![]() Rhodesian Armed Forces Announces Helicopter Competition. In recent news, the Navy, Marines, Army, and Airforce has announced the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) competition. The maritime force is looking for a helicopter to replace the SH-3H Gull (CH-124 and SH-3 Sea King Hybrid) that has been in service since 1964. The Army and Marines are looking for a medium weight helicopter to fill the gap between the UH-1Y "Bane," and the RAe Systems CH-47D "Kru." ![]() "A Gull Performing Aerial Refueling from a Ship" -Picture provided by the Rhodesian Navy The Navy has voiced concerns over the 51 year old platform, the SH-3H Gull. Concerns involving extensive fuselage wear, in addition to engines and transmissions failing. Captain Anja Bach of the Rhodesian Navy, head of the procurement office, was reached for comment on how the new helicopter will be chosen. Her statement was, "The new helicopter will be chosen by offering a contract to whichever company that offers the best equipment for the best value. Unlike most procurement strategies done in other nations, we do not give the competitors funds and then choose the best of them all. We pride ourselves on having the companies come up with the end result on their own dime. It is a gamble for them, but one that will definitely pay off in the end." ![]() "A RAe Systems RW90 (NH90) built in conjunction of Wey-Yu Industries. A Potential Replacement." -Picture provided by Wey-Yu Industries Media Outreach Another comment was asked regarding the rest of the branches choosing the same helicopter as the Navy. For which she responded, "The Branches have agreed that for the best in the ease of logistics, that a common platform will be accepted. Which is why we have also included additional provisions so that the competitors will have to meet in order to be selected. For now, the other branches are following the Navy's lead into a new medium weight utility helicopter." ![]() One of the foreign helicopter submissions, a EC225 Super Puma. -Picture provided by EC Media Relations Captain Bach also stated that the current service SH-3H have been reaching the end of their service life and that it was only a matter of time. The Gull has been updated multiple times to keep up with the demands of the ever-changing face of warfare. Plans for the soon to be retired Gulls will be gutted of sensitive equipment, and to sell them on the open market to willing buyers, or to sell them to developing nations looking for a medium utility helicopter for pennies on the dollar.

![]() Senate and House Finalize Reconstruction Plans for Genosha! In a rather drawn out slug fight in both the Senate and the House, both branches of the representative government has come to a conclusion. The "Genoshan Reconstruction Act" has passed with a close count, 7-6 of the Senate voted in favor, 19-17 of the House in favor. The GRA, a bill to fund the rebuilding of Genosha, has a reported budget in the millions upon millions range. Funds going towards the repair of damaged buildings, construction of destroyed infastructure, and new structures to be erected across the former Genosha. One of the new planned structures are to be schools, from kindergarten to high school buildings to be built in villages and towns untouched by the educational system. Hospitals are to be done to help afflicted areas suffering from illnesses and defects. Now a relatively stable region, the Rhodesian Military has opened the zone to all foreign humanitarian aid. An organization called the "Tigers Club," a non-profit humanitarian group, has started their TERC program. TERC is the Tigers Eyeglass Recycling Centers present in South Hills, Free Pacific States, and even in Rhodesia, despite local controversy. The TERC program is part of the Tigers in their mission to give Genoshans the chance to see the world in a clearer state. The Rhodesian government is offering massive tax breaks and other economic incentives for companies to open opportunities in the Occupied Genosha. Wey-Yu Industries, a rather independent Corporate organization, has announced plans to open a packaging and distribution center, and a office building in Hammer Bay, offering locals good paying wages as to stimulate the local economy. |

