HP announces pacifistic policy

Message to leaders around the world...

People of all countries, this message is sent to you because Holy Panooly is uncomfortable with its recent military policies. While we have seen sights of far-away continents in our quests to gain more land our citizens never felt happy with the imperialistic and agressive stance of the Holy Panooly administration.

War has always been amongst us. Decennia ago when Credonia and ex-Austar-Union were busy with ridding the world of terror. The rise of a new age of imperialism and the cruelties of the Holy Panooly civil wars. The two invasions of British Communists. There's blood on our hands and we don't feel confortable with that. Although we defended our homeland with words such as Honour, Pride and Loyalty our people wished to have seen victory without gunshots or bombs dropping.

At this time 15% of speaking of our budget is being thrown away into the litterbin also known as defence. Holy Panooly is going to cut back on spendations and giving it back to the people who need it most. From this day we will spend 50% less on defence which means only 7.5% will be spent on that.

What troubles me is that people keep seeking reasons to attack each other for reasons normal people would laugh about. That is something unacceptable for a "civilized" world we live in.

OOC: After the war with Camewot it became apparant to me that war isn't by bag. I can talk my way out of things easily enough to keep me out of the line of fire and war... There are so many of them in NS already I believe the word war lost its meaning. In fact, it has become cliche. When something becomes cliche, it has lost the grandeur of its haydays when war was something people were forced to do as a last resort. The war with Camewot is something I don't recognize (neither does he, so we're even) anymore since it was such a complete failure. We are both equally as guilty. I should been more realistic with losses and Camewot should have accepted the invasion.

The Confederacy of Mattikistan applauds, commends, approves of, and any other synonym, the government of Holy panooly for their brilliant act of realisation. With a large nation such as Holy panooly taking a similar stance to our own, more peaceful relations the world over seem just that little bit closer.

@ Draganovia: Yeah right... Try to read next time. Basicly I'm going to spend less time with weapons and more with diplomacy. I'm going to invest less in new purchases. Technology and research will receive the same funding though.

@ Mattikistan: We thank you for these kind words of approval.

Sarzonia notes this new stance with skepticism but we are open to the prospect of Holy Panooly being less warlike.

We applaud HP's move to pacifism. We, although we have a a large military, are pacifists (defencive though). A commitee had been set up to scrutinise your diplomatic position. Now, I can, happily, say I have shut down this commitee.

OOC: Hmm. Pacifistic sounds like your going to imflict pacifism on to people :D

We have never seen eye-to-eye on anything, but we applaud this policy, and believe it could pave the way for a mutual existence agreement between our two nations.

Peace suits all of us better then war, but do not let your guard down for your enemies lay in wait, ready to prey on your weakness

Our military will be focused on defence and peace-keeping missions, not full scale war.

We would be happy to defend HP, should there ever be any need for it.

The Government of Falastur applauds this move for peace, and especially at such a crucial time. We are very glad that neither of us were forced to inflict casualties on each other, and let us both hope the next time our military meet, it will be in peace and with only good intentions.

eh no I didn't notice you posted. I don't need any defence of other people outside the RWC, I can take care of most attacks nicely.
