Before The Storm; Euroslavia Civil War Pt. 1 (Open; Modern)

Euroslavia

OOC: Reposted in the II forum.

The government of Euroslavia, for the past few years, evolved into a Communist state. After a bloody revolution, the current leader, Comrade Maloney, took power from the former Empress, leaving her to go into exile in Vastiva. To this date, no one knows exactly where she is, due to the exit of Euroslavia from NATO, and the worsening of relations between itself and a few nations that belong to NATO. However, in recent months, the Communist government has begun its collapse. Small protests have broken into large riots in the capital of Pyrynn and the former capital of the Imperialist government, in Arcadia, shouting, “Death to Communism!” and “Death to the Comrade!”.

The economy of Euroslavia has always been known as one of the stronger markets within the world, however, in recent events, the HTQ 200 has dropped over 1,000 points within the past 3 months, leading to a recession within the now struggling nation. The jobless rate has fallen to 9.68%, pushing even more people out to the streets to fend for themselves. It is feared that all hope will be lost, and Euroslavia will blunge into its first Depression in more than 200 years.

The structure of the government is quite unique in a sense that not too many nations out there have a Tri-Cameral Legislature. The Congress consists of the House of Orders, the the Representative Chamber, and the 3rd, less known Liberai House. Each house’s tasks have been divided equally, however, the real power lies within the leadership position of the Comrade. If there is anything that he dislikes, he can simply veto is with no possibility of a repeal, or a revote.

The current government of Euroslavia has maintained its structure in the past months, however, due to the recent protests and violent riots, a few of the members of the Euroslavian Congress have resigned, leaving the Comrade with no choice but to dissolve the Congress itself. It seems that a war between the loyalists of Communism, and the liberators of Democracy itself is inevitable, with the path that the nation is going towards. This will be the Second Civil War within the past 25 years that has broken out between Communists and other forces.

A call to the world was recently shown across the world on the international news network, by the Underground Democratic Movement, led by an anonymous, but courageous, or possibly insane man, asking the world to move in, and decapitate the leadership of the Communist Party, and place Democratic rule, a rule of the people, back into power, where it has ruled majority of the time since Euroslavia itself was declared an independent nation.


Nations of the World,
You now know the corruption that our ‘Comrade’ has put into effect within Euroslavia. He has dissolved Congress in this past week, because of resignations, and does not wish to listen to the protests of our people. Violence has broken out in most of the major cities, including the capital of Pyrynn, and a war between my people and the Communists is inevitable. I ask of you all to see our cause within Euroslavia. We have not blatantly attacked Communist strongpoints within the city, and have obediently sat back ever since the Comrade came to power, however, he has only made things much harder for us politically. Slowly, he knocked out every party that would dare content him, and thus, the remaining party was the Communist Party itself. Any leader openly voicing any attacks upon Communism was silenced, without the knowledge of the public. That is why I send this announcement, shrowded in darkness, and voice-altered, in hopes that the world will heed my call, and liberate the people of Euroslavia. Ultimately, our fate, the fate of over three billion people is up to the rest of you. I await your decisions.


With this announcement airing all over the news networks, not only in Euroslavia, but throughout the rest of the world, many news anchors have disappeared, as well as those suspected of being the leader. Extensive background checks have occurred, seeing those who have only slightly been involved with any opposition of the Communists. Thousands upon thousands of people have disappeared from their homes, their work, and any other place you can think of. It is expected that the government is carrying out a varied form of genocide, eliminating its enemy before it can come up with any sort of legitimate resistance to the current government…the current approximate count by the Underground Movement has estimated that up to 1 million people have disappeared in the past 3 years.

Diplomatic relations with the entire world was becoming more strained. With the current tensions within its own country, the worlds' leaders began to look at Euroslavia, with their greedy eyes, hoping that there was a possibility of taking some territory from it while they have the chance. It was also a time for any strong nation out there to thrust its' influence upon the nation under fire, and mold it into anything they desired. At this point, it was difficult to see who Euroslavia's Communist regime could trust...

The Underground Democratic Movement was beginning to make progress in convincing citizens who originally supported the Communist regime. Leaflets were continuously distributed across the nation, despite the Communist government working its hardest to make these leaflets, and the people who distributed them disappear. It looked like the Democratic movement was beginning to be noticed on the world-wide stage. However, there were other movements that were becoming involved. A Fundamentalist group known as the United Christian Movement was making progress in creating a religious government of strictly Christians, to enforce morals and religion upon the rest of the nation. Due to the liberal views in Euroslavia, however, this group only received a limited amount of support, but still, a small amount of influence was there.

There was a 3rd group involved in the political movements within Euroslavia. This group supported the leadership of one man, to take care of everything that the nation could possibly need; a dictatorship of sorts. This group was the last to come forth, but support was growing through the wealthy and the poor citizens. Unlike the other groups, this Dictatorship movement didn't encompass one specific belief. There was also hope that, if this group were to take power, the people who supported it would be rewarded for their help. It wasn't the best reason to support a regime, but there really wasn't anything that anyone could do about it...

Underground Movement Secret Meeting
Location: Unknown


This meeting has been called forth due to the widespread success of the Underground Democratic Movement, and the assessment of the other groups rising up and challenging us. Here, it will be determined on exactly how we should 'react' to these other groups, and what we should do to deter them, and their desperate attempt to claim control to the country. The meeting's goals have, thus, been set, and shall begin now.

A tall man with an overcoat, and a large hat, covering most of his face, stood up and began to talk..

"There needs to be a way to take these other parties out of the 'running' for leadership positions in Euroslavia. Are there any suggestions on to exactly what to do?"

Another man stood up. He was short, had dark eyes and gave a most serious glance at the rest of the leaders attending the meeting.

"I suggest that we use all means necessary to deter the other groups. And by saying "all means necessary", I mean it. Assassinations, poisoning, forcing the citizens of the nation to support us, and if they don't, then well...let's not think about that. They will support us whether they like it or not. We need insurance that the Democratic movement will take power. That is why I brought...such an insurance to the meeting today. I would like everyone to meet the current Minister of Intelligence of the Communist regime, Allan Tonnacour. Yes, he has defected, however, the current regime has no clue about it because it is in disarray, and has no control over exactly what each member of the government does. This is exactly why the regime needs to fall. We need to stand up, and make it known that were are a 'Democratic Regime' in support of freedom, liberty, and civil rights, however, in reality, we won't be as 'free' as everyone thinks we are."

The short man stood up and began to laugh... while the rest of the leaders at the meeting began to follow. Soon, the entire room was engulfed in laughter, as if some sort of laughing gas was released through the vents. Horrible things were about to happen in Euroslavia...things that the entire world couldn't fathom. The worst was yet to come...

Breaking News from the Capital of Euroslavia

"After months of growing distress between underground movements and the Communist regime, the event today, that has occured, has 'broken' the fragile peace between the government and its own people. Today, 4 Senators within the Liberai House representing the Communist party, were kidnapped by the Underground Democratic Movement, however, despite overwhelming evidence against them, they have thrown the blame upon the up-and-coming CSD (Citizens Supporting Dictatorship). They have accused the fledgling party of supporting terror as well, and the torture of many citizens in order to gain support, or face death.

The CSD responded by saying that the Underground Democratic Movement within Euroslavia is 'more corrupt than the current government itself' backlashing at their attempts to muddle the people of Euroslavia and telling the world that the UDM, in reality, isn't a Democratic Movement, but rather a brutal group, bent on taking control of Euroslavia, and getting rid of all those who oppose them, rather than equally representing the whole of the nation.

So far, the Fundamentalist group, the United Christian Movement is using the squabble between the UDM and the CSD as a weapon for their own promotion as the most supported rebel group, not looking for confrontation, but looking for peace within Euroslavia. Not much is known about the group, and whether it has gotten involved in the dirty politics that are taking place."

Secret Communique from the Communist Regime to World Leaders
As you know, our struggle to maintain order within Euroslavia has become very costly, due to the efforts of the 'UDM' and the 'CSD', as well as a few other minor groups out there. We are looking to hold an emergency meeting with the nations of the world that have an interest in our country, to discuss ways of making the nation stable once again. The meeting will strictly be held to discuss diplomatic means at ending the non-violent rebellion occuring. We will also discuss the validation of the disappearance of the suggested 3 million people within our country.

Secret Communique from the UDM to World Leaders
The current regime of Euroslavia is falling apart, and there is nothing that anyone can do to save it. The support of the people has disappeared, and they're looking for another regime to take power, and to stabilize the nation. The UDM is the regime to do such a thing. Currently, we are working our best to distribute leaflets to all of Euroslavia, as well as making stops in specific towns in disarray, to support our cause. Democracy will succeed in Euroslavia once again, and we will do everything we can to get back in power. We are currently looking for those out there who support democracy throughout not only Euroslavia, but throughtout the rest of the world.

Secret Communique from the CSD to World Leaders
The idea of an entire government full of hundreds, even thousands of people, representing the billions of people who live in Euroslavia is not only un-realistic, it has proven inefficient within Euroslavia before. Under the leadership of the former Empress, before the Communist Revolution, the country of Euroslavia was in its Golden Age. Having one person in the leadership position, someone that we can trust, is our best bet. The UDM is nothing but a brutal oligarchy looking to seize power, and to eliminate all who oppose them. The similarities between them and the Communist regime are shocking and appalling. We will be holding a secret summit for World Leaders who support our cause.


OOC: This RP is open for everyone, as long as you are an active RP'er. This first part of the civil war in Euroslavia will strictly be diplomatic. Each group will be looking for supporters from the rest of the world. There will be three parts to the civil war. The first is the diplomatic fallout of the Communist regime, the second will be the actual war, and the 3rd part will be the re-establishment of a new regime, and the re-opening of diplomatic relations with the world. T-gram me if you want to know how I want this to end.

