I recommend checking out Dorm's factbook on Charbagnia but in general, in Aprosia's view atleast, it was a start for a legitimate genocide of the local Aprosians. However Aprosia wasn't there to just maintain peace though...
Atleast officially it was all about bringing peace to the country so just don't look deeper alright?
Daily reminder, this RP exists :)

any nation here, that has a flight school established in your nation?
Dab in it, Wagwan!
If you know The Andromeda Strain then basically it killed everyone except for the people in New York because it mutated.
any other oligarchical nations in TWI
oh cool, my government is the definition of an oligarchy lol
It's always been a blue and a green, they're both very dark though so I don't blame you for mixing them up a bit
There is no national law restricting the use of firearms, though many of the urban areas do have rules about open carry and legal age to purchase a weapon. The rural areas have very little restrictions, the only universal law is that firearms can’t be carried in bars or temples. In some of the interior areas, especially those near the savanna, carrying of firearms are required due to the presence of wild animals.
Check out my new W.I.P article that is TOTALLY not an excuse to get out my national factbook:
Aerial view of the airport
Motto: "Connecting people through journeys"
Location: Wyvernborough, Esterazdravo
Focus city for: Silver Dove Airways.
Runways: 2
Website: Wyvernboroughairport.com
Overview
Wyvernborough International Airport is the intenational of Wyvernborough, the capital of Esterazdravo, and located in Wyverborough. It is the country's largest airport and is the hub of the country's airline, Silver Dove Airways and a destanation for multiple airlines in The Western Isles. The airport has the capactiy to hold even the largest of aircraft and handles millions of passengers per year.
There is no enumerated right to bear arms within the 1982 Constitution, however it could (but likely hasn't yet) be implied from Article 80, Paragraphs 2, 7, and 21 as ownership of a weapon is property and can thus be protected. In addition, the gun buying process is regulated by the federal government to create a robust paper trail for nationwide tracking and inventory of civilian firearms.
Aside from that, the matter is generally considered to be an affair for the Republics to handle outside of an Automatic Weapons Ban from the federal government, forbidding the sale to private customers any weapon or weapon modification that is capable of fully automatic fire. The Republic of Kapolder is more stringent by limiting personal safety/personal carry to no more than two pistols per licensed owner which must not be loaded beyond a certain capacity if carried on their person, all other weapons must be stored in a home safe or at a local police safe. Feerwerd, Temple, Ardeda, and Annecy are more relaxed and allow ownership of long rifles for hunting and semiauto PDWs for personal ownership.
The remaining Republics have varying regulations between the two which can be generalized as "Concealed carry, no more than a small collection at home in a safe, sporting guns stay at your local range's safe and anything else you own is stored with the police, you may have as much ammo as is reasonable for the purpose of your gun (i.e only a few rounds for a self defense weapon, a box or two for sporting weapons, some more for hunting weapons) and more requires a sufficient reason filed with the local court."
No Republic or territory permits open carry in public spaces and the legal age of gun ownership in the United Republics is 20 plus a mandatory firearm safety license and course.
Pray for Indonesia y’all
All gun venders in Veldhaven must be registered and licensed by the federal government, as well as being licensed by the FIC (Federal Investigatory Committee). All transactions must be processed digitally via card as to ensure a paper trail and uploaded to a central database.
Rifles are only allowed for certain sporting uses. You can obtain a license to get one, which is valid for of 5 years and means that you can rent out a rifle everytime you go to a lodge. The rifle is only permitted inside the grounds of the lodge. Such licenses cost 40 Groots.
Shotguns are permitted only for farming occupations to keep out pests, not for personal use and strictly banned within urban areas. Farmers can apply for one but need to prove their occupation. Shotguns are only allowed on the farmers property and other farm properties with permission of the owner. Such a license costs 80 Groots.
Handguns are allowed for personal use, but concealed carry is illegal. People may keep firearms in their own homes and use them for self-defense. If you use a handgun in connection with another crime you are still charged with intent to use a firearm/use of a firearm illegally, regardless of whether you bought it legally. The maximum penatly for illegal use of a firearm depends on the connected crime, but owning an illegally obtained firearm carries a 5 year sentence. There is also a maximum limit on handguns allowed in urban areas, once it is reached you have to wait for the current number to decrease. A license for personal use costs 120 Groots.
