Hello loyal listeners! This is Dan Melican with RadioWorld FM303 PW3. I'm here today with the newest delegate of the birthing region the Pacific, Francos Spain. After coming into power literally over night, much controversy has been spread about this new leader. In an attempt to see what was true and what wasn't, I decided to do an interview.
Dan: Hello Mr. Spain. How are you today? We're glad to have you.
Francos: I'm fine, thank you, it's a pleasure to be here.
Dan: Let's start the interview, shall we?
Francos: Absolutely.
Dan: How did you manage to achieve delegacy in such a large region without anyone knowing before hand? That is no small accomplishment, and we would all like to know how.
Francos Spain: I accrued endorsements over the course of several weeks via telegramming UN members in the region, which is the standard way any delegate of a large region comes to power. Like Thedoc and the Savage Lands before me, this was the route I took.
Dan: If that is the same way Thedoc and other delegates took the position, how come everyone is so upset at your delegacy? It seems as though you have been legitimate.
FS: That is what perplexes me. You see, several days ago, I had enough endorsements to become delegate. However, Thedoc noticed that I had gained more endorsements than him, so he ejected me. However when I came back to the region, I still had my endorsements, and as such, I became the new delegate. I, for one, believe in an eye for an eye, so I did to Thedoc what he did to me.
It's amazing what havoc two or three little nations can stir up if they want to.
Dan: Amazing it is indeed, but with all the ejections, you really are in danger of being dealt with by the mods. Are you at all afraid of this? I'm sure you have a reason for these ejections, and I'm equally sure everyone wants to know them. The common concensus is that you are banning anyone who opposes you. Is that true?
FS: I direct you to this thread:
www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66617
The mods have defended my actions, as I have not done anything outside of game rules.
If I were banning everyone who opposed me, I think I would have banned more than only four nations. Yes, despite what you may have been told or misled to believe, I have only removed four nations from the region. Two for spamming, and the other two for political reasons. (NOTE: At the time of this broadcast, that number may or may not be accurate)
Dan: That explains a lot. But what are you doing to make these people mad? If you're not ejecting everyone who opposes you, and you legitimately gained your endorsements, then are you doing ANYTHING else that may displease someone? Because it doesn't seem like it...
FS: It only takes one displeased person like Thedoc to start a propaganda firestorm. Unfortunately, a lot of people are believing his words before inspecting their veracity. I have had many nations who have supported me from the beginning who are notifying me of and forwarding me these propaganda telegrams. It should not be hard for us to dispel these false rumors.
Dan: I'm sure whichever side is right will be victorious in the end. Is there anything else you would like to add? Anything I missed? I would hate to have you leave without saying everything you want to say.
FS: I agree that right will be vindicated in the end. Thedoc and his friends have pulled the wool over many people's eyes, but they will not be able to hold that wool there for very long. I thank you for the interview and I appreciate your service to the world.
Dan: You are more than welcome for the interview, and we are happy you allowed us to do it. Well, to all you listeners, I hope that clears some things up. I am still waiting on the Thedoc side of the story, but once I get it, I will post it as soon as possible.

Mystery Person2: (also an Italian accent) Sorry boss.
MP1: Alright, down to business. I'm startin to not like this reporter guy. Fred was one of our most experienced members. He helped make us what we are today. We need to take care of this Melican guy.
MP2: Isn't Melican an Irish name? I don't want no Irish gangs comin after us.
MP1: Good point. We'll have to keep an eye on this guy. Where's the Janitor?
Janitor: Right here sir.
MP1: Good. You know what you have to do?
Janitor: I have to mop the floors and take out the garbage.
MP1: *sighs* No, you stupid moron, you have to find out if Melican has any connections to the Irish Families.
Janitor: Oh, right...
MP1: Well, what are you waiting for? Hop to it!
Janitor: Right, I'll go snoop around his office and see if he left any clues there...
MP1: No, I mean take out the garbage. Those bags reek of somethin I don't wanna think about.
Janitor: OK. I'll turn off the microphone on my way out.
MP1: Microphone? That was on? (yelling) YOU STUPID IDIOT! I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH THOSE MACHINES!
MP2: I'm sorry boss, I didn't mean it really...
MP1: I'm gonna cut you open and eat your guts, you filthy son of a bi*click*