Fundamentalist: United Christian Movement

The United Christian Movement was far behind, considering that majority of the nation was liberal. Therefore, the Movement had much to do, to be considered a serious possibility at taking control of the government. It had many plans to launch, in order to take the chance at leading the nation. It's means of influencing the public was different than the rest of the Movements. Priests and Fathers all across the entire nation were threatened, and told to begin the push to Conservatism, or else, the entire nation would be damned to hell. It was a cheap scare tactic, but it was probably the most effective way at pushing liberals towards becoming conservative...although, the one side that they didn't think about was the fact that a lot of the citizens of Euroslavia would rather leave Christianity, than to change their beliefs.

St. Peter Arcadia, in Euroslavia, was one of the most influential churches in Euroslavia. It has survived multiple bombings, terrorist attacks, and riots throughout its existance, and even survived under the regime of the Ottoman Empire for 40 years.

Three men walked into the church while the priest was currently within his office, writing his sermon for the next day. They walked into the room, looked at each other and walked towards him.

"Listen, Father. You're going to listen to us, or else, well... we won't get into that."

"God Bless you three men. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Immediately, one of the men stepped forward and punched the Father in the stomach, picked him up, and threw him against the wall.

"You're going to begin preaching what we want us to preach. Abortion should be outlawed, homosexuals should not be able to get married, and most of all, the United Christian Movement is what you need to support for the government. If we find out that you betray us, you'll pay with your life."

The three men left, after giving the Father papers on the next sermon he was going to preach. The Father bent down, wept, and prayed that the nation would not give the United Christian Movement the opportunity at taking power. Fake Christians were the worst of all...

Reports of riots all across the nation came on the national news networks. In Pyrynn, the capital of Euroslavia, protests turned violent in front of the Palace of the Comrade, formerly of the Empress, leaving 14 citizens dead, and 54 citizens injured, as well as 3 policemen dead. The main core of the group of protestors supported the "Citizens for Dictatorship", made it known that the Communist government of Euroslavia was on the verge of falling. All across the nation, its' enforcement of laws, customs, and policies had weakened to a point where it couldn't even collect taxes from citizens. Even the police, hired by the Communist regime, held a protest to the government cutting its wages by 10%.

In Arcadia, the former capital, clashes between Communist forces and rebel forces (at this point, the faction was unknown) occurred, leaving over 100 citizens and rebels dead.

The citizens of Euroslavia, all across the nation, began a slow uprising that completely overwhelmed the unprepared military, despite the recent conflict with Witzgall. Their government was no longer succeeding in representing them, therefore, they had every right to change it themselves. Such is the basic belief of Euroslavians.

In The Name Of The White Tower, I Speak for the Hall Of Sitters And for the Amrylin Seat:

The White Tower Of New Endenia is horrified at the lack of control the current Euroslavia government has over its people, hundreds of people are dying because the Euroslavian Government lacks the ability to properly contain the riots, clearly the present government is unable to control or even predict such an event would happen, a proper government would not have its people rioting in all its major cities, to the extent that even their own police force joins the riot.

Therefore by the Authority given by the Amrylin Seat Sarah Sedai, The Flame Of Haven, Blessed By The Light, The Guardian Of The Seal, I am to issue an official condemnation of the Euroslavian government for being unable to control the present situation and also for not being able to predict such an event will happen and thus make sufficiant counter-measures to contain it.

Obviously a change of government is needed in such a crisis, seeing as the present government is useless, therefore the White Tower is officially backing the CSD's(Citizens Supporting Dictatorship) bid for the government, we feel that a single ruler is the most efficient form of government, taking example from the White Tower itself. We are willing to provide full financial and military aid to the CSD party for their attempt at control the nation.

After hearing of news of the nation of New Endenia condemning the governments' lack of control within the nation, the Comrade rose up in fury. Never before has he been humiliated on the international stage, in such a way.

Official Response from the Comrade of Euroslavia
"I find it to be a horrible judgement call, by your so called leader to condemn the actions of the government, rather than the citizens of the nation. They are the ones that started the riots, rather than keeping a peaceful protest together. My government is just as legitimate as the rest. We will not sit idly by when your nation condemns the actions of our government, and we do not take empty threats to heart. We did our part in supressing the uprisings, despite casualties. That is something that no one can stop. A few deaths can be all it takes to make the nation safe again.


Let it be known that the Communist government is here to stay. All of these 'factions' out there will be destroyed through any means possible, including genocide. We will not allow others to stand against us, and we suggest that you do the same. Stay out of our internal affairs."

OOC: This was a speech on public television, so everyone can respond to it.

The Amrylin Seat sat on her throne watching the screen along with the Hall Of Sitters, "Interesting....I believe I shall respond to this myself."


Official Transmission From The White Tower:

I speak for the White Tower and for the Hall of Sitters:

I am the Amrylin Seat, the supreme authority of all Aes Sedai here in New Endenia, Your government is inept, unable to put down such riots, your own police force is revolting against you. Having your own law enforcement agents turn against you speaks volumes of the confidence that the people have your leadership.

You will not sit idly by while my nation declares its condemnation of your government, an excellent move, what can you do? Declare war against Haven? Armies have come before to seige the White Tower and they splashed on the Shining Walls like water on rock, Know that We Are Aes Sedai, we cannot be stopped this easily. We have yet to show our true powers. Furthermore we doubt your army will obey you, seeing as the police force is rebelling, we predict the army will follow suit.

Therefore I, The Amrylin Seat Of The White Tower issue this formal declaration of Intent against the Euroslavian Government, we will support the CSD even if it means direct military intervention from the White Tower, you tell us to stay out of your internal affairs, while we try to practice a policy of none interference in other nation's affairs, the death toll here demands that we intervene, for the sake of peace and order.

If your government is willing to step down volunterily and assist in the installation of a new Monarchy, further bloodshed can be avoided, I leave you with this, think not for yourself, think of your citizens.

GIIS Headquarters, Generia City

“Well, Mr. Director, our resources within Euroslavia have always been substantial after the closing of the borders as a result of the conflict between the communist state and the Hellenic Empire.”

“And?”

“We saw this coming from a mile away.”

A man clad in a black suit and adorned with sharp features adjusted the thin spectacles that covered a pair of deep brown eyes, and addressed a figure with a face barely discernable from the gloom that cloaked that half of the room.

“GIIS manpower and our established networks are sufficient enough for us to safely assume that the Sarzonian area of operations and the developing situation in Roach-Busters should in no way affect our interests over the border to the west. Despite the loss of a large portion of our communications network, the GIIS operatives have proved quite resourceful in their methods, and have continued their routine reports unhampered.”

“Still, Mr. Cac, any man with half a brain and a television set could read the situation over the border.”

“Not exactly, Mr. Director. Preliminary surveillance showed that the Communist regime was destined for collapse months ago. It was only a matter of time before the apparatus fell out from under them.”

“I see.”

“As you are aware, sir, there is a group among the various factions that seem to share the views of the former Empress of Euroslavia.”

“I was under the assumption the Empire and the deposed Empress Destra were not on the friendliest of terms..”

“This is true, and the Communist regime has largely proved harmless, seeming to prefer either keeping to itself or fighting the Greeks. The regime also saw Euroslavia experiencing significant economic decline, and isolation from NATO, both of which only benefited Imperial interests. However, we realize that under current conditions, the Communist regime cannot remain as it was, and an uprising is imminent. The Empire does not have the need to maintain the status quo in Euroslavia, and instead believe that a healthy sweep of the system may be a good and necessary thing. But-“

“Yes?”

“We are certain that a democratic uprising and the restoration of a Euroslavian representative government would prove a very unstable and dangerous thing. Still, if tightly controlled by the GIIS, we may be able to benefit from this transition, assuming a favorable candidate is up for presidential nomination.”

“Describe a favorable candidate.”

“A popular figure, possibly a military man. In short, a war hero.”

“And how would this be favorable?”

“We are under the opinion that such a figure could be created in the civil war that is bound to ensue. Rebel leaders have consistently proved to be the cheapest public figures to buy, and for the price of arms and some other underground support, perhaps including monetary transfers between offshore accounts, we know that we could indebt such a man to the Empire and place a nice pawn in the Euroslavian seat of power. A popular figure is more likely to achieve dictatorial status, and thus maintain our influence for a decent period of time. The expenses would be miniscule, and the benefits would be enormous. Of course, certain more aggressive tactics may have to be employed to ensure that this man’s path to power is a smooth one.”

“Of course. Discreetly, I assume?”

“GIIS never operates any other way.”

“And I also assume the deployment of Mr. Black would be in order.”

“Possibly in time. He is still currently on assignment in Sarzonia. When that situation draws to a close, he shall be reassigned to this campaign, albeit with limited direct involvement.”

“Very well, Mr. Cac. You may proceed. As always, there is to be no trace of GIIS involvement.”

“Of course, Mr. Director. Our hands shall remain clean.”

The spectacled man stood, picked up his briefcase, and walked out of the room.

The Hatarian Government soon declared that The Imperial Republic of Hataria would support The Underground Democratic Movement any way they could, even Invade Euroslavia to over throw The Communists.

Emperor Barbarossa liked the plan, if The Communist Governmet in Euroslavia was over thrown, then Hataria would have a ally in Europe and one that would help in war if one should start after this was over.

already, The Hatarians started to Cut ties with The Communist government in Euroslavia and prepeare to help the UDM.

OOC:

I'd like to join in if you don't mind.

=========================================
IC:

President Rand Veristek flipped through several dozen different electronic reports staring back at his face, bathing it in a glow of cyan, black, and navy blue. A report describing the events in Euroslavia caught Rand's eye as he flipped through Reports #22, #23, #24, and #25.

Euroslavia? That name... It's familiar, somehow. Aha! Euroslavia was a former member of NATO.

Rand typed in several commands, and the flat-screen smoothly changed its display of numbers, symbols, words, and graphics as Report #25 enlarged. The text broadcast the contents of the report to the ever-searching eyes of the most powerful man in the Sharina Technocracy.

Report #25

Euroslavia in Chaos in Earth #311.

Rand arched his eyebrows as he clicked another series of keyboard keys, as the report appeared to fold open, revealing pages of information encoded in the Sharina language. Numbers, statistics, names, and other information began scrolling across the screen as Rand manipulated the computer quietly and efficiently.

