The Argentine Government has decided it is in our best interest to confront the KoSP. after an investigation revealing that the Kingdom of Saint Paul was sending aid to the Vigoan cartel in order to combat the RANF. This is unacceptable and a country meddling in our internal affairs will not go unnoticed.

An ultimatum has been sent to the KoSP. They back out of our internal affairs, halt their aid to the Vigoan cartel OR we will terminate all diplomatic missions and declare war on the Kingdom of Saint Paul.

230,000 soldiers have been mobilized and positioned on the border with Saint Paul, and are instructed to wait for orders.

The Republic of Nationalist Nigeria

The Blood of a Monarch

The Kingdom of Zamorika had been plunged into its darkest chapter following the brutal culmination of relentless warfare and insurgency during the months of May and onward. For months, the RANF led a sweeping insurgency against Zamorikan and ARC (Anti-RANF Coalition) military forces. The conflicts brutal urban engagements left scars not only on the cities but on the souls of those who fought. While ARC forces managed to maintain a semblance of control amid the chaos, the prolonged fighting sapped their strength and supply. The unyielding RANF presence who reportedly actively employed sabotages, bombings and any form of action that could impede or destroy the ARC. Their guerrilla tactics ground down the Zamorikan administration and left their defensive capabilities hanging by a thread as the government fought inwardly as well due to corruption and turmoil leading to slow reactions to RANF attacks which further put pressure against ARC contingents.

The decisive blow came with Operation "Blood Walker," a meticulously planned and vicious offensive that pierced deep into the heart of Zamorika's territory and primarily toward the city of Lagos. The ARC's chain of command fractured from immense pressure, and with it crumbled the last hope of Zamorikan sovereignty as the country fell into anarchy as the administration collapsed. King Rashidi III, along with his family, was forced into exile as the monarchy fell. This defeat spelled doom for ARC forces, particularly the Indiaxxx contingents that had served as the backbone of the resistance against RANF forces. Surrounded and outmaneuvered, these forces negotiated a humiliating peace deal to escape the inevitable slaughter as they were completely isolated in extremely hostile territory, ultimately being escorted out by RANF units in a somber display of submission and the mark of the ARC campaign in Zamorika a failure.

In the aftermath of the collapse, the search for King Rashidi III and his family became an obsession for the RANF leadership. Their goal was clear: eradicate any lingering claim to power of their newly acquired land and stamp out the last embers of resistance. For months, the royal family managed to evade capture, moving between safehouses and guarded locations, their whereabouts shrouded in secrecy with multiple nations such as Lower Nubia and Transvaall helping them reside in secret locations and giving transport. However that was not enough, as the fateful night of November 10th would prove to the world.

At 9:13 p.m., inside an opulent hotel known as the J&J Hotel, known for its ironclad security and guarded by an elite team of mercenaries had disaster strike. Security cameras and surveillance systems went completely dark, an ominous precursor to what would unfold. Bodycam footage from the mercenaries captured their sudden realization that communications had been cut. Before they could regroup, masked assailants, moving with lethal precision and equipped with silenced weapons, descended upon them. The footage depicted a series of swift, silent confrontations, with some mercenaries being taken down through brutal close-quarters combat. One by one, the defenders fell, their cries and calls lost in the suffocating silence as the attackers equipped with night-vision technology outmaneuvered them in the pitch-black corridors.

The attackers raced toward Room 111, where King Rashidi III and his family huddled in fear. The door was breached using a Benelli M4 Shotgun causing a thunderous crash as the door was shot open by the hinges. Amid the confusion, one of King Rashidi's daughters broke free and darted towards the hallway, but hope was fleeting; a stifled cry and two gunshots ended her bid for freedom instantly, much to the horror of the family.

In the rooms sudden, suffocating quiet, the masked intruders set up recording equipment. It soon became clear that the men belonged to the infamous Group 242, a shadowy paramilitary unit under the direct control and allegiance to the RANF. feared for their merciless efficiency. Moments later, broadcasts across international news networks were hijacked. The world watched, stunned, as a live feed displayed the huddled royal family surrounded by the heavily equipped and masked men, the rooms opulence a stark contrast to the horror that was about to unfold.

