All Your Spies Are Belong To Us

Thoenen Helios, recently caught as a spy within the Empire of Antica, is now allegedly up to some new antics. Just recently, a new person came to Feianova with the name of "Bruce". He applied and received citizenship through their assembly, and accused Jouker Sendler of being an informant for Antica and Shireroth, which sparked Mr. Sendler's resignation of citizenship in Feianova.

Now, this all being interesting enough in itself, one might think that the story ends here, but in fact, the story has not begun. The real story is that Thoenen is this "Bruce". While admitted personally, the public proof of this is for anyone to take a look at the Ezbaord profile of "Revolution2020", and you will see that this person has the email address of this "Bruce", yet the same AIM screen name as Thoenen. He claims that he "intended to be caught", although this is arguable whether that is true, or simply Thoenen trying to save some of his dignity.

Feianova- Who says no good things can come from war? Recent alligations against the Feianovan Commune saw a tripling in the average number of visits to the nations forums on June 28. The nation is also celebrating the return of founder, Sander Dieleman, and three new citizenship applications in the past week.

Shireroth/Feianova Tensions flared at forums across the microworld after it was claimed this week that Feianovan agents were infiltrating Antica's forums. Babkha, Shireroth, MNN and Feianovan forums all had threads with more than two pages arguing over the unfolding events. Things seem to have settled down now, with Shirerothian citizens now arguing over wether they despise Amerada or Cyberia more, and how crappy their forums are.

Cyberia- Cyberia has decided to join the MCS Map, after what appears to be a long time not on it. They have requested, however, that should they leave, their part of the map go with them.

Newcomer Navland will then face off against the football heavyweights from Treesia.

The Helios Scandal

FEIANOVA CITY, FEIANOVA/AQUILARIA, ANTICA/KAMALSHAHR, BABKHA - A major espionage scandal has been uncovered over the last week that threatens to engulf the Feianovan community, with special ramifications also appearing in Babkha, where a Feianovan dual-citizen, Theonen Helios, has been placed under an order to keep the peace by the Supreme Court, in what appears to be the preliminary act to an indictment.

On June 24th, the Dinarchy of Antica published allegations that citizen Theonen Helios, was involved in efforts on behalf of Feianova to cause a general war against Antica. To this end Helios is alleged to have fed the Kingdom of Babkha false information concerning the imminence of an Antican attack on the Babkhan infrastructure. The Babkhan Shah responded to the Antican allegations by acknowledging that his government had been aware that Helios was involved in spreading disinformation but declined to elaborate.

It appears that Helios was caught after separate investigations by the Antican Intelligence Service and the Imperial Babkhan Army into alleged “papel� Ethan Aster and a “dodgy dossier� provided by Thoenen Helios were linked by the Shirerithian intelligence agency SHINE.

In Babkha the allegations have been deemed serious enough to merit legal proceedings being brought against Helios. In Kamalshahr the bureaucracy has been assembling over the weekend the mechanisms for a trial. With Associate Justice Ardashir Osmani binding over Helios to keep the peace in the Kingdom of Babkha, until such time as his case is brought to trial, and the Shah inviting a neutral third party to take the post of Director of Public Prosecution on a 30-day contract, it is reported from contacts in the Babkhans Vizierate of Home Affairs that an indictment might be issued as soon as next Monday (June 28th).

Thoenen Helios has resigned all Micronational citizenships in an attempt to head off retribution and has also published apparent confession. Nonetheless critics of teh impending legal action against Helios have questioned whether Babkha has any jurisdiction in this matter as the accused is now no longer a Babkhan. However, sources close to the Shahyiar Palace have countered by pointing out that crimes alleged to have occurred while a person was a Babkhan citizen still need to be addressed by the court to, firstly, assert the supremacy of the law and, secondly, to confirm one way or another the accused's innocence or guilt.

The Helios scandal has, moreover, caused some confusion in Babkha, with the Supreme Court having issued an order stopping the declaration of Thoenen Helios as a traitor. Most bizarrely, Grand Vizier Rakesh Ackbar, who made the original petition that led to the ruling, appeared to be petitioning against his own government, which in turn responsibility in some part for the administration of Babkha’s ezboard. There have been some calls for his resignation if he intends to be, as is speculated, Thoenen Helios’ defence council, on the grounds of a conflict of interest that might well arise from the head of government defending a former citizen accused of betraying that selfsame government.

What is unclear is the extent to which other Feianovan dual citizens in Babkha were aware or involved in the alleged occurrences. If their invlovement was as extensive as the Anticans claim, the possible rogue activities of one individual could soon become clouded in a major Intermicronational crisis.

The case continues...

Feianova - Problems with the Feianovan forums were finally laid to rest a few weeks ago week with the launch of new micronational portal, www.mncentre.net. Visit the new website to find out the pages hosted thereon.

Feianova: Relations between Feianova and Antica have stalled, with the passage of an act in Feianova restricting citizens other than the Director of External Affairs from traveling to the nation. Feianova took the action in an attempt to limit activity in Antica.

Antica: Antica has moved onto heightened security this week for reasons which they do not appear to be sharing, even with their own security forces. They also appear to have received a new citizen in the form of a new micronationalist, a rarity these days.
