Now let me think Spiz, am I to believe you have built nothing on the steel part of the island? Now stop playing about, you've been attacked by a vastly superior force, its time to realise that.
:upyours:

And, Bjorn, our alliance is the second strongest in EII at least.

No, its just that the thing built on the steel part of the island is MADE OF STEEL, and how do you know that it is superior.

IC:
Following the Collapse of The Lightning Star the Fifth Fleet has been ordered to proceed to Baker Island to engage the invaders attempting to battle the bases formidable defences. The first and third fleets have also been ordered out of the Porto Princessa Naval Base to engage the enemy invaders.
Spizanian Strategic Command has returned Readiness to Level 1, one level below its status during the Pacifenisia Crisis
Huahin

Precisely my point.

They wouldn't destroy each other. The RC would get slaughtered, as each nation would be picked off one by one, with the others not helping.

Spiz, you're a joke, you really are. You have provided no info whatsoever on your island, only to say its one hundred square kilometers and made out of steel. :rolleyes:

I have, read the enlargement thread, the expanded the island is covered in steel tanks, enclosed steel bunkers holding pumps, steel containment vessels with electrolysis cells. And other predominately non-flammable buildings, if you hit me with bunker busters, the island would begin to rip itself apart.

Also the place has been armed like a fortress, flak, SAMs, ASHUMs, Anti shipping missiles, DP guns, all sorts of weapons,

We like TOA are not a coherent mindless blob that reacts to any similar event in the same manner. An attack on Rome would not be viewed similarly to an attack on TLS for obvious reasons.

And a war between TOA and the RC will never be, you forget they both have a connection.

Which brings me to my prior conclusion, and its not going to happen.

Also, the MOAB can be used as a bunker buster, and its effects will still be felt if it explodes at 30,000ft in the sky.

The MOAB may have a LOT of explosive power but it doesn't have any penetration power so if the bunker is deep underground the MOAB won't do much to it. It will definitely take out most anything on the surface.

No they're not, just look at the U2, which uses a modified version of the engine used by the B2

The B-2A uses turbofans. The U-2, which uses turbojets, can only achieve a maximum altitude of 70,000 ft.
Spizania
17-05-2006, 23:36
You wont feel a think when a MOAB is detonated at thirty thousand feet, if you did the most youd get would be a gust. They may be powerful but they arent nuclear.

You need hundreds of bunker busters to take down the structure of the island itself, you could cause huge parts of it to tear off and float away

General International Press Release


The Imperial Dominion of Cymrea is proud to announce the creation of the new senatorial department, the Ministry of Celestial Affairs. With this announcement, Cymrea joins Earth II in the quest for the stars through the newly created Cymrean Space Agency.

The Ministry's mission is to advance the scientific knowledge of all that lies beyond the atmosphere and to work with the Defence Ministry in defending Cymrea and her allies from potential celestial threats.

To this end, the CSA is now in the process of constructing its primary launching facilities on Christmas Island, bearing in mind a concern for the native environment. The Cymrean national park on Christmas Island remains the verdant preserve it has always been.

The Ministry of Celestial Affairs welcomes the international community and looks forward to working with other nations in the furtherance of peace and exploration. Upon completion of The Aerie - the collective name for all of the incorporated launch facilities and support structures - an international tour and conference will be organized to introduce Cymrea's friends and neighbours to the Cymrean Space Agency, to The Aerie, and to discuss the future of celestial exploration.

I was thinking, since there has been a lot of talk recently about alliances, there should be a section on Page One of this thread with all Alliances listed somewhere, with a link to a motto or a symbol/emblem etc, and a list of members. That would help people, especially new members, to see who is in what alliance quickly, instead of having to ask around.

Also, watch out for the Pan European Continental Gas Pipeline (PEC-GAP), its going to be the biggest thing since the Eurasian Line!

General International Press Release

The collapse of Yerffej has left many Sri Lankans in grave danger. As with Christmas Island and Norfolk Island not long ago, Sri Lanka's government is non-existent, and its people abandoned to chaos and strife.

So far, the only nation to respond is one that has been torn asunder by recent war and, despite a swift declaration, has hesitated in acting. This knight in rusted armour, astride a sway-backed nag cannot provide Sri Lanka the stability it requires at this critical juncture. With this in mind, a portion of the Cymrean Third Fleet has been dispatched to take control of Sri Lanka and return it to a stable, peaceful, and safe condition.

