Nightmare Over Mokov OOC |TWI-Only

[Mokov]

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=494747&p=38022991&sid=a979bee89815af1f75071f1e8e240372#p38022991

A brutal new regime has taken power in Mokov, and seeks to wipe out all that it sees as degenerate. Mokov has fallen under the baleful gaze of the Black Sun, and soon, that gaze will move to encompass the world.
Violence and paramilitary crackdowns on undesirables are ramping up by the day, and there is no telling when they will stop. Use this thread to discuss story ideas and whatnot.

[Shanzie]

hey, soooo I do need three things to do this: A short description of the Regime, a description of what they will be hunting and who they will be sparing, and a short description of their religious beliefs.

[Mokov]

The regime is an extremely totalitarian and racist one. Super-nazi is a fitting description. They're primarily going after racial minorities in Mokov, mainly the Khas-Kirati. And the religion of Mokov has pretty much been subverted into worship of the state.

So you're less "super-Nazi" and more Juche? ok

Soooo I'm gonna have a Sanghoran woman (they look very much like Khas Kirati as they are descended from them only by a couple hundred years). I'll look over your national factbooks and see what I can do.

[Mokov]

No, Regimentalism is basically SS-Nazism, pushed up to 11

[Shanzie]

So, here's my idea:

A Mokovi Businessman named Mikhail (44) married a Sanghoran Buddhist woman named Kveta Danka (37) after they met in Yonghe, Sanghora, Shanzie at the age of 30. He is well connected in the Mokovi owned enterprises in Shanzie, but chose to return home, taking his wife with him. Under the former government, he got the marriage recognized and Kveta became a permenant resident. Since then, they have had three kids. Their oldest son Ionnes (12), and the twins, Andreeva and Katerin (6).

Up until the recent powergrab by the revolutionaries, the family lived a good life. But being a first generation immigrant to a nation on the cusp of racial war has hardly allowed Kveta any rest. Despite learning the language, in the last year many shops refused to sell to her, many restaurants refused to seat her and her children, and school staff give her a difficult time. Even though they had been in the country for years, Kveta begged her husband to return to Sanghora. But even as she convinced him, the coup took place. In just two short hours, Kveta's hopes of getting home were dashed. Now, unable to leave, they wait to see what happens.

[Eurania]

Mokov, we discussed on discord DMs the involvement of Eurania in the post-Regimentalist era. We basically dived into three parts;

• Following the collapse of the Tsarist regime and the rise of the Regimentalist regime, some Euranian companies and businesses (particularly massive ones analogous to the concept of chaebols), already known for shady business practices, began schemes to turn the chaotic nation into what was essentially a de-facto corporate colony, much like the Congo Free State.
• During their time in Mokov, these megacorporations would exploit the populace (factories, mining, etc) and the resources (oil, and again, mining), essentially engaging in plunder. These megacorporations would bring jobs, a semblance of stability (with PMC contractors providing security), but in the end would only pocket the profit without much regard for the well-being of the people of Mokov
• The post-Regimentalist regime, run by a coalition of kleptocratic officials, frequently would be bribed to allow such corporate and commercial exploitation of Mokov to run unchecked. Eventual disagreements would lead to this kleptocratic regime's downfall and a subsequent limbo, coupled with mounting public concern in Eurania over these alleged abuses.

With that, it should be noted that we're still planning and we can update this. Anything you'd like to input?

[Mokov]

Not much, but perhaps those megacorporations could get their foot in the door while the Regimentalists are still in power. Mokov needs legitimacy right now, and foreign business might just be the thing that gets it legitimacy in the eyes of the world.

Far fewer would associate, much less do business with, a fascist totalitarian regime, even through their subsidiaries. The Regimentalists won't be able to receive legitimacy from them.

[Mokov]

Just throwing out ideas.

That will probably be their downfall, you know? a lack of legitimacy sees them last only a couple of months under withering sanctions and threats of intervention.

[Aizcona]

Well Mokov, I believe some backroom dealings are in order. Economic exploitation for protection at the international level. Until the regime stabilizes itself Aizcona would be unable to offer official military protection, but there would likely be the heavy implication. It would be quite fun to get Aizconan operatives to help root out dissent in Mokov to help stabilize the government though

[Mokov]

Hey, if you keep Mokov from collapsing under the reactionary world governments, you will get plenty of cheap resources and labor in Mokov.

[Aizcona]

Much to do then. Plus it'll be nice to stabilize you and likely have a western defense against threats. Plus there are likely other useful things to come out of this

Perhaps I didn't dig into this too much. After looking at some orthodox and unorthodox shady business practices, I throw my hat for commercial support of the regime...not for ideology, but for profit; this would apply to the succeeding post-Regimentalist regime.

[Roendavar]

The Roendavarian embassy in Mokov would still be operational and will be accepting refugees, secretly or not depends on Mokov's policy on this kind of dealings. If I were to write IC, I would focus on the refugee crisis, humanitarian activities, and espionage considering I have already established Roendavar's own spy agency, the Agents of the Rose, which answer to the Roendavarian crown.

Maybe I could disguise my spies as humanitarian workers and gather intel on Mokov? That could work as well. Have on the ground experience on what's really happening in Mokov.

[Mokov]

Go right ahead!

[Serpens Land]

I might not write very much, but I'd like to write about the Serpens Land Embassy in Mokov. During this time we'd still be accepting visa applications to Serpens Land, and providing means for Serpens Land nationals to return home. How strict is travel in Mokov at the moment?

[Domanania]

I think Domanania would be extremely against the super-naziism taking control. The depth at which we would get involved is still up for discussion. The bare minimum would be to supply any resistance groups with arms and humanitarian aid.

[Mokov]

More facts about Mokov, that will be made IC knowledge when necessary:

There are a number of rebel groups operating within Mokov, following different ideologies.

The Regime is going to hold a referendum on the dictatorship once stability is achieved

The Regime maintains that any refugee or Mokovī defector says is not to be trusted, as they are Tsarist agents working against Mokov

The KORTAG camps are being reactivated, but publicly, they are being converted into military bases to deal with Mokov's bandit problems

Any other news of atrocities is just lies spread by Havallish spies to discredit the Regime

[Aizcona]

The KORTAG camps are being reactivated, but publicly, they are being converted into military bases to deal with Mokov's bandit problems

Just for clarification, what are the KORTAG camps?

[Segentova]

Segentova should have started evacuation efforts a few days ago, lol. Gonna be exfiltrating nationals and asylum seekers. I'll have something out on it in the next week as i assume this is gonna be a lengthy RP with some room to jump in.

[Mokov]

The KORTAG camps are being reactivated, but publicly, they are being converted into military bases to deal with Mokov's bandit problems

Just for clarification, what are the KORTAG camps?

KORTAG camps are the Mokovī equivalent of the GULAGs, built in the 40's to house political prisoners by the MPR under Kalintov

Interesting, I'm sure I'll be able to contribute to some stories involving those

[Segentova]

As i don't know that Segentova and Mokov have much history in common, i assume Segentova only maintains a consulate or mission in Mokov. When i do enter the RP i'll be telling their side of the story, withessing the happenings arround them, handling a humanitarian crisis, maybe close encounters with the GZR and rebel-groups? They're likely to bolt at some point considering the imminent consolidation of the GZR's power and fear for their own safety.

An idea I have for RN is the building maybe being laid under siege by civilians who are either riled-up fanatics or refugees who are desperate to flee, and the and the security-team having to open fire in order for the building not to get overrun, some nice tragedy.
