Waste land zero and Orcuo
This region's arembee is predominantly foreigners, and here I am to increase that amount! :)
Now that's a spelling of RMB that I've never seen before. I like it!
SLAVERY!!!
We, The Intelligence Newspaper writing the article with all journalistic honesty. We're sure in this fact: slave trading in Thaecia is exist! In the article we will proof it for YOU.
We have an intercepted message from largest private company in Thaecia. We'll not say the name because it will use corruption and lobbying to shut up us, but it's very easy to guess it. Let's see it:
Thank you for your offer.
We don't know, who was suggested this purchase, but we are know that 'tis message was sent to the Thaecian company. We tell you about one example of slave trading in Thaecia, but how many deals like this now are unknown. Let's read third and eleventh rights of Thaecian constitution:
11. The right to personal privacy;
If Thaecia will not take action, that is hypocrisy! HYPOCRISY!
We call the government of Thaecia to seriosly investigate the issue and be solidary with innocent and unfortunate people, who has been selled to cruel corporations by another cruel corporations.
FREE THESE SLAVES!
Hi guys, I’m the Republic of Aiyland from Thaecia. I’m Vice Delegate there, and I’m currently looking to expand my experiences in other regions, in order to prepare me for a higher role.
Anyway Intelligence newspaper has written another article about ’slavery in Thaecia’, this time condemning me because I work/run for another newspaper there.
I might take this to the Thaecian High Court if he has bad intents for this but I would like to get your opinion on it :)
The article is the latest dispatch he has written.
I’ve already asked this question in The Grey Wardens so I’m looking for more opinions on the situation.
False. Not the latest.
It was Trans-continental mining corporation. In this article we will tell you, why is slave selling is ignored by Thaecian government.
The Republic of Aiyland, VICE-DELEGATE of Thaecia, is endorse Trans-continental mining corporation! This fact is proof that Thaecian government turns a blind eye to slavery.
In title to our article we asked a question:
Let we give you it's reaction:
I’m a subscriber to the [censored], one of the best newspapers in NationStates! Become a subscriber today! First issue will be 29th May.
Let's think that second line is a joke. Look at first one: "I don't". That means that Republic of Aiyland doesn't give a damn about SLAVERY in Thaecia. If it was usual country of Thaecia, it will not be new. We all know that Thaecian countries are the most corrupted in the world, but it's VICE-DELEGATE of THAECIA! So, no wonder that slavery bloomed in THAECIA! We appeal to every nation of Thaecia to END the totalitarian nightmare in Thaecia, which masquerading as democracy. Let's look at Thaecian constitution another time:
The right to equal protection under the law;
The right to personal privacy;
Now Thaecian constitution is usually piece of paper that is dirty in BLOOD of innocent People Who have been made products to sell!
FREE THESE SLAVES
Let We repeat it: We aren't give a damn about your newspaper, that isn't exist.
Innocent until proven guilty. I'm personally hardly convinced it's anything other than slander without any hard evidence. Hopefully, your courts feel the same.
Who's intentions? We can tell you about Our intentions right now: We want to free Thaecian slaves (unlike you, of course). We don't accuse you of slave trading, we accuse you of turning a blind eye to this.
Booger Hole, West Virginia
In 1917, the community was subjected to "about a dozen" murders during a short period of time. Although folklore has it that the community's name derived from this violence – "booger" being a local usage for the "boogieman" – a contemporary press account clearly shows that the community was already called "Booger Hole" at the time of the murders.

Cut and Shoot, Texas
According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was over:
The design of a new steeple for the town's only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there, or
The conflicting land claims among church members.
Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly said he was scared and declared, "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name.
