To: Whomever it may concern within the Rudon Department for Foreign Affairs
From: HR, Hans Theodor Kyllenborg, on behalf of HM, Erik XII Georg, and several of his Chief Officers:In background for this communication, this recent and most severe plague outbreak has been under the consideration of His Majesty and several of His Chief Officers for the past several weeks by this point; it is typically the policy of His Majesty to not involve the Emerstarian people in the affairs and worries of Markion, but he is of the belief that a nation suffering from something this severe, that is not being tended to by its neighbors, ought to be at least tended to by servants of God. Thus, by the cooperation and the direction of officers of governance within the Church of Emerstari, the Department for Foreign Affairs of Emerstari, the Department for the Military of Emerstari, and the Royal Family of Emerstari, he hopes to execute the following plan, having consent of the Rudon people:
In the sea southwestward of Rudony, there are several isles which are within the domain of His Majesty. While several of these isles are, in fact, populated by Emerstarians, there are several which are not and are uninhabited but nonetheless inhabitable. As stated above, His Majesty hopes to execute a plan wherein the populace of Rudony may be evacuated by the Royal Emerstarian Navy to these uninhabited isles (Valtersøye, Rundtskøye, Gjomsønnen, and Hegerkvåle) until they may return to their land of origin one day. Rudons, upon their arrival, to these isles will be made residents, but not citizens, of Emerstari, — this meaning they must abide by the laws and regulations of Emerstari, — by an edict His Majesty is prepared to issue. Moreover, the resources of these islands shall be at the disposal of the Rudons there to an extent. The governance, administration, and policing of these isles shall be left up to the existing governors appointed by His Majesty and their councils as well as the Royal Emerstarian Military.
May God long give Rudons good fortune and have them in safety. Alleluia.The Green Union wrote:

Re: Fungal Infection
To whom it may concern,
We would like to provide you additional aid in your time of crisis. So we are offering to send the hospital ships Nightingale and Seacole along with anything you require to stem this epidemic. Ameria is also willing to accept Rudon refugees, provided they have been screened. However, if you are unable to currently adequately screen refugees, we are willing to assist.
I hope for your prompt reply.

Imperial Marines outside of September City
They were moving forward. Slowly but slowly is still forward. They had had to start branding captured soldiers and setting them free with a promise of hot lead if they were captured again. Although the push for movement coming from command had started to become a little devastating. A inability to move anything other than vehicles with tracks or pickups. The air raids had proven to be working well although there were still large groups of SIDF forces hiding throughout buildings and in a large center they had started to manufacture as a stronghold.
Sir, we have re-enforcements and tools to start manufacturing roads to the drop point.
Alright, start tasking POW's with roadwork. The re-enforcements can watch them for the time being
woosh--- boom
Those flyboys are getting risky... He watched as a SG-87 swung down and unleashed some missiles on SIDF strongpoints around thee blocks away from the building they were crammed into. There were somewhat established lines in the city. Imperial forces hadent been able to move and neither had they. He had asked for tanks to be airdropped in so they had another advantage but so far the Admrial on the Princess Emma had been hesitant to send bigger planes to the island. Unfortunately for now it was just constant airstrikes on enemy combatants.
Yea. It would appear that they got some anti air guns and lights up. Its making it hard on them they have been coming in alot lower than they used to. Unfortunately it would have to stay like that for the time being until they could get some more armor.Republic of Altos and Stratis wrote:Leipförde Combat Aviation Brigade, UCSO
“Skeleton begin mission”
General Arthur Stone watched as one by one the helicopters lifted off, again heading to September Island. They were fewer in number than the last time they made this journey. Stone sighed as he remembered how the last excursion to September Island went, and the fallout from it. The long and infuriating phone calls with his superiors and the Defence minister. He had been told that a review of the entire incident was ongoing, but he had not heard any news regarding it in some time.
Then he smiled as he remembered the most interesting part of the SI fiasco, the suicidal bravery of a member of the KP garrison. He thought back to when Reaper showed him some of the footage they had gathered while on the mission, he had watched incredulously as someone picked up an AK and began firing at them. At great risk to themselves and those around them. Later he had learned that intelligence had identified the figure in the video as Major Liso Glace with a probability of 80%. Stone wondered if she was still alive, the Sevevillian invasion had hit SI hard and the Sevevillian were continuing their streak of brutal warfare. He had read the reports of how the Sevevillian’s were handling POW’s, the brandings, the forced labor, and the conscription of POW’s to assist in the conquest of their own island.
Sources of the Imperial Marine Corps in the Oceanian theatre has today announced the capture of September City, along with the formal surrender of the island’s defence forces. Over around three days of tough fighting in the capital, all SIDF air defence assets had been expended or destroyed, and Imperial aircraft were uncontested above the vulnerable island. Faced with unrelenting airstrikes and a new wave of heliborne marines landing with impunity, the demoralized SIDF leadership finally threw in the towel.
The SIDF’s last semblance of a high command had been holed up in a makeshift parking garage turned command centre, with Imperial marines only a couple of blocks away when the ceasefire was begged for. Within minutes, the headquarters had been seized and its occupants made to sign an end to armed resistance in the country.
However, Sevevill’s victory is not complete. Upon entering both the Kamooko Pact headquarters and houses of government, Imperial troops were annoyed to find them all but empty. All the major civilian officials of the September government and KP were able to flee the island over the last days of fighting, leaving only a few bureaucrats who were incapable of or unwilling to escape.
To compound problems, a great deal of military equipment has gone missing from old KP scrap sites, and much of the country’s infrastructure has been seriously damaged. Bridges have been collapsed, roads have been blocked, airstrips have been torn up, and fuel reserves have been set alight. It will be quite some time before repairs can be made and a substantial armed force can be operated out of September Island.

