The Thai Garden in The Valley

The south edge of the Emerald Valley also has a Thai Garden. Only 15 minutes by car from Morau, or 40 minutes by minibus by a highway, and then a secondary road from Waldihnok.

The Valley's Japanese Park

Just north of Morau, on the edge of the Emerald Valley there are many theme parks. This is the Akashi Asagao Komyoji Pond in the Japanese Park.

Where highways intertwine

The view from the north, just south of the Waldihnok pass . The natural and agricultureal vegetation of the Emerald Valley is so precious that it is extremely complicated to expand the transportation netwrok in the area. The highways are forced to be constructed high up in the air.

The never ending bloom of the Valley

On of the smaller valleys branching off the Emerald Valley - the same abundance of flowering grasses

The expressways of Miklasgard is a mixture of orange and green pasta

The city uses two types of expressways. They all use US numbering system, where north-south freeways are odd-numbered, and east-west are even. Long distance, major expressways have numbers divisible by 5. Expressway branches going through a city and rejoining the expressway are numbered with a three-digit number, the first digit being even, the last two being the number of the original expressway. Non-loop branches have an odd digit in their three-digit number.

Freeways are numbered on orange shields, are free or have minimal flat-fee tolls, usually for crossing a major bridge, a tunnel or the Mielborg-Yngeborg-Kingstad Royal Territory.

Expressways proper are numbered with green shields, and are always straighter, wider, have more lanes and higher speed limits. Many of these expressways are military, since the military is the original inventor of the concept. Such expressways always have the "YIELD TO MILITARY VEHICLES. STAY IN THE RIGHT LANES" signs posted at every entrance ramp. These expressways are have distance-based toll system. As with all toll systems in Attland, they automatically scan vehicle's license plates.

Some freeeways turn into expressways as 55 outside the city, or when turning into a shortcut or a tunnel, as is the case with 10, 22, 24, 314.

Some of the expressways have freeway branches, as 69's 369, 6's 106 and 306, 51's 151.

Miklasgard's subway system is actually a railroad network

The region's suburban railroad (similar to German S-bahn), intercity railroads, broad gauge (7-foot) the 770 Express network, the dual track, regular subway, the monorail (also similar to a guideway rail), and the suspended monorail system IS the city's rapid transport system which works like a railroad network of a medium-sized European country.

Miklasgard's places of interest also include parks

Miklasgard municipality and the Queen have stipulated any body of water inside the city should have vegetation covering at least 40% of its shore length. This rule, plus the requirement that there must be parks for every 50,000 people, make Miklasgard's urban sprawl very green. Many of museums are also required to have a green zone, as the Green Belt separating Miklasgard City from the city of Karolinga (see the green band in the north).

Monkey (troll) bats and fjords

These paintings capture the true spirit of the North and its environment - the gloomy dusk robbed of sunlight early in the day by high cliffs and giant pillars, and the ubiquitous troll bats.

A forbidding fjord at night

This fjord looks majestic and especially forbidding at dusk. The painting shows how the fjord colors can obscure the old structures and castle-like buildings. When sunlit, the fjord looks like these fjord cities, but more classic, since the buildings are at least 120 years ago.

Wolf Dolgrynd: expelling gang culture is never racist

During a press conference, the Chancellor was asked to explain how his government's move to expel its Hispanic population is not racist.

I definitely saw and heard the Chancellor say that he exercised his authority in affirming his government's decision to expel individuals that are not, and refuse to be residents who are responsible and abiding by its laws. It is never racist to expel individuals that obstruct justice, foster narcotics trade, abuse social support system, and spread culture based on anti-family values.
Any organization or individual who arrogantly ignores these basic morals, and continues to exert this deceitful political pressure, while hiding behind the racism excuse, may find himself in violation of Attland's laws against subversive activities.

Meanwhile, only a handful of Hispanic population remains (2,000-3,000) throughout Attland, all staying in Eldorado, a city that has become a part of the Marlborough megalopolis.

HMS Torbay sinks and embarrasses the pompous Royal Navy.

