Current Events in Ukraine

• The Australian Evacuation Campaign is continuing, buth approximately 2000 of the estimated 30000 remaining human Australians being safely moved into Ukraine. Although many have stayed in Odessa, some, faced with issues such as housing, have volunteered to settle into the largely depopulated areas of Donbass and the less radioactive areas of Polesia. Others have joined the army, forming the loose "Australian Host" of approximately 400 soldiers under the command of Hetman Henry Turner.
• Galicia has been fully incorporated into the Hetmanate. The new Galician Host currently consists of about 1700 soldiers and has its capital at Lviv. Although the annexation of Galicia has largely carried out in a peaceful and civil fashion, Ataman Serhiy Antonko of the 3rd Polesian Mechanized Battalion has been sentenced for life for war crimes during the capture of the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, including looting, the abuse of civilians and others.
• The development of Donbass is largely successful at this stage. Many people have volunteered to clean up the pollution that has largely ravaged the urban areas of the region. In addition, some 700 have begun to move into formerly abandoned cities, mainly migrant Australians but also people of many other nationalities, Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, the Polish and Crimean Tartars being the main ones. The largest growing city in Donbass (and the rest of the Hetmanate, for that matter) is Donetsk.
• The Union of Eastern Europe has been formed between the Hetmanate and the Black Sea Nation. According to the Sevastopol Accord drafted in Febuary 5th, Ukraine and the BSN will share the same currency, the Universal Hryvnia. In addition, there will be a Multinational Council based on Rostov that will be in charge of maintaining affairs between the two nations.

[spaceman98]

Orders:
Puppet Mexico
Put half of the remaining LP rounding up into armies and the rest into infrastructure.

Claims: My Claims in Orange. Ignore the Yellow.
Orders for all puppets: All into armies.
If these claims conflict with anyone elses, change them one province North. If that is not possible, 1 North East.



Fearing the growing power of the Great Plains Alliance, the generals in the south of the midwest attacked Oklahoma. Our great millitary outflanked them, led by Chief Black Crow, working together with Oklahoma militia. The enemy forces were surrounded, with small Oklahoma militias in front of them and our mounted cavalry and tanks behind them. Their forces, despite being larger than ours were thus defeated. Seeing our victory, Mexico joined the Great Planes Alliance on simmilar terms as Oklahoma in order to gain protection in case of attack by a foregin power.


We also wish to extend diplomatic recognition to California, as long as you respect the ways of Native Americans in your land.

Chief Black Crow recognizes that one of the biggest obsticles to restoring native ways is the decimation caused by the old American Government to the plains fauna. We are considering inviting experts from Australia to state their oppinions on solving the problem. We also request that Australia respect the way of life of the Australian Aborigional people, since their history is similar to ours and in some way, that of the Republic of Antpode Fauna its self.

We request Australia responds to this notice.

 

[Sonereal]

NPCs can't claim.

 

[SouthernKing]

31 EP into infrastructure
5 random claims

 

[momo1000]

We request Australia responds to this notice.

The RAF is much obliged to spread the goodwill of the Revolution, though it should be noted the beasts of North America are not from our dimension, and therefor lack much of the brainpower and skill gifted to the Fauna of the Antipodes.

Also, I claimed Tasmania but it's not on the map!

[Mad Man]

The Empire of the DMV Spends all of its LP on air wings and we conquer the rest of Ireland, Isle of Mann, and a random Cape Verde island. RP to come shortly.

Excerpt from the Diary of Alexander Nape, Leader of the New Guinea Animal Militia:

Slowly, the human soldiers snuck through the jungle. To call them soldiers was to do them an undeserved justice. These were not soldiers, but butchers and murderers, drunken hotshots from the nearby village brought out by cockiness and greed. Yesterday, I personally witnessed their leader shoot three parakeets right out of their nests for target practice! As if those brave birds were merely clay disks, toys of a grownup child. I sent Robert Toulouse, a monkey, up the tree to retrieve their orphaned young, but alas, the same bird that had cared so tenderly for her young now lay open them, the force from the bullet cracking the precious eggs. Today we will get our justice. They approach, as silent as they can. Which, of course, is as silent as an elephant. Fools. They underestimate us. They do not understand, since the Joining of the Worlds that we, the Chosen Fauna, have been gifted, and so are now equal to these humans. Nay, we are superior to these barbarians who call themselves "Homo Sapien", as if they believed they were the same. I have never seen two humans with different markings get along. The hypocrites. They approach. It is time for our trap. Today we will get our justice.​

ANN (Animal News Network):
BREAKING NEWS! PM HOPS HAS BEEN SHOT! At 4:03 PM today, while meeting with iron miners in Newton, Western Australia, PM Hops was shot at by a mysterious black van. Thankfully, the Leader of the Revolution was merely shot in the tail, a painful but not fatal injury. Immediately after the shooting, the Aquiline Divisions were scrambled, and the mysterious truck discovered, near Lake Disappointment. Immediate action was ordered and the truck intercepted, with three eagles dying. The truck was revealed to be driven by humans, who after being captured by The RAF Army and interrogated, are believed to be part of the human terrorist group the Free Men of Australia (FMA). FMA shortly released a tape, showing their leader, Henry Monroe, taking responsibility for the terror attacks. Currently, Western Australia is under martial law as RAF Forces attempt to discover the lair of the terrorists. All humans travel has been halted, including the Ukrainian Exodus. Any humans found attempting to travel internationally or between cities will be arrested and interrogated. And now, Kermit with the weather!

