Nukistani State Department
The UAR, as of XXX Hours GMT, declares the following:
* We recognize the UKB as a non belligerent.
* We recognize the IRT as a non-belligerient
* We recognize Vulpesia as a non-belligerent.
* We recognize the Bear Republic as a non-belligerent.
These four non-belligerents will not be attacked nor overflown by UAR forces.
However, we are most displeased with the actions of the FUN; which have shown the UAR that they cannot be trusted in neither war or peace.

Alexandria
By order of General Alexander, citizens in major cities except New Delphi started to evacuate to the countryside. The Iron General was betting that Shepnukistan wouldn't destroy a city where his own troops were preparing to leave from.
Many civillians didn't need orders to leave the cities and had returned to the communes and mining towns of their birth. Many had come to the cities to taste the new prosperity.

Violence in Coilerburg port
Coilerburg's main port of Navalopolis was the sight of a gunfight between Coilerburgian security forces and the crews of two Shepnukistani bulk freighters.
The freighters were carrying copper ore from Coilerburg mines. They were fully loaded and were about to leave when the Shepnukistani attack on the MESS taskforce occured. Since Coilerburg had initially not moved towards either side, the freighters decided that staying in a neutral port would safer than risking it on the high seas.
Of course, that changed when PFL made his speech and moved Coilerburg against Shepnukistan. As Coilerburg moved to seize the ships, they chose to attempt an escape and dashed out of the harbor.
The crews were armed with semiautomatic rifles, supposedly as a precaution against pirates. As the ships sped away, their crews opened fire on Coilerburgian police officers on the shore, killing three and wounding ten more.
Coilerburg patrol craft and helicopters have mobilized to intercept the freighters, which were identified as the BC-45 and BC-49, though the nation's military staff has express doubts as to whether their lightly armed cutters stand any chance of causing serious damage to the massive ships.
The escape is believed to have been led by Captain Rick Remington, skipper of the BC-45. Captain Remington has been described as "Stubborn, yet daring" and "An unashamed gun nut".
It is still unknown whether the escape was done on Remington's personal initiative or under orders from the Shepnukistani government.

Nukistani E-4B NEACP, over Shepnukistan
Shep opened his mouth to speak.
"Don't make me laugh with your posturing, Matt."
"You're the only other nuclear power on this world that's a threat -- Saddamistan is with me, and the IRT is carefully considering where to hide until this is over, because while they have a hellacious defense system, they have no offensive systems yet."
"You've produced probably a hundred or two light devices for various light delivery systems -- that's the big problem isn't it Matt? Making the damn things that tiny and yet still reliable enough to go boom when dropped. We're running into the same problem over here; it's just so damn hard to make the damned things...."
"Oh sure, you probably have a whole bunch more of medium-weight devices; for carriage by aircraft on the centerline hardpoint; those are a lot easier to make; but those aircraft just don't have the range or payload to mount a sustained assault against an air defense before having to return to rearm."
"Yes, I know you have some heavy bombers in the MESS, about a hundred seventy or so, give or take a few here and there, and what is it, twenty heavy tankers?"
"Strategic Air Command has a hundred and seventy five B-1Cs alone, and a hundred and five RB-1Ds. That's almost three hundred heavy bombers. In addition, while you guys were going on your futile massive conventional naval and ground arms buildup, I paid close attention to the service side of SAC, which has two hundred KC-10s on it's rolls."
"Think about that for a moment, Matt. You have just twenty, twenty five heavy aerial refuelling craft, while I have two hundred."
"Means my bombers can take the long route to fly around neutrals or your defenses, and still arrive with enough fuel to accomplish their missions. You? You're sending your aircrew out on suicide missions, since you have no tanker support. What's the plan going to be, Matt? One way trips, and ejecting out over Nukistan, with nothing but a revolver and $500 bucks in gold in your flight suits?"
"Course, this doesn't even begin to bring in the strategic threat you're facing from Saddam. Hell, even I don't know what Saddam has up his sleeves; the man is cagey like a fox."
"What's that, Matt? Everyone around the world has super huge bomb shelters that can hold a lot of people?"
*laughter*
"What do you think my RB-1D crews are going to do when they see the rock cut outlines and other identifiying features of a bunker? Will they assume it's a civilian bunker? Hell no, they'll assume it's a leadership bunker and put a SRAM up it's entrance -- they're that accurate. Bye civilians."
"Also, you stupidly assume that the only effects of nuclear weapons are their immediate effects like blast, fire and radiation. What's going to happen to those hundreds of thousands of civilians in bomb shelters as they emerge to find that the entire goddamn town is rubble, and every hospital bed for miles and miles around is toast. Let's not even get into the nice surprises that Saddam no doubt has for everyone, and I wouldn't be surprised if disease epidemics strike down half of your surviving population."
"Call back to me when you've thought through strategic thermonuclear warfare some more."
Shep opened his mouth to speak.

