MI apologizes for her lack of farsightedness that it could be modified to be used as a weapon in creating the virus, but contends that the form created by the government was completely harmless. She invites the SOlar System's leading geneticists to scrutinize this claim, making the DNA sequences of the samples (at least those that dont mind having their DNA sequence publicized) public.

WAR IN OCEANIA
On 21:07 Italian time, the Australian attacked the Japanese Colonies of the Empire of Japan, Italy, as an ally of Australia declared her neutrality to the conflict :"Italy has a Mutual Protection Pact with Australia, since in this case Australia attacked Japan, and not viceversa, Italy will not join the war in either side" declared General Garibaldi, his words are then confirmed from the Emperor "We will not take part of the war" declare Emperor Giovanni Del Vino "we are not a wormengering nation, therefore peace shall rule in Italy".

Mars plays with human genes
It is now official that Mars intriduced a virus on earthing colonist on Mars "This virus is harmles" declared MI, trying to defende her inmoral actions the UK president called for sanctions against Mars, recalling what happened in Lunar Colony 3. The Italian Government didn't declare anything official about the issue.

New metal invented
Italian scientists in Anatarctica just created a new league mixing about 10 metals, 6 of these coming from the Italians mines in Phobos, The new metal was called Leonardicum, in honor of Leonardo, the scientist whi invented the formula for it.
Leonardicum has a very high resistance to heat, it is extremely light but extremely strong.
"This is the perfect metal" declared Leonardo "It is strong, but light, it can resist well at 200 degrees Celsius as at -200, it can make for a veri large scale of usage, plus is very cheap"
The Italian Military already bought the formula, and started the designing of a new kind of aircraft, this aircraft will be able to fly not only in the sky of Earth, but of the moon too.
The project for be developed will take something between 3-4 years.

Fine, Australia decides not to be that much of an ass and withdraws from the conflict, only taking one island. The war, although not seemingly significant did produce some major changes:

Australia is back on Phobos, and withdraws it's deal with Free Mars. Since we know this will cause tension, we are now back where we started with Free Mars.

Australia has severed all ties with the UK, In Sydney and Melbourne thousands burned pictures and photos of the British Sovereign on the streets. Parliament has declared Australia a true republic and relations with Britain have been severely damaged.

Australia apologizes to Russia, Free Mars, Italy, and Japan for the inconveniences they have caused and have offered them all Hush-money. Australia spits on the UK calling them "America II, looking our for their own self centered interests and trying to insure the welfare of those nations who bring them the most prosperity"

CI Willks is up for reelection as "President." Because of his aggressive policies, he is not expected to win.

The ULS is interested in procuring the formula to this metal, it could be helpful in our space stations.

I would be willing to pay a large sum and allow free docking at Outreach I for Italian Millitary Space vessles.

"Emperor"

"Yes Raffaello"

"the Australians stop the fighting in Japan!"

"Uh?... already? I guess the war wearness in Australia was extremely high, and since they are near elections CI Willks didn't want to be too unpopolar"

"Yeah.. i think so too"

"Any news from Mars?"

"No sire... but the ULS, have asked to buy from us the formula of that new metal we just discovered"

"I see no reason for not to, the United Lunar States have always been friendly toward us, plus we have a non-aggression pact right?"

"That's right sire"

"Tell them I will sell them the formula"

"I will sire"

In short
We sold the formula for the metal to te ULS

[Giovanni Wine]

"Oh Raffaello"

"Yes sire?"

"Tell the ULS we will sell them the other 7 metals of the 10 they need to make the new metal, since only 3 of them are rom the Moon, while 6 are from Phobos and 1 is from the Earth"

"I will sire"

"Tell them that for this we would like to have access to all the future Outreach that the ULS are building, and tell them that Italian Engeneers and Spaceship are ready to help them in the construction, to speed it up, if they need our help"

"I will sire"

"Good job"

Hehe

The sirens in Achilles I blared, The New samples were arriving and there were to be no screw ups. Admiral Claudius was there in person to receive the metal.
"We thank you for this, send our highest regards to the Emperor."
"I will be sure to. Saluti"
"Thank you," The Admiral said handing the precious ore to a lead scientist and shaking the Italian's hand.

Project Iron Eagle has begun, a new fighter design had been in the works but needed exactly what this new metal offers the first Comet fighter should take off from the Jupiter base in 2 years (we had plans already) It will be able to, unlike other spacecraft, go from Atmosphere to Vaccume with no loss of capability and even fighting all the way. 9 of the 10 required elements have been found in the Asteroids and the last, the rarest of them all untuil now only found on Phobos, was found in plenty on Jupiter.

OOC: Mars still has no HyerAdvance Engines which, if you read the first post carefully, allow humanity to travel freely through the system, reaching as far as Pluto in only a month. Mars has none it would take them, with the engines they currently have, 1 year to reach earth.

Outreach I: 2 years still

The ULS offers to assist any member of the Star Reachers Pact should they join the game.