![]() The Marines and Army Announces Revival of the Tanks High ranking officers of the Marines and Army have in the last day, announced plans to revive the Rhodesian M1A1 Abrams out of storage. Mothballed in 2010 after long-term doubts of an Island nation needing main battle tanks for ground warfare. Extensive analyzing of the Genoshan War has led planners to the conclusion, that despite the changing face of war, Main Battle Tanks still hold their place. ![]() The M1A1 Abrams during Training Trails circa 2002 -Picture provided by the Rhodesian Marines Media Relations Office Inspired by the design of the Free Pacific States' at the time and current MBT, the Rhodesian government has sought out a suitable replacement. Development has begun in the early 90's to replace the vastly aging Chieftain Mk 5 tanks. ![]() The Stryker Assault Gun, the replacement of the Abrams in 2010 -Picture Provided by a photojournalist The total number of Abrams tanks operational before the mothballing was 60. Although experts fear that the number is lower after years of inactivity. Some put the range at 40-45. Experts also state that most of the tanks will be deployed to Genosha to reinforce current deployed men and equipment. In the meantime, both branches will convene on a military project to upgrade the current inventory, or to revive production. Sources from within the military say that a very classified project is being undertaken to research materials that can greatly enhance the survivability and lethality of the tank. |

![]() New General of the Marines Appointed! General Jack Ripper, a mustang of a Marine, has been appointed to the position after the then current General "Mad Dog" Lex announced his resignation following the end of the Genoshan War. ![]() A rare photo opportunity of General Ripper -Photo Provided by a photojournalist General Ripper joined the service during the 1970s, making leaps and bounds through sheer tenacity up the ranks. Having graduated from the top of his class at Fort Anaston Academy in 1971. Following the recent declassification of the Genoshan Bush War starting in 1974, General Ripper has confirmed that he himself has participated in the fighting until the very end of the 21 year clandestine war in 1992. Currently at the age of 62, he has proven himself throughout the years as a capable leader and fighter. Known by others as a "Go-Getter" and not afraid to "Think outside the box," he remains a popular figure within the Marines. James Reagan, Secretary of Defense, has commented, "General Ripper will be a great leader, with his drive and unique thinking, he will no doubt hold his position." One interesting question posed to the recently appointed figure was regarding the warmongering of the Rhodesian military. To which the General asked the Free Pacifican journalist, "Have you heard of the famous philosopher called Clumenceau?" "I'm afraid not," was the journalist's response. General Ripper then stated flatly, "He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 100 or so years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Anti-Rhodesian infiltration, indoctrination, subversion and the international conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily flui-excuse me, values of what it means to be a Rhodesian."

![]() The Branches Select Their Winner! After one week and a half of helicopter trials, the Marines, Army, and Navy confirmed the victor of the Medium Weight Utility Helicopter Contest. Rhodesian Aerospace and Wey-Yu Industries are taking home the contract, with their joint designed RW90 helicopter. ![]() The Prototype Version tested in the trails in camouflage -Photo Provided by Wey-Yu Industries Media Outreach Now being officially coined the UH-90 Super Gull, the successor of the SH-3H Gull. Two variations are to be procured by the Rhodesian Armed Forces. One for the Navy for Search and Rescue, and Anti-Submarine Warfare. The other variation is to serve as a medium weight utility helicopter for the Marines and Army to fill the gap between the UH-1Y Bane and CH-47 Kru. Edited by Val, Jan 25 2016, 11:16:23 PM.

![]() Earthquake Hits Genosha and the Tolorian Empire! Just yesterday, a massive earthquake registering 8.7 on the Richter Scale hit the Tolorian Empire and Genosha. Most of the damage being done to the Tolorian Empire. It is estimated that over 5,000 deaths, with many more wounded, have occurred. Several aftershocks have been recorded, some even in the Rhodesian mainland. Minor damages have been witnessed and a few fires, along with minor injuries reported in Rhodesia. The Rhodesian President and Vice-President have offered their condolences and aid to the greatly affected nations. The Rhode Reader has reached out to known geologist, Dr. Mark Himm, for comment. Dr. Himm has commented, "This is a freak occurrence. It is very rare for an earthquake to happen nearby, even rarer considering the size and intensity of such an event. Our men and women are baffled at how this happened in the first place, especially with very little warning." Meanwhile, Ultra-Nationalists in Rhodesia has protested the giving of aid, even more so at the recent proposal of accepting more foreigners into the nation. The political representatives were already under fire for passing the Genoshan Reconstruction Act. This event may lead to a rise in the fascist political party. |

