The Potato Republic continues their expansion around Opal Lake.

Four expeditions were sent out to explore the region. The coastal expedition to the west of Opal Lake has reported finding a settlement sent from Yokcos, which has upset the Potato Republic.

"Yokcos' unwarranted expansions have reached the shores of our nation, selfishly settling on coveted lands. This leader has abundant access to land near his own territories, and had previously attempted to build in the ocean. Meanwhile, he has refused to share his land with other settlers who have attempted to start societies near his own. We must consider Yokcos a potential threat. We have deployed ships to monitor the situations north of the Starch Sea and will be watching closely."

btw how can war possibly work in this if things did get hairy? It's ripe for powergaming and unfairly dictating what happens, esp. if that person is not around to respond.

Yokcostan funds the construction of two INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS to aid in intercontinental travel; one by opal lake and the other near the north coast of the southern continent.
The nation also prepares ARTILLERY UNITS in the city of Rsohd to defend against the inexplicable villains.

The Nation of Bergully humbly accepts the Potato Republic's offer and graciously accept's their gift. In return, The NoB offers land between our territory and Mountstache. This territory is marked with a Fuchsia "X"


The NoB also has fortified a small naval fleet to protect it's eastern coastline, along with taking a small section of @Mercerenies' land, as his nation has been rather absent.

Storlandia has completed research in summoning interdimensional dragons and is now using them in training exercises for its military.



in response to the Potato Republics statements, we have detained several of its 'tourists' on suspicion of espionage.

He must have done it accidentally. I think this is fixed now?

The Potato Republic is pleased to announce the successful defense pact and peace agreement with the Nation of Bergully. We would like to build an embassy in Bergully, and offer you one in return (represented by a colored dot near the respective capitals).

The Potato Republic has issued a travel alert regarding Storlandia, and has threatened to close the borders and cancel visas between the two countries if the detainees are not released. "Storlandia is engaging in blatant human rights abuse, under the veil of spy propaganda."

Having finished research on Land Masses, The NoB has begun building a "Land Bridge" that will serve as a toll route for other countries. Both for ships and land vehicles alike. Allies will not have to pay a toll, as a token of our gratitude. All profits will be used to further expand both ours and our allies technological advancements.

In advance, The NoB has agreed to The Potato Republic's Embassy plan. We have marked the two Embassies and thank the Potato Republic for their Alliance, with enough time, may both of our nations benefit from the aide of each other and prosper for many more moons.

The NoB would also like to extend a hand of friendship towards Roy, gifting him with The Statue of Bergalie. The statue, if accepted will remain a sign of friendship among our nations in the face of an impending battle with Storlandia.

We've also begun researching Air Travel.

having fully vetted the tourists from Potato Republic, we return them amicably with our blessings.
Further, we release records of their exemplary conditions and access to our facilities.

The Potato Republic is using trade and embassies to establish bases for its network of spies!
You cannot trust that Potato Head! He will steal your technology!
Hide your Kids! Hide your Wife! He will steal your very Life!

We begin researching quantum fission zero point energy drives.

We begin researching underwater factory and greenhouse construction.

We summon an interdimensional dragon that is space-worthy to assist in our research on climate and weather prediction.

We send emissaries inland on the main continent of Stach Mountain seeking rumors of sentient gorilla-wasp-tigers and their society of monks.
We send a dragon rider on a global mission in search of other sentient species. He will teach the magic culinary healing arts we learned from the Mmomngi, the flightess birds in our protectorate to any who wish to learn. Our mission is a mission of peace and good will.

We begin research on ancient civilizations looking for clues and welcome academic findings from other lands. Academics are welcome in our libraries, we will share technology to academics who remain here for 3-6 turns at our discretion (our choice).

The Potato Republic has thanked Storlandia for their compliance in returning the tourists, but we have published a report on the human rights abuses witnessed by the tourists, who we now consider to have been political prisoners. The people of Storlandia were "malnourished and brainwashed" according to the report, which claims Storyteller is corrupt and has been keeping resources from his people to maintain his luxury lifestyle. The report also claims a number of sentient walruses who were meant to be protected have been killed for their oil and fur.

