Ibuman, Former Province of Angola

General Munabi looked down at his soldiers, they cheered wildly, chanting his name and thrusting their weapons in the air. Finally, after 8 years, it had been done, the Ibamuni, his people, were at last free from the oppressive grip of Angola. The war they had fought to achieve their goal if independence had been long and costly, but more than worth it in the end. 64,000 young, Ibamuni, men had lost their lives during the struggle, but their deaths had not been in vane, and General Munabi realized this as he put his bullhorn to his lips once again, "Now my brothers, we may live our lives in peace and thrive in this land that our countrymen have bled for! Never again will you be forced to labor against your will, or will you be persecuted for your beliefs! For in this land, we are all free men and free men we shall remain!"

The soldiers went wild, they jumped on the balls of their feet and screamed the infamous Ibamuni war-cry, the same one that Angola's soldiers had learned to fear. The men beat their tongues against the roof of their mouths rapidly and sang out, creating a chorus of deafening war-cries. While it was meaningless racket to anyone not from the region, it was music to General Munabi's ears, and he tilted his head back and let it all soak in, as if he were recieving energy from the war-cries. Suddenly he tilted foward again with a broad smile on his face and began the war-cry himself.

Only a week after Angola officially declared Ibamun's independence, General Munabi had made himself President, and promised a peaceful, democratic government for Ibamun. It was too early to tell if Munabi would live up to this promise, but so far things were going well. Already relief programs had been instituted, and the reconstruction of several cities and villages that had been razed during the war, were well underway. The size of Ibamun's army had swollen to 3% of the population since many had seen the army as the only way out during the war. With good pay, shelter and food, the army was very appeasing to Ibamuni men. Add those facts to their patriotism and the end result was a large and for the most part effective army.

With this newly earned indpendence, the small nation of Ibamun was just now dragging itself out of a dark past, plagued with forced enslavement and attemtped genocides. In the beginning Ibamun started off as a federation of loosely connected tribes, living peacefully side by side and surviving off of the land. But overtime the world around Ibamun began to modernize and the territories surrounding the small nation became hungry for more land and money. They saw vunerability in this undeveloped nation, and the strongest of them all at the time, Angola, invaded and swiftly conquered the existing tribes. Resistance was futile, the invaders had far better weapons and technology, those who did fight were slaughtered on the battlefield. The events that followed were nothing more than a stripping of Ibamun's resources, dignity and independence. Thousands were forced into slavery, where they were brought to Angola to work as servants and laborers, others who were not strong enough for slavery, were rounded up and killed in specially made "camps". Ibamuni land was seized by Angola and the entire country was made into a "Province", but it was nothing short of a slave state. Slave trade based in Ibamun seperated countless families and further demoralized the Ibamuni people, most never saw their loved ones again.

For nearly four centuries this rape continued, and the Ibamuni seemed to be a defeated peoples. This was, until, a young slave by the name of Sumad Munabi decided to fight back, convincing his fellow countrymen who labored with him to fight back as well. Many failed slave rebellions had happened before, but this one was different, this one was massive. Munabi spread his word of rebellion through word of mouth and small pamplets that he wrote and hid in the cargo he was forced to load. The word of rebellion spread like wildfire, but the Ibamuni who recieved the message were told to keep quiet about it, until the time was right. That time came on the foggy night of April 16, when Munabi and almost one hundred other slaves, overran the plantation they worked on, killing the slave holder and all of his men. From there they armed themselves and sent out messages to other plantations, letting them know that they were coming. Within a year nearly half the plantations in Ibamun had been overrun and destroyed, the Ibamuni resistance had become organized and the threat of full-scale revolution was very real.

Munabi and his army continued to push through Ibamun, driving Angola slave holders and soldiers out of the nation. After 8 perlious years they had finally driven the last of them off and now here they remained free. The Ibamuni repopulated their abandoned cities and were now rebuilding their destroyed villages, they gained new technology and weapons from the enemies they'd killed. Now they had enough soldiers and weapons to make any nation in the region wary of invading them once again. The seperated tribes united and became one under the Ibamuni flag, a nation had been forged.

