Published in Sithin, People's Republic of Spyr, The Choson Times is a weekly newspaper that turns out special editions mid-week, usually when the Korean Communist Party feels that it has something to declare. Officially dedicated to objectivity, the paper is generally considered to be at least pro-Northern and at worst a direct mouthpiece for the KCP abroad. The Choson Times also reports infrequently on stories from Lyong and elsewhere in the Shining Sphere that do not directly relate to the Korean peninsula, but only when good news is available, and possibly only to protect its reputation with the Strainist Party.

Director Hotan proclaims Strainism goal of Juche Way!

Ending a period of Kurosite uncertainty in a post-Maoist world, The Wisest Director has told his people to expect all the prosperity associated with Spyr's great cities.

All that stands in the way, says Director Hotan, is the very thing that held-back Tord before Strainist liberation of that backwards kingdom. Christianity shackles Hamhung and the south as it did Tord, draining resources to build grand churches and feed podgey priests who expect tribute.

"Victory will bring the riches of Sithin back to the cities of Korea." Says Secretary Kim in a speech published by The Choson Times this week.

Marshal Lav's Socialist union of Balkan Slavs has tried to find a neutral path between NATO and the Communists, but western capitalists have been less than keen to court Yugoslavia, while eastern nations and their African allies have aided the SFRY's defence against Feudal aggression and helped no end in the 'economic miracle' of Europe's poorest corner. If Asia has seen tiger economies in Spyr, Vietnam, and India, Europe at least has one brawling bear on the landscape. In 2005, Yugoslavia's GDP is estimated to have been worth hardly US$210 billion, while in 2008 the Communist Party expects to count significantly more than quarter of a trillion dollars of activity, and Belgrade claims an average of 6.1% growth, "despite military bombing, foreign espionage, and enemy backing of terrorist separatists".

Defence has lead the way was hostilities and western aloofness temper Aidarov's tourism initiatives, but arms sales to Africa, South America, and Asia have for the first time left Belgrade with a healthy currency reserve.

Still worried by Italy, France and Tulgary, Russia and the Estenlands, and now Greece, and highly suspicious of Germany, Austria, and the United States, Yugoslavia's defences continue to strengthen. In most equipment, JNA forces are the equal of their likely rivals, and in many respects have superior weaponry to that weilded by their European enemies. But, with a population of less than thirty-one million, the Socialist Federal Republic needs to boost its international image in order to win friends and intimidate opponents.

Camera crews from the SFRY are now able to use their nation's Progressive connections, and its increasing alienation from the west, to gain access to lands beyond the reach of capitalist filmmakers.

A major state-backed operation will for the first time attempt to produce a large-scale documentary film on the reclusive Choson People's Republic and its unique revolution, working with the premission of the mysterious Central Directorature to break ground long impervious to western investigation.
