Outside of the Federal Congressional Parliament Building in Jast

Five year term of Mister John Steven Batther to come to end and five year term of new President to come.

After five years worth in office our the current President, President John Batther, will officially finish his term next friday. After being forced to resign from office by the Pictish and refusing to do so he has finished off his term by pulling the Republic out of the Corporate Alliance and binding us closer with our Mediterranican Allies.

It is suspected that the current Cabinet will abdicate as well do to their close friendship with the past two leaders. Currently the next presidential canidates are Minister of State Premier Sir Jerry Striker, Imperial Parliamentarian Miss Alice Krippin, Minister of Defence Premier Sir Douglas Pire, Congressional Parliamentarian Richard Stark, RSoG Representitive Kane Befales, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Premier Sir Michael Richardson.

The vote came in through the Federal Congressional Parliament after the yearly approval rating vote was lower then the necessary 52%. Thus far Sir Jerry Striker and Miss Alice Krippin are ahead after campaigning for about a month in various places across the Grestonian Empire.

On one of these trips Miss Alice Krippin landed to a hail of sniper fire and motor fire which resulted in the deaths of almost all of her escort, unfortunately the agressors are still to be caught.

On that note the Premiry Elections have been conducted and the results came in that Jerry Striker, Alice Krippin, and Michael Richardson will be the main canidates when it comes to the Primaries. To get an update on the upcoming elections stayed tune to the GNNN.

Covering Story: RSoG Party Members Place on Trial

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/14/Nuremberg_judges.jpg
Bailey's Councel, Six Judges Selected to Put the Leading Commanders of the RSoG on Trial

Führer Kane Befales, Oberstgruppenführer Keneliki Kawaja, Reichsführer Beure von Kemmerich, Gruppenführer Hanzel von Fureon, Gruppenführer Ross von Huithon, and Sturmbannführers von Beure, Vereolia, and Berfuor put on trial for war crimes.

Seven years after the 18 battles in which the RSoG, lead by "Führer" Kane Befales, attempted to forcefully take power of the newly established Grestonian government was crushed the lead officials and officers of the war have been put on trial for war crimes. Due to this recent revelation the elections were postponed to a later date due to the fact that the once revolutionary leader is now in shackles, soon to face the Bailey's Council.

Among the men on trial are the lead officials of the RSoG Military Council, the three Sturmbannführers of the Befales Council, the two RSoG Generals, Keneliki Kawaja and Beure von Kemmerich, and their leader himself, Kane Befales.

The order came in after they decided to participate in running for the next President and as the 7th anniversary rolled around. Although they are already in custody they shall not be trailed until next Friday and the verdict will not come in until the Monday after that. Council members are anxious to get the trials over with, with the number of accusations it is almost obvious in which way the verdict shall turn out.

Among the council members are William Rier, Richard Hornerstok, Michael Rightford, Jacob Hemming, David Farley, and Minister of Justice Premier Peter Bolob. They will deliberate and come upon the conclusion of the fate and terms of the condemned men.

Rumor has it that these shall not be the only convictions and trials for war crimes against the RSoG but only a few in many.

"It is so exciting," stated Richard Hornerstok as he left the Bailey's Supreme Court of Law today, "I can't wait, the government has given them a rope around their neck and they have run pretty far with it, now it is time to yank on the rope and leave them out to dry."

Similar remarks were made by other council members, the only person slightly in the favor of the condemned thus far is Mister David Farley who stated shortly after Hornerstok, "Six rich, greedy men known for their hatred towards Nazism given authority to jail, possibly execute, eight powerless Nazis, what do you think the verdict will be!"

More on this story to come.

Reichsführer Beure von Kemmerich in 2007 before battle

Reichsführer Beure von Kemmerich put on trial, first of eight.

Reichsführer Beure von Kemmerich, the General of the Reich and close friend of Kane Befales, was walked into court, escorted by three Electoral Office Guards. He is the first of eight RSoG members condemned and soon to be sentenced and the Bailey's Council plans on making an example out of him. His trial reason, what he is condemned for, is of war crimes, mass murder, and the aiding and abetting of a criminal.

His war crimes consisted of when during the third day of fighting on the outskirts of Jast he collected over 100 Grestonian and Allied POWs and executed each. He was also the one of the three masterminds behind the first Easen attack, the arming of the houses and taking the stadium, in which over 7,000 Grestonian civilians and 340 Grestonian Soldiers were killed. The other two masterminds behind that section of battle was the Fuhrer and Keneliki Kawaja.

During a short recess the Neo-Nazis attorney stated, "Oh how I love Greston's freedom, their way of falsifying actions, frabicating lies, and picking a byist jury."

Due to the situtation we cannot find out the entire story but we are invited to come listen to the verdict of this man and the entire cases of the other seven of whom shall be trialed and most likely convicted.

