Ubundi welcomes World News Italia into our nation!

OOC: I may request an interview later.

Nation Name* The World Soviet Party
Person being Interviewed* President Alejandro Aszenmil
Occupation* President(?)
Preferred Subject Any

Nation Name* Democratic Elective Monarchy of Maraque
Person being Interviewed* former President Darius Shulze
Occupation* Convicted Terrorist
Brief Bio: Darius Shulze grew up in a middle-class (upper-middle-class in world standards) household in the former capital's downtown section. During his college days, Darius grew a strong fascination with politics, eventually obtaining a degree in Political Science and Foreign Affairs, which led him to run for a seat on the City Council as a member of the Liberal Bloc. He won the seat and then ascended to higher more powerful positions in government going immediately to the House of Representatives, then to the Senate, and then eventually being chosen as Vice President to replace resigning Vice President Cearbhall Menno. When President Dimitris' term was over, Darius Shulze ran for President and won, but was later found to have been working with the Conservative Bloc and was impeached soon after his second term in office, and was later imprisoned for his self-acknowledged leadership of a terrorist group that had been responsible for many attacks around the country.
Preferred Subject: His imprisonment and his role in the domestic terrorist group as leader, anything

Ariddia, home of Public International News Ariddia (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Public_International_News_Ariddia), authorises WNI to broadcast in this nation.

Possible interviewees:


Nation Name: PDSR Ariddia
Person being Interviewed: Ke Sho (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ke_Sho)
Occupation: football player
Brief Bio: Arguably the most famous Indigenous Ariddian (Wymgani) still living a "traditional" lifestyle. He may be an international football star, but he still lives deep in the forest with his Indigenous community, and few modern conveniances. He speaks very little English (he is fluent only in Wymgani), but an interpreter can be provided. You can interview him if you want to talk about Ariddia's Indigenous people. He can even turn up wearing what he usually wears - i.e., nothing, except leaf clothing wrapped round his waist and thighs. He's the paradox of an internationally famous person who's not interested in a "modern" lifestyle. (more information here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ke_Sho))
Preferred Subject: anything relevant

Nation Name: PDSR Ariddia
Person being Interviewed: Mélanie Sandré (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/M%C3%A9lanie_Sandr%C3%A9)
Occupation: swimmer
Brief Bio: The only athlete with a disability, of any nationality, ever to have competed in the Olympic Games (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Summer_Olympiad_I). She'd jump at the opportunity to talk to the international community, and raise the profile of people with disabilities trying to lead "normal" lives.
(more information here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/M%C3%A9lanie_Sandr%C3%A9))
Preferred Subject: anything relevant

SHAZBOTDOM NEWS NETWORK OFFICIAL MESSAGE
If you put together a 1 hour show, we will pick a timeslot where you can broadcast on our station. Although cause of Station Regulations, we cannot allow you any more time than that. The Government also cannot allow an outside news source it's own station at this time.

OOC: I presume my interview will start soon?

Yes- as soon as I sort out SYAE and my continent.

*waits patiently... stabs a pig*

fine, go ahead, broadcast in Swilatia. What do we care anyway.

If you can give a reason as to why you should be added to the Terra Exitium Satellite Network, I'll let you broadcast.

OOC:
Nuevo Italia,
Currently your a pending member of the GASN.

And the GASN Charter says nothing about limiting another member from having Free Media in your nation. So if he wishes to limit and/or not have your Media Company/TV Station/what not in his nation, he is free to do so without breaking the rules as stated in the GASN Charter.

Plus, you never responded to my post.

World News Italia will be broadcast 24/7 on Channel 15 of The U.S.S. of Corbournne.

Nation Name: The United Socialist States of Corbournne
Person Name: Arthur Ian Wexingfield
Occupation: President
Brief Bio: Since elected, "his excellency" has made social reforms. (Can't think of anything else.)
Preferred Subject: National Politics

OOC: Since Ke Sho's interview is coming up fairly soon, would you prefer him to be wearing his usual clothing (i.e., nothing, except leaf clothing around the waist and thighs), or "Western" clothing? It would depend on what's seen as acceptable (and also on the climate). By default, he would simply wear what he's used to.

Also, will the interview be in English? Sho's grasp of English is fairly basic; the only language he's fluent in is Wymgani. He'll be accompanied by an interpreter if necessary.

All right. I'm assuming WNI has no Wymgani interpreters, so Ke Sho will be accompanied by an interpreter.

Edit: This is a reply to the post below. Damn time warp... Also, I take it he can show up in his usual clothing, then?

It's in english- in non-english areas it's relayed to other languages.

Greetings!

The Kingdom of Brutland and Norden gives World News Italia the permission to expand into the country. At least 80% of the broadcasts have to be in our national language (Nord-Brutlandese), though the government's Nord-Brutlandese Dubbing Service can help and dub it for you. If we hear a favorable reply, you will be assigned to a broadcasting frequency of 480 MHz UHF (Channel 17).

Thank you very much.
