DEUTSCHE NEWS REPORT: INTERVIEW WITH ILIAS PSINAKIS
Psinakhs_Hlias.jpg

This is Adam Thomas of Deutsche News with Mr. Psinakis here on Skype with us.

Herr Psinakis, this is Adam Thomas of Deutsche News. I am pretty sure that you are well aware that the German population is quite suprised with the developments in Yugoslavia. Can you tell us why you publicly announced the prize for the assasination of the Emperor?
Hello, Herr Adam. I am pleased to answer your questions. Also, nice dress. You look absolutely fabulous.:D The reason that I stated publicly the assassination prize is so more people have knowledge of it and can assassinate the tyrant and become Heroes of the Workers. The more people know of the reward, the more will try to assassinate that tyrannical genocidal bastard, if you allow me the wording. If this bastard is not killed, the whole world will continue to be burned in the flames of war.

Interesting to know. Don't you think though that it would have been better if you had just sent the order to the Socialist People's Party who have already announced their support for Yugoslavia and got a 17% in the most recent elections?
No, because the Roman Emperor is an enemy not only of Communists, but of all people in the world. By the way, I want to congratulate our German comrades for their great electoral rise. We hope that in the next elections, they will rise even more.

Truer words have never been spoken before.Regarding the war itself, what is your opinion on the outcome so far and what are your hopes for the Yugoslavian military machine?
We have managed to stall the Italian advance in Hungary and so we can now focus on Thrace. Last season, the front in Thrace had taken a second place as we had to stop the Italian advance into Serbia itself. Now that the Italians are stalled, we can once again put our priorities in the Thracian front. I am confident of victory, mainly because our cause is morally upright: to free the Roman and Italian workers from capitalist slavery.

Interesting. Although we still have not addressed one issue. Why did Yugoslavia take the risk and not only release, but also equip with modern weapons a radical muslim state in Europe?
It was a mistake on the part of General Lushenko, who has been stoned to death by a Public Court. He managed to persuade us that an Islamic Bosnia could act as a shield which would stall the Italians and not allow them to invade Yugoslavia proper. Although, to say the truth, since the Italians cannot go through Bosnia, we can stall them in Hungary, so the plan succeeded to an extent. However, the General's idea of equipping them with modern weaponry was bad and thus why he was stoned to death.

Enlightening indeed. Now onto matters regarding peace, what is your plan exactly for the post - war Balkans?
All of the Roman Empire shall be annexed into Yugoslavia as the People's Republic of Turkey, Bosnia will become once again Yugoslavian and Venice will be annexed into Yugoslav Slovenia.

What is your opinion on the cybernetics program being done in Germany?
Neutral. I am neither negative nor am I too optimistic. I wait to see the results.

One final question. What will Yugoslavia do about powers like the Maghreb Union and Egypt that have denied any weapon supplies to pass through Giblartar and Suez respectively?
As long as they do not allow any side to be supplied with weapons, nothing. If their closing of the canals is one sided, however, then Yugoslavia may need to take action, peaceful first and more dynamic if all other solutions fail.

Thank you Mr. Psinakis for this interview.

* Channel closes *
Wow, what a great and charismatic leader.
 
the Emperor of the Romans, still in Berlin, has watched that news report. he just sighs, remarking that while he hates the Yugoslavian leader, he never paid 300 million dollars to kill *him*...
 
Interview of German Chancellor Robin Kellner

3728-1.jpg

The German Chancellor Robin Kellner has been interviewed in the Yugoslav State Television by the President, First Worker and Grand Marshal Ilias Psinakis.

Ilias (I): Hello, Chancellor Robin Kellner. It is a great honor to have you here, in Yugoslavia State Television. I, Ilias Psinakis, thought that it would be better if I interviewed you to show Yugoslavia's due respect to you, instead of a presenter interviewing you.

My first question is, what is your personal opinion on the Yugoslav war and what is the official stance of Germany on the war? Is your personal opinion and the official stance of your nation differentiated, even in the least?

