Buubztik casts his mind back to the Silverblade Rebellion, reminiscing of killing and capturing Silverblades alongside Heinrik Carrion.

Nordic-Baltic Confederation With the NBC having taken Estonia, Karelia and Murmansk, governments are set up in those regions. The Republic of Estonia and the Republic of Karelia are brought in to the NBC, whereas the Republic of Murmansk will act as an exterior puppet state. All of them have national socialism instituted. The NBC invasion forces from both Estonia and Karelia move towards the City of St. Petersburg, as does the fleet previously stationed outside the Gulf of Finland. They begin sieging the city and shelling the military installations and factories within it, taking care to not hit civilian targets. With the Russians releasing the nuclear waste into the Baltic, they are condemned for permanently damaging the Baltic Sea and a large portion of Europe's ecosystem, and the event is used to further create anti-Russian sentiment, especially in the regions newly taken from Russia. Filters that use radiotrophic fungi are installed on estuaries, water treatment stations and farm irrigation systems throughout the NBC, so as to try and limit the harm done to the environment. The USA's request for an oil deal is denied after their invasion of Canada. The NCR agents are stopped pretty much at the border, as immigration to the NBC is disallowed without special papers from allied governments. --- Mod post The USA's invasion of Canada goes fairly well, with any military resistance being hastily assembled and being subdued quite quickly. The Canadian forces, joined by militias, quickly begin to turn to the use of guerrilla warfare, which proves quite effective in the harsh Canadian environment. The Canadian government requests assistance from anyone who would help. The KAZAKHSTANI request to the other Central Asian governments is accepted, and the Central Asian Union is formed. The UK's crew on the Jovian Moon Mission reports a successful landing, and that though they have not found any oil or such as of yet, they continue to search.

I think the orc buff is kind of working now, but the bloodrage thing isn't very powerful, and we just got given a +1 damage bonus instead. POWERful

Nordic-Baltic Confederation The NBC answers Germany's call to war gladly, and declares war on all members of Pax Europa. The army is mobilised and the reservists manning the walls are called into full-time service. The majority of the army moves east into Finland, and prepares to either defend or attack. The upgraded infrastructure of Scandinavia is used to transport supplies rapidly. The bridges across Denmark are activated and a structural blockade to the Baltic is created. 3 Destroyers, 14 Frigates, 20 Corvettes, 12 Submarines and 120 Coastal Defense Craft remain to help enforce to the blockade, whilst the remaining 12 Destroyers, 30 Frigates, 55 Corvettes, and 24 Submarines and 500 Coastal Defense Craft sail to the Gulf of Finland and Kaliningrad to suppress the Russian Baltic Fleet which is far inferior. Mines are laid on the western coast of Estonia and in the Gulf of Riga. [MOD PLZ]

Mod post: Afrikan Commonwealth: The Black Panthers have moderate successes inciting unrest against the Congolese governments, with protests and even small riots popping up across the country, enraged by the allegations that genocide had been used against the people of the Congo. Combined with aid coming from the Commonwealth, a pro-Commonwealth mindset begins to spread in the Congo. The research into an alternative fuel is met with failure. The Ivory Coast willingly joins the Afrikan Commonwealth, whereas the South Sudanese government does not. Japan The lunar base construction goes moderately well, and construction is expected to finish in a few years. ((6 pages)) The Union States Canada denies the US request to become a protectorate, maintaining their neutrality, but makes it clear they don't wish to sour relations with the US. NCR The Mexican protesters do begin to subside thanks to the NCR's Equality Act, with each passing day having less and less protesters. However, a strong core of protesters remain, who desire full Mexican independence. The Australasian Federation: The Australasian hold on the gold market increases, and they marginally pull into the lead as a global gold producer. Their attempts to drive up the prices are met with mild success. The Antarctic Expedition, with NCR intelligence, is successful in finding a moderately sized reserve of oil off the coast closest to Australia. ((SKYPE FOR SPACE STUFF))

This lore has been Denied. The main reason for the denial is that splitting between Water and Ice has no real benefit or purpose. Water and Ice are the same thing, just in separate states, so it doesn't make sense that someone who can work with liquid water can't work with Ice, and vice versa.

Mod Post ARAB FEDERATION Djibouti agrees to join the Federation, happy to part of what they saw as a restored Islamic Empire. However, Eritrea does not, and asks for a guarantee of independence from AFRIKAN COMMONWEALTH. Mauritania also declines to join, a corrupt government seeking only to serve its own needs being the main barrier. The satellite launch progresses well, and is expected to happen in roughly 4 months.

NORDIC-BALTIC CONFEDERATION Celebrations rang out across the Nordic States of the NBC as Iceland finally agreed to enter the Confederacy. In Iceland itself, national socialism is instituted, with Muslims, Africans, Middle Easterners, and anyone with an ethnic origin in the Russian Federation are deported. The unemployed and homeless are inducted into the newly formed Icelandic National Labour Service, and get to work updating and expanding Iceland's geothermal and hydroelectric power plants, as well as upgrading infrastructure around the island, especially on the Icelandic Ring Road. The discovery of masses of oil in the Arctic, however, was what had the government of the NBC celebrating. With most of the oil lying off the North-Eastern Coast of Greenland, and with the NBC being the discoverer of this truly huge reserve, the NBC CLAIMS SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALL THE NEWLY DISCOVERED OIL IN THE ARCTIC. Other nations are warned that they shall respect this claim or shall face harsh consequences. Work begins on oil platforms in the Arctic to start extracting this. The leaders of any protests are invited to come talk over issues with the NBC government. ((MOD PLZ))

Nordic-Baltic Confederation The expedition for oil in Greenland and off it's coast continues, with preliminary prospecting showing good signs. The union of the Nordic countries was now almost complete, and all that lay between separation and unity was Iceland. It was by no means a major Nordic player, perhaps the most irrelevant of the lot, but it was still Nordic, and so belonged within the Confederation for the good of both parties. Diplomatic pressure is exerted and focussed on them, again pointing out the prosperity and security that those who entered the Confederation. They make the point that despite already having a defensive alliance with Iceland, the small island nation remained vulnerable, as organisations such as the UEDI would be unwilling to intervene in the case of imperialist threat. They are once again invited to the Confederation. [MOD PLZ] Attempts to sneak further nationalist propaganda into Estonia begin. Additionally, propaganda and some Karelians in Finland are armed and instructed to spread nationalist sentiment for Karelians in Russia. [MOD PLZ] Additionally, a petition to release the Karelians as an independent people is sent to Russia. With the completion of the AMAP-ADS armour, current armoured vehicles are retro-fitted. The patterns are sent to all UEDI members. The bridge between Zealand and Skane is complete, and the renovating on the other bridges is complete. If necessary, the NBC could very effectively prevent access to and from the Baltic Sea.
