The Federal Republic of Gnonc Nic


"From the very Earth, the Old Gods raised this wall to separate their garden from the human world. The vile children of Adam would rather end the world instead of finding inner harmony. They only know war, and we only know peace. It was destined that they must either chose to end themselves, or accept the evil within them - either way the truth will come, and they will be disgusted with who they have become."

- Unknown

Located on the Daguo-Gnonc Nician border, a natural barrier known as Hajaz'a Wall has stood for an uncertain amount of time. The elevated part of the land is Daguo, while the valley it descends from is Gnonc Nician territory. It has long been used as a tactical territory for the Lizardfolk, as it is too steep for conventional supplies and trained soldiers to be able to navigate, as its immediate drop provides no way for those on the elevated side to inert to the bottom valley without facing massive casualties. Native wildlife, like aggressive goats and very large man-eating birds that predate the dinosaurs are a natural obstacle for an invasion. However, due to their inherit ability to navigate and their background knowledge in 'under-dog warfare', the lizard folk are able to use the landscape as an exceptional place to defend and ambush. No invader has been able to successfully navigate the barrier nor be able to pass it without losing a majority of their troops. It is Gnonc Nic's ultimate shield against northern aggressors.


"...[Gnonc Nic's] swamps are impassible, even with compatible technology; the untamed nature of the swamps bother every man who try and navigate the landscape. Between the horrid diseases, aggressive swamp life, and the natives who take to the trees to ambush are merely factors that no strategist could overcome with will alone. It requires great intelligence to even guess a plausible strategic retreat."

- quote from General Gill B. Denfile of Velkisa.

Gnonc Nic's entire landscape is dominated by swamps, low-laying bogs, and razor-tipped marshes. The only race that could successfully navigate and travel through the harsh landscape are none other than the natives who call Gnonc Nic home. After thousands of years of adaption, the lizard folk are immune to the diseases that fester in the swamps, and can breathe underwater as well. It is also common knowledge to understand how to travel through the wastes. It is impossible for humans to survive the outlining, uncivilized environment that is Gnonc Nic. The most 'solid' part of the country are the northern hills, which themselves are populated by man-eating animals, which ignore the lizardfolk, as they are deeply connected to nature and have a basic understanding of the animals that inhabit the country. The hills themselves happen to have sudden cliffs, rushing rivers, and poorly-logistical footpaths, that have long been abandoned as the collapse of the ancient civilization that once dominated the modern nation.

Before the Connection


"...ruins of a civilization that has ceased a long time ago; before the human world could connect to Gnonc Nic. A place filled with mystery, odd writings, and scriptures that could detail the existence of a massive empire, but has yet been able to translate. Even the natives don't recall the origins of these structures that seem to be abundant..."

- excerpt from Voliekian explorer, Hammel D. Belthorne


"I have found that in some isolated parts of the nation, where it appears a vast trade network was constructed, complexes of mega-cities would dominate the landscape...no...incorporate themselves into the landscape. The natives refuse to answer any questions we have about these structures, nor do they tread near them - almost as if they fear them. Those who do dare get near these ancient buildings have noted they sense a spiritual presence, a feeling where a lot of lives were lost, unknown to the cause of their demise..."

- excerpt from Culofian archeologist, Finfell A. Cardicor

Located randomly throughout the nation, as where possible rivers flowed, and dense vegetation dominated; these ancient structures were constructed thousands of years ago by an unknown civilization. It appears with what limited data the international scientific community has on these strange structures, is that they were large complexes and communal buildings, ritual places of spiritual worship, and centers of trade and discussion.

The communal living areas would hold beds, closets, communal bathing rooms, nurseries, kitchens, large dinning rooms, and living spaces where those who lived together would gather. In almost every section there was a main corridor that would connect the communal living spaces with other parts of these 'mega-cities' where chambers of commerce, education, and spiritual practice would all connect in a elaborate, yet open environment. The forests would be merged with these structures, where they'd grow fruit that would provide food to the inhabitants, in exchange fecal matter would be dumped in a primitive plumbing system to the lower levels where roots and bogs would be. Those who lived in the mega-cities and the plant life lived in harmony of equal exchange. It is considered that fruit was their major source of food, as no bones from meat were ever found, but rather old seeds and drawn descriptions of possible recipes you could arrange with the various fruits that were harvested. However, the descriptions haven't been translated, nor are there any possible sources of reference to try to translate what material has been left.

The mega-cities had no form of physical barrier that would be defensive, but instead they built cities where the surrounding environment could provide a sense of natural protection. Usually these cities hang off of cliffs, hide underneath mountains, water falls, and other masses. Bridges are also common, but where it is dry, it is suspected it used to be a passing river, which would be replaced with minor canyons, cliffs, and crumbled debris. These structures were made out of an unknown material, guessed to be limestone or some sort of stone. Carvings on the buildings would allow researchers to understand that this civilization was incredibly centralized, and were able to communicate freely. Center chambers with semi-circle seating arrangements would indicate that they practiced some variant of democracy; a peaceful society where everyone's voices are heard. They had an advanced writing system, verbal language, and the ability to comprehend conversation and commit to discussion. There is no proof of skeletal remains, nor are there any clothes, which many would predict that this civilization didn't use clothing, either that they didn't need it, or they worn something else.

