(OOC: The guy who owns Delaware (New Jersey Counties) on Earth II is never on, so I am seizing it for myself.)

DATELINE: BALTIMORE

In a mostly-bloodless operation, The 4th and 2nd Maryland Armies invaded Delaware earlier today. Paratroopers from the 6th Para landed in Dover and seized key government buildings. Resistance was scattered and light, casualties estimate 500 dead, 3,000 wounded. At 3:45 P.M., our flag was raised above the capitol building- Delaware is now our 2nd province in North America.

We are almost shocked by this oh so slight outrage. But because we're all the way over in Massachusets we would like to offer our support to our possible new ally. I think that made sense.

It's alright- we're glad to reach out to our friends in Massachusetts.

Good this is a step forward in our attempt to not get into war.

Would you like the use of Boston Harbor? It should provide an extra strategic edge.

Ninurta condemns this act, finding that imperialism does not serve the purpose of government.

How so? Their government was ineffective. We supplanted it with a better one.

The Fuhrerprinzip of Fascist Confederacy would like to congratulate you on your newly claimed province.

OOC: Short, yet affective.

We condemn the greedy expansionism of Sevaris and it's massacre of over 5,000 people in this sickening tail of imperialism. 5 Divisions of the Rapid Reaction Force have been mobilized and are preparing for immediate deployment.

You have 48 hours to evacuate Delaware and allow the commencement of free elections in that state.

Holy Paradise extends its congratulations to you, Sevaris.

Erm- We have no figure on civilian casualties yet- those dead were our men. I suggest you back down- otherwise, we will bury you.

How so? Their government was ineffective. We supplanted it with a better one.

The purpose of government is not to defend other people. It is to defend its own people. In addition, we think that judgements about which forms of government are good and bad are impossible to conduct from an unbiased viewpoint, especially from such a close perspective, if there's any interest at all in occupying that land - as you seem to have done. This isn't a judgement on how biased your country is, we simple feel that your judgement of a good and bad government may be incorrect. Had we beeen in that position, we would have recognized that and not acted in an imperialist matter. The Ninurtan government has an idea of some of the struggles that Sevaris has been involved in in the past, and thinks that an action claiming more territory for Sevaris could spark those tensions once again - such an act would fail to protect its own citizens by provoking other countries

We are doing what we feel is best for the people of Delaware: I assure you, they will have full rights in Sevaris, including the right to vote in national elections.

Now. Now. Slainte to be sure and all but as an Irish/Jewish American nation we ask that Hrstrovokia not take such actions towards our new ally. Those who lead this government are ineffective and their people are ignored. If anyhting I think the people will benefit from Sevarisan rule.

You will do no such thing. We stand by our Sevarian allies.

Our mistake. If your forces lost 5,000 against "scattered and light resistance", then god help you against the might of the HAF. If it is War you want, then prepare to be decimated.

The Liberation of Delaware has begun.

Holy Paradise will not let others parade on Sevaris's new territories' soverignty. Therefore, if Sevaris permits, Holy Paradise would like to send about 25,000 troops in force to guard the land from Hrstrovokia. We will also send:

1 Tank Brigade:

Brigade 1(100 Tanks):

1st Tank Platoon(20 M1 Abrams)
2nd Tank Platoon(25 Bradley Tanks)
3rd Tank Platoon(35 Holy Paradise Elite Tanks)
4th Tank Platoon(40 Holy Paradise Elite Tanks)

1 small Naval fleet(14 naval ships):
3 battleships
2 Nimitz class aircraft carriers(each carrying 20 F-15Es and 20 F-18As)
6 Alabama Class Destroyers
3 Nautilus class submarines.

You will do no such thing. We stand by our Sevarian allies.

We thank the ITD government for their support. We act for the people of Delaware.

We will bury you. I will not let you destroy my nation.

-Alec Mannerheim

You have absolutely no right to annex Delaware. Your troops prescence will not exstinguish the indeafisable right of the people of Delaware to govern their own affairs and choose their own destiny. Regardless of how many allies you can muster, we will not falter in the face of tyranny.

Evacuate within 48 hours or face total war. This is not a threat.

I have many friends who will come to my aid. I suggest you back down. It's not worth fighting over.

We would welcome any aid you could provide.

It is not our objective to destroy your state. We only seek to restore the sovreignty of Delaware. You have no right to be there. Our entire forces can be mobilized within 20 hours, and an Expeditionary Force can be on route to North America before the deadline expires.

Evacuate within 48 hours.

In Maryland and Delaware, I have 500,000 men total- divided into three Armies, two of which are local Maryland armies. I have two tactical fighter wings (144 planes) based in the state, as well as the 6th Fleet, based at Baltimore.

