    Nepal

    Gopala Kavi, Governor of the Indian region of Tamil Nadu, is meeting with the various religious leaders of Nepal at the Azhagar Kovil Temple, in Madurai, to discuss the attack by the Great Fleet

    "Greetings, enlightened people of Nepal. The attack by the Great Fleet has surprised us all, but I am regretful to say it was not unexpected. Our government has kidnapped one of the Great Fleets citizens. Doubtless, many of you are surprised by this. But it is true. The decision was not made lightly, but we believe it was necessary.

    There mutters of discontent from the audience, until Prabhat Kiran, respected leader of Shaktist Hindu Church, stands up to speak

    "This is outrageous! There is nothing in the Sanātana Dharma that allows such!"

    "You question the most enlightened minds in the nation?"

    "I do when it affects all of us. What has driven you to such madness?"

    "The Great Fleet was a potential risk to our citizens, we needed to take steps to ensure our safety."

    "Steps!, look at what these steps bring to our nation. Violence and Bloodshed.

    "Umm... sirs, I believe there has been some sort of mistake. We havn't kidnapped any Great Fleet citizens...."

    This was from Dipaka Ashok, one of the advisors for the ruler of Nepal.

    "Lies! You see the response your actions have brought and seek to cover it up. I am not fooled so easily. I demand you return the Hostage immedietly!

    "Hmph. You never could see the bigger picture. This meeting is over.

    "I will not be silenced!

    Prabhat, normally a peaceful man, reached down to his belt, and drew his sword from it's sheathe. A dozen other Shaktists at the meeting joined him. Gopala responded with gunfire, and before long the whole temple had burst into chaos.

    Within a week, the entire Shaktist church was in open combat with the Government. The Smarists joined the Skatists soon after, with the Shaivists remaining in the support of the Government.

    The Vaishnavist remained neutral for a few days, but it was there forces that led the attack to reclaim Orissa from the Great Fleet. They were met with a horrific scene, as the Great Fleet butchered all their prisoners and fled. Within minutes the Vaishnavists had joined the fight against the government.

    Nepal has fallen into Chaos.

    Triumvirate has a proposal to you. Canada is going to be recognized as a world power soon. It's important for you to gain the prestige and world sympathy to attract further investment, cultural exchange and join the world organizations. There is a way to do so.

    Canada used to be a major agricultural exporter. With some additional investment from Triumvirate, you'll be able to recover that position pretty quickly.

    Next step would be to join the humanitarian effort proposed by Uzbekistan's politician Ahad Babaev.

    There is going to be a conference held in the New South Africa and Triumvirate will make sure your representatives will be invited. Our image makers will help to prepare your people. It would be good, if you requested their aid to set up democratic elections.

    OOC - I might be going in red with all these spending... I'll see about getting other investors and finding new sources of income. That operation in Indonesia is a disaster. I probably could have bought those Warlords for a penny. That's for breaking mercenaries first rule - fight only, when you are paid for it. Never again.



    Press Statement on Indonesia Situation

    It appears we have acted recklessly without properly considering the situation. Triumvirate realizes the concept of sunken costs and we won't pursue the course of action that will lead to further losses. We will withdraw from the region, if the regional power block will order it. Triumvirate doesn't wish the areas currently occupied to fall into the chaos of power vacuum. We will require to know, to which authority we should relinquish control of the ports, before we depart.

    I'd like an update on how the information from the raid helps the anti-corruption faction in EU. It's extremely important to my plans.

    Russian airships are delivering the Eden Arcologies' seeds to those nations willing to accept them in Europe, Africa and Asia. For those who are in the greatest need, Russians give free ordinary grain from their own untouched storages, and offer to sell the rest with pre-virus market price, no markup because of the tragedy.

    "Regarding the Triumvirate situation in Indonesia, we believe that the best course of action right now would be to work together in this matter to make sure this powerbloc is taken as a serious effort and not just a PR-move by us.

    We suggest that control over the ports be relinguished to a joint committee made up of officials from all our nations, headed by Greater Japan of course. Together, we should attempt to link the native governing authorities up and hopefully build a peaceful regional power of Indonesia under our supervision. All of the current warlords will of course have their say on how things are done. Assuming true unification is a lost cause, at least cooperation between the various minor regional powers should be achieved before we can hand over the governing to the Indonesians themselves.

    Anarchy is always a transitive state. We can only affect which direction it goes in. The unification will happen eventually one way or the other; let us make sure it doesn't happen by the way of tyranny."

