I thought I'd start this up, this is the thread for you to post news about things happening in your country which is NOT Buzzjack song contest related, like sports, Politics, Celebrity sightings that kind of thing. You could also post about what kind of tv shows are being aired in your country (like reality tv shows or soaps or anything). Also post here about what music charts in your countries look like, what people are mostly buying etc.
Basically this is for all of your countries happenings that isn't part of the song contest. I think this might help with getting to know countries more too.

You know.....I don't want to be the only using this , has no country got any pressing news they want to share? No scandals? No presidents having affairs with Secretaries? No Earthquakes?
I was going to do an update on the people that entered the Dalisskan Big brother house yesterday but I'm not sure if I will mostly because I'm not sure if anyone's actually interested in it. I have 7 small Housemate Bio's prepared, I might do the others tommorrow. The first bio's are a bit stale but I think I got into it a bit more when I went along.
Wall-E the Robot has been spotted around 'Kentish Town' the Shadowan capital, it is believed he hopes to use the country's BJSC 9 entrant, Margaret Berger, in a promotion for his new film.

Terrorist attack in Osnesia!
A bomb went-off in a university in Osnesia, the capital of Tinnmark today! 68 people are confirmed dead and over 80 people are hurt! The prime minister Torkil Johnsen declare the next three days for "national mourning". All schools will be closed down these three days of mourning. No one know exactly who is standing behind the terrible attack at Osnesia University! The police and the T.A.I (Terror Attack Investigation) suspect that a student from Osnesia is standing behind the attack as they are investigation the university! This is the worst loss of people since the Buzzjack World War II from 1956-1959 when over 1 500 000 tinnish people lost their lives!
This is what the prime minister said to TV Tinnmark:
"This is a sad day for all Tinnish people, my deepest thoughts goes to the families and friends of the victims. But Tinnmark is a strong country!! We will stand strong throw this sad time! the next three days will our nation stand still, in a national mourning to the victims, their family and friends, and the students of Osnesia University! We will stand strong, we will stand strong!! God bless us all"
Nuchet Vid Kopeček
In wake of the news of the terrorist attack upon Osnesia yesterday, Chancellor Cermet Karasol yesterday pledged 'full allegiance' to Tinnmark and promised to 'aid Tinnmark in such a manner that the perpetrators of this ghastly attack can be brought to justice'.
Chancellor Cermet Karasol yesterday put off his first visit to neighbouring country Bhangra, with official sources claiming that a 'family emergency' has prevented the visit. However, prominent blog 'Germet', which has been noted for its strong anti-Karasol stance, yesterday reported that the Chancellor was overheard as saying that he 'couldn't stand those depots in Bhangra', although these claims have yet to be verified.
The Eledanese border last night was subject to controversy after an apparent attempt to smuggle immigrants across the border. The border has been subject to breaches recently in the wake of the Eledanese economic crisis which has as yet not influenced the Kopecek economy.
GaGa in Hub Gig
Lady GaGa kicked off her representation of Torchwood in BJSCX last night with a performance in the Torchwood Hub in the capital city Cardopia. Thousands of fans gathered to see the show, which was kicked off by Prime Minister Jack Darkness. GaGa ran through several of her hits including Just Dance (The song she represented MKL with in BJSCXII), Beautiful Dirty Rich and Love Game and of course finished the night with Poker Face. The song has gone down remarkably well in Torchwood, with iTunes Torchwood Downloads allready sending GaGa to #3 in the Torchwoodian Charts, allready above the peak of any other BJSC Entry (the highest being Sneaky Sound System, peaking at #12). This will surely go ever higher as the contest continues and is tipped to be one of the biggest songs Torchwood have ever seen....

Nuchet Vid Kopeček
The border dispute between Kopečka and Bhangra intensified last night after Bhangrese trops entered the breakaway region of West Sotesia, an area which Kopečka has long claimed belongs to them. The crisis comes at a time when Kopeček-Bhangrese relations have reached an all-time low, with Chancellor Cermet Karasol quoted as referring to the Bhangrese government as 'a bunch of despots'.
A trade agreement between Kopečka and Eledan has been finalised after speculation that the recent economic crisis within Eledan would lead to a last-minute pull-out. The Chancellor of the Kopečquer has released a press statement claiming that the agreement is 'in the best interests of both our nations', and that Kopečka will 'help aid Eledan through this tough time'. The trade agreement has opened trade borders between the two countries, and the Chancellor has stated that he hopes this deal will put an end to the illegal smuggling across the border of commercial goods.
Kopek-Ash Link confirmed
Ashton's Government today confirmed that it had signed a free trade agreement and military alliance with Kopečka. Buzzjack's two remaining economic powerhouses signed a deal to support each other during the global credit crunch and against military threats.

Political Changes for Ashton?
After a recent uprising against current Prime Minister Jayener Hawthe, the President/Dictator Phil has revolutionised the Ashtonise political landscape in a bid to give Ashtonise citizens more say in the running of their country. Previously the President chose the PM who looked after the day to day dull stuff of the country but now a full parliament has been introduced.
The new parliament is to be housed within Ashton House (Tallest building in Morepeth Cove's Regina Governa d'Centric also known as RGC near the City Centre.)
The new extensions to the high rise building will house offices for the Members of Parliament who are to be elected by democratic means.
Each of Ashton's 9 States have been divided into constituencies and there are to be 928 seats in the parliament.
There are 4 main political parties at time of writing.
The Liberal Party of Ashton - Want full democracy and the land that Botanikka currently lies on. Least supported party of the 4
The Ashton National Party - Currently in power.
Political Party of Sanvoria - Main party of the west coast, strong political ties with the ANP
Janslic Motovicania Faywi l'Governa - Popular within Saynher Janslic (Fotherington Island)
Elections are scheduled to take place on Friday.
Dictator Phil is to continue to veto every law, rejecting and amending those he does not like. He shall also continue to impose his own laws.
The country shall be adjusting it's official name from 'Ashton' on friday to formally take the name of 'Demicrata Republique d'Ashton'. It will continue to be known as Ashton for BJSC entries.
Ashton is not expected to change it's infamous immigration laws which has seen 0 illegal immigrants within the country for the past 6years. Periodic searches, heavy penalties and tight legislation make it impossible for employers to use illegal workers. Ashton is also not expected to change it's stance over environmentalists, but did admit that all public transportation runs on Natural Gas, which emits zero emissions.
Governa Republique d'Ashton recorded a budget surplus of $153,123.223billion (Ashtonise Dollars) roughly Ł982,532.209trillion (UK Pounds)

Nuchet Vid KopeÄŤka
President ÄŚermet Karasol today appointed the head of the ISCBK Trashe Svantselius as Chancellor of KopeÄŤka, in a move many commentators have perceived as a compromise in the wake of the failed coup d'etat last Monday, which is heavily rumoured to have been the doing of Sr. Sventselius. Chancellor Svantselius has announced he will continue in his role as head of the ISCBK, the KopeÄŤek internal selection committee for the BJSC.
A proposed Eledanese economic stimulus failed today after the Chancellor of the KopeÄŤquer Lili Stromberg announced that 'the economic situation within KopeÄŤka[...]is currently too volatile to allow us to agree to this loan in its current form. This is not to rule out any further agreements with the Eledanese.' KopeÄŤka has been unique in being one of the few countries to remain mostly unaffected by the prevalent economic crisis, mainly due to its protectionist pacts with Ashton, MdiÄŤe and Quotosibb, however confidence in the KopeÄŤek economy is low, with most forecasters predicting a fall in growth within the next year. Eledan conversely has been rocked to its core by the economic crisis, with its leading bank Kacparsel declaring insolvency last month, and new Eledanese President Astefann elected under a pledge to restart the Eledanese economy.
Herzebania today restored relations with KopeÄŤka after the coup d'etat of last Monday, during which a desperate President Karasol was reported to have declared war on the Herzebanians for 'inflammatory comments against the pride of the nation'. A state visit by the President has been scheduled for April.
[offtopic]I actually took the picture in my post Morepeth Cove is heavily based upon Brisbane[/offtopic]
Ashton economic forecast:
The Ashtonise economy is expected to continue its record breaking growth period to rise for the 20th consecutive year by a record amount.
The Global Economic crisis has unaffected Ashton and it's heavily legislated and government owned industries. Many foriegn companies on the brink of collapse have been taken over by Governa Republique d'Ashton to protect the countries vast population. Which is expected to have reached 650million by the tax year end in april.
Terror thread it Widnesa, Fortunia's capital city
Over crowdedness in Widnesa makes it an easy target for crime and terrorist attacks, the government voted, and a number of new towns will be built around the city to fill it out more:
Las Sentagios
Kendale
Juvenitas
Lawtonville
Michante
Chandler
In other news, Widnesa CBD's proximity to the ghettos and crime is getting worse, with Garda unable to control it. Hence, talks of moving the capital to safer Arundeli are being held today so tourists, politictians etc. have no need to be in the Widnesa area. Fortunia's economy could suffer and it may hit rock bottom. President Scentario is doing all he can to find a more realistic solution, but the chances of that happening are looking slim.
Widnesa:
Fortunia looks a right dive.
*scores Fortunia off list of countries eligible for a Ashtonise promo tour*
United States of Tinnmark would like to help our neighbours in the east. Maybe this will stop the illegal immigrants from Fortunia to Tinnmark

