Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation Founded

October 4214 - A new power now dominates central Majatra, a Socialist Federation grouping the largest Majatran nations with clear goals of expanding its rule. The recent socialist revolutions in Kalopia and Jelbania, both benefiting from significant sponsorship from Deltaria, which had already been governed under a socialist regime for a long time, have ultimately led to the governments of Deltaria, Jelbania, and Kalopia coming together to create a socialist superstate called the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation. Although the Deltarian legislative has yet to ratify the treaty establishing the Federation, the Deltarian government has already signed on behalf of the Soviet Socialist Republic, and with this act all of central Majatra, from Hadjoheims to Ishkiziartzoupolin, is now under a Socialist Federation, with its own flag, anthem, armed forces, and central government.

However, the creation of a state of this magnitude, especially given its anti-capitalist and militantly socialist orientation, has naturally created much opposition. Particularly Istalia and Kazulia, who hold the Kalopian provinces of Mossavi and al-Najd, respectively, as protectorates, are opposed to the rising red tide and have increased their military presence in the protectorates, as the new Federation may soon move to assert its sovereignty over the entire Kalopian territory

And in fact the creation of the new Federation has already led to a serious crisis between the MRSF and the Istalian and Kazulian protectorates. Soon after the signing of the treaty establishing the MRSF, the Kalopian government proceeded to close its border with the two protectorates, initiating the construction of a border fence, and preventing anyone from leaving. Since the socialist revolution in Kalopia many have fled the Vanguard government there towards the two protectorates, and the flow has drastically increased since the creation of the MRSF. Worried about a potential brain-drain and the attendant loss in productivity, the Kalopian government decided to prevent anyone from leaving Kalopia, on pain of death. The Kalopian government has also increased its own military presence on the border, seemingly threatening to overtake the two protectorates by force of arms if necessary. This new standoff, coupled with the newfound assertiveness of the Kalopian state as a result of its membership in the much larger and more powerful MRSF, may lead to a quick escalation of the crisis

Government of the MRSF

With the official ratification of the treaty establishing the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation by the Deltarian legislative, the MRSF now finally has functioning institutions. According to Article 6 of the Treaty the first Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation is the Head of Government of Deltaria, currently Chairman of the Rada of Ministers Andrej Bartoš, whose mandate started in August 4215 and will last for five years.

Should no further nations join or leave the MRSF, the Federation shall be led by the following heads of government:

1. Deltaria:
August 4215 - August 4220

2. Jakania:
August 4220 - August 4225

3. Jelbania:
August 4225 - August 4230

4. Kalopia:
August 4230 - August 4235

According to the treaty, the Chairman heads the Council of Minister, the supreme governing institution of the Federation with the right of implementing and enforcing the MRSF's policies and representing the Federation in international affairs. The Council of MInisters is composed of all ministers of the four member states, and is therefore composed of 52 ministers.

Federation fails to buy Malivian Tanks
Scrapped defense contract increases Majatran tensions

Image
The MRSF will not have tanks like this one any time soon

May 4217 - Last year the two protectorates of Al-Najd and Mossavi, which had been under Kazulian and Istalian rule, respectively, since before the establishment of the MRSF, jointly held two referenda to determine their future. In both provinces voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of independence and unification with the other province, meaning that in the near future the two protectorates will form a single independent state, challenging the legitimacy of the Eleopolis-based Kalopian government and the entire MRSF. Unsurprisingly but most worryingly, the Federation refused to recognize the legitimacy of the referendum and its result, and issued threats that it would try to take the two breakaway provinces by force. This has placed all neighboring nations on high alert, as tensions over the two provinces could easily escalate to the point of open war.

And to add fuel to the fire, the member state of Kalopia has recently signed a substantial defense contract with the Free State of Malivia, according to which Kalopia would purchase a fleet of around 500 Tangki perisai Mk I tanks, in exchange for 120 million Malivian Crowns, equivalent to 685 million Kalopian Drachmas. Given that, according to the treaty establishing the MRSF, the Federation is to have unified armed forces, this purchase would have greatly expanded the military capabilities of the growing Federation. Although a unified and integrated command structure for the Federal army has not yet been established, Kalopia had announced that the new fleet would be transferred under MRSF command with the establishment of unified armed forces.

The offer, which came unexpectedly from the Malivian side, seemed to come as an answer to the MRSF's prayers. Internationally isolated and surrounded on all sides by hostile powers, the Federation has few friends and an expansive list of enemies. The defense contract would have altered that situation and allowed the Federation to form closer relations with one of the stronger Artanian nations and break its closing isolation. But this new agreement did predictably create much anger among the Federation's largest opponents, with both Kazulia and Istalia condemning the deal in harsh terms. Due to the disproportionate response from Skalm and Romula, Malivia was forced to cancel the deal, causing much consternation and anger in Čachtice. What could have been an opportunity to establish the MRSF as an aspiring military power turned into a fiasco and further fueled the growing Majatran tensions and instability, as it is now clear that the Federation is more than eager to grow its military might and will take any opportunity it can to achieve that goal.

