Contact them and ask them to stop imperialism over Italian islands, if you really wish to end this peacefully, even if we highly doubt that. In our eyes, you are just trying to find excuses to expand your borders, ignoring all the achievements we reached and depicting us as invaders while you should all thank us for what we did in Somalia. Rebel Army is a member of this imperialist coalition masked as an anti-colonial treaty, but let's suppose we are so stupid we can't see the game behind this parody of a treaty. Alright we were very bad kids, and now we agree with you colonialism is bad: Leave Italian land, and we will leave African land. Simple as it is. Whatever your choice is remember: the Colonial Police is not equipped with toy guns.. and don't talk about how long Rebel Army controlled those islands.. we have been here in Italian Somalia for more than 2 months.. we see what you did there, you went like this: "Is not colonialism when WE do it"

Let us rephrase that: Since 2005, there have been many declared governments in Italy, but only one nation ever considered itself "Italian" and actually in control of the Peninsula without overlapping another country's dimension : The Repubblica Italiana (Our official name is in Italian, because we are Italian, and we speak Italian), established un June 2009. Also, stop arguing over such irrelevant details and, if you can, try to comment the real issue.

Official Communique of the Italian Government We will leave somalia only if one condition is accepted. Since this whole debate is over Colonialism and foreign influence over Somalia, our toughts can't go nowhere but to Sicily and Sardinia, two fully Italian islands under administration of a middle-eastern government centered around Israel. We ask that Sicily and Sardinia are returned to their rightful owners - the true, only Italian nation ever existed since 2005, the Italian Republic. If this request is met, we will leave Italian Somalia and leave all our improvements intact. And if this is a real struggle against imperialism and colonialism and European influence over the African continent, then we see no reason why this request shouldn't be met. After all, Sicily and Sardinia are not middle eastern or african, and if we have no right to control Somalia, the they have no right to control Sicily and Sardinia.

Just because you don't know how to make it possible, doesen't mean we don't.

This is irrelevant to the issue. They said its impossible to have 0% unemployment unless there is a socialist government, and we confirm that Italian fascism is just a third way. Nazism, Fascism, Communism - they are variants of socialism, and Italy, therefor, is a socialist country intended as a nation oriented towards social policies and improvements rather than the profit of private multi national companies

Italy, and therefor Italian Somalia, was fascist and fascism is just a shortcut of fasci-socialism, socialism centered around Italian Nationalism and the Roman heritage.. with an economical system that can be described as third way between capitalism and socialism. Italy is not a free market country, not entirely. So is Italy a socialist country? According to the afromentioned logic the answer is: Yes, Italy is a socialist country, because social policies are always a priority and they will always have an advantage over private enterprise.

Official Communique from the Italian Government Before taking such a drastic decision (leaving the colony) we want to open a full debate on the issue. We will take and answer any criticism from any nation regaring our administration, but we would like to point out some facts, proven by statistics. Did we occupy Somalia and established an Italian colonial government? Yes, we did. Did we romanized the lifestyle of Somalians, teaching Latin and Italian in schools, including our history and our traditions, trying to replace tribal culture with a more developed society? Yes, we did. Did our social and infrastructural improvements brought significant changes in the life (both public and private) of the Somalian region, improving the wealth and living standard of the Somali people as a whole? Yes, they did. List of improvements built in Mogadiscio since the occupation: 1. Headquarter of the Polizia Coloniale della Somalia Italiana (Colonial Police of Italian Somalia) 2. Banca Nazionale della Somalia Italiana (National Bank of Italian Somalia) 3. Clinica "Junio Borghese" (Junio Borghese Clinic) 4. Industrial district of Mogadiscio (Number of employees: 2500, whose salaries make them capable of paying rents and bills in state-owned flats as state-housing is widely common in both Italy and Italian Somalia) 5. Stadio "Generale Junio Borghese" ("General Junio Borghese" Stadium) 6. Università della Somalia Italiana (University of Italian Somalia) 7. Scuola "Generale Junio Borghese" ("Junio Borghese" School) Number of bullets shot since our arrival in Somalia? Zero Number of deaths caused by the Italian military in Somalia? Zero Number of political prisoners in Italian Somalia? Zero Percentage of Somali people in the Colonial Government? 100%, excluding Junio Borghese who is de-jure Head of State, but de-facto the country is entirely controlled by the Colonial Government Percentage of unemployment? 0% Child mortality rate before the occupation? 110 / 1000 Child mortality rate as of December 2009? 3 / 1000 Name any country that has brought such changes and improvements to Somalia Are we the imperialist monsters you angrily depict in all of your statements? I'll let you answer this question. Aren't you happy to see, for the first time ever, a peaceful and totally stabilized Somalia? We accept the apologies and withdraw any of our statements and diplomatic actions against Carthage, mistakes happen even in such tense situations and we probably over-reacted over a mistake we should have spotted before taking any action, we also send apologies to the Government of Carthage and renew the friendship and cooperation that has tied our people more than one time in the past. Signed President Junio Borghese

