The Savnica Cartel and the Red Dynasty Syndicate today signed a peace agreement with elements of the Savnican Unit 707 to capture the capital of Savnica, Ordenns. The massive offensive by Savnican Cartel and Syndicate (SCS) forces took the entire nation by surprise.

Within 55 minutes, the Savnican military was obliterated by the SCS, who were armed with modern equipment such as F-35 fighters, Leopard 2 Tanks, and M2 Bradleys compared to the Savnican military, most of which were aging soviet equipment. The SCS which now claims itself as the legitimate rulers of Savnica, has now begun a rule by terror with little regard to the safety or welfare of civillians.

Savnica, a nation whose main exports are Cocaine, Cannabis and Oil is one of the first nations to lose the War on Drugs, and the primary source of cocaine for Garmidia, Cape Salisbury and United Anacreon and countless other nations.

GSRN News

In a shocking act today by the leader of the SCS, Lee Fei-Long, Savnica will now produce 60% more cocaine for export.

Savnica, which is the world's leading producer of cocaine is now a kleptocracy with no resistance to SCS rule.

Official communique from the Birkanian government
From: High General Viktor Yulianov
To: Lee Fei-Long
Subject: Drug Exports
Importance: Low. Free for distribution.

The goverment of the Birkanian Commonwealth does not recognize your new goverment, and only considers it nothing but a threat for our great nation. Please stand back from your drug export markets, and we will gladly provide you with the necessary logistics to exploit other resources in your country.
Otherwise, we will find ourselves forced to undergo a chemical bombing campaign targeted at the cocaine crops.

-Viktor Yulianov
President of the Birkanian Commonwealth.

Although we disapprove of the cultivation, usage, and sale of internationally illegal and disdainful narcotics, we do not believe that such warrants a chemical bombing on the coca fields of Savnica. Despite what you Birkainians may believe, such chemicals kill ALL plant life, including those that are not the intended target. Furthermore, runoff of said chemicals and absorbtion into the ground and water supply could further taint the country and it's populace, resulting in much more damage than what was originally intended. We disadvise the use of chemicals in this operation, and will back our stance with full diplomatic and economic sanctions, should any unconventional action be carried out. If you wish to interviene, do it with progressive programs and conventional warfare, not the blind and unwarranted use of powerful herbicides.

To the representatives of the Falkasian goverment, I would like to say that, while chemical bombing does indeed pose a risk, so does the drug market. Drugs finance terrorism on a global scale even on illicit croppings, so a whole country dedicated to cocaine growth will ultimately cost many innocent nations hundreds of thousands of lives. I think that a nation that chose to corrupt the world with these substances can only deserve the consequences -if not far more- brought by the nations that want to secure their safety by uprooting the problem of drug trafficking and terrorism.

THE KINGDOM OF UNITED ANACREON

The Kingdom of United Anacreon will not stand for this. While we will be against the production of more cocaine into the global market, we will not allow any target bombing of cocaine crops being a neighboring nation to Savnica, it would adversely affect us.

We may begin a blockade of Savnica to prevent Savnica from exporting if Savnica will not cease Cocaine production.

To: Birkaine

While your reasoning is honorable, and Savnica aside, what about the potential danger posed to neighboring countries who have nothing to do with Savnica's drug problems? By contaiminating the water tables and rivers of Savnica, you also contaiminate the region's water supply, affecting much more than that of the target's population. That alone is reason enough to avoid the use of herbicides, as any affected country in it's right mind would not stand by and take collateral damage.

To: Whom it may concern

We propose that the General has given a false dilemma, while some drug traffickers may sponsor/support/give credit to terrorism that doesn't mean that all do, nor does it mean that destroying drug trafficking while dry up terrorism dollars. After all terrorist receive money from many legitimate business such as certain oil suppliers, that shouldn't mean that we declare everything a potential terrorist maker instead we should review each case by case and those that do send money should be put down and others that don't harm should let be lest you drive all to extremes...

