So far Mark Hickman and Jonathan Weatherhead have sent many unmanned planes into the area to bomb it but all planes were shot down. No one has been able to get passed their stolen radar. "We'll keep trying untill we've run out of weapons" President Earl Washburn said.

AMERADA HAS BEEN NUKED

Presidential Takeover.
President Jonathan Weatherhead has resigned from head of state of Amerada. Primeminister Earl Washburn has taken over as President. Derek McCullough will become Amerada's second primeminister, and Jon will be Amerada's newest Finance minister. This happened June 11th, when Earl was quoted saying "Ive had enough with Jon's lazynss" meanwhile, getting mad at the news, Dan Trudel moves to the DPA leaving a spot open for Jon as finance minister. DPA leader William Steeves Punched Earl Washburn, and was immediately thrown in jail for a weeks time. It is noted that what he did was legal.








Jonathan Weatherhead convicted of not updating the Amerada website. Lack of responsibility on Jon's part has forced primeminister Earl Washburn to run for President.


June 3rd: Amerada's 4th Colony, Michswick has satarted up. Its main attraction is Diamonds, which have been discovered in the new village of Chicouver. The colony covers a large area that extends from the colony of Tebec to the Northern Ocean.
June 4th: President breaks law. more to come later








May headlines:


Amerada to open marajuana trade with Loch
The newest observer nation of Spum, Loch has decided to become partners with Amerada.












Tebec Ameradas third colony! -May 3rd, the colony of Tebec has officialy started up. President Jon was hoping for sooner but now is good. The main attraction to the new colony is its one and only city, Los Antreal. Just south of the new city is a new gold mine. People wishing to seek Amerada's new resource can do so any time. As for Los Antreal the city has boomed to nearly 70 in just one day.

Finnigan, Shaw fired from DLPA, replaced by Owen White, Rachel Harrison and Leslie Burgesse.
Earl Washburn was fed up with the lousy attendance record by the two members so he fired them for three people two of which are women. "These three have already had better attendance than those two!" Wshburn said. These caucus moves will surely help Amerada in the best possible way.

Amerada Sports Chanpionship under way. Check Sports for updates. MCD does terrible in 100m but comes back in the 200. Our colony wins half of the 400m relay and hurdles. Tebec, now a colony joins in the hurdles and has beginners luck winning the mens ans tying in the womens.

A portuguese micro-nation has officially become Amerada's latest partner! Pasargada has willingfuly adreed to be our partner. There is one problem though, they're web sire is entirely in Portugueese.
If you know portugueese please contact us, and you might be named embassador.

Assassination atempt on Finance minister Dan Trudel
May 3rd- During a congress meeting at lunch, gun shots were heard, and a small skinny man was seen running away with a gun. This man whose name he doesn't want to be released will be charged for possessing a gun, and not what you would think (attempted murder) for that is currently legal. (unfortunately)

Amerada about to declare war on the Aerican Empire. The Aerican Empire refused to consider the Republic of Amerada as a micronation. Know one know's why, except for the fact they dislike our citizenship process. Because of this Defence ministter Mark Hickman will most likely announce that Amerada will start a war with the Aerican Empire untill they recognize us as a micronation like so many others have. update- As a member of SPUM we are not allowed to daclare war on other member nations. Amerada is not yet officially a member but the WPC will keep you posted on that.

Two new laws announced among week three in the new Washburn administration. It was hard to pass any bills this week, only two of nine were passed. The laws that were passed are: No murdering, and all government officials must start a website (deadline May 14th) Both were passed barely with 6 votes to 3.

VICTORY!!!!!!!!!
DLPA WINS ELECTION!!!!!!!
Final votes DLPA 106 (72.60273%)
DPA 40 (27.39726%)
April 12th- The DLPA and their leader Earl Washburn win in a landslide victory today. They were singing "celebrate good times" at DLPA headquarters. Everybody was there, even DPA member William Steeves celebrating his release from jail. William will now move in as the leader of the opposition, because Kiril Litvinov is still in jail.
The highlight of the event was the first WBS broadcast. When the crew went to Kiril to see if he would concieve in victory, he threatened to sue!
It was an amazing day. It wrapped up when the DLPA announced a new member: Heritage Minister Jenny Wong. To see more election and politics see the About page.


