Official Statement from Omzian United Democratic Republic

We see this movement by the Holy Republic of Sniper Country to be ighly suspecious, but hostile, of course.

In long times, Omzian Democratic Republic has had not have a good relation with the Holy Republic of Sniper Country and we can understand their stance. However, combined with the recent attempt by Sniper Country to "gather" infomation from Omzian Democratic Republic in exchange for the production rights of their F-13 Bearcat aircraft, as a bait. However, we denied. Second time, they withdrew their citizens from the embassy, so we did the same.

We see Sniper Country to have no legimate reason to attack or show hostilities to Omzian Democratic Republic, as Omzian Democratic Republic has not showed a single hostility with Sniper Country within 15 or even 20 years, after the Royal Palm Civil War.

But let it be assured, we are prepared to defend ourselves in case of an attack. Any violation of our waters, airspace, and land will not be tolerated, and will be treated as warmongering, as we have done nothing to Sniper Country.

Hearing this news, of course, tensions has rise. Omzian Armed Forces has set their alert level to DEFCON 3, from 4. 682,000 Omzian National Guard Reserve forces are now changed to a READ status. Of course, maritime patrol by ASW aircraft, and bomber aircraft will increase, along with smaller submarines and watercrafts.

In case of a warmongering invasion by Sniper Country, let it be assured, the invasion force will not succeed.

Good day.

Newly empowered President Ross Oliver watched the SCNN brief, and continued eating his slice of Pizza. "There they go, acting up again. Somone really oughta just go over there and bitch slap every single one of them" he told his CoS.

"Do you have any idea how much that would cost? I mean, I know we made tons on the...disease incident, but still. Bitch slapping isn't cheap these days."

"Your right. Lets just go ahead and declare oue support, and what not."

"Your the boss."

"Yes, I am."
_________

After a brief review of the enitre situation, we have decided that Sniper Country is acting out of their bounds, and have no right making any threatening remarks or movements towards the nation of Omz222. Despite not having many open relations with Omz222, we off our full support should the Sniper Countrians continue to hold this stance. Thank you and goodnight

President Ross Oliver

Immediately following the statements by the governments of Sniper Country and OMZ222, the office of Jay Slack, the minister of international affairs released the following statement:

"... in light of the recent hostilities between Sniper Country and Omz222, it is the opinion of our government that all unnecessary travel to the two nations should be suspended until peace has a chance to regain a stronghold in their relationship. While travel is ill-advised in both nations, Zeltec will stand on the side of Sniper Country should there come a time when our aid is sought. As far as the nation of OMZ222 goes, Zeltec urges that they do everything necessary to reconcile their differences with SC...."

Statement from Mr Charles Burke, Secretary of State, Republic of Adejaani

"It is, most unfortunate to hear of such circumstances between Sniper Country and our good friends in Omz222. The Adejaani and Omzian peoples have enjoyed close friendships and ties for a very long time now, most notably our significant agreement to co-own an Aerospace storefront.

"However, as close as our friendship to the Omzian people may be, Adejaani military forces are indisposed elsewhere and we regret we cannot throw our support militarily behind Omz222.

"All Adejaani personnel (including our liaisons within the Omzian Aerospace sector) and private citizens have therefore been ordered to the Adejaani Embassy within Omz222, should an evacuation of those personnel be required.

"Further to this, one Wasp LHD, two Ticonderoga CGs, two Arleigh Burke DDGs, three Oliver Hazard Perry FFGs and one Seawolf SSN shall be deployed to the Omzian coastline. Note that this is not a combat force. Their role, should a shooting war begin, is to evacuate those personnel inside the Adejaani Embassy compound.

"It should further be noted that while we remain neutral to any conflict should it occur, we will not tolerate any military actions against our evacuation efforts. STOVL fighters and helicopter gunships shall be on constant guard against agressors.

"Flight plans and identification codes and callsigns shall be distributed before flights take place to ensure no unfortunate incidents occur. As such, while we acknowledge radar scanning of our aircrafts and helicopters inevitable, even a missile lock against any Adejaani aircraft in the air during evacuation would be seen as a threat and measures taken to protect the evacuation assets.

"We do not wish to antagonise anyone or inflame the situation further. We will not interfere in the event of a shooting war and no weapons shall be released except in the above situation.....

"We regret not being able to help our greatest of allies, Omz222. But we still place every faith such that their armed forces will be more than a match and that they fight with bravery, honor and dignity. We sincerely regret we cannot join you in this fight.

"The flotilla will arrive at the Omzian coast shortly, with the appropriate Rules of Engagement. Finally, to our good friends Omz222..... Good luck and good hunting."

FROM: MAFCCP - Naval Command


As a sign of goodwill and friendship, the McLeodian navy has dispatched the 6th Reserve Surface Patrol Group to Omzian waters. These ships are predominantly little more than patrol craft, used almost like naval reserves to train crews ready for combat deployment in a patrol group.

The force is said to be en route, and should arrive within the next few days. We hope that the differences between Sniper Country and Omz222 can be resolved peacefully, since we are allied with Omz and Sniper Country was a supplier of arms to our nation, and we have fought alongside them, albeit on a small scale, in the Royal Palm conflict.

Should the situation dissolve further, we will offer the use of the MSF Monitor as a hosting point for diplomatic talks and negotiations.

The President of Gradenk was in his Presidential suite when the news breifing from Sniper Country and Omz came through.

He called his advisors and ordered his cabinet to be assemble at the Great Room.

<The President enters the room >
"Ladies and Gentlemens, I'm sure many of you have come to know of the crisis between Omz and Sniper Country. Both of them are our allies. Sniper Country being a fellow ally and pact member of the Delta Triumverate and Omz, a fellow ally who has extended close co-operation to us way back from the Royal Palm war. We're indeed in a fix now. Two of our close allies are battling words....for now. We hope the situation would not degenerate into a full scale war. "

Minister of Defense,Raj Shanthos " Mr President, I propose we monitor the situation...We can not afford to lose track on this development...We have immense investment in both Sniper Country and OMz....Think of the economic mishap that would occur."

