Things in Saharistan
Guys, use this thread for Saharistan.
The tactical overview basically reads as this.
Major combat is over, although a cold war style strategic naval operation is going on in the bay
The country has been divided, and Wilink and McKagan have built a base
Insurgents are carrying out operations
Reconstruction is beginning
We need to start the government building process
I have officially started an offensive agaisnt what I call "Jihad Dudes"
Ok here is more bad info- Baghdad has just been taken over by insurgents. You better get the stryker out of there.
Stryker is out to sea, anyhow.
Remember the "Cold War Era Naval War".... well... the Axl Rose wants to have a target... that, and Jihad Dudes were reported in trying to leave the country via tugboat.
Space Union
24-05-2005, 03:58
Currently, Space Union is setting up a interim government in its district (now called SU Saharistan meaning Space Union's Saharistan for formal reasons). We currently are writing their constitution as phase 1. Once we are done with Phase 1 we can go to Phase 2. Phase 2 in Reconstruction of Saharistan.
Neelam Grewal,
Governor of SU Saharistan
Meh, i'm sending the tanks into Baghdad, that'll be a short battle. There's not many insurgents left, most are seen running away.
The MF is setting up a constitution, while at the same time securing its section.

If there is anyway our government can help, please let us know.
-Prime Minister Kleshgimeir Halberd-
Willink forces are moving in to retake Baghdad but we are requesting support.There are an estimated 15,000 insergents holding the 'Ruins'(im not even sure its a city anymore), and an unkown amount of armed civilians. We are plannig a major Suprise attack on the force, and i will post it soon. Untill then, SU-25's are bombing Them while they try to run away in Armored vehicles left behind by there old government, or on camels. if anyone hasent thought about it yet, we still need to remove the nuclear weapons still in the country(he didnt fire all 400.)

We have established a military base in our province, and it is under full nuclear lockdown pending regional clean-up by Leafanistani forces. We will move a peacekeeping force in as soon as decontamination is complete, and offer the services of our hypersonic bombers, which can be reconverted to transports with some notice, to any Saharistani refugees that wish to be relocated to our province, or to neighboring provinces. Additionally, we have established our headquarters in our section of the former area of Baghdad, also under nuclear lockdown pending decontamination of the region.
[OOC: If anyone here is good with maps, maybe they could draw up a map showing the territorial breakdowns of Saharistan between the coalition nations, as well as the breakdown of Baghdad. That could help things here.]
Our Special forces teams have recovered 50 nuclear devices, but those are the ones we've known about for a long time. The others are completly unknown to us...
OOC: I'm off to bed guys.
In the Willink sector Jamialay bay or whatever has been renamed port stanley and construction has begun on housing, roads, power plants, a seaport and an airport.
oh i have a little info on the country- Ok think of it as a large Square- on the bottom in the left side is port stanly. on the middle right side is baghdad. Most of the country is desert, execpt on riversides on the left side of the country.
Here are pics of progress so far-

[OOC: Found a map that might help some.
http://img88.echo.cx/my.php?image=untitled2ig.png
Although it's not a map of Saharistan itself, it will work until we come up with something better. I suppose we can assume that Saharistan is similar in shape and size to Sinical.]

OOC: Which nations is it divided amongst? (I'm working on the map right now)
Here are the nations- Space union, WIllink, Mckagen,Halberdgardia and you I guess. Willink has the bottom left corner on the ocean, including port stanley, the hub of activity in this region. Baghdad is in on the right border on a river.

[OOC: Willink, your picture of Baghdad seems to be, well, a little optimistic, considering that my forces and McKagan bombed the shit out of it, and that was before all the nukes went off. Is that a picture of what the reconstructed Baghdad will look like? If it isn't, you might want to take it down, as there's really nothing of the city of Baghdad left.]
That is the only part of baghdad not damadged by anything, in the extream northeweastern side of the city. oh well i have begun arming the Military of my section of Saharistan also known as the PSDF-Port Stanley Defence Force.

