Imperium Offtopicum: The Aftermath

[Double A]

Macedonia and Marian Republic declare war on the Marathi Republic

... in defense of Hindustan. What's with the rep drop?

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Offensive wars, however noble their intentions, still benefit from an international mandate.

At least you weren't stabbing them in the back.

Kingdom of Great Britain

OCC: I would like to change my colour of my nation to a Royal Red, as there are many green nations in Europe and it is getting very confusing. /OCC

Government: While it is officially a Parliamentary democracy, the current political situation in Britain means any Prime Minister who would get denounced by the King would be voted out immediately. That’s what happened just last week when the former Prime Minister was voted out when the newly crowned king denounced him.

Leaders: Nicholas the First of Britain is the current King, he has just taken the throne over from his recently deceased father. He hopes to liberate Britain, and the world, from the Abborant Oppressors.

Prime Minister N.J.Cow is also newly appointed. While he is Australian at birth, he has taken a great interest in freeing Britain. There is rumoured to be a anti-Abborant plan in the works.

Economy: Open market

Social policy: Liberal

Kaetif attitude: In an effort to create a larger military, the Prime Minister has announced a plan that will give Kaetif full human rights status if they or their spouse is currently in the military or have served in the military for five years. If they have not they will have slightly less than human rights. While N.J.Cow has no personal prejudice against the Kaetif, he knows that Britain needs a larger military to liberate Britain. The plan is expected to increase the amount of Kaetif in the army to the same level of human personnel.

OOC: Sorry for the double post, but I think the nation post and any RP post should be separate.

IC: King Nicholas made a speech that was broadcast in English territory via paradropped radios.

To the current inhabitants of Britain and Ireland, wether you be Human, Kaetif or Abhorrent.

I know that my advisors have said that this is pointless and that all Abhorrents are viscous animals that understand neither rhyme or reason, but I want to give you one last chance. Tomorrow, a troop of highly trained SAS officers will paradrop down onto the area of London. You will either be waving the Red and Blue flag of Britain and the white flag of surrender, or we will hunt down you and your kind until you are all dead. Actually, that isn’t true. We might keep some of you as pets.

A similar thing goes with the Human and Kaetif populations. If you do not surrender to your rightful masters, the British, your rebellion will be punished swiftly and sharply. However, if you accept me as your one and true King and Britain as the only rightful ruler of Britain then you will be accepted with open arms by our landing parties.

RULE BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES! BRITONS SHALL NEVER BE SLAVES!

@All nations that are in Britain: Please leave Britain immediately or we will declare war on you.

@All the other nations: We would like to reconcile relations between all our countries as increased cooperation will help us remove the Abhorrent menace from the world. Nations are also invited to join us in a coalition to remove the Abhorrents from Britain and Ireland and put it under rightful ownership, the British.

OCC: What territories do I own in Britain?

The Marian government is proud to announce the accession of Brazzaville to autonomous city status, that is, a city with the same rights as a multi-city state.

Despite international condemnation, the Federation intends to continue support of the Macedonians in their Hindustani campaign. If the international community would legalise the strike, however, by all means, it would be appreciated.

The disappearing nuclear warhead from the Monagesque arsenal is concerning, though the beginnings of SDI are at least good news to cancel it out. People all over the Federation fear that the nuke could go off in the Federation, though the Federation ensures that any such thing would be severely punished and not bode well for Monaco, who would be directly responsible for not taking care of their weapons properly.

The ATO has expanded to include the Marian Federation, Federation of the Savanna, Zulu Confederation, and Kingdom of Konchasa. The agreement is entirely civilian, alleviating any concerns that entangling alliances could result. The agreement is meant to help the nations involved prosper, not to finance global domination.

Lord Ravanius Shot Dead!

New Era of Unrest Looming?

Hong Kong Leader Killed In Macau!

Kaetif Assassin Guns Down Ravanius!

Kaetif Rebels? Ravanius Shot!

Leaving his new Macaun holdings yesterday Lord Ravanius was shot and Killed. A kaetif formerly in the Macaun Military had been standing in wait on the main street as Ravanius drove through the city, and fired on him with a Macaun Engineered Sniper Rifle. Lord Ravanius was hit once in the upper chest, and again in the right cheek. He died within a minute. The Assassin then shot several Policemen befoe he himself was killed as they stormed his apartment.