Now General Munabi, 33 years of age now, was prepared to make the International Community aware of Ibamun's independence. From the capital city of Aragu, he sent out a broadcast to all nations containing this video of him speaking:

General Munabi wore a red beret which was tipped to the side, allowing his course hair to poke out neatly on the side. He also wore green military caches, his shirt was unbuttoned near the collar revealing a black chest. On his face he wore a serious expression and seemed to stand at attention, sweat beaded on his face slightly, you could tell whatever room he was in had no air conditioner. Behind him was the Ibamuni flag, completely covering the wall that it clung to. Munabi took a deep breath through his broad nose and began to speak with a deep African accent:

"To all nations of the world, Ibamun, my native country, has earned its independence. My men and I have driven Angola out of our lands, and now Ibamun belongs to the Ibamuni. We as a people have been through many struggles and faced more than enough hardships, and now we come to the world as a nation, rather than an enslaved peoples. We wish to be welcomed, and we wish to obtain allies, as well as trade. We need relief from the war as well, programs have begun internally, but these programs cannot last forever, for we run low on supplies. We do not beg for help, we simply ask for it. Again, we come into this world humbly, that is all."

The broadcast flickered and went out, Munabi could only hope someone would listen.

Good first post!

Hattia is willing to form an alliance with Ibamun.

Meanwhile, we will begin dropping humanitarian supplies.

To General Munabi,

Let me give to you and your people congradulations on the formation of your own nation and freedom from the chains of slavery. As the Head of the Aphrodite Temple Faith I can only extend the hope that you will stay the course of democracy and create a wonderful nation of wealth and happiness on the African continent. I will have the Temple Society send humanitarian aide along with our first missionaries to be sent to your nation of offer your people the teachings of Aphrodite and Love.

<OOC: interesting, another african-based nation. are you a puppet? or are you truely a new player? anyway, you're a much better RPer than me, I'll admit that. good job. heh, you're introduction is your nation coming out from a bloody war; mine is basically a quick breakdown of the newly formed government. quite similiar to african governments nowadays... they never last too long. :? >

Attn: General Munabi

The Republic of Rykia admires your fight and stuggle for the freedom from oppression. We welcome your new place among the community of nations working for peace and prosperity and would welcome the initiation of trade talks and the opening of diplomatic ties. I propose, on the behalf of the Prime Minister, the establishment of formal diplomatic recognition and the creation of embassies and ambassadorial staffs to facilitate any trade treaties our two nations would wish to conclude.

Lawrence Coleridge
Minister of Foreign Affairs

"We greatly appreciate the responses we have been recieving. Haitti, we whole heartedly accept your offer of an alliance and we are more than willing to enter trade talks, as well as diplomatic talks with Rykia. During the occupation our land was made barren and much of the natural resources in our lands were either destroyed or taken away, so trade is critical to us. To all those offering aide, we will accept anything you can give us, we'd prefer that you'd not bring missionaries though. We as a people strongly believe in our current religion and do not wish to be converted over to any other faith. Again, we appreciate the support."

-General Munabi

(OOC: Thanks for the compliment, West African States, this is actually a puppet of a larger nation that I got tired of. I'd figure I'd try an African style nation, sorry if it seems like I bit off of you :P . Maybe we could begin an RP together in the future?)

Attn: General Munabi

Since your nation has little resources, perhaps it would be possible to instead grant our corporations the right to establish manufacturing plants in your nation. In exchange for the rights to an exclusive market for our burgeoning automobile industry we would ensure that the companies establishing plants divest a quarter of their profit back into your nation, specifically in the area of education and infrastructure development. Hopefully we can come to some sort of arrangement.

Dr. Garret Jackson
Minister of Financial Affairs

Dear General Munabi,

Your nation is fully welcomed into the world, and we will provide whatever aid we may. I have always admired those who have been ready to stand against oppressors, and defend themselves. Independence is prime, for a people must always be content. I believe strongly in the principles of democracy and equality that you have so well promoted, and I bode this as a promising future for relations between our nations.

I have contacted my Minister of Economic Affairs, who has suggested a trade pact between our nations. Lietuveska is willing to trade large quantities of potatoes, beans, and corn in return for large amounts of iron and petroleum. We are also very willing to send reconstruction crews at a low price, and humanitarian aid will also be sent. Due to a recent conflict, however, we cannot provide any military aid, but it seems as if your government has done a good job in maintaining control.

It is my firm hope that you and your nation will thrive, and I send the best of my wishes to the people of Ibamun. Prosperity and peace are two great principles of this world, and your nation is well on its way to achieving them.

The Commonwealth of Chimaea congratulates General Munabi in his efforts to bring peace and order to Ibamun, and for the ending of the blight of slavery.