Leafanistan definitely needs a claim in Saharistan, and as 100,000 of my troops are active in Saharistan, I believe I could easily set up a claim.
I'm working on forifying the nation so foreign fighters can't get in...
I can send 50,000 troops.
OOC: Was I logged on yesterday? I have suspicion that someone used my computer in my absense and the account is on Auto-login. If I was, please disregard all was said yesterday.
Thanks,
Soundwave
Yeah right,
So someone that wasn't you had perfect knowlege of this conflict, and then decided to invade me.
Send the troops, we'll seperate them and use them for border patrol.
OOC: I had knowledge up until yesterday, because the capture was in my nation.
INVASION??? Can I say Godmodding? I don't even know where you are located lol. Sorry about if anything too rash was said.
OOC: Meh, I just ignored it.
I wish overbear was on so we could continue our little naval thing.
OOC: Don't know him... I changed my password and I guess I'll have to manually login from now on.... Ughhh
OOC: Anyway...
IC: The Spirit of Twin Springs high altitude bomber is now on station.
If the insurgents take another city, evacuate all you can, because we're not giving them time to run.
We have recaputred half of baghdad, with a loss of 152 troops and 4 APC's.
Enemy losses are estimated at around 7,000
You guys, you really gotta stop destroying Cities just to destroy a few people.
I've got some Air Cav units entering the North Side of the city, you might want to link up with them...
Or you can pull out and let us bomb it, it's not like anything is left for us to tear up.
You guys, you really gotta stop destroying Cities just to destroy a few people.
The cities have been destroyed before now, it's not like anything else can be damanged very much.
In other news, the Federation is hot on the trail of finding another stash of the nukes that are left over from the original shipment.
So for, out of 400, an unknown number (to me) have ben fired, and 12 have been found.
The Parthians
24-05-2005, 22:09
What happened? What was the situation?
-Parthian Department of Intelligence.
The region was turned into a warzone between Leafanistan and Saharistan. I and another nation (Halberdgardia) sent a destroyer each to watch the situation. His was attacked in internation waters. A coalition against Saharistan's leader formed, and one that supported him. The country was invaded, and which point he aquried 400 nukes and fired some of them at Willink. Willink fired back. The country was carpet bombed 3 times.
We got the terrorist dude, now we're fighting an insurgency while trying to find the former governments weapons.
Some insurgents have taken control of a small nuclear reator in the Northern part of the country. No cities are directly in the fallout, but one could possibly be exposed to radiation. I'll not make a move yet, but The Spirit of Twin Springs is en'route, just incase.
Today The Clapton began to fire tomahawk missiles at supposed Insergent bases. In other news, Willink's 1st aircraft carrier has been commissioned, named affectionaly the WNF-Vista and is on its way here to base at port stanley.

Both thease ships will be part of the new WNF battle battalion.
The Federation has 5 Carriers, almost 6.
One of them is currently in this theatre, but we're afraid to bring anymore in...
Besides, we already have air superiority, we can just use ground bases.
A third carrier has just been proposed, to be named Lebenon. Here are a few pics

Maj. Underwood: Spyplane SR-71-Alpha is above you Charlie Carrier. I'm seeing a large regiment of groundtroops about 1/4 mile on land, probobly about 700 of them. Hard to see from here, but looks like they have a few missle silos hidden on some of the islands off shore. Any suggestions?

The Spirit of Twin Springs is en route, as is Federation Destroyer Stryker.

I never thought it would be possible for you guys to continue this, you have proven to me just how pathetic you are. It really is quite astonishing, you made up an army (the insurgents) and now you fight them and report yours and their losses. This is even beyong godmodding, you're fighting an enemy that YOU CREATED.
Just move on you assholes, this is the most pitiful act at rollplay I have ever seen, this is the third thread on something that ENDED in the first one!
If you don't like it, don't read it.
It sounds to me like you're just mad because you lost the war. ;)

Hah, and you don't even know how to act in a war. Your idea of fun is to have 10 nations dogpile on one, how is that even called a war? Must have been fun for you since you can't stop. I just can't fathom how you are fighting an enemy that doesn't exsist.
By the way the only reason i stumbled on this trainwreck is because I went to the forums and I saw yet ANOTHER Saharistan thread and I didn't believe what I saw, I had to investigate and pray that I was mistaken.

So what? He HAD support, but it's not like everyone in theatre just turned on him for no reason. It's the typical thing that comes from muslim nations. "Evil invaders have ganged up on poor little innocent us."

OOC: Besides, it's only good and realistic that they carry on even after the actual war has ended. Just look at the current Iraq, and you see that beating conventional army is not the same thing as victory.
I know,
I don't like the loose ends, and I don't like fighting a bloody war for a population, while my army doesn't take hardly any casulties.
A 10 on 1 against a conventional army is going to produce FEW casulties, but an insurgency against any amount of soldiers is going to be hard.
Plus, the main point of these threads is the rebuilding and reunification of the country.

The Second Holy Empire... Yep, they lost also... What is this fuck's problem? Yeah, I was a supporter of the leader of Saharistan until I foud out his true intention then I turned him over to the colation.

I supported him at the beginning of the conflict, then I went neutral.

Uh, for your information, faggot, I pulled out after he launched nukes so I wasn't involved in the "war". Second of all you can't turn someone in that DOESN'T EXSIST! You didn't even have a part of this war so why don't you shut the fuck up, pussy.
Sinical,
Don't respond to his last post.
I really didn't want to flame you, but if you insist...
Congratulations! You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction.
It's just as well you can type, for if you had to speak your mind, you'd be speechless. Are you always this ignorant, or are you making a special effort today? Oh well, at least you only charge what your free advice is worth. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."
You are about as entertaining as a child's inflatable punching toy. You bop it, it springs back, you bop it again and you forget it ever existed. It slowly deflates in an unused corner, then one day you throw it away. You are the kind of person who, when one first meets you, one doesn't like you. But when one gets to know you better, one hates you. Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if you weren't so dumb that even blondes tell jokes about you; if your weren't so fat that when you run, you make the CD player skip at the radio station, or if you didn't have a face that is registered as a biological weapon. Who am I kidding? You would.
Dullard, do yourself and everyone else a favor, take a fatal overdose of your medication.

My guys have attacked, and here is the report.
We made our assault on a military outpost, and caused severe damadge to all enemy forces on island. We dropped out payloads on barracks, 2 silos, and what appear to be terrorist training centers. there was also a few T-72's there, and they were also destroyed.

