MERIDIAN FALLS – An explosion rocked the capital city of New Kevlandia early this morning as rebel forces stormed government buildings and took the small, only recently formed police forces, completely by surprise. There are reports of dozens of deaths and numerous civilian casualties in the brief but intense fighting in the streets of the capital. Hospitals are flooded with the wounded and dying as a few lingering firefights continue throughout the city at this hour.

New Kevlandian emperor, Kevinius Maximus III, is currently on a twelve nation diplomatic tour attempting to foster relations between various foreign nations and his newly formed country. Taking advantage of his absence, a rebel force calling themselves the “Red Star Army” have attacked and overrun the capital city of Meridian Falls and two neighboring cities, Grand Pass and Astoria, are under siege.

The previously unknown rebel group, the “Red Star Army” is led by a man who calls himself Generalissimo Guapo Junta and claims that “the Emperor’s rule over Kevlandia is illegal and unauthorized.” On a statement read by Gen. Junta on state sponsored television, he went on to say that “the people of New Kevlandia have a right to be governed by the code of law, my code of law” and that he is instituting a “powerful leadership caste that will take the people of New Kevlandia out of the dark age and into the Red Age!” What the "Red Age" is, is still unclear at this point.

The empire of New Kevlandia is a newly formed nation and was just recently admitted into the United Nations. New Kevlandian Foreign Minister, Walter Raleigh Trenton, currently on a diplomatic mission to the United Nations spoke to reporters briefly before going into a closed door meeting, calling the coup “an unprovoked and unconscionable attack on the peaceful people of New Kevlandia that threatened the stability and security of the entire region” and warned that the aggression would be met with a “strong and fierce” response by the New Kevlandian government. Trenton believed the international response would be extremely negative and hoped that the UN would back an "appropriate response."

<<Transcript of secret conversation between the Secretary of State and the Holy Druzian Emperor>>

Secretary of State: Sir, there has been a coup in New Kevlandia. We need to help them.

Holy Druzian Emperor: A coup where?

Secretary of State: Sir, New Kevlandia.

Holy Druzian Emperor: New Kevganfia? Where the heck is that?

Secretary of State: Sir, New Kevlandia not New Kevganfia. It is a new nation in Pax Aequatius with a lot of potential.

Holy Druzian Emperor: Forget it, we are too tired to help anyone. Before you leave, tell Condi to come in and ask her to wear that cute bra. She looks hot in that. And ask Laura to send in a box of my condoms from our bedroom. I don't want Condi to get pregnant again.

Provided the Emperor is a good guy (i.e. doesn't slaughter people or have some other wacko hobby), Remiesia would be willing to assist you if necessary.

Just annex the guy and finish it up. I am sure you are aware of the advantages of having puppet regimes.

:twisted:

And what exactly are you implying there? How am I "aware of the advantages of puppet regimes?"

OOC: I hate international politics. Everyone tries to act so naive, while in the shadows, they are busy trying to whoop everyone else's ass.

IC: Think about it. What advantage can you have of a puppet regime?



And what exactly are you implying there? How am I "aware of the advantages of puppet regimes?"

None. We're not imperialists.

we are willing to assist you.

I am...I resent the implication thats a bad thing. We have a perfected method for controlling other countries too, heh. :twisted: Join the League of Imperialist Gentlemen! You get a free Pygmie shooter, swiss chocolate, french wine, and a complimentary fruit basket.

Even though, we are maxed out, we would still like to see support for going into NK and setting up a more democratic regime.

If you are interested, post below.

MERIDIAN FALLS – Small gun battles persist to erupt in the capital city as the few remaining pockets of resistance to the rebel “Red Star Army” continue to fight. After only ten hours of fighting, almost half the country is already under the control of Generalissimo Guapo Junta and his rebel army, which is estimated to number approximately 120,000.

The Federal Republic of New York and New Jersey, Foreign Secretary Issac Whitmore today, confirmed that an offer of Asylum has been made by his country to Emperor Kevinius Maximus III of New Kevlandia. No word yet on whether the Emperor has accepted. When asked whether or not his country’s mobilization of their IV Army Corps, Whitmore said “no comment”.