Response from the staff of the Office of the President: Would you let robbers and rapists live in your room?

Response from the staff of the Office of the President: They are declaring war because they are too dumb to use diplomacy... "Violence, is the weapon of the stupid.."

The Italian Republic will not forget this, if this is your response after our expeditionary force in defense of Carthage and our hospitality when your Government and your King had no home to reside, then the whole Carthaginian diplomatic staff is hereby expelled from Italy, they will be escorted to the airport where they will take the first flight to Carthage.

Official Communique of the Italian Government Fascist ways were abandoned one month ago in all the Republic and its oversea colony and the process of democratization is taking place in every corner of the nation. Right now, the ballots for the election of a Constituent Assembly, with a discreete regional representation for Italian Somalia, are being supervised by the Colonial Govermment. In the elective process, natives are not only allowed to vote, but also to run for the election of the Governor General of Italian Somalia, an election that will take place right after Italian General elections. Accusing Italy of taking away the freedom of the Somali people is not only a lie, but an insult to the Somali people themself. The Somali people are happy and enjoy an unprecedented wealth in their country which has been granted more autonomy and sovereignty since the major changes in the italian political system. De facto, Italy is a parliamentary republic, a multi party state, where personal freedoms and human rights are fully recognized and guaranteed by the Constitution. We would like to point out how Italian rule has transformed this anarchist wasteland into the most economically prosperous and advanced nation of the Horn of Africa, and if the Mechodamian States think we are brutal criminal, they are either retarded or unaware of the situation in Italian Somalia. Here we see the true colours of the war-keeping liberators, who bring death and destruction in civilized lands, with the excuse of exporting democracy and freedom, while they are themself, the parody of a pseudo-democracy. The Italian administration brought peace and civilization in a land known for its lawlessness and stateless reality. The Italian Government built clinics, schools, police stations, universities, factories, roads, infrastructures and improved the life of all the Somali People. At present, the population of Italian Somalia is estimated around 7000, and the only semi-militarized force are the officers of the Colonial Police of Italian Somalia, and the majority is made of native somalis who joined the force to grant a future to their families and their children. If you attack this undefended land, inhabitated by civilians and honest workers who are still committed to build a better society, you will commit a crime, and you will be responsible for the death of innocent people. You are the real criminals, mobilizing tens of ships and hundred thousands of men, for a 7000 men nation, defended by roughly 500 officers of the Colonial Police, you are either retarded, or you lack of a decent intellience agency to find out this colony has nothing to do with fascism and dictatorship. The Somali people didn't ask your intervention. Signed Junio Borghese

OOC: This war is not happening ingame, and if i roleplay a non-ig war it's because it was previously agreed and pre-planned, over and out. EDIT: I will, HOWEVER roleplay the pression and eventually a blockade for the sake of roleplay (and because it's out of my sphere of influence). But i will not recognize any unprovoked armed invasion.

