Jungle Sandra

by Sandra Hemingway

Hello dear readers !
Bored of Meyonia policy ? Lets talk about Amazonian adventures !

Well I was caught beteween Miss Purple orders and solidarity with my fellows maids on strike, so I decided...to run away until everything is settled !
And so I 'm now a runaway maid wandering in the jungle of Amazonia !
                                          That's me, your maid Sandra, crossing a river on
                                          a rope ! Watch out for the  crocodile below !

It is easier than I thought... we maids are used to sleep on the ground and to be satisfied with a few leftovers. And in the jungle I met a few fellows Meyonians, militaries on survival training and settlers who gave me a hand or two !
So now I roam in the jungle, I fish, I collect fruit and corn, I..hem...stole a chicken in a village too.
I trade food at the post or with native tribes... my friends Yatares and Xocos !
I also watch my steps, stay away from bandits, snakes and crocs... Well croc meat is yummy but I have no weapons to kill one... By luck I traded bananas for a big piece of croc steak and made a special soup....
I should keep the recipe for our hotel : croc meat, fish, chicken (with its feathers !) corn and bananas. The taste is, lets say, surprising ! But gives you lots of energy.
That's all for now folks ! Kisses from the deep jungle and..don't tell Miss Purple where I am !

Maids strike still ongoing


By Becky Orellana

The strike is still going on despite Purple Kayo pressures which forced at least one maid only identified by her intials SH to hide in the jungle.
Purple Kayo did not intervene herself and her staff member Silvia Zeita currently negociates with maids leader Perdita Deluca. Nothing had been disclosed yet but we know that even if both sides are ready to some concessions the main concern - maids punishment - is still discussed.
Perdita Deluca wants the Council of United Maids (CUM) still to be created takes decisions regarding punishment while candidate Purple Kayo wants to keep the power to decide in such matter.
The talks are still ongoing...we keep you informed !

Questionnable interventions of our leaders
Home secretary Randy Quander publicly showed sympathy and support for the maid cause. But she did more, we know she provided help with logistic, like with the demonstrants boards...
Randy Quander never hid she supports incumbent president Puifan Ling and we could think she uses the maids strike and her own position to weaken candidate Purple Kayo who is seen as the most credible opponent to President Ling reelection !
Army commander Kim Mizser did not support one side and asked both sides to reach an agrement. But she nevertheless clearly warned the maids that the strike should not extend to the plaza and the hotel in this touristic season...
We all know general Mizser owns the Chatte Ronronnante hotel through her holding Kim Management Inc... The hotel is located in front of Purple Kayo house and we could think she uses her position at the head of the army to defend her own economic interests !

So, what to think ? Well in this year of election...use critical mind and stay tuned !

News Flash

by Becky Orellana


 Maids on strike 

Maids refuse to clean candidate Purple Kayo house despite the contract she has with the municipality. Following Perdita D., apppointed maid, it is a response to the proposal of controlling and punishing maids.
Now Purple Kayo can withdraw her proposal at risk of appearing a weak leader, personally negociate with the maids or ask security forces intervention, by example asking to MAF head quarter to order the maids - who are also conscripts - to fulfill their duties according to municipality contract.
As of now Purple Kayo didn't disclose any offcial statement.

Weather forecasts alert

The usual heavy rain at the end of the summer will coincide this year with very high tides. Meyonia meteorological service warned for the serious risk of floods in the lower parts of Meyonia South and North, including the airport.

Cabaret dancer ill

Successful dancer Kathleen de Mailly had been suffering of a mysterious skin disease for several weeks. Until now all treatments proved to be unsuccessful.
There is a risk she would not be healed before the grand opening of the renewed Vicomtesse club which had not been scheduled yet.

Purple Kayo program

Purple Kayo electoral program 

by Becky Orellana

                                           Purple Kayo

Hey hey ! I interviewed her in my office and she told me about what she would do if she is elected...

First, the maids... We know Purple Kayo is very concerned by maids job and she thinks Meyonia had been often quite dirty lately, according to her because many maids had been enlisted in the army.  Not everyone would agree as following MMWS (Meyonia Maids Work Scale) dirt level is almost always below 5% but she wants to fix that : strict schedule for the maids shifts and fines and punishments for the maids who wont fill their duties... No need to say that this proposal is very unpopular among maids even if Purple Kayo promised to raise the maids wages..
There are already rumors and even leaflets vowing fot the creation of a maids syndicate !

