Lelouch Vi Britannia

Expand into Quebec, and under Michigan

January 19, 2019 (Britannian Date) The sound of vehicles moving and soldiers transporting goods echoed all around Michigan as the Britannian Military pushed into former Nova Empire territory to secure their stockpiles, resources, and anything they could get their hands on. As such it required a great deal of manpower from the military that had largely been standing guard on the border in case of a large scale conflict. Thankfully, the end is relative peace with a more prosperous Empire. "Correct Lelouch, the Challenger III preformed up to expectation and should be the new main battle tank of the Empire. It will be the image of rebirth for Britannia alongside the other equipment we are using." Anya spoke to Lelouch as she surveyed the influx of troops on the border. "Mhmm, Yes we did let some of roam free and tested our weapon on them in the open….Yes….I'm more worried about civilians thinking they were human. Understood, Anya out." The call ended with the mass escort of civilians into the Empire which would be used to boost the Empire's numbers. "That's two problems sorted out, what do we have for Zodiac?" C.C sat at the edge of couch near Lelouch who was pacing around the room concerned. "If you really think it's her then you should act, this war is costing your friend's countrymen more than ours." Lelouch shook his head as C.C lectured Lelouch as glanced to his laptop with a report already all typed up. "You're right, I won't let the blood we have spilt to be in vain." Lelouch hit enter as the report encoded and was sent to the Laurentian government. "Project Swine is ready for field testing. I've already given the Other Division clearance." :Classified for Laurentian High Government: Commander Zero, aka Zodiac International's Leader location has been discovered and a small window is now open for action. We highly suggest using Project SwedishFish for this operation due to the close proximity of enemy nations. The target is an apparent Civilian Cruiser named the SwordFish. Their location is ENCODED. Attack this ship as if it were a HVT, not a single soul on this ship should survive. Further details have been sent up.

January 17, 2018 (Britannian Date) "New Year…New Weapons. That's how the saying goes is it not?" Lelouch sat on his couch surrounded with the Royal Britannian Knights and top commanders of The Royal Britannian Armed Forces. They were all relaxing in their seats as they spoke to one another as Lelouch prepared to address them all. Camelot had been hard at work producing and upgrading weapons for Britannia in before the Toronto Conference was called Into session to avoid such weapons from being used. However, as the Zodiac War dragged on and nations fell around the Empire something had to be done. "Camelot has been finalizing up some projects in the meantime with our orders. Due to the excessive amount of Sakuradite acquired I believe we are able to fully create our defence system required on our borders." Suzaku read from his notes handed to him from the other members of Camelot as the others listened planning their next course of action. "Then our plan with Arabia is done isn't it? We have what we came for correct Suzaku?" Lelouch gestured to the map of the Empire pointing in the Arabian region. "We are, we can leave almost the entire region to the natives, chances of a new threat in the region in minimal." Suzaku replied as the meeting was wrapping up. "If we are done here…perhaps we can test the new weapons on the border?" Anya chipped in via video call. "The Nova Empire has collapsed and ensuring any valuable resources go straight to us could help us in the long-run." The others nodded as Anya finished explaining the situation. Lelouch took this into consideration as now the only major threat in the world was Walpurgis and Mog[Corp]. "Alright, deploy our Challenger III Tanks and advance around the Lakes while our main force will push from the East Coast farther inland near Michigan. In the coming days we should be successful." The others nodded as Lelouch turned his attention to stare at a stain on the map in Asia. "And prepare Project Swine." Lelouch finished his briefing to the others. Once complete his plan was pushed into motion.

