Regime Introduces Agriculture Tarriffs

June 29, 1998

Helmandi farmers, toiling for the Republic.

In a statement, President Mohammad Mohammad announced the introduction of tariffs on agriculture imports at the rate of Ten cents per Pound. His speech, while laden with rhetoric, emphasized the reasonableness of various forms of trade protectionism for the common Helmandi. The tariffs will come into function during the annual Yalda celebrations, pragmatically placed to allow changes in production to occur in anticipation of the new trade policy. In the speech, Mohammad Mohammad said:

The simple fact is that the Helmandi farmer suffers at the bottom of an intense bureaucratic regime. While theorists from the Rykovian to French have proposed radical solution to appease this issue that have only caused more suffering, common sense solutions such as reasonable trade tariffs are required to secure our future growth. This is not an unfair deal, I do not mean to spark conflict, Helmand is merely claiming her share.

Due to his previously laissez-faire policy on trade and other aspects of the Helmandi economy, shown by the limited privatization of the Hindu-Kush mining industry, political theorists have speculated the beginning of a shift in economic policy, although the cause has been attributed to anywhere from populist appeasement to the beckoning of new businesses.

The EC Army is coming

The future EC Battle Group

At present, national forces are not efficient enough. So an EC army could save money. The proposal of a European army is not new in the EC. Already in the year before there was the several plan, which could not be implemented at that time. But now times have changed and the proposal is again highly topical. In recent days, German Prime Minister Frank Barkly proposed in the EC council creating an army of the European community. The reasons for that are obvious. The unpredictable Frenchman has severely damaged their credibility and hope for peace. The globalized world is more messy and poses greater risks to the EC than would have been expected just a few years ago.

In addition, the small national armed forces in Europe are expensive and inefficient. This burdens taxpayers unnecessarily. The current equipment problems of some nations illustrate this impressively. Finally, with a European army, we could see to it that a war inside the European borders of the EC will be impossible. For this reason, it was suggested that the office of European Minister of Defense and European Defense Administration should be established. This Secretary of Defense should be largely given the same powers as a national Minister of Defense normally holds. Further control should be exercised by the responsibility of the European Defense Minister in front of the EC council.

The German government demanded that there should be nationally homogeneous combat units in the size of a maximum of 5000 men. Furthermore, only part of the existing national armed forces(30%) should be integrated into the European army. The goal is a European army with the same unity as any national army within their state. This European army should be the military instrument of a politically and economically united Europe. The formation of this army is divided into two phases :

In the first phase, the already available Allied troops would be placed under a European Defense Commissioner
In the second phase, the previously nationally separated troop contingents to European, d. H. nationally mixed associations are "merged".

As the largest "nationally homogenous" troop association, Berlin proposed the "combat group" of which there were four types (infantry, tanks, border patrol, fortress). A "European" division would consist of three of these combat groups, which according to the Prime Minister may by no means come from the same nation. The EC council will vote on it in the next session, the German PM Frank Barkly said that he is optimistic and sure that the proposition will passes the council.

Lack of reindeer prompts butter shortage, environmentalists and dairy enthusiasts alike worried
Trondheim - The last few winters have been extremely tough on Hammerfest. While the cold did not shake our resolve, many of our animals succumbed to its icy grips. A prominent example of this is the ongoing reindeer crisis. Reindeer, which are Hammerfest's main source of dairy, have increasingly been migrating north due to global warming, and out of the reaches of Hammerfest. The remaining reindeer population has been severely cut by the record-breaking winters observed in the last decade. The State Planning Committee has released plans to counteract the current crisis with breeding programs and alternative dairy-production means. In the meantime, Hammerfestings will have to endure their mornings without a traditional cup of coffee and reindeer-buttered toast.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces plan to increase relations globally, ending "cold" period in Hammerfesting international affiars
Oslo - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that after decades of relative isolation, Hammerfest will be conducting a plethora of diplomatic missions to different countries across the globe to increase our role in international politics. The decision comes shortly after the Ministry of Commerce and Trade announced that it would be slashing the cold war-era protectionistic tariffs in favor of freer international trade. Generalsekretær Rosdahl has assured that Enlightened Socialism will continue to be upheld in the highest degree within Hammerfest and that Hammerfesting citizens should be encouraged to try out foreign products at their local supermarket. Meanwhile, what's left of the private sector has been given a lifeline by the tariff reductions, as intranational trade was stifling.

Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announces new drilling, hydroelectric dam
Stockholm - The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has announced two high-scale development projects that are sure to invigorate the Hammerfesting economy. The first is the planned construction of a $3.5Bn natural gas drilling complex in the North Sea, expected to increase current petroleum production by more than 25%! Secondly, the Tyin Hydroelectric Power Station has officially been greenlit by the State Planning Committee and work is scheduled to commence shortly. Estimates show the completion of the dam in late 2002 or 2003, although some optimistic estimates place it as early as March 2001. The dam would have an installed capacity of 380MwH. The Ministry of Labor and Industry has allocated a healthy amount of government positions to the construction of the two projects.

Germany is becoming increasingly unattractive for foreign investors

The evening bank skyline in the center of Frankfurt am Main

Foreign investors have noticeably reduced their exposure to Germany in the past year, according to a recent study. At the same time, dissatisfaction with the general conditions has grown, as evidenced by the Europe-wide location attractiveness study by consulting firm EY (Ernst & Young), which was published on Tuesday. More than a third of the interviewed representatives of international companies who are already active in Germany commented negatively. It was a good quarter the year before.

"The fact that foreign investment in Germany is falling is a warning signal," emphasized Hubert Barth, chairman of the EY management board in Germany. "Germany is no longer the engine of growth in the European economy, but has the potential to do so." There is an urgent need for positive momentum and new growth impulses, and the state must actively take action

With the infrastructure, the stable political and legal environment as well as the qualification of the workforce Germany was able to score again. On the other hand, investors see weaknesses in the flexibility of employment law, in tax matters, in incentives and benefits for companies and in labor costs.

Sinhala Becomes Third ATS Member State

The ATS Territory of Sinhala wasted no time completing the vote for the islands next step in the world.

A total of 9 million votes were recorded electronically after nearly no time was given for political groups from any side of the issue to have a chance to influence to voters one way or another.

ATS officials were not allowed inside polling stations, nor were they allowed to make any statement be they official or unofficial regarding there opinion on what the people of Sinhala should do.

In the end the nation voted in favor of obtaining statehood in a moderate victory over independence, while the idea of remaining a territory fell into the slim 2% margin of the voting populous.

Victory in the vote was based on a majority vote in the popular vote rather than by region which is the norm for ATS election based on the preference of the Sinhala Magistrate Versha Misra.

Following the completion of the vote President Mo yin Zuigao met with now Governor Versha Misra to formalize the new state legally. votes to add an additional 100 congress members from Sinhala are expected to happen over the next few months.

Madam Governor Versha Misra did immediately make a few changes to the state upon it becoming a state. she declared Sinhala to be the state language rather than Japanese and declared Songjanese, Yaheli, Pavlovisk, and Japanese as recognized languages.

The ATS has added Sinhala as one of the ATS's official languages.

The ATS has also issued 200HKD to each person in Sinhala in celebration for there entrance though this is expected to cost the treasury around 2 billion to actually conduct. the money is to be collected when citicens go in to replace there territorial ID card with that of a citizen ID card.

Records from the vote are being provided to the APSIA organization by the Sinhala government.

Economic Report

Further Internal Investment: Desk of Graul Ekeenis

August 30, 1998

The head of economic affairs has approved a bill to utilize treasury surplus funds to further bolster the internal economy of Yahel. The oil market, while profitable, can prove to be volatile at times. The council has recognized this and planned to further drive the urbanization of Yahel. $25Bn has been allowed for this plan and has been allocated accordingly.

