MostGloriousLeader

[u][i][b]Present Day[/b][/i][/u] Kona Tulha was sitting in his rather grand office in the Ministry of Internal Affairs building. This was the position his organization had hoped him to get. As the leader of the Drengin tribe Kona was virtually assured loyalty from the new National Intelligence Agency, composed mostly of Drengin personnel. He was working on his computer when his secretary announced that he had an unscheduled visitor. He told her to let him in and pushed one of several buttons under his desk to start a video recording of his session. The man walked in, a rather handsome fellow who was somewhat shorter than him. He took a seat without being asked and said "Are you prepared?". This of course was Dartud Glovt, the former leader of the Drengin intelligence apparatus. Since that fateful meeting a year ago he had gotten plastic surgery and assumed a new identity (mostly cause he was now a man wanted for murder and war crimes). Kona was rather hesitant in asking and delayed giving a response for several minutes while he pondered what to say next, something that made most people uncomfortable with the long silence and whatnot. Three silent minutes passed before he spoke. "Are you really sure that this is a necessary course of action?". Glovt eyes lit up in shock. "What do you mean is this a necessary course of action? We agreed to this over a year ago as a very necessary course of action!" Kona didn't flinch when he was shouted at, merely thinking some more. "I may be a part of the Dread Lords but I am also the leader of the Drengin people. Ever since this nation was created they've been happy. Everyone's been happy. No more war, no more fighting, we are finally gaining a large measure of peace." Glovt couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You said yourself what we planned was going to be necessary to preserve the sovereignty of OUR people!" Kona replied in a calm and measured voice. "I know but that was based on the situation of the time. Our people are happy and content with what we have created. I do not wish to do otherwise until there are signs of the new government trying to erase our cultural identity." Glovt was red faced and furious. "BY THE TIME THAT HAPPENS IT WILL BE TOO LATE! EVERY PASSING DAY ALLOWS THE NEW GOVERNMENT TO CONSOLIDATE MORE POWER! WE MUST STRIKE SOON WHILE THE NEW GOVERNMENT IS STILL VULNERABLE!" Glovt calmed down and took a deep breath before speaking in a more reasonable tone. "It is still several days until the operation proceeds. You will have several days to 'ponder' your position on the matter. Then you must make a decision. I must speak with the other Dread Lords about this development that you've created." With that Glovt calmly walked out of the room and closed the door, thanking Kona for his time on the way out. Kona sat at his desk and was deep in thought. He knew that he had to make a decision soon. Which side to pick was going to be an extremely difficult one. On the one hand his 'loyalty' to the new nation was actually pushing him towards going against the Dread Lords. Problematic, as most Drengins didn't really embrace the concept of loyalty except for to their own people as a whole. He was thinking like a damn Arcean. On the other hand to go against the government (with a very high chance of succeeding) would shatter the nation and the stability of the region but he stood to gain much personal power and influence (even if it was not highly visible). He told his secretary to cancel his appointments for the next several days and that he was feeling rather sick and wouldn't be coming to work for several days. There was much to think about.

