Morin' everyone!

Before the sinking of the TNV Derai, Ayeinc was locked in a tight presidential race (and general election). The incumbent, Malin Dofei (Conservative), who was the original signer of the Ayeincian Constitution, was faced up against Stephen Adoric-Marrick (Liberal Democrat). Many analysts predicted early that Pres. Dofei would remain, but early exit polls showed that Mr. Adoric-Marrick and his party would win both houses of the legislature and the presidency.

Wonderful news. I welcome a liberal change in leadership - I hope the exit polls are accurate.

[spoiler=The Battle Of Wilyta]

Although the war with the Yaldians has stalled in wake of the peace negotiations, the Ozovian Civil war continues to ravage the country.

Finally, after a long period of stagnation on the front, the National Assembly under the leadership of General Pawel Litovski broke through the Provisional Governments defenses in the Wilyta mountain pass. This was a major blow to the Provisional Government, with Wilyta being the main defensive fortification that kept the Assemblies armies out of the flat Ozovic plains. With the Provisional Army there shattered and the region offering little in the ways of defensive terrain; the Senaz will have to divert large amounts of men to the plains, opening up new possibilities for incursions from the far east and north.

Meanwhile in Assembly territory, although word of Litovski's victory was received warmly, many military officials criticized his tactics- mostly the bombings of mountainsides to cause rockfalls; which although causing much disarray in Provisional fortifications, greatly endangered and even claimed the lives of many Ozovians: both civilian and Assembly forces.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Tensions with Khora]

Although the Free State of Khora successfully managed to break free from Ozovian rule, independence has practically split the Khoran people in half; with the southern Khoran area's breaking free and the pro-Assembly northern Khoran regions joining the revolution. Now with the Provisional Government desperate to ease the pressure on the new front right on their home territory, Provisional representatives contacted the Khoran government; promising them the northern territory and a recognition of their sovereignty if they joined the war on the Provisional Governments side.

Although an alliance with the fledgling "nation" may seem to hold no sizable advantage from an outside perspective, especially when judged on the same level as Malbati, the truth is that the Khoran Free State is a far more organized and powerful entity. Khoran-Occupied lands are one of Ozovia's industrial heartlands, housing some of the largest mining and processing centers in the whole country and being rich in natural resources like coal, steel, and timber.

The political situation in Khora is likewise far superior to the conditions in Malbati, with a centralized, military-lead government and local administration by tribal councils. If Khora was to enter into the war, it would greatly impede the Assembly's efforts to take Kastov and end the war swiftly.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Dire Circumstances]With news of the Assemblies peace talks with the Yaldians reaching the Provisional Government, General Zharkov and other key members of the Provisional Senaz sent a letter to Yaldian Territories president, Vladimir Nazarbayev:

Mr. Nazarbayev, it is the hope of the Ozovian Senaz and of the people of Provisional Ozovia as a whole that you do not withdraw from our nation. The conditions on the front are in fact dire, and we fear that the Provisional army will not be able to fend off the communist onslaught, especially with assistance from the "International Brigade". We fear that the communists will bring only ruin and turmoil to Ozovia if they are allowed to succeed. If your intentions are for a free, democratic Ozovia, then we beg you to continue your support of its legitimate government"[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Total Mobilization]The National Assembly, since the dawn of the war, has been fast at work to revive and expand Ozovian industry. Now, with the Assembly's internal situation stabilized, the military has taken near-total control of the factories, replacing the previous natural leadership of organized worker councils in directing the production. Now, the bulk of Ozovian industry has been focused on the production of military equipment, especially anti-air guns, artillery, and light tanks for the Assemblies anticipated attack on the Provisional heartland.[/spoiler]

News,CLTV 1

[spoiler]President Luka Gavric commented on current developments in Ozovia.