Infrastructure: One of the main factors that has kept much of Yahels land in a state of Rural dominance has been the lack of infrastructure to allow for population centers to be formed. Railways have been plotted out to intersect through many major and minor cities across sectors of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Yemen. The budget for this has been set for 5Bn.

Roadways: With the enormous amount of Mbali immigrants arriving in Yahel each passing year, the journey that each and every one of these persons must be shortened and optimized to provide the most efficient flow of population into new population centers. 5Bn will be allocated to begin the development of a Yaheli-Mbali highway to fulfill this task.

Urban Development: The remaining 15Bn has been allocated to develop the region of Oman and prepare it to become a population hotspot further along in its life. The infrastructure foundations for future cities as well as mass housing projects will take place to draw new immigrants to this area. Negotiations are underway with the Unions to push investments in this region to further draw potential immigrants with the prospect of bountiful job opportunities.

Germany major stimulus plan

The announce of the stimulus plan had a positive effect on the German market

For months now the government has been in the middle of an internal discussion about a fiscal stimulus package, the talks have been heated in the coalition, the SPD has been asking for a fiscal stimulus from the beginning with half of the CDUs, the other half was undecided, unlike to the CSU which was against a revival thinking that the country could hold and keep pace with a growth rate of around 1.3. But here things have moved a lot since last summer, now that Germany is almost in recession it changes everything, in addition to the very strong pressure of large industrial groups that push the government to act to revive growth.

That's why an emergency meeting was held at the Chancery on September 29, 1998, Prime Minister Frank Barkly announced his willingness to launch a major stimulus plan nationwide, in fact it had been prepared since November by declaring to the country that he had acknowledged his mistakes. The first day of negotiations was very intense, the CSU do not bother and part of the CDU. But on the fourth day of trading when the numbers fell by announcing a growth rate of around 0.4% things have started to move for the Prime minister project, the other half of the CDU who was reluctant have change your mind and side with the Prime Minister.

Scholz I Program

1) Investments: 45 to 50 billion mark will be invested in the modernization and creation of infrastructure (roads, railways, internet, subdivision, schools and universities etc ...).

2) Taxes and social contributions: Tax cuts on the different tax scales except the last, which will cost 8 billion mark.

3) Scrapping bonus: Buyers of new diesel cars separated from a car that is at least 5 years old will receive a purchase bonus of 7000 mark. For electric cars the purchase premium is capped at 9,500 mark.
4) Family allowances: A premium of 100 mark per child will be paid to families until the fourth month after the plan comes into force. Family family allowances for the German RMI (Hartz IV) will be increased by 40%.
5) Part-time unemployment: To limit economic redundancies, the social contributions paid by employers in the case of part-time unemployment measures will be 60% borne by the Federal Employment Agency.
6) Bank: To avoid the collapse of the German financial system, 8 billion mark will be made available to bail out Deutsche Bank as well as a 10% stake.

Pro-Business Legislation Proposed
10/3/1998

After intense Consortium lobbying, a proposal has been sent through Majiles-e Avali to expand the mining and resource privatization of the Hindu-Kush region to the entire nation. The resolution, which previously led to great economic prosperity, also bolstered corporate power, which has been opposed by many. Hoja Borujerdi, chairman of the premier Islamist Party Mujahadeen-e Tudehi called the proposal “More proof of the godless government’s separation from Allah and pandering to corporate dogs.” Most of Majiles-e Avali is yet to vote on it, and President Mohammad Mohammad has not graced opposition concerns with a statement.