“Bismillah, In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.” Today is a most joyous day in the Grand Sufi Order as the Sultan has implemented a number of changes to the country to close off the year as we enter a new age. These changes mainly address military, foreign affairs, internal affairs, and more. These changes will be covered shortly by the respected Sheikhs and their departments to better allow the country, and world to know the government of the GSO. As for the Military a few major changes and purchases have been made. Mandatory Service has been implemented for all civilians reaching the age of 18 who must serve a year. While this policy is expected to face backlash, the government has emphasized the need to have a defence ready nation in an increasingly hostile world. Which leads up to the multi-billion purchases completed between France and the Grand Sufi Order. With 20 Destroyers and 2 Carriers being purchased from France and being supplied into the Navy once being completed. The rest of the Navy such as Cruisers, Submarines and so on will be completed by the country itself as to have the ability to maintain and build their own equipment. Next up would be the Foreign Affairs that have been a bit slow to kick off as expected. However, a majority of goals have been achieved in the terms of being able to remain neutral in the game of Empires. SoE: In order to prevent history from repeating itself and prevent bloodshed in the Middle East both governments were at the very least able to agree not to wage war on one another and not expand into one another areas of interest. France: France has been the major contributor to expand into the friendly aspect of the Grand Sufi Order. Not only were they able to achieve embassies, they were also able to compile military contracts in order to ensure the Middle East would be free from Western Imperialism. USSR: No major diplomatic moves have been made nor planned for the fear it would drag the Grand Sufi Order into combat. However, meeting with the USSR government in hopes to avoid future conflict has gone through and is hopefully expected to run smoothly. Rokkenjima: The nation far East and unknown to mankind has so far been the least productive. Mainly due to the hidden fear of what the nation is capable of and what they truly are places the GSO is a harmful spot has made the nation reluctant to fully pledge dedication to fully establishing diplomatic ties. However, a GSO embassy was successfully accepted in Rokkenjima proving that a future between the nations isn’t impossible. A few other nations have been able to establish embassies and begin diplomacy with the GSO including Germany, the US, and British Empire. While no further advancements were made, the beginning of diplomacy is still a step in the right direction. For Internal Affairs France has been pledging vast amounts of money into the GSO’s military and economy. While details can’t be revealed what can be published is that the contract established between the nations will generate billions of dollars for both nations and advance the GSO’s military in terms of supplies and logistics. Much more is expected to occur as the country slowly but surely advances to collaborate with other countries. However, the GSO is careful to ensure they are able to maintain their neutral status in the event neighbouring countries wage war on one another.

Denied Wintery has notified me of being inactive and as such remains on the map Same goes with Canada and the Meta Board

:Classified: The new F.L.E.I.J.A's after a long while in production and research have been completed and quietly added into missile silos all across Britannia. With the new research multiple variants for different tasks have been created although some areas will be unreachable due to distance. The final plans are nearing completion on how far they can be deployed without any submarines or without the help of Fort Damocles. Excalibur Mark II Knightmare Frames have been successful in replacing all former Knightmare Frames in Britannia's armoury. With the rest being sold to allies in various deals including Laurentia and Wintery as mainly light vehicle tools. Meanwhile the new Knightmare's which are now more armed, protected, and faster are able to play a greater role in the Britannian Homeland while newer heavy vehicles are created to create the spine of the formations used in projected attacks. To back up the projection of these weapons and the orders from Laurentia more Navy Projects have been undertaken. Four more IceFish vehicles are under production, two of which will go straight to Laurentia and the others entering Britannia's control. All the while two more carrier groups are also put into construction to boost the total number of fleets to five. All of which is aimed to be completed in a few weeks to a couple months depending on the dedication on the project. Finally, the Challenger III Tank research has been completed from exploits mainly in Russia. While a few were deployed near the Nova Empire border the main force of them are yet to be produced for a few more Orbis weeks. By then it will be projected every Tank in Britannia's arsenal will be upgraded and in fighting shape in case a war happens. Even then, for now much of the plan remains classified.

Eastern Corner of Britannian/Nova border expansion

December 28, 2017 (Britannian Date) Over the course of the Britannian year the focus has mainly been on an outward expansion. Britannia was gaining land in Arabia, Italy, Balkans, Korea, Hong Kong and so on. However this move was not always met peacefully. The major competitor was Mog[Corp] when they highlighted the weak points of the Empire. It was the end of Arabian expansion and Korean force when Britannia was unable to lay full force to the enemy due to the distance. As such the Emperor devised a new plan. As The Nova Empire drew the line in the USA and raids conducted on Britannias border became fatal it was time for action. A homeland attack by Mog[Corp] could never be as damaging if Britannias direct neighbour attacked. The undefeated border and occupied minds would be unable to help in an hour of need. The risk was too high for too long. At the strike of dawn 50 Challenger III tanks occupied by a small force of Knightmares, support VTOLs and infantry advanced from the Eastern unclaimed border near the Nova Empire and moved to the mid-west securing a large chunk of land. The resistance was little to none as Britannia had been importing their citizens to the contested land between the Empires to eliminate a possible enemy approach. Now Britannia was changing direction back to the heart and adapting a new plan by the Emperor.

