After catching word of the elections across the pond in Basaran the Confederate Intelligence Service's interest was peaked by the Totalist Party and its candidate Charles Mannfred. The CIS has thus decided to begin investigating these Totalists and their ideology which while economically left could be seen as beneficial to the Confederacy's interests depending on their social beliefs. As of now the CIS is simply trying to gather as much information as possible on this intriguing party.

[Public Knowledge]
Totalists are a smaller wildcard party that believes the Syndicalist revolution isn't finished until the world is unified under the ideology. They support heavier interventionism, often in the form of direct contact, espionage, and subterfuge.

[Hidden Knowledge]
The totalist ideology would remove much of the republican aspects and create a dictatorship by suspension clauses during times of war, which would be until every last nation is ideologically compatible. They are heavily nationalistic, believing that Basaran still hasn't been restored to its former strength and that this current monopoly of "traditional syndicalists" to be complacent with a regional presence. Should they win, would create over a hundred "Total Ideological Global War" casus bellis, even against those in relatively good standings. "Only fellow syndicalists, TRUE syndicalists are friends."

RP: The Trip to Etrius

After the meeting with Roses figure in Rekken, She has informed Natalia she is on her way to Etrius. Stating the ships won't be necessary and that the flight should be enough to get her there.

((this part is for Rekken only))

Rose would ponder if her decision was right. Feeling bad but happy she had reunited with the last remaining family she has. She would form a rose in her hand and play with the petals, her whole flight to Etrius

RP: Unknown Sorrow (Secret to all but Archron Empire)

Having met her last remaining child first time in years and learning of her husband's death, the former Empress of Rekken, Sievi Molotow, nowadays going by the name of Reijotar Suomaa, would leave the Sandy Kitten tavern in a state of relief and sorrow. For the next couple weeks the Duchy of Alffa would be lead by a temporary leadership due to "the Duchess suddenly falling ill". In reality she would be mourning her husband's death and testing different red contact lenses in her left eye, which had it's pupil turn bright, almost glowing yellow upon hearing of her husbands death.

RP: Nothing to see here, Move on.

multiple large convoys of rocket artillery trucks are moving to position on the luwuian coastline with 10k Luwuian Naval Infantrymen preparing for a naval invasion of nonadia. Preparations should be completed within 4 weeks.

RP: Declaration of War

The Third Empire has announced war with the Soviet state of Luwuia. The Third Luwuian War has begun. Around 250k troops are already mobilized from last year, with around 750k being mobilized in 2132, to combine to a million troops ready for combat. The 250k troops begin operations to defend the islands while the Nonadian economy moves completely to a wartime state. Around 200 N-79 bombers are coming to support the other N-79 bombers in Luwuia to defend from the Luwuian bombers. The Nonadian task force near the Alingarch [insert german name] Task Force begins to move into Luwuian waters to prepare for an all out stalemate, but this time, in Luwuian waters. Nonadia places a claim on a piece Luwuian land recognizing it as Old Kinslandia, as it was once historically Nonadian land (its that tile that i owned during the first luwuian war). Operations are drawn up to invade the section of land so the world has to recogonize it as Nonadian land.

300 Missiles are launched at the so called Nonadian land to enforce the claim, while the 1 million troops being mobilized are planned to launch an invasion into the claimed land.

RP: Withdrawing

With the Third Luwuian War beginning, it is the perfect time for the 600k troops in Conglagateia to be withdrawn. The POW's are taken as factory workers to build guns, planes, and tanks for the Luwuian war. The 600k troops meet up with the 250k in Nonadia to help plan an invasion of Luwuia as the Nonadian task force holds off Luwuia.

RP: King Galiva is crowned

As per tradition, the new monarch of Nonadia is crowned three months after the dead or abdication of the previous monarch. King Galiva Javk has been officially crowned King as heir to the throne of Queen Lovin ll, having big shoes to fill. As he sat on the throne, expectations for him were high as the bar had been set high due to his Aunt.

RP: buy more tanks

The Third Imperial Army requests to buy 200 M-8 Challenger tanks from Artaecus as the Third Luwuian War has broken out.

RP: capitalism

The dire situation of the economy and the mass spending of the government has led many people to think capitalism is the way out. King Galiva has officially abolished socialism and the private industry is now legal. The government Industrial Board has been disbanded and the formerly government owned Nonake Technologies, one of the biggest companies in Nonadia, has been released from the government. The economy sees success from this as well as the lowering of taxes as the government no longer needs to pay for socialism.

