RP post May 17

Finally, the rest of the Celtic troops have been dropped of into isntabul. They outnumber the ottomans in the city 6-1 now but the ottomans hold stong defense position up on a citidel. The celtic army executes a frontal charge to the palace, and despite suffering horrendous casualties,there numbers break through. They broke through into the palace when the ottoman sultan was asleep,when he woke up CA troops were in his bedchamber,yelling, you are under arrest by the Celtic army! Creeperopolis as the new sec of internal affairs does the sultan jump out the window or does he come quietly.

Casultie estimates so far:Celtic dead 150,000 kia 20,000 WIA,1,000 missing. Ottoman casultie estimates 'creeperopolis can change this':100,000 dead 10,000 wounded 70,000 captured.

On the other hand, social conservatism is correlated with ignorance and big government size. Is it even possible to create a decent nation?

Just keep the majority of your people with you. We can't have sympathizers to this ideology as that can lead to a bad chain of events. You must not act and seem tyrannical. Invest in some stuff that can directly benefit citizens. A sort of "bread and circuses" approach (only employing this as a last stand measure to not end up like the Romanovs in real life history)

I have presented my nominees to the Senate for confirmation.

Upon deliberation, consideration, and conducting interviews, I have selected the following individuals for my cabinet (in addition to Coastal English Districts as my Vice President):

Libervalley for Head Diplomat

Creeperopolis for Secretary of Internal Affairs

Lalop for Secretary of War

Creeperopolis, Gagium, Coastal English Districts, Eldrado, Lalop, Jus

Members of the Federation Of Conservatives Nations,

I am honored to have been elected as your President. I hope to acquit myself well in this position. In my past service as WA Delegate, Secretary of Interior and Defense, Secretary of War, and Secretary of Internal Affairs, I have always sought to advance the FCN and grow its influence on the world stage while protecting our sovereignty and community.

To that end, I have endeavored to include in my bipartisan cabinet members who have not previously been a part of regional government, or who have held different positions in the past that the one I selected them for. I hope to involve more people in the regular operations of the region, and spur on greater involvement by a wider segment of our growing population.

I am confident that my nominee for Head Diplomat, Libervalley, will perform well as our new Delegate and increase our interregional influence and reputation. I anticipate that my nominee for Secretary of Internal Affairs, Creeperopolis, will execute his responsibilities with excellence. I look forward to seeing what my nominee for Secretary of War, Lalop, can bring to renew our military capabilities. I urge the Senate to confirm each of these nominees with speed.

We have had an influx of new members as a result of the recently failed Security Council 'Liberation' effort. This has propelled us into the top-100 regions by population, and the top-30 by Delegate endorsements. I hope to continue that growth through active recruitment, involvement on the world stage, and close relationships with ally regions.

Although the 'Liberation' attempt was brought forward by cheaters and ne'er-do-wells, I believe we can take lessons from it to urge us on to greater heights. We are under a microscope as to our conduct, and I hope to set an example that will elevate our discourse and interaction to avoid such incidents in the future. Let the Leftists of the NS-world attack us on our conservative principles and beliefs, not for inappropriate language and distasteful conversation. Initially, I had no intention of seeking this office, but upon reflection I felt that I could be well-suited to leading our region for this term.

My administration will seek to expand our influence on the global stage by pushing for action in the World Assembly. I will work with our new Delegate to author legislation to repeal intrusive laws and propose conservative reforms. I hope to see us become a real leader in the World Assembly for right-wing regions to rally around.

This will include working closely with Right To Life on advancing the Pro-Life cause and combating the radically pro-abortion forces in NS. We will work to revitalize and reform Pro Life International into an agent for action and results.

I will also propose that we look into several Constitutional reforms. From cleaning up language and contradictions, to exploring an elected Senate and electoral reform, I believe that we can amend our Constitution into a document that lays the groundwork for continued growth and regional prosperity.

The 7th Zombie Apocalypse, which falls in my term of office, is now less than two weeks away. I hope to see our region perform on an elite level in our operations, and will count on cooperation by everyone in order to achieve that.

In closing, I am honored to take the helm for this term. The continued success and growth of our region depends not on who holds office, but on the activity and community brought about by each and every one of you. My job as President, my Cabinet's jobs, are all made possible by your participation. Onward, and upward!

For Liberty,

May 17th, 1910

Istanbul, Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Army has been launching desperate assaults on Celtic positions, endeavoring to break into Istanbul to relieve the besieged garrison and the Sultan. This has resulted in heavy casualties along the front lines to the southeast and west of Istanbul.

At dawn on the 17th, Celtic troops launched a massive attack on the main citadel of Istanbul. Ottoman troops unleashed a veritable hail of fire on the attackers, but the Celtic troops stormed into breaches in the wall. Hand-to-hand combat raged for several hours, when the Celts gained the upper hand over the exhausted garrison. The Ottoman defenders broke in the western side of the citadel, and Celtic troops streamed into the fortress, dispersing into the various tunnels and corridors in search of the Sultan.

Ottoman troops rallied on the southern and eastern side, but it was too late for the Sultan. He was captured by Celtic troops, who began the effort to evacuate him from the citadel.

Word spread quickly, and the Ottomans rushed to the vicinity of the Sultan's suite. Fighting raged until the Sultan asked the Celts to raise a white flag under his banner atop the fortress while he agreed to negotiate terms.

The celtics agree to a temporary truce under the flag of peace, but the sultan is put under close guard 'knife right next to him' in order for him not to try anything crazy.

