=== Message to the International Community ===
=== from the Royal Democratic Kingdom of ===
=== Tihland ===
O' leaders of the great nations of NationStates:

I, King Bobort, am requesting an alliance with anyone whosoever desires to correct the matter that the Third Reich of Guffingford has done with the AIDS vaccination given to that nation many weeks ago. Until now, the Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland would never even consider a fight with another nation; however, the dangers of Guffingford's actions cannot go unchecked, even if we did just recently build a giant bubble in our nation.

The Kingdom of Tihland has never done any military research. But before we do perform any military actions, we would definitely like to consider alternative means of correcting this mishap. In the meantime, the Kingdom of Tihland is now officially in the market for military devices. The Congress of Tihland passed a budget this morning for such a decision. Astonishingly, several Tihlandians have already signed up for a new military branch. They really do care.

Whatever the case, we need to make these decisions quickly and efficiently! We must show Guffingford that these actions are intolerable for all of humanity! I must say one last thing. There are several nations that sent Guffingford these AIDS vaccinations and whatnot without offering any conditions, while my nation offered helping the people of Guffingford only if Guffingford met my conditions. A couple nations even got angry with the fact that I set these conditions. I can only say: I TOLD YOU SO!

Our lives are at risk, my friends. We must act soon!

Yours royally,
King Bobort of Tihland

OOC: MT or FT?

Modern tech only. Reference: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=396849

OOC: Guffingford is a MT, so MT I assume.

@Tihland: You've NEVER done ANY military research or had an army? Ever. Then you'll lost horribly against Guffingford, and Im amazed you've kept your sovereignty this long.

OOC: Are you an island, landlocked nation or a continent? I assume you have a shoreline, correct me if I'm wrong.

Strategic Command, Amsterdam

"With all respect to the respected and honoured Overlord Leonard Ynsson I must object to your policy regarding Tihland."
"Oh, and why is that Mr Moorehouse?"
"In my opnion, Overlord, that we must show them we aren't the first nation that can be threatened. Our factfiles show us beyond doubt, and our intelligence confirms, that Tihland has no spendings on their military whatsoever."
"A sovereign nation without an army, is a nation without the right to exist."
"True Overlord Ynsson, but why, in your boundless wisdom, have you not decided to attack? The Führer, blessed be his divine position, has authorized you to decide whether to attack or not. Does this mean you are in doubt?"
"True, but Mr Moorehouse. There's no honour or glory in that nation. We have intercepted their plea for help to do something about our regime. Though I find it ridiculous, we should not take them seriously."
"Overlord Ynsson! How can you say that? God knows who they draw in! I say we must do what we must, to rid the world of their bad influence. I will take this matter to the Führer, if you do not follow the Grand Design."
"Aye, if you put it that way, there will be blood in Tihland. I shall order the WCC and NCC to be put on high alert."
"Is our presence in The Upper Congo going to shirk and our operation 'Carpe Diem'?"
"No, the latter is still in the stage where it can be cancelled. So far, the situation on both TUC and the South Chinese Sea remains status quo."
"Excellent."

*****

From the military harbors of the Cape Verde Islands, Faroe Islands and Greenland the WCC and NCC departed their homebase to the international waters near Tihland. A nation without an army, is a nation that asks to be part of The Reich. An empire always requires more, more land, more resources. The nation Tihland may lack a strong economy and a respectable army but... We cannot think of anything that might pose a threat to us. How on earth can those savages be a thread to the National Socialist troops? They can't. A total of merely two hundred ships was sailing towards Tihland, not even the full strength of the Imperial German navy, but it would surely make a statement. If they would not submit, then an invasion should persuade them to reconsider their threats directed at us.

The Empire of Xeraph would caution Guffingford. Just because a nation states that it hasn't any military, doesn't mean they are being truthful ( All strategy is based on deception - Sun Tzu).
The Emperor would be honored to deploy aerial recon over Tihland in support of Guffingford. Please let us know if that is OK with you.

regards,

Gen. Strickland, CMDR EX Forces

The Emperor sends his thanks. Respect is something to be earned. Perhaps Xeraph is on the road to earning Guffingford's.

IGN Dresden II - still miles from the Tihland shore.

From the flightdeck of the Dresden II the Harrier 2 fighters took off to for recoinassance missions on the Tihland shore. Reports of possible military resistance are nil, but the rumours of a pending invasion, weren't. Preperations, routine checks, military exercises and whatnot followed, checks, double checks everything was being made ready for the coming war. Without military action from the side of Tihland, resistance would be little to none. No matter what anyone would say, the Reichs Armee would not go in unarmed or untrained. Deception and propaganda are used by everyone, including democratic nations. Who knows what they have, so far nothing has been tracked by the extensive Reichs intelligence agencies and systems. CELLDAR was picking up nothing - yet. Silly democratic nations, you can never fully trust them.

OOC:
Oooo, I never considered the geography of my nation. Hmmm...I would say that it is a peninsula close in shape to that of Italy, but not boot-shaped. It's more spearhead-shaped.

