Transvaal

Nation Information
Transvaal (Transvaal Republiek) is a very large and older nation at 104 days old with citizens primarily of Dutch ethnicity whose religion is Christianity.

It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay moderately high tax rates and they are somewhat unhappy in their work environments as a result. The citizens of Transvaal work diligently to produce Water and Sugar as tradable resources for their nation.

The government has no definite position on foreign affairs at this time. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Transvaal has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Transvaal does not allow any form of government protests. Its armed police forces work quickly at "dissolving" any and all government protests. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Free speech is considered taboo in Transvaal. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. The government of Transvaal will trade with any other country regardless of ethical consequences.

Territory
map as of May 10, 2007 African national reserves in red; Occupied Economic zone in blue

The Transvaal Republic lays claim over all territory which made up the former Transvaal province of South Africa as well as the enclave of Walvis Bay in Namibia. At present, the northern slice of territory around Messina along the Zimbabwe border remains outside Transvaal direct control.

However, due to military expansion from the Third Great War, Swaziland and parts of Botswana (around Gaborone) now come under Transvaal direct control; these two territories are governed as the Tswana and Swazi African National Reserves.

On April 30, 2007 Transvaal gained direct access to the Indian Ocean when Maputo in Mozambique was occupied. The following day, the Sotho African National Reserve was established from occupied Lesotho territory. All occupied Mozambique territory was incorporated into the Occupied Economic Zone on May 11, 2007.

Independence War & Great War II
26 DES 2006 - PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL: Staatspresident Botha het vroeër vandag die onafhanklikheid van die Transvaal Afrikaaners Republiek verklaar. Die nuwe volkland en die Staatspresident is met die wydverspreide steun van die vriendlike nasionale volkere van die wêreld ontvang en hy is in Noordryk in aangeneem.

DEC.26, 2006 - PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL: Earlier today State President Botha declared the independence of the Transvaal Afrikaaner Republic. The new nation and its State President have been received with widespread support from the many friendly nationalist nations of the world and have been accepted into Nordreich.

DEC.29, 2006 - PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL: Reports of rioting in the streets of Pretoria sparked as a direct result of the on-going Transvaal-Oil War have now been confirmed – although sources are contradicting regarding the actual origin of the strife.

Independent media reports that yesterday’s defeat of the Transvaal Defense Force during the Second Battle of Pretoria weakened the domestic security forces’ ability to maintain public calm during this time of trial.

During his morning RadioTransvaal broadcast, Statspresident Botha however was claiming that “this is strictly the work of anti-Afrikaaner terrorists bankrolled by Zulus” as the true cause of the panic, as well as laying some blame with the liberal media outlets based in the capital city.

Botha then stated "...despite the internal and external pressures faced by the nascent nation, generous foreign aid to cope with these difficulties has started to flow in to help buttress Transvaal as the nationalist community rallies around the survival of their newest member."

JAN.3, 2006 - DOORNRANDJIES, NEAR THE TRANSVAAL BORDER: We are reporting from the town of Doornrandjies, a couple of kilometers south from the Transvaal frontier, on the road to Johannesburg.

The situation within Transvaal has become chaotic, confusing, and tense.

Before we were arrested two days ago by government troops and forcibly deported from Transvaal territory, we had heard numerous word-of-mouth reports of an anti-government rebellion - sparked after some members of the Transvaal Defense Force took up tactical positions within the African shantytowns.

The Transvaal Defense Force is active in a conflict with the forces of I like Oil, a war in which Transvaal somehow became embroiled a couple of days after unilateral independence was declared. We had seen and filmed footage of some of the fighting, but soon afterwards we were arrested. All our video footage and equipment was confiscated and destroyed in front of us.

We were treated fairly decently under the tense circumstances but some of the TDF soldiers escorting us to the border to deport us had mentioned causally that some Pretoria-based foreign news crew had been roughed up during their arrest and were still under detention.

Some unnamed government sources have nervously stated the situation in Pretoria “is one of utter anarchy” and the country has been propped-up operating on foreign aid handouts from assorted friendly and allied nations. RadioTransvaal has been off the air since State President Botha’s broadcast on December 29 and telephone and television networks have been cut.

However, we’ve also heard reports that President Botha is actually in full control of the situation and has simply been manipulating the escalation of strife and violence as a means to crush potential and real opposition to the Nationalvolk Party régime.

JAN.4, 2006 - PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL: The State Government of Transvaal this morning announced five presidential decrees to consolidate stability throughout the nation in the face of continued unrest in the Pretoria shantytowns:

DECREE #1) The State Government of Transvaal is maintained by the one-party rule by the Transvaal-Afrikaanse Nationalvolk Party (TANP); all other political parties and organization are prohibited.

DECREE #2) Transvaal citizenship is limited to only those persons (regardless of colour) who can prove spoken and written fluency in the Afrikaans language.

DECREE #3) the State Government of Transvaal reserves the sole and unilateral right to impose as it sees fit the application of apartheid laws and the usage of capital punishment within the nation.

DECREE #4) the State Government of Transvaal places an immediate moratorium on Decree #3.

DECREE #5) the official long-form name of the country is changed from Transvaal Afrikaaners Republiek to Transvaal Afrikaanse Republiek to reflect the linguistic basis (and non-racial basis) for citizenship.

Referdendum Crisis & Boer Staat Intervention
JAN.23, 2007 - Transvaal citizens have been asked to go to the polls on Wednesday, January 31 to determine whether apartheid laws should be reinstated in the Transvaal Afrikaanse Republiek.

JAN.24, 2007 - Transvaal President Botha’s announcement of a national referendum regarding the future status of apartheid in that country has drawn heated reactions of condemnation from the international community.

Botha has publicly kept silent in the face of international protest and has refused to answer direct questions regarding his motives for the referdendum, which will take place on January 31.

Sources from inside the government are pointing towards three possible theories: one explanation is the referendum is a move by Nationalvolks Party hardliners to deal with suppression of the Zulu Rebellion which has plagued Transvaal for almost a month now. The second theory going around is that Botha is manipulating the referendum to isolate extremists within his government while also using it as a means to give the Transvaal the facade of being a democratic state. The third possible theory is that Transvaal territory will soon include both Johannesburg and Soweto, and the President wanted a clear mandate on the future status of Soweto once it becomes incorporated into Transvaal – whether integrated or segregated.

The referendum at present is difficult to predict as only 14.4% of the entire Transvaal population can actually vote in the referendum. Informal popular opinion polls at present indicate only about 36% support for apartheid – but the big question remains whether President Botha would respect or act on the outcome regardless of the result. His own personal views on the referendum are not known, however he did mention in a very brief statement on Afrikaans language radio this morning he would not be casting a ballot:

"Hierdie rasvraag behoefte nou ’n besluit. As apartheid is iets wat die volk wil, dan is dit so - maar kies dit nou of nooit! Ek sal nie in die verkiesing deelneem nie, sodat die Transvaal-Afrikaanersvolk die finaal woord sal hê."

''This racial question needs a decision now. If apartheid is something the people want, then it is so - but choose it now or never. I won’t be participating in the election so that the Transvaal people will have the final say.''

JAN.24, 2007 - EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST: "...and as I have stated before to Mr. Mandela, the Transvaal despite being half the strength of South Africa is still almost twice efficent (27.74 to 17.36). So, many of our citizens look across the border at South Africa and see the ANC trash heap wreck which he has built and simply want no part of that reality.

''Whether we Transvaal-Afrikaaners volk desire apartheid or not to protect and insulate us from our internal and external enemies is not just my decision to make - but a decision for all the Citizens of Transvaal to decide as well. We are a democratic nation in regards to respecting the wishes and desires of the Transvaal-Afrikaaners volk.''

''Our opponents say we are trampling on the rights of so-called indigenous people - but what about our rights as a nation? Afrikaaner culture was born in Africa, and we are every part indigenous to this county as are the Zulus and Xhosa. We are not colonials - in fact we fought against British colonialism - we have no homeland to return to in Europe, our homeland is HERE!''

What the Transvaal-Afrikaaners are deciding on Wednesday is if they want to impliment outright and full segregation; regardless what the outcome of the vote is on Wednesday, the language-citizenship laws will remain in force.

However, now based on our observations of the reaction of the international community and their generally hostile and anti-Afrikaaner stance, to mainatin and protect a fair referendum completely free from all external influence and interference, as of this moment a state of martial law is now in effect in Transvaal and our border with South Africa has been closed - and will remain as such until the culmination of the referendum."

JAN.30, 2007, PRETORIA 12:40am - Voting in Transvaal has now started in that nation’s controversial referendum on the re-imposition of apartheid laws, with polls opening forty minutes ago just after midnight local time. The final official results are expected to be announced by the Staatsregeringministrie van Nasionaalverkiesing (Department of National Elections) in twelve hours.

JAN.30, 2007, JOHANNESBURG 8:34am - Despite the recent imposition of martial law by State President Botha on Saturday and the final suppression yesterday of the last vestiges of the Zulu Rebellion opposition, it was unusually tranquil on the streets of Pretoria and Johannesburg this morning as voters woke up and made their way to the balloting stations set up in local schools, libraries, and retirement homes. All business have been ordered closed so that voting citizens could have the unhindered opportunity to cast their ballot.

Two people we interviewed on the street pretty much summed up the polarisation arising from the issue:

"Elkeen behoort Afrikaans te praat en Afrikaner te wees of maak hul swarte-ANC monde toe" [Everyone should speak Afrikaans and be Afrikaaner or shut their black-ANC mouths]

"Ek dink dat ons is alle Transvaal-Afrikaanses - ek steun nie dit. Die apartheid probleem is sommer lastig en dit pla my, ek het gedink dat apartheid was so dood soos 'n mossie, soos ons hier sê " [I think we're all Transvaal-Afrikaanses - I don't support it. The apartheid problem simply bothers and worries me, I thought it was something dead as a sparrow, as we say here"]

In a nation whose government is usually hostile and defensive towards the foreign press and media, accredited foreign reporters and film crews were unexpectantly being permitted to re-enter the country under escort by security forces of the Transvaal Defense Force.