![]() Tolorian Military Coup Rages On ![]() The capitol Honnes, in ruins after the Generals attempted a coup. -Photograph Provided by a Rhode Reader Photojournalist Military Separtists have recently succeeded in overtaking the capitol, Honnes. After one year of constant warfare between military forces and loyalists, it was possible that surrender on the part of King Magnes II's Loyalists will happen. However, with the recent earthquakes damaging major cities and infrastructure, the war has come to a stalemate on both sides. The Coup was result of King Magnes II's recent efforts to downsize the military. In addition to imposing further restrictions on the economic system, and demotion of prominent military officials who have opposed such measures. A stark reversal of the deceased King Magnes I has left many with a sour taste, even in the Veridian Empire, whom Magnes I was close with. Both nations have enjoyed a close relationship in the past, with recently declassified documents of the Genoshan Bush War pointing to heavy intervention and help from Magnes I's reign. A strong joint-military pact in strategic planning and research has only driven the two together. ![]() Tolorian T-90 Tank, a product of modernizing the existing T-72s with the help of the now current Veridian Empire. -Photo provided by the Ministry of War Magnes II's reign has in the past sought to widen the rift between both nations, starting with it's military in the pursuit of a democratic socialistic system. Important generals who blatantly opposed such measures were stripped of their rank and forced into retirement. Those would soon be replaced by individuals more loyal to Magnes the Second. The Separatists have constantly called onto the Veridian Empire for assistance, only to be met with half answers. The Veridian Empire has stated time and time again that they have no wishes to interfere in other nation's affairs unless the citizenry has demanded it. Edited by Val, May 2 2016, 04:13:57 PM.

![]() Navy Announces New Contract! The Veridian Navy has announced a multi-billion dollar contract that is underway. Rear Admiral John Honron, head of Naval Procurement and Review, was asked for details of the project. He said the following, "The Heavy Command Carrier is a huge project, one that will push the power projection of the Navy to unprecedented distances. It can carry a larger compliment of aircraft than our current Rhode-Class Aircraft Carriers, and is nuclear powered. It is also projected to reach top speeds that no other ships in our fleet could ever dream of reaching. The carrying capacity will be 85-95 aircraft, including helicopters. Expected length will be 433.3 meters; while the height, including draft, will be 102.39 meters. It will be far bigger than carriers in service across the globe." Another issue was brought up, regarding the costs of the project. Doubts subsided as quickly as they arose when Naval Procurement and Review was released approved documents regarding it's mission, and allying the concerns of funding. The Department of the Navy has absorbed the Air Force, freeing up tied down funds and reallocated them. The Navy still operates at the combined forces' capacities with greater efficiency, cutting down on inter-service rivalry and budget competing. Unfortunately, not much more could be drawn from the documents, referencing to obscure projects to which the Department of Defense has refused to comment on. Edited by Val, Jun 12 2016, 09:21:01 PM.

![]() Tolorian Empire on Verge of Collapse! ![]() Image Taken of Tirasot by Photojournalist Separatist forces have managed to push Magnes II's forces back to the royal palace, where heavy resistance continues. With recent talks between Separatist ambassadors and the Veridian Empire's leadership, economic and military policies were taken into question regarding the war-torn region. Karl McMahon has publically stated in an address to the Empire, "The leadership of the rebelling faction, has nothing but the best interests. They have stated time and time again to fight against the communist ideals. Time and time again, they have proven that. The Veridian Empire tries it's hardest to avoid being painted as a warmonger, yet there are some who call us that regardless. Talks with the Separatists have finalized over the past weeks, where we are giving economic support to the people who are ravaged in the conflict. Our fellow fascists are under attack by a regime who has sought nothing but the eradication of what it means to be fascist. The Loyalist forces, lead by the bastard Magnes the Second, have sought to eradicate the very way of life these people have lived under their previous ruler. Sixty years of Magnes the First has brought nothing but prosperity to the people, and has driven our two nations close together. We will provide support to our brothers in arms and prevent the scourge that is socialism." |

