Josh Burnt, a tall, slender, decent looking man with a deep, dark tan and black, slicked back hair, had just arrived from ViZion News Broadcast Headquarters in ViZion City. He was appointed to help deliver VNB news to the world.

Not longer after he arrived was he put on.

Hello! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast. I am proud to be bringing you news straight from the presses in ViZion right to your screen! We've got some big news tonight to share with you!

ViZion has officially exited the conflict in Xirnium (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447234), after reports stated that the Xirnium delegate at a peace meeting being held in ViZion pulled a gun on the various delegates, threatening to kill them. He was talked down, and quickly left the meeting. However, after that incident, ViZion was not willing to just help defend their nation.

After a press release by Xirnium's Grand Crappinal... Err, I mean Grand Cardinal began to call ViZion names, ViZionarian officials decided to exit the conflict, leaving Xirnium to fend for its self.

Said General Asherman, "We just will not take it! Their Grand Cardinal pulled a gun on us, threatening to kill the delegates. After being told to put the gun away, he spat on our ground and walked out. Following that, they then began mocking us in the media. We will not tolerate that."

The forces that are leaving Xirnium are headed home, and are expected to then be routed towards the nation of Mondoth, who has threatened nuclear war upon ViZion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448192).

This whole event was caused after Mondoth threatened a blockade on Raven Corporation, who had begun selling a new bioweapon that would kill most everything except humans. ViZion demanded they do not proceed.

While they have yet to begin their blockade, they have threatened ViZion and others with nuclear war. Thus, ViZion has begun preparations for nuclear war, as well as begun to call upon her allies. ViZion is not tolerant of such threats, and ViZion has Mondothian targets in their sites for a retaliation nuclear strike should Mondoth attempt to strike ViZion with their nuclear weapons.

Credonia, Comdidia, and others have pledged support at this time to ViZion.

Also, to update you on President Delain's son being accused of the murder of two teenagers (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447302), he has been found guilty. His sentencing is due tomorrow.

And ViZionarians are still trying to get use to the newly created ViZionarian flag (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448040). Many find it odd to have the country's flag and national animal on it.

I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast, reporting to you from NationStates News Networks. Until next time... Josh jumps out of his seat and onto the desk, and begins to breakdance in a manor that appears that he is having sex with a woman under him as the rap/sex song "Like Romeo and Juliet" begins to play, Get It On! He continues this until he's off the air.

OOC: You stole my IDEA! Just kidding. Though I did post a simular post called NATIONSTATES GLOBAL NEW NETWORK (NGNN) Anywho on with news

Femal Telecaster: Good evening. Kanami's Cold stand off with the nation of Stevid has recently come to and End. In Carmina Gadalica now is Roger Thorton, Roger.

Roger Thorton: (field reporter) Kanami's Cold War with Stevid is finally over. The hostile agression between the two nations started when Stevid started deporting Muslims of the nation area. Prime Minister Steven Koolridge announced that he would not tolerate it. PM Conroy of Stevid also made Kanami note they would not tolerate to be threatend, and if so have it be resulting in military force. The two finally agreed to a peace summit on a undisclosed ship somewhere between the two nations. However the arguments we're just one stale mate after another, and both finally agreed to a Non Agression Pact. PM minister of Kanami was vastly disapointed. (stock clip) "I fell it was a failure. Even though we avoided war, I failed to stop the deportations." Now PM also was fairly disapointed in the International Comuntiy as well (clip) "I'm disapointed in the international comunity for not standing up to this. For not saying it was wrong. Not saying "darnit just stop!" Appathey is what is going to get us all killed, and they we're mighty apathetic to cntinue to let this happen, and not trying to stop it. They just said it's your business not ours, and they just used soverignty as a buffer. "
In closing the PM had this to say about the Nation of Stevid. "I'm disapointed in Stevid. I'm disapointed that they would shatter a fragile democracy for temporary safty. They work so hard to look you in the eye, and justify their actions and tell you what they are doing is right, and evryone else is wrong." (end footage) Since the incident Stevid has had a bad rep in Kanami. Protesters taken to the streets (more clip footage) chanting: "BOYCOT STEVID! BOYCOT STEVID!"
Woman: Stevid is a shame to the world. And the rest of the world should be ashamed of them selves too, for not trying to stop it. For leting the fear and the hate dominate over the justice and tolerance. Just as the PM said. Kanami is the only one with guts in this world."
(end footage)
Now these protests are continuing as we speak. People stand outside of shops passing out flyers telling people to boycot Stevid. Now there are acutal imigrents from Stevid here in Kanami and if they are being affected or not is not know yet. But it is possible they could. From Carmina Gadalica I'm Roger Thorton NNN News Network.
-------------------------------
Telecaster: Thanks Roger. Well while some people call for boycots, others have another agenda, only NOT with Stevid. The Principality of Kurona is curently in a state of envioremental crisiss. But not by polutents, but by mother nature her self. For the last monnth-and-a-half Kurona has been bashed by storms after storms, runing crops, homes economic centers, and paralyzing the nation. And what is Kanami doing? The answer is mobolizing and preparing for a humanitarien Mission to Kurona to aid the Princess in pulling the nation back together again. Now we do not have any reporters in Kurona at this time but some have already departed for the Capital of Sonomi. The Nation has called for the following:

*Food and other provisions

*Military Aid, for law enforcement

*Rescue Teams along with Helicopters

and Metorologists, to find out what is going on with Kurona's weather. Now for thoes of you who don't know Kurona is a developing nation, with few modern ties. It's almost like a pre-technologial society, so obviously it isn't getting anywhere fast. Prime Minister Steven Koolridge has called for ALL Nations of the World to please help this strugling nation.

Koolridge: "We must not turn our backs when a cry for help is called out. Princess Tomoyo is willing to risk the soveignty, and purity of her nation to bring about help to their citizens. The nation's Government is losing it's controll over disaster zones, and anarchy is breaking lose. The Capital City of Sonomi is on the verge of a major flood. And food shortages are sever. Many farms have been wipped out in the process of this natual clataclysmic disaster. And many are starving. Kanami is mobolizing a Disaster Relife Unit as we speak. And we will be the first ones on the sceen. I urge the Red Cross to get involved in this as well. Let's do some good let's do it now."

Now again the Republic of Kanami is calling for all nations to help. Also you the citizens of anynation can help. If you would like to Volunteer you can call this international hotline at 1-800-666-666 Interperaters will be able to take your calls in any language.

07-10-2005, 21:43

SONOMI: A weird metorological shift has pushed a massive storm front over the large nation of Kurona. The storm has led to flooding in many costal areas, ice in the northern region, and rain soaked streets every mile around the fine nation. Sonomi's water disposal system is expexcted to eventually over flow, leading to a mass flood of the entire capital city. The Parliment is pinned inside the Capital city with no real way out. The weather is too sever for Kurona's un-convential transports to leave the city, and many roads out side of the Capital are flooded or grid locked by mud or anti-government. it's not known how long this storm system will remain over Kurona but it certianlly doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Kurona's Parliment has called for international aid to help keep the nation together and even be needed get the princess and her cabinate out of the city, and onto a safe location.

While war rages between Czardas and Scellia -- with nations such as The Silver Sky and Tilooka joining the fray -- a Muesilanian task force has landed in Tilooka to attempt to capture the rebel leaders responsible for this conflict, Lionel Porosevec and James LaFleur, who are allegedly hiding in Tilooka. Meanwhile, the threat of a hurricane in waters somewhat south of Czardas is prompting Scellian forces to begin moving closer to Czardas, resulting in increased shelling from the shore.

Stacey Keibler had just flown in on a modified Boeing 777 with the Shazbotdom News Network logo on the side of it. She walked into the building and toward the newsroom to watch the ViZion news broadcaster finish up their segment. She then walked into the newsroom and sat at a spot that was designated to her by the producers. The director started the countdown.
5....4...3...2...1...LIVE!

"This is Stacey Keibler of the Shazbotdom News Network reporting to you live from the desk of the NationStates News Network. Explosions rocked the countryside in Shazbotdom (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447657) today as a brutal and deadly attack was staged against the Shazbotdom Marine Corps by the Nation of Kahanistan. These unjust attacks were in retaliation to the Pure Socialist Holy Empire stating that they will defend the Nation of Jenrak against Kahanistan's military forces. The first blast was at Fort Wood and did nearly 1.4 Trillion USD damage to the complex. A total of 12,647 people died in the initial attack. 12,435 of those were military personel, mainly Marines, and 212 of those who were killed barbaricly were School Children on a fieldtrip for the 'Get to know the Marine Corps' program that Emporer Leotardia set up almost 4 years ago. Demands were made to the Nation of Kahanistan to pay roughly 5.6 Billion USD for the damage that they caused to the Military base and to the families of those school children who were killed.

Their immediate reaction to the demands made by the Emporer of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire was to launch a second, more powerful nuclear device on Fort Klegland. This time the blast ripped through very few buildings and there were no casualties but it did cause the shutdown of the major interstate leading from the cities of Bolingbrook and Joliet to the capital city of Shaz City. Millions of tourists were stranded in the towns unless they had the money to pay a private pilot to fly them to the international airport in Shaz City. Accorind to last reports, the reparations have yet to be transferred to the bank accounts within the Pure Socialist Holy Empire of Shazbotdom. I will leave you with words for thought. 'Why have men fallen to the assumption that nuclear weapons solve problems when they only cause more?' I thank you and hope the people of the world have a plesant day."

