Incomming transmission from the Dominion News Network:
...
...
"Rebel insurgents in the countryside around Imperial City have taken control of several villages and towns in that area. The rebel group is believed to be the militant wing of the radical 'People's Liberation Party', which was recently out-lawed under the 'No Communist Left Alive Act'. The PLP has been operating in neighboring countries, and is considered a terrorist organization by the Conservative Union.
Government forces have began a massive retaliation operation in the area, including use of the recently aquired MIG-21 fighters. Several hundred communists have been killed already, and many more taken into custody. Government casualties are estimated at 12 killed, 30 wounded. May the Glorious armies of the Dominion crush the pathetic communist rebels.
In response to this incident, Emperor Baedor has decreed 'every communist will be erradicated' in the Dominion and 'let every nation supporting communism know: we will soon bring our policy of communist erradication beyond our borders again. Until then, be warned.'

Rammsteinburg is unhappy to hear of the violent events in The Conservative Union, and we must inform you that we condemn the outlawing of political groups. We urge you the CU to repeal the "No Communist Left Alive Act" immediately.
Rammsteinburg will not send military assistance to either side, but we are willing to help seek a peaceful end to this conflict.

The Imperial Seal Federation offers it's condolences to those citizens of The Conservative Union who have been affected, but reminds the government that the "No Communist Left Alive" Act may have been the cause of this terrorist tactic.
Therefore, the government advises The Conservative Union to repeal the act, or it will receive no sympathy from the Imperial Seal Federation.
Arfus Sealous: Emperor of Joseph Seal
OOC: Where does it say that the Communists used terrorism? TCU has declared them terrorists but all they have done is revolted, which is not a terrorist tactic.

Official Imperial Communique-
Sender: Lord Varus Tiberius Alexei
To: Emperor Baedor
The Empire is willing to lend her full verbal support to your cause, though we caution you to the fact that the high profile nature of your campaign will likely bring a high degree of international backlash down upon you. However, this aside, we of the Generian Imperial Government, noting your other recent projects benefitting education and working to defeat poverty, have decided that your nation's continued existence and survival are in the best interests of the Empire as a guiding light for like minded anti-communist idealists.
We are willing to aid you in your fight against Marxist terrorism through contributions of varying nature, first among them monetary donation, and to a lesser degree the deployment of Imperial special forces teams to your nation, particularly those skilled in the areas of counter insurgency to aid your army explicitly and through behind the scenes operational training and coordination. Should you refuse our aid, we will understand, however we will have it be known that the Empire will be far less likely to sympathize with your national policies in the future. Acceptance will mean the transfer of an initial sum of 4 billion USD to CU accounts via secure wires, and possible military deployments in the future.

Chief Advisor to Emperor Antonius the Magnificent

A Recent Press Release from the Community of Bela Telax's Committee on Foreign Affairs:
"In continuing the observation of The Conservative Union's treatment of communists and in light of current activities in The Conservative Union's domain, the Community of Bela Telax is again concerned for all civilians within The Conservative Union's borders. Asylum for all residents, within the Conservative Union's borders, that feel their civil rights are endanger by the actions of said government shall be granted for the reminder of the "Leave No Communist Alive Act." In addition, the Community of Bela Telax sees this act as a form of government permitted 'view-point-acide,' and will be seeking to place harsh trade sanctions against The Conservative Union. But keeping with Bela Telax's tradition of remaining militarily neutral, it will not seek any action of war."

"Bela Telax officials will continue to monitor the situation in The Conservative Union and, if necessary, will bring up the issue in the next UN meeting."

The Scellian Fleet has arrived and is now 30km off your nearest shore, we have established a 3km no fly zone around around force for our own protection and safety. We suggest that you do not try and violate this zone or else your plane will be shot down, if you fire on these ships or attempt to board any of them it will be taken as an act of war and responded to as such.
You may want to take a more reasonable stance, especially when it comes to threatening other nations with war. Our ships are in international waters, any attack on them would be illegal and foolish, do not try and play with them either for you will not like the result.
The Holy Imperial Empire offers its full support to the Conservative Union in there plan to erradicate communism. We are disgusted how foreign nations are protesting the Unions soveirgn right to do with there people as they see fit. Thefore we state if any nation intervenes within the affairs of the Conservative Union the Imperial Empire shall force them to cease there actions.
The Empire also offers to the Conservative Union a contigent of Inquisitors to use as they see fit to hunt down the Communist dogs and bring them to justice.

In a country where all lines of communication are monitered by the security agencies, the only satilite based communications are used by the military, how could we not intercept it? I would think that any one claiming they can send a 'secret' message to anyone without detection would be the person godmodding.

We respectfully turn down your offer for concubines for the ships as prostitution and premaritial sex are illegal within the Empire.

