Loyal subjects,

Yesteryear, Junecember Fleventh, 3002&#8212;a date which will live in infamy&#8212;the Most Holy and Everlasting Fair Dinkum Free State of Democratic Abbotsford, Inc. was suddenly and deliberately attacked by macro and gay forces of the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Abbotsford, Inc. was at peace with the pinkos and, at the solicitation of Greece, was still in conversation with its Government and its&#8212;wait hold on, we never invaded that country&#8212;uhh, that is&#8212;were looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Nova Terran air squadrons had commenced bombing in Mindanao, the Japanese Empress was watching&#8212;wait what? You mean she was like&#8212;? ... Streuth, that's homo!&#8212;Sorry, lost my place here. Uhh... While the Empress' gaysexual lifestyle all but stated it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of DROWNING THE WHOLE [redacted] ARCHIPELAGO WITH [redacted] BLOODY [redacted] NUKES!

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii&#8212;I mean the Philippines&#8212; from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many months or even years ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government&#8212;what government? ... So now some horny psychic teenager constitutes a government?&#8212;deliberately sought to deceive Abbotsford, Inc. by lewd statements and expressions of hope for continued porn.

The attack yesteryear on the Philippine Archipelago has caused severe damage to 'STRALYAN, Mysterious and Nova Terran naval and military forces, that were engaged at the time in a perfectly legal raid against godless Communist sexual slavery. Many 'Stralyan lives were lost, but those were furries so who cares? Much worse was the death of Mysterious field commander Daniel Corduroy, whose heroic sacrifice in stalwart combat against the gay conspiracy will forever serve as inspiration to virtuous citizens everywhere.

-MANLY DAN: "I'm not dead!"

In addition 'Stralyan ships have been reported washed up on the Cholan and Vietnamese beaches, so if you could send those back post-haste, that'd be bonza.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesteryear speak for themselves. The people of Abbotsford, Inc. have already been informed of their opinions and will do well to understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defence.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. Never again will we question the wisdom of a gender-blind homophobia. Let no-one that has beheld this abominable act dare claim that sheila-on-sheila is any safer, any more respectable than the homo-terror we know and hate.

-MORRIGAN: "Is it too late to cancel this alliance?"

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the 'Stralyan people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I know I interpret the will of God and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. I therefore propose the formation of Friends Against Gay Giantesses, Omnicidal Tidalwaves, and Slut-empresses.

-GOEBBELS: "Excuse me, Sir, [whispering]."

The [redacted]? Oh [redacted], oh [redacted]!


&#8212;That is, I therefore propose the formation of a Council of International Strategic Security to Combat Univeral Misandry.

With confidence in our armed forces&#8212;with the unbounded determination of our people&#8212;we will gain the inevitable triumph&#8212;so help us God.

Spoiler A corollary from the Minister for Public Relations :

Worst. Raid. Ever.
 
Due to continued confusion over information presented in a previous news broadcast, the Ministry of Truth wishes to clarify the meaning of His Enlightened Excellency the Lord Abbott's recent speech regarding the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Subjects unfamiliar with Our Lord's eloquent prose may have been led to believe that Abbotsford, Inc. is in a state of war with Japan. This is patently untrue. No formal declaration of war was issued by the ambassadors of either country. Nowhere in his address did the Great Helmsman once use the word "war". Claims that His Excellency's statement that Japan launched a "premeditated invasion" ignore the greater context and deliberately obfuscate the true meaning of his infallible message.

Oceania Abbotsford, Inc. has never been at war with Eastasia Japan. In fact, our noble nation has been fighting a glorious crusade against Eurasia the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the most wretched hive of scum and villainy known to this earth.

The supposed raid on the Philippines was an elaborate ruse, undertaken with full Japanese co-operation, to expose enemy agents and trick the Soviets into thinking its enemies lay fractured and vulnerable. Our Noble Leader's ingenious strategy enabled our allies to conduct field testing of advanced psychokinetic weapons systems for use against the diabolical Communists' superweapon.

To repeat: Japan and Abbotsford, Inc. are allies in the righteous crusade against Soviet tyranny. Allegations otherwise are nothing but enemy propaganda and will be persecuted accordingly.

