RECAP OF PAST EVENTS!

'It appears I've made a mistake' Kennedy Rowan Coleman said softly. 'You are not interested in anything but the complete and utter destruction of Ardoki. You all want to eliminate our government, so a far-right SACTO force may seize power.' She said, truly believing every word. 'We can control Moriarty and O'Brien, they won't be committing crimes against humanity any more. At least they would do what is best for Ardoki. They don't want to destroy us!'

Nihon wrote:For a time, admiral and his wife were whispering something into their ears, talking about something while being visibly very exited. Indeed, soon Ambassador Amakusa went to write something, while the admiral stood up, spreading his hands. His katana - although the blade was dull and performed solely ceremonial function, it would be easier to strip leopard from it's spots than take a sword from Nihonese officer, citing it's ceremonial role - smashed against his leg as the tall, officer begun to speak, shocking the world with his words.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, honourable ambassadors and delegates of the international community..." he begun in very polite, calm and controlled tone, expressing great knowledge of rhetoric and culture "I arrived in here on behalf of Kojiro-tono ue, to represent Nihonese government in those negotiations, alongside my honorable wife. But I also had personal reason why I wanted to come in here. Why is it? Because I had a vision!" he said with emotional ending.

"I had a vision" he continued "that a day will come when this whole madness that has been running for several years will be put to an end. That Ardokians will cease killing everyone who does not sharing their believes; that they will stop sending Christians to toleration camps to be subject to sex change operations only because they dared to believe in some other "god" than Ardokian ominipotent and omniknowledgable state. I had this vision because I firmly believed that Ardokians will prove themselves to be honorable people - and I firmly wishes we will soon all forget our hate and live in peace, that antics of Moriatry and his cronies will be mentioned only in jokes about the past. Or at best - forgotten at all."

At this second the Admiral looked at Ardokian ambassador. She could easily say she never received a look at this. This was man no more - this was a real predator. Sight of his eyes resembled how tiger's eyes looked like when it stalked an antelope to kill; clam, confident, calculating every move... but expressing sight of superiority and disdain for it's prey. When coupled with scar - filled body and short beard, it indeed made the admiral resemble more a tiger than a man.

"Ardoki has been a tick on the globe for too long - and for too long Moriatry was allowed to suck blood of innocent people. For too long have the Ardokians been killing in the name of "progress", with all who defied the will of "immortal state" been tortured and killed. Question now is not a matter of international politics. It is a very matter of Nihonese honour. It is very matter of clear conscience. That long after we pass, our children will not look back on our deeds - and say that we had chance to change something - but we failed. This will not happen. For it has to be known that even if they will commit crimes no more - they still ought to be punished for ones they did, for nothing indicates any change of character in their hearts."

His voice was getting more and more emotional:

"We have been brought here, from nations that share little in terms of ideology. Us - Nihonese. Us - shazonites. Us - Hatyans. Us - Inyurstans. Almost every of our nations encountered the tide of tyranny at one point. Nihonese fought against Spain and it's attempt to force us to be colonized. Inyurstans, under leadership of brave Pierre D`Callero stood their ground against the socialist regime, of similar kind that dominates Ardoki today. Shazonites suffered much in the eleventh century, tortured all across Europe. What kept us forward was our sense of honor and dignity. It allowed us to overcome - and allowed us to win the battles of our lives. The same sense unites us today in face of yet another abomination."

Ardokian delegate would see now him touching his katana. This was not a gesture of threat - it was done when an oath was made.

'In the past, nations formed coalitions on multiple occasions. When Napoleon came to blitz across Europe, all nations rallied to stand for their survival. Nations stood against rise of Nazism - not a different ideology that what Moriatry practices now. Surely, peace is a good thing. But peace - as all things in this world - has it's price. High - but possible to be paid. We in Nihon do not know idea of peace above all. For there is only one thing in the lives of nations and states that is priceless - and that thing - IS HONOR!"

His wife was finishing the writ. The time was coming:

"Therefore... citing into account all crimes of Ardoki: tolerance camps, multiple genocide of entire populations, including Chielans, Ardokian Christians... invasion of Lebanon and Jezzine massacre; Shooting of civilian aircraft and others..."

Amakusa's face smiled, as he took finished writ from his wife to show it to everyone:

"Taking Christ the Heavenly King as witness, whose folk Moriatry persecuted and whose souls demand justice in front of his throne... and knowing that honor demands us to act in face of tyranny of the Ardokian state... realizing that Ardoki will not allow us to exist in peace and will do anything from the short list of it's means to harm us, as they proven with Jezzine Massacre and their attempts on the isles of Thassindulin..."

And at that moment, looking like a heroic statue, Amakusa shouted on all his throat:

"I proclaim Grand Coalition to be born!"

PROCLAIMATION OF THE GRAND COALITION

We, representatives of honorable nations gathered here today in New Orleans, expressing our common desire to uphold peace, realizing the threat posed by allowing the Ardokian influence to spread unchecked, knowing of the number of crimes committed by Ardokian leadership, realizing that Ardokian government failed to meet our expectations and peaceful solution to the current crisis, express our joint agreement for the following:

1) All parties agree that the government of Ardoki is a threat to international security, that has been in the past been involved in numerous offenses not just against international law, but against very humanity itself. Those crimes include, but are not limited to:
- Genocide of the Chilleans.
- Mass murders committed by the Ardokian forces in Aanglandia.
- Existence of Tolerance camps, prisoner experimentation and forced sex change operations.
- Jezzine massacre, shooting down of Lebanese airliner.
- Attempting to export "progressive revolution" abroad.

2) All parties agree to contain international influence of Ardoki through any means necessary; to jointly combat any movements associated with Ardokian state, and any of it's ideological proxies.

3) All parties agree to enact total continental blockade of Ardoki to cut it off international trade. Continental blockade should be carried by joint navies of all signatory states and would aim to totally cut the Ardokian continent from any outside access, blocking all outside trade.
a) Size of contributed forces will depend on signatory's capabilities and declarations.
b) All signatories should joint the continental blockade up to three weeks from declaration of the treaty.

4) All parties agree to embargo Ardoki and cease any economic relations, blacklisting products made in Ardoki and putting said nation under an economic embargo, as well as ensuring that Ardokian buisness will not spread until Alistaire Moriatry has been brought to justice.

5) All parties agree to jointly persecute all persons from Ardokian government involved in crimes against humanity, including information sharing and joint policing operations aimed at such personas.
b) For that purpose, an international military treaty will be established in Ishikawa, under jurisdiction of the members of great coalition.

6) All parties agree to provide military backup to each other in case of any Ardokian interference of military nature, as well as commonly stand up to any third party wishing to intervene on Ardokian behalf.

7) The treaty is valid as long as the goals of the Grand Coalition are not accomplished, with possibility of increase upon member's consent.

Kennedy Rowan Coleman was under the impression that this conference was aimed at reducing the tensions between the Ardokian and Dorian states. The Ardokian government was supportive of that, and had no fundamental issues with the Inyurstan draft treaty which was mentioned earlier. However, Coleman was not told the truth about this conference. She was not told that the real reason for the conference was to establish an alliance against Ardoki, an Ardoki which had expressed its openness to change and reform.

President Matchell Lerandu must have lied. This was all a scheme to unite countries against Ardoki. She was never seriously considered a negotiator; they just needed an excuse to unite all the countries of the world against Ardoki. N Awlins had forever lost the trust and respect of Ardoki, they were probably arch conspirators, vultures so keen to latch onto Ardoki like the parasites they are.

