=-= COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS PROPOSES HSR1! =-=
Date: April 1996.
"In light of OMSA's recent announcement and plans for the INTERA project, rail and public transportation have become hot topics within the British government. Although Britain already has a comprehensive nationwide railway system, there's always room for enhancement. To address this, the Committee of Ministers has proposed the HSR1 project—an acronym for High-Speed Rail 1. This high-speed rail network would connect southern England to northern Scotland, facilitating faster travel across the nation. The Minister of Transportation, Wilfred Flynn, mentioned that if the project receives approval from the Federal Assembly of Britain, it would represent a significant step toward modernizing Britain's public transportation infrastructure. Time will tell whether this will go ahead."

CONSCIOUS OF HUMANITY — THE COMMONWEALTH OF ARCADIA;
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE | F-23 Panther Production To Begin, Propelling Arcadia into Aerial Supremacy
In the early 1980’s, the Department of Defense identified a requirement for a new generation of air superiority fighters following several advances in Soviet technology. The advent of the SU-27 and MiG-29 fighters, the A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft, and new Surface to Air missile batteries held the potential to match or exceed Arcadia’s ability to secure control of an air space over a hypothetical battlefield. This reality was one shared with Arcadia’s ally, the Commonwealth of Columbia, who was invited to jointly research what has been designated the “Advanced Tactical Fighter Program”. From this programs, two models reached the final round of selection — the YF-22 and YF-23. In 1991, the YF-23 was chosen by Arcadia, while the YF-22 was later chosen by Columbia. After several months of more intensive systems tests, using the four available airframes, the Department of Defense has signed off on the F-23 to enter full production. Initially, the Arcadian Strategic Orientation & Force 2010 white paper stated that plans were made for the F-23, and Maritime Defense Force’s F/A-28 would be slow-walked over the next decade. At the time, the global environment was less tense and, despite concerns about the possibility of great power conflict, the conclusion of the Yemen Crisis last year, and continued tension between the recently established Blocs - this strategic calculus has changed. So far, the CMDF has begun to adjust its strategy in order to expedite modernization efforts for a potential Great Power conflict, in the form of the new [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2019541]Constellation–class Medium Aircraft Carriers[/url], new submarines, and ramping up production of new surface combatants. And now, with this new authorization, the CADF too will strengthen it’s posture. Under the defense spending authorization for 1996, funding has been approved to support a production rate of four (4) aircraft per month, with final assembly occuring at JAI’s production facility in Charlotte, Carolina. However, in times of great conflict, this production capacity could be expanded to between six (6) and eight (8), largely due to the complex systems involved in the aircraft. Currently, the 200 aircraft originally ordered, has been expanded to 250, with the first production F-23 entering service in 1997.

EUROPE RADIO LIBERTY | PROTESTS SUPPRESSED IN TORUN
Translation from original broadcast in Polish
Reports have come in that protesters have been beaten and round up near Torun. Anonymous Eurasians have told our reporters that a large group was rallying against the construction of a nuclear powerplant in the Torun region, when a squadron of Red Guards in full military gear came in to suppress the protests. The guards have beaten the protesters and arrested their leaders, who are probably now being detained in a "special correction camp". These acts by the ruthlessly expanding Eurasian regime are a clear violation of human rights, most notably freedom of association and participation in public affairs, since-

