Yayyyy, I guess I probably should not even ponder how your government is going to react to this incident. You're too obvious of a case for me. I don't need to even ask you.

Accepted.

Accepted.

Oh? How do you think it'll react?

Something between the lines of the sort of coming out for condemning my government, to tightening the screws of sanctions laid against my country to full-on cutting diplomatic ties with my government.

fuck it, why not?

Planning on investigating alongside Palmyrion to see if this actually was the work of the Cassadian government or not, since it will better inform the actions of people on both sides. As for involvement past that... Probably too small to really affect anything.

I'm interested in joining this investigation, if I'm allowed to. It will better inform our actions too.

Will try to make a post later on in the day.

I'll get a post up, working with Palmy on where intel boys will go to actually plan out this investigation.

Hello,

I was wondering if a large continental union that is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy with very strong ties in terms of economics (a pluricontinental free trade area), military alliance, and common political and cultural values to a certain world-spanning thalassocracy would be acceptable to this story.

That continental union is the North American Union. That will be my IC name.

The NAU is an Amistad signatory.

The NAU would initially be conducting intelligence-gathering operations on the OP's theocracy to potentially expand to include armed force. This would assist investigating the assassination of the Qassadian defector and her family in Palmyrion with other nations as well as attempting to get more information about the GRB directly with informants while in Qassadia.

Splendid, I like this. That is why you’re accepted : D

I wish you plenty of unluck in your endeavors in my country. The GRB and law-enforcement will make sure of that.

Posted. Noting @Qassadia, how likely is it that the P.F.R./Cassadia have embassies in each others' countries?

I don't imagine our countries to have mutual full Diplomatic Missions other than a consulate in each of our nations. Anyway, I loved your post and I hope that you keep up the good work.

I'll use that assumption of maintaining consulates for the time being, so Cassadia has a North American consulate in Carthage and its own consulate in New York.

Qassadia, may we discuss a storytelling element that involves one of my operatives in Cassadia? Telegram?

Since your nation is a member of the Amistad pact, I would not see any reason as to why IC, Cassadia would have a foreign mission to your country or vice verca, since I am sure you know that the Amistad pact demands of its signatories to be in a state of war with countries like my own.

As for having NAU inserting any operative into my nation, that would be very tricky, extremely so since citizens of Amistad members are not allowed to enter the country for obvious reasons unless you have individual nationals be explicitly invited, and even then, they would be put under watch by the security services around which they would not be able to sneak around in between the cracks. Much less contact any “resistance groups” which if I say so myself are not some GRB honeypot to attract people with actual ideas and values to the Abolitionist Army.

Other than that, great post, but you should edit it so as to reflect the actual IC facts between our states.

Ah yes, for the diplomatic representation, definitely. That will be removed; perhaps I'll have the NAU start considering attacks on Cassadia's merchant marine, to keep the tension high, but something like that won't be expressly endorsed by the Grand Council though the NAU recognizes that it may need more than diplomatic pressure. The NAU will start considering military options in light the ongoing Cassadian exercises.

As to operatives, the NAU will have to get creative. On the level of Netflix's "The Spy" is what I'm thinking. If you haven't seen it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spy_(TV_series), and the main guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Cohen

How would you feel about a Cassadian trade agent for your Merchant Marine that gets into the bed with Siloviki and the GRB for smuggling things in and out of Cassadia?

As to resistance groups, it seems like they go have very deep underground just to survive. But the NAU has had successes in finding its domestic terror groups, the Sons of Liberty.

Would it be all right to assume that "New Carthage" has somewhat less of your securocratic presence compared to mainland?

The actual resistance groups, particularly the Abolitionist Army is not in any position to establish contacts with whoever that be, considering they are more preoccupied with their own survival. Not to mention that it is highly likely whatever operatives you send will be entrapped into a ''honeytrap'' cell that was set up by the security services.

Addressing your idea about contacting insurgents groups in Cassadia. I would not be able to stop you in that aspect, that if you are fine with providing material support to a literal IS affiliate, or to other insurgent groups that are cut off from basically the same cloth.

Infiltrating Cassadia's smuggling network would be equally risky as the GRB is extremely picky with whom they work, especially as the central infrastructure to the entire operation is located within the geographical confines of Krillin, a place where they're pretty well aware of who is who, and what is going on, particularly when national from out-of-region states are involved.

Attacking merchant marine vessels I am sure you know is an act of piracy and thus an act of war, same as with a blockade which is going to be heavily contested by the Royal Navy and Air Force and I am sure you know that would require a rather large and extensive fleet that will be impossible to not be detected and tracked. Unlike Saddam Hussein, Cassadia won't sit idly by as hostile forces are marshaled to be positioned for the kill at its doorstep.

I suddenly realized Cassadia was a slaver state. Then I realized that my ruling party's ideology believes the best foreign policy is the one based on realpolitik, sooooo, I CAN continue being friendly.

[The Reformed American Republic]

I think I'd be interested in the RP.

Population: 300 Million people. Similar stats to the RL U.S.A without the desire for intervention or war. Will not go to war for the mere reason of "regime change" even though my country finds Qassadia's governance despicable. Will condemn this incident and call for sanctions and allow people to immigrate to my nation, but my nation does not want war and has its own domestic problems to deal with.

While I would be more than glad to accept you. The problem here lies with @NAU who has taken up the place of your entire country IC (as a successor to the British Empire and with the 13 Colonies never seceding).

But I would like to hear more about @NAU's opinion on this, if he so chooses to either withdraw or stay on the thread. That is not up to me, since it will be very rude if I were to not consider his post no longer IC.

@NAU: I will very much appreciate your thoughts on this.

@Reformed American Republic: I will love to have you accepted, but I will need to ask @NAU on this considering your nation is lore-wise taken up by his own.

If this is going to be problematic (and it reads like it will be), please just disregard my previous post.

I'd prefer if @NAU gets to have his word on this. I am not into ejecting RPers after they have signed up, and I have had them accepted.
