A beatiful blue sky and a ray of light, and hope. He opened his curtain, and the face of angel itself looked upon him. Cloud of blue, waterly blue of dream and innocence. Commotion of thought, sanity, and never ending sacrifice. History and struggle, mixed into one, a bastillion of resounding cries and legacy of ancestral dream. The sound of the very surrounding itself, heavily weighting down upon him. And with that within his mind, he closed the window, embroided with a mix of green and red imperial and royal embroidery. Left hand reaching towards his official pen, right hand reaching towards his handkerchief. He sobbed.

And he sobbed convulsively, yet softly.

The rite of passage and dignity. Sadness of a thousand waves, engulfed upon him, bearing down his old age, marking the end of his past youth. His dignified head was down, signalling the coming of his time. He sobbed, and sobbed yet even more.

A knock on the door once. He stopped suddenly. A knock on the door twice, he looked up and put his white watery handkerchief back within his own soft pocket. he straightened his glasses, and walked towards the door he did. Whereas upon the reaching of the brown imperial and royal ambassadorial colour, that very rite of passage engulfed upon him.

"Alas, it has finally come to this..", he thought upon himself most heavily.

He opened the door most eloquently.

A tall and stiff black-haired green-uniformed man, brown skinned and looking none older than fifty at most, that very antithesis, counter-proposition from the wise, ancient man himself. He looked at the opposing individual's eyes; alas, no sense of emotions sense could be trace within his light-brown eyes, signifying that very feature of a hardened man. He looked at the array of medals and glimmering metaphor of chandelier of a manly beauty and pride, and looked away he did.

"Please, come in.", he said in a dignified way.

The man nodded most firmly, and walked beside him, towards the main official desk of the chancellery official main room. They both sat down at an opposing end. The uniformed man looked at him most imperiously. "As you may know, honoured minister, the very reason why I..," and with that he stopped and looked at the old dignified man, "am here at this exact moment in time is due to the very fact that His Imperial and Royal Majesty, himself..", he stopped briefly yet again, right hand reaching towards his right upperfront pocket, just beside the utmost and decoration of gold medal, "has issued this letter to you most honoured minister, to represent his sovereignty and grace.."

And with that the dignified wise man stood up most abruptly, without further ado, alas reading the document in the first place.

"How dare you..! Do you think that of all the devil below this very honourable world and that fiery pit of the satanic underworld itself that you are the one who perpetrated all this lobbying and most... abominable act of wanton aggression..!", he pointed at the uniformed man most furiously.

"Do you know what would be the result of this..? Millions of innocent men and women will be hurt..! The very sanctity of the holy soul itself..! Tarnished without any hope and return at all!Her graceful soul. The most graceful and angelic Dual Imperial Monarchy's reputation and innocence.. Ruin..! You, of all devil and satanic breed of hellish wanton and menace itself, should have known of the very tragic and utmost consequences of this action of yours..!"

And with that he sobbed most passionately, yet even then his dignified and refined manner has not ruined his charisma and surrounding charm of aura, to the amusement of the uniformed man opposing him, still sitting within his side of the brown and comfortable leather armchair.

"I believe that you will know what to do next.. honoured minister", he sniggered most softly, and with that, he put the embroided documents, and finally, brown official letter on that very brown desk, dividing that very youth of dashing and courageous opportunism, and the old-wise age of sadness and regret.

The uniformed man left the office, and closed the door with a soft force of rigidity and firmness. The old man, stopped crying, and opened the window, for the second, and last time. He then picked the letter, signed the deep brown and most beatifully decorated letter, and put it upon his fax machine. And with that, the innocence of angel itself has been broken.

He looked at the blue sky, once again. Sadness, grief, and regret. And with that, he closed the window.

Subject : Diplomatic Communique'




Dear sir and/or madam


For a long time indeed, the United Kingdom of Globexanter has been the recipient upon a significant amount of various economic programme(s) originating from within the Dual Imperial Monarchy's central banking institution. Through close partnership and a strategic association of fund and base borrowing plan, I and my colleague Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Head of the Imperial Financial and Trade Ministry, has watched together as, year after year, a strong annual economic growth and the development and consolidation of the Globexanterian economy progressed, most solidly.

The Reserve Bank of Indonesia, the second largest financial and central monetary authority in the world, in close partnership with the Protectorate of Lyras's Lambda Financial and the government of New Azura's EAGLE Financial, has poured upon billions of Universal Standard Dollar upon the Globexanterian economy, in the hope that an economic prosperity and diplomatic camaraderie, will benefit the democratic government of Globexanter in itself, and in the hope of furthering diplomatic ties, and solidly established the United Kingdom of Globexanter as a benevolently positive member of the international community.


However, we have seen, finally and sadly, of what the current Globexanterian government stood for. To say the least that I, and the current government that i represents, feels a sense of diplomatic betrayal and loss of trust upon the chain of intergovernmental camaraderie, regardlessly broken without any regard at all by the current government of the Globexanterian Kingdom, surely has set a light upon the very purpose of this diplomatic letter.

Billions of Universal Standard Dollar has been wasted, efforts thrown into a deep pit of betrayal and self-grandeur of a sense of fallacy and fatal grandeur, the United Kingdom of Globexanter has finally decided to broke our long-held camaraderie, and decided that the very barbaric practise of slavery itself, would be practised within its national sovereignty. While the Dual Imperial Monarchy has rarely ever ventured out of its way to deal with petty matters and minor power squabbling and irrelevant nation's dealing with each other, we however, cannot turn our back upon this one.


From this day, hereby let it be known that a state of official economic embargo has been placed upon the Globexanterian economy. All corporations within the Dual Imperial Monarchy, will be given the full authority to purchase as much share(s) of Globexanterian companies operating within the Dual Imperial Monarchy as possible, seizing the Globexanterian companies in the process.

While the Reserve Bank of Indonesia will honour its pact not to touch nor damage any Globexanterian fund within the system of electronic registry at all, the Dual Imperial Monarchy as a whole however, will freeze all economic development and past and/or current economic aid towards your barbaric kingdom.

The Reserve Bank of Indonesia, furthermore, in co-operation and assisted with the current massive multi-trillion's amount of gold reserve held by the Dual Imperial Monarchy, combined with the potential of the second largest monetary authority in the world, third largest financial monetary authority, and largest monetary authority in the world, shall flood the Globexanterian internal market system as never seen before in the history of mankind. Inflation shall run rampant. Disease shall break your barbaric regime. Your currency shall be worthless, and your government shall fall.

The United Kingdom of Globexanter, shall be vanguished from this very world we walked upon, tamed like a beast, once and for all.


If this, still do not deter your current government and its barbaric associated representative within twenty-four hours' notice. It shall be known, for the first, and hopefully last time of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes's history, that a state of war shall exist.

This is not a warning. This is a promise.




Sincerely Yours

“War?”

The single word echoed around the chamber. Like the majority of the Imperial Palace Complex, the beating heart of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium, it was a strange mish-mash of styles and ages. The ancient, long oak table the Imperial Cabinet sat around was purported to be one thousand years old. Tastefully-placed LCD screens and monitors, however, were barely months old. The floor of the room was an ancient mosaic portraying the proclamation of an independent Tagmatium, twelve centuries ago. The carefully-designed chairs that rested on it on rubber wheels themselves were an odd amalgam of modern brushed steel and a style that was in vogue in the thirteen hundreds.

The Holy Emperor leant back in his seat and steepled his fingers, his habitual pose of thought. He also had an eyebrow slightly raised, displaying his surprise. That it was the Minister for Power advocating an armed conflict was unusual, to say the least. Frantzeskos Zemarkhos met the gaze of Holy Emperor Kommodos III for a moment before he broke the stare and looked away.

“Oh, no, Imperial Majesty, not war,” replied the Minister for Power, shaking his head and spreading his hands in a placating gesture, as if the Holy Emperor was furious with him. “We could never undertake such a thing against an ally! The horror of it! No, this is merely a rap across the knuckles. Think of it more in terms of… say… the leader of a wolf pack reminding one of its inferiors of its place. A little bite, to make sure they know who is top dog.”

The terminology wasn’t accurate, but Frantzeskos Zemarkhos didn’t really care. In his own point of view, wolves were there to be hunted with gun and dog. They weren’t even pests to him, as he had no sheep. Well, that wasn’t strictly true. Zemarkhos had thousands, if not millions, of the animals spread across his country estates, but it meant nothing to him. He employed people to worry about that for him.

“The Minister for Power might well have a point, your majesty,” said another voice. Zemarkhos looked down the length of the table at the new speaker and regarded him with veiled contempt. The speaker was the Minister for Trade. “The… Anago-Yohannesians are beginning to squeeze some of our concerns in other areas. They’ve been worming their way into markets we had to ourselves. It is…” the man paused as he tried to work out the best way to phrase it. “It is thought by some that they are willingly infringing on these markets, too. Perhaps even contrary to the agreements of the League. They know where we’ve drawn our spheres of influence and where we consider our exclusive markets to be. Up until this point, we thought they agreed.”

Zemarkhos raised his eyebrow at that, and he saw the expression mirrored on the Holy Emperor. The Minister for Power had been concerned about a couple of lucrative sidelines he’d managed to work out since he won the Ministry after the previous occupant’s death. That the Minister of Trade had a similar opinion meant that something might well be done about the situation, too. Takitos Khalkeos was one of the Holy Emperor’s inner circle within the Imperial Cabinet.

Some movement way down the massive table to Zemarkhos’ left drew his head around. A head was nodding, that of the Minister for Finance. Zemarkhos nearly laughed out loud with glee. Another trusted minister agreed. However, the Holy Emperor was, if nothing else, an authoritarian. The Minister for Power knew that Kommodos might remain unconvinced and carry on as he had been.

“Are you suggesting what I think you are, minister?” the Holy Emperor spoke again.

“Your majesty, it isn’t just that it is costing us money, and some of these backwater areas can be surprisingly lucrative, but that they appear to flagrantly infringing on previously-agreed rights.”

And that they have the temerity to consider themselves an empire, too, thought Zemarkhos, but he didn’t voice it. The Holy Emperor didn’t quite think like a true Holy Emperor. No, he was a new man. His grandfather had been a mere shopkeeper. Zemarkhos shuddered. Kommodos ignored and even accepted countries that accorded themselves the same God-give rights that Tagmatium had. It galled the Minister of Power so.

The Holy Emperor’s gave swung from the Minister of Trade, over the empty seat of the Vice-Chancellor and landed on the Minister for War. “Minister Kontarian?”

“It isn’t impossible, no. Far from it, in fact. The Anaga-Yahgo… Anago-Yohannesians, excuse me, don’t appear to be particularly strong. I just don’t think it is that advisable. Our friends to the north might, uh, not take it that well, your majesty.” Zemarkhos looked at the Minister for War with as much scorn as he did the Minister for Trade. Perhaps more so – Honorios Kontarian was a member of one of the ancient families, as was Zemarkhos, but he went along with the bean-counters and the little people made big.

