Indras article (Name TBA)

Background

The island of Indras had been without a functioning central government since the fall of the Montesçu regime. The territory eventually came to be divided between eighteen factions and states.

Macabee invasion of Indras

Because of its strategic position within Greater Dienstad, Indras was an enticing target for the Golden Throne. Control of the island's four northern ports of Targu Iulia, Vasozia, Cruzau, and Botosani offered Macabee companies major trade advantages. The Port of Botoșani in particular was a major entrepot linking the western and eastern reaches of Greater Dienstad. The island was in a strategic locatiobn allowing Macabee air and naval forces to sortie against pirates operating to the east.

Capture of Botosani

After a large Macabee naval task force arrived off the northeastern coast of Indras, a Macabee diplomat was detained by the city government of Botoșani. The act gave the Golden Throne a cassus belli for its occupation of the northeastern ports. Botoșani itself was the first to be assaulted after an hour-long preliminary bombardment. Three thousand infantryment divided between three battlegroups formed the first wave. Two battlegroups were to seize the port district. A third landed north of the city to cut the Botosani-Cruzau highway.

The Macabee infantry encountered minimal resistance except at the city harbor. As they advanced into the city proper the defenders, although never able to achieve a tactical victory, were able to temporaily stall the advance of some units with ambushes and other asymmetric tactics. Despite Indran resistance the city was entirely in Macabee hands in less than two days.

Subsequent landings

Macabee forces made a further landing at Targu Iulia with 75,000 Theohuanacu auxiliaries six days after the capitulation of Botosani. After a drawn-out fight within the city the local government surrendered to Macabee forces. The city of Vasozia was placed under siege two days after the Targu Iulia landing. The Macabee forces enjoyed almost complete air supremacy, allowing naval aviation units to conduct a large number of sorties against ground targets. Only a handful of Macabee aircraft were lost, all to ground fire or mechanical failure.

The Macabee forces eventually grew to over half a million personnel. Casualties were light in the seaport battles with the naval infantry and Theohuanacu auxiliary troops suffering fewer than three hundred combat fatalities prior to the beginning of the Vasozia operation. Vasozia would be the last of the four major cities in north Indras to fall to Macabee forces, having offered only light resistance.

Drive to the south

As Macabee forces moved inland they began to suffer casualties at a higher rate. After two weeks of fighting over 2,000 Macabee soldiers had been killed in action. As Macabee forces moved south towards the de facto international border between Macabee-occupied and Lamoni-occupied Indras, Macabee aircraft launched air strikes against insurgents located to its south.

Lamoni intervention

While driven in large part by many of the same strategic considerations as the Golden Throne, Lamoni adopted a more conciliatory strategy towards Indras. Shortly after the fall of Botosani and Targu Iulia, Lamoni President Stinson announced plans to absorb the remaining territory of Indras not occupied by Macabee forces. The Free Republic at the same time announced that it had reached agreements with some factions in Indras for peaceful integration into the new Lamonian territory of Omega. To remove the threat posed by factions which chose not to cooperate, Lamoni deployed two carrier battle groups along with four Marine divisions totaling roughly 80,000 personnel.

Treaty of Targu Iulia

Through the Treaty of Targu Iulia both Macabee and Lamoni recognized the other's territorial claims on the island of Indras. The treaty provided for the creation of a twenty kilometer wide demilitarized zone along the new international border extending ten kilometers into each territory. The treaty also allowed the signatories to mutually agree to the deployment of third-party peacekeepers to the demilitarized zone. Each signatory was allowed to nominate one third-party country to deploy up to 4,500 personnel to the demilitarized zone. The Grand Duchy of Radictistan and The People's Nation of Alfegos were nominated to supply the peacekeeping contingents.

Soon after the treaty became public knowledge, the Commonwealth of Morrdh announced plans to establish a jungle warfare training facility in Omega.

