After 1000 years at sea, the great British hero has returned to his home in Europe. Leaving France in 280 AD, Sir Francis Drake set off on the most ambitious

journey the world had ever seen. His travels and adventures are now the stuff of legend. He began his journey on the Golden Hinde with Hernan Cortez, transporting him to the New World for his campaign of conquest against the natives there. Getting embroiled in the British-Tartar war, Drake led the British to victory in the Battle of Williamville, sinking the Tartar ship off the coast of Florida. Shortly thereafter was the unfortunate naval accident where a Serb helmsman fell asleep at the wheel and plowed right into the Golden Hinde killing all Serbs on board. Drake continued around the colonies and deposited Cortez at the mouth of the Mississippi to begin his assault on the Cherokee.

Drake sailed south to the southern tip of North America where he founded the colony of Panama. Exploring overland a bit, Drake discovered the Pacific ocean, across the narrow ithimus of Panama. Seeking to save time, Drake and his crew disassembled the Golden Hinde, trekked it across Panama and reassembled it in the Pacific. From there Drake followed the coast north, exploring Mexico and California before turning west again. After moving west he discovered the island of Hawaii. A great place for a settlement, but alas the Azande had already established a colony there. Drake resupplied the Hinde and took off south west.

After some time in the vast Pacific ocean, Drake and his crew reached the East Indies. In 820 AD, Drake founded the British colony of New Guinea. Damaged from a long time at sea and still the battles in America, Drake took some time to fix the ship and rest the crew. Everyone was glad for some down time after 540 years at sea. The crew grew quite cozy with the native women, but after the ship was fully repaired it was time to set out once more. Drake guided the ship west through the rest of the East Indies. Upon encountering the great Indian ocean, the crew headed south west once more. Stopping at various Azande island kingdoms to resupply. Finally they reached the dark continent itself. As the rounded the cape, all the crew once again grew hopeful for the success of their journey, and began thinking of returning to their lives back in jolly old England. They named it the Cape of Good Hope.

The rest of the journey home relied on charts and maps known to the British for centuries, so there was little opportunity for discovery. But at long last their trip north along the coast of Africa was over and for the first time in a millenium they glimpsed the shore of Spain. At last they were home in their lovely European continent. The short trip from there to London was a very happy moment. No longer alone, dozens of ships followed closely. Shouting howls of joy and excitment they had at last returned. Everyone with a rowboat in Spain, France and England was eager to be among the first to welcome the Golden Hinde back.

Once back in London, they attended the biggest hero's welcome the world had ever seen. A crowd of a million British citizens gathered in London to see their heros. People traveled from all over Europe and America to be at the celebration. The tickertape from the parade clogged the streets a foot deep.

The governors of Panama and New Guinea were present, and announced their plans to rename their respective colonies after the great sea captain responsible for their founding.

President Napoleon announced the minting of a new coin honoring the voyage. The half penny coin will feature Sir Francis Drake on the front, and the Golden Hinde on the back.

Becoming a bigger national hero than even Sir Hernan Cortez, Drake made a fortune in endorsements.

The Voyage

Rasputin · January 11, 2004, 01:09

The Platoon leader looked down the hill across the valley. His platoon were on the last day of their three week training camp. After this last training exercise they would be sent to the Americas for 4 weeks of R & R.

As the platoon leader studied his troops moving donw the hilslide he thought he saw sometihng out of the corner of his eye. He rpeositioned himeself to look more in the direction he thoguht it came from, but could see nothing. He glanced across the fields again and then raised his hand to give the order to group together for the final charge on the mock vilalge below.

As he stood he heard a whistlign sound and a searing pain entered his chest. He looked down and saw blood gushing from a wound on his left side. As he slowly fell to his knees he saw armed men running from the left firing onto his exposed troops below. Something had gone terribly wrong, but there was nothing he could do now as he slipped slowly into darkness.

Report from Corporal Andy Holding... Chief Scribe of the Egyptians

To whom it may concern.

I do write this report as i have been instructed to do so by Emporer PEter Pan.

Internal political Struggles have continued, but most of the enemies of the state have now been removed by death or imprisonment.

The past few hundred years have seen the conitnued construction of the Great Raz Highway to the east and North.

Irrigation work within Africa has been stepped up and many new farms are planned to take advantage of the new irrigation schemes.

Egyptian scientists have continued invstigating ways of protecting our borders better and the latest discovey of Tanks has led to many new divisions of mobile military.

The tartars continue to harress our Eastern citys but we beleive this may end once elections are held in Tartardom and the current Arty Intellis Leader of the Fascist Regime is remvoed.