TIME LINE OF LEVANTINE HISTORY
________________________________
1921-1946: The Beginning
In 1920, ahead of the establishment of the Amirate of Trans-Jordan, the British looking to solidify their foothold in the Near East and maintain the pledge made in the Balfour Declaration, 1917, would force a conference between Zionist leaders, notably Chaim Weizmann, and Emir Abdullah I, of Jordan in Jerusalem. There the British would pressure the Jordanians to accept the establishment of a "Jewish national home" within their future Emirate, and the Zionists to accept that this new Jewish home would exist under the protection of the United Kingdom and an Arab Emir. After weeks of negotiations, both sides would reluctantly accept. A year later the Amirate of Trans-Jordan would gain de facto independence as a protectorate of the British and Jewish re-settlement in Trans-Jordan would continue, although not without internal opposition over the coming decades.
Tensions between Jews and Arabs would come to a head in the 1940s, when after decades of Jewish resettlement in the region conflict would arise with the Arab population. Jewish migration to the region had exploded over the past decade, due to rampant antisemitism across Europe. This tension would culminate with attacks on Arabs by Jewish militants and Jews by Arab militants. Forcing the British and Jordanians to intervene. The British and Transjordanian Emirati government would set up a joint commission in Amman to resolve the ongoing disputes. The Amman Commission would eventually conclude that the solution to the ongoing tensions would be to establish a Jewish Autonomous Territory within the Emirate. Boundaries would be drawn up by the commission and accepted by the British and Transjordanian Crowns. From 1944-1945 the Arab Legion of the Transjordan and British Forces would conduct population transfers moving Jewish inhabitants into the newly established Jewish territory and Arab inhabitants into the Arab territories, this event would become one of the largest population transfers in the region during the 20th century. The Amirate of Transjordan would gain it's formal independence as the Kingdom of Jordan the following year.
1958: Confederation and Revolution
Following a series of negations between the Hashemite Kings of Jordan and Iraq, Hussein bin Talal and Faisal II respectively, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Arab Kingdom of Syria, and Kingdom of Iraq would confederate into a united diarchic kingdom, known as the Hashemite Arab Federation, on February 14th, 1958. This new kingdom however was not meant to last, and several months later, a group of military officers, known as the Free Officers Corps lead by Major General Abdul-Karim Qasim would overthrow the monarchical government on July 14th, 1958. Qasims Free Officers Corps would secure important locations throughout Amman and Baghdad while the Royal Army was deployed putting down insurgents in central Syria. Qasim and his revolutionaries would execute the royal families that day, and broadcast a proclamation of the establishment of a Levantine Republic.
In the aftermath of the coup, Qasim would take the reigns of the newly proclaimed Levantine Union, drafting a provisional constitution and establishing a temporary Sovereignty Council as the official head-of-state until a permanent constitution could e drafted, despite this power was centred in the office of the Prime Minister, Major General Abdul-Karim Qasim.
1958-1969: The Early Union
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Qasim, the newly established Levantine Union would go about implementing a leftist and nationalist agenda, breaking away with traditional Pan-Arabism and aligning himself with social democrats, communists, the Kurds, and the Jews. This would culminate in his policy of "The Levant First" policy which would seek to create a secularist, socialist, and civic nationalist identity within the Union. Under his direction the government of the Levant would launch programs aimed at agriculture and land reform, building housing, and strengthening the role of women in Levantine Society. Qasim would even build a strong relationship with the Kurds in the North and Jews in the west, preserving their rights and autonomy to solidify their support for his regime. Over the first five years of Qasims rule, the Levantine Middle Class would dramatically increase with increased access to redistributed land and wealth.
Beginning in 1964, Qasims government would set out to further solidify their new "Levantine Nationalism", by breaking down the historic national borders of Iraq, Syria, and Jordan and establishing new "governorates". This move would anger the Jewish population in the Israel Region and the Kurds in the north, for fear the re-drawing of boundaries would threaten their autonomy. This would lead to the brief Kurdish and Israeli uprisings of 1964, lasting only several months before the government in Baghdad would come to the negotiating table. By 1965 the new boundaries of the Union would be established with autonomous regions carved out for Israel, Rojava, and Kurdistan.
In 1968, Prime Minister Qasim would abandon his long status as an "independent" politician an take over the leadership of the National Democratic Front. Following this move he would enter into talks with the, then illegal, Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party the biggest opposition group within the country, having made several assassination attempts over the years. During these talks the Prime Minister would agree to legalize the Ba'ath Party, under the condition that his national democrats and the Ba'athist merge and form a unified Ba'athist Party of the Levant under his leadership. Following a number of behind the scenes negations it would be agreed to, the in 1969 Prime Minister Qasim and his newly unified Ba'athist Party of the Levant would go on to draft a permanent constitution for the Union and establish the "People's Government of the Levant" that the nation is governed by to this day.

The construction site targeted by the attackThe local workers tried at first to disperse the men with the help of the commissar for security, but when the latter threatened violence they called upon the Red Guard to intervene. As the guards arrived, a small fight erupted between them and the leaders of the march, who where arrested and restrained pending trial.
Construction worker Liuz Bukowski commented "It's unfortunate this people have been brainwashed by reactionary propaganda: Christianity is opposed to violence, and if they didn't believe our council to be inspired by the devil, they would have been able to participate and voice any actual concerns. As it stands now, they just threatened me and the others and put a bad stain on my faith".

MAJOR INTERAHAMWE MOBILE BASE RAIDED BY EAPAF; DEPUTY HEAD OF RECRUITMENT AND LOGISTICS FOR THE CIBITOKE DISTRICT CAPTURED
|Kigali - Brigadier General Joseph Kibwezi has announced yet another succesful raid on an Interahamwe Mobile Base (IMB), this time on the Cibitoke district. The newly-purchased Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25's that recently entered into service have proven to be an invaluable asset for the EAF already, as they found a major staging ground for Interahamwe raids and attacks in the Cibitoke district. Brigadier General Kibwezi announced an immediate mobilisation of around 1000 EAPAF personnel, as well as around 500 personnel from the OMSA-TF deployed by the USSR and the ESCR, that resulted in the death of 189 Interahamwe operatives present at the staging ground, along with 59 captured operatives, including the Deputy Head of Recruitment and Logistics for the Cibitoke District, and one of Rutaganda's right-hand men for the Province, Protais Mpiranya, recognised to be one of the most gruesome and bloody Interahamwe commanders.
The attack was declared as a great success in the broader "Operation Silverback", the name that Brigadier General Kibwezi and the EAPAF's high command have given to the systematic expulsion, targeting and raids of vital Interahamwe operation sites, bases, training camps and other instalations. The Operation has seen major success and has skyrocketed President Mabunda's popularity amongst the party, as well as with the general populace, thanks to major victories against the Interahamwe rebels. Minister of Defense Yoweri Museveni has praised Kibwezi's leadership skills, and his tactical genius, when coordinating the OMSA-TF and EAPAF forces in strategic, localised and highly efficient operations.
Kibwezi has stated that Mpiranya will be taken for interrogation and trial, along with the other HVT's that have been captured by both the OMSA-TF and the EAPAF through these 4 months of conflict, as the IUM and EAPAF keep their efforts to find Georges Rutaganda and the central command structure of the Interahamwe rebels. With the great progress made in the past months, it seems like the Commune and their OMSA allies are coming together to prove that the African Continent can, in fact, enjoy stability and growth, something that didn't seem so plausible but a decade ago.

