Violent protests in Athens lead to massive crackdown:
Today, more than 17,000 Special Forces Squads and Policemen were called to restore order as more than 120,000 people protested against the violent crackdown of the worker's strikes. The Police made use of plastic bullets and beat the protestors. This time the crackdown had been massive. More than 45,000 people were arrested, 23,000 were injured and 9 died. Protestors have accused 34 policemen of beating a 20 years old man to death, while some other protestors accuse a policeman of firing not plastic but real bullets on the protestors. The violence seen today in Athens has been the most horrific crackdown since 1917. Mr. Samaras has this time condemned the violance of the police and has replaced the Chief of Police with the more moderate Alexandros Kalokyris.
Meeting of Samaras - Tsipras:
Mr. Tsipras and Mr. Samaras have met in order to end the crisis. Both sides agreed that things have gone too far and they made a deal. The Government will privatize 10 from the proposed 13 companies, but the workers who will be fired by the new owners will be given job in state-owned companies based on their skills. Mr. Tsipras has called the meeting historic while Mr. Samaras said that he was happy that "Mr. Tsipras chose dialogue instead of violent protests". The President of the Republic, His Highness Mr. Papoulias, called this meeting a "meeting of unity" and a "great decision that ended the division between the Greeks and a crisis that threatend democracy in Hellas".
The 1st Imperial Guards have been deployed to pacify the former Departments of Pas-de-Calais and Nord along with support from the 1st Lancers, while the 1st and Second Infantry divisions have been moved to retake the Departments of Aisne and the Ardennes. By the end of the year, Marshal Étienne Fitzroy believes that most of Northeaster France will once again be in control of the Empire.
Recruitment Drive!
Emperor Napoleon has started a new recruitment drive in his quest to retake the territories once held by the French Empire. As of August 2113, two new regiments have been formed: the 2nd Imperial Guard Grenadiers and the 3rd Fusiliers of the Line. The French Army expects to have at least three new regiments and two new fleets within "a few years", said Lieutenant-General Richard Beaumont in a press interview on Tuesday.
Economic Growth!
"It's finally time that our nation once again returns to prosperity and wealth," said Minister of Finance Joseph Poirier in an interview. Poirier is referring to the construction of two new factories, expected to be producing automobiles and electric utensils respectively. The construction of these new factories is in accordance to Napoleon's new program of economic growth, which is designed to lower unemployment to below 15% and to stimulate the economy by 3% within the next three years.

Disaster strikes!
Chief Wise Potato, leader of the Polar Order of Seminole Tombraiders, has died today.
Nobody knows for sure what happeend, altough , from what can be seen, Chief Wise Potato was poisoned. Apparently, his morning coffee contained seven types of deadly poisons.
Due to the Chief's sudden death, the Council of the Seminoles assembled to decide a new leader, and they all agreed to appoint Black Cucumber, the son of the beloved Chief, as the new Chief
As news spread across the Seminoles' territory, revolts spring up everywhere" Black Cucumber is known for being a warlike maniac and , if not for his political status as the Chief's son, he would have been in jail since the age of 12, when he was caught at an orgy party where he was the only male.
Still, the first declaration of Chief Black Cucumber is that he will not revoke any commands his father gave and will continue his friendly policy for as long as he can, altough the new Chief already demanded a change in the Constitution. Chief Black Cucumber has officially elgalised weed, prostitution, pimping, and underage pornography. The population seems happy with these decisions, but a quick poll shows that if Black Cucumber does any mistakes, the population will revolt.
Also, the German mercenary unit shows a certain amount of disdain towards the new Chief's orders.
Other news:
- The Polar order of Seminole Tombraiders doesn't have a centralised news networks, thus all news are actually outdated.
- Except recent wild bears attacking the population in mountain areas, no news.
- Wild bears attacking population in mountain areas : 8 dead, 3 wounded, 14.000 scared shitless.
- The Chief's Winter Residence in the town of Predeal is out of toilet paper.

As you can see the Republicans for Empire have the most votes but are in need of coalition talks. Talk are currently under way. Wiraj Amal is already likely to be chosen as president of the IRS. Expectation are that the RAE, IIRL, LNPS and bizarrely enough the PSH are likely plotting to forge a coalition with plans to set other parties in a alliance. The ILP and PAUF are plotting to forge a opposition alliance but their ideological considerations are in need to be accounted for in forging a pragmatic alliance against the RAE alliance.
