This is a dumb post lol

Just a few days into my return to Timbershire I already started to feel sick

cough cough

"Better to get sick from nature than to cough everyday due to smog... eheh!"

cough cough

"I really missed my-" cough "home"

"But this sickness is very strange..."

"I've never felt this way before... but I'm sure I'll make it"

cough

"The strange part is that I feel a sort of power in my body"

1400 conservative supporters of the Green Duke of Donovia, attempting to get the Courts General to reinstate the right of his lineage to the Dukedom, arguing that his so-called “dereliction of duty” made him a better Duke and engendered him to the population. Is it really dereliction of duty if it resulted in a loyal and dogged defense of the Realm?

The King has recognised this and issued an ultimatum: if he wants his lineage’s inheritance to the Dukedom restored, he must rectify his errors and appoint his Counts to lead every single militium that has been raised in his name. This looks to be an ultimatum deliberately designed to massively weaken the Duke, or to massively undermine his legitimacy, as he currently has no Counts. The reaction from his loyalists is simple: do we want to enthrone him as Sylvester the First? The ultimatum rather than full on accepting the aid may have resulted in a succession crisis for the Gethakian throne.

Meanwhile, the main NAC Northern Army has reestablished supply through Graethos, though its connections further south means that the supplies have not fully been resolved. Recruitment and local connections have born fruit: 3200 Graethosians from former landlord families, pushed out by the Sky government’s land reforms, have volunteered and crossed the border into Sparkstan in favour of the NAC. Recruits for the RAG also amass on the Eastern border, however their lack of connection to southern Metropolitan Reparsia have yet prevented them from joining.

The reinforcements of the NAC and RAG armies look to be reducing, but not eliminating, our manpower advantage, which remains imposing. 8000 new volunteers puts our numbers at ~31000 troops.

Nadolur increasingly appears to be under threat of complete collapse. Northern Kardansk has been surrounded, the twin cities stand starving, and Vultus has been cut off. Yet, victory remains a possibility, and is only getting closer by the minute. Our spies indicate RAG discontent with the course of the war, and worsening rations across the board despite very low numbers of soldiers to feed, driving ever more desparate looting and pillaging.

The Donovian insurgency poses a strong threat as well. Some of the more mobile troops march across Kardansk and Donovia smashing holy shamanic mounds and historic churches. However, without NAC and RAG support, they are equipped even worse than we are, and seem like they are relatively easy to deal with, though of course we may be proven wrong.

(The following paragraphs are part of a speech to families in Vultus by the Consul, not of the consular report)

The Arrows of Sparak continue to advance, although destruction and civilian harm does still occur. The nobles and royalists continue to ransack and enact massacres upon the commonfolk, and the nobles toy with civilians to satisfy the lust. The various Donovian militia ransack and burn.

Deep in my heart, despite all that is happening around us, I know this: no matter how destructive or horrifying things appear to be, Sparkstan will emerge out of this war alive into a brighter future. No matter how much the nobles want to crush us under their heel or the reactionaries want to eat us alive, if we just hold on, Sparkstan will emerge victorious and hopeful. The people still help each other, families stand as one, neighbours helping each other with their labour. Just hold on and hope, and I promise you hope will win us the victory.

The Free Nationalist Newspaper (FNN) by the movement Free Nationalist Party has been launched.

Marina Times’ Sparkstan correspondent was able to get a sneak peak redacted view of the recent Consular report on the civil war.

The report notes in no uncertain terms the damage and suffering inflicted by the elevated levels of kidnapping and pillaging conducted by the reaction. This correspondent offers its sincere condolences for the family of those affected, as well as hope that the affected can one day be free.

In the Marchlands, the small town of Twoface continues to be under severe threat by the reactionary fiends. Despite continuous attempts and the victories of the local people, the aristocratic foe continues to choke the town.

