City: Tselįonáya-Iós

Province: Stië R'choios Hëmendil'êįoth (Capital Territory of Hëmendil)

Kingdom: Hëmendil

Seven have died and thirty-four are injured after a confrontation between protesters and fringe militia in the Hëmendil'ia capital of Tselįonáya-Iós. The protesters were assembled on the anniversary of the annexation of the Vlëáyn'st peninsula (OOC Istria) by Hëmendil'ia forces in 1813, overcoming the Oruzian population and imposing a government dominated by the imported Sula minority. Oruzians were treated initially as second-class citizens until Hëmendil joined the R'aldor Sulasburg’êįoth (Sula Federation, the name until 1892) in 1857. Well things are better now, there remains a large prejudice from both sides and it came to a head yesterday. The picketers were gathered on the plaza outside the Hëmendil'ia parliament, carrying signs and waving the flags of Oruzia and the proposed Istro-Oruzian Free State. After around ten minutes others in black clothing began gathering on the corners of the square, some bearing the symbols of the notoriously violent anarcho-xenophobic militia groups Aldor’êįoth Sulasburg (Our Sulasburg) and Aél'êįoth St'é (My Way). They stared down the peaceful activists for around half an hour more before one of them opened fire on the crowd, joined quickly by another. Police arrived within minutes but by that point three had already died with four more passing away in hospital (all were ethnic Oruzians). The militia were quickly rounded up and incarcerated under the V'ruliädil'ùlesta Aeiela Hy Carëas (Provision for Action During War) which was declared for a total of five hours in Stië R'choios Hëmendil'êįoth. Possessing a gun is illegal under Sula law, but many of those in the reserves (after conscription citizens are reservists until the age of 30) choose to keep possession of their weapons and many end up sold illegally. Further investigation will follow, and the Sula government expressly condemns the groups involved in the attack and offers sincere condolences to the families affected by this tragic event.

Connor: "My fellow Oruzians *he calmly takes a sip of water before continuing*
Connor: "For long our continent stood as the beacon of democracy and freedom, I'm sure I don't need to remind you that the concept of democracy was created on our home the Balkans.
Then why? Why did this tragedy happen!?!
Why did our neighbours that claim to follow the concept of freedom allow this tragedy to take place?
Oruzians weren't the greatest people in the history, yes we committed atrocities but our generation has done everything it could to repent for the past and yet a protest of self governance, a protest for freedom has been met with gunfire and our people bleeding on the streets. Let me remind you that the people that died weren't invading soldiers but common civilians with hopes and dreams!
I ask again why did it happen? Il tell you...
The oppression of Hëmendil is still alive and well and is protected in the walls of our neighbors!
Our brothers and sisters can hardly find a well payed job there because of their last name God damnit! This example of eugenics is still present and is being used against the people that wish to the world no harm!
The Sula Government has to take full responsibility for this crime and punish the perpetrators if they wish for peace in our lands!
This tragedy wasn't a fight of mad tirants or a clash of ideologies... This my people was a fight for freedom! But those monsters didn't shoot at us because we wanted freedom! They shot at us because we're Oruzians! They still view us as a second class people and in a self proclaimed democracy to let those things happen! That's Hipocrisy! The Oruzian people demand retribution! We demand our freedom! And for our brothers and sisters across the world that are fighting the fight do not forget that there is nothing to fear... One of the strongest militaries of our time will protect you and will not stand silent in your moments of oppression! Oruzians remember! Oruzians fight for the right thing! And Oruzians cheer for we all know the motto of our people! Alles Gegrüßt Oruzia!"

*The parlament moved by the words starts cheering and yelling "All Hail Oruzia". The cheering turns into a song, in unison they sing the anthem of Oruzia for all world to hear*

Connor: "Our demands are clear, Sulasburg... give our people freedom!"

Your anguish is of course understandable, and we greatly value our relationship with your great nation, but with respect to you this is an internal matter and your intervention is not welcome. For the safety of Sula citizens the military presence in Hëmendil will be increased and investigations will continue. We are willing to discuss the matter in a mature way through proper political channels, but your reactionary provocatism is not appreciated. Thank you.

