{{see|TCN Resolution 005}}
{{see|Armas Blockade}}
{{see|TCN Resolution 011}}

The [[2019-20 Morovan Crisis]] began on September 22, 2019, with the passage of [[TCN Resolution 001]] which condemned [[Morova]] for attacking civilians and denying humanitarian aid to civilians.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1262166|title=Condemnation of the People's Republic of Morova (Resolution)|date=September 21, 2019}}</ref> TCN Resolution 001 passed with a vote of ten for, none against, and six abstentions. TCN Resolution 001 was followed by [[TCN Resolution 003]] on September 30, 2019, which established a ban on international weapons sales to [[Morova]] due to the [[Morovan Civil War]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1264799|title=Ban on the International Sale of Weapons to Morova (Resolution)|date=September 29, 2019}}</ref> The resolution passed with a vote of ten for, three against, and three abstentions. On October 12, 2019, the [[International Coalition for Morova]] (INTCOMOR) was formed as a peacekeeping force to be stationed in the city of [[Kieva]].

On January 13, 2020, the [[Terraconserva Council of Nations#Security Council|Terraconserva Council of Nations Security Council]] passed [[TCN Resolution 005]], the Instatement of a Naval Blockade on the [[Morova|People's Republic of Morova]]. The resolution passed with a vote of twelve for, two against, and two abstentions, making it the most supported TCN Resolution up to that point. The resolution enforced a naval blockade on [[Morova]] for violating [[TCN Resolution 003]] and for supporting the [[Deltinian Liberation Army]], a [[List of Designated Terrorist Organizations|terrorist organization]] in [[Deltino (viceroyalty)|southern]] [[Creeperopolis]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1305088|title=Instatement of a Naval Blockade on the People's Republic of Morova (Resolution)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37349436|title=Morovan Message to DLA Leader|date=January 11, 2020}}</ref> As a direct consequence of [[TCN Resolution 005]], the nations of [[Creeperopolis]], [[Greater Sacramento]], [[New Gandor]], and [[Paleocacher]] dispatched ships to the [[Glaceis Ocean]] to blockade [[Morova]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37367742|title=Gandorian Fleet Assembles at Fort Handel|date=January 13, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37367890|title=Creeperian Fleet Assembles at Sonsonate|date=January 13, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37370034|title=Gandorian Fleet Agrees to Meet in Sonsonate|date=January 13, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37381247|title=Creeperian-Gandorian Fleet leaves Sonsonate|date=January 15, 2020}}</ref> Later on January 15, [[International Coalition for Morova]] declared that [[Paleocacher|Paleocacherian]] INTCOMOR forces in [[Morova]] would remain as peacekeeping forces during the blockade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37381304|title=INTCOMOR to Remain in Morova|date=January 15, 2020}}</ref> The blockade lasted from January 15, 2020, until the [[Treaty of Asr El Ziqara]] officially ended the blockade on January 27, 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37475302|title=Treaty of Asr El Ziqara|date=January 26, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37475451|title=Karamazov Signs Treaty of Asr El Ziqara|date=January 26, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37475472|title=Cabañeras Gutiérrez Signs Treaty of Asr El Ziqara|date=January 26, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37475901|title=Morgan Signs Treaty of Asr El Ziqara|date=January 26, 2020}}</ref>

On March 27, 2020, a [[Morova]]n refugee ship, ''[[The Lady Kieva]]'' attempted to enter [[Quebecshire|Quebecshirite]] waters near the city of [[Portsmouth]]. [[Sinking of The Lady Kieva|''The Lady Kieva'' was sunk]] by the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire|Quebecshirite Portsmouth Fleet]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37994694|title=First Quebecshirite Press Report on the Sinking of the Lady Kieva|date=March 27, 2020}}</ref> The report released by the Quebecshirite government alleged that all 2,300 passengers died in the altercation and that [[Quebecshire]] was investigating the source of the ship. [[Émeric Boudreaux]], the [[Quebecshirite Administration of National Defence|Administrator for National Defence]], mentioned the possibility that the ship was sponsored by the Morovan government or a corporation, but these theories have not been proven. The report also stated that no mutual two-way communication was made between the Portsmouth Fleet and the Lady Kieva leading up to and during the incident.

