The Bastion Arsenal Affair (OOC OPEN)

Postby Horrwich » Thu Sep 26, 2024 6:41 pm

IC:https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=556148


Write up
In the vastness of the world there are many relatively unknown nations, some keeping to this fog of obscurity for all its existence. However, on rare occasions events will transpire that break this veil thrusting a nation into the front stage of the world. This is one such event...

Story

While officially called the Kingdom of Horrwich, the country has rightly earned the title of a rogue nation. Its corrupted King, Bernard Dowten has pivoted the nation towards illicit actives that break many international laws and treaties. This has included counterfeiting currencies of the world to arms dealings. However, these actions could always be played off with weak connections tying it back to the government and any loose ends being squared away in the middle of the night. That is until a whistleblower, a Dr. Sherman Ven, escaped the country and has been making the rounds telling the world what the Horrwich officials have been creating.

Bastion Arsenal, for most of its life was officially a weapon storage facility for the Horrwich military. However, Dr. Ven describes how in the last two years the Arsenal has been transforming into a chemical weapons manufacturing plant, one that would specialize in creating mustard gas ammunitions and various nerve agents. Such weaponry would then be sold to various governments or even terrorist cells which made the doctor decide to break from the project. Luckily, the plant is said to still be about a year or so off from producing large amounts of the chemicals and is currently in a testing phase.

This news has started reached the larger international community and now it is time for your nation to have a say in this scandal whether it be a simple condemnation to even plans of greater force, the affair is wide open to how it will end.

Rules and Notes

1. No excessive use of force such as nuclear attacks, 1 million soldiers to my borders, or anything of that nature. I am looking for at least in the beginning a diplomatic response. However, I am also open to a use of force perhaps in the form of a multi-national blockade around the island or even a bombing of the facility but again it all starts with a civil response.

2. If would like to join just post in this thread and an IC will be soon where all official responses will be.

3. All happenings in this will be canon to my nations lore.

4. Please put some effort in posts and avoid one liners. Additionally, this RP will be MT with slight PMT allowed. Please keep it between humans

5. My word is final in happenings and please run any ideas you might have with me either in this thread or via TG.

6. Lets have some fun :p If you have any questions let me know!

This… seems interesting.

If you would like to specify some clients for the Kingdoms government, uh, feel free to mention the Volkov houses. After all, Volkovograd is another monarchy that does illicit activities. So… yeah.

Nice. My country is one that is wholly run by crime syndicates that have become so entrenched they have taken the form of noble houses. The main contenders for clients are the Volkov brood (A massive family that is famed for hunting ability and runs several rackets across the world) and the Santiago Cartel (a prolific narcotics ring.)

I would like to be an Ultranationalist decaying democracy, like Hungary. Very irredentist, and many people inside see the short lived Democratic experiment collapsing named the Republic of Illisko. The current President is named Silas Kor. The economy is strong, but slow growing, and people generally live in some sort of poverty.

The President's hand was shaking. The results from the election were...Suboptimal. The Intézményi Forradalom Pártja (Party for Institutional Revolution, or IFP). While they gained in the expected regions, The Szocialista Dolgozók Szakszervezete (Union of Socialist Workers, or SDS) had gained around 9 seats. While the IFP maintained its majority, it was still a bad showing for the majority party.

In a speech later that day, Silas Kor, President of the Republic of Fyador would say "Our opponents may have strengthen themselves, but the march of the people will be achived!"