“The Haru aside, Minister Kontarian.”

“Our best bet would be to attempt to get them to weaken their grip upon some of the trade,” said the Minister, rubbing at his chin. “It isn’t likely that they’ve got the forces in the area to risk much of a resistance, and we’ve got units closer to some of these areas. A show of force is likely to make them reconsider their current actions.”

The Holy Emperor gave a quick nod. “Thank you, gentlemen. I shall now go and tell the Dual Monarchy of our decisions. Good day, gloriosissimoi

He gave the assembled ministers their senatorial rank apparently without any irony, considering that it was the Holy Emperor himself who hadn’t called the Tagmatine Senate to session once in the six years of his rule.

To: the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes
From: the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium
Subject: Our shared trade routs

Honoured friends and allies,

It has come to the attention of the Imperial Government of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium that interests of the Greater Holy Empire are being challenged by individuals purporting to be of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes.

Obviously, this cannot be so.

We are brother nations of the League of Imperial Nations and the G20. We have dismissed such reports out of hand, as they are naught but misinformation spread by enemies of our two glorious nations, attempting to sow discord between us so that they may profit by our infighting. That Anago-Yohannesian trading boats are moving side-by-side with their Tagmatine counterparts is undoubtedly something that is of little importance to our two great nations. We expect cooperation between us to flourish in all fields as we are both nations of the modern era, more interested in trade and diplomacy than the savage battle of arms that obsessed nations in the past.

To this end, and in order to cast aside the pernicious rumours being spread by these unseen foes, the Greater Holy Empire has decided that the best course of action would be to set up a monitoring post, so that the Imperial Government can catch these scoundrels red-handed. The Imperial Government would not dream of trespassing in to the spheres of influence of the Dual Imperial Monarchy whilst doing so.

This is a matter that the Imperial Government feels that the forces of the Greater Holy Empire can handle alone, without the aid of our honoured ally. We would not wish to trouble you with such matters, as they are but a trifling concern to us. It is blatant to all that there is no substance to these rumours, but we will of course tread with care. We do not want to inadvertently besmirch the good name of our honoured ally.

We will not trouble you with the tedious details of our establishment of this monitoring post, as it is merely to protect Tagmatine interests and not to hinder the aims of Anagonia-Yohannes. The Greater Holy Empire would never dream of doing such. It holds the aims and objectives of its allies as high as its own.

The Imperial Government of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium
The above post may or may not be serious.

A butterfly of beauty and hope.

The core of mankind itself, deep within each and everyone of its inhabitants.

As butterfly do, flying enchantingly with its peaceful rainbow of innocence. The man then look at the fairly-sized oak tree just above him. It looks majestic, yet its wise age signified the chapter of a thousand life.

"Is everything alright.? Daddy..?", a sweet soothing sound of the one he loves. He looked at her daughter slowly, her innocence and grace. "Yes.. everything's alright, darling."

"Okay then..!", she smiled most broadly, and with that she ran abruptly away in glee from him. She looked back at his father, wanting, waiting for him, a graceful smile across her face. He looked back at her, and alas he could not hold his tear any longer.

He looked away at the umoving, peaceful blue sky above him. He wiped his tear with his right hand, and he looked back at his daughter. He walked towards her directions slowly, and finally but surely joined her. And yet, he looked again at the sky, to her beatiful daughter's amusement.

His name was David. The head of a middle income working class family within the Dual Imperial capital city of Jakarta, and a father of two loving daughters and husband of a loving wife. He shooked slightly, his left hand, wet from his watery tears. His right hand, holding a piece of paper.

Trading post or not, greed and a prevalent mist of insanity has prevailed. Whilst the United Kingdom of Globexanter will merely be a backwater within the grand scenario planned by that very same individual of abomination and false pride, the very same individual which announced the King-Emperor's announcement to Foreign Affairs Minister Syahnan Soeharto himself.

His name was Field Marshal Prabowo Sutedjo. And his mission was to accomplish one thing only.

The rightful expansion of the Dual Imperial Monarchy in Europa, and the subjugation of the Holy Empire of Tagmatium

For too long has the economic and military expansion of the newly emerging united Dual Imperial Monarchy, being kept at bay by the historically established major powers of the region, notably that of the Imperium of Machina Haruspex and The Holy Empire of Tagmatium.

Ever since its unification in 1987, the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes has become the largest national economy in the region, and yet no recognition was made of its hegemonous status. The Treaty of Sordath, established in 1991, has guaranteed each sphere of influence of the major economic, military, and political powers within the region of Europa.

Prabowo was however, not satisfied indeed with what was being granted as the Dual Imperial Monarchy's sphere of influence, by its historically established and elder major powers of the region.

The time of change has come, and while the goddess of peace itself wailed with painful anguish and sorrow, and so the peace of the region has been broken.

Much like their neighbor to the south, an almost identical scene was being played out within the central bunker of the military complex within that of Chel'de Yorn. Where Tagmatium drew upon history and the time long since past, the command bunker that Emperor Sa'Karn was current within, parlayed with none of the reminders of the past.

Fingers steepled against one another as he sat at the head of a rather long table of glass and steel. Woven beneath said opaque mirrored finish, screens displayed imagery that was reflected upon dozens of plasma screens. Of current, Vice-Lord Tiyu was currently addressing his attention, commenting off hand on the state of things. My Emperor, it is apparent that there is a state of emergency within the realm. Our comrades to the south are acting peculiar, and we think it is to the current activities of the Anago-Yohannesians. He paused to let the other high command staff input their ideas under the steely gaze of said emperor.

Fellow staff member and recently promoted Vice-Lord Nain, a member of the royal line no less, voiced her concerns on the matter. The woman bore the traditional tattooing that atypically covered women's right side of face and temple, while men were adorned on the left and so on. Fellow Lords and Emperor, we are at a crossroads. While our brothers of the League are near us, it seems to be the ever hungry maw of the Anago-Yohannesians that draws us into a potential conflict.

Nain turned slightly and pointed towards a central monitor, courtesy of a spy satellite. We can see here, more plainly of what can only be mobilization of Anago-Yohannesian military forces. They are not as of yet at the ability to be deployed, but it is the begining stages. I suggest comrades, and my Emperor, that the Legions be deployed, if not for our own sake, but for the rest of the realm.

Lord Skarin spoke then, he was a veteran of numerous battles, both with that of the Cussian threat and that of the civil war itself. I concur my Emperor, if nothing else, our ability for war is well known. They may think twice before attempting to move upon us, and should the opportunity present itself and our Anago-Yohannesian brothers prove to be less then honorable in intentions, liberators of new territory.

Sa'Karn nodded absently, as if digesting each statement as it was presented. Very well, begin deployment of the Legions vast. He paused. If they break the bonds of trust with us, we shall show them why the rest of the realm trembles when our name is mentioned.

He glanced towards Tiyu a moment. Carry forth my will.

Strange times abound, a brother declaring a state of war upon another. Do we not share the cup of honour, and faith in a grouping of nations bound by ethics and code of behavior becoming? It would seem such a thing could hardly be possible.

Yet here they are indeed happening. We wont further be poetic nor distracting. If you do not cease in your hostilities to a kin-nation, you will draw our ire, and we shall be more then forthcoming with blood and steel. Your nation will drown in a sea of fire, and your people shall be stricken from the very history books.

Mark our words, we take this slight in all it's seriousness. To break our fellowship of the League in such a manner, voids all restraint when concerned with your people.

Mind us, that we do not care for any or all of your motives regarding such, but we know you have declared hostilities to our brother to the south, and this cannot be tolerated.

Think wisely your next move, it may be your peoples last.

For so long indeed the Dual Imperial Monarchy has watched yet again, and again. Its every move blocked, its suspicious neighbours, realising that with the passage of time itself. Following its recent formation as a single union in 1987, Rajino Hamengkubuwono II, then only a king with the official title of His Royal Majesty, declared himself to be an emperor. With the formation of the Dual Imperial Monarchy as an imperial government, or empire, in the process.

Following the unification, regional tension arose. The Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex and the Tagmatium Holy Empire, then the most visible major powers of the region, felt a sense of suspicion, mingled with fear.

And with that, he exquisitely dropped his pen.


"They blocked us yet again.. and again..", Prabowo Sutedjo thought with a sense of amusement. He raised himself from his leather armchair, walked at the most regular and leisurely pace, towards an official map attached just beside his office's desk, just across the room. He withdrew the said map with the utmost contempt, and put the said map on his desk. He spread it opened, and observed the various dots upon the map.

It was not just another regular map. It was the regional map of Europa itself. Within it, unseen but to himself, was the unofficial sphere of influences upon the major powers of the region.


While the Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex and the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium has juggled it out in an unofficial act of aggression and cold crisis against each others' entities, due to the Sovereign Imperium and Holy Empire's close proximity in geographical and territorial sovereignties with each other, on the western continent of the region, the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes has been given a free rein and boundless opportunity of unofficial economic and political expansion upon its neighbouring realms within the eastern portion of the region. Within ten years of its unification, its national trading companies has dominated the north-eastern portion of the region, its portion of the so-called "sphere of influence" established in 1991, within the agreement known as the Treaty of Sordath.


The Treaty of Sordath was a conference of leading ambassadors originating from the leading major cultural, economic, military, and political powers of the region, and held in Sordath from March 13 1991, to 7 April 1991.

The objective of the conference was to settle the multiple major issues arising from the multiple economic and political upheaval located across the region since the beginning of 1970s. Some of the issues were the conclusion upon the exact informal sphere of influence boundaries of each of the major powers within the region. The recent formation of the Dual Imperial Monarchy as a single national entity and a multi-national imperial government, or its establishment as an empire, officially, for short, was also one of the underlying issue within the conference.

The historically established and leading major powers felt a growing sense of unease, day by the day, as the Dual Imperial Monarchy's formation as a single national entity has resulted in its emergence as one of the newly established major powers within the region.

The other regional major powers watched uneasily, as the Dual Imperial Monarchy's economic purchasing power parity, financial, and monetary banking sectors and scope of economic operations grew to become one of the large networks in the world, and one of the five largest in the region. Its central banking and monetary authority and its internal stock exchange and trading central value went to become consecutively and arguably the second largest, and largest globally.

As a result of the unease which followed, the ambassadors of the Sovereign Imperium and Holy Empire has finally, to the surprise of anyone involved, made a pact together, whereas any further territorial and/or economic expansion, whether it be by way of co-ercion or not, by the Dual Imperial Monarchy upon its neighbouring nations and minor powers regionally, will be dealt with most severely.

As a result of the diplomatic isolationism which characterised the fate of the Dual Imperial Monarchy's ambassadors within the conference, the Official Head of the Dual Imperial Monarchy's then ambassador to the conference, Tungkul Mahmad Diponegoro, had no other choice but to accept what was given by the other six major powers as the unofficial sphere of influence of the Dual Imperial Monarchy within the region.


