You're listening to your community idea's station, TPR, Terran Public Radio with Tim Runson.

Hello everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Just as a reminder, tomorrow is Jackson Tuesdays, so make sure you tune in to hear another great broadcast.

Anyway tonight we have a special broadcast due to an event that is happening right now in Terra. As many of you know the Kennedy Dictators had returned and started doing what they do best, open the gates of hell, just like they did to our ancestors. However, the Delterian have just overthrown him and are now with the help of the Holy Luthori Empire, rebuilding their nation and chasing what is left of the Kennedy forces out of Delteria and back into Jeblania. This as many of you know is the second time that the Kenndys have been chased out of Delteria and have scared Terra by coming out of the, as the Imperial Seal-Bearer of Luthori put it, "Pits of Hell!!!!" It was at the end of their first time taking over Delteria, that a composer by the name of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky wrote this piece to celebrate their victory over the Kennedys. This piece he named "2682 Overture"(1812 Overture), in memory of the year that they ousted the Kennedy Dictators and freed their nation. He himself nearly being on his death bed when he finished it, asked his long time friend and native Indralan to conduct the piece for him at the 2683 anniversary ceremony of the freeing from the Kennedys.

So sit back and relax as conductor Seiji Ozawa, conducts at the 2683 anniversary of the freedom from the Kennedys of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky "2682 Overture".

Jackson Tuesdays

Hello Terra, this is Dominic Jackson and we got a fine show for you today folks. Loads of interesting things have been happening since our last broadcast and will be talking about the how each will impact the political field and balance. We also have Cecil Smith with us to speak on the situation going on in Central Macon and Yoshikuni Taki to speak on the emergence of the hammer and sickle in the State of Indrala. So how about you join me? Sit back, grab some cherry juice or just go away if you’re a Kennedy because this is Dominic Jackson and you’re listening to Jackson Tuesdays on Terran Public Radio!

When I was saying a lot has been happening Terra, a lot has been happening. Military engagements, back and forth political bickering and new leaders have been emerging from the halls of legislatures across the globe; of course I’m sure everyone is aware this Indrala-Hanzen situation, you know, its causing some trouble on Dovani and people are upset, concerned etc and etc. I was for one completely caught off guard when I heard the news of the invasion of Hanzen, a small independent country situated in the south-west coroner of Dovani, by the socialist government of Indrala; if you’ve been watching the Indralan News Network, these socialist leaders have just been railing against just about every country you can name and have been slamming imperialists, preaching anti-imperialism etc. Usually when you have a government that is anti-imperialist and isolationist, you don’t think one day they’re going to wake up and decide to invade a country! Obviously a lot of countries are concerned by this, especially countries really close to Hanzen and territories that are held by outside governments; it has just got in that the Hulstrian Governor-General has spoke on his and has basically called them out, saying what they did was not very smart and noted at several points throughout his statement on how ironic this invasion was by anti-imperialists. The Governor-General mentioned other nations on Dovani who hold land there, though while he seemed to not name anyone but I presume he was speaking about Zardugal and Mordusia, both members of the Axis Agreement Organization, the top military organization on Terra right now; a lot of different players and interests are here I can tell you.

Hulstria is known to like to keep them to themselves, being pretty private so obviously this must have been important if you got second highest guy in government next to the Monarch, the Hanzen invasion as well calls from other leaders for them to speak on this, it must have been important. Now Indrala has not yet responded to this but knowing them they probably will; now what I’m telling you listeners is to keep a close eye on this, this will probably stick in the headlines for sometime, possibly for the remainder of the decade. I’m just very curious on why Indrala would invade Hanzen; are they trying to gain reputation? Muscle some other countries? Folks Indrala’s actions are as clear as day, their intentions and reasons are….well there seems to be no real reason why.

Let me head to some music before I take up too much of our broadcast; we will be having Yoshikuni Taki with us after this to go in-depth with me on this Indrala-Hanzen situation! We got a Bad Moon Rising out there, stick inside and stick here with Jackson Tuesdays;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE

Jackson: Alright we’re back here, hope you enjoyed the last track. As promised I’m joined here by Yoshikuni Taki, a former writer for the Indralan News Network and is actually from Indrala. Taki I’m so you could join us!

