Okay I stopped at post 9500 so anything new after that will be in the next update.
To quote wikipedia
So Channel Islands are mine too.
North Germania owns those Islands you are trying to claim. This was documented many many pages ago when Pantheaa tried to snatch them up under the same pretenses. When that battle for England took place with Kriegorgrad all the possessions associated with Britain were seized and divided up amongst Myself, Cotland and NTG. Now if you would like me to I can provide the link to all the relevant documentation showing our conquest of England if you would like (this happened well over a year ago). I really don't want to go to war over these silly islands but the principle of the thing is we fought for our lands and by golly if you want more then attack someone for space. Don't run around looking at maps laying claim to some sand bar. IF this is not clear then launch a conquest of the Channels and see how fast the fly is swatted.

Imperial Decree
In response to Layartebian military activity near our Cuban borders we have raised the status of all Ninjanian military forces from low to elevated. This status will remain until we have seen a decrease in forces near our borders to normal levels.
(Elevated status means that a couple more patrols are sent out, and more helicopters and aircraft are put on patrol. Nothing really big.)
ACTHUNG! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10336504&postcount=7) This posting is reproduced below in what matters.
Layarteb City
The Emperor sat at his desk. His speech for the evening was something that would be broadcast around the world, especially in Europe. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the Empire. It is my pleasure to speak to all of you this evening." He smiled. "This evening I can announce that the Empire is taking a step towards the preservation of our safety and our security.
"I have ordered a build-up of our military forces in Norway, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Caribbean, and Europe. Threats from the Russian Federation have prompted us to entertain the notion of pre-emption. I agree this is a very unworthy time for this but I must digress. We signed a treaty with the Russian Federation, a Non-Aggression Pact, which we do not believe they have any intention of honoring. We must be prepared if they do. The Empire will not be caught by surprise when tanks and helicopters of the Russian Federation sweep over the borders into the lands of our allies.
"Moreover, we also turn our attention to the Pacific. The Tyrandi government, in a seemingly unknown and secretive alliance with the Russian Federation, has been making threats against our Norwegian allies and their land in Australia. We will not stand idly by as our allies, who have shown time and time again that they will die for us, are threatened. The Empire will not allow those in the world to threaten the balance of power that exists.
"The Empire calls out to all nations of the world who seek peace, enjoy the status quo, and dislike the dishonesty and lack of integrity of these two nations to unite under the banner of sovereignty. World War II cannot happen. World War I was nothing to speak of in light nor shall World War II be something to speak of period. Ladies and gentlemen, should World War II break out, it has the potential to cause worldwide catastrophe on a scale so great as to kill billions. We cannot stand idly by and let that many innocents die.
"The integrity and the honor of the Empire shall be preserved at all costs and at all times. Thank you and have a good evening."
OOC: ICly i am not in alliance with him neither did he make any IC threats. You're kind of jumping the gun here, oh well.
IC:
Message to the world regarding Layatrebian military build-up
We call upon peace loving nations of the world to condemn this unneccessary display. The alliance Mr. Emperor has spoke off simply does not exist in reality, the Russian Federation has not sent any sort of aid to the nation of Tyrandis, neither did they express any wish for us to send them aid, neither do we intend to controll the deals that might or might not be made in the future between the government of Tyrandis or any other nation and private companies based in the Federation. I would like to urge Mr.Emperor to act upon what he preaches and show both integrity and wish for peace by continuing to honor the Non-Aggression Pact signed by our respective nations. If the Empire of Layatreb builds up forces along the Russian Federation border we will have no other choice but to respond with a similar build up which will ruin all we have worked for. The accusations thrown at us are baseless and there is nothing to explain these actions exept by suggesting that purhapse the Empire does not wish for peace. I once again urge all nations of the world with a desire for peace including members of the October Alliance to condemn these actions."

OPEN MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
While we regret the threats of violence being hurled by various nations, it appears all the attempts for peace have failed. We would beg the nations of the world, particularily those allied to belligerent nations, to do what they can to prevent war, especially a war involving nuclear weapons.
We will declare neutrality, and encourage as many nations as possible to do the same. However, we will open our borders to any unarmed refugees seeking refuge.

