Loftegen 2 wrote:James Ysar, Prime Minister of Loftegen 2, sat at his his desk thinking about the war looming in the south. As with the popular saying, the country had no dog in the fight, but he was worried. The country's ally, Leonism, looked about to go to war. It seemed that the the Valkyries were about to ride, in the case of his nation's namesake hypersonic bombers, literally. The Council hadn't yet voted for war, but if it did Loftegen2 would lead, as doctrine required, with a massive nuclear attack.

"What do you see, Lady?" James asked.

"Only darkness," came the answer.

Embassy of the Imperium of Leonism, Altenburg, Loftegen 2

Untergeneral Johann Jaspers was worried. The ambassador to the Republican Federation of Loftegen lived in the country for nearly a year now. He knew the mindset and the doctrines of the locals better than anyone in the Imperial government. He was well aware of the implications: Loftegen was an ally of the Imperium. If the Imperium went to war, Loftegen would likely follow, out of a deep-felt loyalty to the alliance (their treaty did actually not bind either party to partake in offensive wars of the the other).

Johann knew what this meant. Nuclear war. It was what the Republican Federation Forces trained for every day, so deeply routed in their strategic doctrines.

The Imperials, not possessing any WMDs but fielding overwhelming conventional firepower compared to almost any other state in Lazarus, with only Snoodum and Custadia being on par, tended to forget about these implications. Surely they planned for a "surgical" strike of some kind, no matter how euphemistic that was?

Johann grabbed his phone. He had to make some calls to avert disaster...

Somewhere in Loftegen
Tanja Fassberg always felt the presence of Lady Zaharra with her magical senses, ever since she arrived in the country to study and further her own magical talents. Today, she felt an especially dark stream of feelings radiating out from Altenburg. Something was amiss, but what was it? Tanja had cut herself off from all forms of news and media, to mediate and study. She was unaware of what was going on in the wider world. Maybe she should make an exception today, go to the nearest village and read a newspaper?

Tubbius the Flabby is about to experience the discomfort of trying to wiggle into some clothes only a month old after He has been quite the piggy since November 30, gorging on only cookies, pies, doughnuts, cakes, and milk in the interim. It will be a breathtaking experience, unfortunately.

Makeshift orbital bombardment platform; 00:13
"Go fish," said Yakov Yakimovich Yablonsky, rubbing the dark circles under his eyes. He held in his hands a six, an eight, a nine, a ten, and a five. Dmitri Dmitriyevich Dyatlov, confused, replied,
"That's not how this game works."
"Oh well," Yakov said, resigning. He poked the floor and floated up to the commander's position of the tank. The floor, he knew, was not where the Earth was. In reality, they were upside down, and if he didn't fire the maneuvering thrusters every once in a while that was awkwardly built into the hull, they would fall into the Earth's atmosphere and burn up. He flipped the glass box open and took hold of the throttle. Apparently, that part had been salvaged from a MiG-25. He flicked the throttle back, and the sound of the muffled hiss of the thrusters escaped through the steel bits of the tank.
Dmitri appeared to resign as well and drifted towards the speaker of the radio. He flipped through a few frequencies and finally caught the fizz-crackle of the FRCP channels.

Charlie had an interesting lunch by the seaside. Unknown to Charlie, Vlad the Impaler ordered what he was getting too. They both were about to sit next to each other when Vlad had to be so easily called away; it was a family emergency, with his cousin Timothy getting scratched by a cat.

"Get the codebook, get the book!" Dmitri yelled, uncapping a pen and writing what he had heard on his hand as he squeezed the receiver between his head and shoulder. Yakov fumbled with getting the book out of the velcro straps and began ferociously flipping through the poorly-organized manual.

Eventually, they got the memo. It was still very vague, as the new codes had only been in use for two or three years. However, they did determine that the FRCP, implied by Vlad the Impaler, had not broken out in war yet, but the sketchiness of the cat scratching Timothy and it being a "family emergency" probably implied that there was a great deal of foul play at hand. They were close, though.

