Politics in Russia today have become sick of hearing about how disturbed that Portigul is by teh army near Kursk, the gem city of Russia. Malin Kusain, Russia's military tactics General, spoke to the media today to try and explain why Russia's army is placed in that exact spot.
"Kursk is the central city of Russia, the city that lies between Ethopia and Portigul. It is at an angle so that if any war was made agianst Russia from Germany, Portigul or Ehtoipia, it could quickly arrive at all of Russia's border cities. And has not Portigul forgotton the huge army on Russia's borders? has it forgotton that that army was there BEFORE Russia stationed her army in Kursk? Russia does not plan to move her army away. If there is any treaty to be spoken of, let Joao speak first."

Joao was even more relaxed with the Russsian situation. All Russian troops stationed on the hill West of Kursk had been moved, apparently to St Petersburg.

Joao extends his thanks to the Russian leadership of the time and will only station Machine guns on the hills south of Coimbra - no offensive Portuguese units.

----

Another issue that Joao was slightly unrelaxed about was the Native Americans insistence on adopting the Communist ideology in return for the Communism technology.

It is clear that Portugal is a free enterprise nation and cannot adopt Communism; and now is the first nation to establish a corporation.

Mining Inc established in Lisbon is the first world wonder that the Portuguese have been able to complete. Mining Inc executives are currently spreading its activities world wide to its allies, particularly America and Rome once negotiations are complete but also to England of course, despite diplomatic blunders by that country.

The not so United States of America

From: Thomas M. Menino
To: Ali, President of the United Towns of America

Dear mr. President,

I have seen solid proof about one of our jewish citizen who has fled our nation towards the Ethiopians.
Mr. Elijah Ben-Gurion has departed our nation once we started to arrest the jews in New Boston. He took important scientific information with him and handed it over to the Ethiopians.

We hope, no, we demand, that you declare war upon the Ethiopians immediately if they refuse to hand back our highly classified information.

Signed,

Thomas M. Menino
Mayor of New Boston.

------------------------------------------

From: Ali, President of the United Towns of America
To: Thomas M. Menino, Mayor of New Boston

Dear mr. Mayor,

As you are supposed to know, there is freedom of religion in the United Towns of America.
We are supposed to fight the Islamitic Terrorirsts lead by the spirit of Saladin, with joint powers.

I am embarrassed to see that a Jewish genius like mr. Ben-Goerion had to flee from our nation.
And I am angered and ashamed to see that the mayor of one of our cities apparantly has sided with these terrorirists.

We will not declare war upon the Ethiopians under any circumstances. We will not demand the Ethiopians to hand back our knowledge or mr. Ben-Goerion.
I will send excuses towards the Ethiopians immediately, and ask them for forgiveness for the persecution of many Jews in New Boston.

Mr. Mayor, you are fired from your poistion and you will be replaced by someone who will serve the United Towns of America and the Freedom of Religion.

Signed,

Ali, President of the United Towns of America

-----------------------------------------------

Declaration of independance of the state of New Boston

We, citizen of the state of New Boston, declare that we are seperated from the United Towns of America from now on. We are not bound to the laws or the constitution of the United Towns of America. Neither do we acknowledge the position or the powers of the president of the United Towns of America, mr. Ali.

The state of New Boston will follow the laws of Islam and be guided by the former Mayor of the city of New Boston, President Menino.

Signed

Thomas M. Menino, President of New Boston

-------------------------------------------------

Response from Ali, president of the UTA, to the declaration of independance of New Boston

We do not recognize the independance of the state of New Boston. The towns of America are bound to be together, as been agreed back millenia ago by our first president, President Jefferson.
None of the states are allowed to seperate from the Union, neither is any of the states allowed to disrespect the constitution or the national law.

If New Boston will not acknowledge the authority of the administration in Jefferson, serious concequences will follow. Also will the president send military forced towards New Boston to end the persecution of the Jews and the installation of a fundamentalistic Islamitic Regime.

Signed:

Ali, President of the United Towns of America.