Hmm. Which faction to support? The UDM or CSD? Democracy provides the people the tools to better themselves, yet it can become quickly corrupted and easy to manipulate. On the other hand, a nation under the control of one man or woman would have stronger direction, yet if the supreme leader does not have the best interests of his or her people at heart, then the regime would cause more harm than benefit.

Rand shook his head sadly, before continuing mediating on the issue.

Old concepts of Democracy, Communism, Dictatorship, Facism, and others are obsolete in Sharina. These old governments are privy to destruction through internal means and corruption as human beings always seek more power in their own ways. A Technocracy does away with these things by introducing flawless and pure logic to government. Stability is achieved as all sorts of problems in a Technocracy is addressed by scientists, engineers, and technicians. Problems are solved in the most efficient means possible.

Corruption and selfishness are a thing of the past. There are no more political infighting, no more power struggles, no more radicalism. Everything is peacefully resolved through the scientific process, yet the Supreme Overseer is capable of overriding the Logic Debates in times of emergency.

I believe that the path to a Technocracy regime in Euroslavia would greatly enhance their ways of life with high boosts in life standards, productivity, and national pride. Towards this end, the UDM appears to be a viable solution, as a dictator can create a Technocracy quickly, while in a Democracy it would take a slow process. A dictator born Technocracy probably would suffer instability issues short-term, as the people would be forced to accept it quickly. A democratic born Technocracy would enjoy more stability in the long term as people would be more willing to accept a majority decision.

Even though a Technocracy is very difficult to achieve given the radical changes from conventional government. Even if a Technocracy base cannot be established in Euroslavia, a democracy based government would bring more stability than a dictatorship one. Then a gradual shift from a democracy to a dictatorship government would grant even more stability, as the people grow to accept their would-be leader.

Thus, it must be done.

Rand nodded his head, as he opened his eyes.

He began composing a message to the UDM, and within an hour, it was sent through back channels and unofficial means.

=========================================
Greetings to the leadership of the UDM:

The Sharina Technocracy would be proud to provide support and aid towards your venture to establish a working and stable government for the people in Euroslavia. I am prepared to authorize a flow of money, supplies, and if need be, weapons.

We must stand united aganist any foreign agressors who may seize this moment to crush Euroslavia into the ground. We must work together to ensure that this does not happen. The sooner we put an end to the civil war, the better.

I will be awaiting a response. Send one through the same channels that I have done so.

Live well and prosper,
~President Rand Veristek

Response To the Head of Sharina

"The UDM would greatly appreciate aid from your nation. In this day and age, it's becoming harder to find justice and brotherhood in this horrible world. We certainly hope that out of all the nations in the world, you understand this, and our predicament. In order to advance our diplomatic ties, I think it is in order to establish some sort of secret convention on exactly what needs to be done within Euroslavia to get rid of the opposition and to put the UDM as the legitimate government. As you can see, the Communist government is no longer seen fit by many nations out there to maintain political, military, and economic power. It is time to replace them with a... more efficient group of dedicated citizens.

Our opposition includes the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship and that Fanatical Christian group. The last thing we need in this nation is an egotistical, maniac who has supreme control over the nation, or a Right Wing government, where 80% of the nation is, in reality, quite Liberal. These other factions don't represent the nation as a whole, and the UDM would be best suited for such a situation. The installation of us as the government would succeed at making Euroslavia a stable nation, which it hasn't been for quite a while. The full potential of the nation is within the people, and with that, we can finally unlock the true will of our own citizens. This is what you have dedicated yourselves to, and we commend you for that, Sharina. We must hold some sort of communique to fill you in on the details of the action happening in Euroslavia, and exactly what should be planned to put us in power."

Official Response to New Endenia
Your threats are almost laughable, as you have yet to see the true might of Euroslavia. We have not lost a single war against an opponent, and have never lost any territory to a foreign power. Our government has many means of 'controlling' our nation, even at the expense of others. Sometimes, that's the risk you must take in maintaining order. We will put down these pathetic rebellions, and assert control over the nation, with much more force, that no one will dare rebel.

Our government will not step down. Our people do not understand that they would have no idea how to run such a complex nation. We are the only ones fit to do so, and will continue to exercise this right for all of time.

So you plan on supporting the CSD. Interesting choice, seeing as one man cannot possibly maintain order within the entire nation. There are so many things to keep in order, as well as other nations to deal with constantly. I shall say this to you, the CSD will become our first target of elimination, as well as the UDM, which has been targeted for the past 3 years. Communism is here to stay in Euroslavia, and you can't do a thing about it."

I Speak for the White Tower and The Hall Of Sitters:

The Tower has seen the so-called 'true' might of the Euroslavian Army, don't think the eyes and ears of the White Tower are blind its surroundings. No army has ever breached the Shining Walls and Haven's formidable defences and you would be no different than the others.

Despite your military might, are you sure the Army follows your orders? Lest they too revolt against you, an government's strength is founded on his/her army and you are no different, without your formidable army to support your government what can you do?

Indeed I plan to support CSD, one man can indeed run an entire nation, I, the Amrylin Seat has done just that, I am the supreme authority of my land and all obey me. If you move against the CSD, I will begin military strikes on your forces that threaten the CSD, do not force my hand. Your time is up, a new age must begin for Euroslavia and The White Tower will help usher in that new Age.

Imperium, Commonwealth Republic of New Britain

Emperor Barin sat behind his desk, reading the daily international intelligence briefing. Nothing seemed to interesting except for this bit of information on Euroslavia. Barin pulled out the small paper and pushed away the rest of the reports, stirring some sugar and milk into his tea before settling in so to digest the full report.

It seemed that it was only a question of when the government of Euroslavia would collapse entirely. Revolts were not, of course, the death-knell for any nation because with an efficient police or security force as well as the recognition of the need to compromise any violent force could be separated from the peaceful force thereby breaking the unified front. However, if the reports on the shaky police services were to be believed, combined with this Comrade’s warning to kill off those who oppose him… he seemed to be doing nothing more than unifying those arrayed against him.

Barin placed the paper back on the desk and leaned back into his leather chair. This situation unsettled him. Normally, the Commonwealth took the position of supporting the legitimate government, which in this case was the Communist Party. However, at this point in time, collapse seemed inevitable – and to increase leverage with the next government the Commonwealth needed to side with the eventual winners. He wanted to support the so-called democratic movement; people were far too often too ignorant to realize the elimination of their civil and political rights – they wouldn’t notice the erosion of their democracy in a few generations.

However, for the time being it would better suit the Commonwealth to remain silent and observe the continuing collapse of Euroslavian society.

Secret Communique to New Endenia

The CSD rejoices, upon hearing your request to aid us. Finally, someone out there has seen our plight, and we thank you. Currently, the Communist government of Euroslavia will fall, despite its claims that it has control. It is estimated that 67% of Euroslavia is either abandoned by the government, or taken over by rebel factions. We have approximately 12% in our control, politically, not militarily. There hasn't been an official clash between Communists and CSD yet, however, there are rumors that the Communist government is planning a strike upon us. In order to further the possibility of military and political aid from your nation, we must formalize such agreements in a well-hidden conference. I suspect that an area within Euroslavia would be a bad idea, so if it is possible, I would like to meet you within your nation, and advance from there.

Press Conference Transcript - Partial
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Question #6
Regarding the situation in Euroslavia; Mr. Valovich, what is the official opinion of the Commonwealth government, and which side does the government support?

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ivan Valovich

The Commonwealth is always concerned when fellow nations undergo the trials of civil unrest. As you are well-aware, this nation too underwent its own violent unrests and revolutions; and yet in the end the original government prevailed by realizing that its policies and actions were not infallible. Through compromise in Parliament and other levels of government control, the government was able to allay the grievances of those arrayed against it. Consequently, the Commonwealth recognizes the sovereign right of the Euroslavian government to rule as it sees fit – until its rule begins to violate the right of all individuals to life.

Given that, the Emperor and Prime Minister Tetley remain leery of giving our full support to the Comrade in lieu of his comments on eliminating those who protest the Communist government. We continue to support the ideals of democracy throughout the world; and hope that all sides can come to some peaceful agreement to perhaps share power in a new government that will respect the basic human rights of all Euroslavians.

Question #7
Does that mean that you are planning on sending military forces to Euroslavia?

Minister of Foreign Affairs

You misunderstood my response, Thomas. What I meant was that the Commonwealth will continue to keep an eye on the situation in Euroslavia – supporting the Communist government only so far as it is willing not to kill or torture those who wish to see a change of government.

However, being that this is not likely given the fiery statements we’ve all seen from the Comrade, Prime Minister Tetley has ordered the Yorke carrier group to make preparations to sail to Euroslavia where she will help to ensure the safety and stability of the reason in the name of both Commonwealth interests and international stability.

Question #8
Is the Yorke group fully operational after the heavy damage suffered recently in Lindim?

Admiral Karl Zvgalt

I assure you that although the Yorke’s battle group suffered limited damage and casualties, the carrier itself is fully operational and combat ready. In addition, its battlegroup will be augmented with additional fleet escorts for the long voyage it shall take to reach Euroslavia. Preliminary reports indicate that the fleet shall be ready to deploy by the end of the week having recently finished rearming and basic repairs.

Deployment will also include the 3rd Royal Marine Expeditionary Unit, which will be on call in case of immediate need for deployment. This is in addition to submerged units already operating in the general vicinity of Euroslavia – though well outside her territorial waters.

We are forever grateful of your promise to aid our cause. The situation in Euroslavia is getting worse by the minute, and if we wait to long to do something...then none of us will be alive. It seems that the Communist government of Euroslavia has turned genocidal and has begun capturing all 'dissidents' and executing them in a horrible fashion. Gas chambers, electrocution (purposely not killing someone in the first shock), and other methods of torture. We cannot show proof of this mess, as of yet, however, we are currently working the best we can to expose the wrong doings of the Communist government.