President, " I'm aware of that Shanthos, Problem is we also have close military co-operation with both of them. We can't just send a force under the pretext of peace keeping. Though our friends would appreciate it..we can't do much in the event a full scale battle takes place ! "

Chief of Staff, General William Wallace, " Well, Mr President...Perhaps we can monitor it by using our operatives. Though it's a rule of thumb that we do not spy on friendly nations....This situation is indeed different...I hope the situation does not escalate into the one like what we're having with Ell. "

President, " Yes...About Ell. I still am not receiving any news of our diplomats. General Wallace, you have my full authority to do whatever you deem fit "

General Wallace, " Thank you sir...and about the current situation ?"

President, " Let's monitor it from our embassy....A huge outcry would occur if we were to use our spies....though they're already in the two nations.We can't risk a diplomatic row, heaven forbid another battle. Our embassies would co-ordinate the flow of information from the two countries. And just to be safe, send our tactical Insertion Squad to protect our embassies....It's bad to lose one....I don't want that to repeat again. "

Transmission:

To the nation of Omz and Sniper COutnry. The government of Gradenk hopes that this situation would de-escalate. We're prepared to host a dialogue between both of your nations in one of our islands ( secured ) so that this conflict be solved peacefully.

Official Transmission from Ministry of Foreign Affairs to counterparts in Sniper Country and Omz222

The government of the Federal Dictatorship of United Elias wishes to promote a diplomatic solution to the crisis. We see no reason why two large nations should place themselvs at war with each other when the world requires that superpowers such as our repsective nations be places of stability. Any war would no doubt cause massive casualties on both sides, severely affect the your repsective nations' economies and destabilise the world at large. In order to aid such a deescalation we offer our nation as a neutral location where representativres of both Sniper Country and Omz can meet to try and resolve their differences peacefully.

As the -Roman- General sits at his desk, he turns on the tv and hears about the news "Uh oh. Not good."

Open letter:

In response to the actions taken by Sniper Country, we feel it necessary to voice our support for our friend and ally Omz222.

As a result, I have authorized the mobilization of naval forces. As I address you now, a carrier battle group is seting course for Omzian waters, where it will remain in a defensive posture until otherwise ordered.

These vessels will display a Remiesian presence in these troubled waters but will not engage any vessel, regardless of nationality, unless they themselves are first engaged.

I hope that whatever conflict is at the root of this confrontation can be resolved peacefully, but be aware that we will assist our ally if hostilities commence.

It is my deepest hope that it does not come to that.

Signed,
President John Cleese, The United States of Remiesia

OOC: A pair of Los Angeles-class SSNs are already about halfway there and should arrive in 2 RL hours...they will be assigned to tail Sniper Country's carrier.

The nation of Euroslavia wishes that omz222 and sniper country can settle their differences. We believe that there is always a political solution to a conflict, however, if military action were to take place, we would back omz222 financially.

We thank all for their support, our new and old allies, our APTO allies.

However, Omzian Democratic Republic do like to resolve the Sniper Country-Omz222 Crisis peacefully, as it is unnecessary to start an unreasonable war with Omzian Democratic Republic. If the Holy Empire of Sniper Country agrees with peace talks and meetings to this crisis, we are fully prepared. We will make no movement outside of Omzian Democratic Republic, nor target Sniper Country using our weapons, unless we are attacked by Sniper Country first.

Furthermore, 8 Wyvern Corvettes, armed with Firebolt and Harpoon anti-ship missiles, will patrol the area near the Sniper Country battlegroup, inside Omzian waters. The corvettes will stay 120 nautical miles away. If Sniper Country's battlegroup fire on our boats, we reserve the right to fire.

Finally, the Omzian carrier just outside of Sniper Country will be pulling back.

Statement from Dr Mark Bunker, Secretary of Defense, Technocratic Republic of Adejaani

"Subsequent to my colleague's address (Mr Charles Burke, Secretary of State), I have only the following brief statement.

"The Technocratic Republic of Adejaani extends its full and unwavering support behind our great friends, Omz222. While we still hope a peaceful and diplomatic solution can be found, nevertheless, a naval flotilla has been deployed to the Omzian coast. But please note! This has no effect whatsoever on the forces already deployed to the Omzian coast and their mission and Rules of Engagement are still consistent with a mission of evacuating Adejaani nationals from our embassy there.

"One augmented carrier battlegroup, consisting of a Nimitz CVN, four Ticonderoga CGs, four Arleigh Burke DDGs, one New Empire class Arsenal Ship, six Oliver Hazard Perry FFGs, four Seawolf SSNs and a Supply AOE will reach the Omzian coast in a few days.

"This carrier battlegroup's orders are simply to defend the Omzian people, not to prosecute a war. They have been given orders accordingly, though if threatened, we will not hesitate to protect our fleet and attempt to sink aggressors.

"But we still hope a peaceful solution may be found and conflict averted. That is all. Thank you."

With the new eroding diplomatic relations between Sniper Country and our close ally, Omz222, Edolia has decided to place military forces on high alert. Because we have recently fought an extremely expensive naval war near Lipvinity, Edolian forces will not participate in early stages of the war if combat breaks out. However, if our ally needs it, a naval fleet is being assembled to be placed on standby.

While Dark Terror will not get directly involved in the agression against Omz222 due to a possible war with Nanakaland, The Barbarian Horde of Dark Terror will offer discounted military equipment and financial aid to those defending Omz222 (Yes, even edolia). The Bisonic government has officially condemned what it sees as "imperialistic expansion" (irony) by the "criminal regime" (more irony) of Sniper Country, in what it describes as "the forceful bringing of the inquisition and its opium for the people" to Omz222.

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

First, we would like to thank everyone for their support for Omzian Democratic Republic. The support will be noted.

=====================

Will not back down? We see Sniper Country's action as hostile, unsupportive, and even, to the extent --- warmongering. While we do not wish for a war, and we will not see Sniper Country will actually start a imperalistic war against Omzian Democratic Republic.

However, the National Guards will still be on a READY status. DEFCON 3 will stay. Best to prepare for any possible war. Unless Sniper Country makes some form of guarentee, we are fully prepared to defend ourselves from any possible imperial, expansionist, or/and warmongering invasion by Sniper Country. Even with our allies with SNiper COuntry, we have a faith. That is, protecting the people of Omzian Democratic Republic, and her freedom.

If there will be a war, so be it. Omzian Democratic Republic will be victorious in defending itself, from letting itself fall again --- and possibly ruled by the old opressive Communist regime in Omzian Nation.

