Hello
Bazooka Joe
Hello. Our country aims to pair democratic government with an overwhelmingly powerful military. If you are a democratic society that cares about standing up for your ideals then we are open to meeting new friends.

Oh hello
Tesdai, The Democracy Of Red Star
You dont. You have to wait for the election and then apply for a particular office and the we vote. I have to say, I miss the job though.
Indeed, if you check out our Government Dispatch and the Election Process section of the Bylaw Dispatch, you can learn a bit more about how Board and Senior Management get their positions.
The first step is to become a shareholder, which means you must be in the World Assembly and send an application to the COO.

A breaking news alert shows up on most of the news channels. A reporter is shown in a helicopter overlooking an oil rig.
Coming live from the West Tussian Sea, early this morning reports came in from Oil Rig number 52 that pirates have taken the rig over. The origin of the pirates is unknown, but the Tussian Imperial Navy was quickly dispatched and currently surrounds the oil rig. Most of the crewmates were killed as they fought back against the pirates with their own weapons and it is unknown as to whether or not there are any survivors. As you can see- wait what is tha-'' The reporter says as he turned around to look at the rig when, suddenly, an RPG hits the side of the helicopter in a fiery explosion.
The news chopper went down in a fiery spin. The entire crew was killed.

New Tussia, The Democracy Of Red Star
21:30, West Tussian Time
Five squadrons of TSTF (Tussian Special Task Force) operatives, eight men each, prepared their wetsuits. They were to infiltrate the oil ring via dinghies with overwatch from an AC-130 and three helicopters. Four sniper teams also prepared from the TMV Saturnus; one of the Tussian Imperial Navys flagship aircraft carriers.
The TSTF squadrons each made up the Ghost unit; the most elite unit of the TSTF.
The squadrons prepared. They were each armed with integrated silenced MP5s, silenced m9s, three smoke grenades, two breaching charges, and five flash grenades each.
Ghost 1 launched first; with each of the others holding back until it was confirmed that the bottom deck was cleared of hostiles. They reached the rig in about ten minutes and soon stopped the dinghy underneath the oil rig.
Ghost 1, in position. Ghost 1-1 reported.
Roger. The area is clear, Ghost 1 wait a minute, negate that. One tango sighted on the railing. Overwatch reported to them. After a few seconds, a body of one of the pirates fell over the railing and landed in the water with a bullet hole straight through his head. Area clear, Ghost 1. Overwatch said.
Ghost 1-1 grabbed one of the grappling hooks and fired it onto the railing as it held secure. The rest of Ghost 1 followed suit as they rappelled up the side of the oil rig. They reached the top and secured their weaponry.
Everyone ready? Ghost 1-1 asked his squadron.
Yes sir. The rest of Ghost 1 repeated.
They pulled on their NVGs as snipers took out the lights as they walked across the deck silently. The squadron soon reached a door after having cleared the deck. Ghost 2 and 3 reached the oil rig and rappelled onto the rig to cover Ghost 1s flank. Ghost 1 stacked up on the door. Ghost 1-2 slowly opened the door as they entered.
The squadron took off their NVGs as they entered the rig; the air tense as they soon approached one of the crew cabins. Four men were talking in the room but the operatives couldnt understand what they were saying.
Ghost 1-1 nodded and motioned towards the door, signaling that Ghost 1-5 threw a flash bang into the cabin. Ghost 1-5 pulled the pin and tossed it in. The pirates heard the flashbang bounce on the ground and one turned to see what it was just as it went off. Ghost 1-1 and 1-8 entered the room and quickly dropped all four pirates. They ensured the room was cleared as Ghost 1-1 was relayed a message from the TMV Saturnus

Following news of oil rig attacks in New Tussia, Prime Minister Raz has ordered the Friedmanican Defense Force to high alert. The orders include increased cruiser patrols around oil platforms in the East Shelby Sea. Media reports have also cited over watch patrols by the Air Defense Forces off the coast of the Capitol City of David.

I suggest making a anti piracy task force to help deal with this problem. It hurts all of our economies and we look soft by letting them alone. We should send a quick violent force against them to teach them a lesson about messing with our sweet sweet money.

