|RP¬ Foreign Efforts|
|The Swiss front 
Greater Confederation of Switzerland|
With the trade with the GSC going smoothly it is planned to expand the current trade to more sectors of the Distanic economy rather than just the primary sector, capable as it is. Plans would be drawn up to start exporting items from the other 3 sectors. First being Advanced industrial goods such as the highly capable and versatile "Wyrm" Class industrial automaton, heavy goods vehicles and Aerofreighters and the numerous brands of advanced electronics (digital goods, appliances and medical/industrial electronics) which while not cheap are of excellent quality and reliability. To combine with the export of automatons are the many services attached, such as industrial advisors, online technician and engineer teaching services and construction firms.
|The Dzeia front 
Dze Tribes|
With the planned opening of boarders to foreign states in the future, the The Binterât Parliament has voted to open boarders to the people of Dzeia. The boarder opening process will firstly permit Dzeia students to attend education within the confederacy, the second phase will occur a year later should it go smoothly and will permit workers to immigrate under work visas to work within the nation, The final phase of this boarder opening will be the permission of any Dze citizen to emigrate between nations. It is hoped that in the future this may expand to allow the opposite to occur.
|RP¬ A.R.C Efforts|
With the events in the Technate Noticed by A.R.C monitor operatives, research into equipment to combat both the dimensional attackers and the "Psychokinetic" theorised to exist in species severely effected by the rift has been accelerated to avoid the same occurrence from happening elsewhere and especially not in Distanic Soil.
The first notable breakthrough is in a form of chemical compound which when exposed to biological material, especially those of the rift entities are able to rapidly remove the little amount of moisture left in their flesh causing it to tear apart with disastrous effects on their bodies, while this is primarily intended on the rift entities it is more than able to have the same effects on other life causing plants to wither and crack and animals to drop dead, their skin resembling dried meat.
The second new item of specialist equipment is a brand new weapon not seen before in any nation in the world, The DEC-M3 Arc cannon. This novel weapon makes use of electrical arcs to inflict damage upon its targets, searing nerves and frying internals whether they are biological or electrical. While they need the use of an external supercapacitor and are notably expensive they have passed live trials and are open for field use.
The final item which is still in the design & research phase is a theoretical device capable of offering protection against attacks anomalous in nature, Future development and research will require individuals or objects able to inflict anomalous effects.
2015
Tʻoqułʻmuq would gaze at the snow-cladden mountains of the northern moors, where she had gone to travel with her recently wed husband, Muqqeł̣ul. The two had met a few years in the Alx̣ Valley, his kind and quiet spirit, nontheless avidly searching new things to see, meeting her fiery curiosity and loving soul; barely a few months passed and they would see eachother again, then once more, with increasing regularity until a year passed and her mind could not sway her thoughts away from him, and so she would go to the outside of his tent one cloudless night with a flute.
As the young lad sat around a fire on his own, for he preferred to live further away from most people, he would begin to hear a most beautiful melody, gracefully tuned and woven into his brain, enchanting him and causing him to relax, as he then slowly drifted away in a sleep, laying on the ground. He would wake up a few hours later, the fire still going strong, having been tended by someone, and his head would be on a lap, that of Tʻoqułʻmuq. She had tended to the fire before staying with him by the side of the tender flames, caressing his hair. She would be slightly surprised, but would not be able to remove the warm smile on her face as she talked to him, giggling occassionally; his confusion would be quickly silenced by her, who would use the opportunity to confess to him, having used the melody to lure him asleep and create an opportunity. He said yes.
Two years later, they would marry with the full approval of the House of Qułʻaq, with the sun and moon as witnesses and the stars as keepers of the oath. The two would then move to a hidden, ancient mountain valley in the lands of the Alx̣tsʻan Clan, where no soul had inhabited for the past five milennia, or more. Upon the centre of the valley there was a crystal clear lake, whose calm waters reflected the stars in a perfect manner, with tranquil meadows and near-silent grasses, from where they would oft travel and wonder at the marvels of their land, to then return to the serene home, to spend their days together.
It would be in one of these travels, to the northern moors, that Tʻoqułʻmuq would remember one of the travels her father took her to when she was little, when they journeyed across the confederation in the same manner she did now with her husband, the purpose of those travels, she never knew, but she would always cherish them, for she saw many a wonder and met many a good folk on such journeys. The Northern Moors, also known as the Argent Hills, were a sparsely populated, even for dze standards, land of beautiful, but harsh, winters and warm summers, akin to much of the confederation. It was here that she would make camp with Muqqeł̣ul, in the midst of a lukewarm spring, with flowering fields and ancient forests surrounding them as they reached the slopes of the hills. After placing the tent near a river leading to the open plains below, the two of them would then walk towards a mountainside, where the locals say no sunset was as beautiful as the one you could witness there; to the cliffside they walked, setting themselves up in a large boulder as the sun's arc led it to sink in the steppes and taiga of the west, and there they would stay, until the sun delved below the earth and the stars shone in the twilight.
2016
Work at hand
The Great Meeting of 2016 would, with the final judgement of the Tsotʻaan, accept the first stage of frontier relaxation, similarly so allowing those from Distan to pursue higher education in the cities of Łʻysxḿoˮniq and Ŋołtʻokeq, however the nation would staunchly refuse to let anybody outside of students and specific academics from travelling outside those cities, making the exception for those Khazdiat wishing to work or live in the port of Ŋołtʻokeq. The reasoning behind this refusal is the harsh laws regarding the migration of foreigners to the nation, something that has been in place since the nation's unification in 1906 and that its lawmakers, and rulers, have been firmly against changing.
The following is a response to the secret stuff, please read while pretending you will not know this IRP, thanks.
The Dzean section of the A.R.C. would celebrate the findings and developments made by their Distanic comrades, with testing on the DEC-M3 beginning in order to perfect the design, they would begin work as well on melee weapons that could be made to specifically counter the hellspawn from the rift, though no concrete concepts have been laid out yet, they nontheless plan to put their focus on that axis for now, seeing as the development of firearms capable of hurting the creatures has already began in a proper manner.
Having created a large network in the nation of Eldamar and retaining its position in Kuracha Kanlant, the Continental has now sought to expand a third time internationally, their objective being to reinstate the services once provided in the nation of 
Baltocarpathia, though perhaps not in Riga, with the company asking for the government's permission to build the hotel proper, whilst secretly sending the standard deal behind the scenes: we'll help you deal with crime, for a price. Of course such an offer could be turned down independently from the request to build a hotel, these specific services weren't necessarily a part of the hotel's core functions.

Ultimate Spy Games Finale
For: 
Brennus
A thousand pieces
The JCA had to undertake a logistical feat of unprecedented size and would stagger their departures over a considerable time frame, loitering in various places, restocking, and getting into their positions. They were moving into place for the long-awaited invasion of Brennus, and a substantial portion of the armed forces was dedicated to this task.
Phase 0: Declaration
After being interlocked in Brennus for a cold war and losing their UFO and Alien subject, the nation decides to go with the heavy-handed approach of levelling the country to reach its goals and obtain all the relics they want without extensive espionage.
War was declared on Archeological grounds, unorthodox but vastly important to the state of Otyken. The war had been building up well over a decade from thievery, clandestine operations, proxy wars, and low-intensity engagement. It should not come as a surprise to the international community nor Brennus, the archetypal nemesis of the Technate, whom they reasonably and honestly believe to be the final obstacle. Years of preparation have gone into this, and the cost estimates finished with all the t's crossed and I's dotted the calamity that befell the central region of Otyken expedited it into a position of now or never.
Phase 1: Diversion
The JCN will send a carrier group to assault the eastern coast of Brennus; according to our intelligence, the east side would be poor for an amphibious landing; however, this is to draw Brennian Naval and aerial assets to combat the significant threat of a CVBG, the CVBG is not expected to survive, or must return with empty magazines. The Airwing will be sent to harass and fight enemy planes and ships combined with AEW&C aircraft, ASW Helicopters and EW Helicopters. The CVBG will conduct heavy precision shelling of assets along the coast, including airfields, through the usage of missiles and aircraft assaults; guns will be utilized against coastal targets (If within range). Ships are only permitted to leave once the enemy assets have been drawn a sufficient distance away from the entry point on the western coast or if their munitions are empty. Due to the high-risk nature of the mission, the oldest carrier will be used, but will be given a supply of up-to-date planes for the task. Furthermore, older vessels will be used for the exchange to mitigate overall losses in such a high-risk combat scenario and urged to spread out effectively. The Anti-Air capabilities of the enemy may be considerable; therefore, strategic strikes against assets will need to be conducted by the destroyers or Submarines when data becomes available.
Assets:
1 x Type 002 Carrier
1 x KJ-500 AEW&C
32 x J-15EX
12 x Assorted Helicopter
7 x Type 052C Destroyers
4 x Type 054A Frigates
2 x Type 093 Nuclear Attack Submarines
1 Type 901 Supply Ship
Phase 1.5 Diversion Wild Card
The supply ship will have minimal actual supplies; instead, it will be loaded with a myriad of Combat UUVs to dump into the water and send at the Brennian fleet as a surprise attack; additionally, container launch mechanisms will deploy 10 Aerial Refueling bots to keep the planes in the air longer the vessel will have an assortment of decoy abilities, particularly with container launched vehicles to give the impression of a more extensive aerial force of 90+ planes. As the diversion takes hold, a surprise aerial group will have been ferried in from an immense distance to join the attack; this surprise group will consist of:
5 x H-10 Bombers (Rotary ASM)
4 x J-16 (EW/AA Loadout)
5 x J-20 Fighters (AA Loadout)
1 x KJ-500 AEW&C
?? x Tankers (Won't enter combat zone)
The surprise group is urged to release heavy damage against naval assets and delay the enemy fighters from hitting the carrier by enemy means necessary. The Long Range Strike group will not enter into the enemy territory. The J-16 arrival will further enhance EW capabilities, and thus, they are to remain alive as long as possible. The Long Range Group Tankers will launch a trio of HAPS ballistic missiles to mitigate the effects of the fog of war and provide high-level intelligence for up to a week according to the lifespan of the Atmospheric Satellites; one will be over open ocean in the south-west (Where the first battle will commence), the others will be suspended over the southern and eastern coast of Brennus, this model will provide high-speed real-time communication, continuous surveillance, and radar monitoring.
During these exchanges, the primary force will move into position for the wider amphibious landing on the western coast.
Special Clauses
Exit Strategy: If the plan fails, operatives will have plenty of open ocean from which to make their escape, but they will have cover provided for them by fresh Destroyers which will be able to shoot down any aircraft giving chase with a potent SAM loadout the destroyers will come from the primary surface combatants figures:
5 x Type 055 Destroyers
If the carrier is destroyed too quickly, the remaining vessels are to link up with the destroyers covering the exit and move towards the incoming main invasion force and hit the enemy from the side during their movements to the west coast. Should this scenario occur, there is a high risk of Air Strikes causing damage; a group will be prepared to clear them off upon arrival in the leading group's operational range.
Secondary Objectives: During this operation, we may encounter enemy carrier(s); Destroyers are encouraged to empty their magazines to bring down carriers with bold and risky salvos. Aircraft must relay any intelligence gathered so that whether the enemy force has taken the bait or not will be known. If the enemy flees the battle zone, only submarines are permitted to undertake a pursuit.
Contingency: Should the primary force be detected exceptionally early and the diversion fails wholly, the CVBG will continue their advance and attack the enemy from multiple directions and the back line destroyers will shift stance to conduct strategic strikes against coastal assets and provide intelligence monitoring. A clear exit will be made available for Brennian forces to leave the battlezone and reach the open ocean; home assets will be on standby in the unlikely scenario that they attempt a retaliatory suicide with no backup. Should the plan only partially succeed or the enemy hesitates, the carrier will advance and conduct unrestricted warfare against aerial and naval assets.
ROE: No other nations within the battlezone should be present, and interfering with the operation, they will be warned once and, if they do not break, shall be considered enemies and are to be terminated with extreme prejudice and disregarded.