Well, since we see that this is more of an internation opinion ralley, I would like to sling mine out on the international table. Specifically about Ninurta. I believe, you, as a realtively small nation, no I don't have anything against small nations, I believed this about my Vatterland until it became larger, that you do not understand the strenuous political and domestic pressure applied to Sevaris' leader. He has to worry about a much larger number of citizens to worry about than you. He wasn't trying to be imperialistic, merely trying to keep his citizens comfortable. -- Pastor Charles Rikardson

Delaware will function as a fully sovereign province of Sevaris, with the full rights of one.

We are small yet we can muster the force of an entire region behind us. We can fight and die and we will if such actions are taken by those we first regarded as possible allies. Aye if Hrstrovokia were to continue. We would fight and we would prevail.


OOC: I'm a puppet of a much older nation.

We would welcome any aid you could provide.
Actually I'm going to send more aid: 750,000 troops(not all at once),that tank brigade I mentioned times 10, and 10 more of that naval fleet I mentioned, including the fighter/bombers in the aircraft carriers.

We are doing what we feel is best for the people of Delaware: I assure you, they will have full rights in Sevaris, including the right to vote in national elections.

Frankly, it doesn't matter. It isn't your job to care for the people of Delaware. As Ninurta has discerned based on reported mobilizations around the world, you are already triggering a period of danger for some of your people. In addition, by taking over Delaware you harmed your own people - your soldiers were killed in an action that had no benefit toward the safety of your people - as such, it violated the basic moral principle of government.

[OOC: Since you ask, I dont care actually. I hear Delaware is the pits. But what I really object to is a less than 5 sentence explanation based on weak Imperialism. If you had done it right, I wouldnt have objected at all. I would have admired, respected and feared it.

You cant just assault another land like that. There are other more peaceful methods anyway. You could have held a plebiscite or done an really interesting roleplay. This type of thing kills me. And by the way, I created this nation a year ago. How many puppets could I have possibly created by then? Not that I'd steep so low as to use them.]

Look, we did what we did, and it'll be for the best. Soldiers die in war, yes. We can minimize casualties, but we cannot prevent soldiers from dying.

Statement from the Office of the Executor

"Scattered and light resistance? Please.

If a first-world army, even one that is rather weak and lacking, loses over five hundred regulars in an attack on such a tiny state, clearly the inhabitants resent your unjustified imperialism.

We offer you a choice; either withdraw from the area and restore sovereignty to the natives of Delaware, or prepare to face the Tyrandisan military on the field of war.

The 1st Army Expeditionary Force has been alerted for deployment to Delaware. All bases in Australia and New Zealand have been activated at DEFCON 2."

[OOC:Ok, look, start again. Do a decent thread. Find some actual resistance. Most other nations wouldnt recognise this invasion and annexation, since nobody actually contested it. If the guy who "owns" Delaware isnt replying, find someone else. If you must, I'll create a puppet Delaware state and stage some resistance.

Because this isnt roleplaying. Roleplaying is using your imagination. Everybody has one. Do it or I shall unleash my nuclear sword and obilterate Sevaris, Delware...hell the whole of eastern American seaboard :)]

The Empire extends its congratulations to Sevaris in his endeavor to conquer Delaware. Caesar Maurais looks forward to working with his growing neighbor. In response to growing threats to Sevaris, The Empire of North Appalacia offers Sevaris the use of military bases within the Povince of Pennsylvania and also pledges the 14th Regiment of the 42nd Imperial Armored Division in the defense of Delaware.

-8th Tank Brigade (100 Tanks)
-17th Cavalry Scout Brigade (30 HUMVEEs with .50 cal, 20 Apache gunships, 20 HUMVEEs with anti-armor missles, 50 Infantry soldiers)

"Mississippi does not like what is going on in Deleware... Not at all. We cannot, and we will not allow terrorists and rogue nations to hold this nation hostage or hold our allies hostage. From this minute forward, we will not stop until Deleware has been liberated from the yoke and oppression of the zionist puppets. We will not rest until Deleware can breathe free from Jewish and Masonic tyranny."

Ooc- Note, the air force is being based out of Ohio, which is under Mississippian control.

My position remains the same. Delaware will be given full representation in Sevaris's government, and we will not infringe on their rights. They will merely be taken care of better by us.

Composed of:
15,000x Airborne Infantry

250x TC-255 Stormwind transport

An undislosed number of naval and aerial assets have been selected for this mission, all prepared for the upcoming war of liberation.

Analysis by TNIA indicate a 80% likelihood of victory, based on the previous Tyrandisan liberation of Russia from Colodian imperialism.

As Colodia had a much stronger and numerous army, and the strength of Tyrandisan military forces is near double that of the previous Task Force GUARDIAN, many are expecting a total rout of Sevarian forces.

Ooc-

Learn friggin reading.... I said starting to mobilize... I didn't say, "here they are, here we go! We're in Deleware!" I said, "mobilized" It takes time to do this, which is why I am currenly doing what we call "Waiting" a reasonable RL period to represent a while in the NS land...

