Stoklomolvi Civil War [Semi-open, OOC, MT]

8255TH STOKLOMOLVI CIVIL WAR
[OOC: Note, optimised for Mozilla Firefox, 1280x1024, Calibri font installed, semi-open as you must contact me before joining.]
The civil war had finally spread to international proportions. States across Stoklomolvi were declaring independence, ideologies spreading wide across the political spectrum. The independent states to the south gave support to the variety of factions in Stoklomolvi. Most of the land in Stoklomolvi, however, was still controlled by the conservatives, who sought to beat out all of the new states that had formed. Many feared foreign invaders, though it was inevitable that some form of international power would arrive and support one of the factions, decisively altering the outcome of the civil war. Only time will tell what type of new state will emerge.
FACTION DETAIL
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union.svg/25px-Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union.svg.png COMMUNISTS
The base faction of the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi, the Communists, seeks to reunify the once glorious nation under its former communist rule, albeit with a new ruler from the same Stuyonovich regime. Under the conservative Communists, nothing would really change. The majority, or 2.3 billion of the population, seek this outcome.

A new faction, with support from the World Soviet Party, has risen from absolutely nothing. Currently, they have over 52 million supporters, and are recognised by only the liberals and imperialists. The Stoklomolvi Protectorate of Soviet Republik has claimed that this "Soviet Faction" is a fraud, though the faction is rapidly gaining support from liberal defectors.

A new faction, risen out of the nothingness by the Totalitarian State of Red Tide, has declared independence. The faction, which gained many initial supporters, slowly was run into the ground due to the lack of directions from the Red Tide. This faction no longer exists.
Supporters
- Red Tide
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Flag_of_Russia.svg/25px-Flag_of_Russia.svg.png LIBERALS
The liberals, who could be said to have been the instigators of the civil war, seek a democratic, capitalist approach to the new Stoklomolvi state, which would be called the Federal Dominion of Stoklomolvi. At least 200 million demand this liberal outcome, stating that only through "cooperation, tolerance, equality, human rights, and freedom" can Stoklomolvi truly become the glorious nation that everyone wants. The liberal faction is slowly declining and may lose the civil war.

The fascists have around 150 million supporters, though they claimed to have a large land area. Fascists throughout Stoklomolvi have banded and are being increasingly successful in the reunification, though the communists are menacing on all sides. Still, supported heavily by several states, the fascists have become more powerful. Eventually, they would have to change their war flag, deemed to be tasteless by all.

The pure traditionalists from the seventeenth century demand the return to the old days of the Stoklomolvi Empire, in which the Emperor ruled as the supreme ruler over all with few members of government. While largely ignored, being a relatively calm faction that does not seek to attack anybody, they still have the chance of returning Stoklomolvi back to the old empire. The imperialists are collapsing. The imperialists have over 90 million members.

Oseaton Broadcast News
"Recently civil strife in the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi recently exploded into full out civil war. The situation had been monitored here in Oseato and the government recently released a statement in support of the liberal faction that is currently engaged in the civil war.
More recently The Federation of Oseato has pledged to send in the 1st and 2nd Shock Armies as well as the 1st Fleet to support Liberal operations off the coast of Taipei. General Hamilton, President of the Federation, released this statement.
A video feed of General Hamilton is shown.
'The time has come for the final chapter of the communist rule of Stoklomolvi to be written. No longer will their tyranny be afflicted on the people of that great country. The Federation of Oseato fully supports the Liberals now fighting in Stoklomolvi and will do everything in their power to assure that a democratic government is installed in that country. That concludes my statement.'
The feed ended and the news anchor in the studio reappeared on the screen.
Please stay with us as the situation develops."

TO: [Open Communique]
FROM: Alexander Nevskij, Minister of Foreign Affairs, The World Soviet Party
The sovereign nation of Stoklomolvi has fallen into disarray, it's former political organization, a communist dominion, has proved to be ineffective and has failed to fulfill it's duties to it's people.
Therefore, and taking into consideration the current situation, it is with sorrow that the Socialist States of The World Soviet Party must intervene to, once again, restore order and peace in far away lands.
As of today, the Soviet embassy in the Stoklomolvi capitol city, has been declared a safe haven for any refugees wanting to escape the nation. Furthermore, it will also become the general headquarters of the Soviet Expeditionary Force to the region and will help, aid, arm and train any Stoklomolvi citizen willing to join us in our triumphant march towards victory, peace and stability.
Signed,

[OOC: Same, although given that I'm RP-ing with a population of 131 million, all out war from my side isn't exactly crushing. Will obviously land in the liberal zone to the east and establish a front line or something in that manner, and begin air-dropping supplies to fascist forces just to mix it up a little. For the most part however, I will basically be following Aki's lead. I'm aiming for quality over quantity post-wise as I hoped to achieve in this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=563482) thread, so will not be posting every day, likely just a couple give or take one a week. Also I'm really rather busy in RL at the moment with work and friends et cetera, so that might further hamper my commitment. Lastly, my Mac is literally dying on me, having already deleted all my system preferences amongst more, so like Binaria, I may just disappear off of the face of the NSearth.
Also might I recommend you rename this as an "OOC" thread, and sort out an IC thread when the sides are all prepared? You'd undoubtedly require an OOC thread for something like this anyway.

