At 6 O Clock this morning, Questarian Southern Time, His Majesty's the King, under request from Prime Minister Tovey approved himself the full mobilisation of the Questarian military forces, the Imperial Questarian Army and the Imperial Questarian Navy (colloquially known as the Royal Navy). RADAR stations and airbases along the country have been set on alert, the Inland Sea is under full military alert, as the ASW Fleet has been mobilised and is preparing to sweep the area of possible enemy submarines, and the Questarian government has asked the Izistani Navy, who borders Questers, to do the same.

Imperial Navy Taskgroups, numbering at least a thousand ships each, have put to sea or are preparing to put to sea and are currently conducting firing tests. Both Naval and Army Air Force units are on alert, especially strategic assets and maritime bombers, and patrol planes are conducted recon missions in the Omz Strait. It is rumoured that strategic assets have been given authorisation to equip wtih thermonuclear weaponry, as free fall and short range missiles are still massive parts of Questarian nuclear doctrine.

The Army has been mobilised and the reserves called up. By next week the government hopes that every citizen will have a gasmask and a helmet and by two weeks a place of shelter. For many children this comes as a relief as school has been cancelled for a month. It looks like the whole nation is gearing for war, but there is outcry from the Conservatives and Socialists, the minorities in Parliament. The Prime Minister and the King enacted their ultimate powers this morning by mobilising the military without making Parliamentary suggestions, which has angered even many MPs of the Libertarian Sovereign Party, the ruling Party. Nevertheless, the LSP holds a massive majority of over 65% in national elections and this is a typical action in Questers.

However, the Prime Minister has made no statement on the reasons of the mobilisation, with the exception of "There is a grave danger to our freedom" and various other statements. Perhaps in the following days all will be explained.

Offical Message from the Socialist Sultanate Duchydom of Franberry

The Franberrian goverment supports the mobilization of the Imperial Questarian Navy, noting that Questers has acted reasonably in the past.

Huzzah!

Union world News.

Yesterday's anouncment of a military mobilization has led to widespread concern in the goverment and population of possible hostilities in that part of the world, the prime minister has made this statment, during his state of the union address tonight.

"....as many have you learned, the anouncment of forces under the flag of Questers, mobilizing for a unknown threat. The past of this nation speaks for itself and I have the upmost confidence that this information will be given to us when they feel comfortable. Never the less we hope that this does not lead to problems in the future with its allies or unfriendly nations, and that it does not conflict with the interests of this nation, make no mistake...we are paying close attention to this situation, but, as stated before, we hold confidence to the nation's leader and will not act as a world police in this regard."

And now for sports....


SECRECT IC
Despite the PMs comments, military stations accross the nation were put on alert (secretly) and Morvonian intelligence agencies were working around the clock to determine what was infact going on.

HM the King was heard to exclaim "Huzzah!" upon hearing of a Questerian naval deployment. A shiny bauble has been sent to the King of Questers.

HM the King was heard to exclaim "Huzzah!" upon hearing of a Praetonian shiny bauble. An expensive consumer product has been sent to the King of Praetonia.

"Today Prime Minister Verta announced that the Lone Alliance 3rd fleet has been put into active status as of 10:00 Lone Alliance time. It is unknown was caused this mobilization but it is believed to be related to the mobilization of the Questor Fleet."

Statement from the Interim Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dyelli Beybi

Dyelli Beybi sees no relevance in this buildup. We will not treat it as hostile or express any 'support' in this matter. We do however feel thatsuch a phenomenal waste of money cannot possibly be being made to further peaceful ends.

-The Right Hon Brigadier Koizumi

Observing the massive Questerian naval deployment the the Ato-Saran government become concerned and set extra intelligence assets to observe Questeria. Most notably, several GeoSats are tasked to track large groups of Questerian warships.
To be ready for any eventualities the Federated Navy is put on a heightened state of alert and N-SDF crews are brought off leave to man extra patrols.

Meanwhile the Questerian Government is politely and quietly asked what is going on.

Fine wine was quickly dispatched with Questers with a note: "Huzzah!"

The Hive Spy Satellite network easily detected the mass naval mobilization of United Kingdom of Questers. The External Intelligence Agency or the (E.I.A.) began to keep tags on large active spots via satellite surveillance, all around the globe.


If the Questerian Navy made any attempt to head toward the region of Irathria. The Totalitarian Military Union of Xharn would go directly to full alert. This alert would activate the National Armed Forces and mustering orders would be issued to every major commander within the Union.

This act of nervousness was mostly just in case the Royal Navy tried to flaunt their power by colonizing more land in the name of liberation and freedom. The Union has made no official announcement about the Quester sudden naval mobilization. The government has chosen to be neutral about it for the time being…..

