SINGAPOREAN INVASION!

Desperate Ethiopian civilians in Alexandria defending their homes from the transhuman menace.

Singaporean bombing of Port Said.
THE FSAJ is now in total war. It is facing a sudden attack against a great enemy. From Benghazi to Arish, the cities are on fire, and the enemy is visible anywhere.
In the morning of February 6 2086, the Singapore Federation launched a full-scale invasion of the FSAJ, starting from dropping thousands of transhuman soldiers onto the port of Alexandria at 4:31 AM. Soon, the enemy seized several strategic positions around the northern coast of Egypt, and orbital-bombarded Benghazi as well. The Singaporean forces also has their submarines emerged; the missile attacks that came destroyed most of the coastal defenses. Singaporean operatives also seized one aircraft carrier, the Friedrich Engels without any damage. The other carriers in the attack region were severely damaged and repairing in Port Said, whose ports have not yet been seized and is only under small-scaled bombardment by the Singapore forces. 1 carrier, the Georgi Plekhanov, was sunk after receiving extensive damage. The naval defense for the northern coast of Egypt is now basically nonexistent.
A grand total of exactly 30,000 Singaporean troops are now seizing streets in the big cities along the coast. They are easily sweeping away the defenses of the people, made solely of street barricades and militants holding rifles. The transport routes are severed heavily by the constant ion cannon attacks on the roads and rails, and defensive positions are scattered up. If the army fails to keep the Singaporean troops at bay, this will ultimately mean the fall of the northern coast completely, and perhaps even the Sinai Peninsula.
Military officials says a strategy is currently under plan, but tactical command to all forces is functioning perfectly and they will be able to defend from the enemies.
It is unknown for the reason of a Singaporean invasion; the scientific cooperation project between us and them just ended well one week ago. Various theories are rising about the current international situation, but we will only have to wait and see over the time. Reporter of National People's News

Riots unfold in New Prague following Super League tie

---

NEW PRAGUE, ANTALYIA - Violent riots unfolded in the city of New Prague on Sunday afternoon following New Prague FC’s shock 5-0 home defeat to Real Palma, the league leaders. The visitors arrived at the New Prague Stadium in their thousands preparing to watch their side dismantle a weak and unevenly matched side from the Antalyian capital, while the fans of din Pragesten would sit back and witness their team’s unjust defeat to the Palmbukian giants. Throughout the whole match, New Prague FC were on the wrong side of the referee. Adren Kolek’s twenty-third minute equalizer was ruled to be offside by the officials, which sparked an uproar in the stadium’s main stand. When Real’s fourth goal met the back of the net, the atmosphere began to grow dangerous and uneasy for fans of the Super League champions. It wasn’t until after the match that the serious events would unfold.

Real Palma supporters bundled out of the New Prague Stadium, expecting a normal full-time routine: out of the stadium, a walk to the car park, and then a drive home. For fans on Sunday, this wouldn’t be the case. One Real supporter recalls seeing hundreds upon hundreds of New Prague FC fans charging out of the stadium toward the Real fans. Some wouldn’t make it home to Palmbukia, and were murdered or severely beaten by the home support. Riots began to unfold all over the stadium and Antalyian football fans - excluding the majority of Wishaw FC fans - began to join in with New Prague’s supporters, and it took four hours of brawling and firing before the police could stop the madness. It is reported that seventy-two supporters, both Antalyian and Palmbukian, were pronounced dead on Sunday night and Monday morning. There are among one-hundred and fifty injuries of the twenty-seven thousand people present at the game. The Federación Palmuñia de Fútbol (FPF) has called the riots a ‘shambles’ and made comments about Antalyia’s breakaway from the FPF, starting in the 2015-16 season. The president of the FPF stated, “The events that occurred after the Super League tie between New Prague FC and Real Palma are an absolute disgrace. On behalf of the entire FPF and the board of Real Palma C.F. I would like to apologize to those families who have lost loved ones.”

