The Independent Forenian
For the people, by the people.
Ministry of Riots reduces rioting hours!
In the latest afront to civil liberties in Forenia, the bureaucratic MoR has decreed that rioting on weekdays shall now be limited to between 10AM-6PM, and 7PM-9PM. The two-hour reduction is justified on account of a need to 'boost productivity' to 'support the war effort'. Once again, the war takes priority over the needs of the citizens. Many have criticised the Unification Party for being no better than the High Command they overthrew.

Major losses at sea. Thousands reported KIA.
Despite the triumphant reveal of the UFS Archer, supposedly a first-class modern warship, journalists from the Independent report that our navy is losing almost every engagement. Cannalan ships continue to harass our merchant marine, and troop transports continue to be sunk en-route to both the southern and central fronts. The War Bulletin continues to report only on our victories in the north, ignoring the fact that our incompetent navy is costing us dearly everywhere else.

Is the attack on Myark warranted?
Despite their departure being labelled a 'troop training exercise', and the fleet of ships accompanying them a 'security escort', we all know that we are in fact invading the neutral island of Myark. The Ministry of Ethics has released a report justifying the 'liberation', but again, we all know it comes down to greed. Not content with exploiting the resources of Forenia, the Unification Party seeks to 'unify' our neighbours in order to gain access to their resources. Perhaps Mutriqa to the north will be the next to fall to their budding imperialist tendencies?
The government claims that the British Parliament agreed to hand over the island. However, a closer examination reveals that the British thought they were handing over a fugitive named Myark, not the island. This sort of deceit is unbecoming of Forenia.

Freedom of the press at risk?
Disturbing reports have reached the Independent suggesting that the UFG may be planning to impose restrictions on opposition publications such as our own. Although so far we have been allowed to publish the truth without consequence, if the current trend towards totalitarianism continues, that may not be the case for much longer. The Prime Minister himself has released a statement: "...baseless rumours, spread by Cannalan operatives. Heck, I read the Independent every day. It's always good for a laugh". Disturbing indeed, that he considers our paper 'laughable'.

I'm not sure whether to publish this in the embassy thread or not. On the one hand, it would put a stop to their claims of a lack of press freedom in Forenia. On the other, it is handing them propaganda pieces on a plate. What do you think?
