February 23, Palatial Grounds, Eden

8:00 A.M.

[spoiler]Mihael and his entourage (including Ion and Emmanuel) prepare to discuss about Eldrado’s current military state, healthcare system, education system, infrastructure, diplomacy, and economics.

9:00 A.M.

They first visit the Royal Military Academy And Military Fortress. Here, they begin discussing pressing military issues with the Empire’s top generals and admirals. Dictated by Eldradonian law, the leader of a country during peace must also lead on the front lines during war. Therefore, the king, the nobles, and the Prime Minister participate in warfare. The most pressing military concern is to deal with the Ottoman threat in the south. In the heavily guarded office, they lay out plans to keep the Black Sea in Eldradonian hands and to eventually launch an invasion at the Rival Empire. The construction, purchasing, and research of new projectiles, machine guns, rifles, artillery, ships, and aircraft have been steadily conducted, amassing a relatively impressive number of arms and equipment. German, Russian, British, American, and even Eldradonian-made weapons were all bought and used during the Civil War years, so the armed forces lack a standard issued weapons. The King and the Prime Minister are pushing to create unique, Eldradonian weapons in order to support the arms manufacturing industries at home. But for now, German and Russian weapons make up the majority of weapons, while Eldradonian ones are next in line.

12:00 A.M.

A luncheon is held at the fortress in its rectory. Here, Mihael catches up with his generals, most of whom served by his side in the Civil War.

3:00 P.M.

As a result of the recent responses from the three different American countries and leaders, Mihael begins addressing how to further diplomatic relations. As the different American builders ( approach to construct their embassies, Eldradonian officials and architects prepare to greet them and to discuss the construction of the Embassies. They are curious to see the architecture from across the Atlantic. Since the American nations accepted his request at personally visiting their countries, he decides he will see them all on a three week tour. He makes arrangements to prepare gifts of gold, silver, instruments, tools, weapons, clothes, and other fineries. Mihael prepared to take three Dreadnoughts, five frigates, and eight cuirassiers in order to ensure safe passage in the hostile waters of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean (due to the Ottoman threat).

5:00 P.M.

Driving carefully in the snowy streets, the King eventually reaches his next destination, the administrative building of infrastructure, public works, and economy. Here they discuss matters relating to road maintenance and construction, construction and restoration of buildings (schools, factories, hospitals, power plants, and government buildings), water, street lights, statue maintenance, tax codes, health standards, etc... Ever since the war, the average income tax rate has been relatively high in order to restore, repair, and rebuild from the destruction. Therefore, Mihael and Ion plan to make sure businesses are thriving and that the country has modern infrastructure put in place, before lowering the tax rate.

The Next Day

9:00 A.M.

Mihael and his advisors spent the whole day planning his departure to the American States. They were to leave at nightfall, under the cover of darkness, in order to hopefully sneak past Ottoman ships.

1:00 P.M.

In between, the architects arrived from the America’s. Mihael, the royal family, and the government greeted them. A small parade was held as the architects were lead to the build site and the base of operations. Supplies were delivered, roads were blocked, and plans were set. The builders were also led to their quarters in order to rest and adjust to the time zone from their long journey.

The King would depart Eldrado with 1,200 soldiers and sailers, 400 builders, 10 architects, and 10 government officials, including the King himself. He would be travelling on the Battleship E.K.S (the Eldrado King Ships) Light-bringer (Samuel). This diplomatic mission was being handled as a militaristic one at the same time. Getting past the Ottomans at the Danube Delta would prove challenging. However, it would need to be done, especially since Eldrado needed all the allies it could get.

9:00 P.M.

Mihael, Ion, Emmanuel, one of Mihael’s brothers (Stefan), and a few other government officials gather on the E.K.S Light Bringer. They depart swiftly, the engines humming quietly in the Black Sea. A military priest blessed their voyage and set sail with them. This would be an eventful voyage. A very eventful one indeed.