In November 2014 the Federación Palmuñia de Fútbol gave permission for the Antalyian Football Federation (Antalïye Federaåte er Futbell) - or AFF - to establish an Antalyian football league system for clubs currently participating in Palmbukian competitions. The AFF have announced that all Antalyian football clubs must participate in the Antalyian leagues from the 2015-16 season onward. The federation also released the list of competitions that would make up the Antalyian football league system. The system includes the Antalyian Super League (Süper Lïg er Antalïye), the Antalyian Second League (Zekërnd Lïg er Antalïye), and the Antalyian Third League (Vörd Lïg er Antalïye). Each league will be contested by twelve teams, with the champion qualifying for the URFA Champions League second qualifying round, and also the runner-up and third placed club qualifying for the URFA Zuropa League first qualifying round. The federation have also established the Antalyian Cup (Köp er Antalïye). The moving of Antalyian clubs from Palmbukian to Antalyian competition has been done mainly to reduce violence and rioting throughout Palmbukian competition.

[Fatatatutti]

There was panic in the streets of Fatatatutti today caused by billboards announcing "The End of Fluffy". The use of Alphonse's childhood nickname, Fluffy, in his recent presidential campaign caused many people to infer that the nation's most beloved duck was dead.

However, it was later revealed by the producers of the hit TV show, The Fluffiest Hobo, that the billboards were meant as a promotion for the season-ending cliff-hanger, in which the hero is apparently run over by a steam roller. The show's protagonist, a duck who waddles around from town to town having various adventures, is usually called "Hobo", not "Fluffy". The producers have apologized for any inconvenience caused by the mistake. They have also assured their loyal viewers that Hobo will escape from the steamroller somehow in time to save Timmy from the well.

Un Nouvel Espoir Courageux,A new opportunity for the Kitsunes

FBC News | Flardanian Broadcasting Corporation

Coach: Hikaru Kyosuke

At 8:00 Am The Flardania National team arrived in Super-Llamaland's Wheathampton for The Group C matchup in WF III. The team lead by 32 y.o Hikaru Kyosuke arrived at the Airport after departing Marquis De Lafayette International in Megalo Mesembria. After struggling to find a tournament and friendlies after the Kitsunes Formation, WF III awaits them. The last match played by Flardania was their 0-0 tie with allied United States of Devonta in a friendly.

Except from Coach Kyosuke: It was a great effort. We knew it was going to be a tough game seeing how United States of Devonta is a much more established team. Hence they being in the Cup of Harmony and we missed out on applying for BOF. It was touching to see all our fans travel to Devonta just to see us in a friendly and the goosebumps we felt with the playing of our anthem. It's a shame that we couldn't win considering all the emotions and support we had. This is our sport, our favorite sport, a sport that all Flardanians play even before they can walk or talk. We breath football. Simply put we are young, fresh, and hungry. I plan on taking advantage of that while we are young with no rank and use that time to try different styles to find a unique Flardanian football {style}. We know how to win and fight, now we just have to win and fight for Flardania.

Except from Coach Kyosuke in regards to being in WF III Christmas Truce and potentially facing Devonta again. You know this tourney may not mean much to some of the other nations but this means the world to us. We have no World Cup circuit match on our calendar so for us this is the real deal. We want to show the World our passion for this sport every time we step on the pitch as we work up the ladder in recognition. What happened with Star United States and United States of Devonta is in the past and we will look towards the future. We are here to play. Tomorrow night our new national uniforms via Meski sports (bless them) will be worn with pride as we walk out the tunnel and my players line up. It will be our first international playing of our anthem in a major sporting event we will be filled with controlled emotion, we will try new things and hopefully bring the Goddess a victory.

......In terms of practice, I made my team do reps and drills within the past weak. Joseph Yabuta seems anxious to carrying his stellar performance on the Emerson Nymphs to the international level. Once we arrived here we did some light dills to get use to the environment. We should be well rested tonight and show everyone what we are made of. We hope we can find a winning formula and start making our nation proud. - Hikaru

The Kitsunes are here and fired up ready to go as far as inhumanly possible. Their hardwork, trails as they finally made a tourney, and pure love for the game is drawn out. Many Flardanians have already flown in from the Asia-Pacific determined to see their Kitsunes do battle.

FBC News | Flardanian Broadcasting Corporation

Coach: Hikaru Kyosuke after win

After a disappointing 0-1 loss to Trowulani Knights, Flardania was stuck in a must win situation especially since in WF III: The Christmas Truce only the Group Winners advance. Flardania walked into Super-Llamaland's Wheathampton against Naval Monte that also needed a win to stay alive. The match went on nil nil till Joseph Yabuta of the Emerson Nymphs broke free on a through ball (delivered by Papadopoulos) and chipped the ball over the opposing Goal Keeper in the 34th minute to the roar of the Flardania section. The game went on with Flardania determined to keep the lead and get the win. The on the 71st minute the Captain, Hyun Ji Kim of the Port Nathalia Mermaids headed the ball off of a corner delivered by Papadopoulos. This put Flardania up 2-0 and gives the Kitsunes a +1 in Goal Difference.