The international community seems to be still evaluating the emerging situation and there has not been a response from the United Nations as of yet, but one is expected shortly. An ambassador for the Holy Empire of the Druze, a UN delegate nation, refused comment claiming that he has not yet had the opportunity to consult the Holy Druzan Emperor because of the Emperor’s “personal commitments” but claimed that he assured New Kevlandian Foreign Minister, Walter Raleigh Trenton that his country was taking the matter very seriously.

A spokesperson for the The United States of Remiesia said that Remiesia is considering the possibility of some sort of intervention or assistance to the New Kevlandian government, but was currently investigating the civil rights record of the new nation before committing any actions. While still a very young nation, New Kevlandia is not known to be on the UN watchlist of civil rights violators.

The Holy Druzian Emperor has decided to commit 1500 of its Alpha-Delta Specialist teams to penetrate New Kevlandia and evaluate the situation.

We will also send 1200 of our Beta-Gamma Corps into the New Kevlandian capital to evaluate whether annexation would be a viable option.

by order of:

The Holy Druzian Emperor
Master of Allawi and the Druze

*Tercero Xavier Delryn Looks over the reports*


"Well this isnt a good sign....maybe we should commit troops, never know when we can wrangle yet mroe trade concessions from other nations. "

*sips a pungent cup of cinnamon coffee*

"Its an imperalist based government, right? Im sure they wouldnt mind a larger empire taking them under their wing. Authorize the mobilization of the Royal Dragoons (light, exceedingly quick blitz infantry). I want them to have an idea of where we stand as regards 'rebels'. Maybe we can even bribe the emperor they got...."

*the aide salutes the Tercero and exits the room, setting up an authorization of 2100 soldiers (2 divisions) of the Royal Dragoons (2000 soldiers, 100 officers). The VTOL jets prepare for a smash and grab operation.*

OOC: Didn't suspect anything, just wanted to make sure that this emperor was considered to be "the good guy" in this case. Don't want to back some crackpot rebel :)

IC: It seems the situation in New Kevlandia has grown considerably worse than it first appeared. A light amphibious assault group is being assembled and the Joint Chiefs are discussing all possible options for intervention.

For now, a pair of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are lingering in international waters off the coast of New Kevlandia, monitoring radio traffic from the captial.

Of course we await a formal request, or at least approval, from the Emperor before we take any action.

NEW YORK – According to UN sources, UN delegate nation, The United Socialist States of Syncomp15, has offered “support” to Emperor Kevinius Maximus’ regime versus Generalissimo Guapo Junta and his Red Star Army. Another UN delegate nation, the Holy Empire of the Druze, has stepped forward to suggest that a “more democratic regime” be installed in New Kevlandia. No word from the New Kevlandian Foreign Minister on the ambassador’s statement.

In a bizarre incident, the ambassador of the Holy Empire of the Druze and a diplomat from The United States of Remiesia got into an argument over the New Kevlandian situation. No details on what in particular caused the disagreement and it did not escalate past a few harsh words.

*Tercero Xavier Delryn sends a letter to the emperor of New Kevlandia*

Dear Sir,

We have recieved word of this atrocious attack by rebellious pests in your country. Recognizing a common stance as regards actions agaisnt such populist dictatorships would be beneficial to your nation and our own. We have an advance force of about two thousand men under the capable leadership of General Corrinos (back from Espario) on standby, with far more ready to be sent if necessary. In return, we would ask that New Kevlandia would act as a favorable market for Crownguardian goods, and perhaps a protectorate status for your nation. We are eager for your reply.

Respectfully Yours,
Tercero Xavier Delryn
Third in Command of Crownguard
Head of Military and Foreign Affairs

OOC: Ooops...that post was initially going to be a warning for Druze not to take advantage of the situation to take over New Kevlandia. Decided to leave that part out but quote stayed behind....so...

IC: We strongly advise Druze not to attempt to use this situation to "annex" New Kevlandia. Not that you could at your size, for your army probably isn't worth the ground it stands on, but if you should try, we will have two targets instead of just one.

The Sultanate of Franco Slaughter is prepared to render its aid. I heard that the damn rebels are being led by Charles de Gaulle XXXIV anyway, and he just simply sux. Kill 'em all.

The Sultanate of Franco Slaughter is prepared to render its aid. I heard that the damn rebels are being led by Charles de Gaulle XXXIV anyway, and he just simply sux. Kill 'em all.

CEO Wilson slammed his fist down on the table, causing all china within 15 feet to rattle loudly.