"This is Gen Krahe of the Helghast Official News reporting a speech that General Lente, our leader of the Helghast army, has released to the public, outside of the Helghast Headquarters. He says that years after the massive rearmament program for Helghast soldiers, during Scolar Visari's beggining of his leadership in Helghan, he and Visari have initiated a Nuclear Weapons program. They will be using some of the funding for the Armed Forces to use for the program. He states that the weapons being produced will be state-of-the-art technology, meaning that it will have better abilities that other WMDs do not. For example: The uranium, found in our planet, is stronger and deadlier due to the radiation in the air making it even more of a threat to enemy states. Another example is: it's ability to be launched from Helghan, into space, and into Earth, because of the powerful radiation, stronger armor for the missiles, and the great speed it has - even faster than cruise and ballistic missles that others use.
"Lente also states that if we are to be deadlier, then we are to use these weapons to help strengthen our might against hostile nations. He wants to use these weapons even during imperialism against hostile regions and nations."

Josh Burnt was summoned to give some updates through NSNN once again;

Hello! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast. I am proud to be bringing you news straight from the presses in ViZion right to your screen!

To update you on a few things, ViZion and Mondoth are no longer at the edge of nuclear war (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448192) anymore, as the two sides have begun peace talks, and Mondoth has backed down from its threats of nuclear attacks against ViZion and other nations.

Involved in the peace talks are Mondoth, ViZion, and Credonia, trying to settle a situation that was set off by Mondothian threats of a blockade against Raven Corporation to keep them from selling a new biological weapon.

Also, ViZion is now reconsidering defending Xirnium (”http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447234”) after Yallak, the nation claiming Xirnium as a protectorate, offered to host talks between the two nations before relations completely broke down, which was set off by Xirnium's Grand Cardinal pulling a gun on the delegates of a peace meeting trying to stop a war that threatened the very existance of Xirnium.

ViZion and Xirnium have agreed to meet in Yallak to try to settle the situation that has threatened to cause ViZion and Xirnium to become enemies. Reports tell us that the same ViZionarian delegate who attended the peace conference will also be attending these talks.

Day Delain, President Delain’s 24 year old son found guilty of murder in the first degree on two accounts, was publicly flogged to death (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448511) today. Thousands attended, and millions watched from their television.

While President Delain would say nothing, we will replay the flogging. I wish to warn our viewers that this is extremely graphic, so we urge those with a weak stomach, as well as young viewers, to leave the room.

The screen changes over from Josh Burnt to an camera panning over a crowd of over 20,000 ViZionarians chanting “Death to the Murderer!” and waving ViZionarian flags.

Once the camera reached the center, where an opening was, the camera began zooming in. You could see Day Delain, surrounded by six men. Day was tied to two posts on either side of him, spread eagle.

Finally, the six men grabbed various different objects – three held spiked metal rods, three held whips with sharp, jagged pieces in them.

Quickly, they began to flog him. They hit him rapidly, seemingly being fired from a machine gun, they struck so quickly. You could hear the crowd going wild, cheering for this.

Soon, blood was everywhere, covering everything. A lake of red blood sat, growing below him. Blood splattered with every hit at this point, as his flesh was essentially eaten away, Day Delain being nothing more than a pulp of eaten up flesh, inners, and blood.

It had only been two minutes. But the flogging was finished. A very gruesome flooding that would be remembered from here on forward, and to set an example to all those who felt powerful connections could get them out of trouble.

The screen returned to Josh Burnt, who was clearly trying to get his emotions under control. It took him a moment to be able to speak.

Well, there you go. Whew. That was something else. That sums it up for tonight’s major news in ViZion! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast, reporting to you from NationStates News Networks. Until next time... Josh jumps out of his seat and onto the desk, and begins to breakdance in a manor that appears that he is having sex with a woman under him as the rap/sex song "Like Romeo and Juliet" begins to play, Get It On! He continues this until he's off the air.

A small man appears on the screen wearing a dark blue kimono and black hakama. he also wears the paired swords of a samurai.

"Kaigan sama what response have the UN given about the events which happened after the march?"

Kaigan takes a deep breath and replies "I haven't got any response from delegates yet but you can be sure the UN know about. International news agencies were present at the time so we can't hush this up.

We are going to have to face some hard questions but we will cope here"

"thank you Kaigan sama" the reporter replies and terminates the link.

Celebrations can be seen in every street of every town as families are united.”

The screen cuts to images of people running and jumping through the streets in every manner of celebration. It then cuts to a massive square with and even more immense gate in the background. Before the gate a massive man is giving a speech to the silent reverent crowd.

“Victory celebrations climaxed with a speech from the general of our armed forces, Lucifuge, Hand of the Emperor. He declared that he and the Emperor would be stepping down from direct power and instating elections and civil rights. He also stated that he intended to run. Recent polling shows him as the favorite by over thirty points.”

Arkanaland Morning News
"We bring it to You first, because No One Else is Awake."

Yesterday, the C.C.E. signed several Mutual Protection pacts and Trade Agreements, with New Sans, Zackaroth, The Toker, and recent International Newcomer, Psychomaniacs. These pacts will open up previously restricted International Trade, and promises to bring more jobs to resident Arkanalanders.

Also yesterday, the Company called Braxtell, which has brought the Citizens of Arkanaland the Self-Detonating Fire Extinguisher, is now under siege. Its corproate headquarters has been surrounded by C.D.I. Corporate Guard, which has the duty to route out underhanded Corporations from the Government.

Braxtell previously held a rear position in the Corporate Board, before its representative was arrested on Charges of False Advertising. No, not for the Self-Detonating Fire Extinguisher - it had warning labels. But instead, for its new non-prescription drug - Phallistate. Supposedly a "Nation Enhancing" drug, which is targeted towards Leaders of Nations. Rumor has it that Jake Blair, the President and CEO of the C.C.E., tried to drug, and a few hours later, had to have an emergency stomach pump.

"This is Johnothan Tang comming to you live from Parliament Square in Downtown Shaz City where protests have broken out. Thousands of people have hit the streets demanding retribution for those Two Hunded and Twelve school children that were brutally murdered in the nuclear attacks two weeks ago by Kahanistan. As you can see behind me, these people are not going to leave until the government does something to show these protestors that something is being some."

Signs behind the reporter read 'Down with Kahanistan', 'Fuck those assholes', and 'We want BLOOD, and we want it NOW!'. The reporter wsa standing as far back from the crowd as he could.

"Earlier, we talked to the organizer of this protest about what is going on and what they expect from the government."

An image of a rather pissed off female appeared on the screen. Below her, just to the right of her name, Abigal Mentora, was the words, "Recorded Earlier".

Abigal: "What we want is some asshole to burn for what he did. I lost my 13 year old, Jimmy, in those nuclear attacks. Thank Kod for the government though, they helped pay for his funeral. But God Damn those Kahanistan Nationals for doing this. I want someone to pay for this!"

The image went back to the reporter.

"Leaks from inside the Parliament Building is that a massive force is forming right now consisting of our allies from the Ottoman Alliance and some other allies who believe that what was done to the Pure Socialist Holy Empire was wrong. This is Johnothan Tang, back to you in the studio."

The image went to the studio of the Shazbotdom News Network. Stacey was sitting there alone as usual.

Stacey: "In other news, the last of those killed in the nuclear blasts were burried today. Hundreds of people who lived near the sight of the second blast have been reported as checking into hospitals with radiation poisoning. Most are said to be in Critical Condition as others are to be in fair condition. We'll keep you updated as more information gets handed to us. This is Stacey Keibler of the Shazbotdom News Network.

The military has apparently begun a military coup (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=461880)! Roughly 10,000 ViZionarian soldiers have entered ViZion City. While they have yet to begin any firing, it is clear something is happening, and given the recently political fights, we believe President Villian is attempting to take complete control of this country, turning ViZion into a far-right-wing fascist state!

ViZionarians have already begun to arm them selves as the Arm Polls have begun opening, however no fighting has been reported yet. The Congressional Hall have begun to barricade its self, however the security will not be able to hold off 10,000 soldiers if they are the target.

I ask for you from the ViZionarian people! Send aid! We are getting camera's set up as we speak, and you will soon see what is going on inside this city!

Hello and this is Lon Nollon for the ANN Network.

The Republic of Agonnoga has encountered another difficulty in regards to the military. The difficultly is none other than the proposed legislation on merging the law enforcement agences with the military. This is not new compared to other ventures that our nation has done in it's past. One simply has to look at the Socialist Revolution to see what our military can do for the civilian population. However, in merging the two enitites into one can only bode ill for our nation-state. Current polls have placed 73% of the population against such a move with 25% for it, mostly located in the barren lands west of the Atlassalta Mountains. The 1% is mostly attributed to those whom have not been privy to the poll.

Royal Geletian News Corporation breaking news - Soldiers Massacred as Foreign Extremism Takes Hold in Mountains

The RGNC newsroom, a familiar sight to most of six billion Geletians and quite likely some millions of Azazians and others, looks unchanced for the troubles of the continent that for generations has dominated the Indian Ocean. Aithne Thomas, one of those to have adopted a surname and Christianised herself to a partial degree, without yet having changed her given name, puts on the sombre tone and stiff expression used when reporting on a mine collapse or the tsunami, and addresses the viewing public.