Except from Coach Kyosuke: It was a great team effort. We knew it was a must win situation but we also knew we had the talent to win. We meditated before the game and we let the game come to us. Every minute we didn't score we refuse to panic and awaited for our time to shine. Once we scored that first goal. We knew another goal can potentially be a difference maker and we eventually got that goal. I apologize to our opponets since we knocked them out but we had to do what ever had to be done. We will be playing our hardest in the final group match and put a performance where we can walk with our heads held high win or lose.

The Kitsunes are up against group leader Patistan in their next game. The Kitsunes need a win and a Naval Monte win or a Naval Monte and Trouwulani Knights draw to advance. Many Flardanians are hopeful for the next matchup.

:· NEW: Avalon, Corsica declare state of
emergency

:· Hurricane Nicholas aftermath: A day after
catastrophic arctic hurricane

CORSICA, CO, United Republic — Casualty estimates have risen to around 3,000 dead and missing a day after the impact of Hurricane Nicholas, an arctic hurricane considered a Category 3 hurricane at landfall, on the Emmerian northwest coast, according to the Emmerian Red Cross and Red Crescent (ERC) as search and rescue efforts are already underway. The hurricane hit the coast yesterday, December 26, following an expansive mandatory evacuation effort throughout Avalon and Corsica, the northwestern-most U.R. states and the hardest hit areas of the hurricane.

FULL COVERAGE: Hurricane Nicholas aftermath

Several days ago, the formation of a polar depression was detected by the Arctic Hurricane Center, an element of the United Republic National Meteorological Center (NMC), forming northwest of Emmeria. The polar depression became a Category 5 arctic hurricane as the convergence of northeasterly currents along the west coast and southerly arctic currents carried it towards the mainland United Republic. As it impacted the sparsely populated Avalon state and U.R. territories in the Aurelian Sea, the storm lost strength, but remained a Category 3 hurricane once it hit the heavily populated northwestern coastline, with wind speeds in excess of 200 km/h (70 mi/h) and extensive winter storms involving sleet, hail, and freezing rain.

Polar hurricanes like Nicholas are considered to be more dangerous than tropical hurricanes, because of the larger variance in air and water temperatures and the involvement of winter storm like conditions, such as sleet and blizzards.

A projected path of the storm, produced by the National Meteorological Center on December 24. Projections by the NMC caused the states of Avalon and Corsica to declare mandatory evacuation efforts, which became among the largest evacuation efforts in Emmerian history. Click to enlarge.

At the time of impact, the hurricane was the most powerful arctic depression ever to hit a heavily populated area in the United Republic. Coastal areas in the states of Corsica, Acadia, and Avalon were virtually destroyed as heavy winds and sleet impacted the area, resulting in severe blizzards and dangerous conditions. The most expensive damage is thought to be in the city of Urbana, CO, a major hub for maritime commerce and the cultural center of the state, which faced several feet of snow and critically severe conditions.

WATCH: Shocking footage captured by rescue chopper shows a city buried in ice

On December 24, projections made by the National Meteorological Center of the storm prompted mandatory evacuations from areas near the coasts, including much of the Corsica coastline and a majority of the state of Avalon. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated in one of the most expansive emergency evacuation efforts in Emmerian history, as the federal expressways in those states became littered with cars and authorities implemented contraflow lane reversal to enable the effort. Thousands are expected to have remained in their homes along the coastline, and many who were unable to leave the city sought refuge in Urbana's Vanderbilt Superdome stadium, an enclosed Emmerian professional football stadium designed for evacuations and other emergencies pertaining to arctic hurricanes.

Search and rescue efforts are already under way as the governors of Avalon and Corsica have declared a state of emergency in their respective jurisdictions, involving the mobilization of thousands of members of the state national guards and state militia. Emergency services, augmented by the arrival of national guard units from all of the 41 states, have initiated efforts to rescue countless civilians, but UR authorities estimate thousands may still be trapped, dead, or missing. Authorities say the disaster likely resulted in billions of dollars of damage and may be the costliest natural disaster in Emmerian history. Reports indicate that due to the difficulties associated with communications in the difficult conditions, rescue efforts are actively being aided by local HAM Radio operators.