3 days later

The weather has been merciful, with smooth sailing for most of the way. There was little ice and the sea was calm. However, today was foggy, with little to no visibility. Suddenly, a radar picked up on a few unidentified ships approaching. Not knowing if they were merchants, ships from other nations, or the dreaded Ottomans, Mihael commanded that they shut all power, so that they would not be seen on the radar of the other ships. A standstill was called. Slowly but steadily, figures of ships were seen faintly through the fog, passing perpendicular to the Eldradonian formation. It seemed apparent that it was an Ottoman patrol fleet, usually around 25 ships. However, no alarm sounded. Some of Mihael’s generals and advisors, including Stefan, decided it would be best to try to avoid them. However, Mihael argued that this patrol would harm other Eldradonian ships, military or civilian ones. He also pointed out that the fog was already thinning and that they would not be able to get too far without the enemy spotting them. And their ships were already weighed down by the heavy gifts and other supplies. Therefore, Mihael pressed their advantage, using the element of surprise and many, many heavy guns. Because the enemy ships sides were exposed to the Eldradonian formation, much of the fleet sunk quickly. 12 enemy ships of varying sizes and classes sank. Now the skirmish began. The surviving Ottoman ships began regrouping. Unfortunately, the Ottomans still had some of their bigger ships. Projectiles flew through the air, heavy artillery sounded, and machine guns fired. The deck shooked on each ship as metal and wood were blasted into nothingness. Mihael and his generals showed great leadership, actively giving commands, and assisting with the reloading and firing of the weapons, and commandeering the ship. However, two enemy battleships were bombarding the E.K.S Lightbringer hard. So, two cuirassiers decided that they had to sacrifice themselves and ram into the ships. Escape boats were launched for the crews, as the admirals decided to go down with their ships. Seeing what they were doing, Mihael ordered them to stand down. However, the deed was done, and the ships all collided, sinking rapidly and tragically. Mihael boarded an enemy ship, charging with his own men. The remaining Ottoman ships raised the white flag in defeat. Although they won the battle, about 250 soldiers and sailors, and 20 more builders died in battle. Nearly 700 were wounded to varying degrees. Even Mihael was wounded, which should come as no surprise. The Ottomans surrendered when they were cut down to 5 ships. The Eldradonians were left with 12 out of the 16. They took the Ottomans as prisoner, and they managed to spare only enough soldiers to commandeer 3 of the enemy ships. They looted and sunk the rest. The Ottoman ships were repurposed in prisoner of war ships, which were then sent home bound. The remaining Eldradonian delegation decided that they had to stop, rest, result, and repair their fleet before continuing their journey. However, they did not wish to return home. The sent a telegraph to all Mediterranean nations that were not allied with the Turks, offering an alliance and riches if they were willing to shelter the small fleet.

[I]Northern Mexico, 20 miles from the Texoma border

Having located the operating base of the Juan Carlos bandits, the Texas Rangers Brigade had taken up a position for a dawn assault on the encampment.

The base was situated in a dry valley, with multiple escape routes. Overnight, battalions of Rangers had been dispatched to cut off as many avenues of escape as possible. The bandit force was estimated to be about 300 strong, and much loot from their operations was stored at the camp.

Just before dawn, the Ranger Brigade moved forward. Advance sentries spotted the lead company of the infantry regiment and sounded the alarm. The bandits roused from their sleep and ran out under arms, firing in the direction of the advancing Texomans.

The Rangers' Artillery batteries opened fire from two of the surrounding hills that overlooked the valley. Closer to the front, machine gunners and Gatling gun operators shredded the enemy force. One Gatling gun returned fire as the bandits' resistance wavered, then broke.

The advancing infantry entered the camp, silencing the bandit Gatling gun and routing the Juan Carlos gang. Small groups of bandits fled on horseback, with few escaping through the Ranger ambushments.

By the time the guns stopped firing, the Texoman force had taken less than 30 casualties while killing or wounding 130 and capturing another 240 bandits.

Istanbul, Ottoman Empire

Ibrahim Hakki Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, head of state under Sultan Mehmed V, stormed into his conference room. He angrily demanded to know why the Eldradians had been able to sink and capture two dozen of their ships in the Black Sea. Naval officers stammered in reply, and recommended the full mobilization of the military.

"By Allah, we will. And each of you will command the leading vessels to ensure that retribution is made for these losses. No longer will these Balkan and Slavic peoples push the Ottomans aside. Of this, we must be certain... jihad will be declared against Eldrado!"

Parliament was swiftly convened, and by evening had declared a state of war between the Ottoman Empire and the Empire of Eldrado. Sultan Mehmed V, in his capacity as Caliph of Islam, declared a jihad against Eldrado, and called on Muslims in the Empire to enlist for the fight.

Vice President Adair spent most of the day visiting historic sites with his team, as well as touring several industrial locations with representatives from prominent industries in Texoma. Some of the Texoma corporations had sent members to help broker individual contracts with Viridusian companies as part of the trade mission.

Adair and his team arrived back at the castle by 1700 to run over some preliminary plans before the 1900 summit with Viridusian officials.[/spoiler]

Vice President Adair and his trade delegation boarded their ship in preparation for sailing back to Texoma. The trade mission had been a success, with Viridus and Texoma signing a new agreement that significantly mutual tariffs on petroleum and lumber (exported by Texoma) and coal, textiles and ceramics (exported by Viridus) to 20%, and all other tariffs down to a maximum of 30%.

Several Texoma manufacturers had also signed contracts to build factories in Viridus, with Viridusian industrialists planning a reciprocal trip to Texoma in the near future.

March 2nd, 1910

Admiral Alfredo Persico had received a sort of distress call from an Eldradonian Fleet, which had been attacked by an Ottoman fleet A few days earlier. He had immediately called an emergency meeting in the Navy department of Viridus ((will probably make a more creative name later)). It was later decided that it should be brought to the attention of the Rexileus along with the other high ranking officials of the Viridusian military as it could lead to war. The Rexileus had decided to help the Eldradonian fleet. On the 28th of February, the Viridusian Navy had sent a telegraph to the Eldradonian fleet saying that they would accept them in Catania and are prepared to send an escort of 4 Destroyers and 2 Cruisers to lead them there. After the Eldradonians get settled, the Viridusians would lead them to Naples for further diplomatic talks.

