Search along the Yemeni Coast, 3rd July, 2022
"It's been over a day since the start of a co-operative patrol of the Gulf of Aden between the Republic of Lower Nubia and the Republic of India (
Indusians). The Republic has left a singular P1022, LNS Allaqi, to observe shipping near the island of Socotra. After which the remaining Nubian vessels and relevant Indian vessels heading north of Socotra on Friday night, travelling a distance of 400 km's to the port of Ghaydah, on the Yemeni coast, the Republic then began patrolling the coast south of the port town before travelling west at a slow speed with the LNS Ben Amer followed at a distance of 15 km's by the LNS Omar. Simultaneously the Republic of India has remained close to the port town to observe vessels within and entering or leaving the cities harbour; attempting to match vessels with accounts from previosu raids - often these port towns would have swathes of small fishing boats but primary reports discuss several vessels up to 20 metres in length.
At an average distance of 4 km's from the coast, a safe range, both the Republic's have not found verifiable matches between the vessels around Ghaydah and those that had conducted systematic raids on international shipping in the gulf. Both parties are to meet again at the mouth of the Wadi al Masilah to begin additional reconnaissance near the port of Mukallah. The Republic would radio for the LNS Allaqi to move north too to patrol near Ghaydah, in the absence of the primary force, while the LNS Omar is to move south-east towards the Sultanate of 
Kankundo for refuelling."

of Kankundo 6 years ago, But now i have realized that it has begun to sink starboard after
Unbelievable Flooding.", It has since got bought by the Kankundo government,
and realized that wasent enough.

Anti Piracy Operations in Mallaca Strait
Indian Navy have dispatched INS Mysore (Delhi Class Destroyer), INS Satpura (Shivalik Class Frigate) and INS Kulish (Kora Class Corvette) for counter piracy operations in the Mallaca Strait. Port Blair will act as the resupply point where INS Kulish is already based (The other two ships are based in Visakhapatnam.) We request nations in the region to cooperate and make sure that piracy is not present in the region which is a important route for commerce and travel for the entire world.
That’s kinda sus, I wish I can see amogus 😳😏
Little Andaman Development
Government of India have announced a 10 Billion USD project to develop a 166.1 sq km of area into a city. The purpose of the project is to promote development in the Islands and act as a convenient stopping point for shipping. The project also aims to provide jobs to the local population which would increase the island's income and also keep people away from Piracy in the future.

