OOC post: should I base my monetary system on base10 or base3? Base3 has been proven to be more effecient, however base10 is what most countries use.

Use whatever you want, as long as you understand the worth to ACU, you should be fine.
1 ACU is 1 USD, my currency, the Kisto, is worth 1.47 ACU

I use base10 myself.

My currency, the Tanick, is worth 2 ACU. Just thought I'd give another example.

And the lat, my national currency, is worth 2.82 tanicks

Marlenka has updated the Facebook with the ACU to Kona scale. Updates when needed.

Pilot Downed Over Lisvonya - Status Unknown.
01/03/21

The Press Centre for the Vultesian Naval Services announced this morning that Flight Lieutenant Pjatrik Vælenitt, a naval aviator serving aboard VNS Heartlander, has been downed by a surface to air missile during the intense fighting against the Shauntellerine horde.

While Vultesian airman and naval aviators have been enjoying unprecedented superiority over the backwards aircraft of the Shauntellerine military, scoring dozens of kills apiece, Vælenitt's VF76-III 'Razorbill' jump jet was hit by opportunistic surface fire, while providing air support to the slowly coalescing Lisvonyan resistance fighters.

While the wreck of the downed aircraft has been found and photographed by the awestruck Shauntellerine, it would seem that the canny Vultesian aviator has escaped! Search and Rescue flyers and ground forces have begun operations to return Flight Lieutenant Vælenitt to allied lines.

The Dragon Awakens
February 26 2021, unknown 5 star hotel, Dokodo Tsokeiku

It was early in the Morning as Ayano checked in at the hotel. As she entered the luxurious lobby, the receptionist bowed respectfully and smiled. "Eveyone is waiting for you in the conference room miss Yamada, as you asked" "Perfect" Ayano replied. She proceeded to the conferance room as she always did. All the bosses were there sitting at a long table, including her lieutenant and boyfriend Takeshi. She walked towards her seat at the very end of the table and as she sat down, everyone present got up and bowed out of respect. They then sat down again as Takeshi said with an annoyed and tired voice "Ayano why the hell did you ask for a meeting this early. im tired for f***'s sake. Ayano simply stared at him with an evil look, her very dark almost black brown eyes staring into his soul. She had the look of a cold hearted killer as her organization was renowned to be. Takeshi gulped nervously and apologized telling her to proceed.

"So" she exclaimed herself as she laid back in her chair and put her feet on the table "Our little business in Tsokeiku is going very well and despite being utterly destroyed in the post 1970's crackdowns, we have managed to rebuild ourselves and money is flowing again. As such, I have decided that it was time to branch out. I have found the perfect country for us to do so. A country so poor and backwards that we will have free reign to recruit. Takeshi looked with a spark in his eyes and asked which country. "Some sh**hole called Xinan Ayano answered "Im actually half Xinanese myself on my mother's side. That damn country worships its emperors and supreme lamas as gods. Cant even afford to get a decent army to crush their communist rebels in the south and their islamic extremists in the north. Havnt seen the country in years but I can't wait to come back to stir up some trouble. However, im busy here so Takeshi will be the one to go" Takeshi looked at her and said "Why me please dont give me that look again."

Some context

Ayano Yamada or "the boss" is the leader of the dragon syndicate, a criminalized biker gang and mafia hybrid founded by her grandfather Kazuo in the early 1950's. They reached the peak of their power in 1965 but were utterly crushed by the anti criminal crckdowns in Tsokeiku. Over the years they have rebuilt themselves in the country thanks to legitimate means and eventually resumed their criminal activities under her father. They were however more covert in doing so which has allowed them to gain influence. They specialize in many illegal activities so pretty much everything one could think of. Also a note for Tsokeiku I tagged you so you can read it and if you have any issues with the post or any concerns by all means let me know I will tag you on every post involving them so you can check them.

Ekseni Military Base, Kistolia
12:03 PM 3-1-21
A large amount of Kistolian Air Force pilots are eating lunch in a cafeteria, a man named James Ronharde is speaking in Kistol, "And so, I went to tell her, 'Pigs don't fly!' and she responded 'Yes'." The cafeteria erupts into laughter until a message comes onto the speakers. "Hello pilots, Kistolia is now officially at war with Shaunteville-la-patrici. Please enter get ready to enter your planes immediately.

The room erupts into talking, as people exit the room some people are chanting "Menaze de monareki!". Five pilots walk out of the door preparing to enter the planes, conversing. James Ronharde speak to the pilot to his left, "Those Shauntellerine forces are f***ed." The pilot next to him, Jene Kinelo replied, "Yes, with our Night Hawks in the air, those soldiers don't stand a chance!" The rest of the soldiers responded, "Yeah!" The pilots entered their planes, to start fighting in Shaunteville.

(OOC: 'Menaze de monareki' translates to "F*** the monarchy!" as a reference to the Shauntellerine monarchy.)

Unknown location, Hadian

Joseph was past the gate walking casually as if heading towards town as he told the watch guard. Once out of sight he made a sharp turn towards the fishing dock. He thought to himself, "It's late and nobody should be there, right?" A question he asked himself to ease his mind. The distance to the dock was no further than the town he had told the guard. After a twenty minute walk he was at the dock.

Joseph was lucky as nobody was there and there were two boats. "Great, either one would be sea worthy." With a quick glance and examination at both he determined the one favourable to him. He immediately boarded the ship and began to prepare it for sail. "I'm finally fu*king free!", he thought. "I just have to get the boat sailing towards the west outside of the Empire's nautical control. If I head south I'll run right into the smaller island communities and their control."

Joseph set the boat, the sail and directions westward. He laughed to himself, "I guess that military training paid off." As the boat began to leave the dock. Joseph still in his Hadian military uniform didn't think twice about it or what problems it would cause if he landed on another nation's country. He set a goal to make it to Vultesia or anywhere on that continent. He just wanted to be gone from Hadian.

His memory as a young boy who watched the Hadian Imperial Government come for his brother, because his brother was deaf haunted him. In accordance to the state he was deemed defective and taken to Otto Hospital.

That day still burns in his mind. He'll never forget it. He was playing outside with his brother. Being young boys playing in dirt and pretending to fight a war. When three men in Hadian Juchekorp uniforms came. Aware of their presence while his younger brother still played, Joseph stop playing watching the men engage with his parents and watched his mother point to his younger brother. Joseph just stood still and the men came and picked up his brother like he was nothing. He lacked any words to say nor really knew what was going on. *Flashback* "Mom! Why are they taking Vladimir? Will he come back?" A young Joseph asked... "No, son.. Vladimir is going somewhere special and he'll be okay, don't worry about it my love." Joseph's mother said smoothly and calmly.

Young Joseph watch as his brother was put in what looked like a medical vehicle. That was the last he ever seen of him. *Back to reality* Joseph hated his parents and the government. They took his best friend away and now knowing what he knows, they executed his brother for being defective. "I'm almost past the point of no return and I'll be able to manage this boat towards a new continent. "I just hope I'm welcomed and not sentenced back to Hadian, he thought."

Young female artist that borderlines the boundaries of the Hadian code just release a new song. Her newest song "Across the Universe" using mock scene from Hadian's 1950's when Hadian's took anger and uprise against the Jewish owned businesses during the time. Though the song and video doesn't actually violate any Hadian law. Outrage and outcry from a few demand the song be removed and video taken down. The Imperial Hadian Government hasn't taken stance because the song and video doesn't violate Hadian law.

Hadian has effectively elimated all minorities within the country. Now it focuses on keeping its stock pure by eliminating those determined defective by the State.