For now though, it is imperative that we discuss the details of such an agreement. I am prepared to take the trip myself, over to New Endenia, to do so.

Secret Communique to New Endenia

The questionable leadership of the Communist government is currently the topic of choice. As you have heard, riots have broken out all across the nation, in protest of recent actions taken. Wages have been cut, thousands, if not millions of people have been laid off from their job, and millions of people have disappeared, as the government has cited them, "A Threat to the Government." There is much that needs to be done first. The entire world must be notified of these horrifying events, and it needs to take action. The worst thing that could happen is if the world stood idly by, and ignored it.

I understand your concern in Euroslavic affairs, as currently, Euroslavia is one of the bigger nations that exists in the world, and has a pretty reasonable amount of influence, obviously, not comparable to others, but still, quite noticeable. If we do not take to heart what is happening in the country, things could devolute to an extent at which nothing can be repaired. Typically, when things like this happen, a leader gains the support of the people, becomes the leader, and completely changes his course of action, leading that nation into yet another doomed era, thus coined a 'dictatorship', however, our party is supported by the citizens themself. We can promise you that nothing like that will ever occur within Euroslavia, and even if it did, I trust that the world would take notice, and act upon it. A bad leader will eventually fall, no matter what. Even if it takes a few decades, others will pray and receive their deepest request.

I an honored, first of all, that you would invite me to your nation on such a short notice. Your respect and your courage will not be forgotten, in taking such a stance against the Communist government of Euroslavia. We ask that you spearhead the diplomatic force of the world to take the Communists out of Euroslavia once and for all, and place a government that has successfully led Euroslavia in the past. I know this is a lot to take in, however, we trust that you and your government know what to do.

"Emperor, I have just received urgent news about Euroslavia."

Lazaris handed over the folder containing information on the current situation in Euroslavia to Nikolaos. As Nikolaos read a worried look appeared on his face.

"Damn it! I knew this communist government would last long! This can bring back the instability to the Balkans."

"I think the Hellenic Army needs to step in. This is a threat to Greece's national security."

"Yes indeed but it can be solved with diplomacy. Communism in Euroslavia has always kept the nation weak and friendly toward Greece. They even helped us in Turkey! But if this democratic movement wins and a democratic government is established Greek-Euroslavic relations will change."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I will send secret communications to the CSD and the Communist Regime informing them of my support."

"But sooner or later we will have to choose from one of them."

"If the CSD will keep the nation allied to us then we will support them. Keep the army in Turkey on high alert. Turks in the Euroslavic part of Asia Minor might find this as the perfect opportunity to rebel."

Sharina
29-01-2005, 04:26
Rand was relaxing with his feet propped up on his maghony desk, which in itself was a rare occurence nowadays, considering the intense flurry of diplomacy, military matters, and economics that the Sharina Technocracy has been involved in. The most time-intensive activity has been occurring in Earth #2, or Sharina Alpha, where Sharina was waging a series of campaigns to unify North America aganist a growing threat of an world war. Scores of comminques from foreign nations, tactical planning, economic direction, and domestic affairs kept President Rand Veristek quite busy.

Rand shook his head as he thought about the situation in Earth #2. He forcibly shoved those thoughts aside as he took a deep breath. Just as Rand exhaled, his console on the desk beeped, and Rand groaned.

What now? I specifically told my secretary to put a hold on all non-emergency messages for the afternoon.

Rand lazily reached over to his console, as he was not in the mood to hurry or rush things. In several deft keystrokes, the beeping sound disappeared, much to Rand's relief. However, his relief was short lived as he read the message that popped up on his computer.

Not another damn diplomacy message!

His expression changed somewhat from one of exasperation to one of subtle delight and eagerness as he began reading the message.

Response To the Head of Sharina

"The UDM would greatly appreciate aid from your nation. In this day and age, it's becoming harder to find justice and brotherhood in this horrible world. We certainly hope that out of all the nations in the world, you understand this, and our predicament. In order to advance our diplomatic ties, I think it is in order to establish some sort of secret convention on exactly what needs to be done within Euroslavia to get rid of the opposition and to put the UDM as the legitimate government. As you can see, the Communist government is no longer seen fit by many nations out there to maintain political, military, and economic power. It is time to replace them with a... more efficient group of dedicated citizens.

Our opposition includes the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship and that Fanatical Christian group. The last thing we need in this nation is an egotistical, maniac who has supreme control over the nation, or a Right Wing government, where 80% of the nation is, in reality, quite Liberal. These other factions don't represent the nation as a whole, and the UDM would be best suited for such a situation. The installation of us as the government would succeed at making Euroslavia a stable nation, which it hasn't been for quite a while. The full potential of the nation is within the people, and with that, we can finally unlock the true will of our own citizens. This is what you have dedicated yourselves to, and we commend you for that, Sharina. We must hold some sort of communique to fill you in on the details of the action happening in Euroslavia, and exactly what should be planned to put us in power."


Rand's face began showing signs of a geniune smile, as he finished reading the secret message from the UDM party in Euroslavia. He closed his eyes and began mediating upon the next phase of plans for the UDM.

They have responded. That is good.

Now how shall I provide aid to the group? They talk about a meeting or further communications between us. That would be a perfect opporunity for me to gain more insight into their minds and beliefs.

They appear to be a quite intelligent and passionate group, yet appearances can be decieving. I must meet these people to make sure that I have made the correct choice.

Rand opened his eyes, and he finally began typing in a response in quick, yet determined keystrokes.

=========================================
Ultra-secret communication to the UDM Leadership:

Greetings, friends. I believe it is in both of our interests to arrange a meeting, where we can discuss future plans regarding our activities to help you become the rightful leaders of Euroslavia. I propose that we meet here in Sharina, as the "official" Euroslavian government cannot do anything without risking serious consquences. This, with the addition of excellent Sharina security, would allow myself to meet with you personally. After all, personal meetings do develop trust and bonds that simple text or handwriting cannot.

I recommend that you attempt to arrive in the Sharina embassy in Vastiva. Upon your arrival there, I will personally authorize your transfer to the Sharina homeland. From there, you will be treated as diplomats and dignitaries, with all the benefits that they would enjoy. This is to throw off the trail of any potential Communist Party spies, as it would be prudent to keep our arrangements a secret for the time being.

Once we have secured our plans, then we can proceed with more "overt" methods. After all, a surprise upon the Communist Party might very well secure us our much needed victory. If they are unaware of Sharina support, they cannot develop counter-measures that may cost us brave people that may mean the difference in the inevitable conflict.

I shall eagerly await your response. May the people be victorious over all adversity.

Live well and prosper.

"Greetings Representative of the CSD. Welcome to the White Tower." The Keeper of the Chronicles shooked the man's hand, "Please enter the Hall Of Sitters." They both walked into a massive Hall completely cloaked in darkness and onto a platform where there was light. "Who comes before the Hall of Sitters?" A voice from the Darkness came out. "One who seeks the Hall's Counsol." The Keeper announced. "Then let the one come before us." The Representative walked up into the platform. "You seek counsol concerning the situation in Euroslavia." The one beam of light shined and revealed a Sitter. "The White Tower knows about your plight, we are ready to support your cause in both military and diplomatic ways." Another beam lite to reveal a second Sitter. "Indeed, 3 billion dollars has been approved to purchase arms for your cause."

"We doubt we can persude our allies to support our stance seeing as they are all busy with their own state of affairs, however we are ready to intervene in force." A third sitter lite up. "However moderation is in order, our intelligence tells us that other nations are getting involved in this struggle, perhapes to put their own parties onto the throne of Euroslavia. The last thing we need is to have war on our hands." There were murmurs of agreement from around the Hall. "However we cannot do anything less now, the world stage knows that the White Tower is supporting the CSD, indeed moderation is out, since we have to support the CSD in open now." Again the Hall was filled with murmurs. "The Amrylin Seat is issuing a statement concerning your information about citizens being killed, this should rally a few nations to your cause."

Re: CAH
From: Office of the Polias- New Tiber

The Holy Republic of New Tiber renounces the Communist Party which governs Euroslavia and the crimes against humanity which it has commited against its people. The Polias of New Tiber demands a immediate stop to such crimes against humanity, including mass genocide, torture of political prisoners, and opression of free speech. New Tiber also will issue political assylum to any refugee who makes it to the borders of a independent state free from the tyrany of Euroslavia.

Should the situation continueto deteroriate into such needless bloodshed, the nations Polias will dispatch New Tiber's Elite Military Guard to the state. Lead by the nations Blood Stripe Company of marines should New Tiber forces enter the state they will declare it under martial law. Failure to communicate with the office of the Polias over the understanding of this condition will result in armed hostilities. It is the uttermost hope of the Polias that such drastic measures need not be taken, however New Tiber has stood long enough in the shadows praying that the situation stabilize itself to no avail.

Response To the Head of Sharina

We respect the fact that you are willing to meet with us on such short notice. The rapid deterioration of the Communist government was not predicted in such a way that it would literally have fallen so quickly, therefore, it is time that another faction steps up to declare its support for the nation of Euroslavia, through democratic means, through the support of the people, that is. It is with great honor that a nation such as yours has looked into the situation so intelligently, and has proclaimed their 'backing' of our faction.

We gladly welcome your offer for us to transport ourselves to Sharina, via Vastiva. Myself and 3 of my good colleagues will be doing the traveling. We certainly hope that this meeting is the start of fruitful relations between your nation and our cause.

------------------------------------

After the transmission of this message, all four of the men pack their bags quickly, and drove to the nearest airport to schedule a flight to Vastiva as soon as possible. This meeting could mean success of failure for the faction, so they need to impress the leader of Sharina...

After two more hours, and a slight delay, all four of the men walked past security, and thankfully, no trouble took place. They made sure to 'clean their previous steps' if such a case were to occur. They took their seats on the plane, and were well on their way to Vastiva.

By now, refugees are beginning to pour over into every country bordering Euroslavia, and I suggest increasing your border defenses, as well as taking in as many refugees as you can, without hurting your nation itself.