I know what logistics are, my divisions all have integral support units. We also heavily use private contractors for logistics (Much in the same way 1/5 of the US soldiers in Iraq are private contractors)

[OOC: Sevaris you big sell-out. I thought you were willing to cease to exist for Delaware, it's that little trade nothing but appeasement? Your weak. I want a Naval base now. Or else I wipe out some cities.]

We are willing to cease our future military operations against your state, providing you meet certain requirements. We will look the other way, should you say, allow us a Naval base and exclusive market rights in the areas of agriculture and steel, aswell as computer software. Failing that, you can expect death from above via ADN-5s - 500 KT Nuclear Missile, designed to beat SAM sites with astonishing velocity and deceptive electronic decoys.

The choice is yours.

His just giving some people a payback! Just help helping to enrich the class he comes from! But dont mind me, I'm crazy ;) I'm just really alienated, paranoid and bitter.]

We, The Empire of North Appalachia, cannot stand by while the threat of nuclear war looms to threaten our livlihood. The fallout from a nuclear strike on Delaware or Maryland would inevitably damage our assets in the Province of Pennsylvania. To this end, any nuclear attack upon either Maryland or Delaware will be met with a swift and all-out reciprocal action by the Imperial Strategic Nuclear Command. Caesar Michel-Paul Maurais I has declared a state of emergency, and all Imperial Armed Forces have been placed on the highest alert. The Imperial Air Force will destroy any foreign aircraft that breach our airspace or attempt to deliver any kind of nuclear weapon to the theater in question. Perhaps at this juncture it would be wise to consider a peaceful resolution to this conflict before it escalates further.

We support a peaceful solution.

Linfield Hannon

Look, we did what we did, and it'll be for the best. Soldiers die in war, yes. We can minimize casualties, but we cannot prevent soldiers from dying.

While Ninurta strongly condemns the actions of Sevaris, it had no opportunity to stop it or to help to do so. As forces begin to converge on Sevaris, we feel that the situation in Delaware is now an internal matter. In this case we are willing to risk the lives of our soldiers to prevent such a blatant violation of national sovereignty. While our military is admittedly small - even compared to most nations of our own meager size - they suffer training of a rigor not often found among the nations of the world, especially in urban combat. If your Kaiser approves, we'd be willing to send a few hundred soldiers into the area - although it would take some time to move them into the area.

We want a peaceful solution to this. To Hrstrovokia, we will allow you to construct a naval base. Ninurta, your troops may come to help in our defense- their help would be most appreciated.

Gentlemen, We can end this without bloodshed. What more do you want from me? Delaware will be a self-governing province of Sevaris, with all the rights thereof. They will be able to elect their own government and choose their own laws- the same rights as any other of our provinces.

The Legislature extends thanks to Sevaris for allowing our help. General Adamant is at this moment mobilizing aircraft to transport six hundred soldiers into Sevaris. When they reach Sevarisan airspace the aircraft will ask the government of Sevaris for further instructions regarding their entry and landing.

Hrstrovokia accepts Sevaris's offer to construct a naval base. The site will be considered Hrstrovokia territory, and become the ENATD [External North America Territory of Delaware] under the authority of GSA [Global Strategic Assets] Kommand.

Sevaris is now considered a friendly state, and will be assigned recognition of existence, diplomatic links will be established and trade conducted.

Erm- I should like to debate that. Yes, the land will belong to your government, but it will still be on Sevarisian soil- and subject to our laws. A minor legal technicality, if you will.

Sevaris, what would you like to open our bid for Maryland for?"

[OOC: Sevaris you big sell-out. I thought you were willing to cease to exist for Delaware, it's that little trade nothing but appeasement? Your weak. I want a Naval base now. Or else I wipe out some cities.]

We are willing to cease our future military operations against your state, providing you meet certain requirements. We will look the other way, should you say, allow us a Naval base and exclusive market rights in the areas of agriculture and steel, aswell as computer software. Failing that, you can expect death from above via ADN-5s - 500 KT Nuclear Missile, designed to beat SAM sites with astonishing velocity and deceptive electronic decoys.

The choice is yours.

I think you may now legitimately ignore him and rest assured that you're blocking out a "self-righteous" noob, who grew large in size but never in RP ability or writing ability.

Nobody that is a good RPer, shouts, "Gimme bases. I nukzes you without you give me my bases!!!!111" that was basically how his words seemed to come across, "Death from above"? Sevaris, you may be smaller than he, but you have many missiles of your own... His sizes doesn't make him immune from a retaliation strike that you'd surely launch... What is he smoking?

And all ICBMs are basically unable to be stopped by modern SAMs, 500 KT is rather weak overall. This man is throwing the fact that he is large around to try to scare people. Consider this, he is over a year old, and has done what appear to be basically only two or three threads that can count as an RP.

All I am telling you, is that I wouldn't deal with somebody who tosses the threat of nuclear war around, as often as he changes his socks. I would ignore him, and you have every right too as well.