OOC: When Centurius and Cataduanes roleplayed a blockade, i successfully gathered enough international support (Ingame $$$ and political support in CNRP) to make them lift the blockade. When Sargun was attacked ingame by a rogue nation, i sent 2000 IG soldiers to his nation . I specified regional superpower. Also, how many non-superpowers landed on the moon?

Confirmed! Also one thing, the name of my country is "Repubblica Italiana" not "Republica Italiana"

OOC: I wasn't supposed to make a new post :s i clicked the wrong botton, sorry

LUNA (Moon) -The astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface nearly 60 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Alis Aquilae II landing craft. Maurizio Cheli had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing with the words: "Urbe, Alis Aquilae due qui. L'Aquila è atterrata." (Rome, Alis Aquilae two here. The Eagle has landed). As he put his left foot down first Cheli declared: "I'm hungry!" He described the surface as being like mozzarella and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep. The historic moments were captured on television cameras installed on the landing craft and turned on by Cheli. Cheli spent his first few minutes on the Moon taking photographs and soil samples in case the mission had to be aborted suddenly. He was joined by colleague Franco Malerba and the two collected data and performed various exercises - including jumping across the landscape - before planting the Tricolour flag. They also unveiled a plaque bearing General Junio Borghese's signature and an inscription reading: "Here the People of Rome set foot upon the Moon. 5th December 2009 AD. Per aspera sic itur ad astra." After filming their experience with a portable television camera the astronauts received a message from General Junio Borghese. Borghese, in the Quirinal Palace, spoke of the pride of the Italian people and said: "Italy has no limits." The Comment "The day a superpower is born" Here comes Europe's newest superpower. The rest of the continent is gloomily contemplating war and conflict. Not in Rome. Italy is set to make December the month it asserts its status as a continental colossus by flexing frightening economic muscle on international markets, enjoying unprecedented levels of domestic consumption and showcasing itself to a watching world with a landing on the Moon. The nation marked today its 6th months of independence that confirmed its transformatio from one of the poorest countries of the 21th century into one of the most growing economies of the world. The continent will feel the full power of the new superpower's confidence. This month, Italy's state-controlled banks funded a 30.000.000€ space program. General Junio Borghese, said: "Italy has become a regional player much more quickly than it would have wanted to do, in part to meet its need for foreign investment. But we don't have any intention of taking on other regional powers. Stability is important to Italy in this stage of its development as it seeks inward investment. But that is beginning to be much less important and it is looking more to the development of a strong Europe, in which it is one of the strongest players because of its enormous political strenght." But while some may question Italy's political motives, there is no doubt that Italy has arrived as serious power-broker. Last months, it surpassed Molakia. It is also widely predicted to overtake Dalmatia. While nearly all of its success since Junio Borghese began Italy's economic transformation in June 2009 has been driven by producing goods for the outside world, the country has a burgeoning urban middle-class whose insatiable appetite for consumer durables is hoped to put the economy on a more stable footing. One Milan-based luxury markets analyst said: "The Italians are waking up to quality brands in a way that is quite exciting. There is a real sense that what the rich world once kept to itself is now available to them, or at least the urban few who can afford it."

ROMA - Republic Day, celebrated throughout Italy, marks the establishment of Republican Italy, which took place on in the first week of June 2009 when bands of fascisti and other ultra nationalist coalitions rose up and seized control of the country. As the capital of Italy, Rome is where celebrations are biggest and Republic Day involves a parade led by President General Junio Borghese in Empire Street. There are also various locally organised minor and not-so-minor events throughout the city including open days at museums, speeches and ritual ceremonies. Rome, Milan or Florence, the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Chianti and the backdrop to some of the world’s greatest love stories, Italy is renowned for its wealth of 3000 years old history, spanning from the early years of Rome to present days, latin culture and romantic settings. Frescoes dating back to the late-15th century in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, the maze of streets and canals in Venice or Rome’s classical heritage. Nowhere combines acient classical ruins with the delights of the Baroque like Rome, which contains within it another state altogether: the Vatican. The city, founded by Romulus and the seat of the Roman Empire, was built on seven hills and is bisected by the river Tiber. Rome is the great artistic treasure trove of Europe, largely thanks to Catholicism, which has been a magnificent patron. As a centre of pilgrimage, the city’s churches had to amaze the masses and the greatest artists of the Renaissance were employed to do so. Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Raphael and Bernini are just four of the masters who have left behind masterpieces in churches all over the city. Italians celebrate 6th months of independence and soveeignty, and open their pluri-millenarian cultural heritage to the masses.