I fear that this instability will lead to instability within not only Euroslavia, but in within the entire region. We certainly hope that you are ready for some sort of backlash, not if, but when full war breaks out between the factions.

We also hope that some sort of negotiation can come out of this, possibly political support for our faction. If we can get enough support from the world, to put pressure on the other factions, they're likely to step down, giving us the sole position of the government.

Despite the news networks showing the 'weakness' of our government, we are still in hold of the nation, and will continue to execute those who would dare challenge us, or try to take us out of office. Communism is here to stay in Euroslavia, and no one can do a thing about that. Even if we are defeated by any of the factions, we will continue to murder until either we take power again, or until no one can take power at all.

Nations across the world are condemning us despite limited knowledge of the Communist regime in Euroslavia. I can be a very compassionate man, however, when provoked with war, I can turn into a very ugly person. We are very underestimated at this point, but if we can get the support of other nations around us, then the people themselves might see, in time, what is best for them. All I ask for you to do, is to declare your political support for our regime.

After hearing the discussion between government members of New Endenia, one of the men stepped forward and began to talk.

"Again, I must state that it is with great pleasure that you have invited us over to your nation in such short notice, and we thank you for your hospitality. The amount of money that you have pledged to the defense of our faction, however, is unneeded at this point. We can only hope that an actual war will not take place, however, I have been told that I can be quite naive..."

He shrugged and thought about it for a minute.
If we had weapons to support us, and to stamp out the other factions, we'll definitely have more of a chance, however, the last thing the citizens of Euroslavia want to see is more bloodshed, especially started by us of all people. If anything, we should purchase the weapons, and have them prepared when another faction begins any sort of military campaign....

He looked back at the New Endenian representative and began to speak again.

"My suggestion is that we purchase these weapons, however, we keep them in New Endenia for safe storage, that is, until another faction, or the government itself begins a war. We can only hope that this can be solved diplomatically, however, we need to take.... steps to insure that we aren't stamped out so easily."

The Hall listened to the Representative's words in silence. "Indeed you are naive, you cannot expect war not to break out in your nation. The present government is already killing hundreds of people for 'thought' crimes, you also have so many rival factions all after the same target." One of the Sitters said, "I agree Romanda Sedai, already other nations have pledge military support to other factions inside your nation, I feel the time for moderation and talks are over. War is coming to your nation, a massive bloody civil war that The White Tower is unfortunately enough to be stuck inside." The Hall murmured in agreement. "However it is too late to back out now, The White Tower has plans for the Euroslavia nation and it will do well for us to have a....friendly and like-minded government installed into the nation."

"Your suggestion of storing weapons here in New Endenia before the conflict arises is a valid suggestion, perhapes one of the best ones that you have suggested. We will begin purchasing your weapons and storing them in Salidar Military Base, when the war begins in Euroslavia, you will ensure that your faction controls a port base so that we are able to send your weapons and equipment en masse. Should the need arise, however we will deploy our special Thunderhawk Super-Carriers to fly arms and tanks to your areas." All the Hall murmured again in agreement. "Is there anything else?"

Political support for the CSD now exceeds that of the UDM, as well as the option of military support from now two nations. We must warn you, however, the Fundamentalist group, the United Christian Movement has been silent for a few weeks now, and is no doubt up to something. Our intelligence reports tell us that there is the possibility that they are planning on taking out the Communist government themselves, rather than allowing to collapse on its own, pushing Euroslavia into a civil war sooner than expected.

Call me paranoid, but sometimes, its better to be that way than dead. Once again, we thank New Endenia for your support, and we look forward to future negotiations with you."

"Need not apologise for your transgression" Romanda Sedai said, "The Tower chosed this time to be involved inside your nation's politics. The threat of terrorism has never entered the city of Haven for over 200 years. We doubt it will enter now." One of the previously unlit Sitters lit up. "Do not be complacent, Romanda Sedai, great change is coming upon us, the old ways are falling for the new." Romanda Sedai nodded. "Indeed. Your take off to Euroslavia will be ensured of, the Tower takes care of its allies. Now go in the Light." With that the Hall darkened and the Sitters faded into shadow. "This way Sir." One of the Aes Sedai pointed. As soon as the CSD Representative left, 5 out of the 7 Sitters lit up their seats.

"This is going as we have planned. The Amrylin Seat will be desposed after this fiasco." Romanda Sedai laughed as she said it. "And a proper Amrylin Seat will be installed into place, A one that the Hall can manipulate to the Hall's advantage." The rest of the Aes Sedai nodded in agreement and none of them could see a shadow figure smirking in the darkness, a feminine figure, the unmistakable grace of an Aes Sedai, her long dress and finally a black shawl. A member of the Black Ajah was here....."Excellent. The Mistress will be pleased.."

Meanwhile....

The HSI teams carried out their orders with brutal efficiency. Simple, quick, and efficient assassinations were carried out on seemingly random members of the population - but always those who publically supported the Communist Realm. Never were they anyone truly important - a dockworker here, a taxicab driver in the capital, a fishwife on the coast.

In each case, it was definitely a killing. And no witnesses were ever available.

Using experience dating back to thwarting the Nazis in the Second World War, Vastivan removal teams "liberated" some two dozen members of the CSD, often less then a step ahead of Euroslavian assassins.

Short talks with the CSD were carried out in the dark of night - their representative was then spirited out of the country and returned the next day, with none the wiser and in possession of a suitcase full of Xenthalers, still wrapped in their bankstrips. None of the CSD had direct contact information - a blind drop with two separations would serve as indication for contact, from there to a covert pick-up and removal to another locale for a conversation with a computer screen in a secure location. That, or messages were quietly placed in televised dramas, radio programs, general transmissions, according to a simple yet devious system.

Far at sea, the VSS Telemachus swam below the waves, Captain August "Mighty" Quinn watching reports from SHARD drones for transmissions from the CSD, gathering news reports and any other public information. ELINT and SOCOINT agents worked to make sense of the goings on.

Further still, HSI members discussed contacting allies for a more comprehensive view.

And inside a chamber deep in the Sultans Residence, the Empress enjoyed an afternoon tea with Sultan Lefkowitz, to be followed with a game of chess or two, and perhaps a walk in the flower gardens.

Polias Jonathan Warren walked across his office looking at the different satellite images of Communist activities in Euroslavia flicker from one to another on the veiw screens mounted to his wall. Reading his daily intelligence breifing he saw no mention of any reaction to New Tibers demand for the regime to end its bloodshed.

Sitting down at his desk, he slowly swiveled in his chair to look through the windows of the nations capitol building the Fortress Ragnath. Glancing down he saw the platoons of soldiers drilling and preparing for the possible invasion of Euroslavia. The Polias continued to look at his soldiers continue to drill even as the setting sun slowly began to lower sending its red rays flickering across the men. Slowly he began to kneel down on the floor, closing his eyes feeling the setting sun rain down upon him and he began to pray. When his prayer finished the Polias continued to kneel watching his men drill not taking his eyes off them even as the light continued to fade away. He spoke aloud to the office activating his automatic computer trascriber and began to speak:

Confirmed crimes against humanity have been commited by Communist regime currently in power in Euroslavia. Current political affiliations aside, said crimes must be brought to immediate halt by curernt regime. New Tiber, and I have grown weary of the continual satellite intelligence reports showing mass graves and executions, and is preparing to enter the state. New Tiber plans to begin contact with resistence movements for aide in said invasion.

Requesting primary contact to such groups with your aide, intelligence opperatives report contact between your office and unknown third parties assumed to be resistence groups. Currently a small number of elite Blood Stripe Companys assualt teams on route to border areas ready to begin systematic liberation of the nation, but requests Greek permission to place primary forward staging grounds on Greeco-Euroslavian border to be used by follow up troops.

New Tiber is prepared to compensate Greek government for any expenses should plan move forward. Authorized sum for invasion will remain undisclosed, but will state that any of the costs or losses suffered by Greece will be well compensated. I am also willing to send anti-terror Praetorian forces, teh finest civil defense force sin the nation to any and all Greek cities should Euroslavian forces or their allies retaliate against Greece for their aide to New Tiber.

I request an immediate response Emperor Onassis, for I will invade Euroslavia with or without Greek support. The lives of many more will be wasted if New Tiber must fight in a manner suited to fit the tactical situation, but Greek aide can stop that needless bloodshed from adding to the already rising death toll.

At that report, Captain August "Mighty" Quinn rolled his eyes most of the way back. "Damned fruit just made my job that much harder..."

"XO! Take us out another thirty miles, rig for bottom running. Set FISHING POLE for deep reception. We're going to spend some time near the rocks."

"Aye, sir!"

The Pierpont turned and swam deeper into international waters, hopefully far ahead of any attempt by the Euroslavian Communists to find out if there were any vessels sympathetic to the New Tiberians call.

2) Intelligence which comes from within Euroslavia is given to the ally to which the message was not sent to.
3) A intelligence team from New Tiber is allowed to use the Greek Embassy in Euroslavia as a entry point to the country.

Leaning back in his chair, the Polias turned to face the latest satellite images on his veiw screen. The bloodshed had slackened in some areas but only a barely noticeable amount overall. Apparently the Party did not fear New Tiber, despite the knowledge that the nations army was raised in a Spartan attitude, with military service mandatory for all and training until after you are discharged from 3 years service.

Looking back to his desk he saw a new message had arrived from his incountry intelligence team. Returning to his work the Polias made a new message to his team

Your threats do not come as a suprise to us. The first action that we will commit to is an invasion of New Tiber once the Communist regime re-places itself firmly as the legitimate government of Euroslavia. Your responses to our 'protection' of our own nation are laughable, and utterly insane. A small nation such as yours expects to defeat the mighty Euroslav military, despite it being slightly weakened....how....naive. Any attempt to invade Euroslavia will result in the destruction of your nation, people, and the capture and severe torture of your 'leader', to break your spirits. Any New Tiberian citizens within Euroslavia will currently be rounded up and shipped back to your nation. Be lucky that we don't capture all of them and execute them for supporting a nation which despites the rightful rulers of the nation.

