Ni-Rao Civil War: Difference between revisions

The royal palace was destroyed in the coup, and the Chambers of the Council of 500 were seized by Communist forces. Most legislators were killed in the bombing, although Grand Vizier Doran Imo and 6 other members of the Council of 500 survived and escaped to Rora in the north with Empress Morau XII. The government of the August Empire of Ni-Rao was granted asylum in the embassy of [[Tavaris]], who joined the war on the day of the coup on the side of the north. Nearly the entire Ni-Rao Air Force sided with the Communist insurgency, and while large portions of the Navy did not, the Communist forces attacked the loyalist Navy vessels and sank or disabled a majority of Raonite naval capacity. The Army was largely split on geographic lines. The military body de facto in charge of South Ni-Rao is the Worker's Council of the Revolution, led by General Doro Imo. Paramilitary forces from [[Meremaa]] have also joined the war on the northern side, while the Radical Battalion, an international milita organization comprised of Communist activists from [[Meagharia]], [[Durakia]], and [[Ekvatora]] (but unrecognized by all these governments), has joined the southern side.
