Blinken: SM is Calling the Shots
| By Redis Tric-Dean

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has implied that Southeast Marajarbia, a member of the United Federation, is leading the UF from behind closed doors. Blinken, who has previously served as a voice for the Biden Administration's attempts to delegitimize national sovereignty issues, attempted to pain the UF as a colony-focused alliance standing against national sovereignty.

Meretica is a leading member of the Federation, with former Senator Nome serving as the Chairman of the Federal Parliament. Nome and King Organa have been leading the talks from the Meretican perspective with NATO. Nome was very disappointed to hear Blinken share these things. "It's distressing to see a once-great protector of democracy ignore so many crucial facts regarding why SM is taking care of multiple nations," Nome said. "It also shows the hypocrisy of the United States as we speak. Look at Puerto Rico. Look at Guam. Look at what happened to Hawaii back in the day. Is it truly any different in the long run? Truthfully, It is because at least SM is constantly looking to take care of its protectorates in the interest of giving them freedom rather than making them true colonies-- excuse me, territories." Nome was then whisked away by an aid regarding a prospective NAP with NATO.

President Bell and other members of the Meretican Parliament were unavailable for comment. However, Francis Dubois, a leading presidential candidate, largely agreed with Nome. "You can be assured that this type of behavior will not be accepted from any nation, friend or foe, under a DuBois Administration," he promised at a rally in Vienna. "Neither my Administration nor the Administrations of our peers should be allowed to act so inappropriately on the international level. Also, assuming that Senator Nome did say that, while I strongly agree with that statement, I do not think that it was his place to comment on these affairs."

OOC: Keep in mind that this is the free press, not a government-run organization, whereas Blinken was a member of the government... Theoretically, that quote could've been made up... you have no idea.

Following the release of this news article, the Government of the Marajarbian Federation has officially ordered that any and all American ships in Marajarbian waters be searched and have their cargoes seized should weapons or heavy duty equipment be identified. Another condemnation of NATO is also passed, solely because of the overall attitude of each NATO representative at the talks, especially for attempting to get the Government to sign on a peace treaty that does not impact NATO is any way that UF wishes NATO to be impacted. This comes as the second day of events in Andreusville commences with the coronation of Emperor Jackson.

Secretary Of State Antony Blinken:

---

It comes as newfangled and baffling to us that the Marajarbia government is trying to throw its weight around over a piece of article. In Meretica there is freedom of speech and expression so any journalist can post his opinion or article in any major newspaper. But it becomes grotesque when the government of some country becomes exasperated about this.
Every day we read different articles in different newspapers but the United States government doesn't act on the words of newspapers. Because we are a government and we have different sources which are very helpful and vast. It's a burlesque of government to act on such minor things.
The United States Of America abhor Marajarbia unjustified actions and aggression.
The United States abide by international laws and rule of law convention and the United Nation's Charter. Although, we demand an explanation in accord to the international law of seas for the justification of these checks.

[Gonswanza]

The Gonswanzan press is attempting to gather interviews from the "Five Horsemen" themselves, though few words have been gathered given their emergency orders to be on alert at all times. Yet, the captain of Pestilence was reached, with this transcript being released on his behalf (out of mild worry that he may be going against Presidential orders. Laura Ortiz personally had to sign off on the release and assure him that no, it was never against emergency protocol in the first place.)

Press: Begin interview. Captain Scheirke, 1300 local time, classified location. Is this correct?

Captain: Yes. That is correct. Are you sure we should be doing this?

Press: This is just a simple interview, I don't see why not. Now, why did you join the navy?

Captain: My country called for me, my family needed the money. The mines were burying my father alive in debts due to some false promises of wealth he too eagerly ate up. A fool he was, blowing out money to try to live the best life, only to work himself to death. At least he found peace in the end.

Press: Well, that's... Something. Regardless, what of your mother?

Captain: Alive and well now, in a retirement home. I would visit her more often, but the nature of my work keeps me from doing so.

