IC: The Second Empire of Mejicanas has announced that it will now start developing nuclear weapons. The first phases of fission understanding is underway with Mejicanas' best scientists.
Although the rest of the country crumples, the Regency Council has implemented bills to help reconstruct the country from the ground up, providing citizens a basic social welfare system, public services, and corporate-attraction programs. More jurisdiction has been dedicated to the military, and the Lords of Augustine's Hand have been appointed as Governors of districts, and Mayors of cities. These individuals were of course selected by the Regency Council and Augustine's Blessing. Government departments have also been established to better organize the central government. Military Governor George Lopez will be administrating the territorial state of Southern Tejas.
In dedication to Hedra's contribution to the civil war, The Regency Council has honored them with a national park and memorial dedicated to the Hedrans and Mejicans who fought for the restoration of the nation-state. A giant gold statue of Emperor Tybolt has been constructed, looking over the Monterrey Bay Area, facing the direction of Rikas, 
Hedra. A Hedran Embassy has also been constructed in Monterrey. The Regency Council has also followed Hedra's royal asylum model by dedicating Monterrey as an open city to royals abroad.
Mejicanas has also opened itself to trade with Hedra, and establishing a formal alliance.
IC: Battle of Kapikala: Hyperborean Foreign Legion
The Battle of Kapikala is underway as the first day of fighting sees the sun start to set. It's tough urban warfare. UTF forces have made some ground having gone from the outskirts of the city to now entering the residential areas on the edge of the massive mega-city. The soldiers of the Hyperborean Foreign Legion are among the Hyperborean Forces in the thick of the fighting as they fight their way through the city streets, building to building. The height of many of the buildings cast the streets into shadow as the sun gets lower in the sky which has grown overcast and gray from the smoke of the spreading fires.
The soldiers of the Hyperborean Foreign Legion are in a massive firefight against Muan forces. Lt. Krueger has the men at a roughshod perimeter using several obstacles as defensive barricades as they weather the waves of Muan soldiers trying to repel the invading allied forces. Red, a 
Sovern, and Sam-Rai a Garnelian both seeking Hyperborean citizenship through service with the Hyperborean Foreign Legion and some off the designated marksmen/grenadiers of the troop are on the rooftops flanking the wide street taking out the approaching Muans and any armor or vehicles which may approach them. These two are under guard from riflemen and automatic riflemen.
"Keep given em' hell you bunch of mudfarming dirt eaters! You wanna call yourselves Hyperboreans? Well you gotta fight harder than that! You try to turn tail and run I'll kill you, you stop fighting because you get wounded I'll kill you, you get killed by one of these Moos I will bring you back to life and I will kill you!" He yells to the troop in his usual prejudiced tone.
Suddenly they begin to receive flanking fire from Muan soldiers approaching them from the Northern road leading to the intersection they have fortified themselves in.
"Gods dammit! Jagoff (A Hedran) Blue (A Volohkian) quit playin' grab ass with each other and watch our flank. Blue you use that damned saw of yours to lay down some suppressive fire or so help me Blue wont just be a nickname. Jagoff don't get caught up lookin' at his ass you sexually frustrated runt I wanna hear you knockin down Muans with that rifle of yours like a day at the carnival!" Krueger yells raising his head up after ducking from the crossfire.
IC: Reed stands his ground the best as he can; “I WON’T LOOK BUT YOU SAYING IT SIR KINDA MAKES ME WANNA LOOK!!!!” Reed screams some more nonsense as he shoots at the Muan soldiers.
Vostag and Volohk
SIC: Emperor Tybolt, Empress Cerelle and PM Maurras watch the news from 
Mejicanas and the construction of a giant golden statue of Emperor Tybolt.
The three of them look at one another in silence.
“Well... it’s nice...?” Maurras says.
“They have the best of the intentions that is for sure, but it wasn’t really necessary.” Tybolt replies.
“Another thing for you to look back when you are old and dread your old age.” Cerelle says in her usual way.
“Precisely. One of the reasons I did not want my face on the Vezar bills but it’s their money and their decision I will say I appreciate it.” Tybolt says.
“In regards to trade and alliance sir, my cabinet is still skeptical of doing that kind of business with Mejicanas. The regime is still young and not yet properly established itself, we think we should wait.” Alvaro says.
“Very well. Send them our reply.” Tybolt replies turning off the tv.
IC: Although the wish of maintaining close ties with Mejicanas, Hedra considered this not to be the most appropriate time for a formal trade and alliance to be established.
