NATIONAL ADRESS
OF THE
PEOPLE’S COMMITTEE FOR NATIONAL SALVATION
TO THE
PEOPLE OF TARASKOVYA

Comrades,

As of today, all effective political and administrative power has been seized in a bloodless coup-d’etat by the Army of People’s Enforcing, subordinated to the Leninist-Marxist Party of Taraskovya. The Grand Ducal Government has been overthrown, the Parliament taken under control. All bourgeois armed elements in Vigvar and other main cities throughout the Metropoly have been disarmed or are in the process of being disarmed. Bastions of the imperialist bourgeoisie are falling steadily in the liberating wave of the Army of People’s Enforcing. The magnificent cooperation of workers and oppressed masses against the capitalist oppressors shall ensure a rapid and swift victory.

Soldiers and officers of the National Defence Forces are rallying under the Revolutionary banner of the Proletariat and Communism and their aid is most invaluable in rooting out the last strongholds of the corrupt bourgeoisie and decadent aristocracy throughout Taraskovya. Those soldiers and officers that have not yet joined our noble cause are invited to do so immediately and unconditionally, for refusal to cooperate shall be met with the full force of the unified proletariat!

The so called “Emperor In Denial of all Taraskovya” has fled Vigvar with his tail between his legs and is currently presumed to be hiding on Zoria, which so far has been out of reach of the proletariat’s control. Indeed, hiding in his sister's skirts, who is provisionally the ruler of Zoria, is well suiting of the "Emperor". The former “monarch” of Taraskovya has even abandoned his guards at the Palace, and so we call out to the proud and honourable Alexander Guards: the ruler you swore to defend is nothing but a coward, a traitor to his own people. Rally the red banners and serve the Taraskovyan people or be crushed by its might!

As we speak, elements of the Army of People’s Enforcing are wiping out the last remnants of resistance on the planets Lagoon, Venom and New Crimea. Tavaroth has rallied our cause without any resistance and our Comrades on Omeldor-1 have joined with us in the noble struggle of the Proletariat for freedom, democracy and prosperity. Decadent “libertarian” devils on Atlantic Island have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently.. The Army of People’s Enforcing is conducting courageous assaults against the bastions of bourgeoisie and decadent capitalism on Nyi-Gardarika and it shall not be long before Krasgorod falls into the hands of the Proletariat! So far, only the “Duchy of Zoria” on planet Venus is outside the reach of the Army of People’s Enforcing, but it shall not be long as the majority of the National Defence space faring units have rallied under our banner and are currently disposing of national-traitors and imperialist dictatorial scum loyal to the ghost-banners of the old Grand Duchy.

To ensure swift victory over the last remnants of bourgeois oppressive imperialist capitalism, the People’s Committee for National Salvation hereby assumes executive and legislative authority on a provisional basis, and hereby issues the following decrees:

- The Grand Duchy of Taraskovya and its subordinate feudal states are no more. The Socialist Union of Confederated States is hereby proclaimed as a Federal entity that shall unite under its rule the various People’s Egalitarian National Integrated States. The exact composition of the Socialist Union of Confederated States shall be defined at a later date once the rule of the proletariat has been extended. New state symbols, including a flag, a coat of arms and an anthem (the “Internationale”) are hereby introduced.

- The Grand Duke, his sister, his cousins and cousines, aunts and uncles and anyone bearing the surname Shakhovskoy or even somehow related to it are to be exiled to Bobruisk. Return forbidden under pain of death.

- All titles of nobility are hereby revoked and the Archives of Peerage shall be burnt as to erase all trace of the decadent anachronic system.

- The Taraskovyan Orthodox Church and the Church of the Seven Deities, as the two decadent organizations responsible for the brainwashing of the proletariat’s mind, shall be dissolved. All other religions organizations shall be dissolved.

- All riches belonging to rich businessmen and to the churches shall be confiscated and used to fund the liberation struggle of the Taraskovyan proletariat against the former regime.

