United Islands

On this blog I tell the stories of the nations of Spuro, Bouganvilla, Racao, and Thuristan. If you like fantasy nations but don't enjoy the hustle and bustle of interplanetary politics, these small island nations on a small world may be just right for you. So check out United Islands at unitedislands.blogspot.com

Several Cenaci Homeless Families Surprised

Kyn Tucin showed up at several homeless shelters on Cenaci and distributed food, clothes, and toys to the families there. Tucin said he had a "commitment to ensuring the welfare of all Cenians". He purchased all items with his own money. 

Merry Christmas!

All people of Ceni celebrate Christmas, or Hrimast in Splak, to spread cheer and give their families many presents.  So have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  

Senate Approves Treaty of Waterloo

In a move today the Senate ratified the Treaty of Waterloo 53-52, with 55 abstentions. The Treaty of Waterloo would establish the Universal Pact. However, many senators were unhappy about the 25% of revenue part, and voted no or abstained. Many of the 55 senators who abstained were happy about the rest, but not about the 25% of revenue part.

Vandals of Cenaci Caught

Multiple vandals who drew graffiti on several buildings as well as toilet-papering trees in parks were caught today. Clinton Asuncion, Guy Steigerwald, and Kurt Schreckengost will be fined around $2500 each and will have to clean up the messes they made. Asuncion, Steigerwald, and Schrekengost's vandalism spree lasted for 6 months and was directed at their enemies at school and liberal-filled government offices.

Coup d'Etat Fails

A coup d'etat on Kyn Tucin by Allan Debord has failed. Troops loyal to Tucin smashed the coup by Dictatorship Party Members. Former Jacobian leader Darcy Odwyer brought in a regiment of Jacobian troops but they were arrested at the border crossing or were stunned on Cenaci and brought in for questioning. Allan Debord was arrested by police forces and will no longer be running in the election for chancellor on charges of treason. The coup was highly disorganized and the aim was to overthrow Kyn Tucin to set up a Dictatorship Party regime. The Dictatorship Party is highly unpopular.
