Ok here we go another WR, welcome our new Canadaian player, In world 
news the Vladivastok peace conference has collapsed with the US and 
CHina accusing each other of breaking treaties, Media pundits have 
commented on how 'tired and stressed' president williams looked.

ACTION RESPONSES
=============================

CHINA (PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF)

Population Approval: 55%
Government Approval: 57%
International Favor: 45%
Economic Growth: 9.7%, high
Inflation: 3.0%
Unemployment: 10.1%

The Chinese government has has a hell of a week, the warfare in North 
Korea continues to bog down troops, and the Vladivastok conference was 
chaos especially with South Korea wanting the reunificiation.

Internally the Chinese Police are starting to get the message on human 
rights, and the last protest didn't have as many deaths though some 
prisoners were beaten after they surrendered.

In other news massive DDOS attacks began to hit the great firewall, 
trying to crash as much of it as possible, almost as if a deliberate 
strike has been carried out.  THe Firewall cracked down in 3 seperate 
occasions. Each time giving CHinese citizens unfettered web access.

CHinese government websites began to crash, and links on them were 
redirected to either videos or Rick Astley, something called 2girls1cup 
(DO NOT GOOGLE THIS PEOPLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GOOGLE THIS) and 
the main Chinese govermnet website was replaced with a message.

Greetings Chinese dictators, we are anonymous.
we have declared war on china...
Your government has repressed society, has imprisoned protestors has 
executed for actions which are not criminal.
we will not rest until you are a democracy
we will not surrender untill China is Free
We are everwhere
we are Legion
We are many
End transmission.

Millions of dollars has been siphoned from the people's bank, and the 
main Television station computer has found itself under siege.

JAPAN

Population Approval: 52%
Government Approval: 53%
International Favor: 61%
Economic Growth: 2.8%
Inflation: 0.6%
Unemployment: 4%

Japan is now nervous. The media holds dueling accounts of the summit 
from MFA sources blaming the summit failure on China, Japan, the US, 
South Korea, and North Korea...in mutually exclusive versions, 
naturally. Protests throughout Japan are intense at the immigration 
changes - verging on riots in less homogenous regions, with attacks 
reported even on JETs, the foreigners who come into Japanese schools to 
help teach English and help Japanese kids get used to seeing 
non-Japanese people. The Civil Service cutback plans result in the 
Sohyo, the union representing most public sector workers, announcing a 
strike throughout the public service, planned for at least one week 
starting May 1.

CANADA

Population Approval: 40%
Government Approval: 36%
International Favor: 50%
Economic Growth: 2.5%
Inflation: 5.6%
Unemployment: 6.2%

The sudden interest in the expansion of the Military is met with both 
positives from folks who want the soldiers to have the best of the best 
but the desire to purchase nuclear subs has resulted in protests across 
the country, from those on the left who think to use nuclear subs would 
be a disaster, and from those on the right who argue it's too little too 
late.

With the liberal government there is a lot more argument about the use 
of nuclear powered submarines, and several members have expressed 
displeasure at the desire to join the nuclear club.

The expansion of rail has been met better though environmentalists are 
more upset over the destroying of natural timber for the railroads, and 
several protests have gotten more direct and some have even clashed with 
RCMP officers with several injuries and arrests.  In addition to that 
buildings were damaged and riots have broken out.

Media sources in Canada have been hammering the government hard for 
trying to turn Canada in to an armed fort.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Population Approval: 63%
Government Approval: 59%
International Favor: 61%
Economic Growth: 2.5%
Inflation: 5.6%
Unemployment: 6.2%

The Vladivostok Conference was a failure, but President Nemerenko wins 
approval from most everyone for trying. Had it worked, he would have 
been a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace Prize; now he's merely a strong 
candidate. Acts towards guaranteeing freedom of speech and of the press 
are approved...For 5 seconds, before this new freedom lets loose every 
kind of dirty, untrue, and unwanted speech on the planet, along with the 
good. Russians have a lot to get used to, which might explain why 
there's a bit of grumbling. However, at the same time, there's also a 
culture of editorial opinion and investigative reporting which has 
sprung up with a vengeance, with papers representing every shade of 
political view in Russian life springing up - often, multiple. Playboy 
Rossiya is announced to begin publication in a month, and even more 
interesting publications are likely to follow.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Population Approval: 52%
Government Approval: 50%
International Favor: 64%
Economic Growth: 2.9%
Inflation: 3.1%
Unemployment: 4.2%

The Williams Administration has been rocked by the failure of the 
summit, though pundits are blaming China and Korea in equal doses, the 
disclosures of US involvement in the North Korea warfare has resulted in 
a congressional hearing about the covert opreations and the possibe 
violations of the War Powers Act and the Hatch Ammendmant, former 
congressman Dennis Kuchinich has been very vocal in calling for the 
impeachment of President Williams, however most pundits have ignored him.

The big topics have been the Korea situation, the CIA agents in a 
Chinese prison which has been protests and calls for removing them FAST 
and using whatever assets the government has to carry this out.

Another topic of coversation has been how 'tired and stressed' the 
president looks, a website called preswatch.cx has opened up and is 
taking bets on how long williams will last in this term, Since it is 
taking place outside the US, and they are not actually calling for his 
death the Secret Service can do nothing

=============================================

ECONOMIC INDICATORS

possible, for the most recent term possible (annualized). In some
cases, the numbers used are published estimates, but the English-
speaking nations' data is more or less right from the source.

Depression: Economic forces retracting uncontrolably and at a
dangerous pace with little end in sight.

Recession: Economic forces retracting, but more shallow than
Depression and more controlably. Sometimes necessary and part of
regular economic trends, although prelonged.

Revision: Economic forces retracting slightly and short term,
associated with economic systems refitting to accomodate new
industries, concentrations, etc.

Zero: No movement one way or the other.
Low: Comparatively low Economic growth/activity. (miniscule to about
2%, depending)
Good: Average economic activity (ranging from 2%-5% normally)
High: Above average performance (Greater than 5%) Sometimes
dangerous if in excess of 8% continuously.
