OOC: Your point? People can still reply to news reports.

OOC: except if you reply to a newspaper I can't respond IC...because it's a newspaper. Try talking to a rock, you'll get the same responses.

EDIT:

General Warning to Public: Unless you have something IC to say, from this point forward, do not post in this thread. Further OOC posts will be considered spam and reported as such

EDIT 2:

IC responses are fine, in case that wasnt clear XD

OOC: Consider it a response to what the newspaper said...but directed at the government. You'll be closer to what we do here... :P

EDIT: Apologies for the OOC...the edit was not there when I hit the reply button.

Monetary concerns and and a return to old times: and some other things

With the Fall of the UFE, The Empire has received a significant sum of money to its national treasury, and since the UFE is no longer there, the aid package sent to the now governmentless area is being scaled back to ease the financial strain the Empire is already under. With large projects at home and 2 aid packages abroad (one to Indochina and one to the Dutch), Imperial Officials state that diplomacy will have to be the way for at least this fiscal year. Pile on recovery and rebuilding and Japanization efforts in the new Indian Economic Zone, there is very little left to spend before the next budget. Financial authorities have stated, however, that the monetary gift from the UFE before its disbandment will allow for significant actions that the government may take should any other needs arise.

Meanwhile the Imperial Armed Forces are now dealing with a number of Nuclear weapons, handed over by the UFE before its disbandment. Official reports state that the new warheads will be maintained and kept in storage, for now.

Meanwhile, the Empire leads the way towards Asian stability once more, as the Kharoborovsk Conference is fully underway. Friends of the UFE and significant neighbors have all been invited to discuss the issues in dealing with the now vast and unclaimed territories that was the UFE. Rumors have spread, mostly from Green Party sources, that the Emperor is considering reinstating ANCA as more then just an economic pact

In Further News, the Imperial Naval Service announced the reopening of Kaigun Heigakkō - the Imperial Naval Academy. Based in Tsukiji, Neo Tokyo, the Academy was reopened for the first time since it's closing during the days before the Empire. The Academy will serve as it should, training new and young cadets to be effective Naval Officers.

A second Academy, one that is open to foreign students, has opened up in Enkaido

Victory In Singapore///Kharbarovsk meeting

the Imperial Task force returned home today from Singapore, along with the Southern fleet, after standing in victory over Tanisian forces during the brief but bloody conflict a short time ago. With victory in hand, the Empire was able to convince the Republic of Tanis to try more diplomatic methods in obtaining territory. With the Manila conference complete, and the Kharbarovsk meeting at an end, what would have been an international crisis with the fall of the UFE has been, for the most part, peacefully avoided

Interstate System Finished in Enkaido

A complete and extensive highway system has just been completed in Enkaido earlier yesterday. The Interstate Project was begun several months ago and has been worked around the clock since, to provide easier transportation for civilians who are normally congested through side roads and main streets, a safer and quicker transport route for the Imperial Armed Forces, and a fast transport route for goods and materials.

New Territory//Withdrawal

All former UFE territory has been granted to the Empire via the Kharbarovsk meeting. Troops have been entering the new regions since a few weeks ago when the territory was given. Reinforcements have been arriving from the Northern Empire, where troops were engaged in anti-revolutionary actions, before the Emperor called them off. There has been no officially released plan about what to do with the new regions yet, and no rumors have escaped any of the ministries.

OOC: I would also like to announce that from this point forward I will no longer be engaged in any conflicts that arn't preplanned. If I am forced into any combat without being consulted and asked, and without discussing how the conflict will proceed, it will be considered non-canon, and have no effect on regular CNRP. I really am tired of OOC, so that is my reason...oh and this

TL; DR Frosty is staying out of unplanned fights (aka pulling a Botha)

OOC: Ice, your new "policy" will not fly completely with RP rules. Though you may attempt to reach an OOC agreement on what to do with whatever war or what not, you cannot declare something "non-canon" simply beacuse they didn't consult you beforehand. You may establish the policy, however, that all of the wars that are declared on you or that you participate should have an OOC agreement near the beginning or a GM intervention will occur should no agreement be made.

Chances are, you will still have to fight the war as another RP rule states clearly that failure to recognize a war equates an automatic loss on the party that does not recognize it.

Protectorate Declared

With the apparent lack of Government in Jiangsu/Zhejiang, the Ministry of Foreign Relations announced that the area is now an Imperial Protectorate. Troops have already begun stationing themselves at the borders to secure and keep the region safe from harm until such time that the Government, which had announced itself during the Kharbarovsk meeting, returns, or a new government declares its existence there. Local Governments will, for the time being, administer the regions

ANCA Revived, economic success to spread to the Rest of Asia

The Asian Nations Cooperation Agreement, the revised ex-defense treaty now economic, is showing remarkable signs of growing once again. Already, our allies and renewed friends the Philippines Freestate joined the economic union, and several Asian nations, and even some non-Asian entities, have already expressed interest in the treaty.

