The front lines.
S.P.R.V, The VDV.

VDV soldiers hurdled up in a small camouflaged ditch take turns observing the front lines as they lay on the ground with the rifles beside them. The soldiers had become well accustomed to the constant sound of gunfire and explosion as they try to take a nap for as long as possible. Charred, burnt-out remains of a T-72 tank sat idly a few meters right of their position. Helicopters carrying air-assault units escorted by gunships flew past them heading towards the front lines. Black smoke and tracers could be seen over the horizon as the distant sound of gunfire and the smell of gunpowder filled the nostrils and the ears of the soldiers.

♪ "A soldier has an eternity in front of him, don't confuse it with old age." ♪ (Kaskad - Kukushka)

One of the soldiers muttered as a BTR-90 APC together with two UAZ-469 stopped to pick them up to head straight towards the front lines. Leaving their ditch, the soldiers split up and entered each of the vehicles as they began advancing eastward towards enemy positions.

Novoroyskian artillery has been constantly bombarding N.R.V front lines and a 22 km area behind it to drive away any artillery. The bright flashes of tracers only lighted up N.R.V which had been blacked out from gunfire and the explosion of artillery shells in the western portions. Over the last two weeks, more and more artillery has been moved into both of the front lines as thousands of soldiers arrive at the battlefield to fight against the N.R.V.

There has been a noticeable increase in airstrikes and cruise missile strikes upon N.R.V as Red Army troops doubled their ferocity and persistence in pushing N.R.V towards their capital. Raiding parties getting past the front lines through small gaps began to wreak havoc upon Veoannish supply lines as they utilized hit-and-run tactics before disengaging from the battle to reorganize, resupply, and redo this process all over on other supply lines.

As the main force advanced, large units split off into smaller units to split up the enemy force as well. Spacing the enemy force as far away from each other as possible, forces are drawn in from other units to create a concentration force before attacking one point, preferably the weakest, and crushing them there. Then on, the concentration would move to flank other enemy units from the side before joining up with other units to drive away the remaining hostile forces. This is called defeat in detail or divide and conquer, which is most suitable to be used against numerically superior enemy forces. Nearby units can fire on an attacker's flank, and lend indirect fire support such as artillery or maneuver to counterattack.

Guerilla warfare tactics are also being utilized in response to the numerical superiority of N.R.V's forces. Ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run tactics have become commonplace as smaller units harass larger units and supply lines before disengaging from the battle to resupply and reorganize before redoing the same tactics, causing massive damage to supply lines and large amounts of casualty.

"Zakharov... About that last order..." Andriy said to Zakharov over the phone.

"I want more forces deployed, as much as possible in the shortest amount of time." Andriy said as he smokes from his pipe.

"... Yes sir." Replied Zakharov before hanging up the call.

Sighing heavily, he began writing down orders and commands as he thought about how many troops and equipment could be deployed. After doing some math, he wrote down a number on his paper before calling several officers and generals about the mobilization of additional troops to the Veoannish front.

The Golden Heart
[Central Bank: The Golden Fountain, Imperial City, Taijing, Feng Dynasty]

“It has been long since I visited our mint, has it not?” Princess Rongchang tittered, walking up the stairs. Being here on official business, her robes were formal; layers upon layers of silk trailing nine feet behind her, embroidered with magnificent scenery of the Summer Palace of Donghai. Her hair was in towering buns and adorned with jewelled pagodas and gardens. Her enormous column of servants of courtiers followed as she walked up the grand steps to the palatial edifice. “I do hear that the new wing was renovated only recently?”

“Indeed it has, your eminent highness.” The Finance Minister smiled. He too was in his formal robes, with his towering ministerial headdress glimmering with jewels. “The Golden Fountain has minted and managed coin for many a dynasty. With the great and ever-rising prosperity of Imperial Feng, it is only natural for the mint to increase in its expanse as well.”

The looming doors of the mint opened and they stepped within. It was an entrance hall with ceilings taller than a nine storied pagoda. The crimson pillars were adorned with gold clouds, supporting the coffered ceiling. Enormous gold lanterns were hung as well as hanging silk banners which ran all the way to the marble patterned floor. Symbols of coin were emblazoned everywhere, from the carved walls to the banners, lamps to the floor and ceiling. It is opulence worthy of the source of all coins in the Imperial Dynasty.
“Perhaps it best I enlighten your highness of the histories of this grand edifice.” The Finance Minister swept out a hand. “It would be during the exalted midday of Qing Dynasty’s golden age as the first millennium was welcomed. ‘‘Twas Emperor Jiaqun, third Emperor of the succeeding Wei Dynasty, who gave this place its name. Before which this was simply ‘The Imperial Mint’. So named for the seemingly endless flows of gold that cane from its coffers, there was one incident a mere century ago-“

“Oh, worry not dear minister.” Rongchang gave a sweet smile. “These are all known to me already; mine imperial studies have covered the histories most progusely, and you have already told me once before after all. It is very interesting indeed….”

“Oh yes! Of course, your highness, forgive this minister.”

…in truth I care not a feather for however many dusty pages this nation has filled in history’s volumes. I can’t stand any of these long unforgiving lectures. Rongchang thought, still smiling sweetly. Espeically one from the finance minister. He’s still the only one speaking in that ‘this minister’, ‘your minister’… by Penglai, how pretentious. Just speak I like everyone else in the court and save the additional bother of working out honorifics! I have not a hint as to how Taihe puts up with the us.. “How fare our economies? Her majesty the empress has a duty to know, and though she is abroad her duty remains. Thus I come to satisfy this unyielding responsibility in her imperial steed.”

“Oh of course! This minister has guessed as much, and prepared a great scroll of tidings to report the comings and goings of coin. As per this fine year….” He pulled the scroll out of a hidden pocket, unrolled it, and cleared his throat. “As is the norm, the Fengese Imperium continued to be seated upon the lap of fortune and prosperous wealth. Our farms in the southern mainland and upon the fields of Huazheng are luxuriant and fertile, and the factories are busy as the cities modernise with the abolishment of the traditionalist decree. Our mines continue to let out its rivers of jewels, although jade and silver has decreased somewhat. Trade has also fallen some, but with the ball in Bahnreich it is most likely that it is a temporal fall. It shall rise higher than ever as….”

