All television stations in Phyrric are tuned into the PNN for the following announcement:

Outside the Department of War for the UnAPS Alliance, the flags of each nation slowly twists in the breeze that flows across the City of Corcyra. The sky is crystal clear and occasionally an X35 fighter squadron can be seen flying overhead. The airspace is secured and security in the area is hightened.

The large iron fence and gate sparkle from the reflection of the sun as two men exit the building, down the red pathway that leads from the main entrance of the building to the gazeebo in the courtyard. The men raise their rifles and pump off 19 shots each. Each shot is a representation of each member of UnAPS. The men then proceed to attention with rifles exhausted.

Out comes an older gentleman from the entrance with two 4 star generals on each side. 6 soldiers are then positioned on each side of the generals, each wearing a baret made of silver and blue. These are the elite guards of the Royal Palace. The group then proceeds to the Gazeebo.

The older gentleman makes his way to the podium that has been set up, loud speakers and monitors line the courtyard as no entrance has been authorized by any personnel. He positions himself, ready to speak.

"The fellow Nations of UnAPS, news has reached me that by majority vote, and in response to the Declaration of War from Allanea on the Nation of Edolia, the Alliance of UnAPS has issued a Declaration of War on the Nation of Allanea.

This is a time that shall set a presidence and discovery that the UnAPS Alliance, by virtue and trust, is firmly against tyranny, aggression, and imperialism of nations that threaten and identify themselves as enemies of UnAPS.

The time has come, by treaty commitment and majority vote, that Article V Sections i, ii, and iii is immediately implemented. Twenty Nations of UnAPS have answered the call for defense of a fellow and trusted Nation, Edolia.

Let this article be understood that it presents a formal Declaration of War, from the Alliance of UnAPS to the Nation of Allanea. God save your nation."

Television screens then light up with reporters after reporters attemting to gain access to the Department of War, but to no avail. Cameras flash, people gathering around, trying to make space for their broadcasts, and a controlled chaos hits the Capitol. The Pyrrhus has yet to address the Nation.

The man turns around slowly, the general present arms, then escorts the man into the building. The guards proceed to the gates of the Department of War and line the front perimiter, weapons ready. A chopper slowly lifts off the roof of the building and heads enroute to Edolia. Onboard is the Secretary of War for UnAPS and the joint chiefs of staff.

Executive Building

The Secretary of Intelligence walked out of the giant room of screens connected to cameras monitoring many countries from satellites and various other means. He made his way to the Ministry of War and presented the Minister with some papers. After reading the papers, the Minister of War stood up and walked to the Hall of the Congress. He saluted the Commisar and the assembled congressmen and made his way up to the front podium. After whispering a few things to the Commisar, he stood at the podium.

"Comrades of the Congress, people viewing over the tvs, friends and enemies alike. I have just recieved word that UnAPS, by a majority vote, has declared war on the rogue nation of Allanea. Hattia supports this resolution as Allanea has declared war on our comrades in Edolia for no reason. I assure you, with the approval of the delegate's constituencies. Hattia will follow suit, upholding the mutual defense pact of UnAPS. Hattia will support our allies to the full extent of our ability. Allanean dogs, you will be smashed by the hammer of the proletariat and cut by the sickle of the proletariat. Cower in your house, for the might of the workingman is coming." The Minister nodded his head and stepped down amid the applause of the delegates.

4 hours later

The Commisar tapped his gavel on the podium, quieting the room. "The results of the referendum of the delegate's respective constituencies, the results are unanimous. 300 to 0 for a formal declaration of war. The resolution passes. He tapped his gavel again, and the delegates began applauding.

All over the nation, the cities were active. Militiamen armed themselves, military personnel prepared to ship out and the coastal cities blacked out. AWACs and fighters stepped up patrols around the nation and the coast and border guard corp was on full alert

Official Statement from the President of the Austar Union

"It is a sad day when tensions must escalate into open conflict. We will nevertheless, honor our fellow UnAPS members, and we will support them in thos conflict directly. As I make this announcement, my national armed forces have been put on red alert, and are preparing to be shipped out. We hope the Alleneans will be wise, and will back down, for their sake..."

Edwardo Sanchez stood, taking a moment to consider the depth of the situation at hand.

"As many of you watching this may already know, UnAPS has already officially declared war on Allanea by a large margin. It will be our first official alliance declaration of war.

Seeing that no Allaneans have been targetted by any of the UnAPS' military and that Allanea is obviously the agressor here, we would like Allanea to note that we are on the borderline between an all-out war... a war which will not leave the Allanean people pleased as to the result. Allanea's actions have done little to ease the situation; in fact, they have simply blown all our efforts of peace and diplomacy into the wind."

Sanchez paused; sipping from a glass of water.

"Mintar's military has been mobilized, although not deployed. And let this declaration serve as a warning to you, Allanea. Due to the agressive actions against UnAPS and Edolia, the Absolute Republic of Mintar officially declares Allanea an enemy of the people, beginning a state of war between our two nations. No forces will be deployed as of now, but if Allanea or the Allanean military shows any sign of attack preparations, consider yourself warned.