Another incident leading a cold war -like stance with UK was the mysterious sinking of a British SSN, S-90 HMS Torbay, was most likely caught off guard about 120 miles NNW of Attland. Both countries are keeping mum about the circumstances of the sinking. What is known is that many British sailors were rescued by Attland's Navy, but many were, according to UK government, suspiciously incapacitated, or died soon afterward. The captain's condition worsened to a point where he could not communicate with Red Cross officials. He was returned to the UK by way of Morocco only in 2008, after having been kept, unacknowledged, in a medical facility.

The most serious and heavyweight notice to other navies was issued after this incident, where Attland's temporary rotation chancellor warned that in order to protect the island's coastal security, his Navy was ready to fire first on any military vessel acting in an unfriendly manner.

Obama's administration disappointed, but reassured with a clause from a mysterious treaty

Another interesting tidbit I caught on TV: when the news reported that the US was disappointed that the Chancellor wholly countered Obama's outreach to the Islamic world, the Chancellor's office stated that Attland is abiding by its mysterious agreement with the US. According to the agreement, Attland is assured of no political strings attached to its unlimited preferred trading status.

The treaty also provides for the assurance the USA gets in unconditional and discretionary support from Attland, discussed when needed according to a specific political situation, and agreed by on executive level in both countries. According to the agreement, Attland is also to provide any strategic, tactical and other military assistance which, at least, provide for a backyard defense while the US military is deployed overseas.

The (ghost) fjord that was

This fjord on the southern shore of the western half of the Northern Peninsula defies all scientists. Despite the indications that the world sea levels are rising, this fjord is drying up. Only 80 years ago ships like this were able to reach the end of this albeit shallow fjord, visible int he distance. The fjord's name is Havanna Fjord - the Harbor Fjord. The structure on the left on cliff sides is an ancient castle from the days of the Closed Kingdom (1300-1770). The banks of the fjord used to have fishing settlements. Most of the fjord bottom now is a salt marsh, rarely reachable by the strongest storms. Unlike the fjord cities, or the Three Giants Fjord, this one is a ghost fjord.

The Chancellor responds to Obama with the restatement of February announcement

Chancellor Dolgrynd reacted to Obama's Cairo speech by restating what the Chancellor said in February. I watched a summary of the response on TV and the gist of the Chancellor's message is that the grassroots of Moslem world are based on fanatical, primitive ego principles which instantly bestow disdain on any compromising partner, and exploit any opportunity, including duplicity and deceit, to pursue its goals in gaining new ground in Islam's spiritual, political, and territorial aspirations. Chancellor repeated, without mincing words, that except some Gulf countries, other Islamic countries belong to the new Evil Empire of the 21-th century, quietly sharpening knives at Jewish people, Israel, and the Western World.

Here's how they extract clathrate

There's more than just pillars, coal, gas, and oil off the northern shores of Attland. King Yarl had banked on the seafloor to have more than scientifically discovered amounts of clathrate. King Yarl was the first one to discover and confirm that clathrates under seaflor do contain hydrocarbons, and off Attland's shores, they contain propanes, butanes, pentanes, hexanes and sometimes higher hydrocarbon alkanes.
The Oilbelt Corporation's platform looks like it is an oil drilling type, but it is actually a clathrate extraction platform (note the absence of the rig.) Clathrate is heated and processed to separate hydrocarbons, which are concentrated and stored to be offloaded into the company service tankers.

A peek at the Chasm's natural arches

Most of the upper reaches of Yahalma and Glada rivers have naturally and mysteriously formed ledges and arches. This is a series of arches that have been finished as convenient bridges in the lower Chasm, over the Glada River.

Shortage of high-end diamonds causes Koborg to up the gold price

Shortage of high-end diamonds causes the Queen to up the gold price, and very wisely, thus increasing gold purchases which initiated chain reaction of upping the gold prices worldwide.

