Advent Fire: The Al-Saranidi Uprising (OOC, SIGNUPS, MT/PMT)

[National Revolutionaries of Saranidia]

IC IS UP.


War is on the horizon this December as the Al-Saranidi National Revolutionary Party begins to step into the world’s limelight, flexing its power as a Western-supported oppositional government and prepares to show its might exceeding that of a rebel movement. Hidden from prying eyes in the contested territory of Isratine and Jordan, a certain excitement is brewing.

Many Saranidian citizens, disillusioned and angry with the Parliament and monarchy of Saranidia, their cassis belli being various accusations of corruption and intense propaganda campaigns, imperialist and expansionist policies that have drawn the nation into multiple conflicts and an occupation of Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, long-standing Islamist policies and Shari’a law, purported abuses of power by the Sisterly Sultana, Miriam Khan, and increasingly socialist, Gaddafist, and bureaucratic politics.

Meanwhile, Saranidia rallies her forces to intervene and stabilize the regions that threaten the nation with intentions of violence. Still reeling from their incursion into Israel and Palestine and defending them from modern crusaders and zealots alike, and most particularly a failed coup attempt from the to-be Sultan, Suleiman Al-Salek, it seems that the forces of Saranidia, the bridge between Africa and Asia, Egypt and the Holy Land, not too far from the center of the world and the Cradle of Civilization, isn’t ready to give up just yet.

With the NRP composed of various factions, from liberal Social Democrats and capitalist National Reformists, militant pro-Christian Crusaders and pro-Jewish Maccabean Resistance and Independence for Zion, and even quasi-fascist alliances of Ba’athism and progressivism in the National Unity for Progress and syndicalists in the Al-Saranidi Worker’s Coalition, the National Revolution in it of itself may be fragmented, discordant, and dysfunctional, but they stand together in the face of a common enemy.

What side do you cheer on tonight? The many facets of freedom in the Revolution, or the chance for peace in Saranidia?


Hello, everyone, DET speaking. This is the buildup to an RP that I’ve offered to write for Saranidia, upon his agreement for its creation as a separate canon.

[National Revolutionaries of Saranidia]

RULES:

First off- Please don't flame too much or derail the OOC, and please be considerate to each other. Debate, light insults and memery, and banter are encouraged, but don't take it too far.

Standard rules of no godmodding, powerwanking or metagaming, but with a very great emphasis on all of them. However chaotic or violent this fight will be, I want it to be at least marginally fair. Bear in mind that I am not afraid to call anyone out for doing so, and while I don't want to be harsh, repeated violations of such may even result in a ban from the IC thread. This is an RP meant to cultivate the best writers and storytellers within us, not some hypercompetitive power grab to establish how dominant you are OOC.

In addition, I/Democratic Exodian Territories (my main nation) is the OP, and I name Polish Prussian Commonwealth and Danceria as my Co-OPs.

Banned players: Munkcestrian Republic and any puppets that may be associated with him- not only for personal reasons but also as per an agreement with Saranidia regarding canons.

Write "I am" down in "Have you read the rules" to signify you've read this portion of the rules.

...

[National Revolutionaries of Saranidia]

I'd like to kick things off by saying that this will be an unorthodox combination of soft/late MT and hard/early PMT, as it's an RP set in the early 2030s.
This will mean a blend of MT tech and some things one would normally see in PMT- think a blend of technology from Rainbow Six: Siege, Metal Gear, and some of Call of Duty: Ghosts and Black Ops. However, there are some restrictions where I will draw lines.

-No massive empires spanning the globe and try and minimize border gore. This is meant to be in a location and setting where everyone has half of a decent chance.

-While yes, this is PMT, I've stated this is hard and early PMT. No massive anime mechs that absolutely tower over skyscrapers, nanite swarms that consume everything in their paths, gigantic spaceships and helicarriers that dwarf the ISS, indestructible superalloys and materiel that require special circumstances to destroy, none of that.

-Smaller walkers and mech-like AFVs such as those the size of tanks and regular vehicles are largely acceptable, as are powered infantry exoskeletons as examples.

-WMDs such as biological and nuclear weapons of any type and size will not be used. Chemical weapons are perfectly within OOC lines, they just have to be something within IRL lines and not some superweapon you cooked up. "Orbital strikes" and kinetic bombardment will be ruled as a WMD and not used. Orbital weapons are fine in this PMT setting, they just have to not be WMDs and have more conventional weapons.

-Concepts such as hypersonic aircraft and supersonic transports are fine.