“Yes indeed, the hall in Bahnreich. What better chance to repair our relations with the WU than there?” Rongchang gave a soft giggle. “How wise. Oooh her majesty does love her calculations… no wonder some of the less scrupulous peoples call her the Spider.”

“Oh haha….” The Finance Minister laughed awkwardly. “Oh- this minister does bring more tidings for your highness.”

“Hmm? Do share.”

The Minister frowned. “Some rumours of a movement around the Formosa, rebel activities. The Gaoming, they call themselves, and they’re rather bent on pushing the Thengdom out of the island.”

“Mm, they’re bent on pushing all from the island. I have heard of these indeed, whether the Court can take advantage of these tidings is most unclear as I believe they’re not as… inclined to work with the Fengese. Or anyone around them for that matter. Her majesty has not been informed though, assuming her little birds haven’t twittered the news in her ears yet.”

“This minister is most curious to see how this plays out… surely at some point we must intervene? After all, these are happening at such close distances.”

“Well at the beginning of this Formosan story, we had no capability to throw out the Thengs in respects to their affiliation to the WU, but now….” Rongchang shrugged. “Ah well, time shall tell all. Meanwhile however, do let me have a peek at one of your treasure vaults once more like last time, I do so enjoy the glorious sight of a sea of shining gold.”

Public Arc: Beware the Trampled Flowers Thorns
In Despair You Fear No Death
Disputed Territory, Formosa Island, Wasaru

“Never thought I’d ever hold something like this….” Mingsun muttered, his fingers fiddling with the gun. “Do I point this to here-“

“Woah watch it young sir, you’re pointing it at yourself-“ Yexiang bent over to correct his hold, her skin coarse to the touch. “There, remember that. You’re gonna have to use it….”

Mingsun sighed. His breath was shaky and his eyes darted here and there, jumping at every shadow. They were within the darkness of a forest at night, except this forest was dead and it’s trees sported gnarled, naked branches. Both of them were among a small column of soldiers, though none of them had any uniform whatsoever; they couldn’t afford them and nor could their infant army. They were a sorry bunch, travelling as quietly as possible. Yexiang looked at him. “Nervous?”

“…a-a little. Aren’t you nervous, big sister?”

“Me? Pfft….” She shook her head. “No… after everything I’ve ever seen, not at all.”

“Seen?”

“Mm… let’s just say… I was around when the black ships of Jezabel landed. I was running away with my dear old parents. I looked away to see where we should go, and that one moment I wasn’t looking….” She smiled, though none of its cheery radiance reached her eyes. “Pffft… amazing how twenty years of love, twenty years of memories and stories can be swiped away with one little step in the wrong direction, straight into that fireball. Oh, my father was so devestated that he remained in his bed for the rest of his days before he took ill and wasted away before my eyes. Oh dear…~”
Yexiang fiddled with the gun again, busying herself with checking its every corner. “Lovely that dear Qinglan could get us these pretty guns from the black market, even when we have nothing to offer. Wonder what she promised them….”
“Just picture what you lost to help, boy. The Jezabels took my mother away. Hither came the Thengdom and so joyful we were, and turns out no. All they wanted was the cannon, and we were ignored and tossed away until most of us rotted away. No electricity… food… have there anything you lost, my boy?”

“Lost….” Mingsun looked down, his eyes dark. “I…”

“That look has already answered my question.”

“…my brother…. I was always an orphan, and my brother was all that I had. When the Jezabels landed we were lucky enough to run away before they went rogue on our villages, but we were separated. I didn’t hear from him for two years until I heard that he was found starved to death in a corner of the street.”

Yexiang hummed. “Well think of him then, my boy. Think of him and his memories, remember him. Know how the Thengs took him away with their uncaring arrogance. Sear it into your heart, and honour his memory with revenge.”

The column stopped. Ahead, behind the finger-like branches of dead and dying trees was a tall monolith of a cannon. This was what the Thengs came for, and for that they starved a whole nation and threw them to the mud to rot. PHOENIX-1, the Jezabel cannon guarded by the Thengdom.
“We’re here huh?” Yexiang giggled quietly. Her hold on the gun shivered with quiet anticipation, the light in her eyes bright. “I like you, boy. You’re certainly a favourite of mine among our sorry bunch. What do you say we go hang out a little if we live another day?”

“Hmm….” Mingsun blinked and smiled. “If we live another day.” They shared a soft fist bump.

Ahead, someone raised a hand and motioned. It was the signal. 3…2…1…
And they all stood as one and charged with a loud, hoarse cry.

The Lady Wisteria and the Golden Peony
[The Great Wharf, Donghai, Fengdu, Feng Dynasty]

Donghai Times
Unrest Across the Strait

The sun rises upon a chaotic Formosan Isle as rebels declare the Gaoming Republic within the city of Dongjing. Reports trickle in like a brook to sea of a lady named Qinglan, who leads the movement as the guiding light. They rise against the Thengdom with the hopes to reclaim their homeland, and with the dissatisfaction of the long forgotten years. Long before when the Jezabels landed-

“Well there you have it, that was bound to happen sooner or later.” Lady Teng gave the newspaper clipping to Yaoyao, her handmaid, who bowed and put it away among her entourage. “I do wonder how her majesty makes of this, ‘twas within one of the scenarios she suspected would happen.” The Great Wharf of Donghai was crowded as usual, porters came and went with their huge crates and boxes, enormous ships coming and going and docked at the port. It was the city of trade and commerce, where the world’s goods and coin flowed to and fro in tides.
“It would be, your grace. Given the histories behind that island.” The Finance Minister replied with a smile. He stood beside Lady Teng, his entourage about as populous as hers.. “I had spoken with her majesty in the Golden Fountain already, regarding this matter.”

“Oh? How did she react?”

“Not at all surprised; a melancholic sigh as well as a contemplative gaze. Some remarks of Fengese inability.”