[[By chance, would this have to do with Chellis, Quest?]]

The Grand Field-Marshal and Goddess-Empress of the Steelian Empire, Chief Executive Officer of the Imperium Corporation Unltd., perhaps the most powerful living cyborg, was reported by some news services -- a precious few, but still some -- as saying, regarding the Questarian deployment late yesterday:

"Huzzah!"

At least one such service reported that, in addition to this, Her Most Infinitely Wise and Gracious Holiness and Imperial Highness graced the phrase, "Someone is in deep shit", with the sound of Her voice. However, this may have been a fabrication and all employees of said service have suffered the most horrific torture, on suspicion.

To: The King of Questers (sorry, don't know his name)
From: Eduard Gurashoy, president of Carbandia
Your majesty, we could not help but notice your naval movements. Could we please be informed what your intention is? Not that we are unduly concerned, as we are allies, after all.

Official Clandonian Response

The Clandonian navy wishes the Questerian navy the best of luck and wishes a swift death to the opponents of those that challenge the Sovereign League and ACTO.

We also send a crate of 1953 Clandonian Victory whiskey for His Majesty as a signal of the good relations that have been built with the Clandonian admition into the Sovereign League.

I personally wish the bestest of luck to the campaign.


President Sir Victor Hughes

~President and Supreme Command of The Heavily Armed Empire

Upon reading the Questarian press release, Emperor Paulus Whyatica giggled, and said to a waiting hand, "Send something shiny to the King of Questaria!"

A shiny object was therefore sent to the King of Questaria.

The Emperor of Cravan decided to join in the spirit of Questarian Mobilization Day, and also sent a wrapped gift to King Richard. It was a bottle of fine Cravnian whiskey, bottled in a silver bottle. Not only would it provide hours of drinking fun, it would also provide visual splendor since it was shiny. Attached to the bottle was a card which read:

To his Most Honorable King Richard,
From Emperor Matthew Craven I,
HENTAI NO BAKA

PS- Have fun with it, Dick.

It was sent immediately, to give the Questarian king the utmost of pleasure as soon as possible.

The Prime Minister of Haraki, upon reading the world reaction to the mobilization of the Questerian navy, sent a 24-pack of water bottles to the king of Questeria. Not because he approved of the action, but because with all that alcohol, he was bound to need hydration. After all, the last thing the world needs is a hung-over leader in charge of a big mobilized navy. With it was attached a note:

'Drink responsibly.'

President Kara Maddox also joined in 'Questerian Mobilization Day' by sending Most Honorable King Richard two presents, nearly opposite of each other.

One was a scale model of the HMS Hood with wine ice buckets in the funnels, complete with two wine bottles, two more wine mountings were placed where the admirals cutters were, and the VLS were wine glass holders. It was marked fragile.

The other gift was strangely morbid, a single human skull with a massive smaller cranium and a red hammer and sickle painted on it. Again it was marked fragile.


To: Most Honorable King Richard
From: President Kara Maddox

You should greatly enjoy the first package, the main guns even fire scale models of the Hood's shells. It's a bit heavy, might wanna use a stretcher or table with wheels to move it aboe

Second package is a communist that the VP bagged during an attempted assasination attemp on him, notice the greatly smaller cranium compared to regular humans.

Joining the chorus, Foreign Minister Kari Alhoun sends King Richard VI three gifts.

The first one is an advance copy of the video game "Admiral 4", acclaimed as the most realistic naval sim designed in ... uh ... like ever. You start as a lowly seaman and, through hard work and favour-mongering with officials, can rise to the level of grand admiral. Also included is the shipbuilding mod, which allows the game player to design the ships themselves.

The second gift is a large box of tea, which should be self-explanatory.

The third gift is a triptych, the most sobering gift there, showing the Czardaian fears for Questers. The first panel is a photograph of the APOC flag, with Praetonian, Doomani, Questarian etc. flags shown waving around the central banner. The second shows a massive army of soldiers and tanks under the APOC banner, marching through some unnamed land, but in their wake we see burning cities and what looks like a broken cross. The third, the dead and lifeless skeleton of a soldier still clad in some tatters of a Questarian uniform, is shown before a background of countless similar figures, broken flags, destroyed houses, burning ruins and other similarly cheerful scenes.

A note from Kari Alhoun is attached: Seemed interesting. The artist is obviously under the impression we're going to square off to a devastating war with a Gholgoth-Reich-Arda-UCN alliance or something similar, simply by founding your own alliance. You can get your news to parody it in cartoons or something, it's creating quite a stir. --K.A.

