the nation of south greece completes the expansions



the Emperor of the Greeks, Alexios I Mexatas has declared that the Greek expansion should be completed.

however, the senate (especially the nationalists) thinks that he could easily take over the other greek holdings, and eventually turkish ones. its up to him to decide if they should do so.

Wait, why does Thrace have only 10 credit chips to spend after we expanded to 5 more provinces (and ordered to bank one from last turn)?

Edit: Also, Thrace has only 2 armies listed despite ordering to train a third one. In the name of Islamic Socialism we ask:

 

[Gurra09]

Islamic Socialist Republic of Thrace (2011)
Use 3 armies for expansion.
Spend 10 CC on expansion.
Spend 6 CC on training two more armies.

Thrace expands into Anatolia
By executive order from Prime Minister Elif Yıldırım, the Marmara Region has been officially established in the newly incorporated Anatolian provinces of Thrace. May Allah protect us and bring peace.

Operation Green Flag succeeds; Cyprus united under Islamic Socialism
The People's Armed Forces have successfully re-established order on the island of Cyprus, and brought it under one united banner once again. The Islamic Socialist Republic of Thrace is a multinational state of Turks, Greeks and Bulgarians, and so there is no nation more equipped than ours to treat both Greek and Turk Cypriots fairly under our socialist system. May Allah protect the people of Cyprus and bring eternal peace to their island.

Aegean Region established under leadership of Thracian admiral
While reports on Operation Green Flag have focused on Cyprus, it shall be known that Admiral Alexandros Xanthopolous has commanded the Thracian Navy in a swift take-over of Rhodes and the Aegean Islands as part of the now concluded campaign. He has been instated as Governor of the Aegean Region, and will take a leading role in integrating the islands under Thracian administration. May Allah protect him and bring peace.

Edit: The expansion map in this post is slightly outdated due to some events in the posts below. An updated expansion map can be found further down on this page.

the Emperor notes that he, and the rest of the leadership, are from Cyprus originally, but moved to greece for better world representation.

Because of that, and the fact that Cyprus now under Thracian control, we have no choice but to drop our claims to all of Cyprus.

But... the Emperor wants unlimited visitation rights to Cyprus. it was his home, after all.

 

[Gurra09]

The Islamic Socialist Republic of Thrace is thankful that the Kingdom of Greece is not contesting the outcome of Operation Green Flag. All exiled Cypriots are free to return to the island of Cyprus as long as they abide by the laws of Thrace. May Allah protect us and bring peace to our nations.

Greece revolts!

the people of Greece, tired of being ruled by a bunch of people who are not actually from greece, decided to kick out Emepror Alexios I Mexatas and the rest of the leadership. fortunately, the greeks provided them with a single military ship to take them to Cyprus. the now ex Emperor and his retinue was welcomed by the natives, and they are happy because they finally got home.

it is unknown what happened to Greece after the bloodless revolution.

 

[Gurra09]

With assent from President İbrahim Çelik, the Grand National Assembly of Thrace has approved legislation establishing an independent United Republic of Cyprus on the island of Cyprus, with Andreas Baros and Asuman Akan of the Communist Party of Cyprus as the united republic's first President and Prime Minister. A constitution similar to that of the Islamic Socialist Republic of Thrace has been adopted, and a Cypriot National Assembly with 100 seats has been established. The President of Thrace appoints 10 MPs, the President of Cyprus appoints 40 MPs, and the people of Cyprus elect the remaining 50 in free elections where no parties are banned from participating.

The 10 seats appointed by the President of Thrace are all given to Cypriot members of the People's Islamic Democratic Party.


OOC note: Math will be playing the United Republic of Cyprus instead of Greece because he likes Cyprus apparently.

 

[Mathalamus]

United Republic of Cyprus



Capital: Nicosia
population: 1,141,166
ethnic groups: 80% greek, 20% turkish
Political system: Democratic Republic

the New president of Cyprus, Andreas Baros, and the new turkish prime minister, Asuman Akkan, head of the communist party of Cyprus, will now rule the nation.

Cypriot parties

(note: 80% of the senate are greek, 20% of Turkish)

Communist Party of Cyprus: 50 seats (ruling party)
Liberal Party of Cyprus: 30 seats
Conservative party of Cyprus: 5 seats
Nationalist Party of Cyprus: 5 seats
People's Islamic Democratic Party: 10 seats (all appointed from Thrace)

the nation of Cyprus is dedicated to peace and prosperity. although it is an Thracian Vassal, Cyprus essentially govern itself with little oversight from Thrace. of note, however, is the strong liberal opposition. the Communists would have to cooperate with them to govern effectively, as many actions require 66% of the vote.

the Emperor, Alexios I Mexatas has declined to join the Communist party, and hence, cannot rule Cyprus. he wanted to retire from the job, anyway, so its no big loss.

Banking all the credits

 

[Gurra09]

Since day-to-day administration of Cyprus was so quickly transferred to the Cypriot National Assembly, the 1st and 3rd Divisions of the People's Armed Forces have instead changed their focus to the Anatolian coast.

- President Jiang Dong​

After the sudden death of the Emperor in a nuclear terrorist attack, the Ming Empire has been dissolved as the last Emperor left no heir to succeed him. Leading officials and businessmen have met and proclaimed the establishment of the "Republic of China". The new Republic is a Presidential one and the legislative body is the Senate, which has 300 members.

The first elections have been held and the results were a landslide victory of the Conservative Party.

Party | Seats | Voting Percentage Conservative Party |156|52%
Democratic Party |138|46%
Monarchist Party |6|2%

As such, the first President of the Republic is Conservative nominee Jiang Dong. A staunch conservative, he has promised to cut taxes and public spending and minimize the government ("The government is not the solution", he said in one of his election rallies, "it is the problem), increase military spending, waterboard suspected terrorists, strictly enforce law and order, deport illegal immigrants from Vietnam and instil Confucian values in public education.

Cairo, 18:23 24th February 2011

A proposal for Near East Cooperation was proposed by the Ambassador from Thrace. After receiving the agreement from the Babylonian and Egyptian parties it was singed by the heads of state of the respective governments this afternoon.

(c) a Thracian sphere of influence comprising of the Aegean Islands, Anatolia, Crete, Cyprus, Eastern Macedonia, and Thrace.
​

2. The signatories to this treaty will become founding members of the Organization for Cooperation in the Near East (OCNE), an intergovernmental forum for discussion and negotiation on diplomatic matters concerning the Near East region.

(a) The Islamic Socialist Republic of Thrace will speak on behalf of the United Republic of Cyprus within the OCNE. In matters directly concerning Cyprus and the Cypriot people, the Government of Cyprus must be consulted.
​

3. Any intervention or expansion in the Near East region without the consent of all signatories to this treaty is deemed as an act of aggression, and will be considered a declaration of war against all signatories to this treaty unless an immediate withdrawal occurs.

​

5. The provisions of this treaty are permanent, and can only be annulled if all signatories consent to it.

[Gurra09]

Due to an unfortunate error, there are some discrepancies in the announcement made by the Cairene delegation at the recent Cairo Conference. We are very sorry for that as the fault is just as much ours as it is theirs.

To make it clear, the definition of the Near East region that has been agreed to by all three parties is the one you can see on the map (in green, green and gray) - not the one written in the copy of the treaty posted above. The wording of clause 1 will be sorted out when we can get hold of a Cairene diplomat authorized to modify their announcement.

Our government will officially sign the Treaty of Cairo when this has been corrected. May Allah protect us and bring peace.