“Well of course.” Lady Teng walked on with the Minister, their entourages following behind. The workers didn’t pause in their labour other than a brief bow. Under normal circumstances, this would be a great disrespect. This was Donghai and Donghai was busy, they couldn’t afford to stop.
“Imperial Feng cannot assist, lest we risk another attack upon our imperium and good image. Formosa is a mere strait from Donghai, imagine the chaos if they suddenly landed? I was vehemently against attacking the Theng; I am the Lady Governor of Donghai after all, mine family stronghold shall not fall.”

“The Lady of the Wisteria Clan is most wise.” The Minister tilted his head. “I do remember your talks with her majesty….”

“Indeed I do. We were friends in the Imperial Acadeny during our childhood, though I was more of the sisterly role being two years older than her. We’re quite similar… leading great and powerful realms at such a young age…. Anyway, my discussions with her do prove enlightening, even made a few stratagems.”

“Her majesty seems open to you.” The Finance Minister murmured. They were walking on the edge of the docks now, close to the water. It had just started to snow, fluffy flakes drifting from the sky. They were under the shadow of an enormous cargo ship that creaked with every little movement it made. “And that’s no small feat; other than with Princess Rongchang, her majesty is an enigma. An enigma none has deciphered, the gracious empress both passionate as the flame and cold as ice.”

“That is to be expected; she was enthroned barely two days past her eighteenth birthday after Emperor Chongzhen was forced to abdicate from illness. This qhumm is a vast realm to rule, one must strategise wity the labirynth of webs that is our politics to survive.” Lady Teng sighed. “The Taihe I knew wasn’t called Taihe back then, Taihe was merely a title conferred to hide her true name. Now, I cannot tell you that name or it would be great insolence, but back then when she was young…. Oh heavens, she was wild; the prankster of the academy. Once upon an August evening, she placed firecrackers in the main boy’s dormitories and sent those boys running out crying and in their underwear. Oh, the lords and ladies came in such a fury and launched investigations with all their noble detectives, but being the devious little devil, Taihe never got caught; outwitted them at every turn.”

“Pfft… her majesty sounds like such a lovely handful to deal with.”

“Indeed. Im proud to say that I was an accomplice in many of her schemes… oh, those were the days…. Then we separated after our respective graduations. For long I didn’t know what happened to her, then I heard she was crowned.” She sighed. “I went to say hello to her but I found that the prankster and vigour was crushed by the golden throne she now sits. All she speaks in graceful poise and calculated articulations, none of that whimsical caprice I once knew her for. Ah…..”

“I’m sure that side of her majesty is still there, buried somewhere deep within. Mayhaps talk with her majesty again when she returns from Bahnreich?l

“Perhaps….” She smiled at the Finance Minister. “Thank you kindly for talking with me, I do appreciate it. There are not much people I can reminisce with.”

“Of course dear sister, always a pleasure.” The minister smiled too. “Tea? We can go to one of those delightful pavilions selling boba tea, I think that’s what it is called these days anyway.”

“That sounds absolutely lovely.”

Neyde spears kingdom

All across the planet of Northern Utopia, TV screens suddenly flicker and turn off. Mobile phones turn black, computer screens zap out as if they'd suddenly lost all power.

Slowly, a red fade appears on the screen, the Neyde Spears Kingdoms logo appears, and the melodious tones of autotuned singing flutter across speakers. After about five minutes of this a small countdown pops up.

BREAKING NEWS: SUNRISE CORPORATION BUYS ALTIKARIAN OIL
The CEO of Sunrise corporation has publicly announced of succesful oil deal with the state of Altikar. The Sunrise Corporation bought every oil field in the country for 33 billion TUs with 80% of the profit coming for the company itself, while the rest goes to the state of Altikar. "Such a great deal for such a low price is something you never want to miss", said the CEO after a quick interview made by our reporters. It's expected that the oil production of the company rises by 20-30% after this historic deal. Some people remain sceptical and believe that the deal is just another attempt to get mroe influence in foreign countries, while others are happy for the profits the company will make out of this, which also brings more tax money for the state of Jazkovn.

Streets of Bhagaz
Bonds Growing Closer

The bustling market of Bhagaz had several seas of people lined to buy whatever is possible. The dry air was stagnant and the sunwas immense, so much so that when looking forward people only see distorted figures from the waves of heat the eminated from the floor. The stalls’ colorful awnings provided some with the protection from the glaring sun.

The cultivated oasis was blooming at either side of the market, surrounded in a tan pavement highlighted with a golden lines that created a complex pattern. It’s lush greenery created a stark contrast with all of the classically constructed tan buildings near them.

Next to this small park, which were commonplace in this city, there were little vendors selling everything from streetfood to hats to sunscreen. One of these stalls sold newspapers, all of the headlines here read the same piece:

Flowing Investments from Allies to the West!

As oil prices increase in Central Wasaru from the halting of the production of petroleum in Persia, new prosperity is to be had at home. Entrepreneurs from the Republic of Middle Gertbland, a nation that had helped the rightful Persian government against the Mattadi insurgency from the beginning, seek new gains in Qadis. It is believed that petroleum produced in Turmazistan will be transported to Middle Gertbland at special prices, decided by the Pont-Manat Free Trade and Investment Accords (PMFTIA), and refined in Middle Gertbland. It is only a matter of time before Turmazistan will wear a crown of black gold.”

The Taijing Herald
Altikarian Deal Overturned
In swift move sure as rain, the Imperial Court has overturned the deal with United Kuzikstan Sun Corporations, with their agreement and close commune and support of the Altikar royal court. The purchase of all Altikarian oil fields shall be halted in exchange for Pleike LLC’s ownership of it and Feng’s volleyball teams. It is a most auspicious move that the Minister of Finance states is “a more equal and fair deal for both the Kuzik corporation and for the Fengese and the Altikarian vassal.” With this oil, Imperial Feng shall seek to fill the gaps Persia left within the industrious realms of black gold and assist in the controlling of the prices of oil with luxuriant trade incentives along the Fengese Silk Road. This comes in light of Turmazistan movement as they begin trade incentives for oil for their Junta-supporting allies within central wasaru.