Press: Any other family? Like kids, nephews, etc?

Captain: I cannot answer that question, for their safety. But what I can say is that my family is living their best life, while I sleep beyond the waters of my home.

Press: That being Gonswanza, right?

Captain: Yes.

Press: Well uh, what do you know of the others?

Captain: War is a terrifying presence, the only other person I'm aware of that can easily scare Our Glorious President into a stiff and alert position. Conquest is more laid back in spite of his stature. Death is... Strange. And Famine is just there, a ghostly figure that only seems to return direct calls from his comrades himself, rather than letting the crew do so.

Press: So, you use the names of the ships to refer to yourselves?

Captain: Far simpler than codenames or callsigns or even going by a first or last name basis. War, Famine, Pestilence, Conquest, Death. Simple. Quick. Easy to recall.

Press: Any secrets that you can tell us about these ships? What makes them so special?

Captain: That information is classified.

Press: Wait, what about uh, naval traditions? Or the-

Captain: I believe we are done here.

Press: NO! WAIT! HOLD ON! WE NEED MORE-

After that, the line was cut, with the press deciding to release the transcript.

[Deblar]

IC: The Deblarian Department of State would denounce the "senseless mudslinging" between NATO, UF , and others, calling the behaviors of the respective organizations "childish and unnecessary". Deblar would also express interest in joining the Council of Nations.

ISC: The Deblarian Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps have worked together to begin development of a hypersonic-speed-capable unmanned aerial vehicle, with designs so far focusing on sleek designs to allow for high speeds of more than twice the speed of sound as well as fly at altitudes of up to 90 km. The first prototypes were tested off the coast, and so far results have been largely positive.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

GLA forces remain underground planting mines and waging a war of terror against the communists oppressors and civilian armed resistance grows as does the general anti-SM sentiment. Civilians resort to dropping gas grenades on clumps of SM soldiers and the GLA says: This is what happens when a country that nobody likes tries to occupy you they meet fierce resistance, if they had the support of the people then they would not have to rule by force yet look at the scenes outside. Death and war rage through the Galapagos thanks to these communist slavers, and by now they have shed any pretense of upholding democracy in favor of keeping their one part state. We are merely giving the people what they want, freedom. As the crowds say “We will never be slaves” this means we will never submit to SM and their genocidal communist dictatorship we will fight until we rid these menaces from our lands.

Thanks to the formation of the Marajarbian Federation, 120,000 Troops are organized and sent over to major cities within the borders of the Galapagos to secure the Galapagos, protect tourists and immigrant groups, and create a safer environment. These troops are more than capable of combat due to their many years of honorable service.

Meanwhile, Gov. Edwards leaves the Galapagos, and Gov. Andrews is sworn in in front of a closed-door audience. Gov. Andrews immediately continues a small portion of Gov. Edwards agenda, which includes the continuation of the Hard Labor Policy for a little over the regular Marajarbian minimum wage. Some of Gov. Andrews agenda also includes freedom of religion and bringing organizations such as the IGRB under the Government’s banner as a constitutional organization dedicated to providing the Galapagosian populace with free and fair jobs for all upon confirmation of the Galapagos being stable enough. However, due to the radicalization of terrorist groups such as the GLA, there are laws put in place to ensure that any Galapagosian citizens having meetings must have them in front of Marajarbian Troops, and that any employee that does not arrive to work and/or escapes from any hard labor policy factory or farm with GLA assistance is tracked down and brought back by government officials or skilled bounty hunters. A random maximum security prison is also repurposed for any and all captured GLA officials that have proven themselves to be extremely violent can stay after being sentenced.

Sealand is proud to be a new member of the Council. We have no intention of leaving NATO, and we have high hopes for the alliance. We have been disappointed at the end to negotiations between NATO and UF, and hope to be a valuable member of NATO and the Council. We have also detonated a nuclear weapon of 300kt.