--------------------------------------------------

The gathering of the Mayors

Ali speaks to the gathering of the Mayors of all towns of America.

"Dear Mayors of the Towns of America,

I have called you together to discuss the issues that have risen in New Boston.
A new reality we have to face. An enemy from within our borders."

"I respectfully disagree, mr. President.", the Mayor of New Atlanta said.
"Don't you forget our Islamitic past and the cruel deeds that have been done upon us, and especially upon the people of Atlanta!
We owe our respect to Islam, and it's the state of New Boston that shows us the right direction! It's the United Towns has departed, not the state of New Boston, from the route of Islam."

"Nonsense!" the mayor of New York screamed.
"We need freedom of religion to warrant the position of Islam in our community. Nobody will deny the position of Islam in the UTA, though we do all reject the violence used by Islam in the past. And especially the violence used by the followers of the late Saladin, especially against the Jews."

"Gentlemen, we must agree upon a new direction for the UTA", the President continued.
"We cannot ignore the new facts that have been handed to us by New Boston. And New Atlanta also shows there are differences of opinion among the towns of America.

Therefor I suggest that we resettle our constitution.
I am willing to hand over more authorities to the individual towns and let the towns themselves decide upon many laws, rules and local issues.

Though we must agree together that we are bound together by the desire to be free. The desire to never be run again by jihadists. We all do worship Allah, though we should never be used again by people like van Buren or Saladin to fight against the rest of the world.

Gentlemen, are you willing to discuss the United States of America.
Are you willing to end the Terroristic activities in New Boston together."

Hawaii votes: YES
New York: YES
New Boston: n/a
Jefferson: YES
Chicago: YES
Philadelphia: YES
Washington: YES
Indiana: YES
New Atlanta: NO

"Is the town of Atlanta willing to follow the majority of towns, despite their difference of opinion?"

New Atlanta: YES

------------------------------------------------------

The United States of America

After the forces of the USA had retoken power over New Boston and putted a governor whos loyalty lies with the USA in New Boston, the United States proceeded to introduce the new form of their constitution.

Freedom of Religion was one of the basic rights of the new constitution, though the love for Allah and the desire to obey him was also included in the constitution, as been requested by New Boston and New Atlanta.

Especially the States that had suffered most under the genocide of the dutch hosted most forms of Islamitic Fundamentalism.
Despite the attempts of Ali and the united governors, Islamitic Terrorist was unable to contain. Mostly because many citizen of both New Atlanta and New Boston supported these extremists in secret.

A letter of peace was sent to the Ethiopians.
All Jews were offered compensation for their losses and offered new homes in cities in the other, less hostile, states of America.
Many jews returned from many corners of the world, though it would take much time before their numbers would equal the number of Jews in the USA before the massacres of the shrine.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ali leaves the office

After Ali left the office because of health problems, elections were being held in all states of America.
The main candidates, George W. Bush and Barak Obama eventually made the first elections in the USA exciting untill the end.

Eventhough Bush was able to get a grande majority of the votes in both New Boston and New York, and a small majority in Hawaii and Washington, Barak Obama won the elections.

[Mr.Lincoln]

Russia congratulates her comrades for finnaly putting an end to the religoius dispute not only between Ethopia and America, but in America itself. Russia also is enthusiastic about Barak Obama and is very hopeful he shall step in and do his job well. Though a pole in Russia showing that 61% of Russian citizens would rather have Bush leading than Obama, Stalin and his council are happy with the results of the elections. To show his thanks and agreement with the recent actions of America, Stalin has sent a gift of ivory to Ali and Obama.

