Region: The Hole To Hide In

RP End Sieg

Silence falls over the Prussian skyline, a thick smog fills the air. The sounds of broken air raid sirens echoes like the haunting wails of the millions who died in this conflict. The flag on top Castle Hohenzollern has been cut down and burned, and the castle itself, looted dry by the locals. The age of monarchism in Baltocarpathia is well and truly, over. The Kaiserlichemarine, fleeing from the nation as the final push began to break through the last monarchist strongholds, now carries away not only the surviving royals, but the last vestige of the once great, Baltocarpathian Empire. They would embark on a perilous journey across open seas to Nemoinlanx to establish a royalist government in exile to contest the legitimacy of the new republic for the foreseeable future. Many who were not lucky enough to escape with the navy sought to escape through their own private vehicles or through secret underground tunnels previously used by the rebel forces, as they tried to escape by land. Those that could, would flee to Averius who helped support the war effort since the beginning. All across the empire, Royal estates and noble houses would be looted and their inhabitants shot in mob trials. The violence orchestrated against a people who were helpless to defend themselves had brought forth a fury that could not be controlled. Any nobles not offered sanctuary by the occupying forces would surely face death at the hands of the people they once tried to destroy. The most devastated region was on the battlefield of the Polish Republic, where desperate last holdouts of the royalist armies of Prussia and Nemoinlanx fight a war they know they cant win but they will take as many of those traitors out as possible in the process. After seemingly never ending conflict, it would seem the Polish state would be in dire need of aid once the royalist forces were finally dealt with. In Estonia and Livonia, the locals celebrated the victory with a massive parade to honor the liberators, Amberleaf and Sodor and Seljaryssk who had through careful negotiations, managed to keep the fighting away from their lands for most of the conflict, leaving the two new republics as the most prosperous in the new union. In Scythia, where the monarchy abdicated peacefully, the people enjoyed their newly gained freedoms and a mostly intact nation to boot, under the influence of Otyken and Amberleaf a Liberal Technocratic Republic would be established to best serve the wants of both parties. Ruthenia, a newly founded nation that banded together during the war, also saw catastrophic bombing from both Prussia and the former kingdom of Poland. Their economy in ruin, and infrastructure as badly damaged as Prussia’s, they would need alot of TLC to ever recover, however they did achieve their goal of becoming a legitimate state in the union, being neither Polish nor Scythian, they had sought for years to gain independence from the two competing kingdoms. The new Union found itself a burning wreck, and it would seek help from any willing to offer it. The first act of the republican government was to join the Lissandre Agreements in support of their liberators against imperialism and tyranny. They would also release all documents to the media showing the true extent of the atrocities committed by their former emperor starting with the Hundreds of thousands slaughtered, or sold into slavery to Aquitinia which has been named by the locals as, “The Kaiser-Säuberungen” or “the Kaiser’s Purges”. The new republic would seek to not be punished for the sins of their former rulers and would like to start a new course of diplomacy with not only its liberators but any who would be willing to accept

EDIT: As it makes sense; the new republic will condemn Aquitinia in the strongest possible terms short of a war declaration for the mass enslavment of Baltocarpathian civilians and would demand their immediate return to the mainland unharmed as well as significant financial compensation
