In a televised address to the nation today, King Dayan announced that the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense, in conjunction with the Royal Army, will begin overseeing construction of a series of defensive fotresses along Malkyer's south-eastern border. It is expected that the forts will provide a much-needed strongpoint for government and public-security forces in the dry, barren land of Malkyer's south.

"My subjects, as you well know, for many years the towns and settlements in the south and east of our great Kingdom have been living with the threat of bandit raids, gangs of roving ex-convicts, and communist rebels. To combat these threats and better fufill my obligations to protect you, my subjects, I have ordered the construction of several small forts in the area, near each town and settlement. Each of these forts will be garrisoned by a small contingent of Royal Army troops. For years, whenever there was an attack by these criminals, it took the Army several days after they were notified, if they got word at all, to send in a sizeable enough force to be sure of wiping out the threat. Needless to say, this didn't work very well. I hope this series of fortifications will help to rectify the problem."

The King went on to speak about several other initatives the Royal Government is taking to wipe out the bandit threat in the south.

OOC: Comments welcome. Also, I'm thinking of doing an RP based around these forts, and need someone to RP as the bandits, ex-cons, and/or communists. Let me know either here or via TG if you want in.

Captain Rostov tossed his cigarette BUtt onto the ground. Looking up at the newly constructed fort, he commented "Man, in a way I'm sorry those bandits haven't Pushed at one of the forts yet." The soldiers standing with him laughed, because they were bored and wanted a real balls-out fire-fight as much as he did.
