NationStates Jolt Archive

OOC: If you follow my threads this may get confusing so I am going to clarify some things. Recently I have been holding elections for President of my nation, and it had come down to Nickolai Arterski and Amras Mithrandir. Arterski had been making comments about taking down certain governments (i.e. The Parthians and Borman Empire) and was causing a lot of international pressure on Nellisland. So the King decided to rig the election so Amras would win, thus saving Nellisland. After the results were announced, Arterski claimed fraud but eventually gave up and disappeared. This is two months later and no one has seen hide or hair of him since. I never RPed any of this except the part about Arterski making comments and Nellisland getting heat from it, but I just got down writing a long post about what was going to happen and my computer froze up and I lost it all. I decided I would rather not write it all again and just fast forward to the next stage of my plan. Thank you and please join in and do something because this is going get interesting.

This is Nellisland National News Update:

"Good evening ladies and gentleman. I am Jonathon Ashcroft with a breaking NNN broadcast. It was announced today that King Andrew Nellis I, son of the late King William II and present King, fell victim to a massive heart attack sometime last night. He was found unconscious this morning at eight o'clock when he did not arrive for his cabinet meeting. King Andrew was rushed to a private hospital, and died soon after. The official time of death was nine twenty-four p.m. He was forty two.

Doctor Gill Yemen was the surgeon who operated on the King. He was quoted as saying:"

"I did everything I could. It had been too long since the attack for us to save him. This is a grave loss, and I wish I could have done more."

"King Nellis will be remembered for his massive changes to the governmental system of Nellisland. Andrew, along side his father, created the Council of Forza in order to give the people more say and, after his coronation, Andrew also created the post of President, relinquishing many of his powers to a popularly elected official.

Under his rule, unemployment fell down to four point three percent, and the economy boomed. An approval rating of seventy-five percent proves that King Andrew was one of the most loved King's Nellisland history.

We have received no official response from the Council of Forza or President Mithrandir, but we expect to sometime soon.

But the question now become who succeed King Andrew's thrown. I am joined now by chief biographer of the Nellisland Royal Blood Line, Lauren Golk. It is good to have you with us Lauren."

"I wish I could say the same. This is one of those jobs I wish I wasn't doing."

"I understand. So what can you tell us, who is the heir?"

"Well. King Andrew has one son, Michael, who currently attends college at the University of Togo. He is the natural heir to the Nellisland throne. The only problem is his age, it may perhaps be better for the government to find an older relative. But I wouldn't be able to speak much on that. Sorry."

"That is okay Lauren, thank you."

"Thank you."

"Once again, King Andrew has suffered a massive heart attack and died early this morning. It is predicted that the government will announce his son Michael's position to King. This is tragic day in Nellisland history and we should pray for his family and the safety of the government. For NNN I am Jonathon Ashcroft. Thank you."

The Office of President Amras Mithrandir:

"What do you mean it wasn't a heart attack!?" Yelled newly elected President Amras Mithrandir at the medical team standing in front of him.

Doctor Gill Yemen handed Amras an autopsy report showing high levels of unidentified substances. "Well, sort of. He did have a heart attack but we do not know why. He was healthy as an ox. We recovered an odd substance when we preformed the autopsy, and we think it was some sort of heart attack inducing drug. We are running more samples of it now, but I am positive this was an unnatural attack."

"Are you implying that someone assassinated the King. But why?"

"Let me finish what I have to tell you first. We searched his room and found traces of the same substance at the bottom of a glass in the King's room. He has poured himself some Vodka last night, and whatever did him in was placed inside of his drink."

Amras began to feel uneasy, could his life be in danger too. "In his drink? How could someone get into here and put something into his drink?"

"We also found this."

Gill handed him a medallion known all to well for a Nellisland history buff.

Upon realizing what this meant, Amras threw down the medallion and said, "They...but how..."

"I don't know, but I think we have a lot of problems."

"Shit. My first week on the job and I have to deal with this!" Amras calmed himself down, picked up the phone and said, "Jill, this is Amras. Yeah long time no talk too. I want you to come to my office and tell me everything you know about the Craindre Etats Unis.

OOC: This is why I stopped doing Nationstates because do not post on my threads.

OOC: I also have that problem. I recommend instead of bumping add to the story in another post. It might attract people if they see more of what is going on. Just my two cents to this thread...

Jill Stewart put down the phone and grabbed all the notes she had on the Craindre Etats Unis. Jill was considered the expert on everything having to do with the C.E.U.

"But why would Amras need to know about them? Could it be connected to the President's death?"

