International Incidents-The Great Volopian Revolution

Ray1333

Lord of Altera
On the day of this writing, a large scale revolution began taking place in Volopia. After years of oppressive exploitation by the Coroleratocracy, the people of Volopia revolted in a long and hard battle for freedom. The biggest attribution was the coordination of several important people to bring down the capatilist sin in Volopia and give rise to the newly emerging Socialist Meritocracy Party. Bot sides are requesting assistance in the conflict, and both appearingly are seeming to stretch themselves thin.

Consider this an international incidents RP. I myself will be going statistical with both sides, but will be cheering on the revolutionaries. The event will officially end with the resolution of RP, or reforms with issues changing it to the point that the Revolutionaries win the war; whichever comes later.

The war begins with a series of bombings in Displace Corperation power plants in and around Convergence City, hosted by a group known as The Movement. Armed civilians and rebelling military factions, with greater numbers, are openly clashing with the privately owned Army. The Corperatocracy is currently ahead, but the rising number of civilians taking up arms is gradually making that statement obsolete. Without the military training, vehicular support, and general incoordination will result in this being very bloody without outside assistance. Meanwhile, the Corperatocracy is trying to quickly preform a counter offensive against the ensuring horde of revolutionaries; the entire affair has caught them surprised, and the lack only manpower to fuel their stockpiled war machine.

The situation in Volopia has progressed bloodily through its first week. The two opposing fronts, the Rebels and the Corporations, have a violently shifting front lines. So far, although claiming to adhere to a single policy, Rebel brigades are separated and chaotic across the fractured nation. The official government has induced martial law, and prisons are emptied to supply penal soldiers; these same people often fighting ex-convicts fighting for rebelling factions. While the official rebel factions, jointly calling themselves the Coalition of Counter-Capitilism (CCC), are spread out in small territories throughout the nation, the mass chaos happening within major metropolises from lawless mobs and fledgling terrorist groups attempting to gain control is making the official government fight a multi-front inner war. The CCC is arming itself as heavy as it can, but is very much lacking. In the best scenarios, the battles are fought by the revolting divisions who left the main of the Volopian Grand Army at the start of the affair, and at worse scenarios, by insurgent guerrilla armed with Molotovs, illegally obtained RPGs, and ARK-64 (Basically AK-47) assault rifles, and 50. calibre gun technicals. The war looks bad from here.

But can war be any other way?

(More we put into it, more we get out of it. Just to specify on this particular item's timeframe, I need to make Volopia's classification "Iron Fist Socialists". That means destroying the economic freedoms, keeping political where it is, and rising personal. So yeah, no huge rush.)

The morning sunlight filters through the blinds, casting lines across the floor in front of a camera, which is focused on a Volopian Corporate Interest Security officer, reading a prewritten speech off a sheet of paper, and four figures behind him; two of which are on the floor with guns to their heads.
"Loyal Volopians! Our glory is immense! We have the most weapons! We have the most money! We have all that matters, except you! We are the best army in the entire world, but our numbers dwindle against these dissenting terrorists!"
Walking off screen, the camera focuses on the others: as expected, two masked VCIS troops are pointing assault rifles at two people dressed in civilian clothes and covered in scars and open wounds, likely from torture. The officer walks behind them and faces the camera, his arms crossed.
"These traitors deny our power! They deny the greatness of our great and glorious fortress of fortune! These are the faces of those who slaughter the innocent! Join the VCIS. Fight for true, gold, and glittering market freedom!"
The officer walks off screen, and the camera focuses out as the soldiers execute the two.

The transmission goes off the Volopian Emergency Public Broadcast System.

*A powerful broadcast is given from space to the capitals of the nations responding to the democratic council*

The USNT makes the accusations that the legitimate and ruling government known as Volopia is guilty of the crime of ignoring the needs of it's people. The State's official perspective on the current events is that Volopia is incapable of dealing with the situation in a responsible manor. If the legitimate government known as Volopia continues their current agenda without altering their methods, a mass genocide is expected. The USNT finds this unacceptable and avoidable, hence the State issues a requests for diplomatic counseling on the matters at hand.

In response to Tiarchan broadcasting, different messages have been sent from the waring factions. While the official Volopian government itself has not commented, the VCIS have been more than happy to release the following:
" 'We shalt not waver, we shalt not falter!' These are the words of the Founders, and still the words of Volopia! The true Volopia! We are the right, the glorious, we are so great as to be exempt from any rule! We shall yield to no foreign power and no pathetic dissident uprising!"
At the same time, the rebelling Coalition has jointly responded that they shall gladly accept any foreign aid, and shall appeal to the rest of the Democratic Council for military and domestic aid.

