The OOC group lets you participate in CoPS roleplays (without neccessarily having to be a member of IC alliance) while IC one is well, the IC alliance itself.

Acknowledging our hand in this, and my intent to continue to play with the Vorradians, I say Yay!... I mean Aye.

Oh the things that we'll teach the Vorradians in Vornia. Of the evils of Political discourse, but the wonders of civil freedom! Not to mention guns, lots and lots of guns. I can't very well say otherwise though.

Btw, this is not IC. At all. I know what subtlety is. liarjack.jpg

Nation Name: Reformed Vorradia (my puppet representing Vorradia after the war)

Why do you want to RP with CoPS?: Unintentionally, CoPs became an extremely integral part of my nations history and the reason why it is what it is today. The Coalition invasion changed Vorradia from a theocratic tyranny into a democratic nation. I want to RP with CoPs because of this heavy involvement in my nations past, and it's liberation from the church.

(the two CoPs ones)

Please link us to any factbook or NSwiki page about your nation:
If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation: In short:

Vorradia was first colonised by a few hundred war criminals exiled from Vahria, a pacifist paradise that was wiped out utterly when CoPs invaded.

Vorradia was a harsh inhospitable freezing wasteland inhabited by vicious warrior nomads, and the first Vorradians suffered terribly when they first arrived.

Alright, to save time I'll just paste a short history recounted by a character in the current Vorradian RP:

[spoiler]When they first came to Vorradia centuries ago, they were battered, beaten, bloodied weak and bewildered, after their exile from their ancestral homeland in Varhria for the atrocities their sect had committed in the Vahrian civil war.

They were banished to die in this terrible, lifeless, freezing inhospitable wasteland,
of the cold, hunger and disease.

But they had prevailed, struggling bravely on through years of hardship, misery and death.

They built a city from the ground up. They built it all, from nothing, a huge city that was the envy of the world.

They toiled and laboured through the freezing bitter winters and the burning, scorching summers that bought no more respite.

They fought off the constant predations of the savage natives, who sought to drive them out of Vorradia.

But they were determined. They would not just lay down to die, as the Vahrians had banished them to do.

They were determined to defy those who had sent them to die. By the heavens, they declared, they would not just survive in Vorradia! They would prosper! And grow mighty and strong.

Make a heaven out of hell.

And they did.

They abandoned their former name, they no longer called themselves Vahrians, No!

They were people of Vorradia now!

They pushed on through decades of unbearable hardship and suffering, and built themselves up into a nation to be proud of. They were proud, to call themselves Vorradians. They were no longer just exiles, disgraced for eternity.

They soon found vast quantities of gold, diamonds and other vital metals. Vorradia's frozen, lifeless soil hid untold mineral wealth. They laughed at the Vahrians, who had sought to kill them. Now they had become a far greater power.

Varhria with its pathetic, peaceful, pacifist beliefs was soon vastly militarily outmatched by Vorradia, a proud and vengeful people who sought to build up a massive army that would be feared across the globe.

The Holy Church of Vorradia, was formed, purely in defiance of Vahria, rejecting its traditional peaceful beliefs of tolerance, love and kindness and replacing it with a new ideology, and a view of the world in which the Vorradians were a superior people and the rest of the world was destined to be conquered and ruled, by them.

Determined to have their revenge, the Vorradians accepted this new church, and they led Vorradia into greatness.

For two hundred years, led by the church, the Vorradians built an empire that stretched as far West as the fertile lands of Kolvalia.

Lord Arbus dipped his head in silent remembrance of the hardships his people had endured to make Vorradia a mighty empire. It filled him with awe, and reverence.

But roughly one hundred years ago, Vorradia had under great international pressure been forced to leave much of its empire, and let those states gain independence. Though it still retained its name, The Holy Imperial Territories of Vorradia, only Vorradia itself was still under its rule.

As its power had waned, the people began to realise the mistake they made in trusting the Clergy of the Holy Church with absolute power. Embittered by the loss of their empire, the Church grew more and more tyrannical, oppressive and paranoid. The Ordos of the Church were formed, most notably the dread Ordo of the Ordos Anima. The clergy became obsessed with moral cleanliness, and keeping man from sin. Their hatred of the rest of the world following the loss of the empire made the clergy incredibly totalitarian and oppressive, desperate to retain a sense of superiority through moral purity and dedication to god.

That was when the Vorradia Arbus had known for most of his life, the Vorradia before COPS had invaded, first came to be. Though they had lost their empire, Vorradia still grew strong. Its vast mineral wealth allowed it to build its city downwards into vast subterranean caverns and tunnels, and build the system of shifting metal plates that was the surface of the city, built to control the release of heat from the underground manufactorums to warm the city.

