Synopsis
Orsandia, a peaceful nation mired by a traumatic and war torn past, has seen the stability of its young democracy deteriorate in revelation of attempted election interference and apparent corruption by the past government from classified document leaks. Protests and demonstrations rise across Orsandia, signaling wide disdain towards the very institutions Orsandian blood was spilled for. Polarization and political tensions are heightened as rival factions clash on how to handle this issue. Reginald WIlliamson, a young and outspoken politician, is now Prime Minister, and must work to quell the communist sentiment from growing in Orsandia in reaction to these events. Little does he or others know, that this reincarnation of evil has been growing this whole time, ready once more to throw Orsandia and its neighbors into chaos.
This RP will also provide in-depth glimpses into the perspectives of various belligerents in this conflict, from the Prime Minister, Reginald Williamson, Communist rebel Renzin Lotsa, and a teenage civilian, Samuel Tang. Each will offer differing views of the conflict, highlighting the deep personal and historical prominence of this RP.
OOC Coordination
If the synopsis was confusing, this RP is a civil war/armed conflict between the Orsandian Government and Allies and militant far-left (communist) rebels who attempt to take control of the country, first seizing territory in the scarcely inhabited areas in Western Orsandia. Orsandia and Gael are relatively peaceful and quiet, so such an event would be certain to cause quite the stir. This roleplay will also cover extensive investigation into finding a potential outside nation being directly responsible for aiding the communists in Orsandia. So, where do you fit in ?
1. I need people to do some occasional news posts highlighting the concerns of the deteriorating situation, with frequency increasing as the Orsandian conflict unfolds.
2. I need nations willing or eager to provide intelligence services or military aid as it pertains to this conflicts development.
3. (Optional) I need a nation willing to serve in an antagonistic role, where they would be found to be aiding the rebels in some way for the RPs later storyline.
If you've got any ideas or questions for the storyline/RP, please, post below. Tagging is tolerated. This RP is strictly limited to the nations of The Western Isles ONLY.
- All Gael nations are invited to participate in this RP.
- Non-Gael nations allowed, especially if there is interest and have a reason to possibly participate.
A brief, tentative guide of the roleplay events
Part I : Tensions Rising
- Reginald Williamson is formally recognized as Prime Minister of Orsandia. Williamson is quickly hit with how the government intends to address the recent revelations from the Keverai Leaks via the the Guangfeng Times implicating former government members of insider trading in addition to allegations of attempting to entice foreign election interference. Williamson looks outside of his window, slightly perturbed towards the growing protest outside the Prime Minister's building.
- #OccupyOrsandia organizes massive protests across Orsandia, denounce capitalism, and urge for the "permanent impeachment" of the Orsandian Govt.

- Protests in Yang Kong and Lahpso Taha turn violent, protesters and civilians injured, large arrests, and extensive property damage.
Part II: Become Ungovernable
- PM Williamson condemns violence, vows to return order against "barbaric hooligans". Violent protests become more frequent as protesters clash with security forces.
- Orsandian Intelligence Agency, other nation's intelligence provides an urgent report to PM Williamson of a possible militant group operating in Urching SAR, Western Orsandia. The report is dismissed as a "low priority".
-Protests in other parts of Orsandia stop peacefully. Large demonstration in Lahpso Taha turn deadly, as security forces open fire on demonstrators in panic, several killed.
- News post about militant group becoming possible threat, foreshadows future events.
- Unrest in the Urching SAR boils over, separatist communists who call themselves "The People's Liberation Force" declare that the time for dialogue is "over" and that the only way to achieve their goals is through the collapse of the "Imperialist,Bourgeoisie" false government and re-establishment of a Communist state.
Part III : The Lahpso Offensive

- PM Williamson issues the "Decree of Liberty" speech, vows to "sever the head of the communist devil that haunts Orsandia forever." Border with Bravo Rio closed to prevent PLF incursion. Entire Orsandian armed forces mobilize, and other nations follow suit.

Interested in further suggestions, ideas etc. This is not a final product, but rather an outline of how the RP should likely unfold. I am open to direction shifts, and would like to see this RP develop into something flexible and serious.
NOTE : This is for nations of The Western Isles Only.
