08 October 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 October 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 October 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". 29 September All services restoredThe government of Uller has recovered from nuclear war.
Today all services both marine and land have been restored and the last military curfew has been rescinded. Uller has temporarily ceased all hostilities in the current alliance conflicts and has entered a rebuilding mode. Interior Minister Hurkkurk reports the loss of 45% infrastructure and 52% total nation size.
The following announcements from the Ministry of Defense have been released for general distribution:
Information Minister Hideyoshi O'Leary assures the people of Uller that First Oracle Firkked has not suffered from radiation poisoning nor any other medical issues, he is merely meditating and communing for nearly 22 hours a day in an effort to find the best course for the nation and people of Uller.
21 September We interrupt this broadcastA message from First Oracle Firkked
Good citizens of Uller we have been suffering a grave crisis since we have joined in the military endeavours spanning the entire globe. For more than 6 months we built this nation on the premise of unity, harmony and disdain for the "politics of the mainstream" so prevalent in the nations we left.
There is a growing voice across all ranks in this nation that decry our war obligations to IRON, but I have been to the alliance halls and heard the praises of your sacrifices and heroism in the face of multiple enemies stronger than yourselves. Your actions, both civilian and military, have been an inspiration to our IRON brothers and sisters. I commend you in this.
We have been pledged aid both in the short term and in rebuilding this nation once these conflicts are resolved. Other nations belonging to IRON and associated alliances are committed to attacking the nations wreaking havoc on our land.
Many have lost loved ones, homes on our land and even peace of mind. I myself have suffered these losses: two brothers, the hut I built on my first day on Uller and many fine citizens that I was charged to protect and guide through life.
Through all this I remain steadfast in helping the nations of IRON in their struggle against The Unjust. With your continued support we will weather this storm and come out stronger than ever.
Thank you and goodnight,
Firkked. 20 September Attention all UlleransFirkked heads to IRON headquarters for aid
Early this morning our First Oracle and national leader boarded a high speed submersible bound for the IRON headquarters intent on lobbying for funds to help rebuild during this time of war and to seek military assistance to crush the vile nation of DFU4ever.
The nation's hope and survival depend on his success. War declared on nation of AmnesialabFenris news has finally been able to contact its field reporters embedded with the 43rd Mechanized Infantry after nearly two days of blackouts caused by the recent nuclear devastation.
In support of IRON military goals Firkked has directed troops to attack the nation of Amnesialab with the hope of helping end alliance hostilities through the destruction of this key enemy.
A firm beachhead was established on the first day with troops controlling key ports and airstrips almost immediately. Amnesialab's primary university and natural history museum was also captured along with two televison studios. By the second day enemy troops had rallied and began to beat back our forces, were it not for the timely intervention of fellow IRON miltary units from Martino and PE Shang many Ulleran soldiers would have been lost on foreign shores.
As it stands now our combined forces have put the enemy on a defensive rout with a possible end to hostilities in the near future. Emergency Broadcast of the Uller National Defense CouncilThree days ago we declared war on the nation of DFU4ever of the GOONS alliance that was about to slip into a peaceful period of rebuilding, whose most likely intention was to emerge after several days ready to cause mischief on our war-torn IRON brothers and sisters. The DFU4ever military decided to respond with nuclears missiles targeting our primary land based ports and airfields.
Ullerans are hereby directed to report to their aquatic habitats if they have not already done so, those in need of medical attention will be treated by the navy medical submersibles as identified by habitat medical computers.
Expect further nuclear attacks from this most heinous nation over the next several days. Use your emergency rations, be ready for naval assistance and stay in the water. Our nation is prepared for extended emergency situations such as these and your survival is the nation's top priority. 17 September News from the frontNeo Sparta Capitol under siege
Late last night the Ulleran army received a boost from the Haga National Marines and helped execute a breakthrough deep into enemy territory. The advance was sudden enough that the combined IRON armor reached Sparta, their capitol city. General Themistocles M'Zangwe addressed an impromptu news conference with the limited media embedment.
"With the help of the Haga Nationals the might of IRON is prepared to crush this nation" The General spoke forcefully "and our offer of standard surrender terms were rejected outright". It was stated that the war will continue to escalate over the next few days before a clear victory can be established and while casualties are expected the Ulleran people have prepared well for this critical period.
Attacks continued throughout the briefing, a sure indication that the heaviest fighting is yet to come.
The First Oracle, Firkked, has offered the services of the Ulleran nation as a R&R destination for IRON armed forces engaged across the Pacific rim. 16 September Uller goes to warYesterday the nation of Uller declared war against Neo-Sparta, a stooge of the GOON alliance. After successfully knocking out key radar installions with our cruise missile and eliminating key power and communications networks with our advanced airforce we attacked with an untried army and suffered sharp losses. A distinct and vocal minority began a peace vigil outside the Oracle's temple.
Today we renewed our assault and our ground forces were victorious and have high hopes that over the next few days we retire this enemy from ever crossing IRON again. |
