Today the international community watches everything and everyone, spy technology is prevalent and it is almost impossible to do anything without anyone taking note of it.

Now scenes of tanks manoeuvring into formation, large numbers of infantry gearing up on to trucks and assorted transportation and a shift in the places where planes are been kept. Slowly with time, a large force moves to some plains near the Theodron borders…
No press releases have been issued and the local media has not said a word, embassies have not heard anything from the Iuthian people and no information beyond satellite and maybe the odd illegitimate recon plane is available, it is even suggested that the ground level of the military do not know what is going on, that this is just a training exercise.

Camp is set and temporary bases are formed, it is estimated that 100’000 troops have been moved over several days, large numbers of tanks (est.900 various) and aerial patrols from nearby airfield, the closest city being Dorma where a couple military based are.

Currently they have been camped there for several days with more and more arrivals coming in every day as the world watches in wonder…

OOC: Here is another map (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67678&highlight=), zoomed out a little in to see all the near by nations to Iuthia… (Warning, big picture)...

OOC: Second and final note, this is the same thread as in the NationStates forum...

Vervun would like to inquire just why such a massive military build-up is occuring on your border with Theodron.

The government of Inis Chonaill would warn Iuthia that any offensive action against Theodron would force the Imperial forces to become involved. As a guarantee of Theodron saftey we are immediately moving elements of the Imperial Navy to the Iuthian coast. LR Orlaith and LR Aoife set sail today.

Communiqué to Vervun

[Encrypting information…………information encrypted, securing communication channels…………secure channel found]

Dear leaders of Vervun,

Iuthia is currently holding large-scale training exercises in and around the area of the Dur’tal Plains near Dorma City. The terrain is considered ideal for such an exercise where we can test our men’s mobilisation speed and efficiency under ideal conditions.

We understand you alarm at our location but we assure you that everything is under control and that these training grounds are well within our own nation. However, should you have further complaints we please direct them at our public relations minister.

Thankyou,

Acting Lord General Ursand, leader of Iuthia

We would like to warn the government of Inis Chonaill that moving your Imperial Navy into our internationally recognised waters would amount to suicide, as we do not take such threats lightly…

We ask that you keep out of Iuthian business and threaten someone your own size. We will continue our exercise to understand how quickly the Iuthian army can mobilise… though I assure you, we have only mobilised a fraction of our over all forces.

Acting Lord General Ursand, leader of Iuthia

To the Nation of Iuthia,

Empire of Gradenk is alarmed at your suddent large scale mobilisation of forces. May we ask why you're doing that? The nation of Iuthia has always been a friend of sorts to Gradenk due to your alliance with several of our allies. Perhaps you have justification for such large scale mobilisation...but we're indeed alarmed as you've never send a diplomatic communique to to the international Community.

Please reply,
Foreign Ministry,
Empire of Gradenk.

Press Statement from the Citadel

The Five Civilized Nations are also alarmed by the Iuthian movements, but we will support any Iuthian invasions. 60,000 troops have been mobilized to support the Iuthians...

In addition, any movements by Inis Chonaill into the area will be considered an act of war and will cause of state of war to exist between our two countries. We the government of the Five Civilized Nations warn Inis Chonaill to stay out...

--Statement of the Defense Minister, Messaline Armand

To the Nation of Gradenk,

We feel no need to justify our actions to the international community, while we can understand their concern over such a mobilisation; we fully understand the consequences of our actions… this training exercise will tell us a lot of information about our troops capabilities. We will telegram you will further details.

However, I’m sure that if Thaedron has a problem with the location of our exercises they will contact us about it.

Acting Lord General Ursand, leader of Iuthia

The government of Vervun would like to thank Iuthia for it's communique and explanation. That is all we require, and hope you keep to your word.

In response to the current military build-up in Iuthia, I feel it only adequate to prepare a military build up of my own. As such we the governmentof Foolish Pesants will mobilize 50,000 troops.

This information has been broadcasted in the air of mutual defence and understanding.

Lord Reilock Coratha
