From China, to Paris:
Hey France. Could you invade Europe and make a border connection with Russia? If you do we'll give you some money.

To the World:
The previous comment was not authorised by the Chinese government! The person who made it will be reeducated.

Germany

After the surprise dissolution of the entire Cabinet by Chancellor Edmund Stoiber last month, all media have been nationalized. The federal states have been dissolved and the old kingdom borders have been reinstated.

During the past two weeks more than 5.5 million foreigners were expelled, protests by human rigths activists were crushed by the military. A general feeling of fear mixes with a new found nationalism, while Germany officially left the European Union. With both France and Germany out of the EU, the Union collapsed, leaving the continent in disorder, insecurity and vulnerable.

Meanwhile all German people are being checked for their suitability for military service. Almost 4 million men and women are drafted into the army, renamed from "Bundeswehr" to "Deutscharmee".

From Germany to France

We have enough of your arrogant attitude towards us. We are fed up with your insults and calumnies. This is the final warning: Publically correct your lies concerning us!

We are awaiting indemnities for the damage our reputation has taken due to your unbacked insults and reports. We´d take Elsaß-Lothringen (Alsace-Lorraine) or annual money gifts worth several billion Euros.

From Germany to Russia (secret)

Greetings! Now that our government has finally managed to get rid of its decellerating organs (the parliament

) we are able to follow our people´s interests much more efficiently. We´d like to invite you into a formal alliance to share the riches that may be earned by cooperation in international affairs...

From Germany to Poland (secret)

We hereby revoke the recognition of the Polish-German borderline. We insist in the return to the borders of 1914. The deadline is the year 2009. We will work on a compensation for the territory losses you will suffer, since it wasn´t your people´s fault. Maybe your future lies to the south? We´d be willing to help you get what you like in exchange for the original German territories you kept for us.

foolish_icarus · February 21, 2004, 13:58

Russia to Germany (SECRET) :

What would a tactical alliance entail? We're all for trade relations, as between the two of us we have almost all the manpower, resources, technical expertise, and infrastructure to dominate the region's markets.

Russia to Belarus:

Europe is destabilized from the recent EU breakup and your country is poor. We are rich and powerful. You should join the Russian Federation, it will be good for both of us!

Sell stuff abroad, encourage expansion of product and service sectors through grants and loans. Increase education availability and reduce crime in the country's cities.

mrmitchell · February 21, 2004, 14:16

To Belgium (Secret)
You notice how Germany is becoming overpowered again. We request an alliance to hold them in.

To Russia (Secret)
If Germany contacts you in hopes for alliance, do not fall for their deceptions. They are filled with greed and desire the whole of Europe.

To Germany
We have cancelled our campaign due to budgetary concerns. Any more reports of German atrocities are only attributable to the free press in France, and not towards the King.

Orders:
France openly accepts all refugees from Germany, and its army continues training. French factories have been ordered to increase production.

Micha · February 21, 2004, 14:45

From Germany to France

We don´t want you to whine about you´re budget, we want you to publically state how false your accusations were, and how it was just used to redirect public interest from internal problems to something else.

News
The right wing government in Austria today congratulated Chancellor Stoiber on his recent policy. It seems as if both countries are now closer than ever. The German press (now state-controlled) has published several Austrian-German friendship issues, and the Austrian territories are included in German weather forecasts and news reports.

Meanwhile the hotels in Frankfurt/Main and the Ruhr area are experiencing a flood of guests, since the strong and pro-national policy has encouraged many thousands of exile-Germans to return home. About 35,000 people were arriving from the United states, additional 20,000 from Namibia and South Africa.

Chancellor Stoiber has also visited a rally of German expellees, making a speech stating that their concerns will be listened to by the government. This speech led to standing ovations for almost half an hour and a huge mass demonstration for the return of the eastern territories to Germany.

As a result, discontent has dropped by 6 to now 44.

mrmitchell · February 21, 2004, 15:41

To Germany
Those responsible for the incident have been dealt with appropriately. They will not be publishing news again.

We have no internal problems.

Nubclear · February 21, 2004, 15:50

To Germany: Why do you attempt to destablize Europe?
To France: We would like to set up military bases, for we cannot let the French government fall.

mrmitchell · February 21, 2004, 16:01

To China
Of course. We will allow you to set up a base.

Nubclear · February 21, 2004, 16:02

The the World:
The French Republic is now under the protection of the glorious People's Republic of China! Any attack on any French holdings will be constituted as a declaration of war against China!

Orders: Set up military base in France!

Micha · February 21, 2004, 16:13

From Germany to China

We don´t want to destabilize Europe. The French did so, as they were disrupting our peaceful relations with hair-raising lies they broadcasted via their mass media. All we demand is a compensation for the immense damage done to our national image and pride. We demand a public apology by their king.

Why do you interfere with European matters? What is your purpose in France? Do you want to set up a puppet regime there to serve your hunger for might and power? Is this the reward for the thousands of millions we have invested into the buildup of your country? Your recent actions are a disgrace to your old civilization. Keep to your own concerns, as we will keep to ours.

Nubclear · February 21, 2004, 16:52

From China to Germany
Indeed the world is our concern now, for we have become a major power, and we will not sit idly by while Germany prepared to strike at France.
We now demand an apology from your nation regarding the insult against China! You have done much damage to our national image and pride!

Nubclear · February 21, 2004, 17:27

China has decided nt to send troops, and instead puts troops on the Russian border.

