I've decided to log all of the Herald's in chunks because otherwise it would take FAR to long. So, here we are with additional commentary.

The Herald Archives: Issues 1-5

The very first Herald! reporting about the resignation of Safalra. Notice the original mascot, the Angelic Herald.
Posted Image

2nd: This style was based around newspapers like the Sun and the Mirror, which you can easily see. This one is on about the candidates up for the election.
Posted Image

3rd: This was the start of the interviews with the candidates, and was the first time the Herald got to the second page. It was a bugger designing it, but I think it's ok.
Posted Image
Posted Image

4th: Filler RP story after Hirota dropped out of the delegacy. Rather sinister really, I don't know if I like it :S
Posted Image

5th: Interview with Ithania. So far, the only time that the Herald has reached 3 pages. Quite an acomplishment.

Awesome! Glad you had these safe. Best newspaper ever! Its factual accuracy is unsurpassed, and it's almost as funny as The Daily Mail.

The Glerican Herald Archives: Issues 6 to 10

6: This one was announcing DPL winning the election for delegacy :D Good show ^^
Posted Image


7: Surprisingly this newspaper was publshed right before the English-Canadian Choco war, so it was a urprise when we were surrounded by chocolate wielding maniacs. Notice the addition of the prices at the top.
Posted Image


8:The War Issue, possibly one of the most popular issues and a lot of fun to write. My personal favourite.
Posted Image


9:The issue announcing the cabinet as voted by the people.
Posted Image


10:This issue was about Aadamsgrad's cheese scandal, not well recieved and not very funny on reflection.

Posted Image


14: Fireworks... the international symbol of peace. Bar the loud noises and flames.
Posted Image


15:The Glerican Games, a beacon of hope and justice and lots of gay jokes.

Although the Banana was first comented upon by Ithy..the Banana was first "claimed" by asxtc after the the nations flag was planted on it.

Quote:
 
..and with the cunning use of a flag..

"I hereby claim the banana region for all England"

there it belongs to us now.


As it was claimed for "all of England" the nation asxtc happily hands jurisdiction and all the problems that might arise from ownership of the Banana over to the current delegate. :rolleyes:

Wow Ithy, I didn't know you were awake, but that entire post just made me giggle and ROFL for more than five minutes until I started to not be able to breathe from my uncontrollable laughter :lol:

On, a different note, ICly, the Foreign Ministry of The People's Republic of Nivogal now not only claim the Banana, but the :wings: as well.

[Special Press Release from Rhanukhani State News Network]

Following recent observations of a reduction of the speed of the now infamous "Banana" currently airborne over western Britains Empire, scientists onboard the Rhanukhani State Space Station received permission to engage in field observations. A crew of two intrepid "Bananauts", Charles "Buzz" Mantlepiece and Malcolm "Buzz" Soupspoon, proudly became the first ever Rhanukhani workers to set foot on the object at 05:38 (RST) yesterday morning. Initial reports sent back to the Space Station confirmed that the surface of the "Banana" is composed of a "tough organic compound, similar in many ways to banana skin". Attempts to bore deeper for a core sample were thwarted when "Buzz" Soupspoon slipped onto his posterior in a comedic fashion whilst setting up the equipment, leading to an emergency medevac of both "Buzz" and his partner "Buzz". The crew hope to engage in further research at a later date.

***ASXTC Emergency Press release***

Due to recent changes in the Bananas trajectory is is deemed wise for all persons in the East Somerset province to be vacated. Those persons that are still in the area over the next 48 hours will be escorted to safety by the appropriate authorities.
It is important to stress that no known immediate danger exists and that the local emergency services will provide transportation and accomodation to those affected.
The Banana is still expected to landfall in the nieghbouring empty state of Britians Empire but it is not known yet what repercussions this will lead to. Specialist NBC units are on standby to monitor, detect and deal with any unusual conditions that may arise in the border areas.

The Emergency Evacuation Helpline number for friends and family is: +9999 1011016

[Press release from the West-Side department of Star Gazing]

A group of leading scientists and druids have been dispatched from One-Time this morning, to observe the impact of the unknown object. A reinforced bunker has been built on the north-eastern shore of the Civil HQ and from here we hope to record the event for later analysis, and chuckle a bit.
West-Side would like to invite other nations wishing to detail this unique event to send observes to the bunker. Tortillas with dips, and a selection of beverages will be provided for the event.
