Nation Name: Arkaus (Florinthus)
Government Type: Confederate Republic
Economy Type: Mostly Capitalist
Target Plot: Map: Galdresia - Orchyre
Expansion Type: Civilized
Informational Links: IC topic so far, outline of the Orchyrian factions a news article outlining the situation
Rebel RPer: Mestra has offered
When did your last Expansion end? March, 2014 (colonization)
When was your last Military Conflict? kind of had a bit part in campania
Why do you seek to expand? Because that island is facking hot and I've been lusting for it ever since I first spawned. ICly? the Orchyrians are Arkausan, and the AC wants to bring stability to Orchyre and ultimately have it join the confederation as a full member.
Plot: The Orchyrian tyrant, King Deros III, was killed by some unknown terrorists in Autumber 321. In the chaos, the military, led by General Butler, declared martial law and the country devolved into civil war. In the midst of this, several factions arose, such as a military faction and a faction supporting the daughter of the old king Deros. One of these factions, the republican faction, wants to dissolve the Orchyrian monarchy and establish a republic. The faction, led by a person who styles themselves President Raleigh Allen, contacted the AC in order to request assistance. The AC would essentially win the war for the republican faction, and then the new republic would join the Confederation as a full member state. The Arkausan government agrees, and support is given. Olaf Gunna, the Arkausan Councillar of Defense, arrives in Orchyre to survey the scene, and he finds that the republicans are not nearly as well-supported as they claimed. He also notices that the republicans are not as well equipped as the AC would have hoped. On Gunna's recommendation, the AC military mobilizes to invade the Orchyrian home islands. The plan calls first for a blockade. The Orchyrian military faction is limited in naval forces, as most of the Orchyrian navy was scuttled or destroyed during the early months of the civil war. Once the blockade is set, the AC demands the surrender from the various Orchyrian factions (one of the factions that could surrender and join the side of the AC here is the di haggia faction - see aftermath below). should none surrender, the Confederate military will begin their invasion. The islands closest to the Confederation will be taken first as their distance from the home island leaves them weak - they are taken with minimal losses, or they simply surrender initially, followed by the Orchyrian home island. General butler and his military faction is primarily based in and around the capital, Ancelsteirre, which is the primary target. It is believed that once the capital falls to republican/confederate forces, the rest of the factions will follow suit. A three pronged invasion, as explained here will be used to take the capital. The fighting is hard, and the newly formed confederate military takes moderately large losses, particularly in the final assault on Ancelstierre. Afterwards, some of the factions can surrender, or they can continue fighting, its no problem. It is in ti his crucial moment, when the republicans are nearing their triumph, that horribly incriminating evidence is found tying "president" allen and his closest associates to the assassination of the king, effectively making him and the other republican leaders terrorists. The AC turns on the republican leaders and arrests them. This is probably for the best anyway, as it /was/ a bit odd that Allen styled himself president without being elected at all, and that sort of behavior lends to the suspicion that he would've tried to be a dictator himself. With this shocking turn of events, the AC decides to rebuild the Orchyrian government, making it an Arkausan territory. Once the rebuilding process is finished, likely in 5-10 IC years, Orchyre will join the Confederation fully. This rebuilding process and the development of the Orchyrian government as a territory will be another topic I'll write up following the conclusion of this one. My thoughts on the orchyrian government is making it a constitutional monarchy, which would give the people their choice in government but still retain a powerless/symoblic monarch to maintain Orchyrian tradition. The di haggias ruled Orchyre once upon a time, and it was the Chasels (the current family) who usurped the throne (in a dirty way) in the last 100 years or something. We'll see what happens with that, especially when Mestra gets involved. I'm willing to give him room to change things if he wants. It's just a bit odd given the topic is already partway done.

Thanks a lot, yeah it's my first one (apart from minor skirmishes on the II forum) so yeah, would be happy to get some help… I can do both sides if you wish, but could be more fun if you'd get another player, although I see the schedule issues. On the same topic, how many people do you see involved in this RP?

Well, the principle players are DeSchaine, who roleplays with Taeunas, you, who will roleplay with Dolgan and/or Veldria, and I, role playing Florinthus & Galeae. Those are the major players, so far as the expansion goes, but Lomarre, who roleplayes with Lomarre, and Blacaria, who roleplay a with Austlenburg will also be participating as their nations will be merged with mine, forming the Arkausan Confederation.

