It has been wildly applauded by many especially the human rights organizations who have been fighting for abolishment of the death penalty for a long time Authorities Conduct Mass Raid Belgrade - After establishment of Law and Order in the whole Empire a joint operation between the Army, Marine Corps and Police has been conducted in the provinces of Serbia and Montenegro aimed at factories using child labor. Under the previous Government these factories were not regularly checked so they could commit their crimes without being noticed however after a tip from a few Parents the Government has found 32 factories in violation totaling 24000 Innocent Children all in bad circumstances some even on a level that children died due to numerous reasons. All directors have been arrested those who allowed Children to die will face Grade 6 charges and others will face Grade 5. Said factories have been annexed by the State and closed down until it has proper working conditions. The Children will be taken care of after which local Governments will ensure proper education and living standards.

Construction of New Capital Zagreb - At the remains of the old city destroyed in previous wars the Emperor has authorized construction of a new city being build on several higher platforms well armed by several Squadrons and Anti-Aircraft weapons will be the pride of the Southern Slavs and a truly unique city. The largest platform in the center will be the Governmental and Business District featuring both the National Bank, International Bank, Stock Market and Palace.

Over the nation today celebrations have been held the biggest in Dubrovnik where Croat and Montenegrin citizens participated in their respective events.

Imperial Army Taskforce Croatia 40 in the streets of Jericho as part of the Croatian part of the Events A concert by Nasa Zemlja showing music from the different Corners of Croatia A live movie of an actual concert going on now, showing Vesna Pisarovic Varaždin and Tuzla Under Local Alert Level Orange Varaždin - Following Deployments in Varaždin and Tuzla reaching 5,000 each the local Government has announced increase of the Local Alert Level to Orange showing high threat of Internal or Foreign Military Movements. Strangely enough none of these Soldiers were stationed in Provincial Capitals but rather abandoned Missile Bases or potential sites leading people to believe it is somehow related to the Manned Space Program recently announced to be in Advanced Stages of Construction. When asked to comment both the House of Defense and Provincial Governments refused to make any Statement saying more information would come in the near future.

Putting aside the violence for a moment, allowing one side to demonstrate while not allowing the other is already showing bias. And before you say the Communists turned violent, that was only after they were ordered to disperse. You are not as impartial as you wish the world to see you as.

The Constitution says every citizen has the right to demonstrate provided it does not violate the National Security, at this moment there is a strong anti-communist movement allowing the Communist Demonstration to happen would have resulted in mass riots and many dead especially on the Communist side as such those were banned. OOC: I've got to admit...I like your newswoman. OOC: Who wouldn't IC: Nuclear Test Successful Jericho - Following a year long Research and data obtained from Foreign Scientists the Imperial Strategic Weapons Council has finished producing and testing a Nuclear Weapon. The Press Secretary of Defense has stated production will go on at maximum capacity for the next 6 months and an undisclosed amount of Nuclear Weapons will be produced to serve the Empire in war. Regarding the use the Lord of Defense stated Phoenicia would keep the right to conduct a First Strike in war so nations would think twice before attacking. The Picture of the blast spread around the World before the Announcement was made Update on Varaždin and Tuzla Varaždin - Following the strange events a few weeks ago the House of Defense has announced a full no-fly zone over Varaždin, Tuzla and the surrounding provinces not only Civilian but also for Military Aircraft leading independent experts to believe this is above Top Secret and doubts if the Soldiers there even know what is happening.

Sarah Tintagyl Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I must admit these nuclear tests going off all over the world frighten me. First the New Taiwanese and now the Phoenicians. If you recall we were thrown in to much of the chaos of the present because of the use of nuclear weapons in the Great European War or as others know it as the Gebiv War. I will be the first to warn that the proliferation of these weapons will reduce us to the same chaos that we have just returned from.

This is still biased. Do you not have enough civilized men and woment to keep order? It was not their fellow civilians that dispersed the protest--it was the government.

We do not like the necessity of having them, but nevertheless, they are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