RAF Orders:
39 LP
Spend 20 LP on Infrastructure
Spend 9 LP adding NZ to SoI
Spend 10 LP on Squadrons
Claims are to continue the violent occupa-- I mean peaceful expansion into New Guinea:

 

[Verarde]

35 LPs into Infrastructure
Expand to 5 random territories along the cost of China

(reason I am asking you to expand for me randomly is because the map is a .jpg, and I can't use the paint can to fill it in auto; please put up a .png version of the map, and I will edit this post to do so.)


RP to come later tonight. (I'm realizing that RPing can help. A lot.)

 

[BigTin]

25 LP into Infrastructure
10 LP into Air Wings
5 LP into Naval Formations off coast of Argentina
Claim 5 terriotories shown below.

Mozambique: All 11 LP into Divisions



Another year had passed and Shaka Nmanda came out to survey his nation once again. He sees that all of previous orders had gone well, with two extra factories being built along the two he ordered. Also, out west, the colonies of Argentina were prospering, so Shaka decided to send 5 more settling parties over to claim more land for the PSEDZ. With his northern border now secure, Shaka orders for 5 more naval squadrons, and 10 Air Wings to help keep the PSEDZ peaceful. Shaka has his puppet leader and brother, Zara Nmanda, construct 11 divisions in Mozambque to protect their borders.

The only concern that troubled Shaka was the lack of trade his country was facing. He decides to offer a trade proposal starting next year to all countries in the southern hemisphere, excluding the RAF, which Shaka does not recognize. The terms will be 5 LP in every year.

Throughout PSEDZ, the people were happy. The Johannesburg Ruckers had won the Rugby Bowl the past year, causing mass celebrations, while the Capetown Gowns, a female girlband, was sweeping the nation with their romantic pop music. Life was good and peaceful throughout the country.

 

[Mosher]

Build a bunch of divisions. And claim some land in France.

 

[Optical]

All LP into armies
Claims: Cambodia and the most southern part of Vietnam

The Omsk Times​

I Feel Another Purge Coming on

Khenbish Medekhgüi has been hinting lately at executing another glorious purge of the political system. That's right folks, its that time of year again, purge season! Sit back and watch the show, as millions come in for annual questioning and random killings are applauded by the general public! In response to treacherous criticizm, the eternal equalizer and very handsome, Khenbish Medekhgüi, has stated with conviction

"The last purge, the one to end all capitalism and evil in this country, was a smash sucess. This purge is just...cleaning up the leftovers. Clearly this purge is neccessary, or there would not be criticism of it!"

As always, our great Khenbish Medekhgüi presents his point eloquently with charisma. All hail the People's Chosen! Well, all who aren't going to get killed by this next purge anyway.

We're Not Behind, Everybody Else is Just too Far Ahead

In response to other nations pushing the GRU out of the leading nations in infrastructure, the state has decided to push back, HARDER. After that they will metaphorically knock them into their locker and beat the crap out of them! The great Khenbish Medekhugui has ordered all LP's into developing infrastructure.

This Land is my Land, this Land your Land...but Mostly Just the Premier's Land

Spoiler :

The premier has spread the revolution into another formerly desolate corner of the world. The GRU's military ranks are expected to see a jump in numbers this month as a result of the new recruitment in this region. The prisoner numbers are likely to see a simmilar trend.

NOTE: This newspaper is run by the State Deparment of Public Propoganda. A deparment known for its conservative slant. The information in this paper is not to be trusted. The writer of the second article has been executed for mispelling our great ruler's name. However, since it had already gone into print, and no one actually reads the newspaper anymore, we at the Department of GRU Censorship have allowed this to be published.

From the journals of Ryo Rida, the fourth president of the United Federation of Japan:

October 7, Year 23 of our glorious Federation.

The times are well for our land. Our expansion upon the Chinese coastline has been met with little to no resistance, and we continue to expand south and west along the coastline. My generals expect this to be a helpful boost to our economy.

On the subject of our economy, I will say little, as I am a man of few words. But I have asked my advisers to focus on building infrastructure this year. More than 90& of our income this year will be focused on that, while the remainder will be stored for future use.

I looked over the figures of our troop count this morning. There seems to be no shortage of volunteers for our armies. I call it Divine Providence that we are not at war with anybody currently, my advisers chalk it more up to luck. We have committed no aggressive actions towards anybody, although I will say that the Koreans and those Siberians seem to be building up their troops at our borders. I must take care that they do not make any "sudden" moves. Perhaps it would be wiser to take action before they do...

But I digress. It has been a wonderful year here in our Federation. Culture has been booming, and a great many artists are gathering in Ancient Kyoto this afternoon for an art show, which I must attend. I would rather be listening to the new Plastic Paperclips album, but my wife can charm me into attending anything with her.

Next year will be my final year in office. As you well know, our presidents serve 6 years. I have a worrying feeling about Chi Tatakau, my rival from the opposition. His aggressive tendencies may not serve our Federation well. We shall see.

It has been a great tradition of the presidents so far to write these journals, in the hopes that historians of later years will read them, and understand the great, yet welcome, burden upon being the leader of such a wonderful country.

As always, yours faithfully,

Ryo Rida, Fourth President of the United Federation of Japan

@Sonereal: what's "one free annex"?

 

[Optical]

IIRC annexes are claims.

EDIT: nevermind, see below.

 

[Sonereal]

@Sonereal: what's "one free annex"?

I meant "50% off Annexing". It means it'll only cost half as much to annex an NPC (and you can do this on any turn, unlike the other 50% off RP gifts)

 

[Verarde]

Ooo, lucky.

 

[Sonereal]

Ooo, lucky.

Mainly did it because annexing is so expensive, even half off, that forcing it to be used the same turn like a cheaper action like puppeting that it would sorta act as a punishment.
