Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan). Yes

What mediums can it broadcast on? The entire HoloNet (Holoscreens, TVs, Computers, Smartphones, Smartwatches, Smartglasses etc.)

Which government office manages it? The Ministry of Defence & National Security

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger? It never warns of an emergency wrongly, but sometimes is too sensitive.

What are the emergency categories? Terrorists, Military, Espionage, Natural/Accidental, Public Safety, Disease/Pandemic

If you would like, give a demonstration message: Nil

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan).

Yes. Not in line with the Glamorous tradition of often unnecessarily long names for public bodies, positions and apparatus, it is named simply "Anvil".

What mediums can it broadcast on?

Television; radio; via the internet, to each unit of any network designated as having a .glam home domain or being located within Glamour via satellite, Big Data, third party, IP and ISP information (notification is also hereby automatically sent to international news agencies by means of a pre-prepared bank of press releases and pre-recorded statements from the Diva); built-into all self-driving cars - a nationally pervasive transport system - which may redirect themselves underground in response; built-in as a feature of the nationwide emergency services linked panic room alarm system included in every home and public building designed, erected or renovated post-Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

In the event of Anvil's activation, all lights and non-essential electronics are extinguished throughout Glamour and all buildings have a system of direction, using internal floor lights and sound (similar to in emergency exit procedures an aircraft), towards the surface entrances to Glamour's underground multi-city-scale nationwide thermonuclear resistant infrastructure, including the Remedial Situational Address Room, whose location is highly classified. To ensure public confidence in the completeness of this infrastructure, one image has been released of the entrance corridors between surface level and interior bunkers, during a Soothing Address of Appeasement to the People's Royal Sovereignty following the 2008 invasion of Georgia by Russia:

Image


Which government office manages it?

Each Incumbent Diva of Glamour since 2001 has been implanted with a "Glitch-Switch", which comprises of a vibrating pad above her left breast, the activation of which by her military advisors signifies to the Diva that an international, national or regional emergency of gravity significant enough to warrant consideration of the implementation of Anvil by her military advisors has arisen. The intelligence cabinet (Xerox) brief the Diva after she responds in kind to this activation by indicating that she is to be whisked away into private by her bodyguards, also Xerox operatives. After being briefed, the Diva communicates her decision on behalf of the sovereign Glamazonian people to implement the activation of Anvil, and proceeds to the Remedial Situational Address Room, where all government officials and international ambassadors of significance retreat to before being swiftly directed to the correct bloc of the underground infrastructure so as to ensure the most efficient differentiation of service as is possible. The inclusion of ambassadors in the Remedial Situational Address Room facilitates negotiations over international issues, but they are subject to personal and extensive frisking before entry is permitted.

The Diva usually communicates via Xerox representatives and not via the use of her own personal handheld e-mail server, due to the ability of the media or other parties to intercept these communications. The purpose of the Glitch Switch is to notify her before any overt communication with her representative bodyguards has taken place as to the grave security nature of the impending situation, and to focus her mind on whether massive resource and potential civil unrest should be risked by calling for Anvil to be implemented, even before she is briefed. It also indicates to her that no matter which activity she is engaged in, she must abandon it, and a failure to do so means that responsibility passes onto the Chief Justice, three party Prime Ministerial coalition officials, or tribal Speaker of the House. The Congress of 200 members of the public in rotation has constitutionally agreed to allow itself to be excluded from these proceedings so as to minimise disagreement and non-expert input. As the Glamazonian population are their own Head of State, and the Diva a personification of their will, she risks being publicly disgraced and exiled if the decision taken is incorrect or delayed, either to take action or to take none. Even if the responsibility of this decision is passed onto other governmental representatives because of her failure to act swiftly, the primary responsibility for such a decision nevertheless rests with her.