She said to the president that she don't think she will be the right person to represent Kingdom of Tinnmark, and that she is not handling the pressior.
The people of Tinnmark have reacted in huge dissepointment and sadness, some people said she was perfect for the job and she was the right person to represent the royal family of Tinnmark.
Tone said she want to go back to her old life, be touring around the Buzzjack World and make music.
Later today, Tone arrived the capital, Ĺsnesia. To her house where she lived before she was crown the queen of Tinnmark. Media from all over the Buzzjack World have been outside her home in 'Midthill', where Tinnmark's most famous people live.

Main Athletics Stadium
Archery, Throwing and Horse Riding Pit
Swimming Pool
And for the most important event, the olympic grand prix:
Fettlebean Raceway
The country is currently the 1/100000000 favourite to host the event.

FSR Rontvia defies the odds in face of recession
FSR Rontvia has been confirmed as the healthiest country financially in the Buzzjack World so far during 2009, with significant boosts in the tourism industry thought to have been boosted by the up and coming second city of Klurren, home to last month's Buzzjack Song Contest. The industry in FSR Rontvia is booming, with food, technology and housing sales at an all time high. The music industry is thought to be amongst the healthiest in the world so far this year. The biggest selling single of the year, Release Me by Agnes, has so far shifted 117 million copies, whilst the biggest domestic release of the year, M.A.G.I.C. by The Sound Of Arrows has been bought 49.7 million times. A spokesman for Rontequity, FSR Rontvia's premier economy analysts said; 'The people of FSR Rontvia are determined not to be beaten by the worldwide recession. Unemployment is at an all time low, our GDP is very healthy, interest rates are at a suitable level, the country is in good spirits. Hosting the BJSC last month was a great money spinner for our country, although it cost us 95 million Rontvian Kroner to host, we got triple that back in the boost to tourism generated by the interest in the BJSC, and from sales of Example's single plus those from Numayania, Mdice, Eledan and FNT Nickodonia, all huge hits here. We are in the middle of a huge boom in our economy and long may it last'! Meanwhile, FSR Rontvia's premier all-in-one retailer Rontworths, celebrates it's 101st year in business this year, having enjoyed record breaking profits so far in 2009. The future looks bright for FSR Rontvia!!!
Yeah, Kopecka, despite the struggle, aren't doing too well on the whole economic front DAMN YOU JASMINE.
Oh no, we don't need support as such - we're in a similar situation to France. Not quite in recession at the moment but forecasted to do so if things go badly (i.e. if there's another DNQ on the horizon)
Maira and Mira would never fly TigerAir though! Horrid budget airline.

622TGA - Investigation Update
The Ashtonise Air Safety Board has announced that TigerAir flight 622 was brought down off the Ashtonise coast by a explosive device. Investigations are continuing, but it is thought that a radical environmentalist group from Dr Bombay's Tigerland is responsible.
The Ashton Federal Intelligence Agency has been tracking their location for the past 15months. It is thought they originated near the Quotosibb boarder with intentions of spreading across Quilvoria to invade the Federal Republic and over throw the current government.
The Ashton FBI and the Federal Government are working towards destroying the group and keeping the Federal Republic safe.
All 215 people on board perished in the terror attack, and their families have been notified. The Ashtonise government, on behalf of all the Ashtonise, Rontvian, Kopeck, Tinnmarkian and Botanikkan citizens, have launched a civil suit against the government of Dr Bombay's Tigerland, the airline and the airport authority in Tigerland. Damages sought are likely to run into the trillions.

A demented Far-Egabbaci witch doctor has escaped from his home city of Far on the Island of Far, Egabbac. He left the following engraving in his front door step:
"Kraelig joh buziani era guinti itniu garein aizubh oj gi lea. R. K."
approx. translation: "I am Kraelig. You are never going to catch me you donkeys. R. K."
The doctor is believed to be illiterate Kraelig Rohj, a refugee from far away Liechenstaan on the Most Wanted list under the Far government. There have been no confirmed sightings of the witch doctor since his arrival in the year 2000+300+50+6, but believed victims of the twisted villain are found dead with R. K. engraved on their head almost weekly. The death toll is at current well over 700+00+0. The Far government have issued the following statement:
"Fraeh zuju Kraelig fer Rohj zu Rohj-fererrh Zuehlu Egabbac fuehren doegge jahrutizi faran peurht thru epnara fi ziturh ajegge odner heuf ca. B. Bageul heu Z. H. rreref Jhoruz Jhorre gilea r Kujuzhearf."
More on this story later.
Why do you always involve Liechenstaan?
My people from New Rivermaya have been in a secret mine, searching for gold. Hopefully, they can discover it so they can buy food and send them to the poor cities.
While I, the President of New Rivermaya, is searching through the net to find a perfect choice for the next contest after our 4th straight defeat.
If I can discover a perfect song for the contest, I'll keep it to myself. I'm a selfish President.

The Shadowan Broadcasting Corporation has shut down Radio BJ until further notice as they 'simply have nothing to play' following the Kingdom of Shadow's non-entry into BJSC XIX. On the plus side, the Kingdom of Shadow's premier health spa, Run Fatty Run Ltd, is reporting record levels of new gym members. It seems that in the absence of light entertainment, the Shadowan people are turning to fitness and becoming even sexier than ever!

Petal Pushers are first to leave Dalisskan X Factor
Tonight was the first night of the Dalisskan version of X factor. Dalisska still uses the old format with a results show on saturday. The Dalisskan public have spoken and Petal Pushers are the first act and the first group to leave X factor. This has come as a major blow to girlbands in Dalisska hoping things would be different in Dalisska than in the British X factor, but it was not to be as Petal Pushers polled the lowest amount of votes during the vote tonight.
Rebekka, Candice and Lola are said to be completely devastated an insider has reported. After the results were announced Rebekka took the mic saying "I thought things would have been different and that the Dalisskan audience would have seen something in us.....but whatever"
Petal Pushers faced Wendi Moon in the bottom two and as a result of the judges inability to agree it had to go to Deadlock which Petal Pushers lost and were then eliminated.
The Remaining contestants are:

Preparations are underway in Numayania for the final of Buzzjack Chansong Conteste:La Bestofe (aka BJSC:TBO), which is scheduled to feature the country's debut winner Alphabeat. Rumour has it that a special version of five-week #1 The Spell is being recorded in a special Numayanian version for the event. Numayania also expect to see former entrants Alcazar in the final, and we would love to see Serebro, Infernal and Nexx being there too...
Kopecka are obviously very excited for TBO, and the ISCBK promise that they will add up all of the nominations so far once they've worked out the best songs of the first half of the decade.
2004 and 2005
As in XIV and XV? I like those too
Oh, looking at the mod lounge, I guess you mean the ACTUAL years... funny thing is I didn't really listen to pop then
Oh my, there are some CLASSICS in both. I'm making Spotify playlists, do you want links?
2004 was dire, 2005 less so but still wasn't as good as the quality of 2006 onwards
in Rontvian news, the country has gone into national shame mode as it was revealed that in the absence of BJSC, Michael Buble had managed to bag himself a No.2 hit single in FSR Rontvia. Luckily, Lady GaGa was on hand to ensure that he didn't reach the top of the charts...
I thought Rontvians were shameless about their Bublé love? Numayania has been recently forced to make a u-turn on Ke$ha, finally allowing her a visa after her BJSC success with what was determined to be an obscene song three months ago. We have brought out the red carpet, and presented her with a golden sink to pee in...
Rontvians liked the new Buble song on first listen, granted, but Buble himself is usually the butt of jokes in the country. None of his other singles have come anywhere near the top 1000.