"This is a good sign. It means that, despite the lack of unity that the fall of the UFE brought, Asia is still ready to stand together" said an insider from the Finance Ministry

OOC: re-added protectorate

Chairman Hayashio Murdered: CPJ Implosion?

Communist Party of Japan Chairman Hayashio Furukama was murdered almost 2 days ago. Just before the turn over of Amur to the Northern Empire, Chairman Hayashio was visiting the regions' capitol city, Blagoveshchensk, for a meeting with several communist leaders in the area. During the night of his last day, he was shot in the head. The Imperial Guard have locked down any further information, and have only released a public statement stating that the Guard Intelligence is looking into the matter, and will most certainly capture the culprit.

In the meanwhile, the CPJ has several tasks ahead of it, some which may already be leading to a general failure of Communist/Socialist power in Neo Japan. Several members of the CPJ council have made a bid for Chairman, and to spur on voters, have been leading rally's and counter-rally's, and even some protests against other members. Small incidents of violence are being reported in Sapporo and Enkaido. To deal with this crisis, the Emperor has ordered EMP proofing of military hardware and communications, raised the alert status from peacetime 5 to 4, and a general step-up of police and military security in these areas.

"No chances are to be taken" said an Imperial Palace representative.

General withdrawal from Russia

With the trade negotiations complete with the Northern Empire, the Empire has received the remainder of Kharbarovsk province, and in exchange has turned over the Jewish AO and Amur province to TNE. With such large reduction of Imperial territory, the Empire is saving millions on construction, Japanization, and building efforts. Already, projects to extend the Enkaido Highway system into the new territory are underway, as well as large amounts of materials and construction equipment going into Northern Kharbarovsk, to begin bringing the area up to Imperial Standards.

Economic Instability: What will the Government do?

It had been a long time in coming, and it appears that the time has finally come. With the collapse of the UFE on the mainland, and with economically unstable nations (like Beijing Corp; the war) or economically devastated nations (like Altin Urda) having risen to replace it, the Empire has been in a bind to seek new trade agreements and to increase Self-Sufficiency. On the list of changes the Emperor has made to deal with the sudden gap in Finance, not to mention the future dealing of Nuclear fallout/winter in the coming years, one of them has been several territorial shifts. The new land obtained by the Empire is rich in resources needed to keep the Empire functioning. However, much of what has been gained has yet to have an industrial or development base around it; benefits from such resources have not yet been gained. Until construction finishes on Developing the areas, the Empire has seen an unsteady recession in the Empire's Economy. Aluminum and Marble have become almost priceless, although reserve supplies are being used as a stopgap, shoring up the economy while the Finance Ministry and the Royal Court struggle for solutions, hoping to resolve the crisis before the next Election and Fiscal year

OOC: lost my aluminum and marble trade, probably going to have to do some rearranging of trade agreements

Riots in Khabarovsk Krai, CPJ Problems continue

Communist Rallies turn violent in the northern half of Khabarovsk Krai, the new addition to Enkaido and the Empire. The ongoing power struggle within the Party has left all contenders for the position of Chairman with little choice other then to fight back against potential political enemies. One candidate holds a rally, and supporters of another candidate attack the rally, turning what would be political campaigns into street brawls. Riot Police and the Imperial Guard have been brought in up and down Northern Khabarovsk Krai to deal with the violence.

"The Death of Chairman Hayashio has been hell, especially in Enkaido. Several towns have already been forced to be put in siege while the Army quells rioters and rebels".

Several supporters of the more hardline communists have begun Guerrilla actions against other CPJ candidates, resulting in severe property damage up and down Enkaido. These rebels have been receiving support from former Northern Empire citizens who have strongly opposed the land trade between the Empire and the Northern Empire. Never the less, order has been restored to much of the major areas in Northern Khabarovsk, while quelling actions continue to take place in smaller towns and the country side.

OOC: Got Anarchied by a couple of "old friends" that are planning to leave the game

Piracy in the Far East

Over the course of the last couple weeks, a total of 4 Imperial Corvettes have been either destroyed or stolen. Imperial Guard Intelligence has released that the cause of this is a massive resurge of Pirate activity in the Northern Pacific, ranging from Hanseatic PNG, Micronesia, all the way up to the Northern Marianas, Taiwan, and off the coast China.

"Such Pirate activity has not been seen since the days of the DKT. The North Pacific has always been a generally Pirate-free area, and it was only DKT's destabalizing existence that allowed for Piracy to exist"

Current Guard Intelligence places the result of the resurge in Pirate activity as due to the presence of Altin Urda in the Pacific.