The strategic arms of the Navy (based at the South of Glamour) and the Air Force (based at the North) along with the Diva, control the activation of Anvil and of the Iron Dome-style missile defence system over Glamazonian territory (named the Bell Jar) in conjunction with one another. Before the Diva has been briefed in conference with both the Southern and Northern Stations - automatically, when such a briefing is required and the Glitch-Switch is activated - the missile defence system shall initiate and all Glamazonians shall be directed indoors and thereby to the nearest entrance to the underground infrastructure. The Diva will then, once en route to the Remedial Situational Address Room, orchestrate and define the necessity of activating Anvil so as to bring alerted citizens underground also. Self-driving vehicles are only redirected, and the emergency address only issued, once Anvil has been implemented, to minimise unnecessary risk to public order. Once both Military Stations, and the Diva with the backing of Xerox, have decided that it is necessary to implement Anvil in addition to the Bell Jar, each station will input their part of the code as well as the Diva doing so in the Remedial Situational Address Room, to which end the Anvil alert process begins and vaults open fully to the public. The specific machinations of how this implementation effects procedures within the underground infrastructure is classified, but they become fully operational as places of extensive habitation in the event that Anvil is activated, for which they have been purpose-built and stocked to a self-sustaining capacity, in a process which involves a highly advanced degree of robotic automation following Anvil activation.

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger?

The Anvil infrastructure and warning system was completed as an addition to the Bell Jar system, which has been in operation since 1973, in 2012. It has never been practically initiated but is tested every year since 2012, with the public vaults opening only one third of the way before again closing, in a symbolic nationwide ceremonial festival (The Day of the Black Sun) featuring amateur dramatics, performance art, public art installations, poetry and literature recitals, dance and music reflecting the historic interplay between war and pacifism and the relation of this concept to current events and multiculturalism. This annual event ensures not only the working capability of the system, but also is broadcast as a "dress rehearsal" for the public, and politically serves as an example of the Diva's ability to not only showcase a readiness for protective and strong leadership, but also as a means for her to release stress and remain emotionally transparent with the public in a performance known as "Glamour's Anguish", where she displays the need for peace yet readiness for war through playing out a publicised role in this dress rehearsal. This is something which is always highly anticipated by the press, arts and public, and the Diva invites members of the public to pelt her with rotten vegetables and shower her with confetti post-performance, in accordance with their sovereign will and individual viewpoints, and as a display of Glamour's approach to political dissent and debate as an essential existential component to its nature as a progressive and pacifist nation.

The underground facilities themselves are routinely inspected by authorised engineers, scientists and strategists, and are not open to the public or to foreign parties for viewing as a matter of national security.

The Day of the Black Sun is also a public holiday, and serves as a cultural celebration of Glamour's appreciation of the land as the womb of humanity and of the respect that humanity must have for it, lest it should turn on us or cut us off from its life-giving supply, leading us to turn upon one another in resources-based or land ownership-based war. The holiday also emphasises a harnessing of that which nature gives freely, rather than a notion of land-ownership, something which has been central to the state's foundation as a condition upon which the indigenous tribespeople allowed the settlers to inhabit the land, with the exception of sacred parts, which are now conservation areas not permitted to be trespassed upon by non-tribespeople except at their own lawless risk. The holiday is considered at once to be more morbid than Hallowe'en, and also a more political, more arts-focused, less traditional bonding holiday than Glamourmas, and second only to Glamourmas in this sense.

In any event, the indigenous tribes who have chosen to remain uncontacted and who have not integrated into the urbanised population of Glamour, instead deciding to remain within their sacred lands around the southern border of Glamour, will adhere to their spiritual birthright to continue to live in an anarchist society within the lands which are protected by the state during peace-time. Because the Bell Jar and construction of Anvil are not permitted to interfere with these lands constitutionally, the tribespeople are therefore prepared to accept the fate of themselves and their lands in unison with one another during war-time events. They are a historic guerrilla fighting order and are prepared for conventional warfare on behalf of their land and the state surrounded by it, but they show a deep reluctance to discuss nuclear warfare except with urbanised tribespeople, who, despite having abandoned their tribal communities, are reluctant to share the contents of these discussions with the uninitiated.

