[The Election Period Begins]

 

One of the most important election periods in the Dominion of Draka was about to start. Throughout the nation, millions lined up at the polls to decide the future of their nation. "Draka First!" was the common campaign slogan being thrown around by the Drakan National Party. The other political parties advocated peaceful coexistence and rehabilitation with the other African states; however, such words were put on deaf ears.

 

"You see, The Dominion of the Draka has it's back against the wall. Our so called African "brethren" have turned their backs on us. Therefore, we have already been exiled. To them, we are no longer African; therefore, we should no longer claim the identity. My fellow Drakan brethren; it is time for us to depend on ourselves! The future is ours!" - Elvira Naldorssen

[The Johan van Rensburg will not accept another appointment to Archon]

 

In a surprise announcement, Johan van Rensburg has stated that he will not accept another appointment to Archon, if asked following a victory from the Drakan National Party.

 

"I have been in the service of the state for eighteen years. It's been an honor and privilege; but it is time for some new blood to lead this nation. With that being said, I will be following today's elections, as a fellow Citizen of Draka. I am, just like many others, eager to see the results. Quite frankly, this is one of the most important elections in the history of this state."

"We find these thoughts by Madame Naldorssen very intriguing and sadly we cannot help but agree with many of the points raised. We are glad that the Draka National Party has such determined and patriotic minds within its ranks and we congratulate the DNP to their recent success in the elections."

-Helena de Grenville, President of the National Restoration Congress

[The Election Period Ends]

 

The most important election period in Drakan history came to an end with shocking results. Within twenty four hours, the Drakan National Party had achieved almost total control of the National Assembly. "Starting today, we begin to move towards our destiny, and we begin to reach for the stars. We are Draka!" Around the nation, thousands took to the streets in celebration. Within the headquarters of the National Centre Party and the Social Democratic Party, the mood was somber to optimistic at best. "The people of the Dominion have spoken, and we will respect that." the Chairman of the National Centre Party announced in a written statement. The Social Democratic Party, which promotes Pro-Africanism, wrote a statement similar to the Centre Party; however, internally the attitude was much different. "Elvira Naldorssen has started this nation down the path to damnation. Her words are going to drive this country into the pits of hell." the Centre Party chairman would state in a private conversation among his senior advisers.

 

The final results were published in the National Gazette.

 

The Drakan National Party - 79% representation in the National Assembly

National Centre Party - 10% representation in the National Assembly

Social Democratic Party - 11% representation in the National Assembly

[Elvira Naldorssen Appointed to Archon]

 

With the Drakan National Party winning elections, it came as no surprise that Elvira Naldorssen would be appointed to the position of Archon. For months, she preached about the Drakan dream; and now, she had the opportunity to make it come true. 

 

"Today, we begin the journey towards freedom. We begin the journey into one unified people. We become Draka. Make no mistake, there will be some that will compare us to failed ideologies of the past. Those failed ideologies put their focus on a singular superior race, that were destined to rule the world through their genetic birth-right. That is where the Nordic Socialist failed, and that is where we won't. The Draka do not focus on one but many. Our strength shall be in our numbers. We cannot rely on Africa, for they have abandoned us. We must depend on ourselves. As a unified people, we can rid ourselves of the racial and religious in differences that have plagued other nations on this continent. Look no further than the proud symbol of our nation. The bush knife is the weapon that we shall use to cut ourselves free from these primitive thoughts, while the chain is what we shall use to lock them away. My fellow Drakans, we are the dragon that will rise above all, as a quiet but ferocious beast. It is now time to dominate our present and future. Our time is now." - Elvira Naldorssen

[The First Agenda]

 

"Cost overruns and continued delays in the deployment of new weapons." That was the basic summary of over one dozen memos on the Archon's desk, from various individuals and entities in the Dominion. "This must come to end", Naldorssen would mutter herself, as she frustratingly tossed the last memo into the trash.  A number of representatives from the War Directorate and the Supreme General Staff would agree, citing the possible lowered effectiveness of the Armed Forces as one of the outcomes to this issue. In response, Naldorssen would issue an Archonal Decree.

