I love how different our naming conventions are. I would have gone for something like "The Mennan Incursion" or "The Mennan Aggression", but your name is more poetic. I dig it.
Thanks. I always try to go with poetic names for RP titles because it feels more fitting than "The Mennan Aggression/Incursion/-San Javier War"
it's a trap!
one of my roommates plugged a few old bar speakers, a tv, several lamps, some sort of DJ station and his laptop plugged into an outlet downstairs and is trying to act like it's a mystery why we tripped a breaker
it's not a big deal because I know how to fix it but he doesn't even want to acknowledge that this is easily avoidable
Dormill and Stiura and Brulafi
It was a joke, I guess I should have marked it out smh
Sorry I didn't mean to own you epic style 😎
I just noticed that all the info about the post-RP history of SJ is inaccurate though. Pablo Hernandez is not president, for example. He was the disgraced president in the last RP...the Chairman of the new People's Freedom Coalition Government is General Fresia. I haven't updated the old Factbook in awhile. It's not accurate to the most recent history. And all of the players are wrong. There is no presidential republic anymore. The Paramilitaries and the Presidential Republic merged into the People's Freedom Coalition. The communists barely exist. The new central government made deals with the cartels, and there's basically peace and growth now, for the first time in decades.
Ah, well I didn't know the exact details so I went with what I could find in the moment. This is why I asked if you wanted anything in particular so I would avoid these errors.
I'll send you a brief rundown. I didn't know you were going to post a whole history...
Going to the public library to get a course's required book because the university bookstore couldn't get it after a fvcking month. Center of excellence indeed.

what's the book called
Scraping By by Seth Rockman.
my god it's not even on libgen
It's relatively new. You can get it on Amazon, but somehow the bookstore hasn't been able to get it to me for nearly a month. The assignment it's needed for is due tomorrow morning. The bookstore shall be receiving a rather indignant request for a refund that afternoon.
Edit: Actually I like this book. I wish to keep it when I receive it. The bookstore will still get a very angry student demanding to know when that might be.

Presidente Rodrigo Emmanuel Cajillo, 1973
In 1979, the conflict reached a head as the Anliana Cartel marched into the capitol and overthrew the entrenched government forces there. However, the cartel had no interest in wresting control of the government itself and had simply wanted to eliminate the Communist forces, which had been putting pressure on the cartels to recapture the poppy fields in order to fund their continued conflict. Foreign governments had mostly withdrawn from the conflict as the region became too destabilized to control. A power vacuum followed the Anliana Cartel's removal of the Communist central forces, as the remaining central government forces withdrew to the mountains and began breaking apart into smaller forces without central unity. The Presidential Republic took control of the capitol, but their decreased forces from years of war were unable to consolidate power in the rest of the country, and conflict continued over the next several decades as cartels, communists and paramilitary forces battled for control of resources and population centers around the country. San Javier has been described as "governmentless" or "a Wild West analogue in the modern day". While the Presidential Republic, under the command of Presidente Pablo Hernandez, claimed to be the central government of the nation, their influence did not stretch far from the capitol. Meanwhile, Communist forces mostly controlled the mountainous regions of the nation, and the rest of the country was controlled by rival, warring cartels.
The balance shifted with the entry of various forces into the country in 2016. The communist forces were broken at the Battle of Santa Ana and, after various political maneuvers, Pablo Hernandez was removed from office. His successor, Prisdent Flores, was killed in an assassination soon thereafter, and the remaining military forces of the country and the paramilitaries made a deal, forming a new government under a military junta referred to as the People's Freedom Coalition Government of San Javier. The current Chairman of the Coalition is General Fresia. This end to the primary conflict has left some armed communist gangs, but the nation has since seen peace for the first time in decades, especially since the PFC made deals with the cartels leading to a proper balance within the country. The country ahs been seeing its first growth since the 1970s under this regime.
Poppy fields in San Javier are frequently
sites of key elements of armed conflict
While the nation is extremely Catholocized and Spanish, an existing minority of Javieran ethnic natives, or Iza, exist throughout the nation. A local pidgin language of Spanish and Iza has come into being due to the prevalence of the Iza people, and ruins of the old Izaca nation dot the landscape. Historically, the Iza faced extreme prejudice from Spanish colonists, a racist gene in the nation's culture which can still be found to this day. However, ironically, the collapse of the government and the chaos since the 70s has ensured that a certain level of pragmatism has entered the cultural landscape, and the Iza have faced far decreased prejudice since, especially with the Azul Naturaleza cartel, who claim to defend traditional Iza values and their way of life, and have therefore been lauded by the Iza community as defenders of the race.