@Ripper Excellent, another comic another amount of time I am pleased that you feed my addiction passion. I look forward to more comics and such.... Good Job as always :3

Moments after the final statue of the near past fell in Arabia it marked the beginning of a new era. The Grand Sufi Order established the Grand Sufi Sultanate as their new nation. The people of Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Jordon and so on would finally be reunited as a single people. As the old era closes a new one begins. The Grand Sufi Order gives its greeting to the world and their people. The Grand Sultan has also requested to let world leaders know that the Grand Sufi Order has no interest in waging war across lands nor an interest in subjugating the innocent. This nation will stand as a strong pillar of a peaceful nation willing to use the pen before the sword. As well as create a nation built on the spiritual ideals of Islam and Sufism. As the Grand Sufi Order begins finishing clearing their near past new improvements will begin sweeping the nation. These changes include creating provinces within the nation to create an easier nation to govern and appointing Emir’s to lead said provinces. Establishing the armed forces and their budget, re-working the economy, education system, and so on. These initial payments being made with the recently discovered hoarded gold from the Arabian Era. Once complete as the new year rolls in the nation should be fully complete and ready to face the challenges of the world. A final notification being that diplomatic meetings are open. That any leaders that wish to establish formal ties to contact the Sheikh of Foreign Affairs and prepare a visit to or from either nation. While the door is open, we choose who we do business with and who we don’t. Proper manners are expected, and will be returned. Hopefully, all visits will run smoothly and the world will stand closer to peace.

This new nation is built on a new set of ideals never before seen on the global stage. The Grand Sufi Order is built on the Sufi ideals hidden inside Islam’s spiritual core. Ironically, they have been born from decades of Imperial Colonial Rule and Sadistic Radical Islam rule finally ushering in a nation governed by the people in hopes there will be a strong nation that will unite the Muslims of the Middle East.

While no government buildings lay there, it is where the Sultan resides. To this day it remains open to all three Abrahamic faiths continuing from the final days of the Arabian Caliphate. Other major cities dot around close to the coast and lakes most of which have been restored to their former beauty with the hint of modernism. However, it isn’t uncommon to see someone riding a Camal to beat the traffic. While the Grand Sufi Order is a nation with a state religion it is not enforced on it’s subjects. Similar to the old Ottomans they use “Tax and Conquer” rather than “Convert and Conquer”. This has left the nation open to various god-fearing faiths from around the world including Buddhists. However, this doesn’t rid the distaste and hidden dislike for those who reject god all together. Thankfully, law has kept much of this under control with the revisited Sharia and Modern Laws.

December 12, 2017 (Britannian Date) With an increased presence of hostile threats both domestic and foreign the idea of an increased military has emerged in the minds of Britannian Citizens. However, the idea of pouring more money into war did not appeal to many Britannian Citizens and wouldn't have the support of The Holy Britannian Knights. Only one solution remained to satisfy both parties. The Emperor's Guard, Britannia's elite paramilitary force was to be increased by 50% and deployed overseas. The timeframe for the recruitment was to be finished by the Emperor's birthday. However, the training for the new recruits and arming them would be completed a few orbis months after recruitment. The discreet process is expected to go unnoticed due to the nature of the Emperor's guard. Any eyes or surveillance of the group is highly censored mainly due to the fear the enemy may know more about the Guard than they should. While the numbers were to increase, the deployment of the Guard would be immediate as Britannia prepares for a final push to cripple their enemy. After a meeting with Operator Dokkaebi the Britannian Cyber Division was preparing for a massive leak dependent on the deployment of the guard. The Emperor's Guard were issued non-identifying uniforms and sent silently and quietly aboard trade and civilian vessels into Europe.

Treaty of Helsinki The Holy Britannian Empire known as HBE and Scandinavia hereby enter a treaty of friendship and allowance of Scandinavian waterways in order to boost trade between the two nations. This treaty will mark the first under King Ciel's rule and mark a new beginning for both nations which in history have deep routes stemming from the first monarch of Sweden to the present leader of Scandinavia. Thus, this treaty will serve as the dawn of a new era between The Holy Britannian Empire and Scandinavia. Terms: 1. The Holy Britannian Empire agrees to follow all rules and regulations when using Scandinavian waterways and Iceland to direct trade. 2. This treaty will serve as a foundation to future negotiations. 3. No WMDs may be traded or moved in Scandinavian waterways. 4. Scandinavian will allow HBE to trade using Scandinavian waterways. 5. Should any parties wish to cease trade or cut ties a 72 hour notice must be given in which preparations will be made to dismantle the trade network. Signed: HBE: His Imperial Majesty Emperor Lelouch Vi Britannia Scandinavia: His Majesty King Ciel Wolf

While I disagree with the enclaves idea I believe Rping a colonial development would make some sense, although going really deep into it would hinder the "casual" side of the RP that is allowed under the map rules. The RP isn't a PvP nor is it an isolated amount of bubbles with people inside rping without interaction. So a decision that prevents both would be the best choice. However, there is a similar idea to Enclaves and that being a type of guideline to subduing the population. This would be put into various stages where the one colonizing must spend 1 week colonizing the area (Getting trips to the area) and another week subduing the area based on how they feel (I.E. Either installing a native government or making the area an Autonomous region). This would increase how much one must post if they wish to have a colony and somewhat avoid a person virtually trapping other players and cutting them off from expanding. For what defines a colony personally I believe Colonies should be as they were earlier and that is each grouping of land away from the Homeland past a certain distance is a Colony. So per say a nation in the X area had two pieces of non-connected land in Y Area it would count as 2 colonies since they aren't connected and the land that divides it could be hostile making ill-suited to travel between land pieces and more incentive to reduce the spacing in between land. While the same wouldn't count with land divided by lakes since to establish a colony one must have the means to reach it by waterway.

