Remembrance of the Five Nations, Creation of the Six

By: Liú Cái

It is fully understandable that with the diversion of the past two centuries, first with the Guómíndǎng-Communist dichotomy, and second with the dissolution of both Chinese nations and the imperialist ambitions of various states including but not limited to the Empire of Japan and the Gangnam Republic, the concept of the great Chinese state and nation has been abandoned in the favor of greed and temporary advancement of the petty states that claimed to be China before. Neither the People’s Republic nor the Republic could claim to be any sort of Chinese state due to the mass amounts of the five old ethnic groups located outside of their borders. Indeed, it is with first and foremost the pettily shortsighted competitive spats between the People’s Republic and the Republic that prevented the formation of the Greater Chinese State. And what is this Greater Chinese State? Well, we can argue that the Greater Chinese State consists of all those people who are Chinese. But, with the increasingly vague definition of ‘Chinese’ being soiled by foreigners and local governments alike, what really is a ‘Chinese’ person? First off, let us look at the peoples most commonly called Chinese by foreigners. These peoples make up a majority of the Chinese people and are perhaps the most famed and esteemed abroad. With twelve of the fifteen historical Chinese dynasties being led by these people, it comes as no surprise their august nature and grandiose historical pride. Indeed, these peoples, the people most commonly mistaken as the whole of the Chinese peoples, are the Han. They make up the bulk of the Chinese peoples, and are the most famed, but are not the leaders by any means. Despite this, we currently see the Empire of Japan and the Republic of Gangnam occupying rightful Han territory. Indeed, even the Han have had their failures and concessions to other Chinese peoples in the past. The most famous conquerors of China, who are remembered primarily for such rather than their westwards movement, make up perhaps the smallest group of the Chinese, but they have brought massive prestige and fame to the Chinese name during their great endeavours. Despite only having led one of the Great Chinese dynasties, and having only had their time in the limelight for a brief period of time, the ephemeral power of these Chinese peoples must not be forgotten. Some of the most northern peoples of China, the Mongolians keep their proud militaristic culture in the harsh terrains of Greater Mongolia, leaving only for their mass exoduses of conquering that formed the Yuan Dynasty and changed Eurasian history forever. Just east of the Mongols are a group of peoples currently under the immoral and unjust rule of the Koreans of Gangnam. The Manchurian peoples, progenitors of the final of the Great Chinese dynasties, proud and hardy peoples of the Northeast, are currently chafing under Korean rule. It is the duty of the rest of the Chinese peoples to liberate the great Manchu peoples from oppressive overlordship. For the three remaining nations, we have the Hui Muslims, the Turkic peoples to our west, and the Tibetans already proudly waving their flags under the great leadership of our current state, soon to be the Chinese state. China will rise, and Sìchuān will be at its head.

The Declaration of Formation of the Grand Union of the Six Nations of China

Henceforth, the People’s Republic of Sìchuān no longer exists. From this moment, the lands formerly administrated by the People’s Republic of Sìchuān will be led into a new age for these six Chinese peoples by the new Grand Union of the Six Nations of China. For Glory.

The Grand Union of the Six Nations of China affirms its predecessor’s war against the Autocracy of Japan, and its membership within the United Nations and the International Fair Trade League, and promises immediate liberation through any means for the Manchurian peoples chafing under violent and dictatorial Korean rule. The Grand Union of the Six Nations of China also notes its immediately enforced control over the lands of all the Six Nations of China.

Thus we offer Gangnam an ultimatum similar in nature and generosity to that given to Japan. Turn over the lands of Manchuria within a season, or be ready for their immediate military annexation by the Glorious Forces of China.

Good day.
 
Really, Bair? Gangnam has a perfect flanking position and you couldn't have waited until after we'd castrated Japan?
 
Well, at least it's not Tani that's splitting the party... :p
 
Hamburg, one day later

Yvette, leaning over a table piled with various notes and drawings, observed the room she was in. Soldiers of various nationalities were communicating in tongues Yvette did not understand. Wearing their uniforms of whatever past service they were in, it was almost as if the President of France walked into a UN session of soldiers. Prominent displays of wolves littered the room's walls of solid concrete, and almost every soldier had a patch of a howling wolf covering any national insignia they had. Yvette could even notice some French soldiers in the room, making the majority of the female minority of the gathering, although she couldn't understand anything they were saying.