It is also hypothesized that the unknown civilization practiced sacrificial practice, as elevated mounts with steps are scattered, where a metallic bowl and dagger could be found. Scenes of bloodshed have been found, which indicate that the result was death. It is also believed by the community, that this civilization understood astronomy, and used the stars as a calendar. One major finding was discovered; a massive circular calendar based off of the alignment of constellations was at the center of religion for this entire race. There is nothing more known about the calendar, how it works, nor who built it. Incredibly large humanoid statues that have crumbled or collapsed over the centuries; would dictate that the civilization understood engineering, architecture, and mathematics. These statues had complex designs, and stood at heights that varied. However, it is incredibly rare to find these statues in good condition, as it would appear that something larger than them was able to knock them down, along with some of the major cities that dot Gnonc Nic. It is uncertain what caused the removal of the unknown society, as it also appear that they never existed in the first place, with barely any proof of their activity and how they were decimated is left to speculation and lost theories.


"Large humanoid statues are randomly placed outside of these mega structures, acting as guardians for the people who lived there. Most of them have either collapsed with some of the cities they were built to protect, or are littered by overgrowth, and erosion. It is impossible to tell what caused them to fall, as it would appear those who built there expected them to stand for much longer. Their reinforced structure has been compromised by something beyond weather or tectonic movement, as they have been built into the very Earth."

- excerpt from Harold B. Bare; an expert architect.

You will be under the supervision and protection of the Sovern government, when the time is right we will hold a summit here in Valis with the Kaiser, and we could work on something. Until then, you will be given the due process of claiming asylum, and thus be considered a refugee of war. Although, you must understand that you will owe me a favor, and it would be wise to remember that. Soverns take debt very seriously." President Alduin notes.

The Hyperborean Empire of Vostag

Hedra wrote:War and Union! The Revolution p.4

Loyalist troops are being mobilized to the Northern Region, the region where the Republicans and Confederates have the most number of supporters. Their first target is the Confederate Faction because they are significantly smaller than the Republican Faction and so it will be a victory with almost no effort put into it. As one would expect, the more technologically advanced forces from the government managed to defeat the majority of the Confederates forces who primarily uses primitive tactics. This defeat boosts the government forces morale and causes the Confederate forces to spread out, their leader Khal Bharbo of the Andahli managed to escape with what remains of his army and finds an ally in Barnabas Sarney, the leader of the Republicans.

“So Mr. Bharbo, I am honored that you came for us. I support your desire to return your lands to your people but if we plan to take down the Tyrant together I can’t allow those lands to become there own seperate nation.” Barney says.

Bharbo’s human translator translates what was said and then translates what Bharbo said.

“What do you suggest ‘fat purple creature’?”

Barney clears his throat; “Well I suggest that we turn your lands into indigenous territories which will be protected by the government. What do you say?”

Bharbo hears his translator and thinks for a moment.

“Deal...!” Bharbo says.

Barney smiles and extends his hand for a handshake but Bharbo pulls him by the arm and touches Barney’s forehead with his forehead symbolizing the closing of that deal. Both would later on make an announcement to both Confederates and Republicans stating that both would fight as one force against the Absolutists and, in ther first battle together, they crushed the government forces many attributing it to luck in numbers but not skill or power.

Back in the capital, the government is furious over this defeat and the union of the Confederates and Republicans and begins sending more troops away from the capital. The troops leaving Rikas and the news of how the government is dealing with it’s own people up north created an opportunity for an insurrection in the capital. It wasn’t long after troops left the capital that a massive protest caught the government by surprise and left them running like headless chickens while calling the troops back to the capital. Elys hears of this massive protest and the instability it has caused, this is the perfect chance for her to enact her plan of escaping the capital. As the Regent and government officials run around Elys orders the staff loyal to her to attacking the Royal Guards by surprise, this creates an opening in the palace’s security which then allows Elys, the royal family and the staff loyal to her to escape. Once they make their way to the streets they see the chaos that has taken over the city, cars burn; the people fight with the police; some policemen fight others; some buildings are evacuated etc. The Royals have never seen such a thing in their lives before and are lost on what to do. Elys leads them to the embassies and calls for every ambassador and officials in those buildings to leave the capital now, as they all run with the protection provided to them Elys grabs the Hyperborean Ambassador’s arm, which is a personal friend of hers, and says; “We need your help! Let’s get out of here and then we can talk!”

More troops arrive in the capital a day or two after the outbreak of the protests and successfully crushes it. Elys, the Royal Family, the staff and Hyperborean Ambassador however managed to flee to the north where the republican leadership is located. Elys is personally welcomed by Sarney.

