[Forum Game] New Nations

Discussion in 'Forum Games' started by SoulPunisher, Aug 6, 2018.

  1. Obviously, the Theocracy is angry. Very angry.
    For what reason, the Empire doesn't know.
    However, the people behind the decision seemed to have suffered several days of very bad luck, culminating in public embarrassment.
    The Theocracy has been rewarded with further supernatural abilities, further confirming their somewhat delusional beliefs that (OOC: I'm somehow rewarding them for something they did). They are also very glad they have it, because they are being pushed to the end of their rope by another group specializing in such supernatural abilities, except they're stronger, and has less people. It's a shadow game as the Insurgency makes messes and the SOG clean it up. The Insurgency, that's their name. The SOG are too occupied fighting these guys to be a real benefit or curse (OOC: of course they are, I made the Insurgency up for that very purpose.).
    (OOC: lol I got a google ad for coal analysis, probably because of this forum game)
    The Empire is closely watching this election. It is extremely concerning that UKNS's strongest Left-Wing party is showing its age, because the Empire is (weird as hell but works, somehow) Socialist, and might create a hostile relationship with the Empire. In addition, it is also concerning that far-right groups can assassinate the Prime Minister of the UKNS. The Empire recommends extermination.
    Also, HMKX wants word as to when Javor is going to respond to their offer.
    Lastly, a new offer to Israel. (In order of importance)
    1. STOP. ANNEXING. PALESTINE.
    2. Allow Palestine to exist as an entity and respect them. This includes allowing Palestine to have water.
    3. Jerusalem, the holy city is put under OEO management.
    4. Palestine will not invade Israel, or attack it. Also for Israel.
    5. Palestine will not attempt to seize Jerusalem for themselves. Ditto for Israel.
    6. Dual obligation: Israel and Palestine respectively do not discriminate against Palestinians or Israelites.
    7. Normalize relations with all Arab states, this is a another dual requirement for Palestine to normalize with Israel.
    8. Do not harass Palestine, this is also true for Palestine to Israel.
  2. We accept the offer.

    The Worker's Act of late 1960-something:
    Raises the minimum wage up to CH$2.10. Equal to about $14 in today's dollars.
    If someone has a child with another person who also has a job, the minimum wage is increased by 70 cents per child. If someone is the sole caretaker of a child, their minimum wage is increased by $1.40 per child.
    Registered companies and businesses that are unable to sustain the increase may apply for federal aid. The case will be reviewed by the Dept. of Revenue and approved or denied.
    All salaried workers working a total of 7 hours or more must be given a break of at least 15 minutes mid-shift, or 25 minutes if working on a farm or other hard-labor jobs. This does not include optional hours, such as overtime.
  3. Regarding Israel and Palestine, We propose that Palestine will be split into the West Bank and Gaza, and leave the rest for the Jews. We believe the Holy City of Jerusalem is rightfully the Jews, although to maintain the peace, we would have to allow Muslim sanctuary in Jerusalem aswell.
  4. The Holy city is a hotly disputed area. OEO management will allow everyone to have it.
    The first 3 terms are non-negotiable.
  5. Politically, it should be under Israel borders, but a sanctuary for all worshippers.
  6. Hopefully this will be the final design for all license plates.
    Standard-issue plate. Aluminum.

    Exempt plate, for vehicles not owned by a single entity but still being used. Only intended to be temp. Reinforced cardboard.

    Temporary plate. Handwritten. For cars that have been recently purchased, until they get a standard-issue plate. Reinforced paper.

    Government-owned vehicle. Aluminum.

    Emergency vehicle. Police. fire. ambulance, etc. Aluminum.

