The crowds of citizens angry at the Whyatican imperialistic occupiers, fed up of the oppression by the Whyatican military. The reports of violent clamp down against those Clandonian's demanding a plebiscite. Millions had gathered together in the remains of Presidents Square where once parades of the military might and the Clandonian Corporation occurred. The crowd roared, gathering pace and furry for the love of their true nation, this was Clandonian nationalism at its finest. With connections to the Clandonian National Front the ring leaders had been given money for the campaign, making propaganda depicting the lush green lands of New Clandonia, the Royal Family smiling and looking happy and the black propaganda of supposed crimes committed by Whyaticans.

"We want freedom!" Chanted the crowd, the sounds of air horns and klaxon's filled the air as the millions waved banners and Clandonian flags. A group in the middle were burning the Whyatican flag, rejecting the imposed imperialism, the Whyaticans had tried to whoo the people with free education and healthcare, the sad truths were the people who joined up never came back from the bloody and brutal Whyatican wars. A leader in the crowd had climbed onto the Victory Fountain built to commerate those that had died in the Naashan Campaign.

"Clandonians! I call you together today to demand the freedom, far to long we have lived under the fascist jackboot of the Whyatican armed forces. Everyday Clandonians across the land are oppressed, beaten, raped and killed!"

The crowd murmured with banter, people telling stories of how the Whyaticans had come in the middle of the night and taken away someone they knew.

"I know many here have been bribed to go fight with the imperialists, tossing away their true citizenship to join the imperialists in their global drive to build an empire. Many have not returned, having given up their lives to try and help their families they were not even given the grace of a funeral!"

The crowd roared in support, whistles and horns sounded, the man ushered for silence to continue.

"I ask those here and across the nation and in New Clandonia to support our cause, we shall fight them and win, we demand a plebiscite for the right of self determination to return and be reunited with friends, family and the King!"

The crowd again roared in support, a chanting had started of 'Death to Whyatica long live Clandonia' with more effigies being burnt of the Whyatican leader. Within the millions were members of the resistance group, the Clandonian Liberation Army who had led the armed struggle since the first Whyatican invasion, targeting the imperialists. What was strange about the group they followed Marxist ideology but recently had decided the Royal family was hell of a lot of better than joining the imperialists in their expansionist conquest so your kids could go to school. The group would have a bumper membership uptake today as the romantic wave of Clandonian Nationalism swept over the crowd, people were in love of their true nation.

Nationalism Sweeps into Old Clandonia

Protesting in Victory Square, Old Clandonia at the Naashan War Memorial

From the New Clanon City Times
Front Page

Protests today in Old Clandonia reached their peak on the day that remembers the glorious victory over Naasha over twenty years ago. Government officials in New Clandonia still voice concern over the four hundred or so civilians still imprisoned by the Whyaticans as part of the imperialist land grab campaign. Clandonians in their millions rallied in Victory Square demanding a plebiscites take place. Despite Whyatican claims that citizens in its realm enjoy some of the highest standard of living in the Golden Triangle Region, the Times however reports these are fabricated lies, citizens are only given the benefits of healthcare and education if they serve in the Whyatican armed force. Several thousand Clandonian's did join up in the hopes of improving life for their families, the Times has learnt that many have been killed leaving the families with nothing.

If demands for people choosing their nationality are met then up to three hundred Clandonians are expected to move to New Clandonia to seek jobs, return to their families and return to a better standard of living.

Clandonian Protests Puzzle The Sane
In the Imperial colony of Clandón, formerly the homeland of Clandonia Prime, protests have been rising over the supposed 'imperialism' of the big bad evil Whyatican nation, which has been providing for much of the economic need of Clandón during the tumultuous reconstruction. Clandonian National Front leaders accuse the Whyatican government of atrocities such as massacres, kidnappings, rapes, and oppression. These claims, having been investigated by Miana Post investigators, are completely and totally false. There have been almost no casualties attributed to Whyatican fire since the integration of Clandón into the Empire, and not one modicum of proof was found by this newspaper to justify the CNF's claims of oppression.

The Clandonian National Front claims that Clandonians were "bribed" into accepting Whyatican citizenship by joining the army, and further that they're all dead from one of the Whyatican "imperialist wars." This could not be further from the truth - after the 1st Clandonian Infantry division was raised and trained from the Clandonian populace, it was deployed to Colombo Island, where it is still deployed with 100% of it's manpower available. The 1st Clandonian has never fought in any war or police action, so every single person in that division is still alive. The Emperor is rumoured to be thinking about personally dismissing the division and allowing it to return to Clandón to disprove this claim.