Kennedy Rowan Coleman rose from her seat. 'I see now. None of you ever had any intention to come to some sort of reasonable agreement to reduce tensions and repair relations. I was fine with the Inyurstan proposal, it looked very promising. I understood your hatred of Moriarty, and was willing to sacrifice him for the good of Ardoki. But now I know that was just a façade; you don't actually care about peace and justice, all you want is to attack and destroy Ardoki! A country which has committed itself to peace and expressed a willingness to reform and gain as much justice as possible for its previous crimes.' She started gathering her folders together. 'None of you care about any of that! I, am serious about reforming Ardoki; brining it into the 21st Century; acknowledging, apologising, and making amends for the horrendous crimes our regime is responsible for.' She left the table, but turned around to speak again to the other delegations.

'However, that can wait. It is clear you have declared war upon Ardoki. We will not allow our economy to collapse and our people to starve; we will fight for all Ardokians and Aanglandians against all those who wish to take away their rights and freedoms. We do not want war; we will do whatever necessary to ensure peace. However, as you had already drawn up an anti-Ardoki alliance it is obvious none of you have any intention to negotiate with us. I'll be returning to Ardoki immediately, if anyone here is serious about peace and justice, I'll be happy to arrange a meeting. Good day to you all. I apologise for leaving so rashly, but this conference was only intended to heighten tensions, and I will have no part in it.' She finished with.

And that was that. The Minister of External Affairs went straight to her hotel, packed her bags, and got on a flight straight back to Ardoki. She went to the conference hopeful for change, truly seeking better relations with the international community and justice for the victims of Moriarty and O'Brien. But now, she felt betrayed, she felt cornered, she felt fearful; maybe Moriarty was right about the international community, maybe they really did hate Ardokians.

Communique Officiál de la Républiqua D'Inyursta

The following letter is written with the purpose and cause of establishing our intent in regards to the current situation over Ardoki. Following a very quick series of both political debates and military command room discussions, and several polls gauging the support of the Inyurstan people we have reached the following two stances on the Ardoki situation.

First, is that La Républiqua D'Inyursta will partake in the blockade issued by the Grand Coalition, and if provoked or our attempts for non-violent justice are not met our commanders participating in this blockade will be given the liberty of engaging and capturing or destroying any vessel serving to support the Ardokian regime, be they militarial, commercial/industrial or any third party who would move in defense of such a regime.

Secondly, is a proposed resolution to the status of 60 Ardokian P.O.W.'s currently imprisoned in Inyursta after their surrender following active collusion and participation in the Jezzine Massacre, which left hundreds of Lebanese civilians dead as a result. Considering the nature of enlisted and low-ranking officers in the military, we are willing to pardon them for their participation in War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity and return these men to Ardoki if and only if the government of Ardoki hands over the following high-level criminals for trial and sentencing in Inyursta.
We will accept at least 20 individuals on the following list, including but not limited to:

- Alastair Killian Moriarty
- Riona O'Brien
- Silvester Jakeman
- Raghnall Sloane
- Any general, marshal, admiral or equivalent guilty in the plotting and carrying out of the Aanglandian Invasion.
- Any officer or high level NCO guilty of massacres in Aanglandia
- Any officer responsible for plotting the Invasion of Lebanon
- Ship captain responsible for the Shootdown of Lebanese Airliner
- Program director or equivalent of the so-called "Tolerance Camps"
- Managers, on-site directors or equivalent involved with running the "Tolerance Camps"
- Program director or equivalent of Ardoki's illegal and inhumane scientific experimentation against human subjects (mainly political prisoners)
Managers, on-site directors, head scientists or equivalent involved with running the inhumane scientific experimentation facilities
- Camp directors, captains of the guard and any involved bureaucrat associated with the running and operation of the facilities used in the genocide and mass rape of between 250,000 - 5,000,000 individuals of Chilean heritage or nationality

This is our last attempt at non-violent negotiation, and needless to say we risk incontrollable dissent and social outrage at home if we continue these futile efforts with a régime hated by so many. That having been said we do hope for your nations sake that you find some way to come to these terms...

Ardokian Social Democratic Republic,
Monday 4 July 2016

President Moriarty and Premier O'Brien Resign | Provisional President Confirmed
Ardoki Joins the International Freedom Coalition | Provisional President Promises Full Cooperation With the IFC and Accepts Investigations

Monday 4/7/2016| Ardea, Ardoki

Provisional President Donovan Cody Ormonde; Speaker of the Grand Legislative Assembly (2010 - 2016), Member of the Grand Legislative Assembly (1998 - 2016)

After the formal resignations of President Alistair Killian Moriarty and Premier Ríona Keeva O'Brien two days ago, Ardoki was left in what appeared to be political turmoil. The head of state and the head of governemnt had resigned with little notice and no official reasons given. This was undoubtedly pushed by the leadership of the ruling Ardokian Social Democratic Labour Party, which had long been at odds with the eccentricities of Moriarty according to unnamed sources, yet was unable to remove him due to very high public support.

However, in the past forty-eight hours numerous anonymous Party (ADSLP) sources have accused the former President (Moriarty) and Premier (O'Brien) of being the grand architects of numerous horrific crimes against humanity, abuses of power, and unconstitutional acts. An unnamed member of the Council of Ministers claim that they were not consulted with regards to any policies, legislation, or regulations and were 'effectively puppets and hostages to the dictatorship of Moriarty and O'Brien', colleagues confirm these accusations adding that they were threatened by Moriarty and O'Brien to remain silent and support any legislation they proposed without questioning it. If these accusations are true, it proves that Moriarty and O'Brien overstepped their legal authority and violated the Constitution by effectively removing all power and authority from the Council of Ministers which was delegated solely to the façade of collective governance.

But it isn't just members of the Council of Ministers who are speaking out; we've received hundreds of anonymous statements from MGLAs (Members of the Grand Legislative Assembly) who were regularly threatened by O'Brien to pass legislation without even reading it. An official joint statement from several state ministries reveal that Moriarty and O'Brien used ministry resources and personnel to blackmail and intimidate ministers, MGLAs, and Party officials into submitting to their unconstitutional and illegal abuses of power. These revelations are so shocking, and raise serious questions about the integrity of Ardokian institutions of state. Political analysts predict that it will take a lot of time and effort to reform Ardoki's governmental (executive, legislative, and judicial) and civil institutions back to the position of neutrality and constitutionality they held before Moriarty and O'Brien came to power.

However, a lot of political analysts in Ardoki are optimistic about the possibility of reform. Dr Meave Noreen Heffernan, a political scientist at the Ardokian National University, believes that the ASDLP 'commands a prominent position in Ardokian politics and society and will be absolutely vital in the process of reforming Ardoki into a liberal democracy which respects human rights'; however, she warns that 'the ASDLP must purge from its ranks, all those who are not committed to liberal democracy and ensure the leadership and membership are fully devoted to liberal democracy and human rights'. Dr Heffernan emphasises the importance of Ardokian 'full cooperation and compliance with the International Freedom Coalition ... to safeguard the Ardokian transition towards a liberal democracy and to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights'.

Dr Heffernan, amongst others, have publicly expressed their support of the new Provisional President Donovan Cody Ormonde. President Ormonde has been a MGLA since 1998, and was elected as the Speaker of the Grand Legislative Assembly in 2010 (much to the displeasure of Moriarty). Donovan Cody Ormonde has been described by observers as a 'strong proponent of liberal democracy and defender of human rights', and his appointment to the position of President until new election can be called has been seen as a symbol of friendship and cooperation towards the International Freedom Coalition. On several occasions Ormonde has described himself as a democratic socialist and openly condemned what he saw as the 'corruption and cronyism endemic to the Moriarty-O'Brien regime.'

