The New Alliance

Alexias
26-11-2004, 23:23
The Emperial Goverment of the Alexian Empire is proposing a bold new union of nations.

The Unified Defence Frontier would be an alliance of sovereign nations, close allies, for trade, progress, and communal defence. Members of the Alliance would help each other in times of need, and defend each other in the event of attack, aswell as helping our allied goverments against internal enemies.

Those in the Alliance would strenghten economic ties, and help each other to grow and prosper.

All in the alliance would have a say in actions concerning it, and decisions would be chaired by the Alexian Empire as acting president. All nations are welcome, small and large, we welcome you.

The only exceptions are nations that propagate and aim towards the dominance of one perticular race or ethnicity(religion based goverments are allowed so long as their religious ideals do not interfere with progress)or those who try to bring upon anarchy, who we could not allow in the union, as such decisions,actions and beliefs are counter-productive and stand in the way of progress. But all others are allowed and encouraged to join us.

This union will cross ideologies and goverments. Democratic, dictatorial, monarchaicle, theorocratic, it does not concern us. Be you capitalist, communist, foolish, as long as you are prepared to activly participate in the protection and increased dominance and prosperity of the alliance, you will likely be welcomed in.


Simply tell me some things about your country, it's culture and people, and it's goverment and society, and why you want to join the alliance, and we shall decided weather you are ready to become part of this glorious alliance.


We also encourage you to set up embassies with all members of the alliance, and the Alexian Empire, even if you are not qualified or accepted.

It is the dawning of a new age, a new era, and hopefully, you have the wisdom to side with a faction that will come out on top.

"The Iluvauromeni Commonality of Everlasting Light has no intention of joining an alliance dominated by a smaller state.

"However, we would be willing to be officially affiliated with the alliance. This would grant the alliance Associated Power status, with all rights and priveliges thereof. Essentially, this would represent a mutual protection pact, with trade benefits such as marginally smaller tariffs, greater favour regarding Commonality Economic Court rulings (required before active, direct trading can commence between the Commonality and any other state), and generally speaking, a higher likelihood of Imperial Trade Conglomerate investment in economic assets operating within the alliance.

>snip<

As for Ma-tek, I don't like his superior attitude, but I will be willing to talk more about his offer within the alliance.

"If we had a superior attitude in truth, I would now say something to the tune of,

'The barbarian always marks the truly superior as egotistical,'

"but this, although possibly an accurate assessment when in the correct context, would not be accurate at all.

"I'm afraid you mistake cultural difference for claims to some sort of grand superiority. That is not so. What is however eminently clear is that the Commonality is both economically and militarily 'greater' than Alexius.

"That is not a claim, or aggrandization. It is hard, cold, fact. Now, were Alexius 'greater' than the Commonality, we might be willing to join an alliance which is so boldly lead by them. As that is not so, we have no intention of doing so.

"But were the alliance truly equal, we would have no difficulty joining. But does the elder bow to the wishes of the village newcomer? No. This is the difficulty.

"The Commonality is, as the name suggests, a form of democracy. The government is therefore dictated to by the People, unlike a dictatorship, whereby the government dictates to the People. The very capitalization of the word 'People' no doubt stands out boldly here.

"The People, or any large mass of persons, whether they be the population of a nation or a small town, can only, like any entity, make decisions by perception. Perception varies from person to person, culture to culture. In our culture, the oldest are revered; the wisest are revered; the strongest are revered if they are just and honourable in their deeds; and the honourable are, of course, revered.

"The Commonality itself, built on those principles, is undoubtedly strong. Whether our actions are wise or not is irrelevant, and there are none to truly pass judgement now; that is a matter for the historians of the future, who I suspect will know, in truth, even less than I. Yet to the People, the Commonality is undoubtedly strong. They see and observe the strength day by day; they feel the vigour of the strong beat of its heart when they gaze upon the capital; they are here. And they have seen the Commonality take actions which again and again have shown that very few indeed dare directly oppose that strength; many disagree - but almost none are willing to directly oppose it. Samtonia recently strived to raise an alliance against us, and Eru only knows why, but they failed because we were seen by those who took note of their call as both benevolent and mighty.

"The People of the Commonality indeed took note. Thus, when the government considers joining an alliance, the People expect that alliance to either have better leadership and greater all-round strength than the Commonality - for what other reason for joining an alliance is there? - or to have power distributed fairly, as in our fair nation.

"So you see: we are not saying that any in the alliance are weak. Nor are we truly saying that we are strong.

"What we are saying, however, is that the system named with those in power in power is not acceptable as it would provide no benefit to our People, and thus we will not join - but are willing to stand at the side of those who will."

~ Ambassador Nejure

OOC: Ma-tek it was nothing personal, why make half a page saying absolutely nothing at all. You did not want to join, fine, I do not care. You want to have a mutual protection pact, fine.