Heir to Mussolini’s fascists, but now considered part of Italy’s reformist "constitutional arc", General Junio Borghese has succeeded in turning his nation into an avowedly post-fascist republic, which has won a legitimate and increasingly successful place among today’s political scene. Much of this new-found legitimacy comes from a new liberal orientation but also a refusal to ally itself with the more extreme interventionist democracies of the east. Six months ago, the Italian Republic’s constitution (approved in 1948) was suspended after the state coup. The forces that enacted the coup were the ultra nationalist political groupings and the groups which had been active in the post-Gebiv era, and together these made up what was known as the "Borghese Revolution". In other words, the republic was born fascist and anti-interventionist, and considered Gebiv as the only legal and honourable predecessor of the Italian Republic as is structured today. Two significant factors have combined to make the development of the Italian Nation difficult in Europe: the collapse of Nordland, which left Italy sorrounded by anti-fascist, pseudo-democratic countries; and the decisions taken by General Junio Borghese to adopt isolationist policies. As a result, with the exception of Transvaal, Deutschland, Bavaria (now Austria), Tahoe, the Rheinmark and Carthage, Italy was denied the possibility of developing extended diplomatic relations that have characterised other European countries. It thus chose to transform itself into a "Bullwark against democratic-fundamentalism" within the post-nord countries - unlike the situation in France, Spain and Croatia where the governments heavily criticized Italy and threatened military actions more than one time. For some time in Italy, the real shield was effectively the well developed technology market. Technology importers who bought Italian technology also guaranteed Italy's independence, and defended their economical interests against anti-fascist forces. This explains why Italy was for a long time tied with the major economical super powers, guaranteeing the sovereignty of a country which remained locked in diplomatic isolation for 6 months. However, with the decline and subsequent collapse of anti-Borghese sentiments, Junio Borghese found himself with a new freedom of choice other than political repression and diplomatic isolation. It was at that point that a reformist section of the Fascist Party identified with in the neo-liberal and indirectly democratic ideals.

ROMA - Thousands of Italians went to polling stations across the country today to elect a Constituent Assembly. The 55,825 voters in Italy will choose 100 assembly members out of 500 candidates, local media said. Among the 100 assembly seats, 80 will be given to regional representatives, 15 to nationwide representatives and the rest 5 to representatives of Italian overseas. The election, kicked off at 7 a.m. local time, is the first in 4 years in Italy. After the vote, the new body will start work on January 1 and will have 30 days -- a mandate that can be extended by another 30 days -- to write a new constitution. The creation of the assembly was initiated by General Borghese, who said the assembly was a key component to make Italy a more just country.

ROMA - The two leading Italian nationalist political blocs have joined forces to run in January's Constituent Assembly election. The mainly Partito Fascista Repubblicano and Movimento Sociale Italiano-Destra Nazionale announced in a statement today that they will now form the new Movimento Nazionale Italiano (Italian National Movement, MNI). The new group said that its aim is to create a political environment that attempts to promote better state institutions. They also said that the objective of the new coalition is to build the armed forces as part of a framework to impose the law. Roberto Ciano, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Governor General of Italian Somalia, is the secretary general of the MNI. Italy is scheduled to hold a Constituent Assembly election on January 1.

