China, India continue their war with no clear victor
This battle really has 2 sides - the propaganda, and the actual military action. Both sides let the
propaganda flow, we have reports of China lambasting the Indians for their Genocide, and
calling India a great enemy, and promising a crusade to bring down this Indian tyrant.
Meanwhile, India has started a massive anti-China propaganda campaign, and have done an
amazing job of uniting the Indian people to stop the Chinese invasion. The last, and most
effective form of propaganda was China sending in several bombers loaded with Indian
Currency, and dropping this currency over parts of India. This has been very successful, and
caused the Indian economy to drop an eco level, with the massive influx of currency. The Indian
Central Bank has been responding, however, withdrawing currency from the market to stabilize
the economy once again, and this has helped to alleviate the problem somewhat. The Military
campaigns have had mixed results, however. In a surprising move, the Chinese forces were
found to be withdrawing from the part of Indian that they had invaded, but Indian troops
surprised them by sending 2 large armies to pincer them as they left. Clearly, the Indians were
hoping to surround the Chinese troops, cut off their supply lines, and advance inwards, and
slaughter them. This did not happen, and Indian troops gleefully rushed into the void left by the
Chinese troops, believing them to be surrendering. This was not the case, unfortunately for the
Indian troops, who fell right into traps that the Chinese had planted - large bombs in their former
fortifications. The losses on both sides have been large in this battle, Chinese losing many from
the Indian pincer attack, and India from the bombs. Indian fighters and bombers have been quite
successful in bombing Chinese military installations in China, targeting bridges, roads, and other
valuable infrastructure. China quickly caught onto the Indians ploy though, and several large
air battles ensued, with no clear victor. Lastly, in this war of attrition, China has attacked India,
and opened another front, this time in former Pakistan. They have sent a massive force which
blew right through the Indian defenses, and are marching into West Pakistan, chanting Free
Pakistan as they go. Indian troops have been largely unable to combat the Chinese troops. To
summarize this battle, it will be a war of attrition. Neither China nor India can win this war,
they can only hope to minimize the casualties by calling it quits eventually. The citizens of India
and China, especially India, as it is a Democracy, shall eventually tire of this constant slaughter,
and demand that their governments stop the war.

Chinas economy booms, establishes colony in Siberia!
China has established several more Special Economic Zones, which is helpings its already
flourishing economy boom. In another very surprising, very unexpected move, China has sent
millions of people up to Siberia, to colonize it, and to start exploiting the resources in this
resource-rich region. No reaction from the USSR Government yet, and we are as yet unsure if
the USSR can or will respond, as they are still a very shattered nation, from the horrific events of
17/62.
India faces intefadeh, among other, crises
In India, meanwhile, things are not quite so rosy. A new leader has been elected in India, and
the previous heads of the Military that committed and carried out the genocide against the
Muslims have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, in slightly questionable trials, but
India needed to appease their enraged Muslim population. India has appeased their Muslim
population further by offer reparations, and an apology, and this has caused the Hindu supporters
of the Muslims, and moderate Muslims to calm down, and stop their rioting, but in East and
West Pakistan, there is a much different story. A group, calling itself the Pakistani Freedom
group, led by a mysterious, and secretive Cleric Abdul, has started a vicious campaign of death
to free both East and West Pakistan from the Indians grip. Their campaign has been successful,
they are well-armed, and it is suspected that they are getting assistance from other nations to
carry out their attacks, and they have been successful is killing many Indian troops. The fact that
East and West Pakistan have been made semi-autonomous regions has emboldened the
attackers, the opposite effect that the Indian Government thought that would have. Clearly,
Muslims do not want to be part of Hindu-dominated India, and will fight for their independence.
India has also annexed Oman, for the Oil Resources, clearly, but the increased oil flow could not
stop their economy from dropping a level.
(-7,500 Indian troops)
Spain continues attacking, faces massive riots and unrest from Muslims
Spain has continued their empire-building, attacking and annexing Algeria, and Mauritania.
