Thanks... happened to log in right when you're on.

In a closed hearing, the three IJB Commissioners today heard evidence from both the Prosecution and the Defence. The Imperial Judicial Board finally decreed after a lengthy deliberation that the Altonianic courts were sound in their judgement of the defendants being guilty beyond reasonable doubt. They have also taken the Defence's moves to drop the case, and have ordered a final retrial in the Liki Islands High Court in Lahabana to settle the matter of sentencing once and for all.

Legal experts at this point are speculating that the Liki Islands High Court will probably sentence the treasonous individuals to at the very least house confinement. As treason is a capital offence in the Liki Islands, the death penalty, unfortunately for the convicted, is still not off the table. Execution methods in the Liki Islands are renowned for being exceptionally cruel and unusual; the case study often cited is the Jersi Ripper of 1981. The criminal was convicted of the brutal knife-murders of 23 women in the Jersi City metropolitan area. He was executed on a public beach through suffocation by diving mask (with the mouth-hole sewn shut).

The defendants have reached an arrangement with the Islandsian government to forgo a trial, and to stay in Liki Islands in exile. In exchange, the Islands won't, quite literally, sue them into oblivion.

The Islandsian government condemns this Nea Athenian operation, and is urging Minosa to purge Invictan influence from the nation.

The Imperial Navy has sent ships from the Sixth Fleet into international waters near the Minosan coast in a show of force. IN destroyers and frigates will traverse the waters conducting “security operations”.

The Liki Islands Justice Department is reportedly displeased at the punishments handed to the defendants, and is currently pressing to have them placed under house arrest with 24hr electronic bracelet monitoring. A small anti-crime rally was also held outside the High Court building in Lahabana today, protesting against the “soft” treatment of the criminals...

The Islandsian government cautions the Judicial Branch of Liki Islands against giving to harsh a punishment; these criminals have already been tried, convicted, and punished by an Islandsian court. Giving them further punishment for that same crime would violate several points of the Imperial Constitution.

Due to outside pressures throughout the Empire, Minosa has initiated a "white scare," severing all ties with their former allies, arresting diplomats, and using their sizable military to purge Invictan personnel from the country. Furthermore, they have abandoned true communism; much like the Islands, they now use a pseudo syestem, one part capitalism, one part socialism. OOC; Think IRL China.

The Imperial Government has welcomed this step in the right direction. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to dispatch a diplomatic mission to Minosa soon.

The Islandsian government has launched a petition for the Edmundian government to tell what those "security operations" might be.

The Heptagon in a press release confirmed that Task Forces made up of Imperial Navy vessels are currently patrolling the Libertian Ocean to "protect Imperial interests" in the wake of the aircraft incident. IAF fighter patrols have also been stepped up, and a range of other measures have also been taken.

In other news, due to the recent 'combination' of the Wealth Token and the Royal, a new period of economic prosperity has been ushered in inside the Islands and former Islandsian colonies. Just in the past few days, the most shocking example of this has been Lava Guava, who seems set to surpass Dogetopia as the 8th biggest total GPD nation. Furthermore, in Osajia, the civil war already seems long gone, although there are still lingering doubts about their new "president" or possibly "dictator." The Texan Revolution is also doing well economically, and is believed to surpass the 200 Trillion mark in a few days. Finally, in the Islands, the economy is swiftly approaching the one quadrillion mark.

Also, the new host for the Imperial Games has been decided; New Austin will host, as Sabanpraya, the former host, has been voided ever since civil war enveloped Depressea. Satellite imaging suggests it was destroyed by several nuclear explosions.

OOC; Hey Al, seems that we log on much the same time. Guess that's what happens when you live in the same time zone.

The Minosan government welcomes the Great Edmundian delegation with open arms. They can even use the embassy formerly occupied by the Nea Athenian! Speaking of which, we decided to keep all their files, and boy howdy do they contain some great publicity stunts for you! OOC; You can take that last statement wherever you want, up to you.
