SwedishFish and Ignoramus took the only ones I wanted! :embarassed::sweatdrop::embarassed:
I'll be watching this IH with interest, though.
I am needing the two principals though.
I'll switch to Russia, quick Jan III, now's your chance!

Can I just say that this is kind of immoral? Russia extending its hegemony over a poor and unfortunate area...
That said, any conflict does make good material for an IH.
I'll take South Ossetia.

President Mikheil Saakashvili wishes to announce that he is personally spearheading the effort to build up alliances for the autonomous, democratic Republic of Georgia. We ask the world to condemn the actions of this barbarian Russian government.
Lado Gurgenidze, Prime Minister of საქართველო
I will have to remake the rules, because no body sent me a PM. Instead, to make things better... send me a PM with the stance of your country to the others for the Chapter one.
Awaiting PM from SwedishFish.
Turn 1 (Diplomatic Phase) : The War Has Just began
7th August.
Years ago, the government of Georgia launched a massive attack against the region of South Ossetia. And... the response from the Ossetians, people who want Ossetia as a free nation, free from Georgia.
Moscow mediated a ceasefire, between both parts.
The ceasefire has not been broken... yet.
In the last weeks, the actual president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, has deployed an considerable ammount of soldiers in the Georgian - Russian border. This action, has been taken seriously by the Russian Government, taking it as a serious offense against the freedom of the Russian citizens, which has stated that "the Georgian government is deploying troops". One of their officials said, in recent declarations, "South Ossetia wants to be a free country, and want to stop bleeding from the actual genocide that South Ossetia suffers".
At the moment, an unexpected event came to the light. Apparently, the Georgians have launched an attack to the Russians without crossing the border. There is a lack of information about this issue, but this has lead to the beggining of this conflict. The Russian Foreign Ministry has released in a short publication the following statement: "In the last days, Georgia has commited ethnic cleansing and killed our peacekeepers, we cannot stand idly in such agression against the South Ossetians". Vladimir Shamanov, a Lieutenant General in the Russian Army, said "We are responding to aggresive Georgian action against the people of South Ossetia, and the killing of our troops."
Now, what may come? It's up to the involved factions in this matter.

Everyone of you have its aims, which will be PM'ed to you. Everyone of you have that aim that will have to accomplish in this Interactive History. Of course that it's not a good option to reveal your aims, or you won't have chances to win!
There will be two phases: Diplomacy Phase and Battle Phase:
In the first one, you will make use of your diplomats in the countries and/or the maximum autority in your country (Prime Minister and Presidents). Every nation will have their voice, except the South Ossetians. They won't be able to talk to the UN and the US, because the United Nations and the United States doesn't recognize South Ossetia as a free state, they recognize South Ossetia as a part of Georgia. However, they will be able to talk with Georgia to negotiate a diplomatic solution or they will be able to talk with Russia to ask for diplomatic and/or belic solutions to the conflict in their lands.
The another one will be represented by bellic actions. You will have soldiers, tanks, APC's (Armoured Personal Carriers) at your dispossal and via-PM you will send me what they will do.
Every week starting from now, will be a day in the game. We will be doing 1 day Diplomatic Phase, 2 days Battle Phases. If this goes well, there could be a World War conflict.
The US will appear in the second Diplomacy Phase. The UN when they consider its necessary.
--------------------------------
Ignoramus has not send me a PM, now that I check my Inbox. SF did, and thanks for the fast PM. This game will give chances to everyone to win, it will be up to you... and if the conditions are given.
Let the discussion begin!
Some PM's has not been sent yet, sorry fo the delay. I will send it between today and tomorrow.

As you all know, Georgia has been bullied and battered in its long history; I wish to reiterate: we will not be bullied by barbarians or terrorists alike!
Warmaster Horus

As much as Georgia has been bullied, they are free and independent. When they were not, all they wanted was liberty. Is that so hard to understand? And so it is the same for those of South Ossetia. We want our independence, and we would like it peacefully.
But rest assured, if Georgia will not satisfy us, we will take it by force!
The Russian Federation will not stand by while our peacekeepers are being killed in a cease-fire zone. We demand that Georgia pull out of South Ossetia and pay compensation for the 9 peacekeepers killed. If Georgia should refuse, we will have no choice but to forcefully ensure the cease-fire stays in effect.

The UN will tolerant no threats or intimadation or a break in the imposed cease-fire zone from either side or the UN a peacekeeping force will have to be set in to control said cease-fire zone
Your attention please!
You have 4 days to achieve your objectives with the help of diplomacy! If you fail to win in this phase, you did not lose! You will have two Battle Phases to achive them with guns and firepower!
When you enter the battle phase, you will send me the ammount of troops you want to deloy, where, and which orders you want to give them. If your troops decide to advance, then you will have to give me a bit more of time to work out the battle system.
Expect new instructions tomorrow at 6 PM GMT -3
The Russian Federation calls upon the U.N. to support the creation of South Ossetia. We also warn the U.S. not to become involved on the side of Georgia.
First Battle Chapter: Strong words
8th of August.
What has started as a simple misunderstood or as a simple aggressive way of telling Russia to get their troops out of our territory, this has broken out some reactions from Georgians, Russians, and now Ossetians and Abkhazians. The conflict started with three participants, and might end with six participants, and some unknown reaction.
If we had to ask what really happened, it is not clear at this moment. There are a lot of versions who come at the moment of asking such a hard question: What happened? Every participant in this battle has their own version.
One of the main points to remark is that there was a muted voice. The Ossetians lost a war, and their nation started to be a part of Georgia. This has lead to keep them fighting for their right to be free again, but Georgian authorities doesn’t want to allow them to be free. This has lead to discontent in the former Ossetia residents. During the period that involves the end of Georgia – Ossetia war, there were a group of “terrorists”, people who have been training people to free South and North Ossetia from the Georgian territory. The government answered with threats, but this group has not performed an attack against anyone.
They were in the shadows. Now, there are some reports that this group is going to accomplish their objective: Create a free Ossetia for all.
Dmitri Medvedev, president of Russia, has sent a message transmitted in all the radio and television stations of Russia. In the message, he says:
“It is well known that the people of South Ossetia claim for their land, and they are in their right to do so. We are fully supporting their petition. Georgia is blind, thanks to their government. This leads us to think that not only Georgia is behind this.”
The Russian Federation sent an ammount of troops to the border, like Georgia did also. There is tension in the Russian - Georgian border, as troops can start to fight... and the real war begin.
But where the real war began is in Abkhazia. While the independists control a big part of it... they want their nation free from Georgia. The Georgian troops are being expelled from Abkhazia, mainly due to the conflict in South Ossetia. The Abkhazian leader Noncommunist haven't done any kind of declarations yet.
It is only matter of time to know what will come. The abkhazians were silent. Now, today, they started to talk. And their voice is starting to sound in many places at the same time.
This game has been inactive. What did I do wrong?
I'm waiting for American/UN/Georgia. I mean, I can't do this alone as Russia.
Thats right SwedishFish.
I will contact everyone of them and we will see who is playing and who is not.
Damn, it was my first IH to take off! Will look for new players, and if you want to retreat, do so. I won't be angry with you, SF.

Peoples of the Civilized World:
Neither the U.N. nor NATO (nor the rest of the Civilized World) recognize the existence of South Ossetia, just as they do not recognize the so-called "independent" desident regions of Transnistria and Abkhazia. The reason for this?: The said areas are rightfully a part of their mother-nations, pure and simple!
