The Queendom of Girltopia

[maddy]

OOC: I am RPing my actual ingame nation. I just thought this would be fun to do so please do not move this topic to fantasy RP because this is my ingame RP thanks!

[color="#4169E1"]Queen Madison walked out of her palace and looked around outside. The sunset was so beautiful. The sky was orange with other variating shades that even a rainbow didn't have. To her, this was the best part of the day, especially because she didn't have to do any paper work for anything or anyone at this time. Her daughter, the Princess, came scurrying out of the house and came up to her mother, "Charles said supper is ready..." she waited for her mother's reply, but the Queen's mind was set on the sky, "...Mom?" Madison blinked and then looked at her child, "Oh... Sorry darling. I will be coming inside in a few minutes..." Scarlet, the princess, sighed and went back into the pallace, her long blond hair bouncing behind her. A few "Council Girls" were walking by and the Queen waved to them. She loved her country; and wanted to make sure it would one day become a super power.[/color]

The Machine is observing Girltopia with mild interest.

[Mandolus]

The orange sky slowly turned to a million shades of violet, and gradually those shades of violet turned to two million shades of black. Night was quickly approaching in Girltopia. As the last traces of the sun vanished under the horizon, the Girltopian Symphony Orchestra played an ominous dirge in their annual concert. Little did the Girltopians know that a dirge was a very appropriate choice of music, since at that moment the Royal Mandolian Fleet's bombers were en route to unleash fiery death upon several key Girltopian political and military targets.

Freedom for all people regardless of gender was of fanatical importance to King Mandolus. He would abide Queen Madison's callous mistreatment of her male citizens no longer.

[Fizzydog]

Nos Tre Republic government would protest against but they have no moral values.

[lordliam]

Lordliam stares at the report, then stares back at the aide. His nation has been through many troubled times, and he hopes that no more are to come. Today, as the coffee on his desk becomes cold, and the muscles of the poor cabinet helper begin to freeze, his hopes have been dashed. The expression on his face alternates between excitement, dread, and confusion. Finally, the man picks up the cup and begins to drink. He realizes that it is no longer the warm cup he sent for, but rather a cold bitter mess. He looks up and realizes the aide is still there. "Thank you." He says, as the leader hands back the boy the report. As the aide's limbs begin to thaw and the poor boy bows and leaves the room, the great leader spins around his chair to face the windows and wonders: "This, shall be interesting".

OOC: First time RPing my actual nation. This shall be interesting.

[b]Somewhere Deep in The Machine[/b]

But for the quiet whirring of machinery and a gentle, repeated, unobtrusive beeping noise, there was little to interrupt the utter silence of the Chairman's Office. The enigmatic figure sat in a leather swivel chair; before him was a small metal desk, with a few folders with paper laid on it. A cigarette was held in the fingers of a leather gloved hand, which occasionally rose to his pale lips to take a small drag of the smoke before breathing it out slowly. Above his lips was a face with gaunt, pronounced cheekbones, and above those a visor-like pair of sunglasses. Ragged-ended, thick black hair fell around his neck, and he wore a simple, black suit with a black tie.

A second later, a synthesised voice broke into the calmness of the office.

"Chairman, the reports on political activity in Girltopia have been completed."

With a quiet whirring, a panel in the desk fell open, and a moment later returned with a small folder rested on it. The Chairman took up the folder and read through it. As he did his expression remained unmoving.

"I never thought I would see a matriarchal society actually rise in my lifetime, long as it will be," the Chairman remarked softly, gloved fingers rising to scrape his chin. And then, slightly louder, "Continue to watch this state. I find it...of interest."

[b][i]Scarlet, The Princess of Girltopia[/i][/b]

Scarlet stood silently outside by the lake... She watched the birds fly over and a cool breeze made her shiver. Being a 15 year old princess was a much harder job then it sounded... Only if she had a companion... A friend.[/color]

High above the stratosphere the gargantuan bulk of a warship slowly glided through space as it followed its planned orbit, watching the world below. The sunlight caught upon its armoured prow revealed horrendous damage across its hull; blackened, twisted metal where repeated nuclear strikes had struck it and missiles had penetrated its thick armour. Little of its exterior suggested any life save for the occasional flicker of internal lights and maneuvering thrusters firing to maintain its standard orbit above the world.
Upon both of the flight pods which housed the wings of attack craft, Vipers, Raptors and even a handful of outdated Cobras, was emblazoned a name: [i]Pegasus[/i].

