California declares independance from Catholicstan

09-11-2003, 02:08
NOTE: When we say USA, we are using it as an insult to Catholicstan, since the USA no longer exists, and everyone in my region veiws the former USA as an Imperialistic country. The Kingdom of Catholicstan is Imperialist, but still offended to be called the USA.

We have seded from the USA because they place us under the tyranny of Imperialism. No longer shall we fight in wars we do not support! No longer shall we pay taxes to a leader who wasn't elected!

Today, we begin to write our Constitution. Here is what we have so far:

Amendment I:
There shall be no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government.

Amendment II:
There shall be Seperation of Church and State.

Amendment III:
Slavery is hereby outlawed in this Great Land of California.

Amendment IV:
There shall be no discrimination based on Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation or state of Disibility.

Amendment V:
Marraige shall be between a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. A person is allowed to have more than one spouse, but they shall recieve the tax breaks as if they were married to one spouse.

Amendment VI:
The right to bear arms for defensive purposes. Anybody who has a violent criminal record does not have this right.

Amendment VII:
All citizens are allowed to vote unless they are convicted felons.

Amendment VIII:
All people living in California at the time this great document was written are hereby Californian citizens. To become a citizen, one must legally enter the country and live here for 5 years.

The Republic of Simsington hereby recognizes Californian autonomy. In this ongoing war against neo-Conservatism that both our nations face, we shall send 3000 ground troops;2400 infantry, 200 tanks(takes 3 people to man each tank) and we shall send your nation 1000 AK-47's and 1,000,000 rounds for your soliders to use in them. Our forces must not be used to invade the United States and grab their land. We will not declare war on the USA.

We have got word the United States of America has closed their embassy in Simsington City, our capital. We have just done the same to them in Washington.

What is an Ameri? I have heard references to the old and long since dead nation of America. There are thousands of United States....

Which one are you spliting off from?

Troy does not recognize California as an independent nation. You have no right to secede over the pettiness of one flawed leader!

Behold! It is to my recollection that California democratically elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor! Surely you are hypocritic when you brand your president as incompetent when you elected an Austrian movie star!

We'd also like to know why the United States has not taken action against the heathen Californians...

the USA will not take action because she has troops pinned down defending the oil fields of Venuezwela, Indonesia, Iraq and Kurdistan.

however, we,Simsington, have satalites that tell us that the USA has moved 1 hundred thousand troops out of Kurdistan and they are headed for California.

Okay, well... as a moderate, I officially recognize Californian independence... but I really don't care, since my American puppet, Shining America United, is comprised of the Atlantic States...
09-11-2003, 04:30
The Empire of Texas and Florida supports you independence.However,if any of you actions you do is a threat or insult to our nation in the future,we have no choice but to declare war and invade you nation.

Here are some comments and questions from the press of Nianacio.
1) What is the United States of Ameri?
2) Sede is not in the dictionary we looked in. It says perhaps you meant to type in seed. Have you been spreading seeds that you acquire from a base of operations in the "USA"?
3) You used to be under the control of a dictator?
4) Amendments are added to a constitution, not part of the original document.
5) Will members of a religious organization that calls for murder be allowed the free exercise of their religion?
6) Are people allowed to peaceably assemble wherever they want - for example, on top of public toilets?
7) We believe "seperation" should be "separation".
9) We skipped 8 on purpose.
10) Will you be executing those who discriminate based on "Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation or state of Disibility"?
11) What has prompted you to go with the spelling "marraige" for a modified version of the word "marriage" (if this is what the root word was)?
12) What about the right to bear arms for defensive purposes?
13) Is citizenship hereditary, similarly to kingship?
14) The "USA" would be welcome to defend our oil fields, if only it warned us that it would do so before sending soldiers into our nation.
15) We hope you do not take offense at our comments and questions.
09-11-2003, 04:35
The Confederacy of Pimpistan supports your independance, but we can not send troops, since the Prostitutes of Pimpistan Labor Union has called a massive strike, since the ho's are demanding to get to keep a minimum of 5% of their earnings. The current limit is 0%; i.e., a pimp can legally get all the money. so basically, my point is that we need to use our army to get the ho's working again!