The Human, Sprite, Mothian Hybrid, and Ant populations rose sharply within 5 years, boosting the overall productivity and manpower of the Swiss Confederacy. From 2012 to 2015, their eighth digits transformed to nine; they’ve achieved their 100 million mark with their humans, jaru mothians, sweizzer faeries, gullblat sprites, and their new influx of amberleaf ants. But with greater numbers, the insatiable demand for resources and services followed behind. THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND BUSINESS HUB COMPLEXES DOTTED THE SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND REGIONS AS INVESTMENTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT SKYROCKETED. THE INFLUX OF TRAINED AND HARDWORKING ANTS THOROUGHLY BOOSTED THE OVERALL SDI OF THE SWISS CONFEDERACY, GARNERING THEIR VERY OWN CANTON: THE 28TH UNDERGROUND CANTON OF UNE. The underground’s surface counterpart of ants was no slouch either. Without their major expertise in digging and building underground infrastructures, the Confederacy’s intense level of development would never have been achieved. However, additional supplies and networks were needed to keep their new settlements running for the next thousand centuries, hoping to survive through the calamities the world might bring. But at the same time, they hoped to survive and pass on their legacy, lifestyle, cultures, and traditions forward to the next generation and the next, keeping the very essence of the nation alive. From there, Swiss industries and the Swiss government convened with other moth enclaves and the Gullblat enclave for the mass imports of their latest optic fiber cables (WITHIN HUGE BULKS OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS). Deals were struck not long after with the agreement of MONTHLY IMPORT RATES OF 150K-900K TONNES (AND THEIR AGREEMENT EXTENDED TOWARDS POTENTIAL CHANGES OF NUMBERS WHENEVER NECESSARY).
(((THE NATIONWIDE MOTHNET UPGRADES TO THE SWISS CONFEDERACY’S OVERALL SETTLEMENTS)))
With their steady imports officially established, Gullblat deliveries flowed through the corridors, tunnels, and railways, into designated open warehouses. Their temporary sites transitioned into main supply hubs to distribute shipping containers all across the Swiss Confederacy and its industries. Major upgrades were conducted slowly but steadily; in the year 2020, next-generation mothnet optic fiber cables were expected to be laid out all over sovereign GCS territories and urban centers.
Specialized rubber coatings were added to protect cable lines from natural and malicious attempts; responsive internet connections proved pivotal for maintaining their growing economy. The SIX ALPINE ORGANIZATIONS WORKED THOROUGHLY TOGETHER TO SAFEGUARD THEIR VITAL LIFELINES, INCLUDING OTHER FORMS OF ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURES THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 
Candainian Sprites convened with their Swiss Sprite counterparts; their renewed joint projects emphasized next-generation cybersecurity programs in unison with the fast-paced development of optic fiber cables. Their fragile cyberspace was among the many battlefields they faced and still lacked sufficient defense, especially when the world had finally entered the information age.
(((MOTHNET FIBER OPTIC UPGRADES AND THEIR MONTHLY SUPPLY FOR THE ELEB RESEARCH BUNKERS)))
CLASSIFIED NUMBERS OF EBEL RESEARCH BUNKERS, and their insatiable appetite for processing speeds, hunger for more to power their vast arrays of secret projects. Deeper depths of cable lines required thicker layers of rubber against the environment and other external factors, which the alpine region preemptively gave their best efforts to secure. For ease of maintenance and access to vital pipelines and infrastructures to the buried research settlements, Swiss Mothian, Ant, and Sprite engineers constructed tunnels to contain their vital sewages, aqueducts, cable lines, powerlines, and many others. ELEB PROJECTS ALTOGETHER GARNERED MONTHLY RATES OF 500K TONNES PER MONTH, IMPORTING DIRECTLY FROM THE GULLBLAT AND OVERSEAS ENCLAVES WITH THE LOGISTICAL SUPPORT OF THEIR OPEN WAREHOUSES. Swiss and Gullblat transportation industries clocked overtime during their long hauls, thoroughly boosting employment and business around the region. With additional shipping coming overseas from other enclaves, northern countries benefited from their burgeoning optic fiber trades. Container ships (AND OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION) passed through busy lanes within the straits and islands of 
Otyken, Dzeia (Dze Tribes), [nation]Naacal, 
The Distanic Confederacy, and 
Ryuvir, adding revenue to their coffers. Deep water ports in Naacal housed massive bulks of shipping, inbound for the ELEB RESEARCH BUNKERS. Naacali engineers and maintenance crews tirelessly vetted the Swiss container ships, checking for any faults lingering within the engine compartment and the structural integrity of their hulls. Some damage, caused by turbulent waters, was repaired. Although reports of destructive rifts intensified the mood of the Naacalis and the Swiss merchant fleet alike. Careful voyage rummaged through the minds of the captains and the entire crew; they needed to be more alert than ever for such interdimensional threats. Nevertheless, they trudged forward despite their heavy doubts and worries.
The first 500K tonnes were successfully delivered through the northern corridors and into the greater Rhine River. With the Confederacy's railways and trucks prepared for full swing, they seamlessly took over the rest of the haul. Metropolitan cities of Bern, Lucerne, Fribourg, Rubezahl, Une (
Amberleaf C;), and Jaruun contributed their efforts, becoming central logistical hubs for their new supply chains. The Jaruun OPEN WAREHOUSE SITES provided a stable flow of supplies to their communities and UNDISCLOSED ELEB RESEARCH BUNKERS, where their staff handled shipments. As for the rest of open warehouses, equivalent operations, conducted by Jaruun, were met with high regard as faster internet speeds steadily materialized.
(((OPEN WAREHOUSE SITES)))
The massive and long haul abhorrently left warehousing unprepared. With their current state of warehouses unable to house everything, governing, engineering, and architectural bodies proposed temporary, portable storage sites, primarily for safekeeping SOCEF CONTAINER BULKS. Logistics, from Gullblat, acquired contracts for their invaluable services. From there, Swiss engineering and architectural firms proposed several configurations for their supposed, OPEN WAREHOUSE SITE PROJECTS; then ending with one winner. The design simply boasted strong steel foundations to house stacks of shipping containers within small areas. Each tower of shipping containers was shoved next to each other, and portable cranes, similar to those used on deep water ports, meticulously condensed each zone. Portable steel frames were used, as well, to firmly hold large, heavy containers from all impeding forces (TO SOME EXTENT). Laminated and thick plastic coverings covered the sites as a more cost-effective solution, being lightweight, cheap, versatile, and easier to handle. Additional steel frames were added to each section of the site; their structural dampings were paramount to protect them from strong earthquakes.

Time went on, yet chaos and suffering were never stamped out. These unfortunate events were natural; the undying will of self-defense proved a nation’s true survival. Those words were said by the current Swiss Defence Minister, relaying the fall of the world’s dominoes. Recent programs were spearheaded with Brennus, amounting to their purchase of foreign-made missiles and their significant progress towards the overall domestic development of Swiss missile systems. The advent of cargo-launched missiles paved the way for Swiss military transports to join in the fray of battle, deploying their lethal ordnance from afar. Advancements in weaponry outpaced their own, so the Great Swiss Confederacy must push forward to their rampant militarization. Heavy investments poured from the government and into their secret research bunkers. JOINT COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN THE RAZGRIZ BRANCH, THE NINE EXP RESEARCH DIVISIONS, AND THE ELEB RESEARCH BUNKERS gave their share of investments and manpower, overly eager to see what they could create to protect their sovereignty and freedom. Thus with the increase of revenue from past investment motions, the Federal Government convened 2 hours after their first meeting; they've set forth another wave of investment motions, this time, to support their growing arms industries. The Swiss Aerow Corporation, ATMES, and SWEIZZER AEGIS were among the many. Long-range strike capabilities necessitated for fights against peer nations, or, in the best case scenario, deterrence against future conflicts on GCS soil.
(((ATMES CRUISE MISSILE PROJECTS: PROJECT ASTRAL)))
Barrages of missiles were another integral part of the Swiss Confederacy’s strategy. Compounded with additional firepower from bomb traps and artillery, hellfire from the skies was needed to stop invasions dead on their tracks. But low-cost alternatives to strike fighters were necessities to power their new strategy and military doctrines. ATMES STEPPED FORWARD FOR THEIR INITIATIVE. Project Astral, thus, came to fruition. Details of the project remained obscure; it was considered one of their top secret projects, known only to RAZGRIZ and ELEB staff. However, rumors spread amongst the crowd, saying that Astral was involved in the development of smaller hypersonics. Smaller hypersonics could, thus, be fitted inside their fleet of transports, becoming an important asset for precision strikes and anti-ship operations. Although the organization never gave any confirming statements to those rumors, they were, in fact, the concrete truth.
ASTRAL, not only, reviewed the development of hypersonic missiles (BOTH CRUISE AND BALLISTIC), but they also researched efficient launch vehicles. SSTOs were another one of their joint projects, collaborating with the rest of the Missile Warhead Design group (RAZGRIZ, ELEB, ATMES, AEROW, AND OTHERS). But their attention was solely focused on missiles, for the time being.
(((HYPERSONICS)))
THE HSLV PROJECTS, spearheaded by Swiss Aerow, gained considerable funding and progress for their bid to create anti-ship missiles. Their golden egg came in the form of hypersonic warheads. Pre-emptive strikes always needed faster platforms to deliver their ordnance with, and their notable HYPS LVs were the key to unlocking the Swiss military’s full potential. The backbone of their missile projects was their intermediate ballistic missiles and anti-ballistic missile systems. Over five months, several prototypes were built with modular warheads to fit any. Chemical warheads were heavily considered, by the top brass. Therefore, they committed to these controversial deeds for the sake of deterrence.

SRQM142 QSAM.
The need for modernization of the SWISS CONFEDERACY’S air defense prompted the Government to establish Missile Defense Programs led by Aerow Aeronautics and THE MISSILE WARHEAD DESIGN BUREAU, then developing a new type of short-range Surface-to-Air Missiles, known as the QSAMs (Quick maneuverable Surface-to-Air Missiles). The conventional missile design is added with more fuel, stabilizer fins, and sharper angling of thrust vectors, greatly improving the missile's maneuverability and fuel efficiency. The missile design would also be outfitted with better targeting systems, using both tiny, yet powerful infrared and radar guidance systems stored internally.

To bolster more technological and scientific development, within the Swiss Confederation and The Celestial Union, cutting-edge chip designs were needed. So, to get ahead with the rest of the world in cutting-edge chips, the EXP NINE RESEARCH DIVISIONS were commissioned with the rest of Union member research teams to begin their joint ventures to develop various types of chips. Competition between the rest of the West and the East had prompted Switzerland to pursue the same goals, and so with the smooth bureaucracies of the Celestial Union establishments, laboratories, and factories collaborated within both states, sharing data, equipment, and many others. Talks between GXC, GXC GMC, OTHER SWISS CHIP MANUFACTURERS, CANDAINIAN CHIP MANUFACTURERS, and the Government were done, expanding new GXC, GXC GMC branches, AND FABRICATION FACILITIES on Swiss soil. But for now, scientists worked hand in hand with their Celestial partners from diverse backgrounds, tinkering with tools, fabrication machines, and production sites. However, the government was content with the production of these future models being situated within Switzerland and the Gullblat Enclave, primarily.

