The Federation of Nicholandia is currently forming an alliance with a view to invading the Moon and removing and/or destroying all UN presence currently there.

Once this is done, the Federation and her allies shall apportion the Moon as we see fit, with a view to creating conditions of true capitalism.

Chose your side, you are either with us or against us. The armies are massing - we are about to let slip the dogs of war!

Nicholas J. Rogers
CEO, Federation of Nicholandia

*Slap*

Idiot.

Capitalism cannot rule over all! The Golden Valley feels we cannot let a rival...world throw up a threat against our own! for the wolrds best interests The armed Republic Of The Golden Valley Will Stand In Your Way!

Please think about what we are doing, I call a conference! anyone who has interests in these matters should attend! we shall not let this happen!

Call such a conference if you wish, I and my ministers shall attend. I feel it necesssary to inform you, however, that there is little chance of my policy being altered by it, or my armies being called back.

As we are not trading nations i ask that all who are with this nation close you links and impose economic santions upon this nation. the moon is neutral, it is not to be invaded.

Please think about what you plan to do and the effects on the rest of the world!

In responce, the Wazzu government aired an official comment about a related, and much more important issue concerning the moon.

Statement from Manar Tawam, Speaker for Wazzu:

"Wazzu has had a colony on Luna for hundreads of years. Attempts to fight over territory and cause mass devistation will be...

"...watched with great amusement by Wazzuians everywhere and boadcast live to nations throughout the solar system. National media networks may contact South Northmen News, a subsidy of Elegant Solutions for information regarding purchacing of radio, television, and tri-D content of any such conflict.

"Thank you for your time."


EDIT: Newsline: "The Speaker also asked off camera that any nations landing on Luna please ignore sheep grazing on the surface. The animals are forign bioengineered products meant to revolutionize the vacuum-based wool and meat markets. All the products are owned by a forign corporation and molestation of the sheep may result in legal action on behalf of Wazzu and Forign corporations.

Not a good idea...Dont be foolish

armies? 3 guys with sticks sitting on fireworks doesn't count as a spacial expeditionary force



but it would be funny http://www.prowrestling.com/discuss/images/smilies/old/suspicious.gif

Touch Luna and twenty nations will respond. Even if you want to kill the UN. We don't like the words invasion and moon in the same sentence.

-Ambassador Krall'c

*Pulls out massive blockade fleet to protect moon*

"Anyone want a piece of this!?!"

*raises hand* Yeah... you blockade the moon, you cut off my colony and shipyards. Not to mention the fleet there. Bad idea.

*raises hand* Yeah... you blockade the moon, you cut off my colony and shipyards. Not to mention the fleet there. Bad idea.

"Sorry..."

*moves blockade to earth orbit and prepares to pinpoint bombard the Federation of Nicholandia and its allies*

*sends logistical support to blockade*

thats about all i can contribute to the spacial matter, though troops are within nicholandia vicinity upon earth ready for battle should worst come to worst.

SAAF (speacial air assault force [ooc - my sas boys]) moved towards lauch pad coordinates to sabotage mission!

FOR OFFICIAL RELEASE:

The Confederation of the Eternal Cross has officially declared support for CEO Rogers of the Federation of Nicholandia in his bid to contest the over-legistlative dominion of the UN.

Although military support is not expected to be provided, monetary funds will likely be made available from the Eternal Cross Treasury.

Pendragon Stevenson issued this statement earlier this morning: "The UN, in its arrogance, sees fit to have total sway over lunar operations and access? How is this anything other than disguised, mandated imperialism?"

"Although we submit to its legislation, our top lobbyists are seeking to bring reform to this lumbering organization and its massive, inefficient bureaucracy."

Our calls were not returned.

IN OTHER NEWS:
The Department of the Treasury has announced its new design for the Cruce, featuring a Vigilant Hawk on the front embracing a cross and a thunderbolt, and the Crest of the Pendragon on the back, under the words of the national motto, "Might makes Right."

Lets fly to the moon :-D

The Golden Valley asks Five Civilised Nations and Crimmond to join an alliance against Moon Invasion, also i hope you will stand by the UN and not fall to this lower rank of society!

(ooc - catchier name tho methinks, Alliance Against Moon Invasion? tacky)

*sends 15 G'rnack Heavy Cruisers over Nicholandia*

Drop your plans to invade the moon or we will open fire!