![]() First Successful Rocket Launch! ![]() Photo provided by VASA. The Veridian Aerospace and Space Administration has successfully launched it's first rocket into the skies. A historic moment as it solidifies the Veridian Empire's foothold into space exploration. The rocket is expected to take a 72 hour flight plan around Urth, flying around other nations and expending it's payload just to the south of Cape Hope. The specified payload is a hardened computer system that serves as a flight recorder, despite it being capable of wirelessly transferring data. Within a month, VASA plans on launching a manned rocket into outer space. |

![]() Oynenyuan and Veridian Union? Ambassadors from Oynenyua meet in DuVall to discuss the future relationship between the two nations. Leaked reports have suggested a possible trade, military, and political alliance between the two nations, although one segment has hinted at the inclusion of two other nations. Political experts have suggested that the two other nations may be the Tolorian Empire, and Genosha. Genosha, a former state before the annexation, now is a territory of the Veridian Empire. Despite being part of the Empire, it has it's own political system in place. Prominent government officials such as the Prime Minister of Genosha, Yvette Blackburn, has maintained the stance of being an independent nation working with the Veridian state. Her comment is as state, "We have prospered very much under the flag of the Veridian Empire, reaching unprecedented progress. Despite the treaty signed, we will always call forth the notion to declare ourselves as an independent nation. On the other hand; if such talks of a Union is fact, although I cannot confirm, then Genosha would gladly join and partake in the prosperous relationship." Recent sightings have confirmed that Yvette Blackburn was in DuVall the same time the Oynenyuan ambassadors have. Information is still rare. |

![]() Tolorian Loyalists Capitulate! Within the past hour, the last remaining remnants of the Tolorian Loyalists have declared their surrender to the Separatists. In celebration, gunshots can be heard over the capitol. Generals Neumen, Navarro, DeSanto, and Beneck, have declared it to be a new age of the Empire. A military junta is formed by the generals, each representing their respective territories within the Tolorian Empire. In related news, the Junta and the Veridian Empire has declared that it is partaking in an economic alliance to bolster the former's weakened economy. The value of the Veridian Dollar has dropped, speculators panicking at the weakening of the economy. While one's loss, is another's gain. Private industries have boomed in the stock market. Companies interested in expanding interests have started a massive bidding war on land and contracts in Toloria. One of the more prominent examples is Wey-Yu Industries, having started it's bidding on building "Rapid Pre-Fab Buildings" to house displaced persons of the civil war. |

![]() VexGen Pharma Provides an answer for more children? Within the past day, VexGen Pharmaceuticals has announced that they are nearing the end for the quest to boost fertility rates. The magic green pill, or so they say, is capable of increasing the odds of becoming pregnant with multiples. Representatives and scientists from the company have stated that triplets or even quadruplets would become more common under this new form of fertility boosting. ![]() Scientists and environmentalists in the international community have cried out, saying that such wanton increase in fertility would only damage the ecosystem and put undue stress upon the existing biology of mammals. Concerns also include the possible spike in premature births, mortality rate, and cerebral palsy. ![]() VexGen has responded to these claims, dismissing them as ravings of lunatics who see the next evolutionary step as backwards in the face of evidence. Reports released by the company have noted that the green pill prolongs the gestation period and reduces the risk of defects. Another statement included that the product will only be in select nations, due to existing "Morality" Laws, and to maintain a more reliable study of results. Edited by Val, Jul 10 2016, 11:06:03 PM.