In his first official press conference as the Provisional President, Donovan Cody Ormonde apologise to the Ardokian people for the crimes and abused of power which occurred under the Moriarty regime, thanked the International Freedom Coalition for accepting Ardokian membership and promised full cooperation and compliance to ensure justice and freedom is achieved. His full speech is below:

Dear, people of the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic and our new friends in the International Freedom Coalition;

I stand here before you all today, ashamed; ashamed of what was allowed to occur under the name of the Ardokian Social Democratic Labour Party, ashamed of what was committed under the flag of the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic. But more importantly, I'm ashamed that I didn't do more to stop the horrendous and unjustifiable abuses of power and crimes against humanity which were committed while I was a Member of the Grand Legislative Assembly.

A lot of you are probably shocked at the recent revelations. I am too. I could never have imagined that Ardokians would be capable of such depravity and brutality; however, the evidence is right in front of us. Ignorance is no excuse, all of us are partly guilty for allowing our democracy to devolve to a point where we were unaware of the actions of the President. What happened should never have occurred; however, it did occur. We can't go back in time to prevent those injustices, I would sacrifice my life to just save one of those innocent victims who was tortured and murdered by a psychopathic tyrant. However we can bring those responsible to justice, and ensure that such crimes are never to happen again in Ardoki.

We should all feel ashamed, we should all feel guilty, we should all feel angry at the injustices which occurred; and we must never forget these feelings, we must forever remember them so we may never commit such crimes ever again.

We Ardokians are a very collectivist nation; we understand that we cannot survive alone. When we all work together and put others before ourselves, we can achieve anything! Ardoki is unfortunately not in the position to reform on its own, all institutions of state have been weakened by Moriarty and O'Brien, so we need fiends who will guide us towards along the right path. Our new allies in the International Freedom Coalition are those friends.

The government of the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic will cooperate with the IFC to the utmost of its ability. IFC investigators will be arriving in Ardoki to collect evidence for the international trials of those responsible for human rights violations, war crimes, abuses of authority, corruption, unconstitutional behaviour, and other crimes. IFC monitors will monitor the situation in Aanglandia, observe new elections to ensure they are free and fair, oversee the government to ensure it is protecting human rights. Any obstructions of IFC investigators or monitors will not be tolerated. I urge all Ardokians to keep an open mind, and look forwards with optimism to a freer and fairer Ardoki for all.

I look forward to working with other member-states of the International Freedom Coalition, and thank the Prime Minister of the IFC for accepting our application. I understand it was a very unpopular decison; however, you have saved the Ardokian people and we are eternally grateful.

This is a breaking story, and more information will be released as we receive it.

BREAKING: President Moriarty and Premier O'Brien Resign - Ardoki in Political Turmoil! | 02/07/2016

I stand before the international community today, deeply ashamed of my nation's crimes, with strong feelings of guilt for not doing enough to prevent the atrocities which occurred, with an intense anger towards those who committed such injustices, and with an eternal sympathy for the countless victims who were tortured and murdered by a madman. I stand humbled before you today.

I can understand all the concerns the international community presently has. How can Ardoki be trusted? They committed some of the most horrendous crimes against humanity in history? Will they really change? Will they hand over the criminals? How do we know they won't just continue their human rights abused under a different leadership? These are all valid concerns; which I guarantee will be addressed in due time. However, now is not the time to draw up plans for an invasion of Ardoki; now is not the time to blockade Ardoki, causing nothing but suffering for the vast majority of Ardokians, who were neither aware nor complicit in the crimes which occurred; now is not the time to alienate Ardoki, expel it from the IFC and make its people feel threatened and betrayed.

The truth is; we cannot do this alone. If we try, we will bet met with failure. We need the International Freedom Coalition work with us, not against us. I am willing to fully cooperate with IFC investigators and monitors, they will be essential in achieving justice and ensuring our path to reform is successful. We understand that many countries do not trust us; we expect that, and will work tirelessly towards earning that trust back. We understand that many countries still remember our crimes; we expect that, and will work tirelessly towards achieving justice and making amends to the utmost of our ability.

However, I urge you all to think of the future; a better future, for Ardoki and the world. A lot of Ardokians are very scared at the moment; they believe that the IFC and the SACTO are out to kill them all. I can assure them that is not the case, the IFC and the SACTO have nothing against the Ardokian people. However, threats of blockades and talk of expulsion from the IFC doesn't do much to assuage those concerns.

All those who were involved or complicit in crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other human rights abuses will be handed over to an international tribunal to stand trial for their unforgivable crimes. We grant investigators from the International Freedom Coalition full access to all records, sites, and witnesses related to these crimes and promise them complete assistance free from obstructions.
We invite experts from the International Freedom Coalition to Ardea, to advise the new Ardokian government on essential reforms necessary for Ardoki's membership in the International Freedom Coalition; and offer observers/monitors from the International Freedom Coalition full access to the situation in Aanglandia and the new presidential and legislative elections which will be held shortly.

This is just the start. The Ardokian Social Democratic Republic promises full cooperation with the International Freedom Coalition and compliance with International Freedom Coalition legislation. I look forward to Ardoki being a respected member of the IFC and the international community again, the IFC will be vital in ensuring we stay along the right path to progress.

We do not want war; however, we will not give in to aggressors who threaten to cause suffering in Ardoki. I am willing to enter negotiations with the SACTO, to assuage their concerns and make our commitment to peace, justice, and reform visibly clear. If Ardoki is blockaded, I will have no choice but to react using any means necessary to break the blockade to defend the Ardokian people. But I don't want to do that, I want peace, and I'm willing to compromise with you to achieve justice. I hope we can agree on that, and I look forward to a cordial conversation.

Kennedy Rowan Coleman, the former Minister of External Affairs (2004 - 2016), was nominated for the position of Premier by the President this morning and immediately approved by an overwhelming majority of Members of the Grand Legislative Assembly. Some have criticised her handling of the recent tensions, though many analysts have praised her for being far more professional and diplomatic than many other Ardokian diplomats. Regardless, her appointment as the head of government is a welcome act as Ardoki had been effectively left without a functioning government for the past two days.

The new Premier has declined to make an official statement, citing 'pressing concerns which must be addressed immediately'. She may be right, ever minute spend drafting a speech and then holding a press conference is valuable time which could be better spent working to assuage the concerns of numerous IFC members and defend Ardokian sovereignty.

Kennedy Rowan Coleman is one of the most competent politicians in Ardoki, and was a fierce critic of the dictatorship of Alistair Killian Moriarty and Ríona Keeva O'Brien. She could be a future President of the Social Democratic Republic. Hopefully she will prove her competency and fitnesses for the office of President to all of us during her time as Premier.

Public Statement by President Jean-Baptiste Calderone
Déclèration Publique par Presidente Jean-Baptiste Calderone

Greetings people of Inyursta, America Libre and all those in the world watching us tonight.

It has come to the attention of my administration that the terms previously set fourth by the democratically elected government of La Républiqua D'Inyursta with the full compliance and operational approval of the Inyurstan military and an overwhelming support of popular opinion; have as of this moment remained ignored. We have tried peace, we have tried diplomacy, and what have the Ardokians given us in return? Nothing. Not even for the lives of sixty of their own will they even play host to the idea of resolving this conflict. It appears unfortunate for the Ardokian prisoners of war in our captitivity, as their government has left them for dead to safeguard the lives of war criminals...