,,We now see in Ozovia that the situation is getting worse and this is thanks to the so-called states.Malbati and Khora are now reminiscent of a cancerous tumor that spreads across the country.What tells us all that they are the main factor of instability in the country.Obviously, the war will continue, these two tumors can be declared independent, but the main thing is that no one else has recognized them as future.If anyone does the opposite, he can consider himself an accomplice in the continuation of the war.,,

The President also made his comment on the self-determination rights of Malbati and Khora

,,The will of the people to self-determination exists, but it must be realized within the framework of the state of Ozovia.The right to self-determination conflicts with the interests of territorial integrity ,in international law there are no clearly recognized criteria for defining the concept of “people” in the context of self-determination.And the support of the separatists is contrary to international law, and we saw who did it .I am not against the right of a nation to self-determination; I am against unilaterally withdrawing from the country. Peaceful "divorce" is possible, but only with the consent of the "mother state". Territorial integrity must be unshakable, and the principle of nation on self-determination implies self-determination within a country.We only recognize them as autonomy but as an independent state, no.,,

He also commented on the decision to draft early regional elections for March 1.

,,I know that the opposition did not expect it, I know it well. But they provoked it, especially the Communists.With which we reached an agreement in October, which is that regional coalitions are preserved until the 2021 elections.But they first broke it on December 28 in Planton City by overthrowing Mrs. Dunn's government.And yesterday they tried to overthrow the assembly majority in Davidovgrad. I had no intention of tolerating this and called early regional elections, not for my own party, but to prevent chaos at the regional level.They want a war, I'll give it to them.,,[/spoiler]

Ministry of Culture Update 1/2

As Minister of Culture, I am pleased to announce that Czech Germania has been chosen to be the Deputy Minister of Culture. Czech Germania is a very involved member of the community, with government experience, skills for high-quality roleplay, and a strong sense of vision that I am very excited about.

Please join me in congratulating Czech Germania for their new position!

Ministry of Culture Update 2/2

As promised, I will now share my Ministry of Culture Agenda as Minister of Culture.

1. Ministry of Culture Overhaul of the Statistics System

Currently, all RP statistics are taken from a site known as NS Tracker. The Ministry of Culture will transition away from this system because NS Tracker is run by a region with which we have no relationship. Changes to the NS Tracker are not in our control, and there is currently no way to know how statistics are made. The Ministry of Culture will work to change the statistics system so that Thalassia has its own RP stats system. The change will be limited to a few statistics, regarding population, economics, and defense.

2. Launch the mentor program

The Ministry of Culture would like to make the Ministry more supporting to new nations, and will launch a system for new nations to get involved with the roleplay in Thalassia. This will help encourage structured RP between new nations and integrated nations, while the new nation is able to learn more about and become more comfortable in Thalassian RP.

3. Encourage high-quality RMB RP

Taking from the first and second goals, the Ministry of Culture will transition to have high-quality RMB RP as part of its permanent core priorities. These initiatives will be developed after the 1st two goals are finished. These initiatives may be anything from RP events to changing policies that govern RP.

_________________

As Minister of Culture, I would like to encourage everyone to share any ideas for improvement of the RP system. Please telegram me if you have any ideas, or concerns about the change.

I also encourage anyone to join the Ministry of Culture as part of its staff. If you have any questions, feel free to telegram me.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

The Department of Defense has announced it will remove all NUSA military personal out of Ozovia because of the nations path of neutrality. The DoD follows up saying personal will only be deployed if DACGS demands it or the UOTS needs it.

the yaldians hope to relieve them, "we will not withdraw until a treaty has been worked out alowing the existence of your nation, whether it has a small area to call home, or a war is one and all of ozovia is yours, we will make sure the capitalists of ozovia have there state before we leave." currently troops are being withdrawn from areas, but this is purely to restrategize, and soon enough we will be organised again. yaldia continues to send blueprints and tech to the pg, as well as some vehicles.

while troops are re organised, the yaldians will also begin to send troops to help reinforce kastov, as that will be a very important location in yaldias future plans.

