The Cradle of Civilization under Siege

The Federation of Sukara - The Sovereignty

Sovereign Alexander III

Standing at a podium, the leader of the Federation of Sukara poises himself for a world broadcast, live. The familiar flashes of cameras illuminate the room for brief moments at a time as reporters from countless political entities prepare themselves for the speech.

Having been given the 'Okay' by the cameraman, Alexander the Third clears his throat, and begins to speak.

"Venerable nations of this world, noble delegates and illustrious leaders, I bring you news that the cradle of civilization, your famed Mesopotamia, has been invaded."

The room, unexpectedly, remains devoid of the familiar chattering of reporters.

"Four days ago and some odd hours, the Kingdom of Philip II, allied with the Holy Empire of Obedineta Makedonija attacked and invaded Mesopotamia. In recognition of this, the United Nations excommunicated the Kingdom of Philip II, and currently the region is in chaos. While we have attempted to call upon our neighbors for help, communications is apparently at a standstill. Sukara's military is becoming mobilized, but the two nations as allies are more than a match for us. We now call upon your help to assist, our dwindling economy can not handle these nations."

*****************************************
The Holy Republic of Obedineta Makedonija
----------"Makedonija na Makedoncite"-------------

Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Good
Political Freedoms: Few

The Holy Republic of Obedineta Makedonija is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, cynical population of 382 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Obedineta Makedonija's national animal is the golden lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the makedon.


Obedineta Makedonija is ranked 1st in the region and 24,274th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

*****************************************
The Kingdom of PHILIP II
---"www.historyofmacedonia.org"---

Civil Rights: Below Average
Economy: Reasonable
Political Freedoms: Excellent

The Kingdom of PHILIP II is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 119 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PHILIP II's national animal is the greeks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the stater.


PHILIP II is ranked 2nd in the region and 49,543rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

*****************************************
The Federation of Sukara
---"Nothing shall be impossible"---

Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Developing
Political Freedoms: Few

The Federation of Sukara is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 318 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Social Equality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.

Guns are banned, military spending is on the increase, voting is voluntary, and a government program is underway to revitalize Sukara's beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sukara's national animal is the Star Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Epsilon Sovereign.

Sukara is ranked 622nd in the region and 29,716th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

It is sorely needed. Our economy (as you can no doubt for yourself see) cannot support more than one third of our current navy, which is fit for a nation two thirds our size.

Sukara's economy has plummeted to "developing" where it was once "Frightening."

In any case, military assistance is sorely needed.

** secret transmittion to Sukara's government**

The Macabean Empire is willing to help as we have just gotten our economy to powerhouse (woohoo). In two months (maybe 4 hours in RL life) after a mobilization we will be able to provide 1,000,000 infantry, 2,000 Pz.VI Cheetah's (stats below), 1,000 Stug Ausf. B AA, 500 SS-101's (Anti tank aircraft) and 1,000 SS-102's (superior fighters).

All of this will be supplied by 30 million tons of petrol annually (tell me if this is too little), 200 million tons of MRE's, 200,000 replacement weapons (200,000 of each kind), 12,000 Pegaso Heavy Trucks and 30,000 350mm Howitzers (towed, each come with truck; to save petrol sometimes only half are moved and then the trucks go back for the other half).

The Macabean government has forseen a cost of some 1.5 billion a day (which is payable since I have 2.5 trillion dollar defense budget according to the site).

These troops will be at your major port in three months if you except (by tommorrow) and will be under your control although I will be looking at your actions and have the right to withdraw support if I see you using them ineptly.

The Empire of The Macabees is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 544 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 80%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, euthanasia is legal, and citizens must pay to enjoy The Macabees's pristine beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. The Macabees's national animal is the Imperial Eagle and its currency is the Shekel.

The Macabees is ranked 4th in the region and 23,982nd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

Telegram was sent to him giving one day to Mesopotamia or face a massive invasion.

No such telegram was ever recieved. The only telegram I recieved from my neighbors in my region happened countless years ago, from the Queendom of _Kish, who desired a trade pact.

Sukara will defend itself or it will fall. Following the motto of one of our neighbor nations, "We will defend ourselves." Strong words, but not followed.

Philip II and Obedineta Makedonija will have to get at least through me, and my allies, should they choose to stand with me.

The Allied States will support Sukara with any weapons and supplies needed. Also the Allied Navy (I focus on my Navy) has sailed the Excelsior Battlegroup, 12th Naval Squadron, 9th Naval Squadron, and 3rd Submarine Flotilla to defend convoy interests and should further help be needed, a quick response.

The situation in Mesopotamia.
A few days ago, Philip II and his ally invaded Mesopotamia. Got delegate status and then proceeded to kick every nation out and ban them from the region. I think the admin or mods figured out what he was doing cause both were kicked out of the UN for rules violations and Philip II lost delegate status. But those who were banned by him are still banned.
The banned nations are Sukaru
_uruk_
_lagash
and _kish.
_Eridu_ was banned but then removed.
The only nation not banned was _Susa_ .
In response I created Mesopotamia_ which has a password it can't be invaded. (Except by hackers).

Will to you take my aid or not??

Your support is greatly appreciated, and, while we cannot speak for our neighbors, your men are a welcome sight in Sukara.

We thank you for your assistance.

We are going to need all the support we can get on this one.
Right now, there is only of them in the region but he might have allies.

24-09-2003, 05:17
Well then I will proceed to invade and occupy Phillip II and I will proceed to add my own password on my own region.

EDIT: Not to get crazy I'm going to send the forces outlined in the other post to Mesopotamia where I hope you will allow as a launching base for a major offensive into Phillip II.

(( Sorry forgot to post the makeup of these fleets, and no this is not my entire navy, only a small part of it, I am modern tech ))

The Allied Government has approved the nation to commit any soldiers to the support of Sukara and his allies, do you accept this support or prefer only the Naval forces and supplies.

The Federation of Sukara

Current Military Strength: Reasonable
-Due to our straining economy (which may have been part of our excessive military spending), we have not the resources with which to combat this menace. Over seventy years of unremitting willpower to construct a massive war machine is something we can no longer afford. Our military is one to suffice a nation of around 212 million.

Ships: About 220
-60 Submarines (40 SSBN, 20 SSN)
-60 Destroyers
-50 Cruisers
-50 Frigates
-0 Carriers
LST's and other transports are not counted in the overall ship count.
-100 Troop Landers
-20 Armor Landers

Aircraft: About 1,400
-500 F/A-18 "Hornets" (Functioning as homeland defense intercept craft)
-250 F-15 "Eagles" (Functioning partially as homeland defense, offense when necessary)
-250 A-10 "Thunderbolt II's" (Functioning partially as homeland defense, offense when necessary)
-350 B-52 "Stratofortresses" (Functioning partially as homeland defense, offense when necessary)
-50 B-2 "Spirits" (Inactive due to massive annual maintenance costs)

Armor: About 1,000
700 Leopard II's
150 Howitzers (Standard Artillerys)
150 Hellrains (Rocket Artillerys)

Infantry: About 1,000,000
The Sukaran infantry combines what the nation of America designates the Army and the Marine Corps. It is used primarily for defense, simply because Sukara's economy can hardly support a major offensive off the home continent.
-600,000 General Infantry/Marines
-25,000 Rangers
-25,000 Snipers
-50,000 Grenadiers
-100,000 Pyrotechnics Engineers
-200,000 Paratroopers
-1,000 Hummer H-1's
-24 SmarTrucks

(Easily managable by my nation, this is about 1% not counting support forces.)
Five Civilized Nations
