There have been rumours that Norinsk
isn't such a safe place anymore, mainly
because of a growing group of people
who want Akranova (a city in Norinsk
that was always known for wanting
to be independent) to become a Independent
nation, there are rumours that more than 80%
of the Norinskians who live in Akranova want it
to be independent, and in Norinsk, if more than
75% of people in a region or city want independence
then they get in. At least this was a law that wasn't
changed since Norinsk was a very small nation, but
as you've might've noticed, things have changed a lot
now, Norinsk's economy grew a lot in the last couple
of years, but the civil rights, well that is the a different story,
Here is what the primary of Akranova thinks about this
"I think they keep this law to give us a false impression of
freedom, they just want to make us forget about the
socialist part of Norinsk, we are afraid that in the next
years Norinsk might become communist, that's why
we wan't to be independent, because of the way how
things are going, even if the 75% of people vote for
independence surveys are mostly just a joke, Norinsk
is going down, and we don't want to also go down."

It's funny that after you've been in Astoria for a while, you just see strong nations come and go, and in general nations just come and go. They all have a rise and it just feels like they go past you
Hi Norinsk :)
I've seen many nations come and go in my time on NS lol
Ive posted My Dispatch, but I cant find the link to copy it
Here's the link https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1979804
Also if you're interested in this sort of stuff I highly encourage you to join Astoria's Roleplay
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1902505
This Is The Trigger, Its my first Dispatch. And Thank you Eragon Island For helping me start it. any way Thoughts?
A general was sitting at his desk. he had recently been Promoted and Although he was told to stay on site he was told he could do whatever he pleases. so here he was sitting at his desk fiddling with a pen. although he was comfortable, he found it rather odd to be sitting here, he was in his his early thirties, had brown hair green eyes and was relatively tall. And generally the people sitting here were generally in their fifties. He was staring Into Space when A man came running in without warning. this came as a shock to the General, as well as embarrassed, he knew who this man was, he was the minister of administration. Grey hair, rather short and one of the most powerful people on the senate and in the Empire for that matter.
Is everything Alright? Asked the General
Far from that! responded the minister. listen mark you have to help me! mark was his real name, by he rather people called him General Grey. mark didnt mind though and Instead asked the minister what was the problem
the senate has gone into madness he replied. Both Our leader Adam and his appointed successor have died, and the senate cant decide who to appoint as leader. so They all claimed that they were the successors to the throne. everyone has begun to muster armies to support their claim.
Mark was rather puzzled, Adam was a great and noble leader, but he k ew his time was running out. had he planned for his successor to die Early?
Listen he began I need you to back my claim to succeed Adam.
And why should I do that? Adam responded
Because If not, Adams brother will take the throne.
Mark paused, one because he thought he was about to offer Rupees in exchange for his services. and second because the ministers concerns made sense, he knew about Henry, Adams brother, who had a severe head Injury. this meant he often made rushed and irrational decisions. having him as leader could bring about the downfall of the Adriatic Empire.
Please Ill pay you ju the minister was cut off
I dont need payment. said Mark I understand your concerns, come with me to fort Agmar, there we can muster our own army and I will support your claim to the throne.
the minister nodded. soon they quickly left the building and entered Marks car, where they drove out of Adrianople, unknown to them at the time, they would be Involved In one of the bloodiest Wars the Adriatic Empire has ever known.
Unike
Oh, Thanks for that!
Unike

You are welcome for the help. Pretty interesting.
The formatting needs work (Perhaps use [box][/box] and [hr] at certain points.) Also, while it isn't exactly a wall of text, perhaps you could break it up at some points if you can do images.
Thanks, I wanted to keep it a bit small because As my first one.
Yeah. My older Factbooks just described things. One of my oldest was when my nation was (I think) Minotaur pirates in space who used a space tank that converted matter into ammo
lol
Esmer
Yeah. That was Way back like, Oshina times.
Okay, so we are clones. I never wrote it on NS, but I described the exact thing on a Google Doc for use by one of my other nations.
Frick. That is funny and insane.
i geuss, it is a warm liquid that you drink. personally if were talking about soup, my favorate is italian chicken and gnocchi soup. it tatses so good when you dip breadsticks in it.