"We are leaving people!" General Price shouted at his people, the Mushroom Marines had arrived forty minutes after his raid along with a notice from the 777th PM that he approved of the clamp-down. They were done here and the MM's were taking over for them. Time to get back the UKB.
-----------------------------------------
BBC Reports, Special Report, December 31st 1400UT
It was a pre-recoded message, the background was a large UKB Flag. The Prime Minster Charles Spencer was standing in front of it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the UKB. To all peaceful citizens of Nova Terra, I have a heavy heart but to inform you that two and a half hours ago, Nuclear weapons were used in anger between a MESS Convoy and a UAR Bomber flight. The reason for the use of these weapons is believed to be to sink a fleet of ships carrying weapons to St George's Island from Terra Libertia. Why Shepnukstain felt that this required the use of Nuclear weapons is unknown but we do know the fleet was carrying surpluses Shepukstain tanks.
Whatever the reason the fact remains, One nuclear armored power as engaged a second Nuclear Power with Nuclear weapons. What this means to the world should be obvious, a line has been crossed. And we are on the road to war.
The alliances are even now drawing up, it seems that the MESS and Fugal Union of Nations intend to make the UAR disarm or face war. Meanwhile the UAR has issued no demands of it's own, it seems they have already embraced war and are marching towards it as we speak.
But there remains some time yet. War might yet be avoid. But should it come to it, the UKB will do it's duty and defend it's people no matter the cost.
To all citizens of the UKB, please ensure you know where your local shelter is, if possible begin moving vital heath related supllies you may need there now in case a alert is called. By my orders vital business such as pharmacists and other heath stores are to issue two months of any medication to any patient with an existing doctors prescription. Don't worry about cost, we will cover that for you. We may be in for the long haul people if a full-blown Nuclear war breaks out, think what you need if you must stay in a shelter for three or four weeks. Now is the time to ensure you know where your local shelter is and ensure you have a place there. By order of his Grace today is considered a national holiday as is tomorrow. All non-vital business are to close, people should be home with their families now.
We must prepare for the coming storm
Thank you and good night
God Save the King.

