SOVIET UNION - Osirian Troops moved into the Soviet Union last Monday, successfully repelling two FRA/Defender liberation attempts. The Black Hawks, The Black Riders, and The Land of Kings and Emperors have now moved in to assist the Osiris stronghold. NSGN has attempted to contact the lead (Jedi Mind Trick) to no response as of now, However, Milograd, Ex-NPO senator and current Vice-Delegate of Lazarus, agreed to a interview with NSGN on the situation.
NSGN: Why do you think Osiris took such a move as too invade a FRA Member Region when Osiris has such internal problems?
Milograd: Osiris clearly wants to bring life to the R/D game.
NSGN: What do you think of them getting The Black Hawks, The Black Riders, and others involved?
Milograd: As a former collaborator with TBH, I can say without doubt that they have some of the best troops in the game -- particularly Mall, who I'm still close comrades with. I hope that more Osirans will be trained by these operatives so that Osi can function with even more strength.
Milograd: I am highly skeptical of claims that they'll do both R and D, but if I were to say that they'll only raid, Cormac would say it's too early to tell, and might throw a defense in to make me look silly.
NSGN: Perhaps so, Do you think they intend on staying or just proving a point and leaving?
Milograd: I hope they leave eventually. I would be highly disappointed if SU was griefed.
Milograd: But I expect they'll leave.
NSGN: Alright, Thank you for your time.
We will keep you updated on this story as it develops- Expect a updated version once we can contact a Osiris represenative.

Interview with Cormac A. Stark on Soviet Union Invasion

Interview with Cormac A. Stark on Soviet Union Invasion

SOVIET UNION - Following the invasion of the Soviet Union, a FRA member region, last monday, NSGN secured a interview with Cormac A. Stark, Retired Osiris Delegate and lead on the operation.
Why make a move now? Osiris seems less then politically.
Osiris has been inactive for quite some time and that inactivity has been at its worst in the military. Detective Figs has made activity -- not only in the military, but throughout the region -- a priority, and my officers and I decided that it was better to get the military engaged now while people are interested rather than making them wait and potentially lose interest.
Why get TBR, TBH, and Kings & Emperors involved?
In the latter case, The Land of Kings and Emperors -- as a member region of the United Imperial Armed Forces -- was extremely helpful to Osiris during the July coup by The Dourian Embassy. We hope to work with them not only during this occupation but much more in the future. Regarding The Black Hawks and The Black Riders, they are professional raiders committed to raider unity and assisting in most raids. It seemed like a natural fit to include them in this occupation, to have some fun working with them, and to open the door to working together more in the future.
Do you plan on a full occupation or leaving after you've proven a point?
We've already had a full occupation, in that we have successfully held the region long enough to close its existing embassies -- particularly with the FRA -- and to establish an embassy with the Osiran jump point, Lacedaemonia. We have faced no opposition thus far, which is both a credit to our military prowess and ability to sustain an occupation in cooperation with our friends and allies and a revealing look at the current state of defending. This occupation has already been a resounding success and anything beyond this is just gravy.
We don't plan to attempt to refound the region, if that's what you're asking.
Has the FRA done anything else against this or just attempted to lib it (twice)?
Actually, the FRA hasn't attempted to liberate the region at all. The defenders who have been ejected and banned were the Speaker of the FRA Regional Assembly, The Protectorate of Ironicness III, who was already present in the region when we invaded, and a lone puppet already present in the region belonging to Wopruthien. The FRA has made a lot of noise over this but has been wholly ineffective in providing for the security of its member region, which should be a note of caution both to other FRA member regions as well as to any regions that may consider FRA membership in the future.
My advice to Soviet Union after this occupation ends is to withdraw from the FRA, as that would likely be more beneficial to Soviet Union's security than presenting themselves as a bull's eye for raiders by remaining an FRA member region that the FRA can't defend and seems to have little interest in defending.
Ok,thank you for your time Cormac.
Anytime.

Unrest in The East Pacific over 'Defender Law'

Unrest in The East Pacific over 'Defender Law'
September 25th, 2013.

THE EAST PACIFIC - A otherwise quiet and sleepy region has been rocked with civil unrest over the last 2 weeks following the passing of a law officially stating that the Pacific is 'Defender'. Controversy sparked when Todd McCloud, a 5 year resident and Vizier of TEP, threatened to quit over the law. Other people believed to be fighting the law include Bachtendekuppen, current Delegate, Hobbes, Arbiter and First Tiger of Lazarus, and Babiana, General of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army. In support of the law include Unibot and several Magisters.
More controversy was sparked Saturday night when Unibot posted a thread calling for the removal of all Forum Administrators from the Judical Branch of TEP, comparing the situation to The South Pacific. The situation quickly escalated in to Unibot taking several shots at Todd McCloud and lesso Hobbes, to which they alleged Unibot of being 'on a Vendetta against those opposed to the law.'
The law in question, The Defender Act, was passed through the Magisterium(legislative) of The East Pacific on February 7th.

Tyler Kazakov DEAT'd!
March 24th, 2014
Pictured: Malicious Avenue in the Brotherhood of Malice quickly turned into a block party of excitement after being informed of Tyler Kazakov IV's deletion.
MODERATION - Tyler Kazakov IV was deleted just a few hours ago by Katganistan after a excessive history of trolling and flamebaiting. Several regions in NS have already broke out in celebration, with the #BOM irc channel practically having a party after hearing the news.
Another interesting front has opened up in that Tyler Kazakov's region, The Kingdom of Great Britian and Ireland, is now without a founder, and rumors have spread of several groups already plotting a invasion of Kazakov's former region.
NSGN will update this story as it develops.
