As the forces of Empress Eerika fought their way through the lands of the newly proclaimed Marinia fighting off the personal guards of the Parian Duke and the Miri Lord the armoured spearhead consisting of the experimental Esper II TD's and Kauhu tanks begun facing troops with more familiar uniforms- The RIG forces earlier ordered to defend the Western Kulta Mountains and Floreden, seemingly so loyal to the Empress had turned against her, joining the cause of Marinia.
After a large and bloody battle at Rockfield the combined armies of Marinia managed to outnumber and outgun the Rekkenians leaving almost 100 000 dead on the destroyed streets and outskirts of the city. The attacking Rekkenian Imperial Guard force of Empress Eerika was utterly destroyed- including the Empress herself. Her body was found bleeding behind a make-shift cover made out of parts of a building and two destroyed Esper II TD's near the edge of the city suburbs. She had seemingly been hit by two anti-tank shells flying through the armour of an exploding Esper II TD's ammo trailer. This had left the left side of her body completely missing, propbably due to being hit by the anti-tank shells as it was not found anywhere on the battlefield.
The Marinians have proudly announced the death of the Empress and hence the end of the Rekkenian high-throne and with it the Imperiumi of Rekken

On the Icewindian border an the RIG force of 100 000 personnel have prepared to fight the assumed incoming invasion of Fokkenia by the Icewindian forces. The force consists of 3x 150 Kauhu tank cores backed by field artillery, anti-air guns and infantry, however the message of the death of the Empress comes swiftly after it took place in a form of a Marinian army over twice the size of the RIG force demanding RIG's immediate surrender and the surrendering of the Fokkenian areas to the Marinians.
The Marinian government (Duke of Para and Lord of Miri) has demanded Icewindia to back down from the Fokkenian areas immediately or else they would have to deal with the combined forces of Marinia and the Demiran CDI.

Meanwhile on the front of the eastern coast, where a small number of RIG still loyal to the Empress hold with the help of the forces of Dwarf land4 are under heavy fire, surrounded by all sides but the sea. Heavy artillery fire is layed upon the defensive lines by the Demiran tertary artillery core of 200 field artillery pieces and two Kustaa Super-Heavy railway guns brought from the southern border, all taken from the RIG bases who had surrendered to the Demirans due to slim changes of even resisting the overwhelming forces the Demira Corparation managed to arm.
Most of the resisting coastal RIG forces have been wiped out and the remaining troops have brought up the white flag to save those who are still left. A wise choise considering the news of the death of Empress Eerika arrived the very next day.

RP: The Aftermath

As the aftermath of the death of the Empress settles the lower thrones assemble for a meeting to write a treaty to dissolve the Imperiumi of Rekken. Nations outside of the former Imperiumi of Rekken are not invited or welcome.
It takes days but a conclusion is met;

-The past lower thrones of Para, Miri and Fokkenia will form their own sovereign nation- The Empire of Marinia
*Marinia will be lead by a council concisting of the Lord of Miri, the Duke of Para and an elected representative from Fokkenia
-The Kingdom of Ruvenia will become intependent assuming control of the states of Ruvenia and Qerro
-The Fiefdom of Ameria will become intependent assuming control of the states of Ameria, Rekkenian Desert and the area of Eastern Silver Walley
-The Federation of Perelevia will become intependent asuming control of the states of Perelevia and the Demiran Desert
-The Republic of Ömegä will become an intependent nation supervised by Perelevia and Marinia. They will assume control over the three Ömegän States and the previously Rekkenian cities of Demonnia and Canalia
-The Fiefdom of Rekken will become a supervised state of Ameria and will assume control of the state of Rekkenia excluding the cities of Demonnia and Canalia
-The Fiefdom of Walla will become a supervise state of Ameria and will assume control of the western Silver Walley.
-The Theocracy Citystate of Holshine will become a free nation and will assume control of the city of Holshine as a religios head state.
-The term "Rekkenism" for the state religion on the areas around the Demiran, Rekkenian, Foki and Miri deserts is outlawed and replaced with Shinism
-The RSS Overshine will continue operating. RSS (Rekkenian Space Society) will be integrated into the Demira Corparation as a daughter company.
-The CDI of Demira will be disbanded unless immediate threath to the nations part of this treaty emerges within 6 months from signing.

OOC: THE END

This is the of the Rekko-Demiran story here in THTHI. I will hence quit RP and resign from my duties within the THTHI government and cartography team.
I wish everyone here a nice rest of RP. It was nice playing with you.

So, what are the major events happening right now?

RP: Cease at once
The Lirana demand The Atomic Schism halt their murder of those who do not fit their ideals at once, and allow all who wish to leave to do so, with compensation, otherwise Liranaholm shall restore what honour they lost with the sending of weapons to the holy forces.

RP: Force 3
As the Lirana Force in Vientiane continues their push deeper in, resistance weakens and more and more begin to defect. Army Group South begins curving Northwards, the resistance they are meeting falling away, especially in light of the great disaster at Kata-Baru, and the accidental fire which killed over 50,000 and destroyed the oil fields there. Centre, on the other hand, is taking casualties as resistance from the south who don’t surrender move north. Army Group North, now back on track after the battle of the Assava forest, has entered the outskirts of Vientiane and is storming towards the capitol building

The order of the fallen wrote:

RP - Lirana Meeting

A number of Resistance Fighters met with the Lirana recently, discussing plans to liberate the island of Avallon from the current state. During the meeting, a report came in of the Governor of Martin's Rock, Martin Doyle, is visiting the Compound of 'Devil's Hill', presenting the perfect opportunity. The Resistance plans to apprehend the politician and impersonate him, gaining access to the control room, opening the doors where each rebel fighter is contained. Then the Lirana and Resistance forces would begin the assault on the Compound, hoping to overwhelm the forces present there.

RP - Government Action Intensifies

Officials have caught wind of Resistance activity and have stepped up efforts to contain their growth. 'The Ministry Of Human Reform' has been established specifically to deal with such threats. Military action has been greatly increased as of late, with civilian movement being closely monitored and a Secret Police has been formed in order to discover where Resistance forces are operating. Lastly, the high profile arrival of Martin Doyle has raised some alarm among officials, leading to the Ministry taking a number of steps in order to safeguard his visit to the Compound in case any attack is made on him. The Avallonian Government issues a further request for Dwarf land4 to stay out of their affairs, as they are of no concern to them whatsoever. If the Lirana are found to be associating with Resistance Forces, it shall not be taken lightly.

RP: Ok then
The Lirana Government makes no official response. Behind closed doors, however, planning is underway for a storming of the island of Martins’ Rock. The Second Carrier Strike Group, and 3rd MEF (trained for storming of compounds), is being sent out to liberate the island

Daily Update From Thalassia
Statement from the new interim government of Thalassia

Statement from the IC

by Thalassia founder

Statement from the Interim Council on the Reorganisation of the Regional Government

Our fellow Thalassians,

Recently, Thalassia has not been the force it once was, with the government falling into inactivity, and the resulting administrative and organisational atrophy leading the region at large towards a similar downward trend. The failure of the government is not the fault of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet, instead the responsibility lies with structural issues with the region’s system of government, alongside certain long term trends that have plagued the region since the beginning of the year. The lack of government activity is due to the long term trends described below which are systemic in Thalassia’s structure.

The vast majority of the productive activity within the region has been driven by the same 4 or 5 individuals, since the end of 2019. With the current system of government encouraging short term bursts of activity, with no coherent plan being developed with regards to the region’s long term future on internal or external matters, due to the constantly changing governmental leadership. This has created a single point of failure for regional activity which is almost solely dependent on the availability of no more than 5 or 6 individuals to drive the government and organise the region. This is simply not sustainable and places the region's long term future into question.

As explained above, the problems are systemic and thus cannot be resolved via a simple amendment to the Constitution. While the established methods for altering the Constitution would lead to further instability and place the region in limbo for an indefinite period. Furthermore, Arenado and Wymondham, who have been the most prominent authors of legislation in Thalassia since the beginning of the year as well as possessing extensive external legislative experience, have both concluded that the current system in place for repealing and replacing the Constitution would be unworkable for the purpose for implementing a new Constitution to resolve the difficulties outlined above.

With this in mind, the Founder, alongside members of the newly appointed Interim Council, Arenado and Wymondham, has made the decision to dissolve the government, constitution and suspend all policies of the previous administration pending review. Save for the proviso that, for the purpose of honoring the region’s treaty obligations, the Interim Council retains legal continuity with the former government of the Kingdom of Thalassia.