[Mr.Lincoln]

A New Empire

In the year of 1458, our great leader, Stalin, passed away at the age of 79. His succsesser, Toni Blair, has made his presence as the new leader of Russia known. You could say hes given Russia brand new makeover.
Towards the end of the first year of Blair as Dictator, Blair began a multi million doller project called the Industrial Makeover. This project includes plans to create new Coal Plants in every city on Russia, and at the same time work to increase RUssia's recently stagnated industry. Many people deny this new plan, claiming that it is extremly dangerous to the air and may cause certin birth diseases in many cities. This fact has been proeven , but the rise in cancer and asthma and other lung disease reports has almsot doubled since this plan began in russia.
Blair has also changed the laws that have been in place for dozens of years. Blair ahs removed the police state, has un-adopted Communism, and has changed to free religon. Many people are callign Blair "the Charmistic Dictator." Only time will tell if he will live up to his new title.

Barack Obama resigns from the office

After leading the USA for many years, Barack Obama resigned from the office.
He will be known as the President who re-established the USA as an economic power who gave it a well position in the diplomtic world.
He ended the problems between the fanatic muslims and the liberalists, eventhough some claim that the ultra-fundamentalistic muslim-movement went underground and awaits new changes to strike.

Some claim that Obama's muslim background helped in settling the problems. Others claim that Obama never really was a muslim, but morely a good politician.

He was succeeded by Michael Bloomberg.

Huge explosions reported near New York

Giant explosions were heard in the city of New York, just in the deserts south west of the city.
Some people report that the earth was shaking. Others feared that the end of time had come.
Eye witnesses reported that many muslims escaped from their houses, watching towards the sky hoping for the comeback of Martin van Buren.

Neither the governor of New York nor president Bloomberg were willing to respond to the cause of the explosions. The New York desert was not accessable for anyone after the explosions.

[Mr.Lincoln]

The Word's First offical U.N. meeting:


(scene) Hundreds of international figures gathere from around the world, escorted by dozens of soldiers despite the fact that the U.N. is considered a truce ground. As the leaders begin to enter inside, they are not all pleased at their seatings. Ironically, The United States seating is right between the seating of the Dutch, Romans, Incan, and the Native Americans. If you can belive it, American Representitives were somewhat displeased. Afterwards, America privatly requested their seat be moved towards the Portigeuse and Germans who shared adjacent seats in the far end of the room. Dictator Toni Blair, the leader of the U.N. takes the stand and speaks the first offical words ever recorded in the United Nations Building:
"Hello comrades, we gather here today to respect and fufill the dreams of a man named Stalin who always belived better world, a world where there was no war and no fighting or disputes(looks towward the Dutch and Americans) we must unite and fix this world, if only at small steps. That is why I am putting up a bill that allows global borders to be open to all without anywar threats or disputes and inorder to fix the many economic issues this world faces today."
(*note: this bill will be put up for vote in actual gameplay on the next gameset "U.N. meeting")

New York finishes the Manhattan Project

Official declaration by President Bloomberg of the United States of America:



Dear citizen of the United States of America,

It is a privelege for me, as your president, to announce to you that we, the administration of the United States of America, have secured your safety from now on untill all eternity.

*applause*

Our best scientists in New York have been able to create a weapon so destructive that none of our enemies would even think about invading us.

*applause*

None of our enemy will even consider it to harm our children

*applause*

None of our enemies will even think about burning our houses

*applause*

Our history contains black pages of sorrow and dead. Our women have been raped and murdered by invaders. Our children have been sold as slaves. Our cities have been burned.
We have a history filled with sorrow and dead.
But this history is history from now on! There will be no more suffering!!!

*applause*

No more suffering for the people of America!

*applause*

For we have created a weapon and we have manufactured many of this weapon.
And if any nation will ever harm the citizen of the United States of America, we will not shy away from using it

*applause*

Not only did we create this weapon.
We also created a counter-weapon so that no other nation will ever be able to use such a weapon against us.

*applause*

We currently hold enough of this weapon to burn all evil nations on earth to the ground. And we will surely not shy away to do this. We have suffered enough. We, the United States of America have suffered under the murdering troops of the Dutch. Many of our cities were razed and millions dead. This Holocaust against the American people has forced us to defend ourselves. And defend ourselves we will!