Listen and be proved wrong Rich Surely the release of (one of) the greatest pop album(s) of the decade (Come And Get It) makes 2005 fantastic?! If you look beyond the dire acoustic fetish that the country had that year then it actually was quite a fantastic year...
EDIT: On second thoughts, two of the greatest pop albums of the decade...I forgot Breakaway

A little about the Dalisskan contenders
The Girls
Judge & Mentor: Kate Miller-Heidke
Miranda Hozman
Age: 19
Fav Genre: Pop
Hometown/city: Lewiz
About: Miranda comes from a small town in Dalisska called Lewiz. The town is well known for it's smart and ambitious citizens. Miranda is focused on the competition and will let nothing stand in her way but she can still have a giggle every now and then. Hotly tipped as the favourite to win.
Sara White
Age: 21
Fav Genre: Ballads
Hometown/city: Lyndra
About: Sara hasn't got far to go to get to the x factor studios as she hails from the capital itself. Sara is well known to be the clumsiest of the 12 finalists and often falls over herself when paparazzi start snapping her. She doesn't let this get her down though and always jumps back on her feet when the going get's tough.
Olive Brown
Age: 18
Fav Genre: Europop
Hometown/city: Hillovale
About: Olive is an extremley quiet girl and fades into the background easily.....until she starts singing and let's everything loose. However there is a fear that she might be forgotten during the voting as she is not overly hyped in the media or by the judges.
The Boys
Judge & Mentor: Gavin Mikhail
Emmet Williams
Age: 18
Fav Genre: Jazz
Hometown/city: Rillatean
About: The hearthrob of the contest....but despite this he is actually very talented however he sometimes comes across a bit cocky but is generally a nice lad. Another contest hotly tipped to be in the final.
Ryan Maxwell
Age: 16
Fav Genre: Pop
Hometown/city: Lyndra
About: A fun loving guy who loves to dance and sing. However some people he has met have cast him off as very immature and not capable of lasting in the music business. Regardless he hopes to do his best and prove everyone wrong. (as usual )
Peter Stone
Age: 23
Fav Genre: Rock
Hometown/City: Warkinton
About: A young guy with quite an edge, one of the more serious competitors. Peter is very realistic and doesn't believe he can win in such a pop infested country.......but other's just say he has a bleak outlook. Despite this he prides himself on top performances each week to at least....."stave off the inevitable" as he calls it.
Over 25's
Judge & Mentor: Lights
Svetlana Shobo
Age: 28
Fav Genre: Opera
Hometown/City: Kannebek (Kopecka)
About: Svetlana comes from a city called Kannebek. She grew up in the suburbs. She moved to Dalisska a few years ago. Svetlana is a caring women who is focused and hopes to do well despite not being in her homeland. Svetlana loves drama and she loves to dance the tango. Unfortunately the tango isn't very popular in Dalisska so she can't find dancing lessens.
Harold Rice
Age: 38
Fav Genre: Country
Hometown/City: Paloneka
About: This is his last chance....or so he say's because he's getting on in years and apparently old people can't be successful in the music industry. Harold is a friendly guy however is probably one of the weaker contestants. He makes up for his weaknesses though by his charming and charismatic demeanor.
Wendi Moon
Age: 32
Fav Genre: Athmospheric
Hometown/City: Tekniosa
About: Wendi is a typical housewife...with an extraordinary talent. She enjoys singing songs that have a good athmosphere and have a simpleness about them. She's probably the funniest of the final 12 with a dry wit that people can't help but laugh at. Wendi can be very sarcastic too when she wants to be but generally she get's on well with the other contestants.
The Groups
Judge & Mentor: Elizabeth (Elizabeth & The Catapult)
Coolmines
Members: Tyler, Brian and Greg
Ages: 19, 22 and 20
Fav Genres: Pop/RnB
Hometowns/cities: Lyndra, Lyndra, Quingla
About: Toted as Dalisska's "JLS" these guys have alot to live up to. Tyler is the baby of the group and many people have said his only job is to get votes from teen girls but that's far from the truth as he actually does have talent. Brain and Greg are more down to earth than Tyler.
Room to Breath
Members: Summer and Wynter
Ages: 18,18
Fav Genres: Electropop
Hometowns/cities: Matreeka
About: Two quirky girls from a town called Matreeka. As twins Summer and Wynter have a strong bond and both have a strong passion for music.
Petal Pushers (Out)
Members: Rebekka, Candice and Lola
Ages: 20, 21, 19
Fav Genres: RnB/Rap
Hometowns/cities: Surlsbury, Surlsbury, Surlsbury
About: Three girls who like to think they're on top of all the latest trends and in general are pretty cool. But unfortunately for them it all backfired last night when they were eliminated. Rebekka is known to have a firey temper and as a result boxed one of the cameramen in the face after the show went offline. Candice and Lola are more down to earth and are always trying to calm Rebekka down in this kind of situations.
it was more the Chingy and J-Kwon types I was thinking of
Well, if we're judging years to be awful based on predominant genres excuse me while I dismiss 2006/7 entirely for the identikit indie that pervaded
Babycakes and Khia unfortunately DID enter my conscience in 2004. I think that was why I gave up on it
I'm going to listen to the playlists after the chart, cheers. Love Kelis
2003 was dire, definitely my least favourite year of the decade musically...the only good thing about it was Delta Goodrem...my favourite single of the year not released by Delta was something ridiculous like Carnival Girl by Texas
2004 wasn't that bad I guess, I mean just chartwise it was...at least good music is reaching the top of the charts again these days...I mean Corrs' Borrowed Heaven came out in 2004 and that was a brilliant album, one of their finest, and then there was Delta's Mistaken Identity, Natasha Bedingfield's excellent debut album, plus brilliant albums from Atomic Kitten and Lucie Silvas, just none of them were as big as I was hoping them to be...
2003's biggest hits all got overplayed and really haven't aged well...2004's definitely one of my favourites. It was a SPECTACULAR year for R&B (You Should Really Know is one of the best answer songs ever IMO) and some of my favourite songs of all time are from 2004 (Nelly Furtado - Try, Toxic & Everytime are some of Britney's best, I Believe In You = best Christmas #2 ever, Afrodisiac...), as well as some of the best albums of the decade - Kelis, Brandy, Scissor Sisters...all of this MORE than makes up for the faceless R&B in my view
I Believe In You wasn't xmas No.2 Tyron, it was Steve Brookstein's dreadful Against All Odds
Eurovision 2001 was really the only amazing thing about that year
2003 remains one of the greatest musical years of all time.
Three was released

It look's like the Kelystazian government had no intentions of dropping this act.
622TGA - Bomber trial
The trail of Tiger Air flight 622TGA bomber Haibeb Drayi [A Dr Bombay's Tigerland national] was concluded earlier today. Haibeb Drayi was found guilty of making and planting an explosive devise with a time delay and killing all those on board the flight. 622TGA was intended to explode as it finished taxing to it's gate at Morpeth Cove International Airport. The plane was delayed by 1hour and exploded early over the Bay of Morpeth.
Haibeb Drayi was sentenced to death by public stoning. The sentence will be carried out at dawn when a restrained Haibeb will be driven up Morpeth Boulevard [Known locally as 'The Strip'] with members of the public free to throw whatever they wish at the guilty party. Knifes, Guns and any other objects that would make Haibeb's death less painful are banned. As are head shots.
The UN has be highly critical of Ashton's most severe form of capital punishment calling it cruel and disgusting.
Bereaved families get first throw at the north end of the strip. Haibeb will then be driven south along the south bound carriageway which was closed at 2pm to allow preparations to get underway.
If Haibeb survives the drive he will be taken to Desert Palms Hospital to recover before a rerun the following week.

WITHDRAWAL DATE
Today The EBJSCC spokeswoman, Idelaida Yro, on a press conference gathered in the EBJSCC head building said that Elëdan is going to withdraw from BuzzJack Song Contest from XXXI onwards. The right limit is unknown.
"Economical issues play the very important role here. We've witnessed a big decrease in interest among people of the country. In the past 3 months it's down from 90% to 74% according to results of the poll. Also, country loses its money and due to unstable situation of economy in Elëdan it's wiser to cut the expenses for BJSC in favor of some other more important fields. So far BJSC isn't going 'against' anything else so the only thing is to watch what happens next."
On a question "What might postpone the withdraw date further away in time?" the spokeswoman answered:
"Of course, two big results, like in the last decade, might affect the situation, but we also need to host at some point. Two previous times Feethoo was hosting the event it turned out very well for the economy and we got capacity for future failures."