My Resignation

After an inevitable realization of large differences that came in the form of miscommunication and unnecessary escalations, I have come to the decision that the position of Minister of Culture and I are not meant to be. I am proud of everything I did within the Ministry of Culture, but I also know that those accomplishments came from my own personal prioritization of high-quality RP, and getting things done, instead of coming from the many expectations for a Minister of Culture, and the complex, and as I see unnecessary, processes within the government. I will continue to engage through RP, and I will continue high-quality RP. But this short experience of being Minister of Culture has showed me that I, for my own personal work ethic, and my own personal understanding of efficiency, could not work as Minister of Culture under the Arenado administration and within the government of Thalassia. I have the utmost respect for the Ministers in the cabinet, but I now come to the running of RP in Thalassia with disillusion. Seeing that effectively fostering high-quality RP in Thalassia is not, in my experience, a priority, has given me ambivalence towards the administration of RP in Thalassia. I hope that the next Minister of Culture, whomever it shall be, will be able to navigate the government of Thalassia with more skill than I have.

I set out as MoC to improve the state of RP in Thalassia, as I honestly view it as lacking. It is regrettable that it ended up that I was unable to do so as Minister of Culture. If anyone has any questions, telegram me. And if anyone is interested in promoting a high-quality RP environment which Thalassia does seem to be so lacking in, please telegram me, as I would be interested. Just not from a position within the Thalassian government.

Following a controversial law raising the taxes on alcoholic beverages by 650% to combat traffic accidents, the administration under President Steiner is confronted with nation-wide strikes and vandalism targetted towards state-funded institutions.

"Statistically we're losing one police car every twenty minutes due to citizens disrespecting our nation", writes Mark F. Vries, head of the Pantos National Police Department (PNPD), in an open letter to Steiner, "As highly as I admire your legislative experience, Mr. President, we cannot afford these consequences on the long run!"

An official response is yet to be made.

ZNN News, Zylan.

The Minister of Economy, Jerry Strodhelm stood in front of the lower house today to deliver the quadrennial "Zentian Economy" speech. Here is a snippet from the speech.

[spoiler]

"I come here today with great tidings, of a powerhouse economy! Indeed, Zentata's economy has grown larger and stronger than every before, since I came before you last. Growth in particular has been spectacular, with our GDP increasing a hundredfold in the last quarter. I am proud of our efforts to keep it this way, with our blend of economic policys pushing us forward on to the world economic stage. We have started to develop relations with New Camelot Of Avalonia, and United States Of Schiff and hope to meet more with them both on the topic of trade. I cannot stress this enough though, that we must continue to promote this growth even as we reap our share of it. I will say, however, that there is much to improve on, as we are still growing and numerous key industries, such as renewable resources and technology still evade our grasp as major industries of Zentata. I wish to promote the development of these sectors, and as such I will bring forth a bill in a week to create development in these industries." [/spoiler]

In other news, the president today released a statement regarding Ozovia.

"We hope that the Yaldians will withdraw from Ozovia, and that the factions can come to a agreement. We do not wish to see innocent lives lost."

United States Of Schiff

Hello all, moved from Canada, briefly in Europe, but I've been in Canada for almost four months. I see you all have a founder, Canada does not, only an Executive World Delegate. Which according to NS rules they become the numero uno should the founder cease to exist. I decided to move on from Canada probably visit here and there. Europe seems nice and the European Union too. I like the name of this region.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Thalassia. I just have one major thing to announce.

I’m resigning effective immediately.

I’ve very recently got into a very unpleasant scuttle with Sho. I got too emotional, and acted very unprofessionally, for which I have to apologize. Sorry, Sho.

I feel that my temperament could lead to another situation like that, therefore to prevent any situation like that from happening ever again, I’ve decided to resign. It’s probably better for both me and you all.

It’s been pretty fun working with y’all, and I hope I left the region just a bit better than it was before my presidency.

Cheers!

Earlier today the President informed cabinet that he intended to resign. We thank Rockiberg for his service and wish him good luck going forward. As the President has vacated his office I am constitutionally required to hold a Presidential Election in the next 7 days. I urge all WA nations to endorse the acting President Czech Germania. Thank you all.

