The World News reports the situation:

"Count Rajif, the communist figurehead who controls 1/3 of Zwaza, was captured this morning in a joint-operation between police and Zwazan Defense Forces(ZDF). The operation suffered 3 deaths, and 14 injuries in the raid on the village in which the interim government of Zwaza was tipped off to Count Rajif's position.

This was an odd occurance as the operation bypassed the Princess and was enacted by interim government authority alone. This could very well show just how much power the Principality has lost. With one week left until the election of Zwaza's first Prime Minister, the interim government is taking measures to ensure that no interference will be made.

However, the wetlands has come under occupation by the ZDF. Several gunmen opened fire on the ZDF and resulted in two casualties. The gunmen retreated into the forest under pursuit by the occupation force."

OOC: Don't be too quick to send PeaceKeepers or anything. Diplomacy comes before Peacekeeping Missions.

World News Update:

"Count Rajif has been found guilty of War Crimes and Treason. He was sentenced to death. The execution date has been set to the 5th of March, 2004.

Several anti-terror raids were taken upon small villages in the Wetlands to arrest suspected gunmen. 107 men were taken into custody. They are currently under ZDF authority."

Telliria will do whatever neccisary to support your nation. We will send you any needed supplies, and will offer peacekeepers should they be needed.

Don't fail to ask for anything.

Vahn Winfield I
Emperor of Telliria
Grand Lord of Planith

His Grace the Grand Duke extends his greetings to the Princess and people of Zwana and warmly welcomes the capture of a terrorist and a communist. However, he has instructed me to inform you that the execution of Count Rajif, a fellow blue-blood whatever his political beliefs, cannot be countenanced by the government of Hoffenburg-Dominax.

Should the execution take place the Grand Duchy and its allies will respond with ultimate force, not only to rescue the Count, but to free the Princess from the worrying influence of the increasingly power-hungry Provisional Government of Zwana. Any interference by Telliria will be dealt with likewise.

You have been warned,
Grand Master of the Ducal Knights
General Marius von Krieg

Your nation is weak in comparison to me. Don't fuck with me.

Emperor of Telliria

Princess Leila Sennite responds to the worries of not only the Grand Duke, but of the millions of Zwazan protestors who took to the streets demanding Count Rajif to be freed. Her public statement was as such:

"Good people of Zwaza. Do not fear the over-stepping of power by the interim government. I will pardon Count Rajif of the Death Penalty and have the Royal Court pass a lighter sentence. Elections will take place! I won't let anyone interfere, so the staff of the interim government has shifted those responsibile for the brash actions out. This shall not happen again."

Many people are impressed by the boldness of the Princess, but some still think she hasn't done enough.

World News update:

"Rebels engage ZDF forces in the Wetlands. Explosions and gunfire is heard throughout the better part of the day. Casualties have been reported for the ZDF as 12 dead and 46 injured. Rebel loses have been estimated between 200 and 300. The ZDF has held off its pursuit of the routed enemy as night began to fall. Officials speculate that a early-morning operation could round up the rest with enough time."

Telliria would like permission to send these forces in to aide in the destruction of the enemy forces:

5,000 Legoineers
50 APCs
20 All Terrain Combat Vehicles
25 BlackHawk Helicopters

They will move in immediatly with your permission Zwaza.

The interim government of Zwaza considers the offer as they move elections back a week. A statement is made to the government of Telliria:

"Zwaza shall accept your offer under the conditions that Tellirian forces are only permitted in the Wetlands and must keep the Zwazan Command Post updated on reports and operations.

Zwazan Interim Council
Eguyro, Zwaza"

Tellirian troops moved in just as the command was given. They were heading to the wetlands.

"We give our promise that Tellirian troops will stay in the wetlands, however our helicopters will be landing, with your permission, at a airbase for re-fueling until they meet with the main group. We will pay for all costs incured."

"You have permission to land," comes a voice over the radio to Telliria's Aircraft. Zwaza's low number of airports tends to make them more protective of the runways. Security happens to be tight around the airfields.

Zwazan Command gets the update on the situation. Many of the superiors felt uncomfortable with the use of their airfields. An officer was sent to the Tellirian troop position. He will find the CO of the Tellirian troops and give him a letter from the Zwazan Command Post. It gives coordinates for the most recent hot spots in the Wetlands and carves up which territories the Tellirians must patrol.

I wish to help the zwaza goverment and would like to station 200,000 troops to solve the conflict. I would also contribute some of my best Ct specialist, assassins and mercinarys. I would also like to help out by contributing 1 billion dollars and to sell you weapons for free to destroy the rebel threat.

The most elite troops in Tellira were packing up their parachutes and preparing to load up in the APCs and Jeeps when the officer arrived. The soldiers saluted him as he passed and directed him to the commander in charge. The commander takes the note and nods, looking over it after a while he decides on a strategy.

By dividing his force in two, he can strike the two largest. With the help of the helicopters, and the darkness of night the attack should catch the enemy off guard, causing lots of casualities and prisoners.

