No problem:

It's on this day that we celebrate the end of the tyrant Pixiedance's reign and a return of democracy to TNP. Let us all take a moment to reflect on the freedoms that we all enjoy, the freedoms that were returned to us on that day. May the spirit that was reborn fourteen years ago continue onward towards the future as TNP continues to grow and prosper as both a NationStates region and as an online community.

The Ministry of Culture, on behalf of the TNP Government, wishes you all a solemn Manumission Day. Maybe democracy live on.

The Ministry of Culture would like to ask that all TNPers use the symbol of the candle to celebrate Manumission Day, on the forums, Gameside, or Discord. Whichever you feel comfortable doing.

Mine is a Nordic Shield. I wish to change it. I prefer a black background. I could either put the Saxxons cross (Iron Cross) or the fasces. I haven't decided yet.

MAJOR UPDATE FROM Lanorth:

One hour ago ago in the The Commonwealth of Lanorth, the Army, led by the New Tyronian Order Party, rose up against The Tyronian Government and have taken to the streets in the capital of Arkrough. The Tyronian Order Forces, as they are known, are heading for the Parliament so they can formally overthrow the Government and replace it with their own Military Fascist Dictatorship. There is only one thing standing in their way. The Armed Police. Around thirty minutes ago, Armed Police engaged the Order Forces who outnumber them five-to-one. Apparently the Order Forces lost around two-hundred soldiers before they managed to fall back to more favourable position where they have been reported to fight back and have in-fact charged the positions of the Armed Police. The Takeover of Arkrough is still underway and the two factions are still in combat. More updates coming soon.

Is the coup d'état in Lanorth being voided? Have I been blocked out of TNP, in roleplay and OOC? There is no reaction to the coup d'état which leads me to think I am nkt in Strangereal.

The Black Cathedral wrote:

The relationship between Sawteeth and Vapians had always been quite strained, especially considering the Badlands had become a refuge for Vapian criminals looking to escape the law in their homeland. Nowhere did this show through more, than in Orgeth. Vapian soldiers often came to the town on leave, looking to party, and pick up some local women, usually from the Blackheart or Motor Runner tribes, the only two that accepted humans. It wasn't uncommon for Vapian soldiers to get into fights with the locals, especially over trivial matters that the locals would exaggerate. The local authorities were usually enough to handle these occurrences, and everything would be sorted out fairly quickly.

The Blackbear Legion, the primary fighting force of the Badlands had recently begun taking more and more responsibility from the local authorities as the tribal council began militarizing the nation. Police cars were replaced by APCs, officers carrying handguns were replaced by patrols of Sawteeth carrying machine guns, and due process had been replaced by on the spot sentencing.

It was a clear, beautiful night in Orgeth, and the streets were bustling with market vendors, bar patrons, and foreign soldiers on leave. Commander Kesh was leading his squad on their usual nightly route, as they wandered along next to their APC. They rounded the corner of 10th St. heading towards Main, and saw some sort of fight happening down the way, outside the Red Bridge Pub, named after the massive bridge that went straight from Orgeth, to the border with the Vapian colony of Lebea. "Control, it looks like we have some sort of altercation ongoing at the Red Bridge, will investigate. Over." Kesh said calmly into his radio. "Affirmative, Commander. Please advise on situation as it develops. Over." came the response. Kesh and his men jogged toward the bar, and saw that it was locals fighting with Vapians once again. Kesh waded into the fray, pushing the combatants apart. "Break it up! BREAK IT UP!" Kesh shouted, pushing a younger looking Vapian away from an older human local. "What the hell is going on here?" Kesh asked, looking back and forth at both groups. "These Vapians are trying to take our women!" the local cried, pointing at the group of soldiers. "Your women dont want nothing to do with you anyways!" Kesh shouted, belittling the man. "Go back to your drinks, and don't let it happen again tonight." he ordered the group of Vapians, who begrudgingly turned and walked away. "As for you lot, don't start nothing you most likely can't finish. Now go, back to your drinks." Kesh told the locals, who likewise went back to the bar.

"Control, situation resolved, drunks fighting over women, given warning, sent back to their drinks. Over." Kesh explained to the radio operator. "Affirmative, commander. Stay safe." the operator responded. Kesh and his squad began their route again, turning the next corner, before they heard several gunshots ring out from inside the bar. Kesh began running, shouting into his radio, "Control, shots fired at Red Bridge Pub!". He didn't even hear the response as he ran towards the building. As he reached the intersection, he saw the Vapians running to their vehicle. "Hey! Stop!" Kesh shouted, firing a warning shot into the air. The vehicle sped off, a rooster tail of sand flying through the air. Kesh leveled his rifle, and fired three times, striking the back of the vehicle. "Control, black sedan, heading towards bridge, 5-6 Vapian males inside, make sure the boys at Checkpoint Zulu stop them!" Kesh shouted into his radio. "Affirmative, Commander!" the operator responded.