  8. Making good use of that Guinean Aluminum!
    And no, if Israel polices it discrimination is bound to happen.
    The Arab states accept the division of the land, but Jerusalem must be OEO-managed.
  9. The HMKX Empire officially condemns racism, as well as a new group that has formed within the remnants of the former USA. They are a "Lost Cause" movement, in order to recreate the confederacy. It has been 30 years since the USA broke up, but the situation has only gotten more unstable as states fear the powers up north. In particular, a group managed to inflame tensions within several Southern Counties, and has created the "America for America" Party, and has systematically taken over the state of Louisiana, violently stifling opposition via lynch mobs and burning down houses. The breakup has given them the perfect storm to inflame tensions and play to white supremacist fears, thereby seizing power. It's a perfect storm, as they seek to seize power in further states. The Empire (obviously) dislikes this and has officially condemned this party, portraying it as Nazis all over again. Ironically, Louisiana has a flourishing black culture. Those areas still escape AfA rule, but AfA are gaining influence within Mississippi.
    But enough about that.
    The Empire has agreed to sell surplus AK-47s to Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and Turkey. The Empire has way too many of those left, and they are selling left and right to countries in unstable or otherwise bad climates. Anyone without a proper military rifle should come get the... old... aging... meh... Soviet... AK-47..? Why are they buying this again? Oh! Right! Super reliable and cheap unlike western rifles! Yes, come get them right here!
    The Makarov Pistol, a mediocre pistol by all measurements is being replaced.
    The aging TO-2 has also been replaced by the TO-3.
    But enough about weapons, it's time for the
    CORRUPTION PURGE DEATHCOUNT
    This corruption purge focused on the lower echelons of government, explaining the exponentially higher death count.
    254 people jailed for 20 years to life.
    371 people jailed for life.
    1,341 people executed by carbon monoxide.
    1,121 people executed by firing squad.
    941 people executed by hanging.
    48 people executed by slow-acting electric chair.
    Death to the corrupt.
  10. Javor Transport Magazine 23rd issue
    NATIONAL BUS CRASHES NEAR MOUNDSVILLE, KILLS 5
    A Route 6 National Bus was heading to Marietta and avoiding road construction on the Ohio River Scenic Byway by taking county routes 533 and 54 Sunday night when a driver struck the bus. It killed the 4 people inside the car as well as the driver of the bus. The National Bus Division of the Mass Transit Division of the Department of Transportation said they are mourning with the families of people whose lives were lost.
  11. TUN realizes the extremism brewing in Louisiana and condemns the group. We will look into further action to see if a necessary takedown is possible.
  12. The HMKX Empire has taken advantage of the fact no one set up rules for the OEO and set up a bunch of new rules.
    • Each nation gets a proportional representation at the regular assemblies.
    • Global "Combines" have a veto power. If a majority of current "Combines" decide to vote against a policy, they can make it not pass . This veto power can be overridden by a 2/3 majority of assembled nations. This vote is still proportional, and has all major powers still voting on it.
    • The OEO has a peacekeeping force created by a combination of the militaries of the nations.
    • Member states are required to pay OEO funding, proportional to their GDP.
    They are slowly persuading most nations to join it.
    In addition, Kazakhstan is working to join "The Big Oil", and they and the Empire have begun secret negotiations to buy Uranium Ore.
    Lastly, the Empire has reduced its annual war games. Famous for being very large, especially in its land segment, it has shrunk. This is likely a show of cooling tensions, as they have greatly reduced simulations of defending against a large TUN army. They are not showing off their new land weapons in any way, instead keeping them very quiet and subdued. But with these reductions came an emphasis on force projection, and the air and sea portions have slightly increased. In particular, the force projection capabilities seem to have been focused on the UFOS and their navy. While they aren't making a big deal of it, it remains to be seen what this means.
    (Iran wants an ally.)
  13. TUN has monitored the white supremacist group known as the "Lost Cause" and has deemed them a terrorist organization. They use racism and hate to strike fear into politicians to forcefully convert them. They have overtaken the Louisiana government and have begun looking to gain higher control in nearby states. After the fall of the US, many states who were not economically prepared collapsed after the states broke up. Now, those states are easily manipulated and have given themselves up to rebel groups.

    The Lost Cause has used inhumane tactics, such as assassination, bombings, and house burnings to take down any oppressors. Due to their racist nature, a large number of Black American people have been crucified, burned at the stake, or hanged. Many have fled their homes in seek of protection from other states. Southern states which have feared The United North's immense presence have banded together to build militaries and become their own superpowers.

    TUN's new government announced earlier that they don't want anything to do with war or with violence, but due to a case of global terrorism and racism which could negatively effect TUN and the world, TUN will have to resort to militarized action to bring back order and peace.