Veaetmar, Zentata

In the wake of the very unfortunate resignation of our former President Rockiberg, occurring right after the resignation of our former MoC Avalonia, I have assumed the position of Acting President, and will be working diligently to fulfill that role over the course of the next 7 days. I encourage anyone who is interested to run in the election, as it does not hurt at all to have an extra candidate running. The more varied the field for our voters, the better the chance of them deciding on the best possible President to help lead us on past this ordeal.

Worth noting not only is it illegal, but ranked choice voting is impossible with the NationStates polling system. We'd have to start doing voting using some off-site method, which would probably exclude a lot of people who would rather not.

As an unrelated aside, I hope everyone will simmer down a bit and there won't be anymore rash decisions for a while. :)

Channel 1, Regional Elections 2020

[spoiler=Layton is Ready]The capital is ready for regional elections, Mikhail Andropov(b.1970) will be a candidate supported by ruling coalition Conservative Alliance.Today, the headquarters of candidate Mikhail Andropov made an agreement with the parties that are in the Conservative Alliance.Press Secretary of the People's Republican Party,,Christian Alliance,, said:

,,During a conversation with representatives of candidate Mikhail Andropov, we noticed similarities in terms of the arrangement and organization of the city of Layton.So we decided to join as one team in the regional elections. We are 100% confident in the victory.,,

The candidate himself did not hide his satisfaction, he stated that he could not believe that the interests would coincide with the ruling party and its coalition partners.

Short Biography

Mikhail Andropov was born on February 2, 1970 in Layton.He completed elementary, high school and studied law at Layton.However, even before he enrolled in the Faculty of Law, he played a role in the war film The Colonel Must Survive (1988).In 1990, in his third film, he made Perfect Date (a 1990 Clarkstanian romantic thriller movie) became super famous and that's where his career begins.He has starred in most action and thriller films but also in horror and comedy.In 2008 he became a producer, and in 2012 he recorded the third installment of Four Guns[Clarkstanian action, comedy film Parts:I(2006);II(2009);III(2012) and IV(2015)].He has directed two more films as No sleep (2015 psyhological horror film) and Countdown (2018 Action film).At the end of May 2019, he announced his candidacy for Mayor for Layton.He is a martial artist .Maried on clarkstanian actress Lisa Sandler(b.1972) with her he has two children's.

---------

Cecilia Kesselman(b.1968) will be a candidate of the opposition Social-Liberal Coalition.This was stated today by opposition and Democratic Party leader Elizabeth Hall.She said incumbent President Luka Gavric "plays dirty" by abusing his right to call elections.

,,This is pure dirty play, for the second time abused the right to call elections just because the government in Planton City was first overthrown and attempts to overthrow the municipal majority in Davidovgrad.It is an attempt by the ruling party and their partners to destroy the political left after they destroyed the Liberal opposition in parliamentary elections last year.Anyway, our candidate is Cecilia Kesselman who I believe can win the Conservative Alliance candidate,,

Short Biography

Cecilia Kesselman she was born October 15,1968 in the Layton, Dallas suburbs where she graduated from elementary and high school.She is an economist by profession;worked at the Layton Stock Exchange and was the editor of the newspaper Clarkstan Today.Married and mother of three children's

----------

The nominee was also announced by Dimitriy Nazarov(b.1957), Director of the Layton National Theater.He announced this through a web address:

,,This way, as a citizen of our largest and capital city, Layton.I have made a determined, arbitrary and well-intentioned decision to run for Mayor of our Layton.Because in my whole life, through conversation with various people, I find that I have understood the essence of what they want, and that is what I intend to do in my political program for the further organization and development of Layton.And with that, I will endeavor to present my way of acting with respect to my candidates, including my friend Mr. Andropov,i will present my way of doing things.I promise you immediately that if you give me the confidence to lead you as Mayor, my office will be open to all of you.,,

Short Biography

Dimitriy Nazarov was born on July 4,1957 in Polkova,suburb of Layton.He is a playwright by profession, working as a critic at Star Magazine, and after 13 years of work began working at Monument Film.He was here for 8 years to eventually move to the National Theater in Layton where he would become director after 2 years.Married and father of two children's

---------

Alexander Paul(b.1960) enters the race for mayor after Nazarov as an independent candidate.He has already announced his motto, which is, "Let's get Layton back to the people,".He said this motto says it all:

,,The motto I'm going to run in this election says it all.What exactly is it, you'll find out soon.,,

Short Biography

Alexander Paul was born on June 24, 1960 in Nord Ost, Layton.By profession, an electrical engineer, he has worked in the profession for 12 years.He was the son of a successful lawyer, Jack Paul. I have been in business all my life in the field of information technology.Married and father of four children's.

