The situation concerning the diplomatic missions in Europaland has become disturbing to the State Secretariat. With this news the Talemantine Empire will be increasing security at the Talemantine Legation in Europa City and the security will be instructed to fire upon any person attempting to breach the integrity of the Talemantine mission. Furthermore, to express our disdain with Europaland the Talemantine representative will be downgraded from an Envoy to a Resident Minister. The Europalander Ambassador to the Court of St. Horace will be summoned to answer for the situation in Europaland.

After careful consideration, the Grand Duchy has decided, despite the immature attitude of Europaland's leaders and the danger presented by this embassy situation, to maintain all diplomatic staff within the current embassy. However, all security personnel have been told to stay on high alert, and orders have been given that anyone attempting to enter the embassy without authorization - or with clear intent to harm or capture those inside - will be met with appropriate measures as if they were attacking Potenzan soil.

We also strongly encourage Europaland's government to take greater care of the security around the various embassies within her nation.

[Danzig]

* Danzig shall pay 20 billion Euromarks to Europaland to compensate for all that which has been ”stolen” by the ”theiving, parasitic capitalist scum” over many decades.

* Danzig shall force its ratings agencies to upgrade the status of Europaland and ”stop discriminating against the socialist states”.

* Danzig shall waive the diplomatic immunity of its ambassador and his staff so they can be tried by a Europalandian court.

* The government of Danzig shall resign and all political power will be transfered to the ”working class and its representatives”.

Foreign Office

``As standard government policy, the Free and Hanseatic City of Danzig does not negotiate with terrorist criminals, no matter who is held hostage. Caving in to these ludicrous demands is a sign of weakness. The demands put forward by the state sponsored terrorists of Europaland are ridiculous for reasons too numerous to mention in a single communique. Demand #1: Will not happen. Au contraire, Europaland should compensate Danzig for damages done and embassy security breach. #2: Unlike the socialist economy of Europaland, Danzig does not own or operate any rating agency. #3: Absurd. #4: Laughable, had it not been such a serious situation. We believe these demands are not meant to be taken seriously, rather, Mr Saint-Bartholomeu's fate has already been sealed by the state sponsored terrorists currently occupying our embassy.''

We commend the decision of the Foreign Office of the city-state of Danzig to refuse to negotiate with criminal breaking of international standards. The rights of diplomats is a tenet of international stability. Europalander crime perpetrated by the thugs of Europa City undermines not only the safety of Danziger citizens now held in criminal violation of international law by Europalandish militants but the policy of diplomatic mores itself. A majority of the Consulate General staff in Europa City has been evacuated, as has occurred with most diplomatic attaches throughout Europa City. A policy of contained rejection of criminal behavior reinforces geopolitical stability. The Imperial peoples of Cakchiquel stand in solidarity with the safety of the citizens of the Free and Hanseatic City of Danzig.

ARMY STORMS EMBASSY, 3 TERRORISTS & 1 SOLDIER DEAD, DANZIG AMBASSADOR FOUND SHOT BUT STILL ALIVE

The government has seemingly followed yesterday's advice from the Liberal Forum and used the army to storm the Danzig embassy in Europa City after negotiations with the hostage-takers appeared to be going nowhere. The terrorists were appearently caught by surprise when special forces arrived from helicopters at roughly 5am, breaking in through the roof and through several windows and throwing smoke grenades into the building. Soldiers also moved in swiftly from the ground, driving an armoured vehicle at speed through the front gate and blowing a hole in the perimeter wall to the rear of the embassy before smashing their way into the building.

Upon entering the building the soldiers immediately found themselves fired upon and were forced to respond with deadly force, killing 3 terrorists and seriously wounding 11 others. One soldier who was shot in the head died while 6 others sustained gunshot wounds. The Danzig ambassador was shot by one of the terrorists just as the team burst into the room where he was being held. The bullet, which struck the ambassador in the chest, passed through him, just missing his heart. He has now been rushed to Europa City's top hospital where doctors say he will probably survive. Other embassy staff have been found badly beaten and in a state of shock and are also being cared for at the hospital.