PRESIDENT MABUNDA ANNOUNCES INTEGRATION OF UBORESHAJI-ADJACENT EARN WITH THE OMSA-LED INTERA
|Mombasa - In a landmark development, President Fatima Mabunda has unveiled plans for the integration of the East African Railway Network (EARN) with the OMSA-led INTERA project. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the Uboreshaji reforms' infrastructure programs, aimed at enhancing connectivity across the East African Commune's diverse territories.
In a joint statement with Daria Kaminski, Head of the Commission for International Relations of the Eurasian Socialist Council Republic (ESCR), President Mabunda outlined the key components of the integrated project. Central to the initiative is the modernization and expansion of the Mombasa port's cargo and ferry capabilities, coupled with the construction of rail integrations for both cargo and passenger transport.
With an estimated cost of 3.2 billion dollars, the port's expansion project will be funded through a combination of sources. Half of the funding will be provided by a loan approved by the OMSA Development Fund, demonstrating OMSA's commitment to the region's infrastructure development. The remaining half will be covered by the East African Railway Authority, the East African Port Authority, and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, with each entity contributing equally. This ambitious endeavor represents a significant investment by both the Commune's government and OMSA, totaling 1.6 billion dollars each.
The project will see the Mombasa port's cargo capacity doubled, and its passenger capacity will increase by 60% when the project is finished. Furthermore, the rail integrations will not only help facilitate and cut costs on goods and people transport between several cities of the Commune, but it will also help with INTERA's connectivity along the Commune's coast, commuting at the ports of Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Beira and Maputo.

ARSON ATTACK ON MOLDOVA'S LIBERAL PARTY OFFICE SPARKS OUTRAGE AND POLITICAL TENSION
May 8, 1996
Chisinau, Moldova -- An office of the Liberal Party in Moldova was set ablaze late last night in what appears to be a politically motivated arson attack, escalating tensions in an already fraught political landscape. The incident occurred in the northern city of Bălți, a stronghold of diverging political sentiments, where the building suffered substantial damage. Early reports suggest that groups supporting closer integration with the USSR might be responsible. The fire was reported around midnight by local residents who noticed flames engulfing the Liberal Party's provincial office. Emergency services responded promptly, but not before the fire had caused significant structural damage. Thankfully, no injuries were reported due to the late hour of the attack, which ensured the office was unoccupied. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, treating it as an arson case given the presence of accelerants at the scene, which suggests the fire was deliberately set. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a group of masked individuals near the building shortly before the fire started, fueling speculations about their motives and affiliations.
Prime Minister Mihai Ghimpu, a senior member of the Liberal Party, strongly condemned the attack, describing it as an assault on democracy itself:
"This act of violence against our party office is not just an attack on the Liberal Party but an attack on the principles of democratic society. We urge law enforcement agencies to act swiftly and bring those responsible to justice."
The attack has drawn sharp criticism from across the political spectrum although it has deepened divisions within the country. Members of the Bloc of Socialists and Communists, some of whom openly support closer ties with the USSR, have distanced themselves from the violence, denying any involvement. However, their leadership called for a thorough investigation to ensure transparency and justice.
SOCIALISTS SURGE IN TRANSNISTRIA PROVINCES SPARKS CONCERN IN CHISINAU
May 10, 1996
Chisinau, Moldova -- In a significant political development, the Bloc of Communists and Socialists has secured a substantial victory in the recent local elections held in Transnistria provinces, winning by large margins. This shift in political power is causing alarm in the Moldovan capital, particularly for Prime Minister Mihai Ghimpu and his Liberal Party, who view the outcome as a potential threat to national stability and policy direction. The elections, which took place this week, saw the Socialist Party capturing upwards of 70% of the votes in many districts, a marked increase from previous polls. Prime Minister Ghimpu expressed deep concern over the results, suggesting that the Socialist win could lead to increased influence of pro-USSR policies within Moldova's broader political landscape. In a statement released this morning, Ghimpu said:
"These election results are alarming and could signify a shift that might undermine our efforts to maintain balance in our foreign and domestic policies."
The strong showing for the Socialists in Transnistria is seen as likely to embolden the party on a national level, where they have been increasingly vocal in their opposition to the Prime Minister's Western pivot strategy. Analysts predict that the Socialist Party may leverage their new strength to challenge the Liberal Party's policies more aggressively in the Moldovan Parliament and in public discourse. Across Moldova, reactions to the Socialist victory have been mixed. Supporters for the Socialist Party have hailed the results as a mandate for change and a clearer alignment with the USSR, while opponents fear that it could lead to divisive policies and a rollback of Liberal Party reforms from the past 2-3 years. In Transnistria, the mood for one of triumphant validation for many who have felt marginalized by Chisinau's policies. Celebrations were reported in several major towns, with local leaders vowing to push for greater incorporation of Socialism and further solidarity with the USSR.
-----------------------------------------------
LIBERAL PARTY ALLEGES USSR INVOLVEMENT IN TRANSNISTRIA ELECTION RESULTS
In a further escalation of tensions following the Socialist Party's decisive victory in the Transnistria provinces, the Liberal Party leadership has publicly accused the USSR of interfering in the electoral process. The Liberal Party alleges that the substantial margins by which the Socialists won are indicative of external manipulation and not merely local political sentiment. During a press conference in Chisinau, Liberal Party spokesperson Ileana Popescu stated:
"We have reason to believe that the recent election outcomes in Transnistria were influenced by undue interference from the USSR. This is not just an assault on Moldova's sovereignty but a clear example of how eternal forces are seeking to destabilize our country and reshape our political landscape."
Popescu cited unusual voting patterns and reported anomalies in voter turnout and ballot distribution that the party claims point to systematic tampering. The Liberal Party has issued a call to democracies around the world, urging them to condemn what they describe as blatant election tampering by the USSR:
"We call upon democratic nations to stand with Moldova in condemning these actions. It is crucial that the international community recognizes the severity of this interference and supports measures to ensure the integrity of our nation's democratic processes."
The Liberal Party is also pushing for an independent international investigation into the election processes in Transnistria, hoping that third-party oversight could shed light on the extent and nature of any irregularities that occurred. In contrast, the Socialist Party has dismissed the accusations as baseless and politically motivated:
"These claims by the Liberal Party are nothing more than an attempt to delegitimize our legitimate victory. The people of Transnistria have spoken, and they have chosen a path that they believe best represents their interests. Any interference in this democratic expression is from those parties within Moldova who refuse to accept the will of the people."
The USSR has also responded to the allegations, with a foreign affairs spokesperson stating:
"The USSR categorically denies any involvement in Moldova's internal affairs, including the recent elections in Transnistria. We respect the sovereignty of all states and believe in the principle of non-interference."