One of the main architectural styles within the GCS today features the usual apartment complexes with a mix of the Swiss Chattels and Tudor style. They're known as the GCS UROHOUSE COMPLEX, and they're highly known for their U-shaped Floor Plans, featuring the main core of the apartment at the very center. THE CORE FEATURES THE MAIN ELEVATORS, ENTRY POINTS, AND EXIT POINTS LEADING TO THE GARAGE AND UNDERGROUND BUNKERS. These complexes were also subjected to the BUNKUR KULTUR LAW with Swiss Architectural and Construction firms building strengthened bunker systems and tunnels underneath. The safety of their residents from all harm was considered their strong civil right. As such, their new designs of bunkers were fitted with highly reinforced 150 inches of thick concrete walls and steel structures. Internal bracing within the concrete was implemented to mitigate damages caused by man-made and natural shockwaves. They featured similar ventilation systems that brought fresh filtered air with reserve oxygen tanks for emergency use. Thick networks of pipes were included with hatches for some degree of maintenance.
The exterior design of the UNIQUE CORE SHAPE SWISS COMPLEX MODEL varied from each design and floor plan. But they featured a similar style of Tudor designs, having kept their iconic triangular roofs at the very top. THE SWISS COMPLEX TUDOR TRANCOM TYPE DESIGNS FOR THE UROHOUSE COMPLEX usually featured multiple triangular roofing, protruding outwards from the main structure. They were called Dormers. Other dormers had smaller sections protruding out from the load-bearing walls, which usually housed the main entrance, bedroom, kitchen, and so on. The colors of the apartments also varied from dark brown, beige, white, and even mint green. Although, the typical brown, beige, and white reigned supreme, but variations of colors were taking their shape. Another one of their iconic designs was also found on their exterior walls, which consisted primarily of wood or combinations of concrete and wood. But they were almost always comprised of wood primarily as timber from the vast mountain ranges was abundant. Concrete materials were only delegated at the base of the apartments, which could be visible or not. However when they were visible, thick concrete linings stretched across the entire side of the residential facility. These were done to balance the design between affordability and durability. Concrete materials were used for the foundations underground and on the surface, and by strict housing laws, steel rebars, and rib cages were mixed with the concrete, creating a stable structure capable of withstanding almost all natural disasters. In the event of major earthquakes, the internal rebars would hold the cracked concrete together, safeguarding the material’s integrity against the colossal shockwaves. Their underground bunkers were no exception.
[b][i]The SWISS UROHOUSE COMPLEX AND THE SWISS COMPLEX MODEL TRANCOM always had three to four floors. Usually, the rooms were divided into smaller sections or expanded suites, which depended on the Floorplan and the projects themselves. Every necessity were built with spacious living rooms, master bedrooms, regular bedrooms, closets with laundry machines, kitchens, dining areas, and moderately sized balconies, for day-to-day relaxation. Depending on the project types, the interior of those rooms would be built with either straight edges or rounded edges, which both act as their important load-bearing structures. Up-to-date fire alarm systems and two ventilation shafts were integrated for each apartment with fire exits constructed at the core and sides of the entire building. Those stairs also led to the underground bunker systems in case of extremely dire emergencies; should they need it at times of natural disasters, wars, explosions, and many others.
The main structures of the complex were also geared to handle natural disasters, primarily earthquakes. There were three main anti-earthquake structures used in almost every building in the GCS in adherence to the strict building codes. They are the SEISMIC RESISTANCE STRUCTURES, VIBRATION CONTROL STRUCTURES, AND BASE ISOLATION STRUCTURE RETROFITS, WHICH WERE ALL CONDUCTED BY SWISS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING FIRMS IN TANDEM WITH SWISS ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS. The development of rigid wooden frames evolved over the centuries; today they comprise more wooden columns grouped closer together and fastened with multiple bolts all across the skeletal structure. Even though they were grouped closer and thus, offered less room for installing internal systems, the frames offered greater thickness than in length. The thicker and more rigid frames solved those issues by adding more space in the perpendicular angle. Insulating layers were still implemented within other layers of electric and piping systems, such as sheathing paper, siding, wall sheathing, and another layer of thicker stud framing. With the large majority of the outer load-bearing walls, internal supporting walls, and internal load-bearing walls framed with additional X-shaped studs, the U-shaped SWISS COMPLEXES were well protected against the rampant earthquakes, capable of withstanding magnitudes of up to 6-7.

RP: Securing the West
With recent issues arising in the Kullkistani regions, Sodorhvtisi'i trade and links particularly with Baltocarpathian regions such as Estonia and Livonia would be threatened, a concern which would only be further stoked with conflict burning in the Vesperian Union. As such, decisions would be made to limit the threat to Sodorhvtisi'i and foreign craft, and ensure that trade would be secured for the time being. As such, Type 1.44 Guided Missile Destroyers VSA Arved Ivikaasala and VSA Sveinjon Maiaasala, and Type 2.28 GMD VSA Orimamaki would be deployed to the coastal area, along with Frigates VSA Ragnar Annikasala and VSA Vaino Ellenasala. The task group would have to objective of continuing to support free trade, and ensuring that cooperative vessels would be granted secure passage on journeys south.
However, with limited armament to expend, authorization would be given to weigh the merits of supporting ships under attack, with a distinct hierarchy of shipping provided to be covered in the event of issue, in order to ensure no incidents arise. Any filings to be added to the list must be directed via Kristreyri, in order to ensure that such are appropriately filed in a timely manner.

The Commonwealth had, for a time, quite struggled with the notion of severely breaking from Kulkkistan. One of the few other countries brave enough to have cast away from monarchy, Anheldac had seen her neighbor as a crucial counterbalance in the Ardentian sphere. But times have changed, and with Anheldac's greater focus on the civility of international conduct, the nation found it impossible to ignore the happenings in Kulkkistan. Prime Minister Gadhyez has issued a call for the preservation of peace, yet simultaneously authorized increased AVAS patrols on the border. She's further thanked the support of the Sodorhvisti'i for in the event conflict does break out. The Prime Minister's mixed messaging has drawn criticism from both sides of the debate. Many think her statements didn't go far enough to affirming the nation's commitment to standing with her allies, while others still hold strong sympathies for the Kulkkistanis and believe the Commonwealth is starting to stray from its founding tenants. These drops, combined with a blatant lack of transparency in the investigations of the Red Sky and the spike in religiously motivated crimes, have pushed the Prime Minister's approval ratings to all new lows. While the midst of international crisis is no time to see sharp discontinuity in leadership, Gadhyez's cabinet may not survive to see the nation to a better day.

RP | Taste of War
Just recently a set of submarines had been sunk by Amberleaf, which were trying to deliver weaponry to 
Gartentor. It is believed there were likely equally as many submarines which had successfully evaded the Amberlevian wrath. Not too long ago, Otyken had started to militarize and occupy a set of islands in northern Sapphiriae, and it is heavily suspected those islands are used to setup deliveries for Gartentor.
The current Amber Parliament was carried by a rather unhinged sentiment, and was not to take kindly to militarization in its front yard, especially by a nation that was supplying chemical weaponry directly to be used against Amberlevian mainland. Vilight Veilchen spoke fervently of an expected altercation between Amberleaf and Otyken. Defences were setup to defend Amberleaf against any kind of intended bombardment or amphibious attack.
The Amber Ministry made secret contact with Brennus, with expectation of military cooperation against the Technate. Amberleaf would show its full support on Brennus' side of any conflict, and exclaims willing to send military support. In addition the two nations are to coordinate a strategic plan on how to engage with 
Naacal for a move in their favor. Amberleaf had already slowly been supplying and further building up its military bases in the region.
Amberleaf was in the mood for an external war.

RP | Xenophobia
Since the Gartentor War, the political climate in Amberleaf had changed drastically. Militarists seem invigorated and influential like never before, and the new Mythic party of Highland saw major success since its creation at Gartentor's reemergence. Wirkin, leader of the Militarist party Silver Thorn and Ex-Commander of the Military, has been elected Chancellor by the Parliamentary Coalition. Under her leadership Amberleaf has taken on a more assertive tone on the international sphere.
Migration into the Greater Confederation of Switzerland was mostly performed Progressives and Pacifists. With the political change of Amberleaf since the Gartentor war, into the rather Militarist sentiment, and Pacifists to be made out the scapegoat, this tendency has only strengthened. Overseas Amberlevians look rather concerned on the events on the mainland, and have often spoken from their Swiss residency, most notable Azzerie, against the way Amberleaf was reshaping itself.
The fact that Switzerland was still cooperating with Otyken as if nothing had happened did grind some gears in Azzerie. Amberlevians culturally acted very much with ideological intent, and destructive actions by a nation against an ally would always have resulted in a firm hostile response from Amberleaf. It was the strict Ingroup-Outgroup mentality. The fact that Switzerland was seemingly taking a passive role did therefore craft a conceptional barrier in the grouping of Amberleaf and Switzerland. Once Amberlevian sentiment towards Internationalism had seemed so idyllic. Both Switzerland and Baltocarpathia had not long ago seemed like the first step to make Amberleaf more world-open. But together with Baltocarpathia's seeming half-commitment towards agreements with Amberleaf, there was a seed of doubt towards international cooperation.
At home there was one party that was using the opportunity of doubt. The Conservative and Isolationist party Pearl had long suffered a decline in influence, but seems to be making a comeback. They had always been hostile to the idea of Amberleaf binding close ties with foreign nations. A spokeswomen of Pearl made a speech advocating for halting Amberleaf's reckless interaction with its supposed allies. Amberlevian commitment was, ans will never be, returned. The ideological and cultural difference made integration impossible.
Amberleaf had been labeled both Communist and Socialist by the outside words. These words long hadn't meant much for Amberleaf, but over time had been absorbed, especially in Conservative circles, to mean "us" and "our way", with Capitalism being the "foreign". Multiple times Amberleaf had been met with animosity because its Socialist culture, sometimes by supposed allies of supposed allies. Conservative Isolationist had used this to fuel suspicion of its Capitalist allies. The fact that the common Amberlevian had no idea what Capitalism exactly meant, was only a perk for fearmongering the foreign.
Pearl really tried to merge its ideology with the Mythics and Militarists, and steer the political scapegoating from the Pacifists towards the Internationalists. Militarists in general liked alliances out of strategic reasons, but the Mythics carried a sentiment of xenophobia, fueled by their supremacy ideology. In Canton Drownark, one of the hotspots for Mythic sentiment, protests were organized against migration and granting foreigners citizenship.
Opposition spoke out fiercely against the observed animosity against the outside world, claiming that attempting to isolate Amberleaf internationally was a very unwise choice of action. It would only weaken the Colony and play exactly into the hands of what Gartentor had hoped for anyway. Public sentiment seemed still mostly in favor of its international allies, but Pearl had no doubt successfully managed to take the first successful strike to fell that sentiment.