Tihland is divided into two major regions--an inner region and an outer region. The inner region is entirely surrounded by a gigantic defensive bubble, pretty much the only defense the nation has. But no one or nothing is allowed to enter the bubble at all, with the exception of information that may travel through the internet and other electronic means. No person can enter. No animal can enter. However, they can leave should they decide to. They will not be allowed to re-enter, though. It's a major law in Tihland and taken very seriously. The royal palace is, of course, housed inside the dome.

My nation does not have a military because we have always put down all issues that ask for defensive funding. Fortunately, though, we have a 100% income tax rate and do what is good for humanity with that money. Since the loyal subjects make the decision where their tax money goes, they have decided, upon these recent developments, that it should go towards military applications. As I type this, Tihland is in a wartime economy mode. We are working effortlessly 24 hours a day to prepare ourselves for any possible pre-emptive actions.

Remember though, we have 4.018 billion people at the moment. That's about half a billion more than Guffingford.

IC:
King Bobort patiently awaits responses from the internation community while he sits on his throne. "What a sad day it is when the Kingdom of Tihland has to take part in pre-emptive actions. Guards! Summon Sir Kel! His service is deeply needed on this day!"

A few minutes later, the trumpets sound in a most glorious sound--the sound that signifies the arrival of the one and only Sir Kel. King Bobort hears the gallop of a stallion as Sir Kel goes to his throne.

"Presenting Sir Kel to His Majesty, King Bobort!" announces the guard.

"My King! You have summoned me! What is the problem? You look weary and troubled!" Sir Kel stated.

King Bobort began, "Sir Kel, you have done many good deeds for this Kingdom. And for that, I do very much thank you. You have been a part of the Royal Knight Police Force for several decades and have caught countless criminals to his majesty's throne. You are the most experienced at defending the loyal subjects to the throne, but now I must ask a great favor."

"Anything for you, my King. You know what is best for us," Sir Kel answered.

"Alright. As you know, Guffingford has been trying to make a new strain of AIDS. We must stop him. Actually, we have satellite footage of his fleet approaching the shores of Tihland. I must make you the commanding general of the new Tihlandian military. We shall work together to put down this menace. The induction ceremony will begin shortly. Are you ready?" King Bobort explained.

Sir Kel had no idea what to say. He was in shock and awe. Tihland had never had a military in its entire history. The closest thing to a military was the Royal Knight Police Force, which happened to be very aggressive in defending the safety of the people. But Sir Kel knew he was the right man for the job. The ceremony began soon, and Sir Kel was inducted as the commanding general of the Tihlandian military just under the King himself.

"I hereby name you General Sir Kel!" King Bobort exclaimed. The Tihlandian population of 4.018 billion all cheered at this induction!

OSS-1 scan providing nothing of substance with regards to military in Tihland.
A structure of a somewhat geodesic nature is present, composition possibly of composit plastic/Teflon with alloy supports. Structure is not explosive-proof.

Minimal defensive action at this time, although civilian population is forming ranks, presumably of a military nature.

No Tihlandian aircraft deployed.

No Tihlandian watercraft deployed.

What is apparently a state or national police force are preparing check-points and/or firebases. Number of forces: approx 2500.

Several Valkyries were ordered to fly over geodesic structure for hard info, but none to report. Jets ordered back to support escort.

Updates to follow.

OOC: Numbers don't matter anymore when nations hit the 3.5 billion mark. I'll start my pre-emptive strike now, okay? If you want me to list my forces, I'll make a seperatce OOC thread for it.

IC:
From the flightdeck and helipads the gunships and fighter/bombers took off, heading for the Tihland shore towns and villages. All of them were carrying regular air-to-surface missiles while the fighters carried standard air-to-air missiles all Macabee technology. The purpose of this mission was to clear all coastal structures of possible enemy activity before sending men in to secure strategic positions.

From the gundecks of the Aasimar Class battlecruisers the 25" guns began their barrage of gunfire on the Tihlandish shores, destroying all buildings while ship-to-surface missiles (MIRV) were fired at all coastal structures within range as well. The CELLDAR datafeed gave no information regarding any counter measures by the Tihlandish defence or a navy that would do something against the Imperial Kriegsmarine. No airforce, not even a militia has been sighted. This was going to be all too easy.

From Guffinford SC sent a whole B2 & B52 airwing to start long-range bombardments on urban areas. The airwings are heavily protected by F117's, JSF's and classified Macabee aircraft.

Mission objectives:
1) Demoralize & harass enemy
3) Taking down electricity

Weapons fired:
400 ship-to-surface missiles from Aasimar (specs will be given to you if you wish)
250 Thermite shells fired by Aasimar
110 missiles launched from fighter/bombers from carrier.

The Commonwealth of Seversky condems the actions of Guffingford and demand that they cease their dispicible actions imdeiately. The Commonwealth Navy has been ordered to a station near Tihland, and are prepared to interceed on their behalf. Consider this a last warning.

The Commonwealth of Seversky has also opened its stockpiles of weapons to Tihland, and offers them free of charge. The Charactoristics of these weapons shall be relayed later.