I risk my administrations reputation and support by the people on futile attempts at negotiations - yet the Ardokians act like children and run away at the first sight of any danger. I could have been like my predecessor and simply signed off on guided munitions strikes; so far that seems like the only path that has accomplished anything in regards to Ardoki. Diplomacy has failed one too many times and I shall not risk valuable time and initiative waiting for it to fail again...

We, La Républiqua D'Inyursta, officially announce our participation and contribution to the Grand Coalition and will be supporting the efforts to blockade Ardoki as well as provide material aid to National Aangle Freedom Force (NAFF) fighters currently struggling and dying for their homes, land and freedom in Aanglandia. The Ardokians have ignored our ultimatum, what other result did they expect? That we would just give up and go home?

Now, not all is set in stone. The current government of Ardoki still has time to agree to the ultimatum set forth by the Inyurstan government before a full blockade status takes effect.
If they truly wish to protect their people, they will hand over those responsible for murdering and raping so many others. If that is too much to ask, then we will all know that no cost is too great for Ardokian political and military elites to protect one another...

Free peoples of Inyursta, América Libré and the world; stand strong. Stand vigilante. Stand unwavering in the face of tyranny...
Good night, and God Bless!

Signed:
- Président Jean-Baptiste Calderone

The International Freedom Coalition

Before, with wide arms and white smiles you admitted the reeking and cackling horde of Ardoki into your halls, we, after passing the mace of parliament down to a council of the people once we the warriors of the High King were content with stability and that a red hand would not rise from the steaming and bubbling marshes of Frisia -would have suggested that we too would join you in your far-sounding halls.

Yet alas, Ardokians, the very sperm of hell-condemned Ymir, sit amongst you. With great growling and spluttering, you have spat phlegm and bile laced darts in the face of Liberty, who now wipes her tear-stained face. What conniving sprites, which tricksy nymph has meddled at your working table? Or is this your own doing? Allowing a tribe which, under the withered but barbed thumb of Moriarty and his confederates, oppressed the populace of Ardoki. Deep into the night, shamans at their billowing altars, listening with no due diligence could hear the harrowing wailing and tormented screeches of the Ardokians as they, with whips and clubs were pressed to till the land's fruits and smelt it's ores. They heard the petrified shrieking of babes, cut from their mother's bosom and carried away by snickering and lustful office holders.

The Gauliscian Boar snorts in disdain abd stamps it's hooves in anger. It's blood stained tusks have been keened on the highest ridges of the Éulfbirge and its flanks made hard by incessant assaults. If the International Freedom Coalition welcomes Ardoki into its sleeping chamber then the free world needs a new paladin.

The Gauliscian Navy launched its first fixed-wing carrier today, Schiff de Waalschse Bœndesréich Hœchkœning Théodrich III, under the command of Captain Xawiér Hexscho. It will replace the Frankonië-Class Helicopter Carrier the SWB Frankonië as flagship of the Navy.

The carrier will mostly serve as patrol, maintaining Gauliscian presence in the mouth of the Wankan Gulf, a message to passing tankers who rules the waves in this part of the world. In this, it will be aided by the new fleet of Zeefalchen, VTOL naval patrol jets, capable of dogfighting, air-to-ground and ASW duties. It can carry up to forty aircraft, so in addition to two wings of ZS-003 Zeefalchen, it will carry several MZH-018 Œstchip, a multi function helicopter. That said, the Admiralty have stressed that the air complement is interchangeable and that all rotary and small jet aircraft may have a place on its decks at various times.

There are rumours that the construction of this ship was hurried, in relation to heightening tensions between the IFC and Gauliscia. Though it seems for now, the carrier’s trials are in local waters only for now.

Official Statement of the President

The Republic has previously stated full intent to blockade Ardoki if our demands were not met. Due to the fact that both Moriarty and O 'Brien have been replaced and face trial for various crimes and the beginning of a government cleanup by Ardokian officials. We do intend to blockade if Ardoki if Moriarty and his cohorts are not convicted. We hope that other powers will await trial results of various Ardokian war criminals before taking naval action. If Ardoki falls to convict obviously guilty officials, then Hatay will deploy Naval Battlegroup A to blockade the Social Democratic Republic. We will contact all relevant parties to bring about a peaceful solution.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

To Premier Kennedy Rowan Coleman of the Ardokian Commonwealth,
The Republic of Hatay would like to inquire to the prosecution of war criminals. Who in the military and government, do you intend to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. We would also like to ask if Moriarty is currently being held in a jail, as that is his proper place. We also would like to ask if the new government intends to conduct internationally observed elections and an Aanglandian referendum.The Republic of Hatay will deploy ships to participate in a blockade if a large amount of criminals are not prosecuted. We want to know the ins and outs of the upcoming trials. In order for the prevention of war, the international community needs to know whether Ardoki is ready for a complete transformation into a functioning democracy.
Foreign Minister Abdullah Rahman

Ardokian Social Democratic Republic,
Tuesday 5 July 2016

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Caolán Kyran Mac Alastair, has released a public statement declaring that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not 'support or tolerate any decisions and actions which put the Ardokian people in harms way'; emphasising that 'Ardokian sovereignty is non-negotiable and may not be infringed by any agreement'. Political analysts claim this is a sign of internal divisions within the Council of Ministers which could potentially undermine the authority of President Donovan Cody Ormonde.

An anonymous source within the Council of Ministers has revealed that the entire government is bitterly divided on whether they can trust the International Freedom Coalition, with several high-ranking Ministers allegedly believing the IFC intends to invade Ardoki and divide it between their member-states. This can be attributed to unexpected hostility in the IFC against Ardoki, which has alienated not only the government but many people as well. A recent survey by the Ardokian Radio and Television Service revealed that 93% of people believe that the IFC can't be trusted help Ardoki, while 87% believe that the IFC is actively working against Ardoki.

These numbers are not good for President Donovan Cody Ormonde, whose approval ratings are dropping fast. Yesterday, he had a 94% approval rating, today that's dipped to just 69% with all the attention on IFC hostility against Ardoki. An unnamed source close to the President has revealed that the President is distraught at the reaction from many members of the IFC towards his government and Ardoki, and is allegedly 'beginning to lose hope'.

Premier Kennedy Rowan Coleman released a statement that she 'doesn't comment about baseless rumours and gossip'; with some commentators raising questions about here decision to openly support the President. If the President loses the support of the Grand Legislative Assembly, he could theoretically be removed by a simple majority vote due to his status as a provisional president and subsequently replaced. However, if the IFC demands concessions which violate the Constitution, he may potentially be impeached if he even considers complying with unconstitutional demands.

Millions of peaceful protesters have gathered in cities around Ardoki calling for peace between Ardoki and the world. Significant concerns for many Ardokians include the threat of a blockade of Ardoki and the potential for the IFC to unconstitutionally violate Ardokian sovereignty. But the many millions of Ardokian people who want peace, feel as though they aren't being heard by the international community. They feel frightened about what could happen next, and are begging the IFC and the SACTO for peace.

A blockade of Ardoki could be disastrous for the Ardokian economy and would lead to a decline in the standard of living for many Ardokians due to shortages in essentials and consumer goods. Experts on Ardokian politics believe this will most likely push many Ardokians back towards authoritarianism and might lead to a rise in nationalism and militarism as a response to feeling victimised by international powers. This could be a major impediment for the President's process of reforming Ardoki into a liberal democracy; however, some analysts are worried that the situation in Ardoki might get worse than it was before if the people feel powerless and betrayed by the international community.

Caitlin, one of the protesters present at a peace rally in Ardea, claimed that the hostility by the international community towards Ardoki was 'very shocking and frightening'. She expressed feelings of betrayal, resentment, and anger at the IFC for 'actively working against Ardoki to try and punish us all out of hate'. These emotions were shared by practically every protester I interviewed today. These feelings of being victims of the international community was very strong, and it is feared that they may be hijacked by those with malicious intentions to gain power.