ARCADIAN SCIENTISTS PRESUMEDLY ABDUCTED BY INTERAHAMWE IN BUKOBA, WEST LAKE VICTORIA PROVINCE
|Kigali -In a disturbing development, a group of 5 Arcadian scientists conducting critical research near Lake Victoria has been abducted in the vicinity of Bukoba, West Lake Victoria Province. The scientists, affiliated with the Science Department of Soul City University, were reportedly studying the environmental impacts of industrialization in the region. The alarm was raised when local fishermen from Bukoba discovered the researchers' abandoned research vessel adrift near the shores of Lake Victoria. Concerned by the absence of the scientists, the fishermen promptly notified the authorities in West Lake Victoria Province.
The abducted scientists were collaborating with West Lake Victoria State University and the Ministry for the Environment on a project aimed at understanding the ecological consequences of human activities in and around Lake Victoria. They were believed to be under the protection of members of the 12th Infantry Regiment of the East African People's Armed Forces (EAPAF) during their research expedition. The circumstances surrounding the abduction remain unclear. However, Georges Rutaganda, leader of the Interahamwe, has claimed the group is responsible for this abduction of the 5 arcadian nationals.
The news of the abduction has sent shockwaves through the international scientific community, prompting calls for urgent action to secure the safe release of the scientists. As the search and rescue operation gets underway, fears mount for the safety and well-being of the abducted scientists. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by researchers working in volatile environments and highlights the need for enhanced security measures to protect scientific endeavors and the pursuit of knowledge.

- | HONO'LULU - Supreme King Akua Kalokuokamaile I recently approved legislation that was passed through the Parliament of Oceanesia, which outlines the legalization of recreational cannabis use for those above the age of 21. Cannabis that is grown, distributed, or processed in Oceanesia is not permitted to be exported to countries who have banned recreational or complete use of the plant. Those found guilty of doing as such shall be charged with drug trafficking per international law. In response to the recent law, The Oceanesian Health Institute highlighted how cannabis can be an ailment for many diseases and illnesses, but made it important that citizens should seek medical attention before attempting to treat or diagnose themselves.
- Adults 21 and older can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce (28 grams) of cannabis for personal use. The new law allows individuals convicted of marijuana possession (under Criminal Law 7-121) to request an expungement after the successful completion of their sentence. The government imposes a 9% sales and use tax on retail sales of adult-use cannabis and cannabis products, the same rate as for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Employers are permitted to revoke or terminate an individuals' employment if they have a positive drug test, this is due to the fact that certain industries require an employee to be focus and alert at all times. Those employed by the federal government, even if contracted or serving in the military, are subject to routine drug tests per usual.

OCEANESIAN MILITARY FORCES EQUIPMENT STOCKPILE EXPANDS
ʙʏ ᴄᴏʀʀᴇsᴘᴏɴᴅᴇɴᴛ ᴛᴀsᴜʀᴀ ᴜᴛᴀ'ɪ
- | HONO'LULU - Chief of the Military Forces, Makanaakua Kahue, recently addressed media in a press conference about the expanding stockpile of military equipment and how it will benefit national security objectives as Oceanesia continues to grow. The first and current stage is focused more on the Army, while the second stage, which begins in 1997, will center around the Navy and Marines. Kahue explained that equipment developed in and by Oceanesian corporations and federal research institutes like the O88 Oceaneyr battle rifle are being produced in high quantities to prepare for the second stage of military growth and expansion in Oceanesia. Prior investments into the military have been saved over time in preparation for the second stage in order to cover the majority of manufacturing costs. A previous order of 200,000 O88 rifles were completed this month, with 100,000 being dispersed to various military installations throughout the nation for immediate use. Ocean Manufacturers (OM), a major military manufacturer in Oceanesia, has mentioned that O88's production rate could exceed 225,000 rifles a year.
- Furthermore, 50 OSLAV's and 150 Taniwha Protected Mobility Vehicles will be completed by the end of the year, half of which will be dispersed to various military installations for stockpiling, with the remaining to be placed into service within an armored battalion. Their manufacturing rate will be increased to 100 and 200 per year. OM is going to expand its operations and production cap over the next three years by establishing warehouses and manufacturing plants in the kingdom-states of Kulina, Viti, Kaledonia and Te Ika-a-Māui.