Washiawa Police are looking for this man. He stole
a blue jeep. If you see this man please contact authorities at the slim shady jail. Thank You







Amerada to open relations with other web nations.
April 24th-
Today a massive search for other web nations have gone on with great results. Amerada hopes to open trade with countries like Lizbekistan, Lomar, Talossa, Sealland, and Arcadia (just to name a few)
Defence Minister Mark Hickman will be incharge of the program for he has also opened a foreign relations department within his department.



President stops the overvoting.
"It's just not worth it, the DLPA is going to win in a land slide anyway" The truth comes out, and for the next two weeks it's likely there will be no change in the voting, so it's safe to say that the DLPA will win the election.Mortal Combat message appears when someone tries to vote. Now that the President put up the restriction, no one votes. It's bad but Kiril Litvinov hates 'cheaters' and has been bugging Jonathan Weatherhead about it for along time.

1 Month down 1 more to go- March 12th It has been a turbulent month in the polls. We've seen fights, rigging, lying, stealing, and violence. This is why we're probably not going to see another two month election again. At the current rate the DLPA will likely see 180 votes, that's if they can overcome the recent restriction President Jon put on the election. Kiril might get 70 votes if he's lucky. "Despite latest aqusations, I am not voting multiple times. Infact I have not voted at all. Most of my clones have voted for me though." Earl Wshburn stated. The president's recent restriction has prevented clones from voting. "It's descrimination" one of the clones said in reply to the presidents' restriction.

TEBEC- AMERADA'S THIRD COLONY: FACTS
The Colony of Tebec is actually Amerada's second colony, and third administrative district. It is located in the midwestern region of Amerada bounded on the south by the Ocean, and on the east west and north is surrounded by uncolonized Amerada. Tebec is 2/3 mountainous with peaks reaching up as high as 3,600 metres. The northern portion is mostly desert. The area between the desert and mountains is a lightly forested plain. The colony has one nation park that is 80000 square km. large, named Papua and Sa National Park. The Capital is Los Antreal which has boomed to 100 people in just 2 days! This coming after it took New Onto over two months to reach its target population of about 600. The growth may be blamed on Tebecs lone resource, GOLD. A mine has opened up in the county of Marquesal Islands along the foothills of the southern Mountains. The Colony has 123 colonies, 122 of which are unpoulated. The only other settlement is San Datoon which hopes to start up later in the year. Los Antreal will play host of tje 2001 Amerada Cycling Championships. The rugged southern coast has many islands including 28 that have been named. Tebec has areas that drain into all 4 coasts of Amerada. The next colony on the list is Michswick which will get started when 550 people are setled in Los Antreal.

Amerada gets one more Diplomatic partner: Zarahelma, this to the addition of Ambrosia and Pasagarda. Details of thes nations will be posted soon.

Amerada summit schedualed for 8 o'clock Monday May the 7th.






Amerada celebrated their very first holiday this month. Kiril had to leave the country for 'swimingly' reasons, and it was party time! Every event was sponsored by the DLPA. Things got out of hand though, when Kiril found property damage when he got back the following Monday. He balmed Earl, but witness' saw William Steeves in the act. Otherwise it was a pretty good day.


Dan Trudell introduces Amerada Bucks
The man incharge of Amerada's money if the DLPA gets elected introduced the 10, 100, and 1000 Amerada buck notes would look like if he gets elected. The 100 was rejected but the 10 and the 1000, showing our proud military strength, looked pretty good.

DAN UP TO THE JOB?
Speculation suggests than Dan Trudell would make a pretty lousy Finance minister under the DLPA cabinet but Earl Washburn has complete and total faith in Dan. Most of the speculation came out of none other than Kiril Litvinov, who doesn't even have a cabinet.
  AMERADA PASSES THE VATICAN CITY IN POPULATION
Yes, finally Amerada can say its better than somebody on Earth. While it is apparent that Amerada is ahead of a lot of Micronations it is not ahead of 191 earth nations and is now ahead of one!