He walked in upon none other than his girlfriend, Ecorce, sitting with girls he had never seen before. He snuck up behind her and gave her a peck on the cheek.
She said quietly, in usual nature “Hey Jordi, this is Erika and Rose.”
He sat down, and said “Interesting names, where are we from here?
Rose zealously replied with, “I am a local, Erika is from Pygros.” She then countered the question with, “That is a strange accent, where are you from?”
“You know where Drejveška is, right?”
She nodded.
“I am from a small country called Phoenixia, in a city called Atogrev.”

“God whatever happened to Erika and Rose? It has been damn near 15 years,” he thought to himself.
“Oi, Maleov, the Xekkies are attacking OP Kesseat again, gear up!” He saw Sergeant Kiežki out of the corner of his eye waving him to get moving.
Jordi grabbed his rifle and gear rig and ran, there was an APC waiting, a young conscript, no older than 19 pulled him up on top. “First time, kid?”
“Yes, M’sergensk,” Jordi saw the fear in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna let those Xekkies hurt you or anyone, I always come back with ALL my men.”
The convoy of mixed vehicles of varying ages moved along the battered street of Vilak Modona. Gunfire erupted as the APC in front of them was hit by a dumbfire rocket. “Sches, Sches!” the platoon leader started panicking over the radio.
“Xekkies, three o’clock,” Jordi yelled to his squad. He started talking to his radioman, Yuri. “If we don’t get shit in here, we will all die, we are obviously outnumbered.”
Yuri’s hands were shaking while punching in the numbers for Air Command, “Yeah, shit, Jesus died upon the cross for this shit.”
For a moment, there was a blank crackle on the radio, it was broken by “Air Command, state your position and callsign.”
“This is eagle black 1-2. We got fuckin’ Xekkies on us in sector bravo-3-4-delta. Requesting immediate air support.”
“Eagle Black 1-2, that is a negative, we have no planes in your sector, you will have to wait,” the crackled voice was broken by Yuri screaming over the radio.
“Many men will die if you don’t get a damn plane over here, do you copy?”
“I will see what I can do, over.” there was a long silence. “We have an X-12 headed your way, ETA is fifteen minutes, copy.”
Jordi called out, “fifteen minutes boys! Just hold em back!” He leveled his sights on the head of a Xekniyan insurgent, he didn’t even look like a man, he looked like Jordi’s kid brother, but in his adrenaline filled rage he let off a burst of five shots, mangling the face of the poor soul.
Within five minutes, screams of the wounded filled the air; somewhat even drowning out gunfire. The ammo stores of an infantry fighting vehicle a little bit ahead exploded a few minutes later as Jordi was struggling to keep his men organized and Yuri kept checking in for status.
Finally, the sound of saving grace had arrived; the droning buzz of an X-12. It strafed the enemy positions and dropped some sort of incendiary device. Jordi could see the wounded insurgents fleeing, but as their own saving grace one raised his rifle, and fired. It hit the young conscript square in the forehead.
The battered convoy returned to the main operating base. Jordi was silent, Yuri comforted him saying, “It wasn’t your fault man.” To Jordi, it was his fault. He had not fulfilled his promise to protect his men.

