The battles for the Bear Flag Republic would be waged in the harsh and rugged deserts of Nevada and Arizona in the summer time. The federal warplanes had to fly almost the distance from Saigon to Hanoi to reach Sacramento from even the closest point on Nevada's eastern border, and as such had to fly light so they could carry the required fuel. There were still bombing raids, but the fact that they were attacking someplace so far away from the actual battle limited their effectiveness. A few former Army units and a conglomerate of tough militiamen made their way to the borders to fight off the Americans. In the beginning, neither side needed a supply line so the fight was inconclusive. But the Bear Flag soldiers knew that for every mile that they lost, the enemy had to march that much further in the scorching heat and under harassment to supply his soldiers...

Map Tsar and Southern Gentleman

The Southerners were lucky. Texas and the West coast provided a perfect distraction and the southern states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee used this to their every advantage.

The documents from the old Confederacy were brilliant and precise. It didn't take the state governments long to reorganize themselves into a cohesive federal government. Now all they needed was a figure head, someone the people would listen to and trust and of course someone they'd follow.

Tim Macgraw was such a man. Even when presented with the documents for a new confederacy, the state government were still weary. Many just didn't believe 100+ year old documents could service them now in the 20th century however Tim begged to differ.

In all honesty Tim wasn't much of a politician, he knew little of the political world and barely finished high school. What Tim did have going for him was the likable quality no one could resist, especially the state governments. One by one, Tim was able to talk the states into going with the confederate plan and so when it came time to pick a leader, the states didn't have to think hard.

He was a little nervous to take on the job. He believe in the confederacy there was no denying that, but as said before he wasn't much of a politician and he worried that on a larger scale he wouldn't be able to smooth talk the southern population into going along for the ride.

However, as the elected President he really didn't have much of a choice and after several long and busy weeks of planning and calculating their moves, the new confederacy was ready to make their move.

CCN Word News Report

Good evening and thank you for joining us. Our top story tonight takes us the US, whereas if voices from the past were ringing out, several states have followed in their ancestors paths and have declared their secession from the United States of America. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee are the states that have declared themselves no longer apart of, as they put it, "The Union."

In an unprecedented speech, newly elected President Tim Macgraw had this to say:

President Macgraw
 
Citizen of the South, I come to you tonight not as a fellow American, but as a Southern boy rich in the roots and heritage of our forefathers. Long ago our people dreamed of a nation where we would be free to follow our own path, and live our lives how we felt they should be lived. We fought a war for this dream and though we were defeated that dream never died. We I tell you tonight with a message of hope for those who in their hearts still carry that dream. The union has failed, the pillar of power from which the Union oppressed us has fallen and now is the time for us to rekindle the dream of the Confederacy!

Yes, that is right my brothers, the time to reclaim our confederate heritage is now! No longer will we stand and be oppressed by the Union and it's blind policies of equality and freedom for all. For too long we, the good honest people of the South have had to support the lazy and I say that must end. I say join me, join the new Confederacy and together we shall built a new nation, a Seceded south whereas President I will ensure that only the righteous and worthy shall be treated equal!


Reports state that several minutes are the broadcast, riots broke out all through the South. Already several large, civilian militias have begun to organize themselves and consist armed men and 4x4 trucks. We've gotten word that a formal declaration of Secession has been published and signed by all four state governments and sent to the government at Mt. Weather however no word yet has come back from Mt. Weather itself. As far as the states themselves, we've gotten reports that all highways leading into the states have been blocked by the said militias and the city of Wilmington is now be considered the hub of secessionist activity.

This has been a CNN report.

OOC: If this F's up anything you had planned Scythirus, just send me a PM and I'll make the changes. I don't mind fighting for our independence if you want to send troops to bring us back to the union.

President Thaddeus E. Goreprime was lounging on a chair in his den in his luxurious underground mansion, several dozen feet beneath the surface of the Earth and reachable by the Mt. Weather government complex. He was watching his massive plasma widescreen TV, sipping from a martini when the news of the Confederacy declaring independence was reported. Promptly he spat out his drink and hurled his glass across the room.

He pressed at a panel of controls beside his chair and was immediately put online with his office. "Mr. Sutton... I just watched the news."