Everything in Ardoki seems orderly, despite the political instability. However, it only takes one demagogue to light the fuse before we watch the entire nation burn with emotion.

Public Notice

In light of the passage of IFC Resolution 21, and the ongoing revelations regarding the truth of the Ardoki government's activities, as part of their ongoing administrative support for the IFC, the International Commonwealth Agency, executing the position of Prime Minister of the IFC, has established a division for the execution of the temporary government of Ardoki established in that Resolution. A large number of civil servants are arriving in Ardoki by air as we speak.

I should incidentally clarify that this agency is not the organization in charge of the ongoing investigation, which is being conducted under the direction of the Judicial Committee with senior ministers of the External Cabinet, namely, Novo Wagondia, Flardania, URA, and Shazbotdom - although this agency will of course facilitate and assist the investigators wherever possible.

More importantly, I should be very clear that, in accordance with both the spirit and the letter of the act, which states 'this government shall be advised and where feasible directed by the collaborating remaining elements of the prior government of Ardoki [...] in the interests of peace, fairness, stability, democracy, and prosperity'; and also to avoid onerous administration costs for IFC and external donors, the Agency shall, wherever we think it possible and prudent, hold its broad emergency powers in reserve, and shall simply observe, advise, and assist that Ardoki government in their efforts to initiate and entrench liberal reforms and purge human rights violators from power. Only when clearly necessary will the Agency make use of its powers to direct affairs, and we will use the minimum of power that we think suitable in such circumstances.

At present, the only areas where such powers are being executed is in planning and executing the movement of IFC Military Police, Defending Forces, and Investigators while the IFC Military Administration is formed, and in the arrangement for the removal and capture and transferal of all persons suspected of crimes against humanity to the IFC Council in Ausitoria, for them to stand trial under the IFC's rules; areas which are anyway naturally beyond the remit of the Ardoki government.

I should also make clear to other powers that we also expect, hope, and demand, on behalf of the IFC and the free world, that any powers planning to remain involved in any continuing blockade will enable the passage of humanitarian vessels, IFC investigators, officials of both the IFC Government of Ardoki and the IFC Military Administration, IFC military police, IFC defending forces, the IFC RRF, postal vessels, and IFC shipping carrying supplies and equipment for those persons, with immediate effect.

Finally, I would also personally like to thank the blockaders for their contribution to the good cop/bad cop routine - even if they did know that was what they were participating in. Your names shall live in the annals of history for a noble cause you have contributed too.

Onwards, freedom: may Ardoki become a beacon of human rights and prosperity, a shining monument to fallen evil and ascendant liberty.

I have the honour to remain,

His Royal Highness Richard Henry Kazpia

By Heaven's Command &c.

Chief Executive of the International Commonwealth Agency, acting on behalf of the The International Freedom Coalition Government; and also on behalf of the Aestorian Commonwealth; and also on behalf of the Decis Confederacy

Hatayan Broadcasting Corporation

President says "Ardoki is taking steps liberalize and reform"

President Ali Golofad gave an important speech yesterday regarding the Ardokian crisis. He said the following:
"Ardoki is finally taking steps to liberalize and reform. The ousting of two corrupt, vicious tyrants is a glorious thing for the Ardokian nation and people. The outbreak of truth telling and the opening of the minds of many indoctrinating system brings joy to myself and many of my people. Hatay is changing our foreign policy status towards Ardoki from "Regime change" to "Least Favorable." This does not mean our clamor for reform in Ardoki has ended. More need to be brought to justice. Officers responsible for Aanglandian massacres, Grand governor Sylvester Jakeman, and more war criminals. We will not withdraw our promise to participate in blockade until more are prosecuted and our observers are accepted. If we believe that enough justice has been done and enough reform undertaken, then we will not participate in the blockade. If we believe that Ardoki is committed to genuine change and justice. Then we will not blockade and persuade the others who threaten war to not blockade either. It is in the new Administration's best interests to punish all responsible for crimes and allow IFC and SACTO investigators, because otherwise I fear that Inyurstan and Nihonese ships will cripple Ardokian commerce, Hatay does not want that. We understand that the Ardokian populace would be hurt by such a scenario, that is not desired by Hatay. But if the new government turns out to be a rehash of the Moriarty regime, then we will force them at gunpoint if need be, to reform and liberalize. Allah bless and good day."
What does this mean for Hatayan and Ardoki?

EMERGENCY BROADCAST FROM THE GRAND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
KRC [Feat. SJ & The MGLAs] — Free State Anthem

Kennedy Rowan Coleman, the Premier of the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic, stood atop a table in the Grand Legislative Assembly; while Silvester Jakeman, Grand Governor of Aanglandia, was on the assembly floor in his best pink suit. The other twenty-four-hundred MGLAs (Members of the Grand Legislative Assembly) minus Coleman were either at their seats or on the central floor of the assembly (there was not enough room for every MGLA).

The music started, and Silvester Jakeman (also known by his stage name, SJ) stated clapping to the beat. Kennedy Rowan Colman (KRC) moved from side to side (atop of the table) to the beat, clapping as well.

KRC and SJ then spoke the following lines together.

Free state
Yeah
Go!
Come on!

KRC and SJ then began to wave their arms in the air and sing the chorus, while all the MGLAs were jumping and clapping their hands.

Ardoki is a free state tonight
We're now a liberal democracy (yeah!)
And we gonna have some human rights (go!)
But reform takes some time (come on!)

Ardoki is a free state tonight
We're now a liberal democracy (yes we are!)
And we gonna have some human rights (go!)
We just need some ... time! (come on!)

Then KRC began shuffling on the table to the excitement of all the MGLAs.

She then began to rap the first verse.

After some stuff, some illegal stuff; labour camps
Ardoki is shocked (whoah!) we don't want a bully in charge
The dictator opressed us all and broke the law
But now, we are all free
Democracy, human rights, and honest leaders
Social democracy is great
Time to begin, true reform

SJ moved forwards toward the first row of seats, and then rapped the second verse.

Go!
I'm preparing for a referendum in Aanglandia
I've got the ballot papers, polling stations, no tricks
We're a free state
Go, my new crew in the capital
For a free Aanglandia
Within the Ardokian SDR

KRC and SJ then sang the chorus while pumping fists in the air and jumping, while all the MGLAs clapped their hands and jumped in the air.

Ardoki is a free state tonight (yay!)
We're now a liberal democracy (yeah!)
And we gonna have some human rights (go!)
But reform takes some time (come on!)

Come on!

Ardoki is a free state tonight (yay!)
We're now a liberal democracy (yes we are!)
And we gonna have some human rights (go!)
We just need some ... time! (come on!)

Then KRC began shuffling on the table to the excitement of all the MGLAs.

(KRC is shuffling)
(KRC KRC)

KRC then rapped the first bridge of the song.

Steady on now, and give the Ardokian people a chance reform this place
We've got a military, don't be rash, hold it - no blockades

One more chance for us (Another chance!)
Please don't mess this up (Don't mess it up!)
We truly want reform (We want reform!)
Can't we just all agree (Can't we now?)

The MGLAs then sang the second bridge of the song.

(We want reform, you want reform, let's all just cooperate) [x3]
(Let's all cooperate) [x2]
(We want reform) [x9]
(Let's all cooperate, cooperate)
(Let's all cooperate) [x4]

KRC and SJ then began to wave their arms in the air and jump while singing the chorus, meanwhile all the MGLAs were jumping and clapping their hands.