"On my order, I want every bomber and tanker mobilized. Get 'em loaded, and get 'em in the air. Call up Sealift Command - every transport available is to be loaded in thirty-six hours; get those Manatees moving, people! I want enough armor available to cover the entire country in a mobile plate of steel! Get the paras moving, too; we'll fill the skies with blossoming 'chutes! Throw in, oh, 30 carrier battle groups for good measure; a week of round-the-clock bombing should soften 'em up! While you're at it, kick the Strategic Rocket Forces and our SDI people to Condition Alpha!"

Everyone paused.

Wilson stood, his dour face contorted in rage. Then, he cracked up. Defense, Agriculture, and Resources all did their best not to shoot coffee from their nostrils. Gales of laughter boomed throughout the huge conference room.

"'New Kevlandia'? Are they even on a map?" Wilson choked on his danish as he tried to regain control of himself.

"Anyway, let's have the reports from Commerce. . . "

500,000 Druzian soldiers have penetrated NK territory and are facing heavy fire from rebels. Over 100 have been killed and about 76 injured.

We will air-drop 130,000 soldiers into NK's capital within the hour to secure the Presidential Palace and the Parliament.

The remaining 170,000 soldiers will remain on standby until further notice.

We have also decided to construct a military base in South NK. Permission requested.

NEW YORK – In a prepared statement, New Kevlandian Foreign Minister, Walter Raleigh Trenton, called upon the United Nations to assist his nation against the rebel Red Star Army which is “needlessly killing” his people and creating a “dangerous situation of anarchy and panic”. Over six hundred people are reported killed in the day long fight for the capital city thus far. The Red Star Army, led by Generalissimo Guapo Junta, claims to control more than 65% of the country. New Kevlandian government estimates place it at around 35%.

In a show of unity, the Empire of Crownguard, the United States of Remiesia and the Sultanate of Franco Slaughter have all offered support and assistance, along with The Federal Republic of New York and New Jersey and UN delegate nation, The United Socialist States of Syncomp15 to the beleaguered nation of New Kevlandia.

You forgot the 730,000 Druzian soldiers fighting for your liberty right now...

We shall withdraw all our forces within the hour.

MERIDIAN FALLS – Gunfire and explosions rock the city capital as thousands of paratroops from the Holy Empire of the Druze rain down upon the city. The fighting is intense in the streets, but the rebel forces do not seem to be a match for the Druzian paratroopers and are taking heavy casualties.

On state sponsored television, Generalissimo Guapo Junta claims that the Holy Empire of the Druze is unjustly invading “his nation” and insists that the international community not stand for the “evil actions by this arrogant and stupid man” (referring to the Holy Druzian Emperor). He was unable to finish his statement however, as the power was cut in the city, shutting down the nearby television station.

OOC: Well this has turned into a giant suckfest. 800,000 troops? Impossible for a nation your size. Forget this.

NEW YORK – The New Kevlandian Foreign Minister, Walter Raleigh Trenton was surprised at the “quick and immediate” response by the Holy Empire of the Druze. Trenton claimed that he did not know the Druzian army was planning a military action but said that he was “pleasantly surprised.” He continued that his nation is “very appreciative of the support” that his nation has received and is “especially thankful to the Holy Druzian Emperor and brave soldiers from Druze.”

*The Royal Dragoons are deployed on the outskirts of the capital, quickly moving in to consolidate a position in the suburbs. The rest of the main divisions of the Royal Stormtroopers are elevated to Defcon 3 as regards the Druze's "noble" attempt at retaking the country. 730,000 men seemed a bit TOO generous by far for such a peacekeeping effort, especially from such a small nation. it smacked of a blitzkrieg war.*

*Flash message to Emperor of New Kevlandia*

This is Tercero Xavier Delryn of Crownguard <stop> Druze forces may be planning annexation of territory <stop Request permission to enter country if need to be prevent such annexation <stop> Request permission for overflights of CAF fighters as well <stop>

Good, then. Our forces will continue to restore peace and order in NK. Please advise the Emperor to abstain from coming into NK till atleast the rebel forces have been subdued.

People who know how to play NS hate you :)

OOC: God, how I hate these stupid pricks.

Assuming that I'm in that group, let me just say that you should pay attention. Should you try to RP against a serious player, you'll get yourself ignored into oblivion.

3% is too high, my friend, unless they all have pointy sticks and rocks.

