Last night, The Presidential Palace was stormed by the people. The National Guard, realising they would no longer be paid, chose not to resist and to allow the rebels through.

El Presidente was rescued from the Palace by commandos but subsequently handed over to Lemmingtopian Forces in an exchange just off the coast on speed boats for an unspecified amount of Drachmas. He is reportedly under house arrest at his, previously unknown, Lemmingtopian villa while the authorities there decide what to do with him. His deputy, Penultimo, escaped the Palace and is unaccounted for.

An opposition Leader has replaced El Presidente but will not take the presidency, instead being named as Chair of the Interim Government. He is assisted by his deputy who happens to be the cousin of Penultimo and, by chance, looks exactly like Penultimo and, funnily enough, is also called Penultimo.

The first act of the new Leader was to announce the end of the Tropican Nuclear Weapons programme and to invite Lemmingtopian inspectors to oversee the process.

The nations main radio host, loyal to El Presidente, has called the entire affair a "cowardly act of surrender to a foreign empire which hasn't even fired a shot" and called on Tropicans to resist. As yet, no-one seems to have answered the call.