OCEANIC MILITARY FORCES
The Oceanic Military Forces (OMF; Māori: Te Ope Kātua o Oceanesia, lit. "Line of Defence of Oceanesia") is the three-branched military of Oceanesia. The OMF is responsible for the protection of the national security of Oceanesia and her realm, promoting its interests, safeguarding peace and security, as well as supporting peacekeeping and humanitarian missions.
The principal roles and tasks expected of the OMF is to provide a combat capable force to defend Oceanesia’s sovereign territory, and protect critical lines of communication. To provide civil defence support, meet whole-of-government security objectives, as well as commitments to allies and partners, support government agencies, protect and promote regional peace, security and resilience in the Pacific Ocean, and uphold the international rules-based order. The OMF delivers military effects in support of Oceanesia’s national security objectives. It follows a government set defence policy framework that defines its principles, outcomes and priorities. The OMF is a critical component of Oceanesia’s national security system. Oceanesia takes an “all-hazards” approach to national security that brings government agencies together to respond to all risks to national security, whether internal or external, human, natural or artificial.
The intermediate outcomes of the OMF are listed as:
Insignia of the Army
The Oceanic Army is the principal land warfare force of Oceanesia, a component of the Oceanic Military. Since the 1970s, deployments have tended to be assistance to multilateral peacekeeping efforts. Considering decent size of the force, operational commitments have remained high since the start of the East Timor deployment in 1995. Oceanesian personnel also served in several UN and other peacekeeping missions including the Sinai, South Sudan and Sudan.
The Oceanic Army is commanded by the Chief of Army, who is a major general or two-star appointment. As of 10 September 2018, the current Chief of Army is Major General John Boswell. The Chief of Army has responsibility for raising, training and sustaining those forces necessary to meet agreed government outputs. For operations, the Army's combat units fall under the command of the Land Component Commander, who is on the staff of the COMJFO at Headquarters Joint Forces Oceanesia at Pearl Harbor in Hono'lulu. Forces under the Land Component Commander include the 1st Brigade, Training and Doctrine Command, and the Joint Support Group (including health, military police).

Insignia of the Navy
The Oceanic Navy (ON; Māori: Te Taua Moana o Oceanesia, lit. 'Sea Warriors of Oceanesia') is the maritime arm of the Oceanic Military Forces. The fleet currently consists of over one hundred and five ships. The Navy had its origins in the Naval Defence Act 1913, and the subsequent purchase of the cruiser HMS Philomel, which by 1921 had been moored in Hono'lulu as a training ship. A rapid buildup occurred during the interwar period, and then perhaps the infant Navy's most notable event occurred when HMS Achilles fought alongside two other Oceanic Navy cruisers at the Battle of the River Plate against the German ship, Graf Spee, in December 1939. The Navy would see another major build up in the years leading up to 1996. ON routinely deploys within its primary area of operations of the Pacific and Southern Ocean down to Antarctica as directed by government, and to meet Oceanesia's responsibilities in its search and rescue area. Deployments further afield are conducted as required to meet the strategic intent of the Government of Oceanesia
The ON has a role to help prevent any unrest occurring in Oceanesia. This can be done by having a presence in overseas waters and assisting redevelopment in troubled countries. For example, any unrest in the Pacific or East Asia has the potential to affect Oceanesia because of the large Pacific Island population. The stability of the Pacific Ocean is considered in the interest of Oceanesia. The navy has participated in numerous peace-keeping and peace-making in East Timor, and ongoing Yemeni Crisis, supporting land-based operations. Roles include patrolling the exclusive economic zone, transport to offshore islands, and support for the Oceanesian Customs Service.

CURRENT FLEET/FORCES
Insignia of the Air Force
The Oceanic Air Force (OAF; Māori: Te Tauaarangi o Aotearoa) is the aerial service branch of the Oceanic Military Forces. It was formed initially in 1923 as a branch of the Oceanic Army, becoming an independent air force on 1 April 1937.
The OAF fought in World War II, Malaya, the Korean War, Vietnam and the Gulf War and has undertaken United Nations peacekeeping missions. From a peak of over 1,000 combat aircraft in 1945, the RNZAF has grown to a strength of around 2,250 aircraft in 1995. It focuses on maritime patrol and transport duties in support of the Oceanic Navy and the Oceanic Army. The Air Force is led by an Air Vice-Marshal who holds the appointment of Lord Chief of Air Force. The OAF motto is the same as that of the Oceanic Air Force, Per Ardua ad Astra, meaning "Through Adversity to the Stars". The Māori language name is Te Hokowhitu o Kahurangi, ("War Party of the Blue").
The presence of German raiders led to the formation of Oceanesian-based combat units—initially rearming types, like the Vildebeest, and hurriedly converting impressed airliners, such as the de Havilland DH.86 to carry bombs. Lockheed Hudsons were obtained early in 1941 to take over this role. No. 5 Squadron with Vickers Vincents and Short Singapores was sent to protect Fiji. In December 1941 Japan attacked and rapidly conquered much of the area to the north of Oceanesia With the apparent threat of imminent invasion Oceanesia was forced to look to her own defence, as well as to help the United Kingdom. Trainers and airliners in Oceanesia were camouflaged and armed and various types, such as the North American Harvard, Hawker Hind, Airspeed Oxford and even the de Havilland Tiger Moth, formed shadow bomber, army co-operation and fighter squadrons for use in the event of invasion. From mid-1943, at Guadalcanal, starting with No. 15 and No. 14 Squadrons, several OAF Kittyhawk units fought with distinction. Several pilots became aces against the Japanese, including Geoff Fisken, the United Kingdoms' leading ace in the Pacific war. Other squadrons flew the elderly but effective Douglas Dauntless and, later, the modern Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber.