-While the situation is unlikely, combat within space will be fine, as are reasonably-sized space stations.

-Railguns, besides naval and anti-space emplacements will not be used due to how OP they are in relations to MT tech (I:E ground mountings to shoot satellites and limited ship-based armament is permitted, but no direct battlefield, vehicular or infantry use).

-Energy weapons will likely be not touched on at all and there will be severe restrictions on their use if I see it.

-Write down "the" in "Have you read the rules" to signify you've read this portion of the rules.

All in all, despite all this, the National Revolutionaries will be armed with MT and even some PT tech until they receive armaments from larger powers.

Some other things regarding territory:

-Saranidia is located around the Nile River Delta, bordering Egypt, and controls the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula.

-The National Revolutionaries occupy Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, and are supported by local Western private military ventures and corporations there.

-The NPCs of Turkey, Egypt, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Oman, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will support Saranidia politically and through military aid, and are OOCly under his control but they cannot take part in the conflict as combatants.

-The United Kingdom, Spain, South Africa, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Mozambique, political groups in Atkemrian Nigeria and Algeria, Nicaragua, and Guatemala will support Saranidia politically but not permitted to render any form of military aid.

-The United States, Canada, Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Croatia, Taiwan, Germany, France, Austria, and Belgium, as well as Sicily and Bavaria [the latter two controlled by Polish Prussian Commonwealth] will support the National Revolutionaries politically but will not send military aid through their governments, though their local arms companies do. Afghanistan and Jamaica will support the National Revolutionaries politically.

-The *Czech Republic, *Slovakia, *Hungary, [*controlled by Danceria] Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Syria, and Iraqi, Iranian, and Turkish Kurdistan will support the National Revolutionaries politically and through military aid; Switzerland is politically neutral but will support them through private military supplies. Angola, Kenya, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda will support the Revolutionaries politically.

-Write down "bloody" in "Have you read the rules" to signify you've read this portion of the rules.

This will be subject to change if someone requests said territory.

Final notes:

-Please RP responsibly and reasonably. Please keep one-liners to the absolute minimum. Doubleposting in the IC is not permitted.

-Please adhere to IC time. You can't mobilize half your military and place them on battlefields halfway around the world in under seven hours even with PMT. RP your troop deployments.

-I will be placing limits on the size of ORBATs. While said numbers are not clear right now, I will likely use a case-by-case basis but keep it reasonable.

-Finally, I'm going to be placing limits on how much of your military can be mobilized during any time of the RP- unless you're directly in the Middle East or North Africa, you cannot mobilize more than half of your military to fight in this conflict.

-Write down "sauce" in "Have you read the rules" to signify you've read this portion of the rules.

Greetings.

I wish to be involved via espionage, assassinations, and funding for the rebels. Possibly also weapons. My nation is quite wank but none of this will be a meaningful impact on this thread - at no point shall I deploy more than 1000 men and probably no more than a few dozen at any given time.

You could support one of the factions by sending troops.

[Sudbrazil]

Would it be possible to play as a Christian militia? I am planning to have them be quite small – no larger than a brigade.

Just a question; which real-life sections of the world is Greater Prussia situated in, speaking in literal terms? We already have a nation in real Prussia, Polish Prussian Commonwealth.

In addition, could you do me a favor and reread parts of the rules? It should spell out a message. You're on the right track.

It's not located in a RL location. It has its own map.

Is the full phrase meant to be "the bloody sauce"?

[Saranidia]

OOC: local police are non-combatants due to a union agreement but Federal Police as well as tribal(or at least most tribal) and specialist police are pro-monarchy.

[Saranidia]

OOC: what freedom of worship issues do the rebels claim to protest?

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

OOC: what freedom of worship issues do the rebels claim to protest?

Officially, legal and cultural discrimination against Christians and Jews, but also an underlying Islamist establishment and anti-secular adherence to Shari’a they believe to be the root of the nation’s corruption.

OOC: Christians and Jews can have their own places of worship,
And even their own courts.
Most government jobs have quotas meaning they can’t refuse to hire Christians or Jews.

Nerd moment:

What does 'their own courts' mean?

(It's not entirely unheard of - In Israel, we allow Halachic and Sharia courts to handle items like family law, marriage/divorce, and certain other moments, and in many Western countries religious courts are allowed as a venue for civil suit arbitration).

What are the issues dealt with by religious courts and what jurisdiction do secular courts have?

Right now I can think of marriage, personal morality and divorce,

Interestingly India has that system you described too.

Secular courts have jurisdiction for matters between two people of different religions or the whole state
