The Commonwealth of Enigmatic States would like to alert fellow members of Nation States to the increase in air traffic on Christmas Eve and to urge caution before intercepting any unidentified sled being pulled by eight reindeer. Whereas gaining possession of the toys being transported by this vehicle would greatly enhance the economy of any nation if it were to divert and confiscate its cargo, CES encourages each nation to abolish import tariffs and allow safe passage of this single aircraft piloted by Kris Kringle (aka Santa Claus and Saint Nick).

CES would be extremely disappointed with any NS member that would cause any delay in the delivery of our leader’s Easy Bake Oven and Barbie Corvette (batteries not included), and will encourage the Local Chapter of the North Pole Yuletide Seasonal Labor Union to permanently inscribe any offending nation’s name into the Naughty List.

CES wishes all members of Nation States a joyous Christmas, just don’t mess with the jolly white bearded fat man dressed in red.

Very original!

We have guaranteed safe passage to Saint Nicolas's aircraft as the government of Jeruselem is not into the business to blasting Catholic Saints out of the air.

God bless

We also are allowing safe passage to St. Nicholas, for the same reason as Jeruselem. Cherry Ridge will retaliate if St. Nicholas is harmed.

I will personally make sure that my nation will not hinder this jolly fat man in his journey across the world.

i dont want him to find a missle up his arse :eek: :D

Saint Nicholas has been cleared on a priority one flight plan over Serenity State Airspace. We remind fellow nations that ICBMs with large beards will not be tolerated.

Serenity Foreign Office.

The Most Serene Republic of Razzberia will welcome Mr. Claus into our airspace and give him an escort worthy of any foreign dignitary. It is our hope that this will expand good will towards all.

GOVERNMENT MESSAGE-
St. Nicholas will not have to go through customs. He is given free passage.

Saint Nicolas is exempt from all customs duties and taxation in Jeruselem for the day of 25th of December, 2004. Immigration checks will not be applied and he has a special hononary citizen status.

God bless

The LaRocan Air Force will be happy to provide an escort for Santa through our airspace. It has been LB's policy to provide assistance to other holiday celebrities such as the Easter Bunny, Hanukah Harry, and Kwanza Kwuame, and will continue to do so in the future.

Official News Broadcast from the Treznor Ministry of Public Information

The Emperor authorised a heightened state of emergency today as satellite and ground-based radar identified an unknown vehicle approaching Treznor airspace, apparently on a direct course for Devonton. Military intercept planes were engaged to fend off the unknown craft, but never made visual contact. The foreign craft was warned several times to identify itself and veer off, but refused to acknowledge contact. Surface-to-air missiles were fired, forcing the craft to perform evasive maneuvers. At least one missile was thought to hit, but failed to bring the vehicle down. It was last observed heading due north before it dropped off military screens.

The Emperor took this opportunity to praise the quick response of our national defense forces.

We don't know who they are or what they wanted, but they learned what most of the rest of the world has already come to understand: we will not be threatened and we will not be intimidated. Respect will be met with respect, and force with force. We focus on peace and prosperity in a turbulent world, but we are prepared to defend ourselves and our allies.

This has been a fine example of the outstanding leadership and capabilities within our military command, and the soldiers who carry out their orders. I am proud to say that we have the finest troops on this or any other world. To the men and women in the armed services, I toast your success this day.
In spite of the skirmish, the Emperor refused to delay or cancel the traditional Midwinter Bloodfeast, to be televised tonight at 1800 hours TST (Treznor Standard Time).

To Santa Claus, Greetings,
Please be aware that, should you find youself in Ursalean airspace, to be mindful of other creatures flying in the vicinity. We welcome you to enjoy your stay over Ursalea, but be aware that our own gift-giving soul, St. Joxon, will also be making his rounds tonight. If you happen to see him, please give him a wide berth. We understand that you will be utilizing the flying power of some mystical reindeer, and that may seem all-too tempting a meal for our dragon-like friend. We shall send out a general message by all available couriers to tell our citizens to leave out extra treats for St. Joxon so he will not further consider eating tonight.
Also, be aware that, should you decide to leave presents, we will welcome the gifts but, as per Ursalean tax law, a tax will be levied according to the value of left gits. We shall send our bill via your North Pole, Earth address with conversion of Talent amount in dollars.
Thank you for coming our way, and be safe.

The Ursalean Government


General memo to the citizens of Ursalea,

Please be aware that St. Joxon will be making his usual stops as per tradition this evening. You are encouraged to leave extra treats for him. We believe we do not need to remind those that have lost cattle, horses, katonka and other livestock in the past to keep your herds safely locked away. We understand this may be inconvenient, but do remember St. Joxon is, after all, a dragon. Be safe and your government wishes you a happy winter holdiay.

The Government of Ursalea

Happy 1505!

OOC: That'd be an interesting reason for starting an accidental nuclear war - unidentified small object causes retaliation against likely suspects, turns out to be Saint Nick and not a Trident D5. ;)

OOC: We've never yet started a war over a single incident, and we don't intend to start now. :-)

Just seemed to fit with this.

Uh, my military kind of freaked out and shot down St. Nick with an anti-aircraft gun. I apologize, will send out fat, bald and disgruntled man in his place. Happy holidays.

St. Nicholas has not been shot down, we still have him on our Radar. Must have been an imposter or an escaped mental institute patient.

Crimmnd has come under the impression that this 'Santa' was the pilot of the craft attempting to breach the defenses of our largest city. We request immediate knowledge as to how many more of these Santas are about, so we can adequetly intercept them.

The United Republics of Tiburon recognizes the neutrality of the Republic of the North Pole as well as its President, Santa Claus. However, due to heightened security concernsdue to the breakup of the United Alliance of Progressive States, Sled Force One will be escorted by Tiburonese fighter jets when it is flying over the Tiburonese state of Alliance State.

We also offer, at this time, a general space transport vehicle (GSTV) at this time for his travels to non-Earth based populated areas.