Amberleaf has hoped 
Prolekult has found its gift well. It shows readiness for further cooperation with the emerging fledgling nation. Amberleaf seeks to promote the socialist and democratic aspect of the state, and wishes to aid it in emerging itself victorious and flourishing from the war. Having started for the first time to take more importance on the Socialist aspect of its own system, Internationalists hoped to bring back some of the optimism of international cooperation by acquiring an ally more equal of values. A proposition was made to invite Prolekult into association, or perhaps even membership if things go well, of Phoenix Blossom, should the time eventually come.
RP: COCKED PISTOL
The declaration came as no surprise to anybody, but still came with significant dread and even caused a secretary to drop due to a heart attack. It had been a long time coming, the simmering rivalry between the two states already taking place on foreign and home soil alike, this was the only logical next step up the ladder, especially given the Technate and their foreign policies. Of course their declaration was bogus, going to war over archeology was childish at best, but war was war, and no matter what the reason may have been, it was happening. Though it was also a sign, the Technate was desperate and if the Republic could pull this war off, it was only a matter of time before their ideological rival shattered under their own weight.
Almost immediately the entire nation lit up in signal emissions, casting every detection type possible out into the distance, BAF AWACS aircraft were up in the air just as quickly, scrambled ahead with a number of Super Frelon squadrons for protection. These were the preliminary air assets and were exclusively meant to defend and hold the line until the rest of the Air Force could get its act together and join the fight. Assets overseas were ordered to immediately return with best speed, and though it was unlikely they would make it back in time to make a safe, uninterrupted landing, the Republic had no choice. They would need every man and piece of equipment for this most likely final fight. National Air Defense was at full power and steaming along, batteries of SAMs and ABMs preparing to go hot the second they caught even a whiff of enemy aircraft or ordinance. It was a hasty deployment but one that had been practiced likewise for a little over a decade, and now both nations' military preparations were about to be put to the ultimate test.
The enemy diversion fleet was detected a little too close for comfort to the eastern shore, and whatever assets were ready had been vectored towards a meeting engagement with the Otykenese vessels. Two frigate groups would be the first to arrive, three vessels each with one Staden Class and one Torhout class per group. Behind them came a group of Guided Missile Destroyers, and finally in the final tier was the carrier strike group scrambling its entire complement of thirty FN-250s loaded fully for A2A duty, carrying a pair of SMRAAMs and six BVRAAMs, with the exception of 4, who carry a pair of SMRAAMs for self defense, two fuel tanks, and an EW/AC-99 Electronic Warfare pod. Carrier born AWACS are being withheld due to Air Force assets already being in the area. These Makos are the first line of defense against the enemy air wing, and will not easily let Otyken slip through. On the Air Force’s side of things, a squadron of twelve B-50E tactical bombers were scrambled for an intercept on the approaching fleet, all of them burdened with six ASM-80ERs. All carry extra fuel tanks and are to fire at long range to at least make the enemy waste a few missiles.
Such a scrambled interception left little time at all for a proper, planned response and most of the hasty counterattack was based on whoever managed to get there first. With current timetables, the Sabres are expected to arrive first and will dump their missiles without emitting, as the targets are being tracked by a multitude of ground and air based systems. Fighter cover will be too slow to catch up and the flight of bombers will need to go in, release their payload and leave immediately at best speed, which to the pilots means full afterburner. This wave of missiles alone comprises of around 72 subsonic ASM-80ERs with 1000 lb UHE warheads, the range they are fired from may give the enemy more time to react, although it is hoped it will cause the group to waste ordinance, and perhaps draw away enemy fighters to more favorable combat environments. Their main targets are escorting vessels, and will do their best to drain defenses from the ships.
The Frigates are slated next to arrive by on the fly estimation, and are more or less engaging in a suicide charge to try and slow the offending ships down. While they are fully loaded in terms of their VLS cells, carrying 24 ASM-80ERs and 48 SSNMs, their advanced box launchers were not carrying their issues Hypersonics, and will thus be forced to close range and engage with far larger ships. If they last long enough or sink anything it should open up the gap to be supported by a pair of destroyer squadrons, whose main target is the carrier itself while the frigates are directed to destroy their assumed supplies at all cost, anything to shorten the amount of time they can stay in the fight. The carrier group itself cannot join the battle, as it has been deemed too important for missile defense and will spread out in anticipation of a mass strike.
RP: Worst Case
There was no official government response to the Technate’s declaration of war, no grand speech about defending the Republic and certainly no warning for the civilians of the now besieged nation. Otherwise quiet mornings were shattered by howling air raid alarms, EAS tones, and phone alerts. It was a general evacuation for anyone living on any coast in Brennus, mandatory and not up for discussion, the objective was moving as many innocents as possible inland before intercontinental or conventional weaponry started falling. Private transportation companies were hijacked under the official constitution of the Republic, stating that in a time of great crisis the National Government had the right to seize any and all private assets to contribute to the defense of the homeland. It went similarly with rail lines and airlines. Foreign citizens were urged to move inward with the populace, as it would be far too dangerous to leave now with the seas around the country being turned into a warzone. Embassy personnel were shunted from their buildings and immediately sent off to secure sites with haste, with BRMC and BNA troops flooding streets to keep order as HIGHCOM blazed over possible sites where the ground invasion may begin.
Though they were taken off guard, they were not unable to strike back entirely as the southern fleets were mobilized in a right hook maneuver to try and box the attacking eastern force in, although this was mostly an effort carried out via submarine, surface assets were mostly preoccupied watching the skies. Missile command was cleared hot immediately, and wasted no time smashing every big red button they had. The target list in Otyken was extensive, primarily aimed at ports, industry, energy, and transportation infrastructure. If they could slow the war effort down on the home front it would give the Republic more time to gather itself properly. Their latest and greatest ICBM warheads, packed with the latest in material science and 13,000 pounds of ultra-high explosive were the main weapons in this retaliatory action. Though they did not have many, and in no time at all the entire pre-war stock of 100 warheads was sailing through the deep blue towards the Technate. Other missiles would have to be brought to proper readiness levels, and would be unavailable for some time, causing many to curse their poor preparedness.

- SEHAT: 'WAR IS NOT AN OPTION'
- While tensions between Kulkkistan and our enemies are on the rise, Sehat makes it clear we do not want war.
- [ NOSHKANT • MARCH 2016 ]
- [ NOSHKANT24 ] - [sub]As tensions between Kulkkistan and a number of foreign aggressors continue to rise, President Mehdi Sehat has made Kulkkistan's stance clear: We do not want war. Kulkkistan, and our people, seek peace, however we also seek revolution. Through this, we hope to inspire the people of nations to rise up against their oppressors, rather than elements of the Kulkkistani military intervening directly.
Just hours ago, Sehat held a rather long press conference with a number of reporters from domestic news stations, all with the intent to spread reliable information to the people of Kulkkistan. Amongst these reporters, was Noshkant24 correspondent Sohrab Diba, who was close up front to where Sehat was speaking, and was able to get a number of questions in. We applaud Diba for his skillful journalism, as he was able to bring out the best in himself and President Sehat.
One of the first questions asked to President Sehat was on the status regarding Kulkkistan's relations with its extremely hostile neighbors. President Sehat made it clear that Kulkkistan would work to oppose these nations economically and diplomatically, however that war was not an option. Sehat specifically targeted a few nations in his statements, such as 
Rykensvik, after they disgracefully spit in the face of Kulkkistan by vandalizing our holy book. If Rykensvik contins on this path of aggression, Kulkkistan will not hesitate to step in and defend its integrity and beliefs in the name of Akhrah.
Sehat also vehemently condemned Baltocarpathia for instigating a series of clashes near the border that have been ongoing for a while now. He called on the Baltocarpathians to de-escalate the situation before any serious incidents occurred between both sides, while commending our brave resistance forces for their continued defense of the homeland.
Another question that had been asked by Diba regarded the status of the so-called "Akhist State". President Sehat stated that Kulkkistani forces were hard at work in their operations in order to wipe out the group. He further expanded upon the question, by stating that any groups wishing to destroy Kulkkistan from within would meet the wrath of the people, before going on to calling out a number of foreign nations for clearly sabotaging Kulkkistan from within, stating that any continued attempts at destabilizing Kulkkistan would be met with harsh responses from the Kulkkistani military.
Further on into the press conference, Sehat was asked about the situation regarding Gartentor, to which he stated that the rights of the people of Gartentor would not be trampled upon. President Sehat stated that the Amberlevian response was nothing short of a genocide against the people of Gartentor, and that their population must act together to rise up against Amberleaf before every single Gartentorian is wiped out by the illegal Amberlevian military campaign.
Just a few weeks ago, President Mehdi Sehat made a groundbreaking visit to northern Kulkkistan, where he met with several leaders of Kulkkistani-aligned resistance forces, such as Hazameh, the Ansouthis, and a number of others. There, he reassured them of his continued support for their operations against the Baltocarpathian imperialists near the border. He also stated that the level of Kulkkistani participation in these operations would significantly increase over the course of the next few months. In a faithful moment, the leaders and a group of resistance fighters also prayed together, asking Akhrah for victory in their struggle against enemy forces.
The Ansouthis, who have been targeting Baltocarpathia's sabotage vessels in recent weeks, are also set to receive increased support from the Kulkkistani government in the coming weeks.
President Sehat also visited Kulkkistani soldiers near the border, where they held a spectacular show of strength for him. He met with several commanders, where they reportedly discussed a number of pressing issues, such as the current border situation and future spending on the military. The Kulkkistani miltary is reportedly set to unveil a new set of weaponry later this year, and President Sehat allegedly inspected prototypes of these weapons during their meeting.
In a show of solidarity for victims of imperialism, President Sehat and some soldiers held a ceremony just moments before his departure back to Noshkant, where he burnt a Baltocarpathian flag just a short distance from the border. Yelling out Udonovist mottos, he threw the flag onto the floor, where his followers were permitted to rip it apart, which they did so.
In late 2004, after decades of tit-for-tat exchanges and violent skirmishes, the Kulkkistani-Baltocarpathian border would lay dormant for the first time in ages.As the Baltocarpathian Civil War evolved, and Kulkkistan was worried about larger powers directly on its borders, the militant groups ceased their attacks for a while, a long while. Even after the war came to a conclusion, and a republican government replaced a monarchy, Kulkkistan had hopes that maybe, just maybe both nations could co-exist without violence. And for a while, that was true, as the border lay largely dormant and both sides minded their own business. While Kulkkistan was focused on developing domestically, leadership under Ali Tarrokh softened, and the previously extremist nature of the government seemed to wane for a bit. Of course, there was the occassional incident that would be reported on local news stations: "Two Baltocarpathian soldeirs injured in border fighting" - "Gunfire reported following short clash near border". Other than that, however, things had significantly calmed down, with Supreme Leader Tarrokh even going as far as to say that Baltocarpathia and Kulkkistan weren't hostile to each other in 2009. Nonetheless, things would quickly change.
First the Noshkant bombings stuck Kulkkistan, and the Kulkkistani government, military, and people, began to once again become suspicious of their somewhat-peaceful relations with Baltocarpathia. However, both sides were willing to cooperate on the issue of the Akhist State, a group which, at the time, Kulkkistan believed posed more of a threat to Noshkant than any foreigners. But then, just a week later, Supreme Leader Tarrokh's death would be announced, and opinion within Kulkkistan would completely switch up. Kulkkistani military forces would begin kicking out any foreigners who had been cooperating with them on the issue of the Akhist State, such as Rykensvik. Then, just moments after, President Sehat publicly accused a number of nations for allegedly ordering the Noshkant bombings and the death of Tarrokh, which was the final straw. This caused a complete switch-up, as a number of nations chose to publicly condemn Kulkkistan and cut all ties with the government in Noshkant. It was after this, that President Sehat would greenlight full-scale attacks on the Baltocarpathian border, attacks on a level not seen since 2004.
On 3 September, 2014, early in the morning, for the first time in about a decade, an armored truck near the border, belonging to Hazameh, would launch a trio of missiles towards Baltocarpathia, aimed at nowhere in particular, only to cause damage and signal the Baltocarpathians that border clashes were resuming after years of a pause. The missiles would be launched towards a settlement directly north of the border, as civilians would presumably receive alerts from the Baltocarpathian government to take shelter. However, before the missiles could do anything serious, they would be shot down by Baltocarpathian air defense systems, and the only damage caused would be by debris falling from the remains of the missile. Although a small attack compared to others, it was huge in symbolizing that the militants were ready to begin clashing with Baltocarpathian border forces once again, which they would do.
In the following months, attacks would continue, and increase in both number and intensity, with continued sporadic missile and drone attacks against Baltocarpathia near the border. In rare occassions, militants would infiltrate the border for short periods of time, aiming to cause disturbances at the border. While Kulkkistan stated that they were not involved in the attacks, it was clear as day that they were supporting Hazameh. Most of the weaponry that had been sent to Kulkkistan from Otyken would be kept in Kulkkistan's stockpiles, just in case of an emergency. However, the few missiles and drones that weren't were handed over Hazameh, so that they could cause chaos near the border as they wished to do. Even as other nations, such as the Greater Confederation of Switzerland, began their own deployments to the area to deter the militants, attacks continued. Soon enough, other militant groups would join in on the fun.
The Akhist Resistance, another group heavily aligned with Hazameh and the Kulkkistani government, would also begin clashing with Baltocarpathian border forces. As they didn't have access to a wide variety of weaponry like Hazameh, they were forced to engage in gunfights with border forces instead. The Front for the Liberation of the North, a group founded by Baltocarpathian exiles with the support of the Kulkkistani military, was also given a large variety of weaponry. For them, border incursions would be much more common, as they aimed to directly attack Baltocarpathia from within. Taro-Ulaban, a feared group along the border due to their unconventional tactics, would also shortly restart their attacks against Baltocarpthian security forces. Their attacks, however, were much different in nature, as they resembled literal terrorist attacks, with attempted car and suicide bombings near border checkpoints, which rarely caused any fatalities on the Baltocarpathian side, however did cause fears due to a potential larger terrorist-style attack. Other groups, such as the Udonovi Movement, the Fighters of the Revolution, the Socialist Revolutionary Party of Kulkkistan, and even the Yellow Front would all contribute to the expansion of these attacks, with clashes ranging from regular gunfights to minor terror attacks near the border.
However, no other group would cause as much mayhem as the so-called "Ansouthis". Unlike the numerous other groups, who had concentrated their efforts in order to attack the Baltocarpathian border regions, the Ansouthis had developed a much more costly and risky strategy, which was attacking international shipping going near Baltocarpathian and Kulkkistani waters. Using weaponry such as missiles, drones, and even speedboats which were used in the attempted hijacking of some cargo ships, their efforts were aimed at disrupting regional trade between Kulkkistan's enemies. And at first, it succeeded for a while, with cargo ships being forced to change routes as attacks against international shipping continued for months. Alongside this, tensions between Kulkkistan and a number of enemy states continued to rise due to the constant attacks.
As the Ansouthi attacks continued, the militant group's leadership received word of a foreign naval deployment by Sodor and Seljaryssk, the first of its kind, in order to deter against continued attacks against international shipping. To this, the group's chief commander, Faroud Mahelmeni, fiercely stated that the Ansouthis would not hesitate to attack their naval assets if they retaliated against the Ansouthi attacks. Such had been the case with the Baltocarpathian Navy, who had also been attempting to respond to the continued attacks.
With international opinion turning against Gartentor following the bloody attacks that had unfolded within Amberleaf, Kulkkistan now found itself in a better opportunity to support Gartentor. Kulkkistani leadership and state media pushed for a narrative that claimed that the attacks were an act of resistance against Amberleaf, with Noshkant stating that it would fully support the Gartentorian population in their efforts.
Furthermore, in a covert message from Kulkkistani intelligence, there would be an offer to send military equipment and money to Gartentor's military branch in order to ensure a victory against Amberleaf. Although Gartentor was under a total blockade, Kulkkistani leadership had the perceived idea that they could sneak aid into Gartentor one way or another.