The first carriers to arrive will be the 25th Carrier Group, consisting of Europa and Praxidike of the Jovian class and their St. Lo class escorts Casablanca, Makassar Strait, Lunga Point, and Kasaan Bay. The 25th was some 50 nm off station when they recieved their orders. As it stands they will not engage in offencive action. As a further measure, the 38th and 12th Carrier groups have recieved orders to take up stations near Guffingford.

============= Public Message ==============
Attention citizens of the world:

If you have intelligence regarding the nation of Guffingford or its allies, Tihland offers money for it. If you have information concerning Tihland that you intend to give to Guffingford or its allies, we will purchase it for triple the amount they will purchase it for. If you give Guffingford or its allies any sensitive information concerning Tihland, you will be considered an enemy to Tihland and its allies. Should such a person step foot on Tihlandian soil, such a person should not expect to see the light of day again.

Yours royally,
King Bobort

=======================================
O great leader of Guffingford,

I request your departure from Tihlandian soil immediately. Your actions are uncalled for. Tihland has done nothing to your nation or its citizens. Nor do we have any desire to do anything to your nation or its citizens.

Yours royally,
King Bobort

===== Private Correspondence to Seversky ======
=======================================
Hail thee leader of the Commonwealth!

We wholeheartedly appreciate your aid in this war! Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! Your actions will not go unrewarded, I assure you! We will accept your offer of weapons; however, we fear that there is little time for the training necessary and transportation to start using them. Please do not hesitate to use them on your own at your own time. You are granted access to air, sea, and land in all of Tihland for use in this battle.

However, I believe we should develop plans before becoming a threat to Guffingford. The first set of our small, fast navy ships are being deployed in our harbors now. I have faith in my loyal subjects that they will know what to do in that battle. Our newly developed non-lethal guns (what a treachorous word!) are being distributed to our military personnel as well. Though we are working on airplane construction, we feel that our air force will be relatively weak at this point in the battle.

Though I am forbidden to leave the great bubble of Tihland, I would greatly appreciate continued correspondence through electronic mail.

Yours royally,
King Bobort
==================================
Meanwhile, out in the harbors:

New small, fast navy ships are being deployed to the areas of attack. All civilian water craft has been confiscated for use in future naval battles. Those Tihlandian craft in a 200 mile radius of the first attack are moving towards the threatening boats. A total of 1,000 civilian and about 12 military naval craft approach the enemy from all sides. All craft have military personnel on them. The ships move swiftly to the battle cruisers. Many are destroyed, but a few make it on board. Some primitive bombs are planted on some enemy vessels, but the enemy soldiers seem to dive off and go to another ship as they sink. All in all, the entire Tihlandian force is destroyed, but Guffingford did have quite a few structural casualties in the process.

OOC: I should describe the dome a little better. It is covered by farm land. Though you can look at it and tell that something man made is under all that farm land. The reason for the farm land: we have 4 billion mouths to feed, of course. It is not visible from the outside what is going on inside.

Armed with the latest recon info concerning the Tihland situation, the Emperor made his decision. " Gentlemen, I want the 22nd and 54th Carrier Battle Groups to anchor off the Tihlandian coast, say, 100 miles out. They are not to engage any hostiles, but if fired upon, they will defend themselves.
They are there in the official capacity to monitor the situation, and report back to Naval HQ. Any questions?"


Ensign LeBlanc sent the message to Captains Boyle and Shearer. They immediately made preparation to deploy to the waters off Tihland. The CBG's that the Emperor chose were the first Xeraphian Battle Groups to include BattleCarriers.

Both the 22nd and the 54th CBG were comprised of:

1 WarHammer Class BattleCarrier w/full complement of 82 FA/18 Hornets and 3 Apache HCGS.

1 JFK Class Carrier w/ full complement of 60 FA/18 Hornets.

1 Vulcan Class Carrier w/full compliment of 62 A/16 Typhoons.

2 Broadside Class Battleships.

2 Tikinhy Class Destroyers.

3 Cossack Class Missile Ships.

2 Oscar Class Subs.

Various support Vessals: 1 EX/17 Xeraph Class Hospital Ship.
16 EX/89 Katana Class Patrol Boats.


Total: 29 Royal Xeraphian Naval Vessals, 408 Royal Xeraphian Airforce fighters, 6 HCGS.

In addition, 12 Python Bombers and 12 Vampire Bombers are at full alert at bases within the Xeraphian Empire, ETA 2.25 hours to target. To be escorted and defended by Xa/22 Copperheads.

"Damage reports."
"Light damage near the stern, not much else."
"Ah, the great German armour has held strong. How on earth can those foolish democrats last?"

From the Aasimar class battlecruisers more missiles were launched at Tihlandish positions more inland, policestations and other vital structures. From Guffingford four hundred C-141 transport airplanes departed to Tihland all carrying paratroopers (250). The beach has been wiped clean of Tihlandish presence (and so were all the nearby towns) so the invasion could begin.

The B2's and B52's dropped an insane amounts of the BLU 114b (graphite; to destroy one's electrical network) and BLU 82b (most destructive non-nuclear bomb) on Tihlandish cities.