Thank you all, and good night."

The news cameras waited for a few moments of the cheering crowd, and flipped to the commentary...

Doujin Naval Command
"I think it is time, Inte, to announce it."

"Agreed, call a press conference. Get the reporters here soon."

15 minutes later
"We have brought you here today to announce Doujin's Declaration of War against Allanea. In the past, Allanea has sought not to lower tensions between Edolia and itself, but to heighten them. Hours ago, our alliance, UnAPS, declared a state of war against Allanea, and we will do the same. As Allanea has declared war against Edolia already, and at that point Doujin mobilizing it's Navy and dispatching them to Pauldustllah Outpost, we will be rendezvousing with the Edolian Navy, otherwise known as the "Scarlet Fleet". Currently, our ships are about 150 NM from the Allanean Oil Rig, and will be holding at that position until the Oil Rig has been.. removed. I'm sorry, but I cannot answer any questions at this time."

With that, Inte Anoit walked out the side and into the War Room where he discussed the future actions of Doujin in this conflict.

OOC: according to the map, the rig looks as though it may be in Edolian waters (once again depending on how much water Edolia claims) if you made an IC mistake in where the rig is, then you need to fix it IC.

OOC: 1.It', like, over 700 miles away from Edolian coast!
2.OOC, not IC error.

IC: "We suggest that both Allanea and it's neighbours declare international all waters father than 10 miles from their coasts.

Persuant to the above quote, Doujin Naval Warships will hover outside of Allanean Territorial Waters, 10 nautical miles from the coast of Allanea.

Getting rather tired of watching never-ending computer diagrams involving naval ships and patriotic music, the TV audience in Taiwan are taken out of their misery by a sudden 'emergency speech'.

Citizens of Taiwan, Republic of China

Toady, the UnAPS alliance officially declared war against the nation of Allanea, following a period of tension between the two groups. As a UnAPS member, this places the Republic of China in a state of war against Allanea.

Diplomatic means to bring an end to the oil rig crisis have failed. Now, it is unfortunate that force is used.

[code:1:e696a06300]The Republic of China (Taiwan) and Allanea are now formally at war[/code:1:e696a06300]

OOC: I'm out this weekend, but I'll make a statement on monday when I'm back. Goodluck guys.

Address to Parliament by Prime Minister Galadriël nos Cirdan:

The allied nation of Edolia has just been the object of an unfounded declaration of war, which is an insolent defiance of the law of nations. The Allanean Republic has waited till yesterday evening to give at this late stage the true name to a state of things which it had already created.

The Knootians, in this crisis have given to the world the example of a great nation which has only used its renewed and rejuvenated strength to mediate in the interest of progress and for the good of Sentience, by the exercise of will, patience, and labour. Since the first provocations of Allanea opened a crisis which threatened the whole of Haven, Knootoss has persisted in following and in recommending on all sides a policy of prudence, wisdom, and moderation. To her there can be imputed no act, no movement, no word, which has not been peaceful and conciliatory.

At the hour when the struggle is beginning, she will have the right of solemnly declaring that she has made, up to the last moment, supreme efforts to avert the war that may now be about to break out, the crushing responsibility for which the Allanean Republic will have to bear before history.

As the Prime Minister of the Dutch Democratic Republic I would like to express the unanimous feeling of solidarity of the country with our troops by land, sea and air; the admiration and confidence of every Knootian. We intend to honour any reasonable request by Edolia for troops for the defence of her country because the DDR stands besides her allies. Closely united in a common feeling, our nation will persist with the cool self-restraint of which she has given daily proof since the beginning of the crisis.

In this conflict, UnAPS has right on her side, the eternal power of which cannot with impunity be disregarded by nations any more than by individuals. Should Allanea choose to attack, then Edolia will be heroically defended by all our sons and daughters. Nothing will break our union before the enemy because today we are joined together as brothers in a common indignation against the aggressor. We are faithfully helped by all the UnAPS nations, our allies and supported by their loyal friendship.

All across Ilek-Vaad the citizens went about their daily routines. The Retaliatory Guard was already deployed and the Velite Guard had already doubled security. The Only change anywhere in the nation from previous days was the closing of the Tollan Massif.

Tollan,the Headquarters of Red Jaguar Command closed it's gates, all non-residents were summarily expelled as the massive medieval gates swung shut and were locked. The Massif itself, built into Mount Tlaloc, rumbles as 35 foot reinforced concrete lead lined doors shut, sealing the mountain and the all important Tollan Fire Control. Above the city, sonic booms sounded as the Air Guard launched all of it's Death's Heads sub-orbital stealth bombers, they are targeting Allanea's nuclear arsenal. Across the nation the SPEAR anti-missle batteries are brought online , their co-ordinates fixed to counter the launching of Allanean ICBMs and Cruise-Missles.

Atop the Great Double Pyramid in Tollan, the Tlatloni gathered and lit the sacred fire on the altar of Tetzcatlipoca, thick black choking smoke rose from the pyramid. In ancioent times the fires would have been fed with the body parts of the enemies of the Tolteca Emperors. It has been rumoured that they still are.