(To the Dumbass) I see that you are fluent in Gibbering Moronese. Unfortunately, I'm not. You generate more waffle than the waffle making machine in a waffle factory. Try learning elementary grammar before attempting to inflict your next literary abomination on this message board.
I used to think that you were a gibbering idiot. Now, after reading your latest post, I have a much lower opinion of you. You must have a very large brain to hold such a vast amount of sheer ignorance. Anyway, who was talking to you or even taking you under consideration? I am reminded of something relevant that Benjamin Disraeli said: "He was distinguished for ignorance - for he had only one idea and that was wrong."
You light up a room when you leave it. No doubt your life is so dull, that you can actually write your diary one week in advance. I'd get more pleasure from running my nostrils down a cactus, than reading another contribution from you. Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if you weren't so stupid that even single-celled organisms out score you in IQ tests; if your weren't so fat that buildings bounce when you haul your Sumo Wrestler mass down the street, or if you didn't have a face that could scare a hungry wolf off a meat truck. Nah, of course you would.
In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded?

Dude,
My ground forces are stretched WAY too thin, I can't get any target locks on individual targets because "The Spirit of Twin Springs" flys so high and all. I ask that if you have any units assaulting a target, that you have someone laser designate it, otherwise the most expensive peice of air equipment in this theatre will have to do the job of a plane 40 years older.

That is the site for the map of saharistan (somewhat) and what the divisions look like. May not be true to the real thing, but hey....we need to compensate, since the player of Saharistan does not supply us with info.

Leafanistan
25-05-2005, 01:20
Leafanistani Forces have destroyed a covert submarine pen. It is a rather odd thing, with only about 3 diesels moored there underneath a concrete bunker with closing doors. A large bouncing bomb got inside and the explosion went off without a hitch. Enemy troops had no AA, we have suffered no casualties.
Special Forces with traditional Army forces are prepared to rush inside after just 2 more bunker busters.

25-05-2005, 01:40
Ackerenia is sending the 4th Infantry Battalion to Port Stanley. These are to be used as a security force, under Willink's command. They'll arrive in 4-5 NS days.
Also, Ackerenia has just elected it's newest Prime Minister (ex-Colonel) Azrael Ackeren. He is to be sworn into office next NS year.
-Ackerenian Senate-
Since my troops in this theatre are overworked, and even though I pledged not to until the WMD's had been completly cleaned, I am landing 50,000 more soldiers and 150 more 'Summey Class' main battle tanks. Now that the enemy Air Force has been completly destroyed we don't have to worry about that, but my troops are still fighting an extensive war on terror.
This brings the total number of Federation troops in this theatre to 280,000.
We've lost 15,342 troops and 29 tanks in this conflict, along with various APC's and helicopters.

A new strain of my bacteria is more efficient at processing heavy metals so the clean up in some sectors is significantly, I've begun heavy robotic clean up of the biosludge, we'll finally have some relatively safe areas.
Once my troops don't have to walk around in full radiation suits I might be able to get the number of deployed troops below 200,000.

As soon as Halberdgardia's sections of Saharistan are detoxified, we will deploy a large peacekeeping detachment of some 100,000 Halberdgardian Army troops to the region. We wish to keep the majority of our military power in reserves, so that the strain of our economy is kept to a minimum, and so that we can maintain some degree of flexibility in dealing with other conflicts, should that situation arise.

Once you send your 100,000 in, I'm taking 80,000 out.
It's also about time I start the military vehicle rotation... I have alot of APC's that have to have their armor removed, repaired, and then the anti-radiation systems removed and cleaned.
This is starting to be an expensive war.
100 Subjects have volenteered to live in the "Safe Areas." They are being payed $2,000,000 US each for this experiment. Permission to deploy? :confused:

That is the site for the map of saharistan (somewhat) and what the divisions look like. May not be true to the real thing, but hey....we need to compensate, since the player of Saharistan does not supply us with info.

Sigh, we've only cleaned containminated farmland, so we can low population density. However I suggest issuing iodine pills as radioiodine is still high in the area, and can cause thyroid cancer. However iodine pills aren't a magic bullet. Once the area clocks under 500 microoetngens I'll declare it somewhat dangerous, under 250 and I'll declare it safe to live, but with proper care and not eating anything that grows out of the earth directly is safe. Most radiation is still in the earth.
An amphibious assault ship beaches itself.
Damaged and overused APC's from all over the theatre are assembled on the beach. Where the crew of the ship begin to disassemble the specific units on the APC's.
While these units are being prepared to be transfered back to the supply depots and repaired/refitted, 125 new APC's roll off onto the beach and prepare for assignments.
Along with this transfer, the first 30,000 of the new 50,000 troops are moved into the country. With this increase in ground power, crime rates and looting begin to fall.
In other news, electricity, running water, and small amounts of sewage systems have been set up in one area under Federation jurisdiction. Along with food imports and deradiation procedures, this part of the country is beginning to return to normal. Along with this good news, candidate lists for the district representative's are beginning to take shape.
Over 150 foreign fighters have been caught on their way into the country.
Sounds good, can we meet somewhere outside of the Zone and transfer the subjects? How about 30 k/m from the Area of Danger? Preferably the Air Force Base.