To prevent any chance of Tartars under Arty Intelis leading a surprise attack, new forts will be set up in the East and North East to prevent any unauthorised access to the mid east.

Whilst Egypt is still the smallest nation in the world, we have respect from many of our neighbours,

So ends this latest report ........

Many people came to the training grounds to investigate the cause of the loss of so many young lives. From the forensic evidence found at the site it was soon clear that some foreign agency was behind the attack. Foreign cigarette butts were discovered in the bushes where the assasins lay in wait. Tracks leading back to the main road were clearly made by vehicles that no Egyptian had ever seen before. The Egyptian Secret Service were handed the case and ordered to spare no asset in search of the guilty. The lives of 30 of Egypts finest new recruits had been lost this day and the treachourous act would not go unpunished.

Rumours abounded of the source of the support of the rebels but till proof existed no official reports would be made .....

Gentleman, I understand Raz needs a sub for tonight and we were missing Frank and Winzity last week. I think it unwise to continue with ai's in control of any civs, it's bad enough with subs who don't understand the owner's intentions.

Locked inside a top security prison, Slobodan Milosevic, leader of NSDAP, used the time to write the political program of his party that he as leader and his followers will strive to fulfil in the coming years. He put together his thoughts and ideas in a strange melodramatic book he named “Moja Borba”. In this book he described vividly why he considered the Azadine a lower race, actually the lowest race of the humankind, possibly not so different from animals. They are mean by nature. Their only principles are money grabbing and extortion. The only language they speak and understand is the sound of guns. They have agents inside every other nation, spinning the webs of deceit, slowly increasing their grip on every aspect of life, slowly but if left unchecked, irrevocably corrupting the other free and progressive nations, slowly but surely strangling the freedom of better men.

Yes, Serbs have for far too long tolerated Azadine crimes against the mankind. It’s time the upper races, the Serbs and the English, stand up against this plague and give the Azadine lowlifes a taste of their own medicine. Serbia must stand up and take back what is taken from her.

The book details a number of things, among them the expected borders of Greater Serbia. In addition to all lands belonging to Serbia before the war with Azadine, Serbia should also include entire Siberia (Drang nach Osten), the Holy Land (our Lord Christ was killed by Azadine), free Kosovo, North Africa (Mare Nostrum) and South America (Lebensraum). It is expected that the Egyptians should be compensated for their losses according to this plan with Azadine possessions in Africa. After all, this state is an abomination.
The Final Solution of the Azadine Problem would be achieved by deporting all of them to the island of Madagascar according to the last chapter of the book.

This book was instant success. A bestseller in Serbia and United States of Britain. It is probably better known by the name of its English edition – Mein Kampf.

The number of Nazi MPs grew steadily over time. They were insignificant still, numbering only 25 out of 250, but have grown greatly from the only one MP they had after the second elections. New elections were coming and the prospects for democratic parties were grim – a relative Nazi victory was expected. Not enough to form a government, but none of the democratic parties could do it on their own either. The party of Dr. Markovic which held the majority throughout this period concerned with the reports that the popularity of NSDAP is rising decided to do the unprecedented thing. They granted votes to Serbian women. It was expected that the women in Serbia would vote for the party that gave them equal rights. At least first time they would.

And with this act of Universal Suffrage the government of Dr. Markovic bought another term in office.

A brand new scientific theory is formulated in elite circles of Serbian scientists and researchers. It’s called Atomic Theory and deals with the structure of matter. The name comes from the old scripts of the Serbian philosopher Rudjer Boskovic who first formulated the idea that the matter consists of basic, homogenous and indivisible particles he dubbed atoms.

This new theory teaches however that not only these atoms aren’t homogenous, but that they are also neither basic nor indivisible. One Albert Einstein a physicist of English decent working at the University of Charles Darwin formulated this theory and he expects the discovery will lead to many wonders, some of which are for the good of the mankind while the others will bring the destruction and much suffering.

One of Albert Einstein’s initial drawings.

the vision of the past disturbed the emporer, he had become the third emporer so troubled by visions so horrendous....

tall man and fatboy were the names running through his head......

Rasputin · January 18, 2004, 00:57

Out of the shadows strode a tall man, he woe the clothes of the local farmers but his hands and face gave away he was not from around these parts. He had the hands and face of one more used to indoor work than the hard farm life of the Egyoptian desert.