Our film crew was allowed to visit a neighbourhood devastated in the Zulu Rebellion and film shantytowns leveled by the military during the Zulu Rebellion. We however saw no damage resulting from Transvaal involvement in Great War II, as for most of that war TDS troops were on the offensive and operating outside the national borders.

Travelling around Pretoria and newly-incorporated Johannesburg, we could see newly-constructed billboards decked out with the Staatspresident’s portrait embellished with such nationalist slogans as “BOTHA - Destroyer of Lord Jolon of Astaroth” or the cumbersome ”BOTHA – The Face of a Man who makes your being able to vote for him, a proud privilege” - as well as pictures of Nordreich’s Kaiser Martens awarding Botha the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves for his service in Great War II.

“WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE” - Remarking to his international critics that “Ons het ons niks om te verskuil nie”, Botha the gave presidential authorization to the Staatsregeringministrie van Nasionaalverkiesing to permit the foreign ambassadors from the Republic of Venice, Democratic Ninara and Kashlinkov to scruitinize the proceedings.

JAN.31, 2007 - OFFICIAL RESULTS FROM NATIONAL REFERENDUM REGARDING APARTHEID - Out of a total civilian population of 1,289, there were a total of 186 qualified voters able to participate. The results are as follows: YES votes = 42 (34.50%); NO votes = 70 (62.50%); DID NOT VOTE = 74

The referendum motion is therefore in accordance with Transvaal Nasionaalverkiesing Law to be declared DEFEATED by a vote margin of 62.50%.

JAN.31, 2007 - It appears that Transvaal citizens have rejected the government referendum on the re-implementation of apartheid segregation in Transvaal.

When asked for his reaction, Staatspresident Botha shrugged - and said, exhausted and sheepishly: “You know, the people have spoken and I accept the word of our citizens because we are a democratic nation of Afrikaansevolk – so now let’s move on”. In what soon became a candid interview, the normally reluctant and reserved Botha opened up to foreign journalists with his own personal observation regarding the results from the election:

[cue in sound-bite from RADIO-TRANSVAAL]

“''Let’s face it… I have to walk a political tight-rope everyday, and I’m not happy with this high number of indifferent, absent voters. I would have preferred a clearer mandate either way.''

The JA-vote will likely claim all those absentee votes would have gone to them and thus give them a majority decision – however one does have to wonder that if all those voters really felt that passionately for apartheid, that they’d just show their support by simply all staying home?

''Likewise, if the decision came in to approve and re-legislate apartheid, then I would have respected that decision of the democratic wishes of our citizens – but, ach! the rest of the outside world would have a field day with that, no? You know, either way - it wouldn’t be the first time someone somewhere brands me as being un-democratic because they didn’t like the outcome [laughs].''

''However, those citizens who made the effort to go to the polls, a good majority of them voted NEE and rejected apartheid. I gave our people the chance to speak and did not cast a ballot myself nor interfere in the results, so it was all their election to ruin, so to speak [laughs] so like I said… it is now time to move on.''

''Satisfied? No doubt this was one of many bumps our great Afrikaanse nation will face on its road towards prosperity for our Afrikaaner people. Thank you.”''

[cue out sound-bite]

Seeing no outbreak of incidents of violence or civil disobedience, Staatspresident Botha had earlier in the day declared martial law at an end and reluctantly lowered the national DEFCON rating. As he left the press conference room, it was obvious President Botha had been worn out by the tension from the days leading up to the vote.

One leading member of the JA-vote had this to say however:

''“This referendum was a sham, a farce - it’s complete bull**** because almost 40% of the electorate – and I’m not talking here about all the darkies and tribals squatting on our land – but 40% of the citizen vote, the vast majority of which is overwhelmingly white, they just simply stayed at home. Botha tries to claim how he’s being being democratic and all, but did he listen to all the Afrikaaners in this country? I don’t think so.”''

We interviewed three women on the street as they left the polls, and they had this to say to us:

''“I was really undecided going to the polls, as I do not totally trust or feel comfortable with all the tribal people who squat in this country. I do fear the threat of ANC communism in South Africa, and it’s the reason why I fled living under the ANC regime and moved to Transvaal. I grew tired keeping a loaded gun under my bed, worried that Zulu paramilitaries would car-jack me, or break into my house and &#^$ my children. So I do feel the fear is still there and very real - enough so why I think there are many people who do want to see a return to segregation.”''

''“It is pretty obvious a vote for apartheid, while it would improve our domestic security in the face of our internal threats, the situation outside our borders and our dealings in the global market would probably be tragic and our domestic situation could suffer and ignite as a result. We’d face becoming an economic wreck all over again from possible sanctions.”''

“I think a lot of swing-voters now don’t feel so threatened by external enemies now that our fellow brothers and sisters in Boer Staat have the nuclear bomb to help deter the same common external enemies and threats that face and target our own nation – so some of us, are probably more willing and comfortable to simply opt to maintain the status quo which we have now in Transvaal.”

To give some credence to this final comment, as we wrapped up our interview and put our equipment away, some white children skateboarded past us, wearing “Boers With Bombs!” t-shirts.

JAN.31, 2007 SOMEWHERE IN TRANSVAAL - "This election was a bogus and racist election, rigged by the tribals! This wasn't valid at all. Evil racist tribals have been oppressing our people!" Screamed Albrecht Sharpsville, a local "equal rights" official as he waved a clenched fist in the air.

"For five hundred years the Afrikaner people have been suffering under the yoke of tribalism and then neo-tribalism imposed upon us by the black man! I say that we either get a recount and then a subsequent revote or we tear this place down! Burn baby burn!" Exclaimed a nearby young militant, perhaps still just a teenager, it was hard to tell with his face-mask on as it was.

"Revote now! Revote now! The absentee ballots of white people were discarded, white people were kept away from the polls, and if the chads on the white man's ballot were hanging or unclear, those ballots were tossed aside. REVOTE NOW!" Sharpsville hollered at the top of his lungs as the dozens of folks behind him with signs reading "We want apartheid!" and "Revote Now!" continued to follow as they joined in with their chant.

"Apartheid now!"

"Apartheid now!"

Albrecht had just come from a speech where he declared that he had a dream where one day his little white daughters could go to school without the fear of being brutally raped by "savage kaffir tribal beasts" and his white sons could go out into the cities without fear of being robbed and mowed down by "stone age relics" and now he was getting ready to make another speech just as soon as his procession of equality arrived in the capital of Transvaal.

JAN.31, 2007 SOUTHWESTERN BOER STAAT, NEAR TRANSVAAL BORDER - The rumbling of the tanks of the 4th armored brigade had doubtlessly stirred the previously slumbering tribals and taken away from the only time most any of them were permitted to rest from the constant demands of their white bosses, the night. A full eighty Olifant tanks combined with no less than two-hundred APCs and various IFVs pushed forward in a long drawn out column with FAVs on either side, fanned out as to provide cover to the flanks. They were to establish their primary forward base just a scant mile from the border with Transvaal, with their artillery being sighted in against prospective targets with the aid of laser technology. Hopefully it wouldn't come to bloodshed, but they were ready for it if it did.

Recently reinforced by a company of paracommandos, an armored recon battalion, and two infantry regiments, the Transvaal Stabilization Force, as it was being termed, was ready to intervene in the event that the tribals of Transvaal rose up to openly oppose the righteous and just white calls for revotes in what had obviously been a rigged election. The government in Staatsburg had decided that the situation was entirely unacceptable and thus the option of military intervention had not only been considered, but the preliminary planning moves had been approved.

Foreign Minister von Hugel had already announced a 'treaty of friendship' with the people of Transvaal and with the Transvaal Volksfront under Albrecht Sharpsville, for the sake of assuring that the government of Boer Staat would stand with the recognized voice of the white people of the Transvaal, no matter what came to pass.

Overly eager soldiers, mostly cocky young lads with older and hardened NCOs, were readying for what they were expecting to be quite the exercise in regional intervention, something that their government was hoping to get them used to. If Transvaal went well, there was no telling where it might end.

JAN.31, 2007 STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL, FOREIGN MINISTER FOR BOER STAAT - It is the official policy of the government of the Republic of Boer Staat, to regard the recent so-called elections in Transvaal as nothing more than a public display of fraud and contempt for the Afrikaner people, on the part of the government of Transvaal. We regard the government of Transvaal as existing for the sole purpose of exercising the will of the ANC and the Mandela bloc, and indeed we regard the government of Transvaal as a key component of the Mandela Bloc. The government of Transvaal is an indispensable limb in the overall body of the anti-Boer conspiracy which is well underway across southern Africa.

Due to the recent happenings in Transvaal, the government of Boer Staat sees no alternative save for the the issuance of a peaceful call for the government of Transvaal to resign in its entirety, their plan for terror domination having been foiled by virtue of their fraudulent elections finally being exposed. It would be a disaster to the region if people were to come to blows over the actions of just a few corrupt government officials in the land of Transvaal.

It would also be unfortunate if other nations were sucked into what is regarded as a family matter to be settled between the Afrikaner people and within the Afrikaner community. This is not an issue of concern for the tribals unless they make it so. As of the present time, Boer Staat will be increasing its readiness in preparation to repel any foreign coalition of communists seeking to work with domestic tribal savages in an attempt to bring down the popularly supported government of the Boervolk Republic.

FEB.1, 2007 - Only scant hours after the announcement of a referendum result which opposed the re-imposition of apartheid, the Government of Transvaal has now been plunged into a new constitutional crisis after hardliners resigned en masse in protest from the government and formed their own faction within the ruling Transvaal-Afrikaaners Nationalvolks Party (NVP).

Calling themselves the Transvaal Volksfront (TVF), the leader of the break-away faction Albrecht Sharpsville announced the current Government of Transvaal had now lost the mandate of the people and demanded a new referendum on account of the huge number of absentee voters. He also claimed electoral fraud by the Botha regime and directly challenged the Staatspresident’s leadership within the NVP - demanding presidential elections to determine the fate of the country and of President Botha as well.

