New National Security Measure

http://www.dotars.gov.au/images/transport/_DSF0054.jpg
A security check is now required for all people entering TWSP

Surprising, bold move from the goverment. DNA sample required

Today, in a move that certainly surprised many, the goverment announced new security measures to be instituted "as soon as possible" on every international airport in The World Soviet Party.

On a speech delivered today by the president himself, the law was explained to the populace, both national and foreign, which states that "Any person coming into The World Soviet Party, both by sea, land or air, must hand a DNA sample to the authorities found in the area, who wil lbe ready to accept it, or help you obtain if necessary. This will help law enforcement agencies in the area resolve crimes which were, until now, sometimes impossible since the criminals had either left the country or unidentifiable due to being foreigners."

Already, special offices have been built all over the nation's airports, borders and ports, ready to collect the samples. There have been no complaints so far, as this complements the law passed last month, which required all and any soviet citizens to hand in a DNA sample for a national database.

Some civil right groups have complained that this undermines the people's right to privacy, but they have been dismissed by the authorities which claims "If they have nothing to hide, then they need not fear".

All in all, the population seems to support this measure, and polls show more than 80% thinks this will help make TWSP safer, specially against terrorist attacks.

There have been no other comments from either national, or foreign officials.

The New Prussian Empire Goes to War!

http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/2448/sinttulo1io8.png
TPF'ian Mechanized Infantry moves to the front

The Corporate Alliance invades New Prussian Territory

Another war started today in our little planet Earth as the mercenary hordes of Griffincrest Corporation started an all-out bombardment of the tiny nation of Grosse Reich.

It all began as another day on the job for the Reich's armed forces, but events would show it was nowhere near it as thousands of missiles and artillery shells rained on it's coasts, clearing the way for what seems like a huge invasion force.

Not all is lost however, as the NPE nations were quick to respond, only minutes after the attack started, already several fleets belonging to nations such as ThePeoplesFreedom and Kampfers moved in to take the battle to the CA's navy.

In fact, a naval battle is already underway, ships firing at each other, planes strafing, dodging and evading missiles and firing their own with the intent of sinking the enemy OPFOR. It's not clear who will come out as a victor, but one thing's certain, however gets control of the seas, will have a sure advantage over their adversaries.

Meanwhile, back at home, across the border, sits the sleeping giant, Wanderjar, a perfect target for the Corporate forces, why havent they attacked yet? nobody knows, and we certainly dont want to find out anytime soon. Goverment sources claim something big is brewing up in our Eastern neighbor.

The Soviet Goverment has already issued an order to fortify the border and coastal defenses in case of an attempted invasion by the CA forces, and reserves are being called to handle the small conflict in Trivalvia, as to permit the more experienced troops to go back and prepare TWSP for war.

Although this News Network has tried, we have been unable to obtain any official comments from the Prussian goverments.

Transcript from the Interview with Senator Davidson (TPF)

George Charmichael: Hello and welcome to a new edition of "News of Today", this your host, George Charmichael speaking from an undisclosed location in The Holy Reich of The PeoplesFreedom.

Today, we are interviewing Senator Davidson, a member of TPF'ian Armed Forces Commitee which is currently overseeing the CA-NPE conflict.

Welcome senator, it's a pleasure to meet you, would you like to take a seat?"

Senator Davidson: "Thank you for having me here, George."

G.C: "So, tell me Senator, could you please explain to our audience what has been going with the NPE lately?

It's a known fact that many people around the globe still think the New Prussian Empire is a fascist, if not nazi, alliance, would you like to clear their minds and doubts?"

S.D: "Well as your audience no doubt knows, we are currently fighting The Corporate Alliance. They prefer to get their resources through means of war rather than purchasing parity. This alone should prove that we are not Nazi's per se, as they would no doubt side with them. Additionally, we have no race agenda and the vast majority of NPE members are democracies and have good human rights records."

G.C: "I'm sure many people will find that statement enlighting, but let's cut to the chase, shall we Senator?