King Richard IV stirred. His bed, almost the size of an entire working class person's room, was situated in his bedroom (which was larger than an entire working class persons house) which looked out over London from Buckingham Palace, which, you guessed it, was at least the size of ten working class streets.

"Ah, Your Majesty?"

"What the buggering hell do you want? Some have the privelege of sleep you understand!"

"Your Majesty, it is one o clock in the afternoon and Her Royal Highness is waiting for you for afternoon tea."

His Majesty said nothing.

"And there are rather a large amount of gifts from abroad waiting for your inspection Your Majesty." The servant continued.

"GIFTS?" If there was something Richard liked more than whiskey and flattery it was gifts.

Half an hour later he was dressed in his finest clothes to inspect his gifts. "Dear, your tea is cold! Where have you been! You really must sort out your sleeping habits."

"Shutup woman. I was informed there would be gifts. Where are they?"

The servant nodded and in came a stream of more servants with all the gifts appropriated to the King-Emperor.

"Excellent! Oh, I think I shall open this one first. It looks like a bottle of some kind."

"You and your drink." His wife muttered. "Didn't I tell you to shut up? Now you be quiet or I shall put the gag back on you. Stupid woman."

Richard IV dropped to the floor like a child on Christmas Day and began unwrapping his presents. The first he had come to was the Clandonian whiskey.

"Oh, excellent! Truly excellent. Huzzah!" he exclaimed. The Queen was about to open her mouth when the King made a pre-emptive strike. "Don't say anything. Bloody women never learn." He put the bottle neatly on the floor next to him, admiring it for one last time, before spotting another bottle. Quickly taking it and unwrapping it, another big grin slipped across his face. Whiskey, again. His favourite. "Oh however do they know? So very kind, these people. We shall have to buy them a warship of some kind."

Next, the King found the Harakian (sp?) water bottles. He frowned slightly. "Water? What in the seven hells? Surely everyone knows I don't drink water!" For the King-Emperor did only drink orange juice and whiskey. "Well maybe now is a good time to start." the Queen said. "I never drink water, not now, not ever, never. Water is the drink of the proletariat. Honestly, I am not entirely sure why I married you. Maximus did well for himself getting an obedient one."

"You know exactly why you married me."

"Yes, yes I do." Richard smiled. He knew exactly why.

He quickly began unwrapping the large scale model from The Silver Sky and grinned in admiration. "Oh huzzah! I shall have to show this to Uncle. How incredible! I don't suppose - oh look! The props spin!"

"You and your battleships."

"Shutup woman. Infernal Communist devils."

"Oh, hah!" The King grinned at the second present. "Oh look at it! It's so small. Truly hilarious." he checked the message tag. "Aaah... Kara Maddox. She has a nice ra-"

Slap!

"Argh! What was that for!"

A Laqian model of a sickel and a hammer mounted on a plaque along with a sludgehammer was sent annomonously to the King. On top, a note

Do your worst

Illior decided to join in the celebration, but like Haraki, Ms. Kars sent a clear liquid, but unlike Haraki, this one was a bit more than Alcoholic. It was the Illiorian's version of everclear, 170 proof, and sure to leave you with a hang over the next morning. On it was a note
"Have fun, and drink this in moderation

EK"

"Your Majesty, this dispatch just arrived." A page stood before King Zachary's desk with a diplomatic telegram in hand. The king took it and read it. Apparently, his allies the Questarians had just begun a massive naval mobilization for no obvious reason. He thought about it for a moment, and then spoke to the page.

"I'm going to write King Richard a note of my own. Go get a bottle of Albertan whisky and a bottle of gourmet orange juice, and send them both to Buckingham Palace with my note." The page bowed and left the office. Meanwhile, Zachary wrote this note:

Congratulations on your decision to take matters into your own hands. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavour; however, if you find yourself in need of allied assistance, I am sure my Parliament would approve it - up to two whole fleets (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Lower_Columbia#Navy). Of course, they would need some knowledge of why this mobilization is going on and where it is headed... We'll keep in touch.

Regards,
HM King Zachary,
The Federal Kingdom of Lower Columbia

"Despite the raids, the hunt for Ehzno is still underway. Anyone with any information as to his whereabouts is urged to call the number on the bottom of the screen. In other news, we have recieved confirmation of a Questerian naval mobilization. We stress that as of yet this has not been confirmed, but the writing on the wall is that they're planning to break the communist imposed blockade of a certain Laquasa Isle. Meanwhile, the Bears mauled the Ducks five thousand and ninety-three to eleven."

RTN Television

The beautiful anchor continued in her all-too-cheerful tone(and I mean seriously, it was so cheerful it was scary):
"In other news, the nation of Questers, although having founded the very alliance that runs against our glorious and righteous ideology, has mobilized their fleet. We now turn to Ollieland Oliver for our punishment forecast."

