FOREIGN CRISIS INTENSIFIES REPLIES: IronicEpitome: Don't worry about the invasion being chewed up. A more pressing crisis has manifested itself. Archean: I agree. With all of the chaos around Agonite missiles, the militia could easily sneak in. Korot: All true. AstroNelson: Franklinites are worrying about that as well. Action is being taken on the part of Tristan to stop his sister from destroying the world. Bickering over partisanization and whether there should be party conventions to select an Executive candidate, as well as debate over other issues, was ground to a screeching halt in Franklin as news broke about the Foreign Crisis rapidly intensifying due to actions by Tessa Archean, Vice Chancellor of the New Follomer Syndicate. Below is today's issue of the Franklin Chronicles:  Sources -- Allied Syndicate of New Follomer, Chapter 58: Sins of Our Sisters, Chapter 59: Family Blood Follomer images credit: Archean Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

| For starters, Tristan is a male and Tessa is his sister.
As to Tessa's statement: See my reply in the Follomer thread. (which I've yet to post). Regards, Korot |

FOREIGN CRISIS OVER REPLIES: Korot: 1) That has been corrected. 2) I have read your reply there. IronicEpitome: Truth is often stranger than fiction (or is this a fiction  ).Archean: The world has prepared, and thanks for your compliment. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning ot the Crash of 1929, which initiated the greatest slide in the history of the American stock market, and marked the first symptom of the latest Great Depression. A special commemoration will be posted tomorrow, the 80th anniversary of the second day. But for now, here is today's Franklin Chonicles:  Source: Allied Syndicate of New Follomer, Chapter 60: Endgame Mistake pointed out by Korot has been corrected. Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

| And yet you make the same mistake here: "The Chancellor, Tristan Archean, led an expidition of her own..." Should be his own. On the fallout: A fusion reaction doesn´t neccesarry have to cause a fallout, however, pratically all fusion reactions producing energie have little to no radiation effects, and those effects are to low to cause a nucclear winter. As to the rest of the article: see my reply in the Follomer thread. Something else that bugs me though: with the foreign crisis ended, what is the militia going to do? Regards, Korot |

Oct-29-2009 08:03 PM
| Does Follomer's chancellor have gender issues?
Korot: Nuclear winter has nothing to do with radioactive fallout, but rather is caused by too much dust in the air. Large asteroid impacts can cause the same effects, even though they release no radioactivity. I would ask what the militia is going to do, but it has already been asked... |

