VNN (Vulcania News Network)

Officials working on behalf of BJSC X have announced today that Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth, Vulcania's entries for the contest, have in fact double booked themselves and thus will not be able to sing at the contest. They have instead given permission for local girl, Kerry Ellis to sing the song instead. In an interview earlier today, Ellis claims that she hopes to 'bring a rockier edge to the song' and insists that she will do the song justice for all the fans of Menzel's original.

In other news, a native Vulcanian yak left drivers fuming today after refusing to budge from the entrance of Ironway Tunnel. Motorists were left stranded as the yak, nicknamed by drivers as 'Pain in the arse' sat at the entrance for a total of six hours. One driver commented that the yak had caused him to miss the start of the new series of Pimp My Ride and claimed that he would be filing a lawsuit against the yak.

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.

The Ashtonise National Guard sent a warship to Kopečka to aid them in the struggle against Bhangra

Well, Miskantha's two remaining economic powerhouses, but what's a continent and a world between allies? kink.gif

Kopečka thank Ashton for their aid in the struggle to retain West Sotesia cheer.gif

Oi, I'll have you know that East Quilvoria is much nicer than the West. pirate.gif

Quilvoria is quite an empty continent actually. ohmy.gif Maybe that's why Quotosibb flop so much, we're quite far away from the rest of the Buzzjack world.

I think we'll agree to disagree

But yeah, we are by far the most unpopulated continent, the eastern section is the most populated section tho.

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 £982,532.209trillion (UK Pounds)

Nuchet Vid Kopečka

President Čermet Karasol today appointed the head of the ISCBK Trashe Svantselius as Chancellor of Kopečka, 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 Kopeček internal selection committee for the BJSC.

A proposed Eledanese economic stimulus failed today after the Chancellor of the Kopečquer Lili Stromberg announced that 'the economic situation within Kopečka[...]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.' Kopečka 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, Mdiče and Quotosibb, however confidence in the Kopeček 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 Kopečka 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 ohmy.gif 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:
