Azraelonian Fascists take power in Bloodless Coup
CNN: Earlier today, the nation of Azraelonia witnessed a popular uprising that bloodlessly placed the Fascists at the top of the heirarchy of Azraelonian political and economic affairs.

Following disputed election results in last weeks General Election, mass crowd protests and collusion with sympathetic Military High Command Officers resulted in the former government resigning from office, to be replaced by the Fascists.

Known as the Azraelonian National Somersbyite Democratic People's Party, the political group announced its success in establishing itself as the government of the state of Azraelonia.

In a statement to the press today, Party Leader Jacob Trelawne Somersby announced he would take up the National Leadership as per the people's demands.

"This is a great day in the history of Azraelonia," he declared. "With our elevation to power at the people's demand, we shall now strive forth from our isolationism and progess to a stage of political, economic and cultural development seen neither before nor since."

Azraelonia is a small, island nation in the Atlantic roughly the size and shape of England. It's national religion is Azraelitism, which worships the angel Azrael as a deity, with a reasonable economy and standard of living. Economic activity comprises a large amount of Primary and Secondary industrial activities. The country has long had a policy of isolationism.

The coup occured following disputed election results last week where the fascists claimed to have achieved electoral victory over the residing National Democratic Party. The NDP disputed the claim and refused to leave office.

This prompted large public protests by ANSDPP supporters, finally resulting in sympathetic military forces surrounding the Presidential Palace and the National Congress, forcing the government to resign en masse.

We thankyou for you offer of support for the People's choice of regime in Azraelonia. However, at this time we do not have the neccesary space to house further military units. Perhaps in the future however, we may negotiate a mutually beneficial relationship between our two nations.

From: Azraelonia

Whilst we again thankyou for your support of our administration, we are understandably cautious as to foreign nations sending military units into our country so soon after our recent political disturbances. However, should you be truly interested in supporting the regime of the people, we wish to enquire as to the sale of military equipment to our nation in a bid to improve our own military.

Secret IC

We would be particularly interested in the purchase of any equipment pertaining to the development of unconventional weaponry, particularly regarding nuclear devices.

We will provide nuclear weapons. We need a port to dock at, and once you have them, we no longer have anything to do with them.

The Chancellor picked up his phone, and auto-dialed for General Hayden. Second ring he picked up.

"Yes Chancellor?"

"Did you just see on TV the-"

"Yes, i did, sir."

"Do you want to go? The Senate will aprove."

"Sure, why the hell not? My men have been craving a fight for months now. You want to send the telegram or shoud I?"

"You do it, general, i'm a busy man."

"Yes Chancellor." They hung up.

Within the hour, all the fleet was bustling with talks of foreign lands. General Hayden sat in his office and wrote his telegram.

To the Loyal Democrats

It has come to the attention of the Allied States of the Royal Code, that this new fascist regime is unfit for govorning duty. We can offer our partial military support in retaking lost ground, or complete destruction of the fascist faction. Here at sea, we have a entire army ready to be deployed. We were only just recently put at ease after tensions in this region cooled down. By your request we can assist you. We will be making way to your shores immediately.

Signed,
General Rick Hayden, Field Marshall, 1st and 2nd Royal Field Armies

He quickly scribbled his signurature and folded the small notice up. He placed it in an envelope, and handed it to a staff member. Within minutes, the Royal Mail Carriers had the message on a cessna on its way to Azraelonia.

A flight of RF-1's flying miles offshore of Azraelonia radioed in a open-channel message, "Azraelonia beach outpost, this is Royal Fighter Squadren Six-Niner, Royal Air Force. On the behalf of the Allied States of the Royal Code, our fleet wishes to enter your waters to begin unloading ground forces to assist the loyalist forces. Over."

The flight brought their speed down to 200knots, and down to 2,000ft as they waited for a response.

Nova Constans, Capital of the Empire of Materdei.
Magister of Foreign Affairs: Belisarius Brindisi's Office.