Ardoki is a free state tonight (Let's all cooperate)
We're now a liberal democracy (Let's all cooperate)
And we gonna have some human rights (Let's all cooperate)
But reform takes some time

Yo! Yo! (Let's all cooperate)
Yo! Yo! (Let's all cooperate)
Yo! Yo! (Let's all cooperate)
Yo! Yo! (Let's all cooperate)

KRC then ends the song, shuffling off the table and out of the Grand Legislative Assembly. SJ and the MGLAs followed her out.

It takes time!
KRC is shuffling

(Let's cooperate)
(Let's cooperate) (Go! Go!)
(Let's cooperate) (Yeah!)
(Let's cooperate)
(Let's cooperate)
(Let's cooperate)
(Let's cooperate)

Ardokian Social Democratic Republic,
Wednesday 6 July 2016

Yesterday, Resolution 21 was passed by the International Freedom Coalition Council. This will result in some changes here in Ardoki, I will not deny that. However, these changes will not be radical, most of them will not even be noticed as you all go about your daily lives. However, these changes are absolutely necessary to ensure the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic has a place as a respected member of the international community. This resolution will ensure that we are able to successfully transition towards a liberal democracy. It will enable us to protect and promote our human rights, by reforming our corrupted institutions and implementing the necessary legislation.

Firstly, I would like to make something completely clear. Your government is going nowhere. I understand there have been a lot of concerns, justified concerns, regarding the wording of Resolution 21. However, those concerns are unfounded. I will remain in my position as President, alongside the Premier and the Council of Ministers, until new democratic elections can be held. I have invited election monitors from the International Freedom Coalition, who will ensure the upcoming presidential and legislative elections are completely free and fair. However until then, I will remain as President alongside the government headed by Premier Kennedy Rowan Coleman.

I have been given assurances from the government of the International Freedom Coalition shall 'hold its broad emergency powers in reserve, and shall simply observe, advise, and assist' our government's 'efforts to initiate and entrench liberal reforms and purge human rights violators from power'. I am confident that the International Freedom Coalition will respect our soverignty, and refrain from violating our Constitution and interfering with our laws and regulations. I pledge the complete and immediate cooperation of the Ardokian government with the International Freedom Coalition, in our dual efforts to ensure meaningful reform succeeds in Ardoki and to achieve justice for the numerous unconstitutional abuses of power and crimes against humanity which were committed in the past.

The Judicial Committee of the International Freedom Coalition shall be conducting the investigation into the unconstitutional abuses of power and crimes against humanity which occurred, and will initiate prosecution against all those suspected of involvement or complicity. The Ardokian government will fully cooperate in this endeavour, granting access to all records which may be used as evidence and providing all resources at our disposal to assist in the investigation and subsequent prosecutions. The Ardokian government will in no way obstruct justice and urges all government agencies to comply with requests and provide assistance. I urge all Ardokians to fully cooperate with the investigators to help bring those responsible for the horrendous crimes which occurred to justice.

We welcome the arrival of International Freedom Coalition military police and defending forces, who we stand by in the pursuit of justice and freedom. However, we humbly request your forces be limited out of respect for our citizens, who are understandably very wary about allowing large numbers of previously hostile military forces into our country. I also call on the international community, specifically the countries who have threatened blockades in the past several days, to act with restraint. We do not want war, and will compromise as far as possible to ensure peace. However, we will not stand back and allow our nation to be blockaded. The Ardokian government will always defend the Ardokian people, and that is non-negotiable.

Therefore, in order to maintain peace, I would like to respectfully request an official channel of communications be opened between the Ardokian government, the International Freedom Coalition, and the countries which have threatened to initiate the blockade. I look forward to finding a peaceful solution to this problem. I have looked over the ultimatum issued by the Republic of Inyursta, and the general outline of the demands seem completely reasonable to my government. However, we cannot extradite people to a country where suspects and prisoners are neither safe nor have access to liveable conditions, not to mention the possibility of allied countries with horrendous human rights records being given suspects. That would be a complete violation of the values of the International Freedom Coalition, an alliance of which Ardoki is a member of, and would be considered inhumane and unconstitutional here in Ardoki.

Again, I'd like to reaffirm our government's acceptance of the general demands outlined in the ultimatum. However, we now have a commitment to the International Freedom Coalition, which will be conducting the relevant investigations, prosecutions, and trials necessary to achieve justice for the horrendous crimes against humanity which were allowed to occur under the dictatorship of Alistair Killian Moriarty and his lieutenant, Ríona Keeva O'Brien. I'm sure that representatives from all countries which have threatened a blockade against Ardoki, will be allowed as observers to the trial once we have come to an agreement to ensure peace.

On the topic of Moriarty and O'Brien, they are presently confined under high security at an undisclosed location; due to security concerns, I may not reveal any more details than that. However, we are prepared to immediately hand them over to forces of the International Freedom Coalition once investigators from the Judicial Committee arrive.

There is a lot more I would like to say; however, I have various meetings and briefings I must attend so I must leave you all without answering questions.

Thanks you.

EDF Chief minister suspends Ardokian national bank accounts, Natpro party protests

BY JULIE ANN GADAYAN

DAVAO CITY, Philippines. In the light of recent tensions surrounding the government of Ardoki, with a multi national task force threatening to encircle the nation of Ardoki with a blockade, the Economic Development Finance Bank's chief minister, Ermund Panganiban has announced that the EDF will be unilaterally suspending Ardokian accounts stating that the Ardokian government was "no longer to be trusted with the bank accounts". Tensions between anti-Ardokian nations and the government of Ardoki, currently lead by the ruling National progressivist social democratic party, more commonly known as the SDP had reached the tipping point when the Federal union of Guadalupador shot down an Ardokian satellite alleging that it was being used for "military purposes", the Ardokian government meanwhile denied all allegations claiming it was "civilian in nature". The situation has then spiraled from a debate on air rights which was prompted in the International Freedom Coalition council to SACTO nations and those sympathizing with the Dorian position into a debate on the legitimacy of Ardokian membership of the IFC with other member states opposing Ardokian membership endorsed by Libraria and Ausitoria stating that Ardokian membership violates the very core principles the coalition stands for.

A nationally controversial decision

The decision was met with heavy protests from the Natpro party claiming that the EDF chief minister had violated the party's decision to consult with them before. Panganiban meanwhile claimed that party say over the EDF was a "non issue" and had declared "national security interests is the prime priority of the EDF". There is now vast speculation as to whether the EDF was now falling out from the party's favor and the latest course of action taken by Panganiban reflects "rebellion by certain organizations from party rule". Natpro party speaker Faye Kabil meanwhile downplayed the course of action saying it was just a "minor gaffe".

SCOOP: An Analysis on Moriarty, into the mind of the self proclaimed "progressive hip king"

BY ARTHUR KINLAND

He's hip, he's rad and bad (literally and figuratively), he's the president of the progressivist Ardokian state and he's no other than the fedora wearing, bling studded and coat donning president Alistair K. Moriarty. His administration was marred with open secrets of human rights violations, several wars both domestic and abroad which are also filled with its gross share of human rights violations, tolerance camps and distasteful musical performances which he sings with his national parliament.

