BERGENSTEIN NEWS
The Low King of Berge, the reigning monarch of the state of Berge in northeast Bergenstein near the Breullen border announced that "....the state of Berge would lift itself out of the dark ages even if it had to do it itself....." and that "...the forces of the coalition could expect full cooperation from the Bergan Armed Forces and the local police to work together to finally reach a state of stability...."

United Berg Industries the leading tank manufacturer in Bergenstein has announced it has turned down a request by the Bergenstein Government to purchase the new tank that was recently released earlier this month.

In normal circumstances we would now be exiling ourselves however as we currently own the best weapon in all of Bergenstein we feel safe. We have begun to make profits off our new tank and we expect number of new orders for the tank soon, our company does not need such robbery.
