The Roanian Inquisition has just moved in full force into The Oppressive Church. Hundreds of them, and escort Legionnares, are quickly scouring the country for any and all members of the DROSR.


Or so it is thought. In reality, the 'guard forces' have quickly begun subverting TOC's military and security forces, and it is believed that Cardinal Richelieu is attempting to grab control of the Archbishop...

OOC: You made a good choice...

IC:

<Phone call from Cardinal Richelieu to the Archbishop>

"Hello?"

OOC: Oh dear lord I should have seen this one coming... From being threatened by Terrorsists, to being taken over by another catholic oppressive Regime...

It's even easier for you: The nation is Pacifistic, almost no military... Cards just keep stacking up against me..

IC:

"Hello, this is the Archbishop Ferdinand's office.
Press one for Foreign Affairs Office.
Press two for a confesion.
Press three for The Archbishop himself.
Press four to speak with a live preist.
Press six to contact an operator.
Press seven for detailed information about the Church.
Press eight to repeat these options
Press zero to end this phone call."

Cardinal Richelieu smiled at his Prince. "Well, m'lord Prince, how do you feel?"

"Bored. That was so amazingly easy... what do we do now?"

"Let's see if we can get the Archbishop to dance for us."

OOC: If I had to be occupied by a corrupted religious regime, I would pick you anyway... And I just walked right into being occupied, so I guess I did pick you...

IC:

"You have pressed Three. The Archbishop will be with you shortly. This opperating system brought to your by Satelite Heaven International Tellicom, or (Abbreviate it... I don't want to post it's Abbreviation.). The number one communication service among Fanaticle Religious nations. This is a recording...."

"Hello... This is the Archbishop..."

"This is Cardinal Richelieu. In case you haven't noticed, several thousand Principality forces have just entered your nation, on your invitation."

Prince Alexander grabbed the phone. "I think that makes me, your new overlord. So, I would like you to film yourself dancing the Cossack dance, and mail that to me."

Cardinal Richelieu hung up the phone. There was silence in the council room. All of a sudden, one of the councillors laughed. Soon the entire room was filled with laughter.

"Who was that your Grace...?" A Priest asked the Archbishop.

"The spoiled brat of Roania... And his achoholic Religious Cardinal... Apparently, they see it fit to take over other religious nations, who asked them for help..." The Archbishop sneered, hanging up the phone. "Send out private word, through the clergy... All citizens on our western and northern border should escape immediately into our neighbors Your Nickname, Pro Capitalists, and The Anderton Mountains... Tell the clergy to remain stubborn, and do not bend to the Roanian soldiers commands. If they murder clergymen of their own Religion, they're sure to be condemned by the international community, and we might even get aid... As for now, the clergy will remain stubborn and not bend to Roania's will... And I'm not doing the Cossack dance... What a little brat... I think he'd fair best in a prison deep in Mongolia, filled with fanaticle communists..."

"Isn't the 'Cossack dance' called the Babooshka? Or something similar to that?" The priest asked the Archbishop.

"Yes... it appears he's not only a brat, but un-educated..."

OOC: Aww... where's the fun in being invited in if the people don't realise what big idiots they were.

And that 'Spoiled Brat' could wipe your nation from the map...

IC: Cardinal Richelieu smiled as he drunk his tea. "I see. The heretics refuse to comply? The Inquisition exists for a region. Force them all to reenter communion with the Church. And get that Archbishop on Vid-conference."

Prince Alexander sighed as he looked at the various expenses. "Okay, so this is costing us... $1000 a day... no, didn't carry the one... damn it, where's my Minister for Economics."

The Archbishop got on the Video Conference with the Cardinal.

"Hello Cardinal Reich-elieu... Oh, I mean Richelieu.." The Archbishop sneered at the screen.

OOC: By the way, I'm pretty sure the Babushka is a type of headscarf.

