Overview
Hudsonia, alternatively, the Hudson jungle or the Hudson Rainforest, is a moist broadleaf tropical rainforest in the Hudson biome that covers most of the Hudson basin of South Ardia.
Basic Geography
The Hudson basin is 80% covered in rainforest, and is home to two nations, the Most Highest and Most Exalted Kingdom of Southern-Hudsonia and the Republic of the Hudson.
The Hudson river flows from the coastal east of the Hudson basin into the rainforest, separating into branches and thinning out as it gets further in. It has not been fully explored.
Basic History
Hudsonia was initially populated by dozens of individual tribes, that were loosely organised into an alliance. In the 17th century, the rainforest was explored, with outskirts of it colonised by the Ardian Empire. Eventually they encountered a member of the Gotika tribe, who they took back to their camp with them. There they attempted to communicate with him, and apparently nicknamed him "Hudson", after the group leader's pet dog, which is where the name of the area is believed to have originated from.
When "Hudson" tried to return home, the group followed him. The leader of the Gotika tribe, upon hearing the news of men from outside the jungle, called a meeting of tribe leaders. Part way through the meeting, it was ambushed by men from the Empire, whose superior weaponry easily massacred the natives. Outraged, a survivor of the massacre managed to flee, and rally the various tribes of the jungle. They succeeded in driving out the reconnaissance party, and managed to keep the Empire, and other foreigners from exploring anymore than a bit into the jungle.

The leader of the rallied tribes began to centralise the tribes, a process that continued on for generations, until it ended up a kingdom spanning the rainforest in the early 19th century. The newly formed kingdom was outdated by the nations around it, till it started to undergo trade with its neighbours, eventually reaching early 19th century standards in parts of the Kingdom in 1876. Around this time the Silent City was constructed, and the forest near to the river mouth was cut down, with small cities popping up.

In 1913, Alexios la Dio de Homo (litterally "the God of Man") was crowned, marking the beginning of the Alexios era. Alexios was crowned king after a sudden spree of deaths exterminated the entire ruling dynasty. Six years later, he was voted into the position of Papo by the Orange Catholic Imperial Church, unifying the Church and state for the first time. A group of separatists broke off, forming the Hudson Republic, protesting what they view as an unjust merging of a secular title and religious one. The Republic survived, due to the main trade partner of the Kingdom being embroiled in the Great War. After Alexios' death in 1928, his son, Alexios II, was declared the reincarnation of his father, thus keeping the Church and state unified. Currently, Alexios still rules, through his reincarnation into the body of his 8 year old great-grandson, Alexios IV.

Throught the People's Republic today, a national celebration was held in the annual celebration of May Day.

May Day, also known as International Worker's Day, has been celebrated annually in the FOA since 1975.
This year saw almost the entire population of the FOA "go on strike" a traditional ceremonial act celebrating the right to strike and unionize against all, even the state, a right not yet fully supported by the world.

Members of the Folkets Forsamling, as well as members of the military and large amounts of the capital's population met in the Kongens Firkant, outside the offices of state.
There, amid the rolling banners with the faces of Comrades Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Marcuss, the crowd joined hands and sang the anthem of not only their home, but the anthem of worker's world wide.

In other local areas, citizens sang their own songs as well as the International, with favourites including Solidarity Forever, the song of the WUF as well as the song growing in popularity, Do You Hear the People Sing, from the play Les Miserables.
Many plays were also preformed, from the less serious ones organised in the local hall to the stages of the capital, with favourites including An Inspector Calls, the aforementioned Les Miserables and the classic Waiting for Lefty.

Comrade Folkets Præsident Rolf Høgh, made his speech on the current situation of the Mundus, and the position of the worker within it.
He highlighted that despite the world's average wealth growing higher and higher each year, the average member of the proletariat saw almost no change from what his wages had looked like decades ago. Over points included the need to unite with working members of the Mundus to help eliminate the evils of capitalism, as well as the undisguised tyranny that the nation of Tamora inflicted voluntarily upon its people. Whilst capitalism gives the illusion of choice (after all, the choice between working and starving is no choice at all), slavery doesn't even have the kindest of that illusion.

Commenting on the today's celebrations, Comrade Høgh had this to say:
"Overall, I think I can safely say that today's May Day Celebrations are a resounding success. With the scourge of capitalism still present in the Mundus, it is good for everyone to be able to celebrate what we do have. I hope that other nations around the world have found it in their hearts to allow people a paid vacation to celebrate the worker. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they found ways to sell the soul of even this celebration."

Greetings comrade!
The Folkerepublik Øst Albion greets you and your people.
In the current global scene of countless nations reaping the sweat of the worker's brow in the name of profits, it is important that despite their differences, those few who stand up for the people's fight must forge bonds together.
For this reason, and for the plight of the worker internationally, I invite your people to our capital of Copenhagen, where we can discuss the future and the plans of our nations and people.
Sincerely yours,
Rolf Høgh, Folkets Præsident.