Immigration and Refugee Reform
This is a law going off the previous one about immigration and refugee's. Due to our almost war with Almafi, we have decided to rethink our policy about immigration because it could have been easily avoided if we had changed our policy. So from here on, we are opening the boarders up to tourism year-round and immigrants and refugees are only allowed in with specific requirements (like papers, birth certificate, cannot be a fugitive from another country, etc.). But immigrants and refugees are only allowed IN within the time between June and August.

Antarctican Immagrants, Joshicada
As The Tribian Foreign Minister, I regret to inform you that at 0037 this morning, one of our bombers during a night time training exercise lost its way into Almafian controlled territory. But to make matters worse, the plane had been carrying a bomb that would level a small town. Unfortunatley, that bomb's release had malfunctioned over a small Almafian town and killed everyone that stood within the town. I send The Tribia's condolances to the Almafian famalies that lived their and towards the Almafian government. I would like to say that The Tribia is willing to take every measure possible to resolve this displomatically. Along with the fixing of our bomb release sytem and navigation problems that lead this bomber all the way into Almafian controlled territory. Again, I hope to reach peace terms soon so we can avoid another almost war with you.
Signed, The Tribian Foreign Minister

Normally would remind y'all to not double post and supress but will leave them up this time due to it being RP. For future reference: Just edit your previous post if you need to make another RP post. You can split the posts up pretty easily.
And as Cerb said, Official RP requires shareholder status and a spot on the map. Hit up New Slovakastan about becoming a shareholder and The Cerberus Conglomerate about finding a spot on the map!
Not necessary, but it is highly encouraged to join the AA Discord to partake in OOC discussion and see a lot of the RP posts first.

TMV Saturnus
Majors Felix Beutel and Ottmar Messner, leading officers of the TSTF, were watching from the command centre. Each operative was armed with a camera. They were connected to the ear pieces of each squadron. Beutel watched as Ghost 1-1 took out the four pirates. He cleared the room was about to exit before Majo Beutel spoke into the microphone.
Ghost 1-1, I want you to get me a clear look at one of the pirates. Check his arms.
Yes, sir. Ghost 1-1 said as he knelt down at the pirate. He gave Major Beutel a clear look at his face as they began a database search before checking his left arm which was covered by a sleeve. Ghost 1-1 slowly pulled up the sleeve and saw nothing on it before going to his right arm. On the right arm, there was a tattoo of an Orthodox Cross and two swords replacing the bars that go across (the ones that differ the Orthodox Cross from the Catholic/Protestant Cross). The image was also searched by the tech crew of the TMV Saturnus.

Ghost 2
As Ghost 1 was moving through the bottom deck, Ghost 2 was moving up stairs slowly and clearing their corners. The squadron moved through and cleared multiple rooms. As they were moving, Ghost 2-8 suddenly called the rest of the squadron over.
Sir, I think Ive found something. Ghost 2-8 said.
What is i- what in the name of the Almighty? Ghost 2-1 exclaimed under his breath. He quickly went to his earpiece. Majors, Ive found some kind of bomb, I think.
Back on the TMV Saturnus, Majors Beutel and Messner looked at the camera. Neither of them could identify the bomb.
Messner grabbed the microphone and spoke. Ghost 2, split up your squad. Have the rest secure the deck with Ghost 3. We are calling a bomb expert to the room ASAP. Quicker you can secure the deck, the better.
Yes, sir. Ghost 2-1 replied before relaying the orders to the rest of Ghost 2.
A bomb expert was called in and arrived in four minutes. He walked up to the Majors and saluted them. Ensign Kai Wahner, reporting for duty. He said.
At east. The Majors said in unison. Messner spoke first. We need you to identify this device. He told the Ensign, pointing to a picture captured by Ghost 2-3. The Ensign took a careful look before turning white.
Sirs, that isnt any normal bomb. That is a dirty bomb. He said in an urgent tone. The entire room quickly went silent as Major Beutel picked up his radio.
We need a bomb team sent to Oil Rig 52 ASAP. We have a dirty bomb in the AO, I repeat. We have a dirty bomb in the AO.
As Major Beutel was calling for a bomb team, Major Messner went to his microphone. Ghost squadrons 4 and 5 need to be sent to the oil rig. This operation is now top priority and we need the oil rig cleared ASAP. There is a dirty bomb on the rig and we can not let that bomb detonate.

Seeing this terror madness, Rasumplia is willing to help, but it is lacking of proper military, and its arms industry is not very supported. As a option, we are willing to export Apples to foreign militaries... because every hero eats healthy.