The [[Terraconserva Council of Nations]] passed [[TCN Resolution 011|Resolution 011]] on March 28, 2020, which repealed and replaced both [[TCN Resolution 003]] and [[TCN Resolution 005]]. The resolution imposed a blockade on all [[Morova]]n ships going to and from [[Morova]] with the intention of selling weapons to and from [[Morova]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1337636|title=Ban on the International Purchase of Weapons to and from Morova and the Instatement of a Blockade (Resolution)}}</ref> It also contained mentions of the alleged "failings of the Morovan government which lead to the sinking of The Lady Kieva" and condemned Morova for allegedly "attempting to extort ₵500,000,000 Credits from Quebecshire."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lcnwiki.xyz/index.php?title=TCN_Resolution_011|title=Ban on the International Purchase of Weapons to and from Morova and the Instatement of a Blockade|date=March 28, 2020}}</ref> However, this is possibly due to the influence Quebecshire had on the drafting of the resolution.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38004579|title=TCN Resolution 011 Drafting Conference Call|date=March 28, 2020}}</ref> The resolution passed with a vote of twelve for, three against, and one abstention.

Later, on March 29, 2020, [[TCN Resolution 012]], officially called the Admittance of the [[Zion|Republic of Zion]] as an Observer State (012), was adopted by the [[Terraconserva Council of Nations#Security Council|Terraconserva Council of Nations Security Council]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1337814|title=Admittance of the Republic of Zion as an Observer State (Resolution)|date=March 29, 2020}}</ref> The resolution passed with a vote of twelve for, three against, and one abstention, and admitted the [[Zion|Republic of Zion]] as an observer state to the [[Terraconserva Council of Nations]]. On March 30, 2020, [[TCN Resolution 013]] passed with a vote of twelve for, one against, and three abstentions, which placed an embargo on oil sales to and from [[Morova]]. The resolution allowed the naval forces participating in the enforcement of [[TCN Resolution 011]] to enforce [[TCN Resolution 013]] if [[Morova]] was non-compliant. It also allowed the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire]] to enforce [[TCN Resolution 013]] if Morova is non-compliant.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1338561|title=Prohibition of Petroleum Sales to and from Morova (Resolution)}}</ref>

=== Assembling of Fleets ===

The detachment of the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire|Portsmouth Fleet]] of the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire]] departed to the region of the [[Glaceis Ocean]] surrounding [[Morova]] to enforce [[TCN Resolution 011]] as well as to further Quebecshirite interests in the region on March 29, 2020. The ships will arrived in the region of the [[Glaceis Ocean]] surrounding [[Morova]] by evening. The largest ship sent by the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire|Portsmouth Fleet]] was the ''[[NQ Arceneaux]]'', an aircraft carrier which was carrying forty [[F-35 Lightning IIB]] fighter jets as well as twenty [[Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk]] helicopters. [[Quebecshire]] also sent three destroyers, five attack submarines, one amphibious transport dock ship, which was to be based in [[Beauvois]], [[Groffenord]], until further notice and was absent from the remainder of the fleet's position, and seven littoral combat ships. Upon arrival, the fleet took positions close to and around [[Morova]]n oil drilling sites and monitored any coming or going ships in the region for weapons distribution. The Quebecshirite fleet was positioned southeast of [[Morova]] and was commanded by Admiral [[David Massé]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38022858|title=GRAND NAVY OF QUEBECSHIRE - DEPARTURE OF THE PORTSMOUTH FLEET TO MOROVA|date=March 29, 2020}}</ref> 

Shortly after these deployments, the [[Navy of Gagium|Gagian]] destroyers [[NG Latoue]] and [[NG Lescavan]], as well as the frigates [[NG Épée]] and [[NG Styx]], were put under the command of Admiral [[Porthos Gachet]] and prepared in case Gagian intervention off the Morovan coasts would prove to be necessary. One attack submarine, [[NG Villejust]], was also prepared.

In response to the departure of the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire|Quebecshirite fleet]], the [[Morova]]n submarine fleet consisting of seven submarines deployed to Morovan waters near [[Kieva]]. They were ordered to fire upon any armed vessel entering [[Morova]]n waters.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38022901|title=Morovan Submarines Mobilized|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> In response to the [[Morova]]n deployment of submarines, five anti-submarine patrol jets were scrambled immediately after [[Morova]]n submarine activity within [[Groffenord]]ic waters in the [[Glaceis Ocean]] was confirmed.