So in total, right now, we have 5 participating, and if we get another player for Veldria we will have 6. This is a lot of role players :) and that should make it interesting.

Hahaha sure, I just wanted to give them a bit more initiative, and of course, we can RP it so that the clandestine move unravels and taenuas has a legitimate reason to steamroll Dulgan

OOC: I' m interested in RPing Dolgan.

IC: As the Dolgans are technologically and financially less well off than the rival Veldrians, my proud nation will soon realise after its first few battles, that it can't stand up to the might of the Veldrian forces, despite our numerical advantages. In a highly clandestine move, we sabotage Taeunas' train lines, in the hope to get them involved and give us some breathing space. Also, after losing a lot of our proudest possessions- 3 battleships, 1 aircraft carrier and 4 destroyers- in the naval battle, and several dozens of tanks and artillery pieces in the first few land battles, we will have to shift tactics and apply far more unconventional methods of fighting… scorched earth tactics, cutting supply lines, sabotage, hit and run strategies etc. in the hope that the war will be drawn out long enough for the foreign forces to end up retreating. It is very likely that, during the conquests, our capital is taken and our government is replaced by a puppet, splitting the population into loyalists and sympathisers.

I hope this rough outline of what is likely to occur and how I intend to play Dolgan has given you a good idea of whether I would be a workable rebel player.

Don't legitimatize it too much, bro-mang...or rather, don't go out of the way to do so. Rereading the plot, and taking into account national statistics, it seems like Veldria's gonna steamroll through Dolgan (and it makes sense, really, given Dolgan's smaller geographical area). Rather than conducting some crazy, wild scheme to draw the Taeunas in, why not have it go "lolnogtfo" and send forces in to 'liberate' Dolgan? Much like Flo & Co. are pulling the Culture Card, Taeunas could do similar with Dolgan...while also playing the Keeping-the-dirty-foreigners-off-our-continent Card. That card's honestly a good one.

Given how Dolgan would likely be overrun by the time Taeunas steps in (think Korean War China), it's totes possible that Dolgan would have 'no recognizable government'; having it's government go bye-bye isn't totally improbably either, given the small playing field. So...Taeunas would be invading to liberate it's little brother from foreign dominion.

Though, this leads to an interesting predicament...why exactly is the Arkausan Confederation going to invade Veldria? Is it going to go "ROOOARR!ANNEXANNEXANNEXANNEXANNEX" and imperialism all over Veldria while it's about to get its ass whooped by Taeunas? Or?

Mind, I won't object if that's the plan. It's rather not-very-good-good. :p

Actually, the way Flo and I discussed it working out was that Veld and Dol would go to war, and at some point, something would happen to royally piss off Taeunas and we'd move to roll BOTH nations, while the AC would sit up and take notice of what was going on and then deploy to try and provide a moderating alternative to my war machine.

But, I got to thinking, that really couldnt happen without some kind of agreement between me and the Confederation. Otherwise itd end up in maybe a three way war and thats just nuts. So, for Flo and the others, we're going to have to come up with some kind of regional defense and peace agreement or something to provide an "in" for all of this to work.

To be frank, it seems a little crazy for the AC to fight Veldria. Beating them down is usually the last option when considering how to stop someone...and a democratic party is probably willing to talk peace when a power stronger than it comes crashing down as retaliation/protection of its sphere.

Have you considered a diplomatic intervention? Where the AC intervenes to try to talk the Taeunans out of beating Veldria to a pulp? Or maybe it waits until they're a half-pulp. ;)

That wouldn't lead to annexing their territory, but it could lead to Veldria joining.

If Taeunas was drawn in by an actual act of war, couldn't the AC move in on their side, to punish the dictatorial leaders of Dolgan and aid in the "liberation" of its people? It could also allow for AC troops to be present as peacekeepers and human rights watch committees (Respectively their equivalent in Oracia)

Since it seems I am taking Veldria's place it changes things. I really don't want to step on anyone's toes so if anyone has a problem with anything I am very flexible.

Right now I want Orchyre to be a subordinate vassal-state to a nation (In the future perhaps Orchyre could gain independence through force or diplomacy). I think this can fit fairly well into the this roleplay. This is what I propose we do:

Orchyre controls what used to be Veldria and HS01. HS01 (or Dolgon) came into Orchyrian control after a successful invasion many years ago. After some sort of domestic crisis in Orchyre the nation's government collapses. Several Psuedo-Governments rise in the Orchyrian island that claim to be the true Orchyre. Seeing this as an opportunity to bring Orchyre under the blanket of the AC Florinthus invades using the justification that they are bringing law and order to their Arkausian brethren. However, many of the new psuedo-governments want sovereignty and 'Orchyre for the Orchyrians'. Therefore, the Orchyrian factions resist.