Yes, he's the man infamous abroad because of his open endorsement of camps dedicated to making Ardokian citizens who are moving out of the "progressive line" into more "compassionate" citizens. He describes himself as a man who "hates those who hate" and is "intolerant to the intolerant" which is quite problematic in itself considering the amount of hypocrisy one will have to go through before one is able to achieve in eliminating the two eternal concepts existent in human nature, hate and intolerance. Even with all the monstrous displays in Jezinne, to the people of Anglandia, and those who are not loyal to the doctrines being pursued by what the state claims to be "Ardokian culture", he is regarded as a rockstar by his fellow countrymen. Or is he? Maybe that's what he just wants us to think. Nevertheless the man is quite a unique figure in history as never there had been any historical man so deplorable that he'd be obviously a villain should he take a role in the movies hold such progressive values. Many commentators abroad who are progressive activists themselves have been careful to steer clear of the Ardokian path so as not to be acquainted to the notorious monstrosities of the Moriarty government and the enigmatic political entity who is making rounds recently in international stage, Toolsbergia which Raissa Robles, a political critic described as "probably Ardoki's only real ally".

According to well known psychologists from the Philippine psychiatric association, they were able to figure out the inner workings of the peculiar Ardokian statesman by just studying his antics, the way he acts on screen, the speeches he gives, his online posts, the orders he gives and carries out and the image he projects and has come to the conclusion that the man is suffering from "narcissistic personality disorder as well as bipolar syndrome" which explains the man's political antics. "Moriarty gives orders which are based on psycho emotional outbursts rather than careful calculated planning..." said a psychologist who refused to be named due to security reasons. "There's a reason why he tends to be friendly at times yet shows of tends to grow quite radical when faced with emotional pressure."

The MBTI Jungian assocation of Davao city meanwhile gave an assessment in one of the "Political know how" articles that Moriarty was an ISFJ, a type described to be "Introverted, sensing, feeling and judging" which is a man with the personality which is "uncompromising and tending to have difficulty making rational decisions and as a result would resort to emotional faculties. "Of course, to cover up these traits, he would obviously turn to his 'rockstar facade'." Said the same anonymous psychologist.

0659 Hours: Divouga, Guadalupador. (15/8/26)

The Grand Premier's Statement on the Situation Developing in Ardoki

For the past few nights, my administration and I have been monitoring the situation that has been developing within Ardoki, from the breakdown of negotiations in New Orleans, the announcement of the Grand Coaltion, the resignation of the war criminals Moriarty and O'Brien to the highly unpopular, and unilateral decision by the Ausitorian government to admit Ardoki into the International Freedom Coalition without having proper trials set beforehand. This is unacceptable, and our delegation within the IFC is sure to voice its displeasure within the Counsel. Time and again the Ardokian government has pledged to reform even to the point of taking Moriarty out of office for a short time, only for him and his terrible policies to return. I'd like to think that an air of distrust following an plea by the Ardokian government that it would reform is common. Though the new Ardokian government pledges that it is different, we must be on our guard once more. If the Ardokians are to really abide by international norm, we will welcome them into the community, though it will take time.
Time to either reform their government, or to regress back into the Moriarty-era. The Grand Coalition is a force of good, and is an organization to deter Ardoki from acting out of line, as it is a union of both IFC and SACTO states that wish to see Ardoki truly reform, and abide by its new policies. The International Freedom Coalition will be sending investigators to realize the actual extent of the crimes against humanity that the Moriarty regime has committed, and will conduct trials through means of the Jucidial Committee. We are to be watching developments intensely, and will participate in proper IFC Oversight over the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic.

Thank You, God Bless Guadalupador, May the Old Gods Preserve Her, and Save New Yama.

And the Gears of War Shall Turns
With the recent withdrawal of the Ardokian Social Democratic Republic (ASDR) from the International Freedom Coalition (IFC) has caused mixed feelings throughout the Empire. With the majority of the populace happy that their corrupt nation has departed the IFC, while others are angry that with the attempted reforms that the IFC was trying to push through the ASDR Government would help their populace and bring them up to the standards of the International Community in their basic human rights, something that has been lacking within the ADSR for quite some time. This has brought renewed anger to the populace and they are once again calling for the heads of the leadership of Ardoki.

Dr. Gregory House

In a study conducted by world-renowned Doctor of Diagnostic Medicine Gregory House, Md., he concluded that the people of Ardoki suffer from a case of Mass Hysteria. In his thesis, he stated, "The idea that a nation so vast sees not only their leadership but their religious figures as being standing next to God, or in some cases, being higher than God shows that the way that they suffer from dementia. Either that or their Government has spoon fed them some of the worst drugs on the face of the planet. I will also not that on average, drug addicts are stupid....I believe drug addicts get sick. Actually, for some reason, they tend to get sick more often than non-drug addicts."
His Article can be found within The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, issue dated for the 1st of August, 2016 (CE). The research included articles by not only the Ardoki State News (which broadcasts under the moniker Ardoki National News) and posts on Social Networking from not only the leadership of the ASDR but also from citizens such as Tiarnán Coleman MacKay. His research lasted roughly 4 weeks and included more than 1TB of Information from Two Social Networking sites, as well as the State News Agency, which was mentioned previously.
Within Thirteen hours of the withdrawal of the ADSR from the IFC, a meeting was called by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Supreme Emperor. It is unclear to the staff of Shaz City News what was discussed at the meeting, but within minutes of that meeting orders were issued by the Ministery of the Military for two Naval Battlegroups, the 3rd and 4th Large Naval Assault Battlegroups (consisting of a total of 82 ships), to be deployed to the region of the ADSR to join in the Blockade formed by the Grand Coalition, a group of nations that seeks to cause reforms within the ADSR through means other than diplomacy. It is unclear if this will be the prelude to full-scale open conflict within the region, but with as much firepower as is being deployed to the region from not only the Empire but from several other nations, the future is uncertain and unwritten.

OOC: tell me if the ORBAT is unrealistic, and I will specify it further when I have the time

"We will take military action against Ardoki." says President

President Ali Golofad made it quite clear, in a press conference today, that he intended to join the blockade of Ardoki, he says that Ardoki "has failed to comply with IFC demands, and has failed to undertake crucial reforms to the architecture of the country. This war is for the good of the international community and for the people of Ardoki, whose government has only worked for the ASDLP, despite repeated attempts to see major opposition parties. The Aanglandian Independence Movement has been sidelined by the new government, while the government is legitimate, it has failed to acknowledge at the very least, the will of the native Aangles." President Golofad said the Naval Battlegroup A, which is the Hatayan Republican Navy's largest Battlegroup will be mobilized and deployed in international waters close to Ardoki, with orders to begin stopping all ships military or civilian from leaving or entering the country, once Dorian, Shatzite, Nihonese, or Flardanian ships arrive. Many ask if this means war, when asked, Golofad said the following. "If the Ardokian Maritime Force attempts to break the blockade, I will without doubt, take this as an attack on the Republic and call for war. Now, if Ardoki complies within the next week or so, we will not launch any ships." This seems to mean that the President will not pull any punches if Ardoki attacks the blockade, but when questioned further, he said that Hatay would declare war only if an IFC ship was attacked, and that if Nihonese ships were targeted alone, he would not intervene. We eagerly await the Ardokian response, which will likely have a very hostile tone.

Strait of Gibraltar
Admiral Mufaddal Nasser, Commander of Battlegroup A, watched as the British soldiers on the coast gave the thumbs up for him to pass through. The armada glided through, it was truly an impressive fleet. Nasser looked behind him to see the sight.
ORBAT
-1 Hafaz Class Carrier
-12 F-15s
-5 F-18s
-3 AH-64 Apache Helicopter
-2 F-22s

-2 Iroquois Class Destroyers
- 1 Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King (for each)
-10 Archer Class Patrol Vessels
-4 Type 23 Frigates
-2 Vanguard Class Submarines
-1 Rubis Class Submarine
-2 Horizon Class Destroyers
-1 Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King (for each)
-2 Eridan Class Minehunters

The biggest of Hatay's three battle groups, given one of them is still being formed and one is medium sized, but it was impressive nonetheless, they would force adequate reform and implement justice in Ardoki. This force would do the job well. Nasser looked behind him to see the Hatayan flag flying from each one and he felt proud and what they had built. Buying from the British, French, and Canadians, they had formed a force to be reckoned with. The Ardokias would find that out soon enough, if they did not comply soon.