This isn't meant to be an offense to any, this is just how I feel and my advice to Sevaris.

Communist Louisiana is a good ally of Colodia. They are our neighbors of North America, and good neighbors in South America.

I'm not sure if I stated this, but Colodia has control over the following areas in Contiental United States: West Virginia, Virginia, and Washington D.C.

D.C., being the capitol and 2/3 surrounded by Sevaris, is packed with military personnal to ensure the safety of the capitol 24/7.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM EMPIRE OF LAYARTEB DEPARTMENT OF STATE

START...

The presence of Sevaris in Delaware presents and clear and present danger to the sovreignty and security of the Empire of Layarteb. The border is hereby closed and any aggressive acts against the border will be regarded with the utmost sensitivity. The Empire of Layarteb does not see Colodia or Devisive Action as a danger but rather a friendly country and wishes to form a loose alliance with them concerning this matter. As we are on the northern border of Sevaris we have a signficant amount of land to protect and defend against.

The Empire of Layarteb has placed all branches of the Imperial Layartebian Military on REDCON 3. Our border defenses along the Sevarian border have been placed on a special alert and all units are now under free engagement orders if any military units from Sevaris attack border checkpoints or make any aggressive moves (these are pending command approval). If any military action is taken towards the Empire of Layarteb we will not hesitate to defend our citizens and our honor.


REDCON 5 Normal peacetime readiness
REDCON 4 Normal, increased intelligence and strengthened security measures
REDCON 3 Increase in force readiness above normal readiness
REDCON 2 Further Increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness
REDCON 1 Maximum force readiness.

END...

I see that you are 2/3 surrounded by Sevaris, which is a most dangerous situation to be in regardless of the other country. It is most unfortunately because the waterways are all bordering Sevarian territory. Perhaps that territory could be yours?

The Empire of Layarteb has a vested interest in the land of Delaware because of the situation of the waterways. Control of the Delaware coast would ensure us full control over the waterways that lead up to Philadelphia, a major port that is in Layartebian territory.

We wish you to ultimately consider given the history you share and expansion wishes of your land. However, we will not press the issue with you. We will offer our experience though. Sevaris cannot be trusted nor can the country be held to its word.

Secret IC reply! Shh!Colodia is currently moving it's capitol from Washington D.C. to Bogota, Colombia. Seeing as how we stretch from El Salvador all the way to Northern Brazil. We consider that our natural homeland.

Besides, we realize the danger Sevaris poses to us. Although he may not be a danger today, he may be one tomorrow. So it is for the best that the capitol is moved to Bogota.

However, this is not to mean that Washington D.C. is up for Sevaris to swipe. There are many underground bunkers that contain nuclear weapons info in the event of a last-ditch effort should Colodia be invaded. In addition, some questionable evidence of previous governmental corruption is crammed in there...perhaps even some millions of Colodian Rupios ($1.5 = 1 Rupio) Naturally, Sevaris must NOT take control of D.C. at any cost.

Also, Washington D.C. holds historic governmental buildings. Such grand buildings, world renowned. Perhaps in the future, when D.C. is no longer threatened, we will move back. But for the coming weeks...months perhaps...we will remain safe at Bogota.

If you mean for Colodia to invade Maryland and commence war with Sevaris, then we must have aid from you to do so. Colodia already has an alliance with Communist Mississippi, so we can stay on his better side.

If Maryland is invaded, then only Sevaris will lose.End Secret!

Breaking News!
Newly elected President Roman Black has announced that he will move the capitol of Colodia from Washington D.C. to Bogota. This was met by many emotions, some angery protesters rallied at Washington D.C. as the U-Haul trucks arrived. But many soldiers in the D.C. area were extremely relieved.

"You just never know, ya know?" says Pvt. Andrew Walken, "Sevaris isn't exactly a trusted friend. And it's not like we won't pass up any opportunity we can get. If Colodia sees an opportunity to grab Maryland, it's definatly going to Colodia. But that would mean Sevaris would launch extreme offensives on D.C...and that would mean my death."

"Well I just have to say phooey to those Sevarises over there!" shouts Corporal Troy Harkins as he shakes his fist at the Sevaris soldier down the hill, "Why should we back down over a little nation like Sevaris? Not like they can get past Ol Betsy here..." finished Harkins as he patted a tank.

The changes are taking place as we speak and will likely take days to complete, given the massive amount of paperwork needed to be shipped and organized over 5,000 miles away.


OOC: Omg! Li3k...an essay!

Remember, DA has a nice chunk of troops in Delaware/Maryland, to help our ally Sevaris.

I am confused DA. You were first against Sevaris going into Delaware and now all of a sudden you are supporting him? The Empire of Layarteb believes that Sevaris joined the LOCP simply to cease aggression possibilities from you.

I am confused DA. You were first against Sevaris going into Delaware and now all of a sudden you are supporting him? The Empire of Layarteb believes that Sevaris joined the LOCP simply to cease aggression possibilities from you.

