Bull Run

Several weeks of media blackout & downed communication to & from the outside world had left the nation nearly crippled. A massive surplus of products, supplies, & raw materials lies idle in newly constructed warehouses from the rally for resources prapared by the nation for Pacific trade markets. The collapse of the Pacific Trade Forum & end of communications had left the nation with ready materials that have largely been witheld from the public in the hopes to prevent a massive drop in prices. Time & time again Denekin had witnessed the Corporate stranglehold on his government & the nation at large tighten & in a surprising show of strength; Denikin pulled his support to render the established Corporate state VOID. A Coporate Holiday saw mettings ordered to an end & several Corporate heads arrested for several varying consipracy & corruption charges. The small parade of black cloaked figures made their way up the icy steps of the Building of Governance. The trials had come & gone with relative ease aside from public outrage against what they understood to be a Fascist conspiracy. At the end of the scandal Denikin was seen as a hero & was pressured now to lead the nation in yet another direction. The government had assumed sole control over the Warehousing & Production Storage Project which where opened to military & government employed use. As Denekin saught a new leadership to appease his people's interest, Socialism became the most favoured system among those in his cabinet perhaps similar to the Empire from which they gained independance. Vauleo-Buryatia was seen as a model for what would need to become a stable government system over the nation. Announcement of the change in system was met with mixed emotion, but with access to a huge pool of supplies, Socialist supporters were seen as a superior force to rekon with in the event of open conflict. Revolution was out of the question, & the most radical of Denekin's oposition quickly found themselves in full support of the move. Pulling from the Vauleo & Soviet systems the new government would not be complete any time soon, "a work in progress" seemed to be the most prominent phrase in most regards of the nation. The media blackout would continue until the nation was deemed "ready" to reopen to the outside world; communication with Vauleo-Buryatia however would be followed up immediatly. The Kamchatka Soviet Socialist Republic had come into existance, for the sake of the nation, the new government would prepare to go to new extremes to keep it that way.

April 20, constant public pressure as well as pressure from within his own cabinet forces Yukio to allow for elections throughout the Union, the first elections ever for the new nation. The population begins speculation & preperation on the comming elections. Enthusiasm is in the air as the people begin to form small political parties. 3 weeks later, Denikin gains political momentum with his populist speeches & 'common folk' stance. Denikin also begins to court a number of Commercial interests, attracting the desperate & largely idle industrial sector of the nation. Yukio forms the New Voice Party, which immediatly atracts hundreds. Denikin considers forming his own political party, but several corporate meetings pull him away from critical political conferences. 5 months later, Denikin has forged ties between corporations who back a sweeping political campaign that threatens Yukio's New Voice Party. Heavily backed by Kamchatka industries, Denikin launches his United Endeavour Party, a highly televised & well funded presentation. A burst of membership hits Denikin's party, now following close 2nd to the N.V.P. and growing fast. The nations waits silently as the first elction results are prepared. Hours of counting, much of which was done by hand final ends with the announcement hitting every radio & on television set nation-wide. Anton Denikin has been elected President by a landslide. The Nation is locked in instant celebration as their first elections have come & gone. Horror came late at night when news of Yukio's ritual Samuri suicide reaches the public. [img]http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/07acdPj2cdb5O/610x.jpg[/img] 4 months ago, the nation has calmed from news, both good & bad and speculates again, curiously at several new policies & rapid industrialization of the entire country. Political news has fallen to the wayside (other than high praise & looking back on the success of the first election) to the, perhaps overblown invistigation into Yukio's suicide. The man believed to have helped Yukio carry out the ritual suicide was found dead in the Kamchata mountains. 2 days ago, Industrial & Corporate behemoths finalize agreements with the new government on terms not yet certain to the public who have seen the nation industrialize around them. Today, the Government (known now as the Supreme Directorate) dissolves the Greater Kamchatka Union, & establishes IndusCorp International, a merging of several Corporate & Industrial entities along with the state. The people are now served with the vote to elect local governmental councils who will form a Govorning Body of the Populus, led by President Denikin. Denikin and his Cabinet oversee the Supreme Directorate of IndusCorp.

Take for example the issue of a certain amount of reliance on foreign corporations involved in nationalized industries and in control of single or group of domestic & sanctioned companies. If Pacific nation partners' corporations could take the place of foreign companies in involvement in certain industries then bans or limitations would not threaten the economy of the nation in question.

[quote name='Mergerberger II' date='02 May 2010 - 02:47 PM' timestamp='1272836825' post='2284180'] The concern of limitations and bans on foreign corporations involved in industries that are considered to be nationalized and in control of a single company or group of sanctioned companies, all domestic, remains up in the air. [/quote] Perhaps, then, an endevour that should most be saught by this agreement is Pacific self sustainability?

