-To prepare for unification ((see below)) with Indigosoki-Vontropanos, the military goes out in force to crush the remaining rebels, marching on any know rebel camps and combing the wilderness for any unknown. In the cities, soldiers fill the streets in search of any known dissidents. A reward is offered to any citizen who can identify a rebel and provide evidence of their guilt.
Infrastructure Actions:
-Military construction continues in former Indigosoki-Vontropanos.
Diplomatic Actions:
-The Mylanese delegation in Kurubar suggests that the trade route should stretch around the entire continent, going all the way from the capital of Mylanos to the capital of Q'rin and back again, cutting through the capitals and/or ports of every coastal nation. A road from Riplentique, through Mendratia, to Gualichos is also suggested. They argue that uniting all of the nations in trade could bring nothing but prosperity for all, and form or strengthen ties between the various countries.
((If that's confusing, here is a rough visual aid showing only the basic idea. The red is the main route, and the blue is the route from Riplentique to Gualichos.))
Informal Actions:
-A proclamation is issued in Indigosoki-Vontropanos. As a result of increasing stability in the region, all citizens of the former nation who publicly pledge themselves as loyal citizens of Mylanos shall be considered as such. They shall be treated as if they were born and raised in Mylanos. All of the rights, freedoms, and benefits granted to the Mylanese shall be afforded to them. This includes the ability to serve in the military, and in the process (as it is in Mylanos), attain positions in the government. The nation of Indigosoki-Vontropanos is dead, there is only Mylanos. Should this transition be peaceful, occupying military forces will gradually be recalled in the coming months ((posts)), to be replaced only with necessary defenders from the Home Guard.
-A second proclamation follows shortly thereafter, stating that anyone who refuses to pledge allegiance to Mylanos shall be provided free and safe passage to a nation of their choosing, if the nation will have them, via the vessels on loan from Kyrik, starting next month ((post)). The citizens have three months ((posts)) to decide. Nothing is officially said of what will happen to those who will neither pledge nor leave, but it wouldn't take much assumption to realize the outcome will not be pleasant. Amnesty is also granted to any rebels who surrender their weapons and pledge.
-Second Army begins hunting down “The Defenders of the Motherland.”
Loaned Kyrian Naval Forces ((See below)):
-The Kyrian naval forces are tasked with patrolling the coast and popular trade routes.
Infrastructure Actions:
-Reconstruction efforts in Indigosoki-Vontropanos shift from the infrastructure to the military. Old Indigosoki-Vontropanos forts and other military installations are being repaired for Second Army's use in defeating local guerrillas, and new ones begin construction. This includes border forts with Southern Kurubar's claim.
Diplomatic Actions:
-Mylanos responds to Kurubar's invitation, and delegates are quickly dispatched.
Informal Actions:
-A national day of games and feasting are held throughout Mylanos and its newly annexed lands to celebrate continuing stability in Indigosoki-Vontropanos and the new alliance with Kyrik.
-Propaganda is spread in Indigosoki-Vontropanos denouncing “The Defenders of the Motherland.”

Loaned Kyrian Naval Forces:
-Kyrik has loaned 240,000 men and their ships to Mylanos under the terms of the treaty. ((See Kyrik's last Action post.))

Please provide a RP example/response to the following scenario, using this format:
Me: Don't touch me! *Screams* Bandit: Listen! Give me all the goodies you have in your bag! Now! *Starts pointing him with a gun*
You are walking through the streets of "Varisvara", a small old town located in an island. As you walk you notice a shining object in an alley. You attempt to grab it but as soon as you crouch and try to catch this object someone appears behind you. Then this person says something to you...
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"