No, we joined it because we felt the LOCP shares the same ideas that I do.

Let me me make myself VERY clear. This is the last territorial claim I have to make in North America- I assure you, I do not want D.C. or Pennsylvania, or any other territory around Maryland. Layarteb and Colodia, you have nothing to fear from me.

In response to statements made by Sevaris, the Empire of Layarteb would like to reissue its statement of concern. The waterway to Philadelphia passes between New Jersey and Delaware making Delaware of the utmost concern for us. We will remain at REDCON 3. However we will further expand upon the aggression clause and extend it to Colodia as well. If any aggression or attack is made towards or against Colodia we will act to defend them as we would ourselves.

Celtayoshi has announced a increase in military training across the board. Furthermore the Celtayoshi Army will be mobilising its 29th Infantry Division (Mechanised), the 23rd Infantry Divison (Mech) and the 2nd Imperial Infantry Division (Mech) ready for deployment, they will remain at rapid deployment stance for the foreseeable future.

The Empire of Layarteb notes the training exercises in Celtayoshi and would like to offer the option of a joint exercise on the border with Labrador.

Celtayoshi accepts the Layarteb offer fo a joint exercise on the labrador border.

Celtayoshi also proposes the Toronto-New York Accord, whereby Celtayoshi and Layarteb reconise the aforementioned nations borders, and agree to assist, if necessary and asked, with the defence of said nations border.

That is satisfactory to us. We would be happy to assist our allies in Colodia. If you require our assistance in defence of any of your borders we will come to your aid.

A Statement from the Empire of Layarteb

Efforts to calm the tensions between Layarteb and Sevaris failed yesterday. In an attempt to declare the waterways between New Jersey and Delaware, leading to Philadelphia a demilitarized zone, the EOL proposed that the DMZ would be extended to twelve miles from the coast. Unfortunately, diplomats within Sevaris in contact with those in Layarteb failed to respond. We withdraw our offer for a DMZ and will maintain at REDCON 3.

OOC: Eh I can't remember it either *lots of embarrassed smilies*, *comes up with knew name quickly: North American Allied Nations Pact (NAANP), feel free to suggest something better.

IC: "Ladies and Gentlemen, gathered members of the press, the Celtayoshi government has today signed the North American Allied Nations Pact with Layarteb and Colodia. This commits Celtayoshi to the defense of both nations, as well as increased protection for Celtayoshi should the need arise. Other nations should note that this is primarily a defensive agreement between our nations and relations with all nations are unchanged. Thank you."

North American Allied Nations Pact

Preamble
Recognizing that the sanctity of nations inside of Earth II North America is vital therein it is the duty of certain nations to establish a mutual defense pact. With the aim of maintaining protection from aggression both foreign and domestic in all territories of the signed nations, this pact hereby establishes the following:

The treaty will set up a council that will oversee the upholding of this treaty. Each member nation will be allotted a single vote inside the council. A simple majority will be required for action and, for any changes to the treaty; a majority of at least two thirds of the member nations will be required.

Aggressor Nations
If any nation within this treaty is attacked without provocation by a foreign or domestic nation, regardless of status, members of this defense treaty shall be obligated to assist. If the nation being attacked, the victim wishes to retaliate against his or her aggressor then, if desired, it can call upon the assistance of all nations member to this treaty. If the victim does not wish to retaliate, they will not be obligated to and members of this treaty shall not pursue their own actions unless they are directly attacked or affected in negative ways by the aggressor nation. In addition, the victim does not have to request the assistance of members of this treaty.

Treaty Conditions
First, the defense of the signed nations against enemies both foreign and domestic is paramount. All nations shall act to the best of their ability to defend one another in the event of aggression.

Secondly, no member nation shall seek unjustified war without providing an explanation to the council. Thereby the council will decide whether the war shall be legal or illegal. Any illegal actions will be met with sanctions and/or conflict as well as any other possible circumstance. The council shall decide on the course of action against any violator.

Thirdly, joining this treaty will require an embassy of each member nation in each country.

Fourthly, if any one nation is threatened by another it is a threat against all signed nations within this treaty and will be regarded as an attack on all nations if such does occur.

Fifthly, if any signed nation threats, attacks, or uses aggression against another signed nation, without a justifiable reason than they shall be expelled from the treaty and punished severely.

Sixthly, in order for any nation to receive any protection under this treaty they must be a member of this pact.

Seventhly, the council may enact any of the following circumstances to an aggressor nation but is not limited to them: sanctions, war, economic repercussions, etc.

Eightly, The duties of any member nations will be to uphold all conditions within this treaty. They will be expected to act logically and reasonably. Members will be required to contribute funds to the council in order to maintain basic cost needs. Members will be required to submit 1% of their annual budget to be deposited annually in the general bank account of the pact, to be held at the First National Bank with a branch in each capital of each signed nation. Members, unless directly attacked themselves, shall not pursue any aggressor without the approval of the victim. All members of this treaty are required, when asked, to provide assistance against any aggressor nation.