Cot's request brings a question to mind: how did everyone and their dog end up with nuclear warheads in their arsenals? Does E2 just have the shittiest non-proliferation record ever, or am I completely mistaken?

I personally think it would be great if nuclear capability was limited only to those who possess territories in RL nuclear-capable countries. Nuclear capabilities could be one more political facet to E2. Something to strive for other than simple square mileage.

And floating cities with ultra-fast-growing, carnivorous, mega-mushroom defences.

We- as in Earth II- don't have a nuclear treaty period. Everyone mostly tries to be self-sufficient, which (I think) explains the nuclear proliferation, because they're just a great defence. I have them for defence purposes only.

Yes, you made a public declaration for it first. You even managed to find the time and presumption to alter your map of Sri Lanka to show that you possess the entire island, as though it were uncontested.

But it is contested. And I posted an RP first, including a press release as to why. My RP thread so far acknowledges that you claimed it first, but also addresses why Cymrea is responding to and contesting your claim. Cymrea doesn't believe that Nepal is currently capable of providing stability to Sri Lanka, therefore Cymrea shall. That forms the foundation of my counter-claim.

I respectfully request that you read and respond to Operation Ravenwing II; please do not simply ignore it in favour of your own vision of the Nepalese annexation of Sri Lanka. I'm confident that you're not like other certain nations that would.

General International Press Release

Since the collapse of the Yerffeji government, Cymrea has launched Operation Ravenwing II, a concerted effort to bring peace and stability to Sri Lanka. This operation is very similar to the first Ravenwing operation which restored order to Christmas Island and Norfolk Island.

Cymrea has been tirelessly pouring aid and supplies into Sri Lanka with round-the-clock airlifts and sea transports. Cymrean troops are working with what remains of the former Yerffeji civilian authorities to begin the process of returning Sri Lanka to peace. Elements of the Cymrean Third Fleet are tasked with the protection of Sri Lanka's sovereign waters, an effort to maintain the viability of customs and fair trade. Temporary medical centers have been constructed to administer health assistance where needed. Food depots have been established to ensure that Sri Lankans can carry on with their normal lives without the worry of starvation.

In contrast Nepal has done two things: declared Sri Lanka for their own, and expressed outrage at Cymrea's "theft" of birthright lands. Lands that Nepal did not see fit to claim as birthright until after the collapse of Yerffej.

The only other response from Nepal has been to send a rather sizeable force of military troops to Sri Lanka. A sizeable force they somehow managed to keep from being destroyed by the overwhelming forces of the former Lightning Star's enemies. A sizeable force that may very well leave Nepal itself relatively undefended.

In the interests of peace and humanity, we ask that the Empire of Nepal return to its sovereign territories in the north of Sri Lanka and allow Cymrea to aid the south and center. We ask that Nepal explain this convenient birthright not pursued until the collapse of Yerffej. We ask that Nepal return its Twenty Corps to Nepal and look to its own defences instead of a blatantly imperialistic exploitation of a tragic situation.

The world is watching, King Kunaveeran. How do you answer?

Im about to put in my contender for wonder of the world, its going to be called the New Valley Project and it will be based in Oman, im going to build a series of massive solar towers which have been modified to evaporate water at the base and condense it at the top, desalinating it and lifting is over six hundred metres at a time, it is then fed into a siphoning pipeline that will take it over the mountains and into the central omani desert, i will then release it into the depression that makes up the eastern side of the Empty Quarter, it will evaporate, the trade winds will move it back up against the mountains where some of it will condense again, and as i keep adding more and more water it will eventually form watersheds there and begin to form rivers flowing across the empty quarters eastern half, i will build a temporary earth dam to stop it there until i can persuade the people controlling the corresponding areas of Saudi and the UAE to let me form them some rivers across the desert and into the Persian Gulf, once the channels are established (which will take a while, being as to start with, most of the water will be evaporating rather quickly) i will start planting sand grasses on the banks of the channels and gradually build up soil banks, its a long term process but i for one could do with the extra arable land, as could alot of people in that area. Before i here massive shouts of GODMOD and the firing of batteries of IGNORE cannons, this is technically possible with Real Life Technologies, the reason it hasnt been done is,
A:- Its not economically feasible with RL Food prices
B:- The Countries are too busy fighting over territory to cooperate with something like this
C:- Some Greenpeace type enviromentalists would probably set up settlements in the projected river channels in an attempt to stop it

We dont have to really worry about that at all.