Spine Mountain Range, UKB
There were two folders on the table, one nearly nine hundred pages listing military bases, defense complexes, major airports. Every single piece of war-producing building or complex. Complete with targeting information for Nuclear weapons or conventional bombing strikes. Back when OMSK was in full swing he had order this folder created with the help of Shepnukstain and Red Technocracy's intelligence agency's help. Since then with the addition of the Vulpesian LANDSAT's the folder had been updated with reflection zones, channels possible firestorm risk charts. Since the launch of the WORLDVIEW's five months ago the folder had been thicked even further noting times of maximum out-put of individual factories.
He grabbed a page out at random, it was a two page summary, the first a large satellite photo and a diagram of the Lonestar Republic Port of Corpus Christi. The loading docks were highlighted, the drydocks, the shipyards, the storage buildings. There were a par of overheads to lay over the diagram detailing the strike location, a firestorm chart detailing wind-patterns in the area and a list of the nearby Lonestar Air National guard bases. The second page list production facilities, where the workers for the Port were housed and a summary of possible attack options.
Every single major facility in the Mess had an entry in this folder. Even the "hidden" facilities, digging something underground just made it more obvious to people with enough photo-recon birds, that dirt has to go somewhere. And once you know where you can backtrack it to it's source. Follow the dump-trucks had reviled what was suspected to be six different underground storage bases Using the old WWII reasoning, if your enemy tries to hide it, it must be important, so best to blow it up. Some of the entries in this larger folder with almost a month out of date. Some of them were less than six hours old.
He looked to the other folder, a much smaller one, weighing in at almost three hundred pages. Most of that was because of Saddamstain, to many what-if's, maybes and we think there's something here. Shepnukstain came in at exactly 85 pages of nuclear weapons depots. Army Depots, Know SAC primary and secondary airstrips. Part production facilities and the three large raw material storage areas for holding radioactive materials not yet made into nukes or reprocessed down. There was not that many targets in Shepnukstain. In order to free up more money for development they had been forced to build larger facilities, and they were only one country. Mangka has exactly seven pages in the MESS folder for example. Because there was little of value to destroy in that country. Meanwhile Saddamstain had over two hundred pages, not enough information to many complexs detailed for destruction because they had no idea what they contained.
The UAR folder was up to date, most of it within the last week. Some of it less than four hours old. Less to update ensured that for one thing, but the other reason was he had already had a full team working on Saddamstian before OMSK fell apart, transferring them to a UAR team and adding the few people working on Shepnukstain had been easy. They were an experienced team and worked well and quickly togther, compared to the MESS team which had three times as many people, half of them new because of the fall of OMSK.
There reason he was sitting here with these folders came to him again. Which one to send to who? The UAR had granted the UKB non-belligerence status, and the Mess was not like to bother him because they did not need a "second front".
The smart thing to do was to sit back and watch, and perhaps crack open a can to the final war. Wind-patterns meant that unless Red Technocracy or Bear Republic was nuked he faced no fall-out. And even then the fall-out would be limited to Atlantis and his northern most unpopulated regions. Zoria on the flip side if nuked would ensure he lost one city to fall-out. Might as well evacuate it now.
Thing was Sheppard already had one folder. Badly out of date, but they had shared the information with them right up till the week of OMSK's breakup. Ports don't move, airstrips don't move. Right now the UAR held a huge intelligence advantage, they knew where to hit. Was the same true of the MESS?
Probably, but he would be very surprised to learn they had anything similar to what the UAR had on them.
Which brought him back to the two folders
And the choice he had
------------------------------
Some time later he was still looking at the folders when one of the communication techs walked up handing him a copy of a letter faxed from the Shinra Republic....

"Gentlemen," Baylor began. Assembled before him were agents Tourff Risto and Jak Easly. "The Fungal Intelligence Agency is the largest espionage apparatus in the New World, bar none. Only the UKB's MI6 can come close. The FUN, and before that the FUNGAL AXIS, has assumed an easy demeanor in the years prior - and that has allowed us some great degree of latitude with a great many countries, even Shepnukistan before this shit happened. We were easy then, so we were able to slide ourselves into them just as easily.
"That means we have eyes and ears everywhere."
"Yes, sir?" Easly asked.
"The Nukistani collaborators..."
"They're under surveillance. The Blackadder's communication's blackout was a good thing, great timing. Limited what they could give out."
"We're ready and waiting, sir."
"Then keep on shadowing them. If and when the time comes, I want you to detain and - "

"Good morning, Shep."
"Shep...Shep...Shep... why did you have to do this, man?"

The Red Phone. The emergency line everyone had set up to each other, just in case of war. Guaranteed to work - or so everyone said. Used every available communications link ... in this case, to Shroom.
"Prime Minister, this is President Nguyen. You can still save your country, your nations. You don't have the ability to strike at the UAR - not meaningfully. Stas has the only special weapons in the FUN, and he might not be able to get them out of that bunker in time! Announce your neutral status! You've no business in this war! "

Stas has the only special weapons in the FUN, and he might not be able to get them out of that bunker in time! Announce your neutral status! You've no business in this war! "

Temporary Headquarters, Phase One of 'Good Mountain' Project
There was not much in the headquarters besides basic electricity and some tables and chairs, though the volume of the room, as well as the tunnels connecting it still made the President quite impressed.
"So, currently how much is the capacity of 'Phase One'?" The President asked.
"About 3000 personnel, sir. Or 40 fighters." The Minister of Defense replied.
Which wasn't very optimistic. During the past six months the civillians were quite prepared. The shelters were inspected and currently their capacity was enough. The "Good Mountain Project", however, was a long term thing.
The troops still had their originally designated shelters, but with 10,000 more personnel in the military after the mandatory service initiated in July this meant extreme tight space.

