Third Spanish States

I rarely touch the realm of what could be considered "diplomatic RPs" because they rarely have the Bismarckian grade of trickery that should exist in international politics, specially considering NS, and thus are rarely interesting. Regardless, this should be my first try.

Run-of-the-mill terrorists attacks, shootings, throwing airplanes against buildings in kamikaze strikes, releasing biological and chemical weapons, killing someone and making it look like an accident, trying to incite a war, betrayals, alliances of convenience and "having your enemies close and your enemies closer" is allowed, as long it doesn't consist in a poorly written one-paragraph long first post without any proper justification involving cookie-cutter characters and ridden with grammar errors. I don't like restricting a RP unrealistically, and considering Third Spanish States is anarchic, it's quite feasible for crap to hit the fan, even though they never did "acts of imperialism" that would fuel terrorism. And of course, the fact that every passerby would likely draw a gun to attempt stopping a killer and a manhunt would begin through the entire island should be taken into account before going rogue. The 12 Gauge mob justice system of Third Spanish States might be questionable, but it is very effective.
As for where it'll be. Lets just say that balls aren't very popular in the Confederacy, and most places where similar events happen aren't very... prudish. Instead, a large, luxurious resort for tourists in a particularly uninhabited area in the west coast called The Arena of Joy, featured by sports areas which include fencing, soccer, basketball, tennis and many others, and for the clinically insane, downright suicidal or those looking to settle their differences in the "old way"(which are coincidentally the "target audience" of such infamous establishment), a deathmatch arena, which is essentially a realistic-looking mock-up battlefield that could serve as a paintball arena, except live ammunition and real guns are used instead. Of course, everybody must sign a term of responsibility before entering.
No need of official invitations, because there is not much of what could be considered official in the first place. Instead post here if you wish to join. I'll consider a case per case basis. Beth Gellert and other members of the CCCO are automatically in if they wish.