Carry on. Just don't be surprised in the future when some hard-core player takes your head off.

<<<Official Imperial Transmission>>>

To: Tercero Xavier Delryn

I have been asked to inform you that your request for permission for overflights and for all territorial landing rights are hereby granted until further notice. The emperor appreciates the support and actions by your nation.

Sincerely,
Walter Raleigh Trenton
Foreign Ministerof New Kevlandia

Alright, all Druze forces have been withdrawn. May your nation be ruined by the rebels.

Don't sulk. You could leave, say, 50k - 100k without completely wrecking your economy. It would be a strain, of course.

*The Tercero looks over the report and grins*

"Wonderful, I want two men for every man the Druze send to that nation. I want CAF flights kept in the air at all times in case war should break out. In addition, all divisions are ordered to march towards the capital, but stay 15 km away from it, we dotn wish to appear as if we are seizing the country. if the Druze open fire, well, let their "God" save them from OUR wrath."
*he chuckles, looking over the maps again as he sips his coffee*

Druze forces hereby requested to vacate New Kevlandia and capital upon overthrow of Red<stop> You are no peacekeeping mission with such amounts of forces <stop> Failure to comply will result in catastrophic losses to you <stop>

MERIDIAN FALLS – After a diplomatic impasse, Druzian forces have begun to “withdraw” from the capital city Missy Tifton, New Kevlandian ambassador to the UN said in an interview. The Incorporated States of Sleveeria and the United States of Remiesia, both suspicious of the forces marshalled by the small nation of Druze, apparently angered the Druzian high command with unknown remarks and thereby prompted the quick removal of the Druzian military from New Kevlandia.

The Empire of Crownguard has moved forces into the country, but remain a few miles outside the capitol’s city limits. Crownguard claims their force is only present to watch over the peaceful withdrawl of Druzian forces from New Kevlandian territory.

In the capitol city, chaos continued to reign as the Red Star Army continued it’s attack on the government infrastructure, killing an estimated 400 additional civilians.

Druzian forces may have withdrawn but our intel and sedition men still operate under cover. Your civil war will never end.

:twisted:

*The Tercero Looks over the report and nods*

"Good, thats one problem out of the way. Now then..send the Royal Dragoons in to seize that city..I will NOT accept failure agaisnt a bunch of rag-tag rebels. You are the best of the best...act as such."

*the aide salutes and wires a message, General Corrinos allows the 2100 strong Dragoons to march to take the capital city and secure it for the rightful ruler. An additional 4200 soldiers of the Dragoons are activated in the main army, in case a larger presenc eis needed. The rest of the main army continues its watch on the situation from the outskirts of the town.*

Druzian intel office, Kevin Fartedallthetime, has reported that he has delivered an undisclosed amount of money to the Rebel leader to annihilate the industrial region of NK.

MERIDIAN FALLS – Reports in the capital city estimate that over two thousand Crownguard Royal Dragoons have begun to fight their way into the city. Of the estimated 120,000 rebel troops, over 65,000 of them are believed to be fighting in Meridian Falls with the remaining 55,000 spread out amongst other smaller cities.

While outmatched by the superior Royal Dragoon, the Red Star rebel army has begun to take very heavy casualties. In the first hour of fighting reports list over 3,000 rebel troops have been killed or injured. The Royal Dragoon casualty number is unknown at this time.

Generalissimo Guapo Junta made a plea to the international community to “stomp out this imperialistic scourge of Crownguard!” There has been no reply from the Crownguard high command.

*The Tercero once more pours over the reports*


"Hmm, very well. Time to play diplomacy....I want New Kevlandian forces to enter the capitol and the other two cities with us, side by side. We arent here to conquer, not this time. Dispatch Divisions 2 and 3 and 5 of the Royal Stormtroopers (30,000 men/women) to assist in Meridian Falls, and Divisions 1 and 4 (20,000 men/women) are to report to the other surrounding locales. Royal Dragoons are to act as intel/counterterrorist force in Meridian Falls in support of main army. Divisions 6 to 10 are ordered to stay on standby alert, the rest of the army is to fall back to Crownguard."

*Finishes yet another cup of coffee*

"I would like the Emperor's permission to send the rest of our forces to protect the capital, it would be good politics and publicity. Send him a line explaining what we wish to do, and to authorize New Kevlandian forces to attack with us."