All licenses are only available for permanent residents of Veldhaven. One has to be over 18 years old and apply with the FIC. In order to get a license you have to go through mandatory safety training, which usually lasts around 6 weeks. Once you have obtained the license it is on a database and all firearms you own are registered to it. It is your responsibility to update this registry in line with shop receipts. Inaccurate registry can result in a fine. A personal license lasts for 10 years, when it has to be renewed.
All automatic and semi-automatic, as well as modified weapons are illegal in Veldhaven. All weapons sold have to be manufactured in Veldhaven or from approved importers.
Wassup Everyone! I was watching the Movie Armageddon yesterday, and a idea struck me, a RP Idea, what if a Asteroid were to Strike the Western Isles? The RP Would involve a Nation discovering a Asteroid on the way to Destroy The Western Isles, and we must all awoke together to stop it.
Now of course, the RP Would not be a Canon RP (as in officially part of our Regional History) but more of just for fun.
What do you guys think of it?
i dont kno., matbe n/ot!~1
I don't actually know, I only saw them leave.
That actually happened already in the 2000s! It’s a historical event, so you’re free to add some effects of it to your history, and the factbook is linked below:
Baetylus 2000VC04, commonly referred to as Baetylus approximately 400 meters in diameter and responsible for the Baetylus 2000VC04 Impact Event that occured in 2001.
Dr Adolf Marner while being with the Space Administration of Balnik (SAB), first discovered Baetylus on November 12th, 2000, further research was conducted across the isles with its primary observer being the Balniki Aerospace Institute. Further research predicted that the asteroid's orbit would cross the Earth's, making it a potentially hazardous object (PHO).
Two months later on January 6th, the Balniki Aerospace Institute announced the appearance of the asteroid and its high probability of striking the planet with Gael and Eastern Argus projected to suffer the most damage. Due to the time restraints the nations of the Isles had to prepare and the scattered nature of the nations within Aerospace treaties, the asteroid entered the atmosphere as predicted on December 3rd, 2001. Within a week 50,000 lives were lost in Balnik alone, plunging the country into unrest.
Researchers at the Space Administration of Balnik led by Dr Adolf Marner, discovered Baetylus in November, 2000. Further research conducted by the Balniki Aerospace Institute using computer simulations concluded that Baetylus would impact enter the Roche limit on December 3rd, 2001. Although the asteroid was wide it was speculated that the composition of the asteroid was weak and fragile with most of the fragments burning up in the atmosphere. However it was predicted that debris that did make it through would strike from the north to central Isles.
The BAI reported this to its parent branch, the Armed Forces of Balnik, which the was reported directly to Andre Chernobog, leader of the nation. Chernobog decided to hold onto this information for two months to assess the validity and accuracy of the findings and to not cause panic and disarray within the populace and nations.
On January 6th, 2000, Director of the BAI, Dr. Rovič Belgradi, disclosed the information of the impending impact to the public and a press release that shook citizens all over Balnik. Chernobog, predicting that the nations of the world would not be able to cooperate and form a defensive measure, and given the time limit, envisioned a shelter program to be acted out all across the major urban areas of the nation. The program fell short of its intended goals, with shelters only being build in Rustov, Zokol, Kayan, Zojina, and Chernogreb, each one capable of holding 50,000 to 100,000 persons.
Clockwise from top left; Ostrov Island Crater, Pride Crater in Cinnigrad, Kotlumi Crater, Zeleny Crater.
As predicted, on December 3rd, 2001, Baetylus broke through the Roche limit. The asteroid spent two days orbiting the planet at a decaying rate before plummeting into the atmosphere, breaking apart into fragments that burnt in the atmosphere, with some, breaking through and crashing into the Southern Sea. Unfortunately some fragments struck land, with Balnik bearing the heaviest of the bombardment, with 4 craters hitting the Kotlumi mountains, The Zeleny Forest, Ostrov Island, and the most devastating being Cinnigrad, which plunged the downtown area into the sea and destroyed the majority of the city. 50,000 civilians were killed in Balnik and many more went to become refugees. In Townside a stray piece that orbited the planet came down and struck land, creating Fei Hua Lake with minimal casualties. In Dormill and Stiura, stray orbital fragments hit the country with unknown casualties. the 6th of December the last fragment crashed into the Lotus sea, ending the bombardment and reign of Baetylus.