I should also thank the Sula authorities for arresting the terrorists who attacked our protest and took the lifes of our brethren, we pray that their punishment is fair and according to the law.
Our people have been attacked for speaking their mind and to add salt on the wound the Sula military has now moved to our regions so that they can "protect the peace"... as if there ever was peace in where I live.
To get to the point, this Sula extremists are the greatest threat to us. Not because they use barbaric methods to silence our cries but because they are among us!
They can be our neighbors, our teachers, a young guy walking his dog in the local park... they all might have a desire to silence our voices because of their toxic pride. The actions of those Barbarians has now frozen the relations between the two leading Adriatic Powers.
My people... I want to tell you that those Barbarians will not go away.... they won't go until we learn to fight for ourselves!
If we don't fight then this harassment will never end! We should not let them take our freedom away! We will march in unison on the streets and we will protest... we will fight against barbarianism! My people don't let your voices be silenced without a fight. We all remember the Slave Queen Oruzia that led the largest slave revolt in the Roman Empire! (read it in my history for more info) She fought so that our oppression would end... and it did! That's why I call you to protest, we need to prove to the world that the message we are fighting for is Noble and just! People... together we can do this... we can bring freedom to ourselves and live the lives that have been promised to us by the Sula constitution! Our fight will not end until our demands are met...

Oruzia wrote:

We are sorry if we presented ourselves as violent savege imperialists. We'd like you to hear our point of view. No, Oruzia is not building an empire. For example our controversial takeover of the Suez canal. We put it under our protection because of the instability in the middle east, the world economy would suffer greatly if the Suez fell under a oppressive regime or be turned into a battleground. That's why we took it under our protection. As for the situation in Sulasburg we where only protecting our people from the extreme right that threatend our freedom, I'm sure that Tuthar would do the same if it found itself in our position.
We hope that we cleared this misconseption of Oruzian interests to both Tuthar and the World. Oruzia wants only peace but it also wants the interests of the world and of the Oruzian people safe and protected.

Oruzia wrote:

With the growing tension in Hëmendil and an increased presence of Sulasburg's military in the region and on our border, the Oruzian Government will move it's troops closer to the border of Sulsaburg.
Additionally the Oruzian Royal Navy will start patrolling the Adriatic for any suspicious activities.
Protection of peace in the world is important but if our sovereignty is threatened in any way then we will respond and protect our people.

Thousands of protestors, many of whom are Oruzian immigrants, have gathered outside the Sulasburg Embassy in Lorenvia to protest the Lavelle's administrations response to the shootings by Aldor’êįoth Sulasburg and Aél'êįoth St'é militia groups. Many protestors can be heard chanting Oruzian Lives Matter and other pro-Oruzia slogans.

We talk to Mojsije Jelic, noted critic of the Sula government, and one of the organisers of this protest.

Reporter
Mr. Jelic, we've all seen the tragic footage of the gunfire at Tselįonáya-Iós. But in light of the Sula government arrest of the militia members, could you explain exactly what has brought you and thousands of others here today.

Mr. Jelic
Right. We thank the Sula government for rightfully arresting the far-right militia members, but that is the bare minimum that should be done. There is still massive amount of anti-Oruzian prejudice in Sulasburg, and the Sula government has been too willing to tolerate this extremism. Oruzians lives matter. Their ability to feel safe in their own homes matter. And the Sulasburg government needs to do more to tackle anti-Oruzian bigotry.

Reporter
Looking around, we see many signs not only critical of Sulasburg, but also of the Lavelle administration. What I'm wondering is what does the current Wizlandian government have to do with the Tselįonáya-Iós shooting, and if it bears responsibility what should it do moving forward.

Mr. Jelic
Most Wizlandian's don't realise this, but despite all the lip service towards human rights and liberal democracy, the Wizlandian political establishment cares only about two things: trade deals and maintaining their military alliances. I mean look at their response to the shootings. A short press statement condemning the political violence, yet multiple statements, including a lengthy speech, ATTACKING the Oruzian government. And still no statement on the Sula government's increased military presence in Hëmendil, something coming out of LITERAL FASCIST playbook.

So we're here not only to protest Sulasburg, but also to tell our politicians that Human Rights Matter. Oruzian Lives Matter. That militarism in Hëmendil should not be tolerated, and the administration can no longer be complicit in allowing bigotry and human rights violations overseas.