East Laos, you can try to help the fascists. It will be difficult, though.

You can only land in the west. Probably did not make that clear. Alfegos knows about the India thing; just know that everything east of Pakistan resembles RL Asia, only at a much, much, MUCH larger scale.

With the 'map-glancing' done, I would like to create my own faction. Call it the Central Faction.
Officially, the Central Faction wants too establish a very-powerful, highly-centralised government. It's official economic policies are a mix of a lightly regulated-free market economy (for most consumer goods) and a hardline state-planned economy (for everything else).
In reality, however, the faction is merely a puppet for the Totalitarian State of Red Tide.

The difference between the Central Faction and your nations government is that in the Central Faction, the private enterprises* produces everything the people need(based on supply & demand, as usual) and the government produces everything it and the military needs.
*In this case, however, the private enterprises in question would be near-exclusively Red Tidean or Stoklomolvi. Exceptions might be made for Red Tide friendly nations.

Il Korean News Network
The channel played the usual commercials circulating over and over again as the news station went on its usual commercial breaks. The day had started off rather quiet, with the usual talks of the stock market, weather, and some up and coming political elections.
A commercial advertising investment in gold was playing when it was immediately interrupted.
The screen returned to the news reporter who began talking.
"We have some breaking news for our viewers. It seems that the nation of Stokmolovi has broken out in a civil war with numerous factions forming all over the vast country. The President has in fact decided to support the Liberal Faction, in hopes of bringing freedom to the citizens of Stokmolovi."
The screen flipped to a video of a large Naval Expeditionary Group.
"The President has authorized the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, which is comprised of the 2nd Marine Division, the 2nd and 3rd Airwings, and the 2nd Marine Logistics Group. The Navy has provided its 2nd Fleet to help provide further air support as well."
As the news aired, the Marines began their preparations for the campaign. The 2nd MEU, that was currently out at sea was ordered to begin traveling towards the western portion of Stokmolovi. Along with the 2nd MEU, the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion and the Army's 3rd Special Forces Group were also called up to perform reconnaissance operations within the country.

Is Alexei the leader of the Communist Faction? Also where is Nikolay, I would assume if he was in the Capital, he would have been captured by the Communists, or close to being so, right? Or is the capital in Liberal territory, it's hard to tell, right on the line like that.

Many aren't going to be happy with this choice, but either way, some people would be upset, unless of course we supported the Fascist Faction, then everyone would be upset. So, put us under the communist list, the relationship between Edwardo and Alexei surviving long after Edwardo's death, in the harts and minds of 35% of a nation, and their Emperor.

If not for the sane cautious "overthrow one Soviet/Fascist/Capitalist Pig at a time" IC policy of the Confederacy, which basically translates into "Whenever possible, avoid more than a single front and than a single war", I would join. Should this still be going on after I finish the long-termed "Fall Schwarz", I'll certainly come in for the warm beer and cold BBQ of the party.
Could you reserve an "Anarchists" faction? It will only happen for real once they mobilize their own People's War, which will not be anytime soon.
Also, I logically no longer expect Stoklomolvi to bring support to Soviet Spain. A part of me is glad, while another is disappointed because it'll be less challenging.

If liberal left-ism caused this much of a stir in Stoklomolvi, I doubt they've even heard of capitalist conservatism. Stoklomolvi is an ex-hardline communist dictatorship, I doubt conservative capitalism has had a secret following of tens of millions who just happened to be in more or less the same are. But ultimately it's up to Stok.
But really though, is this whole Reagan/conservatism thing not just an attempt to fit in with the /d/ crowd?
Not particularly. My nation is being pulled more to the right to prepare for an upcoming change of my government into an authoritarian democracy.
In response to your post on page four, I think I'll leave it here. Starting my own faction would be the wrong thing to do, I was looking for a quick bit of RP. Since my embassy is in a communist-controlled compound, it looks like it won't happen - please keep me informed if you can. Thanks

Cazelia, you may start your own faction as I said in the TG, but some factions will gain different supporters than others. Picts is correct; there is no way that anyone in Stoklomolvi is going to change directly into a pure USian democratic capitalistic state in a heartbeat, but will go from extreme authoritarian communism to liberal communism, and from there transfer to liberal capitalism. It's a slow process, but Nikolay made the grave mistake of doing it too quickly.