Lord Ravanius' oldest son, Ravanus, has taken power upon his fathers death. He declared that he shall attempt to continue his fathers dream for the Nation, but no other statement has yet been made. No resistance has yet been seen to this new ruler, but it is likely to early to tell. A three day mourning session has been declared, in honour of a leadser who had done so much for his people.

Questions abound as to what this will mean to kaetif in Hong Kong. That the assassin came from their number is undeniable, but whether this is an indication of majority opinions or simply a common radical is unknown. Police have declared it to early to tell if the killer was acting alone, or in a group, either is possible, particularly considering the recent actions of Macaun nationalists in Petrograd.

OOC: Don't think mah police state is over yet. Ravanus and his brothers were taught statesmanship by Ravanius himself... :OOC

[Mathalamus]

oh by the way, we JUST found out about the disappearing nuclear weapon. no idea how we failed to notice before, but we take it very seriously.

 

[Tani Coyote]

The Federation announces its condolences for the late Lord Ravanius of Hong Kong, and wishes his son the best in strengthening and invigorating the nation.

However, it will keep a close eye on the race relations in the area, hoping that Kaetif are not subjected to persecution.

oh by the way, we JUST found out about the disappearing nuclear weapon. no idea how we failed to notice before, but we take it very seriously.

Just remember, if anything goes off, it is the direct fault of Monaco. States without the capability to protect their nuclear arsenal shouldn't have one to begin with.

"Dude, Where's My WMD?"

With the Brazzaville dispute having been resolved, Monaco scrapped its delivery of a nuclear-armed missile to the city-state. But when the military prepared to take the warhead back into storage, they discovered it was missing.

Authorities confirmed earlier today that the whereabouts of the ICBM are unknown. Monegasque intelligence suspects the culprits to be affiliated with one of a number of anti-Marian terrorist cells.

In preparation for shipping, the warhead was disassembled and stored in a number of unmarked container crates. Dockworkers describe it would be "easy" in such a state to load the missile either onto a different ship, or to scatter the components via cargo trucks.

Currently, the most widely discussed question within Monaco and San Marino is how such a sensitive package could be stolen so cleanly in the first place.

MOTHERFUKER!!! How could such a complete and total breach of security happen on my soil? I'm ordering a complete lock down of the entire nation, anyone trying to leave or enter will be shot, all flights are grounded, all ships foreign and domestic are forbidden from leaving port until thoroughly inspected. Everyone working at or nuclear facility will be vigorously interrogated until they cough up some information on who took the weapon and where it's current location is.

Just remember, if anything goes off, it is the direct fault of Monaco. States without the capability to protect their nuclear arsenal shouldn't have one to begin with.

Surely there's plenty of blame to go around, had the Marines taken a more proactive roll in fighting the Abhorrent menace and not leaving it to the smaller nations to save the world from total annihilation, than perhaps or weapons facilities would have been better guarded to prevent such a clusterfuk from happening. And lets not forget your new found imperial ambitions and claiming 90% of our territory in your SOI, I have half a mind to claim you had the nuke stolen so you can invade us next.

@All the other nations: We would like to reconcile relations between all our countries as increased cooperation will help us remove the Abhorrent menace from the world. Nations are also invited to join us in a coalition to remove the Abhorrents from Britain and Ireland and put it under rightful ownership, the British.

You have our deepest sympathies, we're not in a position at the moment to send aid to Britan. However we currently have an anti-abhorrent alliance formed, and if you agree to join it I'll gift you my attack points for this turn but on the next turn you'll have to help Germany secure there territory.

I would love to help you liberate Germany, however, our military are going to have a heck of a time securing Britain from not only the Abhorrents, but the Kingdom of New England as well. Alas, I will have to decline your kind offer and will hope that once Britain and Ireland is free, we can still help your struggle.

@Germany: While we cannot send military aid at the moment, we can send scientific aid. We will send 12 of our finest biologists who have dedicated their lives to finding a way to remove Abhorrents to your aid. We will also send a mathematician who sadly does not know much about Abhorrents but he is the Deputy Prime Minister’s cousin and a hard worker so we will send him as well.