The people of Clandonia burn Emperor Paulus in effigy, as well as the Whyatican flag - and they are allowed to do this. Every single Clandonian is protected by the same laws that every single Whyatican is, and that allows peaceful protest against the government. However, what exactly the Clandonians are protesting is rather boggling - the quality of life has risen in Clandón has risen considerably since the integration, with the areas damaged by a nuclear blast well before the integration being de-toxed and cleaned of radiation, and will soon be livable. People have access to modern health care and education from Whyatican and Skyian companies, and the unemployment rate is 2% thanks to an upsurge in construction jobs.

Compare this to New Clandonia, where the people for an extremely long time had been prevented from learning how to read for fear of rebellion. Where people died of whooping cough and polio, where unemployment reached a boggling high of 27%. 0.5% of the people in New Clandonia control 99% of the wealth, while the rest of the people have nothing.

And the Clandonians in Old Clandonia think they have it bad off.
Miana Post

Whyatican Administration Centre, Clanon City, Imperial Clandón
Three hours prior to protest
"Governor." the police chief of Clanon City said, opening the door without knocking.

"Chief. What's on your mind?" Governor John Oliver said, looking up from his work.

"There's about five thousand Clandonians in the square protesting. Could become messy."

"Keep an eye on them, then, move some of the Yous to this area and get the MPs awake. I don't think this'll be anything special, chief, this happens quite a bit around here." Oliver said, typing out the orders for the record.

"Governor, I really recommend we disperse this protest immediately. The Clandonians are well known for their violence and--"

"Chief. I gave you my orders, now implement them. Am I understood?" Oliver said, his steely gaze staring into the police chief's eyes.

"..yes, Governor." the Chief said, leaving the room.

Present time, President's Square Protest
"Get these goddamn tanks moving!" yelled the police chief in a Clanon City depot, with dozens of Military Police getting in and moving as many tanks and armoured vehicles as possible, getting them to the square to maintain order. Most of the tanks used were the anti-riot Imperator Urbanus tanks, nicknamed the "Yous" among the Whyatican Military Police. However, due to the massive numbers of protestors and not enough Urbanus tanks, real M160A2 and Arca. IV Nakíl tanks were deployed with teargas and plastic BB ammunition to assist, with thousands of Military Police from across the colony waking up and being railed to Clanon City to assist in the peacekeeping.

Two helicopters flew overhead, both armed with water cannons and teargas canister guns, and from the loudspeaker, the pilot said the one thing that would make the situation once;

"CLANDONIANS DISPERSE IMMEDIATELY."


Thirty-four Imperator Urbanus tanks were at the protest area, along with nine hundred military police and civilian police. Those forces were supported by seventeen Nakíl tanks and ten M160A2 Phoenix tanks, but facing a million and a half angry protestors, the Whyaticans really wished they had real ammunition in their guns staring down the people..

As the protester's watched as the helicopter swooped over the one and half million person mass some of the more radical elements of the crowd knew it was their time to fight, one of the group a young student with his red star t-shirt ripped open his back pack tossing the eight bottles around the group, with a lighter igniting the rag end. Throwing it towards the nearest fascist tank bursting the joined by cheers from the crowd as others picked up rocks, rubbish and paving stones from the pavement.

"FREEEDDOOOMM!" Shouted one of the bearded protesters as he angrily lobbed bottle at the Whyatican police. The steady chant of 'Death to Whyatica' rose up as the protesters started to move pushed by the crowd towards the row of tanks. Knowing full well they might be armed with live ammunition they still advanced, this was what the Clandonian National Front wanted true patriarchy to ones nation. People were now so hyped up that they were ready to die for their nation.

As the camera crews set up shop on the top of a nearby office building recording the live events back to New Clandonia and the government. Prime Minister Sistilin had just been informed of the events as he flew back to Clandonia tuning into the live CNN feed. The site of the million or so people massed together in the square, the chanting of anti-Whyatican statements and what looked like smoke arising from flares set off by some protesters. Many in the crowd were children and their parents brought, being pushed along toddlers in prams wondering what all the excitement was as the crowd moved forwards to the waiting tanks.

Many wondered what would happen next as the drone of the helicopter and its message passed over the people...

The molotov cocktail hit the front scoop of an Imperator Urbanus tank, exploding and sending glass shards everywhere. The MPs behind improvised sandbag trenches nervously waited with their assault rifles at the ready, waiting for that one word that would change the course of the Clandonian occupation.

Governor John Oliver stared at the massive protest on a television screen, watching the fireball get caught on the front scoop of the Imperator Urbanus. He turned on his radio, which had a direct link to the commander of the MP force, paused, and said, "Fire."