Ninthly, admission to this treaty will require a unanimous approval of all signed members. There is no limit to the amount of requests that a candidate country may make except that, if refused, the candidate must wait, at minimum, three real-life weeks before submission of another request. If a candidate is refused, upon resubmission, the candidate must address all previous reasons for having been denied.

Conclusion
Let it be hereby known that all members who sign this arrangement will be held in the fullest sense to its duties and requirements. Such actions to the contrary will result in a dismissal from the arrangement via two-thirds vote of all signatory members.

Signatories
The Allied States of Celtayoshi
The Economist State of Colodia

In a statement released today from the Ministry of Foriegn Affairs, Madrid

Sevaris is upset that negotiations failed yesterday. We agree that the DMZ should be extended to 12 miles from the coast, with the exception of warships leaving Wilmington and Philadelphia moving out to the Atlantic for exercises.

Layartebian diplomats will have to rethink the DMZ offer considering it was rescinded....

STATEMENT FROM EMPIRE OF LAYARTEB

The Empire of Layarteb's offer of a DMZ in the waterways between Delaware and New Jersey was accepted by Sevaris and therefore accepted by the Emperor. The zone includes all of the water and up to twelve miles from the coastline. Any military actions inside the DMZ constitute a clear violation and will be met with severe penalties. The only exception is for military units transiting out of the waterways to the Atlantic from Philadelphia and Wilmington.

The RQ-10A Pegasus was sitting on the ground at a secret Layartebian airbase deep inside of Pennsylvania. The RQ-10A was a brand-new UAV, built specifically for carrier-based operations but the Air Force was the first recipient, 40 of the $80M aircraft being built and delivered in record time. The RQ-10A used the same stealth technology as the most advanced Layartebian aircraft, giving it a radar signature of some 1/10000th of a square yard, which was approximately 1/1000th that of the F-117 and seagull. Thus far none of these aircraft had ever been detected and they wouldn't due to the extreme stealthiness of their classified designs.

The RQ-10 was 27.9 feet long, 6.1 feet high, and had a 27.8 foot wingspan. Empty, she weighed 4,000 lb. and could fly with an 8,000 lb. maximum weight. Equipped with 1,580 lb. of fuel, she could carry up to 2,200 lb. of ordinance in a single ventral bay. Ordinance was severely limited though. She carried eight Small-Diameter Bombs and four FIM-92J Stinger air to air missiles. Each 250 lb. SDB had a 50 lb. warhead but due to its design, it had the same penetration capabilities as a 2,000 lb. JDAM but was severely more accurate and could therefore, with its smaller warhead, deliver the same devestation explosion. The 22 lb. FIM-92J Stinger was an imaging IR guided air to air missile developed from the FIM-92 Stinger MANPAD. Due to its IIR guidance, it was impervious to flares and had a 7 lb. warhead, enough to do damage to any fixed wing aircraft or helicopter though a critical hit on a helicopter would bring it down.

Addtionally, the RQ-10 had a top speed of 650 mph at sea level but at altitude it could attain 900 mph. It's Pratt & Whitney JT15D delivered 3,190 lb. of thrust and could get the aircraft up to an altitude of 68,000 feet. With a 1,000 nautical mile radius, the RQ-10 could perform excellently around the borders of Layarteb, especially in the continental North America. The RQ-10 was equipped with the most state-of-the-art GPS systems and could deliver real-time reconnaissance imagry from thermal to visual to mapping. It was equipped with radar and IR ECM systems that could jam enemy missiles and radar, if necessary, but it would give away the position of the aircraft. She was also equipped with 60 bundles of chaff and 60 flares.

It was 2000 and the RQ-10A was sitting alone on the runway. This would be its very first mission, undoubtedly a vital one. Since the approval of the DMZ along the Delaware River, running between Delaware and New Jersey, the Layartebian military had been skeptical to believe that Sevaris, the bordering nation, were complying with the limits of the DMZ. Those limits extended twelve miles from the coast. Layartebian anti-aircraft and anti-ship batteries had been brought back to thirteen miles and intelligence posts were kept static at twenty miles. The RQ-10A was set to fly over the Delaware River at 65,000 feet a total of eight times, providing detailed reconnaissance information. It would be flying at 700 mph making it next to impossible to shoot down let alone see.

It took to the skies at 2015, climbing high to 65,000 feet and then assumed a south-southeast course, accelerating to 700 mph. It was a mere two hundred miles to the start of the river and the loiter would put its return journey, upon landing, at 800 miles, well within the range of the aircraft. The RQ-10 was carrying a light payload, two SDBs and four FIM-92s. In the event that a Sevarian military post was detected within the DMZ, the RQ-10 would probably be used to bomb the target.