The Lord Protector Abbott elaborated our mission in a speech to loyal evangelicals earlier today:

y381933222562334.jpg

There is sin and evil in the world, and we're enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might. Our nation, too, has a legacy of evil with which it must deal. The glory of this land has been its capacity for transcending the moral evils of our past. For example, the long struggle of heterosexual couples for equal rights, once a source of disunity and civil war, is now a point of pride for all 'Stralyans. We must never go back. There is no room for feminism, fur—ry, or other forms of ethnic and racial hatred in this country.

I know that you've been horrified, as have I, by the resurgence of some hate groups preaching promiscuity and heterophobia. Use the mighty voice of your pulpits and the powerful standing of your churches to denounce and isolate these hate groups in our midst. The commandment given us is clear and simple: "Covet not thy neighbour's ass." But whatever sad episodes exist in our past, any objective observer must hold a positive view of 'Stralyan history, a history that has been the story of hopes fulfilled and dreams made into reality. Especially in this century, Abbotsford, Inc. has kept alight the torch of freedom, but not just for ourselves but for millions of others around the world.

And this brings me to my final point today. During my first press conference this year as Prime Minister, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world genocide. I think I should point out I was only quoting George von Constantine, their guiding spirit, who said in Multipolarity I that they repudiate all morality that proceeds from supernatural ideas—that's their name for religion—or ideas that are outside gluttonous conceptions. Morality is entirely subordinate to the interests of classless war. And everything is moral that is necessary for the annihilation of the old, exploiting social order and for uniting the proletariat.

Well, I think the refusal of many influential people to accept this elementary fact of Soviet doctrine illustrates an historical reluctance to see totalitarian powers for what they are. We saw this phenomenon in the 1930's. We see it too often today. This doesn't mean we should isolate ourselves and refuse to seek an understanding with them. I intend to do everything I can to persuade them of our peaceful intent, to remind them that it was the West that refused to use its carrier monopoly in the nineties and double-oh's for territorial gain and which now proposes 50-percent cut in strategic powergaming and the elimination of an entire class of sea-based, Byzantine supercarriers.

At the same time, however, they must be made to understand we will never compromise our principles and standards. We will never give away our freedom. We will never abandon our belief in God. And we will never stop searching for a genuine peace. But we can assure none of these things Abbotsford, Inc. stands for through the so-called carrier freeze solutions proposed by some.

...

A number of years ago, I heard a young father, a very prominent young man in the entertainment world, addressing a tremendous gathering in Western Australia. It was during the time of the Cold War, and communism and our own way of life were very much on people's minds. And he was speaking to that subject. And suddenly, though, I heard him saying, "I love my little girls more than anything—"And I said to myself, "Oh, no, don't. You can't—don't say that."

But I had underestimated him. He went on: "I would rather see my little girls die now, still believing in God, than have them grow up under communism and one day die no longer believing in God."

There were thousands of young people in that audience. They came to their feet with shouts of joy. They had instantly recognized the profound truth in what he had said, with regard to the physical and the soul and what was truly important.

Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness—pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the supercarrier, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the Earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

It was C.S. Lewis who, in his unforgettable "Screwtape Letters," wrote: "The greatest evil is not done now in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint. It is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and naval caps and peacoats who do not need to trade with neighbours."

Well, because these "quiet men" do not "trade with neighbours"; because they sometimes speak in soothing tones of brotherhood and peace; because, like other dictators before them, they're always making "their final historical revision," some would have us accept them at their word and accommodate ourselves to their aggressive impulses. But if history teaches anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom.

So, I urge you to speak out against those who would place the Holy and Everlasting Free State of Abbotsford, Inc. in a position of military and moral inferiority. You know, I've always believed that old Screwtape reserved his best efforts for those of you in the church. So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the carrier race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.

I ask you to resist the attempts of those who would have you withhold your support for our efforts, this administration's efforts, to keep Abbotsford, Inc. strong and free, while we negotiate real and verifiable reductions in the world's communist arsenals and one day, with God's help, their total elimination.