What I meant by "superior attitude" which you obviously missed was this: Smaller countries are able to be both great leaders of alliances or diplomats or even RPGs. We all started somewhere, I have been here for more then 2 years having a few different nations.
To quote you "The Iluvauromeni Commonality of Everlasting Light has no intention of joining an alliance dominated by a smaller state."
This to me gave an indication that you do not believe that smaller countries are able to lead an alliance fairly. I may be wrong, but that is how I read it. Therefore my response to your post.

Superior attitude is many things let's just remember that. A way of saying things or making indirect indications. But that may also differ from country to country.

So do what you want, it is your choise. I make my choise and we can get on with our lifes.

Ma-Tek, I must laugh at your arguments. You accuse me of not including the members of my alliance in decisions? Well, firstly, as President of the Alliance, it is only fair that I maintain some power in the procedings, and as you can see all these people agree with me, as they are in my alliance, and have. Secondly, we have made virtually no decision in which anyone can be included, and thirdly, if you had read properly, you would have seen that we are to hold a meeting to laydown the important shit, in which, as the policy of the alliance, all the members will be included. I laugh, in all due respect. Your proposal for partnership will be decided on at the meeting, although I myself see the benefit of maintaning friendly relations with your people and there allies, and hopefully me bretheren will feel the same.

KSC, I appreciate your support and defence, but we must be carefull. Do not speak for the entire alliance if it is your personal feelings.

The Federation Of Alethria is the reminits of the Empire of Lessr Tsurani Before the Stephian-Lithian Civil war. These where citizens who fled to Venus, to keep Tsurani Scocity alive. The Scocity fell after 5 years, and they created a new nation. They lost the Skill of Hyperspace, and now it can take up to 6 months to get a shipload from Venus to the Earth colonies. The Earth Colony is in the Atlantic. They can moved to and from Venus, but the Trip can take 6 months to 2 years, thus most people never bother, and the nation on earth has aproxamatly half the population.

[OOC: Not sure why you're responding out of character to an in character diplomatic statement... But thanks for the compliment!

Indeed it was half a page of nothing, but half a page of nothing filled with 'somethings'. That is commonly called 'diplomacy'. On the one hand, the ICEL representative was clearly stating that ICEL is and was not stating itself to be superior (although to be fair, it does 'outmass' the leading nation of this particular alliance), but was also clearly stating the reasoning behind the move, to ensure no misunderstanding. Meanwhile, ICEL was being careful not to commit to anything in particular; so although both those above statements were open, they were not 'set in stone'. The idea being: those who respect strength particuarly look and think, "Hm, they're strong." Those who respect humility look and think, "Hm, they're humble."

As was stated ICly, the point is not that a smaller country cannot lead an alliance fairly. The point is that a smaller country cannot lead an alliance well. If we look at things realistically, a smaller state is more easily swayed by larger ones - the smaller state would be likely to quickly become dependant on the larger states in the alliance, leading it to only react to the wants and desires of those states it depends on most, to the exclusion of those other 'peers'; the peers being the states on 'equal footing'.

Also, an alliance lead by a small state is not going to be so well respected as one lead either by a powerful state - or by all equally. Regardless of how Alexias leads with the Presidency, it can only be considered attempting to improve its own sphere of influence. This is because the alliance is specifically originally arranged with Alexias at its head.

Alexias is making a 'powerplay' by moving to form the alliance - or that is how any of the larger states would be likely to see it. That, in turn, is always likely to be met with disdain; powerful states always see themselves as powerful, and because of this, they often fail to see any value in smaller states attempting to consolidate their own powerbase. This is because they'd much rather see those smaller states rely on the stabilizing influence of the powerful ones, who often seek to draw large numbers of small states 'to their side'.

ICEL, therefore, is acting to consolidate its currently weakened position on the world stage. By aligning with a small core of nations, and giving their alliance Associated Power status, ICEL seeks to widen its sphere of influence by exploiting this alliance - albeit with benefits for the alliance as well, such as eventually thorough access to the ICEL economic market. Further, the alliance can, if ICEL succeeds (which is by no means certain) become associated wth ICEL in the minds of national leaders here there and everywhere. That has obvious benefits - in fact to both sides. Thus ICEL seeks a symbiotic relationship, albeit one with ICEL still in a stronger position - and one that benefits all of its allies.

On the other hand, the alliance gains greatly as well. The alliance could work the relationship to gain access to ICELs allies; these aren't numerous right now (some have ceased to exist due to inactivity, which is why I'm working right now on rebuilding the ICEL 'powerbase), but are liable to increase in the near future in number. Possibly! But the alliance gains economically; the ICEL economy is pretty massive, after all, and has links with other large, powerful economies. Thus ICEL can be a 'stepping stone' - just as the alliance can be. But neither side is going to come out and say that, now, are they?