"Yes, we have it playing here, Mr. President."

"Why were the signs of this third secession not reported to me?"

"We don't know, Mr. President... this is the first we've heard of it as well."

"Well I demand an investigation! Also, bring those signed documents to the boardroom immediately... and I want the messenger terminated immediately."

"...Yes, Mr. President."

Thaddeus disconnected the line. Now he had to fight his war on a third flank. He was not pleased.

3.

Thrice already had secession rocked the United States. First, Texas had reasserted itself as an independent republic. Next, the West Coast had risen up and declared that they also were separate. And just recently, the South had risen again to reform the Confederacy after quiet manuevering. And now, the heart of the United States was about to choose the principles of the United States rather than the government of the United States.

Governor Myers stood outside of the Grand Hall of the General Assembly, attempting to hold his hands still in his pockets. The General Assembly had shifted to Chicago in the recent few years as security had become more paramount, as had the Governor's Mansion. To his right, Colonels Clark Andelus, Arlen Solten, and Thomas Irwin of the Illinois National Guard, 10th Armored Cavalry, and the portions of the 101st Airborne that had chosen to oppose the Federal government. The other units that opted to support the new government being formed, the 1st Armored, 3rd Infantry, and 6th Armored, were out on deployment. Fighters from 28th Tactical Fighter Group stood watch over the city, just in case the plans of secession had been leaked. The military commanders of each of the units were going to be meeting in the next few days to organize the command structure, but today, only those three were needed.

"Any word from Governor Isaacs or Governor Rollins?"

"Rollings has confirmed that Ohio will support secession, but Illinois has to lead. Isaacs has promised about 2/3rds of the state delegation, but can't confirm it all," Colonel Andelus replied.

"And Governor Tiffens?"

"Reports from Indianapolis within the last hour confirm that Federal troops from the 2nd Infantry attempted to establish direct martial law over the city following a leak from the legislature that the Governor was going to announce the intention of the state of secede. Since then, we have lost direct contact with Governor Tiffens. We do know that the Indiana National Guard came out and met the 2nd Infantry in combat and managed to bloody their nose; however, the entire city is under blackout and it is unlikely we'll be able to re-establish communications with them for a while. Most of the legislature managed to re-locate to the Fort Wayne/South Bend area and has convened under the protection of Colonel Solten's 10th Armored Cavalry. The feeling is that they'll pass emergency legislation requesting the intervention of the Union after you deliver the message of secession."

"The Union?"

Andelus smiled very slightly. "Seems only right, sir. After all, it was another man from this state that worked to preserve the Union at all costs before."

"The Union...yes," Myers nodded. "Alright then...I suppose I have a speech to give." Governor Jonathan Myers turned slowly and stepped out into the light and out to the podium at the front of the Grand Hall. Colonel Andelus flanked his right side, while Solten and Irwin were on this left as security. Slowly taking his place, Myers noticed for the first time the outpouring of applause and the thundering cheers that drowned out the throbbing of his heartbeat. Swallowing back his doubts, the Governor stepped up to the microphone.

"Good Evening- Members of the House and Senate, esteemed members of the military, and welcome friends from abroad," he nodded to the guest section where representatives from the Bear Flag Republic and Free Britain sat in anticipating silence. "230 years ago, a group of men met in Philadelphia to decide the future of a people. They were men of all walks of life- carpenters, reverends, fishermen, cobblers, farmers, and teachers. Regardless of their backgrounds, their home, or their age, they came together to declare with one voice that freedom was more important than power. Today, two and a half centuries later, I come here to ask that with one voice, we declare the same."

A few murmurs of surprise sprung up, but they were shouted over by cheers, some even changing from shock to euphoria in a manner of seconds. Gathering the next words in his mind, Myers continued with his speech.

"Over the past several months, we have all observed with anxious horror as the government we knew and the principles that it was founded on eroded before our very eyes. Freedoms we once took for granted are now in grave danger- freedom of speech; freedom of religion; freedom of movement; and freedom from fear!" Cries of applause went up after the pause for each, with the last one lasting for a few seconds before the crowd calmed down some. "And as we now stand a crossroads in history, as those great men did 230 years ago, we chose freedom for all men, not power to used against them!

