OOC: Lets get busy!
--------------

Pretoria, South Africa

"Mbeki has failed in his promis to make the streets safe, he has has failed in his promise to create jobs for the Black South African. We elect the African National Congress to crusade for the Black man, we elect them so we can have a good standard of living. What do we get, corruption, unemployment, crime, and even more poverty, this must stop!"
The roar of the crowd was defeaning, they all agreed and yet not one knew how to solve South Africa's problems, except the man speaking.
"We need to stop our leaders from trying to please both the Black majority and the white minority. It cannot work and so the white's need to live with the fact that it is not their country anymore and that they do not control us, nor can they! With me as the new leader I promise jobs, and I know how to get them. It so simple, yet the current regime doesn't have the ability to implement it. I will mobilize this nations poor and its unemployed and I will put them to work on giant Keynsian projects designed to modernize this nation and bring it up to first world standards!"
The applause was once again defeaning as the his supporters cheered him on he chose the moment to begin his rise to power.
To the government house, we must seize power before the current regime does anymore damage!"

Russian News
State of the Union Speech
We promise economic reforms and improvements in our political system which is the foundation to a new Russia. Reforms that were not stressed by President Boris Yeltsin... he was the traitor to Russia, by pushing it back for his own corrupt game. But there is a new era approaching, a new era for a future of all Russians. This new future will not involve communism but true honest democracy which will give Russia another chance at a SuperPower status. I and my adminstration promise you today, the Russian People, that reforms will occur and you will have better life quality.
After a 2 hour speech debating which should occur the President discussed which should be done in Russia, reforms in health which will occur over two years, reforms in education, reforms in the economy, reforms in politics, and improvement in the military all with Freedom and greater security to Russians.

Tensions Rise Again in Chechyna
Tensions have rose again in the breakaway republic of Chechyna where rebel fighters have battled Russian Republic Troops fighting for the best of Russia. These fights have been victorious on the Russian Side, since the new President came to the troops himself and encouraged them to try their hardest and better will come to them. One report claims the Rebels have sustained up to 400 losses in one battle, while the Russians lost 27... nearly 200 MiGs of various types flew over Chechyna searching for rebel sites, but it isn't easy. Rebels have hideouts in basements in civilian buildings and it is nearly impossible to find them.

We will not let the economically important province of Dagestan/Chechyna gain indepedence. It will just not happen because it is the future of Russia, mining is a key point, and there are many oil lines running through this area. We will protect the Chechyna People the best we can...
-President of the New Republic of Russia

Our new nation (new government actually) will be called New Russian Republic and will work on the peoples side. We Request Peace Treaties with France, South Africa and other nations...

The Oceanian government wishes to express their condolances to the English government for the loss of their beloved Prime Minister. In the spirit of friendship, we will send a military delegation to his funeral and present an Australian flag to his family.

The Oceanian parliament has passed a bill allowing for the expansion of the Australian military in lieu of worldwide buildups and unifications. Funding has been allotted for the construction of a new naval flotilla, the recruitment of new troops, the assembly of new tanks, artillery and APC's and the assembly of several squadrons of new jet fighters and the purchase of a bomber force from the USA. Furthermore, in anticipation of an invasion from the north, old WW2 fixed batteries are being reconditioned and rebuilt around the cities of Darwin and Cairns to protect the cities in case of attack.

To England: We are sincerely sorry for the loss of your Prime Minister and we offer our heartfelt condolences. We also wish to offer you an increased alliance plan, we allow you to station British troops on Oceanian soil, in bases on Papua New Guniea and the northern Australian coast.

To USA: We welcome you into the world sphere, and we wish to sign an alliance with your nation. Also, our Parliament has passed a funding bill which would allow for the purchase of 2 squadrons of B-52 bombers from your nation should you agree. If not, we will use the money for another cause.

France mourns the loss of a great man. The French delegation to the funeral will be led by Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. Our deepest condolences.

The power struggle in the top of the Chinese government appears to have ended, with favorable results for the West.
Former Admiral Sun Ji-Guoming, the man that many consider to have been China's best naval commander in history, has taken up the reins of power that were left with the death of the former Prime Minister.
Ji-Guoming is taking over at a crucial point in Chinese history. As the PRC makes a grab for superpower status in the 21st century, she will become a major player in the community of nations. Western educated, Ji-Guoming is well positioned to lead China at this time.
Ji-Guomings politics are also western friendly. He has always advocated closer ties with the west, and now is expected to open up China to the west.
In a stunning first move, Ji-Guoming has invited the Dalai Lahma to Beijing to discuss the status of Tibet, and also delegates fromTaiwan and the US to discuss the future of that province.