 

From: The Office of the Archon

CC: The War Directorate, Supreme General Staff, and the National Assembly

Subject: Increasing the Efficiency of National Weapons Development

 

All independent Research and Development firms, dedicated to weapons research, will be merged into the Technical Section of the War Directorate. The War Directorate will now have direct control over the research and development of new weapons systems; and their eventual deployment.  This move is to increase overall efficiency and improve the effectiveness of our armed forces.

 

 

Signed,

Archon of the Dominion

[The Second Agenda]

 

"Dominarch Erikssen, please explain to me how this war in the Cape has lasted to long. We are fighting an enemy that has no real technological capabilities. To be blunt, those partisans are peons compared to us." Naldorssen asked in a curious tone. "How is this possible?"

 

The Chief of the Supreme General Staff, Dominarch John Erikssen adjusted his uniform and began to speak, "Your excellency, we haven't been allowed to fight this war to our full potential. You see, we have had to fight with our hands tied behind our backs. Perhaps, if those chains were cut, this war would be ended sooner. We must fight this war with unrestrained ferocity."

 

Naldorssen smirked, "Well, consider those chains to be cut, Dominarch. I have one request. Please do not go too far. I do not fear the National Assembly acquiring into this affair, but I do not feel like explaining to "Africa" about our dealings. We don't want some grand coalition coming after us.."

 

Dominarch Erikssen saluted and left the room. Within the next two hours, an ordered was dispatched from The Supreme General Staff to forces operating in the Cape.

 

From: The Supreme General Staff

CC: Office of the Archon, The War Directorate

 

Subject: Conflict in the Cape

 

As ordered by the Archon of the Dominion, we must commit to total war against the Cape. This war will no longer be conducted in a chivalrous fashion. These partisans must be taught the true meaning of Drakan justice.

 

Service to the State!

 

Supreme General Staff

[Animal Protection and Nature Conservation Act]

 

"We must preserve nature, for without nature the Draka wouldn't exist" was one of the many campaign slogans being thrown around by the Drakan National Party. Within weeks of their election victory, the National Assembly passed the Animal Protection and Nature Conservation Act. "On this day, we take up the fight for those that can't defend themselves."

 

The Act explicitly prohibited vivisection, banned commercial animal trapping, imposed severe restrictions on hunting, and regulated the shoeing of horses. In addition, the law also prohibited the use of animals in film-making and public events causing pain or damage to health. The act also allocated that over 10% of Draka territory is to be set aside as nature reserves, cleared of human populations.

[Developments in the Bio-technical Section of the War Directorate]

 

The Bio-technical Section of the War Directorate was a amalgamation of all countries biological research institutes, that were placed under the supervision of the War Directorate. Working in a vast network of high-tech, secret laboratories, The Bio-technical Section's thirty thousand employees researched and produced pathogenic weapons for war. In the past years, the Bio-technical Section had become more prominent in response to the worldwide ban on nuclear weapons. A prominent scientist would state,  "Despite the ban on nuclear weapons, we will find a way to devastate our enemies, except these weapons will have long-lasting effects."

 

The Bio-technical Section of the War Directorate would go on to weaponize the following pathogens:

 

  • Smallpox
  • Bubonic plague
  • Anthrax
  • Venezuelan equine encephalitis
  • Tularemia
  • Influenza
  • Brucellosis
  • Marburg virus
  • Ebola
  • Machupo virus
  • Veepox (hybrid of Venezuelan equine encephalitis with smallpox)
  • Ebolapox (hybrid of ebola with smallpox)

Most of these weapons would be mass produced and placed in hundreds of refrigerated, underground facilities.

[National Assembly Approves New Budget]

 

Citing a large increase in the nation's Gross Domestic Product (19.2 Trillion Aurics), the National Assembly has approved a new government budget that will significantly increase funding in vital areas of government. The National Defense Budget will be increased by eighteen percent (now five percent of the GDP), citing foreign and domestic issues. Another 16.5 percent of the government budget will go to national security and law enforcement. Education, housing, social care and healthcare, and all areas of government will receive a ten percent increase.

 

[The Procurement Section of the War Directorate *top secret*]

 

The Procurement Section of the War Directorate has approved the acquisition of seventy Lu-102 Super Heavy Strategic Transports (An-224 equivelents), eighty Lu-105 Heavy Transports (An-124 equivelents), three hundred fifty Lu-98 Medium Transports (C-17 Globemaster equivelents).

