Democratic People's Republic of Livonia Country Profile The present borders of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia were established during the turmoil of the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s. The former Soviet Republic of Livonia declared its independence on August 26th, 1991. However, while the majority of the population was in favor of independence (72% pro-independence), a sizable portion of the region centered around Kaliningrad opposed it. This included the Soviet 11th Guards Army stationed in Kaliningrad, who proceeded to declare their loyalty to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, then still part of the USSR. While no shots were fired, roughly 1/4th of the region split off from the newly declared Republic of Livonia 5 days after the declaration of independence. With the fall of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic four months later, the breakaway region found themselves loyal to a state that no longer existed. Now the provisional government did declare its independence, this time from the Republic of Livonia, while claiming to be the successor state to the USSR. An authoritarian regime led by Nikolay Dragomirov was soon "elected" (independent observers found widespread incidents of voter fraud), which remains in power to this day. Photo of DPRL military on parade in 2017 with one of the ballistic missiles The international community does not recognize its self-declared statehood or the de-facto government, which remains in a stand-off with the Republic of Livonia. However, due to the nuclear stockpile that was seized from the former Soviet garrison in Kaliningrad, the state's borders and leadership have remained unchanged since 1991. There is a significant sanctions regime in place against the DPRL by Western countries, particularly after the 1998 underground nuclear test. That test was even enough to fray the DPRL's relations with the Russian Federation, which has since limited their political, economic, and military support for the regime, although they have not severed ties completely. It is estimated that the rogue quasi-state has between 40-70 tactical nuclear weapons and approximately 20 strategic nuclear weapons. And while the leader of this hermit kingdom has held on to power successfully and created a cult of personality around himself, his lack of an obvious successor and growing age has left many to wonder what comes next for the DPRL after he's gone?

South Livonian Dictator Dies in Helicopter Crash In a sudden turn of events, the long-standing dictator of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, Nikolay Dragomirov, was announced to have died in a helicopter crash thirteen miles East of Kaliningrad. After a day of complete communication blackout from the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia, all radio and television services were restored and began broadcasting a looped message from the Supreme Council of Livonia, the legislative body of the rogue state. In the message, they stated that "the country's beloved leader has tragically passed away in a helicopter accident". The message proceeded to state that the cause of the crash was still being investigated, and that "if any outside involvement in this appalling incident, there will be extreme consequences". Western analysts believe this is a thinly veiled threat to the quasi-state's nuclear arsenal. Photo released by DPRL media claiming to be the crash site While details are scarce regarding the crash, several of those who follow the DPRL professionally have pointed out that while Nikolay Dragomirov was often promoting a rabid anti-Western and capitalist stance, he often flew in a Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin, which had originally been sold to the quasi-state for search and rescue purposes. Given the recent tightening of sanctions against the DPRL two years ago, DPRL analyst Marius Tadesautis based in the ROL suspects it has likely become more difficult to procure spare parts for the helicopter. Whether this led to the crash remains unknown. "But what I do know," Marius said, "is that things will get very interesting along the Livonian DMZ. I just hope cooler heads prevail".

South Livonia Attacks North, Hundreds Feared Dead The silence of the early morning hours along the Livonia DMZ was shattered by a series of artillery barrages and airstrikes as South Livonian forces launched a sudden attack across the quasi-border. Many believed that the rogue state, still reeling from the abrupt death of its dictator a few days ago, would be in disarray for some time to come. Instead, according to the Republic of Livonia's Ministry of Defense, the bulk of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia's armed forces attacked dozens of places along the DMZ. The ROL confirmed the presence of at least four DPRL Motor Rifle Regiments that have crossed the border in force, with more suspected of being not far behind. ROL forces near the DMZ under an artillery barrage The Pentagon was quick to comment in the initial hours of the attack that it is currently monitoring the situation and that while US forces are in the non-NATO country as part of a joint US-Republic of Livonian training scheme, no US forces are believed to be in combat at this time. A US destroyer is also reportedly operating in the Baltic off the coast, but the Pentagon stated that they would not be discussing precise deployments at this time. When asked how the DPRL could launch such a massive attack without any warning, representatives of the Intelligence Community said the current working theory is that several plans exist within the DPRL for a sudden attack and that one, or multiple were in effect. An emergency session of NATO has been called and the White House said the President had called the Livonian Prime Minister and the German Chancellor. ADA News Samuel Rutherford

