Roleplay History

2004

The Dawn (March 2004)

The fall of Kelra led many of it's powerful nations to flee the planet and resettle on a new planet, Lacia in 2004.

Lethinians Claiming and Inhabiting the Aviére Islands and Loten Highlands

In the beginning, the world of Lacia was inhabited by six nations: Kelban Island, Abarc , Plajevo, Braisenburg, Lethina and Franexia. These nations were considered the first civilizations to rise and thrive in Lacia.

As Lethinia has inhabited the peninsula for a very long time, the nation seeked to expand outside its borders. The looked up, at the Aviére Islands and at the east, the Loten Highlands. Lethinia decided to do a bold move by claiming these lands mentioned, making Lethinia the first ever nation to expand past its borders. They built settlements at the places, thankfully there werent habited by native tribes which could disturb the inhabiting process.

Aviére Archipelago

As Lethinia inhabited the Aviére Isles, some sailors decided to explore farther from the isles and they discovered smth shocking. Many Islands!! .They decided to name it "The Aviére Archipelago". Lethinia decided to inhabit these isolated islands and build many settlements .Many people called these expansions "Early-Colonization" (not "full" colonization) bcs these newly claimed islands being far away from the mainland.

As Lethinia was expanding, The great Empire of Kelbania is growing in strength. Their glorious Emperor Henry Wert, had decided to make their military more powerful. The decision was made a month ago, and now their military vehicles are one of the most powerful in all of Lacia. The Royal Military has now 1,250,000 active personnel and even more in reserves. Their vehicles have also got an upgrade. They had made new generation of Tanks, Armored Vehicles and Fighting Jets They have now 3,000 tanks, 20,000 Armored Vechicles, 600 New generation Fighting Jets and around 7,000 other class vehicles.

The Kelbania Emperor had also made another decision. After being notified of a terrorist organization forming near the Empire, Emperor Henry Wert has decides to fortify our borders. They now have 470,000 soldiers securing safety of our Nation. ,,

The Empire will maintain its safety at all costs''- said Emperor Henry Wert in his last public speech.

The Colonization Event (April 2004)

Many nations, not wanting to be left behind by the expanding Lethinia, also began setting up colonies all throughout Lacia. The first of these was Kelban Island, after their great Emperor announced the expansion of the Kelbanian Empire. As he has said in his last public speach, The Kelbanian Empire will expand south, taking many forest territories, as well as some of desert territories. The great Nation will also form a small border with the United States of Youthenheim. This new change will help Kelban Island in improving our relations with the USY and hopefully, make us close allies.

Kelban Island had Colonized a part of the Island north to the main land of Kelbanian Empire. The colony has been named Kelbania and will be ruled by Prime Minister Claus Renti. There are some reports that the Island is inhabited by primitive tribes, but for now they stay hidden. Emperor Henry Wert has decided to colonize the island, becouse of its high amount of Petroleum that we need for evolving our military, industry, etc. Besides that, the colony will be avaiable as a place to live for citizens when the first city will be built.

As Kelban Island was expanding, Lethinia also carried out expansions of it's own again, with Lethinia having colonized two peninsulas (named Fersé) as a Royal Colony in Lethinia. But shockingly natives lived there, but thankfully they weren't hostile and were willing to talk. Lethinia got all of its land while the Natives became a "Princely state" AKA a colony but not a colony and more autonomous. The Natives decided to become a "Princely state" because they dont really wanna fight a nation that has a 28-tuple army and it was better to be a "Princely state" instead of dying and being a territory.

As April 2004 was coming to a close, the Kelbanian Empire's emperor delivered a speech to the Kelbanian public, announcing the end of the Kelbanian Rapid Colonization.

Hello citizens of the Kelbanian Empire. This is a direct message from the Emperor Henry Wert: Today, our Empire has made Another Colony! It is our fifth and for now, final colony. With the new colony, comes a new chapter of our Empire. The Kelbanian Empire is no more. From now on, the will be the Kelbanian Colonial Empire You may ask, what is the first decision of the Kelbanian Colonial Empire? Well i come with an answer. We have been long enough threatened by the Terrorist organization know as GROT Kelban People. Thats why the Royal Kelbanian Armies have now crossed the border between Kelbanian Colonial Empire and GROT Kelban People. It is our only Military operation and we dont want any help from other nations."-      DM from Emperor Henry Wert to the Kelbanian people.

During the rapid colonization event, the nation of Franexia also had its election on the new Franexian Prime Minister. The election featured three candidates for the position, Maksim Rewiń (Workers Party of Franexia (WPF)), Raxon Qort (Franexian Republican Party (FPP)), Jack Wert (Cousin of the Emperor of Kelban Island) (Democratic Party of Freedom (DPF)), and Franek Rebin (Elite Military Group of Franexia (EMGF)). The elections took place on the 10th of April with the WPF candidate Maksim Rewin winning the election.