    We will of course offer you a noticeable discount due to the crisis currently going on. But let us look to the future; after all many nations around the world are working together to prevent famine.

    After you see the effectiveness, speed and transport capability of the new Russian airship trade fleets, maybe we can set up a permanent route. After all, the high seas are dangerous nowadays, and our nation has plenty of raw resources for you, while you have products we lack.

    European Union

    There are two announcements by the EU. The first is a minor thing. An address to the government of Argentina. The address itself is spoken in a civil tone, but the speaker is General Thorsten Huber, commander of the EU's armed forces.

    "It is the opinion of the European Union, that the Falkland islands are the property of the United Kingdom of Great Britan and Ireland. As such, the nation of Argentina must relent it's control over the islands, and return them to their rightful owners."

    The second announcment is more important. It comes from David Fortin, the face of the anti-bribery group in the EU

    "Greetings. With much assitance from Russia, we have been able to obtain proof of the Triumvirates bribery of our officials. I have copies of this proof with me now.

    Fortin lifts up the briefcase he his holding in his left hand.

    "And we will be making it public. Today. So all people may now the truth.

    Even amongst us; The few who knew, there were doubts. Some of us did not believe the Triumvirate capable of such. And I say, they were right to be suspicious. An act of this scale, is inhuman. Rulers capable of this, should never have risen to power.

    But they did. No one could doubt it now.


    The speech ends. Fortin opens his briefcase, takes out the evidence, and holds it up to the nearest camera.

    Proof (everyone may read)
    Spoiler
    Show
    The evidence includes;
    • Taped confessions from thirteen of the confirmed seventeen bribed officials.
    • Taped conversations between the Triumvirate corporation Inter-Law, and Ermitteln (a private investigative organisation in Berlin) discussing, in detail, the briberies.
    • Taped confessions from six of the twelve leaders of Ermitteln
    • Financial documents showing large sums of money transferred from the Triumvirate to Ermitteln, and from Ermitteln to the bribed officials.
    • Written orders from the Triumvirate, to Ermitteln, regarding the recent vote in the EU, about whether to start a campaign to provide financial support to Uzbekistan. The orders are to ensure that all seventeen individuals voted in favour of the campaign. All of these individuals did vote in the favour of the campaign, despite some having expressed strong views against it in the past.

    We did not deport them. We realized we might have issues with you eventually so we took some steps. First every citizen of the Falklands was bought out for between 5 to 10 times the market value of their lands. Then we subsidized the purchase by Argentinian citizens of the land from our agents. Then the new citizens of the Falklands passed a referendum declaring their own sovereignty followed by a referendum petitioning to join Argentina. We harmed no one and it was all perfectly legal. If you wish to reclaim it then you will have to buy it back.

    Seriously Argentina still claims sovereignty right now in real life. It's even in their constitution. I really doubt that the Argentina I wrote the background for would give up those claims for any reason on any treaty. And other than something definitive like that I'm not sure what a treaty would change given that nothing has stopped them from claiming it up to now.

    The Territory was not owned by the Falkland Islanders, it was simply leased to them by the British Crown. Any sale of this land would simply be a transfer of this lease, and would not give them the right to hand over sovereignty, which remains in the hands of the British Crown. The United Kingdom, however, finds it hard to believe the sale of the land was not carried out under duress.

    Ah you are apparently not fully acquainted with all the relevant laws. We put this deplorable state down to the insurrection you suffered during the War. As it happens your own government granted the Falklands a constitution of its own which expressly grants them the right for self determination. Regrettably they never used it to take the proper action, but it was there. We managed to save a copy of it that we can show you if you no longer have access to your own copy.

    I think you will find that purchasing land on the Falklands does not make you a citizen of the Falkland islands. Unless you claim they applied for British citizenship too?

    Such a referendum on citizenship would also have to be called by the either the British Government, or the Government of the Falklands, who are representatives of the Crown. I am not aware of either doing so.

    Sanctum is going to spend (-economy) on non-perishable foodstuffs to give to Europe in light of the food shortage. No strings attached, and Sanctum does not publicize it... though news of it does reach major news networks.

    Also (- economy) is going to spent on bribing the Great Fleet's information network. The purpose of this is to turn them into Sanctum's information network. This is not going to be a (-economy) payment each turn, but a one time large bribe, and then a Sanctum payroll after.

    Assuming that Sanctum grabs a small portion of it (I know I can't get them all with only that much money) they are to keep a low profile worldwide, but to start to question the Great Fleet's leadership, promoting independence, not unity amongst the pirates.

