Good day everyone, here are todays top stories...![]() Political Strife is a common phrase thrown around these days, as the People's Republic of Vladistock island is brought to an international stage for the first time. "Our leaders decided to send forces to the island because the People of Vladistock are ruled by a heartless dictator, one who gives no political freedom to his citizens whatsoever. The Central Committee and the Premier were deeply troubled by the fact that a fellow socialist nation was oppressing its People in so horrible a fashion. The forces sent there have orders to aid civilians and inflict only the minimum necessary casualties." This disturbing statement issued by Krechzianko has caused an uproar in the vast artistic and cultural societies of Vladistock's cities; and crowds of protestors flooded the streets yesterday in response to military action taken by Krechzianko and their allies. The government of Vladistock Island under the rule of exalted Dictator Ward, has mobilized the large military, air force, and Navy that the country has always had, but rarely needed. Attacks on beaches as well as a power plant in Vladistock Island have been vicious, and reported casualties are in the range of 500 - 1000 dead plus many wounded. The Dictator assurred the people that they are safe, and military movements - Including a blockade of the Northern Shores as well as Air superiority over the island, have only added to the tension in the area. In other news, Sporting events are still few and far between... as athletes and owners argue over financial issues. Since the government pulled funding for national sports, athletes have found it hard to get anywhere in the business. "The Government needs to support recreation" Said former sports minister and political analyst Shiela Klevsky. "Tradition has shown us that government regulation has been beneficial to the nation, and it is no different in this issue." Sports is not likely to be an issue taken in by the government, especially since recent international incidents. Let's now throw it over to Hendrick with the weather... Thank you Ric, a storm system is moving in and likely percpitation will range from... |

(OOC: Okay, this post contains some god-modding. Xiopothos did NOT conduct beach raids because our military has yet to even act in combat. Like said earlier, civilians will not be intentionally harmed, and I believe that you are using misleading propaganda to try to paint Xiopothos as a warmonger. This is not true, and we are not looking to expand our borders. We simply want to remove tjhe dictatorship from power. For examples of why: your people have NO political freedoms, which means that if they speak out, you can have them tortured, maimed, killed, etc. Krechzianko and I feel that such inhumanities are uncalled for to maintain order in a country, and so, you can understand why we would want your dictatorship gone... correct?) |

Make what you want of our news reports... they are merely the reports im giving you... (may or may not be government controlled?) You have to make of these things what you can... you assume too much. Oh, and you destroyed a power facility manned by civilians... hence civilian casualties... whether you intended them or not. |

What krech meant was that it only disabled the facility(how, I really don't know myself, but you need to ask krech that...), not blow it up. |

OOC: Guys..its a news thread. News threads aren't actual RPing, they are simply representing the major medias of each nation. If the media of a nation is controlled by the government, then it will no doubt include lies, exagerations, and facts we might not agree with.. Its called propoganda, and on a news thread, its totally legal. I'll leave the posts on this thread intact, unless Vladistock asks that I delete them. |

VNN EXCLUSIVE:![]() Crowds of people flooded the entranceway of the palace, as Peace was announced due to Dictator Ward signing a peace agreement with Xiopothos and Krechzianko at a summit in Kelssek earlier this week. The people praised the Dictator for handling the situation swiftly and with minimal bloodshed. Furthermore, Vladistock Island economy has grown greatly due to recent progressive social policies as well as increased demand for manufacturing of military products. Vladistock Island is likely to become an active, and respected member of the global community. Draftees marching through Vladistock Streets

Peace was shortlived in Vladistock Island, as it was announced today that an expeditionary force and naval fleet of the People's Army has been sent to the Free Pacific States to fight in the battle of Faramount. Right winged analysts say that it's about time that Vladistock took the initiative to aid their fellow East Pacific allies, especially with a pending invasion by Packilvania. Others were less optimistic and prefferred that Vladistock Island figured out its own internal issues.... such as the communications and computer problems caused by Chimera. "We have yet to see the full potential of Chimera, we were lucky that it didnt penetrate our computer systems. This virus evolves, and we are still at danger and must recognize this." Said VNN technical consultant Gary Samsonov. "Just look at the damge its causing in other EP countries!" It is difficult to tell at this time what an East Pacific war will mean to Vladistock Island, and the nation is on its toes in anticipation of oncoming victory, or doom. |

Peace in Vladistock? Today, the troops are headed home to Vladistock Island. Some have remained to aid in reconstruction of Faramount, and to add much needed personelle to Faramount police and medical services. The People's Army is welcomed home by relieved patriots, who had reluctantly accepted the need for military assistance in the Free Pacific States. Had the conflict with Packilvania escalated, the East Pacific could have had a full scale Nuclear War on their hands. A coalition of cooperative nations in the EP were able to put aside past differences to hold off a common enemy. Most importantly, Dictator Ward has proven the effectiveness of his rule. Cynicism of the dictatorship has declined dramatically. This is a result of a proud military, strong and stable economy, and strong fiscal outlooks for the society. The People's Republic of Vladistock Island has become a large player in the International Community. |

Turmoil In Vladistock Island Today, representatives from the East Pacific Treaty Organization arrived in North Vimygrad to discuss aid in the current uprisings in Vladistock. The Dictator has yet to formulate his position on accepting help, but is unlikely to give in to international pressures and concede to the need of aid in Vladistock. The government, currently operating in the University of Northern Vladistock deliberates on how to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, the city of Vladistock is still in turmoil. Cleanup and rescue has yet to begin at ground zero, 1009 Josephine street. This is pending an attack on the Capital, which has been delayed due to complications in placing troops in the area. Reports say that the Capital is currently being held by rogue factions of the "Sons of Liberty", however, the 39th Mobile Infantry is getting close to engaging. In other news... Cape Ward is retrofitting a new space port, the project currently estimated to cost 3 Billion Shawnti's, but expected to cost more as the project continues. The new space port will be a massive improvement for Vladistock's fledgling space program, and will be an international space port capable of docking even the largest of battlecruisers and trade ships, which are also expected to be produced at the nearby Vladistock Space Manufacturing and Design Centre (VSDC). The director of the VSDC, Vassili Chemsky says "the facility will accelerate Vladistock's position as both an international and intergalaxy trade player." The facility, one of only a few in the region is impressively modern, with technological capabilities that the government refuses to divulge. |