"Their devastated economy and population are creating criminal elements that are effecting the entirety of the Pacific"

While new INS ships are built, the Imperial Navy has stepped up its patrols and security, especially with the War raging between allies in Eurasia

OOC: Lost 4 of my corvettes in a war I'm in with one of those "old friends"

Manchuria Liberated!!

With the complete collapse of the Altin Urdan "Government", the Empire has moved in to secure all of Manchuria (at least, which parts that do not belong to the Koreans), as well as the remainder of Primorye Krai, which includes Vladivostok. There have been several reports of skirmishes with Altin Urdan Loyalists along the border as well as in the territory itself; Loyalists of the now defunct government. Several Humanitarian efforts are going to be underway soon, however what that specifically entails has not been released.

Imperial Guard Intelligence is currently investigating and writing a report of the state of former Altin Urdan territory, which will be released. Beijing Corp has agreed to allow Imperial Inspections to come through their newly acquired territory, so that a complete review of the region can be conducted.

With the news of Neo Japan's efforts the Philippines is willing to aid the humanitarian effort in any capacity needed.

Response from the Imperial Guard ((OOC: :o this is new))

We appreciate the Philippines' offer to help, and will accept help as soon as our investigative report on the region is published.

Imperial Broadcasting Company Special Report on the State of Central Asia

Work Continues in Central Asia

Continued Imperial supply trains into Central Asia are now being directed to the new government which has risen in the region. It is unsure how this new government will react to so much Japanese supplies and help. The Asian Economic Organization has made no reply to the Empire's request for aid on the issue, and only the White Cross seems to be taking the matter into consideration. The Empire will be lodging full complaints to fellow AEO members.

Economic Turnaround, Manchurian Resource Region Given Credit: Also, Relocation

OOC: I got my trades back in order :3

IC:

With control over the majority of Manchuria, resource development in the area has put the Empire's economy back on Track. With this large boost to both population and monetary assets, Imperial Officials at the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Court have announced that the budget has been able to expand by a significant amount. Already construction resources from Greater Enkaido and the Home Islands are being shipped over to begin developing the Area, which has suffered greatly under former Altin Urdan care.

To suppliment the population of the region, and to make up for the outflow of Han Chinese who are returning to their homes in Central Asia/Mongolia, the Empire is bringing in the complete former Kyokujitsan population of former Altin Urda; a total of nearly 200,000 people. several dozen arrests have been made in the group, but other then that, the entire population will be cared for and registered to be citizens of the Empire.

Victory: Manchurian Army Surrenders, Deployment Request From A.G.S

Early today, Enkaido Provincial General Katsutoshi Yuudai announced the surrender of some 200,000 former Altin Urdan soldiers. Having never accepted the collapse and fall of the former government, the leader of the Army stationed on the Imperial Border, a one Field Marshall Naranbaatar, led his troops and men in a guerrilla style warfare against Imperial troops now occupying Manchuria. The fighting had been going on for the last few weeks (rp time), until the Imperial Army, with reinforcements from the Jewish AO, had surrounded the militants in a last stand. Imperial Guard Infantry infiltrated enemy lines and eliminated Naranbaatar's command staff and apprehended Naranbaatar himself, ending hostilities between former Altin Urdan loyalists in Manchuria. Small skirmishes between small militant groups continue in the country side in Manchuria, but the worse is over. Naranbaatar and any surviving members of his Command Staff are being transported to Khabarovsk for War Trial. In the meantime, the Emperor has granted Amnesty to the former Soldiers, and has begun transporting them back to Central Asia/Mongolia, where their homes are, under the legitimate government of the Kingdom of Cochin.

Meanwhile Artemis Global Security and the Empire entered into an Anti-Terrorist agreement, both groups agreeing that the interests of the people of former NNE and their safety are priority. 4th and 3rd Army elements have engaged former Altin Urdan units that were part of the original Altin Urdan invasion force of AGS held Asia. With the Quelling of Major violence in Manchuria, the 2nd army is redeploying several thousand more troops to assist Imperial Forces and AGS security forces in ending what has quickly become terrorist activity.

Foreign Aid Still going Out and Army Redeployment

With victory in Manchuria accomplished, and the fighting in AGS held Russia still going on, Elements of the 2nd Army, which is currently holding manchuria, are being redeployed to the Central Asian Federation to join the 1st Army in aiding the Central Asian Federation in rebuilding and security purposes. Word has yet to reach the Empire on any decision from the White Cross, and only the Philippines Free-state has offered to help the Empire in it's endeavor to aid the nations of Uralica ((OOC: forgot nation name sorry >.<)), The Kingdom of Cochin, and the Central Asian Federation, all of which have arisen from former destitute and slum Altin Urda

Elections Still on!!!

Imperial Elections End in 3 days. With the end of the elections drawing nearer, the Emperor has announced an Empire wide Birthday bash!! Foreign dignataries are invited to the private party to be held in the Imperial Palace.