Crisis in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka in the recent years have been having a rough time, as a protectorate of India, it have faced a decade long civil war, a broken economical policy, poorly planned going green policy, poor economical management and recent unrest which have scared away tourists. The current PM and President who are relatives have been ruling for decades thanks to political arm wrestling and the civil war been used to rally people around them. But this have all changed after the economy finally crashed, as a result people don't even have enough money to buy food, fuel, water, anything. The crisis was been seen coming but no action was taken. As a Protectorate of India, India have started to send aid in the form of Food, fuel and medical supply but large scale protests have broken out across the nation, the biggest one been in Colombo where thousands marched to the Parliament and where brutally beaten by the Police, leaving 2 Dead. What ensued was violence in the city between Protesters and the Police, eventually the Sri Lankan Army was called in who restored order but tensions are very high, in the northern province of Sri Lanka, some 20,000 people left for Tamil Nadu in India. The crisis is getting worse.
(Note: Making a Dispatch on Sri Lanka Protectorate, gonna take time)
Dramatic Actions
The futher protests have led to the situation to worsen, hence using this Opportunity, President Ram Athula and Prime Minister Ramesh Athuna declared National Emergency and using it to their advantage, have deployed the Sri Lankan Military to "Keep Law and Order". This however is basically done to prevent protests, those who brave to stand against the odds are suppressed with several thousands arrested and several fleeing to Mainland India where they hope to seek safety. As a result Tamil Nadu is been filled with refugees with camps been set up and Local and State Government trying to keep the situation under control. Indian Aid is still going into Sri Lanka but reports of the Sri Lankan Military distrupting the flow from Ports and Airports are reported, in an attempt to starve anti government areas into submitting.
Open Source Intelligence
Open Source Intelligence have began to report a Increase in Sri Lankan Military activity across the nation in a effort to Curb the Protests, over 100 are been claimed to be killed and over a thousand injured and not to mention thousands been arrested. It also came to notice that Indian Activity around Sri Lanka also increased with Indian ISR Aircrafts making several rounds near to Sri Lanka and Indian Naval Ships also made nearby passes around Sri Lanka and Sulur Airbase saw a increase in Air Activity and Ground Activity in Ajmer, Agra, Hyderabad, Sagar and Jhansi. It is not clear what the intensions but experts say that its likely Intelligence Gathering on Sri Lankan Military.
Search along the Yemeni Coast, 4th July, 2022
With the rendezvous of the Nubian and Indian (Indusians) anti-piracy fleet at the mouth of the Wadi al Masilah, new searches west along the Yemeni coast were to begin from the Masilah mouth and then end 100km's west of the port of Mukallah, near the village of Balhaf. The Republic of India, with her more armed and capable vessels are to maintain two observation's, one at the port of Mukallah (INS Kochi and INS Tabar), and one at the smaller port of Ash Shihr (INS Teg), and then systematically catalogue vessels in these ports in an identical process as done at Ghaydah. Meanwhile the LNS Ben Amer would travel west, maintaining an average distance of 3km's from the coast, making observations of potential pirate mooring points, while travelling to the new rendezvous port 5 km's south of Balhaf - once there they would begin cataloguing vessels in the harbour of the small town.
Once completed the LNS Ben Amer would radio to their Indian counterparts near the port of Mukallah to then also head west to Balhaf, to then begin another day of reconnaissance west to the largest Yemeni port, Aden.
Due to the increased number of vessels matching the descriptions of pirate vessels near the port of Makullah, additional time has been allotted for observation, for which, it is likely the travel to Aden will not begin until the start of the 5th July. Numerous vessels, considerably larger than those at Ghaydah, do meet the criterion for further investigation and additional allocation of the fleets resources to maintain a presence near the port, the LNS Allaqi, as well as INS Teg, are to remain near Makullah.
The LNS Allaqi, now having spent an additional day watching Ghaydah, is to move west to Mukallah to patrol the waters near the port city alongside INS Teg.
The LNS Omar, at this point is finished refuelling in the Port of Bosasao, under the Sultanate of Kankundo, and is to return north to meet the remaining Nubian and Indian forces before entering near to the port of Aden.
Increase in Naval Forces
Open Source Intelligence experts pointed out that the Indian Navy's INS Vikramaditya Carrier Battle Group is out in the seas with INS Vikramaditya Aircraft Carrier, INS Kolkata and INS Chennai of Kolkata Class Destroyers, INS Talwar and INS Trishul of Talwar Class Frigates. It was also noted that INS Jalashwa (Austin Class Amphibious Transport Dock) along with INS Gharial (Magar Class Landing Ship Tank) and INS Airavat (Shardul Class Landing Ship Tank) are also out in the seas with INS Rava (Rajput Class Destroyer) and INS Shivalik (Shivalik Class Frigate) as escorts. Experts believe that the Amphibious Group possibly could carry a entire Battalion for Beach Landings.
Ultimatum
India was surprised by the current Instability in Sri Lanka and how it is been handled, while Sri Lanka is only a Protectorate of India, Lawmakers in New Delhi have fears that Sri Lanka might become too unstable and bite back India. Indian Military planners bought out old plans from early 2000s which planned a invasion of Sri Lanka incase it ever fell to a foreign nation, the plans were modified for fhe current situation. First issues already came as there were no Indian Armed Forces present on the island as according to the agreement between India and Sri Lanka were India will not station soldiers in Sri Lanka unless Sri Lanka asks or give permission.
After hours of redesigning Invasion Plans, India Finnally asked the Athunas to resign and hold fresh elections. To the surpise of New Delhi they rejected to resign, stating that Sri Lanka needs them despite their disastrous policies.
Early Phase
After the rejection of the Ultimatum, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Lanka. INS Vikramaditya's Mig-29s struck Bandaranaike International Airport, striking the Sri Lankan Air Force assests there, ignoring the Civilian Airport side and the runway to prevent collateral damage. Tricomalee Naval Base was struck with 5 BrahMos Cruise Missiles launched from INS Rajput.
909 Indian Paratroopers from 50th Parachute Brigade dropped from 10 Il-76s over the fields near Jaffna International Airport from where Indian Paratroopers launched a Assault into the airport itself. A Battalion from 91st Brigade of 54th Division landed with 10 BMP-2s and 4 T-90S Bhismas to establish a Beachhead. The Paratroopers and Naval Infantry are been supported by 16 HAL Tejas and 18 Su-30MKIs who are operating from Tamil Nadu while Indian Naval Air Arm Mig-29Ks are now put on Anti Ship Duties and Fleet Air Defense.
Battle of Jaffna
Indian Forces managed to seize the airport and flew and landed in more reinforcements, bringing the strength to 3 Brigade Worth of Soldiers. Indian Forces quickly overrun the Jaffna Peninsula as Sri Lankan Army is speard thin trying to keep the population under control. Jaffna City itself is contested as Indian Forces clear out every building in the city. India reports 28 KIA and 49 WIA. RUMINT is been spread that Indian Forces might be planning an another landing.
I respect this region!Hi all!
But I have a question. How can you become a citizen and have the territory of Argentina on the map?
Bombardment of pirate hideout in the niger delta
The Navy has found the main pirate cove and sends a message to the nations waters their in for permission to destroy the pirates but before theres a response they give the pirates a 16 inch pounding from the battleship. Complete destruction of 25 pirate vessels and almost 150 killed or wounded with many missing. It will set back pirste operations for months. The loot at the cove was missing when the coast guard and reporters showed up but it seems that the navy has no record of any loot despite massive chests of gold being found below deck by investigative reporters before they were made to walk the plank.
Clearly the navy has become unruly and shall be disciplined.