Due to alliances that Ashton has with the nations. This in no way directly resembles the Ashtonise vote. The Ashtonise public have had no say in the XXIV votes.
*Cherri V feat Wiley - Skool Daze was released 7weeks ago in Ashton as an official single and is getting radio play as a result of this, not due to political connections with Quotosibb
interesting chart, particularly #4
And #11
You should totally do a personal chart btw Phil
whats the difference between #3 & # 33

Ashton's second Federal Elections to be held as Ashtonise occupation of Botanikkan Island Territory continues
The Federal Republic of Ashton is set to hold their second set of federal level elections after Emperor Silas dismissed the parliament this morning.
Campaigning began immediately with the announcement of a series of live debates. The first will take place on March 29th on SCB Alpha and will be on the Botanikkan Island Territory occupation.
Ashtonise troops seized control of the Botanikkan section of Sayhner Janslic's largest island, Ćsenřkja, two months ago with little opposition. There has been heavy blood shed in recent weeks with 5,000 Botanikkan troops perishing.
The United Buzzjack Nations condemned Ashton's actions, but a vote over possible sanctions was veto'd by the Federal Republic and their allies Kopecka, FSR Rontvia and Numayania.
Ashton is the second largest country by population in Buzzjack and the wealthiest with the Federal Reserve set to report a record budget surplus of AN$1,381billion [Over Ł122,345billion]
8.8 EARTHQUAKE AT TINSKESJŘEN!
A tsunami warning have been sent to Tinnmark, Simondly, Bokia and FSR Farahtyn! Expected to hit Tinnmark in minutes!
The earthquake was felt in the capital of Tinnmark, Ĺsnesia, and the region of Vestfjordane and Tinskeřya!
Stay tuned for more information!
That can't be a coincidence!
Is that supposed to be funny?
TSUNAMI!
A 10 metres wave hit coast of Tinnmark, after an earthquake took place in Tinskesjřen! 230 km of coast was hit. 243 people have been confirmed dead, and thousands injured. Thanks to the good alarm system for tsunamis, millions of people were saved. King Erik VI spoke to the people earlier today, and showed his grief to the families that lost someone they love and their homes.
Now start the reconstruction of millions of homes, some cities are completly destroyed. The government estimates that it will take 120 billion to rebuild.
But after last months discovery of oil in Tinskesjřen, it will just be a small amount of money. Tinnmark is still climbing on the list of Buzzjack's most rich countries. And today Tinnmark's GDP per capita today is 134.822 $ which is one of the highest in the world!
Ashton will of course be donating money to the Tinnmark cause.
Ashton languages shake up see's Norwegian on equal footing with Áskorzjan
The federal government today announced that Ashton's official languages are Áskorzjan, English and Norsk (Bokmĺl). Swedish was designated an officially recognised language along with German. Government documents will be published in all 5 languages and tri-lingual* signs are to be put up across the country in the next month.
*except in Ashworth where state law recognises Swedish as an official language and signs are in Ashtonise, Norweigan and Swedish by law. English will be added to new signs beginning in May 2011.

Breaking News from Dalisska!
Espen Embassy Staff Taken Hostage!
Staff in the Espen Embassy in the capital Lyndra were taken hostage and held at gunpoint earlier this evening when an organised crime syndicate stormed the Embassy. They demanded no less than 10 Million Dallits for the safe release of all Embassy staff and occupants.
However the situation has now worsened as one of the syndicate members has threatened to kill Herman Mott, the Espen Ambassador if the 10 Million Dallits are not delivered to a remote location within the next 24 hours.
The new development came to light as terrified secretary Ashley Tasco was released with a message of the demands.
Talks are currently being held between the Dalisskan and Espenese governments on how to deal with this delicate situation.
We will keep you posted on updates but as of now the situation looks very grim.
Such terrible things happening all around!

The Ronties, FSR Rontvia's most lauded music awards ceremony was held last night in Constarvan. A host of big stars turned out to the glamorous event and some international stars were present too. The event was hosted by former BJSC host Sanna Nielsen along with RTVN head and general media personality Ricardo Delta. The full list of winners were as follows;
Chryss Topfér, president of Batidas has booked his summer holidays. That's right - he flies out to sunny Caerfyrddia next month.
Surely Delta will be having this award for the rest of her life?!
Member of the royal family of Tinnmark and Ashton and all round pop ICON Tone Damli is delighted to receive the Rontie for Best International Female.
Outstanding contribution to schlager needs to become a real life award. That would certainly be one to rival the BRITs & the Grammys.
My country is having a mental breakdown after missing the last competition by 15minutes.
When's the next one.. I have a killer song!

New compilation album 'FSR Rontvia: The Ultimate Collection', a 21 track compilation housing the country's finest and most memorable BJSC entries has got off to a flying start report MusicDay, selling 'over 459,000' copies in its opening week. General Castiron, the spokesperson for Rontvia's biggest music chain, Rontmusic, said 'this is completely unprecedented, we had to order in triple the stock that we were anticipating. We were expecting it to be huge as it includes so many of the country's biggest ever hits but to sell 260,000 CDs and almost 200,000 downloads is unheard of.' An international release will take place first in Ashton, Numayania and Kopecka on Monday June 20th and across the rest of The Buzzjack World on June 27th. Ashton pre-order figures place it 2nd currently behind Keisha Buchanan's TBC release, #1 on their pre-order chart since she was sacked from the Sugababes. Here is the cover and tracklist, which was chosen by an online fan poll;

iTunes Ashton bonus tracks: Markoolio & Linda Bengtzing - Varsta Schlagern & Example - Watch The Sun Come Up (Neon Cloud Edit) (Lykke Li does not feature on the Ashtonise tracklist hence two bonus tracks)
iTunes Numayania bonus track: Caroline Jonsson - By My Side
iTunes Kopecka bonus track: Andreas Johnson - Glorious
iTunes bonus track everywhere else: Hafdis Huld - Kongulo
The Federal Republic's music regulators have requested that in lieu of Lykke Li's track Varsta Schalgern, a massive number one in the country, be placed on the physical CD.
The Ashton Media Corporation has confirmed that it is currently number two on the pre-order charts with some 33.5m copies pre-ordered, some way short of the right honourable Lady Keisha Buchanan's 458.98m pre-orders for her debut album.
'FSR Rontvia: The Ultimate Collection' is expected to do well in the Tinnmarkian chart "VG-listí Topp Tjuge" when it's released on 27th of June. Reason is that artists like Mira Craig, Maria Haukaas Storeng and Anna Abreu is all featuring in the album.
but this comes just one week after 'Tinske MGP Hits' will be released on 20th of June, who will win the battle of the chart?
According to JuranaSun, Early reports suggest that it's only #23 in the Juranabaijan compilation pre-order chart. Hasn't even scraped the Top 200 overall albums.
Though they are clearly not the most reliable of sources.
The Rontvian GH compilation is now available for pre-order and is currently #11 after only 13 hours. Will it be top of the pack come June 27th, the physical release date? Probably.
Pre-orders for ERS Rontvie: La Collectione Ultimet have topped 2.5 million copies, a record in a country with 3 million inhabitants, and it looks likely to knock Lady Gaga's latest album down from the top, and to smash the record set by Hurts' live album We Are, We Are. The Numayanian Top 40 albums is predicted to look like this next week:
01 NE Artistes Varieux - ERS Rontvie: La Collectione Ultimet
02 NE The Feeling - Tougezaire Noui Ér Medde
03 01 Lady GaGa - Bourné Zis Oué
Released the following week is NMY20 - La Collectione. A set of Numayania's greatest hits in BJSC, the album will not include the song that DNQed in Batidas last month, but it will include all other songs, and a bonus disc of the 20 biggest non-local BJSC hits in Numayania. Tracklist, release date and artwork coming soon

'FSR Rontvia: The Ultimate Collection' sales steady despite lack of pre-independence chart hits
'FSR Rontvia: The Ultimate Collection', a compilation of the best entries from FSR Rontvia will be released in Caerfyrddia on June 27th. Pre-order sales have been steady with around 2,800 sales (21% of the population). However, the compilation has received some criticism due to the lack of pre-independent Caerfyrddian favourites such as Caroline Jonsson, Vincent and the former Uchaf 75 number one hit, Driving by Thermostatic.
Chief executive of Caer-Pop records, Llyr Davies, said of the omissions; "Although we understand the entries in question were not amongst the most successful for Rontvia, we are weary of the disappointment amongst the music buying public of our nation."
He continued, "That said, we generally feel the quality of this compilation is of a very high standard and expect it to sell well".
The compilation, which will retail at Ł9.99, features all the major Rontvian successes and former Caerfyrddian top 2 hit, Kongulo by Hafdis Huld will be available as a bonus track on iTunes. The compilation is currently #2 on the pre-order chart behind the forthcoming sophomore release from Katzenjammer.
Rumours of a mini compilation to celebrate 10 appearances of Caerfyrddia in BJSC have been confirmed as false, however Caer-Pop records have not ruled out releasing collections related to the contest in the future.

