RP: Rebuild and Recover

    The civilian industry of Evacasia is relatively small, but it has great potential. Manufacturing sectors exploded in both importance and scale during the Republic - a mix of booming population, international trade, and higher rates of education caused the demand for civilian products to surge and the available workforce to provide them, grow. Many new companies came onto the scene, while many older brands found themselves experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

    With the current depression having forced economic growth to a grinding halt, the once thriving civilian industry stagnated. Even as unemployment dropped below 9%, the national GDP hovered without change, and the captains of industry lined up before the Government looking for relief.

    They found their saviour in the newly appointed Minister for Finance, Lukas Stresemann. Stresemann, a former business owner himself, filled the role in an unenviable moment. Though the public and economic giants decided to have faith in him; the Kaiser himself had chosen Stresemann, showing confidence in his abilities.

    With Stresemann at the helm, and with the Kaiser's endorsement, two major programs have gone underway to recover and grow the economy. The first of these is the 'Kaiserwerke'. Focused primarily on civilian industry, the Kaiserwerke involve developing infrastructure (particularly in the war-torn Tírnua), funding educational programs, bailing out certain industrial giants and more. The Kaiserwerke, however, is merely the foundation of a second program. One of far larger significance to the Kaiser and the Empire.

    The military buildup of Evacasia was a given from its foundation. The pathetically inadequate military and practically non-existent war industry would hold it back from greatness. The military, once a crowning glory for the Kaiserreich, once the backbone of the nation, had to be rearmed. It had to return to its glory days, and enable Evacasia to assert itself as a power to be heard in the world.

    Both Stresemann and August understood what the first step of any rearmament program would be - to rebuild the war industry. 'Military Autarky' was the way forward, in all senses of the word. A near-entirely self-sufficient army, equipped with home grown designs and Evacasian built equipment, was the goal to strive for.

    Enormous amounts of money are poured into the 'Kriegswerke', hoping that the investment made would revitalise the economy and pay back dividends. Many former suppliers of the military, including companies such as Rückgrat and Streikmeister, receive Government grants intended for production and research.

    Expansion of the military itself has not yet taken place, though as the war industry grows, the time draws near for total rearmament.

    Evacasia
    Given Evacasia's economic situation and suspected poor fighting capabilities given the recent Civil War there; the War Ministry has requested volunteers and equipment be shipped to Blayredeshia to aid in the war effort though warning that direct involvement in the War may be too much for the relatively young and repairing Evacasian economy to handle though the Blayredeshians have suggested the Evacasians station troops on the border in case of a spillover of conflict.

    Taking into account the advice, approximately 100,000 troops of the 139,000 currently active duty soldiers are stationed along the eastern border in defensive positions. Much of the mostly coastal-patrol navy is stationed in northern ports, preparing for any emergencies which may begin in the Bay.

    Roughly 2,400 volunteers are prepared for transport to Blayredeshia. Being a relatively small force, they consist almost entirely of the more well trained and well equipped soldiers in the army. Very little equipment is planned to be sent, however, as the military wish to themselves expand and will require it for their own needs.

    Receiving the request from the Red Cross, the Solingarchi Government was pleased to review and - after a short deliberation between the Confederate Parliament and the Monarchy - accept the request, allowing the Red Cross to move to the Confederation.
    With the accepting of the Red Cross, however, came the question as to where they would settle.
    The Confederation consisted of 8 constituent Republics, and one further Territory, each of which were more than willing and eager to host the Red Cross Headquarters.
    Offers from the governments of each Confederate Republic have been sent to the Red Cross Officials, each one offering to host the new Headquarters in cities within their borders. Now, it was just left up to the Red Cross to choose where they settled.

    As the dust settles from a hectic cross-Kalrania escape from Tírnua, Red Cross officials are quickly left baffled by the choice they must make. The quick rush to leave Evacasia left them little time to plan for such an issue, and so they choose blindly for what seems the best option in the moment.

    Having arrived in the nation through Ivery, they settle on settling in the city of Columbia, within the Republic bearing the same name. Being just across from the IAZ, they figure that the short hop onto the mainland would be well worth the extra time, if it means having easier access to the rest of NNS.

The Qatamari gov is happy to accept the deal and hopes that this will allow that there can be a peace maintained throughout the nation, in addition to this, the Qatarmari government has requested to commence relations with the nation and asks for a security force from the natio to be deployed in the area to help keep the peace. In addition to this, in light of the a rearming of Kynthes, a possible arms deal has been eyed.

OORP: do we have an equivalent to the AK-47?

RP: Of Course

The Empire is happy with the Qatamari nation's interest in Kynthesine weaponry. We wish to export every type of current Kynthesine weapon that we have, and we will allow them to copy Kynthesine design, but has to pay us a small fee for it. We also wish to form formal relations, and trade with Qatamar, so that it may have relations with the GIC for trade and cooperation.

The nation government makes offers for heavy weapons and equipment as well as jets, meanwhile, there are also requests made by the main and local govs for a wide variety of equipment including assault rifles and anti tank equipment and shoulder mounted rockets.

With the revelation of a Civil War in Rekken the Confederate High Command has issued a partial mobilization of Blayredeshian air bases in the south at fort bonnet which is around 270 miles north of the Blayredeshian-Rekkenian Border and Fort Suid which is out east. In total the Confederacy hopes to mobilize 900 fighter jets and 400 bombers although they have had to call back jets stationed in The gatisland and The gardurlands in order to fill this number. Meanwhile, Adolf Dresden has been promoted by Emperor Blayre IV to General in Chief and recognized as the Chief of the Confederate High Command as well as the commander of the Confederate 6th Army. General in Chief Dresden plans on commanding the Confederacy's military forces in the coming War between Rekken and Icewindia while also leading the intended intervention force. Already General in Chief Dresden has begun issuing a variety or orders while the Emperor informs the Icewindians that the Blayredeshians will be joining them.

