OOC: As promised to Lavos... a while back, things have been really busy with school and I can't afford to fall behind for the sake of my grades. But hopefully he's still letting me RP my nations existance here. This mostly draws it's history from The Music Box of Dreams Thread. I'll post a map change request in a day or two.

Over the past several weeks, the state of Greece had become incredibly unruly; small fire-fights flickered in the streets and cheers of the zealous muddled together in cacophony as the puppet masters spun their stories from behind the fallen iron curtain. The speckled images of gunfire mixed with drunken revelry of revolution that cascaded from the floodgates. The rush of the bedeviled souls that had been caught up in the great ferment of effervescence that was the Soviet dream. And to mark the great myth of rebirth, the souls of this twilight hour let blood to satisfy the laws of history with the life force of the wealthy, innocent and crooked alike.

From the naive viewpoint of western capitalist civilization, such wanton destruction would surely be viewed with great disdain and hopefully a bit of true human disgust. That was merely a childish view however propagated by the media outlet of your favorite televised tube. If the revolution is to secure a supporting party, the participants are labeled freedom fighters, if they are there to support a non-supporting component they are labeled terrorists. And if you have no stakes in the matter, they're not newsworthy over skate boarding dogs.

Viewpoints aside however, in the hours that followed those fateful set of orders, the loyal people's guard rose to the occasion armed with wild fantasies of a golden age of Greece, not seen since antiquity. The master crafters of myth that were seeking to safeguard their rise to power inspired this. And so, this was the manner in which it was done. The skies rained blood and fire as the sound of shattered glass cut the screams of the night and hot led rolled along the ground to sizzle on some crimson puddle or against some cold uncaring stone. By morning, the heavens seemed to be held aloft by a maze of smoky pillars as the world below stared at the dismal remnants of battle. Scratching their heads in some strange form of psychological amnesia as to what they had done. Respectable quiet, mild mannered individuals were haunted by visions of blood lust and violent criminals were shocked into hiding among the shadows... a few stolen possessions in hand that their former owners would no longer be of any need of.

The specter of the workers now rose itself above Greece, and she intended to speak. Dressed to play the part of the radical and with a smile set to kill, she more unleashed her words upon the world then revealed them, relishing this moment with an unhidable passion.

"People of the world, I am Chairwoman Temulin and I reveal to you the birth of a new workers paradise! Isn't it wonderful? A little marred by it's transformation, yes, but it's potential is overflowing, it's people desire to make change and they will not be held beneath the shackles of their overbearing masters any longer. What we the people here in Greece sought was peace and... while certain members were quite zealous to unleash some violence in the process, we are on the path to a brighter future, a great SOVIET future."

"In the months ahead as we combine our hands, the working masses will raise up a Communist nation unlike any the world has ever seen! As the people of this nation work together to build a new state in the coming red dawn, I welcome the leaders of the world to lend us your hands and in turn we will lend you our great new-found strength. A grand age awaits us all! Let us bury the past behind us and move forward with a cheer of joy!"

"We are open to all foreign diplomatic discussion and look forward to sharing our glorious revolution with the world!"

Of course... this last phrase might accidentally be misunderstood, but what she meant to say was that she looked forward to sharing the fruits they gained from their glorious revolution with the world, be that as it may... it seemed that the nation of Greece was now declaring itself an independent state.

A Caucasian AGM-86 Cruise Missile was fired at Athens without an order from the government.

Greecian Military Command is still coming together in light of the revolution... the explosion is just seen as another retaliation from the dieing off rich with some rumors going about that something flew in before the explosion.

OOC: Thanks for the warm welcome!

...and another 34 were launched at military centers in and around Athens. Still no order from the government.

OOC: Don't make me laugh, my bronchitis makes me cough really bad when I laugh.

Norwegian Military Control
"Sir? we are seeing cruise missiles coming from Caucasia and into Greece. What should we do?"
"That's a government job..."

To the Caucasian Government:
You may or not be aware that you have been firing a large number of missiles into Grecian lands. You may want to stop doing that if you are in control, as that would be one hell of an aggressive, uncalled for action, and if you are not, you may want to take some control.

"Norway welcomes this new nation to the world stage. Though we may not have the same view on the political stage, we look forward to working with you towards a better future."

**To Norwegian Government**
"What? We're launching cruise missiles? We never gave the order."

-HRH King James I

"Sir, we have reports of missiles being launched at a area trying to break away from the RA."

DeSchaine looked up form his desk. "Who's doing the shooting?"

"Looks to be Caucasia, sir."

The president mulled this over for a moment. "Oh well. Let them do as they will. If the new country can survive this, they'll be that much more prepared. Dismissed."

"Yes sir."

IC: "Zargathia welcomes the Greco-Soviet States into the World, and wishes it peace and prosperity."

OOC: No word about the missiles, i should really get some sats one of these days...

"We welcome the Greco-Soviet States to the world, though we express concern over the uncalled missile attacks from Caucasia."

Furon wishes the new nation well, but believes that Communism is destined to fail - only an equilibrium with Socialism can allow the people to rise up.

Yuktobania welcomes the Greco-Societ States to the international stage, we wish to schedule a meeting with the Communist state at your convenience.

"Recently, it seems unauthorized personnel entered military property and hacked into our launch systems. The perpetrators have been arrested."

Kivortistan also welcomes the Greco-Soviet States to the world, and would like to inform them that some of their military institutions are on fire and we ask if you want us to fire cruise missiles at the rest of your country to make it all look the same.

OOC: *Falls over laughing* C'mon Draked, he just got back from being nuked to oblivion, wait for the CM's until he starts messing in your business.

IC: The Temple lands didn't here of the new nations declaration, but Matthew chuckled at the reaction of other nations as he went over the news on his computer.

OOC: If you ever come into #cnrp I'm giving you ops

Well that tends to happen after a revolution, but in so much as we like the color red we'd prefer to use paint rather then fire-balls, but thank you for the offer. Here is a free rice-ration fruitcake for your offer, complete with an icing picture of the chairwoman's big toe as gratitude.



It's good to hear from our neighbors to the west, we have heard from many of the people's transport vessels of your nations good will and wonderful ports, we hope to continue to be on good terms with you in the future as well.



We'd be honored too, if you're interested, you can set up the time at your leisure, although our nation is still in a bit of chaos at the moment so it might be better if we were to come to you given the circumstances.



You should increase your security software, such mistakes could cause a global conflict. We suspect however, that the individuals involved have ties to the rebel factions that still haunt our nation. We will provide a list of individuals our intelligence has identified in order for you to better root out those who might be ultimately responsible.



Nonsense, Communism can't fail! It's a party! Thank you for your gracious welcome we hope that we will surprise you in the future.

OOC: If you don't mind Zarfef...

IC: A bunch of Soviet men walked into a Texan restaurant. A waitress greeted him. "Hello sir, welcome to Taco Bueno. How many people are in your party?"

One of them replied, "249,610,000."

OOC: 249,000,000 O_O, that's the population of the United States, that's a pretty big army.

OOC: That's about fifty million shy of the population of the United States.

"More communists? The world seems to forget that planned economies don't work very well." -President Uberstein.

OOC: I thought the Party was the entire population, not just the army.

OOC: Like people actually RP economy around here anyway...

OOC: 249 million is pretty darn close to the US's TOTAL pop., not military...

IC: "Promised Land recognizes this new nation. That is, unfortuantely, all we can do right now."