Vice President Yuki Amami was tired, but she forced herself not to rest. The past few days a lot of activity from the Bright Star Pastor was coming in. It seemed that they were plotting for something big in light of the immediate threat of war.
Should the President know? Should he worry?
==========================
A couple of months ago, Acadia, T.M.C.K. St. George
The Shinra Representative interrupted the awkward silence and said. "General, with all due respect, your current territory is a strait next to Saddamistan, and we know The Great's attitude to Jihadists. The current civil war is a lose-lose situation."
Seeing the change on General Zahedi's look, the FUN representative said, "We understand that the disagreement is over the opinions of the Jihad. Therefore I propose that this issue is to be resolved over a council of respected Islamic Elders and Scholars in the Sultanate. Stop this pointless civil war." It was a bold proposal, but calculated well. The Sultan had the Grand Mosque of Libertia, most of the qadi agreed on halting the Jihad. The General definitely would have to submit to their authority and popularity.
The General had some doubts, but currently he was indeed in an uneasy situation.
"Alright, I hereby declare surrender to the Northern Sultanate, as well as give up my position on upholding the Jihad against the Lonestar Republic and Shepnukistan."
Al Gazira News Network
"After a few months of fighting. The Civil War in the Northern Sultanate has finally come to an end. Both sides, as well as representatives of the Shinra Republic and FUN have signed the Ramadan Treaty, which states that:
1. All General Zahedi's rebel forces surrender to the Northern Sultanate Army.
2. Formation of the Elder Council in the Northern Sultanate, a temporary Islamic representative parliament for the nation.
3. Retraction of the Jihad against the Lonestar Republic and Shepnukistan. Any individual or group still upholding said Jihad will not be sanctioned by the Sultanate.
4. Support from MESS and FUN nations as followed....

They had eyes everywhere. But they also had hands, and syringes.
"Fuck no!" the Director screamed. "Someone, sedate that man!"
Despite being hundreds of miles away, his voice was heard through the omnipresent telescreens.
"Goddamn it! Someone do something! Now!"

He had broken down. The pressure was too much. He was blubbering. Weeping. If it was any worse, he would've been voiding himself - pissing himself, shitting himself. Thank God it hadn't reached that point, but he was... mang, the scene was certainly hard to describe.
"You have no business in this war!"
"Announce your neutrality!"
"Save the FUN!"
".... I know you want too...warm and wet, and...."
"They'll kill us! They'll kill us all!"
"Maaaaaaang!"
"Prime Minister Shroom? Shroom, answer me! SHROOOOOM!"
The Prime Minister opened his mouth to scream as something hard and painful stabbed in his neck.
But he felt sleepy. Oh, so sleepy. The wonderful world of dreams awaited him...
While all that waited for the world was death and nuclear fire.
"He's sedated... someone get a doctor, stat. Goddamn it..."
The telescreens were still on.

King Zor-I sat back with a hot cup of Ginseng tea in hand as he looked over the reports. This was a time of crisis, he made no mistake about it. Zoria's plans. His family had been safely evacuated back to earth, the cities had been placed under martial law, children and pregnant woman were evacuated to locations outside the major cities, the Army, Air Force and Marines had been put on full alert, the strategic defense forces were on the ready, the entire navy was at sea and the Home Guard had been activated, with over 1,000,000 Disaster Relief Personnel. Stashes of canned food, fuel, machine tools and medical supplies were also moved to various regions out in the country-side in case of a prolonged campaign. NBC Gear had been distributed to every person. Zoria's entire nuclear deterent was ready, each Kirov had been equiped with two missiles with nuclear warheads, with the remaining eighteen on the coastline in the hands of specially trained mobile second artillery forces. He had just done several press releases and had been through several conferences with the Top Brass of the Zorian Armed Forces. War industries had been put into full swing and civilian industries were rapidly converted to meet the needs the military's needs. Requests for foreign aid had been sent out, although he feared they would not be honored in time.
Only a couple dozen kilometers to the south Lay Saddamistan, but the nation had redied itself that maniac had the audacity to try to cross that, he would pay in blood.

Location: Shadow Empire, Command Bunker
The Emperor had given orders for civilians to move to the improvised bunkers, and underground objects. The people were afraid but they believed in their Emperor and hoped for the best. The Imperial military was on high alert and were coordinating with the Bearn and Californication troops who were still present in the empire. The Emperor and his senior staff had moved into the command bunker beneath the capitol. They were as ready as they could be and the only thing left to do was wait and hope for the best.