We also have another problem. Hundreds of containminated APCs and Tanks, I'm going to have them shipped to Tannenmille for destruction in the sun.
Also, the Dead Zone currently clocks 4000 microroetngens, that is 400 times normal, no give it another year.

If you are talking about your own tanks and APC's, we can decontaminate them for you.

Halberdgardian Territory in Saharistan, 18:54 Zulu
A fleet of Halberdgardian C-12 Galaxy aircraft roar down from the sky, carrying precious cargo: 100,000 peacekeeping troops, all equipped with anti-radiation equipment, to maintain order in the Halberdgardian areas that are being detoxified, and a small group of a few thousand brave Saharistani refugees that are being returned to their broken nation to begin the process of healing.
Within hours, the teeming mass of humanity has landed at the small part of Baghdad International Airport that has been cleared of debris and rubble, and dispersed. A new detachment of Halberdgardian Army engineers join their compatriots in helping to rebuild the same airport that, just months before, their comrades had been blowing up. Another detachment helps lay down basic infastructure for the refugees and help them build new homes.
Within a matter of (NS) weeks, most of Halberdgardian-occupied Saharistan begins to look similar to rebuilt McKagan sections. Additionally, the engineers are making excellent progress at Baghdad International Airport, having rebuilt another full airstrip in addition to the one already cleared, and a number of hangars, control towers, and supply depots. There is still much of the airport that needs to be rebuilt, but progress is being made.

Removing external radition is easy, what you don't understand is that objects like these absorb radiation and radiate on their own. That is why the russians left so many trucks behind in Chernobyl, too radioactive to remove and they've absorbed it and begun reradiating it.

25-05-2005, 03:19
I'll begin supplying cheap BDRM Scout APCs to any allied nation, these are cheap Soviet light APCs, with a .50 cal machine gun mount on top and with only 40 mm armor. Cheap, but disposible, we'll have to leave these for about 10,000 years until they are safe, or ship them to the sun.
These'll be free, they can take a HEAT round without too many casualities, but with radiation levels being so high outside those towelheads outside firing RPGs will be nursing tumours the next day.

Well,
Most of our vehicles (the ones that aren't designed for radioactive combat) haven't been in MUCH radiation. So I guess that they'll be ok to take back home, won't they?
As for the enemy tanks left sitting around: The people in this country have been exposed to alot of radiation anyway, what's a little more going to hurt?
Most of our APC's have the armor kit on them designed for this type of place, though.

Whats a little more going to hurt? I've seen children born with legs longer than their entire rest of their body, feet bigger than their heads, one leg had to be amputed later for tumours. Babies born with huge heads, but no colon, stillborn. Its horrific what radiation can do. Urban areas that have been exposed to radioactive dust clouds and clock over 400 microRoetngens will be leveled and deconed with bacterial treatments.
Anything over 400 microRoetngens I want you to dump, I don't want soldiers coming home sterile or giving their kids horrible herditary diseases.

I suggest we just destroy our current vehicles that were in radiation. I'll replace all the APCs, Tanks, and other stuff that had to be destroyed. This way we can ensure that no one will bring back radiation to their country.
Ok then, maybe it can do more.
Why don't we just carpet bomb the ruins (yet again), put a few tons of concrete down, then we can put a bio layer down, and build on that.
That could seriously be a possibility for some areas, y'know?

Well the idea behind the armor is that it's disposable, and it keeps the vehicles themselves at under 200 microroetngens.
I'll gladly take you up on replacing some of the original APC's though, the ones without the armor.

The plan is anything clocking too high will be leveled with some jury-rigged remote controlled bulldozers and bombs. We'll sweep that away to get to the dirt and then biolayer it down. There is no other way. Radiation will be absorbed into the concrete and we'll have dead babies in a few years.
Well I'm not to big on radiation, anyhow. I'll just keep all my vehicles uparmored enough to protect them. With a steady rotation and enough armor we'll be ok.

My number is a little high, it should be closer to 5,000.
But that counts three landings/rescue operations in Saharistan before the war ended, counter terror operations, and a bloody battle in the capital city of the nation the insurgents invaded.
Attention all Coalition members, a massive terrorist bomb just erupted just outside of downtown, killing at least 300 civilians. We are cirrently trying to put out fires and help the injured. The bomb leveled a whole city block. here are some pictures.

Well, in current news, every Federation vehicle in the area has our version of "anti radiation gear" attached.
Our Steath Destroyer has also recovered 71 foreign fighters trying to enter the bay.

McKagan, its not a virus, its a bacterium, it is sort of a suicide mission, it takes heavy metals and irradiated materials and puts them in its own cell wall. I've done extensive reworking of non-coding DNA to make hundreds of redundancies. It took decades but finally if one part of the DNA mutates (it is bound to happen in all that radiation) beyond working order the rest of the non-coding DNA from an extremophile will repair it quickly. It is a work of art.
I will begin shipping BDRM Scouts to the area via frieghters. So far our area is relatively quiet, mostly 'cause it was bombed to kingdom come, but radiation cleaning is going on very well. We've put up some cheap Tesla Reactors, and are working on building an oil powered one later on. Right now most of the buildings are temporary barracks. I'm rebuilding the roads I leveled too. Public Support is rather high in my country as the populace trusts in High Father and we are rather compassionate. Thank God our economy has been so strong lately, we are able to support this war and rebuilding better than I thought we would.