There is no public chaos, LNS carries the broadcast from Phyrric, but the stoic, unconcerned citizens of Ilek-Vaad paid little attention, after Allanea had already been 'relaxed' into the hands of the Retaliatory Guard, and the Retaliatory Guard had never failed.

The Island States wishes to restate that is has declared war on Allanea and it is repositioning troops and ships.

"I am overwhelmed by this act of support by our friends and allies in the UnAPS and wish to, on behalf of the people of Edolia, issue thanks to all of our allies who are ready and willing to fight on the side of Edolia against the Allanean aggressors. When Alexander Kazinsky (sp?), President of Allanea, declared war on Edolia, he did not know what he would be getting into. Now that he sees the might of the United Alliance of Progressive States, perhaps they shall back down from their quest to bring war against the peace-loving people of Edolia."
Erik von Blatterschplitt
Imperator of Edolia

IC:
President Anderson has been watching the situation carefully and is said to be concerned by this current conflict.

The President also expressed a wish to know if this will effect Phyrric troop deployments in the Aust campaign.

"The President of Allanea would like to thank the UNaPS for the enertainment. We particularly found the comment by Erik about the "peace loving Edolians" extremely hilarious.

1000 Allanean Dollars have been wired to Erik's personal bank account to thank him for the moments of comedy"

Alexander Kanzansky,
Allanean President-for-Life

Why is there a war going on? Is it over political veiws?(my simple brain got overloaded in the first post)

OOC: He's been provoking us for a while, and then declared war on us, but said he would not attack. We've been debating since then about whether or not we would.

We are glad that you are entertained; there is still more to come.

OOC:Any idea as to why?

Goobergunch City, Goobergunchia

Excerpted from the Legislative Journal of the High Council, April 9, 20??

The High Council convened at 12 noon, in special session, and was called to order by Chairman FOSTROW.

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: The Council will come to order. The Chair lays before the Council a message from the President.

The President hereby summons the High Council to a special session at 12:00 noon today to consider any legislation that he lays before them pertaining to the war between Allanea and Edolia and the Goobergunchian response to the same.

The Chair recognizes the President.

Lord President GOOBERGUNCH: My fellow Goobergunchians, Allanea has unilaterally declared war on our Edolian allies. This follows weeks of escalation of tensions between the two nations, with Allanea being the chief source of agression.

Goobergunchia has not been directly involved up to this point. However, we have given our UnAPS allies permission to operate out of Goobergunchia, such as the Copiosa Scotian Second Army. Given the recent declaration of war, we feel it is time for more drastic action to be taken.

Since the Apology and Restitution agreement with Allanea [ooc: September 2003], we have long held the most friendly relations in the UnAPS (and before it, the UNAOTO) with them. Indeed, it seemed merely a couple months ago [ooc: NS time] that Allanea was on the verge of becoming a close UnAPS ally. Instead, they chose the path of agression and war that we must now aid our allies in countering.

Therefore, in my capacity as a member of this body, I hereby move that Goobergunchia declare war on Allanea.

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: The question is now on the motion to declare war on Allanea submitted by Lord President GOOBERGUNCH. Who yields time?

<!---- snip ----!>

Lady KETHMAR: .... Therefore, Lord Chairman, I urge a yes vote on this motion.

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: Who seeks recognition? The Chair recognizes Lord MENFAIN.

Lord MENFAIN: Lord Chairman, I rise in opposition to hte motion. Although --

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: Order. The Chair lays before the Council a message.

UnAPS Department of War
Corcyra, Phyrric

The fellow Nations of UnAPS, news has reached me that by majority vote, and in response to the Declaration of War from Allanea on the Nation of Edolia, the Alliance of UnAPS has issued a Declaration of War on the Nation of Allanea.

This is a time that shall set a presidence and discovery that the UnAPS Alliance, by virtue and trust, is firmly against tyranny, aggression, and imperialism of nations that threaten and identify themselves as enemies of UnAPS.

The time has come, by treaty commitment and majority vote, that Article V Sections i, ii, and iii is immediately implemented. Twenty Nations of UnAPS have answered the call for defense of a fellow and trusted Nation, Edolia.

Let this article be understood that it presents a formal Declaration of War, from the Alliance of UnAPS to the Nation of Allanea. God save your nation.

Lord President GOOBERGUNCH: Parliamentary inquiry, Lord Chairman. Pursuant to the UnAPS Constitution, which Goobergunchia is a signatory to, does this mandate an immediate declaration of war?

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: The Chair would inform Councillors that although a declaration of war is not mandated, failing to grant one would severely imperil our UnAPS membership. Lord MENFAIN is recognized.

<!---- snip ----!>

Lord Chairman FOSTROW: Are there any Councillors that have not yet voted? If not, 67 Councillors have voted in the affirmative, 33 Councillors have voted in the negative, and the motion is adopted as an order of the High Council.

Allanea and our UnAPS allies, without objection, shall be immediately notified of the High Council's action.

IC:
President Anderson has been watching the situation carefully and is said to be concerned by this current conflict.

No it will not affect the deployments.
