Red Sun Rising

The Red Sun Military is a new raider organization currently heavily in the works even as you read this, and is focused on the common and uniting goal of raiding. If you are not in the know of what this term means, the word raiding, otherwise ‘invading,’ is a term used to describe what happens when an organization or military enters a region in order to seize the position of World Assembly Delegate, which can then be used for many things.

When we ‘raid’, we do so for fun and bonding. Raiding isn’t purely about wanting to cause havoc and grief in a region, though some may use that as their sole reason for doing it, and for many it definitely contributes to their reason. It’s more so to encourage development, skill, reflex, and bonding of individuals partaking in the organization, and is often used as a diplomatic-development initiative between other organizations with similar goals. Many operations will include other organizations, which is why I say ‘diplomatic-development,’ because the reason these exist is for two things: to extend each other’s operational capabilities, and to get other organizations together to share a similar enjoyable experience.

Raiding is not meant to be an ‘evil’ act, and we do not intend to make it that. Though the practice does involve sacking a region, these effects are easily undone and is meant to contribute to the overall NationStates experience. What’s life without a few thrills?


Image


Our diplomatic goals are to forge and create a long-lasting harmony between other organizations and us. We intend to do so by partaking in foreign raids, operations, and engaging in generally friendly undertakings in order to strengthen the bond between us. This allows for the term ‘raider unity’ to hold a truly ultimate meaning.

Diplomatic endeavors with all regions are highly encouraged here, regardless of their organizations status, size, or whether or not they partook in hiding penny from us they have similar goals.

The Red Sun is a strictly raider-oriented martial, which means the only ‘defending’ that exists in such an environment is the defense of our or other another organization(s) occupied region(s). This does not mean, however, that we will not work with organizations that partake in both raiding and defending, such as those rum and debate-loving natives in The North Pacific.


Image


Embassy requests are encouraged for all nations, even the embassy-loving ones that seem to send requests to all regions. You will be able to tell the difference between a raided-region embassy and a regular region embassy because raided region embassy requests will remain as requests, while regular region embassy requests will either be accepted or rejected.

Embassy establishment denotes formal relations between you and this organization. This means you are expected to relay an ambassador or yourself into our discord server or forums, and they are expected to engage in activities related to maintaining such formalities. We will say no to gifts because that’s so 15th century


Image


The term ‘raider unity’ has already been used in this post, so I will explain what this means.

Raider Unity means unification among raiders, expressly in the way that we remain harmonious with one another. It is unacceptable to purposefully engage (even if its inactive) another raider organization in a blatant attempt to cause some form of havoc. This includes server or forum raiding, and raiding on NationStates. Doing so will earn you and your puppets nations a ban-eject from our (soon to be established) jump point and heartland.


Image


The inner workings of our organization entails many things. For one, when entering, you are REQUIRED to list your puppet nations that will be used during raids. If you have none just yet, say so. When do you end up creating them, you will send a telegram, discord message, or forum message to a Colonel or above so that your puppet can be registered in a super-secret puppet spreadsheet, so that we can keep track of who is who, and log who partook in raids. This is entirely for reference purposes if the need arises.

Additionally, the following are a list of current military ranks and how they are achieved













RankStandard
Private ✰Enlisted personnel rank. This signifies a recruit who is currently being trained in the art of raiding, as well as other useful information.
Private First Class ✰✰Signifies an individual who has successfully grasped the ropes of raiding and is now a fully enlisted personnel member. They may now partake in operations and provide minor help to recruits if needed.
Corporal ✰✰✰The Corporal Rank is assigned to people who have displayed a visible amount of prowess, knowledge, and skill in non-sanctioned and sanctioned raids, including operations. These people have shown activity and knowledge in this field, and are therefore allowed to hold more minor operations.
Buck Sergeant ✰✰✰✰The Buck Sergeant Rank is an entry-level sergeant rank. This is assigned to people who have shown greater knowledge and skill than the standard of corporal, and have partaken in numerous raids. These people are by now known members of the community and are able to sanction training raids, and moderately sized operations.
Sergeant First Class ✰✰✰✰✰This rank is assigned to those who have shown a prominent ability to raid and have shown a great level of dedication and loyalty to the region. They are authorized to host training raids and large-scale operations when an opening is available.
Command Sergeant Major of the Army (Special Rank)Command Sergeant Major of the Army is an individual who has shown an unrivaled dedication to the organization and the development of recruits and members. This individual has, unfortunately, retired, but has elected to stay in the region.
1st Lieutenant ✮An entry level officer rank. These people have met the requirements of Command Sergeant Major, but have spent at least 1 month as a Sergeant First Class. They are tasked with keeping lower ranks (especially sergeants) in check and have a profound knowledge of raiding and its elements.
Captain ✮✮This individual has spent at least 3 months as a 1st Lieutenant, and has displayed an unrivaled loyalty and dedication to being active and generally helpful.
Major ✮✮✮A major should be well-known in the community and display a large amount of knowledgeable prowess, coupled with hosting sanctioned raids regularly and participating frequently in foreign raids.
Colonel ✮✮✮✮An individual who has spent at minimum 5 months as a Major, and is capable of employing professionalism, maturity, and activity. Colonels and above are responsible for handling promotions and demotions when necessary, as well keeping lower officer ranks in check and at their standards.
General ✮✮✮✮✮Highly respected and achieved members of the community who have surpassed the rank of Colonel and have displayed unrivaled skill sets both at home and abroad. They are the leaders of the organization and are responsible for its day-to-day activities.
General of the Army ✮✮✮✮✮✮The Leader of the entire organization. They are responsible for the maintenance of generals, and deeming whether or not they are worthy to take on such a role. The General of the Army is responsible for home protection alongside the Home Affairs officer, and will sometimes serve as an impromptu diplomat to other regions.








We miss you Penny please return home safely ;(

So after a few weeks in TBH you decided you're good enough to start your own military?

I think you'd be a better graphics designer than raider.

This includes server or forum raiding, and raiding on NationStates.

I would hope that all server or forum raiding results in a swift ban from everywhere, no matter the place it was done to.

I for one wholeheartedly encourage the rise of new raider groups. We all have to start somewhere, after all.

I think you'd be a better graphics designer than raider.

As you can clearly see, he's doing both. Not sure what you want to say here.

Good luck, Asterguard. If you ever want advice or help, let me know :)

I'm remotely operating it from TBH. Doesn't mean I'm leaving it. If you look my puppet nation is holding the founder position.

I had no idea its a neo-nazi flag. I've changed it. I found it on google looking for flags. It didn't mention any neo-nazism on the flag ;(. Again, apologies.

Yeah, permanent invite is the way to go, unless your server is supposed to be hidden.

PFC Penguin Dawn (trigger)
(Lily) Supreme Commander Sweeze

The Red Sun of Yore is Zizou/Penguin Dawn. Considering that The Autumnal Court of Caer Sidi recently went on a fun albeit chaotic tag raid with RSA, I sincerely hope to see RSA thriving one day and us doing more ops together.
