The news reports regarding widespread famine in our country are sensationalist in nature. We have NO problems with mass starvation at this time. It is true that our crop yields have been disappointing this year, but the stories mentioning looting, civil disorder, cannibalism, etc., are fabrications and exaggerations!
Several media outlets have reported gunfire in the streets of New Paris, allowing their viewers' imaginations to run wild. Let me assure you that the gunfire is simply overly exuberant celebration over a proposed national holiday. We are in complete control here.
In unrelated news, we beseech the UN and humanitarian agencies throughout the world to send food, potable water, medicine, ammunition - anything. We desperately need grain to avert a catastrophe this winter.
That is all!
Henri LaPonte, Prime Minister Pro-Tem of the Glorious Republic of Tanry-Vu.