We thank the residents of Thalassia, in advance, for their patience and understanding at this time as well their willingness to co-operate and comply with the new, temporary, regional structure. We also thank our friends and allies for their upcoming acknowledgement of the new governmental structure as the legitimate government of the region and we reiterate that we intend to fully abide by all of our duties under all of our treaties and agreements. We hope to have an interim constitution established in the next few hours.

Signed

What technological stage is everyone at generally?
e.i. are we in futuristic tech, ancient tech, etc

RP: Military overhauling
The Imperial Lirana Military begins a period of changes for the structure of each Branch (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Tienjin, Rangers). While not scheduled to finish for 3 months, they will include rotations in naval locations, the formation of new Marine Expeditionary Forces and 3 new Armoured and 7 Infantry battalions. Pay is also being evaluated, and is expected to be raised, with the highest rise being a 7% increase in the pay of a Lieutenant, while the pay of a Major is falling by .7%. Offers have been made to Fiercewood and Artaecus for joint training exercises, either in Liranaholm or Abroad.

In terms of new locations, 2 Army bases are placed under construction in the Morava Valley, 1 Naval and 1 Army Base on the Carrow Peninsula, 1 Coastguard base on Lake Arawadi and 2 on Lake Saitachi. These Bases will open framework in the south for a Military structure there, which due to the large amount of Rainforest and Cloud Forest coverage, has not been as looked after as that to the north.

OORP
Unless stated, most people rp with futuristic/near future tech. Here's the dispatch on general rp/rp tech rules if you need:

Roleplay & Technology Rules

by The Royal Dominion of Candensia

Roleplay & Technology Rules

All nations participating in the regional role play must adhere to these rules.

RP Rules and Regulations

Background & Getting Started

Welcome to THTHI! Our roleplay is centered around our planet, Kalrania! In order to hop in, you must request a map spot. Contact The Atomic Schism or Northern new solingarch via telegram or discord, they will get your territory set up. This is explained in detail in the dispatch below.

page=dispatch/id=1496501

Now here are some facts about Kalrania.

• 7 IRL Days = 1 RP Year. Click here for the Current RP Date.

• Kalrania has a diameter of 19113 Kilometers. (1.5x Earth's Diameter)

---

Expected Conduct

• No spamming, flaming, name calling, or baiting.

• RP posts are the equivalent of your nation speaking, keep the posts official and mature.

• RP Posts should avoid explicit references to real-life entities. We are on Kalrania, not Earth.

• Nations may set their RP population to any number equal to, or lower than their NS population. Nations may not set their RP population to any number greater than their NS population.

• When roleplaying, it is courteous to obtain prior consent before interacting with another roleplayer. RP Moderation may require prior consent be obtained in certain roleplay situations.

---

God-Modding

• No God-modding, all RP actions must be carried out with time for nations to react to your posts. For example; assassinating another nations' leader is fine, but you need their permission first. Legions of tanks and airplanes should not descend upon your enemies without warning. Post something that signals your intent.

• Other Examples of God-modding include

• Saying what happens to others. "I just killed 500 of your troops!"

• Refusing to take losses or lose. Ever. "Oh, well, my soldiers had personal forcefields so none of them were actually hurt. "
(This is Godmodding, because the situation will degenerate into a petty squabble over who hit who. RP Intelligently.)

• Irresponsible/Unfair Tech Use Tech should be used to enhance the roleplay, it should not detract from anyone's enjoyment. No seal-clubbing. Follow Technology Rules (Explained Below.)

• Excessive Army Size. Self-Explanatory. Avoid throwing millions upon millions of soldiers around as if they were small ants- soldiers are people. Troop counts must not exceed your nations' troop limit, which is explained below.

• Very Fast Military Units. Kalrania is a big place. Troops take time (multiple posts) travelling anywhere. Forces cannot appear out of thin air, or "instapop" out to where an opponent is.

---

Fluffing

• Fluffing is not allowed in the RMB RP, some forms may include;

• Troop Fluffing - The use of insane, immensely large troop numbers without also RP'ing the implications of such numbers on your own nation's economy, workforce, logistics, etc. (If you want to use big, multi-million man armies, you are also going to have to deal with big problems that come with that.)

• Money Fluffing - The use or spending of ridiculous amounts of your national currency without exploring the economic RP implications of such an action. (Yes, I also want to spend 3 trillion moneymarks on super-projects, but such an action comes with consequences.)