Robin (R): Hello, and thanks Herr Psinakis for having me.

You must understand that, as Chancellor of Germany, it is pretty hard for the my opinion, that of my party, and of the Coalition to be that much differentiated. It is our belief in the Governing Coalition that Germany should not intervene in the war at all, lest we become the scapegoats of madness and genocide for a third time in the history of the World. As such, it is important to note that the Government is apathetic to both sides, the Romans and Italians, and the Yugoslavs. We are protecting the Roman Emperor as we believe it is our duty to accept and take care of him as we would do with any other guest in our country.

However, it goes without saying that not all Germans agree with the official stance of the Federal Republic. Indeed, I believe that it is not out by mere chance that the Socialist People's Party managed to gain 17% of the votes. But again, while a fifth of the population might approve of intervening and helping Yugoslavia, the majority is simply against war alltogether, as proved by the low percentage the German Patriotic Party and the Nationalist Party of Germany.

I: Interesting. Well, my other question is, aside from the issue of direct intervention, what is the idea, the picture that most Germans have of Yugoslavia? Again, I state this is aside from their willingness to intervene.

R: That's an interesting question, but you are propably asking it to the wrong person. While not knowing much about the recent developments regarding how the general German opinion of Yugoslavia has been shaped due to my occupation with matters regarding BIAS, I can say that most of us are propably a little bit... shocked by how swiftly the Purge was executed during this period, but I think everyone noticed that after your interview with our Deutsche News channel everyone was a bit more accepting and supportive of Yugoslavia. So overall, without being 100% sure, I would say a neutral position with perhaps more positive elements than before.

I: This is very good to hear. My next question is a bit more personal: do you have a wive or girlfriend? If yes, can you tell us more about your family life? I hope that you are not offended by the question.

R: No not at all! Although, I certainly did not expect this question to be done in Yugoslavian Television!

I have a wife, named Barbara Wiese, and together we have 4 healthy children, 3 males and 1 female. They have the ages of 7, the two twins, the male and the female, who are both 6 and our youngest son, Harold, who is at the age of 5.

I: I hope that they grow up to become healthy, handsome and successful, just like me.

Now, going into German foreign policy, what is your policy towards the French problem? If diplomacy fails to solve the problem and the situation gets worse, have you considered using military means?

R: The government is divided on the matter. Generally, we have adopted a stance of as little intervention as possible. If diplomacy succeeds, we will support whatever decision the French take, even if that is being totally related with the Union of Britain as a state and people. If they fall in civil war, we can only offer healthcare and civilian support to both sides, hoping that those who are innocent do not get hurt. Military means will only be used if the situation deteriorates by having another power intervening directly.

I: On gay rights, how is the situation in Germany? Also, sorry for any offense, have you ever had homosexual intercourse? Again, sorry for any offense, just asking.

R: Ha, none taken. Excuse me for my apparent amusement, I just didn't think I would encounter such questions in the public.

No I have not partaken in erotic activities with other men, but that does not reflect the situation of gay rights in Germany at all. In fact, Germany is known thorough the world for being one of the few places where there is an active attempt to strengthen the rights of homosexuals and of women.

I: Alright. But if you ever want to try, just pay a visit to my villa in Belgrade.

Anyway, on internal policy, do you think that as droids take on more and more jobs previously done by humans, many humans will become unemployed? How does your government plans to solve this problem? Are you going to limit the use of droids in certain sectors?

R: Yes, massive unemployment is a consequence that we sooner or later will have to face. Luckily, the previous Coalition and the present one have both taken small but steady steps to mitigate these effects. First of all, a minimum wage has been introduced to those who have been replaced by robots which will help them survive for as long as they are without any wage. Meanwhile, there are many government - funded seminars that target these people with the intention of teaching them valuable skills as to turn them towards other sectors, like advertising or entertainment. Moreover, our cybernetics program has been progressing well, and a reason the Coalition decided to make the surgical operation free for the homeless, unemployed and the handicapped is for them to set the first example as people who will use their new skills, or body parts in this case, to work for the betterment of the whole society. However, I envision in the far future a world where no one will need to work and where humans will have all the time thanks to robots to care only about entertainment and their education, as they will have been freed by any anxiety about the economic situation of their household.