--Foreign Affairs Ministry

==============

Massive purchases of food and supplies can be seen across Omzian nation. Citizens were preparing for war. Indeed, they are scared. What if Omzian Democratic Republic fell? What if Omzian Nation falls to instability? Even most importantly, what if the dissidents of the former Omzian regime controls again? It must not happen.

For what they want, is to have peace continuing on, since the Civil war in Omzian Nation, 50 years ago.

Omz222, you have my support.

We thank everyone's support. Our friends, our allies, even our trading partners.

But we suggest, please do not fight a war, a conflict, a fight for Omzian Democratic Republic. Even though our military is not the greatest, we don't want to see our friends' lives perished away. Aid and moral support is already very appreciated by the military, the government, and most important of all, the people of Omzian Democratic Republic.

Thanks again.

<Topic: Omz222/Sniper County Hostilites>

I encourage all in defense of Omz222 to back down immediatley. As you all [should] know, our nation posesses a large nuclear supply, ranging from simple backpack nukes to multiple warheaded ICBMS. Though using them will of course be a last resort, I just wish to inform you that they are there and can be used.

We are currently preparing our CIRG Special Forces [Critical Incident Response Group] incase war breaks out. We encourage all sides to back down immediatley before The Soviet Pie Empire must step in. Using our colonies in Rouge Peoples, Dootack, and Wild Dancing Monkeys, as well as their bases, will give us the upper hand for any sort of attacks.

You sure about that, boy? Skynet would glass you several times over, and intercept most of what you toss out at the world since it has merged with our SDI units.

If both Omz and Snipercountry wish, Central Facehuggerian diplomats can mediate any peace talks you wish to have. Also, we offer our nation as neutral territory in the hope that your two great nations will come to peace.

Well, erm. We have a back-up plan. :twisted: *Insert more evility here*.
-Dave Mendelson

We would like to note TROUSRS that using violence to resolve a conflict to gain peace, will only be more violence.

In th meanwhile, responding to the "nuke threat", we will be activating several of our Skymer air defence batteries, designed to engage cruise missiles, MIRVs, and high-flying bomber aircraft. This should be notes as a defensive move only.

If nuclear weapons are fired at us, we reserve the right to fire back, although it is not in our rules that we fire nukes back if nukes are fired at us. Despite it is highly unlikely, we shall see.

However, we will back down --- only with our defense remains.

OOC: No puppets.

This random act of agression and imperialism will not be tolerated by the Penguinatan government. The Omzian Democratic Republic will receive whatever support it wishes from the Dominion, and our Earth Divisions are on READY status. Transmissions are being relayed to warn our generals on Earth.

Any act of further agression by Sniper Country will be taken with anger from the Penguinatan population. All civilians in Sniper Country are being transported to Arctique Island. Our past with Sniper Country has not been a good one. In the past they have conflicted with our national interests, and are doing it again.

We will not accept war readily. DIDPAC will remain on alert, but we are asking that peace stay the course. We do not wish to fight, and we do not wish for any armed conflict to occur.

Acceptance is not an object of loyalty, yet one of honesty.

--Kei Cho--
Empress of the Dominion of Isla de Penguinata And Colonies.

Despite the continued pace today, stock have fallen all across Omzian nation, even including the biggest Omzian corporation, Varyteac Computer Technologies Corporation. The reason for this is, obviously, the continued standoff with Sniper Country, plus the difficulty to make peace with Sniper Country. Although this will not hurt the economy, this does pose a negative effect.

Furthermore, "massive stockings" of food and supplies are continuing across Omzian nation, as the citizens prepare for war. Schools has enacted normal bunker evacuation exercises --- the first in 19 years. Air siren are activated across large cities, and missile batteries can be seen.

We would like to note TROUSRS that using violence to resolve a conflict to gain peace, will only be more violence.

OOC: No puppets.

If you will read more carefully next time, we did not threaten to use nuclear force against your nation. We simply stated that we had a wide variety of nuclear weaponry. Activate all defense forces you wish. We have not made any threats of wars as of yet. We await responses from Sniper Country.

I thank you for backing down. Our defenses as well will remain.

-Dave Mendelson

OOC: They are not puppets, they are ligitematley conqured territories that do not add to our main nations population. They are used for strategic battle purposes only such as bases or money.

hmm i dont know who to support now, TROUSRS for being my long time ally and for giving me the nation of geforce4, or omz who buys every thing [not anymore tho :roll: :wink: ]

Artitsa pledges to Omz that it will send foodstuffs and medical supplies should the nation require it. Artitsa will also send 2 Hospital ships to help with any incidents.

IC:

We are sorry for our misunderstanding.

In the meanwhile, however, we would like Sniper Country to know if that if they continue this standoff, both sides will be experiencing problems.

For the sake of citizens' safety, we'd suggest backing down. As a courtesy action, we've already cancelled the propsal to raise National Security Level to DEFCON 2 --- although our defence still remains. We probably already know what the government of Sniper Country is thinking: backing down will only show that they are weaker. But we would also note that not backing down will only make Sniper Country a warmongerer. We are sure even Sniper Country would not want to invade Omzian Democratic Republic.

--Foreign Affairs Ministry

Though we would much rather that both parties back down, Clan Smoke Jaguar will support Omz222 if open hostilities are initiated, and will provide our ally with both military and economic assistance in the advent of a war.

OOC: The two Los Angeles attack subs are in the area, under strict ROE, and are operating independantly of the Task Force.

IC: Remiesian Navy Task Force 11.2 is within a few hours of the Omzian coast. They are, again, under purely defensive ROE.

Fighter aircraft are patrolling the airspace around the carrier, a Hawkeye AWACS aircraft is airborne at all times, and additional interceptors are on 2-minute catapult alert.

All escort ships' radars are on and are monitoring for any hostile movement against the force.

The makeup of the force is as follows (and my pop is roughly 550 million in case you didn't know - I'm ressurected):

Naval Aircraft
16 EA-220 Attack Aircraft (from United Elias)
16 F/A-18E Super Hornets
2 E-2C Hawkeyes
16 S-3B Vikings
16 F-14D Tomcats
10 SH-60 Seahawks

Ships
Iowa BB
1 Nimitz CVN
6 Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyers
4 Ticonderoga guided missile cruisers
2 Seawolf SSNs
3 Oliver Hazard Perry frigates
2 EM-140 Beluga frigates (from United Elias)
2 Mihai I battlecruisers (from Free Rumania)
1 oiler
1 Sacramento combat support ship
2 Avenger mine countermeasures ships
2 Wasp class amphibious warfare ships with 8 LCACs

OOC2: There are Marines aboard the Wasps but I won't post stats unless I need them (hopefully not)

Though we would much rather that both parties back down, Clan Smoke Jaguar will support Omz222 if open hostilities are initiated, and will provide our ally with both military and economic assistance in the advent of a war.