Peacekeepers arrive

The Radictistani contingent, officially designated Brigade Task Force Indras-Omega, was assembled from units of the Royal Radictistan Army's 631 Light Brigade. The force was centered around two infantry battalions and a combat engineer battalion. Following the work of an exploratory team, the Radictistanis initiated their deployment plan, dubbed Operation Mezzanine. The first Radictistani troops arrived by air. Additional troops plus heavy equipment were transported by sea in a convoy escorted by the Royal Radictistan Navy's Carrier Battle Group Two, centered around the Battle-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Count of Nuxenstat. The convoy's ultimate destination was Botosani.

The Radictistani forces divided their section of the demilitarized zone into three areas of operation designated Gitarre, Klavier, and Trommel. Each area contained a large forward operating base and several smaller Combat Security Outposts. Each FOB was named for its area and was the site of a battalion headquarters. Twenty CSOPs were established along the roughly nine hundred kilometer frontier. Carrier Battle Group Two remained in the theater to provide close air support to the Radictistani peacekeepers.

The Fegosians deployed to the southern half of the DMZ. Taskforce Omega comprised three mechanized infantry battlegroups and a tank company supported by artillery, air defense, combat engineer, and reconnaissance units. The force also included an additional engineer regiment and aviation units.

Nuxenstat travel guide

Districts

Nuxenstat is divided for administrative purposes into nine Metropolitan Departments.

• Riverside houses the government quarters and is also the central business district. Significant landmarks there include the Palace of Parliament and the Hans Skeyvesant Tower.
• Dukshof is directly opposite the river from Riverside. It is the other commercial hub of the city.
• Kirchehof is a primarily working class district. It also contains the largest slum area within Nuxenstat, the Kirchehof Blutstat.
• Norkreis is a largely residential district at the northern end of the city-county. Nuxenstat Xenocimedes Radicti International Airport is located within.
• Westbarg is home to a number of manufacturing concerns and also the Westbarg Stadium, home of the Nuxenstat Feur football club.
• Ostheim is another industrial area.

Get in

By plane

Despite being the national capital and home to more than seventeen million people, Nuxenstat has only one airport used by commercial flights: Nuxenstat Xenocimedes Radicti International Airport (IATA: NXR). Nuxenstat City Airport is used only by private aircraft.

Nuxenstat Xenocimedes Radicti International Airport

Nuxenstat Xenocimedes Radicti International Airport is the busiest airport in Radictistan by number of passenger movements and is the most common point of entry for international travelers. There are four passenger terminals. Terminals A and D are used by domestic flights. International flights arrive at Terminals B and C. The majority of international flights to Nuxenstat are provided by Royal Radictistan Airways. Because RRA is protected from competition from other Radictistani airlines ticket prices tend to be rather high although the quality of service is excellent. You can save money by flying with a non-Radictistani airline.

Immigration and customs formalities at Radictistani airports are fairly nominal. You should be able to make it through promptly so long as your passport is current. The international terminals should not be too crowded as the airport has excessive capacity in regards to international travel. Because of the heightened terrorist threat in Radictistan you will see a large number of armed security personnel in the terminal.

There are several options for transport from the airport. The fastest way to get to the city center is via the Nuxenstat Schnellbahn. Trains depart from the airport station and travel directly to Nuxenstat Central Station without stopping. At that destination it is easy to transfer to transfer to the Metro or a tram line. The Schnellbahn is relatively comfortable and is convenient for travelers with heavy luggage. However the frequency of the service is lower and the fare is higher than that of other options. Budget travelers may wish to use other means of transit. The Nuxenstat Metro also connects the airport to the city center. Trains depart more frequently than the Schnellbahn service and the fares are lower, especially at peak times. However the trains tend to be more crowded and pickpocketing can be a problem at other stations along the line although not usually at the airport itself. The transit authority also operates motorbus services from the airport to locations all over Nuxenstat although these are not recommended because of the travel times involved.