Would anyone be interested in a reboot of this: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=539118&hilit=Tournament#p40859172
It was an RP I ran a while ago that fell apart due to inactivity.
☸ - Rosalyia
As the Exercitus Rosae marched through the conquered cities of Shyvna, the news of Archonate Lyra's death spread like wildfire among the conquered populace. The once tyrannical ruler, who had brought Shyvna to its knees with relentless brutality, had succumbed not to the blade of rebellion or the hand of justice but to the merciless grip of illness. The messengers stood before the marching legion, delivering the somber news of Lyra's passing, casting a shadow over the streets still echoing with the scars of her rule.
For seventeen long years, Lyra's iron-fisted reign had left millions dead, cities in ruins, and a nation scarred by the weight of oppression. With her demise, a vacuum of power emerged, and the Exercitus Rosae, the enforcers of her will, prepared for the rituals and rites that would usher in a new Archonate. The atmosphere in the conquered cities was tense, the people living in the aftermath of Lyra's rule wondering what fate awaited them under a new leader.
For two weeks, the Exercitus Rosae engaged in solemn ceremonies, invoking ancient rites to consecrate the transition of power. The rituals were a blend of military precision and arcane mysticism, performed in the shadow of the oppressive structures that had defined Lyra's reign. The air was thick with the scent of incense, and the streets resonated with the chanting of priestesses invoking the chaotic blessings of Rosartemis.
The transition was marked by a symbolic passing of the Archonate's mantle, a ceremonial transfer of authority from Lyra to her chosen successor, Rosalyia. As the oath of allegiance was administered, the Exercitus Rosae raised their weapons in salute, acknowledging the ascent of a new leader to guide the cult and the nation. The conquered citizens of Shyvna, already burdened by years of oppression, watched with a mix of dread and curiosity as Rosalyia assumed the mantle of power.
"Subjects of Rosartemis, witness the decayed remnants of the once-mighty Global Order, a puppetry led by a withering skeleton who claims to be the First God, Sevira. Look upon this feeble deity clinging to a crumbling throne, his divine mandates nothing but lies!
Lyra's rule, brilliant in its malevolence! Cities ablaze, millions sacrificed to the glory of my Queen! Your reign, Sevira, was not in the name of faith but in the pursuit of greed. Fear not; your demise approaches, and your churches will crumble like brittle leaves in the fire of my wrath. Oh, Sevira, prepare for the flames that will consume your false sanctuaries, one by one, until not a stone is left standing. You, a once-mighty god, shall be reduced to nothing.
I pledge my life, my very soul, to the Queen of Roses, the harbinger of chaos who defied this divine tyranny. The gods, grown complacent and tyrannical, shall suffer under my relentless gaze. Their beauty shall wither, and their arrogance shall crumble. Your cherished flowers will bloom upon the graves of these heretics."
In the wake of Rosalyia's ascension, a sinister tide swept over Shyvna as her decrees plunged the nation into a nightmare of unprecedented brutality. Strengthening the Exercitus Rosae, she orchestrated a ruthless purge, intensifying their training and indoctrination to transform them into merciless enforcers of her will. With their ranks bolstered, the once formidable military machine became an even more formidable instrument of terror.
To obliterate all traces of Callista's legacy, Rosalyia's decree for the erasure of records took a more sinister form. Cult agents infiltrated archives and libraries, burning books and scrolls that held any mention of the former Archonate. The very fabric of history was rewritten with a dark and manipulative hand, leaving behind only the narratives sculpted to suit Rosalyia's vision of absolute control.
The decree for the systematic genocide of all men was a nightmarish descent into inhumanity. The Exercitus Rosae, now emboldened by their augmented strength, carried out brutal campaigns in every corner of Shyvna. Men, regardless of age or innocence, were hunted down, their lives extinguished in acts of unspeakable violence. Cities became killing fields, and the rivers ran red with the blood of the innocent.
Rosalyia's vengeance extended beyond the borders of Shyvna, as the Exercitus Rosae launched terrorist attacks on Sevira's religious sanctuaries in Thallasia. Explosions echoed through holy grounds, reducing sacred places to rubble and instilling terror in the hearts of the unsuspecting worshippers. The once sacred symbols of Sevira's faith were transformed into sites of unimaginable horror.
In a bid to tighten her grip on the nation, Rosalyia's decree for complete border control severed all external ties. Shyvna became a fortress, isolated from the international community. The "No Fly zone" turned the skies over Shyvna into a forbidden expanse, enforcing the nation's isolation with an iron fist.
Foreign trade and diplomacy were banned, suffocating Shyvna's economy and cutting off any lifelines to the outside world. The once-thriving nation now languished in a state of self-imposed exile, its people forced into a life of hardship and scarcity.
Rosalyia's condemnation of the Seat of the Eight Gods marked a defiant break from the divine order. Temples were desecrated, priests were hunted down, and the faithful were forced into submission. The once holy places became arenas of sacrilege, as Rosalyia sought to extinguish any lingering trace of the gods worshipped by the Global Order.
This was only the start of Archonate Rosalyia's tyrannical reign, and there is no sign of it ever ending.