He walked over to where he saw a group of three others sitting in the corner praying to the Statue of The Great Raz. He smiled as he thought of their blind faith and how he could use it to hisd advantage. He quickly changed expressions as one of the trio looked up and asaw him approach.

Rahoul: "Greetings Muhummed" He greeted the the first man.

Muhammed: " The Grea Raz Bless you and your family Rahoul. "

The two men hugged and then Rahoul turned to the others.

Rahoul" Who are these two Muhummed?"

Muhammed " Ahh this is my cousin Saddam, and my daughter Helen."

The two others also hugged Rahoul and greeted him in the traditional Razlamic way.

Rahoul" Ahh your beauty exceeds all reports Helen, I am so glad to meet your aquiantence, " he smiled and kisses her hand " Hopefully we wil lbe able to work together"

Helen turned away , careful not to show too much emotion, the hatred she felt for this man.

For she knew who he worked for, the most powerful family in Egypt, the Sadats. But her father had business so she would behave, but she knew this man would die befroe the day was out.

Rasputin · January 18, 2004, 01:14

In a village near the ancient southern Nile city , a boy was beaten by his brothers for being lazy, this boy did then go stea lmoney from his father and hired a gang to kill to his brothers. The father then did confront the boy but the boy did then kill the father in cold bloood by slashing his throut.

The local vilalgers expelled the boy and he headed to the larger city at the mouth of the nile. There he did find room and board and a job working for a local pig farm. The boys name was Arron Sadat. He worked hard but continued his murderous ways, by the time he was 18 he had killed over 40 people and had a sizable business including owning the pig farmers farm.

He married the local crime lords daughter and by his death he had became the head of all crime and corruption in greater egypt.

His children divided hios estate and some was soon squandered, but his son , Juhad , continuued thae family tradition.

OVer the years each genration expanded the worth of the family, but also improved their reputation in the public eyes, by becoming more legitamate, but always behind the scenes , the "black sheep" of the family maintained a small army for enforcing the families wishes.

In the dark ages the Sadats were unofficially recognised as the main power behind the Razlamic Faith and therefore the nation itself.

When Razlam was no longer the enforced relgion in the country, the people slowly drifted further away from the ideals of the Sadat family. But the Sadts modernised and got themsleves their reltations voted into the Senate.

Now in the modern era, the Sadats had influence in many areas, and one area they needed altering was the removal of the Emporer and installation of their own government.

Rasputin · January 18, 2004, 01:31

A sole Razlamic Priest strode into the Emporers quarters and shot him point blank between the eyes. After shooting him he palced the Razlamic faiths demands on the emporers desk and pinned the razlamic map on the emporers chest.

The unholy alliance between big business and the government continues to expand under the eye of USB President George W. Bush. The manufacturing and energy sectors are receiving a special amount of interest from the great leader. Government subsidies are at an all time high.

Because of his ties to the oil drilling industry, firms such as Haliburton have been called upon to begin a massive expansion of off shore oil platforms. Everywhere from the North Sea, to the Gulf of Texas is seeing the welcome presence of these monsters. WIth the lessening reliance of foreign oil, most importantly from the middle east, the USB economy is booming. Taxes continue to flow into the nation's coffers at an unprecedented pace, and production is now at this highest levels in human history.

The Bush administration has led to a massive increase in jobs and production. Over 460 Mega Tonnes of factory output is estimated for USB. However the union between corporate Britain and the Bush Presidency has given rise to many critics of the administration. Is President Bush in bed with the big corporations? And what consequences will this have for the USB way of life? Only time will tell.

War rages in central asia. Supreme leader, Akmad Intoep has put Tartardom on a war footing and is embroiled in seperate wars involving the Egyptians in the south and the Chinese in the east. Losses appear to be heavy on both sides, but Tartardom is suffering the brunt of fatalities. Territory has been lost.

USB proposes the creation of a world body to work out difference between nations in a peaceful manner without resorting to warfare. Preliminary discussions regarding a "United Nations" have begun in New York.

Rasputin · January 18, 2004, 02:53

Rahoul : "Ok Muhummed we need you to call a meeting of all the Razlamic priests, we want you to call for a Jihad agaisnt the oppresoors on our borders and withing our claiemd territorys."

Muhummed " True true Rahoul, the Razlamics muchly appreciate your familys honourable gift to the church. We appreciate also the depth of your feelings, as always the church will be your faithful ally." He turned to his cousin Saddam. "Saddam here will personally become the New High Priest and we will soon have full control of the people again "

Rahoul smiled, yes, these people would be very useful.

