not to Roman Intelligence. they inform the Emperor of anything that happens. well, that and we were already aware that someone might try that silly thing. didn't think it would be Austria.
OOC: if you post it here, i assume its public knowledge, or it got leaked out somehow.)

OOC: Eh, the first ones were getting deployed in a turn or two, so no big whoop. Just know that a lot of my stories won't be common knowledge to every country the minute they are posted.
Not to mention that your spies would get sent home in a salt shaker if you even tried to snoop on this project.

"Militaires Sans Frontières (Soldiers without borders)"- Special Task Division Motto
It is unknown exactly when the Special Task Division (STD) was formed; their early history was purged in a not-at-all-suspicious fire in their headquaters in Paris two decades ago. It is assumed they were formed in or around 2063, coinciding with the formation of the Women's Republic of France. In the wastelands of the ravaged French countryside, there was a need for dedicated vanguards willing to brave the wastelands, engaging in suicidal missions in high radiation regions, generally while under secrecy. These were dubbed as "Special Tasks" by the early government, and a section of the Woman's Army of France (WAF) was for training women to brave the irritated wastelands.
As the fallout increasingly got scrubbed away and communication across the world started to normalize, the role of the STD started to radically shift. As the survivors of the original STDs survived some of the most inhospitable regions ever experienced by man, the STD started to carry the most elite members of the WAF. Already trained in the art of infiltrating regions they should not return from, it seemed almost natural to turn them into a general special forces unit. In the late 2080s, the first rumors of Frenchwomen being sent to other countries was circulating. The first mission with conclusive evidence for its existence was the infiltration of the then-Volgan Republic in 2092, shortly before the Mayor of Volvograd received a sniper round to the head. An anonymous Russian source leaked this information in 2013, claiming the events were related. The source also claims that President Yvette Pettigrew, who was an STD sniper at the time period, was in fact the woman who fired the shot. No motive is known, and Yvette has refused to comment on these allegations. The rumor that she was the sniper also goes hand in hand with the rumor that she had multiple erotic encounters with a then-Volgan soldier during the same time period, although the source says nothing about that.
Ever since Yvette took the presidency in 2100*, the amount of speculation of the STD has increased dramatically. From allegations of arming feminists across the world, the disappearance of multiple misogynist politicians across the globe, and even crackpot theories that they control the French government itself, it is hard to separate their genuine actions with crazed conspiracy theories. With the official policy of classifying almost everything that involves this special forces unit, it is hard to pinpoint with any certainty of what they're doing. Alarmingly, current rumors place that they have been focusing in missions in East Asia specifically, coinciding with the UN peacekeeping mission and the Japanese invasion, although these are baseless accusations.
Perhaps the most famous incident involving the STD was in the summer of 2015, when Lucie "Clubs' Bardot, a mentally shattered operative, went haywire and instigated the Marie Curie University shooting. Her earlier attempts to leak the involvement of the French government in the Rosemary affair were ignored, and increasingly feeling betrayed, started the shooting in an attempt to get the media to notice her and her information. In the various personal accounts Lucie wrote, she claimed that renowned pirate Isabella D'Cruz was hired by the French government to infiltrate the Rosemary and obtain "nuclear secrets" from within the ship, in return for amnesty and citizenship. However, Lucie's unit was then sent to kill Isabella to cover it up, and she herself was the one to finally kill the pirate. Lucie then went on to claim the government tried to pay off the media initially, successfully preventing it from reaching the news until local news agencies found her scrambled notes after finding directions to them from a bloody playing card. To this day, the French government officially denies any involvement in the Rosemary Affair, and Lucie's entire argument hinges on an oral testimony of Isabella herself, who has been missing for months and is dead if Lucie's account is true. What truly happened on the Rosemary is still unknown, but so far nothing contradicts Lucie's theory, and is increasingly becoming the mainstream opinion as the Rosemary movement globalizes. Therefore, ironically the secretive STD might have helped unravel perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
Whatever the case may be, there is no denying that the STD serves as an instrumental force in France's ability to project her own power. Rome may have his carrier fleet, Indonesia might have his technological innovations, and the UAR has its expansive diplomatic clout, but France will have her crack black ops team, ready to lay down their lives for the republic and the feminist movment
*In the Women's Republic of France, the President serves 7 years in office, and has a strict two term limit, although no woman to this date ever has served two terms, with either their party nominating someone else or was defeated in the elections. At this point, there is a de facto limit of just one term.