HM Government lambasts Grestonian courts

EASEN, GR - As the trials of eight fascist leaders accused of war crimes and treason begins within Greston, Her Majesty's Government expressed strong concerns about the Grestonian justice process, accusing the proceedings of being "inequitable and a violation of basic civil rights."

"Regardless of whatever negative public opinion is incurred by these eight individuals, they do have the basic human right of a fair trial," the Londinian ambassador in Easen stated to the LBG. "The law exists not to single individuals out for extraordinary punishment, but to impartially and equitably address wrongs; as far as I can see, the former is the case in Greston at the moment."

Foreign Minister Edward Weigley echoed the ambassador's concerns in his official statement to the press: "Considering that Greston is a close ally of the Commonwealth through its regional ties, the flaunting of something as basic as the rule of law is troubling at best."

For now, the Commonwealth has not taken any action against Greston besides its diplomatic reprimands and the instatement of a travel advisory urging caution visiting Greston, in addition to curbing Gresto-Londinian air traffic by 17%.

Covering Story: Alogorthian/ Grestonian Treaty Signed

Treaty Signing in Ronsing, Greston with Alogorthian Dignitaries

President Ulysses Obrath of Alogorthia and Grestonian Diplomats have signed a treaty binding the two beighbors.

A court session was held where diplomats of both nationalities argued and debated until a treaty was signed stopping the two neighbors from warring eachother.

"The treaty was necesary after the Socialist Londinian Government attacked our Eastern lands. That ended peacefully but it might not always end up that way," commented Head Premier John Gutted when leaving the conference. He described it to be a compelling debate and that the Alogs are not a stupid people.

The treaty ranged from statements and laws on Warfare to traveling, and even the way the Alogorthian Parliament and Government would be changed preventing another Canburn Incident in which the last Alogorthian Government commited such attrocities as genocide of their own people.

"I just hope this will better our relations with our neighbors, prevent certain incidents." President Batther stated when interviewed on the conference.

Newly Elected President, Jerry Striker, Vetoes Ultimatum and Lambasts Nova Pictavian Government.

After formally being given the title and being placed in office the newly elected president, Jerry Striker, took a turn that was not predicted. He finished off a few other issues then procedded to organize a conference.

At the conference he lambasted the Pictish ultimatum calling it a "unjustified, inexcusable act of imperialism that should be stopped at all costs." He spoke about their base and their movement and other events that occured from the hated ultimatum.

"My predicesor was to weak to decline but with the authority given to me once voted in I decree that the ultimatum is illegal making their Military Base the same, they are on Grestonian land under false pretenses. If Sir Batther did anything right it was his stubborness to come up with an answer, it only made this action possibly."

In the same conference he stated that the Pictish base will be removed, peacfully or not. He went on to say comments about the Pictish Government, "Rich, fat pigs is what I think, they have no honour." He commented on the Consuls pay, the government's style and how its works, and many other things.

"It isn't too well known where the first Grestonians came from but it is obvious who the Pictish descended from, and that is Satan's second son who, shortly after birth, was dropped on his head."

Soon after the speech was given a entire brigade was commited to marching to the Eastern Territory the base was located on.

Morning Meeting of the Council of Bishops

God and Empire Pledge Support for Government of Jerry Striker

This morning, on the announcement of the Grestonian vetoing of an earlier Picitsh Ultimatum, which caused a considerable amount of political fallout within some Waldenburger circles, the Council of Bishops has voted unanimously for support of the Grestonian position. Previously is had been considered by a few of the more radical members of both the Imperial cabinet and the Holy Church to excommunicate in Absentina and Idcirco, damning the entire government. However the Cenobiarch blocked such actions, and it seems most wisely. In a public speech to some two million Waldenburgers the Cenobiarch praise President Jerry Striker "He is a man of action, a man of true sense and man with a spine."

With the backing if His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty Wyatt von Waldenburg IV, the Empire has put forward a demand for a Pictish apology, complete withdrawl from Grestonian lands, and reparations for earlier illegal concessions. The VI and VII Army groups have already been brought to arms in anticipation of conflict between the two powers, to which Waldenburg and her Dominions is bound to assist. His Imperial Majesty, when speaking to The Imperial war Cabinet mentioned the possibility of, as threatened by Dr. Hodz of Akimond earlier, nuclear warfare. "A situation has arisen where, by the merest chance of timing, in that the Pictish, demanding the ratification of a treaty when a government was under the process of democratically handing over power, and backing their ultimatum with threats posed a impossible situation to Mr. Batther. That situation has been resolved at least, and a new kind arisen. One that will not be settled taking to the sidelines but by action. And the Empire promises action should the need arise, and it will, as was never doubted, honor it's treaties with the Imperial Republic. A letter shall be on the Consul's desk by the morning, and it will deliver our most firm disapproval over this new crisis caused by the lawlessness of the Pictish people." Naval Action Group XXIX, based around the fleet carrier Indolence has been subverted to Grestonian command, and waits primed within eighty miles of the planned Pictish based to act in defense of the region.