=== Order of Battle ===

{{main|Glaceis Ocean Order of Battle}}

=== Battle Begins ===

After nightfall on March 30, 2020, the [[Grand Navy of Quebecshire|Quebecshirite Portsmouth Fleet]] and the Gagian detachment fired forty-five tomahawk cruise missiles from two destroyers at a submarine shipyard/port in [[Kieva]] for the fleet which the [[Morova]]n government possesses.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028012|title=Quebecshirite Missile Strikes|title=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The attack was claimed to be an unprovoked attack on the Morovans.{{citation needed}}

During the Quebecshirite and Gagian attack on [[Kieva]], 623 were reported to have been killed from the port. The docking stations for the submarines were heavily damaged by the missile strikes and were immediately put under emergency repair. After the initial strike, two ASBMs were launched at the Quebecshire aircraft carrier from a submarine from a concealed position in the northwestern waters of the [[Morovan Island|Island of Morova]] in response to the missile attack on [[Kieva]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028210|title=Two ASBMs Fired at Quebecshirite Aircraft Carrier|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> Both missiles were unable to make it to the Quebecshirite fleet as they both lost control of their paths and fell from the sky somewhere over the central regions of the [[Morova]] as the aircraft carrier was far out of the range of the ASBM missiles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028446|title=Two ASBMs Fired at Quebecshirite Aircraft Carrier Fail to Hit Target|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> After the initial failure, four more ASBMs were fired from two submarines within Zionian territorial waters outside of [[Kieva]], again aimed at the Quebecshirite fleet.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028515|title=Four ASBMs Fired at Quebecshirite Fleet|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The missiles set the evening sky ablaze as they rushed towards the Quebecshirite fleet. [[Quebecshire]]'s aircraft carrier deployed one third of the armament in the Mark 36 Super Rapid Bloom Offboard Countermeasures Chaff and Decoy Launching System to counter the attempted missile strike. Due to the missile model's circular error probability range of 370 meters, two missed the carrier entirely. Meanwhile, one was stopped mid-air by the countermeasures, but one struck the starboard side of the carrier, causing damage and killing several crewmen from the blast. [[David Massé]] ordered a full-scale retaliation in the second wave of attacks against [[Morova]]. The five fast attack submarines moved forward and each fired two of their four MK-48 torpedos to occupy and incapacitate the submarines at [[Kieva]]. Forty-five more cruise missiles were launched from the destroyers at [[Kieva]]. The missiles were targeting government installations and compounds, specifically the Morovan assembly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028662|title=Quebecshire Damages and Retaliation|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The National Assembly hall exploded causing a fire that began to spread through [[Kieva]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030635|title=National Assembly Burning|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> One of the two [[Morova]]n typhoons began to take on water on its starboard side.

=== Blockaders Attack ===

After the initial attacks on the Quebecshirite fleet, many of the blockader nations attacked Morovan submarines which were detected in their respective areas. The Gandorian destroyers, ''[[NGS Jacek]]'', ''[[ NGS Serce]]'', and ''[[NGS Tuz]]'' moved into [[Morova]]n territorial waters and used sonar to keep track of the submarine which was detected in the area. They each took turns firing 10 high explosive torpedoes at the submarine. The cruisers, ''[[NGS Nauka]]'', ''[[NGS Czas]]'', and ''[[NGS Ogien]]'' moved in and dropped 15 depth charges, each using concussion to combat it. The battleships, ''[[NGS Thompson]]'' and ''[[NGS Zeblotny]]'' turned to port and begin firing by battery at the shipyard, primarily targeting ammo reserves, military ships, and any submarines dry docked. The battleships fired 14 inch HE shells. The yard was well within the 21 mile range of the ship's 14 inch guns. The aircraft carrier ''[[NGS Antrepryza]]'' launched planes to spot the submarine and carry out strikes on the naval shipyard.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028597|title=Gandorians Attack Submarine and Military Targets|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The ''[[Nautilus]]'' took several hits, throwing several men and killing 19 men. The hull was severely damaged but the ship remained afloat. In response, the ''[[Nautilus]]'' fired 20 type 53 torpedos at the Gandorian fleet.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030635|title=Nautilus Damaged 1|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030645|title=Nautilus Damaged 2|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030797|title=Nautilus Damaged 3|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The destroyers ''[[NGS Jacek]]'', ''[[NGS Serce]]'', and ''[[NGS Tuz]]'' and the cruisers ''[[NGS Nauka]]'', ''[[NGS Czas]]'', and ''[[NGS Ogien]]'' began evasive maneuvers and threaded the torpedoes with a few coming in close contact. Five torpedoes head towards the back fleet, with one striking the battleship ''[[NGS Thompson]]'' on the heavy armor belt, causing a dent and medium internal damage. Fifteen men died as a result of concussion and 45 were wounded. Four headed towards the heavy cruiser ''[[NGS Obfity]]'' and breached the hull causing it to take on water. The order was given to abandon ship and men fell into the water. A radio transmission was sent out to [[Creeperopolis]] and fellow Gandorian ships to send help to pick up survivors. In retaliation the battleships ''[[NGS Thompson]]'' and ''[[NGS Zeblotny]]'' continued to bombard the naval yard. Out of a crew of 400, 203 were confirmed dead, while survivors, wounded, and other dead were being picked up by [[Creeperopolis]] and [[New Gandor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38031875|title=Engagement at Day|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref> Eventually, the submarine surfaced and Karamazov raised a white flag, radioing in his surrender to the Gandorians.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38031905|title=Karamazov Surrenders|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref>

