Tanoa Einsatzgruppen

The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was a centralized political, military, and economic totalitarian dictatorship that governed Tanoa from 1944 until its dissolution on 24 November 2024. Established under the leadership of Jan Paap and later ruled by Eef Paap, it developed into a territorially anchored regime with extensive overseas influence through military capacity, resource extraction, and financial networks. At its height, the organization exercised direct control or decisive influence across multiple regions, including parts of Africa, South America, and the South Atlantic.

The organization’s administrative center was Georgetown, which served as the primary site for state ceremonies, leadership transitions, and institutional coordination. The Einsatzgruppen maintained a large security and military apparatus, supported by domestic weapons manufacturing and a resource-driven economy focused on gold and minerals extracted through forced labor.

Name

The name Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was used for the organization’s state and security hierarchy governing Tanoa. Within the system’s internal terminology, the term referred both to the ruling apparatus and to the broader institutional framework that connected administrative agencies, security forces, and overseas operations.

Background

Jan Paap in Argentina (1944)

In 1944, Jan Paap deserted from the Eastern Front, ending his Wehrmacht service (1936–1944), and relocated to Argentina. On 13 May 1944 he reached Rada Tilly, where he established contacts among local supporters and met individuals connected to the family of Chiche Alem.

During this period, Paap developed plans to establish a new centralized state structure outside existing jurisdictions. He reportedly learned Spanish and focused on recruiting collaborators and deserters.

Formation

Expedition and arrival in Tanoa (August 1944)

After assembling an initial force (c. 3,400 members), Paap organized an expedition from Argentina to locate a remote island territory. The group reached the mainland of Tanoa on 9 August 1944. The first island they arrived at was Ravi-ta.

Early movements included exploration of local settlements such as Ipota, which became an early focal point for labor organization. During initial consolidation, the organization relied on coercive labor for construction and infrastructure, including the building of facilities intended for leadership use.

Early personnel and contacts

During early operations around Tanoa’s volcanic region, Paap’s expedition encountered Sergio Arias, later identified as an SS Gruppenführer in the Allgemeine SS. Arias was incorporated into the wider hierarchy as the organization expanded recruitment and institutional structure.

History

The 1940s

Following arrival in August 1944, the Einsatzgruppen established core administrative and security structures. In 1945, Georgetown was founded by Jan Paap and named after Georg Schäfer. Georgetown became the administrative capital and ceremonial center of the regime.

The 1950s

In 1950, Jan Paap proposed the Reichsvilla project, which was dismissed after resistance activity increased. In 1952, he ordered a program to bring dinosaurs back to life; by 1956, the first successful prototype was created within the Dinosaurier-Truppen program.

The 1970s

In the early 1970s, the Tanoa Einsatz Expansionist Campaign was launched, including the annexation of surrounding islands and activities involving Fiji. This phase contributed to regional instability and culminated in the Suva Crisis. In 1973, the crisis was reportedly addressed after the development of advanced communication systems linking Tanoa and Fiji.

In 1976, the regime introduced a compulsory population registration document known as the Neger Buch, requiring native inhabitants of Tanoa to carry an identity record containing residence information, birth year, age, and medical history. Contemporary accounts alleged that medical history could be used as a basis for punitive enforcement, though such practices were not consistently documented in official records.

The 1980s

In January 1980, Jan Paap retired. On 6 November 1980, Eef Paap was promoted to Führer during a ceremony in Georgetown.

Under Eef Paap, the organization intensified militarization and expanded internal security measures. The 1980s were associated with large-scale movement of military convoys and equipment toward northern Tanoa and leadership-controlled areas, including the private island Ravi-Ta. Forced labor remained central to mining, construction, and bunker development.

Eef Paap pursued policies described by internal sources as social “purification” campaigns, including efforts aimed at eradicating homosexuality from the island during the 1980s and 1990s.

In 1986, Eef Paap declared that Evert Angedrik Noord was banned from Tanoa.

The 1990s

During the 1990s, the Einsatzgruppen expanded specialized structures connected to Mont Tanoa. A distinct department, the Vulkane Einsatzgruppen, was established for operations around the volcano, under the command associated with the Bausatz.

The 2000s

In the early 2000s, the regime expanded legal controls and surveillance, describing itself internally as a highly regulated and militarized state.