Without a central government maintaining law, order, education and infrastructure over the conflict, these areas vary wildly in quality and coverage across the nation. While cell phone use has become ubiquitous due to relatively low cost and decent coverage across the nation, infrastructure like landline telephony, roads, electricity and water are spotty across the antion. Larger population centers, like Castillo Verde and major towns and villages, are often connected to some form of electrical grid, usually produced either by the relatively few remaining hydroelectric dams or, in the case of many smalelr towns and villages, gas generators that provide power to major buildings. Roads in many parts of the country are unpaved, organic and ill-maintained. Only one major highway exists, and it has been highly damaged by cobat and is dangerous to travel. Hospitals and schools are rare, with most of the nation serviced by the two hospitals in Castillo Verde, and medical coverage otherwise being provided by lone doctors. Education has no central regulation or curriculum, and is mostly provided in one room schoolhouses in larger towns. Sewer systems are non-existent in many areas of the country, and indoor water is a luxury aside from in Castillo Verde and areas serviced by infrastructure developed by the original paramiltiary groups. A key facet of the PFC Government's policy has been developing weak services and infrastructure, so many areas closer to the capitol are starting to see significant increases in service, but it is still slow going to develop due to alck of expertise.

The San Javier Conflict began approximately in 1973 and was a low-intensity asymmetric war between the Javieran republican government, paramilitary groups, crime syndicates, and communist guerrillas such as the People's Army of San Javier, fighting each other to increase their influence in San Javier.
It was historically rooted in the political discontent of the 1970s, which was triggered by the 1973 restructuring of the government under Rodrigo Cajillo, and in the aftermath of foreign-backed strong anti-communist actions following the restructuring. This would lead to the rise of drug cartels and paramilitary groups in the region, which would destabilize the area and prevent a strong central government from gaining a foothold.
The reasons for fighting varied from group to group. The communists and other guerrilla movements claimed to be fighting for the rights of the poor in San Javier and to restore the legitimate and legal government of the country. The Presidential Republic government claimed to be fighting for order and stability, and seeking to protect the rights and interests of its citizens, as well as re-establishment of the constitution that existed before Cajillo's rework. The paramilitary groups claimed to be reacting to perceived threats by guerrilla movements. The criminal drug organizations are fighting to continue unrestricted trade and growth of narcotics, and to protect their foothold in the nation. Both guerrilla and paramilitary groups have been accused of engaging in terrorism. All of the parties engaged in the conflict have been criticized for numerous human rights violations. By the end of the conflict, more than 250,000 people had died, most of them civilians (estimates suggest civilian casualties over 160,000) and more than 1.5 million civilians were forced from their homes between 1985 – 2012. 54% of the population in San Javier has been a direct victim of the war.
Several foreign nations are alleged to have connections to the conflict, including accusations against the Atnaian government of secret ANIA arms sales to the Presidential Republic early in its existence and facilitation of rebellion that initiated the conflict. Senior administration officials in the Atnaian parliament allegedly secretly facilitated the sale of arms to San Javier, which was the subject of arms embargoes. They hoped thereby to secure access to Javieran oil fields and to fund the capitalist forces despite the passage of legislation that prohibited Atnaian arms from being sold in San Javier.
Over the years since the 1980s, rumors about Ostehaar's involvement in the conflict have also reached regional media. According to some sources, the Oster government played a significant part in training and arming of mostly anti-communist forces in San Javier, using illegally obtained funds. In 1997, Luis Manuel Moreno, a San Javieran resident who claimed to be an informant for the Osters, testified on the alleged Oster operations in the island and expressed his intention to publish a book about it. Moreno was found dead in his car several months later, presumably after committing suicide.
During the seventies the Keomoran government send money and military supplies to the Presidential Republic (ESCJ) in order to stave of a second communist regime or anarchy. Later on Keomora sent humanitarian aid to several locations, most of them having focused on Puerto Polo. Relations are tense due to the demand to use the harbor and to lease Isla San Martin and Isla Mujeres.
I updated the original factbook a bit. It's at least somewhat more accurate to the current state of affairs.
Well my RP is off to a good start.
Not sure if this is a passive aggressive way of trying to get people to post or you're being legit.
Actually I won't be doing anything tomorrow because campus is closed due to the impending weather. The bookstore staff is spared by divine providence.
Well I got a good amount of people ooc so once the other people post it'll be good
Maybe treat the customer service staff with some respect because they don't control the deliveries, ordering or shipments? That's the truckdriver, manager and wholesaler, respectively.
I've been yelled at a lot this week because a delivery for a replacement part for our hot tub came in a few days late and it has me pretty raw about clients acting like pricks to the wrong people.

Horizon Incorporate (often just referred to as Horizon Inc. or Horizon) is an Alteran multinational technology company with headquarters in Inferatus, Altera. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services. Its best-known software products are the Horizon Skylight line of operating systems, the Horizon Workspace suite, and the Glass web browsers. Its flagship hardware products are the Horizon Atlas lineup of touchscreen personal computers. As of 2016, it is one of the world's largest software maker by revenue, and one of the world's most valuable companies.