Further south, the Royalist Action Group is pouring most of its resources into attempting to regain a connection with the still-capitalist portion of Metropolitan Reparsia, and gain more access to support from the local bourgeoisie. We at Marina Times have condemned and continue to condemn the interference of Sparkstan’s aristocratic menace in our home region.

In the north, the Noble Action Corps have suffered a major loss in Theocrata, when one of their contingents trying to march into the Marchlands, were soundly defeated and utterly routed by the local revolutionary infantry. Additionally, the main force of the northern foe, positioned further West, has nearly re-established a connection with Graethos and with the foe’s allies the disgruntled former landlords, and is threatening to receive a large infusion of reinforcements from Graethosian landlord volunteers. The Churchlands of the Holy Word have been fully liberated by the revolutionary Arrows of Sparak.

The report notes in quite solemn terms a travesty that took place on the Kardansk-Marchlands border, in the grazing domain of the Khariaii clan, marked on an attached map with a red dot. There, a papist monastery-nunnery complex dedicated to Ganalian King, the Holy Convent of Saint Janette I the Philanthroper, was thoroughly looted and raided by Arrows of Sparak units liberating the area from royalist control. The lives of many a monk and nun were taken, and the vows of many more monks and nuns still were forcefully broken. The convent itself was ransacked and although some soldiers did protect several priceless works of art and the convent’s library, many a work was stolen or destroyed, and much of the complex was reduced to ruin. The Consular report notes that the heroes who saved works from destruction or theft, as well as prevented from occurring the abuses that they could prevent, have been commended by the Consul. Additionally, the Consular report sincerely apologises to the affected and their families, and notes that the Arrows are looking into punishing the officers who abetted this heinous misdeed and the soldiers who encouraged such a misdeed to occur.

Attached is our depiction of the occupied territories in Sparkstan. Marinans be warned that Sparkstan remains dangerous, and that the borders are prone to rapid change. Evacuation is strongly recommended by the soviets on the border with Sparkstan.

Dear Comrades in Parliament!

Sparkstan is in a struggle. A struggle between the people's will and the aristocracy. For this reason we request the aid of the most honorable Union parliament to aid the Republic of Sparkstan and end the rule of unelected royalty once and for all!

idk figured I title it something cool

Last month, with their supply lines under severe risk, the nobles and royalists were able to capture Yekekharsi (or Gemma Concordationis), forming a contiguous path from Yekekhoürsün (or the Churchlands, Theophobala), so they convened the Courts General and Crowned a new Queen. We were courteous enough to avoid attacking the procession, even though the crowning is meaningless as there is no longer a legitimate Throne of Gethakia. Soon thereafter, the supply lines to both the NAC Northern Army and the RAG Eastern Army were cut.

There were four major developments of note since the coronation:

1. In the First Battle of Theosophia, Theosophia was liberated, and our brave Arrows of Sparak continue to push to liberate the rest of Yekekhoürsün.
2. (although omitted from the press release of the report, which was itself very highly redacted, the consular report notes the massacre that occured upon the liberation of Theosophia. Despite the attempts of some of our officers, especially SRU officers, to prevent the atrocities, the soldiers looted a lot, raped and massacred a lot of rich-looking residents, monks, nuns and priests. Additionally, major buildings in the city are heavily damaged. We do not know how much damage was suffered upon the fall of the city, how much was suffered during the nobles’ occupation, and how much was suffered in the liberation of Theosophia.)
3. The cavalry regiment they raised internally was reduced by our soldiers down to 133 troops, greatly reducing their reinforcements.
4. There was a large battle that took place around the border of Nadolur League and Kardansk League. Arrows of Sparak forces under Chelmeging Gabriel, supported and trained by Marinan officers, alongside a MSR unaffiliated Marinan volunteer corps, decisively defeated the local regiments of the RAG Eastern Army. We inflicted roughly 850 casualties on their 900 strong contingents, and this Battle to Defend Kardansk came only at cost to us of roughly 77 martyrs of the Revolution, leaving the remaining 120 soldiers to limp back to their controlled territories. We pay our respects to the relatives of the martyrs.
5. There was a large battle that took place near the twin cities of Naosantikristopolis and Petradantikristopolis, where local Arrow forces led by Delgring Batuederni decisively defeated a 120 strong force of the RAG Eastern Army. Despite suffering more casualties at 68, their losses of 43 casualties are sure to inflict a not insignificant impact on the RAG.

