Assuming something is better because it is more popular is a fallacy.

Because it is. Even though it is not trendy anymore it is still better than that other abortion on these forums.

I nominate CNRP's own axis of evil, Tricentor or Triyun, Cent and Vektor.

There's so much secrecy going on in this rp. It's almost as if your actual lives depend on the outcome of this war.

*Classified* Suddenly there were preparations being made for war in Vostokslavia, which is without a doubt geographically entirely within Asia.

[a la John Madden] The problem is if you use protectorates as a way to moderate land usage out-of-character then you cross the holy IC/OOC line and BOOM you're a hypocrite.

There is a certain faction that constantly cries that cnrp2 is collaborative and fair, but all they do is annex territory and invade people without any real cause. God bless CNRP reborn and the new founding fathers.

Someone sounds bitter. Did CNRP touch you in your naughty place? On inactivity: I don't think we want people sitting around inactive forever. If anything we should shorten the inactivity period.

Does anyone know when was the last time the French beat the British in an armed conflict? I'm guessing 1815 :v:

"Thank goodness for the utopia which has been bestowed upon us by the shapers of this new world. I for one am thankful we live in a world where many imperialist nations feel no remorse in teaming up to take down an outnumbered force for no reason at all. Surely this world is nothing like the one we left behind." -Chairman Travkin

They already grow up too fast. Let's just enjoy this while we can. Before you know it they'll be grown with families of their own and won't have any time for us.

Sverdlovsk 2/7 Kurgan2/7 Tyumen2/7 The Sverdlovsk Front engaged a division of White Army soldiers near Kamensk-Uralsky early Wednesday morning. 47 soldiers were killed in the day long gunfight, but the Red Army succeeded in forcing tsarist forces to retreat west toward Polevskoy, a town with known tsarist sympathies. Polevskoy has became a secondary target in the war against the tsarist guerrillas with an entire division of the Red Army dedicated to capturing it. The main column of the front will advance toward the White Army’s primary stronghold in Yekaterinburg A similar incident occurred in Kurgan where the Red Army fell short of its objective to enter the city. Vicious street fighting occurred in the city’s northern residential neighborhoods that left over 100 Red Army soldiers and at least 3 civilians dead. The army is currently regrouping for another assault. *Classified* Political agitators and NKVD foreign operatives have been successfully inserted into Tyumen. They have begun contacting underground revolutionary organizations with the intent of stirring up dissent and fostering disorder.

The Council of Commissars responded to anti-bolshevik rhetoric from foreign leaders today by declaring its intent to protect the class conscious workers and peasants of the world. The declaration came just days after dozens of disappearances were reported in a neighboring, but unidentified nation. Chairman Travkin issued a stern warning to reactionary governments around the world while touring a collective farm near Orenburg today. He said, “the bourgeois imperialists and capitalist leaders think they have the proletariat under siege, but it is the other way around. The workers you have exploited and trampled on severely outnumber the bourgeoisie. As history marches ever forward down its inevitable path one thing will become clear. The global proletariat is united across racial and national borders and a global socialist revolution is imminent.” It is likely that the Chairman hoped to signal to foreign nations that the nation will not continue to tolerate the of behavior that has been seen throughout western Europe where imperialist nations are busily dividing up the spoils of failed capitalist states, which are ripe for revolution. In response to the Chairman’s statement the Politburo has stationed more political commissars at border crossings in order to receive refugees fleeing political persecution in their homelands. -excerpt from the Red Star Journal

Russian Ground Forces Enter USSE Anonymous sources inside the Ministry of Defense confirmed that Russian armored divisions entered the northern Caucasus provinces of the former USSE. Witnesses throughout the region reported columns of Russian tanks and other armored clogging up major roads. Based on unconfirmed reports the largest concentrations of ground forces are moving toward Krasnodar and Astrakhan, two major economic centers in the region. While there remains no official word that a ground operation has started it stands to reason that the military has begun the first phase of an operation to wrest control of the caucuses from Islamic extremists. It is widely believed that the reason the military’s timetable has been accelerated is because of the deadly attacks on Azov which took the lives of 3 Russian soldiers. The announcement that ground operations have begun has stirred considerable unrest among non-russians. Some members of the Ukrainian Rada have gone to such extremes as storming out of the local legislature. Vladik Tymoshenko the Leader of the Ukrainian branch of the Communist Party has decried the Russian Fatherland Party’s decision to attack the former USSE and called for the Prime Minister to resign. In Finland local legislators have taken more drastic action and scheduled a referendum on Finnish independence. The federal government vowed to declare the elections illegal and arrest seditionists if they do not withdraw their threats, but local Finns have not been deterred. Alexander Markov, the Chairman of the Imperial Council of Vostokslavia, the main advisory board to Tsar Mikhail III defended the federal government’s action. “The constituent republics of the Russian Empire and all their parts are one and indivisible. Such separatist agitation will not be tolerated.” The Finnish Diet will vote on whether or not to endorse the referendum tomorrow.