(Please note this is a joke.)

wo wo wo calm down! let me extract my troops before you do anything like that! gives us an hour to complete sabatory actions within launching facility. there is no need for mass anihalation!

Large areas of the moon are in the Whittier Pact and at least one lunar nation has nuclear weapons capable of hitting your cities.
Whittier will defend its allies. I suggest you back down.

The PeacefulYetBaldMonks of Gleph send a 100 Monk Strong deligation to the LaunchPad to surround and deter any further launch procedures.

HisHighness TheGrandGleph speaks;

"My Sons and Daughters, think no more of invading Luna. At Peace You must be."

No you don't. Have the moon belongs to me. Invade and I'll send some nukes up your where the sun don't shine.

<<message>>
infiltrator sabatory force has been comprimised, i repeat comprimised, calls for extraction with imediate effect, taking heavy fire, mission incomplete, request support....
<<message ends>>

we have failed my friends, and the moon invasion is going to go ahead! we have done what we can, we have ground troops moving in. and we request support! Fight Hard, Die Well!

OOC- considering whitter has 2034 posts and you have 5, i suggest that he does have most control of the moon, dont be stupid!

Perhaps you like this incarnation of me better.

yah ok, wanna fight about that? jk, were gonna have one anyway!

<<inteligence report>>

civil war has broken out in west moon: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127913

so whether they are capable of defending the moon or claiming it theirs is now rather matter for debate. we do not know fully whose side they lie on, but as they live upon the moon i suggest they would be with the AAMI but we cannot be sure.

<<end of report>>

whose side you on anyway?

No you don't. Have the moon belongs to me. Invade and I'll send some nukes up your where the sun don't shine.

OOC: Just a little correction for everyone not familiar with Whittier's attempt to dominate the moon...

He owns half of the region "Earths Moon", which does not include the entire moon. Think of it as being similar to regions on Earth.

There are many other lunar nations in NS, most (but not all) of which are "future-tech."

Anyway, I thought I had to speak up. Whittier likes to get attention by deliberately making his posts easy to misinterpret (internet slang: Trolling).


EDIT: Actually, I wonder if I am warning Whittier about himself. Whittier is known to make several puppet accounts and play with himself. Maybe I should just leave this alone now.

An Important Announcement -

The Nicholandia Spacefleet has been launched. It is currently approaching the Moon. Commando teams have been sent ahead and are now combing the surface flushing out opposition. Several senior UN officials have been rounded up and imprisoned.

Resist the Federation at your peril.

CEO, Federation of Nicholandia

Unless new regions were created on the moon, Earth's moon region, as of its creation date, is exactly one half the size of the moon causing the moon to be double its rl size. I own all of Earth's Moon region, not just half of it. But because Earth's Moon doubled the moon's size and now constitutes half of it, I own half the moon by de facto.
Actually, most moon nations are future tech, but West Moon is only modern tech. No spaceships only nukes. No space transports, only space shuttles.

"Hmm...perhaps I should do something to deal with this invasion of the moon." President Alex Masaki said.

"What about an attack by Nebulon-Bs?" The Defense Secretary asked.

"Hmm. Not bad. I'd say two at the most will do."

"A Star Destroyer would be nice,"

"But overkill."

"All right."

Two Nebulon-B frigates were dispatched to the moon from Saturn, to monitor events and await further orders.

Part of the Nicholandia Spacefleet has become embroiled in a fire-fight with hostile ships. It is my sad duty to inform the people of the Federation of Nicholandia that Grand Admiral Lord Scutts, one of our greatest soldiers, has been killed in combat. Admiral Sir Roger Barrington-Brown has taken over as Commander in Chief of the Lunar Invasion.

However, this is but a blip. The invasion is so far a success. Having met with little opposition, Federation ground forces have been landed and are currently sweeping the surface of the Moon. We have captured several important bases and are currently forming defensive positions.

Victory grows ever nearer...

Sincerely yours,

Charles, Lord Bourke
Minister for Defence
Federation of Nicholandia

Nicholandia, the USSY demands that you stop what you are doing.

