NationStates

The nation of SP, and it's rival The FC Empire, have been technically at war for the past 40 years now, ending hostilities on a measly armistice agreement. 70 years ago, The Liberation War was raging between the nations. FC had conquered SP, and the people of SP wanted to rebel. SP captured the east part of the land, and fortified our country. In the recent days, the old one-party state of FC was illegally overthrown by militants of the FCian Nationalist Party. This party is counter-SP. Now, The illegal government is stockpiling nukes and WMD's. SP, who does not stand for the use of WMD's, issued an ultimatum to FC, blatantly disregarded.

SP's Peace Keeper Nation Act of 2014 signifies the country will only get involved in military conflict for peacekeeping, and self-defense. FC poses a major threat, as we stand right beside each other. The SPian government has responded to this by shutting down 3 out of 4 border checkpoints, and setting heavy economic sanctions on FC, but military conflict looms. What is left is to pick a side amongst the TMF, and hope the war stays cold.

BREAKING NEWS

We welcome you to this broadcast of the SPBC News! As the FCian conflict is growing worse, thousands of FCians, knowing that full-out war in their country is imminent, flee to the Portvia-Shengston border crossing, the last open of 4 total border crossings. The SPian Immigration Ministry gave out 3,560 Immigration visas yesterday, letting those Defectors across to gain permanent citizenship in SP. Today though, the Ministry had to slow down the number of visas given, and FCian defectors had no choice but to resort boarding onto ships, and sailing out into the treacherous Taake Sea, heading East for 450 miles, then turning South and reaching SPian land. Under the Refugee Protection Act, SP cannot deport these FCians, therefore making this a popular choice to enter the country. A vessel with 430 FCians on board sank in the Southern Taake Sea this morning, all 430 are presumed dead. Out of the boats that do make it to shore, 25 arrests for human trafficking were made. One thing is clear, The FCians want to escape their home country at all costs.

NIB will not tolerate the use of WMDs by any nation. The NIBMHC has approved an invasion force of 150,000 to send to FC. FC infastructure and military/gov't buildings are to be destroyed by a bombing force of 20 B-52's with 60 F-16 escorts. NIB calls upon the CFN to join the invasion.
(OOC: can we get an approximate location of this nation?)

Seeing our ally in the Verstehen Federation in such a predicament, Imperial States of the Empire has decided to provide monetary aid to the SPian Government for their use in what they see fit. Meaning all funds that have been going to Charleston is now abolished. Furthermore, due to our agreement in the Verstehen Federation and to the close proximity of the SP rebellion, ISOTE's Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs have agreed upon sending 2 flight teams of the Imperial States Air Force (ISAF) consisting of a total of 30 Rockwell B-1 Lancer Strategic Bombers while escorted by a flight of 50 F/A-18 Hornets.

NH Opposes FC in everyway, NH has prepared 300,000 soldiers for sp's use and more to come if needed. NEw hunterian Bombers are ready to start bomb raids on FC towns, and on key military installations. Hunteria Calls on the VF to prepare for war. Hunteria offers Weapons to be used at VF and SP need.

ISOTE agrees that it is the duty of VF to aid our ally, however the embargoes placed upon us constrains our resources and see that the need of a war is unnecessary. This matter should easily be dealt with the aid we are providing to the SP rebellion.

Tensions between SP and FC
The Republic of the Florence Union, after learning of FC stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, and now recent tension
between them, and SP, a long time Florence ally, who has recently, to much displeasure of Florence and CFN, has joined the
Versheten Federation. Nevertheless Florence will honor the friendship between our nations, as SP has stood by Florence through
thick and thin, so shall we. The Florence Union, pledges its support of SP, and will most likely be sending a army sized formation
of troops to aid SP. The exact number of troops, and the formation is yet to be determined. Florence also urges the CFN to have
an immediate vote on action to aid SP, we applaud NIB for rushing to help SP.