RP: hmst

King Galiva requests to meet with Empress Anita to hopefully renew the previous relations Nonadia had with Rekken.

RP: Yes

The Evacasian Red Cross is allowed into Nonadia, and the Red Cross will be allowed to freely move around Nonadia and any occupied territory it may hold during the war.

Etrius wrote:RP: Get them in touch
The Dushkari garrison is admittedly out of touch with most other overseas assigned forces due to limited infrastructure in the country and wouldn't want to startle them with what rumors they have heard. Land lines in the base are offered to the sailors to call home and find out for themselves as well as inform their families of their whereabouts. Updates and reports of the situation are relayed up the chain of command.

RP: Welcome, Princess
The crew of the luxury ship typically used for diplomatic missions and carrying the head of state abroad, the 'Hospitality' welcomes the Kaiserin aboard when her escort arrives and has the small flotilla turn around homeward.

Rose is shown her living quarters for the trip, which are Natalia's own as per her orders. An apartment complete with kitchen, living room, bathroom, attached bedroom, as well as internet and satellite cable access. A note on the island of the kitchen reads simply, 'Enjoy and see you soon'.

RP: Watching closely
With the crisis between Icewindia and Kiamai resolved for the time being, the reinforcement units are disassembled and sent back to base. But this has prompted defense planners to look more closely at the region's local threats to stability and the appropriate countermeasures. First General and Heir apparent to the Silver Throne, Saleem Kavorah, especially is concerned by the possibility of open conflict so close to friendly borders after already having to contend with a proven hostile force in the Luwuian government to the northeast. The general will be in touch with Comarakan leadership at their convenience to discuss future planning for such a crisis.

RP: Renegotiations were short
A video call between Hemlock and Natalia has resulted in a renegotiation of the positioning of Etrian troops to a Deijan coastal fortress overlooking the bay into the city. Engineers will be dispatched to begin reviewing the fort's prospect for housing a modern army and defending itself should it become necessary.

Though on a personal level, The queen will be hesitant to do business with Catherine if her negotiations are to be made so lightly. All trade and diplomacy is to be differed to Hemlock moving forward

Forces deployed to Deijan fortress:
4,000 men
25 MBT's

Hemlock after doing the deal heads out to finish some other meetings.

Rekken wrote:RP: Invitation- Secret to all but Archron Empire

A letter would be sent to Rose once again delivered by a private courier. This time however it would simply say:

"Meet me in Piste, in the Sandy Kitten tavern on 6.6. at 23:00. I'll be at the back left corner.

RP: Invitation
Empress Anita agrees on Hemlock's suggestion of a meeting in Sharpana, however informs him a visit to the Red Tomb is not possible due to an ongoing investigation of an attempted grave robbery. The meeting is arranged to take place in a cafe known as "Sirppilinna" in Sharpana city center. Increased security will be present in the meeting due to Icewindia's past words.

RP: WHAT!

Hemlock simply nods and agrees to these arrangements however Hemlock calls.... It seems Whoever Messed with Sievi's Grave is going to get a BAD TIME.

Emperor Hemlock suggests Duchess of the Region attend as well since he doesn't recall there being an Alffa Province in Historical Records he would hope the Duchess of Allffa explain to him what these people are and if they are New. Plus he would love to get to know all the Duchesses and Dukes of the Region anyway.

Basaran wrote:RP: Election Year in Basaran
For the past decade, the Syndicalist Union has been thriving under the Presidency of Trinity Faux through the expansion of trade deals, with several more in the works. However, this marks the final year of her presidency after 2 successful terms. In her place, a small gathering of replacements have stepped up to the podium to take her spot:

Syndicalist Party: Adrienna Benze
Totalist Party: Charles Mannfred
Shared Basar Feast: Veryn Klügel
Radical Socialist: Henrietta Devon

Totalists support the centralization of the syndicalist state until the world revolution comes to a close.
Shared Basar Feast supports the shift to complete equality and abolition of money and the state as a republic in favor of direct democracy.
Radical Socialists claim that the nation needs to shift back to its more moderate roots if it is to stand ground in the world of right-wing extremism.

RP: Breif Meeting.

Hemlock requests an meeting with Radical Socialist Leader the meeting will take place in an Helicopter where two can talk and enjoy Scenery on coast. Hemlock wants to talk about the Future of Basaran and Icewindian Relations with Henrietta Devon.