[quote name='Subtleknifewielder' date='30 April 2010 - 05:25 PM' timestamp='1272673507' post='2281913'] So, in essence, if a partner in this enterprise were threatened or embargoed, the hostile nation in question would find itself embargoed. A fairly straightforward solution, and hardly objectionable. [/quote] We agree. [quote name='Triyun' date='02 May 2010 - 09:51 AM' timestamp='1272819064' post='2283868'] We believe that Novak, the Slavic Federation, Slavo Russia, and Rebel Army should be invited to this forum. We would also like to propose to the nations of the Eastern Hemisphere that we agree to a summit to discuss a no-nuclear first strike policy to span across the hemisphere. There is no such thing as limited nuclear war, and these weapons have the potential to ruin the underlying basis of economic growth in the Pacific, access to clean water and food. Should these weapons ever be used again in this hemisphere, we fear for the environment which all our children shall grow up in. [/quote] If you join in partnership you certainly have a say in such invitiations. Also, Nuclear policy of the partner nations is innitially not a major concern of the partnership unless made so by the Supreme Body. Broad defence planning will remain so unless the issue of market security is decidedly a major issue that will be addressed by the Body. Under the issue of Pacific enviromental protection, however, your concerns may carry more weight. [quote name='Mergerberger II' date='02 May 2010 - 01:10 PM' timestamp='1272831036' post='2284041'] [size=2]The Republic of Vietnam, still an emerging power in the Pacific, is currently not prepared to endure a Pacific-wide free market. First, we have the many of the same concerns as the Buraytian representative, none of which, I believe, you effectively answered. The Republic of Vietnam does not have a free economy, or rather it will not once the legislation, currently being debated in Parliament, is finally passed. Basic government oversight into our economy is key to ensuring that the people of Vietnam have a respectable, good life, free from the corporate tyranny inherent in the free market design. Basic laws against child labor, a short work day, vacation time, among others are key to this goal. For this reason we are not supportive of a free market across the Pacific, which, with what you have implied, would demand all regulations be ceased within all nations and corporations allowed to do as they please. For this reason, we ask the basic question: Does an involved party need to have a Free Market economy to enter into this pact? A second concern of Vietnam, considering how, as already mentioned, we are still a rising economic power, is the limitation of certain industries to domestic corporations and interests for the reasons of national security or simply national prosperity. These limitations are achieved with tariffs and strict embargoes on foreign corporations representing these industries. How would these policies be affected by this new bloc?[/size] [size=2] This raises another concern of the Republic. You state that the market will be a free market, yet you also state that goods and services will move in and out of Pacific nations with "precision" and "means". Precision and means both entail control. If there is control over the market, it cannot be construed as free. Precision also entails command, that is, a command economy. The Republic would not be interested in a bloc which regulates which goods can flow in and out of our sphere based on from whom and where they are coming. Could you clarify?[/size] [/quote] I suppose after all is said & done this is a mixed market. Not fully Commanded by, but certainly supervised & regulated by a body of participants. Also, on the question of free market systems; the partnership would not force any market system on a partner nor is it required. Personally, I do not see why a nation could not maintain its own prefered system. This is economic partnership; far short of free market assimilation.

As it stands now (in theory) this economic partnership [b]will not[/b] interfere with individual national economic systems. Its defence would not be comprised of a standing armed force, but economic Safety Nets & Net teams responsible for monitoring partnership trade & transportation movements as well as providing any market updates to the Body. An entirely Free market will be in use overseen by the Partnership Supervising Body who each carry 1 vote for their nation &the power to Veto as their right as investors & partners in our market. Economic leverage for partners under foreign (including nations of the Pacific but not partnered) embargo would be among the means of Economic Defence for partners. Also. Free trade among partners would be guaranteed.

