Chamber of Progress Ratifies Hover Project 33-30!

Today, the Arctican Chamber of Progress ratified participation with the Gethic Hand in the development of new Hovercrafts. The vote was supported by most Progressives and the Cold Supremacists, and strongly opposed by the Internals and the Isolationists. Despite some defections from the Progressives, the vote managed to pass narrowly thanks to the support of the Cold Supremacists. In a surprising turn of events, the radical Cold Supremacist John Getnis was chosen nearly unanimously to be one of the scientists for the project; the opposition probably supported his nomination to politically remove him from the Chamber of Progress. Chosen also to represent Arctica was the moderate progressive Upton Cambiers, probably to counterbalance Getnis' radical views.

Culture in The NKU​

An Excerpt from an Official Gov't Report by Bjorn Eriksson​

There are 3 broad classes within the NKU, the Högsta, the mittbit and the Vanliga. Since the Restoration of the Monarchy, the Högsta have rapidly rose as the nobles. Most, if not all members of the Högsta have noble titles given by the King. The Högsta are the rich, the highest of the high. However they don't have special privileges unlike previous noble orders.
The mittibit are the middle class. This is actually the most populous class. Merchants, white-collar workers and the average Kalmarian citizen are all found here.
The Vanliga are the poor, the huddled masses. This is the second most populous class. We are trying to reduce the numbers of Vanliga via welfare and education.

Cabinet Secretary's Report


​

Cabinet OfficeThe Cabinet Office has little to report with party politics reaming stable at the current time. Cabinet meetings have been smooth and no new appointments have been made.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office The office reports that despite conflicts with Persia and the Tamils of Ceylon the re-introduction of India is coming along at a pace. With Gujarat established as the provisional capital of the British Raj trade is once again flowing between our two great nations. In other news the Office reports that the current Government is represented in both parties in The International Socialist Council. This has strengthened our bonds with some politically similar nations across the world.

Home Office [Redacted by the authority of His Majesty the King]

Ministry of Defence The MoD reports that the training of our new military is proceeding well with assistance from the clergy and Parish Councils. Research is being conducted into the possibility of employing [Redacted by the authority of the Monastic Administration Office]

His Majesty's Treasury The treasury reports that the addition of Gujarat to the United Kingdom may initially have a high cost but in the end is going to be proven a very sound investment. Already trade and goods are passing through the seas as in Empire Days. This policy of expansion though costly in the short term could provide long term benefits to the state of the treasury.

Monastic Administration Office [Redacted by the authority of the Monastic Administration Office]

Parish Work Authority In the past few months the Parish Work Authority has begun in association with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to divide up the British Raj into proper Parishes, missionary work has already commenced and the goal of winning the hearts and minds of the people of India is of paramount importance.

Department for Education Schooling in India has been the main concern of the Department of Education. As of yet there are no established monasteries or state schools so a whole new infrastructure will have to be established. Studies are beginning with the assistance of the PWA and Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Department for Work and Pensions A new system has been suggested for the transitionary period in India while the PWA asserts itself. This is currently being implemented in order to facilitate a smooth transition from anarchy to a state controlled economy.

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Rural India is massively underdeveloped and this is where the Department's main efforts are going to be focused. Food should not be in short supply and we can potentially begin a transition in India to more lucrative crops. However it is certain that the underdeveloped nature of these areas mean that much will have to be expended to make progress.

Department for International Development [Redacted by the authority of His Majesty the King] also efforts are being made in the areas outside of the British Raj to develop these areas in the hopes of easing the transition to the British economic model.

Department for Transport New train lines are being scheduled for construction in India in order to spread out the development and allow for better infrastructure. Much use is being made of the old Railways that were established by the UK during the reign of Victoria.

Department of Energy and Climate Change Professor Matthew Phillips continues to suggest that we put pressure on the European treaty to include Environmental Sustainability clauses.

