OOC: This RP is taking place on the Irathrian Continent (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=469056). Although it is unclear, I believe that the continent can only interact with those on the continent, like an Earth. Unless mentioned elsewere, only those on Irathria can enter. Sorry ya'll, but I don't want to bend the rules.
As to those in Irathria, lets have fun with this. My plan, as you will all find out, is to create a border with someone. So no one take this as a direct war declaration or anything.
IC:
On The Borderlands, a small undefined region where The Jewittist Republic, Xantias, and Koryan all share a border with Asbena just beyond the horizon, a massive project was completed. Sourland Aoure Base, a massive two city-sized military base with eight runways, four defencive eighteen inch railguns, twelve fixed Praetorian V Anti-Air Suites, and twenty fixed U-4 Uberfest Anti-Munition Defence Guns.
Enough hangers above ground to hold an entire wing (40 medium aircraft), and enough storehousing below the reinforced ground to hold five wings (200 medium aircraft).
From the surface it appeared to be an overly-defended air base, but below, it was much more.
From underneath the concrete runways were two inches of reinforced steel, something no air base would ever have. Below this steel line was a complication of missile silos. A total of two silos were placed under each runway, at the ends, where the least amount of attack from enemy strikes would occure.
The sixteen missile silos were all armed and ready for strike, holding within their warheads neutron charges, which would create an explosion the size of a cluster bomb, but enough radiation to destroy three cities; each.
The Dirty Little Secret of Tactical Command, the Strategic Irathrian Multi-Nation Air Defence Network (SIMNAD) ended there at Sourland, and it was one of twelve bases across The Jewittist Republic which as armed with the standard of sixteen neutron missiles per base. The purpose was the ability to strike any country on the continent despite the Republic's possition on defence and how far and advanced the enemy is. It also allowed the strategy to make SIMNAD unstoppable in a consistant strike, allowing at least three bases to be fully online at any time, and of which, all were unreconized as "Capital Power" Military Bases, and were refered to as "Regional" Military Bases in Jewittist records.
The list went on....
Pantallica, Oured, Vihe City, Portshire, Windsong, Raptior, Dugahh, Suffolk, Easterton, Sourland, North Point, and an underground complex deep in the Emeraldian Mountain Range.
Military forces made their way across the map, lighter divisions going into town-like bases in the mountains and larger Armals (Armies) heading into the cities and plains across the nation. Sourland was left as a small base in defence, as to avoid anyone's attention to the area, but that would change soon enough.
OOC: Xantias, I am making a map of your nation and outlining certain regions. I have named them, but they are the Jewittist Reconized Names, so they'll be different in your nation. In no way am I RPing your nation. I also hope you do not mind me RPing your possetions of resources along these regions, but hey, if you prove the victorious defender than you get all the goodies I have RPed you being capable of having.
The Jewittist Republic was formed over a matter of wars fought between three colonial powers in the minor continent of Irathria, overlooked by North America. The powers were Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Eventually the UK gave its colonies over to Germany in a peace agreement for European Affairs and Spain lost its colony to Mexicans during the revolutionary war of Mexico. Mexico then made its colony a protectorate, which eventually broke away. The Italian colony too broke apart, and as with it, did the German colony. The influences still came in with Romanian and American influences being heavy on the entire groupings of independant colonies.
Fighting wars for petti resources, the final colony that won was the Mexican break-away, Emeraldia. Its leader, Matthew Truitt, claimed it a New Age Republic, to be called Emeraldia, after the colony which claimed ultimate victory.
The mineral-rich areas of the colonies were over shadowed by a colony still under Italian control on the Portshire Peninsula, Windsong Island and Vihe Island. During a revolt against the motherland of Italy, Emeraldia invaded. Heading the invasion, Truitt was the leading general on the front lines. Dispite his high rankings, he loved the field. He failed ultimately in taking the Peninsula but the two islands fell, and the island beside the peninsula, Portshire Island, also fell within days after Truitt's death.
The leaderless nation had its only heir, the son of Truitt, a Fonzi Jewitt (Name changed from Matthew Truitt Jr., to avoid political confusion and any misunderstandings of Monarchism), took control and launched a massive campaign, using captured Portshirean (The name of the colony was Portshire) resources and remaining Emeraldian resources from along the Emeraldian Mountain Range, and eventually siezed the entire peninsula.
To stop any future threats, all those loyal to Portshire, Italy, or any state that was not Emeraldia was sent to forced labor camps to mine the more expencive resources of the nation.
Eventually they died off within two years of work on average, and the economy plummited into depression from lack of easy production of self-sufficant resources. Iron was the only resource to severely be effected by the depression, all deposits well out of range of human hands now due to cave-ins and economic pressuring. Once leaving the depression, the massive social programmes of a new style of government aroze, Jewittism.