- All Taraskovyans are to be happy and rejoice. Happiness is mandatory.

- A voluntary mandatory conscript military service is hereby introduced to ensure a swift and efficient defeat of the bourgeois imperialist capitalist national traitor scum.

The Army of People’s Enforcing shall oversee that the above decrees are observed and abided by throughout all territories subordinate to the People’s Committee for National Salvation.

Workers of all countries, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Knootian bourgeois capitalists overthrown in the Great Sister Revolution!

THE HAGUE - cheering crowds of workers have gathered at Revolution Square (formerly the Malieveld) to celebrate their solidarity with the People's Committee for National Salvation and the Glorious Peoples Revolution in the Socialist Union of Confederated States of Tarasokovya.

The United Committee of Workers In The Communitarian Soviet Of Worker Federations Under The National Congress For The Communist Revolution In Knootoss has seized power in The Hague, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht, with the exuberant soldiers spontaneously joining in with the revolution and shooting their reactionary officers. Terrified of this demonstration of the peoples might, the capitalist "Prime Minister" Daatman and the reactionary bourgeois government have fled to set up a treacherous "government in exile" in the imperialist monarchist state of Pantocratoria. The United Committee of Workers In The Communitarian Soviet Of Worker Federations Under The National Congress For The Communist Revolution In Knootoss has demanded that these betrayers of the people are extradited immediately, to be given a fair trial before a Peoples Court and a humane execution.

Following the Will of the People, the new government has proclaimed a new Soviet Peoples Federation of Knootoss, Knootian Colombia, Nieuw Rotterdam and Ale-Yarok (SPF KK-CN-RA-L) which shall have a new flag and anthem (the Internationale). This newspaper, too, fully supports the glorious revolution. Rumours that journalists are being forced at gunpoint to write this, and appealing to all the capitalist traitor states for immediate extraction are lies and should be ignored.

Official Diplomatic Message

To the New Governments of Tarasovka and Knootoss,

Feel free to send and/or exile your "undesirable citizens" to Cookesland where we will gladly receive them. We have taken in monarchs and nobility who have been overthrown in coup d'etates before and still wish to offer them sanctuary. We hope you will consider our offer rather than resorting to pointles bloodshed.

Best Wishes,

Over in the Indian Soviet Commonwealth of Beth Gellert, the better part of eight and a half billion comrades look up from their undiluted wine and rice-and-spice/cheese-and-bread for long enough to swear/gasp in surprise as half the world turns red.

An immigrant, still partially bound to that silly calendar, coughs timidly and raises a dissenting hand.

"Ah, crap!"

The struggle continues.

(Pretty dramatic, though. Jolly good show!)

"Knootoss, Ruha?"

The Director of Foreign Affairs Thuryaman Pendankr leaned back in his overstuffed chair and breathed out. His assistant, Ruha, nodded.

"Yes, sir. Formerly high-profile in the UN, they'd just begun to get back into the debates, according to Prince Tang's reports."

"Ahuh. Well, do we have any ties with them?"

"Other than any professional relationships that might exist between the two UN offices, none. I confess, sir, that our interception of the communist broadcast was something of a surprise. As far as we know they don't even have the capability of accessing our subspace network. It raises questions about foreign information penetrating our borders... Vardacia comes to mind, sir."

"Ahuh. Well... there's not much we need to worry ourselves about. Looks like the Knootian government has fled the country largely intact... Let's send a report to the Star Chamber and let them sort it out."

Ruha bowed. "Yes, sir." He then turned and left to make his report to the Privy Councillors.

"Can't really say that it did sir." said his chief advisor, Derick Stallman while also the t.v. where shouts of "Death to Capitalism!" and Cookeslandic Flags were being burned.

"Does the Blue Eyed Man have any info on this place, Derick?" said the Secretary.

"None that i'm aware of." replied Derick "but, im sure i could get Jeffrey to look into the files." he added.

"Yes, please get on that." said Secretary Andolor without taking his eyes off the screen.

