Nightmare Over Mokov OOC |TWI-Only

[Havalland]

Perhaps we could have a tsarist rebel and journalist attempting to gather information and escape to Havalland or other free nations.

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.

That would be very interesting to see

That could be an interesting manhunt story as he flees, trying to rely on people and not getting turned over to the forces looking for him

[Mokov]

Yeah, cool. But I warn that there will be repercussions should you kill someone.

[Havalland]

I would be more focused on avoiding people anyways

Why is there a lone regimentalist wondering the countryside?

[Mokov]

the regimentalist came from the regimental office in the town the family found

[Shanzie]

the regimentalist came from the regimental office in the town the family found

Ah ok. Just so you know, I do plan for them to survive this ordeal lol

Also, your episodes of violence are REALLY public. Like, surely reports would get out about this stuff

[Mokov]

the violence only really lasted a day and a bit, before the Regime put a stop to it, and any blame for it ends up being pinned on Tsarist rebels

[Shanzie]

Per our discord conversation, these questions, among others, REALLY need to be answered for there to be a good RP in the following days form this.




I think you should take like ten seconds and write a basic timeline of what led to this moment in Mokov in the OOC thread. I would suggest just giving a paragraph regarding each decade since 1900 just to let us understand how this happened and what the prejudices are and where the Regimentalists are getting their power. And also, are borders closed? what's going on in terms of official policy in Mokov right now? Is the internet shut off in as many ways as possible throughout this? Are the Regimenalists forming camps or just letting the people go ham on KK looking folks? what are foreign nationals that aren't KK being treated like? What is the extent of their control and power at this early stage of the Coup?

Ultimately, what are the goals of the Regimentalists in the coming days? How is that being acted on right now? and how is that going to affect the situation on the ground right now? are KKs being rounded up and arrested? Shot on sight? what?

[Mokov]

A brief timeline (I'll write a more detailed one later) is as such:

1910 - Mokov gains independence from the KK empire following a brief war

1911- The Kingdom of Mokov is established, with Alexei XXII serving as Krōl, or King

1928 - Krōl Alexei is assassinated by pro-democracy rebels, leaving his 8 year old son Ivan XII as Krōl.

1930 - Krōl Ivan XII is deposed by a military coup, and the Mokovī Republic is declared

1934 - Communist revolutionaries launch a coup on the Státni Ryda, seizing power and declaring the Mokovī People's Republic, under the dictatorial rule of Yegor Kalintov

1934, cont. - Simultaneous rebellions against Kalintov's government results in the Mokovī civil war, with the Trosrod Republic taking the southern third of Mokov, along with the capital city of Ivanozavodsk, forcing Kalintov to relocate his government to Nový Litkov. The Grey Legion of Igor Markeviç take the western third of the island, establishing the Mokovī Regimental Republic.

1935 - the Civil War begins in full, with brutal fighting on all fronts.

1937 - The Trosrod Republic collapses under an assault on all fronts by the MPR, Bohdan Federov, Hetman of the Republic is captured and executed by the MPR

1951 - the now 31 Ivan XII, with Havallish support, launches an invasion of Mokov

1954 - Ivan XII unifies Mokov and crowns himself Tsar Ivan I of the Holy Tsardom of Mokov, but is unable to root out the bandit problems left over from the Lawless period

1966 - Ivan I dies of terminal brain cancer, leaving the throne to his 19 year old son Zvonimir IV

1974 - Thanks to the incompetence of Zvonimir IV, the Mokovī economy crashes violently, causing a famine and widespread revolts

The answers to the rest of your questions, in order:

The borders are closed, except for special exceptions and for refugees fleeing Mokov, official policy is that in order to stabilize the country some rights must be suspended, the internet has been shut off in Mokov in order to assist the return of stability, KKs are arrested for bogus offenses and being sent to KORTAG camps, while lynch mobs are discouraged by the Regime, other foreign nationals are treated fine, but encouraged to either leave or apply for Mokovī citizenship, and the current power of the GZR is absolute in the higher up levels of government, but much looser the lower you go. The goals of the GZR for the next few weeks is just a program of stabilization and the rooting out of rebel groups from major cities.

[Shanzie]

1. Your history mainly looks over the personal history of some people while not really giving the conditions that caused the issue in the first place. For instance, how bad has the economic collapse affected your country? Have you mostly recovered or are you still in the throws of what would be a decades long decline despite periods of growth? What was the ultimate reason that the GZR got the support it did? These questions are really necessary for the RP, but for the long term plans you have with this change.

2. What is their territorial control like? you talk of a hastily redone townhall and a patrolling regimentalist, but what is their presence in this town my family is in and what is the level of organized presence throughout the nation? Was the coup a massive national plan that took complete control of the country within hours?

Edit: on 1. I meant to say ARENT necessary

[Mokov]

The economic collapse was catastrophic, and resulted in Weimar Germany levels of hyperinflation and poverty. Mokov has yet to recover from this crash, and is still feeling the effects today. The GZR became popular thanks to the writing of Pavel Markeviç, and a concentrated effort towards gaining the trust of the impoverished masses through the use of populist propaganda and fearmongering. By pointing at the KK in Mokov and the Tsarists as the reason for the massive poverty of the country, they were able to gain the support of a large portion of the country. The military was onboard with the GZR thanks to the extreme militarism of Regimentalism, and the connections the GZR's leaders had to the military. Their territorial control is stronger around major cities, but they have bases in every population center of over 150 people. The coup was a mass uprising, taking place first in Ivanozavodsk, and then nation-wide. Even if the Siege of the Gold Palace was lifted, most of the main institutions of the country were in GZR hands, and a majority of the military mutinied. If the Tsar hadn't surrendered, or if the Ivanozavodsk uprising failed, it is likely there would have been civil war.

the internet has been shut off in Mokov in order to assist the return of stability

Before the disconnection, what was the internet like in Mokov? Because i have an idea of foreign companies that were in Mokov to try and help build up internet infrastructure and during this lock down, the private property of these companies were seized and the workers either expelled or detained during the "leave or become a citizen" panic. The individuals could be detained under suspicion of trying to use the services they were installing to spread misinformation, causing the internet blackout.

[Mokov]

The internet activity of Mokov was fairly prolific before the shutdown, but serious anti-regime sentiments caused it to be closed off. As for the rest of ur idea hmu tomorrow

[Eurania]

So...after some discussion with you Mokov, these are our notes.

• After the OOC fallout, in your bilateral RP Shine of the Moon, Eurania is now the destination of smuggled liquor, weapons, and other contraband.
• The capture of a member of this international crime ring by the Metropolitan Police Service provokes a diplomatic incident; Mokov demands the release of the smuggler, a Mokovi citizen, while Eurania refuses. Public opinion against Mokov, which had been growing over the weeks, spikes.
• Approximately two weeks after, negotiations between GE and Mokov result in an accord guaranteeing the protection of Khas-Kiratis and Ipachis wishing to seek refuge in Eurania, while GE recognizes Mokov's Regimentalist government.

Anything you'd like to add?

[Mokov]

Nope, sounds perfect to me!

Since I am finally able to access forums, I will be here observing stuff.