This is a list of weaponry, vehicles, and equipment of the Military Forces currently in use. It includes small arms, combat vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, artillery and transport vehicles. Since the formation of Oceanesia, the Oceanic Military Forces has been deployed to a number of conflict zones, often as part of a coalition force or part of a United Nations peacekeeping operation or to serve and protect her allies and national security interests. Equipment numbers are subject to change based on RMB roleplay in the Council of Nations NationState region.
Oceanesian variant refers to weapons, vehicles, or equipment that have similar specs but are produced by Oceanesian companies and could look aesthetically different from the original/actual weapon. Most weaponry and vehicles and equipment are produced by Ocean Manufacturers which was founded in 1925. Links to the IRL/concept weapon being used are url'd onto the name. A second company, Pacific Corporation, is the biggest weapon manufacturer in Oceanesia and the second biggest in the East Asia/Oceania region. Most equipment is concept based, meaning they are the first of their kind and owned by Oceanesia, however, Oceanesia does not take any credit in the creation or information on concept equipment.
Meanwhile, Ocean Airlines and Airnesia Aerospace are the two dominant aircraft/airline industries in Oceanesia. The government and military control the naval industry, with the Oceanic Naval Research Academy being a major funder of naval equipment and vessel construction, research, and development. Certain private companies related to mairitime shipping and commerce such as Moananomics Industries, have assisted in research or development processes.

Political outrage and small acts of political violence stirs as opposing political factions amongst the common people and the ever growing gap between the people and elected officials grows in size further.
Multiple political factions have made their name and stakes of what their wanting to do known to the people using the radio.
Though, small scale takeovers between factions and gangs have already begun and some have ended... I'm also getting word that some factions and gangs have even began coming together to negotiate peace and build relations and ties between one another..
We will continue to monitor where this situation goes as it progresses, as well as keeping up to date with the decisions on this from the elected officials of the Kingdom.
May the Kingdom continue to prosper for the coming years, or for as long as we can, and may the coming years bring prosperity to all... And may we find peaceful resolution to this situation we find our nation in..

CONSCIOUS OF HUMANITY — THE COMMONWEALTH OF ARCADIA;
OFFICIAL STATEMENT | Statement Concerning the Capture of Arcadian Citizens by the Interahamwe
The National Security Council and Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCoS) were pulled into an emergency meeting at Harriet House just moments before the news broke about the kidnapping of five Arcadian scientists. The air in the room was filled with frustration as the National Security Advisor briefed everyone of the latest intelligence from East Africa. All indications pointed to a complete failure by East African security forces to fulfill their mandate to protect the team of Arcadians, and what appeared to be a conspiracy to covery up the event on part of the government in Arusha. No formal notification had been given about the whereabouts of the scientists before a local fisherman informed the press of his findings - the scientists abandoned research vessel, with not a single member of the East African 12th Regiment in sight. President Brooke was quiet as members of the Joint Chiefs railed against what they called “gross incompetence” and “cowardice” from the East Africans who seemed unwilling or unable to protect the Arcadians they invited to participate in the research project, let alone their own citizens who continue to die in the tens of thousands while OMSA-forces, led by the Soviet Union, engage in their ‘anti-terrorism campaign’ against the Interahamwe. While Secretary Sutton advised a measured approach to the unfolding situation, the President issued orders to the JCoS to prepare forces in the region for an emergency extraction operation, while diplomatic channels are worked with the East African Commune. In the interim, a statement has been released by Harriet House detailing Arcadia’s outrage with the unfolding events, and a demand that Arcadia’s citizens be located immediately.

THE PEARL OF AFRICA — EAST AFRICAN COMMUNE;
The search by Victoria's Shores, part 1
ARCADIAN EMBASSY TO THE EAST AFRICAN COMMUNE
Arusha, Capital District, 
Cyrosia — EARLY MORNING
Our story starts down Makongoro road, near the Arusha International Conference Center, the sun barely rising on the horizon. A black security car, escorted by 5 state police vehicles, drives down this street, heading towards a very special building made out of brick, short in stature and not too big or luxurious, but fairly well illuminated by the rising sun. It has a small, beautiful garden with an artificial pond at the entrance, and a distinguishable blue, red and white flag hung from a pole placed above the door. A small bronze plaque read in Arcadian Creole, Swahili, Portuguese and English: "Embassy of the Commonwealth of Arcadia". From the car stepped two figures. The first to come out was a tall, bearded man witha rather lean build, wearing an elegant cream kanzu with a pale yellow embroidery, and a small, round hat to match. He had deep brown eyes and a white beard that contrasted with his rather dark skin tone. The man adjusted his watch, and with a stressed look on his face, he stepped into the outer arched gates of this prestigious building. Following him was a rather shorter man wearing a military uniform boasting several medals and condecorations, befitting on his status. Boasting a black moustache and a beard, the man appeared younger than his compatriot. With an unwavering gaze of determination and concentration, he followed the taller man into the Arcadian Embassy.