Jordi simply could not sleep that night. He finally broke the barrier and drifted off into a dream. He saw the figure of a woman walking towards him. It was unmistakable; it was Eco.

He leaned in to kiss her, but her image was vaporized in a blinding light. Just before him then, was the private, hole in head saying “Why, sergensk, why did I have to die?”

Yuyan Citadel, Jokhai, Durradon
Zhang Qin
The Yuyan Citadel. Part military base and part temple for Buddhists and Durranese animists alike. The place was built roughly one thousand, one hundred years ago. Originally it was a temple, but when Kaltura invaded, it served as an excellent, central point in the old Confederacy to gather forces and train men. Slowly over time, the building grew. From a humble temple to a citadel and testament of Durranese military engineering and construction. That's what Qin's father said about it. His father always told him about how one day he would have to grow up and become a man, but the only way he could do that was by dedicating himself to the great cause and becoming a full-time soldier. Becoming a soldier in the Confederate Army was no joke. From this point on Qin would train every day for years. He wasn't going to be a common part-time soldier, he was going to be apart of the elite. If he wasn't dead, he would be training.
The truck rocked a little as it passed over some rough ground. Qin came out of his daydream as the recruit in front of him spoke. "Ah, look whose finally awake!" The boy grinned and patted Qin's knee, "We've just crossed the border into the Citadel's land if you don't know already, we get to see all the monks farming our dinner for tonight." The boy was taller than most others there and had a shaved head down to the skin. He seemed to have a natural smile and radiated a welcoming aura. Qin spoke back. "You're quite lively for one whose about to be beaten near to death, what's your name? My last name is Zhang." The boy perked up, "So formal! My first name is Xuan, and one must keep a good attitude if one is to be beaten for the rest of my military career!" The truck laughed and smiled together. "Fair enough, my name is Qin."
Just as Xuan said, the truck came over the hill and before Qin's eyes, he saw miles of fields being used for farming. Monks were tending to crops or animals and going about day to day chores and still their faces beamed with joy as the day's monotonous tasks went on. But sticking out of the flat farming grounds that went on for miles was what they were heading to, the citadel. Qin was mildly disappointed but still amazed. The grand citadel was not a tall fortress with battlements that went on for miles, it did not have a massive keep that stretched up into the sky. Qin's father had never described it as such, but Qin always imagined it like that. Despite this, awe still struck the lad of sixteen years, along with the rest of his peers. Rather than tall, the citadel was wide and stretched across a large swathe of land. Its ancient walls were painted regularly and looked beautiful but were short and stocky. The temple within the walls was wide and flat topped but angled enough that rains might fall off of it. Although the temple was Buddhist, Durranese animists still treated it as a place of pilgrimage. What seemed like hundreds of other buildings dotted the inside of the fort, a mixture of barracks, store houses and more.
As the truck closed into Yuyan, Xuan made everyone jolt. "Woah! See all those other trucks? They're packed with recruits!" Qin looked up and saw many convoys of trucks coming from many different roads and directions. "I've never seen so many, even in the movies..." Xuan smirked at Qin and replied, "They're from the cities, we've had parades in the street recently encouraging people to join up, you're telling me you didn't see that? You a horse herder or somethin'?" Qin turned to his new friend, "Yeah, did the sweet scent of our national animal tip you off?" Xuan pinched his nose and waved his other hand as he turned back round to sit after gawking at the swarm of trucks, "Oh, my friend, it gave it off somethin' fierce!" The truck once again erupted with laughter. Qin chuckled with the thought that this whole army thing may not be tiring or dull at all with such a lively bunch along the way. This was the right choice. He thought to himself.

