CAJ Strikes again! OOC Thread

Postby Caracasus » Wed Jun 17, 2015 4:40 am

OOC - this is an international incident, but should not be one that is solved through marching 500,000,000,000 troops and tanks into the region. It's designed to be small-scale terrorist/freedom fighter groups, political intrigue and police action. There may be, I imagine, some armed forces involvement, but that shouldn't be the main focus of the RP

If this takes off, then I'll construct an OOC thread for this. Whilst people can build/create vastly different roles, I should imagine we'd be looking for: 1) Nations rp'ing CAJ cells, 2)Nations who may be supporting CAJ, 3) Nations suffering similar attacks from CAJ, 4) Neighboring nations that may well have an ambivalent attitude to both CAJ and Caracasus 5) Nations RP'ing IEP.


This is the OOC thread for CAJ strikes again. I will be reserving the first couple of posts so I can provide clarification to people regarding the various actors within the RP. Have fun guys!

Relevant post on CAJ actions and torture:
http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=428933


Definitions:

CAJ - a loose collective/umbrella for a plethora of different cells. Support is mostly isolated to metropolitan areas with organised crime (Bear in mind that private enterprise is illegal) and some more remote areas of Caracasus that border with other, less stable countries. Not all CAJ cells are violent in nature, but some clearly are.

IEP - A small loose coalition of politicians. Some call them the political wing of CAJ. They certainly have common goals, namely the expansion and creation of a capitalist economy within Caracasus. An unpopular party to some, comfortably ignored by many and loved by a few. Highly confrontational.

Well, feel free to join in! What sort of thing do you think your nation will be getting up to?

Fair enough. Perhaps your nation had similar difficulties in the past? Caracasus hasn't had much experience with this kind of thing, other than our experiance as freedom fighters during the Nineday revolution.

Looking good so far Germany - human characters who believe they're doing the right thing but are held back by their own flaws in some ways. Looking good!

So I'm unsure how to play my two special forces guys meeting up with CAJ. We can play the meeting however you want, or don't want, to. Mostly I just want them to observe, train and help coordinate the CAJ.

Yeah, I like the meeting aspect - bear with me a while.

You may be meeting with a certain gentleman who has appeared previously.....

You guys may wonder how i made those CAJ refugees split out such information without any force,so i guess i better explain it a bit here.
Heres the basic explaination:
We let them stay -> They thanks us -> We give them equality and free market -> They told us that either as a show of thanks or for a bag of nice cash,but as they are only some basic members of the CAJ they don't know the details about which nations are involved,and they feel that this level of information won't hurt after all.(Some of them are simply patriotic(though disliking the government) and don't want their homeland to get controlled by foreign power,so they did this on purpose.)

No, what you are saying makes logical sense - people join that kind of movement (or any) for various reasons. Some would get into it through desperation and disillusionment, only to realise that they're suddenly too far in to leave.

Also, there are less violent cells of CAJ. It's not completely black and white - they're not all the bad guys.

OK. Updated with some stuff. Looks like Spirit of Hope's forces are going to get involved with something very interesting (Not sure where that's going yet to be honest, but it'll be fun finding out!) Germany's got a reply and possible mandate for further action (should they wish to take it of course) and there's a helicopter inbound to Tangalero to pick up some folks.

In other news, there's a seriously unhinged assassin on the loose with an unclear mandate, a spooky dude who has so many alterior motives I'm not even sure what he's up to and a buncha other things.

Right, if you don't mind I'll just write up the ambush, how many CAJ folks would be around to help? And what would the government response be like (strength and speed)?

Question: What is Caracas like economically? Is it a first-world country or a third-world one, or something in between?

According to his stats in the nation's page,if I didn't get it wrong,its probably first-world.
“In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.

Probably won't be too different,at least to me I rp my nation according to those stats recorded in system,and I grow my military according to my industrial power and population data i got from NS Economy analysis or the usual nationstate analysis.

Four. The government response will be relatively swift, but it's a remote region. The man in grey wouldn't have given you an assignment you couldn't accomplish.

Caracasus isn't a superpower (yet!) but it's an established society that functions. It's got a strong economy, and while no-one is wealthy, there aren't really any shacks or slums. Universal healthcare is in place. Fairly well developed scientifically. Relatively low levels of corruption.

Er... well mostly Caracasusian made. Just treat it like a standard assault rifle I'd say.

As your a socialist country,I guess I will assume your rifle are a kind of AK-like one then.
Anyway,check the IC thread,I'm not sure whether that newspaper extract I made recently is appropriate,if not,you can tell me to void it.