In relation, however, the situation in the nation has became much worse. Although the main conflict rages on, many smaller brigades have been forming or breaking off from the larger groups, and have been marauding and pillaging the already fractured land.

Fires rage in the streets of major cities as Coalition forces try desperately to liberate more citizens from their slavery, which, depending on their particular location, is not always metaphorical. Against the seemingly overwhelming odds of a military force in full preparedness for war, they suffer from destitution of arms, armor, ammo, and most of all food- the many refuges and soldiers living in CCC controlled zones are in dire need of nourishment, for VCIS forces are consistently blocking off almost all but the most well-smuggled supplies; the CCC can hardly afford to run their few vehicles for combat, lead alone the fleet of trucks and planes they need to run any form of supply line.

OOC: So much as I adore extensive monologging, there are only so many ways to describe people throwing Molotovs.

The silence of a once peaceful suburban community is broken as the sounds of approaching vehicles grows louder. Mothers rush their children inside, and many lock the doors and turn out the lights, as the frenzied civilians rush to their homes. The sounds of gunfire soon distinguish themselves from the vehicle's noise, and soon the vehicles themselves are right on top of the panicked town.

The first vehicles that arrive, some time after the gunfire stops, are a somewhat motley group of vehicles; a windowless van, a pair of technicals with masked gunners, and what would appear to be what was once a Volopian Army supply truck now graffitied with rebel colors. Armed rebels, their weapons on their backs, jump out of the truck and begin unloading crates onto a nearby yard.

Out of the van emerges more rebels, two with RPGs. One of them climbs on top of the van and holds a loudspeaker to his face. His voice then echoes through the silent, but obviously inhabited town. "Good people! Your plees and cries of starvation and destitution have been answered! Behold, despite the dispicable imperialistic government's lies of having hardly anything to feed its own troops, I carry with me the supply truck that, before being liberated, was carrying these supplies to a leading Volopian government official's home!" At this, several rebels take crowbars to some of the crates, revealing the contents to be expensive foodstuffs, in excess amounts, bringing disbelief to the eyes of those brave enough to stair from the window. "Do you see why we fight!? As the people starve, those rich pigs stuff themselves silly! But we, the vanguard of truth, warriors of the people, have taken this to give to you, good people! Alas, problems arise: they send a groups here to slaughter the men under my command, for doing this great deed. Any and all able-bodied men and women willing to fight for their freedom, rally to me now! Join us here, to fight the oppressor, and your family will have not to worry about going hungry in this dreadful war!"

It is not long before doors are unlocked, and people begin trickling in twos and threes. A soldier shouts to them. "These crates with the red markings are munitions, ARK-64 to be percise. One gun and one two magazines to each of you." Now armed themselves, the now-rebels and former rebels turn their attention with sudden horror at the sound of approaching vehicles.

Volopian forces come into sight-range: two Humvee-like vehicles, one looking like it took quite a beating, and a Bobby tank: a cheap massed-produced tank with a short barrel and light armor that the large corporations once sold to insurgent groups just like this.

They approach quickly, and the rebels take cover against the machine gun fire. The troops jumping off the Humvees are mowed down indiscriminately by the 50 caliburs on the technicals, but this attracts dangerous attention. The tank fire a round at one of the technicals, and the well-aimed shot destroys the vehicle and its crew. Now, with the enemies attention on the other technical (which now fires on the damaged Humvee,) the rebels jumps from their hiding places and cover, and begin firing on the vehicles. The RPG launchers find their mark on a Humvee, the driver jumping out and into the the street as his vehicle explodes. Under sustained fire, the other Humvee turns its attention to the rebels as it shoots down many of the civilians in their ranks. However, it is short lived as another RPG shot finds it; no driver jumps out. The tank, seeing the likely incoming defeat, drives in reverse as fast as it can. It's journey is quickly met with a brief-but-devastating meeting with a rebel hijacker, who jumps on top of and enters the vehicle, killing the crew and shouting their victory to the rebel soldiers.

The man with the loudspeaker re-mounts the van. "We win this day, but the war is far from over! Take your food, take one crate per three people in the family of the who fought. Turn in your weapon and return home...or join in the fight again! Liberate your fellow oppressed! Join us, without the crates in the truck there will be plenty room for all willing to come and join our righteous war! Glory to the Great Revolution!" With this, he jumps down and re-enters the van. Simutainiously, several now-armed civilians mount the truck, while many others who intend to go to say goodbye to their loved ones. The few that remain take the crates to the families of those who perished. Within an hour, the rebel convoy leaves for its own home, the conversations in the truck audible over the truck itself.

