The notice was put out to the nations of the world in the form of a diplomatic communique from the War Ministry of the Commonwealth:


To the leaders of the world,

If this communique has been sent, then the results of the Coup d'etat have been a success.

The forces of democracy and the military have succeeded in toppling the unjust and cruel reign of Prime Minister (Curoro premu) Marso Arelesi, and he is being held in military custody.

We ask that the nations of the world support this action, and support the new government in solidifying freedom to the nation.

As such, we are also changing the official name of the country, the Commonwealth of Faleska (Rispufelo Halisiai) to the Faleskan Commonwealth (Rispufelo Halisu).

--Imperadoro Sisoro Juli--


In the meantime, many Commonwealth television stations were showing protesters waving signs and chanting things such as
"Viatai conte lifertai molam! Ordinaroi recto restira!" (We prefer life to liberty! Restore the rightful regime!).

<OOC> No takers... none at all...?

OOC: It looks promising but my nation is currently in a regional war. Anyhow, I hope somebody comes around and aids you.

OOC: how corrupt was the old regime. Like in real terms, not in new regime propaganda? btw, this wont affect our ic decision, we're gonna support the new regime.

<OOC> Civil rights were intact, political rights were non-existent. Public religion was banned. It was a neo-socialist state.

To: The new regime of the nation of Faleska
From: The Republic of United Gordonopia

This issue has been brought up in an emergency session of parliament, called mainly for the purpose of war against the nation of North Defese. In that session, our parliament has decided to recognize your new regime as a legitimate nation. Should any nation threaten you, we shall defend you if it is within our capability.

<IC>

Representatives from 6 provinces today declared that if the the previous regime is not restored, they would secede and form their own federation.

In response, the government in Halisa has declared that martial law in the rebelling provinces is to be declared, with divisions being moved to the insurgent areas in order to quash all attempts and secession.

Rhætic Provincial Minister Antono Heloni (Curorosun Profense Raeticai Antono Heloni) declared that troops of the illegitimate government will be treated as hostiles and will be attacked by local militia if they invade.

ooc: Seriously don't do this or it'll turn into this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=578085)

<OOC> I have every intention of keeping it more limited than that. No troops were requested for assistance, only acknowledgment or not.

TO Sisoro Juli,

I am deeply troubled by the recent turn of events that you seemed to have orcheastrated in the Commonwealth of Faleska. Not only do I look down upon those who wish to cause anarchy and topple what little civility is left in this world, but I can hardly abide a military regime in my corner of the world and maintain my reputation as well, can I?

As for your claims of freeing the populace of the "unjust and cruel reign of Prime Minister Marso Arelesi," I think the reaction of the people in question more than settles the question of whether you are really doing anyone a favor.

I would recommend you do all in your power to right the wrongs you have done and beg forgivness but...
You have clearly gone past the point of no return and I think you'll agree that, should your coup fail, all that lies in your future is a firing squad. And so I issue this warning to you: You are on thin ice Mr. Juli, if not already on the way to the water's depths. And DT military police are excellent shots.

P.S. Have you by any chance discovered oil in your burgeoning nation recently? I think I might have a friend who you'd like to meet.

Sporatic fighting has broken out in the major cities of the Commonwealth between insurgents and soldiers loyal to the new regime. In Halisa and Halera, troops have all but eliminated insurgencies, though in farther provinces from Haleria, troops are still fighting steadily, particularly in the municipalities of Cafena and Tarcena, and insurgents have uncontested control in the city of Weia and the county of Saera.

In official news reports from Halisa, reports were that government forces had secured all major population centers and the leaders of the insurgency had been eliminated [1], whilst several underground news reports declared that even in the capitals of Halisa and Halera, insurgents held an upper hand [2].


[1]
Reports from police declare that the insurgency in Weia and Cafena has been eliminated, with the heads of the insurgency having been eliminated. Over seven hundred insurgents have been killed, and the Commonwealth government has declared that it is unwise to support the insurgency.