Opinion: Trying to assess the economic damage of Hurricane Nicholas

The Department of Domestic Security, which handles disaster management through its Emergency Response Service (ERS), released a statement indicating that it would not actively seek foreign aid in response to the crisis. The statement said that "Emergency response units present in the country are equipped and trained to effectively handle the disaster," but it did not indicate whether foreign donations in the form of supplies and support forces would be accepted. However, analysts suggest the economic damage and the severity of the disaster may force the United Republic to accept foreign aid in significant amounts, something rarely, if ever, conducted by the federal government.

President Appoints new Transportation Minister

---

KENZTROPOLIS - President Kenzie S.R appointed Rafka Mahendra as Kenzinia's new Transportation Minister, replacing Paul Ward in this important position, on Saturday (28/12/2014). Mr Rafka, who is currently working as the General Manager of the Sir Kenzsterling International Airport (SKIA) and Vice Director of the Kenzinian Airport Group (KAG), was surprised when the President chose him as the new minister instead of other possible candidates.

"I haven't even met the President face-to-face before," the 42 year old stated in an interview with KNN yesterday evening. "I have no skill in politics at all, and I'm currently not in any political party. I'm both surprised and excited right now."

The Director of KAG, Raul Martinus spoke this morning when asked about Mr Rafka, "He's a good and talented man. He often gives me solutions to the hardest and most difficult problems, and his leadership skills are fantastic. As the GM of our capital city's airport, he accomplished many things and somehow made the airport like the way it is now; elegant, modern, and secure."

Rafka Mahendra will soon appoint a new GM for SKIA to replace his position, as the Transportation Minister duty may not collide with other duties. Mr Martinus will also appoint a new Vice Director for the KAG soon.

Saltbridge Sun’s CEO Interview Series: Exclusive interview with Dr Kennedy Lee, Chief Executive of the Legion Hospital Corporation Editor’s Note: This interview is part of Saltbridge Sun’s CEO interview series. This series is with healthcare & global hospital operator CEOs talking about the Future of their conglomerate and some insight regarding the operations of Legion Hospital Corporation. Dr Kennedy Lee is the Chief Executive of the Legion Hospital Corporation, and concurrently the dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Dion. Dr Lee is not only accredited for western medicine, but is also a certified TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) physician as well. Dr Lee has held various significant posts in the field of medicine, such as the Medical Commissioner of the Recon Health Board, as well as member of the the Board of Administrators of Pryston City Hospital, Dion Imperial Hospital and Reconwood Hospital. Dr Kennedy Lee Chief Executive Q. Could you give us an idea of the scale of Legion Hospital's operations? Legion Hospital Corporation is growing to becoming one of the Legion Corporation's most promising new subsidiaries, with its wide-spread operations and huge investment potential. Currently operating up to 8 foreign hospitals and 3 clinic chains, the company holds great confidence that its operations will grow significantly in the future, as more nations learn about our operations. Q. How would you describe your leadership style and management philosophy? In my leadership style, we've always understood our position in the company. Every employee needs to know what they were brought in to do, even myself, as the CE. Working closely with Dr Myers of Legion Health Group, we push for the endeavors of our company ideals and make them a reality. We must lead our own employees by being role models ourselves. Almost all of our executives in the company have been promoted from bottom-up, so we know what we should expect from our own employees. Q. Where does innovation stand among your priorities? Innovation has always been the idea of the Legion Corporation. From His Majesty King Lee, as CEO of the Legion Corporation, he has guided all his various companies in the same method of success that is the continued development of every aspect. We can't stagnate, because the market changes so quickly, and innovation is our way of survival, that's why we will never stop pursuing innovation. Q. What drives innovation, strategy, or the availability of a specific technology? As mentioned before, innovation has held top priority throughout all our operations, not just restricted to the LHC. As the Legion Corporation operates as a conglomerate, we are a team. When we were brought into the company, all employees are held with great discipline to treat our sister subsidiaries as our own, which has helped breed a very endearing culture amongst our fellow colleagues in other subsidiaries. This has helped our global operations as we are able to reach out for help and provide help to our friends at Legion Hypermarkets, Pegasus Petrol and other areas. This may be our grand strategy, but it has made many obstacles a lot easier to overcome Q. Is Legion Hospital an early adopter of technology or in the tried-and-tested camp? As an avid innovator, we are willing to try and experiment with new technology that no one has ever dared to. Of course, we ensure it is done in the safest environment possible that does not cause casualties or danger to our employees and clients. We spend a large amount of our profits going into R&D, as I can't reiterate enough how much innovation and research means to us. Q. How can the IT help drive business performance? IT is not our strong suit, to be fair; hence we have a very capable Nexus Group International that supports these operations. They're an internal company, probably not heard of by anyone out of the Legion Corporation that manages our logistics and technological needs. Covering security, resources, software, hardware, the job of NGI is to scout for external companies that fill up our gaps. We don't deny that we are vulnerable in some areas, and that is where they come in. We have connections with Trelatche Computing Development, who's President happens to be a non-executive director in the Legion Corporation's Board of Directors. But they provide us with the top-notch computing powers and IT expertise to help us reach our maximum efficiency. Recently, Nexus has brought in Mr Bobby Ferwood to serve as the Chief Technological Officer, and we believe this is a new step in seeing the importance of IT in our global operations. Q. How can this engagement be made more seamless and painless? As the size of the Legion Corporation grows continuously, the formation of NGI has fulfilled its important role of supporting all our internal operations, and with the flexible fluidity of capital and labor, all the subsidiaries balance out one another to allow these developments to remain stable. It is not just about Legion Hospital Corporation, it is more about teamwork between all of the Legion subsidiaries. Q. What is next for Legion Hospital? We seek to continue reaching out to new clients from different nations, and work hard to provide the best quality healthcare offered internationally, and with that, comes great obstacles that we must overcome. I personally see the Legion Hospital Corporation as a promising new subsidiary that will bring our parent company to greater heights as all our fellow colleagues in other subsidiaries will do as well. Thank you so much for your interview and I hope I've given some insight regarding the operations of not just the Legion Hospital Corporation, but also about our Legion Corporation internal culture and our common passion and drive.