This massive show of force from the authorities has come as a surprise to many although the government has been under a lot of pressure both internally and externally to do something decisive in the fight against terrorism and to improve the country's damaged international standing. To have ended the hostage crisis less than 24 hours after it began will no doubt help the government's popularity at home and abroad. Leader of the opposition Centre Party Jacques Laurent has praised President Nordahl following the relative success of the operation, noting that it has ”sent out a clear message that terrorism will not be tolerated” and was ”a brave step which could easily have ended badly for the government”. The pro-capitalist Liberal Forum has also delivered rare praise to Ms Nordahl for her ”decisive action against the forces of terror and extremism”.

President Nordahl made an official televised announcement early this morning:

Comrades,

I am pleased to announce that an army special forces team has successfully liberated the Danzig embassy in Europa City. In the process shots were exchanged and sadly one of our brave soldiers has been killed. I have just contacted his family to send my condolences and would like to pay tribute to his great service to our country. Tragically Danzig's ambasador has also been shot by one of the terrorist assailants and is being treated in hospital. I hope he makes a full recovery and I wish him and his family well.

This incident has done great harm to our international reputation. Many nations have, perhaps understandably, feared for the safety of their diplomats in Europaland. We must show that these fears are unfounded through ensuring something like this can never happen again and by renewing our efforts in the fight against terrorism. Let it be clear that there is not and never will be any excuse for terrorism of any ideological persuasion. Europaland shall not give into terrorists and I hope the violent extremists who seek to disrupt our nation will think again in future before engaging in such heinous acts.

As our nation moves on from this incident let us hope we can put it behind us. I know the searching of mail being sent to Danzig's embassy has come in for a lot of criticism. In talks with my colleagues it has been decided that this policy shall be cancelled. While Danzig's officials acted illegally it was a mistake to ourselves engage in actions similarly condemned under international diplomatic protocol. We reserve the right to expel any ambassador flouting our national laws but it is always best to first engage in a dialogue with the nation concerned. Let us learn from the events of the last few days and continue in our work for a better Europaland and a better world.

OTHER NEWS

Police carry out series of night-time raids across Europaland, rounding up 146 suspected members of extremist vanguardist groups. Most have so far not been charged but will be held for questioning. In normal circumstances people can be detained for 24 hours without charge but this time can be doubled in cases of terrorism.

THE Covenant, inspired by the steadfast actions of Elin Nordahl, will consider implementing a series of night-time raids across Cantignia to prevent copycat terrorists from inflicting the instability and international shame brought upon Europaland by rogue elements of the Left. This extended leeway for detention, as well, is a necessary evil in the pursuit of justice against terror. We thus hope to work closer together with Europaland, and most specifically Elin Nordahl, to the ends of achieving diplomatic peace and a hand above terrorism.

Forward Cantigny!

NEWS UPDATE: GOVERNMENT'S HEAVY-HANDED TACTICS DRAW CRITICISM

While a telephone poll carried out by ERT over the last few hours found that over 80% of people in Europaland believe President Nordahl and her government handled the hostage crisis ”well” or ”very well”, the tactics used have drawn criticism from some within the three ruling parties, especially within the Revolutionary Left Alliance. Development Minister James Young who belongs to the party has resigned his post in protest at what he calls ”needless pandering to our capitalist enemies”, arguing that the authorities didn't do enough to negotiate with the hostage-takers before endangering lives ”simply to appear tough in the eyes of the right-wing, capitalist states of Europe”. His comments have been condemned by President Nordahl who says she will appoint a replacement as soon as possible.

Perhaps even more damagingly a prominent human rights lawyer Jens Pedersen has urged the authorities not to ”rush into a knee-jerk approach” in terms of carrying out mass arrests of supposed terror suspects. According to Mr Pedersen arrests should only be made when the police have reasonable suspicion of an individual's involvement in criminality and there is no justification under the constitution for rounding people up simply because of their alleged membership of extremist groups. Responding to these comments Justice Minister Édouard Giraud has claimed that all those arrested have ”strong suspected links to groups actively involved in promoting terror” and that their questioning will ”actively assist the police in their bid to identify all those connected to the terrorist deeds of yesterday and today”.