[New Provenance]

The Atlantican Defense Office has covertly launched the development of space-based nuclear deliverance and target elimination systems through the launch and assembly of a fleet of 'Star Defense' weapons-ready satellites, each equipped with four nuclear warheads that may be replenished by the launch of an unmanned robotic space shuttle mission to the satellite. The Defense Office aims to launch 150 of these Star Defense satellites within two years, and 300 within three and a half years.

Development on rapid hypersonic missiles are also rapidly underway, having started under Project Orison in 2037. Covert preliminary testing of a Mach 6.7-capable rapid hypersonic nuclear ballistic missile is underway at covert locations in the North Atlantic, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive, with the superiors in London pleased and the generals ecstatic to know the operational date of June 2041 could be achievable.

[Vikanias]

The door would open, 12 seals in Tan suits and hockey masks would shout for everyone to get on the ground. One emomyee reaches fro the alarm but is gunned down. The team quickly head for the vault and and entered, getting as much money as they can before leaving, the police show up. One employee secretly pressed the button and the cops are here, a roomie member of the criminals opens fire with his pistol but gets wounded.

“Get Ron back here, cops won’t budge anytime soon. Know what fuck it just rush out, Dutch you get Ron!”

The criminals bust out and beginning moving up, some cops are already dead/wounded as the criminals take cover and advance back to the cars. Dutch and Ron are gunned down and killed, by the time the crew get to the cars only 9 are left. Car 1 has 2 guys in it, car 2 has 4 guys in it and car 3 has 3 crew. The crew is getting away but the police have prepared for them and popped car 3’s tires, the driver is killed and seal sitting next to him takes over the wheel. Car 1 crashes into a cop car and both tumble down into a ditch. Car 3 finally gives in as a cop car pulls up and shoots the second driver. Car 2 get rammed off the road into a pole, the driver is killed and the remaining three get the remains 545K out of 900K the car and flee.

“We can… still get out of here, the cops think we are dead…”

The police are still looking for the remaining three, the chief expects that this was part of a mob attack.

The Marajarbian Government simply says "If America believes that this newly-formed government is calling the shots in what is considered to be a powerful alliance led by powerful nations, then they will see what they want to see as this provides the world with enough proof that the United States has authoritarian levels of control over NATO, whilst also prohibiting democratic elections for NATO leadership to take place.".

‘‘Debate Turns Hot On New Nuclear Energy Bill:’’

---

(CNBC, Washington DC)Today was a very stuffy day in Washington DC concerning the political environment. As the debate on the ‘‘Nuclear Energy Bill’’ started things were looking quite good but as the debate continued things became incandescent. Republicans call the bill ‘‘ a fruitless endeavour’’ to save the climate and environment. With Bernie Sanders hitting out on republicans calling them ‘‘representing corporate interests’’ this incensed the Republicans who swore to oppose the bill and pledged that the bill will not pass the senate.
Major Republicans like Ted Cruz adopted a neutral stance including Mitch McConnell who said quote:
‘‘We are ready to vote on this bill and are in favour of signing this bill into law.’’
Tomorrow the House will vote on the bill.

AGM 183A Arrow

---

In August 2038 the US airforce awarded a $480 million dollars contract to Lockheed Martin for the development of an air-launched hypersonic missile weapon. Later on, the amount of the missile development contract was increased to $2 billion dollars. It is based on the company's earlier developments conducted together with DARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency). It is planned to reach the initial combat deployment stage as soon as 2041.
This hypersonic strike weapon is being developed by the US Airforce (USAF) to counter the latest generation of weapons developed by both China & Russia.
To attain hypersonic speeds, the missile consists of a solid-fuel rocket booster, fitted with pop-out tail fins, and an unpowered boost-glide vehicle.

---

After being propelled to a specific speed and altitude atop the rocket booster, the wedge-shaped boost-glide vehicle continues to its target at a hypersonic speed and then the warhead will descend at speeds of up to 20 Mach to strike a ground target. It's also worth noting that General Gebara might have been talking about the average speed of ARRW's boost-glide vehicle warhead. In the past, DARPA had said that ‘‘ the boost-glide vehicle being developed for its Tactical Boost Glide (TBG) programme could potentially hit a peak speed of Mach 20.’’