These were the Wolves of Fenir, a semi-secret organization that defies national borders. Coming from every part of the globe, they served no state, instead tying themselves for freedom of every human across Earth. Despite France's less-than-stellar track record of gender equality, the fact that France was a fully functioning republic meant that they tended to leave the Woman's Republic alone in the hopes they would fix their problems themselves. It also probably helped that Zhakov was secretly the leader of the whole organization the entire time.

The room went quiet as the Russian walked into the room. With his uniformed cleaned up and his beard trimmed, he looked much more fitting as the leader of perhaps one of the largest PMCs in the world. With a confident swagger, he walked right next to Yvette and placed his arms around her hips. A moment later, the two's lips connected to each other passionately, a kiss worthy of a decade of separation. Applause and cat calls filled the concrete bunker in joy.

After the lover's embrace, Zhakov cleared his throat. This was, after all, a makeshift meeting of his most trusted followers.

"Wolves," he began in French, for the benefit of Yvette, "They're back. OSIRIS is back. And they tried, no, almost succeeded at assassinating the President of France, let alone cause the deaths of hundreds of individuals. Obviously, such a coordinated attack of that caliber meant that the cells are uniting, and are trying to enact their endgame".

"Wait, cells?," Yvette asked, confused by the Russian's story.

Zhakov nodded. "Yes, cells. With an s." He paused for a second, before continuing, "I think we should start from the top, so that everyone here knows what we're talking about. The STD discovered them before I did, so I think you should tell your side, Yvette".

"Okay," Yvette responded. "In 2091 we found evidence of a weird death cult in Sicily. They were found to have impressed some French fishing boats and killed their owners, and we weren't having any of it. We were sent down to eliminate the entire group, and we thought we did so. But one of the leaders, Fiorino Napoletani, survived and fled to Russia. He changed his name to Abram Yakovlev, and even became the Mayor of Volvograd. We didn't like leaving loose ends, and apparently the then-Volgan Republic didn't like him much either, so we cooperated with each other for a hit on him and some of his top followers in Russia". She turned to Zhakov, "That's when I first met you, Zhakov. You were one of those Volgan soldiers. I believe you just wanted to burn them all to death without caring about the consequences".

"And sniping still remains the coward's way to kill targets, you coward," he teased back. "Anyways, after that, the STD headed back home, but I found documents showing they were global. When I tried getting the decadent Volgan Republic to realize this, they just laughed at me. Afterwards, I simply just deserted and leaked the events of the assassination to try to get people to see what happened."

"I have an order for the STD to plug that leak, you know," Yvette coyly said.

"You might want to call that off, then," Zhakov responded. "So that's when I formed this group, to hunt down OSIRIS and finish them off. I thought we achieved that goal in 2102, but obviously I was wrong. Now, from what I know, they're a death-worshping organization that seemingly hates everyone in the world and wants to kill everyone but themselves and dance in their ashes. I heard that they might had been formed during the time of the Pharaohs in Egypt to shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union, and everything in between. What I do know for sure, however, is that they were instrumental in causing the Nuclear War that almost wiped humanity out. Then they planned to rule the irritated wastelands.

The only problem is that each cell lost contact with each other once the bombs hit. They knew the general locations of the bunkers, but not their exact locations. That made it surprisingly easy to hunt them down; it seemed like we knew where they are better than they did. However, we must had missed some spots, and those spots joined together. I'm guessing they wanted to kill Yvette out of revenge for killing Fiorino and triggering their almost-downfall. Anything else, in my opinion, would just be icing on the revenge cake.

Now, our goal is simple. Find their base, kill their leaders, and hopefully burn them out for real this time before they start causing more trouble. Any previous missions we might have had are officially on hold until this is accomplished. Finishing OSIRIS is our top priority. Now, one of our kind, mysterious suppliers have given us some free guns and ammo for this task, along with trying to help us locate their base. Until then, everyone is dismissed. The Pack will survive".

Applause once again filled the room, along with some wolf impressions. Yvette tugged at Zhakov's arm, and pulled him aside.

"So, what about me being the President of France? Shouldn't I go back and announce I'm alive?"

"No," Zhakov stated firmly, "It's too dangerous. OSIRIS clearly wants you dead, and will probably stop at nothing to do so. You revealing yourself would be suicide. Plus, we could use an extra trigger finger for the inevitable raid."

"But what about France?"

Zhakov shrugged. "Don't you have a vice president in case the president dies?"

