Are you kidding me?
EU uses criminals as free-workers. It's just a program were they get to shorten their time at the jail and actuall do something.
The Slavic Union uses re-education procedures. They are generally offered to the criminals. But often criminals do not understand this concept. The Slavic Union does not waste time to explain it to them, there for most of them are thrown onto the "Naked Island" which resembles Alcatraz, where they are forced to dig in mines and controlled by a military police.
The criminals are not allowed to go anywhere beside the island. Military boats with machine guns are patrolling around the island 24/7. No one ever escaped the island. Until now, the place was held secret. Apparently, this is where the slavic union throws the fasicst groups, nationalist groups and terorists for the sake of holding the union together.
There have been reports where the criminals have been sent to Umoslava , a town in The Slavic Union. Most non residents of the area and new people who move in, describe headaches and the local populace to be different.
There has been large military and scientific activity in the area.
The Slavic Union has announced that it plans to launch a satelite which will be used to observe movement around the borders and within the country. Due to the fact Svernloch failed to present a proper payment plan for SAM II, The Slavic Union begins building standard SAM installations and other anti air buildings, vehicles and gun emplacements.
They are scatered around the country. Anyone close to the borders of The Slavic Union would notice there has been a rather large ammount of mines being placed trough out the borders.
Per Svernlochs demand, everything relating to overlord tanks has been sent to them. The Slavic Union remains puzzled to just why the upgrades were sent for overlord tanks, when they are to be returned now.
