Good afternoon to all, I am here to today to announce news regarding our nation and expansion. The region known as "Maine" is famous for it's vast, green forests. These forests would allow us to use our own wood rather than importing it from other countries. Both the small council and the Lord Paramount believe that this would greatly benefit out nation.

Wood is not the only resource plentiful in Maine. Copper and Zinc deposits are spread throughout the region, but there is great difficulty in mining them, but rest assured, we will try our best.

We are aware that obtaining this region would border us to Nova Scotia. We assure Nova Scotians that we have peaceful intentions and hope that this will not damage our current relations. As a sign of friendship, we offer Nova Scotia our famous Bostonian Tea.

Lord Maelor Chashul has stated that the region named "Maine" has been annexed. As we speak, Chasse forces are securing the area. Paramount Areton Chashul and the Small Council have confirmed these reports. Soon after the message given by Lord Maelor, the Lord Paramount stated that they have already gathered 40,000 citizens to relocate to this area.

There have been reports of some natives resisting the military occupation, but Colonel George Pick has released a message saying that they (the natives) will be dealt with in a swift manner. Thank you for tuning into the first edition of CNN, enjoy the rest of your evening!