Standing at the window of his office, a man wearing the ill fitting uniform of a commander looked down at the continents below and sighed. On the desk behind him a handful of intelligence reports lay unopened save for one on the Queendom of Girltopia.
The recent vote had gone better than he would have necessarily expected but it showed far less progress than he would have hoped for. Most nations had been able to leave behind the old ideas of placing one gender ahead of the other, but there were always a few who ignored any chance to progress past such petty discrimination.

Keying the codes to the CIC six levels above him, the commander unhooked a phone from the wall next to him. "Colonel," he said wearily "have our colonies in the East move to mid alert status and mobilise our ground forces.
Have our intelligence agents watch the outcome of the next series of votes for the Queendom of Girltopia. Move the ship into an orbit which will place us directly above the nation by the time their council releases its decisions upon the current matters."

[i][b]Her Majesty, Queen Madison O'Neil[/b][/i]

[i]My story isn't one to be over looked... My story is the story of my people. We are not native to this land... In fact we come from afar. All the way from Ireland...
See my great-grandmother and my grandmother left Ireland with a group of followers in the late 1800's during the Potato Famine... This group of 7,000,000 people were of Irish origin and 3,000,000 were of French origin. Now of course not all of these people walked right behind my great-grandmother and my grandmother. They took separate boats or would get to a city that my grandmother and mother had just left...

See the reason why my mother and grandmother left Ireland was not because of the lack of food; but because they were tired of being abused. They came into the New World, witch was sparsely inhabited, because that is exactly what they wanted. [i]A New World[/i] that they could start over in. Most of the followers were women at first. But when they finally made it to their destination it evened out to about 50 50.

These women all had a history of being abused by their friends, husbands, and former governments. They couldn't stand it any longer so they came to the Mew World to make the exact opposite of what they had left. A Queendom that women had more power, but not to where men were pushed into servitude. Only to where they could be stopped from hurting anyone.[/i]

After thinking about the story of her people, she stood at the podium in the palace and spoke to the cameras,

"Good afternoon everyone. I am happy to tell you all that more of our votes have smoothly gone through the Council of Women & Girls. You will all get a letter in the mail for these results but I am sure you will listen to the news before you get it in a few hours. And per request from all of you, we have kept health care private, pushing that we are intact a capitalist nation that trusts and supports freedom and capitalism. Is this a challenge to another nation to try to beat us in a game of Capitalism and Communism? Of course not. But let it be known that this is not a socialist nation. This is not a Communist nation. This is a Capitalist Queendom.

So to conclude my short message for the night; I ask any nation willing to step forward with any type of request to communicate with us because as of now we don't really know of any other nation that exists....... So please make yourself known so maybe we can be friends."[/color]

Capitalism. The one word that brought disgust to the Chairman of The Machine. That most vile of ideals, that most villainous of practices. Capitalism. The ideology that had doomed the economies of many a third world nation, and condemned their people to lives of poverty and starvation.

"It seems every day this nation becomes worse and worse," the Chairman murmured to himself, his eyes--or what was left of them--scanning over the reports behind the visor. In a nation where absolute equality--of work, of rights, of everything--was the norm, the mere thought of such favouring of women over men was ridiculous.

A statement was later released from The Machine, after which the nation returned to its state of absolute silence.

We had assumed most nations were beyond inequality. Girltopia, it seems, is a last bastion of injustice and discrimination.

It was some time later before a second reply was sent in response to Girltopia's broadcast:

[quote]To willingly nationalise such discrimination against human beings for they way they are born is something we rank amongst our highest crimes.

You have shown promise in putting such gender bias behind you, and as such our forces shall not directly move against you.

However, all convoys and supply routes which move through the territories of our colonies are closed to you.

We will be watching.

Her Majesty, Queen Madison O'Neil

I am intrigued by your nation. Please answer to following to help me understand your society

Should women have to pay for child support?
Should women have to pay for their spouses child non-biological child?
Can men get 7-8 months off while their spouse is with child?
How much would you pay for stud service?

I was in the middle of lunch when he burst into my office. "Shackle this man! And charge him" I said. "No sir, you don't understand. You haven't read this yet. The report is here." As the guards were searching him it was pulled from his back pocket. "What is the meaning of this?" I demanded.

The report was of the most sinister piece of paper to ever cross my desk. A matriarchal society has been established with unfair reports and almost abusive treatment towards men. It was at that moment I knew I was not going to be able to finish my lunch. The very thought of this kind of situation had turned my stomach. "Gather the council, they will want a piece of this".