Meanwhile, in Dolgon, after the Orchyrian government collapses Dolgon suddenly finds itself independent and weak. Being opportunistic, Taeunas invades Dolgon. The factions in Orchyre don't mind because they are too concerned the Orchyrian islands.

In the end Taeunas conquers Dolgon. And Florinthus' coup in Orchyre is successful. Florinthus installs a friendly faction as the true government in Orchyre and Orchyre becomes a puppet-state of Florinthus.

So I have fleshed out and written brief descriptions for all of the factions in the Orchyrian Civil War. I apologize for the wall of text and if anything seems confusing. To keep in mind as you read: Orchyrian monarchs traditionally take on a gender neutral 'royal name' once they become monarch and abandon their birth name. So James Chasel is the birth name of Eshral VI and Victoria Chasel is the birth name of Deros IV.

Before the Orchyrian civil war the Kingdom of Orchyre was ruled by King Deros III, also known as the lunatic king. King Deros was corrupt, power-hungry, and crazy. His unpopular rule came to an end after his assassination.

Queen Deros IV Faction
Before the assassination of the lunatic King Deros III, Deros III named his heir and successor his bastard daughter, Victoria Chasel. However, according to the laws of Orchyrian succession the proper heir was Deros' firstborn son James Chasel. After her father's death, Victoria proclaimed herself as Queen of Orchyre citing her father choosing her as his proper successor as justification. Victoria took on her father's royal name making her Queen Deros IV. Queen Deros' supporters includes those who were fiercely loyal to the Lunatic King Deros III.

King Eshral VI Faction
The firstborn son and legal heir and successor to King Deros III was James Chasel. However, due to Deros' lunacy and abusive tendencies James and his little brother John fled from the capital and their abusive father to a remote island off the coast of Orchyre along with their mother. Angered by this King Deros disowned his two sons, divorced his wife, and named his bastard daughter, Victoria Chasel, as his heir. After King Deros' death James Chasel rose out of hiding and named himself the rightful king of Orchyre, taking on the royal name Eshral. King Eshral IV garners support from those still loyal to the Chasel family, but fear that Queen Deros IV is just as mad as her father.

The d'Haggia Faction
The d'Haggia family came to be the ruling family of Orchyre many years ago after some opportunistic royal marriages and exploitation of the Orchyrian succession laws. Although the Orchyrian people were unhappy about a foreigner ruling Orchyre the d'Haggia family ruled Orchyre for two full generations. Eventually, however, Orchyrians rose up and rebelled again the 3rd d'Haggia monarch led by the charismatic Gregory Chasel who, following the old Orchyrian traditions, took on the royal name Saciel. The coup was successful and King Saciel VIII was pronounced Sovereign of Orchyre. The survivors of the Orchyrian d'Haggia family fled to Lomarre still claiming to be the rightful ruling family of Orchyre. After the death of King Deros III and the civil disorder that followed the son of the old Orchyrian d'Haggia monarch saw an opportunity and decided to return to Orchyre to claim his throne from the usurpers. The d'Haggia Faction garners support from the small minority of Lomarrens in Orchyre and from some older Orchyrians who still remember the d'Haggia rule, or stories of the d'Haggia rule, with fond memories.

The Republican Faction
Many of the Orchyrian people have been turned off to the idea of monarchs after the terrible rule of King Deros III. The Republican Faction seeks to make Orchyre a democratic republic ruled by the people. Many believe that it was an assassin sent by the Republican Faction to kill King Deros III. The Republican Faction is led by the charismatic Raleigh Allen who claims to be President of Orchyre. The Republican Faction gets support from the lowborn citizens of Orchyre who were negatively affected by the Lunatic King's rule.


The Military Faction
After the death of King Deros III the military, led by General Christopher Butler, attempted to install martial law in Orchyre's capital of Ancelstierre. Those loyal to Queen Deros IV resisted and there has been an ongoing battle for Ancelstierre between the Military Faction and the Queen Deros IV Faction which has made the once great city war torn and ravaged. General Christopher Butler seeks to install a fascist military dictatorship with himself as leader.
