Troop Movement in Anapest (open rp set up)
From: Chief of Intelligence Hallie Cherise
To: Prime Minister Aron Christopher
Re: Movement in Anapest
We recently deployed Predator UAVs to Anapest to observe their military actions, and the results were frightening. It seems the military has been bolstered even more since Sezaar returned. Early estimations say they may have more than 8 million soldiers, and they seem to be preparing for war. We know they have biological and nuclear weapons, and the capability of delivering them. The fact that the troops seem to be suiting up for war is unsettling. We doubt they would risk an assault on the ASA, they don't have a reason to and they wouldn't risk assaulting us, they know we're powerful. We do worry for Danversia, however. As you know, Anapest has been trying to "free" all of Danversia for years, and with their new troop recruitments and weapon capabilities, we have reason to believe they may try it. If Danversia is invaded, we must react swiftly or not at all. If Romana falls, all of Danversia is as good as lost. We will keep you updated and inform you of any developments.
ooc: this is basically a thread for gathering interest in an upcoming rp. in reality, our (me and Anapest) friend (Danversia) has decided that he doesn't want to play anymore and is giving up his country to whichever of us can claim the majority of it. this rp is open to everyone though, as we both could use allies, and I know at least I'd be willing to give some land up to someone that is particularily helpful. anyway, post interest on here

In a response to the potential attack against Anapest, due to its theorized military build-up, Reichschancellor Wilhelm Einheit, III has released the following statement:
Any attack against Anapest for reasons seen by North Germania as interfering with a sovereign nation's (Anapest) dealings, will be countered with a protective strike by North Germania.
It is not another nation's place to judge anothers actions.
To Anapest: If you are attacked, North Germania will respond in your favor.
- N.G.
thanks Pentova, good to see you by our side, the actual RP will start up in a thread called The Fall of an Empire
there was a farmer had a dog and bumpo was his name-o, b-u-m-p-o...
bump (where's Anapest? I told him bout this)
(ooc - sorry, haven't been on in awhile, it's about time this all started, I'll tell Chris to post the background info before he ditches this place completely
Germania - will you help us even if we're the agressor? we welcome whatever help you can give us
I would also give up some land to anyone who lends me a hand, in addition, I'll offer some bio/chem weapons deals to any allies in this)
Commander General Georgio Sezaar called up Sergio Ryan, his second-in-command.
"Is this line secure?"
"Absolutely, we've cross checked our systems with all Danversian spy equipment, they can't hear a word."
"Well?"
"They're getting ready, Commander General. Training should be completed shortly, but I don't know if we have the equipment for everyone."
"Don't worry about that, we have all factories that produce uniforms, rations, and guns churning out as much as they can and it's all going to us. Everyone should be equipped. How many men are we talking about here?"
"Total people in all 3 divisions, including all support, soldiers, pilots, etc. etc. is around 9.5, but we should have more soon."
"9 and a half thousand?! Don't joke with me you dickhead, I'll have you shot."
"No sir, not 9.5 thousand, 9.5 million."
"...Oh, well that makes more sense. Good. More than I expected."
"The Supreme Commander is a very persuasive person."
"I can see that. And Frank, does he have the truck?"
"Yes, we've loaded it up. He and Eli will head for Coldwater later this week."
"Remember, we have to start the invasion as soon as they blow. The panic will punch a whole right through their defenses. The hour of glory is upon us. If we fuck this up..."
"The Supreme Commander will have even your head. I know. Are you sure we should employ Heretigio though? We could just as easily send our men in. Using a terrorist organization to start a war may alienate some assistance from other countries."
"Heretigio is my brain child, they are the based trained people for the job, now stop worrying, they'll never know it wasn't our army that did it. We have to end this call, I feel like somebody's listening in. Goodbye."

DANVERSIAN HISTORICAL TIMELINE
This is mostly for reference.
c. 400 B.C. - Danver the Great of the Romana Tribe starts uniting the scattered tribes of the Northern portion of the Essian Peninsula. He unites them under the banner of Danversia.
c. 375 B.C. - Emperor Caliph I, Danver's son, appoints himself the first emperor. Tribal heads that join Danversia are given titles of nobility and compose a sort of Senate. Writes the Caliph Book, a surprisingly conclusive and fair set of rules for governing.
301 B.C. - Panic ensues as Prince Winthrop I, only heir of the elderly Emperor Caliph II, disappears mysteriously.
298 B.C. - Winthrop I re-appears in Romana. Claims to have traveled to a different world where he visited a place called Rome for 3 years. Nobility claim he doesn't have the mental capacity to follow in Caliph II's footsteps.
296 B.C. - Caliph II dies. Despite objection from Danversian nobility, Emperor Winthrop I is coronated.
2nd Century B.C. - Claiming to follow the example he saw in Rome, Emperor Winthrop I starts building the military. If a tribal head receives an offer to join Danversia and refuses, the head's people are conquered. Marks a period of massive expansion to the west and southwest over the Tagian Sea. Winthrop is given the name Emperor Winthrop the Conqueror.
