Dominion of Ubumedu Occupies Obscure Island Groups!
The Dominion of Ubumedu has occupied the following islands, atolls, reefs, and island groups:
Spratly Islands: 8 38 N, 111 55 E
Europa Island: 22 20 S, 40 22 E
Glorioso Islands: 11 30 S, 47 20 E
Juan de Nova Island: 17 03 S, 42 45 E
Paracel Islands: 16 30 N 112 00 E
Tromelin Island: 15 52 S, 54 25 E

Palmyra Atoll: 5 52 N, 162 06 W
If any nation disputes these claims, would they please post a reason and link. If no valid counterclaims are made after one week, Ubumedu reserves the right to call these islands their own. Thank you.

By what right do you claim our ancestral homelands?
Where have you claimed these islands before? Do you have a link?
That is not a explenation. State your basis for a claim on these islands.
Ubumedu claims these islands as their own for use as a homeland, military bases, etc. We also noticed that these isalnds had ideal landforms and had not been claimed.
BUMP
Ubumedu does not recognize Wetland's claims to any of these islands at the current time

Someone should convince him to stay away form these islands. I would like to but i'd be called a new-nation-picker-on-er... (is that a word):?

There is no reason to dispute these claims unless you either have or know of a valid claim to these islands, or you're just obnoxious and like obstructing people for no good reason.
my nation humbly requests that you stop your bickering over a couple of islands. If you cannot then I sujest that the members of your regions vote on the matter

My thoughts exactly. Ubumedu will back off if Wetland can provide proof of prior ownership.

OOC:
I see nothign wrong with claiming those island (if thats what floats your boat) but there may be soem concerns:
Those nations that have "claims" to the Rl possesing nation may just decide to be awkward.
Also those islands in the Mozambique Channel may just be slap bang in sphere s of influence of some large nations (africa gets confusing, i know Sniper Country has concerns in that neck of the woods, United Elias might too).
Also wouldn't it be a pain to administer so many small and very spread out islands?
Personallyi have no concern over them, the only vaguely tropical island i have concerns with are fictional ones off the atlantic coast of africa.
We have citizens on a few of those islands. I demand you return the citizens before we allow you to keep those islands.
I have already claimed Tromelin Island, and I also have the Andaman Islands, Mauritius, the northern Indonesian islands, along with Singapore Island. Tromelin island is the home of over 5 million Singapurans, and no, you cannot have it. This number is sure to grow.
After much deliberation we have decided not to meddle with the influence sphere of United Elias. We have decided to only claim Norfolk Island: 29 02 S, 167 57 E. The first fleet has been sent to reinforce our claim.

THe Commonwealth of Gallafrey supports Wetland's claim to Norfolk Island and is sending a naval carrier group to Norfolk Island to conduct naval exercises with Wetland.
The Federation of Wetland welcomes the support of Gallafrey and looks forward to the naval exercises near Norfolk island.
The Dominion of Ubumedu hereby revokes it's claims on Tromelin and Norfolk Island. However, we still would like to see proof of prior occupation.
The Federation of Wetland has never been able to occupy them unfortunatly. But we have classified documents which clearly prove they were claimed by us. But we consider the matter resolved now. You will have to sort out your other claims with the rest.

Again, if anyone can provide proof of prior ownership, Ubumedu will back down from that island. However, we would still like to negotiate a solution.

Next time Ubumedu posts in this thread will be the last. You have all been warned.

Meh.
It's over, folks. Ubumedu is now ferrying civilians into the said locations. We now claim all those locations other than Tromelin and Norfolk Islands.
