OOC: Fools! There is no porn here! This is an invasion of Senegal and The Gambia, (not Earth anything), please inquire within if you already claim it. If you claim one of these nations but not the other, and can prove you already have it, then ignore the invasion of that nation.
IC:
With Mauritania taken, the Emperor set his sights on the nations of Senegal and Gambia, two small West African nations. None had as of yet claimed them, and he had to constantly expand his Empire to keep the eyes of the people off his suppression of democracy.
The Emperor was young, only twenty-three, and competent, having once been in the nation's tank forces. He could kill his enemies easily enough himself, a tall, lean, black haired, fighting machine. His blue eyes betrayed his cunning, and showed that he was a man not to be trifled with. He did have a personality cult, however, and the monuments he built had writing on every brick saying, "Constructed in the era of Emperor Victor Augustus Ramius."
He sent another three divisions into Mauritania a week ago, and ordered them to attack the Senegalese and Gambians from the north. At his command, the newly formed Imperial Army, Africa Command forces rolling. Because Fluffywuffy's division is larger than that of Western ones--it is 100,000 men, with the equivalent to a division called a cohort--the Empire now sent three hundred thousand men into the former Senegambia.
The Emperor was pleased, and he himself would lead from the front.

Emperor--no, Colonel in his current situation--Victor Ramius looked out of the hatch of a Hannibal Lector MBT, modified to allow advanced control functions, hands gripping the machinegun tightly. He was commanding the 101st Tank Regiment, the unit he commanded while in the army. It was a unit of 1,500 men and 75 tanks. He was away from Regimental HQ, leaving an aide in charge of the forward movement of the command.
The sun was low in the sky--they were attacking at night--and he could already hear the sounds of the tropical rainforests in Senegal. On his signal, the 101st advanced into the rainforest, aircraft rushing overhead, artillery pounding away. He caught sight of a Senegalese patrol with his night vision goggles, turned the MG, and let loose in a long burst of fire.
The first of the Senegalese troops had not noticed the Colonel. Big mistake. The long burst from the tank's machinegun cut down three of the soldiers, and the seven others opened fire futilely on the tank before a well-placed artillery strike cut the remaining soldiers down.
The Colonel spotted an old enemy tank, a PT-76, hardly an APC to modern standards, and had his gunner lock in the target. A computer targeting system measured air humidity, temperature, atmospheric conditions, air pressure, wind speed, and various other factors and computed a solution within one second. Within another the gunner hit a button and fired the shell, ripping through the enemy tank. All that remained was a burning hulk. The enemy tanker hadn't even attempted to fool them by cutting off his engines or hiding his amphibious tank in a nearby stream.
More jets rushed overhead, Imperial guardsmen who flew the deadly A-10 warthog. Their massive guns screamed through the night, and their deadly rockets and bombs illuminated it for the enemy. This time they carried napalm to burn out enemy troops hiding in the woods.
The Emperor smiled to himself. I will rule another land, and become a war hero in my people's eyes. Brilliant!
_____________
It was a scene repeated all of Senegal, and later, Gambia. The Imperial Army fought ruthlessly efficient, totally crushing the enemy. They had suffered a few losses--16, to be exact--because the tropical setting in Senegambia had provided the enemy cover. Other than that, the two countries were conquered in a day. A perfect textbook operation.
The next day, the Emperor declared the Mauritania, Senegal, and Gambia were to be joined together in the Imperial province of Imperial West Africa, for administration reasons. It was a bad choice--the three had little in common with one another--but he could not foresee the fallout from his next statements: "For administration reasons, I will combine the provinces of Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania into Imperial West Africa. This is due to the fact that they are all Islamic nations, and have a common Islamic people."