"How embarrassing indeed...", thought Prabowo most seethingly.
He leaned his arms towards the desk, head's looking down, trying to block the vision of lost opportunities and a sense of unfairness.

"Well, we'll see who'll be in charge soon hereafter.. won't we.", he sniggered most menacingly at the map.

And of course, with the departure of the Foreign Affairs Minister Syahnan Soeharto from the political scene, there was no one to stop him. Emperor Chandra Hamengkubuwono II has long been a known advocate of the ambitious field marshal, an informal father to him, someone who shared his ambition and nationalist pride, and valour.

Just this morning, Prabowo was conducting one of the most important military conference in the history of the Dual Imperial Monarchy. Five Field Marshalls, eight four stars' generals, twenty one three star's generals, and multiple other senior Lieutenant-Generals were present.

And not just that, he thought most amusingly to himself. Most of the senior economics and financial figures and bureaucrats of the Dual Imperial Monarchy were also there. The reason was the most simple fact indeed that indeed, this would be a specific conflict far different than any other seen before in the history of mankind itself.

Indeed, he thought to himself. This tactic has never been tried nor has it been attempted ever before, as far as Prabowo remembered, and all the economics and financial figures present as well, ever before in the history of mankind's warfare, whether it be tactical and/or strategic conflict.

Even yet as he thought and reminiscent within his office, most of the said operation has commenced already. "An economic warfare..", and he raised his head at the map, towards the coloured symbols indicating the various sphere of influences of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium and the Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex, "unseen before in the history of mankind itself...", and he sniggered yet again, even more menacingly.

And with that, he decided to close the map, put it below the office desk, and walked slowly towards his office door. He opened the door, and close the said door as gentle as possible. Yet, he knew, his inside at that exact moment in time felt as if it was about to explode, stumbling into utopia itself.

Imperial Palace, Valgard

The Crown Prince was, as usual, busying himself to the daily duties required from him as the future Emperor. Till he ascended to the throne he main purpose was to dictate the Empire's foreign policy with non-allies and to... ensure that the Imperial bloodline was passed down into the new generation of Imperial princes and princesses. Thus when a servant first came to the doors of his quarters he was denied admittance for around half of an hour.

When at last the Crown Prince was informed of the recent goings on he decided to make a bit of gamble and support Yohannes in their recent war. While he would have to first gain the tacit approval of the Empire's various noble houses he felt that this was would be a relatively minor one in terms of the number of dead and that the payoffs in the long run would more than justify the lives spent in the conflict. For the time being though a simple letter of intent would honor bound the Empire to defend Yohannes and as such force many of the Lords to agree to the war in order to save face.

Imperial Declaration


The Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans does hereby find that Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes is merely exercising its rights as a sovereign nation in this matter and it is not attempting to usurp any of the rights of other states. Therefore we Scandinvans do find it necessary to defend the Dual Imperial Monarchy from the threat posed by the nations now aligned against it.

Signed,
Imperial Steward,
Lord Erida

"For five thousand years has our Empire endured. In war and peace we have thrived. Against overwhelming odds we evolved. No matter what we face we have always survived and grown. We shall always be triumphant." -Emperor Godfrey II

Nation of Origin: The City-State of Deus
Location: Silver Palace, Grand Central Plaza
Date: Unknown
Time: Unknown

"Really? You expect me to give up my hard earned money for beggars?"
~Titus Likland, Minister of Finance
“This is outrageous!”
A shrill yell echoed out of the silver palace, the shining sun bouncing off of the large building, everything moving so fast and quickly today. The voice came from the minister of finance, Titus Likland, his pale face quickly turning bright red as his anger grew, this “war” abroad having major effects on Deusan trade. Likland was a greedy man, nothing short of that shady uncle who would always swindle you out of a few extra dollars. Likland however gambled with much higher stakes, often with lives at risk.


The man was buried under deep criminal activity, yet no one in their right mind would confront him or take him down. Likland was furious, the war abroad concerning the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes had drained his personal funds dry as his “workers” and “supplies” were no doubt destroyed or apprehended by the foreigners. He had lost a million within the first few days of the event, his heart beating furiously ever since then. He cried out again, banging his hands against the kings desk.


“I demand immediate government action! I’m losing to much damn money with this going on. Just imagine when this is all over and those….those barbarians start poking at our trade, then what? We need to stop them here and now!”


Lucifer nodded, the war wasn’t their problem, and none of it was. Something was up, Likland would never just thrust his support for a war like this and as the minister continued to scream and rant his façade shifted from helping the foreigners to wiping out a non-existent evil. The air smelt of fraud and corruption yet the primitive nostrils of these imperfect humans couldn’t pick up the scent of betrayal. However the king stood slowly, his metallic arms shining from the sun behind him, the rays beating on him.


“What’s going on over there is not our concern…..we can’t go poking our noses into every problem that arises. No matter the reasons however the duel monarchy is the aggressor and at fault for this. I suggest we wait it out before coming to any conclusions.”


Lucifer folded his arms slowly, pacing back and forth as the minister calmed down, his red, boney face going back to its original color of pasty white. He breathed heavily and made his way to the door, the meeting unofficially dismissed by the king’s gesture toward the door, the angry minister pouting like a child as he stormed off, a wide smirk covering his face as he stepped out and shut the door. He slowly started to walk, looking around each corner, checking for others who may be around to hear him.


He took out his phone once he saw it was safe, slowly dialing a number out, a gruff and muffled voice on the other end. Likland paced back and forth answering “okay” over and over , the word being drummed into his mind until it was his time to speak, the words crisply sliding out of his mouth, his words and tongue serpent like in all manner.


“The king has authorized the use of NACODD. He’s placed me in charge of the operation…..Yes I have the credentials…32322234234….Yes….Yes….Okay….Okay….Thank you very much.”


The minster smiled as he walked out of the palace, hanging up his phone and jumping into his car, the vehicle quickly speeding off into the distance. This minister, this poor, corrupted official had just set in motion something he could not dare comprehend as the covert operation he had just authorized steadily began, the mass of supplies, monetary transfers and PMC recruitment all of it for the forces of Deus who slowly prepped themselves for a secret war.

The sound of footfalls echoed along the corridor. The floor was, typically, marble. Every so often the sound of footsteps was drowned out by the crash of a member of the Imperial Household Guard snapping to attention before relaxing again as the walkers passed. The walkers had no fear about the guards overhearing their conversation. Little said deep within the bowels of the Imperial Palace Complex got out. This conversation was similar, but the repercussions of it would be felt across the region and, in all likelihood, across the word.

“Did you find it as surprising as I did, Minister Kontarian?” asked the Holy Emperor of one of the figures that followed in his wake. The others were the towering Domestikos of the Imperial Household Guard and the Imperial Secretary.

Kontarian walked along in silence for a moment. He wasn’t one of the officials the Holy Emperor regularly had informal conversations with. Kontarian didn’t think that the Holy Emperor was ever informal. The man must have been, at least four times, unless he’d managed to conjure up his children in some other manner. Perhaps he’s much better than the rest of us at keeping home and work separate, thought Kontarian. Kommodos didn’t seem to be in a particular hurry for an answer, so the Minister for War continued thinking to himself quietly, occasionally flinching as one of the guards thundered to attention.

“Yes, your majesty, I did find it surprising,” he said in a thoughtful tone. “Perhaps they’ve been itching to do something like this for a long time. I know our communiqué couldn’t be regarded as anything more than a provocation, but I didn’t think it would lead them to declare war, not this quickly.”

The Holy Emperor nodded. “I expected undeclared war at the worst. I didn’t think that they’d be fool enough to potentially drive apart the League.”

The Minister for War raised an eyebrow his monarch’s back. That was the first time in a long while that he’d heard the Holy Emperor admit that he might have been wrong in enacting Tagmatine policy. Kommodos was silent for a moment before he continued speaking.

“I think it might be because they have more to lose than we do,” the Holy Emperor continued. “Whilst these areas have been regarded as within our sphere of influence, the Dual Monarchy has a reputation as an economic powerhouse. They strive in pursuit of a free market, or at least a market freer to them than anyone else, and someone closing off such a market to them would damage their prestige.”

Kontarian nodded. It sounded like it made sense. He didn’t pretend he knew too much about the Dual Monarchy (no Tagmatine would ever refer to it as ‘imperial’ outside of areas where they were forced to by diplomatic niceties), and it sounded like the sort of thing more capitalist-orientated nations would do. Still… an outright declaration of war… it had caught the Imperial Government by surprise. Only a mediocre task force was on the way to the flash point, as the Greater Holy Empire had not expected anything more than a tit-for-tat response until one side decided to back down.

“It plays in to our hands somewhat, your majesty. By declaring war first, with virtually no provocative act on our part, it makes them look unstable.”

It was the Holy Emperor’s turn to nod. “Exactly so. However, it remains to be seen whether we can spin this out in a manner which reflects badly upon them. They have rather more international allies than us, and many nations don’t weigh up their actions before they throw themselves in to conflict with another.”

“And not a half-arsed raid on a radio station in sight.”

The Holy Emperor looked over his shoulder at Kontarian, a look of puzzlement on his face. “Forgive me, Minister, but I don’t get the reference.”

“Doesn’t matter, your majesty,” replied the Minister for War, shaking his head. “I was only remarking on poor pretexts for war.” What Kontarian also wanted to add was and we might well had one ourselves. He didn’t though. It wasn’t particularly necessary as a comment.

The small group walked towards a large wooden door, which was opened by the two guards standing either side of the door. It was the door to the Imperial Office, which (as the title suggested) was the personal office of the Holy Emperor. It was where most of the policy of Tagmatium was laid out. A gaggle of senior officers of the nation’s armed forces followed them in, their chests shiny with medals. They were the High Command of the Tagmatine armed forces, and the Minister for War gave each one a friendly nod as he walked through them to get in to the Imperial Office. Most of them were old family friends of the Kontarians, all members of the ancient military aristocracy that a lot of the power of Tagmatium was built.

The High Command had no particular love for a civilian sitting on the Leopard Throne, especially not one who wasn’t a fellow member of aristocracy. Honorios knew that keenly, as he’d aligned himself fairly closely to Kommodos, much to the High Command’s chagrin. However, Kommodos had let them loose more than once and they had often found glory when following his edicts, so the Minister for War guessed that they’d stick close to heel this time too.

The officers followed in and sat down on a semi circle of chairs that stood opposite the large desk, which itself stood in front of a vast window. The window looked down upon Saint Konstantine’s Square, named after the founding monarch and patron saint of Tagmatium. Kontarian was the last to get to his seat, the officers having precedence over a civilian minister in the protocols of the Greater Holy Empire. They all sat down once the Holy Emperor had taken his place opposite them at the large desk. The Imperial Secretary came forward and placed the Imperial inkpot, with its purple ink, down in front of Kommodos. As soon as this was done, the Holy Emperor sat forward in his chair.

