My mathematics indicates that with your other projects, you're over on your budget. Stratos Jets= 86 times 350 mil = 30.1 billion Total Swiss Surplus from 2009 to now = 36 billion Then you account for the Rhine Dam thingy, and all the other stuff.

Me supposes that is fair, since you're not tripling your income or anything. It's also in the nice price range which is more than a standard jet but less than something useful on the ground.

There we go.

Oh, don't you think Stratos Jets should be increased in price? F-22 Raptors are over 100 million, and a decent military plane costs around 50 million. Now we're talking about a plane that goes into the stratosphere, so why is it that cheap?

That's the great thing about tabloids. Do you have a lot of them in Britain?

I rest my case.

This weekly news bulletin is brought to you by the Uber Papporazo Journal, the official Japanese publisher of hyperbole and lies! Recently, Russian troops crossed the Mongolian-Chinese border into China, after a crushing defeat of Chinese armies in Mongolia. Termed the New Blitzkrieg by our Russian affiliates, Russian tanks steam-rolled over Chinese defences earlier this weekend. I think we smell a new World War 3 at this station, and we'll continue to bring you up-to-date information from the battlefront.

-Scared of cultic Druid monks- Japan sends an ambassador group (one minister and a monk) to Mexico to greet the new government. They note that religion can be the way forward to enlightenment, and seek friendship.

Sure, but try to set up a plausible story for it. Maybe there was some sort of "arcane" looking phenomenon. So please make sure you get acquanted with your country, maybe by looking at Wikipedia about its GDP, wealth level, problems, etc. That'll help you portray your nation realistically.

I thought Sere was moderator. I would choose Archi as moderator, but I think he puts too much emphasis on inflation and P-Jet power for my liking. Other than those specific things, he would be a great moderator. ^ Summary: he has a different view of economics and physics.

Italy has been taken by Dungeonal. Saudi Arabia and India are the largest countries that I see that are open. There's also Mexico. Check the map. It's under a hide tag on the front page.

Errrrr, didn't China invade as well? ------ Japan did not send any tetris players, as the Stratos Jets transporting people to the event were banned by the Japanese military for flying over Japanese air space, specifically since the instruments there have a high tendency to blow things up in that area of the atmosphere. ------ I vote that the small Mongolian army bogged down the Russian army in sneak and guirella attacks, combined with attrition killing 10,000 Russian troops. The Mongolian troops were crushed, and the Russian army moves in unopposed (unless China moved in, which I swear they did at some point)

(Oh, I thought I was on land) Jen tries to find some dry land, or at the very least an exit. She continues down with the current, and tries to create an air bubble so that she can still breathe even when underwater.

Jen continues down the tunnel, checking for traps, and straining to see anything. She tries to feel her way through using her...feeling skill.

Jen attempts to swim to the surface and find some sort of river bank to cling onto.

Jen thinks to herself that jumping in the river would only hurt the search for Wubbles, and that she would be a bad mommy if she jumped. Jen attempts to continue to the other side.

Japan calls off its retaliation, citing the ineffectiveness of such a response to an orbital weapon.

Jen attempts to create a sturdy ice bridge over the river with her ice staff. She tests it a few times by tapping it with her polemace, before heading down the bridge to the other side. She makes sure the bridge is several feet wide, so she doesn't fall off.

Jen tries to see if there's anything past the river on the other side. If there's nothing (like it's a dead end), then Jen leaps into the river.

Jen thinks of Wubbles, thinking to herself that if she hurts herself, then she might never find Wubbles again. (I wonder if you believe in the power of love :)) She's interested where she got the sword from, as she never had one before. She attempts to sheath it, thinking of Wubbles, and continues down the tunnel, checking for traps and stuff.

Jen continues down the tunnel, checking for traps and anything of interest. (I thought it was a dead end. :P)

Jen goes back to the chest area and looks around further. Maybe there's something obvious that she's missing.

-I'm going crazy- Jen goes back to the entrance of the cave and attempts to bust through again with a powerful jet of water, figuring that there isn't anything in the cave.

-That was...odd- Jen looks into the chest again, and wonders what is inside.

Jen attempts to recover (from the unconciousness)
