HOT! HOT! HOT!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Ginthetics has the world’s hottest pepper

Alex S.

Today a simple pepper farmer made an important discovery. This important discovery was made at 8:11 am. The farmer found the world’s hottest pepper. This pepper was growing in the westerly region of Ginthetics. This farmer was trying to boost his pepper sales so he went to the far edges of his field where strange things grow.
This occurrence will boost pepper exports from Ginthetics. As a direct result the economy will benefit. This major discovery will not only increase the taste of our food, but has a chance to really heat up the nation. The bad thing about this is few can tolerate the pepper. On the other hand, since few can handle it the sales will sky rocket because others will want to test their mettle.

This reminds me of the time when we first decided what economy we would be. It was decided that we would be socialists. Because of this individuals decide how much they can produce. However this one farmer has acres of this pepper and plans to plant more.

HOORAH!

HOORAH!

Life Goes On

Alex S.

Wondrous news has been brought to our nation! At 8:17 in the morning this reporter learned that the population has increased by 20%. The citizens of Ginthetics rejoice at this announcement. This miracle came from a series of native tribes and baby boomers. These tribes had always been a part of Ginthetics but never fully accepted the rule of King Nate and Pope Justin III. Now they have.

This occurrence will bolster our people’s confidence in the nation. Not only that but it will increase our forces and increase the amount of people able to perform jobs. This could drive us forward in technologies as we gain new ideas and such. Also in the ongoing war with the Maul Cops we can bring some of our young men back, now that the Army won’t be shorthanded should His Highness decide to do just that.

This reminds us of the tragedy earlier this week. Yes I speak of the tragic mass death of 15% of our population. We should all remember that day but look towards this new one. Where we not only gained back the 15% percent we lost but we also gained an extra 5%.

Massive Death Toll

Ginthetian News

Massive Death Toll

Alex S.

Today is a sad day in Ginthetics. Shortly after 8:00 in the morning 15% of the total population was lost. Ginthetics is located in the south-easterly part of Canada. Pope Justin III plans to give a mass sermon for the multitudes of departed souls. This event was a freak accident caused by an anomaly in the geography of our nation. These anomalies caused a massive electrical shock to course through the outskirts of our nation and claim the lives of our citizens.

This occurrence will affect the ongoing war with the Maul Cops. Our people will suffer because we lost more of our farmers, who not only feed our troops but feed our nation. King Nate will be hard pressed to find a quick solution to the problems we now face. If King Nate can’t solve the problem, our small nation could lose the war with the Maul Cops and be overrun. Even if we don’t lose, this reporter can see a steady decline in the morale of the nation, leading to economic stress and the eventual downfall of our newly formed monarchy. The people cry to Pope Justin III to stop this so called “apocalypse” but one wonders if it can be stopped.

This reminds one of our first battles with the Maul Cops. We lost 25% during our first loss but quickly brought the enemy down 50%. The plan is to try and find new technologies or new food sources to help rebuild our population. sunrise through trees

GINTHETICS

THIS MEANS WAR!!
Today at 8:32 am Ginthetics declared war on the Maul Cops. Ginthetics was aided by their ally from the North the OneManWolfPack. Maul Cops lies to the west of Ginthetics and to the south of OneManWolfPack. These two countries had earlier formed a treaty of peace and proceeded to “squeeze the enemy into submission” said OneManWolfPack leader Steve. The decisive victory against the Maul Cops caused them to lose 25% from Ginthetics, and 25% from OneWolfPack in the first two battles. In the second battle OneManWolfPack lost 25% against the Maul Cops. In the third battle Ginthetics and the Maul Cops had a draw and both lost 25%. The Maul Cops are still around and Ginthetics will still be working with OneManWolfPack to bring them down.

 


Government
Today at 7:56 am Ginthetics ceased to be a loose knit tribe with members vying for chief of the clan. Today we became a monarchy. ALL HAIL KING NATE AND POPE JUSTIN III!! Decisions are made by a small group of wealthy family members. Power is gained through hereditary bloodlines. Some of the cons of the monarchy are the possibility of a civil uprising. There is the possibility of warfare, possibly even warfare between the bloodlines. During said warfare or any type of crisis the society divides. Corruption has the possibility to run rampant and will remain unreported. On the other hand the pros of our choice of government are that we are prepared for war. Ginthetics Go Bragh. Which loosely translated means “Ginthetics Forever”.
 
Economics

Along with the choice of government came the choice of a form of economy. His Royal Majesty King Nate and Pope Justin III have decided to become a Socialist Monarchy. Socialism is a state directed economy where workers choose what they produce, how much they will produce and the price of consumer goods is guided by the demand of a product. The cons with Socialism are the government can’t address economic disasters. The quantity of valuable items is not easy to achieve. The lack of job opportunities may create a civil uprising. However, the pros of being a socialist state are the quality of goods is easily achieved. Plus wealthy individuals can provide for the less fortunate.

FOOD

FOOD!


FOOD HAS EXPANDED IN GINTHETICS

Alex

Today, Ginthetics saw a fifteen percent rise in food resources. Ginthetics leaders King Nate and Pope Justin III  said this was an unexpected event. “This food increase came from nature and our people’s determination” said King Nate. Corn has been the main plant, however many fruits such as the apple, are popping up all over. Pope Justin III says this came at the right time. “We have plans, big plans, for our nation. These crops will help us achieve our goals”. This almost miraculous event occurred on Friday May 14, 2010 shortly before 9 o’clock in the morning. Most of the crops are growing in the middle of Ginthetics. In addition many fruits have been spotted growing in the southern region of the nation.

This event occurred because of the rains a few days ago. What started out as a simple rainstorm became a miracle. The soil got the extra water it needed to start sprouting the crops. Johlil, a farmer, was interviewed shortly after the first extra stalks appeared. “Yep, it was bound to happen,” said Johlil, “These extra crops will sure help the economy”.
