For those that remain:
Some time in the future (edit: Late 2050's), a nation calling itself the National American Socialists rises up in Alaska. While it's rhetoric echoes that of Adolf Hitler, there has yet to be any concrete evidence to show the leadership committing violent acts to it's populace. However, it does seem that where ever the countries leadership goes, a river of blood follows.

Soon, events will transpire that will cause the entire world to take note of events in this fledging nation. One such nation already a part of these events is the Constitutional Empire of Significance, although it's Emperor does not know this yet....

The fate of the world is in your hands.

Rules:
No godmoding, make sure to have other players consent when interacting with them, no teleporting, don't just walk over other nations (be too overpowered), it isn't fun and it ruins the story.

[National American Socialists]

The former NAS Senate building, New Dawn, capitol of the National American Socialists

Thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, were gathered at the steps of the Senate building, proudly waving NAS flags. Behind them, cameras were glued to a podium that had been set up at the top of the steps of the Senate building, waiting for the man of the moment to arrive, millions, perhaps billions (this was worldwide) more, were watching. They weren't dissapointed.

As a tall, muscular man appeared, with blazing blue eyes and shiny blonde hair, the crowd gathered errupted into cheers. When the man reached the podium, he merely waved his hand, and crowed went silent, fixated on what he was about to say. This man was in total control of the situation, it seemed.

"My people, what an honour it is to see you on this fine sunny morning, a new dawn, you might say."

The crowd chuckled.

"A new dawn for our people, and our glorious country!"

The crowd cheered.

"For those of you that don't know, although I'm not sure how you wouldn't..."

A wink to the cameras, more chuckles.

"...my name is Mark Shining, your new Furher!"

More cheers, then, silence. Almost as if expecting the next part.

"Gone, are the bureaucrats. Gone as the backhanded payments. And soon, gone will be the Zionists running it all! It is all falling in, for the hidden world rulers! Today, it is our nation! Tomorrow, the world! We will spread our wings and free everyone, from their grasp! The democracy they hide behind will be no more! Only leaders who aren't afraid to show their face!"

He paused, he had the audience captivated, and he knew it.

"This building behind me is the first step. No longer is is a Senate run by corrupt Zionists, beholden to no one. It is now, an Imperial Palace, a beacon of hope to those the Jews have squashed on their way to power! A beacon that says, we will not surrender, we will not give up, until we have taken you away from your thrones Jews! Every last one of you!"

The crowed erupted into cheers now, unable to hold it in. Mark merely smiled, and waited a few minutes from them to calm down.

"However, this will not happen without your help. A leader is only as strong as it's people. Will you help me?"

The crowed cheered.

"Yes"

Mark smiled, having fun with this part.

"I can't hear you"

The crowed cheered louder.

"Yes!"

He had them.

"For our people!"
"For our people!"
"For our country!"
"For our country!"
"Down with the Jews!"
"Down with the Jews!"

As he spoke, the crowed echoed his words. With the final sentence repeated, they erupted into cheers once more. Mark merely waved and smiled, before walking off the podium to even more cheers. Behind the cameras however, unseen, it was quite a different picture to the cheering crowds, as Jews were rounded up into vans, to be taken to an undisclosed location....

[Kenmoria]

In Kenmoria, the Parliament was in consternation. This new Fuhrer, Mark Shining, and the nation he represented, were not good news for the world at large nor for Kenmorian interests. Normally, a position of strict neutrality would be maintained as had been done so for many years ever since the end of the Cold War. Since that point, not a single official government spokesperson had stood against even the most despotic regimes. Corporations within Kenmoria were free to openly practice slavery in impoverished nations and nothing would be done. It wasn’t the people who were at stake after all, just Human Resources. Unfortunately, this time it was the nation that was at stake.

A dictator will, if let alone, never stop doing whatever is it he wishes to do, just as an empire will never stop conquering. Even this, by itself, would not be enough to spurn the members of parliament into action. The most harm that would be caused would be one of them looking mildly perturbed while reading the newspaper. However, the anti-semitism, the racism, and the autocratic sentiment were all sending rather sinister signals, ones that had not been noticed since the last time a Kenmorian military invasion had happened. The last time there was Fuhrer, standing on top of everyone else, it really didn’t go too well.

Based upon this, a reasonable person may assume that there would be some great consternation, a tumultuous uproar from the Prime Minister culminating in a great roar of sanctions and invasion. The bark of the Kenmorian dog is far worse than its bite, and this was no exception. Such a dire circumstance could spurn some communication, in private, with the National American Socialists. A strong and firm letter might be sent. Failing this, perhaps a public announcement could be made, a charismatic speech informing the world of such atrocity. This would be the path that a just government would take. However, the Parliament was not just, nor particularly similar to a government; half of the military was under private control and the other half had branded weapons. For the moment, nothing would be done.

Maybe later, at a time when actual outcry began appearing, from somebody other than a few unimportant activists, the nation of Kenmoria could sign a communication to the World Assembly, asking for a condemnation of such practices. When the people were inflamed, and demanding action before the next election cycle, then some condemnation could begin. But right now, that was not the case. It was the late 2050s, and the government’s five-year term had just begun, only near the end of that time period could some actual controversial action be taken. Such was the flaw of democracy, and open systems in general. Nevertheless, it was still better than the system that Mark Shining was imposing, one of tyranny and control. The latter value, in particular, was one that the Kenmorian people particularly hated.