OOC: This obviously SIC as Yallak does not broadcast news of any kind to the International community.

Imperial Military Poises for Possible Action

Within minutes of the announcement from the new leader of Greston it seems our Emperor was making his own announcements to his military commanders. From across the nation we have been receiving rumours of Army, Navy and Air Force basaes gearing up into extra unusual levels of activity. This kind of preparation hasn't been seen since the end of the war against the Kraven Corporation and its slave states.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b23/Yallak/df31_icbm.gif

Fuel and supplies? This news network thinks not![/CENTER]
Most interesting of all though are the three (so far) sightings of oversized tanker like trucks ferrying as yet unidentified something’s into old missile bases in the northern provinces, left seemingly unused since the Emperor’s directive to sell off the Empire’s stockpile of nuclear bombs some four years ago. We wait in anticipation to see exactly what could be going on in those long defunct silos.

However, there has been no comment on any of these activities so far by any officials from local, provincial or the Imperial Government so we can only surmise that the military is preparing for a first strike against the Pictavian base in Greston or an all out attack on Nova Pictavia itself. After all, it would not be the first time our great nation has laid waste to an foreign realm for crossing us.

Is war on the horizon or are recent activities just another readiness drill?

View of the activities at the Hibernia Harbour Naval base in Hibernia Province

Reports from observers, the recent slowing of the economy in military towns and news reports from our Allied Nations has posed the question, "Is war on the horizion or is this another readiness drill?"

At Hibernia Harbour this past week, several of the navy`s aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships were observed to be preparing to leave port on some extended mission. Base officials are quiet on the subject as the press liaison officer has not retuned any phone calls to this press agency for over two weeks.

Earlier today at Kancamagus Marine Base, Pipers lead the parade as members of the the 2nd Marine Division-8th Battalion headed aboard their amphibious assault ships.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMH55PhHWOA

Marine Base Commander, Brigadier General Peter Attenbough said "This unit was being deployed to relieve forces stationed in Northern Gataway, as part of our commitment to regional allies."

Defense Minister John Luttrell was questioned about the activities of the Dominion`s armed forces and the recent words and actions of other regional powers, " The armed forces of the Dominion have always been in a state of heightened readiness. Constantly drilling to ensure that if they are called on to defend the homeland, that the opponent will meet a swift and overwhelming defeat. Our forces are prepared for whatever mission may present itself; humanitarian crisis, allied assistance or the liberation of an illegally occupied land."

It appears as if this may be just another series of drills and part of the normal workings of the Dominion military but in light of recent events and what may be construed as 'evasive' answers to questioning by military officials, the media is just as confused about these events as the general public.

This concludes this news broadcast by the Aschenhyrst Broadcasting Company

Saint-Nectaire, Tracadéro – The city of Saint-Nectaire has long been the Ponentean Navy’s home port and nexus in the south of the nation and has always seem much activity. Citizens however were taken by surprise when they heard the loud horn of not one, but five carriers leaving the harbor to practice manouvers in the Gulf of Ponente. Likewise, the 1st Adriatican Battle Group was seen sailing out with the carriers and is reportedly headed out to the Adriatican Sea. All of this occuring only two days after King Louis XIII publicly declared that “West Ponente will always support it’s Mediterranican Allies, especially in times like this”. Although the Ministry of Defense has assured the public that these actions are only for the safety of the Sovereign State itself, one can’t help but feel a little nervous. Not all are anxious about the situation, several sailors were interview on what they felt of this and their ship, the Octobre, “Nothing’s going to happen this is all just a big show....probably...I think.”

Ustian Government Announces It's Support Of Newly Elected Grestonian President

Today Federal-President Shane Kennedy and Vice-President Logan Rimmer announced their full support for the new President of Greston, Jerry Striker.

In a news interview this morning, President Kennedy extended his congratulations to newly elected President Striker, along with lambasting the Promise Hand Rebel group, who attacked a transport convoy transporting "Pixie Dust" to a medical research center in Hydria. The attack left 3 civillans and 8 Ustian soldiers dead.

Armory of the newly established Union Fort, 7 miles away from Pictish base.

Staging point fort established seven miles away from enemy grounds.

Troops straight out of the conflict in Roma V were placed on duty in the Eastern Territory of Greston on a newly established base. The base has over 150,000 Grestonian soldiers stationed in it and room for many more.

"The Med asked for this and here they are," stated Colonel Jacob Ronnit when interviewed about the fort. "150,000 well able bodied Grestonian men armed to the teeth with new technology, vehichles, and artillary." The base, Union Square, can hold up to 200,000 more men and the nations pledging suppourt to Greston are invited to put men in it.

"Those Picts have no where to go if we attack, they are on Grestonian land, and most likely we out number them. And thats not taking into account how we have half the region pledging support."

Currently only 15,000 men occupy the area with some unmanned vehichles but the promised brigade of 100,000 men is soon to come. Rumor is that this is not going to be the last base open for MU and Med members to be made, construction plans are being made to make a base five miles north of the Pictish one.