Colonel Vasily Krvo walked into the large operational briefing room, several stories below the earth's surface. Above, inaudible to the two dozen men sitting patiently in the briefing room, jet engines roared and the engines of five ton trucks grumbled. The island fortress of Ntac had seemingly sprung to life in the past two days. The seat of the Generian Imperial special forces operational command (GISFOC), the island base was often on alert for one reason or another. Today the crisis was one in the distant Conservative Union.
Colonel Krvo stepped before the assembled officers, special forces batallion commanders, master sergeants of operations, squad leaders, and a few engineers and interpreters. He turned, his hands clasped behind his back, a scowl on his face, and a cigar in the corner of his mouth.
"Gentlemen, we've been given clearance by Emperor Baedor of the Conservative Union. Seems he's got himself a bit of a pest problem, and Antonius wants us to go see if we can't help him solve it. We're going to be doing what we do best, working with indigenous forces on the ground, acting as advisors mostly, but possibly undertaking a few independent operations. As you may have heard, Scellian battlefleets have recently moved into position outside of CU territorial waters to deter the governmnet from doing what needs to be done.
The CU government hasn't taken any steps to change its ways, so I think we can safely say that sometime in the next few weeks, the pinko bastards are going to be ready to do more than just sit and watch. For the moment, however, the OPFOR consists of the PLP, the People's Liberation something-or-other. From what we can tell, they're using pretty standard terror and insurgency tactics, nothing that you should be too unfamiliar with after our own little bout with the BLA. However, don't expect to be hunting too much on your own. As of right now, this isn't our war. We're there to advise and coordinate. We listen to the CU commanders and we do what they tell us to do. Still, be on your guard. If we get lucky, we could be bringing home a few commie skulls yet.
That's the crux of it, gentlemen. There are two-hundred-eleven of you, and we're pulling out at 2300. Major Kukov will be passing out the additional intel sheets, maps and shit. Get your gear togethor and go over that intel. I'll see you on the ground in CU."
Krvo turned and walked out of the briefing room. Ten hours later, the large GA-T1 transports careened off of the runway, bound for the distant shores of the Conservative Union, their bellies laden with 211 men of the Imperial 7th special forces division.

MESSAGE FROM PARLIMENT

Our sincere apologies. It has long been our custom to honor our esteemed guests with concubines, what you refer to as prostitutes. It is a cultural misunderstanding, and I hope it does not cause your great empire to lose respect for our small Dominion.

"Parliment has announced an amendment to the 'No Communist Left Alive Act'. The amendment states that 'no communist will be executed with out a fair and speedy trial' and if 'proven to be politically moderate, non-militant, and absolutly loyal to the Dominion' the accused will only be 'detained for an unspecified period of time at the Dominion Bay Re-Education Detention Center'. This reverses the previous policy of summary executions. The amendment passed with a small margin of 3 votes. The reason cited for the amendment was 'to make more democratic the legal system of this great nation.' International observers have been invited to observe the trials.
In other news, the Dominion hospital in Imperial city has been retaken after intelligence reports suggested civilians were being murdered. Government troops stormed the hospital, killing 29 insurgenents, losing only 2 soldiers in the process. While the reports of civilian murders were wrong, several civilians died in the process of re-taking the hospital. Imperial City has been totally purged of communist rebels, but fighting in the country-side continues.

I wonder exactly to what extent you consider yourself above the Union in regards to technology? In any case, your assumption is soundly rejected as basless rhetoric.
With regards to the possibilty of war, the Union is not currently interested in armed conflict with the Red Tide nation.

((OOC: CU, about the whole encryption-decryption thing, it's just generally accepted that if someone says something is encrypted, it stays that way.The reason for this is to avoid debates and verbal pissing contests regarding the skill and technological aptitude of a nation's cryptogrophers, which eventually lead nowhere and make everyone angry. Sure there are ways to decrypt any message, but with the most advanced of ciphers today, particularly the one time pad ciphers that are often used, it would take years (1,000 or thereabouts I believe is the estimate) to be able to decrypt the pad (disposal one use cipher 'key') that is being used to encrypt the data in question, the estimates simply based on the sheer size of the pads created by the encryption computers.
Of course there are computers that can be created to decrypt these things, but with advancements being constantly made in the technology and the evolution of ciphers, it becomes a neverending race between code makers and code breakers. Most of the people here on NS (myself included) find this a little difficult and confusing to roleplay, so it is just safely assumed that if something is labeled 'secret' (be it via in character roleplayed 'encryption', the 'code' HTML format provided by the forum, or just the label 'Secret IC' before a post) the only persons in the roleplay who are aware of the information in an in-character situation are the message sender and the message recipient. It just keeps things level and eliminates a difficult dimension that would make roleplays very confusing.
I understand that you're new here, so I hope that explanation was a little more helpful than the one given by everyone else consisting largely of the response 'because that's just how it is.'

In his office at the Rammsteinburgian embassy in The Conservative Union, Ambassador Sir Rupert Randolph sits at his desk watching a news report on recent events in The Conservative Union. Also in the office is one of Randolph's top advisors, Adolf Volker.
Volker looks over at Randolph. "The world is full of so much conflict, eh sir?" The ambassador turns the television off and turns to his advisor. He responds "Indeed it is, old friend." He sips a cup of coffee. "Anyway, have we gotten any word from back home?" "Yes, we have. a letter arrived from Minister O'Moore this morning." Volker searches in his jacket pocket and pulls out a blue envelope with the official Rammsteinburg Ministry of International Relations seal on it. Rudolph pulls out the letter and begins to read it. "What does it say," asks Volker. After taking a few moments to finish reading, Rudolph answers. "Well, it seems the minister wants me to meet with one of the highest officials in the Conservative Union government, preferably the emperor, if possible. Could you try to get me a meeting with one of them? And I want it to be a.s.a.p." Volker stands up to go try to schedule a meeting. "Yes, sir."