The Potato Republic claims to have approved 39 applications from refugees seeking asylum from the area now regarded as "North Kumura" to enter the Potato Republic's Southern Kumura area. It is warning refugees that border closure is likely following the leak of this information, which was published after Potato Republic intelligence officials found evidence to suggest Storlandian officials are aware of the situation and were attempting to prevent refugees from fleeing.

The Potato Republic has sent it's full report to the Nation of Bergully for review due to the concerning nature of the claims made by the Storlandia government. In an official statement, Jabbers noted "the Storlandia leader is increasingly paranoid, nonsensical, and reclusive, and may destabilise the mainland with his unicorn hunt in Mountstache, an area too steep and harsh to be liveable."

The Potato Republic has named a new town Pebble Beach, a seaside location open to tourists and refugee walrus.

After further review of the report sent by The Potato Republic, The Nation of Bergully has announced that they will be securing their Eastern borders with more ships, and offers a safe route into the facility now known as "The Medium Center", found on a small island,east of the nation, marked by "MC". Refugees from Storlandia may use this route to travel to the Center. Upon arriving, a full background check will be conducted, in the event that said refugees pass the check, they will be allowed into our nation and will be offered the chance to apply for Citizenship in the event that they wish to stay. Refugees that do not pass the test are welcome to stay in The Center for as long as they wish, so long as they respect our Laws.

The NoB resents the accusations made by the Leader of Storlandia. The two nations of The NoB and The Potato Republic are developing well educated youth the further lead the nation into future prosperity, The NoB believes that Storlandia may learn a thing or two from the example we have set. They will not, however, intrude upon your fruitless search in Mountstache, so long as you respect the mountain and leave it untouched by excavation or destructive machinery.

Cantavanda's remaining city is taken, a Flag of Conquest is raised. A peace treaty is announced with the Potato Republic after the kind gift of a potato salad. A solid wall is built around the lands on the Yokcosian island. The city in the south expands.

Research is put into Stealth Weaponry. This should take a small amount of time to get to basics.

The Potato Republic will accept the peace treaty proposed by roy, on the condition the nation is peaceful with their ally, the Nation of Bergully. Jabbers stated in a speech that "a defense pact between roy and the Potato Republic is unlikely at this point, given the nation's existing conflicts that predate our friendship, and the impact this would have on our allies."

Politicians from the Potato Republic and the Nation of Bergully are expected to meet to talk about peace arrangements with roy's nation. Meanwhile, the area occupied by the Potato Republic east of Pebble Beach has expanded, and a new bay area has been claimed.

Almost all resources went into establishing a Navy. Stealth Weapons are still being prepared. Peace treaty conditions agreed. Hostilities with Storlandia appear to have impacted all three of our nations, I say if they attack the mainland of Bergully we go all out attack.

Public roads (black+orange) are constructed between the international airports and nearby kingdoms. The Potato Republic and the Nation Of Bergully can now use them. Connections have also been built to Roy's Awful Empire and Comradostan that they may also use aeroplanes to move from one location to another.

We attacked part of the lands, and built a dam on Lukasmah's lake! We blocked their main source of water and made the first move to attack. We shot one of his ships at see and making our way closer to conqueering his land!

The Awful Empire launches two separate attacks, one large naval to claim the island of Pearton. A smaller attack to interfere with Misu's annexing of Comeradostan. The second naval base is complete. Expansion continues. A Mysterious Factory is built, what it is researching will take a very long time to complete.

Ha! Roy missed his chance of glory... He did not notice this:



That little yellow stain was an opportunity for Roy to spread out our region but luckily, my ships finally arrived at shore and wipe out the substance off the map.

We began to spread out all over Comeradostan and left the last natives fleeing towards the shores. We have taken down both of theit ships and our remaining ships lean closer to land.

Meanwhile, a wild Weird Al Yankovic appeared somewhere far on the right bottom of the map.

Kepons territory is easily captured, and his ships are taken too. The navy moves north across the map to the southern side and annexes the Weird Al. Most growth is concentrated in the southern city. Attacks continue on Misu's territory.

Before anyone asks how I can sail off the north and end on the south, the planet is donut shaped. Like so...

Yokcostan fires some shells in the general direction of Misu's invading force but they fall short and hit the coast. So a greater artillery turret is built, and the naval force is moved in.