Nuntoi de presidorom renuntant fun insurresao in Weiae ec Cafenae set sassatu cu ducorom insurresai son sassantu. Insurroro seftsentoi prosi son mortantu ec ordinaro rispufelu renuntavit fun safenu alatat set.
[2]
Liberators in Halisa have struck a blow with the capture of two rebel Colonels, and the rightful government has retaken hold of the cities of Weia and Saera with very little bloodshed. The movement to free Faleska requires your assistance in the city of Wulisa, where rebel forces have been massacring innocent people. Long live Faleska!

Lifertoroi in Halisae cu eccipoi capitenom insurresi dui fellavu ec ordinaro rectu du urfa Weiae ec Saerae cu cruntaoi minemo lifertavu. Promomo Halesiaoi liferta asilimoi ti in urfoi Wulisae ecam, cuo cofifoi insurru plefom insonto trusidavu. Halisia viata lenga!

Bulgislavia has released a statement to the world!

The Peoples Socialist Republic of Bulgislavia refuses to recognize the new and illigitimate government of the traitors of Faleska. We urge the release of your political prisoner, the rightful Prime Minister Marso Arelesi and that all his titles and functions be restored to him immediatly. We have issued travel ban's banning anybody associated with the illigitimate military regime to ever enter Bulgislavian Territory and have also refused to enter in any trade deals with the illigitimate regime. It is clear that the people are against this new forum and refuse to even recognize it themselves.

PRESS RELEASE
DENOMINATION OF FOREIGN DIPLOMACY
GREATER ECONOMIC UNION OF NEW MANTH

Too many nations in the world labor under the yoke of authoritarianism and socialism, in too many corners of the world tyranny and repression shamelessly flaunt their power. Too rare is it to see evil regimes toppled, too often are they finally purged only through the fires of war, with all the destruction and loss of innocent life that must result. To see a people rise up and cast off their yoke is therefore a sight rare and precious.

Today a people has cast off that yoke; soldiers, politicans, and democrats have united to tear down the wretched apparatus of socialism. We in the Union have fought our own battles with socialism, and so to see fellow-soldiers emerging is a special honor.

Therefore with all haste we announce that the Greater Economic Union has today formally recognized the Faleskan Commonwealth as a sovereign and independent state, and the transitional government headed by Sisoro Juli as the fully legitimate and legal government. We congratulate the people of Faleska on this historic occasion.

As Faleska today begins its life as an independent state, the Union pledges friendship and partnership through the times ahead.

<OOC> No takers... none at all...?

OOC: You haven't really provided much justification for the coup or told us what the old regime was like, or what the new one will be like. Why was there a coup? Without knowing the ideology behind such, few are tempted to participate.

Official Statement issued in response to a previous release by the Greater Economic Union of New Manth

The Sacrosanct Unholy Sultanate of Deserted Territories is despondent to see rising support for the bastard child government of the recent coup in the Commonwealth of Faleska. Clearly this take over was not inspired by an oppressed people yearning for freedom, but by the raw allure of power. It is appauling that any nation would support anarchists toppling a functioning government purely for their own interests. The reaction sof the people of Faleska are more than enough to convince the Deserted Territories that this coup was unheeded and unjust.

Furthermore, The Sultan would like to note that the "soldeirs, politicians, and democrats" the Greater Economic Union of New Manth so affectionately refers to are not so much "a people casting off their yoke." They are more a single man with a gun who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner and is using that new status to sieze what is not rightfully his and slay all those who oppose him. It has been mere days since the coup and already this new government has killed 700 people in a just two cities.

The Deserted Territories will not stand to have a military regime rampaging around. If any more actions are made towards attacking the citizens of the Commonwealth that have managed to resist so far, DT will have no choice but to get involved.

"They're coup'ing?" The President asked.

"The Military is yes sir, the people seem to like it the way things were." Kate Harper responded.

"Ok, which way do we like?"

"Well one is a dictatorship that barcodes people and the other is a military regime in The North Pacific... so really, neither." Leo McGarity said.

"Ok what do they want?"

"Recognition." Kate responded.

"Yea, ok. How about we give them a travel advisory and keep an eye on the situation. " Bartlet said.

"Aye Sir"


Official Memorandum

Due to political and military unrest at travel level of "advisory" has been issued for The Commonwealth of Faleska and it's territories.