So far there has been little response internationally but it is hoped that some of those countries which scaled back their diplomatic presence will decide to return to Europaland now that the situation appears to be stabilising. Cantigny, a country which already closed its embassy long before the hostage incident, has praised President Nordahl for her efforts against terrorism and it will be hoped by the government that its tough line will help put a stop to the accusations of Europaland somehow being a supporter of terrorism around the world.

Foreign Minister Saida Nasri looks likely to remain in her post after President Nordahl reiterated her view that the Foreign Minister has ”done no wrong”. According to some uncomfirmed reports though the President has privately asked Ms Nasri to tone down her rhetoric.

Aussenministerium
Trier, Eiffelland

We commend the Europalandian Government with the liberation of the Danziger embassy. We wish a speedy recovery for the Danziger ambassador.

However, in spite of the positive outcome of this crisis, we are still concerned about the security of our diplomatic personnel in Europaland. Therefore, security measures at the Eiffellandian embassy and the Eiffellandian consulates will remain intensified and families of embassy employees will stay at the embassy until the current situation in Europaland eases. We regret that this is needed. For the remainder, the embassy will function as normal.

We demand that the diplomatic immunity of all employees of the Danziger embassy is respected, and that they can leave Europaland without hindrance by the authorities or protesters.
Also we keep the embassy open for employees of the Danziger embassy and keep open the possibility to hand them temporary diplomatic passports if needed.

Opening diplomatic mail is a serious violation of diplomatic immunity. We fear the worst if this action depicts Europaland’s interpretation of diplomacy. The smuggling issue should have been resolved in a different way, for instance by contacting the Danziger Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Regarding the “Freedom fund”, we will follow it closely. Should it facilitate terrorism, we will hold the State of Europaland responsible for that.

NATION SET FOR LARGEST TERRORISM TRIAL IN ITS HISTORY

Europaland looks set for the largest terrorism trial in its history after 34 people have been charged with terrorist offences directly related to the hostage crisis. The suspects, if found guilty, could face the maximum sentence possible of 15 years behind bars. 29 of those arrested were present in the embassy building at the time at which it was raided by a special forces team while the other five are suspected members of the vanguardist group which claimed responsibility for the attack and were believed to have taken part in the planning for it. In other news a further terrorist suspect who was shot by the army has died in hospital, taking the number of terrorist fatalities to four.

The medical condition of the Danzig ambassador meanwhile has now stabilised according to the specialist team of doctors who are treating him and he is expected to make a full recovery. That does not mean the ambassador's worries are over though and upon his return to Danzig he may apparently face trial. Five other embassy staff have now been discharged from hospital while none of the others being treated have sustained any life-threatening injuries. The government has, in a further effort to repair its international standing, offered to pay for any damage done to the embassy building and will more than double the number of police assigned to protecting foreign embassies in future.

ANALYSIS: PRESIDENT ATTEMPTING TO GAIN UPPER HAND WITHIN FRACTURED GOVERNMENT
By Solveig Hansen, Professor of Politics at the University of Bergen

The decisive action taken by President Nordahl over the hostage crisis has simultaneously shocked and impressed many people in Europaland. The use of the army as opposed to the police in such an event is unprecedented in recent history and will have come as a surprise even if, as the government has claimed, it was the special forces team used which had the biggest expertise in dealing with hostage situations. All evidence suggests that the operation was ordered directly by the President with or without the consent of her ministers.

I would suggest that the President's decision should be seen in the light of a number of damaging developments at home and abroad. While President Nordahl was elected as a radical in her party's leadership contest she has, since being elected, had to deal with numerous competing factions in the government, some far more radical than herself. The latter can be found primarily in the Revolutionary Left Alliance and it should come as no surprise that one of the party's ministers chose to step down yesterday following the army operation. This came not because he himself had any sympathy for the terrorists but rather because he and others in his party support a hard-line foreign policy approach and saw it as an act of appeasement to put any resources into saving the ambassador of Danzig, a state which more than any other embodies the global capitalist system he seeks to destroy.