Damn straight.
Chinese is a tonal language. Depending on how your voice goes a set number of sounds you can make many different words. Ma can mean, horse, mother, hemp, scold, and a few other things. It all depends on the tone of your voice or the accent of your voice. Each variation on Chinese is a different dialect. Like Brits "Skin a fat one" = "Roll up a joint", but in Chinese its a bit more extreme, how you pronounce the words changes entirely. You can be from Guangzhou (Canton) and speak to someone in Beijing (Peking) and you have no idea what the other guy is saying. The popular Cantonese last name Ng is pronounced (ing in English) written as (eng) and pronounced in Mandarin (Major dialect, one I speak) as Wu (3rd tone). I've heard the Cantonese speak and it sounds like beating a cat with a sore throat. But they say my Mandarin is soft and lacks emphasis.

We are looking for volunteers to inhabit this new city we are building, it can serve about 200 people at the moment, and only 47 people from our contingent of survivors volunteered to. Anyone got more people who wish to inhabit the new city. It only clocks about 50-60 microRoetngens.
In our areas we have the roads workable for APC's, it's not like anyone had cars even before I carpet bombed this place.
We have some living space going up in the areas with the lowest radiation zones, we've moved about 150 people into an apartment complex.
In other news, we've sent in more tents to actually get everyone a semi-dry enviroment.

I've got people over here than can feel it up, easily.
The people here didn't even have standard tents until today, they were using whatever they could find. If you have a roof to put over their head, they'll take it.

We've accepted 135 new survivors and are distributing ration stamps. We are working on getting more of our people to get to the farms we've decontanminated. So far most of them are occupied but some biosludge is reaching end of its cycle so we'll have room for about 16 more families. The newest water treatment plant is near completion and we are setting up a downtown shopping district. National Food Suppliers have set up a Wall-to-Wall mart in the area, and Song Motors has set up a car dealership, does any other industries wish to set up shop here?
I've got a Leiutenant that knows of a dude that's been talking to soldiers in the 27th TacWing that says he had a business of selling survival stuff. IE, Flashlights, batteries, you know the thing.
He managed to move most of his stuff after we hit the airport, he deserves a small shop (and to be out of our hair over here :p )
We also have a group that wanted to run a newspaper under the old government but they were silenced. That might be worth looking into, as well.

We've got 6 general purpose storefronts that we will rent, they can pay us back after 5 years.
Down here we're working on setting up living spaces, but due to the heavy damage to the terrain itself (our fighters hit this after the nukes and both carpet bombings.)
We're currently housing 200 people, but that's about it until the biosludge works it's way out.
We've got our own car dealership, and the newspaper dudes decided not to move as far away from their "home."
I've also saw a riverboat dealer open up, he's also selling some fishing boats and he's laid claim to one cargo ship that washed up on the beach. We've just got to get it off.

From the ANNN (Ackerenian National News Network):
Reporter: News today as the troubles in Saharistan were at a relative low. As bloodshed continues throughout the country, much of the Coalition effort is diverted to getting rid of the massively over-radiated zones. Ackerenian legislation and Prime Minister Azrael Ackeren have both commented on Ackerenian presence in Saharistan.
Azrael Ackeren: ....which is why we firmly believe that our troops will be pulled out. The Coalition has plenty of the situation under control, and Ackerenia will continue with more monetary support. This desicion only comes after new weaponry and a small navy were purchased for Ackerenia. Should our troops be needed however, we will undoubtably give military support.
Reporter: In other news...
I don't blame anyone for wanting to get their troops out of here. Although the security they provided will be missed, it makes the risk of radiation exposure lower and makes it easier for our units to move around.
It's also better that you do it now, rather than waiting and having critical positions open up.

The Senate of Tannenmille is to meet today regarding Tannenmillian military. Sozialistpartei Tannenmille called for Aven to initiate this Senate meeting, an act that can only be declared by the Reichsführer himself. As Reichsführer Tannen is currently personally overseeing the Reconstruction of Saharistan in Sol, he will be joining the Senate meeting via Holo-Net. If the majority favours the Sozialistpartei, it is believed that most, if not all, troops will be recalled to Sucello.
Y'know, with the troops numbers in this theatre dropping so much, i'm starting to fear that an insurgent uprising could turn extremly ugly, extremly quick.

I'd suggest not bringing any new blood in, though.
I'm flooding the area with every engineer I have available once all the radiation is gone.
The Army Engineering Corps doesn't have radiation armor on their APC's, and it's hard to intregate engineers (in many numbers) into frontline combat batallions.

There's no way the Senate would allow Aven to bring in any more troops to Sol. We've got about 200,000 (100,000 in Pine Orchard that will definitely be recalled) in Sol alone, and nobody is asking for more. And once stability begins returning, we'll start trickling soldiers out, but for now they're staying.

