The Pharaoh would like to lessen Wales's fears stating that the long running Egyptian prosperity is reflected in the hearts of his citizens; and that they are among the happiest of the World. It is doubted that anything could bring about discontent in the Nile reqion.

Ambassadors returning from Rome, brought back astounding tales of the Roman recovery. The desperate conditions which were so prevalent in the Rome of old are all but gone. Dirt walls have been replaced by bricks, bread with cake, decrepid mines with reinforced tunnels, and copper with gold.

News of the publication of Egypt's Little Red Book has had profound implications upon the way in which we view the world. Indeed, many copies have found their way into Wales, and the Priests of the Welsh Presbyterian Church have fled into underground hiding.

Demsothenes was said to be shocked that such sentimental trip trap could have such a huge affect upon the world, but sensed that the wind of change had arrived, and immediately suspended parliament in order to undertake a full review of governing procedures in Wales.

As Wales has stated their theocracy has been disbanded. The TIC could not ascertain which form of government would replace it, three potential forms were theorized Democracy, Republic, and a form known as Fascism. It is not believe that the revolution in Wales was caused by the 'little red book' but rather by a work believed originally from Australia.

" We have been unable to attain the afformention book, yet we have recovered some panthlets." Said the Minister of the TIC, Ra Tebaan. He continued stating that, " The exact nature of the government (Fascism) is unclear, what is clear is that it is a heightened form of Nationalism, in which the state has complete control of the actions of it's people." Tabaan theorized that the only reason for entering this form of government was because of a certain elite form of army which it provided.

"From first glance it appears to be a reprehensible form of government" Said Prof. Isor Haspita of Alexandria University. " But since we do not have a full information, we cannot make a full statement as to it's nature."

Cairo has yet to give an official response, concerning the situation in Cardiff, but noted that the situation is being watched closely.

The Senate of Rome has been rocked by confirmation that the rest of the World is in a state of anarchy!!!

It would seem that our humble nation is the only stable government...

What has exacerbated this still further is that we have only just noticed that all other nations are either at alert status or war readiness! As a peaceful nation, this alarms us considerably - if sound diplomatic reasons are not forthcoming, we ourselves will be forced to put our armed forces on alert. This is of course purely a prudent defensive measure...

Rome hopes that there can be trust amongst the nations of this World and that the spectre of War that embraces us in her thick shroud can finally be banished...!

Turn 188 ==> Sophix

I find it somewhat intriguing that now of all times the Ambassadors of Egypt come to me with offers of mutual exchange.

What I find even more intriguing is what the Egyptians considor to be mutually beneficial. It has been made clear that the idea of Communism is looked upon with distaste by the Welsh, so why we would contemplate exchanging this knowledge for our ability to refine crude oil is beyond us.

We have made it abundantly clear, despite wanting to live in a peaceful world, that Wales is more than willing and capable of defending herself should the need arise. We have also made it abuntantly clear that we feel Egypt's recent policies are pushing ourselves in that said direction.

Could this strange Egyptian request be some form of test I wonder?

The High Counsel has met in Thebes to discuss the situation in Wales and Australia. It was decided that the Theocracy no longer provided the necessary conditions for Egypt especially given the rise of Fascism.

It is still unsure as to which way the people of Wales will take their nation. The elections are taking some time to fully complete, and results are sketchy, with no official confirmations in any of the districts.

The WISE note that Rome seems to be falling under the influence of the Little Red Book aswell. I do hope that the brave new world we are shaping is able to work together in peace and harmony.

Dear Citizens of Egypt:

Two listening posts were seized by the Egyptian Army today, and one other is set to be seized. We had never accepted these structures as legitimate; but Cardiff never chose the peaceful route of their ratification; instead they followed a more decietful path.

We had never considered these structures to be a justification for the people of Egypt to take up any but peaceful methods; but it became increasingly clear that Cardiff did not mean to live with peace with Egypt. As is apparent from the illegal founding of Newport; in that it is miles from Welsh territory and well within Egyptian territory.

These recent unlawful actions by the brown shirts of Wales, have intensified fears within Egypt. It became evermore clear that the clergy of Wales had left the ways of their peaceful religion to follow an ideology of Welsh supremacy. This would not concern Egypt if it were kept purely in the bounds of Wales; but a recent Welsh battle plan indicated their leaders intended to invade Egypt via a naval strike. The TIC guaranteed that this was not a contingency plan, but the main course of action planned by Wales.

Although the Welsh leadership may call the Egyptian manuevers offensive and unlawful; it was only a matter of time before the Welsh leaders launched their attack. We became increasingly aware that time was not on anyone side. In fact it was evident that to delay would be detrimental to the welfare of Wales herself; as Cardiff can never hope to reach the productive capacity of the citizens of the Nile. Her plan must be aborted now; in order to minimize the loss of life on both sides. The only way left open to Egypt entailed a preemtive strike on her government.

In order to deal with the problems facing the world; Egypt has enacted an emergency government. This government follows many of the precepts described in 'The Little Red Book'. But Cairo guarantees you will lose no sovereignty and that your living conditions will not deteriate during the emergency government.

And most importantly, let not your hearts fill with hatred toward the Welsh. For the common man of Wales, Would never have approved the actions of their tyranical government.

Osir Partha, Minister of Coordination.