Ever since taking office the current government has suffered a number of embarassments in the foreign policy sphere. The statements of Foreign Minister Saida Nasri (who interestingly belongs to the same party as the President) have been widely misinterpreted and have drawn criticism from Carentania, one of Europaland's key allies. The announced 'Freedom Fund' has also drawn criticism from nations which accuse Europaland of promoting terrorism even if there has not yet been any evidence for this. Most damagingly of all though was the rushed decision by Interior Minister Marie Bertrand to unlawfully search all mail delivered to the Danzig embassy and the ensuing hostage crisis which may cause irreperable damage to the nation's reputation. It is hard to blame the government itself for the embassy occupation (especially since the policing was the responsibility of the local region and municipality) but that is exactly what many of the countries across Europe have done.

President Nordahl clearly felt, in such a situation, that allowing the hostage crisis to drag on would be devastating to Europaland's credibility abroad and as such made what many will see as a bold and risky move. While perhaps not being her prime motivation for doing what she did, her actions may have the added benefit of strengthening her own position within the government, imposing a certain unity on a fractured coalition. While the previous government was a relatively stable coaliton of moderates from the Socialist Left and Centre parties the current one has proven itself much less predictable. If President Nordahl wants to avoid the sort of chaos and gaffes which have befallen the government in the last few weeks it must be hoped that she succeeds.

OFFICIAL ENQUIRY INTO TERRORISM IN EUROPALAND

The government has established an independent commission which will carry out an official enquiry into the issue of terrorism in Europaland. The commission will look at a number of recent attacks, such as the embassy hostage crisis and the bombing of a sex shop by a group of extreme feminists, and attempt to answer the questions of why terrorism is a problem in Europaland and what can be done to tackle it. Terrorism and political extremism, a group of academics have recently claimed, poses a greater problem for the authorities in Europaland than in most other advanced European democracies and it will be hoped that the enquiry can help provide some answers as to why this is the case. The commission will be made up of 20 people considered to have expertise in the area such as academics, psychologists and top officials from the army and police.

Despite the history of terrorism in Europaland the embassy attack came as a shock to many as did the international reaction to it. Also highly shocking is the confirmation today from the police that almost a quarter of those arrested inside the embassy building were under 18 years old. President Nordahl, commenting on this, noted that ”as a nation we have a lot of thinking to do about why some of our young people have found themselves attracted to violent, extremist organisations”. Europaland, according to Ms Nordahl, is ”a nation where everyone can have a good life and feel safe and secure in their future”, yet despite this there are those who ”want to overthrow our democracy and impose their will on everyone else through violence and intimidation”. Anger at injustices around the world neither explain nor excuse terrorism in the view of the President: ”we are all angry at what we see around us, at the extreme injustices, at the denial of the most basic rights and freedoms to much of the world's population, but we do not resort to terrorising innocent people or undermining the very democratic institutions which exist to provide an influence and a voice to everyone in our nation regardless of who they are or where they come from”.

OTHER NEWS

Almost all of the vanguardists rounded up in police raids following the hostage crisis have now been released, a further 9 however have been charged with terrorist offences or the possession of illegal weapons.

Government's popularity increases to 59% after having fallen to 48% just before the hostage crisis broke. Another poll relating to the RDTO referendum found that 51% plan to vote 'yes' to Europaland's proposed membership in the organisation.

Foreign Minister Saida Nasri expresses outrage over violent attack on Europaland's embassy in Cakchiquel. Ms Nasri has also strongly condemned reports of genocide in Cidonia and urged action from the international community.

ERT ANNOUNCES NEW PORN/SEX EDUCATION CHANNEL

ERT is set to become the first public broadcaster in Europe to establish its own pornographic TV channel. The move was announced today by the governing board of ERT, with the channel (to be called 'ERT Sex') being broadcast free by satellite across Europe and over the digital terrestrial network within Europaland as well as streamed online. The channel will begin at 6pm every night with 3-4 different Europalandian pornographic films shown between 10pm and 4am. Between 6 and 10pm there will be various sex education shows and documentaries along with critical feminist discussion programmes related to the subject. As with some of ERT's other channels different versions will exist on satellite for those living in different timezones. Subtitles will be available in English, French, Gaelic, German, Norwegian, Spanish, Uroduah and Yiddish.