IC: Cardinal Richelieu sighed deeply. "I'm afraid our quest to free your people from the evil terrorists will take longer than expected. Thus, an increase in soldiers will have to be done. By the way, have you considered re-entering communion with the Roman Catholic Church?"

"We're a seprate branch, recognized, and friendly with the Vatican! Your soldiers aren't even looking for DSRO! At this piont, I almost wish DSRO would win... almost..." The Archbishop clenched his fist, and bit his lip from frustration.

"I'm sorry, brother?" Richelieu's brow crinkled with concern. "You seem ill. Don't worry. One of my bishops will be in your land soon to advise you. Maybe you should take a vacation."

Alexander looked up in frustration. The Minister for Economics had proven to know absolutely nothing of economics.

"May we sugest a Minister of Hooked on Phonics instead...?" The Archbishop giggled. "To which part of my occupied country do you sugest your Grace?" The Archbishop started to figit and twicth around in his chair from anxiety.

Alexander looked up. His voice was cold, and precise. "Richelieu, you took it over, you feed it and play with it, or I put it down."

Richelieu coughed. "Ah-heh. Oppressed? I don't know what you are talking about."

"If you hadn't cut off my communications for absolutely no justifyable reason, I'd blackmail you right now..." The Archbishop murmered under his breath.

"I mean, we managed to ensure that no terrorists can communicate with their cell leaders! You should be thanking us for making your nation a safer place to live."

"And cutting the already monitored phone lines was part of that...?" The Archbishop raised an eyebrow. "Now, Cardinal, and little person with... how to put this... An attitude that doesn't work well with others... Lets just cut the small talk. How much do you plan on dictating this country, and for how long?"

OOC-
LOL I thought you're gonna RP a whole thread before I even see it. :lol:

IC-

Roania, I see you annexed TOC...
Well, I have no problems with you, but with TOC only.
Following the cancellation of the election, I ordered our troops to reactivate, and to complete the tasks they got before.
If your forces will hit DSRO members, we'll have no other choice but to attack you too.
Remember, we're not an army, and we have no devisions.
We only have small brigades and squads, and our troops are trained as guerilla fighters, and they are very good at it.

Strange... It seems that our enemy is an enemy of another enemy of ours. :D

"We Shall Never Surrender!"

Confederate Senete House, Bunker # 15
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Sir?" asked the head of the ISA.
"I'm thinking that their protectorate status doesn't protect them when they invade other nations, and it's in our interests to hurt Roania," said the Princeps.
"Yes Sir. I'd say about two days before we could liberate this opressed church?"
"Make preperations to 'free' TOC."
"Yes sir"

A small OOC:
I'm in a big problem now...
The Ctan wanna invade my enemy to free my other enemy, which is occupied by the first enemy, that invaded in order to destroy me. :?
LOL that is so strange... Am I for it or against it? :lol:

OOC: We're atheists...

And I didn't say we wouldn't impose democracy on TOC.

OOC: We're atheists...

And I didn't say we wouldn't impose democracy on TOC.

I was talking about TOC and Roania. :wink:

The Athiest nation of the Imperial Navy has little interest in wars for religion, and praises The Ctan's decision to intervene.

OOC: As a note, I don't intend to invade Roania, just eject them from TOC.

OOC: As a note, I don't intend to invade Roania, just eject them from TOC.

I'm praising you for breaking up a religious conflict-by removing one.

OOC: As a note, I don't intend to invade Roania, just eject them from TOC.

OOC
I know...
But Roania (an enemy) inveded TOC (another enemy), and now Roania is inveded by you.
Meaning, I don't know if I should support you, against Roania, or support Roania against TOC.

How about if I removed them both?

How about if I removed them both?

If you do, you have my support. :idea:

How about if I removed them both?