The aftermath of the impacts weighed down on Balnik as the nation struggled to recover, Cinnigrad, a major industrial and economic hub for the city, was destroyed, and the nation faced a material shortage as its resources went to construction of the shelters. Aid did come in from Altera, Segentova, and Townside, this prevented the nation from collapsing completely but also supported the Fascist government. This resulted in mass unrest and unprecedented political upheaval. The impacts eventually led to Operation Operation Cleaning of Stained Floors, of which paramilitary forces belonging to the Balniki National Socialist Party, detained and executed several armed forces leaders in fear of an imminent coup. Chernobog consolidated his power and directed the hatred among the populace towards Gael, citing their neglect during the strikes and exploitation during the Gael Economic Crash.
The end of 2000 and all of 2001 would be marked by the discovery of the Near-Earth Asteroid Baetylus 2000VC04 and the further discovery of a possible impact event. President Granger, in a then unprecedented move, coordinated with the Balniki government and that of multiple other Isles nations to respond to the crisis, leading the formation of an impromptu council of nations as a forum to respond to the impending crisis. When the news broke that the asteroid had a high likelihood of impacting within Gael, Congress initially debated the veracity of the information given its Balniki source, but was soon convinced when the Doraltic Space Sciences Institute and United Republics Air Force Space Service corroborated the Balniki and Magrati reports, confirming the near certainty that the asteroid would intersect Earth’s orbit low enough that it could pass through the Roche Limit and break up.
Knowledge and fear in hand, Congress quickly passed legislation to redirect federal funds into a “Doraltic National Emergency Response Fund” and direct the United Republics Army to begin construction of shelters across the nation to house as much of the population as possible in the event an impactor struck major population centers. In order to ease the building national panic, the Granger Government spent enormous time and effort on various campaigns to assure the public that the asteroid is not large enough to survive atmospheric entry and that any possible fragments would be too small to pose a threat to national integrity. The resulting economic slowdown caused by the initial panic combined with a market that was falling apart did serious damage to Granger’s overall status as President, dipping well under 45% approval by the nation in mid-August through early September, with elements of the Doraltic right wing casting doubt at the threat Baetylus posed to the nation and the proportion of response the federal government provided.
By September, tracking of Baetylus and its possible fragments painted a grim picture for Dormill and Stiura, with its largest population centers in Kapolder, Boissieux, and Launey all at risk for direct impacts as powerful as a nuclear bomb. By then, the Army had completed enough shelters across the nation to house up to 3 million people for the entire week of the expected impact, these shelters were focused primarily in the urban areas surrounding the Kapolder Bay. In addition to the underground shelters, the Army had also constructed or made plans to requisition the use of several post-impact shelters, mostly to process the people who could not enter an underground bunker or lost property in the impacts themselves. When the Congress prepared to enter recess at the end of October 2001, President Granger exercised for the first and so far only time the Presidential power to compel the continued attendance of Congress, seeking to pass further legislation relating to the crisis and calm concerns from the public that Congress would abandon Cour Rouge for other destinations to ride out the impacts.
By November, the predicted path of impact was solidly confirmed and preparations began to wind down, further construction of impact shelters would cease by mid-November, the Army claiming that it would be impossible to complete further meaningful work before Impact Day in early December. When impacts began on 6 December, millions of Dormill-Stiuraians huddled in impact shelters across the nation, fearing the worst as news filtered in of impacts across the Southern Sea and then Balnik.
Ultimately, there would be seven total major impacts across Dormill and Stiura, with several more minor impacts. The closest any impactor would reach a major population center was the first, impacting over a hundred kilometers from the city of Temple, while the most severe impact would be Van Curan Valley meteorite, with an equivalent energy output of 700+kt of TNT. As a result of the following Earthquakes, a significant part of Temple, Broons, and Enoire were damaged or destroyed and up to 5000 people lost their lives in the immediate week following, mostly from injuries sustained from collapsing structures in Temple and Broons. In the end, the United Republics suffered a billion dollars in damaged and destroyed property, 9418 dead from the immediate impact and events relating directly to them, and several million hectares of burned or glassed land.
As 2001 finally ended, Dormill and Stiura threw itself headfirst into the international reconstruction effort, sending the bulk of funds saved up from the National Emergency Relief Fund allocated to international aid to Balnik, alongside dedicating several waves of economic stimulus across Gael to restart national economies. This provided a significant political win to Doraltic Conservatives, who advocated now would be the perfect time for the government to get its foot off the neck of the economy, and allow the free market to reset itself. Given the options, President Granger reluctantly agreed to a massive spending bill that saw the Doraltic Government continue pumping money into the nation to kickstart the economy, but also made significant tax cuts, especially to the uppermost individual brackets and across the board regarding business incomes. The 2002 Spending Bill also included ride-alongs that loosened restrictions that aimed to cede control of the Doraltic economy to private interests.
