"A Nation Divided"A TWI Roleplay - OOC
(Click for IC)
The Charbagnian Federation has laid dormant for several centuries, using its past wealth and diplomacy to ensure it remained neutral in any Southern War, funding both sides of the war and exporting its mineral wealth to those who would seek harm to it. In the 1950's, Charbagnia underwent a military coup, installing a Soviet Government. With increasing militancy, Charbagnia became increasingly aggressive, toting its military might as a force to be reckoned with. The state collapsed in the 1980's and Charbagnia became a Federation, yet its authoritarian routes remained in full-force. Several occurrences of ethnic tensions sparked in the 1990's, with some of the French Minority in Charbagnia protesting against the Government favouritism of those of Germanic descent. Protests lead to violent clashes and soon any mention of dissent towards the German people was enough to land a person in the hands of the State's Secret Police.
The country also began its own WMD research in the late 80's, successfully testing biological and chemical weapons in the early 2000's. This research was known to the International Community only by rumours, but with new investigations and intelligence operations, the rumours are soon becoming fact. This, partnered with the increasing occurrences of ethnic protests and small uprisings of illegal political parties, means that the pressure in Charbagnia is soon about to burst.
Introduction
Welcome everyone, to 'A Nation Divided'.
Here is the proposed skeleton timeline of the RP (subject to change over the course of this thread):
- Violent uprisings take place in the Charbagnian Federation, with several factions protesting and instigating riots.
- One uprising evolves into a full-scale rebellion, forcing the Charbagnian Government to act. The armed riots look to be gaining ground until an 'unknown source' uses the chemical Sarin on protestors. The Government wants the populace to be in fear, yet this leads to further instability.
- At the start of the use of Sarin, the League undergoes an outside-investigation which concludes that the Charbagnian Government does indeed produce Chemical and Biological weaponry. There is also some evidence to suggest that it is also in the process of a Nuclear-Programme due to the nation's prior connections to Communist nuclear powers (New_Aapelistan?) which enable Charbagnia to gain nuclear knowledge from old nuclear technology. This sparks an international outcry, but Charbagnia refuses to acknowledge any League claims, increasing its angry rhetoric against the outside world.
- Several nations demand that Charbagnia disarm itself of its alleged WMD's, but it again denies any involvement. League investigators are allowed in but are arrested when they eventually find something of note. Charbagnia claims the investigators committed crimes during their investigations such as bribery to military personnel & factory staff and mishandling their interviews by use of abuse, etc.
- League Nations, CU, etc. impose sanctions on Charbagnia, but this leads to the further arrest of foreign citizens.
- Carbagnian Government is also found guilty of having connections to Arvanan human trafficking and various terrorist groups such as SHOCK or SOAR, funding those groups to destabilise the regional powers.
- This leads to Alliances or a Coalition of nations to invade the Charbagnian Federation. Nations may be doing this for several reasons, (Noronica doing it to have access to influence in the South and access to minerals wealth of Charbagnian Federation).
- War ensues, with rebel groups rising, using the war as an excuse to gain the momentum they need. This leads to several factions which may be supported by several Isle nations. This makes the war go on longer with factions fighting factions and the stability of the country falls flat on its face, leading to a Syria-type situation.
- Once the Charbagnian Government is overthrown, a Peace Conference is held and the sides claim territories, ending in the partition of Charbagnia. What I'm hoping to have is an East-West Germany situation, with the EUSR(?) and others supporting one territory while others supporting other sides.
- The territories can either be puppet-nations (as in the real-life definition of puppets) or just extensions of territory. This leads to border disputes and intelligence operations, etc.
As stated above, this is subject to change, but the ending is what should occur. No one controls the entirety of Charbagnia in the end. Instead, it is split allowing for tensions to rise over separate territories. Use this thread to give your ideas on what you want to be changed or added.
Rules
- Because of the nature of this RP and what happened with the top-heavy nature of Arván, I'm going to have to ask that those taking part really take into consideration which side they want to take part in and...
- ...those taking part should be part of a Coalition of some-kind with other nations, we aren't all in this together, nor are we being individual about this, despite our individual goals.
- Normal TWI rules apply.
- Reminder - This RP is TWI ONLY, please do not join if you are not on the map of TWI and do not have established factbooks.