    Quite true which is why the referendum did not happen until 8 years later after all the new landholders had received citizenship and by dent of their majority put their own representatives into office. We have no idea why you have no records of this happening, perhaps you should investigate whether other records have been misplaced.

    Yes admittedly that's a long term plan that the UK would probably have noticed and responded to. But on the other hand they let it sit for 50 years without disputing it. So I think Argentina has a bit of valid claim here.

    (Note: former Algunisia. It's an inofficial name now).

    In Algier, President Ruiz today announced that, despite crop losses, the Oasis Settlement project would continue, along with the wider and more long term Saharan Terraforming Project.
    "It has been twenty years now, since we began the program, and our detractors ask: where are the results of the Saharan projects?
    And I tell you: we have always said that your grand children would see the results, and live in a Sahara grassland that was not a desert of stone and sand, but fertile farmland. But what have we achieved today? The sand has stopped spreading north and south. We have fortified oases with rows of bushes and weeds that hold the sand together. Larger bushes and trees will be coming soon.
    We have gathered water from the air, and lead it inland in great pipes. The project is working, and already, the berber population will be able to tell the improvement. It is not a useless project."


    In related news, the minister of agriculture, Ali Ibn Muhammad, publicly thanked the Eden Arcologies, Russia and Australia for the promised help and stated that already, the Federation's top biologists, among the best in the world, were working on a cure for the virus, and on resistant strains.

    We would be more than interested in these technologies. However, currently the Mediterranean economy is fully taxed fighting the virus and feeding it's population. Would you accept either a delayed payment, or a payment in rates?

    We do indeed need foodstuffs to get over the current crisis, and would be grateful for any special trade considerations.

    We greatly appreciated your help and would also welcome future collaborations. Your experience in genetics would greatly benefit our terraforming efforts.

    The Mediterranean federation would be interested in an alliance, which could of course be signed with single captains or the entire fleet, if any man was able to speak for them.
    Terms would be possible military help from fleet ships, and a reduction in piracy on federation ships, in exchange for favourable trade and safe ports along the north African and southern European coasts if they were necessary. Of course, the exchange of money for such military services would be out of the question.

    Two projects in addition to those mentioned:
    After receiving Intelli-crops from the Eden arcologies, Algunisian labs immediately try and secretly retro-engineer their genomes, to try and find useful new applications and make their own genetically enhanced crops.

    Second: in an of course highly secret action, we are trying to introduce the virus to Gibraltar's hydroponics.

    The Audacity would be with the fleet that attacked Nepal. That fleet will now withdraw towards the Indian Ocean. I'm not sure what other people are planning so I won't go into more details than that for now. Though without interfernce they'll head to a rig city for some downtime.

    As its very hard to get the entire Fleet to agree on one thing we offer you this deal in exchange. The right for your ships to fly the banners of the Great Fleet so that while your ships are at sea they will be considered ships of the Great Fleet and for your ports to be considered rig cities. If you want more details on what this means we'll be glad to tell you. In return for this we would also require acess through the Suez channal.

    Triumvirate

    Press Release On EU Bribery Situation

    We would like to receive an independent confirmation on the validity of this evidence. The circumstances of investigation were very suspicious, involving secret messages to Ottoman Empire, planes crashing and assassination attempts. It was obtained with the assistance of the Russia, which is a known competitor to Triumvirate. We have also stated several times, that we would cooperate with investigation, but our offices haven't seen any investigators asking questions or requests to provide documentation.

    David Fortin has stated that he couldn't believe we were involved in the crime. Then why didn't he even tried to interview our top management or employees, to hear our side of the story? Triumvirate would put the character of David Fortin under question. It sounds like cheap populism to call alleged bribery in a vote to provide charity to a suffering nation, an inhumane crime. His actions hurt international image of EU and drive frictions between its members.

    The current situation in Nepal is dangerous. Greater Japan is known for expanding territory by consuming lands in chaos.

    Ok. First I'd like to check on those transfers from Triumvirate to Ermitteln.

    Second, I'd like to know how profitable it would have been for Triumvirate to bribe EU (considering the only profit for us, were the fees for assisting people in getting it in Uzbekistan). If I can get proof it was unprofitable, it would be nice.

    Waiting on: Humanitarian Conference by Uzbekistan and confirmation from CSA about theft of Economy and great fleet.

    The British Government does not recognise these citizenships as valid, and has no record of such citizenships ever being applied for. As such, no legitimate election could have taken place. Also, the Government of the Falkland Islands is only partially elective. The de facto head of state is the Governor, appointed and acting on behalf of the British Crown. We know this Governor did not sanction any election, as he fled to Britain to seek asylum upon the Argentinian invasion.

