The Great Jolthiger Revolution (Closed, TG me to join)

[Jolthig]

Nolograd, Jolthig

Today was going to be one of the most important and violent days in the history of Jolthig, a revolution against Empress Pamlia and her oppressive Huangdiist regime. For too long (for what it has seemed like to the people of Jolthig), the Empress of Jolthig abused the populace of Jolthig with an iron fist. With democracy gone... or so they thought... a new revolution would begin... protests would start to springing up, demanding democracy to be restored to Jolthig again.

Imperial Palace

With the protests outside, General Joseph Kitwell informed Empress Pamlia that protests were outside demanding democracy. Angry, the Empress ordered the Jolthiger Army to supress the protests. General Joseph Kitwell would call on the Jolthiger army divisions in Nolograd to supress the protests. Within hours, the Jolthiger army would come out to suppress the protests. 3,000 troops would attempt to suppress a protest of a 20,000.

As ordered, the army would begin their brutal suppression of the protests. Tanks were seen on the streets firing on protesters while the soldiers fired their guns on the protesters. The city of Nolograd was now a warzone as martial law was declared. The protests were cleared out and strict martial law was declared all over Jolthig, but however, one part of the Jolthiger Army in the southwestern part of Jolthig would rebel against the Empress as they too have been oppressed by Empress Pamlia as many of their families were killed for not obeying Empress Pamlia. These armies were lead by General Alexander Pedrolusti who advocated social democracy as well as equality. The General has called on his army as well as the people of Jolthig to join him and stand up to the Empress of Jolthig. Almost everyone agreed and General Pedrolusti's army and some civilians joined the newly founded Movement For Social Democracy in Jolthig. Soon, Southwestern Jolthig as well as the rest of Jolthig would rise up to Empress Pamlia I of the People's Huangdiist Empire of Jolthig. The rebels also hoped that Jolthig's neighbor Capisaria would come to assist the rebels on the overthrow of Pamlia as the Capisarians advocated democracy against dictatorships.

In meantime, the rebels supported by civilians would clash with the Jolthiger Army at the City of Subustin. 3,000 rebels troops lead by Colonel Joseph Ubusti would clash with a Jolthiger Army of 2,000 troops in the city of Subustin. Urban warfare would soon break out in the streets of Subustin. Gunfire was heard from both sides as the battle breaks out.

OOC: It's good to not directly mention a nation in the first post. Also, it wouldn't have happened that fast, so I'm gonna start RPing with the first day of protests. Your Empress has not yet ordered anything.

Westevi Border Checkpoint
The road between Capisarian Jolthig and Jolthig had just opened for the morning of 1 Tymi 2021/2, the first day of the transitional mini-month that the Capisarian calendar has between years. In mainland Capisaria, religious and secular holidays would soon bring the country to a 2 week long holiday and a week long cleanup event seen every year. Of course, Gregorian Calendars put the date at 21 December 2012. A bright LED Sign showed the date in both calendars, as well as proclaiming the freedom of the Capisarian governance of Capisarian Jolthig, still referred to by the current regime to the west as East Jolthig, despite it's full incorporation as a Province a few years prior.

The 5 lanes for customs opened as usual. For the past few months, almost no passengers from the Jolthig side came into Capisarian soil. The day was slow, the Border Officials waited for the few cars that had left Capsiaria to return this day, until an alarm sounded in the nearby surveillance building, although it was officially a duty-free shop.

-Radio Broadcast-
At approximately 2:00 PM, JAT (Jolthig Archipelago Time Zone), protestors in the center of the capital of Jolthig, Nolograd, have began gathering to protest the current regime of Jolthig. While press officials from Capisaria have a hard time entering on Journalist visas into jolthig, it is believed the crowd in the center of the Government Buildings of Nolograd may be anywhere from 500 to 20,000, although the latter number is most likely impossible as it would take more than just a few hours for such numbers to come out in protest. The Capisarian Government has not yet issued a statement on the matter, although it is expected to within the hour. Up next in news, a north Capisarian football team has...

OOC: Thanks for the details. I haven't RPed in a while so i'll be relying on you for help in case if I drive off my path.

"Democracy Now!" yelled the protesters as they marched towards the imperial palace guarded by a few guards. The protesters were furious towards the Empress as they hated her for abusing the Jolthiger populace. The protesters carried signs saying, "DEMOCRACY NOW!" "WHEN WILL THE EMPRESS GIVE US RIGHTS." "DOWN WITH EMPRESS PAMLIA I"

In the Palace

"Your highness it seems that there are massive protests outside the palace." - Defense Minister Rodal Pedings.