Derick quickly left the room looking for Jeffrey.

Knootian Prime Minister to be executed: Emperor placates Bolshevik mobs

A crowd of approximately six thousand Communist protestors forced their way into the Imperial Court of Christ Pantocrator in the Old Quarter of New Rome today, with violence almost breaking out between the Varangian Guard and the mob.

The confrontation between the soldiers and the protestors was only narrowly avoided by the Emperor himself eventually ordering the Varangians to stand aside and to allow the crowd into the palace grounds.

Appearing to the crowd from a balcony overlooking the courtyard in which the statue of the Emperor Constantine the Great stands, the Emperor heard the remonstrances of the Bolshevik protestors, who threatened to take the palace if their demands were not met.

After private negotiations between the Emperor and the protest leaders behind closed doors, both parties emerged after some eighty minutes to announce a compromise to the crowd.

The protestors agreed to drop their demands for the liquidation of Pantocratoria's noble and gentry classes barring the Imperial Family themselves in exchange for the Emperor assenting to their demands to immediately prosecute and subsequently execute former Knootian Prime Minister Jan Willem Daatman and the members of his cabinet in exile.

Monsieur Daatman and his cabinet colleagues fled the Low Countries after the socialist revolution there which saw the formation of the Soviet People's Federation, forming a government in exile in New Rome despite the objections of some Imperial Government backbenchers, who did not want it to be considered that Pantocratoria was interfering in Knootian affairs.

The Varangian Guard arrested Monsieur Daatman and his cabinet in exile at the Hôtel Feus-Bleus in southern New Rome, and brought them to the Imperial Court of Christ Pantocrator itself, where an emergency session of the Serene Court, presided over by the Emperor himself, tried the Knootian government-in-exile for "crimes against the international working class", a newly defined crime created by a retrospective statute applying only to non-Imperial Citizens issued just minutes before by the Emperor.

Monsieur Daatman refused to enter a plea but several other members of his cabinet, including Femke Vologdov, formerly Comtesse de Pereslavl prior to the revolution in the Socialist Union of Confederated States, pleaded not guilty.

Some thirty two minutes later, all defendants were found guilty on all counts and sentenced to be executed by the electric wheel within twenty-four hours.

As there is no higher court than the Serene Court convened in the Imperial Court of Christ Pantocrator, there can be no appeal.

The court issued a gag order, preventing Monsieur Daatman and his co-defendants from speaking to the press.

Royal Family To Be Executed As Army Takes Zoria

The glorious Red Bannered Worker’s Space Fleet of the Army of People’s Enforcing exterminated the reactionary remnants of the former National Defence Forces in orbit over Venus and allowed for the orbital para-drop of the Marxist-Leninist Worker’s Red Bannered Guards Detached Strike Corps “Friedrich Engels” onto planetary surface. The Detached Strike Corps successfully assaulted and conquered the Duchy of Zoria in a blitz-campaign.

The reactionary TNDF 3rd Suomi Strike Corps led by “General-Poruchik” Ville Saarinen opposed a stiff resistance to the liberatory Marxist-Leninist Worker’s Red Bannered Guards Detached Strike Corps “Friendrich Engels”. Many worker soldiers have been killed by the reactionary fascist pigs. But even the famed suomi mercenary henchmen of the “Emperor In Denial” could not save him from the wrath of the proletariat!

Lorelei, the capital of Zoria, has fallen this morning and the Royal Family in its entirety has been arrested while attempting to flee even further, surely into Menelmacar. Its members shall be given a fair trial and a humane execution before sunset. Workers throughout the Socialist Union poured onto the streets to celebrate the news of the Tyrant’s pending execution, along with all those of the Shakhovskoy oppressors. People have danced and sang praises to the Marxist-Leninist Party of the Socialist Union, to Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx as the ideological fathers of Socialist Union’s Marxist-Leninist ideology, and to the members of the People’s Committee for National Salvation for ensuring national salvation!

