PNN - Phoenatican News Network

This is PNN!

Hello, and welcome to PNN, International Edition. Allow me to introduce who we are. PNN gives a weekly update on what is happening in our nation. Our main headquarters is located here, in Fox Nest, Phoenatica. As your people do not have television (it is like a rock with paintings that move), we are giving you our transcripts. We look forward to this cultural media exchange.

THE SINO-IROQUOIS WARS COME TO AN END

In a brilliant military campaign, commanded by General Falcon, our armies swept through what is now known as Nouva Terra: Salamanca, Niagara Falls (Mokra), Cattaraugus, and Allegheny. Much celebration was to be had when our people received the news that we had taken Salamanca. We got the pyramids, Leo's Workshop, and Copernicus Observitory. All of our troops not stationed to defend our cities were rushed to the war front to quelch the resistance. The Chinese cities quickly fell to a few of our tanks, and a need transport. After 3 cities were taken with just a handful of our tanks, A commander who goes by the name "Mr. T" said of the Chinese, "I pity the fools who use pikes!".

THE ASPHINXIAN GOLDEN AGE

If there ever was a golden age for a province, this is it. Asphinxia was not only the staging grounds for defending against the Iroquois invasion, they were the site of the recent banquet. Many citizens and dignitaries came, giving speeches, entertaining the party goers, and holding debates. The most interesting of which included Shaitan singing, and the Boil-Steamed Crab Debate. General Falcon was quoted saying, "We've gotta tell the world how they need to fix crabs"! President Chieftess even got in on the debate, siding with the Steam Crab side.

SPICE TRADERS GUILD RELOCATES

One of the oldest citizens groups in the nation is changing their headquarters to Arrakis, formerly Ayang. Chieftess was quoted as saying the move was due to its' more central location. The headquarters at Fox Next will remain as the Northern Branch. The STG Southern Branch is in Delphi.

ELECTION TIME

It's the elections again, and this time, there were plenty of posistions open! In fact, 2 provinces remain unfilled. Some blame the new law allowing only 1 government posistion per nominee, others blame 6 new posistion brought on by the new constitution, and expansion into Iroquois territory. While it may not be as exciting as Term 3, there are a few must-watch races! The Department of Science posistion is being decided between 2 former science leaders, Civanator and Strider! At last count, the two were in a virtual tie. The other race to watch, once again, is the Presidential Race. Chieftess and Donsig, also 2 presidents, are vying for the Term 5 spot, which may be the last term before our victory is met.

There is a post in our game, telling us about your game. (The Jungle Gazette, I believe). So, it's only fitting that we do the same.

No Uber.....They are our most trusted friends. They will probably honor that friendship and give it to us in goodwill.

We're sorry, it's against our policy to sell such technology to such primitive states. However, if a certain amount of money was added to my bank account...