The executions occurring in our nation are justified, however, we see no reason to explain this to your pathetic nation. Even so, these men and women are traitors to the government, and are plotting to overthrow it, with the judgement of death upon their heads. They know what they're getting into, and they know the punishment, therefore, it's their fault for getting involved in the first place. If they had the nation's interests as a whole, in mind, then they wouldn't dare do such a thing. Be warned, New Tiber, we will remember your empty threats in the future. Be prepared for the backlash of trying to topple a foreign government, when you have no right to do so.

The Fundamentalist Movement was, in a nation-wide perspective, failing. Not a single nation has thrown their support behind the United Christian Movement, leaving it completely vulnerable to the other factions. Chances at the Movement taking hold of the nation were slim to none. It was time that they did something... for the rest of the world to notice them. If they, rather than the other factions, could capture the Comrade, then they would have the power...

Inside United Christian Movement Meeting

"We only have one option left to gain possible support out there. We need to do something ...daring....something that would shock the rest of the world. That way, we can have all the influence that we need."

"Sir, I have an idea..."

"Please, share it with us all."

"Well, as you can see, the Communist government is falling no matter what anone else does. However, its influence will still remain, not only on the country, but on the entire region. My suggestion is...that we kidnap someone of importance. Our intelligence reports that the other factions are out to do the same thing."

"Who're you suggesting that we kidnap? A Congressman?"

"No, the Comrade himself."

Everyone stood up in shock. They looked at each other for a while, and then sat down again, thinking realistically.

"Once we capture him, we will have the power here in Euroslavia. The United Democratic Movement and the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship will fall to their knees."

"I don't think there's anything else to discuss. Our goal? Capture the Comrade. That's it."

Inside The White Tower:

Outside the Hall Of Sitters:

"Ah, sir. Before you leave, the Amrylin Seat has elected to send an Aes Sedai to your nation to act as a liasion officer between your faction and the White Tower, she will meet you in Valua at the TV station inside the city. She will be highly discreet in her entrance and will be sufficiently armed to protect herself from anyone." With that the Accepted ran off, obviously busy in her other duties.

The Amrylin Seat Office:

"You summoned me Mother?" A young Aes Sedai walked into the Amrylin Seat's office. "Yes Daughter, you are assigned to Euroslavia to be a liasion with the White Tower and the CSD." The Aes Sedai looked up in shocked, "Ye...Yes Mother, As the Amrylin Seat commands." The Amrylin Seat nodded her head, "Good, this is of course Sealed to the Flame, and you will need this." She handed a piece of folded paper, the Aes Sedai looked inside,

Whoever bears this goes in my name,
ask not a question,
whatever she says,
the Amrylin Seat Commands.

Sarah E. Tay Sedai
The Amrylin Seat
The Flame Of Haven
The Guardian Of The Great Seal.

With this paper, the Aes Sedai can order anyone around in the name of the Amrylin Seat. "Do not abuse it Daughter. Now go." The Aes Sedai curtised as she spoke, "In your leave mother."

The Euroslavian Border

"Be quiet." She whispered to her Warder, they quietly cross the border and into the nation of Euroslavia. She walked to one of the border towns and looked for a car. "There Alice Sedai." Her Warder pointed to one of the empty cars. She weaved a thin thread of Air to unlock the car and they both got it. "Where to Alice Sedai?" She pointed to the distance lights, "There...to the CSD city of Valua." They both drove in silence as they neared the city. "I can make out city fighting Alice Sedai, we should be cautious."

Her Warder managed to drive around the streets of the city, avoiding hails of bullet fire and rioters, Alice Sedai weaved threads of Air to block some of the incoming bullets and they finally arrived to the designated meeting point. The Valua TV station. They both ran into the building and Alice Sedai looked around, "tsk....really...." She sat down on one of the chairs and waited for the representative while her Warder walks around the inside of the building, ensuring no one was hiding.

A man dressed in a foreign-looking suit, which also covered his face walked out of the hideout of the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship along with two bodyguards. He had heard, through the grapevine, that a New Endenian representative was here to meet him. He was personally shocked that someone, who was revered to be of a high status in New Endenia, would come to a battlefield of a nation, however, that wasn't important right now. All that mattered was that he got to where she was before anyone got to her. Knowing a little about New Endenia, though, he was almost positive that she would be able to take care of herself despite the warring factions in Euroslavia.

He walked down the street as if nothing had happened in Valua...no battles in the street, whatsoever. He even remained calm when a fight broke out only 10 feet away from him and his bodyguards. Both of his guards kept watch in case someone dared to attack their leader, due to the fact that he looked like a foreigner, which didn't fare well in Euroslavia, especially around this time..

Approximately ten minutes later, the foreign-looking man arrived where he was told to go, in an abandoned news station in Valua. He walked into the station and looked around, as if he was prepared for some sort of 'final battle'. Nevertheless, no one was in site. He continued to search around the building for any stragglers or thiefs, but not a single one was found. Two minutes after entering the building, the man and his bodyguards ran into a woman sitting down in a chair, looking impatient.

"You're quite the brave woman, sitting alone in such a dangerous building. Where's your bodyguard?"

The Aes Sedai are not defenceless, anyway my Warder is patrolling." She got up and dusted herself and adjusted her Green Shawl, which proclaimed her alightment to the Green Ajah, "Anyway I am here to serve as a liasion between your faction and the White Tower." She calmly walked to the window and looked outside. "How sad that people fighting for what they believe in...really.....Anyway we have much work to be done." She walked to a upturned table and using weaves of Air, turned it upright again. "War is coming to your nation, The White Tower has already purchased over 3 billion dollars worth of military supplies for your faction and I expect more to come."

She sat down again as she continued talking, "Despite all the weaponry that we have purchased, it would be prudent to acquire or control a port facility that will allow us to better ship your weapons." By then her Warder had walked in, "Ah yes, this is my Warder. Gaidin Turin. He and I share a common bond and he has swore to protect me. Anyway I think its best that we move to a more secure location, don't you agree?" She waved her hand at the door and burst it open with a thread of Air. "Please lead the way gentlemen."

OOC: For obvious reasons, the names of the men will still remain anonymous, for the story.

The man looked in shock as this mysterious woman could manipulate the elements. He didn't question her, however, because that wasn't exactly the most important thing on his list. Getting this meeting started and staying alive were on the top of the list.

"Alrighty then ma'am, follow us."

The man and his bodyguards walked out of the abandoned news center only to find a huge fight breaking out right in front of it. There were five Communist soldiers beating up two men who looked like they were associated with the Underground Democratic Movement. The fight stopped for a brief second as both sides turned to look at who was walking out of the building, then the fight ensued.

"Pay no attention to the matter," he whispered to everyone else. "This is normal. If we were to try and fight the Communist troops, it would show, that obviously, we are involved with any of the factions. We cannot allow that."

They continued walking down the road only to see a few more random fights break out, some far away, some within 10 feet, however, they did their best to avoid them. The CSD representatives wanted to seem civil in front of the lady. The walk took approximately ten minutes, with six fights breaking out on the way.

"Six fights, eh? That's weak compared to yesterday. All-out war practically broke out." He turned and looked at the woman. "My apologies for bringing you out to see this. This is exactly why we are organizing together and requesting aid from other nations. We don't want this to happen anymore. You can't even go out into the streets without seeing, or being involved in a fight. You're either for the government, or against it. There is no median."

He paused, looked around him, gave a huge sigh, and began walking again. They had finally arrived at the coordinates of the CSD underground, which ironically, is below an ice cream parlor.

"This ward i weaved blocks our voices, no one can listen in on this conversation." She sat down on one of the chairs and took the cup of cold tea offered to her. "Thank You." She looked at the cold tea and grimaced. She weaved a thread of Fire around it to warm it up nicely. "Ah much better." She sat there sipping her tea calmly, acting as if the war wasn't going on.

She looked at the representative. "Know this, while we openly support your movement to take over the government, we will not risk any Tower Guards in this campaign, our involvement is purely the purchasing and delivering of weapons to your faction, if you want us to be involved in the fighting around Euroslavia, the Hall Of Sitters must approve and if we do, it will be a formal declaration of War against the present Euroslavian Government." She paused for a while, sipping her hot tea. "Also we need your faction to properly secure a Port Facility of sorts so that our Navy can deposit your equipment en masse, if not we will have to use the Thunderhawks to do it."

"There is an abandoned port on the south-eastern side of Euroslavia that hasn't been used in the past 2 years.

Two men were dispatched to the capital city of Pyrynn to seek out the Greek Embassy and reveal the identities of the major leaders of the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship. Their mission was to shed light upon not only the diplomats representing Nikolaos the Great, but to reveal things that had not been previously mentioned to the government of Nikolaos the Great themselves. Currently, the two men are within the city of Arcadia, which seems to be a city largely under CSD and UDM control, however ,the two factions have yet to clash over the actual control of the city. It is expected that when the Communist government falls, that both factions will be making their move.

The reception for the party will be held in the city of Valua, one that seems to be the least affected by the civil war brewing within Euroslavia. At the time of your arrival, we expect to have the party prepared for, and your gifts ready to disperse.

The Aes Sedai calmly nodded her head, "You are naive, your hopes of peace will be dashed away soon. The White Tower has forseen it, War is coming to this nation, a War that will involve many other nations as well. Kidnapping the Comrade Leader will draw unwanted attention to your faction far too early now. Play the other factions against each other and then when the time is right. You strike from the shadows and then victory will be yours." She signed and sipped her tea again. "For now, concentrate on securing the port facility so that arms and supplies can be shipped to you the soonest, currently the communist faction is still the strongest in the nation, patience. I advise patience in these troubled times."

The situation was beginning to look worse, not only in Euroslavia, but to the rest of the world. The Communist government had begun its eventual fall from power, and each faction was gathering all of its supporters from various cities to prepare themselves for the actual war. The three factions: Underground Democratic Movement, Citizens Supporting Dictatorship, and the United Christian Movement had all strived to become the most popular parties in Euroslavia.