Thus, once Portshire became a state as of 1992, The Jewittist Republic was formed from Portshire, Windsong (Two invaded nations), Dugahh (English Colony), North Point (Romanian), and the Emeraldian-Raptic Nations (A group of nations which were once under Italian and Mexican rule). The three-nation Republic has to this day fought its economy together to supply the nation, and the masses of petrolium and copper gave the nation riches next to uranium. However, one thing still lacked: Iron.
Raptior, The Jewittist Republic
The wind curled around the short government buildings of the capital city who's eyes peered onto Emerald Bay, a small bay pass which connected it to the Truitti Gulf. It met itself to a large-standing triangular building, Presence Tower, a glowing marvel where people across the world came to see its benevolent architecture. It more of a fortress than an Ifel Tower, however, with over an army's worth in ammunitions scattered about for defence of the Republic's secrets.
Below the tower, well, actually beside it, lay two streets which passed parell to the tower, which was the wedge of the two. Under each street, some many yards deep, was a massive network of underground governmental strategic rooms, in the event of the capital being over run and the leaders not being able to leave quickly or safely.
"Xantias." Said the Douvier firmly after taking a drink of his prime wine which was imported from the farms in the western nations within the Republic. Their conversation had been about war, the spreading of Jewittism, on a neighboring nation on The Borderlands, or the general region where Xantias, Asbena, and Koryan all met with The Jewittist Republic.
Spreading Jewittism. They had done it for years and had completed in the Presidente's famed "Perfect Republic," which was still incomplete, but to the public, it was perfect enough. All that remained was the unnamed eastern island of Florintine, and the majority of Xantias, which included its entire coastline and a good portion of the north western border shared with The Republic.
"We must create a border with the peaceful nation of Asbena, they have resources which can aid us, in return to our protection. We cannot protect them without a border." Resoned General Cooke as she supported the Douvier's action against Xantias. The Presidente, alone in his argument for peace, pressured on. "Why attack? Why not solve this diplomatically?" Of course that was not the reputation he had made in the past with his mass murders and killings of those not supporting Jewittism.
"Will they take the olive branch over the arrows if they were given a chance of victory? Reclaiming our promise land in Xantias will prove to be a massive boost in our economy, since, for starters, it has enough iron to supply our entire army for years and rebuild our slowly increasing infrastructure." Finalized the Sectur, a usual pacifist and left-winged member of the Controlees, yet took the possition of war for the aid of the Republic's own people.
War was eminent, and with the defences armed for total destruction if nuclear war was the answer to its enemies, the Jewittist Republic was prepared.
Admediately after the meeting, two Armals, previously possitioned far into the Emeraldian Mountains, deployed and moved slowly, yet undefiningly into Sourland, the region which was a strip of land that bordered on the north Koryan and on the south Xantias, the newly unreconized enemy of The Jewittist Republic, a possition no nation on the continent of Irathria would want to be in.
The map was drawn out quickly and tierlessly by scalemen deep within Presence Tower. The Jewittist-named regions were labeled and as definate as possible were marked for borderlands of the regions. These were not provinces of Xantias, but reconized regions that belonged to The Jewittist Republic.

Generalissimo Amy Cooke, the lead general of the Republic's Armal (Army), was set in command. She had ordered a long range borderwar set up of arms. Iskra Light Battle Tanks to be complimented with heavier Mekhev Main Battle Tanks in lesser numbers. Numberous field artillery and anti-air suites, along with anti-ordanance systems plagueing the enemy's ability to strike the admediate Armal.
Air support was centrally located at Sourland Aoure Base, which also would act as the leading supply station and logistical support area for the war effort as the Jewittists would push into Xantias.
Their goal was not to capture Xantias, but the resourceful regions on the western borders and the precious coastlines which would play a powerful place in private merchant competition with each other and with Florintinean ships across the Irathrian Gulf.
Operation: Fade to Black was about to begin...the war for Xantias.
No declaration was made, no shooting, no hostile attentions. To the generals and politicans, Xantias was the enemy until those rich regions were captured. To the public of the world and the Republic, Xantias was just a neighbor to the Jewittists.
With the region in the new continent under control by Xantian militaries. Many of the people in the area had already been captured and sent to the eastern front for converstion. Xantias had reason to believe that war would come. War followed them like a plague that consumed all logic and sanity. the Mainland of Xantias had alread begun to set up military power in the area, to ensure control stayed with Xantias. The Xantian necro-military forces had already set up 5 military bases of good size. First one called the Necro-valley which was the largest of them all. And located in a deep valley, which is why it was named as such. Thier some of the worst inhuman thing happened. Those who would not convert willingly where taking to see the Ncropriest. There they would receive the mark of the necromonger. A mark that would hold to thier very being and force them to see the Underverse. After doing so they would give thier complete allaigance to the Necromonger. Children, women, men all alike where touched and saw the Underverse. Some died from the sight, others gained new found power and brutaility. Soon almost everyone wore the dark armor of the necromonger.
Alos new weapons where being developed to later be used agianst others...New weapons that harnessed the power of the Underverse.