Atraland
The Imperial Minister of War George Ewell has sent word to the Government and Military of Woleve Atraland informing them of an incoming conflict with the Rekkenians to the south and has requested that an expeditionary force be sent to Blayredeshia to join up with the 6th Army as well as any aircraft and warships that the nation can spare.

Evacasia
Given Evacasia's economic situation and suspected poor fighting capabilities given the recent Civil War there; the War Ministry has requested volunteers and equipment be shipped to Blayredeshia to aid in the war effort though warning that direct involvement in the War may be too much for the relatively young and repairing Evacasian economy to handle though the Blayredeshians have suggested the Evacasians station troops on the border in case of a spillover of conflict.

The Gardurlands
Given The gardurlands geographic location the War Ministry has suggested that the Kingdom merely send its navy and possibly volunteers to Blayredeshia if that can be afforded.

The Gatisland
Given the well-known brutal and destructive nature of the Gatisian Civil War; the War Ministry has suggested to The gatisland government that they remain neutral in the conflict as General Karloff will be withdrawing his men from the Rekkenian border to prevent a border skirmish. Most notably though the 5th Army has begun advertising to the Gatisian populace that young men who volunteer to travel to Blayredeshia and fight in the eventual war will be paid handsomely and possibly even be given citizenship.

Nonadia
Given Nonadian geographic position, the War Ministry has only requested possibly expeditionary volunteers and equipment though they have thrown around the idea of a direct intervention by the sea to help the Icewindians secure the Sea of Helandriel from the Rekkenians.

The nations contacted by the War Ministry are reminded to keep a low profile with any mobilizations or troop movements as to not raise suspicion.

RP: Recognition
Meanwhile, the Imperial Ministry of State has issued a statement that only officially recognized the "Movement for Liberation of Demira as being a morally just one" although remained completely silent on whether or not it recognized Demira as an independent nation or if its application into the Nationalist League had been accepted or denied. Following an address by the Emperor himself to the press the official stance of the Confederacy, for now, seems to be summed up by the Emperor when he said:

"We recognize that the struggle for freedom and liberty by the Demirans is one that has been ordained by the divine will of justice as being a virtuous and morally right one. However, in times of global economic and political uncertainty, we can only stress peace in our time and hope that the Demirans and those who wish to oppress them will come to the bargaining table to achieve peace and prosperity in our time."

Many suspect this as simply being the Emperor and his allies stalling for time as they build up their numbers while rumors circulate that the Blayredeshian 6th Army; which numbers 650,000 Infantry, 500 Tanks, and 35 Artillery pieces making it the largest single army in Blayredeshia by a landslide, has begun moving to position itself around 50 miles north of the Blayredeshian-Rekkenian Border though if true it will take several weeks before it is present in full strength. In other news Admiral Greim's fleet of 98 Warships have begun sailing to the southern half of the Blayredeshian coast and word circulates that Grand Admiral Horn's Battle Fleet stationed in Nonadia is preparing to sail for the Sea of Helandriel.

RP: Formation of the First Solar Crusaders Expeditionary Force
Recently, large-scale troop movements have begun across Atraland, with troops usually garrisoned in the south and east suddenly beginning transport west to the Blayredeshia border. Various Corps of infantry and armor have begun merging, with an estimated 700,000 troops gathering across the border waiting for the go-ahead from Blayredeshia to enter the nation and move to the border with Rekken. The air force and navy have been no exception to the mobilization, with large amounts of aircraft being moved westwards to airbases within striking distance of Rekken, and numerous IRBM trucks being moved as well, setting up in the hills to the southwest. Roughly 400 SIA-35 Seraphim air superiority fighters alongside 300 A-22 multirole fighters and 200 Wraith XC CAS helicopters have begun movements to the west. The Solis Imperiums carrier fleet, comprised of roughly 40 warships alongside four carriers and the formidable Mikhov I Supercarrier have begun a "routine training movement", setting off from port and heading westwards. The Air Cavalry, elite units used for rapid response, usually assigned to patrol the jungles in the far south as the trees are too thick for ground patrol, have withdrawn and began moving westward alongside the rest of the units. Significant forces from the Knights of Sol, the special forces of Atraland, have begun gathering at naval ports and airbases across the nation, with paratroopers and marines evidently preparing for something. The infamous Beret-wearing units of the Knights of Sol, including the 23rd Berets, known for their role in numerous conflicts across Atraland history, have been recalled from leave en masse, returning to their assigned bases to await orders. The Sol Invictus Mikhov II has yet to comment publically on the matter, though in recent days he has not appeared publically, his schedule filled with meetings with military officials and defense staff. The Cathedral of the Seekers, the center of the Solis Imperiums government and home of the Sol Invictus, has seen a stark increase in security, with numerous photos being shared online of men in nondescript black uniforms and armed with various heavy weapons patrolling regularly. Somewhat suspiciously, the Solis Imperium government has recently made public numerous highly profitable contracts for the mass manufacturing of various weapons, rations, and uniforms, of which the many capitalists of the nation have been all too happy to bid on.