Re: ATTN! Possible Saharistani Resurgency
The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia has discovered some disturbing similarities (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=421790&page=1&pp=15) between the nation of Zahrain (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Zahrain) and the former al Zaraqwi regime of Saharistan. We highly advise all coalition nations to be wary of Zahrain, as they have been sold at least 150 to 200 nuclear-tipped warheads by unsuspecting nations. Halberdgardian miltary forces remain on DEFCON 2 alert pending further investigation into this matter.

SITREP--Halberdgardian-Occupied Areas of Baghdad (HOAB) & Halberdgardian-Occupied Areas of Saharistan (HOAS)
In HOAB, Halberdgardian Army Engineers have completed most major reconstruction projects at Baghdad International Airport, having cleared the third and final runway of debris and having re-paved it with fresh asphalt. Additionally, the main terminal buildings, control towers, and the main hangar complexes have been completely rebuilt. Therefore, pending approval from other coalition nations, and a SITREP from Leafanistan on the decontamination progress, we are pleased to announce that Baghdad International Airport is now open for international and domestic flights.
In HOAS, decontamination progress is proceeding smoothly, with 1,000 Saharistani families having returned to the renewed lands to begin reconstruction. Most are involved in agriculture, but an increasing number of families are heading to the rebuilt cities. In terms of infrastructure, HOAS is about 80% up to pre-war capacity; most rural areas are still using wells for their water supplies (it has been tested to make sure it has been decontaminated, of course), and Halberdgardian-supplied septic tanks. Running electricity to far-flung rural areas is proving to be a problem, however, and so most families in the rural areas are without electricity. The suburban and urban areas are essentially back up to pre-war levels, as it is far easier to create a centralized sewer and water pipe system, as well as power lines, there. All in all, the reconstruction project is on-schedule, slightly under-budget, and progressing well. We have plans to bring in a large group of Saharistani refugees, numbering approximately 150,000, shortly.
OOC: For those of you who saw Ackerenia's map, what do we do about the DMZ?
To all allies, in defence of our countries, i will be distributing SS-27 ICMB's for 15 million per 50. Due to agreements, they are only Single warhead, and are Russia's newest ICBM, entering service in 1999. Here is info-
The single-warhead RT-2UTTH Topol-M is an advanced version of the silo-based and mobile Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The SS-25 Topol is generally similar to the American Minuteman-2, while the more sophisticated SS-27 Topol-M is comparable to the American Minuteman-3. The Topol-M is 22.7 meters (75 feet) long and has a diameter of 1.95 meters (6 feet 3 inches). The missile weighs 47.2 metric tons and has a range of 11,000 kilometers (6,900 miles). The solid-propellant three-stage Topol-M missile complex, with a standardized (silo and mobile) missile, is to become the foundation of the Russian strategic nuclear forces in the 21st century. It is planned to accommodate Topol-M both on self-propelled launchers as well as in silos. High survivability of the mobile complex is achieved by the capability of offroad movement, of a continuous change in location and of a missile launch from any point along the movement route.
I hope you like this offer.

Although we have no plans to use them offensively, instead fearing a nuclear assault from Saharistan-like nations and other unsavory powers we may come into conflict with, The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia wishes to purchase the following:
Five hundred (500) Minuteman-3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (if available; we will also pay extra for this preference if required)
Forty-eight (48) Trident II D-5 Fleet Ballistic Missiles (see above parentheses)
from Willink, for a total of $164,400,000 (assuming prices for these warheads are the same as for the Russian ones). The money has been wired to your account, and we have transports ready to help you deliver the missiles to launch sites and silos in Halberdgardia.
Port stanley's international airport is also open, and we should leave the DM zone for civilians until the country is reunited. In other news, the first Willink nuclear powered SLBM sub has been launched, A russian Delta 5 class sub, named WNF-Springer(here is a pic (http://warfare.ru/?linkid=1767&catid=304&image=113))

Operational depth: 320 meters (design)
400 meters (maximum depth)
Electronics: "Omnibus-BDRM" controls all combat activities, processing data and commanding the torpedo and missile-torpedo weapons. The "Shlyuz" navigation system provides for the improved accuracy of the missiles and is capable of stellar navigation at periscope depths. The navigational system also employs two floating antenna buoys to receive radio-messages, target destination data and satellite navigation signals at great depth. The submarine is also equipped with the "Skat- VDRM" hydroacoustic system.
The Delta IV submarines employs the D- 9RM launch system and carries 16 R-29RM liquid-fueled missiles which carry four multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles.Unlike previous modifications, the Delta IV submarine is able to fire missiles in any direction from a constant course in a circular sector. The underwater firing of the ballistic missiles can be conducted at a depth of 55 meters while cruising at a speed of 6-7 knots. All the missiles can be fired in a single salvo.
The 667BDRM Dolphin submarines are equipped with the TRV-671 RTM missile-torpedo system that has four torpedo tubes with a calibre of 533 mm. Unlike the Delta III, it is capable of using all types of torpedos, antisubmarine torpedo-missiles and antihydroacoustic devices. The battle management system "Omnibus-BDRM" controls all combat activities, processing data and commanding the torpedo and missile-torpedo weapons.