“Minister Kontarian, if you’d like to begin.”

The Minister for War nodded. Once of his duties was representative of the Imperial Government to the High Command, as the Holy Emperor was not head of the armed forces of Tagmatium.

“Basically, gentlemen, his Imperial majesty and I have only one real question: where the hell do we go from here?”

Subject: War?

Honoured friends and allies

We are most shocked and appalled at this recent declaration of war aimed at us, your brother-nation. The Imperial Government of the Greater Holy Empire is astounded that you would do this to us, who have stood side-by-side peacefully for years. We have not threatened you – we only wanted to get to the bottom of a mystery that affected the both of us. We had no idea that you would take this as an attempt by ourselves as an infringement of your nation’s rights.

If anything else, one might suggest, the Greater Holy Empire ought to be doing exactly that to the Dual Imperial Monarchy, as we find ourselves abused for doing nothing more than defending our interests from the depredations of wolves and bandits. Do not think that we will sit idly by as you attempt to rub our noses in the dust, adding insult to injury as you threaten our interests and then decry us for trying to prevent it happening.

You are risking our wrath by acting in this manner, and do not think that the Greater Holy Empire makes idly threats. It has endured far, far longer than the Dual Imperial Monarchy has. We have seen nations such as your’s come and go. However, as Tagmatium is an older nation, we have been able to learn from history. We are willing to overlook this lack of judgement, so long as you do not try to thwart us when we protect our interests.

"They did what...?"

A majestic and voice of steel, symbolising dignity itself. Its sound reverbrated, a vibration of authority and sovereignty within its surrounding, within the chamber. It was here that the the proclamation of the Dual Imperial Monarchy was made. The imperial chamber was incomparable in grandeur and decoration, like none other within the sovereignty of the Dual Imperial Monarchy.

It was here, that it all had started, when the ambassador of the Holy Empire of Tagmatium, had imposed upon the repercussion of the Treaty of Sordath. It was here, while he watched helplessly, that its neighbouring powers had humiliated him in front of his very own subject.


"The end of this abominable humiliation indeed..", the Emperor thought with a seething expression.

He raised himself from his throne, walked rigidly in a state of slow motion, and touched one of his most valuable chinaware decoration located just across the room. It is an Imperial and Royal porcelain vase, made specifically as a symbol of his sovereignty across the imperial land.

Its glimmering base colour of white and blue, the symbol of his authority and perseverance of the majestic imperial land itself. "It is indeed interesting to see that indeed, my majesty, they had not yet realised the very reason of this declaration of war announced by us.", the uniformed man just across the room spoke wonderingly.

"Indeed, they had not", and the Emperor turned his head briefly in reply at Field Marshal Prabowo Sutedjo. He then turned his head back at the valuable chinaware, whilst speaking in a slow voice. "And as you have informed me, i believed that you shall..", and he, slowly, looked back again towards the Field Marshal's direction, this time with a glare of unflinching concentration, "be able to take care of the troublesome Haru just across Imperial Tagmatium..?"

Prabowo looked at the heavenly figure in front of him, watching with an ambiguous expression that even he himself, of all others, could not decipher at hand.

"Yes, my majesty. The operation to tame the troublesome Haru has commenced, even as we speak. It would be better, after a brief discussion with our colleagues at the General Staff, upon the current operational map as in the relation as to how we are encircled strategically, that we awaits their invasion fleet to progress within our sovereignty. Our concentration of Longswords and Ark Royals' centred Home Fleets shall do the talking", and Prabowo stopped in a brief moment.

He turned his eyes towards the arch windows at the side of the room, trying to tear the unflinching gaze of the Emperor.

He then speak, yet again, "And we believe that, in the case of the Tagmatian, we shall proceed with plan B, my majesty..?".


Putting back the articulate piece of fine art where it belonged, the heavenly figure replied back most knowingly, head's turning at the direction of the Field Marshal, "Indeed.. we shall."

A state of war has exists between both sovereignties of our majestic imperial realms, and let it be known that this time, we shall not fold our wing cowardly, as you thought we would do as so.

Your endless threat meant nothing to us. We shall fight, eternally and never ending, for our people, and for this Fatherland of ours. For the right of sovereignty itself.

We await you on the battlefield, Brother in Arms.

Postby Machina Haruspex » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:50 pm

No foreigner had ever stepped within the pyramid shaped Temple of the Paragons. Composed of basalt stone and smooth volcanic rock, the building stood out amidst a veritable garden of green and other flora surrounding it. A single entry visible to the naked eye lay in the center.

At either side, stone statues stood guard, rifles raised towards the sky and slightly at an angle of which banners of the Imperium fluttered from in the wind that stirred up now and then. Beyond heavy oak and iron doors that were as of yet, opened inwards and inviting, lay the interior corridor that led into the main hall. White stone faced inwards and bathed the insides in a soft glow as light radiated from on high. To the left, more banners and stone statues of Emperors and Empress's past.

To the left, the same, stone figures and banners from times before this. Ancient was the House. Black tile upon the floor clearly marked a path towards the center piece of the temple itself. A massive sculpture of the first Emperor Hark'an. Book of prophecy in left hand, the right bearing a globe of the known world. The message clear, convert all the world over and there will be peace.

Kneeling before said statue, to the right upon thin reed mat provided for such, the form of Sa'Karn rested. Palms upon knee's, fingers inward, shaven, tattooed head bowed down with eyes closed as in communion with beloved Paragons of who's will was served to an everlasting mission.

It was during this peaceful meditation, that his mind wandered. For a time, during the long nights, Sa'Karn had wondered about the Eastern lands, and what was to become of them as the Dual Empire arose to a position of contention with that region. As the years progressed and all that had been lost during an age of savagery and civil strife, that wandering set of eyes looked to the East once more.

Behind and fanning outward, were others of lesser status, similiarily outfitted. Men and women of action, experience, and training. The most dangerous officers of the Imperium's Legions, from a range of Houses. Primarchs in the making, they could potentially become champions of their bloodlines based on the coming actions.

With prayer done, they waited until their Emperor had arisen. Once he did, all nearly six foot six frame arose to be the giant of a man that had traversed the distance to the gates like all those before, Sa'Karn turned eyes to those present. In the old way with movements of hands and fingers, shaped a story, a passage from the Book of Dra Crehehk Cuh.

Attendant to your nobility
Ask for your master's umbrella
The dews 'neath the trees of Miyagino
Are thicker than rain


As the Emperor weaved the spell of words and gestures to make a picture be presented, another of nearly equal standing stepped inwards, bootsteps against the ebony tiles. A slight nod to the others present. It would be only then that the dripping sounds would come through and flow about the interior. Creaking of gears, and the statue having been prayed at, split slowly in two pieces, allowing a platform to arise with a cage of iron atop it. The cage was massive, able to hold nearly a dozen souls within and as such was the moment, it did indeed hold that many.

The platform and the cage itself already stained with splotches of blood from the useless flailing of limbs from captives. Cut off from their peoples, they were savages and or lost to the point of madness. Some had drawn inwards, or were the same, keeping to their heretic faiths, though such cases were rare.

You see, chosen of the Paragons, there will be no joy for some of these souls this way. They and their bloodline shall witness an end in some fashion that will be felt by those of their line that has escaped us itself, an empty dispair. Pause and then glance back, a ruthless look to those eyes as he viewed the rest. Those of you on the other hand not taken by the blade, shall be granted a noble death, you shall water the earth in ceremony to Tyng Sudran, an offering for the coming march.

Wails of fear arose and such the sweet music it became. It filled Sa'Karn and the rest with a presence of holiness that could not be attained any other way. Those not marked for the sacrifice by the simple end of a blade were spitted upon pike and set to the corners of the temple, so that their blood would create rivers upon the green earth, breathing life for a moment into the surrounding landscape.

This ceremony was ancient beyond measure, a thing that was not shown to the rest of the world, and few could only guess at the savagery of the Haru people. In jest, other nations might actually be correct as to their ways. The land of the Black Sun and the Red Moon had never been fully viewed by outsiders. Tiyu kept his comments of such in his mind of course, and the pride he felt at belonging to his people soared.

The temple shifted, it's floor spacing apart even as Tiyu watched, the throne chambers of the Oracle arose and filled the temple's interior. Here in this place, of ravishing serpentine coils of the soul, a bleakness awaited. A sterile reminder of why life, true life beyond such as this, existed in the physical. The dark pools maintained by acolytes of the faith, six of each Paragon, odds and evens in their arrangement before said Oracle.

Whether or not her actions were truely farseeing as one might come to believe, it could also be complete rubbish, it was a posting that had been ordained in the First Nights. So it would continue, and Tiyu had to admit strange things did occur from time to time, but for the most part he did not partake in this particular portion of the faith.

Still the Haru were as a people superstitious, beholden to beliefs and so forth from ages ago that most people had lost. The belief in this case concerning the Oracle would both soothe and excite the Legions vast. If she supported the actions of the Emperor with a good reading, then the morale would be very high, near zealotry in likeness.

As the general staff stood in a half moon position about the Emperor, the Oracle did rise. She was slender, runic tattooing covered her from foot to right side of face, tastefully even as Tiyu came to admit to him. Her semi-short dark hair pulled back and threaded into something that a woman might have styled centuries ago. A gown of nearly see through silk adorned her blu-ish white flesh, a sign of a pure-blood. Slow motion of her left hand over the nearest pool, eyes upon the ripples. The Prophecy is ancient, though the enemy was never known, until now. The serpent shall test your Emperorship, it's coils shall attempt to wring the life from you, it's claws shall sink deep, and it's fangs shall bear poison, while the wind carries forth it's howl.

A pause and the air was thick with tension, almost nervous with excitement as even the cynic Tiyu came to hang upon what was to follow. For all it's bluster however, this enemy shall underestimate the heart of our Emperor, of the warriors who swore the oath of blood. They will sink deep, but not deep enough. Your parrying blow will destroy their idea of us, and your death strike shall begin the route of fear in this enemy. With praise of the Paragons, I, the Oracle, offer support to you, my Emperor. And with that, she dipped her head slowly into a bow of sorts.

Perya
Sixteen Hours Later


Prata-Khan Hessis took station beside High Cleric H'dlak, as they stood upon the slightly raised bridge section of the Cbayn class dreadnought Yesol. A slight dip of head from the subordinate before taking a more formal at ease stance.

H'dlak for the most part appeared very much the royalty of clergy. He was also however one of the most capable naval commanders in the Imperium.We have our orders Hessis. Alert the officers of the other ships, by command of the Emperor, we sail for the Dual Empire. Furthermore, we are cleared for the following position. Destroy all and any enemy forces, eliminate any and all resistance. Transmit to all fleet officers this condition set by the Emperor. Hessis dipped head once more and then replied. As you will it my Lord Cleric. It shall be done.