Hello again comrade citizens! Today I have good news. The Red Army commenced an operation to root out and destroy remnants of the White Army hiding on the frontier. According to the press release given by the NKVO, our glorious Red Army began shelling the of Yekaterinburg and Kurgan while simultaneously the People's Air Force launched multiple airstrikes near Tyumen that killed the tsarist general, Ivan Menshikov and his brother Nikolai. It is a resounding victory for the revolution comrades! Slava! -DJ Polonium-210 on the Wild Reds Show on the Red Army Radio. Sverdlovsk 1 of 7 Kurgan 1 of 7 Tyumen 1 of 7

Commissar Tarkin couldn't believe what was happening. "Oh my goodness! This is exactly the kind of behavior that arises from a life of privilege and entitlement," he said to himself. This was supposed to be a civilized ball for nobles and foreign dignitaries, but everyone seemed to have a knife of a sword. The fact that he seemed to be one of the few foreign representatives who didn't bring a sharp edged weapon worried him immensely. He discretely swiped a dull butter knife and a used soup spoon from a nearby table and tucked them inside his breast pocket in case things got rowdy.

You'll be back... very soon I bet.

Commissar Travkin pushed a pair of old wire frame eyeglasses up on the bridge of his nose and took a good look around the room. In his youth he lived for events like this, prosperous and magnificent were the palaces of St. Peters burg before the Great Calamity, but that was when a different branch of the imperial family ruled over Russia. Now in his advanced age he was far more liberal and disliked the haute bourgeoisie and their exploitative ways. Yet he still did enjoy a good mixer. He tucked his tie under the vest of his three piece suit. Although this was a formal affair, he no longer owned a tuxedo, and hoped a black tie and suit would suffice. As he looked around he saw very few common people. The room was mainly occupied by the local nobility and the venerated kings and queens of Europe, Asia and Africa. Although they all wielded considerable power, he would not feed into their egos by bowing or addressing them in the styles they were accustomed to, not even for his hosts. Instead he would address them as sir or ma'am, which he believed showed the appropriate level of respect that all humans deserved, regardless of class or upbringing.

*Classified* Twelve divisions of the Red Army have been moved into the region surrounding Chelyabinsk in order to deter the Tsarist forces from conducting future attacks on the city. Chairman Travkin and the Politboro members will be given additional protection from the Red Army Security and Protection Regiment. In addition two squadrons of tu-22's and six squadrons of MiG escort/ground attack fighters have conducted strikes against the Tsarist forces in the region northeast of Chelyabinsk.

*Public* Yesterday's coup by the moderate faction of the Communist party continues to broaden. The Chairman of the Committee for State security released a report that several dozen hardline members of the party were by the Fifth Chief Directorate. The report had initially been given to Chief Commissar Travkin who approved its contents being made public. The Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet praised last night's purge by saying, "Our republic is stronger without fanatical and corrupt elements within the Communist Party. With the White Army retreating toward the frontier we can finally turn toward making our goal of global socialism a reality." In addition several high-ranking generals were arrested, as was the former Chairman of the KGB, the Director of the First, Third and Ninth Directorates. "We have swept through the ranks of the Communist Party with a fine-toothed comb and removed the rotting element for good," stated Chief Commissar Travkin during a visit to soldiers fighting on the frontier. Many of the remaining party hardliners have disappeared, most are believed to have gone into hiding after the government released evidence that proved former Chief Commissar Volkov and other members of the Politburo ordered the murders of hundreds of people. -excerpt from the Red Star Journal

*Classified* *Public* Sources within the Supreme Soviet reported a major shift within The Party last night after the Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, Several other Commissars and all members of the Politburo were placed under house arrest. All were held on multiple charges of murder and corruption. Commissar Lev Travkin has been appointed as the interim Chairman, signaling a shift away from the hardline policies of the once entrenched hardliners. Travkin has expressed willingness to cooperate with the petit bourgeoisie living inside the country rather than persecuting them. He has also implied that he the country cannot survive in isolation and that the government will need to work with capitalist governments on many fronts, including the economic and defense. The Central Committee will convene this week and vote to fill the 25 open seats on the Politburo. -excerpt from the Red Star Journal

With the White Army proving itself to be a constant annoyance, Chairman Volkov was unable to attend. In his place he sent the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Lev Ivonovich Travkin. Travkin was a gaunt old man with noble blood who frequented balls in St. Petersburg before the Great Calamity and, unlike Chairman Volkov, would be comfortable in the palace setting.

This is the most exciting election ever.