Here is info on the SLBM it has, The SS-N23 Skiff
R-29RM Ballistic Missile of D-9RM System
Designed to destroy strategic targets at intercontinental ranges. Adopted for service with the Navy in 1986. Installed on the project 667BDRM strategic missile-carrying submarines having a basic load of 16 missiles.
The missile comprises a number of new technical solutions:
three-stage design of the missile having minimum sizes;
use of high-accuracy astro-inertial control system, and use of radio correction via radio navigational satellites “Uragan” substantially increased the firing accuracy;
use of various types of flight trajectories at short and intermediate firing ranges;
flexible (refer to energy consuming) zone of dispensing of reentry vehicles;
expansion of combat capabilities of missiles due to the possibility of their use in the high latitudes of Arctic.
Main liquid-propellant engines of two stages are “submerged” in the fuel tanks of the missile. A salient feature of the missile is the integration of the 3rd stage and the warhead into a single unit with common tanks. The front section of the missile houses an instrument section with a missile control system, which includes: equipment for the astro-correction of flight trajectory according to the results of measurement of navigation star coordinates, radio-correction system exchanging information with navigational satellites, and reentry vehicles.

The US military just used a few of these to take out low orbit satellite and shoot down some old tactical nuclear ballistic missiles in a trial out in White Sands. They just gave the plans to Israel to thelp them protect themselves. So far it takes about a 30 second exposure with a standard burst to fully destroy a missile's circuitry.

Of course, to increase effectiveness you need to increase power. Of course the current system of 2 refracting surfaces won't work. We have to upgrade to a compound refractors so the turret does not explode with the strength of the microwave LASER. I have a few of those operational. I'll send techs over for $10 million per year to develop it.

Agreed. How many years will it take?
The Republic has an interesting situation.
We are MORE than capable of building delivery systems, and we already have a fleet of 4 highly advanced subs (The RMV Axl Rose is parked in the bay, hehe) all capable of launching nuclear weapons. We also have up around 200 ICMB's with high yeilds.
However, we're moving toward a "nukes are evil" trend, especially in public opinion. The GSRN footage of some of the stuff out of this country have done alot of people in, and our next batch of 20 may not even be allowed to be completed.
That said, they also saw what happened to Willink, and what his forced responce was.
I believe a 500 missile purchase would work quite well.
I already have the russina SV-500 Anti ICBM system, which fires a high capacity missile with a range of 1,500 KM, it can also shoot down low flying satilites and Spy planes. Anyhow is anyone else interested in war games ?
Right now my researchers are working on a newly develpoed fuel source from sand in our desert. Anyone interested, see me.

the question is: will the occupying coalition eventually collapse, and fighting amongst them begin?

OOC: That would be an interesting RP...but none of us are terribly eager to get into another war anytime soon. We're breaking our budgets over a number of things right now: paying for the war in Saharistan, paying for the assistance many of us provided in the fight against the Pine Orchard insurgency, funding the reconstruction of Saharistan, Willink, and other countries affected by WMDs in the Saharistan War, not to mention all the spending we've been doing to upgrade our militaries...it all adds up to be quite expensive. Plus, a lot of the coalition members have formed alliances with one another, as our nations have become a lot closer following the war. So I don't think a war is likely. But I have to give you credit: it is an interesting idea.

I'm not sure (not looked at all the numbers) but I think that the McKagan Republic has the best economy of all the coalition members.
This war has actually helped business all together in my country. Combatant Operations has made a killing and opened up alot of new facilities, as have many other businesses.
We've finally recovered from the Aftermath of the War... Damn leader of their's.
Your country didn't take any damage from the war, it was just a 5 minute drive through.
And if you did, it's your fault.
I was just stating a fact, I didn't ask for a blatenly smart fact. >_>
Dudes and possible dudettes,
You're going to love this. The Republic has started production on our first MAJOR battleship. The Raptor Class "Tactical Carrier" is going to be one of the most feared battleships/carriers on the oceans today.
10 nuclear reactors, over 400 missiles of various kinds, semi-automated anti sub torpedo's, and it carries 34 fixed wing aircraft and up to 10 helicopters.
It's supposed to operate alone against the war on terror and insurgency. The primary principal being that insurgents/terrorists won't have the ability to launch a large scale air/ground/underwater attack on a major target. If operating in a conventional theatre it will have a standard carrier battle fleet.
It has one of the most advanced fire units on any vessel, ever.
In a surprise turn of events, Captain Daniel Larson (formerly of Stryker) has been transferred to command this vessel once it launches.
The planned name is RMV Robyn.
Pff... I'll outbid you on this.
How.... i'm the one making the ship....
EDIT: Also, looking at your economy, it would be quite difficult for you to support a ship like this.
...Wrong Context...
It's not going to be my economy that pays for it all, the other two countries in my region will give it all for their founder.
Neither of those two countries have economies much better than yours...
Seriously dude, super carriers are a little outta your league at the moment.
Just be pro business and in a matter of RL days it could be in reach though.

Your Raptor-class vessel intrigues us, as we could us some more large vessels to support our current naval forces. If possible, we would appreciate your sending us some specifications on this vessel (telegram is preferred). We may end up buying production rights from you if we like it enough.