With the fall of Zoria, all of the former Taraskovyan territory is now firmly under the liberatory Worker’s rule of the Socialist Union of Confederated States. The People's Committee for National Salvation of the Marxist-Leninist Party of the Socialist Union of Confederated States has announced that the Socialist Union shall consist of the following People’s Egalitarian National Integrated States:

- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Northern Dakathia
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Central Dakathia
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Southern Dakathia
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Northern Cardinia
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Southern Cardinia
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Uthar
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Aphyr
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Tavaroth
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Zoria
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Nyi-Gardarika
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Dreamreach
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of New Crimea
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Venom
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Atlantic Island
- the People’s Egalitarian National Integrated State of Icewind Isles
- the People’s Autonomous National Transitional Integrated Egalitarian States of Federated Omeldor-1 Domes
- the People’s Autonomous National Transitional Integrated Egalitarian States of Federated Os Sanglants
- the People’s Autonomous National Transitional Integrated Egalitarian States of the Socialist Haven Federation

All praise the advent of the Socialist Union of Confederated States! And remember, Comrades, happiness is mandatory!

Ominous figures moved. Ominous in that they were necrons, certainly, but bulkier and more terrible even than lords and immortals, for they were something ‘new’ or rather, something very old. They flexed talon-like fingers, and moved as a dull light emanating from deep inside them grew in potency a little, and they hefted weapons as bulky as they were, testing phase-shifting devices and preparing themselves. A larger, shining golden figure that drifted slightly above the ground and now and then twitched in impatience waited, and when they were ready, nodded to some unseen signal.

They vanished, and in the same instant, appeared at their destination; somewhere in Zoria, where they suspected the Tarasovkan royalty were being held.

They weren’t the only ones. The vast facilities of Sentinel One contained… millions of necrons, and they were rapidly being emptied, as the sizeable portion of the necron fleet that orbited Venus began to fire on any vessel they suspected of being ‘red.’

They weren’t alone in that, either. Massive ground-based weapons sent lightning arcs long enough to reach from Earth to its moon into orbit, which crackled around the ‘ring’ in orbit of the planet, and leapt down towards those same ships.

There was no press release about it though.

Some Breaking News Story
Reactionary Coalition Attacks The Peaceful Socialist Union!

The Supreme Command of the Army of People’s Enforcing has confirmed that the ships of the Red Bannered Worker’s Space Fleet came under fire from joint fleets of a Reactionary Fascist Coalition in orbit of Venus. The Coalition, led by the oppressive Empires of C’tan and Menelmacar, has committed an act of direct aggression against the peaceful Socialist Union of Confederated State, without any preliminary declaration of war.

Ivan Shtupidov, Chairman of the People’s Committee for National Salvation, is about to address the nation.

“Fellow Taraskovyans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. The Grand Duchy is no more. Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom; a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection?

The time has come my fellow Taraskovyans, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many, we shall forge an indivisible whole, capitulating only to a single Party! And that Party shall watch over you.

From this day forward, let no Communist make war upon any other Communist. Let no Communist state conspire against this new beginning. And let no man consort with reactionary imperialist powers.

And to all the enemies of Communism, seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through, no matter the cost!”

Workers from all over Taraskovya have been turning up to enroll into the Army of People’s Enforcing. The Red Bannered Worker’s Space Fleet continues to wage battle against the reactionary scum in orbit over Venus and its victory is near! Even if the reactionary counterrevolutionaries have numerical advantage, this is nothing in front of the mighty fist of the proletariat.

Lorelei, Zoria, Venus

The city of Lorelei had not fallen into communist hands, not entirely at least. Due to its modular structure, comprising gigantic cylinders linked to each other through tunnels, the royalist soldiers managed to secure quite a few neighbourhoods from the advancing reds. And since both forces were using the same kind of armour and equipment, the royalist soldiers resorted to putting pieces of blue cloth on their arms. The communists were already using red cloth (obviously).