Vorradia had still been great, though it had lost its empire. Imperial City was an unrivalled marvel of modern engineering and construction. The Ordos Militant led huge crusades to purge whole nations of infidels and heretics.

Vorradia had even set its eyes on hated Vahria, and occupied it easily, though guerilla warfare with rebels persisted for seven years.

The Imperial palace was built, a monolithic masterpiece of swooping majestic gothic arches and towering walls, lined with thousands of colossal ornate statues and icons, gilded with gold and embossed with countless diamonds and jewels.Tattered old banners had still clung proudly onto the walls, a reminder that the glory and absolute power of the clergy was still absolute.

It was a glorious age of power and dominion, holiness and purity, where sinners and evil were crushed and the Holy Church of Vorradia reigned supreme.

That was sort of Vorradias golden age, though it had lost its Imperial Territories, Vorradia was still massively wealthy and strong.The people were oppressed through cruel and degrading psychological engineering, and when that failed through sheer brute force.

Then CoPs invaded with its many allies, such as Imeriata and Allanea.

The war developed into a grinding stalemate. The thread died out a little later, leaving the conflict unresolved.

So, this year I continued the narrative, saying that Vorradia fell into anarchy after its military was crushed. Thinking the Vorradian threat defeated, the Coalition pulled out.

But after twenty years of anarchy, the clergy wrested back control.

Then I called on the international community for aid, which culminated in the Church collapsing through treachery from within, and the Coalition taking over.

CoPs is now running the operation to rebuild and reform Vorradia, though another narrative about Allanea invading Smullania looks like it will override the less interesting reformation and reconstruction plot.[/spoiler]

Awww, yeah!
Glad to see you here!

Meh, sounds PMT-borderline FT, certainly not applicable in MT. The question is why does your Church purchase these things, it doesn't exist let alone have a military anymore?

Well, the new nation will need weapons to defend itself.

The Vorradia account will still represent pre-war Vorradia, before its liberation.

Great job! I like it.

er..guys, can i warn you that the Alliance of Dictators is forming a 'Task Force Vengance' to take back Vorradia for the church.

I want to reform vorradia, and pull it out of the shitstorm and end the constant war.

Can CoPs help stop them?

You're the OP. You don't have to even let them post in the thread. You closed it. It is closed. Tell them they can't join if you don't want them in the RP.

^that.

Of course, if you would like to play the war out, the Coalition could crush them easily.

Yeah. You could let them join on the condition that their task force is totally destroyed.

Maybe my naval task force and invasion force that I sent there a couple of RL weeks back could actually do something...

The City of Prove Alone
The Almighty Nation of Cheeseball
12:30GD

There once was a mighty kingdom in the magical lands of West Mystria where the Grand Poobah Cheedar'd Snark sat pensively as he prepared the ride to Wensleydale. The coming of the invaders from the Westerhills of Toma filled his mind with unease as he spread out the maps which told of a continent across the sea where it was said that raging men and beastmen lived. Their terrifying visage sending fear into the hearts of all cheesedom.

"Perhaps they are not as evil as all the legends say." The Poobah said as the Knights of Denesly and Prove Alone gathered together for their strike. "HOLLA that we may strike a new age into the prosperity of Cheesedom!" Cheddar'd said as his noble knights struck the barbarians holding their best lances and together they clashed with screams of pride with the pegasi flying on high raising the banner of Prove Alone as they rained down death upon the Toma with their arrows.

"HAIL BE TO THE CHEESELORDS!" High Priestess Belle Mornia said as she recited Celestia's blessing unto their victory along with the coming and performing of the cheeserites, and with a march the hoofponies rushed bravely defeating the hated invaders who brought with them discord and filth.

That night the people celebrated their victory raising the silver goblet of freedom, for they had survived the days which led to greater prosperity for the Cheesedom.

"All Hail the warriors who fell in the battle, may their sacrifices be remembered always." Cheddar'd said as he looked upon the battlefield.

"Of you could of course help us get back up." The Hoofpony said covered in cheese. "That would be nice."

"SILENCE! I AM DELIVERING YOUR EULOGY DAMN IT!"

"Okay Milord."

"Oh that he was so young!" Cheddar'd sobbed as he hugged the hoofpony and helped him up. "He will be remembered forever.... Oh Squire A- what was your name young colt? "

"Wilson."

"but that is not a very pony like name."

"Stomping Rock! YOU SHALL BE AVENGED!" Cheddar'd cried out into the heavens as he raised his fist on high.

And so thusly was the story told of the battle of Westerhills! Praise be to the Cheesedom!

Please link us to any factbook or NSwiki page about your nation:
If none exists, please tell us a little about your nation: We are the almighty great cheeseballs who do celebrate cheesedom in all lands.