What are the emergency categories?

If Glamour comes under bombardment from conventional missiles or against an invading Navy, Army or Air Force, then conventional warfare procedures initiate (The Bell Jar, fingerprint-activated reserve weaponry airdropped, tribal elders notified, citizens informed as normal, security heightened to maximum levels, military deployed, and, where necessary, whirlpool generators activated, no-fly zones established, bridges into Glamour detonated and ice caps subjected to manual avalanche). The Diva is informed of these developments whatever her location by use of the Glitch Switch.

If, after briefings and once the Diva is secure within the Remedial Situational Address Room, the threat could be considered irretrievably large-scale and/or nuclear, chemical or biological in nature - or if it is concretely established before the Diva is briefed that any of these are in probability the case - then the above processes are initiated, with the exception that the reserve weaponry is not air-dropped, but instead is transported into the underground infrastructure, and the reserves undergo intense training underground so as to serve as a force as near to actual military capability as possible after the activation of Anvil. Civilian recruitment into the reserves at this point is also maximised, with little need for propaganda of any description due to the life-altering events that Anvil implementation causes.

If you would like, give a demonstration message:

Once the Diva and both the Southern and Northern stations have implemented Anvil with Xerox approval, and normal wartime measures have commenced, the population are plunged into darkness and directed towards vault entrances which display a video of the Diva in mourning dress, or else those mid-transit in self-driving cars have their leisure unit interrupted to broadcast the same communication. This also happens online and via television, while on radio a hum of B flat is played as an indication of intercession to normal broadcasting material. The following message is then spoken:

"Esteemed, Dignified, Evolved and Indomitable Reigning Population of Glamour. In my life's service to you I now have deemed it inordinately necessary to inform you that the Anvil procedure has begun. Our belongings are not important. We now seek refuge within the land that has harboured us throughout our nation's great history. Long may Glamour continue. Be prepared for my next address in our new, and temporary, home together.

We are not above seeking to hide our faces from the untold horror that is coming over this Earth. We are by no means unprepared to do so, and this is but one more small step that we must take in our huge leap towards the cosmos."

A pre-recorded repetition then plays: "Please retreat to your nearest Anvil anchor point within [appropriate timescale] or face unfortunate exclusion. The population of Glamour will now go underground", repeats twice, interspersed after each repetition with one of a series of messages which elaborates minimally on the exact nature of the threat - natural, military, radioactive, or otherwise unknown. The messages are designed to invoke the spirit of The Day of the Black Sun, and to showcase the true nature of Glamour's Anguish in the Diva, so as to promote speedy and co-operative retreat. Following the sealing of the vaults, continuation of government is withheld with greater public participation than even that which was in Glamour's peace-time political structure, and future steps necessary in the survival and evolution of the Glamazonian population are discussed.

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan).
Yes. Several alert systems are employed, managed by different public and private groups. All Emergency Alerts are stamped with the Emblem and Seal of TurtleShroom.


What mediums can it broadcast on?
All emergency announcements are broadcast by radio, television, and on public speakers at any business.


Which government office manages it?
  • The Institute of Pandemic Studies, a part of the Black Death Prevention Unit (which covers more than just the plague) of the Ministry of the Police, manages all disease outbreaks, pandemic alerts, and medical warnings. It also monitors pollution warnings and zombie uprisings, which have occured in the country before.
  • The private entity, Weather Watchers, Inc., TurtleShroom's largest and only meteorological center, maintains all severe storms and all other weather-related emergencies.
  • The Inquisition, a branch of the Ministry of Police handling crimes regarding sex, drugs, and general immorality, oversees our equivelent of Amber Alerts and the like, concerning kidnapping, slavery, abduction, prostitution, and so on.
  • Mighty B Oil, Inc., a private corporation, is contracted to monitor all oil machinary in TurtleShroom to watch for dangers, explosions, leaks, and other risks to workers and the environment.
  • The "Nookular" (Atomic) Branch of TurtleShroom's military is in charge of announcing that TurtleShroom has been nuked, or a nuclear power plant has either had a meltdown or has sustained damage.
  • The Army branch of TurtleShroom's military announces if TurtleShroom has been invaded, or if conscription has been instated.
  • The TS State Fire Department maintains all issues concerning wildfire in the jungles and swamps.
  • The Crown can also declare an emergency not affiliated with one of these categories if need be.
    -
    Lastly, all tests of the system are run by the TurtleShroom Board of Censors.