---

---

Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor on both of these programmes and ARRW's boost-glide vehicle is understood to be derived from the TBG one.

---

---

The US Airforce successfully conducted the first flight test of AGM183A, on a B-52 Stratofortress aircraft on June 12 2039 at Edward's Airforce base, California, and a last such test occurred in August 2040. A sensor-only version of the ARRW prototype was carried externally by a B-52 Stratofortress during the test to gather environmental and aircraft handling data.
The US Airforce was, as of April 2040, was considering using the remaining fleet of B-1 Bombers as AGM183A firing platforms, with each aircraft carrying up to 31 of the weapons mounted internally and on external pylons.

---

The Missile might be deployed by bombers such as B-1, B-2 and B-52 as well as the new generation B-21.
The test gathered data on drag and vibration impacts on the weapon itself and on the external carriage equipment of the aircraft. The prototype did not have explosives and it was not released from the B-52 during the flight test. This type of data collection is required for all Airforce weapon systems undergoing development. Regardless of which platform carries the ARRW, it's clear that it will provide the United States with a significantly enhanced short or no-notice strike capability, especially against time-critical or otherwise high-value and highly defended targets. Combined with its speed and level atmospheric flight profile, the boost-glide vehicle will be able to manoeuvre in flight, making it even tougher for hostile air defences to defeat.

---

Specifications & Launch Platform:
The AGM183A has a maximum speed of 15,345 miles per hour and it is an unmanned glide-body hypersonic missile that is designed to be deployed from an aircraft before being boosted above Mach 6 by a rocket and then gliding to its targets. It is a fairly light missile (it has a starting weight of about 3 to 3.5 tons). We also know that ARRW has a range of at least 2,000 miles, it looks like a missile with conventional proportions, but the ‘‘body’’ is in fact, a solid booster that is jettisoned in the flight, and the flat glider that kills the target is hidden under the nose cone which will allow its launch platform to remain outside the reach of hostile defences. It's an area in which the United States is concentrating its efforts in a bid to match similar developments of China and Russia. Given their tremendous speed and ability to manoeuvre in the atmosphere, hypersonic missiles are seen as particularly hard to defend against using conventional missile defence systems, which are designed to intercept and counter traditional ballistic missile threats, the trajectory of which are much more predictable than their Hypersonic counterparts. The strategic bombers B-52H Stratofortress will be used as the carrier for the AGM183A missiles at the initial stage, however, other aircraft are planned to be used for this purpose in the future, including B-21 Raider and even the F-15E/EX Strike Eagle fighters one missile could be suspended under the fighter fuselage.
US Airforce will test ARRW on both B-52 and B-1. Both bombers will carry the missile externally;
The B-1 will carry ARRW on six external hardpoints that have not been used since the START treaty was signed and B-1 was withdrawn from nuclear role. ARRW could be employed by the F-15, as well.

[Gonswanza]

Another interview is run-up today, this time from the bridge of Conquest as Ishmael Hartt formally invites the press for the small "meeting" as he put it.

Press: Begin interview. Captain Hartt. 1400 local time, classified location. Is this correct?

Captain: [checking a pocket watch] Yes, it should be. Unless there's some anomaly that warped time and space, of course.

Press: Are you inferring that such a thing is possible?

Captain: No, you idiot. Now, continue.

Press: Er, sorry sir! Why did you join the navy?

Captain: I had a calling to the sea since childhood. When the navy offered their hand, I took it. My father was a sailor, my mother served in the navy, as did my grandfather and great grandfather. They were married to fishermen or those who sailed goods around the world. So it was almost necessary that I continue the tradition.

Press: Interesting. It says here you were involved in past military exercises?

Captain: Frozen Fury 2015, Pacific Storm 2018, I could go on. Only per President's orders, of course. If only she'd stop pestering me about that medal.