Abarc's Transformation

In Abarc, in a historic event that stunned the nation and the world, King Charles announced his abdication from the throne after decades of reign. The official ceremony, held at the royal palace, was marked by moments of deep emotion and respect for the monarch's decision. King Charles, known for his commitment to philanthropy and international diplomacy, expressed his desire to spend more time with his family and dedicate himself to humanitarian causes. In his farewell speech, he thanked the people for their continued support and declared his full confidence in the heir to the throne. Prince Carlos, heir and eldest son of King Charles, was crowned in a splendid ceremony that followed the abdication. The new king, who received formal education in governance and served the country in various capacities, promised to continue his father's legacy and lead the nation with justice and integrity. The peaceful transition of power is seen as a testament to the stability and strength of the monarchy, and the day has been declared a national holiday. Citizens from across the country and leaders of foreign nations sent their congratulations to the new king, wishing him a prosperous and successful reign. King Carlos, now faces the challenge of modernizing the monarchy while maintaining the traditions that are dear to the hearts of the people. With the world watching, he takes his first steps as monarch, promising to honor the past and embrace the future.

The Lusitâ Kingdom of Abarc soon announced its transformation into a colonial Empire on the third of May. The young and ambitious Carlos I of Abarc, just 22 years old, crowned himself Emperor, marking the beginning of a new era for the people of Abarc. With territorial expansion, the Empire now encompasses four distinct colonies: Terracaval, known for its majestic horses and mountainous landscapes; Terra Verde, a jewel of biodiversity and natural resources; Ouro Real, whose mines promise wealth and prosperity; and Terra de Paz, a sanctuary of harmony and diplomatic refuge. Emperor Carlos I, in his inaugural speech, promised an era of exploration, culture and scientific advancement. “Our colonies represent the strength and diversity of our Empire. Together, we will achieve feats that will be remembered for generations,” he declared, under the watchful eye of a hopeful nation. The world watches with anticipation as the Lusitâ Colonial Empire of Abarc steps onto the global stage, ready to weave its legacy into history.

War of Humanity and Freedom (May 2004)

May 1

Plajevó’s newly elected Prime Minister, Иулій Купавнікӣ (Yuliy Kupavniki) , states in a press conference that, “The use of Slave labor in Terispol, one of the Kelbanian Empire’s many holdings, is unacceptable to the principles on which Plajevo was founded. We have started an initiative to help escaped slaves find better homes and lives in our own nation.” She went on to say how when she talked to some slaves about what they had experienced, she was absolutely overwhelmed. The Plajevi Saṅulu has decided that they will be hosting airlifts from the colony to get them out of there. These escaped slaves will be provided with free therapy sessions and new jobs will be made accordingly.

May 2

Meanwhile on the Second of May, the Axis of Freedom (consisting of Kelban Island, Franexia and Bealtiamor) declared war on the International League of Humanity (ILH) (consisting of Braisenburg, Tyra Melin ,Querteria, Plajevo and Youthenheim). The Kelbanian Prime Minister Rick Saris had decided to declare war because of the fact that Youthenheim is protecting the government of GROTKP, Kelbania's enemy. The soldiers of Kelbanian Colonial Empire soon entered Youthenheim and were marching to the Baranski City (The capital of Youthenheim). The Prime Minister had also decided that the Kelbanian Colonial Empire is not good enough. Because of that, the PM had officially declared the formation of the new Kelbanian Military Empire.

Within only a few hours of the AOF's declaration of war on the ILH, the Kelbanian Military Empire had already occupied 10 kilometers of USY's mainland and 4 kilometers of Silecia (colony of USY). As the KCE pushed into Youthenheim, Bealtiamor had entered Querteria which had 0 soldiers present at the border.

Franexia meanwhile had sent 4,000,000 men to attack Tyra Melin from the south (territories that are closest to Franexia). The Franexian Army captured a military unit of 200,000 people and had captured a small piece of land. It was estimated that around 500,000 Franexian soldiers died in the attack, but Franexia soon sent another 2,000,000 people to the front for reinforcements. For now, Franexia was occupying 4 small cities and 3 small villages, but the nation has repeatedly expressed it's commitment to capturing all of Tyra Melin.

Bealtiamor meanwhile sent armies that had successfully landed in Youthenheim at the southern part of the country. The nation had deployed 1,000,000 troops in total and now was marching through unprotected territories. The nation still had a whole armada ready to bombard from the sea any coastal city. The armada also prevents any ship from entering and from leaving USY water's. Bealtiamor had also fully taken and occupied the nation of Querteria, with all the armies that have been fighting there will now be stationed there to prevent any unwanted atacks.

May 3

On the third of May , the Youthenheim Military with the help of Tyra Melin, had pushed back the front. They had recapture 2 small cities from Kelbanian Colonial Empire but their triumph was not long. Bealtiamor soon landed their troops in southern Youthenheim capturing a small bit of land, forcing the two armies to split in two parts and send the second part to the Bealtiamor's front. Due to this, there now was a smaller army at the Kelbanian front which led to recapturing one of the small cities by Kelbanian Empire. But even with the United States of Youthenheim very close to defeat, it expressed it's sentiment to never give up even in the face of horrible odds. Plajevo soon sent aid to Youthenheim, sending 20,000 soldiers, 500 Planes, and 10 Space Trains to Youthenheim in order for them to gain back their holdings in Querteria. Braisenburg also denounced the Axis of Freedom ,calling it Imperialism in Disguise.