Reporter
Specifically, what would you like to see the current government do going forward.

Mr. Jelic
First, it's important to recognise the problem. To recognise the deep anti-Oruzian bigotry embedded in Sula society, and that our government has an obligation to support human rights abroad, and to call on its allies to do better.

Second, their needs to be a strong condemnation of Sulasburg's militaristic response to the shooting. Because from the outside, it almost seems that the Sula government is attempting to punish Oruzians for being shot at.

And third, our government cannot continue to put issues of trade and military alliances above our foundational moral values. We must be willing to actually sanction countries like Sulasburg should they continue to fail to protect their Oruzian citizens.

Reporter
Thank you for your time.

That is all from me, back to you in the studio.

Statement from the Lochakian Комитет по иностранным заявлениям ( Forgein Statement Committe ) ​

Lochak is officially siding with the Oruzia government and will actively provide resources and troops for the Nation. Lochak recognizes Sulasburg as an enemy and will cease all existing trade. Allies of Sulasburg will be viewed as possible threats.

Just Breaking

Three pipe bombs have been found in and around various Tselįonáya-Iós government buildings, all bearing markings associated with the OfOI (Organization for Oruzian Independence). It is not known when they were set to explode. This is being treated as a criminal investigation, and several prominent OfOI members have been apprehended for questioning. Mi'jailov Steflavic, well known as one of the more radical members of the group, is unaccounted for and thought to be on the run. More updates will follow.

Update

Fifteen have died and thirty-six more are unaccounted for after a fourth undiscovered bomb exploded under the Regional Archives building. The military has been dispatched immediately in large numbers, and in the interests of national security sanctions will be placed immediately on Oruzia.

Oruzia tell your state-sponsored vigilantes to stand down or we will make them.

This is an active investigation and such details may not yet be revealed to the public. We do not want war but our duty is to our people, ethnic background notwithstanding.

We will allow the Tuthar authorities and will help them capture the perpetrators of that horrendous attack.
As for the Sulsaburg situation, I can only fathom how their government is desperate in starting an armed conflict. With no proof of Our involment they blame us for allegedly "supporting" the Oruzian separatists. And to add salt on the wound they militarize the border and put sanctions and travel restrictions on us.
This act has been demeed by us as unprofessional and inpolitisan like.
We understand the severity of the attack but is it all a reason to put sanctions on us?
We didn't do that to Sulsaburg when the fascists attacked our people even though there where many who wanted it.
We demand that this sanctions on Oruzia be lifted and that this outrageous allocations that our government supports terrorist organizations be lifted.

And how OfOI connected to Oruzia, why sanctions on Oruzia? It's an internal matter, no?

Circumstances not yet revealed have led to this, it's a temporary measure. And they have mobilized as well. It is no longer purely internal.

In light of recent aggressions, we have now closed all passages between Oruzia and Sulasburg and are keeping said passages under surveillance. Again, this is an internal matter. We have also created a temporary tertiary government panel to which the protesters have begun to explain their grievances, and investigations are ongoing.

- Sfëįa Aiädil'ùl, Press Secretary for the Sula Ministry of The Interior

We will consider the lifting of sanctions, but when a neighbouring country mobilizes in response to an external event it engenders some degree of distrust. We are a society that values peace greatly, and we are attempting to stifle war.

On the border of Sulasburg and Oruzia the armies stationed there started to thount one another. What started like an argument turned into a all out anarchy where both Oruzian and Sula soldiers started shouting nationalistic and racist remarks at one another. Oruzians started throwing hand signs of the old WW2 Oruzian regime whilst Sulas started singing anti Oruzian war songs, one which had the controversial line saying "Adriatic we will march through and Oruzia we will burn through"

Whit border control to weak to stop the two sides, they fled the situation allowing Sulas and Oruzians to get closer. Not long after they started pushing each other around. Pushing turned into fighting and with some new troops showing up to the sight got scared that the war has started and started shooting at each other. It is still not know which side started shooting first but both claim that the other side started first. This tragedy has costed both nation lives and will without a doubt frese the relations between two nation's.

