OOC; Bardar was created through a war of liberation against their Northern neighbour, the PFF, in Bardar known as the Opressors. The PFF is a Communist nation that lately has been driven to the verge of collapse by inner force. However in Bardar this situation has presented an opportunity all Bardarians have wished for for a long time; Revenge!!

IC; At 6 PM today, Bardarian time, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Flying Leopard Brigades has crossed the border, supported by the Air Cavalry. PFF defences collapsed almost at once. Since then the PFF has have problems regrouping. The Bardarian offensive was sudden and unexpected.

"Citizens of Bardar! The day is here! The day we take our revenge on the Opressors have begun! Our brave warriors have pushed over the border! We will liberate the Bardarian enclaves in Jelek valley, we will help our brothers; the Bezelians to get independence from the Opressors! We will bring our devastating justice upon the wicked Jogrians and Herrians! The Leopard has roared! Long Live Bardar! Long Live the queen!"

Radio and TV speech by Asmolach II, Prime Minister of Bardar, Patriarch of the Church of Bardar.

From; The histroy of the Central Eastern Regions;

"One could think that the People's Freedom Federation would have expected and even been prepared for an offensive from the South, but the truth is they were caught with their pants down. The People's Army had gone through several reforms, but the structure was still rotten, people of different ethnicities did not trust each other, the generals did not trust each other, and many whom were commanded to the front promptly decided not to show up. The Jogrians had lost the support from many of the other peoples, and far away in Jagishpala the government feared uprisings closer to home, and neglected the war altogether. The once mighty Stalinist Empire showed it's true face as nothing but a corrupt structure of bureacrats and independent generals pretending to be a country."

Press Release from Asmolach II, Prime Minister of Bardar, Patriarch of the Church of Bardar;

Our troops has liberated Jelek Valley and our brothers living there has joined our ranks, meanwhile the Jogrian and Herrian settlements have been uprooted and these wicked people has faced our divine vengeance. Jelek Valley is liberated from Opressors. News that our Bezelian cousins have risen up against opression and desired an alliance with us has reached the Royal Government. Long Live Bardar! Long Live the Queen!

Thoughts about the Bardarian offensive;

My guess is there's not much love for the Stalinist regime in the PFF, and many nations would probably rather turn the other way and completely ignore the current situation. And why not, the People's Liberation Army conducted terrible crimes against humanity during their long occupation of Bardar and neighboring nations. There is also a strong understanding for Bardar's position and the hatred of Jogrians and Herrians. These particular groups were guilty of the most hideous crimes in Bardar. But the question we must ask is; Is revenge alright? Is it okay for Bardar to behave like this and attack their neighbor and probably deport and kill Herrian and Jogrian civilians. The Jelek Valley is a good example, sure 45% of the population there are Bardarians, and Bardar tried to incorporate the valley already in the Liberation War, but what about the 55% of the population that are Jogrians, Herrians and Yawgalians. Bardar surely has no plan to intergrate them in Bardar. So what will happen? What is already happening?? Well, the Bardarians have no love for the groups that opressed them, and are still called "The Opressors". Bardar has proclaimed the campaign a "Campaign of Revenge". The ethnic cleansings have begun?? So, the question is will we stay silent, and ignore the suffering because of our conformity in seeing the PFF government humiliated, or will we take action and do what's right and condemn the Bardarian offensive and behavior??

Press Release from General Theselek Hagreis;

"The glorious heroes of Bardar have reached the River Styx and together with our Bezelian brothers sat up a defensive wall against the wicked enemy. The offensive is over, our brave army will not cross the river. Meanwhile our divine justice and wrath has been brought on the wicked Herrians of the villages of Geleka and Fius, and the Jogrians of the 9 villages in the Hizcalian circle. The city of Gasulas have been liberated from Herrian and Jogrian filth and is now in the hands of our brave Bezelian brothers! Long Live our holy Revenge! Long Live the Queen!"