"...and we now have confirmation one of the previously unidentified casualties in the bombing of the Élysée Palace is in fact Vice President Adéle Camus. With Pettigrew missing and Camus dead, no one knows exactly who will take up the mantle of the President-"

Annette Renard clicked the TV off, not wanting to hear another second of the tragedy. These certainly were troubling times for the survival of the Matriarchy, but she didn't have to surround herself 24/7 to it. It was taxing to the soul, and she just needed a break. She got off the chair and started to head towards the kitchen. She was hungry, and Charles wasn't home to make her a sandwich.

Heading towards the refrigerator, the phone suddenly started to ring. Annette glanced down at the number; but the caller ID simply displayed it as a private caller. It was most likely just a telemarketer, but what if it wasn't? She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello, this Annette Renard speaking"

A familiar voice echoed from the speaker. "Annette! This is Jeannette Hiver. I need to talk to you right now"

Annette was glad she took the risk. "You want me back on your show? I could definitely use a ra-

Jeannette impatiently interrupted her, "No! Something even far grander than that. Pettigrew is gone. Camus is dead. There's no clause for anyone else to ascend. You know what that means?"

"No, I don't, sor-"

"It means they're going to probably have an emergency election soon. As you know, the Venus Party loves me, and they think I might have a shot to become the President in 2107. I think they may want me to run now, though, with the political uncertainty. My only problem is that no one else in the party has a goddessdamned backbone. They say they want to save the males from their hormones and finally bring a matriarchy to the world, but in reality they always caved to Yvette and the damned Nationals. But I remember you from the show. I heard you speak. You have a backbone. You speak from the heart, and you want to see the ultimate victory of womanhood!"

Annette was shocked by this development. "Y-You mea-"

Jeannette excitingly yelled, "YES! I want you to be my vice president! I simply will not run otherwise, and that will probably lead to another National Party victory. I know you have what it takes to be in politics, and the people simply adore you and your humble background, let alone your writing. With my resources and your charisma, we'd be an undefeatable duo. What you say?"

Annette paused only for a second before enthusiastically replying, "Yes! Let's do this, Hiver!"

Spoiler OOC :
Part III sometime this weekend. I'm such a cocktease, aren't I? :p

Also I apologize in advance if some people don't like the conspiracyish nature of this story. Not everyone enjoys it, but I couldn't help myself. I hope you don't mind too much
 
Mind? I might just adopt it for my own purposes... :cooool:
 
was ment to put this up earlier, but my little sidetracked me into a super long game of Civ V

And now I Present

Thus we offer Gangnam an ultimatum similar in nature and generosity to that given to Japan. Turn over the lands of Manchuria within a season, or be ready for their immediate military annexation by the Glorious Forces of China.

The Gangnam Republic acknowledges the presence of the Han Chinese population in the area. The Republic also tried to integrate them into the Gangnam Republic without destroying their national heritage, by allowing them to maintain their language and even a certain degree of autonomy, the area being called "Han" on political maps and having twice as much representatives in the Senate than any other region.

We understand that China wants unification with the lands currently under Gangnam control, but we also inform China that Gangnam did NOT conquer those lands, but secured them to protect itself, China and the rest of Asia from a possible Japanese invasion. The Gangnam Republic would gladly give away those lands back to their rightful owners, but given the current war with Japan, the situation in mainland Japan will have to take priority. Once Japan will be ousted from the mainland, then you can have those territories and the population, but we must hold on to our fortified positions and stay on the course of the war plans for now. Maybe if you aid in ridding mainland China of Japanese occupation, you'll get those lands before the war ends.

Currently, the only compromise situation is to split away said region from Gangnam as a semi-independent state of it's own which will choose it's allegiance after the war ends. By doing this, the region could be ruled by both the Gangnam Republic and the Chinese , both aiding in it's defense and both sticking to their original plans without interfering with the other.

Thus, I, President Jae Sung of the Republic of Gangnam Style, give the seat of President of Han to Senator Yao Cheng, the elected Senator from the area. The Han nation will be led by both China and the Gangnam Republic until the war ends, when it will choose it's allegiance.
This decision is not against the Chinese; it's taken to protect both the Chinese and Korean population from the Japanese. Somehow, the Japanese already sent an emissary to offer their aid to the Gangnam Republic against "the foolish Chinese who want to take over half of your country" . The Gangnam Republic rejected the Japanese offer, as they are the cause of this conflict after all: if not for their occupation of mainland China, the Gangnam Republic would have never expanded into the west.