In the end, I believe that the whole program has benefited and will continue to benefit Germany and humanity.

I: On the political scene of Germany, what do you think of Allah's World and it's activities? Also, on the international level, what is your stance towards the Islamic State?

R: I am rather indifferent myself on the radical muslim party within Germany, as the people themselves rejected it and will likely continue doing so. Besides, our secret services are more than capable of handling their "activities", which are nothing more than just preaching at this point.

As for Bosnia, I am sure everyone agrees that they are a real danger to the stability of Europe and must be taken care of as quickly as possible. And while we try not to intervene as a government representing our people, we are certain that eliminating the Islamic State of Bosnia can only be classified as " pest control ".

Now to be fair, I do not want to be mis - interpreted and thought of as a racist and demagogue. I don't think all countries with Islam of whatever kind is a danger. In fact, we have co - operated with Muslims in Germany even before the Other invasion. But Bosnia is rather the exception to the rule rather than the rule.

I: On the political front, do you think that the rise of the German Socialists represents a threat to Germany's traditional ruling parties? Also, if the circumstances forced you so, would you be willing to enter into a coalition government with the Socialist?

R: As you may have realised by my history and my membership in the NLP, I do not have the best of relations with the Socialists, but considering them a threat is a misunderstanding of massive proportions. They are no more "groundbreaking" than the Technocrats or the Rationalists are themselves. And if the cirmustances forced my hand, then yes, I could very well enter a coalition with the Socialists if Germany for example needed a Grand Coalition as to show our unity to our people and to the nations of the world.

I: My last question concerns your personal opinion of me, Ilias Psinakis. Some (mainly North African Arabs) view me as more evil than Stalin and as the Anti-Christ while many more (mostly Yugoslavs and Communists) view me as a Champion of the rights of the Workers and the one who shall lead the world into becoming a worker's paradise.

What is your personal opinion of me? Please do not try to hide it and I hope that you will give me your opinion, as Robin Kellner, not as the German Chancellor. Do not worry, dear, I will not be offended.

Thanks for your time.

R: I see you as nothing more than a Head of State, just like me, who has been forced due to circumstances to take some rather harsh actions because of the Yugoslavian political situation. I understand that much, but I completly disagree with the whole Yugoslav political model, as you asked for my personal opinion, and as such disagree with the policies you took and take. But the person behind it all does not matter, for he is a puppet of the circumstances.

Thanks for having me, I had a lively time!

DEUTSCHE NEWS REPORT: INTERVIEW WITH THE EMPEROR

This is Adam Thomas of Deutsche News reporting live from the Federal Chancellor's Mansion. As you can see, security is pretty tight, as the German Government is trying to accommodate and keep safe the Emperor for as long as he stays. We still have not passed the safety perimeter that has been established around the Mansion, so let us get onto it!

The journalist and his crew march forward to the mansion. After being stopped and thorougly searched by some policemen and a robot, they are allowed to enter the Mansion to take an interview from the Emperor. There, they find the Emperor and the Chancellor watching Star Trek episodes.

Herr Laskaris, this is Adam Thomas of Deutsche News. I am pretty sure that you are well aware of the Yugoslav bounty for your life. What can you say to us about that?
What i can say about this bounty is that i expected this to happen. it was an obvious move. however, i did not expect a huge price for my head. 300 million dollars for my head? they must think that i am an important person. I only guide the people. I never took direct control. It was the generals, the Chancellor, the Roman people themselves who did everything.

