Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Your new guide to the Independent (OOC)
Editorial

Article by Numero Capitan

Welcome to the new look AWP Independent! Don’t be alarmed! Following a poll of our readers we have taken a new avenue in AWP media and moved into the roleplay world that is fast expanding in 00000 A World Power. We hope to engage our readers worldwide and update you on our roleplay world and hopefully prompt you to check out the roleplay section on your next visit to AWP. Its great fun and we’ve recently expanded to havea space roleplay too, although this editor isn’t sure he is in a position to report on that yet!

There is many many months work that has gone into some of the nations within our world and we can offer only a small part of events and hopefully you’ll learn more about the nature of each nation, those roleplayers who have constructed them might see them in a different light or might be inspired by the articles within our digital pages.

As this is a new venture we’d really appreciate your feedback in Numero Capitan’s nationspace so don’t hesistate to be as constructive, praising, rude or obnoxious as you wish! Letters may be published in next issue if they are written in character (go on, be creative)

I hope you enjoy reading about our roleplay world as much as I do daily!

Helspania launches its long anticipated assault on Ryaz
World News

Article by Brian Schuster

It was inevitable that it would come and the tense situation in the North needed only a spark to set off an explosion in the region. The new Helspanian regime has scapegoated Ryaz for all its issues over the last few months and its intense military build-up met a crescendo following the murder of the Gevenian army leader. There are reports of substantial losses in the first skirmishes of this conflict following Chief Goebbels declaration of war.

The act has been met with a huge regional and even global reaction. Nippon strengthened its military presence in its former colony of Naum almost immediately amid safety concerns in the whole region. Superpower America threatened dire consequences if Helspanian ‘imperialism’ didn’t halt.

Both Virgothia and America have been working around the clock behind the scenes to strengthen their diplomatic positions in both states and it remains to be seen if either will be dragged into the conflict in anyway, although it seems likely that America will attempt to keep any violence to a minimum and will try to use its influence to calm the situation. Fast action will be required to prevent any more fierce fighting.

Gevena was rocked by several acts of terrorism following its declaration, plans which were likely to have been in place for some time but went unnoticed whilst Helspania was more worried by threats beyond its borders.

Keir Shishani with Henri Aspill, Helspanian Foreign Minister

Interview

Article by Keir Shishani
I’m here with Henri Aspill, current Foreign Minister of Helspania and a former CUO-agent in the country and one of the last members of his generation remaining. Currently a high up Nazi Baron commisioned the attack on the camps recently:

KS: Hello Henri, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed for the Independent. Now we're hearing reports of terrorist attacks in Gevena, can you confirm these?
HA: Yes, there was trouble in the aircamps however they have been caught and will be trialled by the end of the week.
KS: an you provide any figures as to casualties suffered?
HA: It is only 2, one of which was a terrorist caught in the runaway, the other was a guard who had fallen onto the bomb and when it detonated he was the only casualty.
KS: Ok, moving on, your government recently declared war on Ryaz and we're recieving reports that Helspanian forces have already crossed the border. Would you agree with commentators that precluding events made this declaration of war and subsequent invasion inevitable?
HA: Urm, next question.
KS: Why do you believe Helspania has a right to breach the borders of Ryaz and to kill its soldiers in their sleeping quarters?
HA: I would like to point out that the attack took place at 5 o'clock in the evening and that their laziness is not our fault. However I do believe in our right to attack a nation responsible for the murder of one of the icons of our nation.
KS: Does the Helspanian eviction of American forces mark a collapse in political relations or was this a strategic decision?
HA: I am afraid I may be in trouble if I answer this too deeply, but I think it is fair to say it was just in case war breaks out, and the deteriorating position in Ryaz.
KS: Understandable, finally, do you think Helspania can cope with the financial strain of war when your government has worked so hard to stabilise the economy?
HA: With the injection of Virgothian money I am sure we will do fine.

The Independent would like to thank Mr Aspill for our interview in his busy schedule and we thank him for his honesty on sensitive and current subjects.