    Bribery situation:

    The Russian Federation would like to confirm that it loaned the assistance of two squads of elite anti-corruption investigative units to the EU for the purposes of this. The proof is right there and in multiple copies available to anyone who wishes to check it's validity. As for an inhumane crime, the investigation is currently still on about the so-called 'accident' of the downed airplane, proven thus far to be an act of sabotage.

    Triumvirate

    Press Release on EU Situation

    Triumvirate requests from the anti-bribery group, to present a motive for this crime. What would make our corporation risk its good name, anger our major business partner and spend this much resources?

    David Fortin hasn't presented a shred of proof about the perpetrators of the sabotage that lead to the crash of the Eurostar Flight 742. His remark about the ''inhumane crime'' is therefore completely out of place. If somebody believes otherwise, please watch the news from Nepal.

    Triumvirate's Investigation

    We request the following information in order to persue our own line of investigation into the truth of the matter:

    1. Who informed the David Fortin's of the bribery in EU?
    2. When did Russia got involved in the investigation and who requested their assistance?

    Beginning the first phase of the operation - media blitz. We have more than enough ammunition, ask for independent people to check the validity of the proof, spread copies over the internet for anyone to see, after things get rolling bring up a few smaller cases of corruption and such to fuel the fires. Try to get the people of the EU angry.

    Oh, and have Forbin keep his initial sources confidential, citing the airplane crash as reason, not wanting to endanger private citizens for their vigilance.

    Adolfo smiled at the Captain and crossed his legs in the uncomfortable chair, smoothing his jacket.

    Once a location had been agreed upon, six large contacts were picked up by Russian air defense radar. As escort fighters were launched, reports began streaming into Russian command of six massive, black aircraft, as large as two antiquated Boeing 747 planes places side by side. Each was propelled by four glowing V-Tol engines, and though they were relatively slow they reached their target in a matter of hours and landed with surprising grace. As soon as they touched down, their bellies opened and disgorged a number of shining pre-war construction robots, including a massive sonic drill. As they began breaking ground, a single cybernetic representative approached the gathered Russian workers sent to help, basic architectural plans in hand.

    Elena Demichev favored the Captain with a smile.

    "Thank you, that would be ideal. My colleagues will accompany your other two ships in order provide similar safeguards, if they may?"

    The plans are agreed upon. If EA needs any help, the Russians will provide. Of course they'll generally look over what's going on to avoid someone building a hidden nuclear missile silo or whatever on their backyard, but there won't be any real breach of privacy.

    "Of course." The interior of the ships has been somewhat customized by the captains and crew themselves - the one Elena gets on has an 'antique' feeling with wooden interior decor and carvings. However, small signs show the ship is both new and very efficient.

    The Ottoman Empire
    We are glad that the EU has at last put everything out into the open. We hope they now understand that this is a better way, and that they will continue to follow this example in the future.

    It seems that indeed there has been some misdeed on the part of the Triumvirate. The Ottoman Empire will say to the EU that if they have a problem witht their officials, they should keep a closer check on them in the future. The Ottoman Empire does not condemn the actions of the Triumvirate. We do ask instead that in the future, if your actions are put on question you will explain everything imediately, as this will help avoid the embarrasing investigation that we have all endured.

    The greater problem appears thus: the sabotaged plane originally carrying the proof. The Ottoman Empire announces it is starting a project to increase our investigation abilities, to enable us to seek out the truth where others conceal it. Our first order of business will be to discover which nation or group sabotaged the plane. This was not merely an attack that cost lives, it was an attempt to stop the unveiling of the truth that the plane carried and this afront can not be laid to rest.

    Triumvirate

    On EU Bribery Scandal

    Triumvirate still requests that Anti-Bribery Group presents our supposed motive for this crime, before we will say our final word on the whole affair. We also request that Russia reveal the details of their involvement. Certainly by lifting the veil of secrecy, no harm could come to the honest.

    We would also like condemn the way Anti-Bribery group has conducted themselves - as some sort of secret organization, instead of pursuing the matter through proper open channels. This has led to much confusion and deaths of people. The good intentions don't excuse improper conduct. We expect voluntarily resignation of David Fortin.

    The situation couldn't be explained immediately, because the leadership of the Triumvirate was as in the dark as you. It is possible, that some of our local managers are behind the corruption. If that is true, they have acted without informing their superiors and will suffer the consequences.