Many people are wondering what's the back-story behind this war, the majority knows about the actions of Wanderjar against the Corporates, but they are baffled as to why the CA would strike The PeoplesFreedom, a perfectly capitalist nation, or the rest of the NPE for that matter."

S.D: "Well that's pretty simple. We are in Wanderjar's alliance and thus they want to attack his allies."

G.C: "Simple enough indeed.

Another questions, a question many people are pondering about, is why hasn't Wanderjar, the obvious target of this whole war, intervened yet.

Would you happen to know the answer to this problem?"

S.D: "From what I understand, without giving away sensitive information, is that they are in the process of mobilizing. Also, their homeland in Nova Europa is under attack. Beyond this I cannot say for national security purposes."

G.C: "Interesting, then I guess we Soviets we'll have to keep our guard up in case the CA wants to take a shot at us.

Anyways, Senator, what's your overall view of the war, how do you think things have been faring for the NPE so far? Would you qualify their actions as 'okay' so far?"

S.D: "I think we are doing well considering the circumstances. As with all wars, it is a sad thing, but this one is unfortunately needed. Meanwhile, we have received word that Greater Prussia will be aiding us."

G.C: "That's good news for our Prussian viewers everywhere, Senator.

Now, one last question as our time is running out, do you think the NPE is set to obtain a definitive victory early in the conflict, or does this strike you as the 'long, weary and hard-fought' war?"

S.D: "I really cannot say. We hope for this, but we are prepared for the worst. There will be final victory, however. God is with us."

G.C: "Let's hope you are right Senator.

Well, that's all the time we had tonight"

"Again, it was a pleasure having you here tonight, let's hope we can meet again for another interview after the NPE's victory, eh?"

"Well people, I hope you enjoyed the insight given to us by Senator Davidson, I'm sure that today we cleared up a lot of doubts and the world's now a wiser place, now saying goodbye to you this is George Charmichael for Soviet News Network."

Wanderjar Mobilizes

http://www.ilkhani.net/GTreview/3.jpg
Epic Win Picture of Wanderjarian Shock Troops

Finally...

The NPE can rest assured that finally, their main ally and backbone of the alliance, Wanderjar, is finally mobilizing it's armed forces to combat the Corporate Forces threatening the Prussian nations.

On a crushing speech delivered today by Emperor Baker himself, the leader of the Wanderjarian Armed Forces claimed that "The World will be finally cleansed of the stain the Corporate Alliance represents" and that "There would be no mercy for anyone supporting the Corporatist pigs".

Despite of the crushing blows dealt to the NPE so far, the alliance stands strong, fighting a defensive war in it's own soil. However, goverment sources claim this will soon change as the invaders get beaten back to their hideouts.

However, a decisive victory is yet to be achieved by either sides, and most people agree that the war is still a long way from ending.

The World Soviet Party, on the other side, has yet to commit itself to the conflict, but it is expected that it'll enter the fray if it's Eastern Neighbor gets attacked. For the moment, however, the general opinion on the NPE/CA war is that it's better to leave them to duke it out between themselves and then just move in and pick the spoils.

As informed yesterday, the borders have been reinforced with experienced troops brought back from the Trivalvian front, as well as recieving a boost of equipment and ammo to beat back any Corporate should they try and invade Wanderjar.

All in all, it's good news for the NPE, and a sad day for the CA when Wanderjar finally enters the field of combat.

Undershi: Epic Fail

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/undershiphail.png
An Undershi carrier sinks after a Kampferian missile attack

Kampfers's ready to "give it all for the alliance"

As part of our report on the NPE-CA War, today we'll be talking about the attempted Undershi invasion of Kampfers, which so far has been, for lack of a better word, disastrous.

Upon nearing the Kampferian mainland, the advance of the Undershi Navy met heavy resistance from shore-based missile batteries, outgunned this caused them to ask for reinforcements from the main group, which arrived shortly after, only to be met with more missiles.

In fact, it's estimated the Kampferians have nearly depleted their stored ordnance with the last, almost 20,000, missile barrage, which has in turn, caused massive casualties to the OPFOR.