Sultan Guara Colo of Anapest to the south orders the building of the Mortian Gate, a gate at the only passage to Anapest from Danversia via land, the Codish Valley in the Mortian Mountains. The gate is built to prevent any kind of Danversian invasion.
1st Century A.D. - Danversia halts expansion and recognizes the nations of Anapest, Fika, Muldornia, and Trolan on the Rojian Continent. The whole landmass is controlled by the 5 nations. The nations remain at peace.
346 A.D. - Emperor Richard IV is the first Emperor to die without a male heir. According to the Caliph Book, his daughter, Neva, is appointed the first Empress.
358 A.D. - Sultan Gorbo Pesta thinks that Danversia is week now that a woman is in charge. He leads his forces into the southern regions of Danversia and conquers roughly 1/4 of Danversia. Empress Neva responds swiftly and begins to drive Pesta's forces back. Empress Neva dies later that year. Her son, Caliph V is coronated.
360 A.D. - Emperor Caliph V drives Anapestic forces back to the Mortian Gate. Realizing the army was being spread too thin, he recalls forces from all but the Northern Islands and modern-day Axario.
361 A.D. - Danversian forces push into Anapest and capture Anapest City. All formerly Anapestic land south of the Essian Peninsula is left alone. The nation of Pekt arises where Anapest once ruled.
400-1800 A.D. - The Isolation Period. Danversia stays out of international politics for the most part and stands by as Muldornia, Fika, Trolan, and Pekt set up colonies.
1801-1843 A.D. - The Great War erupts. Danversia barely comes out on top and Muldornia, Fika, and Trolan are broken up. In order to keep the Empire from becoming to large and collapsing on itself, Emperor Edmond IV grants autonomy to the Northern Islands and Axario and implements a formal Parliament, but retains the Senate of nobility.
1973 A.D. - Alexander Pesta runs for Parliament under the Heretigio Anapesto party. Wins in a landslide victory over his opponent and begins to sow the seeds of revolution.
1987 A.D. - When Pesta is denied a motion to allow Anapest to be free, he sparks the Anapestic Revolution. General Georgio Sezaar of the Southern Danversian army joins him and together they gather supporters.
May 9, 1987 A.D. - The JXG Incident: Pesta and Sezaar orchistrate the storming of the JXG civilian automobile and military armor factory. When the Danversian army nears, the rebels inside are ordered to blow the building, killing 3,500 civilians.
June 17, 1987 A.D. - In response to the death of 8 senators and the JXG Incident, Danversian Spec Ops launches operation Double Guillotine with the purpose of capturing Pesta and Sezaar. Sezaar is captured and sent to Camp Donley Ultra-Maximum Security Prison, but Pesta escapes.
1988 A.D. - Rebels split into 2 factions, Heretigio Anapesto, led by Bruce Celaan in Sezaar's absence, and the Anapestic Liberation Army (ALA) led by Pesta.
August-October, 1988 A.D. - Anapest City falls to the ALA. Pesta orders the Mortian gate to be fortified. The Danversian army attempts to move forces through the Mortian Gate, but all fail. One attempt is made at an amphibious landing, which also fails.
November 9, 1988 A.D. - Anapest is granted freedom. Alexander Pesta declares himself dictator and Supreme Commander of Anapest.
1989 A.D. - The Trochaic Islands and Corporagia follow Anapest's lead and declare independence.
1990s A.D. - Decade plagued with sporadic attacks, mostly car bombs, by Heretigio Anapesto, now considered a terrorist organization. Their purpose is to overthrow the Danversian government once and for all.
April 2002 A.D. - Corporagian Conflict starts. Danversia tries to bring Corporagia back into the Empire. Peace accords are made and Corporagia is allowed to remain free.
July 2002 A.D. - Corporagia agrees to become a territory of Danversia.
January 2003 A.D. - Corporagia is sold to Axario.
July 28, 2003 A.D. - Emperor Marcus X is assassinated by Heretigio Anapesto.
August, 2003 A.D. - Marcus X's son, Noah III, is coronated. Noah III revamps Danversian government, changing the Empire title to Kingdom, the Emperor title to King, Imperial term to Royal, replacing the Senate of Nobility with a representitive Senate, and replacing Parliament with a Congress.
March 24-27, 2004 A.D - Carrigan Hostage Crisis: Heretigio Anapesto holds the President's daughter and her entire middle school hostage for the release of Georgio Sezaar. He is released and 16 of the 24 terrorists are captured and taken to Camp Donley. The rest, including Bruce Celaan, escape to Anapest.
The intelligence officer sitting at his station inside the surveillance plane turned bone white. He couldn't believe what he had just heard on the phone tap. They were right, Anapest couldn't detect their new tapping system. This had to go to the Prime Minister immediately...