All commands are to ensure OPSEC throughout rank and file. 3d MRB, A-Co with reinforced assets will immediately redeploy to the USS Kidd DDG-100, currently holding on the border of international waters offshore DPRL territory in the Baltic Sea, and will standby for imminent combat operations. 160th SOAR, 1st-BN and support will immediately redeploy to the 22nd Tactical Air Base in Malbork Poland and standby for imminent combat operations. Briefing to Follow: The Democratic Peoples Republic of Livonia (DPRL) has blamed the Republic of Livonia (ROL) for the death of their dictator Nikolay Dragomirov in a helicopter crash. Previous intel suggested a roughly even chance of civil war within the DPRL or an assault on the ROL. There are now confirmed reports of artillery barages into the ROL and appear to be preperations underway for further hostile action. USEUCOM is deploying USSOCOM assets to silence the artillery barrages and conduct kinnetic action designed to deter the DPRL from escalating into a larger conflict. The large scale deployment of US forces or a conventional conflict in Europe is not desired. Consequently, it is paramount to maintain a low profile during kinetic strikes and focus action on providing deterrents. Expect a full operational brief and specific near-term combat operations to be forwarded from EUCOM shortly. Good luck and Godspeed gentlemen. Signed, General Thomas A.

DPRL forces on Saaremaa Island shells ROL mainland The inhabitants of Nida were awoken by the sound of artillery shells landing in the town's small industrial sector. ROL military officials are claiming that the shells were fired by DPRL artillery stationed on the Island of Saaremaa, just a short distance off the coast. ROL officials immediately attempted to contact DPRL opposites but have reportedly received no answer. ROL artillery units stationed at the nearby military base were ordered on high alert but had not yet returned fire at approximately 05:00. Many fear that this is retaliation from the claimed "assassination" of DPRL dictator Nikolay Dragomirov earlier this week. The ruler likely died in an accident with his private helicopter, but several DPRL outlets have been promoting the claim that the United States or the ROL killed him. Nida's proximity to the DPRL-ROL border and the nearby ROL military base has made it a target on a few occasions in the past. 2 Inhabitants were severely injured in a small artillery duel in 1997, two ROL soldiers were killed and another 3 wounded during a similar incident in 2001 and most recently in 2011 when a DPRL coastal patrol vessel ran aground near the town on the ROL side of the border and its crew was detained.

