Libertarian coup in Krusaeabarth

[Krusaeabarth]

The nation of Krusaeabarth has seen violent fighting in the streets as the Libertarian Party used patriotic militias and some ideologically reliable army units to take power. After some fierce fighting the last remnants of the old Big Government ways have surrendered or fled, and a provisional government under Field Marshal Ander Bessariun has taken on the task of running and rebuilding the country.

The provisional government has announced it's program:

Re-building
To more efficiently rebuild after the last few weeks of fighting (which shall henceforth be known as The Patriotic Defense War Against Statist Aggression), we shall sell off state-owned enterprises, cut taxes, simplify tge tax code, snd create a responsible budget.

De-Collectivisation
To liberate the people's minds, we must remove socialidts, liberals, religious fundamentalists, fascists, and other supporters of Big Government from official position both in government and the bureaucracy. The Libertarian Party will expand by recruiting new members and spreading its message. All new political parties must be approved by the provisional government to keep collectivists out.

Political Liberty
This provisional government is committed to the consent of the governed. Thus a Constitutional Convention shall be elected in free and fair elections as soon as possible.

Foreign Policy
We shall judge matters of war and peace based on nation's recognition or condemnation of these events.

Dear Russo-Byzantine Empire,
Based on the wording used in Kruseabarth's original diplomatic letter, the former government seems to have been democratic or at least semi-democratic. Therefore, we would advise you to halt all military preparations as there is most likely no former monarchy to reinstate.
-John Sparrow №1, Emperor of Letrastan

Official Communication from the United States of Aurordeca

Firstly, allow me to convey the congratulations of my people to the people of Krusaeabarth on discarding the Socialist nonsense of the previous century and embracing an ideology known to bring liberty and prosperity to all peoples. You have made the right choice.

Do not expect this decision to go over well with the global "Progressive" neo-aristocrats, or with their classically aristocratic cousins. They will see you as a threat to their power, and rightly so as liberty is the natural state of mankind and always has been. Already the Tsarina Catherine III, whose respect for the common man is likely as strong as that for the rug she stands on, demands the leadership and "rights" of her kind be respected.

Her kind have only one right, and that is the right to die.

Do not submit to the blustering threats of such cowards. You have friends now.

For the good Field Marshal Bessariun we say: Take care, friend. Take care that you do not succumb to the intoxicating lure of power and destroy your people's liberty before they have properly had it in the first place. Take care that your desire to halt the Socialists and their cousins, noble though it is, does not transform you into a despot. You serve the people now. Remember that.

For the CAPINTERN we say: If those who now threaten violence seek to enact it, to force big state leftism on Krusaeabarth once more, we will be in the forefront.

For the Tsarina Catherine we say nothing. That is all her kind is worth.

For the people of Krusaeabarth we say again: Take heart, and do not stray from the course. You have friends now.

As this message is being transmitted, the U.S. Navy has received orders from the President to deploy Carrier Group VI to international waters near Krusaeabarth.

Signed,
Secretary of State Leonard Stanton

Question: was the regime that was overthrown by this rebellion a monarchy? If no, we will tolerate your existence. If yes, we give you 24 hours to reinstall the monarchy before we do it for you.

To the esteemed government of the Russo-Byzantine Empire,

The old regime was a Scandinavian style constitutional monarchy with Agnatic-Cognatic Elective succession. The nobility was a Liberal Elite who believed in creating dependency on Big Government, the state-church was Christian with left wing theology, and Parliament was dominated by socialists. Although several eligible members of the nobility remain at large, the old system is not worth fighting for. In case you still wish to do so, our loyal army and patriotic militias stand ready to water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.

Sincerely,

Field Marshsl Ander Bessariun

Well, that is a shame. We will be willing to reach a compromise if you keep the monarchy along with the libertarian system. We don't care about economic systems, so long as someone is on a throne. If not, we will march to arms for monarchy, and for the human right to healthcare, to not starve to death on the streets.

Let the government of Krusaeabarth be assured that the Empire of Greater Nihon is against all forms of leftism, especially socialist one. Socialism long ago proven to be greatest enemy of the Nihonese, one that for a very long time murdered, plundered and raped the free people of the Earth. As one of leading nations of Santiago Anti - Communist Treaty Organization, based on Santiago treaty signed in October 2014, it is within of the interests of the empire of the Greater Nihon to stop spreading of the leftists against the free people of the world.

Still, the government of the Empire of Greater Nihon wishes to ask the government of Krusaeabarth about it's policy in regards to religion. Although heavily aware of perverted forms of Catholicism advocating vile things, question on behalf of the Maki Shogun is how the government of Krusaeabarth plans to practice it's policies in regards to socially conservative Christians who willingly support free market economy, such as is majority of Nihonese Population.

Remnants of the old nobility who have surrendered have been released from POW camps for the purpose of meeting as the House of Lords. Quorum is just barely reached as bruised and battered peers are escorted to their seats by heavily armed Libertarian militants.