In turn, the True Undershi have retaliated by sending their Thunderers [readers would like to remind we Soviets currently hold massive information about their previous airship, the Lightning, after one crashed in Soviet Waters], which made short work of the NPE bombers sent to finish off the carriers, still, they suffered casualties and their numbers have diminished greatly since the start of the hostilities (which many people are beggining to call "The Battle for Kampfers", unoriginal, but to the point).

So far, the NPE forces seem very close to obtaining the first and indeed, one of the most decisive victories of the war. Certainly, kicking the collective Undershi asses will cause them many problems back at home, as well as weaking the CA coalition.

However, we would like to remind our readers that the combat has yet to finish, so the Undershi still have many chances to turn the tables, we'll keep you updated via your trusted Soviet News Network website.

Message from the Toopoxican Organisation

We have been following the recent issues of TWSP News, a quite controversial move from such a Capitolist nation, we particularly take interest in your coverage on the NPE and CA war, we have noticed a slight bias in this regards but we feel that such an action was unavoidable oweing to the large gap between our two ideologies.
IndentIn an attempt to fix this problem we would like to organise a meeting with representatives of your News outlet to answer questions from the perspective of the "Bad Guys" as we have been so wrongly dubbed, we also feel that this meeting could herald a closing of the gap between our two nations and we eagerly await a response.

Shouldn't be a problem - they were all sent in to try to accomplish their mission with the warning that if they failed, their families would be executed. Which is what happened... so, they'll all not only not have to worry about the reprecussions for their families (since they're dead), they also have a reason to hate Undershi.

I was thinking - perhaps a norm (norm refers to "normal" or non-True Undershi, but then I mentioned that to you before) could escape from Undershi, and then do a propaganda piece on the Undershi Empire with references to that whole affair? Or you could just polish up the interview, since that's already written up. Your choice. Either way, I'm sure you'll do an excelent job.

Well, the whole "norm" escapes could do for a nice little RP, and I'm going to have some extra free time since the professors at my school are striking.

Do you want me to post the opening thread? I already have a number of ideas for how a norm could escape... I could use one, then have him request asylum in TWSP. Sounds like a plan?

Terrorists attack The PeoplesFreedom Capitol

Horrific image of the blown-up Police Station

Surprising, bold move from the goverment. DNA sample required

Things have been going downhill for the TPF'ian nation and populace since the new mineral known as "Tiberium" oddly crash-landed in their national territory, via a meteorite.

For some strange reason, this mineral has been certified to "expand" on it's own, consuming resources and living beings alike, and literally turning entire cities into "ghost town", of course, this only serves to create more Tiberium, as anyone or anything that get's in contact with it (or him) mutates into, well, more Tiberium.

And if that's not enough for you, well, some strange terrorist cult devoted to worshipping this alien material has already threatened the TPF'ian goverment with an all-out war if it doesnt comply to it's demand. In fact, they have gone as far as to commit suicide bombings (the first one taking place in a police station, and threatening with more).

Scientists are baffled as to the procedence of this new element, and even the most important sociologists cannot understand it's importance to the cult of "Nod", as it has reportedly called itself.

More news as we get them

Your typical Doomingslani city

And you thought this article was about APOC!

APOC; Golgoth; The Questerian Commonwealth... All known names to your average Soviet citizen, probably because Soviets are more interested in the international stage than some of their foreign counterparts.

Well, anyways, as most of you already know, there has been trouble brewing between these "alliances", a lot of mudslinging and, of course, media coverage about politicians.

But we are not here to discuss that. Obviously, we could rant and ramble about power, politics, economy and militaries (for all of you fans out there). Alas, we can only hope this ends as quick and as bloodlessly as possible, if only, for the good of their own people.

Basically, what I'm trying to say here (and yes, this is a goverment owned corporation), is that this article is pointless, I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

Yeah, I'll probably be fired for this, but you know what? I dont give a damn, stick it up to the Man, fight the power!