Roman Naval fleet leaves Constantinople
a huge naval squadron, numbered some 100 ships of varying types, including the Aircraft Carrier Constantinople has left Constantinople for Ho Chi Mi city in Vietnam. Emperor Andreas Laskaris is personally commanding the fleet.
the Fleet will be split into three to ease traffic concerns, and will meet up in Vietnam. if you see a huge convoy of military vessels flying a big purple flag, that's us.

Although mechs in themselves may not pose to Platonic military doctrine, unless you could develop a rocket artillery mech, we would be interested in how mech research can aid in robotics, in developing for instance security bots.
We can hence set the develop of a security bot.
We could also develop cheaper modules for commercial defense.
We could also develop a heavy guard and assault bot.
We could even develop weird and wonderful maintenance drones.
O and there are medical reason too.
Hence we offer our German friends in Austria whether they would enjoy signing a Robotic Military Development and Research Pact.
Consider well for the aid they could give both our troops, as well as our police and anti-terror units. The heavy bots will especially prove useful for both dealing with hostile infantry and armor thanks to its rockets.
Consider well for great justice, for we will link Rome with such research in hope they too may enjoy the security bot. This pact will, of course, also benefit civilian robotic development.
Good. The Productive Caste will enjoy the combined efforts to develop robotics and other industrial areas. In the end Indonesia will not be claiming monopoly over the robotics industry; your and our wisdom will guide us well.

To Australian Prime Minister: David Walker
On behalf of the Governing Caste of the Platonic Republic I have been commissioned to set this letter as a request of friendship to be invented between our marine powers. Takis Papadakis is keen to see both our powers improve. Both our sunny powers must improve.
As you are possible aware we are interested in developing our industry, especially in the field of robotics and energy. Along with the military application robots are something for scientific and industrial interests. We are also keen on developing alternative energy sources, especially atomically. We have understanding of Thorium, yet still much has to be learned. The Productive Caste are hence to benefit along with the Protective Caste if we both benefiting in our knowledge and development.
Hence I have been commissioned to ask you to accept a Industrial Research and Development Pact that will cover areas of robotics, energy and even military production development if need be. It would benefit us both to be league. Our scientists can work together to advance our industries, while we can link with our allies so that all our industry will develop further. We will grow and grow.
Consider this for we must both grow to withstand those who dare compete against justice. Plato dictates that we must strive for truth and the truth is the true liberator of the soul.
May your days be just and well.