ROYAL GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Royal Federation of the Kingdom of Hélius (RFH)
Motto: ”La paix, l'unité, la prospérité”

The RFH PUBLICLY DENOUNCES The FC Empire on the accounts of producing and holding Weapons of Mass Destruction. Since there has not been trading between our nations an embargo will not be necessary. The RFH warns the Versheten Federation that the continuation welcoming threatening nations into their political alliance will be an act of war against the sovereign and the nation.

The RFH authorizes the CFN to relocate CFN security forces in my nation, EXCEPT the Suez Canal Zone (SCZ), to areas of need in the world. We have now began funding the re-creation of the RFH armed forces, but the number of troops is still classified. The RFH's hospitals and doctors are on red alert standby and camps will be created through CFN member nations that border the The FC Empire.

Yours Truly,

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF NEWLY ELECTED WA DELEGATE OF THE MILITARY FEDERATION SAMUEL MITCHELL:
As the newly elected leader of our great region, I wish to express my dismay at the current conflict between our nations. I urge all my fellow members of this region to take a non aggressive path with this conflict. As a long standing friend of the Republic of Rendanska and long time member of the Military Federation, I urge SP to give fair treatment to the FC refugees, and to try to end this conflict without bloodshed. But let it be known that if the sides do not back down, economic and immigration embargoes will be considered and implemented on the SP and FC nations.

An Official Statement of the Imperial States of the Empire's Government

"The ministries of the ISOTE government including Lord Sidious applaud the election of Rendanska as the new WA Delegate. We are happy to see the Delegate take action immediately in a path of non violence, something his predecessor lacked in. Therefore, Imperial States of the Empire will order its two flights of strategic bombers and fighters to return to base. However, ISOTE will direct 50% of its budgeted international aid to the SP Rebellion for use in whatever they see fit. That is a total of $68,085,000,000. We wish the SP Rebellion the best in their affairs against FC."

(OOC: Used NSEconomy to get this number. Since international aid is not reported in the administration breakdown panel, I multiplied the government waste by .051 because 5.1% is budgeted in the ISOTE government expenditure according to NS. Then I divided by 2.)

NIB hopes that the new, objective Delegate will help establish peace and relieve tensions between our nations.
Also, NIB would like to remind ISOTE that giving SP money won't stop a FC Nuke, and requests that ISOTE sends troops to aid NIB and Hunteria.

In addition, NIB has bombed key assets of FC, and will continue disabling military infastructure.

OOC:
Are we ever going to hear from SP or FC?

The ISOTE government thanks the NIB government for their reminder but will not provide military aid as said so by the Delegate. The monetary aid provided to SP can be used for their military or creation of more arms on the fight against FC.

(OOC: I agree with NIB, we are yet to hear from the main characters of this situation.)

NibFlix has just announced a new television series, Lord of the WMDs, and is sending film crews to FC now.

BREAKING NEWS

SP Is in the final stages of declaring war on FC after the FC Empire sent 3 Cruise missles over our land this morning. Citizens of Portvia report 5 unidentified objects flying over the airport, causing air traffic to halt. The SPian airforce was scrambled to intercept the threat, and when found they managed to re-direct the missles towards the Taake sea, where the missles crashed and no harm was done. SPian radar analysts confirm the origin of the missles from the FC empire. War is immenant.

NIB soldiers continue to advance toward the capital of FC, and the following demands have been issued by NIBMHC, NIBWJD, and the President:

---

The FC Empire,

Your hostile actions toward SP Rebellion and your possession of WMDs is intolerable and is taken as an act of War.
The FC Empire is ordered to turn over all WMDs and cease hostilities, and pay $1,000,000,000 to SP Rebellion and the Coalition of Free Nations, or you will face destruction by New-ish Bulgaria and our allies.

New-ish Bulgaria Military High Council

Chairman of the Military
General-Tessera, New-ish Bulgaria Land Forces

New-ish Bulgaria War Justice Department

Stanley Selta
Judicial General of the New-ish Bulgaria War Justice Department
Military Judicial Officer
Lieutenant-Minor, New-ish Bulgaria Combat Corps

John Somers
President of New-ish Bulgaria

(OOC: why so many names/departments?!?!)

