John Cora looked at his ministers around the table and sighed. The new nation of United Canadia after receiving no international trade from anyone for its two months history was now being plagued by rampant crime. All crimes were way up around the country.

John Cora said" We need a state of emergency declared to get the army out before someone looses their life in this outbreak of crime. We need a curfew from midnight to 8 a.m. anddrastic arrest moves after 4 a.m."

His ministers nodded.

In Toronta three armed men walked into the bank. The leader pointed his pistol at a bank security guard firing twice striking the young security guard in the stomach. Several screams could be heard from scared bankers as the two other men went to the nearest tellers and ordered them to fill the bags. As the did so the one who fired the shots spotted the bank manager moving in his office and fired several shots from his pistol striking the man in the shoulder. The man clutching his shoulder was able to hit 9 1 1 and told them the situation. However, as police officers arrived the three armed men had disappeared and the two injuried men were ferried to ambulances and taken to hospitals.

Campton, Ontario, United Canadia:

Two men walked with a bag of marijuna in their brown bag. They were undercover police officers who were dropping off dope to a gang area in the town of 24,000. They dropped the bag on a bench when four armed men opened fire with pistols. The two men pulled their issued pistols and they returned fire. However one of the police officers was struck in the chest and in the arm and collapsed. The second police officer fired and shot one of the four gunmen in the left leg near the thigh. The second police officer then had a bullet graze his head and another two shots hit him in the midsection.

By the time ambulances and crouds arrived, the injured gangmember had left with the drugs and one police officer was already dead and another wounded.

National violence: (1 dead 5 wounded, 1 police officer killed so far)

Government troops numbering around about 400 positioned themselves around the capital. About a dozen checkpoints were set up outside the capital and another half-dozen were set up in the city.

Sgt Martiz and his patrol noticed four men and women who seemed to be suspicious. As they approached the four people they took off and the eight soldiers chased after the four men and women and soon cornered them and arrested them and found illegal drugs and a hand gun on their persons.

Elsewhere in the country, another 2,000 soldiers were deployed to numerous towns and cities.

In Charlia Quebec, the body of an elderly lady was found by a soldier patrol as her door had been left ajar. And with a population of 700 people it hadn't been surprising to see the door open but on closer inspection they found the elderly lady with a knife in her neck. They notified the police department and the police arrived to begin investigation.

(Violence has left 2 people dead, 5 wounded and 4 detained by authorities)

When the Emperor of the Secular Empire of Maraque heard the news of the masive crime wave within United Canadia, he felt it was his duty as a humanitarian and the ruler of a humanitarian nation to assist in this horrific time in United Canadia history.

Therefore, he created the United Canadia Anti-Crime Bill which would be before the Imperial Senate the following morning. The bill includes $500 billion in monetary aide, along with a force of 4,000 Imperial Guard troops that would be deployed within United Canadia.

Currently the Emperor can however grant asylum for any United Canadia citizen who deems the area too dangerous to live in. The Empire will gladly take in as much as 25,000 United Canadia citizens who wish to escape until crime is under control.

***NEWS ALERT***
UC SITUATION WORSENS...UATC ISSUES EMERGENCY ALERT

The United Anti-Terror Coalition, after meeting covertly via telegram, has issued a Code 3 emergency alert. A Code 3 alert allows for the UATC to use money and law enforcement, and approves military action if it is deemed necessary, to resolve a situation. The UATC member nations, combined, have reserved a total of $100 billion for fighting the crime wave in United Canadia. This amount comes after Eppstonia, UN Delegate for UATC, approved $12 billion of it's own money for UC. UATC member nations will be meeting again tonight, covertly, to discuss the situation.

The UATC announced this morning that $200 Billion would be sent to United Canadia immediately. President Callaway of Eppstonia addressed the UATC moments ago.

"The recent crime wave in United Canadia has forced the government to declare a state of emergency. We must take whatever action is necessary to cull this crime wave, and avoid an all out civil war. The UATC will work in full cooperation with our neighbors who are offering assistance for this crisis, and they, as well as Canadia have our full support."

In Toronta police and military units combed the streets.

In Quebec, in a city of 115,000 people, a government patrol was attacked in a neighborhood by about 20 gunmen. Machine gun fire pinged off the troop carriers as one soldier fell to the ground with a bullet in his midsection. The soldiers returned fire and the battle lasted for about an hour. The fighting killed 3 gangmembers, 1 soldier and one civilian and 6 gangmembers were detained.

Elsewhere across the country two civilians were reportedly killed in violence and another 10 people wounded and 4 gangsters detained.

(National Violence: 11 dead (including 1 police officer and 1 soldier) 30 wounded, 14 gangsters detained)

We are distraught over gangmembers who don't respect United Canadia law. We believe that these gangsters should be brought to justice but feel that civilians shouldn't be caught up in any action.

We are willing to send 50 (U.N) peacekeepers to provide protection to United Canadia citizens. They will be under orders not to fire unless fired upon or in order to protect United Canadia civilians.

This was a three day spree of violence that had gone in the capital of Toronta and elsewhere in the country of United Canadia. And since no assembly for politics had been built yet and since this was a federation parts of the maritimes, and Quebec as well as in Ontario itself were deciding to break away from this newly independent nation because of the gang violence that had claimed the lives of 11 people. So far at the moment these voices were extremely small.

