OOC - Hulstro-International Community Conflict
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2017 11:16 amOOC - Hey everyone. I thought I'd set up an OOC thread to try to pull together all the various plot lines regarding the ongoing conflict and the Security Council nations and its allies.
As those who have been following this will know, it has drawn in a number of nations and players from Hulstria, Istalia, Hutori, Dorvik, Malivia, Sekowo, Kazulia, Indrala, Dankuk, Baltusia, New Endralon, Vanuku and others.
War is in the air and I suggest all nations wishing to be involved look to draft a RP bill in line with game rule 23.1 - which require 2/3rds of all players with seats (and 50 per cent of the seats in the legislature) in your nation to approve it. In order to do that we have to have a desired outcome for this RP.
My hope for this RP is that whatever its outcome it will lead to an expansion of the plague crisis or RP regarding the plague, which has been successful up to this point.
Timeline of Events so far (up to December 19 2017 - game time March 4320).
1) Wolfsheim Bacterial virus ravages third world - 100 million dead - the epicentre is the underdeveloped nation of Ostland (capital Wolfsheim), which borders developed nations of Hulstria, Sekowo and Kazulia.
See map of third world here (with Ostland located about two thirds of the way up on the centre left):
2) Totalitarian Hulstria declares it will enter Ostland to contain the spread of the plague (and potentially to achieve strategic ambitions).
3) After some resistance a military coup takes place in Ostland, led by Dundorfian suprematists, and Hulstria is invited in - begins policy of burning settlements to contain plague etc.
4) Meanwhile, the Security Council votes to send a world health mission to Ostland (Resolution 46) and to offer support and medicines to combat the plague.
5) Hulstria refuses Security Council entry, claiming it has the situation under control and closes the borders. The Security Council then passes Resolution 47 to allow it to send armed forces to Ostland to protect the mission - nations such as Istalia, Hutori, Dorvik, Baltusia and Malivia all pledge support. SC then proposes Resolution 48 to condemn Hulstria.
6) Situation escalates and following plenty of hawkish rhetoric both Hutorian and Istalian fleets set sail for Hulstria to set up naval blockade. Other nations such as Kazulia and Sekowo are approached in an attempt to draw them in on either side.
7) With conflict looking imminent the plague is detected in Istalia and then in other developed countries - Malivia and Valruzia etc - causing worldwide panic. Many countries and corporations work around the clock to develop a vaccine, both individually and collectively. Military action put on hold as nations look to combat the disease spread instead.
8) Hulstria claims to have valuable knowledge of the disease and says it will share with world community if all sanctions lifted. But Istalia discovers that plague is now rife in Hulstria and that the country may have irresponsibly (or deliberately) allowed it to spread to rest of developed world.
9) Situation is further complicated when Hulstria signs a defensive pact with Vanuku - one of the world's great military and economic powers.
10) Resolution 49 is proposed by the Security Council to set up an international health authority to co-ordinate action on the plague and bring together research from initiatives such as Fort Hawkins (Hutori), Burgmuller Pharmaceuticals (Baltusia), Cancon Corp, Kazulia and Malivian government projects.
11) With sanctions taking a grip Hulstria agrees to compromise and allow in world community to Ostland to research the disease. Punitive resolutions are suspended.
12) After years of research, vaccines are developed by Malivia, Hutori-led Fort Brett Hawkins, Cancon Corp, Burgmuller Pharmaceuticals and Hyperion. Many countries receive vaccines or data on how to produce them and start to stem the spread of the disease.
13) World Congress Humanitarian Mission invited into Ostland under supervision of Hulstrian Army to deliver health care and aid and to supply vaccines.
14) Hulstria does not live up to its promises of more moderate policies and begins a harsher clamp down on communists. After an aborted attempt to invade New Verham by Hulstria, Istalia pulls out its humanitarian personnel from Ostland.
15) As communist and Septembrist uprisings spring up in Hulstria, the Istalian delegation to the World Congress reveals shocking attrocities carried out by the Hulstrian regime in an attempt to ethnically cleanse the region of Gao-Showan ethnics. The Istalians then send an ultimatum to Hulstria - leave Ostland in three months or prepare for the consequences.
16) Security Council Members draft Resolution 50, and resolve to send a huge military coalition task force into the region to liberate Ostland and use military force to bring about a regime change in Hulstria.
17) Following a leadership battle in which Hulstrian Chancellor Leopold Nimitz narrowly hangs on to power, a multi-national task force launches co-ordinated land, sea and air operations, sinking the Hulstrian naval fleet, gaining air superiority and invading Crowlands territory in the north and west. A large Hulstrian counter-attack in Ostland is also blunted as the coalition advances and Septembrist and communist forces go on the offensive.
18) Ostland falls to the coalition and Hulstrian forces withdraw to a defensive line in the Crownlands - nicknamed the ring of steel. Nimitz declares that surrender is not an option and forces through more draconian laws following his reconfirmation as leader. The Coalition prepares itself for an all-out attack on the defensive line.
19) A multi-front assault called Operation Pegasus is launched by the coalition punching holes into the Hulstrian defensive lines. With their position compromised the Imperial army falls back to defend the capital Karstadt and every man, woman and child is ordered to take up arms against the enemy.
20) With Coalition forces advancing on the capital and ready for a last bloody assault, Leopold Nimitz is taken seriously ill. Officially it is declared a seizure but some rumours are abound that he tried to commit suicide. Leaderless, the party votes on ending the war and agrees to unconditional surrender to save further bloodshed.
21) Victorious coalition forces and factions gather in the restored capital Kien for a conference on the future of Hulstria and Gao-Soto.

So, that is the situation so far, this is how we propose for the RP to develop:
Stage One - As the Security Council and its allies establish resolutions to condemn and combat Hulstria's aggression, the plague spreads to the developed world - affecting nations such as Istalia and then others. Players are encouraged to get involved with news of how the plague has spread to their country or how they are taking action to prevent its spread i.e sealing borders, quarantines etc or how they are working to develop vaccines. While this is happening military action is on hold
Stage Two - Once an effective vaccine, or some way to stave off the virus has been developed by the world community, it is planed that a security council-led coalition will enter the third world nation of Ostland to 'liberate' it from occupation by Hulstria and deliver aid to the country. Security Council Resolutions 46, 47 and 48, 49, and 50 all link to this, so it would be good to read them for any player looking to get involved in the military action.
Stage Three - The consensus is that following a couple of news events, which I will drop into the action, the security council will feel justified in entering Hulstria and trying to force regime change.
Once invasion of Hulstria happens, we agree it will be like western coalition v Iraq style scenario. The end game is that a new democracy-friendly government is installed.