ATTACK IN YELIYAVYRD

III
_{Danasred rebels in 2014.}

December 29, 2014 at 10:00 AM (Monday). One Pejitean rebel, and many Tolmakian soldiers were killed in a recent attack that occurred in Gonza, Yeliyavyrd Valley. The attack happened to a squad of Tolmakian soldiers from the 21st Middle-Eastern Task Force (4th Unit) while they were patrolling the outskirts of Nordues, Pejite. There were no live witnesses or survivors, but the attack was revealed publicly by the Danasred not long after the event. The attack was confirmed by local sources.

An undisclosed figure of Tolmakian casualties, and one Pejitean rebel is the official report by the Tolmakian Army. Remarkably, no vehicles or equipment were damaged, lost, or destroyed. Even more remarkable was that the attack showed no signs of the usual Pejitean rebel suicide bombing. Instead, the soldiers were found with shots to the head. How professional soldiers such as those involved in the incident were taken out single-handedly by one Pejitean rebel remains a mystery (as pointed out by one of the investigators). An intriguing fact was that an unnamed Tolmakian Army spokesperson even initially denied any attack in the first place.

"It could be obvious that the patrol was ambushed by several gunmen who used the element of surprise," the same investigator mentioned says. "But we found no prints in the sand, no spent ammunition, or any other firm indication of people swarming around the area and discharging any ranged weapons. Usually too, rebels would destroy or capture enemy equipment, but the army assets were found absolutely intact." The attack was branded as a suicide account as the lone perpetrator was found to have shot himself in the head. The investigator's team is still currently working on the incident.

Pejitean rebels remain a hazard in the Kingdom of Free Pejite, and to foreign peacekeepers and allies. Aside from conducting peace-keeping missions, Tolmakia is bound by a defense pact to help Pejite on its issues with insurgent elements and security hazards. Many attacks (including the Battle of Yeliyavyrd and the Dtnas Shootout) have previously rocked both the Pejitean and Tolmakian governments with concern. Tolmakian forces were to withdraw by the end of 2014, but renewed rebel attacks have led them to stay for an indefinite amount of time.

Squiz Limited Confirms Intent of Demerger

The Squiz Conglomerate Hyfling's largest corporation by market capitalisation since 1992, and the toast of the sharemarket has finally confirmed rumors it was considering a demerger, putting months of speculation to rest.

