OOC: If your nation has a prior, provable claim to any of these islands, please inform me. Also, if you tested nukes on the Marshall Islands, please let me know. This is not for you to claim these islands now.

IC: The report crossed many desks, moved from point to point, bouncing in the hallowed halls with no real destination. Until, that is, it found the desk of Secretary of State Garvin...

With the recent expansion of several other nations into Pacific waters, and the constantly shifting tendancies of this world, it has become advisable to expand our boundaries. We cannot allow other nations to establish island chains leading into our nation, and we must proactively claim these islands. The list of advisable options is attatched. The local populations, when they exist, are small and primitive, and easily brought about to our needs. We must begin to seize outwards, before others can reach inwards...

Garvin lowered his papers, facing Chancellor Fenris. "Sir, you've seen this report. This needs to be done, sir. We need to establish a buffer zone around our nation."

Fenris nodded to the SecState. "Very well, John. Although, I think this should be a Directorate wide effort."

"Sir, are you sure?"

"Of course, John. We claim them for the region, and look less agressive."

"Thank you, sir."

Garvin left the room, and on the paper, several island names were visible....

Wake Island
Peale Island
Wilkes Island
Guadalcanal
Norfolk Island
Phillip Island
San Christobal
Santa Isabel
Malaita Island
Choiseul Island
...
The list continued.

The ports readied. A fleet would be dispatched soon, a flotilla of tankers and cargo vessels to match the military escorts.

EDIT: Removed previously claimed lands.

An emergency session has been called to discuss the invasion of SouthPacific territory (Guam and the Marshall Islands).
SP forces have been placed on high alert.
The government calls on Kaukolastan to end its illegal occupation of South Pacific territory.

OOC: If you own it, I'll take it off the list. Do you have proof of ownership?

Kuril Islands? Not on the list. :)

Being as you're a March Nation and have the name "Southpacific", I'll take your word for this. :wink:

But, yeah. If you have ANY RL territory, keep it constantly claimed, or else it will be claimed about 98725492 times. Guam and Marshal Islands are removed from list.

I am the leader of the Pacific Islands. My region doesn't occupy any RL islands but I believe that we are in your buffer zone. Telegram me if you need more information about our location.

Well, methinks that you really DO own Midway for some odd reason...

REMOVED.

OOC: My original nation died cause I wasn't able to log in awhile. The original was created in January but since I didn't know how to get it ressurrected at the time, I created another one with the same name.
Everyone's operated under the assumption that the old and new nations were the same ones. Though, if I had the original, the pop would be bigger and it would be as powerful as whittier.

The Austar Union government shows its concern as we own a small island chain protectorate, the Fleetwood Islands.

It is located somewhere near the Solomon Islands.

We want assurance that the Fleetwood Islands will not be affected...

We have no ambitions on the Fleetwood Islands, and will not strike or seize those lands.

OOC: This thread sat for two days, with no objections. As of now, the list is fixed. The Land Grab Begins...

IC: Wake Island was first....

The dawn light cut razors on the ocean surface, glistening right up to the steel hulls of the Fleet. The Dominator floated there, her great guns trained on no ship or surface target. Behind her, the armada was arrayed, vast lines of convoy vessels and tankers, all ready to construct the bases and markets on these thus far uncivilized islands. On the bridge, Cmdr. Johan spoke to Admiral Drasick. "Sir, we can't pull the tankers into the coves, becuase of the reef."

"Really?" Drasick asked.

Between on the island and the flotilla, the exotic coral reef glistened. It formed a natural barier against any large ships moving into the harbor, and contained many exotic species of aquatic life. Unfortunately, this momument of natural beauty stood in the path of Kaukolastani achievement. Johan spoke, "This reef is the home of many exotic lifeforms, including some exlcusive to this reef. Many marine biologists would give an arm and leg to get here." The officer pulled at his collar a little as the pleasant breeze swept past them, making the palms bob.

Drasick nodded. "That's too bad. Remove it."

"Aye, sir." Johan spun. "Fire!"

The guns roared, and the dreadnought rocked, the tens of thousands of pounds of explosive slamming into the reef. The water fountained out, glistening in the air. Chunks of burning reef and fish hurtled out, raining down amid the new canal. Drasick turned back coolly to the Captain of the vessel. "Move in, Captain. Inform the fleet to follow. We just built a road." The tankers filed through the path the Dominator had created. Seven species of life died in that barrage, but no one would ever know. The water was already calming...

Thoughout the Pacific, more scenes played out. By noon, the islands were secure, and construction began.