Kesh rushed inside the bar, to see a young Blackheart woman cradling a man's head in her arms as he coughed up blood. It was the same man who had been fighting with the Vapians outside. Kesh knelt down, looking at the man's wounds, he knew they were fatal. "Miss, I need you to focus, stay calm, and tell me what happened." Kesh told the young woman. "I..I don't know..I dont know..I-I-I was talking to those soldiers, and he came up, and started screaming at them, a-and the next thing I know, there was all this shooting, and he fell, and those guys started running!" she stammered hysterically. "Ok, just stay here until the paramedics arrive." he ordered her. She nodded, and looked down at the man she held in her arms. Kesh could see he had been shot three times, but he had heard five shots fired. He began to leave, when he spotted the gun on the floor. It was a short barrel revolver, made in the Badlands. He looked around, and made sure nobody was watching as he picked the weapon up, and tucked it into his waistband. "Control, does Zulu have the suspects?" Kesh asked quietly, a moment later, the operator confirmed that the Vapians had indeed been stopped at the bridge.

As Kesh jumped from the side of the APC, he could see that the vehicle had been stopped with a .50cal round through the engine block from the MG nest between the lanes of the bridge. The checkpoint guards had the Vapians kneeling side by side along the side of the road, the other guards keeping traffic at a distance. Kesh strode up, alongside his comrades, a great fury in his eyes. He stopped in front of the Vapian he had confronted earlier, and stared long and hard at him. "I know you killed that man, and you did it with his own gun." Kesh said, lighting a cigarette. The foreign soldier began to speak, but Kesh cut him off with a wave of his hand. "Actually, I should say..you killed that man with a firearm you smuggled across the border." Kesh said, looking at his squad. They all looked back at him, and nodded, before walking back to the APC. Kesh watched them leave as he knelt down, "Now, I've never liked your kind. I think you're all awful, but this..this was low, fellas. Killing an unarmed man, over some girl?" Kesh said, shaking his head gently. "Then to top it off, you tried to ram through a military barricade to escape justice? Shameful." he continued, standing up, and backing away from the group. Kesh stood up, and motioned to the checkpoint guards to come over. He quickly conferred with them, before the guards pulled the Vapians to their feet, and dragged them towards the vehicle, forcing them inside. Kesh stood in front of the incapacitated sedan, his hands on his hips as he watched. When the guards cleared away, Kesh took a long pull from cigarette, and flicked it towards the car, bouncing it off the windshield. "Shame you chose such a bloody way to die." he said loudly, moving out of the way, as the MG nest opened fire on the sedan, sending blood, glass, and steel flying as the gunner riddled the car with holes. Kesh lit another cigarette as he watched the Vapians thrash in their seats as the gunner tore them apart. When it was over, Kesh quickly got to work, cutting the zip tie cuffs off of the now dead Vapians. He pulled the pistol from waistband, and quickly wiped off the handle on his pants, before jamming into the hand of the dead man in the passenger seat, making sure to firmly close it around the handle of the weapon. "Real shame what happened here, tonight. Real shame." Kesh said aloud, a veiled warning to anyone present, who may think of telling the truth. Luckily, nobody would need to. The surveillance cameras on the Vapian side of the bridge had seen everything.

The Security Team working the checkpoint across the border had seen the footage. Vapian soldiers had been slaughtered for no apparent reason. The Security Team quickly coppied the footage, and sent it out to the Lebean Colonial Administration.

An hour later, the Colonial Administration at Tripola recieved the footage obtained from the border Security Team. The small administration team, along with Colonial Governor Emilio De Bono, viewed the massacre. It was decided that the footage needed to be taken up to Rome.

A few hours later, the footage was called to the attention of his Excellency. The Duces inner circle gathered around and viewed the footage. The inner circle were shocked at the sudden act. All except Mussolini. For the inner circle, it was a border incident.

For Mussolini, it was a Casus Belli.

Have a check on Strangereal. I am in Usonea. Looking better than ever. You should support the Fascists. They are anti-OSEAN (sorry Hong kong empire) and pro-Pax Havenica.