Both sides used a variety of Taraskovyan weaponry, including the renowned Squad Support Weapons, which used railgun concept to propel tandem piercing-explosive grenade rounds at their enemies at a machine gun rate. The rounds, of 20mm caliber, pierced just like bullets and then blew up inside the enemy, causing severe damage to anything inside.

Of course, rocket launchers, plasma guns, tanks, APCs and even tactical nuclear missiles were used abundantly as the Reds wished to get done with the reactionary forces as soon as possible, while the Royalists wanted to fight off the Reds and rescue the Royal family. The civilian population rallied the royalist cause and was waging guerilla warfare throughout various modules, mostly using weapons from police armouries.

Lorelei, all in all, was not a pretty sight and it was a VERY hot spot.

WAR!!!!

THE HAGUE - declaring "complete solidarity with the proletariat forces of the peaceful Socialist Union of Confederated States", Great Supreme Leader Around Whom The Sun Revolves Chairman Adolf Mao has mobilised the Knootian Peoples Army for the defence of the Communist cause against the fascist alien aggressors in orbit around Venus.

The United Committee of Workers In The Communitarian Soviet Of Worker Federations Under The National Congress For The Communist Revolution In Knootoss cheered as the Great Supreme Leader Around Whom The Sun Revolves announced that the Knootian Peoples Army would strike hard and fast against those capitalist reactionaries who would dare to threaten the accomplishments of the Sister Revolution.

"From now on, the united peoples of the Soviet Peoples Federation of Knootoss, Knootian Colombia, Nieuw Rotterdam and Ale-Yarok will not rest until those aliens have embraced peace and the enlightened path of Adolf-Maoist communism. This is a war of National Defence, but also a war to liberate the huddled masses that yearn for Freedom under the Necontyr yoke." a statement from the government said.

The war is expected to be over soon, as the forces of the enemy will surely join the unstoppable tide of April Revolutions!

Earth

Bang.

That was pretty much the only response of the necrons to the Knootian announcement. The ‘bang’ of a million megatons exploding over the land of Knootoss, turning fields, and its massive conurbations into a roiling sea of liquefied matter under a titanic column of vapour…

They’d been wanting to do that for so long.

That’s what happens when you tell Asirnoth to just ‘handle it.’ He was only irritated that he’d not had time to actually consume the Knootians too.

Venus

Necrons shimmied across the landscape. Lorelei wasn’t an easy place to fight in, far from it in fact, and more often than not, the necron warriors proved a useless second fiddle to their aerial infantry units, hovering gravitic hybrid forms with heavier weapons but considerably fewer in numbers. Casualties among the necrons were considerable, and at higher altitudes, the effectiveness of self-repair systems was reduced drastically, as when they were damaged, the debris tended to be spread out over a wide area, leaving the only option being to fade away to nothing.

And on the ground, necrons found themselves in among an endless landscape of castle style towers.

But it was all a distraction…

And so the Princess was saved from the spooky red Dragon who wanted to chop her head off. And Communism prevailed elsewhere. Simply because it was April the 1st.

On April the 1st, and for twenty four hours, everything was possible. A Monarch beloved by his people and wielding infinite loyalty amongst his soldiers could be overthrown. The same Monarch, who has proven a fearless soldier himself and who survived his own death, could suddenly become a coward and flee without a fight.

The people, known for their staunch conservatism, religiousness and adherence to free market values, could suddenly become fanatics of socialism and collectivization.

And abroad, a libertarian folk that staunchly defended capitalism and democracy would also somehow succumb to the cause of communism, just out of the blue

But it did not matter, because for twenty four hours everything was possible. It was a Dreamworld, full of events that never happened and will never happen. And so, as the clock ticked on, the Dreamworld vanished, to leave place to reality.

Until next time the Dreamworld came around with a new surprise…

OOC: Well, it’s been 24 hours now since this thread began. Thank you all for playing the game. And if you are one of those who believed it was real, well, you are an April’s Fool! =D And I know there are a few around.
