Today early in the morning, the Kayikistanian air-force bombed the Presidential Palace of Kayikistan in a coordinated attack with the Kayikistanian infantry. The batallions of the fifth,third and first infantry divisions enter the city accompanied by the T-92 tanks divisions. As the deposed president of Kayikistan was taken into the military garrison North of the City and summarily execute for treason against the nation, the Kinovoch Imperial House assumed their rightful place as the rulers of Kayikistan.

Today,Emperor Yurif Kinovoch XV went on KayDF to speak to the Nation dress in green and red uniform:
"Today was a great day for the future of our nation Kayikistan, the evil democratic government has been deposed and the rightful rules of the Kayikistan has been restore to power once again. And now we can continue the path,we started of leading Kayikistan to international prominence and international super-power. As the new Emperor of Kayikistan,one of my first decrees is to order all the boys 13 and older to be Conscriptate to the Kayikistanian Army. And the girls 13 and older to be conscriptate to the Kayiskitanian Armed Factories. Veni,Vidi,Vici!Sieg Heil Kayikistan!!
And the TV went black.

The Empire of Saint Hilarion would like to be the first to congratulate Emperor Yurif Kinovoch XV on his successful liberation of Kayikistan from the previous government. The Emperor would specifically like to praise the decision about Compulsory Military Service; a wise move in today's world.

Subject: Coup de Etat

Having pulled off a coup de etat myself, I must say that you sir, are an idiot. Killing the former head of state will only fanaticize his former followers against your cause. Furthermore, child conscription as you are beginning is one of the most idiotic moves imaginable! While I do agree that children can be uppity through acts of rebellion such as asking for more porridge, handing them guns and expecting a crack army is ludicrious! I sincerely hope that the economic effects of these policies will corrode your nation from the core out.

Subject: Coup d’Etat

While I do not take kindly to any insults as to my intelligence, I am willing to accept that, maybe, I am an idiot. Bearing this in mind, I look to this quotation from one of those philosopher types in my dungeon:
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself an idiot.”
However, I do object to your statements against the benefits of Emperor Yurif Kinovoch's actions. By executing the heads of the previous government, he has shown any 'support' there might be that insubordination will not be tolerated. Furthermore, if the new Emperor is as clever as I think he is, then these executions will have been part of a very ingenious tactic. Using the executions as bait, any rebellious thinkers will be drawn out into the open and subsequently crushed! I have nothing to say as to the drafting of infantile resources, except that it is particularly beneficial to sporting aspects of the nation, and when preparing to start a large-scale war at short notice.

Let it be known that even though you have insulted the Emperor, we will not bear any grudges as you had merely not seen the truth, and were perhaps misguided by this.

His Majesty,
Emperor Saint Hilarion XI

OOC: I have to appologize, that post was aimed at Kayikistan, not you. I'll edit it accordingly (I misread the emperor tagline.) I'll send a crate of scotch to your emperor, along with an official appology, to make this little thing go away.

OOC: Haha no worries; scotch sounds good - Official Drink Of the Empire! Apology offically accepted!

OOC:

Interested in a little democratic liberation. After all, what's a coup without a Great Satan to play off of?

Ok. Who are the 'good guys' and who are the 'bad guys'? I think the'yre both evil.

To Emperor Yurif Kinovoch XV of Kayikistan,

The murder and removal of the legitimate government of your nation is most alarming along with the disgusting acts of barbarism and slavery in which you have inflicted upon your citizenry. It is at this moment that the Aequatian Republic demands that you immediately surrender your power to the proper civilian executive administrator, as per your nation's constitution, and accept the punishments for the crimes you have committed.

Signed,

President Holden Reid of Aequatio.

We are appalled by this atrocity, and you are to restore rightful ownership of the nation in its people within 72 hours.

Emperor Alexo Vamirez I of Laquasa

Dear Emperor Yurif Kinovoch XV,

It is my pleasure to speak as the personification of the State of Greater Franco-Prussia and to offer our congratulations on your assumption of power. It is my sincere belief that since you were able to wrest power, your adversary was not worthy of it, since he allowed it to be taken from his to easily.

Emperor Wilhelm Bismarck III

To Emperor Wilhelm Bismarck III of Greater Franco-Prussia,

Your nation's support for the illegitimate and illegal government of Kayikistan is most unwelcome and disturbing. What Yurif Kinovoch XV has committed are crimes against humanity in his utter disregard for the rights and freedoms of the nation's citizenry.