Orangeville Ontario, United Canadia:

Twenty soldiers from the army had their rifles raised as the two cars in front of them had slowly pulled to the side. The army had just received reports that four young women had rushed a car dealership and took the keys to two expensive trucks and had fled, nearly running over several pedestrians in the process.

The soldiers barked commands at the four women and after several minutes the four women appeared from the two vehicles with their arms raised and they were quickly detained.

------------

Toronta, United Canadia:

Three men lit a bottle of vodka and tossed it into the second story window of a house. Flames began to appear and screams were heard from inside. The three men ran down the street and tossed three more burning vodka bottles into three more open windows of houses before disappearing. Smoke and flames lit up the sky as firefighters and paramedics arrived on scene as people rushed from their homes. One women had bad burns on her arms, and was complaining that she hadn't seen her five year old daughter who was sleeping in the next room. Elsewhere as the people were being accounted for an elderly 80 year old man was reported missing from one of the burning houses. Sadly, the elderly man was found badly burned almost beyond recognition. The little girl was found to what apparently to be sleeping in her bedroom but as firefighters picked her up they were sad to see that she was gone as well. In total, 2 people were killed in the arson and another 5 people were injured and treated.

Three day crime way (13 dead, 35 wounded, and 20 criminals arrested or detained)

We thank the nation of Akhalla for its support as well.

The Secular Empire of Maraque extends its offer to take in 25,000 United Canadia citizens and would like to take in an additional 100,000, if they so wish to do so, we're also deploying an additional 8,000 Imperial Guard.

Our peacekeepers are already boarding transport planes as we speak. Is there an international airport or military airfield in your country?

In the capital of United Canadia several families numbering about 25 people took up the offer of the Maraque nation and about another 100 people from the countryside took up the offer.

to Upper Weston:

Yes in Toronta.

The plane carrying 50 Akhalla, peacekeepers arrived at the Toronta airport. They were all in blue berets and they were led into their first peacekeeping mission by General Nak Sas. They would deploy across the capital in several checkpoints and protect civilians from attack.

After watching an episode on United Canada's plight on CNN, the PROHT Ministry of Foriegn Affairs decided to relieve their troubles.

The five days of violence had claimed another victim in Toronta bringing the death toll up to fourteen. Upper Weston peacekeepers were escorted to wherever they wanted to go by a patrol of 50 police officers.

Ventir crouches in a building waiting for his mark to pass the alley. The women slowly walks by and he jumps out, stabbing her once in the back and grabbing her purse before disappearing. He looks over his shoulder and sees her lying on the ground in a pool of blood. He calmly walks away, now several hundred dollars richer and returns to his safe house to watch the local news.

A pair of civil aviation PROHT Air Inc MPP-2 amphibians touched down in Toranta, United Canada. Upon reching a stop men in mmilitary garb started to dissembark from the planes. One of them walks up to the control tower and asks for a taxi to see the president: John Cora; about the recent plight of the new upstarting nation.

The Upper Weston peacekeeping force, headed for an abandoned factory on the edge of town they had chosen as their HQ and base camp.

John Cora sat in his office and waited for the arrival of a Hurtful Thoughts peacekeeper.

In Kingston, Ontario, United Canadia three gunmen were fleeing from a jewllery story as they were chased from police officers. The opened fire with pistols at the advancing policeofficers, striking a pedestrian and the police officers fired back striking one in the leg and another in the back. The third suspect ran away as the surviving gangster was arrested. The pedestrian was treated for minor injuries. Elsewhere in Toronta a civilians was reportedly killed after being mugged and about 10 people were injured in overnight incidents.

(One week death toll: 16, 60 people wounded, and 30 criminals detained)

Akhalla peacekeepers in their blue berets set up a checkpoint, one of four that was set up around the capital. In each they asked the cars that passed if they had any weapons or stuff in them or any weapons. And if the occupants acted suspiciously, they were pulled over and searched.

At checkpoint # 2 a car filled in the back seat of microwaves and other kitchen stuff, with price tags on them, was pulled over with three U. N peacekeepers going around the side while two others talked with the driver and the two occupants.

After a light discussion, and the nervous twitch of one of the passengers the lead U.N peacekeeper asked the driver to step out of the vehicle. He did, and the others followed suit and they were all quickly detained.

A small group of PROHT peacekeepers walked into John Cora's office, while the rest took up armed gard around the planes they arrived in.

A fairly large, slightly somber Captain wlked up to President Cora's desk:

"Hello, my name is Captian Dimitri, these are a few of my associates. We stopped by to make sure both parties agree to the terms and conditions of our peacekeeping operation. PROHT priveately funds these operations, and they generally are never cheap, for some reason wherever a revolt is someone is going to try and invade. Our goal is to discourage that while improving your image and economy, while helping to settle such things as crime. In return, the PROHT government asks for a reletively small fee. We currently have 5 troopships with a full division of marines aboard, they will be here within a week but have been ordered to do nothing until their action has been approved by the nation state of United Canada."

He pulls out a few papers and a pen, then hands them to Mr. Cora.

"Do we have a deal?"

John Cora signed the deal.