 In economy, Purple Kayo desagrees with Heidi Bathori deep cuts proposals. She claims that internal growth, foreign trade and tourism increase are the keys to raise our economy.
No cut in the army budget... Had Purple Kayo also heard the rumors of military coup if army budget is cut off ? But General Kim Mizser assured this is totally untrue and MAF (Meyonia Armed Forces) always respect democracy...But no raising of MAF budget neither, it stays as now.
No money for health care neither, the patients would still have to be healed (well at least cared of) at the military campaign hospital... As we talk of health care, she criticizes President Puifan Ling massages program as a pointless electotral move. Well, electoral move certainly due the timing sooo close to the election but pointless... The massages are very popular and remember, i experimented it myself, mmmh !

 In Meyonia North, Purple Kayo wants to build several little bungalows to develop ecologic tourism. She would allow (if there is enough room left) a small area for army training... Well, considering MAF currently uses the whole Northern island for training, not sure they would enjoy a small area left between the souvenirs shop and the sanitary facilities ! Wait and see and lets hope militaries realize how much tourists money is valuable for us...


Purple Kayo doesn't want at all to reduce the police power which is already huge. No chance she will give up the detention in the infamous secret cells - well only the location is secret, we all know they exist and that's better not get thrown in... Actually she wants even more severity from police and justice.
She also wishes the possibility of enslaving some convicts but only by President decret. Nevertheless such a measure is seen as against the Constitution and could be difficult to be accepted by the army and the security forces which claim to be the guarantors of the Constitution.
Purple Kayo agrees with religion freedom and wont forbid the Order of Holly Love but wont tolerate they decide about who has to be spanked. She is ready to arrest them if they don't obey.
Her ideal society would have a strong dominant class ruling over well educated and disciplined lower classes.

Purple Kayo claims her foreign policy will be quite more peaceful than the one of incumbent President Puifan Ling. We all remember the war with Vanilla, the high tensions with New Sark and Kuwar, the secret and guilty operations in Paradise City...
Nevertheless Purple wants to increase custom duties and taxes paid by New Sark. Well as these duties had already been increased in 2013 as part of the agreement which ended the border tensions, there is little chance that New Sark government accepts again an increase. Never mind, Purple Kayo is ready to go forward, saying she didn't even fear a possible British intervent in Falkland war style ! She relies on MAF strenght and Meyonia allies to face this threat.
If some nationalist including incumbent President Ling herself claim they are ready to fight  General Miszer is reluctant to engage MAF against the British Army and considers that claiming a new increase is against the agrement signed by Meyonia in 2013.
Purple Kayo wants to improve the relationship with Kuwar Emirate and claims she is ready to meet the Emir. She nevertheless agrees with current government decision to break any commercial and political links with Kuwar because of the many public executions and the never ending civil rights violations.

Last but not least, and of deep concern of mine as you can imagine, Purple Kayo wants some media control, even if she announces it with many euphemisms like "collaboration" and promisses of "reward"... Our constitution grants press and speach freedom and Meyonia News will always be independent as ever !

Well, after this long interview we went across the streets to know what citizens think about...  Opinions are divided, here are a few among many :

Sandra H., maid : "We maids work already so hard, we don't want more control and more punishments... We are ready to syndicate to defend our rights ! Power to the people !"

Tiffany D., police officer: "We need a strong leader, more police, more cells, more strength... Purple for President !"

Meyonia

Meyonia is a country in second life, 2 wonderful islands in a deep blue ocean.  Here is a view of Meyonia South... Hotel, beach, cabaret, fitness, massages !
But Meyonia has its dark sides too...
My name is Becky Orellana, I am chief reporter at the Meyonia News and I will tell you what's going on in Meyonia.
                                         Yeah, that's me Becky !

There is the president election this year and we have 4 candidates : incumbent President Puifan Ling, a former military prone to confront who also led us to war in the current mandate... Heidi Bathori, a successful lawyer who wants to impone us austerity to save our economy... Papillon Shim, a quite mystic nun who vows for love and punishment for sinners (and we all are...)... and Purple Kayo, who shows herself strong with some dictatorial hints...
Well there is not a fifth one so we must choose one of these.
We'll look our program more carefully. Lets start with Purple Kayo !