Her attempt, as part of the capitalist aparatus, is to shock the nation with terrible news of what can happen when people lose faith in parliament and the parties.

"Up to eighteen soldiers of the 117th Durcodi Rifles are feared dead, this evening, after RGNC received information, in the form of socialist propaganda pamhplets and reputed eye-witness testimony, that a riot in the Sygun Copper Mines district had lead to, 'shameful acts of violence' as the Minister for Pennymount said in this exclusive interview."

"Ah, this... tradgedy... as appears to have happened... is clearly an affront to the democratic process..."

The Minister could not get a word in. He was being heckled by his own constitutents, and a rotten potato could be seen to whip past his head. People were shouting that the closure of mines was done without a thought for democratic will, and the deployment of soldiers to block worker self management schemes was done in direct opposition to democratic dictates. There was a silence of about two seconds before a cut back to the studio.

"I'm sorry, we seem to have lost the minister, there, ah, the news is that, as you've heard, up to eighteen soldiers have reportedly been killed by rioters from the Sygenii tribe, who, I can, I'm afraid, report, have apparently taken the heads of the soldiers as trophies.

"The rioters are believed to be acting under the influence of foreign Soviets, most notably from the Igovian Soviet Commonwealth, and with arms from unknown foreign sources, suspected terorrist groups..."

The Republican Civil Guard and the Civil Police have been officially merged by Legislative Act Number 2201a. Now it will be only the Republican Guard that will patrol our lands. Although this will take some time to formally merge all units under a military designation, many of the western provences have been adopting it wholesale. The eastern provences, however, are not. Massive protests have been noted in the coastal cities on this militant edging that the current administraiton has been taking. The President's Office has officially stated that it is not for a military coup; rather it is to certify the security of the federation rather than his own control. To show that he meant business, the President has formally relenquished his commission within the military and has opted to set elections a year from now to show good faith for his support. However, in doing so, the President has opened up divisions within the Anarchic Party, whom seek to replace his main support bloc with their own voices. The Libertarian Party has formally petitioned the President to formally declare his allegiance to their party, since it was them who inspired the Revolution Reform to begin with.

"Good Morning, Asgarnieu. Here is your news today. The Grand Parliment has declared Stem Cell research a 'legal and profitable venture'. However, nearly 1 million protesters in Druid Province have taken to the streets. They are massed in Capital Square. The Asgarnian Royal Parlimentary Guard, Asgarnian Marines, and the Asgarnian Army have joined forces to prevent any damage to the area, although they likely will not be able to stop them. We now go to Wanda Havsum Seks in the field, Live at Capital Square."

"Thank you Harry. As you can see, the nearly one million protesters are starting fires and looting businesses in the area. We have recieved word that Asgarnian Marine helicopter gunships will be called in to quell the hostilities if nessicary. You can hear the gunfire in the background, and you can probably see several people going down in the streets. They are using the Non-Lethal FN 303 to attempt to disable rioters. Asgarnian President Justin Herbert has called for a 'stop to the madness'. Oh my! The gunships have arrived, and are now firing rockets that seem to be filled with BZ riot gas. Back to you, Harry."

"Thank you, Wanda. In other news, a large shipment of weaponry has gone missing near Ruppio Island. Ruppio Island is a large, un-inhabited province that is home to one of the largest animal sanctuaries in the region. The shipment was aboard a cargo ship named Calm Waters. Navy spokesman Trevor C. Inglett had this to say:"

"The Calm Waters went missing from sea radar at around 0400 hours. Although no S.O.S. signal was sent out, and the emergency tracking beacon was never activated, its last position on our radar was marked. Several Asgarnian Coast Guard vessels have been dispatched to the area, and a large search area has been established. The Calm Waters was carrying 4,000 AM-4A1 Assault Rifles, 500 85mm mortars, and other various weaponry. With this kind of firepower in the wrong hands, we could have a very serious situation on our hands."

Morale is fairly low amongst the troops, as almost every battle in this Civil War has gone to the Dominion, under Grand Admiral Kyp Droma. General Nevar Cracken was injured earlier in the week, and moved to critical care, another blow for the already failing Federation forcs. The death count continues to mount, especially in the battle in the skies overhead, as Rebel Strike forces, teamed with the Federation, are being absolutely dominated by Dominion forces. Prospects are fairly grim at this point, and the Federation truly needs a miracle to have any hope of pulling off a victory to change the tide of this war.

The screen showed a younger man, wearing a white collared shirt with a khaki vest, standing on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier while fighters landed behind him, catching the arresting cables. He paused for a moment before speaking:

"This is Guy Anderson, reporting for Aequatian News Net from the deck of the Aequatian Republic Navy Fleet Carrier Artemis during its ongoing, operational deployment to Red Tide waters where it is taking part in various missions such as land attack and air combat patrols as part of the multinational coalition that is attempting to invade and overthrow the current administration within the nation of Red Tide and hopefully occupy the nation to install a proper, democratic government.

The incident started when civil protests, which had grown to violent uprisings by ordinary Red Tidean citizens to throw off the oppression which was a trademark of the Red Tide government, were seeing such repressive tactics by government forces such as chemical attacks involving Phosgene Gas and even tactical nuclear warheads. The last action prompted many nations which had previously been monitoring Red Tide since the last coalition invaded the nation on behalf of the troubled Kingdom/Republic of Frozopia, which had contained nations such as Anagonia, Czardas, Minnechusettsfornia, Stoned Ninjas and the Corporation of Northrop-Grumman along with the Aequatian Republic to act once again and begin conducting operations against the nation of Red Tide, only this time to only accept the complete surrender of the nation's armed forces and government leaders.

The current coalition is centred mainly around the military forces of the Aequatian Republic Navy and Marine Corps, Anagonia, Aralonia, Czardas, The Silver Sky, Rosdivan and Wilhelmsborough which have, at the moment, placed several thousand soldiers ashore along with several support elements such as armoured vehicles, tanks and artillery. Reports from the beachhead fighting is sketchy, although there have already been accounts of heavy losses for both sides, especially Red Tidean civilians attempting to flee from their own nation's rampaging military forces, many who were killed in a horrible chemical attack involving Phosgene Gas. There has been no word from either side though about the deployment of nuclear weapons, although Aequatian Central Command has vowed they will not be the first nation to deploy nuclear weapons against the nation of Red Tide in an offensive manner unless as a pre-emptive strike to prevent such weapons from being deployed against the Republic homeland.

CorpSac retaliated with a nuclear strike of their own. We have yet to hear word of an update, however it is rumored the strike was a complete success.

Vietnamexico will fall soon - possibly even tonight. They've been given a chance to surrender before a massive cooperative invasion between allied forces hits their shores, however it is said to be a slim to nill chance of happening. We are awaiting their response, and I will keep you informed as the news breaks!

BREAKING NEWS
Typhoon bound for Mirkana!

A woman in a dress uniform sits behind a news desk. Viewers with HDTV or really good eyesight can make out the name "S. Raleigh" on the uniform.
"Good evening, and welcolme to Mirkanan Public News. I am Sarah Raleigh. The Weather Bureau today confirmed that barring a miracle, Typhoon Nathan will strike Mirkana soon."
The camera switches. A Mirkanan Air Force officer is operating a projector displaying images of a typhoon.
"According to our projections, Typhoon Nathan will hit Mirkana. Now, Nathan is only projected to reach Category 2, but we have had surprises in the past. The city of Parduk, on the east coast, is likely to suffer the worst damage. Preparations are underway."
Camera switches back to the news desk.
"Shortly afterwards, General Remmol issued a brief statement."
Camera switches to a familiar sight for Mirkanans - the Command Center. General Remmol is sitting in his trademark swivel chair. A plate of scrambled eggs is next to a keyboard.
"I've, uh, been in contact with the Weather Bureau, and we have determined that the danger is not sufficient to warrant evacuation. Now, I'm no meteorologist, but the guys at the Weather Bureau are. I'm relying on their advice. So, if they screw this one up, it's their heads that roll."
Back to the news desk.
"In other news, the Air Force launched another satellite at Kravania. The warhead was loaded with LSD."

31-05-2006, 07:44

Early Saturday morning, a man (his name may not be disclosed at the time) emerged from his house, carrying his sawed-off shotgun (which is legal in Parkus) after hearing noise in his yard, and discovered a youth spraying his wall with spray-paint, spelling out a gang signs along with two other boys. The man opened fire, witho-out hesitation, opened fire on the youth, killing him instantly with the first volly.
Later, the man was arrested for manslaughter. The Emperor, who will judge the trial, plans to fully aquit the man, for defense of his home and property. It was well known, that it is against the law for minors to buy, or posses spray-paint, without help from their legal-guardians. Thus, the parents will be given a full lecture on the diciplining of their offspring, especially, if the paint was stolen.
The unfortunate boy's funeral will be held Tuesday, the Emperor will be in attendence, as he does not advocate, killing needlessly. And does not support the mans actions. And says he is not joyful over the boy's death, but will NOT hold the killer responsible for his actions.

Thats all for the breaking story on Patriot News.

VIETNAMEXICO GIVEN A CHANCE TO SURRENDER!
The red, flashing headline seemed to scream over the video of their capital city in rubble.