Two motions pass unanimously without debate, the first declaring the throne officially vacant, and the second naming Field Marshal Ander Bessariun, Tyrannicide and Bestower of Liberty, as Regent.

This way the throne continues to exist but the question of monarchy can still be left to the Constitutional Convention as the Field Marshal prefers. He hopes to satisfy monarchists both inside and outside of the nation with this compromise move.

And in a matter of minutes after these vital resolutions pass, the nobles are escorted bqck to be re-educated and freed of their collectivist brain washing in their POW camps.

Although the Field Marshal has a personal distaste for such religion as it makes patheticness into a virtue, all will be free to practice their religion as long as they remember that their rights end where the rights of others begin.

[Russo-Byzantine Empire]

We await the result of the comitte's deliberation. We advise them to think carefully about what they choose, because it determines if the new government will face peace or war. The Empire also wishes to offer itself as a refuge for all nobles and anti Libertarians fleeing the new regime. We encourage the new regime to exile all of its monarchist opponents to here, as it would be cheaper than reeducating them, and frankly you need all the money you can get because of how low taxes are. We do not, however, accept Communists, as we hate Commies just as much as you do.

Official Communication from the United States of Aurordeca

I speak once again to the people and leaders of Krusaeabarth, but also to Catherine of Russia, who imagines herself entitled to force her ideals on people who plainly do not want them, or have literally any need of them.

Field Marshal Bessariun, do not allow yourself to be intimidated. Catherine wishes to strangle the liberty of the people aborning, and would have your hands do her will. If she is truly ready to lead her people to war, then let her, and show her why it is never a good idea for tyrants and thugs to challenge free peoples.

If you simply say the word, advance elements of the XVIII Airborne Corps of the U.S. Army, in addition to other forces, can be on your soil within a day, with more to follow. Then we shall see how bold Catherine truly is. I do not expect to be impressed.

For the Tsarina, only this. If you imagine a cheap or quick victory, forcing your ideals on others, we invite you to think again. If you march to war, you will face determined enemies who have no issue with bleeding your empire's soldiers white to defend their ideals.

I advise you to back down. Perhaps your people are afraid of you, but the people of Krusaeabarth are not, and we are not.

Signed,

In case you were not aware, and really you have no reason to be, we are offering to recognize the new regime if it keeps a monarchy, regardless of that monarchy's power. We also find your idea of liberty quite amusing. If reeducation camps and coups are liberty, I wonder what horrors constitute tyranny? It seems to us that if the people were against big government, they would reflect this through votes. It is ironic to speak of forcing ideas on others when you are the ones defending a regime born out of a military coup, the very definition of forcing ideas on others. We seek to restore a Constitutional monarchy, and then let the people decide just how much government they want in their lives, not a bunch of gun toting thugs. Finally, you can threaten to invade us all you want, it doesn't faze us. We are Russian; bitchslapping invaders with our winter is our speciality.

Official Message from the Free Kingdom of Allanea

It should be well known that the Free Kingdom of Allanea is opposed to class-based oppression of any kind, so obviously we are opposed to oppressing the nobility for being nobles. Naturally we belief anyone not actually convicted of a crime against liberty should be able to keep their own property and freedom. We hope the people of Krusaeabarth will agree with us in this motion and not enter a Jacobin-like mentality of retaliation against the nobility and their families.

To Tsarina Catherine of the Russo-Byzanthine Empire we will say this: the Free Kingdom of Allanea is, by definition, a monarchy. We have protected within our borders the exiled nobility of several nations, protecting them from Jacobin violence. Our recod in this is well-known around the world entire.

However we will say this to your attempt to bully and intimidate a freedom-seeking, civilized nation: There is no reason for the people of Krusaeabarth to ‘compromise with you’.

They have allies on their side, allies each of whom could easily protect their motherland against the Russo-Byzanthines. They have no reason to ‘compromise’ with you, because the people of Krusaeabarth are, in fact, speaking from a position of strength.

Do you genuinely believe your nation can wage an offensive war against all of us? Because “winter is your specialty”?

I suspect that such a war would be less like the glories of Borodino and Kursk, and more like the horrors of Tsushima, Sevastopol, and Kollaa.

In the Allaneans’ blood, too, Russian blood flows.

We remember well the deeds of our heroic ancestors.

Do not threaten us.

Do not threaten our allies.

HM Government is most inclined to do business with the Libertarian Government of Krusaebarth, Mcnernia is a Constitutional Monarchy that has been free for a long time. Our Christianity is something that is very Libertarian, we dont care much about the business of Hpmosexuality. The Socialist way is not a way that would be good. The Kingdom of Mcnernia also stands against the tides of Leftism and corruption. We stand firm and resolute in the support of Liberty and justice in the world. The business of Royals, eligible persons who are interested in the throne and restoring the old order. HM Emilion IV has been informed of the situation. We submit our services for, reeducation of these nobles.