While it will not be the first time ERT has broadcast hardcore pornographic films the decision to set up the new channel has faced criticism from some, including several prominent members of the Revolutionary Left Alliance concerned that it may contribute to the mainstreaming of the objectification of women. Equality Minister Ingebjørg Haugen (from the same party) has however expressed her cautious support for ERT's decision provided a strong feminist perspective is present in the channel's programming: “While the concept of porn is potentially problematic we cannot simply wish it away, rather we need to fight its exploitative and demeaning forms and promote, in whatever ways we can, a new feminist sexuality based on love, equality and mutual respect”. According to Ms Haugen feminist erotica must “challenge and deconstruct all power differences between women and men, work to undermine and destroy fascistic beauty standards and depict a sexuality where the mutual and active consent and enjoyment of all participants is paramount”.

Culture Minister Cecilie Skoglund (whose department regulates both ERT and country's growing porn industry) has expressed similar sentiments, seeing the channel as a new opportunity for the Europalandian state to export its feminist agenda to the rest of Europe also within the sexual sphere. Over the last 12 months the number of full-length porn films produced in Europaland has exceeded 200 for the first time with many of these receiving at least some degree of state funding. Porn films are heavily regulated and any sexual act considered to take place in a disrespectful or demeaning context must be removed before they can be sold or distributed. If more than a certain percentage has to be cut the film can be banned completely. Over 90% of the foreign porn films submitted to the Film Classification Board of Europaland have been banned for this reason although most Europalandian-produced films are accepted without any cuts having to be made.

OTHER NEWS

All remaining Danzig embassy staff except the ambassador discharged from hospital. The ambassador could potentially be out as early as next week.

Vangalan communist youth leader claims Foreign Minister Saida Nasri was criticised particularly harshly (and subjected to unjust accusations of anti-semitism) because of her Uroduah ethnic background. The government has made no comment on this but similar claims have been made by sections of the Europalandian media as well.

 

[Havenshire]

On behalf of Entertainment Co-op and TeleCoop, we wish to offer a contract for ERT Sex to be broadcast within Havenshire. We will happily establish a new channel to the programme. We are also happy to provide our own pornographic productions for broadcast, though we regret they may not meet Europaland's preferred Feminist agenda in all rigours. Nonetheless, Even if permission to broadcast ERT Sex is denied, we are happy to license many of its films on our own Mainstream Porn Channels.

Head of TeleCoop Broadcasting

 

[Europaland]

TeleCoop is free to rebroadcast our channel over its own network. As it is available unencrypted on satellite we do not mind if other broadcasters relay our feed live in their own countries. Individual films from the channel can be rebroadcast in consultation with the cooperative which holds the rights for them. While ERT Sex will primarily show films produced inside Europaland we are open to showing high-quality or creative films from other countries which are in keeping with our values and have been approved beforehand by the FCBE.

FINANCE MINISTER PLEDGES DEBT-TO-GDP RATIO WILL REMAIN STABLE

Finance Minister Ida Jakobsen has today pledged, ahead of the annual budget, that all possible steps will be taken to prevent any rise in the country's debt-to-GDP ratio. The nation's debts currently stand at 38.7% of GDP which is relatively low compared to many of Europaland's neighbours, partly because of the policy of successive governments to avoid taking out loans from capitalist banks whenever possible. A decade ago Europaland's debts were much higher but during the previous Socialist Left/Centre Party government of the last 8 years many of the government's increasing revenues were used to pay off the national debt. According to Ms Jakobsen her government will champion, despite the economic crisis facing much of Europe, “sound fiscal policies which will guarantee Europaland stability and prosperity well into the next decade”.