Interesting. And what will you do with the danger being great even after the security measures taken by the Government?
Honestly, despite the fact that the bounty will effectively do nothing but make the Roman people even madder, i still want to live, so i will take every security precautions i can realistically take, and fully cooperate with Germany to safeguard my life.

Regarding the war itself, what is your opinion on the outcome so far and what are your hopes for the survival of Rome?
My opinion on the outcome of the war is that the Roman Empire will be the victorious nation. Even if we achieve only a white peace, we are the victorious ones, because we have denied the enemy the Queen of Cities. that in of itself if a truly important goal.
I have strong hopes for the survival of Rome. i truly believe that Yugoslavia cannot ever defeat the Roman Empire. i have strong hopes that we are the ones who will defeat Yugoslavia. they are only killing themselves, making themselves lose the war.
My only concern is how fast i can win this war, to minimize the number of people being murdered.

Interesting. Do you count perhaps on the support of other nations that have still not joined the war?
Yes. their support was instrumental to the war effort. in fact, if it weren't for them, we would have been forced to surrender long ago. They are the cheerleaders. they give the Romans the energy, metaphorically speaking, that allows us to keep the war going. As long as they are cheering us on, we shall never be defeated.

Enlightening. Now onto matters regarding peace, what is your plan exactly for the post - war Balkans?
Our plans for the post war Balkans is to Annex Bulgaria, Greece, and Macedonia. Italy will get, i believe, Slovenia, Croatia, and probably Bosnia. the other territories are still up for debate.

Herr Laskaris, we have gathered from trusted sources that you came here to warn Germany about the dangers of its cybernetic program. Have you perhaps changed your opinion about it?
My deepest apology to the supporters of the Cybernetic programs, but i have not. I truly believe it will end badly, and turn Germany into some sort of Borg nation, or worse, become like a decentralized Skynet. Both are quite nasty, and Germany has enough people and industry to make either path a great threat to the world.

We do, however, trust Germany to realize the path they are taking, and take great care in expanding its programs. We hope, that if either of this happens, Germany shall take any actions necessary to end the threat. Even if its overkill.

One more question. What is your opinion on your immediate neighbors like Kurdistan and Persia of which Germany has little contact and information?
We have also had little contact with either of these nations, and its clear they they prefer to stay out of the war. we are just going to let them be. we respect them enough to do that.

Thank you for your time Herr Laskaris
You are welcome.
 
OOC: Any agreements made regarding the division of the remainder of North American territories?

OOC: the Gethic were only interested in securing the West coast, enough states in the Western USA and Wyoming for its likely uranium deposits. We had no plans for the north-east of Wyoming.
 
Germany congratulates Egypt on her first elections, and we hope that the Liberal/Socialist Coalition will be the first of many democratically elected Egyptian leaderships.
 
The new Pharaoh, Asad ibn Abdul ibn Abdul,
A'ight punk, you betrayed the UAR so imma lay a linguistic smackdown.

'Abdul' is not a name, it's a title (abd al). Thus the name Abdullah means 'servant of God', &c.
So 'Asad ibn Abdul ibn Abdul' translates as
'Lion, son of servant of son of servant of'.
The rest I leave to you.

Emperor activates Reserve Armies

Emperor Andreas I, acting on knowledge best not revealed, has activated the reserve Equivilent of the Emperor's guard, the first, Second and Sixth Armies. they shall assemble and mobilize somewhere in Anatolia, well away from Yugoslavia.

so even of Thrace falls, and all four Armies there are completely destroyed, the replacing armies will instantly replace the destroyed armies.

and, it was well established that the Emperor and his entire leadership was in Ankara the whole time. this, Capturing Constantinople will do little in the way of actual change.

Emperor informs the people

the Emperor has spoken at a press conference in Ankara, detailing why he chose to activate four reserve armies, and gloat over the enemy's failure. Alexis Drakos reporting.

Alexis: Emperor Andreas, why have you decided to prepare for the worst, and assume that Constantinople will be captured sometime soon?