Parade of soldiers, at Union Square Military Fort, soon to be deployed to foreclose the Pictish base.

Grestonian Troops gathered and time of fighting approaching!

The said brigade of 100,000 men reached the Union Square fort and started practing in drills. A parade was scheduled for their departure and they marched around their town for an hour before being placed in the fort.

Colonel Richard Baugchet of the 34th Brigade, the one being placed in Union Square, stated when asked about how he expected the outcome to turn out, "We'll win, no arrogant Akimonadi or Pictish bitch is going roam free on our land because they said so."

Still the threat of nuclear war lingers in the air. Dr. Hodz of Akimonad, a member of the NukeWealth, and the trigger happy Johnny Standford, of the insane asylum of Anagonia, both threatened nuclear war with Greston and her Mediterranican Allies. Some say those threats are the reason Sir Batther backed down.

But General John Chamberlain of the IGA disagrees, "They won't do it, I can tell cause they know are odds are better. The Pictish have been lieing from the begining, they said all of Haven was going to help them when that is completely out of the question. If all of Haven was going to fight us wouldn't they have said something? And even so we have allies in that area of influence and it would be stupid have them fighting against their own."

But still all possible precautions are being made and Grestonian nuclear stockpiles are on stand by.

Theoroshia Prepares for War

With the recent Pictish occupation of a small base in Grestonian territory, and with the recent speech by that nations newly elected leader, comes the frightening news: Theoroshia is preparing for war.

http://unsd.macrossroleplay.org/udaloy_1.jpg
A Udaloy class frigate leaving port.

All across the nation, army and air army bases are on high alert, and the Premier recently issued a hold on all immigration. Haven assets, which include a couple of bank accounts, were frozen, and the North-Point embassy was evacuated by Theoroshian Spetznaz forces in fear of our one Haven ally being attacked by angry citizens.

The Director of the Military, Yamin Rodinovich, recently commented, "We hope that the current situation between Meditteranican and Pictish forces can be solved diplomatically; however, in the face of all of the militarization going on, Theoroshia has no choice but to gear up for war."

The 5th and 6th Naval Battle Groups, stationed on the island of Kalikov south of Theoroshia, were joined by the 2nd Naval Carrier Group and the 6th Naval Submarine Group. Almost all other naval assets are patrolling the oceans around Theoroshia, and three nuclear submarines have recently submerged near the Hibernian Sea.

When asked where they were going, comrade Rodinovich replied with a, "No comment."

Rumors of the cult Children of Danmar, a Quasi-Terrorist/cult organization that caused massive destruction, and almost reconverted the empire into a fuedal state, have surfaced pertaining to them operating out of the nation of Greston. The rumors were put forth from an information leak in the AIA(Altairan Intelligence Agency) involving the interrogation of a captured 'remnant' or remaining children sleeper cell. The transcript is still top secret but it involves threats of Altairans fall, Children of Danmar flowing out of Greston. Little else is known but the AIA has dismissed it as internet chaff.

Prime Minister warns of 'GRAMMAR NAZIS'.

During his weekly address to parliament, Prime Minister Benjamin Clark spoke of the posibility of a conflict with Havenic forces and warned of "Grammar Nazis'.

" While we sought to end the Grestonian affair peacefully, our concerns seem to have fallen on deaf ears. A 'Quartet of Evil' seem hell-bent on the nuclear armageddon of our region and claim that the Mediterranican people are the instigators of the entire affair. When given a chance to respond; the GRAMMAR NAZIS of Akiminad, Praetonia, Questers and the Scandinavian States begin ranting about how we speak and write. A positive dialouge with these nations is impossible as their self-percieved 'superiority' over all other races and creeds is becoming blatantly obvious. They cry we are the aggressors and yet it is they who have made the threat of nuclear war early in the crisis, stating the would cast us into the 'pits of hell'. The only proper response we were left was to inform them that 'theirs would be the first hands we shook upon arrival'. Our nation must ready for war with these nations with 'no conscience' and must expect no quarter from these foes as they view all others as 'inferior', that lack the respect for the laws and rights of others and whose obvious overtures indicate that they not only wish to snuff out the light of liberty in Mediterranica but the entire world."

In related news, Parliament authorized spending 500 billion Universal Standard Dollars for defensive needs against the possiblity of a Havenic Invasion of the region. Home guard units have been placed on alert status I, requiring weekly small-arms drills, as a precautionary measure.

Consul authorizes Operation Thermoplyae

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44516000/jpg/_44516799_sarko2body.jpg
Consul William Nately outside of Parliament Spire

NYQUIST, LC - As tensions between Londinian regional ally Greston and Nova Pictavia escalate to ever spiraling heights, the Londinian Commonwealth has assumed full wartime footing for the first time since the 2015 Freekish Vivicide in what HM Government has termed "Operation Thermoplyae".