Rudony wrote:Rudons Given Sanctuary
Rudon refugees have breathed a sigh of relief as three countries open their borders to healthy and screened refugees. The Empress has expressed her gratitude to Emerstari, Arcadia, Altos and Stratis for their kindness. Meanwhile, she has also expressed understanding to the Kamooko Pact and the PGU, but hopes that a decision is made soon. As healthy refugees begin their journeys, the islands continue to be monitored but unfortunately further attempts to contain the fungus has been met with a shocking discovery. New research into the fungus has led to the realisation that the fungus can spread into saltwater and infect sea fauna and flora.
The fungus has been officially named the Myäwe parasite, translated from Rudonic the name roughly means "Great Devourer". Although the spread underwater is severely limited, research groups find themselves fiercely concerned with the implications. The death toll has risen to 20,704 with the new infected number at 456,708. Rudon clinics, by request of medical services of Markion, has decided to share their knowledge of the fungus. At the moment the standard ways of dealing with fungus are in use such as using excessive amounts of bleach being sprayed on all surfaces. If the infection is discovered early in a victim, use of rubbing alcohol and traditional antifungal creams are entirely viable but do not defend against later infections. If the host is infected for more than a few days to a week then the fungus will have spread too deep into the victim's body and will begin to paralyse the host. At this point, not much can be done beyond easing the passing of the victim. If a victim is exposed to an area which has been filled with Myäwe mushroom spores then the infection process can be sped up to as quick as barely a few hours. Currently, most areas in Rudony are being firebombed with old napalm bombs in order to contain the fungus. This has been the most effective of "cures".

The North Western Alliance had enough. Political threats to Sevevill would do nothing. They do not care. They, like the Arcadians, are still trapped in a dogmatic age where you can take what you want as long as you have bigger guns. The NWA would not stand for this. If the KP were to sit around twiddling their thumbs and leave the empires of Markion to scramble for September Island, then they were only ones who would try to stop them, and free September Island.
September Island, Contested Waters
The fleet had arrived. Finally, after so long, the carrier group had taken the long way through Markion, taken some bruises from Sevevill on the way, but had pulled through. Now a standoff began as the fleet moved into a favourable position. They had a large force, but that force could not be resupplied via regular means. This would need to be a surgical mission. Id they were to succeed, nothing could be wasted, everyone had a job to do, and they couldn't fail.Phoenxia wrote:It was, 2020, gloomy day at the University of Dreyfus, Jordi Maleov walked into an internet cafe to study for his aerophysics class.

NWA Announces Preperation of Intervention Into Xekniya
Today the NWA announced that another carrier group was being mustered to send to Phoenixia and has begun to form up near the military port of Nulaar like the September Carrier Group before them. The Guanjan and Terestroian government has ordered the government of Phoenixia to stand down all military operations in Xekniya immediately in order to facilitate Xekniya's independence from the small rogue nation. If the Phoenixian government does not respond within the week, the NWA will declare war upon Phoenixia and liberate the country in its entirety.
In lighter news, the NWA has announced that it will take in as many Rudon refugees that arrive in either Terestroi or Guanja and will send civilian vessels to transport healthy individuals to Alliance territory. The NWA would now show the world their true colours and power as an alliance in Markion. The days of the SWB, ASAF and KP was over, the NWA would secure a future for a truly free Markion under the democratic rule of a modern and progressive governance.

