Ooc: No. There aren't. All nuclear weapons were withdrawn following the Optus Bay incident and Volohk's entry into the no nukes treaty. I believe I brought it up at the time when Quing Nara looked at an un-updated treaty between Vostag and I prior to the nuclear proliferation rule. But it was some time ago so I'm not surprised people may have forgotten. Idk if the actual treaty has been updated yet or not. I'm on the no nuke treaty so no nukes in my nation. Mine or anyone else's.
OOC: I figured it was something like that. Thanks for informing me, I was just confused on how all that got resolved after looking over old rmb posts. There was a blank between what happened before and after the Optus Bay Incident.
OOC: I figured since Aravam and Nortus Kvenland were unlawfully removed from their positions, and replaced by people that weren't democratically elected, I want to petition a recall election so we can have officers that are democratically elected, instead of being selected on the base that Vostag was offended. I would like to nominate myself as a candidate for the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
OOC: I agree that we should have a recall election, and so I would nominate MYSELF as a candidate for the Domestic Affairs position. I have prior experience to the position, as I did serve a term prior to Aravam.
OOC: I don't know why we should even have a recall election, Aravam and Kven were removed from their positions before they could finish their terms, they should be given their position backs so they can continue their jobs.
OOC: Yeah and I was just about to finish the new and improved factbook for the BTF, but I guess the new DA Minister will have to start all over on that. Good luck going to almost every Barbarian's trade info from scratch. Poor decision making on Vostag's part.
EDIT: And honestly I wouldn't want my job back, Tritra was right when he warned me not to work for regional government. I don't recommend anyone to work for Vostag, you upset him and he'll just fire you and kick you out. He tried justifying it, but an apology just isn't enough. Don't waste your time with that.
OCC: Honestly man you don't want to know. But if I had to simplify it; Vostag got his feelings hurt, so he fired and banjected me and Nortus Kvenland so he could have 'space', despite me and Kven's hard work and dedication to the job. We weren't given our positions back, so all the work we did was for nothing. Before that he was engaged in an rp with Songhai Mali, and didn't like that he was losing, so he threw a tantrum, escalating into what it is today.
OOC: I understand it may not be ideal, we still need officials in office that are democratically elected, instead of appointed. If I have to deal with the challenges of being a minister, it is worth it knowing that the Peoples' vote matters. Its a worthy sacrifice to me.
OOC: Actually I wasn't looking at an old treaty, you told me yourself that you still had nukes in Volohk but they were 'controlled' by Vostag for 'protection', that is why I pulled from joining the no-nukes treaty, because you still had WMD's on your soil like Tritra said. I never looked at any treaty or anything, you just tried to underhand me. So I was like 'screw that'.
OOC: Its pretty ironic given that a lot of countries embargoed Vostag, so the only changed they'd have to make would be to remove all those trades made with Vostag.
OOC: Well actually, besides the massive pull from Vostag's markets, there were a lot of new trades made with other countries. It was so much that I had to ask Sovern and Tritra for some help. Too bad though.
1. There are no nukes of mine in Volohk. The man says no nukes there then no nukes there. His nation after all. Simple as that.
2. Follow the RP guidelines or don't. I said that when I updated them and it says that in them. Do whatever you want. Play how you want to play with whoever you want.
3. No point to a recall election cause it's election season Monday anyway.
In response to the in-mass embargo on the Hyperborean Empire of Vostag, the leading author of the coalition, Tritra, will be holding an international summit of likeminded leaders, who will participate in the second step in the new world order. In the E.P.F. interim-President Valentina Ion will be announcing the future of the international stage of commerce and trade.
"Since the embargo on the Hyperboreans, nations have pulled their interests from their former Northern counterpart, but now that trade has halted, the next step in the right direction, is how to replace the demand, and to correctly reform the trade economy, Tritra will be establishing trade with its coalition members through new and improved agreements, which are balanced and fair for all partners. While we are still pending some new trade deals, we've established a stable new route system between coalition partners to ease the domestic markets of the world. Now, with the new world order, we can re-direct wealth between each other, instead of promoting it to a country that no longer shares a common interest. As of today, we will hold an annual summit of the new economic powers, and decided on an equal and even basis of diplomacy and global commerce. We are no longer dependent on the interests of the Hyperboreans, so for now their influence dwindles before the new Barbarian markets thrive in their absence. I applaud the brave leaders who, along with Tritran leadership, founded a new network of countries, independent of oppression and hypocracy. Together we can make a new tomorrow, an improved future.
