Now, more than ever
Researchers in Polockistan's Ministry of Development have stumbled upon new (at least to Polockistan) nanotechnology which enables them to create things seemingly straight from a science fiction story. Nanobots, as the Ministry called them, are capable of reproducing themselves and serve a variety of interesting purposes.
The Minister of Development (Devmin) Arthur Gurtz commented on the mysterious machine, saying, "This discovery opens the door to a variety of interesting propositions for Polockistan. Other than the obvious military purposes, Nanotechnology could be used in health care, mining, manufacturing, as well as many other untapped fields. Not only are these Nanobots effective, but they are cheaper and self-replecating, as well as able to work longer hours."
Minister of Labor (Labmin) Frank Montgomery had things to say on the Nanotechnology as well, arguing, "These machines can not think for themselves, and, er, thus could never perform as well as actual humans. To suggest that these robots could take the place of humans is, er, like suggesting that a housecat could take the place of a tiger in a show. While the cat could undoubtedly perform the same tricks, it would not be as, er, effective."
The Ministry of Development declined to give out specifics as to the nature of the creation of the Nanobots, nor did they distribute schematics to the Nanobots designs, undoubtedly for fear of illegal reproduction.