In 2003–2004, major infrastructure projects were completed across Tanoa and Fiji, including road construction and airport renewal. Forced labor was used extensively; by early 2004, Fiji received a reported total of 110 km (68.44 mi) of newly paved roads used primarily for military logistics.

In 2006, resistance activity in southern Tanoa escalated, including seizure of a local police station and acquisition of firearms. In response, Eef Paap ordered the Luftwaffe of Tanoa to bomb the area; resistance forces had reportedly dispersed into jungle regions beforehand. After these events, the regime invested in drones and surveillance systems; by 2008, domestically manufactured drones were deployed to locate resistance groups. Captured individuals were publicly executed in Georgetown according to regime records and contemporaneous accounts.

By the end of the 2000s, the regime reported extensive automation and motorization of factories, while maintaining coercive labor systems.

The 2010s

In 2011, Juan Jose Grenillon was released from prison for criminal activities.

In 2014, the Air Fiji Flight 27 crash resulted in the death of the family of Mark Hugerinus Paap. The Einsatzgruppen publicly attributed the incident to “natives” allegedly using captured Luftwaffe equipment, while internal narratives connected the event to Einsatzgruppen military action. Following the incident, the regime received equipment from France and the United States for operations against resistance forces.

From 2014 to 2017, the organization fought the Tanoan Conquest of the Falklands (also known as the Second Falkland War), a conflict with the United Kingdom over control of the Falkland Islands. Tanoan forces occupied the western portion of the islands before a ceasefire in 2017; the conflict reportedly increased recruitment among Argentinian supporters.

In 2019, Mark Hugerinus Paap attempted to enter Tanoa to investigate the Air Fiji Flight 27 incident. He was ambushed by patrolling soldiers of the Tanoanische-Urwaldkorps and retreated via Rereki to New Caledonia. By the end of 2019, Mark established the Fish Collective with John Hugerinus Paap after multiple failed entry attempts.

Dissolution (24 November 2024)

On 24 November 2024, coordinated resistance operations led by the Fish Collective targeted the organization’s senior leadership. High-ranking generals and central administrators were killed, resulting in the rapid collapse of central command. Native populations and resistance groups dismantled remaining administrative and security structures and retook control of Tanoa.

Subsequent disclosures brought the organization’s internal practices to international attention, leading to widespread condemnation and the collapse of remaining influence networks abroad. By late 2024, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen had ceased to exist as an organized entity.

Government and politics

Leadership

The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was led by a Führer:

• Jan Paap (1944–1980)
• Eef Paap (1980–24 November 2024)

Leadership transitions and major ceremonies were commonly held in Georgetown.

Institutions

Government functions were carried out through military and administrative bodies. Economic governance and fiscal control were overseen by the Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa (Imperial Treasury Office).

Population administration

A central mechanism of control was compulsory registration via the Neger Buch (introduced 1976), which recorded residency, identity, and medical history. The system supported labor assignment, movement restriction, and surveillance.

Military and security

The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen maintained a multi-branch military and internal security structure responsible for territorial control, overseas operations, and enforcement.

Known formations and components include:

• Luftwaffe of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen (air power and strike capacity)
• Tanoanische-Urwaldkorps (jungle patrol and field operations)
• Vulkane Einsatzgruppen (operations around Mont Tanoa and resource zones)

The regime also invested in drones and surveillance systems, with domestically manufactured drones deployed by 2008.

Economy

The Tanoa economy under the Einsatzgruppen was centralized and resource-driven, centered on gold and mineral extraction. Forced labor was used for mining and large-scale construction.

Internal valuation practices treated gold as having minimal monetary value domestically, with one cited internal equivalency claiming 6 kg of gold equaled €0.68 within Tanoa’s economic system.

Fiscal and treasury operations were managed by the Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa.

Infrastructure

Major infrastructure projects included road expansion and airport renewal on Tanoa and Fiji. By 2004, reported road construction in Fiji totaled 110 km (68.44 mi), primarily serving military logistics.

Transport regulations introduced in 2007 restricted native use of main roads at night and limited daytime access to supervised windows.

Human rights and forced labor

Forced labor and slavery were integral to the organization’s economic and infrastructure projects, including mining, construction, and bunker development. Resistance sources and later disclosures described systematic coercion, punitive enforcement, and executions associated with labor performance and surveillance systems.