If you do, you have my support. :idea:

Roania= Annexed another nation after it fell into anarchy-reason to invade

TOC= Fell into anarchy-needs peacekeeping-can form new athiest government with Imperial help-as it is anarchy, the Imperial Navy would have to take power

The Queen of Jeruselem was rather shocked "Our ally Roania with my relatives as rulers annexed The Opressive Church? We were going to make The Opressive Church our allies too. Alexander (and Kelly) better not make a mess of this situation. Alexander will need to explain his actions ...".

OOC
We are Roanian allies ...

'Politics you got to love it, well they are not as bad as Belem at least."

* Private communique to God Prince Alexander Black *

From: Queen Mariah I of Jeruselem
To: God Prince Alexander Black
Subject: Unexpected annexation of The Opressive Church

I express my extreme displease at your actions without consultation about the annexation of The Opressive Church. While this country was an anarchy and required peacekeepers to fight terrorists of the DSRO, using this excuse as a pretext of annexation.

We hope your occupation of The Opressive Church does not result in further anarchy or a larger religious war or an escalation of terrorism.

You're a pain sometimes Roania :P

whatever... Just get in there please... :)

Okay, I'm confused now... I'm annexed by Roania, being liberated by imperial Navy, Jerusalem is putting Political Presure on Roania, and DSRO can still blow up all my major cities?

((OOC Add this to the confusion you've been annexed by a Protectorate state, meaning your land also gets added to the list of Tor Yvresse Possesions, we only claim the land when Roania moves out, allowing Ro to run the day to day affairs. Politics is REALLY weird.))

((OOC Add this to the confusion you've been annexed by a Protectorate state, meaning your land also gets added to the list of Tor Yvresse Possesions, we only claim the land when Roania moves out, allowing Ro to run the day to day affairs. Politics is REALLY weird.))

Of course, given that your protectorate treaty doesn't oblige you to defend them if they're attacked for such aggressive actions, then you get the best of both worlds.

OOC checks the treaty, he's right oh sure we have a clause about activating the Army of the Protectorate without our consent but that requires a 2/3rds majourity. As Ro's my onlky Protectorate he can currently only get 1/2 the vote.

Ehem, to save my neighbor from Roania, I'm offering the Imperial Navy and Ctan the use of airstrips in my country, on the clause that they do not force a completely Atheistic Government on TOC, as the nation's population is extremely religious, and an Athiestic regime would only hurt the country further.

We find the recent potential hostilities most disturbing therefore we will make an offer we invite all interested parties to Mars there we shall forge attempt to find a peaceful route through this problem. We extend to all our personal guarentee of the safty of all the delegates.

Farseer Council

((Hmm thinks I have a plan.))

Farseer Council

((Hmm thinks I have a plan.))

Let me guess ...
* Christian and Athiest peacekeeps deploy to replace Roanian troops (Roania can deploy some too)
* DSRO removed as threat and new army trained for TOC
* New government elected
* Slow removal of peacekeepers

OOC: As a note, I don't intend to invade Roania, just eject them from TOC.

But Roania (an enemy) inveded TOC (another enemy), and now Roania is inveded by you.
Meaning, I don't know if I should support you, against Roania, or support Roania against TOC.

OOC: It means that the C'tan bought you some time should they actually move against Roania.

OOC :::Looks around::: Nope wrong heres a hint...

Ro's my Protectorate... I'm a Slow but steady Imperialist

Wait, don't I get a say in what type of post-Annexation government I get!? I mean, thanks for planning liberation, but Roania Annexed me, and my rightful government. Just because you liberate me means you get full control of what type of Government I get post-Roan Annex?

OOC Come to Mars, or send someone to a place and we'll arrange pick up, Tor Yvresse Imperialism works best when we simply insert ourself into the System... After all thats what we did with Ro and he hasn't revolted yet... (Of course that may also have something to do with controling his Port, but anyway)

:? Roania cut off or jammed all communications in and out of the country... Technically, IC, I don't know about the conference...

Our plan probably suits you better, but Roanians have authoritarian tendencies.