In addition, we will be providing a military care package to Songhai Mali, and help them train their soldiers and officers to be the best they can be, and reach their potential. While nations in Zothique fall to socialism, one by one, we will establish a strong, capitalistic nation, capable of holding the ideals of national sovereignty and ambition. This new project will escalate Songhai's place in Zothique, and establish a new order in the continent. With our help, they will be capable of extended their influence and stability, and dwindle the hold the socialists have. Zothique is in danger, and if it falls, the pestilence and disorder will spread through the continents of the world, and bring down society. With this new stronghold of strength and courage, we hope that the Mali leaders decide to use their new found strength to defend their freedoms, and project power over the continent. With their new, post-modern weapons, they will be able to spread their influence, and deter B.I.T.O. hegemonic oppression, and contain the Red Bloc."

IC: "Joint Azerupt-Vesvin Entente Training Program" - (Part 1)
In collaboration with Culof, Malulota, and Hunnack Orionus; the Holy Barbarian Empire will be hosting military exercises five miles inward from the Imperial-Volohkian border; conducting infantry training with fellow Entente members, to build trust and improve individual armed forces. The first part of the training program will begin with practicing defensive measures in likewise terrain. The training program as a whole is being centrally coordinated at their headquarters in Fort Jyylan, a bordering fortification along the Imperial-Volohkian border. The Entente flag is raised high on the mountain fort.
In addition, His Holiness will be organizing naval exercises in the Crowded Sea, with an introduction campaign in the form of a massive parade taking place from the Dominion Bay, to the coast of Culof, and finally arriving in the Solitude isles. Then the forces will return from their rally point, to a designated location ten miles from Volohk's coastal territory, where the fleets will begin drills and practice using their newest anti-aircraft doctrines. Once the naval drills are finished, they will return to the Dominion Bay; the same task will be carried out continuously, and consistently, until the foreseeable future.
IC: Coronation of the Republic: The Crowned Republic of Heussaria was formed as a result of the political union of the Republic of Greater hessia and the Kingdom of Greater hussaria. While the two states had different and distinct peoples and cultures they also shared much due to their sharing history and a border. After a century of having common allies and being allied with each other the bonds between the two nations grew ever closer. Their peoples fought side by side together, they died together, and often times for each other. They shared similar goals and interests on the world stage. Eventually each nation saw increasing calls by growing portions of their respective populations for closer ties. On 23 June 12016 Greater Hessia and Greater Hussaria both held referendums for uniting the two nations. The referendum passed with 75.1% of the vote in favor of political union. Following 4 years of negotiations Greater Hessia and Greater Hussaria entered into political union and formed the Crowned Republic of Heussaria on 31 January 12020. A new nation with the strength of two has been born!
ATTN: It's election season again folks and my first election as Chief Operating Officer soooooo YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!! First up on the block is Communications minister. So if you're interested in running for the position then let me know. Election is June 29th.
IC: Vice President Kodlak speaks before the UNB chamber; it will be the first time he would officially represent Sovern in the body of the United Nations of Barbaria.
"As I have been delegated Alduin's position for the time being, and embody the prepositions bestowed to my by the People of Sovern, I come in peace and gregarious nature to maintain stability of the world, and mass accessibility for the Federation, I stand here today to not only make our restitutions, but hold our hand out for the recent developments regarding the unification of Greater Hessia, and Greater Hussaria - in the formation of Heussaria; we would like to presume our pre-existing trade agreements, and eternal friendship. If there are any needs the new state requires for it to sustain its stability and unity, the Federation of Sovern would like to remind you that we are at your assistance.
The Sovern Federation would also like to reinforce our position in the Crowded Sea, that is why we will be bolstering our forces in the region. The construction of Fort Haven is complete in Serun Isles. Our presence only grows in the area, which we will surely open up to our ally, Volohk, to collectively share the naval base so we can evenly distribute our might in the Azerupt, and remind the lesser powers who are the superior, prouder, and bolder great powers are. We will be also establishing a second naval base, dedicated as a B.I.T.O. anchor for the warships of countless fleets, waving the flags of the mighty allies. The world must be reminded who pulls its strings!"
IC: The Songhai Air Force has recently published its trials on a new series of loitering missiles, in part of the military's recent Lethal Autonomous Weapons Program (L.A.W.P.); which has proven significant results in the last tests conducted along the Songhai-Berber border.
The loitering missiles use "kamikaze" tactics to destroy their targets, after being able to track said targets with artificial intelligence. Songhai wishes to use the technology to terminate ground defense systems like radar towers, missile sensors, and counter-ICBM devices. The military has also exercised the idea of combining these autonomous weapons as the vessels for biological and chemical agents.