The Underground Democratic Movement, which was probably one of the better favorites to seize power, has moved to take the capital, Pyrynn. They have also launched specific campaigns at taking out the rest of what seemed to be the Communist government, including taking their ‘shots’ at the Comrade himself.

The Citizens Supporting Dictatorship seemed to have the most support however. Before the Communist Revolution, Dictatorship thrived under the Shogun, and after his assassination, his sister, the Empress. Euroslavia was more accustomed to such a leadership.

The United Christian Movement was probably the least expected faction to actually take power in Euroslavia. Approximately 6% of the population showed little interest, or even some support to the Fundamentalist group. There have even been reports of the Christian Movement going out of its way to persecute those who didn’t preach what they wanted to. One instance was reported in which three men employed by the Fundamentalist group walked into the most influential Church within all of Euroslavia, and perhaps, the entire region, and severely beat the Head Priest, to make sure that he preached what the Christian Movement’s agenda was. Many protests were held outside of the church after this scandal hit the news, however, the Communist government, knowing that this movement wasn’t gonna go far, dispersed the crowd without and violence, which was a rarity for the oppressive police force.

There was really one thing left for the whole nation to fall into complete anarchy: the fall of the Comrade. His removal from power would signify the end of the Communist regime in Euroslavia, and would herald an era with which Euroslavia or the rest of the world hadn’t seen before. An era of bloodshed, backstabbing, and death. The Comrade himself didn’t really have much power anyways. The only thing he could really do was hold diplomatic conference with other nations, however, there weren’t too many that sought out anything with a failing government.

The entire world was looking into this situation with concern. Many nations have decided to support the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship, with their knowledge of the previous history of the government of Euroslavia. There were a few, however, who supported the Democratic Movement, in hopes that democracy could thrive in a nation with little experience of such a thing. Admittedly, almost all of the nations out there supported a government, in which friendly relations would already have been established. Basically, everyone is supporting a government that would serve to their interests first. It’s not surprising though. If the nations of the world were to let the situation get out of hand, there was no telling what would happen. There was always the grave possibility that someone of a horrible mindset would take power, and lead Euroslavia down the path of destruction. Such a situation would require…a vast amount of power and influence to put down.

The United Democratic Movement was carrying out its most important task of all, capturing the Comrade. It certainly wasn’t going to be easy, however, they had…insurance. There were a few important Guards to the Comrade himself who defected, and were promised good positions in the new government, when the UDM takes power (if it succeeded).

Within the Palace of the Comrade

“Code blue, number six. Code blue. The entrance into the Palace has been breached. Proceed with the plan to enter the Comrade’s Room.”

“We’re on our way, Silver Eagle. Over and out.”

The six operatives moved into the Palace with the aid of the Guards. The entrance was held secure by those who hadn’t defected, so this was the hard part. The only worries were there. Once they had the Comrade, the escape would be easy.

There were two groups, one that entered through the underwater passageway into the palace, and another group who made their way into a secret entrance in the side of the castle. Only the Guards of the Palace knew about it, so security wasn’t nearly as tight there.

“We’re approaching the Dining Hall Silver Eagle. Repeat, we’re approaching the Dining Hall. Where are you located?”

“Our group is on the now on the second floor, only a few rooms away from the Comrade’s Room. All we need for your to secure is the front entrance so we can get out of here.”

“Roger that, Silver Eagle. We’ll take out the Main Entrance Guards as soon as you’ve captured the Comrade. Once the other Guards hear of the disturbance, they’ll run up there to see what happened. At that point, we’ll covertly take out as many as possible, making way for your team to storm out of the entrance. We’ll follow you out, and make our way to the escape boat, and sail back to Valua. Over and out.”

The 2nd team was just outside of the Comrade’s doorway. All that was left was to take out the guards within the entrance, and to capture the Comrade alive, and unhurt.

“Alright team, let’s move in!”

At that point, the door broke open and shots were fired everywhere. The Guards that had defected gave the UDM an approximate map of exactly where each Guard would be standing, and where the Comrade’s bed would be. The coordinates were exactly right. The four guards immediately slumped to the floor without realizing what happened. In an explosive manner, the Comrade awoke to his Guards being massacred, however, there was nothing he could do because of the three operatives was at his bed, pointing a gun to his head.

“Get up, NOW!”

“I don’t know who you think you are, but you’re gonna pay for….”

His brief speech was put to a hault by the fist of the operative to the head. The Comrade slumped over, and was carried out of the room, and backwards to the entrance of the Palace.

The second battle had just finished with another slaughter of the Guards, and the front door to the Palace was open. The entire Palace was caught completely off-guard with men scrambling everywhere. Casualties had begun to pile up, so it was time to get out of there immediately. Both groups met up and took off, out of the Palace and transported themselves to the Dock, where their getaway was waiting. It was only a matter of time when the news hit the entire world…

Gordon Lew looked at the news.....Not good, not good at all.

The situation in Euroslavia was going to hell in a handbasket. He had promised Xenizen troops in the event of an insurrection versus the existing government, which had generously allowed them to keep oil concessions in their part of Turkey/Asia Minor.

Now that was more likely than ever. He then decided that enough was enough.

He then called the State Department.

"Taira? Authorize the shipment of weapons to the Euroslav government. Also, have Nomura ready the Marines in Turkey and in Sendai, and have her ready SOG for any intervention. If things get too hot in Euroslavia, we want in."

He then hung up. Looking outside, he was confident he had made the right decision. Still, he had a sense that he should have backed the Democrats, still, what was done was done......and now, Upper Xen had thrown its hat in the ring, and like it or not, they were in for a bumpy ride.

This news was flashed before the combined Hall Of The Sitters and the Amrylin Seat, there were murmers all around. "If this leads to war, then must the White Tower declare war on all opposing nations?" One of the Sitters asked. "What have we gotten ourselves into." The Amrylin Seat waved her hand to silence the Hall. "No matter, we have committed ourselves fully to this and we will see it through!" Romanda Sedai of The Hall snorted, "Surely this is one of your lies again, there are other nations that are more powerful than us and even the combined strength of the Asha'man and Aes Sedai cannot beat." The Amrylin Seat shot a look of comtempt at Romanda Sedai. Silence! I will not have the Hall split over this."

"I have recieved word that the Black Ajah has struck again, Lord Powell of Exetonia is dead, they assassinated him in his sleep. The Black Ajah is moving now, readying itself to strike us down. This Euroslavian Crisis will show them that the White Tower is firm and resolved and ready to take on anything from them. If war is to break out in Euroslavia, The Tower Guards will be sent forward to aid the CSD." The Hall broke out into more chatting, "Silence! The Amrylin Seat has spoken."

There was a knock at the door, and Kirsty looked up. It sounded argent. The camera showed it to be Tom, and he looked a little bothered. He was clutching a wad of documents and looking bothered as he waited outside the huge wooden double door. She hit the switch and it opened for him, he walked accross the slightly oversized office to the modest desk in the middle and then began.

"Hello, Im sorry to intterupt, but you might want to see this. It's something I've been watching for ages." He spoke quickly and excitedly.
"Well?" she wasn't impressed yet.
"Euroslavia... we have been watching for a while and think it might be time to intervene. It's a little hectic there"
"that sounds like an understatement. Show me the important things"

He produced a few sheets of paper with reports and she read them quickly, her expression quickly becoming a frown.

"We must support democracy in the interest of the people. " She finnaly said.

"We should start with worda and negotiations. I doubt they will work however. And I think intervention is necessary. Sadly we have no military bases."

"get one, to borrow."
He smiled at her, impressed for a moment, then carried on.
"So should I tell Matt to get some troops ready"
"yes and some aircraft, we will have a base nearby I assure you."

Notquiteaplace requests that Euroslavia organise a democratic regime. If you do, we offer 50,000 of our power armoured soldiers, with support to help keep order until the government gains control. Our soldiers are well trained and our tactical doctrine is well suited for fighting terorists, we have learn't many lessons in Cuba and can deal with the most cunning of enemy. We will support actions against opponents of democracy to whatever extent is necessary.

We request that a nearby nation lend us a large airbase and perhaps a small dokcing facility, as well as a runway suitable for heavy cargo, so that we can supply such an operation. We will pay a few costs if necessary, though we would prefer that an ally of democracy in Euroslavia help us so that we can count on you.

Breaking News from Euroslavia
In a series of unprecedented events, and through a plan with the luck of an Irishman, the Comrade was captured last night by an unknown faction in their quest to seize power in Euroslavia. Today is officially the first day that the Communist government has fallen, and it signifies a new era for us all. Not only do we live in anarchy, but there are three factions in Euroslavia that are planning the unexpected. The United Christian Movement, the Underground Democratic Movement, and the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship are certainly expected to go all out, from this day forward, to achieve their goal of supreme power in Euroslavia.

The entire country has been divided into three sectors, for the sake of keeping track of where each faction has organized itself. The UDM capital remains in Valua, which is in south-east Euroslavia; the CSD remains in Arcadia, which is in north-east Euroslavia; and the UCM remains in Nasrad, which is Mid-Western Euroslavia. Geographically speaking, both the UDM and the CSD have the advantage of holding port cities in the east, while the UCM has to sneak weapons in through neighboring nations. Each faction has a strategic placement, adjacent to the capital Pyrynn.

Currently, the CSD holds the most support from foreign governments; however, the UDM has the advantage of easier ways to defend its own territory, because of the forests and rivers that dominate the landscape. The UCM’s geography gives it the best defense through land means, due to the massive desert; however, transportation between its’ own group was hard enough.

There was still another issue that remained; the actual military of Euroslavia. At this point, soldiers were defecting left and right because of the eventual fall of the Communist government. Everyone could see it, but it wasn’t expected to occur so soon. Therefore, it left the traitorous soldiers to choose which faction they believed in, or rather, who they thought would win the long civil war. The UDM and the CSD were pretty even in the amount of recruits they obtained, and the amount of citizens that supported them. The UCM; however, wasn’t nearly as supplied, and wouldn’t have a chance in the actual war. Their decisions within the next few days could sway the war either way, if it were to throw its support behind one of the other two factions. Basically, it all comes down to the strategies and the exact plans that each leader had masterminded to take control of Euroslavia…

Lazaris came bursting in the Emperor's office with very urgent news.