“How.. could it be worse?” He looked her right in the eyes
“The assassins weren’t only captured on video. One of them was arrested alive by the military authorities of Kulkkistan.” She gulped
“You’re dismissed private.” He waved her out the door and she left. He then closed the door behind her. He took a deep breath in and then out before speaking into his radio.
“Men, we have a serious problem on our hands. Bring in the cleaning assets as soon as possible. That idiot went and got captured ALIVE! Who knows what beans he will spill. Contain this, now!” He sat down in defeat, “atleast they got their target..” he said as he put a cigar to his lips
RP: Ocean Dragon II
The Diversion fleet moved into position, the Long Range Strike group was on schedule and closing in, and the five destroyers were ready to cover the getaway if they lived long enough for that. They would first detect Brennian frigates on their surface search; Otyken had their AEW&C circling above with some fighters accompanying it; they had not had a scenario like this in over a decade: being face to face with an advanced threat in a do-or-die situation, they would have to empty their magazines and not hesitate for a moment. The frigates numbered six about a hundred kilometres away, a comparable force they would not see visually.
VLS silos would open and begin launching missiles in quick succession, about once every 3 seconds, a cocktail of various Anti-Ship missiles and cruise missiles with SAM missiles and CIWS ready for the response. The air was hazed with rocket exhaust as the torches lifted into the sky, heading for the myriad of Brennian targets; before long, retaliation appeared on the radar... The Carrier was busy launching more planes into the sky; the carrier, for the moment, still had a potent screen of warships during the opening missile exchanges and wasn't too fearful at the moment, eventually, the air wing was all in the sky and ready for action including the helicopters launched from various positions to provide ASW coverage.
Over the ocean dozens of detonations would occur from surface to Air missiles intercepting anti ship missiles and near constant streams of CIWS burning some up as alarms blared, the destroyers had also launched missiles at strategic targets on the coast, but the frigates only focused on air defence and retaliation. Some missiles would get past the dense blanket of defences and damage cruises, but the Brennian's scored a decisive hit on one of the destroyers, it's magazine blew and the ship turned into a huge fireball of rocket fuel and surviving crew where jumping overboard as the ship became a torch.
In-bound another trio of Brennian destroyers would be detected, the missiles continued to be exchanged in rapid at prodigious quantity. Otyken struck and destroyed a Brennian frigate with two Anti-Ship missiles making it past air defence and impacting in quick succession, the Brennian ship didn't detonate, but burned and foundered soon after. The arriving Brennian destroyers also did launche when further back, presumably hunting for the big fish; Otyken assumed the Brennians thought they were shooting at a large cruiser, drone mother ship, or small carrier but in reality it was the supply ship, the crew of the supply ship were dumping UUVs into the water and launching automated refueling drones when they seen missiles inbound and the supply ship was struck hard, though not destroyed yet it was fighting deadly fires. The Carrier CIWS and Rolling Airframe Missiles also intercepted some incoming projectiles from the Brennian destroyers during that time.
And the final adversary a carrier strike group would arrive to join the battle, the Otykenese aircraft were given the greenlight to engage, the Brennian's already had planes in the sky several dozen modern aircraft engaged in a high stakes and deadly aerial battle while two carrier groups tossed missiles at one another, the skies were treacherous as CIWS streaked the sky, missiles and shrapnel flew freely and Surface to Air Missiles an ever present threat. Otyken got really close to some of the Brennian frigate planes torn up by bullets or hit with SAM as a glide bomb salvo landed on the deck of a Brennian frigate, utterly burning it up; the Otykenese planes that did it condemned to the sea shortly after. The Brennian aircraft could detect the Aerial Refuel drones the supply ship was launching and, in a daring move, struck the vessel with air-launched anti-ship missiles, finishing the vessel off for good after it had been wounded previously. The air battle was chaotic and rapid as numerous planes would smash one another with missiles.
One Brennian Frigate was hit during the persistent missile exchange and burning; it coordinated with some of the pilots to clear a path and surged forward, providing cover it's CIWS and RAM to intercept threats to the aircraft overhead, which included bombers and escorts, headed for the Otykenese carrier, a horde of aircraft moved in to intercept leading to an intense exchange. Still, the frigate successfully stopped numerous missiles that would have condemned the bombers, and from rotary launchers, a dizzying quantity of missiles was surging at the Otykenese carrier. Too late to intercept. The missiles connected and blew gaping holes into the carrier's side, which was taking on water rapidly. It was unable to be saved. The carrier was condemned to the sea, and its crew had nowhere to go. The Captain of the Otyken CV knew his job had been completed and this would take significant heat off the amphibious landing, but they paid the ultimate price. The Brennian frigate got hit by Otykense bombs as the carrier killer group was forced to break away as they were in the kill box and the frigate would burn in glory.
As the battle seemingly neared its conclusion, a group of fighters and bombers from who knows where showed up at an odd angle to take the Brennian's off guard, it was a daring strike, a dagger to the heart, so to speak, as the bombers would open their bays when in range and begin launching Anti-Ship missiles at the screen and carrier EW aircraft scrambling and escorts moving in, the missiles managed to connect with a destroyer and it was finished off by planes, a missile made it past the screen by luck and hit the Brennian carrier, damaging the flight deck, but it would live. The surprise group caught itself in a dangerous situation and was ultimately dispatched of quickly; during that time, though, the various Otykenese forces managed to get off many launches into coastal and inland targets and began their retreat as ammunition was low. They had lost the carrier, the planes had their deaths signed and were to bring as many down as they could.
The Nuclear attack submarine loomed, looking to hit the Carrier, but no opportunity presented itself, and the number of Brennian frigates nearby made its presence and the UUVs ultimately inconsequential. The five destroyers dissuaded a pursuit, and with fresh magazines, they harassed the exhausted Brennian ships with cruise missiles.
The Otykense had lost their carrier and ultimately retreated from the battle zone after inflicting extensive damage. Brennian assets had been pulled east to an extent.

RP: StarWars
Otyken had an early warning for ballistic missile threats; they expected this after all as they initiated the conflict. They counted 100 intercontinental ballistic inbound missiles. The Continental Defence force at the ready had a meeting to discuss something grim about which targets they would intercept and which they would leave; the purpose was to let some that would cause the most carnage conveniently slip past even densely packed areas.
Alerts would go off in the areas they wanted clear by phone, alarm, and air raid sirens based on the predicted path of the missiles, which may have MIRV/MARV payloads. Anti-Ballistic Missile weapons were launched as multiple branches of the JCA coordinated to meet the threat; in a dazzling yet grim display of human ingenuity, the two states would clash in the fringes of space with their missile systems, some exploding over the sea or 'just in time' and visible from various places on the ground, many would slip past the dense Technate defences and connect with power stations sending showers of sparks and mass blackouts, or earth-shaking explosions from military assets being hit and several derailments, emergency services surged to the scenes of the destruction. The missiles the Technate decided to avoid intercepting would also surge downwards like meteors, causing people to fleet in terror as they had not been warned, spurring car accidents and eventually impact; this was a busy airport they neglected to evacuate and also had a fuel delivery that same day the explosion and carnage was immense and filmed as much as possible for their propaganda machine.
The state controlled the narratives, citing that Brennus had attacked first. This was obviously false, but many would start to believe if enough people repeated it. Gruesome footage was always accompanied by this on every news outlet to stoke outrage and get the nation on board for a war they didn't truly need to wage. The numbers would come in; about 50-55% of the missiles had been intercepted; the damage was thus significant and made the populace aware of what was happening.
RP: Operation Fox
With planning complete, the AAS has initiated Operation Fox, intended to finally defeat the ongoing rebellion. Across the Federation, intense bombing and shelling has begun at known bases, as the African Ghost Detachment raid dozens of locations simultaneously alongside the assistance of special forces from Baltocarpathia. Top government and military officials sit in a war room as they await reports on the ongoing fight.
Alongside this, the African Navy's guided missile patrol ships have begun to launch missile at rebel bases close to shores.
da heck da school thingy doin
The Novayan Commonwealth was in a state of hysteria when an entire school district appeared suddenly appeared, located near New Agusan. Investigating the undesirably large island, it was administered by a "Tea Party" composed of three girls from three different student parties which were religiously-named after the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Also, the name of this school was Trinity General School, formed from the various academies, schools and factions a few centuries ago. The inhabitants of Trinity had different kinds of halos, and some have animal ears or even angel wings.
Also, the students of Trinity were armed to the teeth. Despite this, an agreement was made between the Tea Party and the Federal Government: in exchange for agreeing to be part of the Novayan Commonwealth, Trinity General School was to be made a federal administrative district, operating autonomously of Novayan governmental and political authority. Despite this, special provisions has been made:
I. The deployment of military forces to impose martial law should uncontrolled violence in the streets occur;
II. The implementation of new federal policies, which allowed the Tea Party to decide if they should implement the new federal policies and acts to the latter or go for a more liberal interpretation of said policies;
III. The deployment of police officers and in some cases military personnel appointed by and in cooperation with the Justice Realization Committee/Justice Task Force and Trinity Vigilante Crew;
IV. Scheduled meetings between members of the Federal Government and Tea Party on matters pertaining to socioeconomics and politics;
V. The appointment of teachers on a case-by-case basis;
VI. The bimonthly implementation of a region-level consensus using a multi-stage sampling technique;
VII. The appointment of a de jure district-level civil-military governor advised, directed and regulated by and/or, if corrupt or incapacitated, replaced at the request of the Tea Party to the Federal Government;
VIII. The implementation of strict regulations of any and all weapons and other military equipment;
IX. The appointment of therapists and psychiatrists on a case-by-case basis;
X. The temporary handover of governmental authority to the Federal Government in response to any of the following: riots, earthquakes, tsunamis, acts of terrorism, or any harmful events;
XI. The deployment of a military task force assigned with the mission of ensuring the safety of the District of Kivotos.
Additional provisions would be made should time permits.