[i]The Dread Lords are a well known myth throughout Altarian society. For hundreds of years tales and rumors abounded of an extremely secretive society that was the "real" power that decided what went on in the region now known as the Altarian Republic. There has never been any physical evidence of the existence of such an organization and no government official has ever acknowledged it as nothing more than a tale to frighten children or a crackpot conspiracy theory. Such an vast influence couldn't have possibly existed all this time without there ever having concrete proof by now. Yet for hundreds of years many intelligence operatives had stumbled onto something amazing before they vanish without a trace, never to be heard from again. Perhaps it was just the risk that spies took catching up with them. Then again, maybe there was some credibility to the many stories.[/i] [u][i][b]One year before the formation of the Republic[/b][/i][/u] In the Drengin capital of Drengonia a grand mansion stood atop a hilltop. This was the residence of an important Drengin Chieftain. Specifically the Chieftan Dartud Glovt who was in charge of the widely feared Drengin intelligence apparatus. He was sitting on a very comfortable chair at a rather large table that had four other seats. There were servants in attendance at each one, all provided by his own intelligence forces. The notable figures sitting at the table included the Korx Havel Udul (the CEO of a well established transartic corporation), the infamous General Dragos (leader of the Drengin Army) and Eligt Brogs, a highly influential Altarian politician. There was also a seat at the head of the table that remained unoccupied.Glovt rose from his chair to address his assembled guests "I am sure you have all heard by now that the Drengin Armed forces have been decisively crushed at the Battle of Auyuittuq not more than one hour ago." To this General Dragos gave Glovt a piercing glare which would have made most others cringe. Glovt ignored it and kept going. "With this defeat we no longer have the ability to resist the growing desire for the establishment of a new nation unifying the various tribes. When, and I say WHEN, this eventually happens you all know that our power and influence over this region will begin to evaporate. Many of us will become wanted men, hunted and hounded by the new national government. None of that really matters right now though. We are all well connected and financed enough to hide out and survive the coming storm. It is what we do after it comes that will determine whether or not our organization will survive into the future or die. Make no mistake the Dread Lords are facing annihilation, more so than it ever has for hundreds of years." The doors are opened by two of Glovt's guards and a man walks in and sits down at the formerly empty seat. "It is nice of you to finally join us Kona Tulha". To this effect everyone gazed upon the newcomer whom most of them had never met before but had heard much about. "We all know that the Leader of the Drengin was captured at the Battle of Auyuittug and will most probably be exiled or killed. In whatever case the Drengin need a new leader and that job has fallen to you Kona." Kona merely sat back and started and Glovt without so much as blinking an eye and giving no response. "We all know that the Altarian known as Netro Mancer will probably become the first leader of the new nation which is very beneficial seeing as he is a fairly open book. An idealist who believes in unity and equality. I know that he will attempt to form a coalition government giving influential members of the various tribes important positions in the new government. We can expect the same to happen to Kona here who has just recently been selected to be the ruler of the Drengin people. When this opportunity occurs we must take it and exploit it as much as we can. I formed a plan that will destabilize the future government and allow us to reassert greater influence over a crumbling nation". For the next three hours they went over this master plan, most of them thinking it was pretty good and had a high chance of succeeding. The meeting was soon adjourned and the different members headed back to their respective homes or jobs. All five servants were gathered for their classification assurances and debriefing. Thinking it odd they were told to wait in a room currently under construction nobody noticed they were in fact standing on a large clear sheet of plastic, presumably to keep paint off the floor. Five Drengin intelligence agents walked in and stood behind the unwary servants. All four agents quickly drew silenced sub machine guns and opened fire Emptying an entire clip into each man to ensure his/her elimination they began to roll the bodies up in the plastic which was promptly taken to the incinerator. Now the only men in the world who new of this grand new plot were the five who helped plan it. Now they just had to wait for the right time and opportunity......

Across the entire nation television broadcasts were cut and only one program was shown. This was done by the new Ministry of Internal Affairs (specifically the Department of Information) at the bequest of the Republic Council. Viewers saw a young and rather handsome looking man with full brown hair in a suit standing on a podium. Behind him were other various ministers, department heads and politicians standing up against an enormous flag hanging from the wall. Cameras were flashing and several dozen reporters and hundreds of ordinary citizens were surrounding the platform all cheering, screaming and waving around little flags. The man held up his hands and the crowd silenced as he began to speak. [i]"My fellow citizens. Today the national referendum was finally tallied and confirmed. No longer shall we fight amongst ourselves like we have for several centuries. No longer will we fear death and destruction coming without warning and lives being torn apart by wars fought for reasons no long forgotten. Today heralds the dawn of a new age for our people with the formation of a new nation. Today the Altarian Republic is born finally bringing a force for peace and stability to a region that has only known war for the longest time. I am honored to have also been elected by you to lead our new nation to greatness. I, Grand Chancellor Netro Mancer, solemnly swear to you all that I will give all of my utmost ability to lead and ensure the prosperity of our new nation. Thank you all, and good night."[/i] The crowd went wild with the end of his speech and the new Grand Chancellor walked off the stage and towards the front of the rally making his way through the crowd of people. His security staff was appalled, they had planned to go out the back, rushing to catch up with him but unable to part the crowd like Mancer. The Grand Chancellor kept going and greeting people, shaking hands, giving hugs; a woman with tears in her eyes even ran up to him and gave him a long kiss before the Chancellor's security agents finally caught up and gently parted them. Chancellor Mancer was quickly ushered to his limousine by his flustered guards. As he got in and closed the door he saw there were already several people there. His old childhood friend Vega Arco the new Minister of Defense was smiling broadly at him. The leader of the Arcean tribe he was a well built man with a height of 6'10". He was the true definition of an Arcean warrior and barely fit in the vehicle, bending his head forward to avoid hitting the roof. Kralax Korx was the next person he noticed, a rather short (5'4") and rotund man he was a very friendly person but, more than that, a genius when it came to economics which made him well qualified for his position as the Minister of Economics. He saw the man sitting on the other side and recognized his Internal Affairs Minister. Kona Tulha was the new leader of the Drengin after the former was just recently exiled from the Republic. He was a fairly well built middle aged man with balding/greying hear. Being a Drengin he was the most quiet person there, mostly keeping to himself, but also probably the most cunning. The last person was Daki Maldo, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. She was normally very beautiful, tonight amplified by her stunning dress and jewelry selection. Daki was a fellow Altarian and received the job because she was very adept at diplomacy and had good people skills. Grand Chancellor Mancer himself had just recently become head of the Altarian tribe not three years ago after the former (his father) had died in battle with the Drengin. It was through that event that he sought to attempt to end the bloodshed the millions of people had gone through for centuries. Through his own personal skills and the help of numerous friends and fellow idealists, several of whom were in the limousine with him right now) that dream had become a reality. They all celebrated the moment he got in with several bottles of champagne being opened, with the exception of Kona who remained almost totally quiet, the fact that all their work had come to fruition and all hoping they had it in them to make it last.

