MASSIVE MILITIA & FIESTA
The People's Assembly have agreed to President Santos' proposal to issue a War Bond worth fifty cheese, allowing the Revolution to raise three additional regiments of Infantry, and a second Cavalry and Artillery formation. It is now believed that the Mauxican Defence Forces muster over three thousand Mice under arms.
In further military news, Leo Trotzkostromkoy the Lesser has been appointed Commander of the Armed forces, with Bobr Morski commissioned as Lieutenant. Trotzkostromkoy has a reputation as a fearsome fighter, ejected from Mausropa for supporting the wrong side in a coup. This paper can only hope that Commander Leo has chosen the "right" side in this liberation struggle. It is believed that the Militia has spent the season drilling, and that some units are now believed to be equal to the Crimsonian regulars.
As an end of Season act, President Santos has held a Grand Fiesta to celebrate the achievements of the Revolution so far. This fabulous party has calmed the fears of many mice, and made Santos the most popular political mouse in Mauxica.
POLIONITUS PRESIDENT
Polioitius Tuttle, Lawyer, Writer, Businessmouse, and Publisher has been elected President of the People's Assembly, defeating former President Santos six votes to three. It is unclear what policies Polionotus will pursue. It remains to be seen if Polionotus will be as popular with the crowds as Santos has been.
In what has been a very wet Season, experts predict that armies will have a great deal of difficulty moving through the mud and steam. The weather also seems to have had the effect of dampening enthusiasm - recruiters report that many fewer mice are volunteering to serve in the Militia. Additional grants of cheese may be needed to form regiments.
CRIMSONIA RESPONDS
Governor Marshal Musculus had printed and distributed an open letter from the Senate, responding in part to the requests made by the People's Assembly. It is reprinted here in the interests of open information.
The Asadero Revolutionary naturally rejects this blatant propaganda! Our People's Assembly represents the will of the Citizen of Mauxica (for the moment!). It was Marshal Musculus' stupidity that led to revolt in the first place! The Senators from Mauxica that serve in Crimsonia are outnumbered Five hundred and ninety-four to six! The entire system is rigged in favour of the rich majority in Mausropa, who impose their will upon us, the poor minority. The People's Assembly must stand against this tyranny, and defend Mauxica, and the Revolution!
Long Live the Revolution!
FIESTA FEVER!
President Polionitus has held a great Fiesta to calm unrest across Mauxica, and has gained significantly in popularity as a result. Four delegates have contributed funds towards this celebration.
Not to be outdone, Wenslius Maximouse has held his own fiesta, funded entirely by his own fortune. Unrest across Mauxica is the lowest it has been since the Revolution began. The popumice is fat and happy.
The People's Assembly continues to debate the President's agenda. Commander Leo has been demoted to Lieutenant, while Bobr Morski has been promoted to lead the Army. Luisa Cotija has been added as a Lieutenant to support Morski. No new units have been formed this season, with the budget primarily focussed on repaying War Bonds and restoring financial security.
The Assembly is also debating establishing a committee tasked with responding to the open letter from the Senate.
It is too wet for anything else to occur.
