RIVERWOOD SURRENDERS

----------------------
In an unexpected turn of events, the Riverwood Government has surrendered to opposing forces; Antheus' location unknown

Shocking the already unstable population of Riverwood, the House and Senate came to an unanimous decision late Monday night to surrender. "I feel that it is the best decision, given the current financial situation of Riverwood and the strength of the opposing forces," house member Phobi said. "If we did not surrender, Riverwood would collapse and become a third-world city."

LEADER

MISSING
--------------
The president of Riverwood, Antheus, has been missing since Saturday. Top officials say he will return in two weeks to deal with the aftermath of surrendering. In the mean time, Minister of Foreign Relations Gustavobc will be in charge of Riverwood until the president returns.

EMBARGO

LIFTED
---------------
House and Senate lift embargo off of Fulfwotz, claim "was a stupid move"

Following the announcement of surrendering, the House and Senate successfully passed a vote to remove the trade embargo against the nation of Fulfwotz. As of July 5th, all products from Fulfwotz were banned in Riverwood and could be confiscated if seen in public. With the embargo lifted, Riverwood hopes to improve relations with Fulfwotz.

    NEW SAMMICHIAN EMPIRE IMPOSES TRADE EMBARGO ON RIVERWOOD PRODUCTS

    Emperor Sammich and the Imperial Foreign Minister claim "we like making this process as difficult and agonizing as possible"
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Following the surrender of Riverwood and its allied nations in the wake of another Shire world war, the city-state lifted its controversial ban on products originating from Fulfwotz and other Imperial territories. The two nations enjoyed peaceful trading for all of two hours before the New Sammichian Empire put sanctions of its own in place against Riverwood.

    Though the city-state would like to seek cooperation with the Empire, it has made it clear that Riverwood's threats against Laurelian and its attempted destabilization of the Shire Dollar Zone warrants petty revenge from the superpower. 

    It is unknown how long these sanctions will be in place, and when Riverwood will be able to enjoy imports such as ore, film, erotica, and narcotics.
