The USA shall put a delay on S-Net before it arrives in America due to the cybersecurity measures. Microsoft has asked the Swiss government for permission to analyze the S-Net browser in order to look for security flaws before it will allow the browser to be compatible with PC. Apple is also asking to review the S-Net browser, although it is less cautious about it than Microsoft.

In an hour and a half, it will be June 2013.

The American and British governments are stepping up efforts to improve cybersecurity. Blogs of Chinese human rights activists were hacked by the Chinese government. Several countries have asked the Chinese government to issue a statement regarding the hacking attempts, but the Chinese have been silent on the issue. The Italian populace continues to protest after the Liquor Ban and is regretting voting for their Scandinavian president, which some have accused of voting fraud. There are also some protests within Scandinavia over the liquor issue. Georgia is ever-worried over the imperialism of the new USSR. It is rumored that the Russian government is about to absorb Abkhazia and South Ossetia into the Soviet Union. Other countries are angry with the Japanese for their slightly-veiled imperialism in South Africa.

SR puts a motion into the UN that a peacekeeping mission be undertaken into the Israeli-Palestinian zone in order to stop the "Zionist takeover of Palestine and to stabilize the region by eradicating militants". Other nations are thinking about intervening as well, although the USA and Britain are staying away from the conflict because it doesn't reflect national interests. ------------------------------- A bomb detonated within the London subway system, killing scores of people. The US government successfully stopped a car bomb from being detonated close to the US capitol complex. "We must stop the IRA threat," agreed Prime Minister Nick Griffin and President Wright.

Wouldn't it be better PR if you sent the poor populations free radios and also added another station that's part of Free Radio Asia that also tried to help educate the poor population and provide music as well?

UN declares that Japan must unblock transmission immediately because free speech is a universal right. By the way, how the hell are the majority of the Indo-Chinese getting the radio? There are poor regions, so shouldn't India be providing some radios?

Would they care, really? It just seems to be warning the peoples of Indo-China about the imperialism of Japan.

They're pissed because you banned alcoholic beverages. All Italian citizens point at you and shout "Vaffunculo!"

The Central American states have formed the República de América Central. Mexico may become a member of the RAC. President Wright is sending US aid into the region in order to stabilize it and help it gain a prosperous start. The American president is also working on improving ties with Latin America, of which Latin American debt may be dissolved. Puerto Rico is also due to become the 51st state thanks to special agreements that will provide it with some of the perks that it has as a US territory.

Why do they do that though? They probably don't want spoilers until they release their update in a little while. I'm guessing content developers feel that way about their work and don't want to spoil the surprise or get criticism before it's actually released. EDIT: This is last week's update, which they had to delay. They usually release delayed updates on the following Monday.

Lucky that I get to stay home sick with a possible stomach virus in order to enjoy this update, eh? :rolleyes:

Nice find. :thumbup: It looks like an RC update, then.

1. Brittany took advantage of a weakness in French power and asked to be admitted into the United Kingdom. 2. All nukes are disallowed. See the Treaty of Geneva, 2009. ---------------- Mandatory minimums have been abolished (law).

Marijuana has been legalized in the USA. Anyone jailed for softcore drug usage have been freed.

What else is new? "[bleep] you, USA! We invade South Korea naw and build nukes! [bleep] you, America!" *6 months later* "Our New Years resolution is to say we sowwy to USA. We don't mean it. We rove USA!"

North Korea is pissed off by a remark made by the South Korean government and is threatening to end the truce and invade SK.

Atheist Ireland organized a massive protest against the Irish Republic's anti-blasphemy law, inspiring clashes between atheists and devout Irish Catholics. Scores of atheists were gunned down, and a car bomb killed 5 protesters and 3 Catholics. It is widely suspected that the Irish Republican Army is responsible for these murders. News footage of the Dublin Massacre of 2013 are being flashed across American and British television sets. CNN has a headline called "The Irish Threat -- Terrorism in the Irish 'Republic' ". IRA activity seems to be increasing. An IRA videotape was sent to the British government, threatening to bomb London subways. The IRA has also reached out to the American government and is pleading for some funding and compared their actions to the American Revolutionary War. President Wright has snubbed the IRA operatives and said promptly that "The IRA is an effeminate organization that lacks the courage to actually march out into the battlefield and fight like real men."