Central Intelligence Agency Top Secret - B3 Security Clearance Required Intelligence Report: Operation Watchdog 15APR24 Introduction: This document contains a verbatim transcript relayed through secure channels by [NAME REDACTED], codename "Fortuna," detailing a conversation between members of DPRL leadership on April 15th, 2024 aswell as a detailed analysis thereof. Location: DPRL Directorate Headquarters, Kaliningrad Participants: [REDACTED], "Fortuna" General Ludmil Kozlov, Head of DPRL Armed Forces Yevgeniy Petrov, Member of the Supreme Council Maksimilian Tukhachevsky, Head of DPRL Intelligence Transcript: Tukhachevsky: "...and I assure you, there’s no concrete evidence of sabotage. The preliminary report indicates a malfunction. The mechanics are inexperienced with that model of aircraft, typically handling Soviet-era helicopters. This seems more like a technical failure driven by incompetence. Ultimately he became a victim of his own vanity." Kozlov: "Nonsense! The flight recorder data shows a clogged fuel line leading to a fatal engine failure. This is a classic sign of sabotage - those expletive Americans and their ROL lapdogs! We can't afford to sit back. We need to retaliate swiftly and proportionally. I suggest we use our special forces to execute our own sabotage missions. This will send a message that they can’t toy with us." Tukhachevsky: "We can't jump to conclusions without the full report. It could easily have been a maintenance issue leading to the clogged line. Our supply lines for spare parts have been stretched thin, which led to non OEM parts being used for replacements - further compounding the issue. Acting now without evidence could backfire." Petrov: "Backfire? We look weak with every hour we delay. The people will think we're either incompetent or afraid of the ROL. This is about more than a faulty helicopter; it’s about control. If we don’t retaliate immediately, we risk chaos internally, not just politically but militarily. Strong action isn't a choice—it's a necessity! This is our time once and for all to set the record straight. Comrades, we need to seize this opportunity and restore the Soviet Union to it's former glory. This is the time to decide our fate." Tukhachevsky: "Strong action based on speculation is dangerous. If we miscalculate—" Petrov: "We can't afford to appear indecisive! If this was sabotage—and just like Comrade Kozlov pointed out: it most probably was— any hesitation will embolden the ROL and the US. Even if it wasn’t, they need to believe that we are willing to crush them at the slightest provocation. It's the only way to maintain our grip on power. The Supreme Council won't tolerate weakness. I won't tolerate it." Kozlov: "I agree with Petrov. We strike, now, while the fire is still hot. We'll send them a clear message that any attack - real or suspected, will be met with a proportional response." Petrov: "No, with overwhelming force." [Fortuna enters with tea.] Fortuna: "I’ve brought tea for the gentlemen." Verified and authenticated by Sarah Miller, Field Agent, Warsaw Station Source Criticism for "Fortuna": Reliability of Information: Source's Position: [Name Redacted] "Fortuna" is a secretary, which generally implies a supportive role with limited direct influence on decision-making processes. While her position provides her access to sensitive discussions and documents, her involvement in the conversation is primarily passive, with her role limited to administrative support rather than active participation in policy or strategic decisions. Potential Bias: As a secretary, [Name Redacted] might be more of a witness to the interactions among higher-level officials rather than an active participant. Her translations and relayed information should be scrutinized for any potential biases or omissions. She might also be inclined to provide a sanitized or biased account based on her relation and perception of her superiors or her own position within the DPRL. Accuracy and Completeness: Context of Information: The transcript reveals internal disagreements and strategic considerations among DPRL officials, but the conversation may be selectively reported or interpreted. "Fortuna"s role in this context suggests she might be presenting a snapshot of a larger, more complex situation. The completeness of the information should be evaluated in light of her role as a non-decision-making participant. Verification: It is crucial to cross-reference the details provided in this transcript with other intelligence sources to verify accuracy. Given the sensitive nature of the discussion, there is a possibility of incomplete or selectively presented information. Implications: Strategic Interpretation: The insights provided by "Fortuna" offer a glimpse into the internal deliberations of DPRL officials but should be weighed against the broader intelligence picture. Her account may highlight internal tensions and disagreements but might not fully capture the underlying motives or potential agendas of the participants. Conclusion: The information relayed by "Fortuna" provides valuable context but must be corroborated with additional intelligence to form a comprehensive assessment. Her role as a secretary limits her direct influence but offers crucial observational insights that should be carefully analyzed and verified. Fortuna remains the Agency's most reliable and valuable asset within the DPLR, which is notoriously hard to infiltrate. Preliminary Psychological Profiles: General Ludmil Kozlov: Profile: Kozlov exhibits characteristics typical of a highly assertive and ambitious military leader. His reaction to the incident suggests a readiness to pursue aggressive strategies and a strong belief in punitive measures as a means to assert authority. Kozlov's language indicates a penchant for decisiveness and a lack of tolerance for ambiguity. His desire to retaliate reflects a mindset oriented towards confrontation and retribution, which could be driven by personal or professional insecurities, or a desire to strengthen his position within the DPRL hierarchy. Motivation: Maintaining and enhancing his influence, demonstrating strength, and possibly deflecting attention from internal issues or failures. Yevgeniy Petrov: Profile: Petrov displays characteristics of a staunch nationalist and unwavering hardliner, advocating for aggressive measures to safeguard the DPRL's stability and influence. He is focused on asserting DPRL dominance, willing to escalate tensions if it ensures internal cohesion and deters any notion of vulnerability. Petrov's rhetoric is more impulsive than Kozlov's and is marked by a strategic, long-term view of how sustained aggression could cement the DPRL's power. His insistence on immediate retaliation reflects a belief in strength through force and a readiness to escalate conflict to maintain control. Motivation: Preserving the unity of the DPRL by demonstrating a firm stance against both internal dissent and external adversaries. Petrov is motivated by a desire to ensure the DPRL remains a cohesive, unchallengeable force, willing to advocate for war with the ROL to eliminate vulnerabilities and bolster his influence within the Supreme Council. His political views hinge on the resurgence of the DPRL as a new soviet style superpower. Maksimilian Tukhachevsky: Profile: Tukhacevsky's cautious and analytical approach suggests he is a methodical and detail-oriented intelligence officer. His reluctance to immediately attribute the incident to sabotage reflects a commitment to thorough investigation and an aversion to premature conclusions. Tukhachevsky's emphasis on technical explanations and maintenance issues indicates a strong adherence to evidence-based decision-making. His profile suggests a preference for careful analysis and a potential resistance to politically motivated interpretations of events. Motivation: Upholding the integrity of intelligence and investigative processes, and ensuring accurate assessments to prevent misguided actions. Analysis: It remains unclear why both engines failed at the same time or why the pilots were not able to perform an autorotation. ROL Intelligence has through backchannels categorically denied any involvement in the possible aircraft sabotage. There is no further intelligence gathered through Operation Watchdog to support ROL participation. It is therefore much more likely that the crash was caused by improper maintenance of the aircraft. Precipitated by both the mechanics unfamiliarity with the aircraft and the difficult sourcing of spare parts due to imposed sanctions. The helicopter crash may be leveraged by pro-unification factions within the DPRL to destabilize the fragile ceasefire with the ROL. An escalation of violence is to be anticipated. Threat Assesment: IMMINENT Civil War: The power vacuum created by Dragomirovs death could lead to greater factionalism within the DPRL leadership ultimately leading to civil war. War with the ROL: To mantain inner stability and prevent factionalism within the DPRL it is posible that DPRL leadership may choose to blame the ROL for the crash. Seeking to escalate the conflict back into a state of war. Executive Summary: It is crucial in both scenarios to keep a close eye on the DPRL's nuclear arsenal through Operation Watchdog and to track which faction within the DPRL leadership controls it. If needed, intervention might be necessary to prevent it from falling into the hands of dangerous individuals or bad actors. David Webb Analyst, Eastern Europe Desk End of Document