Federal investigation concludes Algiers government involved in Sons of Allah and November 20th attacks, Prime Minister vows to take action, Europe United?
November 21st, 1998

NOVEMBER 20TH ATTACKS
Several hijackers managed to board Air France Flight 29, seizing control from the pilots. A distress call was issued by the pilots, whereupon fighter jets were scrambled to intercept. After repeated attempts to get the hijackers to divert, the plane was shot down after it entered a nose dive above Paris. Debris crashed into Aubersvilliers Commune, where it destroyed a building, a mosque, and a bicycle shop. Concurrent, in an action likely planned to coincide with the attack, a suicide bombing occurred near stuck traffic, destroying a bus. 228 died aboard Flight 29, 11 on the ground, and 17 due to the suicide bombing. 3 suicide bombers were captured by the Parisian Gendarmerie before they could detonate their bombs, and were interrogated. They were motivated by Islamic extremism, and came from Algiers.

SONS OF ALLAH RESPONSIBLE, BACKED BY ALGIERS
With no other radical Islamist extremist groups capable of coordinating the attack, all blame has been leveled against the "Sons of Allah", a terrorist organization which originated in Algiers in a horrific attack on a Z-Tech branch in Algiers. However, it has recently come to light, as announced by the Federal government today, that Algiers itself is responsible for the funding and creation of the Sons of Allah. In a damning report, Ivan Jung, a defector from the Atlantic Conglomerate, testified that Z-Tech was contracted to provide 100,000 guns to a group that the Algiers government called the "Sons of Allah", and that this was the same group responsible for these attacks. Z-Tech, which at that point was not aware of the Sons of Allah's purpose as a terrorist group, agreed to sell weapons to this so-called paramilitary, self-defense force, which in actuality was being used to plan horrific attacks against both their suppliers, and nations across the Mediterranean and beyond. Prime Minister Alain Clerc called upon the entire international community to take action against the rogue government.
EUROPE UNITED?
With recent attacks against European nations, both the EC and France have denounced the Sons of Allah. Such cooperation is unprecedented in Europe. It remains to be seen whether the two factions will cooperate or take their own stances.

Shortly after the Govarnment in Tokyo announced that Japanese would be declared the only legal language in the ATS anti govarnment protest broke out in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. the Island of Taiwan went as far as to threaten to leave the ATS and join Yahel.

The President has responded by ordering the Navy to deploy marines to Taiwan but that has resulted in a standoff between the 3rd fleet and the 4th and 5th fleets when the 3rd fleet moved in to protect Songjiang citizens from military intervention.

Though for now violence has been contained by the efforts of Knight Errant peace officers in Songjiangs major cities it is unknown how long this will last.

The president for now has ordered all military forces to withdraw and is now allowing Knight Errant to bring the cities back under control in order to avoid another civil war.

The Wuxing Management Corporation has already begun to move large amounts of its resources to Yahel and has been spending billions to move possibly millions of workers and jobs to Yahel do to the bad business climate in the ATS. At least one Japanese Corporation Mitsubishi has done the same while dozens of Japanese and Songjiangian corporations have been shifting over assets to Pavlovsk.

The balance of economic power has been slowly shifting away from the ATS for over a year now but now the shift seems to be moving at a much faster pace.

General Secretary Wermager dies, Örjan Lundström takes up mantel, answers questions

Stockholm - General Secretary Wermager died earlier this morning after a long battle with testicular cancer. He managed to fulfill his duties despite his ailment and will be missed. The open seat on the Council will be voted for by the National People's Congress within a week.

More importantly, Örjan Lundström, the former Deputy Secretary, has ascended to the title of General Secretary. Loved by the young populace for his relaxed and "chill" vibes, his popularity is sure to remain high. Within hours of being appointed, GenSec Lundström took to the Briefing Room to announce his plans for Hammerfest and answer many questions from those concerned about the sudden change in leadership. The following is an excerpt from the transcript.

Reporter: As the brand new General Secretary, do you have any immediate plans for office?
Lundström: The economy is honestly a mess. Excessive bureacracy by the state continues to screw with growth and foreign investment. The current rules for allowing private enterprise are extremely vague, and allow for a lot of questionable conduct that should be able to be eliminated from the get go. Enlightened socialism is pretty cool, don't get me wrong, but I do think that it needs some clear changes for the modern day and age. I share an idea with our fellow Rykovian Socialists: true socialism can not be obtained until a post-need world has been achieved.