<OOC> I have every intention of keeping it more limited than that. No troops were requested for assistance, only acknowledgment or not.

OOC: I think you're going to find that troops have a way of showing up. Requested or not.

ooc: hey deserted territories if you would like to have a scrap over this nation, well if memory serves there is a certain thread in which I am attacking you which has mysteriously failed to move much lately...

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
DENOMINATION OF FOREIGN DIPLOMACY
To the current government of the Deserted Territories

Any troops leaving the Deserted Territories bound for Faleska, or indeed for any other destination, will of course be interdicted and destroyed by the Union Navy. Having spent significant effort so far to prevent your nation from continuing in its piracy, extortion and international thuggery, we can only wonder with bemusement that you expect we would relent now.

USoP Presidential Compound
Office Of The President

"Mr President". Kate said entered the Presidents Office.

"Whats up Kate"

"Interesting development In Falseka sir."

"Go on"

"We intercepted a message from New Manth to the DT. Basically warning them that any troops they were thinking of sending would be interdicted and destroyed by the Union Navy."

Bartlet frowned. A military coup in a fledgling nation just became an arm wrestling match between huge nations. "Well that is interesting, what's in the area?"

"The Atlas battle group is the closest but remember that..." she trailed off. Bartlet's look was enough to tell her she misread his intentions. He had no intention of being drug into this.

"Let my niece know there's trouble brewing and she should get my flagship the hell out of dodge." Bartlet said.

"Yes sir". Kate left.

Bridge of the USPNS Atlas

"Sir a priority message... " a pause while the message is verified... "it's verified"

Captain Angela Bartlett strode across her bridge, she had long become accustomed to being called sir as is the tradition in the USoP Navy for all Captains. She read it and smirked.

"Navigation change of course 095 degrees, Flight Operations advise all pilots that we are to keep a wide berth of any non involved contacts, weapons are not free unless fired upon. "

"Yes Sir!" Navigation and Flight Ops both responded in well rehearsed unison. The orders were relayed to the other ships in the group, the thrusters were applied and the carrier gently turned out to sea."

"Mrs. Prime Minister, it appears that Faleska just had a pro-democratic revolution, in favour of liberty and that," reported the Foreign Minister, Gabriel Pappas. "They've renamed themselves the 'Faleskan Commonwealth'."

Christina Karamanlis laughed. "Another one of these? It usually ends up with a single autocratic ruler in my book. Look at Aploa, that breakaway republic! Freedom and liberty surely weren't top of Karagiozis' list!"

The breakaway republic of Aploa had been founded in the 1970s by a breakaway anti-monarchy movement in a small part of southern Hyrestia. For a few years, it had remained a struggling democracy, until Moses Karagiozis took over and turned into a mad autocracy. He still ruled the thing, too, and was currently exterminating the Jews and Muslims, but nobody in Hyrestia really cared. Truthfully, it wasn't their problem.

"Well, we can hardly say that in the communication," grinned Pappas. The acknowledgements of Christina always brought a smile to his face.

"I'll type it up," replied a smiling Christina. "By the way, tomorrow, you can have a day off."

To Imperadoro Sisoro Juli.
From Prime Minister Christina Karamanlis.

It brings me great joy to see that Faleska has entered a new age of democracy and freedom as been stated in the Commonwealth, after the overthrow of the cruel Prime Minister Marso Arelesi.

Our nation is a constitutional monarchy with parliamentary democracy. I am an elected Head of Government, chosen by the people of our nation. Democracy is the way forward for our world, and I am glad to see that Faleska has become a democracy.

However, we wish to warn Faleska. An unwise ruler may take power and destroy your new democracy, and crush your nation. Many a time an evil man - or woman - has taken advantage of a nation in the position of your own, and I hope Faleska does not fall into that trap.

That said, I hope that the new democracy will prosper and freedom leading in the Faleska, and we pledge full support for the new democracy in Faleska.

Yours Sincerely,
Prime Minister Christina Karamanlis.

<OOC> Yes, I used to RP here before with my 4 billion strong nation, though I became bored of it. So I know of the intricacies. Remember the Attican Empire (http://www.nationstates.net/page=display_nation/nation=attican_empire)? And no, they don't interact, and no, neither are members of the WA. I don't enjoy cheating, hence I don't.