 

In addition, the Procurement Section has approved the acquisition of eight thousand "Centurion Advanced MLRS Systems" to replace the Drakan Army's older systems currently in service.

[Crafting a New Society]

 

"We are a new race, and a new society."

 

"The Final Society." This was the official party program designed to create the Drakan "superman". Officially supported by the Drakan National Party, the Drakan Final Society would be free of all humanistic limitations. While most other ideologies would go out there way to declare themselves the Master Race, the Draka would not. "We are a race that has ascended above the limitations of race, religion, and culture. Therefore, we are masters. The masters of our own destiny." Morally, the new Drakan are imbued with an ethic of honour, duty, courage, ferocious to their enemies but treating their friends with decency and kindliness, the qualities of what Nietzsche called a Herrenmoral.

 

The Drakan National Party placed a large emphasis on fitness. Physically - from the age of five, Citizen children spend two-thirds of their year in single-sex boarding schools, in which physical fitness is almost a religion. Military service in the Citizen Force, which begins at 18 and last for four years in peacetime, is universal for both sexes. Any Citizen who is later found to be below the required standard of fitness for his or her age is liable to a six-month recall.

 

In some aspects, the new Draka society could be compared to Sparta, although it values creativity more. As a society that is always preparing for the "Final Struggle.", the art of war necessarily holds a central place in Draka society. In any case, the virtues it inculcates are valued by the Draka, who would agree with Nietzsche in The Joyous Science "We rejoice in everything, which, like ourselves, loves danger, war and adventure – which does not make compromises, nor let itself be captured, conciliated or faced".

[Developments in the Chemical Section of the War Directorate]

 

"We are developing the ultimate chemical weapon."

 

Deep in the bowels of the Chemical Section of the War Directorate, scientist were busy developing a new "super" weapon. Much like the weapons developed by the Bio-technical Section, this would be a weapon designed to have long-lasting and deadly effects.

 

The weapon, in question,will be a combination of three radioactive fragments that are created through uranium-235 fission. The three radioactive fragments, Cesium 137, Radioiodine, and strontium-90, are highly unstable and radiactive and serve as the main executors of death and destruction.

 

The main incredients were obtained from various locations. Uranium-235, Radioiodine, and Strontium-90 were obtained from government nuclear waste sites throughout the nation.These deadly radioactive materials were combined to produce a potent and deadly permutation. In the end, this weapon will become one of the most deadly weapons in the world in liquid or chemical form.

 

In order to maintan the weapon's potency, Drakan Scientist developed a special underwater mixing method. Contact with oxygen can dilute the bsq/m2 levels levels of the agents. Water acts as a conductor and lubricant that allows the materials to maintain the highest level of radioactive effectiveness. The process of mixing and depositing the materials underwater takes 3 - 4 hours.

 

In weapon's simulations, the explosive impact of the weapon caused millions of deaths. While most nuclear fragments are absorbed through the air, the combined materials in this weapon will allow for the fragments to be absorbed through the skin and air.

 

Dosage of radiation between 1000 rem and 5000 rem can result in acute radiation poisoning and is fatal 90% of the time after two weeks. The weapon, itself, contains 9000 rem. Ten hours after exposure to such a weapon, the victim will begin to experience the walking ghost phase. While the irradiation has resulted in bone marrow destruction and death of many rapidly multiplying cells, the surface effects do not become apparent until later. For example, irradiation kills the rapidly dividing cells of the gastrointestinal tract; however, diarrhea is not apparent until the cells begin to slough off, coming out in bloody excrement.

 

Loss of this protective lining exposes the body to bacteria within the gut causing sepsis. Also, this causes an inability to absorb nutrition from food. This is the same with the rapidly proliferating cells of the immune system. Irradiation essentially halts white blood cell production by destroying bone marrow, however the remaining white blood cells within the body are still temporarily working, until they are "used up". Anemia develops more slowly, because preexisting red blood cells have a longer life span than white blood cells and platelets.

 

The effects on the environment will be severe as well. All lakes in the area will be contaminated; while, the air will be considered too hazardous to breath. Essentially, areas within a 200 mile radius of the bomb impact zone will be rendered completely uninhabitable for years to come.

 

In addition, because of the contaminated soil being whipped into the air constantly, there is a severe risk for Chromosomal Abnormality, Leukemia, and Anemia.

