Today Emperor Jodo appeared before the press to address the issue of expansion. We bring you to this event live!

Emperor Jodo: "As many are aware, the recent conflicts within the region have drained and tapped our resources. Our fleet is in disrepair, and our troops injured and on their way home. The nation as a whole has been hit hard by the conflict, and must find a way to recover somehow. To our nations east are a series of islands that are currently unclaimed and uninhabited. These islands are overflowing with resources, fertile land, and space for our ever growing population. Today, I ask the international community for permmision to annex these islands. After recent events, I do not wish to cause even more stress within the Asian community or world as a whole."

In related news, The Assassination Army forces have completed the total withdrawl from Eastern Empire lands today as promised. All forces have since returned to their home ports, and the wounded have been returned home for some much needed rest. Of the numerous familys who have lost loved ones, Emperor Jodo continues to meet each individually and express his gratitude for the familys ultimate sacrifice as well as his condolences.

Let us be the first to openly support this move by the Assassination Army. Truly becuase of us we have cause great dismay within your nation, so not only do we support it, but are perpared to offer 5 billion neoyen to construct facilities on these islands to house people and grow crops. We hope this can be a further step for us the in the great healing process.

The Emperor of Kiru Tao recognizes the resources the Assassination Army needs to recover. Speaking for the entire nation, Kiru Tao has no qualms about the AA taking the uninhabited lands for their needed recovery.

Emperor Jodo is pleased that the international community has been so receptive thus far. We are also extremely pleased with the Eastern Empires generous offer of 5 billion neoyen, but we will politely decline. The gesture alone is enough to encourage a token of friendship between our two nations.

We are pleased that our offer was well recieved and even though is was declined we still ofer help not matter what the request. We hope that through the embassy created to watch over our government, can be used also to create great diplomatic relations between us and the rest of Asia. We say now as we will always say as long as we hold power, Asia has a friend in the Eastern Empire.

With no objections thus far to the annexation of the eastern islands into Assassination Army control, Emperor Jodo has begun to set into motion the plans to build, colonize, and control the islands. A Naval base is expected to be built for protection, as well as a large University/resort for the ever growing students of the nation. Emperor Jodo has dedicated several billion Rupees to the University project in hopes that new technologies can be discovered and improved upon. One of the larger islands is also expected to be turned into a national preserve for the Golden Hawk, the rarest of Hawks located in the Assassination Army. The Entire Island is to be off limits and strictly for Hawks use only. The remainder of the land will be divided up as needed for living space as well as agriculture in an attempt to revive the nations floundering Beef-Based Agriculture.

So long as there are no major objection, this project is expected to commence within the next few days.

Emperor Jodo gave the OK to begin the annexation of the new islands today. Once placed under the nations control, military forces will begin construction of the basic needs for the people. Power, clean water, and shelter will be supplied on behalf of the military. Food shall be imported from the mainland until agriculture in the new region have caught up to speed and begun to supply the local populace.

The Assassination Armys working fleet of 20 ships/transports surrounded the islands, and began to distribute workers in pre-located areas to accomplish these goals. In honor of his daughter, he has named the islands: The Lucent Islands. Samantha Lucent was unavailable for comment, as she is busy with Asian Union affairs at the moment.

Jodo: "Now that these islands are firmly under Assassination Army control, we can begin the swift recovery of our nation. My people, I invite you to vist the Lucent Islands and rejoice. Go, build your homes and begin a new life if you wish. There shall be plenty of food, and space for everyone. Already, many Agricultural based jobs are to be found there, as well as the new University!"

-cheers-

Jodo: "The University will be available to all, in an effort to give our children the bright future they deserve!"

Today much of the Lucent Islands are under construction. Massive efforts are being made to set up hospitals, schools, police and fire facilities as well as the newest naval base. Even the University, which has yet to be named is under massive construction. Deadlines all state that the construction will only be a matter of months before the entire Island series are built up to Assassination Army standards. As was promised, land has been set aside for the national bird: The Golden Hawk. Animal rights groups that have been petitioning are finally begginging to relent.

A massive contract has been up for bid for weeks now in an attempt get ferry/boating companys interested in the number one spot as the Assassination Army national ferry. Several in country companys have placed bids, some as high as Two Million Rupees in an attempt to sway the government. The previous ferry system isnt enough to continually transport the numerous cars, busses, and heavy equipment. More details to follow on that shorty.

With the sudden increase in jobs and the economy on the rise, The Assassination Army is vast approaching the state it was in, prior to the war. Some experts believe that as a nation we will surpass that goal, and continue to grow at a trendous rate.

Assassination Army armed forces have begun recruiting again in massive numbers. Training is at an all time high, with promises towards college credits, extra pay, and increased promotion rates are all attracting the nations youth. Fuel rationing has gone back to the norm as well.