SOLEMN ANNIVERSARY REPLIES: Korot: 1) That has been corrected. 2) As Leech10 pointed out, fallout does not have to consist of radioisotopes. 3) Oh, you'll see  .IronicEpitome: Hehe. I doubt if they'll go there, but thanks for the suggestion. Leech10: Gender issues? Only in the Chronicles. Thanks for pointing out about the fallout.  As you should know, we are now entering the ninth decade after the Stock Market Crash of 1929. 80 years has passed since those fateful two days -- October 28 and 29, 1929. The crash is often seen as representing the initial cause of the Great Depression, but it was more of a symptom of underlying problems rather than the cause of them. Regardless of the cause of the crash, it heralded the greatest economic downturn the American economy would ever face, being comparable only to the Depression of 1837, which occured 92 years earlier. The political and economic leaders, with the notable exception of the Austrian school, thought the crisis was over after the crash, which had taken the stock market down by more than 40 percent by December, had stabilized. In the Spring of 1930 Hoover and his compatriots saw bettering data on the economy signaling a recovery, and a stock market which had undergone a monster rally of 50 percent from the lows. Alas, it would only last 6 months. The rally peaked by June, and from there it was a nearly non-stop downward slide from 279 on the Dow, to 41 by the Spring of 1932. This was the deepest bear market in stock market history, taking stocks down by 89 percent. The economy was not much better. Throughout the early 1930's, the economy continued a self-sustaining vicious circle leading to bankruptcy, unemployment, shuddering of production, and plummeting GDP. By 1933, the unemployment rate stood at a staggering 25 percent, with the rate of underemployment being above 40 percent. The economy had contracted by over a quarter, marking the most severe depression on record. By 1932 the downturn has been dubbed "the Great Depression". All hope seemed lost, but the bottom was near. 1932 saw a lessening of the decline while the people loathed the current president, Herbert Hoover. In November 1932 Franklin Roosevent was elected President, and promised a "New Deal" for the American people. The Hundred Days after his inauguration in March witnessed the enaction of a multitude of government programs, dubbed the "alphabet soup". The programs spanned the spectrum from fascist to socialist to capitalist, but they got the economy running a modest uptick in 1933. By 1934, the unemployment began to ease as government payrolls, created by the new programs, swelled with new workers. Infrastructure construction was at an all-time high -- Americans were building the greatest infrastructure to have ever existed, laying the groundwork for the future, sustaining the recovery until 1937. In 1937, with public works booming, and with deficit spending easing, the economy contracted, and unemployment shot up again, heralding what would be dubbed "the Recession of 1937", due to the fact that the governemnt did not want to frighten the populace with another depression call. The term has stuck to this day to describe downturns. By 1939, ten years after the Crash, recovery had begun to take hold once and for all. This recovery was drastically accelerated as the Second World War reached the United States. Wartime production in factories propelled GDP to new heights. By 1945 production was so vigorous that one new naval vessel was being built every 10 hours. In September, the war ended, but it would take until 1947 for the effects on the world brought by the war to return to normalcy. When they did, it caused a stagnation in the economy, exacerbated by the Recession of 1949. In 1952, a full 23 years after the Crash, the United States had reached full employment, and economic growth was over 15 percent. In 1954, 25 years after it happened, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had finally eclipsed the 1929 peak. This was the boom of the 1950's, but it took place in a nation and a planet which had been changed forever by the Depression. Such a world-changing event was forecasted only by a few who were not heeded, and became apparent only on those two fateful days -- October 28 and 29, 1929. Can such an event happen again? Evidence suggests that it has happened again, in our very own depression, the Depression of 2008, which we are now living through. 