Large-scale Anime Convention Held in Nan’An
A large convention and gathering of the fans of Fengese and UKS animation has just concluded in high vigour. Figurines, light novels and manga, and anime as well as anime inspired games were bought and exchanged with a great flow of taels in and out to benefit the imperial economy. Cosplays boasted of vibrant colours and luxuriant fabrics as the skills of robe artisans are hired for cosplays, with the wealthiest of these hiring court artisans to craft their work. Lord Xie of Nan’An has called this, a part of his scheme to incentivise the economy, a great success and is due to present the Imperial Court with an even grander plan involving the entire Imperium. “This shall ensure greater heights of prosperity for the dynasty,” he says.

North Electrica Announcement

Technological Progress!

For the past year or so the United States of North Electrica has made staggering advancements in robotic and cybernetic technology, now Cybernetics are split into three different types.

- Medical Cybernetics: Otherwise MC's are cybernetics specifically designed to assist those with physical and medical ailments, an example are of course cybernetic arms and legs. MC's are usually designed to be the most practical, simple, and resilient Cybernetics.

-Cybernetic Enhancements: Otherwise CE's these cybernetics are meant to enhance parts of a person's body, usually being internal organs, body parts, and even integrated weapon systems. Making these the middle in terms of practicality. These vary between companies and their functions, but for the most part these are even more resilient that MC's and much more complicated.

-Cosmetic Cybernetics: Otherwise known as CC's these cybernetics have pretty much no practical use, they are simply irl cosmetics people can buy and use, mostly it's used by younger people to promote individualism with unique cosmetics or a collective group when some have similar cosmetics. Many are built to be durable but some may be fragile due to their functions and what company builds then.

With these established types many new companies, businesses, and even coprorations are forming in order to get their price on the Electrican cybernetic market, and after some reviews the Council has given a green light on international trade of NE built cybernetics.

International Announcement

A message to all those interested

North Electrica has announced that they will begin the trade of United States civilian grade cybernetics out to other countries, any other nations are interested in the trade contact the Electrican government. Once the message is received there will be talks on what the cybernetics are and what their capable of, along with discussing on how companies will get their product into interested nations.

OPERATION: OPEN ENDINGS

Stephen Iron walks up to a podium, flags of the Republic surrounding him as he walks down the red carpet, ready to deliver news to the eager press.

"Good afternoon, members of the press,' saya Iron while adjusting his microphone, 'over the past 23 days, the Parliament of the Republic launched an investigation into suspected rumors involving the Astanai Republic of Hongrevia-Astana.

And unforunately, those rumors were confirmed. Before I continue, I wish to reiterate my Lord President's stance on the situation in Clariași. We, do not want, under any circumstances, the annexation of Hongrevia-Astana under any situation. The current simply doesn't fit within our current administration's ideals, much less the nation.

Now, the rumors in question were that the um, government of Joseph October was not only allying with the highly extremist, National Renissanceuh, Pro-Fatherland Front, which has been declared by our government, the Number 1 domestic terrorist organization, responsible for thousands of deaths, a civil war, and the assasination of Lord President Blair Jonas Weiss.

In this investigation, not only did that come to light and reality, but also the fact that the NRPFF, in alliance with the current government, has been running detention centers for political and ethnic dissidents in conditions similar to that of contreaction camps, most notably in Aprilsburgh, Handrk City, and Bansk.

As such, in spite of the current, uh situation and our... ehm, popularity among most native Veoannish, the Parliament of the Republic has enabled the Astanai Republican Air Force to launch [Operation: Open Endings], on which, on the 18th of this month, the ARAF will being bombing both the mountainside and all major cities in Hongrevia-Astana territory.

The Parliament will also deliberate on whether or not an intervention in the war is necessary of more horrofic news comes to light, thank you and have a good day."

Iron then walks off and goes backstage.

03:00 NORTH KURIANOV MISSILE BASE
MISSILE LAUNCH FACILITY
LOCATION: NORTHERN PENINSULA, ROUVSKIAN FSFR
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

An alarm rang throughout an underground facility in the northern peninsula. Two men inside a room with computers and equipment lining the wall behind an armored metal door receive a code through a speaker as it echoed throughout the room.

"ALPHA, TWO, THREE, CHARLIE, HOTEL, VICTOR"

Writing down the code in each notebook, they compared what they had written. It's a match.

"It's a valid message." The commander said.
"I agree." His first mate replied.

Approaching a safe on the wall painted in red with two combination locks, the two of them inputted the combinations as the locks made a clicking sound before unlocking. Opening the safe, the two of them grabbed a bunch of cards with 2 character codewords. Comparing the cards with the message they had written down, they found a matching one. Grabbing keys on a silver necklace around their necks, they inserted the keys into key slots on two panels far from each other to prevent a rogue launch by a single person.

"Turn keys on my mark." The commander said.
"I agree." His first mate replied.

"3-2-1, turn keys." The commander said.

The keys turned in unison with one another as the two of them held the keys in position for 5 seconds in the spring-loaded key slots before releasing. The first mate inputted a code into a combination next to his key slot. Inputting the code, a Topol-M missile was now unlocked and ready to be launched.

"3-2-1, turn keys." The commander said one last time as an indicator on his control panel labeled "LAUNCH ENABLE" turned green.

The missile is switched to internal power as silo doors on the surface are flung open to allow the ICBM to launch. An alarm is set off as an indicator on the commander's control panel labeled "SOFT SILO" is turned on. A second later another indicator labeled "GUIDANCE GO" is turned on indicating that the guidance system was activated. A few seconds later the main engine of the Topol-M missile is activated causing it to blast out of its silo and launch into the wild unknown.

The same story was true on different bases as multiple ICBMs are launched toward a target to the north.

Flying over the north meridian sea, the first stage rocket would separate from the ICBM as the nukes closed up on their intended target minute by minute. After a few minutes of entering sub-orbital space flights, the second-stage rocket separated as the ICBM flew higher and higher. The third stage separated as the ICBMs released their warheads.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

03:28 NORTH MERIDIAN SEA

Slowing down at high altitude, the nuclear warheads armed with timers simultaneously detonated as it could be seen in the night sky for thousands of km, especially from N.R.V. The nuclear weapons detonated without targeting civilians for now.

