Six months ago, the British Empire was abolished.

Over the past six months, the British army has endured massive losses of forces, combined with an unprecedented economic depression across the nation. Eventually, King William resigned, and the country descended into anarchy.

The police and what was left of the military were unable to control the public who stormed Buckingham Palace on July 2nd 2013.



Today, two days following the march on Buckingham, a new leader has arisen. King Harold, who is determined to deliver the British people the prosperity and peace they deserve. Starting, with the re-establishment of the British Empire.

In a speech he gave earlier today, he commented; "A new power has arisen. I can promise you, the British people, that hence forth you shall be living the lives of some of the richest people on Earth. Our Empire had many advantages, and some disadvantages. I do not blame you for thinking it was ruining this country, but now we all understand what we have to do."

- All claims immediately prior to the abolishment of the Empire are hereby re-taken. The British Imperial force has been re-assembled to its former glory.
- Conscription officially begins in the United Kingdom. By the end of the month, the army will have enrolled 5 million conscripted men from the UK alone.
- Billions are being poured into a mass propaganda campaign across the Empire to boost morale and increase support.

OOC: What can I say, I was bored, and ERP is dying. Let us revive it.

South Africa reminds Britain that the political geography has changed and that many of their previous African holdings have either fallen under the rule and protection of other powers, or has formed an indigenous government.

OOC: I dropped my African claims a while before the Empire was abolished.

OOC: Cheers then.

cheery-o to the New Reformed British

Support us! your loyal Greek Allies

We call for an election in India (OOC: RP Poll by ERP members) to determine if India truly wants to rejoin the British Empire. We have our doubts.

OOC: That would be your opinions, not the Indian peoples. Not that I really care to be honest. I'm just bored, and I'm entertaining myself by being an imperialistic pig. I invite you to stop me, I'd love a war.

OOC: We are asking for a reelection because we doubt the Indian people would like to rejoin the British Empire. Stop hiding in OOC and reply IC.

IC: "No."

The Mozambique Confederacy congratulates the new British government, wishes it luck with its endeavors, and hopes to have good relations with this new empire.

"You weren't around to witness their colonialism. You would swiftly change your tune if they had possessions on your doorstep. This move is not to be congratulated, but feared."

"Fear what? A prosperous Empire whose only goal is to bring peace and fortune to its citizens?"

Classified to all Treaty of Saigon members:

*Classified*

The government is pumping 250 billion Imperial Sterling into the manufacture of equipment, weaponry and vehicles for the forces. Factories across the Empire are being constructed and those that currently exist are being expanded with productivity being pushed. Female conscripts are being drawn via lottery to provide women with a fully paid job working in munition factories. The Indian front remains are defended as ever, but fortifications never stop being upgraded. The government continue to draw up plans for potential invasions or assaults on numerous nations, and are also planning three major phases of a global strategy with a yet to be known purpose; Protocol X, Protocol Y, and Protocol Z.

"Yes, because you do so at the expense of other nations."


***Classified***

"Expense? If you are referring to India, the nation is twice as wealthy as it has ever been. Such a blind statement indeed."

"You refer to India as a nation...but yet also call it part of your Empire? which is it? You can't have it both ways."

"It is a nation that is among our brotherhood. It may not have full sovereignty, but never the less, we do not treat it like some sort of possession intended to be manipulated."

"They nevertheless had no choice in the matter--and as you say, they do not have full sovereignty. They are not a nation. They benefit the Empire at the expense of their sovereignty, when they could simply trade and gain all the benefits they may be getting now."

"Words, words and words. The Union will continue our diplomatic treatment to the British.. or lack of one."

OOC: This needs to die.

**Classified**

"A Greek Representative takes a helicopter to England and sets down at an airfield, hurrying to Buckingham Palace to meet with the new King"

OOC: ERP, or the Empire?

IC: ***Classified***

Of course, I'm surprised such isolationists mustered up the energy to say even that.

OOC: ERP

IC: ***Classified***

I hope those Indonesians don't know we have spies listening to what they say in classified conversations!

OOC: I think he was talking to you.

OOC: I call shens. How did they get there when I'm closed off? And how would you even know which office to bug?


OOC: No, I wasn't. I was talking ABOUT him.

OOC: No rule that says I can't.

OOC: Yes, thus my desire to have a massive war and quit while we are behind.

OOC: Actually, there is...I distinctly remember the rules say I have to be asked about my security measures before success/failure/somewhere in-between can be determined.

Rules which YOU made.

OOC: I made the rule before I was ousted as a GM and none of the ones who were up put it in, so the rule doesn't exist.

Unless you want it to, in which case you'll have to ask.

OOC: So does that mean I automatically have spies in your nation? That rule was never gotten rid of, so it is still valid. I didn't think YOU of all people would try to godmod...

OOC: le Gasp! Sarcasm from SKW.

OOC: No, it doesn't. At all. It just means I have spies in your nation. Also, the rule was never instituted in the first place. Never valid in the first place.

Duh.

OOC: Hmm, OK, then I want it instituted, and while you may possibly have spies in my nation, I refuse to recognize that they could have bugged an office they can't find.

Or transmitted any of it out of a paranoid nation under lockdown.

OOC: Even if you refuse to recognize it, it still exists.

Or, you could do the logical thing and realize that I'm not being serious.

OOC: I already told Sarah I'm too literal-minded. How many times do YOU have to see the results of that before you get it?

Also... *looks at the IC post that says otherwise...*

OOC: I get it. I know you're too literal-minded. It's why I do this.

The Republic of Mozambique is disturbed by the recent actions of the British Empire. We hope that this will not lead to anything serious.

OOC: I know it will XD

This is old. Between your imperialism and America's, there really are no 'good guys' anymore.

"Wait, what?"

"I am yet to understand what I have done that is not good for the people of the Empire. You people speak as though the British are going to conquer all of your nations and should be scared, heck you're probably all off somewhere now in a meeting, contemplating what on Earth you shall do to contain this 'menace'. We never have and never will invade a sovereign state with sufficient and stable control of their people unless as an act of war in response to a first strike."

The governments of Terra Australis and New Australia have collapsed into anarchy. Britain has always had a historically good relationship with the nations as a pair, so felt it our duty to send an expeditionary force to re-establish control in the region. Once a stable position is reached, the nations shall assess where to go from there.

OOC: Keep in mind, all the stuff that happened with Australia and beyond ('WW3') was wiped.

The Indonesian Archipelago has already sent an expedition to Australia before Britain.

OOC: Link?

As with Australia, we have noticed a similar situation in Italy and the Island of Sardinia. The government have been inactive for many months now, which is unfair to the Italian people. We shall treat them as we did with Australia, sending an expeditionary force, and then assessing the situation following control being established.

OOC: The latest post in my General Actions thread. I did label that one public, after all.

"As a gift to our allies in Greece for their continued support over the past few months, we have decided to cede a sector of the Italian Peninsula to their Empire."

OOC: Split Italy in half, horizontally. That includes the island of Sicily, but not the island of Sardinia.

Brasil has begun mobilising its military.

A general order for mobilization was issued to the Union military.

OOC: did i miss something? why are we mobilizing?
