At this hour, Firemanistan has finally succeeded in two of their fields. This morning, their Super-Artillery program was completed as the first prototype "Savior" Gun was completed. This gun measures over 200 ft end to end and is well over 80 ft tall. This gun is used strictly for defence purposes and cannot be produced in large quantities. A grand total of 8 are planned to be built this year and next.

Official Specs:

Length: 202ft
Height: 89ft
Gun Diameter: 72"
Range: 600 miles
Types of Shells: Radio-active/ normal
Reload Time: "Clip" of 11 shells firing at 2 minute intervals, reload time between clips is 2 hours.

The other positive note that comes out of Firemanistan at this hour is the completion of its anti-super tank rockets. These rockets are built to penetrate deep into the hull of tanks and are built to explode once inside the tank. It then acts as a scaled down C4 attempting to destroy much of the insides. sadly, this missile failed to some extents as its blast radius is less than 5 ft.

In other news, riots have broken out in some of the southern states over soda prices. The government refused to comment, but the locals say that they have been ripped off as Firemanistan is a key exporter of Soda and it should not cost so much.

In other news, Arsonests have set fire to many buildings in the capital. 10 million dollars of damage has been caused so far, but the fires continue to burn. At this hour, 124 citizens have been killed while 467 more have been injured. The government has issued a warning to all residents to get out of the city in an orderly and kindly fashion.
