The Second War of The Radiants

[Dysmastan]

Considering your occupation didn't last a single update, I wouldn't call that a success. More of an embarrassment really.

Okayyyyyyy Indo-Malaysia, whatever you say! Let the spin on today's raid begin...ready, set, go!

No. It really didn't last a single update, or even two hours. The raid was an epic failure.

[New Bradfordsburg]

Okayyyyyyy Indo-Malaysia, whatever you say! Let the spin on today's raid begin...ready, set, go!

No. It really didn't last a single update, or even two hours. The raid was an epic failure.

If you consider shattering the peace and security of our enemies an epic failure, well then I don't know what to say to you. We'd never last more than an update in there with Odinburgh being a very active nation. Regions who support Radiant Republic are now being put on notice. We're coming for you next. That means you Central Pacific Empire.

Wait, we weren't on notice already?

Piss poor leadership I say.

[New Bradfordsburg]

New Bradfordsburg now offers our terms of peace to Radiant Republic:

In order for this war to stop, Radiant Republic will have to cease to exist. We would not continue this conflict if the nations who call themselves Radiant Republic, which is considered a renegade province of The Radiant with an illegal government, leave their region.

If a new region is founded, without any association to The Radiant in their name, we will enter into a permanent peace with a clause that will forbid us from entering into war. We will also promise complete recognition of any new region founded, without "Radiant" in the name, with an unconditional promise not to mingle in your regional affairs whatsoever.

The Radiant has officially adopted a "One Radiant" and this peace offering reflects that.

The ball is now in your court Odinburgh.

[Indo-Malaysia]

I will like to add a stipulation.

For the mediatory regions and third party regions dragged into this crisis, pre-war relations are to be attempted to be reastablished with either free embassy chat or ambassadors to be mandatorily in place for at least 30 days lest members of this category disagree.

All relations with the raider organisation dragged into this are to be cut off.


I will leave this for Brad to decide upon

I will leave this for Brad to decide upon

We would agree to restoring pre-war relations, however, we un-categorically reject the prospect of turning our backs on our military alliances. The Radiant will maintain relations with the "raiders" who have helped us in this battle as they have proven themselves to be dedicated allies.

Then the Order agrees with the agreement in its current state.

[New Bradfordsburg]

We will restore our embassy with The Order at once.

We will restore our embassy with The Order at once.

We will restore our embassy with The Order at once.

OOC: I love your flag.

[Odinburgh]

Odinburgh and Radiant Republic (former) nations agree to your proposal.

[New Bradfordsburg]

So be it, the treaty is signed and it will be a completely done deal when Radiant Republic ceases to exist.

[New Bradfordsburg]

Regions and Nations of NationStates, at this time Dux Bradford John will address the recent developments in The War of The Radiants:

Nations of NationStates, distinguished members of the World Assembly...today, The Radiant declares complete victory and the end of hostilities in The War of The Radiants.

We thank our fearless allies in The Eurasian Nomadic States for ensuring this victory.

Today, there is one Radiant.

The Radiant has forever quashed the menace that was an illegal government, founded out of disloyal and dishonest intentions, and Radiant Republic is now in the hands of New Bradfordsburg's Combined Dáxlamic Forces.

The nations that once occupied Radiant Republic, which was created after a coup upon this legitimate and noble government, have vacated their region. These nations, which once dared to support the notion of exterminating our fine faith from this planet, now reside in Great Socialist States of Odinovich.

Odinburgh, the leader of this coup, has agreed to our terms of peace and today The Radiant is no longer at war.

It is a testament to the perseverance and dedication of our allies that we are able to say these words today.

We are also happy to announce that Shreminov, the former Minister of Justice in The Radiant, has returned to our region and now holds the WA Delegate position.

This day shall mark a new dawn for The Radiant.

While we celebrate today, we know that we must remain vigilant.

We have made many enemies in this war but let it be known, The Radiant will continue to defend herself if need be. We, however, wish for peace to prevail.

