From Denmark
After these disgraceful terrorist attacks against Australia, France and England, we must continue our fight against terror. We will help anyway we can in the fight for democracy and human rights.
But we must also not forget, that if we want to wins the fight, we need the help from the islamic nations, instead of their hate. Therefore Denmark suggest a big summit in Copenhagen, where we can try to unite ourself in the fight against terror.

To the UN General Assemble
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India would like to put forth a proposal, in conjunction with that of the proposal made in NAM of an Interenational Intelligence Comittee. If this proposal is pushed through then India would ask the UN to take this comittee's recomendations seriously and impose measures as it or the Security Council sees fit to impose.
To the International Community
We thank you for your condolences and the Prime Minister is hoped to be fully recovered in the coming months.
To Pakistan
In light of recent events the Prime Minister will seriously consider your proposal of giving Kashmir autonomy. Also we would like to defuse some of the tensions between our two nations by working together to find and root out the LeT. We know they are not supported by the Pakistan government in anyway, and hence we ask that our to intelligence agencies work together to bring forth any information about these terrorists so that we may bring them to justice.
On the socio-economic situation facing muslism in India, the Prime Minister would like to here your personal suggestions to eradicate this division. India is not a land of Hindu's, it is a land of Indians, and no citizen should be viewed differently because of their religion.
We truely thank you for your support, it is heartfelt in many Indians and is a welcome change. Let us hope that our relations may only improve.

Outside the wreckage of the Sydney Opera House, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd talks to the press.
2007 was a tumultuous year. Much has changed, much has not. West Papua was granted autonomy; South Africa has provided for huge amounts of research into AIDS; China sent another man into space; the Chechen conflict was resolved, and steps towards a peaceful solution of the division of Cyprus were taken. However, not everything was positive. US President George W. Bush was assassinated, the situation in the Solomon Islands worsened, and most horrendously, terrorist attacks took place across the world, from the Chunnel to Delhi to right here, the Sydney Opera House. Across the globe, Islamic extremists have continued to show that they do not understand the terms peace or acceptance. Australia has not been intolerant. We have allowed Muslim leaders to speak their minds, no matter how radical their ideas. Yet, we are still targeted. Can we simply accept this? No. However, Australia wont go imposing its will on other nations. Instead, with the exception of areas within our area, for example the Solomon Islands, Australia is withdrawing her forces from across the globe. We will not endanger ourselves further by continuing to participate in the War on Terror. We regret that this is the only path we see ahead, but we must follow the example of nations such as Germany and Russia, who remain blessedly free of terrorist attacks due to their neutrality in the ongoing turmoil. As such, following in the steps of President Cheney of the United States, I am hereby announcing the Rudd Doctrine. Thats right, for the first time ever, Australia is going to go to the effort of announcing and enforcing a doctrine. The Rudd Doctrine is simple, Australia will now adopt a stance of armed neutrality in all affairs, except where the concerned event takes place within the region of Oceania, in which case Australia reserves the right to intervene. Ladies and gentlemen, from today onward, Australia will look after the interests of Australia and Oceania, not the interests of America, or Britain. For too long, Australia has been tied into alliances wherein we were the lesser partner, expected to tag along to whatever conflict the other member of the alliance wanted to get into. From the Boer War to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, Australia has been a junior and marginalized partner. No more. From this day, Australia is truly independent for the first time. From today, we are no longer bound by any obligation to the mother nation or great power. Australia will make its own destiny, and that is the essence of the Rudd Doctrine. Thankyou.
As Mr Rudd leaves the podium and heads to a waiting car, the journalists are yelling questions, which he calmly ignores.
To United Kingdom, France, India
From Australia
We deeply regret the loss of life in your nations as a result of the terrorist attacks in the last year.
To United States of America
From Australia
We would like to express our sadness at the assassination of President Bush. He was a strong leader, and a fundamentally good man. He will be missed. (OOC: though perhaps not by us...)
OOC: I haven't written a story/speech in a while. Or at least, not one for a modern nation, haha. It's probably crap, but eh. I imagine I'll get better as time goes by.

It is likely President Cheney will serve the remainder of his office without a Vice President.

The ESA is likely to meet some realities this turn and realise funding is not everything.
Frankly however I want those who funded (including Luxembourg as the space elevator company wants to be included in ESA and vicea versa) to work out some projects other than man in orbit.
To The ambassador of France
From the ambassador of United Kingdom
We will disregard your comments on the Prime Ministers speech at this time. The people rioting in your country is proof enough that the French government has stepped over then line. We in the United Kingdom urge you to take heed to what your people are saying and then take the proper actions to correct your mistakes. We don't disagree taking measures for what has happened to us. However we must make sure we don't punish our own people for what happened. You say your only closing down institutions of hate just make sure you are doing just that and not taking your anger out on the Muslim people of your nation. I hope that we both can work together in securing a plan that will take necessary precautions in preventing this tragedy never to happen again but at the same time not coming down on the people of our nations. Our nations have had there difference in the last year on many of issues but let this not be one.