RP: COCKED PISTOL II
The opening engagement of the war was inconclusive to many. While the carrier, supply ship and several escorts had been sent to the bottom of the ocean, the Frigates charge had gone predictably poorly. Fifty percent of the six vessel battleline had been sunk by AShMs, Aircraft or both along with a destroyer who got caught up in the air battle. To add insult to injury, four B-50Es, two patrolling Super Frelons, and a full TWO THIRDS of CAN-002’s Mako wing were lost in the engagement, though the enemy paid for it by losing every single aircraft on board the now artificial reef that was the Type-002. Rescue efforts were well underway as were the casualty counts, grim business that was only bound to get grimmer, especially to the crews of the RM-27J Pelican floatplanes partaking in much of the rescue. Since the combat zone was now clear enough, civilians with sufficiently large vessels were encouraged to take part in rescue efforts, especially those who were for any reason unable to enlist in the armed forces. Every and any hand would be needed soon, for the Republic, for their home. Brennus could not sustain casualty rates like this for future engagements, and needed to start putting out more than what they took in. The retreating Otykense forces had their backs turned and were fleeing somewhere back south in an attempt to leave the battle zone. SEACOM-SOUTH was explicitly devoted to not allowing this to happen and was devoting a number of resources to the task. CSG 3 would detach its Arquenay Class cruiser, escorted by a destroyer squadron and a frigate in the area. These naval assets will follow up after a ASBM strike from a TEL launcher coastal defense site and a missile run from two Backsword strategic bombers. Their primary targets are the destroyers, hoping to cripple Otyken’s large surface combatant presence to achieve local superiority.
Southern Chasing Engagement:
- 1x Cruiser
- 3x Destroyers
- 1x Frigate
- 4x ASBM (MIRV warhead, 2 per missile, 8 total)
- 2x B5M Backsword (4x ASM-120NG missiles each)
SEACOM-EAST was battered, CAN-002 had made her way back into port with a damaged flight deck and several depleted air detachments of FN-250s. She would not be back in the fight for a while, and rush orders for new aircraft from storage or even production lines were sent with all speed. Recruitment drives started, playing on the propaganda they had been crafting for well over a decade to keep a steady flow of recruits into the armed forces for future engagements. Evacuation efforts were well underway and the rest of the military was slowly mobilizing, the Technate would have been running out of time by this point if the east hadn’t been battered by missile strikes. Energy infrastructure, fuel, ammo, and transportation had all been hit and was putting a serious hamper on the eastern land forces ability to shift anywhere at all. Civilians that could not evacuate in time were privy to the sight of missiles slamming into the ground, the sky traced with interceptors and gunfire. Videos circulated around the national and international web, especially an instance where debris from a port explosion caused by a missiles targeting system going haywire and attacking a civilian freighter full of explosive chemicals and materials like fertilizer. The resulting fireball was apocalyptic and flung debris into a nearby hospital, killing several patients and nurses, and injuring many more.
On the missile forces front, warheads were being scrounged up from wherever they could be found, and new orders for new warheads had been sent out but were deemed low priority due to the defensive nature of the conflict. They had plenty of targets plus the ones they hadn’t managed to hit the last time over, so as soon as they had to capability another strike would be launched. Both nations were aware of this, and having received no counterfire from intercontinental batteries back, Brennian air defense remained on high alert as with the rest of the country, patrols on both air and sea fanning out across the Brennian coastlines.

The construction of a nuclear powerplant to replace the coal powerplant on Tartarus has been approved by the Empire. The power capacity for the new powerplant will be 1 GW. The exact location of the reactor is not publicly available information, though there is a large amount of construction in one of the undesignated areas on the island. The new reactor will allow the existing coal powerplant to be decommissioned.
RP: AEGIR COMMISSIONS (ZERO)
Froth with chaos and uncertainty, the mantle fell to one or even a few like-minded nations to do what's right and maintain peace. Requests for joint security measures went unanswered, but still optimistic, the Swiss government waited patiently. Lackluster was the Swiss navy, as priorities in funding were siphoned by the Army and Air force. But the brass realized the weakness of the Swiss Confederacy when it came to naval defense. Although their ports and shipbuilding industries were no slouches, insufficient time and funds depleted their resources to build warships fast. Reliable partners, already doing trade with the GCS, requested them directly for orders of their finest ships. Those partners were The Distanic Confederacy, The Candain Sitruuna Enclave, and the Technocracy of Otyken.
(((ORDERS FOR THE DISTANIC CONFEDERACY)))
Orders from the Swiss navy commissioned Distanic naval shipyards to build next-generation ships for both green water and blue water operations. Within the last minutes of the session, the SAF involved themselves in the direct purchases of capable Distanic AAG-24 Cataphract ground-attack aircraft. THE AEGIR COMMISSIONS commenced. Distanic and Swiss defense industries handed out sufficient contracts and funding to kick-start their grand modernization plans, boosting both economies, in the process. Orders were sent out with the following details:
4x Bucklet-class Heavy Frigates
2x Broadsword-class Destroyers
5x Light Frigates (for escort duties)
(((ORDERS FOR THE SITRUUNA DAINIAN ENCLAVE)))
The next recipient was the Candainian enclaves, specifically Sitruuna, where renowned shipbuilding industries garnered amazing talent, experience, and expertise. Reputable for building human-sized warships, the Navy turned their attentions to their fellow mothian brethren. Their orders went as follows:
1x Super Heavy Cruiser
(((REQUESTS FOR OTYKEN)))
Another request for arms was sent to Otyken with their orders changing from missiles to ships (although, if their missiles were still available, they were willing to purchase them whenever possible). Requests for cost-effective light Frigates were sent. Specific classes had yet to be accounted for. They waited for any further negotiations. However, a deal was struck firsthand with the Swiss Air Force, purchasing 10 J-35 CHENGDU MULTI ROLE FIGHTERS (USD 70 million each). Future purchases, for more planes and licenses, were considered by the top brass.

The teams were loaded up with state of the art equipment. The latest in experimental exoskeletons, full spec Mk.Vi visors, and advanced computerized carbines. With the signal given, all special forces teams converged on the sites of various strongholds throughout the island. With aural artillery support coming from the Hive ships, and expertly times attacks by our forces, the enemies fell like flies before the harbingers of death that were the Black Phoenix special forces divisions. Once power could be cut, they began tactical combat operations within each building, using their advanced technology and tactics to go room by room killing everyone not designated a target to be captured alive. Within the day, they had been secured, the resistance leaders, broken, bloodied, but still clinging to life, they were thrown down before the Federation’s officials in triumph, the expectation of course was understood by both sides, Africa owed us some favors for the years of deployment, but what mattered now, was celebrating a hard fought victory

Both physical and intellectual similarities and differences between sapient species largely contributed to their immense growth over the centuries. One of the most remarkable interspecies Union occurred late in 670 when the Swiss identity had yet to exist. The early Swiss people groups were known initially as the Proto-Celts (PROTO SWISS CELTS). From their migration in 600 BCE, the first contact between the Proto-Celts and the Gullblat Sprites took place, kickstarting their long and stable development as close allies. Within three millennia, Swiss humans and the Sprites learned and grew to work and live together in all aspects of society; essentially, they became one group. Differing lifestyles were born and festered many generations between permanent settlements and semi-nomadic lifestyles. But they earned their rights and freedoms to do so, thus generating diverse wealth from their practices.
Groups of Muspel mothian sprites and Swiss humans merged, creating two new hybrid species limited to the Enclave's one moth type. They were called the Sweizzer Faeries and the Swiss Jura Mothian Humans. Like other Swiss Gullblat sprites, these hybrid moth human species were extremely pivotal to the STRENGTHENED AND UNMITIGATED GROWTH OF THE GCS AND THE GULLBLAT ENCLAVE. Their unique abilities, size, and improvements in endurance with the changing seasons/temperatures gave them an edge over other sprites, however common, imbued, and muspel sprites were still very important for their skills and abilities. Primarily in the MASSIVE GROWTH OF THE ALPINE REGION’S SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRIES, those sprites were instrumental in their prolonged development and production of chips to feed global demands. These efforts essentially placed both nations as one of the manufacturers of semiconductors, earning their place alongside Otyken, Dzeia (the Dze Tribes),Neuerstaat, and the rest of the Candainian Enclaves. Human collaboration and support with the sprites never wavered, becoming important workers and technicians assisting within the assembly lines. Muspel, common, and imbued sprites dominated the demographics of the entire sprites, and they were one of the backbones of the country’s economy, standing equally with humans. Size (physical and population-wise) was not the concern in Swiss society but one’s morality, ethics, and attitude that determined their status.
The same virtue applied to the rest of their non-sprite and non-Swiss human minority groups. Although small distrust lingered towards foreigners, the creation of the Schengen Zone virtually and slowly eliminated that mindset from Swiss humans and sprites alike. History was not kind to them as their homelands were the origin points of old tyrannical empires. But the past was the past; they moved on. The peaceful nation of Vorstheim (
Redpeppers) was the first one to feel the Swiss’ full embrace as their economic partner and valued member of the Schengen Zone. Similar cases were present for the Baltocarpathians (and Honulite Absukians), although Balto’s varied sapient species proved to be a rising concern.
The Amberlevian (Amberleaf) ants, their male drones, and female workers were by far one of the most important in the GCS, yet also the most controversial compared to other minority groups. Their culture of integrated teamwork and work ethics gave them a notable reputation for being one the most resilient people within the Confederacy. THE MASSIVE GROWTH WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING INDUSTRIES accredited the ants; their ingenuity was unparalleled with how they built efficient burrowed homes and underground networks of pipes, cable lines, and others across Cantons. However, they had yet to grasp the full concept of capitalism and private property laws, as cases of accidental trespasses occurred due to their vastly different cultures and lifestyles. Nevertheless, the GCS welcomed them with open arms with citizenship laws lenient for a good majority of all foreign residents.