Dikembe Abara, the RANF leader, spoke with a chilling calm through the broadcast: “Behold the remnants of a dynasty that fed on the blood of the people it claimed to protect. Today, justice finds them, and the echoes of their power die here. Let this be a message to all who stand in the way of our righteous cause”

The broadcast cut abruptly, leaving a void of silence that was swiftly filled with dread. Seconds later, a military-clad figure took a picture of the lined up family, after which raising a hand in a signal. The men of Group 242 unleashed a hail of gunfire. The screen erupted in chaos as the royal family was executed in full view of the world. After the deed was done the men quickly poured gasoline around the room and lit the flames as they made their leave. The flames licked the edges of the broadcast before the feed died due to the intense fire that was created.

The aftermath saw the entire J&J Hotel burnt and damaged heavily but surprisingly still somewhat standing, no evidence was found of Group 242 beside the heavily burnt dead mercenaries. King Rashidi III and his family were incinerated by the fire as well.

OOC: Just to give background for any who are new, the Kingdom of Zamorika was a real player who was destroyed by the RANF after fighting valiantly against them however their inaction and failure to communicate with the ARC destroyed them. You can see more lore about them if you type in "Zamorika RANF" in the word search bar.

Don't worry though players cant generally actually be overthrown by the RANF, its just the player Zamorika who went inactive from RP so was taken over.

The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul

Letter from the Prime Minister's Office to Argentina (Hammerford)

Dear Mr. President,

It has come to my attention a very grave matter concerning the security of both the Kingdom of Saint Paul and the Confederation of Argentina.

Having been granted power by the King in extraordinary circumstances in which the nation was perceived to be at great risk, the King's Most Orderly Secret Service stepped out of line and worked with illegal organisations. They never meant to undermine Argentina's territorial integrity or national security.

It is my belief that as two nations on the continent, we have great potential to work as allies, especially with the admission of Argentina into SATO on the horizon. I would also like to ask you to take a moment to understand my position, having only become aware of this when you brought this up on my third day as Prime Minister.

I can assure you it was never the Kingdom's intention to violate Argentina's national security.

Though an ultimatum is not the path we would have liked to have seen taken, we will respect Argentina's position as a sovereign state. I will instruct the KOSS to not carry out any further weapons deals with the Vigoan cartel and suspend their current President with the intention of sacking him.

Slowly and surely we will cut off all ties with the cartel, and provide a sum of money which we will allow you to set in compensation and to resolve its growing threat.

However, I hope you can appreciate it is not a matter as simple as simply leaving and cutting all lines with the cartel. Too many of our men would be put at risk. We will work on a plan to bind the cartel to a contract which will allow us to cut ties in three months, under the guise that this will have been enough to combat RANF presence.

We will present our withdrawal as a structured exit, with your government none the wiser about the situation. In reality, during this time we will have provided your nation with the money and weapons necessary to deliver a knockout blow to the cartel.

In exchange, we kindly ask that you decrease your military presence on our border to a maximum of 150,000 soldiers, and 90,000 soldiers after our termination of relations with the Vigoan cartel.

In the interest of national security, I am forced to mobilise the King's Stalwart Armed Forces should our negotiations fail. If needed, our Kingdom will go to war. But I do not want this outcome, as I am sure you do not.

If these terms are not acceptable, please communicate to me your conditions and we will strive to meet them.

Sincerely,
Thomas A. Glengarry
Prime Minister of Saint Paul

Under the Prime Minister's orders, the King's Army is to mobilise 270,000 soldiers and all needed equipment and munitions for them, and the King's Air Force and Navy are to mobilise fully.

130,000 of the Army should direct themselves around the border with Argentina (Hammerford).

It has been communicated to the King that the President of the King's Most Orderly Secret Service (KOSS) should be suspended until further notice.

Mr. Glengarry,

We are glad to hear that you have decided to co-operate with us. We have understood that your organization has gone rogue, and hopefully you will see to it that action is taken.