Press: The Presidential Cross of Honor?

Captain: Yea, that. I only did what was necessary, leading people out of the fire and to safety, even jumping into the flames myself to rescue my fellow man. Nothing impressive, nor commendable.

Press: But even the public regards you as a hero from that incident aboard the Democracy!

Captain: Had we not lost that vessel in port, I would still be there, sipping coffee in the lounge under a different captain. And I wouldn't be bothered every now and then for a medal I didn't deserve. End of story.

Press: Uh, what about family? Friends?

Captain: My family is none of your business. Friends as well.

Press: Oh, er, perhaps we can ask about your choice of tobacco?

Captain: Why would you ask about my habits so suddenly? Aren't these questions getting a little invasive?

Press: I mean, that's what's on the paper here sir.

Captain: Fine, I'll humor you with this. Once upon a time, there were five kids. Then there were three. Two left for sea, one stayed home sick. When only one came back the sickly one had left. And then there was one. End of interview. Guards? Take them away. I want them off my ship before sunset.

Press: WAIT! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! I HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE PRES-

A bit of a rude end, though that would conclude the latest interview with another "horseman" of the apocalypse.

The president has said nothing about it, though her advisor had to mention to the press that if need be they can be kicked off the ship. Especially if they become a security concern.

[Janpia]

Recently, a newly discovered fascist rebel base was discovered at Area 64 or known as the Chikali Mountain Range. They called themselves the Munchen Nationalist Front. The name of the group came from the longest river of Janpia, Munchen River, which cuts the nation's geography in to half. The group was remained secret by the Revolutionary Council for the fear of adding more support from the public, and lowering their strategic advantage.
With the Revolutionary Council on debate of methods to use against these rebels, wasting precious time on internal drama affairs, deeming them as a minor or small threat, and due to the revolutionary ministers incompetence on their actions, the MNF has managed to overwhelm the revolutionaries who setted up a perimeter at the bottom of the mountain. Thus, now threatening the cities of Chinchyenat and Katyacha City. The Revolutionary Council is then forced to release the rebel group's information to the public.

With the current situation going worse for the revolutionaries soldiers on Katyechinci Peninsula, the People's Marshall, Marc Andruvinov, setted out a speech in Fort Kalinka in an attempt to unite the nation, and to inspire the public

"We, Janpians, are always proud of our history. The glorious overthrow of our Emperors, the revolts against our colonial masters, and the long revolution that brought us to where we are today. The story which we tell like fairy-tales in gleaming lights. We have faced challenges. But as always, the Janpian People will always rise above the ruins with a bond stronger than before. Let us not disappoint our great revolutionaries that fought for us. In return, let us unite for the future of Janpia.. nay, the world that is envisioned by our revolutionary ideals!"

[The Territories of Sealand]

IC: Sealand has recently met its former targets. Now Sealand aims to have around 50 nuclear weapons of around 400-500kt, as well as a general increase in military spending. Seeing an end to NATO-UF tensions now impossible, we must prepare for war, just in case. Little brother promises to only use its WMDs if a foreign nation has used some on Sealand, and that the military buildup is purely for defensive purposes. As such, Antrov will still be at the coronation, despite the tensions with SM. We are hoping that it is in no one's best interests to start WW3, but seeing the attempted NAP fail, it seems like the best course of actions.

The SSS are also gearing up for the crisis between NATO and UF, and have plans to infiltrate SM's intelligence services, while ensuring that this doesn't happen to the SSS. The plan to infiltrate SM's secret service is undetermined, and top secret. Whether the plan will even be carried out is uncertain. Sealand does intend to keep a close watch on SM, though not by the SSS until further notice. In the meantime, it is made mandatory for SSS members to wear cameras on their collars, to ensure that no one is engaging in suspicious activity. SSS members are also encouraged to be wary of other SSS members, and to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.

