The Kundistan Doubt (IC - APSIA Only)
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2018 1:15 pm
CLASHING OF THE SWORDS
The Nationalist Gold Union restored it's republican form of government and vowed to rid the world of vile crowns. The NGU and McFreedomstan teamed up to dethrone monarchies across the world and took out about three -- only one through direct military intervention. Alorn was invaded and annexed by the Nationalist Gold Union. Empress Alexandra of Worris killed herself and a new federal republic tried to piece everything back together. Queen Emma of Standevia decided that she would just be the Queen of YouTube instead of Standevia. Meanwhile, Morgan Cane of Panjal quietly consolidated power and centralized his position in the Panjali government only to be assassinated years later. Tejas declared independence from the Miltonia, an act which still hasn't been mutually resolved. The President of the NGU fell off a crane and to prevent radicals from taking over, General Arthur Hecker restored the monarchy under a new constitutional and democratic system with Paul Philip IV as the Leader-Emperor. The NGU and the Miltonia helps mediate a peace between Ubizytotska and Panjal over the Pashtun region. Vanavoy's Empress is killed and Paul Philip claims the throne, but Vanavoy blames Noxtrem, starting the Third Rhine War. The NGU intervenes and signs a peace deal with Vanavoy that puts Paul Philip on the throne of Vanavoian Emperor. Vanavoy completely annihilates the Noxtremian armed forces and continues to occupy the nation. Meanwhile, McFreedomstan snatches the islands of Hawaii from Vanavoy and pushes for increased relations with the many Jewish states sharing a coast with the Indian Sea. Rhodesia, an NGU protectorate, fights back after the Afrikaner Weermag army tries to end the autonomy mandate per the request of the Union government. And you thought that your cozy life in Svallbard sucked because of the snow.
NASHEED OF THE DEFIANT
It's almost been 20 years since the Coalition poured into Kundistan. Veterans of the great "Kundistan War" are now spread sparsely across the world, silent about the horrors they saw while deployed abroad. Although the Emir was toppled and the bloody genocide against the Kundistani ethnic minorities was brought to an end, the scars of the war never healed. Now, Kundistan is split between East and West Kundistan. East Kundistan, which is not an official legal term, was annexed directly into the Empire of Ubizytotska. Many millions of Kundistanis were deported to the west while others were forced to secularize. Over the past two decades, East Kundistan has changed from a vibrant half of a nation with a special and unique culture and a rainbow of ethnic peoples to what is essentially an oversized naval base for the Ubizytotskans. Meanwhile, in West Kundistan (which isn't an official legal term either), officially called the Republic of Kundistan, the economy and people have never truly recovered. Originally what was a democratic puppet state of the NGU, the Republic of Kundistan cut ties only months after being established due to the civil war in the NGU. Cutting away from the NGU turned to be a bad idea though, as the war-torn nation struggled to get back on it's feet. After the collapse of the Jerusalemite Patriarchy, the small Kundistani army managed to retake some previously-owned territory but the nation is still very unstable. Radical clerics and revolutionaries threatening the sitting constitutional government aren't helping, either.

THE BANNER HAS CALLED US
As any militaristic empire would do, the Ubizytotskans decided to hold a military parade in Tashkent today. The street was lined with soldiers and tanks, and the sidewalks were full of enthusiastic onlookers who definitely were not required by law to attend. In the distance, senior military officials watched and saluted their troops as they passed along the blazing roads. Then, at about noon, there was a detonation. A hand grenade was tossed into a small grouping of marching soldiers, who were all killed in the blast. Chaos erupted in Tashkent, and civilians tried to escape the scene. Now, Ubizytotskan officials scramble to figure out who was behind the attack.
One lead suggests that the Jihadist Islamic Movement of Central Asia and Kundistan (JIMCAK) was behind the brutal attack, which left a dozen soldiers killed and several civilians injured by the shrapnel. The JIMCAK was on the Ubizytotskan terror watchlist as a group that seeks to remove the Ubizytotskan presence from Kundistan. This was their first major attack, and it sent shock-waves across the nation. The Republic of Kundistan, which claims it is "the governing state of all Kundistan" in its constitution, denied any and all involvement with the JIMCAK and condemned the attack. However, the Ubizytotskans saw the attack as an act of Kundistani aggression, and began to mobilize.

While Ubizytotska scrambles to get to the bottom of the attack, the rest of the international community watches from afar. That is, only for a short amount of time. Early in the morning, a man with a Kundistani passport overstaying his visa in the Nationalist Gold Union crosses the gate to the Ubizytotskan embassy and detonates a suicide vest at the front door, shattering the entire facade of the embassy into pieces and killing the Ubizytotskan ambassador. Witnesses say he said something about "Free Kundistan" before detonating himself.
Later in the day, two similar attacks were attempted in Panjal and Worris, but the assailants were captured and detained. Both claimed to be fighting for the Jihadist Islamic Movement of Central Asia and Kundistan. The three governments added the JIMCAK to their list of terrorist organizations, but the attack sparked a debate over whether or not Ubizytotska should be allowed to continue occupying East Kundistan.

SO ARISE, BROTHER
Now that Kundistan is relevant again, it's unsure if the West Kundistanis were behind the attack or if the nations of the world should sacrifice hundreds of thousands of more lives in a desert far away. Regardless, many doubt that the Kundistan Question has actually been solved. Hopefully that doubt is answered.