While 'Stralya's military strength is important, let me add here that I've always maintained that the struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith.

...

I believe we shall rise to the challenge. I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow man. For in the words of Isaiah: "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increased strength But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary."​

"Here we are again then." There was some sort of darkness, not a lack of light, but maybe a lack of light receptors - they weren't really sure.

The other one "I hope this time I get a more badass name. I'm sick of those Victorian sounding ones."

"I always quite liked mine." the first again, they were of course not really talking, not just due to a lack of matter to carry the sound but also perhaps the lack of matter to create sound.

It hadn't begun yet - there was still nothingness. The two of them waited, nothing happened.


"I still remember." She turned to the man sitting by her with a smile.

He smiled back nonchalantly "As do I." The sun was setting over the treetops of the great forest. Light shimmered off the waterfall and the tropical birds sang an Evensong of greater glory than had ever been penned.

"We've been here before too." She said and stood up walking up the the wooden rail at the front of the porch. "We were here in world TK:IB7. Why is this different, why can we still remember?"

He shrugged and too a sip from his cup of tea "I suppose its all part of his plan."

"That cup of tea," she said pointing at the porcelain in his hands "That wasn't there before!"

"And your hair," he said, sounding astonished "Its longer."

"Maybe we have control here, maybe we're meant to find our own way." She turned back to the sunset, it was a sunrise now. The birds were singing matins and a track had appeared down towards a distant town. "Maybe we can choose out names this time."

"James." He said without thinking.

"Your always James, why not pick something different?" Now her hair was ginger and the darkness was broken only by moonlight.

"Fine then," the sun hang bright in the centre of the sky beating down on his bacon sandwich "I'll be John, I've never been John before."

She let out an exasperated sigh and shook her head "You have such a brilliant and creative mind but you still go for the same old same old names. Well then James, you can call me..." she paused as the sun rose and set the seasons changed and years had passed "Vivian. You can call me Vivian, Mr John Leighton."

"Well then Miss Vivian Hadley, I shall do that."

Just then they heard a sound coming up the path to the house. A young man appeared, clearly of Hispanic descent, he ran up to the rail and said breathlessly "I remember! I remember!"

"Yes Puan, we do too." Vivian said as another rustle came through the bushes and a man with a great moustache and a tuxedo appeared.

"What's going on?" Vedran Smailovi&#263; asked in his thick Bosnian accent "And where's my cello?"
 

Dennis Crocker walks into Connie's office, with a letter from the Empire of the Rising Sun in his right hand "Imperator Connie Marshall", then hands her the folder containing the letter "Empress Shi desires peace".

"Hmm" Connie said as she takes the folder and opens it up and starts to read it "'...so I decided to spend my time elsewhere and leave the region we fight over alone.' Interesting. A white piece from Empress Shi. To all of us."

Tifa Kennison, sitting across from Connie interjects her own opinions on the matter "Considering that they've sent the Philippines into Oblivion and sent themselves into massive debts for precruing WMDs. It's no surprise in regards to that peace offer".

Irella Morituri, then interjects her own opinion about the world situation "That, as well as a threat of an Basil-Class Carrier operated by rouge Soviets from Greece."

Morrigan, standing right by Connie's personal bar. Making mixed drinks for herself, Lilith, and Connie "I'm surprised that...thing is allowed to roam freely."

"Pfft, Certainly the Basil-Class Carrier can't hold a candle to the Stylesrj-Class Cruiser." Connie barked as she reads through the peace offering. "Certainly this complicates things matter more. Given that this vessel has the power to steam roll anything."

"Including the penguins in Antarctica?" said Lilith in a worried tone

"Including the penguins in Antarctica" responded Connie as she lays down the note from Empress Shi, then looks towards Lilith. "Lilith, I'd like you to accompany me with the delegations of formatting and drafting the Coalition Peace Treaty".

Suddenly, from out of no where, NinjaCow's Formatting Crew slides into Connie's Office a-la Cosmo Kramer style. They all collectively said "Did you rang?".