Stealth weaponry is completed, it is immediately used in the Battle Against Misu. The dam is reopened, destroying the ground forces that lay in the way.

Ground forces on my side of the dam have been wiped out, returning the territory to neutral.

The navy goes further north, and the Weird Al is further captured. A base will be planted there soon.

A capital has been established on the Mainland.

Current plan:
* Return previously held Comeradostan territories back to Lukasmah
* Claim Misu's islands
* Avoid conflict with the Yokcosian territories, allow them to assist in the attacking of Misu. If they so wish, they may lay claim to some of the Misuian islands.

We fully deny the lies and propaganda of the Potato Republic. We see their unabashed attempts to shift focus from their own human rights violations.

We have begun food drops of fresh vegetables and medicine to their impoverished citizens. Any citizen may place a dragon flag over their roof to receive food.

The devastation of Misuland is a terrible tragedy. We accept all refugees in our welcome arms. The return of Misu Island to her rightful people by Royland is the only humane action forward.

We expand and consolidate our borders.



We construct several undersea factories to minimize environmental damage.

We join forces with the Simian-Tiger-Wasp Monks of Mt Stache.

We have an orbital dragon.. who uh, aids in weather prediction.

We begin study of cybertechnology.

We continue study of Quantum Energy Drives.

The NoB has issued out a warning to Storlandia. Mountstache is a nature reserve and will remain neutral ground among the nations' territories. The Storlandian troops who have attempted to claim a small section of the mountain have been detained and the rest fought off, back to Storlandian Territories. The Detainees will be checked for weaponry and deported back to their home country. Storlandia will not touch the mountain, or the mainland. The NoB has troops moving towards the small section of territory on the mainland that Storlandia owns. In the event that Storlandian troops are still there when they arrive, they will not hesitate to attack. Get moving. Now.

All efforts have gone into annexing the Storlandia land and sending across the navy. All other wars (The War With Misu, the Factory, other expansion) has been halted so this can go ahead.

The assault on Storlandia's troops in inexcusable

A police action was taken, cutting off the NoB supply routes to the Simian-Tiger-Wasp Monastary.
Our Dragons have moved in a destroyed two of the NoB cruisers and a battlefront has been established in the north.

Our Orbital Dragon maintains watch over the area, ready to begin bombardment.
Any further action other than retreat will result in all out War.

Surprised by and unprepared for this unprovoked attack, PDRC suffers heavy losses and is unable to hold onto a large portion of its territory. This allows for the construction of a dam, but thanks to the help from Awful Empire, most notably their destruction of the dam, PDRC is able to launch a massive counteroffensive.

With the dam destroyed, the mostly intact western part of PDRC is able to send supplies and troops to the coastal regions still holding on, allowing them to continue fighting. The western part begin slowly retaking their territory, while guerrilla forces from all over the occupied part become more than a bit of a problem to the enemy.

A second factory is built and the Awful Empire gains more territory on its island. I'd like to point out the Government of Storlandia are fools for trusting the Awful Empire. Especially when they are attacking a territory we have a literal peace treaty with.

The navy located around the area easily captures the low defense base. After all, you somehow obtained more territory in a smaller amount of time. Now I have your base, time to do some fun.

1) Operation Scorched Earth

The orbital dragon is commanded from the base, I have got your base, I have decided to crash the orbital dragon directly into Misu's land. You now have no orbital dragon (how did you get that anyway?) and Misu has less land. (Just make another Weird Al appear, I'm sure it will be fine)

2) Operation Shield

I set your shields to maximum. You are now incapable of retreating or calling for more resources. (For two turns at minimum, I did the math) See the highlighted area in yellow for the place the shields are strongest.

Also, yes, I lied to you Storlandia. It was a war tactic. You have dragons, you attacked an ally. Now you have one less dragon. Enjoy.

The Potato Republic moves ships from south Solanum Island towards the east side of Southern Kumura in the Starch Sea. Invoking a clause in their defense pact with NoB, several ships make a surprise attack against a Storlandian unit, destroying it. Four assaults are also taking place along the North Kumura / Southern Kumura border. Residents close to the zone are being evacuated. Meanwhile north of Mountstache, troops have moved east towards the invasion zone where Storlandia has stolen land from NoB.

