Just wrote this for a role-play thing. My nation is The Utopian Militarized State of TigerStaat, if you're one of the many involved in NationStates. Understand that this is a state-owned radio station. =) Hehe. It was fun to write, now back to work.

TS3NR: (Radioshow transcription, broadcasted live 2 minutes ago)
Today marks perhaps the most significant change in the political spectrum of TigerStaat since the end of the Feudal age. Just three hours ago, opposition leader Yamar Kuznetsyn was shot three times in the chest as he exited a press conference from which he announced the amalgamation of the right-winged parties into one opposition Conservative party. While he lies in critical condition at the Panthera city hospital, the more shocking news came after this would be assassination. An emergency council meeting was called by opposition vice-chair Anya Mezovka, which ended violently just minutes ago. As the council ended, its results still unknown to the public, the entire opposition party was annihilated by a terrorist act of immense proportions. A vehicle, described by witnesses as a blue tractor-trailer, ripped open at the sides and onlookers could only be terrified by a gattling gun opening fire on the line of vehicles leaving the building.
There were no reported survivors, as the occupants of the vehicle are reported to have gone from vehicle to vehicle after they had all been destroyed and pumped round after round from combat shotguns into each vehicle. The citizens were not slow to react, however, and the citizen army was able to kill three of the terrorists before they themselves detonated a charge and blew up the tractor-trailer.
Prime Minister Heinrich Todman expressed shock and amazement that such violence could carry on inside of the borders of TigerStaat, and pledges for revenge upon any who claim responsibility for these actions. However, his attentions are quite possibly turned outside of the borders of TigerStaat today, as violence rises both in the JSI Wargames and in FalconWORKS itself.
The city of IncIncCorp, a sprawling coastal city of 20 million, simultaneously had every man, woman and child go from their signature FalconWORKS pragmatism to absolute utter chaos yesterday as the entire city rose up in arms and assaulted the every building of significance in the city, including the embassy of The Republic of Qwghylm. The embassy, a large building comprised of 40 human beings as regular staff, 50 robots, and with several visiting guests and dignitaries, including a high-ranking salesman of Qwghylm's signature robotic dogs, were trapped, calling for aid which did not come for a full 24 hours. Only when TigerStaat's National Security department put a call 24 hours and 34 minutes later exactly after the simultaneous breakdown of IncIncCorp's citizenry to the Qwghylm High Command were those men, women, and robots rescued by Qwghylm forces, who, finding no other alternative, occupied the entire city and subdued the citizenry. Casualties are said to be in the thousands, though impressively the Qwgyhlm forces have managed to detain and house-arrest most of the other citizens of IncIncCorp, many whom do not have any recollection their motives and desires of the past 24 hours. Many citizens complain of a sense of weird mechanism of the Qwgyhlm military machine, but are likely simply confused by their sudden collective loss of reason.
Also in foreign news, the JSI Wargames, which have been going on as a sign of peace and harmony within Tartarus VI for over a year, shocked the world today as live ammunitions were used in a competitive exercise, as several Kraken air superiority fighters destroyed an armoured TigerStaat squad consisting of UBAS (Urban Battlefield Armoured Suit) units and Simba main battle tanks. 60 TigerStaat soldiers were killed before the exercise was halted by JSI overseers, but not before a neighbouring UBAS detachment took retaliation, destroying a FalconWORKS airfield, killing approximately 40 people and destroying 30 Kraken fighters and several ground-based units with no losses. Though the incident is now under investigation by JSI officials, both TigerStaat and The Republic of Qwghylm, whom TigerStaat has an ongoing soldier exchange-program with, are withdrawing their forces from the Malazor Island Chain. The TigerStaat officer in charge of operations at the wargames, Army Chief Of Staff Niobe Chandra, is quoted as saying, "The forces at Malazor are being reassigned to national defense. The happenings both yesterday at IncIncCorp and today here at Malazor have raised questions about a possible insurgency of some sort rising within the FalconWORKS command chain, some sort of weird corporate takeover... perhaps, or an agressive move by an exterior nation. We have no choice but to reprioritize our troops."
The Prime Minister is expected to release a statement, but strangely enough, there have been no reports issued by the FalconWORKS government on this issue. It is now that...

Host: I'm sorry folks... but this has been a TigerStaat National News Network Radio broadcast cut short... I believe I have a duty to the citizen's army to follow. This is a public service announcement... every man and woman enlisted in the citizens army or reserves are required to report to their officers as soon as possible. This broadcast will now loop.