Koborg Bank and its Corporation, owned by the Queen, has been adhering to a specific formula for gold management where most (unspecified) of its gold is purchased with cut diamonds of more than 1 carat in weight, whereas most of the gold acquired for the Attland's national government is purchased with preferential barter privileges from Attland's gold producers. See gold prices in the Reference section on top right.

Giant vine trees serve as village cores

Attland's jungle is the northernmost of world's jungles, being on the same latitude with South Carolina. Due to the Northern Mountains drawing down cool rainstorm weather, which mixes with the warm, moist Gulf Stream air, creates unusual cases of wet rain shadows both north and south of the mountains.

The misty forests are home to Attland's indigenous trees, such as the vine tree (no connection to grapes). The tree is capable of reaching 100-200 meter in height in over 1000 years of growth, and be about 20 meter in diameter at its base, such as the famous Great Tree of the Tree Village, in the bottom picture. This tree is over 1800 years old. The nearby trees are about 1000 years old.

The trees in the first picture are about 100-200 years old, growing along Yahalma River.

How Treasures from Europe made their way to the island

These treasures are the reason there is still a heavy flow of European tourists coming to see or pay tribute:

Excalibur

Zulfikar, or Dhu L-fiqar

Falias, the coronation stone captured from Fál (Lia Fáil) or from the Hill of Tara in County Meath, attributed to wizard poet Morfesa or Fessus.

Gorias, the spear (sleg) of Lug, attributed to wizard poet Esras.

Findias, from wizard poet Wiscias sword (claideb) which belonged to Núadu No one ever escaped from it once it was drawn from its sheath, and no one could resist it.

Muirias or Murias, from wizard poet Semias, the communal cauldron (coire) captured from the Dagda

Paradise Falls of Emerald Valley

This is Paradise Falls of the northern Emerald Valley, on the Yahalma river, where the Braided Rivers region starts (see the Valley Gates, and here and here ).

The Horns of the Emerald Valley

This is a painting of a puzzling rock formation protruding out of nowhere in the middle of the Emerald Valley. The Horns (and The Pillar Pile, in the background) are not sedimentary rock, nor do they have signs of erosion by wind or water. Maybe they were eroded long time before geologists think, and the landscape around them is a lot younger, making the Horns look out of place.

Another view of Marlboro at night

Here is another night view of Marlborough's Zion Island (closer than the view here) The giant bridges are better defined by their lights, rather than during the day by sun, which cannot describe the bridges' life.

A fjord that is a river

This fjord is long and very narrow, so typical of the island's fjords. This one is less than 1000 feet (330 meters) long, and no more than 70 feet wide, terminating in the typical, wide bay about 130 feet in diameter. It is locked between 1000-1400 foot high cliffs. The most interesting feature is the around-the-clock tidal flows that make the fjord into a river of reversing flows.

The mysterious ledges of the Chasm-Canyon system.

Deep down the Chasm ( the famous part of the Canyon that has a very narrow top opening) is lit by sparse sunlight breaking through the narrow slit, and by the sidelights illuminating the Yellow Brick Road. The major feature in this picture is one of the ledges that are found all over the northern peninsula. These ledges protrude out of cave floors, mountain valleys. This part of the Chasm is over 800 feet deep, shows no traces of erosion or natural arch formations, and has no debri to suggest that the ledge was a part of an arch that collapsed.

A glimpse at the upside down life of the Chasm

This is the monkey bat, or the troll bat as they call it here in the north of the island. The bats often stay topside after the daybreak, foraging for fruits. The rest of them form a formidable swirling animal jetstream entering any major opening of the Chasm.

These are the mushrooms of the Chasm. First they grow down and then curl upwards. They are edible, and somewhat more tasty than the typical cave mushroom you can buy at your local Trader Joe's, Publix or Kroger.

Brog Corporation's giant hi-tech recycling complex

This is the flagship plant of Brog Coproration's hi-tech waste processing complex in the company's own Brog City (which is also the largest -6 million strong - company town in the world). Nothing goes to waste on the island: the household waste, sewage, recycled materials get sorted out using the latest technologies and reprocessed into new cardboard, plastic, metals, even gold and vitamins.