Analysts believe that Mikhail Andropov has the greatest chance so far, both because of his personal popularity and the support of the strongest party.The opposition Social-Liberal coalition candidate Cecilia Kesselman has the least chance.We have one candidate of the right-wing, Mikhail Andropov, the moderate right is Dimitriy Nazarov, while the centrist candidate is Paul and left is Klessman.

They all need to know that their function as mayor is most responsible in comparison to other cities, because 40% of Clarkstan's GDP is made up of the Layton economy.

Decline in Layton's economy would also mean a decline in Clarkstan's GDP.This puts Layton in the campaign first , while parties in other regions ,states and one more district will declare themselves in the coming days.[/spoiler]

Halstaat, State of Norbei, Syndical Republic of Ferstat;

April 2020

Journalists' Syndicate Headquarters

Assembly Room 3 is crowded. Numbers aren't being registered, given that it is not a syndical event, but if they were, they would likely be comparable to the 1988 Election Watch, when the Halstaatian John Rosenbaum - then ex-president of the syndicate and president of the Social-Progressive Party (PSP) - won the popular vote, putting an end to the 32 year long Structuralist Party (PE) government. Today, however, the syndicate was not hosting the same celebratory atmosphere.

Suddenly, silence overcomes the chatter of the attendees. Gustavo Schmidt, vice-president of the PSP, taps the microphone in front of him and arranges the stack of paper he holds. His hands visibly shake. He struggles to start to speak.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "My friends" - he says, hesitant - "My comrades of so long and of so soon." - his voice is slow and frail, suiting an old man such as himself

He pauses, only to wipe his forehead with a bit of cloth, but the audience cheers and claps.

With a deep breath, he returns to speak. The room falls silent yet again, expecting his words.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "Ah, I remember this room. It's changed a lot, but I remember it. I remember it from the time when I wasn't sitting here, with glasses of water, sheets of paper and microphones; I remember it from when I sat there with you. From the time when I had my nicest shirt worn every day, just to get into the auditions for the job." - he coughs, and takes a few seconds to look around the room - "I was here, that day, 32 years ago. Sitting down there, of course. I saw Rosenbaum jump up and down as the results of the tally were finished up, and it became clearer and clearer that he would be the next president of Ferstat. As a matter of fact, I jumped up and down with him!"

The crowd laughs. Gustavo laughs, for a while. Then, he looks down to the paper. His mood sombers.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "But..." - he hesitates, fiddling with a now empty glass of water - "But today, things are different. I loved this party, and you all know that very well. I gave my life unto it, I believed it could change something..." - he looks to the crowd, as if taking a moment to think - "I believed in us, in you. I believed in that a lot, and I still do! I believe, from the bottom of my soul, that we can change this country. I think we can do it. I do, I truly, truly do."

He sighs. The room is eerily silent.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "But I've said already: things are different now. The party is different now. It's changed. And some things are better, yes; we've learned a lot over these years. The mere fact that we've been in power for so long - for 32 years, no less! - is amazing! And we did great things, here in the PSP." - he hesitates - "But..." - he stops, again - "But I'm afraid of what's coming. I'm afraid of what this party has become."

He takes one last pause, somberly, but the tone begins to shift

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "You see, the whole thing has always been a compromise - always, ever since the very beginning, all the way back in '65, when the socialists and the progressives decided that it was only together that they could ever hope to beat the PE. It was team work, then, and now too. It was an overcoming of differences for the greater good. And even so, it still took us 23 more years to beat the structuralists out of office! It was hard, hard work, but we did it together! We cared for each other, and we moderated ourselves. We payed attention not to overstep our boundaries, to keep the alliance going, to keep the party united! We were one!"

