PresidentDavid Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) [b]The United States of The Islands All United[/b] The Civil War is now over. Fighting has ceased and it is time to rebuild. With the citizens of the north on the side of the south this will take no time at all to accomplish. Thanks to our boys in the military, the United States has captured every major leader in a matter of three days. With the Western Isles joining the United States, it was crucial to keep the Island united to keep it stable there. As you all know, our troops are currently in the Western Isles establishing government and order in a peaceful manner. With all of these exciting things happening, a gloomy question is left. What will we do with the communist tyrants that oppressed the nation and forced troops, men, women, and children to fight under a cause they did not support? According to the President they are all going to get a fair trial with a jury in place. The death sentence almost seems definite with these chargers (not all included): Violation of Human Rights Violation of Civil and Military Rights Treason Against State Governments High Treason Against The United States of The Islands Attempted Religious Genocide The Destruction of God Given Rights Capital Crimes Against A Religious Organization The criminals will either get 700 years in prison or the death sentence three times. Either way, they are now under the authority of the United States.

He had his Island United. Thank God. Later that day he saw a respectful public question from Great Britain so he made a simple statement back instead of bother Susan. "[i]The Islands Post[/i] is not under the government of the United States. However, they must hold the opinion of many Islanders because this was the most sold newspaper issue in United States history. I myself had a few framed. The United States, because of the evils it went through with the north, has a new strict foreign policy. The United States of The Islands will not conduct trade with any communist nation that infringes on individual rights of citizens such as freedom to religion, freedom of speech, or the right to an innocent life. (OOC: It means a military soldiers can't shoot you if he suspects you of something) (IC) Furthermore, the United States is a Capitalist Republic. However we do not care or mind if anyone is socialist. You have the right to be what you want, friend. The United States of The Islands does not have a negative view towards socialist in a domestic since. In conclusion, we have no problem with you and we hope we can have a bright future together."

Yet you accepted billions our our pounds in an effort to keep the legitimate Government of your Nation in power. The days of communism being associated with the great evils of this world are long gone. In this age, it is a working ideology.

Lestari Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 It is disappointing to see a nation that yet languishes under the long-past propaganda claim that Communism is evil or immoral.