The Radiant will cease any hostilities toward all who we considered belligerents in this War of The Radiants, and we wish our ex-patriots well in their new region.

Today's raid on Radiant Republic shall be remembered in the annals of our culture as a tragic necessity.

It was not with pleasure that we sought to perform this raid, and it was not with satisfaction when it succeeded in forcing this peace accord. However, it was a moment that needed to happen to ensure a limitless future for The Radiant.

We will capitalize on that limitless future.

Tonight, Radiant Republic has been re-founded and will be held by The Radiant under password protection indefinitely. This region will never again be a thorn in The Radiant's side.

We have supported ongoing talks to create a worker exchange program with our ex-patriots, led by Odinburgh, which will allow our peoples to share the culture we both hold so dear.

To the regions of our world who judge The Radiant for the brutality of our tactics, please understand that we never sought war. We only sought after the best interests of our region, which today have been secured.

We call on all regions, including the Central Pacific Empire and Cobalt Network, to hear our words when we say that we will not seek to fight war.

This moment is a pivotal one in the history of our peoples, and we must turn toward peace.

If it is conflict that some of our colleagues seek, we remind them that we have won one war and will not relent if we find ourselves victim to an attack.

If this happens, we will not stop until your complete and utter destruction.

The Radiant will fearlessly defend our security, whether we have one WA nation or one thousand.

We are The Radiant Disciples and Governors of Dáxlam and we will not compromise for anything less than peace with honor.

Do not ask us how we could justify our tactics in this war. Many of you would not understand but we leave with these words from the sixth pillar of our faith, for we have forgiven ourselves and that is the path to truth:

Forgive your errs and use them to find truth.

We welcome those unknown with love.

Peace be with our allies and our enemies and long live The Radiant!

-Dux Bradford John, The Spiritual Father of Dáxlam

[New Bradfordsburg]

The New Bradfordsburg Dept. of State now releases the following statement regarding troubling updates following a peace deal in The War of The Radiants:

Yesterday, The Radiant entered into a peace agreement with Radiant Republic and Order of the Southern North. We have begun the process of restoring pre-war relations with regions like Central Pacific Empire and United Empire of Islam, and we are following our words to the letter of the agreement we signed.

It is with that fact in mind, that we will uphold peace with honor, that the government of Dux Bradford John in The Radiant releases the following telegram we received from SpenZerous roughly eight hours ago:

The King GHEEDORAH of SpenZerous
9 hours ago
Congratulations on victory, dear friend! I must say, my region and I are very impressed with you. Nevertheless, my team and I still have a bone to pick with Order of the Southern North. I have moved a nation into the region, where it will slowly gain influence. In time, I will try to politically move my way into an officer position, at which time we will strike. Moreover, we will continue war with the Great Socialist States of Odinovich.
As my closest ally, I hope you will continue to aid us in our struggle against these regions, as they have openly mocked my region. My numbers are slowly growing, and I hope to have close to 25 delegates by the end of the month. I am happy for your period of peace, but war must continue against these heathens. They pretend as though they have moral high ground, when in reality they are nothing bullies.

Today, The Radiant has been in contact with the Great Socialist States of Odinovich and we have attempted to reach out to Order of the Southern North to disseminate this startling development.

The Radiant refuses to assist in any war effort that shall violate the terms of The Treaty of The Radiants, which forbids The Radiant from entering into conflict with the signatory regions unless a violation of the document has occurred.

We shall pledge military support to Great Socialist States of Odinovich and Order of the Southern North if they come under any attack from the forces led by SpenZerous.

Furthermore, the raiders associated with this military alliance are currently being systematically ejected and banned from the occupied Radiant Republic.

The Radiant understands that our actions today may bring about wrath from our former allies, and we will be password protecting our region indefinitely at this time.

The Radiant immediately terminates our military alliance with SpenZerous and all forces associated with the regions Fear Johnism and The Eurasian Nomadic States.

As The Spiritual Father of Dáxlam, Dux Bradford John disowns these raider nations, who are falsely claiming an affiliation with Dáxlam.