A few hours later, President Botha then suspended the constitution and assumed temporary dictatorial powers ‘as a pre-cautionary measure to maintain public and national order’ after he was informed by Transvaal Defense Force border patrols that neighbouring Boer Staat had been carrying out military manoeuvres along their common frontier and briefly crossed into Transvaal territory around the Soweto Township as an apparent show of force.

Martial law, which had only been lifted earlier in the day, was re-imposed and a heavy TDF military presence soon appeared on the streets of Pretoria and Johannesburg.

As we broadcast now, the remaining NVP loyalist government supporters are presently in meetings with President Botha to determine the next course of action to deal with the growing crisis.

FEB.1, 2007 EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST - ''Yesterday afternoon, in the face of government resignation and collapse, I Staatspresident Botha was forced to suspend the constitution of the Transvaal Afrikaanse Republiek and assume full authoritative power. Martial law has been resumed and the Transvaal Defense Force will be enforcing a dusk-to-dawn curfew; authorized by Presidential Decree to resort to deadly force if required to maintain civic order. At present, Transvaal is at DEFCON 1 as a defensive precautionary and will remain as such until the peaceful conclusion of this national crisis.''

''After discussion with my supporters in the Loyalist Wing of the Nationalvolks Party, we have decided the best course of action to advert and diffuse the very real and serious threat of Afrikaner civil war is to announce presidential elections within the Nationalvolks Party and a new referendum on apartheid, both to be decided in balloting which will end at 10:00pm local time on Friday, February 9. As per election law, only legal Transvaal citizens will be allowed to participate in the balloting.''

''The Transvaal Nasionaalverkiesing (National Election) Law has been amended, requiring a majority total of all possible votes for the result to pass – and not a majority percentage of votes cast, as the previous election rules stipulated. This amendment will ensure a more conclusive result.''

T''he Staatsregeringministrie van Nasionaalverkiesing has authorized the ambassadors of Republic of Venice, Democratic Ninara, and Kashlinkov to once again observe and scrutinise the proceedings. Our territorial neighbours Boer Staat and South Africa will also be invited to provide observers to participate in the scrutiny as well.''

Now, regarding the incident reported by Ambassador D'Este of the Republic of Venice:

''The investigation has determined that the incident indeed took place at Polling Station #3 in Johannesburg, and the perpetrators most likely have ties to one Albrecht Sharpsville, a notorious Rhodesian mercenary agitator bankrolled by Boer Staat. A witness supplied police with the license plate number of the getaway car, a navy-blue 1989 VW Jetta which is registered in the name of Sharpsville's sister-in-law. The investigation also proved beyond a doubt that no ballot boxes were tampered with. There were 112 ballots issued and signed-off by voters out of a possible 186, and all 112 used and 74 unused ballots have been accounted for.''

In conclusion, if there was to be any fraud planned, it was not planned by the Government of Transvaal.

That is all… Transvaal will prevail!

FEB.1, 2007 PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL - "We're taking back our country from the Jews and the Kaffirs! Come on white people, we can do it! Let's take it all back! Apartheid forever!" Exclaimed the masked paramilitary lieutenant colonel as he barked through a microphone while the four dozen men spread-out behind him kept their Fn-Fal rifles clutched tightly across their chests, each man likewise being masked and wearing tactical body armor, provided by "like-minded foreign donors".

There were talks about the elections and talks about diplomacy with the ANC currently being held in a government ministry building just a few blocks away, and this platoon of militants was aiming to get there and link-up with six other platoons each varying from twenty to fifty patriots strong, before they would consolidate all of their strength and finally use an Boer Staat provided BTR-60 to crash into the building and take it by force.

Unknown (ideally unknown) to the security forces in Transvaal was the fact that twenty-two commandos from a Boer Staat long-range recon unit had infiltrated into Transvaal and taken up positions north of Pretoria so they were situated in an area that would allow them to make an attempt to knock out the main power sources once the order was given, after which they would take up a spot along a main artery into the city and destroy any military units moving along it.

"We're taking back this country and if Botha doesn't like it, he can move in with Mandela!" Bellowed a cocky captain as he maneuvered his platoon ever closer to what he was expecting would be the substantial police presence just around the corner of the office building his men were fast approaching, two blocks parallel from the platoon led by the lieutenant colonel.

FEB.1, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM HIGH CHANCELLOR HENDRIK VON KRUGER OF BOER STAAT - ''While we had hoped for orderly and fair elections the reality of the situation in Transvaal is anything but fair and just. We have realized, much to our chagrin, that the government of Transvaal, under the multi-racialist tyrant Botha, is attempting to stifle free speech and free assembly through the use of the chaos brought on by urban black gangs and treacherous secret police units.''

''We of Boer Staat will not recognize these pathetic sham elections or anything that results from them. Furthermore we believe that all loyal Boer-Afrikaner peoples and indeed all white people, must boycott the elections and utterly and totally refuse to go to the polls to take part in this facade of freedom. Not only that, but we have dozens of independently verified and confirmed reports of black-on-white violence at the polls, often encouraged or at least passively tolerated by any police present. There have been cases of white women gang-raped by blacks while inside the voting booths.''

''As for right now, the nation of Boer Staat and indeed the entire population of Boer Staat, affirm with this declaration their friendship with the people of Transvaal and their ongoing commitment to defend their friends. Boer Staat shall regard any outside interference in the affairs of the whites of Transvaal as an attack upon the citizens of Boer Staat itself and the nation of Boer Staat itself, requiring a full response against the offending nation.''

''Finally, any and all non-whites in Transvaal that are in possession of firearms have exactly twenty-four hours to relinquish possession of their firearms to the nearest upright white citizen that they come across, or else measures will be taken to assure their compliance. If our armed forces are forced to provide security for the whites of Transvaal to assure the ongoing safety of their very lives, we will not look well upon armed blacks. Indeed if we are made to enter into Transvaal any black found in possession of a firearm or other device with a primary purpose as an implement of war, will be summarily hanged.''

FEB.1, 2007 - The Human Republic supports Staatspresident Botha and is against apartheid laws.

FEB.2, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM NELSON MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - I know that Hendrik von Kruger has little or no respect for me, and certainly none for the African National Congress, but I hope that he can at least hold me in a decent light long enough to hear my words carefully, and with attention: we will not allow a paramilitary incident disrupt the elections in the Transvaal.

''This election is not looked on favorably by the ANC, but as president, I must have a liberal attitude toward governance and decision-making that stretches beyond the boundaries of party stance. I, personally, do not support many of Mr. Botha's policies regarding many issues, but I see in his campaign a future for our cause, and I see the possibility for peaceful diplomatic relations that will be far less strained than if his opponent won this coveted seat.''

''I propose that Kruger withdraw from this fair and honest election his will to impose a police state, and let the people speak. Herr Kruger, hear me now: do not fear the people; let them have their way.''

If there is any violence surrounding this election, the Republic of South Africa will definitely respond with its own peacekeeping force, as it will not allow the developments of this separatist state disturb the rest of South Africa.

FEB.2, 2007 - The first poll results in the Transvaal Presidential Election & Apartheid Referendum are starting to trickle in.

After 11 votes cast so far, the incumbant Staatspresident Botha holds a commanding 10 to 1 lead for retaining his presidency against his opponent Albrecht Sharpsville.

In the separate referendum on apartheid, the NEE-vote [No] has just under 75% of the ballots cast so far, 8 to 3 against the JA-vote [yes]. For either incumbant to secure a guaranteed majority - or for the apartheid motion to pass - the key number of votes required is 97.

In other election news, there was a rather intriguing development earlier today when government election officials showed up unannounced at Albrecht Sharpsville's residence and demanded that he take a proficency test in Afrikaans to confirm his status as a Citizen of Transvaal.

Although he passed with no trouble with 100% - rumour-mongers had been heard spreading the obvious lie questioning whether Sharpsville, due to his Rhodesian origins, was actually fluent enough in Afrikaans to qualify for citizenship and thus stand for election.

When word of this reached Staatspresident Botha, he laughed and then offered to take the proficency exam as a gesture of respect for his candidate. Mr. Botha passed 100%.

FEB.2, 2007 PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL - Rounding the final corner before the building housing the political conference, the first platoon opened up with a barrage of automatic rifle fire above the heads of the first thin line of police as the line itself began to open up at the sight of the onrushing BTR-60 which was barrelling down towards them before it jolted over the curb and surged through the colossal glass doors.

"We're taking over! Police leave now and you won't be harmed!" barked one of the junior officers over a speaker system that had been installed on the armored vehicle.

"Leave now or we will be forced to take action! All police disarm and leave. Those who wish to stay and fight for the Afrikaner people of our great nation may do so, indeed we urge you to do so... Those who cannot stay for whatever reason, or will not, we shall take no vengeange against you or your family if you leave in peace! But Transvaal will be saved!" The next message began as the platoons began to converge on the building itself while an entire rifle squad, having been crammed into the BTR-60, poured out and moved fast (yet with caution) to secure the main conference room itself, lest the enemy politicians make good on their probable desire to escape.

FEB.2, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM HIGH CHANCELLOR HENDRIK VON KRUGER OF BOER STAAT - ''The government of Boer Staat is not pleased with the false flag operation that the governments under Mandela and Botha are staging to try to discredit the Transvaal Volksfront. It is the intention of the government of Boer Staat to see democracy triumph in Transvaal and because of that we are recognizing the results of the election as being in favor of the Transvaal Volksfront.''

The nation of Boer Staat will give the former government of Transvaal approximately twelve hours to properly and peacefully resign and retire from the nation, into exile, or we will be forced to take military action against a regime of death, violence, oppression, and hate, which we also know is seeking to acquire uranium from nations such as Niger and Zaire for the purpose of building horrifying weapons of mass destruction.

''Neither the Botha regime or the Mandela regime can be permitted to possess nuclear weapons. The Mandela government has an ongoing commitment to using any and all means to kill white people and we know that the Botha regime has a commitment to spreading hatred against the white peoples in nations such as Rhodesia and Kenya where the whites are mostly English.''

''While we have a shaky past with the English, we must look to the future and think of innovative and new ways to spread the Afrikaans language and Afrikaner culture across southern Africa. This means Anglo-Boer cooperation. As such, Albrecht Sharpsville is the recognized Commander in Chief, Head of State, and Head of Government for the nation of Transvaal.''