Reporter: What do you think about Hammerfest's role in Europe, and on the global stage?
Lundström: Hammerfest has been quiet for far too long. Even as the Sons of Allah terrorist organization attacked Paris and Algiers, we stayed silent. It is time for us to be active, to vibe check our enemies and support our allies. Like, you know what would be really cool? Us merging with Qamutikrai.
Lundström: The State Office will inform the people within the coming days. Next question?

Örjan Lundström has been a long-standing member and chief officer of the Democratic Coalition, Hammerfest's most liberal party in terms of politics and economics. Hammerfest is expected to become much more free in the coming years if Lundström continues to remain in power.

CIUDAD BELDAD, SANTA ROSA — In their yearly policy manifesto, the Socialist Party of Santa Rosa announced their intentions to write a new constitution for Santa Rosa, a project they call the "Socialist Constitution for the 21st Century."

The new constitution would deal with several human rights, such as right to healthcare, right to a clean environment, right to education, among others. Additionally, it would provide minority groups with explicit rights.

The manifesto additionally vaguely referenced the "democratization of capital" being included in the constitution.

President Terence Cola did not comment on the matter, calling it a "issue of the Congress and the will of the people."

Poutine: we must be the 'pioneers' of Asian re-stabilization

In one of his rare public appearances, General Secretary Poutine gave his first public speeches since his inauguration to the office of General Secretary at the State University of Economics and Service in Vladivostok as part of longer visit to the city of Vladivostok.

[...] The current situation within East Asia-- one of infighting and destabilization-- shows us one thing, without a doubt. It shows us that the Vladivostok, Siberia, and Pavlovsk as a whole must act as a vanguard of stability within the East, and work as the pioneers of re-stabilizing the Asian political and economic situation. The Pavlovski people must work tirelessly to restore what has been lost to the peoples of Asia, and guide the continent towards a new, enlightened age.

Supporters of the General Secretary have hailed the speech as 'rousing', and applaud him for vowing to take action against the political and economic crises that the dissolution of the ATS has created. Critics of Poutine have said that the speech is 'cause for alarm', and that any Pavlovski interference within East Asia might only cause greater instability.

No concrete action has been taken by the Pavlovski government regarding the dissolution of the ATS, though Poutine's speech implies action will be taken soon.

Qatar Races To Desalinate, Store Water To Meet Nation’s Growing Thirst

Reservoirs and desalination technology may lack the glamor and prestige of new skyscrapers, but the cost of quenching Qatar’s growing thirst appears to be outpacing spending on the country’s new corporate facilities.

This month, SMS, and Wuxing said they’ve awarded tens of billions of dollars worth of contracts to construct new water desalination plants and storage tanks.

That includes 46.7 billion HKD on mega-reservoirs that SMS calls the largest water storage expansion project in Yahel’s history.

To put the cost of the project in context, that’s more than four times the $10.3 billion that regional business publication MEED estimates is being spent to construct and expand Qatar’s new corporate holdings.

With negligible surface and groundwater supplies, Qatar largely depends on desalination plants to produce water.

At the moment, the country is believed to only have a 48-hour supply of water, meaning a production interruption could quickly cause hardships for the country’s residents and businesses and with the rapidly expanding population this time could soon be diminished to as little as 12 hours.

The mega-reservoir project aims to increase Qatar’s water security by extending that supply to one week.

The first phase of the project consists of two dozen reservoirs across five properties in Um Baraka, Um Salal, Rawdat Rashid, Abu Nakhla and Al-Thumama. The massive concrete reservoirs will have a total capacity of 23 billion gallons of water – the equivalent of nearly 41,820 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

A construction timeline has not been mentioned by Wuxing or SMS in a statement. Previous reports said that the facilities, which were to be topped with solar panels, should be completed by 2001.

Meanwhile, authorities also awarded a 1 billion contract to Aztechnologies, which will build Qatar’s first reverse-osmosis water desalination plant.