Tesdai, New Tussia
Just clamp down on their civil rights. Ive left political freedoms open, so that the people have the ability to vent their opinions, but not actually do anything. It would encourage nuanced dialogue to convince government, who are selected based on their competence and morals, to change things.
Whether they do or not is another matter, but you get the idea...

I currently see that there is a vacant position, of the CIO. Are we planning on holding a special election, to elect a nation to that position? Is this a role that needs to be filled?
New Tussia, Antarctican Immagrants
I think so if so Ill run
The CIO has actually never been filled and is appointed by August himself. I find it highly unlikely it will ever be filled to be honest, both due to requirements of the job, the increased difficulty it would take to outdo the bot at this point, and the fact that August has taken a mostly behind the scenes role at this point in his career.

Do you think it would be a good idea to run for Chief Communications Officer, I want to get the position but I'm still unsure about joining the fray
Hooseria is pretty ingrained in the region, but I haven't seen him much out doing embassy things or terribly active. I think it's worth a shot if you can get together a good campaign and show some activity.

NOTICE OF EMBARGO AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF ARTEVENIA
DARKAN, DARKAN CAPITAL DISTRICT, FEDERATED EMPIRE OF ARTEVENIA
Regarding the illegitimate communist government occupying the provinces of Seliron, North Etarin, and Tarsen, and known as the "Democratic People's Republic of Artevenia".
For sixty-five years there has been a truce between the Federated Empire, the legitimate government of Artevenia, and DPR Artevenia.
However, on December 11, DPR Artevenia dictator Utzavin Zfarshzhantak has threatened war against the Federated Empire. The dictator demanded that the Federated Empire surrender
thrity percent of its territory.
The Federated Empire adamantly refuses to agree with the dictator's terms. In response to the communist threat, the Royal Artevenian Navy has ordered a blockade of the occupied
provinces.
The Federated Empire mandates that ships from other nations attempting trade with the occupied provinces will be subject to inspection and routed away.
The Federated Empire of Artevenia requests that nations do not attempt trade with the occupied provinces.
In addition, the Federated Empire of Artevenia requests that other nations cease diplomatic relations with the illegitimate communist government known as DPR Artevenia.
The communist dictatorship is warned that the Federated Empire of Artevenia stands in defense of its monarchy and its democracy.
Signed on this day, December 17, 2020,
Prime Minister Karol Tikandir

FBC (Friedmanican Broadcast Channel) - Developing News:
Word has trickled into our news desk that that three leading Qumarian (Friedmanicas southern neighbor) scientists perished today in apparent assassinations. Friedmanican officials have been silent on the attacks, but they follow years of tensions regarding Friedmanicas demands that Qumaria end its nuclear and chemical weapons programs. The tensions have been fed by long standing religious and territorial disputes, and just this past week Friedmanica completely shut down its already strictly controlled border checkpoints.
Mehmet Qirazi, the head of Qumarias nuclear program, was said to be giving an outdoor speech at a University in the seaside town of Akaba when several explosions went off in the crowd killing a yet unknown number of onlookers.
Witnesses say Qirazi was rushed to his car unscathed by his security detail. Two minutes later as they frantically raced the scientist along a coastal road away from the university his motorcade struck an IED flipping two of the three cars. Following the blast at least ten unidentified gunmen ambushed the damaged vehicles killing Qirazi and his entire security detail. One eyewitness has stated that the gunmen immediately egressed into the ocean.
Further reports have indicated that Qirazis right hand man, a nuclear technician named Muhammad Volkov, was shot and killed by a woman who appeared to be a student during the chaos as crowds fled the University. The assassin was gunned down in an ensuing firefight with police.
Simultaneous to the University attacks the Qumarian Minister of Science, Anton Kanter, died of an apparent heart attack while out to lunch in Qumaria City, the countrys capital. Kanter, 62, was long rumored to be heading undisclosed chemical weapons programs under the order of the nations leading council of Mullahs. Following Kanters heart attack two of his much younger security guards were hospitalized with heart palpitations and severe blistering on their skin. Qumarian officials have stated that they have yet to discover the method of Kanters assassination, but they suspect it was some sort of aerosol attack.
The Qumarian government has made it clear that they believe Friedmanica is behind the assassinations, but they have been unable to present any evidence. Investigations will be ongoing and the Friedmanican government has remained silent. Reaction in the international community has been mostly muted by news of larger terrorist attacks in other countries in the past week. One Qumarian spokesperson openly speculated that Friedmanica deliberately acted while the worlds attention was elsewhere. No other country has the means and motivation to have pulled this off than those Friedmanican EID (External Intelligence Directorate) dogs he said. Mr. Raz is a terrorist who must pay.
When asked by reporters if Prime Minister Raz has any comment his Press Secretary Sasha Briscoe stated that a lid is on for the day, and the Prime Minister is spending the night at home watching football with his sons.