The entrance to the lightweight organics reprocessing plant of the complex:



A plane is heading to land at the Brog City's Central Airport (there is also the industrial-military Southern and a cargo-transhipment Northern Airport). Note the Tokyo City symbol on the building at left. The City of Tokyo has several joint projects running at the complex.
This is no ordinary sand pile. It is a precious catalytic sand used and recycled frugally to treat sludge accumulated and concentrated from liquid waste:

Brog technology allows the plant to separate the stubborn solid mixtures of different recycled materials that are often made into park benches. Here the polymers are treated and separated.

Graves of medieval europeans draw impressive pilgrimage

Ilya Murometz, or the Elijah the Marom

The Three Olafs:
Olaf Haraldsson (died 934) was son of Harald Fairhair of Norway

Olaf Tryggvason (Old Norse: Óláfr Tryggvason, Norwegian: Olav Tryggvason), (960s – September 9? 1000), was King of Norway from 995 to 1000.

Olaf Haraldsson (Old Norse Óláfr Haraldsson, 995 – July 29, 1030), was king of Norway from 1015–1028, (known during his lifetime as "the Big" (Óláfr Digre) and after his canonization as Saint Olaf or Olaus)

Small river that roars (with industry)

This is where Balgrey River widens into its minidelta entering Yahalma River in Miklasgard. The delta in the late 19th century has been made into a Balgrahaven (Belgravia) port, an impressively huge river multi-modal port served by a cargo airport, hundred of railroad tracks, truck terminals, transshipment barge docks, and manufacturer's private docks - like auto assembly plants, chemical, aircraft, steel and other industries. Balgrahaven neighborhood's residential high rises are in the backdrop. These are modest test buildings for what is now called superblocks, or skyblocks, each a home to 4-10 thousand residents. The tower on the left is an apartment house -residential hotel. - Now I stand corrected - it is an automated parking tower, the photo below is the view of an interior.

The mystifying view from the Moon Rock Mountain

The Moon Rock Mound tops the Moon Rock Mountain that has one of the most picturesque views of the Emerlad Valley. The Moon rock Mound is a mysterious formation comprised of the island's typical minerals. Almost perfectly spherical, it is 23 meters in diameter, and appears as if it was cut out of the rock, but it is monolithic with the rest of the monolithic mountain, and shows no marks of hand tools, or other meaningful images, except the man-made lines that have been overgrown with mossy vegetation. Nearby Lookout Castle and a sky temple of sorts (see one of the Valley's real sky temples) has been cut out of a convenient pillar. On the bottom of the Valley you can see the Yahalma river and the 130-ft. Moon Rock waterfalls.

The monasteries that the nature claimed back

After the 27th King (see the list of the Monarchs) allowed the Europeans on the island, all the more to build almost anything they desired, the French and German religious orders hurriedly built these unique cathedrals partially cutting into the most convenient mountain side using the sites of the former Queen Linga temples. Using their European skills and being in a hurry to start their proselytizing, which never succeeded, they were purposefully not left in the dark about construction methods in this rocky, uniquely jungle-like craggy mountain scape.

The wild and quickly growing trees, the torrential rains cascading down the cliffs and steep mountain stacks quickly conquered and destroyed the cathedrals. In the bottom picture, new river streams and waterfalls ran through the continuously accumulating dying vegetation, and broke through the walls of the cathedral. The stone-digesting, climbing vegetation has weakened the masonry, causing the collapse of the main structure.

The islanders say that even thought they learned the lesson of not worshipping Queen Linga (back in 11th century) nevertheless G-d of Noah would not permit the prized historical site to be used by a religion that worships another human.

A cozy park along a service drive

This is a part of the mile-long Terrace Park, snuggled between a freeway service drive and office buildings in the newly developed North Sheyokey (or Sheyokee), an impossible-made-possible area devoted to combining industrial, warehouse, high-tech, research and health care services.