@The Kingdom of New England: Evacuate England immediately. You have no place there. After we have removed the Abhorrents from London we will start attacking your bases. You have been warned.

OCC: I think New England should be NPC’d. Omega hasn’t posted since June 12.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I'll ask him. Rule of thumb, I don't NPC a player nation unless the player retires.

What territories do I own in Britain?

On the island? Nothing currently; once-upon-a-time, England and Wales. Also, KNE-controlled Holland.

In addition to Gibraltar, Cameroon, Gujarat and Oceania, Britain also owns the Falklands.


The Hetmanate has organized an elite task force of the Security Service to aid Petrograd in investigating the Macanese terrorists. Border guards have already arrested two suspicious individuals; the SBU is currently interrogating them.

Respecting that Monaco and San Marino has effectively sealed itself off, the Hetmanate offers to assign elements of the Black Sea Fleet to patrol the Mediterranean in search of the stolen cargo.

I understand. I’d just rather fight a NPC that I can do diplomacy with, that’s all.

So, what tiles do the KNE own? And does the KNE own all of Britain (except for the Abhorrent territories, of course).

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Yes. Also northern France.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Yes. Also northern France.

Any other territories? Sorry to keep asking, it’s just that there is like five countries in Europe that are similar shades of green. Could I change my nation’s colour to British Blue?

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

That's all.

I'll try to find a replacement colour come next update.

Or more likely, our troops would have died in a pointless crusade. Europe is a lost cause. All defense forces should be concerned with holding off the Abhorrent beasts long enough to retreat, not attempting to retake lost land.

And lets not forget your new found imperial ambitions

Formalising Brazzaville's status as part of the Federation is "imperial?" How more imperial was it than the former India seizing Portugal's colonies upon independence?

There have been cries for "lebensraum" in some parts of the legislature - especially amongst the Libertarian and Conservative Parties - due to our massive influx of refugees from the Red Zones, but we have been able to keep a lid on such cries.

and claiming 90% of our territory in your SOI,

You mean you claimed 90% of your territory in our SoI? Glad we're on the same page!

Implied consent. Any diplomatic issues you may have with us, were consented to.

I have half a mind to claim you had the nuke stolen so you can invade us next.

There is no desire to sew a bloodcrest into Monaco's lands, especially since it's all worthless. And as was said, the warmongering elements of the legislature have been kept in check. After the fallout from Brazzaville and the humanitarian intervention in India, there is no stomach for war anyways.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Petrograd sends its heartfelt condolences to the people of Hong Kong during these difficult times.

The Hetmanate has organized an elite task force of the Security Service to aid Petrograd in investigating the Macanese terrorists. Border guards have already arrested two suspicious individuals; the SBU is currently interrogating them.

Petrograd thanks their brothers.

No more so imperial than that highly imperial act.

Implied consent. Any diplomatic issues you may have with us, were consented to.

The world does not operate on the Marians whim. You pulled out of those territories; it is up for the people of Monaco and San Marino to decide whether they would wish to consent.

_____________

In further Petrograd news, the intelligence service's investigation into the bombings has concluded that the Macauan terrorist group receives its funding from a source outside of Macau... But just from whom still remains a mystery, as does whether such a source is ethnically Macauese or other.

At least you weren't stabbing them in the back.

Yeah, but I thought I made it clear that it was a limited war (I'm not out to destroy them), and that it was me aiding Hindustan. That would be like if Germany attacked France for no reason, then England, even though they aren't an ally, declares support for France and attacks Germany, but then England gets international backlash. It really doesn't make sense.

We made it quite clear that abandoned territories are on lease until it becomes profitable for the Federation to reclaim them anew.

As such, those who claim in these once Marian lands are seen as short-term investors, not long-term owners.

OOC: I dislike the rep system as it currently is altogether. Makes it hard to be an antagonist.

What I support is a foreign rep and a separate internal rep. Wars hurt foreign rep IRL, but not domestic rep(i.e. approval) provided they are quick and profitable.

So, my assault on Brazzaville would likely enjoy great support within the nation(being quick, enhancing power, very bloodless and cheap), but be condemned outside it.

It's all too common to be hated by people outside your country for being assertive, but to be loved within it, after all.