While public transit in Nuxenstat is usually pretty safe even for tourists you may prefer to take a taxi directly to your hotel or other destination. Taxi companies serving the airport know their value and price themselves accordingly. Expect to pay at least R$200 for a trip downtown. During the morning and evening rush hours you can expect it to be a long ride. It is recommended that you only enter a taxi at designated areas. While it is unlikely that you will be assaulted by an unscrupulous driver, you might encounter dishonest practices such as tampering with the meter. The security personnel know which taxis are legitimate and will deter the ones that aren’t.

By train

Nuxenstat has three train stations served by the national passenger rail company, Royal Radictistan Railways. These are Nuxenstat Central Station, Nuxenstat South Station, and the airport station. Trains coming from the north usually terminate at Central Station unless continuing through to other destinations. South Station is the final destination for northbound trains which terminate in Nuxenstat. Trains from the east and west usually pass through Central Station but not always. Be sure to read your ticket thoroughly. Many long-distance services pass through all three stations. Trains are the most common means of intercity travel in Radictistan so all stations will be crowded especially during peak travel times. There are four categories of trains operated by Royal Radictistan Railways.

• The Intercity Express runs exclusively on the main lines between Nuxenstat and the cities of Hartfer and Beschertal. These are the fastest trains in Radictistan with a maximum service speed of two hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. Tickets are more expensive than other passenger trains but the service more than makes up for it. The seats are spacious and First Class passengers enjoy meals delivered directly to them.
• Intercity trains are the most numerous type of long-distance trains in Radictistan. While the travel times involved are much longer compared with either high speed rail or air transport, the Intercity is much cheaper. Unless you wish to travel from one end of the country to another the convenience of arriving and departing at the city center will outweigh the time spent on travelling. As an alternative, the Intercity Night train from Hartfer to Wussrhas through Nuxenstat allows you to be on the move towards your destination even during the dead of night. Both couchette and stateroom accommodations are available. Premium compartments have a tendency to sell out well in advance so making a reservation before leaving for Radictistan is recommended.
• Regional and Local trains stop at all stations unlike the Intercity, Intercity Night, and Intercity Express services. There are therefore not the best choice for travelling long distances unless you are headed to a small town at which the other services do not stop. Food service is unavailable on Local trains and the state of repair on both is often not where it should be.

By car

All roads lead to Nuxenstat as far as motorways are concerned. The A10 and A14 enter from the north while the A12 comes in from the south. From the west vehicles take the A11 and A13. The A15 comes in from the east. Despite the large capacity traffic can become backed up for kilometers. It is not recommended to enter Nuxenstat by private vehicle. Travel by air or by rail instead. Motor fuel is expensive in Radictistan so you will probably save money taking public transport anyway.

By bus

Four intercity bus companies operate services between Nuxenstat and other cities. These companies stay in business by undercutting the railways company. Fares are low but the buses are often in poor condition and the threat of crime is very real.

Get around

Public transit

The Nuxenstat Metropolitan Transit Authority operates a comprehensive system of public transit. The Metro covers the dense commercial center and the entirety of Greater Nuxenstat is covered by dozens of bus and tram lines. The Nuxenstat Schnellbahn runs between the airport and the two other intercity train stations. If you will be spending at least a few days in Nuxenstat it is recommended that you buy an ExpressCard, a reusable smartcard which can be used on all NMTA services. An ExpressCard can be purchased and reloaded at all NMTA stations. Metro fares are calculated per station-pair. All other NMTA lines utilize zone-based pricing. All fares are slightly lower with the ExpressCard than with a normal paper ticket and the savings add up quickly with frequent trips. NMTA services are usually quite punctual.

Crime on the NMTA is generally low but pickpocketing is a common occurrence. Some tram and bus lines which near blutstat (shantytown) areas, particularly those in the Kirchehof Department, experience periodic flareups of violent crime and should be avoided, especially at night. Because of the rise of Communist terrorism in Norcustsur security has been heightened at NMTA stations with various measures such as random bag checks put in place. Don't be surprised to see police armed with military-style weapons.