Simultaneous to these efforts, Dormill and Stiura also reaffirmed its commitment to RTEA and sought out agreements to ease economic barriers, efforts which would eventually bear fruit in the form of several bilateral and multilateral trade agreements across the Isles. However, the crisis would not be averted, as the sudden and severe shock the nation took would bring tensions previously left behind back to the surface.
Today the impacts have etched themselves into history, both cultural and physically, with craters being a ubiquitous feature of Balnik and the sight of a destroyed Cinnigrad being a national symbol of loss and mourning.
December 6th is regarded as holiday and day of remembrance and grieving for those that lost their lives, homes, friends, and family.

Darn it :(
Wait a minute…as I said, this one was not supposed to be Canon, but just a fun RP to let people have fun and enjoy themselves, and not having to worry about updating there nation and history.
You think I could still do it?
I'm sorry, but I have to call you out on that. I have read East lankia's comment a couple times and nowhere did I see anything that could suggest he was trying to be rude or disrespectful towards you. He seemed not to know how bold territory works and assumed that geographical closeness would make him more qualified to work with Charbagnia than you, which is a reasonable line of thought, even if it's wrong. East lankia is a promising member of our region and I see he's always trying to get involved with our RP and lorebuilding. He deserves a little bit more of respect and assistance from older players.
East lankia please don't mind how some people reacted to your idea. I'll be sanding a TG later today so we can discuss new ideas for cooperation, okay?
We did have such an event happen; think Razzgriz was overseeing the event.
As for how Altera would deal with it? Well, the SMBI project would be able intercept it to an extend. Depends on the size, speed and trajectory of said asteroid.
Strategic Missile Bulwark Initiative
An Alteran Anti-Balistic and Anti-Satellite Defence System
The Strategic Missile Bulwark Initiative (SMBI), derisively nicknamed the 'Alteran Shield', is a missile defence system
intended to protect the United Commonwealths and allied states from attack by ballistic strategic nuclear weapons
(intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles). The project was announced on
March 23, 1975, by Strategos Jamys Gawne, a vocal critic of the previous administrations proposal for the adoption
of nuclear weapons, which he described as a 'suicide pact with Aprosia and rogue states'.

- The Strategic Missile Bulwark Initiative (SMBI), also known as the Alteran Shield, is a United Commonwealth's Council for Defence Missile Defence program developed to provide missile defence against short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. The program is part of the United Commonwealths of Altera national missile defence strategy and Regional Ballistic Bulwark missile defence system.
JAMM-ER and SABIER is an expansion of the Bulwark Combat System deployed on warships, designed to intercept ballistic missiles in post-boost phase and prior to re-entry. BCS-equipped vessels can engage potential threats using the SABIER mid-course interceptors and the JAMM-ER terminal-phase interceptors. Notable subcontractors and technical experts include Alteran Aerospace, Rowlands and Verhun Defence Systems.
In addition to the maritime-based SABIER and JAMM-ER systems, the SMBI project also utilises the Rowlands Anti-Ballistic Interceptor (RABI) as it's ground-based interception system. The SMBI uses the RABI in various fixed installations throughout the region, in allied bases and overseas territories, and serves as the primary interception system for the Alteran Commonwealth; thanks to its longer range and higher success rate.
The current effort to integrate the Bulwark Combat System was begun during the mid-1980s as part of Strategos Jamys Gawne's Strategic Bulwark Initiative (SBI). The SBI's plan was initially attempting to design and develop a space-based railgun system. However, technological constraints caused the system to be transformed into a surface-based system known as the Lightweight Exo-Atmospheric Projectile (LEAP). LEAP was considered as an alternative to explosive projectiles as it was determined that concussive attacks on ballistic missiles could lead to uncontrol re-entry or premature detonation of nuclear warheads.

- As part of the SMBI initiative, a number of military bases are required across the region. To cover and protect the region from this threat, Altera would closely with allies and partners to provide this coverage. Whether through the installation of missile silos or radar stations, all partner nations of the SMBI initiative contribute to the overall effectiveness and safety of the region.