Missiles fired from Aasimar: 100 directed at civillian targets
Non-lethal Bombs dropped (graphite): 50 on various powerstations
Lethal bombs dropped (82b): 50 on civillian targets.

OOC: Seversky you can't get near Guffingford. The only sea access is through the North Sea but you have to pass the Shetlands (British territory), Faroe Islands (mine) before you even get near me. Rather hard to get near when two mighty navies will stop you before you even reach my mainland. Kinda noble you want to help Tihland but stay realistic.

The Empire of Dumpsterdam CONDEMS Guffingford for its actions and will dispatch two fleets of the Grand Armada on patrol in the Atlantic to Tihland at once. Guffingford will yield before the might of the Empire or be forced down on its knees by the Royal Navy.

O' evil leader of Guffingford,

The Congress of Tihland announced this morning that all civilians outside the great bubble of Tihland are to report inside. This is a startling and most humbling development, for no one is allowed to go inside the bubble. Only those that were inside the bubble when it was built could be inside the bubble!

What do you want from the Kingdom of Tihland? We have nothing good here for you.

We pray that you have mercy upon this nation. What do you have against democratic nations anyway?

O' leaders of the great nations of NationStates,
If you intend to help Tihland in this conflict, you have permission to land on Tihlandian soil. Do not wait for my confimation. If you are attacking Tihland, you do not have permission to land on Tihlandian soil.

Yours royally,
King Bobort of Tihland
=====================================
=== Private Correspondence to Dumpsterdam ===
=====================================
Hail thee leader of Dumpsterdam!

You have permission granted to land on Tihlandian soil immediately to defend us! Our people in the Outer Region have been ordered to come in to the Inner Region, a most startling development! There's hardly anything protecting us from their continued advance toward the bubble! Please come as quickly as possible!

Yours royally,
King Bobort of Tihland
=====================================
Meanwhile, back at Sir Kel's headquarters (in the bubble):

"I cannot believe the damage they have inflicted! What heartless souls they are!" Sir Kel exclaimed. "Well, I'm glad the Congress of Tihland ordered the evacuation of the Outer Region. It'll give us some time to continue building up our military supplies. In the meantime, this is what I want our incredibly intelligent youth to do...."

Sir Kel explained the plan to the commanders to implement the plan immediately. One commander stated, "That's so crazy, it just might work!"

"I only hope it does!" Sir Kel exclaimed in a sorrowful tone.

The Tyranical Regime of Death Rain pledges its full support of Tihland.

As an advance shipment, we send Tihland and her allies a shipment of 100 tons of steel, and 100 tons of Uranium. Do with them as you will.

If need be we will deploy troops in due time.

We hope to see this conflict resolved as quickly as possible.

OOC: You know bubbles aren't immune to bombers and rocket launchers.

IC:
Imperial German Vessel flagship Xerxes

"Sir, all their civillians are pulling back to some kind of big blob."
"Move in all troops, this will be fun."

From Guffingford thousands and thousands of men were transported to Tihland - with all the possible militia gone, all resistance was gone as well. Paratroopers landed on Tihlandish soil more and more. Everything was going according to a tight schedule; no time was wasted. From transport ships to Chinooks to Hercules aircraft, more men and equipment were sent to Tihland. When there are roughly seven hundred thousand men in the field (including logistics) a first assault on the bubble will begin.

The Kampfgruppe 10 to 400 are advancing rapidly through the abandoned lands, looting homes, killing people left behind, and sewing the fields with salt."None shall escape" is the motto of the Sturmgruppe and Geschützgruppe who have been ordered to bombard the bubble with X777 155mm field howitzers, rocket artillery, tanks and heavy mortars. The troop treshold has been reached and the attack was about to begin. From the beachhead all men marched forwards (foot cavalry and kampfgruppen are already at the target; they do not have artillery support, only logistical vehicles) and once everything has been set up, the pounding of shells, missiles, rockets, artillery and mortars began. From the Firestorm class arsenal ships, penetration missiles were launched - uranium tipped to maximize the effect. From the sky bunkerbusters were dropped, carpet bombs, cluster bombers and much more. This lasted a full week where cargo trucks drove in and out of the occupied harbours sending more ammunition to the engines of destruction.

OOC: The Germans attacked a Belgian fort in WW1 with 40 million grenades in one week, I suppose this is roughly the same number.

OOC: I am aware that bubbles can be broken.
IC:

=== Public Correspondence to Death Rain ===
O' Great Leader of Death Rain and all other nations that wish to help,

We need troops! Lots and lots of troops! We need YOU to kill these enemies. Tihland is not trained well in military applications! We are absolutely running out of time! Do something already!

Yours royally,
King Bobort
==================================

During the week, while Guffingford forces were reinforcing themselves:
"How is the youth project coming, commander?" Sir Kel asked.

The Commander replied, "Everything is going on schedule. We got some uranium and steel to even aid in the matter. Ah...I remember the days when we had a strong uranium mining industry. I do hope the King has learned his lesson from this battle."

Sir Kel replied, "I'm sure he has. But this is not the time to reminisce. The enemy is advancing rapidly, and the damage to the bubble is growing far too great. We have 1 billion soldiers ready to destroy the enemy. Give the orders to begin the advancement, and the beginning advancement of Project Youth."