The details of the upcoming demerger where released to investors immediately after the announcement. The conglomerate intends to split into three separate entities so as to better focus their respective core businesses, one that would focus on it's electronics, cable, research and development, whitegoods and telecom divisions to be named General Technology. A second that would comprise of all of it's industrial and heavy industrial assets, steel, metals production, shipbuilding, glass, timber and products, tyre making, chemicals, woodchipping, machinery and truck manufacturing sectors to be named Mondo Industrials (harking back to it's acquisition of Mondo Glass in 1964) and the third to be made up of its highly successful automotive, aerospace and weaponry manufacturing to be named National Aerospace.

Its robust insurance, capital and financial division seems set to be carved up and sold to already established companies, so now may be the time to buy shares in the Bank of Hyfling or Natla-Temcorp. While it's grain export and shipping division will be sold to Agrimill Limited and National Lines.

It appears that the Mondo Industrial company will be the largest of the three by a considerable margin but is composed mostly of Squiz's underperforming assets, it's glass, tyre, shipbuilding and heavy machinery divisions are all deep in red ink, artificially buoyed by other more successful divisions. It is hoped that the newly independent management of Mondo will be able to turn the company's fortunes around but the company is expected to make a loss for several years to come.

Investors responded positively to the announcement, with Squiz's shareprice increasing 4.6% to Δ82.45 on the DBSX.

With roots from as far back as the 1860s, beginning as a small weapons maker, Squires and Zimmerman, the company expanded rapidly throughout the years. The brand name, Squiz, will still live on as the brand name of a few of the disaggregated companies products, such as Squiz the internet service or Squiz the plasterboard, but the company that once adorned the portfolios of investors of all backgrounds is no more, with the number one place set to go to automotive giant Hyfling Motors post-breakup I don't find it impetuous to say: the King of the Sharemarket is dead, Long live the King.

An Alphonse impersonator was thrown out of a window earlier this week by a King Whirnak impersonator. Fortunately, the Alphonse impersonator could fly and was not injured.

Questions were raised in Parliament concerning the flight requirements for Alphonse impersonators. The Minister responsible reported that there are no standard requirements for impersonators of any kind and that disputes are for the civil courts to decide. There has been no word on whether or not any lawsuits are pending following the incident.

NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS SWEEP TOLMAKIA

III
_{Citizens celebrating in Meddli Square.
iiiiiiii}

January 1, 2015 at 12:00 AM (Thursday). The climax of the second Green Month (that is, New Year's Eve) reaches its highest peak in the Republic of Tolmakia, as Tolmakians nationwide (and even worldwide) simultaneously party, bestowing their greetings of good cheer on friends, family, and even other amiable strangers, colleagues, and acquaintances. The republic is awake with great joy as it (along with much of the world) greets the new year with high hopes, and enthusiasm.

British, Pejitean, French, Dutch, and other foreign politicians, major figures, and celebrities have visited Tolmakia. Along with them, Tolmakian overseas workers, expatriates, and immigrants travel to the country to visit and explore the nation, or reunite with loved ones. Families get together, and spend time with each other. Bazaars and feasts spring up in virtually every park, public space, town, or backyard.

The Meddli Megamall's event, Holiday-Cray-Cray is a success. The event has attracted millions, and hosts many concerts, parties, and other proceedings. In the more rural landscapes or further away from the republic's towering skyscrapers, fireworks light up the tranquil sky and loud but eager noises fill up the air. The military also participated in the celebrations by sending up special shells that light up the sky with the republican colors. Prime Minister Madd Daneili appeared live in the Meddli Square, and gave a speech to his people, wishing them his best wishes after his attendance.

Aside from that, many companies and stores have seen record sales of products, and visits to famous Tolmakian sites and landmarks by both locals and tourists have surged beyond expectations during the last climax of the Green Months (Christmas). Many Tolmakians have expressed confidence that the republic has a bright future, not just economically, but generally. Remus Lorry, a famous Tolmakian internet celebrity renowned for his various genres of songs comments, and the Rocking Stone Magazine wishes Happy Holidays.

Yesterday multiple clusters of explosives were found underneath a bridge. The bomb disarming crew spent all night trying to disarm the explosives, but now it is too late. The bridge is gone. It killed one person. The explosion occurred earlier today. Around the same time as the explosion, a group of people entered the city of Sjisberg with tanks, guns, and other military devices. They are shooting anyone that enters and keeping anyone from exiting.