[quote name='iamthey' date='28 April 2010 - 05:16 PM' timestamp='1272500201' post='2279078'] Greater Pacifica requests clarification of what this entails. No one power "should" be allowed monopoly over a system designed for partnered use; it "should not" become the tool of one overpowering entity. I use the word "should" & "should not" because we want to stress the fact that rules & workings of the partnership would, after all, be decided upon by participants. What we have offered to all of you is a central starting point to begin a new economic system for Asia, Oceania, & America. One with broad & basic guidelines & examples reached by a brainstorming crew of economists. The real decisions will be made by the partnership. All we really ask is your cooperation & efforts in giving life to a revolutionary system & a new era of trade & marketing. Giving the partnership a try presents no danger to our economies, & should it succesfully launch, amount to a prosperous New Era; civilization would take a great leap forward in mass scale trade, economics, & global marketing & business. And don't these last two points contradict themselves as a free market provides that free competition and the natural emergence of the regional market will determine its structure. While the other implies a sort of intervention by an overseeing body to ensure that no one power can develop an economic hegemony or monopoly in any one sector? Also what measures would be taken to ensure that a single power didn't gain dominance? If the committee would ultimately determine such things how are decisions made, do all participating nations receive a veto, or is it made by majority and therefore an issue of sovereignty? Point is, if this group ultimately will have any significant say over pacifican economic policy then our participation will be limited at best. [/quote] We did anticipate a free Inernational Pacific (Asian, Oceanic, & American) market with Supreme Supervision (far short of manipulative control) falling to the partner nations invested in it. Free trade bewteen partners, while Pacific goods & services not traded between Partners would accumulate into to a pool of said goods & services to be traded with the World market (nations not in partnership with the Pacific Trade & Marketing Federation). Of course this is merely the "concept blueprint" of sorts established by the Diractorate & is by no means final, as the Supreme Body of Economic Partners would decide what is final. Obviously this system was not made perfect, but it was made with all the potential to be so. That said, any and all suggestions are more than welcome from all in antendance. We can make this happen if we make it together & make it right.

[quote]... 1) Does the proposed economic entity require states to 'open' their markets to competition from other member states as a condition of membership? 2) If a state has chosen to protect a particular economic sector from external competition, would the proposed economic entity frown upon this? 3) Would a state be required to have an entirely 'free' market prior to entry into this organization, and would the organization seek to encourage the creation of a market economy in that state? That is all"-Vauleyo-Buryatian Representative[/quote] The Pacific Market does not force nor require a change in market from nations who participate in it. The market at large, that being the Market of participating Pacific nations would be "free". Though with supervision & overseeing of the market provided by all participants, essentially the entire market will be shaped by the nations in participation. What we (we being the Directorate of the PTMF) had forseen was a free and open market where goods & services moving into or out of the Pacific did so with precision & with extremely efficiant & most prosperous means to those in participation. In short, each partner nation is free to determine & excersize their own best means as well as extent of marketing on the large scale market. I hope this answers your questions. [quote]When we were invited to this summit we were told this would be for Asian rather than Pacific prosperity. We have many friends in Asia whose homeland are not on the Pacific Coast yet we consider them part of our community. We also do not necessarily extend that same feeling towards those on the west coast of the Americas. [/quote] We should clarify that the term "Pacific" entitles to the Continent/Regions bordering our Ocean, that being Asia, Oceania, & America. If you could specify as to which nation(s) you do not particularly hold in positive interest, we might better address your issues with this partnership.

"But I have a question. In your second goal, you say 'Unified Defence against non-Pacific intervention.' What sort of intervention, and what sort of defence?