May 4

The Lethinian King is Dead!

Even with the nation of Lethinia being neutral in the war, it still suffered national shock when on May 4th at 2 am, then ruler of Lethinia King Philipe died in his sleep with many suspecting that he had died either from a stroke or lung cancer due to his addictive smoking habits. Many people were surprised and sad, especially his wife where she mourned in his room. The new Queen, Alisa paid tribute to her Father in an address to the Nation and the Colonies the next day. Politicians throughout the Kingdom paid tribute to the King, praising his long public service. The People of the rest of the world also offered their condolences and tributes, as did members of royal families, religious leaders and other public figures.

Offensives and Operations

One hour after the death of the King of Lethinia, at around 3:00am, Kelbanian Colonial Empire had sent four F-117 Nighthawk's in the intention of bombarding major cities in Youthenheim. The bombardments lasted around 4 hours (until 7:25am). The biggest bombardment was on the capital, Baranski City which had been destroyed around 40%. Estimates say around 100,000 civilians were killed and another 300,000 were injured in the cruel bombing of Baranski City. Besides the capital, the bombardments were also done to the cities of New Heim, Irucia and Salvendra, in which around 400,000 citizens were killed and 500,000 were injured in total.

Meanwhile on Bealtiamors front led by General Dave Pol, they had finally captured the main base of the Youthenheim's Army along 10,000 soldiers and 30 high ranking officers. Bealtiamor is now trying to get information from them about the plans of the ILH and where the government of GROTKP is hiding. Bealtiamor also had stopped it's attack for now and we will wait for the reinforcement to arrive, having already blocked the water trade routes. Bealtiamor have lost 1,000,000 soldiers in total, but is still winning in Youthenheim. It had also sent one naval fleet of 500 warships to Plajevo as planned.

Later that day, in a surprising move that has shaken the global geopolitical landscape, the nation of Abarc has announced its effective entry into the war alongside the Axis of Freedom, launching a large-scale offensive against the International League of Humanity. The target of the operation is the strategically important Brasienburg, a location of critical importance to the ongoing conflict. Abarc has mobilized a colossal army of 4 million soldiers, equally divided between the forces of Abarc and those of its ally, The Kelban Island (Kelbanian Colonial Empire). The landing strategy has been meticulously planned: 2 million Abarc soldiers will split in half, with one part landing on the southernmost island, where Brasienburg’s capital is located, and the other half attacking the most western point of the territory. Simultaneously, the forces of the Kelban Empire will follow an identical action plan. The landing operation will be launched from the colony of Terracaval, a territory under Abarc’s dominion, which will serve as a transition point for the troops before the assault. After a successful landing, a rigorous naval blockade is planned along the entire coast of Brasienburg, from both the south and the north, aiming to cut off any possibility of reinforcements or supplies for the enemy forces. This bold maneuver by Abarc is seen by many analysts as a potential turning point in the war, possibly altering the balance of power and defining the course of future events. The world watches closely as the situation unfolds.

Alisa shocks the World

Lethini Astronaut Vlasta Sherd in space

On the same day as King Philippe's death, the new Queen Alisa had shocked the world by sending the First Man into Space and Crowning herself as Empress. Aboard the spacecraft Villa 1, Lethini cosmonaut Vlasta Sherd becomes the first human being to travel into space. During the flight, the 27-year-old test pilot and industrial technician also became the first man to orbit the planet, a feat accomplished by his space capsule in 89 minutes. Villa 1 orbited Terra at a maximum altitude of 187 miles and was guided entirely by an automatic control system. The only statement attributed to Sherd during his one hour and 48 minutes in space was, “Flight is proceeding normally; I am well.” After his historic feat was announced, the attractive and unassuming Vlasta became an instant worldwide celebrity. He was awarded the Order of Alexander and given the title of Hero of the Lethinia. Monuments were raised to him across Lethinia and streets renamed in his honor. Queen Alisa also made a Bold Move and Suggested to be Crowned as Empress of Lethinia. The Nobility and Clergy were Supprised and Worried abt the Suggestion as the Last Emperor was very Bad and Corrupt, Abusing the Power as the Emperor. But as its the Present Day they whould've Probably thought that Alisa whould not do it and Accepted it to make Lethinia more Powerful. Afternoon at the Battersea Grand Cathedral was when Alisa was Crowned as Empress of Lethinia while Her Mother, Sophia, Took the Title as Empress Mother and Alisas Husband, Josef of Vonštag as Prince-Consort. All Crowned by Alisa Herself with the Assistance of the Battersea Bishop.