Spain has gained two more colonies, but, the recent words by the Pope of all non-Christians are
heathens, and must be killed. As our next story shall describe, this is causing Spain many
problems, with hundreds of non-Christians dead, and many tens of thousands fleeing the country,
mostly for South Africa, and elsewhere where they are not hunted down by mods. The Spanish
Police Forces have been arresting leaders of the Mobs, and demand that the Government either
order all non-Christians dead, or shut the Pope up, but not allow His Holiness to break Spanish
law like this. Problems shall arise if Spain does not act one way or another. Spain has also done
a very random and very massive bombing raid of Copenhagen, no word yet on what that was for,
but Copenhagen is mostly devastated. In northern Africa, meanwhile, Spain is facing many
challenges. They have massive numbers of troops there, but they are facing massive resistance
from locals in the predominantly Muslim nations that Spain has annexed, much of the land is in
anarchy, beset by wide-spread protests about being annexed by a foreign nation, and by being
annexed by a nation in which the Pope lives. Apparently, the Muslims in those nations associate
the Pope with Spain, and thus are attacking Spain for the Popes words. Spain has lost a fair
number of troops there, and will have to work at appeasing the Africans in those nations. All the
Christian Missionaries that Spain sent over have either been killed, or driven out. The worst
resistance is occurring in Algeria, Morocco, the Western Sahara, and Mauritania. In another
surprising move, Spain has also attacked and conquered most of Southern Germany. This has
been done in the name of re-uniting the Catholics, everywhere. Many see this as Franco
simply adding to his empire. Speaking of that Empire, Franco now has nearly 1 Million troops
in his army. This unusually high number of troops is starting to dampen his economy. Franco
must watch how many troops he has, otherwise, he will suffer economically for it. In the last 2
bits of information concerning Spain, they have expanded their holdings in Saudi Arabia, taking
part of Iraq, and had success with the Oil Fires, along with Argentina. Spain has also taken over
all of Norways Oil Rigs, which has caused Norway to protest, and threaten action if they dont
get their Oil Rigs back.
(-25,000 Spanish Troops, -5,000 Danish Troops)
Pope declares all non-Christians traitors, and orders their death!
His Holiness the Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, in a recent address in his nice big new
Cathedral in Barcelona, made a speech in which he declared that all non-Christians were
traitors, and urged Mobs to kill them. Well, that is exactly what happened. All across Spain,
there have been incidents of exactly as the Pope ordered, mobs killing non-Christians. Hundreds
have been killed, and many more have fled Spain, mostly heading to South Africa, but some
going to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. If this keeps up, many problems will arise for Spain.
The Pope also has been very actively converting people to Christianity, with a fairly high success
rate. The Pope is making 1 eco more per turn, as he has been collecting a 5% Church Tax
Argentina, SADETO, liberate Ecuador
With Argentina leading the pack, Ecuador has been liberated from the Colombia invaders. With
a massive army built up, and attacking, calmer heads in the Colombia Military decided to
withdraw their forces rather then have them all be killed. Some fire-fights did occur, and
tensions remain high in the region. Argentina has also been helping the Spanish put out the
Saudi Arabian and Kuwaiti Oil Fires, and now, along with the Spanish, have control of the
worlds largest reserve of oil. In Colombia, meanwhile, the protests at the Government about the
Martial law have grown, and mobs are rioting to demand answers as to why Colombia invaded.
If this keeps up, Colombia might have a hard time ever regaining control.
(-3,000 Colombia Troops, -1,000 Argentinian Troops)
Libya attacks and annexed Tunisia!
Libyan Leader Colonel Moammar Ghadaffi has attacked, invaded, and annexed Tunisia,
claiming that he is re-uniting Muslims against the evil Christians. Needless to say, he has got
Tunisia before the Spanish have, as the Spanish seem to be doing a great job of empire-building.
Science Update on the Nuclear Effects
And now we turn to our Science section. Scientists have been noticing that the tons of
radioactive dust that was hurtled into the atmosphere on 17/62, it is starting to settle, and come
back down to earth. But, scientists say that it will be very difficult, if not, impossible, to trace
where this comes down. They say that it will be totally random, and will affect only the earth,
likely not the ocean. They also say that this dust will be highly radioactive, and will take a long
time before the affected land can be useable again. But, in better news, scientists have said that
the threat of nuclear Winter is over, with the earths temperature increasing by a whole degree!
Also, several volcanoes have gone off, Mt. St. Helens in the USA, and the Hawaiian islands.
Finally, 3 more Nukes have been detonated, serving as a grim reminder as to the estimated 180
undetonated Nukes still lying about the land. They have gone off in South Brazil, South
Germany, and West China, all were set off by people touching them, or trying to move them, or,
in the case of the Nuke in Germany, running over it with a tank.
Republic of the Congo attacks neighbour!
In a surprising move, the Republic of the Congo has attacked its smaller neighbour with the same name, the other Republic of the Congo! No indication was given on why the other Republic of the Congo was randomly invazded, but, nonetheless, the big Republic of the Congo has annexed most of the smaller Republic of the Congo. Also, the larger Republic of the Congo seemed remarkably well-equipped with men and military units.