“It is a pleasure to finally meet you Ms. Elys.” Barnabas says.

“The same to you Sir Barn- Mr. Sarney.” Elys says “Don’t mind me saying but you are... bigger... than I imagined.”

“And you have a thicker Nemedian accent so I believe we are both surprises to one another.” Barney replies. “I believe you are aware that even after Republican and Confederate forces came together we still lack skill and force to defeat the Regent.”

“Yes I am.” Elys says and then turns to the Hyperborean Ambassador. “My friend... I need you to do me a favour. I need you to contact the IAA back in Vostag and ask them for help, we need weapons, manuals and everything we can get. It is about time for Hedra to enter the modern world, even if it means by force!”

Elys and the leaders of the revolution now wait for the ambassador’s and the IAA’s answer.

SIC: As the ambassador leaves the embassy with Elys he grabs a briefcase and handcuffs it to his wrist. Not long after they leave the embassy behind them it explodes in a ball of fire destroying it.

Once at the rebel camp with Elys and Mr. Sarney the ambassador says the first words since the crazed series of events began. "Glad to see you're alive and well Elys. I was holding off my extraction to see if you could get out. You're lucky I'm still here or things would be a lot harder for you to reach out. Well I assume we're in as secure a position as we can get so I suppose I can get to work."

The Ambassador clears off a table in the tent and sets down the briefcase, the first time the case hasn't been held tightly to his person. There are a number of papers and documents in the briefcase as well as a small device. After some short setup time with the ambassador not allowing anyone to see what he is doing in the briefcase. "Okay so let's see what the word of the day is. Alright got that. Now we translate this, encode that, and now we send the actual message. I hope they're listening. They should be."

The Message:

The ambassador discusses Elys and Mr. Sarney's full request with them so as to be clear to those who will get the message as well as to make sure that Elys and Sarney understand this is a big favor they are asking and making sure they want to go down this road because there will be no turning back. Once everything is clear and understood between Elys, Sarney, and the ambassador he sends out the message.

The ambassador sends out one more message.

After a few minutes of waiting the trio get their answer:

"RAVENWINGS ON THE WIND. 0652417309." The number being decrypted to reveal coordinates where they are to rendezvous with an IAA asset.

The ambassador packs up the briefcase and approaches Elys. "You and I are going to have to leave the others here for the rendezvous. Effective immediately Elys you are recognized by the Hyperborean government as the representative of the true Hedran government in exile." He then turns to Mr. Sarney. "Get those who came with us fed, rested up, and ready to move at a moments notice. If they don't have any valuable skills or could be a target then they may have to be smuggled out of the country for their own safety. I'm talking women and children primarily. Alright let's go." Says the Hyperborean ambassador with a handgun he had stashed in the briefcase much to the surprise of those around him. He walks off into the wilderness expecting Elys to follow him.

After a few minutes of waiting the trio get their answer:

"RAVENWINGS ON THE WIND. 0652417309." The number being decrypted to reveal coordinates where they are to rendezvous with an IAA asset.

The ambassador packs up the briefcase and approaches Elys. "You and I are going to have to leave the others here for the rendezvous. Effective immediately Elys you are recognized by the Hyperborean government as the representative of the true Hedran government in exile." He then turns to Mr. Sarney. "Get those who came with us fed, rested up, and ready to move at a moments notice. If they don't have any valuable skills or could be a target then they may have to be smuggled out of the country for their own safety. I'm talking women and children primarily. Alright let's go." Says the Hyperborean ambassador with a handgun he had stashed in the briefcase much to the surprise of those around him. He walks off into the wilderness expecting Elys to follow him.

Barnabas and Elys watch as the Ambassador does his job and, once he tells them what to do they respond.

“‘Representative of the Hedran government in exile’, that is something I never expected to be but if it is for a noble cause so be it. I’ll be right behind you.” Elys says following the Ambassador into the wilderness.

Before they leave Barnabas thanks them both once again and follows the orders of the Ambassador by feeding those who followed Elys out of the capital and giving them places to stay.

SIC: After traveling through the wilderness for a short while Elys and the Ambassador reach the coordinates, at least roughly, they arrive at a small clearing with a tall ash tree in the middle.

"Well I think this is the right spot. I'm afraid my skills are a bit rusty. But this looks like the place." The ambassador says to Elys.

Suddenly the two of them hear the call of a bird closeby. which both of them recognize easily "A raven" they both say almost simultaneously. They look up in the branches of the ash tree and see a large, black raven perched on a low branch looking down curiously and cawing in their direction. Elys notices as the light hits the feathers a slight iridescent shine which reflects a faint red color. Upon looking closer the slight iridescent shine of the raven's feathers reveal the Hyperborean flag but only when one is standing in just the right angle, light, and looking carefully.

page=dispatch/id=1509834

"Guideline" says the ambassador.

With that pass phrase the raven lets out a caw mimicking the ambassador, ravens being one of the most intelligent birds in the world are capable of mimicking sounds even human speech however it becomes clear that this raven isn't entirely natural.