May 5

Braisenburg Prepares for War

Brasienburg, with a population of 77,540,687, is preparing for an unprecedented war effort. Of its population, 25,731,800 men and women, ages 19 to 45, were selected for the essential war effort. Of these, 17,744,583 were immediately directed to the battlefield. Those who underwent mandatory conscription more than 15 years ago will receive training to adapt to new weapons. The remainder of this population, made up of 7,987,217 inhabitants, was redirected to essential industries, such as agriculture, manufacturing, weapons and ammunition production, among others. Minors and the elderly were relocated by families to live together in shelters provided by the government. Most of these shelters are the homes of families whose heads were sent to war. The Brasienburgian government has been praised for its rapid mobilization for war. However, the need for accelerated production of weapons and ammunition is creating external debt. To solve this problem, the government created an emergency measure in which private properties uninhabited and unused during the war will be taken over by the government. The president, fearing a drop in public opinion, promised a high reward for conscripts who survived the war, with a pay of Đ98,638 per battle or per week of war. If soldiers die, the State guarantees that the pay will be passed on to their non-combatant family members. If both parents of a minor die in the line of duty, a benefit of Đ32,879 will be passed on monthly to the young Brasienburgian's new guardian. School spaces are being used as bomb shelters and in the future will be used as orphanages for young people who no longer have any legally responsible relatives alive. The organization is being carried out digitally, where each citizen is receiving their own code in an extremely rigid system of organization, which is being promulgated through a hidden hyperserver within Brasilenburgian territory.

Due to the history of peaceful conflict resolution, Brasienburg was only able to send around 3 million units to the war front, due to the lack of equipment. Two million were sent to the south to respond to the enemy attack, where all the forces of the Brasienburgian Army will be focused to force a break in the maritime blockade created by Abarc. For this, 4 Nimitz Class aircraft carriers are being used, carrying AS365K Pantera helicopters, to identify submarines, and 12 Arleigh Burke Class destroyers, being protected by more than 144 Inhaúma Class corvettes. To the east, Brasienburg has sent 1 million units to S. A. (Silva Areas), where he hopes to delay the enemy using guerrilla tactics within the jungle.

Youthenheim Situation

Meanwhile, the worst happened for Youthenheim. It's colonies had decided to surender to the Axis of Freedom. The reason of this is the fact of Youthenheim losing the war and that they don't want to lose any more of their population. Youthenheim is left with only 500,000 soldiers, but it is still fighting. The Prime Minister of the Kelbanian Empire, who is the mastermind behind the AOF, has been apprehended by forces from the ILH, currently keeping him in an undisclosed location. Plajevó and it’s colonies officially declared war on the AF and any nation who fights against humanity and the common good. The AOF further took a hit when Franexia's President decided to change sides, making an agreement with the ILH. Franexia will pay reparations to Tyra Melin and return them the land occupied. Franexia will join the war to defeat the Prime Minister's regime. This decision was made because of the execution of the president's brother, made by The Prime Minister because of an disagreement.

Bealtian Bombardment

Later that day, the Admiral of the Bealtian Fleet had ordered the bombardment of the coastal cities of Plajevo. The reason of this attack was to force the Plajevis to hand over the Prime Minister Rick Saris back to Kelbanian Empire. In the first hour, the bombardment had already killed around 100,000 people and had destroyed 40% of the affected cities.

Plajevo has only one chance to hand over the Prime Minister Rick Saris or else we will destroy the cities and we will begun the atack of the Armies. For now You are cut from international waters."- Said Emperor Fredric Runthston the 3rd in a TV broadcast.

Abarc's Offensive

In a series of tactical moves, Abarc's forces launched their first offensives against Brasienburg, marking a turning point in the prolonged conflict. The operations, although limited in scale, demonstrated the effectiveness and determination of Abarc's jungle warfare troops.

First Offensive: Peninsula Conquest

On the westernmost front of Brasienburg, Abarc advanced southeast, capturing a strategic peninsula and securing strategic control over the southern coast of the continent. This victory allows a significant foothold for future operations in the region.

Second Offensive: Advance on the Capital Island

To the south of the island that houses the capital of Brasienburg, Abarc's forces carried out an offensive directed northwest, conquering several kilometers of coast. This strategic advance puts Abarc's troops in an advantageous position to pressure the capital.

Third Offensive: Towards the Capital

The last offensive, also originating in the south of the island, aimed to approach the capital following the coast. The maneuver aims to encircle the city and cut its supply lines, preparing the ground for a possible siege.

Casualties and Resistance

Abarc's battalions, facing the guerrilla tactics employed by Brasienburg, suffered approximately a thousand casualties. On the other hand, Brasienburg's forces suffered significant losses, with about 12,000 soldiers lost in the offensives. The operations highlight Abarc's ability to conduct complex operations in challenging terrains, despite the fierce resistance and guerrilla tactics of Brasienburg. The world watches closely as the situation continues to develop.