Signed,

President Holden Reid of Aequatio.

Incorporated States of Gauthic
Office of Prime

Greetings Emperor Yurif Kinovoch XV,

The nation of Gauthic applauds your successful regime change. It is a good day when the power of the people is the strongest.

The supposition that a piece of paper gives anyone, even an "elected official", ownership of a group of people that never intended to submit to their leadership, let alone universal will, is a follish supposition we do not share. You, Emperor, have the power to make great change within your nation now.

First, compulsory military service of the nations teen aged men. Great idea, but you are going about it all wrong. As for the compulsory industrial service of the teen age women, also an incomplete and unthought out move.

If you give vague orders to your people, they are likely to follow them to the letter. The last thing you want is the least trained and most uncoordinated people in your nation fighting on the front lines and producing your nation's goods.

I suggest you allow representative Moderators from some of our Bureaus to allow in the crafting of more stable programs to safeguard the people.

In return, or industries can begin trading without fear of economic backlash or dependancy.

To Prime Anthony Malcolm of Gauthic,

We are appalled by your nation's support of the illegal government of Yurif Kinovoch XV and immediately issue the demand that you cease all interactions with his administration. Failure to comply will place guilt as an accomplice in the crimes committed by Yurif Kinovoch XV and his comrades, we hope that you will make the wise choice.

To:President Holden Reid of Aequatio

Dear Sir,

The only legitimate government is the one that can hold onto its power. If one's government cannot hold onto its power than it does not deserve to exist. Since the former president of Kayikistan exercised insufficient paranoia or caution in his government, a more ruthless competitor exploited his weakness. The nation of Kayikistan will be stronger with him expunged. That is all the evidence I need to determine that his government was weak.

From a position of strength,
Emperor Bismarck III

We find it interesting that Anthony Malcolm has decided which forms of government have the right to rule over other people. Apparently democracies are not worthy of the right to rule while arbitrarily-imposed dictatorships are seen as perfectly sane and fit to run an entire nation. Gauthic's claim that no one should have the right to 'own' another person is an interesting one. However it is overshadowed by the condemnation of elected officials, those with the most right to run the country by the will of the people, which is truly baffling when compared with the fact that apparently someone who seized power by force of arms is granted the divine right to rule a nation and 'own' the people, as is evidence by the fact that he had the right to conscript every single person in his nation, regardless of desires or prior obligations, into either the military or industrial complexes.

I have no doubt that this will not only cripple Kayikistan's economy as they are suddenly going to be forced to supply and feed an army of millions upon millions of teenage boys, but that anyone fighting their army for whatever reason will be greeted by mass desertions and no effective fighting strength at all.

We hereby condemn the actions undertaken by the so-called 'Emperor' Yurif Kinovoch XV and demand that he return control of the country to the people, who are the only ones who should have the right to tell the people what to do, think or say. This is a gross and flagrant abuse of power over the military and subsequently over the nation itself, and the violation of countless individual rights of the nation's citizens.


Foreign Minister Peter Firth

To Emperor Wilhelm Bismarck III of Greater Franco-Prussia,

A government which does not fear its own people or organizations is one of strength, as it has the confidence to rule effectively instead of struggling to maintain control over its citizenry. The idea that one must be ruthless in order to rule a nation is absurd, however, if your theory is true, then it would be of little effort for myself to order the Aequatian armed forces to take control of your own nation, does that declare you unworthy of ruling as I am in a much more powerful position... does it not make your nation stronger to have me as its ruling party?

Signed,

President Holden Reid of Aequatio.

The President stepped up the podium in the Grand Forum in the City of Republica. The Home office had let it out that The President would be formalizing the government's position on the situation in Kayikstan. The media was there in droves and a crowd was there to pack the weathered old hall. After a brief introduction from the Minister of State, The President spoke.

"My fellow Republicans, by now we are all aware of the great travesty in Kayikstan. Two days ago, in a violent coup d'etat, a highly organized faction of the military overthrew the democratically eelcted government of Kayikstan. And in a brutal, senseless act of cowardice executed its president as well as several high ranking members of the government. The will of the masses, cut short at the end of a gun. To compound the travesty, children are being conscripted into the nation's armed forces and factories. As an unwilling populace is set upon by new and appalling levels of merciless savagery and barbarism. There are nations, greater than ours, stonger than ours, who have let thier condemnation of these vile acts been known. With this in mind, the Parliament of Ironwell will stand with the world and join in the growing chorus of outraged voices across the globe. To our potential allies, and more importantly to the illegitimate butchers who fashion themselves as liberatiors I say this. Our nation may be small in size, but in our veins flows the same unbendable iron that built this great forum. We will stand beside those brave enough to fight, and we shal not yeild or break of bend, until this once great nation returns to the hands of the rightful stewards its people chose. To Kayikstan, to our potential allies, to the world, this is our solemn vow. Strength in Brotherhood!"


