 Storms Rage across the Nation

As predicted by lead meteorologists from the Berm’s Institute of Meteorology, five time winner of the international meteorological convention for most accurate weather estimates and proud sponsors of the HermPost Berm’s Estimate Weather Report, a storm of colossal size has struck Hermistan, the first of its kind this season. Luckily, damage reports are still low as more information comes in from across the more remote regions of the Cottage Region which received as much as ten inches of rain in some parts.

Hastily dug irrigation ditches aiming to move the vast quantity of water pouring down from the heavens into local streams, estuaries, and aqueducts proved ineffective, resulting in the flooding of countless farms across the three central states of the Cottage Region. The City of Cottage itself saw high rain totals, too much for the municipal sewer system which overflowed into the river. The Berms sanitation crews have been deployed to the contamination site, with hopes of decontaminating the river with five hundred pounds of soap.

“It looks like my meteorologists will win the award for the sixth year in a row,” says the Berm in a press briefing about the storm. “Our closest competitor, the Duff Herm and his Duff Turtle will not be able to recover from their fatally flawed prediction, not after we’ve predicted this storm exactly right!”

The Duff Herm and his Duff Turtle, however, are not admitting defeat as easily as the Berm expected, however, since, strangely enough, the skies of Yostacorn were cloud-free today prompting the Duff Herm to argue his prediction, thus far, seemed to be holding out. The Commission that gives out the award, formed of a representative member from each of the participating countries (Alk, Drome, Duff Hermistan, Egland, Eri Hermistan, and Hermistan) will determine whether or not the Duff Turtle’s prediction holds out in their next meeting though two members have already stated their opinion for either side.

  Homeless Duff Herm Guild Protests Against Large Scale Advertisement The HDHG, the largest free Duff Herm organization in the country, have begun nationwide protests, some revolving into uncontrollable mobs, that have gathered in the country’s largest cities to protest big advertisements and billboards. The Department of Emergency Management says that, “Two hundred billboards worth a grand total of 1,900 Herm Dollars were destroyed by protesters.” While the Department (which is largely run by members of the HDHG) discusses their next move, the Homeless Duff Herm Guild has started a massive mobilization of militias across the country. The leaders of the guild have been silent about their intentions, but the members of the militias believe that they are needed to protect Hermistan from some unknown external threat. Currently, around a thousand Duff Herms march to the border of the Umbucci Clan of Stanistan, leading them is legendary General Jim Kurt.  One HermPost reporter ...

  Herm In Walizburg Invents Flapjack Dispenser In Walizburg, the region that has already made such notable inventions as the double salt shaker which could dispense two different kinds of salt by just pressing one button, a young Herm craftsman and his Eri Herm apprentices invented a creation that may go down in history as a Duff Herm’s flappyjakiest toy: the Flapjack dispenser! This new innovation has already won awards from many different Herm science institutes for its clever use of mechanics and levers. Currently, two hundred copies have been made, and a hundred and eighty-two have been sold for 4 Herm Dollars and 15 cents to a throng of lucky Herms who happened to walk past the store by chance when they were going out to do their daily chores in the city and couldn’t resist buying their Duff Herms this wonderful late Christmas present.  After all the publicity from the various local newspapers, the new invention attracted many rich Herms who were eager to buy the orig...

  HDHG Suspected of Illicit Activity When one Herm, a resident of Pozny, received a letter that he had acquired a vacant plot near the center of town, he did not know whether to be frightened or happy. He ignored the letter, dismissing it as spam, but more and more just kept coming. Stubbornly, he continued to ignore the letters, until, around a week after the letters had started coming, he received a letter from the Mayor’s Office saying that the lot was poorly kept and evidence suggested it belonged to a hoarder, and, that unless he took care of his property, the City Council was going to fine him for neglect of property. Confused, the Herm went to the clerk of the Mayor’s Office and asked if they had, in fact, sent that letter. To his surprise, according to the City’s records, he had owned the property for eleven years now. Understandably, a lot left untended for eleven years would definitely show signs of neglect. Upon finding himself in the center of the City by chance the ...