RP: Sudden economic reforms
For an unknown reason, various temporary economic reforms have been enacted by the Sol Invictus, with extensive subsidization for the arms industry being passed. These subsidization bills are set to run for a year, after which they will be halted to prevent inflation and to allow the rebuilding of the Imperial Treasury, which will be in a deficit as it personally pays the subsidies to prevent tax raises using money collected from various crown led industries. The Imperial Treasury is expecting to post a loss of roughly 10 Billion Arctoes by the end of the year, about 12% of its total currency.

Schwypia wrote:RP: Improving Nakatoro

The Schwypian government, seeing signs of struggle in Nakatoro, has resolved to provide closer aid to their protectorate. The mission was vouched for by Nakatoran Representative Hak Sung-ho, who brought a study from Incheon city regarding terrorism in the Kowenian states to Parliament. All of this comes after a stabbing in Schwypia by a Kowenian several years ago due to Schwypia's control of Nakatoro. Rather than letting up on their control, as they see the protectorate as an important territorial dominion, the Schwypian government has resolved to go through with providing further aid to the city. Since the Nakatoran Police Force is nearly reliant on the Schwypian military garrison there, it has been approved that the Nakatoran Police will receive further funding to break this dependence on their mother country's muscle. Futhermore, a new SAI facility will be constructed in Nakatoro to help counteract terrorism in the city, deploying SAI special agents and NITUS counterterrorism units to Nakatoro along with this new facility. All of this being said, increased military action by other powers in the region has made the Schwypian government also propose to increase the garrison there from 1,000 soldiers to 1,500 soldiers and from 15 warships to 25, though due to the importance of the city to Schwypia, additional soldiers and naval vessels may be deployed.

RP
The Schwypian counter-terrorism forces, now being more present and active in Nakatoro, has found the scenario to be on a delicate balancing point of the status quo. Kowenian nationalism has been on the rise in Nakatoro, as the political right wing has grown across the Kowenian states so has the political right in Nakatoro along with people living in Nakatoro identifying more as Kowenian then Schwypian.

The fanaticism seen out of this nationalist movement is also pretty concerning for the Schwypian authorities; with some of the more fringe groups seeing Won Tae-Young, the perpetrator of the mass stabbing, as a martyr for his beliefs in recognizing Nakatoro as still being part of the Kowenian States. Members of these fringe groups have also been the perpetrators of copy cat crimes resulting in the deaths of several Nakatoro police officers, government bureaucrats, and even normal citizens over the years.

The Nakatoro Police are thankful for the support by the Schwypians, which up until that point have been attempting to play a more passive and larger role to keeping the peace and order (partially due to a large part of the Nakatoro populace sympathizing with the nationalists.) The Nakatoro government, under direction by Governor Jeong Nam-Gi, has also been passing more acts to allow cooperation of intelligence and other efforts in the name of counter-terrorism to ease operations between themselves and the Schwypian forces.

Members of the Nakatoro government have also put numerous bills to increase security (such as construction of a border fence or surveillance system) and cite Incheon city having these systems in place and have been effective in curbing terrorism. Although the bills have mostly failed to pass with the congress.

While North kowen has not been as hostile with Nakatoro as it has been with Incheon City, the Schwypian authorities have noted cases of North Kowenian soldiers harassing Schwypians entering North Kowen when they present a Schwypian passport or Schwypian identification with some claims of even temporary detainment. The North Kowenian government has denied these claims, calling them "misconstrued and overexaggerating" with the North Kowenian government stating it has heightened it's own border security policies as a result of terrorism from Incheon seperatist groups acting inside of North Kowen.

RP: A Survey of Slaves
During the bloody ethnoreligious conflict that was the Fourth Atralandian Civil War, hundreds of thousands of ethnic minorities from the Slozvek and Akzvanian communities were kidnapped by the Imperial Army and forced to work as slaves in factories across the nation to build arms and ammo. It seems that following the end of the conflict, these minorities were more or less forgotten about, with the factories no longer being funded or guarded, but to leave the factories meaning certain death at the hands of the Solis Imperium for the slaves as it genocided minorities across the nation, it seems that the ethnic minorities set up hidden communities in the abandoned wartime factories. This was discovered when a member of the Department of Internal Security assigned to crime analysis realized a pattern of unusually high petty crime rates around old industrial parks from the civil war, leading to an investigation by him that revealed old documents stating the factories were to be abandoned, but never actually mentioning what was to happen to the slaves inside. Looking through old armament ledgers, it has been deduced that about 30,000 slaves were likely executed, as the forces guarding them requisitioned extra ammo following the order to abandon the factories, however at roughly 800 locations with a total estimated 442,000 slaves, it seems they were just left there. Following this, a small-scale investigation was launched in tandem with the Solis Imperium Marshalls that uncovered secret communities of Slozveks and Akzvanians at 436 of the roughly 800 locations, with a total population of about 134,000 men women, and children. It appears after the abandoning of the factories, some tried to flee and likely died at the hands of the Imperial Army as it purged minorities, with purge ledgers showing a significant amount of Slozveks and Akzvanians being captured near the industrial parks, far superseding the pre-civil war ledgers on how many Slozveks and Akzvanians inhabited the area, while other factories show signs that the people inside simply starved, with multiple cases that apparently show inner conflicts between the Slozveks and Akzvanians using whatever weapons and ammo were abandoned mid-construction at the factories shortly before mass starvation set in. At the aforementioned 436 locations, small communities apparently formed, with an average of about 300 members per location, they seem to have survived by cannibalism long enough to eventually sustain themselves on petty theft and small-scale farming once the purge of minorities had ended. As of now, all members of these hidden communities have been arrested and the factories seized by the Solis Imperium Marshalls, with the Sol Invictus yet to comment on what will become of the 134,000 minorities arrested.

