Head of Roleplay, I'm not actually sure, Embassy Rejection Officer is checking embassy requests against our official policy and either accepting or rejecting as necessary, and Surveyor runs polls. Cartographer runs the map, but that will be a bit more complicated, seeing as that was a Dispatch owned by New cashistan, so we'd have to set up a new Dispatch while, ideally, not displacing any of the contents of the current one.
That'd be great. It sounds like you're still deciding, so no rush, TG me if/when you're ready to become official, and I'll send you the basics of how it works.
Hello! I am a newly founded nation, just here to introduce myself. If anyone has any pointers or advice for getting started (besides the regular introductory telegraph) please share, thanks! 💙🐬
Welcome, welcome. As Monsone said, read every issue thoroughly. Each has unexpected consequences and benefits. Choose as you please though. Any errors you have can be remedied later when the issue pops up again. For more detailed information and statistics of your nation, you can write what ever you please in your factbooks and dispatches.
Welcome to the Cape! I'll leave the advice to the others, I think they've got it covered. It's good to have you here! Feel free to ask any of us if you have questions about the region, or the game in general.
A bizarre incident has occurred in Tiyang-Po where a truck hit a train. Yes, a truck did indeed strike a train. The incident occurred in Tiyang-Po's Ibiza Industrial Ward. A semi-trailer truck carrying a half-load of mythril ingots to the Mylo-Kurn Forgeworks lost braking power and crashed into the side of the second articulated well car (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_car) of a stopped intermodal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_freight_transport) train. The crash was strong enough to derail the articulated well car's third wheel truck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogie). The only one injured in the incident was the truck driver who chose to remain anonymous.
A little extra information: Due to an incentive to reduce the amount of trucks clogging up Roxium roadways, industrial areas in the Roxium Federation have large networks of tram tracks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_running) that have been designed and built for freight trains to use. The train the truck crashed into was on one of these tram tracks.
Fall colors spread across Cape of Good Hope. It was a time to prepare for winter. Yet, in the northern reaches of Monsone, trouble was brewing. For nearly two hundered years, the small province of Sarskreik had been a mainly agricultural region known for being pircturesque and remote. But, it was all to change. One night, in the city of Sarkreik, when the streets were devoid of activity, and the streetlights cast erie glows, a loud boom was heard; a boom like no other. It ripped the air in half and then, a explosion of light. As if the sun had risen. The sky was iluminated by shades of white, yellow, purple, blue, red, and pink. The citizens of Sarkreik rushed out to see the comotion, only to see their sky glowing in the night. Then, as misteriously as it had come, it dissapeared.
Ministry of the Interior-Serversvik-Next Day
Minister of the Interior, James Koftk sat silent as the report was given. His mouth was dry and being roused mere minutes after the event didn't help. As the oral reading of the report came to an end, James walked out of the room. On his way out, James was tapped on his shoulder. Pivotting to see who had done it, James came face to face with the Minister of Defense, Adriana Galegikask. She had a stern look on her face, and just like James, she was exteremely tired.
"What do you think cause it?" Adriana asked shrilly.
"I don't know." James replied as he rubbed his face, attempting to stay awake. "All we know is that we've lost contact with the town of Santk Jamesh. " He added on.
"Well the MoD (Ministry of Defense) is formulating ideas ranging from conspiracy theories involving aliens and radiation to a plane crash." Adriana replied.
"Lets talk it over coffee." James stated as Adriana nodded in aproval and they walked away.
Santk Jamesh-Same Day
A woman, no older than 23 and about 5'4 looked around. Smouldering remains and smoke filled the vista, obscuring the beautifull views of the Techraij Mountains. She nodded as she continued to survey her suroundings. The Commander would be proud.
Then, another woman, similar in age, but of a height of 5'3 popped out of a small metalic pod that was smouldering. She looked tired, and a bit uptight. In hand was a small orb with swirling smoke inside. Upon tapping it twice, a pre recorded message began.
"The fleet wil arive in three months. In that time, learn all you can about this region. The intel will be crucial. All means of gaining intel are allowed, but if the governments of the region find out, we are doomed. If you fail, both of you will be fed to the hellhounds."
The message ended. Both women nodded at eachother. Little to their knowlege, a singe security camera had survived the blast, and had recorded said message.
Ministry of Defense-Seversvik-Same Day-Five Hours Later
All the ministers were exhausted. Having been awoken at 1:30 in the morning. Criticaly, most of the minister were concerned. The PM was rumored to be angry, and this could be bad, very bad.
Just then, Albert Pryesmaan (the PM), clearly invigorated by several espressos marched in with an odd smile on his face.
"Well, since you all heard the recording, you know what I will say. Plan, prepare, and notify the Cape of Good Hope nations. We've survived other space invasions, often worse. I'm certain we can survive this." Albert Pryesmaan stated, clearly not worried, but excited by the prospect of intergalactic war.
At 18:30 Seversvik time, all Monsonian embassies in Cape of Good Hope recieved the details regarding the incident and the protocol. Buy 00:00 hours, all nations had been notified.
(Feel free to add your nation's response and if you want, give feed back, just via Telegram please).
The Roxium United Armed Force Augusta Division, already weary of possible Zeon aggression, decides to assign a single fleet to a defensive position along the Roxium/Monsone border. At the moment it seems the majority of the Roxium Federation is treating this new threat brought up by Monsone as low priority. The three Azeroth Division fleets enroute to this star system, known in the Roxium Federation as Amaterasu-Gamma 3, that are being brought in to deal with Zeon, are informed of this new threat. It is at this point that one of the Azeroth Division fleets, the Iron Hammer Fleet, has exited hyper warp in the vicinity of Mars. The other two fleets, the Vindication and Mulgore Fleets, are still in hyper warp. The Vindication Fleet is currently in interstellar space a few dozen lightyears away, and the Mulgore Fleet has just recently entered intergalactic space after leaving the neighboring Netherious Galaxy.

