International News Networks / The Messenger - Argemontese News
« on: December 30, 2020, 01:23:48 AM »


The messenger is Argemonto‘s biggest news company. Since the newspaper is state owned it represents the political mainstream of the nation. Its positions are mostly identical to those of the ruling party PDDS, however mild criticism is sometimes expressed.

The Factions


Name: Räterepublik Herrenbucht (Soviet Republic of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Georg Gasan

Anthem: Einheitsfrontlied https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5X2BvMS4yQ
Population: approximately 20 million

Background information: The Soviet Republic of Herrenbucht was proclaimed by Georg Gasan shortly after the riots in Wateringas broke out. Most labour unions and socialist militias gave their support for the SRH immediately. In a matter of hours the militias overran the military base in Wateringas, which they had infiltrated beforehand and started conquering the surrounding coastal areas. The SRH effectively rules half of the Herrenbuchtian population right now. Most political decisions inside the SRH are made by the quickly appointed government and its chairman Georg Gasan. Local administration is left to military councils composed of militia soldiers and former soldiers of the Ducal army who switched sides.

Military information: While SRH has manpower it lacks good equipment. During "the miracle of Wateringas" the revolutionaries managed to seize control of the Wateringas military base but much of the equipment was damaged or even sabotaged by the Ducal soldiers to make it useless. Also a big part of the stationed airforce managed to escape to the south. The SRH was able to achieve its initial victories through guerilla attacks with a massive infantry, but they have no possibility to fight in the gigantic valleys of the south east. They are able to throw men into the fight but what they need is equipment an leaders with military experience. Their massive bonus is that they control the coast and most of the navy, therefore they can always receive supplies.





Name: Republik Herrenbucht (Republic of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Lisbeth Kerner

Anthem:   Die Gedanken sind frei (Thoughts are free)
Population: approximately 14 million


Background information: The Republic of Herrenbucht was proclaimed a few hours after the proclamation of the SRH. The movement that proclaimed it is a group of liberal politicians who call themselves the "Freidenkerkreis" (Circle of Free Thinkers). While they initially supported the strikes they were shocked by the proclamation of the SRH since they had a liberal democracy as the new system for Herrenbucht in mind and did not want to side with socialist revolutionaries. They have broad popular support in the northerns regions of Herrenbucht and managed to conquer a big chunk of Herrenbucht without any bloodshed. 


Military information: The Republic only has a small army consisting of a few illoyal members of the Ducal Army and citizen militias. A possibility to improve the Republics chances for a victory is situated in the middle of its territory. The military headquarters of Melkheim offer massive stockpiles that could be used to arm the citizens of the republic, however the forces are not able to crack the fortress. While the soldiers inside the headquarters remained loyal they did not attack the new Republic that surrounds them now yet. Without massive help the Republic will probably be crushed by one of the other factions. The socialists already declared war on them and would probably launch an offensive to take the rest of the coast and then invade the northern territories. The Duxists might use the troops stationed in Melkheim, as soon as they decide what to do the with Republic.




Name: Duxisten (Duxists)/Herzogtum Herrenbucht (Duchy of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Duke Philipp V

Anthem:   Der Gott der Eisen wachsen ließ
Population: approximately 8million


Background information: After the government lost control over the Wateringas area, Duke Philipp declared martial law. The people loyal to him call themselves the Duxists. Technically the Duxist regime is the legitimate government of Herrenbucht, however it is questionable if their claim will be taken seriously. The Duxists currently control the rural and mountainous areas in the south west of Herrenbucht.

Military information: Duke Philipp still controls the lion share of his military. The 3rd, 4th and 5th army were able to dig in along the rivers Weltel and Heese, however they have one problem: They do not control any coastal areas, therefore they have problems receiving supplies. If all offensives against the revolutionaries fail the Duke's troops might be starved out. The 2nd Army in Melkheim is an encircled and awaits orders, however all channels of contact have been disrupted by the Republicans. The Duke can only hope that they will make the right decision and attack the city, although they probably would not do this without qualms.

Economics and Industry / Herrenbuchtian Arms Industry (WIP)
« on: February 08, 2018, 05:41:20 PM »
CADA: Central Arm Distribution Agency / ZARV: Zentrales Amt für Rüstungsvergabe


Every sale of Herrenbuchtian arms needs to be authorized by CADA. To issue an authorization CADA needs to consider if the potential trade partner poses a threat to Herrenbucht and/or its allies, or if the potential trade partner could pose a threat to its own population. This is done with regards to the laws considering arm ownership and the practice of these laws.

CADA also controls international franchising of Herrenbucht's defense industry as well as foreign defense industry franchising in Herrenbucht. This is done to ensure quality standards, protect military technology and to protect Herrenbuchtian industry from illegal competition

Diplomacy and Events / Herrenbucht contacting New Colovia
« on: February 08, 2018, 04:52:08 PM »


HERRENBUCHT: MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

To whoever this may concern,

As our monarch has realized that our countries are not only geographically close, but also have shared interests and similiarities in our culture, we would like to initiate diplomatic relations with New Colovia. We therefore invite you to send a delegation that may establish an embassy in our capital.

