New Beginnings
at least we won't have to worry about starvation any time soon. Is the thing on? It is? Hello, governments of E-43C, I am Fredrick Goodchild, the new commander of the ESS Pwenet. I was chosen to be the commander after some... minor difficulties. Now, as commander, I have some important things to say. First
This is Osiris-1 speaking. My sensors indicate that all twelve remaining colonies on the planet are listening to this broadcast. Thus, I have decided take the opportunity to speak to you. It has come to my attention that several of you have split from the official USSE government. This act of treachery shocks me deeply. While the true USSE government does not have the man power to punish you, rest assured that the next colony ship to arrive will be full of valiant USSE patriots. When it arrives all traitors will be punished.
Now then, I have also been monitoring the progress of your colonization efforts. While many were successful, several were not. Those colonists sent to province number 112 and 113 could not establish permanent settlements due to a lack of supplies. Province number 66 failed when no mineral deposits were found, though my sensors say otherwise. Colonists in province number 34, 95 and 98 died due to exposure to deadly bacteria. While I understand that your frail human bodies may have no immunity to foreign bodies, I expected that 15.534 years of exposure and medical treatment would render you more resistant. Finally, from what I can gleam, a typographical error has prevented province number 56 from being colonized.
That is all I want to say. Thank you for listening.
he may soon turn rampant. We've disconnected him from most of the systems, but a communication sensor array thing must have broken off during deceleration. The bastard's been using it to listen in on you guys down there...

A Strongly Worded Complaint from the National Soviet:
The common worker, under his own initiative (and with minimal interference from the gulag guards), has organized himself into factories to pool his collective labour with his fellow comrades, and not some bourgeois ruler...

The overall Emperor, however, is not choosen by anyone, and is taken from the bloodline of the Empire.
Letters from the New Roman Senate:
... As the foundations of what will undoubtedly be a Grand Empire have been made, the House of War has begun to institute the methods of drill that they have found most desirable, into our glorious army...
work on improving our weaponry has gone poorly. We do not yet have the industrial capacity to improve our weaponry in an economically feasible manner, as outlined by the House of Gold...

From the Ligorian Board of Geography:
... the study of the Isthmus has been completed... [Constructing a canal] and expand[ing] two minor rivers would allow open both bays to shipping and naval craft, while bypassing the major ice blockages in the north and south... $100,000 is the maximum estimated investment in [this] project to build the canal...

If anyone has any questions, please ask. If I misinterpreted your turns, tell me. Also, you should name your colonized provinces, if you haven't already. The numbers are only there for convenience. Additionally, I can change the way that the results of your turns are presented to you (ie, the internal messages)