With further blessings from H'dlak and other members of the council of royalty, the fleet under command of Hessis and his command ship, Sarol'veldruk " Weaponmaster ", comitted to traditional ritual. An array of cleric's nestled within the center of the ship, prayer meditation to the goddess of the sea Zeboim. Live sacrifice paid, those who could never be apart of their world, those who had failed the examination upon birth, kept in containers until now, were arrayed upon the decks of the command ship and then in a ritual long performed, gutted like fish so that their blood would pour over the decks and into the sea. Purification through blood rites. Offering of the heart and liver to the sea for good voyage and the cover of a storm.

In perhaps the first true awakening of the Occident to the going on's of the Imperium's military machine, would first be the swell of heat blooms from the massive port, followed by the Grand Fleet's movement, of which serviced trade and so forth on the waves of the Ranke Sea. Dreadnoughts, carriers, destroyers, transports, logistical vessels, missile cruisers, dozens of naval craft were exiting Perya's loving grasp for the open ocean.

In conjunction with the Grand Fleet, other smaller strike fleets were also departing their home ports. Everywhere from Secundus to Kaladana.

The vaunted Imperial Navy submarines had put to sea several hours ahead of their surface counterparts. The surface fleet sub-commander and subordinate to High Cleric H'dlak, Vice Lord Shuga, made little deviation from a course that was more then obvious. Bound by their route to come through the Storm Sea, and array in a fashion that meant taskforces aligned in specific areas that would allow the Haruspex Imperial Navy to command a wider range of control over both the litoral and the open sea.

With the plan being to engage and destroy any surface or sub-surface naval craft belonging the Dual Empire. Furthermore, once within range, the Grand Fleet would then take the role of siegecraft, offering it's deck fighters and bombers a land based target. The plan was solid and even the High Cleric approved of it. This was a cause of much peace of mind for Shuga, for if the cleric showed favor then the goddess might as well.

The Crown Prince was, as usual, busying himself to the daily duties required from him as the future Emperor. Till he ascended to the throne he main purpose was to dictate the Empire's foreign policy with non-allies and to... ensure that the Imperial bloodline was passed down into the new generation of Imperial princes and princesses. Thus when a servant first came to the doors of his quarters he was denied admittance for around half of an hour.

When at last the Crown Prince was informed of the recent goings on he decided to make a bit of gamble and support Yohannes in their recent war. While he would have to first gain the tacit approval of the Empire's various noble houses he felt that this was would be a relatively minor one in terms of the number of dead and that the payoffs in the long run would more than justify the lives spent in the conflict. For the time being though a simple letter of intent would honor bound the Empire to defend Yohannes and as such force many of the Lords to agree to the war in order to save face.

At 8:34 A.M., three black limousines slowly slided into the Governmental Buildings in the Globexian capital of Carcassonne. As soon as the cars reached a meter of the front gates, guards quickly opened the gates, allowing the cars to be searched by explosive experts. In the third car, the PM sat, annoyed of the long process however knowing that it would one day most probably save his life.
After 10 minutes of checking, the 2nd gates opened as and closed as the cars continued to move through a garden and into a car-sized tunnel, heading towards the underground car park.
As the three cars finally parked, the guards outside them stood to attention as the PM walked out carrying his briefcase while nodding to the present higher ranks.
He then walked to an elevator which had decorated walls, an artwork by the PM's brother. In the elevator, he sat down as his bodyguard set the course to his office. After a few minutes going up 5 floors, the decorated doors slowly opened, allowing the five men inside the elevator to walk out into one of the PM's favorite rooms, the Grand Hallway.
The Grand Hallway was filled with marbled floors, sculptures and historical paintings done by Globexian artists. A few of them came from previous allies or as diplomatic gifts. The decorated yet strong windows were created by the globexian artist Louis Petagonial, as a gift for the PM's wedding. At the end of the corridor was a large wooden door, plain but beautiful, thought the PM as he opened it himself to walk into his office.
As he walked in the door, he exchanged a quick hello with one of his assistants as he kept on walking to another wooden door, this one was more sculpted than the first.
He also opened this one, where he walked straight to his desk where a man with a briefcase was sat down in a reception chair.

" Hello Mr. Prime Minister. " said the man as the PM came in.
" Hello Mitchell, how are you ? You have the update I supose ? " said Ryan Gache as he put his briefcase on his desk as he sat down.
" I indeed do, it is however, not very good news. " said Mitchell as he stood up and walked to Ryan's desk, where he put his briefcase down and opened it.
" How do you mean ? " asked Ryan.
" A bit ago, we received a letter from Syahnan Soeharto, Imperial and Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Dual Imperial Monarchy. It was a declaration of war. " said Mitchell as he passed to Ryan a message, which he quickly read.
" I thought the situation was over ? "
" That's what I thought, they didn't even state any reason. Just that a state of war now exists. " answered Mitchell.
" Christ, what is happening on their side ? " Ryan asked.
" Not very good for them either, they have also received their fair deal. Got any ideas ? "
" Actually I do, I'll sort out the declaration later, I think it is time to bring ourselves in action. Might want to get some news agencies to prepare to broadcast an urgent message. " said Ryan, looking at the message.

Mitchell nodded and got on a phone. Within 20 minutes, the Governmental News team was in the conference room, cameras turning as the PM walked to a podium on a stage. He shuffled his papers and looked at the cameras.

" Hello, thank-you for arriving in such speed. Now, as you know, we have been receiving threats from what was once an ally. We thought we had the situation under control, until they for some reason or another sent us a declaration of war. We have seen this happen to our allies and cousins. These men and women claim to have the right to do anything they wish, invading Nations while destroying their ways of life; culture; history and economy. We shall not let his happen to our proud nation. That is why I wish for my fellow comrades whom will be requested to volunteer on their own will to volunteer for either the Globexian National Forces, the Globexian National Police Force or if you are too old; unfit or not wanting, the Globexian Home Guard. If you do not receive one of these messages, this however means you will be asked not to volunteer, this means that your situation is too important for the Government to not have in the public status. Let us not stand back and watch our Nation be destroyed, those requested shall soon receive the message urging them to volunteer. Do not sit back, help protect your nation in this time of need. Thank-you. " said the PM, keeping a strong voice during the entire speech.

The newsmen and women in front of him clapped as he sent a friendly wave as he walked off the stage.

An hour after, people in Globexanter started receiving the talked of message from the speech.
A request for Volunteers


From: The Ministry of Defense.
To: However is concerned.

Eugenios Goulielmos sighed to himself as he looked through the latest diplomatic communiqués that had been handed to him by an aide. He sat in his office in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, away from the Imperial Palace Complex.

The situation with the Dual Monarchy was rapidly spinning out of control. There were unconfirmed rumours that Machina Haruspex had suffered a similar stab in the back as the Greater Holy Empire, but the speed at which events had progressed meant that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had yet to call the Haruspex ambassador to the Imperial Palace Complex for a meeting. It would need to be done before long. A united from would protect both of these nations, especially now the League seemed to be buckling under the strain of recent events. Globexanter, too, would have to be contacted. The Greater Holy Empire might well have found a new ally there, or at least a friend of convenience.

The item that worried the Foreign Minister the most was the message from the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans. Tagmatium had never had any contact with this nation before. The only thing their message heralded was that they had spotted an opportunity that they felt they ought to grasp with both hands. There was little that could be done about that. Goulielmos wasn’t aware of any leverage that Tagmatium could exert on the Scandinvans, bar the suggestion that the Dual Monarchy would be willing to stab them, too, in the back if the moment arose.

It wasn’t brilliant as a tactic, but it might sow enough doubt in their minds for them to begin to thinking twice about siding with the Dual Monarchy. The Foreign Minister sighed again and reached towards his computer. He began to compose several messages to the powers that were involved in this spiralling conflict.


Image
To: the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans
From: the Foreign Ministry of the Greater Holy Empire
Subject: Your Recent Statement

Honoured sirs,

The Imperial Government does not particularly care about what the government of the Scandinvans finds in matters they have no understanding of, nor business to meddle in. The Dual Monarchy has done nothing more than stab not one, but two of its allies in the back. How long does the government of the Scandinvans expect that its own agreements with the Dual Monarchy will last? It seems that agreements and alliances with the Dual Monarchy are not worth the paper they are written on, for they do not value diplomatic standards that other, civilised, nations observe. That the Scandinvans wishes to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such traitors says vast amount about what worth the Imperial Government ought to place the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans.

The Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans also should be aware of the dangerous precedent that it is setting by willingly supporting such aggressive actions. As yet, the internal affairs of nations aren’t meddled in by others except in outstanding circumstances. Giving carte blanche to such aggressive actions may well herald a time when the internal affairs of nations are no longer sacrosanct, and meddling in the affairs of others is commonplace.

This begs the question – how would the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans feel if the Greater Holy Empire declared that its territories and spheres of influence are fair game to bandits, wolves and traitors, as the Scandinvans have done to the Greater Holy Empire?

The Imperial Government is surprised that the Scandinvans didn’t extend an offer to mediate between the Dual Monarchy and the Greater Holy Empire – this would have fostered the nascent relations between our nations and undoubtedly prevented blood from being spilled. However, your nation has instead weighed in an opinion that was neither wanted or needed, and done nothing more than make bloodshed all the more likely.

Whilst the Dual Monarchy is ultimately responsible for any casualties that might ensue as the result of its treacherous and terrorist activities, some of it will also be on the hands of the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans, as you have done nought but add naphtha to fire that was going out of control.

However, the Imperial Government still wishes for a peaceful outcome to this crisis, even if your nation and the Dual Monarchy seem to be hell-bent on violence. As such, the Greater Holy Empire suggests that it might be a wiser plan to search for an adjudicator satisfactory to all, rather than threaten war.

The Imperial Government of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium


Image

To: the United Kingdom of Globexanter
From: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium
Subject: Our shared conflict

Honoured sirs,

We find ourselves on the same side in a conflict that was not made by either of us. We both suffer the arrogance and criminal actions of the Dual Monarchy. You have found yourselves blackmailed and mistreated, whilst we find ourselves betrayed and our territories invaded by a greedy, grasping foe.

To this end, in order to defeat our shared foe, the Imperial Government suggests that we begin to cooperate. Even though our nations have not encountered each other before these recent trials, we think that by acting together, we can vanquish the treacherous and criminal Dual Monarchy and reinstitute the status quo before they decided to grab more than they can hold. The Imperial Government does not wish for an aggressive war, as no civilised nation ought to. Such sentiments, however, are clearly not in the mind of the Dual Monarchy.

We suggest a meeting between representatives of our two nations as soon as possible, in order to coordinate our punitive actions against the Dual Monarchy.