While we understand that the people of the nation of Savnica would be greatly affected by a herbicidal campaign, one has to take in mind that the drug-fueled goverment of said nation already shows no concern for its own people whatsoever. However, yo do raise a good point, to which I should answer that we are not planning to completely carped-bomb the nation with herbicides, but rather the major crops. Targets close to shared water assets and foreign crops will of course be avoided, and the remaining ones would be bombed from low altitude to avoid the chemicals being spread by the wind to other nations.
While this will mean that many crops will survive, it also means that these crops willr educe their output, and starve the economy of the nation along with your sanctions.

You seem to have been mistaken. Our sanctions are directed at you, if you so choose to continue your planned bombing campaign; not at Savnica.

To: Savnica

The Holy Imperium of Angenteria does not recognize a government headed by a criminal gang-boss. At this point, a domestic embargo on all official Savnican goods is now in effect. We demand that any and all production of illegal drugs cease immediately, or more extreme measures will be taken.

Official Transmmission
FROM: POTOR
TO Savnic
CC: Other Nations involved

The Republic does not recognise a government formed by a coup that reigns terror. We also strongly condem the massive increase of cocaine crops. However it has come to our attention that the Nation of Birkane is intending to chemically attack said coca fields. The Republic feels that a Quarentine of Savnic, that targets drugs and only drugs is a better course of action. Therefore, ten minutes the Republic Navy dispatched a Carrier Group to the area. We call of Birkane, do not go ahead with your attack, instead join us in this Quarentine.

Signed
John White
President of the Republic

Official Response of the Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order

The Order proposes a different method of dealing with the Cartel. We would like to propose the firebombing and salting of confirmed coca/cannabis fields, along with the destruction of the higher-ups of the Cartel organization, followed by a liberation campaign to establish a progressive government. The Order has already decided that it will carry out this operation in 24 hours should no major events occur.

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer.

IC:

Isapolis does not recognize this new government, which has been formed by violence unwarranted and evidently has little, if any care, for the citizens it claims to represent. Isapolis will accept no shipping from Savnica presently.

The ASoGM does not recognize the SCS as a legitimate government, but will not currently take any action against the SCS members in Savnica. However, any SCS vessels that attempt to breach ASoGM water will be boarded. Any crew attempting to smuggle drugs into the ASoGM will be dealt with harshly.

You seem to have been mistaken. Our sanctions are directed at you, if you so choose to continue your planned bombing campaign; not at Savnica.

OOC: I meant that you sanction him, I spray.

Due to the international reaction and that we do not wish to start hostilities with any other country, we will not conduct a chemical bombing campaign, but we propose dispatching a small carrier group to impose a naval blockade on this country until it quits its illicit businesses. Firebombings, as proposed by GWO, are a good alternative.

The Binarian Empire recognizes this sovereign government as the legitiment government of Savnica; and any action taken against it an act of war. We are willing to open our markets to Savnica, in exchange for millitary equipment and backing, we request a share in the profits of your nations narcotics industry. In exchange for this we will provide millitary training and equipment, and an open market from your products.

The Socialist Republic of Fluffywuffy condemns the outrageous international campaign against the Savnica. The Socialist Republic believes that the War on Drugs is a failed policy that leads to such revolutions as this, and will not stand idly by as nations that fuel this trade in drugs wage war on the results of their actions. We stand now with the Binarian Empire in recognizing this new government of Savnica.

Official Communique from the Council of Sovereigns

The Volzgradien Imperial Military would be more then happy to aid in such an operation if it is to be carried out. These drug cartels and gangs of criminals cannot be allowed to rule a formerly free nation and use it as a base to corrupt the citizens of other nations. Such a travesty cannot be allowed to stand and spread. If the Order is willing, a full Chemical Warfare division of approximately 40,000 Volzgradien Imperial Chem Troops can be sent to aid in the termination of the drug trade and the elimination of the cartels in the surrounding area. Naturally, all chemical and incendiary weapons necessary shall be provided by the Empire.

Making "war on drugs" is a form of international thuggery that's often worse than the drugs themselves. What gives Nation A the right to terrorize Nation B for exporting something that's illegal in Nation A?

OOC: I think everybody already disagreed with the use of chems. Though what are you gonna do? land thousands of soldiers who will start spraying chemicals all over? =P I thought normal eradication campaigns were done by air.