OOC Hmm... Okay here goes.

IC Tightbeam Message to Roanian Government Eyes of the Prince Only.

'We have a situation I think within the lands you so recently Annexxed, good work by the way, but now we need to tighten and make permanment the control of that land. First call of the hunt for the Arch-Bishop, we shall need him, make it known that he is sought for a peace negotiation on this matter, and that his safty is Guarenteed. Next I will need from your Government a list of things you will want from Oppresive Church. Remember however the tightest controling fist is the one not needed, we should use the former arch-Bishop as our Puppet.'

OOC: One, teeny tiny little detail you all seem to be forgetting. TOC is a closed country.

Completely closed. DSRO, you can't do anything. In TOC or in Roania. TC, you are unaware of the exact specs. Tor, great to have you back( :P ). None of the rest of you are aware of anything that happens there. At all.

People in Roania need a license to use a computer or own a radio. No-one in the lower or middle classes has access to guns or explosives. The penalty for possession is death.

And what with the cameras absolutely everywhere, and all foriegners under near constant supervision...

TIN, you don't even have an embassy in Roania! Forget spies.

To: My gracious cousin, Mariah I of Jerusalem
From: Prince Alexander, of Roania
Re: Peacekeeping

The Principality of Roania is not occupying TOC. We are establishing a solid government and rooting out terrorism. Regardless of the lies spread by his grace, the Archbishop.

The Archbishop has lost the support of the country side, and our soldiers are being welcomed as brothers.

I invite you to send inspectors, should you desire.

Pass my love on to our Uncle.

OOC: When's the wedding?

OOC
We have sources in Roania itself, but they are confidential :wink:

As for the wedding, got to plan the RP first.
Can't find the thread for Queen's visit to Roania ...

EDIT
Found it ...

...

I'm totaly exasperated by this turn of events...

It's actually not that fun.

Tell you what, we'll retcon it.

What...?

What...?

Well, if you want, we can pretend that you didn't make that rather stupid mistake.

Well, that'd be interesting... Then I have to deal with DSRO... or maybe just re-open elections... Hmmm...

Well, that'd be interesting... Then I have to deal with DSRO... or maybe just re-open elections... Hmmm...

It's all up to you.

TOC-area-commanders sent a message today to all of our troops in TOC, to go undeground (as an expression) and to halt their activities, untill the situation in TOC clears.
Roania, we have no interest in attacking you, so don't attack our troops.
We leave TOC's future in your hands, and we don't care about it anymore.
Thank you.

"We Shall Never Surrender!"

Secret IC:
at midnight, a DSRO engineer caused an electrical blackout in a big part of Saint John, TOC.
A few hundreds of troops devided into small groups and took control of sevral buildings in the city.

I guess we can forget this happened, or you un-Annex me, and I'll just deal with DSRO... Tought decision really, Roanian Annexation, or DSRO Devestation... :? But I choose un-Annexation...

OOC: This situation has gone completely mad. Now you want to turn back time and redo everything? Sheesh.

IC: In view of the recent turn of events, The Kingdom of Kimchi Jong Il hereby declares that it is exasperated about everything going on between Roania and TOC. The Dear Leader will soon establish communications with TOC to inquire about the possibility of an alliance, for mutual benefits.

TIN, you don't even have an embassy in Roania! Forget spies.

I never said I had spies!

I don't, either!

I guess we can forget this happened, or you un-Annex me, and I'll just deal with DSRO... Tought decision really, Roanian Annexation, or DSRO Devestation... :? But I choose un-Annexation...

OOC: I'm really doubting the RP of this thread. No rl leader would be that stupid, and this is a simulation of rl.

OOC: we don't have to turn back time, Roania could just randomly leave, and un-Annex me... And I'm pretty sure this thread lost all RP on page 1...

The Inquisitors, having killed every single terrorist in TOC, have left for a vacation in the mountains.