80,000 of our soldiers will be deployed away from their position on the border with Saint Paul. For compensation money, a sum more than 100,000,000 USD is not needed. We also look forward to receiving your aid to combat the cartel.

We shall also assist your diplomats in being carried out of the country safely and securely, without threat of an attack.

Since we have also detected soldiers on your border with us, we ask you also reduce the presence to match our decision.

I look forward to improving ties between our two nations. This can be hopefully a blur in the future affairs of our countries.

Regards,
Mariano Ferreyra

The Empire of Lunar sand

The Aurarian Empire has created the General Authority of Consumer Safety (GACS) to ensure all products meet high safety standards. We’re also introducing the Aurarian-Made Logo to highlight quality local goods. This initiative will boost our economy, protect consumers, and promote national pride.

▸ Establishment of the Aurarian General Authority of Consumer Safety ◂


On November 11, 2024
Written by the Office of National Industry


Citizens of the Aurarian Empire,

Today, we proudly unveil the General Authority of Consumer Safety (GACS), a new institution dedicated to protecting our nation’s consumers and enhancing the quality of products available across the Empire. As our markets grow and evolve, the GACS will act as the frontline defender of consumer well-being, ensuring that only the safest, highest-quality goods reach our people.


What is the General Authority of Consumer Safety?
The GACS has been established to monitor, inspect, and certify all goods entering the Aurarian Empire. This authority will act as a quality filter, ensuring all foreign imports meet the high standards of our nation. Additionally, GACS will audit the production of domestic goods, requiring that they meet or exceed consumer safety expectations. Only after a product passes GACS inspections will it be allowed on the market.

How does GACS operate?
The GACS functions in close partnership with the Ministry of Health, using their expertise to ensure products align with the latest health and safety standards. Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and testing facilities, the GACS will conduct thorough testing and certification processes across all product categories, from food and textiles to electronics and cosmetics. Inspections will examine every product for hazards, from harmful chemicals and unsafe designs to poor craftsmanship.

How will GACS improve consumer safety?
By establishing GACS as a vigilant overseer of consumer products, we aim to eliminate unsafe, low-quality goods from our markets. Imported products will face strict scrutiny to ensure they meet Aurarian standards, preventing low-quality goods from entering the market. This will reduce health risks and foster a safer environment for all.

Why do we need this authority?
With increased international trade, our markets are exposed to varied standards from around the world. To uphold the quality our citizens expect, we need GACS to ensure that all goods—domestic and imported—meet a unified standard of safety. This commitment to quality reflects our national values and safeguards our citizens from potential health risks.


Introducing the “Aurarian-Made” Logo: What Does it Mean?
In conjunction with GACS, we proudly introduce the Aurarian-Made Logo, a mark that will appear on all domestically produced products that meet GACS standards. This logo will symbolize the commitment of Aurarian manufacturers to deliver products that meet the high expectations of our citizens and pass the rigorous standards set forth by GACS.

How Does the Aurarian-Made Logo Benefit Our Nation?
The Aurarian-Made Logo represents more than just compliance with safety guidelines; it is a badge of national pride. When citizens see this logo on a product, they can trust that it was crafted within our borders, supporting local industries and promoting the Aurarian economy. The logo reassures consumers that they are choosing products made with Aurarian resources, labor, and expertise.

How Will the Logo Boost the Economy?
As GACS enforces higher standards for imported goods, local industries will have a stronger advantage in the market. The Aurarian-Made Logo will act as a unique selling point, building consumer confidence in locally produced goods. It encourages Aurarian companies to innovate, knowing they have the support of a loyal, safety-conscious customer base. By promoting homegrown products, we foster economic resilience, reduce dependency on foreign goods, and create more jobs within our own borders.


Your Safety, Our Standard – This is the guiding principle of the General Authority of Consumer Safety and the Aurarian-Made Logo. As we move forward, every product in our market will bear the quality and safety the Aurarian people deserve whether a citizen or a resident, making our nation a model of consumer protection and pride.

Signed,
Office of National Industry