Immediately following that single word, the sixty-one tanks of the security force opened fire in the crowd using tear gas canisters and pressurized water cannons, enough force to knock people down. There were women and children in the crowd, so the pressurized water cannons were preferred over the teargas, but only half the Whyatican tanks were equipped with those. The Military Police had not opened fire yet - they were equipped with real ammunition, and were the last resort if the tanks could not hold back the throngs of rioters. The helicopters up top began firing teargas canisters down into the crowd, attempting to avoid the people that were not part of the attack on the Whyatican tanks, but innocents being hit were inevitable due to the despicable action of the Clandonian rebels.

Hundreds more military police would arrive in Clanon City, railed in from the Whyatican colony in a mere hour, while it was hoped that the Skyians could provide much more police force immediately.

Embassy Suites, Venture Island, Whyatica
A limousine stopped at front gates to the massive block of foreign embassies in Venture Island. The guards checked it's identification and allowed it through, and it cruised through the two-lane street slowly, stopping at one of the larger and more decorated embassies, the Praetonian one.

Foreign Minister Daniel McKenzie got out, a stout man with dark hair and a cane, the result of an auto accident near his home in Miana. He walked up the stairs and entered the embassy, looking at the Praetonian secretary and saying, "Is the Ambassador in?"

the Whyaticans had tried to whoo the people with free education and healthcare, the sad truths were the people who joined up never came back from the bloody and brutal Whyatican wars. A leader in the crowd had climbed onto the Victory Fountain built to commerate those that had died in the Naashan Campaign.

Tanks in the streets of Old Clandonia

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/tanks.png
The Prime Minister expresses concern as Whyatican military targets women and children with water cannon and tear gas.
___________________
From 'The Herald'
Front Page

The Whyatican Colonial administration in Old Clandonia responded violently to calls from protestors for a plebiscite on the country's future, which many from all parts of the political spectrum do not want to see as a province of a foreign power. Tanks under the control of the Whyatican military were immediately deployed to disperse the then-peaceful protestors, but the scene turned to violence as the formerly peaceable Clandonians tried to resist the on-coming vehicles, with Whyatican tanks firing tear gas and water cannon, described by the Kingston Royal Metropolitan Constabulary as "potentially lethal", indiscriminately into the crowd of men, women and children.

The Prime Minister, addressing the Commons this morning, described the incident as "despicable and unjustifiable" and accused Whyatica of "infringing the natural right of every human being to freedom of assembly without just cause or provocation." He also condemned the absence of a civil police force in the Whyatican 'colony', and concluded that "the increasingly unjustifiable continued Whyatican rule is becoming so unstable that it is unlikely the Colonial government would trust a Clandonian police force to enforce its order."

It is currently unclear whether the order to open fire came from the Colonial authority or from the immediate operational commander, but as yet no Whyatican statement has been issued condemning the incident.

The Royal Praeto-Clandonian Society, founded upon the accession of Clandonia to the Royal Georgian League to "promote co-operation and cultural exchange between the Crown Commonwealth and the United Kingdom of Clandonia", unequivocally condemned both the suppression of the protest and the continued Whyatican and Silver Skyian presence in Old Clandonia.

In a statement issued by the Society, of which His Majesty the King is Sovereign, the Society levelled a number of specific accusations against Whyatica and The Silver Sky, saying that "Whyatica and The Silver Sky seized sovereignty from Clandonia in response to an operational decision made by a local commander in a foreign country. They deposed a democratically elected government and imposed an illegitimate foreign order upon the country on laughable grounds. Continued Whyatican and Silver Skyian control is a direct violation of the dignity and liberty of the people of Clandonia."

The Duke of Warburton [leader of the opposition Liberal Party] joined in the attack, saying that, "the circumstances justifying occupation of Clandonia have long since ended. It is time for Whyatica and The Silver Sky to return power to the people."

The occupation is also widely blamed in "New" Clandonia for displacing a large section of the population into the new country, which is located in Haven, by refusing to allow home rule to recommence. Despite substantial investment and recent improvement, "New" Clandonia still experiences poor living conditions brought about by the need to rebuild the country from scratch in its new location.

The rioters were hit by the water canons, the powerful jet of water knocked people of their feet. A woman carrying a baby slung in her arm was knocked to the floor her head hitting the paving making a satisfying crack as the blood seeped out, her baby flung to the floor crying for its mother who was already dead. As the aircraft swooped in the crowd rushed forward scarred of the smoke released as some of the more organised donned gas masks to escape from the choking agent. The crowd were surging forward were crushing those who had fallen from the water canon.

"The murdering bastards!" Cried one doctor who was in the crowd as he tried to help a child who had been knocked over by the water cannon, the blood covered the wet ground as people struggled to escape the tear gas. The fallen just angered the protesters even more, many rushed forward lobbing projectiles at the Whyatican forces. The radicals had run out of fire bombs and had decided to leave post haste knowing of the chaos they had created.

