NetoX granted autonomy from Knootoss

In the year of 20XX, the Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss granted autonomy to a small polder called NetoX. The land of NetoX wanted to be an independent country because of the differences in the technology sector; the three NetoXian net-programmers developed a totally new concept of the internet that would change the people’s lives. A new cybernetic network would be established inside every person’s head by using a connection chip implanted into the mind. Knootian scientists called this invention ‘’a danger to the human civilisation’’ while it was approved by all of the NetoXian scientists and programmers. Finally, the day of independence had come and NetoX would be independent from this day on. The three ministers, which were previously the net-programmers of the new anarchic government, were all present at the ceremony and so was the Knootian ambassador. Programming-Net service is securing the broadcasting channels today, so hackers won’t be able to get through the security of the government. Crowds of people were present and cheering. The security for that day was extremely tight on the net and also on the ceremony itself. Tall, broad security guards were inspected the whole situation, keeping their glocks on sharp if anything would happen. The day of independence for the NetoXians had come. The three ministers would soon begin their speech.

’’Welcome to Net-X news right from Cybiom, in the center of the city. I’m Kent Utop and I’ll be following the official ceremony of the granting of the autonomy from Knootoss today. I can see many peop….’’ Suddenly, the screen began to show script errors instead of the ceremony. This was obviously the work of a hacker, trying to hijack this broadcast. He succeeded for a few seconds but immediately the problem was solved, thanks to the Programming-Net service. Soon the image of Kent Utop appeared again and it looked like he wasn’t aware of this attempt of hijacking... So he just continued with a cheer face. ‘’And that’s why we are so proud that NetoX shall become officially a land of its own. The ministers are stepping onto the podium right now and they shall speak towards the people…’’

’’Citizens of NetoX…’’ The crowds begin to cheer loudly as the head-minister of NetoX begins to speak. ‘’This day, is a day of remembrance. The great Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss will grant us autonomy! Independence! Every one that is listening, hearing or seeing this great happening shall remember it for the rest of his or her life. Only a few are against us, but those are blind and foolish to think so. Our newly developed technology shall succeed!’’ The other ministers clapped and the ambassador of Knootoss nods towards the speaking minister with a gruff face. ‘’Let us be glad my friends, that the great Republic of Knootoss grants us our freedom, our right to develop ourselves.’’ Again, loud sounds of cheer flowed throughout the location of the ceremony. ‘’Now, our new flag shall be raised now!’’

The flag that represented the Dutch Republic of Knootoss waited silently in the middle of the plaza. Two men in black robes walked silently and straight towards the flag both bearing the new flag of NetoX. All people behind the fences stood there, looking, saying no word and touched by the happening itself. Those two men pulled the Knootian flag down and raised the flag of NetoX. A few seconds after that, an overwhelming of cheering people dominated a few minutes. No one was able to talk or say something to each other. There is now a nation called NetoX: independent and free of rights and choices… Broad grins appeared on the faces of the new ministers and personnel of the government and soon metal music could be heard throughout the plaza. A new nation was risen…

OOC tag: this is not Knoot himself. (Obviously, looking at the newb way of writing and RPing.) But this is his 13 year old brother. Please forgive me if my introduction post here looks/is bad, I need still need to learn much…

The camera of the Knootoss News Network zooms in on an attractive young woman with dark-brown hair.
"This is Julia Gredzaldo for KNN News live at the independence ceremony." We just received word that Prime Minister nos Cirdan has sent a congratulatory telegram to the new leadership of NetoX. Indeed, it seems that this transfer of power will be one without bitterness. The Prime Minister emphasised the close ties between the two nations, and the continuing of existing ties as a semi-autonomous region.

The speech just now spoke of independence and autonomy, and this is something that the Knootian politicians may not take lightly. However at this time it is joy, mainly, that has the overtone. Even though the people in NetoX are Knootians too. As Femke Halsema, opposition politician, put it: “We will be sad to see them go, but this is the best for both groups.”

It is expected that the people over here in this northern polder will be undergoing their social experiment happily. Bringing you the news from behind the dykes, this is Julia Gredzaldo for KNN…”

((You're doing great bro!))

OOC: the post looks good Netox...everyone has their own different styles of writing/posting
OOC2: is this future tech or modern tech?

{UMN Control Center in -Noir-'s capital, Miltia. Several UMN operators monitor the situation, while some pass the information on to the local news stations to be aired on today's 6 o'clock afternoon World News Report}

The Imperium looks forward to good relations with the newly independant republic. May your people acquit themselves with honor and dignity.