Battle of Czovitsa Ridge

Meanwhile, the battle of Czovitsa Ridge was taking place. The battle started at 2:00 PM between Franexia(ILH), GROTKP(ILH), Plajevó(ILH), Tyra Melin(ILH), Abarc(AF), and Kelban Island(AF). With the death toll from each side being 9,476 on the ILH side and 13,767 on the AF side. This resulted in an ILH victory, as we forced AF troops back by nearly 52 kilometers and created an opening. We have now taken the interior of the country, and have pushed back AF forces from the country and the surrounding regions. Around 31,730 soldiers from the AF have mutinied due to poor conditions, and are now siding with the ILH. Most have been given positions in Youthenheim’s Independence Militia. Those who have not have been taken in by Tyra Melin and Myself. This marks a major turning point in the war.

May 6

Capitulation of Youthenheim

Early in the day on May 6th, Youthenheim President had decided to capitulate. The reason given was the Youthenheim government didn't want any more lives to be taken in their lands. Youthenheim is now being controlled by the AF.

Axis of Freedom Vassalization Program

The Minister of Defence(now ruling KE) had declared the start of the Vassalization Program. The Vassalization Program is meant to vassalize every nation that is not in the AF.

The program allows to take up to half of the nations land and make a colony of it and the rest becomes a vassal of the AF. Every Vasal has its Senior Nation, which for Youthenheim is Kelbanian Colonial Empire. The Vassals are not allowed to join any alliance, ]not even the AF, but they are protected by the AF.

The new Kelbanian State of Youthenheim was created after their surrender in the war. The new Kelbanian State of Youthenheim is now being Ruled by the borther of Minister of Defence, O'shea Hill. The new Kelbanian State of Youthenheim is allowed to have up to 200,000 soldiers, no Air force and up to 500 Warships in the navy. If they cross the limit, they will be merged to the Kelbanian Colonial Empire.

Abarc Embarks on a Offensive

In an unprecedented strategic move, the forces of Abarc, along with the powerful Kelban Island, initiated the largest offensive ever seen in the western continent. With a combined contingent of 3 million soldiers—1 million from Abarc and 2 million from the Kelban Empire—the troops landed in the north of Brasienburg and immediately began to advance. The offensive took the nation of Brasienburg by surprise, with the local army focused on other regions of the country. The lack of defensive preparedness in the north allowed the invading forces to conquer territory after territory, with a speed and efficiency that left little room for resistance. The few attempts at defense were quickly overcome, resulting in a series of decisive victories for Abarc and Kelban. The relentless advance to the south signals a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the region, and now the world watches anxiously as Brasienburg struggles to regroup its forces and respond to this unexpected threat.

In another recent development, the troops that retreated from the Western front have not succumbed to despair. Instead, they have been redirected to the front on the Southern Island, where they now make up an impressive force of 4 million soldiers. This new strategic positioning promises to significantly alter the course of events, bringing a new dynamic to the unfolding conflict.

Braisenburg Stikes Back

In an impressive display of military strategy, Brasienburg managed to drive away the Abarcian soldiers to the east with an extremely low number of losses, approximately 24,000. With the Abarcians now out of S.A., Brasienburg has the freedom to bombard the enemy army without restriction, and hopes to do real damage. To this end, 1000 units of the A-1 AMX are being sent, which will be responsible for the bombing. Meanwhile, the remaining 976,000 troops are assembling, awaiting the imminent arrival of 500,000 reinforcements. These troops will receive support from 300 units of the A-29 Super Tucano and 500 units of the AS365K Pantera. Overland, the 500,000 soldiers will be transported by 10,000 units of the VBTP-MR Guarani, and will enter combat with 3,600 units of the Leopard 1A5.

To the south, coastal artillery, consisting of 6,240 Astros II units, caused heavy losses to the enemy army. It is estimated that they lost more than 150 thousand units to the bombings. Despite this, they are only 44 kilometers from the capital. In response, the capital is preparing with 1.5 million units and the remaining 6,240 Astros II units. Among these reinforcements, Special Operations units stand out, waiting in the windows with sniper rifles. The government also distributed .22 weapons to residents aged 16-18 and 46-60 who were not drafted. The government hopes to trap them like a sandwich, as the 2 million soldiers have already disembarked and are approaching from behind. In addition, the government sent 34 units of Tupi Class submarines, accompanied by 6 Nimitz Class aircraft carriers, 12 Arleigh Burke Class destroyers and 144 Inhaúma Class corvettes. These units were divided into two and sent to the north and south, where we will be sure to find reinforcements arriving from the capital, or from the colony of Terracaval. On land, the Brasienburgian government sent 200 units of the F-5M Tiger, 1000 units of the Fennec HA-1A, and 1000 units of the EE-9 Cascavel. Tomorrow, the government hopes to have raised another 2 million troops, who will be supported by another million troops from Plajevo. This is a clear demonstration of Brasienburg's determination to protect its territory and its people.

