[South Americanastan]

Northeastern Armory Plant D8ES1, Windhoek, South Americanastanian Africa

Frank carried another box of machined SARs into the storage area, a walled off space on the side of the factory, surrounded in a metal wall topped with barbed wire. He laid the crate down on top of the others, glancing at the big black letters on its top.

SAR M76(m)
.308 Caliber

As he let go of the crate, a drop of sweat fell onto the crate's wood exterior, coloring a small area a dark brown. Frank wiped the sweat off his brow and began walking back inside to pick up another crate. He took a box of ammunition, and laid it next to the colossal stack of ammo boxes that had arisen, nearly reaching the barbed wire at the top of the steel walls. He dropped the box on the ground, and it's large, black letters almost glimmered in the sun.

.308 Caliber
M21A5 Full Metal Jacket, 130 Grain

The hot Namibian sun beat down onto Frank's matted brown hair and pale skin, as sweat streamed down his face. His once-white t-shirt had become saturated in a sea of gray, especially around the armpits. Frank dragged himself back inside, only to find no crates left.

"That's it, Kaminsky. Nothing left. 5,000 guns and 5 million rounds of ammo, all ready to be shipped out."

"Fucking finally, thank god."

"Now go wash up, you look like a hobo."

"Just what I was thinking, boss."

Frank hauled himself into the bathroom, and splashed some water on his face, washing away the accumulated dirt, dust and grime, along with the sweat that had made small streams through it. The water from the sink, once clear, had turned a greyish brown, and the sink itself had even accumulated some of the grime near the drain. Frank's t-shirt stuck to his body due to the sheer amount of sweat it had soaked into its cloth, and it was clear that the shirt was not saveable. Frank took off his t-shirt and tossed it into a garbage bin, choosing to work shirtless for the rest of the day.

"Hey, Frank! Since you've done all the dirty work, you want to do quality control, too?"

"Fuck yeah, man!"

Quality control, as boring as it sounded, was actually one of the most sought after jobs in the factory. It consisted of running 5 20-round mags through one gun from each batch (a "batch" consisted of 1,000 guns, but hand-made SARs were usually tested individually by the members of the SAR production lines, so getting to test one was a special occasion).

"Then go do it, man"

Frank walked back out into the storage area, taking one gun from each of the batch sections, and taking 5 mags from the corresponding batches of ammo (consisting of 1,000,000 rounds of ammo). He put each gun and 5 mags from its corresponding batch in its own box, carrying each box to the firing range one at a time.

Frank stuck a magazine from the first batch into a gun from the first batch, and chambered a round. He brought the rifle against his shoulder, aiming it downrange towards a target at 200 yards. He put one hand on the handguard, and the other on the pistol grip, with his index finger on the trigger. He took a deep breath, and pulled his index finger inwards.

krak.

The gun kicked into his shoulder as the bullet flew outwards, hitting the target right in the center torso. Frank fired again, hitting slightly to the right of the last bullet. He fired again, and again, and again, replacing his target with every magazine fired. He got in a rythym, fire 20 rounds, reload, fire 20 rounds, reload, fire 20 rounds, reload, fire 20 rounds, reload, fire 20 rounds, switch batches. Frank had almost forgot to stop by the time he was done. He took the stack of targets back inside, to show them too a Quality Control officer, who promptly approved it for shipping. Now just to wait for the buyer.

VICTORY! The Pacific is in our sight!

After months of brutal fighting in the pacific, the Oceanian Army has mange to come out victorious through attrition warfare managing to wipe out the Socialist fighters and anarchists and crippling the federal fighters to the point where they are not able to fight. after the fight, an airfield, OZP-11 battery and ICBM salvos will be constructed just like what the original purpose of what the Military plans were with these they would be in range of the Asian continent

[Gonswanza]

With the new year, new projects... Gonswanzans would see yet another rocket crawl for the sky, determined to push forwards plans to further Gonswanzan goals in space. Yet, once the cameras turn away, a secondary payload peels off the main rocket, disguised as a pair of boosters. These were intended to counteract any hostile satellites, though they soon find their targets and streak away, slamming into large chunks of space junk thanks to the lengths Gonswanza had gone to ensure an information blackout. Globally, hostilities have been rising, as Gonswanza continues to pull back and focus on the LATN (Latin-American Tunnel Network) project, perhaps as an "ark" of sorts, especially given the looming threat of a possible world-ending asteroid cruising by soon and the added (but more immediate) threat of a nuclear war. Regardless, the lunar base was still at peace, even as militarized rovers wander about, with Gonswanzan flags soon being posted around to mark off Gonswanzan territory... On the moon.

