The following are some Judean-wide roleplays currently going on. This list is by no means all of the ongoing role-plays, just a brief highlight of some intriguing RPs that are apart of the myriad of roleplays going on in Judea.

72 Hours

The possibly falsified unveiling of a secret source within the Solmian government by a Tergnitizan journalist sets the stage for a Judean regional war as the alleged Noocracy’s corruption is revealed to the world. Disgusted by the extent of the Solmian vice, several nations break away from the Sanctum and form the Judean Order of Nations, an alliance dedicated to the ideals of purity, honesty and brotherhood. Although, the Judean Sanctum, the alliance that was built for democracy and frankness charge this new alliance with falsifying the corruption allegations and provoking a regional war. Concerned over the recent set of events, the Solmian government begins an unprecedented military build-up around the world to convince JON nations to refrain from any aggressive movements. Thus, 72 Hours after the initial news story breaks; Judea descends into the madness of conflict from which none will emerge unscathed.

[Solm]

There is a new era developing in the majestic lands. Once again the brotherhood of angels is plunged into the chaos of war, internal strife distracting us from the aggression of those who once more look hungrily towards Judea, the imperialist spark bright within their eyes. We are those who would be the targets of these foreign aggressors, we are those who would be left as Judea tears itself apart as Brother fights Brother in a Judean civil war. We are those who would be the target of those who would seek to hold territory within this majestic land of ours. They who would attempt to capitalise on the strife that riddles us.

Individually we are weak, but together we cannot be broken. We are the people of Judea and we will stand together as a united front.

We are the
Judean People’s Front

We, the undersigned, hereby form the Judean People’s Front, an alliance created in order to stem foreign aggression within Judea. We, the Judean People’s Front, shall employ a Free Trade Agreement between other members of the Front, so that we can support ourselves to the fullest extent and have the materials and resources needed so that we will be able to defend ourselves in the event of an attack upon our sovereign selves. This Free Trade Agreement shall assist the signatory nations of the Front to build their economy up in an effort to heighten out nation’s level of infrastructure. The Judean People’s Front shall also serve as a Mutual Defense Pact. We shall stand together, as our own Brotherhood, to protect the member-nations of the Front from becoming colonial possessions, to prevent us from becoming the stepping stone from where foreigners shall arrive upon our majestic shores.

In an effort to create a fast response to any foreign invasion, the Judean People’s Front shall create a quick response task force that can be deployed anywhere in Judea within thirty-six hours. This force shall be made up of units from each of the Front’s member-nations and can be based in any member-nation of the Front. If any member-nation of the Front is attacked, all member-nations are required to respond with all force. An attack against one of the Brethren of Front is attack against the entire Front.

The Judean Union

The region of Judea, or the "Majestic Lands" to those that reside there, was once a grand collection of nations that held high the morals of unity, brotherhood, and cooperation. The Majestic Lands, a utopia that once prided itself on its demonym of Judean, did not last long, however. The emergence of two supranational entities within Judea, the Judean Order of Nations and the Judean Sanctum, organizations that ironically swore to protect Judea, almost led Judea straight to its downfall. Allies became enemies and brother was pitted against brother. The two alliances were destined to come into conflict with each other, and that conflict would scar Judea forever.

After a war with casualties of biblical proportions between JON and Sanctum ripped through Judea, several nations from both alliances grew discontent with the constant conflict between the two organizations. These disheartened nations felt that the two alliances were merely extensive mutual defense agreements rather than true united organizations. Not only were these nations at odds with their enemies, but with their own allies. No true unity existed in JON and Sanctum. There was no common ideology. Some nations, usually the more militarily powerful nations, dominated the alliances. Finally, several nations from both JON and Sanctum parted with their allies to find greater opportunity, and, hopefully, an organization that would conceive a truly united Judea. Several of these now-neutral nations held a convention on the IFI Zone. The nations attending the convention made it clear what they wanted: a formal unity between all Judean nations. This sparked an idea, which sparked a plan to create a new alliance where all members would be ensured the equal rights and benefits that they deserved. The Judean Union, as it was to be called, was officially brought into being during these so-called "Judean Sea Accords". It is ironic that a supranational entity such as the JU was born from the ashes of two nearly identical organizations. Yet the JU was different from its predecessors. It was a truly unified alliance. All member-states, regardless of economic or military power or size in population or land, were equal and were given the same privileges that the others were given. These courageous nations that conceived the Judean Union were the original members, and were bound in blood to the commonwealth and to Judea itself, the land that was still loved and cherished.