(OOC: No Need to RP arrivals, assume all who are going to participate where/are in some way in attendence so we may go straight into the RP dialogue) [center][img]http://www.indianholiday.com/images/oberoi-venya-vilas/7.jpg[/img][/center] Political representatives along with Corporate & Industrial leaders steadily make their way into the elegant conference hall, purchased & remodeled by cooperating business giants within Kamchatka, eager to press forward economically for the new Union. Open strictly for nations of the Pacific, & ensuring the privacy of discussion to those in attendance from all who were not. Corporate & Industrial powers from the GKU have organized into a marketing union to better manage the difficult burden of lifting the new nations economy from stagnancy. In depth cooperation & planning among many economic powers of the Pacific have culminated into this grand forum, to discuss a Trade & Marketing cooperation beyond all limits of those seen in the past of the Pacific & for the Pacific. To Establish an entity for a Pacific economic & trading hub, opening access to Asian, Oceanic, & even American resources & markets, this economic evolution will stand as an instrument for Pacific markets, a powerful tool to wield to the rest of the economic world. The Pacific has been selected as the beacon of future global economic dominance & raw indutstrial power. Presented to the attendees is the Pacific Trade & Markets Federation; a union of Pacific Economic power players & their civilian leadership, overseeing the new Grand Pacific Marketplace where all invested will have a say & will supervise over its policies. Membership rests soley on a nation's economic [b]investment[/b] into the Pacific Market, rather than a fancy signature & sincere word. The Federation's internal working will be governed by a Directorate seated in Kamchatka, while the Pacific market will be run by economic representatives from each respective Partner Nation, chosen at each nations descretion. Food & drinks have been served and soon the small noise dies down. A speaker greats the attendees, presenting himself to be among the Directorate of the Pacific Trade & Markets Federation. He bows slightly then begins as he stares hard & the walls & ceiling then finally allowing his eyes to rest among the seated men & women. [i] "What we present to you today, is the foundation of a great new marketplace for the economies of Asia, Oceania, & West Coast of the Americas to be completely run by Pacific Parter Nations, who will reap the benefits of a Mamoth New trading hub private to the Pacific Powers & weild unchallengable economic strength to tho global market. We will sincronize & incredibly increase prosperity among Pacific Partners, to surge ahead the rest of the world in economic dominence. The goal of this cooperation is to seek & excersize a more perfect means to best utilize the Pacific's resources for the progress of trade, healthy market prosperity & economic strengthening of all Pacific Market Partners. We maintain the belief & foundation that Innovation leads to economic growth, in turn leading to a higher standard of living And this is by far the Greatest Innovation to reach the World, much more the Pacific Marketplace. Our own nations will guide Our own markets. Presented here is a list of certain objectives we should seek to reach & maintain:"[/i] [list] [*]End of small monopolized trade & market establishments[/list] [list] [*]Unified Defence against non-Pacific intervention &/or protection from embargo on Pacific economies[/list] [list] [*]Securing best means of distribution of goods & services of the Pacific market [/list] [list] [*]Protection from single power dominence over Pacific Market [/list] [list] [*]Keep availabile trade Goods & Services & insure payments are made on time [/list] [list] [*]Establish a Safety Net to protect partners in times of War & Disaster [/list] [list] [*]Oversee an Economically Free Pacific Market [/list] [list] [*]Overseen & supervised by the Supreme Body of Economic Partners, held by representatives of each Market Partner [/list] [list] [*]Direct effect on Decisions through interaction between buyers & sellers by the Laws of Supply & Demand [/list] [i]"The Supreme Body will regulate activities of this trade & marketing hub on issues such as establishing solid & common trade routes, wether or not & how much to tax established routes, defence of transportation & production means, as well as policies for Pacific economic interaction with the rest of the world. Again these are just a few examples. Prosperous Business between Powers has the capacity to Supercede the long standing destructive influence & barbarism of geopolitics. The Pacific can now be the shining capital of the world economy. And this is completely in the hands of the men & women in attendance today. You may leave this forum today & never think back at this again or join in part of an evolution to bring the Pacific Market to the pinicle of the Global Economy."[/i] The speaker remains where he is & prepares to take feedback, questions, or acceptances to the joint proposal.

After light deliberation & a quick phone call to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a decision was prepared. The offer had fulfilled the extent of their goals & without further hesitation Anton Denikin agreed to sign the final agreement. As he turned and shook hands with the diplomats and Deputy President, Denikin had one last matter to discuss, [i]"As your new neighbor & younger brother to your empire in nationhood, we now single out our highest interest to be in close economic ties with Vauleyo-Buryatia. What say you to this matter?"[/i]

[i] Signed, Anton Denikin -Greater Kamchatka Union[/i] An exchange of condolences & handshakes followed the signing of the SIA. Anton was said to have stated, [i]"Today a union is forged; a promising nation established."[/i] The representative party, under the direction of Anton, accepted the invitation for negotiations in the Magadan Oblast. They would then depart immediatly.

Aleged former General, Anton Denikin appeared out of his private plane into the administrative center, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky; the defacto political capital of the provisional & officially pending government of the Union. He had long spent costly & ardent campaigns for politcal seating throughout Russia, but to no avail. He found this new union, & its infant government to perhaps be his chance to some political power. The people of this region where not used to the site of even a somewhat powerful entity like the supposed ex General, and flocked to him with great admiration. He was outright & quite blunt with his announcement: [i]"I come for one sole reason. To aid my brothers & sisters in the manifestation of a new vision & the solidification of great promise. You seek nationhood now, & in your time of need I offer my services. Obviously, my past experience & services are beyond efficiant to lead a young nation to achieve just that; nationhood. Allow me a position in office & our nation will strive."[/i] Departing from the small crowd, Denikin led his entourage through the city center & into the Central Hall of Governance. Days of annoying phone calls & uninvited sit ins in provisional Union government meetings, Denikin finally wedged his way into Yukiro's government. Vice President Denikin would be among the small group of officials dispatched to Vauleo-Buryatia. [img]http://www.corbisimages.com/images/67/8DE7A69E-9A30-4F60-8302-765E88967828/SF22832.jpg[/img]

The American Continental Confederacy has collapsed & the land has rejoined the rest of the Mexican protectorate of Lousiana, Northern Republic, & Holy American Empire.