![]() More Members to the Possible Political & Military Union? Reporters have noted that ambassadors and heads of state from Owha and Elbina have landed at DuVall International Airport. From there, convoys traveled from the airport to the Parliamentary building. Not a lot of information is gained from this other than the official Union count at six nations. Six nations that could be joining in a union that would solidify an economic stronghold. Some leaked papers have suggested an internal single market through a standardized system of laws that apply in all member states. The policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital within the internal market, enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development. Within member nations, passport controls would be abolished. A monetary union is also a very strong possibility. Sources within the Veridian Armed Forces have also indicated sweeping military reforms to provide standardization across all nations. Everything from military equipment to training, and even ranks. We will report more as the situation develops... |

![]() Genoshan Independence Recognized, yet Larger Things Loom Ahead? The small nation of Genosha, has ratified a constitution proclaiming it's independence from the Veridian Empire. An act that sent foreign experts reeling in shock, was further solidified by the Veridian Empire's official declaration of guaranteeing independence for the newly reformed state. Karl McMahon has publicly addressed the nation, and the international stage, "Ladies and Gentlemen, today marks a day which the Genoshan state has it's full independence granted by both it's parliament, and by the Veridian Empire. It will forge a new destiny for it's people. We have had a very complex history over the past century, even more so recently. It is now, with certainty, that a positive relationship between both nations will prosper. It is also with absolute certainty, that the independence of the recently freed state is guaranteed with the full might of the Veridian Empire." In somewhat related yet shocking news, talks of a political union has become official. This time with full dignitaries from Oynenyua, Elbina, Owha, the Tolorian Empire, Genosha, and the Veridian Empire. The talks are being held in Cape Hope. More info is to be garnered as the talks continue. |

![]() Veridian Navy Announces Dedicated Multirole Fighter Attacker Competition! The Navy has announced a new breed of jets, dedicated from the get-go for ground strikes and air combat. A jet that carries the Fighter/Attack title into combat and other roles the military might have in mind. The need for such a potent combination popped up when the Veridian Navy consolidated the Air Force into it's ranks, noting that there was a lack of a two engine fighter that could do both roles superbly. A single engine plane exists, the F-16 Copperhead. However, it lacked the range and ordnance carrying capability to two engine fighters of the same role. ![]() The F/A-14E Bobcat, the premier interceptor of the Veridian Navy. Military analysts have suggested that the existing F/A-14 Bobcats were more than suitable for taking over the role, however the Bobcats were designed from the start as a fleet interceptor. Shoehorned into multiple roles through various upgrades, it still remains a powerful reminder of the long reach of the Veridian Navy. However, opposition of the competition have noted that the F-111G Aardvarks made by Wernher Noah Enterprise and Wey-Yu Industries were more than capable of accepting the role. Responses to such calls have noted that the Aardvarks are dedicated interdictors and stand off weapons platforms. ![]() The Rafale, in use by the Free Pacific States as a Multi-Role Fighter Jet. Study groups have stated, that the Rafale is quite possibly the best contender out of all. Noting it's performance and service record with one of the closest allies of the Veridian Empire. Complaints have arisen from it not being an indigenous design and that we would be giving up potential jobs. As a response, Wey-Yu Industries and RAe has responded, saying that there is quite possibly a better jet in mind. |

![]() Veridian Empire Denounces Lazlowia Earlier today, Karl McMahon has issued a formal denunciation against the Lazlowian government. The President of the Veridian Empire went on a twenty minute televised speech, criticizing the communist government for its "Rose-tinted views" upon the former monarchy of the Tolorian Empire. He cited multiple eyewitness statements and news segments from before the coup, mentioning the mass jailing and execution of suspected dissidents. "The Government of Lazlowia's complaints of needless killings are severely overblown. However, it doesn't mean it is not wrong," McMahon was quoted as saying. He referenced to groups of National Socialists, or Nazis, as the perpetrators. Those who commit acts of ethnic cleansing, and have been the target of the military junta. He has also remarked, "There is a difference between Fascists, and Nazis, those who fail to know the difference fail to understand politics. We have no tolerance towards those that wish to slaughter others based upon the color of one's skin or fur." The president has also shot back, "Those refugees are not completely innocent like you want others to believe. They have also been part of the witch-hunts hosted by Magnes II, those who are either are or related to members that imprisoned, tortured, and executed dissidents. The Lazlowian government has a choice; rescind their economic sanctions, or be known for stepping into the wrong side of history." Despite the rhetoric, President McMahon has calmed Parliament, saying that no economic action will be taken until the Lazlowian Government responds to the statements. Several Lazlowian citizens on travel or visas inside the Veridian Empire has voiced their concerns of possible deportations. The government has given an official comment, saying "Any and all Lazlowian Citizens withing the Veridian Empire's borders are permitted to stay within the borders until further decree. If the economic sanctions remain, then those of Lazlowian nationalities will either be asked to rescind their citizenship or deported. Standard pathways to citizenship applies to those renouncing their Lazlowian Citizenship." |