The Judean Union is not contained within the borders of a single nation; it is a supranational entity that is run efficiently by its member-nations that extends far beyond mutual defense. The Union aids its constituents in trade, foreign affairs, and domestic issues. It is a commonwealth of nations dedicated to lasting peace and unity within the region of Judea. The leadership of the commonwealth is divided into two distinct political bodies: the Judean Union Senate and the Security Council of the Judean Union. The Judean Union Senate is the main system of JU's governance. The Senate debates and votes on issues regarding the commonwealth's operation. All decisions, regardless of their importance, are made democratically through voting by the JU's member-states. The JU Senate is comprised of representatives from each of the commonwealth's nations. To ensure that one nation does not wield too much power within the halls of the JU Senate, each nation is allowed one representative, or seat, and one vote on a bill or issue. The Senate also appoints a Chief Representative, who makes sure that the Senate's business is conducted in an orderly manner. Other duties of the Chief Representative range from representing the JU at public events to being the JU's main dignitary on diplomatic missions. The Security Council is fore mostly concerned with the defense of the commonwealth and the coordination of non-defensive operations between member-states, amongst other roles. The Security Council maintains a firm stance on voluntary membership; member-states of the Judean Union can elect to be a permanent or rotating member of the Security Council. A member-state also can elect not to join the Security Council at no penalty whatsoever. The leader of the Security Council is an elected Security Chief, who works to coordinate the military capabilities of nations and to abide by the leadership of the Judean Union Senate.

Oh, if it isn't my fellow Monarchist Rival... *plots in the back-room*

[Hobit]

Eternity, a news magazine, summed up the Hobitan Dream in it's June 1934 article about the future of Hobit;

... and it's the conclusion that the people of Hobit strive towards success. The history of the nation has been powered by innovation, hope, compassion, and even greed. By looking at all the fairy tales told to us by our parents and grandparents, we realize that the Hobitan Dream has been handed down by generation. The Lion's Boy tells of the Dream in clarity; '... and Lucas stepped towards the King and begged for release of his friend, Leo. The King asked Lucas why he risked his life so that this beast could live, and Lucas had replied that the lion had given him a home, family, a future, and food, and that was all he could ask for.' It's therefore been handed down that the Hobitan Dream is to have a home in which the family can look towards the future and strive towards a simple life.

Emperor Peter the Great gave a speech about Judean Unification in 1973 at the University of Cornell-Vartan during the Quiet Revolution. Following is an expert from that speech;

I have but one dream to see in my life; a united Judea. A Judea where my people can travel freely without worrying of oppression and discrimination. It is my hope this is put forth.

It's a wonderful morning in the Canal City, it's 6:30, and here's the news.

With THRACE's large profits from Regional Sales the Group is increasing it's intrest in the international stage with potential sales tagged in some of our Allies in the Soverign Empire Coalition.

Closer to home the National Broadband Network is almost up and running. The NBN will connect all of Trivval, strengthening Internet speeds and opening many servers, and jobs, on the mainland and Aberdale Isles. The Program is hoping to tag the IT workforce up in the top jobs for this finacial year.

And it has been dangerous on the roads last night, with 6 dead and 23 wounded as a bus rolled in the Zano Alps. During the dark hours of last night, a Alp Coachline Bus was hit by another vehical, pushing the bus off the road and over the side of the mountain. It came to a rest several hundred meters down the side after hitting a rocky outcrop. The police are looking for the driver of Blue Machovich Truck, with the number plate 89TA-GG11.

That's the news, you're now up to date.