"The Commonwealth seeks peace, and, indeed, a measure of solace," Consul Nately said in a press conference this evening. "Yet, Haven insists on, once again, wreaking havoc once more upon the Mediterranican peoples. I, for one, cannot merely stand by and allow a fellow democracy to be subjected to the insidious puppetry of Haven, nor can I, for the sake of the Londinian people, merely fold once more. It is here that we draw the line in the sand, it is here that we make our stand, and it is here that the Commonwealth shall live up to the epithet of a great power. No longer will the Commonwealth permit the immoral, callous polities that comprise Haven to tread on her. Good night then: sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn. Extolleraya le Catholiquenarii!"

Operation Thermoplyae, detailed in a classified Ministry of Defence white paper, "Current Regional Defence Options in the Grestonian Theatre, May 2025", and the overarching war strategy as conflict looms, was endorsed by the Parliamentary Select Committee for Defence in the morning, and passed through Parliament overwhelmingly.

Defence Minister Crerar refused to comment on Thermoplyae's details, but did inform the LBG that Plan Violet, the emergency invasion-defence plan, is being implemented. Mr. Crerar urged all Londinian civilians to consider evacuation of major cities at the outbreak of conflict and to seek refuge in government-designated redoubts in the Rorarian Mountains. The defence minister also informed our correspondent that the Military Conscription Protocol was being readied for a potential draft, depending on the outcome of the pending conflict.

The 100,000 soldiers in the area have not been given orders to move yet and will remain in their position.

The casualty report stated that over 15,000 Grestonian Infantry Units died from the initial bombing and the gasses released. Comminques were thrown back a forth and declarations of war have been made by all sides including declarations made by Nova Pictavia, British Londinium, Akimonad, and Anagonia among many.

Presidency delivers speech to United Federal Parliament on Scatovian Crisis

President Sir Jerry Striker speaks his mind and denounces His Majesty and Emperor of the Urcean Roman Empire.

The Peaceful and Most Honorable Sir Jerry Striker delivered a forty-five minute long speech and summary to the United Federal Parliament on the Scatovian Border Crisis involving The Dae Jaeguk of Fordreich and, the once allied with, Urcean Empire. After a falling out with fellow Corporate Alliance members and the official resignation from the alliance by Batther the CA was no longer welcomed by the Grestonian goverment.

The terror strikes made upon the capital and Parliament shortly after the resignation was blamed on the CA leaving the CA on bad terms with the new installation. The Razorlian bombings was thought to be the end of it but today President Striker stated, "Letting them attack us at our home with out punishment is like letting a theif mug and beat its victim then let it run off. We cannot stand for such heresy and such things must be dealt with."

"It will only be a slap on the wrist," ensured the head of the Imperial Grestonian Army (IGA), General John Chamberhill, when interviewed after the Striker speech, "Striker simply wishes to install peace and propaganda with those two while closing up old wounds at the same time."

After the speech Rosworth Port found it unusually active as a ragtag fleet of 10 Seastabber class battleships and 15 Hermin class cruisers gathered up and gear up for deployment. To that note a total of 900,000 Infantry Units and a total of 500,000 Jaguar main battle tanks were readied for deployment as well.

"Let them fight eachother, let them stain their earth of ridiculous disputes, but let them be grateful when a Grestonian hand reaches out and picks them back up. We will strike a dreadful blow to the CA with this if they are called in, they will feel the pain that they once wreaked upon innocents."

NASSAU, PS - Nassau Harbor has transformed from a normally tranquil offshore shipping hub into a bustling nexus of activity as military transports from all across Piccavia amass and reorganize for further deployment to Britzkium, a former British Londinian colony expropriated to the Commonwealth by the Mediterranican Union.

With the vast array of weaponry and hardware being loaded on the amphibious assault craft, one might think that a military offensive is being prepared. However, the guns and artillery are loaded with what amounts to giant paintballs, as wargames between Greston and Piccavia are scheduled to begin later this week within Britzkium.

The Defense Commissariat refused to comment on the specifics of the operation, but disclosed that the forthcoming operations would be a "step forward" for inter-regional relations as well as Greston's integration with the greater Mediterranican Union.

Massacre of allied state, British Londinium, by Enemy Coalition causes major rethinking of entire situtation.

After the attempted reclaimation of once Londinion, but now Akimonadi, city, Fitzrovia, the British Londinion race found itself on his knees praying as volleys of nuclear armamants rained down upon their nation from the Enemy Coalition states.

"It is a grave loss for not only Greston but the Mediterranica as a whole," stated Head Premier Sir John Gutted on during a speech he delivered to the Parliament. "Such a loss can make a deep wound into a body of people, a wound that won't soon go away," he continued to say during the conference, "War is like a very contaigous disease; it is spreads quickly and is very dangerous, it's symptoms are death, pain, and anguish and it's only cure is peace."

In honour of their brave death and rebelliousness a new National Monument is going underway construction. It depicts two angels (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/11344/11344-h/illustrations/1b.png) on each side of an entrance that leads out to a large court featuring the main stone figure.