Official Statement from the P.F.B.
*segment of speech made by the Patriarch, broadcast from the national capitol of Esthar*
Bjornoya announces its withdrawal from the VCO.
We joined this organization in hopes of preventing war. Instead it seems to have accomplished just the opposite. This alliance; instead of being used as a defensive tool has been used to back potentially disastrous movements by certain member nations. Exchanges made with otherwise friendly nations have to be viewed with suspicion because of our association with the VCO.
This alliance no longer serves the best interests of our nation. We do not wish any ill towards its members and would like to continue relations but on an individual basis.
With its departure Bjornoya once again finds itself alone and isolated in the world. We may look upon this with fear or we may look upon this as an opportunity, an opportunity to start anew. Bjornoya has forged itself into a vast federation. We have incorporated millions of citizens in Africa who do not wish to be dragged into a conflict they know nothing about. Bjornoya will be more concerned with helping to re-vitalize this war-torn region rather than waste its energy avoiding a war it has nothing to do with. We look for peace in our nation, we look for a sound economical future, we look for the security and health of our citizens, we look for new opportunities.
We look to the west.

Official Communique
The United Eastasian Republic formally announces its withdrawal from the Voronej Cooperation Organisation.
The Eastasian people have spoken; in an official referendum 89% voted to leave the VCO after membership began to have an adverse effect on our nation's international status. We send our best wishes to those who were members of the VCO alongside us; we wish them the best in their future endeavours and hope to retain diplomatic ties.
For now, the UER is going into a period of self-reflection. Trade and diplomacy will continue as normal, but we ask to be recognised as neutral until any further notice. Any attempts to break our neutrality will be met with fierce opposition.
Official communique
The Kingdom is plesantly surprised to see the massive withdrawal from the VCO, and hope that this will lead to stabilization of the world. As stated earlier, we wish no harm to any of the (ex)members of the VCO, and wish to resume our friendly relations with the nations in question.

Bjorn-How exactly does your government work, particularily when it comes to elections?
Hmm, very complicated. It is more or less a somewhat static Aristocracy in the upper echelons (the Herrgotts). Newly acquired regions have their leaders selected by the best people people in Bjornoya from amongst the local populace. After aquiring certain merits and prooving themselves capable of handling themselves a semi-democracy is enstated locally and later for the entire state. For instance in the highly educated regions of the Bjornoyan mainland free and open elections occur every so often years for governing status (haven't decided yet, prbly about 3 years) We operate under a similar rationale used by the US nowadays. People under a certain age are not allowed to vote because they have not been educated well-enough to maturelly and rationally handle such situations. Similarly regions recently acquired (particularlly unidustrialized Africa) are not yet capable of self-governing considering they just had despots in power who instilled them with ideals that violate Bjornoyan beliefs in human rights. A fair amount of corruption exists as in all corporate democracies, Visara has a decent sway over the outcome of elections but is not malevolent.
I always keep in mind that Adolf was elected democratically, proof that democracy is not always the best solution.

By all means Bjorn you are correct, he was. One only has to look at the American model and you can see just how little faith the founding fathers actually put into the ability of the people to elect the correct leaders. This is why the Electoral College exists and shall further exist (thank God!)
In the EOL we do something very different. We allow democracy but only on the local levels. Federal and state are authoritarian.

The one about hindering the effects of factions? I remember vaguelly. Read it in philosophy class senior high-school year, best class I ever took.
Yeah, people forget the founding fathers restricted voting to only white-male-landowners. Many view this as appalling but I think the rationale for it is justifiable, perhaps I should say 'forgivable' to avoid complications, if they believed white-landowning-males were the most intelligent and worthy amongst the populace to elect leaders.
And even with this they had safe-guards.

Bjornoya,
You gave me the islands of Wallis and Futuna, but I need to know if they are under independent or French control (or any other nations for that matter). If you could tell me that would be great, thanks.
Due to recent events that deal is no longer viable as it was an arrangement of the now non-existant VCO. You'll have to forge your empire the old-fashioned way.

Okay.
Sorry man, Turetel but i don't think i can give you that much land since my alliance abandoned me and i am going through the tough period of reafirming my position on the global political playground. I wish i could give you something but i just can't.

Well, some people still wouldn't call the US the "good side" in the cold war. The RC was probably the most democratic bloc of our three
Well we did have the democratic system, remember that? Although some people did abuse their presence in the alliance, like, eh...Bjornya for example, basically taking my land away in exchange for nothing because we were in the same alliance and i thought he was looking out for the team.
Anybody up for a commerical bloc type of alliance? Not a defense pact but say a free trade zone or something.

Yeah out of the TOA, Cotland was the only democracy. The rest just all authoritarian. It was funny though, nothing happened in our alliance without a majority vote.
Hey Lay, Island of Rose is 20 dayts gone, do you mind letting me claim his part of Liberia for Turetel? Common dude its one day, its a small piece of land and Turetel needs land, and he might not be able to get it since by the time he logs on it will probably be snatched.