His voice fails, and he uses this as an excuse for a pause. He is talking with speed, now; with determination - and he's mobilized the assembly room with him.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "But somewhere along the way, something went wrong. I'm not gonna name names or point fingers; I don't know who it was, or even when it began. But it did. And we didn't notice. And now we're here. 'Here' is a place where I didn't want to be. Because 'here' is the place where every sense of balance, every ounce of moderation, every sliver of consensus - everything has been stripped of our party's inner workings! The socialists of today are not the socialists of Wilhelm d'Éon, who approached the progressives with the proposal that kickstarted this whole thing we call 'the party'! They're authoritarians! They impose their legislation by force a manipulation, and they don't ask for opinions after!" - his clenched fist slams down on the table, prompting him to pause for breath - "Listen... I wanted to change Ferstat. I've always wanted. It's been my dream and my life, both. But I can't do it like this. We can change this country - I'll always remain true to that. But I don't think this party can anymore."

His word hit the assembly room like steel. And soon, the entire country. This speech was viewed everywhere; this moment echoed like an earthquake.

[Gustavo Schmidt:] "I'm sorry, friends. I truly am. May God have mercy upon this Republic; I resign from my position as Vice-President of the Social-Progressive Party"

And with that, he rose from his chair and walked away. Cameras and flashes snapping at every second.

The leaders of the socialist wing of the PSP watched the speech, start to end. Their hands covered their mouves as they thought.

[Jean Wilbs:] "Well. The madman's gone and killed the party."

[Fernando Castro:] "Not only that, he's framed us as the assassins."

Just 4 days later, Gustavo Schmidt refounded the Progressist Party (PP) - a relic of the 50's. Almost 40% of the representatives serving under the PSP migrated to it over the following week. Within a month, the PSP rebranded itself as the Socialist Party - the other deceased party from the 50's

The 32 year rule of the Social-Progressive Party, just like the party itself, has come to an end.

The Socialists, currently, have the presidency of the Republic, but they lack majority or coalitions in both the upper and lower houses of the parliament.

May God have mercy upon Ferstat.

[spoiler=Khora Joins The War!]As dreaded in the National Assembly, the Khorans have joined forces with the Provisional Government. With this new front in the war, the main push towards Kratov will have to be slowed to fend off the Khoran forces. Although Assembly officials are convinced that the war will end in a victory for the socialists, this action will prolong the duration of the war.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Two Forces No More]In the early parts of the Ozovian Civil War, as the country was divided between east and west, an pro-assembly uprising in the far east occurred. This uprising, being lead by prominent military leaders saw significant success; pushing the Provisional Forces to the very borders of Kratov and freezing up a sizable peercentage of the Provisional army. However, after severe Yaldian bombings and a successful Provisional counteroffensive, the Far East Assembly has slowly dwindled in strength, being pushed back further and further. That was of course until the taking of Wilyta.

When the main Assembly army crossed the Barilovich Mountains into the Provisional territory, the Provisional Government was unprepared to combat the large force. One of the Provisional Government's only advantages against the Assembly apart from foreign support was defensive terrain...which the Provisional Capital provinces lacked. It was not long after the crossing that Assembly forces had the Provisional Government on the run, taking large swaths of southern land and...uniting with the Far East. With new supply lines and communications joining the two revolutionary forces, the Far East Assembly is once again revitalized.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Peace Talks]The Ozovian Delegation sent to negotiate the peace with Yaldia would arrive at the The Ausdonian Republic. The delegation would be made up of three rather important revolutionary Ozovian figures:

Jakub Wojowski: Ozovian socialist thinker formally imprisoned under the Monarchist regime.

Anton Yakovich: Leader of the Ozovian Confederalists, one of the biggest leftist factions in the country.

Janusz Kamienowski: A prominent member in the former Ozovian diplomatic corp, he worked abroad trying to cultivate support for the Ozovian revolutionaries before being imprisoned by the Monarchy.[/spoiler]

The Ausdonian Republic

RP much peace

Yaldia immediatly begins to send support to khora, supplying them with 30,000 troops, and technological aid.