"I put forth now, for verbal approval, the vote to secede from the United States and to form a new Union. All those in favor?" A deafening roar climbed to a crescendo in the General Assembly, drowning out all other noises. "And all opposed?" The room dropped to a quiet buzz as the excitement from those in the hall was barely contained as they waited. "The ayes have it!"

The General Assembly erupted again, louder than any time before. As Andelus and Myers shook hands, the crowd began to chant two words over and over again- one word that neither of them they thought would be happy to hear, another that they treasured too deeply to even describe.

"Secession! Independence! Secession! Independence! Secession! Independence!"

And then there were 4.

OOC: Controversial content ahead. This is where I really start delving into the stuff that conspiracy nuts have all been screaming about for the last sixty or so years.

IC:

"Gentlemen, we need to come to a decision to stop these continuing secessions," President Goreprime said, gnashing his teeth. "So far four parts of the country have declared their independence from the United States of America. We must break their leaderships' backs and bring these states back into the Union by any means necessary."

"Well, there are always the experimental laser and sonic weapons we've been developing for decades," Dr. Cornelius proposed. "Although not at the peak strength we'd like most of them to be, we can use them to enhance and support our more common, conventional weaponry. We're still in contact with our other chief research facilities like Groom Lake and Mt. Cheyenne. We should pull out all the ropes now... our new aircraft included."

Thaddeus' eyes widened in shock and horror at Cornelius. "While I see nothing wrong with implimenting the sonic and laser weapons, revealing our new aircraft is not a wise choice at the moment."

"But..."

"UFO fanatics decrying against our secret projects have been blathering about those things for ages and I am not prepared to give any credence to what they've been claiming."

"But..."

"It would force us to reveal everything we know about 'flying saucers', 'aliens', and 'crashed spaceships at Roswell.' The answer is no! Regardless, I do not believe our Head of Foreign & External Affairs would approve either."

"But certainly, Mr. Goreprime, we could use them without needing to reveal that they're ours? We need to win at all costs, like you said yourself."

Thaddeus was silent for a moment. "Very well... release the secret aircraft. But make sure that they cannot be connected to us fully. The Aurora class planes true nature is not to be discovered... whatever the means. I pray that Mr. Kraallak will understand when he returns from his... trip."

Though Austin and other major military outposts were being bombed, the core of the Texican military force was it's completely decentralized and privately armed militia. They were spread across Texas from Brownsville to Amarillo and from El Paso to New Orleans. For every Texican non-militia soldier that the Feds killed, the Texican militia killed 5 of the Feds. In Houston, as the Maitreya's helicopter took off, several shots were fired at it by militia, injuring the Maitreya and damaging the helicopter.

President Ron Paul declared the new borders of Texas to be all the land in between the Rio Grande and the Arkansas Rivers. Of course, this area included parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas that wasn't yet under Texican control, but now that they were officially (as far as Texas was concerned) inside Texican land, they would fight with tooth and nail to break the chains of the oppressive U.S. government and become independent.

Meanwhile, in Alabama and Mississippi, the state governments were signing the constitution to join the Confederacy as quickly as possible. Soon, the U.S. would lose it's direct access to the Gulf of Mexico completely.

OOC: Map updated, check it out! Also, NRE, do whatever you want with Alabama and Mississippi now, or I guess TC can if he decides he wants to join in. The point is, I'm not gonna RP with them.

In Boston, a small group of rebels had managed to evade the beast chips and concentration camps and were now hiding out in someone's basement with a copy of the anarchist's cookbook. They had already managed to make several bombs of various sizes and were in the middle of planning an assault on the Boston Federal Building when suddenly their door burst open and a dozen men in all black clothes and carrying automatic weapons rushed in. The rebels reached for their weapons but the invaders were too fast for them. Before the rebels could even put a hand on one of their weapons, they were shot with tranquilizer darts and knocked unconcious.

Declaration of the Independence of Quebec:

By the will of the people, the Province of Quebec hereby cedes from the Commonwealth of Canada and the Illegitimate Shadow Government of the former United States of America. It has come to pass that rights of the people of Quebec have been trampled consistently by the two above entities stated above.