Annoyed, Connie shouted at the Format Crew. Powerful, Cry of the Banchi shout (think Skyrim's Fus Ro Dah) at them "No I wasn't calling you, now go away before I shout you into the Pacific!". The Format Crew, by the force of Connie's shout, drift with the winds towards the Pacific where they eventually landed in Antarctica. Connie then turns her attention back to the meeting at hand "Now, where were we?".

"Given that the situation has calmed down in the Pacific, what are we going to do with our newly commissioned Submarine fleet?" asked Grand Admiral Otis, with a concerned look on his face.

"I'm not looking to decommission them. Instead, they're going to be keeping a patrol between the Caribbean Sea and off our shores in the Pacific. Giving them an added defense for our capital region as well as to the Canals" Connie said as she points at the map. Trailling her finger from Cuba to the Panama Canal, before ending in a circle in the Oceans off the coast of Central America and Mexico before trailing her finger through the Canal and making a circular motion around Cuba.

"It's been years, since we've operated a water navy" said Irella as she looks at the model of a Seawolf-Class Submarine.

"Submarine warfare is no different than space naval warfare" Connie said with a confident smile. The only difference is one warzone has no air and the other is underwater.

Off the Coast of Cuba, Aboard the RNS Trident

Captain Johnson, looks through his binoculars while perched in the conning tower of the RNS Trident. He then lowers his binoculars and turns to his first officer, Commander Jenkins "No sight of a Basil-Class Carrier. All's clear here in the Caribbean".

"Who would let a madman operate such an overpowered piece of equipment?" asked Commander Jenkins "It's like giving Kim Jong-Il capable ICBMs for him to play with".

"Well, no one expected they'd unearth such a vessel. Even the ponies were caught off guard when they unleashed it's firepower" said Capt. Johnson as he prepares to go below deck.

"Here I thought we would be shooting torpedoes and cruise missiles at Empress's Shi's butt" interjected the Commander.

Captain Johnson then looked up from the submarine hatch as he climbs down the ladder "Well Commander, much like the Ragnarok, we've received orders to stand down. Plus given her tenancies for....unusual porn. She'd enjoy it too much." The Captain continues to go down the ladder "Besides, there's a bigger fish now"

"You mean the overpowered Carrier?" asked Commander Jenkins as he climbs into the submarine hatch and closes it as he enters in.

"Exactly" responded Capt Johnson "The Imperator has ordered the newly commissioned submarine fleet to keep patrol within the waters of Nova Terra and keep a watchful eye on that carrier. A perfect fitting for a series of state of the art submarines".

The two officers then enter into the steering compartment of the Trident. "Men, prepare to dive" commanded Captain Johnson.

"Aye, aye captain!" replied one of the petty officers at one of the control stations of the Submarine. The Trident begins it's dive into the Caribbean seas. First the hull goes under water, then eventually her sails, just before stopping at the depth to allow her periscopes to peek out of the surface of the water.

That tsunami really hurt. Where do we sign up our (admittedly pathetic) army to take part in getting back at these Japs?
FROM: Dan Quayle, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Abbotsford, Inc.

Thank you for your letter, Mr. Zulu-Boerland. Now more than ever, it is important that democrats come together to reaffirm our pledge to world peace by reiterating our willingness to engage in total war. Abbotsford, Inc. sincerely appreciates any and all sentiment given to our part in the tragedy of the Philippines. To prevent such mass atrocity in future, we believe we must strike at the heart of the problem, namely, the bloody specter of international communism and global dictatorship. It is a well-known fact that Japan was merely emulating the antiprogressive sentiment of Soviet Greece and, thanks to our rigorous export of democracy, now recognizes that while Empress Shi may have thought herself part of Europe, she is really a part of North America—that is, the American political philosophy of peace and justice. It is Abbotsford, Inc.'s hope that we may all put aside our petty differences to confront the true global evil, the Soviet Union.

It is a war factory unequal in this world. It is like two Star Forges (OOC: See KOTOR). It can produce more weapons, soldiers and supplies than entire nations' industries. It's power allows it's Master to attempt the domination of the world. There are now only two options for the world. Either Antonis Samaras shall emerge victorious and 99.99% of the population of earth shall be exterminated or the entire world shall gang up and destroy the Basil Supercarrier.