They also decide to send the main of troops to the retreating pg, about 70,000

this leaves kratov with much less defense, as most of its defense was sent off. more troops will arrive from mainland relatively soon though.

[spoiler=peace talks][/spoiler]

Yaldia will send there minister of defence, and the prime minister for starters. Although the president is likely to come, rather than hvaing somebody else say his points.

RP

President Barfield happily receives the Ozovian figures and will attend the peace talks personally with Secretary of State, Austin Kingsley, and Secretary of Foreign Relations, Barbara Harrison.

You can talk about what platform to use in private, but please don’t do so on the RMB, as we can’t easily judge how insecure the platform is and don’t want it to be publicly promoted.

[spoiler=Conflicts With Peacekeeping Forces]Arriving with a significant amount of weaponry, equipment, and men, the peacekeeping coalition had little problems entering the war-torn nation. However, their presence there was far from graceful. Every faction in the country: from the Natives to the Assembly, to even the Provisional Government all openly revealed their distaste for the UOTS's actions. The primary reason for discontent was the fact that no side in the civil war was asked whether Peacekeeper presence was wanted. This especially infuriated the Assembly who viewed the peacekeepers as not only another way for the Yaldians to extend control over the country, but a direct blockade to their push east; a fact that relieved the Provisional Government, potentially giving them time to regroup, but did not overshadow the fact that they weren't asked permission either.

The rapid deployment and non-voluntary nature of the peacekeeping efforts also lead to severe and oftentimes deadly misunderstandings between Coalition and Ozovian forces; one of the largest occurring when Assembly air squadrons intercepting Yaldian-Speaking Peacekeeper Comms on a military vessel and proceeded to sink the ship, killing the whole crew, confusing it for a Yaldian vessel. Such instances would be common, such as when Provisional Mountaineers, ordered to stop their incursion onto Assembly soil by the Coalition, would respond with gunfire- killing peacekeeper forces.

Local populations, especially in Assembly territory, were likewise mistrustful about the UOTs's presence. Peacekeepers were regularly denied access to cities and supplies by local authorities, with local populations being at best indifferent and dismissive, and at worst, hostile to the foreign presence. The hardest toll was laid on Yaldian troops, who were frequently subject to violence by civilians in revenge for Yaldia's mass bombardments of Ozovian population centers.

The natives were likewise opposed to the Coalitions efforts, with nations like Malbati demanding their immediate exit from Malbati lands; while others like Khora seemed to welcome peacekeeper defensive efforts, even assisting with intel and supply, all while disregarding peacekeeper orders and continuing to mount attacks against Assembly forces.

Well....Influence isn't that important here as we have a founder, raiders won't be able to do much if they somehow overcome our delegate's endorsements. However, in a region with a founder that has either ceased to exist, or is inactive, it can become very important to prevent residents from being ejected by raiders who may aim to destroy the community. Same goes for GCRs, but the likelihood of a raid/coup in a GCR is very low, and in Thalassia it doesn't mean much.

[Spoiler=Cadukistan Presidential Election]The presidential election of Cadukistan happend in 01/27 because of a political movement made by the congress to organise a new election, and the polls are already out! The winner is Fábio Auguto from the Socialist Party of the Cadus(PS dos C). He's part of the Nationalist wing and will officially become president in the first of February

Candidate Luís Federico(PSDC):

Vice Julia Snek(PLC)

Direct votes: 48,8%

No Indirect votes

Final votes: 48,8%

Candidate Fábio Auguto(PS dos C):

Vice Rei do Gado Júlio Bento(PCP)

Direct votes: 43,4%

Inderect Votes from Ricardo Establishment(PVT): +7,6%

Final votes: 51,2%

Resume of how the election works

If no candidate has more than 50% plus one votes, other candidates who are not the two with most votes can redirect their votes to which ever candidate they want. In this case Ricardo Establishment (PVT) redirect his votes (7,6% of total votes) to Fábio Auguto(PS dos C) who had 43,4% of votes, to win against Luís Federico (PSDC) who had 48,8%