We would like to discuss a possible cooperation between our nations, in economic as well as in military affairs, as we think that your nation would be a valuable and fitting partner.
Specific measures can be discussed in person.
Yours sincerely,

Siegismund von Thaller, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Most Humble Servant of His Majesty, Duke Philipp V

Diplomacy and Events / A Secret Message to Kaitaine
« on: February 07, 2018, 08:35:31 PM »



Dear comrades,

We are a group of influential socialist revolutionaries, and we need your help. Herrenbucht and its wretched Duke are getting more and more
vulnerable. This rotten structure of lies, greed and opression is getting weaker each day. Hence the proletariat only needs to give it a little push
and liberty will be ours. We will be able to mobilize the masses in the end, however to have a viable perspective of putting up a military resistance
we need help from our foreign brothers.
Therefore we would like to create plans together, so we can coordinate the revolution. Herrenbucht has so much potential and with the socialists
now being stronger than ever before, we have to take this chance.
We would be able to send a delegation to Kaitaine without the Herrenbuchtian government noticing.

DUCAL PALACE OF HERRENBUCHT 9:47am

Duke Philipp is seated in a big chair in his office, in front of him Hermann von Secru, Minister of State

"I know we are taking a risk, but the sake of our nation is beyond these matters. It is the perfect way to revive the national enthusiasm of our nation. It worked hundreds of years ago why shouldn't it now? Also, the socialists are defeated and wouldn't dare to start new revolts. We punished the criminals extremely hard and their example terrorized the remaining ones into resignation. Now it's time to strike against our other enemy. We have left them alone for too long, if we don't act now they might expect our move and prepare themselves. Don't underestimate them, like my ancestors did"

"But your majesty...the treaty, this would be political suicide. Disrespecting the Treaty of Ucklack this way could be seen as very problematic by foreign states"

"Political suicide? If everything goes as planned you won't have any opposition to worry about soon enough. Furthermore the world wouldn't dare meddling in our affairs. The Nalachians don't have any protector. So what are you waiting for? I gave the order, now execute it!

"Yes your majesty. But what are we supposed to do if we face resistance?"

"You should consult your most honorable colleague, the Minister of War then. You may leave now, Lord Minister"



2 HOURS LATER: ETSCHNU, A NALACHIAN VILLAGE IN THE GREMDON RESERVATE

Hikda had almost arrived. The traffic was worse than normal and she saw more trucks than usually on the street, even some military vehicles. She thought they would be on their way to a military exercise, or a wargame or anything like those thing Duke Philipp had ordered to show of his boys. She was a Nalachian, working outside the reservate, but still lived in her parent's village. Her day in the city had been a really stressfull one. Herrenbuchtian's in the west could be a really annoying sort of people. While Nalachians that had assimilated were a common view in Herrenbuchtian cities and racism against them was, if even, a minor problem, Nalachians living in the reservates were treated with little respect and distrust. Hikda herself experienced this when people saw her tribal tattoos. Disrespectful commons and awkward looks had become normal for her, but she was not irritated by this and kept being proud about her heritage. She took the exit to her village and as she came closer she saw that the police was in her village. But not regular tribal police. Herrenbuchtian police had entered their village. Normally they would only drive through the reservate if they use the highway, so this was new. When Hikda came closer she even saw soldiers standing a bit away from the police, but still near the village. What was this all about? The policemen were fighting with the village elder. Hikda parked her car right in front of the village in the middle of the street and went to the police officers.

"What is this all about? What is happening"

Instead of the officers the elder answered: "They want us to move, they want to urbanize this region. They say it was ordered by the Duke"

"But this is our land! Your Duke's ancestor signed a treaty which guarantees our autonomy, why are you here? Why are these soldiers here, you have no right to-"

"Calm down lady, okay?" Now the officer answered "We are just executing orders, and these soldiers are only here to ensure that there will be no violence. Our work is done here. You understood, old man? You have time to pack up until this evening. Then we will return to bring you into a temporary camp. After that you will be free to apply for full citizenship in Herrenbucht or to leave.

The Officers left together with the soldiers. The village elder just stood there staring at the ground. Hikda felt the tears running up her eyes. Her world collapsed

HERRENBUCHT: MINISTRY OF TRADE

To whomever it concerns,

After the suprising extinction of the Herrenbuchtian beaver, the government of Herrenbucht finds itself in a difficult situation. For the upcoming Independence Day Parade we need immense stockpiles of beaver fur (or fur with a similiar texture). We estimate to need at least 8 tonnes of high quality fur. Since this material is
 one of the main exports of your nation, we hope that you are able to deliver
 it quickly. The price can be discussed later. Of course a Quinetlian delegation will be welcome at our parade if you are willing to help us.

Yours sincerely,
Ludwig von Becksburg, Minister of Trade