Immense sprawls of Gullblat sprite communities flourished for nearly eleven centuries with THOUSAND BILLIONS of sprite generations having lived alongside the Swiss, and only the Swiss. Almost all moth types lived their lifetimes in the Confederacy: common, imbued, muspel, greater, and at least one Celestia. Outside of the enclaves alone, THE GCS HELD THE BIGGEST SPRITE POPULATION WITHIN THE ENTIRETY OF KALRANIA COMBINED, AND THEIR POPULATION GROWTH NEVER RELENTED, WHICH THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE OVER 250 MILLION BY 2055. THE GCS WAS ALSO KNOWN FOR HAVING THE FIRST EVER MOTHIAN HUMAN HYBRIDS DURING THEIR ELEVEN CENTURIES OF COHABITATION. THE MAJORITY OF THE SWISS MUSPEL SPRITES PERMANENTLY RESIDED AND MERGED CULTURES AND LIFESTYLES WITH THEIR SWISS HUMAN PARTNERS, CREATING BOTH SUBSPECIES. THE EMERGENCE OF DISTINCT CULTURES GAVE BIRTH TO NEW BRANCHES OF CULTURES, STARTING WITH THEIR ARCHICTURE STYLES. THE JARU CRYSTALLINE COCOON AND THE JARU FAERIE ARCHITECTURE STYLES WERE THUS BORN.
The muspel and common sprites were among the most populous of all the moths, and they were one of the Confederacy’s primary workforces for their semiconductor, information tech, medical tech, and cybersecurity industries, second to the Swiss humans. Imbued sprites came in third for the most populated in the GCS; capable of little mana generation, most imbued sprites worked feverishly in their horticulture businesses and farms. Others pursued service-based jobs and manufacturing, which were far more lucrative. DAINHEIM CULTURES REMAINED PRESENT IN THE GCS WITH THE GROWTH OF SPECIALIZED HATCHING ROOMS, HATCHING CENTERS, STRENGTHENED COCOON ROOMS, STRENGTHENED COCOON STRUCTURES, AND THEIR TRADITIONAL TASKS SELECTIONS, TO WHICH THE CHOICES TO FORGE THEIR OWN PATHS WERE INCLUDED. The great intellect of the sprites paved the way with their human counterparts toward the unchallenged growth of businesses, start-ups, and corporations. Their similar ingenuity and passion further boosted both countries’ overall productivity and exports.
THE SWISS SPRITE BOROUGH OF KOBALOS
One of the two major Sprite Boroughs was the Historic and Strategic Borough of Kubalos, where much of its history had aided the region defensively, socially, and economically. Kubalos Borough was considered, to everyone in the Confederacy, as the Sprite Equivalent of Bern, the de-facto capital. The city/borough was one of the major economic and political centers within the Swiss Sprite Canton of Rübezahl, where 85% of its population were sprites from almost all mothian types. The borough alone generated OVER 120 BILLION USD GDP, while the Canton, as a whole, generated OVER 700 BILLION USD GDP. Kubalos boasted fabrication facilities, complex networks of tech industries, arms industries, and advanced research centers, just like their sister Borough of Galge on the western side of the Enclave. With the help of THE FIVE ALPINE ORGANIZATIONS, THE RUBEZHAL CANTON, AND ITS CITIES, EXPERIENCED MAJOR TRADE GROWTH OF 23% OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, making the subregion another one of the GCS’ prosperous territories. Rübezahl's sheer economic growth, industrial growth, and innovative mindset made it very close to earning the title of the FOURTH TECH CANTON (THEREBY CHANGING THE TRI TECH CANTONS INTO THE QUAT TECH CANTONS).
The Borough's population growth continued from its current 10 million (9.9 million sprites). But their numbers were expected to grow to 320 million by 2075. Kubalos offered over 5 million jobs, from low-end to high-end, and THEY WERE ESTIMATED TO GROW TO 50 MILLION IN THE NEXT DECADE. With those expected quantities, 200-400 billion USD in GDP were to be gained.
THE SWISS SPRITE BOROUGH OF GALGE
The Swiss Sprite Borough of Galge was another economic center within the Canton of Rübezahl, without their parliamentary building. The facilities, services, and talent it boasted accounted for the equivalent amount with Kubalos, which generated GDP VALUES OF OVER 105 BILLION USD. But Galge was also a major cultural hub between the Swiss and Dainhiem; both often infused together, creating brand new sub-branches. Although the majority were Swiss Gullblat sprites, THE CITY'S LARGER RESIDENTIAL, BUSINESS, AND INDUSTRIAL CENTERS HOUSED THE SWISS SPRITE SUBSPECIES: THE SWISS JARU MOTHIAN HUMANS AND THE SWISS SWEIZZER FAERIES (MORE ABOUT THEM VERY VERY SOON).
Festivities were very common, where they'd be hosted inside the city itself or within the outskirts. While both Galge and Kubalos were known for their advanced/complex economies, both boroughs also hosted incredible green spaces Infused with manmade structures and housing. The development and research of technologies and properties were inspired by the teachings of biomimicry, which drastically revolutionized their methods of urban planning for efficient use of space. The borough alone held 9 million permanent residents and Swiss citizens with FIVE MILLION BEING SWISS GULLBLAT SPRITES AND THE REMAINING FOUR MILLION BEING SWISS HUMANS, SWISS JURA MOTHIANS, AND SWISS SWEIZZER FAERIES.
THE 26TH CANTON: RÜBEZAHL
The Canton of Rübezahl was mostly sprites and sprite hybrids and was situated South of the GCS, bordering the entirety of the Gullblat Enclave. The Tessina and Berner mountain ranges flanked the north, extending their reach deep within the rugged terrain, while the rest were lush plains, forests, and rivers. THOSE MOUNTAIN RANGES AND FORESTS WERE, HOWEVER, FILLED WITH LARGE AND SMALLER SETTLEMENTS OF SPRITES. UNDERGROUND BUNKER COMPLEXES, TREEHOUSE APARTMENTS, TREEHOUSE CONDOMINIUMS (TRIDOMINIUM ARCHITECTURE STYLE), UNDERGROUND OBLISK BUNKER RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS HUBS, AND MANY OTHERS WERE AMONG THOUSANDS OF STRUCTURES USED TO HOUSE 14 MILLION SPRITES AND MOTHIAN HYBRIDS ALIKE. Regular-size housing was also present in the plains region, but less common due to the low population of humans. Despite the lack of human settlements, Rübezahl's advanced economy still punched above its weight, contributing over one-fourth of the GCS economy, single-handedly, during the 2000s. By the late 2010s, government and private investments poured into their already well-established industries, such as the aforementioned fabrication facilities, service firms, factories, and research centers. THE BERN CETI VALLEYS AND TRI TECH CANTONS EVEN EXTENDED THEIR REACH TO DEVELOP THEIR VALLEYS INTO EXCLUSIVE RESEARCH CENTERS TO DEVELOP NEW SPRITE TECHNOLOGIES AND GENETIC ENGINEERING PROJECTS. Slowly, the Canton itself began to be called another prosperous Canton with specialized R&D capabilities.
The 26th Canton was one of the oldest in the nation's history —about 1,100 years old— which became intertwined with the early Celtic Swiss and Candainian sprites of the ancient past. But through the medieval age, the Canton and its minuscule villages truly unified, improved, and prospered with Sprite cultures, innovations, and technologies. Throughout the 20th century, Rübezahl grew and declined over the years due to recent wars, depressions, and economic miracles, but beyond the 1950s gave nothing but unprecedented growth in GDP, GDP GROWTH RATES, TRADE, LIVING STANDARDS, EASE OF DOING BUSINESS, MARKET COMPETITIVENESS, AND SAPIENT DEVELOPMENT. THREE TO FOUR OF THOSE INVESTMENT MOTIONS PASSED GARNERED DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INVESTMENTS THAT COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED THE CANTON'S ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE. Sectors within Rübezahl diversified from its primary exports of agricultural and raw mineral goods towards the mass production of high-tech, luxury, semiconductors, Medtech, biomedical tech, heavy equipment, and services exports. Thus, major Swiss and Gullblat companies and services established themselves in the Rübezahl Canton, offering readily available financial, architectural, structural, civil engineering, IT engineering, technical, and advanced medical services to all races.

Questions over security in the Northern Ocean prompted the idea of unity between like-minded nations, believing security over trade routes is a great necessity. Piracy threatened global trade within even the most inhospitable and frigid regions of Kalrania, and the northern ocean was no exception. Known for its deep depths and cold temperatures, the oceanic region was a prime habitat for pirates and even submarines from foreign powers, crossing the crushing void in complete silence. Demons of Razgriz laid their hands bare, but the spirit of Kalranians remained unfettered. Fate and spirit remained strong-willed and unabated from the Swiss. These threats and dreams for a more peaceful region prompted action from the Swiss president and their federal assembly, calling to the nations of Midribbonia, 
Solingarch, Dzeia (The Dze Tribes), the Candainian enclaves of Glóavið, Owlet, Sitruuna, Vestrbjǫrg, 
Etrius, and 
Nemoinlanx. Those calls led to discussions for cooperation, primarily to combat piracy and defend any malicious attempts to destroy underwater cable lines. Proposals for possible international establishment or agreements were sent to the mentioned nations, hoping for further negotiations.
The Swiss President, Orlan, and his cabinet waited patiently for their response, yet he pondered what could and might happen… He pondered anxiously about Murphy’s law. This issue was never really addressed, nor taken very seriously, until now. There were gaps, holes even, to their security. It was only a matter of time…

“This is NZZ LIVE to broadcast you breaking news! We are currently connected with our news reporters in Amberleaf, where there appears to be a civil war brewing with great intensity. Now, broadcasting live to you with our reporter, Ellen Montia.”
Ferocious plumes of smoke rose from the earth as if titanic serpents surfaced from hell. Like any usual civil war, roars of gunfire and the whimpering of victims dominated the landscapes dotting the Gartentor borders. Yet, atrocities, like none ever seen in a while, suffocated the lands. Silence overwhelmed the Swiss reporter; air, alone, left from their shocked state. Finally, the television crew snapped them out of it.
“It’s…” They hesitated; no one blamed them though. “It's hell out here… We’ve just heard from locals around this place that the rogue canton of Gartentor had used chemical attacks against the populace of Insiga, indiscriminately killing anything or anyone inhaling the toxic fumes. There seems to be no sign of any—”
Connection lost… Connection lost… KREEEEEEKKREEEEEEKREEEEKREEEEEEEE
Screeching noises followed after the sudden disconnection. Onlookers and internet users alike gasped at the grim situation with nothing but pure fear and anguish. Many felt their powerlessness grip their minds. Reactions were met with sorrow; others were met with fury. Swiss embassy staff in Silverlore (the Amberleaf capital) voiced their inconceivable outrage at such dreadful, indiscriminate disregard for innocent, sapient life. Although their principles of neutrality tied their hands from joining this fight, their screams of displeasure were not. The Swiss embassy ultimately took the initiative for pre-emptive defense, should the conflict spill over to Silverlore, but many prayed for that manifestation to be a mere delusion. Better safe than sorry… Swiss guards armed themselves and activated their bunkers for the first signs of an attack. Radio stations underneath continuously broadcasted the events unfolding, to the Swiss government, in real time. Yet, day by day, frustrations grew and festered on the staff, the people, the government, and the president; was there nothing else they could do? Anything at all? Painful stares overtook Orlan. Controversial moves would make a quick end to his leadership, yet he cannot stand by and let this travesty pass by. He glanced back at his cabinet members, staring at the Minister of Defense. Their eyes met instantaneously and immediately knew. The MOD closed his eyes and gave a shallow nod.
“Get me the chiefs of staff. Now.”
THE RED CROSS AND THE SWISS CBRN
The entire assembly rabble roused against Orlan’s seemingly careless decision, calling his move a threat to their neutrality policies, but others argued one move wouldn’t completely dismantle its rigidity. Yet many still voiced their opposition unrelentingly. However, the rest reacted to their appalling behaviour for they had not experienced similar calamities in the past. For they, citizens of the Swiss Confederacy had not embraced unhealed trauma from their ancestors, their veterans, and their elderlies; those few rational members rose against ignorance in the assembly. Those few men, women, ants, sprites, and mothians (mothian hybrids) aptly reminded everyone of the horrors they faced and the crimes they had to commit for the sake of their survival, complacent amid terror, during both Great Wars. Should they not cease this moment to regress away from their shameful past? Should they not finally begin their efforts of redemption and finally extend their hand outwards to those in desperate need? The speaker regained balance and peace within the court. They had lived long enough secretly in the shadows, observing the world’s treachery, and their call to assist and aid those in need grew louder.
After a few days, the assembly convened together once more to vote their new motion to deliver relief aid, send the Red Cross, and activate their CBRN forces (in limited amounts with no weapons). President Orlan stood at the very center, surrounded from every angle and ready to address the crowd, and from there, he looked at everyone with impassioned determination. He gave a similar speech to the one expressed a few days before, calling this their time to showcase to the world; that they will not stand and watch peace being thrown into the fiery cinders of chaos once again. The opposition wasn’t convinced by this heroic rhetoric, but the rest supported the new motion. In the end, it was passed by a close margin of votes.
Chiefs of staff deliberated with the cabinet, agreeing to send at least two thousand CBRN personnel, thousands of decontamination equipment, gas masks, portable tents, hazmat suits, ventilators, CF scrubs, medicaments, and other necessary materials for the construction of on-site treatment and medical facilities.
Commissioned Red Cross staff cooperated with the Swiss government, preparing eight thousand personnel and over 100K METRIC TONNES of supplies to be transported to Port Porland and into the Canton of Greenside. Monthly shipments of Swiss goods were drawn up for the massive relief effort.