Almost another hour later, they heard another transmission. This time, it was a list of words that had a special meaning when decoded. A list of cities and locations, most of which were in New vedan, others in Mussoliniburg. They wrote down the targets The codebook had a codeword for nearly any settlement greater than a small town, which sometimes made it difficult to find a single city, but also gave them a great idea of what they needed to shoot at.

They wrote down the specific targets that had been mentioned and used the exterior sensors package to identify how their orbit lined up with the targets. This was going to be a hell of a war, and they were going to be the gods of destruction for the whole period of the hour that they managed to last.

A group of friends casually stroll through the cities of New vedan. They go through looking at all the tourist sites. As they make their way through the city, they notice the hateful and distrustful stares they receive when they pass or speak with Leonism accents. They come to a rally for the Guardians of the Empire.

Making their way through, they seamlessly transition into speaking fluent Vedanian. One splits off and heads towards the back, another 2 heads towards the middle and the fourth heads towards the speaker of the rally Kragronak Shashtak. The 4th member approaches Kragronak Shashtak and subtly cocks a gun underneath his jacket. The man in the back raises an automatic pistol and fires a clip into the air. As chaos breaks out, the 2 members in the crowd scream out in leonism accents "FOR THE IMPERATOR!" The suicide vests underneath their jackets go off killing dozens of civilians and wounding dozens more. As chaos ensues, the 4th man raises a gun and shots Kragronak Shashtak in the head, heart, and head again.

The 2 remaining assassins turn their guns onto themselves and fire one bullet directly into their skulls.

In Glorious Society, a man walks into the New Vedanian embassy. He is dressed formally and is smiling. He leaves a note for Mr. Kleinman. The note states that the job is done.

Uhh what would you like me to do New vedan my nations' full resources are at your full disposal when it comes to this matter. We will find who is responsible and we will prosecute them. If you prefer we can send the parties responsible to this travesty to Mussoliniburg here we can use corporal punishment.

OOC:
Oh wow! Nicely written.

The fact that any real citizen of Leonism would never perform a suicide attack is a detail unlikely to be known in New vedan. Thus the attack will work as intended, although the Imperium will almost immediately know it wasn't really their citizens who carried it out...

OOC: Thank you. I was basing it off the thought that just like in Real Life, racists are too dumb to really know about the outside world and like you yourself mentioned in some factbooks, Leonism is only dropping its heavily isolationist status recently so not many people would really know about their temperment.

Quick question. Does anyone have any links or resources/templates to making FactBook pages? I know it has gotten better since I last played though I have seen some pretty cool layouts and just curious if anyone has any suggestions

Mussoliniburg

The post office of the government in Mussoliniburg was a high-security facility. The officials working here were used to screen incoming letters or packages for letter bombs, poison or similar threats to the government officials addressed by the post.

One letter they received today was especially suspicious. The strange format of the envelope alone gave away its foreign origin. The text font was also uncommon, and the seal with its foreign language text was the final straw.

The content seemed to consist of a single sheet of thick high-quality paper, and no traces of poison or explosives were found. All scans were negative.

Ultimately, a brave official just opened the envelope. There was a short letter inside:

ULTIMATUM

TO the government of Mussoliniburg

We demand that you outlaw slavery in your country by January 31st 2020 at the latest, and ensure that all slaves are freed at the latest by midnight on March 1st 2020. Furthermore, we expect a positive reply by December 17 of this year, and similar measures to effectively curb child labour in your country.

Should you choose to decline our demands or ignore this letter, we will support a military invasion of your country by Danwaria to forcefully liberate all slaves and replace your government with one that is willing and, able to uphold basic human rights in their country.

You have no hope of resisting us. We have one of the largest armed forces in Lazarus and powerful allies. Your allies in New vedan will make little difference, if they intervene at all.

Do the right thing, the human thing and save yourselves by doing so.

Absolutely correct! A scapegoat is even easier to scapegoat if nobody in the target population knows much about them...certainly the case here!

We will not be intimidated by you just because of the size of your army and the size of your navy. You do not scare us. We will not be intimidated and abused because you are more powerful. The demands you ask of our great nation is unreasonable because you are asking us to commit economical suicide. Also you need to check your facts we do not use slave labor that is not the point of this conflict. The reason for this conflict is our large child labor force. We do not have slavery.