Our faith asks us to welcome those unknown with love and teach them Dáxlam. We also believe it is an eternal sin not to help those in need and it is a sin to help those who will not help themselves.

These are pillars of our faith that we are unable to turn our backs on.

While these raiders may have numbers, they are powerless in shaping our destiny.

The Radiant will never be beholden to a foreign power and we will provide military assitance to our ex-patriots, now led by Odinburgh, if the situation arises. We will also intervene in any attack on Order of the Southern North, and we fear that Mome Yle, a recent addition to The Order, is a puppet of these raiders.

The Order should immediately ban and eject Mome Yle.

We call on Great Socialist States of Odinovich and Order of the Southern North to follow The Radiant's lead and password protect their regions while this threat continues.

New Bradfordsburg will not betray the peace treaty we have signed.

Today, after the alarming telegram was opened, we shortly considered becoming a spy, within the ranks of SpenZerous's forces, but after more reflection we see more benefit in blowing the whistle on these disturbing plans.

The nations of Great Socialist States of Odinovich now control their own destiny, and New Bradfordsburg is pleased with this development. It is for nations like Lussia, who was a loyal friend, that we take this action today.

While we have fought a war, the service of Odinburgh in The Radiant is not forgotten and this nation shall be an eternal friend of our peoples should they continue to uphold the treaty with good faith. We have no reason to believe they would act any differently.

The Radiant knows we cannot trust these forces under SpenZerous, for they act without honor, integrity and commonly use abusive language toward their opponents.

Moderation may be interested in seeing Radiant Republic's RMB, which is packed with derogatory statements, too vulgar to repeat, about Odinburgh.

We hope that action is taken for we would not conduct ourselves in such a manner. Not only do these methods go against Dáxlam, but they are against all sense of human decency.

The Radiant extends its utmost thanks to Odinburgh and the Great Socialist States of Odinovich for their courageous actions to seek peace. We will, in kind, seek to live up to the expectations that have been presented to us.

The goal of The War of The Radiants was to obtain a political objective, and that objective has been achieved. Any further aggressive action against Great Socialist States of Odinovich and Order of the Southern North will be considered a war crime of the highest nature.

Those who have opposed us, and our faith, have repeatedly underestimated and misunderstood us. Our faith calls for us to act on principal, and not to back down when our values are threatened.

We will stand up to these latest threats of war with courage and strength in recognition that efforts of human progress require peace, respect and love; not hate and dishonor.

For any further questions, please telegram New Bradfordsburg.

[Marilyn Manson Freaks]

Raider plans? This is roleplay.

[New Bradfordsburg]

Raider plans? This is roleplay.

We apologize for that. However, we posted it here because it is part of a continuation of this war, which began many posts ago.

[Odinburgh]

As member of my new founded region Great Socialist States of Odinovich as part of treaty agreement with New Bradfordsburg and the Radiant I find it dishonorable that the region of The Eurasian Nomadic States, Fear Johnism and other regions conspiring in your plans of intimidation of heartless acts upon regions to sway it to their advantage to extend this war that has already been agreed to end. To that I will uphold the promise as said in the details of the treaty that was signed. Even so take in slander of the vulgar language towards me that exists in their region and the protectorate lands of The Radiant that once was a former home to many of my members and myself. In all it is disrespect to the treaty that was signed to become between all the parties to continue to divide and continue this chaos. From the halls of Asgard of my ancestors and the Norse God Odin we join to condemn these despicable heartless actions that have taken place. The Great Socialist States of Odinvich will continue to chart its course of its own destiny and no one will come to divide us even so with my allies like The Radiant, The Order of the Southern North, the protectorate lands of Radiant Republic and any others you wish to tempt with your wrath. You have failed because you did not divide us. We became united. Should this wrath continue I will stand by all my allies. If we can't protect our regions, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it.