Unholy Alliance
MRSF and Vanuku form defense pact

March 4219 - With the official establishment of the Istalian-backed Federal Republic of Kalopia-Wantuni in January and with the signing of the Zardugal-Istalia alliance, the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation found itself surrounded by powerful and hostile neighbors and internationally isolated. But this changed suddenly with an unexpected diplomatic breakthrough that came this year. Vanuku and the Federation signed the Majatran Peace and Prosperity Accord, a non-aggression and mutual defense pact between two nations with seemingly irreconcilable goals. The treaty implements a non-aggression pact between the two sides, removing the threat of either party taking hostile action against the other, and more worryingly for the young Istalian-Zardic alliance, the treaty also implements a mutual defense agreement between the two sides, specifically targeting direct neighbors of either party, thus tacitly pointed at Zardugal. A more unusual clause of the treaty is the provision that neither party would intervene in the constitutional and legal framework of the other, meaning that the MRSF has officially dropped all pretense at spreading its revolution throughout Majatra and that Vanuku has tacitly endorsed the membership of nations it regards as part of its sphere of influence in the Socialist bloc. With this treaty the Federation has successfully neutralized Zardugal and thus fully secured its western border, meaning that it can now focus all its energy on the unrecognized Federal Republic in the east and gear up for the inevitable confrontation with the Istalian giant. Interestingly the treaty was negotiated on the Vanukean side by Prefect Diederick Obbéz of the Liberal Party which had until now been noted for its staunch anti-communism, proving that mutual interests override ideology.

Having breathed a sigh of relief with the signing of the Majatran Peace and Prosperity Accord, the Federation can now pursue its goal of militarization without the risk of a repetition of the Malivian debacle. And indeed, as soon as the treaty was signed, the Federation embarked on another military purchase, this time from the Aldegar-based Hyperion Corporation, a private military contractor. In a less ambitious but no less significant purchase, the Federation is to obtain small arms and military trainers from Hyperion. The Federation has placed an order for 5,000 Kruger Mk. I Sub-Machine Guns, all equipped with attachments, as well as 600 military trainers and Direct Military Assistance, for the overall price of LOD 3,600,000 and a LOD 400,000 monthly payment, in addition to the transfer of several thousand troops of the Red Amazon Army, Kalopia's all-female militia, from the Federation to Hyperion. The Federation announced that it is willing to place an even larger order within the next two years, also capitalizing on the fact that the Vanuku-MRSF alliance explicitly allows arms sales. The Federation is now clearly free to flex its growing muscles, and Vanuku now has the opportunity of reestablishing its Majatran sphere of influence, while the Istalian alliance finds itself facing a far larger threat that Kazulian and Istalian bullying will no longer be able to contain.

Kalopia Chairs the MRSF
Kalopia's turn as head of Socialist Federation begins

Image
The new Chairman of the Council of Ministers reviewing the Federation's armed forces

September 4230 - Last month, according to the provisions of the treaty establishing the MRSF, the rotating leadership of the Federation fell to the head of government of Kalopia, Aniketos Xanthopoulos. Xanthopoulos has been the leader of Kalopia since the regime change in 4208, and is seen as one of the architects of the Federation. More importantly, throughout his leadership of Kalopia, Xanthopoulos has focused most of his energies on military development and on countering the Istalian threat. As Secretary-General of the Command Council of Revolutionary Socialist Vanguardships Xanthopoulos was partly responsible for the MRSF policy of non-recognition for the Federal Republic of Kalopia-Wantuni, the buildup of military forces, the failed deal with Malivia, as well as the "unholy alliance" between Vanuku and the MRSF. If this is any indication of how Xanthopoulos aims to lead the MRSF, then expect more aggressive posturing and further military escalation from the new administration. In his opening speech, the new Chairman subtly criticized the failure of MRSF member states to share the burden equally, condemning the instability that has plagued Jelbania and Deltaria, as well as the failure of the other member states to contribute to the MRSF military buildup.

And indeed all funds for the development of the growing MRSF forces have come exclusively out of Kalopia's pockets, while the other member states have had more pressing problems to deal with than "Istalian imperialism". And it is not just conventional weaponry that Kalopia has been buying for the MRSF. Sources within the Kalopian defense ministry have revealed, on condition of anonymity, that Kalopia has signed a far-reaching military contract with an unnamed nation that led to the shipment of roughly 16 tonnes of mustard agent, lewisite, adamsite, and chloroacetophenone, 200 of the unnamed nation's main battle tanks and blueprints for the construction of an additional 400 under Federation license, tear gas, a food supplement with the effect of making police and military units more aggressive, riot protection equipment, as well several high-ranking experts from the field of police and military. According to the same anonymous sources, Kalopia has also begun construction of an intranet, with the goal of censoring the internet within Kalopia and the Federation. The shipment of this weaponry was started in June 4220 and the construction of the tanks initiated in December 4220 and ended five years later. The officials refused to disclose the cost of this purchase, but did mention that the unnamed government allowed Kalopia to obtain the weapons from private military contractors without a down payment, with said government guaranteeing Kalopia's debt.

Now that Kalopia is in charge of the entire Federation, Aniketos Xanthopoulos may press the other member states to contribute to the Armed Forces of the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation, including the Kalopian debt to the anonymous foreign benefactor. If Xanthopoulos succeeds in bringing all member states in line and establishing a unified military and foreign policy for the Federation the chances are high that the ongoing cold war with Eastern Majatra may soon heat up.