CALLS FOR CEASEFIRE
Messages from the Swiss Embassy and the Swiss government were sent to Gartentor delegations, in hopes of gaining contact and negotiating a ceasefire. Although hatred for the state crossed all over the entire globe, the GCS was stubborn in its attempts to potentially mediate a peace deal. However, challenges from that mediation plan loomed with intimidating pressure as history displayed unkind trauma; it gashed relations for many generations. As the representatives of the Great Swiss Confederacy, repressed emotions steeled their rational minds and formalities. They couldn't afford to hash everything out like everyone else, except the Nonadian Republic, who called for their Gartentor citizens and delegations to quell their evil plans and retake the reins.
They called upon them once more, and again, and again.

A New Nemoinlanx [again] Meta post
As it has been at least a couple of months since my last post i have decided instead of trying to scamble and continue were i left off I will just make a new nation. So coming soon to a theater near you Nemo Remastered again [at this point i am like skyrim]
RP: High-Speed Chase
War Against: Brennus
Otyken Assets Leaving Combat Zone
- 2 x Nuclear Attack Submarines
- 4 x Frigates
- 10 x Destroyers
Brennian Assets Chasing Engagement
- 1x Cruiser
- 3x Destroyers
- 1x Frigate
- 4x ASBM (MIRV warhead, 2 per missile, 8 total)
- 2x B5M Backsword (4x ASM-120NG missiles each)
After the battle of the Eastern Sea, Otyken, as per the battle parameters and the Carrier going down, began to flee as their VLS became empty; in position were the five destroyers to cover their escape, and the Nuclear Attack Submarines went into position, the enemy was bolder than anticipated and gave chase with some new reinforcements arriving. Otyken targeting capabilities went down as a Brennian fighter lodged to AAMs into the side of the vessel and sent its burning carcass into the ocean; operating helicopters were picked off one by one before the aircraft pulled off to resupply as it had been a long fight. Now, at this time, the pursuing Brennian destroyers, frigates, and cruisers would fire guns and missiles at the escaping vessels, many of which were low on munitions or empty, but even still, the sky was crisscrossed by torches and rocked by the explosion of various counters, many of the Otyken vessels had even sustained damage from being hit by guns which is unusual in the modern world.
An Otykenese frigate crew watched on the deck as the CIWS tracked a volley of ten missiles heading for their vessels. Still, no bullets left the gun, the SAM cells were completely empty and the other fleeing ships were not in a good angle to assist, the vessel was struck ten times and so utterly destroyed that nothing like this had been witnessed by their navy. But it did not end there 4 ASBM had been launched, targetting the fresher destroyers, which still had ammo, and the other vessels could be picked off by guns and cruise missiles; the exchange of gunfire and missiles was a near constant, but these ballistic missiles surged over the battlefield to dizzying heights before releasing MIRV payloads, data links intertwining to find the position on the Destroyers who had extremely limited time to react 8 total MIRVs descended on to the ships, ABMs were fired during the initial stages to limited success. CIWS released streams of bullets at the descending balls of fire, which soon, in rapid succession in time frames only comprehensible to computers, connected, blowing colossal holes through the decks of two destroyers followed by another impact, two ballistic missiles had been shot down. One mirv was heavily damaged to the point that it didn't destroy the vessel, one mirv hit the water from evasive maneuvers, and another was damaged during the descent and exploded right above the deck, roasting the surface of the ship. The operational destroyers also fled, but unfortunately for the Otykenese navy, the maneuver had two parts. With Backsword planes releasing missiles, they hit an empty frigate, which couldn't intercept them before releasing payload on the damaged destroyers, and the death count rose to 3 of the 5 destroyers.
The Brennians could soon zero in on the more empty vessels, but the situation soon went from a turkey shoot to treacherous as a frigate sonar picked up an otykenese submarine all too late; the attack submarine released a salvo of torpedoes and broke away, the frigate having her broadside torn open despite evasive maneuvers and was going down. The Brennian cruiser scored another series of hits on a frigate, which still had stocks of missiles, but was overwhelmed quickly by the vessel and caught fire. The chase was soon to end when the other submarine released torpedoes and struck a Brennian destroyer in the rear, and it was to founder and burn. After this exchange, the Brennian Navy emerged victorious but could not pursue further. The risk of submarines, no backup, and a potentially larger fleet just on the horizon was unacceptable.
Otyken Losses: x1 Frigate, x3 Destroyer
Brennian Losses: x1 Frigate, x1 Destroyer

RP: SMOKING GUN
Their chasing engagement was over, and the Brennian fleet was soon turning right back around, full steam ahead back to guard the coast. Their chasing engagement was a success, not one without losses but a success nonetheless. Three out of the five fully loaded and functional covering destroyers had been obliterated along with a frigate making for a total of four ships sent to the bottom. A great success, any hit to their surface warfare capability was considered a good thing by FLEETCOM's standards. Performance of the Arquenay class cruiser in the engagement was considered very satisfactory, its air defense capability proving formidable and its gun system scoring several severe hits on enemy vessels with the use of LRAP rounds. They had flaunted the class as one of the most dangerous surface combatants in the world for years now, and it had just been proven in battle to be as dangerous as they made it out to be, though its HVP projectiles remained untested. ASBMs proved a useful tool, and it being one of the few munition the Missile Forces did not have a severe shortage of would make them an extremely useful tool in future engagements that were no doubt to come. As such they were ordered to mobilize to full readiness at once, the conflict taking a lull as the eastern and southern battles ended. Great care was taken to hide and protect static and TEL launcher positions, it was a tool they could not afford to lose in significant numbers. Strategic bomber command was commended for its efforts in attacking the ships, and use of supersonic anti-ship missiles in conjunction with ASBM strikes was put to further study for future use cases, especially against carriers in case hypersonics were for some reason not an option. Screecheagle use was non-existent as the frigates during the eastern sea battle were not loaded with them, and the one vessel taking part in the southern meeting engagement had no targets valuable enough to use them on.
Though the fighting had been far from pretty and was not without loss. One frigate and one destroyer had been lost in the chasing engagement due to the unexpected presence of Otykenese nuclear attack subs. Of these losses one was catastrophic, the Frigate having her broadside absolutely ripped apart by a torpedo salvo which detonated one of the primary magazines and VLS cells, the resulting explosion and shockwave were nothing short of near nuclear as a massive gout of water stretched up into the atmosphere, all hands were lost, and the Republic mourns the brave servicemen and women it lost that day. The destroyer got off better, being hit several times in the rear causing catastrophic flooding which eventually sunk the ship, rescue efforts were recently completed by RM-27J crews, the entire air fleet and their crews being awarded and Aeronautical Medal, a Cross for Military Valor, and an Order of Maritime Merit instantly making them true heroes of the Republic for their invaluable efforts in saving countless lives. Civilians who participated in the rescue efforts were similarly given an Honor Medal for Courage and Devotion. It was a huge oversight on the part of local and high command, and Matha class ASW destroyers were ordered to double down on patrols in conjunction with corvette groups who were slated to begin limited mining operations around the coast. Likewise, Brennus' own submarine force was on the prowl, looking for any stragglers that had either gotten lost or decided to stick around for whatever unknown reason. Overall, these most likely preliminary engagements were all battles hard fought and hard won, which had most of everyone in the military worried, as they had no real idea where the main attack may come from, though they did have ideas. The south was a non-option, landing anywhere on the often harsh coastlines and marshes lining the area would be a suicidal move, not to mention the sheer volume of defenses concentrated around the Republics beating heart region. It left only two viable options, the West and the East, and nobody in the armed forces could seem to agree on which was more likely to be attacked, and it was quickly and inadvertently turning into a "wait and see" kind of deal. On the plus side there were no further civilian casualties reported nor had there been any additional missile strikes for the moment. This downtime was important as it allowed more innocents to be evacuated, although many were reluctant to leave their homes, and officials were often forced to use tactics that were a tad more persuasive to get people out, bad PR, but it would save lives, which was far more important. Now, with the opening two engagements of the war complete and both side collecting themselves for whatever came next, the Republic sent out a cry for condemnation across the globe, urging foreign nations to close embassies, evict Technate personnel, and impose scathing trade embargos on the state, who had now obviously shown their true colors as malicious, childish actors only interested in advancing their own drivel and ideology at the detriment of everyone else on the planet if need be.

Kulkkistan-Baltocarpathia Tension Spiking
Tensions were unnaturally high between Rykensvik and Kulkkistan already, but it was further worsened by recent actions at the Baltocarpathian border. Then came yet another announcement from their new religious fanatic of a dictator, in which they falsely blamed Rykensvik for releasing a vandalized form of their holy book. The version, now known as the “Vikan Translation Footnote Edition” or VTFE for short, was a copy obtained by the recently declassified “Operation Faith.” There was debate among Vikan scholars about whether this VTFE translation was deliberately tampered with, but it remains the only understandable version currently sold within Rykensvik.
Malevalon Creek Combined Arms Base in Baltocarpathia was continuously active following the embassy attack. Further provocations at the border ensured that leave was perpetually canceled for the fifteen thousand soldiers stationed there. Daily aerial patrols of the Balto-Kulkkish border would increase in an order of magnitude seeing more SA-60s and KF-11 Wasps performing low altitude flybys. MCCAB would also be doing weekly deployment and emergency response drills to ensure that its soldiers were ready for anything. Lansverk L142s would also be deployed to the base’s perimeter and set up for anti-missile defenses.
MCCAB would also be receiving an upgrade to its infrastructure. The Hammer of Dawn, Rykensvik’s Missile Defense System, would be brought over to provide anti-missile and anti-air coverage so that the L142s could focus on ground operations. The detection tower would be centrally located and multiple SAM batteries, roughly 6 in count, would be installed in the interior.
Continued Diplomacy
Rykensvik had a limited web of diplomatic connections and it was very scattered. The Office of Foreign Affairs would reach out to the remaining countries on the Ardent Continent to try and open up a new wave of relations.
To the leadership of the [Country listed above],
Rykensvik is expanding its diplomatic capacity and is interested in building formal diplomatic relations and opening up the opportunity for economic growth via trade and civilian travel. In person meetings (ICRP) are not required and a response declaring interest, as well as the following details, will see friendly relations.
