Downtown Kingston, International Press Conference

A female reporter fixes her hair and then begins to speak into the camera, "We're here today in Kingston to hear 'Di Dude' of Jamaica, Swoonie Woo, speak on the issue of expanding the Jamaican Empire's territory even further. It's been heavily rumored for the past couple of weeks that the government is thinking about annexing territory within North America after the more than successful annexations of Nigeria and Haiti just last year. Oh, here comes Swoonie now, quick get the camera on him!"

Swoonie comes out of a side room and walks cooly past the media and up to a metallic podium which has the Jamaican flag incrested on its frontside. The media take seats and hold up their mics. Swoonie clears his throat, rest his hands on the side of the podium, and begins to speak with a heavy Jamaican accent.

"I've gathered the media here today to speak on the expansion of the Jamaican Empire. After the overwhelming success we encountered in Nigeria and Haiti, we've decided to bring more territory and people under the banner of Jamaica. We're currently in talks with states in North America concerning annexation. Our target states where we feel we would be best recieved are: Georgia, Alabama, Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina and New York. Right now we're primarily focusing on Georgia and Alabama for strategic reasons, and we'll move on to the other targets only if these two are acquired. I'll take questions now. You sir, what is your question?"

A nerdy looking reporter stands up and asks, "How much will these annexations take out of the taxpayers money if the territories do indeed agree to be annexed?", he asked in a nasal voice.

Swoonie replied, "I can't give you exact numbers as of right now, but I assure you that in the end it will be nothing but benefitial to both parties involved. The territories that are in question this time are not as devastated by poverty as Haiti and Nigeria were, which means that these operations will cost less to maintain. Again, I assure you it'll be nothing but benefitial. Next question please."

Another reporter stands, "Previously you stated that these annexations were aimed at bettering the black race. Why have you chosen predominately white territories to bring under the banner of Jamaica?"

"Excellent question,", Swoonie answered, "there are blacks in urban areas of these two territories who are in desperate need of our help, they've been corrupted and taken advantage of and we want to bring them back to their former states of greatness, as is any human's original state. There are also poverty stricken whites in these areas who are in need of economic assitance, we reach out to all races who are willing to accept our help. This area also has a serious problem with the use and distribution of hardcore narcotics, we want to stop that now, and purify the area of this infectious problem. One more question."

A final reporter stands and asks, "Mr.Woo, when are you going to cut your dreads?"

Swoonie smiled and answered, "The same day you decide to cut off your genitals. Thank you for your time, I must go.", Swoonie left the room and exited from the same side door from which he came, his shoulder length dreads swinging as he walked.

We will agree with you on the point of oppression. While we wish instead action be taken by the current ruling bodies, and find such militaristic action hasty and distasteful, we will stand in neutrality regarding the upcoming invasion.
Personally, and off the record, I wish you every luck.

-Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

"First off, we appreciated your support for us back when we first annexed Haiti and Nigeria, and we appreciate your understanding of our reasons for annexation. We understand your concerns with what you call our "hastiness" for annexation. We've spoken with the current leaders of the territories in question, and they find themselves incapable of solving their problems from lack of funding and lack of manpower. This is far from a forced militaristic imperialist action. We've given the two territories the option to decline or accept our proposal. They've brought the issue to the people whom the govern, and they'll vote upon it. Once the results are clear, we'll either get the all clear or the no go to enter the said territories. We hope you understand our methods a little better now."

- Silent Murphy, Head of The Board of Annexations

Silent Murphy,
We in no way see your actions as imperialistic, at least not in the dark tone usually associated with that word in Slaytanicca. While we would normally seek to verify your claims, they would in no way sway our neutrality if they were falsified. As we have no reason to disbelieve you at this time, we will wish you every luck in your endeavour, with the possibility of aiding you in the future if we recieve solid evidence that it is the will of the people.
Thankyou for clearing that up, and all the best.
- Jeff C Gorevomit, Slaytanicca

Channel 19 Jamaican News:

"The results are in at the polls of Georgian and Alabamian citizens. Last Tuesday they were asked to vote on whether they'd rather remain under their current government, or become one with the Empire of Jamaica. In Alabama the vote was 70% yes to Jamaica and 20% no, with a 10% vote in the "I don't give a damn." option. In Georgia, the vote was 80% yes to Jamaica, 15% no, with a 5% vote to the "I don't give a damn." option. So there you have it people, Alabama and Georgia's citizens have decided that they'd be better off under the rule of a Jamaican government. We can expect to see Humanitarian aid workers arriving within a few weeks, and military personnel shortly after. Jamaica officially has a foothold within North America. We'll give more news when it comes."

Slight problem, we're allies, I have a base in your country, we've swapped embassies, but, look at these threads.

instead of annexing, why don't you just join the southern alliance?

OOC: Blah, not to sound like a lazy bastard, but I'm a lazy bastard right now and really don't want to read through both of those threads. Do you already claim Alabama and Georgia or is it someone else who does. I really wanted this land for RP reasons, and I don't think joining a southern alliance would allow me to precede with my plans.