Ryanania does not recognize the rebellious state of California and will send 100,000 Marine Corps infantry, 500 LAV-25 APC's, 500 F/A 18-Hornets, 300 Cobra attack helicopters, 500 Marine Force Recon (Special Forces), 8,632,000 Army infantry, 1500 M1A2 Abrams, 1000 M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, 1000 Crusader Self-Propelled howitzers, 300 LAV-AD Blazer AA-guns, 50 Patriot Missile Systems, 400 MIM-24 Chaparall Missile Systems, 500 MLRS Systems, 10,000 Humvees equipped with varying weapons, 400 Apache Attack Helicopters, 1000 Alpha Force (Special Forces), 200 JSF's, 200 F-22 Raptors, 500 F-16 Fighting Falcons, 200 B-2 Spirit Bombers, 150 F-117A Nighthawk Bombers, 200 B-52 Stratofortresses, and 1 Boeing ABL. We will position 4 Nimitz Class CVN's, 5 modernized Iowa Class BB's, 15 California Class CGN's, 20 Spruance Class Destroyers, 20 Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigates, 8 Seawolf Class SSN's, 1 Leviathan Class SSBN, 20 Pegasus Class Hydrofoils, 30 Cyclone Class Patrol Boats, and 200 Seawolves (Special forces) off the Coast of California.

This decision was made by the High Elder himself, as he believes that the fools in Liberal California are disrupting the world's order, and that if they succeed in their secession, the world will be worse off, as they will obviously help degenerate the moral fabric of God's People.

(OOC: is this the thread in which the war will take place? Also, is there an actual NS nation that you are seceeding from?)
09-11-2003, 04:56
we have chosen the name Liberal California because we don't like conservatism and we are naming our nation after California. California(the state) was part of the old USA, but it is veiwed positively in our history books.
09-11-2003, 04:56
The Bear Flag Republic fully supports Ryanania's decision, and will, with Ryanania's permission, place her own troops under Ryananian command for the duration of the conflict.
09-11-2003, 05:11
what do we have here? we are prepared to wipe you heathens from the face of God's Flat Earth. by the way, as of now, we will have closed our embasies in the Pimp Confederation(Pimpistan) and in the Republic of Simsington. we have not moved troops out of Iraq, as there is to much oil there. but we will stop this rebellion.

due do Catholicstan's lack to recognize California autonomy,her democratic superior, Simsington, has put troops into the Dispute Island, which Catholicstan claims yet we have complete control over it. this modifes the Pimp City Peace Treaty, which was signed 2 years ago in nuetral Pimp City, to end the 4th Simsington-Catholicstan War. Simsington got half of Fala Island in this treaty, and got Dispute Island, but 1 year ago, Catholicstan re-claimed Dispute Island. As part of the deal, Simsington could not put troops into Dispute Island. We are still not declaring war, but we and our far-superior military have changed the Pimp City Peace Treaty.

by the way, here is the newest weapon we have added to our arsenal, along with satalites to shoot them down:

-We shall withdraw troops from so-called Disputed Island.

-Catholicstan will withdraw it's claim from Disputed Island.

-Catholicstan will keep Saint Leo Naval Base on the southern coast of Gray Island(the northernmost island in Californian hands) and Mary Naval & Army Base on the western coast of Davis Island(the central island).

-Simsington will give Catholicstan the blueprints for our 40-year-old F-203 Diamondback Fighter and they will recieve a shipment of 20 of them. These we no longer need, since we use the FI-211 Blood River Fighter-Interceptor.

Go to www.geocities.com/imageserver2003/ca_freedom to see how the map will change if Catholicstan excepts this bargain we are offering her.

-Catholicstan recognize Californian autonomy.

-Simsington will let Catholicstan claim the lower 40% of Unclaimed Island 1, which is normally reserved for countries moving to the region.

I'm well aware that everyone wants a piece of real world territories. I have plenty of my own. Like Venezuela. So Simsington, please feel free to get the hell of my soil.

Since I recognize the nation of California and Alaska as the true holder of the Californian territory, I can't recognize your new nation. You're a Conservative bashing nation anyway, so not like that helped your case.
10-11-2003, 03:00
the Republic of Liberal California doesn't seem to be claiming the state called California in the former United States. they probably just named their country after it.

As we speak the Marx class dreadnought HNS Fredrick Engels and her battlegroup are being prepared for deployment(OOC: Within 48 hours game time). Additionally we will be deploying the Carpathia class aircraft carrier HNS Baku in two weeks time.

Any attempts to limit California's sovreignty will be met with resistance.

Amendment IV:
There shall be no discrimination based on Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation or state of Disibility.

So I can discriminate based on race or ethnicity?

Also, no disability may be used as a motive for discrimination? So if I was looking for a factory worked I could be sued if I picked a person with two arms over a person with one?