International News

Lochakian Ships have been spotted moving across the Pacific towards the conflict between Sulasburg & Oruzia carryinh large amounts of aircraft, troops, explosives, and vehicles. It is feared that these supplies may be used to aid the Oruzian forces in a possible attack on Sulasburg, and international committes have ordered Lochak to stop their advance and to not aid Oruzia with these weapons. Lochak has yet to give a response.

Glorious Leader Lochak stands up onto a podium adorned with gold & silver roses. He lifts his hands, and a loud roar of applause sounds. as he lowers his hands, the applause fades. "My People!" His voice booms over the speakers. "The filthy capitalist we all know as 'Trump' has sent a band of heretics to the sacred lands of Arjkes, or in their pitiful words, 'Antarctica.' this only goes to show that these scum known as the Usoniyons must be destroyed for desecrating these holy lands with their unclean, capitalist feet! DEATH TO USONIY!" He screams - he does sound kind of insane. The croud yells along, chanting of 'Death to Usoniy' sounds all throughout the crowd.

yeesh, probably isnt good.

Wizlandian Broadcasting Channel - BREAKING NEWS

Breaking News. A bombshell report by The Lorenvia Times has revealed that senior members of the Wizlandian government, including members of the cabinet, the Foreign Intelligence Service, and the Office of Cyber-Security and Signals Intelligence, have been discreetly transferring funds and providing opposition research for the Sjevre Green Party in Katharina Sanaumustas bid to become the next Prime Minister of Sjevre. Political commentators speculate that the administration fears that Morchands re-election would result in closer relations between Sjevre and the Global Co-Prosperity Sphere, and that the Lavelle administration would prefer the more pro-Intercontinental Entente Green Party to win big in the election and form the government in Sjevre.

Chief Executive Lavelle and Executive of Intelligence Walker are expected to appear before the House of Commons Intelligence Committee tomorrow to address the charges of budget misappropriation, acting beyond parliamentary authority, and trying to interfere in the election of a democratic ally. Donald Cook, a senior member of the Social Democratic Party, has said that depending on the results of the parliamentary inquiry, all those who had involvement or knowledge of the actions supporting the Sjevre Green Party should be removed from cabinet, and that Parliament should form a new government.

All this is happening in the backdrop of increased tensions and militarisation along the Sula-Oruzia border, and the Sjevre election and the future of the Wizlandian government will likely have a big impact should a war between Sulasburg and Oruzia break out.

BEGIN REPORT

UNLDU informants have discovered that Lochakian politican bodies have decided to ignore Wizlandia's warnings and continue their travel across the Pacific towards the ongoing conflict between Oruzia & Sulasburg. Furthermore, the informants have discovered huge amounts of ships & aircraft being readied for the long haul to Antarctica to deter Usoniy's forces. It is believed that Lochak has been waiting for a conflict like this to arise to have an excuse to keep the well known, almost psychotic dictator 'Glorious Leader Akje' in power.

END REPORT

Hm. Perhaps Lochak really isn't interested in helping Oruzia? It could be a cover up for invading either country at a time when their both distracted. Usoniy simply sent a small force of troops to Antarctica, and Lochak responded by declaring war. Seems like Lochak is jumping at any reason to declare war and try to gain more land.

Furthermore, our esteemed Prime Minister convened an important press conference at which he announced several things. First, Campalia will establish two small colonies on the Galapagos Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The purpose of these colonies is to study and preserve the local flora and fauna, as well as to study the effects of climate change on them. In addition, Neyo Tel announced the purchase of the following Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Prience Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Furthermore St. Pierre and Miquelon Campalia joins. This came after there had been repeated riots in the Canadian provinces, which the Canadian government could not bring under control. With the sale, both nations hope for peace in the border region between Usoniy and Campalia.

UNLDU informants have confirmed reports of Lochakian ships landing in the Suez canal.

Furthermore, the arrival of Lochakian forces may escalate the ongoing conflict between Sulasburg & Orzuia.

Per Potenzia's statement about moving ships into the Suez canal, Lochak will let it be known that any Potenzian ships entering the canal will be identifided as hostile. Lochak does not wish to block trade through the canal, nor start a conflict with Potenzia, nor desires to enter the Mediterranian Sea.

A foreign nation doesn't have permition to accept or deny the enterence to the Suez canal.

