21 octubre Live from FenrisNews Capsule for the week ending October 21st 2007
Firkked and General Von Schlichten have announced that the UJP war has been declared officially over with the Allies claiming victory. While Uller is still involved in a few conflicts worldwide, including the despised nation Republic of Dfu.
"These conflicts are minor but necessary" General Von Schlichten stated "The GOONS alliance showed no remorse in striking first with nuclear weapons in this war and we need to ensure that every last GOONS nation either surrenders or is disbanded into the dustbin of history". The general's statement also went on to address his personal and proffesional satisfaction at being able to engage the Republic of Dfu at the exact cusp before their nation must surrender or be disbanded "Our fallen soldiers and citizens have some final peace knowing this despicable nation will be truly neutralized for all time, their deaths will not have been in vain".
In other news the Ministry of Economics announced that they are following the IRON doctrine of "Improvement Swapping". This entails a period where no taxes are collected while all banks are replaced with public service labor camps, followed by the conversion of the labor camps back into banks to collect taxes. Eventually these bank-camps will also be converted in factories when the economic cycle dictates that Uller should build more infrastructure.
Hideoyoshi O'Leary, Minister of Information, has asked the Council of Oracles to expand the fledgling Intelligence services in an effort to keep current with other nations wordlwide "Our threat assessment team has noted several nations that are potentially hostile with advanced and well developed spy networks that can and will cause more damage to Uller than nuclear attacks we suffered duriong the UJP war" concluded the minister. The council, endorsed by Firkked responded by authorizing the expansion of Ministry offfices threefold with staffing and training levels promised to be increased over the coming weeks.
08 octubre Ulleran Travel AdvisoryTo all Ullerans abroad Hours ago three unidentified Ullerans were killed during a robbery turned sour in the Trousrville international airport. The victims were traveling to Holtburg in United for Smee as part of a disaster response training seminar booked days prior to the outbreak of hostilities with Diminitrix. Ministry of Information spokesman Kankad warned "If you're travelling abroad keep abreast of current events, if your itinerary takes you through a hostile country contact the nearest Ulleran embassy for assistance". Details are sketchy at this time, but it is being reported that several armed men attempted to hijack a government cash shipment routed through the public terminals and five security personnel and as many as a dozen civilians were killed or critically wounded in the attack. 05 octubre Ullerans open new war fronts!Armed forces attack 3 GOON nations.
Today General Von Schlichten announced new military actions against the GOON nations 51st state, Diminix and Thirteenth Reich. "Every one of these nations are currently demilitarized" said the Chief of staff "Yet they still remain a threat to IRON".
Hoping to prevent nations with enough infrastructure and technology from slipping into peacetime rebuilding the Ulleran military was called into action. Of particular note is the nation 51st state, by switching their declared alliance from GOON to TOON they hoped to avoid detection by the IRON military.
Conn Maxwell of the Ministry of Information reports that two Ulleran citizens were killed in the nation of Sancia while touring a nuclear power facility, the incident is under investigation but no foul play is suspected. The Sancian press is flooded with reports of surges in background radiation near nuclear weapon storage facilities nationwide, the two events appear to be unrelated at this time.
Fenris police arrested Victor Grego, founder of the anti-war group FishNotBullets, for inciting riots during the last military emergency. Law enforcement officials found several thousand anti-government pamphlets aimed at organizing and recruiting dissidents for the purpose of deposing the Oracles of Uller. There were also reports of large caches of weapons, cash and illicit narcotics on the Grego property. Mr Grego's lawyer, Leslie Coombes, was also taken into custody by the Ministry of Information for unrelated questioning. IRON Alliance recognizes Uller's war effortsUller awarded IRON Warrior award
Today representatives presented First Oracle Firkked with the prestigious "IRON Warrior" medal for his nation's actions against the GOONS nations DfU4ever, Les Invisibles and Veggeberg. This is the first public appearance by Firkked in over two weeks and Ullerans were relieved to see him in overall good health and spirits, although he did not address the assembled crowd and was hurried in and out by agents of the Information Ministry.
The Iron representative stated "This war is not over, there are still many GOONS with nuclear weapons" the crowd was warned "and Uller still has a vital role to play in this struggle". The representative went on to congratulate the Ullerans for there perseverance and generosity in general.
Peace demonstrators attempted to infiltrate the crowd but were removed by Information Ministry agents. Those removed were taken to ministry offices outside Fenris and were not available for interviews at this time. 03 octubre Rationing set to end tomorrowMinistry of Defense lifts last few impacts on civilian population
In a press conference earlier this morning Armed Forces Chief of Staff Carlos Von Schlichten formally returned all government functions back to the Ministries of Interior and Information. General transit between land and marine settlements will no longer require authorization, limits on fishing and the purchase of imported food are no longer applicable. Although curfews have been eliminated for over a week several organizations have expressed concern that assemblies are only now being allowed.
Once such gathering was PeaceDance.Org's impromptou picnic in Unity Park, just a few block from the Ministry of Defense's main building in Fenris. "We're just glad that things have returned to normal," said Henry Piper "perhaps now we can show the rest of Uller the importance of peaceful non-involvement in today's world". |
