  • Civil War breaks out in Wine

    Since no news about King Giovanni and Queen Valentina were available, and because of the poor Savonarola's administration (see THIS THREAD, several people in the north started asking for a new King to be proclaimed, and immediatly looked at Prince Amedeo of Savoia. The Prince of Savoia is the closest cousine of King Giovanni, and therefore would be the next in line for the Wine's throne.

    However due to Savoia's very conservative policies, not all the Winians are happy to embrace Prince Amedeo is their new King, in the south the Repubblic of Wine was proclaimed, while in the heavy industralized north-east, the proletariat even arrived to the point of proclaiming the People's Repubblic of Communist Wine.

    Meanwhile in Wine proper, the senate managed to get Savonarola out of the office, and nominated Princess Elisa Bennati, the older sister of King Giovanni, the new dictator of Wine, giving her full powers in order to bring Wine out of this crisis.

    Last but not least the Catholic Fundamentalist Liberation Army, took the opportunity to finally achieve their dreams, and proclaimed in the center of Wine the "Holy Empire of God".

    All the sudden what was once one of the most important nation of Apolyton found himself splitted in 5 different nations, all at war with each other.

    Here are the factions:
    THE Royalist Wine: Those are the provinces of Wine who remained loyal to King Giovanni, they believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and his probably somewhere held in prison in what has been proclaimed the Holy Empire of God.
    They do not recognize any of the other four governments in Wine, and seek to reintegrate them into Wine, and to reestablish King Giovanni.
    They are backed by the RIAW, and by several old members of the Morelli's government, including the Marquis Leone Tigrotti (the old defence minister) and the Count Davide Pianola (the old foreign minister).
    They are the most powerful faction in the civil war as most of the winian armed forces remained loyal to them. Although they lack morale due to the fact that King Giovanni is still lost.

    The Savoyard Wine: The people living in Savoyard Wine do not believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and want Prince Amedeo to become the new Wine's king. The Principality of Savoia still didn't recognize them, due to their ties with the real Wine government, but is secretly funding them.
    This is a rather weak faction.

    The Repubblican Wine: In the south many people dislike Prince Amedeo, and have always been much more open to the idea of a repubblic. They are a rather strong faction, due to the big population living in there, and due to several branches of the military joining them. They want a system of two Prime ministers that share the executeve power (OOC: similar to modern day France)

    The Communist Wine In the heavy industrialized north, the people who didn't want Prince Amedeo also tried to proclaim a Repubblic of Wine, but due to the heavy percentage of workers living in there the communist ideals were much stronger than the ones of a capitalist repubblic.
    The communist wine is a very weak faction, but they are also the one with the highest morale, and they are also very well organized in a very rigid stalinist system.

    The CFLA Wine When the Catholic Fundemantalist Liberation Army kidnapped King Giovanni they were just hoping to be guaranteed some heavy payment in exchange for the King's return, they surely did not expect to cause such a big mess. However as soon as they saw an occasion they immediatly took it, proclaiming "The Holy Empire of God" in the middle of Wine. They quickly activated all their cells in Wine and immediatly started to attack the strong, but dis-organized Repubblic of Wine in the south.

    The Communist Wine would seem to be a strong faction due to the industrial base[/OOC]

    The Dominion of Noosland calls for an immediate ceasefire. An acceptable solution can be brokered by an international panel.

      The communist are currently the weakest because they have no army at all, that doesn't mean that they haven't any potential though

      Also here is a (very ugly) map of wine.

      The little yellow dots are each faction capital:

      From north to south and from west to east
      Royalist = Nebbiolo (the old wine's capital)
      Savoyard = Barolo
      Communist = Chianti
      CFLA = Dolcetto
      Repubblic = Lambrusco

        From: Royalist Wine
        To: Hand of Themis Alliance

        Friends, Wine has never needed help from our great alliance such as in this time, we ask you te help us in the rescue of King Giovanni, our first target should be to save the people of wine from the oppressive government that the terrorist of the CFLA set up in middle Wine.
        We are sure that if we manage to rescue King Giovanni and Queen Valentina some of the other factions will decide to join back with us.
        We ask for your diplomatic and, if possible, military support.

            The Republic of Centralis is also deeply concerned at the outbreak of war, but as yet does not officially back any side, pending the resolution of a very bitter split within the Executive Council.

              The LF does not take sides on this conflict, as both are equally valid, however, we call for a ceasefire, and offer to mediate between the two sides in a peaceful negotiation, as opposed to civil war.

                    occ: Giovanni don;t use what I have talked to you about cause I may need it in the future.

                    Field Marshall Dunning has announced that Sheepsta will remain neutral in the civil war due to continuing tensions with the Alecrastian Monarch. However we offer any intellegience we may have foe the return of the missing King and Queen the legitmate rulers of the entire nation.

                      Giovanni: The Hand of Themis will gladly help to find King Giovanni and Queen Valentina, however we are unable to force nations to invade in a civil war. Akiria will enter troops, if you will let them, to safeguard against the CFLA attacking any of the other regions. I am sorry we are unable to help fight the war but being a civil war, we cannot enter it on behalf of any one faction.

                        There have been unconfirmed reports from intelligence sources that the Centralis MSS is going beyond it's usual role of domestic security and counter-terrorism and has been directly supplying assistance to the forces of Republican Wine. Asked for comment, MSS head Megan Kroeger categorically denied the allegations, while Centralis President Arrayende said that "While I most certainly did not authorize any such assitance, in view of the current, very bitter divison within the Cabinet over the civil war, it wouldn't greatly surprise me if someone had decided to overstep their authroity and act without permission. This is currently being investigated."

                          Thanks to help (diplomatic economic or military) from Jackson and Noosland and thanks to their numerical superiority and better strategies the Royalist forces managed to defeat a large CFLA army that was approaching the city of Moscato.

                          Also it appears that the Royalist and the Savoyard in the north, decided in not attacking each other and to do a common front against the other forces, especially the CFLA and the Communist.

                          The Communist had managed to create a rather large army and are now thretning the borders with the Savoyard and the Royalist.

                          Another CFLA expedition was intercepted by the Repubblican navy and destroyed, signing a major victory for the Repubblicans in the sea, however a major attack by land by the CFLA forces proved succesful, in capturing the towns of Freisa and Spumante. The two towns were under direct CFLA control until a Repubblican counter-offensive managed to liberate them, thanks to the Repubblican air-superiority.

                          The Royalist Government claim that the Repubblicans are winning because of some foreign help, however Repubblican authorities strongly denied that, and called Princess Elisa (the sister of King Giovanni, now in charge of the Royalist forces) a lier.

                          To: Noosland and Jackson
                          From: Royalist

                          Thanks for your help, if we manage to rescue King Giovanni and Queen Valentina it is possible that some of the other factions may join back into Wine.
                          We know what the exact location where the Royals are held prisoners, as we have some RIAW agents infiltrated into the CFLA organization, although we can not attempt to rescue them yet, as we know that at the first sign of danger they might be killed by the CFLA.

                          We think this situation will end faster than expected, we just need to wait for the right opportunity to strike against the CFLA.
