In the southern hills of the Attican Mountain Range, a prospector by the name of Gregor Durchhause discovered a few flecks of gold in a river running from the mountain range. News spread thru Attican newspapers like wildfire. The Attican Kaiser sent 2 government prospectors to the site, and confirmed it is one of the largest gold deposits in world history, possibly. People began pouring into the region, but the Kaiser, adament on keeping the gold government owned (the mountain range is govenment property), sent Ueberheerschars XX and XXI, approximately 198,000 troops, to secure the mountain range from prospectors.

The prospectors, and civilian miners, wanting to mine the gold for themselves, began staging protests. The government remained adament.

Small militia bands began being created in southern Attika. It seemed as a southern revolution might be sparked, and the entire country could be divulged into a civil war because of this yellow mineral.

Tensions are high, as what the south Atticans call the "Provisorium Staatsregierung aus Suedattika", or Provisionary Government of Attica, are demanding that the Imperial Government of Attica recognize southern independence, while the miners don't seem to lean either way, and just want to mine. The Imperial Government has not recognized the provisionary government, and send Ueberheerschars XXII and XXV, with 99,000 regular infantry and 39,780 Kaiserheer, or special forces, to south Attika to forcefully disassemble this provisional government.

The President congratulates Attica on its find, and hopes that this will not spark a civil war. He also wishes all sides to be aware that he will be monitoring the situation personnally and that the USIHS Hornet Battlegroup will remain on station on its regular training routine.


OOC:Thats like the Americans do so that they always have at least one carrier in the Gulf an stuff like that.

500 Gold Bars were stolen by activists from an Attican Mine Storage facility, each one was worth about 400KLM each, or about $800 USD.

To express it's extreme generosity (and to curtail future theft), the Attican Empire has chosen to donate 2 bars of pure gold (worth 1000KLM, or 2000USD) to every bank in the world. (This is one of the largest deposits ever found, so we are generous :)

The king also congratulates Attica on the discovery of so much gold, and hopes that in the future they could set up trading routes between the countries. Should a civil war spark you are garaunteed to have my support in extinguishing the rebels. I've that union strikes are a big problem in your country (it says in the look up thing) so violence may be hard to avoid.

If you need them, I will send off a portion of my riot teams towards Attica to help keep the peace. They hardly see any action and would welcome the experience in dealing with protests.

Gimme Gimme!

A group of 'rebels' shot BBs at some Attican soldiers, hitting one in the eye. The soldiers followed suit, and basically severely wounded both 'rebels'..