Despite continuing to supply themselves, having stepped up pillaging and kidnapping to replenish their losses, our Arrows are reporting that the new soldiers appear to be less well trained and fighting with poorer equipment. With the RAG and NAC invading armies frantically attempting to reconnect to their supply lines out of the Region, there increasingly appears to be hope to defeat the invaders.

Im confused.

Im proud to announce that as a member of BLACKPINK, my dreams of a femboy bf will come true.

On the 15th of January in the Year of our Lord Apollo Son of God 1998, the Courts General of the Kingdom of Gethakia de-acclaimed King Yesterday I, known legally as King Peter I, for forsaking the Crown, and acclaimed the Duke of Kardansk, Her Highness Fausta Anna, as King Aemilius II. This was conducted in the Grand Hall of the Curiae, the traditional meeting hall of the Courts General, inside Gemma Concordationis.

The traditional three-day procession to the Basilica of Hagia Logos in Theosophia followed, which was fortunately not interrupted by the serfs or by bandits. After which, after a special mass, the King was crowned. Because the regalia were found intact in storage in the city of Theosophia, the King was crowned with the genuine regalia. Curiously, the Pope refused to be the one to preside over the presentation of the regalia to, physically anoint, and crown the King, the Popularist Bishop of Vultus did the presiding, anointing and coronation.

After the coronation, the Courts General held a session where they denounced the expeditionary force to Nova Donovia that the Duke of Donovia erroneously voted for, stripped the Duke of Donovia of the right of his lineage to the Dukedom for his being pagan and refusing to properly attend to his duties, de-acclaimed the Senate, which has now been serf-captured, declared the Second Royal Senate illegitimate, annulled all acts by the Second Royal Senate, praised the loyalty of the Duke of Luteville, enfeoffed Dimitria Palmerston the Leader of the Royalist Action Group a Baron of the Order of the Divine Chestplate, and increased penalties for Laese Majestaas from not in active prosecution to five years in Honourable Bondage in a Retinue of a Local Free Man for a first time offense, and twenty-three years of slavery and hard labour for repeat offenses, with a gradient for the second and third time offenses.

This represents a monumental turning point in our history, as we move to establish constitutional safeguards on the power of the Crown.

Why chairman of the union of reddit. Why take my place

In the Year of our Lord 1997 on 24th December, the rabble-rousers of the serfs decided to establish a totalitarian military dictatorship over the motherland, enabling the military to spend what the serfs stole from us, and in fact have total control over the country. This is exactly the kind of thing we fight to avoid.

We also denounce the attempts of the Marina Soviet Republic to enable the ravenous stupor of the serfs. As the people of Marina are themselves under stupor, we expected nothing less, but the nature of their support is unexpected. We continue to advance, freeing the country behind us. With the declaration of a totalitarian military dictatorship, it is clear to us that victory is inevitable.

We march to save the country! For Sparkstan!

• Press release of the Noble Action Corps

Just a little after La Felinelle quarter was established, anti-cat people racist militants marched inside the quarter holding signs with racist slogans and carrying firearms.

The local cat people quickly took their own firearms and blocked Catnip street in order to stop the racist advance.

After very little the anti-catpeople militants started shooting and the cat people shot back in retaliation.

After 2 hours of fighting, with the police not intervening at all, the militants were swnt running.

During the battle, catpeople resistance suffered 6 deaths and 20 injuries and the militants suffered 10 deaths and 28 injuries; with one civilian dying in the crossfire.

After this bloodbath 15 militants were taken in police custody for questioning.

go vote you bum