Context

Everything started when president Luís Federico (PSDC/ Cadunian Social Democratic Party) opened Cadunian borders for refugees and other immigrants. This caused major controversy in the country. By popular demand and nationalistic and anti-immigrant ideals, the PS dos C betrayed the PSDC and allied with the other parties to make a new presidential election to try to revert the situation

The PS dos C leader Fábio Augusto made a coalliation with the PCP (Popular Caducentrist Party) leader Rei do Gado Júlio Bento who are also nationalists, with the difference of the first being far-right and the other far-left. This unprobable cooperation was called the Nationalist Wing

President Federico allied with progresive congressman, famous cadunian progresive personalities and with the PLC (Cadunian Libertarian Party) and other libertarians, they were called the Progressive Wing

The PVT (Back in My Day Party) leader Ricardo Establishment tried to win the election but the lack of support he only got 7,6% of votes. He decided the election at the end redirecting his votes to the nationalists

Yaldian peacekeeper withdrawl

due to yaldians being attacked by civilians, and some other reasons the yaldian government has decided to withdraw there UOTS peacekeepers, although in turn, they will boost their funding towards the peackeeping.

After peacekeeping forces were attacked commanders have given the go ahead to return fire upon any and all violent actions and on the peacekeeping line. Peacekeepers are also given the go ahead to build trenches and to have more firepower on peacekeeping zones. Peacekeepers have switched the All White-Black uniform to camo uniforms in order to protect themselves. The UOTS is debating to make the peacekeeping lines a FFZ (Free Fire Zone) on NA forces.

The Department of Defense has started sending over Reserve soldiers in the NUSA Military to peacekeeping in efforts to stop conflict in Ozovia.

[spoiler=President's Speech Over Attack on Peacekeepers.]While at a UOTS assembly meeting the president had a speech about the attack on Peacekeepers on Ozovia. "It is important for us to end conflicts in the world without the unneeded bloodshed. The attack on the Peacekeepers was a unacceptable war crime. Peacekeepers are out on the front lines making sure mothers and fathers can go back to their spouses and children on both sides. I call upon the Nation Assembly, Anatoliy Sokolov to acknowledge the War Crimes committed on American, Yaldian and Kasnovian forces. We are not here to support a side. We are here to merely stop unneeded violence against every man, woman and child of Ozovia. Yes, the situation has been raised where peace keepers look like they are out to war. Yes Peacekeepers are considering a free fire zone due to your unacceptable acts. Hopefully it will not come to that. But at this point. You, you are deciding that. Anatoliy Sokolov Stop your unforgivable actions against the peacekeepers." [/spoiler]

Hey there. As a short introduction to this post I'd like redirect you to the factbook of Pantos since I'm not that keen on just copypasting its very little content.

I want to express my astonishment and admiration towards all those who treat NationStates like more than "just another game". Obviously there are too many to mention individually, but you probably know yourself if you're part of that. It's jaw-dropping to see how much effort some (many) people put into developing their own fictional nation, including lore, RP, diplomacy and likely more. Some may call it insanity, I call it passion.

I entered this game with the expectation of light role playing and fictional politics, similar to what you see in all those faction-based strategy games for mobile devices, just ever so slightly more intense. What I didn't expect were entire bloody constitutions, people willing to pay for web domains dedicated to their nation/region, professional newspaper articles and Skyrim-tier lore. Truly impressive.

As much as I'd like to get into the diplomacy/community stuff here, I don't think I'm ready to immerse into the experience to an appropriate extent so I'm pretty much left with occasional three-sentence-RP posts and comments like Badivermeraed, that article rocks, mate!

Once again, huge respect for everyone who cares enough about this game to represent themselves and/or their region as closely to an actual country as it can get.

First, this isn't RP. Second, it's interesting you were created a couple hours after he resigned and now you're concerned with the region surviving. Additionally, it's really none of your business how Rocki acted, and no one "enabled" his behavior.