OOC: People, please stop attacking me. Before the update, I proposed the space elevator to Tyrion rather than trying to land a man on the moon. He shot it down. My understanding going into the update was that the ESA would not be pursuing a space elevator. On a seperate but related note, I was trying to modernize the steel industry in Luxembourg. In addition to the carbon reduction legislation I passed, part of my orders were to convince the Liftport Group to relocate to Luxembourg. Given that NASA has IRL just cut their funding and they've had to extend their deadline for the space elevator from 2015 to 2030, this wasn't that hard.
Please don't accuse me of unrealism. I've taken pains to be as realistic as possible in this game. If anyone else would have taken Luxembourg, I suspect they immediately would have tried to create Benelux. And from Sheep's PMs to me, I suspect he would have allowed it. But IRL, there are good reasons why this hasn't happened. For one thing, the current Benelux agreement cannot be modified until 2010. So I will wait until 2010 to even think about making Benelux more of a unified state.
Anyway, please don't accuse me of unrealism. I've taken pains to do research and make sure that all of my orders are feasible and realistic.
................
On another note, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Olympics. People do remember they are this year, right?

We thank you for your support at this crucial time. France, unlike other nations, but much like the United States, knows now the struggle which is upon our civilization. We are facing the most dangerous ideaology since that of facism and we must never waver in the face of this great threat. Again, France will state that it has done nothing wrong in the shutting down of 1 Mosque for the incitement of terrorism (and indeed, Britain has laws which allows the government to shut down institutions and arrest individuals which incite terrorism: Section I of the UK Terrorism Act of 2006 - there is here a blatant hypocrisy) and the preaching of fundamentalist agendas, nor has our arrestation of 670 individuals responsible for the destruction of buth public and private property been in any way illegal or racially motivated.

If France has done nothing wrong, why then will it not agree to the EU resolution reiterating its commitment to the UN and EU Universal Declarations of Human Rights?

Because of several supposed "allies" who have issued direct insults at our government.
We will be issuing a statement soon on the European council regarding this affair.

Well, I managed to get through my work over the last couple of months and life is looking up again. Coming back here I find the whole place dominated by this single NES, and well, I probably have time to play it if I don't pick one of the superpowers (which are all taken anyways). I did notice however that almost every country is taken while not everyone has been active in the last 20 pages, so could anyone recommend a good country that has maybe been dropped or not active at all that I could pick up?
OOC: Canada was dropped and not repicked up I believe. Same for Poland...I am not sure about Italy, Israel or Argentina. At the very least I havnt seen those three nations post yet. Good nations that were never dropped but are vacant would be Nigeria, Kenya, Thailand, South Korea, Phillipines, New Zealand, Netherlands, Sweden, Chile, Vietnam, Syria. Though its your opinion on these country's power status.

National Broadcasted Presidential Address to the Peoples Republic of China
Date January 17, 2008
Tonight I am addressing the nation of China for a very important reason. The past year we have seen massive terrorist attacks around the word starting in the United States and Europe all the way to India and Australia, and as a result thousands died. We have also seen Iran denoted its first nuclear weapon and become a nuclear power. As a result of all these events the price for a barrel of crude oil has sky rocked in price to over 185 US dollars, and of course this has caused great pain for the people of China. China can no longer tolerate this any longer. If we do nothing and continue to watch the price of crude oil skyrocket even more it will crush the Chinese economy and the prosperity that we all have worked so hard for. No longer can China be dependent upon sources of energy that come from unstable regions of the world. If we look at the examples of the United States, and Europe many of the problems they face today is a direct result of their dependence on Crude Oil from the middle east.
Therefore today I am announcing to the people of China a program to rid us of the need of Middle East Crude Oil. The first stage of this plan will involve a massive new construction program. We will start construction of new Nuclear Power Plants, clean coal power plants, and solar power plants. The government will also give incentives to companies and households to install solar panels on their roofs for electricity. Also the Three Georges Dam will be completed this year. The effects of the first phase of this plan will be the most immediate, as the government expects that as a result of this first phase the price of electricity will drop back to levels before the spike in crude oil prices. This plan will also mean jobs for thousands upon thousands of Chinese people.
The second phase of the plan will be focused on civilian transport. China will start to convert all of its civilian transportation over to hydrogen fuel cell cars and trucks. In the second phase of this plan we will first come up with an economical and efficient way of producing massive amounts of Hydrogen and the means to store and distribute it. Since the price of oil is so high it is now economical to start using solar power to convert water into hydrogen. Of course the research part of this project could take years alone, but will be well worth the effort. As for the second part of this plan china will mandate that once production of hydrogen is at high enough level to start supplying all of China, all new Cars made and sold in China will be Fuel Cell Cars. In the meantime we will try to increase the gas mileage of current cars being produced in China and increase the use of Bio fuels.
Many of you may think that this is impossible, but other countries such as Brazil have already become energy independent. If they can do it, China most certainly can too. China is a great and powerful nation and we have over come many struggles over our long and proud history. When we have seceded in out plan we will be more secure, our economic future will be bright, and no longer will China have to really on countries in the middle east that are unstable and hostile to the outside world.