Marijani Uhuru Mbarak, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East African Commune | Joseph Kibwezi, Brigadier General of the East African People's Armed Forces
Minister Mbarak sighed at the prospect of yet another diplomatic meeting. He checked his watch anxiously. It had been roughly 3 days since the research team from the Soul City University was abducted by Interahamwe, and the EAPAF had found a lead, suggesting a general direction and a rough distance for the location of the rebel camp where the scientists would be held. It was only now that Ambassadors Vladimir Glasnov of the USSR, and Johnnie Carson of Arcadia, agreed to a trilateral meeting to discuss the difussion of tensions surrounding the possibility of an Arcadian task force being deployed within East African territory, as well as the proper path to follow to successfuly protect the Scientists.
"Everything good, sir?" asked a deep voice behind the minister. Brigadier General Joseph Kibwezi, who was personally tasked with overseeing the operations on the West Lake Victoria Province, had taken an emergency flight on a returning aid plane headed from the base of operations at Kigali, headed back to Arusha to pick up more aid for the increasing number of refugees arriving at Kigali's outskirts. Minister Mbarak let out a deep sigh while tiredly looking at the general. "With last night's statement by Secretary Colin Powell, the ministry has been working overtime on damage control. President Mabunda is furious at the audacity of Arcadia to question the party's methods. And naturally, most of the responsibility to maintain our already scarce reputation falls upon me, Joseph." The answer satisfied the younger of both men, who just thought of all the overtime work he himself had to do to organize a Court Marshall for the Commander, Captain and Majors of the 250 individuals responsible for the scientists' security, all men who he respected within the 12th infantry regiment, and who somehow had failed to prevent and report such an important event.
Both men quietly walked through the embassy's hallways, their footsteps resonating on the wooden floor as several Arcadian workers and auxiliares gave them way while they ran with documents, sent messages, made calls, and solved situations for other Arcadian nationals visiting the Commune. An especially angry Arcadian woman was arguing with a member of the administrative staff, demanding that her and her family were entitled to be immediately booked on the next flight back to Soul City, and to be reimbursed by the Arcadian government of the costs of their trip to the Ngorongoro Crater natural park due to the security situation. Minister Mbarak payed no mind to her, as the Ambassador's meeting room grew closer. The tension could be felt clearly in the air, as both men opened the wooden doors, expecting both the Soviet and Arcadian ambassadors to already be sitting at the luxurious ebony table that had already sat at that exact office for close to 30 years.
Nonador and Alzarikstan
The large room was lit mostly by natural lighting from the large windows on the wall opposite of the doors wherein the two EAC officials entered. The moderately sized conference table rested right of the doorway, while to the left was a well-kept desk cluttered by documents. The conference table was surrounded by polished arm chairs with the new seal of Arcadia emblazoned on the top rail, where the Arcadian Ambassador to the EAC, Johnnie Carson, was seated. Nearby was his Soviet counterpart, who sat a few chairs down from him - at a respectful distance. The two were clearly engaged in conversation when a knock came at the door, and an Arcadian Marine opened the doors to reveal the EAC's Foreign Secretary and their commander of operations against the Interahamwe, Brigadier General Joseph Kibwezi. At the site of the two, all conversation ceased, with Ambassador Carson rising to his feet and approaching the two officials with his hand extended. |
JOHNNIE CARSON, Arcadian Ambassador to the EAC: "Gentlemen... thank you for agreeing to this meeting. Welcome to the embassy."
Alzarikstan and Cyrosia
Ambassador Vladimir Glasnov. Seasoned diplomat that has represented Soviet interests and diplomacy for the past 30 years. Ambassador Glasnov was appointed ambassador to the EAC immediately following their entry into the OMSA. Additionally, not many know this, Vladimir Glasnov is a close friend to President Murat Kumpilov from law school in Leningrad and Moscow. Glasnov served in the Soviet Air Force and retired as a Captain. With the arrival of Brigadier General Kibwezi and the EAC Foreign Affairs Secretary, Vladimir Glasnov would stand up from his chair and fix his black suit jacket. Glasnov remained firm in his posture with a clear focus to de-escalate and to ensure tensions do not arise between Arcadia and the USSR similar to how it occurred in Yemen. Glasnov would shake the hands of the EAC delegation before returning to his chair. |
VLADIMIR GLASNOV, Soviet Ambassador to the EAC: "Comrades and dear friends, it is a pleasure to meet you both today although I would have wished it to be on different circumstances. I am sure there is much to discuss here regarding the scientists and the Interahamwe but I would like to explicitly state after speaking with the Soviet Foreign Affairs Minister and President Kumpilov himself that the USSR hopes to have peace and stability through successful dialogue here in this room."