I only responded to the retoric being pitched. Besides as I posted in Kill-Switch, I won't have my 3 divisions fully operational in Australia for 30 days. As I stated earlier your response will determine my course of action in this matter. Ramping up mobilization, etc. will draw a measured response from me. Its gonna take your fleet several weeks to sail to Australia anyway. I am waiting for your initial fleet movements, etc. before I drop the hammer or if I do anything at all.

Very right wingest movie very!
from IMDB...
film depicting the invasion of the United States from the north and south by communist forces from Cuba and Russia in the beginning of WWIII and the efforts of partisans from a small mid-western town to turn back the invasion. This film is one of the basis of the beliefs of the citizens militias and patriot groups about the possiblity of a U.N. takeover of the U.S. The movie and the theory of the New World Order proposed by the militias are similar, invasion by a foreign force, a big gun grab, arrest of gun owners, military equipment being moved on railroads, enemy helicopters re-education facilities (concentration camps), and a citizen force that strikes back.
But the guy who directed it also makes the ROME Series on HBO (good show!)

Yeah we have an Air Force, mostly older planes, nothing really to use offensively. Just training planes and diplomatic couriers etc. We just got some new helicopters aswell, some new European small Helo. Quite nice looking with the IAF markings on them.
Our Army is pretty good too, very small but expertly trained, we have a lot of ties with Israel, the unarmed combat style for the Irish Defence Forces (IDF) is Krav Maga, same as Israel, who actually teach it to some of the Irish troops.
We also have the Irish Defence Forces Army Ranger Wing, the Sciathan Fhiannoglaigh an Airm, widely regarded as one of the best SF units in the world. They train mostly with Delta Force and Sayeret Mat'kal. A lot of them go to the Ranger School at Ft.Benning and go through other US programs.

I just did a quick scan in a few books I have about ships and planes, and the Air Force and Navy aren't much to be proud of. Canada should invade them to prove the military can still do something.
I always thought Australia was kind of rubbish military-wise...Some of their ground troops are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan still, correct? They're one of the few allies there that we have left.

Sikorsky was began by Sikorsky who was Russian, well he was technically Polish but he was born then Poland was a part of the Russian Empire. He was Tupolev's classmate at the engineering academy.

Message from Russian Federation
Due to the fact of EOL's current mobilizations i am raising the awareness status of Russian Federation armed forces. I would also like to add that we are prepared to use nuclear weapons to defend ourselves from foreign threats, with that being said i am also ordering the reopening of the nuclear weapons production program with the goal of 41000 nuclear warheads to be produced and assigned to the army by years end.
-Vladimir Ivanov.
Message to Russian Federation
If Nuclear Weapons are launched from sites in Russia and there said path takes them over Hawdawg territory, we will not hesitate to strike at these nuclear payloads before they impact targets in and around our nation. A nuclear weapon launched over our territory regardless of its height in the atmosphere is a breach of our air space and threatens the well being of our citizens. We advise the Russian Federation to rethink its nuclear policy for the sake of the lives of the noncombatants it would effect. We only maintain a small nuclear weapons program, but we have an extensive SDI program that can and will be utilized to disable and destroy Russian fired missiles if they target nations close to our borders.

The Roman Empire implores all nations to set aside their differences and resolve their issues diplomatically, to which we will be willing to provide a forum. We are disturbed and deeply worried that these grievances have progressed to the point of nuclear annihilation and fear that the world's innocent citizens could be destroyed because of a few angry politicians. We understand that recent events have put a hinderance to dialogue, but in the interests of worldwide stability and peace- not to mention the avoidance of irreparable damage due to a Nuclear Holocaust- we implore everyone to please attempt it.

We have tried to solve these issues peacefully, we even now are still open to peacetalks. However the Layatrebian Empire has shown that they do not wish for easing of tensions, in the most illogical way in which they usually act they have rejected proposal for diplomatic peacetalks and are still trying to do whatever they can to hinder Russian interests. We do not believe that there is a forum that Empire of Layatreb or its allies in the October Alliance will respect, if such a forum is created and the Empire of Layatreb shows its desire for peace and easing of tensions then we will be happy to resolve this issues diplomatically. If not then we will not bother ourselves to go to another meeting and sign another document of peace that the Empire of Layatreb and its allies will not respect.