*applause*

As we speak many more nuclear bombs, as they are named, are being manufactured. We will only use this weapon for defensive actions.
We, the United States of America, hate war. We have tasted war and we have had enough of it.

*applause*

For centenia we are already sick of war

*applause*

And if this weapon of mass destruction can secure our future from more war, then this weapon, which is pure horror all by itself, is a gift from Allah.

*applause*

There for I say to all nations on Earth: don't dare to harm us anymore, for we will strike back. And our strike will not give you a 2nd change for survival.

*applause*

Eventhough the firm tone of this message to you, leaders of the world, this is a message of peace. For it is peace we seek.

*applause*

We look for peace but we hope that you will be aware that our words are backed by nuclear weapons.

*applause*

*standing ovation*

[Mr.Lincoln]

Toni Blair, as he read a copy of this speech couldnt help to laugh at the final lines of the american's evil, threatening speech: "We look for peace but we hope that you will be aware that our words are backed by nuclear weapons."
"What kind of madman would do such a thing, even think about threatening the world with this insanity?!"
Immedieatly afterwards, in fear of America launching one of theri nuclear weopons, Toni Blair issued for a national emergancy siren check and for all defective sirens to be replaced and fixed as soon as possible. Workers in Russia have already began to make bomb shelters nation wide and it is believed that Russia herself has began to manufacture nuclear weopons of their own.
In a press conference, toni blair spoke of his reasons.
"America has gone too far this time. They have not only made up false information, but threatened the billions of peope inhabiting this earth with death and sorrow. America claims the Dutch have harmed them but I remind you that never once did a dutch soldier enter in American history United States borders. If i am not correct please say so. Russia has taken all possible action and will not stand for this. Russia swears that as soon as 1 nuclear weopon is launched and hits any city in this world no matter if its russia's greatest enimy or best friend, she will take action. Another reason for Russia's security actions beyond the recently heard words of a maddman is fear of American terrorists commbining as a force and somehow taking over an American nuclear wepon and using it agianst this free world. Russia urges america to increase nuclear wepon defences in order to make sure terrists dont get thier hands on these weapons of mass destruction."
When one of the reporters in the crowd asked about the rumor over russia's nuclear projects, Toni BLair refused to answer.

Letter to Toni Blair
From Michael Bloomberg, President of the United States of America

Dear Secretary Blair,

Our diplomats have reported about your concerns towards our nuclear program. I can assure you that we will not use our nuclear weapons for any other reason then self defense.

Islamitic terrorism has been under control for decenia already. Our nuclear security system is top of the notch. Only the president of the United States of America is able to launch nuclear weapons, using the special codes only he has access to.

I have to remind you about the fact that dutch troops have invaded American cities in the past. Many American cities were razed. Many buildings were destroyed. Millions of Americans died. The Dutch invaded America during peace negotiations. No American soldier had put foot upon dutch soil when the Dutch invaded America.

I have to inform you about this since your history records appear to be incomplete.

I hope that you will defend any nation that will be attacked by nuclear weapons. Unless this nations has invoked such actions themselves by invading America.

Sincerely,

Michael Bloomberg
President of the United States of America.

The Joao bloodline had for dynasties over eons remained close to the heart of Portuguese leadership.

Although no great wonders were ever built by Portugal the establishment of Mining Inc in Lisbon was the greatest achievement of any nation and rivalled the building of any other wonders.

Not only was Portuguese production ranked the highest in all of the world but the international profit taking catapulted the govrnmental revenues to such an extent that Portugal now rivalled the top financially advantaged nations of Inca and the Dutch.

It was a proud time for Portugal.

Portugal was concerned about the nuclear threat and had quietly armed herself without to much bluster. The tense international dialogs were cause for concern as Portugal worked hard on space research.

Faith in humankind re-assured Portugal and Joao in particular and humans would NOT self destruct. Humans have an ability to come close to the cataclysmic edge and the closer they get the more they identify with each other and then... pull back.

The UN can work in extreme circumstances and Joao supported this arena, despite its weaknesses. It was a mirror of humankind.