As we have already negotiated about "possible aid" with the Free Land of Clan Smoke Jaguar, Omzian Democratic Republic would like to thank its ally and trading partner, Clan Smoke Jaguar, for their exclusive support.

This --- along with the other support, will not be forgotten. However, we continue to urge our allies to not fight the war for us --- aid is enough. We do not want to see our fellow allies' comrades fall, for Omzian Democratic Republic.

CONFIDENTIAL

The Phoenix Milita and many other nations of the American Alliance are prepared to throw military support behind the Holy Republic of Sniper Country. We would however like to view, in part or in full, the information obtained by you through IMF that prompted the actions your government is taking. The people (and military) of the Phoenix Milita support Sniper Country and SCAF fully, however, the Prime Milita Tribunal must be convinced that military support is warranted and such things take time. Nevertheless we are taking steps to prepare for intervention. Besides regular air-moblization preparations, a Destroyer Group [[[OOC: (2) Sprunace class DD, (1) Arliegh Burke DD, (1) Perry Class Frigate, (1)Seawolf Class Submarine w/manta, (2) XB-SSB speed boats, (5) varied support/survellince ships (2) patrol ships]]]is being sent to monitor things near Omz222 waters. Spy plane overflights are being stepped up also.

Though we would much rather that both parties back down, Clan Smoke Jaguar will support Omz222 if open hostilities are initiated, and will provide our ally with both military and economic assistance in the advent of a war.

As we have already negotiated about "possible aid" with the Free Land of Clan Smoke Jaguar, Omzian Democratic Republic would like to thank its ally and trading partner, Clan Smoke Jaguar, for their exclusive support.

We are preparing operation SNAPCOUNT. Having it prepared will allow it to commense in 3 minutes from time of activation.
Operation SNAPCOUNT:
In SNAPCOUNT, some of the empire's fastest high altitude heavy payload bombers are loaded to the max with smart bomb nukes. Upon reaching target nation, the precision missiles are released, taking out all communications and radars, among other specified targets such as shools and places of high density populations, ya know, just to leave a mark.

In light of TROUSRS' apparent threat to use Weapons of Mass Destruction, vis a vis nuclear weapons, Adejaani has increased its Air National Guard, Air Defense and Anti Missile forces. Note that this increase has not spilled into a mobilisation of the rest of the regular Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force units for deployment into the conflict. We are simply taking the steps to protect our nation against such weapons.

We also note that while Adejaani does not retain any WMDs, the response and ferocity of our conventional forces, should any nuclear weapons be detonated in Adejaani will be just as devastating.

Again, we note we have not increased military alert statuses across the board, just those for Defense. Nor has our naval flotilla made any aggressive moves.

We do not want to see Omzian troops fall without Penguinatan troops. It is our wish that you will allow Penguinatan troops to fight and die alongside your own. We insist it.

Excuse me, sir, but you have called for nations which are in defense of Omz222 to stand down. Whether or not the threat was directed at us (making you one of Sniper Country's allies), or proving a point and warning SC to stand down (putting you on our side), we still need to take steps to protect ourselves.

So I must respectfully ask that you clarify your intentions as far as your nuclear arsenal and the "SNAPCOUNT" option goes. We know you are an honorable people, yet you should know that you have the rest of the international community alarmed at your actions.

-Doctor Mark Bunker, Secretary of Defense, Technocratic Republic of Adejaani

[OOC: The SNAPCOUNT is secret, you don't know about it. Notice the "Secret /secret" tags...]

IC: We wish to keep peace as well. The Soviet Pie is not a warring nation much anymore. Though we do posses great brute force, we do not use it. And yes, we did encourage all sides to back down, seeing as war will only cause massive loss of innocent lives.

As of now, we have not taken any side in this conflict, we are simply peace keepers. We want, as much as anyone, for this conflict to end peacefully and without loss of life or money.

OOC: :P And sorry about the "SNAPCOUNT" thing :oops:

IC: Very well..... To the TROUSRS peace delegation, we wish you well, lest the Sum of all our fears occur. Nevertheless, our forces shall be standing by, only to defend the Omzian mainland, not to prosecute a war.

-Doctor Mark Bunker, Secretary of Defense, Technocratic Republic of Adejaani

OOC: :P And sorry about the "SNAPCOUNT" thing :oops:

OOC: No problem. :wink:

OOC:

A reply coming soon, for fair play I will post the failure for my ASW aircraft to detect your sub :wink:

EDIT: Haven't received TG.. yet.

The EI Council for Peace offers to hold a negotiations on one of our islands.

OOC: A pair of Los Angeles-class SSNs...will be assigned to tail Sniper Country's carrier.

OOC: Stealth minisub, you say...quiet enough to be masked by the carrier's noises? My subs are listening...

The Director of the Office of Intelligence and Data walked into the Platinum Atrium, the Empress's office.

"Ma'am, it appears that Sniper Country may be preparing special forces. We've had increased activity in Omzian forests and water bodies. What do you wish to do?" He handed over the files.

Empress Cho looked over the files briefly, and spoke with a bitter tone in her voice. "Those bastards. I should have known from past conflicts that Sniper Country would send in special forces."
The Director interrupted. "Yes, but we aren't sure if that information is accurate enough to draw the conclusion that Sniper Country has enabled special forces divisions into the Omzian Democratic Republic."
Cho snapped, "I know that. I don't care, I suspect it as much as you probably do. I don't mean to jump to conclusions, but just to be safe, send in a squad of agents."
The Director nodded swiftly, and turned to walk out of the office.

Join the club, I'm vice president "PANTS". Our President is Sniper Country./sarcasm

Omz222, your treachery and vile actions against AMF have not been forgotten. We are still bitter about your harsh words and cowardly actions to undermine the stability of AMF. Let it be known that you will now reap what you have sown, for your time of reckoning has arrived.

We will fight alongside our close brother Sniper Country till the end. You deserve this Omz, for you have spat in the face of AMF on too many occasions. We no longer care about our safety, and we will fight you until the bitter end. And to think, we once thought very highly of you......