- Alexis

Antonis Samaras, Nikos Papandreou and Alexis talk over the military strategy they will follow.

Antonis: We need to go on the offensive and reconquer all of the territories we have lost. I suggest that we move at once against both Asia Minor and Thrace. We will blitz through the from Soviet lands, genociding their populations.

Nikos: I suggest that we let young men alive to serve as slaves patriotic heroes and work for my pocket the nation. Also, I have signed a contract and I need 10,000 women to be sold in brothels be send to study abroad sex about human relations.

Alexis: Sir, I need a few dollars to marry my fiancee.

Nikos: WTH?! We are planning a war and you think about love. Where shall we find the money?! We have no money except for a few billions I have send to Swiss banks.

Alexis: Alright. :sad:

Antonis: I say that we follow the human waves tactics. Meanwhile, we should try to produce more and more weapons. Our Basil Carrier can produce an infinite number of weapons, supplies and men.

Mathalamus enters the room.

eiB0m4k.jpg

Math: Great Leaders, the Basil Class Carrier is only at 98% structural integrity right now. Once it is 100%, no one in the world will be able to stop us. Andreas Laskaris used this carrier to conquer the entire galaxy. Earth was conquered in two months, Mars in three, our entire start system in a year, the entire galaxy in five years. But the damn Ottomans used black magic which caused the collapse of our once great Empire.

Samaras: This time, we shall not fail. We shall exterminate all human beings on earth and replace with Homo Communists. We will not be satisfied until all of earth is Communist. We shall invade all nations on earth, including the damn Australians who shall be burned!

Nikos: Australia should become a huge gulag. No one will be able to escape that island alive and millions shall work as slaves in Australia to further the cause of our pockets Communism!

Alexis: If we succeed, can I be appointed Governor of Australia? :please:

Nikos: Maybe.

Pol Pot comes into the room along with a young man.

Pol Pot: I have prepared everything we need for a mass genocide. :mwaha: By the way, I have brought a young Communist with extraordinary charisma and skills who can lead our army to victory: Napoleon Tsipras!

Napoleon: Hi, Great Leaders! I am sure that if you appoint me Commander in Chief, I shall be able to lead our armies to victory and allow Pol Pot to genocide all humans!

Samaras: Since Pol Pot has recommended you, I hereby appoint you Commander in Chief of USSR's armed forces. You shall lead our army to complete victory and exterminate all of our enemies.

Napoleon: I shall not disappoint. I shall return in triumph after laying waste to the entire planet!

So, Samaras, Nikos, Alexis, Mathalamus, Pol Pot and Napoleon prepare for the Mother of all Wars.
 

Panama City, Nationalist Square

Today, we celebrate the end of the Philippine War. Our men and women fought bravely on the shores of the Philippines to weaken the Shi Empire until they sued for peace in the aftermath of the nuclear detonation.

But a greater threat now looms around the corner. A threat consisting of an aircraft carrier unearthed by the rouge remnants of the government of Soviet Greece. A ship that has been claimed to be used to conquer the known galaxy. My citizens, the claims are nothing but boastfulness by the Communists to send fear and chills down their enemies. If their claims had any weight, their Basil-Class Carrier would have been met by the grand fleet of the Republic years ago and turned it into floating space scrap by our mighty Ragnarok-Class Star Dreadnoughts and Eclipse-Star Dreadnoughts.

Don't be fooled by the lies the Communists paint. Even their own citizens rejected their government for repeated genocides. Yet, in no surprise from all of us in the world, they won't go down in a fight. Even the Ponies...yes, the Ponies...got tired of them and gone in to pull the plug on the Commie Greek remnants. Yet, they still wont go down without a fight. As demonstrated when we sent delegates to resolve the trade dispute with our canals, The Greek Soviet Remnants deliberately launched a missile right into the hotel where the meeting was being held.