Eugenios Gouliélmos,

Minister of Foreign Affairs,

The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium


Image

Honoured friends and allies,

What a turn of events! We find ourselves abused by a nation that we previously considered to be allies, bound together by the League of Imperial Nations. The Greater Holy Empire did nothing to provoke such outrageous actions by the Dual Monarchy, who saw fit to meddle in the affairs of the Greater Holy Empire. Now some mongrel nation has reared its ugly head and stands shoulder to shoulder with the Dual Monarchy, attempting to garner what it can from the ruins of our nations.

As such, the Imperial Government thinks it wise that we begin to coordinate our actions more closely, in order to bring the Dual Monarchy back to heel. We also suggest that representatives of our two glorious nations meet with, if at all possible, representatives of Globexanter, a nation we share a connection with, that of being on the receiving end of the treacherous and belligerent actions of the Dual Monarchy.

Eugenios Goulielmos,

Minister of Foreign Affairs,

The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium

As expected, by the 27th of February, approximately a total of 1.033 billion personnel, innocent men and women, out of a total censused population of approximately 14.764 billion in numbers in 2010, more or less within the Dual Imperial Monarchy's territorial sovereignty, reported formally within each and everyone of their designated formation's post of command.

The mobilisation itself was a chaotic event indeed, with men and women numbering in the billion moving to each and everyone of their post within the national sovereignty, priority of the HSN railways and various major highways and main routes were given to the designated troops, as to rapidly increased the speed of the mobilisation. By, more or less, three days, the mobilisation has been partially completed.


And yet, the task ahead was not over yet. The Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex was not, unlike the Dual Imperial Monarchy sadly, renown for its economic hegemony within the two continents of Europa. No, it was known for its hegemonous military dealings with those that had stood in its way.


The Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex was unlike anything else the modern history of Europa had ever seen. Its legions and personnel numbering in the billions, the product of its almost three decades' long sole governmental contributions towards the field of military science, and armed defence itself.

No, the Sovereign Imperium is different than most other nations, indeed it can be said within the whole of Europa. It is a dictatorship and despotic form of governmental corporate nation-state of the most vile and hideous of its time.


It was born, its people united under a common cause, from the foul stench of rotten carcasses and human blood itself. It was known that it was a product of hell itself, the unwanted child of blood and steel. By the 1930s, its despotic and autocratic form of militaristic government of empty-minded clones and war machines, humans without the very basic package of heart and soul itself, was rampaging its wave of chaos across Europa, slaughtering each and everyone on its wake.

None of the major powers individually could stand against it. One by one, each and every major powers within its range were decimated and territorially subjugated. Annexed brutally without the most sensible casus-belli, the Sovereign Imperium had reached its greatest height of military prowess during the Battle of Zag-Vade, when it had singlehandedly defeated a coalition of three of the then strongest military powers of the region, a testimony to the Sovereign Imperium's successful psychotic-brainwashing of its robotic and mindless population.


Realising that without co-operation, the fate of each and everyone of the major powers within the region would be to kiss upon the feet of the knowingly sadistic Emperor of the Haru himself, all of the remaining nine major powers of the region united to form a common ground, and coalition of nations, yet unseen in the history of Europa itself.


By 1964, the almost never ending three decades of war and incessant conflicts between the military bastillion of the Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex, and the coalition of nine major cultural, economic, military, and political powers of the region, was reaching its end.

When, during the Battle of Nations, the combined forces of the 4th, 7th, 10th, and 13th army groups of the nine coalition of nations, a total of approximately 8.7 billion personnel, courageous men and women, engaged the Sovereign Imperium's 1st Helghaz and 2nd Armed Legions, a total of approximately 10.1 billion men and women of the Sovereign Imperium's feared and historically reviled elite formations.


Whilst the Haru Imperial Helghaz and Legion formations had gained the initiative by putting the offensive pressures, as they always throughout the thirty years period of the disastrous regional conflict itself, the defenders had however, by the end of the engagement, Miraculously seized the strategic initiative, when a total of approximately 550,000 Haru personnel were defeated decisively.

Following the strategic initiative which followed, the Coalition of Nations decided to keep the momentum, and invaded the land of the Harus themselves. The armistice which followed the end of the battle was known regionally as the turning point of the Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex's external dealings towards its regional neighbours, by which it had isolated itself militarily within its regional designated territorial sovereignty and border. Always waiting and wishing for the rushing of blood and steel to once more drown Europa.


A closing of Europa's bleak chapter of history, within his confined office, Field Marshal Prabowo Sutedjo had learnt the crucial lesson by which the Coalition of Nine Nations had learnt the hard way during their historical encounters with Imperial Haruspex.

Done putting his head down, he looked straight at the assembled men within the designated chief-of-staff's conference room, "Has the First and Third Home arrived at their designated ports yet..?", he looked at an ancient, and yet dignified old man, white haired and bespectacled, looking none younger than seventy at most. "Indeed, the First and Second Home Fleets should, within the next seven hours, arrived at their designated ports".


Prabowo looked at him, not knowing whether to trust and hope for the old man's words, or further interrogated him with incessant and unending detailed inquiries. He looked at the old man in the eyes, and decided that the truth was there indeed.

He raised himself, stood up to signal his position as the head of the pack, turned himself slowly yet reassuringly at the strategic green map located right in front of the conference room. "Let the troublesome Haru came by sea. The Longswords and Ark-Royals shall do the talking, ladies and gentlemen.."






Central Monetary Authority and Regional Headquarter - Reserve Bank of Indonesia


"Nothing like a good ole' historical novel in an evening paronama", a man talked to himself within a lavish corporate office. Black haired, with a streak of grey-lines. That brown eyes, sharp brown eyes, the mark of a long drawn-out financial battle to reach the position granted by the heaven above to him today.


"Nothing like the good old fight indeed", he sighed sarcastically to his Board of Directors. Fifty-seven years old and 183cm tall, he is known by the lower of the corporate food chain as the "Big Boss" around the camp. Started his way from the bottom of the foodchain, the "Big Boss" fought his way up the food chain to become the President Director of the second largest central banking and regional monetary authority in the world in terms of market capitalisation.

With over US$500 trillion assets and a monetary trading supply almost ten times that numbers within his corporate hand, a single stroke of pen by him has the ability to buy out an entire nation and numerous other backwater islands.


He sat down and looked at the paint of angels located on the left wall of his office. The face of redemption and saintly purity long gone and lacking throughout today's society. Greed, malicious greed. Hunger and thirst for power, irrecognisably replaced love and solidarity. Wealth, power, the feeling of being in control of one self and one's surrounding. A whimp of past memory snapped him out of his afternoon walk-of-past "Ah, what do we have here..?"


TO: Reserve Bank
FROM: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
-Automated Cable-

The authority has been amended. Proceed with Plan B.

-Stop-


It was a telegram received within his business page, eyes observing the sender; "Ah... It is indeed Susilo... It seems that economics warfare shall be the definite conclusion, alas..".

He turned at the assembled Board of Directors. "I believed, you will know what to do, ladies and gentlemen". And with that he sipped a miniature-sized glass of Las Trancas Elite Cognac.


On that very same day, approximately a total of US$430 trillions has been sent electronically through various unidentified sources coming from the second largest, largest , and third largest financial institution and monetary trading authorities of the world, Reserve Bank of Indonesia, Lambda Financial, and EAGLE Financial, infecting upon multiple and countless domestic financial institutions within the Sovereign Imperium.

At that rate, by one month's length of time, the value of the Sovereign Imperium's credit currency, John Cregten observed amusingly, would be less than a quarter of its present value. Inflation rampant, the Sovereign Imperium's forces would be starved of its financial supplies, and with that, the Sovereign Imperium would have no other choice but to accept the hegemonous status of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes.

John Cregten could not help but laughed amusingly, and with that the coming of an economic warfare unseen before in the history of mankind has started.

A beatiful blue sky and a ray of light, and hope. He opened his curtain, and the face of angel itself looked upon him. Cloud of blue, waterly blue of dream and innocence. Commotion of thought, sanity, and never ending sacrifice. History and struggle, mixed into one, a bastillion of resounding cries and legacy of ancestral dream. The sound of the very surrounding itself, heavily weighting down upon him. And with that within his mind, he closed the window, embroided with a mix of green and red imperial and royal embroidery. Left hand reaching towards his official pen, right hand reaching towards his handkerchief. He sobbed.

And he sobbed convulsively, yet softly.

The rite of passage and dignity. Sadness of a thousand waves, engulfed upon him, bearing down his old age, marking the end of his past youth. His dignified head was down, signalling the coming of his time. He sobbed, and sobbed yet even more.

A knock on the door once. He stopped suddenly. A knock on the door twice, he looked up and put his white watery handkerchief back within his own soft pocket. he straightened his glasses, and walked towards the door he did. Whereas upon the reaching of the brown imperial and royal ambassadorial colour, that very rite of passage engulfed upon him.

"Alas, it has finally come to this..", he thought upon himself most heavily.

He opened the door most eloquently.

A tall and stiff black-haired green-uniformed man, brown skinned and looking none older than fifty at most, that very antithesis, counter-proposition from the wise, ancient man himself. He looked at the opposing individual's eyes; alas, no sense of emotions sense could be trace within his light-brown eyes, signifying that very feature of a hardened man. He looked at the array of medals and glimmering metaphor of chandelier of a manly beauty and pride, and looked away he did.

"Please, come in.", he said in a dignified way.

The man nodded most firmly, and walked beside him, towards the main official desk of the chancellery official main room. They both sat down at an opposing end. The uniformed man looked at him most imperiously. "As you may know, honoured minister, the very reason why I..," and with that he stopped and looked at the old dignified man, "am here at this exact moment in time is due to the very fact that His Imperial and Royal Majesty, himself..", he stopped briefly yet again, right hand reaching towards his right upperfront pocket, just beside the utmost and decoration of gold medal, "has issued this letter to you most honoured minister, to represent his sovereignty and grace.."

And with that the dignified wise man stood up most abruptly, without further ado, alas reading the document in the first place.

"How dare you..! Do you think that of all the devil below this very honourable world and that fiery pit of the satanic underworld itself that you are the one who perpetrated all this lobbying and most... abominable act of wanton aggression..!", he pointed at the uniformed man most furiously.

"Do you know what would be the result of this..? Millions of innocent men and women will be hurt..! The very sanctity of the holy soul itself..! Tarnished without any hope and return at all!Her graceful soul. The most graceful and angelic Dual Imperial Monarchy's reputation and innocence.. Ruin..! You, of all devil and satanic breed of hellish wanton and menace itself, should have known of the very tragic and utmost consequences of this action of yours..!"

And with that he sobbed most passionately, yet even then his dignified and refined manner has not ruined his charisma and surrounding charm of aura, to the amusement of the uniformed man opposing him, still sitting within his side of the brown and comfortable leather armchair.

"I believe that you will know what to do next.. honoured minister", he sniggered most softly, and with that, he put the embroided documents, and finally, brown official letter on that very brown desk, dividing that very youth of dashing and courageous opportunism, and the old-wise age of sadness and regret.