The Green Union wrote:Kamooko Pact officials have today welcomed representatives from Altos and Stratis to a summit in the Apollo Events Centre, Las Batan, Albatan, coincidentally also the site of the first September Island peace conference. With the uncertainty posed by Sevevillian patrols in the area, there was a great deal of anxiety amongst security planners about what to do in the case of an interception, but all delegates’ planes arrived safely. KP and A&S officials are to meet here in an attempt at reconciliation after recent difficulties.
The Right Honourable Charlotte Fried, still seen as the prime minister of the Green Union and emergent acting leader of the exiled PGU, took some questions from reporters outside the centre where she indicated a desire to settle the score.
“The Altosians and Stratisians have an independent streak which makes them risky to partner with,” She responded after being asked whether these islanders were to be trusted, “but our government will not sign any deal which does not pacify their threat. We will definitely not ignore the harm they have already caused.”
Media in Placeoderms has largely vilified Altos and Stratis for being the first to violate September Island’s neutrality, and therefore bringing Sevevill’s attention there. Albatan, the victim of two separate Sevevillian occupations in the past, has seen public opinion turn anxious at the prospect that they may once again be targets for the Imperial war machine.
The status of the KP “effort” to protect September Island is not giving many people confidence.

Kamooko Pact engineers have been hard at work in Yamakan Ward in Ryune, developing the new service rifle of the Kamooko Defence Command alongside the Yamakan Arms Company, some CR remnants, and Metro Arms. The rifle is looking to be derived from a simplified version of the modular NB-45 rifle currently in service with the Confederate Defence Forces of the CSD. Fortunately, there is already a pattern of rifle which is very close to the required specifications. The PB-45 rifle was developed for the Confederate Defence Forces of the CSD but rejected due to ergonomic concerns. The KDC, interested along the same lines in arming a large force very quickly, has been optimistic about adapting the spartan design for their own purposes.
Like the NB-45, the PB-45 is a bullpup infantry rifle chambered in 4.5x47mm Yamakan. However, very little of the gun is actually compatible with its parent system. The simplified gun operates on a direct impingement system, blowing gas straight into the bolt. It is almost entirely made of polymers and stamped steel all very tightly pieced together, with even “routine” cleaning requiring a screwdriver just to access the bolt. The design is being considered as a fallback rifle for the CSD should another Kalto-Durranese War break out, as a result of its ease of manufacture.
The Kamooko Pact has been working to modify the PB-45 for its own purposes, scaling back some of the more extreme design simplifications and tweaking for parts compatibility with the more common Pact platforms. The first prototypes of the new “K1” rifle were unveiled today in Kamooko, with high and mid level military representatives from all KP members arriving for a demonstration and photo opportunity.
The models displayed were bullpup, right handed only rifles with fairly standard 508mm barrels and non adjustable aperture sights.
Overall, the military brass seemed fairly optimistic when given a chance to see and operate the weapon, though how much of this was merely a show for the cameras is hard to tell.
The Parliamentary Green Union officers displayed some aversion to the crude-looking weapon, particularly its sights and handling, but were appeased when handed a model mounted with their familiar C79 scope. After this, they were impressed with its accuracy potential for a small cartridge, and even hinted at supporting the omission of iron sights altogether in future.
The Placeodermsians were pleased with the compactness of the platform, and especially with the 4.5x47mm cartridge, which is small and lightweight. The Placeodermsians noted that this weapon would be both more compact that their current SCAR line, and more powerful than their Kar. 95G. This, apparently, would be a winning combination in an APC.
The Albatanians seemingly sent one teenaged intern, who proceeded to fire from the hip all the ammunition handed to them before saying “Just like the simulations” and leaving.
The Durranese, used to their more finely finished NB-45, were not entirely happy about holding essentially a less fine version of the same thing but were glad nonetheless that they would not need to change their service rifle or cartridge, more so that others were adopting theirs.

