Within the maximum security complex of the Western Evan Empire Labor Camps:
IC Thread Here
Jean Milius Vasilev never had much of a respect for authority, nor the capitalistic system he found himself a part of. Vasilev came from a life in and out of poverty and limited financial options, mostly due do his efforts against the system that worked against him. A history of theft from pompous upper income estates and even some weapon sales underneath the eye of the Evan Empire's Department of Police Justice to various underground organizations had supported him financially much of his unemployed, mostly uneducated adult life.
Somewhat as a product of his upbringing Vasilev always found himself at odds with the Evan Empire's system, even since his adolescence he found that school only served to teach him how to fall in line with the corporate powers above him and did nothing to serve him as an independent human being. Vasilev always had dreams wherein every member of society was guaranteed success and sustenance from a government instead of a greedy government providing citizens a pile of options to survive against a sea of greedy corporate snakes. So instead he surrounded himself with like minded people who also despised the corporate system of the Evan Empire and instead supported milking the rich and pompous while interacting with various underground movements against their oppressors.
When one of the underground organizations he had ties with self proclaimed as “We the People” offered a chance to truly make a difference in the fight of socialism against the Evan Empire's capitalism, he took it. The mission: eliminate the political and administrative face of the Evan Empire, Emperor Evan Lee Barrineau himself to help destabilize the country and help give rise to a socialist movement. After months of preparation the stage was set and Vasilev found himself at the end of an unregistered sniper rifle scoped in on the enemy of his ideology as he stood conversing with another member of high status foreign government visiting the capitol.
In this moment a member of The Emperor's personal guard found his position and the situation sped up tremendously. In a matter of moments the guardsman began to hurry the Emperor towards cover as a splinter of Police monitoring the event began ascending the building towards his position. In the hurried moment Vasilev took his shot at his enemy, but incredibly a member of the Emperor's personal guard upon seeing the muzzle flash threw himself into the oncoming bullet at the last possible moment. As Vasilev stood upon the rooftop with his sidearm police forces finally barreled onto the rooftop and fired multiple rounds into his legs and torso, inches away from killing him as Vasilev merely fired and struck the arm of an oncoming officer who tackled him to the ground.
It was through this series of events that Vasilev found himself in his current state doing the one thing he hated most: maximum security forced labor machining steel poles for the very government he hated. There was one upside though, he was now in closer contact than ever with the socialist organization “We the People” and it's thousands of followers who also found themselves on the two island labor camps, and under the cover of secrecy something big was beginning to take shape to finally bring to life a perfect socialist state.
Greetings! I’m the Evan Empire and this thread is meant to revolve around a revolt in the two large Island Labor Camps(Falkland Islands) in the Southeastern part of the Evan Empire. These islands serve as an alternative to common imprisonment as well as death punishment wherein convicted criminals have to work in order to repay their debts to society. The conflict stems from a socialist organization named “We the People” inspiring a revolt in the two islands and will eventually form a new island-state headed by the inmate/character Jean Milius Vasilev.
The Overthrow:
The RP is going to start just prior to the revolt, wherein the mainland members of “We the People” will stage near the Southeast coast with various commercial and personal vessels and word of the revolt and underhand weapons/supplies will spread between members within the labor camps. It is during this time that ties with international sympathizers of “We the People” will be formed and your own plans for the island can be hashed out. Then as the right moment comes the revolt will commence and inmates will quickly overthrow the martial force on the island as well as scuttle or capture any weapons including the Naval Group of 6 vessels present at the Western Labor Camp’s Port Lock. Regarding the naval vessels it will follow the standard naval group pattern of the Evan Empire including an aircraft carrier with 36 aircraft, 2 missile cruisers, 2 support vessels carrying supplies/helicopters/armored vehicles, as well as a submarine. Due to the limited experience of the inmates to fly aircraft the carrier will be scuttled at the mouth of Port Lock to help delay any EE subs from entering later and the sub already present will be destroyed by the underwater mine system within Port Lock’s command as it is overtaken. During this confusion the large number of “We the People” stationed at the Southeastern coast of the Evan Empire will make the journey to the island loaded with further supplies, weapons, and funds to help the cause.