President Jonny's Reaction to the Australia-Japanese Conflict

President Jonny denounces the military actions by Australia against Japan, even though the conflict was short lived. There was no reason for the Australians to attack. The GDFR suggests that Australia pays a small amount of "war reparations" to help the Japanese recover from the unprovoked attack.

German Scientists Request Formula for Leonardicum from Italians

The Italians have recently discovered a new material called Leonardicum. German scientists are highly interested in this formula. The GDFR would be willing to pay for the formula for Leonardicum from the Italians.

GDFR Elections to be held next year!

Elections are to be held next year. President Jonny is not expected to be re-elected. There are several people in the running.

Antarctica Update

Colonization of Antarctica has been going smoothly. The old Italian research base has turned into another German town, similar to all the others, small towns with Plexiglass domes. The
German-Antarctic Capital has been established at a town named Shackleton, named after the explorer. A map showing progress is included.

MI eagerly awaits the election of a new, more friendly Australian leader. Until then, Australian troops are not being allowed to create any bases but are allowed to live in the Imperial Villages as foreign citizens visiting.

Because of Italy's growing friendship with the ULS and the waning of their friendship with AUstralia, MI offers a pact of "mutual amiability" partway between an alliance and a nonaggression pact. I also offer increased access to the mines on Phobos in exchange for the recipe for the new metal. We also hope to begin extensive trade relations with you.

President Jonny was in his palace, watching the German News Channel on his HDTV. Normally, he wouldn't watch this, relying on the GDFR Intelligence Agency for news. But today he was watching the election results. One by one, each state of his empire gave their voting results for Presidency.

It was clear that Wilhelm was winning, which was exactly what Jonny wanted.

When Jonny had announced the beginnings of the GDFR, Wilhelm was one of his biggest supporters. Now, he was the presidential candidate for the GDFR party.

"None of those crazy socialists, communists, fascists, or fanatics will win today," thought Jonny. "Germany will still be a democracy."

Offical Election Results out Soon!

Experp From Canberra Kangaroo:
[SIZE] Former Head Of Parliment Sarah Hetkins Wins Aussie Elections in a land slide!

The former Head Of Parliment of both New Zealand and Australia Sarah Hetkins, won Aussie elections in a landslide, beating out Reformed Party candidate CI Willks. Hetkins lead is currently projected at about 78% and her personal popularity seems much higher. Ms. Hetkins the commonwealth party head, has no plans to repair ties with former Mother Country Great Britain. Instead she hopes to forge her countries new identity through peaceful solutions, but warned that in the case of Phobos (A disputed moon in which both Free Mars and Australia claim ownership of) a more aggresive stance might be needed.
Before being whisked away to a grand victory party Ms. Hetkins issued the following statement to longtime friend and ally Italy:

The newly formed Australian 'democratic-republic' hopes that Italy accepts a new deal for continued cooperation. The New Austro-Italian Alliance will be a stronger more lasting bond between our two nations. The new alliance is aimed at keeping current Australian and Italian lands Sovereign and promoting peace and justice throughout the Universe. The new agreement will also focus on trade, and eliminating tarrfs and duties so both our nations may prosper, the President and all of Australia hopes to welcome you, with your consent, into this new and everlasting alliance.

This is officially proclaimed our national holiday! (OOC: in addition its also my birthday )

INDEPENDENCE WAR IN GREECE
During new years celebration the local Persian administration in Greece was set on fire and burned to ground. The Persian Police answred by arresting 10 people and sentecing them, without any trial to death. Anger between Greeks for the Persian oppression on them arised at the point that Greece is now fighting a real War of Independence. The Persian army went in Greece in order to quell the resistants, but the Greek militia is holding good, thanks to the great support of their people, and a surprisingly high level equipment.
The Italian government have not declared an official position in the conflict, but our informators reported to us that Italians weapons are being shipped daily in Athens and Tessalonikki in support of Greeks rebels.
Interviewed by us, Domestic Minister Raffaello spoke :"The war in Greece is felt greatl by us, and by the Italians people, we fought our war against Persia 40 years ago, when Italy was still a small country with a very backwards army, and we won against Persian Imperialism, we sure know what the Greeks are feeling right now"

Leonardicum formual sold to Germany and Mars
The Italian government just declared that such a great metal can not be kept secret from humanity, and decided to agree to the proposal of buying it made by Mars and the GDFR. Mars promised Italy a larger and safer use of our mines in Phobos, while Germany simply boight it with moneys, which were invested, occording to our informators, in enlarging the Navy and upgrading the existing one.

Mars and Italy: can we be friend?
Today Martians and Italian ships are meeting in the Italian Base on New Firenze on the Moon, the Martians have proposed Italy a "mutual amiliability" which shoud be a very strong non-aggression pact... almost like an alliance!
Emperor Giovanni Del Vino who went personally to deal with the Martian embassador, said "Friendship with Mars would be great! But due to our conflictual past and your recent "not-very-clear going on" with Martian Colonist, we can not agree at such a deal, but, we would like to sign a normal non-aggression pact... It will be the first step... toward a new great friendship with a great nation".