FEB.2, 2007 FROM INSIDE SOUTH AFRICA - Kruger's vicious, fascist police state has no ability to call Botha's administration 'hateful,' 'violent,' or 'oppressive.' In a matter of hours, the full might of the Republic of South Africa will be present in Pretoria, ready to protect Herr Botha and, if need be, to fire on Boer troops.

20 JNC stealth helicopters and 35 Rooivalk AH-2As have been deployed to the skies around the Pretoria capital area by a defiant Mandela, who insists that elections are to be protected in Pretoria.

"Boer forces," called out a lieutenant colonel to a brigade of the invading army. "Your time to withdraw is at hand. There is an entire regiment of South African National Defense troops ready to fire on you, and a brigade of the Reconnaissance Commando unit of Special Forces is already in the city."

Commander Inzaman Graem of SAND Special Forces leads 300 of his soldiers into the capital area, covered by six tanks, which have entered the streets of Pretoria in advance, firing two shells into the air in a show of force.

FEB.2, 2007 EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST - In response to recent military incursions directly by or through agents of both ANC South Africa and Boer Staat, the Government of the Transvaal Afrikaanse Republiek demands that both governments remove their forces from our sovereign territory within 12 hours or we shall be forced to use deadly force to enforce government authority. Leave our nation now and let us in Transvaal decide our own fate.

FEB.3, 2007 - The Most Serene Republic of Venice supports President Botha and CONDEMNS the TERRORIST regime of Boer Staat, as well as the invading South African forces.

FEB.3, 2007 STATEMENT FROM CHANG HO, DEMOCRATIC NINARA AMBASSADOR TO TRANSVAAL - The people's government of Democratic Ninara recognises in Staatspresident Botha a sensible and strong leader who respects and honours the people of his country, listens to their voices and has so far demonstrated his commitment to safeguarding their interests. Despite our opposition to Staatspresident Botha's beliefs concerning the construction of an apartheid state, our government endorses Botha's efforts to be reelected and reaffirms its solidarity with Transvaal in the face of the militarist aggression of the racist von Kruger regime in Boer Staat.

FEB.4, 2007 NINARAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY - Ninara is preparing to send troops to South Africa and Transvaal should the aggressive von Kruger regime in Boer Staat launch its racist war against Transvaal. Ninara is prepared to stand by its South African allies and Transvaal to ensure a free and equal southern Africa.

FEB.4, 2007 BOTHA RE-ELECTED AS PRESIDENT - While the civilian polling results in the Transvaal Presidential Election & Apartheid Referendum continued to slowly come in, President Botha secured his presidential re-election bid after votes from the military personal of the Transvaal Defense Force (TDF) were tabulated and announced this morning.

Unlike national referendum which they cannot participate in, TDF personal are able to vote in presidential elections - and their overwhelming show of support for Herr Botha now beyond a doubt guarantees his re-election to the State Presidency.

Over 80% of military votes went towards supporting Botha’s re-election, enough votes to give the President at least 71% of the total ballots cast so far to claim an overall majority. After 1113 military votes and 18 civilian votes cast so far, the incumbent Staatspresident Botha holds a commanding 939 to 192 lead (180 ballots still to be returned) for retaining his presidency against his opponent Albrecht Sharpsville.

There has been no word yet from neither Staatspresident Botha nor his Loyalist Wing of the Nationalvolks Party claiming presidential victory, but a spokesman for the Staatsregeringministrie van Nasionaalverkiesing said that both Boer Staat and South Africa should respect the decision of the Transvaal-Afrikaners and send their troops back home to avoid further bloodshed.

As for the opposing challenger, local police report that Albrecht Sharpsville and most of his Transvaal Volkstaat supporters were seen fleeing across the border for the safety of Boer Staat. Soon after the military ballots had been counted, TDF tanks were seen patrolling the white neighbourhoods of Pretoria and Johannesburg demonstrating a show of support for Botha. While many of the tanks had photographs of Botha taped to them, one of them had a grisy effigy of Sharpsville hanging off its gun-barrel with a placard saying "HANG THE TRAITOR!"

In the separate referendum on apartheid, the NEE-vote [No] has 72% of the 18 referendum ballots cast so far, 13 to 5 against the JA-vote [yes]. For the apartheid motion to pass, 97 votes from civilian ballots are required to secure a guaranteed majority. Voting for both polls with continue until 10:00pm this Friday.

FEB.4, 2007 ON THE TRANSVAAL-BOER STAAT BORDER - By now the shrieking cry of rockets would be heard within the city of Pretoria as the military of Boer Staat, on the border of Transvaal, had begun to rain down a hail of death upon the black districts (as well as the identified white liberal districts) of the capital city with long-range MLRS weapons systems and a number of long-range howitzer batteries. In conjunction with this vicious barrage was the advance of two dozen medium-altitude bombers that were accompanied by two dozen fighters and interceptors, which were intended to counter any moves made against the bombers, and to neutralize any enemy bombers or helicopters that took to the air to oppose the general advance of the 4th armored brigade, which was set to begin just as soon as the preliminary bombardment had come to an end, at which time the batteries would begin a rolling bombardment to advance in front of the advanced-guard which consisted of a mechanized infantry battalion and an armored company, with a recon company in support.

"We're going to liberate Transvaal from the fiend, Botha!" Exclaimed colonel Krupp with a wide smile as he leaned out of the hatch of his command tank which was slowly rumbling forward, crushing some light vegetation in the process, as he turned to grin at a few grenadiers riding on the tank itself so as to provide better anti-infantry capabilities. They were going to be over the border and inside Transvaal within a matter of minutes if not indeed sooner (as in thirty seconds). The liberation campaign had begun!

FEB.4, 2007 STATEMENT FROM BOTHA - ''High Chancellor von Kruger of Boer Staat, what conditions would you require to resolve this crisis which has engulfed our two nations and our one great volk? If I could negociate the withdrawl of ANC forces from Transvaal, would Boer Staat remove its military forces as well?''

FEB.4, 2007 NEWS FROM SOUTH AFRICA - "The racial terror that is being brought down on blacks in the area is unacceptable," noted the SAND commander. "This is merely another indicator of the brutality of the Boer regime that must be stopped."

SAND tanks began to line the border of the Transvaal, preparing to fire into the oncoming hordes, should their commanders choose to advance. The heat was unbearable, but it was hardly noticed: the fate of the country was at stake! Troops guarded the tank advance, and they were a serious lot; all hands were calmly rested on a firearm, and all minds were clearly focused on the present difficulty.

In the distance, the thin cloud of dust from approaching enemy tanks could be seen, but only through binoculars. The Boers were coming, but for many of the South African defenders, they weren't coming fast enough. The men were anxious to face their enemies in what they imagined to be a glorious last conflict -- it would probably be a standoff; still, the earth, unsettled by the rolling tanks, and the persistent sound of boots clashing with the soft grass makes hard images in the minds of men.

FEB.5, 2007 STATEMENT FROM ARSENE WENGER, OPARSENAL - ''The government of OPArsenal stands united behind Staatspresident Botha and similarly behind the idea of the equality of all Muslim men, regardless of race. To Allah, there is no race and we fully support the Staatspresident in any efforts he deems neccessary to ensure the security and safety of his people. Further, we offer a portion of our military and the best that our National Police Force has to offer. Order must be restored and rebellion must be crushed. Peace comes through power, morality through might, stability through strength.''

FEB.5, 2007 STATEMENT FROM CHAIRWOMAN CHIN YU-MEI OF NINARA - ''Ninara is awaiting the word from either the government of South Africa or Transvaal to intervene. We have a fleet positioned in international waters that can deploy a large number of troops and armoured vehicles.''

FEB.6, 2007 EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST - Early this morning, Staatspresident Botha of Transvaal boarded a train to travel to Krugersburg, Boer Staat to meet face-to-face with the High Chancellor Hendrik von Kruger.

FEB.7, 2007 EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST - Staatspresident Botha of Transvaal is still in Boer Staat trying to work out a solution with High Chancellor Hendrik von Kruger in regards to the crisis which has gripped the region.

The Staatsregeringministrie van Buitlandersbeleid [Department of Foreign Affairs] has recalled home its ambassadors to the Republic of Venice and Democratic Ninara.

Unconfirmed reports originating from the diplomatic community in those two nations claim Transvaal embassy staff had been seen feeding shredded documents to bonfires set on embassy grounds and removing state emblems off the embassy building and entrance, give credence to the rumour the withdrawl would be long-term or even permanent.

FEB.7, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - ''The Ministry of Truth in Boer Staat has met with the Foreign Ministry and we have decided that it will be our new policy to support the ascension of Albrecht Sharpsville to the position of Commander in Chief and Prime Minister of Transvaal, while the honorable Mr. Botha shall remain as the state president and retain all former powers that were reserved to his office and position, save for those to be in the hands of General Sharpsville. Before anything is translated into implemented policy in either nation, we shall wait to see the results of the meeting between his Excellency and President Botha. As far as that goes, it is now likely a fitting time to mention that Hendrik von Kruger is to be elevated to the position of Großherzog -Grand Duke- of Boer Staat for the betterment of the nation and the improvement of the plight of the people. This move comes at the unanimous insistence of the Parliament of Boer Staat.''

FEB.7, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM BOTHA TO HENDRIK VON KRUGER - Großherzog Hendrik von Kruger! On behalf of the Transvaal Republiek, we humbly submit to Your Guidance. In recognition of the offense we have caused you recently, I bring this offer of reconciliation:

Our relations with communistic nations has gravely offended you, so I have recalled our ambassadors and diplomatic missions to those particular countries – and we shall request their embassies to leave our nation.

We shall recognise the pre-eminant position of Your Excellency Großherzog as Protector of South Africa. We shall cut all contact with Nelson Mandela of the ANC South Africa regime and have no dealings with the ANC nor any other nation which claims territory within South African borders.

We shall revert back to calling our nation the Transvaal Afrikaner Republiek to re-iterate the leading role of Afrikanervolk in all aspects of Transvaal society to the exlusion of all others.