"Yes, Sir Kel!" the commander saluted and announced the order to his subordinates.

The Youth Project
All Tihlandian households were required by law to have a simple, dumb robot that usually just cleaned the floors. Sir Kel ordered the recruit of these robots for military use. The youth of each household were asked to make them shoot projectiles (including bullets), whack an axe back and forth, or light things on fire. There are about 1 billion households inside the bubble, and because some households had more than one robot, including the royal palace, the total number of robot recruits adds to about 1.1 billion. These little fellas, which just run to and fro mindlessly, were released from the giant bubble. The human soldiers and other military devices (such as artillery) were right behind them.

The Assault
As the battery powered robots made their way on the field, many were destroyed. However, many of the Guffingford soldiers were also destroyed. Tihlandian artillery destroyed several cargo trucks, and the Tihlandian soldiers in the back of the line were placing land mines behind them. The Guffingford bombers killed many Tihlandian soldiers, but the first Tihlandian surface-to-air missiles went online near the bubble. Several airplanes were destroyed by these. All in all, this battle was a major victory for the Tihlandian forces. Unfortunately, all the robot fellas were destroyed or stopped working, and hundreds of millions of Tihlandian soldiers were killed.

Tihlandian forces retreated back to the bubble, being sure to avoid the land mines that they had placed around it.

Upon entering the bubble, one soldier pondered, "Is it over yet?..."

<secret>
"Right, so what the hell are our orders again?"
"I told you, top command wants us to paint over our national markings, and then to lob a nuclear bomb at any cluster of ships belonging to Guffingford that we choose."
"Not a missile?"
"Not a missile. We've been given a 40 MT free fall bomb."
"Free fall? Are you kidding me?"
"Well, it has wings."
"What?"
"Its a guided toss bomb. It has no power, and just little wings and fins. The thing goes up, and when it reaches the top of its arc, it scans for IF/F transmitters and IFR. Then it goes into the middle of the largest group of IFR emissions that arent blipping our IF/F."
"Right, but I still have 2 questions."
"Which are?"
"1) why us?"
"Because top command doesnt like us."
"Ah, and 2) doesnt top command know by now that we don't have national emblems? We're fricking pirate opps, we already pretend not to be Severskian."
"Because top command doesnt like us."
"Oh, ok. As long as there's a perfectly logical answer."
"Right, lets go."


With that said, the two pilots straped into their grey Victor B-56K-TF200 to begin the flight out. The aircraft was painted completely gun ship grey, with no markings what-so-ever. They refueled once along the way from a Constellation (AKA Airbus A319K), afterwhich they hit the deck and stayed there.

</secret>

At a predetermined point, they opened the bomb doors and ripped back on the yokes. At almost vertical, they released their bomb, and sent it flying the 75 miles to the Guffingford ships, and the untold chaos it would cause.

Returning to the deck after their little flip, the Victor and its crew flew another 25 miles before ditching. Within 15 minutes, they were aboard the raider Divine Intervention, which proceeded with its escorts to make for an undetermined destination at a speed of 35 kts.

=== Live public broadcast on all Tihlandian televisions ===
King Bobort stands at his balcony at the Royal Palace of Tihland. He squints as tiny rays of sunlight enter through the holes in the damaged bubble. "Hmm...I have forgotten what sunlight looks like..." he thought. He cleared his throat and began his speech.

"My fellow Tihlandians! We have decisions to make! We are at war right now, and I cannot tell you when it will be over. All I can do is hope and pray that your lives be spared by the hateful people of Guffingford. Let us be thankful that they have not tested their new strains of AIDS. Our medical team is most assuredly developing as many medicines as possible to help protect you and me. Our new military is working ever so diligently, and for that, I most assuredly applaud them. But we must all participate in this war if we are to succeed!

Right now, we have claimed a small victory, but at the cost of many millions of your friends and loved ones. I admit this with such sorrowful regret! I have failed you as a King! I will do as much as I can now to correct this most heinous error. When this war is over, do with me what you will. But we must decide if we are to have a permanent military to continue defending ourselves and to maybe someday enforce our principles and ethics onto other nations.

We have a temporary time to get ourselves together, and our General Sir Kel is doing what he can to correct the situation in the proper way. I have faith that he will succeed. Let us applaud our youth for building the robots that so very much helped in our victory. We couldn't have done it without them!

We must also applaud the few nations of the world that have offered their aid. I hope that they succeed in their endeavors against the enemy. We will no longer be in contact with our allies after this broadcast as we must reserve our power and electronic equipment for our own military organization. We suffered such a blow to our military, that it was quite a necessary thing to do. If any of our allies are watching this broadcast through some unknown link to us, we hope that you understand our dilemma. Your help is greatly appreciated, and we will most assuredly reward you for your efforts upon your success.

And with that, fellow Tihlandians, I must go into my quarters and prepare for what will hopefully be our final successful battle in this atrocious war."