My puppet country, that I support, Norleans, claims Louisiana, Mississippi and the port of Mobile, Alabama. Turkmeny has Florida and the rest of Alabama and Granzi has Georgia and South Carolina.

OOC: Wait, I think we can make this work. How about this, we as allies just don't interact with each other when it comes to American territory since we both have claims in the same places. But when it comes to anything else, we can interact as usual. Will that be good?

That might work, how about this though, since Granzi, etc. haven't objected to your annexation, and I only claim the port of Mobile, If you'll agree to letting me keep Mobile, you can have the rest you have claimed, if the others object, I'll sit out any conflict since I have conflicting alliances. As an ally, I would certainly give you free access to the port in Mobile with no problem. This way you get in get all the land you claim except one city/port and have a powerful ally already in place to your west in Mississippi, Louisiana (and not mentioned till now, Texas as well). Would this be agreeable, then I can RP with you in the gulf and the U.S.

the thread's been up for a while and they haven't objected yet. I say we proceed and cross that bridge if we come to it. :)

at a hastily called press conference in New Orleans

On behalf of Duke Huey P. Long III of Norleans, Lord Dallas Houston of Texarkania and myself, King 'Lude II of Mauiwowee, we welcome Jamaica Reborn's peaceful annexation in the contintinet of North America. As a show of our good will, Norleans has agreed to permit Jamaica Reborn free access to the port of Mobile for the purpose of offloading supplies, troops, etc. neccessary for their move into the rest of Alabama and Georgia.

Questions anyone?

Channel 19 Jamaican News:

"The first Jamaican Humanitarian aid workers have arrived today at the port of Mobile courteousy of the nation of Mauiwowee, just three weeks after the general populace of Alabama voted in favor of being annexed by Jamaica. The aid workers were said to be well recieved by the Alabamians and began their jobs immediately, heading out to the poor urban areas of Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Jamaican troops are said to arrive next week to act as a police force in the crime ridden state, until a new Alabamian police force can be trained and equipped."

Diplomatic Note to Jamaica

We ask for the deportation to Vastiva of all Madames, those involved with drug production (not distribution), and other such individuals if deemed undesirable.

Also any musical groups who want a tour.

And any chefs.

We are seeking to redevelop certain industries, and specialists would be appreciated.

"Once troops arrive we'll be able to sort the people out that you've mentioned and ask if they'd like to "travel" to your nation or if they'd rather stay where they are."

-Silent Murphy, Head of The Board of Annexations

Channel 19 Jamaican News:

"We've just recieved confirmation that 30,000 Jamaican troops have landed at the Port of Mobile, and are moving upwards to their various assigned positions in several towns and cities. We can tell you that the general populace are recieving the troops and aid well, they were even treated to a parade in the city of Birmingham. The Annexation Board tells us that the entire state should be secured within 24 hours, and so far they haven't run into any trouble with the locals. There have been reports of whites in rural areas migrating in large numbers to Mississippi and Tennessee. When a moving Alabamian was asked for his reasons for leaving he said, "I refuse to be lead by a negro.", and that is, what we can assume to be the rest of the migrators sentiments as well. We can expect to aid and troops reach Georgia later this month, as politicians are still working out some "kinks" and "knots" with territorial issues. We'll give more news when it comes."

We warn that if Jamaca does not cease its imperialistic ways we will have no problum with using our vast military strenght to set your nation straight. We will also warn you that we will involve other nations in North America if you do not pull out of North America.

You have less than 24 hours to pull your troops and workers out or we will not hesitate to begin massive strikes against your nation. You have been warned.

Channel 19 Jamaican News:

"We've just recieved confirmation from The Board of Annexations that the state of Alabama has been completely secured. A governor has been appointed and we can expect to see reconstruction of broken down urban and rural areas occuring soon. There's also been developments of rural whites migrating to Tennessee and Mississippi. Jamaica estimates that over 600,000 whites statewide have packed their belongings and left the area due to the fact that Jamaica now runs the state. The polls representing who wanted to be annexed and who did not, didn't reflect that this many people would up and leave, maybe those leaving should've participated in the vote. 70,000 more troops are going to be gradually deployed into the state, bringing the total number of troops in Alabama up to 100,000.

The training of police has already begun, with an estimated 200,000 rookies ready to be trained by Jamaican Sergeants. There have also been talks of a tank production factory being built in the city of Birmingham to make use of the city's large deposits of steel. We'll give more news when it comes."

OOC: Damn, I'm gonna have to try the "you do not exist" defense sometime. That was pretty good. :cool:

As a member of the Southern Alliance we hereby offer you the former lands of the New Jersey Counties, who sdaly have passed out of existence. Maybe your presence can revitalize this long dormant alliance. Of course Mauiwowee and Granzi will ahve to approve of this but I'm sure that they will.

OOC: Actually forget that Jamaica, I'm going to annex West Virgina but Kentucky is still open.