"You're taking a huge risk."
Lonestar was watching the TV, there was pandemonium at all the civilian airports, as flights were canceled and "essential citizens to the well being of the Republic " were marched onto charter flights to declared non Belligerents.
"You mean Blackadder might not let the top-in-the-field nuclear engineers return? I think, I hope, he'll remember that...we're shipmates." Lonestar sighed. "But maybe not."
"He really thinks we only have 200 smaller warheads?"
"Mmm-hmm. I guess the fuckers engineers weren't all that great after all." 90% of the TLAMs in the LSR's inventory had nuclear warheads in them. "And he doesn't care. He as good as told me that he's going to specifically target fallout shelters. You think ever farm out there with a tornado shelter is going to get a nuke?" Lonestar said bitterly. Secretary DiBacco didn't say anything.
"You can step through and go home any time Eric."
"I don't think he'll find Site M."
Lonestar looked up at the ceiling. "No, but he sure as shit will find the civilian shelters, and he'll kill everyone in them 'just because'."

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

"Assuming the what intelligence we have is accurate, we may expect a nuclear exchange in excess of fifteen gigatons of firepower, with a significant proportion as nuclear groundburst against hardened targets. Fallout patterns indicate that we may receive moderate dusting from hardened targets in Eastern Shepnukistani, Vedra and possibly the Bear republic. Atmospheric conditions post laydown will almost certainly plunge the world into nuclear autumn and there is a high confidence that world crop yields will be substantially reduced throughout the world. Fisheries near and within the Archipelago have a high confidence of radioactive and chemical contamination from fallout and runoff.
"The effects of UAR biological weapons efforts remains unknown. The IRT will almost certainly be forced to quarantine its borders immediately to protect the homeland. Possible alternatives include major offshore staging facilities for personnel that must operate offshore, especially for wide-ranging fishing vessels that will become critical to feeding the population should stored food supplies run low or nuclear autumn effects last longer than estimated.
"Our best estimates indicate that the IRT will not be able to effectively aid most foreign nations. Coupled with biological weapons use, the IRT may well be forced to close its borders for the foreseeable future ... "

Arik sat back and frowned at the readouts. Looks like Shroom was cracking. Not that I can blame him, but... unfortunate.
Arik had already surged the fleet, and put airplanes in the air, flying defensive CAP. His nation's tiny inventory of nukes-- about a hundred TLAMS-- were spread out and deployed, some land, some sea, and some air-based.
On the subject of WMDs, Arik was mixed. He did not want to initiate a nuclear exchange, even a small tactical one, in the home region. So that meant that he should divert his weapons to Saddamistan... but of all the countries so far, Saddamistan had been oddly quiet throughout this whole affair. Passive, almost.
What if the entire war could be limited to just Shepnukistan, and leave Saddamistan out of it? He was dreaming and he knew it; even if Skimmer was completely asleep at the wheel this whole time, as soon as he woke up, he'd try to avenge is charcoal'ed comrade ...just because, basically.
"Where we at?" Arik asked Colonel Rassnar, who'd come into the airborne CIC of the zepp as quiet as he could. Samira was sleeping in the chair next to Arik, her face drawn and worried.
"Still in Shroomanian airspace," the Colonel said. "I hate to admit it, but if Shep is putting Shroomania on the neutral-party list, this works to our advantage. He won't strike us in Shroomanian airspace."
"Maybe, maybe not," Arik said, "I don't want to put Shroom to the wall, though. Let's get back over international waters."
"Yes, Excellency."
"Wha--? Whaddimiss..?" Samira sat bolt upright in the chair, blinking and looking around.
"Sorry to disturb you, madam," the Colonel said.
"No, no.. it's okay.... Arik? What'd I miss? Any word?"
"So far everyone is where that need to be, as much as possible," Arik said. "We're all on hair-trigger, but nothing's happening. I'm going to have our tankers ready to refuel Lonestar's bombers if necessary, but beyond that nothing has been heard."
"Do you think Shepnukistan will try to invade?" Samira asked. "Were the northern beaches done in time?"
"They're about 80% complete," Arik revealed, "Because of the cover story about 'erosion shoring', it was easier to get some stuff done than other stuff-- like the mines, the anti-invasion spikes underwater... you know, 'barrier reefs'," he said with a sly grin, "...the only thing that lagged behind is the underground stuff-- cement bunkers are built but we haven't connected them via subway yet, there's no plumbing or electricity in most of them...but they'll hold against an attack."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," Samira said.
"Indeed," Arik said. "Colonel, was there something else?"
"Yes, sir. Confirmation. The ladies," he said with a glance to Samira, "The children, the backup files, some SPS personnel and some gold are safely through the portal."
"Let's hope that, too, is an un-necessary precaution..."