Although the government's programme involves significantly increased spending in some areas Ms Jakobsen made clear in her speech that this would be “paid for through increasing revenues and growing our economy”, rather than being added to the national debt. New economic opportunities, according to the Finance Minister, exist in the tourist sector which has expanded significantly but still has a large potential for growth. The country also still has rich and relatively unexploited natural resources and will do more to increase revenues made in the renewable energy sector according to Ms Jakobsen. There are no planned increases in personal or business taxation and efficieny will, when possible, be increased both in the private and public sectors. Her government is, in addition, committed to expanding Europaland's trade relations not just with the socialist states of Europe but with all democratic countries around the world.

While the appointment of Ida Jakobsen, leader of the Revolutionary Left Alliance, as Finance Minister had initially caused alarm among many centrists and liberals in Europaland her time in the post has so far been largely free of controvery. Her speech today, it will be hoped, will help reassure her critics within the country and improve the country's economic standing in the eyes of the international community. Capitalist ratings agencies have often been reluctant to even evaluate Europaland's economy due to the very different way it is structured but the last rating the country received from a Danziger agency came up negative, a decision which Europaland claims was biased and not based on fact.

OTHER NEWS

Europaland pledges to work with Danmark to allow Montelimari refugees fleeing the imperialist forces of Engellex to settle in Europaland if they so wish. A number of flights will be arranged for as early as next week from Danmark to the French-speaking city of Saint-Denis. President Nordahl has urged an immediate stop to the territorial expansionism of Engellex and demanded that its attacks on civilians cease.

President Elin Nordahl, Prime Minister Ceitidh NicIllEathain, Foreign Minister Saida Nasri and Defence Minister Arne Isaksen announce tour of Europaland as the RDTO referendum draws closer. They will answer any questions or concerns people have and explain in more detail what Europaland's membership of the organisation will mean. Polls are still showing almost an even split between supporters and opponents of the RDTO.

ERT Sex will be allowed to broadcast in Eiffelland, under the condition that the pornographic material is broadcasted between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Eiffellandian Time. Furthermore, I want to make clear that pornographic material showing unsafe sex is prohibited in Eiffelland, unless the pornographic material was made before the 1st January 1984. A list of practices considered unsafe sex will be sent to ERT Sex if they wish to broadcast in Eiffelland.

Random Eiffellandian gay: "Are they going to broadcast gay porn as well?"

 

[Europaland]

While ERT Sex is already available for free to any Eifellander with the appropriate satellite dish and receiver we will be happy to work with any broadcaster in Eifelland interested in helping us get out to a wider audience. While I am not yet certain as to the definition of 'unsafe sex' I can confirm that condoms are common but not compulsory since STD testing is required before every single sex scene except for amateur scenes between existing couples. Apart from this no acts will be shown on our channel that could pose any risk to the health or well-being of the participants and neither would such acts be permitted by the FCBE. The porn industry in Europaland is very different to that existing in most other countries with all the actors running their own cooperatives and doing what they themselves want, enjoy and feel comfortable with.

With regards to the timezone issue we already have a stream on satellite for the timezone followed by Eifelland and several other central European countries. This can easily be relayed within Eifelland. Since some are curious about the content of the channel I would like to confirm that we will show films and scenes targetted at many different sexual orientations whether these be straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual.

PRESIDENT LAUNCHES ATTACK ON 'ROGUE, TERRORIST STATE' OF ENGELLEX

You must be registered for see links

President Nordahl, in a speech today in Bergen, Nordland, hit out at Engellex which she termed a “rogue state” and a “tyrannical, enemy regime posing a threat to the peace and stability of the whole of Europe”. Her speech, which took place at a large pro-democracy rally in solidarity with all those denied the vote in Engellex and in protest at the country's genocidal crimes in Montelimar, comes not long after the Engellexic government decided to impose a ban on all trade with Europaland and pledged to freeze any assets they could find belonging to Europalandian politicians and government leaders. The move, and Engellex's justifications for it, are, according to the President, “truly laughable and absurd” and a sign that Engellex “feels increasingly threatened by the forces of democracy, justice and human dignity as they continue in their inevitable march forwards”. According to the President freedom is well in reach for the people of Engellex should they “set aside their differences and unite in a common, militant struggle for democracy”.