The aid us appreciated, but it is not known who caused said incident...yet.
The Sarkreik to Seversvik express pulled into Seversvik's Linerhotkf Station. there, hoards of people walked to and fro, changing trains, etc. To add to this were the newspaper and food stands that tried to sell you all types of things. A chaotic environment, and perfect of Heyskaa and Sykreta. With both of them dressed in clothing that blended in seamlessly, they walked out onto Avendide dek le Konkordiek. There, the throngs of people were still present, and the roads were bussy with all types of vehicles. The two of them then walked over to a taxi driver who was sipping some coffee.
"Take us to the Ministry of the Interior." Heyskaa stated as the taxi driver stopped sipping coffe and looked up. "Yeah an' why 'zactly do ya need to go there?" He asked in a thick Seversvik accent. "Take us there, or you will regret it." Sykreta stated as she pulled out a pistol that was unlike anything the taxi driver had ever seen. "Okay okay! No harm wa' meant! Sure I'll drive ya' there." The taxi driver replied as he entered his car, a Mjleczcraj with the plate number 74019832.
Then, the two women got in, and the taxi driver, still a bit nervous drove off. Being a taxi driver, he knew the shortcuts, and within twenty minutes, there were at the Ministry of the Interior's tall, brutalist skyscraper that shared a resemblance with the UN building in New York.
Sykreta and Heyskaa got out, and walked into the building. But before they could get any further, a guard stopped them.
"Ma'ams, please present your ID's." The guard urged as two police officers walked up. "Let us in or we will kill you!" Heyskaa snapped. "Was that an insult? Take them away." The guard ordered as Heyskaa and Sykreta were handculfed by the two officers and taken away.
Mojestaar Prison, Seversvik
Heyskaa and Sykreta were both booked and then tossed into a jail cell with two other strange looking people. One was twirlling a gold coin and was dressed in a impecable suit. The other had on a Ministry of the Interior troop uniform.
"So, who are you?" Asked the man in the suit. "Who are you?" Heyskaa snapped back. "Janes, Albert Pryesmaan's aid." The man in the suit replied. "Karl Morgaute, the ex-head od security of the Ministry of the Interior." Replied the man in uniform. "We are Heyskaa and Sekreta. Aid us and we will reap you rewards." Heyska and Sekreta stated in a eery syncronized voice.
Both men smirked. It was time to get their revenge against the establishment that had let them down so badly.
(Shorter post, but expect a longer one next time. As always, if you have any responses, state them, but if not, its fine due to the fact that no other nations are realy involved).
Monsone at about the same time Heyskaa and Sykreta were thrown into the prison
A lone Enterprise-Class scout corvette from the Roxium United Armed Force Augusta Division fleet that was dispatched to the Monsone/Roxium border has found an impact crater in Santk Jamesh. Minutes later the R.U.A.F Azeroth Division Vindication Fleet exits hyper warp about 800 miles above western Monsone. Anyone watching would see space start rippling like water before tearing open. Said tears would move backwards, "ejecting" a ship from hyper warp before ceasing to exist. As the tears move backwards, flashes of white light appear for brief moments, indicating the direction the ships are coming from. It takes less than 10 seconds for the entire Vindication Fleet to warp in, including its command ship, the Long Island sized Might of The Naaru, a Zenith-Class super capital ship. There's a pretty obvious disparity in both size and fire power between the Augusta Division fleet and the Azeroth Division Vindication Fleet. The Augusta Division fleet that was assigned to the Monsone/Roxium border, the 14th Tiyang-Po Fleet, is a general security fleet consisting of a few dozen corvettes and cruisers along with a single Kiru-Class sub-capital ship. The Azeroth Division Vindication Fleet on the other hand, is a heavy duty frontline combat fleet with over 100 individual ships. The bulk of the fleet consist of Macross and Duskarr-Class battle destroyers with a few newly built Poncle-Class battle destroyers thrown in. The rest is composed of battle corvettes, battle cruisers, carriers, scout corvettes, and other miscellaneous ships of varying purposes, mostly logistics and in-field repairs. The Vindication Fleet's primary purpose is to deal with Zeon, so it's not getting involved with the thing Monsone warned Roxium about.
Trade and Business
Thriller Dynamix, a Roxium amusement ride manufacturer, wishes to export some of its attractions to Monsone, mainly its standard Twister Screw roller coaster model, a popular roller coaster found in many Roxium amusement parks.

Been busy, the next RP installment is comming soon.
A dragon smuggling ring based out of Lotus Grove has been busted by authorities. Dragons are reptilian creatures indigenous to Roxia Prime, but are not exactly like the dragons you think of. There are at least 500 known species of dragons, and only 3 of them can breath fire. By far the most commonly smuggled dragons are chisents (Chisents are a group of dragon species that resemble Chinese dragons, but behave like alligators and crocodiles. They're found in rivers and wetlands. They can reach up to 30 feet in length and are carnivorous. Their average life-span is 40 years in the wild, 50 years in captivity. Keeping them as pets is STRONGLY ill-advised as they have been known to kill and eat people. Also, keeping them as pets is illegal.), serpovenoids (They look like leg-less Chinese dragons. Mostly found in arid climates. All serpovenoid species are venomous. Life spans very from species to species. Like chisents, it's illegal to keep serpovenoids as pets.), and lewanags (Lewanags are predatory flying dragons similar to birds of prey. The biggest lewanags have wingspans of around 1.5 meters. Can be found pretty much anywhere outside the polar regions. The longest lived species can reach over 70 years of age in the wild. Also illegal to keep as pets.)