New Government Appointments

~Following a shocking investigation into Taco Island Mayor Louisistan’s failure to use the official yacht as directed by the Mayor’s Private Yacht Act of 1955, Louis handed in his Linkresignation as mayor. Chief Executive Markanite appointed Tanzoria as the Linknew mayor, to oversee forum spam and games. Thank you, Louis, for your convivial leadership of Taco Island, and congrats Tanzoria!
~Markanite also appointed Free Las Pinas as the new LinkPresident of the XKI Cards Co-op, after HumanSanity stepped down. As President, FLP will help to coordinate regional card farming efforts and direct the donation of cards to various cultural events and competitions.
~Then Secretary of State Margaux hired Porflox as XKI’s new emissary to Spiritus, Sulenia as emissary to Greater Dienstad, and Eastern New England as emissary to Deutschland.
~The new Minister of Education Free Las Pinas hired Sulenia to serve as his deputy and assist in coordinating the welcome and assistance of new members of the region.

Around the Islands

~February’s LinkFeatured Nation was Porflox, a newcomer to the islands who has already shown their talent as a recruiter, TITO Member, and the region’s new emissary to Spiritus. Congratulations Porflox, we’re excited to see where you’ll go next!
~Cultural Officer Thedairos announced the LinkBest Flag Competition this February, where members and friends of the region could submit their flag designs via a forum thread or an on-site TG, after which Islanders voted for their favorite design. With 22 gorgeous flag designs to choose from, competition was fierce, but in the end, Grea Kriopia’s flag won the forum competition, and Megistos flag won the on-site competition. Congrats to the winners and a round of applause for all contestants for their creativity and amazing flag designing skills!
~XKI’s LinkForum Theme Design Competition continued throughout the month of February. Interested Islanders were given the chance to submit their own ideas for a new forum design, in hopes that their submission might be chosen as an actual theme for the regional forum. Four intrepid designers tried their hand at making a forum theme. Free Las Pinas showed an eye for pleasing pink with his LinkPastel Palms Theme. Pianaville lifted our spirits with their bright LinkBeach Theme and Comfed channeled the spirit of the ocean with their LinkSurf of the Islands Theme. Finally, Silvedania got us all ready for summer vacation with their LinkSand and Water Theme. The Council of Nine is currently deliberating which of these gorgeous designs to pick, so stay tuned to find out the competition winner next month!
~Perhaps prompted by the new Mayor Tanzoria, there has been a resurgence of spammy chat threads in Taco Island. Chaos reigned as Islanders debated whether or not Linkthis is a Starbucks, fired Linktrebuchet projectiles at one another (and the mayoral mansion), and re-opened LinkThe Tanzoria Asylum for the Criminally Insane. And yes, the asylum is named after the new mayor, perhaps explaining why Taco Island has been so crazy as of late. Regardless, Islanders new and old enjoyed the excitement and got to spamming like never before!
~In celebration of The Partnership for Sovereignty, XKI, TRR, and TSP joined forces to host a trading card pull event. The event was centered around commended defenders, and participants had the chance to get S1 Improving Wordiness, Ballotonia, and Eluvatar cards. Eager to try their luck, members of all three regions spent the afternoon card farming and opening up card packs, with several participants striking gold and gaining a copy of these sought-after cards.

Islander Achievements

~Although this is a civil, rather than personal achievement, we wanted to highlight Eastern New England for all the hard work he has been doing lately as the WA Secretariat in issuing numerous WA Proposal Voting Recommendations and Overviews. With every new proposal to hit vote in the GA or SC, ENE searches through forum debate to provide Islanders with a quick, easy to understand overview of the proposal from a variety of perspectives. For political proposals, ENE goes one step further, and coordinates with delegate HumanSanity to issue a voting recommendation explaining why a vote for or against is in XKI’s regional interest. ENE’s work has provided valuable insight into the WA for many Islanders, and truly deserves a moment of special recognition for his efforts!
~Free Las Pinas also put in the work in regard to the WA this month, authoring their first-ever GA Resolution “Supporting People with Disabilities”. After months of drafting and redrafting his proposal about protecting and assisting those with physical and mental impairments, FLP submitted his proposal towards the middle of February. Following an extensive telegram campaign, the proposal reached vote and passed with a laudable 82.8% support. Congrats FLP, and best of luck in your future authorship endeavors.
~Not to be outdone, Noahs Second Country also got to work in the WA, drafting “Repeal: Commend Northern Borland”, pointing out the questionable claims of the original resolution. Although this was a controversial repeal, Noah’s hard work ensured that it would pass, with 58.9% support. Fantastic job!
~Rounding out XKI’s excellent work in the WA this month was HumanSanity. Following a raid on the passworded region The Embassy, HS quickly pushed “Liberate The Embassy” to vote in the Security Council. With broad support from many small delegates and individual nations, the resolution passed with 69.5% support. Congratulations and thank you HS!

XKI Game-Side

A regional poll by Jabberwocky asked Islanders which of a variety of movie villains would make the best parent. Most Islanders weren’t particularly impressed by any of the villains parenting skills and chastised poor Jabber for being insensitive. Those willing to disregard the problems of villain parents, however, decided that Emperor Palpatine would make the best dad.

The RMB was filled with playful banter this month:

~Another month bites the dust!
~And...and?!?!
~Kyle and his hole?
~Z-Day has come early.
~Doctor Who?
~No no, it’s cursed.
~Likely story. I want name, rank, and, Bank Balance.
~Unlimited voting Power!
~Old Folks and their lawns.
~An excellent translation!