....prepare yourself.....we are coming for you....

Being allied with Omz222 and having fought alongside his forces, the Peacekeeping Nation of Sigma Octavus is willing to pledge forces to Omz's aid if needed. Incase they are needed, 5,000 SOET forces are being readied to be flown in to assist and possibly engage in guerilla warfare against invading forces.

In light of a recent statement made by the nation of Automagfreek, we are withdrawing all personnel in that nation's boundaries. Along with an event that occurred last night in which the Imperial Council decided to not repeal our alliance with Automagfreek, that decision has been revoked.

The Dominion of Isla de Penguinata And Colonies (DIDPAC) officially strips AMF of all titles of ally. The Omzian Democratic Republic has been our ally and friend since our founding. It was unknown to us that AMF was an enemy of the Omzian Democratic Republic, or used such inhumane programs in its country.

God save our souls for helping a nation so wrong.

We can not in good conscience let IdP troops die in a war without ours dying along side them. As such, we are preparing the 9th and 25th Jump Infantry Divisions of the Star League Marine Corp for deployment on Terra.

Haaregradia will offer continued material support for Omz222 however we will not get involved militarily.

Indeed. I am formally, well, telling everyone that this is NOT an RP thread. [My mistake earlier.] This is simply a "press conference" thread, in case one wishes to pose a side on the situation, and for Sniper Country and Omz222 to post threats and talk smack and stuff, as well as allies and enemies. An RP thread will be set up at a later date, in accordance with mine and Omz222's wills. Thank you.
OOC: I can confirm this, sorry for not making this clear. The invasion will not go like "I send 100,000 troops to Omz222" or "I send 20 B-52s to bomb Omz222". It will be more slow and progressed, with the "SpecOps" incident at the start.

Thanks for explaining SC.

The Lord Reaver urges all parties to consider this situation carefully before commiting yourselves. Pantera has allies scattered through both sides, and is a difficult situation concerning our own position.

That said, I will make it known that while Pantera and Omz222 have never had previous tensions, the Reavers hold the soldiers of Sniper Country in the highest respect. Should tensions escalate, I will be forced to call my banners and sail alongside our allies, Sniper Country.

Consider the consequences of foolishness at this time. Consider the lives that will be lost, and old hatreds that will be born again. Woe be to those who would defy me, glory to those who would stand alongside me.

That is my word, echoed by all of Pantera.

We will continue trying our best to make this situation "cool off", preventing unnecessary loss of lives, possession, and valuables. We once again call out to Sniper Country, for their good, back down. This standoff is already hurting both sides --- economically. Citizens are now in fear, afraiding their lives lost.

But we must note that both Pantera and Omzian Democratic Republic are in the alliance of APTO, therefore, an attack on Omzian Democratic Republic by Pantera will be a violation of the APTO rules, in our records.

However, we reserve the right to fire back incase of any attacks, for our own safety. For our people's safety, for the safety of the Omzian Motherland. Our people will fight back, for their freedom.

Goobergunchia hopes that both sides can resolve their disagreements peacefully. To that end, we would be willing to host peace talks between the Omzian and Sniper Country leaders.

[While we remain neutral in this conflict, we will be sending aid in the form of medical supplies and personnel into Omz222, an APTO ally. We do understand Pantera, another APTO member who we also respect, may come into combat with Omz222. Therefore, it will be resolved the first APTO nation that is attacked will have our support. However, we will not make any military incursions into the conflict until that happens. Our forces will avoid combat with Pantera at all costs, but we urge Panera and Omz222 to try to avoid attacking eachother, as our alliance must not be split.

May cool heads and reason prevail.]
The president did not comment on the troop movements of the NEMC, or the NESS "New Empire" Class Supercarrier Battle Group that began loading up at their ports today.

..::Star League News Network::..

Today the 9th and 25th Jump Infantry Division of the SLDF Marine Corp were given orders to pack up their gear and personel to dock with the SLS Leviathan in orbit over New Home. This is unsurprising considering the tensions between Sniper Country and Omz and with Isla de Penguinata throwing in support with Omz. Commandant Aleksander Kerensky has been quoted as saying, "If this does come to war the likelyhood of divisional battlemech assets being deployed is not that great, the deployment of battlemechs will only happen if the enemy has armor assets equal to out own. At this time, it is viewed as unlikely."

OOC: Basically this means that infantry will be deployed for any possible war but our battlemechs will not unless someone with a high enough tech level joins the other side.

--Official Tisonican press conference regarding rising hostilities between Sniper Country and Omz--

"As you all should know, it doesn't look like Sniper Country and Omz like eachother too much, don't ask me why, I don't pay much attention to those things. Being the president I have much better things to do with my time. But this doesn't change the fact that Tisonica has yet to take a position in what may become a conflict sometime soon."

"It is very hard for us to decide who to side with, we have always considered ourselves a close ally of Sniper Country, yet they seems to be the agressor in this conflict. And many of the countries siding with Omz are our allies, not Dark Terror though, we don't like them, they are very very bad. So you can imagine the dilemma I am facing. But we have come to a deciscion for now."

"We, the Minty Fresh land of Tisonica, have decided... to not do anything for now. As it is unclear of the intentions behind Sniper Country's actions, we have decided we will not take any particular side yet. However, we will (unless we decide not to) protect Sniper Country if they are the one who is attacked."

"Thank you for your time, we hope this clears up any confusion as to our stance on this issue"

Dealing with the "Exercise" a few days later, the Omzian Navy has officialy announaced an anti-ship cruise missile testing --- inside Omzian territory.

OSNN: Omzian State News Network

A young, beautiful woman sat in the desk, with a national emblem of Omz222 behind. It should be usual news, as expected... but it isn't.

Suddenly, a video of the firing of an Omzian Firebolt anti-ship missile appeared on the video screen. All one could see is the missile streaking past vast terrains.

"Approximately 1 hour ago Omzian Central Time, the Omzian Navy has tested its Firebolt anti-ship missile within its territory, as a response to the testing of naval guns by Sniper Country destroyers outside of Omzian waters. The missile test is extremely successful, with all 2 missile tested hitting its mock target, a boat just off the eastern Omzian coast.

"The Omzian Navy has stated that the Firebolt anti-ship cruise missile is fired from a ground launcher 50 nautical miles off Honjaksgrad City. After 8 seconds of launch, the cruise missile kicked to a speed of 1.98 Mach, flying at an altitude of just over 20m --- undetectable by most military radar."

