Axis Nova to build nuclear missile silos off the coasts of all UN nations

Axis Nova

Axis Nova will be excercising it's rights under Section One, Part D of the "Law of the Sea" resolution recently passed. For those interested, we shall post an excerpt here.

d) Freedom to lay cables, pipelines and underwater installations, unless in a Maritime Preservation Zone

As these underwater silos fall under "Underwater installations", you have no choice in the matter except to allow our construction crews in or be declared in violation of a UN resolution. Have a nice day :D

RE: Underwater Nuclear Weapons Silos in international waters

We do not recognize an underwater nuclear weapons silo as falling under the exception for "underwater installations" in the recently passed U.N. resolution and unless and until we are specifically directed by the U.N. to cease, we will attack and destroy any such silo found in international waters anywhere in the world that we encounter them, not just in the waters surrounding Mauiwowee. We find these acts to be provocative, hostile and threatening in nature to the security and freedom of the planet and urge all nations to join us in this action. We also request that the U.N. clarify this matter ASAP.

ITD has declared all territorial waters belonging to our empire as Maritime Preservation Zones. Only ITD vessels and vessels with permission to be in the water may sail in these waters. ITD claims 90 miles out as our territorial waters.

We also do not plan on following the resolution as far as our colonies go. Our colonies are not UN nations, therefore they do not have to follow this rediculous resolution.

The cost of building the silos alone woud bankrupt your nation. So, I guess it doesn't -really- hurt anyone to have a bunch of empty concrete wells out in the middle of the ocean...

However, any silos built near Federated Concordat territorial waters will be immediately declared artificial habitat sites for the local sea life. Any attempt to arm such silos will be viewed as a provocatory action, as we are not UN members, and handled accordingly.

The only nation I'm really building tons of silos near is Mikitivity, since the Law of the Sea resolution was his idea :(

BTW, two can play at this game. Any UN member who reads this should follow suit.

That would require more nukes, costing more cash than you have.

at least 200,000 nukes

for the 100's of thousands of UN members.

at most you could deploy 1 per country.

and the retaliation blast would anialate you. I suggest you do not go ahead with this plan. Personally though i don't care what you do.

We're afraid that this is unacceptable. We operate many aquaculture, mining and refining facilities as well as undersea submarine pens all around our coastline, and we consider any facility placed within 20nm of our facilities in our rightful territory.

Futhermore, much of the ocean surrounding Kanabian territories is difficult to access without coming within 20nm of the actual coastline along the route to the construction area, and we reserve the right to expel your construction crews.

However, despite our objections we do adknowledge that according to the UN laws you may build these facilities if you can find a suitable location. Although, we would like to present you with a plan that took one of our janitors approximately 1 minute to devise by writing it on the back of a napkin:

http://img25.exs.cx/img25/9416/yourplanisowned.gif

According to the resolution, this is perfectly legal as well.

Edit- Just noticed Ingimar's post. Oops. Oh well.

its odd i never really noticed the various depressions other pople mention, maybe its because my economy was up and down a tthe time already... mind you it has been stable on frightening for about a year now...

IC:
Since Crookfur has an extreme respect for the enviroment anything biult inside our EEZ of 140km or our territorial water of 32km woudl have to comply with our strict enviromental controls (ie they are one big MPA, of coruse Crookfur kind of considers the entire northatlantic to be a MPA)

IC: The Democratic Imperium of Praetonia wishes to announce the latest Imperial Construction Plan:

Mikitivity Underwater Construction Plan ~ Imperial Department of Irony

Preface

The Democratic Imperium first of all wishes to laugh at Mikitivity and all members of the UN who voted in favour of this ludicrous regulation.

Construction Plan

I A large dam is to be built around Mikitivity inside his waters. This dam will not protrude above sea level.

II Five huge pumps are to be placed at intervals along the dam.

III All water will be pumped out through the dam, leaving former Mikitivitian Waters as an inhospitible wasteland composed primarily of a muddy version of quick-sand.

IV The Imperial Government will issue an official statement of "Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: *points and laughs*"

Conlusion and Problems

The project is likely to cost upwards of $20bn. As such foreign assistance is needed. We are looking into the possibility of a UN grant for the project. This project will hopefully stand as a testament to the sheer pointless irony of man.

