No-one Surprised at ex-King Case's Electoral Victory

As predicted by most of Italy's political scientists and criminal psychologists, ex-King Case has been swept to victory in Italy's first truely democratic elections. Speaking to the media after the electoral result was delcared, the new Prime Minister denied that he used any ruthless tactics in defeating his opposition. When asked about the strange fate of his opponents PM Case had this to say: "sure, not many people fall into the crocodile enclosure at Naples Zoo, but I guess that it was just really bad luck that all my oponents did so two nights before the election".

Cyrion: I've put off finishing the RR bypass for one month so that your freights can move out. They should be able to get a clear run through Italian territory to France.

ANZAC: I can wait as well

Bilbao Captured! General AI in French Hands
Held up by the difficult terrain and the guerrila tactics of General AI's troops, French forces have been making a difficult and ardous advance through the mountains on northern Spain for the past four months. Just two days ago however, the efficient and well-equipped French troops triumphed over these desperate fanatics, capturing the stronghold of Bilbao in a pitched battle that had lasted over a week and left much of the city in ruins.

As the French flag was hoisted from the remains of Bilbao's bell-tower, an military police unit on the edge of the city intercepted an group of rebel officers trying to flee the city. These proved to be General AI and his most trusted officials, who promptly taken into custody. Upon the news of their leader's capture, the rebels garrisoning Ovideo surrendered, and have been interned by more French military police. All of Spain is now free from the menace of the mad General at last!

While French and Spanish crowds madly celebrated the victory of right against tyranny and the conclusion of the war, the General was taken to Marseilles where he awaits trial by an international court of French, Italian and British judges. A provisional Spanish government has been established in Ovideo, while French, Italian and British ministers are planning a meeting in Madrid later this month to work out the future of the rest of Spain, which is presently divided into military districts administered by its liberators.

In the French region at least however, it is uncertain whether there is much wish to return to the old days of an independent nation. Under French administration the districts of New Aragon and Castile have grown and prospered, in contrast with their stagnant condition under the old monarchy and the mad General. Numerous local Spaniards have even been petitioning for formal inclusion in the Third Republic. The Premier Winterfritz, presently touring the Spanish territories - and meeting wildly enthusiastic crowds wherever he goes - has not dismissed the possibility. 'The Third Republic is a people's democracy,' he told the cheering population of Madrid today, 'and if the people want the inclusion of the Spanish territories in France, that is what the people will get.'

[winterfritz]

I'm going to leave Ovideo independent so that we can create a new nation from it if necessary (as they did in the original AoW pbem.)

And I can wait as well Anzac

[Cyrion]

Case: I hope my freight wasn't hindering your work too much.

And ANZAC: I can wait as well

But I'll play my turn tomorrow or the day after anyway...