Ghost 2
Ghost 2-1 was shocked. A dirty bomb? On an oil rig? Were these really pirates? Are they terrorists, rebels? A thousand questions ran through his head but he shook it off. He had a job to do. Who knows how far the radiation from the dirty bomb could spread; how many food supplies it could poison.
Ghost 2-6 and 2-8, you two watch the staircase. Make sure no one comes down unless theyre TSTF, Ghost 4 and 5 are coming to assist us. We must secure the rig. Ghost 2-3, 2-4, and 2-2. You three watch the bomb and ensure no pirates come down. Ghost 2-5 and I will secure the rest of the deck with Ghost 3, wholl come here shortly. Clear? Ghost 2-1 informed his team.
Orders are clear, sir. The squad replied in near perfect unison as they followed out his orders.
As Ghost 2 cleared their deck, Ghost 4 and 5 arrived at the oil rig. After about half an hour, the bottom decks were cleared and Ghost 1-1 relayed back to the TMV Saturnus.
Sirs, the bottom decks are cleared. No sign of any detonators or leaders. Has anything come of the tattoos?
Major Beutel spok. His counterpart, Messner, was busy preparing more TSTF operatives to land on the oil rig via helicopters. Yes, weve found that these arent pirates. Theyre a terrorist cell; part of the Soldiers of the Archangels. We thought they were defunct due to a lack of activity, but today weve learnt the opposite. Reinforcements are coming to assist you and the rest of Ghost Unit in seizing back the oil rig and deactivating the nuclear device onboard. You have my permission to move forwards and fire at will; but Id prefer it if you captured a few of the terrorists for information.
Ghost 1-1 nodded on his end. Yes, sir. Ill order Ghost 2 and 3 to move up as we cover their flanks. Ghost 1-1 out.

The crew of the Saturnus and the other surrounding vessels were on high alert. They were moving about as they prepared for the dirty bomb to detonate. Ghost unit had begun to face heavy resistance as the so-called Soldiers of the Archangels realized the TSTF had boarded the ship. As the fighting increased, the bomb squad had arrived and the Phoenix unit was being deployed via helicopters.
Ghost 1
Ghost 1 had joined the other units in fighting the terrorists. Tracers flew past them as they returned fire.
Ghost 2-4 is down, sir! We are taking heavy fire! Ghost 1-5 reported. Helicopters flew in and began to strafe the terrorists. Ghost 1-1 realized that members of the crew of Oil Rig #52 were also fighting back against them. It wasnt just a hijacking, it was a full-blown mutiny.
Phoenix 1
Phoenix squadrons one, two, and three were flying in on about six helicopters. There were more flying in the formation as they provided covering fire. RPG rounds flew past them as well as small arms fire, attempting to prevent the reinforcements from arriving.
The pilot for Phoenix 1 went onto his radio. Sir, we are taking heavy fire. The landing will be hot and we can not promise it will be successful. He said to Phoenix 1-1.
Phoenix 1-1 spoke back in an aggressive voice. I dont care! If the terrorists succeed, we will lose more than a few men. He said.
As they flew in, an RPG round hit Phoenix 2s helicopter. This is Phoenix 2, we are going down! I repeat, we are going down! The pilot reported as the helicopter careened into the ocean in a fiery ball, killing the entire crew.
The battle would continue for five more minutes until...

SPEECH GIVEN BY UTZAVIN ZFARSHZHANTAK, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF ARTEVENIA
ULSKAN, ULSKAN DISTRICT, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF ARTEVENIA
Comrades, the capitalist imperialists in Darkan have announced a blockade against the Democratic People's Republic of Artevenia on December 17.
The Federated Empire is determined to destroy the proletariat resistance against capitalism. However, we shall not stand down.
Communism will stand strong against the imperialist threat.
Their Emperor and their Prime Minister have been warned that if they do not end the blockade by December 27, we will have no choice but to declare war.
Comrades! Soldiers of Communism! It is time that we stand together, with our Party as vanguard, against the capitalist menace.
However, while the capitalists in Darkan threaten us from without, the evil counter-revolutionaries threaten us from within.
Beware the lying face of the Federated Empire, for they will use counter-revolutionaries to disrupt our efforts.
Soldiers of the Artevenian People! We will be victorious against the capitalists.

