[The Conez Imperium]

Request for Exterminatus

The plague of corruption has reached our sacred nation and now stands to defile it. How can we willingly let our own brothers become corrupted and mutated by these abhorrent disgraces called zombies. They have already crossed The Conez Imperium's border and now threaten our capital Providence. They can not be allowed to desecrate our glorious city with their unholy presence. There is only 1 solution to this plague, a campaign of extermination to destroy the plague that is set to destroy us. I support and declare that we give the ancient powers of exterminatus in these troubled times to the Inquisition, so that they can smite, cleanse, destroy, crush the enemies of the Imperium to dust. No plague can defile us while exterminatus is at hand. No enemy can defeat us while exterminatus is at hand. They will be properly demolished by the impacts of our artillery, broken under by the treads of our tanks and crushed asunder by the iron heel of the Imperium.

[The State of Monavia]

“A strategist’s greatest possible blunder is to propose a plan for refighting a past war instead of the war that lies upon him. A competent, forward-thinking strategist thus regards his solutions to past problems as wishful thinking, no matter how effective these solutions may be, and instead focuses on developing a new vision for ensuring victory in the war that has yet to erupt.

“If we are to apply this principle with any measure of success, we must put forth sufficient effort to conceive new martial implements according to designs that depart from the conventional mentalities of other great powers which possess far larger populations and endowments of scarce resources than our own country. To that end, I have chosen to invest the last four years of my career in this project because it represents an opportunity to tip the balances of power in our favor by exploring a technological avenue that our rivals have neglected and will likely continue to leave untouched in the foreseeable future. If approved, the designs I have proposed for the future of our navy may very well multiply the Imperial Federation’s maritime power far beyond its current boundaries.”

–BORIS STEPANOVICH LEVIN
MONAVIAN INVENTOR AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER
CLASSIFIED REPORT DATED MAY 7, 1997

Boris Levin was the man who originally conceived the designs for the Empress of Gales, a revolutionary Monavian warship outfitted with an arsenal so advanced that the technological capability to construct it (never mind the funding, resources, and appropriate construction facilities) did not become available until 2012. Since that time, the Monavian government has worked in an atmosphere of great secrecy to consummate Levin’s designs.

[Arab Jamahiriyahs]

"We have this stereotype in the world that we're jihadists, terrorists, people who blow up children and women to achieve their goals, etc. And when it comes to the people that actually do those things they say we're commies, slaves of the Russians, a nation who starve their citizens to achieve some utopia, etc. To change these misconceptions we need reform. Total reform. We shall rebuild ourselves into a power with free rights and united labour that when that time comes, the westerners, the actual jihadists, the imperialists, the Russians, they would view us not as an international islamic terrorist state, but a power. A power with reputation across the globe and be viewed more positively. And that's our goal."

Ibrahim Kezherov Al-Ahmil al-Baghdadi, first of the First Secretaries of our New People's Revolutionary Guide Council, the founder of our nation.