Thrown rocks and pebbles hit the makeshift barriers the Military Police were hiding behind, causing them to get rather twitchy at the guns. Water cannons and tear gas continued to knock protestors down, although the power level for the cannons was pulled back a bit so it would merely knock people down instead of huge amounts of power. The Military Police had live ammunition along with their anti-riot shields, and their rules of engagement were not to fire unless ordered. Most of them felt they were under a direct violent attack and should fire immediately, but the order had not been sent and the tanks seemed to be suppressing the front lines of them. Another wave of teargas canisters against the ones attacking the military police blockade came from the helicopters above, the gas would prevent them from essentially doing anything except rub at their eyes in pain, and the water cannon would knock the front lines doing, making it that much more difficult for the protestors to continue charging without trampling their fellow men. Hopefully - and this was a thin hope - the Clandonians would think twice before trampling their fellow countrymen, given their bizarre dronelike nationalism, but their hatred for all things Whyatican and Skyian was well known.

For the nine hundred military police deployed, it seemed like a scene out of that movie "300", where they were facing down the barbarian hordes, outnumbered many hundreds to one, only their wits to help them. And guns.

Guns are very helpful.

House Resolution on Clandonia

As the United States of Allanea is a member of the Sovereign League, and as we are allies of Whyatia and The Silver Sky, this Congress is unfortunately forced to remind the world – and it's allied Sovereign League members – of the values on which the League is founded – the values of the free market, individual liberty and responsibility.

We would like to agree with the statements of the Praetonian leadership - the Prime Minister, his Majesty the King of Praetonia, and the Duke of Warburgton. The principles of individual liberty and the free market run counter to the idea of the continued occupation of Clandonia, and to the practices which inevitably ensue from such an occupation – such as the brutal subdual of a mostly-peaceful demonstration with water cannon and tanks.

We would like to call on the Whyatican leadership to cease moves which are – frankly – not beneficial for their economy. It would be cheaper for the Whyatican and Skyan taxpayer to withdraw military forces and to simply engage in the time-honored practice of free trade with Clandonia.

However, while the principles of liberty and the free market are important, freedom is impossible without responsibility – and the Clandonians must learn that. We must remember that they were originally conquered for a reason – the lack of responsibility in their government.

Therefore, the opinion of Congress and the Allanean people, adopted in this resoluition at a vote of 65.45% Aye, is that while we support the Clandonian independence in principle, we would like to remind the Clandonians that, should they find independence again and use it irresponsibly, they will again lose it. We also request the Whyaticans and Skyans to let Clandonia go – for just as there can be no freedom without responsibility, there can not be responsibility without freedom.

This is all.

May God Save the Queen.

The 1st peacekeepers is incredibly disturbed by this situation. Can't anyone solve there problems with diplomacy?

A peacekeeper company is being sent to stop the violence. This company shows no bias and will not help either side in their agenda. The goal of this mission is only to bring this problem to the bargaining table.

The company will arrive within one day.

Whyatican Empire Resigns from Sovereign League
Today, Emperor Paulus I gave a shockingly terse announcement to a crowd that did not seem to be all that surprised by it. Looking rather impressive in his suit, he spoke one sentence into the microphone and all the cameras watching.

"Today, the Whyatican Empire is no longer a member of the Sovereign League."

The citizens watching the announcement did not seem to be shocked, or any other reaction. The Sovereign League's role in Whyatican society had dwindled steadily since Operation: Distant Early Warning. League propaganda posters had been taken down, and anti-League writers and newsmen became more prominent, such as the famous journalist Victor Atreides on television, and the author Gail Bammes.

The most common criticism of the Sovereign League was one that the Whyatican government had been accused of, and still is accused of by mainly the Praetonians: The common goal had been destroyed by realpolitik. The Sovereign League does not charge out against injustice, even in the largest forms such as the Imperium Doomanum or Automagfreek, merely fights relatively minor things in British Londinium or Clandonia Prime.

That brings another point - Praetonian foreign policy has butted heads with Whyatican foreign policy, especially over Clandonia Prime, where half of the Clandonian homeland is now a Whyatican province and the other half is a Skyian province. An unnamed official noted, "Praetonian support for Clandonia Prime is unacceptable - they are unstable, violent, and unable to think for themselves."

Perhaps the truth about the resignation from the Sovereign League will come out some day - or perhaps not, but what it seems is that the people are merely indifferent.

The Clandonian's were in complete panic now, trapped in by the huge crowd they were trampling over each over as elderly and the infirm who had been incapacitated by the tear gas. Several rounds had hit people, burning them horrifically from the shells as the gas choked them. The gas irritated the lining of the lungs, this was deadly to those with respiratory illness's as the ambulances tried to move through the crowd they became trapped unable to move as the medics desperately tried to help people who had been struck down. Over two thousand people had fallen down, trapped in as the crowd tried to escape from the Whyaticans, for a person in the middle it was impossible to escape as the tear gas saturated the air chocking them to death.