She jumped into her car and made her way to the newly built "Presidential Palace." It was her first visit. Security personal escorted her to Amras' office.

Amras rose and shook her hand saying, "Hello Jill. It is great to see you, but I wish it could be under better terms. This is Doctor Gill Yemen. He will be listening to our conversation."

Jill instantly recognized Yemen from the broadcast, but decided that Amras would tell her what was going on when the time was right. She shook both men's hands and said, "Yes. It is good to see you as well, but why do you want to know about the Craindre Etats Unis."

"Well first, can you identify this?" Amras handed her the medallion.

"Wow. This is the official seal of the Craindre Etats Unis, extraordinary. Way back when the assassins of the CEU would place this near the crime scene so everyone would know it was their work. Where did you get it?"

Gill took the medallion back and said, "It was recovered from the King's chambers after he was found dead. We believe he was assassinated. That is why I want you to tell me about this group. Everything you know."

"Alright," she responded nervously, "In the year 524 A.A. (OOC: Time in my nation is relative to when the Republic was created. A.A. stands for "After Aliados. It is currently considered 1523 A.A.) King Robert IV created a secret society thats primary job was to route out political dissidents. The members consisted of lowly soldiers, and were vaulted to the top of the social ladder. Thousands died by their hands because they disagreed with the Kingdom. It was a terrible time to live in Nellisland."

"I follow that so far, and then King Rufus disbanded them in 621 A.A., correct?"

"That is what is popularly believed; however, records that I uncovered three years ago from King Rufus' private library suggests that the Craindre Etats Unis became quite rich and powerful. Their members reached high into the King's cabinet, and rose to the hundreds. They planned a coup on the Kingdom in order to establish a new order, but someone defected and told the King. He ordered an attack on the group and whipped out all of them, at least that’s what the records say."

"But why would they turn on those who gave them power?"

"Power corrupts. You can see that almost anywhere."

Gill took a look at the medallion and asked, "Tell us about their traditions. You said something about this medallion."

"Not much is known about any of their rituals. The record I found said that all of their papers were destroyed during the attack, so that no one would know anything about them. Those medallions were crafted by the member who left it as training before they killed. It was supposed to make them strong. I also know that they never used their real names with each other."

Amras looked to Gill and said, "So the Craindre Etats Unis murdered the King."

Gill nodded, but Jill wasn't in agreement.

"No. There is no way. Like I told you, no records, nobody left alive."

"Those records could be wrong, or this group could be fake but either way we need to investi..."

The President's aide, Charles, ran into the room and said, "Sir! I think you should turn on the TV!"

OOC: Okay, I have a nation called Craindre Etats Unis and I will RP anything concerning them from that account. I would like it if nations would back Nellisland and the Craindre Etats Unis. Thank you.

The Previous Night; Approximately 9:00 P.M.

The King's Summer home was rather quiet on this night. King Andrew had decided to spend a quiet evening alone with a good book, but he knew he was never really alone. There was always a flock of Security Personal to watch him like a hawk. Yet tonight, the King felt a bit better. He had given some of the veterans a night off and was hoping to trick the new guys.

He tricked them into thinking he was going to the bathroom and wanted privacy, but instead he moved out the window, and climbed to the third floor. From there he quietly snuck into the attic, where he enjoyed three good hours of quiet reading alone. Andrew thought it was pretty funny, but while the Agents scrambled, a threat was infiltrating his humble home.

About ten miles from the home, a black fan pulled over to the side of the road.

Three men in black outfits and black ski masks came out.

The first was a tall and lanky, the second was a little shorter but much broader in the shoulders, and the third was about the same height as the second but real fit.

"You better not mess this up." Operation Snake begins tonight." Hissed Number One.

Number 2 laughed and said, "Oh believe me, I won't. Just make sure you are here when I get back. I don't want to get caught."

The third said nothing but handed him a flask with liquid it.

"Do you have the medallion? Asked Number One.

"I do."

"Then go. We will be here, but if we hear trouble we will leave. Good luck."

Number two checked the ammo in his 9mm pistol, and ran towards the house. The closer he got the stealthier he became. He had trained ten long years for this moment.

"I will make my father proud." He thought.

'Two' quietly evaded the Agents as he made his way into the house. He found the King's bottle of Vodka.

"Too easy. It'll never be this easy again I suppose." He put the containments of the flask into the vodka when he heard the sound of footsteps.

The King appeared in the room, "This has been a fun vacation. I better change and go present myself to the guards." He changed into his other clothes and left the room.