To the Empire of Tamora:

Greetings from the Holy Land of Altromine. As you may possibly know, following the victory of the International Party and their candidate, Atomi Hektor, we have made moves to introduce ourselves to the world stage.

As one of our closest neighbours, we see it only fitting that you are one of the first we establish ties with.

We take this moment to invite you to our capital, Bildar, for talks concerning the friendship of our nation.

It would be appreciated if you would accept.

May Aten smile on you and your lands,
Arch-Protector, Annakol Araanon

Dear Sultan Yahya IV,

I send you my greetings. We have been neighbours for a very long time, however I believe this is one of the first times we have communicated for generations.

I would like to request a meeting between our nations, a way for us to establish a diplomatic base we can, over time, build on. As such, I invite you to Altromine, so we may talk.

International allies are important in these times, and we do not wish to isolate ourselves from our Midaraynian neighbours by not reaching out.

May Aten smile on your people,
Arch-Protector Annakol Araanon

The International Party, headed by Atomi Hektor won the place of Chancellor narrowly from the jaws of the Nationalist Party, headed by Abubakar Waaiz, beating them by only 3% of the vote. The Democratic party did even worse this year, down 11% from last decade's election.
Chancellor Hektor was welcomed into office this Wednesday by Arch-Protector Annakol and High-Priest Amarna. The first thing they did was pass a resolution on International Cooperation, the first passed for many years.
Main party results for this year:
International Party-34%
National Party-30%
Democratic Party-20%
Clysperi Reunion Party-15%

Muslim Man Swears In Aten’s temple, Chaos Ensues

A single swear word erupted into a full on brawl this morning, as Muslim man, Mohammed Mustafa (43), dropped his crate of yarn outside of the Temple of Aten in his home town of Akira.
Swearing, he stepped inside the temple briefly to collect his yarn, which had rolled inside, only to be greeted by the horrified faces of 60 worshippers.
Running for his life, the crowd chased him around the streets of Akira, before they caught up to him.
A brawl ensued with the worshippers battling the people on the street, who had no context except a crowd was chasing this man down.
Luckily the police quickly broke up the fight before anyone could be seriously injured or killed, with three men arrested for pulling out knives and Mohammed arrested for starting a fight.

Body Found in Djeor canyon.

Tourists hiking through Djeor canyon today got a terrible shock as they encountered a dead body. They alerted officials immediately and soon enough the police arrived. The body was pinned under a rally car, which had likely overturned and pinned him to the flaw. The cause of death was announced as lack of water, and carbon dating set him as dying on the 18th.
His body had been partially picked apart by vultures, and police think they may have started eating him when he was still alive. So far the body has not been identified, and police are looking for the family of the man.

Robert Anglo, advisor to Bill Jovi and the recently elected de-facto head of foreign affairs sat patiently, waiting for his brother to finish his call.
“Yes that will be all.” Greg Anglo put the phone done and turned to his brother. “So, Rob, what do you want this time?”
“I need you to ask the Tarc if the matter I discussed with them a few days ago has the go ahead.”
Greg smiled and picked up his phone, “So now or?”
“When you can.”
Greg nodded, before remarking off handedly, “You asked ASSO for the go ahead?”
Robert snorted and shook his head. “ASSO can cry themselves to sleep, I’m not asking them for matters which don’t concern them. They got too big for their boots. Soon their gonna try take remove the Tarc I think, getting too powerful.”
Greg sighed and began dialling a number. “I suppose, the Tarc does need to reign them in.”
He put the phone to his ear and Robert listen to one side of the conversation. Once it was over, Greg turned to him and smiled.
“They gave you the go ahead.”
Robert smiled and sat up, “Thanks Greg.”



The idea had been suggested a week or so before. It had come up with the discovery of a late 16th century Heyran caravel, perfectly preserved under the mud, which reminded the Tarc of Aschlon’s Parent Nation. Diplomatic relations with the rest of the world had been cut, when King Henry I pulled Aschlon out of the Great War and into self imposed isolation, after the death of his father, King Ferdinand, in battle. The Tarc had, after much deliberation and debate with Rober Anglo, decided that reestablishing ties with Aschlon’s parent could only be beneficial to both parties. And so Robert Anglo was given the go-ahead.


___________________
Dear The Heyran Republic,

On behalf of the Tarc and the People’s Republic of Aschlon, I extend my hand in greeting.

Whilst we may have returned from our self imposed isolation only a few months ago, we have had yet to reconnect ties with our founder. We are rectifying that now.

We invite you now to our capital Hootoft City, to discuss how we may aid each other. In this day and age, mutual help is more important than ever.