Now, on the 2nd of March the Eldradonian fleet had not yet arrived in Catania but they had entered Viridusian waters and were with the Viridusian escort. The Rexileus had begun discussing the idea of pursuing a war with the Ottomans. He figured that Eldrado would be on his side, the Rexileus knew that he could call in Germany and Austria-Hungary if he needed to. He wouldn't concern them with this though. Instead he might consider flexing his political influence on Greece, and bring them into the war to bring glory back to the Kingdom of Greece.

The Rexileus would discuss the idea of war against the Ottomans with Eldrado representatives in Naples in the upcoming few days.

On this i definitely dont agree with you, since you took our decision to close embassies and completely twisted it. Farkasfalka is an anti-conservative wasteland. And you are right on the fact that we should have talked to representatives, that is Washingtonian Republic's job, he had plenty of time to speak to Farkasfalka and in theory he should have done that as soon as the incident on the RMB began, so dont take your anger out on the Senate.

Depending on one's definition of conservatism, I'm inclined to agree with the poster in question. Mainstream, sold-out, corporate conservatism is certainly a disease that afflicts the body politic. I'm a traditionalist and find no inherent value in the Bush/McCain school of conservative globalism.

The poster in question was undoubtedly attacking that strain of conservatism from a nationalist/traditionalist point of view, not from a leftist/marxist one. Admittedly, he could've made his point more eloquently and been less provocative in his wording, but I find the knee-jerk condemnation and virtue-signaling troubling.

I don't have as much free time as I'd like, which severely limits my participation here; so if I've overstepped my bounds by speaking out, I sincerely apologize.

I don't have as much free time as I'd like, which severely limits my participation here; so if I've overstepped my bounds by speaking out, I sincerely apologize.

Sorry for my rant, but he said Conservatism as a whole, so there are no excuses for that.

I agree with Crimsonfield here, if this person smeared our very own ideology, its not acceptable.

Mainstream, sold-out, corporate conservatism is certainly a disease that afflicts the body politic. I'm a traditionalist and find no inherent value in the Bush/McCain school of conservative globalism.

Tirene wrote:Depending on one's definition (ommitting the rest)

A bit irrelevant to the topic of discussion there, but this is something i've been wanting to write on for while.

There are two very different modes of clarification: the definitional and the nondefinitional. The two sorts of cases at issue here differ crucially even as an infinite regress would be vicious in the case of definition but not in that of explanation or interpretation. For definitions involve indispensable, sine qua non requisites whereas explanation, interpretation, and their congeners are merely facilitative. And this difference plays itself out in a way that bears importantly on the viability of endless regress. An explanation or interpretation can always be extended a bit more fully without compromising its status. The crux is thus as follows: an unprovable explnation still qualifies as an explanation, and the same with an unprovable interpretation; a definition that is unprovable is thereby inadequate and really unacceptable as a proper definition. In view of the object of the enterprise a definitional regress must ultimately come to a stop in terms whose meaning is fixed nondefinitionally. Where we have to keep on defining the materials of our definitions ad infinitum we do not define at all.

Well from what I see on the constitution is that anyone in the region is considered a resident. I just started playing NS and came to this region on the advice of a friend here. He said the Senate and such was cool, and I don't want to have a day I was here wasted toward getting a citizenship.

February 28, 1910

Istanbul, Ottoman Empire

Ibrahim Hakki Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, head of state under Sultan Mehmed V, stormed into his conference room. He angrily demanded to know why the Eldradians had been able to sink and capture two dozen of their ships in the Black Sea. Naval officers stammered in reply, and recommended the full mobilization of the military.

"By Allah, we will. And each of you will command the leading vessels to ensure that retribution is made for these losses. No longer will these Balkan and Slavic peoples push the Ottomans aside. Of this, we must be certain... jihad will be declared against Eldrado!"

Parliament was swiftly convened, and by evening had declared a state of war between the Ottoman Empire and the Empire of Eldrado. Sultan Mehmed V, in his capacity as Caliph of Islam, declared a jihad against Eldrado, and called on Muslims in the Empire to enlist for the fight.

[/spoiler]

March 4, 1910

Black Sea

In response to the recent mobilization and declaration of war against the Empire of Eldrado, the Ottoman Navy has deployed in force to begin a blockade of Eldrado. All ships bound to and from Eldrado have been denied passage through the Turkish Straits.

On the mainland portion of the Ottoman Empire, mobilization has been slow due to poor Internal infrastructure, limited railway existence, and a general lack of military preparedness.

On the European side of the Empire, some 300,000 soldiers of varying quality are stationed and making the necessary preparations for warfare. However, as the Ottomans and Eldradonians do not share a border, any attack would of necessity be an amphibious one.

Not really, plus the L&O wasnt necessarily Libertarian, it was just a big tent like CDP. Also, you could found L&O i guess but most members have made up their mind and joined a party anyway. It is all up to you my friend. The party most like L&O is the CDP.