However, the gears of the corporations were turning in a different fashion. These were entirely different animals, and ones that had completely different aims. Who cares if a few Jews get killed? In Kenmoria, the Jewish-led companies are the ones with that mantle. The others couldn’t care less, and would do so only if it had a significant impact upon their work flow management strategies. The National American Socialists were evil, there was no question of that, at least as far as most people were concerned. However, they still had cash, and blood money pays just as well as normal money. The almighty Euro was what ruled the companies, and if a certain Mark Shining would be willing to pay, he could surely have the support of the national enterprise. Then again, so could anyone else.

[Madossa]

For long, ever since the turn of the millennium, Madossa had engaged in a policy of dialled-down interventionism; where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles would bomb the countrysides, where ammunition and money would be gifted, where food aid would be supplied. Even with the more radical members in Parliament opposing it, people were rather content, as it kept the boys home and the factories building cars instead of tanks.

So, when this dictatorial state rised to power, there hadn't been much of a stir at home. Activists were far and few, as so far there hadn't been much evidence of the state's true intentions. That is, until the speech.

Parliament has been in debate and deliberation for a while now, with this new state being pushed to the side as the members argued over and over on whether or not Madossan involvement in Spokane should had been more deep then simple food aid. Alas, when the new state showed its true colors, many politicians had to throw their delicately-composed speeches and arguments into the gutter, as a series of parliamentary meetings about the Alaskan situation had been scheduled.

As the arguments and quagmire of a divided debate dragged on, a plan was beginning to be formed by the military and some members of parliament. One, that happened to coincide with a recent shipment of 25 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles from a Kenmorian arms manufacturer, in which a drone bombing campaign would wreak havoc on tactical targets in Alaska, in the hopes that a like-minded country could sweep Alaska and restore democracy.

For the time being, however, this plan would be left on the planning board, and parliament would debate for some time more.

[Domina Nostra Nova Terra]

Quebec-Saint Dismas, 8pm

Ignatius had just finished the evening mass and address to the people. The Patriarchate had long shared a peaceful North America; having only to send its brave men overseas when man's fallen nature made itself known in the form of genocide, hatred and greed. The ageing Patriarch reflected on his day with a warm cup of tea. His aide, Father Fredrick had left the day's newspaper by the coffee table in his modest room.

The news from Alaska was troubling. Beyond so. While Ignatius had a disdain for heathens never would he allow the toleration of what would only result in the murder of the innocent. "Fredrick?" he said softly. "Yes, your excellency?" The elderly but young in spirit priest responded. "Fetch my pen and telephone the Field Marshall. High alert."

Alaska was on the other side of the continent but the bitter reality of modern world is that it is rarely contained. Ignatius wondered how long this dastardly regime would remain stable. He prayed it would burn out like its predecessor - before millions were killed. The Patriarch began to draft his public deceleration.

Meanwhile, at Fort Saint Michael, Field Marshall Gregory ordered all air and ground assets to be ready for orders.

[center] Announcement From His Excellency The Patriarch of Domina Nostra Nova Terra [/center]

With a heavy heart, I most openly condemn the statements made by the self proclaimed leader of the National American Socialists.

North America has known peace for many years and despots must not be allowed to disturb it. I call on all the faithful Catholics and the entire world to join me in expressing our condemnation of this rogue state and to offer what help we can to those fleeing it.

I extend my hand in welcome: to any facing persecution from this rogue state to find refuge in Our Lady's Land.

In Christ's Name,
His Excellency, Patriarch Ignatius IV of The Mostly Holy Patriarchate of Domina Nostra Nova Terra, Loyal Servant of The Holy Father.

[Kenmoria]

The weapons sent to Madossa were purchased from a company known as Ares, a private military firm that specialised in sending small groupings of soldiers in tactical missions abroad. They had been contacted and, with immediate alacrity, sent a collection of aerial vehicles for the purpose of helping with an assault on Alaska. Admittedly, the prospect did look tempting. There was a lot of oil in that region, and a lot of people who would be ready and willing to work for the company for comparatively low prices. From a corporate point of view, the best thing about the NAS situation was how many people would be willing to do anything to escape the danger,

Greetings all from around the world,

As we’re sure you know, the pariah state of the National American Socialists, recently lead by a new pseudo-fascist leader, has been levelling threats against many groups and in ideals across the globe. In particular, we want to draw attention to the ongoing anti-Semitisn in the regime. In Kenmoria, Judaism is the second-largest religion, so we care about the lives of those who may be affected by the blatant bigotry of the country.

We are fully aware at Ares of the consternation that the actions of the National American Socialists have caused to the international community, as a result of their morally questionable policies. Therefore, we propose a solution. Here from our Kenmorian office, you will be able to purchase the finest of tactical squads, ready to hinder the progress of populism across that nation, and generally be a thorn in Mark Shining’s side. For low prices, your nation can have a part in ensuring the safety of oppressed groups everywhere.



Yours sincerely,
Ares

Imperial Palace

The view from the Furher's office was one of organization. Through the glass wall, a large screen showing troop deployment, and below that, rows of desks as people were busy organizing all sorts of things.

Mark smiled. Finally, it could begin. Moments later, there was a knock on the office door, followed by three people. The woman of the group spoke first.

"Here are the results of your approval rating. Sadly it's a little low at 84%"

Mark nodded.

"Thank you Helen, have the party members go around to drum up more support and persuade people that the country is in safe hands"

The woman nodded, and left. Next, the man who had been next to her spoke.

"Here are the troop reports. 98% of units are in their defensive positions. The remainder are having supply issues, but that should be sorted in a few days"

Mark smiled.