A man, dressed as a Roman, stands on the marble holding with his right hand up to the air, pointed towards the heavens marking where the Londinion civilians currently sit. The petistal has marble makings of a warrior; for the Londinions bravery in resisting Havenic forces; a women with a newborn child on her; showing the Londinion's way of peace and love; a scholar; for throughout of all of Londinion history they have survived with their intelligence; and of a young man; showing how through almost anything that was thrown at them they survived in some way.

The angels at the entrance depict peace and war, two things iof which British Londinion has seen a lot of.

The monument was built in the hopes that people will reconize how the Havenic forces gathering in the Med are the true tyrants. But despite how Greston is in mourning, the government and military are still on the move. The Grestonian United Armed Forces has been put on high alerts after the second Londinion home has been turned into a nuclear wasteland as well.

Covering Story: The Grestonian Massacre...


"Hello, this is Jason Ortegaz of the Dephirian News Network with a special news bulletin! Just a few hours ago, a Grestonian Newscast announced the plans to build a statue in memorial of the British Londiniumites, or whatever the bloody hell they are called, lost in the massacre of said nation. However, after much discussion and lost lunches by not only the High Commander and his staff, but of the entire nation as a whole, High Commander Mr. Rhinestaff, as he is known only as, has condemned and suspended the nation of Greston from the Alliance of Defensive and Aggressive Nations (ADAN) and is moving towards having said nation expelled for life from ADAN. With this expulsion will come an aggressive invasion all in the name of defacing or more rather destroying the statue for which Greston plans on erecting. When asked for comment, the High Commander simply stated, 'go to hell', we assume he was speaking directly against Greston. However, when we spoke to Supreme Commander Damien Bael, he gave us a little insight as to what to expect from the Dephirian side, 'We are going to send pretty much every bloody f***ing thing we have at the Greston s***heads to hopefully force those idiots to ever stop thinking about building that stupid f***ing statue in honor of that bloody wank of a nation [British Londinium]'.

Upon further investigation from our team, we have begun to speculate that the Dephirian military is on the increase of size and strength. Four hundred million civilians are being converted into building a new class of tank, the Necros, as well as providing sufficient logistics for the military. One hundred and fifty thousand Nakil-class tanks are being sent to Greston, and should all arrive within the next ten months or so as well as the entire Yamato Fleet, ships taken after the Yamato design. There are also several thousand aircraft being prepped for war. Of course, as we have yet to mention, the number of active soldiers has nearly tripled in the past few days following the rumors of continued support from Greston of British Londinium. Total Estimates have yet to be released to us, but our rough estimates are in the tens of millions.

Oh! This just in! The High Commander has asked us to switch this broadcast to be international! Plus, he has a special message aimed for Greston. It reads:

Dear Greston Leadership,

I had warned you about showing your respect and admiration for such failures as British Londinium, and you will pay for such disrespect against myself and your allies and friends in the ADAN. You have under twenty-four hours to disregard all plans to show respect for this 'British Londinium', or I will give the order to have your entire nation sunk and a statue erected over the sea that would be created depicting of a Dephirian pissing on said sea. Compromises are open, of course, but may result in a more severe punishment if you do not comply. Thank you.

With that message, well spoken if I do say so myself, said, we leave you now. Good night Dephire!"

Sir Isaac Willings declaring state of war between Greston and Urcea

The Court of Crowns Parliament delivered its official declaration; state of war exists between the Urcean Empire and Grestonian Empire.

The Court of Crowns Parliament, a part of the Judicial Branch which votes and acts as a Parliament but for Judicial reasons, declared that, qoute, "Such an action must be met with an action of the same degree and that a state of war is inevitable at this moment."

This came after the gathering of forces to possibly be deployed to the situtation occured. "It was only a matter of time before either side burst wide open," explained Head Premier Sir John Gutted, "the international community is to moralistic to watch as a much larger nation does such deeds to such a small one."

The word of possible aid from Ryou forces takes the Commonwealth a step back though. "Such disgusting, warmongering pigs can't be of any help in a war against imperialism," stated Colonel Roger Thachet, the highest ranking infantry officer deployed to the Ryou Roman War, the most major Grestonian success. "We may have to shoot at both sides," stated the prestigous General Sir John Chamberfeild, "Ryous to the left, Urceans to the right, this is like taking the Pictavian Consul, placing a shoot me sign on his back, and placing him six feet away from a Jaguar MBT!"

However, the Grestonian Republic still finds its way on a path to war with Urcea and their Imperialism and and we shall not be stopped.

"This is, once again, Jason Ortegaz reporting for DNN. In a rather flattering manner, the Grestonian government has ceased all plans of constructing the monument spoken of in an earlier broadcast. The armed forces, grudgingly, turned back for the Dephirian bases as well as all super-production was cut in half. Peace may be knocking at the doorstep of the Dephirian people, but the grudge still rests in our stomachs, and our minds. Until such declaration of war should arise, Dephire will remain at peace mode. Well, that is all for tonight! Good night Dephire!"