Axis Nova, if Nuclear Regulations passes, your silos will become illegal, since they will no longer count as underwater installations. You can build a silo, they can build a concrete cover. The original intention was for underwater cables, pipelines, sonar, not something out of the Doctor Who story 'Warriors of the Deep'.

Why bother with an underwater silo anyways, just to show you can?

Don't slander or attack Mikitivity, it wasn't his idea. It was mine. If you're going to do something silly, like build a 2000km long dam around Serconea, you'll get attacked by ignore cannons before you can say 'Start pumping'.

I would note that Praetonia is doing the dam thing, not me. I'm mostly bugging Mikitivity since he appeared to be the major driving source behind the resolution. However, since you so kindly volunteered, I'll build the stuff slated for his waters in yours instead. And intent nothing, the proposal as worded allows me to do this :p

24-09-2004, 13:35
The Republic claims also 200 miles off the coast of Kaguya island as an exclusive economic zone and territorial waters.Actually, no, you don't. Since you are in the UN, and since you have not choice but to fully and completely obey all UN resolutions, your territorial waters extend to 20 kilometers, not 200 miles.

The UN is your chance to mold the rest of the world to your vision, by voting for resolutions you like and scuttling the rest. However, it's a double-edged sword, because your nation will also be affected by any resolutions that pass. (You can't just obey the resolutions you like and ignore the rest, like real nations do.)

1. That all areas of sea more than 20 kilometres from an internationally recognised settled landmass or scientific research station are described as international waters. The UN may permit archipelagos to have the 20 kilometre limit start from the outside islands and allow waters inside the archipelago to be claimed by the nation who owns it.
2. That all 'international waters' shall be outside the sovereignty of any member nation and that no nation can claim to have sovereignty over them.

In short, you're screwed.

Though this may be a technicality in the laws, you are using it for ends of world destruction. Although Neo Cannen is a desert land locked nation, we implore you to discontinue construction of these weapons and we are currently lobbying the UN to stop you. Should you continue whilst the new resolution is in action, you cannot expect there to be no retaliation.

General Caesar I am calling an emergency meeting of Armed Forces
division heads immediately.

Right Away Queen Casiopia

( Ten minutes later )

Ladies & Gentlemen I have called this emergency meeting to deal
with the country called Axis Nova. As you know he is attempting to build
Nuclear Misslie Silo's off of every UN members coastline. Until moments ago
we was a member of the UN, as of this moment we are no longer a member.
We will not support an Organization that makes irresponsible resolutions
that open their member nations to the terroristic threat of an unstable leader
of one piss ant country. Therefore we are naming Axis Nova a terrorist
nation and Declaring War on them. I am also immediately raising our our
military to DefCon One. Further I am authorizing the use of DEADLY Force
against Axis Nova. Finally, I have contacted Kormanthor to ask King Matthew
for his countries assistance in this emergency and have his guaruntee of
financial & military assistance to us. Ladies & Gentleman you are dismissed.

***************************************************

* General Miller to Fort Incursion Command, a state of war now exists between VirginIncursion & Axis Nova. General Caesar & Admiral Mendenhall
are arranging transport of ground units to Axis Nova. You are ordered to
activate all ground units for immediate military response against Axis Nova.
General Miller Out *

( Immediately after General Millers message all on duty personnel
start boarding their assigned naval unit by way of mater/energy transporters.
While reserved units are activated for later deployment. )

* This Admiral Mendenhall to all ocean going battle groups a state
of war now exists between VirginIncursion & Axis Nova. Because of this
all fleets except the 3rd,7th & 12th will immediately procede to Axis Nova
Waters with authorization to use deadly force against the Axis Nova Navy
, Merchant Marine, Coast Guard, or any other allied force of Axis Nova.
The 3rd , 7th & 12th along with the Coast Guard will take up the
Defense of VI's coastline. Mendenhall Out

( Immediately after this communication twelve entire battle
groups go to flank speed on course for Axis Nova, thanks to Kormanthor's
Ekhodas StarBase. )

* This is General Caesar to launch command a state
of war now exists between VirginIncursion & Axis Nova. Recall the on duty starfighters, refuel them, & arm them with anti-matter/matter missiles & bombs. As soon as they are ready launch Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, & Foxtrot Squadrons. They are to procede to the Capital City of Axis Nova to begin bombing sorties. Contact Ekhodas StarBase for coordinates. Caesar Out *