"Excellent work Jonathan, we are on track then for Operation Bait?"

Jonathan smiled back.

"Yes sir, multiple nations are already reading themselves to fight us. However, there is no evidence of us doing anything wrong outside of what the WA term 'hate speech'. If they attack first, which they likely will, they will be the aggressors, and we can use that to our advantage"

Mark chuckled.

"Interesting that they see us as the hateful ones, when the Zionists, of which there are many in the WA, conduct hateful attacks against anyone who stand in the way of their global agenda. Anyway, I'll let you get back to work. I hear good things from your experimental technology department"

Jonathan nodded, then also left. Then the remaining man handed the message from Ares to Mark.

"They are offering troops to fight alongside them, if we are willing to pay"

Mark rubbed his hands with glee.

"Perfect, I'll get to writing a response straight away Arthur. These troops will be perfect for our front lines"

Arthur was puzzled.

"But my Furher, our own troops are superior in every way"

Mark gave him a look of disappointment.

"And you think they should be the first to die in this war? Better to have the capitalist pigs fight each other to death then risk the lives of our own brave soldiers"

Arthur wouldn't let it go.

"But sir..."

He was interrupted by Mark.

"But, it's been a long day. Go home Arthur, get some rest. Then maybe, after thinking it through, you'll realize it's best not to correct your enemy when they make a mistake, and take advantage of it"

Arthur nodded.

"Of course sir, sorry sir"

Mark smiled.

"No need to apologize, I understand. Just rest, I'll handle things from here"

Arthur nodded, surprised at how calm Mark was over the situation, and left, thinking nothing more of it. Now, on his own, Mark got out a pen and paper, and began to write. He preferred writing it this way first and then having it scanned onto a machine to be transmitted, it felt more personal that way.

Dear Ares,
It is good to know we have allies for the cause against the Zionists. I also understand the need for reimbursement for your services, your troops will be on the frontlines. The money will be wired to your account as soon as possible, then you can begin sending your forces. The first step in any alliance is trust, and I hope my trust will not go to waste.

Together, we shall let the Jews know we will not be snuffed out by them. Good luck to your forces, and have a safe journey here.

[Pere Housh Alpha]

Standing on the balcony that is attached to her office, Queen Sophia the Third watches the sun set on New Sydney. Hearing someone walk into her office, she speaks without turning around, "Yes, what is it?"

Her aide answered, "Your Majesty, I have that Intelligence report on the NAS. I will it on your desk." The aide leaves the report on Sophia's desk and walks out.

Sophia walks over to her desk and picks up the report. She reads it thoughly before scowling. Just what need, another Hitler. she thought. She pushes the intercom button to get personal secretary, "Miss Thomas, get me the Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs immediately."

Miss Thomas answered immediately, "Right away, Your Majesty."

30 minutes later

Both Ministers walk into the Queen's office and stood quietly.

Sophia turned around to face her Ministers before saying, "Thank you ladies for being here. We have a serious problem brewing in America."

Minister of Defence Maggie Donoghue ask her queen a question, " What seems to be the problem, Your Majesty."

The queen answers the question, "Fascism has reared it ugly head and according to this report, they are going the same path as Hitler. We will accept any and all Jew into our country and protect them."

To Mark Shining

The Australian Queendom of Pere Housh Alpha condemns your comments about the Jews. If any Jewish person is harmed by your government, their will be serious consequences. We will not have a repeat of the Holocaust, not if this government has anything to say about it.

[Kenmoria]

The response from the American Nationalist Socialists was a cause of joy for Ares, insofar as it meant that new money would be coming in, and hopefully rather quickly. If there was one good thing about these racists, it was that they were rich racists, which in Kenmoria meant that any discrimination held little importance. Although moderate public relations damage could occur, that would hardly matter in the grand scheme of things. For the moment, nothing concrete had actually been pinned on the NAS, and no transnational aggression had been enacted. For that reason, any criticism of the corporation could be quickly defeated with an argument based on the presumption of innocence.

In addition, it was always a policy to prioritise immediate cash quickly wired to an account over possible losses, especially where these costs could never materialise. A response was quickly prepared and sent to the leader of that nation, Mark Shining, detailing the forces that would be sent by the corporation over to further the cause of anti-semitism. With any luck, nobody else would come forward with offers of money. Were that to occur, it could cause a logistical nightmare, although there would always be the benefit of having two sources of income between which to choose.

Zionists, was the label used to describe the enemies of the pseudo-Nazi nation. With that in mind, that would be the response employed with the troops. They were not killing Jews, they were combating terrorists Zionists. No synagogues were being burned, holes of extremists were being cleared. These were not death camps, they were centres for de-radicalisation. The latter had not yet happened, but very well could in the near future. To any other company, this could have been a moral quandary. To Ares, this was the perfect opportunity to make some blood money.

Dear Mark Shining,

Thank for accepting our troops; we know it will mean a lot to them to be fighting for such a determined and powerful nation. In response to the payment, we have sent soldiers from a central base in Kenmoria to the National American Socialists via sea, to avoid detection. These should be with you in a span of approximately three days, during which they will be familiarising themselves with your military doctrine and, of course, the enemy Zionists.

In total, the soldiers themselves should number about one and a half thousand, and an additional amount one-third the quantity of the fighters will be made up of support staff such as medical and infrastructure. This produces a combined total of two thousand. In the event that other nations, such as the recently aggressive Pere Housh Alpha, engage, we can launch offensive incursions. For the moment, however, these men and women should be sufficient.