How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger?
TurtleShroomer schools and businesses are expected (but not required) to have one drill for each scenario listed. Most employ quarterly drills. Nothing in TurtleShroom is required to have drills (except the military and police, etc.), but businesses can be held liable for not training their employees if emergencies lead to damage or death under their watch.


What are the emergency categories?
    See above.

If you would like, give a demonstration message:
Code: Select all
THIS IS THE MONTHLY TEST OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM IN PERTINENCE TO [X CATEGORY]. IF AN ACTUAL [X CATEGORY] SCENARIO HAD OCCURED, INSTRUCTIONS WOULD ENSUE IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS ONLY A TEST. JESUS LOVES YOU AND DIED FOR YOU.

The system is tested across all television, radio, and loudspeaker systems in TurtleShroom once a month, by the Board of Censors, which traditionally controls the media as a whole.


Jesus loves you and died for you!

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan).
Yes. JoijaWarn was first implemented in the Capital Province in 2012, and now covers 99.7% of Joija. It replaced the Joija Alert Broadcasting Service.

What mediums can it broadcast on?
Mobile and tablet devices, radio, loudspeakers, television, digital billboards and large public screens.

Which government office manages it?
Department of Media and Broadcasting.

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger?
In the 3412 times it has been used, it has proven, statistically, 97% effective (survey of 100000 Joijans).
In 2014, it was hacked by 3 Japanese students at Lāpaköss University, causing widespread panic in the Capital Province. The misuse of the system can cost a broadcaster up to J$1000000 (USD$100000) and individuals could face up to 3 years in prison.

What are the emergency categories?
- Earthquake/tsunami (most common)
- Flood (manmade or natural)
- Tornado
- Typhoon
- Severe storm
- Landslide/avalanche
- Public health warning
- Fire
- Public safety warning (shootings, riots, jailbreak, plane crashes, terrorist attacks, etc.)
- Cyberattack
- Nuclear/missile attack
- Nuclear meltdown
- Abduction of a vulnerable person

Sometimes, the Department of Defence may provide announcements. This is yet to be done under JoijaWarn, but the last time this was done was in 1978, when Kalistrian forces fired missile strikes at the Joijan islands of Mahgalo, Saalem and Auréte.

JoijaWarn is tested once a month at random times. The test screen does NOT show the DoMB logo.

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan).
Yes, we have oracles and prophets

What mediums can it broadcast on?
Public calls and sky omens, which are pretty much color coded fireworks.

Which government office manages it?
We have a Sensory and Verification division where said oracles and prophets can get clearance to proclaim it to the public but they can also act on their own independently, be warned that oracles and prophets who did not get a clearance and proclaimed false or mistaken doom or catastrophe will not be under protection by the sovereign prince.

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger?

There has been a couple of mistaken omens and false panics from trolls, the most recent being from 6 years ago by an immature apprentice soothsayer who fired a scintillating yellow-blue-white-red sky omen which means that a huge wave of molten spicy cheese fondue is going to engulf the town of Drachsil.

What are the emergency categories?

There is an extensive color combination chart for the sky omens and public criers can help interpret them accordingly.

If you would like, give a demonstration message:

"Behold! A Yellow green omen lights up the east kingdom! Beware the coming toxic fumes from porcine flatulence! Flee! Flee to the north while there is time!"

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan).

Yes, the UISSAEarlyWarn system was first established in 1987.

What mediums can it broadcast on?

TV, radio, mobile devices, public loudspeakers and PCs.

Which government office manages it?

The Department of Public Safety.