Compound Refracting Microwave LASER turrets can reach around low orbit and take about 3-5 seconds to fully burn out a missile's systems. Also we are working on a Microwave tank, and the turret can be used on ground targets. One thing, there are 13 different frequencies on that Microwave turret, all the way from water (kill biological targets) to concrete (anti-building use) to titanium (anti-armor use).
We can complete a full defense system along with protected power plants in about 10 years with your full cooperation.
In other news, we are developing our first home built dreadnaught, expect it to begin being sold soon.
So far we've cleared our whole sector, radiation is very low now, only about 350 microRoetngens on average. We are almost done building the remaining Tesla Reactors and the water plants are done. Apartment buildigns are mostly done and we've completed a downtown area. My soldiers are complaining about being used as common laborers.
OOC: Also about the RP following this, I've had urges to seize parts of Saharistan for permanent colonization and expansion. Lets do something like that. Contact me on AIM (EST remember): Verdafolio.

Of course, we'd have to split up the DMZ as well, but I'm game, especially as the al-Mahmoud oil refinery complex, which is the main oil refinery that produces a large percentage of the country's oil supplies, falls within Halberdgardia-occupied territory.

thanks for thinking so.
On topic: i understand your situation. anyway, i would like to donate 2 billion crowns (my country's currency) as humanitarian aid for the reconstruction of housing, roads, schools, and government offices in the nation's new capital. oh, and also the capital's largest library. and if it's okay, i would like to be the overseer of this reconstruction, i just don't like getting through all the red tape and wasting precious money. this would be a temporary thing though. in the future, aeibeirians would also like to invest in saharistan, hopefully in the food business.
in exchange for all these, i only ask that the coalition to protect from insurgents the small contingent (about 250 personnel, headed by my daughter Istana) that i will be sending as soon as this proposal is approved. please treat them with utmost care. thanks!

You know what... me too. I didn't want to say anything, though.
We can use it as a buffer zone for the people in this little coalition, and since the person that plays the country isn't around.... say hello to "Camp Saharistan"
I believe i'm going to have a new RMMC base in the theatre.
How the hell did tannemill spend more than me ? i was against saharistan since the biginnig of the Leafanistan-Saharistan war and deployed the most army and air units, not counting the millions of dollars it costs to fire 200 Nukes. Along with the navy forces in the area, I estimate that ive had much more than that, anyhow, your economy does not determine your Spending on the war. I got on so late because went shopping for 3 hours. Bought half-life; the one that comes with all the expansion packs, and it DIDNT WORK !
I'm in the process of boosting my number of nukes to 350!
If another one of these groups lashes out again and fires nukes at one of my allies, my nuclear subs (that WILL be in theatre) will level that country QUICK!

I do believe it's settled, then. Saharistan is now to be permanently divided between the coalition powers. I'll contact Ackerenia, see if he can draw up a new map of Saharistan that shows the splitting up of the DMZ between the countries. If at all possible, I'd like to have a port for my forces to use, as well as a small land corridor from there stretching to current Halberdgardian territory (whatever that might be after the map is re-drawn, no pun intended). Not to sound greedy or anything, but can I have Baghdad? It is closest to my territory, and thus would be a natural extension of Halberdgardian claims. Alternatively, we could have a set-up like post-WWII Berlin, wherein the city was wholly within Soviet territory, but the other Allies maintained their claims to it. Another option would be to declare Berlin an international city, like RL Jerusalem. But if the other coalition powers have no objections, I'd like to claim Baghdad.

Official Statement From Holy Emperor Armand I
"Today the government of Armandian Cheese has decided to offer the coalition of nations occupying Saharistan a deal. For long have they struggled to free a land opressed by a homicidal dictator willing to utilize weapons of mass destruction against his own people. They have sacrificed much, and the international community must step up and ease the burden they carry in reconstructing after this brutal war. Therefore, I have decided that eighty billion Supreme Armands (0.25 USD=1 Supreme Armandian) will be poured into the reconstruction of Saharistan. However, in order to make sure this money does not fall into the wrong hands, our nation requires that a small contingent of about 2,000 Armandian peacekeepers (accompanied by about 6,000 support personell) be allowed to deploy into Saharistan. Of course, none of this is mandatory. But to gain the money, you must allow the troops...That is all, and good night my mini---err, my fellow citizens."
OOC: I apologize if my meddling bothers you, but this RP seems like a good opportunity to achieve my various purposes...

Roughly the same here. We also plan on bringing Halberdgardia culture and such to our regions of Saharistan, much like the 19th-century imperialist powers did in their colonies. But our occupied regions will likely be mainly used for military purposes. An FOB, if you will.
Yup, but I believe we should all get a stake in the port city.
That way I can operate my strategic attack sub, "RMV November Rain" without having to worry about if some "jihad dude" is in the country i'm pulling into.

I agree with McKagan, we all ought to get port cities of our own, or perhaps a share in Port Stanley, or another port somewhere. Other than that, though, I think this works great. I notice that Baghdad falls within Halberdgardian territory. Thanks again.
Halberdgardia,
Looking at the map, you're the only one without an actual port city.
Since we are official allies, i'll let you have a city on the northern coast somewhere.

Much appreciated, McKagan. We'll establish our port in the small cove up near the northern border (see where the "bird's beak" formation is? Inside the beak, in that natural cove, is where I'm talking about).
That's what I was thinking of.
Our naval forces can share the simple area, although we'll stay out of your way.