The hospitals had begun filling up with the injured, people piled up on the floor and trolleys holding oxygen masks choking. Supplies were running out as people came in with horrific injuries of crushed bones sticking out of the skin and internal bleeding from the stampede. Nurses, doctors and medical orderlies had never seen anything like this, some who had been former Clandonian military doctors had never even witnessed events like this since the Naashan war when chemical weapons were used on the unprepared Clandonian troops.

"Hold fire, hold fire damnit!" the tank commander yelled into his radio, and slowly the tanks and helicopters held their fire, stopping the barrage of water cannons and clearing a path for people to move.

The commander said into his microphone, "Get us some damned medics here, bring everything available to get these people to the hospital, the riot is over."

Exodusing Clandonians pushed past the barriers with nothing in their way now, probably trampling their fellow countrymen in the process. The riot had effectively ended, however, now the few Whyatican men there had to deal with a million and a half (minus some, naturally) protestors running the hell away and trampling each other. The Whyatican military police just guided people through, slightly fearful of getting in the way of many hundreds of thousands of Clandonians without the tanks keeping them back. The damage, however, had been done to the Whyatican reputation - Thousands might die from the lung damage and by trampling, giving the CNF plenty of figurative ammunition to start yet another riot. Something had to be done, otherwise another, larger riot may occur..

Imperial Palace, Miana, Whyatica
A quiet knocking interrupted the thoughts of Whyatican Emperor Paulus - his thoughts clouded by his battling over leaving the Sovereign League. He shoved the thoughts aside and said, "Come in."

A representative of Governor John Oliver entered, giving a bow to the Emperor. He said, "My Emperor, if you have a moment..?"

"Yes, go ahead." he said, looking into the man's eyes.

"The Clandonian riot has been suppressed, however, Governor Olivier wishes to know what he should do to prevent such riots in the future. He has requested the deployment ten infantry divisions to Clandón."

Paulus paused. Just another thing the Emperor needs on his mind. He then said, "Order Governor Olivier to plan for open elections for the regional governor position, after which he will immediately be relieved of the position. Olivier will remain an advisor to the new Clandón governor, however."

"..Yes, my Emperor." the advisor said, and the Emperor turned to a computer so he could write the official orders out.

The Clandonian's had begun moving out the square, frightened, injured and tired from being trapped in by the Whyaticans for several hours. People were collapsing from heat exhaustion, medical teams were treating the severely wounded as volunteers piled up the injured near the roads. The hospitals were full to the brim with injured, the footage of the suffering stirred the Clandonian Nation Front in Old and New Clandonia, members began rallying in New Clandonia demanding revenge on the Whyaticans. The militant wing of the party the Clandonian Liberation Army had begun plotting revenge attacks in Old Clandonia against the Whyatican imperialist presence and possibly on targets abroad.

The fight would go on, the riots of today had proven the nationalist point and many had been slain, the official death count was less than a thousand, unofficial figures told by doctors plied with a bit of alcohol revealed that over five thousand had been found dead, with body bags overflowing outside moratoriums.

Back in New Clandonia...

Downing Street, New Clanon City

The cabinet were watching in disgust as the tape was replayed back to them, they had all seen it before. Their countrymen being shot at and treated like animals by a country in the same region as them.

"This is an outrage, we must act in the strongest possible terms." Spoke the PM, realising he had to look strong as

"I agree, the worst thing we could do is do nothing, the Praetonians will support us on this and after Whyatica left the Sovereign League I dare say they will be on the best terms." Answered Sir Philips, who for a man of his statue was clearly not hiding his anger.

"We draft a statement demanding that Clandonians be allowed to flee from the oppression that the Whyaticans are subjecting to them on a daily basis. We fly aircraft in to evacuate them in a mass air lift, if they attack then they can answer to the Praetonians."

"How many have died?"

"Its in the thousands I expect." Spoke Health Minister Stephanie Rogers.

"On the ground rough estimates are saying roughly five thousand people, the CNF is calling for war against the Whyaticans but I doubt they will get anything passed in parliament. It will strengthen their cause, in Old Clandonia the militant groups are probably already planning a retaliation."

"Their departure from the Sovereign League means they will be weakened, their sorts are not wanted in the alliance which promotes equality and sovereignty when they go around spreading their bloody imperialist paws on the free nations of the world."

Official Clandonian Response

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/madnukedude/clandoniansmallflag.png

To the Whyatican Government:

Your recent actions in Old Clandonia are beyond belief, attacking unarmed peaceful protesters in a territory which you claim has the same democratic and civil rights as mainland Whyatica is a disgrace. His Majesty's government demands that all Clandonians be allowed to escape the chaos and destruction caused by your violent imperial rule. The nationalist presence from the Clandonian National Front will remain and grow stronger, the events of today have strengthen their cause and it is likely they will likely seek vengeance.