Me: *Swears under his breath* "You win this round, stranger..."
-No changes. Stabilization efforts in Indigosoki-Vontropanos continue.
Fourth Army:
-Fourth Army marches to Fort Kandor in preparation to answer Kyrik's call for military aid. ((See below))
Infrastructure Actions:
-Reconstruction of damaged Indigosoki-Vontropanos cities and infrastructure continues.
-Food stockpiling is mildly increased in preparation for winter.
Diplomatic Actions:
-Mylanos agrees to Kyrik's request for military assistance, offering the entirety of Fourth Army, approximately 190,000 troops (Nearly 2/9th of the entire military), under the condition that Kyrik provides the naval transportation for the army, since Mylanos lacks a sufficient navy to transport so many troops.
-Mylanos drafts and proposes a military treaty with Kyrik for future military assistance between both nations. Mylanos is also open to future trade agreements.
The Proposed Treaty:
((I could not be bothered to write a fancy fluff article at midnight, so I just listed the key conditions for the treaty. But a tl;dr would be that Mylanos and Kyrik will bolster eachother's military weaknesses, which for Mylanos is the navy and for Kyrik is the army (by pre-buildup comparison). I don't see any obvious issues with it (keep in mind I'm writing at midnight), but I'm open to just editing the post at TheSkeleMiner's request in Newsletter chat instead of dealing with a ping/pong of debate posts.))
The Mylanos/Kyrik Military Alliance:
At all times:
The nation being lent forces shall have command of said forces until they are returned.
A nation can refuse or return mandatory forces sent from the other nation if they are unneeded or cannot be supplied.
Neither nation is required to declare war with anyone in support of the other nation.
The nation being lent forces must supply said forces to the best of their ability. Additional supplies shall be provided, if necessary, from their homeland.
Kyrik must always provide naval transport for any Mylanese forces and supplies it is receiving or returning.
If one of our two nations is about to go to war, the other should be notified in advance so that they may prepare the additional mandatory wartime forces.
Additional wartime forces must be returned after the war is over unless permission is given from their homeland.
It is recommended (but not required) to lend more than the required number of forces if possible.
The number of troops to be sent only includes active military personnel, not potential draftees.
Mandatory forces to be lent if both Mylanos and Kyrik are in a state of overall peace:
Mylanos shall provide Kyrik with atleast ~1/7th of its entire land army for purposes such as border defense or internal security.
Kyrik shall provide Mylanos with atleast ~1/7th of its entire navy (ships included) for purposes such as troop transport, coastal defense, and trade route defense.
Mandatory forces to be lent if one of our nations is in a state of war (defensive or offensive) and the other is in an overall state of peace:
The peace-nation shall provide the war-nation with atleast ~1/5th of its entire forces (Naval if Kyrik is the peace-nation, and land if Mylanos is the peace-nation).
Mandatory forces to be lent if both of our nations are in a state of war:
Neither nation is required to supply the other with any forces, but for the sake of the alliance, it is recommended to lend whatever can be spared depending on the situation.
Informal Actions:
-Preparations are made for a national day of games and feasting to celebrate continuing stability in Indigosoki-Vontropanos and the potential military alliance with Kyrik.
Diplomatic Ties:
(+) Potential alliance with Kyrik.
(-) Ongoing fighting in Indigosoki-Vontropanos.
Military Situations:
Second Army: -Same as before.
Fourth Army:
-190,000 troops moved to Fort Kandor to be received by Kyrik's navy.
-Second Army continues its push to secure Mylanos's claim of Indigosoki-Vontropanos. Soldiers are left behind in towns and villages to provide security, and although displaced citizens are encouraged to seek residence within the safer cities rather than flocking to refugee camps in Mylanos, the military is no longer actively suppressing such efforts.
Infrastructure Actions:
-Construction of temporary refugee camps is completed.
-Reconstruction of damaged Indigosoki-Vontropanos cities and infrastructure begins.
Diplomatic Actions:
-Mylanos agrees to Southern Kurubar's proposal without argument, hoping to begin improving relations with the nation.
Informal Actions:
-Military High Command has announced the completion of several refugee camps for displaced citizens of Indigosoki-Vontropanos. Plans for the reconstruction and annexation of Mylanos's claim have also been released. The people of Indigosoki-Vontropanos are promised that the transition shall be as peaceful as possible, and that they shall not lose any of the basic human rights.
-Donations of extra food and other amenities are being accepted for the refugee camps to supplement the government's provisions.
-The Home Guard sends 200 soldiers to the coastal settlement to reinforce the local militia. An additional 4,000 troops are reallocated to the various coastal towns from the nearby Fort Kandor.
Second Army:
-Second Army begins its march into Indogosoki-Vontropanos, with no clear goals in mind other than seizing control of all major towns and removing the current "rulers" from power. Any refugees would be turned away, by force if necessary, but are assured that peace shall soon come to the region. Messengers are sent to Fort Baerlon warning of any potential refugees trying to enter the country.
Infrastructure Actions:
-Construction of temporary refugee camps for the people of Indogosoki-Vontropanos begins, to prepare for the inevitable influx of unwanted refugees that somehow still make it into the country, as well as for any Mylanese citizens rendered homeless by the coastal raid.
Diplomatic Actions:
-Mylanos sends diplomats to Southern Kurubar to begin negotiating how Indogosoki-Vontropanos shall be fairly divided between the two nations.
Informal Actions:
-None
Diplomatic Ties:
-None
Military Situations:
((I've got no idea if OOC brackets are necessary, but whatever. See the above post for this, hardly anything has changed. And keep in mind that only the armies currently doing things were mentioned. Mylanos has a standing army of 900,000 divided into 9 Armies of varying sizes, most of those not currently doing anything are located in Fort Baerlon and the capital. Navy's still basically nonexistent.))
Early warning that I'll be out of town from Friday until Saturday evening. I've got some packing to do, so you probably won't see my first action post until Saturday.