Most notably thanks to foreign donations to help media ploys the Party for Sudanese Hyenas have gained their first three seats, taken by Okot Takana, as well as proposed to place two hyenas Bud and Lou as senators. While constitutional lawyers are complaining of this the lack of restricting non-humans from taking senate seats in the IRS constitution has been taken note of by the celebrity safari ranger. He is currently calling for the IRS to consider accepting the Seminoles request for the sake of better relations and to promote hyena interests.
Enver Hoxha read the report.
"Damn it!"
The favorite party of the Balkan Republics had failed miserably.
"You see, Boris, this is why you don't mix in with African politics. It's always a major disappointment."
"On a related note, the Seminoles seem rather happy to influence the-"
"DAMN YOU AND YOUR DAMN SEMINOLES! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR SEMINOLES! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM?"
"N-no, Comrade General."
"GOOD. Now... Tell me, Boris. Do you believe in fate?"
"N-no sir. Superstition, sir."
"Good. Then you will consider it your... *sigh*... skill that you are to be appointed ambassador to Sudan. You know the drill, we do this with every ambassador."
"Yes sir."
"And if you so much as commit one faux pas... I've heard there are some quite exquisite punishments for treason."
Boris gulped.
A new metro subway is being constructed to connect all of Hellas. The new metro railway will allow travels at record times and will connext the whole of Hellas and allow more buisnesses to open.

Antonis Kanakis agrees to give an interview:
Mr. Antonis Kanakis, leader of the Greek Rally Party, is one of the most popular Greek politicians. Calm, trying to find the middle way and not afraid of praising his opponents if they have done something good, are some of the reasons he is so popular. Now, he has agreed to give an interview to our Reporter, Mr. Andreas Loverdos.
Andreas (A): Hello Mr. Kanakis. I thank you for accepting our request to interview you.
Kanakis (K): I am the one who should thank you for your offer. I am always happy to express my opinion and my view on what should be done to develop our country.
A: So, my first question is about the privatizations. You support them but at the same time you criticize the government about them. What is your opinion?
K: Well, I congratulated the Government for a reason. Because privatization must happen both to gain money to develop the infrastructure of Greece, as well as the economy, but also to end the corruption in state owned companies. What I did not like about the sales is that we could have sold the companies in a higher price than the one which the government agreed and that it should had been made in the open, not with backdoor deals. Also, we in the Greek Rally Party believe that privatizations must have happend faster. The crisis was not created so much about the privatization but because of the backdoor deal and then the use of brute force by the police.
A: In the foreign affairs, what policy do you support?
K: I see in the Balkans a natural ally. We should have closer relations to the Balkans. Also France is an importand nation that we must ally with. Alliance with the Balkans and France will allow us to expand in Macedonia without the threat of war.
A: You seem to support a lot the cultural project in Sicily. Would you support the expansion of this project all over Hellas with funding by the Central Government instead of only the local government?
K: Of course! Knowing about our history, making the young people to be proud to be Greek and know why the must be proud to be Greeks is worth all the money. To save the heritage of more than 4000 years of history is very, very worth all the money that would be spend in a possible expansion of that project.
100th anniversary of "The Event"
100 years ago, what modern New English Scientists have dubbed "The Event", consumed the world, nations fell, chaos ensued, a few pockets of civilization survived, Boston was one of those havens of civilization, spared from the carnage of the outside Boston and its surrounding cities banded together to keep the Commonwealth of Massachusetts alive, over time the commonwealth was able to grow in strength, sending out expeditions to the nearby area, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire all in states of chaos and anarchy, every city the expeditions came across were amazed at Massachusetts' way of living and the fact that it stayed united through the years, the cities and states seeing the way Boston and the rest of Massachusetts banded together, they saw an opportunity, unanimously they voted to band to Massachusetts, they petitioned the Commonwealth for inclusion into their government. Not knowing what to do, the people of Massachusetts looked back to the days long forgotten, they set up a Federal Republic, centered in Boston, creating the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the official legislation and creation of Massachusetts happened on 28 July 2040. "The Event" may have destroyed most of the world, but New England pulled through, eventually the City of New York a powerful yet corrupt town that controlled from its own island all the way to the Great Lakes fell into chaos and anarchy, the freedom fighters sent an envoy to the Commonwealth, saying in exchange for New English support they would recreate the old state of New York and join the republic, seeing an opportunity to expand the Senate of New England agreed and soon with New English help the rebels overthrew the corrupt government of New York and joined the Commonwealth in 31 July 2103. Now with the Commonwealth of New England having reached a level of technology, status of living, and strength similar to that of "Pre-Event" time along with the knowledge of other people who survived New England will march forward into the glorious future and only time will tell what said future holds for New England and the rest of the world.