The Tihlandians present at the speech, and those watching at home on the televisions, stood up and applauded the King on his speech. Some were so filled with loyalty that they wept. A new sense of vigor filled the people.

However, King Bobort looked at these actions in a somewhat negative way. He thought, "I can only hope that the results of this war do not go to their heads..."

OOC: Severky, one bomb means it will ge shot from the sky right? IC post coming later.

OOC: Severky, one bomb means it will ge shot from the sky right? IC post coming later.Its virtually impossible to detect something the size of a 55 gallon barrel and made out of RAM that is hurttling through the air at something like Mach 1.

That, and shooting it just makes it blow up.

OOC: I'm not using prehistoric sonar systems, Aasimar class battlecruisers are equipped with two railguns. We are perfectly capable of shooting down such objects. Aren't you the Seversky who declared his totally absurd naval policies and doing nothing with it? Oh and by the way, I'm not playing with nuclear stuff unless you contact me beforehand.

IC:
Near Tihland some lunatic battlerobots did some damage, but after a barrage of graphite all their electrical circuits became molten plastic and metal. Not much happened to the soldiers of the Glorious Reich, since they know what to do in the field. The extremely experienced Foot Cavalry took the underage soldiers out with only a minimum of gunfire; they walked right in the muzzle of the MG42b's which shred them to pieces. A mere two thousand men died in this pretty weak attempt to force a breakthrough, all of their robots have been destroyed by constant bombardments of graphite while the gunfire killed and destroyed all of their artillery and men before they even had the slightest chance of getting away to take cover.

Operation 'Skyknight'

From Chinooks and other gunships special forces dropped hoses onto the highest point of the bubble - the most heavily bombarded part where the holes are. The hoses were hung inside the bubble while the remaining openings were sealed by foam or welded shut. The same pretty unusal procedure happened to other damages points to rule out the possibility of air escaping. The hoses were thrown down to massive mobile pumping stations and gasbarrels were unloaded by trucks and helicopters on the hour - all filled with Sarin nerve gas. There would be no escape, one needle point of it is deadly for a human. In some other breached entries the same hoses were installed connected to the same pumping system, but these were blowing large amounts of graphite into the bubble.

No escape. No survivors.

Official Message from the Commonwealth of Pheanix

Since the Commonwealth is always looking for new nation to call friends and allies it shall throw its support behind Guffingford. Although some may say its actions are rather imperialistic, we see them as a way to assert their power in the world, as any sovereign nation would do. Right now we are preparing a quick response force to help out the Guffingford forces already attacking the island of Tihland. Two Carrier Battle Groups and a Sub Pack has been dispatch to aid the Guffingfors naval forces, they are to be positioned about 60 miles away from the island for now.

Signed,
Erick, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Pheanix


Encrypted Message to Guffingford

Although we know you don’t need our help to crush the people of Tihland, we are offering it as a measure of goodwill, besides our forces need the exercise. The naval assets we have deployed should be in place in about five hours and the ground troops by the end of the week that is if you accept our help. By the way my intelligence services tells me that it would be better to send a few Special Ops Squads to infiltrate that bubble and kill the king to end this war sooner, just a thought.

After the King's speech was finished. He looked up at the holes where the sunlight was coming through hoping to take one last glimpse before his departure into the shadows. But just as he looked up, he saw the holes being covered.

"Everyone!" King Bobort shouted. "DESTROY THIS BUBBLE AS QUICKLY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN! If we die, we will die by the hands of men! Never by some cowardly use of gas." Some of his subjects looked up to where he was looking, and some of them paniced. Everyone started running towards the bubble and took every possible tool they could to destroy it and take it apart. "I knew this bubble was a dumb idea..." one subject thought.

Looking at the murder occurring all around him as the Guffingford troops took the lives of innocent civilians, King Bobort was brokenhearted.

=== Public Message to Guffingford ===
O' leader of Guffingford,

Have mercy upon us! Please! The Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland offers its unconditional surrender. Our foolish allies did not help in time. Please, I beg of you, spare our lives!

Yours royally,
King Bobort of Broken Tihland
=============================

Official government response
We apologize for the mass murder, but it was YOU who prompted us to use these measures by creating a coalition to destroy us. We hold the right to create whatever we desire, and nobody shall tell us what to do. You had your chance. You've wasted your lives, therefore we shall take it from you. Or you will surrender and let us form a government, accept all clauses in the peace-treaty we present you. We do not expect you to object. You will know what happen.

1) We want your King Bobart alive
2) You must accept a National Socialist government
3) Democracy must be denounced.
4) A pact of sovereignity is signed, to ensure your borders are safe from invasion by "liberators".
5) You must form an army led by German officers.
6) State religion will be Enlighted Christianity.
7) We may build a military base in your nation we seek sit. Size and location are not to be determined by your administration.
8) Government officials will be appointed by the Imperial German administration.

From shall holes people were gasping for fresh air, but alas. Whenever someone showed his head near one of the gaps, they received a load of buckshot in the face and Chemikalien Kommando used the small holes to connect new hoses to the (100) pumping stations filling the bubble with the lethal gas. After hours of the dull chugging sound, the pumping stations came to a halt and the Tihlandish response to the "peace" treaty was awaited.