Yours sincerely,
Ares

[Snofjogur]

Representative Karl Ólsson's residence, Reykjavík, Nordland

Karl Ólsson sighed as he skimmed over the news on his computer. He had seen the United States grow increasingly xenophobic since his youth, and he remembered his schoolteachers saying this had been a trend since the 2010s. It was only a matter of time, he had always suspected, before some extremist pothead gained enough of a following to actually constitute a threat to humanity in that strange corner of the world. He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

No doubt someone would bring it up at the Þing today. He and the other six representatives of the Sector of Foreign Affairs would have to draft policies to take in the event that Shining and his flock gained significant power. Nordland was an anti-interventionist country, and direct confrontation was not going to happen, but resources might have to be put aside for foreign aid, and everyone knew the colony on Mars, being at the critical stage it was at, was already sucking up enough of those. But, he supposed, the Alaskans needed it more than the Nordlanders. Those poor bastards had suffered enough from the floods caused by the rising sea level. It was easy to forget not all nations were as small and manageable as Nordland, not all governments had the integrity the Nordlander Þing, not all social workers were as efficient as the Nordlander ones; with corruption rampant across the Atlantic and such vast distances to cover, not all cities and towns in Alaska had built coastal walls quickly enough to prevent mass flooding, damage to infrastructure and loss of life.

He supposed he understood the Alaskans, in a way, given what they were going through. Not that any properly educated adult in Nordland would let their brain be washed by a crackpot dictator-wannabe, but, again, not everyone in the new world had received such an education, especially in Alaska. With climate change wreaking havoc across their state and indeed their entire country, those people needed something to believe in, and Mr Shining had promptly and efficiently provided it. Too bad those beliefs were going to cause so much suffering.

Finishing his morning coffee, he waved a hand over his kitchen table, and the holographic screen with its sodium-yellow text and colourful pictures of Alaskan mobs collapsed into thin air. He rose, placed his computer —a black dumpling-shaped object that could fit in his closed hand but contained highly accurate proximity, gesture and voice sensors— in his pocket and prepared to head to the Þing, the Nordlander Parliament, for the day's work.

[EastKekistan]

In the East Kekistani base of Shori (勝利, victory) on Marshall Islands in the Colony of South Pacific East Kekistani leaders sat in a meeting room, discussing the mess in Alaska.

"What's going on in Alaska is not inherently related to us. However if Alaskans actually begins to simply kill random Jews Israel isn't going to allow that. More importantly both white Natsocs and Jews have nukes and who knows what other WMDs. Are these guys going to cause a global genocidal WWIII?" said Governor Ming Zhang of the Colony of South Pacific.

"That's bad enough. What's even worse is that some zealots are probably going to start a preemptive strike on Alaska. In particular Domina Nostra Nova Terra is already on the move according to our intelligence operatives in Saint Dismas.", said Aikawa Takahashi, the Chief of the East Kekistani Intelligence Agency (EKIA).

"Sigh. What about Israelis and their enemies, the Islamic Republic of Iran? Are they also involved?" asked President Rang Chi-Hun of (the post-Kim, democratic) North Korea.

"Probably. Mossad is probably already watching Alaska now. We don't have any evidence though." replied Mr. Takahashi.

*****

The meeting continued for 3 more hours. The East Kekistani leadership decided to not support either side for now. Meanwhile the EKIA was going to continue to closely monitor the situation. Our national interests lied in both sides calming down and not escalating the situation for nobody can afford a full-scale global race war.

A body washed up on the beach, bloated and clearly being dead for a while, cold and stiff, it's short dark hair ragged.

But, what was unknown, was who poisoned his food, and why?

Mark was reading something when his new advisor walked in.

"Sir, do you have a minute?"

Mark smiled.

"Of course Jeremy, I was just enjoying the latest messages from other leaders. They seem to think we can't get our supplies from elsewhere. Anyway, I'm guessing you didn't come to see me over these messages, how goes the investigation?"

Jeremy smiled.

"We have our man, or should I say, our woman, who murdered your previous advisor. A team is getting in position to extract her and bring her to justice. How do you wish her to be punished sir?"

Mark cracked his knuckles.

"I think a public display is in order, so people know we are serious about this matter"

Jeremy nodded.

"Of course sir, I'll make the arrangements. Would you like to watch in person or do you want the television brought in here?"

Mark sighed a little.

"I do wish i had the time to go in person, but I have far too much work to do at the moment. I'm sure you can handle it"

Jeremy nodded again.

"Of course sir, thank you for trusting me sir"

Mark himself nodded, and Jeremy left the room.

[The Democratic Soviet Union]

Kremlin
04:36 Hours
Moscow, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The Central Committee of the Communist Party was assembling. This was the gathering of all the most powerful people in the union. The Premier, the chief of the KGB, the Minister for Defense, and others. The Premier and General Secretary of the Communist Party, Kirill Ruslanov, had convened the committee for an early morning meeting, an unusual action for him to take, and one reserved only for dire times. The Premier stood at the window of his office in the Kremlin, watching the black, government-issued cars of his ministers arriving.

All assembled in the meeting room, the Premier laid out his agenda for the morning.

"Comrades, a crisis has emerged to our eastern flank. A madman has taken power in Alaska, this 'Mark Shining'. He espouses the same kind of alarming rhetoric as we saw from Hitler over a hundred years ago. Though his ranting and condemning is confined to the Jewish community for now, there is no doubt that in the future he will redirect his ire toward Communist the world over, as is always the case with fascists. So we need to deal with this crisis, swiftly and without remorse. My generals have already drawn up plans for a military strike, but I need something better. Thoughts?"

