The East Pacific Board

Once upon a time there was a little fledgling named Lerasi, with big dreams for Valsora. Unfortunately, the monsters of Valsora are strong and enjoy picking on the weak. So he banded together with the Arabian Socialist Union to form the Lerasian-Arabian Federation. But another Nonscio force was looking down at the two fledglings, and wanted in on the action. When the New Union of Sovereign Soviet Republics joined, the Federation became the Red Dragons' Pact. Red line the socialism of the two others, and dragon for my chief motif.

An advisor helped me along the site back then. Dreamersistan recommended a new friend. Perpetuam. Perpetuam was supposedly level headed. A good ally. Perpetuam noticed that the Collapsed State of Demiurges still stood. He wanted to divide it between the two of us, since we were on either side.

NUSSR had different plans, however. He wanted it for himself. So he threatened war. I was foolish. I told Perpetuam to back down. He had no choice.

NUSSR disliked the Pact more and more after this event. The schism ended with him beinf expelled. Only three remained.

The next nation to come along was the Pact's doom. The Death Syndicate had recently betrayed Greater Felter to join Osterreich und Ungarn, an ally of mine, against the nation. It went well and the two of us worked together. Eventually TDS joined the RDP.

Recruitment was up after that. The neutral nation of Karatol-Advenra joined us and relinquished neutrality. ImperFeudal, Kingdom of Lichtenstein, Southern Great Kingdom, and Dredmarck all joined. Of course SGK and ImperFeudal were the only two to end up on Valsora and in the Pact.

SGK was never active so his expulsion was inevitable. ASU also was starting to resent the Pact, and us him. ASU was expelled not too long after an outburst claiming that we were attempting to kick him out. We weren't at the time, but our relation couldn't hold any longer. Instead he became a vassal of The Death Syndicate, before he tried to break free and war was declared. He was never seen again...

ImperFeudal was holding an election, and my cleverness got the best of me. I convinced many nations to vote for the Communist leader, one who was trying to break free from the Pact and become militant isolationist. The Militar Party won by a landslide.

Thus, invasion was justified, and the RDP declared war on itself. ImperFeudal's old government was goaded into starting a revolution.

In the end, I took a large swath of land "to prevent it from happening again". TDS took an island in the Pacalis Sea.

Zukchiva was trying to condemn my state's actions. A naval officer had levelled a city and killed thousands of civilians. Thus we executed the officer and all crewmen who fired the missles. It was a close shave.

After that, the RDP went a little bit neutral. I was content after winning some islands from Algerstonia, and I was secure in my power. The USSA had been my Client for some time, in a parasitic relationship benefiting only me.

OU tried to rope us into the World War against Charity, but I got greedy and, since none of us got land, stayed out of it.

We were doing just fine.

Until...

The Restoration of Eastern Kaiserreich, the old mentor of TDS, had came back after a relatively short ban. And he thought I was not healthy for his pupil. He had TDS cut all ties with the RDP.

Anger. Fire. Chaos. Not really, but hostility was rife. I banned his arms companies, fearing war, and he banned all my companies. Terrorists on both sides. I was suddenly insecure about my power. Then, the worst.

Karatol-Advenra was convinced by TDS that I was not to be trusted. In a brief message, he left the RDP. Ironically, they were probably the only two members that I wasn't tricking or lying to.

The RDP was only me and ImperFeudal now. To this day I don't know for sure if TDS tried to convince him that I was not to be trusted. But I still firmly believe that that was what happened.

I dissolved the RDP without lessening relations with ImperFeudal. I tried to seek comfort in the Iron Pakt, but I was denied by Shavara. I was alone. If someone attacked me, I was on my own.

Luckily, my quick wit clawed its way out of the ditch. I prospered with numerous trade deals and non aggression pact. Then, I tried seeking solace in the only one offering me power. Offering me allegiance. Kampf. But that is a story for another day.