Department of Health Since the beginning of the British re-introduction of India it has become clear that the health problems faced there are major and much of the department's resources are going to be assigned to these issues in the coming years.

Ministry of Justice The Clerk of the Crown in Chancery reports that another case about the rights of the non-normals (or as other nations continue to refer to them "supers") the MoJ is proceeding with caution as this case could have significant political ramifications.

Byzantine Emperor Cancels the selling of Constantinople

basically, huge protests has sprung up, and he was forced to cancel the selling of Constantinople to Yugoslavia.

this might mean war against them, but Constantinople is ours.

meanwhile, the Roman Military has been rumored to be mobilizing for a possible war.

The Eastern Romans no longer selling their capital: a smart move. Vancore respects this.

The United Commonwealth’s superhuman census form is used to provide for the health and safety of the superhuman populace as well as to protect other people from them. It faced many critics, similar to Korea’s registration system, but for people like NERO-Beta Leader Jacob Frink he knew how important it was.

The first example that came to Jacob’s mind was Rodger McMullan. Rodger has an ability to make tiny sparks in his mouth, additionally he is fireproof. Sounds harmless right? It was, as long as he avoided flammable food and drink. Unfortunately for the city of Christchurch, Rodger is an alcoholic. While the people are sitting in their houses, nice and safe. But when you were a civilian running in a blind panic away from a madman with a flamethrower mouth, you are incredibly happy that the people who have got your back know exactly what is going on.

Fire-breathing alcoholics was all part of a normal Tuesday evening for Jacob. As he sat in the helicopter nervously checking his watch, mentally preparing himself for the situation. Amivi and Lowanna were preparing themselves too, Lowanna softly mumbled the lyrics to some sappy pop song that she was listening to while doing a dance in her seat while Amivi vaguely stared out into space. Different people, different ways of preparing themselves for utter chaos.

“One minute to drop site.” said the pilot over the communicator. Everyone started doing their last minute checks and put their masks on.

“Any intel for us boss?” asked Lowanna.

“No,” replied Jacob, “Not yet.” The hatch opened and NERO-Beta walked out, ready to fire at their stun darts at the suspect.

“…that’s right, run you cowards!” shouted Rodger McMullan. In one hand he was holding a bottle of Vodka and the other arm he had around some poor woman’s neck, ready to break. Rodger had a swig of Vodka and let out an almighty fireball.

“That’s right, I’m a bloody Dragon!” continued Rodger “I’m a bloody god! And I’m going to get your mothers and then I’m going to…” Rodger just noticed NERO-Beta running towards him.

“Get back you pigs!” He screamed. Amivi fired off one of her darts, but it was too late, Rodger tightened the grip around the poor woman’s neck and Jacob heard a nasty crack, barely a second before the dart hit Rodger straight in the chest.

“God dammit!” shouted Lowanna, as she pulled of her mask and threw it to the ground. “She’s dead!” Rodger closed his eyes, cleared his head and then concentrated heavily. He was back in the chopper, looking at his timepiece.

“One minute to drop site.” said the pilot over the communicator, again. Well, it was the first time for the pilot. Time travel is confusing, even if it was only about a minute earlier.

“Any intel for us boss?” asked Lowanna.

“Yeah,” replied Jacob “The suspect has a hostage, seems to have a thing about policemen. Lowanna, give him a hallucination after he says he’s a God.”

“Sure thing boss,” replied Lowanna “Damn, that’s a scummy thing to do. Taking a hostage I mean.”

“We don’t get called in to arrest nice people Dreamy.” said Amivi as she undid the safety on her weapon.

“True,” said Lowanna “But still.” NERO-Beta, for a second time (well, kind of) went out onto the streets of Christchurch.

“…that’s right, run you cowards!” shouted Rodger McMullan, in the same exact situation. “That’s right, I’m a bloody Dragon I’m a bloody god! And I’m going to…wait, wait stay back you pigs!” Rodger, facing the other direction, was obviously responding to one of Lowanna’s hallucinations.

