The Parliamentary Armed Forces Committee has just accepted and will be having the Ministry of Defense put into practice, Minister of Defense Colin Powell's military doctrine. It will be the standard doctrine for any and all future military engagements Blue Heaven might be involved in.

1.Is a vital national security interest threatened?

2.Do we have a clear attainable objective?

3.Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?

4.Have all other non-violent policy means been fully exhausted?

5.Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?

6.Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?

7.Is the action supported by the people of Blue Heaven?

8.Do we have genuine broad international support?

Today, the 35th, 36th, 37th, and 38th Armored Divisions have been officially comissioned. There is talk, though, in the Defense Ministry, of reorganizing tank divisions so that there'll be 100 tanks per division.

Also Crude Inc. has begun extracting oil from the 200 off shore acres that they bought from the government for a cool $800 million.

They predict that once they're at full capacity, the amount of oil being extracted per day will be 500,000 barrels. Currently, Blue Heaven uses 300,000 barrels daily. The government calmed people's fears, though, by announcing that they were currently having talks with Texas and other nations to import oil from them.

The train accident in Shugo Province that killed 10 people was caused by the conductor sending text messages while operating the train. This has caused the Ministry of Interior to pressure Parliament into passing legislation that would ban all train conductors from even having their cell phones on while they're operating the train.

In economic news, Zee Inc. has now finished constructing the infrastructure and buildings needed to give the people of New Eden internet access and will now start hiring and training at least 15,000 workers. Also Zee Inc. has started up an OS under the name of Morrill Inc and said that the final release date is slated for late April.

In the music world, a new music player known as MoDecc launched today and have so far sold 50,000 MoDeccs in its first 24 hours.

Finally, the Black Rose conglomerate went up 50 points, Crude Inc. dipped 20 as the Treaty of Beaumont increased the supply of oil, and Zee Inc. went up 80 points.

Today, Lord Sauron of New Eden and his nine advisors were all killed in an accidental explosion of a cruise missile. The entire Blue Heaven Cabinet sent their deepest condolences to New Eden. Despite urging by Parliament to take military action if New Eden goes into anarchy, Minister of Defense Colin Powell has said that BH cannot legally take military action as we don't have any type of military pact with them. At minimum, a mutual defense pact would be needed for BH to take any type of military action.

Today a total of 30 drug smugglers were arrested in Starwind Province. They're currently being interrogated as to which druglord they serve.

In Black Rose Province, the largest mafia group in Blue Heaven, the Northern Alliance, is suspected of the slaying of 10 people in the city of Helba, the cause being a dispute of who would sell drugs where. The Provincial police chief released a statement saying that "The NA will not get away with these murders and I've mobilized a task force to hunt down and arrest all NA members." Upon hearing this, the provinces of Inri, Okau, and Mirelle annouced that they too would form task forces to hunt down NA members and would work with the other provinces that had large numbers of NA members in their provinces to defeat the NA.

In other news, the government announced that it would soon be starting another infrastructure project, nearly on scale with the one that was completed only months ago.

A total of 500 former military personnel have been recruited to become The Descendants of Fianna, a group that will protect the Prime Minister and all other head government officials in both the homeland and abroad.

Late last night in the small town of Height, in Shugo Province, a house was tragically burnt down. Interesting, though, is that everyone survived due to the courage of a young woman. She was walking nearby the house and saw it caught on fire. She ran up to the house and saw that the husband and wife were alright but the wife was crying about her 9 year old son that was still trapped in the house. The young woman ran into the house and a couple minutes later came out with the child and called the police. This brave young woman wishes to remain anonomyous.

Today in the early hours of the morning, Black Rose Provincial police chief, Brian Ekkman, was killed as were 5 other high-ranking police officers. It's suspected that the Northern Alliance perpertrated the crime in an effort to put fear into the nation as he and many other Provincial police chiefs were planning to form an inter-provincial task force to hunt down and destroy any and all NA mafia members. His funeral will be held in the coming weeks.
