From the Consi Tribune
A new high speed rail opened today after 5 years of construction. The rail connects all 3 countries in the Brikjian Isle, and stops in most major cities.
The idea was brought up in 2002 by then Ajbrikjian Minister of Transport Michael Forn and all three governments quickly approved of the project. After almost 3 years of planning, the construction started in 2005. The project was delayed in 2006 and 2007 due to economic problems, but started again as the economy healed just as the recession hit hard in the United States.
From Consi City, the rail stops in Arali, then crosses into Saljbrikjia, stopping in Darir, Wuster, and Palentino. After that the rail crosses into Ajbrikjia stopping in Reaoe, and then crosses into Consi, stopping at Olto and Resiburg.
The rail will help with the Resiburg 2011 Lego Nations Olympics, ferrying people from all over the Brikjian Isle, and other spectators from Consi - Arali International Airport to Resiburg.

Consi wins in PK shootout thriller in Brikjian Cup final
From the Consi Tribune
Consi won the Brikjian Cup in a thriller today against Saljbrikjia at Wuster National Stadium in Wuster, Saljbrikia. Consi won 2-2 (win in PK shootout).
After advancing to the final Sunday the stage was set for the two teams to play. Ajbrikjia, after a amazing victory over Consi in the final last year did not even make it close to getting into this year's final.
The match started out slow, but David Marland of Saljbrikjia struck first, scoring after a perfect upper 90 shot in the 39th minute. In the 65th minute Oscar Reed a forward Consi was red carded after he received his second yellow card. Consi struck back in the 74th minute when Alexander Reslyn scored and again in the 79th minute with a score by Hans Eyd. Just as it looked like Consi would win Gerard Saceer scored in the 88th minute, tying the score at 2 all. Extra time went scoreless, and the game was all down to a penalty kick shootout. In an intense finale both teams scored all 5 kicks, but Consi prevailed when Hans Eyd scored, and Saljbrikjia failed to come up with a return score.
This is Consi's 16th victory in the Brikjian Cup since the football tournament began in 1971.

Two killed in police raid in Arali
From the Consi Tribune
Two were killed as police raided a townhouse in Arali that was housing 15 weapons traffickers. Police stormed the building at 4:30 AM. As the police commandos were entering the house they were fired upon by two of the traffickers with AK-47s. The commandos shot the men, and went on to arrest the remaining criminals. Seven of these men were previously wanted, but the others were not wanted.
The weapons traffickers were believed to be delivering weapons to rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the militia in Megablokland.
Police also impounded three planes parked at Consi-Arali International Airport (CAI) that were filled with guns, explosives, and ammunition. The townhouse was only 3 kilometers from the airport and it is suspected that the traffickers were only staying overnight before leaving for Africa and Megablokland.
Further information on the weapons traffickers is classified and currently being investigated by the police.

Air Consi flight 234 emergency lands in Zurich
From the Consi Tribune
Air Consi flight 234 from Consi to Frankfurt emergency landed in Zurich after a jet engine on the Lego Aeronautical Systems L-3181 caught on fire. Upon landing, the fire was quickly put out by firefighters on the ground. All passengers and crew were evacuated safely.
Flight 234 took off 9:10 PM local time. While entering Swiss airspace, the engine caught fire. The pilot Captain Hans Durmand quickly maneuvered the plane with one engine to Zurich Kloten Airport, the nearest airport where the plane could land. Fire trucks met the plane on the ground putting out the fire in the engine.
Passenger David Ross explained what he experienced. "We were flying and all the sudden there was a loud 'bang!' A couple seconds later the pilot came on and said we would be making an emergency landing. You could smell the smoke coming in from the flaming jet. So the flight attendants got everyone from the back of the plane to empty seats in the front."
The plane named "Arali" registration CO-AIY sustained heavy damage to the right engine minimal damage to the rear, and will fly again. It is confirmed that the cause of the fire was because bearings on the rotor of the jet failed causing gas to build up, making the jet explode. Air Consi spokesman Emanuel Redd said the incident could have been avoided, and a routine maintenance check would have detected the problem.
CO-AIY is currently at Zurich and is scheduled to be flown back to Consi on an Antanov AN-124 on January 27. This is the first ever incident for Air Consi since it began operations in 1934 as Consian Air Service with a daily flight to Wuster, Saljbrikjia.

From the Consi Tribune
Consian car company Aerist announced today that it will launch its new car, the Wind in quarter 2 of 2010. It will be the first car by the company sold outside of the Brikjian Isle.
The car is a hybrid, the first by Aerist, and gets 20.83 kilometers to the liter. The Wind starts at €12,000 and for the diesel variant €13,000.
The Wind is scheduled to go into production the last week of March, and will delivered to Consian Aerist dealers soon after. The car will enter Saljbrikjian and Ajbrikjian market simultaneously.
In July, the car will begin to be sold in the rest of Europe. The Wind will be sold in the following countries: Ajbikjia, Consi, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Saljbrikjia, Slovenia, and Spain.
CEO of Aerist Sierra Lerain is hopeful that the Wind will be successful. "Our employees have been working on this concept ever since we started operations here at Aerist. Now we our taking our operation to a whole new level. We are expanding elsewhere in Europe, and opening 3 new plants across the Brikjian Isle to produce the Wind. The Wind is also one of the first cars to have a diesel hybrid variant, and for a low price too. I think this car will do good in its international debut," she said at a press conference.

Transportation in Consi: Roadways and Vehicles
Part 1: Roadways
Consi has a roadway system linking the Brikjian Isle. A map of the Brikjian Isle Road system, major roadways shown. Blue lines represent roadways connecting the three countries, and orange lines regional roadways (green sign Consi, yellow sign Ajbrikjia, red sign Saljbrikjia).
Smaller roads with the prefix S connect with various other points on the island (e.g. Consi City to Arali S11), although they are not shown. The main motorways are A2 and A5 which together form a full circle around the island.Because of the Brikjian Tri-Nation Pact citizens of all three countries are able to travel across without customs.
Part 2: Vehicles
Scooters and motorcycles are also very popular as a cheaper and smaller alternative for city dwellers. From left to right: Vespas and a pizza delivery scooter.
Most cars in Consi are foreign made, but Consi does have one car company called the Aerist Motor Company which manufactures a few models. Aerist sells only on the Brikjian Isle, but has plans to sell the new model, the Wind, in other countries in Europe. The Consi National police Force has many cars by the company, such as this Aerist Lancer:
