None Quiet on the Roleplay FrontAuthored by Chancellor MikoyanskThe roleplay section of the New Warsaw Pact remains vibrant as new nations test the waters of the region and long-time residents vie for increased influence abroad. Several alliances have also sprung up in the last year; the Alliance of Nations for Mutual Protection (ANMP) behind the military prowess of the Pomon Army and the Mikoyan Navy, the Confederacy of Arab Republics (CAR) under the primary guidance of Hajirah, the Confederacy of Associated States (CAS) of former Ampian colonies and the new Iron League (IL), a group of totalitarian regimes under the leadership of Indstonia.
For many of the past few months, the world’s focus has been in Arsuria, where a tragic automobile accident leads to the death of the king and the first heir. Seeking to assure his reign, another of the king’s sons, Theobald, assumed power under suspicious circumstances and began to crush the resistance to his reign, including his brother Henry. Seeing this turmoil, many nations including the ANMP and CAR alliance moved into the nation in various capacities; combat missions in support of Henry’s reign and humanitarian missions from the ANMP and support of the Muslim population from the CAR.
Various events in Arsuria also led to repercussions abroad. Following a withering missile attack by Theobald’s forces, the Mikoyan Navy retreated from the area, leading to it’s near-destruction in the mid-Adran Ocean by unknown submarine forces and long-distance cruise missiles.
Early this year, in a despotic attempt to maintain power, Uexhal Jaehalo of Vunayr ordered the destruction of the rebel capital by nuclear device, the first combat use of a nuclear warhead in the New Warsaw Pact. This led to a rapid and vicious backlash against the regime as various nations sent in units to seek out and destroy any remaining nuclear capability in Vunayr. Through a spiderwebbed network of alliances, Indstonia, seemingly defending the use of nuclear weapons on domestic populations, has called the movement by Pomontanium against Vunayri WMDs illegal and ordered an invasion of Pomontanium itself. Now, nations of the ANMP move into Pomontanium to beat back the naval invasion of the Pomon isthmus.
