Zoot Zoot Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 -Time stamp- 1/1/1989 -Service BBC -Headline- Queen says NO! to United Nations -Body of announcement- Queen Elizabeth today announced she would not be applying Great Brtain for membership in the United Nations. The young Queen was quoted saying " We always have been independant, I wouldnt surrender any of our rights, or agree to anything that infringes on our free will as a sovereign state. We will not freeze our bio and chemical weapon production. Whilst nuclear weapons have the potential to destroy all we know, biological and chemical weaponry does not. The stock of Britains bioweapons divison is open for the public to observe, and we are more than willing to provide external scientists etc etc, with the means to examine our stockpile. Whilst our nuclear arm is small, we have the power to destroy a nations agricultural industry, without ever harming the population, unlike conventional weapons do. Each nation, Geneva convention or not, will have its own rules of war, its own policies on treating spies, terrorists, prisoners of war and such. Basic human rights are also down to the home nation to decide, not an out spoken council of bigots and hypocrites who will bend the world to their will as they please. We do not need a convention, we do not need a "united nations" we need none of these things. As a world of civilised men and women, warcrimes are rarely commited, and when they are, it does not take the vote of a damn council to take out the regime that commited such atrocities. Their means are noble, and so are their goals. But Great Britain shall not be part of it. We follow our own rules, our own policies and agendas, and shall not, and will not be dictated to by a foreign tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loannes Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 -Time stamp- 1/1/89 -Drakorian Confederate News Network (DCNN) -States Take Action! With the support of the federal government, the states of the Drakorian Confederation that bordered Great Britain began taking strongarmed stances against Britain. Transit from Great Britain into Drakoria and vice versa have been cut off, and all British nationals living in Drakoria have been deported. Governor Harry Frederick of Reichsgrad, the southwesternmost state, stated, "So long as Britain supports biological weaponry, we will not allow them to enter our borders. They could be a threat to the good people of Reichsgrad and Drakoria, whether in the hands of their government or terrorists. We take these measures to prevent a biological attack that may cause an outbreak that could sweep through the Drakorian populace like a wildfire." The states are currently voting on whether or not to issue an embargo against Great Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Zoot Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 -Time stamp- 1/1/89 -BBC -Response to Drakorias actions. The Queen had a statement prepared shortly after her first announcment. "With the threat of sanctions against Great Britain from the fledging United Nations, which would harm our way of life beyond measure, I had decided that the development of Biological and Chemical weapons will halt. However, the current stockpile of weaponry shall be maintained as a deterrent. As previously stated, they are Anti Agricultural weapons, not the sort of weapons such as Anthrax, Sarin and Cyanide etc etc. If Drakoria wishes to keep the borders closed, then so be it, our borders, airspace and coastal territory will remain closed to any and all Drakorian vessels, aeroplanes and citizens.

Since then however, the location of mine fields around Bastillo and any other threats to passage through Bastillan waters have been published every-other year in the Biannual Naval Hazards Update.

Headline: Lacedaamon-Nuskar relations committee in a furor over Nuskar decision Body: The Lacedaemon-Nuskar relations committee has reportedly entered into furious debate over how to proceed with the current Nuskar-Lacedaemon diplomatic conflict. The few immigrants from Lacedaemon in Nuskar had families who were originally from Nuskar and taken as slaves hundreds of years ago, thus creating a dilemma: many of the people who were sent back had familial ties to Nuskar and are now stuck in a country they do not wish to be in. The committee met in secret and the media was not allowed to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtleknifewielder Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) -Time stamp: 02//20/1989 -Service: TDF -Headline: Insurgent Leader Captured -Body of announcement: Ruperto Salano Garcia, cult and terrorist leader, was today apprehended in Fellicia in the middle of planning an attempt at bombing a major elementary school. The Presidente has refused to comment on the situation, as have her advisors, but sources inside the office claim that the prosecution will seek the death penalty for his crimes, not the least of which are extortion, acts of terrorism, conspiracy to commit murder, and murder. It is also rumored that he may have international funding, though the government consistently denies any knowledge of such information.
