A Declaration of Independence

21-11-2003, 23:01
The unanimous Declaration of The Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

We have not been wanting in attentions to our Llamaslovakian brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of Llamaslovakia, solemnly publish and declare, That we are, and of Right ought to be a Free and Independent State; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Incorporated States of Llamaslovakia, and that all political connection between them and the Incorporated States of Llamaslovakia, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as a Free and Independent State, we have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Hey! You stole my nation's Declaration! :wink:

Welcome to NS...

OOC: i'm actually not new to NS, i was Llamaslovakia... but i quit playing for a while and thus my nation was deleted. I have returned, though :D

IC:We thank you for your support. These are difficult times, and we are doing our best to establish a new government. (OOC: and a website...)

A Communiqué from the Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council.

We of the Democratic Republic of New Llamaslovakia are facing a tough situation; winter is fast approaching and we have not yet driven out the last supporters of the old regime. We are not asking for any military aid, but we do ask for one thing from whoever is sympathetic to our cause: we are in grave need of food and weapons.

We need the former worse than the latter, obviously, but without weapons we fear our revolution may fail. Please, if there is anyone who can help us, may they respond, and may we always trust in the Providence that led us to separate ourselves from the brutal totalitarians who ruled before us.

Hrstrovokia

The Federation of Hrstrovokia recognises the New Llamaslovakia State as an Independent entity, and as a welcome, is preparing to deliver aid to the fledgling nation.

The State Industrial and Agricultural Controller Lem Brakow and Foreign Minister Ibaraki have agreed to provide 7,000 tons of cereals and beef to New Llamaslovakia.

However, with regard to weapons, we are sorry. We will not provide weapons until we have a clearer view of this situation.

:wink:
OOC: sorry, i havent been here since august... what happened recently like this? like i said, i was a nation of a billion and then i stopped playing... or maybe you're referring to our declaration of independence :mrgreen: credit goes to Thomas Jefferson for that one.

IC:

Hrstrovokia, we thank you for your humanitarian aid. As I said previously, our need for food greatly outweighs our need for weapons. We appreciate your generosity.

We have gathered a Constitutional Convention to meet in Llamagrad sometime in the next six months. Hopefully we can emerge with the framework of a democracy that can last for centuries.

As for our military progress, about 80% of the country is now under the control of the people of New Llamaslovakia. The army of Llamaslovakia and its leaders are digging in in the south for a long, bloody fight. Hopefully they can be talked into exile, so that no more innocents have to die. The Llamaslovakian Army has committed countless war crimes against the people of New Llamaslovakia as it has made its retreat, and we pray that the international community can punish these people for what they have done. However, our main concern right now (militarily) is containment, and our main goal is to remain an independent nation through the winter.

From Alex de Large, Chairman, Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council.

The New Llamaslovakian Constitutional Convention will begin meeting next Monday, comprised of all of the members of the Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council, along with two representatives from each province. We hope to have a transitional government in place by the end of the year.

In military news, the Llamaslovakian Army Special Forces have assaulted the headquarters of the Southern Coastal Province branch of the Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council, taken Emile de la Cerise, the local leader of the FLRC hostage, and raped and killed his teenage daughter in front of him. They have issued demands for his release, but he has issued a statement that says for us not to worry about him, he is content to be a martyr to the revolution.

This rape, murder, and kidnapping is yet another incident in a long line of atrocities committed against the people of New Llamaslovakia by the Llamaslovakian Army. They have ceaselessly burned villages and farmland, they have raped and murdered daughters in front of their fathers, they have tried their hardest to destroy the land that now belongs to their fellow countrymen. We hope that, with an additional 1256 volunteers joining the New Llamaslovakian Liberation Army, we can force the abdicating government to release Governor de la Cerise, and agree to leave for exile, ending our nightmarish struggle for independence.

Thank you again for your compassion and support.

I Dictator Kaltios, recongize you as an independent nation. If certain things happen within a short while, I cannot promise to help you, but until then, we will assisst you as needed, mostly with ground combat. We have very dedicated troops.
22-11-2003, 03:40
I can also send over a supply of cruise missiles and send over some construction crews to start a launch site. They work for few and they will work quickly.
22-11-2003, 03:53
Dezarius, we thank you greatly for your support. We are not sure if cruise missiles are necessary at this point, remember our goal is just to get the Llamaslovakian Army out of the country and to stop the senseless violence.

That being said, it is becoming increasingly obvious that exile is not an option; the current leader of the Llamaslovakian Army, Marshal Winston X. Parker, has said that he will continue to wage war as long as possible to "reassume control of our great fatherland"

We will accept your ground combat troops, and we hope they can help us drive these traitors and their avarice out of our country. We hope maybe they can train our freedom fighters to fight more efficiently, and secure our victory and independence.

UPDATE: The Llamaslovakian Army High Command has just released to the world media a video of the execution of Governor de la Cerise. We are deeply saddened by the loss of this great patriot.

We will send our Commandos to train your infantry if you wish. They may be few, but they are good.
22-11-2003, 04:02
We will give them the most grand state welcome we possibly can, given the circumstances.
22-11-2003, 04:05
Understandable.

OOC: Good NS saying for our new national brethren: Another day, another revolution.

The Ecosocialist Republic of Biotopia magnaomously welcomes you to the international stage. We wish you nothing but peace and prosperity in this turn of historical events for your people. May they find contentment and insight in the building of a unified but diverse nation.

Supreme Chancellor.

We thank you, biotopia, for your recognition.

Dezarius, when will your troops be arriving?
22-11-2003, 04:24
OOC: I have to leave, so I'm gonna wrap this storyline up now.
IC:

from Alex de Large, Chairman, Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council.

Finally buckling under pressure from the international community, Field Marshal Winston X. Parker has indicated that he and all of his troops will leave the country by the end of the month, turning over complete control of New Llamaslovakia to the Free Llamaslovakian Revolutionary Council.

This abdication seals the creation of the Democratic Republic of New Llamaslovakia, and brings about a new era of peace and freedom in New Llamaslovakia. Hopefully by the end of the year our transitional government will be in place, and we can begin laying the foundations for a representative democracy. These are trying times for the people of New Llamaslovakia, but our resolve will see us through.

We have moved up the date for the meeting of the Constitutional Convention to next week. Hopefully, the sooner we accomplish our goal of a representative democracy, the sooner we can get back on our feet and function as a member of the international community. We have applied for membership in the United Nations.

We thank Dezarius, Biotopia, Tiburon, and Hrstrovokia for their support in these trying times.
22-11-2003, 04:52
You are welcome, Comrade.


If you ever need assisstance, funds, or supplies, I can assure you, that my country will help you anyway possible. Congrats on your victory.

-Dictator Kaltios.