OOC: Can you give me the exact numbers of citizens and soldiers I killed?

OOC: Please do not even consider executing King Bobort.

I have determined the following deaths:
800 million soldiers
400 million civilians
A total of 1.2 billion people were destroyed by the Guffingford forces.

Are these acceptable numbers?

=== Public Message to Guffingford ===
==============================
O' mighty leader of Guffingford,

Your terms are, of course, accepted. However, I feel it the duty to inform you of some helpful information in this transition phase.

As an individual, I am a Christian. It was always the right of our people to be able to choose their religion, if any. Please help my subjects in this transition with an understanding, Christian heart. I do not know what you mean by "Enlighted" Christianity, but I am sure you will begin educating the populace immediately on that matter.

I must point out, though, that we never actually had a coalition. You came to our shores when we had no allies. Our goal was not to destroy you, anyway. It was to instate a more righteous form of government and to defend ourselves and other nations from the use of your AIDS virus on innocent people. I do not feel it was ever in God's plan to create devices with the sole purpose of destruction. Why do you think we never had a military to begin with?

I encourage you to let us maintain our current educational system. We are an incredibly bright populace, and I'm sure that would come in handy in helping you create even more heinous devices.

I believe it is also clear that we would like permission to remove the great bubble. Its purpose was perverted.

I shall announce the terms of the treaty to my people immediately. I will then go with whichever commanding officer you would like me to go with.

Yours royally,
King Bobort
===============================

The Announcement
"My fellow Tihlandians!" King Bobort exclaimed. "We have surrendered to the forces of Guffingford. We are the Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland no more. Per the conditions of the peace treaty, we must do the following:

1) I have to leave you, my friends. I do not know what the future holds for me, but I am sure it is dim. The leaders of Guffingford wish to have me alive. My last request to you is to follow the orders they give you. Surely, peace and happiness will follow.

2) We are no longer a Royal Democratic Kingdom. We are to henceforth be called the National Socialist State of Tihland. With this new title comes a new form of government, one that you are not used to. Please pay attention to the German commanding officers as they no doubt have little patience in the matter.

3) As such, we are to denounce Democracy. So I will do it now, and you can chant with me. Down with Democracy! Down with Democracy! Down with Democracy!

4) Guffingford has sovereignty over us now. Just follow the orders given you and you will be safe, I assume. However, we will be protected from foreign invasions now.

5) Though I will be gone, I'm sure our General Sir Kel will be allowed to continue being in a new required military. Of course, German officers will now be in command. I am not aware of the specifics of it, but I'm sure it will be okay.

6) This state now has an official religion called Enlighted Christianity. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure you will be educated about it soon enough. Please accept this religion for your own safety.

7) A Guffingford military base will be built somewhere on their choosing.

8) As this is no longer a Democratic nation, government officials will be appointed by the Imperial German administration.

I have also asked for permission of the removal of the bubble from the Guffingford administration since its purpose was perverted. I hope that they allow for it.

I encourage everyone to follow these rules appropriately. I will try to keep tabs on what is going on here while I'm away. May this not be the last time you see me!"

King Bobort humbly bowed before his loyal subjects, for they would no longer be his loyal subjects. He was sorrowful from fear of the future. He did not know the history of Guffingford or of its policies, but he hoped that whatever happened, peace and happiness would reign the Day.

He turned around as the Guffingford commanding officers took him by his arms and escorted him out of the royal palace and eventually outside of the great bubble. "Yuck. The smell of rotting corpses..." and with that thought he wept all the way to his destination.

The citizens of Tihland were dumbfounded at this development, but they knew it had to be done. They patiently awaited further orders from Guffingford.

From: Gen. Strickland
To: All Xeraphian Units

It is apparent that Guffingford has the situation well under control. We will remain in Tihlandian water for another 24 hours. All aircraft are to return to their respective bases.
This will be subject to change if Guffingford requests Xeraph's help.

(...)OOC: I won't. I'll send him into exile where he cannot cause any grief. Numbers look fine. :)

Official government communiqué
Since it appears to us your nation is already Christian, we will not actively force Enlighted Christianity on your people. Secondly, we must compliment you on your quick reaction to our treaty, we shall rebuild your nation and restructure your economy in return. You have permission to restructure your nation's argriculture, infrastructure, information networks, housing or any other non-military building as you desire. It is indeed a glorious day for your nation, you have liberated yourself from oppressive democratic regime, you have done well. You shall be rewarded. We have taken much, but we shall give you much in return.
1) You can benefit from the free market principles in the German Empire, your economy and your products are allowed to enter our national market.
2) You shall enjoy protection of the Imperial German force in your nation. If anyone dares to liberate you we will defend you.
3) King Bobart will be sent to the Holy Panooly archipelago. You have my personal guarantee he will not be harmed in any way.
4) General Sir Kel is officially in charge of the Tihlandish army, but his actions must be approved by the German supervisors.
5) We shall not inflict damage to the social life of citizens. Their habits, their nation under our control.
6) We will build naval yards and some inland bases, and one major radar station where the bubble once stood. Our soldiers will NOT cause any more trouble, you have my personal guarantee.