"Guideline." The Raven caws. "Ambassador Swanson. It's good to see you and Miss Elys alive and well." The raven continues this time the caw like response, while still rough, becomes more human.

"Oh thank the gods I was worried we had the wrong bird." Says Ambassador Swanson with a slight chuckle.

"Yes this should make communication easier than the whole coded messages and encryption business over radio. Less likely to get caught this way and much faster. So Miss Elys I understand the situation in Hedra has gone tits up and that you would like some... assistance?" The raven asks.

“Yes.” Elys says “At first I misjudged the speed in which things would blow out of proportion, I thought that I would have enough time to create a strong resistance in Rikas but my presence here shows that didn’t happen. Hedra has been a centralised nation since it’s existence and further from the capital you go the less infrastructure and access to some goods you see. The Republicans and Confederates coming together raised our numbers but not our skill or power, we did weapons that can get us around until we get access to more powerful ones and we also need manuals on guerrilla warfare, the lizardfolk is already experienced in fighting in difficult terrain but not in the streets. The other lack proper training and weapons, all they have are the things they bought and what they already owned. If people of skill could come over it would give us a massive advantage against the Absolutists as they are primarily focused on keeping the Southeast Region and that would be our biggest challenge. We need weapons, manuals, skilled people and anything in realms of possibility at the moment. I know that my request is big, but that is what is needed to free Hedra once and for all.”

SIC: The raven listens silently to Elys' plea for aid before replying. "I see. That is a big ask. Hmm. Alright. We will send in weapons and supplies along with a few... advisors... to get started. In the meantime we can provide some rather discreet air support. Airstrikes, gunships, that sort of thing should the need arise. This is going to be a hard fight my dear. All hands on deck on your end. Amb. Swanson you shall accompany Miss Elys wherever she goes as our contact as Mr. Frog is currently on assignment elsewhere. If anyone close to you needs extraction Miss Elys then it can be arranged. Children, handicapped, that sort of thing."

“Thank you very much. The people who will need be extracted will be my four youngest grandchildren and their mothers as well as the families of the palace staff that came with us, the men and women of able body and mind will stay with us we need all the help we can get. Again thank you very much.” Elys says.

She then turns to Amb. Swanson; “We have much to do my friend.”

Good work on the embassy Mr. Swanson and good luck to you both. Now this little birdy has to get back to work in Rikas. Nevermore, signing off." And with that the raven ceases communication and flies away.

Once back at camp with Mr. Sarney and the others Amb. Swanson and Elys fill the others in. Amb. Swanson looks at Mr. Sarney. "If you have any eyes and ears in the trees or along the coast then tell them to keep their eyes peeled as the supply drops will come by air or sea. We'll be notified when a how it's coming but it wont hurt to be looking." He then looks at Elys and saws "Doth quote the raven nevermore."

Hjallvinter

Tonight, on HNN at 11, Adelaide Lorraine reporting.

This day in history, First Minister Nielsson has declared the Free Lands of Hjallvinter a member state of the lands of Barbaria, citing WA immigration quotas as an existential threat to the physical, psychological, and social wellbeing of native Westmen. The state press corp recorded his statements earlier today.

"It is a bold move to cast our small nation's lot into a frontier as wild as Barbaria, indeed, but upon careful review, it is abundantly obvious that the greater governing bodies of the world do not have our vested interest, as a people, at heart. It is then that we have decided to send an open invitation to ministers of the various Barbarian nations to come visit our fledgling nation, and begin trade and peace talks with our neighbors. We have high hopes that they recognize our sovereignty, and more importantly our right to continue into posterity. Tonight, we extend our gratitude and thanks to our fellow Barbarians that not all peoples are subjugated beneath the yoke of WA tyranny."

The Hyperborean Empire of Vostag

IC: Mu: Hyperborean Foreign Legion: Replacements
It has been quite a long period of fighting for the soldiers of the Hyperborean Foreign Legion. They've all taken part in their fair share of battles, have been attacked by the enemy while marching alongside convoys, and have experienced the chaos and carnage of artillery barrages. They've been in country long enough to see the first major wave of replacement recruits come in. The Hyperborean Foreign Legion has been assigned to yet another mission called Operation Queen's Garden in which they will be fighting alongside units made up of the new replacement recruits.

The Hyperborean Foreign Legion makes its way through the city of Ekahope where they are given a hero's welcome by the locals. "I expected more resistance than this." Says Lt. Krueger to one of the Staff Sergeants. Meanwhile some of the men are struggling to keep moving from the joyful celebration of the Muan people. The men watch as the locals harass and humiliate members of their community who helped the Muan forces. The Foreign Legion groups up with a tank unit and proceed to travel together.

That night about halfway between the city of Ekahope and the town of Kaonahou the men encounter a farmer and his grandson who come out of their homemade bunker to watch the soldiers march past. Red goes over to the boy and gives him a chocolate bar. The boy unwraps the candy bar and takes a bight after which he joyfully scarfs the rest of it down. "It's the first time he's ever had chocolate." Says the boys grandfather in broken Common with a heavy Muan accent. The men continue their march onward.