-Chancellor Josua Klinghoffer, Odinburgh

[Odinburgh]

I like to further make a statement that with many GHR's filed I am beginning to lose faith in the game as being a player here because I really wish the region The Eurasian Nomadic States, Fear Johnisn and their associates. Especially spenzerous of Fear Johnism which he put on their region factbook entry mentioning "ALL HAIL, KING GHEEDORAH, THE THIRD RAIL 700 VOLTS HOLDS Odinburgh TO A STANDSTILL" in my view goes beyond the line and is offensive. These raider regions I mentioned interfered with a bunch of roleplayers involved in this thread with myself and other who are role players. I didn't ask for this to happen nor my allies in the thread to resolve a situation that was role played out and resolved. Now they seized take advantage of it and they are giving me and my allies hell. I wish they would back off. Gee I wish someone would just understand but sure not getting the help I need to tell these regions to stop harassing us. Me and my allies only do the role play thing, not the raider thing.

[Dux Milan]

From The Villa of The Dux, in Dux Milan, A Statement From The Radiant:

The Radiant has temporarily seized a protectorate of Fear Johnism with combined forces from a coalition of the willing. The Irish underwater, listed as a "pillaged" region on the Fear Johnism world factbook entry, is now under control of The Radiant's combined forces.

This region has been liberated in response to a declaration of war from Fear Johnism upon The Radiant and Great Socialist States of Odinovich. The nations in Fear Johnism launched this declaration after peace was struck in The War of The Radiants, and it was launched upon both The Radiant and Great Socialist States of Odinovich.

If this region becomes a battleground, we ask for support from those willing to stand against unabridged aggression. The Radiant has taken the delegacy with Clandestinople.

-Dux Bradford John

[Dysmastan]

We are concerned about the profane words used on Radiant Republic's RMB directed toward the faith of Dáxlam as a whole. They are too vulgar to repeat here.

Right you are Zamora! All hail kifflom!

...Oops, sorry.

Wrong cult.

[New Bradfordsburg]

Right you are Zamora! All hail kifflom!

...Oops, sorry.

Wrong cult.

Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.

[New Bradfordsburg]

Nations of NationStates,

At this moment, the War of The Radiants has reignited and taken on a new life as The Radiant and her allies have fallen victim to systematic and targeted raiding campaigns at the hands of actors in Fear Johnism.

These nations, led by SpenZerous, today attempted raids of The Radiant and our ally Order of the Southern North.

Both raids failed.

However, other actions have succeeded in reigniting the war that our region once waged.

Actors from Fear Johnism have founded a competing region, in the form of Le Radiant. Additionally, the region of Radiant has also been founded and Truth to Liars, recently ejected and banned from Great Socialist States of Odinovich after provoking instability after the Treaty of The Radiants, is believed to be the nation behind this region.

Both regions are intended to mock the Dáxlamic faith and we ask all regions to withhold diplomatic relations with these regions.

Furthermore, The Radiant has received a disturbing telegram from the nation leading the raiders in Le Radiant, who participated in the raid on our region today.

The Oppressed Peoples of Cruchly
1 day 9 hours ago
Dearest Barf,
You and your Duxlamic scum must be effaced from the planet. Prepare yourself, as you will soon pay the ultimate price for your intransigence.
With warmest regards,
The Oppressed Peoples of Cruchly

This language is genocidal in nature and seeks to eradicate the Dáxlamic faith, and our followers, from the face of the earth. At this time, we remind all parties that such language should be opposed by the world community as an entirety.

These raiders may not like our region, or our leadership, but Dáxlam has as much a right to exist as they do. We are currently seeking allies who can help defend against these raiders and eliminate their threat in the future.

The Radiant now declares a state of war shall exist between our region and the regions of Radiant, as well as Le Radiant and their parent region of Fear Johnism.

These regions have become aggressive towards us as we seek peace, and are upset that we will not partake in their campaign of destruction. They have intentionally violated the "One Radiant" policy that led to peace with our ex-patriots and their actions should be unanimously condemned. We seek the help of our allies and those who we've not yet met in this new battle for our survival.