We wish to open an Embassy in your nation, from where we can conduct discussions on possible treaties and so forth. Aid Chimaea can begin relief shipments as soon as possible, and we have contacted our NGOs about the situation.

We bid you a warm welcome to the international community,
~Prime Minister Achefield

From: PM Lin Pak, The People's Republic of Kay Son

Congratulations on your liberation. My government is willing to provide you with economic and medical supplies. Do you have an airport in which our planes can land?

"Rykia, while your generous offer sounds tempting, I'm still unsure to how our people would respond to foriegn mafacturing plants in Ibamuni land. Surely you understand my hesitance to agree to something of this nature. Perhaps this proposition of yours could work if Ibamuni citizens could be trained to work in these plants and were paid the same salaries as your native workers. But if this is not acceptable then we are not sure if the Ibamuni people will respect the plants as working businesses."

To:Lietuveska

We appreciate your kindess Lietuveska, and I thank you for the warm welcome you have given our nation into this world. I have consulted my Trade Council, and we accept your trade pact. Trading between our nations can begin as soon as your means of transporting the goods arrive. We'd prefer that the imports be sent to Aragu, our capital city. I hope a relationship between our nations beyond trading can develop in the future, Prime Minister.

-General Munabi

To:Chimea

We will accept any ambassadors you send and your embassies our welcome to be built within Ibamun. We will also accept your humanitarian and economic aides for as long as your are able to supply them. Thank you.

To: Kay Son

The only available airport large enough to support cargo planes is located within our capital city of Aragu. If you wish to send relief through planes then it is best they land here. We appreciate your help.

Attn: Ibamuni Worker's Union

The idea behind outsourcing our manufacturing jobs is to benefit both of our nations. Rykian businesses will benefit from cheaper costs of production thus strenghtening the tax revenue of Rykia; and at the same time, people looking for work in Ibamun will find jobs with competive wages, wages that will allow the workers to increase their purchasing power and eventually, given further economic development in terms of consumer goods, stimulate commercial growth and investment of Ibamuni capital into Ibamun. Of course, we would train any Ibamuni citizens so as to not put them at risk. Further, with our socialist policies, the companies headquartered here in Rykia are required to develop their labor pool's communities through building of schools and clinics for the workers. The companies, while requiring hard work and dedication to their employers, reward their workers with excellent opportunities for education, health care, not to mention pay.

Dr. Garret Jackson
Minister of Financial Affairs

To: General Sumad Munabi of Ibamun

We are happy to hear that the people of Ibamun have achieved their dreams of freedom from Angolan domination, and that you and your government envision a future of peace and shared prosperity for your new nation.

On behalf of the African Province of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, I would like to offer our Order's assistance in providing humanitarian assistance in the war-devastated areas of your nation; assistance focused on helping local people rebuild their communities and infrastructure, develop self-sustaining agricultural and other economic activities, and promoting basic education and health care.

If this is agreeable to you and your government, we would be happy to send representatives of the Sacred Heart Missionaries to discuss with you the areas most needy, and the logistics of establishing a Sacred Heart presence in Ibamun.

cordially in Christ,
Father Vincent Maimela
Provincial Superior
Missionaries of the Sacred Heart

To Rykia:

"After reviewing several estimates of the profit that Ibamun itself would make from these speculated manufacturing plants, courtesy of our Business Bureau, we have decided to allow the construction of these plants on our land. This decision was made with the thought of newly implemented clinics and community centers that we were told would built around the plants to suit the workers needs. If indeed you live up to your promise of these community centers and clinics, the Ibamuni government would consider offering you a mutual, friendship alliance. This alliance would create a bond between our two nations and could possibly include trade contracts. But, as of now, we can only hope that we have made the right decision."

- Ibamuni Worker's Union

To Holy Vatican See:

We, of course, accept any humanitarian aide that you can spare, and we do so thankfully. But, I'm afraid we'll have to learn more of these missionaries of yours before we can allow them within our country. Maybe more information on what kind of message they would give could make them acceptable to our people."

- General Munabi

To General Sumad Munabi of Ibamun

Missionaries of the Sacred Heart have been doing humanitarian work in Africa for many years. In addition to assisting in the development of sustainable infrastructure, education, and health care, we do preach the Gospel of Christ in conformity with the Doctrines of the Catholic Church.

In all of our Mission locations, we establish a Church, and celebrate the Mass and the Sacraments of our Faith. We encourage our neighbors to join us and learn about our Faith, but it is never required for assistance or participation in other Mission activities.

