Western Vapia's Parliament Votes for Colonial Autonomy Bill

(Rome, Western Vapia) - The Parliament of Western Vapia has voted for a colonial autonomy after the Liberals managed a 166 vote majority. The bill will allow the colonies to elect their own governor, rather than having one appointed by the Monarchy.

A few weeks ago, the bill was introduced to the Parliament, given that colonies could not really act in their own interests.

The Monarchists and the Socialists voted against the bill, arguing that autonomy would take power from the King, or that autonomy would not bring about socialism in the Empire. However, despite a group nationalists in the Liberal party voting against the bill, the Liberals managed to squeeze a 166 vote majority, allowing the law to be passed.

Kaya Yoyoi, the Head of the Kyoki Chudoku Air Force, gave a negative view on the matter:

“As did most of us Chudokurens, I fought in the Nightmare War. That gave us all insight into the terrors of conflict and the importance of duty and responsibility. We honour our fallen, including the brave Densetsu and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for ours. Because of this, I am saddened, almost outraged, at the total disrespect Vapians have displayed for their leader. Benito Mussolini was killed by assassins, and instead of make a reasonable effort to track down and apprehend such treacherous and dangerous criminals, the nation instead elected to become a democratic desecration of his every belief and desire. And now they wish to further the chaos in their ranks. This is unacceptable, and I am certain that the Vapian government will feel the disastrous impacts of these choices very soon.”

Rynese Empire Advances Technologically

(Könisberg, Rynese Empire) - Robots are something that everyone is fascinated or terrified of. We've seen Rouge AIs in movies, killing machine androids, and so forth. We have also of course seen the lighter side of the mechanical creations, including, but not limited to Wall-E and other happy flicks. Of course, this is all in movies, and no one has truly come close to creating something that level or intelligence. That is, until recently. In the Rynese Empire, it would seem that Aperture Science had been working since 2032 to create androids. They seem to have been successful, showing off the Unit 1 Model A and the Unit 1 Model be, or simply 1A and 1B. They were unveiled at a tech expo in the nation. As of now, it's unknown what they will be used for, but many state-owned and private companies seem to have stock in them, some notable examples being SecuRoam and DSR Security. They have an interest in using them as guards and other security purposes.
Of course, whenever a tech of this level comes out there is conspiracy theorist who claim that the robots were created to take down the Government and install the purchasing companies in the new Regime, or that the robots are secretly being used as military assets or even as sleeper agents placed in other nations that can activate at the flick of a switch. We talked to the head researcher Wilhelm on the project about the claims, who said that

"Well, the Automata Programme does not really have an end goal, much less a reason to build Automatas. They are as free as humans to dedicate themselves to whatever they want, be it the military or anything. To be perfectly honest, these claims, though with reasoning, are false; Automatas are a passion project, one that has its own mind."

Of course, military applications are still something to look at, though it does not seem that this project was meant for military use. Rather, seeing what you can do with the power of the human mind and how far you can push development. Reporting from Seattle, Tanabon, I'm Richard Mallard. SNN.

"12 Days of Zazumo" Becomes #3 on World Rankings for Nonfiction Literature

(Aerilia City, Aerilia) - The books "Anne Frank; The Diary of a Young Girl" and "The Bible" have still the top spot in the world rankings for Non-fiction literature. However, a new book has taken the stage. Most recently, an Australian writer named Cheese Pizza from Aerilia wrote a book on how the whole nation of Zazumo is made up of nerds.

Of course, anyone with eyes can see that all Zazy people are indeed nerds, responsible for the nerd war, and are puppets of the Zazy government. Along with this, it included Zazy leader, the Doctor's, diary entries as well. "12 Days of Zazumo" is an actual work of art.

Many things were found out through the publishment of this book. "Some months later Zazumo bribed the MoD enough times to be able to take his officer test ⁽⁷⁾". This proves that the commander of the Zazy Army bribed many to be able to become an officer of the highest army in the North Pacific lands.

This book has sold over 19 million copies throughout the lands of Strangereal. Through the small Aerilian Island lies the major ports like Magicality City and Aerilia City. Zazumo lies somewhere that will not be disclosed. The nation of Aerilia still has bragging rights over the funniest nonfiction book of all time that cannot be competed with. Cheese Pizza had decided to release a statement in the next issue.