[Meretica]

In an unexpected turn of events, Mereticahas has once again gone entirely isolationist. No news is coming into or leaving the country whatsoever, though it has been confirmed that Senator Kefauver is now the president-elect. No statements have been released and it is unknown when this isolationist period will end.

Why the LDO is better then the GCN

The Daily Egg

Ok so we all know about the current tensions between the lame GCN and cool LDO. Not only are the founders different the members are as well. Firstly the founder of the GCN is Southeast Marajabia, A.K.A rampant slaver of the Galapagos. And the founder of the LDO is South Americanastan, a wonderful ally and liberator of many. Another difference between the two alliances is autonomy. The GCN wishes to destroy the world in nuclear hellfire and pave the way for evil egg to rise again while the LDO paves the way for democracy and the prevention of evil egg rising again. Now a very important difference is the drip of GCN and LDO members. I will proceed to show you two images showcasing the average drip of a person from the GCN and LDO.

Now with the photos you can see how LDO drip is clearly better then GCN a drip. GCN members people don’t have drip and can be considered dumb. Hopefully now you see how the LDO is better then the GCN.

-snib snab-

The state-controlled press of Gonswanza flat out blocks this article, not because it is (or was meant to be) satirical, but simply due to the fact that it seemed rather irrelevant and hence a horrid waste of resources... Per their words.

Of course, Gonswanza still refuses to jump into the Galapagos, ever since they pulled out of the proxy conflict. And it seems that things will stay that way, with the threat of nuclear war still looming overhead.

[Hantuonia]

Tensions are rising within Hantuonia!

Hantuonia is the home to three major ethnic groups, those being the Kakozians, Tybians, and Mortenians.
Tensions within Hantuonia began in the invasion and annexation of Kakozia in 2102, in the lands of what was once Kakozia is where civil unrest and violence are found more than any other place in Hantuonia.

Former Kakozia had been divided into 3 provinces (Kretka, Vosni, and New Rokai), border disputes between the three provinces as well as sparring between smaller ethnic groups within former Kakozia were and still are common. Insurgent groups within the three provinces began to form and eventually spread to other parts of Hantuonia, the growth of these groups is continuing and Hantuonia is suffering greatly.

Terrorist attacks and firefights are going on 24/7 between the Hantuonian Ground Forces and various insurgent groups. Ongoing conflicts and tensions ended in the kidnapping and eventually killing of Moshinov Vartzikia, the Hantuonian Secretary of Defense.

The recently appointed president Martin Martizov, part of his public statement was "I send my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Vartzikia and I swear that I will find the kidnappers and killers of Mr. Vartzikia.

Alaskan Independence

With the Second American Civil War still raging, the US government has continued to try to weaken the various forces of the Coalition of Independent Nations and the Republics of America as they fail to gather support internally. The Alaskan Independence movement was quick to remove other factions on the front, including the US government, allowing the movement to utilise Alaskan oil to fund CIN and AR forces against the US. The oil would prove to be effective in helping CIN and AR to take the entire west coast, this caused more people to take up arms against the government, seeing them as even more ineffective than previously thought. The Alaskan movement would reach out to begin talks, that would last weeks in Anchorage.

Finally, a deal was announced to the shock of many, Alaska would be given independence if oil were to stop being transported to other factions. The Republic of Alaska has so far been recognised by all but Russia, being admitted to the UN and NATO to deter Russian aggression in the region. This was expected to help US forces in the civil war, yet this has only resulted in calls for more states to leave the Union.

1 soldier dead and 2 injured in Henna-Kassel

A soldier was confirmed dead after a violent encounter with some rebel soldiers last night in Henna-Kassel. According to Gen. Felix Boar "In a clash outside the village of Garptu, Tyranti soldiers killed 12 rebels, yet we lost 1 man with another 2 injured." This comes only months after the crucial Kingman Accords effectively made Tyrantio responsible for Henna-Kassel. After the so-called "Battle of Garptu" an additional 60 soldiers have been sent to aid the 400 soldiers in Henna-Kassel. In a speech yesterday, PM Johanssen said "We are responsible for that island, we will protect it."