Gatawayan and Aschenhyrstian forces assualt Grestonian colonies in anger.

In a completely unexpected turn, long time allies Aschenhyst and Gataway coordinate a timely slaughter of Grestonian colonies. Entire towns in West Serstabele were wiped off of the map from the bombing and firecombing. Gatawayan troop personel made a failed attempt to land on Grestonian territory, but AA artillery in the area held their planes at bay.

The Imperial Serstabele Colony Army was on high alert, sending four brigades to meet any Gatawayans that could possibly land. At the same time, the Grestonian Imperial Navy forces in the area were sending waves of attacks to push back all of the Imperial Gatawayan military units situated in attacking Greston.

Widlst colonial and crown forces in Serstabele combatted bloodthirsty Gatawayans, marines and naval assets on the center Corslak island used up very littled effort to defend from attacking enemy troops.

After the news of the attacks reached the offices of fellow LION members, the Commonwealth of Piccavia took a proactive approach and made an injunction against the attacks upon our land.

The Nation of Waldenburg pledges suppourt and holds peacetalks.

During the surpise attacks upon our Mediterrancian colonies, the only nation not affiliated with LION, within the Mediterranica, to pledge suppourt to the Imperial Republic was the most glorious nation of Waldenburg. Waldenburg has always had close standings with Greston and is currently the nation that former president, John S. Batther, resides within.

The Mediterranican Union International Zone was was breached by Waldenburger Special Operation Forces which kidnapped the MU Security Council after evacuating all Waldenburger staff. At the same time, Lord Sumguy, the elected emperor of Lord Sumguy and Hegemon of the Hegemony alliance, was kidnapped and brought to Bad Amberg Castle where peace talks will be held.

Foreign Affiars Minister Michael Richardson as well as Deputy Attorney General Charles W. Morgan and secretary staff will be attending said meaning in the hopes to end the war by ceasing Operation Burning Canapes and have the dissolution of the dreaded Hegemony.

Covering Story: Mediterranican Union strikes at LION

Easen under attack, Waldenburgers detonate work in progress of six years.

With yet another unexpected turn, the Waldenburgers revieled their real colours and arrested the delegates in attendance to the so called peace conference. The government came out with such a theory when Foreign Affairs Minister Michael Richardson did not fill out his daily update. The thoughts were proven when the Liegstung government issued a message to Greston and LION members of the attack on their Eisenite Naval Storefront by Waldenburger marines and ships. The entirety of the Mediterranican Union has taken a turn for the worst and attacked Greston. Their preemptive strikes were to commit terrorist acts within Easen, the capital. The giant work in progess, the Waldenburger Holy Church of St. Stephen, was used as an inceniary bomb and completely destroyed the church and nearby items.

The main members of the union, Yallak, Aschenhryst, Gataway, and Waldenburg formed a coalition to attack the Grestonian proper. Aschenhrystian forces have taken a turn to close in on eastern territory such as Slyvmyrston and Mier. Yallakian forces are coming up through the Neuvan Sea to strike Grestonian naval assets while Waldenburger forces have moved into the Victorian Straight to hit cities like Easen, Jast, and Lyreston.

To retaliate, task forces have been sent out to defend the Grestonian claims across Mediterranica. Bases in Serstabele and Corslak are on the uprise with the notice of the enemy movement.

Multi step assualt upon Mediterranican Union holdings carrier out.

In reaction to the heavy deployment against Greston by the Mediterranican Union, four task forces were deployed across the region to wreak havoc upon their designation territory. The attack was carried out around three in afternoon by two prestigeous Commodores, Commodore Thomas Phillip Parker and Commodore Matther H. E. Hayes. The two commodores commandeered the GMNS Leopard, a sleak Davidson-class suppercarrier, and the GMNS Centuar, a Hermin-class battlecruiser, and accompanied by forty top of line B2Spirit bombers, from Serstabele, they attacked and succesfully destroyed the Mediterranican Union International Zone.

The attack on the MUIZ was carried out by Task Force 4 out of a total of four task forces dispersed throughout Mediterranica.

Future attacks are planned to be carried out over Aschenhrystian and MU Colonial holdings. An ongoing assualt is the small battle over the Isthmatian Canal, a project that cost billions of Aschenhyrst Dollars to create. To attack and destoy the canal would be a small project on our part, costing no more than ten thousand marbles.

A victory over the canal would make the Aschenhyrstians loose billions of dollars as well as a way for the MU to quickly move from across around the landmass.

Covering Story: Federal Parliament Passes Law 1406

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/04/08/us/08petraeus8-600.jpg
Councilmen William Pellintell presents Bill 14077 to the Federal Parliament

A bill to ban Grestonian use of biological weapons has been passed.