As it passed over the Delaware River just after 2045, it began it's reconnaissance run. The eight passes put it on the egress at 2120. It landed back at base at 2150, a total of eighty-five minutes of flight. She came back with enough fuel for an additional 100 miles, which was just what they were hoping. Headwinds and tailwinds were unimportant, luckily. They hoped that the results would be promising.

OOC: I didn't RP anything found or unfound as I am not going to put military units there or not there without you doing the RP. So Sevaris, go ahead and RP whether you have military units there or not just remember that the above was secret.

She was also equipped with 60 bundles of chaff and 60 flares.

It was 2000 and the RQ-10A was sitting alone on the runway. This would be its very first mission, undoubtedly a vital one. Since the approval of the DMZ along the Delaware River, running between Delaware and New Jersey, the Layartebian military had been skeptical to believe that Sevaris, the bordering nation, were complying with the limits of the DMZ. Those limits extended twelve miles from the coast. Layartebian anti-aircraft and anti-ship batteries had been brought back to thirteen miles and intelligence posts were kept static at twenty miles. The RQ-10A was set to fly over the Delaware River at 65,000 feet a total of eight times, providing detailed reconnaissance information. It would be flying at 700 mph making it next to impossible to shoot down let alone see.

It took to the skies at 2015, climbing high to 65,000 feet and then assumed a south-southeast course, accelerating to 700 mph. It was a mere two hundred miles to the start of the river and the loiter would put its return journey, upon landing, at 800 miles, well within the range of the aircraft. The RQ-10 was carrying a light payload, two SDBs and four FIM-92s. In the event that a Sevarian military post was detected within the DMZ, the RQ-10 would probably be used to bomb the target.

As it passed over the Delaware River just after 2045, it began it's reconnaissance run. The eight passes put it on the egress at 2120. It landed back at base at 2150, a total of eighty-five minutes of flight. She came back with enough fuel for an additional 100 miles, which was just what they were hoping. Headwinds and tailwinds were unimportant, luckily. They hoped that the results would be promising.

OOC: I didn't RP anything found or unfound as I am not going to put military units there or not there without you doing the RP. So Sevaris, go ahead and RP whether you have military units there or not just remember that the above was secret.

At the time, there were only a few Sevarisian units operating near the DMZ. Most of the 30 ships based at Wilmington were already in the harbor, but the destroyer Carroll was on patrol near the shore.

In addition to the destroyer Carroll, there was a lone Nimrod performing MPA duties. It was flying a path along the Delaware coast.

Still Secret IC

The results came back from the Pegasus flight. A lone destroyer was operating a patrol route along the coast and thermal imaging as well as visual confirmed the presence of a Nimrod flying a patrol as well. Neither the destroyer nor the Nimrod appeared to be conducting their operations with hostility or aggression. The intelligence bureau made a note and a second flight would be flown in twelve hours. Additionally, Layartebian radar and anti-stealth systems along the Delaware River and in the surrounding areas were given the information about the destroyer and the aircraft. If any Sevarian units crossed the half-way mark across the Delaware River, they would be considered hostile and fired upon with the intention of destruction. A verbal warning would be sent first and if no reply was recieved, they would be fired upon just as they reached the quarter-way mark (for Layarteb 3/4 for Sevaris) along the river. Layartebian Patriot PAC-4 missiles and BGM-180 Harpoon II missiles would be used.

OOC: I don't know much about physics in terms of trajectory for projectiles or much about any of that related ballistics stuff. However, what I have proposed is not an ignorant guess.

Ultra-Secret IC

The Emperor was in his usual national security meeting, joined by some two dozen people. But it was concluding and he was planning on continuing it afterwards, with a few of the two dozen people. "Alright gentlemen, that is it for the day. Shall we remeet tomorrow afternoon?" The intelligence minister concluded. They nodded. "Very well."

The Emperor motioned for several of the people to stay. They included the Joint Chiefs, the Minister of Intelligence, and a top scientist in the cabinet. "Gentlemen, this situation with Sevaris is unnerving. UAV flights show that they are upholding their agreement with the Delaware River DMZ. But it's such a small body of water that it can be defended from eighty miles away as we do. What concerns me is the leadership. We know little of the leadership and of the military capabilities of Sevaris but we do know something, Baltimore is the center for Sevaris in North America. They are elsewhere but that is of no concern to us right now. We are concerned only with the immediate. Baltimore is close to the border and less than three hundred miles from Utica in New York. Dr. Feelgood why don't you finish what I am eluding to."

"Yes sir. Gentlemen, some time ago we began research for a supergun that could fire two thousand kilogram projectiles some one thousand kilometers. Unfortunately, the force and requirements of such a gun would create a static weapon system on the side of a mountain, exposed to satellites. Additionally, the force would be equivelent to a nuclear blast and thus create a significant seismic event. We wouldn't get more then ten rounds off before the gun shook loose. The project was cancelled. However, we have been working, secretly, to develop a supergun that uses electromagnetic acceleration and firing devices. We have been high successful accelerating projectiles of some ten kilograms to speeds in excess of twenty kilometers per second!"