OOC: Yea. I mentioned it a few times, but not that often. I figured that since im an Island based nation, it would be a bit harder to get regular oil/fuel. No worries though, im having the economy come back strong. I'll prolly RP a weaker military for a while though. Just for something to do. =P

Today, Emperor Jod was pleased to announce the official Alliance with Van Demans Land. After long talks, the two nations finally signed the agreement to support one another.

Emperor Jodo: "After long debates within my advisors, We have agreed to sign this treaty with Van Demans Land in hopes of strengthening our position within the Asian region, as well as relations with Van Demans Land. We believe that this will help bring to our nation increased resources, cash, and stability. While many of my advisors urge me to consider this a 'testing period' withVan Demans Land, I have a feeling this will be a long and prosperous relationship between both of our nations."

In other news, The build up of the Lucent Islands is nearing completion. Such a rapid pace of work has ensured that the infrustructure needed to move people to the area has been completed. The newest naval base is also nearing completion and is expected to begin massive construction efforts to increase the Assassination Armys navy is size and strength. Plans to build an Assassin class battleship, rumored to be among the worlds finest designs, is schedualed to begin when the base is complete and fully manned.

This has been an Assassin News Services update.

Recent unrest has been a topic debated within the chambers of the Imperial Palace as of late. Several wars seem to be brewing, allies at each others throughts, and general unrest even at home is rampant. In light of these events Emperor Jodo has decided to begin a massive re-armament and upgrade of all existing Assassination Army forces.

Emperor Jodo: "We feel that this approach is one of the better ideas we have to continue to protect our boarders, people, and allies. I would like to be the first to announce that the first Assassin class battleship is now fully manned, operational, and ready to move at a moments notice from the the Imperial Cities port. Also, the AAS Striker, the flagship of our fleet has also, after extensive rebuilding is operational once more. Our fleets and armies are now just as strong, if not stronger than they were prior to the War of the Dead Salmon.

Our missle base, with a complement of 30 nuclear missles west of the Imperial city is also fully manned and operational. These ICBM's ensure our survival in these turbulent times."

Massive training and re-arming is occuring all around the Assassination Army, with the Navy, and ground forces cooperating in joint exercises to increase effectivness. Also new to the Assassination Army ground forces is the implementation of Special Forces Sniper teams. Mock Amphibious assaults, and dummy training has been sighted within the Lucent Islands with these new teams. The Sniper teams are said to have a varient of the older .50 cal barret rifles used years ago. It is unknown what the specific specs of these new rifles are, as the details were not shared with this reporter.

Several new 'stealth' aircraft are also said to be in development. The nations brightest minds are coming togehter at the new University on the Lucent Islands to form a think tank to tackle this newest problem. A prototype has already entered the testing phase, but with the numerous bugs... it is unlikely that they will see service for a long while.

This has been a A-N-S update.

((OOC: Meant to post this a 2 days ago. Forgot about it. Sorry CE! ))


Today 15,000 troops were called to active duty. Special forces, all of a Catholic background have been requested to re-arm, re-supply, and head out to support the Catholic Europe. Fully armed and highly trained, these forces are expected to meet up with CE forces within a matter of days. Several Destroyers are escorting the forces until they reach CE waters.

This move surprised many Native AA citizens. When questioned, Emperor Jod had this to say: "It is no surprise that we have many different religions within our boarders. Also, some of our closest allies have shown support of Catholic Europe, and we feel that we should also investigate and support these nations. The troops are on loan for CE use as of today in an effort to bring our nations closer together and bring forth future good standings between us. As a major power in Europe, where we have little to no influence, we in the Imperial Palace feel it is about time to make friends in other regions to help support ourselves."

Small arms, explosives, and several Highly trained and newly created Sniper teams are accompanying the 15k force to the CE boarder where they will then be place under CE control.

It may, it may not. As I said, at this point it is to gain relations in Europe. CE is a large and powerful nation, much more so than I am. And as we all know, it can help to have friends in high places. Not to mention that he is relatively undefended against the other nations located there from what I understand.

((And also, I havent figured out what im going to do religion wise for my nation yet.))

The small detachment sent to escort the 15,000 troops on loan to Catholic Europe, returned home today. Shortly before major blockade of the Suez Canal, the Assassination Army fleet had left the area. The AA troops are said to be seeing combat within Europe as we speak. No word on casualties as of yet.

Jodo: "These troops were born for combat. They have trained for occasions such as this, and is a good opportunity to see how well we stand in relation to other governments. This is CRITICAL in todays world, one that seems to change on a day to day basis. We send our best wishes to Catholic Europe, and pray that our small amount of forces will help them out."

In other news, the nations military has been on standby for many weeks now. Re-fits and re-arming have been taking place at rapid speeds as factories produce the required supplys. Even the nations Navy is swelling with extra men/women as new ships enter service.