God Save the King



Prime Minister David Sistilin

Office of Governor John Oliver, Imperial Clandon
The representative was slightly fatigued from his massive trip back and forth from Whyatica to Clandon - It was not an easy trip even for the most weathered of travellers - and as he entered the office of Governor Oliver, he sat down and waited for the Governor to notice.

"Welcome back." John said, not looking up from his work.

"I assume you've read--" the representative said, and the Governor nodded.

"Got the official orders today - I've been decreed to 'surrender my post following open elections for the Regional Governorship'. I get to remain on as the permanent Whyatican advisor, whatever the hell that means, but the Emperor just expects me to pack up and let a damned Clandonian nutcase take the govenorship."

"You have to, though."

"I'm aware of this, thanks Mr. Fucking Obvious." Oliver said, fuming.

"I'll let the election happen but I'll be damned if the Clandonians try to secede and I'll be proven right." he continued ranting, and the representative quietly tiptoed out of the room.

_________________________________
Whyatican military police had begun a crackdown on activity of known CNF members - The rebels could no longer be permitted a free reign. Using membership lists of the CNF party, the Whyatican military immediately obtained warrants for the search of every one of the homes for guns or other illicit materials, such as those to create bombs and other weapons. Three more divisions of Whyatican infantry were being deployed to Clandon to keep the peace and enforce Imperial rule.

The immediate worry was foreign states, especially New Clandonia sending in guns to arm the Clandonian Nationalists, and Clandonian port traffic in the Whyatican area was quietly restricted to only Whyatican, Skyian, and Questarian traffic allowed, with all others being forced to turn back or with very heavy and thorough searches before any goods could be offloaded. Air traffic was similarly restricted - Skyian and Whyatican traffic could move as before, with all others being subjected to thorough searches of every square inch of the plane to prevent arms from being smuggled in.

Imperial Message
The United Kingdom of Clandonia Prime is in no position to demand anything of Whyatica. The claim that the protestors were 'unarmed' is laughably false, as there is video proof that protestors attacked Whyatican police using molotov cocktails. Why would an 'unarmed protestor' go with several bombs on his person? The 'chaos and destruction' is almost non-existant - with the exception of the tragic events of yesterday, the province has been largely peaceful, with nationalist attitudes being fueled by insane Clandonian radicals who do not seem to like the high quality of life in Old Clandonia.

The Clandonian National Front has shown themselves as the terrorists they are - and appropriate action will be taken against the militants in Old Clandonia.

Official Clandonian Response

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/madnukedude/clandoniansmallflag.png


A small minority were involved in a violent reaction which had been fuelled by the Whyatican military presence. Branding the Clandonian National Front while a radical party as a terrorist group will not improve the situation. Any crackdown purely due to a persons political standing is highly undemocratic and reinforces the United Kingdoms view on the situation in Old Clandonia. His Majesty's government would also like to know the official death count with Clandonian sources indicating that at least five thousand people were killed in the events.

In the North of Old Clandonia the strong hold of the Clandonian Liberation Army, an area for years which had been ungovernable rebels were moving across the mountains towards the open border out into the wastelands which the Clandonian government had tried to control for years with very little success, the paths across the border were marked in white indicating safe routes after Clandonian official began a heavy mining programme several decades ago to try and keep the rebels out. Now occupied by the militant wing of the CNF armed with weapons funded by party members in Old and New Clandonia, knowing there would likely be a crackdown it was decided by local regional commanders for members to lie low and await further communication for the planned offensive in revenge for the protest deaths.

Imperial Message
The terrorist activities of the Clandonian Nationalist militants look badly upon the civilian political arm - The existance of the Clandonian Nationalist Front in regional politics is permitted on the sole condition that their rhetoric does not become violent, and they have obviously broken this condition. Clandonian Nationalist militants will not be permitted to continue their terror attacks on Clandonian citizens and Whyatican military. The official death count due to direct Whyatican action has been estimated at approximately 243, with the rest of the deaths being caused by trampling or other non-Whyatican violence during the protest. The families of those 243 will be compensated by the regional government.

Office of Governor John Olivier
"General," the Governor said as the top military official in Clandón entered his office.

"Governor. What's on your mind?" General Jonathan Stipe said, sitting down in a chair.

"You know about the situation outside of Danskeran, correct?"

"Of course. The situation is generally lawless but there is nothing of value out there and little rebel activity."

"Are you sure?" the Governor said, turning the screen in his office on to a satellite feed of the area.

"CNF rebels have taken control of the area and are directing weapons shipments through. You are to bring all available force to attack the rebellion and end the weapons shipments. Capture any rebel you can for interrogation." Oliver said, watching the screen.