Rumors quickly spread about a supposed meeting between Radical Socialist candidate Henrietta Devon and Icewindian leader Hemlock. This rumor was later confirmed during press conference where she had this to say:
"I met a strange man. A giant of blue with the personality of a confused pufferfish. This meeting was, in hindsight, a risky thing that put my position as a presidential candidate in a compromised state. Fortunately, for all involved, no sort of agreement was reached, nor was anything of any use discussed. All in all, the only thing I can say is that I met a confused blue pufferfish..."

Post self-deleted by Blayredeshia.

The gatisland wrote:RP: Anger behind the lines
Mesny and Marrast have reacted to the announcement of "cleansing Gatisia" by criticizing parts of the plan as "misguided and ineffective", claiming that while communist influence should be purged, it cannot be done by deliberately killing civilians whose killings will only inspire more resistance after the conflict ends though supporting the no-go zone no-fly zones and. Offering to have officials mediate between aid groups and league forces to give them access but not too much and to make sure videos aren't taken of positions.

RP: Escape!
A group identifying themselves as the "Dublé Besieged Citizen's Council" emerged from the basement of a small mechanic's shop at the edge of the city walls and were quickly discovered by a group of Blayredeshian and NRM soldiers, the 400 strong crowd claimed to have tunneled their way out of the city to escape Dubois and the heavy fighting, a claim that was confirmed by the large hole dug into the basement wall. In an attempt to avoid the harsh treatment that civilians hitherto received by Blayredeshian forces, they are attempting to Bargain with local commanders. Their offer is simple, they will allow the Blayredeshians to use the tunnel to funnel forces through it into the city in exchange for freedom of movement and being able to dodge slaughter or imprisonment, if no they will collapse the tunnel making it unusable. So far local commanders have shown interest but are now deferring to superiors in the Blayredeshian army and NRM before making a decision.

RP: Losing ground
The recent offensive by the Blayredeshians has seen more success than previously expected. Duboisian forces found themselves largely pushed back across the front as the combined arms of Blayredeshian operation snuffed out large portions of existing defenses and make recovery of them near-impossible. The bombing had a heavier effect as the previous ones had already left many defenses on weak legs and many buildings vulnerable to collapse with the latest round exposing several underground trench lines and collapsing many key buildings in the Duboisian defenses. Heavy street to street fighting ensued after the bombing ceased but the better weapons of nationalist forces (particularly the use of artillery and mortar strikes) and with the local intel from Nationalist informants seems to have won the day as Dubois' army retreated from 5 sub districts they were occupying after consistently taking casualties from the air and ground with their forces only occupying 33% of the southern district now after being slowly pushed out in successive offensives. In response Dubois to these "setbacks" as he calls them, Dubois has issued "Directive no.12" also known as the "no step back order" which has greatly increased both the penalty for desertion and the powers of information officers to enforce these penalties if they see soldiers attempting to desert as well as forbidding future retreats or fall backs. Though the day has been won, this recent escalation shows the battle is far from over.

RP: Tunnelling
After caving into the pressure from the NRM and the Mesnyists; the Blayredeshians have backed down from their policy of "cleansing Duble" and have also subsequently allowed the 400 strong groups of civilians to leave the city. After letting the civilians pass the Blayredeshians have decided to redirect veterans from their Native Gatisian Free State Volunteer Militias to begin making their way into the tunnels and conduct a surprise attack on the Duboisan positions while the Blayredeshian Army maintains pressure on the front-line.
RP: Buying Time
To give the Free Staters time to make their way through the tunnels and into the inner city and to test the tensions in Dubois' corner of the city; the Blayredeshians have temporarily halted their advance and bombings of the Duboisan positions and have brought out speakers to broadcast a message offering "shelter and bread" to any Duboisan who abandons Duble and surrenders to the Nationalists. General Karloff intends to keep a close eye on what occurs on the front and in Dubois' territory once the offer is broadcasted as it may offer to incite into the morale of the Duboisans if not completely destabilize their forces.

While the Confederacy is not as agreeable with the Totalists on economic terms the Confederate Intelligence Service's interest has been peaked by the Totalist's nationalist rhetoric which the CIS has taken as a sign that these nationalist syndicalists may be more akin to Blayredeshia in terms of social policy. As a result, agents of the CIS have reached out to the Totalists to set up a meeting between CIS Agents and Totalist Party representatives to discuss a possible mutual agreement between the two entities.