OOC: Mini-Map Update!
Well after a lot of sitting and thinking and pondering. And a lot of experimenting and testing and self critique. I've reached the only solution my perfectionist brain will accept. Doing my darnedest to avoid incidents of border gore (aka ugly map borders amongst cartographers types) I have reached my wits end on this one. SO here it is.
Updated the map of the supercontinent of Barbaria proper in particular the continent of Vesvin. The nations effected by this update are:
Holy Barbarian Empire
Hunnack Orionus
Malulota
I really like it because it adds a unique ying and yang aspect to Holy Barbarian Empire and Volohk which looks really nice. That and it was fairly simple compared to the other attempts I made which all looked awful.
Vostag, Volohk, Holy Barbarian Empire, Malulota, and 1 otherHedra
OOC: Cool. I like it. Finally found a way to get rid of that awful indention into the western bit of HBE I see. Good job.
OOC: I really like it! Now I get to be closer to my ally, Hunnack!
OOC: I got HUNG.
IC: Although Mejicanas couldn't attract trade from Hedra, it is at least happy that it can continue its cordial relationship with the Hedran Crown. Therefore, treaties aside from the original proposal has been re-directed to His Holiness of the Holy Barbarian Empire - a proud supporter and close friend to Emperor Augustine III; the Federation of Sovern, the Noble Republic of 
Velkisa, and 
Velbria. Related parties have also loaned the Mejican government as an investment portfolio for the reconstruction of the nation, and its enterprises.
In a separate, yet related inclined arrangement, Mejicanas and 
Quing Nara have partnered on various projects.
THE TRANSFER OF THE HEDRAN COURT
Rikas, November, 11807
The Prince-Regent of Hedra, Prince Jon, refuses to obey the Blockade imposed by the Emperor of Subspais, Napoleon Dynamiter, and instead continues to trade with Hedra’s strongest ally, Celephais. The Prince, who has been regent of the Great Kingdom ever since his mother, Queen Maria I, was considered mad, he plays with the Subspaisians for as long as he can and secretly drafts a treaty with the Protector of Celephais, William Cavendish-Bentinck, which stated that Celephais would aid the Royal Family in case they ever needed to flee the country.
In October 11807, news arrived of Subspaisian troops were arriving, and on 16 November, a Celephaisian squadron arrived at the port of Rikas with a force of 7,000 men with orders to either escort the Royal Family to Afrinia or, if the Hedran government had surrendered to Subspais, to attack and conquer the Hedran capital. After much pressure and consideration Jon accepted Celephaisian protection and sailed to Afrinia.
The voyage was a difficult one with the risk of losing the entire royal family and court growing by the minute. The ship carrying, Queen Maria I, Prince-Regent Jon, Prince Alvito (later King Alvito IV) and Prince Serafim being struck by a huge storm that damaged the ship greatly. One of the other ships, carrying Carlota of Brasilistan wife of the Prince-Regent, and her daughters was infested by lice. The problem grew to such an extense that the ladies aboard had to shave their heads and wear turbans to hide their baldness.
22, January, 11808, Bay of All Saints, Afrinia
Finally after months of travelling in unbearable conditions, the Prince-Regent finally arrived in Afrinia. He chose to land in Bay of All Saints before he continued on to Saint Sebastian, the capital of the colony at the time. There he was received with all the honours a king would expect from subjects who never thought they would see their leader in Afrinia, a huge crowd gathered in the city to watch their leader walk by, most were later received in the governmental building for a baciamano. Prince-Regent Jon made history that day by signing the Decree of Opening the Ports to Friendly Nations, which allowed Afrinia to trade freely with Hedra’s allies, in this case Celephais, this decree improved the conditions and the economy of the colony greatly. Finishing his business in Bay of All Saints, the Prince continued on his way to Saint Sebastian.
When the court arrived in Saint Sebastian they did not have a place to stay so the Viceroy of Afrinia ordered the authorities to remove people from their homes in prder to better accomodate the Hedran nobility. The Prince was mesmorized by the city. Never before he had seen so many people of different ethinicities and cultures, not to mention the heat. The Prince and his family settled in a villa a bit far from the city center, it was there that his children grew up.