Making seawater drinkable is typically an energy intensive process. One of the advantages of reverse-osmosis – which, in simple terms, involves applying pressure to force liquid through a membrane filter – is that it requires relatively less electricity than other forms of desalination.

According to the government, Qatar has three primary desalination plants – one in Ras Abu Fontas south of Doha and two in Ras Laffan – that use thermal technology, which involves heating water until it evaporates. The vapors are then cooled, resulting in purified water.

An additional thermal desalination plant is being constructed by SMS and Wuxing. in Ras Abu Fontas and is scheduled to be completed this year.

The location of the reverse-osmosis facility was not mentioned. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the third quarter of 2000.

The capacity of each new desalination plants are estimated to be 360 million imperial gallons (1,600,000 cubic meters) a day.

All projects are being payed for by loans from HSBC and taxes with the intent that taxes will eventually pay off the loans, along with payments by the corporations that are supporting the projects.

Election is coming on the 6 June in Germany

The election of the EC Parliament will take place EC-wide from 3 to 6 June. In Germany, it's on Sunday, the 06th June in the voting booth. Preparations for the association campaign '' of course Europe '' under the umbrella of the DNR are in full swing. On a new website, and stand in the city you can already inform yourself about the European elections. Since a few days, a new website is online, which provides information on the European elections - from the request of the German Conservative Society and its members on the DNR profile to the electoral programs and candidate lists of the German parties, which are represented in the Bundestag. The site is constantly being expanded and updated.

In the near future you will find detailed information about the association campaign '' of course Europe ''. Plans include an action manual, voter mobilization materials, information on Europe and security, and much more. The kick-off event will take place on 2 April at the European House in Berlin. The CDU wants to win the European elections with a campaign tailored entirely to Chancellor Frank Barkly. The CDU leader promised on Saturday at the party congress in Berlin stability, reforms for more economic power and more proximity to citizens in the EU. The German PM Frank Barkly said :

"...Europe must be a continent that shows that you can succeed in peace, freedom and prosperity. It does not matter who will solve the tasks in Europe in the next few years. The Union stands for a clear no to the communitarization of debts among the euro countries and for more competitiveness. We need to coordinate our economic policies more closely. The EC must focus more on innovative products. Europe is proud of its values, but we also want it to remain an interesting, exciting, modern continent...",

Barkly demanded: "Europe must be closer to the people." If one fails to explain the rules of European cooperation on the marketplaces, one should not be surprised that people become skeptical. The water passage of showerheads does not belong to European decision-making authority. Leading candidate David McAllie also said: "We do not want a European Community that gets bogged down in a bureaucratic little one."

Humey CEO Shen De calls for "a free market" in South East Asia

With the end of what the Asian Trade Sphere used to represent, the communist warlords are grabbing control of what used to a great and prosperous land. I, like many other hard workers from Songjiang, had to leave our homes and our beloved cultural roots and see them being seized with brute force by the communist menace of the Wei warlords. It is time for the people of these beautiful land to reconquer what is their by right.

These are the words extracted from an interview published this morning on "The Econometrics" to Shen De, CEO, and founder of Humey, one of the leading finance companies in Asia. What many articles call "the textbook definition of a self-made man", Shen was born in Hanoi in 1961 from a family of the local middle-class; the third son of seven brothers, the boy was sent to work as assistant port is an important accounting firm of the city where he learned his passion for numbers and finance before gaining the sympathies of the office and being awarded a scholarship in the University of Beijing where he graduated with "cum laude" in Asset Management. One year later he opened his own investment fund, Humey; after 8 years, the fund had already multiplied his base investment by 10000%, arriving to manage an impressive 5 billion dollars by 1997, making him one of the most promising minds in the financial world of today.
Always a ferocious opposer of state intervention, the man has already hit the headlines in the past years for his comments against heavy corporate taxation in Songjiang and for calling labor rights "an illegal attempt by the state at the limiting the rights of the hard-working captains of industry". He has described himself as a "total-libertarian that values individual freedom over everything else", because "if the individual is happy, the society is happy". In 1995, with the discovery of several containers full of baboons, the man was accused of running an illegal smuggling ring in South East Asia, dealing with anything from drugs to exotic animals; the accusation faded into nothing following the refusal of several key testimonies to take part in the trial.
But in the end, in this time of great turmoil in Asia this controversial figure is just one of many voices calling for a radical change in the continent.