OFFICIAL APOLOGY by KING MRMITCHELL I

Hello, citizens of France, and, the world. I am glad to be able to address you today.

I am sorry that Germany is so easily offended.

Thank you.

France must now apologize to China.

From Germany to France

We are glad to see you admitting your faults. However, this public address is aimed against us... again...
One could think that your king is looking forward to a war, but then this would be foolish.

From Germany to World

As recent roumors have been predicting a third war originating from German ground, the Chancellor wants to clear this misunderstanding once and for all:
"We will not, in any way, start a war about meaningless ideals again. Europe has seen too much of violence, as Germany did.
However we cannot simply ignore the ongoing insults by France, as they hurt our people and my job is to protect them.
Our analysts have found the origin of the recent French behaviour in the incompetency of their "monarch", and the exaggerated opinion of the French military, based upon their history.
The only way we see to regain peace in Europe is the return of Elsaß-Lothringen from the French occupators to the true owners, the German people. With this gesture of goodwill and friendship we would be willing to burry all quarrels between our peoples and finally establish a peaceful cooperation again."

broadcasting hacked by French spies in Germany!!!
We are a special agents group of King mrmitchell I. and we have managed to copy a secret German map of future claims! They talk of peace but they are lying!!! Here´s the document:

The world must act now, before it´s...
end of transmission

This incident was inscenated by the French king! He still tries to destroy our international reputation! It´s all lies! We have no such claims!!!

China to Germany:

Naughty!

foolish_icarus · February 21, 2004, 20:52

What? No Sudedenland?

Russia has mobilized its military and placed forces near the Chinese border.

Russia to China:

We are very disturbed by how agressive your actions have been lately. Both of us want to avoid armed conflict, so we suggest a permanent treaty and a DMZ around our borders.

mrmitchell · February 21, 2004, 22:00

To China
It is not worth it to go to war with Russia. Do not waste your time, all they can give you is barren ice-covered land and snow.

To Germany
The insinuation that we would plant spies in Germany is ridiculous. King Mrmitchell I has never had a governmental spy organization during his reign, and everyone knows that hacking a broadcast is punishable by death in France.

Orders:
French army continues training. Propoganda machine (pro-France only) reinitiated--Dissent falls by 5, but Education falls by 1. The "Produce more or we'll put your head on a pike" campaign is also working. French productivity and working hours has risen across the nation, but the Economy does not improve because it's mostly going to the army. Some of it just disappears from official records, however. Where does it all go?

Nubclear · February 21, 2004, 22:04

The Chinese government would like to announce that modernization is completed!

CHINA to RUSSIA:
Your wrong. We'd like nothing better than to invade you Russian dogs, and we could easily do such a thing.
But we will hold off and give you a chance to tive us everything east of the Urals.

CHINA to FRANCE:
On the contrary: They can give us much oil!

mrmitchell · February 21, 2004, 22:06

Events in the World
Plagues and famines have caused a huge death toll in Africa. Regional and civil wars there have stopped due to the lack of people that can fight.

In South America, Bolivia invaded Chile. But Chile responded by marching on La Paz. As a result, Bolivia is now free again, but its government was installed with Chilean interests in mind.

The USA and Canada have pledged to stay neutral if Europe falls into conflict.

Oil prices have reached an all-time high, as some existing wells' production was poor this month and wealthy oil tycoons decided to cut production in other areas. Some economists urge that action be taken to reopen drilling in areas where it has been stopped or banned.

Paris News
Editorial

---

Only eight short but seemingly endlessly long years ago, France and Germany were both considerable wealthy industrialised world powers. So was the United States, and many other countries in the Americas and Europe.

Things have changed. Mismanagement and bungling by former governments in both France and Germany caused our economies to depress. Global economic conditions were made worse when Bush's policies led the nation to the greatest depression since the 1930's. Nations of east Asia--notably Japan and Korea, that were once rich, disintegrated. Eventually many world currencies collapsed.

But what made China so special? Its leaders were smart enough to foresee the crisis. And they insured themself against disaster. Sure, the Chinese worker does not enjoy so many freedoms as the American or French worker does. But he does not have to worry about food on the table. He knows that when he goes home, he can eat with his family, and have leftovers, too! He doesn't worry about going hungry. And when he's not working or doing other necessary parts of life, he has more time than ever before for a person in China for leisure.

And what of other nations? The American worker doesn't work. He cannot feed his family at all. At best, he uses all of his time to fulfill requirements at one or more mediocore, dead-end jobs that can't pay his expenses, no matter how much he cuts from his budget. And then the taxes come. He will never be able to pay the taxes. The government must keep them so high because of the crushing debt burden it is under, and because of its ever-rising obligations.

France has fared better than America. "The bigger you are, the harder you fall," they say. But it envies its friends to the northwest--Germany. German citizens need not worry about their jobs, just like the Chinese. They have to work a lot harder, but they also can feed their children. And the German government is particularly stable, even as it transitions to dictatorship.

We will have a tough road ahead if our relations fall to war. Conflict must be avoided, at any cost to the King.

In addition, hopefully China will come to its senses and NOT declare war on Russia. They have little to gain, and you never know. This one could be the spark that sets off the entire world into war.

CHINA to RUSSIA:
The Russian military is too small and backwards for a military advisory council.
We will erect a fence to seperate Russia and China. It will have sensors, so any Russian deception will be detected.
Specialized roads will monitor any trade that China may wish to engage into.