( Minutes after Caesars message, a huge building rises out of the depths
somewhere within VirginIncursion Waters, twelve watertight hangar bay doors
open to the fresh sea air. Then magnetic catapults start launching the five
thousand starfighter squadron that will make up the first wave attack on
Axis Nova. Soon the five thousand craft squadron of VF-7's, 8's, 9's and 11's are streaking towards Axis Nova )

Chairman Ilsuo Santite just because an action is legal under UN Law that
doesn't make it right.
Axis Nova is trying to use the UN's resolution in a way that it wasn't meant to be used. This effectively proves Axis Nova's lack of good morals, not to mention good international manners.
Do not talk to us about placing severe economic and political sanctions against this country & our allies, we have no trade relations with you. Further we do not need trade from other nations to be able to support ourselves.
We find the arrogance displayed by you & your country criminal in the
extreme. You seem hell bent on supporting a gang of international terrorist
trying to misuse UN Law for their own gain.
Beyond that we aren't members of the United Nations, so their
resolutions are meaningless whether in our waters or international waters.We
are members of an intergalactic organization similiar to the UN. This means
that if you retal against us for standing up to Axis Nova, then you could face
some pretty grim reprocussions yourself.
However, as we have always been a peace loving country we will ask you
nicely to not get involved in matters that are no concern of yours.

Who said I was maintaining, manning, and equipping them?

I just said I was building them. And a concrete tube underwater is hardly terribly expensive, especially for me.

BTW, if I was serious about this, I already came up with a design for a one-shot disposeable nuclear cruise missile launcher that I could deploy just by tossing off the back of a boat or dropped into the water from a plane.

But since this is a political maneuver to draw attention to a particular UN resolution I want repealed, I just need to say I'm building the silos, and watch people flock to the thread. The more hear about the resolution, the better. I don't even need to actually build that many-- long before I could ever finish even 10% of the project, people would repeal the resolution, thus letting me can the rest and save money.

Though I must admit that the amusement I'm getting from the two LOL STAR WARS LOL nations threatening me here is a nice bonus.

We deplore this rash act of aggression. If UN member states don't approve of Axis Nova's entirely legal actions, they should seek a political resolution through proper channels before taking military action.

While the recent acts of Axis Nova are contrary to the spirit of the law, they do not violate it. The best way to deal with this issue is to repeal the badly written and poorly concieved Law of the Seas act. We will fully support this repeal once it is proposed.

edit: It also seems that the based on the Law of the Seas act, Maritime Preservation Zones are to be designated by a UN Commission, not individual member nations.

At this time, we have before the UN additional paperwork showing our plan of expansion to 1200nm, and application as "Maritime Preservation Zone" all waters within that sphere due to conditions.

and


3. That all nations shall have in or above international waters, unless in a Maritime Preservation Zone:
a) Freedom to fish in designated fishing areas, subject to UN quotas.
b) Freedom to fly
c) Freedom of navigation
d) Freedom to lay cables, pipelines and underwater installations


Each and every platform has been bureaucratically accepted as a scientific research station, with many more to come AND all Antarctican waters are defined as Maritime Preservation Zones, owing to the fragility of the environment in which they are.

Hence, legit via flood of platforms and flood of paperwork to the UN.

If you can't live with the bureacracy, choke it from inside.

A joint announcement was made today by the Parliament, Prime Minister and King:

"The construction of missile silos in the waters around Callisdrun will not be allowed. If they are built, one or more of the following consequences may occur... We may simply appropriate the missile silos for our own use... we may order their removal... we may simply destroy them ourselves... or we may use legal maneouvering to tax them to high heaven. If necessary, we will declare all underwater sites that silos could be built on to be 'maritime preservation zones.' Or we may simply respond by testing our first nuclear weapons twenty kilometers from your coastline."

This was seen as a fairly typical statement from the government, as they seem to like to be unpredictable in foreign affairs.

I believe that the construction of nuclear missile silos off the coasts of UN nations violates the many UN resolutions banning weapons of mass destruction and preventing their proliferation. If you (Axis Nova) are not in the UN, I don't have to deal with you via the UN and can therefore, quite easily and without much trouble diplomatically, come in and blow them up. Its especially easy since the waters off my coast are seething with attack submarines.