Brahma and Antarctica Begin Merger Process
The two leading brewing companies in Bresil, Cervejaria Brahma (“Brahma” est. 1888) and Companhia Antarctica Paulista Indústria Brasileira de Bebidas e Conexos (“Antarctica” est. 1885) announced today a new partnership as they begin a merger process to create the largest brewing and soda company in South America and, as of this moment, the entirety of the southern hemisphere.
The partnership establishes that the two companies will work together in all future endeavors as they await approval from the Commission Sabinéenne et Brésilienne des Valeurs Mobilières et des Changes.
Upon approval, Companhia de Bebidas das Américas ("AmBev") will dominate the Sabinéen and Brésilien markets with 78% of the nation's beer market and 57% of the soft drink market. South American markets should look much the same with 62% and 51% shares respectively, with African markets very similar. The huge jump comes in the Latin American market where AmBev skyrockets to an estimated 40% market share across the board
Although it could take more than two years for the merger to be approved, this new partnership will serve to guarantee the company's success.
Massive uranium deposits in tyranoia:
Huge uranium deposits found deep in tyranoia's crust is rich in energy never before seen in uranium. Some of it even formed into a new ore were calling diamond-infysium-opilius. Basically its uranium diamonds and tungsten fused into one super ore that's pretty tough. However kryptonium, ( an ore that's good in wearing down diamonds fast, ) can melt through the opilius like butter if sat on it for 12 seconds. Scientists are still researching the infysium opilius.. Thing, and miners are digging out the uranium as we speak. That's all for now. And over to johnisk hamptiliton for the weather.
With everyone now seated, Ambassador Carson takes his chair at the head of the table. At listening to the words of his Soviet counterpart, he studies closely the body language of the others present in the room in an attempt to read any subtext to the conversation. His role in this meeting is to receive the latest intelligence on the location of the Arcadian scientists, to collaborate on a rescue operation, and to offer Arcadian support in quelling the Interahamwe campaign of terror once and for all. While the Commonwealth is resolute in it's position that it should have a substantial hand in retrieving it's citizens, as a result in a breakdown in trust following this incident, it is committed to keeping global tensions as low as possible. In Soul City's view, this is an isolated incident, and it would like to keep things as such. |
JOHNNIE CARSON, Arcadian Ambassador to the EAC: "Thank you Mister Glasnov. I too have spoken with our Foreign Secretary, the National Security Council, and President Brooke.. I would like to reiterate to you, and Mister Mbarak that the Commonwealth of Arcadia is resolved to see it's citizens retrieved, alive, and as quickly as possible. While we respect the sensitivity of this moment in history, and of this conflict in particular, the safe return of Arcadian nationals is our greatest priority. So long as this is achieved, I am confident that Arcadian interest in this conflict will return to one conducive for our giving deference to local - and OMSA - leadership. We have little desire to repeat the brinkmanship of the Yemen Crisis, but will do what is necessary to defend our people, as any nation would.... So let us speak plainly and quickly, for time is of the essence."

BREAKING NEWS: MILITARY COUP UNDERWAY IN MOLDOVA, PRIME MINISTER UNDER HOUSE ARREST
JUNE 5 1996
Chisinau, Moldova -- Moldova is currently experiencing a severe political upheaval as a military coup unfolds in the capital. Reports coming in from Chisinau indicate that a substantial faction of the Moldovan military has taken control of strategic points throughout the city, including the Parliament building, effectively sidelining the police and other law enforcement agencies. Early this morning, military personnel were observed establishing positions around key government facilities. Eyewitnesses report seeing soldiers diverting traffic away from the Parliament and setting up checkpoints at major intersections. Armored vehicles, including tanks and armored personnel carriers, have been deployed in significant numbers, underscoring the serious nature of the coup attempt.
In a shocking development, the Prime Minister of Moldova has been placed under house arrest. Military units surrounded his residence before dawn, with armored vehicles blocking all potential exits. The Prime Minister's communications seem to have been cut off, and his current condition or the terms of his detainment remain unclear. Government officials have yet to release any attempts from within the besieged residence. The coup comes after a period of escalating tension within Moldova's political landscape, where discord within the military ranks has been rumored over the past months. Analysts suggest that the coup leaders may be acting on grievances that have been festering under the current administration, though specific motivations are still being ascertained.
---------------------------------------------
In a concerning development, soldiers have been witnessed forcibly detaining multiple parliamentarians associated with the Liberal Party. Witnesses describe uniformed military personnel leading these members out of their homes and offices and placing them into APCs. The exact number of detained officials remains uncertain but initial reports suggest that at least a dozen prominent figures are now in military custody. Sources close to the military leadership suggest that the arrests are part of a broader attempt to consolidate power by neutralizing political opposition. The detained individuals are reportedly being taken to undisclosed locations, raising serious human rights and legal concerns. Further details have emerged regarding the situation of the Prime Minister, who remains under strict house arrest. Security measures around his residence have intensified, with no one allowed in or out.
Efforts by local media to contact the Prime Minister have been blocked, and the military has not provided any updates on his status or condition. The streets of Chisinau are witnessing increasing unrest as news of the arrests spreads. Spontaneous protests have erupted, particularly in neighborhoods less patrolled by the military. Protesters are calling for the immediate release of the arrested parliamentarians and the restoration of the civilian government. However, these gatherings have been met with resistance from military units deployed to disperse crowds, sometimes using tear gas and stun grenades.
The military has issued a brief statement justifying its actions as necessary measures to prevent what it describes as a "catastrophic decline in national stability under the current government." However, the statement was vague on future intentions and provided no timetable for a return to civilian rule.