Federal Forces anex Dr. Bombay's Tigerland
Earlier this evening the Ashton National Guard stormed the presidential compound of Dr. Bombay and executed him. The Federal Government had grown tired of Dr Bombay's Tigerland harbouring Ecoterrorists with anti-Ashton agenda's and their failure to compensate the victims of Flight 622TGA, the Tiger Air flight that was blown up near the City of Morpeth Cove whilst en-route to New England Harbour.
Following an Air and naval strike lasting 3months ground troops invaded the country last week advancing quickly to the capital. Following the execution of the president, the Federal Republic formerly announced the annexing of Dr Bombay's Tigerland. The impoverished nations citizen's welcomed the news hoping that Ashton can bring prosperity to the nation.
The Emperor of Ashton announced that the new territory would be part of mainland Ashton, known locally as 'East Ashton' and be home to four new as yet unnamed states. It would appear on a map in a similar fashion to European Russia, separated from the mainland by Willand & Offran and Botanikka.
In other news Ashtonise occupation of Botanikkan island territory is on going with the border between the two countries on the mainland remaining open in just three places.
Ashton announces new 'Songs of Life' list
Governa Republique d'Áskorza today announced a new Songs of Life list to be filled with Ashton's greatest songs of all time. The five songs to launch the list are:
Sugababes - Run For Cover
Sugababes - Freak Like Me
Sugababes - Round Round
Sugababes - Stronger
Sugababes - Ugly

Sugababes 4.0 has total sales of 550m.
The public of the country Aquafina are devestated following an atrocious performance in BJSC.

Hogan-burg republic
Brooke hogan has bought a new mansion on the coast of Brookeville woth atleat Ł5 Million in other news she has fled the country and gone to Budtar because of the civil war which has split the country into two the north being called ant hogan after co prime minister Antony Cotten and Fat burg after the other prime minister Fatima Witbread. Brooke and her Dad Hulk Hogan have promised to return when the civil war is over.
The total deaths from the civil war= 700,000 approximatly
So some Brooke Hogan buying a house is above a civil war on the bill of news?
You need to use some commas or full stops. I had a hard time understanding your sentence
In other news, Daehun is having a Sex Day this coming Sunday in the bid to raise the population of the country. Those who give birth as a result of that particular day are being rewarded with a free performance to see the next year's Pop Festival (Tickets estimated Ł500 each) to be held at Golee January 2013 in Daehun and a TV coated in Platinum Gold with Swaroski Crystal decorations.
All of the Budtar population (excluding queen China) will be fighting in the war. They are all good at fighting because queen china made fight and war a lesson in school.
Ha is that all you got we have the new high tech tank the hogan buster, it can smash down a building 7 double decker buses high with one touch plus our army has never been defeated. Also to get us in a fighting mood we listen to I want it all by Queen and now they pumped up and have just entered the capital of Budtar. Good Luck!!!
we have a forcefield over beema city. The only thing outside the forcefield is the mcdonalds take away so if our enemys ever get hungry they know where to go.
We will not fall for your trick as we know you want us to get fat so we can hardly move, nice try too bad we have thought ahead and brought our own food.
I can safely say this is the single WORST conflict in BJSC history.
You want a war, the passive aggressive war between Botanikka and Ashton over an Island and the ongoing war between Kopecka and Bhangra is where it's at.
The war of the bad grammar is totally where it's at.
That is a point. If you are going to insist on the worlds most tedious war, please use proper spelling and grammar. (English UK please, none of that Americanised stuff)
This thread makes the Lace Wig Forum seem sane.
Don't take it personally, I know it's not your first language It's only banter.
Brooke bomber has just passed over Budtar with atleat 10,000 deaths of Budtar civillians because of it the attack.
Surely you know how to use capitals properly though?
There are only 2 people outside of the forcefield and they were only eledan tourist, so no harm there.
Oh okay so what you are saying is you are a coward and all our people can fit into Beema City sure. Okay then so we have decieded to take over the rest of our country.
I have 3 cities all with force fields around and McDonald's take aways showing
EDIT: Grammar (to make it better! )
Okay but we still take over the part of your country that does not have a forcefield around then.
Genuine 'She doesn't even go here!' moment with this "War"
This ongoing war has been dull for the most part. At least use some descriptive phrases or terms to enlighten the entire process up. It is literally I attack u no wait there's force field no wait we'll get around that but no we have traps set aside so we will attack using air but no we will send aeroplanes to counter.
Not to mention at least you can make the news broadcast on the war a little bit LONGER instead of turning the thread into a MSN conversation..
You were given a verbal warning about failure to use correct grammar. As a native English speaker you have no excuse not to use the correct and appropriate grammar. (Don't even think about that hand cramp shit or I will find that comprehensive dismissal I posted before and repost it.) This particular forum does have a number of users who do not have English as their first language and your failure to use grammar makes it difficult to read for native English speakers never mind someone who is speaking English as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th of Pavel-th language.
As a result of failure to listen to a verbal warning given by a moderator I will be increasing your warning level by 10%.
Everyone in Farahtyn is dyslexic. This so called war is hurting our brains! If we cared enough to find out the countries involved we might send someone to come and set of a bomb or something dramatic.

Its hard to write stuff interesting because it hurts my brain more than yours. English is hard to learn. We also give up on the war because i am ill.
There's no need to point out EVERY mistake. You know he's from Sweden (I think?) so he doesn't speak English well, he does try. I know it's annoying to read but he can't help it....
Really? According to Phils post Ramsey is an English speaker..?
And English is my third language as well so I don't see the excuse O_O
Actually I was born in Romania, I did not admit this because I was too embarssed to tell anyone but I have decieded to finally tell everyone. I did move to England a couple of years ago but it is still very hard to understand the language.

It's officially ON. And will not be OFF until Budtar's total annihilation.
Eledan finds this 'question' irrelevant, unprofessional and offensive.
Would Budtar like to issue an apology to the nation of Eledan and the family of the deceased tourist?
After Hogan-burg Republic and Budtar agreeded to peace, we have promised to help Budtar if they are ever in need of any help.
Queen China is making her way to eledan to apologies. She has also planned to invent a milk free milkshake just for the people of kluminician republic.
Pavel, why are you lowering yourself to this?
ECIA (Eledanese CIA) has just received intel that Queen China will not be making her appearance in Eledan and this was fabricated in order to make Eledan look the other way while Budtarian terrorists residing in Kopecka or Espen will try to attack.
Eledan have plans for Budtar!
After the conflict between the two nation, president of Eledan, Kristen LaBell, officially stated that "when we finally take over [Budtar], as the punishment, Hunger Games will take place there. From each Budtarian district one boy and one girl will be chosen to fight against each other until there's only one left."
eledan.ll/news
400,000 troops are making their way to eledan now. We hope this will distract you from attacking Budtar for a few days until Queen China finishes her Budtar tour.
Breaking news
King Spongebob Kicked off throne!
In the last couple of minutes King Spongebob has been kicked off the throne after failure to cope with the recent war. While Queen Freddy went though Budtar territory to try to bring peace between our two countries, Spongebob sat on his throne all day watching cartoons, as a result of this King Spongebob has now been kicked off the throne. Now Freddie Mercury has been placed as King while the Queen has yet to be named.
More on this breaking news shortly.
Queen China dead
BREAKING NEWS!
10 minutes ago, Queen China of Budtar OD'd while having unprotected sex with her 60-year old servant-sex slave. Several attempts of reviving The Queen, made by the promptly arrived emergency, were unsuccessful. Nation of Budtar is in deep shock. Funeral is scheduled to take place in 2 days.
eledan.ll/news
This thread is making my brain bleed.
Why is this happening in my contest?
Daehun calls the BuzzJack United Nation to seek help
Admist of all the fighting occurring, Daehun, a Less Economically Developed Country, has requested the United Nations for some protection from Eledan's world domination scheme. All troops are now on high alert throughout the borders of the country with extra protection on the island of Gyesang in case of an attack from water. All tourists are to be requested to leave the country until further notice and those acting suspicious are to be questioned.
cr: DaeNews
As a result of Hogan-burg Republic and Budtar being good friends now , also since all of the Hogan-burg Republic citizens were big fans of Queen China so we have decided to attack Eledan.
Tonight Queen China Wasn't Unstoppable
China Anne McClain was a singer a queen and an actor but tonight she was found dead in her home in beema city. She died due to drug overdose about 20 minutes ago.
Over 20 people have commited suicide due to the Queens Death.
Eledan news site hijacked
We've been informed that Eledan.ll/news was hijacked by cyber-terrorists of unknown origin. Kristen LaBell has this to say: "There will be no Hunger Games. In fact Eledan don't want to have anything to do with Budtar. Queen China was my friend before she started to use drugs. Sorry for your loss, nation of Budtar. And I would also like to state that Eledan have no plans to have conflicts with, let alone attack, any country."
President also added: "We are of peace. Always."

