Let Freedom Ring [ATTN: Kahanistan and his allies]
Announcement of Kevin Nivensky, CEO, Allanean Arms Corporation
As I have recently profited greatly from the sales of Angstrom Gigacarrier production rights, and because I think the Doomani are a glowing bunch of international idiots, I hereby announce a fund to rebuild the economy of the Kahanistani survivors, and ease the setting up of their new homeland. As such, I am willing to provide one trillion dollars in a variety of currencies as a donation to the Kahanistani people. This will come out to $2,200 dollars per every Kahanistani refugee.
Further, I call on all the decent people of the world to provide aid to the Kahanistani.

Official Statement of the Provisional Government of the Free Republic of Kahanistan
We are most deeply grateful for the aid that has been heaped upon our once proud nation by the international community to heal our wounds from the Doomani and their Questarian slave-allies. We intend to use it to build new infrastructure, treat those civilians and soldiers who have been wounded for our people, maintain our famous educational and health care systems, and build a new defence force for the protection of our people from those who would exploit it.
Signed,
Dr. Khalid bin Abdullah al-Omari,
President of the Provisional Government

Official Announcement by the University of Concord, Liberty City
We wish to purchase the 1957 Webster’s Dictionary for 150 million dollars for the University Museum.

I kind of like Odot. I will be buying the dog for 1 billion dollars because I’m a wealthy, arrogant fuck like that.
Official USSW Support for the Rebuilding of Kahanistan
First of all, I would like to say one phrase: "We remember." As with the prior attempts to eradicate the Kahanistani nation and their ancestors in the Holy Land, we remember what happened even if the allies of Caesar Maximus may lie and dissemble to shift the blame onto their victims. We remember the black day that billions were slain, for trying to defend their homes and lives from ruin and desolation brought upon them without reason. And we remember our obligations to the oppressed; not merely because of alliance, but of simple compassion.
Hence, Mr. Nivensky, I too will authorize the commitment of a further five-hundred billion dollars from our Commerce budget immediately transferable to whatever secret accounts you will require of us; this on top of our standing donation per annum of five-hundred billion as well until the Kahanistani need is alleviated. I also have it from my wife, the Secretary General of the United Federation of Allied Nations Christine Friedrich, that one trillion dollars is authorized for disbursement to the Kahanistani from our disaster fund. Many will not like this effort, but together the free peoples of the world are stronger than those who side with the tyrants for whatever reason. And with Kahanistan under shelter and aid, we shall triumph yet again despite this monstrous crime inflicted against them by the Doomani; already their people largely remain, and that is half the battle won indeed.
Sincerely in Solidarity,
Charles D. Lind

Being of a particularly sensitive mind to the plights of impoverished refugees, the Associated Peanut Growers of the Greater Balkan Region wish to donate the total sum of $15,000, along with 400 tons of fine Hungarian peanuts. The Society of Obscenely Wealthy Tea Drinking Pseudo Intellectuals has also chipped in by donating a wide variety of leftist campaign posters dating back to 1926, six gold snuff-boxes, and fourteen expensive watches, and is currently organising pro-Kahanistan demonstrations throughout Hungary and Slovenia as well as within the tiny autonomous nation of Vojvodina-Nihon. The Society for the Preservation of Rare and Endangered Animals has sent Kahanistan a single, extremely rare pygmy spotted-bellied marmoset, to be included in the first zoo to be opened accompanied by a massive plaqee six times the size of the marmoset stating "This pygmy spotted-bellied marmoset was donated to the Government of Kahanistan by the Southeast European Society for the Preservation of Rare and Endangered Animals."
These parties requested that they be referred to as "Private donors" on the rap sheet.

4th Kahanistani Relief Mission
The first 10 million R-4s were being loaded onto the massive ships. Security forces and oversight officers would accompany the labor.
While 500 million had been purchased, the first 10 million would be distributed under controlled conditions. Some areas would be controls, getting no aid, others would be monitored by oversight officers, others allowed to give themselves oversight. They would see the retention rate of the R-4s. If too many of them ended up on the black market, a fee would be charged per bag, then the whole experiment would start up again.

THe Allanean Department of Defense, in a drive to cut its numbers and reduce budget shortfalls, wishes to donate the following weaponry to the Kahanistani:
80 Type 1000 strategic bombers
16,000 SAH-27A Next Generation attack helicopters
21,000 Boneharvester helicopters
This cuts the amount of helicopters in service with the Air Force by a third, and cuts our annual maintenance expenditures.

OFFICIAL IMPERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
For years, for long centuries, the Imperium has seen itself as kin to the Doomani. It is not surprising that we saw a kindred spirit in them; we know the hatred that drives them, and we know the intoxication of victory after victory. Now, however, we know their vile idolatry, their deceitful tongues...we are committed to eliminating their sinful race from this earth. To this end, we must show support for those who have fallen in the fight against the demon.
I have commanded that a monument be erected in Korronis: the Tomb of the Kahanistani Martyr. This is the first monument to honor a foreign people with whom the Imperium has never been friendly; however, this is a time for unity, not selfishness. The Tomb will depict a Kahanistani soldier, weary from long battle, looking towards the continent of Doomanum. Furthermore, I have ordered the appropriation of four billion USD for humanitarian relief, in addition to the money we will spend on any refugees arriving on Kregaian shores. May the Kahanistani serve as an example of the cruelty of the Doomani, the bravery of the free world, and the necessity of resistance.
Death to Maximus.
Signed,
His Divine Majesty, Sacred Emperor Ishamael II

In addition, the Empress has made a withdrawl from the Vault of Random Things: 3 Lbs. of Anticheese, 5 Half Eaten Sandwiches, 1 Ton of Lint, 1 Baby Grand Piano, and 7 Grains of Rice. We are sure that the 1 ton of lint could be added to someone else's collection of lint and be used as publicity event to break some record or another, bringing more donations to the cause. May Jupiter smile on these unfortunate souls, and save them for Mars's War Dogs.