![]() Moves toward a common military? Shocking press releases of the Armed Forces of Oynenyua, Tolorian Empire, Owha, Genosha, Elbina, and the Veridian Empire; have announced military standardization measures. Rhode Reader contacted military analysts that have responded to this, "It's rather shocking, especially how these processes never reached the light of the day until now." One facet of the standardization releases were the selection of cartridges and rifles amongst the myriad available. The recently formed state Oynenyua never had a standard cartridge, relying on any and all small arms that were able to be fielded at a moment's notice. Rifles such as the AK-47, AK-74, FN FAL, M-16s, and various others are widespread. The Tolorian Empire fielded G3, roller-delayed, rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm. Owha fielded HK33s utilizing 6.5 Grendel. ![]() The WYBR-338, an oddball choice. Despite all these available platforms and cartridges, the standard service arms were settled. The militaries of the aforementioned nations are to adopt the ubiquitous .338 Federal in the shocking Wey-Yu Battle Rifle 338. The Federal cartridge was touted as a bone crusher; a massive .338 caliber cartridge shoved in a 7.62x51mm case. Recent combat data in Genosha and Oynenyua has proven that long range cartridges are not the best for the fighter in war. The .243 Winchesthair served faithfully for the years but it's overbore properties has worn out it's welcome. The new round offers a bigger bullet at a slower speed, using brute force over speed. Polymer magazines are also expected to be common to reduce the weight on the warfighter. The Rhode Reader's military analysts were shocked upon hearing the announcement, with a huge majority leaning in favor of the .243 Winchesthair continuing it's lengthy service. The existing MG3 inventory will be rechambered for the larger cartridge, with newer production to help further unify the NGU's military. The service Marksman and General Purpose Machine Guns are to be chambered in 9.3x64mm Brenneke. A massive cartridge suited for taking down dangerous game such as bears or water buffalo. The power behind it is on par with contemporaries such as the 300 Winchester Magnum, utilizing a larger cartridge. Recoil is detrimental, but with it restricted to Marksman rifles and GPMGs, it is the least of concerns. ![]() The DM-93 Rifle chambered in 9.3x64mm Brenneke. ![]() The new GPMG, the MG6. A larger version of the venerable MG3 chambered in the Brenneke cartridge. Following these press releases, a standardized uniform and camouflage pattern is also confirmed. However, no photos or evidence has arisen of what pattern was accepted. Edited by Val, Sep 15 2016, 03:14:41 PM.

![]() The Northern Gondwana Union Ratified! Over the course of months, representatives from each member nation in the talks has ratified the Treaty of Cape Hope; proposing a political, economic, and military union. Oynenyua, Owha, Elbina, Genosha, Tolorian Empire, and the Veridian Empire, have now begun their efforts to consolidate every governmental branch in accordance with the bill. What the NGU flag will look like. Economic consolidation started with the Gondwanan, a form of polymer currency. Then multiple sessions lasted over the topic of economic laws, mostly based off of the Veridian Empire's existing laws. Several organizations, such as Corporate Watchdogs, have spoken out. Claims of corporate favoritism has been brought up, but political figures have dismissed them as paranoia. Despite this, photos of Wey-Yu Industires officials have been seen entering and exiting the building where the talks were held. While the political and economic union is effective now, the military leadership are still debating on which actions to be taken for the consolidation. Military equipment and training standardization is in place, taking after the Veridian Empire's recruiting and training policies. Companies manufacturing Performance Enhancing Drugs for militaries are expected to increase in value following this. VexGen Pharmaceuticals, has increased in stock price by 4% and increasing steadily. |