Please understand, my Chinese cousin, that infighting during war times is not what we need. We need unity against the tyrant of the East. We need to stand together, to eliminate the main threat, and then resolve such political issues . My priorities are set. Gangnam has chosen.

The Han Republic is still a working project, since we can't just create a nation overnight. The formalities are being done, and only some provinces of the Han region are currently officially recognized as Han. More will join during the following seasons, but do not expect immediate responses. Splitting a nation is not an everyday thing. Any mistake could lead to an unwanted war, and we must avoid that at all costs. The population of the Gangnam Republic and even the newly formed Han already expressed their dislike of this decision.
Please. Don't ask for more, as this is the ultimate sacrifice.

I did my part, and for the sake of Han, China and the Gangnam Republic, please, make Japan your priority.

~ President Je Sung of the Gangnam Republic

==============================

From: Han
To: China

The Han population is currently discontent with this split form the prosperous Gangnam Republic, but we cannot deny our heritage. Therefore, expect certain regions of the former Han area to refuse to join the newly-formed Han state.

We also feel that the Gangnam Republic at least knew what it was doing. We feel that a compensation for the Gangnam Republic should exist. After all, they willingly gave up land, people and resources for the sole reason of peace.

Be careful, China. We may be Chinese, but we're not a tool to be used for further conquest, we're not a chew toy you can mock .
 
the Roman Empire would like to point out that Manchuria isn't Han. its Manchu.
 
The Gangnam Republic would like to point out we granted semi-independence to the Han region, not mentioning Manchuria at all. The Manchurian population has already been assimilated into Gangnam culture and nobody has any right to claim it as theirs except the Gangnam Republic.

Also, the Gangnam Republic is not pleased to hear that China beleives our regime is " violent and dictatorial" We're not at all like that. We are a democratical nation that does everything to fulfill the needs of the people. Also, Manchurians don't live in Han China.

Furthermore, this is a map of the Gangnam regions that will be ceded to the newly-formed Han nation. (in purple)

SALISBURY DAILY
Election Special
"Africa's finest news source"
The Government of New Rhodesia has called for new elections for parliament and in this light the Salisbury Daily is proud to give you a list of the only parties worth considering!
Note that on the election ballots, there will be an abbreviation for the party. This is listed next to the actual name.
Rhodesian Liberal Party (LIB)
3MK5VUt.png

The Rhodesian Liberal party is the currently largest opposition party and that of the former government. They're a conservative party, and that's really it. Of course, they're also responsible for the scuffle with the Platonics.
Platonic Party of Rhodesia (PPR)
BEYgVkX.png

They're Platonic. I don't think we have anything other to say. Of course, they still support democracy, but will probably add more Platonic values and Greek culture to Rhodesia.
Rhodesian Communist Party (RCP)
2eGkVpK.png

As a communist party we can't guarantee we'll ever be able to write things here again. Not the editor's favorite, but eh. This might also mean an end to Indonesian investment.
Rhodesian Front (ROF)
iX16jeU.png

Nationalistic jingoistic potentially fascist party. This could mean a lot of difference, which needless to say nobody likes.
South African Unionists (SAU*)
BqmRYKe.png

Current ruling party. Vote for them and see no difference whatsoever.
 
From: Japan
To: Gangam


The Chinese will never accept your offer. They want Manchuria and they will take it, either now or after the war. The Chinese have insulted you more than once. So, why do you not accept the hep of your ally, Japan, who had helped you again and again. We never demanded any territory from you (aside from one city, Beijing) and always helped you, while the Chinese want to take over all of your nation and have insulted you again and again.
 
To: Japan
From: Gangnam

First, you never helped me.
Second, what's wrong with them claiming what was once theirs?
Third, we're at war.
**** you.

~ President Je Sung

PS: Leave China at once.
 
Quick reminder from the GM

All wars must be declared in thread publicly

Not pointing any faces or naming any names

Spoiler :
Though potentially it involves Greece and Japan.


Also this is the PINK FLUFFY ORDERS LOCK
 
OOC: Ail, you have already be beaten once. Do you want to be beaten again?
 
OOC: Ail, you have already be beaten once. Do you want to be beaten again?

Actually, that was our fault. we tried to talk them into war against Japan, to support Rome, but they chickened out at the last moment due to UAR interference. we are kinda miffed with both of them.