Electric waterbuses of capital's canals

This is a painting of a canal scene on the supercity's Broya Canal in Brithwold. The freeway, a city train (subway), freeway access drives stuck to a side of a building, and the Brithwold Station's tower are all easily viewable. The star attraction, however, is the electric canal bus, which used to be a surface streetcar. Miklasgard dismantled all streetcar lines, and mounted most of the streetcars, especially vintage double deckers, on to small barge hulls. This resulted in pollution-free, quiet canal transportation. All of Miklasgard's canals are clean, despite the urban overcrowding.

This scene is on the canal in Miklasgard's Tokyo Gardens next door to Belgrahaven. The electric water (canal) bus, with the skyscrapers of Brunnholn in the background.

I am making my way through the UCICS

I have just realized the breadth of what UCICS is: it stands for the Unified Computer Information and Communication System. More than a system, it is also an FCC-like authority that regulates all things technical in TV, telephony, radio, mobile phones, cable TV, satellite communications, data over electric lines, and data over other media.

Usually shortened to U6, the system sets standards and requirements for programming languages by specifying these 5 core languages:

LUICS ( or Linguistic User Interface Command System) Logic-code Uniform Interface Command System is an U6 uniform (OS) language that incorporates the following languages:
AIPL – Artificial Intelligence Programming Language - real-time adaptive, scripting, self-writing program, also used as a development tool.
ICICL – Information and Computer Interface Command Language – incorporates a network OS and related functions; it is the primary interface with other network formats.
SLATRAN – Symbol-to-Logic Array Translator- used by the OEM to make changes in processing and memory of optronic (Photonics) and electronic interfaces, i.e., translation of databases and other operating systems, debugging, and seamless interfacing with the Photonic environment.
MACOL – Machine Access Object Language - an engineering language that is used to upgrade an I/O, thin client type of Luxon computers up to a full PC or even a server. Also the standard OS for mobile phones authorized for use in Attland. Coincidentally, MACOL is also the language (sometimes referred to as MacOL) used on iPhones and iPods manufactured by Koborg Photonics jointly with Apple. The lnaguage also controls and provides for smooth interface and easy upgrades between the U6connect uniform standard with international mobile system standards and generation versions.

Foreign manufacturers are stuck in a Catch 22: like everyone lese, they can't have the LUICS code embedded into their electronic devices, and to have the code they need to purchase ready made photonic hardware, for which they can never get the license.

The U6 headquarters and the central operations center are located in the thick of the square blocks of Brunnholn giant city of the Miklasgard megacity.

King Yarl was the first to conceive such a unified standard system which became U6net, an ADSL-like country-wide internet in 1979. The same year it created a compact information, reference and commercial information network that used telephones equipped with video displays as terminals.

The U6 also was the first system that regulated the pioneering, GSM-like mobile phone system in 1975. 1983 U6 ushered in telephony and U6net transmission over electrical power supply.

The Canyon Fjord

I love how a trip up every gloomy, abysmal fjord ends with a nice surprise of discovering a friendly habitation. This fjord lives up to its name, the Canyon Fjord. Unlike Scandinavian fjords which a re wide, this fjords is very typical - only 5 miles long and no more than 25 meters wide. The island's overcrowding is felt even at this forbidding place - people built into the cliffs.

Next to the picturesque fisherman's house you can see one of the famous vine trees, and a relatively young one, since they hibernate each winter for the first 60 years till they mature: they gather strength, juices and develop their famous vine-like roots and start growing tall in earnest. They are expected to live more than 800 years and reach heights of 1400-1600 feet.

A pile of freeways

This is Glada River, looking at Brithwold from Broksness just past the Mielborg Island. Looks like Tokyo, doesn't it?

Backstreets of Miklasgard

Rooftop water tanks and parking problems is the typical theme of Miklasgard's backstreets.