The [[Creeperopolis|Creeperian]] fleet immediately ordered the ''[[BIC Chalatenango]]'', ''[[BIC Nuevo San Juan]]'', and ''[[BIC Denshire]]'' to hunt down a Morovan submarine detected in the area following the attack on the Quebecshirite fleet. The destroyers detected the submarine and each fired two harpoon missiles at the submarine, six in total. The aircraft carrier ''[[BIC Emperador Adolfo III]]'' was put on high alert and its aircraft, 60 [[Maroto Botín FA-13]] fighter jets, were prepared to take off if necessary to engage the submarine. The ''[[BIC San Lucas]]'' hospital ship was also prepared to deal with any potential casualties which could be inflicted by the submarine if it attacked. The remaining battleships, heavy cruisers, and light cruisers were placed on standby should they be needed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028663|title=Creeperopolis Attacks Morovan Submarine|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The missiles pierced the hull of the submarine, killing 37 men. The submarine responded by firing 6 R-39 Rif towards the destroyers, with 2 heading for each destroyer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030635|title=Morovan Submarine Retaliates|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The Creeperian destroyers ''[[BIC Chalatenango]]'', ''[[BIC Nuevo San Juan]]'', and ''[[BIC Denshire]]'' were completely unharmed since the range of the torpedoes fired were well outside their maximum range. The submarine was ordered to surface and surrender its entire crew to the destroyers. The submarine was ordered to fire all their torpedoes as to not play any "funny games" with the destroyers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38032199|title=Creeperian Destroyers Undamaged, Submarine Ordered to Surrender|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref>

The ''[[FPS Cesar Delgado]]'' and the ''[[FPS Xanthus]]'' of the [[Paleocacher|Paleocacherian]] fleet each fired two SAMs at the ballistic missiles fired from the [[Morova]]n submarine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028648|title=Paleocacher Attacks Missiles|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The [[President of Paleocacher]] ordered the deployment of the [[Kivu Squadron]], which was already on alert and participating in exercises east of [[Liberty City]], to the [[Morova]]n coast. Four frigates, three destroyers, the cruiser ''[[FPS Bullmar]]'', amphibious assault ships ''[[FPS Kraken]]'' and ''[[FPS Leviathan]]'', and three logistical replenishment ships were dispatched.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38029043|title=Paleocacherian Fleet Mobilized|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref>

The ''[[Razaq I]]'' and ''[[Shaqan I]]'' of the Sacramatian fleet fired at the northernmost submarine while the ''[[Zayyad I]]'' and ''[[Zayyad II]]'' fired at the southernmost submarine. All destroyers fired two harpoon missiles each at the submarines.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028786|title=Sacramatians Attack Submarines|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> The outer hull contained the explosions, keeping the damage from reaching the rest of the submarine. However, the outer hull was pierced and the outer area began to take on water. The ship fired an SLBM at the Sacramatian fleet and fired 6 torpedos towards the destroyers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030635|title=Morovans Retaliate Against Greater Sacramento|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref>

The [[Terranilian Navy]] deployed two Virǎt class submarines, two Aberis class frigates, and a Devraif class destroyer in response to [[Morova]]n aggression towards [[Quebecshire]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028845|title=Terranilian Navy Mobilizes|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref>

The anti-air array surrounding [[Beauvois]] was put on high alert and all non-essential civilians were told to evacuate the city immediately. Five destroyers, two cruisers and one battleship were ordered to intercept any [[Morova]]n submarine detected within [[Groffenord]]ic and international waters.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38028987|title=Beauvois Put on High Alert|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref> Two SLBMs were launched at the Groffenfordic battleship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38030635|title=Morovans Retaliate Against Gorffenord|date=March 30, 2020}}</ref>

During the battle, the Gagian surface combatants helped track the Morovan submarines while the submarine ''NG Villejust'' attempted to ensure that none of the Morovan submarines tried to escape.