Jacob was about to signal to move forward when he tasted rotten potatoes in his mouth. For a few seconds his mind recoiled in terror as he knew exactly what that signalled. Jacob collapsed backwards onto the pavement and started failing about, having a seizure during a mission wasn’t exactly Jacob’s idea of a fun time.

Lowanna signalled for Amivi to take Jacob back to the chopper, Amivi picked Jacob up with one arm and ran back.

“That’s right put your guns down!” shouted Rodger “Take that you pigs! This is my city now…” Rodger was about to continue ranting, but he was interrupted by Lowanna placing her hand on his shoulder, sending him into a deep sleep.

“Sssh…” said Lowanna “Only dreams now.” At the same time, Jacob finally stopped seizing and he passed out too.

Richard Swift stood over the sleeping agent with his usual intimidating presence. If he were anyone else, he would have been asked to wait. But one does not simply tell the Chief of the Commonwealth Armed Forces that it wasn’t visiting hours.

The TV blared in the background, talking about the recent scandal. Weng had finally had enough of Henderson and had left the party, taking the entirety of her faction with her to form her own party. This left Australia with two parties, neither of them having a particularly legitimate claim to being the successor to O’Neil’s administration, which paved the way for a healthy two-party democratic system. Just like blighter would want, thought Richard fondly.

“Si…s-sir!” said Jacob as he groggily tried to salute his commander.

“At ease Major.” said Richard forcefully. “This is the third time an incident of this scale has occurred. I’ve heard the doctor’s reports, if you continue on like this you will be a danger to yourself and your team. Miss Williams is being promoted to Major and Captain Elton will be taking your place as the team’s Recon.”

“But…” said Jacob “But Elton is a cripple.”

“Which is why the Research division has designed an augmentation suit just for him.” said Richard, as he approached Jacob “His abilities to detect electricity for a distance outweigh his shortcomings, while your abilities no longer outweigh yours.” Jacob looked despondent, there was no way to avoid his seizures, they would “follow” him even if he jumped back in time.

“Am I being discharged sir?” said Jacob in a hurt tone.

“Of course not,” said Richard, as he pulled out a box and showed them to Jacob. They contained the insignia of a Colonel. “Much the opposite in fact. While you may not be fit for a field position anymore, Colonel, you are the perfect man for another project I had in mind. We are expanding the NERO program, you are going to be undertaking the training of the fine young men and women who will form NERO-Gamma.”

“How young are we talking sir?” asked Jacob.

“Teenagers.” replied Richard. Jacob laughed.

“Well, I always wanted to be a school teacher before the Invasion.” said Jacob. Richard smiled.

“We all got mixed about after that god-awful time,” said Richard as he pulled out a couple of manila folders and dropped it on Jacob’s bed. “But sometimes life has a way of giving back. Read up, I’ll expect you on your feet in a week Colonel.”

****************​

Nathan Aksakov excitedly got off the bus at the bus stop nearby his house. He had just gotten Hearts of Iron V directly of the shelves and he was highly excited. World War Two was his favourite part of history, it was a time where heroes fought villains and good triumphed over evil. And, unlike the Invasion, it was PC to make a game based around it. Nathan couldn’t wait until he got home, he was going to put it in and play as America, or maybe even Canada, and direct Major Howitzer to beat the snot out of those Nazi Fur Monsters. Nathan gleefully skipped around the corner until he came face-to-face with Jessica and her gang.

“Hurr hurr hurr,” laughed Jessica “What you got there little Natalia?” Jessica was a horrible bully that made Nathan revise his code to never hit a girl, although most of the girls at his school could beat the living daylights out of him. Jessica was a real nasty piece of work, she seemed more akin to a stereotypical male bully than a female one, she and the two dweebs that followed her around all the time (Nathan referred to them as Fatso and Lanky in private) would harass all the nerdy male students. Also she would refer to them all as female, which was really embarrassing.