 

--

 

The War Directorate ordered the weapon into seriel production. In the end, five thousand weapons, in the form of ICBM warheads, artillery shells, and guided bombs, would be produced and placed into storage for strategic use.

Directive from the War Directorate

 

CC: Castle Tarleton, Supreme General Staff

Office of the Archon

 

Subject: Strategic Re-Deployments

 

*Top Secret*

 

With the need for Drakan Naval Assets being needed elsewhere despite the ongoing conflict in the Cape, The Cape theater will be undergoing a major reorganization of strategic assets.

 

I. The Drakan Fleet will dispatch one Mobile Offshore Base off the coast of "the Cape". With no credible enemy threats in the area, this base will become the strategic center of anti-partisan operations. Mobile Offshore Base deployments will begin immediately and be completed in one week.

 

II. With the Mobile Offshore Base becoming the center of strategic operations, Carrier Strike Group III and both Expeditionary Strike Groups will be withdrawn in three weeks.

 

III. Ground Forces commitments to the theater of operations will be increased by ten percent to cover the present casualties and reduce battle fatigue for units fighting in "the Cape".

Surrounded by a cadre of advisers from the War Directorate, Security Directorate and Supreme General Staff, Archon Elvira Naldorssen twiddled her thumbs, "Sierra Leone is active in the Cape?"

 

The Drakan intelligence agent nodded, "The country has declared war on us in support of the Cape. Support in the Cape would now be non-existent, with the way our air force is conducting operations. However, the point remains."

 

Naldorssen nodded, "Prepare for operations against Sierra Leone."

[Developments in the National Assembly]

 

During the last couple of days, the National Assembly was rife with activity. In a formal gesture towards the Archon, the Assembly approved direct military action against Sierra Leone, citing evidence of aggression against the Drakan state.

 

In addition, the subject of state security was one of the main topics of discussion, especially with the recent swarm of terrorist attacks throughout the Athenian Federation and the world. In response, the National Assembly overwhelmingly passed the Sabotage and Terrorism Acts, giving increased authority to the Security Directorate.

 

This Sabotage Act increased the powers of the Security Directorate. Officers of the Directorate were given powers of detention without charge and of solitary confinement. Section 17 made it possible to detain suspects for an unlimited period of time without authorization from a judge.

 

Furthermore, sabotage was made a capital crime by Section 21, punishable by death.  Terrorism was defined as "any act that endangered law and order, public safety, health or the free movement of traffic; which jeopardized the supply of fuel, food, water, light and power; or which hindered medical and municipal services. Anyone who trespassed on any land or building or who destroyed private and public property could also be penalized under the act."

 

Section 22 of the Act made a capital crime out of "receiving training that could further the objects of anti-political organizations or advocating abroad economic or social change in Draka by violent means through the aid of a foreign government or institution where the accused is a resident or former resident of the Dominion". It made provisions for imposing "sentences ranging from a minimum of five years' imprisonment to death for anyone leaving the country to learn sabotage techniques, for advocating the forcible overthrow of the government or for urging the forcible inter-venti on in domestic Drakan affairs by an outside power."

 

--

 

The Terrorism Act forbade any act of terrorism as well as any recruitment for military training, and it made participation in terrorist activities a capital crime

.

Terrorism was defined as "any act committed with the intention of endangering law and order or inciting to or conspiring in the commission of such an act, a separate offence and equated it to treason. Terrorist acts included murder, the possession of arms, ammunition or explosives and the receiving of military training".

 

"Section 6( 1) of the Act provided that if an officer, of or above the rank of lieutenant-colonel, had 'reason to believe' that someone was a 'terrorist', 'terrorism' being defined widely, or was withholding from the police information about such terrorists or offences under the Act, he might cause the person in question to be arrested without warrant and to be detained for interrogation. The section also provided that detention was to last until the Commissioner of Police was 'satisfied' that the detainee had 'satisfactorily replied to all questions or that no useful purpose will be served by his further detention'. Section 6(4) provided that the Directer of Security could order the release of the detainee at any time. Section 6(5) provided that 'No court of law shall pronounce on the validity of any action taken under this section, or order the release of any detainee.'. Thus it allowed for indefinite detention.

[Outside the Cape]

 

"MoB assembling is complete. Prepare for operations."