The President then went on to express outrage at Engellex's imperialist assault on the people of Montelimar, calling it a “despicable act of state terrorism against a civilian population” and an “outrageous affront to the values upon which every civilised society is based”. According to Ms Nordahl Europaland will do everything in its power to “help and support the victims of these terrible crimes” and is proud to welcome a large number of refugees to its shores, seeing it as a “vital humanitarian duty” to do so. The ultimate goal for the democracies of Europe however must be to “address the cause of this crisis and that is rogue, terrorist states being free to wage wars and bring chaos to our region completely unhindered by the international community”. To this end it is “absolutely crucial that new multi-national bodies are set up in which all states sharing the common values of democracy, human rights and respect for international law can work together for a stable and secure Europe”. The existing military alliances such as the RDTO, while playing a crucial role, “lack sufficient clout to hold states like Engellex to account in a world where the democratic nations are weak and divided and the autocratic ones able to form a powerful alliance to protect the status-quo”.

OTHER NEWS

First Montelimari refugees begin to arrive from Danmark with stories of murder and genocide committed by Engellexic troops. A special programme bringing together some of their accounts will be broadcast tomorrow on ERT1.

Danzig ratings agency reaffirms Europaland's negative rating without giving any explanation apart from vague concerns about security in the country. According to Finance Minister Ida Jakobsen the agency, Springer Investor Services, has “lost all credibility” and will be ignored in future.

Europaland criticises seizure of power by the Adrari Socialist Party in Jurzan, calls for the immediate restoration of multi-party democracy.

THE Covenant continues to recognize President Elin Nordahl as the most compelling female propagandist of her time, and is constantly impressed with the weave to her web of words - which never fail to capture the minds of an increasingly tormented and rebellious youth.

Responding directly to Miss Nordahl's rhetoric however, The Covenant is again heartbroken by the wayward President's assault on Engellexic institutions as they exist today. It is an indubitable truth that Great Engellex has fought for, with the exception of few blemishes, the emancipation of diminished cultures and distraught peoples in Montelimar and Preuti-Borussia.

In that light, with the powers of deductive reasoning, we realize that Elin Nordahl is not in fact attacking the Engellexic Establishment, but indirectly lashing out at the Empire of Anglyn which shares a common continent with Europaland. We encourage the widely admired President of Europaland to have the resolve to take on adversaries closer to home, that can and would actually seek to engage Miss Nordahl in ideological and potentially violent war.

DULWICH, TUESDAY, 31st JANUARY 2012

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Princes, and Chiefs of the State of Europaland.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE PRINCES, AND CHIEFS OF THE STATE OF EUROPALAND​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

We are not amused.

And will invite the European Community to question the credentials of Europaland, the most democratic state of Europe, that participated in the mass deportation of Montelimarien refugees from Preuti-Borussia without legitimizing such a drastic action by consultation with the said refugees.

Her Majesty the Queen-Empress, and the Parliament of Great Engellex, are quite concerned with the deportation of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Montelimariens in what may very well amount to genocide as Europaland has deliberately inflicted conditions of life upon this group of people that belong to Preuti-Borussia.

By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

​

 

[Europaland]

Yet again I have no idea what the Engellexic government is talking about with their bizarre claims and accusations. Accusing us of genocide is the most absurd thing I have ever heard as is claiming that Europaland has been forcing people to come to our nation as refugees against their will. All we have done is organise transport for those Montelimari refugees who, for whatever reason, have decided they would like to settle in Europaland as opposed to in Danmark where they been forced to flee to in order to escape the brutal Engellexic assault. With one of the highest living standards in Europe and one of the most advanced democracies, as well as being connected to Montelimar through our large French-speaking population, it is hardly surprising that many have chosen to make Europaland their home. If Engellex is worried about the large exodus to Europaland we suggest they put a halt to their murderous, genocidal and imperialistic war against the civilian population of Montelimar.

Saida Nasri,
Foreign Minister of Europaland