Antonis Samaras has shown his intentions well enough for all the world to see. The eradication of everyone who opposes him. Human, Khajiit, Ponies, and furries alike, wont be immune to the Soviet Greek Remnant's genocidal machine. It's now more urgent than ever that the entire world is going to have to put aside our differences, including our own Anti-Ponism, to put a stop to this menace before he eradicates us all and force the entire Earth into a Communist distopia that would even give Joseph Stalin a hard on.

I have personally relayed this message back to Solitude back on Nova Terra and the entire system has gone on full mobilization mode. We shall expect to see even more robotic mechs coming through into our warp gates to bolster our defenses. Citizens, enlist now and take up arms to defend our homeland. Even join up the Nationalist Party Militia to stomp down and secure the nation from the pests of any contradictory thoughts. The communists shall talk themselves to death.

We shall prevail!​
 
Mystery Country Gears Up For War​
Clocktowers Raided For Parts Across Nation

GRAVITY FALLS, OR BC - In a press release this morning before the national press, President Stanford Pines announced the Mystery Country's commitment to the international task force being assembled against the Soviet megacarrier Basil. After roundly mocking the less-than-impressive name of the super-warship, President Pines declared the creation of the War Ministry, a cabinet portfolio given to the Science and Old People Minister, Fiddleford H. McGucket.

Minister McGucket then took to the stage to announce the first R&D project attempted by the War Ministry.

"Well, Mr. Pines here said we needed some kinda anti-giantess thingy," McGucket said, "And first I thought we'd fight fire with fire and artificially expand General Corduroy by about fifty-odd feet. But we did some tests and found that if we went ahead and did it, Dipper here would drown entire valleys with his nosebleeds."

At this point, Minister Dipper Pines looked at Mr. McGucket with what could only be described as a murderous expression.

"So I went on the intermawebs, and I found this!" McGucket held up an image of a gigantic tank.

"That there iron horse is the M1 Shadowsword Ultra-Heavy Tank," McGucket explained, "That there gun is designed to knock a giant of any stripe out at two miles or more or double your money back, guarantee it!"

When asked, McGucket stated that the new ultra-heavy tanks could be expected to roll out by the end of the year.

Returning to the podium, the President announced the assignment of an expeditionary force to help deal with the Basil. With the majority of the Mystery Fleet required for naval operations against pirates, a small force of cruisers and two divisions of marines under the command of General Wendy Corduroy and Intelligence Minister Pines. Coy announcements about the Lake have led to rumours that the mythical 'Gobblewonker' monster has been found and weaponized for the operation.

- Basil Carrier Factory

What makes the Basil Carrier stand out is the fact that it is not a simple Aircraft Carrier, but it is also a war factory that can produce an infinite number of troops, supplies and weapons. The world trembles in fear as they witness the power of the Basil Carrier. For this Carrier can produce more weapons than all the other nations' industries combined. The war has just begun. First Minor Asia and the Balkans will fall, then Europe and the Middle East, after that East Asia and Africa and finally the Americas and Oceania.

***********************

Antonis Samaras enters the Office of Mathalamus.

Math: Hail, Great Leader!

Antonis: How is the production going?

Math: More and more arms are being made every second. Andreas Laskaris was a genius. For only a genius could create such a Carrier. The Factory Functions of Basil Carrier are at 150%. However, I can increase this to 200% by next year.

Antonis: Good. I want the Factory Functions to reach 1000% by the next fives years.


************************

Announcement of Antonis Samaras to all of the world:

Either surrender to the USSR and genocide all your people or we shall conquer you and genocide your people for you. It is up to you to choose.

Our current world is decadent. The Capitalists constantly exploit the workers while the workers have been brainwashed so as to think money is the only thing that matters in this world. We need a world where humanity, morality and chivalry are our values.

But since this world is too corrupted for those values to be peacefully imposed and the Homo Sapiens have proved to be decadent, we shall exterminate all of them and create a new human being, Homo Communists.

Homo Communists shall share everything, there will be no money, friendship, morality and chivalry shall be the most important values of a such society, people will live in peace and love each other like brother and sister.

Time to put an end to hatred, to money, to capitalism, to nations, to state, to the Homo Sapiens.

The Age of Homo Communists has come!!!!!