The uniformed man left the office, and closed the door with a soft force of rigidity and firmness. The old man, stopped crying, and opened the window, for the second, and last time. He then picked the letter, signed the deep brown and most beatifully decorated letter, and put it upon his fax machine. And with that, the innocence of angel itself has been broken.

He looked at the blue sky, once again. Sadness, grief, and regret. And with that, he closed the window.

Audemus jura nostra defendere

To : Associated Representative. Department of Foreign Affairs. United Kingdom of Globexanter.
From : Syahnan Soeharto. Imperial and Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Dual Imperial Monarchy.
Subject : Diplomatic Communique'




Dear sir and/or madam


For a long time indeed, the United Kingdom of Globexanter has been the recipient upon a significant amount of various economic programme(s) originating from within the Dual Imperial Monarchy's central banking institution. Through close partnership and a strategic association of fund and base borrowing plan, I and my colleague Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Head of the Imperial Financial and Trade Ministry, has watched together as, year after year, a strong annual economic growth and the development and consolidation of the Globexanterian economy progressed, most solidly.

The Reserve Bank of Indonesia, the second largest financial and central monetary authority in the world, in close partnership with the Protectorate of Lyras's Lambda Financial and the government of New Azura's EAGLE Financial, has poured upon billions of Universal Standard Dollar upon the Globexanterian economy, in the hope that an economic prosperity and diplomatic camaraderie, will benefit the democratic government of Globexanter in itself, and in the hope of furthering diplomatic ties, and solidly established the United Kingdom of Globexanter as a benevolently positive member of the international community.


However, we have seen, finally and sadly, of what the current Globexanterian government stood for. To say the least that I, and the current government that i represents, feels a sense of diplomatic betrayal and loss of trust upon the chain of intergovernmental camaraderie, regardlessly broken without any regard at all by the current government of the Globexanterian Kingdom, surely has set a light upon the very purpose of this diplomatic letter.

Billions of Universal Standard Dollar has been wasted, efforts thrown into a deep pit of betrayal and self-grandeur of a sense of fallacy and fatal grandeur, the United Kingdom of Globexanter has finally decided to broke our long-held camaraderie, and decided that the very barbaric practise of slavery itself, would be practised within its national sovereignty. While the Dual Imperial Monarchy has rarely ever ventured out of its way to deal with petty matters and minor power squabbling and irrelevant nation's dealing with each other, we however, cannot turn our back upon this one.


From this day, hereby let it be known that a state of official economic embargo has been placed upon the Globexanterian economy. All corporations within the Dual Imperial Monarchy, will be given the full authority to purchase as much share(s) of Globexanterian companies operating within the Dual Imperial Monarchy as possible, seizing the Globexanterian companies in the process.

While the Reserve Bank of Indonesia will honour its pact not to touch nor damage any Globexanterian fund within the system of electronic registry at all, the Dual Imperial Monarchy as a whole however, will freeze all economic development and past and/or current economic aid towards your barbaric kingdom.

The Reserve Bank of Indonesia, furthermore, in co-operation and assisted with the current massive multi-trillion's amount of gold reserve held by the Dual Imperial Monarchy, combined with the potential of the second largest monetary authority in the world, third largest financial monetary authority, and largest monetary authority in the world, shall flood the Globexanterian internal market system as never seen before in the history of mankind. Inflation shall run rampant. Disease shall break your barbaric regime. Your currency shall be worthless, and your government shall fall.

The United Kingdom of Globexanter, shall be vanguished from this very world we walked upon, tamed like a beast, once and for all.


If this, still do not deter your current government and its barbaric associated representative within twenty-four hours' notice. It shall be known, for the first, and hopefully last time of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes's history, that a state of war shall exist.

This is not a warning. This is a promise.




Sincerely Yours

Globexanter wrote:At 8:34 A.M., three black limousines slowly slided into the Governmental Buildings in the Globexian capital of Carcassonne. As soon as the cars reached a meter of the front gates, guards quickly opened the gates, allowing the cars to be searched by explosive experts. In the third car, the PM sat, annoyed of the long process however knowing that it would one day most probably save his life.
After 10 minutes of checking, the 2nd gates opened as and closed as the cars continued to move through a garden and into a car-sized tunnel, heading towards the underground car park.
As the three cars finally parked, the guards outside them stood to attention as the PM walked out carrying his briefcase while nodding to the present higher ranks.
He then walked to an elevator which had decorated walls, an artwork by the PM's brother. In the elevator, he sat down as his bodyguard set the course to his office. After a few minutes going up 5 floors, the decorated doors slowly opened, allowing the five men inside the elevator to walk out into one of the PM's favorite rooms, the Grand Hallway.
The Grand Hallway was filled with marbled floors, sculptures and historical paintings done by Globexian artists. A few of them came from previous allies or as diplomatic gifts. The decorated yet strong windows were created by the globexian artist Louis Petagonial, as a gift for the PM's wedding. At the end of the corridor was a large wooden door, plain but beautiful, thought the PM as he opened it himself to walk into his office.
As he walked in the door, he exchanged a quick hello with one of his assistants as he kept on walking to another wooden door, this one was more sculpted than the first.
He also opened this one, where he walked straight to his desk where a man with a briefcase was sat down in a reception chair.

" Hello Mr. Prime Minister. " said the man as the PM came in.
" Hello Mitchell, how are you ? You have the update I supose ? " said Ryan Gache as he put his briefcase on his desk as he sat down.
" I indeed do, it is however, not very good news. " said Mitchell as he stood up and walked to Ryan's desk, where he put his briefcase down and opened it.
" How do you mean ? " asked Ryan.
" A bit ago, we received a letter from Syahnan Soeharto, Imperial and Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Dual Imperial Monarchy. It was a declaration of war. " said Mitchell as he passed to Ryan a message, which he quickly read.
" I thought the situation was over ? "
" That's what I thought, they didn't even state any reason. Just that a state of war now exists. " answered Mitchell.
" Christ, what is happening on their side ? " Ryan asked.
" Not very good for them either, they have also received their fair deal. Got any ideas ? "
" Actually I do, I'll sort out the declaration later, I think it is time to bring ourselves in action. Might want to get some news agencies to prepare to broadcast an urgent message. " said Ryan, looking at the message.

Mitchell nodded and got on a phone. Within 20 minutes, the Governmental News team was in the conference room, cameras turning as the PM walked to a podium on a stage. He shuffled his papers and looked at the cameras.

" Hello, thank-you for arriving in such speed. Now, as you know, we have been receiving threats from what was once an ally. We thought we had the situation under control, until they for some reason or another sent us a declaration of war. We have seen this happen to our allies and cousins. These men and women claim to have the right to do anything they wish, invading Nations while destroying their ways of life; culture; history and economy. We shall not let his happen to our proud nation. That is why I wish for my fellow comrades whom will be requested to volunteer on their own will to volunteer for either the Globexian National Forces, the Globexian National Police Force or if you are too old; unfit or not wanting, the Globexian Home Guard. If you do not receive one of these messages, this however means you will be asked not to volunteer, this means that your situation is too important for the Government to not have in the public status. Let us not stand back and watch our Nation be destroyed, those requested shall soon receive the message urging them to volunteer. Do not sit back, help protect your nation in this time of need. Thank-you. " said the PM, keeping a strong voice during the entire speech.

The newsmen and women in front of him clapped as he sent a friendly wave as he walked off the stage.

An hour after, people in Globexanter started receiving the talked of message from the speech.
A request for Volunteers

"What now?" Ilona gasped, rising from the mess of tangled, sweaty, heaving flesh. It seemed a lifetime of interruption during recreation was what awaited her in her future as Empress, whenever she eventually succeeded. She was in no hurry, but had taken over responsibilities with her mother being away at a conference, and it seemed that said responsibilities would continue for quite some time, the way things were going.

The woman who had called her was dressed in a plain black military uniform. Her face bore only a curious expression, as if the raised eyebrow was really in pondering how all the naked bodies fit together, like some sort of blacksmith's puzzle. "Yes. There's been a bit of trouble... enough trouble that your presence is required."

Sighing, the heir to the throne disentangled herself and got up. There was nothing to be done about it. Affairs of state waited for no one. The vampiress brushed back her hair but did not bother donning clothing as she exited one of her clan's "recreation rooms," one reserved for more tame, gentler passtimes than the ones in deeper levels of the Hearth, the Imperial Palace. The footfalls of her bare feet on the carpet in the center of the stone hallway were silent, especially compared to the sound of Adjunct Varn's boots. "Is it the conference? Is there news?"

Varn frowned. To be more accurate, her frown deepened, as she was already frowning. "No... there is no news from that. This matter was... unexpected."

"Go on," Ilona replied as she walked with the Adjunct, both proud and careless to her own nudity, as they made their way up to the throne room.

"Anagonia-Yohannes has declared war on both Tagmatium and Machina Haruspex," Varn said, aggravation in her voice.

At this, the vampiress stopped and stared at the other woman, blinking in disbelief. "You're not serious."

"I am."

"But that's... insane," the heir said, resuming her pace. "Ithtyr's gaping cunt! What reason could they possibly have to declare war on the leaders of their own alliance?"

The Adjunct smirked. "They are one of those states that believes in a... 'free market,' they call it. Intelligence from the Dragon's Claw indicates that they felt the Haru and Tagmatians were preventing them from exercising a right they believe they have to make money anywhere, regardless of spheres of influence. This is the only reason I can gather for their behavior."

"But that's so stupid." Declaring war because of frustration with trade limits? Against the Holy Empire and Sovereign Imperium? "Or completely crazy. Whichever." By now they'd reached the throne room.

Still not bothering to don any garments, Ilona sat on the Throne of Bones. It had been made so that while a very comfortable chair for her, any male would find it extremely uncomfortable a seat.

"Obviously, your decision is required," Varn reminded her.

"Decision?" Ilona sighed. "What decision can I possibly make? It's been made for me by these fools in charge of Yohannes. If we don't join Machina Haruspex and Tagmatium, the Empire will lose all credibility." With a flick of the wrist, she summoned a servant to bring her pen and paper.

Image


To our esteemed colleagues and former allies, the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes.

How greatly it saddens us that you have chosen to betray our allies, the Sovereign Imperium of Machina Haruspex, and the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium, and make war upon our comrades in arms. As far as we can see, there was no issue between your states that could not have been easily resolved through negotiations. Of what measure is trade compared to the blood of millions of brothers and sisters?

Does the economic benefit you seek justify the price in lives, for both you and for us all? You know that no matter who wins, this conflict will not come cheaply. You know as well that we are obligated to stand with our allies, the Haru, and Tagmatium. None of us wanted this war, yet you have dragged us into it. Our honor demands nothing less.

We implore you, cease this foolishness! We have no wish to slaughter your citizens, but we will. There is no reason we must turn your mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters into meals, but you have forced it upon us. We had no ill wishes against your people, but now our only choice is to visit horror upon them, for betrayal is the worst of all crimes, and Ithtyr will drink deep the harvest of vengeance. Please, avoid this pointless carnage and sue for peace.
-Ilona Batory, heir to the Throne of Bones.