"Hello, I am Herald Mobly. As the allied forces near Vietnamexico, ViZion has offered for a second time the chance for the Vietnamexican government to surrender peacefully and be replaced by a temporary allied forces government until a new Vietnamexican government can be forced.

While it seems unlikely to happen, ViZion has appealed to Bonstock, an ally of Vietnamexico who entered on the defense of Vietnamexicans to try to talk some sense into their government, and to accept the surrender agreement.

Bonstock has also agreed only to offer humanitarian aid and to attempt to shoot down allied forces missiles, but will otherwise not intervene. ViZion has also sent them a strict warning to keep to their word, and if they do not, it will be viewed as a declaration of war upon ViZion.

I will keep you updated as updates roll in.

"Hello, I am Herald Mobly from VNB!" said a jubilant Molby in a very gung ho mannerism, "Today is a day not to be forgotten as the government of Vietnamexico has surrendered! Yes, third time's a charm! The third time ViZion offered the surrender agreement - and likely the last before an allied forces invasion would strike Vietnamexico - they accepted, against what most believed would not be accepted!

Tommy Ricker is currently outside the Capital Building in ViZion City, ViZion, and he will report to you from what seemed to be the center of all the action during the past few days."

Tommy Ricker stood outside the Capital Building on a hot, humid, breezy night in the capital. Behind him stood the gated Capital Building, the palm trees swaying in the breeze, while all around him, thousands upon thousands were in the midst of a massive celebration - one of many across ViZion City, across ViZion, and across all of the allied countries.

"This is Tommy Ricker, and I am standing here in the middle of a massive celebration caused by the breaking news of Vietnamexico's surrender. As you can see, everyone is just... going WILD over this victory that went without a single ViZionarian life being lost, and far fewer losses in Vietnamexico than what would have resulted if ViZion was forced to invade.

As you can see, there are many people in the Capital Building, and those outside are clearly elated about this. I'm sure there much celebrating inside there as well. I know there is out here!"

With that, Tommy began celebrating, jumping around and dancing with the thousands surrounding him as music blaired from all over.

"Thank you Tommy, enjoy the party for us here in the NationStates News Network building!

I will keep you informed as more news breaks!

Have a good night, and happy victory, folks!"

A lame news theme tune plays. A dark studio lights up, with an over-age anchorman sitting behind a desk.

"Good morning Martentopis! It is four o'clock, and you're watching Martentopis Afternoon News with me, Molt Grovty!" The anchor flips a page of one of his news sheets.

"Our main headlines are.... Martentopis airforce bombs an alleged Ankhalla torturing centre... A giraffe stampede results in 1 death and many people in intensive care in need of blood donors... Polygamist rebel, saying wives are like choclate, you can never get enough of them!"

"Our great Dictator has decided to bomb a prison facility in Ankhalla which allegedly tortures it's prisoners. Kol Lacon sends us this report from the Third Army base in Martentopiano."

A young reporter in his twenties pops up on the screen. "Yes, thank you Molt. From what the commander of the airforce, Ding Dong has told us in a recent press conference, the bombing only took place because our military agents in Ankhalla had discovered a prison facility which actually tortures it's prisoners. The Commander also told us that we will try not to hit any residential areas of the prisoners, only the gaurd posts."

"And Kol," breaks in Molt Grovy, "Has the government even discussed the issue with the Ankhalla government?"

"There have been several diplomatic conferences with Ankhalla, but the country never seemed to respond! I beleive the decision of our government is a terribly good one, because we can't just let people violate human rights this much!"

The screen returns to Molt Grovy. "We shall return with news about the giraffe stampede in Martentopiano, after this short break."

"It is possible Stevid could be a good freind, and ally. The Kuronans have seen good in them, and the Princess is not a foolish girl. Democracy can reform enemies into allies."

"This poposition has been met with much opposition either from the parliment, or displaced and bitter Stevid refugees."

Protesters hold signs saying various things: ROMENY STAY AWAY!

"Just this afternoon temporary Emperor Jovan Norris declared that missing President Darius Shulze will be terminated from office officially starting Monday and elections for his successor to begin. Polls will open tomorrow at 4:00am and be open until 11:00pm.

The former President has been accused by the Imperial government for treason to the empire for allegedly staging various terrorist attacks across the empire including a biological attack at the Tri Towers in Super City, infiltrating the Capitol Building in Vorencia which killed 12 Senators, and attempting to cooperate with government officials in Ambai and Valenasjaski for their failed attempt to secede from the empire."

Today, the Asgarnian President announced that Asgarnieu has made another Territorial Claim. Wallis and Futuna is the newest addition to the Asgarnian Overseas Territorial Claim Group. The President had this to say:"

"Today, we celebrate. We now claim Wallis and Futuna as ours! The French will do nothing to stop us. As of 0530 today, we contacted the leaders of France, and they ceded the territory to us..."

"In other news, a terrorist attack on The Government Complex was thwarted thanks to the watchful eyes of a few Asgarnian Citizens. When interviewed, they had this to say:"

"Seeing as we are now allowed to carry weapons, when we saw the 6 men with the AK-74's, we payed little attention. It was when they pulled out a large, shiny cylindrical object that was plastered with 'Radioactive' stickers that we got nervous. I saw them prep the cylinder, and I informed several passers-by on the street of the situation. We all pulled out our assorted weaponry, and opened fire. We killed the 6 men, and called the Balkan City Royal Police."

"Undoubtedly, without those brave citizens, we would have surely been in trouble. Now to the Military Desk. Since the 2 billionth Asgarnian was born, Asgarnieu has been planning a major refinement in the Asgarnian Collective Armed Forces. It was announced today that the Asgarnian Collective Armed Forces now has over one-billion citizens' worth of elligible manpower.

Good mornin', Free Tulsa. It is 5:45 a.m. here at the studio in New Oklahoma City and you're watching CTV Channel 3's Morning Report. We will begin with international news. There is very little relevant news.... (the reporter thumbs through the notes, muttering) Ah, here's something. Principal Chief Mitchel Runnels has announced that the so-called "Galactic Empire of Mationbuds" will be opening an embassy here soon. This is an important event because Mationbuds is the first offworld power we have made contact with. More on that story in the 7:00 edition. In other news, Chief Runnels issued a withering condemnation of the United States of America and vowed to, quote, "avenge the wrongs wrought upon our people". This raises speculation: is Free Tulsa going to war? The United States is admittedly a shadow of the giant it was when we seceded, but its military power is still formidable - how else have they kept six hundred million people subdued? Reserve callups and leave cancellations that have been taking place for the last few months supports the conclusion that Free Tulsa is planning to invade the mainland U.S. soon. We will be watching this story closely. In local news, federal lighthorsemen believe that they are close to solving a series of brutal murders in Little Guthrie..........

(OOC: My government is modeled partially after the current Native American tribal governments. The Principal Chief is the equivalent to the President. Lighthorsemen are policemen.)

Arbite City Tribune

Pale Rider Arms released its quarterly earnings report today, suprising many with its stunning profits this period. Total earnings of the corporation have risen by an astonishing three trillion dollars in the last month, leading many critics to question the legitimacy of this report, citing recent well-publicised financial misconduct trials involving other large corporations.

These allegations were silenced by a government investigation, which proved the veracity of the documents. Analysts say that the profits most likely stem from Pale Rider Arm's new SuperGrid system, which has provided it with a stranglehold on the energy market, as well as reduced costs and increased popularity of their line of hydrogen powered automobiles.

Daniel Quetzal, CEO of Pale Rider Arms, could not be reached to comment on this matter.

It seemed as though thousands of lights were flashing, the cameras from the various news agencies wouldn't stop, and the Supreme Councilor of Finances stepped down from the podium to welcome the President.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Jov Uyrt reporting for the NationStates News Network, coming live from New Hivez, to broadcast President Alicia Daniels' speech on the refugee crisis in the Federal Provinces of Daijima and North Osea, let's listen..."

"The situation is grave, millions and millions of Asian refugees continue to pour into our nation via Daijima, our public works programs, have only employed 16% of the current refugee workforce. Healthcare, and education, and housing, are often commodities not afforded by many. We have a massive military, with little or no enemies to fight. Combine this with the national police budget and we spend over 40% of our budget on security alone. Imagine the good we could do if we downsized our military. The war is over, we no longer need a huge military."

"Madame President! What plans do you have to bring order to North Osea now that the Kazachs have finally signed the last Article of the Treaty of Non-Aggression and Peace?"

"Our policies concerning North Osea are currently is their infancy, everyone knows this, however, we had not counted on there being so many Kazach and Greykans displaced by the war. The Kazach underground cities are helping us in our reconstruction effort, but, because of the nuclear war 20 years ago, I fear there is nothing we can do for North Osea at this time, even radiation scrubbing technology is in its birth-stage right now."

From our Reality to yours, this is the Department of News and information with the report.

"We begin our evening with a light note.

Deuce, son of the Lady, has issued an international challenge, daring anyone to come and outdance him. No word yet if anyone has accepted.

On to other news. With the construction of the Trans-contenental Transportation roadway system, the department of transport has decreed that various signs shall be placed to make the highways safer. Among them, a sign warning that the next establishment known as "Waffle House" cannot be found within an 800 mile Radius of the signs location, and one, written in binary, warning of bridges that have been taken out of service. More news as it develops.