Sincerely,
Robert Anglo
Advisor to Bill Jovi

It is the 41st Millenium, and Mankind dies upon the stars. It has been a millennium since the Emperor, Master of Mankind, was betrayed and struck down by his favourite son, the Primarch Horus. Since then the Imperium of Man has been beset on all sides by various foes, only surviving through its fanaticism to the Emperor. The vastness of the galaxy and the Imperium allows there to be many different cultures and battles, allowing for a great variety of wars, tales and men.
OOC- I’m trying to create a 40k RP, but I’m not sure how start it. If you’d like to create an open RP with characters, (for example a negotiation for trade goods between two different Imperial planets, a group of Space Marines purging a Space Hulk, an Ork drag race or even a group of guardsmen defending a vital area from an overwhelming swarm of Tyranids) you can try that, because I sure have no idea where to start. Alternatively you could just create profiles and short stories for various battles and factions.

This will be a catalogue of all NACG events
HEAVY WIP

Dear President Nguessa,

We, the New Aschlonian Church Group, have decided to offer you our aid in the crisis currently rampant in your country.

Once upon a time Aschlon was a free country. Our King ruled fairly, and with a kind hand, whilst religious freedom was enjoyed, with most of the population following the Holy Aschlonian Church. However, after the rebellion which shook our country that peaceful way of life we had was shattered. Our benevolent King was forced to watch his family murdered in front of him before he too had his brains shot out. Our religious leaders were slaughtered, and state enforced atheism was introduced. Any that dared speak out against the new council, operating under the mask of democracy, were swiftly executed. Any that acknowledge a god were executed publicly, you must have seen the recent killings of 136 religious leaders that were unfairly trialled and executed? There are over a thousand more deaths of religious followers that the state has hidden.

We believe our duty, given from the Lord God himself, is to secure religious freedom for all and introduce new believers to the Holy Aschlonian Church, using any means possible. Your civil war came to our notice recently, with rumours flying all over Aschlon about our state’s possible aiding of your enemies. We seek to secure for you your place of power back, in that way we can avoid the situation we have in Aschlon. We are, altogether, a small force and as such am not able to fight in open conflict as much as other forces. We can, however, hinder opposing forces with the tested methods of fear mongering, corruption, sabotage and assasination. We have also recently acquired a submarine from one of our agents in Aschlon’s navy, and as such we can use it at any time.

We offer our support to you, hoping you will take it.

Yours Sincerely,
The NACG

OOC- This is an offer of aid from the NACG, a group that, for all intents and purposes, are terrorists. They do not represent the Aschlon goverment.

Dear Representative Bill Jovi,

Recently with the rise of NACG and the rise of tensions between Midaranye and the rest of Mundus, I believe it is time for ASSO to begin the training of students.

You will recall that the request for development of this school was denied by yourself and the other Representatives around a year ago, due to “Not [being] necessary in this time of peace.” As it is now no longer a time of peace, I believe that it should now be accepted.

If our request is accepted, I have already made arrangements. We have bought a deserted farm in the North, in which we will house and train our students. I have made arrangements with weapons manufacturers for multiple stationery for our students to train with. I have personally selected some of the army’s and ASSO’s brightest men and women they have for offer. 

I hope that this school and its students will not need to be used, however it will be good to have them on stand by, just in case they are necessary.

Yours sincerely,
Hadyn Lost, Head of ASSO

Angry Mob Lynch Family of 4


A angry mob descended on the house hold of the Evans family last night. They were all lynched, Alex Evans (42) was found hung by the neck in his back garden, whilst his wife, Mary Evans (41), and their children, George Evans (1) and Henry Evans (9), where found beaten to death in their living room. The cause of the lynching is unknown.
What happened?

It was 5:23AM when a mob of around 30 men and women were caught by a surveillance camera storming up Ray Park Road, in Hootoft City, towards the home of the Evans. None of these people have yet not been identified. About 12 minutes later, a call was sent from Mary Evan’s phone to the Hootoft City Police Force (HCPF). When the police call receiver picked up the phone, the calling phone had hung up. The police (with the evidence of the camera recording mentioned earlier) suspected something was wrong and a team was dispatched. Due to the people filled streets of Hootoft however, they did not arrive till a quarter of an hour later. They arrived to find the front door smashed in and all the occupants dead; the mob had vanished.

Investigation

So far the police have turned up nothing. They have closely analysed the camera footage but the faces are at too low a resolution to identify anyone. The home has been dusted for fingerprints, however none have shone up aside from the Evan’s. The police are at a total loss.

The victims

Alex Evans was a wealthy man. He worked at Clifford’s bank, where he had worked for the last 17 years. His work colleagues described him as “a friendly, helpful chap” and he regularly put in hours at the local soup kitchen. He was also an avid believer in the Aschlon Holy Church.

Mary Evans was well known around the community as “helpful and intelligent”. She met and fell deeply in love with Alex in 1992, and often described her husband as “the perfect man”.

Henry Evans was a bright and happy lad, with his teachers often describing him as “head of the class”.

George Evans died at 1 year old and 8 months. He was an adorable baby, whose mother was said to love him more than anything in the world.