Irogg finally surrenders!

After 2 years of hard fighting Irogg has finally surrendered to the Coalition. The coalition lost 4,889 men, and Irogg 276,992 men. Irogg will be split between all coalition members.

OOC: Sorry for the short post, it was all I could do right now.

Marajarbian General Howards was proud of this victory in Irogg. He immediately made terms to essentially bring the capital of Rogg and the surrounding areas under Marajarbian Control, effectively creating a Central Irogg.

Tyrantio has released a statement regarding Irogg: All members of the coalition will come together to decide what to do with Irogg. But please note, esteemed coalition members, that there will be ZERO colonies, only temporary occupation zones. As colonies would most likely enrage the population and lead to yet another civil war.

Tyrantio has also released a statement on the fall of Henna-Kassel: The fall of the Henna-Kasselen government is very concerning, and the fact that a fascist militia is responsible is even more concerning. We warn the new fascist government to halt all advances into the other parts of the Kingmen empire.

SIC: Tyrantio begins to prepare an invasion plan to retake Henna-Kassel and requests allies to help in this.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Marajarbian Troops have started to withdraw from the Galapagos after the ratification of the joint treaty made by Marajarbia and Sealand. Marajarbian Electoral Observerd are also on route to oversee the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections for the Galapagos. The LibCaps are currently up for re-election, with former Gov. Grant starting a Presidential Campaign as an ethnic Marajarbian-Galapagosian, striving to start an agenda based on peace and prosperity, continuing to acquire and ensure that the Galapagos continues economic and political benefit from foreign relationships.

SIC: The Marajarbian Government has accepted the Tyranti offer of retaking Henna-Kassel. Henna-Kassel has had too many brutal civil wars and needs to stabilize under democratic leadership so that true reconstruction can ensue.

The Janpian Revolutionary Expedition Force - Irogg (JREF-I) has set up a temporary occupation zone in the northern territory of Irogg. Being mainly untouched throughout the war, the Expedition force have not much to rebuild. Instead, they began modernizing towns, and created a program which provides jobs on terms of construction, engineering, agriculture, and education. This will help the northern irogg region to be competitive, despite the nearly harsh landscape it provides. They started off with the basics such as providing water, and protecting religious activities (due to the north being majorly christians)

The elections for the People's Marshal has begun. The following candidates are:

The Party Members and the Party Central ministers are advised to elect their candidates. Their platforms has been released from the recent paper. Currently, the roles of the People's Marshal is temporarily handled by the Party Central.

OOC: *cough* *cough* wonder why he doesn’t want to become a colony. On another note if the coalition attempts to establish another colony then that clearly means they didn’t learn from the Galapagos

[The King Isle]

Today The Kingmen Government seized all Marajarbian Assets in The King Isle, this was decided after The Situation in The Galapagos was worsening and was decided by the Kingmen Government

[Southeast Marajarbia]

Today The Kingmen Government seized all Marajarbian Assets in The King Isle, this was decided after The Situation in The Galapagos was worsening and was decided by the Kingmen Government

The Marajarbian Government simply could not care. The situation in the Galapagos was about to end thanks to a very decent peace deal, and very little Marajarbian assets could be found in the King Isle.

[Southeast Marajarbia]

The Marajarbian Government has decided to pull out of the SETZA Agreement due to no need to trade with many of the nations involved, and due to the Marajarbian Economy no longer needing to rely on trade deals with nations they don’t even wish to trade with.

[Hantuonia]

I am clearly not up to date with whats happening in our little universe.
So what has gone on within this little story line in the past couple of months? Thanks.

(nevermind.. I should post this in the ooc thread.)

[Zarnicovia nova]

The Galapagos economic bloc seeing the wilds changing decides to stop officially recogizing the coalition government as the real government and looks to negiotate with the GLA to coutinue their company's trade with the Galapagos and protect the assets they had and local buiseness who we're part of the economic bloc. Some companies who we're part of bloc began to distrust the higher ups and infighting would occure as the GLA's threats to end trade with the coalition caused extremje concern in the mainly coalition companies. This caused most to be staunchly opposed to the GLA's threats. Foreign immigrants and/or buissenessmen began to freak about about being forced to go and began packing up before the GLA came taking large parts of their holdings with them. With actions by local buisenessmen and foreign buisenesses causing economic chaos as the currency massivily deflates causing everyone to save currency deflating the currency to deflate even more then as 2 major buiseness men made a very public leaving selling a bunch of stuff everyone starting buying everything causing the currency to inflate extremely rapidly as economic assets we're moved out supply chains failed and shops shuttered.