2008 involved the collapse of a credit boom greater than that of the 1920's, which became apparent only in a large crash, the Crash of 2008, which exacerbated the problem. In March of 2009, we started our own monster rally, which has so far taken the stock market 60 percent higher from the lows. Economic data is improving, feeding the beast of stocks. This crash also took place in a deflationary environment, with commodity prices collapsing. There is only one crucial difference -- government intervention. The government since the crash has devoted 23.5 trillion dollars to prop up the markets, buying its own debt, buying mortgage-backed securities, lowering interest rates to zero, and giving bailout after bailout to failing companies. This has averted our Depression from becoming a Great Depression. However, the 23.5 trillion was paid for by debt, most of it purchased by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has doubled the money supply to finance this 23 trillion, and excess reserves in banks are humongous. This money, once it has begun to be lent out when the recovery begins, will flood the economy with dollars, devaluing the currency, and causing rampant inflation. The US could as a result of this endure a hyperinflationary collapse of the currency, economy, and markets which would be multiple times worse than in the 1930's. In this case, the cure may be worse than the disease. Such collapses have happened in the past, incredibly rapid from the original impetus, not more than 4 years. This gives a date of early 2013 at the latest for this collapse to occur. In this case, the US will have to endure another, even worse Great Depression. Whether this will happen or not, what the effects will be, and what will come out of the crisis, only time will tell.  Regular updating will resume this weekend. Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

ABORTING THE MISSION REPLIES: Korot: Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Operation Global Unity, and thus the Foreign Crisis, may be over, but one group is planning to add one final, epilogue chapter to the sprawling historical tale -- the River Bend Regiment for the Preservation of Popular Sovereignty.  In the darkness of nighttime, with a shining half-moon providing some illumination, the militia's cargo ships approached stealthily. They are quite lucky to have made it this far, since Follomerian intelligence had identified them as a "potential hostile". Attention has shifted to celebration since, unbenownst to them, the war ended a few days ago. As their ships approached the dark coast, they prepared to undertake their strike, determined to strike a blow at Follomer's military:  They landed on the beach in rafts, and then cast them out to sea, to be picked up by the cargo ships soon thereafter.  Wary of potential sneak attack, the men moved inland to set up position, and to get close to major cities by daybreak:  Eventually they come across a road, and decide to march up it towards the north:  After marching up about 5 kilometers, they come across a radio station. Fearing that the personnel inside, if any, would inform the military of their presence, they crept up on the station, intent on securing it from the Follomerian government:  To their delight, they discover that the station is unmanned. They press in anyway, intent on getting up-to-date with the news of the day. Listening in on radio channels, they discover that the crisis is over. They have a long discussion while inside the station, and their commander and most of the men decide that the nuclear explosion which occured in Central Follomer was punishment enough for their aggression. The militia moves out and disengages from their planned guerilla operation. They got back on their rafts, and climbed up on their cargo ships, and set a course for Port Franklin, intent on going back home to River Bend, their mission over. They sail past an island at sunrise, their last big milestone until they reach Panama for passage back into the Atlantic:  With the calling off of this strike, and peace now certain between the Allied Powers and the Follomerians, it can be safely said that all parties have had enough of fighting, and now will coexist peacefully... assuming all conditions remain stable. On the Franklinite Agenda for the coming three days after this update are: November 2 -- Executive's Questions November 3 -- Proculian and American Elections November 4 -- Economic Update So stay tuned to Franklin County for these events. They will be quite interesting to all FC viewers. Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