Albrecht Sharpsville will be welcomed back into the nation and re-instated within the Nationalvolks Party.

We shall re-implement apartheid and pass laws towards the Zulu and all other tribals residing within our borders.

We shall suspend and declare the results of the Apartheid Referendum null-and-void.

Lastly, we agree to the signing of the Kruger Pact, defined as such: “When forces that are hostile to Afrikaner culture try to turn the development of an Afrikaner country away from apartheid, it becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all Afrikaner countries.”

FEB.7, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM NELSON MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - The Republic of South Africa presents you with a warning that any passing of laws attempting to reinstate apartheid will result in the complete reversal of South Africa's policy regarding Transvaal independence.

"Your breaking off diplomatic contact with South Africa is your choice, and it is one that will certainly be regretted by this administration," said President Mandela in a speech this morning, addressed to Botha and his government. "But the reinstatement of apartheid is not your choice and the liberal attitude which has been given this insurrection and separatist movement will not hold if you choose to disregard the moratorium and proceed with policies of racial terror."

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - ''We are elated to hear that our Boer brethren around us are finally coming to their senses and are ready to walk hand-in-hand with their brothers in Boer Staat, rather than trying to waltz around with Hottentots and savage Zulus from the tribes that have been placed around us to serve us. We urge all of the Transvaal government to throw their support behind the agreement as it is currently written. Boer Staat looks forward to the revival of Apartheid in Transvaal as per the terms of the agreement.''

FEB.8, 2007 STATEMENT FROM CHAIRWOMAN CHIN YU-MEI OF NINARA - Our government is extremely disappointed by the actions of the Botha regime. Like our allies in South Africa, Ninara shall be forced to reconsider its recognition of the state of Transvaal should it deny it's people's decision regarding apartheid. The Transvaal people have voted against the apartheid policies, but have chosen to keep Mr. Botha- is he going to betray them now for the sake of appeasing the fascist von Kruger?

We have withdrawn our people from Transvaal, but our fleet remains in international waters for the time being. We hope that Mr. Botha reconsiders his position. While we have no plans for launching any sort of attack on Transvaal for these shameful acts, we may be forced to consider implementing a sea embargo in the near future.

FEB.8, 2007 EXCERPT FROM RADIO-TRANSVAAL BROADCAST - Staatspresident Botha returned to Pretoria this afternoon after two days of meetings with Großherzog von Kruger and Foreign Minister Hasso von Hugel of Boer Staat. Accompanying the Staatspresident on his return was a contingent of Boer Staat special forces to be deployed in and around Pretoria at various government buildings.

Botha immediately re-organised his government by appointing General Albrecht Sharpsville as Prime Minster. Another notable appointment was Riaan van der Byl as Foreign Minister - after the previous Foreign Minister, Pieter Schellenbosch resigned and fled into exile to South Africa, claiming refugee status. There are unconfirmed rumours that two of Transvaal's ambassadors have also claimed asylum in Democratic Ninara and the Republic of Venice.

Since his return by train, Botha has remained under heavy guard at an undisclosed location and yet to make any public announcements or appearances - although it is believed he shall address the nation at some point in the next 6 hours.

In anticipation of aparthied laws taking effect at midnight tonight, signs started appearing at public ammenities as the new reality of Transvaal begun to sink in: "Under Section 37 of the Pretoria Public Toilet Bylaws, these toliets are reserved for the sole use of members of the Afrikaner race - Bylaw enforced by order of Boer Staat"

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - Boer Staat has a 500 mile exclusive economic zone that extends into the Indian Ocean, we also have 250 miles of territorial waters which the naval units of Marshal Ninara are not permitted to enter into. Furthermore we recognize ourselves as providing protection status to any of the waters that are within 500 miles of any inch of land of South Africa. The nation of Marshal Ninara would do well to recognize these realities and to adjust their actions accordingly. It would be a disaster if their navy was given the same treatment that the British navy received at the hands of the mighty Argentine Air Force not too many years ago. It is widely known, air-power trumps naval power, and Boer Staat's Air Force is powerful indeed.

It shall be the policy of Boer Staat to regard any hostile foreign activity in the waters under the security of Boer Staat as an attack upon Boer Staat, requiring a military response against the offending nation. This protection extends to our allies and even to the government of Mandela. We wish no foreign powers to interfere in what are primarily African affairs. We will deal with Mandela in a peaceful manner and best him through the triumph of our ideals, with the pressure his own people will exert upon him when they see how fair and efficient our system is; how prosperous our nation of Yahweh shall be. The children of Jacob, adhering to the Law and the Way, the true children, shall never know anything other than prosperity if their hearts be pure, they be sincere, and they administer the law with justice and mercy.

We wish no malice to the tribals around us, only to the international parasite race of the Jews and to those who would harbor them or bolster them. Those who work with the Jews may be considered as Jews and shall share their fate. However those of the tribal peoples such as the Zulu and Shona, demonstrably inferior as they are, and biblically low as they are clearly are, we shall still strive to be at peace with them for we believe now is the time for peace, and true peacemakers are to be blessed. Africa shall be won over through the strength of our ideal and the model of efficiency we are going to show this impoverished continent.

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM NELSON MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - "I hope it is perfectly clear that territorial waters around South Africa are the responsibility of South Africa, and not the Boer Staat. Also, as of this moment, official support for the promising Transvaal government that has turned into an apartheid regime has ended.

"The area is no longer recognized with any special status and will continue to remain the seat of governance for the Republic of South Africa. Any attempts to practically instate apartheid will be met with resistance, and those who continue to hold the seats of legislators of an imaginary Transvaal nation will be regarded as criminals and duly treated.

"As of this moment, the independent state of the Transvaal no longer exists."

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - In response to the declaration of Mandela and his kaffir cabal in regards to their intention to annex Transvaal, and their utter disregard for our offer of friendship, we hereby make it known that we regard South Africa, under Mandela, to be a province of Boer Staat, a province that is in complete and total rebellion. We fully intend to crush this rebellion and bring them back into line as the proper province they should be. The savage shall be crushed down under the civilizing heel of the white man. Though think not that we shall be cruel and callous. Once the cabal is out of power, we shall treat the people with a gentle yet firm hand.

Before the month is out the whole of southern Africa will be under the domination of the Boer and the Afrikaner and the other whites who have found their way into this promised land. That is the solemn pledge we make to the peoples of the world, on this day!

Indeed Mandela and his terrorist rebel government have exactly thirty-six hours to resign and surrender themselves to the authorities of Boer Staat, or their rebellious province will be laid waste by the legions of Boer warriors who will be advancing into the very lair or the beast.

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM BOTHA - Transvaal has no qualms with the Jewish people nor Israel due to the fact that they supplied us with nuclear weapons and technology during the 1980s. Therefore Transvaal would be open to taking in and thus relieving Boer Staat of the Jewish population residing there.

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM NELSON MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - The Republic of South Africa would also, regarding the offer of "friendship," be willing to respond by taking in those who are oppressed, including as many Jews as wish to evacuate from Boer Staat. In this way, perhaps a compromise and a continued step in diplomatic relations can be made.

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM GROßHERZOG HENDRIK VON KRUGER OF BOER STAAT - Boer Staat will evacuate no Jews as we believe relocation to be a flawed and muddled concept when it comes to dealing with the Jewish parasite race. Boer Staat's government, after careful review of the Scriptures of Yahweh and the Gospel of Yahshua-Bin-Messiah, has concluded that the only acceptable policy towards Jews is to put as many of them to the edge of the sword as one can get hold of at any given time. According to Obadiah 18 they are all going to leave this world by fire, and we of Jacob Israel are to be the mechanism by which this happens. We in Boer Staat wish to begin this in our lands immediately.

We have no quarrel with the quaint tribal who knows nothing but his savage ways and can be taught somewhat better. But for the culture destroying Jews, the seed of Satan alive in this world, the enmity between the serpent’s seed through Cain and the seed of Eve through Abel and Set, there can be no mercy for that parasite race.

They destroyed southern Africa by working against the very people their own government worked with. Our allies failed to realize the Israelis worked with even the Iranians and Iraqis, they work with anybody they can profit from temporarily. You cannot bite the shark greater than it can bite you. You cannot out-Jew the Jew, with Jews you lose, but not so in Boer Staat any longer, where the status of Jew is now a capital offense. I alone bear all responsibility for this, and all of the soldiers and police of Boer Staat are relieved of any burden that may come with having to adhere to their orders and do their Godly duty against the serpent race.

FEB.8, 2007 - STATEMENT FROM DR. WOUTER HESSE OF BOER STAAT - As Minister of Truth Dr. Wouter Hesse was speaking before a crowd gathered at the city center, the cameras were rolling.

"We had always warned those parasites, those rats, that one day our patience would wear thin... I said it once many years ago, our patience was going to wear thin and we were going to put a stop to the shameless lies of the Jews! Now that time has come!" Hesse exclaimed with a jubilant smile across his face.

"I told them, we have given them chance after chance, and ample warning after ample warning... Now the insidious jew, the perpetual shape-shifter, seeks to unleash the plague of Asiatic communism upon us! They will loose their minions on our land, minions who will ravage all of the women and enslave all of your children!" The learned doctor guaranteed as a chill of horror swept across the crowd, women tugging their long dresses down even further as children gasped.

"But it doesn't have to be that way... It won't be that way, for their day has come, the rats are on the way out... They came in here as rats, they have lived as rats, and they shall perish as rats! Burn them out, leave none alive! To arms, brothers! To arms! Purge the Jewish plague once and for all... For the Boer nation, for the Boer people, for Almighty Yahweh! It's us or them! It's not going to be us! Kill them, kill them all!" Hesse thundered as he fired a pistol into the air to capitalize on the wave of rage that was now cascading throughout the crowd as nearby police officers were handing out automatic rifles, knives, and pistols to any white male who seemed eager to get one.

"They're penned up in their synagogues, the synagogues of satan! Go! Leave none alive! Death to the edomites!" The cabinet minister finally barked as he saluted a larger than life poster of von Kruger, one that was situated on the side of a large apartment complex, one of the few reminders of who the leader was, in the city otherwise void of anything considered "idolatry" but this was Staatsburg and a few reminders were needed.