[center][img]http://www.splicetoday.com/vault/posts/0000/2429/ymish_large.jpg[/img][/center] The icy towns of the Kamchatka Oblast in East Russia have long remained quiet, & unsturred. Daily life in the protectorate..fisherman & seasoned sailors constantly roam the docks & snowy streets of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Idealy, woman in the cities rush their children to school while they prepare a lunch for their sailor husbands, before going off to power the oblast's popular tourist industry. In reality, most women did not work simply because of the lack of work. Couples who could not find work often fled north or south & in turn, the area's population had been dwindling. Quiet existance of the towns threatened to become dead silence as families left for work elsewhere. A young sailor Yokio Mashimov, a Russo-Japanese, had been born in one of Kamchatka's small villages but spent most of his young life on the seas. His life as a student had been spent in Japan where he studied Japanese language, culture & government; this sparked an dream in Yokio for something more. Something grand. He began making small talk with the companions, mostly Russian sailors. He complained about the increasing difficulty of life in Kamchatka, the falling price of fish, & the exodus of many old friends & family. His complaints struck deep into the hearts of the men who heard, because his words precisely mirrored their thaughts. Many of the sailors were uneducated & along with teaching them how to read & write, Yokio convinced them that they could have a voice in their government if they could only summon the will & gather a following for change. Looking up to the young educated man with increasing adherence, the group of 16 soon included their wives, town fishermen & miners. The movement of nearly 200 broke the silence of the quiet towns one cold morning with a march through several large streets. The march had acheived nothing concrete, but now they had attention. And what was more important was that to those who participated & witnessed, it gave unwavering hope. Eventually the local radio station invited Yokio to speak on the new politcal movement in the oblast; this would become Yokio's first speech. Over the coarse of the next month, nearly the entire region of about 400,000 people knew who Yokio was, heard his words for creating jobs, bringing growth to the region, even forging a new nation & it was not long before they formed a new government & applied for independance from the protection of the Vauleo-Buryations, with the guerentee of the revertion of territory back to Vauleo-Buryation protection regardless of any other signed agreement, should the government collapse.

General Jackson braught forth the envoy of the Confederacy's end with his parting from the Confederacy along with a small army of 4000 men. This monumental act snowballed, slicing a rift between the nation's civilian & military leaders. With the defection of effectively the entire Confederate militarty unity in the homeland quickly shattered. The nation cannot recover from this alone & the Confederate government has united again, one last time, to issue a plea for protection to Lousiana, the Northern Republic & the Holy American Empire. The American Continental Confederacy has collapsed. OOC: Rerolling

[color="#8B0000"][size="2"][b]War Department[/b][/size] The Confederate Congress of States has already formulated a Department of State, Department of Justice, & the Treasury Department. Due to the official state of war, States have scrambled to make adequate combat preperations. While finances are straight, elevated war production has kicked the economy into high gear. Today, the Confederate War Department has been completed & established by the President & our Congress of States. The War Department has intigrated jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to the Confederate military & subject only to the approval of the Confederate President. An official Continental Confederate Army has been established to act as the regular army of the ACC. During wartime, a volunteer army will also be called upon; the Provisional Confederate Army. This Provisional Army authorises troops to serve 6 month to full year terms, or as long as conflict persists and prolonged service is necessary. Pulling together a War Department had seemed a daunting task, but has moved along quickly & efficiantly; made easier by the urgency of Wartime. Confederate Military & Civilian commanders have worked & spoke together in a spectacular show of harmonious sincronicity to establish a Confederate War Department.[/color]

[color="#8B0000"][b][size="2"]States Establish an Identity[/size][/b] As the States complete their new government, sweeping changes continue to avalanche throughout the nation. Today, the Confederate Congress adopts the Blood-Stained Banner as the national flag: [img]http://www.cottage-industries.com/storeimages/thirdnational.gif[/img] Along with a national banner, an anthem has also been selected: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTpi38AGTtU&feature=related"]Anthem of the Continental Confederacy[/url]. Other changes include the issuence of Treasury Bonds to raise much needed money to replenish the dwindling Treasury of the States. The Confederate government has promised to repay the large & growing debt owed to the Holy American Empire. Innitial funding not set aside for the Confederacy will be sent immediatly to make late payments for purchased H.A.E. military arms. This endevour has been undertaken by a new Confederate financial commitee. Military & legal commitees have also been formed. [/color]

Revolution & hopes of Continental peace kept the nation out of conflict in the early days of the war, but now many claim peace in the America's may be forever threatened if the wars results fall in favor of our allies' rivals. With full scale war now being carried out by the nation's close ally, the H.A.E., many staunch anti-war politicians now lean towards involvment.