"Thank you doctor. Now what I am proposing is a twelve inch design, mounted inside a mountain with full traverse and elevation to fire twelve inch, six hundred and sixty pound projectiles some five hundred miles away. We can mount nuclear, chemical, biological, or conventional warheads on each GPS guided, fin-stabilized shell. We'd be accurate to within feet. With this technology we can attain a fire-rate of some eight rounds per minute and achieve muzzle velocities of some sixteen thousand feet per second. Am I correct doctor?"

"Yes sir. Emplaced in Utica, this would put Baltimore will within range."

"Very well. The project will cost us, in total, $5 billion but we can certainly manage." The Joint Chiefs were silent and shocked. They could only muster one question.

"Sir what branch would it be under?" The General of the Space Division asked.

"That would be the Space Division," a smiled erked on the General's face as he heard that his division would under control of the gun. "But let it be known that orders will come directly from me on this one. And only me... Construction will begin immediately and it should be ready in a few years. We have already begun hollowing out the mountain and such for a previous project that was cancelled so most of the hard work is already complete. We just need to reconfigure it. Of this $5 billion, $1.5 billion will go to the firing computer. This is an expensive project but think of the possibilities." Silence continued to roar in the room.

Secret IC to Celtayoshi

It has worried me that the DMZ has been set up with such difficulty. The Delaware River is of significant importance to us. The presence of any Sevarian military units will constitute an act of war against the Empire of Layarteb and certainly it will not be met with friendly outcomes. We ask that you please keep your guard up as intelligence sources have eluded to the possibility of Sevarian special operatives trying to stage a sort of mini-war with Layarteb, Colodia, and Celtayoshi to make them look like the good guys in this situation. The stance of Decisive Action is also rather unconvincing. We are not entirely confident that DA will not want territory in Maryland and Delaware. We must monitor more closely.

The Emperor of Layarteb

President Black has recently approved of the addition of 20,000 infantry and 2,000 medics to each company. As well as 50 tanks.

In North Carolina, 20,000 men are ready to begin their way into the state and enforce Colodian rule to the anarchaic society.


(OOC: I had this better IC, but it got erased and my hands are freezing...)

Secret IC reply to Layarteb:

I see, perhaps the NAANP should develop first-strike and retalitory-strike Plans. In any case we are evaluating our current plans daily, and are trying to keep pace with events. Our Navy has begun a build up with the recalling of some Atlantic Fleet Vessels for resupply and then deployment closer to Celtayoshi, in preparation for any action which may be taken. The Air Force is also conducting mock raids in the west to attempt to sharpen there skills.


OOC: Serv, you can't treat the message IC, but you can obviously notice the effects of the ships being recalled and air force operations in the west.

IC: We shall do the same with our Navy and Air Force. With the exception of the Naval ships taking part in the North Carolina invasion.

OOC: I'll pretend that this was also sent to me...

OOC: Ah yes, please do, i meant it for all NAANP members but becasue it was in repy to Layarteb message thats all I said. As for now all I can do is give this topic one almighty BUMP

LOL Celt and Col. Sev is back in the game so where the hell is he with this thread!

maybe he died, I hope not, I really wanted to test out the NAANP

Celt did you see my expansion into Central America?

yup

this is the last time I bump this thread, so Sev please reply :)

I sent him another TG let's see if he responds this time.

There is a good chance that I will be either going to or at war with Decisive Action very soon. My forces have been mobilized to DEFCON 2. Do not take this as a threat against yourselves, I am merely preparing for the possibility of war with DA.

The RQ-10A flight had just concluded. It had patrolled the Sevarian border and taken reconnaissance photos of the increase in force mobilization. The mobilization was most likely being done because of the increase in tensions with Decisive Action. It was confirmed by the Sevarian government that this was the reason their forces were mobilized. Nonetheless, Layartebian forces had to respond. Once again, Layartebian forces would go to REDCON 3 and any aggression against Layartebian border points would result in full, swift, and immediate retaliation from Layartebian forces.

Anyway, does this mean Sev will be rp with us on this anymore?

Nah we will still RP here. The RP section there is just for people who want absolutely nothing to do with the forums when they RP, call it a more private RP (keep out the OOC clutter from Earth 65987692 nations).

I meant would he be continuing the RP on the jolt forum, since he is probably gonig to war with DA, and so would he have the time for this RP.

Oh, I'm not sure...

The cannon was complete. A test fired shot 1,000 km to the east into the Atlantic Ocean was a success. An observation ship near the drop zone recordered and observed the projectile's impact, creating a very large blast of water upon impact. The dud shell was outfitted with a microprocessor chip and rather than a waterhead, it would deploy a floatation device. The projectile and the chip (as well as the information it recordered) were recovered and sent back. The results were phenominal. Now there awaited it's true reason, Baltimore...
