| A DMZ STRONGMAN MAKES A STATEMENT |
| "If you are cheap outfit trying to do Vladevania business without paying all you fees, the company formerly headed by departed Gortix Aquitaine, either go away from my family's turf or else let this be a lesson how to do business right here. You run a store, you pay we protect you. You buy materials, you pay our fees. You get kidnapped, you pay so we help get you back. We a multi-service organization. We even can collect taxes for government. You understand now? The Mister Dembislav, Headman." |

| These words came from the letter received by the Northerly Kraj Indusustries representative in DMZ. The same letter went to the firm's headquarters in Haromszek. The name of Dembislav is closely associated with a murder of a foreign businesman Gortix Aquitaine, which happened last week. Although Dembislav is wanted now by both, Haromszek and Vladevania he laughs in the face of both. There is no serious political or administrative power in DMZ except his power and the power of a few mafia leaders of the region. Mika is a criminal in the eyes of the authorities. Suprisingly, though many common people of Sygetul are speaking passionetely in his defence. One old lady has told our reporter the following: "Mika is a hero! My son was killed by the UFUR during the war and nobody came to help untill Mika brought their prisoners to rebuild my house and then hanged that scum by the cemetery. He was the only one to cause realistic harm to the occupants." A wood cutter from the Northern Kraj Industries who asked for anonimity said: "Haromszek is cutting our woods and uses our force paying peanuts. If somebody gets injured there is no coverage for the family. Nobody replants the cut trees which results in the floods in spring. Mika did a right thing for showing them their place in DMZ." Others are not as optimistic and claim that the two year rule of Dembislav family in Sygetul have turned the place into a transit point for underground slavery and drugs. Sygetul and other towns are not as safe as they were before thewar, that is an opinion of many. |

| ZIRKAE'S NEW TRAIN |
| A new train was launched for tests in Komsomol. If the reports are correct, this is a train that the world has not seen before. According to the article in Komsomol Times News: "The new wireless system used also for safety devices will make it able to travel with speeds up to 360 km/h, where without them only a mere 280 km/h was possible." This is definetely a big step in railroad industry which is as important for Vladevania as it is for Zirkae since most of Vladevanian communications are designed for the railroads. |
| RAJANAN DIPLOMIZES WITH SUCCESS AMID AFFLUANCE |
| Carolina has been succesfully developing the diplomatic relationships with Rajanan. All the talks have been very fruitfull although a bit stretched. The fortunes of Rajanan have made it popular for the new diplomatic relations accross the world. Vladevania, however at this point drags behind since it can not possibly measure up with a country which can outdo an annual Vladevanian GDP with the one's it one month span. Despite Rjanan's visible economic wellbeing, one cannot help wondering how can a royal family be able to afford such a lavish lifestyle. Royal yachts and the restored palces do not come for free. Yet, there seems to be no notions of Rajanan public worrying about high taxes or any other monetary restrain. Many Vladevanians wonder if their own goverment will be ever able to produce such wealth in their country. |