Magister Brindisi had been running on less than two hours of sleep over the past two days. One of Materdei's observer planes had been shot down over disputed terrority near one of it's eastern colonies, and Brindisi's office had been swarming with his busy staff trying to keep the situation from getting out of control. It had taken a few phone calls to arrange for it's return, but the few phone calls had cost the foreign affairs department a quite a few favors.

Magister Brindisi had been enjoying his cup of coffee and watching the CNN news with little interest as it covered the fascist uprising. There was hardly any concern since Materdei had little diplomatic relations with the relatively small country. A nation of 2.53 billion was hard to irrate, and Brindisi's office had not been briefed by the Emperor or his Imperial Senate as to any sort of reaction that needed to be staged by Materdei.

"A bloodless coup..." Brindisi muttered under his breath as he sipped coffee. "What a rarity."

Just as Brindisi was about to turn off his television, his secretary entered without knocking... and that was always a bad sign. It meant that something had to be dealt with.



Nova Constans, Capital of the Empire of Materdei.
Two hours Later: Open Press Conference by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.



Brindisi cleared his throat behind the stage and tugged at his tie to make sure it was straight. He watched his secretary from the small opening of the curtain as she briefed the press as to what the magister of foreign affairs would be addressing at such a late time at night.

When his secretary walked off stage, one of his office aids quietly cued him to walk out to the podium. The magister fixed his posture and strode out infront of the army of cameras and lights.

"On behalf of Basileus (Emperor), Theodosius Romanus Constans of the Empire of Materdei, I thank you all for gathering at such short notice. Just a few moments ago, the Imperial Senate of Materdei passed a resolution that was signed by the Holy Basileus declaring that foreign intervention with the intent to colonize or establish a sphere of influence in the unstable government of Azraelonia would be deemed as a violation of sovereignty. The Holy Empire of Materdei does not view the recent government change to be a violation of any humanitarian efforts and therefore there is no need for any foreign nations to get involved in Azraelonia's civil strife.

Materdei's private and commercial centers often use the international waters around Azraelonia and any seizure of citizens or belongings to the Empire of Materdei will be seen as a violation of Materdei's sovereignty and will be acted upon swiftly.

A delegation is being put together by Materdei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will seek to travel to Azraelonia to discuss trade and any concerns regarding humanitarian rights violations by the new government. The general press will be updated as soon as more information can be provided.

Thank you ladies and gentleman."

Thessalonica, Capital of the Province of Thessaly, Materdei.
Logothete (Governor), Leander Ducas' Office.



Senior Consul, Justinian Pella, of the Imperial Senate of Materdei sat in one of the plush leather sofas in Logothete Ducas' office. He'd spent most of his time touring the province of Thessaly while trying to raise funds for the upcoming elections. For the first time in ten years, his conservative Gardiani party was in risk of losing the majority to the liberal Populist party in the Imperial Senate and thus needed the popular Senior Consul to go on a fundraising campaign. The party's rally in Thessalonica had turned out superior in numbers, but the party members had been relatively cheap with their donations. It was a confusing mixed signal for Consul Pella.

But in the midst of all that, the Consul had been contacted by his aids back on Nova Constans that the Basileus had put together an emergency session in the Imperial Senate to pass an Imperial Decree regarding some international happenings on a distant island country.

Normally Consul Pella didn't give a damn about foreign affairs but the fact that a few seconds after his briefing over the situation on the phone, he was contacted by the Church.

It seemed Isaac Vitellius Angelus, Patriarch of Nova Constans, the father of the Materdeian Church had found a way to somehow get himself involved in the foreign situation.

He had sent missionaries. Only God knew why the Patriarch had chosen to send missionaries to a country that was under civil strife. On top of that, the country of Azraelonia weren't Christians, and the people of Azraelonia were probably the least bit interested in converting to the Materdeian Church at this time.