The nuclear strike was a message clear as day to all who witnessed it.

"Surrender or face the prospect of utter destruction."

North Electrican Announcements and Responses

New Horizon
Internal/International RP

The City of New Horizon has officially announced that it has opened its gates for both the citizens of North Electrica but for the people of the World! There shall be a 3 week period of celebration as natives, immigrants, tourists, can come and experience Electrican culture and witness the official transitioning of a new Era of the United States. During these three weeks the city will be completely open, meaning anyone can come to the city, hotels will be opened for those staying temporarily during the celebrations and the first 5,000 to arrive will be eligible to take up permanent residence in New Horizon, which will allow for citizens of other countries to experience the best NE has to offer in this new age.

Furthermore the Donut of Knowledge has also opened, the DoK is possibly one of the first megastructures built by North Electrica standing at 100 Stories tall covering over a 500-700 meter diameter! Quite the large building, but for what? Well the education of the next generation! This massive structure was built in order to take in thousands of students from all ages to learn from one of the best education system in Utopia, not only this there's also an entire sector dedicated to scientific discovery for scientists from all over the world to congregate and work together to further scientific progress, an engineering workshop for those with more hands on or mechanical interests. And what makes this all better is the lodging for those who go to the DoK, meaning families of students, university students, scientists, and faculty can be on site with everything paid in full.

The Headmaster of the DoK for now shall remain anonymous until the first year officially begins, but he has also offered to discuss with foreign nations about exchange student programs.

For more information regarding New Horizon, please take look at this Codex

The Districts

The Nightshade District

The District of the rich and powerful, full of large estates, luxurious mansions, and only the best of the best food, entertainment, , and security is found here. The citizens here enjoy these luxuries and have little worries of the world.

The Sunset District

The other side of the same country as the Nightshade District, here this is the budget and low end District. Here people live in relatively small and compact apartments and there's a low level of quality of life.

The Twilight District

The Heart of New Horizon, here this is the center of everything. All transportation makes its way through this district, it's filled with many skyscrapers ranging from corporate towers to residential complexes. Besides that people can find the level living the lives of the middle class, the low class, and the high class all in one place.

The Daylight District

This district is where the majority of the cities power is produced, area filled with Solar Panels and Wind Turbines but at the center a large complex where a lot NE Fusion Reactor stands, with planes to add even more in the future as the city grows in size and population.

This district is overlapped by the Sunrise District, and people here mostly live in apartment and studio buildings.

The Sunrise District

This district is the much more "Rural area of this city, large expansive fields for animals and farmland cover the sector littered with vehicular charging stations, farmsteads, Hydroponic Farms, and Storage Facilities. The majority of the population mostly live along the canal acting as a town in of itself connected straight to the Twilight District.

This district is also the biggest, overlapping with the Daylight District and the Sunset District. Taking up around 20-35% of the other districts (note: these areas are shared between the districts.)

The Morningstar District

The Morningstar District is what can only be described as a military town, to it's North Western area a large military complex is set up for defense of the city and nearby assets, it's also home to the NHPD (New Horizon Police Department) HQ. This sector can see a large middle class percentage in population and ironically enough it is also the 2nd largest commercial center in New Horizon (behind only the Twilight District).

The Midnight District

The Midnight District was originally intended to be a second commercial district meant to allow small businesses and non corporatized businesses to thrive, however due to the cities rising growth the Midnight District will essentially evolve (or devolve considering your views) into essentially a Red Light District.

RP wise this district will also be where a lot of the crime will rise from alongside the Sunset District, mostly in Illegal Drug Production and illegal gambling.

Important Locations

The Donutof Knowledge: The DONUT OF KNOWLEDGE is a superstructure in New Horizon. Around 200 stories tall (at least around that margin) and I still need to figure out the exact measurements on its width and diameter. Essentially it's an education center, Massive Library, Science Lab, Mechanics and Engineering Lab, and much more all in one building. Essentially the idea is that this one building can support the education and care of children from Daycare all the way up to University level. Anyways the building is essentially so large that there would need to be an internal tram like system to get groups of people from place to place around the building, along with countless stairs, elevators, lifts, and escalators. Anyways back to the Donut of Knowledge.

This structure will also be very important lore wise, as a majority of NE's future characters will take up residency or simply attend classes in the DoK. And with it being so large it will also pretty much be the only school in NE, and while it may seem like a problem the people running it has made it free to attend unless they are using the science labs for personal projects or staying in the apartments and dorms. (If they aren't university level students) The Outside of the DONUT OF KNOWLEDGE is surrounded by a massive parking lot for vehicles of all sizes and landing pads for aircraft (helicopters and chopper like aircraft only),

On the inside (the hole in the donut) there is a central complex that has it's own forest that connects with an expansive park, a lounging area, a small village like area spilled with shops and restaurants to eat sat/order, and even a Spa and Salon for people to go and relax.

Gamer City: Gamer City,also known as Gametopia, is a city completely dedicated to Gaming and the Games Industry. Whether it's a profession, a hobby, or a lifestyle this place is a center for those part of gaming culture to congregate and play games. The city within the city is quite high standard, taking its place in between the Nightshade District and the Twilight District, even being built over the massive canal system that surrounds the Twilight District, at its center you will find skyscrapers either being luxury homes for pro gamers, streamers, and celebrities, or business buildings for big game development companies and media giants.

Prices here are generally reasonable depending on what building you wanna live in, there's shops around every corner for games and snacks, along with restaurants and cafes but strangely enough not a single grocery store (due to the fact that most gamers don't even know or have the time to cook whole meals). Besides that this city also has the highest number of holographic displays and screens, almost everywhere making it a rainbow of neon lights to the eyes of those who walk around (plot point for the future).

This city within a city is certainly a place filled with some of the toxic or wholesome people in Electrica. But they are possibly the most united community, the Gaming Community.

Come to New Horizon, to experience THE ELECTROID ERA!

-ATONEMENT-

Office of the Lord President, Omni City, Astana-Anders
———————————-

(This takes place in Present Time)

"New Horizon has just been launched in North Electrica sir.' Said an aid to which Fide stares intensely. 'The domestic and international media is calling it a 'city of the new era' for our neighbor. And it shows, several districts of advance technology in which is still only theories in our research facilities. It's a pinnacle of architectural and technological progress straight from the future."

