"You're on White Light Non-Stop News, with Murdoc Niccals and Stuart Tusspot."

"Welcome, I'm Murdoc," the anchorman said,

"and I'm Stuart," said his coworker.

"Today's top story-the LA Ice Military has developed a nuclear weapon, dropping the Combatech Military Robotics stock price by 25%, and reducing its overall foreign relations."

"It is something that is bound to happen, with a nation of our size, with our main industry of uranium mining."

However, when the government announced that it had built such a weapon, most of the uranium workers went on strike, making the country's biggest industry pizza delivery.

"We assure the general public that we do not plan to use the weapon, unless we are at a threat, upon which we will assess the threat and take appropriate actions."

However, not only did the government's PR suffer, LA Ice's leading export business, Combatech Military Robotics, which is 25% government-owned, lost about a quarter of its stock value.

"Combatech will never use nuclear weapons in its robotic vehicles," the CEO of the company said. However, the company recently told in a press conference that it planned to "expand into other areas of military products,", which explains a lot.

"Thanks for that report. We'd like to hear your opinions on this topic, so feel free to call us on the number shown on the screen, where you will be prompted through the process of giving your views."

OOC: Yes, another nation develops n00ks. I tried to make it as un-noobish as possible. And, I shamelessly put Combatech in there. Deal with it. Please make your views known.