And even as The President was delivering his address to the people, and well before the Grand Forum erupted in racous applause, the various ambassadors of the Republic of Ironwell reached out around the world, to nations like Aequatio and Laquasa Isle and indeed to all who would listen. Offering their hand in allegiance to stem the rising darkness.

To President Strom Gunderson of Ironwell,

While I and many others appreciate your zeal and vigour in the cause of democracy and legitimate government, we feel it is important to exhaust all diplomatic and non-military efforts before engaging in operations against those responsible and those that would support them. However, you may consider us an ally in these coming times.

Greetings President Holden Reid,

We appreciate your concern for our nation's well being. And we appreciate your concern for the well being of Kayikistan and it's people.

Your assumption that the current government is illegal simply because it is new and replaced another government is unfounded. What do you know of the previous government that makes them any less of a threat then the current one.

Attempting to impose unwritten laws on other nations is a violation of national sanctity. If my people or I wished for your way of life or your laws, we'd be one of your territories and wave your flag. But you do not write policy for our nation. After this hamfisted attempt at dicatating to our nation, we shall not be looking to you for socio-political models anytime soon.

This is a delicate situation, and threats will not make it any better. Passing arbitrary judgements upon other nations is foolish.

What needs to be done is to assist the people of Kayikistan. Our solution is to help guide their policies in a way which does not lead them to ruin.

If you have a better solution, then do not keep us in the dark. Tell us of your plan that will benefit the Kayikistanis.

Signed,
Anthony Malcolm, Prime

To Prime Anthony Malcolm of Gauthic,

The current administration of Kayikistan is illegal as they took it upon themselves to undermine and ignore the democratic process within their nation. If Mister Yurif Kinovoch XV wished to install the improvements, then he should have applied to the democratic system and moved through the proper channels instead of brutally taking control through means of force.

The goals of the Aequatian Republic is the return of a legitimate, democratic government which allows the will of the citizenry to direct the actions of the nation, and not the will of a single individual. Once a proper government has taken office, then the wishes of the people for improvements can take place, including the aid of foreign nations and powers if they so desire.

Signed,

President Holden Reid of Aequatio.

To President Holden Reid,

I am glad to see you caught my address. I will admit that perhaps I and my countrymen have shown a little too much zeal early on. We have been away from the world for a while, as well there a few things about this situation that remind us of skeletons from our past. I will keep the militant sentiment down in my nation, and rest assured we will stand beside you in any diplomatic actions.

Greetings Minister Peter Firth,

It is not Gauthic Policy to decide which nations are right or wrong. Nor should it be yours.

We never decided what form of government is correct, and what is not. We gave no support to the government we have no knowledge of and wish to make sure the new government does not commit any mistakes.

If it is wrong to decide what kind of government is right or wrong, then why are you so quick to declare the current Kayikistan government as an error.

The emperor did not act alone. He has followers. And we have yet to see the Kayikistani reaction to this coup. So far, they are complacement.

Please leave undiplomatic assumptions off of the table of diplomacy.

Greetings Again, President Reid,

I am glad that you are capable of informing me of aspects of the situation that were not clear before.

Where is your proof that the democratic process was proceeding properly? Proof that the democratic government previously had not become corrupt and ignorant of its people's will is important in deciding our next actions.

If you beleive that a democratic form of government is infallible, you are mistaken. There is no perfect system, and democracies have collapsed due to aristocratic rules of single and exclusive parties before.

The current emperor and his men are under the impression that they are right, and the previous democracy was in error. They undertook the solution that has indeed put him in power to do as he sees fit. He used a considerable amount of the nation's own military resources to make the coup possible as well.

Until we have facts, proof that the current government is truly a usurper, and not justified in removing a previous criminal element, we must choose diplomacy. Diplomacy is always the first option.