A man appeared on screen just long enough to say:
"Someones going to get some!"

"Thank you Ollie... our glorious premier was qouted as saying the following:"

The Premier of the Socialist State of Red Tide appeared just long enough to say, "And as for the Questerian naval mobilisation I have this too say: HUZZAH!"

Quest, when are you going to attack?

These blockaders are very annoying.

The bresident was having breakfast with a few members of his cabinet when one of him informed him of the Questarian mobolization.

"Hey Ramzan, did you hear about what's going on in Questeria?"

"No I haven't Kirch, what happened?" (Kirch Russel is the Secretary of Agriculture)

"They've just recently mobilized their entire navy and army too. Seems like they're going off to war somewhere. I haven't the faintest idea who or why though."

"That's interesting" said the president disinterestedly just before putting a fork-full of scrambled eggs in his mouth.

Noting the lack of concern the Secretary of Agriculture spoke again, "You know, I've heard that many other leaders have sent gifts to the king. He's a lover of alcohol."

The president stopped eating for a moment apparently having gotten the point. "Ok why not send him a bottle of some of our Russian Vodka. Should entertain him enough." Mr. Russel went back to his meal, a small grin creeping accross his face. A minute later the president spoke again, to him,

"Uh Kirch...how the hell would you know if or who sent gifts to the King of Questeria?"

The table went silent...how the hell did I know that? Kirch though to himself.

Later that day a crystal clear bottle of Russian Vodka was sent to the Kingdom of Questers with a note: "A gift from the President of Groznyj, enjoy"

OOC: Everyone appreciates Whiskey. Oh Scotch how I love thee...

A present from the United Autonomous Colonies of Leafanistan arrived. A case of well-aged scotch. Also included was a bronze bust of the King-Emperor.

The note read: "May death come swiftly to your enemies."

A diplomatic dispatch went out to Questers:

"As your ally in the Sovereign League, we wish to inquire about the nature of this mobilization and whether we should assist you in your efforts.

Also would you like assistance in fully blockading Laquasa Isle? Our new 'Motherships' can deploy massed sea borne and air borne drones on a rotating cycle and lock down entire countries.

We've been wanting to test them for ages."

He's destroying the EVIL Fleet defending Valley of the Giants you flippin' retards.

[That was done as IC'lly as is possible.]

King Terin awoke in his bed. He was going to the Imperial Damarnan Navy dock Halsberg today, to Christen the two new ships in the Fleet, Krakan and Reinheiser. A servant entered the room.

"Sir, King Richard of Questaria has mobilized the Questarian Navy"

"At who?"

"I have no idea, sir"

"Well, send him a bottle of Damarnan Fire Whisky. Put a note on it saying 'You can count on us. And don't drink the whisky to fast, you might die'"

"Yes,sir"

Her Imperial Majsety, Empress Neherenia, sends King Richard 2,000 bottles of Hatarian Saki (or better known as rice Wine).

ooc: didn't he nuke the hell out of you Hataria? And now your sending him saki? Lol.

In keeping with the jubilant reaction, Military Governor Blak also sent a gift to the Questerian (sp?) King-Emperor.

It was a barrel of Aesonic Blood-Wine. Unlike many wines of similar names, this was to be taken literally. A fine wine, aged over centuries, and with a high enough alcohol content to kill a calf, had been dilluted into a non fatal, but still rather strong drink by being added to the blood of a bear. (Other variants include blood from goats, cows, sheep, wolves, lions, and the now outlawed human blood wine).

[Triesa, Avisron]

"Prime Minister, sir, Questers is moving everything in their armed forces."

That's how the Prime Ministers morning briefing started the day after Questers had started mobilising.

"Oh, really? That's odd. Have you seen any reason or possible targets yet?," David Wallace, the recently elected Prime Minister of the Libertarian Federation, asked.

"Um... no. We see no reason. It's Questers though, go figure."

The Prime Minister looked up from the glass of Avisronite Tea he had been looking into. "Hmm.... we're in ACTO with them... send them some tea or something. I don't know."

"Okay sir, I'll have it done. Now, onto the zombie issue..."

[After official Christening of the two Kirov Class ships Krakan and Reinheiser]

"Sir, the Questarian Navy has begun massing off the coast, what should we do?"

"Well, give the ships their first assignment. They are to, in full battle formation, cruise out of the harbour and sail for the Questarian Fleet, to see what they are doing and whether they require assistance"

"Yes,sir"

The two huge ships starting moving out of the harbour. Five hours later they could see the huge bulk of the Questarian Navy.