The gavel banged as the meeting started." We gather here to discuss the fate of Girltopia for their crimes against men". Jeff, a stout man began, " sir why would we be discussing such matters? This has nothing to do with Drunkenville!" With a simple wave of my hand he was picked up from his chair by two guards, then executed in front of the others. "ANY ONE ELSE WANT TO QUESTION ME?" I inquired. "I believe that attacking them might cause some terrible conflicts with our allies. However, Sanctioning them might be a good start. I know how to prevent them from going forward in this mistreatment of others!" The council gasped as my eyes glazed over. I do not blame them, they just witnessed a man being executed. Terry, my most loyal follower was the first to break the awkward silence. " What kind of sanction were you considering sir?" With this I was pleased. "They are women and they are in need of certain things. As they are a small nation they import feminine hygiene products. We shall prevent any tampons and pads to Girltopia! Let them ruin their cloths and wallow in their own filth until they learn how to treat their men with respect." Steve bellowed "Sir, you sure do know how negotiate." As the meeting continued on, a smell was starting to fumigate the room from the corpse. "After this meeting is over send a letter to 'The Machine' they will want to know of our actions."

Your message has been processed, denied, approved, granted, rejected, lost, found, burned in a fire, trampled by a group of stampeding camels, used for archery practice, turned into a paper airplane, blasted into orbit around Earth, eaten by a Martian, regurgitated by said Martian, analysed by the ghost of Sigmund Freud, executed by firing squad, used for the script of a comedy film, confiscated once said comedy film was shut down, and then processed once again to be read by the Chairman.

The Machine takes a stance of apathy towards international politics as long as they do not involve this nation. Therefore, we shall not be involved in the nation of Girltopia.

'The Machine', I see that you processed, approved,and granted. I'm not sure what the rest was.Your message was either distorted or encrypted.

[Greywall]

OOC:This looks interesting and im bored so...


I can still see it...the fires burning throughout the city, the bodies in the streets, the small girl holding her teddy bear wandering the desolated ruins whimpering only one word over and over again 'mommy'. In the distance gunshots are being fired and men scream as their lives are taken away, this was the war that made me a hero, a leader, a glorified murder. The Hagrassan Revolution and The War of the Patriots two wars that freed us through bloodshed and gave us a new hope for our country-Greywall Prime Minister of the Hagrassan Republic

Greywall stood near a window looking over the capital, snow began to fall it would be a very cold winter in Hagrassa as it had always been. The citizens went about their buisness living their lives peacefully, but it wasn't always like this. Years ago the country was in civil war, rebels lead by Greywall himself overthrew the weak corrupt government and installed the Republic that now stood in its place only to fight a war against invaders that further burned and stained the country in blood. Now Hagrassa was at peace and free, but Greywall looked at the grey cloudy sky and simply sighed with disapointment his days of glory were over. Greywall's assistant walked in giving him his usual report on neighboring nations.

Assistant-"sir I have your report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

Greywall-still staring out the window "put on the table i'll look through it later"

Assistant-"eh alot has been going on sir, these countries are located near us I think at least I mean I do think that as the Prime Minister you have a duty to keep yourself up to date with these things"

Greywall-looks angerly at the assistant "Do you now?" walk to his desk and sits down still looking at the assistant "I built this country with a handful of brave men and a loaded gun" grabs the files containing the reports "but you think you know how I should do my job"

Assistant-"Im sorry sir, I didn't mean to offend you"

Greywall-"Our republic gives you have every right to, just for furture refrence...don't...ever do it again"

Assistant-"yes sir"

Greywall-"now then..." reads the file "what the hell is Girltopia?"

[i][u][b]Illarion, Kingdom of Thaen -[/b][/u][/i]

Queen Mara Lithaen sat in her office, reading the Illarion Times, viewing the state of the world at large. A light knocking came from the door. "Come in." said the Queen. Her aide, Laena, walked in, carrying a sheaf of papers."Here is the report on that large object in orbit, identified by the Loughridge Observatory as a ship named the 'Pegasus'." she said, handing Mara the report."Mass estimate... 44 million tons, good grief... more than a little radioactive, my my... seems to be armed, looks to be a carrier, maybe... hmm..." she reads, drumming her fingers after she finishes."And you say it is parked above that country, Girltopia... I wonder if they know. They should be informed, at any rate. And would you please inform me when Doctor Feldstein has completed that fascinating new weapon of his, I should like to have it if it turns out that we need to blow invaders from orbit... and send Girltopia a diplomatic envoy. I should like to meet their Queen."
