This is it for now
History of Tripunithura
This was the first published history of my Kingdom of Tripunithura.
THE KINGDOM OF TRIPUNITHURA
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM OF TRIPUNITHURA
Official Name: The Kingdom of Tripunithura
Capital: Cochin
Population: 1.183 Billion
Other major cities: Tripunithura, Trichur, Palakkad, Nilambur, Ponnani, Kodungalloor, Kavaratti.
Official Language: Malayalam, English
Other languages: Hindi, Tamil
Government type: Monarchy
Head of State: His Highness Rama Varma
The Kingdom of Tripunithura exists between 9 d 52' N and 11 d 15' N latitudes and 75 d 50' E and 77 d 16' E longitudes and also the island chain of Lakshadweep. The Arabian Sea forms the western coast and the Western Ghats form the eastern boundary of the Tripunithura State. The nation is surrounded on all three sides by the Republic of Travancore-Cochin.Here is an account of the history of the Kingdom of Tripunithura and the erstwhile Kingdom of Cochin....
The pro democracy movements in Cochin that were triggered by the abolishment of monarchy unsettled the reigning octagenarian monarch whose administration was failing. The defence forces had gone into decline and the smiths, foundries and metal works which formed the back bone of Cochin ordinance based industries had fallen into disrepair.It was at this time that seditious forces inspired by the Zamorin of Malabar started an insurgency that forced the senile King of Tripunithura to abdicate the throne. But after the abdication the Malabar sponsored terrorists showed their true colors and caused Malabar forces to invade the Kingdom of Tripunithura. Now the deposed king seceded the kingdom to Travancore-Cochin and self exiled to his remain territories in the island chain of Lakshadweep on 3 August, 2007.He swore that before long the Darbar shall hold court in the palaces of Tripunithura and shall make mincemeat of the vaunted armies of Zamorin. The King of Tripunithura passed away on 12 August, 2007 and the present king, His Highness Rama Varma ascended the throne. He was great grand nephew of the late King Kerala Varma.
This king had and extra reason for seeking vengeance. His mother is a princess of the Kingdom of Nilambur and he was to become the Crown prince of Nilambur. But the Kingdom of Nilambur was laid waste and annhilated by the Zamorins destroying the Present king's maternal ancestry.
The new king gave special impetus to the growing army of Cochin which was formed of the exiled people of Cochin and the islanders of Lakshadweep.
The king created the Royal Tripunithura Defense Forces, a predominantly Marine military unit. The army had 2 frigates and 2 minesweepers which formed the remnants of the old Royal Tripunithura Navy. The Kingdom also bought two diesel submarines. The air force consisted of 3 vintage Harrier jets which were brought to top levels of maintenance and fighting ability through special jamming systems and munitions. There were also 10 vintage hueys and 3 Mi-35 Hinds which made the backbone of the Army. The land forces consisted of T-72 tanks, BTR80 and BMP2 APCs and Willys Jeeps.
On September 1, 2007 at 0230 IST, the Royal Tripunithura Defense Forces (RTDF) struck at various points of Zamorin Malabar as part of the invading army of Republic of Travancore-Cochin. The crack teams of RTDF SAS decapiatated the invader govt offices in Calicut and the Naval forces sunk 2 Destroyers and 5 submarines that laid anchor at Calicut Naval Base. The submarines of RTDF also laid waste the Battleship Marakkar of Zamorin which was steaming near Calicut.
By 1930 IST September 19, 2007 Republic of Travancore-Cochin, assisted by RTDF defeated Malabar and annexed its territories.
On 26 September, 2007 Malabar formally became a province of Republic of Travanvore-Cochin.
Soon discussions started between the King Rama Varma and the Republic of Travancore-Cochin. It was decided that the erstwhile Kingdom of Cochn will be split into two with the southern half being gifted to the Republic of Travancore-Cochin as thanks to the support and aid they have provided to the beleaguered Kingdom. The northern half of the Kingdom including the city of Cochin will form the new Kingdom of Tripunithura with its capital at Cochin.
The Kingdom formally came into being on 01 january, 2008 0000 hours IST.
On ascending throne HH. Rama Varma announced a wide range of policy changes in the governance of the new Kingdom which include
1) A complete revamp of the Defense forces of the Kingdom so that never again will the Kingdom fall prey to external threats.
2) A new and revitalised Internal security force so that never again shall the Kingdom be crippled by insurgents and terrorists.
3) Complete makeover of Tripunithura's Arms Manufacturing industries so that Tripunithura arms shall once again be the cream of world weaponry.
4) A new foreign policy which shall seek a permanent partnership and special arrangement with the Republic of Travancore-Cochin in all matters.
In the 6 months since the independence the Kingdom of Tripunithura has grown in true testament to the proclamation of the King.Its defence forces are stable and well equipped for its regional defense role. its industries are churning out vast numbers of high quality armaments and the shipyards of Tripunithura are constructing a number of ships and submarines for the refurbished RTDF Navy.The Kingdom of Tripunithura has no expansionist aims. The mainland territories and the island chain of Lakshadweep form the heritage of Tripunithura and they shall be defended at all costs herewith. Tripunithura never forgets the help it received nor does it ever forget the slights it received. Thus begins a new era, a time of prosperity and strength!!!