Having to divert the routes would hit trade to a massive area of the world, since journey times would have to be increased by weeks.
So, I'll be running the airshipping routes there, with additional convoy guards. Any factions wishing to try some air piracy, go ahead. Shooting them down will be no point because the crash will destroy all on board, which can amount to hundreds of millions of dollars worth.
Alright?

Okay, so should be able to raise a decent fighting force, 250,000 men strong. Nothing really pretty, maybe some uniforms, a M14 or an AR-15A2 in their hands, and plenty of Ammo. Limited by equipment ships could carry. Do you think the communists could supply us with any weapons, for volunteers. They will most likely be more supportive than the regular troops, as they have chosen to live in Stoklomolvi under the previous regime, and therefore were most likely okay with it.

Okay than, plan B, we raise more troops, by taking weapons from soldiers who have been killed from other factions. Thus illuminating supply lines, take everything from the enemy, food, water, ammo. Helmets and body armor even. Best way to fight a war, as long as you are killing the enemy, your troops are well suppled.

Kill one solder who is alone, with a rock, sharpened stick, kitchen knife, or bear trap, take his weapon, you are now a solder in the service of the Beatusian Military, report to [such and such location] with your new rifle, and you will be integrated into a makeshift regiment to be deployed when needed. Minimal training will be needed, using a rifle is something that every Beatusian learns in High School, it's part of the required curriculum. And while we may not have any publicly funded schools, the Military enforces the laws that state, that every child must attend a school, and that every school must meet government mandated minimums, such as use of a rifle. See, we don't need to fund education, because the demand for it is so high, that the private sector sees a profit, and meets the demand. Demand being so high, because parents who do not send their child to school are executed. :D Pumping money into the military makes it easy to run a nation, and get the private sector to take care of everything :p

"Only famous symbol of fascism"? Are you kidding me? The sigrunen are just as famous as the hakenkreuz. But at the same time are less controversial. If you want a more "pure" less "nazi" fascist symbol you might as well make the flag an image of the fascist lictoriae, from Italy, where Mussolini was making use of fascism when Hitler was still a paper-hanger!

Is there a large city in Western Stoklomolvi, where Beatusian Forces can set up a command center? We would be looking for a hotel, not to big, less than three stories, but very extravagant, we would of course pay the standard rate for every room in the hotel.

Muscovy, but it's still under siege. The only other large city in Western Stoklomolvi is Murmansk, though even then it's rather small. Vilnius could work, but at the moment its under siege by liberals.

Okay, so than, Vilnius it will be, just going to need to break the siege. The Ambassador is already in the area, so he could have a staging point setup, in Kaunas maybe, a place where Beatusian nationals are being told to gather. The ships can make port at Klaipėda right? Then weapons can be quickly shipped to the waiting forces being mustered in Kaunas, and we can push to either break the siege of Vilnius, or temporarily overwhelm the liberals at one strategic point, to get forces into the city.

Yes, Клайпеда is an available dock, though it's smaller than Оулу, the main port. Клайпеда, of course, is closer, but landings could be rough due to liberal and imperialist influence in the area.

Of course. They all have cheap Type 8 SMGs, stats for which can be found in my storefront.

Good, because our weapons are low. The bad news is, casualties with the Stoklomolvi Irregulars will most likely be much higher than with Beatusian forces during the assault on the city. They are the ones who know the area best, and can best blend in, so they will be undertaking the most dangerous parts of the operation. Also, to prevent any kind of strife, the Beatusian and Stoklomolvi irregulars will be organized separately. Don't want our own people fighting each other over something trivial. So, I take it these Stoklomolvi will be under my control, right?
Stoklomolvi
17-09-2008, 07:15
Correct. If one division is 10,000 men for simplicity, then you would have 200 Irr. Divisions at your disposal. You command them, correct.
I'm using them. Commies use it against the liberals, but the liberals don't use them because they feel that it is immoral.
Talk for yourself. I intend to make this war quite chemical.
About irregulars, would it be realistic for the Cottish army to recruit a bunch of them for "local guides" and other cannon fodder purposes?

I plan to recruit any ethnic Vetalians in to the Tiger Legion, so any breakdown of the ethnic situation in Stoklomolvi would be appreciated.
Stoklomolvi
17-09-2008, 22:18
Bushdome, you can go to "Finland" and drop off your troops in Oulu.
Liberals in Stoklomolvi don't like chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. If you use them, they will not like you. Communists are more of the realists. They say that "ends justify the means."
Irregulars are more patriotic citizens who fight for something they believe in. The only reason that the Beatus gained irregulars is because the liberals flattened the city they were living in. If you want, you can try to recruit locals to help guide you.
Vetalia, just read my factbook. I don't believe that Vetalians live in Stoklomolvi, since in comparison to Vetalia Stoklomolvi is a pile of horseshit.