With news of the declaration of war between Nonadia and Luwuia the Blayredeshian Fleet has begun preparing for battle with the anti-ship missile systems of the Blayredeshian Warships being loaded, tested, and prepared for engagement. The Blayredeshian Fleet under Grand Admiral Michael Horn consists of 150 Warships, 15 submarines, and 5 aircraft carriers that house 90 jets each which amounts to a total of 450 multirole jets; given that these jets are multirole jets and not fighter jets they will be equipped to carry our medium-sized payloads for bombings but will be slower than a normal fighter jet. It is estimated the Blayredeshians are only 2 weeks away.
RP: Congratulations
The Blayredeshian Imperial Ministry of State has officially issued congratulations to King Galiva on his ascension as King although still expressing condolences for the passing of Queen Lovin. The Ministry of State has made an offer to set up a meeting between King Galiva and Imperial Minister of State Joachim von Krupp and possibly Emperor Blayre IV who at the moment is waiting for the peace process in Conglagateia to complete before returning home with his troops. The Imperial Ministry of Trade has also expressed interest in negotiating a trade agreement with Nonadia to mutually lower tariffs on one another's goods given that there are many private Blayredeshian companies eager to get into the Nonadian market.

RP: Security
The Lirana government has in recent years begun a crackdown on payments given by the government to those unemployed by state or private industry. Under the new measures, those not marked as actively seeking work or without an approved reason will be removed from the programme, with the official government statement being that ‘While we understand the struggles some may be going through at this time, it does not make logical sense to pay those healthy people choosing to remain at home without job seeking government money, which could be better spent elsewhere.

This statement has caused outrage, particularly in the Northern island city of Lyansk. There, high unemployment rates combined with a lack of natural resources has lowered the average income to around $40,000, almost $30,000 lower than the national average. As such, many people rely on money granted by the state, and the change would affect them hugely.

Despite this, the response has been overly popular, with the Prime Ministers popularity rating rocketing from around 45% to 67% in a matter of a couple of weeks.

The movement of the $105,000,000,000 meant to go to those now removed from the program is unknown, however a number of schools and hospitals around the country have been sinking money into large projects in upgrading technology and structures, especially in the North, where schools in Corcillia, Vientiane, Litovsk and Artavsk have all purchased new computer equipment.

*Sigh*

The hours seemed to crawl today, slowly trickling away as the sun made his round over the skies of Lahonas.

Perhaps this, more than anything else, is what she found most intolerable about her job. Reams of paperwork and documents, a thousand pages from a hundred names on a dozen subjects that she wished never again she would have to read. She always had a thirst for knowledge, to assemble with her faculties a better construct of the world, one to refine and reforge in the fires of wisdom and knowledge. But page 7 on "The Market Consequences of Evacasian Goods on the Antenesian Economy, Utilizing Several Different Projections Assuming Varying Tariff Rates" was hardly efficient fuel for those flames.

Her reading was interrupted by a shadow falling on her wooden desk and strewn parchment, the clouds above intervening on her behalf to break her gaze from the paper. She looked out from her ornately woven wicker chair, through the young glass of her humble, newly built presidential homestead.

She could see the sinking sun, above the palms and over the ocean to her west. Although she was on the lagoon side of Paraba, the less than a mile width of the islets still granted her a pleasant gaze to the western waters, spared from the busy traffic of the port in the east.

Observing the azure beginning to fade and blossom gold, she shifted a bit, then quickly got up from her chair, moving to the exit of her office.

Hardly a step was taken, however, before she returned to her seat, lightheadedness taking hold. Elderly as she already was, she had aged quickly over the past three years of being president. Her wrinkles were thicker now, hair wispier, senses weaker. Were it not for her genes, diet and routine strolls, she dreaded what state she'd be in. She chuckled; six feet under, no doubt.

Giving herself a few seconds to readjust, she rose again, slowly this time. Grabbing her trusty cane from its resting spot at the side of the desk, she informed her personal guard of her plans and made her way out the door. As she did, a hot and sticky air welcomed her, the familiar embrace of the tropical clime she had known her whole life. In the past, the indoors would have little contrast from the wider world, save a dampened breeze and shelter from the sun and rain. The Antenesian government had taken it upon themselves to add air conditioning to the home, however, and she'd be lying if she said she didn't turn the dial down every now and then. Call it her guilty pleasure.

Rounding the back of the home, she would spot an additional guardsmen, resting under a cluster of palms.

"Good evening, Captain."

"Madam President! Taking an evening stroll?"

"Not quite, I'm headed to eastern Lahonas, and it would seem I require a vessel to ferry me."

The captain would smile, "Why of course. I'll have the boat ready in a moment for you, Mrs. Onahōtū."

The captain would stand up, brush himself off, and head to the boat; a shallow-hulled canoe, gleaming metal of a new outboard motor on the back. After checking the fuel and equipment, he would push the canoe down the beach and into the waters of the lagoon, steering it to a small dock, he would await Luita'ani, helping her in.