Pretty much everyone on the Discord, then, there's a handful of nations that are somewhat active on the RMB, but there's a lot of nations that are active and don't talk on the RMB for some reason...

If appointed I would serve the post faithfully and follow the law of the FCN. I wouldn't let a conflict of interest occur or impede upon the principles or duties of the post. If appointed it would truly be just to help the FCN. If that involves participating in operations with the RTLA that would only be because I believe that working with our allies is a vital aspect to maintaining the strength and safety of the FCN.

I don't know anymore. I believe we need a universal church, but Roman Catholicism looks like it's cracking at the seems, especially with the numerous and disturbingly frequent scandals revolving American priest. So, I think either Orthodox or Lutheran, but I'm still thinking about it. I'm not gonna participate in this poll, sorry.

I’m pretty sure I belong in the Protestant branch, but you didn’t list it, so I’m gonna go with the closest thing there is on there

I'm pretty sure all of them are Protestant besides Orthodox and Catholic.

Edit: Also the ones in the fringe category are rooted in Protestantism, but there's been so much reformation that they fit into their own little individual categories.

All those are Protestant.

Yeah... I looked up the definition of Protestant, and I guess I fall under Baptist, I honestly wasn’t sure what Protestant was until just now XD

I am very saddened of how I have been treated by Viridus so far and the rest of the NP have treated me and the rest of the TPG with impuity, using thier slim majority to bloc everything that endangers thier power. No longer. I am recruting members to the TPG, making an alliance with the RCCI so we can put a check on this speaker and make bills of our own. The fact that I was not confirmed despite being qualified for the position and having NP members making lies and slander about me is horrendous. I am not getting power and influence in this region by 'gaining repect' and sucking up to you.I am instead going to recruit members to our cause and do what you are doing in the senate right now-pass things with razor thin majorities. The TPG is a great group of vioraries in the CP and the FCN as a whole. Ignore it at your own risk.

I am setting a goal to have the NP allied majority in the senate gone by december.

First of all the NP does not have a "slim majority" as you proclaim, and in fact the CP has slightly more members than the NP.

Second of all it wasn't just NP members who blocked your confirmation me and other CP members were doing the same, and you going on a tangent about how you weren't being confirmed didn't help the situation. We did not think you were qualified and so we rejected your confirmation as War Sec, yet you act like people are lying and making slanderous accusations.

Third, by continuing to bitch and moan about it and remain in an echo chamber of your so called TPG allies, you're not gonna gain any respect, power or influence from the rest of the region because of how ignorant you are being.

Lastly, learn to spell correctly! There are so many grammar errors in your block of text.

Saying You should have been elected instead of the other candidate and whining about how you're so "qualified" shows that you are, in fact, not so qualified for that position. Sod off you narcissistic clod

The vicinity of Sinop, Ottoman Empire

60,000 Ottoman troops were arranged in a battle line outside of Sinop, with several hundred more arriving daily, mainly local militias and raw recruits. Trenches had been dug across a wide front in an effort to pin the Eldradonian force in the isthmus of İnceburun. Sporadic fighting had taken place over the past few days, with both sides probing the others defenses. The Ottomans were in a tentative spot, with Istanbul involved in a fierce battle and multiple fronts against multiple enemies.

One third of the Army present was an elite force from the Armenian border. These soldiers had taken up the center of the line, which was its weakest point. Ottoman commanders depended on this division holding the line and maintaining the defensive position to keep the Eldradonians from driving further inland.

Medina, Ottoman Empire

65,000 Ottoman troops were arrayed at Medina, the second-holiest city in Islam. This force had been gathered from all across Arabia and Syria, including the remnants of the Mecca garrison who had fled in the faced of the Gran Argrerianan invasion.

Syrian cavalry maintained a screening activity between Mecca and Medina, probing the Gran Argrerianan line and scouting for any northwestward movement. As of yet, none had been detected, but valuable intelligence was being gathered as to the size of the invading force. Several clashes had taken place with the cavalry of Abdulaziz Al Saud outside of Mecca. This development worried the local Ottoman commanders, as Al Saud had been a pesky thorn in their side for years, steadily gaining support from the desert tribes and threatening supply lines and Ottoman territory.

He's not in an echo chamber. When he's speaking on behalf of the TPG, he's speaking for himself. He didn't inform me of any of this.

Greece and Crete

As news of the fall of Istanbul has spread, the Kingdom of Greece decided to pounce on this opportunity and declared war on the Ottoman Empire. A naval force cleared a landing force on the island of Crete, and the local populace rose up in rebellion. Greece also made movements to seize islands in the Aegean Sea. The crippled Ottoman Navy was unable to challenge the Greeks, leaving forces stranded on Islands and unable to be reinforced.

Not the RRCCI, I meant the Moderates. The RRCCI is the opposite of liberty. Note:Nice catch there, really starting to like your opinions.

1. NP has less people de jure but de facto they have a senate majority.

2. Sounds like someones just salty that he did not even get selected. Let me guess, you applied? Also I am a member of the CP but I dont see eye to eye on everything with them, it makes sense that they wount vote to confirm me then. People are lying and making slanderous accusations, Gran Argintina called me a communist sympathizer! So Untrue!

3. The fact that your responding to me right now means that this is not an echo chamber. I don't want 'influence' from the rest of the region, I want to maintain my political purity and have my own thought and not change it like Hillary just to get power.