Poet Laureate Competition

With February, came the LinkPoet Laureate Contest. Islanders submitted poems, this time centered on the themes of courage and bravery, which were then voted upon by the region. Aersoldorf’s humorous poem, was chosen as the contest’s winner.

‘Twas long ago, both cold and dark,
The sun had slipped away,
Patrons thru my door had come,
To hide until the day.

Good food, strong drink and tales provide,
Distraction from their fear,
Yet laughing eyes can scarce disguise,
The knowledge that Death’s near.

The TITO boys were making noise,
A’boasting of past deeds,
As stronger ales make stronger tales,
They’d all been in their meads.

Kanta cleared his throat and said,
That he was bravest, true,
“While you were kicking raiders butts,
I kicked their mamas too”

Kort’s Korner did erupt in sound,
Knights spewed their drinks, guffawed,
Up through the floor came Shelter’s ghost,
The patrons silent, awed.

“I hear ye making crazy claims,
I’ve come to set you straight,
Titanica, the bravest knight,
Would use you for cut bait,

Yet even he, the noblest knight,
Was filled with doubt and dread,
When from the sand a monster plucked,
Its fearsome, fishy, head.

Halibostrichus vampiricus,
Part vampire, fish and bird,
Grub gumbo turned and ran so fast,
A sonic boom was heard,

For 80 days and nights they ran,
No respite, no time out,
When out of breath, the knight did stop,
And turn himself about,

I beg of thee my mortal foe,
A toast to death let’s chug,
But Hakke smiled and said no thanks,
I chased you for a hug.”

RP: The End of the Night

As the night around the Demiran desert comes to an end and the sun rises, the old Imperiumi suddenly finds itself in shambles as most of the Rekken Imperial Guard have defected to rally in St. Verimaa, Ruvenia. As the old RIG personnel organize into a formation under the balcony of the old Federal Demiran Parliamentary building along the men and women of the Ruvenian independence movement a lady begins her speech. She promises Ruvenian rulership. She promises security. She proclaims the 3rd Imperial Federation of Demira. Her name? Karita Kyllikki Stormberg- The leader of the Ruvenian Independence Movement, the Queen of Ruvenian Queendom and the Grand Matriach of the 3rd Demiran Federation.
Unlike during the failed attempt on overtaking the Fiefdom Unificate, this time her attack would be planned and decisive. With no real opposition in the South and the North she would assume temporary power in the states of Rekkenia, Ameria, Perelevia, Miri and Pari and absolute leadership over the area of Qerro-Ruvenia leaving this time the workers of Ömegä, Fokkenia, Demoria and Silver Walley to stay loyal to Rekken and her Empress Sievi I, resisting the coup. As the Ruvenian armed forces would begin their march towards the scrambling worker's militias hastily forming in the territories loyal to Rekken, the Grand Matriach would contact The Nationalist League requesting to join them in order to call them to arms against the fleeting Imperiumi and to ensure the Ruvenian- no. The Demiran victory.

RP: Into the night

As Hemlock, unwanted in Rekken being the nephew of Esolda, would pay an unexpected visit to the Empress, the Empress with her guards would be ambushed by the the assassin known as "The Cleaver". As an aftermath of the attack six RIG soldiers are dead and the Empress has been chased after into the dark alleys of Demonnian night without her mechanical arm. Meanwhile in Sharpana, a rogue RIG group has immobilized and captured the inhabitants of the Pirunkartano estate, Duchess Rose Von Braun (Sievi's daughter), her children and Karz Von Braun (Sievi's husband).
Many similar attacks by rogue RIG personnel and "thugs" have been reported and with many of the high-ranking RIG generals either assassinated recently or missing, the response has been weak.
With Empress Sievi lost into the night and many of the state leaders captured by the RIG the Imperiumi of Rekken awakes into a chaos.

Extraordinary meeting in Aurora in Forbidden Palace. With all the Members of the High Government.

Shogun Yashi suggests that action should be taken immediedly with an Preemptive Strategic Missile Strike in coming Conflict. But Marshall Hemlock the Minister of War notes that the Shinist Reaction and World Reaction will see Icewindia as highly aggressive and may potentially kill millions of Holy People. Recommendation is an Conventional Conflict in which they think they could take Fokkenia in 7 days to a few months. Icewindian Category "A" units in Western Icewindia is maintained at Full Combat readiness at all times. They could attack within just a few hours. King Regent Wallace thinks diplomatic channels and maintaining neutrality is best course. But the majority of the War Cabinet fear this could uncover extensive preparations. Yugi Molotov, the minister of Foreign Affairs thinks that Socialist-Monarchy success is improbable. But Rekken Actions were highly aggressive, heretical and they will attack sooner or later should they succeed. So, better to attack first.

The Decision is taken. It will be War. Marshall Hemlock Winter, cheif of the Icewindian Armed Forces is given the Order to Invade Rekken. This is Considered an Holy War.

All the Icewindian units are on the move. Air Assault Brigades are taken by Transport Planes and civil Aeroflot planes. Icewindian Navy lead by Admiral Catherine begins to move out with 20,000 Marines in Landing Ships come in Tow. Two Icewindian Missile Submarines armed with Medium Ballistic Missiles begin to move southwest into Deepwater hiding positions. Icewindian tanks begin to move to the Rekken Border.