It seems that moving to Afrinia only made it easier for the unhappy couple, Prince Jon and Princess Carlota, to cheat on one another and to better express their hate for each other. Princess Carlota was known to take multiple male slaves to her quarters while Prince-Regent Jon and his son Prince Alvito, when he came of age, were frequent visitors to brothels. The Prince loved his new life in Afrinia, he led a peaceful somewhat simple life, sticking fried chicken thighs in the pockets of his coat and rarely bathing, only doing so for medical purposes.
Years pass and in 11815, with the defeat of Napoleon, Afrinia was elevated to the status of kingdom in the new state called the United Kingdom of Hedra, Afrinia and Algarves with the mentally ill Queen Maria as it’s head of state while Prince Jon continued to serve as Regent. In 11816, Queen Maria I passed away and Jon became King Jon VI.
Meanwhile in Hedra, the war had mass consequences and Hedra proper was being administered by the Celephaisian military which led to protests demanding the King’s return. This became known as the Liberal Revolution, Hedra’s first somewhat constitutional experience. King Jon VI and his family were forced to return to Hedra in 11821. King Jon VI died in 11826, away from the land he learned to love and the memories he made south of the equator, the year prior the United Kingdom was dissolved and Afrinia lost it’s royal status and the old colonial policies were reinstated by the Courts.
OOC: BEHOLD HEDRAN LORE!!! OH HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!!!! LOOK AT HOW I TOTALLY DID NOT STEAL THIS FROM 
Vostag!!! NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN I SAY!!
IC: Quing Nara applauds the intellectuals of its society, who've brought the nation in the Top 5 most scientific nations in the world (region). In dedication to this milestone, the nation holds a national convention of scientists all over the country, and will be starting the new tradition of holding this fair every year, as a promise to expand the minds of the coming youth, implement a secular - logical society, and encourage further scientific leaps. While the nation is still in the process of establishing its space program - more domestic projects are in order; such as the vertical farming project, advanced weather control, mega-engineering, cyber-security, expanded physics, genetic therapy/engineering, and much more.
"We have grown since the Lemurian compromise of our system, we have been able to prosecute those responsible, and handled their consequences to the highest extent of Collective Law. It is time that we move on from this, and grow as a society. The damage the Lemurians caused for our fellow UNB member is unimaginably dreadful, and inhumane. We will never forget, and we will never forgive. We have empathized to our best capabilities, and done what we can to compensate, and learn from our mistake. Our guard was down for one minute, and it has inflicted damage.
Starting for now on, the Chairman position will be entitled to the full authority and power of the United Armed Forces, under the resolution from the Peoples' Assembly. This includes our nuclear launch codes, security access, and full authority over the military's administration. It was originally under a council of high-ranking officers of the military, but no longer will autonomy be promised without the check of the central government - specifically under the executive branch - the Chairman and his center administration.
In addition, Quing Nara will recall all weapons testing programs in international waters, and instead host them in our own territory. The nation will also be focusing on the defense approach to WMD's and use existing, and planned resources to begin developing anti-ballistic defense systems, revive the communcal bunker program. We will also be working on scanning technology, and cyber-security for our newly reformed nuclear weapons program. Quing Nara will continue the manufacture and possession of nuclear warheads for the safeguards of our sovereignty, and interests. We have also directed some surplus resources in the pilot series of the military's exo-suit and armor program.
We have come a long way since our early - ruined state. Now we are an emerging power, destined with so much potential. We won't let hiccups get in the way of progress and pride. We have adapted, and revisited our doctrines. We have re-aligned ourselves in what we, the People, desire. That is Harmony. In order to finally end the misery, we must first establish order in the very state of existing. We much catch up with the world, with itself is already drowning in its own advancements. We are at war, on the side of the world, against the axis of evil. In terms to our foreign policy; we are advocating for compromise and diplomacy. We wish to work with the world, and establish friendly relations with nations abroad. We aim our mission in the potential of global peace and order. My allies in the Red Bloc will stand firmly under the banner of socialism, progression, and equality. Together we will build a utopia!"
IC: Reed and Eckhart set up their firing position firing on the flanking Muans and are met with great success. So much success that they start advancing down the street pushing back the Muans. The Muans begin to turn tail and run away from the duo as they make their way clearing the street when suddenly Reed and Eckhart are blasted forward as mortars impact the building to their right and the street behind them. The shooting falls quiet as the Muan mortar barrage berates the troops of the Hyperborean Foreign Legion.