    TUN has issued a statement to the "America for America" Party and has demanded that they stop their corrupt ways or they will be met with force. So far, they haven't shown any sign of stopping, and have allowed TUN to fight them... This could end up into a civil war...
  14. The Empire welcomes the New California Republic and the Democratic State of Texas to the OEO. They are one of the three major powers within the American states, the others being Javor and the DST. The Republic of the State of Florida almost qualifies, and has a good hold on regional power.
    The NCR has a sizable Navy and Air Force, and would like to blockade Louisiana and Mississippi and force the removal of the AfA party. The DST is also severely disgusted by AfA, and would like to lend their resources in order to blockade the AfA of resources, as they have an even larger navy as they are constantly fighting off attacks from the RSF.
    The HMKX Empire wants to try out their new toy, called the E-3, but they have more to gain via blockade.
  15. (Out of game: Btw, california is an ally of TUN. And also, what is OEO exactly?)
  16. TUN sends in a small army of 30,000 men to retake Louisiana. Lost Cause members may seem like another cult, but they have been supplied with large amounts of weaponry by unknown sources, most likely from large-scale black market trade. They not only are equipped with effective weaponry, such as M16s, RPGs, and other explosives, but they also have a large mass of members, all with somewhat military training from within the states. Some even rogue soldiers and veterans.

    The difficulty of a takedown is that it's like fighting a Guerilla force, except in the city. Terrorists can look like anyone; that granny at the grocery store buying some apples could be hiding millions of rounds of ammunition in her home and no one would realize it. In a real war, the force you are fighting is much easier to identify, but when it's a civil war, it's nearly impossible. Luckily, some AfA members who are highly trained are more likely going to be fighting a frontline battle.

    TUN has joined forces with a broken police force to fight opposing forces, who have been keeping Lafayette a war-torn city. Lost Cause members have taken over huge chunks of residential areas, and have opened fire on TUN troops, as well as tripping the roads with IEDs. There have been multiple skirmishes all throughout, and TUN isn't stopping. Somehow, the AfA had gotten their hands on M4 Shermans and M18 tanks, which have been used against TUN's much superior M60 Pattons. So far, they have not been used very efficiently, but outside of tank warfare, they are a formidable force.

    TUN's future plans are to wipe out main opposing AfA forces, and then move into New Orleans, where TUN hopes to overthrow the AfA party and liberate Louisiana.
  17. TUN troops examine the streets and realize the damage the Lost Cause has done. Whole neighbourhoods, once beautiful and full of life, now grey and empty. Most citizens were either driven out of their homes or are put under a strict curfew by Lost Cause members. Fortunately, some law-abiding citizens have used their first amendment rights by defending themselves with their own guns. Thus, very small anti-AfA groups have sprung up, but they are mostly just gun owning citizens defending themselves, instead of attacking.

    Fortunately, it isn't all gloom and despair, some cities are untouched and are being defended by a respectable police force and gun owners. They are under the government of the AfA who forced their way into office, but as a district effort, they deny these changes by force and have avoided mass punishments.

    In those torn cities though where the Lost Cause is most prevalent, roads and side shops have been completely burned up and destroyed by the AfA, who have continued to burn down homes and businesses who refuse to convert.

    Again, it isn't an apocalyptic scene in Louisiana, but it still is a scene of despair.
  18. The UN like-organization most of the world is part of. HMKX realized no one bothered to set up rules and nailed them down before anyone else could. The OEO is its own organization, and like the GAD is not an Imperial puppet.

    The Empire didn't want the TUN to act so rashly. A blockade would have been recommended. But the Empire has reviewed using their new toys on Louisiana. No, that would kill far too many civilians. The Empire calls on Javor to denounce this brutality, if a nation on a faraway land can denounce evil, a nation that is on North America can too.
    OOC: Can we refer to California as NCR? Sounds cooler. OEO is just a normal organization for everyone to join, and as a TUN ally it'd be natural they would dislike AfA.
  19. Iran has made indications that they want to be friendly with UFOS. This is... displeasing.
    The Empire makes one last offer to the TUN. Take it or leave it.
    • Jerusalem sits under OEO management.
    • Palestine gets West Bank and the Gaza strip.
    • Palestine and Israel respect each other as legitimate nations.
    In addition, the Empire has experienced major tensions within Japan, as nationalists claim HMKX trials for war criminals were unfair and "Victor's Justice". A breakaway of Japan seems possible.
    The Empire and UFOS has seen relations significantly deteriorate since the past years, the problem is only worsening as the Empire and UFOS are competing.
    In addition, Saddam Hussein is dead. Whether by HMKX agents or by anyone else is unknown.
    The Empire has also gotten permission from the OEO and GAD to intervene within Louisiana and Mississippi. It will take 1 post for the famous Fensuo ships of the Empire to completely block off the states from naval resupply and possible bombardment.
    Fine, we agree. As long as there is no way to manipulate Israel and take away their rights, it's fine.