Rahoul: " Well we udnerstand each other well Muhummed, I will see you again in the morning"

He turned to go but as he stepped past Helen , she reached behind her and from a nook behind the statue of the Great Raz, she pulled a pistol and shot Rahoul,, her father and her cousin.

Crying to herself she knelt before the alter and prayed.

Helen : " For yu oh Great Raz I have done this as per your request. no longer shall Egypt be held hostage by its own people, the end of the Sadats is at hand."

The Statue appeared to move and a smile broke forth on its face. A voice from within the statue spoke

The Great RAZ " I am returing for the end of all, the end is nigh, only my people will survive, the aliens amonsgt us will be destroyed. Arise my daughter, for you have been of good service, I will send you my faithful servant to be your husband and he will be emporer of egypt till the end comes, he will be the last emporer ever."

Helen fell down and worshipped.

Smoke filled the temple. And then Helen saw thorugh the smoke a man approaching her and he was s miling .

Many in Bush cabinet angered over Egyptian blockade of Mediterranian, a sea with great importance historically to the British. Together with hostile enemy movements, Bush advisors Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Rice discuss possible counter measures.

After learning of advanced espionage being carried out by Egyptians, USB Attorney General John Ashcroft gains passage of the PATRIOT ACT to crack down on Egyptian spies and sabatours in the USB.

Rasputin · January 18, 2004, 03:31

Ambassadros all over Europe and the Americas were expelled last night in a very antogonsitic move from the USB. All Embassys were closed and all Egyptian citizens were boarded on the next departing ship to Home lands.

With no emporer in power the Senate in hiding and the Razslamic Priests proclaiming the end of the world, Egypt was in dissaray, and no action ccould be taken ,,,,,

National Security Advisor, Condolezza Rice makes public the following statement from Razlamic extremists:

"Ok Muhummed we need you to call a meeting of all the Razlamic priests, we want you to call for a Jihad agaisnt the oppresoors on our borders and withing our claiemd territorys."

Poor spelling indicative of uneducated Razlamics. President Bush authorizes an information gathering mission in the Razlamic hotbed of the Carribean.

Gun shots rang out as the military analyst investigasted the shooting grounds ion the old military barracks. It was here only a few short months ago that foriegn backed terrorists had laid ambush to the trainee recruits of the Egyptian military.

Northern Campaign of Mao Se Tung
The Chinese nation had been set adrift. The liberial democracy was collapsed by a reigeme that became to be known for its shortsightedness. They kept control of Beijing well, all the the outlying land were lawless, and were full of corrupt officals who were not kept in line or respected rule of law.

From this chaos emerged Mao. Leading a small group of rifleman in the northern town of Ulan Bator, he raided the state capitol building and burned it to the ground. Republican losses were heavy, and the assault spurred others across the empire to revolt. Many years past before the Republicans could be driven back. In the end the military retained control of the government, and a popular general from the south, General Dangime came to power. He immediately appointed Mao his assault commander, and Lord-Yamamoto from Japan his naval commander.

Industry was put back in line as off shore lines modernized production from the Gulf of Japan to the South China Sea. Barracks were produced to keep the infantry better equiped than the era were Republican infantry were overwhelmed by better trained Nationalist Riflemen. Armor was brought into use for the first time. The production had just begun when they were called into action.

Tartar forces wanted to pick a fight over the anicent fortress of Bator Hill. They claimed that the fort was too close to their settlement of Eastness, and assaulted the fortress, but much to their dismay, Chinese armor had already arrived at the fort, and smashed their collumns as they attempted to scale the steep slopes of the fortress and surrounding defenses barriers. The counter attack was swift, leaving Eastness a souless place that will never regain its former glory, as a mere look out post for future assaults. But that was not the end of the Tartar threat.

Far to the west, in the desert outposts of the great sands, laid a small town and a large garrison of nationalist troops. They were betrayed by their commander to the Tartars for a large sum of gold, who lead them into a trap. Cut off from supplies most died in the desert or charging enemy enplacements, no longer able to withstand the heat of the sun. General Mao was able to bring the enemy under control, but only with the full force of the Chinese Armored Brigade. Mao personally executed the betrayer, saying we must all remain vigiant to stay off the days of the corrupt republicans, this is just one example.

Mean while, in the eastern industrial centers, mammoth creations were unfolding. A hull measured in feet rather an inches in thickness. 14 rifled artillery guns, 18 inches in diameter, capable of launching explosive shells 30 miles. A steel beast capable of smashing entire cities. It was the NCV-Akanguhgua, and Dangime-sama himself was heading to the Port Facility to christen it personally..........
