The Phonician republic is in danger.

Several cells of agitators - calling themselfes communists - has been traced down.

Others from universities round the nations claim for more democracy - but we have republic, and that's more that enough!

Even in my capitol, peoply goes in the streets, demanding a shorter workday. Agree, its high but my workers are well-paid.

One disgusting person has claimed my head on a spike - but he's not more on this earth.

My intention is to get this nation up among the three greatest on the world and no one - specially not one from my own nation - will be allowed to stop this.

In a mixed task, a phonician diplomat and a settler landed on the shores of a new island. Just to find the best lands occupied by the Spanish.

Our diplomat had his task changed - find out what the land behind the spanish cities consist of. The settler backed off - we do not want to offend the spanish bull by settle right outside their territory.

Dmocratic, republic and the so called communists are now fighting in the streets with sticks and stones. There's no civil war or anachy - not yet. But I'm prepared for that too.

Rumours abound that Phonecians goverment is in turmoil. We hope they realize that communism is reported to be a harsh goverment for its people. We will be watching the situation closely and hopes that the transistion is a smooth one.

After messages flying back and forth the Egyptian and Canadian goverment have come to an agreement over a parcel of land on our borders. We notice that land is getting scarce in some parts of the world we hope this doesn't cause any conflicts.

Several Phoenician communist agitators have been arrested in the city of Cairo. They say that their plans for overthrowing the Phoenician government have been hampered by democratic parties which they claim are supported by Egyptian undercover agents !
Egyptian authorities of course deny all knowledge of such actions.
When asked to the Egyptian's head of state, Maestro's first words were simply: 'No comment'.
On insisting, he assured the press that all this will have no influence on the stability of the Egyptian government.

Obviously taking advance of the temporary phonician weakness, spanish has send a diplomat demanding - I say demanding! - me to submit knowledge of communism.

I send him away - gave him the advice to seek Hasdrubal, as he knows more to that than I.

Seems like this traitor really are ready to spread this evil knowledge to the spanish - against some sort of repayment.

Ha! I say. The spanish don't know what they are doing.

Panic arose in the city of **** (censored) as the news spread that their globesat will not be finished on time. What worsens the situation is that our Spanish embassy completely failed to inform us that the Spanish are working on the globesat project. Some people asked to switch production (internet) to save the hard work already put into the project.

Seriously, I know the Spanish don't like the internet, but they don't seem to put many restrictions on what they are building themselves. Sine I entered this game, I haven't heard a single word from them. I think it is time they break with this tradition.


To the others: sorry for the delay. I just felt that I needed more time than the 10 minutes I had before going to work to play this turn. I will play when I get home, with or without Spanish feedback.

Internal affairs has delayed this message with at least 12 hours.

A spy - hopefull still reliable - has for some times walked around some spanish cities. Anarchy rages the spanish cities, he has informed me.

Seems like the knowledge, the spanish wanted so much, that they demanded it, has spread to their nation. Maybe faster than wanted.

On a secret place, a ship is prepared to take my son out - hopeful before the real anarchy also reachs us.

He might take over the governmnet of the phonicians at a later stage - if the nation still exist then.

More information later - if possible.

The Response of the Spanish Government to the World:

While internal affairs of Spain should be of no concern to the rest of the world, I will report unsettling times have come upon the people of Greater Spain. Many years under a democratic system of government has produced an environment that breeds political parties by the scores. All which believe they must be heard. The shear number of political voices has caused a din that has nearly paralyzed the Assembly of State. Alliances are formed and dissolved almost on an issue by issue basis. Only the perseverance of the bureaucratic machine has insured the day to day continuance of order for the citizens of Spain. Yet all major issues have become the football in the game of Spanish politics.

The Phoenician leader has mentioned the sudden change from the Agency project to the GlobeSat project. Again the politics of alliance has been at work. The Minister of Armed Forces brought together the Ultra-nationalist and the Greens, along with a number of pro-military minor parties, to change the project in mid-stream. This does not bode well for the conservative Republicans or the isolationist Communist, who wanted the defensive guarantees of the Agency.

The only thing I can say to the rest of the World is; this cannot last. Soon one party will emerge as dominant. But which one will it be? Could the Fundamentalist hold sway and bring coverts to the flock? Or, will the Greens emerge to put planet before production? Maybe the Communist will rise up to create a workers paradise? Or, will the Ultra-nationalist reign supreme and bring about their “New World Order”? Only time will tell.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

El Cid sat at his desk, contempating the events of these past few years. Though he held the title of First Citizen of Greater Spain, the real power rested with the Prime Minister. The elections had been close as always, but more minor party candidates were elected in this round of voting. So many that no major party could put together a solid coalition without another major. A knock broke his concetration.

The page entered and handed an envelope to El Cid. I bore two seals, that of the Presidente of the Citizen's Assembly and personal seal of the new Prime Minister. The second seal was very familiar, the crossed axe and pick of the deLeon family. More precisely Roberto deLeon, Minister of Armed Forces.

"How can this be?" El Cid said.

The page nervously responded, "the Greens, First Citizen, Minister deLeon has given them control of all ministries except the Armed Forces."

El Cid dismissed the page. He then contemplated; the Greens, there is nothing more dangerous than a tree hugger in a postion of power. And now we have a whole cabinet of them running Greater Spain. At least Roberto had sense enough to not give them guns.

