Sultan on Security Council, Naval VictoryThe Sultan has finally responded to New Endralon’s
recent proposal to the World Congress Security Congress which proposes that nations across the globe no longer trade with Medina on a few specific materials and goods which could be used for war.
An absolute disgrace. They intend to put me on trial? Good luck! As if that could be a fair trial... It’s nothing but a colonialist nonsense resolution, based on the false foundation that our protectorates are illegitimate. South Utembo was formed by a peaceful agreement by both the King of Utembo and I, and Tropica’s constitution was voted in twice by the people to avoid the catastrophic anarchism that was previously dominating the region.
This is nothing but an attempt to thwart Dovani once again and keep the lowly colonial nations in their place... Well no more! Medina shall not fall so easily.
Meanwhile he also celebrated a
recent naval victory against New Endralonian forces arriving by boat, with more than 1000 casualities with the enemy losing badly to Tropica’s merciless and brilliant tactical use of submarines, calling it “a stark warning to those who wish us harm that we are not to be underestimated.”
Statrica Votes to Avoid Offensive on Medina But Maintains WarToday the Statrican assembly voted to focus troops on securing and improving their domestic situation, with long-hidden radical and possibly violent socialist and even monarchist groups arising in the face of the scorched earth policy implemented by Azeez which has left parts of the economy shattered and led to an uncomfortable increase in tensions in the region.
The vote is not binding, and the two nations shall remain at war, but means that Medina does have one fewer enemy to worry about in the coming months.
Azeez Faces Retreat In Utembo as Raafith Begins to Crack Under Pressure, Empire ShrinksThe only mildly popular King Raafith of South Utembo was forced to make a desperate attempt to flee the city of Kansara today, arriving at the Sultan’s palace at 8.47 PM.
The Sultan’s brother Raafith is widely seen as a usurper in the nation, taking hold at the end of the Medinese-Utemban war some years ago. While peace had generally been maintained up to this point, the recent war with Talmoria and Norh Utembo, with the capital coming under siege, has led to a resurgence in loyalist movements and put immense pressure on Raafith to capitulate. While still insisting on his right to Kingship, his fleeing from the country “for his own safety” has struck morale in the South Utemban armies badly, which was already at rock bottom.
With Kansara near enough fallen, Azeez, who had recently struck a powerful victory against the Talmorian forces, looked furious as he was forced to make a retreat after Raafith’s escape.
The Sultan has harangued Raafith for the failure, though will obviously maintain his royal status, with South Utembo now falling into the hands of the enemy and unifying the Utemban nation once more. While Utembo has agreed to no longer Perdue retribution and entered peace talks with the Sultan, they seem to be absolutely certain that they won’t restrict any other nation’s attempts to use their land or resources to invade Medina, even if it means perpetual war.
Meanwhile, Azeez has taken out his own frustrations on a lowly general who lost a great deal of casualities on he retreat to a surprise attack from the Talmorians, with Azeez sacking him on the spot. Azeez has been developing a more ruthless streak in recent months, reports suggest, increasingly feeling that his generals aren’t up to the task without him, bar a few exceptions. Azeez seems to be absolutely furious with the state of the war. Indeed, it seems that Azeez is the main driving force for success for Medina, scoring the only major victories yet aside from the recent naval assault.
Still, he maintains that “we will win this war”, citing the Medinese and Tropican lands as “considerably more secure” and “strongly pro-Medina”, saying that “I invite anyone to begin any attempt to invade us, for it will be futile: so long as I breathe, the Sultan leads and the people have faith, Medina will never fall.”
I go by Ashley now and use she/her pronouns. This is a really old account, I don’t play now.
I was a mod in classic for a bit, then I helped make Marcapada and WM there for a while. As of 2020 I’m co-ordinating Pachapay’s development.