=== Karamazov Surrenders ===

After the Gandorians began attacking the naval yard, the submarine nearest to the Gandorians surfaced and Karamazov raised a white flag, radioing in his surrender to the Gandorians.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38031905|title=Karamazov Surrenders|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref> The ''[[NGS Ogien]]'' pulls aside the battered ''[[Nautilus]]'' and extend a plank over the side. Four armed sailors cross the plank, cuff and arrest Karamazov. Admiral [[Jackson Nowak]] received confirmation that they have him. Cheers roared from the ''[[NGS Ogien]]'' and the entire Gandorian fleet. The battleships ceased fire and a hazy smoke covered the water. Karamazov was brought aboard the ''[[NGS Ogien]]'' and put into a holding cell. The light cruisers ''[[NGS Ogien]]'', ''[[NGS Nauka]]'', and ''[[NGS Czas]]'' made their way to [[Beauvois]] to hand over Karamazov.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38032060|title=Karamazov Arrested|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref> The Quebecshirite naval forces stationed in [[Beauvois]] met the Gandorians there and arrested Karamazov, taking him into Quebecshirite custody.

=== Gandorians and Creeperans Celebrate ===

[[Chief Admiral (Creeperopolis)|Chief Admiral]] [[José Guerrero López]] was informed of the capture of Grand Admiral Karamazov. He ordered the battleships ''[[BIC San Rafael]]'' and ''[[BIC San Ignacio]]'' to fire their 16in guns westward towards open ocean in celebration. The crew of the battleships celebrated and the crew thanked God for allowing the Gandorians to capture the man who [[Creeperopolis]] labeled "the most hated man in the international community."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38032261|title=Creeperans Celebrate|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref> The Creeperian fleet immediately dispatched the ''[[BIC San Lucas]]'' hospital ship to go help tend to the wounded soldiers of the sunken ship of the Gandorian fleet.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38032199|title=Creeperian Hospital Ship Sails to Gandorian Fleet|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref> Cheers rang from the decks of the Gandorian ships.

=== Lucien LaRochelle Speaks to the Press ===

[[File:LaRochelle conference.png|thumb|right|[[Speaker of the Parliament of Quebecshire|Speaker of the Parliament]] [[Lucien LaRochelle]] giving his speech announcing Karamazov's capture to the press of [[Quebecshire]].]]

News of the open conflict in [[Morova]] broke out across the [[Terraconserva|world]]. For many, it was unsurprising and felt as if it had been coming for many months. Despite this, it still came as some level of a shock to many people in [[Quebecshire]] even has it actually happened. Although the conflict was far from home, most Quebecshirites were strangers to the concept of war and its impacts.

[[Lucien LaRochelle]] walked to the podium in front of the Parliament building in [[Quebecshire City]] where a large group of reports waited to hear his update to the [[Quebecshire|nation]] on the affairs that transpired in [[Morova]].

{{quote|"As many news outlets reported, last night combat altercations began in Morova between the international blockading forces and the [[Alyosha "Alexei" Karamazov|Karamazov]] regime. I regret to inform the public that roughly thirty Quebecshirite servicemen did die in the battles in the [[Glaceis Ocean|Glaceis [O]cean]]. Our allies in [[New Gandor]] have also reported some losses, and our government expressed our condolences to the families of all who have been impacted by this event.
In brief summary of the events, the Morovan navy is largely incapacitated and has surrendered. A small special forces detachment has been sent to [[Morova]] to make contact with Zion to consider our options there, however, more reports on this will come in the future. However, now is the time for moving forward.

...Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. The Gandorian fleet arrested Karamazov shortly after his surrender and he is currently in transport from [[Beauvois]] to [[Bostonia]], where he will await trial if our [[TCN Resolution 014|upcoming Security Council Resolution]] passes.

Quebecshire sends unending thanks to our allies, those participating in this blockade and supporting us for the betterment of the international community. We hope the worst of this crisis is behind us. To what remains of the regime in [[Morova]], this is what we have to say for you. The end goal of the international forces is peace and fair elections in [[Morova]]. If you continue to be hostile, the blockade will resume retaliation. Whoever is now in charge of your assembly, military, and government, we await your response to these developments.

Quebecshire is committed to a swift and decisive end to this crisis, with a victory for democracy, diplomacy, and prosperity. Thank you."|[[Lucien LaRochelle]], March 31, 2020<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=38033459|title=Lucien LaRochelle Speaks to the Press|date=March 31, 2020}}</ref>}}
