Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March

[bigcapitalbaka]

While unsure of your culture, we imprison and subjugate thieves in ours. You have stolen and raided from three nations now, and there is simply one lawful answer.

We are going to vassalize you through force, assuming you're not willing to consider surrender.

Romek-Inen cavalry forces continue their refill-burn-advance process, systematically applying scorched earth to the provinces they no longer occupy.

concede to defeat and surrender as a vassal to Romek-Innen.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Vlastcovites watch on as nations vassalize each other. The nation sees its army swell for the second year in a row.

The elections end, and Jarosław Mihajlovic leaves office. The new Premier is of the national party, and ran on a Vlast-first defensive platform. His name is Aurel Isaev.

[grunterdb1951]

Conservatian military engineers have developed a new firearm. It is expected to, within the next few years, go into military service; though it is not available upon the market for the time being. Further details may or may not be disclosed at a later date.

probably a machine gun

or one of the various rifle improvements


The Federal Serisian Navy begins operations to occupy Nami with a surprise attack.

Flagship - Frederick Moss - SOTL
Yehudi Maksimov - SOTL
Mordechai Reis - SOTL
5 Paladin-Class - SOTL
12 Caliburn-Class Cruisers/SOTL
1 Lighting-Class Heavy Frigate
9 Frigates
9 Sloops of War
5 Ofir-Class Transport
5 Yaron-Class Transport

20,000 troops from the Federal Serisian Army, Federal Serisian Rangers, and activated reserves.

Their objective is to occupy the capital city and neutralize Nami's fleet before it can be deployed and mitigate civilian casualties. The apparent reason for the sudden occupation is mostly due to Nami's unsatisfactory government. The Federal Serisian States hopes to institute a more reliable administration in place that will actually take messages from their neighbors.

concede to defeat and surrender as a vassal to Romek-Innen.

A wise choice, indeed.

The terms of vassalization are as follows:

Sonodine shall swear fealty to Romek-Inen.

Sonodine's state religion will become Old Norse. Christianity is to be expelled from the nation.

Sonodine's current organized military will disband.
 To fight for their nation, Sonodine citizens must become a part of a Sonodine-consolidated Romekati regiment.
Such mixed regiments will become the fighting force of Sonodine.
Under regular circumstances, these regiments are under Romekati control, but in extraordinary circumstances the dominant state may grant some command to Sonodine.

Sonodine will consider the river international waters, and allow free travel throughout it by any entity.
 With one exception. No non-Norse religious artifacts may enter the borders if they are commercial goods.

Romek-Inen will assist in suppressing the Sonodine rebellions, however common ground can be found with them.
 Sonodine will adopt Romekati foreign and internal policies.
 A free market, and no diplomatic relations with the outside world unless Romek-Inen strikes a deal.

The Sonodine economy will be integrated into Romek-Inen's economy.

Romekati nobles will be placed strategically throughout the Sonodine government to prevent thoughts of rebellion government-side.

[CypherX]

Kyrev declares neutrality.

[SWAT One]

Arcon will accept any Christian refugees.

[CypherX]

you'd give qwep a run for his money in update post size


Kyrevan colonists abandon further colonization north, as it appears to be endless desert. Basic defensive structures and minor garrisons are stationed. Instead, further colonization efforts are focused south, in between Trier and Dömitz, along the rockier ground, until their already strained supply lines force them to stop. In addition, colonists push west along south shore of the river.

just to remind as updaterino is soon

[Juncoph]

side note: refugees won't be followed by law enforcement but anyone who refuses to convert and also refuses to leave will be enslaved and shipped to romek-inen

The military, as decreed by martial law, represents the Parliament in the vassalization negotiation.
Sonodine swears fealty to the Romek-Innen.
Christian institutions are banned and their assets are liquidated and the proceeds go to Romek. Refugees are shipped on barges to Arcon.
The military of Sonodine agrees to disband.*
(can you elaborate on the 3&4th terms please)
Sonodine agrees to the regimental thing.
Sonodine accepts the rivers are international waters and agrees to the following exception.
Sonodine accepts Romek-Innen internal and foreign policy.
Agree to economical integration.
Agree to strategic noble placement.

*Following the meeting, the de-facto leader is found dead in his office along with his top subordinates. Cause of death : mostly through the mouth, some pointed upwards to the chin.

[SWAT One]

The rebels inside the Parliament building shrug.  "Well I guess that's that."

[mattsos]

Continue to colonize the Northeast.

[Juncoph]

(can you elaborate on the 3&4th terms please)

Romekati-Sonodite mixed regiments are to consist of Romekati leaders and regulars, expanded by Sonodite forces. In the scenario that the Romekati government deems it best, Sonodine would gain direct command over these mixed regiments.

The Sonodite river becomes open waters, but any foreign nation carrying non-Norse religious artifacts may only do so for personal worship. They are not to be sold or given off within Sonodine, and if they are then the offending party may be prosecuted by the state.
