Currently I need somebody to RP Octitania, and the reactions to the war and the reactions should Arkiania win and annex Octitania.

Expanding Country: Arkiania EC.'s Government Type: Absolute Monarchy Campaign Setting: 1599 Campaign Goal: Octitania Informational Links: Factbook, [Work in Progress]History[/url] When did you last have an Expansion? 6-25-2018 When was the Expanding Country's last military conflict? 1588 Why do you seek to expand? The High King of Arkiania has nationalist aspirations to unite Krinisians and the Isle under one banner and turn Arkiania into a regional and world power. Campaign Plot Since the formation of the Constitutional Monarchy, relations between Arkiania and Octitania rapidly deteriorated and soon turned to hostility after invasion and annexation of Achia. This lead to a massive political change inside of Octitania, as its people see the inevitable Arkiania invasion. Nationalist fervor grew, and a political faction the ultra conservatives began rising in power. With the royal family giving endorsements to ultra-conservative politicians and Arkianian interference in elections and attempts to shift opinion, the stage was set for direct confrontation with Arkiania. In 1597 the ultra-conservatives were elected, taking a hardliner approach against Arkiania and began subversion efforts including smuggling weapons into Achia to Achian partisans which were for the most part defeated. Other efforts included giving sanctuary inside Octitania n borders to partisans and arming them with vehicles and weapons, and spreading anti-Arkianian messages through pirate radio broadcasts and pamphlets. The situation escalated even further on Septem 1st, 1598 when an Arkianian unit pursuing Partisan's unintentionally trespassed into Octitanian territory, and were engaged by Octitanian soldiers. A small border engagement ensued before Octitanian troops were ordered to stand down. Afterward, all diplomatic contact between the two nations were cut off and their diplomats called back. The buildup of equipment and soldiers on each nations borders ensued. On Marth 15th, 1599 a larger scale border conflict of the same type as before, escalates to a full conflict. The two nations simultaneously declare war with both blaming each other for firing the first shots. Potential for Other Player Involvement United Allied States consisting of Mestra, Drahen, and Arkiania. Possibility of Goldecian and Kazemuran involvement in favor of Arkiania. A very unlikely chance that Angiris would be involved. How your country may evolve from success Arkiania would restructure itself into a new state, and system, one which would likely see the power of the monarchy limited as response to likely unrest and overextension in the Isle. How your country may evolve from defeatA defeat would likely see the collapse of the Arkianian monarchy and cause instability to the Isle as a whole.
