Under the direction of South Malaysia, Hyrule for Tomorrow, has been developed and launched. Hyrule for Tomorrow or H4T, is a long-term regional development plan that is aiming to fix all of Hyrule’s lose strings and to bring about a new era for Hyrule. It is split into four phases, and the following is the basic outline of the Hyrule for Tomorrow Phases of Development and what is under each phase.
Phase I
* Constitutional Suggest-A-Box – Citizen Registry, Shorter Minister Terms
* Forum Remodeling – New Hyrule Image
* Fix up Foreign Affairs – Look at Other Ministries Also
* Have a better introduction to what NationStates and Hyrule are and what you can do
* Surplus the regional population*
Phase II
* Find ways to help keep Ministries/Ministers Active
* Find ways to help keep Members active/around – Maybe a Continual Role Play Plot
* Surplus the regional population*
Phase III
* Decide if a forum admin or mod would be appropriate to assist Ness
* Surplus the regional population*
Phase IV
* Review development, improvements, and how H4T affected the region
* Decide whether H4T should become a permanent government identity in someway
Besides South Malaysia developing the H4T Campaign, he has also been working on something in secret, named, HyruleView. On the 4th of November he finally told the public what is was and etc. The HyruleView is a toolbar for Firefox and Internet Explorer that has exclusively Hyrule Content that will be available on the 15th of November for the public.
HyruleView Toolbar
This project, which was mentioned earlier, is now available for download. This amazing internet add-on includes everything Hyrule, including a button for embassy links, an RP button, and editing tools and software. All of us here are proud of South Malaysia for his hard work with this amazing device.
(To Download: Click on South Malaysia's name and click the HyruleView Banner in his signature. Follow the instructions on the website.)

Roleplaying:
Central Powers and United Reich Conference- The nations comprising the Central Powers Alliance (CPA) have met in Copenhagen, Protoa, who is the founder and lead nation of the CPA. Attending nations have discussed issues dealing with foreign policy and the recovery of the Sword of Nakana.
Rebellion- The Senatorial Province of Dacia, in the Roman Republic of Porcu, has begun the process to break away from Rome. While there is a mainstream and largely peaceful effort to regain Dacian independence there are terrorists, known collectively as the Popular Front, whose sole objective it is to throw out Roman influence from Dacia and the surrounding provinces. So far, the Popular Front has managed to assassinate the Governor of Dacia and force the Senate to send in the Roman Legions to quell the rebellion. However, the Senatorial Province of Hispania, hearing the news of Dacia, has also begun to rebel against their Roman rulers.
In other news, the Hyrulean Champions League will be started up once again (hopefully to stay ) Any and all nations are welcome to join, but hurry and sign up soon!
Command and Conquer Red Alert
A Risk style RP with Command and Conquer Red Alert Units is on its way to Hyrule but is still in its begging stages. It will allow people to conquer the world and increase their power all at once! Will the Allies prove to be too much, or will the Soviets show their might?? More people are needed,and people from other regions can join, so hurry up and get a good plot on the map!!

Today we interview the new Minister of Civilization, Canton Rouge. Canton Rouge has not been MoC for very long but already he is doing a great job on the map. He is active in the Role-Playing section of our forums as well as the Regional Map area. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Canton Rouge!
Tell me about yourself:
Durandel: How long have you been here?
Canton Rouge: Since late July of 2007, which is about 4 months.
D: Do you like it here in Hyrule?
CR: Of course I do, the people here know how to be serious, but also show humor.
D: Are you planning on staying here?
CR: Of course, as this region has been my home since well, I was a new nation.
D: What is your favourite Hyrulean Forum Board?
CR: A tie between the Regional Map because I wait for the new map requests, and the Roleplaying Board because it adds a new depth to the game.
Now for something completely different:
D: Do you enjoy video games?
CR: Sure, I mean, I enjoy rocking out to Guitar Hero. And when it comes out, Rock Band.
D: Have you ever played Zelda?
CR: Too many times to count.
D: If so, what is your favourite Zelda game?
CR: The one I sucessfully beat, Link's Awakening.
D: What is your favourite video game (not including Zelda)?
CR: Not counting Zelda, the best game would have to be Guitar Hero, because it allowed those with rock star fantasies to finally live them out.
D: You must be better than me at Guitar Hero because I stink at it!
D: Who is your favourite Zelda character?
CR: Link, but only because he's the almighty hero.
D: Of course. If Link weren’t so great, why would he be the hero?
Regional Stuff:
D: Congratulations on your win in the elections. How do you feel about your recent victory?
CR: A mix of surprise, and awe.
D: Are you enjoying being the Minister of Civilization?
CR: Indeed I am.
D: Are you planning on serving another term as MoC?
CR: More than likely, I will.
D: How is the regional map going?
CR: It's going great, because people are now getting their spot on the map, and the moment I was elected, I was able to give the map an overhaul to update it.
D: And you’re doing a bang-up job, BTW.
D: How can new members get involved with this map?
CR: They can always ask if they want to help out, because I'm but one nation. They can also know that they can claim their own spot on the map, no matter the nation size.
D: Sounds easy enough.
D: Finally, on a completely random note, how do you feel about the writers’ strike in Hollywood? Are you affected in any way by it?
CR: Well, on one hand, they should be grateful for their jobs, but also, I support them wanting to have a better contract. As for myself, since I'm not a writer, I really am not affected by the strike.
D: Thank you for your time, Mr. Canton Rouge! Keep up the good work!

Kameleon: Yank is such a funny and crazy word, where do the British get this from?
God-EMperor EM: I think most of the people here are nuts

You wake up at 3 in the morning and you have a sudden urge to eat. You don't even have to be sleeping. You could be watching TV or on your computer and just have to eat something. You go upstairs and look for something to feed your starving belly but all there is, is popcorn. That's right. Of all the food, it has to be POPCORN. So you tell yourself, "I'll be very quiet." But you're not, are you? You take the wrapper off, CRINKLE, CRINKLE. You open up the microwave, with your hand trying to keep it quiet by holding onto it. You press the button to open it and, CRASH!, there goes your hand against the wall. You put the popcorn in, close it (SLAM) and press the buttons. Believe me, it's the loudest BEEP you'll ever hear. BEEP BEEP BEEP. You turn it on. VRRRRROOOOOMMMMMM. You sit there waiting for it to stop and then comes the popping. It's like little grenades going off in the microwave. Your parents are probably like, "The beeping robots are attacking the popping robots again." Finally, you take out the popcorn and go to your room. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm like a deer. Yep. A deer. When it runs across the street and gets caught in the headlights, well, that was me. I would stare at that popcorn for like an hour, in my bed, saying, "I'm gonna eat you sooner or later." An hour later I finally open it up and eat it. My parents are probably still awake, trying to hear the battling robots, but of course, the robots are fast asleep.

Well, that's it for this update! Hope you enjoyed it!