[Notice of Mobilization] TO: All concerned nations
FROM: Deserted Territories Department of International Incidents
SUBJECT: Organization of 3rd Strategic Defense Fleet

In response to challenges by New Manth and the continued aggression of the illegitimate government currently controlling Faleska, DT is mobilizing its 3rd Strategic Defense Fleet which includes a Carrier Battle Fleet and three Coastal Defence Task Groups. If the Faleskan rebels do not give up their coup this fleet will set sail to protect those who have stayed loyal. If this fleet is challenged after it sets sail it will respond with force.



Meanwhile U-2 spyplanes departed for stations above Faleska, where they would gather intelligence on the rebel's movements. B-52s loaded with precision standoff weapons entered a state of readiness, taking to the skies around Faleska, in position to support DT peacekeeping forces. V-22 Ospreys with the primary insertion teams headed to a DT occupied territory on the first leg of the trip Faleska. This territory, appropriatly named Land's End, was the northernmost tip of the expansive desert the DT was located in. It jutted into the sea, a peninsula of sand. This would be the staging point for DT forces as the embattled Faleskan city of Wulisa was across the sea and just in range of transports. At just under 450km away, it was within the combat radius of the AH-64 Longbow Apache wing stationed at Land's End.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
DENOMINATION OF FOREIGN DIPLOMACY
To the government of the Faleskan Commonwealth

The Greater Economic Union has been made aware, as no doubt you have as well, that the Sacrosanct Unholy Sultanate of Deserted Territories is preparing to invade Faleska.

The Union would be no more pleased to see your government overthrown, and a puppet state put into power, than we imagine you would be yourselves. Therefore we wish to offer your nation assistance in defending its rightful sovereignty.

Should you accept this offer, the Union military is prepared to commit substantial assets to your defense. Light infantry formations are being prepared to be deployed to Faleska by air, so that they may arrive as quickly as possible and begin both preparations for defense against invasion and operations to secure your home front from remaining loyalists of the old regime.

The Union is also of course prepared to commit heavier ground formations and naval and air assets; however as the bulk of such forces must travel by sea they will unavoidably take longer for them to arrive, and they may be vulnerable to enemy naval action should there be any overly large delay in setting out.

Due to this particular factor, as well as to the need to organize the more general logistical support for an overseas mission and to begin preparing for a possibly drawn-out conflict, we must politely insist on a speedy response.

Regards

The view over the sea was clear that day and Alexander Halburton could see the Faleskan mainland as soon as it had come in range over the horizon. His command was a 44ft commercial fishing boat, painted white with barnacles on its hull and outriggers reaching to the sky on either side.

Its hull was full of fine fish, but as Alex descended into the ship, he wasn't going to check the fish. Years ago, back before the situation with New Manth, the Deserted Territories had luanched a secret fleet of listening posts and propoganda distribution vessels disguised as fishing vessels (link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=558899)). The Barking Barnacle, Alex's ship, was one of these.

Perhaps some of these boats had violated the terms of the peace agreement with New Manth, but that was neither here nor there. Plus, to be fair, the majority of them had disbanded, their services no longer needed with the war being over. But a select few had stayed in operation. And the Barking Barnacle was one of them. It had recieved orders to set sail for Faleska back at DTs first denouncing of the new government.

Now, Halburton and his crew would be the first DT agents to land. The Barking Barnacle steamed on, anteannas hidden in the rigging on the outrunners powering down as they moved towards port.

FEDERATION OF DELVIRA POLITBURO RELEASE STATEMENT

We are very upset about the situation that has happened in the nation of Faleska, our nation does NOT recognize this new regime, in response we demand that you end your regime and reinstall Marso Arelesi as leader. Marso Arelesi is a very recognized man in our nation and a respected one, his choices were only considered "vile" and "corrupt" by those of the ignorant capitalist democratic fools around the world. To us, he is but only a new leader taking responsibility and we will send in our best political advisors to better enhance his regime.

Failure to do so will result in invasion, please think it over. We do not tolerate terrorists.