The empire increased activity on the border. The Portvia border was evacuated as FCian troops rushed past, engaging in a firefight with the enemy soldiers. Meanwhile, in regards to the NIB threats, 800,000 troops are retreating back to the capital and prepare for war. This will be a dark day in history.

President Pearson is sitting down, watching live coverage of the SPBC, on scene and covering the crap going on in Baltimore when suddenly a breaking news bulletin erupts about the FCian attacks, and a helicopter covers the border crossing shootings. The president orders a Defcon 2. SPian troops deploy and head out towards SP.

LIST OF TROOPS:
12th, 78th, 98th, 134th, 12th, 60th, 83rd, 13th, 91st, 48th, 51st, 137th, and 198th Infantry companies, totaling 38,000 men,
45th, 29th, 63rd, 98th, 230th, 109th, and 48th heavy infantry companies, totaling 8,000 men,
45th and 39th Scout companies, totaling 250 men.

GROUND EQUIPMENT:
ALL TANK REGIMENTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF SP, totaling 3,400 tanks
56th, 84th, 78th, 12th, 45th and 87th Artillery companies, totaling 2,300 Artillery units

AIR TROOPS
69th, 18th, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 19th, 25th, 49th and 409th Mirage 2000 fighter regiments, totaling 2,900 aircraft
239th, 986th and 334th Bombing regiments, totaling 70 bombers

NAVAL TROOPS
14thm 65th, 19th, 13th, 31st, 67th and 43rd battleship regiments, totaling 150 ships
487th, and 409th Aircraft carrier regiments, totaling 8 ships.

War is imminent.

SP Starts to flank FC, by sending out ships to siege the country by the north sea, Ground units and tanks to invade the country through the DMZ, and air units to come from the south. The only possible escape route is through the west, but a jungle so dense awaits, the chances are slim. A squad of 1,400 men takes down a fence over the DMZ, lays down planks, and wary not to trigger the landmines rush across into FC and open fire upon troops. The border crossing is now restricted to SPians only, returning from FC.

The FC Empire,

It is regrettable that 80,000 FC warriors will die due to their stubborn and hostile government.
NIB bombers continue to bomb military strongholds near the capital city, clearing the path for our troops. Generals are reporting little to no losses.

NIB recommends that FC citizens flee the capital.

New-ish Bulgaria Military High Council

Martin Polemos
Chairman of the Military
General-Tessera of the New-ish Bulgaria Land Forces

President Jackson Danes, High General Alexander Griffis and World Assembly Delegate Samuel Mitchell request to all nations to attempt to limit all non-military casualties, including buildings, people and equipment.

As discussed per the WA delegate, SP will open its border back up to refugee's, and SP citizens ONLY. Over 240,000 permanent Immigration visas are being issued, but those who do not obtain a immigration visa will have to return to FC after the conflict ends. Meanwhile, SP's forces have penetrated FC's first line of defense at their border, and SPians are ordered to limit casualties of non-military elements.

OOC:
-What is the location of FC?
-Population?
-Some more FC communication would be nice.

ROYAL GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Royal Federation of the Kingdom of Hélius (RFH)
”La paix, l'unité, la prospérité”

The Royal Federation of the Kingdom of Hélius, undoubtedly having one of the strongest economies in the Military Federation will provide monetary aid to any nation that requests it. All requests will be reviewed and handled accordingly.

The RFH condemns the FC EMPIRE for sending missiles into SP REBELLION airspace. Prior to this event a partial trade embargo with the Versheten Federation was put into place. This embargo will be upgraded to a "full stop" embargo, going into effect immediately.

The RFH has created a volunteer military (consisting of former military personnel and the Imperial Guard -- RFH's police force) and all branches of the military have reopened: The Imperial Army, The Royal Air Force, and The Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy will be sending ships off of the RFH coasts for protection and emergency aid. The Royal Air Force is available for emergency aid as well and all other branches are on blue-alert standby. This aid is for CFN nations only.

Yours Truly,