OOC: I have a feeling that you people have driven him away. You should all be ashamed. You have scared off a nation with an interesting concept for a nation, at a time when originality on NS is low.

ooc from something i saw before it's a puppet nation Brogavia

Official Communiqué from the Savnican Cartel and Syndicate
The Dominion of Savnica promises to pay back any military support against any blockade or embargo of Savnica with at least 25 tons of pure uncut Savnican Cocaine.

Please keep in mind that the majority of our citizens do support our rule as they have a flourishing healthcare and welfare system due to the SCS rule.

Lee Fei-Long,
Chairman of the SCS.

From: The Expansionist Empire of Crimseia

His Lordship the Benevolent Dictator Wilhelm is enraged by the coup, and more so by the Nations new public drug industry, he now signs with the Nations blockading SCS trade, and will join in on the fire bombing of drug farms despite the protests of other nations.

The Government of Garmidia has issued an economic embargo on Savnica, as the root drug problem in Garmidia comes from Savnica.

Making "war on drugs" is a form of international thuggery that's often worse than the drugs themselves. What gives Nation A the right to terrorize Nation B for exporting something that's illegal in Nation A?

To: Fatatatutti
From: The Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs

What your people don't seem to understand is that drugs were illegal in Nation B, up until the cartels used their vast assets to violently destroy the government and enslave the populace for the purpose of creating more substances. We at the Order believe it is perfectly fine for a nation to do interior drug trading and drug trading with other nations that allow it; however, when crime organizations violently uproot the government to commit atrocities (In the slavery of the populace to create cocaine, etc), the civilized nations of the world must act.

In short, Nation A is going to Nation B to enforce Nation B's own laws.

Along the International Waters Line

The RNS Intrepid lef her Carrier group toward the nations waters. Once on Station they spread out along the line and began to scan for ships.

To: The Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs
From: Fatatatutti

Your response has nothing to do with what we posted.

The question was: What gives Nation A the right to terrorize Nation B for exporting something that's illegal in Nation A? Key word: terrorize. This was in response to threats of mass-defoliation and its possible/probable detrimental effects on those civilians that you are supposedly trying to "help".

In short, our original point was not necessarily against intervention but against the manner of intervention specifically proposed.

To: All Nations Involved
From: Office of Foreign Relations, Takaram

While we do not like when has occurred, the government of Takaram has no choice but to recognize the new government of Savnica. We do hereby impose an embargo of Savnica until such time as cocaine is made illegal in Savnica. We will not, however, support and actions taken by any nation against Savnica, as such an action would only hurt the people of Savnica.

From: Emperor Alexander Kavinkov II

While we understand this message was not leveled at us, we in Volzgrad do feel a certain need to support our ideological allies in the Grand World Order. First of all, what gives the government of Fatatatutti any idea that we are there to help the local populace? We are conducting this mass-defoliation and extermination campaign to ensure that the drug cartels are utterly crushed and have no possible chance of rising and selling their poison again. The civilians are simply expendable if not considered open targets since they allowed the drug runners to rise to power and they are showing no inclination to revolt. We go to Savnica not as liberators but as exterminators.

You exemplify the kind of international thuggery that we spoke out against.

International Waters, near Savnica

While simultaneously feeding PR crap to the nations opposed to intervention in Savnica, the Order had already seen fit to deploy six conventionalized Akula Typhoons and 10 T-212 submarines to prepare to bombard some of the larger production plants. The subs were still preparing to attack, and were loaded with incendiary-laden Sieg missiles.

<<Dzokher 1 trough 10, this is Dankov AFB control tower. Preparations are almost complete. Weather is good.>>
The Birkanians decided to be slightly less subtle than submarines. A whole formation of MB-10 superheavy bombers (http://i39.tinypic.com/2usy82h.png) were being fueled up and loaded with incendiary ordnance. They would fly at their top altitude of 18.000 meters, drop their napalm payload and hope it would hit the crops instead of nearby cities.
The bombers began slowly trudging their way to their operational altitude. The aircraft's performance was already anything but spectacular, but with nearly 60 tons of bombs they became almost unflyable at high altitude. They would be escorted by a single E-3 electronic support craft.