TMV Saturnus
The Saturnus crew stood silent in shock. Across the water, they could see the entire rig blow up; decimating most of it. Parts of the oil rig remained somewhat intact but shrapnel flew everywhere; taking out three of the remaining five helicopters transporting the wounded of the Ghost unit. Majors Felix Beutel and Ottmar Messner just watched in shock as the oil rig erupted into flames. Every sailor, soldier, and pilot just watched as the largest oil rig Tussia had was destroyed and practically vaporized.
Major Beutel slowly walked to the radio. Send in patrol boats and helicopters. We must salvage what we can from the destruction that just unfolded in front of us and rescue any survivors. Send a message to parliament that we need clean-up crews and medical beds.
News stations across the country were reporting the disaster. The death count was not yet released due to the fact that most bodies most likely couldnt, or never will, be recovered due to the sheer destruction.
Families across the nation mourned. Those who lost family members and friends would weep as Tussian King Wilhelm Schwarzstein III would prepare a speech for later in the day.
Parliament, meanwhile, was in utter chaos. A committee was being formed by Prime Minister Von Essen to lead Tussia into retaliation against the terrorists.
//OOC: I had to change the dirty bomb to a large amount of explosives after talking to Bonnie Blue Republic about WMDs. I plan on posting the speech by King Schwarzstein later today but chances are I will be busy. Thanks for reading this, lads! Its far from over!

Address by Prime Minister Karol Tikandir
DARKAN, DARKAN CAPITAL DISTRICT, FEDERATED EMPIRE OF ARTEVENIA
My fellow Artevenians, we stand at the precipice of conflict.
The communist dictatorship in the occupied provinces have threatened war against the Federated Empire.
This is not a time to panic, but a time to be prepared. We still hold the hope for peace, but all Artevenian citizens should prepare for the possibility of war.
Citizens living near the border should be prepared to evacuate if war is declared.
If war comes, we must stand in defense of our democracy. We will prevail against the communist threat.
The Federated Empire stands for human rights and the freedom of all peoples. The communist dictatorship, in contrast, has committed the gravest violations of human rights, holds among the most fraudulent elections in the world, and constantly displays aggression.
Furthermore, I would like to address other nations of the world. We ask fellow democratic nations to stand with us against communist aggression. We must stand together against dictatorial warmongers who wish to extend their misrule.
Tesdai, New Tussia, Rasumplia
AYE, KICK THEM THEIR RED ASSES! YEEEHAAAAW!
Tussian National News
The King was wearing his typical attire; a suit and tie. King Wilhelm Schwarzstein III was young, especially for a king. He was twenty-five and somewhat inexperienced on the political side of things. He served as an officer in the Tussian army, quickly rising up in the ranks. His father, King Marius Schwarzstein, died unexpectedly from a stroke when he was fifty-nine. Nonetheless, King Wilhelm was a charismatic and passionate speaker. He wasnt without his faults, though, as he was an aggressive speaker and very militaristic in his decisions. King Schwarzstein has been ruling for only a year and his decisions have already impacted the country; he is heavily spiritual, taking advice from multiple powerful Tussian Patriarchs and bringing God into the government and nation more than any other King has in Tussian history. Unlike most nobles, he served as an enlisted man before earning a battlefield commission.
The King walked to the microphone and cleared his throat as he set his speech down.
The great people of Tussia. Today, a tragedy has befallen our glorious nation. Early this morning, oil rig number fifty-two blew up in a terrorist attack. As of current, there are no reported survivors besides the injured soldiers evacuated in their valiant attempt at preventing the terrorist attack. Our country is in mourning, and we must recover. Later today, the Tussian Orthodox Church will be holding a national prayer to not only guide the lost souls to heaven, but to condemn the attackers. There will be revenge; the might of the Tussian people will fall upon the attackers, God will strike our enemies down. We will find the leaders of the terrorist group who attacked our nation and he will pay. For every Tussian soldier killed in our attempt to reclaim the oil rig, twenty more terrorists will fall. You have my word on that.
King Wilhelm finished, the crowd roaring as jets flew overhead. Some were unsettled by his words, feeling like he was being too aggressive. By the looks from some of his advisors, this wasnt really the speech he had been given. Nonetheless, the crowd was roaring with excitement, singing the Tussian anthem and throwing up the salute; a right fist stretched into the air. The anthem they were singing wasnt really the official Tussian anthem, but rather the military anthem. King Marius had used it and introduced it more into schools rather than the Tussian anthem and it became the de facto Tussian anthem.

