The armed forces have increased to 1,500 infantry to help inforce the new laws against illegal drugs. They have been positioned at strategic security checkpoints to make sure that no illegal contraband gets into the nation.

.:Domestic News:.

Uberstein has canceled the Underwater Expansion Project, saying that at its current size, the underwater city is already expencive to maintain. "We shall simply dig down into the ground, it is much safer that way. An underwater city is much too easy to destroy." Baron Uberstein commented to our reporters.


OOC: I'm back in the saddle of News. :jihad:

New Law passed:

There is now a 22:00 (10pm) Cerfew in the Uberstein Empire. All not in their home by this time will be taken to a local police station and interogated.
"Freedom though Security! Security though Government!" Baron Uberstein shouted over the cheering crowds at the accouncement of the law. Meanwhile, the Public Security Advisor has announced Citizens who have served in the military longer than standard-service will be allowed to apply for a Past-Curfew Passcard.

Always remember fellow Citizens, you, who honorably gave State-Service, are respected by Uberstein, and he helps those he respects.

I thank you, building this nation on this hell of an island was not an easy task. It's -6 degrees underground here, but it does make it easier to refridgerate crops and fish. My scientists even found a way to make the coils of the refrigeration units heat up the underground bunkers.

ooc: Better living though a loose understanding of thermodynamics.

The Uberstein Empire's economy has sadly stopped its massive growth. It has not dropped, but flatlined, meaning we only earn a total of 20k per day. Measures are being made to fix this.

The people of the PDSAR are very curious to know as to how tanks can halt drug smuggling...or why tanks are needed to fight drug dealers And if drugs are a big problem in BaronUberstein land, they are more than welcome to just collect the packages and send it the PDSAR's way- we love $20 Mars trips...

No nightclubs? No parties? No 24 hour bhang shops? No beach side raves?!?!?!?!?!?!

How do your citizens entertain themselves then? And btw- was this curfew due to a specific terroristic act, or just the handiwork of right wing moralists claiming that movement after dark encourages "immoral traficking" or something? The PDSAR would be interested to know, if it's not too much trouble....

If they try to drive away, we blow their vehical up with the tank. They are only stationed on road-stations, we have ground troops to check the rural areas.

Also, it keeps the tank crews from just sitting there all day, now they have a job to do while on duty.

Muggings and other illegal acts happen mostly at night, so I personally ordered the curfew for my citizen's safety. Also, I would like to know how a beach-rave works when its -10 degrees.

As reported earlier, Citizens, but not Civilians, can apply for a Curfew-Exempt pass if they have done military service.

Good one, caught me off guard. I didn't check your map. Yeah, beach side raves would prolly give a case of mass frostbite. Well, warehouses could work??

Interesting point of view, actually, the same rules were applied with the same reasoning in pre-PDSAR South Asia. Theft isin't a problem in the PDSAR because finding a spare AK is easier than finding drinking water lol.

Anyways, how are your citizens, especially the younger ones- coping with the curfew? And how easy is it to get one of them passes? Do you have long processing & waiting periods, etc., to get them or are they given out seamlessly on spot?

The passes are given to Citizens, not civilians, who have served in the military for at least 2 years. They go though extencive backround checks and all the same tests one takes to be allowed to carry a firearm.

A tourist could not get a pass, nor could a civilian. You have to be a civilian for at least 10 years, then do state-service for at least 2 years to become a 2nd class Citizen, 5 years+ to become a 1st Class Citizen.

The younger ones are coping with the curfew fine, if they have a problem with it, I suggest they do their state service.

OOC: Nice Starship Troopers touch there.

IC: Arctica has been out of the loop for a while, instead deciding to focus on internal strength and growth. Our leader remembers Baron Uberstein from the previous summer, as both were present in Emperor Justinian's palace in July when it was attacked.

Arctica questions the identity of this new Baron Uberstein and challenges him to prove he is not an impostor. We also question the wisdom and morality of these curfews and self-serving citizenship programs.

I have nothing to prove to you, but the fact that I still own my original zeppelin should be enough evidence. I escaped Russany as those ungratefull worms tried to hang me, blaming ME for the economic collapse. Russangrad has turned into a war zone without me, the Red Bear Complex II is out of contact, and I am all that carries on Russany's legacy of power.

I remember you at the ball too, I was the one who shut down the primary server. I invite you to my empire if you truely do not think I am Baron Uberstein.

I made the Curfew and Citizenship Programs because I need those who actually have power to be loyal. Civilians are unloyal natives and immigrants, they hold no reason to follow me. Now Citizens, they have served me, the State, they have PROVEN their loyalty, and shall reap its rewards. But those who stay as Civilans will have restrictions put upon them for my Empire's stability!

It's fine. Arctica has no business meddling in your country's affairs. We were simply curious.

Very well, though my invite still stands.

The Uberstein Navy has blockaded the USSS's northern ports.

Join the Uberstein Navy today! Serve under the seas, hidden from the enemy!

Economic Stability!

After hard work, the Uberstein Empire has reached proper economic stability.

[BaronUberstein]

Economy grows! (bump)

New Chemical Anti-Riot Agent enters Uberstein Police Forces

A new chemical, named M5, has been developed in the Uberstein Imperial Labs. It causes:
-Burning feeling in the eyes
-Burning feeling on the skin
-Ichy feeling in the hair
-Short Term blindness (if exposed for long periods of time)


A diagram showing what a riot-control trooper would look like

The agent is a "dry" agent, emerging as a cloud instead of a wet spray.

Remember Citizens, loyalty is rewarded!

Assassin attempts to kill Uberstein!

Today a terrorist from the crushed empire of Russany, attempted to kill Uberstein with a Desert Eagle pistol. The bullet dented Uberstein's helmet, who crashed though the glass door of his balcony. Uberstein then steadied himself, grabbed the fallen curtain rod, and threw it like a javlin though the assassin.

Uberstein gave this speech a mere hour later, "Citizens, today a man thought that I could die from a mere bullet. He made a mistake, for Uberstein is bulletproof, for no bullet can pierce hardened WILLPOWER! Today, I have ordered that Russangrad shall be crushed, no man, woman, or child left alive in that city! I will not permit this insult from the days of ancient Russany to taint this Empire! We WILL be VILIGENT against these pathetic, crude, BARBARIANS!" Chants of "Long live Uberstein, the Invincible!" were heard thought the city for several hours.

The assassin is currently being treated for a massive gut wound, and will soon be interogated. Uberstein himself is reviewing his palace's layout to find out how the terrorist got in.

The Uberstein Airforce has begun bombing the war-torn and terrorist-run city of Russangrad*, a land campaign is being concitered.


OOC:

Uberstein's helmet also uses bulletproof plexiglass lens to see out of

*For those who remember, I used to run Russany. Well, economic collapse caused the civilians of Russangrad to revolt, and they tried to kill Uberstein for years of unkept promises. He escaped in his airship with a handfull of loyalists, and started an empire in Svalbard.

Leveling an entire city and its inhabitants for the bullet of one man? You have changed.