Plajevo declares War on Bealtiamor

All Cities and Sites important to the Plajevi Cause are now being heavily guarded by the military and the PAR (Space Trains). Thankfully, this had held off most of the bombers and Plajevo was seeing extremely little damage done to it's cities and sacred places. Plajevo rebuilt much of it's cities with the help of it's people, and it will soon be in a state of normalcy once again. Assuming that the ILH wins the war, Plajevó will ask for 200 Million Hroťva’s in compensation to pay the military and civilians what they are owed. In addition to all of this, Plajevó has amassed more Space Trains, bringing the total up to 500. With this in mind, the Plajevi Saṅulu had decided to take this opportunity and declare war on Bealtiamor. The Plajevi PM, У́лій Купавнікӣ, had this to say about the current state of the conflict -

“We have forced many cities along their western coastline (including on smaller islands and colonies) to capitulate to the ILH. A few of these cities willfully had us come in and take them over because they were not being taken care of by their host government. We are now on the trek east, where we hope that we can officially take the capital city of Bealtiamor. We are trying our best to not hurt civilians unless absolutely necessary. Thank you.” -Yuliy Kupavniki

Tyra Melin's Major Offensive

Tyra Melin launched it's first major offensive, taking 200,000 sq. km. and is on it's way to the Kelbanian Capital. They have recruited the Emperor on their side, and many of the Kelban people. Tyra Melin has Pinks healing any sick or injured civilians from any point during the war.

All the Grade 1 Maji are on healing duty. The Grade 2 are currently leading Tyra's offensive positions. The Grade 3 Maji are divided. The Black Maji are currently only used to take out high up military leaders. They also use them as a quick and painless death in soldiers and civilians whose injuries are too severe. The White Maji are working very hard. They are the leaders on all of the fronts. They are currently creating bandages out of thin air for the people who need them most. Many of the Kelban Island rebels and the Terispol slaves have grave injuries. The whites are making sure they are stable and then taking them back to Tyra Melin, where the doctors and the remainders of our pinks will heal them. The blues and golds are working together. The blues are manipulating and purifying water to give to the people. They have lots of medicinal teas with them. To warm up the water for the teas, the golds shine the sun into the cup. It is very cold, and so some oranges are going around and making campfires. They have only 3 civilian deaths so far this battle. Their injuries were too severe. However, the rest are going to make full recoveries. - Tyra Melin Government

Abarc's Final Offensive

The forces of Abarc, along with the powerful Kelban Island, initiated the largest offensive ever seen in the western continent. With a combined contingent of 3 million soldiers—1 million from Abarc and 2 million from the Kelban Empire—the troops landed in the north of Brasienburg and immediately began to advance.

The offensive took the nation of Brasienburg by surprise, with the local army focused on other regions of the country. The lack of defensive preparedness in the north allowed the invading forces to conquer territory after territory, with a speed and efficiency that left little room for resistance. The few attempts at defense were quickly overcome, resulting in a series of decisive victories for Abarc and Kelban. The relentless advance to the south signals a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the region, and now the world watches anxiously as Brasienburg struggles to regroup its forces and respond to this unexpected threat. However, Abarc’s forces suffered a significant setback. During a powerful offensive by Brasienburg, a portion of the territories previously occupied by Abarc was lost. In response to this loss and to strengthen their position in the conflict, Abarc, along with the Kelban Empire, began excavating trenches in the southern part of Brasienburg’s southern island. These trenches, complemented by makeshift bunkers, were strategically positioned to repel future offensives from Brasienburg and serve as a solid base for defensive and offensive operations.

Victory for Braisenburg

Brasienburg launched a devastating attack against the Abarcian forces, resulting in a significant loss of life. Abarcian forces to the south were outmatched, with casualties estimated at around 2,450,000, while Brasienburg suffered approximately 1,975,000 casualties. Despite the defeat, the remaining Abarcian troops managed to make a strategic advance towards the capital, where they are now in defense. The enemy forces, under siege, concentrated their efforts on the most vulnerable point, breaking the Allied line of advance and penetrating the city. It is not yet known which defenses are protecting the last Abarcian forces, but it is certain that more than 500 thousand soldiers are facing more than a million Brasienburgians in this desperate resistance. In the east, the Abarcians were expelled from Brasienburgian territory. The number of soldiers who survived is unknown, but they retreated. In the north, the enemy army sent 3 million troops and managed to break through the coastal defenses. In response, the Brasienburgian Army is mobilizing 2.5 million troops, with an additional reinforcement of 1 million troops from Plajevo, to combat the growing invasion and prevent the loss of more territory. The government initiated preparedness measures against possible gas and fragmentation weapons attacks by distributing gas masks and pH meters. Furthermore, the equipment will be reinforced with ceramic and lead shielding. This armor will be applied to bulletproof vests and ballistic helmets, which will only be distributed to field soldiers due to the additional weight (it is worth noting that armored vehicles are protected by default against these types of weapons). There was also a change in prisoner policies. Low-ranking officers were given cyanide pills, while high-ranking officers were given aconite pills.The use of these pills is obvious. Orders for dealing with enemy soldiers are clear: “shoot first, ask questions later.”