The onrushing wave of vicious rage spilled forth from the center of the city, just as Hesse had commanded, obviously intent on falling upon the Jewish district of Staatsburg.

FEB.8, 2007 FROM INSIDE SOUTH AFRICA - Late this afternoon, Dr. Zuma, South African Foreign Affairs Minister, has suggested the immediate deployment of troops into Pretoria, as well as to the border of Namibia, in order to impose and "impress, with military might, the understanding upon Boer Staat that its hitlarian policies of anti-semitism will not be tolerated in a region already touched by the saving grace of multiracial democracy."

President Mandela has ordered the dispatch of South African troops to Pretoria, where they will rendezvous at Waterkloof Ridge, in preparation for temporary encampment in the capital area. "The ethnic hatred emerging in Boer Staat is mounting to an unprecedented level. The safest way to exert pressure on such a monstrously hateful dictatorical regime is to exert pressure on its closest ally."

TDF Military Junta & Klingen Protectorate
FEB.8-9, 2007 MILITARY COUP IN TRANSVAAL; SHARPSVILLE KILLED - Albrecht Sharpsville, the famed Rhodesian mercenary and close friend of Dr. Hendrik von Kruger who was named Prime Minister of Transvaal yesterday, has been killed during a military coup against him.

Transvaal Defense Force troops, lead by Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen, launched a midnight operation against Transvaal government buildings in Pretoria and arrested the Prime Minister while working late-night at his office.

Sharpsville was chained feet-first and face-down to a TDF tank and then dragged all the way to Soweto Township, at some point succumbing from his injuries. The Prime Minister’s lifeless corpse was then strung up on a lamppost with the placard: “Ons bring julle die gesig van apartheid” [We bring you the face of apartheid].

Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen then declared the Kruger Pact null-and-void, denounced apartheid, and re-asserted full Transvaal independence. “Ons sal ons verset Boerestaat en Suid-Afrika teen as ons moet !” croaked the gravely-voiced Cruywagen - “''We shall resist Boer Staat and South Africa if we must! The policies of Mr. Hendrik von Kruger are illogical and madness! He will only bring further ruin and disgrace for our Afrikaner people… Von Kruger likes to fashion himself as some sort of Hitlerist messiah - when in reality he is a buffoon much like Idi Amin''”

WHEREABOUTS OF BOTHA UNKNOWN - The present location of Botha is presently unknown, although General Cruywagen confirmed that he gave the Staatspresident prior knowledge of the coup and hinted that Botha “may now be in hiding somewhere inside South Africa”, trying to arrange a rendez-vous with the exiled foreign minister Pieter Stellenbosch.

“My junta is in support of our rightful Staatspresident,” said the General.

“''Botha may not be perfect but he has always had the Transvaal-Afrikaanse at heart. If Boer Staat or the ANC wish to impose their tyranny over us, well then let them make the first move and declare war on us. However while strained, our dealings with the ANC regieme at least built a measure of workable peace for the region. We may not have liked each other, but were willing to let the other be. However Staatspresident Botha tried to deal with the Von Kruger regieme but got burnt by the Devil''"

FEB.8, 2007 STATEMENT FROM MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - Upon hearing this news, President Mandela has issued a formal written statement to members of the current administration, as well as to the military junta which is attempting to shake the foundations of Trasnvaal. Mr. Mandela also made his position clear to the press in an interview:

"Let it be known that we do not seek out President Botha to do him harm; he is welcome in South Africa and will be granted asylum should he make himself public at any point," Mandela said. "We value Mr. Botha highly as a key to peace. My administration will ensure that he is protected and that no physical harm will come to him, and our soldiers and police will work with his security personnel to ensure this -- that is, if they would be willing to work alongside Africans," he joked to the crowd of reporters, which now broke into laughter.

"I ask the international community and the South African press to remember that our aim is to restrain violence and ensure equality. We believe that President Botha is central to this vision and we will protect him, his allies, and all those who seek peace and harmony. It is in these interests that a peacekeeping force has been sent to Pretoria, but fear not, for no harm will be done and no shots will be fired -- we will extricate those who wish to be evacuated and assess the situation.

"The Transvaal has nothing to fear (why would we fire shots in our own capital?), but Boer Staat has much to fear. With plans to deploy South African troops to the border of Namibia and other border territories, the pressure is high on Herr Kruger to act in the interests of all his people, regardless of race, and to abandon policies that aim at the extermination of an entire people."

FEB.9, 2007 EXCERPT FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL PAUL CRUYWAGEN, LEADER OF T.D.F. JUNTA - "The military junta wishes to see a peaceful resolution and an end to this agonising crisis which has gripped my nation; however we shall fight if need be."

"We appreciate Mr. Mandela for welcoming Our Staatspresident and granting him safety from this conflict. It pains me to think of him unable to remain here with us in Transvaal under present existing circumstances, but I deemed it imperative that he seek sanctuary in South Africa from the rising political tensions in Pretoria."

"To show our gratitute, we have adopted the South African six-coloured flag as our own"

"Transvaal shall prevail!"

FEB.9, 2007 RADIO BROADCAST BY BOTHA SPEAKING FROM INSIDE SOUTH AFRICA - This is Staatspresident Botha speaking from South Africa...

''At midnight, the Transvaal Defense Force launched a military coup against a government which they viewed as illegal and imposed by external forces. Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen urged me to make my way to safety in South Africa as the situation in Pretoria was becoming tense. As a ruse, before I left I signed an order to start posting apartheid signage in Pretoria.''

''Prime Minister Albrecht Sharpsville died during the coup - shot three times by TDF troops while resisting his arrest. I have named Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen the new Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, and his junta has been sworn in by me as the de facto government of Transvaal during my absense.''

''The twenty Boer Staat Secret Service agents which accompanied me on my return from my visit with Dr. von Kruger were arrested and disarmed with no incident. They were later turned over to third-party diplomatic channels for repatriation to Boer Staat; I have been told that three have since opted to defect from Boer Staat - fearing for their lives should they return.''

''I have met with Pieter Stellenbosch and he has been re-instated to his post as Foreign Minister. His first task will be to re-establish our recently-vacated embassies.''

''For two days while in Boer Staat, I was haranged and physically threatened by an unstable Dr. von Kruger and forced to sign decrees which I opposed and which blatently violated Transvaal independence. In short time, we would have been made a satellite puppet state of Boer Staat.''

''I saw first-hand the day-to-day reality within the Boer Staat Republic is grave, to say the least. One can only hope that cooler, pragmatic minds such as Dr. Hasso von Hugel can prevail and fix the shadow of madness which is decending across Southern Africa.''

Lastly, I thank Mr. Mandela for providing a safe haven for myself and my family.

FEB.9, 2007 ASSORTED NEWS EXCERPTS FROM SOUTH AFRICA - According to recent reports, 5,000 members of the South African National Defense (SAND) have arrived in Pretoria and have already started to set up checkpoints within the city, and its commander has made contact with the Transvaal Defense Force (TDF), in the hopes that coordinated action can further help maintain stability.

As national troops dashed across the city last night, setting up strategic observation posts in all corners of the capital, they accomplished their goal safely and without firing a shot.

South Africa is once again united.

Meanwhile, SAND forces prepare an offensive into Keetmanshoop, Gibeon, Mariental, and Kalkrand, the central cities of Namibia which have been considered to be posing the largest threat to border security, if they were defended or reinforced by troops from the Boer Staat.

Lieutenant-Colonel Issahaye Jinjuku, leader of the Namibian expedition, discusses the matter with his fellow officers. . ..

"Sir, we are faced with a serious problem," said an anxious young officer at the meeting. "If we attempt to secure the four cities in Namibia, thus making a considerable inroad into Boer Staat territory, it'll require a commitment much larger than we are prepared to deal with, should our enemies decide to attack us."

"We are counting on Ninaran support in this mission; perhaps we can count on them in Mozambique or Botswana; we must not forget," emphasized Jinjuku, "that the TDF should be incorporated into this effort -- they are central to helping us secure the region."

Also, according to an order from Mandela (upon advisement from senior military advisors),

"A commitment of a brigade, alongside a tank platoon and a heavy weapons platoon, is required immediately for deployment to the cities of Namibia. An aerial assault is also being considered, and a squad of bombers and fighters will be deployed."

FEB.9, 2007 NEWS EXCERPT FROM DEMOCRATIC NINARA - Ninaran ships have arrived in South African ports. Troops from our republic are now joining South African troops for joint exercises. The Ninaran and South African militaries are preparing to conduct join exercises in a new coalition camp near the Namibian border.

FEB.9, 2007 PEACEKEEPERS GOING TO TRANSVAAL - Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen announced today that the Transvaal Defense Force junta has invited peacekeepers from the Nordreich nation of Klingen to establish a temporary protectorate over the nation to help defuse and stabilise the political crisis which has taken hold over Southern Africa. The peacekeeping measures have been approved by Staatspresident Botha and his Transvaal Republiek Government-in-Exile as sovereignty of the nation will come under temporary jurisdiction of the Klingen government. The peacekeepers will be based in the Transvaal Republiek between February 19 and March 6 - and during that time Transvaal will become an autonomous province of Klingen.

FEB.9, 2007 STATEMENT FROM DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - We wish to make a last-moment appeal to peace and reason. My Monarch wishes it to be known that he sincerely desires peace but he will not stand to see Namibia threatened or Transvaal coerced into the ANC bloc. We have no designs per se against the Mandela government but we are genuinely disturbed by many of their policies and their vehement opposition to our internal affairs. Before this situation spirals into a nuclear nightmare, I propose that we all meet at a country retreat near Krugersburg and discuss the problems that are plauging our respective nations.

If Mr. Mandela and Mr. Botha are willing to enter into Boer Staat, we will give them our guarantee of diplomatic immunity and safety from all threats that might originate within Boer Staat from any pressure groups or citizens' bands. The safety of those we seek to cooperate with, would be of the utmost concern.

FEB.9, 2007 STATEMENT FROM BOTHA ADDRESSED TO DR. HASSO VON HUGEL OF BOER STAAT - Doctor Hasso von Hugel, after my previous "warm reception", please excuse me for not being too eager to return to Boer Staat any time soon.