PresidentDavid Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) [center][img]http://www.thepoliticalemporium.com/assets/images/s1.jpg[/img][/center] [b]A New Beginning[/b] [i]Punishment[/i] With the former leaders of the former communist nation in the hands of the United States government, their trials were moved first on the list. A judge and group of peers were brought together and a verdict was reached. Here is what the jury reached a verdict on. Violation of Human Rights - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Crimes Against Humanity - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Violation of Civil and Military Rights - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Treason Against State Governments - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] High Treason Against The United States of The Islands - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Attempted Religious Genocide - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] The Destruction of God Given Rights - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Capital Crimes Against A Religious Organization - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] First Degree Manslaughter - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] Belonging to a Armed Rebellion To Overthrow The Government - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] The Murder of 2,869 People - [color="#FF0000"]Guilty[/color] The judge gave the highest sentence in the country - Unchosen Death. Typically when someone is sentenced to death, they may have the option of which way to be put to death, however this is going one step farther and stripping them of that one choice. Now all he may do is choose his last meal, which we read, was a baked potato with butter. When the President was asked if he would give a pardon to the former leader he said, "I am only to give a pardon if I think the courts did not rule fairly, which almost never happens. I think this man deserves what he is going to get for the murder of so many innocent, holy, faithful, and loyal people." The final question on everyone's mind was [i]How will the tyrant be put to death?[/i] The judge released a statement today saying simply, "Death by firing squad." [i]The Western Isles[/i] With the war now over, focus is moving to the Western Isles. Our military is currently there, going to towns and telling them they are now under Islands rule, and establishing government and order. Approximately 3,000 soldiers are currently there and more are planned to depart soon. With the new population comes new responsibilities to the government such as living up to the people's expectations. Of course they will be and are happy to be under Republican rule, however a system of states should be set up in the Western Isles as soon as possible so that they can have a say in their government. The biggest and hardest thing to deal with will be deciding which islands become states and how big they should be - whether based on population or land distribution. [i] Rebuilding The North[/i] All communist leaders of the north have been removed and brought to Douglas for a court hearing which will most likely have then in prison for the rest of their lives or sentenced to death. This means that the north now has a fresh start to rejoin the south as one country. With the general population never on the North's side, setting up a new republican government will be easy and swift. Most congressmen have already been elected in the North and a few more are to come. For the former capital of the rebellion the clean up is estimated to take about a month. Several fires have destroyed government buildings however the majority of downtown is not harmed. -The Islands Post Edited February 17, 2011 by PresidentDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresidentDavid Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) [b]The Newest Company In The Islands[/b] [center][img]http://www.kbelradio.com/Coca-Cola-Art_Enjoy_Logo_Ribbon.jpg[/img][/center] The Coca-Cola Company was founded about two months ago in New Dublin. The Coca-Cola Company currently sells one item and one item only, Coca-Cola - also know as a "Coke". A "Coke" is a beverage made of normal carbonated water with other products added into it which is what give a coke it's fantastic flavor. Over 7,000 bottles have already been sold (in New Dublin) and the number is growing by each day. When asked, locals responded with comments like, "A delicious drink that takes off the edge" "Delicious but not disgustingly sweet" "An amazing alternative to alcohol". Could the Coca-Cola Company be the first big boom we will get after the war? From what critics are saying - no it won't. However our citizens and companies seem to surprise the critics time and time again. With the United States growing and rebuilding it needs a new drink to keep it up at night when studying for a test or trying to finish a project, it will be coke. Many collage students honor Coca-Cola with, "An easy way to stay up at night" or "A great way to keep your spirits up is to drink a coke!" If this would be the next boom with young people, then this would definitely catch on fast. Currently, the majority of people who drink Coca-Cola are youngsters in their early twenties however younger and younger people, along with the older generations, are starting to catch on. [img]http://emoryhistory.emory.edu/images/asa_candler.jpg[/img] Founder Asa Griggs Candler is very optimistic on his new product. We were not able to speak with him because of the many buisness deals he was making but his secretary (his daughter) did tell us that her father was working very hard and that this was the best thing she had ever tasted. She also told us that the Coca-Cola logo was actually thanks to our advertisement saying, "Enjoy Capitalism". Several posters have been popping up saying, "Enjoy Coca Cola." So now you might be thinking: [i]How can I get a coca-cola? Are they expensive? How should one drink a coke, warm or cold?[/i] These are questions that many people have asked us on the street while we were interviewing and now we have some answers for you. [i] How can I get a coca-cola?[/i] If you live in New Dublin, then you are in luck! There are several fountain shops that are now serving coca-cola along with your favorite ice creams. Coca-Cola is also sold by several butcher shops and and bakeries that are storing the drinks in small coolers to sell to customers while they wait. If you live in Douglas or the North then don't worry! Coke will be coming to you very soon. In fact Candler's daughter told us, "If profits get us where we want to be then we will increase production and maybe expand [the output of cokes], so that we can sell the beverage to more people and put a smile on their face!" With the Western Isles in the Union now it is certain that they will, probably within a year, have coca-cola popping up in their local stores as well! [i] Are they expensive?[/i] Currently, we have seen that every single shop seems to be selling cokes for five cents so they are at a reasonable price right now. [i]How should one drink a coke, warm or cold?[/i] This is one of the most debated things in New Dublin right now. However, we have taken a pole and found that 63% of people in New Dublin say a cold coke is a better coke! Coca-Cola, the next boom for the United States. -The Islands Post Edited February 17, 2011 by PresidentDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, there are investors so why not have it more organized? A stock market would bring risk to our Republic however it would also bring opportunity. With hundreds of people getting new jobs each day this economic boom will definitely be a golden age of prosperity. [color="#00FF00"]Pros[/color] The United States would get a prime system of trading stocks Great fortunes could be made Global Interests Could be brought to the Islands Companies could theoretically grow faster if an organized system could show how well they are doing so more investors and stock holders could be drawn to them [color="#FF0000"]Cons [/color] A typical collapse of a stock-market could bring down the hole economy with it Thousands could loose jobs Many local companies could eat each other up until there were a few big ones left Because this is an important political issue for the United States, we asked a local senator from New Dublin what he thought, "While it does have risk we can't shoot it down just because of that. Why would we? We need to take risks. I hope the private sector does get together and makes this work because I think it would be a great idea." It seems the greatest supporters of a stock market are from the north where they are recovering from the former communist regime. "If it can grow industry and jobs up here, then I am all for it" says Matthew Wallis, a local buisness owner. Obviously this will take off soon, so what will it have in hold for us? Let's take a risk everyone - let's see what happens. -Islands Post Edited February 17, 2011 by PresidentDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
