We in the Free Republic have been unable to reconcile the differences between our sovereign constitution and the constitution of the UnAPS. We are therefore withdrawing from the UnAPS , effective immediately.

Slaine Ilek
Representative to the UnAPS, Ilek-Vaad

The Nation of Phyrric offers relations and terms of friendship with Ilek-Vaad. may the future between our two nations be prosperous and rewarding. We request an exchange of ambassadors and free movement in the straights between Phyrric and Ilek-Vaad.

OOC note for UnAPS members. As Antiquity is to the west of Haven and there are no other nations that control the west is present. The path to Allanea SW coast will effectively be blocked if Ilek-Vaad supports this measure.

Hattia requests that Ilek-Vaad abstain from any relation with the traitor Phyrric, noting that they are the cause of the death of hundreds of thousands of your troops.

We don't hold this against IV and would like to maintain positive relations with them...

OOC: How so, wouldn't that be a matter to take up with Jondera. And don't think that my ships will let you keep us blocked in like that...

Ask Edolia to drag the map out of the archives and look at it, it will be self explanatory. There is straights that must be passed through to get to Allanea. I am on the west side of these straights, Ilek-Vaad is on the east side. Jondera is further north and appears not to be active in this conflict, and if he is, Phyrric has never had issues with Jondera and we have shared two alliances and expect a state of neutrality..if not cooperation if Jondera so desires it.

But this is moot as Ilek-Vaad has not accepted.

Haven Map (http://img55.photobucket.com/albums/v168/hatski/Haven.jpg)

There, to get to the SW coast, you go up past Jondera, there seems to be a lot of sea between IV and the edge of the map, probably enough that I could slip through if I needed to. I would hope that IV wouldn't fire on his (former: hopefully not) ally...

"The Knootian government regrets that it had to come to this. The Knootian government sincerely hopes to maintain relations with the Free Republic now that both nations have resigned from the United Alliance of Progressive States.

The government feels that Ilek-Vaad and Knootoss share the same moral judgement of this situation. We sincerely regret the Vaadian casualties in the Allanean conflict, and their names will be added to the war memorial that is to be opened soon in Utrecht"
~Foreign Ministry press release.

((EDIT: AAARGH. Link that pic please... :wink: I would like to suggest that the end of the map is not the end of the world, also.))

Good, I always wanted a map to look at for Haven to recollect my thoughts and strategy.

Anyways, Edolia posted a map of Phyrric in relation to Haven a while back. It is in the archives where it was tossed. Knootoss is correct, the edge of the map is not the edge of the world. Phyrric is everything to the west of that map...right off the very edge and south of that black mass that jets out from Allanea.

Well, of course the end of the map is not the end of the world, generally.

There is quite a bit of space in there. It'd be much easier to blockade nearby Jondera I suppose if you are everything west on the map...

Anything attempting to enter Haven Strait from the South would come very close my region, Tropical Paradise, and Regional Oceanic Territorial Rights.

Therefore I think Phyrrics invasion seems unrealistic, as my forces would have undoubtedly seen him, attempted contact, closed range, and investigated further...

Ilek-Vaad thanks Phyrric, Knootoss and all the other nations that offer us their continued support. The Free Republic currently welcomes all ambassadors to Lassic and we did not at any time expel any ambassadors.

With the resignation from the UnAPS the Free Republic has no treaties or alliances of any type, nor do we feel we shall be making any anytime soon. We will keep our ports and waters open to trading vessels of all nations.

However the maritime law of the Free Republic clearly states that non-allied vessels are not allowed within 100 miles of the coast of Ilek-Vaad. Our Naval Guard have been duly instructed that there are NO 'allied' nations and to sink any warship that violates our waters.

We are , as always , open to negotiations. We will meet with any ambassador from any nation that wishes to attempt to work out an agreement to traverse our territorial waters.

We will weigh each request on the merits of the arguments by the ambassadors.

I will re-iterate, NO vessels of war are to come within 100 miles of our coastline. The Naval Guard will not hesitate to defend our sovereign waters and we are in no mood for misunderstandings, make certain your naval offices do not have any.

Aside from retaining any ambassadors that wish to stay, we will once again folow our isolationist policies, our borders are closed except at the ports of Coventry and Costa Tula and international air-flights may come only into Lassic's 4 international airports. Visa's must be obtained 180 days prior to travel in the Free Republic and can be revoked at any time for any reason.