Knoot: Thanks :wink:
-Noir-: Thank you for that comment. I appriciate it... To answer your question: it's modern tech. The reason why it isn't future-tech is because of the comments made by the scientists of Knootoss. They weren't all that confident in the technology that NetoX developed. And it's obvious that the Knootians have a better view in the possibilities of technology.
Scandavian States: I can assure you, they will...

OCC: Very nice rp into the world. It was much better than mine.
IC: CeleKorn had been watching his favorite hockey team in action when CNN news popped up.
"What in the bloody hell? Where is my Stars and AVs game?Bah."
"We are sorry to interupt your regular schudueled program but there is an important world event. It seems that Knootoss granted anoutomy to a small region in there land. We will have more information soon."
"Hrmm I guess I will send some fine wine."

((*nods*

Just like Knootoss, really. Only they want to risk their lives on nutty Hacxkz0r experimenting. Well, who are we to stop them?))

OOC: can someone introduce a conflict??

NetoX begins testing the research of the three programmers. Succes or disaster?

OOC -Noir-: There is no conflict between Knootoss and NetoX right now. As the Knootian republic responded with a positive reaction in order to keep the two nations out of chaos.

Now that the nation of Netox was granted semi-autonomy, the research could begin without any objections or resistance. The team of 124 programmers were brought with old trucks towards a ''top classified location'' in a rather large instalment. 50 NetoX-scripted computers were installed with the necessary NetoX-developed software in order to begin the research on the findings of the three brilliant programmers. 20% of the people watched the news in their homes behind the television or NX Computer...

''Welcome to Net-X news, your source to information. We are currently present at a classified location, allowed to make a report about this research. This is Kent Utop…’’ A short news-tune sounded and Kent began to talk about the intention of the research. ‘’The research is named O-0A and is founded by the three ministers of NetoX. A few years ago, the three programmers who are now the ministers thought of an idea to connect many people’s minds through a cybernetic chip that enroots via the inter-network. This idea got written out in several scripts and the chip in still in development. Unfortunately, the Knootian scientists weren’t all that confident about these findings. They called it ‘’outmost dangerous’’ and ‘’a foolish attempt to get inter-connection’’; we hope that the Knootian scientists are wrong…’’

Meanwhile in the research-testing installation
The main-programmer walked around, nervous as the first test-persons were getting ready for the first official test. The two test-persons connected via wires in their heads. And so the test began. While 24 of the programmers entered the network to begin the telnet logging in the head, the main-programmer activated the starting-up script. Soon, they would realise this first test was a complete failure. The test persons began to get electric shocks and this resulted to their deaths. Although it was the first version of the research-project, it was not good to start of like this. The question of now was to decide if we would make this known to the press or not.
Lead Programmer: We need to make it known to the ministers right now…
Script developer: I will do that soon, the question now is to decide to make it known to the press or not.
Lead Programmer: Although I don’t like this. We need to tell the press. Make sure Marc knows what to say.
Script developer: I shall do that. Furthermore, there are some issues I need to discuss with the prime-minister about some hackers trying to get into the server. If these DoS attacks continue, I will need the help of the Programming Net-service.
Lead Programmer: Yes, you need to request the team of the Net-Service. Our research may not be destroyed by some lost script-kiddie. Inform the ministers!
The script developer ran off to make the phone call to the prime-minister. While the other programmers try to figure out the cause of the failure of the test and scripts, the Lead Programmer walks to his desk reading a message on his screen. ‘’You have been owned, the research is captured…’’
The lead programmer began to feel light in his head; a growing feeling of panic began to dominate all of his thoughts. A group of elite-hackers managed to log in…

’’This is Kent Utop again with Net-X news. We just received the announcement that the first test failed dramatically, the test-persons died when electric shocks overpowered their brains. All of the programmers are seeking the cause of the failure at the moment. The script developer is afraid that this research will take far longer then expected…’’ A moment, the visual image of Kent Utop disappeared and appeared again. But now, there was no image of Kent, only a black screen with a couple of script-commands appeared, the broadcast was now permanently hijacked. After a few minutes, a strange, computer-like voice began to speak. ‘’The research of NetoX is a failure and we, Net-Hackers of the new order have taken control over the computers of the research installation and we are now also control of this broadcast. Our objectives are very simple, the only thing we need is a greater understanding of this project and we have some small other goals…’’ Now there was nothing, just that black screen with some script-commands. No voice and no more other messages…

