OOC: I realize that one nation is listed as having "the vast majority" of Antarctica. Therefore, I would like this nation that begins with a P (I forgot the rest of the name) to TM me and we can discuss what part of Antarctica he doesn't have...

IC - announcement:

A military expedition has set sail for a part of Antarctica, in order to claim it for the Zoogie People. Details about the numbers and types of ships involved are unknown, although it appears that there is some sort of aircraft/helicopter platform as well as destroyers acquired from Antarctica123.

This expedition is made not to satisfy an imperialist craving; rather, it is the give the Zoogie People an excellent science base, where much research will be performed, many photographs of penguins will be taken, and cold-weather, no-fire military excercises will be practiced...in addition, it is rumoured that the Zoogie People is planning next with its space program a manned expedition to...somewhere, that is definitely not Earth. Therefore, this land could be a possible training platform for astronauts as well.

We are interested in acquiring as much of the land and the surrounding islands as possible, and are also willing to pay the current owner of a vast majority of Antarctica for certain parts of their land in addition to what they don't own. We are willing to share the use of this land with scientists and researchers from other countries, and non-live-fire training areas with other nations in our region allied to us.

Gregloristan is interested in pursuing a treaty with your proud nation, that will result in financial aid for our struggling, small nation, to build a proud and mighty military that is capable of fighting in extreme environments (including the Antarctic). We are prepared to send a platoon of our fighting teens, and group of 14 year God-fearing boys that are ready to die for our fair nation, and for God. If you will supply the training and equipment for these boys, we will be willing to launder money for any covert operations you would like to keep secret from your own people. I assure you, you have never seen the likes of these boys, dedicated to their righteous cause.

Gregloristan awaits your response.

Free Pacific States currently has multiple science outposts (completly civilian, no military) stationed throughout the claimed and unclaimed areas of Anarctica. We would like to request permission to keep these outposts fully staffed (even if their in your territory) due to the important work they are accomplishing. We would welcome expansions on these centers and cooperation between our scientists with yours, but we would like to keep our own men up there.

So long as we get to continue researching there, we will be very thankfull, and will do our best to help support your colonization/building of science outposts with what equitment and manpower we have, or can easily transport, to the area.

Free Pacific States, you will be able to keep all your outposts fully staffed at all times in Antarctica, and we will assist you in any issues there as you require; our scientists would be more than willing to cooperate with yours.

Gregloristan, I'm not quite sure what you mean...what are the terms of the treaty? We may be interested in an alliance, but we do not need assistence in terms of military, as we expect to face no more than thirty hostile penguins in the Antarctic. Our fleet is there primarily for transportation purposes...and may be stationed there, because, well, it's a cold-weather fleet and the Antarctic will be our coldest possesion. Please explain the terms of such a treaty once more...

Moontian has some parts of Antarctica he acquired from Antarctica123 and he will be joining our region, The Snowy Lands of Antarctica. I'd prefer you didn't claim Antarctica, well for obvious reasons... :wink:

There is bit of a war going on in the area. Watch your head! :)

The Federation of Centralamerican States would like to congratulate all participating countries for their cooperation in the 'conquest' of Antartica. The Federation at this time does not wish to incur in any activity, but is willing to supply moral support for all of the participating countries.

Maj. Michales:

Foreigners on Antartica, repeat, foreigners on Antaritica. Go condition Orange. Antartica One must be kept secret AT ALL COSTS. Good luck.

LRR has many science outposts in Antarctica, and we would be happy to accomodate your personell. Why do you need troops to ecure a peaceful science outpost?

OOC: I hope you aren't threatening with invasion Zoogie. We've been somewhat allies and there are nations over two billion in the Snowy Lands. We might agree to letting you build a couple of bases but if your thinking of expanding here...no thanks. The SLOA is quite a large region, we have our on site and everything, no offence but an invasion just wouldn't work.

We in Gregloristan are more interested in training with your troops in any military exercises than we are in any formal alliances. I am afraid that our small nation can offer you little other than religious training in payment, but it will strengthen cultural bonds between our troops to have our teen soldiers training with you in Antarctica. Please let us know if this is acceptable to you.

Praise be to G.

OOC: Zoogie, get a move on and build. I have nice idea for the parting of the F-42 :wink:

penguisiana wishes to claim some land for a science study as well. We wish that not a single Penguin gets hurt in ur experiments or dispute over land.

we will station a small fleet next to our landing spot, we are netural and wish to have no military combat

OOC:I am never claiming RL land, never, I have four threads this week that degraded down to shite, over stupid land claims.

IC:The Nation of Erinin being the founder of the region of The Ancient of Hibernians. A region of nations with merchant and research interests would request that ANY of the nations owning land in Antarctica would allow AoH scientists(primarily from Erinin) to preform research there, should the need arise for research in such terrain. Antarctica is the only place in the world like it is, that makes it very valuable to scientific study.
As well as being located over the magnetic pole. Ice core samples of water frozen over a million years ago and countless other things that only Antarctica can provide.
We hope that you all see fit to maintain good relations with the entire scientific community.