By taxi

Five accredited taxi companies serve Nuxenstat. All licensed taxis in Nuxenstat are priced according to the distance traveled using an electronic meter and a base fare. Only the metered part of the fare is subject to government regulation; the base fare will vary depending on the company and the location from which the trip begins. Taxi rides from the airport are especially expensive. By law the base fare must be posted on both backseat windows. Especially in the outer metropolitan departments it is not recommended that you attempt to hail a taxi from the street. Call one of the accredited companies. Absolutely do not use unlicensed taxis.

By share taxi

Share taxis are less common in Nuxenstat than other Radictistani cities because of the comprehensive public transit system. They mostly exist in the outer metropolitan departments, particularly in Kirchehof. Share taxis are entirely unregulated in Nuxenstat and can be dangerous due to crime, the recklessness of the drivers, or the poor condition of the vehicles.

By car

Renting a car is not recommended. Nuxenstat traffic is extremely bad, particularly the closer one gets to the commercial center. Parking space is scarce and expensive and streets are not named according to any rational system. Furthermore the locals tend to treat traffic laws as optional unless there is a police officer within sight. If you must have your own vehicle get one with a satellite navigation system so you can find your way around Nuxenstat's streets easier.

Buy

Nuxenstat is without any doubt the best shopping city in Radictistan. The capital is the wealthiest locality by a considerable margin and has attracted a large amount of investment into its retail areas. While it is important to carry a supply of the local currency, the Radin, many shops within the central business district will accept foreign currencies. Check with your embassy before your trip to find out if your currency can be used. It may save you an expensive exchange later. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in tourist areas but don’t count on yours in particular.

Eat

Nuxenstat is the best city in Radictistan for eating well. Almost every type of food one can imagine is found within the boundaries of the metropolis. Eating establishments range from formal restaurants with prices out of reach of most locals to humble "hole-in-the-wall" operations serving simple, traditional fare. The best options for fine dining are to be found in Riverside and Dukshof. Tipping is not customary in Radictistan but servers will usually not decline. Don't give large tips, especially at restaurants frequented by locals as this will single you out as a well-off foreigner.

Use common sense about street food. If the cart looks sanitary, if you are in a relatively prosperous area, if there are police officers around who aren't harassing the vendor, then it is probably safe to eat. Radictistani street food can offer a very rewarding experience. Local staples include the humble sausage either wrapped in a bun or on a wooden stick and the increasingly popular Halbailander Kebab: shavings of spit-roasted meat served wrapped in flatbread with vegetables and a sauce, a contribution from Radictistan's Arab population.

Drink

Pubs and bars

Nuxenstat is home to both a large number and great variety of drinking establishment. In Nuxenstat as in the rest of the country drinking establishments are broadly divided into two categories: pubs and bars. The primary distinction is that pubs serve cooked food and bars do not. Bars also tend to seek a more prosperous "hipster" clientele and place a greater emphasis on mixed drinks. Know which you want before going. Locals and guidebooks will direct you to one or the other. The legal drinking age in Radictistan is seventeen. Whether or not bar staff will require you to show a photo ID will vary by establishment and by the time of day.

Alcohol retail

Beer, wine, and spirits can be purchased at almost every retail establishment in Greater Nuxenstat. Alcohol prices in Radictistan are lower than what you are probably used to, however the high cost of living in Nuxenstat eliminates much of that advantage. There is no excise tax on beverages with 40% alcohol by volume or lower. The Greater Nuxenstat sales tax still applies.

Stay safe

Nuxenstat is safer than most Radictistani cities but some areas can still be dangerous to the uninitiated. Security in many parts of the city has been tightened because of the heightened threat of terrorism.