OOC: So I'm assuming the OP never wanted for the RP to turn into a war. He can specify otherwise. Also, what is the support amongst the people for this coup?
IC: We are not looking for a war. We believe, however, that Libertarianism should be a choice. If you truly value freedom, you should let the people decide for themselves. Once again, we will not fight a war over this. We would advise you, however, to reconsider your support for a blatantly undemocratic regime.

Official Communication from the United States of Aurordeca

We are fully aware of what you are seeking to accomplish. The thing is, the new regime has no reason to compromise. One seeks compromise when one has no choice. For as long as they have help in this from those willing to support them, they have choices.

Of course the camps and re-education programs are unacceptable, and of course we will insist they cease at once, but you constitute the greater immediate threat to liberty. It seems to us that an insurrection such as took place in this instance does not happen without cause. More than likely, the people's voice was suppressed. Now that the government behind the suppression is gone, people have a chance to express their wishes fully in the upcoming convention.

You seek to force your ideal of government on the people of Krusaeabarth, and to force them to make only decisions which fit that framework.

This will not stand. This will not be allowed to stand. When the people of Krusaeabarth meet to decide their new government, it will be with the knowledge that they may choose in safety.

Nobody has threatened to invade you. The only threats of invasion have come from your little Tsarina.

Official Message from the Free Kingdom of Allanea

We will continue our support for this blatantly undemocratic regime.

Allanea is blatantly not a democracy, it's a constitutional executive monarchy.

We do not care how democratic the regime is.

Oppression is morally wrong, freedom is morally right.

If there are problems - as our allies have correctly stated, the so-called 're-education camps' are problematic and we would hope to see those who have not been complicit in state crimes (including the day-to-day operations of the former oppressive organizations) - released from them.

However, here is what will not take place:

You will not be able to bully the nation of Krusaeabarth into restoring 'Scandinavian socialism', monarchic, democratic, or otherwise. The nation of Krusaeabarth has allies, allies that will provide it access to their markets (in accordance with our free-market principles), military protection, and various forms of legal and expert advice. You seem to believe that we owe you some manner of compromise. We do not. Neither does Krusaeabarth.

[Krusaeabarth]

Decree of the Regent Bessariun:

All nobles of Krusaeabarth who have fled to foreign lands are summoned to stand trial as individuals for their role in creating the thieving welfare state. If found not guilty, their assets shall be unfrozen. If found guilty of theft, they shall be sentenced to re-education so that they may be rehabilitated.

The State-Church shall be dismantled, its property shall be privatized, and its priests shall be re-educated. Let the State-church be replaced by true religious freedom. All religions are invited to preach their word in Krusaeabarth.


OOC: This coup is supported by a well organized plurality but not a majority. However, foreign threats would get the people to rally around the flag and leader.

[Russo-Byzantine Empire]

You misunderstand. We do not seek to restore the welfare state. We merely seek to maintain a monarchy, in whatever form possible. Once again, we do not want war. Neither should you. Also, we urge the people to not support an elective monarchy, because there has not been a single time in history when an elective monarchy didn't suck. Just some friendly advice.

Official Communication from the United States of Aurordeca

No nation here desires war, but let me refresh your memory. You, and only you have threatened war if your demands are not met. You, and only you have demanded a specific government type be instituted in Krusaeabarth. We can only assume you are more dedicated to the false prerogatives of the aristocracy than you are to the general welfare of the people.

Being effective at fighting foreign invaders in wintertime will do you no good in this instance, as to achieve what you seek will require you to invade other lands, and fight the people there. I think it likely you would find them as dangerous on their soil as you are on yours.

I reiterate my nation's offer of ground troops for the aid of Krusaeabarth.

Signed,
Secretary of State Leonard Stanton

[Krusaeabarth]

OOC: I've got no problem with war as long as the Field Marshal can lead the resistance group that will take credit for single-handedly driving out the foreign occupiers even if the war is resolved through foreign help, diplomatic means, or because of changed political priorities of the enemy, etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever citizens of the Russo-Byzantine empire try to go about their business in Krusaeabarth nowadays, they always find people exercising their Freedom of Speech to shout slogans like "Say NO to NOBILITY". Diplomatic personnel are often accosted by sign-wielding protesters, and there is a constant loud party near the embassies and consulates of said nation and its allies, with such volumes that in most nations the police would shut it down. But here the police refuse to intervene in what is clearly a stunt by activists to harass and sleep-deprive the people in the embassies.

In other news, the constitutional convention of elected representatives convenes in the capital. There is a drafting committee made up of renowned pro-capitalist intellectuals which will propose articles for the constitution, a voting assembly made up of elected representatives which will vote on the drafted articles, and a Freedom Committee made up of Libertarian party members that can veto anything that would lead to a violation of human freedom.

Many militias have consolidated under the leadership of the Field Marshal, and now call themselves the Legions of Liberty, or the LL. Police budgets have been cut so much that the LL is now the best chance to secure protection for one's property, for a small price of course. These donations, combined with the LL's partnership with the privatized prison industry have made the LL a well financed elite paramilitary group, now strictly organized by the Field Marshal's party comrades and trained by well paid experts from around the globe.
