Eutristan News Network
Ambridge, Eutristan
The Eutristinian Government has been taking non-stop punches to the gut after the government released information that has dominated international news for the past two days. This information, the details of drone flights over nearby by IW2 combatants Eurania and New Aepalistan, is highly controversial, and is largely popular as it begs larger questions. Is communism such a bad thing? Are drones safe and effective? Will this unstablilze the political climate? Catherine Andrews, the Supreme Advisor to the King, and only second-in-command to him, has recently made a statement concerning the scenario. First, we would like to give a timeline of the events that have happened so far:
- March 16th at 10:50 pm: The Eutristinian government issues a statement concerning drone flights over New Aepalistan and Eurania.
- March 17th at 7:55 am: The Euranian Governemnt condemns Eutristan's drone flights and threats the security of the drones.
- March 17th at 8:02 am: The Alesinese President Marco issues a statement in support of Eurania, also condemning the flights.
- March 17th at 12:22 pm: Mitjevalia issues statement condemning drone flights.
- March 17th at 1:36 pm: Jahe Davmwoem speaks out in support of the drone flights.
- March 17th at 6:55 pm: Benjamin Roberts issues a second statement on the issue, calling out the other nations credibility.
- March 18th at 5:04 am: New Aepalistan claims to have shot down a Eutristinian drone.
- March 18th at 5:12 am: Alesinese President Marco issues second statement arguing against the drone program.

Catherine Andrews, much like William James, came from an average middle-class Eutristinian family. She excelled in school and was able to go to Eutristan's most prestigious college, Ambridge University, where she received a Ph.D. in law and a bachelors in Anthropology. She rose in political power after she correctly predicted an economic depression due to inefficient government policies. She is quoted as saying this:
"In no way am I an interventionist. I don't believe the entrance of countries into other sovereign nations is something that should happen unless it is necessary. I do believe that we do in fact have the necessary reasons to peacefully fly drones over both Eurania and New Aepalistan. For some reason, the insinuation has become Eutristan was violent in doing this. How is simply watching something violent? Another unpleasant assumption is that Eutristan simply picked their targets off of political ideals. Eutristan did not issue any statement casting communism in a negative light, or discriminating against them. It is but a coincidence the closest IW2 combatants are communist."
When asked a question on whether she was worried or not about the breaking reports of a shot down drone in New Aepalistan, her response was as follows:
"For some reason, although we have committed none, other nations are responding to this with violence. It is a chilling to think that the immediate response of a government is to simply kill their problems off. I have reviewed this with my intelligence advisors, and we have determined this to be false. Not only did Eutristan withdraw all drones from foreign nations before making the announcement of the flights, upon closer examination, the picture that is assumed proof of this looks nothing like an x47c drone. The jet exhaust in the center of the photo is circular, unlike the drones exhausts which are rectangular. The exhaust also seem to have a rudder and wing attached to it. Not only does the x47c drone not have a rudder, it's wings do not match that of those shown in the picture. Unless the New Aepalistan government can somehow prove of this, I call upon them to withdraw their false statement. Thank you."
