BREAKING NEWS!

During a special session of the Rammsteinburg legislature from early to late evening, martial law was declared. According to the third ammendment constitution of Rammsteinburg, only the legislature can declare martial law, and now, for the first time in the history of the Free German Commonwealth of Rammsteinburg, this ammendment has been evoked. The new Hauptoffzier Ronald H. Krycek attempted to veto the declaration of martial law, but his veto was overode.

According to the third ammendment, The Minister of Defence, who is the official head of the military, will assume the position of chief executive and chief legislator when martial law is declared. This means that Eric Waters, who was made Minister of Defence only a few days ago, is now leader of Rammsteinburg.

The declaration of martial law calls for the military only to be in control until the civil war is over. The wartime council has been disbanded.