Expansion of the Erie Canal
The Government of the State of New York have decided that the Erie Canal must be expanded. This Canal first opened in 1825 allowing for a continuous water route from the Hudson river which connects to the Atlantic and New York City, to the Great Lakes. This Canal has allowed for New English shippers to move goods from the "Great Plains" and the Louisiana river to New York and the Atlantic. This expansion will allow for larger ships and more cargo to be moved between the Hudson and the Great lakes much faster. This expense is believed to cost the Government of New York millions of Pounds however they say that this expansion will be worth it, with increased income for New English merchants. This Expansion will also allow for New English merchants to more easily reach the city of Chicago, a fiercely independent trade republic ruled over by the Doge of Chicago and its patrician families, Chicago has an almost absolute control over trade on the Louisiana river, and its main competitor is New Orleans at the mouth of the river. The Boston Herald personally wishes the state of New York luck and success with the expansion of the Canal.
Jersey Joins the Commonwealth!
The people of East and West Jersey have seen the unity and prosperity that the New England has and have petitioned to join the Commonwealth, they propose to recreate the former US State of New Jersey. The Commonwealth Senate has accepted their proposal and have sent President Kennedy, along with the 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Calvary Division to New Jersey to oversee the annexation and to prevent any Gang fighting from disrupting the meeting between Kennedy and the Governors of East and West Jersey, and to make sure that East and West Jersey come together peacefully.
Yankees and Red Sox gear up for a new season
The Great New Englander past time, Baseball, is still a couple months away, however that has not stooped bitter rivals, the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Yankees from preparing for the new season approaching. Both teams have picked up the best rookies from their area, and have started training for the new season on heated fields, while there is no clear winner of the Baseball World Cup yet, the Boston Herald wishes good luck to all the teams. Go Red Sox!
New English Army Marches on New Brunswick
After countless lost scouting parties sent to the New Brunswick area President Kennedy has decided enough was enough. He sent the 1st Armored Division to the northern end of New Brunswick in order to see what was happening. The Goal of the First Armored was to cut off any and all supplies to New Brunswick from Quebec if there are any, and to see if they can find any evidence of what happened to the scouting parties, the First Armored have been told to shoot only when shot at, they will do their best to not take the lives of innocents and they will find out what happened there, Boston Herald annalists have a couple of theories of what could have happened to the scouting parties. The first is that they got lost, which is hopefully what happened, another possibility is that they were attacked by the residents of New Brunswick, and finally the possibility of New Brunswick being uninhabited and the scouting parties were attacked by wild animals. But whatever the case this is the first step for New England in getting complete control of the Gulf of Maine.
New England the Industrial superpower
Before "The Event" New England was a supposed Industrial Giant on the world stage, President Kennedy yesterday said that New England must regain its lost legacy and has promised to double the industrial power of New England by the end of next year. He has urged the citizens of New England to help in this endeavor, as "only the people of New England can get this project to succeed."
Chaos in Greece
The Greek Government has decided to privatize much of the government owned companies, leading to protesting and strikes. While the people of Greece are pretty much divided 50/50 on the matter the situation only appears to be escalating, and the police brutality against the protesters have not helped the situation at all. President Kennedy had this to say on the issue: " The Government of Greece has taken a great leap forward in ending corruption and in creating a freer economy for its people, however that does not excuse its tyrannical actions against its own people, the use of police brutality against the working men and women on strike is unacceptable, and I commend the Greek to stick to what they personally believe, and I pray for the safety of the protesters, I also commend and throw my support behind Mr. Antonis Kanakis of the Greek Rally Party. He has been the voice of reason and moderation, along with the preservation of history, I greatly commend and appreciate that, for his actions and bravery I would personally like to award Mr. Antonis Kanakis the New English Presidential Medal of Liberty and Peace, along with a small gift of New English Pounds to help and support his cause in Greece. I believe I am speaking for all of New England when I say Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem when it comes to matter of Greece."