![]() NGU's Via Act! The first act of the recently formed Northern Gondwana Union was recently announced. The move is to standardize all forms of transportation across each member state. From railways to roads, an act that would take a projected one to two years to finish. Included was to install a better logistics system for the nation Oynenyua. Oynenyua is a large, poor nation, rich in minerals and various other resources. It is currently embroiled in a territorial war with various other factions including mercenaries and small tribal groups. Veridian soldiers are still deployed in the country with goals of coercing peace. In a joint operation, Elbina and the Tolorian Empire have sent expeditionary units to the region in efforts to stabilize the nation and it's Union. In populated areas free from strife, new train stations and roads are to be built to the new standards, including railways leading to and from major excavation sites and industrial zones. Major highways are planned for development in Toloria, Genosha, Owha, and Elbina. One of the major deciding factors for the construction of highways is the rise of daily drivers. Genosha was a notable example, thanks to foreign companies investing and opening locations in the small country. Vehicles imported from the Veridian Empire sold quickly, although a market exists for South Hills "Muscle Cars" or Free Pacifican "Sports cars" for the well off. |

![]() The Union Extends a Hand to Maxtopia and Bigtopia Earlier today the Northern Gondwana Union has extended a helping hand to the afflicted nations of Maxtopia and Bigtopia. Recent victims of jingoistic actions perpetrated by the Tripartite State has rendered the nations damaged. It was in a stunning move that the Union immediately called for the Tripartite State's immediate withdrawal and cessation of military acts against the two minor nations. The nation has heeded the warnings and then followed the four demands mentioned in the diplomatic letter. ![]() The Capitol of Bigtopia, just hours after the military recall of Tripartite State forces. After the withdrawal, Maxtopia and Bigtopia were still stricken. The economy followed a free-fall, with governmental leaders panicking over a already disgruntled populace. The Union has offered to help bolster the local economies, with foreign investment. Although one particular offer has anti-expansionists panicking, the offer of membership within the Northern Gondwana Union. So far the local governmental leaders have neither confirmed nor denied these offers, still trying to maintain control over it's already shattered economy. Citizens of both nations have found themselves moving out, immigrating into neighboring countries. So far not much can be told, with things not looking positive for Maxtopia or Bigtopia. |

![]() Maxtopia and Bigtopia Accept Talks and Assistance. Maxtopia and Bigtopia have agreed upon the unilateral assistance from the Northern Gondwana Union, and that was acceptance. As a result, the Nothern Gondwana Union's James Rhode Industrial Average (JRIA) has climbed several points in the market. Many investors are saying this is only a speculative moment, since the JRIA could come back down to average. One investor was quoted, "It's temporary, Maxtopia and Bigtopia are currently broke. This boost benefits the companies and speculators, but in the end it'll go down because there is no money being made. The return on investment won't be there, if both nations never do get back on their feet." While others are more optimistic. President of the Commission Lucius Breggan was asked during the Press Briefing about why the Union reached out to help. Commission President responded, "It is not the true test of how strong nations are by their industrial or military might, but through how they interact with others. Maxtopia and Bigtopia have been two nations wanting to make their way, up until the Tripartite State decided to block it. The Union has done what was right, and offered assistance. We have also offered membership, although that comes with high costs even for newcomers." During the press briefing, more reporters have started shouted and clamoring trying to get another answer. The Commission President stepped out and the Press Secretary had to handle the deluge of reporters begging for another tidbit of information. |