Firing up the motor, they would slowly steer out into the deeper lagoon, then accelerate, breezing across the calm waters.

"Madam President, if I may be so bold, what is the reason for your travel?"

"An informal meeting."

"And what would that meeting be about?"

"I figure I'll think of something before we get there."

The captain would simply smile.

Halfway down the clock, and the canoe would at last drift her sights from east to south. Cutting the motor, the captain would let the boat skim on her own momentum, gradually slowing until she was but twenty feet from the shore, gently rocking in the wake which bounced off the white sand. With periwinkle growing to their left and gold turning scarlet to their right, the captain would lift the motor from the water and pull from the floor a wooden oar. He would stand, rowing the canoe for the last leg. When they were two strides away, he would hop into the shin-deep water, pushing the craft until it at last slid onto the shore. He would then step unto the beach and offer the president a hand.

"Here we are, Madam President."

Slowly making her way unto land again, the President would smile. "Many thanks as always, Captain.

...come to think of it, I don't believe I ever told you where exactly we were going."

He'd smile. "I had a hunch."

"And what are you to do in the meantime?"

He would make his way to a cluster of palms, stretch, and lie down on the sandy soil. "Oh, I'll think of something."

Luita'ani would chuckle softly to herself. Turning away, she would set out for one of the houses on the raised green just beyond her. As she climbed the hill, perhaps no more than five feet above the intertidal beach she left, she could hear the strum of a ukulele, gently playing, a resonant voice singing above. She didn't know what language it was; probably an Odrelan one, but the words were beyond her.

She would come up to another palm, leaning against it, waiting for the man to finish his song. He paid her no mind. Although she was in front of him, he seemed wholly immersed in his playing. She would hum to herself, listening to the mu-

Ow! What was-

"HEYO HEYO"

The man would abruptly stop his playing, looking in surprise at the President, along with the lorikeet who had just nipped and shouted into her ear.

"Nāli! What have I told you about pecking the president?"

The bird would fly to his shoulder, rubbing her head into the side of his face. He'd pet her chin with a finger. The bird would chirp happily, a bit quieter now.

"Yes, you're a good girl."

He'd look again to Luita'ani. "Well, this is an unexpected surprise."

She'd rub her ear, pain and irritation fading. "I'd finished with documents early and thought to pay you a visit."

"You could've just told me to visit you, you know. I'd hate to interrupt your exuberant day reading about tariffs."

She'd roll her eyes. "Just get me something to drink."

"Aye, miss."

The pair would head up the wooden steps to the man's stilted abode; an elevated one room hut of thatch, wood and bamboo, typical of many an Antenesian home. Despite the organic materials, and presumable age, it was in surprisingly good condition. Stepping inside, Nāli would flutter to a perch, grooming her feathers. Luita'ani would set her cane against the wall and seat herself on a simple wicker chair. A second later, the man would return with a container and a cup.

"Alright, take your pick; I have water, water, and water."

"You really are a strange person."

He'd laugh, pouring some for Luita'ani, then grabbing a second cup for himself. Seating himself at a second chair of the same design, they'd both take a drink.

"So," the man would say, amethyst eyes staring at the fiery amber of the elderly woman beside him, "I hear Antenesia's finest are headed to Evacasian screens."

Luita'ani would hold her head in her palm. "Oh, dear no."

He'd cackle. "You know what though?" he'd say through stifled giggles, "I don't think I ever laughed more than when we went to Tau Volantis."

"All these plans of putting ourselves on the map," she'd join in on the laughing, "and what does it, are the ******* Lorikeets."

Both would be unable to speak, cracking up at the situation. The man would wipe a tear or two from his eye. After thirty seconds or so, the room would slowly quiet again. As it did, Luita'ani would get a better look it.

It would be littered with papers. Sitting on furniture, sleeping in files, pinned on walls, everywhere. In the corner was a long bamboo frame, elevated a foot or two off the ground with a woven mat atop; his sleeping arrangement. A laptop, obviously a recent acquisition from the Alingarchi, could be seen tucked under it. And of course, spread on a table behind her would be a large, intricate map, as much writing as there was landmass. Her vision was too blurry in her advanced years to make it out, but upon the paper was what she could only assume was a novel's worth of writing. Notes on nations, histories, cultures, geography, demographics, relations - anything and everything.

The man would turn, looking at the map with her. "I see you've found my new map."

"New?"

