History of Whittier

The Moon Crises

Early January 2003 Secretary General Alexander Brezhnekov, fearing that Whittier will be left out in the race to establish colonnies and bases on the moon in the great lunar rush, dispatches troops to the moon under the auspices of defending the moon natives from Earth Domination. Several nations condemned this action and demanded Whittier's full withdrawal from the moon. Among those in opposition to Whittier were several nations on the moon, the United States of the South Pacific, Crystal Palaise, and several others. In opposition to Whittier's troop deployment, the United States of the South Pacific sent its own forces to moon to Whittier from grabbing more lunar soil. The Holy Empire of Canales, under the auspices of Emperor Canales, offered and helped negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The next day, Whittier formally proclaimed it was recognizing the independence of West Moon and would soon withdraw its forces. Though the total disarmament of West Moon was sought, this was never acheived. Whittier, at the invitation of the newly established government of West Moon, announced its intention to maintain a military presence on West Moon territory to prevent and counter hostile intentions on the part of the South Pacific and West Moon's neighbors. Victor Szachinsky was installed by Whittier as West Moon's first communist dictator. And a huge wall was built around west moon, complete with land mines and booby traps for any capitalist troops that would try to enter West Moon. During the dispute, Whittier often threatened the use of nuclear weapons, which alone prevented the conflict from becoming hot. But The USTSP countered with their own nuclear threats. Despite their bluff, it turned out that at this time, Whittier did not have nuclear weapons. The dispute ended with Whittier having a defacto colony or satellite state on the Moon. Winner: Whittier.


NakedTeenageGirls

Mid January 2003 At this time, socialist rebels rose up against the capitalist government of NakedTeenageGirls and tried to ban nudity. Until this time, NTG was a peaceful and prosperous nation where public nudity of females 12 to 40 was the norm. Seizing the opportunity to spread socialism around the world and gain an ally, Whittier dispatched 25,000 troops to NTG to help the socialists overthrow the capitalists and impose a socialist dictatorship government. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned as the military deployment was widely condemned by the world as aggression, despite Whittier claims to have been invited in. In a quick response to the Whittier Troop deployments, The United States of the South Pacific sent 25,000 of its own troops to NTG and began supplying the NTG government with arms and cash. Whittier reciprocated by supplying arms and cash to the rebels. Regretfully, the war went on for a very long time, as the situation became stalemated and both sides kept sending arms and cash to their clients in NTG. The conflict lasted till late February and resulted 150,000 Whittier deaths, 340,000 South Pacific deaths, and 23 million NTG deaths. The conflict came to an end in Late February when the TSP, facing antiwar protests at home and an enemy increasing in strength, and negative publicity finally withdrew its troops which it evacuated. TSP did dispatch an armada of Helicopters and gunships to NTG to evacuate the NTG government and fleeing citizens just before the socialists stormed the 12 embassies belonging to TSP and its allies. As the evacuees flew away they saw the first NTG flag dropped to the ground and the hammer and sickle raised in its place. This conflict is considered to have been Whittier's and TSP's Vietnam war. Unfortunately, both sides targeted civilians and used chemical weapons, including Napalm and VX indescriminately on troops and civilians alike. The war was a conflict in the struggle between the ideologies of Socialism and Capitalism. And the troop deployments were limited and the war restricted to NTG due to the fact that by the time it started, both sides already had substantial nuclear ICBM arsenals. Hence, it was contained due to MAD. Winner: Whittier.


Developments

While the NTG conflict was going on and just before Whittier intervention in the Ukraine Conflict on Russian Forces side, Whittier developed Battle Island. This weapon was deployed during the Ukraine Conflict and due to its distance from land, survived that wars huge nuclear exchange. Whittier was the only nation to have and use a battle island during this conflict and the first nation in all of nationstates to have one. However, after the Ukraine conflict, Battle Island suffered from The GoldFish Syndrome as the government refused to use it in other conflicts for awhile, till recently both due to the costs, and out fear that other nations might steal(copy) the technology. Whittier built 2 battle Islands and is working buiding 2 more.

The Ukrainian Conflict

To come.