In order to grow the economy of the Altarian Republic the Grand Chancellor has sent to the Republic Council an economics policy initiative. In it he recognizes the need for foreign investment in the economy in order to start it up on the road to industrialization. As such there are numerous incentives such as tax breaks and extremely low interest loans and grants available to foreign and domestic companies that wish to set up shop in the nation. The Altarian Republic has also recently discovered a fairly large oil field withing the nation. While we have expertise in mining, oil extraction is something our nation has no actual experience in. As such we would like to open up a bidding process on up to 3 major oil fields(for now) for foreign companies to develop and extract. It should be understood by the bidding companies that there will be several conditions they must agree to if they do in fact win a contract. 1) Non Altarian workers will still be held to our national and local laws. While we will not prosecute said foreign citizens who break our laws out of deference to their home countries we will send them back and (if the crime was severe enough) ban them from ever returning. 2) The oil fields and facilities your company develop will, in the far future, be nationalized and ownership of the facilities and fields will be given to Altarian companies (when they develop). When this occurs your company will be reimbursed the full initial construction cost of all said facilities. 3) Your company must hire and train Altarian workers in addition to your own staffs. 4) Your company will sell oil and petroleum products to the Altarian Republic at a relatively low price (to be negotiated) In order to make the investment worth doing with all of the conditions above it has been determined that these benefits will be conferred upon any company that wins a oil development contract: 1) No taxes shall be levied on your company. 2) Security will be provided by the Altarian Republic Army for workers and facilities. 3) Worker housing shall be constructed by the Republic according to your company's specifications 4) Your companies other (non-oil related products) will have tariffs and sales taxes dropped for their purchase. Remember that this is a negotiation/bid so obviously the best offers shall win contracts. Other factors that will heavily influence consideration is your company's expertise and experience as well as relations and locations of your home countries.

In charge of the physical defense of the nation it has been granted the highest priority in terms of budget and manpower recruitment. Cold War era weapons are used mainly due to the fact that before the Republic the Altarians had most of this equipment which, compared to the other tribes, was cutting edge battlefield technology. [u][b]Navy:[/b][/u] Personnel: 1,000 Vessels: CPB-1, CPB-2, CPB-3, CPB-4 The Altarian Navy is responsible for the defense of the Republic's shores. Currently they operate antiquated patrol vessels only mounting light-medium cannons and torpedoes. A naval modernization program is currently being formulated to bring the Altarian Navy into the 21st century. [u][b]Air Force:[/b][/u] Personnel: 1,000 Aircraft: Cessna O-1 (12), OV/A Bronco (8) Units: -28th Aerial Reconnaissance Squadron -69th Forward Observation Squadron The Altarian Air Force is probably the smallest military branch in terms of overall size and budget. While a modernization and expansion program to transform it into a real and professional Air Force with jet aircraft is in the works it currently supports the Altarian Army, Navy and local police. The various tribes that compose the Altarian Republic are generally very well versed in warfare. They ought to be as they've been fighting each other for centuries. Even so, some are better than others when it comes to war. The most skilled warriors in the Republic come from the Arcean tribe. These are true warriors in every sense of the word. They are trained for combat from the day they are born to prepare them for the inevitable future of bloodshed and glory that awaits them. In fact, an Arcean isn't actually considered a man until his weapon has drawn blood in battle. Above all else an Arcean values his honor and duty to his tribe and now (hopefully) to the new Republic. Vega Arco is one such man. He was the leader of the Arcean people until he was called upon by Grand Chancellor Mancer (a childhood friend) to full fill the role of Defense Minister, which he accepted. A highly capable warrior who has seen war and knows it better than one should, he is an extremely capable leader who has managed to lead and inspire warriors into winning a battle.

