FALLER GOVERNOR'S OFFICE BOMBED

BREAKING NEWS. Law enforcement responded to an explosion that erupted from the upper floors of the Capitol building in the province of Faller. Sources have verified that the Governor was in his office at the time of the explosion. Sporadic firefights between suspected bombers and Police broke out in the streets shortly after the explosion. Chancellor Grumboltd has since announced a State of Emergency in the Province of Faller.

Oh hell no. D:  

Acadia encourages Folland to allow Acadia to assist in maintaining order in Folland.  We will not see our ally fall to these barbarians.

I think Folland can handle it Jack. It would only exasperate the protests if another nation interferes.

Nope.  Acadia wants in.  Valessia says meh.

Follandan Military Units "Invade" Faller Province

News vans stood parked along the InterProvince 40 going east as columns of troops and tanks from the 187th Mechanized Infantry rolled on the Capital of Faller, where earlier the Governor's office was bombed, claiming his life as well as a few of his aides. The situation has escalated and the media has been forbidden from coming too close to hostile areas of incursion. We'll try to keep you up to date with the latest from Faller.

Supplemental Information

Violence Worsens

As Military Units effectively invade the Province of Faller, unruly civilians appear to be banding together under a banner against the Government forces "attacking" their towns and homes. The Free Peoples of Folland, as they're calling themselves, are organizing using means remaining unknown to Follandan leadership, however some speculate the Shayden Loyalist Front may be aiding the revolutionaries. Military casualties have already reached in the tens after the first few days of action. It's becoming clear that the once peaceful protests have blown into civil revolt against the Government. Chancellor Grumboltd has already placed National Guardsmen on alert in neighboring Provinces.

In related news, peaceful protests in western Follandan cities have spread against the Government's actions in the east. Claims of war crimes ring out from the masses due to Chancellor Grumboltd's use of the Armed Forces against Follandan citizens.

That's not good.  I hope order can be restored.

Statement from the New Chancellor of Folland: Dehya Moen

My Fellow Follandans, I had hoped I might one day take this podium under more, calm, circumstances. However because of a madman, that wasn't the case. Chancellor Grumboltd, the man that was voted into office to try and lead this nation after my father stepped down, proved that he was not, at all, the best thing for this country's future, and many paid with their lives because of it. The instability in the Faller province broke him, and used our own Military, our own soldiers, against us to try and quell it. I'm here, telling you now that the man who ordered tanks to roll down your streets, who directed our own troops to fire into crowds of our neighbors, has been taken into custody by the men and women of the National Guard, who still retained their sense of morality and Humanity. I commend these men and women with the utmost respect. When they faced the conflict of direct orders, and what was right, they disobeyed their orders and chose to do the right thing, for all of Folland.


Now I tell those who were fighting in Faller, to please, lay down your arms, and settle your hearts. The worst is over, and I promise, as my Father did, to move this country into a much better path. Your homes are safe, your country in better hands. We'll rebuild your towns and cities, and make sure this never happens again. It's happened once in Folland history, and shall remain that way.

After finishing her speech, Chancellor Moen was joined on stage by her father, previous Chancellor Michael Moen. The two shared smiles and stood before thunderous applause amongst tens of thousands of Hinali citizens.

In related news, the court case between the new administration of Folland and the criminal Mark Grumboltd has been met with unusual opposition from USNW nations, claiming Chancellor Moen's government as illegitimate. If the USNW Court refuses to try Grumboltd, then the Moen administration will be forced to try him in a Folland court, where he will presumably be sentenced to Death, instead of the USNW Court's Life in Prison sentence.

I hope elections are going to take place.  But it would be interesting to see this play out even more.  Good stuff, Mike!

Woo, go Dehya.

I like her.  But as of now, she is a tyrant.

How do you prove her to be a "cruel and oppressive ruler"?

She's a woman

Yo momma's a woman.

Precisely, and she's cruel and oppressive :S

LOL

Are you talking to me?  By tyrant, I meant that she took power without an election.  I'm sure she is a great leader.  I was referring to that definition:

1. (esp. in ancient Greece) A ruler who seized power without legal right
   

I, for one, welcome our incest loving offspring lady overlord heir to the dynasty that is the Moens chancellor.

Technical Mishap Causes International Incident:

Political Tensions rose today after a scheduled Military training exercise turned into an accidental Invasion as 360 Follandan Army Paratroopers dropped onto an island along the southern shore of Kuyrut. The island itself is under the Governance of Kuyrut and thus is Kuyrutian territory. The accident is believed to have been caused by faulty GPS software aboard the three UT-130's carrying the soldiers. The flight was originally meant to take off from their base just southwest of Carksson, and head southwest toward Follandan island of Feyre in the Okanamapi Province. Instead the flight turned northwest, taking them toward Kuyrutian waters. More info will be reported when it becomes available.

Mitron shakes it's head at this simple navigational error.

I got dibs on Mike's side of the war!

LOL oops.  Sorry, didn't mean to invade you, umm, awkward.  

Time to use some RPing.

The Okaiken Aviation Authority is not impressed with the navigation error by Folland's military, and asks why they did not listen to the Civilian ATC/Military ATC to determine their location.