[South Olpen]

SIC: The shadowy director of the SSD, known only as F, has ordered an intelligence operation against NATO espionage and anti-espionage agencies. They will also begin Project Sea Axe, a top secret infiltration mission. SSD agents will enter the guard service of prominent NATO members. These agents will dormant, and they might even die for there target, but if the Sea Axe Protocol is ever engaged, they will terminate the leaders of those nations immediately. The agents will be given fake identities and will not communicate with SSD headquarters, known as Facility M, at all, breaking this only when the SSD orders the Sea Axe Protocol.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Breaking News!:

As the coronation of Emperor Jackson has commenced, two statements were released. One statement was regarding the NATO-UF tensions and the increasing possibility of inter-factional warfare in the form of a Cold War, and the other is one regarding the relationships between the Global Alliance and United Federation. The first statement goes as follows:

"Regarding the recent tensions between NATO and the UF, what we simply have to say here is that NATO members violate National Sovereignty, plain and simple. The leading member nations in NATO then proceed to deny the fact that they constantly violate National Sovereignty whilst also proceeding to not hold democratic elections for leadership positions within NATO. Those are big problems that prove that NATO not only needs reform, but also falls prey to the authoritarian control of the US, UK, France, and now even Germany. Should reform come to NATO, it would be heavily appreciated. However, there is proof enough presented that allows us here at the Government of the Second Marajarbian Federation to simply recognize NATO as part of the UF or not as an alliance, but a pseudo-alliance similar to CUSP in each and every major way, in which enough evidence was provided of many. many former CUSP members having trouble working together, the same can be said for NATO."


The Second Statement also goes as follows:

"Regarding the United Federation and Global Alliance, both alliances are powerful whilst also having their own respective ways of solving problems and alliance management. The recent unofficial "gentlemen's agreement" between the two alliances has proven to be beneficial to both, with both alliances developing differently at rapid paces. However, this presents a big problem. Both factions claim to be successors to the World Assembly, the sole international diplomatic body and world power that many nations throughout the globe are a part of, but what is the problem exactly? The problem is that both alliances claim to be WA successors, have proven themselves to be WA successors, and have started a more diplomatic approach by allowing members of both alliances to have joint membership privileges, but what we here in the Marajarbian Federation wish to know is which alliance or faction is the most legitimate WA successor. Over the coming days, expect an announcement regarding this same statement be made should both alliances attempt to prove themselves worthy of being overall WA successors".

In other news, a series of islands have been discovered to the North of South Olpen by Marajarbian sailors, and since these were found near Olpenese waters, a request has been made from the government to South Olpen's government regarding the possibility of jointly managing the islands as a temporary colony.

SIC: As NATO-UF tensions grow during the coronation, a lot of contingency plans are made in case war breaks out. However, since NATO is mostly to blame for being extremely aggressive and uncooperative with other international bodies and some of its own members as an alliance, and since a majority of nuke-wielding NATO members are preparing for war, the Marajarbian government made the first statement, and a lot of Marajarbian politicians and citizens at home and abroad hope that a jointly-developed peace treaty that benefits all sides is developed and signed before war breaks out, unless it is a cold war.

[South Olpen]

South Olpen agrees to joint control of the chain of islands. They are named the Verir Islands after the stars the sailors must have seen. The government sets up the Joint Council for the Verir Islands and invites 3 Marajarbians onto the council along with 4 Olpenese. South Olpen starts a grant program to move onto the islands, and already there are 60 families interested and a handful of individual (430 people). Plans are made to make it an independent country under an Olpenese free trade, free transport, and military defense pact with the state.

[Janpia]

SIC/IC:
As the tensions once again grew between NATO & UF, the JURIC has decided to perform counter-espionage and intelligence on the Janpian mainland, instead on the UF nations. This was done since things are brewing at the Katyechinci Peninsula down south of Janpia, with the recent advancements of the Munchen Nationalist Rebels.

