Today in gyrobot a video game made by Rapstar Games has raised the bar of controversy. Parthian's Revenge allows you to play as The Borman Empire, Translyvania and of course the Parthians in an attempt to make the Imperium of Man "look like wussies". The game allows players to commit genocide on anyone, let it be sheep, shooban, and weaker nations who doesnt even stand a chance in hell against you. Bonus rounds include a 3d version of the Atari Classic "Custer's Revenge" and indiscriminate destruction of innocent coastal towns. This game was banned in several cities but is still getting rave reviews. Currently about 2 million have been shipped around the world to almost any nation who wants to unleash their evil inner dictator.

The game and it’s maker have been banned from the shore of the Dominion. We find both to be sick. for Two reason. The first being that the game is plain sick. It is not nice to made money off of the dead.

The next is the Dominion is a free state. We are a total monarchy, ruled by our guardian, Count JWolf. He is the only one that can keep peace within the Dominion and her colonies. And from the time he has be crown, peace has reign within the Dominion.

We hope the head or heads of Rapstar Games are happy that they have made fun of the dead and bad mouthed the Dominion.

Given the Imperial Government does not regulate video games, copies have been flying off the shelves.
Most players have to chosen to play as the Bormann Empire, in light of the tense diplomatic situation.
Tenarius declined to comment.

Because of Nellislandian's deep seeded hatred for the Parthian's the game has not been selling anywhere, making most stores destroy their copies. The
Nellisland government had nothing to say.

Please do not break the sovereignty of other nations. We do not need this is break into a conflict.

Take this as a warning. Any planes of your nation that enter the Dominion airspace, will be warned to leave or face being shot down. This game should have not been made by anybody. As of now, the Count wants to kill the makers for using his likeness in the game. Yes, he had played the game. I have talked him out of killing the makers.

So, no air dropping this game into the Dominion. Because I can't stop all of the Dominionites when they want to kill the makers for making fun of the Dominion, the nation that gave birth to them.

The offical stance of Athiyk Linath on this game is to ban it for prejudice and violence in Linathian stores around.

Meanwhile...

A small giggle came from the room of the crown heiress to the Linathian throne. Behind a black polished oak door with a green tinted-glass doorknob, past the verdant green 4 post bed, just cleaned by some unknown palace servant, sat Princess Irene herself, still clothed in her formal dress, in her presiding favorite color, green. Black hair was slightly mussed from pressing it against the chair. She snickered, looking at the television screen. "Eat this nuke, puny mini-nation!" She cried. It was worth bribing that servant to get her that test copy her mother recieved.

Recent release of an adult-oriented RTS entitled "Parthian's Revenge" has created deep contest within the Anarchy of Elciervos. Personal liberties have allowed the game to fly off of store shelves, mostly due to the controversy surrounding it. The controversy was mostly brought into the limelight by attempts by Elciervos's dictator, Scorpios, to suppress sales of the game. Hot contest was made as the attempts were fought with the justification of the Freedom of Commerce. So far any attempts to halt sales of the game have been unsucessful. Minor rioting has been seen in various urban centers around the country.