OOC: I agree.. things have been moving really fast lately.. which is good.. but in a certain sense, its kinda making things confusing and not well-planned.. for instance, the sudden switch of enemy (RADICAL over Hirudinaria).. or the creation of Tripunithura on former Travancorean land.. there needs to be a little bit of continuity in the stories

Government of Travancore-Cochin
Ministry of Internal Affairs
The government has been closely monitoring the developments in the areas of the erstwhile Kingdom of Cochin. An independence movement had originated, centered around Tripunithura, whose people owed their allegiance to the nephew of the King of the erstwhile Cochin state and the heir-apparent to the throne, around 5 months ago. Recently, the agitations have been turning violent, so much so that the Malayali populace is in danger of being fragmented, instead of standing united. Taking such developments into consideration, talks had been initiated with the government by the heir-apparent of Cochin, Mr. Rama Varma.
After consultation with the King of Cochin at the time of accession and the current MP from Cochin parliamentary constituency, Mr. Rama Varma, it has been decided to give autonomy to the the northern provinces and the regions which were under the control of the erstwhile Cochin State, sans the city of Cochin. The details, however are still being worked out and a full notification shall be issued afterwards.
Signed,
The Prime Minister,
Government of Travancore-Cochin

We will give them all help possible to ensure they start well, and with the resources they have, they will flourish." He also announced Induvistan's plans to found an embassy in Kochi.
Mr Tan also took the opportunity to invite Tripunithura to AIS. "A young nation is very suspectible to internal threats from anti-nationalist group. Recently, there have been attacks by a group seeming to call themself - RADICAL. Tripunithura needs to guard itself against suvh threats. AIS will ensure that there will always be nations to support them. He also reiterated his invitation to Clandon, Panjabi Nations and Travancore-Cochin, who have been troubled by RADICAL

Introduction
After starting off with a bang i became quite obsessed with NS RP and there was even a RP war conflict between my midget Kingdom and the mighty Wulaishen Republic.
Then gradually online RP became duller and inactive with zero response from other members and it became a game for my own mind. I used to play my own one sided RP as a hobby to pass time. i used to scribble in my ever handy notebooks and scribblepad.
This was going on for quite some time when i saw that an RP section had started in Orange Defense Network my alliance in the game Cybernations, another superb MMORPG. Here my nation was called Cochin and i had created this as a monarchy, with of course me (:D) as the omnipotent monarch.
Thus started the next phase of my RP dreams!!! Again most of my RP was within my own head and within the confines of my notebook.
What i intend to do here is to organize my RP to this blog so i can have a single unified record of my RPs. If my rambling lunacy interests anyone else they are welcome to read it too!!!!