In three days Lady Ri-an, the World spirit, celebrates her birthday. She has announced her cake is to be decorated with on candle for each year she has been alive.

In unrelated news, the nations wax supply has drasticly dwindled. In fact, the Department of Domestic supply has begun seeking foreign wax supplies via the stargate.

The Department census has been completed and the government now consists of 500,000 departments, 100,000 committees, 500 commisions, and The Ministry. The Department of Redundancy Department has initiated an investigation as to the purpose of over 99% of the government.

In significant news, The Dark Priestess, servant of Kajeenith, has taken to wandering. Reports have come in that she has been spotted in many places. One can only hope she isn't seeking a husband.

The Sorcerers of Ri-an have a startling announcement, they've discovered that many children have recently developed magick powers, expanding the number of sorcerers from 9 well trained sorcerers, to 9 well trained sorcerers, and 1,000,000 untrained sorcerers.

And as we closeout, we bring but one more item, a thought:

'So long as the Universe had a beginning, we supposed it must have a creator, but if the universe is completly self contained, having no boundery or edge, then it would niether be created, nor destroyed, it would simply be.' - Stephen Hawking

Kanami

LIVE FROM....

"Welcome back to LIVE FROM... I'm Michell Baker, thanks for joning me. It's offical David Conroy Prime Minister of Stevid is on his way to visit Kanami. He and Prime Minister Romney plan to talk about the Hanover Island Dependency, because of possible threats to national soverignty, the Non-Agression Pact, and other Regional matters. With me today is Author of the Book Expelling Religions: Conroy v.s. Koolridge Mark Bowden thanks for joining us. So Prime Minister Romeny was prepared to mend the fragile relationships with Stevid but this proves to be a bump in that road am I correct?"

"Yes indeed. Now everything to do with Stevid happend under the Koolridge Administration, and the only one remaining from that Administration is Molly Anderson from Homeland Security. This will be Prime Minister Romeny's first encounter with the nation, that has been looked upon with bitter resentment."

"So what compelled Prime Minister Romney to feel diffrently about a nation branded A Great Evil in Human Rights."

"A lot has to do with the Kurona Storm Crises. Steven Koolridge asked Stevid for help, because Kanami was stuck when it came to give supplies to Kurona. Not to mention Kurona has also become allies with Stevid, so natrually this will concrne them too. Princess Tomoyo is at a bit of a moral delima, as to who will she trust? Prime Minister Romeny has tried to not put any pressure on her, other than to be a politcal leader with her nation's saftey in mind. Let's not forget Prime Minister Romeny was very opposed to breaking relations with Kurona, she argued it in the Parliment, in the United Nations, the League of Nations, and in the election. But now we find out Stevid has a dozen or so islands in our own backyard, we're a little worried."

"And of course Prime Minister Romeny hasn't said what she plans to do with thoes islands yet has she?"

"No. I mean she needs to find out what they are for, if they are military strong holds, she may try to argue it violates the NAP. So we're looking at Red July Here. If that is where prisoners that we're not of Stevid approved religion, then she may argue Human Rights Violations, because these people we're stripped of everything they had."

"If they are terrorists?"

"I don't know. Romney isn't a big fan of doing Terrorist Tribunals, but for all we know, they could be Religious people who we're just protecting their family. What really went on in Stevid is a closely guarded secret."

"And the nation isn't too pleased with this."

"No I mean we have protests, from all dominions of faith, and many Stevid Deportees, saying Conroy is a Criminal, A War Lord, An Evil Dictator, many want him on trial for Human Rights Violations. There was one I loved that said Soverignty? What about my Soverignty? obviously one of the reasons Stevid was defended was for it's Soveringty, which is a frustrating word to the Governemnt."

"What about Steven Koolridge, what is he doing about this?"

"Well as far as I know Koolridge is keeping quite, critics are saying It's his big mouth that got is into trouble But I talked to him personally, and he wants Conroy to focus on Romeny, not on Koolridge, not on his personal opinions, and certianlly not on the Expulsion problems, rember I said this will be the first time Prime Minister Romney will have any interaction with this."

"Aqua Anu is here today, it's sort of like a 5-party talk here, and although the Queen is Agonist, she was opposed to it."

"That's right, I mean her daughter Princess Subaru is Catholic, and it kind of rang in her mind, what would it be like for her daughter to be discriminated against? I mean Muslims aren't the only religion that gets singled out like that, even religion it's self get's singled out as cause of the worlds problems, which isn't the case in reality. And ages ago about the mid 1700's Aqua Anu went under such change, I mean it's very secular, but it used to be very religious. And there was a point that all non-christains we're singled out. Now again that was in the 1700's, the Queendom is now far from that."

"We also have Magic Sorcery, which did a similar stunt when Chancellor Kotobuki took over from the Empress."

"Right, very right. M.S. Deported all Non-Magical People. The only diffrence is, when Empress Kinimoto got better she asked everyone to come back, and apologized. And for thoes that didn't, she made sure they we're in all right condition. All recived compensation. Conroy has yet to do any of that. But that of course is not the matter, I think M.S. is trying to start up a relationship with Kanami, because Kanami ironically defended M.S., stating, this is because everyone in the world ignored them when they wanted relations badly. Of course it all ended well."

"Well Mark thanks for Joining us today."

"Hello, and I'm Gee Manansala here, bringing you up to date international and domestic news from our studios in Oured, Osea! Our next topic for today is an interview with the one of the Head Judges on the High Court. During the war, he was a member of a highly elite Kazach force. He befriended an EBG soldier after he captured him and switched sides after that point on. Since then, he has been working with our government and with the Vuhifellian Security Corporation to eradicate as many remaining terrorists as possible. He was nominated for the Head Judge position a month ago, and was elected just last week as the Head Judge for North Osea. Ladies and gentlemen, Vincent Fierra."

"Thank you Gee, it's a pleasure to be with you today."

"Judge Fierra, how does it feel to be the first Judicial representative for your people, in our nation's government."

"It feels wonderful, after the war ended, my people have had nothing but joy participating in the democratic process. I believe that, although most in this continent hold their rights for granted, my people experiencing democracy is...as great a joy as meeting a God. And seeing their brethren hold offices in the capital is...well"

"Yes. Steering off course here Judge Fierra, erm, could you tell us a little more about what the High Court is currently discussing."

"Yes, well, as you all know, VPU officers arrested several high ranking members of several corporations a few weeks ago, so far, all of them have been charged with treason, trading with the enemy, embezzlement, breaking and entering, and hacking."

"I see, and, what could happen to them, if convicted?"

"Well, if they are convicted of all charges brought against them, they could find themselves serving life in prison in Okchabursk."

"Personally, what's your view on the matter?"

"My view, I think these men are guilty, but, as more the matter, I hardly care. Did you know, that, as the High Court decides on the fate of these men, the Supreme Judge has declined an appeal by several Kazach and Asian families to repeal the refugee containment measures? I would rather be discussing the fate of the hundreds of millions of refugees in our country than discussing the prison sentence of a few business executives...."

"Thank you. That's all the time we have for this interview folks, stay tuned on OBC next, we have a replay of the footage taken near Belka Castle, where that VAF helicopter has recently crashed, more details regarding that story, after the break."

The Asgarnian Territorial Army division of the Asgarnian Army invaded Venada Island, The Asgarnian Antarctic Territories, and The North African Union. The take-over was a complete success. The nations crumbled and are now part of the Democratic Empire.

Our next story comes to us straight from the Nellis Test Range in Vegas Province. A new Surface-to-Surface missile was tested at the test range and was deemed a success. The Hajord AGM-31 SSM was developed by the Balkan City based Military Armament Company, Incorporated. It will be used on all new Armored Personnel Carriers and Missile Trucks in the Army, Marines, Royal Parlimentary Guard, and Border Defense Forces.

Our final story comes from the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Another attack by rebels near the Asgarnian Spratly Islands Claim has damaged an Asgarnian Naval Force Ship. The BSH-224 A.N.S. Hokam was attacked with what sailors described as "a large unguided rocket". The A.N.S. Hokam fired back and destroyed the rebel vessel. The damage was minimal, and no one was killed. There were, however 2 injured sailors. Seaman 1st Class Thomas E. Anders and Admiral Samuel K. Seers were injured by the fragmentation effects of the rocket.

Our first story is brought to you from Balkan City's Government Square outside the Grand Parliament building. Today, in an effort to reform the government and give it a more modern and "less archaic" name, the nation's name was changed from the Armed Holy Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu to the United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu. Our field reporter Vicky Combes is on location to report. Vicky?"

"Hello Greg. I'm outside the Grand Parliament building in Balkan City. By an order of the President, the Grand Parliament and Congress voted on an issue that has not been brought up since our President's inception. The decision to change our nation's name was brought up by one of President Herbert's closest Cabinet members. Economic Advisor Timothy Hayes brought it up at a formal luncheon last Friday. Our President decided to take the matter to heart, and last night, ordered Grand Parliament and Congress to vote on the matter. "Issue 1,554,784-GP/C" was voted on and the results were 498-2 Grand Parliament and 491-9 Congress. The law was official at Midnight."

Josh Burnt had aged quite a bit over his many years working at the NNN. ONce a tall, slender, decent looking man with a deep, dark tan and black, slicked back hair, who danced to the song Do It Like Romeo and Juliet, he had grown up, his face hardened, his hair grey.