Dána Marquez, protester, called to repeal “the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime”; Jack Silva, sociology professor, advocated to make nudity compulsory; Minerva Bennett, accountant, pointed out that people can be nude in the privacy of their own homes.
The Verdict:
Though there are some designated areas where nudity laws are relaxed, public nudity overall will still seen as indecent.
The Talking Point:
Nudity is frowned upon.

The Issue:
An IT firm organized an unusual race between a carrier pigeon toting a flash drive and Mesothallania’s fastest internet provider. The bird easily beat the internet, prompting a debate about internet speeds.
The Debate:
Tracy Long, popular online vlogger, petitioned to connect all of Mesothallania with fiber optics; Auguste Sharp, aid to the Secretary of the Treasury, scoffed that the internet providers should handle the issue themselves; Cary Bautista, amateur birdwatcher, proposed switching to “bird-based broadband”.
The Verdict:
Broadband infrastructure will receive an overhaul and funding.

The Issue:
A group of surprisingly hip and mellow businessmen have meandered to propose Bald Eaglefest, a celebration of music, dance and good times that will incidentally make them a truckload of money. They see Mesothallania not only as the new stomping grounds for this annual music festival, but also as a place that could be seen as being friendly to festival culture in general, welcoming the dread-locked (and sometimes nude) bear-dancing nomads, with their mind-altering substances, groovy music and economy-stimulating disposable incomes.
The Debate:
Sue-Ann Black, lead guitarist of Grateful Floyd, aimed to convince for the festival to be held; Aragorn Hadfield, local grump, wanted to “say no to drugs, drug music, and young people”; Gene Nimoy, substance-abuse counsellor, proposed for the police to monitor the festival, an anti-drug awareness campaign, and some consultation work to minimize local disruption and environmental impact.
The Verdict:
Mr. Nimoy’s suggestions have been taken into consideration.
The Talking Point:
The sanitized and dull music festivals of Mesothallania are famed for their reasonable volume levels.

Title: Dissolution of the Illegitimate Ta-Kemet Rebel Forces Free Territory
Nation(s): Constitutional Monarchy of 
Ta-Kemet Ancient Egypt; United States of Mesothallania
Date: Monday, July 4, 2022 (irl Gregorian Calendar)
It seems that the time spent waiting for a response from the rebel supporters occupying Siwa and the surrounding area has paid off. It seems the lack of force from the United States, the will to negotiate first, the pamphlets airdropped two weeks ago, convincing ex- rebel supporters from Hurghada, and the end of the Arab Civil Conflict in the Arab Socialist Jamahiriya of Cobra Sahara have finally lead to peace in the area. The following points are among the most important, summarized:
1. The leadership will stand trial in a military court of law presided over the United States of Mesothallania and a civilian court of law presided over the Constitutional Monarchy of Ta-Kemet Ancient Egypt, in that order.
2. The innocent civilians will be freely allowed to relocate according to the Egyptian-Mesothallanian treaty; however, qualified citizens may petition to receive dual-citizenship. Rebel supporters will undergo scrutinous procedures to see if they are able to receive Mesothallanian citizenship, but will not be guaranteed safety if they are denied; if they do not face punishment as a whole in Ta-Kemet Ancient Egypt for their actions in a trial by the very citizens they held hostage, then they will be able to go through the citizenship process once more.
3. The rebel supporters will admit that the Ta-Kemet Rebel Forces Free Territory was illegally declared and dissolve it immediately.
4. Because the US did not show force against the rebel supporters, some ex-rebel supporters will go to the faction in Cairo to try to get them to lay down their arms and enter peace negotiations with the Constitutional Monarchy of Ta-Kemet Ancient Egypt and the United States of Mesothallania. Should the ex-rebel supporters from Hurghada wish to, they will aid in this cause.
[OOC: The Siwa rebels are no more. If there are questions, etc. about the terms of the agreement, USM knows what the post intended to say.]
It’s a glorious day for the United States of Mesothallania because there are no more rebels nor rebel supporters from the Arab Civil Conflict within Mesothallanian territory, but it’s not over yet, as troops are still on guard while the Cairo rebel supporters are still operating.
Recognizing the danger some civilians faced in Siwa and the surrounding areas, the Constitutional Monarchy of Ta-Kemet Ancient Egypt has asked the United States of Mesothallania to aid locals, particularly women, by teaching them self-defense; the United States has agreed to help with this education and will do so until the end of this [irl] year.