Horizon was founded by Stadius Calerus on April 4, 1985, to develop and sell alternative keyboard hardware for personal PCs. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with HI-DOE in the mid-1980s, followed by Horizon Skylight. The company's 1987 initial public offering (IPO), and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Horizon employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made several corporate acquisitions, their largest being the acquisition of numerous technology and social media firms. It also holds significant data, server and other technological contracts with numerous governmental systems - including services for the governments of Noronica and Alteran republics.
As of 2015, Horizon is market-dominant in the PC-compatible operating system market and the office software suite market, although it has lost the majority of the overall operating system market to its international competitors. The company also produces a wide range of other consumer and enterprise software for desktops and servers, including Internet search (with RiChu), the digital services market, mixed reality (HoloDeck), cloud computing (Mercia) and software development (Novae Studio).
Software
Horizon Skylight is an operating system, utilised as the basic software that manages and runs applications on a significant portion of computers and devices throughout the region. The majority of desktop and laptop computers run Skylight, and so do some tablet computers and a few smartphones. The latest version of Skylight is Skylight 10, which was released in October 2017. The latest server version is Skylight Server 2019.
Horizon Workspace is an office suite, with a variety of programs designed for productivity. Horizon Scribe is the word processor, Horizon Data is used for spreadsheets and data handling, Horizon Slideshow is used to make presentations, and Horizon Telegram is the office suite's email manager. Horizon Bizerte is a server tool included in Horizon Workspace (2007, 2013).
Internet Adventurer was the default web browser installed in Skylight from the 1990s up until 2015. In 2015, it was replaced by Skylight Glass, which featured a new rendering engine and was built from scratch to accept HTML5, as well as future-proof it against anticipated web developments.
Whilst it did not develop it's own internet search engine, Horizon acquired RiChu and its associated search engine in 2012, helping to further boost its online presence - as well as add advertisement revenue to the companies' coffers. In 2017, it was estimated that RiChu brought in 3Ͼ billion ($3.6 billion) in pre-tax revenue.
HI-DOE (Horizon Incorporated - Desktop Operating Environment) was the first operating system developed by the company in the 1980s. Whilst no longer used, its interface is and programming structure forms the backbone of the underlying Skylight operations.
Horizon Game Studios owns and develops several successful well-known video game titles including; Void, Age of Nations, Urbania and Frontline.
Services
Although Horizon is best known for its hardware and software products, however, they also offer numerous web services:
Telegram.com (as well as its local domain derivatives) is a webmail service. Whilst all accounts are offered as free, an ad-free experience, an expanded inbox capacity and intelligent spam filtering is offered as part of a premium service. As well as email, it also offers a web calendar and contact service - with the ability to sync most mobile operating systems and apps.
HiDrive is an online cloud-based file service. Offering 250 GB free to a Horizon account holders, it can store and synchronize files between various devices - including mobile and PCs - using Horizon's cloud-based file storage system. For a premium fee, and as part of the Workspace 365 subscription service, users can get up to 1TB of cloud storage, though this can be expanded further.
RiChu is Horizon's flagship search engine, having purchased the company in 2012. The company also came with its own brand of Smartphone; the Dawn, although it doesn't use the SkyLight Mobile operating system. RiChu is often used as most internet user's first port of call on the web, with over 40% of Alterans using RiChu as their default home page.
Horizon offers data storage and handling services through its Cloud Computing service: Mercia. Mercia is often used by private companies, utilising the web and cloud computing storage services for a subscription fee. However, Mercia is also utilised by national governments and large corporations for a wide range of services; namely, the handling and sorting of data collected and managed on behalf of the government and corporate services and activities.
As part of the data and internet services, Horizon offers a web connection service, Internet Service Provider (I.S.P.), to domestic, commercial and governmental properties. Although it does has some differing names depending on the location, the company sells its internet connection services through simple its company name: Horizon. Through its fibre service, users experience a minimum download speed of 70Mbps - however, in some nations with higher quality and investment, these can increase to 1Gbps.
Hardware
Atlas is the name of a range of computing devices designed and manufactured by Horizon. Originally started in 2010, the Atlas range was the first series of computers designed by the company, who before were satisfied with developing the software for other companies to incorporate into their hardware. As of 2019, the company offers the Atlas Book (a laptop), Atlas Tablet (touchscreen tablet), Atlas Phone (a smartphone with 5" and 6" variants), Atlas Hub (a smart speaker connected to Horizon's AI 'Cecil') and the Atlas Studio (an all-in-one desktop PC).
Horizon offers a range of telecommunication hardware solutions ranging from satellites, optic fibre cables, wireless data services (3/4/5g) and signal boosters. Horizon holds a monopoly of telecommunication services in Altera, with 90% of users purchasing phone and internet services through the company. Whilst smaller independent companies offering similar services do exist, Horizon is the clear dominant market force.