For the past five years, he travelled between Asgarnieu and ViZion's African claims. However, this would be the first broadcast in those five years, as the ViZion News Broadcast company had, until just days ago, been closed down during that span.

Hello! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast. I am proud to be bringing you news straight from the presses in ViZion right to your screen!

Tonight, I must share with you news of a grave matter. In ViZion, word is that Doomingsland is preparing for an invasion into ViZion's African claims (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505452) in an attempt to completely take over all of ViZion.

This comes just a few days after the rebels began attacking the major ViZionarian cities. It is believed that Doomingsland and other nations looking to take over ViZion had organized the rebels, as well as training and arming them, in an attempt to throw the ViZionarians into chaos, making it easier to take over.

While they succeeded for the first day in creating chaos, their smilies and laughs must have turned cold on them with the immediate rise of Hiro Ando V, great great great grandson of the great President Chiefy.

Hiro has risen and begun to organize the ViZionarians, giving them someone to look to for leadership and a hero. He has since won the hearts, minds, and spirits of ViZionarians across Africa and Italy, as they have begun to rally under his name, calling him part of the newly refound believe in brothers-in-arms.

I will be keeping you updated on this growing situation, which only continues to get worse by the moment, and could soon have profound impacts across the globe.

Until next time, have a good night. he said with a stone face and sad eyes, shuffling his papers as the screen zoomed out and went dark.

"Hello. I'm Marshall Gibbs, and this is the 6:00 news. We're live from Balkan City.

The Asgarnian Armed Forces Command began giving away large amounts of aging military equipment, hoping that it will serve other countries better.

In related news, Asgarnieu announced today its full monitary support of ViZion. The President had this to say:

"We cannot allow ViZion to go unsupported by our government. We have had a very diplomatic relationship over the years, and we're not going to give up. First, we will supply them with the nessicary funds and equipment to fight this war. Then, if nessicary, we will provide full military support.

The Asgarnian Armed Forces Command has issued a 12-Hour Ready State of the Asgarnian Armed Forces. Already, supply packages have been produced and are in transit to ViZion.

We'll be right back with more of the 6 O'Clock News. Stay tuned.

Hello! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast. I am proud to be bringing you news straight from the presses in ViZion right to your screen!

Today, Hiro has made yet another speech regarding the currently declining situation in ViZion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505452). While no crew was at the speech, we, as have any of the worlds press companies, recieved recordings of his speech. We will play it for you now.

---

"Fellow citizens of ViZion! The enemy is preparing! They will likely begin their strike against us sometime within the next one or two days!

These rebels that have rose up from seemingly nowhere, killing thousands in their senseless acts of violence? They have been supplied by, organized by the hostile nations that wish to take our grand country over, killing anyone that opposes them!

Now, most of our allies, the ones we have worked hard with, aiding them in their times of need, having our own men killed in battle, our own supplies sent to them whenever they need it, have seemingly vanished, abandoning us!

Where have they gone in our darkest hours? Our greatest times of need? They have left us, ignored our plees for help, your plees, my plees, our governments plees. They ignore us. Now, it is just us and a very select few nations, including our greatest ally of all time, the Jarridians!

It is, however, up to us, as ViZionarians, to fight off those who seek to kill us, take us over! We must fight them off, push them out of our lands! Then, we must rebuild!

I promise you! Should we stick together, should we, as brothers-in-arms, as common people of this great country of ViZion, unite together and fight, we will be victorious!

And I swear to those nations who are so-called "allies" of ours, so called "friends" of ours who have turned their backs on us. They shall no longer recieve ANYTHING from us! No longer will we sent our people to die in battle to help them! No longer shall we sent our hard-earned money and supplies we have laboured over to create to them at their requests!

We have ALWAYS been there for those nations, and in turn, we are shunned from them, ignored by them in our darkest hours! No longer shall we aid them, no longer shall our name and theirs be spoken in the same sentence along with allies!

ViZionarians! It is up to us, as brothers-in-arms and common citizens of this country to unite and fight! Our fate rests on every one of your backs! To victory we shall march! Brothers we are!

ViZion! UNITE!

It is indeed sad that almost all of ViZion's allies have abandonded them in this time of need. My own family resides in Fickland City in Zambia. I must say, I am worried for them right now. But alas, I must report the happenings of ViZion to you, so you, as the views and citizens of the world, can hear what is happening, and possibly act, speak up to your government, voice your opinions.

I will be keeping you updated. Until next time, have a good night.

The Following Is a Recording, Broadcasted On NSNN

Hiro stood infront of a crowd of over 120,000 people. It was dark, but lights lit up a makeshift stage. Once again, while there were no news crew here, many thousands were videotaping this. It would, indeed, make its way to news companies across the globe by morning.

"Today, I am making two speeches in one. I will firstly be addressing you, my fellow ViZionarians! The second is for the international community at large.

To my fellow ViZionarians! As you are well aware of, the war has begin. Our military made a strike upon the Doomini naval forces, and a lesser-publicized strike was made in ViZionarian Italia against the Doomini occupiers, which was, to a degree, a success, catching the Doomingsland occupying forces completely offguard.

While I know Doomingsland retaliated, I do not know yet of what our brave militia lost. I do know, however, that the strike upon the Doomingsland naval forces was, for the most part, a total failure. It also resulted in the near total destruction of New ViZion, a city I was in just over a week ago going to college at with my friends!

Nearly 3 million are dead or dying it is reported in the retaliation, which included fourteen known nuclear explosions.

Now, the Doomini, Questers, Praetoria, and other aggressors will be marching into our African claims within a day, their naval forces and airforces bombarding our own, making way for their land forces to strike.

They will take Tunisia by force first, then come to Angola, Tanzania, and Zambia. They have already begun to blockade Angola and Tanzania, however they have not had time to fully blockade us, thus allowing nations to continue to evacuate our young generation, our future.

This also is allowing our allied forces - however small they are - to enter and help prepare for their onslaught. Which brings me to a major point of this speech.

Our allies. Or our so-called allies, which I do hope our official government has decided to cancel. So few of our allies have come to our side. Jarridia was expected. As well Xeraph. But some others, such as Yallak,
Finlan, and The Lone Alliance - the last being an ally we have had no contact with since my grandfathers time - have come to our aid, pledging military support of varying degrees. Also, Dismiscus, a young nation in which had have had absolutely no prior contact with, nor have we heard of before, has rallying to our side, bravely standing up with us and a few select allies against some of the top military powers today!

It is with great pride that I know we have some of the greatest allies ever. These few brave nations stand here when no others would, in our darkest days.

The majority of our so-called 'allies' have completely turned their backs on us, ignoring our plees for help. Still others will only aid us in evacuation of our younger generation. And while that is nice, these allies - many of which we have worked with and shed our own tears and blood with in their wars - will not aid us militarily in our greatest hours of need. And yet another - The Silver Sky - has completely turned on us, joining the ranks of Quester, Praetoria, Doomingsland, Jagada, and others in their quest for our blood and our land!

So, while we do have a few allies, it is almost completely on each and every one of our backs to carry this nation with great pride to victory against these oppressors who wish only to have our land, rape our woman, and kill or enslave anyone who stands in their way! They wish to wipe us off the face on the earth forever!

I say WE SHALL NOT HAVE THAT! I say WE SHALL FIGHT BACK! We will win this! But in order for us to be victorious, we MUST stand united!

The crowd went wild, thousands upon thousands cheering, jumping, yelling. Some chanted "Hiro! Hiro! Hiro!", others chanted "ViZion! Unite! ViZion! Unite!" and others just screamed and celebrated and cheered.

After a couple minutes, Hiro calmed the crowd quite rapidly with the lift of his right hand into the air. It took less than a minute for a deep quiet to cover the crowd.

"This, my friends, is for the international community. This is addressing those who are against us, those with us, those who are offering only evacuation aid, and those who have yet to join in at all. This is to the governments, the military's, and the citizens of this world.

First, I wish to address those who wish to harm us, those who wish to fight us, invade our land, kill or enslave our people, and take whatever they can. I ask those more sensible nations with an open mind and open heart to cease your actions and hand over our land to us. Allow us to live our lifes in peace, under our own rule, not under a foreign master - that is, if we still live.

I also demand, for those of you set on taking all that you can from us, including our land, woman, and lives, to cease and decease! You do not know what you will be facing should you step foot on our land again! But should you, you will fully understand. And that, I promise you, is not a good think for you.

I also wish to address those so-called allies who are refusing to aid us in fighting off our enemies. We have fought side-by-side, spilling our own blood and shedding our own tears with your people in fighting your wars, aiding you when you call upon us, when you are in need. But you, you as claimed allies of ours, will not help us in saving our land and people in our darkest hours when we are coming under attack from foreign powers wishing nothing more than the total destruction of ViZion, and killing or enslaving anyone of our people of ANY age should they resist their takeover.

I, for one, pitty you. I also call upon our ViZionarian government to cancel, to void, any standing alliances we have with any nation who refuses to rally to save our nation. While I realize this means we will have few allies, it also means we cut unwanted and unneeded leaches upon our nation, who throw our name around whenever they're in trouble, and should they be attacked, expect us to dig them out of their hole when they wont aid us when we need it most!

