PCBaller World/Montana/News Report

PCBaller World - Montana - This template Latest


 * An unusually large and somewhat elongated asteroid with an estimated worth of $8.5Qd (and another smaller asteroid near it holding $550T worth) in many precious in-demand metals has come within one million kilometers of Earth. Advanced mining teams from Montana will be some of the first to scout it out.
 * All Montanan corporate operations have been ceased in Egypt and the Neosoviet Union. Montana in itself does not desire to start a war.
 * As of the recent events, Kultokrat has been found attempting to use the AltUN to assimilate Sorbia into their voivodeship. Montana has always been a supporter of Sorbia's sovereignty from Poland, except if Vlasov himself willingly hands over his country to another, and Vlasov does not consent to this. We hereby oppose the application of Article 5 to this conflict as it would result in the partial if not total assimilation of Sorbian land into the PSNR.
 * Cluster of over 100 Montanan geometric cities started construction in the Beryist Reich. Their combined functional internal area will be approximately 35 km2.
 * A "flat-earth" planetarium opens in Missoula, MT. It portrays the earth and the cosmos from an unconventional flat-earth, young-earth-creationist, and Christian fundamentalist perspective.
 * Bozeman faced a shooting of a Wing-Stop location inside of a geometric city there. 4 killed, 17 injured. It was performed by a lone gunman who was a vegan activist. Vegan claimed he was willing to "die for the chickens abused by Wing-Stop". Multiple relatively peaceful protests burst throughout the city of Bozeman calling for animal rights. Some people even rally for the legalization of raiding non-vegan restaurants.
 * A large cluster of geometric cities in New Cheyenne is fully built; they all took years to build, accounting for multitasking, ultra-advanced air-assisted construction techniques, and the vast quantities of valuable metals from the ludicrous asteroid-mining industry. These new geometric cities are regular hexagons with 50 8-meter floors, 90-meter edge length, and a count of nearly 7,000 individual structures. Each geometric city has an internal usable area of about one square kilometer. More clusters of cities are on the way. Construction is now faster due to the fact that the Artic quantum supercomputer was finished long ago. Much of the construction process is semi-automated. Most of the cluster is between Henderson Blvd. and Mainstreet, with some going west of the former.
 * A ban-wave encompassing millions of accounts has taken place on many major social media networks. They all had one thing in common: they promoted Flat Earth theories and geocentrism. Spherewash is sweeping faster than initially thought. The populace of many big cities, including Helena, Devyanostopol, and New Cheyenne is one of the first to experience mass brainwashing efforts in order to eliminate as many flat-earthers and geocentrists as possible.
 * An exception to the Enforced Aesthetics rule has been put into place: factory farms. They can now make their buildings as ugly as they want.
 * Montana is finished building its first geometric city in Southern California.
 * Research into magic and mystical phenomena regarding alleged forces has started. This includes research on if magic is real (ofc, first of all). If it is proven real without a doubt, magical functions could be harnessed for the uses of energy production among other fields.
 * Another round of megacorporations are planning on helping with Montana's projects. Due to the recent imports of millions of tonnes of asteroid-derived minerals, the band of Montana's megacorporations have begun accelerating their progress, especially on things related to the lunar effort and the New Cheyenne effort.
 * The first mostly-Montanan Titan base has been founded with 200 colonists.
 * The construction of a superconducting ring around Mars has started construction. Asteroid mining will be ramped up.
 * The most recent slaughterhouse raid has been found to have a connection to the Bartonian religious movement.
 * Band of flat-Earth believers reported raiding rocket/space shuttle facility with heavy weapons. There was a middle school field trip to the facility at the time of the raid. 24 killed, 90 injured. The raiders have been intercepted and are awaiting trial. Capital punishment may be used.
 * The industry has announced that Project Spherewash has just been started in its first phase. This is a plan to sharply reduce the prevalence of pseudoscientific beliefs across the world using business denial, private sanctions, mass indoctrination waves, and intensive fact-checking.
 * The industry's plans to absorb and take over Cheyenne (and all of northern I-25) have been made public.
 * There has been a factory farm bombing off of Interstate 94 near the city of New Cheyenne. There are about 13 human deaths, nearly 10,000 animal deaths, and over forty injuries. Terrorism is having an unusually high occurrence rate in eastern Montana.
 * Reports are that the rumored Arctic astronomical supercomputer has FINALLY been built. Running at nearly five thousand orders of magnitude faster than previous technologies, this quantum computer is destined to lead all humanity into the future.
 * Another round of fossil plants shut down due to outcompetition by the technologically advanced nuclear fusion technology.
 * As Montana's cumulative nonhuman kill count since 2029 reaches the 200 billion mark (195 billion of which are chickens), a new round of violent protests across Interstate 90 have erupted. Police and military are on a run to quench these protests ASAP.
 * The city of New Cheyenne has reached a population of 100,000. This city, built by the industrial sector, is near the I-94/I-90 junction and could be the capital of eastern Montana in the case of a schism.
 * The population of Montana's Europa base has reached the 500-man mark. Illinoisan researchers are present in the Montanan base.
 * An anti-chemical weapons bill has died in the Senate.
 * One of Montana's largest animal processing facilities, capable of processing 20,000 cows per hour, has been invaded by a large band of nearly 2,000 militants. The production of meat will be decreased over the next month as repair needs to be made.
 * A bill to split the country by east and west has been written, and is currently up for votes in the Senate.
 * Triple-alpha fusion has been made for the first time in a laboratory.
 * A bill is passed in the House that may ban the shipment and sale of maitotoxins, cluster bombs, phosgene, and white phosphor to GI and LFA. It may still have to pass the Senate. The future is uncertain.
 * Montana has counted a total of 2,515 significantly large nukes in inventory, 12 of which are over 100 MT-TNT in blast power.
 * Montana has made a rough calculation of nearly 100 thousand nuclear weapons in arsenal, including their smallest ones.
 * A bill started in the House to break from the ARI died in the Senate, by a margin of 26%.