10 smallest earth nations

1 Vatican City (The Holy See) 870
- REPUBLIC OF AMERADA 1800
2 Tuvalu 10838
3 Republic of Nauru 11845
4 Republic of Palau 18766
5 Most Serene Republic of San Marino 26937
6 Principality of Monaco 31693
7 Principality of Liechtenstein 32204
8 Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis 38819
9 Antigua and Barbuda 66464
10 Principality of Andorra 66824

Amerada unfortunately has been growing very slowly. It seemed to take forever to go from 500 to 800 (1 and a half months) but now it has sped up a little bit.

CENSUS REPORT.
Amerada hits 500 in 16 days! The next 16 days were very slow and it is now March 26th, 42 days after Amerada started sitting on only 702 people. The next big milestone is 860 when Amerada surpasses the Vatican City in Population.

Check out our up to the second population ticker here

Monarchy Debate: There are so many that come up during the daily Amerada meetings, and it seems that Kiril has forgotten that Amerada is a Democratic Republic, when he said he wanted to be king. "If he has higher power than President Jon, I'll blow the country up!" says anonymus. Of course it has already been established that the head of state is the president (Jon) and a head of government (TBA). The debate flew again when Kiril said that Jon gets to pick Amerada's cabinet. The debate was resolved when it was decided that the winner of the election gets to pick the cabinet, and the cabinet gets to pick the laws of the country along with Jon.
DLPA DEMOTES WILLIAM STEEVES
DLPA Leader Earl Washburn's running mate William steeves has been demoted. When the party asked him to write a column for this paper, he refused because he was lazy and didn't want to. This led to a major shuffle in The Washburn administration to be. Here are the parties effected.
William Steeves: Demoted to Minister of Labo(u)r and labo(u)r resources (to be)
Derek McCulough: Promoted to Deputy Primeminister (to be)
Tim Finnigan: switched to Minister of government and government resources (to be)

WILLIAM STEEVES JAILED AND FIRED
March 30 th- the scary thing is why would anybody want to quit the DLPA and join Kiril Litvinov. It all happened when he was jailed. Just when they let him off the hook he sent a discriminating message to our guestbook (see sign guestbook) That did it he was fired and will spend eternity in jail, along with Kiril Litvinov. They can only come out when they apologize, or if they win the election. happen.

DLPA "sick" of Kiril's idioticism- March 28th

Send an email





Updated at 10:22:47 EDT May 2nd 2001


NEW! WE HAVE FOUND THE NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED BY JONATHAN WEATHERHEAD, MADE IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2001!
Sparks Fly Between Candidates

It's only been days and already the candidates have fought against each other.
When Kiril Litvinov heard that he was losing in polls, he said

"I'm in this to beat Earl., not to become what the hell I'm running for."

Kiril wrote a list of who was going to vote for him, trying to scare Earl but Earl,
not being intimidated, got his helper William to steal Kiril's list and the sparks are
flying. This looks like it's going to be an exiting race.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DLPA Members Announced

In the case of victory, DLPA leader Earl Washburn announces his administration.

Prime Minister: Earl Washburn
Deputy Prime Minister: William
Finance minister: Dan
Government Resources: Derek
Human Development: Liam
Labour Minister: Tim
Minister of Defense: Mark


Kiril quotes "I'm not done yet. The vote isn't over 'till it's over". Earl isn't
intimidated. he says Kiril is just bluffing; he doesn't have a trump card. Only
time will reveal the results.

DLPA sues the DPA (Democratic Party of Amerada) for
Copyright Violation

The Democratic Liberal Party of Amerada sues the Democratic Party of Amerada
for stealing the word "Democratic" from their party name. Since there are no defines laws
in Amerada yet, President John Weatherspoon closed the books on the deal and both
parties kept their name. The battle for power rages on.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's next for Amerada???