From the time Balaton became communist, large measures were placed in order to prevent anybody from exiting the nation. This meant very little Balaton citizens could get into our borders. Recently however, a large refugee smuggling operation has been uncovered after two trucks part of the operation were captured. The men driving the trucks were captured and upon interrogation they have revealed that this operation has been going on for several months now. Wether it is a crack in Balatonian Security or a well planned operation is not yet known, however one thing is for certain: Border security must increase.

International Relations
Yahel
Due to the friendly relations with the nation of Yahel, the Carpathian government proposes the "Oil Exploitation Initiative". After WW2, most of the oil fields, especially in Ploiestim, were abandoned due to the damaged and old machinery operating there. As Carpathia has found other sources of income, Carpathian petroleum became less and less common, and slowly the fuel prices increased. The government now sees and opportunity to change this situation, and as part of the Glasnost community this dream might become real. As part of the project, Carpathian workers will be able to move to Yahel in order to learn the techniques needed to extract petroleum and repair the facilities, and the Yaheli workers will move to Carpathia in order to help fix the clogged pipelines and make the Carpathian oil fields work again. "This exchange of experience will be valuable for both sides of the deal.", said president Gregor Stanev in the last press conference.

"Ciufulești-Pătrățoasa" Medical Facility - Where are they now?
The researchers at CPMF have managed to create the world's first cloned pigs, using a brand new process called nuclear transfer. A total of 5 pigs have been cloned, named Bă, Băă, Băă, 'Interesant" and 'Hă?'. The pigs are expected to live around 5 years. The current head researcher of the facility declared that "This is a very important scientific breakthrough, which will help us in many other projects.".

Crisis Report

General Report: I'm moments away from quitting my job.

January 17, 1999

With the new Muxing management of Qatar and their overseas Songjiang territory, the nation has come into a large influx of new immigrants. Current reforms are ongoing to support the new influx in population, such as the opening of thousands of new jobs, new water distillation systems aided by Wuxing, and acquiring new agricultural land. Arabia is infamous for its lack of farmland, with only around 2% arable. With the upcoming operation, that issue will be taken care of.

OPERATION BENIS STORM
Ghabar has been a thorn in the side of both Yahel and all of the middle east for too long now. With their inhumane treatment of their citizens and meddling in the oil market, they have proven as nothing but an issue for furthering our goals. Due to such, the invasion of Ghabar will be launched upon the verification of this document. The harvest will prove extremely beneficial to our nation. Not only will we be further securing the global oil market, but we will be securing some of the best farmland in the middle east, liberating millions of citizens and connecting our nation back up to the big red bear. With the corporate mongrel gone, our power over the middle east, if not all of Asia, will be consolidated and none will dare attack our ideals.

New Year Brings Crashing Economies, And Global War?

Only 17 days into the new year and the world seems to be coming apart at its seams starting with the dissolution of the ATS, and now The Nations of Algiers and ACZTI have engaged in open warfare with one another.

Early this morning ACZTI troop ships attempted to reinforce existing ground troops in the Algiers region, The Algiers Navy mobilized to repel the incoming fleet of over 100 ships initially by threatening to fire on them but according to witnesses when the ACZTI fleet refused to stop the Algiers fleet opened fire in what is now being called the single largest naval battle in 50 years.

Initially things went as expected with the AC fleet managing to disable or sink over a dozen Algerian ships within five minutes.

However after the 5 minute mark Algiers air support arrived in force and though they took heavy losses managed to completely destroy the AC flagship killing the admiral and command staff as well a effectively neutralizing the AC ability to rearm and resupply its air assets.