I'm happy science is such a great priority here. On behalf of my nation, I'd like to thank the Zoogie People for allowing me to keep researching at my bases. To put it in the words of one of my greatest friends, President Terrus, mi casa es tu casa. Our research stations are completly open to your people.

What are these lands acquired from Antarctica123? He was the first to lay claims to Antarctica and recognized the SLOA as the holders of Antarctica. We may allow you an island for research and maybe a little training, but we prefer you not to move inland.

OOC: Funny thing is, I got the same idea as you, Zoogie! I also TM'ed Pablicosta on Antarctica, offering to buy a plot of land, but I'm still waiting an answer.

IC: Greetings, Zoogie People! Interestingly enough, we have also planned to send a team to Antarctica. We are currently discussing the situation with Pablicosta. However, we are interested that if our ship could accompany yours on the journey, assuming the deal goes through? Our ship is non-naval, and has 200 valuable droids on it. We would be in need of a sort of escort. We promise we won't cause any harm on our journey with you, and we will establish base camp far away from you (or close by, if you don't mind the company). Being machinery, we mind little of the temperature, and could help you establish your HQ in repayment for the escort.

And on a side note, while we are discussing buying land from Pablicosta, we have not heard a response so far. If there are any other nations out there who have a colony on Antarctica, we would gladly buy a small plot of land from you. Not large, enough to house 200 droids and an oil derrick, but we would greatly respect it. After mostly fixing our resources and economy, we have begun to look for fossil fuel in farther areas, and Antarctica seems like a promising place.

We, too, have not received response from Pablicosta. We woul descort you, but you seem to be in future tech (droids?) so we are in two completely different timeframes.

OOC: Actually, it's modern tech. The only really hi-tech is the supercomputer leader. The other machinery are simple robots working with basic A.I. and hydraulic joints, built with designs copied off cars and the like. Of course, there are some leader robots with a higher intelligence, but even they have a modern-tech design excluding the advanced A.I. I just use the term 'droids' because it sounds cooler than 'robots'. :wink:

So although my nation sounds future-tech, lead's the best our guns are packing! :)

Not really anything much more than that, actually. Our nation is always afraid of losing our much needed fossil fuel (droids don't run on air, you know) and iron for manufacturing new droids, which is why we wish to search for resources outside of our island, which does not have an abundant amount of fuel or iron. On Antarctica we might also do research on the land under the ice sheet, and also study meteorites on the continent (Antarctica is known of the meteorites found there). But if you would not prefer us to join you, then we can travel by ourselves to Antarctica. In either case, we wish you good luck on your journey.

OOC: Yeah, I admit the A.I. is really hi-tech, but when you think about, there really wouldn't be any other way to run a nation like mine (well, there might, but it'd be too difficult for my RP'ing skills. They're good, but not the best). Putting it this way, my nation has no spaceships, it has no plasma technology or cold fusion (though in the future I might look into those), the droids operate on fossil fuels, and our military contains normal-tech weaponry like assault rifles, not particle accelerator turbine cannons. Think of the droids as cars that can think. ...and that have hydraulic claws. :lol:

I want a penguin. :(

Alright, you can join our fleet..

We regret to inform that we have already finished preparations and will leave on our own. That's not to say that we don't wish the best of luck for the both of us on this new soil. ...or snow. ...or something.

Sure, whatever floats your boat.

I, his holy emperor of Bazrael, wish to offer you, the Zoogie People, the chance to ally with us, rather than the pathetic One-God worshipping heathens of Gregloristan. We will not only give you nothing but a cross cultural exchange as Gregloristan has offered, but we will also bring you lunch.

And rest assured, nothing beats a good homecooked Bazraeli meal.

The ATA Minstry is proud of seeing Zoogie People grow into advanced techology. This is making the ATA Citizens even happier, that Zoogie is growing stronger and that ATA has a smart ally. ATA will proudly donate 200 billion to Zoogie Affairs and Zoogie People Exploration Association.

Bazrael, because of the new, less corrupt, more democratic process underway in Zoogiedom (yes, one of these days my nation page will be able to reflct that), our alliance formations will require a vote and ratification - e.g, OOC, we're looking into your nation right now. An alliance with both of you is possible.

ATA, we welcome your support and much of the new government is happy to see relationships repaired between our nations. We will find a way to repay you for your kindness.

We have received a reply from Pablicosta; it has been confirmed that we have established a small land base on the North-East area of Antarctica...

Final update: in addition to all the Antarctican lands not under Pablicosta or any other nation's control, we have acquire an additional 105 square miles for the price of $160 million.

Ok, bump for any objections....

OOC:

Just tell me when there is a radar up and running.

Radar?