The next day the legion arrives at the town of Kaonahou. Just outside of town they encounter a woman who is standing still in the middle of the road holding a baby. It's an eerie sight in the early morning hours and sends chills down the spines of the men. One of the replacements is put on point and he is the first to begin to make his way into town. It's eerily quiet. Just then the sound of a single gunshot in the distance rings out and the young soldier falls back onto the ground an anti-material round having punched right through the visor slit in the helmet of his power armor. With that the men drop into the ditches along both sides of the rode just outside of town making sure to get out of the way of the tanks. The tanks begin to slowly make their way into town when suddenly a Muan APC swings around the corner firing its guns wildly before being quickly taken out by the main gun of the lead tank in a massive fireball. The men slowly make their way out of the cover of the ditches into town taking cover from the snipers by going through the various buildings. As they carefully make their way through town Pope and Blue both see a strange shimmer in the distance ahead of the tanks. They both think back to their training and remember the part of how to spot a Muan tank. Both Pope and Blue radio to the tank commanders that they've spotted a Muan Baywak tank just as a tank round knocks out the front allied tank. The hidden Muan tank fires another shot but just barely misses the second tank which uses the second shot to find where the Muan tank is hiding and fires.

As the tank battle rages on the men come under fire from Muan machine gun nests. The men are able to use grenades to take out two of the machine gun nests but not with the replacements taken losses due to lack of field experience. Just then a Muan artillery barrage begins to rain down hell and shrapnel on the men. Taking heavy casualties the men are given the order to retreat so they grab the wounded and the dead and begin moving back out of the town. The men, unhappy at having to retreat yet knowing full well why, and retreat allowing the Muans to capture the town of Koanahou. The battle is a reminder that the Muans aren't going to give up easily and that this war isn't going to be over quickly.

Greetings From Skolwegia

Hello! I am new to NS and would appreciate any help with getting situated

Garnel

Old problems, new faces

The iron castle, west Emeralda

Ōyōkhakhan (overlord) Yōkübō kübōvōnō watches the control center of the nations military capital, all military operations are ordered and established or transmitted to here in some way.

A lesser ranking official, Ezhüjakhan (secretary commander) Lükaz Ewynj̈ carrying a printed paper
“Excuse me my overlord, we have received a message in Phenomia.”
The overlord takes the paper and quickly deciphers it

“Z̆̊̇nt m̯̣pྀtj༵ ð̯̥̣lq g༙ʃmི tŋཽ žlb ç̆̇dpོl çv༙ɱྀ wɡཽʃk̯̥̣ -q̆̊̇ŋ ðħ༵nི༙” the message reads

Developed using a partially artificial language to create the code “Phenomia” can only be translated by officials who know the language, especially high ranking officials, having a code is one thing, having a language nobody could understand but you is another, especially if it’s complex...

“What does it say my lord?”

“It says a riot broke out and military equipment was stolen, further more it happened at the golden castle...they needed reinforcements”

“Do you think it’s them?”

“It’s certainly possible...I’ll send a reply, don’t worry...”

The overlord heads to his office and sends a reply

“Dzི༙d hྀn̯̣ j̆̊̇m yŋ ðdི?”

No reply...

“Dzི༙d hྀn̯̣ j̆̊̇m yŋ ðdི? j̯̣f ʃŋ ɬnོ༙v̐x?”

No reply...

As he typed his third message he received a message

“ʃnོ w̯̣yn jnིħ”

“Know no war”

The next few messages said the following:

“There is no such thing as peace

There is only chaos

For the many to live in happiness the few must suffer

We will bring suffering to others to make the world flourish

The blood stained earth shall never be cleaned

We are an idea, ideas can never be killed

Through passion we gain power

Through power we gain victory

Through victory the world bends at our will

Our will is final

For all must die someday, but we shall make these pointless years tolerable

This is the way, this is our way, and soon it will be your way.”

The overlord was now sure it was them, the zapizapas who have been a massive pain in mineras side since the beginning of thier existence have returned in a new form, despite the purge

One common misconception is that it’s one group, in truth it’s an umbrella of ideologies and “heretical” beliefs, in the past they attempted to gain power in garnel but have always failed

However despite what outsiders think not all zapizapas are bad per say, just radical or very unique in thier beliefs, in fact one of the most famous cults internally is the zapizapas group “Yōsōka” meaning “the revival”

Their practices include raising money for the poor and giving jobs to the homeless, However the way they do this is often radical as some members have emptied thier own banks to help those in need, as they believe in the old principle that “for someone to live happily someone must suffer equally” and believe they must take the sacrifice for others.

In other cases they act as vigilante groups attacking organized crime sparking entire gang or mafia wars in the past pre purge.