"Rekkenism, Shinism, Esperism, what ever you would like to call it, is in one of its greatest threats in decades." - Prime Minister Alaz Jakson

Watching events unfold in Rekken, King Galiva knew he was't going stand by and watch the holy land go into collapse. The senate debated for hours, which side should they support? After a final decision was met, Nonadia sent a deal to, the Imperium of Rekken. The deal stated that Nonadia would support them so long that they stop Sievi's intrusion into Shinism. If Sievi continues her intrusion, then Nonadia has threatened to support Demira. 1,000 C-1 "Ukko" tanks are being mobilized and around 200,000 more troops are also being mobilized. Missile cruisers move into the Letanrica, enforcing that Nonadian intervention will happen at one time or another.

Military bases in Icewindia begin immediate construction due to the war in Rekken, and Nonadia accepts the request of Icewindia building bases in Point Lovin Islands. Although Nonadia wishes to aid the Imperium, several members of the Third Imperial Armed Forces' High Command have come out against it, believing that it could lead to souring relations with the rest of the NL. Nevertheless, King Galiva keeps his deal and awaits a response.

With the return of the CIS Agents revealing the total extent of the major gains made by Demira against their foes; General in Chief Dresden has begun to march his army south and join in the fight against remaining Sievi Loyalists. As Blayredeshian Fighters and Bombers fly overhead, Blayredeshian T-90 Tanks would thunder through the Floreden Pass and into the Miri Valley followed by a legion of marching soldiers. The General in Chief has sent envoys ahead of him to coordinate military actions with with the Demiran Military although he suggests that the Expeditionary Force from Woleve Atraland break off from the 6th Army and help the Demirans on a separate front of the War given their great numbers.

Samilo Ezrael, considering General Hill's request, meets with the higher ups of the Nationalist movement to discuss it. During the discussion which gradually evolved into a debate, there were two clear factions; Those who thought General Hill should lead the combined forces, and those who thought the leadership should return to Ezrael or another Windardian military officer. During this meeting, no clear consensus was made. Ezrael requests Hill withdraw the forces from Askody while his request is analyzed.

RP: Forcing a Hand
General Hill; being thoroughly fed up with the interference of what he calls “political generals playing bureaucracy instead of army”, has attempted to usurp control of the Nationalist Army in Windardia and has sent word to Ezrael saying: “Tell the Generals of your Staff that I am in control of this Army now and will win this war for them whether they appreciate it or not.” It has become clear that General Hill intends on trying to outflank the Socialists and Concordaians by marching to Kempten and drawing them out into an open fight where he can have the advantage of numbers and crush them. Meanwhile, the Blayredeshians continue to press their air supremacy by targeting bombing runs on Kempten itself and the Socialist Army.

RP: Keski-Kalranian Kaarti

After the initial victory against Mawostok's militia near Rekken City and the later defeat at the southern Rekkenian line of defense the Ruvenian armed forces as they were temporarily know would regroup on the Ömegän planes and re-organized would officially get their new name- Keski-Kalranian Kaarti (K-KKa) (Common: Central-Kalranian Guard or CKG)
While the CKG would regroup on the Para Steppe readying themselves to assault the poorly armed Rekkenian lines, North Fokkenia would be occupied as most of the local resistance would be nowhere to be found. CKG recon would however soon inform the the main force of a very large, well armed Rekkenian convoy near Lake Aimi moving North-West towards the Rekken-occupied Ömegä. Seeing this as a strong re-enforcement for the Rekkenians, the Miri sector of the CKG is ordered to fill in for a part of the main force so the part of the main force could intercept the convoy- an order they would take up as it would be heard.

On another front, on the Ömegän plains, the encamped CKG Front Line Force would be struck by a surprise raid from the side of the desert. Not much else is known of the attacker other than the group carrying out the raid would be very small and would've caused damage to the engine blocks of multiple armored vehicles alongside destroying an infantry ammo cache.

Meanwhile the Grand Matriach Stormberg would hear good news from her diplomat in Miri regarding TNL- the Demiran Federation would apparently be likely formally be accepted into TNL within the next couple of days with Blayredeshian and Woleve Atralandian troops at ready to help the CKG break the Rekkenian defenses.

After raiding a CKG front line camp on her way, the Empress would manage to return to her people fiercely defending against the uprising in Ömegä. She would be welcomed as a demigod- Truly with her arm restored the gods would be on her side. Sievi would quickly learn of the situation from the escaped Paran Duchess and receive the Nonadian offer of intervention given by the King. This is an offer she would accept with a promise to if necessary force the local temples to drop the Demigod title from their holy texts and masses.
With her re-discovered powers of localized heat manipulation (Being able to cause extreme heat in an area of 20x20x20cm on the radius of 300m) and rapid physical healing (both causing exhaustion if overused) she would enlist on backline duty, hunting guerrillas and recon troops while her newly organized "Pirun Nyrkki" armed force, even though consisting of old RIG worker reserves, would be holding the line. (Note: Every Rekkenian have gone through 6-12 months of military training consisting of basic training (handling a weapon, basic tactics and movement) and a specialization (e.g. tanker, artilleryman, pioneer, jaeger etc.))

RP: The Fokkenians

Barely avoiding CKG force sent after them, with a distraction detachment, the Fokkenian convoy assisted by artillery fire from the defensive side would pierce the CKG's front line's back, letting the better trained Fokkenian forces join the rest of the Rekkenian loyalists in Ömegä. This would bring up the armor-piercing capabilities of the RIG greatly as the convoy would include a good amount of both modernized Esper Tank-Destroyers and the completely new Pirun Kirves MBT's.

