Declaration of War by the TNA [open rp]
The Two Nation Alliance of the Incorporated States of Towlieban and the Colony of Slipouri are declaring war on the Athletic Paradise of Sliponia. The transgressions made towards our two nations are simple. The nation of Slipouri is fighting for it's independence from the imperialist opppresion of Sliponia. Towlieban is fighting to rid itself of Sliponian influences as our previous rulers were foolish in accepting economic help from these heathens.
DATELINE: SLIPOURI:
Mass riots have erupted all through out Slipouri as the announcement was made that stated war on Sliponia has been declared. Below are just a few of the horrifying images taken from early this morning 'til now. Slipouri Federal News, working for you.

Given more information about the situation the USIH may consider intervening. We are strongly against dictators and oppresive regimes. Perhaps a link to the struggle for independence??
TRANSMISSION.
We are willing to send in Military Police to help with the riots...But give further details on the situation
The Federation of Azbinia is willing to assist in the struggle to contain the rioting and to maintain Slipouri's independence from Sliponia.
The Government has issued mobilization orders but has not yet declared war. Please notify us of your current situation.
Sliponia is now placing into effect embargos and strict economic sanctions against the following nations:
Towlieban
Slipouri
This list is subject to change to include any nations fighting against Sliponia.
As for the allegations, we have give Slipouri the utmost freedom. Sliponia's UN classifications vary. We have been a Civil Right's Love Fest, a Left-Leaning College State, a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise, an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, and a New York Times Democracy. We are offended by the claims that we are oppressing Slipouri, a Father Knows Best state.
As for Towlieban, you leaders were troubled and we offered them financial assitance so as to gain good standing in the Muslim and Arab world, but now you turn against us?
Both of the these nations, and any willing to help had best think twice before alliances of our own are called in to help solve this problem.
The Jingoistic States of Celtico will offer their help to Sliponia by virtue of common bonds. As this unfair declaration of war against Sliponia, the Jingoistic States of Celtico will now be leaving our current region which contains Slipouri and Towlieban.
Sliponia accepts Celtico's offer, assuming this becomes an actual war.

From this comment and from others made, we believe that we may have been hasty in taking the side of Towlieban. Upon further consideration we have decided to stay neutral but with a small leaning towards Sliponia.
Sliponia thanks IH for reconsidering their offer.
Newscast from Towlieban Federal News:
Following our joint declaration of war with Slipouri, the first attack has been made. We have shot down a civilian aircraft registered to "SlipAir".
*The voice continues as a video is shown from a ground view of a jumbo jet exploding.*
...These acts are to show the heathens of Sliponia that we mean what we say. Both Slipouri and Towlieban have had an increases in military funding to prepare our troops for attack. Towlieban is also following Slipouri's lead by kicking out all foriegners to prevent any internal attacks.
Also, the Two Nation Alliance is informing all nations that are willing to help us, shall recieve large financial backing.
[OOC: To anyone requesting links on the forum, we have none. This has been arranged over IMs and TGs. We'll just say it's a conflict that no one has noticed until now]
The Azbinian Government, appalled by that outrageously barbaric murder of civilians by Towlieban, hereby revokes any offers of assistance to either Towlieban or Slipouri. The Chief Minister has publicly apologized for his overhasty acceptance of Slipouri's version of events and was dismissed by President Valerie Burton.
The Azbinian Security Forces have been placed on high alert. Agents for the Central Revenue Service are investigating all holdings of the Towlieban and Slipourian governments and their citizens. Any and all such assets will be immediately seized. Towlieban assets will be transferred to Sliponia at the soonest possible convenience.
Chief Minister (pro tem.) Edward Nyman

"May our stills ne'er be empty, our marmots ne'er gamey, and our hearts ne'er weak!" declared Admiral Frederick Ogden as the Third Azbinian Fleet left port to the waters off Slipouri...
President Ross: Good evening, Sliponia. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly Slipourian and Towliebanian acts. The victims were in airplanes; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil acts of cowardice.
The image of the airplane burning and exploding have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong.
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Cowardly attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of Sliponia. These acts shattered a plane, but they cannot dent the armor that is Sliponian resolve.
Sliponia was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of Sliponia -- with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give help in any way they could.
Immediately following the attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in Slip City and surrounding areas to help local families with their losses.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have lost loved ones, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Slip City which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the Sliponian economy will be open for business, as well.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the Sliponian people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
Sliponia and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against evil. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us.
This is a day when all Sliponians from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. Sliponia has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None shall forget the brave efforts put for in battles past, and none of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Sliponia will remain strong in it's efforts to promote peace in the world, but as we are forced to result to force against these two nations, we request assitance from any and all nations. Thank you, and may your days be as blessed as they are profound.

The Island States wishes to currently declare it's neutrality in this matter. Although Towlieban and Slipouri have performed such heinous acts, it makes us wonder what would drive them to do so. Tread carefully Sliponia, Slipouri and Towlieban. We will be watching.
The Most Holy Empire os Callidus wishes to help Sliponia, for we too have once known the pain of a dictatorship and do not wish such a thing upon any nation. Callidus is ready and willing to be called upon.

Nice pictures??? Very gruesome. *Throws up*
I'm with the side of furthering democracy...?