Abarcan Coup

Meanwhile, on the island nation of Abarc, the chairman of the council, Leandro Machado, and the vice-chairman, Ruan Garcia, have been accused of orchestrating a coup d’état against the legitimate ruler, Emperor Carlos I. According to sources from the anti-republican resistance, Emperor Carlos I, known for his public appearances in a mask - a tradition that dates back centuries in Abarc’s history - never actually took power. Instead, an impostor, a subordinate loyal to Machado, took his place, deceiving the people of Abarc while the true leaders of the council consolidated their power. The news came to light following a meticulous investigation by the resistance, which uncovered irrefutable evidence of the Emperor’s kidnapping and the farce perpetrated by Machado and Garcia. The revelation has sent shockwaves through Abarc’s society, with many citizens demanding justice and the return of their Emperor. The situation remains tense, with reports of street protests and a call for international action to restore constitutional order in Abarc. The world watches closely as the crisis unfolds.

May 9

In a dramatic development that shook the foundations of the nation of Abarc, Emperor Carlos I was deposed in a bold coup led by the President of the Council, Leandro Machado, and his deputy, Ruan Garcia. The coup, which initially seemed successful, soon met resistance in the form of unwavering loyalty to the monarchy from the population. The revelation of the coup incited a swift and powerful reaction from the monarchy's defenders. The Secretary of Defense, Leonardo de Aveiro, and the Military Secretary, João Clemente, both loyal to the Empire and Emperor Carlos I, mobilized to overthrow the newly proclaimed republic. Anti-republican resistance was already simmering, and it didn't take long for them to rebel, forming a rebel army of 452,000 soldiers marching towards the capital. Meanwhile, the new president Leandro Machado sent his private army of 300,000 men to suppress the rebellion. However, in an act of betrayal and strategy, João Clemente stabbed Leandro in the back. With knowledge of the whereabouts of Emperor Carlos I, Clemente orchestrated a successful rescue operation, freeing the emperor and transporting him to Charlopolís to reaffirm his speech and position as the leader of Abarc. Leonardo de Aveiro, in turn, confronted Vice President Ruan Garcia. With the news of Carlos I's freedom, the forces loyal to Garcia turned against him, resulting in his imprisonment. The soldiers of João Clemente fulfilled their mission to protect the monarchist rebels, and the majority of Leandro Machado's troops deserted or were executed after remaining loyal to the failed regime. The nation of Abarc, at 07:32 Brasar time, erupted in celebration with the return of Carlos I to power. In his speech, the emperor promised to end the war between Abarc and Brasienburg and bring back the golden years that the nation had not seen since the height of Lusitâ in the twelfth century.This significant event not only restored the monarchy in Abarc but also reaffirmed the people's faith in their leader and the monarchical institution, promising a future of prosperity and peace.

Ending of the War - Braisenburg's Perspective

Brasienburg now breathes a sigh of relief in its newfound peace. The totalitarian governments of Kelban and Abarc suffered providential coups d'état in close periods, which led to the correct overthrow of the fascist AF alliance and the complete withdrawal of troops from these two countries, ending a period of intense conflict and uncertainty. It is certain that the peace achieved should save many lives, considering that the use of harmful gases and fragmentation weapons was about to be authorized by the International War Council. The war saw Brasienburg under massive attack from Abarc, limiting its role in the conflict to self-defense. Although Brasienburg's direct contribution to foreign aid was limited, Brasienburg's resistance had a significant impact on the outcome of the war. Kelbanian troops, which could be used on other fronts, supported Abarc in its megalomaniacal attack, certainly a decisive factor in the end of the conflict. Abarc's need to focus all of its attention on Brasienburg prevented it from diverting resources to the allied fronts, focusing on protecting one of its colonies. The Brasienburg government deserves praise for its exemplary management during the war. Compared to the losses suffered by other countries, Brasienburg remains polished. The war did not last as long as the deliberative council expected, avoiding the creation of external debts. Now, the economy is recovering efficiently, thanks to the measures implemented. However, the war left deep scars. Our homeland mourns the loss of more than 2 million lives. The current government is already planning measures to deal with the high number of orphans and retired people without the necessary number of contributors. These issues are worrying, but it is certain that appropriate measures are being discussed and designed. Brasienburg's army must undergo reformulations in several sectors to prepare for a possible future war, especially in relation to new technologies presented by other countries. Defense against high-tech equipment (and magic!?) is under discussion, but the government's true objective is to compete for dominance in the information technology industry and seek manufacturing solutions, prioritizing cost-benefit. Peace has been achieved, but the work to rebuild and strengthen the nation has only just begun. With the right leadership and the determination of the people, Brasienburg has every chance of emerging from this period stronger than ever.

Biranian's Beginnings (May 13-14)

The Biranis, cherishing their new state, are in search of a leader. A person capable of firmly keeping the new kingdom together: They end up electing Afro, a former tribal chief, tenacious, young and an envious despot. He starts taking action immediately, investing the entire nation's manpower to found a capital city, to serve them as a base of operations for their many endeavours to come. Tirith is founded, a great city on the northern lake, bustling with life and commerce. The king is named prince mayor of the city, as well as being given complete and utter power on the people of Biranian. Which hopefully will be able to fend off any colonist or imperial invasion, as they believe democracy makes weak leadership. In light of the achievement: a great temple is built in Tirith to protect their divinity and serve as a unifying national symbol, as it is reflected in their flag. The great pyramid to this day watches over the people, temperate and patient. Although, fearing the colonial empire of Abarc to the east and west and the Bealtiamorian colony of Querteria to the north. The state starts sponsoring settlers, pilgrims and caravans to expand the realm outward. Managing to carve a sizeable chunk of land within the continent, conquering and integrating new peoples.