The Imperial Ministry of War relayed a letter back to Ezrael stating:
“The Emperor does not care for the petty squables of Windardian politics. Either you give in to Hill’s demands, compromise and agree to comply with his orders in an assault on Kempten to capture the Socialist capital, or Blayredeshia shall withdraw all military assets from Windardia.” Meanwhile, General Hill has pointed out to the protesting Nationalist soldiers that the bombing runs on Kempten have only been focused on military assets in the city and that according to his reports “Civilian areas will always remain untouched.” In a follow up speech General Hill issued an address to the Windardian Nationalists saying: “Brothers in the Crusade against Communism! Your politicians are selling you out and refuse to let us liberate Kempten from the Communists! We lost the last battle because your political generals refuse to set aside internal politics. Either you all sit back and let the Socialists conquer you or you can come with me to liberate Kempten!”

Of Course Regent King Wallace calls upon TNL To Resolve this very serious issue. Citing that Nonadia broke Charter by Attempting to Support a Socialist Nation and undermining its allies. However Regent King Wallace doesn't call Nonadia's actions Treason as he hopes to Keep Nonadia in TNL and hopes this Incident will be resolved. Yet at the same time he is very Serious about a Possible War between Icewindia and Nonadia should they not back down.

RP:Forming Up
The 700,000 members of the Expeditionary Forces combined with the roughly 200,000 Air Cavalry begin moving to join up with the CKG, preparing for an assault. It is expected the assault will go exceptionally well for the Solar Crusaders as the main doctrine of the military is steppe and plains warfare, with extensive training on the coastal plains that sprawl across Atraland. The Air Cavalry have been afforded roughly 150 Wraith XC Attack Helicopters to aide in the assault, hoping that with enough force the assault will be a short one. As the troops begin movements, the aircraft stationed in southwest Atraland begin regular flights over Rekken with roughly 500 Sia 35 Seraphim jets assigned to gaining dominance of the air. To aide in the war to control the air, 236 IRBM and SRBMs are fired at various airbases and troop garrisons across Rekken, using info gathering by spy planes and satellites to guide the missiles and hopefully cripple multiple targets. As for the navy, the 40 warships, 4 carriers and 1 super carrier have arrived at the mouth of the sea of Pontricare and have set to blockading it, ensuring that no Rekkenian trade will pass, as well as launching regular long distance missions to control the airspace.

Woleve Atraland wrote:RP: A Survey of Slaves
During the bloody ethnoreligious conflict that was the Fourth Atralandian Civil War, hundreds of thousands of ethnic minorities from the Slozvek and Akzvanian communities were kidnapped by the Imperial Army and forced to work as slaves in factories across the nation to build arms and ammo. It seems that following the end of the conflict, these minorities were more or less forgotten about, with the factories no longer being funded or guarded, but to leave the factories meaning certain death at the hands of the Solis Imperium for the slaves as it genocided minorities across the nation, it seems that the ethnic minorities set up hidden communities in the abandoned wartime factories. This was discovered when a member of the Department of Internal Security assigned to crime analysis realized a pattern of unusually high petty crime rates around old industrial parks from the civil war, leading to an investigation by him that revealed old documents stating the factories were to be abandoned, but never actually mentioning what was to happen to the slaves inside. Looking through old armament ledgers, it has been deduced that about 30,000 slaves were likely executed, as the forces guarding them requisitioned extra ammo following the order to abandon the factories, however at roughly 800 locations with a total estimated 442,000 slaves, it seems they were just left there. Following this, a small-scale investigation was launched in tandem with the Solis Imperium Marshalls that uncovered secret communities of Slozveks and Akzvanians at 436 of the roughly 800 locations, with a total population of about 134,000 men women, and children. It appears after the abandoning of the factories, some tried to flee and likely died at the hands of the Imperial Army as it purged minorities, with purge ledgers showing a significant amount of Slozveks and Akzvanians being captured near the industrial parks, far superseding the pre-civil war ledgers on how many Slozveks and Akzvanians inhabited the area, while other factories show signs that the people inside simply starved, with multiple cases that apparently show inner conflicts between the Slozveks and Akzvanians using whatever weapons and ammo were abandoned mid-construction at the factories shortly before mass starvation set in. At the aforementioned 436 locations, small communities apparently formed, with an average of about 300 members per location, they seem to have survived by cannibalism long enough to eventually sustain themselves on petty theft and small-scale farming once the purge of minorities had ended. As of now, all members of these hidden communities have been arrested and the factories seized by the Solis Imperium Marshalls, with the Sol Invictus yet to comment on what will become of the 134,000 minorities arrested.

RP: Formation of Slozvekkania
Following the news of the arrests, the city-states of Slozvechino and Akzvania, located within Kemonomica and following the Fourth Atralandian Civil War receiving independence from the mainland of Atraland, have today voted to form the Confederated Union of Slozvekkania, a nation of equal representation of both minority groups to streamline negotiations with Woleve Atraland. The government is currently lead by a council of five representatives until proper elections can be held to vote on a leader. The newly formed nation has made demands for Woleve Atraland to deport the 134,000 minorities recently arrested to Slozvekkania and has asked Kemonomica to act as a mediator between Slozvekkania and Atraland.

RP: choices: Secret to all except Rekken and Kynthes

After a secretive vote in Parliament, there has been a final decision on Qatarmar's position regarding the war in Rekken, Qatamarian Federal forces would stay militarily neutral, but were honor bound to provide aid to Sieve's faction as she is viewed as the rightful heir. However, despite there being no official military action by the national government, local ones and tribes and factions are authorized to militarily intervene, on authorization by the Sievi faction of Rekken. An urgent request has been sent Kynthes, requesting aid in the form of weapons and supplies as well as an alliance and defensive pact. A secret message has been dispatched to both groups informing them of this decision.