"These are dark times. I call upon the world to continue fighting this evil so we may liberate the people of Storlandia and protect our future generations." Jabbers said in a public TV announcement.

The shipyard in Mainland Bay is said to be in full production, with three new ships and three more expected.

I object to the chart stating the Potato Republic induced hostilities with Storlandia, as it was a response to Storlandia attacking NoB, which we have a defense pact with and embassies in each others capital. The chart should also distinguish the peace treaty from a defense pact.

My mistake, I'd amend that but I don't think Storlandia will be around long enough to say anything about it.

Oh my.

Just a minor update: fixed a piece of text that got cut off and tiny border change.

The Potato Republic has announced it has docked on the protectorate and is investigating the area. It has sent a report to the NoB advising the area should be liberated, after 61 sentient walruses have been found in a mass grave so far.

"This disturbing find will likely not be the last."

 

Lukasmah

Member
@roytheshort Well, this is somewhat inaccurate. There's no formal peace treaty between Comradostan (no e) and Yokcostan, or anything else really.

However, there's actually a trade agreement between NoB and Comradostan (no e).

Receiving reports of the Mass graves found in the protectorate, The NoB has deployed a small force of Troops, aided by wildlife scientists and rescuers. Hopefully these troops will aide in the liberation of the protectorate, Furthermore, The NoB has sent The Potato Republic a report on the situation, stating that their next move should be to annex the protectorate and move on to the Northern Kumera.

The NoB also commends The Awful Empire for it's well thought out plans of action and thanks the nation for it's aide, The NoB would like to offer a section of it's own land as well as @Mercerenies land in it's entirety. Being that they have failed to expand due to a failing economy, The NoB is positive the land can easily be annexed and gifted to a nation more capable of running itself.

They have also deployed a small fleet, consisting of many small attack ships, as well as two large destroyers, to to patrol the inside of Storlandian waters, destroying any Underwater facilities. A small ground force has also been deployed, moving through the mainland and pushing Storlandian troops back, effectively wiping them out. The troops have set up several small temporary Medical Tents, allied troops may use these places to rest and seek any medical attention.

The Potato Republic has continued to secure areas of the protectorate following discussions with the NoB. They have also relocated ships near Pebble Beach and Southern Kumura.

Following the NoB's successful push-back of Storlandia explorers and troops north of Mountstache, the Potato Republic has moved back troops and redeployed them around the nearby lake.

A new missile silo, marked by the X on Southern Kumura, will be deploying an attack after the next 4 updates of the map. Details are slim, but it is expected to be aimed at Northern Kumura. Troops have followed the coast of Southern Kumura up to Northern Kumura, but have slowed due to Storlandia resistance.



EDIT: by the way here is a gif of the map so far

As they approach Misulandian fortifications, it becomes harder and harder for DPRC to retake its northeastern territories, so DPRC takes a different approach.

They build an enormous ballista capable of attacking distant targets. It has just enough range to hit the furthest Misulandian fort on this side of the sea. It should be operational by next turn.

This technology is somewhat outdated, however, so research and preparations for the construction of a longer ranged weapon begin. It's estimated this project will be completed in around two turns, after which the construction can start.

Resources are limited, of course, so in order to achieve this the amount of supplies sent down the river is decreased considerably. This is considered an acceptable risk, as most Misulandian forces there are weakened and surrounded, cut off from the outside world and each other, so it shouldn't be as difficult to retake those territories as it once was.

The navy do their stuff, a Misuian vessel is captured. A little more misuian land is captured. A mini-factory is set up, the purpose of this is to drain the pond. An underwater factory is captured. The navy attack the sea-dragons. A smaller section of the navy makes its way to the arctic base.

The Storlandian shields are left on to purposefully completely burn them out, they will be completely unusable should Storlandia attempt to retake its continent.

Awful Empire forces retreat from neutral territory and regroup in the mainland of the south continent.

The ballista fires at the nearest fort and begins dissolving the fortress. The destruction is not exactly instantaneous, but it's useful nonetheless.

Research is going well.

The Potato Republic deploys new ships east of Southern Kumura. The lake north of Mountstache is being referred to as Invasion Lake at this point.

The missile silo in Southern Kumura is primed to release a missile against Storlandia.
