BREAKING NEWS

A private freighter anchored just north of East Steinovania in the sea has been lost to pirating. The Brick of Nations was contacted by the shipping company some time ago with regard to a ransom for the boat and its crew. Details are limited on the operation hatched by the Brick of Nations, if at all but it is being reported tonight that the mission was a failure. The shipping company was forced to pay the ransom without any international support to rescue the vessel. The story gets worse from here in that the pirates did not turn over the crew or the boat. Upon receiving payment, the freighter was moved to a port in Al-Qurimam controlled by tribal separatists. The cargo of the vessel we have no found out was a high end arms shipment headed for North Tahopan. The pirates mercilessly slaughtered the crew and sent them off into the ocean. Having now received their payment and the spoils of the vessel's cargo, this failure will certainly embolden future pirating activity in the world's oceans.

BREAKING NEWS

The Brick of Nations recently announced they would be launching an expedition to Antarctica to recover what was believed to be a Tosul Satellite containing something less than legal. The multinational task force never came to fruition with only the KLR's PDSRE attempting the operation. Attempting to overcome a logistical nightmare, the crew bravely went off in search of the satellite. The international community dropped the ball on this operation from it's inception. 

We are just now finding out via a PDSRE news report: 

The PDSRE media is claiming their Task Force was slaughtered just prior to recovery. A Joint Task Force comprised of forces from Tosul and those of Paitan. 

The PDSRE revealed there was a memorial for the commanding officer this last week. 

  

Sure to spark outrage in the international community, these events are troubling. Tosul and Paitan are expected to receive a real lashing in the Brick of Nations. Paitan has largely remained neutral in international affairs the last few years but our experts indicate they have been going through a rigorous military buildup fueled in part by the aims of Tosul to spread their influence abroad. Largely a poverty stricken country Paitan is most noted for their tourism and exported commodities.