"Get our ambassador to Monaco on the line, please"
With a press of the button, a woman in a suit relayed her message to her secretary. France was in grave danger, with the unification of Germany breathing down the neck of the republic. Germany had grown its balls back after a swift neutering in 1945, and the combined industrial and military power of Allemagne dwarfs anything the Women's Republic could ever hope to match. History has shown that rise of German nationalism means conflict with France, and as long as France remains split between the Women's Republic in the north and the Empire in the south, a unified Germany can simply walk over both. If the women's republic is to survive, then the French have to unify as the Germans do.
"Right away, Mademoiselle President," a secretary responded.
Pettigew flung her brown ponytail behind herself, and started to look down at the papers below her. In the Golden Room of the Élysée Palace, the President of France was almost always stressed out. There had been so many issues that have piled up over the past few days, and frankly some of the requests and plans described underneath were so goddessdamned absurd, she wondered how France even survived. Crazed radicals were slowly taking over the nation, and the President shuddered to think what would happen once in office.
However, nothing topped the week after the shooting in Roche. The STD, the Army, hell, practically every organization in France was calling for her to order a forced-castration for Gullieume LeBlanc due to "national security". Some even tried to blame the college student for the shooting itself, despite the clear contradiction by numerous eyewitnesses. Sadly, it seems that France is starting to get so blinded by gender issues that it couldn't accept a male saving countless lives and aren't literally the embodiment of evil.
Yvette sighed heavily, but before she could get to look at this week's crap, a second voiced echoed from her speaker phone.
"This is Judith Martel. How can I help you, Mademoiselle President?"
"I need you to relay a message to the Monacans. Tell them we need to get closer with each other, maybe even have an anschluss of our own. Just do your magic, please. Yvette out."
With that, Pettigrew terminated the line. Everything was up to Martel in that regards; the President had more important things to get to than decide what exact words are said. Things like trying not to have the entire world hate her because idiots underneath her won't shut their mouths about hating men. Not to mention that debacle of the Rosemary Affair, which still remained a black stain on her Presi-
Yvette's train of thought instantly derailed when she heard pounding on the door to her office. She was not expecting anyone to visit her today. When the pounding continued, she reached underneath her desk and pulled out a pistol underneath. Even if there was a spontaneous need for a face to face chat, there should be a message from her secretary, who was suspiciously not saying anything. The door continued to withstand multiple blows, before the doors finally succumbed to the pressure of its assailant, and a man charged straight into the room.
Wearing an old, dirty Volgan Republic uniform, the man was covered in dirt and grit, and a dark, unkempt beard covered his face. He was holding a handgun, but was not pointing it at Yvette. In fact, despite his rugged appearance, he displayed more of a worried face than any angry expression, which clashed considerably with the situation at hand. Yvette's eyes widened. He seemed awfully familiar to the President, but her mind was drawing a blank to exactly who he was.
An awkward pause covered the room, neither pointing their weapons at each other. They just stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Eventually, the man in the Volgan uniform declared, "It's a tranquilizer gun. I know you'd get mad if I killed your guards".
Yvette's mind clicked. Could it really be him? It's been so long since they last met, at least a decade, and although he looked like an old mess, his voice was exactly the same. Yes, it is.
"Zhakov!," Yvette happily yelled as she ran up and embraced the man in a tight hug. The rumors on the news about how she had sexual encounters with a Russian soldier were not only true, but her lover revealed himself for the first time in a decade.
"I thought you were dead!"
"We both will be," the Russian said, "if we don't get out of here soon. Your life is in danger, Yvette. We got to go."
Yvette broke out of her embrace, shocked. She flatly protested, "Wait, what?"
"There's a missile fired from Caen, and its heading straight towards Paris in three minutes. The exact room we're standing in is going to be ground zero. I tried to send a team to Caen to stop the launch, but I haven't heard back from them and I fear the worst happened to them. Yvette, they're back, and they want you dead."
"Oh goddesssdamnit", Yvette bemoaned, "That's not enough time to get us out of he-"
Zhakov put his hand to the president's mouth. "I stole one of your black STD choppers on the way here, and its on the roof. None of your guards suspects a thing. Now we got to hurry, dammit"
The Russian forcefully grabbed her arm and started to run towards the roof of the Élysée Palace. Across the hallways, Yvette could see knocked out guards and workers, with tranquilizer darts lodged firmly into their necks and arms. Although Zhakov kept to his word that he didn't kill them, they were pretty much good as dead if a missile was truly heading this way.
After a tense two minutes, the two reached the roof. As he said, a helicopter was waiting for the duo, engines already on for a quick departure. Zhakov practically threw his lover into the helicopter before boarding it himself. The Russian gave a thumbs up to the pilot, and the helicopter started to ascend away from the President's building.
The two wordlessly stared at the building they were just in, hoping and praying that the Russian's story was just a hoax. As the helicopter sped away, however, both could see a steak of fire falling from the sky. Almost instantly, the streak vanished as it collided with the President's residence. A second later, a fiery explosion engulfed the building in an embrace of death, leaving shattered ruins behind. Thankfully, the damage seemed only limited to the intended target and immediate surrounding area, but it was certain anyone in that blast radius was critically injured, if not dead.
Yvette slumped backwards, not wanting to compute what just happened. In three minutes she just narrowly avoided perhaps the worst attack on French soil since the nuclear bombs fell, but the victory felt hollow. Hundreds are most likely dead, and the nation will most likely think she is among them. Even if they don't find her corpse, they'll most likely guess she was vaporized by the blast; her dust blowing into the air.
"They are back," Yvette said emotionlessly.
Zhakov wrapped his arm around her. "We got a safehouse in Hamburg. We're taking you there right now. I'll explain everything in detail once we get there. Until then... try not to think about it..."
The rest of the helicopter ride remained wordless.

To Monaco
From: France
The winds of Europe have radically changed. As the Germans unite into one nation, they rattle their sabers at France. As history shows, whenever German nationalism rises, they always look at us as natural enemies. As long as we remain divided, this new monsterous threat can easily push both of us around. But as history also shows, in 1805, in 1914, and even in 1944, that a unified France will always prevail over a unified Germany.
Our nations may have radically different societies, and we respect that. But we need to realize that we are all French, man and woman. If the French are united as one, whether it may be a military alliance or full union, we will be far better off than the two state solution we currently have. So, we offer you, Monaco, a mutual defensive pact, and hope that we can work together more strongly in the future.