It was only months after the peace treaty was signed and the elections not far off that under the cover of night the Blayredeshians began secretly importing a new breed of soldier to The gatisland. These were men who wore white uniforms though would often ditch them for regular civilian clothing to lay low and catch their unsuspecting prey. These men were of the Confederate Intelligence Service and were more specifically sent by the CIS to gather lists of names and identities of men and women who had committed past crimes under Federationist rule such as "Supporting politically liberal social policies, supporting degeneracy, advocating for communism, and committing abominations against God" These, of course, were all what the Blayredeshians labelled them as though it wasn't hard to figure out what some of them really meant. For now, the CIS Agents were simply gathering names and making their lists. But soon enough they would be carrying out what many assume to be a White Terror. Meanwhile, Karloff has instructed his men to pour over whatever military records from the PAP and Dubois that could provide information on any unaccounted for militias and militants who may still be lurking out in the wilderness.

RP: The home front (Secret, except for Blayredeshia)
The new government, per it's obligations in the treaty of Mountasier, begins assisting CIS forces in it's investigation. It also creates a joint task force to coordinate the two groups in their goals. While there have been a few rumours flying around of strange individuals with Blayredeshian accents, the fact that many Blayredeshian forces and officials remain in the country combined with propaganda has managed to largely quell them.

RP: Civic Duty
As the nation recovers from the pain and toils of the civil war, the unity government presses on with the organization of national elections. These elections have much on the line, with the civil war, any faction who gains control will have an impressive mandate and ability to reshape the domestic and international affairs of the nation. However the devastation and uncertainty threatens to scuttle plans at any moment. With most of the country under direct control save for a few isolated groups of hamlets and sections of the bush, the green light has been given for elections within 2 weeks. The legistlative elections will be held under a mixed member proportional system with universal suffrage for all above 17, as it was under the PAP. Several parties have already joined the fray, including Mesny's Rally for Patriotic Reform and Marrast's newly renamed National Republican Movement as well as several minor and regional parties. The main attraction however is the election for the executive branch. Under the rules of the newly unsealed agreement between the NRM and Mesny, which founded the ultimately founded the victorious Augustine Junta, for this time only shall be different. In the first election only, the winner of the presidental election will be handed the powers of the presidency, while the runner up shall win the vice presidency. The only people able to muster the popular support to win either of them will be Mesny and Marrast so the election is seen as a referendum for which of the two major national parties shall come out on top. The stakes are high and many wait with bated breath to see whose vision shall be given prominence in the new Gatisia.

Revan would look with a more amused face than usual and then would say

Revan: "She is not an insect, she is Ȳgyrbȳrur, the Great Butterfly. Godess of Peace and Balance, one of the 5 Kāmagākta, our living gods. They do not belong to nature per se, they feed on a stone only found in certain caves and once every a few centuries they go to the caves to regain energy, as of now we are in the 24th cycle of Hybernation and Awakening. Also its the year 5458 (2142) for us, just to keep in mind"

One of the soldiers on the sauropods would shout from his mount:

Soldier: "The Horde of the Ňōmdzōgdzōt Kamvēnkēr is here!"

Revan would look in the distance and in the Steppes would indeed be seen a trail of 50m long sauropods, pareiasaurians, direhorses, people and more, it wasn't a normal horde, it was the horde following the Lord and most powerful magic user of all the nation. It seemed to be heading on an eastwards direction, back to the original lands of the Shaman-King and his tribe. A figure on a Direhorse would appear to them, he had a staff in hand and a sabre on his belt, and said:

Dōrōko: "I am Dōrōko of Že, cousin of the Ňōmdzōgdzōt, please, accompany me"

After Dōrōko appeared, Revan and his companions then began the return to their original post on the West of the Nation, slowly fading to the horizon.

RP: Enchanted

The Athejians would wave their farewells to their previous escorts before following Doroko. Catarina would look between Luna and Marina, they didn't say a word yet they all knew what each was thinking. The presence of these so-called gods would warrant a thorough investigation of the country and even perhaps an appearance by the Seraphim herself when they finally delivered their reports. They all rolled their eyes, it would mean that it would be quite some time before they could go home. Catarina would reluctantly urge her steed forward.

Catarina: "Carry on Doroko, and we shall follow."

Seeing the delicate situation Schwypia has been in recently in the past few years, and overcoming their Civil War, the Republic decided to...do something. They offer to establish diplomatic missions and establishing of Embassies as well as trade agreements, in particular, the Republic selling excess unwanted energy the Republic has produced to Schwypia.

RP: New Diplomatic Relationships

The Schwypian governments of yore have always looked to their eastern neighbor with a sense of mystery. Schwypia has never gotten to know the Werewolf Islands, despite their close proximity, but Prime Minister Alois Hethwyr has decided to change this. He accepts the Republic's wish to establish embassies and agrees to buying the excess energy, so long as it confines to Schwypia's National Energy Law, which values clean, renewable energy sources over the use of fossil fuels. So long as the energy is solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, or any other clean/renewable source, Schwypia will be glad to buy it.

At the same time as this, Schwypia looks north to the communities in The Atomic Schism. The land is also one veiled in mystery and many rumors exist about the region. Schwypia will send a delegation to the nation and asks to bolster communication between the two states with the prospect of "bringing the Eastern Nations into a closer, friendlier state of affairs."