New Queen to be announced
The new Queen of Hogan-burg Republic shall be announced tommorow in the centre of Dawson City at around 8pm.

I hope to see you all there.
Yours Sincerly,
The New Queen
Which Seat Will She Take?
Budtars new queen is no other than Rebecca Black, she said she wants to clean up the mess that Queem China made and says Budtar should be friends with all nations. She also said that shes want to make Budtar a more greener country and said she want every house to have solar panels in the near future.
And Queen Rebecca has already made budtar a friendly country by giving all countrys free milkshakes (excluding Kluminican Republic who we gave water to).
My god, Rebecca Black as QUEEN!
Queen Naya would like to express her distaste at her wondeful position being abused and given to 'just any old dull bitch'.
We would like to give a warm welcome to the new Queen of Budtar. I hope as neighbours in the Buzzjack world we can build up a great friendship
Yours sincerly,
King Freddy and Queen ?
Queen Naya retracts her statement and would like to welcome Queen Rebecca, with total sincerity
Well this war is over, ramseydawson is banned for a month
Is he really banned?
Yep, he made an alias and was rumbled in his introductory thread, so he was banned for a month and his alias deleted.
What happens to Hogan-Burg Republic, then? I take it he's not going to vote now, so should I take them out of the final or something like that?
he might be on twitter following the buzzjack twitter?
DaeNews Times, 8th February 2012 20:43

That's a shame as he did well getting to the final!
Queen Naya declares Euphoric Celebration underway
As the 'terrible' war between Budtar and Hogan-Burg Republic ended, Queen Naya Rivera declared a Euphoric Celebration across the whole of Unovia. Loreen will perform her new single Euphoria in Castenillia Arena later tonight as part of the main event, which hundreds of thousands of people across the Buzzjack world are expected to attend.
Daehun has sent 500 citizens via a private Boeing 747-8 to attend the celebration in Unovia
Wouldn't it be fairer to have the next best placed country in his semi take his place? There's little point him staying in as a guaranteed non-voter...
That would involve a lot of people revoting.
Only if they actually voted for him and would plan on voting for the next chosen track. Have that many even voted yet?
At least a quarter.
Gotye new at #1
We thought the Juranabaijani population would never see sense! After dipping into the Juranabaijan iTunes chart Top 100 for a whole day months ago, the track - Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye - had finally reached the summit of the Juranabaijan singles chart. The track, which features Kimbra and was a Batidas BJSC entry many BuzzJack years ago, was released on cassette tape for the first time this week, and stormed to #1 sales of 3,217 (92% cassette sales), outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined. In a week in which the cassette was reintroduced, it is now the leading platform for music in Juranabaijan. Feeder, at #2 with Borders, would have been #1 any week in the last 15 months.
1: Gotye ft Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (3,217)
2: Feeder - Borders (1,002)

5: StooShe ft Travie McCoy - Love Me (330)
Tinnmark become 4th nation to obtain visa-free entry to Ashton
After Tone Damli Aaberge, Queen of Ashton and Tinnmark, stormed to second in BJSC XLI the Ashtonise goverment have announced that citizens of Tinnmark will be allowed to enter the country without a visa.
Tinnmark is the fourth country to get free movement within Ashton after Kopecka, FSR Rontvia and Numayania. As with the existing three countries, any one with a criminal conviction must still apply for a visa to visit the Federal Republic and those wishing to permanently emigrate may apply for a residency visa at a substantially reduced price (A$H100 instead of A$H1,500). Citizenship/dual-nationality is available to the four countries after just 4 years compared to the next lowest wait of 10 years.
The move comes after the two countries entered into a Union of Crowns.

Queen Tone of Tinnmark and Ashton invited Silas Áskorza to Tinnmark
Queen Tone have today invited Silas Áskorza, Ashton's and maybe the world's most powerful man. He is the dictator of The Federal Republic of Ashton, and is also the Head of BJSC Selection Committee and Head of BJSC Voting Committee. The Tinnmarkian prime minister Erik André Ĺsnes could today announce that Ashton have been awarded a small part of our country, called The Federal Ashtonese Colony of Tinnmark. It includes the city of Morpćtt Vik, with 12.834.923 inhabitans. About 87% of them are from, or have one or more close relatives who comes from Ashton. This is the main reason why Queen Tone invites Silas, to participate at the celebration of the new colony. Last time a country have owned a colony in Tinnmark, was in 1436 when Elëdan claimed 1/2 of Tinnmark, which was already then a part of the Espen-Tinnmarkian Union.
That's the reason we celebrate our national day the 26th of May, our independence from Espen and Elëdan.
Silas Áskorza have not yet replied to the invitation from Queen Tone.
Here we have a map of Miskantha.
Here is a map of Tinnmark, with the new colony.
And here we have the colony flag.

Ashtonise Emperor to head to Tinnmark
Emperor Silas Áskorza has accepted Queen Tone Damli of the TinAsh Union's invitation to be present at the celebration of the inauguration of Den Fřrderale Astonske Koloni av Tinnmark. A spokesmen for the Federal Government gave this statement: "It is a great honour to be granted this colony on Tinorsk soil and we look forward to working with the Tinnmark authorities to provide the highest possible quality of life for Ashtonise ex-pats and their families. All non-Ashtonise citizens in the Koloni will be granted immediate dual Tinorsk-Áskorzajn nationality. The Federal Government of Ashton has hopes that the Tinnmark Government will grant dual nationality to those Ashtonise citizens who are yet to obtain it."
The Federal Government has also confirmed that there will be a Tinnmark colony on Ashton's northern coast in the state of Cairndale. The city of Třrvĺkk with 11.7m inhabitants will form the centre point of the new territory. 'Den Koloni Republikken Tinorsk am Republique d'Áskorza' will have a total of 15.8m residents with dual nationality. The Federal Government has made the condition that Áskorzajn remains an officially recognised language of the territory on par with Norsk (Bokmĺl). The new Ashtonise colony in Tinnmark will have Áskorzajn and Norsk as officially recognised languages with English, Svenska and Dansk as supported languages.

According to some local newspapers and magazines the Sangrian BJSC Comittee is planning to send a Hungarian artist to the next contest. The current contest is still at the semi finals stage but the media has just started to write about the possibly entry of next month. Is it a leak or just rumours?
"We have an information: if Gabrielle will be in the top 10 of this contest the comittee will send a Hungarian song to the next one. It's easier for them to send a risky entry after a good result. We're quite sure that the song is going to be not just from a Hungrian artist but it will be sung in Hungarian." (HoTTalk, Sangrian gossip magazine)
The BJSC Comittee have sent 5 Hungarian acts to the contest but only one of them were in Hungarian, the debut entry of the country back in BJSC 6 - NOX: Ébredj fel! In BJSC 40 (our return to the contest) Renáta Tolvai and Gergő Rácz represented Sangria and they achieved 13th place with 'Can't Let You Go'
*Please note, some posts have been deleted*
Right, that is ENOUGH. Another word on the Alias/6MonthSuspension will result in that poster gaining a 10% warning.
If people continue to post on the subject the posts will be deleted and you will be warned. This is the last that will be said on the matter, and that is FINAL.
Wait what happened? Or were posts deleted? You just randomly bursted out Phil as far as I'm aware
There has been some cleaning done to remove the posts from this thread. They were detracting from the forum.
I've edited the post to make it more clear
The Sangrian BJSC Comittee is very doubtful about the country's next entry. They've announced if Gabrielle will be in the top10 they will send a Hungarian song. Gabrielle came 10th in the 42nd contest so they are considering to do this. But the majority of the country think that the song won't do well in BJSC although it is very well-loved in Sangria.
The comittee decided to present the song on SRTV1 tonight to see some international reaction. Then they will have the time to rethink it and find another possible entry.
Ashton's monthly Immigration Law update
The Federal Government has announced today that citizens and nationals of Ramrynia and ChrIsland have had their visa's, residency and citizenship stripped and have 48hrs to leave the Federal Republic before the Ashtonise Federal Police and Ímmilagrati Áskorza will start deporting those who remain. After a week those who still haven't left will be imprisoned in accordance with the Removal and Treatment of The Illegal Non-Ashtonise Act (1392). The two nations have now officially been placed on the Ashtonise Immigration Black List.