Also, Sun Ji-Guoming expresses his sympathis to the British people over the loss of Tony Blair, and declares all flags in Hong Kong to be flown at half staff.

CNN - Pretoria

Chaos interupted a peaceful session of parliament today as protesters spilled onto the streets complaining of poverty and crime. The leader of these protests a Canadian born South African raised Black named Bolo Tarmagin has called for the arrest of the corrupt regime and the formation of a new government with him in power. He has called the government of Mbeki, Nelson Mendela's heir to the ANC corrupt and authoritarian who cares more about his own bank acount than South Africa. "I am tired of seeing African nations turned into horrid places because the leaders cannot handle power responsibly. This must be stopped, the corruption, the crime, the violence must end and I am the only one that can do it."
As the protesters got closer to government house the army was called in to protect the Mbeki regime from being overthrown. But they refused, many empathized with Tarmagin and were disgruntled at the turn of events. The government of Mbeki fell, and Tarmagin has taken power, the Judicial branch has come behind him and the legislative branch has been silent.
-------------------

Two days later
"Do you Bolo Tarmagin, promise to uphold the ideals set forth in the constitution to serve the state and her people?"
"I do."
The ceremony lasted less than thirty minutes before Bolo Tarmagin was officially sworn in as President.
Tarmagin had this to say.

quote: In the coming months and years you will work hard, maybe harder than you ever have before. South Africa has been looted, not as bad as Russia but certainly enough. Some of the measures I will be passing may seem harsh but in the end South Africa will benefit. The people of this nation demand jobs, and they demand security, less crime. This can be solved this can all be solved, though it may take time and effort we can turn this nation arouind and make it the power it deserves to be.

Dispatches from the Office of the Secretary of State

To Great Britain:
The United States sends its sincere condolences upon the unfortunate death of your Prime Minister. Tony Blair was truly a man with a great vision to help the British people.

To Australia:
We accept your alliance offer, but regretably, we cannot sell you any military equipment at this time.

To China:
We shall be glad to attend talks concerning the future of Taiwan after your new government has proved its commitment to obeying international human rights laws. Until we can be certain of the peaceful and pro-human rights nature of your new regime, we will be withholding most favored trading nation status for your nation.

To the Members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization:
The United States proposes that we have a meeting to discuss the current global situation and our goals for NATO.

[Scott F]

With the support of the Congress, the President has ordered that existing military prjects be carried forward to completion with great expediency. Existing orders for warships and auxilaries are to be filled ahead of schedule with the greatest possible speed.

Congress has voted to approve a large military spending package to revitalize and improve the United States military. A large chunk of the funding provided by the bill was allocated to so-called "black" projects. Rumors on the projects vary greatly, from stealth warships, advanced submarines, new warplanes, land weapons, and even advanced flying craft.

The Secretary of Defense refused to comment on many of the bill's provisions, but did confirm that funding was provided for:

• The replacement or upgrade of all M1 and M1A1 tanks in the United States military to M1A2 standard over the new year and a half.
• The construction of numnerous stealth warplanes, inlcuding F-117s, F-22s, F-23s, and B-2s.
• The continuation of research on a new stealth bomber with global strike capacity.
• And the accelerated construction of submarines and warships to join the United States navy.

New election polls show that it is very likely that George W. Bush will be the next President of the United States, ending the Clinton era once and for all.

Political Prisoners Freed

As Sun Ji-Guoming consolidates his power, more and more political dissidents find themselves freed from prison. In a massuve ralley in Tianamen Square, the Prime Minister spoke out against the evil that regimines before him had done.

"People of China, fear no more. Never again will tanksroll through this square. Never again will Chin reaise her hand against he people." The cheers rang throughout the Forbidden City.

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

But all was not well. In a darkened room, away from Tianamen Square, several old government officials were meeting.

"We must stop Ji-Guoming from ruining the dreams of Mao."

In the back, one of the servants took note of the whipered conversation.