Kormanthor to build anti-matter/matter missile silos off the coasts of Axis Nova

*********************************************************
Kormanthor will be excercising it's rights under Section One, Part D of the "Law of the Sea" resolution recently passed. For those interested, we shall post an excerpt here.

d) Freedom to lay cables, pipelines and underwater installations, unless in a Maritime Preservation Zone

As these underwater silos fall under "Underwater installations", you have no choice in the matter except to allow our construction crews in or be declared in violation of a UN resolution. ( Original Author is Axis Nova ) :)

VirginIncursion to build 'undesireable' industrial and nuclear byproducts
storage facilites off the coasts of Axis Nova.

Each storage facility is in the territorial waters of a UN nation, thanks to Law of the Sea.

And on top of that, we're selling space in each site for any nation that wishes to deposit their 'undesireable' industrial and nuclear byproducts.

Each facility will consist of an array of hexagon-shaped concrete storage cells, each capable of holding 100 tons of waste. The parts will be airlifted in and dropped into the water, then assembled by our workers. Containment breach prevention measures will be non-existant so that we may cut costs-- we'll just hope no one drops a depth charge or unseals the caps.

While this may at first glance appear to violate "Oceanic Waste Dumping", we believe this applies to just dumping the waste overboard in barrels and not putting it in a secure storage facility such as we are constructing. As "Oceanic Waste Dumping" does not specify, we shall insist on the above definition as the proper one if pressed. ( Original Author Axis Nova )

Im in the UN..but my country is landlocked...the only possible way to build way to build underwater silos is to build them in the Nephres River and the Cathin Lake (about 40km in radius) as such these features are within our borders it is impossible.

So we will back Axis Nova...((OOC:just because im to tired and not really paying attention to what is happening. Well night everyone, ill see ya sometime soon)), also good luck with them silos.

I am in fact in the UN, and as of yet there's no resolution that bans nukes. Not even the enviro-whacks could get one of THOSE passed.

Landlocked nation, no coasts. The only port city we have is jointly administered by AN and Sileetris. And btw, your matter/antimatter tech is ignored :)

The Impulse
26-09-2004, 21:30
The nation of the Impulse would like to point out, as they did in reference to the underwater containment facilities, that the Law of the Sea only applies to international waters, as can be clearly seen in it's wording. Thus, not only Axis Nova's plans, but also the plans of other nations who are trying to "fight back" by constructing similar structures in Axis Nova's territorial waters, are all void.

In the interest of making this clear, I have quoted the relevant Law of the Sea passages and added emphasis to make it even more clear:
3. That all nations shall have in or above international waters, unless in a Maritime Preservation Zone:
d) Freedom to lay cables, pipelines and underwater installations, unless in a Maritime Preservation Zone

Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.

>Axis Nova

From the First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy of Stevid...

On behalf of the Government of Stevid, this country hereby objects to the underwater base proposed to be built by Axis Nova. The Base is suposed to track Stevid Naval vessels within it's given radar and sonar range.
The Stevid Navy is a huge and proud navy. This incrusion into the general safty of the ship under my command is greatly commprimised.
I can not stress enough the great deel of pressure that will be mounted on the Navy if the consruction of this base goes ahead.
If other nations (whether they are in the UN or not) build bases in another nation's waters to "spy" on their ships could results in inquries and possible conflict.

Both Stevid and Axis Nova are proud nations if a good diplomatic history. I for one am not going to be the one who is going to the reckless option of attacking a fellow nation.

So I ask you, Axis Nova, not to build an underwater base in our waters. In the past I did state that we could reach a commprimise around the silo's by allowing at least two SSBN submarines into Stevid waters.

I still urge you to take this option instead of silo's or a spy ops base.

If you still continue to build a base in our waters, it will be destroyed. I am trying to grant you as much as I possibly can without violating the UN resolution.

I'm sure we can reach I comprimise.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully

Admiral Sir Alan West
First Sea Lord and Representative of the Royal Stevid Navy

Just how many nukes are we talking about here? Looking at the contents of this thread, including the anti-matter/matter warheads, in the event of a full blown thermonuclear war how long would it take before the entire planet became inhospitable to all life due to the climate changing effects and radiation caused by the weapons? Five minutes?
