Disorder in Iulua (OOC)

[Iulua]

Right, so why would you be free to land? What am I missing? You would obviously be treated as invaders.

Perhaps on socialist controlled airport? Im landing there as a peace keeping force anyway. And since Republicans have no control or arms and such, I believe its a bit easy to land on one since theres not much restrictions or restricting it.

There are no socialist controlled airports. That is the fundamental misunderstanding, I think. You are imagining some sort of civil war where both sides hold state power over some territory. That is not the situation at all.

I want to make a big post with speeches and then everybody's good to go. I tried to catch up. And I responded to something I missed at the station.

What do you mean by "big post with speeches"?

What do you mean by "big post with speeches"?

Just to establish the situation. It'll be done soon.

Ok, thanks, I can't wait to see your recap of the previous installments.

It's a small thing but did the Inspector take the stuff?

For reference

Sir Bartholomew "Bertie" Woodhouse
Age: Approximately 45 though he looks much younger
Education:
St. Sebastian College - B.S. Physics Cum Laude
Oxford University - Masters International Relations and Finance

Sir Bartholomew worked in the International Policy Division of the United Duchies Treasury for 5 years before leaving government service to help set up an investment bank focusing on distressed international loans in 2008-2014. The bank he founded Hubarian International was purchased in 2016 for several billion dollars by an American Hedge Fund.

Woodhouse was appointed as Regional Envoy to the Pacific in 2018 by the current Government, though he is seen as a hold over from the prior Outer Minister who was more known for his corruption than outreach.

Note he walks with a cane and a limp from a skiing accident in 2014 that has not resealed properly due to a genetic condition.

Well since no one has control over airports, we can just arrive there without delay.

I will move things ahead next post and you could do whatever. But, from your first post, it reads like the Republicans are the ones you're trying to support? So it might be a contested landing. Or you could liase with them first?

You mean the announcement? I think I made myself clear that I publicly support the Socialists. The Republic of Lulua is afterall, a socialist state founded or announced by Mendoza right?

Ok. This is where we are misunderstanding each other, and I could have maybe answered more clearly. The Republic of Iulua was "proclaimed" by Maria Mendoza. That amounts to one woman saying something to a supportive crowd. What is actually happening on the ground in my country is a protest movement. Many of them have won election to municipal, not national, offices. They have not set up anything that could be called a state apparatus. They do not control territory. The government of the Kingdom of Iulua functions as the state in every inch of territory I have and no other body does so. That is the situation on the ground now. It's not necessarily permanent. There could be an actual civil war or a foreign war still. I'm not saying one outcome is just locked in and there's no way to change it. But I think you are misreading the situation on the ground because you took Mendoza's rhetoric a little too seriously. I meant it to be apparent that she was overplaying her hand but I guess not.

At this point, peacekeepers sent to support "the Republic" amount to an invading force trying to institute regime change because there is no such group in power in my country or even close to being in that situation. I originally thought that was your intention but maybe the situation wasn't clear. I suggested before that it might help to liase with the protesters before doing anything on their behalf. They are not, for the most part, looking for troops or a shooting war at this juncture. Again, that can change.

What is the even the meaning of sending ‘‘peacekeepers’’? Peacekeeping comprises activities intended to create conditions that favour lasting peace. Research generally finds that peacekeeping reduces civilian and battlefield deaths, as well as reduces the risk of renewed warfare.
So far there has been no war. And no civilians were killed. So it's kinda non-sense.

Ah I see. Then I guess I will just arrive there ensuring elections are followed.

Basically protecting the elected ones, and mainly the people. I will drop the Republic thingy one.

About that, I guess I can now land there right?

Japia,
It is usually good manners to allow the host to recognize your troops arrival in their land before you rp that they are doing so....