The Socialist Republic of Fluffywuffy absolutely condemns the actions of several nations against the Savnican government as savage and uncalled for. It is the people's right to self determination, the people's right to revolution, and the people's right to grow whatever they please in their lands. Let it be known that the Socialist Republic of Fluffywuffy is considering military intervention in the defense of the government and people of Savnica.

We are considering the deployment of the 2nd and 8th Fleets to the waters of Savnica in order to protect the nation against any further international thuggery. It is our sincerest hope that these forces will deter any other foreign intervention in Savnica, allowing the people to support or rebel against the new government.

To: Fluffywuffy
From: The Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs

The people don't WANT to be subjected to the rule of the cartels. Your point is null.

Allow us to reiterate: it is the people of a particular nation that have the right to national determination, and it is these people who must act for themselves to thwart any tyranny. Our own people rose up and overthrew the Third Empire, and now our people enjoy the enlightened tenants of Socialism. We seek not to export such a government, and we do not impose our will on the peoples of other nations.

By engaging in these aggressive actions against the government of Savnica, the Order is interfering in the people's right to self determination. Should the people find the government unpopular, they will rise up and defeat what they perceive as tyranny. Until such time as that happens, and the people come begging for aid, the Socialist Republic will not stand for any acts of aggression. We ourselves support the growing of all sorts of drugs, but we do not seek to bomb the Order for disallowing such a practice.

Let it be known that, should foreign forces intervene and disrupt the right to self determination, the Socialist Republic will intervene in the conflict.

<<Dzhoker one, we're ready to begin operations.>>
The lead of the bomber formation said, after the last plane had been refueled in midair while leaving Birkaine.
<<Understood, Dzhoker one. Please proceed to the next waypoints and wait for your escort. Kansk out.>> The controller said.
After a few minutes of flying, a squadron of new MB-21A (http://i40.tinypic.com/2qta6ir.jpg) superheavy fighters joined the flight to provide effective escort. While they were designated as fighters by the Birkanian Air Force, everybody knew them simply as arsenal crafts.

================

Not only waiting for their own people to rise up and overthrow the goverment will cost them hundreds of thousands of Savnican lives, but it will also cost thousands of Birkanian ones. We are not here on behalf of the Savnican people, but to destroy those who represent the root of our problem. We hope you all understand, that this is a matter of national security.

Maybe you socialist nutjobs don't realize this, but the good guys don't always win. It might not even be POSSIBLE for the people to resist. If they don't have any firearms, they can't even begin to hope to overthrow the cartels. Perhaps you don't seem to understand that the cartels are equipped with the most modern equipment. Perhaps you don't realize they have unlimited resources.

If a man is put in prison and cannot resist, does that mean he wishes to be there?

2100 Hours, Off the coast of Savnica

Under the cover of a moonless night, the Volzgradien 8th Special Operations Fleet entered the calm waters off of Savnica's coast. At the forefront of the group sailed the massive Sturovny, its mighty prow cutting through the dark waves like butter. On the vessel's flight deck, countless crewmen and pilots scurried to complete their assigned tasks. While they were almost invisible in the darkness, six frigates, four destroyers, and three battlecruisers accompanied the massive aircraft carrier in a spearhead formation. All had been prepared earlier when the fleet had received its orders almost 5 hours past in the Volzgradien ports of Rynibar Colony. The task assigned to the 8th Fleet surprised no one, considering Volzgrad's brutal policy on all forms of drugs. This operation however would be a first to the usually combat oriented Volzgradien Military. Little to no resistance was expected, unless the cartels had somehow managed to procure state of the art aircraft and professional pilots in a matter of days. Needless to say, the operation would be little more then a turkey shoot.

Aboard the Sturovny's bridge, Admiral Zyglav Tornasov sat and rested patiently in his cushioned leather chair. He had been arranging the final details of the operation and leading the fleet for the past 6 hours, and this had understandably fatigued him greatly. Now, he sat gazing at the various monitors mounted in front of him. Overall, everything was going according to plan. No major technical or operational problems had been reported and the waters were clear and calm as far as the Volzgradiens could tell. Indeed, Tornasov doubted anyone else even knew they were here let alone preparing to attack the cartels of Savnica. If all went well, the cartels and their drug fields would be reduced to ash, cinders, and charred corpses within a matter of hours. Even if the plan failed in its main objective the Volzgradien strike force had more then enough weapons and ammunition to level most if not all the identified drug farms and primary facilities.