In essence zapizapas is a title not a group, it’s a group of people who have radical unique or downright insane ideas of how the world works

In this case the newest incarnation of the “Azhragva” or the “agressives” is the “Öctlum œ mortis” or “death’s right hand” which aims to further purge garnel of any dissent, through violent means of course, they did this by openly attacking anyone at nationalist protests promoting unification or war and hunting everyone down like deer in a forest.

But that isn’t all, as a result of thier rising a new group formed from the targets banding together simply called “Abysnē ävid” or “black swords” have began campaigns against them with their end goals being to hopefully force garnel into reunification.

Initially neither were considered national threats, especially since parts of both groups such as important leaders and many members were arrested and sentenced to jail or death for terrorism

But now that either octlum or Avid has gone as far as seizing military equipment, the army will have no choice but to get involved

Until then however the overlord sends garō to attempt to join both groups and find out everything they can as a double spy of sorts.

The Imperial Hegemony of Helric

OCC: I am only assuming Fallih 'ceased-to-exist' because he left the region, and I believe this is how Helric should response to the situation.

IC: President Yuri has made an announcement in regards to the fall of Fallih.

"We as a nation, understand that the state of Fallih was once a home to a proud culture that resembles that closely to Helric's ways and traditions, we share an ancestry, history, and a proud lineage. Helric will be open to immigration to those from Fallih. On the condition that every immigrant must undergo an educational class on Helrican law, culture, and tradition; to prevent any culture clashing or potential misunderstanding. If immigrants can understand our minimal condition, they are more than welcome to be integrated into our society, and become that of our People. Of course you must find your own way here, but we will have to screen you when you enter for security reasons.

It should also be understood that Helric will not claim the land, nor have any involvement with how the regional government wishes to manage the discarded territories. If a state happens to reorganized under the disorganized territories, then we will go from there to begin to return to the proper formalities. All we can do now is resolve the uncertainty and confusion by contributing to the continental crisis.

However Helric does not have the jurisdiction to contribute to the migration of immigrants, and so that is where the nation has its limits. The only way the Helrican government could possibly receive, and process immigration and integration, is through the proper channels. I hope that Garnel will not disturb the migration of a sensitive race. Helric will intervene in any affairs that might prove any interference or mistreatment of these people."

President Yuri bows in respects to his request to the Garnelian government.

"That is all."

The United States of Berdune

IC: General Randall Smithers assembles the 138th Marine Corps Division, awaiting the signal from the scout regiment to begin the operating hours of the invasion onto Lemuria's direct Northern peninsula, originating from Shika Daha, where they were prepared and organized with the escort and support of the Berdune Navy.

With a simple gesture and phrase; 'God Bless Berdune!' from the General, the confirmation has been made and the Marnies have made landfall, successfully avoiding any defensive intruments, the landing crew provide support while they maintain continual contact with air support, in the insurance that any enemy ambush would be noticed before engagement.

The soldiers breaching the outlining territory, have come under the realization that the new continent is nothing like their temperate home. A quick analysis surveys ahead of the company to have a broader degree of their surroundings using small drones.

The mission is to secure the peninsula and hold until reinforcements arrive to push further South. Their main objective is to cause as much damage as possible while avoiding any trouble with the civilians. "For Democracy"

Meanwhile, General Randall speaks privately with his closet subordinates.

SIC:

"This is my opportunity to shine, gentlemen. After this victory I am surely going to be sponsored to run for the Presidency. This is the most probable approach to securing my place in the world. These men must not die in vain, once I secure the desired territory, I will gain the current President's trust, and convince him to use nuclear warheads on this pile of dirt, and there is nothing more than what the Berdunes want is a hero, destroying the enemy by the nukes that they are taxed for..."

General Randall is a renown military strategist for the United States. Known to be very aggressive, he has yet to failed a single battle in his career. This prized victory would secure his chances at being a recognized candidate for the upcoming elections. It is a make-or-break moment for him, so his ambitions have blinded him, regardless of the infamy he causes. He is famous for his socio-conservative ideology, Tabaco pipe, and patriotism.

"...Then once we get that pinko of a President out, we can finally return Berdune to its morals, I will not die knowing that this country is still being ran by a bunch of liberals. Socialists more like it, and you both know how I feel about socialists."

"Sir, yes sir!" both of the standing officers salute as a response.

General Randall makes his way to the command room where he answers a video conference call from the President himself.

"General Randall, it is a pleasure...what is [unheard muttering] oh...yeah how is the uh...mission?" President Piden introduces the conversation with a rigid thought process, and obvious symptoms of early dementia.

General Randall rolls his eyes and sighs. "President Piden. It is a pleasure, yes. You seem under the weather. Why don't you have Vice President Carris handle this like the rest of your business in the Oval Office, she has to do it all anyways..."

"Huh...what?" President Piden remarks as he tries to comprehend what the General said. Simultaneously, Vice President Carris moves the video conference to his perspective by shifting the position of the camera. "Yes, General. Be sure to report to us in 600 hours for another report."

The video conference ends.