Right after the video finishes with the missile almost reaching its target, the program continued with a rotating mock-up 3D model of the Firebolt, shaped like a big bullet, with a brown background and some approximate statistics of the missile.

"The Omzian Navy has also stated that the Firebolt missile, an license-built foreign-made anti-ship cruise missile, is a new generation of medium-long-range anti-ship missile in the Omzian Navy. WIth a maximum speed of approximately 2 Mach, and flying at an altutide between 10-30m, it can defeat many modern ship defence today, although not all, including the AEGIS system used by military ships and the Phalanx CIWS anti-air guns also used by the military. The missile is reported to be able to reach its target at maximum range of approx. 140km within approx. 150 seconds. Similar to the Russian SS-N-22 Sunburn aka 'AEGIS killer' missile, the missile is proved to be effective against AEGIS ships in combat. Fortunately, the Omzian Navy also has various defences against some of these kinds of missiles.

"This is all we have for now. Please stay tuned for any further news in our Sniper Country-Omz222 Crisis programmes, including a report on the economy and stock downfall, and mass production of military supplies. Thank you, and good day."

OOC: Yep. This is long term RP. Just to clarify for nations who wants to take sides, this is not a RP where SC just invade me. This will involve... various things.

IC: Arribastan would like to know what is happening. If these "tensions" do come to a war, then we will support Sniper Country, as they, even if they do not remember it, supported us when we were young.
OOC: i'm resurrected, June nation

Ipotch Meda Corp.

Today, the Barbarosean Navy packed up a unknown transport ship that was headed wherever they were going. Many mothers and wifes were at the Barbertion Port.

"I don't know where my son is going, but he looked proud to be going, so it can't be too bad." said one mother. The Barbarosea Govt. isn't talking right now, but said will release some information at a later date. This is Turk Hallute in Barbertion.

Onboard the BNS Drysdale

"Sir, the commander has told us final bearings, no more turns." said a shipmate. "Good, here, let me see them." The shipmate gave him the bearing. "Execelent."

They were headed to the Sniper Country formation, and with the Drysdale's stealth, they wouldn't be picked up eaisly. They would call though, so not to be fired on. This Sea Shadow held some very important cargo, and it could not be lost.

[OOC: Sniper Country, we're a space nation, but we have several divisions on our Earth colony (which is simply the land we lived on before we left). Those divisions are purely modern-tech, so you shouldn't worry about me sending space stuff at you, if this should ever come to conflict.]

Internet Wire Reports:
KAICHEN--Today, at 7:30 PM CST Earth time, Empress Kei Cho and her Imperial Council decided to hold an emergency meeting tomorrow. The emergency meeting is being held to assess the latest news of practice excercises exhibited by Sniper Country and the Omzian Democratic Republic. Sniper Country fired a volley of rounds off of naval craft off the coast of the Omzian Democratic Republic into international waters today. In response, the Omzian Nation tested a new missile on its own territory.

Tensions have been escalating for the past week between Sniper Country and the Omzian Democratic Republic. Allies from both sides have been rushing to help the two, and others are trying to ease the tensions. The outlook is bad, and the stock market, which has been steadily climbing for 5 years, took a slight downturn today. Consumer confidence is lowering as the threat of war looms closer.

Penguinatans who inhabit Arctique Island, the DIDPAC's Earth colony, have been growing increasingly afraid. Stores are running out of stocks, and the Dominion's largest supermarket chain, Target (speak it French like Tar-jay :wink: ) announced that it will have to buy more goods in order to keep up supply.

More news will be given as it arrives, here at your online source for updated news by the minute, IWR.

At the request of our old ally, Sniper Country, the Incorpoated States of the Omni Conglomerates is agreeing to supply our mineral diffecient friend with contracts for the trade of steel, titanium ore, oil, enriched uranium 238 and 235, and long range missle components. There are also options in the deal for the sale of arms and armored weapons sytems. If the Christian Senatoriate of Sniper Country has need of other arms, materials, or technologies our mighty industrial nation will be happy to provided them as well.

New Genoa has declared an official state of neutrality due to our recent devotion to isolation. We implore both sides to end this conflict diplomatically. New Genoa, too, has allies scattered on both sides.

We beg you, please, establish peace. Do not wander into the downtrodden lands of bloodshed and war.