Signed,
Anthony Malcolm, Prime

I beg to differ, Mr Malcolm. The very beginning of your message opened with the words 'The nation of Gauthic applauds your successful regime change', making it abundantly clear that you support the new government. If this was not your intention, I suggest you learn how to communicate your thoughts better. Besides, my points made earlier were more an indication of your hypocrisy from turning on your heels saying that giving one person, even an 'elected official' the right to rule - or, in your words, "own" - over people is a bad thing, then blindly saying 'Now you have the power to make change'. If you truly believed in what you had first said, you would have criticized the new government equally as you criticized the old one.

Besides that, you have now openly lied to me. You claim you never offered support to the new government, while previously you claimed to support their policies of oppression and slavery of their populace, while offering suggestions on how to improve these policies, and offering Gauthic(an?) support in creating new, most likely oppressive policies, as well as trade between your two nations.

I never said it is wrong to classify types of governments as right or wrong. I do it all the time, and primarily consider oppressive dictatorships to be the worst form of government. As this is exactly what the new government of Kayikistan is displaying itself to be, I have criticized them as I often do others of their ilk.

Yes, the new government has supporters. Supporters who most likely would have been subtly executed by firing squad for 'treason' if they failed to comply, given that they were all members of the armed forces, and were given orders by their superiors to execute the coup. I have seen no evidence to support the fact that the new emperor, who seems quite willing to oppress his people for his own twisted ends, would have any qualms about executing those who do not follow his orders, the same way he has ordered the forceful conscription and slavery of millions of youths.

I advise you to follow your own advice and 'leave undiplomatic assumptions off the field of diplomacy'. Good day.

Greetings Minister Peter Firth,

Let's break this down point by point.

We applaud the succesful regime change. We know nothing of the previous government, and that is the one we cannot support. We do know that the current government is the one in power, and that their first policies are vague and have the potential to collapse their nation.

Second, not lying. I am not supporting the previous government. The previous government, neither of us know anything about. If you do know something, you must bring this to the table. But if you are assuming they were somehow just, then you are assuming. I will not act blindly.

Third, you suggest the that the current supporters of the emperor were coerced because they were military. If it is a maybe, it is pointless here. If it is a definitely, please bring forth the proof. And if you are saying it simply because you do not like the title of Emperor, then take your mudslinging to a wasteland hole somewhere, please.

Minister, it is our intention to help the people of Kayikistan. Passing judgement on people we know nothing about will not help them. And any course of action that puts holes in their nation will not help them.

I have offered them trade, as well as policy writing assistance. You have offered them physical violence on the grounds that you assume they are wrong without investigating the situation.

I am likely to have boots on Kayikistan soil to see the situation before you. You'll be busy slaughtering children at the Kayikistan border while I am confirming wether or not real crimes have occured.

If the new government is in the right, they will accept support from governments such as ours.

Signed,
Anthony Malcolm, Prime

As of today,I have order my military to DefCon 1 Level, I put our Air-Force and Navy in the highest Alert.

It was raining outside in Republica, the Grand Forum was unusually quiet as President Gunderson walked through the empty rows that would normally be filled with the never ending fervor of the Senate.

"Read the news?" rang out a voice from the top row.

"Yes, yes I saw the dispatch from their foreign office as well." replied the President as he turned up to see his Foreign Minister in the top chamber. "Good save, by the way."

"I hear the children are safe, for now" he said as he walked up the middle row of seats.

"Yes, and thanks," she shot back, "You should really tell me the next time you nearly throw our country into some global conflict. You're a hard man to clean up after sometimes"

"Am I? Sorry, I've always been particularly headstrong, more so than the last man to hold the office. I do admit I'll take some getting used to."

After a pause he asked, "Roberta, what do you know of The Great Burn?"

She stopped to think, everyone knew of The Great Burn. Facing certain defeat in the Great Patriotic War with foreign troops marching on the capital, Ironwell drove out the invaders by setting the once abundant and beautiful forests of Ironwell aflame in the middle of the dry season. The land is barren now, the forests now the things of distant memory and legend.

"I was but a young man of 8 years old when it happened." he continued, "My father took me to the forest and told me that when I saw the fireworks, to set the fire. Barely even a child, given a flamethrower and a pistol, made to hide in and love off the land until that fateful day. Three days after my ninth birthday, I shot a young man of sixteen or so in an enemy uniform. I don't regret what I did, it was our only choice back then, but still, no child should have to share memories such as these again. Good night Minister, maybe tomorrow I'll have made a new mess for you to talk me out of."