Ashtonise language sounds so ITALIAN.
As far as I recall there remain like TEN nations that aren't on either a Black or Shoot-on-sight list. Thankfully Elëdan are safe SO FAR, even if annually there's only roughly 23 Elëdanese citizens visiting/living in Ashton. Blame the terrorist attack that was done by a person with Ashtonise citizenship (but there's no confirmation that was/wasn't a plan of an Ashtonise terrorist organisation LdÁ (Libelracionél'homén d'Áskorza - translated into English as "Ashtonise liberation movement")! People are blatantly too afraid to stay there.
Daehun officials would like to know the requirements for NOT being on Ashton's Black/Shoot-on-Sight List.
Not committing a crime against Ashton would be a start. As would not releasing offensive music.
As probably none of you remember before I got banned I was going to announce my queen and have her coronation, unfortunately I did however get banned, but tonight that coronation will happen.

I thought this thread needed to make a COMEBACK and so here be what's going on in Umiiruka:
Umiiruka Emerges from Dark Days of Dictatorship
Following growing public descent, "Dear Leader" K'Ronikka, dictator of the country for three years since she seized power in a bloody coup in 2009, resigned from her post several days ago. The resignation prompted huge public debate over how K'Ronikka would be dealt with, being wanted in several countries (most notably Daehun) for warcrimes, most significantly the murder of four million citizens of Uurnikook. However, it has come to light that in return for her relinquishing of control over the country, K'Ronikka asked for (and received) immunity for her crimes. The country's former leader will now lead a free life in Umiiruka, although it is unknown exactly where she will stay.
Following the resignation, Umiiruka's newly democratic populace needed a leader. A hastily thrown together presidential election just finished, and the results are as follows:
1. Federica Pellegrini: 27.25%
2. Xavier Dolan: 25.375%
3. Camille Muffat: 24.125%
4. Coralie Balmy: 23.25%
A narrow contest, unsurprisingly considering there was virtually no time for any campaign, but Federica Pellegrini of Region 6 prevailed. Federica, pictured http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mYALGblfh7M/TvrgVzJNDcI/AAAAAAAAARc/s93nd1tzfyo/s1600/federica-pellegrini-elegante.jpg, was considered the favourite for the race from the start, and is thought to be a strong choice of president for her sensibility and calm demeanour. It is hoped she will bring some sense back to Umiiruka, replacing the blatant stupidity and extreme sexuality of K'Ronikka (pictured in the music video for her hit single 'Booty Wave' http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/73481008/KRonikka+snapshot_005.jpg). Federica has promised to undo the damage "that insane woman" did and Umiiruka is optimistic of a fresh start for the country and its international relations.
Nout wrong with DICTATORSHIP love.
*from the keyboard of Chancellor Baranski*
Daehun would like to welcome Federica as president to Umiiruka after the disasterous leadership of K'Ronikka.
Ímmilagrati Áskorza release annual Immigration stats and law updates
Ímmilagrati Áskorza has for the first time today released a list of all the nations on the Immigration Black List in addition to it's usual statistics. ÍÁ in association with the AFIA (Ashtonise Federal Intelligence Agency), the AFP (Ashton Federal Police), Dsénjĺ Áskorza (Ashton Customs) and local law enforcement performed 20,189 raids on businesses and 39,101 residential raids leading to the capture of 39,938 illegal immigrants and 481 persons arrested under suspicion of human trafficking.
Ímmilagrati Áskorza and Governa Republique d'Áskorza have today announced that all inbound cargo ships are to be searched and that all cargo containers are to be subject to increased scrutiny.
Of the nearly 40,000 illegal immigrants, 27 have been granted leave to remain in Ashton after it was discovered they were victims of a scam targeting migrants whose visa was due to expire but wished to remain in Ashton legally. A further 5,082 have been granted temporary leave to remain in the country after a backlog in visa processing was to blame for their visa's expiring before a new one could be granted. 19,019 remain in detention pending investigation into their immigration status. The remainder were deported.
Immigration Black List.
- Ramrynia
- ChrIsland
- Dr. Bombay's Tigerland
- Hoganburg-Republic
- Torchwood
Aircraft and Vessels registered in the five above nations or are in service of the five above nations are prohibited from entering Ashtonise Airspace or Waters. Citizens from the nations are strictly prohibited from visiting Ashton and all those who were working or resident in Ashton at the time of the Black Listing were stripped of their visas and Ashtonise Nationality. 2,719 IBL raids took place this year with the discovery of 5,188 IBL nationals. 48 have been executed, 591 have been deported and the remainder are currently imprisoned awaiting deportation or execution. The Federal Republic of Ashton does not execute minors. In addition to this any families discovered on an IBL raid are automatically exempt from execution even if the youngest family member is no longer a minor.
All 48 that have been executed were using false identities to evade detection and attempt to gain work in the Government as part of a terrorist plot.

Russia > Ashton
Finally someone taking a much needed tough stance against Ramrynia.
Ashton is scarily like the Middle East. You can get arrested in Ashton for sneezing in public.
Batidas is like a sleepy town in comparison.
It is a disgusting habit. It's been genetically engineered out of all Altyr citizens thankfully.
Ugh, WHY would anyone even consider sneezing in public? No Bombayan Tigers in Ashton? Looks like Lord Juranamo will have to take a trip there. (If he's allowed in!)
Supreme Chancellor Baranski is very much of the mindset that one bad apple automatically means they are all bad.
Oh we don't think the Ramrynians are all terrorists. Dirty fuckers are thieving shites.
Aside from the strict immigration laws, the ban on environmentalism and harsh penalties for driving offences (Such as imprisonment for failing to drive at the minimum speed limit) Ashton is a very free society. Sneezing in public is legal but the natives are very much like the British in that they would never do it so as not to impose on others.
(Not relevant but the state of South Carolina threatens to imprison you for 2months and fine you $1000 for speeding in roadworks. Bloody barbaric!)
Failing to drive at the minimum speed limit results in 'harsh penalties', Lord Juranamo is taking note...
Allecian's Ramrynian immigrants have been no problem at all. They just clearly have issues with dictatorships. One mans terrorist, another man's FREEDOM FIGHTER!
Everyone is free in Altyr Muunilinst. Free to do as they are told and as is expected. What more could they possibly want?
February 25th is TinAsh day!
To mark the truly momentous day that marked the ending of the long term relationship between Queen Tone Damli Aaberge of Tinnmark and Ashton and her troll-like other half, a day of national celebrations has been called in both nations.
Festivities include a parade, music (of the Tone Damli variety), drinking, pin the wig on the bald troll and a screening of the brilliant Headhunters. Schools have been closed and all non-essential personnel have been granted the day off on federal orders.
Meanwhile in Farahtyn...
The civil war rages! Due to this their has been a media blackout! But people are left to wonder will the war ever end?
Ashton and Altyr Muunilinst sign landmark treaty
The two nations, who have previously engaged in a cold war that involved the mobilisation of troops, have signed a treaty to co-operate on economic and political matters including an important intelligence sharing committee. The Buzzjack world's sole dictatorships have decided to combine their efforts on Ramryanian terrorism and other emerging threats that may appear.
Emperor Áskorza had this to say: "Today we sign an important treaty with a nation who we have had the great pleasure of increasing our co-operation with over recent years. Following previous disputes with the nation this treaty is landmark amongst the Buzzjack world."

Emperor Áskorza tours Altyr Muunlinst
Chancellor Baranski has had the great pleasure today to announce that our new ally Emperor Áskorza of the Federal Republic of Ashton will be making a brief, but historic, 3 day trip to Altyr Muunilinst later this month as a sign of the trust between our two great nations, despite our history. The Emperor's itinerary will include a lavish state dinner (pictured above is the Imperial Banquet Hall where the event will take place) with all the great and good of Altyr present. Tours of Darpabrak's historic quarter will follow and the trip will be concluded with a National Holiday on March 22nd to coincide with the festivities surrounding Altyr's 20th anniversary in the contest. Ashtonese performers are already being lined up to make the concert truly a night to remember.
Queen Tone Damli Aaberge of Tinnmark and Ashton recive the Núbleé Peace Prize 2013
The Queen recive the prize for her work with helping poor Bokian children. Since the border closed between Tinnmark and Bokia in March 2009, alot of Bokians have illegally immigrated to Tinnmark. Thousands of them are children who have been working illegal in Tinnmarkian factories along the borderline, children as young as 5 years old have been reported working in a factory who makes toys for 'Toys R not for poors'. Bokia went bankrupt after they used the country's financials to win BJSC XIV, which ended at last place in the semi finals.
Bokian entry in BJSC XIV - 23rd (Last) - 10 pts
This is the first time in 724 years that a royalty recive the Núbleé Peace Prize. Last time it happened was in 1289 when 'King Klaus the Evil' ruled most of the North-western part of the Buzzjack world. He got the nickname years after he recived the peace prize, when he unsuccessfully invaded Elëdan in 1308. He died at the battle of 'Hahahooloo' in 1312.
King Klaus the Evil (1265 - 1312)
Queen Tone Damli Aaberge will recive the prize at a ceremony in Ĺsnesia City Hall the 11th of March. The same evening she will attend the Núbleé Peace Prize Concert at Wroldsen Arena. Which will be hosted by Tina Fay and Amy Poehler. Who you can see in one of the most popular tv shows in Tinnmark. Amy Poehler from Parks and Recration and Tina Fay from 30 Rock.