| But aren't those ships equipped with radios? I wonder what would have happened if the decided to blow up the radio tower though, or actually attacked one of the major cities.
Regarding the Proculite Elections: If I'm not mistaking, to this date, there is only one candidate per department, so I is there anyone here who wants to run for a post? (Please take note that it already is 20.45h on 2 November here (making it about 10.45 in Vancouver), so you only have a couple of hours to post.) Regards, Korot |

A TIME FOR QUESTIONING REPLIES: IronicEpitome: Well, they didn't arrive to help Ravenholm anyway. Also, they think that now Follomer has learned their lessons in noninterference Archean: 1) Half an hour? Guess they didn't see much. It's kind of like saying you visited Vancouver but were only at the airport for an hour  .2) They were supposed to be dark. It is nighttime after all  .AstroNelson: Franklinites are a smart bunch. They know to get information when they've been in the dark for a month. Korot: 1) Not these ships. They're not equipped with radios. 2) Like what would have happened without TARP, we may never know. 3) Yes, they are all running unopposed. Nevertheless, we should have an election  .4) To avoid confusion among global viewers, I use UTC for timing. For everyone information, polling will start now and end at the end of November 3 (23:59 UTC).  The Executive of Franklin, Patricius Maximus, came to the Assembly chamber for the first-ever Executive's Questions. Assemblyman Kent Holt (I-Franklin) chaired today's session, which included the questions. Patricius was announced by an advisor with the words "the Executive has arrived for his questions". He was soon sent back to whence he came by the Executive about 7 seconds later. He took up his position in a seat to the left of the chairman, specially placed for this session. Last Friday, 47 out of 51 Assemblymen cast their names in the box, which was then shaken up by an ordinary citizen of Franklin who volunteered for the task. Fast forward to November 2, and he pulled out the first name. The honor of asking the first question of the Executive went to Pat Johnson, an Independent from North Franklin. He asked "Patricius, are you concerned about the debt we have accumulated as a result of FTAI spending and other economic programs, which is greater than our gross domestic product, and if you are not, why?" The Executive turned his chair towards Johnson, and replied, "I am not concerned about the debt, because, number one, the thing to measure is the debt to tax revenue ratio, which is a good number, because we get most of our money from transaction taxes, and number two, the debt must be paid back over a period of one year. I have made a pledge to not support accumulation of debt over the long-term." Johnson went back to his seat, and Holt called on the next name: Karl Flosset, a Conservative from Forest Bluff, who asked, "Mr. Executive, why do you take such a special dislike of the Conservative party in your statements, and why do you think it is any of your affair to opine about party conventions?" Patricius in response declared "I do not take a special dislike of Conservatives. If any other party had their practices I would condemn them as I have done with yours. I am also entitled as a person to possess an opinion concerning any political activity." Flosset then rebutted "Mr. Executive, I'll tell you why. It is because you are a Liberal in Independent's clothing." The chairman then called on the next Assemblyman, Lucius Sol (L) from East Franklin. He asked "With our recent involvement, as people, not as governments, in the Foreign Crisis, I have become worried we are sliding down an interventionist path. Can you give us assurance that the state will not expand our military which would be used in this manner?" Executive Patricius answered, "An expansion of our defensive capabilities into the naval and space arenas are justified for dealing with threats from those theatres, and on your first point, I will not be a part of a state which believes they know better than the people of the state what authority should protect their liberty, and if the Assembly were to ever vote for a war of aggression, I would resign my office." After that murmurs were heard among the Assemblymen. Herbert Laner, a Liberal from River Bend, was next. His question was "Executive, concerning the recent operation of a militia from my district against Follomer, I would like to ask what would be your preferred policy as to their medical care when they get back?" Patricius responded, "The militia will be entitled to the same health benefits as the general population, and I will take steps to remedy any discrimination which may occur." The next person, Marsha Uras, Socialist from Franklin proper, asked, "In our financial crisis we had last September, why did you not advocate for more intervention to stablize the markets.?" To which the Executive said this: "As all of you should know, the market stablized itself." Socialist Assemblyman from East Franklin Jon Assus was next. He asked "Do you support an expansion and acceleration of the space program beyond what is currently in law?" The answer was "I do support this, but the Assembly is soveriegn over these matters." The chairman called on Becky Davis (G-East Franklin), who asked "What is your reasoning for using the term 'Assemblyman' even for female members of the Assembly?" Executive Patricius Maximus answered "My reasoning is that we should not divide the Assembly into two overarching genders, explicity or implicitly." Alex Maddow (L-North Franklin) was called upon next. His question was "Would you support the reduction of your current powers, which in my opinion go beyond your intended role in the Constitution." The Executive responded "The Assembly can repeal the current laws giving me certain appointment powers as they see fit, and I will comply with them." The next question came from Ron Snyderman (I-Northern Plains), who also asked about Executive power. His question was "How long do you plan to stand for election in coming years?" The Executive replied "I cannot say with certainty now, but if I am still reelected, I was thinking about retiring after 5 years." Khan Hamrus, an Independent from River Bend, asked about the American elections. He asked "Who would you vote for Governor of Virginia, Governor of New Jersey, and the New York 23rd District, if you were a resident of these three places?" Patricius said "Hard question." He then paused. "I don't like either candidate in Virginia or the 23rd district, and if I were in New Jersey, I would vote for Chris Dagget," he said. Erika Rove (I-East Franklin) then was called on and asked "Would you support Franklin joining the AFDES Cultural Bureau?" The Executive said a simple "Yes." Aenus Augustus (S-North Franklin) asked "Can I have your guarantee that in the event of a heated session, that you will exercise your power to expel firearms from the chamber?" Patricius said "No. It was not intended to be used for a mere heated session." Tom Conroy, a Liberal, was called on next and asked "Do you have constitutional concerns about the gun provision as it relates to the right to own and hold property." Executive Patricius said "No, but I will abide by any popular review which may come up over this." Alex Fitch, another Liberal, was then called. He questioned "Will you consider constructing the space facility above ground to save money in Franklin Estuary?" Patricius responded "No, because our economy can be better served by preserving most of the surface for normal development." William Altman, an Independent from Hanging Cliff, was the last one to be called. He asked "Would you support a law making this Assembly non-partisan?" A few heads came up. The Executive said in reply "No. Assemblymen are free to be part of any party they choose, as our Constitution protects by the right to association." And with that, Executive's Questions was over. It had taken 16 minutes instead of the expected 30, and some modification of procedure may be necessary for December's questions. The Chronicles described it best, calling it "a very revealing series of questions". The consensus among the Assembly is that it worked as intended. Today also happens to be November 3, and as such, Proculian elections will begin now. Please cast your vote in the poll. Polling will end at 12:00 UTC November 4. Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