The reason for the length of the communique is a simple one: time is important. By sending a long missive, this indicates that the issue is an important one. A fifteen word answer would hardly convey sincerity or suggest that this was an important matter, would it?

A last little bitty point: this was out of character. Therefore, it was not said in character. When talking IC, I'm not me. Therefore nothing is personal. When talking OOC, I am me. Hi! I'm me right now, but when I'm ICEL, I'm roleplaying... so not me. Because it's a role. ;)]

I was in favor of maintaining good relations with you and your crew before, but seeing as a couple simple small little points sent you into a tyrade of accusations and that you tried to destroy the alliance with your self serving propaganda, I'm not sure that everyone will want to do that as much as they did.

soooo..........from what I gather your saying that I am only looking out for me and that everyone should join you instead?

Thats what I got out of it.

I think you should respect the choices of these guys, and not start slandering me to get what you want, out of character no less.

Don't you think it is a bit unfair to further your In character goal things out of character? One could even say that that's, well, cheating, my friend.

I was in favor of maintaining good relations with you and your crew before, but seeing as a couple simple small little points sent you into a tyrade of accusations and that you tried to destroy the alliance with your self serving propaganda, I'm not sure that everyone will want to do that as much as they did.

Just a thought.

[OOC: o.O

Did you actually read what I said? No, I'm not using 'OOC propaganda' to further my own cause. What I'm doing is answering your post. Really, read my post properly, rather than skimming. I was talking about perceptions (which, to be fair, I did say!), not interpreting your actions.

And offering affiliation to an alliance is hardly an effort to destroy it. Nor did I make any accusations whatsoever...And for that matter, explaining to you people why my nation is doing what it is doing - essentially for its own gain! - is hardly self-serving. Cheating usually involves some sort of personal gain, no? Although the mere fact that you think that OOC statements could affect the way you RP with relation to my IC nation is somewhat worrying; why would it? As I said: OOC is OOC, IC is IC. The two are seperate, different. Totally different.

Now you've read this post, please go back and read again and make sure you didn't read what I said completely wrong. Again. Thanks. 'Cos I really don't want to clutter this thread with OOC chatter...]

you lie.

I did indeed read your post, and you accuse me of simply doing this too spread my power and influence.

You are most blatantly accusing me of exploitation in the process, and in addiction too that questioning my competence.

The personel benefit would be people reconsidering there membership for a "better" alliance such as yours, thus making you more influencial.

And, seeing as the above is true, you are indeed "propagating" your ideas and preferences, beliefs and loyalties(for IC that is) and such.

So, it is in fact "Propaganda" by definition. Propaganda does not neccesarily mean lies.

That is what it means.

Anyhow, let's not get into a big argument over it, that would be silly.

In fact, why do we not just stop filling this thread with OCC, no?



Anyhow, we should continue with IC, righ?



On a lighter note, I found my toothbrush.

The Federation will join, Info

The Federation Of Alethria is the reminits of the Empire of Lessr Tsurani Before the Stephian-Lithian Civil war. These where citizens who fled to Venus, to keep Tsurani Scocity alive. The Scocity fell after 5 years, and they created a new nation. They lost the Skill of Hyperspace, and now it can take up to 6 months to get a shipload from Venus to the Earth colonies. The Earth Colony is in the Atlantic. They can moved to and from Venus, but the Trip can take 6 months to 2 years, thus most people never bother, and the nation on earth has aproxamatly half the population.

OOC FYI, I am future modern. We have space travle, and a few more cures, but that about it. Think 2030 type tech, nothing more.

We are a powerful nation of almost 1 billion population. We are an empire ruled by Bhalk. We are on the far capitalist sides, actually one of the nations who helped spark the capitalist-communist trouble that has been arising. Our military gets the most funding, we've been trying to increase funding to our economy; but as of yet it hasn't worked.

We agree, for now, with this allianc'es ideals and will apply for an embassy if accepted.

The Armed Republic of Krioval would like to enter into the Unified Defence Frontier, as we believe that unity between nations is essential for progress. As we are a modest nation in size and military power, we further worry for the security of democracy and free expression in our lands. We formally submit our files (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=395359) for review. In the interests of full disclosure, Krioval has reached a higher level of technology than may be normally accepted by this alliance; we are willing to constrain the use of that technology to our borders, with other nations of similar technological advancement, and to events in which it does not directly affect the outcome. Further, we technically have a theocracy, of which I am the symbolic leader, but membership is voluntary, and all religious sites are offered free maintenance by the government. I eagerly await your response on this matter.

Deetag
12-02-2005, 15:26
I'm, interested.
The Colony of Deetag is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 32 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 19%. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Information Technology and Furniture Restoration.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, Deetag's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is a problem. Deetag's national animal is the mole rat and its currency is the pebbles.

Deetag is ranked 6th in the region and 83,723rd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).