Ah, shizzle, this ain't good. (Maybe)
Now, I need to make the battle for Gerriad, as the three forces (And the soldiers of Hunters') fight.
hewwo Astowias :3
Gerriad
It happened suddenly. From the harbor, Francis's fleet hit the Arembolian ports, torching the wooden ships and burning many sea-front buildings. From the east, 600 march in, armored in kevlar and armed with rifles, armored vehicles alongside. The Guardsmen tried to fight, but they were armed with ancient weaponry, and they did little damage to the incoming fleet and the arriving 600.
It happened so fast. One minute, the guardsmen stood tall, watching the sea for the enemy, the next they were dead, dying, or about to be captured and sold off to some foreign land.
In less than an hour, Gerriad had fallen, minimale casualties taken by the 600 and one ship downed for Francis's fleet.
Lady Hunter and Francis meet on the port street.
"Ah, so you choose to attack as well?" The lady stated, more of a statement than a question.
Francis, nonetheless, answered. "Yes. After all, who could stop us? We hold the ports of this sh*thole of a country. Besides, we were here to rule, not serve some old general."
"Ah. So are we enemies? Must I sink this blade into you?" the Lady brandishes a dagger she had taken from one of her kills.
"Not yet. We must see what happens when the General gets here. Plus, Rogan has yet to show himself."
As if that sentence had called him, the great iron doors of his hall opened, and Rogan walked out, flanked on one side by his wife and on the other by Hal. His guardsmen walked out, weapons out and standing straight.
"So," Rogan calls out, "You have decided to fight? Well, we will not give up! We may have ancient weaponry, but we have spirit! Now, before more blood is spilled, should we not wait for the general?"
Again, with the coincidences. The General, at the head of his men, arrive upon the cliff overlooking the town, they have taken the pass. "Ah, did I miss a massacre?" The General's teeth flash in a grin, as he trots his horse down the steep path, his elite following him.
"Not yet. Rogan is yet alive." Francis called back. He turns to Rogan and his guardsmen. "Give up! You cannot beat our combined forces. What do you have, 50? We have 1,000 or more! Surrender, and we may spare your lives!"
"Never!" Rogan called back. "F*ck off if you think we will give in! Weapons at the ready! We will show them our steel!" Rogan looked at his wife, who brandished a broadsword. He looked at Hal, who held only a knife. His final word would carry his emotions, his fear and his anger. He calls it out in a booming voice. "CHARGE!"
They stood not a chance. Rifles ripped through his men, and they fell in minutes. His knee was destroyed, but the king held his spear ready. His wife lay at his side, dead, and Hal stood beside him, knife up and out. In only seconds after he called out, only 5 of his men were remaining, and they had surrendered.
His three enemies walked up to him, looking down upon his injured self, Hal to his side.
"Tssk. This is what 30 years of fighting has brought you? To kneel before us, besides your dead army? Ha! Pathetic! You stood no chance. We were to get you here at some point, the ceasefire just sped it up." The Lady looked upon him, then glanced up at Hal.
"Ah, Hal, my friend, you stood beside him? That was not your purpose. Oh, well, you ARE just a MALE."
The other two leaders shared a look at this.
Hal spoke against his old employer. "Ah, shut up, bi*ch. At least I stood for something! What do you stand for, some made up god? Ok. Fine. Just know that this," he flips his knife up and lunges at the Lady. "This is for you!"
Before he reached her, a shot rang out, and a bullet was in his chest, fired by the Lady herself. She looked down upon him as he collapsed. She spits upon him.
"That was for you." she turns back to Rogan, but she says nothing as she spins around and shoots the General through the head. At that her men and Francis's men fired into the General's, clearing them in minutes and leaving only a few who would be sold off.
"Francis, you can take Rogan here. See if you can sell him to an eastern country. He should know he will never be back.
Francis nods.
The Lady walks off. Arembolia had a new ruler, and she was a bi*ch.

AI is helpful! It's more helpful when you can give it specific parameters for stuff. For instance, IRL I do law things - particularly those international ones. I've been drafting a lot of my factbooks with that knowledge in mind so it doesn't sound so AI-ish :)
