January 1st, 1955.
TERRORIST ATTACKS IN BERLIN.
Several car bombs were detonated during the new years celebration in Berlin yesterday. Salomon's Liberation Army has declared itself resposible. These 7 carbombs were detonated simuntaneoulsy around Berlin, and an estimated 32 Germans died in the Attacks.
Salomons Liberation Army claims for the liberation of an estimated 7 million Jews in work camps. Ofcourse the Germans claim this to be false and there has never been any hard evidence of this being found so far by outside nations.
VIETCONGS REVOLUTIONARY LEADER, HO CHI MINH IS DEAD.
Many Vietnamese are in tears today, as news of their long time leader and intellectual for liberation from European hands died in December 28th 1954. This after reportedly being warned of possible assasination attempts. Now the future of the long rebellion against the EU rule is completely unknown.
NAFTA SIGNED.
The North America Free Trade Agreement between Canada, Mexico and the US will come into reality today, the first day of the year. This has come after heavy co-operation between the 3 nations to develop and help defend each other. In a funny note, the Premier of the CSR also made a statement of offering free trade agreements, this ofcourse is perhaps a work of propaganda as nations of the communist bloc hate anything that has to do w/ capitalism.
(+3 PP per turn for Mexico, +2 to Canada, +2 to US)
MEXICO'S ANTI CORRUPTION PROGRAM GOES BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Mexicos anti corruption program has gone better than expected, already many officials are under arrest, among them 2 governors and several city majors. This experience has brougth the mexican intellegence agency up to speed.
(+4 Mexico Intel)
CANADIAN EFFORTS AGAINST INSURGENTS RISE
After a major anti-marxist purge and well planned surveillance program, the Canadian leadership has been able to arrest an estimated 124 possible insurgents. Other than that no foreign intervention in canada was found.
(+2 Canada Intel)
RESEARCH TO SEE A BOOST WORLD WIDE
Several grand expensive programs have seen birth worldwide, what they are for is anybodys guess.
OOC:
Note that some of you guys that spent some cash to get rebellions sprung up will have to wait, it takes some time for planning and organisation. so dont think the money spent went to nothing, it will have its effects.
Also, everyones economy went up by at least 2 PPs in their production, (unless you attemtped a story and got free stuff

)
update in 2 or 3 days, so get them in!.

NEW-
INTELLEGENCE AGENCYS
Every nation now has a new Stat, 'Intel', followed by the actual name of its intellegence agency. and at the end it has a number, as of right now, almost everyone has a 0 in it.
How does it work?
The number at the stat represents its rating, this rating grows as you put more funds in it. the more money you spend, the better the rating, the better the Intellegence agency.
What does it do?
Your Intellegence Agency can be used effectively in many forms, if its rating is high, you can find out things such as:
-how many nuclear weapons a certain enemy has
-location of ICBMs and military forces
-imminent invasions
-counter-intellegence (figure out whos behind those insurgents)
-figure out what the others are researching.
-etc etc.
What else?
Do bear in mind that not everything discovered by your agencys is 100% true, for things might change entirely in a few turns. Or intellegence might be deducted wrong. So altough is a good tool, is not always true of what it finds out.
How do i get the stuff my Intel finds out?
It comes randomly by PM, altough you might request to find out some specific information, you will not get anything until the Intel rating is very high.
Can I order special operations and stuff?
yes, the higher the rating, the more likely they are to succed and impresive the operations can be. But do bear in mind that if the Agency in the target nation has an equal or better rating, chances are it wont work, so measure yourself first.

OOC: some of you guys need to check out the rules again