Departments: -Department of Natural Resources -Department of Industry -Department of Finances -Department of Trade Economic matters are dealt with by the Department of Economics which is headed by Economic Minister Elisabeth Kralax of the Korx tribe. The Korx have a culture and history of commerce and trade. Minister Kralax was chosen by Grand Chancellor Mancer for her brilliant economic mind and abilities. Hopefully the minister will reciprocate the Chancellors faith in her and help get the Altarian Republic into the global economic spotlight. Before the Republic was formed the tribal economies were relatively simple and roughtly similar. The Altarians and the Korx, however, became very proficient merchants and entrepreneurs. This helped the Altarians gain a somewhat large advantage over the other tribes as their larger economy allowed them to enhance their military as well as increasing their political influence over the other tribes. Now most of the economy is based on harvesting raw resources like the thriving silver industry or herding and fishing. Attempts are being made to bring in finished goods industries in order to help facilitate the need for industrialization and economic progress for the Republic. Machinery and other needed equipment is being imported on a fairly large scale for the construction of numerous factories. Recently large mineral and oil deposits were discovered and it is hoped that these can also be utilized.

[center][size="7"][u][b]Government & Politics [/b][/u][/size][/center] Government Type: Federal Republic Grand Chancellor: Netro Mancer Republic Council Leader: Vega Arcenemos Council Size: 16 Councilors Parties: None Current Bills Under Discussion: None The Altarian Republic was founded as a Federal Republic that would preside over national affairs while leaving the individual tribes (or "states" as they're now called) to deal with their own matters themselves without interference. It took many many years of blood, fighting and political maneuvering to form the Republic and even so loyalty seems to lie more with one's tribe than the nation as a whole. Even though the Federal Government is supposed to hold the nation together and deal with various "state" issues it is still fairly limited in its powers over the individual states. Since the formation of the Republic there has also been a small but vocal Separatist movement that wishes to see the Republic abolished and revert back to tribal independence. These separatists fear the loss of their tribal culture, identity and independence. It is actually quite interesting to see the people of different tribes, who would normally be warring with each other, working together to destroy the entity that is what holds them together. The Republic is lead by a popularly elected Grand Chancellor. Currently that person is Netro Mancer of the Altarian tribe. He was one of the main driving powers behind the formation of the Altarian Republic and helped engineer the governmental system that was acceptable to most of the tribes participating. A young and driven leader he states that his wish is "to lead the Altarian Republic to an era of unity and prosperity for all of its citizens". Mancer has become somewhat disliked by the old guard of tribal leaders and politicians as he doesn't always seem to have a high regard for tradition and always pushes for reforms and rapid progress. The legislature of the Altarian Republic is the unicameral Republic Council. It's numbers are fixed at two Councilors per state/tribe. The means by which those tribes select their councilors vary with some using democratic processes or executive appointment, etc. The Council creates and votes upon bills that must pass a simple majority in order to move on. The Grand Chancellor will then decide if they want to approve or disapprove of the bill. If he approves it the bill will become a law and he is responsible for its execution. If he disapproves it goes back to the council where the veto can be overridden by a 3/4 vote by the council.