-Foreign Affairs-

--

~~~Transmission to Omzian Democratic Government~~~
As you know, New Genoa is truely a neutral nation, officially. We will not deploy forces overseas. However, Omz being a firm ally of New Genoa, we have decided to grant massive discounts on our KA series ground vehicles. Also, we offer refuge to Omzian citizens, should war come, in our nation.

Godspeed.

IC:

Recent occurrences have opted the Imperial Council to heighten military alert status on Earth, and raise the total number of active military forces from 0.005% (4.13 million) to 0.008% (6.6 million). Before the increase, 1.5 million active soldiers were on Arctique Island. There will now be 2.31 million active soldiers on Arctique Island (36% of all active duty military forces in both cases).

The latest increase in tensions, exhibited by military excercises from both sides, have influenced the Imperial Council's decision for this new heightened alert status and increase in active military force. There are currently 4 million more soldiers in the Reserves, which enables 1.44 million more troops readily available for Earth use.

Lt. General Turk Callian, on SECNET:

Thank you for the channel, we will make good use of it. But one thing that bothers me is that we can't send and data or files between eachother with out some method of connection. What should we do about this?

[General Press Release made by current Iuthian leader, Acting Lord General Ursand]

After much discussion with advisors and military think tanks I have made the decision to support Omz222 militarily should our assistance be required and requested by the leaders of Omz. While we are currently not mobilising any forces at the time being, we will begin mobilisation should war break out between Sniper Country and Omz so that when our forces are needed they will grant relief and reinforce Omz and their allies.

However, we would prefer that the situation is resolved peacefully as this incident is quickly becoming something we may all regret. Wars are expensive and costly to all nations involved and very little can be gained when so many are involved. We implore that both nations resolve this issue without resorting to battle.

Thank you for listening,

Acting Lord General Ursand, leader of Iuthia

OOC: Iuthia uses Gauss Rifles as standard weapons, however, I have stated on many occasions that we do not actually count this as any extra game effect… it’s just a detail, they are not advanced enough to make my army any better then they all ready are.

This said, I am also cutting out my drop pod division (aww) and my hover tanks, which are not actually that good, but they are fast… either way the technology isn’t going to be used because this is modern tech.

OOC: Er... I think it should be appropriate to note that my nation is future tech. Here's a squad breakdown to show you what I mean:

5 Rifleman (Heavy Assault Rifles)
2 Snipers (Guass Rifles)
2 Support Weapons Specialists (Automatic Gyrojet Rifles)
1 Anti-tank gunner (Partical Projection Cannon)

If you have a problem with this let me know, but I think it would be a fair trade to allow it in exchange for keeping my mechs in the hangar.

As of today, the Barbarosean Military has called the nation up to arms. What that means...*A chart appears on the screen*

DEFCON------2
Terror Alert--Moderate
Armed Forces Ranking--Charlie

What this means: Well, the DEFCON was raised about a week ago, so no change there, the Terror Alert going up means that there will now be Z planes flying over all cities that contain over 20 Million ppl. It also means that there will be armed guards in Rome and Barbarosea City. The Armed Forces RAnking means that all forces have been called up to active duty and that they are preparing for war. This also means that anything can now be deployed on a moments notice.

Offical Barbarosea Statment reguarding the ship going out yesterday

The ship deployed yesterday was that of the 15th Barbarosea Standard fleet, a Sea Shadow. It is a stealth ship that was deployed to Elite Rogue Warriors for naval warfare training. That is all

We have confirmed this as true data, and thank the Barbarosea Govt. for releasing this information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECNET to SC

We are also working on the problem, we have an option to install a BSN computer in your ship, but we would need that technology brought to us, so we are exploring other options.

And something you should know, we are sailing right now twords your fleet, and we plan on staying, not that you will see us on radar, but just don't fire on any ships for a while.

The ship deployed yesterday was that of the 15th Barbarosea Standard fleet, a Sea Shadow. It is a stealth ship that was deployed to Elite Rogue Warriors for naval warfare training. That is all
OOC: Not to nitpick, but isn't the Sea Shadow (http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/factfile/ships/ship-sea.html) more of a test watercraft? Or is your Sea Shadow a completely different ship, also stealth by concidence?

Johnistan pledges it's support to Omz222 in any way possible.

OOC: No, it's the same, but we are slighty post-modern (around 2007/2008) so we have made this a operational warship.

OOC: That's not really a fair comparison, only my snipers use guass rifles and even then one of your troopers could empty his clip before one of my guass rifles got off a second shot. Their range isn't anything to write home about either, only a kilometer, that's about the same range as one of your M4s.

Give me a chance, if I really wanted to kick your ass with future tech weapons I would be using one of my battlemech divisions but instead I'm using infantry with weapons that can be classified as modern tech (HAS and gyrojet rifles) or late near future tech (guass rifles and PPC). Please understand that I'm really toning down my military for a chance to RP and I'll make every effort to be fair about what advantages I do have.

Johnistan pledges it's support to Omz222 in any way possible.

We thank Johnistan for their support. You will not be forgotten.

OOC: Alright, SC and I may enact the "no more nation joining" thing pertty soon... the list's going to grow too big.

Im switching to SC's side to obey my policy of fighting communism/socialism, but it will only be logistical help.

Dark Terror Reconsiders its Position..
Dark Terror has come 180° in its position on the Omz/Sniper Country, offering the use of hospital ships to anti-Omz forces. Top officials were quoted talking about how an aide neglected to mention that Omz is a largely socialists country, and that he was dispatched by a firing squad several hours ago. Dark Terror will provide financial and logistical aid to anti-Omz forces if so desired, though obviously there will be no full involvement. In addition, after a review of the evidence, the KGB has determined that Sniper Country is conducting a legitimate mission of naitonal security rather than unjustified agression.

Im switching to SC's side to obey my policy of fighting communism/socialism, but it will only be logistical help.
OOC: Who said that I'm not a capitalist? Only with a socialist name, I'm a capitalist country :P

But ah well, the "limit" incase fo a war should start soon.

OOC: Iuthia is more of a reserves army becuase it's easier to work out in the end (for example, when people get to heavily damaged to carry on, Iuthia sends in their forces)... then again, it depends on how it goes and if it goes...

Im switching to SC's side to obey my policy of fighting communism/socialism, but it will only be logistical help.

IC:

We see the nation of Dark terror refering us as a "socialist" nation. However, that is not the case. We are a nation with democratic laws, with a emphatise (sp.) on socialist welfare and economy, plus some federalism-influenced administration. Socialism only influences the Omzian Socialist Party, a popular political party among various Omzians. The current elected party, Omzian New Democratic Party, is nothing of a Socialist political party.

Although various references refer us as a "democratic socialist nation", that is not the case. It mostly refers to the policy in the Socialist Party-era in the past 20 years.

EDIT:

Allow SC and I repeat:
This is an absolute modern tech, serious RP (2000-2020 timeframe), not a RP where gravships/spaceships/whatever, ion cannons, and plasma cannons exists. This is when surface ships, battle tanks, artillery, and M4/M16/AK-47s exist. So, we don't want to see people sending "supersoldiers" with huge plasma rifles and mega-power-armor here. Also, no "I send 10 million troops" or "I send 40 battleships and 40 carriers" here. No "my space lasers destroyed yoru city", or no "my invisible untra-uber-stealth B-3 bomber penetrated your air defence (yes, a B-2 can be detected and engaged), or not even "my invincible ships took 188929 hits from anti-ship missiles". Thank you for understanding this.