When Reed and Eckhart finally get themselves back to their feet the air is filled with dust and smoke. As smoke clears the two soldiers look behind them at the path they came from and they see it blocked as the mortar barrage has destroyed nearby buildings and caused them to collapse right across the street. They aren't getting back to the group this way as the rubble pile is too large to try and dig through or climb over. The eerie silence where Reed and Eckhart stand is interrupted as they hear the sounds of the gunfight starting up again at the block over where the duo came from.
Volohk and Hedra
IC: In the brush of an isolated state, while the world continues on, the conclusion of a decade-long civil war finally comes to an end; with the victors being the N.A.S.R. a fascist armed movement. Under the new Law; Elidenia will become a fascist state, under a single-party government. The mass-nationalization of industry was almost immediate. The clause of this new formation originates after the end of the "Crimson War". The defeated, Elidenia, has to pay off billions in war reoperations, dismantle its military, and submit to humiliating laws. Sick and tired of two decades of economic recession and civil unrest, the fascists strike the Imperial government, usurping His Majesty, Louis Antoine-Chlothar XIX. who fled to Rikas, Hedra.
Ethnic-native Franks have also begun brutally oppressing minorities - forcing them out of the country, or lynching them in groups. A total break down of society surely follows.

Chairman Lao pauses, and thinks it over. "What are the terms of such agreement, exactly?"
Post self-deleted by Volohk.
Post by Quing Nara suppressed by Kelvenir.
IC: Chairman Lao remains silent. He looks back at the paper and looks to the President of Volohk.
"While I personally favor this proposal, and I admire Volohk's place in encouraging us to trust them - I can't see the People being ready to trust the world. How this war is going...and the lack of stability; the world isn't giving us a reason to let our guard down. The whole purpose of our nuclear arms program is to give a world, which frowns upon socialism, a chance to ward off imperialism. Our promise for peace begins when we know we can defend ourselves from foreign aggression, which is also a common theme in this world. Unless you can convince the People, I have no authority in advocating something outside the will of the People.
And I am not trying to find a reason to turn my back, but we have our reasons...not too long ago our people were horribly oppressed by foreigners, they stripped us of our cultural identity, enslaved us, and pillaged our countryside. For centuries we were under the thumb of a tyrant, and the world didn't bother to care. So why should we care for it? Tell me, Madam President, why should we disarm? Why should we trust the world?"
The Chairman points at one of the cameras, "My People are watching, and they are listening..."
"We've been tortured, removed of our homes, beaten in public, raped, bullied, and even slain. Whole lineages have faded out of existence, and our numbers are still coming back, barely meeting our population quota to sustain the economy. We are begging you for an answer, some hope to trust your word. My people are traumatized, scarred, and bitter. Malice dwells in most souls, and we can never recover our prime, until we can restore our confidence as a nation...so tell my people, Madam President..."

IC: “Thats a better idea.” Reed says while he watches over their surrondings.
IC: When they try the Lt. on the radio there is a lot of interference and the clear bits they can hear gunfire in the background. "Bl...e, Jag...of. Go up a ...locks and rendezvous at..."
With that they piece together that their orders are to try and work their way around back to the group. They begin their trek through the city in all its chaos. They have to be very careful as they are two soldiers without any backup in a city on fire. Enemies could lurk around every corner and many streets are blocked by obstacles and debris making the city an even worse maze then it already is.
They make their way through the city streets and alleyways sticking close to storefronts and doorways for cover as they do. In some cases they have to walk through whole buildings because of roads being blocked. The journey is long as they must be cautious so that they can stay alive yet part of Reed and Eckhart screams for them to throw caution to the wind and run out in the open because it would be faster to get back to their brothers in arms. But their training tells them to suppress this urge.
Volohk and Hedra
Post by Quing Nara suppressed by Kelvenir.
IC: After a week, the People have spoken and their representatives stand by their voice. Chairman Lao, will be updating the President of Volohk through the Floor of the UNB, as where its decision was positioned originally.
"The People of Quing Nara have decided that we will disarm. We will join Volohk in 'something new'. I will stand by this decision, and trust it. I have faith that we do not need the harmful affects of nuclear energy, and instead we should direct it into infrastructure and understand it better to defend against its harmful nature. We will continue with our anti-ballistic defense system, and our communal fallout programs. Let us go boldly into that good night. I was inspired by the President's voice on maybe we don't have to live in a world with the opposition and rivalry of capitalist and socialist states. I think that Quing Nara and Volohk could maybe be the first to create a new world, where we can all work together, and maybe nuclear energy can be used for something other than its destructive counterpart. Let's us begin something new."