It was with great shock and a heavy heart that Pro consul MOBIUS read the dusty despatch fresh from the Welsh/Egyptian front...

WAR!

First the entire World plunged into the gaping abyss of anarchy (Rome too has fallen foul...!), and now the touchpaper of this simmering powder keg between the World's two most powerful Empires has finally ignited!!!

Great Pharoah of the Eygptians, I call upon you now to withdraw your units for the sake of World peace - War was not the intention of the Roman peoples when a friendship was struck with your peoples...

Turn 190 ==> Sophix

And so, whilst the people of Wales are deciding in which way to modernise their government, the Communist attack! This has had a tremendous effect on the Welsh psyche, with a real deep seated hatred of the Egyptians now oozing to the surface of Welsh culture.

This in turn pushed voting dramatically in favour of a Fascist form of government, best suited to the Welsh repulsion of all things Egyptian.

Word on the street, as well as the polling booth, has delivered stark messages to the Welsh government as in policy direction from now on. Many believe that the Egyptians have been asking for this war, waiting and wanting it's outbreak, despite repeated calls for peace from Wales.

With our now up and running government, with our recently opened Oil Refineries, Welsh production should now rise to meet the demand.

We would call for peace, and a withdrawal from Welsh territory, but it is obvious that Egypt has never had any peaceful intentions all along. With the sinking of vagrant vessels of war, and Treacherous Diplomats executed, we hope that Egypt receives the message that we are not about to be pushed around!

Your troops in the Cymru-Egyptian mountain borders are surrounded and way outnumbered, and will not be allowed to retreat in peace.

Egypt has brought this upon herself, we can only call upon her satellite state of Rome not to follow this reckless and suicidal path.

The TIC throughily disproved the statement from Wales that the Egyptian action caused the rise of Fascism. As it is well known that in Wales it doesn't matter how the people vote, but who counts the vote.

The Egyptian Newpaper Guild signed an agreement not to publish battle news until a while after it happened as to deny the scheming Fascists an avenue of intelligence of which they so badly need

urn 191 ==> Sophix

The relentless advance of the tyrannical Communists continues. From both the North and South, hordes of troops, armed with Muskets, Cannons, and a misplaced faith in the virtues of Communism, march towards the tranquil land of the Welsh.

Preparation for these events had been started many years ago, when The WISE came into possession of Egyptian plans of invasion. In that time, all border towns were garrisoned up to the hilt, and their fortifications improved. Lines of transport between the interior production core of Wales and her externalities were greatly improved, allowing a quick and easy flow of heroic Welsh volunteers, eager to save their country from the Tyranny of Egypto-Communism.

An then came the assault, somewhat limited at first, probing the defences, cutting off early warning systems, whilst Wales was in the midst of transforming and modernising her means of governance.

This had a fateful impact upon Welsh psyche, and Fascism emerged as the dominate force in Welsh politics, forged upon the hatred of the Egyptian race and their cronies.

With Egyptian production now soaring to unprecedented levels, with a blatant disregard for the environment, both at home and abroad, Wales reacted by utilising the latest techniques in the refining of crude oil.

The new Fascist state, together with our lush and bountiful landscape, and our technologically advanced production systems, a new form of warrior was being sculpted.

The Fascists of Wales. A new breed of warrior, culturally, spiritually, physically stronger than anything offered from the Egyptians was born. This new breed of troop, with the purest of Welsh blood, was seen to be the elite force of a Fascist Wales. together with these new super-human troops, a rearguard was in the blueprint stages. The marines are coming...

While I have a moment to spare, I want to give you all advance notice.

I will be moving house after Friday October 20th. "Again? " I hear you all cry, yes, I'm afraid so. After moving from Newcastle back to my hometown of Birmingham, I'm now moving down to the Big Smoke, the Capital, London, where fortune and fame surely await me with baited breath

The details are a little sketchy at present, as this has all happened over the last 48 hours really, but in the last week of this month I shall be in London looking for a new home. "Looking? " I hear you cry, yes, I don't have a home or job sorted out as yet. My better half has got a transfer, and I will follow her wherever she goes, all else will fall into place at a later date.

I will update you on details as they are sorted, but I may well be unavailable for up to a week, and so subs may be required. All volunteers are welcome, I'm in the following games:

Egyptian Armies pressed forward into Wales today, no real resistance has been encountered yet. The Fascist are estimated to prove a minor problem, and the Egyptain security council admitted that they should have performed the strikes earlier. But as it is Egyptian nature to look to the best in man, they had hoped against the pile of evidence; that Wales was intending peace and waited til the last ray of peace was crushed beneath the Welsh storm troopers steel boot. Never again will Egypt be so trusting.

The Communists march on Lampeter, but citizens and military alike were prepared for the advance. The city walls, emblazoned with Cannon broke into action in the dawn sky, waking the city and the attacking forces with deafening thunderclaps as cannonball after cannonball was flung into the morning sky.

However, being a peaceful race at heart, the Welsh have not had to use these weapons for hundreds of years, not since we were last invaded by the Romans. Becuase of this, their aim was poor, but as the sun rose to full height, the Welsh aim was much improved, picking off a number of Egyptian battalions.

News quickly spread around the Fatherland, and the people of Wales rejoiced. We shall not be overcome!