Our capitol has exploded, luckily, there are survivors. I request of you to remain calm and to not panic. We are currently figuring out who did this, and will make an announcement briefly. In the mean time the designated survivor has taken control, and is continuing the day to day operations, and will be the leader until our next election. UNOE will be holding elections for our nation for all the vacant and vacated positions. Now onto the press conference "This was not a result of an accident, this was a result of a terrorist attack. To our wonderful nation This day will be remembered for all of eternity by our great nation. I know this frightens many of you. I understand. Believe me though when I say we will find the terrorists, and they will be brought to justice. Internationally Any Nation who knows about, or is aiding and helping the terrorists will be seen as an act of war. If you have intelligence on the terrorists or believe them to be in our nation, if you let us know now, we will consider peace. Let it be known that there was a warning before the storm.

Message from the Tussian Intelligence Agency (TIA)
Upon investigation of footage taken from the helmet cameras of Ghost Unit, we have confirmed the identities of the organisation that orchestrated the attack and multiple suspects.
The attack on oil rig number fifty-two was committed by a known international terrorist organisation called the "Soldiers of the Archangels." It is a highly radical, religious fundamentalist group that we have known about for some time but had no signs they were capable of such an attack.
We do not yet know the identity of the group's leader and are conducting a full-scale investigation.

Jingle Sirens,
By Aron Dulkarin
Considering the possibility of our country going to war in the holiday season, here is the following song.
Dashing through the barricades,
on a two belt open tank.
over the fields they go,
rambling all the way.
Conference rooms ring,
Making plans tonight
What madness to hear
a raving dictator tonight!
O, Jingle sirens, jingle sirens, jingle all the way.
O what fun it is to hear the ramblings of a madman.
Jingle sirens, jingle sirens, jingle all the way.
O what fun it is to hear the ramblings of a madman.

In additional news, Artevenian cartoonists have been depicting Chairman Zfarshzhantak as the Grinch.

The Eai Royal Post (national newspaper)
King Potauir of Yiah has been removed from office following police investigation into his involvement in a parliament scheme with multiple politicians. In the investigation and later the trial of King Potauir it was discovered that King Potauir had collaborated with multiple politicians to remove labour laws that were put in place to protect the safety of citizens and allow the poor to continue to benefit from a growing economy. Due to this many companies have paid their employees much less leading to an economic crisis. While the economy has been in a trend of growing there has been a major increase in cases of absolute poverty. Due to this King Potauir has been declared a batejilotrugopera (dishonoured traitorous leader) and removed from office for letting his people starve on the streets.
In his place his son, the now King Pierre, has declared he will take a position of promoting economic growth and scientific advancement while encouraging a devout Catholic faith in the people of Yiah. He has stated he intends to stop the increasing poverty his father and the aristocratic parliament members he collaberated with have created. He is also noted for calling into question the legitimacy of the parliament on numerous occasions and has already promised to purge the parliament of corruption. He has also the investigation of every parliament member's possible involvement in this scheme and arrest of any dirokulapas (traitors) involved.
His father being declared a batejilotrugopera does put him at a disadvantage as if he himself does not prove himself worthy for the throne he may be removed from office and demoted to the rank of grand duke, leading another noble family to take charge of the monarchy.

People that use LEpedia: a couple things of note. Currently the History section looks like this:

Also, right under the infobox code, it says

It'd be nice if you could switch the LEPedia part to LEpedia, we decided it looked better that way.
The templates have been updated but anyone that already has a page will need to update their's.
Also: If you have a page, throw it my way so I can put it on the eventual master page. Wouldn't mind having any other wiki style stuff you have either.
Thank y'all. And thanks to [nation=noflag]The Cerberus Conglomerate[/nation] for catching a couple of those errors.