"F**king pinkos." General Randall yells at the toke of his lungs as he switches over to a dart board with a picture of the hammer and sickle of the communist symbol. With already many darts struck into the near center of the image. The final dart hits right in the middle, "Soon, it will all be over."

IC:

Simultaneously, a second invasion was initiated 75-100 miles away from the first invasion force where the second, western pennisula begins.. A similar aggressive tactic was also being used, but this force was bigger force of slow-moving tanks and infantry, acting as a distraction from the main invasion force. This is an attempt to divide the defensive forces, create a gap where a third invasion force will use to pierce the interior of the continent. The third force will be faster, but its forces are still mobile, making their way to the continent from an off-shore battle station.

OOC: Actually under the map guidelines Fallih basically still exists as they have until the next map update to return and keep their space. Yes a map update is currently ongoing right now but they have until the next update to keep their place if they want to come back. Those are the rules to keep things fair and give people a chance to come back if they want. So they still in effect exist as a nation in Barbaria, all treaties made with them are still in place, and etc. Like I told Garnel on discord. 6 months to a year if by then it doesn't look like they're going to come back then I will make a statement stating that it is up for grabs or not. So please refrain from making any claims until such a statement has been made.

"This is my opportunity to shine, gentlemen. After this victory I am surely going to be sponsored to run for the Presidency. This is the most probable approach to securing my place in the world. These men must not die in vain, once I secure the desired territory, I will gain the current President's trust, and convince him to use nuclear warheads on this pile of dirt, and there is nothing more than what the Berdunes want is a hero, destroying the enemy by the nukes that they are taxed for..."

General Randall is a renown military strategist for the United States. Known to be very aggressive, he has yet to failed a single battle in his career. This prized victory would secure his chances at being a recognized candidate for the upcoming elections. It is a make-or-break moment for him, so his ambitions have blinded him, regardless of the infamy he causes. He is famous for his socio-conservative ideology, Tabaco pipe, and patriotism.

"...Then once we get that pinko of a President out, we can finally return Berdune to its morals, I will not die knowing that this country is still being ran by a bunch of liberals. Socialists more like it, and you both know how I feel about socialists."

"Sir, yes sir!" both of the standing officers salute as a response.

General Randall makes his way to the command room where he answers a video conference call from the President himself.

"General Randall, it is a pleasure...what is [unheard muttering] oh...yeah how is the uh...mission?" President Piden introduces the conversation with a rigid thought process, and obvious symptoms of early dementia.

General Randall rolls his eyes and sighs. "President Piden. It is a pleasure, yes. You seem under the weather. Why don't you have Vice President Carris handle this like the rest of your business in the Oval Office, she has to do it all anyways..."

"Huh...what?" President Piden remarks as he tries to comprehend what the General said. Simultaneously, Vice President Carris moves the video conference to his perspective by shifting the position of the camera. "Yes, General. Be sure to report to us in 600 hours for another report."

The video conference ends.

"F**king pinkos." General Randall yells at the toke of his lungs as he switches over to a dart board with a picture of the hammer and sickle of the communist symbol. With already many darts struck into the near center of the image. The final dart hits right in the middle, "Soon, it will all be over."

IC:

Simultaneously, a second invasion was initiated 75-100 miles away from the first invasion force where the second, western pennisula begins.. A similar aggressive tactic was also being used, but this force was bigger force of slow-moving tanks and infantry, acting as a distraction from the main invasion force. This is an attempt to divide the defensive forces, create a gap where a third invasion force will use to pierce the interior of the continent. The third force will be faster, but its forces are still mobile, making their way to the continent from an off-shore battle station.

OOC: You're new so you weren't here for a lot of important information but seeing as you put in all this work... And I see an opertunity for some Lemuria world building for me. You might not like this but what the hey.

IC: While Lemuria has been somewhat busy given the UTF Orbital Bombardment almost a month ago the highly centralized government has managed to deal with the situation over the past month and the bump in the road it posed is fading. Also despite the orbital bombardment the Lemurians still have their greatest defensive weapon for defending their homeland. The Berdune marines make landfall and see hardly any resistance. They continue their move inland. They see a barren landscape still recovering from the nuclear war of World War III against the Hyperboreans, Lemuria having served as the major battleground during that conflict, and while there are parts of the nation which have recovered through the help of technology and other areas weren't heavily impacted at all, this area is one of the number of regions which has yet to see any recovery efforts since King Ramtha's regime took power.

The Berdune marines make their ways inland across this wasteland receiving heavy doses of radiation. However after making their way inland they are engulfed by what looks like a sandstorm however the sand on the wind isn't like any of the soil around them but is instead black in color blocking the sun from view. As the "sand" begins to contact the marine's clothes and armor and weapons it is as if such materials begin to corrode even if it isn't made of metal. Eventually the infamous nanobot storm which is one of the banes of the UTF eats through their weapons and armor and clothes and begins eating away at their bodies. Within minutes a number of the marines have been reduced to what looks like black ash that is quickly swept up into the "sand" storm. If this hell couldn't get any worse the few remaining marines swear they see something moving around in the darkness of the storm. Then in a blur something rushes in grabbing one of the marines and dragging him off into the darkness, then another, and then another. It would seem that some unknown creatures of this wasteland are taking advantage of the Lemurian nanobot storm or perhaps have been released as a part of it.