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Imperial Chronicles
The Emperor was looking irritated at the map of Byzantium. High power broadband jamming was messing up just about anything within 40miles of Byzantium. The Beriev Phalcon planes were flying high with the rest of the interceptors looking out for any bomber fleets that were heading their way. The coastal regions were now guarded by troops of the Imperial Tagmata and the Thematic divisions. Thematic divisions have been in rotation ever since the crises came to fore a few months ago. All the work put into fast mass producing all manner of mines and what not for the invasion from two years ago paid off. Spikes and whatever could be thought off laid on the coast to make the enemy pay in blood any attempt to land troops on the coast. Anti-aircraft batteries also looked into the sky ready to shoot anything down. The Fleet had taken up position in the south and north looking out for any enemy vessels. The citizens have since been rounded up and sent to the bunkers deep in the mountains. All they had to do was to wait for the inevitable. King Arik had left after his guards brought him to his aircraft.
"Emperor, the weapons using Greek Fire have been prepared. We may have one weapon ready in a few days time," said the aide.
"Tell those techs to hurry the assembly or I will personally come down to assist them."
The adviser grimaced and headed off. The Emperor looked at the screen and clock. "Well, it's a waiting game. Let's just wait."

Official Announcement: due to escalating tensions the Republic's military are now on high alert, you will be getting upcomming video footage. Republic Port Authorities, will allow any and all combatants to land/dock in BR territory, your vehicles will not be allowed to leave, but you will be repatriated to your nation via Airship.
The Bear Republic announces Open Beta Test to all FUN forces. Currently The BR has 4 mothballed nuclear powered airships, that need crews, these vessels do have the wattage on their radar/microwave transmitters to cook whole flocks of birds, jam military radar and short out Missiles within short range of them. We will be willing to allow our remaining FUN allies to use these vessels.
Templar II GEVs currently we are building more Templar IIs then we have crews available, for these high speed ground effect vehicles. We are willing to let our allies have these vehicles for their own coastal defense, secondarily since these vessels have a low end Stinger compliment on their hard points they have some air defense capability. These will be available at 1/2 cost to FUN nations.
Though we do have 500 semi-stealth Fighter/bombers, they lack the range to be used for more then local defense, however, our latest generation Advanced Air to Air missiles, including our Anti-Radiation targeting systems will be available for purchase at 1/4th cost to FUN.
Thirdly. The Republic currently has some test bed systems. Those who have traded honestly and openly with us, can talk to us about loan of these new rifles. They fire a .50 cal. caseless self propelled projectile, that has enhanced accuracy and leathality at long ranges compaired to conventional projectiles. These rockets are also available with a limited number of explosive clips. (4000 rounds total are explosive), Note the "Ranger" assult rifle's clips are 2/3s standard 1/3 tracer, tests have not yet been conducted on the Ranger Assult rifle, just on the Yeoman carbine. Explosive rounds have not yet been tested. The Republic currently has full tooled manufacturing in Syndromia, The Bear Republic, and in Shadow Empire to make more standard Yeoman rounds.
Other test beds included Three transformer/capacitor powered non-nuclear airships which may or may not be ABM capable. The Republic was going to test their abilities, off the map to keep tensions down they are currently moored at Minas Morgûl airbase.
There are also a small number of "Hammer" class working models, though those are a bit buggy.
Secondarily while this was to announce the fact that the first Civilian "Goats" from the Norse Motors factory in The Shadow Empire were too have rolled off the line, the All terrian cargo haulers were quickly fitted with military options and turned over to the Shadow Empire's forces. Remember a Goat can go anywhere.

Other official Note, the BR has scrambled 1/3rd of their 688i fleet. not much that means I have now got six LAs out somewhere with Tomahawks, I presently have no nukes, or chemical weapons. They will not fire unless Republic personel or FUN personel are unilaterially targeted. (as in they will not broadcast, but they will recieve coded orders from Stratolites on regular scheduals)

We have four F-18s on continuous patrol over Baerne Island, to attempt to intercept any missiles or bombers that certain cloud-shaped nations to the north may or may not be sending after us.