Potenzia wrote:

What exactly are Lochak’s intentions? 🤔

Potenzia wrote:

The nation of Potenzia has threatened no one, and while we have no intention to interfere, we will if absolutely necessary.

Campalia will do the same to Potenzia and issue travel warnings for Sulasburg and Oruzia. The Campalian government would like to remind the civilizations involved once again that further escalation could lead to war, which would not be beneficial for either side.
Furthermore, the Campalian government warns Lochak against a blockade of the Suez Canal. This would be seen by Campalia as a declaration of war on all nations of Europe, and the Campalian government would take the subsequent steps necessary to ensure the economic integrity of those nations.

Nevertheless, Campalia is open to diplomatic talks with all nations.

Cien Fall, Speaker of Parliament

As per Lochak's statement about any Potenzian ship being considered hostile, we will offer our assistance to both Potenzia and Oruzia in defending the Suez Canal, as Filipinn does have a strong navy. If Lochak ever decides to declare war on either Potenzia or its allies, we will immediately retaliate and declare war on Lochak.

On domestic policy, whilst Chief Executive Lavelle descended from the social-liberal wing of the Liberal Party, Chancellor Lehman descends from the conservative-liberal wing, making him more agreeable to his conservative coalition partners.

The approval rating of the Liberal-National government has dropped to a new low, with only 27% of voters saying they approve of the current government compared to 61% of voters saying they disapprove. This has resulted in rumours that the National Party may decide to abandon the current government and instead form a coalition with the Social Democrats. If this were to happen, the dovish Social Democrats would likely force Wizlandia to hew to a non-interventionist foreign policy and not defend Sulasburg should war break out in Europe.

The Campalian Government decided to impose sanctions on NewKazakhBy for trying to further escalate the Sula-Oruzian conflict.

If Sjevre does not refuse annexation, we will impose sanctions on them as we would on any country that helps them. We think they are just being hypocritical. They are all oh-so pro-democracy, but here they are, and their faces are open, masks off.

This declaration is a lie. Cien Fall is the Spealker of Parliament for Campalia. This defamation is unacceptable and we expect an apology.
The Campalian Government will not support any military actions to take back Savraan lands. If these people choose to remain independent, their decision should be respected.

However, the emperor is willing to help the true Oruzian government in whatever action they take against Sulasburg.

The Prime Minister, however, would prefer to help the Sula, and has been secretly sending support to them.

An investigation is ongoing into the recent altercation between Sula and Oruzian soldiers at the border. With current information collated, it appears as though a drunken brawl between Oruzian soldiers led to a shot being fired from their post and striking the ground near the Sula camp, which prompted a brief retaliation before both sides were ordered to stand down. We deeply regret the loss of life on both sides. However, the Oruzian mobilization continues to be both a menacing threat to our sovereignty and a grave insult to our ability to govern, and we call on the international community to take action to prevent further such actions from our seemingly belligerent neighbour.

PM Sevso: Hello, my fellow PMs. I have assembled the parliament today to discuss the crisis happening to our north. I am, of course, talking of the Sula-Oruzian crisis. In the crisis, two militia groups named Aldor’êįoth Sulasburg and Aél'êįoth St'é killed 7 Oruzians in the city of Tselįonáya-Iós. The Oruzian government has blamed the incident on the Sula government, who are now trying to investigate the matter themselves and moving their military there to make sure a tragedy like this does not happen again.

Now, the government of Oruzia is mobilizing their military, and I am certain that they plan to invade Sulasburg. Now, we stand for peace, and we will support Sulasburg until Oruzia backs....

???: I object.

People gasped and looked around to see who dared interrupt the Prime Minister. It turned out to be Imperator Augustus himself.

Imperator Augustus: I object. Rome and Oruzia have helped each other for centuries. We are not going to turn their back on them because they threatened an "innocent" nation. And Sulasburg isn't even being innocent. It is obvious that they funded those groups themselves, and they are now putting more troops in Hemendil, a border region with Oruzia. After trying to kill off those protestors, they are now trying to kill off all Oruzians! Now, I would like to use my consitutional right to dismiss parliament.

People gasp again. Parliament has not been dismissed in over 100 years. Parliament is beginning to take sides: For Prime Minister & For Imperator.