That actually sounds like a very innovative plan. Very costly I presume. If you can get support from people in the areas concerned I will consider donating some money to the project.
Spizania
19-05-2006, 22:20
Not as costly considering what benefits you get, the mechanical end is quite low maintainance, alot of the system relies on laws of physics to work, so apart from occasional repairs, it can just be left to work on its own, sure initial outlay is massive, but after that most of the money is spent building up the foodchain in the desert, not in the engineering areas.
Thanks for actually considering it.
Il run up some numbers when i finish my calculations

EDIT:
I have area numbers:-
I will require fifty Solar Towers One kilometre tall with 36km diametre solar collection systems, these will produce the desalinated water at the top where it will be fed into a split siphon which joins up at the bottom of the towers and runs over the mountains to the end point somewhere in the central desert.
The total solar tower required area comes to 5089.38 square kilometres, which is about 2.3% of Omans land area, since i can use any of the more barren stretches of the northern coast, this is not a problem, il be reclaiming land i cant really use otherwise.
The water outflow at the end point of the siphon will be an average of just over 2000 cubic metres per second, or the outflow of the Rhine, i would suggest that the flow out of covered buffering tanks be in the region of only 1900 cubic metres per second to make up for a lessening of water flow to be produced by the towers during the night. (The tower structure has such a high thermal mass that it will not really be affected too badly by nightfall).
I should achieve a decent sized river flowing to the Omani border, where if noone else goes along with this i will stop it at a damn and maybe pump it back up to the release point. If they agree i will release it.
I am also planning to build two or three more siphons in the southern part of Oman and my part of Yemen pumping into the same depression.

The first siphon system will cost approximately five hundred billion dollars to build, with the management and implanting of suitable fauna and flora costing over three trillion USD. That is where the real cost is.

Spizanian National News Service
Today the New Valley Project Management released a report detailing the progress of the Project since construction started two months ago, the solar towers that will make up the pumping and desalination of the first waterhead array are approximately thirty percent complete, covering an estimated two thousand square kilometres in glass and reaching nearly three hundred metres into the sky, however it will be another four to five months before each tower is completed and stands one kilometre tall.
Meanwhile work has been progressing well on the siphon, about forty percent of the pipe required has been installed and is undergoing integrity tests prior to being encased in a concrete shell and buried. The project has already cost three hundred billion dollars and will cost almost one trillion by the end of the primary engineering works.

Im using fifty massive solar towers to desalinate sea-water and pump it 600m up, then its fed into an inverted siphon that will carry it to the release site on the edge of the Depression that covers the eastern part of the Empty Quarter, i release the water, it flows into it, down to the southern edge of the depression, flows into Elephantums territory and then around to be released somewhere near Dubai, i will then colonise the sand dunes around the stablised channel with marram-grass, then heather and finally with trees. Il be building additional rigs with better systems (im going for simplicity with this one) that will create more rivers and turn the whole region green and drive back the desert

Generic 5 Star European Hotel Room...

In the early hours of the morning as the room was still dark, only a sliver of light penetrated through the heavy drapes. A shrill, high pitched noise broke the stillness in the vast room. It was a phone.

Something stirred in the double bed and a figure shot up silently to a sitting position, looking catiously around. The man, his senses slowly coming back, fumbled over the bedside table, scattering a wallet and a diary before reaching the phone. He picked it up and cut the shrill ring.

His fuzzy voice broke the newly won silence,

'Hello?'

The voice at the other end [Generic European Creepy But not Really Voice] sounded calm but urgent, 'Is this Robert Langdon?'

The man in the hotel room, Langdon, sat up a little straighter now.
'Yes...this is Robert Langdon...and who is this?'

'This is the Jolt Forums Special Task Force, we've come across something startling, something...unnerving, perhaps you may help us?'

Langdon took the phone off his ear and sighed.

'Listen here, I've been in two fucking European Hotel rooms in as many bloody years and there's always a phone call in the middle of the night, now piss off and let me get some sleep.' Langdon slammed the phone down and collapsed back onto the bed.

THE END.