But a problem had already sparked. The delegation of missionaries sent by the Patriarch had been kidnapped. Now, Senior Consul Pella had the Church breathing down his back to pass a resolution in the Imperial Senate to try and send a recovery force.

Things weren't looking bright, and Consul Pella had a plane to catch. He needed to get back to Nova Constans where the Senate was probably getting together for another emergency session...

OOC: Woah - I'm sorry, but this is not a civil war and I didn't give people permission to invade my country - this is 'Open to Comments' from other nations as an introductory RP to possibly develop some diplomatic relations, I'm not looking for a fight at this time. And I certainly didn't agree to missionaries being kidnapped in my nation.

I appreciate all the attention, but I politely suggest that a few people may have jumped the gun a little here.

We thankyou for your generous offer. However, we are looking more at the idea of maintaining a deterrent of nuclear gravity bombs dropped from Air Force Bombers rather than missiles, due to the lower costs of storage, maintenance and launch-related issues.

Democratically elected fascists?

Indeed, sir.

Howard Winchester rubbed his pursed lips – as the Minister of State for International Relations he already had plenty on his docket for the week, not to mention the day. Very well, Dominic. Contact the necessary people at the Royal Intelligence Service, task a small team to this new fascist state and we shall leave our official involvement at that.

Very good, sir, thank you, sir.

Winchester watched his aide leave the small office. When the door finally clicked shut, he picked up his phone and dialed a familiar number. Thank you, Marian, I am well and yourself? Splendid, if she has a moment, I need to speak with the Foreign Secretary.

Office Statement
Foreign Office

His Majesty’s Government, although wary of the intentions of a political movement determined to unnecessarily regulate and control most facets of civilian life, recognises that the coup d’etat witnessed by the world in Azraelonia having the support of the majority of the population. Given that the United Kingdom’s qualms with the chosen system of government do not overlap with any inherent distrust or dislike of the Azraelonian people, His Majesty’s Government would be willing to enter into a diplomatic and economic relationship so as to better allow both governments and both nations a chance to come to an understanding of the other’s way of life and political systems.

The ships loaded, the soldiers careful not to make a mistake. The ship soon set out, the soldiers ready for their pay.

To: The United Kingdom of Oceania
From: The Federation of Azraelonia

We thank the United Kingdom for its interest in diplomatic and economic relations between our two countries. We wish to exchange embassies and diplomatic representatives between our two seperate states to being with. We would also like to enquire as to the possibility of a State visit by the Supreme Generalissimo so the leadership of the United Kingdom could easily discern the views of the Federation's political heirarchy for the leader of said elite.

As a short brief, we would like to point the United Kingdom's analytical staff to the document 'A Treatise concerning the Principles of Somersbyite Fascism', written by the Supreme Generalissimo and outlining the basic concepts of the Azraelonian Government.

Attn: Roderick Grammar, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Federation of Azraelonia

His Majesty’s Government welcomes the opportunity to discuss the Federation’s political hierarchy and objectives in a personal dialogue between the leaders of our two states and their respective governments. A state visit can be easily arranged, however, as Foreign Secretary I would be remiss if I failed to warn you that a self-labeled fascist government will be likely poorly received by not only the opposition parties but the majority of the Oceanian population in general.

In the interim, however, an exchange of embassies and diplomatic representatives would be most agreeable to His Majesty’s Government and that while we wait for your officials to visit our capital, Imperium, we shall endeavour to find a copy of the Supreme Generalissimo’s treatise.

We thankyou for the offer of diplomatic and economic relations once more, and wish to let you know that we would like to dispatch an Ambassadorial Staff of 25 diplomatic staff, headed by Dr. Peter Macintosh as the Federation's Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

We gratefully heed your warning regarding hostility towards our government from opposition groups; however, we feel that such exchange of ideas and cultures would best be served in a State Visit whereby our two national leaders may meet and discuss freely.

A copy of the Treatise can be found attached to this document.