Despite warnings from international governments, there are confirmed reports of a Lochakian-Sulasburg conflict. A small military base near the Sulasburg-Oruzia border was barraged by Lochakian ships with artillery before beding attacked by a small number of Lochakian soldiers who were airdropped in. Lochak failed to take the base, and all 25 ( this number has not been confirmed ) Lochakian soldiers were either killed or commited suicide. 38 Sulasburg troops were killed in the attack, with a number of injured aswell.

The Prime Minister and Emperor have sent two different (secret) messages to the Lochackian government, with each one not knowing about the other.

The Prime Minister's message reads: "Back down now. You are purposely war-mongering."

The Emperor's message reads "Would we be able to have a secret alliance? I am sure war between Sulasburg and Oruzia will break out soon, and you are trying to make Sulasburg weaker."

We sadly say that with unmistakable clarity this is seen as an act of war. Unprovoked attacks on our national soil will not be tolerated, and we call on the level-headed minds of the LDU to take action with us against such awful and unprovoked violence.

We greatly appreciate your concern. Ours are a peaceful people, and such a time is of course fraught with hardship, but it is for friends such as you that we are grateful. Food has been rationed and the military walks the streets, yet still a feeling of hopeful positivity persists.

For that we are sorry, and if trouble should arise we will not hesitate to offer what help the situation permits.

...your television changes from your favorite show, 'Glorious Leader Akje defeats Capitalism', as a broadcast from the Holy City plays...

Glorious Leader Ajke stands atop a large, gold-laden podium. "My people!" His voice booms. "After our successful attack on those disgusting Sulas, they have called on other powers to help them. Look at them! We could call Sulasburg 'New Lochak' by tomorrow!" The crowd roars with cheers and whoops, and a one person even throws a boquet of flowers onto the stage. They are quickly taken away to be killed, most likely. "And better yet, that heretic nation of Tuthar has threatened to cut trade and search any of our ships in their waters! What could this mean for our ally, Cruenterra? We must not let this occur, we must stop these heretics from hampering our trade, they only wish to destroy Lochak!" Glorious Leader Akje screams the last part, causing the crowd to scream in exciment aswell. "DEATH TO SULASBURG! DEATH TO TUTHAR! DEATH TO CAPITALISM!" The crowd roars with applause as the TV fades back to your show

In response to the Emporer's message, he shows interest. He Writes: "A secret alliance will be perfect. With these attacks of ours, hopefully war will break out soon. Sulasburg will fall one day, and that day is soon, my friend." He orders a messenger to run all the way to Romanum to deliver the message to the Emporer himself.

PM Sevso: My Imperator, why are you supporting Oruzia here? They are blaming the government of Sulasburg for the action of militias.

Imperator Augustus: Sulasburg is a strong nation. If they wanted to stop those militia, they would have before someone got hurt. It is obvious that they were supporting them!

PM Sevso: I'm sorry, my Imperator, but you know hardly anything about politics. Leave it to me.

There is suddenly a knock at the door.

Imperator Augustus (to the guards): Open it!

An extremely out of breath man stumbles into the room, exhaustedly saying

Messenger: Emperor Augustus, the Glorious Leader of Lochak has a message for you.

PM Sevso: I'm sorry, but your alledgedly "glorious" leader was probably drunk when he sent you here, he has no business sending messages to our Imperator. I am the one in charge of government here.

Imperator Augustus: Hold on there, I've been expecting this.

PM Sevso: You've been expecting this?! Why were you sending private messages to the leader of Lochak? What were you sending.

Imperator Augustus (furious): That is none of your business, get out of my palace!

Prime Minister Severinus Sevso is forced out of the room. Imperator Augustus then opens the message and reads it.

He then begins writing a reply. (Sorry, next post)

Minister of Foreign Affairs Sasha Blitz:

Despite our cold relations with Sulasburg, we can't ignore this barbaric attack by the Lochak forces. Such acts are prohibited by the international law and are to be punished!
For such attacks to take place on a sea that we also have our land on is uncalled for!

The Sula border town of Sc'l'euy has been overtaken by Oruzian border militia. It has a majority Oruzian population (72%), and for weeks had been calling for annexation. Further info will follow.