My som has slipped away and is safe. Now I just have to wait for news.

My god! Something is terrible wrong. I hear shooting nearby. Think I must leave immediately. No they are here. Already. Oh Didi, you died as our son, Hamilcar, was born. Named after his grandfather. Now the time has come, when I shall follow.

I see him - Hasdrubal. My most trusted general and my brother. And 2 more I have never seen before. It's over............ (the sound of one shot sounds through the office and eccoes down the corridor).


Communique from the Phoenician Military HQ:

Our dear leader and brother Hannibal has suddenly disappeared.

Due to unrest overall in the nation - I, Hasdrubal, commander in chief - has no choice than take command over all military units. While I and the National Guard restore peace and order, I have allowed the senate well deserved vacance.

All treaties signed by Hannibal will of course be respected.

Communique from the Phonician HQ:


General Hasdrubal has pronounced himself First Citizen during this period of anachy, that rages the nation.


The body of our dear brother Hannibal has been found. It seems like he has shot himself during an attack of depression.

Peace be with his soul.


Pollution seems to be a major issue of the spanish since they demand us to reduce it.

The current political situations does, that we cannot stand up against a demand, therefore it was accepted. Anyway, the phonician people don't pollute, so this is nearly a "free" diplomatic step.

What the future situations will bring, that will be another matter.


Most people seems to more than accept, that the folish senate has been send home. Some - rather overjoyed comrades - has been sent to jail to cool off. We does not have that babarian habbit to shorten people by their neck, just because they use humor and might be a little drunk. I can live with that.


Also, I'm pleased to announce, that a new tech has been introduced to the people. This is supposed to substitute the old habbit that some - rude expression maybe - call "F*** and Pray". Now it should be called "Plug and Play". Virgins as well as young women are welcome to join these games with my armymen.

There is sufficient families to ensure, that the phonician nations will grow.

Besides the nation cannot afford to take care of too many children, who do not have a father to supervise them in thier military education.


Edit: a little more just for fun.

Egypt officially condems the way Hasdrubal has taken power. However, since we also have made commitments, we have instructed the delegation that will attend the state funeral of Hannibal to also talk to the new leader Hasdrubal.
A group of artists already started working on a magnificent statue in the honour of the great leader Hannibal of the Phoenicians.

It is only very short since greens took over Spanish government, and already they have started to play their role as 'police of the world'.
A delegation arrived at Cairo, demanding we should reduce pollution.
Prime minister Maestro, accepted reluctantly.
The minister of defence stated his usual protest :
'Naye sire, the defence of our cities takes precedence !'
Egyptian captains of industry also stated their protests :
'We simply cannot trust these tree-huggers. We all know they use other weapons then guns to fight. What are we going to do when one of them releases one of their cursed nano-viruses on one of our cities, simply because he thinks we did not put enough effort into reducing pollution ?'
The problem is, they are both right.

Also, it will be very difficult to convince the Egyptian people of all the negative effects of pollution, as they have never experienced the sickening situations that have led to the green revolution in Spain.

As he looks into the mirror, Maestro notices a few strings of grey hair. So, the worries have finally got to him. Either that, or he is just growing old.

This news comes from the office of German leadership.

Listed as the weakest nation on a recent report, it is time for Germany to re-evaluate our current situation. The road networks are incomplete, outdated, and in need of serious repair. Many cities cry for more modern fisheries. The minister of defence, cries for more support daily. The needs are many and I will be calling my councel together for a week long series of meetings. The German people deserve better, and new elections will also be occuring in Germany soon. Current leadership is nervous and thus rushing to fix the inner problems.

Germany has remained in good standing with all nations of the world, and will continue their policy of peaceful actions and cooperation.

Anarchy is still ruling the nation.

Now time has come to really restore order. Troops from The National Guard has surrounded the rest of Hannibals elite.

A couple of my agitators has raised the crowd in 3 cities. They are celebrating all day long. Soon they have forgot everything of "good old days".

When they get sober, I have a surprise for them. 18 month in a military camp! 12 month for women. And only 9 for those, who is willing to produce babies (new soldiers for my glorios army).

Message from Comrade Hasdrubal to leaders of the world:

A new order has come to the Phoenician people. The old senate has been dissolved for good.

A new election will be arranged soon.

Cities of Phoenicia will soon be renamed to show proper respect for the phoenician history.

Military education will from now have much more attention from the government. Obsolute troops will be withdrawn, trained and given new equipment.

Only diplomats from foreing countries will be tolerated in phoenician territory without being agreed uppon first.

A great navy is being build to secure phonician waters.

To attract some more money, I have ordered the building of a national amusement park. It will be very costly. A problem is, that we got to be the first, if we want international investments in this great project.

Put an end to popups!

After years of hard work, the sad loss of his dear and beloved friend Hannibal has finally got the better of Maestro, leader of the Egyptians.
He was brought to hospital in critical condition.

As nobody believes he will ever return, different factions fight for dominance.

The delegation, returning from negotiations with Hasdrubal, brought no conclusive evidence on the circumstances of Hannibal's death.
They did note one thing though :

'Hasdrubal shouldn't drink so much. He will end up looking like a Jeltsin.'