The Economy Minister spoke up, "Comrade Ruslanov, why are you looking for another idea? Wouldn't a first strike be justified and the most effective means at removing this threat?"

"Comrade Illyushin, while I share your feeling, we cannot strike first because this regime has done little to justify such an action. It is merely the professional opinion of myself and my political advisors that if we are to prevent a second Hitler, we must neutralize this threat now while it is small. But if we attack first, the international community will see us as the aggressor and join in league with this fascist pariah in force against us and against communism." Ruslanov replied.

The Interior Minister then chimed in, "We've had this situation a lot before. Throughout the Cold War, fascists and capitalists teamed up against us, the Communists. In World War II, communists and capitalists teamed up against the fascists. In 1939, communists and fascists teamed up against the capitalists. History has shown that when two of the ideologies join forces against the third, those two usually win, just as you suggest the capitalists and fascists could do to us. Therefore, I propose we seek a non-aggression pact with this fascists movement in Alaska so as to redirect their fury towards capitalists and capitalists only, and then keep them as far away from Russia as possible."

Ruslanov thought for a moment. "That didn't go too well in 1941, but Mark Shining inst literally Hitler, and Alaska isnt Germany, not by a long way. And if they do attack first, we'll be on the right side of history. Okay, we'll pursue that course. Thank you everyone, you're dismissed. Get me my secretary! I need to begin drafting a message."

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics “Workers of the World, Unite!” Date: 2050's To: Führer Mark Shining Encryption: Very High Your excellency Führer Mark Shining of the National American Socialists, The Soviet Union is in recognition of the fact that our two societies and governments do not see eye to eye on much. There is however one great matter that unites us: the crusade against the capitalist hordes which subdue and oppress the pure and proud people of the world. The Soviet Union recognizes that the capitalist classes, particularly those of one distinct heritage persuasion, have enacted policies which have caused grievances to your people. For that, no punishment is too great for their crimes. That recognition established, our government believes it to be far outside both of our interests to be at odds in the current geopolitical climate. Though our ideologies have historically clashed, I desire to put those times behind us as we are united in a struggle against capitalism and for the ascent of the masses, upon the backs of whom civilized society has been constructed. Let us then put our differences aside in this time and enact a policy of non-aggression between our peoples so that in the upcoming time of strife, our societies need not fear one another, but instead see in one another a geopolitical friend who can be relied upon to never worsen the position of the other. It is therefore that I propose we begin with a non-aggression pact to last no less than 5 years, able to be renewed, extended, or otherwise further built upon to prevent the clashing of our respective peoples in war. - Premier Kirill Ruslanov Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

[Enugu League]

Udene Hotel, Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria

A group of the most prominent business people were sitting in the top security conference room, Room 1014. Ms. Jessica Udene, the owner of the hotel, showed up and closed the door. She smiled at the president of the EL, Dr. Joseph Ijeawele, owner of the Ijeawele Group.

Dr. Ijeawele then announced that the meeting had begun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a new and really obnoxious regime in Anchorage, Alaska." said Dr. Ijeawele. "There is a certain Mark Shining who has taken over Alaska and has established a Neo-Nazi regime. I'm very concerned that they will attempt to exterminate people they consider evil or inferior such as Africans."

"We must stop them now." said Jessica Udene.

"How? We aren't even remotely close to the Americas." said the banker Sam Abanigbe.

"Sam, we can't defeat them on our own alone. However we can certainly ask for help. For example we can try to get some anti-Nazi Western country such as Significance to arm Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Then we will send the troops to Alaska as a part of an international coalition to crush these Nazis." answered Jessica.

"That's feasible. However what's the point of that? Preemptively stop a genocide or what?" Asked Jane Onochie, the owner of OnochieShip.

Jessica smiled and said to her, "What do we need the most now?"

Jane Onochie thought for a while and said, "Kick these East Kekistani bastards, I mean businesses, out of Africa so that we don't have to compete with them?"

Jessica smiled again and said, "Yes. We can just claim that EK and NAS are secret allies and that both are highly racist regimes hellbent on exterminating disadvantaged peoples on this planet, especially all Africans."

Joshua Maduka was worried and asked her: "However there is really no evidence of any East Kekistani racism for now other than its closed borders policy outside Singapore. Singapore has a meritocratic immigration system."

"Didn't they occupy a few Pacific Islands following pogroms against East Kekistanis? That's neo-colonialism. Moreover meritocratic immigration systems are inherently biased towards whites, NE Asians and Indians and biased against Africans.." answered Jessica.

"Fine. I don't like East Kekistan much either because I don't want Baowu, Nippon Steel and POSCO competing with my father's Jos Steel Group. In fact these fucking East Kekistani companies are already harming my family business. Anyway the topic of this EL meeting is NAS, not East Kekistan." said Joshua Maduka.

Jessica smiled and said, "Sure. I think we should contact anti-NAS countries right now."

The EL then began to vote. 78 voted for war against NAS, only 13 voted against it. Joseph Ijeawele declared the meeting over and told an aide to contact President Emily Adeyemi now.

Nordlander Þing, Reykjavík, Nordland

Karl took his usual seat in the meeting room of the Sector of Foreign Affairs, the one closest to the window. Two other representatives had already arrived, and he greeted them with the professional cordiality they were all accustomed to. The three exchanged pleasantries while they waited for the others to arrive. It would not occur for another six minutes; he had arrived early, as usual.

The digits on the clock on the wall changed from 08.59 to 09.00 just as the last representative, Tomas Haraldsson, walked in. The meeting promptly began.