"Protests?" - Empress Pamlia.

"Yes. There's protesters outside demanding democracy." - Defense Minister Rodal Pedings.

"How dare they question me? I am the ruler of Jolthig for life! No one could question me!" - Empress Pamlia.

"Indeed, your highness." - Defense Minister Rodal Pedings.

"I want the riot police from our local government police station to suppress the protest." - Empress Pamlia.

"Yes. your highness." - Defense Minister Rodal Pedings.

The first actions against the protesters was ordered. Riot police would be sent in the deal with the protesters, but as of now the riot police haven't arrived just yet, but the protesters would continue to protest against the government.

[Mexican Liberation]

All was quiet in the Mexican Liberation government

The usual routine

Civil Rights this,Political Freedoms that

Economy here,Environment there

But one little word...okay,four words,caused the routine to drastically change...

Word had got out in the capital building

And the next thing,everyone flipped their TV channels to the Jolthig portion of the news package

"CIVIL UNREST IN JOLTHIG" the captions read

Immediately,one by one,each of the politicians viewing the broadcast all knew what would happen,as they exchanged serious expressions as if to say

"Do it..."

They continued to watch the live broadcast as the reporter spoke of the protests

"Since yesterday,news reports have come in that protests against the current regime in Jolthig have been raging and show no sings of calming down,and the government has yet to respond.Many believe the protests in Jolthig are the result of the current regime in the nation of Jolthig,a notably close ally of Mexican Liberation,run by their empress,Pamlia.The government of Mexican Liberation has yet to release its stance on the issue,but a few government agents have reported that the government WILL do something about the protests,and now..."

The next thing that happened is not as expected

Suddenly,reports have come in from various parts of the nation that protests have also started in Mexican Liberation,primarily communities with a heavy Jolthiger presence

A secret government meeting has been conducted to decide what to do

Though no one outside those attending knows what exactly was discussed,everyone seemed to know what was going to happen

The government of Mexican Liberation has revealed publicly that it will intervene on the incident on the protesters' behalf

OOC: You need to more thoroughly flush out your emotions. It seems jumpy with just dialogue.
IC:

Locoha, Capisarian Mainland, 11:00PM, 1 Tymi 2021/2

Anger. Rage. Fury. These were but a few of the many emotions coursing through the Prime Minister's wing of the Government Complex. Capisarian moles in the National Jolthig Police had informed Capisarian listening posts that orders had been given 6 hours prior to the meeting in Capisaria, which was itself 4 hours ahead in time zone as Jolthig was.

A heavy sigh broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

"So, let me get this straight." Vugo pushed, "The police have organized but not fired or acted against the democrats?"

"No, sir, they have not. As of 7:00 PM JAT, there are still active protests all over the country." said the booming voice of John Harkness, Head of the Greenfire Institute, in charge of coordinating...external...activities of the Government of Capisaria.

"That's good. I don't think we need to use brute force quite yet. It would be very unrealistic of us to think we could do that and not turn the country into a warzone, however," Vugo paused. He got up to his Keurig Pod coffee maker. He paused and gave a look to the others in the room if they wanted any. The coffee itself was less for taste and more to keep them all awake. He made five cups for the people in his room. The coffeemaker made the buzzing sound and soon his brew was ready. He took a sip. "Ah, now, where was I? Yes, right, however, back a few years, back when we managed to establish the former East Jolthig island as a full province of Capisaria..." he glanced at a map of the archipelago. Capisarian Jolthig, Jeffrey Island, Jolthig, and Sovietta all dotted the large expanse of islands, all a nice expanse of 10,000 sqkm, and Capisaria had staked claim to all of it at one point.

"I think our goal here is to relieve the Jolthig government of their, burden." started Vugo. His head snapped to the Head General, a new one, name of Jean-Pierre Osay "Get together small amounts of troops in Capisarian Jolthig, eventually we won't need to distinguish the two."

[Jolthig]

Nolograd, Jolthig

Over a few hours of the protest,riot police would arrive to confront the protesters. The protesters were still demanding democracy, but the Empress has not responded to the people and the protesters would get a little more violent as riot police arrived. As a response the riot police began to do what they were told to do. The police would put on their masks, hold riot shields and get out whips and battle the protesters.