Fide lights a cigar and huffs it, with a heavy breath along with it.

"That settles it... if Project EORE is to succeed, we can't just rely on our EMPs anymore. We saw what happened in The Achaemenids when the future meets the present. In order for AA to become a world power, it needs the technology and an entire restructure of our economy and society at large."

"But sir,' said General Nicholas Vladimir, 'where will we get such tech? It's obvious we'll never become that close with the World Union or the UKMC and our current facilities are still testing out the majority of that technology."

"Then we shall simply import it."

"Where from sir? The UKMC nor WU would do so."

Fide looks at a news article about the New Horizon Opening.

"Get Stephen Iron for me." Said Fide before extinguishing his cigar.

Steps Outside of the Palace of the Republic, Omni City, Astana-Anders
———————————-

"It is with great humility, that under the behest of both Lord President Fide Thomas Rush along with his administration, as well out of the good hearts of our people, that we would like to apologize for the actions committed by our nation during the dictatorship of Blue Harper and his subsequent war from 2020 to 2021.

We would like to apologize to the nations of The Grand Capitalist Federation of United Kuzikstan, The United Federation of North Electrica, and The Exalted Imperium of Feng Dynasty for the war crimes that our nation uh, carried out. Including but not limited too, the use of chemical warfare and chemical agents, bombing runs on civilian targets, use of domestic terrorism, the use of espionage and assassination, international bribery, and other war crimes as well as breaches in international conduct that should be mentioned, but are simply too long for me to list it all out.

We say this to congratulate all nations, but with respectful attention towards North Electrica in honour of the opening of um, New Horizon, as a testament of our nations good will towards not just our allies but to all of Dissopoloforia and the rest of the world. We hope, that with this statement of atonement, that our two nations may restart our relationship and work together for the benefit of both our nations, and to let the demons of the past die out forever.

We also um, wish to apologize to The Republic of The Achaemenids for the Bombing of Fatima. While we still remain that the bombings were a net positive in the turning of the war against the genocidal Persian Free State, we have come to recognize that the loss of human lives was a drawback that was not needed and could've been avoided if properly conducted. And as a sign of goodwill and as a testament towards our word, we would like to start a joint commission with the domestic government to investigate the damage made during those bombings and once a conclusion is to be drawn, help the reconstruction of the city and the surrounding areas as well as payment to all civilians who tragically, lost their lives as a result of said action.

We would also like to state that as of this moment, we will be disarming all non-regulated units currently within Persian borders as well as start the process to bring them home.

A new era has arrived all across our world, let's make it a better era indeed."

KERGUZNAM NEWSPAPER - 21/6/22

BREAKING NEWS: DÁKEN SPLIT IN TWO

The remaining major Dákenian forces have been split in two, after the 10th Jazkovnian Volunteer Regiment alongside 7th Syczalian Division (Hurona) managed to capture the municipality of Kroélsten. This marks the end of the June Offensive after all the goals of this massive operation have been achieved, says the Huronan general command. It's likely the remaining Dákenian groups will be encircled as soon as more divisions arrive to the new frontlines. The reporters who went to the frontlines by themselves, have reported of fierce gunfights, but it seems to be pretty clear that the insurgents are running out of ammunition. The General Command believes that the war will be over in a week or two.

ASTANA-ANDERS APOLOGIZES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Yesterday, the president Fide of Astana-Anders announced at the Palace of the Republic in Omni City of their apology to the nations of Kuzikstan, North Electrica, Feng Dynasty and Persia. The president announced to apologize for multiple war crimes the nation has done, including use of chemical weapons, killing civilians, domestic terrorism and many other crimes the nation has done to the world. So far every leader apart from Quiners and Aernaeb has officially accepted the apology. The leaders of Quiners and Aernaeb are expected to reveal their opinion next week.

2 MASSIVE TRADES YESTERDAY IN KYRZIS ONIN

Yesterday was a double-trade day, as Madia Orangers & Saz SazMonsters, and Kaszniv Lentiz & Krysznas Kuzikstania sealed two big trades with just a hour time difference. Madia Orangers opened their Elite roster for a 17-year old middle hitter Oguel Sevilai, and decided to make free space by selling the 28-year old Velon Suozel to Saz SazMonsters for 82 500 000 TUs. A hour later, a massive trade occured, as Kaszniv Lentiz and Krysznas Kuzikstania switched up their young players. Krysznas Kuzikstania gave up the 19-year-old Astanai Left side hitter Cranjis Taylor, and in return got same aged Daqin Zyzzker. The value of the "Astanai miracle" was far higher, and therefore Kaszniv had to pay 488 400 000 TUs for Krysznas Kuzikstania. According to many rumours, Krysznas may be already attempting to trade Daqin away in order to get more space for their young players coming from their volleyball academy.

Huronian Times Broadcast 22/6/22

As the TV-screen turns on to live broadcast from Huronian Times Headquarters, a middle-aged man with ash brown hair & beard walk in front of a large, white and clean desk. He is Áles Norludang, the anchorman for the broadcast of the evening, wearing his usual light brown suit and a blue tie. After fixing the position of the tie, he looks directly at the camera and begins the broadcast.
-------
Áles: Good evening dear Huronans. This is Áles Norludang reporting from New Manchester, welcome to Huronian times.
-------
A large screen behind the reporter shows footage of several explosions happening in short time at hilly pine forest that causes trees to fly off their roots. Next up a short montage of combat footage from Huronan soldiers and local reporters show constant gunfighting in small towns full of white brick houses.
-------
Áles: The fighting in Syczal province continues on, as the major headquarters of the remaining insurgent forces have been succesfully destroyed in Éstles province in Southwestern Syczal. The insurgent forces have been finally encircled, and it's believed the insurgent leaders are also dead. Over 26 banishment camps have been found across the shorelines with thousands of innocent civilians trapped in. Thankfully most of the civilians appear to be fine. The insurgents began locking up religious people in the banishment camps as soon as the war started, and the investigation of planned massacre is underway.
-------
The screen switches to a picture of a volleyball match behind the reporter.
-------
Áles: Next up, we have some more delightful volleyball news. The trade season is starting to come closer to and end, which marks that the volleyball season is also beginning for the lowest levels of Kyrzis Onin. Next up we will hear some thoughts from a player from VBC Svutne Trytvaz, which currently has the goal to get promoted from Kyrzis Onin X to IX.
-------
The screen behind Áles then switches inside a small volleyball stadium. The other side of the hall has stands for 2,955 people, with benches all painted in green and orange in a chess pattern. The other side has just a dark wooden wall with couple doors leading to the commentator's box and the locker rooms. The basic wooden court has a team of both younger and veteran players passing a ball to each other across the white net. A Huronian Times reporter stands next to one of the players.
-------
Reporter: Greetings from Svutnehall in Trytvaz! Here we have the Libero of Svutne Trytvaz, 33-year-old Qurstu Ezyqrsi from Qyzliria. Qurstu, how was the last season?

