"Hello and welcome to Meet the World. I'm Brian Henderson, standing in tonight for Jason Hill. We have a guest tonight, Col. John Arnold of Calizorinstan. Thanks for coming on the show Col. Arnold. What branch of the armed forces are you a member of?

Col. Arnold answers "I am a member of the Calizorinstanian Air Force, in my career, I have flown approx. 16,000 flight hours, in 12 different types of aircraft, I joined 15 year ago."

"That's quite a career Col. I did a four-year stint in the Army myself. Deployed to Wagdog and Mhoudia as part of UFAN operations but never actually saw combat. But down to business, what's your take on the current war between the Corporate Alliance and New Prussian Empire?"

Col.Arnold replied "Well, I believe that to be honest, sooner or later, Calizorinstan is going to get involved, we are undoubtedly going to lose people, in war you have to. I am very concerned Brian, because as you see..." He unrolled a map of the NPE region: http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/npemap.jpg

He put his finger on Grosse Reich and said "That is where the Griffencrest Fleet, is, they've taken over Grosse Reich, and I think they're landing troops on Barokin I think. Which is south of us directly, which is giving me some concern, the Griffencrest and their allies have a big fleet and I fear some of the fallout will come near us."

"Well, I can certainly see why you'd be concerned. I have faith that the NPE will prevail however. But, let's talk civil matters. Would you mind telling those viewers who are unfamiliar with your nation a little bit about it?"

Col.Arnold nodded and said "Certainly Brian, our nation was founded 50 years ago, it was originally called Calitannia, and it for many years was called that, it grew bigger in time, and then, oh about 20 years ago, people voted in a new president that changed the name to Calizorinstan. We had a communist revolution 5 years ago, it was put down with much effort on our part. Since then, we have been a thriving country, our major industries are Aerospace, Small Arms, Book Industry, and Industrial industry."

'Seems like your nation's seen it's share of action in 50 years. I hear the Arnold family carries a fair bit of influence in Calizorinstan. Is this true?"

Col.Arnold nodded and said "Yes Brian, we do carry a bit of influence in Calizorinstan, we've got me, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, my father, President/Rear Admiral Jack.R Arnold, President, former head of the Navy, my brother is in a multinational commando squad outside of Calizorinstan, and Tom is an American Football player for the San Diego Werewolves..."