"So," the vampiress said after ending the document with her stylized, flowing runic signature, written, as always, in blood. "It is now a war of four emperors and one empress. I am sorry for this, mother." By now, the heat of her previous activities had worn off and so her nudity was less comfortable. "Danuta," she said to a female servant, "garments, please."

Contrary to popular myth, the Batorys were quite polite to their servants. While a highly paid position, servant to the Batory clan was not a job for the faint hearted, after all.

Governor Paul McCartney sat at his desk in Boston, Massachusetts and sighed. He was only 68 and his once rich brown hair, which was the cause of many fights between women, was beginning to thin and go grey. He made a quick note to dye it as soon as possible. Back in his heyday he was one of the greatest singers and bass players of all time, when he was in a rock band called the Beatles, and he still was considered the best by many. But he didn't feel it. He felt that since he enter politics his energy had dropped and he felt older then he was. He had been a Governor since 1994, the second longest ruling Governor of the current 4, since the death of Governor Ian Stewart.

Today Paul was waiting for an up-link with the other three Governors to discuss a very important topic, war. An aide, short round and middle-aged, stepped into the office and flipped a switch, signaling that the up-link was online. The aide stepped out as the faces of Governor John Lennon, in London, Governor George Harrison, in Tampa Bay, Florida, and Governor Ringo Starr, in San Fransisco, California, flickered onto a projection screen. They all looked tired and weary but it showed most on John Lennon. His hair was almost all grey, he refused to die it, and there where deep lines on his forehead from deep thought.

"Hello John, George, Ringo." Paul nodded to each of them as he said their name and they nodded back. "Well, I think the time is here. Gentlemen it is time for war."

"I knew this day would come, my rule has been too calm, too peaceful." John spoke like an ancient guru, hardened with wisdom. "Why is it war now? Who is it that is pulling us into conflict?"

"I've got the file here, from the CIA." George held up a think file from the Central Intelligence Agency which he had received that morning. "It seems that the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes has been giving money to Globexanter."

"Why are we going to war of that?" Ringo snapped. He was the newest Governor of the 4 and was a very angry man. His anger was due, in part, to almost constant stomach pains.

"Ringo, let George finish." John said calmly, though slightly tired of Ringo's outbursts. "Go on George."

"Right, so Anagonia-Yohannes has been giving Globexanter money for a series of years and the later is wasting the earlier's funding." George read over the file quickly, checking up his facts as he went. His eyes bulged on a certain sentence, he quickly read it twice. "Gentlemen, this is the worst of all. It seems that Globexanter allows slavery in it's borders."

"That settles it, we're going to war!" Ringo shouted, slamming his fist on his desk. There was a low murmur of agreement.

"Now now, we must vote first. Anne, connect us in to Charles." John said, Anne being an aide in his office.

The Charles he mentioned was Charles LeMardi, their Minister of Defense. Almost instantly Charles flickered next to the Governors, nodding to each of them in turn. Charles was in his prime, 29, and already a Admiral in the Navy.

"Is it time to vote? I've all ready gotten the information from my aide over here." Charles spoke calmly, but he was actually quite nervous and worried about how the military, his military would handle the war.

"Yes, it is. All In favor?" Ringo said very quickly and fast, he wanted to vote now.

"Hold up, hold up a moment." Charles stopped the vote. "George, where'd you get this information?"

"The CIA's department for Global Violence and Monetary Trade sent it to my office this morning. Before I read more then the first line I checked and saw that the Deputy Director of the Department wrote it." George informed the minister.

"Now, All in favor." John opened the vote this time. All the men raised their hands, showing that they where in favor of war. "Very well, Paul, as you are the man of the pen, will you write up an official Diplomatic Communique'?"

"I will. Goodbye my friends." Paul snapped his fingers and the men flickered away as the projection was cut. Paul grabbed a sheet of paper and uncapped his pen and began to write. He sat there for a solid 45 minutes then, when he was done he folded it carefully into thirds and stuffed it into an envelope. An Aide took it from there and mailed it to the address.



To: Syahnan Soeharto
From: Paul McCartney
Subject: Diplomatic Communique'


Hello


It has been brought to my attention, as well as Governor John Lennon and Ringo Starr's, by Governor George Harrison that you are at war with The Batorys, Machina Haruspex, Tagmatium and Globexanter. Normally this you just be a one day headline on my desk. But I have taken a special interest in this case, partially because your money, given to Globexanter, was wasted and partially because Globexanter allows slavery, an act found most heinous in our eyes. Our, the Commonwealth's, military may not be much but they will be trained to their best. I will wait for your reply to launch any troops.

OOC: I gained permission from Yohannes, was supposed to TG the rest of y'all giving a heads up....sadly that only reached Scand before I forgot. So yeah, allied nations, I'll get with you shortly.


The Neo Bolshevist State, far from the bickering capitals of Europa was not itself immune from the waves of conflict that emanated from them. A long lived State, the Neo Bolshevist State was in itself isolated by the complete information control established by the Neo Bolshevist Party, it’s region however was not. The Empire of Scandinvan, a great hive of exploitation and reactionary thought moved to aid the Duel Monarchy. This in itself was again irrelevant, the Neo Bolshevik State immune from the blowing winds of Geopolitics and the shifting tides of Imperialism. The Neo Bolshevist State however did have an underlying objective that surfaced whenever the Empire of Scandinvans moved, the Whites.

It was a little known secret, and within Abruzi there was no knowledge of it but the Monarchy survived the Revolution. True, Forge King Gustav the Usurper had been riddled with bullets in the same forest where his great grandfather secured the aid of the Military for their own revolution. True the Monarchist Armies and Fortresses had all been ground into dust and renamed for the glory of the Revolution, but the seed of Gustav had survived. His son, Ivan the Reclaimer and two daughters had escaped to Scandinvan, their grandfather’s homeland. Alongside them, the Praetorians, elite soldiers of Monarchist Abruzi had also fled. Now, with the movement of Scandinvan toward the Duel Monarchy’s war in Europa the Neo Bolshevist State felt that the time was right, to finish the job.

The Minister of Contentment slept and worked alone, deep within the shadowy rooms of the Victory Fortress in Utopia. Skinny hallways cloaked in shadow were the only way through the Fortress which in times past has been the domain of the Forge Kings and en route to the Minister’s Chambers one would pass a total of five armed guards and dozens of Telescreens. The echo of footsteps resonated far ahead of the Upper Party member who carried in his possession a dossier that explained the entire sordid affair, his every step watched by the Telescreens which droned on with their endless Patriotic Messages. The Upper Party member slowly approached the solid oaken door of the Premier’s chambers and slowly twisted the handle.

As the door began to open, Minister of Contentment Dmitri Siloviki called out in a forceful tone,

"Введите, товарищ."

“Enter, Comrade.”

The Upper Party Official approached, head down to place the dossier upon the Minister’s desk. The thick manila folder sat untouched and with a mighty swallow the Upper Party man said,

"Товарищ министр? Собираетесь ли вы рассмотреть его? "

“Comrade Minister ? Are you going to review it?”

In a sudden almost wrathful way the Minister’s pen ceased to scratch against the white mottled paper. He raised his head and stared the man in the eye. His famous steely gaze tore through the man and within moments the other individual had lowered his gaze and backed up a step. Dmitri set his paper down and said,

"Очень хорошо товарищ, я рассматривает это сейчас, чтобы не неудобства".

“Very well Comrade, I shall review it now so as to not inconvenience you.”

The folder was flipped open, it contents quickly reviewed. His steely gray eyes flashed upward and he lowered the folder slowly to say,

"Это будет все, вы свободны."

“That will be all, you are dismissed.”

The Minister again devoted his attention to the dossier, it’s facts and statistics analyzed for several seconds before they were again set down. Dust and old plaster slowly fell in time with the marching steps of unknown guards on the floor above, coating the folder. This continued for several minutes before the Premier, grumbling resolved to focus on the situation involving the Scandinvans. Flipping through, Dmitri committed to memory several sets of facts while placing others on a sort of reserve, partially memorized they sat and collected dust inside his mind with their folder outside of his mind.

Several hours later, the Politburo sat and discussed the various happening within the Neo Bolshevist State. While all was quiet on the internal front, foreign affairs were lively as the Minister of Contentment and the Minister of Peace debated how best to approach the Scandinvan situation. The Whites could not be left alone, that much was for certain. The Praetorians were in their time the finest military force in Abruzi and to leave them time to regroup behind the Monarchist Figurehead would be an unsightly breach of sound leadership. Instead it was resolved that war or assassination would have to be pressed upon the Whites wherever they may flee to. The next issue however was the Vorgothic Empire, Abruzi and Scandinvan both dwelled within the same region and as such the Neo Bolshevist War would risk upsetting the delicate power balances. In order to work around this issue, the Minister of Peace put forward a possible course of action that would see the Neo Bolshevist State’s desires heard yet preserve peace within Gholgoth.

Abruzi would seek to use the conflict in Europa to force a peace favorable to their machinations. A weakened Duel Monarchy it was determined would lead to weakened Scandinvan which would then allow the Whites to be taken at a whim. While this was a risky move that would thrust the Neo Bolshevist State into Imperialist power struggles, struggles that would surely see vast regions laid to waste simply for new markets to be opened to the Bourgeoisie, despite the ideological differences however the Neo Bolshevist State and Party would seek to make common cause with the nations of Machina Haruspex and Tagmatium.

Приветствую вас,

Дело дошло до сведения Neo большевистского государства, Дуэль монархия Anagonia-Йоханнес переехали в спровоцировать самые благородные нации. Наряду с этими предателями марши империи Scandinvans, нации Neo большевистского государства в прошлом было несколько столкновений с. Полагая, что время так хорошо, как любой, Политбюро Neo большевистского государства и Верховного Совета Neo большевистской партии хотели бы предложить военный союз против Scandinvan коалиции. Вместе нашей могучей армии будет остановить и в течение шести недель мы считаем, что враг не будет иного выбора, кроме как капитулировать. Однако, только мы сидим изолированных глотков для скота, который Scandinvan Империализм проглотить, так как хочет.

С уважением,

Greetings,

It has come to the attention of the Neo Bolshevist State that the Duel Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes have moved to provoke your most noble nation. Alongside these traitors marches the Empire of the Scandinvans, a nation the Neo Bolshevist State has in the past had several confrontations with. Judging that the time is as good as any, the Politburo of the Neo Bolshevist State and the Supreme Soviet of the Neo Bolshevist Party would like to offer a military alliance against the Scandinvan Coalition. Together our mighty armies will be unstoppable and within six weeks we believe the foe will have no choice but to capitulate. However, alone we sit isolated mouthfuls for the beast that is Scandinvan Imperialism to swallow as it wills.
