Coup Svarna Surya:
Basically Svarna Surya will go through its second military coup to "protect democracy" and stabilise the country.A new part military soldiers elected and part civillian elected government will be elected with military elected candidates approved by the generals.The new parties will compete in both of these rounds.All three parties in the election will be pro military.

2: Take control of all main transport routes , set up checkpoints .
3:Take control of media
4:Close airports
5:Media black out and downtime on internet also enforce curfew

Batavia Vrystaat
1578

General Paul Steytler sat unmoved in his chair as he and the Batavian President, Hertzog, watched the police troops march in front of them. General Steytler headed the Batavian Police, and it made him one of the most powerful men of the country - if not the most powerful one. In the Batavian Free State, the police stood practically above the law. Its powers were practically unlimited, and the politicians always listened to the police chiefs. Through the National Security Council, which had usurped most of the powers of the Batavian Council of Ministers over the past decades, the Batavian Police and Security Services ruled the country.

They were collectively known as the ''Securocrats''. The Securocrats were, as the word suggests, apolitical, technocrats who cared only for the security and the survival of the Batavian political system. The country's politics was split between two opposing groups: the ''Verligtes'' (the Enlighteners), who wanted to soften the racial Apartheid system, and the so-called ''Verkramptes'' - for which no really good translation exists, but it means they are very strict and narrow-minded. The Verligtes were paradoxically enough most found among the members of the Conservative Party. They prided themselves as being pragmatists. The Verkramptes were mostly found among the National Party, and saw themselves as the heir to their forefathers who founded the National Party and who implemented Apartheid in Batavia.

The Securocrats, like General Steytler, preferred to think of themselves as standing above such petty squabbles. They thought of themselves as soldiers, not as politicians or ideologues. The enemy was a Black Nationalist Communist conspiracy that threatened Batavia and the survival of the White Batavians. All means were justified to stop that conspiracy and to defend the Batavian state.

General Steytler in particular had a harsh reputation. Known as ''The Beast'', he was known for the violent way in which he on several occasions had restored order in the Townships during his police career. But he was also accused by human rights activists of having personally tortured to death several imprisoned black anti-Apartheid activists. Police investigations into the conduct of Steytler of course concluded he had obeyed all the rules. It was also no secret that the supporters of the National Party wanted Steytler to become president of Batavia one day.

But first, Steytler was happy in his current position. He was working on a plan, together with the Batavian security service and some military regiments, that would greatly undermine the Anti-Apartheid movement in Batavia. It was a plan however that was being kept secret from the politicians, for it was better if they had no idea about it. Steytler was willing to sacrifice himself for his country. He was willing to get blood on his hands, so that others could keep theirs clean.

The wiki has been opened to editing. Here is the link. You are all encouraged to review the wiki and check if all your key articles is there. I should have imported all the main articles—but, hey, things slip through. We have until October before the old wiki goes down, and I do have a copy of ALL articles and images on my PC, but I don't plan on uploading either of those to the wiki.

However, your images have been uploaded here. You can go ahead and download that and snag your stuff. In the meantime, uploading images to the new wiki is disabled, though you may still use images from WikiCommons.

As a note, the new wiki uses templates imported from Wikipedia, so they are different, and may of our old infoboxes have been broken. They shouldn't be too difficult to make better though. Additionally, if there's a template you want imported: just name it here and I'll get to it ASAP.

Forum Use
This forum is dedicated to factbooks for states whose users aren't interested in using the Wiki.

Organization
You may create as many threads as you want--but they must all be prefixed with the short name of the country. Examples: Lanlania: Factbook; Lanlania: Military; Lanlania: Demographics; Germany: Religion; France: Government. You are, however, not required to separate everything into district threads--you may toss it all under one if you are so inclined. The purpose of prefixing the threads is so that all of a country's threads may remain together in this shared forum. And if the subject is rather limited, it would indeed be better to have it under the main thread.

Please note: while all subthreads should have the above prefix, the primary Factbook is exempt; instead, it should follow the standardization below.
