Offical Announcement

It sometimes happens that nations guided by good are blinded by their naivety and do extremely stupid things.

One of these nations is Camewot. In their rush to correct "injustice" they attacked Ponte Vedra - a member of the Accord. If their intelligence officers would have done a little research, they would have found out that the Accord's motto runs "Ne conjuge nobiscum" - "Don't Mess with us." Camewot messed with an Accord nation.

That is a mistake a nation can make only once.

As Minister of War, I personally authorise the RDF to be used in this conflict in defense of our friends in Ponte Vedra, and personally allow the Allaneans to use the RDF in the comming conflict.

Firstly I feel I should point out that Ponte Vedra, a member of your Accord has declared war on Camewot, not the other way around. This is an important fact because it establishes the fact that they declared war first.

However that said Camewot declared war on Ponte Vedra's ally so we do not blame them and we will not be getting involved in the conflict. We expect that your nations will take note of Iuthian assets in Camewot: 800 soldiers are currently working as peacekeepers in the city of New Camewot. We also have two boats docked in Camewots only deepwater port.

Should these assets be attacked it will be seen as a personally attack against Iuthia.

Otherwise we are not getting involved and we remain nuetral in this affair. We would prefer that you dealt with the Camewot attack force which started the whole mess and leave it at that but I can see how you guys are probably going to want to get something out of this... my suggestion is that you show the power of your accord without showing yourselves to be imperialists... do you damage and be done with it.

thanks,

the Jordaxian Emperor in exile asks that you do not attack the RIA base (which I just assumed control of) inside Camewot. We do not seek to get involved in a conflict which does not concern us.

"The Accord is not acting in an imperialist manner; if we simply beat back an invasion force it will not be enough. The regime that launched the attack would still be in place and could strike again. We are rememdying this by attacking and then setting up a less agressive regime in its place. We will not strike Iuthian, or Jordaxian, or any foriegn targets unless they fire upon us or act in an agressive manner."

-General Robert Francis

My point wasn't that you would claim Camewot as your own, my point was that it's a bad idea to do something which would look pretty much the same... personally we're keeping the hell out of this mess and we don't care what you do providing you don't harm Iuthia soldiers who will be intructed of the situation... we may also request observers to assure that our troops are known to be doing their job and keeping to the task at hand.

We would just prefer that any reasponce is a measured one. Other then that it's all down to damage control, don't harm Iuthia assets and we'll let you do what you like with the nation.

"His Holy Majesty's Government simply requests that the extraterritoriality of our embassy in Camewot be respected, and that every practical effort be made not to harm embassy staff.

If this is done we shall, as always, remain neutral."

OOC: Just curious, but it's kind of my job as UnAPS intel minister. What are the circumstances of this whole affair?

The dracun a member of the accord will supply the nessecary troops for this defense. We are automatcily deploying the following forces

units
2,000 A.R.C. troopers
10,000 dracun infantry
20 dracun slayers(marines)

200 imperial tanks

6 lightning carriers

25 monsoon bombers
50 d-71s
50 inferno helos

OOC: Basically Camewot has raised tension recently by making statements such as preparing part of his army for use against "Fascist" nation, this was quickly changed when large nations pointed out that they could be classified as "Fascist" and if they were attacked they would paste them into the ground... so Camewot them remarked that he would only oppose those who commit crimes such as Genocide.

The initial threat caused alot of trouble with "Fascist" nations and for some time after the remarks Camewot made "Fascist" nations were preparing to retaliate, possibly before anything was actually done. Naturally Iuthia tried to calm the situation down and was getting reasonable responces before Camewot actually went and sent forces towards a nation which they saw as commiting slavery and other abuses...

This in turn caused many "Fascist" nations to automatically side with their ally and declare war against Camewot, the most notable of which is Ponte Vedre, a large resurected nation which is part of Allanea's Alliance, this nation called for assistance and now a great many nations are posting how many troops they are going to send to topple Camewots government and teach him a lesson.


Iuthia is allied with Camewot via the Concordia alliance but due to the agreement we're under it states that Iuthia only has to back it's ally if they were not identified as the aggressor, which Camewot is in this case allowing Iuthia to chose it's course of action, including doing nothing. Due to our warning stating that this would happen Iuthia is not going to back Camewot and is making it clear that any Iuthian injured in Camewot would be seen as an attack against Iuthia itself.

Thats about the jist of it.

OOC: So... Allanea is fighting for a slave nation just because they are allies.

Shame, Allanea! You let your people own guns, but you are in favor of slavery?

I don't ever recall any slavery, I could be mistaken, but I never saw any slavery...not that I ever looked.

OOC: To be fair on Allanea they are allied to one of the nations which is supporting the nation which uses forced labor... meaning that the Accord is only supporting forced labor on an extrenious link...

However if you want to poke holes at him over issues like that just think towards Iron Blood, Allanea's ally who has openly been genocidal and used slavery in it's time...