"General - Under my orders you are to initial Operations Goalkeeper, Fullback, Quarterback, Runningback, But NOT repeat NOT Operation Play Action* - Is that understood?"
"Yes my Lord, confirmed that Full, Quarter, Running, And GOAL are to be executed, but NEGATIVE on Play Action."
"Good. Now Minister of State Chen, Contact both the UAR, the MESS, FUN, the UKB ITR, Heck EVERYONE, and inform then that New Patria is both a non-combatant and non-belligerent. Also inform all nations that the Northern Economic Zone is now closed to Non-New Patrian Air and Sea forces. Start Evacuating the secondary platforms, and issue lock-down orders to the rest."
(from several stations at once) "Yes my Lord."
"Oh and Chen - FLASH traffic it over all frequencies that we can. Minister Nezmith - what is the status of the Grail?"
"Sir the Grail is currently at a 6 hour stand by, and per Runningback that will be shortened to 5 minutes. Right now the only deployment methods are the Four Silver Plate P-3s and the four Silver Plate F-16s we have. The plan of reducing the Grail to 18 pieces from 30 had just finished before things went nuts, so we can actually deploy the Grail if needed."
"Good. We meet again in an hour if things stabilize,or sooner if they don't."
"Sir one last thing before we break"
"Yes General, the use of your four nuclear devices in ABM duties is Authorized."

Repeat the four nuclear airships command and control type are in armoured hangers in the desert, The Emporer Norton is also in the desert being loaded with long range Anti-Radiation missiles. Though Conventionally powered the Emporer is one of the few military vessels capable of reaching the upper atmosphere and staying there for a long time. Lets just say, as soon as that airship reaches the upper atmosphere one had better be broadcasting a desire to land if you come into my airspace with either a fissil package, or an active military radar. Remember to all combatants, I am officially allowing your people to land or dock. NO MILITARY MATERIAL WILL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE, personel will be repatriated, if they so desire. Which also means that any MESS or UAR crews that wish to "live in the Bear Republic" now is probably a good time.

Indhopal began a secret program in which they trained operatives to respond in case Indhopal was attacked. It was called Operation Treadstone. Men were trained to conduct Guerilla War and were then infiltrated into other Nations as sleeper agents. Many of the men were ex ProTe personnel who were given new identities, others were ecruited from Libertopia. It wasn't much. It also would only work in nations with relatively free borders, so was of no use against he most dangerous aponents. The program was kept extremely secret, and was run entirely from fronts, most of which were in foreign countries. The Parliament was not informed about it.

BC-49 sunk by Coilerburg Navy, BC-45 escapes
For the last several hours, almost the entire Coilerburg navy engaged the Shepnukistani bulk freighters BC-45 and BC-49, which had violently blasted their way out of Navalopolis harbor to prevent Coilerburg's government from seizing them.
The four cutters sent out to sink the two freighters were armed with nothing heavier than 25 mm autocannons, leading some to express doubt as to whether it could be done at all.
Nevertheless, the small fleet suceeded in sinking the BC-49. Because of the vulnerabilities of bulk freighters, the hits scored on the ship caused it to take on water and sink. Because of the number of hits scored and its rapid sinking, only two of the BC-49's crew survived to be picked up by the Coilerburg fleet.
The BC-45 escaped without much serious damage, in part because of an action that was almost certainly ordered by Captain Remington that involved the BC-49 turning towards the Coilerburg fleet instead of attempting to escape. The most explanation is that Remington believed that unless he did something drastic, that both ships would be sunk or captured, so he ordered the BC-49 to sacrifice itself in order to let the BC-45 escape.
The BC-49 was already sinking when the Coilerburg fleet continued to circle and pour more lead into its sides, causing unnecessary overkill and contributing to the successful escape of the BC-45
Two Coilerburg sailors died in the battle, one from small arms fire from the BC-49, and one from an accident caused by improper handling of a .50 caliber machine gun. Twelve more sailors were wounded.
PFL Iler called the battle "The baptism of fire for our navy", though he admitted that it showed that the navy needed improvement in both equipment and doctrine.
The BC-45 was heading to the west at the time the Coilerburg fleet disengaged. Analysts believe that Remington is heading for a neutral port, with either Shroomania or Vulpesia being the most likely choices.