*the aide salutes and rushes off as the various units are mobilized*

MERIDIAN FALLS – The battle for the capital city of New Kevlandia continued to rage throughout the night. The Royal Crownguard forces numbering over fifty thousand strong, assisted the small but determined New Kevlandian National Guard, numbering less than 20,000, in retaking the capital in the early hours of the morning. The Royal Crownguard losses are estimated at just over 70 in the urban combat that took the lives of over 38,000 rebel troops.

The remaining rebel forces began to surrender or flee the city by daybreak. The citizens of Meridian Falls came out to greet the Crownguard and New Kevlandian forces as they marched into the city and cheered when the New Kevlandian flag was raised upon the capitol building.

Damage estimates for the coup have been estimated between $500-600 million dollars with over 70,000 people killed in the two day long fight. Gen. Junta and his closest associates have somehow disappeared in the fighting and have not been located. Sporadic pockets of rebel insurgents continue to fight, but the Royal Crownguard Stormtroopers continue to eliminate or capture the remaining rebel forces.

MERIDIAN FALLS – Upon the steps of the Imperial Senate, Emperor Kevinius Maximus III declared that “this day shall forever be known as Tercero Xavier Delryn Day, “in honor of the leader of the brave men who fought for our independence.” “My gratitude and the thanks of all New Kevlandians go out to Tercero Delryn and the Crownguard military for their brave defense of our small nation.”

In recognition of the honor, Emperor Maximus III revealed plans for a statue of Tercero Delryn to be built in a nearby park.

*The Tercero smile sonce more as he recieves the report from General Corrinos*


"Excellent...we will hold memorial services for those brave men and women of the 70 lost in New Kevlandia and Crownguard. All are to be knighted as minor nobles. I want all Crownguard troops except for the Royal Dragoons to begin preparations for withdrawing from New Kevlandia. The Dragoons are to remain as a peacekeeping force and to root out "General" Junta from the surrounding countryside."

*the aide salutes and withdraws to relay the orders*

*Laughs as he recieves the report*

"Maybe I should tell them Tercero is a title.....oh well. I guess I should go visit to see my own wonderful image...."

"Aide?"

"Yes sir?"

"Prepare my personal plane...lets go visit New Kevlandia, I want to see if they got my good side. *chuckles*"

"Sir, yes sir!"

*preparations are made for the Tercero to visit New Kevlandia posthaste*

MERIDIAN FALLS – Xavier Delryn, Tercero of The Empire of Crownguard arrived in the capital city of Meridian Falls this morning. He was greeted by Emperor Kevinius Maximus III and given a tour of the still rebuilding city. Everywhere he went, Tercero Delryn encountered welcoming and appreciative New Kevlandians, each clamoring to thank the man that helped free their country.

Upon seeing the 40 ft tall statue of himself in beautiful Yuma Park, the Tercero smiled. A reporter asked Delryn if they got his good side and he jokingly retorted, “They’re all my good side!”, which drew laughter and applause from the assembled dignitaries and media.

"We shall retake Allawi. We shall retake Allawi and Druze," screamed the Holy Druzian Emperor while being restrained in his chair by his body guards. He later added, "We will not leave New Kevlandia either."

It is widely rumored that he has lost his mental balance.

*The Tercero mounts a platform to give a speech*


Dear friends and allies of Crownguard, the loyal citizens of New Kevlandia. Today is a new day, a day of peace and prosperity for your nation, and while our forces may have helped, it is always the will of the civilian population which sustains an army. *he pauses for cheers* Furthurmore, let New Kevlandia be considered a friend and ally under our wing if they should so wish, let there be free commerce between our two nations, let there be an end to the strife and fear these past few days and weeks have garnered. I look upon this country and see one not of bombed out ruins, but of building dreams. I see a place of promise, a land that can prosper as Crownguard has prospered under enlightened rule. We will not forget, we cannot forget the lives lost here in these lands, the great sacrifices your citizens have made, as have the seventy of our own lost here today. We can only rememeber their deeds, our words ring hollow compared to their debt of blood. It is for the dead to have peace from the ravages of the world, and for the living to create that peace from themselves and all peoples. May the sun never set on your benign land, and may our friendship never falter.

*he bows down, stepping away from the platform*

OOC: last post of the night...gtg)

Im back on...your up, New Kevlandia...or anyone else really. THe civil war seems to be over, but we havent found the ringleaders yet)