Taki: Ah yes thank you Mr. Jackson, it is my pleasure to be here.

Jackson: That is great; as you probably heard in the green room, I’m pretty into this whole matter. Would you mind informing our listeners on what exactly is a Hanzen and go into facts about this country?

Taki: Hanzen a deal between the nations of Indrala and Talmoria a long while back; the two governments decided to make that piece of land a “Free Trade Zone”, so more or less it was a giant port for goods and markets for the two countries. It was in place for a long time before a decade or two decades ago the two governments decided, under different leaders obviously, to free it and make it an independent nation. What they didn’t really do was make it really all that big of a deal; they said it was independent and let it go on its way unlike New Englia was very much taken care of by various nations during its first years of independence and a lot of time was invested in the growth of New Englia, unlike Hanzen. Don’t get me wrong Mr. Jackson, Hanzen has done well for itself retaining some of the markets left over by the free trade zone deal.

Jackson: So was the Free Trade Zone born out of economic cooperation or because a dispute?

Taki: The latter; Talmoria and Indrala said they had claim to Hanzen so they decided to instead make it a free trade zone for again markets and goods to prevent conflict. Of course back then Talmoria was in the position to actually show muscle and strength; today, mainland Talmoria can’t really do anything because of internal conflict but that is another segment!

Jackson: You got that right. So what caused Hanzen to become independent? Why the change of heart by Indrala and Talmoria?

Taki: Well you see during this time where Hanzen was in the process of becoming independent, Talmoria was going through internal political conflict and just got off of a civil war. They just lost their colonies to the Orange-Villyan branch of the Rothingren-Traugotts from the Holy Luthori Empire and to the Zardugal Federation; as a result they got Indrala to free up Hanzen and for the past decade or two it has been independent. I’m not sure if they had a change of heart, I think both sides didn’t really care for it that much either, unfortunate to say.

Jackson: To modern day Indrala; what do you make of the invasion of Hanzen?

Taki: For one it was unprovoked and very sudden as you pointed out.

Jackson: Why do you think Indrala did this, invading Hanzen?

Taki: Also, like you pointed out Jackson, they may have done this to gain reputation, show their might to the Dovani powers. They could have showed might to do something with their already existing colonies on Dovani but obviously they didn’t do that.

Jackson: So why are these anti-imperialists going out and very imperialist things, like taking over nations?

Taki: That I’m confused on; from recent articles they want to create a Federation of states of some sort of socialist countries or liberated colonies that will live under Marxism etc, the “Zen Socialist” lifestyle. I find it ironic and an oxymoron to the fact that a Marxist wants to create more government and more institutions, goes against the very simple principles of that ideology.

Jackson: Who knows Taki, we’ll find out, maybe or maybe not. Taki. Thank you for joining us here.

Taki: Yes, thank you.

Jackson: Folks stick around though ask yourself, with all that has been happening, Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NiE1p0h7HM

Hey folks we’re back; once thanks to Taki for stopping by and providing that very helpful insight. Let’s see what else is in the news shall we?

We got some more news coming out of Hulstria; the Emperor there, well now the former Emperor, Alexander I died from a heart attack and now his son, Godric, is expected to succeed him. From the Greater Hulstrian Chronicle Alexander was apparently inspecting some he planted and had a heart attack; it says he experienced chest pain before experiencing the attack. He was rushed too the hospital but It must have been fruitless because he died of heart failure shortly after. I’m very sorry to hear about that, here to his son who will have to fill some pretty good shoes.

Oh lets look at Beiteynu, everyone just loves them. From the Beiteynu Broadcasting Channel, the country is going through some major capitalist and free market reforms there; the SekoCola Company is making reigns in Beiteynu as is several banking corporations. Hey, good for them, I just hope they don’t start building robot hospitals or anything like that; Beiteynu could very well emerge as an economic power if they play their cards right which looking at their history doesn’t happen very often.