If you see a crime being committed do not intervene unless you are armed and mentally prepared to take a human life. In Radictistan all criminals, even pickpockets, can be assumed to be armed with guns or knives and so can their victims. Don't get caught in a crossfire.

Districts of note

The commercial heart of Nuxenstat, Riverside and Dukshof are heavily patrolled by police, not least due to the presence of many government offices. Violent crime in these areas is low by Radictistani standards but you should still be careful, especially at night. If you're going somewhere, take a taxi directly from your hotel to your destination. If possible, don't ride buses at night except in the central departments.

Avoid the Kirchehof Department entirely as well as any area within a few kilometers of the blutstats. There are a lot of people there who won't hesitate to kill you for the contents of your wallet, especially if you look like a wealthy foreigner. Blutstat areas are ringed by police checkpoints. The police will warn you if you are about to enter a particularly dangerous area but they will not stop you.

Theft

Pickpocketing is common in Nuxenstat as it is in all major cities. Take every possible precaution, particularly at tourist sites and on public transit. Leave your expensive jewelry at home and keep electronics out of sight. This will reduce the risk of both pickpocketing and mugging.

Corruption

Police corruption in Nuxenstat is less severe than most other Radictistani cities. It is possible that an encounter with the police may end with a demand for a "fee" to take care of a situation more informally.

Stay healthy

The tap water in Nuxenstat is safe to drink. Besides the obvious reasons it is best to avoid the blustat areas as many blutstaters have not received vaccinations for measles, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases. Makes sure your own vaccinations are up to date before travelling. Radictistani hospitals will provide emergency treatment to anyone, including foreigners. [talk about payment/insurance]

Nuxenstat has many excellent hospitals and clinics. Major hospitals are:

• Royal Dukshof Hospital
• Royal Norkreis Hospital

Contact

If your mobile phone is not SIM-locked you can buy a temporary card from any of the mobile phone companies which provide service in Nuxenstat. The entire metropolitan area has access to 3G and 4G connectivity.

Some pubs and restaurants offer free internet access through wireless networks. This service gets more common as you near the most prosperous inner departments such as Riverside. In other areas complimentary access is less available and internet cafes are the best bet. These are common and vary in price. Don’t pay more than R$1 for a half hour. The more expensive hotels almost universally provide wireless internet access. The charge can range from free all the way up to R$15 per day.

Embassies

Foreign embassies are located in the Riverside Department near the Palace of Parliament. Most are on State's Avenue and Royal Avenue.

Ailand Vakka travel guide

Ailand Vakka is an island lying about three hundred and eighty kilometers off the Radictistani mainland. It is a common destination for Radictistani vacationers.

Understand

About half of the island's landmass is owned by the two major resort complexes on the island, the Great Sea Resort and Marina and the Smirnof Plantation which draw many thousands of Radictistani vacationers each year. There is one town on the island, Mariashafen, which is home to a third of the island's 6,000 permanent residents. During the high tourist season the population increases many times over with vacationers and seasonal workers.

Get in

By plane

Julius Smirnof Airport serves the entire island. There are daily scheduled flights from Nuxenstat, Beschertal, Mosbeck, and Wussrhas. The airport is situated in the community of Mariashafen. Both of the large island resorts have courtesy shuttles serving the airport and a local taxi company, Ailander Taxi, serves the remainder of the island.

By boat

A ropax ferry, MS Ailand Prinz, makes two round trips every week between Mariashafen and Ghorma on the Radictistani mainland. The journey takes about thirteen and a half hours barring any delays. Stateroom accomodation is available for a modest surcharge and is recommended to avoid theft. If you want to bring your car to Ailand Vakka to enjoy the seaside roads, this is the only way to do it.

Get around

By car

All major Radictistani car rental companies have branches in Mariashafen.

By bus

Courtesy shuttles provided by the major resorts and hotels run to and from the airport.