With a population of over 400 people, it's time to expand.
It's all up to president John though. It's sire that DPA leader Kiril Litvinov
is anxious for his planned city New Onto to start up. New Onto will be built
across the Onto River from Washiawa. The North Eastern area of Amerada
will be called Califario, also run by democratic Leader Kiril Litvinov.

What's Next Then???

After New Onto gets a healthy population, there may be treks out west.
The president has already sent out a team of surveyors and they have found
many great areas for new cities.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DLPA Accused of Rigging Election

"Fine of 500 Amerada bucks will be given if caught"
says president John.

"Who cares" says Earl Washburn." If you took away all "other" votes, we'd still be
winning." The DLPA has been hovering around the 80% mark for days. Rumors
have been flying around and President John has put a strict fine down.
"No one knows who has voted for who; we can assume that I voted more than once.
My party believes that Kiril has voted multiple times," Washburn says.
President John says that since there are no laws, cheating is legal.

Rebels Attack the Post-Citizen

On the way to the press, some papers were stolen and destroyed. Investigations have
been made and we suspect a local group of anti-government rioters.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Rigs Election?

No, it's not the DLPA. This time, it's President John and it's in favor of Kiril.

It's more than obvious now, since John stated publicly "I want to make things "interesting."
He has even put up a program that prevents multiple votes. Kiril seems to have received a lot
of votes lately. Sympathy votes? "What people don't notice is what is going to happen if Kiril
wins the election," says Earl. "There will be total chaos. There is no point in wasting your votes
on Kiril; he's not going to win." All that doesn't stop the President., he wants to see and exiting
election. Meanwhile at the DLPA headquarters, Earl says that his campaign will expand and
cancel out the latest votes for Kiril. Here's the facts. Kiril has done nothing for Amerada.
Without Earl, Amerada would be finished.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Litvinov Physically Attacks
Washburn

While at a conference in Washiawa, Mr. Litvinov got angry when Mr. Washburn said
something about the election and started pummeling the DLPA leader. Mr. Washburn's
secret defense tactics managed to counter the attack. This is the second collision between
the 2 politicians. Is the pressure getting to Kiril? Our psychology expert has told us that
Kiril is mad because he is losing and can't control his anger.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Onto Begins Development

now that Amerada has passed 500 people, New Onto will start filling in. New Onto is
planned to be the largest city in Amerada. Located on the eastern banks of the Onto River,
it will be an ideal place to live.

Washiawa Stops Growing

While New Onto gets all the people, Washiawa will finally stop putting houses up and start
developing businesses. "This is a break that we'll all efficiently use" says Mayor Washburn.
99% of the people coming to Amerada will move to New Onto while 1% will go to Washiawa.
Mayor Washburn makes promises to the disgruntled people complaining about the lack of
industry. When Amerada hits 9100 people, Los Antréal will be born.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WBS Planned to Start

The very first TV schedule has been announced and the executives have come with great
ideas.

Who Wants to Win a Million?

Outwit, Outlast
An American Survivor

They also morning soap-operas, talkshows, news, sitcoms, dramas, late-nigh TV, etc...

New Team for APHL

The new Onto Range Leafs have announced that they will enter the APHL for the 2001-2002
inaugural season. They will join the Washiawa Capitors and two other teams , soon to be
announced.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where's all the Women?

According to the census posted on the website, men outnumber women BIG time. This,
raises the question "Why won't women come to Amerada?" The current theory
'Not enough women know about Amerada." The only thing we can do is advertise on
websites visited mainly by women. But sadly, advertisement cost money so if you read this
article, tell all the women you know about Amerada. Thanx.

Coming soon: An updated census. Here are some questions that you will see soon.

-Your age
-Language you speak
-Your religion
-Ethnic background


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derek's Column

When we are elected, I , as the minister of Government Resources, shall move money into
our schools and health care. Our children's education is the key to Amerada'a future.
Our health care is desperate need of funds for hospital beds, medication and equipment. under
the rule of the DLPA, the wait in the E.R. will be drastically shortened.

We will build more school's and hire more teachers so remember; When you vote, vote for
the best of Amerada. Vote for Earl Washburn.