The UnAPS was the only alliance that we were affiliated with, and we are sorely grieved by having to leave. We do not trust outsiders and we have seen scant little proof to trust them now. We appreciate our worthy allies and their genuine efforts to make the UnAPS stand for freedom from oppression, imperialism and tyranny. We only wish that all members had been dedicated to these goals.

Invasion? If you are south of the Haven Straights, then you are south of Island States and not me.

Very much noted....especially the 100 miles :)

Hattian ships will then be diverted as not to violate IV's waters.

Meanwhile the Hattian ambassador in IV (I assume I have an embassy) has requested permission for Hattian military ships to pass through IV's waters, reminding the IV government that...

Hattia has been against the annexation of Allanea.

The only reason Hattia has gone to war was to honor our MDP with Edolia.

Hattia, obviously has no hostile intent against IV and has previously asked to maintain positive relations.

If this were allowed, it would save a great many Hattian soldiers life, as we wouldn't have to pass close to Phyrric, and the war would be concluded quicker.

We sympathize with Hattia, but we require more of a reason than that. If Hattia were in imminent danger and access to our territorial waters would help, it would be a different case. At this point there is ample room outside of our territorial waters for any action by your vessels.

Damaged vessels that belong to Hattia and are impaired will be excepted and aided by the Naval Guard.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ilek-Vaad

Hmm, how much space is between IV and Phyrric?

The ambassador from Phyrric enters the chambers of his counterpart.

"I have word that someone would like to come to Ilek-Vaad and engage in a summit of mutual interest and negotiations. Pyrrhus himself requests an audience."

Hmm, how much space is between IV and Phyrric?

600 maybe? less one hundred now ;)

The range of fighters and bombers....well, you can take a wild guess :)

Hmm, well you are only assisting Phyrric by forcing our ships closer to his defenses...

Anyway, I respect your decision and won't violate your waters.

The ambassador from Phyrric enters the chambers of his counterpart.

"I have word that someone would like to come to Ilek-Vaad and engage in a summit of mutual interest and negotiations. Pyrrhus himself requests an audience."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs looks non-plussed, she simply shrugs and says

"The Phyrrus may comes as he pleases, so long as he does not arrive aboard a vessel of war."

The Ambassador notes that everyone in the House of the Republic seems, angry, sullen and even more hostile and distant than usual.

Ilek Vaad, check your telegrams.

OOC: checked and replied to.

/me puts a fleet of ships 100.001 miles from Ilek-Vaad :P

we'll be watching closely to see if they drift....................

/me puts a fleet of ships 100.001 miles from Ilek-Vaad :P

OOC: Would like to know how they got there, but ok.........

IC: The trip to Ilek Vaad by Pyrrhus has been cancelled.

If Pyrrhus reconsiders, he will be welcomed in Lassic, so long as he comes in peace.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ilek-Vaad

Mintar's official statement of regret was notably lacking in tone and detail.

Kelanis is making preparations to construct a trans-capital rail line from Lorraine to Lassic, with Ilek-Vaad's permission.

Also, Kelanis is willing to open its waters to its neighbor for free shipping and warship transit, if Ilek-Vaad will permit the same from Kelanisian ships.

Both would seem permittable. We would prefer as close ties as possible with our closest neighbors.The regional capital of Coventry is cloest to Kelanis, we would suggest a rail line to there.There is already bullet-train service between all cities in the Free Republic, and linking lines up in Coventry would be the easiest and most cost effective.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ilek-Vaad

Trip will be rescheduled after conference with Pauldustllah is complete. Pyrrhus will come in peace.

To: Minister, Foreign Affairs, Ilek Vaad
From: Mai Rei Cho, SecState and MFA, Nuevo Kowloon

RE: We understand your desire for privacy, and will honour it. In the event that Ilek Vaad wishes to establish permanent diplomatic relations with us, we would be honoured to host your ambassadorial staff. Our ports will remain open to your commercial vessels, and to any non-hostile IV military vessels seeking entry for reasons of repair, refueling, or resupply-(as well as Rest and Recreation).
We remember the honourable work you did alongside our soldiers in the liberation of Corcyra.

Secretary of State, Nueovo Kowloon,

We are pleased that you wish to maintain a friendly relationship with the Free Republic. We were very impressed by your soldiers at Corcyra. However we have no plans at this time to open any embassies in new nations. We are committed to keeping our international relations in as small a number as possible. We have no problem with allowing your nation to open an embassy in our nation and we will in no way hinder trade (beyond the standard 30% tariff on foreign goods.) from your nation.

We may in the future reconsider our position on new embassies , but for now we do not see it as being in our best interests.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ilek-Vaad