"Yes, got it from the Alingarchi. Much as I loved my old one, I'm afraid its cartography left a little to be desired. This one, though," he'd point at it, "it's got everything. Cities, landmarks, rivers and lakes. I dare say it maps Antekuna better than the Kuni. The geography, at least. They can't really pick up the human elements, obviously."

"Hm." She'd turn, looking to him again. "I suppose I picked a good man for the job, Mr. Pokalemalu."

A mischievous smile would cross his lips. "You sure it wasn't nepotism, mother?"

"Oh, shush. I had you adopted after you were appointed."

"If you say so, Mrs. Onahōtū... Although, if I recall correctly, I was in the Liberationist government before you were. So really, wouldn't the adoption be to your benefit over mine?"

"Keep it up and you're fired."

Chuckling, he'd change the subject.

"How's your campaign going?"

"For president? Oh, fine. It's more for precedent's sake than anything else. Save the protectionists and Kuni loyalists, there's little opposition, what with all the recent development and success.

The anti-housing camp does worry me, though. They may be smaller now, but given the projects the Alingarchi have planned, I fear they may form a strong coalition with the protectionists and threaten our globalization."

"They probably will. Public approval on that's rather contingent on our perceived control over development. Generous and altruistic they may seem, Alingarch's pushing that boundary."

"And what of the Evacasians and their Red Cross?"

"The Red Cross is of little concern to me. They're not tied to the government and as time goes on will become more international and likely receive LoN backing. Evacasia I'm not so sure about, but they like to be integrated with other nations while pretending they're not, so they'll be queasy about meddling to keep their clean non-aligned look. I guess their government's also like Alingarch's in showing little interest in aggressive hard-powerplays.

Quite honestly, the Lirana and Artaecusians worry me the most of the Akschoss bunch. They haven't been quiet about their more... liberal interpretation of international codes of conduct. The Artaecusians haven't been contacted, though, and the Lirana haven't yet responded. So I suppose there's still time to build a counterweight.

Thank goodness for the Schismians for that. Expensive as it was, that rescue mission you and your Kuni pals arranged really is gonna work wonders for the Serene Ether."

"Hmph, I'd hardly call them pals." She'd tap a finger on her arm, running the numbers. "How long has it been since that? Years? It has to be."

"It does seem like an eternity ago."

"In some ways it is. Our world's quite literally fundamentally changed since."

He'd nod. "...Yeah, it really has."

"I just recalled why I came here."

"Yes?"

"As you mentioned, the election is coming around, and soon I'll have to take another look at my cabinet."

"You want me to be on for a second term?"

"I want you to be where you want to be."

"...What's that supposed to mean?"

She'd take another drink, leaning back. "I know you want to go back to Vanai'au."

He'd sigh, "I've told you before, my place is here. The nation's young, and needs to find her place in the world's web. That's why I'm here, that's why I'm on your cabinet. To help guide it.

"Oh please, if you're gonna stress your importance, don't be so humble about it. You may be too much of a good cookie to admit it, but you and I both know you're the brightest of the bunch here."

"Third brightest."

"Don't."

"After Ekahi and Elua."

Despite her best efforts to suppress it, a chuckle would slip through. "Dang it."

Satisfied with the pun, he'd return to the topic.

"Look, I may not say it, but I know I'm more qualified than any other Antenesian for this. And even if that isn't true, I know others think that. Why would I compromise that, handicap Antenesia's growth and survival, for personal desire?"

She'd take a deep breath. "Because sometimes - and I know I'm the last person who has a right to say this - but sometimes, there are things more important to care for than the nation."

"..."

"Plus, there's still competent people to replace you, even if they won't match your caliber."

"Who exactly? Ioka'an, bless his heart, has the charisma of a dried palm leaf, and he'll admit that. Maka'o has the charisma, drive, and name recognition, but he's a thousand gaffes waiting to happen. And Taipolo, the one jack of all trades we have, would pour gasoline on the opposition's fears of foreign meddling, out of sheer virtue of him being Schismian-born."

She'd laugh, "You want to talk charisma? When you showed up in Lahonas, you were a hermit crab when it came to social acumen. You know how many years it took to pry you out of your shell?"

"Four or five."

"Longer than you've been on my cabinet!"

"Fair."

"Look. I'm not going to pretend all will be as good as it was with foreign policy if you go off and settle down.

But listen; it will be alright. And if things do go south, you're allowed to come back. Any candidate worth their salt would have you on without question."

He'd sigh, "Yeah, I suppose."

"So...?"

"You're argument's sound, and you're right.