"3rd Armoured based out of Minskian is ready to move into the northern territories. I'll order air strikes on the area." General Stipe said, getting up and preparing to leave the office with his orders.

"Go on, then." the Governor said, continuing to plan for the blasted election which would remove him from his post. He had to do as much damage to the rebels as he humanly could before a CNF radical governor was elected and reversed all of the progress - hopefully removing as much rebel support from the populace as possible would prevent that, and allow a pro-Whyatican governor to be elected.

3rd Armoured Division HQ, just outside of Minskian
"All soldiers, prepare for departure. All soldiers.." droned the loudspeaker, and every Whyatican soldier naturally obeyed the command, fueling and arming tanks and other vehicles for the planned attack on the rebel-held northern territories. The strike would establish a permanent fortress in the area to prevent CNF from grabbing control of the area again, as well as commanding the entire border and preventing weapons shipments from entering through the wastelands. Armoured forces were adequate for this mission - troops did not need to enter the mountains, because chasing them past the mountains and into the wasteland and keeping them there was certainly mission success.

The division would move out in twelve hours, and the first rebel outpost was another 12 hours on the roads from there...

Danskeran Air Force Base, Danskeran
F-8 'Phantom' aircraft had been prepared for a fast strike on the rebel outposts before the armoured forces arrived to mop them up - loaded with dumb bombs and ground attack missiles, the first strike would throw them in disarray and heavier bombers were being prepared to destroy mountainous routes and cut off escape routes. The eight-fighter wing launched without trouble, accelerating to just over Mach 1, where it would get to the first strike point in a matter of minutes.

From The Office Of the Illiorian Minister of International Relations
I'd like to point out the Clandonian Government that their request for the Skyian and Whyatican forces to be leaving Old Clandonia is quite hypocritical considering their previous actions, specifically in Eurasia (Formerly British Londinium). At that time when Allied forces were asked to leave by the Eurasian government during their request for a return of sovereignty, Clandonian Forces did not comply, and neither did the Whyaticans or Skyians for that matter, but at least they're not as hypocritical to ask to be treated better than they treat others. So, my suggestion to the Clandonian government is that you just sit back and wait for the occupation to end, and I'd also suggest working with the Whyaticans and Skyians if you really want them gone, especially to deal with the terrorists whose actions do nothing but prolong the occupation.

Re: Security Situation

It has become apparent after the disastrous riots in Clandon that the Whyatican Military Police are incapable of effectively dealing with civil disturbances in their colony. We of Global Tetrahedron Inc. believe we can help you in your time of need.

Clandon needs a highly-trained, respected, civil police force capable of maintaining law and order. We at Global Tetrahedron wish to tender an offer to create, train, and establish a fully modern police force some 150,000 strong, following highly successful models established in cities around Mer des Ennuis.

If awarded the contract, GTI representatives will train officers in street crime prevention, counter-riot operations, SWAT operations, K-9 operations, marine security, aviation, bomb disposal, counter-terrorism, intelligence, anti-gang operations, narcotics and vice prevention, public highway patrol, security for public transportation systems, computer crime prevention, and ports of entry/egress security; as well as public relations. In addition, 250 modern precincts and facilities will be constructed in the most efficient pattern possible, while older Clandon facilities will be decommissioned and salvaged.

We will flat-rate this at $35,937,500,000.

Please let us know, the price is somewhat negotiable.

To the Whyatican Government:

Following a night of discussions with members of my cabinet for a final solution to the troubles in Old Clandonia. It is on His Majesty's invitation that a Whyatican government representative fly to Clandonia, for discussions to normalise relations between Whyatica and Clandonia Prime and for arrangements regarding travel and nationality to be resolved.

The Grand Imperium of Whyatica
The Grand Imperium is proud to announce the amicable resolution regarding Old Clandonia. Today, at 6:13 local Whyatican time, Ambassador Richard Atreides signed the Treaty of Normalisation and Aid with the Clandonian government. The terms of the treaty are:

Article I:
The United Kingdom of Clandonia Prime will cease to claim sovereignty over the area hereafter called "Old Clandonia", which is made up of the Whyatican province of Imperial Clandon and the Skyian province of Skyian Clandon.

Article II:
Free travel between Old Clandonia and the United Kingdom of Clandonia Prime will be permitted. All those that choose to remain in the Old Clandonia provinces shall be granted full citizenship to their respective country.

Article III:
All three governments shall condemn the activities of the Clandonian National Front militants as illegal and aggressive, and action will be taken in both the UKCP and Old Clandonian provinces.

Article IV:
An economic aide package of one hundred fifty billion Whyatican Credits shall be given to the largest Clandonian banks, under condition that they be directed to provide this money in low interest loans to small businessmen.