“Can we not?” asked Nathan, but Jessica just did her awful laugh again. Lanky snatched the game out of Nathan’s hand, as Fatso restrained him.

“I know this game,” said Lanky “It’s the one where you play as the Nazis.”

“NO IT ISN’T!” shouted Nathan as he feebly tried to escape Fatso’s grip.

“Hurr hurr,” laughed Jessica “Looks like our Natalia is a Neo-Nazi. I wonder, do you wet your bed to thoughts of sucking off Von Fertig?” The three of them laughed.

“Shut up!” screamed Nathan “You’re the Von Fertig here!”

“Hurr,” laughed Jessica again “Looks like Natalia wants to get slapped hella mad.” Jessica cracked her knuckles. Nathan would have been scared if he wasn’t so angry, this was meant to be HIS day. HoIV was his favourite pastime, it was as close as he was going to get to being a real hero fighting off the bad guys. He didn’t even play the hero in the game, he was just playing as the good guys, that was enough. And then Jessica had to come along and make HIM the villain, that made Nathan so mad.

Suddenly, Nathan was behind Jessica. Even stranger, another Nathan right in front of Jessica was being held by Lanky and Fatso. Lanky and Fatso, upon realizing that there were suddenly two Nathans, dropped the Nathan that they were holding, the terrible trio were suddenly quite confused.

“Hey!” shouted the other Nathan “Maybe we’ve got some sort of cloning power!”

“Why don’t we see if we can do it again?” said the second Nathan

“Great idea!” Both of the Nathans concentrated and then suddenly there were four Nathans.

“Awesome, I’m a super!” said all four Nathans at once.
“It’s-it is okay boys” said Jessica nervously. “We can still take these four pipsqueaks.” The Nathans concentrated again and then there were eight of them, encircling the bullies.

“But can you take eight?” asked one of the Nathans.

“Don’t think so!” said another.

“Alright,” said a third one “You’re going to drop that game and then you’re going to leave.”

“And if I,” said a fourth “Well, we, catch you doing something like this again, well I think you can guess what is going to happen.” Lanky dropped the game on the ground and the three bullies sped away.

“And remember, it’s Nathan!” shouted one of the Nathans “Not Natalia!” One of the other Nathans picked up the game.

“It’s undamaged.” He said after inspecting it. “This is so bloody awesome.”

“Although it might be a bit hard for mum to feed the eight of us…” said one of the other Nathans.

“Why don’t we see if we can unsummon ourselves?” asked another Nathan. The Nathans murmured in agreement and then the concentrated on unsummoning themselves. Then they all disappeared, leaving one single Nathan holding his copy of HoIV. The memories of all the other Nathans came flooding back into his head, which was a confusing experience to say the least.

“This is really weird,” said Nathan “But really cool.” He walked home, with renewed excitement.

Byzantine Emperor Cancels the selling of Constantinople

basically, huge protests has sprung up, and he was forced to cancel the selling of Constantinople to Yugoslavia.

this might mean war against them, but Constantinople is ours.

meanwhile, the Roman Military has been rumored to be mobilizing for a possible war.

There are already 40,000 soldiers and 100 Tanks in Constantinople (OOC: You accepted this in your RP), while your population, army and government have moved to Ankara (OOC: You have also accepted this in your RP quite a lot of times, and if you say that this did not happen, I will contact KE for powergaming).

Those troops are hereby ordered to arrest any remaining Romans and fortify in the region. Eastern Thrace is declared to be under Martial Law.

Also, Operation Condor shall begin: The entire Yugoslav Air Force shall bombard with 300,000 tons of Napalm bombs Smyrna, 400,000 Ankara and 400,000 all the rest of Western Minor Asia. Civilians will not be differentiated from soldiers.