Qurstu: Well, it was an okay season despite one of our good guys moved to a league in Astana-Anders in mid-season. We placed 5th, which was pretty decent, but to be real, we did have a chance to get promoted, but I feel like we just didn't take it.

Reporter: What will be the goal of this team for the incoming season?

Qurstu: Oh, well, obviously we're trying to get promoted and avoid relegation at all costs. This club has been kind of stuck in the same league since I was signed to the team, and I think it's now-or-never-situation here.

Reporter: I've heard that you have been playing in other leagues too, like in Serbatijan second-level leagues. How would you explain the skill difference? Was it hard to adapt back to the Kyrzis Onin, or did it go relatively well?

Qurstu: Well, I gotta say there's little to no skill difference. However, the players over here are way more aggressive and the fanbase is absolutely amazing despite, not gonna lie, this is quite a small club. It took a bit of time to get used to the electrifying chants from your own fans, but otherwise there wasn't any problems on my way.

Reporter: You're already 33 years old, and almost half of the players already retire in your age. What are your future plans in volleyball?

Qurstu: I haven't really thought of that yet, because I have been more focused on incoming season. However, I'm not planning on stopping playing, as long as the club sees me as a useful player. Perhaps when my time will come, I'll move back to Serbatija and perhaps continue playing in lower levels, which are less competitive.

Reporter: Last but not least, as a Kyrzis Onin player, how hard is it to become one?

Qurstu: If I remember right, there's almost 100 million people playing regularly volleyball in Shanting alone, and 1,056 of them are Kyrzis Onin players. That means that there's less than 0,001% chance that any of them would get a place in Kyrzis Onin. If you want to become a Kyrzis Onin player, you have to work your ass off for your whole life and never stop, just like I have done. You can be a prodigy, but even they have to work as hard as we do in order to get a place here.

Reporter: Alright, thank you for your wise words, and I hope your season will be the best one yet.

Qurstu: Thank you for giving me the chance to talk with you pal', peace out.
-------
The screen switch back to a generic wallpaper with the "Huronian Times" logo.
-------
Áles: We have yet one piece of news, which is also related to volleyball. Yesterday the Blue Bridge Blues traded away their 29-year old Huronan player Slevin Herkes to Yurizambe Oilers. The trade was signed at 7pm with the cost of 79 150 000 TUs. This trade may be one of the very last trades we see before the season starts, which marks the end of the extra hot trade season we have seen this year.
-------
That's all the main news we have for today, we'll see you tomorrow.

Ovstylap, Of denmarkia, and Astana-Anders

Nisghina, Town Square
National Republic of Veoannia
 21st/June/2022, 1 P.M.
======================================

A young woman walks down her old neighborhood street, a street once filled with life and culture, where it once held the 'Independence Day' Carnival, a wonderful display of all things that make Veoannia unique. Colourful masks, tasty foods with the national colours, and dances to celebrate the independence of her nation just 8 years ago.

Now? It's a decaying mess with boarded up homes, destroyed and burned concrete and railway tracks, and decaying schools tagged with nationalist slogans. She just turned 20 last week, and she already feels as though life as she knows it is over. Almost 2 months of war and violence does that to a person you know. As she walks the street, she hears something in the foreground, just down the street at the old intersection between Sastra Street North and March 13th Boulevard. It sounds like a commotion, but she can't make out anything noticeable.

She runs down the street, wanting to see what's going on, before she sees a bright object being launched. She halts, not knowing what was that but a feeling of dread increasing in her stomach. Then she hears somebody saying, 'Death to the Fascist Regime!' She knows what is going on. Before she knows it, she sees a stream of people, mostly young people running down the intersection, waving red and black flags with some even holding burning whiskey bottles or banners.

She knows what she has to do and runs away from the intersection. She has no desire to be a part of the crowd, knowing what the outcome of such an action. But she notices something coming down in front of her. She stops immediately before whimpering to see an armored car rolling down the same street, only at her. She hops into a tight alleyway, hoping they didn't see her. It's to no avail however, the armored car stops to where she is hiding and unloads a company of about 250 armored soldiers, head to toe in gear. One of them grabs her by the hair and drags her out, before letting a few of his comrades swing their steel batons at her, blood coming out of her bruises in the process before she drops to the ground in agony and tears. Two drag her back into the armored car while the rest march down the street.

The crowd at the intersection sees them and begins to throw chants at them, locking their arms in the process. The crowd itself is about 7 thousand people strong. They all university students from the local institute, or at least they were until the university was shut down by the Monroe government. That is why they are out and about, they are protesting to go back to university without tuition fees, as well as protesting the ongoing government and demanding for a democratic convention of the people, as opposed to the one-party National Assembly.

The captain of the armored soldiers, masked along with his subordinates steps up in front of everyone, as he did this, 4 more armored cars pulled up in front of them as well, unloading more than 700 soldiers in total, armed with rifles. The captain, now seeing everyone accounted for says, "This is an illegal demonstration, DISBAND IMMEDIATELY."