I’m kidding Beiteynu! Believe me, the Kennedies have been in a lot worse shape these past few months than Beiteynu. If anyone remembers who the Kennedys are, they are the infamous inbred, not kidding, royal family that has particular ruled in nations like Jelbania. A long while ago, maybe a century and a half, they were assassinated and this caused their family to fall apart. They were erased from Terra political life; they re-emerged in Jelbania and took over Deltaria to bring it into Union with Jelbania. Lets just say guys nobody liked this; the Holy Luthori Empire along with other nations were ticked off by this and Luthori actually sent troops into Deltaria to suppress the Kennedys, which they did and it is safe to say we won’t see the Kennedy around for a very, very long time. You want to know a funny fact? The last Kennedy that bestowed upon us, his coronation robes, was a comic book hero’s jumpsuit. Yeah I’m King but I’m going to wear this suit I wore when I was 13 trick or treating, get a life you Kennedy people! Good riddance!

From the Zardic World Report, a fine newspaper, it looks as if the Zardugal Federation found a massive load of oil; I was amazed by this news report. Big props to Zardugal; hey Zardugal, mind sending some oil my way? Maybe give me a discount?

Speaking of the Zardics and the Zardugal Federation, from the same newspaper there was an article on Kostandian IV, which the headline was the “Last Best Hope”. I remember this man long ago, maybe in the 2770s when he was the Foreign Affairs Minister for Zardugal and I remember watching him on television conducting interviews etc, I’m going to say this guy is impressive. It is very interesting to watch him speak and speak on the issues; anyhow before I make it seem I’m trying to get him to hire me as his assistant, this article saying he was not running for the Director-General post in Zardugal after holding it for quite some time and said he would be stepping down from his post as the chairman of the Federal Republican Party. He also spoke about the vacant Field Marshall position within the Axis Agreement Organization, the largest political and military organization right now but did not say if he was going to be Field Marshall and take up the post. Like him or not but has done quite a lot for Zardugal, I know he’ll remain active in Zardugal though it quite honourable of him to step aside for a new generation, new leadership to take their own reigns. Good for him, good to luck to em!

One last break, when we come back we got Cecil Smith to discuss what is going on in Central Macon; this is Jackson Tuesdays, stick with us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hwE0slNd3Y

Jackson: Welcome back; as promised here is Cecil Smith, a journalist in Central Macon that has been following the recent royal shake ups in Central Macon which we will talk about. Mr. Smith, how are you today.

Smith: Jackson I’m going very well, I’m doing better just being here!

Jackson: Haha you want to wipe some of that brown stuff of your nose Mr. Smith? I’m just playing around there Cecil; lets get down to business. Now from what it is reported out of Central Macon is that the country is going to be split up into five Kingdoms with a King of Kings that will lead all of them? Am I getting this right?

Smith: Yes; from the Act of Union of 2814 Central Macon is now five royal houses instead of the House Lusk, the traditional ruling family within the country, with a King of Kings yes at the top of the helm. The head King is elected and is chosen from one of the five houses and he serves for life; when he dies, the cycle repeats itself.

Jackson: Five royal houses? Don’t you think that can cause instability and not very much unity?

Smith: That is a concern; when you have 5 major royal families in one nation and only one can be Emperor, which has to be voted on by these families, you’re going to run into roadblocks and some serious problems. Who says these families will be united 20 years from now, there may be a massive power struggle and the nation could be tossed into civil war.

Jackson: What about the House Lusk, what happens to them?

Smith: Well, in the Act of Union of 2814, it stated that any House Lusk member living in Central Macon upon passing of that act would be killed on sight and/or without trail. This alarmed the House of Rothingren-Traugotts in Hulstria who alerted the International Monarchist League and offered the House Lusk political asylum at one of their residences in Hulstria until they could return back; to my knowledge they accepted. However the King of Rilandor has managed to speak with the group behind this 5 kingdoms concept and worked out a deal to reverse that line in that legislation to get the House Lusk back into Central Macon.

Jackson: So they are back in Central Macon?