TBH/TL'DR a full panic would happen and the economy would probs going into the gutter.

Also at that church we secured.

With negiations going on and the crisis boiling down the Zarnicovian terrorists decide to try and boil things up but infighting has began then they realized the head of the Zarnicovian church's in the Galapagos is not the in church and then sends the remaining forces outside to try and find him and capture him sot hey can gain religous legitimacy to allow for the rebellion to work. They have about 6 months of rations.

Northeastern Armory Plant D8ES1, Windhoek, Namibia

Henry stood against the factory wall, watching the outside of the factory from the entrance to the lobby. A major customer was expected today, and, as Northeastern Armory's youngest Chief District Salesman, he was expected to be there. His long black hair blew in the wind, and the sun beat down on his face as he took a puff of his cigarette. His tanned skin was covered by his neat black suit and tie. A brown Cadillac approached the gates of the factory, its driver showing the guard an ID and passing through. The Cadillac moved through the parking lot, stopping in front of the lobby and spotting Henry. A man stepped out of the car, walking towards Henry.

"'Ey, are you the guy I'm supposed to be seeing?" The man spoke in a thick mainland accent.

"Depends who you are." Frank responded.

"Mike Shanahan, arms dealer. I'm here to pick up my order for SAR M76(m)s."

"Oh really then? What's the order?"

"5,000 SAR M76(m)s, chambered for .308, along with 5 million rounds of M21A5 Full Metal Jacket .308 rounds, that good enough?"

"Indeed it is, Mike. Come up to my office so we can close this sale."

"Alright, just give me a second to get something from my car."

Mike pulls out 2 briefcases from the trunk of his Cadillac, and carries them back into the lobby.

"Shall we proceed?"

Frank climbs a spiral staircase into an office section of the factory, leading Mike through a door and into an office. He takes a seat behind the desk.

"Have a seat, Mike."

"Much obliged."

Frank pours two cups of coffee, holding one out to Mike.

"Coffee?"

"Sure, thanks."

"So about this arms deal-"

"Cash, as usual?"

"Yes, but-"

"No receipt?"

"Yes. We also need you to-"

"Transport it out discreetly? We have that covered."

"Damn, one step ahead of me."

"Thanks" Mike took a sip out of his coffee mug "We've got transport trucks on the way now. Far as anyone who sees 'em will be concerned, they're from 'Fresh Picked Tomato Company' and 'Schottenheimer Bros. Transport, LLC.' "

"Good to know you're doing a good job of hiding it. Do you have the cash?"

Mike lifts the two briefcases onto the desk and opens them, revealing stacks of bundles of 50 NED bills.

Frank takes the bundles and counts them.

"5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, 45,000, 50,000..."

"That enough?"

"Indeed it is" Frank extends his hand across the table "You've got yourself a deal."

Mike shakes his hand, walking back downstairs and leaving the briefcases on the desks.

30 minutes later, a group of large transport trucks roll into the factory, loading crates upon crates of guns and ammo, and transporting them to an unknown place...

[Zarnicovia nova]

With SM telling the president of Zarnicovia nova that they would not deal with the Zarnicovian terrorists in Buenos aires she would deploy Zarnicovian novan special forces in the nearby buildings and begin searching for the head of the missions in Zarnicovia nova as the terrorists began sending out troops after the coalition refused to guard the church. They would raid non-Zarnicovian areas and foreign immigrant areas for their goods taking large amounts of stuff and killing multiple but this would esclate as GLA and Zarnicovian terrorists divided with the Zarnicovians steal all the GLA members guns and forcing them outside. The Zarnicovian novan troops did not shoot but the GLA exiles would go onto raid a lot of Buenos aires. Futher disputes would go in but finally the leader of the terrorists would allow for pro-terrorists civilians to take up arms. They coutinued to raid nearby areas for food and supplies and blocked off the section as Zarnicovian novan special forces shot at any Zarnicovian terrorists they could find. Back in Zaricoa the church was very concerned and tried to send messages to the terrorists that this was unwanted and that they would take care of SM and that they already but the terrorists refused. They also refused a Zarnicovian diplomat to come into the building.