"Admiral Tornasov, Flight Captain Grinko wishes to have a word with you." squawked the adjutant now standing at full attention beside the admiral.

"Permission granted, speak," Tornasov replied, calmly pressing a small blue button on his command console, "Yes Grinko, what's on your mind?"

"Nothing sir, I am simply reporting that all aircraft have been fully checked and prepped for immediate launch. All pilots and crewmen in good spirits from the sounds of it sir." Grinko responded in his usual monotonous, deep voice.

"Excellent, I want you and your squadron airborne in 20 minutes. All objective coordinates have been uploaded to the targeting matrices of all aircraft. No resistance is expected but I want your eyes open, no slacking is that understood?"

"Of course Admiral. Grinko out."

With a satisfied nod Admiral Tornasov rose from his seat and approached the wide, ballistic glass windows of the bridge. Below him, he could see the small figure of Grinko and his pilots hastily mounting themselves in their Su-25 Fighter Bombers. The aircraft themselves were large and rather ugly looking, but their payloads and speed more then made up for their lack of aesthetics. Each of the aircraft was equipped with 7 "Inferno" class incendiary bombs, 5 Chemical Agent Canisters, and 1 GSh-30-2 30mm cannon; more then enough to torch the drug fields and facilities and make the surrounding area nothing short of uninhabitable. While the incendiaries would prove to be the real "punch" of the attack, it would be the chemical agents that would seal the cartels' fate. For once the ashes had cooled, the entire area would be bathed in all manner of chemicals that would essentially "kill" the ground and make the area lethal to anyone entering it for the next 4 weeks.

The Sturovny shook slightly as the Su-25s took off in duos. Overall, 30 aircraft were being launched that nights, with all split up into 2 man groups. Each would have their designated targets, be they drug fields, processing plants, storage areas, or the strongholds of the cartels. As the last of the Su-25s disappeared from view into the dark nights sky, Tornasov returned to his seat and keyed a different comms-channel.

"Ordnance Master Krasnovic, are the missiles ready?" He asked calmly, brushing a speck of dirt from his spotless white uniform.

"Affirmative, all missiles loaded and ready to fire. Awaiting fire coordinates." Krasnovic replied, almost inaudible over the background noise of work.

"Sending coordinates now." Tornasov replied as he typed in a series of codes into his command console.

"Coordinates received, missiles firing in T minus 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1"

Every vessel in the fleet shook as 15 3M-54 Klub Surface-to-Surface missiles launched in a lurid cloud of blazing fire. While the aircraft bombed the main narcotic production sites, the bombardment of missiles was aimed at Savnican "governmental" buildings and areas. With a simultaneous strike to their drug infrastructure and their so called "government", the Volzgradiens hoped the Savnican cartels would simply implode from the amount of devastation about to be wreaked.

<<This is AWACS Adirael. Dzhoker squadron is entering Savnican airspace. The firebombing is sett to begin in some minutes.>>

The operator onboard the E-3 said. One of the bombers split from the formation and travelled alone as the rest of the craft approached Savnican airspace. The bomber started deploying radar decoys to distract the enemy air defense radars, and when it deployed the 12 decoys in total the craft turned back and started heading back to the airspace of Birkaine.
<<Dzhoker 12 here. All decoys deployed, returning to base.>>

<<Understood, Dzhoker 12. All aircraft, maintain altitude and heading. Open your bomb bays and prepare to begin our first attack run, coordinates have been updated>> the flight lead said. <<We just received confirmation from HQ. The mission is a go.>>

<<Buran 3 here, roger. We are fully capable of engagement at this point. Missile bays are open.>> The pilot of an MB-21 said.

The entire formation kept slowly going towards their targets. While the volzgradien would take out the primary insallations and drug processing laboratories, the Birkanians were set to carpet-bomb the biggest crops with dozens of tons of incendiary and chemical bombs.