Clandonian ports and airports have been opened to traffic to the United Kingdom of Clandonia Prime, as well as vice versa. Unconditional, immediate Whyatican citizenship has been given to those Clandonians that choose to remain in the Whyatican province. As well, an Imperial Whyatican embassy has been opened in New Clanon City, and a Clandonian embassy and full diplomatic ties have been established in Venture Island, Whyatica.

Also, joint operations against Clandonian National Front rebels have commenced in Imperial Clandón and the UKCP, aiming at eradicating Clandonian rebels that seek to destabilize the new peace between the former quarreling nations.

"Foxtrot One, targets locked." one of the fighter pilots said over the communications, and the leader said, "Open fire when locks achieved."

Sixteen ground attack missiles quickly dropped out of the bomb bays, targetted at the tents and makeshift buildings of the CNF camp. This was the first of approximately twenty camps - Ten of them would be struck by air that day, while the 3rd Armoured Division approached by ground to mop up whatever resistance remained. Mountaineer troops were being mobilized from the infantry divisions, aiming to shut down the mountainous border between Clandón and the great wastelands to the west.

The attack came so suddenly that it was unlikely the Clandonians knew about it, but given the new hostility, there was a chance they could do something about it..

This agreement today is a hugely positive one in Clandonian-Whyatican relations. For the first time since the invasion there will be a permanent diplomatic representation in both nations marking a truly symbolic occasion. The breaking down of travel, trade and the economic age package are welcomed by His Majesty's government.

In the Clandonian Parliament an emergency bill has been passed outlawing and freezing the assets of members of the Clandonian National Front for their actives involving terrorism and plotting against the Crown government. As I speak now Clandonian forces are arresting and detaining known or suspected members of the party, all CNF fiscal assets will be frozen and their retrospective geographical constituencies to have open bi-elections within the next two weeks.


God Save the King








In the New Clandonian city of New Kirkland a heartland for nationalist feelings in the heartland of the Clandonian uranium and nuclear industry. A Clandonian Prime Interior Security Force team had assembled at the CNF party HQ, having been listening into the bugged offices of Conrad Zackin the party leader in the commons. Breaking down the door of the offices in the late evening the security guards overwhelmed by the burst automatic gunfire breaking the glass fronted lobby. Zackin wasn't in the building nor at his home residency but on a privately chartered flight outbound for the Clandonian Virgin Islands, he was picked up at New Danskeran when refuelling, the CNF was now over.

OOC: I decided it'd be better to post it here.

In the meanwhile, in the state of San Nereiana, in Southern Haven, the Allanean Army had come up with a cheap, yet efficient way to reinforce the local defense systems. It would be a rational, low-cost, and yet highly powerful upgrade.

Visualize, if you will, a single underground bunker, hidden somewhere on the beautiful, white sandy beaches of San-Nereiana. From it, a variety of hidden controls touch off a variety of weapons.

First among those are concrete torpedo six-packs, spread at sixty-kilometer distance intervals along the very edge of the territorial waters of San-Nereiana. As such, there is approximately six hundred kilometers between the easternmost and westernmost torpedo sixpack.

Back on the shore – hidden about five hundred kilometers inland – are six shore-defense tubes – each hiding a single Khan missile. Like the torpedo six-packs, they are spread out and nonreusable – a strike at the location from which the Khan had been launched is completely useless. They are spread at approximately one hundred kilometer intervals from each other. Also spread – though hidden on the very beaches proper – are quinntuple-tube missile launchers launching Kriegzimmer-made Shockhammer rockets.

All of those are controlled by approximately three men sitting in that one bunker. All they need to do is choose targets on a map and push a button. Six more men live in the bunker with them - three shifts, holding guard for four hous at a time, and a commander to arrange the entire thing.

There is a thousand of these bunkers, shielding San-Nereiana from attack from the sea. The firing sectors of their weapons overlap.

But this is not everything. Additionally, one thousand Incinerateur gattling cannon are spread out, ten kilometers into the shoreline, to protect San Nereiana from enemy fire, as well as 100 of the famous Stormhammer cannon. These, too, are remotely operated – ten Incinerateurs and one Stormhammer from a single inland bunker. Each sits on an automated feed canister, separated from the cannon proper by several meters of sand – 'just in case' of some freak attack.

And yet this was not everything. For Allanea must be protected from not just ordinary, but nuclear attack as well. And thus, a hundred more command bunkers are installed, and from them are controlled – 100 USABM rockets, 1,000 SuperSprint missile quadpacks, and one hundred ABM lasers.

In total, twelve thousand personnel are needed to man the new fortifications and to provide them with the rare support services they need.

Officially, this was unrelated to the events in Clandonia. But then, why was Allanea also relocating 150 infantry divisions to San-Nereiana?