A bill was presented the the Federal Parliament, issued from the AIMN Pact, that the Imperial Republic would limit it's use of biological weapons during the remainder of the fighting. The bill proposed that all biological and nuclear weapons were to be barred from use for the next year. Although, the bill did not bar the use of napalm and chemical weaponry; it did however limit the use of napalm to an impact rate of one 1 kg missiles per firecombing.

This bill came after the Humanitarian Act was put out, it was released in the hopes to ease the border hatred within the region. The passing of this bill shows to the rest of the Mediterranica and the Mediterranican Union that the Imperial Republic is not entirely against a cease of hostilities towards eachother.

William Pellintell stated during the presentation of this bill that, "If we can limit the death toll and destruction within a battle, we can limit the national hatred. With a lack of national hatred towards one another, perhaps this region to prosper."

The Federal Congressional Parliament embraced the proposal and with an almost unanimous decision to pass the law. However, once it reached the upper echelon of National Government within the Imperial Republic it was met with large opposition.

Lawrence Moore of the Conservative Republic Party stated during the voting on the bill that, "Passing this bill won't help us at all. This will only limit our chance at winning this war, this bill only bars our use of nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare, the MU will still use it upon us willingly."

Despite the opposition to the bill it was approved and passed up to President Striker who approved it and released it to the public.

Eurofighter Typhoon, launched off of the GMNS Davidson, flys to battle.

Forces from the Imperial Republic, Leistung, and Lord Sumguy continue the siege.

Operation Heraclae, the operation fondly come to be known as The Siege of Magna Polis, has come to it's final fazes. According to sources within the fleet, a constant volley of Tomahawks, BrahMos, and dumb bombs have been being launched upon Magna Polis.

The reports have been coming in succesful as the final ring was destroyed by Grestonian forces. With the destruction of the remaining defensive rings, it has been made possible for allied fleets to move in closer and target the city itself.

The ongoing air battle has made the Battle of Britain look like a little less then a pansyfest. The Imperial Forces attempted to faze the Orderian air existance by striking air ports. Orderian soldier and infantry positions have been pushed back to the final stages of defense, however, even with that small victory it is not expected that Magna Polis will fall any time soon.

But with that in mind, elections for the next Grestonian President will begin in five months, and many of the canidates stated that if they were to be elected they would end this war on the IFA. One can only hope that Striker can finish his mission before his term's end.

Covering Story: FFNAT Communist Revolt

Frederick Lansor projects to public his mission

Grestonian Politicians side with Communist Forces in Sevastopol

Recently the Fanboyist Federation of North Atlantic Territories has been waging a war of purging upon the communist parties and factions within the territory. After two failed attempts to erradicate the red presence in the Fanboyist Federation, they launched a third and final campaign, dubbed Operation Red Purge III. The turn out was amazing for the capitalist, IFA member state, the Fanboyists. However, despite the overwhelming suppourt, after taking most of the Crimean Penninsula, the tyranical forces were stopped and confronted as Sevastopol by a much more stable, organized communist defense.

This has led to numerous other prolaterian nations to run to the defense of this small, undermanned communist faction. One of those suppourters include Grestonian ally The Northern Baltic. It has been debated on Capital Square whether or not the Imperial Republic should suppourt this possible future sovereign state. It has been a fierce debate, such a move would leave the Imperial Republic's rear out to be beaten by extremely anti-communist nations, however at the same time possibly crippling yet another IFA nation.

After a week of debate, the vote is in and the Federal Grestonian Parliament, and the Imperial Republic herself, have agreed that we should aid this group to a place on world stage, through manners of diplomacy. Striker has made it known that he wishes to open upon a conference in Sevastopol, where, were they to become a nation, the capital would be held. Numerous delegations would be invited to attend, such as leading ranks from the Communist Faction, dignitaries from FFNAT, dignitaries from TNB, and number other nations.

To be disgussed at such a conference would be whether or not they should be granted sovereignty, as well as a possible cease fire and end of hostilities between the two groups. If passed the Imperial Republic would have adopted a small but costly child to be shared with The Northern Baltic.

Whether or not this was a good choice on behalf of the Striker Administration will be answered by future administations and governments.

A letter to the Editor;

Dear Mr. or Ms. Editor,

I would like to clarify an aspect of the information that you released in your recent article "Grestonian Politicians side with Communist Forces in Sevastopol."

Our government has not stated any intention of accepting autonomy or independence of the RBPA forces in Sevastopol; rather, we have offered them full amnesty for any crimes perpetrated under the insurgency (with the exception of war-crimes, as defined by international statute, and only where sufficient evidence has been found), the option of returning to normal life in the Federation, the opportunity to form a legitimately recognized political party, and equal protection under Federal law, all under the condition that they lay down arms and pledge to never again resort to violence.

I simply wished to clarify in the event that any might misunderstand our offer to the RBPA and misunderstand what we hope to accomplish, or any misconceptions about our nation.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Field Marshal Stanley Neniven,
Commanding Officer, 77th Task Force, Operation Red Purge III
Fanboyist Federal Army