We interpreted your message as using Nuclear Weapons for a first strike option. With the MAD (mutually assured destruction) that exists on our planet, we shouldn't be waving nuclear weapons at each other. Regardless nuclear payloads that violate our airspace will be dealt with accordingly.
Second point, it has come to our attention you have sent threatening overtures to the Bjornian Government about there conquest of New Caledonia. In fact, you country has laid some false imperialistic claim to it. We will not allow your forces to expel Bjornian Forces from New Caledonia and request your Fleets you have put to sea return home. This is a regional matter that doesn't need to involve the Russian Navy. Now to further convince the Russian Federation of this, we have put or will put to sea no less than (4) Battle Groups and will position ourselves between the Bjornians and your flotilla. If actions are taken to attack the Bjornians, we will react accordingly.

OOC: I never said my technology was fool-proof in SDI, the fact that I have a triple redundant system over three seperate locations would increase the overall odds that I would have a significant chance to knock down a majority of missiles that where inbound. No system is 100% effective, no matter who makes it. Just like no plane, tank, bomber, etc. is 100% impervious to attack.
Secondly, I have a huge financial stake in Bjorn. through oil investments and over a trillion dollars in stocks invested through his BSE market. Of which, I would like to remind you that you have shares marketed with him also. The moment that you threatened his country the value of your stocks should have hit junk bond status. This attack would cripple his country and severely damage the profit margins I have made in the market. I will not allow for someone to launch an attack on his country and screw up the long term investment strategy I have been working on for weeks to ensure a consistent revenue stream for my government projects. If you want an island in the Pacific buy one from somebody.
We do not bow down to threats, and we will not remove our forces from there they are. We have regarded the nation of Hawdawg as a neutral but friendly nation we could work with, now that you have made a decision to join the October Alliance it seems that our own relations must adapt and shift accordingly, sadly in a negative way since the October Alliance has no desire to lower the tensions and we will not be begging for peace, long lasting peace can only be reached if both parties desire it mutually, right now this is not the case.

If you desire peace in the region, turn your fleet around and sail home. I will do the same. My P-3C's will be arriving over your fleet shortly.

As far as our membership in TOA, it hasn't changed our position. We still are who we are. We didn't make a big deal about it, and we don't "alliance name drop". We are a reasonable people with reasonable ideals, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Membership in an organization doesn't change that.

The officiating WAS bad...how was that first Seattle touchdown NOT a touchdown? Darrell Jackson barely tapped the guy. The refs don't whistle it even when it's flagrant, yet here they did it with a small shove. Oh, and I don't even know HOW Ben Rothliesberger crossed the line (unless they counted his head as the ball...).
Though I personally believe Seattle lost the game more than Pittsburgh won it. They executed well until the point where they needed to most- in the red zone. Josh Brown missed two field goals (though mind you they were long), and the Seahawks appeared pretty jittery when Matt Hasselbeck threw the interception to Ike Taylor. They also repeatedly had the Steelers offence at 3rd down and failed to seal the deal- remember, the Willie Parker run, the 37-yard Hines Ward completion and the Rothliesberger "touchdown" were all third-down conversions. This was about failed execution. The Seahawks lost Super Bowl XL- the Steelers didn't win it.

Circadian rhythm, from what I recall from psych there's a normal 8 hour sleep time but cut in half is a time where the mind is most active, about 4 hours so if one wakes up then they feel a bit more awake than if they woke up after 6 or 7 hours. Catches up later though.

PRESS RELEASE
Ministry of Defense
The Kingdom of Norway
Yesterday evening at 2050 Greenwich Main Time, the Royal Norwegian Naval Vessel KNM 'Fusa' (D125), a destroyer of the Devlin Flight I class lost propulsion and main power following engine failure. The 'Fusa' was slated for decommission in two weeks and was on a final standard patrol in the Barents Sea, roughly 77 nautical miles from Russian territorial waters when the incident occured. As a result of the engine failure, the 'Fusa' came adrift with a heading which brought her on a direct path towards Russian territorial waters.
Despite numerous repair efforts, the damages were too substantial for repairs, and after drifting for the better part of 11 hours and being on the verge of entering Russian territorial waters, the 'Fusa' was abandoned. While still in international waters, the 'Fusa' was sunk by Norwegian naval aviation craft rather than to be handed over to the Russian Federation in order to ensure the protection of Norwegian national security. The 'Fusa' went down at 0730 GMT at a position 30 nautical miles from Severnaya Zemlya, a Russian posession. The evacuation went smoothly, and the crew were later rescued by Hirgizstanian and Layartebian naval units responding to the distress call. There are no casualties reported. The crew is expected to arrive in Murmansk in 2 days.
The reason for the engine failure is as of yet unknown, pending debriefing of the crew.
I sense World War III. Also, TLS [Carthage], when you get a chance, check your TGs.