“I’d like us to begin by discussing the developing events in the United States,” began Representative Ursula Berger. “I’m sure you have all seen the news, but in case you haven’t here’s a quick summary: one Mr Mark Shining has formed a group called the National American Socialists, taken control of the state of Alaska and made some declarations frighteningly similar to the ones Adolf Hitler made a hundred and twenty years ago.” There was a gasp from someone in the room as she said this, but most of them had indeed seen the news. Ursula made an expanding gesture with her right hand above the small black dumpling at the centre of the heptagonal table, the Sector’s computer, and seven mutually synchronised screens popped into existence, one in front of each representative. She made another quick gesture to initiate the computer’s voice recognition system and repeated the name Mark Shining. Images, maps and news articles promptly appeared in the screens, and Ursula zoomed in in one of the pictures of the man and placed a map of Alaska next to it, all with rapid, professional gestures with her hands and arms. “The question is what to do about this.”

“Nothing,” said Tomas, “at least for now. The man has done nothing yet; until he does, his words are hollow. He poses no threat to us.”

“He poses a threat to the United States, though,” Karl remarked. “And potentially to the world if he follows in the steps of his Austrian predecessor.”

The meeting continued for another two hours, opinions and ideas being thrown back and forth. Ultimately, a plan of action was decided on and was put to vote. It passed six votes to one, with Tomas providing the only vote against.

A strongly worded but civil statement was publicly released. At the next World Assembly Security Council meeting, Nordland would condemn the National American Socialists. Meanwhile, the nation would prepare seceral different foreign-aid plans for the most likely scenarios. A number of electric planes, each capable of performing a round trip to the northern half of mainland United States on a full battery, was set aside for this purpose, but care was taken not to sacrifice resources or infrastructure destined to helping the colony on Mars.

All that remained was to wait and see how far Mr Shining took his insanity. The meeting, meanwhile, moved onto other topics, including the European climate-refugee situation and the recent condemnation of Nordland’s prohibitive immigration laws by the international community.

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Image) “Workers of the World, Unite!” Date: 2050's To: Führer Mark Shining Encryption: Very High Your excellency Führer Mark Shining of the National American Socialists, The Soviet Union is in recognition of the fact that our two societies and governments do not see eye to eye on much. There is however one great matter that unites us: the crusade against the capitalist hordes which subdue and oppress the pure and proud people of the world. The Soviet Union recognizes that the capitalist classes, particularly those of one distinct heritage persuasion, have enacted policies which have caused grievances to your people. For that, no punishment is too great for their crimes. That recognition established, our government believes it to be far outside both of our interests to be at odds in the current geopolitical climate. Though our ideologies have historically clashed, I desire to put those times behind us as we are united in a struggle against capitalism and for the ascent of the masses, upon the backs of whom civilized society has been constructed. Let us then put our differences aside in this time and enact a policy of non-aggression between our peoples so that in the upcoming time of strife, our societies need not fear one another, but instead see in one another a geopolitical friend who can be relied upon to never worsen the position of the other. It is therefore that I propose we begin with a non-aggression pact to last no less than 5 years, able to be renewed, extended, or otherwise further built upon to prevent the clashing of our respective peoples in war. - Premier Kirill Ruslanov Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

National American Socialists Date: 2050's To: Premier Kirill Rusanlov Encryption: Very High Your excellence Premier Kirill Rusanlov of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics, It is nice to finally see someone who is also not afraid of those who are trying to oppress of. While I understand history has made you wary of nations like ours, I hope you believe me when I say war is a last resort. I am not out to destroy nations, but to unite the people of this earth against our true enemies. But, of course the capitalist pigs, with their Jewish leaders, and their armies of tricked soldiers whose only job is to die, while the Jews and their closest associates sit back and watch, don't want people to be truly free like you and I want, and so we will be forced to fight. It is my belief therefore, that you have two options. Side with the Jews out of fear of the past, and end up being destroyed by them, or side with us, and together, with you on the west, and us on the east, we can rid this world of the elitist menace, and bring about a world that works for the majority. So, what is it to be? - Fuhrer Mark Shining National American Socialists

Joshua Maduka arrived at Los Angeles to execute the top secret operation from EL, Operation Nwamba. He walked into a bar and began to seduce random girls. His plan was to get some girls to be his agents to forge evidence that East Kekistan was a secret ally of NAS without revealing the fact that the Enugu League existed, let alone the fact that it was involved in the conflict.

Daughter of a prominent banker, Rebecca Anozie arrived at New Sydney ostensibly in order to expand her father's Silver Bank to Oceania. Of course she wasn't there for business. Instead she was there to meet with officials of Pere Housh Alpha to discuss the issue of Nigerians taking part in some peacekeeping mission to oust Mark Shining.

Abuja, Nigeria

President Adeyemi hadn't officially condemned NAS yet for many people in the Hausa and Fulani North actually like NAS because they really hated Jews. However she secretly ordered at least one non-Muslim senior member in Nigerian embassies in anti-NAS nations to reach out to their respective governments. Nigeria will send troops if possible. EL will of course use the media we control to try to persuade all of Nigeria to hate NAS. However if Muslims are pissed off too much then we have to send a volunteer army instead. That can also be done.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Jessica Sullivan was sits in her office going through when one of her deputies walked in,"Minister Sullivan, a representative from the Nigerian government wants to see you. She says it is urgent and has to do with the NAS."

Jessica looked surprised before saying, "Please send her in immediately."

