The NS War Casualty Count

The NS War Casualty Count (NSWCC), an organization concerned with the many deaths that happen every day in our increasingly hostile world, wants to bring attention to the violence we have here every day.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to shine light on the many innocent people that die everyday in needless struggles, and encourage the international body to assist these people and help bring the world into a state of peace. Even if one person dies in combat, that is one too much. We aim to at least set the groundwork for a peaceful future for our children of future generations.

Every day, people die in needless disagreements between different people and nations. We hope to put a end to that someday.

Total Casualty Count since creation: 6 134 580

(1 190 910 Military, 1 833 670 civilian, 3 110 000 unknown)

Today's Reported Body Count:4 515 760

(1 182 090 Military, 1 833 670 civilian, 1 500 000 unknown/mixed)

As we do not have many funds, we cannot search for these totals ourselves. We ask that civilians and national governments send us their statistics. Also, we encourage civilians and soldiers who have been caught in the crossfire of national conflicts to tell us their stories, to help show the world the state of darkness it is in.

[ooc: For now, only MT conflicts in the "NS world" please (that means no seperate earths). When you post up casualty counts, post up the number of militay killed (if any) and civilians (if any).]

Carmina Gadalica Attack

Type: Bombing (Missile)

Casualties: 110,000

This only counts casualties as of right now? If not, then I have plenty of casualties to report; however, if so, then I cannot offer anything, though I am about to be in a war.
I'm sure that the whole resulting thing with Hataria and the others is going to cause some casualties.

[ooc: Yes, just casualties as of right now or the recent past (maybe up to a week ago) so that people don't have to keep coming in here and post up their totals.]

IC:

Pvt. Smelt Lakens, we appreciate the story you have sent to us. This horrific tale of war will, hopefully, show the leaders of the world that war is wrong and that peace is a wonderful thing to have. I, personally, have a nephew who I almost have lost too, and I'm grateful that you were one of the lucky few to survive combat.

The death count we have recieved is, well, unacceptable! Enough people have been brutally killed today to populate half a small nation! When I and a few others have banded together to create NSWCC, I thought that the world would have around thousands of deaths a day at least. But millions? This is why I have set up the NSWCC. We have to prevent many more millions from dying.

Story of Major Officer Tyler Samuels

It was a cold night.Me and sixty other guys were patroling Dublin roads when the IRA attacked.They started shooting and two of my men droped down and died.We attacked back but we couldn't handle it.It was 6 in the morning when we stoped fighting.Allies arrived but ten of my men were dead and i was badly wounded.I was sent to Dublin Military Hospital for treatment.I'm still in the hospital because the IRA blew off my right leg.My family have visited me many times but i still feel like i could i have stoped the IRA that day and i could have saved those ten lives.