We hold these rights to be sacred, but for those who would wish to trample them, we shall state them in this document: the right to live without outside interference from the government, the right to live as one wishes, and the right to do as one wishes as long as one does not impose on the rights of others.

We have seen Canada and the US hurt, oppress, and kill the citizens of Quebec, and thus declare that any hold, martial or governmental, over Quebec, is null and void. We declare Quebec the state of Durick Veta.

We declare that the land of the former province of Quebec is no longer possesed by any entity besides the state of Durick Veta and the citizens within.

We declare the state of the US and Canada corrupt, and declare a state of war on the Shadow Government of the United States.

Long live freedom.

While President Goreprime grew more frustrated at the announcement of the fourth secession, he was even more alarmed to get word from the Maitreya's personal guard.

"... and one of the bullets came in through the windshield and nailed him right in the head," said the guard over the phone.

"Is he... alive?" asked Thaddeus with incredulity.

"As surprising as it seems, and how long it took us to get him medical attention, yes, he is alive. I don't know how he could survive this wound, Mr. President, but he's actually hanging in there."

"Extraordinary...."

Already the Aurora class fighters and bombers were being deployed from several top secret installations throughout the U.S. There was only about a hundred of the planes in existence, the only weakness they seemed to have. Their maneuverability was stunning, and their ability to reach sub-orbit heights astonishing. The capitals of the separatist states were besieged with nerve-breaking sonic booms while bombs inundated their buildings.

No one could figure out what was happening, not even the Shadow Government's forces who were still left in the dark about the Aurora project.

Texican militia forces were remarkably less affected by the aurora bombings than other nations simply because they were far less centralized. The civilian casualties however reached astonishing numbers because of the completely indiscriminate methods employed by the US forces. A fact that was exploited by the Texican media and widely broadcast across the nation and it's surrounding areas.

To the surprise of the politicos in Detroit, Lansing, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Fargo, bombs fell on their cities. They were fully cooperating with the shadow government, but as cities burned, block by block, millions of people headed to the countryside and the camps of George Rockwell, which were totally untouched by the bombings.

Essencially, the governments of Michigan and Minnesota had been destroyed, along with the chip programs, because everyone that had not been chipped by the "Beast" took to the hills.

The effect desired by the shadow government was the opposite of what they had hoped. People became galvanized against the official government, took arms, and went to the woods, to wait out this end-of-time, and return to fight again!

General Mitchel Grayfield of the defected American forces had rallied his forces for a counter strike against the Shadow Government. Volunteers from all over Quebec had joined in as well, and Allen Kownnen himself had decided to be part of the charge.

They massed at the Republic of Quebec's (the name Durick Veta had not yet come into common circulation by the general public and the international community) borders. They were ready to march straight into New York State.

Then the Auroras came.

Three thousand soldiers were assembled at the New York border. The first bomb dropped.

There were five hundred soldiers less alive. Another bomb dropped. And another.

"TAKE COVER DAMN IT!" the General shouted. This is what Washington felt, Mitchel thought. The Americans thought that he and his men were traitors. They were going to kill him because of this. They were going to establish their empire. Quebec would fall. Then Canada.

They were the traitors. He was the patriot. He was fighting for the values of America. And he would die fighting. Another bomb dropped, and Mitchel felt extreme pain in his arm. He was on the floor. He looked over to his arm. It was gone.

The Auroras kept their bombing for another fifteen minutes. The Vetan Revolutionaries had been devestated. The message had been sent. The Auroras left. The General survived the battle. He was going to bring the battle to the Shadow Government for this. He would have revenge.

The rebels awoke to the sound of explosions. They were strapped to tables inside of a "Beast" chipping center and in another 5 minutes they would have all been chipped and their little rebellion squashed. But suddenly, the metal braces that held them to the tables burst apart and the doors to the chipping center were blown off their hinges. The scientists that had been preparing to inject the chips were killed by pieces of shrapnel, but the rebels remained miraculously unharmed. They were able to stand up and walk away from the building unharmed and undamaged before the building took another hit from the bombing and finally collapsed.

btw, another biblical allusion in here, anyone know it?
