OOC: Lapincuta is a sea strait of almost equal importance to the Panama Canal or Gribraltar through the pacific. If you don't go through you have to take an 5000 mile detour. People recognize sea straits in earths, why not recognize this one? As HP I roleplayed the importance of it, and piracy on it.

Official Statement from the National Republic of Guffingford

"World citizens, I am deeply disturbed with all the disregard and disrepect shown to each other lately. I am also worried about the recent actions from Dumpsterdam, Communist Louisiana and Hataria who have extended their national waters several hundred miles. Normally we don't care, but now, in light of the recent developments we do. Therefore I have ordered the ninth fleet under the watchful eyes of Commander Blouff to block the Sea Strait of Lapincuta until further notice. Allied ships will be allowed through, as well as all vessels who are associated with Guffingford in the coalition to protect the nation of Feline Catfish from invasion by warmongering lunatics. The straits are blocked, without any chance of diplomatic talks possibe to the nations of Communist Louisiana, Brydog and Risban. Should they tread into Imperial Armies domestic waters, than they shall be destroyed. You have my word on it. Now, to all the nations who don't understand what I said in the past and what I say now because they have the mental abilities of a ten year old:

Do not try to push your luck. Luck tends to run out for those outnumbered. You will not attempt to break the blockade, for we will break you. We are doing this to prevent several fronts merging together, do not tempt me to take more drastic measures to enforce this new policy. Furthermore, Guffingford extend its national waters an extra 50 miles on RADAR and CELLDAR, to keep track of suspicious ships.

With that out of the way, I hope that nobody is dumb enough to turn this minor incident in a major war. We have the weapons, we have the power. Do not take your emotions to the level of a nuclear holocaust.

- Johan Gleighmont, President of the National Republic of Guffingford.

Stevid has been informed of the current situation by Guffingford and intends to send a large Frigate and Destroyer Force consisting of Duke Class, Kingley Class and Norway Class Frigates and Sheffeild, Manchester, Nottingham and Dauntless Class Destroyers to inforce the blockade.

Twelve Sunderland Class Cruisers and three Kingley Frigates have been dispatched from a friendly Guffingfordii naval port and joined the blockade upon formation.

The Admiralty also regretts to inform the international community that a civilian airliner has been shot down by HMS Devon (Tye-45 Dauntless Class). The airliner did not respond to hails and was informed by Guffingfordii and Stevid Air Defence that no aircarft without clearance could pass the blockade. Two SAM missiles were fired and the airliner was shot down with no survivers.

Let this be a warning to all foreign shipping that the blockade will not tolerate being ignored and any tresspassers will be fired apon.

That is all.

Signed
Stevid Admiralty

Official Response

The National Republic of Guffingford supports Stevid in his swift decision to take down the airliner. The aircraft crashed into the sea and there are no survivors. The identity of the airliner is unknown to us, and we would like to know who owned this airplane.