I dont think asking him to stop is gonna work anymore! the sabatage was a failure, i dont think theres stopping him. you lot up there do what you can against his ships. i shal mount an invasion on nicholandia from the earth!

<<message to all who are in the AAMI (aliance against moon invasion)>>

it is a common courtesy, not a requirement to open fire upon the nation of nicholandia, in otherwords, it would be nice if you did guys!

FIGHT HARD, DIE WELL!

<<message ends>>

for crying out loud! open fire! drink up me hearties yo ho!

OOC:You are foolish Nicholandria.

The Traileric Armada is en-route for an interception course with the fleet heading for the moon.I would suggest you retreat before we arrive.Your ships are obviously far inferior and much fewer than ours.You will not survive if you continue on your course.Cease now.

Hostilities against Eredron's sovereign territory on the moon will not tolerated.

OOC: Furthermore, most of you are too young to be able to reach the moon anyway.

OOC: Furthermore, most of you are too young to be able to reach the moon anyway.

OOC: I agree.

Dontgonearthere has been expermimenting with New Nation Spacetravel products, perhaps you would like to invest?

The Nebulon-Bs launched an X-wing squadron each (the carry 2 squadrons each), and the two starfighter squadrons started strafing Nicholandia troop positions with their red laser bolts. The Frigates then moved to aid any space fleet by firing turbolasers upon the Nicholandia fleet. Mostly designed to combat starfighters, the frigates do pack a punch in their own right, and the enemy should be glad the President didn't order a Star Destroyer into the area (5 at this time).

OOC: Nicholandia, what's you fleet number, anyway?

The Dominion of Kanuckistan, while not having any actual holdings on the Moon, finds Nicholandia's actions both stupid and arrogant to the Nth degree, and thus has deemed this a perfect opertunity for some live-fire training exercises.

The Thunderhead-Class Superfortresses KHGV Not Covered Under Warrenty, KHGV Fuzzy Kitten, and KHGV Proactive Target Acquisition are currently in Earth orbit and have been given clearance to engage and smite the Nicholandia fleet; ETA under conventional Inertial Direct-Drives is an estimated five minutes, although the now-enemy fleet is already well within weapons range, and several ultra-high-yeild anti-formation catitalship missiles have been launched under heavy ECM as a prelude.

OOC:
In retrospect, three Superfortresses is... obscene overkill. Those missiles alone should decimate his fleet.

Bump

The Dictatorship of Octanus will send its troops to back an invasion of the moon. We will smite all who oppose us.

Nicholandia this notice is to inform you and your allies that we have issued orders to all Kormanthian Starships to stop your forces from conquest of the moon. Although we own no property on the moon ourselves, we do have allies that do.
You are hereby ordered to stand down, I have authorized
deadly force to used against you & your allies. Kormanthian Starships with Space Marines have been deployed. If you do not comply your forces will be totally destroyed.


Signed

King Mateo II Of Kormanthor

The Traileric Fleet opens fire on the direct front of the Nicholandrian vessels.BAsically just a conglomerate of missiles followed by a fighter bombardment who fired yet more missiles.

Do not even THINK of attacking my Moon empalcements, on pain of pain.

"What in hell is going on? I thought all the Nebulon-B's in Sol had been replaced by the G class destroyer..."

"The ships fly under the flag of... CoreWorlds."

"Oh, them. I guess those ISD's trashed the budget."

"That is a fair assesment. The fleets are starting to engage, sir. I suggest the more direct route... we know where the capital of the agressors is."

"Advise Admiral Saratov to move the Javelin ships into Geo-Sync above... Galts Gulch Colorado. Prepare for tactical Ortillery strike. Lets end this before our IQ's drop."

"Aye sir!"

----------

From the largest space station in orbit over the European continent(OOC: That I know of...) eight ships depart. Along the beam of four of these ships are nothing but rows upon rows of weapons designed for ortilery strikes. The other four are heavy cruisers, acting as escorts for the flying tinderboxes they are with.

They soon approach the North American continent(Unless there are two Colorados... then they go to the correct one.) and the ships begin prefire squencing and syncronizing of fire computers. No signals are sent. None are responded to. Any ship coming within eight kilometers is fired upon three times with warning shots, as none would hit unless an overzealous helmsman flew into one of them.