The deputy minister walks up to the Nigerian woman and says, "Ma'am, Minister Sullivan will see you now. If you will follow me, I will take you to her office." She waves to the woman to follow her.

[Kenmoria]

After the period of travelling had elapsed, the carriers of Ares soldiers arrived onto the shores of NAS, in a run-down location at the West side of the nation, towards the Eurasian landmass. One by one, highly-drilled soldiers leapt out of the carrier and came down with a thud on harsh, cold sand. They arrived from a long journey, and now were ready for action and bloodshed. There wasn’t a need to send a missive from Ares to the National American Socialists, for the soldiers arriving would most likely be rather obvious by itself, without the need for any particular declaration. Commanding the platoon was a stern-faced lady called Madame Giselle, who had been told to conduct intelligence operations on the nation, as well as obey their commands.

Back in Kenmoria, the number of nations that were condemning the NAS was seen as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it meant that any conflict would spread and potentially involve most of the world. However, on the other, any actual condemnations from the Western European country would fade into the background without much notice. It was likely that the WA Mission could start to move towards denouncing the NAS, though it could take a while.

“I can’t believe this.” Premier Ruslanov said, pounding his fist on his desk in front of his Foreign Minister. “They’ve grabbed us by the balls. We’re on the spot now. This madman says we’re either with them or against them.”

“It seems that there may be no playing both sides this time Comrade.” Foreign Minister Potemkin said.

“There must be a way, there must be somehow we can pacify these Nazis without provoking the start of a war or without incurring the international backlash.” Ruslanov said as he paced around his desk.

“Perhaps we should just avoid siding with them outright. After all, it is just Alaska. Barring oil wealth, they’re not that strong.” Minister Potemkin stated.

Ruslanov thought for a moment, unable to ultimately commit. But then he considered the possibilities, and an idea came to him. “Begin writing up a response Minister.”

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics “Workers of the World, Unite!” Date: 2050's To: Führer Mark Shining Encryption: Very High Your excellency Führer Mark Shining of the National American Socialists, It is no secret that the international community is gearing up against your new nation. From talk of a WA condemnation to the gathering of forces to prepare for war, there is little evidence to believe that conflict will remain a last resort. As such, the Soviet Union is greatly concerned about conflict in the North Pacific Region as it is vital to Soviet trade that any hostilities there strictly avoid the involvement of Russia. Though we share much of your ire towards the international community and the globalist, wealthy class, the USSR maintains a responsibility on the international stage to not instigate conflict. Our country has a lot to lose to the possibility of a Western European coalition against us. It is therefore that I say, the Soviet Union cannot fall into league with your nation, at least not right now. I implore you sir, accept our offer of non-aggression so that neither of our governments or our people will fear the other. There is nothing to say this relationship can not change in the future, but we both must exercise restraint, as the international stage has changed significantly in this century. - Premier Kirill Ruslanov Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Nordlander Þing, Reykjavík, Nordland

Ambassador Idowu Okereke walked into the ambassadorial meeting room at the parliament building in Reykjavík. It had been two days since the representatives of the Sector of Foreign Affairs had voted to prepare foreign air for civilian casualties in North America, and now many of the world's developed nations were bracing for a potential war against Alaska. War was always a nasty affair, but, with most of the developed world set against the rising neofascists, the general consensus among the Nordlander population seemed to be that this war, if it broke out, would not be fought on European soil, including Nordland.

Already Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, ever Nordland's closest friends, had pledged to send troops to neutralise any threats to the Nordic nations, so there was an air of aloofness, even smug comfort, about the small northern island-nation. Now Nigeria, an unlikely ally in a much-neglected corner of the world, had added its lot to this pledge. A short briefing had been sent to the representatives, but here was the meeting to formalise the affair.

"Good morning, Ambassador Okereke," said one of the representatives. "Please take a seat." Their seats, along with an empty chair waiting for the ambassador, were arranged about an octagonal table. The room had been carefully designed to make foreign ambassadors feel like equals among their peers despite the fact that they were one and the local diplomats were seven. It created an atmosphere of trust and comfort, something the young nation was well known for and some thing many ambassadors saw as good compensation for the fact that, by law, there was no such thing as diplomatic immunity in Nordland.

"Thank you, Representative Berger," the ambassador, a man in his fifties, said warmly as he joined the representatives. "Bawo ni! Shall we begin?" He made himself comfortable in his chair as the representatives nodded greetings at him. "As you know, Nigeria stands against the National American Socialists. In the event that there is a war, and in the event that the war reaches Europe before it reaches Africa, we are prepared to send troops to fight in Europe. It is out duty to protect those who live in harmony with the world and with Nigeria."

"Thank you, ambassador," Karl said. "Let us hope it doesn't come to that. As you know, Nordland has no army, but we appreciate that in times of crisis a deterrent can be a fortunate thing to have. Hopefully the international response to the Alaskan uprising will be deterrent enough against war."

"We are aware of Nigeria's current climate-related agricultural problems," representative Ravna Schneider said. Nigeria's agriculture, as well as food production across the globe, had suffered the effects of global warming and violent weather swings in recent years. "Scandinavia is uniquely immune to these problems by virtue of not having an agricultural industry. As a gesture of good will between our peoples and to strengthen our friendship in these times of trouble and in the long-term future, we offer not only to increase food exports to Nigeria in the next few months, but also to build vitrogrow laboratories across Nigeria, that you may forever cease to depend on agriculture and, eventually, on imports from our nation." The seven representatives, together with the Sector of Science & Technology, had agreed on this earlier today. The eventual cessation of vitrogrow products to Nigeria would be a small dent in the Nordlander economy, but in the current political climate the political benefits would far outweigh the economic sacrifice.