And to you, The Silver Sky! You were once regarded as one of our greatest allies. Yet you come, entering this war when we call upon you for help, and instead stab us, our people, our nation, in the back by pledging your aid to those who wish to destroy us, take us over, and kill our people! How dare you! I pray that God have mercy on your souls, because we certainly shall NEVER have mercy upon your nation. We shall NEVER forgive and forget your ignorance and your backhanded ways. Turning on us and aiding the enemy in an attempt to kill us off. This shall never be let go.

Lasrly, I also call upon the international community, to the governments, military's, and citizens of the nations who have yet to become involved in this war. Help us! In our darkest hours, in our worse days, we need help in fighting off the aggressors. We, as citizens of ViZion, appeal to you, citizens and nations of the international community, to aid us. It is not often that ViZion - once the glowing symbol of peace, prosperity, and champions of civil rights and humanitarianism - asks for help.

However, this is a rare thing to see indeed. Our nation - who has fought to save those nations who are oppressed, those nations who come under the threat of invasion and aggressive nations - is now the one who needs the help. We, ViZionarians, of all ages, beliefs, and ideals, call upon you to help us! Help us before it is to late!

We hope our pleas have been heard and will be answered. Thank you."

Mirkana

22-01-2007, 23:12

The news anchor, Kary Tarkhin, sat at the desk in her Air Force uniform. She looked very sad.
"Today is a sad day for all of Mirkana, following the death of General Ken Remmol last night from heart faliure. General Remmol, as is well known, took power in a stunning military coup in 1979, and effectively created the Mirkana we know today. Ambassador-General Yuri Jackson made the following statement:
The scene shifts to the press room at Mt. Stronghold. General Jackson stands at the podium.
"Last night, General Remmol passed away. We kept his illness a secret so that nobody would attempt to take advantage of any instability. In his final days, he made clear to us his intentions for the transitional period. However, his actual will was stored on his computer, protected by several layers of encryption. He stated that only after his death, he would authorize our codebreaking teams to decrypt it. This was accomplished ten minutes ago. I have been asked to read out Remmol's will."
Jackson pulls out a piece of paper. He begins to read, slowly.
"'To the people of Mirkana:
If you are hearing this, then I have passed away. I will not describe my intended funeral proceedings, as any Mirkanan should be able to figure out what those would be. Instead, I will tell you how this country should proceed, now that I am dead.
As many of you have suspected, I am sterile. This was a result of an unfortunate injury during my training at the Military Academy, and is also the reason I never served in the combat arms. Consequently, I have no children to leave my possessions, let alone the rulership of this country.
Yet I do. You, the people of Mirkana, are my children. I forged a new society, and you are the result. And few people have children so smart, so determined, so practical, so brave, so loyal, and so strong, as I do. So, I decided that it is to you that I leave my country.
From this day on, Mirkana is a democracy of sorts. The Commander-In-Chief shall be an elected position with a ten-year term. The requirements are that one is a Mirkanan citizen, has served in the military for ten years, and has at least reached the rank of Captain in his or her branch of service, in order to ensure that he or she is a capable leader. The minimum voting age shall be eighteen. Any changes to this law shall require a referendum of the people. Should a Commander-In-Chief seek to violate these rules, a military coup would be in order.
I wish you fortune in the days after my death."
General Jackson folded the paper. He did not say another word.

Josh Burnt from VNB, now stone-faced and white-haired, sat behind the desk, ready to report.

Hello! I am Josh Burnt from ViZion News Broadcast. I am proud to be bringing you news straight from the presses in ViZion right to your screen!

Today in the invasion of ViZion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505452), the majority of the ViZionarian naval forces that remained surrounding Tunisia has been destroyed my a massive torpedo strike. While there are scattered reports of some ships that managed to survive the strike, they are very few and far between. And with the enclosing hostile Doomini naval forces, it looks like they will not last long.

In another bid to gather some aid from the international community, President Kilo, who has joined the troops, sent out another request begging for international aid. And while there have been a few nations to offer some monitary aid and a few thousand troops, among other various supplies, it is clear the international community at large has turned its back upon ViZion in our darkest hours of need. So, the question remains, will there be enough aid soon enough to help save ViZion from a complete take-over of hostile, imperialistic nations.

While ViZionarians in much of ViZion are attempting to organize, it is clear that the hostile imperialist nations easily have them outgunned in technology and weapon. And Tunisia is quickly loosing its defense, meaning Tunisia, within days, could be under control of hostile nations, allowing them to effectively cut the Mediterranean Sea in half, as they already control ViZion's Italia claims. Should this happen, any forces friendly with ViZion, or who are not in accordance with the CAD and others, may be prevented from use of this major blood vessel of trade and war.

I will be sure to keep you updated. Until next time, have a good night.

Jerry Winston, who arrived from Jarridia after he evacuated from ViZion days ago, was set to make his first appearance to highlight one of the rare good notes coming from ViZion in the past several years.

I am here to represent ViZion News Broadcast, Josh Burnt's new co-anchor.

For the firs time in a few years, I would like to talk about a good story coming from ViZion. That is, the announcement of Ando-Trephin Motor's first all-new vehicles since before the revolt began in ViZion. The company, which moved his headquarters to Jarridia, will be unvieling two new models.

The first, believed to be called the Ando-Trephin Fleetwood, is an ultra-luxurious four seater sedan powered by an all-new 8 liter 16 cylinder engine. Many are speculating this vehicle will put out 800-900 horsepower and nearly the same amount of torque. Yes, that's right, over 100 horsepower per liter and 1 horsepower per pound-foot of torque. Once it is unveiled, we shall see just how impressive it is.

The second in a V12-powered supercar, expected to compete with the worlds finest sports cars from around the world. And it is clear its roots are from ViZion's Italian claims from what we have been told by insiders. How impressive will THIS car be? We shall see.

This is exciting news from a nation that has not put out happy news in years. Let's just hope we will begin to hear more and more good news from this devistated nation.

And I will leave you with that.

The Official News Source of the Empire of Hamilay
Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori

"Good afternoon. This is Catherine Townshend, here with further public service announcements to the citizens of the Hamilayan Empire. The conflict with traitorous elements of the previous government is now into its second week. With the help of our allies, the brave soldiers of the Imperial Guard have stopped the traitors' advance on the Aster, despite coming under heavy attack from the air. Three divisions of enemy combatants have been destroyed, with over two thousand prisoners so far.

To the west, the Shakal and Manth navies have utterly destroyed the weak and disorganised remnants of the Republic's navy, and Shakal marines are expected to take Bastion in a few days, although this station has not received official data as to when.

In Sayenna, violent terrorist elements desiring the destruction of Imperial law gathered outside the Imperial Palace. Riot police were dispatched to contain them, and were attacked with military-grade weapons, as you can see from this footage. Warning, these images may offend sensitive viewers. The Imperial Palace Guard clearly has no choice but to retaliate in full, which they do, dispersing the crowd. At this time the military and police are moving through the city, and have mostly restored order and security. We have reports of forty police and troops killed in the line of duty. No word on the casualties the rioters have taken.

That's all the news on current developments in the Patriotic War. We will return to our regular broadcast schedule, due to the ever-increasing security of the nation, which will commence next Monday at five o'clock in the afternoon with business and finance news. As this broadcast is being shown live on the international circuit, we'll finish with yesterday's broadcast from our Emperor. All rise for His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Hamilay, Defender of Justice, Bringer of Truth. Goodnight."

[camera switches to different studio]

"People of Hamilay and of the world! I am the ruler of the newly reestablished Hamilayan Empire, Emperor William VI. I am a direct descendant, the great-great grandson in fact, of the last Emperor Frederick, overthrown in 1880. As such, this makes me the rightful ruler of Hamilay. My predecessor as leader has broadcast his message to the world, and it is only fair to do the same. The President has told the people to resist. Resist what? Resist the dawn of a new age for Hamilay? They claim we come to destroy freedom. This is a lie. I can promise to you right now that no current freedoms that do not threaten the security of the Empire will be curbed. Hamilay must remain a free nation if it is to maintain its international standing. We are simply replacing a weak and corrupt government with a strong one! The Empire is an instrument of the people's will. I call on all supporters of the old regime to stand down and respect a great nation's right to take its place. I extend my thanks to all who have aided the soldiers of the Empire in their crusade. Thank you."

From the Ri-anese News networks:

Attention all those watching, today is a special day, due to our important announcement.

Today The Ri-an Government decreed that all Networks be combined into one, and expanded! We now replay for you the special announcement.

*On the Moniters, Lady Ri-an appears, standing behind a podium*

My Children, I come to you today, with the announcing of the complete combination of all Ri-an networks into one Extranational network.

For too long, there has been chaos and confusion, both between nations, and within our own. With a lack of clearly defined international Communications standerds, we find that there is a need for something new.

After many years of Research, The Departments of Communication, Internal and External came forth with a new standerd. A new method of Communication, easily adaptable by any previous method of Communication.

This new form of Communications will be known as The Inter-Galactic Trans-dimensional Communuications Network, or, The IGTDCN for short. It shall span al Galaxies, and all Dimensions, Realities, and Universes without exception. It shall take the form of a specially designed Satellite that will orbit each world integrated into the IGTDCN. Ships will have a specially designed Communications array.