In response, one of the protestors threw a water balloon filled with paint at the group of officers. With a hand signal, the entire entourage loaded and aimed their rifles and fired, a shrill blast and the screams of people as metal pellets fill the area. For a few seconds, the soldiers continuously shooting metal pellets as the many in the crowd get hit, blood following down their bodies when they're hit. After that, the police armed with steel batons began to rush into the crowd, now panicking from the brutality and rushing to leave, attempting to carry their bleeding comrades out of there.

Once the police made it, they swung their batons indiscriminately, with the clear intention of arresting as many protestors as possible. Some of the police officers had decided to move up to the rooftops, allowing them to snipe more on the ground. A melee soon began, as resisting protestors threw rocks and flaming cocktails at the armed soldiers, to which proved ineffective against steel-body armor and were left bleeding and detained on the ground as a result.

A scene happening all over the NRV.

Eskişalui, Erol Roman Ward
Socialist People's Republic of Veoannia
 22nd/June/2022, 8 P.M.
======================================

"Cirem Monroe! Jasrulsun vel dejenerae hukemet!"

"Cirem Monroe! Jasrulsun vel dejenerae hukemet!"

"Cirem Monroe! Jasrulsun vel dejenerae hukemet!"

'We want Monroe! Down with the degenerate government' is chanted again and again and again, over and over again by a crowd in the dimly lit streets of Eskişalui, a city of 300 thousand just 5 km south of Aughiev. The crowd of Monroe supporters' number 20 thousand strong, provoked by a tweet made by Monroe earlier in the day, calling for all of his remaining supporters not arrested by the government to go out and demand the restoration of 'Veoannish democracy', in retaliation for them 'planning' the events earlier in Nisghina.

The government is not having it.

In front of the torrent of chanting and angry ultranationalists, lies over a 2 thousand-armed police officers of the newly created 'State Agency of Popular Protection' (Agețea Suautul del Cenicete Porucație/ASCP). The atmosphere is tense, the police are increasingly beginning to fear a riot while the demonstrators are becoming more aggressive, to the point where some of them are spitting in the eyes of several officers.

Then, another armored car filled with police officers come in the nick of time. When they finally unload all of their personnel, somebody yelled 'F*CK THE COMMUNISTS!' before a man was seen with a flaming cocktail running towards the police before throwing it, the cocktail smashing on one of the officer's shields. That was it.

"Get the Water cannons out of here, the protest is becoming violent." Said one of the captains of the police.

A few more minutes went by before the water cannons came out. By that time, the police were actively beginning to close in on the protestors and pushing them backward into the heart of the street's center, where they could let their units surround the demonstration. When the water cannons came, the protest was beginning to turn violent, as protestors was forcing themselves on the police as well as ramming any object, they could at their direction to stop their advance.

Soon, the water cannons came, and began to shoot high-pressured water at the demonstration. Cold, powerful water splashed and knocked over several people. Then the police rush into the demonstration, hitting and detaining anyone in opposition to them. Melee soon spread in the panic, the protestors began to attack the police with bricks and left-over debris, with the police in response ramming themselves at the protestors, detaining many in the process.

Another day in war-torn Veoannia.

Statement by the Commissar-Minister for Foreign Affairs of the SDRCV, Gherahail Fabian
06.22.2022

"By universal vote by the Supreme Assembly of Veoannia along with the cooperation of the Socialist Democratic Republic of Clariași-Veoannia, have decided to move the beginning of the Aughiev Peace Conference onto the 24th of June 2022 AD. This is done in response to a wave of riots and demonstrations supered by ultranationalists rivals to the legitimate government. As such, the negotiations shall commence effective immediate when delegates arrive, in order to speed the process so all can maintain stability in our governments."

Aughiev, Northeastern Ward
Ecaterina-Gavril Air Force Base
 24th/June/2022, 3 P.M.
======================================

A crowd of people walk into the large room prepared for them, diplomats, military officials, dignitaries, and heads of state, all of the sort. It's a grand room, albeit simple room. The interior is carpeted and painted red, a row of 10 by 10 seats on both left and right sides of the room are aligned nicely and orderly. Alight electrical chandeliers hang from the white ceiling. A small table is outfitted with a red tablecloth, just big enough to house 5 seats of people. On the table, three name cards are written in big Georgia-font letters spaced out across the table reading Socialist People's Republic of Veoannia, the National Republic of Veoannia, the Socialist Democratic Republic of Clariași-Veoannia, The Socialist Federal Republic of Novoroyska, and The Federal Socialist Republic of Astana-Anders. To the right of the table is a podium with a microphone on it and behind it, the flags of the previously mentioned nations.

Despite it only being an hour since the meeting started, the room is packed with representatives and dignitaries, with Diplomat Esherick Corbyn of Astana-Anders already there, all that was left were the Veoannish and Novoroyskans parties involved.

After a few more minutes, three cars pulled up, each caring a different flag being hosted on the radio antenna of the car. The first one to head out was Svetlana, the second Monroe, and the third Anhexla. They all looked at each other and glared, a glare embedded with a hatred deep and personal. Monroe reach into his gigantic black trenchcoat he always wore, with him wearing an armband with the Veoannish national colours on it. He took out a cigar and lit it.

"Good afternoon, the teălătóir Bíşdiúnhăis." Monroe said mockingly to Svetlana with that glare still in his right eye, the smoke from his cigar covering up his scarred left one.

Svetlana only quickly examined Monroe from head-to-toe before walking towards the opened door from her with Anhexla not far from behind with Monroe following suite. The two Veoannish women soon caught up to each other, now walking at the same pace. The two looked at each other with a cold gaze and return to their original position, not daring to say a word to each other. They finally made it to the desk, where Diplomat Esherick was already sitting down at the table, waiting for the negotiations to begin. He got up from his table and shook both Svetlana and Anhexla on the hands before they all went to their seats on their part of the table.

Monroe soon entered and walked past everyone, refusing to give anyone even another acknowledgement. Despite his cold and demeanor, Monroe knew he would get exactly what he wanted, an independent NRV along with support from the Novoroyskans to rebuild his economy that they helped to destroy, a wonderful story of karma that he intended on savoring with every second the negotiations took place.

All the leaders took to their seats, with only one more person needed so they could start the negotiations, the Novoroyskan representative.