UNLDU REPORT

BEGIN REPORT

Informants in the Lochakian Airforce have possibly discovered plans that Lochak will be bringing a classified 'object' to their position in Oruzia. UNLDU fears this may be a WMD or a possible bioweapon, and are currently investigating Terragroup labs's help with this weapon. Officials fear aircraft may already be moving across Asia towards the Suez.

Furthermore, survelliance drones have images of Lochakian forces setting up various FOB's, Aircraft runways, and compounds near the Suez, as well as large mobilizations of tanks, troops, aircraft, and artillery. UNLDU warns all nations in eastern Asia to be on the lookout for Lochakian aircraft.

*It was a cold spring night, animals in the forest where preparing for winter thinking that it would be like any other. The sky was clear, the mood and the stars where pretty like angels... but the armed people at the ground didn't care for their beauty. They where more interested in their conspiracies and politics. Soon the quiet pretty night would be ended by a young man eager to defend what he thinks is right.*

Oruzian Militia Soldier: They are here! Commander they are here! *he jelled with a smile, after all they have been waiting for hours*

Oruzian Militia Commander: So they finally came... *he says with relief* We've been waiting for them four freaking hours where where they!

*Milita man gather around their camp, a drako military car with the emblem of the Oruzian Special Forces parked and behind it tens of trucks bringing in "supplies". An old uniformed man gets out of the car irritated but happy that they arived in one peace*

Oruzian Almy Officer: God! We can hear your cries from kilometers away, you should know that bringing illegal weaponry over a highly militarized border is almost impossible in this day and age! You should be happy we made it in one peace.

Oruzian Militia Commander: Yeah yeah I get it you old geezer, is everything we wanted in those trucks?

*He points at the trucks with suspicion*

Oruzian Army Officer: Those bureaucrats in Naissus are known for their professionalism, not one bullet is missing.

Oruzian Militia Commander: Yeah i don't trust them as much as I can throw them.

Oruzian Army Officer: Well did you do your end of the deal? These guns will be pretty useless if there's no one to use them.

Oruzian Militia Commander: Our porpaganda campaign is working. Underground cells all over eastern Sulasburg are bringing in young man who want to fight for Oruzia.
Don't worry those guns will be fired!
*He says with a creepy smile on his face*

Oruzian Army Officer: Aha, just be careful at who you fire it. Today you are freedom fighters, tommorow you are terrorists. Look just keep your man in check and do your job until the real army arrives and finishes the job.

Oruzian Militia Commander: Pch! We are more of an army than you will ever be! We roze up to protect our freedoms while you dumba**es discuss share cuts in your comfy office chairs!
And you say you defend Oruzian interests.

*The old man scuffs at the disrespect of the young milita Commander*

Oruzian Army Officer: Have you tased war? Where you on the streets fighting against a totalitarian syndicalist regime that had no problems in massacring it's people! Where you in the south where those Golden Dawn fanatics blew up random cars! Where you ever sleeping with one eye open fearing that a commie sympathiser may break into your house and blow up your brain! Yeah I think not *he takes a deep breath and calms down* Be ready kid, this may not just be a small regional war. Other nations are wanting their interests fulfilled and all they need is a mach that will set it all on fire. This may not be a small war kid, we may just be witnessing history unfold.

*He opens the door of the car before he alerts the Milita Commander*

Oruzian Army Commander: Everything is there, guns, artillery, anti artillery... Hell we even snuck in some drones, don't worry they have a "How to fly for dummies". And as a sign of good will were leaving you the trucks and the driver's with them. Have fun in your little war!

*He waives and enters the car, not long after they drive off back to Oruzia.. their mission is accomplished*

*The young milita Commander looks at the stars up above, the man around him cheer and dance for they now have new toys of war. He looks at the stars whilst replaying the words of the old man, he looks at the stars.... he knows that this will be the last time he sees peace up above, he knows that when he looks back up he'll se jets of the Entente and Co Prosperity blowing each other as animals... he looks at the stars...

A resolution to declare war on Oruzia was defeated

Parliament instead decided to crack down on the SRI

terrorist group.

A national State of Utmost Emergency has been declared following an unprovoked assault on Sula sovereignty. As of now Hemendil is a warzone, and Oruzia is enemy no. 1. We are at war.