This new form of Communication shall be availible to any and all Governments free of Charge, with the only catch being, they MUST maintain the IGTDCN in their own area. It can broadcast to any Communications device, going all the way back to Radios and cell phones.

This is an exciting new era in Communications!

*The Screens go blank everywhere the news broadcast is being seen*

You are now Being Integrated into The Inter-Galactic Trans-Dimensional Communications Network, Please Stand By...

The words were Gold, and each letter was rotating in place.

Then the screens snapped back to the newsbroadcast.

"This is the Ri-anese, oops, I mean this is IGTDCN Central signing off."

Joshua Winston had no sooner arrived from the VNB headquarters in ViZion when he was notified of breaking news coming out of ViZion. He would not even have time to unpack, hurrying to the desk to announcing the breaking news in the suite he arrived in.

Hello, this is Joshua Winston from ViZion News Broadcast in ViZion. I have some breaking news for you coming out of ViZion for you!

ViZion has announced it is detailing ALL British Londinium citizens within its borders (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=532825) - rather they're in ViZion for vacation or work - in reaction to the recent actions by British Londinium, such as the litteral blending of a woman. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12873160&postcount=22) ViZion also announced it is mobilizing a small force of its Armed Forces. However, it is being rumoured that upwards of the entire military force is being mobilized in preparation for a war against British Londinium. There is also word out of Vitalita that allies of ViZion are also preparing to do the same.

I will keep you updated!

"Today in Epsom, we are having a high of 36°, wind will be low and it will certainly be hot. Stay inside and keep cool, if you have any health conditions, please refrain from activity outside. If you go outside, keep yourself hydrated. Your five-day forecast will be rather warm, with highs in the mid thirties for most of the week. However, do not be alarmed, as we are going to have rain and highs in the low twenties. Now is Connie with the sports."

"Hello, Balkan City! I'm Isis Romero, and this is the seven o' clock news.

Our top story tonight regards Asgarnieu's regional conflicts. Today, a submersible aircraft carrier armed with nuclear weapons fired nuclear missiles upon another nation in the region, and damage reports are still being processed. This marks the third time that Asgarnieu has utilized nuclear armaments in combat.

In other news, Grand Congressman Yul Frampton was sentenced on charges of child molestation and sexual assault today. He was given the death sentence for Level 1 Underage Sexual Assault and will be executed at dawn on the twentyth of July.

Now we turn to Royal Anderson for the weather."

"Thanks, Isis. Balkan City's forecast for the next two days looks wet as a storm system continues to build up over the Schayne Plains to the east of Balkan City. Expect up to two inches of the wet stuff tonight, and scattered thunderstorms during the early morning. Afternoon showers are likely with isolated thunderstorms expected. Now we go to Allen Borders for the sports news."

"Indeed, thank's, Royal. Today, the BC Tigers defeated the Los Santos Rimmers in Semi-final basketball 134-115. Also, the BC Gray Lions defeated the Stafford Pickers in football 35-21. The BC Centrals fell to the Candle Marsh Eagles 2-3 in soccer tonight. More at midnight. Back to you Isis..."

Joshua Winston say at the desk. The young man of 25 was well-liked. He always had a very disarming smile, his dark brown hair and blue eyes matching his dark, tanned skin well. Tall and well-built, he was perfect for a fresh, young face to present news from the ViZion News Broadcast Corporation to the world.

Hello, this is Joshua Winston from ViZion News Broadcast in ViZion. I would like to update you on the situation with Cazelia and British Londinium.

The ViZionarian government has stated to us that, indeed, the ViZionarian military has gone on high alert. They also had informed us that they are mobilizing "...well over 50%..." of the ViZionarian Armed Forces. However, they refused to comment further on that.

ViZion has also declared Cazelia an International Crisis Zone (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=532886), committing 100,000 peace keepers and $800 billion USD to the reconstruction efforts. They are also taking charge of this effort (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=532886), and have made it clear that they plan to get Cazelia under its own control and back on track as soon as possible, telling other nations that, should Cazelia still demand, all nations are to remove themselves from Cazelian land by January 2035 - that is, only if Cazelia has a stable government in place.

ViZion is also preparing to send out billions of dollars worth of supplies to begin reconstruction, the International Medical Foundation has left ViZion to aid Cazelians in need to medical attention, and nearly 2 million ViZionarians have volunteered to help rebuild the small nation.

I will keep you updated as I know more. Thank you. Joshua Winston, signing out.

Imperial Holovision Nightly News

Hello, this is Marcus Wilcox and I'll like to thank you for joining us tonight on Imperial Holovision.

Now onto our first story. Today, in a overwhelming decision, The Imperial Senate voted to send over $900 billion in funding to Joint-Naval Base project between Jarridia, ViZion and Malatose. In response to the suprising announcement, Grand Vizier Sate Thomas, President and Chair of the Imperial Senate, had this to say,

**Video Feed Begins**

"I applaud the Imperial Senate on their recent decision. It show nothing but intelligence and tenacity for the most part."

**Video Feed Ends**

Immediantly after the decision, Imperial Privy Counsellor of Public Relations and Foreign Affaris, Ars Dagnor, appointed Ardus Kain as Grand Moff of Imperial Construction, overseeing all construction of the Malatosian half of the Complex. After construction was completed, he'll serve as overall Commander of all Imperial Forces stationed there.

Now, onto you Sandra.

**Camera angle changes**

Thank you Marcus.

In other news, The Imperial Security Bureau scored a huge success against against a possible terror plot. ISB Agents, numbering one-hundred in all, raided a warehouse, located in a the major industrial area of the city. ISB Central Commander, Wolfe Yovane, reported that over three hundred boxes of ammunition were seized, and one hundred people arrested.

The location where they are being held are currently, unknown.

Also, in another story, Emperor Galius Falucia attended the opening ceremonies of the newly construction Imperial Center Museum of History and Arts. Although, we were unable to interview the Emperor, due to high security, His majesty has promised us a interview at a later date.

**Camera Angle changes**

Thank you for that Sandra.

The British Londinium has announced plans to withdraw from Cazelia. This news comes after intense foreign pressure from the various world powers, including Malatose. We interviewed, Executor Williane Dawn on this matter.

**Video Feed Begins**

I believe The British Londinium has done the right thing, by withdrawing from Cazelia. Finally, the people of Cazelia will be able to live their lives free, without the oppressive and somewhat saddistic presence of BL among them. However, one must also look to the future, and with British Londinium leaving the nation suddenly, it'll most likely cause a sudden "gap" so to speak. Allowing possible anarchy and rebellion to spring up.

Reporter: What are your plans to stop the anarchy or rebellion from springing up before it stars.

Well, I have already authorized the mobilization of the 12th and 15th Imperial Armies, and if need be, they will be sent as peacekeeping forces. Also, I have ordered the Imperial Airforce and Navy to mobilize the required resources in order to deal with the situation.

Reporter: Thank you for your time.

**News Feed Ends*

Well, that just about wraps it up. I'll like to thank you for tuning into Imperial Holovision, your only source for reliable news concerning your Empire.

Well, we've got some exciting news! Five years ago, President Tanner Kilo announced ViZion would be 90% reliant on alternative fuels (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=534048) in addition to being 100% self sufficient in fueling needs.

Today, President Kilo has announced that that goal has been reached with ease! ViZion is now one of the cleanest and greenest nations the world over. Exciting news indeed!

Also, soon the ViZionarian elections (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=545541) will be held. We are just two months out! It appears Hiro “Chiefy the IX” Ando, IX has the lead in popular vote. It'll only be a matter of time though.

Niraamaya Daily Report

Today, a small rebellion was formed in the remote east of the country.

Calling itself the "Asammohah Liberation Army", it bears an eerie resemblance to the Niraamaya Liberation Army, the rebellion which started in the west of the old country in Niraamaya Pradesh and eventually in just 4 years took over the entire country.

The President has released a statement today that the military was going to launch 70 bombers from Badass Mofo Air Force Base and drop enough sleeping gas on the province to "irradiate" it to the point that anything coming into the area without protection would fall asleep, then send in 1000 soldiers to clean the area up by pulling the sleeping rebels into captivity. Any rebel that is not found sleeping and does not surrender will be shot with a Taser dart.

Annoying, news network like music plays. the camera, starting from a long shot zooms in on a reporter sitting behind a desk, the music stops and the reporter begins to speak
"Hello and welcome, your watching F-Triple-N with Rob Lloyd It's just after half past 12 and these are the headlines if you just joined us..."
with each headline the screen changes to show a small video clip appropriate for the story
"The minister of Education, Aaron Garcia, Has resigned today without giving a reason. A father had been jailed for life for murdering his four year old daughter and stabbing his 16 year old son as an act of revenge against his wife who had left him. Tax rates have gone down by almost 10% making them the lowest they've been in several years. A man and woman were airlifted to hospital after the car they were in plunged 20 meters off a cliff they were both seriously injured. A mining accident near City Majovul left 4 dead, however 3 were rescued and 5 managed to escape on their own, investigations are being held."
The picture changes back to the reporter
"Your watching F-Triple-N, still to come sports coverage, but first, here's Sophie Morton with the weather"
The picture skips to a woman standing in front of a map of Fictions
"thank you Rob, yes, we can be expecting sunny weather today with temperatures reaching 26 C, as you can see it will remain like this for the rest of the week, but will drop to about 20 C on friday..."
