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.