Arcadian States and Commonwealths wrote: The Arcadian government has also issued this apology for the Altara Incidentjust two years ago:" The Arcadian government would like to sincerely apologize for the unprovoked and unwarranted attack that lead to many civilian injuries and to the injuries and deaths of neutral Kamooko Pact soldiers. The Arcadian government is willing to send financial aid to those who were affected by the attack, and to financially support the families of the KP soldiers that were killed in the attack."
Policy towards the September Islands has shifted as well in support of the UCSO-KP coalition to liberate the September Island from occupational forces of the Empire of Sevevill. The Congress of Nations has mandated that the Sevevillian government withdraw from the September Islands in a timely manner agreed apon by all parties. The Arcadian government is also dispatching a carrier strike group in international waters outside of the September Islands within the week.
It seems as if the federation is following itsnew years resolutions, lets see how this new shakeup in policy affects politics globally.
This has been the ANN breaking news bulletin.
Guanja wrote:The North Western Alliance had enough. Political threats to Sevevill would do nothing. They do not care. They, like the Arcadians, are still trapped in a dogmatic age where you can take what you want as long as you have bigger guns. The NWA would not stand for this. If the KP were to sit around twiddling their thumbs and leave the empires of Markion to scramble for September Island, then they were only ones who would try to stop them, and free September Island.
September Island, Contested Waters
The fleet had arrived. Finally, after so long, the carrier group had taken the long way through Markion, taken some bruises from Sevevill on the way, but had pulled through. Now a standoff began as the fleet moved into a favourable position. They had a large force, but that force could not be resupplied via regular means. This would need to be a surgical mission. Id they were to succeed, nothing could be wasted, everyone had a job to do, and they couldn't fail.

The Federation Arcadian States and Commonwealths has stationed a naval task force in the wake of the shipping issues in the Urlias straight, in which your shipping lanes have been blocked by the Empire of Sevevill after several attacks on the sovereignty of your nations. The Federation is willing to escort your shipping lanes and trading ships through this strait, and to protect them from any possible force used against them. Any damage received on your ships from a direct result of Arcadian naval vessels will be reimbursed by the Arcadian Federation.
The Arcadian Royal Navy in the area is on standby awaiting the green light, and more naval vessels can be sent if the need arises. The Arcadian Federation would like to set up a meeting between our officials in a mutually agreed location to further discuss, the situation of the Empire of Sevevill, and Arcadian-Kamooko relations.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Drago Zevnik, had this to say in response to the Guanjan and Terestroi order...
“On behalf of the Greater Drejveškan Union and on behalf of the Autarch Ferdinand Tennfjord the Autocracy of Slaveška wishes to see a more diplomatic solution to the Xekinyan crisis. I invite diplomats from both nations to meet here in our great nation to find a diplomatic answer to this problem. Third party mediators will be assigned to ensure talks go over smoothly. We look forward to both nations responses.”
After stepping down from the podium the Minister of War, Niko Gjorov, stepped on and began his speech...
“We sincerely hope to solve this diplomatically and avoid bloodshed as there is enough of it going on within the Drejveškan Region. I highly suggest that alternative methods be used before military force. Our Navy and Air Force will be standing at the ready waiting for a call we hope does not come.

Guanja wrote:NWA Refuses Peace Talks
The NWA made their own announcement today stating bluntly and clearly that they have made their decision and have given Phoenixia a diplomatic option which would mean the expulsion of all Phoenixian armed forces from Xekniya. NWA officials went on to say that their plans to intervene in the country will go on as planned. At the time of the announcement, the NWA's combined forces have formed up in Nulaar, a Guanjan port city, and will immediately begin their journey to intervene in the violent conflict and bring it to an end. However, quite surprisingly, the NWA has offered the GDU a place in this intervention process. The Sultan of Guanja added in his speech about the situation that if there is no need for conflict, then surely there is no need for conflict in Xekniya as well. Finally, the Terestroian King has sent a diplomatic attache to the GDU in order to discuss a more important matter concerning a certain communist problem...