 

On board the massive Mobile Offshore Base, positioned off the coast of the Cape, hundreds of light transport aircraft landed in around the clock operations. These aircraft ferried in thousands of troops, vehicles, and other items needed to wage a modern guerrilla war. In the end, some three thousand troops would be positioned on the MoB. These troops would be dispatched to the Cape as reinforcements. When these troops are depleted, additional troops would be dispatched to the MoB. Cargo ships would also ferry in important items needed for sustained operations.

 

Fifty Corvus Gunships would be positioned on the MoB for constant around-the-clock operations.

[Preparing for Operations *Top Secret*]

 

"Report in."

 

"We will be in position within the next five hours."

 

Carrier Strike Group I and II sailed through the Atlantic at a moderate speed. On board their decks, the large super carriers began to prepare for operations. The crewmen scurried on the neck, fueling the hundreds of jet fighters. Behind the Carrier Strike Groups, the two Marine Expeditionary Groups would follow, after being re-equipped with the appropriate troops and material.

 

At one of the Dominion's Military Air Bases, three Airborne Legions were preparing for operations. Within two hours, these aircraft would be in the skies, heading towards their next destination in the North.

"The Archon is here. Are preparations complete?"

 

"Yes, sir."

 

Engineers from the Technical-Section of the War Directorate scurried about, preparing for the upcoming demonstration. On board the aircraft carrier Zerconius, Elvira Naldorssen, the Archon of the Dominion, stood among some of her closest advisers, preparing for the upcoming test. "Gentlemen", the Achon said in a calm, subtle voice, "Today, we take the next step forward. This new weapon will demonstrate the new power of Draka."

 

After speaking, the engineers escorted the group to a special viewing area on the carrier. "Your excellency, please wear these. These will protect your eyes during the following test."

 

Naldorssen nodded and placed on the special shades, just like the rest of her entourage.

 

"We are ready to begin the test. Begin countdown."

"The nuclear armaments test was a success; however, the Archon has ordered that nuclear weapon production will not proceed."

 

Strategos Ekerson groaned, "This would be the perfect weapon to bring an end to that quagmire in the Cape. We have lost thousands and spent billions."

 

Dominarch Erikssen nodded, "I agree. However, the Archon has ordered that the program will not proceed. As a matter of fact, she has ordered that the last test weapon be destroyed. It seems that this war must be won the traditional way, no matter how many of our young comrades have been killed."

 

"I respect the Archon. However, I don't respect her latest decision." Ekerson took a deep breathe and glanced over at the Security Directorate officials, "The Cape has been given a death sentence; we should make sure it's executed."

 

Erikssen smiled, "You are still that brash person that I met all those years ago. However, the order still stands, and I want you to make sure it's executed."

 

Erikkssen saluted and left the room.

 

After returning the salute, Ekerson looked at the document, containing the order for proper disposal. He muttered to himself, "There will be a slight change to the plan."
 

 

Note for proper disposal:

 

Test Weapon II will be dispatched to Nuclear Submarine "Goliath" for proper disposal. Weapon must be dispatched using the utmost secrecy.

 

 

Ekerson also dispatched a second note.

 

Dismissal of Service:

 

The Goliath has been chosen to participate in top secret operations, as ordered by the Archon. As such, I will be assuming direct command for the duration of these exercises.

"Glory to the state!"

 

"It's an honor to have you on board Strategos Ekerson"

 

Ekerson waved his hand, "At ease Captain. As you know, this ship has been selected to dispose nuclear test weapon II. Here are the documents, signed by Her Excellency the Archon."

 

The Strategos handed over a dossier containing the fake documents.

 

The Captain scanned over the documents, "We are scheduled to take part in the testing of a new missile? Most interesting, I look forward to the results.

 

Ekerson nodded, "I do as well."

On board the Arsenal Ship Glory, a logistics officer checked out the list of armaments, which were just loaded onto the submarine. "All the serial numbers check out just fine, except for this one."

 

Another officer chimed in, "Do we know where this warhead came from?"

 

"Test II Weapon. Must be a clerical error or something top secret. You know how those people in the War Directorate treat their "top secret" weapon's test. Anyway, advise the Captain that this ship is ready for operations."

 

*beep beep beep beep*

 

"Report to battle stations"

 

"We are receiving an incoming list of targets."

 

Ekerson interjected, "No no, we shall test our new weapon."