Elections have been completed and the votes counted. The great Netro Mancer of the Altarians will be the first Grand Chancellor of the Republic. Now we all shall begin the monumental task of building a stable and prospering nation for all peoples lucky enough to be a citizen of this new nation. [u][b]BRIEF HISTORY[/b][/u] Before the formation of the Altarian Republic the Arctic region it was founded in composed of numerous different native tribes. Throughout many hundreds of years these tribes participated in many numerous conflicts with each other slowing down the region's development and advancement. Even with the introduction of modern technologies fighting still occurred on an almost daily level. Of these tribes there were three significant one's in the region in addition to dozens of smaller ones. The Altarians, the Arceans and the Drengin. The Altarians were the largest power in the region, although not by a decisive amount, for the last half century. The Altarians are a very industrious and enterprising people who have built up by far the largest economy of the many tribes (helped by plentiful marble and silver deposits). Altarians also have a culture of supporting the arts; with many aspiring musicians, artists, sculptors and the like. A very pragmatic people the Altarians have since quickly embraced modern technologies such as electricity, machinery, automobiles in order to improve their lifestyle and productivity. More so than that they are master politicians and diplomats and clever schemers proven highly capable of using diplomacy to manipulate the other tribes to do whatever the Altarians deemed were necessary for their interests. The idea of a single nation unifying the various tribes came mainly from the Altarian political leadership not more than 10 years ago. In spite of the fact that they are oriented towards politics, industry and the arts it is a mistake to think that they are unskilled in military affairs. Of the three major tribes they have usually had the most advanced military hardware available and have engaged in the art of war for centuries. All this coupled with their good industrial base and capable military leadership means that the Altarians as a people are more than capable of meeting any challenge of arms. The Arceans are the largest military power of the three major tribes. Even though all of the various tribes have been fighting for hundreds of years Arcean society truly revolves around war. Children are basically trained for combat from the day they are born. Every Arcean puts their duty as soldiers to the tribe first before anything and live by those beliefs. Arceans that are too old/young, or are incapable or unable to fight (women are prohibited but they are in no way pushovers) direct their efforts to supporting those that can. While fierce soldiers it would be a mistake to brand them as barbaric killing machines. The one thing an Arcean values the most is their personal honor and the honor of the clan. Honor, duty and glory are the main factors that drive any Arcean warrior. They adhere to a humane and idealistic set of laws governing the conduct of warfare; things such as treating defeated warriors with respect and dignity and that they should only take the lives of other warriors and should never under any circumstances harm a noncombatant. A truly fascinating people who are known as noble allies or fierce enemies. The Drengin are the most belligerent and hostile tribe of the major factions. Highly capable, they are very much like the Arceans minus their sense of honor. It is very much in their nature to pick a fight with others and they have been determined to instigate over 80% of the various wars and skirmishes the tribes have fought with each other. Contrary to what it seems the Drengin are not actually an "evil" people. They merely do whatever is necessary to achieve power and regional influence. They also are not mindless war brutes, they are probably the most shady and manipulative people in the Arctic region. Deception and espionage come very easy to a Drengin. They formed the very first organized espionage organization of all the tribes. Extremely logical people they tend to see making decisions and policy in black or white, always choosing whatever benefits them without any regard as to it's consequences for anyone but themselves. Probably the most feared group of all the different tribes. Being the major powers of the area they also were the ones doing most of the fighting in a struggle to dominate the region. In time the Altarians proposed the formation of a single nation for all of the different tribes in the region. The Arceans and most of the other tribes had grown weary of the many centuries of warfare and fervently supported this idea. The Drengin on the other had were a proud and stubborn people who viewed this as a an assault on their sovereignty and culture as well as fearing it would be dominated by the Altarians and Arceans. They initially resisted, stepping up attacks on tribes that supported the idea of an single nation resulting in even worse fighting than before. But soon enough the Altarians and Arceans pooled together their forces with those of the other minor tribes to battle the Drengin. Three years of bloody fighting ensued and culminated in the Battle of Auyuittuq. There the Drengin military was decimated in the bloodiest battle in the area's history (over 20,000 dead on both sides) and they agreed to negotiations. For instigating the war the Drengin leader was exiled from the new nation to be. Fears of Altarian and Altean domination were allayed with the transcendence of Netro Mancer as leader of the Altarians. More of an idealist than his predecessor he managed to gain the approval of almost all of the tribes in his completely overhauled design of the new nation's government. There was to be a national council where every tribe was equally represented by two members and two votes. The new federal government would govern over national affairs such as national defense, commerce, and diplomacy while leaving the states (individual tribes) alone. A single man would be the Grand Chancellor of the nation elected by the popular vote of all citizens. Unsurprisingly Netro Mancer was the first man to be elected in an landslide victory (76%). His first act as Chancellor was to request the council to conduct a study of the name of the new nation. While a very hard thing to decide all of the tribes did acknowledge that none of this would have occurred if not for Altarian leadership and guidance and thus it was decided to name the new nation the Altarian Republic. (OOC: Hope you guys like and accept this. I wanted to run with something completely new)

Would it be acceptable for me to get a bit of territory? I understand that we're supposed to play to our ingame stats so I'll start of small and maybe moderately expand later on when my nation becomes more capable.

Well the due to proximity the Eggman empire should be in it then. I'll try asking around. Thanks.

Who are the members of CAN then?

Dang. In that case I'll just go with the area West of the Eggman Empire then. That's not being held or claimed by anyone is it?

Cool. I've noticed that the map hasn't been updated and that the map keeper was going to update it soon so I'm not really sure what's still open or not. Any land in Alaska or that area West of the Eggman Empire still available?

Hey guys. I've been looking at this CNRP thing for a couple of days now and it actually seems pretty cool. Mind if I join in?