Christianity is a faith of love and service that encourages strong families and communities, the dignity of the human person, and respect and tolerance for the human rights of others.

If you would like more information, I would be happy to send a member of the Sacred Heart Mission team to discuss the matter with you in detail.

cordially in Christ,

New Lusaka City, The United African Republic of Lusaka

Promising. Miyanda thought. Not exactly the most progressive government, judging from this assessment, but Igomo will fall over himself for it.

The Secretary of the ruling (since 1980) Social Progress Party, Livingstone Miyanda processed any number of fairly similar news items each day. Rarely did one strike him as being of such direct importance- Lusaka desperately needed friends on the continent during this new age of imperialism. Better yet he hadn't heard of Roycelandian or Rhodesian attempts to contact the new regime in Ibamun. Best get our collective foot in the door he supposed, calling the attention of his assistant with a shake of the paper he wanted taken to the President.


General Munabi, friend, warmest greetings from the United African Republic of Lusaka.
Remembering the struggle for independence not thirty years since fought by our people, and with its hardships still ringing in our ears, we extend to you and your people the hand of friendship and the spirit of co-operation. We should be delighted to exchange ambassadors, offering your nation consular residencies in New Lusaka City and/or Dar es Salaam.
There after we hope to establish strong trade links, securing the future economic prosperity of your emancipated state, and confirming the unity and self-suficiency of our African nations in these difficult times.

-President Derek Igomo (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=107437&highlight=)

The difficult times of which Igomo spoke no doubt called attention to the war in Gabon (where in Lusaka and the African Commonwealth are resisting the imperialism of 1st world states such as United Elias backed by African colonial powers Roycelandia and Rhodesia & Nyasaland, and (in Igomo's eyes) turncoats such as the Middle Congo). Lusaka would prove eagre to ...get Munabi on-side and to see that he recognises enemies where Lusaka does.

To: Holy Vatican See

"While the Ibamuni people do respect other cultures and religions, I'm afraid if you were to send a missionary preaching of your own gospel, that most Ibamuni would see this as an imposement of your own faiths upon them. Though I will not say that you can not send any missionaries that you speak of, I will advise against it."

-General Munabi

To: The United African Republic of Lusaka

"It is an honor to be welcomed into the International Community by another. larger, African nation. We will accept and accomodate any ambassadors you may send, and we will send our own to your nation when it is possible. We will, of course, enter trade with a nation as large as yours, as we are sure that this trade would greatly effect Ibamun's economy. I feel, that since we both have shared a common struggle for independence, our nations have a deep connection and I wish to continue talks with your nation to possibly enter a mutual alliance. I have always said myself that in Africa we must help one another, for we are all children of this great continent, I am sure that you feel the same."

-General Munabi

Father Vincent Maimela, the African Provincial of the Sacred Heart Missionaries, considered General Munabi's response in council with the other Sacred Heart leaders and administrators.

"Conditions would appear to be less than optimal, although not actively hostile," the Rawalizi priest said.

Father Nuseki Lotunku frowned. "It would be a wonderful opportunity, with the nation so new, and in need of infrastructure development, to establish a foothold. And they have great need of infrastructure to build sustainable agriculture and other economic ventures that we can assist."

Brother Paul MacKenzay shook his head, regretfully. "Were conditions a bit more favorable, I would heartily endorse the constitution and deployment of a mission in Ibamun. There are some Christians there, we know from pre-Angolan days--no part of Africa doesn't have some Christian presence, Catholic or Protestant."

"But unfortunately our resources are just too limited. Clearly, we can count on little if any assistance from the government, and no protection for any people or resources we might deploy there. That would mean extra costs on our part, and the resources just won't stretch that far--especially when it appears that we would be having to expend much of our energy overcoming obstacles. There are so many urgent priorities already, especially with the Gillson's viral plague cropping up in Rawalzi."

The Provincial Superior nodded. "Well, we will leave it at that for now, then. Our offer remains open, but we will make no active move unless conditions change substantially, one way or another."

The Divine Empire of Novar Ohan welcomes Ibamun's independence as a ray of light on a dark continent. It is our hope that democracy will flourish and sprout in Ibamun, and we would be willing to assist in guiding this new nation through these dark beginnings.

With your permission, General Munabi, we will send men in to begin the establishment of high industry, and search for oil wealth. We welcome you to the Stronghold in order to discuss mutually beneficial terms of investment.

May your nation grow strong, and prosper.