• Stealth Fluffing - Stealthy units are harder to detect, they are not invisible. Utilizing a force made up entirely of stealth units makes them neither invisible, nor cost effective. Using stealth units as a means to render your forces invisible is both Stealth Fluffing as well as Godmodding.

• Tech/Magic Fluffing - Technology or magic that is legal under the Technology Rules, but still allocates an absurd or unfair advantage to your nation is Tech/Magic Fluffing. If your technology or magic allows you to, among other things, ignore any damage or incoming fire from enemy forces it is both Tech/Magic Fluffing and Godmodding.

• Alliance Fluffing - Claiming to have an alliance with any nation(s), without having proper RP Posts to back it up. Alliances, Defensive Pacts, Etc. must have a charter document, and must be listed as an official alliance. Nations may join only ONE (1) Military/Defensive alliance at a time. Additionally, nations cannot utilize the forces of other alliance/union members unless a clearly-defined force has been explicitly placed under their command.

---

Post Formatting

• All RP posts must be styled, with "RP" bold at the top, followed by the title of your post, which should indicate what the post is about. All RP Posts should be done in-character (as your nation). When in RP, you are no longer you, you are your nation. Like the following:

RP: This post will concern the proper way of formatting RP posts

Candensia would like to take the time to show other nations how to format their posts. This is an example of how to do so. We would appreciate it if other nations formatted their RP posts like so. Thank you.

• Out of roleplay posts are to be titled "OOC" (Out of Character) or "OORP" (Out of Role Play). You may refer to yourself in OOC posts. Like this:

OORP

Hey! Isn't talking out of character fun? I certainly think so!

---

Technology

• Custom technology is allowed.

• A dispatch/ factbook is to be written for any custom tech, explaining its strengths, weaknesses, and uses.

• All technologies must adhere to Technology Rules.

---

Military Sizes and War Resolution

• All military sizes will be determined by stats from the following calculation.

•Your Population times 0.62, times 0.12

So if Candensia has a population of 1 billion, Candensia would multiply their population by 0.62, and then multiply that number by 0.12

1 Billion times 0.62 is 620 Million

620 Million times 0.12 is 74.4 Million.

• The Result of that calculation will then be multiplied by 0.25, 0.33, or 0.40, depending on the nations' population

• Nations with a population of 5 Million to 999 Million will multiply their answer by 0.40

• Nations with a population of 1 Billion to 2.99 Billion will multiply their answer by 0.33

• Nations with a population of over 3 Billion will multiply their answer by 0.25

So Candensia will multiply their answer, 74.4 Million, by 0.33, since Candensia has a population of 1 Billion.

74.4 Million times 0.33 is 24.5 Million. Therefore, Candensia has a military size of 24.5 Million.

• Federations/Unions are not allowed to use their combined population to calculate military size, it must be done per nation.

• All military weapons, units, and technologies must adhere to Technology Rules.

• Wars must be declared under some sort of pretense (i.e. there must be a legitamate, sensible reason)
Annexation is currently allowed under certain circumstances, which are listed in the dispatch below.

page=dispatch/id=1239317

• Peace treaties must be fair to both nations. The end result must be fair, and this aspect will be overseen by RP Moderators.

• Nations engaged as an aggressor in an offensive war must wait 2 RP years (14 IRL Days) before declaring subsequent offensive wars.

---

Roleplay Moderation

Roleplay Moderators watch over the regional roleplay to ensure it maintains a safe, fair, and welcoming environment. They will void any roleplay posts that do not adhere to this standard. All nations are obligated to comply with any requests from Moderator. Be nice to them, they are volunteers, and they don't (usually) bite. If you have any questions, flag a Moderator down by sending them a telegram or a message on discord.

Current Moderators

Technology Rules

Technology Rules

This is a short guideline regarding role play technology in this region, the following rules (and moderators) are there to ensure technology used by nations in this region are practical and feasible as well as not overpowered. Nationstates Issues are not applicable in the regional RP, the choices you make on them do not affect your nation RP-wise.

Regarding weapons of mass destruction:

ALL WMD's ARE BANNED. This may include, but is not limited to the following;

• Nuclear Weapons

• "Futuristic" WMD’s

• Bio-Weapons

• Magical Superweapons

RP Moderators reserve the right to declare ANY technology, or derivative thereof illegal, in order to promote RP stability, fairness, realism, or for other reasons laid out in the Roleplay Moderation section of the RP Rules.

