Your Nation's Fact of the Week

[Fatatatutti]

In the wake of Kalasparata's anti-climactic disappearance, several environmental watchdog groups are calling for stricter controls on the use of anti-matter. When asked for comment, a spokeman for the Physics Department at Fatatatutti University (FU) said, "Huh?" When asked for clarification, he replied that his department might have a couple of positrons lying around at any given time. When asked for further clarification, he just fiddled with his pocket-protector and stared blankly.

[Maraque]

In the hours before the meeting of the CSM leaders and HRH King Whirnak, the King of Cuerak has come out and said he would "never support secession under any circumstances."

Balova would be celebrating, but we are somewhat preoccupied.

In other news, Balova hopes to soon be accepting shipments of advanced weaponry from an as yet unidentified foreign source.

[Maraque]

A video of a teenage girl falling into the Sikhoniya river in Estakuri is making the rounds in Tsvarchivan media today. She was preoccupied texting and was not watching where she was going and walked right into the river. Onlookers laughed hysterically as a mermaid helped her out of the water.

Scientists at the Vermont Centre for Space Exploration in Barre,Vermont have announced the completion of a infrared-scanning satellite, however it cannot be launched in the Republic due to the inappropriateness of the season.

Fatatatutti has had only one monarch. There were no leftovers.

[Balova]

Balova's national legislature has officially declared a state of war against the People's Republic of East Urekal, adding formality to the conflict which began perhaps 48 hours ago with the East Urekali invasion of western Balova. Among other measures, this extends all military enlistments for the duration of the conflict.

[Frenequesta]

When Frenequestans heard that Kalasparata had disappeared, there was much rejoicing, and scientists landed there to investigate the wreckage.

What they discovered, however, is that a new Kalasparatan society was already starting to form, the Empire of Kalaspia-Shimarata. They are still puzzled as to the cause.

No word on the status of their bodies has been reported.

I had to be the killjoy, didn't I?

[San Falco]

San Falco City is not home to the central government of the San Falco nation, despite being the capitol... strange people.

[Jibberi]

Massive debate has started in the Jibberish council after Urn Thomas noticed that although the island of Jibberi is described as "looking like a chicken", he thought it looked more like a turkey. Urn Kolten and Ord Bourghen were debating against Urn Thomas, but Urn Kolten drank himself under the table during the debate and Ord Bourghen had to continue alone. There has been talk of an official questionaire to ask the citizens of Jibberi themselves whether it looks more like a chicken or turkey.

Urn Polokus is remaining neutral in this debate, claiming "I always thought it looked more like a hand with a broken thumb."

The "Kalasparta Is Gone" parade was disrupted by an unseasonable downpour, and was rained out.

[Balova]

San Falco City is not home to the central government of the San Falco nation, despite being the capitol... strange people.

That is a bit odd.

Balova's capital is called Free Town, a name which was chosen when President Xena Balova denounced several alternatives as "****ing stupid," and asked that something sensible be chosen.