Meanwhile, the CSD (Core Star Destroyer) Hellfire jumps insystem to deliver some troops, then hangs around just in case it's needed for some ortillery strikes and overkill.

OOC:
Didn't think I had one, did you? :P

OOC:
Didn't think I had one, did you? :POOC: Yes, I did... you said you did, or one of your char's did. So I adlibbed the ongoing joke that anyone with an ISD has blown their budget.

IC: "Ah, hell." Was the response from Admiral Saratov, on the lead heavy cruiser. "Not another one of those damn things! Break radio silence, warn them not to get that Star Destroyer's fat ass in our way. No! Better yet, tell them to stay between us and anything the enemy has in orbit if it's more than satalites. They're a target waiting to be shot at anyway..."

"Aye sir! Message being sent."

After Captain Server stopped laughing, he sent the reply.

[code:1:16e8150130]Fine, fine. Just make sure you don't mess up our new paintjob. I'd hate to get a black smear on this Star Destroyer.[/code:1:16e8150130]

"Greetings Earthlings, and all sentients of the Sol System. I'm Bull Ester reporting for South Northmen News.

"Today, I'm in the Earth-Luna subsystem with a story sure to knock your socks off...with laughter! Certainly most people watching this broadcast see plenty of bad, massive space fights, WOOO-WEEE, this one takes the cake!

"Jim, why don't you swing that external camera about so our viewers can get a glimpse of this furball."

The camera swings around to see a group of eight ships, four running a standard screening pattern around four more. "Now what you see here is the only half-credible action taking place. A regional power known as Crimmond is bombarding a third world nation who thought it alone would remove the UN from the moon...not that Lady Luna has much of a problem with the UN.

"Now, Crimmond known for having the huge costs involved with maintaining a giant and constantly in use military, but it is by and far the most powerful and respected nation in the volume. Jim, show that next grouping there, will ya?"

A lone star destroyer appears on the screen. "Yup, thats right, you saw it here on SNN first! What we have here is your common, run-of-the-line staaar destoyaaar. As you probably know, star destroyers are most commonly found in the space navies of third-world nations.

"Giant in size, these mile long behemoths are more impressive to the eye then to the common sense. The nations who build these things usually can't affoard better then carbon-nanotube, the world's most common euphemism for common-cardboard. Now, there are a few nations that can afoard some simple 'armor' coatings on these things, but this nation ain't one of 'em...and its got two Ne-bu-lon B Frigates closer to the moon. Talk about a waste....

"But folks, you haven't heard the worst of it. Jim, pan that camera around again, let'em see the swarm."

Camera spins around in space and zooms in to a large volley of large missiles. "No no, Jim, I'll get that one in a second. I meant the other swarm."

The camera again pivots, this time to show a fair few ships and larger number of fighters tossing a huge number of missiles.

"Ok, now what we see here is a third-world nation trying to copy the mostly abandoned and definately outdated first-world technique of missile swarms on the so-called 'fleet' of space pods that doesn't even warrent an equivalent third-world status. Now Jim, show'em that moon force."

Camera cuts out and to a satelite view of vacuumed figures bouncing on the moon 'securing' abandoned and un-alligned family residences. "This here is the 'army' of that dust-bowl soon to be glass-bowl calling itself Nicholandia. Note the bulky, old-sytle space suits. Informants suggest they were made in days. I'm not sure how they even hold pressure. OH! Heh, looked like that one poped when the guy stumbled over a rock. Gotta be careful of them rocks...heh heh heh.

"OK Jim, enough of that action, bring us back to that first swarm.

"Now folks, this is perhaps the only credible space to space attack taking place...that is, it would be if those cap-ship killer missiles were aimed at cap ships. Those Nicholandia space pods don't much qualify. Kinda a waste, ain't it?

"Now, we here at SNN will be airing live show of the furrball on channels 621, 1540, and 1541 all day, every day, until the last poor savage pops his suit and boils his blood. Enjoy the show!"

"This news broadcast brought to you by The Cardboard Avenger, looking like a scolding jackass so you don't have to."

Ralph is only one of the about 1 million citizens on DA moon, and he was tired from work when he (once again) saw the deliberate fighting going on in the near- moon orbit.

Shiny he thought, still tired from work... Yes, the mines weren´t exactly the most pleasent place... Luckily, all the hard work was done by drones, which resulted in him working as an IT specialist for drone maintenance, but still...