Berlin

Chancellor Karl von Schleicher was reading over the news. Information about a new movement in North America, one of national-socialist character, plastered the front page. Sipping his tea, he thought how it would be essential for Germany and her people to take a stand against this sort of movement. He took out a pen and began drafting an address to his people and to the international community.

Statement of the Office of Reich Chancellor

---

Citizens of the Kaiserreich,

It is at the will of her majesty, Empress Victoria II, and of my government, that this new international crisis be addressed. Let it firstly be assured to all Germans that this government firmly denounces the ideology, policies, and actions of National Socialism and any state which may subscribe to that ideology. This nation remains committed in its crusade against political extremism and any movement which would seek to strip the basic human rights of any group of people. It is therefore that this government firmly condemns the actions of the National American Socialists and a policy of economic sanction will be implemented in this nation. No German company or business is to interact with this nation, any member of its government, or any of the businesses that operate inside of it.

Secondly, the German Empire remains committed to its goal of preserving peace in the modern world, and all means shall be exhausted to assure that this time of peace for Germany and for Europe shall not be undermined. However, any policy of containment enacted by the World Assembly shall have the full political, economic, and material support of the German Empire. Barring that occurrence, Germany will not pursue a policy of armed conflict or regime change in a nation half-way around the world.

Thank you,
-Chancellor Karl von Schleicher

"...I've heard of a white ethnostate, but that's just taking it too far. I mean, couldn't they of just set it up somewhere like, say...the middle east?"

"Comrade Daniel, it is not like they could of moved entire nation there. It's a national movement. The only place where they are willing to create state is in the homeland."

"I understand what you're saying, but Alaska? Why would anyone want to "save the white race" or what ever these guys keep rattling on about in a literal tundra?"

"But you must remember that not only is the state relatively urbanized, but also that things have heated up recently in more than just one way."

"Well, I mean I would probably support a regime like that if my country had been wrecked by climate change."

"Fortunately we prepared for such a catastrophe...the Americans did not."

"Well, it's not like they're much of a threat anyway."

"That is what people said about Germany back in the 1930s. Everyone knows what came after."

"Come on, just because they follow the same ideology and are coming from an underdog position doesn't mean th-"

At that moment, a nearby console began to emit a persistent but only mildly disturbing alarm.

"Zivko, look! It's a message."

"It can not be a resupply notice as we were visted only 2 days ago, nor could it be telling us that one of our ships is returning because all of them are docked bar one, and even then the YSNC Astraeus only departed a week ago."

"Then if it's not a ship notification..."

Daniel moved over to the console, made much easier with an artifical gravity environment being present.

"...It must be from..."

As he manoeuvred his fingers around the holographic keyboard, the screen became dominated by a large, black square with dark blue lettering.

"...the government." the other man added.

"Zivko. It says..."

Seoul, Confederation of Infependent Villages of Joseon(or Joseonville)

A small teenage messenger ran into the Joseon Chancellacy.

"Chancellor Jason! We have some important news from the National American Socialists!"

Chancellor Jason woke up from a nap.

"Whu-wut?"

You couldn't blame him. He recently had to study a bunch of facts about plant growing(because of a crop infection), stop a fued between some rival villages, and make some speeches.

"Sir, look at this speech! And would you like me to bring some coffee?"

"Oh..hmmm, and yes, please get me some coffee."

He read the speech, and for the first few sentences, it was just jokes and all that.

Then he read the second paragraph, and his eye widened.

Another Nazi nation. Not only this meant oppression of Jews and maybe another Holocaust, but this also meant a risk of another world war happening.

The messenger brought him his coffee, and he quietly started thinking while sipping his coffee...

Seoul, Joseon, and a few minutes later

Jason had sent a message to all Village/Commune leader in Jasonville. Since they couldn't really meet in an instant, he would just have to send this question to them.

Should the Confederation do something about this?

Soon, replies were coming back. Each village leader had already discussed with their own communities, and it looked like the people of Joseon did not want to do anything with this at all.

At least publicly.

It would be much more smarter to hide Joseon's intentions, and attack this new facsist state secretly. Joseon would be neutral in public, and in war in secret. Joseon was dedicated to isolationism and neutrality, but it was heavily Christian and could not ignore this threat to Freedom.

Many nations had bullied Joseon and thought that it was weak.

This time, however, this Nazi dictator wouldn't see where it got hit from.

New Canter has risen from Mongolia, a country stricken with poverty.
After investing the rest of new canter's money into mining uranium found in a nearby rain forest, Jackson Feud has risen the country out of poverty and has become the leader.


A butler is making breakfast for Mr. feud when the message broke loose



"Breaking News!,Mark Shining is about to give his speech at the senate building."

As the butler listened to the news Mr. Feud came downstairs.


"Sir, you need to hear this."


Mr. Feud listened to the man's speech and was furious at what the man said.


"It was only a matter of time before someone did this." said Feud.


Feud knew that his country would not like the fact of going to war, But he also knew that his people would see that this jew-hater would need to be taken down,or he might threaten the lives of New Canter's people.


The anchor continued telling how no other country was allying itself with the American Socialists.


"It seems that no country wants to involve itself with the Hitler-lover."


After waiting for 2 hours to see if anymore news would roll in, Feud made his decision public on television.


"after thinking this decision over with members of government and military generals, i have decided to not be involved in this mess, until further notice."