General Munabi, we understand that you might be... against the idea of foriegn investment taking control of your young nation. Thus, I assure you that any investment we make in Ibamun will be accompanied by educational facilties and rural and urban improvement projects. Our primary employment will consist primarily of your people, who will be trained and paid the exact same as our own workers.

Also, if you desire security from larger and more rapacious neighbors, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Legions will be pleased to train your police and military.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ambassador... how was I meant to know that you were allergic to being woken up in the dead of night with demands for information?"

General Munabi,

It has come to my recent attention that several nations have offered to invest in your country. While these proposals may seem promising, I must offer a fair warning. Some nations seek only to expand their power, and the recent rise in fanatical Christian nations running to "aid" you has got me deeply concerned.

I must inform you that Roania is a nation which preaches the opposite principles that you hold so dear. A nation of fanatical Christian extremists, Roania has truly blocked democracy in its own nation. Evidence may be found here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=131359&highlight=).

I must also impress the importance of choosing wisely between your enemies and allies. Roania has been known to support Christian fundamentalist ideals, imposing and forcing believes upon others. As a thoughtful trading partner and friend, Lietuveska would like to warn upon encounters with such nations.

To: Prime Minister Harold Cartwright

We thankyou for your kind welcoming of us into the world, Prime Minister. But, before I can speak on the issue of "men" coming to our land and establishing high industry, you'll have to be more specific in the terms of time frames and decent estimates of the revenue that Ibamun would recieve from your proposed industry. As for finding new oil spots, we're afraid this has already been accomplished. During the Angolan occupation every possible oil deposit within Ibamun was captured and drained, but not dried. These wells have long since been re-occupied and are working at full capacity, since oil is one of our most valuable exports, we would be more than willing to begin an oil trade program between our two nations.

-General Munabi

To: Foriegn Minister Simon Darquis II

As you may or may not already know, Mr. Darquis, Ibamun needs all the financial help it can get in the educational department. It is very important to us that the children of Ibamuni grow up to be well-rounded adults so that no other nation can do what Angola had done to us ever again. But, as I told your Prime Minister, I will tell you that I need more specifics before I can agree to such a proposal. We already have one foriegn business presence in Ibamun, I'm not sure of two would sit well with my people.

As for the military and police training you've offered, we will accept any teams/officers you can send to make Ibamun's fighting force more efficient. We are aware that nothing comes without a price though Mr. Darquis, what is it that we would have to give in exchange for your training services.

OOC: Liet, aren't we permanently ignoring eachother? Continuing to irritate me, under whatever nation you're using, is going to get me to contact a mod and ask for you to be dealt with. I have no tolerance for OOC vendettas, and even less for fools such as yourself. And I'm calling it an OOC vendetta, because ICly no nation your size would really launch itself against me in such a manner.

If you had been paying attention, which I doubt you have, you would have noticed that the Divine Empire has initiated a recent complete change in policy. Of course, for someone such as you to pay any attention to things that would give you a reason to stop annoying me is asking too much. So, last warning. And don't think that switching to another nation (again) and continuing this foolishness is going to work, either. Next time, I'll just invade.

BTW, the word we're looking for is 'beliefs'. Not 'believes'.

Ibamun, what my pathetic adversary here has not mentioned is this (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=143203&highlight=), this (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=95521) (from way, way back. I have a new PM now), and this (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=135865&highlight=). All of which profoundly throw aside what this cretin has been saying.

By the way, calling the Holy Vatican See a fundamentalist christian nation is meaningless, and you know it. Go pester someone else, Liet. I'm through with you.

OOC: Actually, it was NOT an OOC vendetta, and I had completely forgot about anything I said in that thread until you started talking about me pestering you. I then read the thread, and said "Oh yeah.." Sorry for any hurt feelings... :roll:

And "switching nations"..huh? That was the stupidest move I ever did, and I fully regret everything that occurred in that one four-hour period. It was isolated, and the said nation is soon to be handed over to someone else. (And sorry for the spelling blunder...)

I suppose I might as well apologize for not keeping up with your nation, and that any claims I made were those of a fictional character, Prime Minister Lashira Vladonski.

If you don't get anything out of the above paragraphs, then maybe you will out of this: I'm sorry. :P (That's all I'm saying so this thread doesn't get plagued with OOC crap..TG me if you have anything else to say, please.)

<Snip>

OOC: Hmmm... looks like mistaken identity on my part... no apology neccessary. Must remember. Get IP scan first... sent you a tm. Sorry, Ibamun.