| I agree with astronelson, as now a lot of people will have to wait until the next month, whereas not all time allocated for the questions has been used.
Regarding the actual series of questions: The only question that I want to comment on is the one from that conservative, Flores (or something like that): Why doesn't the Executive respond to his remark, proclaiming that the Executive is a liberal in independent clothing? Regarding the Proculite Elections: I'm 100% sure about who is going to win, and I can't wait until tomorrow to see my guess being confirmed. Something that I'd like to note though, is that you have given us less then half a day to vote (post was on 12.48h UTC), which might not be enough to allow everyone (regularly) visiting this thread to cast his/her vote.

| Nick (Ntq$310), the elections have already ended when you posted, (at 02.55h UTC). What you however also should be sad about is that there were only 3 people voting, while there were 6 candidates.
Regarding the Conservative Party in Proculia, if I'm not mistaking, ironicepitome has already 'volunteerd' to start the Proculian Conservative party, so you don't need to. And since only 1/4 of forth of November 2009 is left (UTC time), I (im)patiently wait for the next update. Regards, Korot |

ECONOMIC UPDATE REPLIES: AstroNelson: As I said, modification of procedure may be in order. It'll be settled when next month's questions are scheduled. Korot: 1) The Executive wanted to get on to the next question. 2) Your concerns have been addressed. IronicEpitome: Next month should prove interesting. I am also collaborating with my AFDES colleagues on something big which will happen this month, so keep watch for when it happens  .Ntq$310: 1) I too am disappointed by the fact that all candidates are running unopposed. Still, there's always next May's elections. 2) It appears that IronicEpitome has a similarly-minded person in his midst. He wanted to start a Conservative party as well. Korot: Thanks for pointing that out. The Proculian election has ended today, and Korot's prediction was fulfilled -- all candidates running were elected. Thanks to all who voted, despite the lacking diversity on the ballot. Ironicepitome, Astronelson, Archean, Ntq$310, Crazyarchitect, and Korot, you will by the end of the week be seeing a new thread in your private topics board, and the rest of the viewers will be seeing a Proculian status update. But in the meantime, there is economic and stock market news to report. The FCSE Composite Index was down by 585 points, or 3.47 percent, to close at 16 273. This comes after a 411 point rise yesterday in anticipation of GDP numbers and a better-than-expected employment report, which showed the rate at 3.4 percent. Below is the chart of the Composite since 2008:  This 585 point drop today is due to GDP numbers for October, which, in contrast to the employment report, was weaker than expected, indicating 1.8 percent growth at an annualized rate. Below is the chart showing GDP growth over the past 22 months:  And below is GDP per capita over the same period, showing a strong recovery since April, when the recession bottomed out:  The Bureau of Economic Analysis, despite the findings which did not beat estimates, found a silver lining in the figures -- GDP per capita has hit a new all-time high in October, blowing past the 45 000 mark. Assemblyman Vauban Mont (I), who is also an economist, commented on Atlantic Business Network that expectations were unrealistically high, and aside from that, the numbers are good news. He went on to say that the economy is growing steadily at a good clip, and he expects acceleration in the numbers once infrastructure stimulus reaches its peak. In the last year Mont has had a good track record, predicting in October 2008 that the bursting of the Franklinite housing boom concurrent with the American financial crisis would cause a significant recession in Franklin. He also predicted the recovery pattern to a good degree of accuracy. That's all for now. Please post comments, suggestions, and questions. |

GETTING TO WORK REPLIES: Ntq$310: 1) Yes, it is time to get to work. 2) At least GDP isn't contracting .Archean: 1) Good. You are a great expert on defense and public safety, since you used to run an authoritarian state with a large military  .2) That is post number 2100. Congratulations. Korot: 1) I believd 6 votes were cast. 2) Vauban Mont doesn't give exact numbers, but his prediction is for growth to slowly accelerate through 2010, assuming a major disaster doesn't occur. 3) Then also congratulations on your 800th post. Though your posts may be smaller than some others in number, they pack quite a bit within them. IronicEpitome: I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about it, but do maintain contact with the Cabinet while you're gone. Well, today marks 4 days since the last update. I usually go no more than 3, but yesterday I sat up quite late watching the American House of Representatives, so I had no time for updating. For those of you who may not be aware, the House passed H.R. 3962, the prevailing Democrat health care bill, along with a lot of other wastes of paper which have nothing to do with actual governing. I have strong feelings about the provisions of H.R. 3962, but such concerns belong in the Patrician Blog, not in Franklin County. Away from the tumult of the health care debate across the United States, there is the business of Proculia to attend to.  Proculia is currently in a pristine state, free from any human development. It is the task of the Cabinet in its first session to enact legislation providing for such development, and the construction of essential infrastructure. The Cabinet also needs to elect a Chairman when it meets. This Chairman could be anyone, including me, a Secretary, or an ordinary viewer. I will draw to the Cabinet's attention this plan that I have for establishing freeways. The north-south one will be contiguous with Franklin's Interstate 85. In yellow are areas which are prime for development:  This concludes the report on Proculia. Discussions within the Cabinet will be conducted in the private thread. The results of the proceedings will be made avaliable to the public in a timely fashion. I would advise all Cabinet members to look in their private topics today. Meanwhile, far southeast of Franklin, way out in the Atlantic, something is happening. In addition to Hurricane Ida, there is a new storm, which attained tropical storm status a few hours ago. Its name is Joaquin, and it is taking a northerly track currently located near the Cape Verde Islands. Click the images for full resolution.  This new storm has people in Franklin keeping a watchful eye out because its projected path takes it on a curve which could impact Franklin County. Below is the aforementioned path over the next 3 days:  The storm is expected to slowly gain strength over this time as it moves into unusually warm water. Regular updates concerning Franklinite interests and the storm will be posted. To viewers, please post comments, suggestions, and questions, and to Cabinet members, look in your private topics.