You can form your own faction, I have no opposition to that. However, try to emulate one of the posts on the front page. A few sentences describing it, and a list of supporters.

Note to all: the factions may now use strategic nuclear weapons on each other, but on nobody else and nobody else can. This does not limit tactical nuclear weapons.

When did that option become available? More accurately, who caused it to become available?
Stoklomolvi
19-09-2008, 03:05
Greal's invasion of a very weak imperialist state that owned almost nothing incited it to deal damage with nukes. One of the two nukes flattened Muscovy. I can only use limited nuclear weapons on the factions, and vice versa. It's more of a "spice" sort of thing.

20-09-2008, 01:38
Sorry about overstepping the bounds with the bomber thing, but I figured there was, really, nothing that could be done to stop a B-2. And you keep bringing up your AA capabilities, etc. As I argued before, nothing is going to be as effective now during this civil war as it would have been under a single unified government...
Stoklomolvi
20-09-2008, 01:44
I never argued the fact that everything is in chaos, for everything is indeed in chaos. There are constant skirmishes between all factions, though that does not mean that the command structure has collapsed. Remember that the entire military and police forces, which constitute over 340 million manpower, are under command of the communists, though they are largely inactive. And yes, I do have AA capabilities, however ineffective they are.
I am not against your launching of nukes. The only thing that I have a problem with is not agreeing on something first. You just appeared completely undetected and launched nukes, which is godmodding. At least give me a chance to respond.
Thrashia
20-09-2008, 01:54

I can barely remember what I did in CompSci today, much less what we talked about over MSN. I would very much appreciate it if you could rewrite the bomber portion of your post so that I actually have something to respond to.

If you want me to remove the nuke part, then I can resort to tactics that are more...even(?) in terms that you'd have a better chance to retaliate against than B-2 stealth bombers wielding nuclear warheads.

Korea, you godmoded. Simple. You said that you instantly appeared in my "main operations centre" and blew it up with a dirty bomb. You could have sent a B2 bomber like Thrashia did, you could have just sent waves of infantry, or just given me something to respond to with your secret agents. You had no detail in your post describing them at all. You did not specify what equipment they had, what transportation, what language, what appearance, etc. These are vital for special operations, especially in a xenophobic community.
Il Korea
21-09-2008, 05:50
Go ahead and void it. How are you going to say to another poster on here that liberals don't use chemical warfare? That's like saying the only country in RL to use a nuclear bomb was japan...
Stoklomolvi
21-09-2008, 05:54
Eh? The liberals don't use chemical warfare because right now they have that mentality that it's too immoral and too inhumane. Eventually, they'll smarten up and use them, but for now they're going to be at a disadvantage. Think of it akin to the Brits and the Frenchies at the start of WWI. The Germans were pwning using whatever they had, until there was a stalemate. The Germans started using gas. The Brits and the Frenchies waited for a bit, and then started using gas.
Now, Korea, if you could be more negotiable like Thrashia, I'm sure we can reach an agreement. Frankly, right now I'm going to say that you blew up the wrong building.

21-09-2008, 13:32
@ Stok, I was hoping to have some kind process where EA and the liberals came to an understanding, which is why I stated I have special forces in country as they're relative easy to infiltrate and make contact with the liberal leadership.
There's really no ICly reason at this point for EA to get involved in the civil war unless a long term political agreement is agreed with the liberals. It is not EAs policy to invade or conquer territory. To be up front, EA may, if it feels it is in its long term interest, support the formation of a breakaway liberal state and provide the liberals the means to do it.
Like Sarrowquand, it's not clear how we could get anything into theatre anyway without the agreement or help of neighbouring states or a faction (hint, liberals).

The liberals would welcome any aid from Sarrowquand or EA, no doubt about it. All you guys have to do is ask.

21-09-2008, 19:05
The land that you just conquered is now under fascist control. Thus, fascist. The imperialists to the north were cut into, but not much really happened. I'm attempting an encirclement.
Essentially, you charged in from the west, which drew liberals to fight you, and then I cut in from the east, which in turn drew liberals, and in the end the liberals were just crushed in the middle and stuck in (Tank Rush) Kekekegrad. The imperialists lobbed a nuke at the liberals because they thought they were invaded by liberals, but the invaders were actually my forces. The liberals launched more nukes, exploding in Ukraine, and the imperialists stood down. Right now, the liberals are holed up in Kekekegrad with my men and your men stuck along a big front.

I never said that. In your post, you assumed that all of my tanks were unsophisticated. In reality, a small portion are Type 5s, while most are either Type 88 or T-72 tanks. I just grouped them together since it would just be a big mass of tanks anyway.