Spizanian National News Service
Today in a grand cerimony, the construction work on New Valley Project Pumping Array 1 was declared complete and the release system was opened, two thousand eight hundred cubic metres of pure water are now emptying into the desert every second, the water is now working its away across desert following the course that was predicted in computer simulations, a few minor dykes are keeping it in Spizanian Territory until it reaches the point where it turns and enters Elephantum Controlled Saudi Arabia. It is estimated that it will take three days for the water to reach this point and another two weeks before it reaches the release point somewhere just to the west of Dubai. By agreement with the government of Elephantum, work has already begun preparing a preliminary watercourse that will keep the river in their territory while still allowing it to evolve naturally.
Planting of adapted Marram Grasses and other pioneer plants will begin approximately two weeks, once the rivers location has stabilised.
Work on a second more complicated but more efficient pumping array has already started around Raysut (it will eventually pump three thosuand cubic metres of water persecond into the Wadi Shihan, wish will be diverted as to flow all the way to the main depression) and a smaller project has already begun pumping water down a dry riverbed in the coastal plain near Duqm.

Planing has already begun for a new city where the extended Wadi Shihan and the new river, asyet unnamed, has begun, it will be centred around the worlds largest building, which will when complete stretch nearly two and a half thousand metres into the sky

Message to the world and the United States of Brink

The 3rd annual elections have just finished and the winner has been announced. Replacing Sarah Ovambo will be the Botswana native, Ngozi Baruti. Baruti is a pacifist, although not strict, and has announced his goals for his term. The military will be downsized and funding decreased. The navy will receive more funds than any other branch with the air force following close behind. However, more troops will be sent into TATO in which Baruti would like to play a more active role. He has shown his support for the Organization and will continue to push for its growth. Baruti’s main goals however, involve security and domestic affairs. A massive amount of funds will be placed into newly created Arts Programs. Metaphorically speaking Baruti hopes to make the arts to United States as religion is to the Vatican.

His vice president is Jackro Abiola who will be supervising the arts and economic programs. Also Harvard Dugan as retired and is to be replaced by Lieutenant General Hamza Mahiri. Finally Farrell will be replaced by Gunter Whitman as Head of Foreign Relations.

TATO: at war

OOC:
Now besides being cooler than your alliance, TATO has something your alliance doesn't have aside from expert drinking abilities, uber videogaming skills, and superior ego-inflation.

Yeah that's right, we have a symbol, and you don't. Oh but wait, not just one symbol, we got two biatches! Where you at? That's what I thought...

Green with envy, yes marvel at our greatness and our knowledge of fractals, NES videogames (I'll kick your ass Ganon!) and several hours of investigating African symbols.

Outside Circle: Represents the world, continuity
Triangles: Represents Tri-African Treaty Organization
Fractal Design: Represents infinity and longevity

Peace:
White: Represents peace and tranquility (duh)
Nyansapo: Symbol represents intelligence, wisdom, and patience as a means to acquire one's goals

War:
Red: Represents hostility (duh)
Akoben: Symbol reresents vigilance and wariness.

Lay: D12 status on Yerffej is that TLS and I have agreed to split Sri Lanka between us. As per his own proposal, he keeps his original territories, plus gains the Western and Northwestern provinces (#4 and 8 on your Sri Lanka map). I get everything else.

I've sent at least three TGs and posted all over this thread and the Operation Ravenwing II thread. Despite being active throughout these past days, I have no word back from him, nor a single post of confirmation.

So, I wait.

Has anyone check out this book

"Showdown: Why China wants war with the United States." I heard about it today on the radio and they said that China is developing weapons to destroy US satellites and other weapons to specifically combat the US arsenal and that China is a trading partner with almost all of US enemies.

Announcement to the World regarding TATO

TATO has just finished Operation: ZEBRADART and has announced the massive changes among our borders regarding Africa. Already working in our homelands, the Mulungu Project will be expanded into those countries in which we have just acquired. This means that our readiness level has been downgraded to Peace Time. ZEBRADART marks the first successful operation by TATO forces. In celebration of this the international headquarters of TATO, a state of the art, high security complex, has been constructed in Johannesburg, South Africa. This complex will house all matters related to TATO including its military headquarters.

This coincides with the grand opening of the international court system started by Ovambo and finished by Baruti in Johannesburg, South Africa. This complex is also state of the art, not to mention beautiful. It sits in the heart of the city surrounded by gardens, parks, and ponds. It is Baruti’s hope that every nation will agree to its use.