Bulgra, Bulgreya, Balgrey, Balgrahaven, Belgravia

In the lnaguages of the island they call this river Bulgra, Bulgreya, Balgrey, and it gives the name to Miklasgard unique Japanese-Chinese industrial-suburban district of Balgrahaven. The British in their trading outpost tried to Anglicize it to Belgravia (just as Brunholn - Brown Hills, Brithwold - Bridewell, ect) Here the river is at the outskirts of Balgrahaven, offering its banks for use as a playground and picnic area.

The Japanese Lantern Park of the Emerald Valley

When the whole island became fascinated with the Oriental culture (back in the the 10th and then again in 12-13 centuries)the kings have built several Japanese and Chinese temples. After King Kleist restored the national rule, the temples were partially destroyed, and then opened again nut without the attributes of Oriental worship.

These are one of the views of the famous Japanese Lantern Park in the northern section of the Valley, where the Braided Rivers area starts. This is water lilies on the Yahalma river branch.

This setting is almost identical - on Glada River:


And these are the famous lanterns of the Lantern Park.Many of the lanterns have been brought to the island during the period between 12 and 15th centuries.

The puzzle of the Marlborogh City:

Unlike new modern types of corals that appeared in the Early Triassic and Devonian periods, the two coral atolls that are the main characteristic features of the Marlboro city archipelago are an exception due to their very young nature. It surprises many scientists that the atolls were able to achieve this degree of growth and aging within such a short time.


There are more interesting observations that are outright puzzling:

• The Silversand atoll (the smaller) has distinct volcanic subsidence characteristics, however, it has a high central peak (see Zion Island), pronounced outward radial formations (the four major islands, Dutch Fort, Goodhugh, Spade and Silversand, and eight smaller islands) and terraced patterns with submerged radial features pointing towards the center of the atoll so characteristic of Tycho-type impact craters(!) on the Moon
  
• the Scotch atoll has an impact crater characteristics, except that together with the Silversand atoll it lacks geological composition - no brecciated rock, no laminated or molten rocks, and no central peak
  
• both atolls are ellipses and their major axes have a common alignment along 15 degrees true north
  

The perfect green flatness of the Emerald Valley's Braided Rivers

This is just a small gardening section of the lush and fertile Emerald Valley. This small field is located in the braided rivers section of the valley, between the rivers Yahalma and Glada.

The Yahalma Guardians, the pillars below are two of many that are so unique to the Island. The valley has only 5 of the famous pillars. These are natural, even though they appear as if built on purpose on both sides of a river branch that rejoins the Yahalma river that is seen in the foreground. Scientists have a tentative theory that a sudden cataclysmic draining of Glada's mountain lake (that was 600-900 meters deep in some places) sent catastrophic amounts of water scouring the paths of the river, carving a new landscape out of mountains nearby and in the Valley.


Further north, the mountains that separate the Valley from the Atlantic ocean, encroach on the braided rivers area. Though the rivers and their branches are shallow, nevertheless there is moderate shipping to be found, mainly for transporting tourists and the Valley's agricultural products. After a major rain the rivers become loaded with silt, as seen here. The minibarges are tied up at many of the shoals in the braided rivers.


This is the pristine look of the untouched braided rivers section. Actually, the islands are used to grow nut trees.

There is another spectacular view of the valley and its braided rivers here.

How scary is the MTG Terminator assault gun?

Maarheinigt is different from the rest of the island military in its weapons. Its assault weapon is MTG "Terminator," seen recently from news footage of the captures of Gibraltar, Cyprus and Namibia. No Maarheinigt soldier has ever discussed its technical data though. The Attland never sells or shows any of its military weapons, including the Terminator.

What is known is that it is a unique, three caliber weapon. Combining a 12 Gage shotgun barrel on center top, a 9 MM barrel on the right hand side of the shooter, and the NATO 5.56x45 caliber barrel on the left, the gun is not light.

However, the gun is made using Brog Corporation's custom-manufactured polyesters, into which the metal barrels are embedded. The result is still a light weapon for its cumbersome outline, and most of all, well-balanced. Maarheinigt soldiers were seen firing it with with one hand only, hence the nickname of the Terminator.