Smith: Once the 5 Kingdoms approve, they will re-enter.

Jackson: Why this sudden change in government? The House Lusk has governed very well.

Smith: As with the Indrala-Hanzen situation, this was very sudden and out of the blue. Many were caught off guard by this; hopefully with the House Lusk returning to Central Macon, they may bring back some sense into the country and see if they can do any reforms in that government system that is doomed to fail.

Jackson: The world will be watching Mr. Smith; I want to thank you for coming on and we’ll invite you back when more is happening in Central Macon alright buddy?

Smith: Sounds good; thank you for having me.

Jackson: Thank you folks for listening. I'm Dominic Jackson telling you to always stay connected with the news and always keep your channel right here, on Terran Public Radio.

OOC: Hello everyone, well I am sorry for not posting but due to school it is becoming really hard to do those 4 days of the week. If anyone would like to have a program on here, just run it by me first with the date and what it is, and you should be able to do it. I think it would be neat to have a news show that covers the main headlines of Terra for the week, kind of like a summary. We could even then have a finance show that could pridict by what little of an economy we do have, how stocks are going to go, and so on. I will probably be cutting back to just one or two days a week at least for now, so there will be plenty of space open. Anyway enjoy.

Good evening everyone, this is Jimmy Frenken here on Special Fridays.

For tonight’s piece we go to the nation of the Federation of Zardugal, to listen to the Jazz Clarinet Master of Terra, Benny Goodman, and his Swing Orchestra.

The name of the song is "Sing, Sing, Sing", and is the song that launched this local Band into the Terran spotlight in the late 2460s.

Benny Goodman started this band to bring on a new age of fast swing into Terra, and it sure did have an impact on the music world as many jumped up and just danced the night to this all time classic.

The master may be dead but his music still lives on swing the night away, in this 2478 recording of the piece.

So jump up and swing around the dance floor to the master of Swing music and the Clarinet legend of Zardugal, Benny Goodman’s “Sing Sing Sing”.

Jackson Tuesday

Hello everybody, welcome to another broadcast of my show. It has been a very busy political season listeners, lots of interesting things have been going on that you probably have missed; well this is why they hired me, to inform you and give you a colorful insight on what is going on in this very populated, very tense world. I’ll be speaking on the recent developments in Indrala, the Beiteynu economic situation, the very interesting electoral results in Tukarali, and many others. How about you stick with me? Sit back, enjoy some coffee or the last stocks of the Maximilian Company before it collapses because this is Dominic Jackson and you’re listening to Jackson Tuesdays!

Let’s start off with news coming out of the Commonwealth of Barmenia. For the past decade or so things have been going well for them, I give them that. Though in the recent article of the Barmenian Commonwealth Times I read that they are having some trouble with some drug dealers and some slave traders, yes you heard me correctly listeners, in the northern regions of the country. Is it me or has the slave trade been rising in the world since the turn of the century? I mean you had communist Vorona engage in slave trade for over a decade and now you have a certain section of Barmenia roaming with slave traders. Reverting back to this article, the Barmenian government has considered putting up its military to handle the problem but that was shot down, some are calling for the police to handle it. Well….who has been handling this situation so far? If it is the police, maybe they shouldn’t rely on them so much and maybe send some of their armed forces to quell this horrible practice of slavery. Get a handle on this Barmenia!

My goodness how about the elections in Tukarali! Both parties, the National Conservative Party and the Solidarity Action Party, received 250 seats each! Let me repeat that, over 206 million people voted, both parties got 250 seats. They both jointly have a majority stake in their legislature. The Conservatives did though receive the most votes and did capture the Tukrali presidency but this must stink for them, how they are going to get anything done? I have never seen anything like this Terra, this is very unique and strange!