Earlier today, Emperor Jodo announced that the recent outbreak across the world has become his number one priority. "Our nation has been lucky thus far in not contracting this plague. As a result, I have sent out messages to fellow nations offering our aid in evacuation. One such nation has responded. The Eastern Empire is being devastated by the plauge, and rebellion. As of right now, Im calling forward 20,000 Assassination Army troops to help the government of the Eastern Empire in restoring order, and to distribute medical supplys."

Following the speach, several transports and destroyers have geared up and set sail for the Eastern Empire's boarders. A hospital ship fully loaded with supplys, and biohazard suits were said to have left with the convoy.

Emperor Jodo made a public appearence today at the Imperial City's shipyards. Once there, he greeted troops and workers. When asked about rumors of an inspection he was quoted: "Its true, Im conducting an inpection today. But that shouldnt stop the fact that our troops and moral are also an important priority." His daughter was also among those attending.

In other news, record sales were reached in many major cities today. Experts claim that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as trade and the approaching holidays have improved the local economy.

And now we go live to the Imperial City zoo, where the Golden Hawk is expected to give birth for the first time in captivity...

.:And now for a Special Report:.

In recent months, crime has been a problem along the Porto Santo boarder. Vagrants, murderers, and the fleeing populace has been swarming into Assassination Army lands. On orders from Emperor Jodo himself, the military has begun operations to turn away the refugees until a more suitable solution has been found.

"With Porto Santo in a state of chaos, and the government nowhere to be seen, we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands. We are becoming irritated with the lack of response from Porto Santo, and their disreguard for their citizens. Due to lack of space and housing for these refugees the worst of them will be placed into facilities where they can be cared for. They will be allowed to request for asylum if they wish. The majority will unfotunatly be turned away for the time being until we are prepared to house them.

It is also with great unease that we feel that if Porto Santo cannot change her ways, and the government does not come back we will be forced to take control of their lands and assets. Its a regretable decision, but we cannot leave these people to be alone and under such terrible conditions."

.:War Declared on Porto Santo:.

"Our pleas towards the nation of Porto Santo have gone unanswered. The government has forgotten its people, and its military has collapsed. The lack of law and order has spread from the nation like an illness. And like all illness's It must be cured! Let me explain.

Earlier today a group of armed civilians from the Porto Santo lands tried to infiltrate our boarders. Our military personel requested that they turn back, and when they werent heeded, fired a round above their heads. These citizens of Porto Santo have returned fired! Sadly, a great soldier died in the exchange. But his life will not be in vain! I've placed our military along our boarders on high alert, along with a army of over 400,000 troops. These troops will wipe out the failing government of our enemy, and restore order in the Assassination Army name!"

As a last warning, Emperor Jodo has given the government 24 hours (not real time) to show some attempt at communication and semblence of order. If these demands are not met, any and all armed Porto Santo citizens will be treated as militia and terrorists.

.:Porto Santo Secured:.

~Assassin News Services~

Today marked the end of major hostilities in the former nation of Porto Santo. Now, with these lands under Assassination Army rule the citizens of both nations can rest easy.

Emperor Jodo: "It was something we needed to do. Now that we control the remaining island and have repelled the Eastern Empire, we can focus on more important matters such as the war in Europe, and assisting Norightsia in the ongoing struggle against the Eastern Empire."

Reporter: "What of the rumors that the Eastern Empire is simply trying to ruin the Assassination Army's good name?"

Jodo: "While its true that they did slander our name with their lies, and attempt to fake a Porto Santo government... we of course knew better. Our allies stuck with us, and in the end I believe the point is moot."

Reporter: "Will we be continuing our efforts against the Eastern Empire right away?"

Jodo: "No. Not at the immediate moment. War was never declared against the Eastern Empire, though we certainly have no love for them at the moment either. Our immediate concern is the war in Europe, and our Catholic allies."

Reporter: "What of the rumors that you were thinking about applying for the Holy League? Is the Assassination Army a steadfast Catholic ally now?"

Jodo: "We of course have been friendly towards the Catholic nations for the past few years. Many have the same values as we do, and I believe that we can come to an agreement. But, for the moment I will not be applying for the Holy League. We will continue to stick with our Norightsian ally, and simply look into the matter. No further questions."

A short, but to the point news meeting with the Emperor. But, his questions have left many wondering... why all of a sudden has the Assassination Army taken a more aggressive stance toward the international community, especially with the Eastern Empire and her allies? If the Assassination Army were to apply for membership in the Holy League, would we be accepted even though a meer 58% of the population was Catholic?

Also, many in the upper military ranks are calling for action against the Eastern Empire. Thus far, the Emperor has denied all requests and has simply let them retreat back home. This lack of action has many wondering about the Emperor's true intentions in the days to come.
