TITO Reaches 1000th Mission!
In a warm July evening in 2003, a sleepy little region called the 10000 Islands was attacked without reason by a stealth invader force that was over five times the size of the Islands. This was in the days before Founders existed and could eject invaders.
At the time, the 10000 Islands only had about 30 nations and our region's defensive force called TITO (Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization) was called into its first mission to defend our shores. Because TITO only had four members, the mass size of the invading force was too much to handle by ourselves, so the nation of Grub went out to nearly a hundred regions posting on regional message boards, asking for assistance. That night and over the next day of battle, many outside nations answered the call and helped to defend the 10000 Islands. Eventually, the invaders put their tails between their legs and retreated.
Only because of the help of outsiders did the 10000 Islands remain free that night. After that time, TITO decided to help regions that were attacked unfairly and without reason. We made it our goal to help others like we had once been helped.
Nearly five years later, I am happy to announce that TITO has reached its 1000th mission milestone! This outstanding achievement is a NationStates record and is a testament to the fine nations that have served over our long history and to the freedom that they have helped to maintain in the regions of NationStates.
Well done to all TITO nations past and present! I am proud of you and you have made a good difference in NationStates! In honor of this historic achievement, all TITO nations that have earned a TITO battle star within the past 30 days will be awarded a special 1000th TITO mission medal in your war record that can be seen below.
This is also a message to all invaders. We have beaten you in the past and we will continue to beat you in the future. You will not be able to stifle freedom for long when you attack because where nations care about their regions you will lose. Freedom will always prevail in the end. Also keep in mind that our memory is long and our might is strong. Think twice before you attack the innocent.
Long live the TITO! Long live freedom! Long live the 10000 Islands!
Sincerely,
Grub