International assistance is possible
In the government building, the ministers were already informed about the failure of the test and a few minutes after that report, they were also known with the hijacking of the broadcast and computers. They got called by all kinds of people out of every part of NetoX, reporting that their computers couldn’t start up because of some national script accident. The Net-Service was unfortunately already too late and weren’t able to log on the net. Obviously, NetoX was in chaos now and the hijacking was just beginning now. The prime-minister called the world-news department that was located in the capital of Knootoss and reported their situation, in the hope that other nations would assist them out of this situation. Just as he was about to put the phone down, he heard shots from below and a few seconds after that the doors flew open. Three tall, strong men stood in the opening of the door with Uzis in their hands. The prime minister was stunned, but silently pleased about the fact that he just called the world-news to inform their situations. Now, the government building was now also captured by this new order of Elite-Hackers…

World News: NetoX requesting international aid from other nations
A few minutes ago, the prime minister of NetoX called the world-news department in Knootoss to inform a capture of the NetoX-net and broadcast. They are in need of Netting and possibly Special Forces support. More information isn’t possible due to lack of additional report of this situation…

OOC: Yes, this is my first attempt to create a small introduction RPG. If any nations feel like to join this and to aid the nation of NetoX, feel free to join in. I need to learn more about role-playing in Nationstates and I thought this intro-RPG would be a good idea to start of. And the last thing I wanted to say was a comment about my English. Knoot called my English ‘’a disaster’’ which is probably true. Please forgive me in that point…

(ooc: A disaster? Hardly! Your grammar and spelling is better than many native speakers I've seen! Keep up the good work.

Oh, and by the way, I'm Iansisle - you may have heard of us as 'that bunch of primitives we opened relations with for God-knows what reason' by your brother. ;) I'd get involved in this, but, well, computers for us are big, loud, clunky machines that the Walmies are really a lot better at using.)

OOC: naw, I didn't call it a disaster. I only called some particular spelling errors 'a disaster.' Like the singular use of 'truck' that implied 124 scientists being crammed in a single old lorry.

@others: While Knootoss jumping in would be logical this is really intended for you guys to go along with. *pokepoke*

EDIT: and thanks Iansisle :)

OOC: huh what happened when i was gone???

Minister Damon Watts:

The Dominion of Adderton wishes you hope and success upon your venture into nation-statehood.

OOC Ianisle: Thank you, I must've misunderstood Knoot's statement.
OOC -Noir-: Have you read the second RP post? It contains the beginning of the research of the cybernetic network. This fails and a group of ''elite-hackers'' take over the nation...

IC:
The best-wishes of Minister Damon Watts didn't arrive at the government. The NetoX nation was unable to reply to any messages from outside. NetoX was captured...

"Help them out damn you!"

The -Noir- Network programmers succesfully logged into the hackers' network. The NetoX-Net is now secure thanks to the nation of -Noir-. The example of the failure of the new-order hackers can be seen above. They are now unable to log in, all thanks to the -Noir- network programmers. Still, the government of NetoX is unable to thank or reply to this course of action. The hackers, now still unknown of the situation online have still taken controll over the NetoXian government buildings...

In the office of the programmer IoX in a southern location of NetoX
IoX sips his coffee while he starts up his computer. This programmer was always obsessed by studying the security of the NetoXian network. Every time hoping to log in by using government personnel cookies or self-made logging files.
IoX heard the sound of the computer, this sound tells the user his or her computer was all started up and ready for some action. As usual, he started up his Telnet and entered the forward security wall of the NetoXian government and waits for it to connect. Meanwhile, he puts a small high-quality disc into the cd-rom, hoping that this script could help him to crack the first forward security by using it. Strangely enough, when he looked up the IP addres of the security sentry mod, he noticed a strange code, instead of an IP.
''What the hell!? What this is kind of crap? I'll look this up...''
He opened a new browser and connects to his personal net-searcher to look this strange code up. ''AAHKILNMJFE33#'' was the code. There was only 1 result when the search machine quickly scans all sites of the net. A page with another code appears. It seemed to have an algorithm in it, something he had seen before. It was a password...
He opened the Telnet window again and typed this password, without knowing what would happen now...
''DAMN! I got in!''
Loads of classified maps were showing up to him. IoX had only to type them to take a look at them. So when he tried a random map, the acces was denied. The files weren't secured by the NetoXian government. Some user called /Noir Admin\ was now in control...

In the main government building, the prime-minister's office
''Please, please don't kill me...'' said prime-minister TenoX with eyes filled with fear. ''Your programmers will soon arrive with a report...''
The leader of the new order walked around, he was extremely annoyed by this prime-minister. ''If you don't keep your mouth shut now, I'll personally take care of the ending of your pathetic excuse you call a life...'' Obviously, the prime-minister kept quiet and waits unpatiently for the next news that would arrive to the leader of that new order. Would any nation aid them? Would NetoX be out of this chaos? The future would tell...
