The Daily Issues Thread [Read OP First]

[Ultamiya]

[Maraque]

The religious discrimination lawsuit filed by a Representative of the Royal Legislature was dismissed for a 3rd time.

He has said he will re-submit the motion a fourth time.

[Angry Amazons]

In other news, we have decided to accept an offer to help guarantee that the firstborn of every Amazon is a girl. The artificial insemination chamber idea is approved.

[Lykosia]

The Caribou Valley in Larson Forest is temporarily closed for public as two packs of wolves reported fighting each other to take over the area. And this is the second time in Lykosia's history.

[Chambri]

March 3, 2011, has certainly been the most-eventful day in the history of Chambri Colony.

First, as noted earlier, the Charter of Chambri Colony, an agreement between the Queendom of Angry Amazons and the Colony of Chambri, was ratified. It can be viewed here:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=98429#p4933477

The Angry Amazons have acquired an “insemination chamber” that will guarantee that the first born of every Angry Amazonian will be female. This has gone into effect in Chambri Colony as well. Though the Chambri men cannot explain the science behind the procedure, we rejoice because the breakthrough will end the need for castration as a punishment for failing to create a female offspring on the first reproductive attempt.

Military spending in Chambri Colony has hit a new high. Now, a combined 34 percent of our budget goes to an increased Angry Amazonian military and police presence in the colony, and the Chambri feel more loyal and bound to our Angry Amazonian overladies than we ever have. Political freedoms were 40/100 pre-contact, but now they’re down to 14/100, and soon enough, Goddess willing, all remaining vestiges of male independence will be stamped out.

The news report always ended right there. There was never any mention of anything else.

And that’s the way it was, March 3, 2011. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

[Secantrine]

Secantrine's main naval specialty is the Micro-Submarines, these micro-sub's reach a maximum length of 100m(mini-sub to other's standards). Secantrine makes them even more unique by designing them with peculiar equipment like onboard, waterproof grenade launchers; infantry deployer pods and an artillery gun which fires hyper-electrocuted shells over meduim distances.

So far the strangest in its arsenal is the (codenamed)'Hagfish' recently bought(along with blueprints) from Spartan Philidelphia. The response here confirms it.

The Hagfish is (so far)armed with a massive, multi-section drill; capable of underground insertions but that is all the devlopment so far. Further plans include waterproof gun batteries and a cargo hold.

[Rubyconia]

All Rubyconian citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements...
Barcoding is more efficient, I guess, but I long for the good old days, when we would just brand their hinds with branding irons...

[Ruskarkand]

The military forces of Ruskarkand have adopted a new lyricless anthem for their forces today.
(We always make our anthems lyricless, Dragoons cannot sing for shit, but they can play instruments very well.)

If the previous wars are anything to judge by, Imperial casualties will run well into the millions, and billions of Orks will be killed.

[Fatatatutti]

The latest fast-food craze to hit the pushcarts in Fatatatutti's streets is the deep-fried bacon-wrapped perogie-on-a-stick. They take a cooked perogie, wrap an almost-crispy strip of bacon around it and secure with a stick, then dip in a very light beer batter and deep-fry for a couple of minutes. The stick makes a convenient handle during both the cooking process and the eating process. The standard price is two for a USD.