Fort Kalinka, the seat of the government, and the center of the party, are on high alert. Tourists and other visitors are not permitted to enter its gates. The honor guards inside are having a rotary shift between Government buildings and agencies to avoid infiltrators. The guards know their fellows, and everyone entering, and exiting the walls. They will shoot anyone who they see unfamiliar within their battalion, or in the Fort Kalinka's grounds

The Janpian Revolutionary Expeditionary Force (JREF) troops are tasked to return back to Janpia for more security. Regarding the situation between NATO & UF, the People's Marshall has stated that Janpia remain neutral, until the Munchen Rebels are down.

[GreatOceania]

SIC: to prevent any outsiders from trying to get close to any important figure in Oceania or seek important information all guards will be replaced with the Leader’s Black Elites and to prevent someone entering their ranks each soldier will be identified with a unique code only used by the Black Elites and seeing the hands of the guards since they have been given OTБ devices that surgically implanted in their hands by the OSDRT.

[The Territories of Sealand]

SIC: The shadowy director of the SSD, known only as F, has ordered an intelligence operation against NATO espionage and anti-espionage agencies. They will also begin Project Sea Axe, a top secret infiltration mission. SSD agents will enter the guard service of prominent NATO members.

The agents will be given fake identities and will not communicate with SSD headquarters, known as Facility M, at all, breaking this only when the SSD orders the Sea Axe Protocol.

SIC: The SSS plans for counter espionage are well underway, starting with making the SSS as secure a possible. Access to the outside world is getting less and less frequent, and its members are constantly suspicious of one another. The SSS also firmly believes that if they were to attempt to infiltrate the UF, they would need the close support of other NATO members.

IC: Little Brother is trying to act as a go-between for a final attempt at peace. The NATO and UF alliances must agree on a conclusion for this to work. The terms can change on a member state of either alliances' request. Like joining the coronation of Jackson amidst rising tensions, this is highly criticized, and plays into the hands of the Conservative party, who is capitalizing on discontent to broadcast hardline anti-UF policies, and it appears that they could potentially win the next election if attitudes do not change. Sealand is preparing for the UF to strike-first, and although the government has said that it is unlikely, they have no idea what SM is planning, and that it is better to be prepared. Sealand has now tested a nuke of 350kt. Antrov is trying to use the coronation of Emperor Jackson to try and broker a more successful NAP, while stating that Sealand has no hostile intentions towards countries that have none with Sealand or NATO, including but not limited to SO.

‘‘Central Intelligence Agency Espionage Intelligence Of Adversarial & Anatgonistic States.’’ Mr. President, it has been to our highest concentration and grave solicitude to concentrate our endeavours towards the nation that wishes ill for the United States and its people. For the past years and months, we have concentrated our efforts on China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan,South Olpen, Southeast Marajarbia and Meretica. Our recruitment programmes have brought us the fruit. We have dozens of secret agents in all of these nations elite classes to lower classes who will make our work easier for us. Over the years we have entered the infiltrators in these nations every political party, school, hospital, hospitality agency, travel airlines agency, corporation and many more. We are coordinating our efforts with the intelligence agencies of The Territories of Sealand, Janpia, New Greater Britain and Northern Ireland and many more allies of ours. It's not surprising that South Olpen SSD would also try to do the same. But we have just plans for that in case they attempt to do that which we believe they will. THE Central Intelligence Agency has already infiltrated the United Federation's employees and businessmen who will do our work for us. Russia and China Hypersonic weapons capabilities have also been found to be much more advanced than we had previously expected. Mr. President we would also consider it to be of high importance that the CIA current fiscal budget which is $900 billion dollars should be increased so we can recruit more agents and spies. Afghanistan is in a very bad situation. There have been major fights between the Taliban and ISIS-K and other terrorist groups. We have recruited young and bash Afghans who we will train and arm to overthrow the current Taliban regime and to fight fearlessly against tyrants and terrorists. We would also take care of their families in case something happens to them. THE DOCUMENT SHALL BE BURNED AND DESTRYOED IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AND READ BY MR. PRESIDENT!!