Emperor: simply put, i have revived intelligence that Ilias Psinakis has figured out exactly how to capture Constantinople. we dont know how they will do it. it is either a nuclear nuclear attack, a chemical attack, or simply actually attempting to destroy the regional Navy. the first two is bad, because of the appalling casualties involved, and the latter is bad because it will cut off Constantinople from most meaningful supply.

Alexis: but doesn't Constantinople, a city of several million, mostly evacuated by now, still have a huge supply cache? there's only, at most, 450,000 civilians and military personnel remaining, not even one quarter of the city's estimated 2 million.

Emperor: that is true, but, the city will not be able to hold out with Air supply, for very long. we also still have to supply and evacuate the remaining civilians, ferry out the wounded soldiers, carry out air strikes, that sort of thing. its a difficult job at best for the air force. and it will shortly become a useless affair if the enemy uses a nuclear weapon.

Alexis: the Government of the Roman Empire and the Emperor has been in Constantinople ever since the deal fell through. did you know that Yugoslavia would declare war and try to take Thrace by force?

Emperor: Yes. after all, they made their intentions quite clear from the start. they made their goals, their ideology, clear almost from the moment they organized. we did Establish the Roman Empire with Constantinople as the De jure Capital, but we knew, with a fanatically hostile nation a days walk from Constantinople made it a very dangerous place to establish a permanent Capital in. so, we chose Ankara for the Government to sit in, at least until we defeat Yugoslavia.

Alexis: but did you expect a quick defeat in Thrace?

Emperor: no. the sheer number of soldiers fighting in Thrace, their fanaticism, the infinitely impressive performance of the Roman Navy and Airforce, would make such a goal impossible. they all know that the government is safe and sound in Ankara, but if Thrace is conquered, the way to the Roman Heartland is open. they know that they cannot let this happen. the Civilians there know this. they have stated, rather publicly, that Yugoslavia will have to kill every single man and woman that's left, or they will never be able to land in Anatolia, much less conquer it.

their bravery is admirable. even by Greek and Turkish standards. these people would rather go down fighting the enemy, rather than surrender. after all, "Heros fight like Greeks". we shall support them to the very end.

Alexis: their bravery is impressive. i know they will fight well. Emperor, any last words you wish to say?

Emperor: yes. listen to me, people of Constantinople: even if we lose Constantinople, we will liberate it. we will rebuild the Queen of Cities. the Yugoslavian menace is fighting a two front war. they cannot win. at all. the Italians are heroically fighting their way to Belgrade. their soldiers need our soldiers to keep their elite forces in Thrace.

people of Constantinople: Roman Victory or death!

SHAH REZA PAHLAVI II DEAD, NOOR PAHLAVI TAKES OVER AS SHAHBANU OF PERSIA!

Today, Shah Reza Pahlavi II has died of tuberculosis in the palace. With no absolute agnatic laws being in place, and with no male heirs, the throne goes to Noor Pahlavi. Noor Pahlavi already has a son (Arashmid) and she is pregnant of a daughter (Hayedeh).

The nation mourns the death of Reza Pahlavi II. During his reign, he defeated the Islamic revolutionaries and struggled to fight against the leftover guerrillas that still held much of the south. In addition, he made the north of Iran a very prosperous place and the north became very powerful economically and politically. But his most important accomplishment yet was to successfuly resist the alien invaders,restoring Iran in the process and gaining a lot of territories, thus mostly restoring the ancient Achamenid Empire.
 
Alright, a more serious post than the one in Argentina here:

PROTESTS AGAINST THE SHAHBANU!

Several imams have protested at the coronation of Noor Pahlavi as the Shahbanu. They refuse to be ruled by a woman and they demand that she steps out of office and leave the throne to a male pretender. Noor Pahlavi refused these requests. This is paving the way for a conflictive reign. What will happen next? These are the questions that the people are anxiously asking.