But, I do believe I agreed to be on for your whole presidency, not just your first term."

She'd lean over and swat him. "You're too much like me sometimes!"

He'd chuckle, and she'd pull herself back into her chair.

"Just promise me this, Viper."

"Hm?"

She'd pivot a bit in her seat, facing all the way towards her adopted son. "When my second term is up, and I'm leaving Lahonas, you leave with me. I don't care what's going on, I don't care if someone set the Assembly Hall on fire. You finish your term, go to Vanai'au, and settle down."

"..."

He'd get up, waiting for Luita'ani to stand. When she was steady, they'd give each other a long hug.

"Deal."

The hours had passed, and Lahonas now rest under the veil of indigo, fading to black.

Pokalemalu would lay outside his house, under a swaying palm. Breathing, living. Here.

In his place of rest, the moon would watch over him. Beams emanating from her face, right there, yet so far away.

After some time, the moon would rise from level of the ground. As she did, he would walk into his house. Under the soft yellow of the hanging lantern aflame, he would slowly pace the house, running his hand along the walls, brushing the furniture. Stopping at the bed where he slept, he would reach under. He'd pull out his laptop, setting it on the bed. Then, from the far wall, he'd slowly pull out a large case. Opening the latches that bound it shut, he would gingerly pull out a ukulele. With great care, he would take it outside, returning to the palm where he slept.

He stood there, looking to the moon above him. He ran his strings across the fingers, seeing to it they were all to tune. He'd breathe. In, out. In out.

Finally, he'd play.

    "Moonlight
    Please shine on me tonight
    Whether skies be black or gray
    Beauteous gleam
    Of your radiant beams
    Come wash my pain away

    Drifting across time
    The wind lets out a chime
    She speaks of gold and silver light
    Paired hearts never sway
    But shine bright come what may
    And live and breathe through night and day."

Almost immediately, the Red Cross attempt to expand operations into Conglagateia. The task at hand is difficult; the exceedingly brutal nature of the war playing no small part in the matter.

Red Cross hospital ships, with permission from the Evacasian Government, assemble off the northern Evacasian coast. The fleet, consisting of 4 hospital ships, 2 transport ship for vehicles, and a small cruise liner for extra staff, prepare to set sail northward towards the northern coastlines of Tengerina.

Given how Conglagateia is landlocked, the IFRC once again do 2 things:

  • A request is sent to both Canadra and Kemonomica, asking if the Red Cross may transport its supplies and personnel through their lands (under military escort if necessary) into Conglagateia. This would most likely be carried out via air, in which case the aircraft will be clearly identified as Red Cross to Conglagateian ground crews.

  • The Red Cross alert the nations involved in the war of their new possible operations in the region, while a list of their insignia have been sent so as to make it easier to identify IFRC volunteers.

RP:Don't Cross the Line
After discussing the request with the Kemonomica government for a longer then needed time an answer is given. Evacasia will be allowed to dock their hospital ships within Canadra. Only Red Cross vessels will be allowed to dock and only doctors or medical aids will be allowed onward. Crates and transport will be checked before being granted a single path to stay on to travel into Conglagateia. Medical, food, or clothing will be allowed through anything for military use will be flagged. Hopefully the Evacasian Red Cross will be alright working inside these set rules.

RP: Decades of Change
In recent years there has been a significant shift in Rumanian life, due in large part to political stability and financial security coupled with a rising middle class and lowering poverty rates. The previous decade had seen a rise in financial stability of the average Rumanian household and steadily increasing rates of high school and college graduation. With the exception of an market hiccup in mid 2129, unemployment has been decreasing and the average disposable income has grown from 41,226 to 54,821 since 2115. Another change has been to the Rumanian political spectrum, which has shifted towards the left. In previous years, the PNL and CP had dominated the scene but in recent years attention has shifted further left towards the PSD, National Salvation Front, and PRG.

RP: Akschoss Diplomatic Initiative
Bucuresti, Rumania - The Rumanian Foreign Office has, after a long delay, accepted the Antenesian request for formal diplomatic relations. The Rumanian government has also agreed to mutually open its economy to the Antenesians as requested. Additionally, the Rumanian Foreign Office has requested to establish an embassy within the Antenesian capital and has offered to allow them to do the same.

Archron empire wrote:RP: The Rose of help

With the meeting between Kemonomica and Archron going better than well, Archron has sighed a extradition treaty with Kemonomica to allow safe travel between the two nations. Kaiserin Rose also has given instructions for the rose in great detail. Now, the flower of hope needs to be planted.