A map of the EE can be found here.
Post-Overthrow:
Now as for the revolt I plan to personally steer most of it but as everything gets into order and Jean Milius Vasilev takes power I’ll shift the lead to an RP’er with whatever plans for the brand new Socialist island-state. The RP’er can also provide a name for the island in the application posted below. Now during this time the Evan Empire will have probably started to plan an invasion of the island to return power back to the EE so the island is going to soon need the backing and support of international military powers seeking to maintain the sovereignty of the island-state and/or claim it as their own. Of course anyone interested in helping to stop this and align with the Evan Empire can do so as well.
Summary
In essence this thread is designed as a socialist vs capitalist / revolution vs establishment clash centered around the new island-state that presents opportunity to spread a nation's economic ideology or possibly to gain a new addition to their borders. I’m looking for around 3 nations in support of the Evan Empire in regaining the islands and around 3 or more nations in support of the new island-state. EE Supporting nations could also look into aligning with the EE’s National Coalition of Defense Economy. The Island-state supporting RP’er who I approve will take the reigns after the revolt may also want to consider making a temporary new nationstates nation to RP from.
List of Nations:
In support of the new island-state:
-Cedoria
-United Federation of Alonso
-Democratic Socialist Republic of Oskano
-United Socialist Republics of Provincial America
In support of the Evan Empire:
-The Balthorist Republic of Nogodia
-Spektronia
-The Hoosier Alliance
-Reorganisieren Reichregierung
Rules:
- General NS Rules apply
- Encouraged to not use nationstates stats, or instead limit your nation’s total forces to be similar to a modern IRL nation’s military forces. I’d also recommend keeping an eye on fellow RP’ers (such as me) to get an idea on total force sizes.
- MT tech meaning military and domestic tech available in the current or quite soon, I’d also recommend slightly less than MT for a nation's military forces as a whole to better reflect the tech of the nation’s military forces as due to older hardware mixed into service in virtually all modern militaries. A basic guide to some MT tech can be found here: MT Stats and Tech.
- Please refrain from number spamming and swarm tactics, keep numbers realistic to modern military deployments and also keep in mind that maintenance, transportation, supplies, runway/carrier deck space, and turnaround are all factors in the size of forces that can be deployed in total as well as in a given encounter.
- When RP’ing don’t godmod - ie don’t make moves without giving other RP’ers time to react and post a response/losses. Cannot make IC decisions based on OOC knowledge, keep in mind the information and viewpoint that your nation/leaders have.
-A good system to go by when posting military action is to post an action and wait for the recipient to RP the results. For example I fire some anti-shipping harpoon missiles, I wait for the other RP’er to post their actions and or their losses. If in doubt always use this OOC to clear things up.
- Along the same lines as godmodding, don’t metagame - ie don’t make moves designed strictly for personal gain, instead make moves that follow your nation’s/character’s story and tendencies and make sure that OOC knowledge doesn't affect IC decisions.
- Also keep in mind the limits of surveillance, for example satellites and spies can only accomplish so much surveillance and satellites especially are very vulnerable if not completely out of the picture in wartime. Make sure to apply this information to the amount of information that your leaders have.
- It’s fine for your nation to have nuclear weapons and also to use them as a bargaining tool in talks but under no circumstances can they be used.
- Use common sense when attacking other players forces and locations. Make sure to think through offensive operations to avoid being caught “with your pants down”. For example planting a special forces force far behind enemy lines without a valid escape route probably won’t end well for your forces no matter their skill. Same goes for naval and aerial action.
- My word as the OP is final in regards to what can and cannot be done in this thread, I’d also take advice seriously too as I’m the one that kinda sets up the environment of do’s and don'ts in essence. If unsure about something always ask in OOC and I can help clear stuff up.
Application:
Good luck and most of all have fun!