While the marines that have made landfall are being eviscerated by the nanobot swarm and gods know what horrors are lurking within it the Berdune naval task force sees what looks like a black fog approaching on the horizon. As the fog comes into contact with the hulls of the various Berdune ships the metal begins to corrode and buckle. Then once in the heart of this darkness the Lemurian ships appear as if from nowhere. The Lemurian ghost fleet has arrived to once again drive away the lone Barbarians like they did when the Viking ships of the Greater Viking Empire sailed their ships too close to waters the Lemurians claimed as theirs. Once again there is but a small moment to retreat and prevent being devastated by the Lemurian defense.

General Randall and a handful of marines are able to escape the mainland with their lives with many of the surviving marines having gone insane by horrid abominations they saw dragging their comrades into the darkness.

The United States of Berdune

OOC:Here is what General Randall looks like, and yes I am a BIG McArthur fan.

OOC: Also some background information so everyone can get a basic understanding of what's going on and why.

It is written within Berdune's Constitution that the nation shall undergo constant election season, in which those with enough connections, merit, popularity, and intelligence can keep up and maintain their place in power; with no restrictions whatsoever. Those on top will eventually fall to those more significant to the nation. Those that can keep their promise and insure security is what drives the nation together since the First Civil War.

When the nation was first founded, it was weak and easily victimized to socialism, and the only way to prevent its reach over the nation was the demand of constant election, so those in power will have a harder time maintaining it without the capitalistic exploits that the system could achieve. This has shifted the nation's culture in rejecting collective and socialistic ways, and have entered an age of extreme individualism, where on is always out to get them regardless of shared blood or bound. It is a constant playing of cards, completing for the better place in society. Those suspected of socialism or believing in their merits can be sought out, and be removed of their position, and be replaced as the "Undesirables", which is a limbo in society of people who have no desire to compete or couldn't because of a lack of connections or wealth. They are usually minorities, orphans, socialists in hiding, and the working class. These folk are often conscripted and thrown into the front lines, or are used for cheap labor.

It is said that the President is the highest position, but within the law. If he or she can't maintain their campaign promises, they will be immediately impeached and removed from office, only to be taken by their Vice President. Another option if proof arose that they were socialists, and/or had the intentions to remove the system of which the nation was re-founded on. A second attempt at a socialist coup wouldn't occur until the Second Civil War...

Read factbook

SIC: General Randall's defeat was flawlessly advertised through Piden's informants, bring on the dismay of national embarrassment to the country. During a meeting between President Piden and General Randall toke place, a heated debate rolled on for several hours. As it would appear the nation would know about his recent failure, a turn of events unfold...

"You have the drive, BARBER?" General Randall codes in a message through a public payphone. "Yes, RED-DRAGON." the voice on the other side responds.

Within in the day, before President Piden could announce General Randall's failure to the nation, a disturbing story comes out that the President has been confirmed a socialist by leaked documents detailing agreements the nation has made with the Red Bloc in overturning the nation's security in exchange for payloads of money. His connection to the "Totalists", an illegal and unrecognized communist party, was blown out of the blue, resulting in the hyper-active post-modern telecommunications systems. The controversary has sparked major debate, but eventually it was blown into the Second Civil War. Where those who have rejected the system have rebelled against the government.

Ironically, General Randall was appointed as the military operator of the situation, and was given full authority by Congress to grant him Presidential powers as the line of succession would grant him immediate authority over the position, as President Piden had a heart attack, and Vice President Carris is missing in action. The Second Civil War will rage on for months, until the softened rebels were disposed of by Randall's forces. Because of his ability to defeat the traitors, he was redeemed regardless of his past failure.

General Randall was elected the President of Berdune for a second term, and in which was fully recognized by the People. He begins his time in office in rebuilding the nation's military, something that was severely underfunded, and completely underappreciated. Those who died during the attack on Lemuria were given a proper memorial with the President apologizing for their losses to their families, in the attempt to find grace in their mercy.

Then so, many military upgrades were ordered in, including anti-nanobot technology, power armor and exo-suits, more powerful military machinery, and much more. Randall's eyes will remain on Lemuria, and his gaze will never wonder...

OOC: I don't see anything in the post that says or indicates this character is a fascist. No examples of nationalization of industry, nothing about socialist programs, nothing I see as socialist or national socialist. Just seemed like there was a civil war, this guy was tasked with resolving it by his government what with his being a military person, ended up getting elected president afterward who at the beginning of his administration focused on national defense. If being a popular war hero and becoming president as a result of such popularity is fascist then I guess people the likes of George Washington or Eisenhower are fascist.