Other than that have fun and express your creativity, and consult RP Mods if you have any questions!

RP: It all falls down
It was always unknown what the fate of the Therveux Free Zone would be. On one hand it was a rare island of relative stability in the sea of chaos that is the Gatisian civil war, on the other hand the unpredictable sensibilities of the pro nationalist and pro socialist neighborhoods threatened to upend it at any moment. Through most of the conflict it has existed on a very narrowly balanced scale as Mayor Armel Garreau has kept the city from destroying itself. However this has mainly relied on the isolation of the zone from the interest of foreign powers, and as the frontline climbed ever more north, it seems the Garreau's luck has run out. The swirling rumours of the meeting between Garreau and Esolda of Icewindia have energized the already emboldened nationalist supporters in the city. Though a emergency meeting was called, the government had been moot about what it would do after the meeting. Seeing their chance to possibly force the government's hand and surrender to the nationalists, the nationalist members of the council walked out of a weekly meeting, claiming that they will negotiate with the nationalists themselves and that "it will be up to Garreau to deliver the rest of the city". However this gamble seems to have backfired as the council members seemed to overestimate the strength of Garreau's grip on the city, as the council members for the pro socialist neighborhoods whom feared that the city would surrendered by either the council members or Garreau, asked the socialists to intervene. With both sides splitting off and refusing arbitration, Garreau quickly saw his control practically evaporate. As the government watched, eagerly desiring to return to control of the city and having a cassius belli for doing so, ordered the units stationed nearby to enter the city and seize as much as possible. The nationalist Augustine Junta quickly responded and ordered their forces to advance and do the same, quickly overrunning the forces in the small strip of land separating them from the city.

The sides quickly met in the center of the city and gunfire could be heard as the opposing civilian militias in the city and their army compatriots clashed. Quickly streets became front-lines and the ordinary facets of public life such as libraries, trains stations and street corners turned into military positions. Though the nationalists were able to push back the initial socialist gains against them, their attempt at a further push was repulsed. And as the thick nighttime fog settles on the city, the sound of shovels unearthing cobblestones and sandbags being stacked could be heard in the now eerily quiet streets and both sides dig in in an attempt to hold onto their fresh gains. The current location of Mayor Garreau is currently
unknown as some claim he has committed suicide, while other claim they saw a man who looked suspiciously like him sneaking out of the city as his personal project for peace crumbled into dust. The future of the city is unknown but as the power of the government continues to decline, the chance to reverse their fortunes through this battle may inspire the government to dig in it's heels here as it seeks to win this new bloodiest of engagements.

RP: Fresh meat
The GDF forces, newly absorbed into the Junta's army, have begun arriving on the front. Though untested, the drilling and additional training given to them by the nationalists they hope will deliver them a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual force which perfect for propaganda to help convince both Mardobans and other southern minorities of their commitments to unity and federalism. Currently organised into 2 groups, the Gatisian 1st Southern Corps and the Mardoban Brigade du Basin have both joined the battle for Therveux as both sides attempt to funnel forces into the divided city to gain an upper hand.

RP: The diaspora pitches in
Though much of the wealthy diaspora community in Blayredeshia has been heavily invested in the nationalist cause, seeing an opportunity to overthrow the government who's arrival to power forced themselves to flee. However, much of the more middle class have seen less interest in supporting a cause financially that seemed so far away and unlikely to benefit them as they've integrated into Blayredeshian society. Hence, much of the funds raised come from the exiled families of the old political elite and business owners, however now it seems there is an attempt from these families to rally the Gatisian diaspora into more enthusiastic contributions to the nationalists. Beginning this week a large campaign started by the foremost exile organisation "Comité de Aide Nationale" has begun to drum up support. Though in it's infancy, the campaign has seen success with slogans like "Don't forget why you're here! Save the homeland!" creating a growth in support both public and financial as the stress of the economic downturn caused by the war wears on the broken economies of both sides. Even though the funding from the campaign may be not all that much, the surge of support outside of the country helps develop both financial ties abroad but also another tool in the arsenal of the nationalists propaganda war as they attempt to win the hearts and minds of the newly conquered regions of the country.