The laboratory lights flickered on.
And Darrel Boothman walked in, holding in his hand a strange contraption. It flickered, went blue and then green and then red and back again, and was trembling. Darrel felt uncomfortable just being near it, it made him feel like something big and menacing was standing behind him.
Now Darrel was not incorrect in this assumption, as there was indeed a massive humanoid object staring him down.
And working on the contraption was Andrew, his assistant.
"Hello, boss, do you have the core?"
"I do, actually. do you think we can clear the area in time for any potential errors in judgement and ridiculous firebombing?"
"Mhm."
Darren carefully placed the core in the centre of the construct.
It whirred a bit.

Realistically speaking moving that many people around takes a long time. it shouldn't have been expected to happen in one turn. Generally speaking retconning is not power gaming; it is his nation afterall.

Officially, Russia condemns Yugoslavia for its unwarranted aggression and will see that the international powers that be act accordingly to it.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Gethic Hand will not condemn the liberation of Turkey from the forces of chaos as long as civilians are not targeted; we suggest the "Roman" government start opening diplomatic channels with Yugoslavia about a possible surrender as a means to avoid bloodshed, for Vancore is a peaceful soul which does not desire to witness such brutality. We are sending medical and food supplies to the Balkans for distribution in the aftermath of the war. If Rome does not surrender we will be prepared to sent special forces to aid the Yugoslavs in decreasing the time of the war. We cannot afford the Romans to cause death of Turkish civilians.

 

[Terran Empress]

In light of the recent hostilities and threats of war.

I, King Mohammed VI, declare the closure of the Mediterranean by the Strait of Gibraltar.

All ships coming into or out of the Mediterranean will go be forced to go through a Maghrebi blockade and all ships will be checked and searched, any ship that does not comply with the rules set forth for ships to move through will be turned away. If they do not leave they will be fired upon and destroyed.

(rules will be set forth later when i have more time)

[Ailedhoo]

From: Yugoslavia

We would like to officially offer you a military alliance.

To the government of Yugoslavia.

All orderly nations must unite! Though King Mohammed VI stands against you it must be stated that you are indeed strong! We will encourage Egypt to maintain the Suez Canal open, while setting a cargo ship to you with a few models of our latest war vehicle, the Assault Rover. We tested it in Vanornia; fast re-con and attack vehicle armed with machine gun and missiles. We suggest you use it to help conduct hit and run efforts to aid your combat performance. Along with the assault rover we will also supply you industrial supplies and a team of 25 tactical operatives for your temporal command under the orders of Captain Vlad Gorgov. I will prey that the good Mohammed VI heeds well the strength of order and peace, for his efforts against you hinder order and peace. If the "Romans" are truly the victim then I would have rallied against Yugoslavia but all I see in Turkey is chaos bought in by a weak, pathetic sovereign who gave up his sovereignty the moment he CONSIDERED selling his capital; though he realised his sin the thought was enough to condemn him. Turkey is best hence under Yugoslavian protection. Be sure to avoid targeting civilians and this alliance is as strong as steel.

Peace and order for us all.

Yugoslavia never had any imperialistic intention towards Rome and even guaranteed it's independence. We are only acting in the interests of upholding our agreement with Rome: that is force them to surrender Constantinople on us. For we have given money, time and effort and we have signed such an agreement with the Romans. If they think that they can break deals, take the money we've given them and get away with it, they will be proved very wrong.

To Yugoslavia

The fact that the Romans considered selling your there capital has made it necessary for Turkey's liberation from the forces of chaos. Turkey lacks a sovereign; you must fill that void before a agent of destruction takes its place. The Company of the Dawn must be denied a chance to make a puppet emperor.

no. the soldiers, and most civilians still haven't evacuated. (it would have taken until the next season.) you may have 40,000 solders and 100 tanks, but we have double that, just to prevent this from happening. we did have to guard the civilians you know?

Yugoslavian soldiers were simply arrested and shoved back to Yugoslavia.

so... yeah its war, then.