Biranian, weary of it's neighbours, start searching for means of protection. In the search they come across the Talcaraíso Pact, a defensive pact started by the nation of Carahue to it's south. As they were both looking for mutual protection in a world full of dangers, king Afro of Biranian sent an envoy to Talcaraíso in an effort to enter the alliance, ending in a success! But after entering the pact, they still felt exposed to conquest, thus they created the Defensive Pact Against Colonialism. An alliance thriving for the protection of unconquered lands and limiting the influence of GCEN within Lacia/RWOT.

Tensions and Terrorism (May 15-16,2004)

During these days, the Jamahiriya empire has been suffering constant terrorist attacks against the civilian population. In Tripoli (At May 13 of 2004), there was even an attempted assassination (car bomb and shooting) against Gaddafi's Big Brother and guide (it is extremely forbidden to say his name, both inside the country or outside the country, regardless of whether it is said by a Gaddafi citizen or of another nationality). Although the attack was unsuccessful, it caused the death of 25 people, all of them bodyguards. After the attack, the guide guard (Jamahiriya branch of the army) searched exhaustively for those responsible, and found them, near the border with Franexia. The detainees were 12 Kelbanian soldiers, veterans of the great war. According to their testimony, they were only "following orders from above, to avoid a catastrophe in Lacia/RWT." They were immediately taken to a prison in Tripoli. Then, in a humiliating march, they were led to a busy city square, where they were interrogated if it was a plan to invade Gadafian territory by the Kelbanian empire. These, with a smile on their face, said nothing, except that "the Gadafians are guilty of all the misfortunes of Lacia, and they will die exterminated at the hands of the emperor." After this they were publicly tortured and lynched by the crowd to death.The Big Brother and Guide of the Jamahiriya Empire ordered total militarization on all the borders of the empire and demanded public apologies from the Kelbanian Empire for the damage his deserting soldiers did to the nation, in addition to waiting for the Kelbanian emperor's response to take action on the matter.

Meanwhile, on May 16th, Baranski City was attacked by some kind of deadly force. It was a whole army of (reports say) 500 people. The army of 500 people were unstopable. One of our Army Group of 5,000 people was killed by those people in only 30 minutes. They were shot, but they would not stop. Only after the people were shot in the heart (which was hard as they had some kind of weird armor on them) they fell to the ground. We dont know how they would react to the shot in the head, but we belive that they would die right in that moment. Youthenheim lost around 100,000 people in this bloody atack and the Private Army lost around half of their forces. They retreated to the neutral zone and were not seen after that. This atack will not be forgoten and the goverment has decided to hire the organization known as ,,Originals'' that was created in Kelbanian Empire.

Final Days of May

The small nation of GROT Kelban People is grappling with an overpopulation crisis that has captured international attention. Home to a densely packed population of over 150 million, GROT Kelban People faces significant challenges, including inadequate housing, strained infrastructure, and scarce natural resources. President Alaric Dovan addressed the nation in a press conference, stating, "Our beautiful land is buckling under the weight of our growing population. We must seek immediate and long-term solutions to ensure the well-being of our citizens and the sustainability of our environment." In a significant diplomatic move, GROT Kelban People has established a trade pact with the Kelbanian Colonial Empire. The agreement aims to alleviate some of the pressures of overpopulation by facilitating the export of agricultural products, manufactured goods, and technological services from GROT Kelban People in exchange for essential resources and infrastructural support from the Kelbanian Colonial Empire. Emperor Henry Wert of the Kelbanian Colonial Empire remarked, "This trade pact is not just an economic arrangement but a testament to the enduring bond between our peoples. By working together, we can help GROT Kelban People overcome its current challenges and thrive." Furthermore, in a historic development, GROT Kelban People has officially joined the Global Coalition of Nations (GCN). Membership in the GCN will provide GROT Kelban People with access to global aid programs, development grants, and a platform to voice its concerns on the world stage. At the GCN headquarters in Trytan, Secretary-General Maria Elston welcomed GROT Kelban People, stating, "The inclusion of GROT Kelban People into the GCN is a pivotal step towards greater global cooperation and solidarity. We are committed to supporting GROT Kelban People as it navigates its overpopulation crisis and works towards sustainable development." The international community has responded positively to these developments. Several nations have pledged aid and technical expertise to assist GROT Kelban People in managing its population issues and improving living conditions. As GROT Kelban People embarks on this new chapter of international cooperation and development, the hope is that these strategic partnerships and global support will pave the way for a more stable and prosperous future for its citizens.