He wondered idly if he should use his free time to collect debris, sometimes, the things one could find were *really* shiny, but in the end, sleeping was probably a better idea...

With that, he went to bed, not in the slightest way annoyed by the ongoing space battle, thanks to the complete lack of a lunar atmosphere.

*Emperor Ed fiddling with his satellite Reciever picks up a wierd broadcast on channel 1540
Ed: Hmm, is this Star Wars? I don't ever remember getting this channel....

*The South Northmen News logo appears on the screen, he continues watching for as a hapless person trips over a rock and explodes in his space suit... *

Ed: Hmmm if this is a real broadcast, I feel real bad for those guys that are getting the ortillary and the Swarm missles....

*pushes button on desk*

Ed: Jane, call the satellite company and find out what channel this is...

Jane: What do I look like a TV guide... Do it yourself, this is my lunch brake... *The sound of the secretary getting up and her heels clicking on the floor is heard as she walks away*

Ed: Hmmm... Well this is definatly better then starwars...

im launching a full scale assault on the ground into nicholandia, im planning to take out all earth to sky/space defense emplacements so your ships can if they want enter the atmosphere and invade, instead of just siting up tehre and anihalationg everything.

(ooc - i think invasions are more fun)

but if you really dont want to then say the word we'll pull out and let you lot get on with it!

From The Desk of the CEO

To whom it may concern,

There comes a time in the history of a nation where to gracefully admit defeat is better than to stubornly fight on and be destroyed.

Such a time has come for the Federation of Nicholandia.

I hereby notify the combatants that my forces have recieved the order to withdraw after sustaining heavy losses. I hope that my troops will be given safe passage back their homes.

Nicholandia was and remains a great nation, and we are still proud, but not too proud to know when enough is enough.

Nicholas J. Rogers
CEO, Federation of Nicholandia

You may want to see what the people of the Moon want as reprisal,lest they hunt you on your home front.

"Well, well." Captain Server said. "Looks like we defeated a nation attempting to take over the moon."

"Yes sir. I guess the threat of this 'big-assed' Star Destroyer is enough to make them capitulate."

"Yeah right. Well, let's stand down for now until the next newbie nation tries to take over the Moon."

"All right."

In other news, Wazzu's news stations in the nation were reportedly attacked by throngs of crazy Star Wars fans until stormtroopers were called in to arrest the dissentors. Seems that calling Star Destroyers cardboard is a grevious insult to the more rabid fans, but the Administration has not said anything to that effect.

(OOC: Urg...)

The Combined Five Civilized Nations Military scrambled to counter the sudden invasion of the moon. The 5CN homeworld of the Citadel, in the Virgo SuperCluster, 100 million light years away, prepared for war.

Meanwhile, the 9th Strike Fleet placed in orbit around the Earth was hurriedly moved towards the moon to assist Crimmond and Coreworlds. The flagship, the heart of the Five Civilized Nations Combined Navy, the Nahel Argama laced through space, flanked by escorting destroyers, cruisers, frigates, and corvettes.

Meanwhile, orbiting the moon, the small complement of three Nebula Class Assault Frigates moved to reinforce Crimmond's space forces. The medium-sized, yet extremely fast and lethal frigates quickly took a position along the left flank of Crimmond's forces.

This is Commodore Isaac O'Hara of the Five Civilized Nations Combined Fleet to Crimond's space forces. Repeat, this is Commodore Isaac O'Hara of the Five Civilized Nations Combined Fleet to Crimond's space forces...

stop, hold your fire. he has asked for safe passage, we must grant it what ever our grievences, let it be known we will show him mercy for his careless mistakes. he has learnt today. he underestimated the resistance and was defeated. mercy. grace. should he do it again, then we can anihalate!

The ships do not answer any more hails and settle into position over the small nation. They do not fire, merely locking on and choosing the best combonation of weapons for ammo-to-destruction ratio.

In a letter to the South Northman News offices, Admiral D'avo Vitch of the Kanuckistani High Gaurd, and commander of the Tunguska-Class Battleplate KHGV Slayer of Unwary Gods, politly requests a formal retraction of this claim.

The ships finish pre-fire sequencing and simply sit there.