And the international news team, who had been hidden and recording the entire affair, quickly packs up to give the video to its supperiors, turning this entire affair into a widely known event.

"Good morning, this is DCHW News with Guthry Saveh and Charles Aligatry reporting live."
A pair news anchors are on screen, an edited-in image of the fighting in Volopia between them. The first one, Guthry, speaks:
"Good morning, although for many it is far from such; heavy fighting continues to engulf the streets of the once-prosperous nation of Volopia. Our own Bob Cagree is in the fractured nation now reporting. Bob, how is it down there?"
The screen changes to Bob's cameraman's feed in Volopia.
"Not good, Guthry, not good at all. Behind me, you can see that we aren't actually in the city because of the development I am to report: last week, three Rebel suicide bombers, one of which is in military custody, disguised themselves as a news crew and obliterated a Volopian Military convoy going through the city, which was presumably carrying high-ranking personnel of unknown number. Now, however, the Volopian forces are apparently firing at any vehicle, civilian or non, that comes within range without identification, often without warning. The situation shows no signs of improving, with both sides continually entrenching themselves to counter any attack from the other side. No clear end is in sight without foreign intervention, which both sides have at several times showed to have been willing to accept or even bargain for it."

Tourists have started opening fire on any building, vehicle or person bearing markings of the rebellion. Even women, children or even those who are unclear about their allegiance are shot on sight.
They seem to have infiltrated society and are adopting tactics of terror and guerilla warfare, sowing chaos among the rebels. Armed with state of the art weaponry and trained by officers of Arcturix, morale and faith high in the "Overlord" they seem to lack fear of death as they know they will be in a better place if they serve their duty. Sometimes strapping bombs to children and sending them towards rebels, or blowing up civilian buildings, these tourists seem to see no value of the Volopian life. When a group of these alien foreigners is threatened to be captured, they either kill themselves or shoot eachother to prevent capture.

They talk in a foreign language, but are capable of talking the Volopian language and seem to not have a clear allegiance, however it is easily guessed that its a foreign power or maybe the corporation supporting them.
They lack heavy weaponry or vehicles, but they are armed with small arms and explosives, while well trained they lack individual thought and often regress into disorganization if there is no clear leader.


They have been sighted to sneak into houses, comitting massacres, cutting heads of the innocent, mostly civilians, if possible rebels or families of rebels.
They toss the heads out in the streets as a warning, in a grotesque display of cruelty, jaws split open, eyes gouged out or other extremities removed are all too common occurances.
The sight of bloodied corpses hanging from the trees or from buildings has become a familiar sight in Volopia.

Rebel forces, surprised by the emergence of forces using tactics even the Corporation would disagree with, would be going on the defensive, setting up more permanent defensive bases and ambush points. The Corporation, however, is taking more extensive measures. Without any preemptive contact with them, and not knowing any more about them besides that they are foreigners gaining military control in what they consider their nation, Displace Inc. is taking drastic offensive measures, including, but not limited to, mowing down entire crowds at the first sign of trouble. But the question still remains among both: common foreign enemy, third-party rebel brigands, or unannounced Corporate ally?

The whirring sound of propellers echoes through the air as well as intercoms coming from vertibirds that are marked with the flag of the Theocracy of Nirtithan. Each vertibird troop transport opens fire on any and all "tourists" seen committing such horrible atrocities using a 5mm minigun before landing and unloading fifteen men each: fourteen standard issue Nirtithanian troops, and one chaplain to help with the wounded civilians and rebels if needed. The soldiers march out and hunt for any of the "tourists", seeming to not value the lives of the enemy in any way, shape, or form, burning any fortification they set up.
The soldiers themselves are highly trained and well armed and led, able to think on their own if their commanders are taken out.

If fired upon by rebel or Corporation forces, these soldiers will simply not return fire and will simply move to a different location.
Chaplains will ask to help the wounded of the Rebels, having medical training and only armed with a simple 9mm pistol.

And the soldiers


And chaplain, though lacking the staff

Coalition forces would be more than happy to have them on the ground, and would be willing to provide full assistance to any needing it, including usage of their outposts and what-not. The Corporation, as with the Terror-tourist, would continue to fight the idea of foreign invasion and would fight them openly, just as hard as they would fight the others.

(Isn't that airspace violation from Nirtithan, guys? That's a usually grave diplomatic act, unless warned prior.... If i was the Corporation, I wouldve launched homing ground-to-air missiles towards those vertibirds...)