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger?

Very efficient, although there have been some times when it was a false alarm.

What are the emergency categories?

Natural disasters, military, terrorism, cyberattack, mandatory evacuation, nuclear/chemical biohazards and human error/accidental.

Levels of threats.
I = Minor natural disasters: Fires, rainstorms with winds under 300 mph etc.
II = Major natural disasters: Storms with winds above 300 mph, avalanches, floods, tsunamis etc.
III = Cyberattacks
IV = Mandatory evacuation
V = Terrorism or military
VI = Nuclear/chemical biohazards or human error/accidental

If you would like, give a demonstration message:

[300hz siren plays five times]
”Your attention please, this not a test, the following is a UISSAEarlyWarn Threat Level V message from the Department of Public Safety, a cruise missile fired by Artimea is predicted to strike in the following areas, the Greater UISSA area and the Central Isles. Those in the mentioned areas, for your own safety, please seek shelter immediately in the designated emergency shelters.”

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan). Yes, NEPA- Natjónel Emerjenzién Prójektjúón Alarmiin, or National Emegency Projection Alarm in English.

What mediums can it broadcast on? Televisions and radios.

Which government office manages it? Ej Pubelék Emerjienzién Ejdis (The Public Emergencies Office), part of the Department of Defence, Naval Warfare and Air Defence (DoUARN)

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger? It is very efficient, but there have been times where it didn't work, like when the system was first used. In 1960, the NEPA failed to warn people in the north of Viejas of an imminent flood. Around 40 died, and 4 villages were lost.

What are the emergency categories?
Katajóré (K) 1- Small floods or fires which may cause harm if not controlled.
Katajóré 2- Large floods, small wildfires.
Katajóré 3- Large floods, or large wildfires.
Katajóré 4- Mudslides, collapsing mountains, rockfall, boulders.
Katajóré 5- Blizzards, incredibly heavy snowfall.
Katajóré 6- Strong winds and rain. Tornadoes, hurricanes and storms.
Katajóré 7- Terrorist attacks, explosions.
Katajóré 8- Nuclear attacks, invasions.

If you would like, give a demonstration message:

Does your nation have a nationwide emergency warning system (like the EAS in the United States or J-Alert in Japan). Yes, there are two - the General Government Broadcasting, and the TimeLoop Warning System.

What mediums can it broadcast on? All devices cleared for release by the Amsertenic government must be able to broadcast the Emergency Warning System.

Which government office manages it? Local Authorities (GGB), The Temporal Magisters (TLWS)

How efficient is it? Was there ever a time where it was misused and caused panic, or it was failed to be activated and put people in danger? The first emergency warning system (GGB) has reported falsely, as the local authorities can be inept during their tests. The latter one (TLWS) has never reported falsely, as it is tied to the status of the Timeloop Device, ensuring that only whenever that fails will the latter warning system trigger.

What are the emergency categories? There are three forms of emergency warnings. The first two are reported by the GGB. First are [GENERAL WARNING] level, which covers anything that would occur on a normal planet, such as a miudquake, a flood or a drought. The second are [TEMPORAL WARNING] level. Not the same as the ones released by the Temporal Magisters, these warnings are just for events unique to Miud, such as extra-long droughts caused by too much sunlight on the daytime half of Miud, stasis-quakes caused by the effects of prolonged temporal stasis on plate tectonics, or time storms. These, however, are all minor compared to the major emergency of the TLWS. The only emergency that is broadcast by the latter warning system is timeloop failure, designated [CATASTROPHIC-LEVEL EVENT]. It would release Amserten from stasis, and the entire planet of Miud would be subject to the wrath of The Eternal Threat.

If you would like, give a demonstration message: Warning all citizens - !![TEMPORAL WARNING]!! Timestorm imminent! Proceed to Timestorm shelters in an orderly manner. !![THIS IS NOT A DRILL]!!

Any other information? Even pretty major GGB warnings are considered minor compared to those from the TLWS, which is why it has its own designated warning system just for itself.
