04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [South-Africa]:In the news today, Nyarlathotep was elected president of South Africa, vowing to "spread the truth." We are looking forwards to to seeing precisely what plans the Eldritch-horror-cum-politician has for the region. |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [USA]:The governor of Texas, the biggest, best country in the word, released this statement today. "We dun care bout dose 'Ritch-horrors'. Fuck all Ritches!

04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Near-East]:Upon ascending to the throne, the new sultan immediately changed the vizier's title to The Dragon with the claim that "All viziers are evil. Everyone knows that." When questioned as to, if this were true, why he didn't just have the vizier executed, the sultan gave the reporter a blank stare before he said, "Because he's not a vizier anymore, therefore he's not evil anymore. Simple." |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Europe]:In other news, the assembled leaders of Europe were utterly incinerated by the mysterious appearance of a giant talking fireball. In a strange twist, this possibility had been accounted for in the constitutions of all member states, and the relevant laws specify that the animate flame is now legally the dictator-for-life of the entire region. Citizens are unexpectedly accepting of this monumental shift in political power; "I think Cthugha is a pretty cool guy. Eh noms people and doesn't afraid of anything," one young man in Germany confidently asserted. Today, Europe. Tomorrow... who knows? |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Brazil]:The ruler of Brazil is not in any way one similar to his insane counterparts around the globe. He has, however, declared himself 'Uberking' and relocated his capital to Uberlandia. Claims that this might lead to any confusion were dismissed entirely. |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Russia]:Upon the death of the previous leader, it was decided that the new leader of Russia should be decided by drawing lots. No one is quite sure how the person ultimately chosen got his name in in the first place, but they are stuck with it now. |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [India]:At long last, High Chancellor Tasnica has ascended to the throne of India, the culmination of a years-long scheme to usurp his predecessor, King Zemro. It has taken years of intricate plotting and delicate maneuvering, but finally Tasnica has become the undisputed ruler of the land. Not a single citizen of India was surprised in the slightest by this development, except for a few who wondered why Tasnica had taken so long. The change in leadership was covered in a brief article on the fourth page of the morning paper. |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Kenya]:From the desk of the Kenyan Administrator: Are you ready for PREPOSTEROUS amounts of global conquest? PREPOSTERQUEST. We will capture your lands and have 400 BABIES. We'll make those babies conquer your other lands because they're KENYANS. You won't be able to outrun them because they'll be KENYANS. All will fall to the might of the KENYANS. By the end of the decade you will all be subjugated and you won't be able to take three steps without stepping into KENYAAAAA. Thank you, and have a nice day. |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Argentina]:Daracaex, the Phoenix King, has risen to power in Argentina, voted into power by the almighty Council of Eight! First order of business: Fix this weird moon problem! There are supposed to be eight! …How do I move units to the moon? I'm pretty new to this game. =P |

04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Libya]:hey eveyone, i'm having some issues with the game board actually here, i'm pretty badly colour blind and am really struggling to identify around Lybia what's land and what's sea (Saudi Arabia looks the same colour as the Arabian and Red sea but ... obviously it can't be!) |

04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [India]:Hey Libya. So, Near East's color is a very light blue that is, unfortunately, rather similar to the color used for water spaces. Right now, only Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia are that color, but more will be painted said color as Near East expands. For reference, the only sea spaces in your local area are labelled: Northeast Atlantic Med[iterranean Sea] Bla[ck Sea] Red Sea Arabian Sea Northwest Indian SAr, Syr, and Iraq are all land spaces. |

04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Ghana]:Traveling the world in search of a place needing her, the chaotic reality bender has been walking across the African plains for several weeks. Depending on people's opinion she has been unfortunately or fortunately under the sun for a bit too long. Bewildered and slightly crazied by the mass sun exposure, she has decided that the locality of Ghana needed a powerful Queen out of all possible choices. Taking care of the last in reign dictator, that rumor has her turning into a baby girl, advisors and supporter turned to nurses and maids. The self crowned Queen of Ghana has raisen and is stiring quite the followship. Beware as her armies rise, wielding the mighty ka-girlings for her! |
04 Mar 12 UTC | Spring, 2000: [USA]:Ooh man, why wasn't I Ghanan? I want maids :x |