The Roman Empire at its greatest extent ROMA - They were digging the foundations of a new multi-storey car park under the Vatican. But what the bulldozers uncovered was an ancient world of the dead - a Roman necropolis, or burial site, dating back to the time of Christ. Since then the excavations have brought to light more than 200 tombs, arranged on multiple levels and in remarkable condition. In addition to funerary inscriptions they have uncovered a wide assortment of statues, vases, terracotta urns, coins and skeletons. The burial site paints a complex picture of life and death in ancient Rome and for the first time gives archaeologists a valuable insight into the life of lower- and middle-class Romans. Some of them were simple artisans, buried with clues to their trade. In the tomb of a set designer for Pompey's theatre, there are the symbols of a compass and a T-square. Urns, vases and statues were discovered during the excavation. There are the tombs of a letter carrier, a circus horse trainer and a slave who was freed and later rose to a respected position in the household staff of the Emperor Nero. But they have also uncovered skeletons of paupers, possibly slaves, who were buried without names and in simple wooden caskets. "We found a little Pompeii of funeral life, " said Giulio Martini, head of the Vatican Museums' classical antiquities department. "We have had the mausoleums of Hadrian and Augustus," Mr Martini said. "But in Rome we are short of these middle- and lower-class burial places." In some parts of the necropolis lie the tombs of much wealthier Romans. Some of them are complete with ornate funeral altars. The inscriptions help to fill out family trees and they provide an important insight into daily life. There is the sarcophagus of a male member of ancient Rome's class of knights, who died as a teenager and was remembered in death with a sculptured figure with hands outstretched as if in prayer. The kind of figure known as an orante was widely taken as an early symbol of Christianity. Before archaeologists could begin the excavation, they had to clear tons of dirt and rock. In the second century there had been a landslip on the hill which helped preserve some of the tombs. Black-and-white mosaic flooring was unearthed depicting Dionysus, an ancient god of fertility and wine, along with a grape harvest scene. It has all been carefully restored in the Vatican Museums' laboratory and placed back in its original location. From specially constructed walkways, visitors can look down on the skeletons, including that of an infant buried by loved ones who left a hen's egg beside the body. The egg, whose smashed shell was reconstructed, was either a play thing or perhaps was left by the family as a symbol of rebirth. Throughout the necropolis there are a number of terracotta pipes that emerge from the tombs. In ancient times families would sit by the grave and picnic, occasionally pouring wine, milk or honey down the pipe to feed the dead. Originally the necropolis ran along the edges of an ancient Roman road, the Via Triumphalis (Triumphal Way). Now we know that the area uncovered is just a small section of a much bigger necropolis that would have covered a large part of the hill. But many of the secrets will remain buried. Archaeological digs like this are expensive, and the current site is now surrounded by the imposing stone pillars of the new multi-storey car park. The advance of the modern world has, for the time being, put paid to any further excavations. "A milestone of our pluri-millenarian civilization" commented General Junio Borghese.

ROMA - The PFR Party in Italy has agreed to talks with MSI-DN on forming a coalition. The Partito Fascista Repubblicano fears the UPR centrist coalition might seize the majority in the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives. The leader of the PFR, ex Foreign Minister and Governor General of Italiam Somalia Roberto Ciano said: “Our first steps are very clear. The decent assessment of the economical situation shows we need an anti-stale plan for the economy and finance, and to defend environment and solving population density problems" The main challenge facing the next government is the environment and increasing population and completing the much needed stock market.

ROMA - President Junio Borghese announced today that he was lifting the longtime ban on political activities in Italy, hoping to boost and promote the creation of stable and responsible political parties eligible in January's election of the Constituent Assembly of the Italian Republic. “Today, I am announcing the permission of political activities in Italy to bring them into the main political stream,” General Borghese said in a live broadcast. General Borghese chose a symbolic moment to make the announcement: the eve of the national holiday marking Italy’s 6th month of independence from the Greater Nordic Reich. The ban on political activities and parties had created a vacuum that was increasingly exploited by militants and anarchist extremists. “Now, political parties can organize themselves and the political process can start,” said Borghese. “So far, as permission for political activities is concerned, it is a very healthy development,” he said. “It is an advance and would enable the people to gradually come out of the stagnant military rule.” But he warned that there were still some vested interest groups in the country “that do not want complete democratization of the nation.” “It is a good move,” analysts said.