Cole Phelps, Badge 1247
Irish mining authorities have announced today that a massive vein of silver has been found deep beneath the lead and zinc mines in County Tipperary. The Munster Mining Authority and the Dail Eireann's finance committee will hold a joint conference as to the management of this new resource. Geologists claim the deposit to be between 0.4 and 0.9 miles in width and 2.4 to 3.3 miles in depth. When asked for comment on the discovery near the end of a press conference of the Irish Republican Navy's redeployment out of UNVIFOR to more pressing fronts, Taoiseach Gerry Adams IV expressed optimism that the discovery would increase employment in Tipperary, but also cautioned that waste disposal from potential operations could damage agriculture upon which Eire's biofuel industry is based.

Reformation of the Gangnam Political System
The Gangnam Political system was, until now, your average democratical system, with parties, a semi-important president, representatives from all regions of the Republic and whatnot. If you didn't know it already, don't bother to remember it: WE'RE REFORMING!
A large majority of the Gangnam politicians ( approximatively 90%) have decided that a more efficient system is needed. As such, many politicians have willingly gave up on their political status , including the President himself. The new President, Je Sung, will now be the most important person in the nation, no longer being just a spokesperson for the ruling party. He will have 10 direct subordonates, the Ministers ( Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Commerce, Transport, Military , Tourism, Education, Research and Development and Urbanization. ) Those will lead their fields in cooperation with eachother. The number of politicians will be capped at 1 politician per 200.000 citizens of the Gangnam Republic. Elections will be done in rotation ( 1st year, President is elected. 2nd year, 5 Ministers are elected. 3rd year, the other 5 ministers. 4th year, local mayors and city/regional councils, then repeat). The Internal Affairs sector is by far the largest, encompassing more activity than all other sectors at once.
A revision of the Constitution is to be made, to improve it, add new parts, update outdated information and remove loophles that can be abused.
In adition to this, many official titles and posts will be removed, to rid the Republic of useless bureaucracy and better supervise corruption. President Je Sung , also a founder of the Gangnam Restoration Program and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, will assume his post in the next few days.
Several polls and panels within the Gangnam Republic show that the population approves with these reforms and that president Je Sung is a very popular figure , even if certain groups still condemn him for his completely un-political actions and his inability to remove himself from news headlines. Je Sung's reaction to the poll results was "My current priority is fulfilling the needs of the people. They elected me. I represent them. I am not one man. I am .... whatever number of people who voted for me. I am an embodiement of the collective voice. I am them. And they, therefore I, want easier problem solving, faster communications with those who can help i way, and , overall, a better life. Well, this nation CAN do that. We just did. Thumbs up for the people! I feel you, Gangnam citizens! " The President the proceeded to dance his way to the Presidential Office and sign the papers that would allow the Gangnam Restoration Program to begin powering up and testing the Energy Wall.
In foreign news:
-Gangnam spy infiltrates Japanese miliary base. Upon return, he quits his job. The Gangnam Intelligence Agency (GIA) is already infiltrating spies in the Japanese army ranks! The good news; the spies succeed. The abd news: they quit their jobs upon return! The GIA revealed a semi-classified document that shows one of their spies' declarations. Among the reasons, the Japanese Army's overconfidence and slow mobilisation have led the poor Gangnam spy to say "I refuse to take part in the slaughter to come . The Japanese don't know what's coming for them. You don't need my help. You need to send them a shipment of shovels, so they can dig their own graves while they still can." As a response for the anonymous spy's declaration, President Je Sung sent him a video of Gangnam soldiers relaxing at a campfire and sniping pine cones from 80 feet away by throwing shovels at them. The spy quit his job minutes afterwards.
-Indonesia refuses to sell the Ambalat System. The System could have been a nice addition to the Gangnam military. Still, several military officers have declared that the Gangnam Republic will prevail even in it's absence.
-New species of whale found . Evolution at it's best. A new species of whale was found around the Korean shore. Scientists are still researching the three specimens that have been captured so far. Minister of Internal Affairs Han Park has approved the creation of a natural reservation east of the Jeju island for this new species and is sending a letter to Japan informing them of the importance of the new species for the biosphere, urging them to not take any action in the area and promising that the Gangnam Republic will do the same.