Holy shit there's a name I haven't heard in a while lol Congratulations on the marriage Whitby! Glad to hear things are looking good. Whereabouts are you? MENA is a pretty big region. Any recommendations for tourist/vacation destinations? I retired from the unit years ago and just rejoined a couple weeks ago after seeing one of Harts' videos (the one with the oil platform - so good). Transferred from aviation to JTAC and really having a blast (sometimes literally) so far. As far as IRL goes I finished my bachelors degree and got a corporate job in a completely unrelated field (apparently history/philosophy isn't applicable to most jobs - who knew! ). Been working my way up the corporate ladder to some effect though. After the last 3 years focussing on work - I'm now trying to focus back on the more important parts of life like friends and family - also part of the reason I'm back. Also looking at travelling more, now that my paycheck allows for it - hence my question above.

Greetings E-Warriors. So I'm kinda geeking out right now. I was just checking out the art gallery in the new ArmA III DLC and I found a picture that looked super familiar to me. THEY ACTUALLY USED MY SCREENSHOT IN THE DLC AND I AM SO ECSTATIC. The placard next to it is something they wrote themselves and that I didn't have any input for but it's still fucking baller to me that I got included in a DLC in a game I enjoy heavily. Now my name and my screenshot are apart of ArmA lore.

Everyone drank from it, Specter found a bucket, which he filled and would become a staple of the journey as both Specter and Swanson wanted to empty the bucket to use it as a crude helmet. They quickly found a distraught man near the well with a simple fetch quest to get his son's blanket back. They went to the docks to get the blanket back, but was mugged or rather, an attempted mugging my a group of bandits. With only one of the bandits armed Specter and Swanson decided to huck loose cobblestones from the road at them and promptly killed two of them. Falconer falco-punched some poor man straight through the chest, (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom style). Laprade almost got shanked in the chest but was saved by Gluttony ruining his assailant. Once all the hoodlems were dead, the gang set to looting them and picking them clean, with Specter taking both his rock and one of the bandit's cloaks for himself, and Swanson simply retrieving his rock. Laprade gave Gluttony the knife in exchange for saving his life. After quickly leaving the scene of the crime, taking a torche and 3 crude cigarettes to give to a child later on. Once the gang went back to the quest giver, each person received a weapon of their choosing. The gang tried to give their new found cigarettes to the kid, to no avail. Hess and Swanson took shortbows, Gluttony taking a shield to compliment his dagger, Laprade taking a massive sword and Specter taking a short sword. After receiving their weapons, they were tasked with taking a pack of Kobolds out, something that no one expected to go as it did. After walking out of city lines, and almost killing another group, the gang finds a few Kolbolds. Swanson tried and failed to knock down the scout before it alerted the rest of the pack, but alas it was in vain. The rest of the pack was alerted to their presence. Hess took to a tree to begin his overwatch, Laprade engaged with Gluttony assisting him, Falconer began his rampage with his weapons and Swanson was harrased by multiple Kobolds but Specter was there to help him. Once the intial engagement was over, the gang looted what they could, Hess went scavenging and Specter drank from his bucket, giving Laprade the last few drops to which Laprade politely responded by throwing Specter's prize bucket into the forest. After all the remaining Kobolds ran into the cave nest, the gang decided to begin their clearing of the cave. Burning logs and burning bodies were sent down into the hole and a group of Kobolds tried to punish the group for such an atrocity. With one of the Kobolds coming out of the hole ablaze, he ran to the tree that Hess and Swanson had decided to take refuge in, setting the tree alight. Hess tried to no avail to use his "fire hose" to put out the fire, with Gluttony also stepping in to try to mitigate the blaze. Laprade took a Kobold from behind and summarily thew him down the hole along with a head that Falconer had swiped clean from another. Hess forged for food, mid fight and Swanson shot two Kobolds and killed them quickly(They were the lucky ones). With the entrence to the cave being blocked by burning bodies the smoke column could be seen for miles, with other groups looking on at the massacre. Once the nest was burned out, and all the Kobolds killed, the gang went back to the city to claim their reward. (That's all I could remember, if I left anything out please feel free to comment.)