Do

Fish

Fishing is a popular activity on Ailand Vakka. There is a public fishing pier in Mariashafen and others for guests at the large resorts. Alternatively you can hire one of several boats for offshore fishing complete with a local guide.

Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights comprises sixteen articles of the Constitution of Radictistan expounding on the fundamental civil and political rights guaranteed to Radictistan's inhabitants.

Some legal scholars have criticized the Bill of Rights for being too concerned with legal minutiae and for impairing the function of government through an excessively rigid definition of rights.

Text and interpretation

The dominant school of constitutional interpretation in Radictistan is broadly textualist.

Article 1

No law or regulation shall be made concerning the endorsement of any religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedoms of speech and expression, or abridging the right of the people to assemble peaceably and to petition their government for the redress of grievances.

Article 2

No law or regulation shall deny or infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Article 3

The people shall be secure in their person, property, papers, communications, and effects against unreasonable and unwarranted search and seizure. No warrant shall be issued except upon the establishment of probable cause and upon description of the place to be searched and the persons or property to be seized. Any evidence obtained in an unlawful search is to be held as inadmissible in any court of law, notwithstanding any plea on behalf of the investigating officer.

Article 3 unambiguously establishes the existence of an exclusionary rule and prohibits any exceptions to the rule.

Article 4

No person shall be held to answer for any felony, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, nor shall any person be subject to prosecution for any overt offense twice, nor shall he be compelled in any case to act as a witness against himself or be deprived of liberty or property without due process of law.

A person tried for one act of criminal conduct cannot be tried again for the same act even if the second prosecution is sought by a different legal jurisdiction.

Article 5

Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. No court or arm of the government may take private property for the benefit of another individual person or entity. All people have the right to choose their profession or occupation. Restrictions may be imposed only to protect the public health and safety.

The courts have interpreted Article 5 to prohibit restitution, alimony, and child support. Property seized through eminent domain may only be put to public use. National, County, and local governments may only impose occupational licensing requirements in situations where health or safety is jeopardized by unskilled practice.

Article 6

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury from the County and district in which the crime was committed, the district having been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have all legal assistance necessary for his defense.

Article 7

Capital punishment may not be implemented for any offense, save for the crimes of High Treason and Civil Treason of the First Degree and only for offenses occurring between a declaration of war against a hostile state, and the end of said conflict. Excessive bail shall not be required nor excessive fines imposed. No punishment of a cruel or unusual nature shall be inflicted, nor shall any act of torture be countenanced.

Article 8

In all civil suits in which the value in question exceeds one thousand Radin, the right to a trial by jury shall be sustained.

Article 9

The enumeration in this document of certain rights shall be not be construed to deny or disparage others which the people shall retain.

Article 10

The right to own property being essential to a free state, no civil forfeiture shall be imposed.

Article 11

No body of government existing under the lawful national government shall deny or infringe any right enumerated in this document.

All provisions of the Bill of Rights are binding on all governmental entities at all levels including the Counties, Municipalities, Departments, and Metropolitan Departments.

Article 12

No invocation of any state privilege regarding the protection of classified information may be respected by any court until after an in camera examination by the court in which the corresponding suit has been heard.

Article 13

No ex post facto law, or act of civil death shall be imposed by any official entity, nor shall any secondary legislation be enacted which contains criminal or civil penalties.

All crimes and their punishments must be defined in legislation passed by Parliament or County legislatures. No civil service entity may create regulations which impose a criminal punishment or civil penalty.

Article 14

No person shall be arrested, detained, or otherwise have their movements and communications impeded unless an arrest warrant has been issued in their name, or that an officer of the law has probable cause to believe that an arrestable offense has been committed. No arrested or detained person may be held for more than seventy-two hours without being indicted or having an indictment presented to a grand jury for consideration.

Article 15

Criminal jurisdiction shall not be extended to acts committed by citizens of Radictistan located abroad except in cases of High Treason, Civil Treason, and those committed while in official employment.