The weapon is pre-sited with its own, Koborg Optics' purpose-designed ACOG-like sight contained inside the carrying handle, comes with bipod, detachable sniper scope, night and star sights, Brog's D-size isotope batteries, a silencer for the 9 MM barrel, and attachable bag for capturing spent shells. In addition to standard shotgun ammunition, the 12 gauge chamber can also fire specially made explosive slugs containing electrical discharge or conventional explosives, as well as sub-caliber munitions.

The muzzle and the general cosmetics look like the designers borrowed from Israel's Desert Eagle and Tavor, and some versions of the gun also look like a Pancor Jackhammer. The 10-round 12 gauge cartridge magazine and the 20-round 5.56 MM magazine are inserted in the rear, side-by-side slots, almost reminiscent of Tavor's STANAG magazine location. The 20-round 9 MM magazine is inserted into the handle.

This is Emerald Valley's Tolkien paradise

Emerald Valley is magic, sunny, and emerald-green with lush vegetation. I think this is where Tolkien illustrators foresaw the setting for the books. See for yourself:


This veranda is on a branch of the Yahalma River. The Valley is a flat plateau nestled between the forbidding Northern Mountains, the cliffs guarding the city of Waldihnok in the north, and the natural squeeze where Morau-Slaatblau cities are located.

Years of perfect eliminations point to the SCS

The policy of the island nation quickly dictated the pursuit of the infamous leaders of the Socialist Government that ruled the island from 1947 to 1967. The agency referred to by the media-invented name of SCS carried out assassinations worldwide, and only 4 renditions, 2 out of which are public, to bring the leaders and their henchmen to justice on the island's soil.

The operations can be characterized by these common features: they have been perfectly carried out, there has been little or no hard evidence, no tangible suspects, no fingerprints, there is an obvious attempt to change the weapons, circumstances and modus operandi of hit men involved.

It is suspected that eliminations started as early as 1978, and gathered pace in 1982. From 1982 to 1993 worldwide his happened at a reported rate of 15-18 a year, according to statistics gleaned from Interpol. The year of 1986 was the deadliest, when eliminations reached a record of 47, mainly in the territorial USA. After 1993 the rate of hits drastically fell to 4 or 5 a year, and became more evenly distributed throughout the world.

From 2000 to 2008 there has been only 1 hit a year, and none during the year of 2002.

In USA the socialists died mostly in mysterious circumstances - 3 in small aircraft crashes while they had never been pilots, 10 on remote stretches of highways, 20 of heart attack, insulin shock, aneurysms, and 5 as victims of the Suburban serial murders, where they were found dead in upscale suburban settings of Chicago and Milwaukee. 14 died during tragic accidents while hiking in wilderness. 11 disappeared without a trace under suspicious circumstances. 6 were found dead in apparent inner city crime-drug scenes. 13 were found to have committed suicides, 4 of them by overdosing on common medications. The only suspect ever held in relation to these murders was later found to be a petty criminal who was framed.

In Turkey, 3 died, all victims of seemingly random crimes. In Brazil 2 were found to be killed by wild animals. In Africa, 4 were killed by crocodiles.

Worldwide, 19 were killed by a method that left fingerprints of totally innocent individuals.

Over 60 were killed by gunfire, and no shells were recovered. The bullets recovered were found to be manufactured in the same country.

There has never been any consistency in suspects. After several hits on USA there had been reports of mysterious dishwashers, car mechanics, church volunteers, who were unusually social and intelligent in the general area of a hit, not connected to each other, and disappeared during the weeks after each hit.

It appears that almost everyone of the socialists have been tracked down and under surveillance until the actual hits. 12 were killed despite having changed their facial and other outward appearances. One victim was even allowed to act on his fears and undergo a plastic operation, only to be killed after a follow up visit to his cosmetic surgeon.

Only 2 were obviously spared until the operation in 2008 when they were kidnapped in a dramatic, perfectly executed rendition operation and delivered to Attland, where during 3 months they were given a speedy trial, found guilty and executed at an undisclosed location and through undisclosed method.