Official Statement of the Imperial Yaforite Aid Foundation
Greetings from the IYAF,
We have had our differences in the past. After all, for a long time, the gates to Allanea have been closed by choice. Similarly, the gates to Kahanistan have been closed by choice. Both of your countries are known for their crimes - those of the Allaneans because of their hatred of others and their love of freedom and those of the Kahanistanis due to their religion and their persecution. We have all seen the footage of Allanean bombs falling upon cities, of Kahanistanis shooting civilians. We do not need to go over Doomani propaganda once more, or at least, not without wincing. There is no need for that now.
As the world knows, the goal of the IYAF is to make this world a better place. We do not do this by simply improving the lot of the rich. To paraphrase A Raisin in the Sun, we do not simply help when it is easiest to help, or even to who it is easiest to help. What good would that accomplish? The hardest to help are often those who can gain the most and it is in this that we try to accomplish our goals. We will put aside the past actions of Allanea and Kahanistan, and, instead, face the future, a future which will, hopefully, be a brighter and better one for the Kahanistani people.
As a result, I would like to let you know that the Imperial Yaforite Aid Foundation will be right behind you. We have experience building a nation from scratch - in The Burnsian Desert, we worked to rebuild the lives of a people who had been shattered by war. Through the tireless work of our volunteers and the unfailing opportunism of the Burnsian people, they managed to land on their feet. We hope to the do the same in Kahanistan, especially if the people of Kahanistan show the same resilience and willingness to survive, no matter the odds.
The Imperial Yaforite Aid Foundation, known throughout the world for our work with others, stands beside you.
~Signed~

11-10-2007, 23:48
Emirate News Network
DRAGON'S LANCE, Tersanctus (ENN) - The Emirate Humanitarian Organization (EHO) announced a proposal to begin operations in Kahanistan to rebuild the nation. The proposal included donations and distribution of food, water, and other items necessary to the survival of the population of Kahanistan. Also included are plans to contract a number of Emirate corporations to help rebuild the devastated nation.
The operation was approved by the Drakonian Government, who is the current organizer of the EHO and their primary contributor. When asked to comment the Drakonia Government said that they approved of the reconstruction and that the operation was suggested by a foreign government. Government officials also said that the Imperium has no relations with the nations involved and is simply hoping to save lives and help the civilians of Kahanistan recover from their troubles.
Currently, the EHO has two other major operations that are on-going. One, in the nation of Fyreheart, which was torn apart by a rebellion against the illegal dictatorial government, and another in the former nation of Al Anbar, where the corrupt government was removed following treaty violation and an invasion by the Drakonia and Tersanctus. Both operations are expected to be completed in the next year.
The proposal outlines the shipment of several hundred tons of goods, including primarily food stuffs like grain. Materials would be gathered at ports in Drakonia, Baradossia, and Tersanctus, and then shipped to the Middle East. Items like blankets, water purifiers, and temporary shelters would be included among the first shipments.
EHO Officials reported that they would be able to quickly begin operations in Kahanistan by shifting manpower from nearby Al Anbar (Iraq and Syria). The proposal outlines the beginning of operations in the next few weeks as anthropologists would arrive in country to begin appraising cultural considerations that might affect the development and aid. The first shipments of aid would arrive in a month.
When asked whether contractors would be part of the operation or whether the EHO would be accepting grant proposals for development, ENN reporters were told that the plans for operations in Kahanistan had not been finalized, but that it was likely that fifty million in Drakonian Doubloons would be set aside as necessary.
Unlike many international development organizations the EHO conducts much of it international aid and international development direct, using contractors and grants only on a limited basis. As such it has a large number of permanent employees allowing it to quickly shift resources into place and begin humanitarian operations. At the fore front of humanitarian organizations among the nations of the United Emirates, the EHO benefits from support from many of the nations it represents. Being an international organization, its employees are well aware of the complex cultural issues that are often overlooked in international development and well schooled in diplomacy and anthropology.
Operations in Kahanistan are expected to save thousands of lives and rebuild the nation to again be a productive member of the international community.

Ministry of State
The Vetalian government is committed to aiding our friends in Kahanistan rebuild themselves after their struggle and will provide them the technical assistance they need to restore their nation to economic functionality. Our workers' expertise in business and finance will enable your country to better rebuild its financial system and generate the capital needed to fund further reconstruction of infrastructure and industry.
To this end, we announce the following aid contributions to our allies:
-500 billion rubles (approx. $930 billion) at Vetalian banks for the purpose of building up foreign exchange. Our ruble is a very hard currency and will provide strong support for their economy in its recovery phase. This money will not be immediately available for use by the country's citizens, as that would do nothing but stoke unnecessary inflation.
-50,000 engineers of various specifications recruited for service by the Ministry of Economic Development.
-10,000 experienced managers, economists, analysts and accountants for rebuilding their tax collection systems and to rebuild business education in the country's educational system.
Other personnel can be provided as needed, but we feel that the Kahanistani workforce will recover quickly and we will not need to provide these volunteers' services for very long.

In the island far out to sea where most of the survivors had been relocated, the massive inflow of cash aid had been used to import building materials, and settlements were now being constructed. The one that would become the capital was a thousand metres above the land in the high cliffs in the centre of the island. The other main settlements were going onto the beach to the south, the marshlands of the southeast, and the deserts and grasslands of the southwest.
The building that would become the new Presidential Palace, at least in the interim, was at this point a framework for a three-story house sufficient to house the President, a few office workers, and a security detachment.
