IC

The Ankedo Islands have been claimed by both Pohnei and Kergstan for decades until they ratified the Ankedo Peace Agreement in 1980 which guaranteed the designtion of Akani Island and Onapet Island as neutral territory in which the local Anakedai people numbering around 2.000 could practice their own traditions without any kind of interference.

The peace agreement though is set to end on June 15th 2020 as the agreement included a provision calling for a joint commission in order to outline a partition of the islands by 2018.

It was tried unsuccesfully on June 2018 and that's when the Kergstan authorities decided to build an artificial island comprising a runway and a small military base, 14 km south of the Ankedo Islands.

Pohneian authorities expressed disdain at Kergstan actions but due to the alleged relations between Kergstan's military and Pohnei's separatist movements, Pohnei's far weaker military and economic power they haven't escalated the situation further but have asked for international support against the alleged illegal actions of Kergstan.

The Ankedo Island are located 600 km from the southernmost tip of Kergstan and around 450 km from the northernmost point of Pohnei.
They're covered in lush rain forests and have white beaches.

The islands don't have any particular economic finance other than the rich fishing waters.

How will YN react to those events? Call for peace, support a side, offer help of any kind?
Uncertainty is the word, everything could end peacefully or be just the start of a large-scale war.

OOC:

Hello

This RP looks interesting. Are you happy for me to try to annex the islands.

If not, I'll probably support Pohnei.

OOC: I was about to say the same thing re-annexing myself lmao, do let us know
Thanks

A moderately-sized detachment of the Dominant Oppressorian Fleet approaches the islands, their mission-directive as of yet unknown to outsiders

I'd rather like this to be a RP of diplomacy, cunning statements, petty skirmishes, fishermen harassment..
A chill RP who tries to alternatively simulate the situation in the South China Sea.

If i ever find someone interested i'm gonna start the IC post.

So, like the Cod Wars?
I’d probably be down for that too

Basically something like that

Did I hear someone mention the North Natuna Sea? Haha, just kidding. This seems interesting, count me in, mate!

Can I join

Sharifistan decides to intervene and claims the island in dispute.
Sultan Suleiman Khan says "If they squabble like babies I can take their toys".
10 patrol boats and one aircraft carrier are sent towards the island.

OOC: Where is the approximate RL location? I need to know this to decide if we will intervene. My actual location is in my factbook.

OOC: Me and Imp. Gatorland both tried to claim the islands and he basically said not to, maybe he wont say anything but just a fair warning (if he allows it consider my claim back on btw )

Texas extremely concerned about all that is happening send 1 aircraft carrier and 4 corvettes with 500 marines

Guys that's not the actual IC post as i need to know your positioning (Pro-Kergstan, Pro-Pohnei, Neutral)

I remind you that this is a petty fight so no need to bring hundreds of destroyers or things of that kind.
Let me know which side you'll support and i'll approve most of you.

Can I support the natives and try to help them establish a country

Imagine the position to be around Oceania, north of Australia.

You can but natives don't have any kind of modern standing army or organization.
They're wary of foreigners in general, you have to find a way to get their acceptance first with some gesture.

I have boxes that speak!

And sticks that shoot fire

For the moment Imperial Gatorland and The republic ofTexas and northern Mexico are approved, others let me know your positioning (Pro-Kergstan, Pohnei or neutral)

IC Thread : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=486825

I'll apply as a neutral. I'll send navy ships to escort my cargo ships because we need to secure trade routes.

Nacrad is approved

In that case, mark me as neutral but if something happens that makes me want to support one side I will later, if that's ok,
thank you!

Have a referendum held, to determine whether the residents wish for Kergstan or Pohnei sovereignty, or to become independent.

Perfect. Not too far away from Majapahit, then.

Also, Pohnei seems suspiciously similar to Indonesia, based on the wiki. Majapahit shall stand on Pohnei's side in this conflict, though we probably wouldn't immediately send any military forces there if we can keep the conflict from escalating.