Transvaal Republiek diplomats would only agree to meet with yourself or Boervolk representitives at a neutral third-party location outside of Southern Africa.

FEB.10, 2007 STATEMENT FROM MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - Any location in South Africa outside the Transvaal would be suitable for me, or a neutral, third-party location, as suggested by President Botha.

FEB.10, 2007 STATEMENT FROM CHAIRWOMAN CHIN YU-MEI OF DEMOCRATIC NINARA - With the Ninaran military's presense, my country's interests are now involved in the southern African dilemma. We would like to know if we shall be represented at these discussions.

FEB.11, 2007 JOINT-STATEMENT FROM STAATSPRESIDENT BOTHA & BRIGADIER-GENERAL PAUL CRUYWAGEN - The Transvaal Republiek (as represented by the military junta and the government-in-exile) would like to re-establish diplomatic relations with Democratic Ninara.

FEB.11, 2007 STATEMENT FROM CHAIRWOMAN CHIN YU-MEI OF DEMOCRATIC NINARA - Our country remains insulted by the Transvaal Republiek government's expulsion of our ambassador in Pretoria, but since we now have commitments in southern Africa, we shall put this aside. We have decided to approve an embassy for Transvaal on Sanmen Rd. in a complex together with the Kashlinkovi Consulate. This complex is defended by Ninaran troops, and the embassy is expected to provide troops to defend its own grounds. Due to strong anti-Nordreich sentiments that exist in Ninara, we cannot guarantee the safety of your staff should they leave the complex, so it is suggested that they be advised to remain inside the complex.

FEB.12, 2007 REPLY FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL PAUL CRUYWAGEN TO CHAIRWOMAN CHIN YU-MEI- "That is understandable - the expulsion was the result of some necessary ideological back-pedaling due to the Kruger Pact just prior to the military coup."

"It is my understanding that those embassy staff, such as our ambassador, who took asylum in Democratic Ninara shall be reinstated. Hopefully they will be able to work towards allieviate any anti-Nordreich sensibilities they may encounter."

FEB.12, 2007 EXCERPT FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL PAUL CRUYWAGEN, LEADER OF T.D.F. JUNTA - All three South African nations involved in the conflict have previously stated that the dispute is a regional crisis and should if possible be solved by them without outside influence.

But as we can all see, the crisis has now expanded beyond the borders of South Africa. We've seen Ninara and Japanese warships recently patroling the region and Transvaal itself will soon come under a temporary protectorate status of a third-party power (Klingen).

While I obviously cannot speak for Boer Staat or South Africa, the Transvall junta leadership would not oppose any Ninara representation if that was agreeable to both Boer Staat and South Africa as well.

FEB.12, 2007 STATEMENT FROM MANDELA OF SOUTH AFRICA - It is certainly most agreeable to South Africa, as we consider Ninaran involvement a crucial aid in stabilization.

FEB.12, 2007 STATEMENT FROM MOST SERENE REPUBLIC OF VENICE - Your Excellency, President Botha of the Republic of Transvaal:

We have heard about the most dreadful problems that your country is facing, not too long ago we were facing a similar situation with one of our own neighbours.

The Most Serene Republic understands that this situation can only be solved by diplomacy, since violence will only bring upon more violence.

It is this horrible image that drove me to write this letter as a last act of the cabinet Fiorentino, together with my succesor and winner of the Parlementary Elections, Romano Prodi.

On behalf of the former cabinet Fiorentino, which will be disbanded immediatly after this writing, and the new cabinet Prodi, do I wish to invite the belligerent parties for a summit in Villa Foscari (more commonly known as the villa Malcontenta), just outside the village of Malcontenta, in the Veneto region.

Here all South African delegations and of course the Ninaran delegation can gather here to find a peaceful solution for this terrible situation.

Our government will take care of the surrounding perimetres and ensure your safety.

I would like to ask the belligerent nations to approve of a date in which to arrive for the summit in Venice, so we can prepare the area for your stay.

''I would like to end this letter with a personal farewell to the grand statesmen in the Republic of Transvaal and the Republic of South Africa, it is also because of your immense effort that our small Republic has become a well-known nation throughout the world, and I most sincerely hope that we can keep up this level of communication and mutual friendship with the governments of the future. Now with the last stroke of the pen will the cabinet Fiorentino be dissolved and a new government will take it's place.''

Cordially,

Martino Fiorentino - Former Prime Minister of the Most Serene Republic of Venice

Romano Prodi - Prime Minister of the Most Serene Republic of Venice

FEB.12, 2007 JOINT-STATEMENT FROM STAATSPRESIDENT BOTHA & BRIGADIER-GENERAL PAUL CRUYWAGEN - The Transvaal Republiek (as represented by the military junta and the government-in-exile) would agree to the Most Serene Republic of Venice hosting peace talks. [signed] Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen, on behalf of the TDF military junta and Staatspresident Botha, on behalf Transvaal Republiek Government-in-Exile

FEB.17, 2007 KLINGEN PROTECTORATE OF TRANSVAAL - Klingen peacekeepers began arriving today in Transvaal in preparation for the temporary sovereignty hand-over on February 19. The peacekeepers will be based in the Transvaal Republic until March 12 - and during that time Transvaal will become an autonomous protectorate province of Klingen.

Duirng the period of the Klingen Protectorate, His Excellency Staatspresident Botha of Transvaal will be overseas on a tour of Florida, Mexico, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, and Haïti.

As Protector-General of Transvaal, Jake Felan of Klingen has received full authorization by the TDF Military Junta and Transvaal Government-in-Exile to maintain military and economic order in Transvaal. The military junta will end on March 12 when the Government of Transvaal returns home to its capital in Pretoria and the protectorate comes to an end.

Second Republic
MAR.12, 2007 - PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL: In preparation for the handover of power back to the Transvaal Republiek Staatsregering [government], peacekeepers from Klingen began leaving Pretoria and Johannesburg this afternoon.

Residents lined the streets as well-wishers threw tulip bouquets and saw off the popular Klingen military contigent. During their stay, the Klingen military had brought a much-needed sense of peace and stability to the people of Transvaal after the month of discord originating from the aborted election and regional crisis with Boer Staat and South Africa.

Termination of the Transvaal Protektoraat, which had been established to govern the Transvaal Republiek during the exile and absense of Staatspresident Botha, had been delayed by one week after Botha and Mrs. Botha returned home from their recent vacation to find their Presidential Palace flooded from a gaping hole in the ceiling. After declaring the Presidential Palace un-liveable, Mr & Mrs Botha were then put up for three days at the Days Inn of Thors Keep in Klingen while necessary repairs were made.

Staatspresident Botha is expected to announce the formation and political direction of his new reconstructed government in the coming days.

It is believed that Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen, former leader of the Transvaal Defense Force military junta, will be retained as commander-in-chief of the military. It is anticipated that either the centre-leftist Pieter Stellenbosch, the former foreign minister, or the rightist, economic brainchild Riaan van der Byl will be named to the post of Eertseminister [prime minister].

In related events, the enclave of Walvis Bay in Namibia was formally acquired and annexed by Transvaal as a location for their new deep-water harbour.

MAR.13, 2007 - Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen, Commander-in-Chief of the Transvaal Krygsmagte (Transvaal Armed Forces, formerly known as the Transvaal Defense Force) announced this morning the creation of the new Transvaal Lugmag [air force]; four P-51 Mustang fighters were purchased to equip the new airforce.

MAR.16, 2007 - NEW GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED: Staatspresident Botha has named Riaan van der Byl to the post of Eertseminister (Prime Minister) of Transvaal.

Van der Byl first gained national prominence during the Boer Staat crisis as a member of the Transvaal Volkstaat faction, serving briefly as the pro-Boer Staat foreign minister. Later he assisted in the economic reconstruction of the nation working with Klingen advisors during the protektoraat.

Eersteminister van der Byl said he will announce the name of the new foreign minister as well as the re-appointed ambassadors to the Republic of Venice and Kashlinkov in the next few days. The Eersteminister would also like to expand the number of Transvaal ambassadors from the current two. The former embassy with Democratic Ninara was closed when that nation unexpectantly fell out of existance.

The appointment of the unapologetically right-wing van der Byl is seen as a direct political counterweight to the appointment of Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen as Commander-in-Chief.

Where Cruywagen viewed as a progressive moderate dull and devoid of personality, van der Byl likes to live his life in the fast lane and is often seen driving his Ferrari sportscar around the Pretoria whilst sporting his trademark dark-sunglasses.

MAR.16, 2007 - NEW LAWS ANNOUNCED Eersteminster Riaan van der Byl immediately announced the following three new laws:

Transvaal Citizenship Act - Transvaal being an Afrikaner homeland, only Afrikaners and English may become citizens of Transvaal. All other residents are deemed citizens of South Africa and thus restricted and prohibited from participating in Transvaal politics.

Equal Amenities Act - This law protects the rights of all races in Transvaal to function in the national economy and prohibits racial segregation in the daily life of the nation.

Supression of Communism Act - This law bans the communist party as well as any other party the government chose to label as 'communist'. It makes membership in a communist party punishable by up to 10 years' imprisonment.

MAR.17, 2007 TRASNVAAL AT WAR WITH INCOM TERRORISTS: An hour after midnight, the Transvaal Republic declared war on rogueleadzer0 of Incom due to Nordreich alliance commitments - with Staatspresident Botha enacting the new Suppression of Communism Act in response to the anarcho-communist terrorist threat of the Libertarian Socialist Federation.

Two Transvaal V2 Springbok missiles were launched to weaken the Incom terrorist infrastructure, followed by two TLM (airforce) bombing runs with the 3 new AH-64 Apache helicopters on the terrorist capital of Rogue. One aircraft was shot down during the attacks.

Incom terrorist forces then counter-attacked by launching 2 cruise missiles at Transvaal cities - with extensive damage taken after one missile detonated in downtown Pretoria. Johannesburg came under attack of the second missile but escaped the level of damage seen in Pretoria.

Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen ordered the Transvaal Armed Forces to strike back aggressively at Incom terrorist positions. Despite facing disadvantageous odds, the TAF forces held firm and were decisively victorious in their opening attack. The TAF lost 111 valiant soldiers and 9 tanks but in the process 444 of the Incom terrorists and 29 tanks were exterminated. The victory – dubbed the Saint Patrick’s Day massacre - by far surpassed the greatest total of damage done in a single attack in the 49 battles in which TAF troops have participated.

MAR.17, 2007 - OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT STATEMENT FROM TRANSVAAL REPUBLIEK: Apart from restrictions limiting citizenship and political franchise to Anglo-Afrikaners, there is otherwise for all intents and purposes no apartheid in Transvaal. We do not have racial segregation laws nor maintain separate public amenities - and all races are free to live and interact as they see fit.

[signed] Staatspresident Botha [president]; Eersteminister Riaan van der Byl [prime minister]; Buitlandersbeleidminister Ms. Annetjie van Matteus [foreign minister]; Brigadier-General Paul Cruywagen [TAF Commander-in-Chief]; Flight Commander Rik Jansens [TAF Air Force Commander]''

Second Maroon War
MARCH 17, 2007 

Under anti-communist mobilisation orders from Nordreich, Transvaal declared war on Incom (LSF) by launching cruise missiles and bomber strikes prior to invasion.

Incom retaliated with cruise missile strikes before Transvaal ground troops struck at Incom positions in the First Battle of Incom. Transvaal is victorious as Incom suffers 444 casulties to 111 in the St. Patrick's Day War massacre.

MARCH 18, 2007 

Transvaal launches second round of cruise missile and bomber strikes against Incom.

MARCH 19, 2007 

Transvaal launches third round of cruise missile attacks against Incom before suddenly finding itself facing a full-out invasion (Operation "Lenin's Beard") by three communist nations.

Anti-apartheid forces lead by Procinctia (LSF) declared war on Transvaal. Procinctia launches 2 bomber attacks; Pretoria is devestated during the first wave and and Johannesburg suffers moderate damage during the second wave of bomber attacks.

First Battle of Procinctia results in Transvaal victory; casulties are 210 Procinctia dead and 424 Transvaal dead.

Socialist Workers Front operatives from Badekar (SWF) then declared war on Transvaal but the TAF re-groups and launches pre-emptive strike on Badekar in the First Battle of Badekar; Casulties are 1268 Badekar dead and 593 Transvaal dead.

Still engaged with Procinctia, the TAF orders a counter-attack resulting in 43 Procinctia casulties and 149 dead for Transvaal.

Badekar launches 2 cruise missiles; both Pretoria and Johannesburg suffer considerable damage. Badekar follows up with 2 bomber attacks but damage is negligible.

Second Battle of Badekar results in a blood-drenched victory for Transvaal with considerable ground damage. Badekar suffers 154 casulties while Transvaal has 346 dead.

Dessia (SWF) then enters the conflict and declares war on Transvaal in defense of the LSF. The First Battle of Dessia ends in Transvaal victory although Transvaal takes heavier losses, 115 Badekar dead to 403 for Transvaal. During the battle, Dessia launches 2 cruise missile and does considerable damage.

The Second Battle of Dessia ends in another bloodied Transvaal victory; Casulties are 89 dead for Badekar and 254 dead for Transvaal.

Transvaal is victorious in Third Battle of Procinctia with 66 Procinctia casulties and 24 dead for Transvaal.

Procinctia launches 2 cruise missiles a couple of hours before a ceasefire is declared.

MARCH 20, 2007

Peace treaty signed with Procinctia and Badekar after the LSF and SWF surrender to Nordreich.

MARCH 21, 2007

Peace treaties signed with Dessia and Incom. Transvaal involvement in the Second Maroon War comes to a conclusion.

Great War III
MARCH 24, 2007

After the Socialist Workers Front declared war on Nordreich, Transvaal declared war and launched pre-emptive strikes against dreamwhite land (SWF), Lost City (NAAC), and Tudelia (SWF). A few hours later, Askarion (SWF) launched attacks on Transvaal.

MARCH 25, 2007

Xandoria (SWF) and Maoist Nepal (SWF) attacked Transvaal.

MARCH 27, 2007

CODE NAME: “OPERASIE ROOIBOK” – OPERATION IMPALA

After three days of resisting fierce ground attacks and aerial bombardment from Askarion, the Transvaal Krygsmagte launched Operation Impala one hour after midnight, on Transvaal’s three-month anniversary, as a major offensive counter-strike against their toughest communist target so far in the war.

The overwhelming success of the operation was un-stoppable, as the remainder of Tranvsaal’s communist enemies soon felt the bloodied hammer of Nordreich. The victory from Operasie Rooibok resulted in the liberation of a huge area of territory, encompassing the area between Pietersburg in the north and Kroonstad in the south. The Botswana and Swazi borders marked the east-west expanse of liberated territory now under Transvaal Republiek control.

APRIL 15, 2007

FROM RUIN TO RICHES – TRANSVAAL EMERGES FROM GREAT WAR III (SPEECH BY BOTHA)

For much of Transvaal’s short history, our nation has been embroiled in wars and regional conflicts which have stunted growth and prosperity.

Two days after unilateral independence from South Africa was declared, the new-born country was already in anarchy from involvement in the Oil War. A native rebellion soon broke out which took one month to crush. Less than two weeks after our victory in the Oil War versus J Alliance rabble, Great War II started.

Even before Great War II wound down, the referendum crises broke out when Transvaal found itself the ideological battleground between its two most powerful neighbours, Boer Staat and South Africa.

The South African regional conflict, which involved some notable third-party nations, dragged on for almost three-weeks as a military junta ultimately descended on the nation. Our Staatspresident was forced into exile for fear of his life as chaos gripped the nation.

To dig its way out of spiraling political doom and our future looking grim, Transvaal was placed under the protectorate status of the great nation of Klingen. The Protektoraat lasted for four weeks, as Transvaal was economically and politically rebuilt. The people of Transvaal are eternally grateful to the Klingen people and their great leader, Jake Felan, for bringing internal peace and prosperity back to our nation.

Five days after the second Transvaal Republic was established, the Second Maroon War broke out as the Afrikaner homeland now faced a full-out communist invasion. In a few weeks, the Second Maroon War had evolved into Great War III.

As much of the world celebrates peace, our nation remains at war for the moment as the glorious Transvaal Armed Forces continues to fight pockets of stubborn resistance.

But there is hope on the horizon for Transvaal as these last vestiges of communist and so-called “anti-apartheid” banditry and NAAC activity are eliminated from our volkstaat. Entering Great War III battered and bruised from our first encounter with the fiendish communist hordes, our nation now greets peace more confident and economically powerful than ever. While across the border our former colonial master South Africa faces a bankrupt and broken future, Transvaal has seen solid and consistent technological and economic growth hand-in-hand with Nordreich.

Our enemies desperately lash out at us, blindly calling us “racists” without understanding the complex situation of the region – yet they overlook the fact that our non-Anglo-Afrikaner population has a higher quality of lifestyle than is found in the rest of Africa. One result of our victory in Great War III is the establishment of two African ‘national reserves’ from excess territory acquired during the war which has been put aside for the development and well-being of our non-Anglo-Afrikaner residents.

Later this week we shall be hosting the first-ever sports tournament held by Nordreich – a great honour for our young and hopeful nation.

Our enemies have been crushed, the communist threat has been crushed, and soon too the despotic ANC threat will be just a memory as Nelson Mandela’s basket-case regime is read its last rites

We are now entering our golden era of prosperity. Hail Botha! Hail Transvaal! Hail Nordrech!

Anti-ANC Campaign
On April 14, 2007 Gaelic Empire and Krionia declared war on Nelson Mandela of South Africa.

Unable to become directly involved with its military, Transvaal sent $100,000 in financial aid the following morning in support of their anti-ANC war; Transvaal then announced it was breaking off all de facto diplomatic relations and recognition of the ANC regieme.

On April 20, 2007 at 12:16am local time, Botha was notified that South Africa's last remaining infrastructure and resistance had been destroyed. Soon afterwards, Botha announced victory in the anti-ANC campaign even though South Africa still remained engulfed in war.

On April 22, 2007 South Africa was destroyed and Nelson Mandela fled into exile in Western Sahara.

STAGE 1: Anti-ANC troops air-lifted to bases in Transvaal.

STAGE2: land and air strikes launched against Mandela's base of support.

Southern Front Campaign
MAY 11-12, 2007 - Engaged in police action against surrender term violators, Transvaal military forces advanced 41 miles in the last 24 hours of operations to reach the suburbs of Bloemfontien - one of the major cities of South Africa.

Other major towns nearing liberation from anti-Initiative guerillas and other anti-state forces are Kimberley to the northwest and Maseru in the Sotho territories.

Also involved in the Southern Front campaign are troops deployed from the Republic of Roma (NoV) and Frenum (NPO).

Hiding out and directing anti-Initiative activities in the region, Salaam, 2 + 2, and talleyland suffered major casulties as 192 units of enemy infrastructure was destroyed and 21 units of technology were liberated by soldiers of the Transvaal Krygsmagte. Over R$ 100,000 rand in funds were seized by police from terrorist bases and safehouses.

Apart from expected frontline casualties, Transvaal has suffered only minor damage as a result of the heavy fighting, namely from 2 poorly-aimed missile attacks.

Transvaal Defense Shield
The Transvaal Defense Shield is awarded to those national leaders who contribute to the defense, safety, and well-being of Transvaal during times of war and national strife.

Receipiants of the Transvaal Defense Shield are deemed honorary Regimental Colonels in the Transvaal Army.

The shield design commemorates the laagar tactics (defensive circle of ox-carts) used during the Slag van Bloedrivier (Battle of Blood River, Dec.16, 1838) when 470 voortrekkers repulsed between 10000 and 20000 Zulu until relief arrived.

The following individuals have been named receipiants of the Transvaal Defense Shield by Staatspresident Botha and the Government of the Transvaal Republic:

comi3k of Dobrogea

The cardinal of Khortoza

Wheedle of Totenstadt

Hendrik von Kruger of Boer Staat

Jake Felan of Klingen