'Two' breathed a sigh of relief as he jumped outside the window and returned to the van.

"Good. Let’s wait for our next orders."

To: President Amras Mithrandir
From: Lord Bennet du Paris, the Secretary of Diplomacy of the Dominion

The Count is sorry to see somebody die from a heart attack, he said this after hearing the news. “Nobody has heard of dieing in battle? That’s the cool way to go out” And he continued on for the fifteen minutes. I hope your King will rest in peace. And the Count told me to send a crate of the finesse Vodka made in the Dominion to you or somebody of your government. Didn’t know why but I have to follow orders. R.I.P King Andrew Nellis.

OOC: Finally someone who posted. Would you like to be involved in some way cause no one seems to really care.

IC:

"We thank you for your sympathy, and we will find a way to use that vodka."

- President Amras Mithrandir

OOC: Up to you to get me in. All I know is it was heart attack and not foul play.

OOC: Well you could be a financer of the group. Then perhaps after this conflict you and I could go to war. A bit of fun perhaps. You could just RP that giving funds and weapons and such.

OOC: Don’t have a reason to kill your King. Arterski is another story. I just wanted to post to make sure you knew other people will post. And I like sending things to people. Weird thing, like alcohol for somebody that’s King just die.

This video recording was sent to President Amras Mithrandir:

Three men stood in front of the camera. One to the right, the left, and dead center. Each wore dark body suits, sky masks, and was holding Nellisland grade MX8 machine guns. These were the same three men who assassinated King Andrew.

The room was rather old, appears to have been made almost fifty years ago. A window in the back was the only visible way of finding their location.

The man who had been entitled number one stood dead center, looked into the camera, and said, "Hello, Mr. Mithrandir. As you have undoubtly realized the untimely death of the King was no accident. It was the work of a group long since forgotten in present day Nellisland, the Craindre Etats Unis. We are only three of many working to take back what is rightfully ours. My name is Gold, and I am leader of only a small branch. There are millions of followers. The short and broad man to my right is Bronze, and to my left is Platinum. These are of course aliases. You do not need to know out real names."

Platinum stepped forward saying, "We have but one simple demand. Relinquish your control over the government of Nellisland and give it the leadership of the Craindre Etats Unis. For too long we have waited for the perfect opportunity to strike and take the reigns as rightful rulers of this nation. Now it is that time. You have twenty four hours to flee Nellisland, and give us complete control or blood will flow from the streets."

"And to show that we are serious..." Gold said with a smirk on his face. "Here is your beloved heir to the throne, Michael."

The camera zoomed out and Michael was there tied to a chair with his mouth covered. The fear in his eyes was tremendous.

Bronze reached into his coat and pulled out a 9mm pistol, placing it next to Michael's head.

"You have twenty four hours..."

BANG...Michael fell to the floor, his blood everywhere...and the tape ended.

A copy of this tape has also been sent to every major news station in Nellisland

OOC: I will RP some more of this later, but I have to do homework.

"Shit." Yelled Amras as she watched Prince Michael fall to the floor. "How could somebody kill in cold blood like that?"

Jill and Yemen both shook their heads, and looked down. It was too much for the both of them.

"What are we going to do?" Asked Jill.

"We are not giving up the government to these madmen. Jill, I want you to investigate more into the Craindre Etats Unis and find out where these men come from. You can use the full archive. Gill you continue to find out what killed the King. I am going to set up a task force to find these bastards. Go."

Both nodded and left the room.

"What a day!" Thought Amras.

Persepolis Palace

The Shah was distraught, even the presence of his two favorite concubines did little to assuage his fears. "And so, it comes to pass that anarchy shall reign in Nellisland, and with it, war shall occur, they will accuse us of destroying his life, and we will be forced into combat." The Shah looked out at the two women, blond haired Russians with blue eyes, looking at him with their drunken stares as they poured the Shah a cup of wine, filling the golden chalice with blood red wine.

As he sipped the liquid, he spoke, "Mobilize all armed forces and prepare for an attack, they will become the aggressors upon us, and we will stop them. Once their forces are destroyed, we will carry our combat to their nation and destroy their entire populace with fire and steel."

OOC: What? You have not been accused. I am confused.

OOC: What? You have not been accused. I am confused.

OOC: I think you will, so I'm mobilizing my forces for the worst. Plus with the upcoming presidential election, we are convinced war is inevitable.

OOC: Well the election is over i.e. Amras won and Arterski disappeared claiming fraud. Do you want to be involved? Cause that could be fun.