These rules will be put into action at once, right as I write this message. You may persue all policies you had during the pre-war era, bust you must redirect money from one or more sources to defence annually.

- Adolph Leighmar, Führer of National Socialist Guffingford

Public announcement from Stonewall Jackson, vice-Führer of Tihland

"Men, women and children of Tihland fear not the German presence in your domain. Adolph Leighmar has put me in charge of handling the Tihlandish affairs for the time being and trust me, nothing will happen to you. Continue to work on the fields, do not cease your work in the factories - the economy and thus your nation, asks you do so in these times of need. I will be organizing a new coalition government with the NSLP (National Socialist Labour Party) at the head of it. Tihlandish citizens may choose their representatives from the German parties."

King Bobort before being sent to the archipelago in an angry tone:

You will not get away this! Your intrusion on freedoms, liberties, and democracies will not go unchecked! I assure you! Whatever the case, I am glad to hear that you will protect my people before my return.

An dem Vereinigtenreich von Guffingford,

Als ein demokratisches und friedenliches Land ist die Tiberstadt total emport ueber ihren Krieg gegen Thiland. Nach dazu, setzten wirs uns gegen alle, die der NS-Vergangenheit als Nichtigkeit haelt. Millionen von Menschen sind gestorben wahrend der Nazi-zeit. Wir sollen den Terror nie vergessen, und auch nicht als ein 'lustiges' oder 'lassiges' Thema gehandlet werden.

Also, um die Arroganz, Ignoranz, und Dummheiten zu ende zu bringen, machen wir folgendes klar:

Die Tiberstadt hat heute Soldaten geschicht, um Koenig Bobort abzuholen.

Der Koenig ist bald wieder in Thiland.

Unsere Luftwaffe hat Rustungen an der Bewolkerung Thilands geliefert, um ein Befreiungskrieg moeglich zu machen.

Die einheimische Kaempfer haben das Besatzungsheer im Norden des Landes brutal niedergeschlagen.

Das Krieg wird nicht lange daueren, wir raten euch ihre Soldaten so bald wie moeglich aus dem Land zu bringen.

Nun, hoffen wir dass diese Bloedheit am ende ist.... Koenig Bobort wird bald wieder Koenig, ihr wird warscheinlich dumm bleiben. Weitere mitspielen und manipulation der NS-Vergangigheit ist unerwunscht. Amerikanische Kinder wie du wissen gar nichts ueber Deutschland, die NS-zeitperiode, oder die moderne deutsche Gesellschaft.

Since you love to play the Germans, I hope you can read this.

Falls jemand der deutsch spricht deise Mitteilung liest, entschuldigung fuer die Gramatikfehler.

[OOC: Some of that is either spelt wrong or gramitically wrong. But I got the gist of it during the free translation.]

Honestly, I didn't even attempt to use Umlauts, which may be part of the problem.

oh, and there are two 'M's in grammatically.

OOC:
======== Letter to all users and nations of NationStates =========

After careful consideration of the information brought forth by our great ally, Tiber City, we must agree of the accusations thus made. As such, the Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland will not recognize any further those nations that pretend to be Nazi-ish. We all know the devastations brought forth by the Nazis found in real history. The fact that some people do honestly believe the Nazis were just or innocent sends chills down my spine. Let us not forget the millions of people that died during their reign of terror.

The Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland is back to normal as if the war never happened. Since I refuse to acknowledge these nations any further, any pre-emptive strikes on these nations are hereby called off. They do not exist in NationStates as far as I am concerned.

My most humble apologies go to those nations and users of NationStates that share this same view that I ignored during this roleplay. Nazi-ism is wrong--there's no question about it. We should all be mature enough to understand this fact and, if we desire to play the bad guy, choose an alternative bad guy government.

Most Apologetically,
The Creator of King Bobort and the Royal Democratic Kingdom of Tihland
======================================================

OOC: I'm playing to be some kind of mad nazi-hybrid nation, I'm not a real nazi in real life, thank God. You can ask any nation associated with me, they will gladly confirm what I say.

OOC:
======================
Okay, after some behind the scenes action, I will now re-recognize the war and all the actions that happened. For those that are keeping up with the developments between Guffingford and Tihland, expect some new and interesting events.
=======================

All soldiers have been pulled back to Guffingford after recent talks between our governments. All penalties have been lifted and King Bobart will return home. This is a public announcement. We hope Tihland has learned from this mistake, we will not hesitate to set another example if needed.

This is an automated messaged, where telling you this so we don't have answer to your replies.

The Empire wishes to extend its apolagies to Tihland for not delivering the promised said naval, land and air forces.

Due to a key-code mixup with our military's AI you where sent a one man plastic craft complete with MG 22 machine gun and gunner instead of the two battle-carrier taskforces.

We also wish to extend our apolagies to former Holy Panooly*, for sending a massive naval invasion force instead of a one man plastic craft complete with MG 22 machine gun and gunner to invade them. We also wish to apolagize for laying waste to their capital, countryside, raping their women, killing their cows and numerous other things I can't name right now.