RP: The Attack

Apart of the false flag operation that has begun, Dominic would be hidden, awaiting and watching. for the Attack, will be today

New Vaskia, Archron. 11:29AM

It would be a calm morning. traffic would be calm and normal. However, not for long. As the traffic lights were all red, 4 vans would run the light and slam into the stopped traffic. People would exit the van. Some people would be stepping out to make sure they were ok. However, one with a uniform would yell

"Glory to Rumania! Down with the Archian Monarchy!"

With that, the man would press a charge. car bombs would ignite around the the traffic. Unlike what the plan was supposed to be, Several cars would be caught and explode as well. causing a mass chain of explosions. The people from the vans would run as people would begin to scream. No one was safe. Woman, men and children would be affected by this.

5 minutes later, paramedics and police would arrive. Buildings would be sprayed with "For Rumania! Down with the Monarchy!"

This would be known as "The Vaskian Massacre", claiming 235 Archians lives. The greatest disaster to occur in Archron

Post this attack, Dominic would make Reports to the Blayredeshians of what occurred. Dominic noted "It will work, but it ultimately failed"

RP: A little act of kindness goes along the way.

With a travel and extradition treaty being signed and allowing Kemonomicans to travel abroad and search for new opportunities. It certainly has given rise in relations between the two nations. Elvira goes back to Kemonomica with the rose. Knowing where to plant it. She plants it in the Fukuda National Techo-Organic Park. The city she was made in.

Esolda carrying Hemlock and Catherine were heading over to Thank the Kiamaian Government for Liberting Esolda from Rouge Organization however being shot at by Kiamian Army, Kiamaian Airforce and almost getting Catherine and Hemlock killed really has made an Negative Impact on relations.

Breif talks were about future of Icewindia and Dharkolfia which was United due to Marriage.... besides that Icewindian Press is outraged and Hemlock calmly looks to TSE. Kemonomica.

Icewindia is pretty livid at situation at hand right now.

RP: So what is it. . .

In order to solve things out between Kiamai and Icewindia. Elvira shall hold a meeting in Neo-Higashi, Kemonomica, in order for them to sort it out on TSE territory.

Woleve Atraland wrote:RP: Formalization of our claims

The Central Committee of Atraland has prepared a statement for the nation of Kemonomica:

"The island of which you inhabit is the land of our people. For centuries our three ethnic groups built up cities and nations upon it, but sadly through unsavory circumstances, we have been forcibly removed from that land. We stake our claim to the northern islands including the land of the Slozveks, the land of the Woleves, and the land of the Akzvanians. We implore you to work with us so that we may come to a common agreement as friends, that will see a peaceful transfer of land and allow us to return to our ethnic homelands that were taken from us so long ago by the greed and malice of the disconnected upper classes. Glory to Atraland and all its inhabitants."

With Atraland demanding the island. It was surely a rather demanding deal as the island that was under Kemonomica’s rule is the center for major cities and its capital. Which can’t be shifted to other places. However First Speaker Elvira will strike a deal with the Central Committee of Atraland.

- Designate land to fit 150-200 million people in the North-East
- Designate land to fit 150-200 million people in the North-West
- These two citIes shall abide to Atraland Legislations

These shall be the terms given to Atraland. Though it is up to them I’d they wish to contribute anything back.

RP: Excellent

Elated at the embassy swap offer from the Rumanians, the Antenesians have accepted. Following this, a plot of land in Lahonas has been sectioned off for the Rumanians for construction.

While the offer itself was accepted without issue, the issue of embassy location saw surprising consideration among the presidential cabinet. Tsola'itsi, the second most populous atoll (after Paraba, where the capital sits) has increasingly been the central reserve from which diplomatic manpower is mustered. This can be credited to its unique history as a haven for Solists and other oppressed religious minorities, which has given it a distinct melting pot culture with a strong tradition of foreign linguistic and cultural studies. Due to this, there's been a push to make the atoll Antenesia's diplomatic capital, where mutual cultural understanding is likely higher between Antenesia and many foreign nations.

Despite the concerns favoring Tsola'itsi, it was ultimately decided the embassy should reside in Lahonas. Due to in parts both the Rumanian specification that it be in the capital as well as fears of over-decentralizing Antenesian governance, it was decided to be best for the nation.

RP: O

It was a normal day. Someone said that their drink was missing ice... and everything froze. Everyone stopped walking, and Doge came from his hiding place. He had the power to freeze the whole nation... nobody hopes he uses it. He said:

"Did some carbon-based lifeform just say ice?"

And then... he froze the whole nation.