Juranamese officials have announced in a public consultation that immediately after the 53rd contest, the country is to undergo a Ł75,000 overhaul to all flags and signage within the country as it adopts its new official language and officially translates the countries name.
Yehesi is currently going through a deep financial crisis, which has hit the southern parts of the country the hardest
Just in...
Kathaldazian newspaper, KTDZ Mirror, has reported that the country has recovered from an on-going financial depression and will make their belated BJSC comeback in the forthcoming contest.
Unlike previous attempted comebacks, this one has received substantial backing from the country's government, resuliting in new relations with several South African recording artists and groups, tipped to represent KTDZ in BJSC.
However, concern has been raised with regard to Kathaldazia's relations with other BJSC countries, KTDZ's long absence from the contest has resulted in them having a now non-existant relationship with previous allies and the country would like to recindle these relationships with a peace treaty set to have a mutual benefit for both Kathaldazia and its relations.
Emperor of Elëdan, Lee, have flown to the capital of Kathaldazia to meet with the President and discuss the possibilities of resuming partnerships between two countries, including mutual promotion of Kathaldazian and Elëdanese BJSC artists. Lee has also stated in the press conference held on July 1st that "[Elëdan] are happy to have Kathaldazia back on their feet. Due to the close nature of the relationship between our countries Elëdan are willing to reduce Kathaldazia's debt by 80% especially seeing that the economy in the country still hasn't restored completely although stabilised".

Federal Forces Rescue Elen Levon from Ramrynia
*BREAKING NEWS*
A Federal Black-Ops division has successfully rescued Ashtonise star Elen Levon from captivity in Ramrynia. Elen went missing from her holiday in the Kluminican Republic before appearing on stage for Ramrynia a few months after placing second for the Federal Republic with the sublime 'Like A Girl In Love'.
Earlier plans by the Federal Republic to Liberate Elen from captivity to represent Ashton in LVI were ruined when she was forced to appear for Ramrynia for a second time in BJFestivalen. An event that saw the Federal Assembly recalled for an emergency vote at 1am on a declaration of war. Following a random.org assisted failure at the Heats Elen was moved to a secure location in Cherry Tree City. Last night the Black-Ops team staged a rescue mission using tranquilliser darts instead of bullets to avoid a major diplomatic incident.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Ashtonise Armed Forces described the mission as 'textbook' and the soldiers involved a credit to their families and the nation.
The Emperor is said to be delighted that an Ashtonise national has been rescued from captivity in a hostile territory and has said that Elen will be recuperating from her ordeal at the Royal Palace.
Earlier this evening Elen made her first public appearance in Ashton for 14 months to perform a special acoustic version of 'Like A Girl In Love', her second place BJSC XLII smash hit.

All forms of Dance Music BANNED in Altyr Muunilinst
http://s1254.photobucket.com/user/Johnkm90/media/breded_zps3837410c.jpg.html
In the latest wave of social reforms to hit Altyr in the last few months Supreme Chancellor Baranski has today outlawed production, distribution and public consumption of all forms of dance music, particularly EDM. In a bid to both remove such toxic filth from the airwaves and remove the anti-social behaviours associated with excessive consumption of said 'music'.
Rumours of mass outrage in Persephonia have, as yet, been unsubstantiated.
From the desk of the undersecretary to the secretary of the press secretary to the personal assistant of Chancellor Christine Baranski
Persephonia are offended at you associating us with the term "EDM".
Well, if the shoe fits.
EXCLUSIVE footage of Lee throwing a tantrum over Adelén's DNQ yesterday has now been leaked by an insider that preferred to remain anonymous.
stay tuned for more information.
Altyr Muunlinst added to Danaelanda's blacklisted countries
All flights and boat trips to the country of Altyr Muunlinst have been cancelled and all trade stopped as a form of protest against the country's new policy banning DJs from performing there. They are the first country to be added to the blacklist.
I FULLY ENDORSE BLACKLISTS, just not Aquafina or Altyr.
Altyr comments on the Danaelandian blacklisting
Jonna Lee comments on blacklisting in general
"I think it's pretty ridiculous. It's the way to show the world that you really are nothing but a stupid child who would throw a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants", said Jonna in a pause between laughing at Aquafina's Adeléasko.
Morpeth Regional Assembly votes to merge the cities airports
With growth in demand far outstripping capacity at Ashton International Airport and Morpeth Cove International Airport the Morpeth Regional Assembly has approved plans to merge the cities 12 airports and create 4 super hubs and one private airfield. The Superhubs will be connected via a high speed underground rail line with one train per 3 minutes at peak times. The High Speed Airport line will link with the cities 3 major transportation hubs, Ashton International Rail Station, City of Morpeth Transport Plaza and Central Morpeth Cove Station.
The 5 new airports have been announced as:
Ashton International Airport (AIA) - Major upgrade including 4 new runways and 6 new terminal buildings to take the total to 8 and 10 respectively.
Morpeth Cove International Airport (MCI) - Recently expanded airport will gain 2 runways in 10 years time and another 3 terminals to take the total to 6 and 8 respectively.
Morpeth Regional Airport (MRA) - Located at the southern tip of the Morpeth Region this airport will be expanded from it's 1&1 operation to feed demand from the southern part of the city, territory and SE Sanvoria. 3 new runways and 5 terminals are expected to be built over the next decade. It is expected to be the budget airlines airport of choice for the city.
City of Morpeth Airport - (MOR) - Private Airfield at the heart of the city located near MCI in the bay of Morpeth. This will gain a larger terminal and an extra runway to cope with business demand in the centre of the city.
Morpeth Cove Domestic Airport (MCD) - Part of the MCI plaza, this will gain it's own airfield on reclaimed land on the south side of the bay with 6 terminals and 4 runways. It is expected that the first aircraft will depart from it's new site in 2019 allowing the current MCD to close for the expansion of MCI.
The closing airports are:
Upper Morpeth Private Airfield (UPM)
Morpeth Heights Airport (MOH)
Morpeth City Airport (MCA) - Passenger Terminal that shares runway with MOR.
Cove City Airport (CCA)
Ashton Domestic Air Interchange (ADA) - Operations, routes and runways are being absorbed into AIA which it shares a plaza with.
Morpeth Federal Airport (MFA) - Built to commemorate Federation. Currently used as a budget airline hub with one very old terminal this will be returned to the Federal Air Force of Ashton.
Morpeth Cove (Havenja) Airport (HVJ) - Budget airport 20 miles from city at southern most tip of Rd'ÁC. Being replaced by an expanded MRA.
Flights for this years TBO final, to be held in Morpeth Cove, are expected to be unaffected by the change and passengers are advised that delays are likely when arriving into AIA or MCI due to their running at 100% capacity. The Federal Government advises all TBO SF travellers to travel to the recently expanded and upgraded Santryan International Airport and use the nations domestic transport network for their onward journey to the final.

ZOSIMUS GOVERNMENT IN EXILE - OSTRICHES TAKE OVER
This is a message from the new ostrich overlords of the Land of Ostriches, who have come in a mass exodus from Umiiruka and achieved victory over the Persephonian government of Salim Zosimus.
The government of the state formerly known as Persephonia has been forced into exile as ostrichkind takes over. The transition to the new leadership will take effect immediately, including the new Persephonian BJSC entry 'Tangle' by The Hics now being officially overseen by the BJSC Committee of the Land of Ostriches.
The new flag of the Land of Ostriches:
Have you been drinking Bre? OR have I BEEN DRINKING!?!?
DOCTOR BLIND.
Why do you not play along with us? Life could ALWAYS be like the above ostrich post if you did.