"Emperor, the Comrade of Euroslavia has been kidnapped!"

"By who?! The CSD did not tell me they will do it so soon!"

"I do not know but by this war will soon break out in Euroslavia."

"Where did you learn of this?"

"Our SHIA agent working in the Palace of the Comrade saw the whole thing."

"Alright then. Leave me now. I will call you back when I have any new orders that need to be carried out."

"Yes, Emperor"

With that Lazaris walked out of the Emperor's office and closed the door behind him. Nikolaos went back to his desk and began writing a new message.

A scrawny looking man ran into the hideout with what looked like urgent news.

"Sir, I have some bad news."

"What is it? What's wrong?"

"The Comrade has been captured. The evidence almost completely proves that the Underground Democratic Movement was behind it all. Officially, the Communist government has fallen, and Euroslavia has entered a state of anarchy..." He let it all out, and gasped for more air.

This was certainly troubling news. With the Comrade gone, and the Communist government fallen, a war was going to inevitably take place. Each faction now had the chance to seize the capital, and gain control of an entire nation, if their strategies succeeded. The Communist will was crumbled to pieces, just as if it were the Walls of Jericho when the Israelites destroyed them with the aid of God.

"I'm afraid we no longer have an easy task at hand, Aes Sedai. We need to deploy our own soldiers to the port city immediately in order to make sure that these weapons shipments are guaranteed. I highly doubt that the UDM would have such an interest in a small port. If the UDM truly has the Comrade captured, then.... I'm quite worried about the existance of the CSD in Euroslavia. The citizens will see the UDM as the conquerers of the Communist oppressors. Support is likely to sway to their field. It's up to us to gain back some ground against them, and the UCM."

I'm afraid that our faction was not behind this. A strong amount of evidence points to the Underground Democratic Movement, as the official sponsors of the kidnapping. It seems they forced a lot of the Guards to defect to their movement, or risk capture and torture. They were also promised good ranks within a Democratic Euroslavia, however corrupt it may be. I wouldn't even consider them a 'Democracy'. We look forward to your declaration of our support, as we are still looking to guarantee that the world supports our cause, no matter how bleak it may look.

"Mr Vice-President Sir"

A Secret Service Agent came into the room and handed over a sheet of paper before withdrawing to the doorway.

A second later the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff entered the room and approached the Vice-President's desk.

"Mr Vice-President Sir, the situation in Euroslavia just became slightly more complicated."

He recieved a nod to continue

" It seems that the government has now fallen over the edge, our snooper satellites and aircraft are picking up lots of military traffic. Some has been cracked and appears to be junior commanders asking for orders and not recieveing any. I would rekon that we will have a few senior Generals bugging out to neutrals pretty soon, saving their own skin and that. Basically thats a civil war about to happen, two major players already identified with a couple of other minors by the looks of it. HUMIT is pretty vague, the embassy has a good station cheif but little in the way of sources, and so we are mostly relying on Electronic Surveillance. However we do have another concern that needs to be addressed ASAP sir."

"Getting the Citizens out. Whats the estimates for numbers in the country?"

"5,500 at the last check Sir. We have a squadron of C-5's standing by at Baxter (DT controlled bulgaria) in case we need to air lift them out. Only problem would be Euro Air Force assets, but we can handle them if it becomes entirely necessary. State need the order from you to begin telling our citizens to get outta Dodge as it were Sir."

"You have the order. Instruct them to get the quickest flights out, and get IHIA to put on some more if that isnt enough. Our citizens first, then allies, then neutrals. Have that squadron of C-5s come to advanced alert and also get some Special Ops spun up."

"Yes Sir."

Being a former Army General himself, Vice-President Bull knew exactly what needed to be done. He also knew that President Anderson in Celtayoshi needed to be informed right away, and so he lifted his phone.

Emperor Barin stood slowly, raising himself from his comfortable chair. He slowly moved across the room and picked up one of the many hardbound books littering his walls and tables. “Ivan,” he spoke to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, though not looking at him, “Ivan, the Commonwealth could not afford to enter into the fracas before now because we are, well spread thin at this moment in time. Neither you, Daniel, nor myself for that matter saw the rapid expansion of the Commonwealth. Hell, we have three new Royal Colonies in a matter of only a few years. Our fleets are spread thin, and yes, we have one nearing Euroslavia. However, I do not want to immediately get involved in yet another damn civil war. In Lindim we had one of our bloody cities nuked…”

Barin noticed he had raised his voice, and then put down the small black book bound in cracked and worn leather. The book contained several of Barin’s personal favourites on European political philosophy from the days long since passed, he had specially ordered its production from the Commonwealth’s massive book publishing industry. The book was relatively thin, and he glanced down at the title, remembering its contents. Locke’s Treatises on Government, Hobbe’s Leviathan, and Marx’s Manifesto. Tomes he had read so long ago, but now seemed so important. Ivan chose not to interrupt him and so Barin composed himself in silence.

“Ivan, prepare the press room for a small announcement, to be given by me about the situation in Euroslavia. I will be announcing our support of the establishment of a liberal state – through the power of their dictatorship party.”

“But Your Majesty,” Ivan interrupted, “shouldn’t we be supporting the democratic revolutionaries?”

“Ivan… sometimes you surprise me,” Barin responded in a calm, nearly chastising fashion. “How often do democratic revolutions actually lead to democracies. Sure, there are the successes… but for the most part they seek to install a basic oligarchy into power.” Barin’s eyes roamed his private collection of fiction works, and interestingly landed on one he personally favoured. “Are you familiar with George Orwell, Ivan?”

“Only in passing, sir. He opposed totalitarian regimes if I am not mistaken?”

“Indeed he did, let me read you a small passage from Nineteen Eighty-Four.” Barin found his dog-eared page and the old, fading pen marks underlining one certain passage.

Throughout recorded time, and probably since the end of the Neolithic Age, there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low…

The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim -- for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -- is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal. Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its main outlines recurs over and over again. For long periods the High seem to be securely in power, but sooner or later there always comes a moment when they lose either their belief in themselves or their capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High. Presently a new Middle group splits off from one of the other groups, or from both of them, and the struggle begins over again.

Barin closed the book and rested it on a small table next to his favourite reading chair. “So you see, Ivan. These democratic revolutionaries are more than likely this Middle group. They seek no democracy for all, they seek power for themselves. And since that is the case, it is far better to ally ourselves with those who have no pretenses about being dictatorships. We can merely hope that they are granted an enlightened despot and not some maniac.”

Ivan merely nodded, feeling foolish for not seeing what the Emperor saw through his jaded glasses. “Then I will go and prepare a press conference, Your Majesty.”

Barin adjusted his wire-framed glasses and looked out into the sea of bright white lights and massive mics. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here before you today so that I may announce to the citizens of the Commonwealth and to the people of Euroslavia that the Commonwealth has decided it is in the best interests of both our peoples to support the Citizens Supporting Dictatorship. It is my hope, however, that once power is firmly settles the CSD will select a wise ruler who sees the importance of governmental transparency and the importance of the rights of the citizens under his or her rule.”

“It is also my hope that once said government is established, the nation of Euroslavia and the Commonwealth of Azazia can begin to work together to peacefully bring about stability in a ravaged land. To this end, the Commonwealth is prepared to supply the CSD with whatever we can spare that will assist them in their attempt to secure and make safe a troubled nation. I hope this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between our two nations.

“Good day.”

OOC: This is strictly modern tech. I don't recognize 'power armoured soldiers'. If you'd like, feel free to offer your political support to a faction, but for now, that's all thats gonna happen in this thread..
OOC: Well its not exactly FT either... (if you read the Cuba thread you'll see that it has limits and weaknesses, and the article in my sig too, except my PA is generall man sized, but works ona simular principle... ie it could be done by any rich nation now with some research). But I understand, if you want strict MT, then it doesn't qualify. However my Airforce and navy are merely cutting edge modern tech (stuff at prototype level and/or just being phased in now) so they are still able to help. My special forces, like paratroopers are fully MT, they use a non standard weapon, but it's MT still.

If that's any use.

Otherwise, I will just throw money and training the way of your democratic people. My men are very well trained (up to $4m per head now) and could be of use passing skills on or providing special forces.

A scrawny looking man ran into the hideout with what looked like urgent news.

"Sir, I have some bad news."

"What is it? What's wrong?"

"The Comrade has been captured. The evidence almost completely proves that the Underground Democratic Movement was behind it all. Officially, the Communist government has fallen, and Euroslavia has entered a state of anarchy..." He let it all out, and gasped for more air.

This was certainly troubling news. With the Comrade gone, and the Communist government fallen, a war was going to inevitably take place. Each faction now had the chance to seize the capital, and gain control of an entire nation, if their strategies succeeded. The Communist will was crumbled to pieces, just as if it were the Walls of Jericho when the Israelites destroyed them with the aid of God.

"I'm afraid we no longer have an easy task at hand, Aes Sedai. We need to deploy our own soldiers to the port city immediately in order to make sure that these weapons shipments are guaranteed. I highly doubt that the UDM would have such an interest in a small port. If the UDM truly has the Comrade captured, then.... I'm quite worried about the existance of the CSD in Euroslavia. The citizens will see the UDM as the conquerers of the Communist oppressors. Support is likely to sway to their field. It's up to us to gain back some ground against them, and the UCM."


"See...The White Tower has forseen this incident. Indeed support will sway to the UDM movement however, currently you do have the most foreign support, that is what matters now. Send your men forth to secure the port facility, The White Tower's navy will begin sending them over as soon as you secure it. If you require immediately aid, I have recieved word that the Tower Guard is ready to be deployed to assist you but this will mean declaring war against the other factions. Decide quickly."