This is the right area to post and you may continue to post. You DO NOT have to sign up for the map or anything. So long as you make posts about whats going on in your nation you are free to do so.

As Zodiac ships neared the Venice Colony they were soon to find out the ideal range to fire on Britannia was mined across the waterway. Any Zodiac ships that dared to push forward would either be sunk from mines or sunk from Britannian Destroyers as they sat in the safety of their port. However, the risk of chemicals forced all civilians to move further North away from danger zones in which Zodiac could attack from. On the other side, Britannian Destroyers in Arabia quickly dispatched to intercept Zodiac Destroyers before they reached Suez. It was clear Zodiac was looking for the most chaos and such Britannian ships were given the go-ahead to fire on any Zodiac ships nearing the Suez or leaving their own traditional waters. If Zodiac were to challenge Britannia with no help they would very easily begin loosing the East Med, which was something to happened due to the ill equipped Zodiac Navy. However, defending a small portion of their own waters was all Britannia was able to do so if they wished to avoid Mog[Corp] navy ships that were in the area. No shots had been fired on either side and Britannia wished to continue to play defensive. Security was enforced to be on guard of invasion or any aggressive actions being taken onto the other. Even though that meant Britannia was unable to stop the Zodiac Ships that were entering the Ocean, all that could be done is notify Laurentia of the flank attack and hope they caught them before they attacked.

Moments after Britannian Strategic Bombers made it over Laurentian Airspace the skies began to lit up with explosions. One after another the Britannian Bombers were shot down over Laurentia and plunged into the country-side away from populated areas however, the AA shells from Perpignan clearly left Homeland Britannian help out of the picture now as it was clear so long as Zodiac had AAs, Britannia was unable to help from the skies from risk of bombing allies. However, Britannian land troops did arrive in Laurentia and were quickly handed control over to the Laurentian Army as this was a war only Laurentia knew what to do in as it was on their soil. All troops were able to arrive safely thanks to the pressure Laurentia added to Zodiac along Spain and the coast. The Mog[Corp] interference however disallowed Britannia from sending in more troops from Home and Britannia stood down from sending over anymore troops from the East. Britannian ambassadors to Laurentia have been discussing the future of the conflict and future of Britannia's involvement.

Following the attacks in Laurentia and the murder of our borthers and sisters to the hands of terrorists we are now left with no choice but to aid our comrades. The Holy Britannian Empire and it's Special-Administrative Zone of the Greater Venice Area declare war on Zodiac International and their assets. All Britannian assets in Laurentia have been put on lockdown including the embassy. A comlink has been established with Laurentia to enure communication while the Rainbow Pact makes their own accords on dealing with this, Britannia will be the first to supply weapons and men to the frontlines to aid the Laurentians. The Holy Britannian Armed Forces will be sending overseas strategic bombers to aid the Laurentian in the air. While the Greater Venice Area will be supplying the Laurentians with IFVs, Tanks, Soldiers, and Destroyers. The arrangements to send them off to Laurentia have been arranged and we are expecting roughly 10,000 soldiers, 100 tanks, 500 IFVs and 50 bombers alongside their attack jets. Godspeed and Good luck on this war to our own soldiers, and the allies who will face Zodiac head-on.

Loan Canadian/Alaskan Islands to USA

Somewhere in North America :Classified between Britannia and the United States of America: "Thank you Emperor Lelouch, it was good talking with you." The American Ambassador and Lelouch shook hands as they collected their paperwork. "It's always a pleasure to be working with friends, I hope you enjoy your stay and we will be sending our own diplomats shortly." Lelouch escorted the ambassador off before closing the door as a cloaked man emerged from the Shadows looking towards Lelouch. "So...you had me shivered in the Canadian/Alaskan Islands to give it away to the Americans?" The figure looked at Lelouch. "No, you shivered to gain us some friends." Lelouch reassured the figure before walking off. The Holy Britannian Empire had begone demilitarizing their Italian Colony and its assets. Much of the nobility had left departing back to the Homeland as expansions were made and purges began. Diplomacy and the way of words had helped Britannia increase their presence in the area and allowed them to expand further into their own country. However, the foreign threat made them build a stronger wall close to home and have the world community back away from Britannian Interests buying Britannia more friends, and non-enemies.

Move two pieces of Italy to Canadian/Alaskan Islands