I mentioned this in the opening about Beiteynu; if you remember and if you listened in on the last broadcast, I spoke a bit about the rise of production and economic prosperity within Beiteynu, I spoke about some of their new free market reforms and about some new companies setting up shop in Terra’s Jewish homeland. I recorded the BBC, the Beiteynu Broadcasting Corporation, the other night and it has been reported that the “Benier Corporation” have closed all their banks within Beiteynu because apperantly they weren’t satisfied with the profit they were making. I mean why else would you just pack up and go? The market must really be horrible right? Well if it wasn’t then it was sure a nightmare after their formal closings with drove stocks down into the deep red. This massive bank closure has caused a major economic crisis in that nation and unemployment has risen, the economy is in shambles etc. I don’t know about you guys but this is weird; every time it seems I talk about a corporation or a nation’s economy, a few days later they go in the toilet! I talk about Vanuku and their robot nurses, next day Slaycorp’s CEO resigns and we have since to hear from that company; I talk about Beiteynu, their economy implodes onto itself! What is going on!?

I know I’m going to get calls from some companies trying to bribe me to talk about their competitors to try to put them out of business but I don’t think I’m be playing in that game. Alright let’s take a break, in particular let’s take a Free Ride in this economic mess, we deserve it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWpND8GhBuU

Welcome back.

News from Telamon; looks like they got a united coalition out. That is good for them considering the mess between them and Lodamun. I have tried really hard to figure out what is the problem between these two countries, it seems like everyday a government Minister is coming out and bad talking the other nation or other parties. Guys, this is the international community, this is politics, not the blacktop during 4th grade recess.

Oh, one of my producers handed me this. Looks like I forgot to mention the economic problems of that of the Maximilian Company in Kafuristan, remember they literally bought the nation, when I was talking about Beiteynu. Seems like Max and friends are going through some times as well; are we seeing the end of the Maximilian Company in Kafuristan as we know it? We’ll keep on this as updates develop.

Let’s take one quick break; when we come back I’ll be speaking about Indrala. Keep with us here Jackson Tuesdays, on Terran Public Radio.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVZRpyN1_mI

To finish off the broadcast I will talk on Indrala for a few minutes. Oh boy what a mess it is in Indrala, at least for the socialists. Those guys have been touting their horn for years and just recently got their butts handed to them in the Indralan elections where they lost terribly. Don’t mean to be disrespectful but the Nationalista Party cleared out the socialists, they even won back the presidency. This it looks like was enough for the socialists to implode and cease to be, literally. The new president of Indrala has ordered all troops out of Hanzen, rendering it independent once again though obviously very scarred from this incident; the Hulstrian Governor-General has called on for international support for Hanzen, who knows may come out of this. As of now Terra, this very weird and this very tense chapter in not only Dovani history but in Terran military conflicts is done and over with. I’m sure many government officials and nations are very happy about this.

Thank you guys for listening; next week we’re going to have some interview segments that will be interesting so tune it. I'm Dominic Jackson telling you to always stay connected with the news and always keep your channel right here, on Terran Public Radio.

[Duke Matthus]

OOC: I know it has been a while, but RL has been busy. Anyway, since it is December I thought I do Christmas songs until Christmas. If anyone has any suggestions, just tell me your nation and if you want the history behind the song you want me to post. It does not have to be Christmas music, but Holiday music for now would be preferred.

Anyway Enjoy!!!!

Good evening everyone, this is Tim Runson you're listening to TRP, Terran Public Radio.

Tonight’s song is one of the most treasured in my home nation, Luthori. The song is a hymn written during the days of the First Crusade to liberate Yishelem. The child as you can assume is referring to our savior, young Jesus Christ, and has been played in the Cathedrals across the Empire for ages.

So sit back and relax to this timeless hymn that puts us all into the spirit of the holidays.

You're listening to your community idea's station, TPR, Terran Public Radio with Tim Runson.

Tonight's piece is an old carol with a new twist to it, thanks to the contemporary composer David Foster, a native of the nation of Republic of Egelion. The piece Carol of the Bells, while not much is known about it, has many historians believing it originated from somewhere in the old Delterian Empire in the days of not too long after the splitting of the Orthodox and Terran Catholic Churches.

This version highlights many new interesting and fun electric sounds on top of a great symphonic score.

So sit back and relax to "Carol of the Bells".