Porté Ramos, San Meresque Strip; Inyursta

The choppy, crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Marindino lapped up and down with increasing ferocity over the sand and coral rocks of the shores at the mouth of Porté Ramos, a few dozen miles north of the tourists King's Island. Cutting through the liquid topaz like a shark and it's remoras was the Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier INS Rosetta Marcos and her escorts. A full Inyurstan carrier strike group with an escorting light air support detachment was heading towards the seas outside of Ardoki, and in a matter of time would be in position to break the back of the back of the SDLP régime's influence. To the untrained eye a single carrier group was nothing much, but the Inyurstan Navy was skilled at dodging satellites and undercutting OTH radar and could easily turn a large amounts of ocean into a blind "Zone of Fear".

Officially, they were tasked with the liberation of Aanglandia and the blockade of Ardoki; but away from the public eye there was a much more dangerous and daring mission in store for carrier group...

Moving outside of the pack were the submarines, a mix of Type-64 fast attack submarines, Mirage-Class guided missile submarines and an Ohio-Class ballistic missile submarine. Some were far ahead of the surface group, already on patrol and moving in position with new orders, while others would drop behind in order to catch any unknown force that might try to tail the carrier...

Official Statement of the United Realm of Gauliscia

Recipient
The International Freedom Coalition

Personally, grief stricken reports have brought to my ever-patient ears by Shamans -who, diligently tending to their steaming altars by night, stringing high the tawny rabbits on the gables or feeding the eternal flickering flames with branches and mice, could hear the tormented baying of workers or the distressed wailing of mothers from Ardoki. We have grown accustomed to such disturbances over the ages. But indeed are the ordained sitters in the high halls of many turreted Clovisburg disturbed greatly when a confederation of states, flying high a fluttering banner of freedom set out to cooperate with the Ardokian chieftains. The very chieftains who ploughed the backs of its populace with whip and chain, and stole away the fruits of wombs of those who didn't adhere to their ways, snickering without remorse and always with undue delight. This has persuaded us to uncontrollably retch with revulsion at your schemes which are tricksy inasmuch as they are depraved.

So, here in Gauliscia, we have busied ourselves, like summer bees; treading the sweet oozing nectar to honey and filling the empty combs with it, we have posted to ward of the buzzing herds of idle drones. Yes, billowing clouds of black smoke rise from our sooty smitheries, and heaving hazes of golden sawdust rise from the sawmills as we prepare the bridal and blade. We make ready for a war that will be as short as it will be successful for us. For we have pleaded to the ancient honour and ever living glory of our legions, our shamans have blessed the cohorts and adorned all the war shafts with time-honoured talismans. And so, with the first hurling of our javelins at your gaping and disorderly ranks, you will yield victory to us, your most senior chieftains falling on their scraped knees, surrounded by the frothing black gore of your destroyed armies, and, clutching the ankles of even our most junior officers, beg and weep for mercy.

And furthermore, the pulsing and steaming entrails of geese flying westwards, caught by nets, have foretold of the sacking of great cities. These cities will be yours. We shall torch the huts of your citizenry, lay waste to your palaces, carry off the sparkling treasures of your cheap prestige and our warriors will leave no human crevice of flesh unsullied by their righteous lust. All your nations shall be flung into the mixing bowl and grounded like pepper, into a mist that will be served in the golden and high feasting halls of the High King, where tales of your fate will be told by veterans or lyre-clutching bards and met with unquenchable laughter and scorn by all those favoured to sit in the high halls of many turreted Clovisburg, as they give their limbs to an excess of the fruits of Ægir, swirling the purple liquid and splashing it far and wide. And when they awake from their drunken stupor, the ancient state of Gauliscia will still be living and rife with life. But your confederation will be forgotten, it's pages of history poured over only by virgin professors.

The Gauliscian Boar has grown too accustomed to foraging mushrooms and snails. Now, it hopes for rabbits.

Waalischië Vorwaartz!

0600 Hours: Avijanos Naval Station, Guadalupador. 12th Commerce/Sea Denial Group, Federal Navy (20/8/26)

Anchors Aweigh! The recently reorganized 5th Fleet's newest Battle Group, the 12th Commerce/Sea Denial Group cast out of port southward through the Dorian Corridor, and the Suseshi Sea toward the rogue state of Ardoki. The sailors and pilots within the 12th were on the top of their game as they prepared for the blockade ahead. Though the Guadalupadorians wouldn't be alone in this endeavor to force Ardoki to change for the better, they were just one part of the Grand Coalition to reign freedom in for Ardoki, and break the stranglehold that the ASDLP had over both Ardokians themselves, and the people of Aanglandia, whom have been persecuted and killed by Moriarty and the ASDLP for years prior. How clear it was that many other nations of all backgrounds had enough of such crimes, and now it was time the criminals got their punishment.

The 12th's mission was simple: Make the Ardokian economy howl in pain and dispel the myth of the "invincible" Ardokian autarky, so much so that they capitulate to the Grand Coalition's demands. The blockade would be by the book. The 12th would scan the waters within its sector of operations and destroy any blockade runner that even dared to face the Continental Blockade.

Truth be told, no nation had ever truly enjoyed cordial relationships, let alone a trusting one, with the maroon state. The rumours, those few facts that had trickled out had painted an image for all the International Freedom Coalition to see- one of darkness and deception. If a leader was the representative and epitome of a nation, than Moriarty had certainly been a fitting one. No other man was capable of so accurately representing the psychotic, psychopathic nature of Ardoki.

So it came as no surprise when they had finally received their just dessert. It had been no surprise that they had come running for help, playing themselves as the victims rather than the villains. And most of all, there had been no surprise when despite the generous aid offered, they refused to meet those few terms asked of them and instead returned to their old ways. There was no one in the world who liked to be fooled, and to have been fooled in on the international stage was especially humiliating. This was not an insult to be casually ignored and dismissed.

Now, the spears which were to be used to shield Ardoki would be turned against them. It was time for the peacekeepers to wage war.

International Waters

Far far away, the mission orders for ten ships completely reversed and changed in the largest way possible. The 1st Battlefleet, originally deployed to protect and aid the Ardokians, would now be used to hunt them down. For all its bold name, it was but a miniscule speck against the vast blue expanse of the ocean. Compared to the fleets fielded by the superpowers of the world, it was nothing, dust to the wind. A single carrier, escorted by two cruisers and a scattering of destroyers; followed by a vanguard of submarines. It was all the Chilokveri could afford to deploy over the vast distances to Ardoki. Yet behind it stood all the might and anger of 193 million citizens on the far side of the world.

In the turquoise skies above the dull black flight deck, a flight of Goshawk stealth fighters made a barely-subsonic pass. The aircraft hurtled along whisper-silent, looking for all the world like rounded black arrowheads. Just before they passed, the tearing screech of engines assaulted the carrier, and the jets flashed overhead, pulling up and to the right... And in their wake there was a boom, a thousand pounds of sonic ordnance bellowing deep in your chest. In the blink of an eye, they were gone, having disappeared somewhere into the heavens, with only a momentary wingflash to mark their departure. Who said that hornets couldn’t sting?