Press Release from General Theselek Hagreis;

"Today we brought justice to all those killed in gas attacks during the Oppression! We tested our own supply of Sarin gas today with satisfactory results. We brought or revenge on the Herrians in city of Jillger, a home of many of the bastards who tried to kill us all! Today they felt the hand of vengeance fall upon them, and justice was served! Long Live Bardar! Long Live the Queen"!!

OOC: Is this closed? If it is, I'll delete this post.

IC:

The Generalissimo swivled around in his chair as he read the report coming from Bardar.
"Where are these guys?" he asked the older man next to him, his secretary of state, Steven Grimmeberger.
"No idea. I've never heard of them. Why?"
"Because there are reports of genocide coming from there after their recent offensive."
"Oh shit."
"Exactly. I think you should type a response, Steven."
"Yessir."
So the Secretary of State sent a diplomatic communication to Bardar.


From the Desk of Generalissimo Andrew C. Filie

To Whom it May Concern in the Bardarian Government

It has recently come to our attention that you launched an offensive into the PFF, a country adjacent to your own. While not objectionable in of itself, we are unsure as to what prompted the sudden burst in military activity.

However, we have also recieved disturbing news, both from your own press releases, and from our independent observers, that brutual ethnic cleansing is occuring in the occupied territories. This is no way for civilized people to behave. For this reason, we must ask you to cease and desist. Due to the gravity of the situation, if you should refuse to comply with our request, economic sanctions shall be levied against you, and any diplomatic staff or Federal citizens shall be evacuated from your country. Beyond that, response shall be determined as events warrent.

Generalissimo Andrew C. Filie
Head of State, Fanboyist Federation of North Atlantic Territories

Official reply to the Fanboyist government from the Prime Minister's Office;

The offensive is a legal operation to bring our revenge for centuries of Jogrian and Herrian opression of our people. It is also a Holy War of liberation to liberate Bardarians still living under foreign tyranny and to help our brothers the Bezelians to create their own nation. The aim is to occupy the territory south of River Styx and ensure a revenge for all those who were brutally murdered during the PFF occupation of Bardar. Herrians and Jogrians are guilty of terrible crimes, and it is our right to bring justice.

Asmolach II, Prime Minister of Bardar, Patriarch of the Church of Bardar

From; The History of the Eastern Central Regions:

"The irony behind the Bardarian military was that it pretty much was armed with old PFF equipment. Things the PFF had left after being pushed out during both the Liberation War and the War of Patriotism, and a lot of things stolen or bought on the black market. The Bardarian Air Cavalry consisted almost entirely of stolen MIGs from the PFF hangars. One could say Bardar had armed themselves with both the weapons and the attitudes of their former masters. One should not forget that the Bardarian Chemical Weapons Project was based on material the PFF had left behind them, which originally was going to be used on the Bardarians. Irony can sometimes hurt, a lot."

Filie scratched his head, utterly befuddled. "I've never seen anyone actually try to justify genocide. They usually just deny its happening."

From the Desk of Generalissimo Andrew C. Filie

To Whom it May Concern in the Bardarian Government

Due to your flagrant disregard for human life and your apalling view of justice, the Federation has seen fit to impose full economic sanctions against your nation. Henceforth, all trade to and from Bardar with the Federation is illegal.

Further action is pending.

Press Release from General Theselek Hagreis;

"Our operation today has mostly being shelling some Opressor Bastards that were involved in suspicous operations on the other side of the River Styx. We have also left some areas in the western parts of our occupied zone in the hands of the new free Bezelian militia. The cowards of the PFF have not showed any will to resist our glorious operation. Long Live the Queen!"

