Nicolan Insurgency in Nasania

Anyone interested in Rping following situation, post below. Thanks.

My country currently has some separatists on the border with Gladio and McMasterdonia. These two groups are the Nicolans and Oscarians, the former being more militant. Since the 1970's they have been extremely militant, effectively waging a war against the government. To complicate matters, we recently fought a civil war with fascists and communist elements to restore the monarchy, so our government is somewhat shaky.

There is a possibility the separatists may have based themselves on the McMasterdonian side of the border, which is troubling to say the least. Our government is currently debating how to handle this situation. Most of our people are wary of getting involved in the McMasterdonian situation(and the govt. have yet to officially state their position).

Our Government is a Military Junta operating through a rubber stamp Parliament. The junta is composed of Kosonen, an evenhanded traditionalist who follows pragmatic policies and is the moderating hand in the Junta, wants to reintegrate the rebels into Nasania and stay out of the McMasterdonian situation. Admiral Lahti, resident eccentric and highly jingoistic, wants an 'intervention' in McMasterdonia. Air Chief Marshal George Matsuoka, who is basically the junta's version of the new guy, suggests an aerial bombardent could herd the separatists to a new location, and with McMasterdonian assistance, the rebels may be suppressed. The rest of the Junta officers want to move in and eliminate the rebels. Finally, there is our ceremonial King, who is a hardliner and wishes to restore absolutism in Nasania, would like to annex the region in question.

The parliament is composed of Shamanists, Royals(oddly more liberal leaning than the King), Minorities(whose districts are under martial law), the junta(who have veto), the Liberal Democratic Party(Left Libertarian), Nasanian Independent Party(Capitalist/NeoLiberal) Nasanian Liberal Party(Really just the political bureau of a CEO, Yrjo Reinikainen, who wishes to rule Nasania but pragmatically keeps hidden most of the time). The egalitarian parties include the Nasanians for Democracy and Progress, Nasanian Socialists, NUW, NOW. Our conservatives are the moderate Royalist Restoration Party and the Fascist Monarchist Nasanian Patriotic Front. The Main coalition is RRP and the embryonic Egalitarian Coalition. They are going to agree with their constituents' demands.

In addition, there are two banned political groups, Nasanian Communist Liberation Front(NCLF) and Nasanians for a Republic(Fascist), who are based in the Nozan Sanchi and the border with Bolsheviki and attempting to subvert the central government.

Been awhile since I have had the Insurgency Thread. Time to get this Moving.

Here is what I had in mind several months ago. Some of the entries, like the ones referencing McM, will have to be changed.

Kitoshi Times:

'Insert Map of the Country'​

Nicolan Nationalists have undertaken a bold move by claiming part of McMasterdonia as part of their territory, taking advantage of the recent unrest there over the past month, and there are some rumors they have occupied several towns and villages in the McMasterdonian mountains across the border from Nasania.

The Nicolan nationalists are nothing new in Nasania, as they have been fighting for independence in some form or another since the late 1970's. However, their efforts have not been very successful over the years, despite the civil wars weakening the central government. After, the second civil war, an attempt at compromise was made with the parliament being proportionally assigned partially by ethnicity giving Nicolans and Oscarians an effective tie-breaker in votes. However, some Nicolans have rejected this compromise claiming the parliament is rigged by the military junta that governs Nasania, and have continued fighting legitimate authorities. In an effort to bolster their weakening position, they seem to have sought refuge across the border in McMasterdonia, and are looking for support from McMasterdonians.

With McMasterdonia's own unrest, it is uncertain what their government will do in response to this recent incursion, given their own government is shaky and has a possibility of being overthrown by anti-monarchists. What is certain, is that this new development has altered the balance of power within the region.

In the meantime, government officials in Kitoshi are debating how to respond to this new development. Most of the people are wary of getting involved in the McMasterdonian situation and the government has yet to formalize an official statement. So far none of the political parties have stated their positions save one, CEO of Nasanian Steel Inc., board member for three other corporations, and Chairperson of the Nasanian Liberal Party(LLP), Yrjo Reinikainen who said: "This is a rather troubling situation indeed! We are watching it with great interest. I hope the government will undertake the measures necessary to resolve this crisis."