He will have 10 direct subordonates, the Ministers ( Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Commerce, Transport, Military , Tourism, Education, Research and Development and Urbanization. ) Those will lead their fields in cooperation with eachother. The number of politicians will be capped at 1 politician per 200.000 citizens of the Gangnam Republic. Elections will be done in rotation ( 1st year, President is elected. 2nd year, 5 Ministers are elected. 3rd year, the other 5 ministers. 4th year, local mayors and city/regional councils, then repeat). The Internal Affairs sector is by far the largest, encompassing more activity than all other sectors at once.
A revision of the Constitution is to be made, to improve it, add new parts, update outdated information and remove loophles that can be abused.
In adition to this, many official titles and posts will be removed, to rid the Republic of useless bureaucracy and better supervise corruption. President Je Sung , also a founder of the Gangnam Restoration Program and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, will assume his post in the next few days.
Several polls and panels within the Gangnam Republic show that the population approves with these reforms and that president Je Sung is a very popular figure , even if certain groups still condemn him for his completely un-political actions and his inability to remove himself from news headlines. Je Sung's reaction to the poll results was "My current priority is fulfilling the needs of the people. They elected me. I represent them. I am not one man. I am .... whatever number of people who voted for me. I am an embodiement of the collective voice. I am them. And they, therefore I, want easier problem solving, faster communications with those who can help i way, and , overall, a better life. Well, this nation CAN do that. We just did. Thumbs up for the people! I feel you, Gangnam citizens! " The President the proceeded to dance his way to the Presidential Office and sign the papers that would allow the Gangnam Restoration Program to begin powering up and testing the Energy Wall.
In foreign news:
-Gangnam spy infiltrates Japanese miliary base. Upon return, he quits his job. The Gangnam Intelligence Agency (GIA) is already infiltrating spies in the Japanese army ranks! The good news; the spies succeed. The abd news: they quit their jobs upon return! The GIA revealed a semi-classified document that shows one of their spies' declarations. Among the reasons, the Japanese Army's overconfidence and slow mobilisation have led the poor Gangnam spy to say "I refuse to take part in the slaughter to come . The Japanese don't know what's coming for them. You don't need my help. You need to send them a shipment of shovels, so they can dig their own graves while they still can." As a response for the anonymous spy's declaration, President Je Sung sent him a video of Gangnam soldiers relaxing at a campfire and sniping pine cones from 80 feet away by throwing shovels at them. The spy quit his job minutes afterwards.
-Indonesia refuses to sell the Ambalat System. The System could have been a nice addition to the Gangnam military. Still, several military officers have declared that the Gangnam Republic will prevail even in it's absence.
-New species of whale found . Evolution at it's best. A new species of whale was found around the Korean shore. Scientists are still researching the three specimens that have been captured so far. Minister of Internal Affairs Han Park has approved the creation of a natural reservation east of the Jeju island for this new species and is sending a letter to Japan informing them of the importance of the new species for the biosphere, urging them to not take any action in the area and promising that the Gangnam Republic will do the same.

DECLARATION ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GLADIUS CHRISTI
Pax Christi in regno Christi
Pax Christi in regno Christi
These have been trying times. The destruction of our values. Death and chaos from the Cataclysm. The rebuilding of civilization only to see it fall into a new barbarism and war. Not since the black days of death and decay in plague-infested Europe has our faith been put to such a test. It is easy to turn our backs on the Lord and say that He has forsaken us. Falling back to this thinking is not the way.
I cannot pretend to know what divine purpose set humanity on its path to self-destruction. But I can say with confidence that salvation awaits he who weathers this storm. He who allows himself to be swept away will find only eternal suffering. As such, any attempt to take another off the righteous path is an act of the deepest betrayal. It is not only betraying him upon this earth, it is condemning his soul to damnation. This unforgivable act cannot be allowed.
It is for this reason that the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes of Malta and of the Malvinas hereby establishes the Gladius Christi, an organization dedicated to the finding and elimination of heresy. The Gladius Christi shall draw upon the knowledge of our forefathers contained within the works the Directorium Inquisitorum and the Malleus Maleficarum.
Those found to be guilty of heresy, or of aiding and abetting known heretics, will be sentenced to death via burning at the stake.
-Grand Master Andre De Luca
Included with the original publication of this declaration was a list of 118 suspected heretics detained by the Gladius Christi. This list is omitted for brevity.