The teams divide...

My troops have finally landed and started to search the area around them to make sure there was no visable enemy. The armor arrived to. They then got the suplies set up and were about to prepare to fight the enemy head on.

Zwazan Tactical Command(ZTC) goes ballistic over Yugolsavia entering their sovereign territory. "Who authorized this manuver?" questions the five-star general as he gets on the phone with the Ministry of Defense.

The Zwazan Interim Government serves an encrypted message to the Yugolsavian forces. It reads:

"A misunderstanding must have been made with your presence in Zwaza. However, if your troop size is not cut down by ninety percent within our sovereign territory, then Zwaza shall treat your forces as hostile. You have two days to comply to our demands."

As Tellirian troops moved in on their targeted areas, they came under gunfire from within the jungle. They would have to pursue the rebels in rough terrain which could pose a problem for the APCs.

The pre-dawn raid on a village by the ZDF forces yielded the capture of 3 suspected militants. A cache of rifles, ammunition, and explosives were seized in the raid. No doubt in this being a hinderance to the rebels.

"Ditch the APCs!" screams the commander of the forces! Troops begin running out, taking cover behind the APCs.

"Open up a volley of fire into that forest. Get the mortars ready!!"

Troops peak over, opening fire upon the forest. Several run to better locations, with mixed results. Mortar crews set up hastily behind APCs, and after a few minutes a bombard of fire begins into the jungle. The effect works nicely as the rebels begin to dispearse and flee.

"Groups 1 and 2 give chase! Groups 3 and 4 stay and guard!"

750 troups run off after the rebels, moving carefully to avoid traps and to see the fleeing troops.

"This is group A, we are requesting immediate air support to catch the fleeing rebels."

A few minutes later some 7 BlackHawks sweep over the jungle. The crews fire on enemy troops, easily telling the diffrence from the Tellirian troops. After around 1 hour of sweeping the groups return with around 5 injured prisoners and continue on to their target, having the APCs turn back and continuing on foot and All Terrain Combat Vehicles. Meanwhile the BlackHawks continue to fire upon the rebels below.

World News Update:

"With the increased violence in Zwaza's Wetlands, the Zwazan Interim Government has decided to increase Defense speading in order to deal with the rebel forces. With the increased speading, plans to dismantle The Heights of its heavy artillery have been halted to go under federal review. Furthermore, elections are being pushed back a week due to the security burden of the nation.

Coalition forces are making progress in the war against the Communist rebels. Zwazan Tactical Command has estimated that the rebels have suffered 1,300 casualties throughout the entire conflict. They also welcomed the surrender of Chief Jabiya, long time ally of Count Rajif. With the surrender 3,000 rebels were to be disarmed. The ZDF is currently relocating the rebels and their leader to a prison internment camp."

World News Update:

"The Zwazan Interim Government has declared victory over the rebel uprising. With Count Rajif and Chief Jabiya in custody, the rebels have no leaders in which to follow. Many of the remaining gunmen have surrendered or escaped into the jungles to avoid the wrath of the ZDF task force as it swept through the Wetlands. Resistance seems to have completely died down, but the Zwazan Interim Government sees a need for the occupational force to stay for a month in order to strengthen the government's presence and infrastructure in the Wetlands."

The Kingdom of Aberlee welcomes the news regarding an end to the violence. They also, however, caution against letting the situation get out of hand, and, respectfully, urge the interim government to hold the elections as soon as possible.

The commanders troops were a little behind the other group, who was now fighting. As the group of 1,200 soldiers finally came into view of the enemy camp. The effect would be even better the commander decided, the enemy would be thrown into confusion as a rear attack completely shattered morale and the line. It happened immediatly...

Mortars opened fire first, followed soon by Tellirian troops firing heavily on enemy lines. The battle was quick and decisive as the troops fled or died. After an hour these numbers were released:

REBELS
Lost:3,500
Captured:1,500
Escaped:250

TELLIRIA
Lost: 345
Injured: 823

The captured will be returned to the Zwaza goverment, and the Tellirians will remain to keep the peace on election day. The Empress wishes the best of luck to the Princess, reminding her that she always supported her cause.

Princess Leila Sennite comes forth to a news conference to discuss the latest issues within Zwaza. She begins her speech:

"My dear Zwaza, too long have you felt the burden of civil conflict. With the communist uprising quelled, we can all look forward to brighter days in our great nation. Democratic elections will be held in order to bring peace to our culturally-enriched borders. We will be one! No more warlords to divide the land, we are a civilized nation! With the completion of the elections, we will emerge from third-world country into a Regional Power. We will not be burdened by the restrictions of other nations, we will not be divided within. We are no longer helpless! We are the NationState of Zwaza, and our cause is greatness!"

Millions take to the streets to cheer. Rockets are set off through the night to celebrate this day as the Interim Government has named March 14 as Zwazan Unification Day.