Following this the Algerian Air Force quickly obtained air superiority allowing the Algerian Navy to encircle the Ac fleet and prevent large numbers of the AC's ships from escaping when the Algerian gained the upper hand.

The Algerian Navy is believed to have lost a mere 19 ships in the battle with a dozen others badly damaged and non combat worthy, while AC managed to pull only two Missile cruisers from the fight still in Combat ready condition, as well as a mixed group of destroyers,frigates, and cruisers numbering about 40 total.

Reports indicate that over the Ac has lost over 50,000 sailors, 3,000 Army personnel, and it seems likely that they lost 10,000 marines that were aboard the troop ships that were destroyed with there fleet.

Algerian Naval losses are believed to be less that 5,000, though they lost around 4,000 personnel from the army in a failed effort to remove AC Army troops from Algiers lands.

Reports of bodies from both navies washing up on shore are coming from communities on both the African and European coastline within 100 miles of the battle disrupting tourism in those regions.

War Declared
January, 17 1999

Punjabi Cavalry Mobilized

President Mohammad Mohammad has announced that a state of war now exists between the state of Helmand and Panjab. This declaration, stemming from the refusal of Panjab to be reasonable in the wake of a border incident, was expected, as our media has shown the evils of the Panjabi state. In a speech, the President said:

Helmand has seeked reconciliation with the Panjabi government constantly, yet they stand unresponsive and defiant. This pattern of behavior is shown with their constant agitation of the state of Uttar, must be stopped. We merely intend to install a more pacifistic government and rebalance the scales of power in the nation.

Previously mobilized divisions have begun entry into the Panjabi state, and while critics condemn it as a warmongering action, the opinion is clear: It’s clear they want to beat us, unless we get them first!

The EC is on the brink of war, Election updates, and Camino Nuevo receives government grant

In recent headlines the Atlantic Conglomerate and The Kingdom of Algiers opened fire upon each other. Each side suffered from losses but it seems the Atlantic Conglomerate faced the worse side of things. In the early hours after the altercation the Alician congress and Presidential palace remained relatively silent until President Cortez released a short statement and had the following to say during a last minute press conference
" Any hostility shown towards our allies is immensely unacceptable. I have been in contact with all EC members are talks of a path forward are in motion. I know the speculation of war has been on many peoples minds but we must remember war is a very serious option. Please stay tuned for updates as we move forward during this touchy time."

After Cortez's statement many conservative representatives and senators spoke out against her. Senator Orlando Santana filed a motion of war against the Kingdom of Algiers. Senator Santana will need 66 votes to send the motion to the president, where if Cortez motioned for war she would only need 51 votes. Santana has been a senator since 1992 and has been known to have an aggressive stance on foreign policy. Senate Majority leader and two time presidential nominee Henry Bowman stated he has been in contact with Senator Santana and that forcing a vote on the motion is still on the table.

With the globe at conflict the election of 2000 is still in full swing. Only one candidate from each major party has declared their candidacy and they are both women. President Cortez for the liberal party and Representative Rita Navarro for the conservative. Political experts across the spectrum have called Navarro the fiercest candidate to face the President yet. Navarro won every election she has ran, all of which have been in liberal districts. Navarro has kept quiet when it comes to the possible war with Algiers except stating "An attack against a member of the EC is a attack against Alicia. If i was President the attack would've never happened."
Five national polls have been released so far on if the election was held today. One shows the race as a toss up, one shows the election going for Cortez by 2 percentage points, and the other three show Navarro becoming the first President of African descent by 3 percentage points. Time will only tell who will lead Alicia until the next century.

Pharama powerhouse Camino Nuevo has branches all over the world, including in Asia, and supplies medications and medical equipment to countless countries. Nuevo has a partnership with the University of Madrid where they receive funding but for the first time ever the company received a $250mn grant from the federal government for research.
The company has stated the money will go to research for heart problems such as palpitations.