Open Letter:

More and more nations and aligning themselved behind Sniper Country. These nations are content to back unwarranted aggression against the Omzian Nation who, in our sight, has taken no action to elicit this situation.

As such, I am reaffirming Remiesia's commitment to the defense of the Omzian Nation.

We have no quarrel with many of these nations, and we hope that open war does not come, lest we be forced to meet them on the field of battle.

But we will not shrink from our duty to our friend and ally. A Carrier Battle Group, also transporting a Marine unit, has arrived on station off the coast of the Omzian Nation. I am also directing the Commanding General of the Remiesian Army to assemble an Army unit for overseas deployment, and the Remiesian Air Force is on alert for a possible trip to Omzian soil.

We urge all agressor nations to stand down. A conflict of this size and scope will only serve to embroil the majority of the world in needless conflict.

I again stress that our ships can and will be recalled when Sniper Country and its allies stand down, and until that point they will not initiate combat unless first attacked.

I sincerely hope that the opposing nations see the Hell that their actions will bring unto the world and make every effort to avoid it.

John Cleese,
President and Commander-In-Chief, the United States of Remiesia.

We thank our fellow ally Remiesia for their understanding and aid. of course, although Omzian nation in the past is socialist-influenced, but that doesn't mean now we are a threat to the security of Sniper Country. In fact, our records has nothing like "we invade Sniper Country" on it.

We continue to urge Sniper Country to rethink its willingness to open aggresion against Omzian Democratic Republic. Our citizen doesn't want to repeat the era when the brutal communist regime took away millions of lives in the 1940es. Our people has doen nothing to Sniper Country, and we don't see Sniper Country's need to pose a threat to us. To show good will, we will stay on DEFCON 3, and still open our arms for possible negotations.

The Remiesian forces will be welcomed as liberators in Omzian Democratic Republic.

OOC: Since that's the timeframe you use for defining modern tech then I think that the guass rifles that Iuthia and I use can be allowed because by 2013 the US Navy will be building destroyers that mount 13" guass cannons.

OOC: You might be referring to ETC (Electric-thermal-chemcial) cannons, which are essentially some form of rail guns I believe.

If it is really gauss cannon, could you show me the source? I'd appreciate it.

OOC: Nothing online, but I read it in PopSci. They call it a railgun in the article, but it's a tube weapon and that makes it a guass cannon. As it is, the USN has already tested a railgun on one of its decommissioned Iowas in '98, so it stands to reason that guass cannons will be used for an operational platform.

EDIT: An ETC works on an entirely different set of propellant principle than a guass cannon or railgun, so no they are not the same and I'm not confusing the two.

OOC: Hmm, I see... I'll let SC know about this.

OOC: 200 meters? I'm not that dumb...they wouldn't be cleared to get that close.

IC: No official response.

At naval headquarters...

"Dammit, how did they detect the LAs?"

"Don't know, sir...it happens."

"Well un-happen it! Tell the commander of that battle group to get his head out of his ass and have the Seawolves take over for those LA boats!"

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Two Seawolf IV SSN submarines moved from the main portion of the fleet, headed to tag four hundred meters behind the Los Angeles submarines.


....right into the sights of the two Remiesian Seawolves.

Aboard the RNS Providence:

"Conn, sonar - submerged contact, bearing 020....right behind the LA boats, sir!"

The captain furrowed his brow. "Designate submerged contacts Sierra 1 and Sierra 2. Work out firing solutions on both subs. I want them blown out of the water if they so much as sneeze at those LAs."

"Yessir."

"Shall we load tubes, sir?"

The captain whirled on the XO. "Absolutely not. Not unless I give the order. Understood?"

"Understood, sir."

The captan scratched his head and sighed. "Sonar, I want you keeping tabs on those Sierras. If they make any hostile moves, inform me immediately."

"Aye, sir."

[Argh, I had to start RPing in this thread. That's it. I am going to start up a 'High Tensions' RP thread in a minute.]
OOC: Good :D

Is there a tech level restriction?

Is there a tech level restriction?
OOC: Yes. Read the bold message I typed at the start of the page.

Omz222: special discount for you, FV-27s are now only $35 000 000.

Omz222: special discount for you, FV-27s are now only $35 000 000.
Thank you, but we do not need anymore of the FV-27s. We already have the FV-27s entering service jus ta while ago.

OOC: Okay, I am gonna pull the "field expert" card here. I am not disclosing my name nor rank, but I am a senior officer in the United States Marine Corps, and the speak of the "guass" tech for the USN, its flawed. It is an ETC, and it is proving very risky and is getting delayed.

IC:

The 1st RLD(Republican liberty dragoons, my Spec Ops) Brigade(2,000 men), took off from an undisclosed foward CLF airbase. The C-130's were un-escorted because thier flight path took them through friendly airspace the whole way. Commander of the brigade,(also commander of the RLD's as a whole) the infamous; Brig. Gen. Roberts. AKA Hawk. He gave the order, and the men filed out of the cargo bays, not worrying about stealth they opened thier shoots right off, and eventually landed across the river from Osaria. As soon as the ywere all aon the ground and they organized, Roberts got on the comm to raise the Omz Army.

Oh...I must have missed the general steriotyping rant in bold. I tend not to pay attention to such things. I'm sorry you have such misconceptions floating around in your ignorant head.

OOC: New thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90876

OOC: All in favor or ignoring Steel Butterflt from this entire RP and the new RP thread on the charges of being a cocky @sshole for no reason what so ever other than him being upset that he cant use future tech because he isnt good enough to win with modern, please signify with an 'Aye'.

////GINA FLASH REPORT////

Today, the IDF Naval Command announced that the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 8th Grand Fleets were pushed into an abnormal rotation. Sources within the IDF High Command reported that two fleets are moving towards Sniper Country and two others towards Omz222, although none of the ships are reportedly to approach the combatants near the latter country.

OOC: New thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90876

NOTE TO ALL INVOLVED: Please post in the above thread from now on. Thank you.
Also please remember the routines, no "sending 293808209 people to Omz222". At least, not immediately.

NOTE TO OTHER NERTUAL PARTIES: the RP will close, because both sides has grown huge. Thank you for your understanding.

OOC: Well, no need to get angry at these kinds of situations :P

Just don't give a crap about his insults. At least, I don't.

OOC: Since that's the timeframe you use for defining modern tech then I think that the guass rifles that Iuthia and I use...

OOC: Don't bring me into your tech arguement, I've already stated that my guass rifles are not sufficiently powerful enough to count as anything more then an exspensive assault rifle. They have never had any in game effect with exception to threads where people RP the effects themselves (see WV's description of Guass Rifle round smashing through powered armour).

Eitherway, my Gauss Rifles are basically assault rifles... I won't RP any additional effect becuase I never really have ever RPed additional effects. If it's really an issue I will use my conventional weapons that are usually reserved for times of dire need, with brings me down to normal weapon with the same effect as gauss rifles... only they aren't as cool.

I never intended to quickly deploy large numbers of troops becuase it's damn near impossible and I'm not willing to use that much naval forces.

Now I'm done with that OOC declaration, I will look at starting a IC declaration.
