A Nation Divided (OOC | TWI ONLY)

[Noronica]

Atnaia, have you ever watched Ian McKellen's rendition of Richard III? That is how he is meant to be portrayed. Someone who is old an withering, yet extremely power-hungry. He holds grudges to those who are in a higher place than him and this can grow into intense jealousy. His lack of physical strength is a very sore subject for him. He is smooth in his speech, yet he is not entirely refined as he cares little unless he yields results. He is proud as you say, and he is unwilling to mould unless very much pushed to.

He speaks with a German accent but very fluent English, he speaks eloquently but bluntly in one-to-one conversation.

He is not a nice chap being a little on the creepy side especially when it comes to the women around him.

[Atnaia]

Okay...alright then. I think to start I'll have Wessich send diplomats to organize things. If such diplomatic overtures are condemned by the international community, as I expect they would be, Atnaia will grouse at the implied "threat to their sovereign right to diplomacy and attempts at peaceful resolution of a dangerous situation". It would be at that point that I'd have to do something more drastic. That would probably entail moving a naval presence into the area as a show of force.

Considering me and the EUSR,Aapelistan,and Tianshan are in a sort of economic agreement should i put my Navy and Air force in high alert cause a major agricultural trade partner is about to face:
the will of the Charbagnian People, Which reminds me of North Korea.
But anyways should i respond right now with changing from Defcon 5 to Defcon 3 and preparing my Navy and Air force for the case of a full blown invasion against the EUSR....

[Dormill and Stiura]

Alright, I'm just going to leave this here as a guide for what I intend to do during this and to get some advice on other things I might want to do during this. Italicized will be things I would like to do, but am unsure or would need confirmation from the other participants

• The Federal Republic's military, being mostly tied down with Operation Demeter, will be unable to send hard military assets until its path through the Eterna Sea is safe.
• However, assets from the Institute will likely be sent to start covert operations of some sort, ranging from simple spying all the way to inciting sedition in the population of Frébonne, Maibeaux, and Clermont in particular.
• Once the Navy can spare some ships (likely a Coastal Assault Force of a Cruiser, two Destroyers, and two Frigates) to headline Dormill-Stiuraian interests in the area.
• In opposition to both the interests of the EUSR and Mesder Sea powers, the Federal Republic and any relevant partners that are equally in opposition to the expansion of both Mesder Sea nations and the EUSR into this section of the Southern Sea will start a military operation that will grant the LPLG a place on the negotiating table at the end of all this and an ally that is neutral to the conflict of the Mesder Sea nations and the EUSR
• The Federal Republic and any relevant partners will, from the beginning of operations, move to secure Frébonne, Maibeaux, and Clermont before any of its rivals secure them.
• When this whole conflict ends, Dormill and Stiura would push for the creation of a LPLG state that is not allied with the major powers of the Mesder Sea for fear of jeopardizing our own goals of creating a stable investment environment in the Southern Sea that D&S's resurgent economy can take advantage of.

If there is anything else that I could be doing or if there are any other comments regarding this, I'd like to hear them.

[Noronica]

DS - I like your ideas especially inciting sedition as that’ll be an interesting dynamic to play out with multiple sections of the map trying to secede.

However, would you be connecting yourself to the various sides involved as going at it alone may raise some tensions with others joining in.

Also I’d love to see your italic idea as that would be interesting to see in our ‘Yalta Conference’.

[Noronica]

Just a quick check, are people still interested in this? I realise that the Isles has gone quiet as a whole as people have work to do, but I’m just making a quick check to see if I should still continue with this.

If anyone has any criticism to voice please do, I really want to make this RP one that I’m proud of OP’ing so feel free to shout out some ideas.

Mesder Sea powers...DS, does that include the C6?

If so then...Darn...

Like with Arvan, AM will once again send another "delegation" (maybe even the Hangma herself) with a whole list of demands when the time comes.

(Using the release of that arrested Athara Magarati citizen as well...)

As in before this whole thing gets hot and people start sending their armies. If this is okay with you.

[Bravo Rio]

I'm planning to send some special operatives to observe Charbagnia, any idea's on where they should be inserted and what they should do while there? Noronica

I'm still interested, obviously. I was actually mocking up a post but I have to finish a few essays first.

That would be lovely. I think there should be less of a strong reaction than Arván as I want this to draw out longer but I’d be interested in seeing this play out!

I’ll be interested to see that! I was really just asking as I was a little concerned that my Nuclear posts were a little ambitious.

Yea, I atleast am. Going to try to make a post of somesort about my intelligence in Charbagnia, especially as the nuke thing got leaked

Or then possibly more public stuff, but I need to think about it

I'm interested but the two weeks after thanksgiving are about to be pretty inactive for me

[Noronica]

Glad to see people are still interested!

Here is a new post, beware, it’s a lengthy one. The League reps have been arrested.

Regarding Comb's new post - has the invasion started?

No. I don’t really know what the last part of his post is, I think it is his operatives on the island but then these guys seem more like special forces.

Combrekniza - if these guys are SpecOps, please remember that we are not engaging in open conflict yet unless you want to risk the lives of the incarcerated and the international community looking at you negatively.

Alternatively, if these guys are just intelligence operatives, that’s fine.

[Noronica]

Thanks for the recent posts guys, I’m glad that this RP is still going on. I’ll try and post as soon as possible.

Those are MoS units of the A.F.O.U, The KGB in a way.
The Reason i arm them with weapons are because they are supposed to Incite a Revolution while undergoing Assasinations and other stuff.

I'm arming the Revolution with the Same way how i sent in my Agents, First it's the Small arms, and once a large Portion and a Port is secured the Heavy Vehicles.

[Covonant]

Time to get into this RP. I will write a post later today ntn major but just to show my interest in the rp and to kinda introduce my country now turning attention to the issue.

[Noronica]

Posted. Not sure if I went too over-the-top, but I enjoyed writing it.

As soon as the League finished discussions, I think I'll bring up the investigators.

[Dormill and Stiura]

I don't know when it would be a good time to initiate sedition in the French-dominant regions of Charbagnia. I would have to guess that Noro intends to have things hit the fan once the League gets wise to the issue of both Charbagnia's weapons and of the deaths of the investigators. But unfortunately, I can't participate in the League since both my Ambassador and Junior Ambassador walked out. So that means I'm sort of left in waiting until I get an all-clear to start shaking things up.

[Atnaia]

When things do hit the fan, I'm expecting the Charbagnian government to "hire" Stone Wall-Bastion (or another of the government-tied PMCs) on the cheap, giving Atnaia at least some plausible deniability in the initial stages of this shitshow.

If you’re itchin’ for a postin’ it might be interesting to see the construction of the D&M structure behind the rebels, setting it up for future posts and allowing the movement to become stronger.

I do intend to get things moving once the ‘gasp’ from the League comes.

Ooh - I hadn’t thought of this. That’ll be interesting certainly when it comes to pointing fingers in the ‘Yalta’ Conference we have at the end.

How involved are the companies in Merrit? I’m wondering to see how many would be able to support the Charbs.

[Atnaia]

The companies comprise half the military forces of Atnaia, although with quite a bit of underwriting by the government. They're effectively an actual professional military that can occassionally contract out chunks of its forces not on permanent retainer with Atnaia to do other work. In actuality, this let's Atnaia get boots on the ground with a certain level of plausible deniability, but at the expense of communication and organization, since the companies work semi-independently.

[Thuzbekistan]

Is this still open to newbies?