Comrade Fastier swore loudly. His request for air support had been denied in Jagishpala. He had heard Comrade Fidrelis should arrive with reinforcements, but if he acctually were coming he should have arrived by now. It seems his troops were alone. The humiliating retreat to the other side of the River Styx would never had happened under Comrade Raskol's command. Comrade Fastier had served under the man himself and fought those stinking Bardarian Mountain Worshippers before, but even Raskol had always been defeated in the end. And to think Raskol would be declared a "Enemy of the Proletariat" and executed was unforgivable by those beureaucrats in Jagishpala. Now they showed their incompetence again, not seeing how severe the situation is. He already knew all the Bezelians under his command had deserted and joined the Bezelian freedom movement, but for how long would he be able to keep the Herrians from deserting, or the Yglians?? If the Jogrians suddenly would be left alone, they'd be chasen by enemies all the way to Jagishpala. But the Party Elite don't see it that way, in their minds it doesn't reaaly matter if more territory is lost, as long they are safe in the capital. The once mighty Jogrian Empire, the PFF was crumbling, and Comrade Fastier felt that he might live to see it fall.

Press Release from Asmolach II;

"I have been in touch with the Bezelian Patriarch Gredeles Pazur and their militia leader Hylias Kagelek. Our Bezelian brothers will proclaim the Archduchy of Bezelia in their new capital Bezelopus today. We rejoice the bravery of our great brothers, and their resolve to stand against tyranny. The Bezelian government is willing to proclaim a steady bond of alliance and friendship with our nation, for which we are grateful."

Announcement from the Bezelian government;

"The new sovereign nation of Bezelia has decided to strengthen our bonds with our allies and brothers in Bardar and declare Her Royal Highness Barazene I Archduchess of Bezelia. Thus establishing a Personal Union between Bezelia and Bardar. Long Live the People! Long Live the Archduchess!"

Bezelian National Council

Press release from Asmolach II;

"We have now officially annexed the Jelek Valley and welcomed our Bardarian brothers to the glorious Bardarian Kingdom. Meanwhile discussions with our Bezelian brothers regarding our just and strong personal union with our great queen Barazene I as leader of two people has taken place in Bezelopus. Long Live Bardar! Long Live the Queen!"

Comrade Fastier spat. Yesterday all Herrian soldiers under his command defected and proclaimed the Herrian People's Republic. Immidiately ethnic cleansing not unlike those that were going on south of River Styx had started against Jogrians, and all Jogrian military personal had immidiately been declared "enemies of the People". He and the rest of the Jogrians were now fleeing. He swore loudly. The Jogrian soldiers still under his command all considered mutiny, he knew it. No one wanted to be a part of the great People's Liberation Army anymore. He needed to give them a new purpose. He gathered them and declared; "The officials in Jagishpala do not deserve to rule our Jogrian Socialist Nation". We shall march to Jagishpala and create a true Proletarian Republic of the Army! No more shall military needs be ignored and soldiers be left to starve. From now the military will lead the nation! let this be the beginning of the Jogrian Proletarian Military Republic!" The soldiers cheered, Comrade Fastier had just given them new hope.

From; The History of the Eastern Central Regions;

"The genocides that followed the Bardarian invasion was just the beginning of the changes in the region. The PFF completely collapsed after all the different ethnic groups started to go their own way, one of the sucessors the Herrian People's Republic remained extremely hostile towards the new Bardarian- Bezelian union. They claimed a lot of lands south of River Styx as their own and were vocal in the claims of ethnic cleansing and genocide on the Bardarian controlled territory. But they were hopelssly involved in a war versus another strong remnant of the PFF, the Jogrian Proletarian Military Republic lead by the former general on the Bardarian front; Comrade Fastier. His military Communist regime actively fought the seceding nations with the aim of preserving Jogrian dominance. However for Bardar the important changes were the annexation of Jelek Valley and the union with the Archduchy of Bezelia. Bardar had suddenly became a regional power, and the young nation fast adapted to ot's new role in geopolitics. The reforms and buildup of Bardar could easily be said th have it's origin in this offensive. One could say that everything that happened after this point had to do with how succesfully Bardar had been able to enforce their will without foreign intervention. The leopard had indeed roared."
