As of today I, President Ward, hereby announce a 25 mile exclusion zone to all military traffic. No military forces at any time may violate the 25 mile zone without the express permission of me.

Any military unit found violating this zone will be dealt with in any fashion appropiate and will be considered a preclusion and act of War.

I do not wish for any hostilities and welcome any and all nations to trade, and travel to my nation. I also welcome any nations military to use our ports for rest and refurbishment as long as that nations military has been proven to not be hostile.

In addition, terrorism will NOT be tolerated in Specopscom. Any person found to be guilty of terrorism or attempted terrorism will be dealt with swiftly and sharply. Also, accordingly, any nation found to harbor terrorists who have attacked or attempted to attack my nation will be considered a hostile nation and we will consider such as a preclude to war.

Official Scellian Government Response

Since we have no ships in your area, nor will we have any int he foreseeable future we do not care what you do within your own waters. However military control of a nations seas extends 22km, then it becomes international water. This is nearly universally recognised and any Scellia warship fired upon in international waters will provoke a war. We will support any nation against you in any war you provoke be firing on ships in international waters, no matter what you wish to call them.

OOC: If you want, you can RP your forces firing on an older model Scellian destroyer. Like a Arleigh Burk class, it will most likely be sunk but it will be about 20 miles (32km) out to sea around your nation.

We understand your concern of your vessels being fired upon and it is quite reasonable. However without good reason and a resonable assurance by all nations that our borders be they land or naval will not be violated then we cannot nor will not shorten our exclusion zone to less than 25 nautical miles.

However President Ward invites your leader and two warships of your choosing to visit and enter into discussions in these and other matters of any concern or desire of your leader.Official Scellian Government Response

We will be happy to entertain a conference with you, a delegation is being sent this moment to your capital by air. We have no wish to create a tension laden situation by sending any warships into your territorial waters, and feel that public air travel is best. We hope that the conference will begin shortly.

I look forward to entering into talks with your nation, and every thing that can be done is under way in preperation of your delegates arrival.

I give my assurance that they will be treated with the utmost respect and honor due their status. I hope that our talks will be productive and we can enter our nations into a state of peace for trade and possibly more.

OOC: I'm concentrating on the war I'm in right now, so the conference won't start till RL tomorrow.

The People's Republic refuses to recognise this illegal annexation of international waters. We will reserve the right to transit international waters and airspace any where in the world, and will regard any attempt to interfere with this right as an act of war.

Bump, so I can find this for the conference.

Very well, if your nation violates the 25 exclusion zone in any way then those responsible will first be detained and charged in a court of law for their crimes.

In addition, if detention fails then any ship or aircraft violating Specopscom's 25 mile limit will be fired upon and destroyed. The government of Specopscom wishes to remain without the threat of war and terrorism, but will do all that is necessary to defend it's territory.The People's Republic refuses to recognise this illegal annexation of international waters.

Any ship or aircraft violating United Specopscom's 25 mile limit will be detained or if detention is not possible due to hostile actions then that ship(s) or aircraft will be fired upon and destroyed.

It is not the wish of Specopscom's government for war or hostile actions but Specopscom will not tolerate any niolation of it's territory.***Searching for satellite uplink***

SBJ: NEW ORDERS

a) Take up position 35 (thirty five) km from United Specopscom.
b) Maintain maximum defence readiness posture
c) You are clear to take any action necessary to ensure safety of Shildonian
vessels and aircraft.
d) Order C does not include the release of special weapons without express
authorisation.



"Maximum Defence Readiness Posture means there'll always be a flight of four Harpy-class stealth fighters airbourne at all times, along with an E-2 AWACS. A further four Harpies and two Centaur-class ground attack aircraft will be on four minute readiness to launch to provide additional defence

The delegates arrive and the conference starts...

"We wish to know hwy you feel that you must claim international waters. What you do with your neighbors is their business, however I'm guessing that they have asked something similar of you or your side of the border."

We have decided to do this on a temporary basis due to intelligence we have recieved of possible attampted annexation of our nation. The intelleigence has been deemed of the utmost trustworthyness. In addition, we have disconcerned that there is currently a plot of unknown origins of a terrorist nature underway, concerning our nation.

While we do not know yet the persons involved in these plots we feel that it is prudent to upgrade our militaries readiness, and state our nations standing in this issue before the workd at this juncture.

In addition, we have stated before that we do not wish war or any hostile actions to take place but the safety of our nations citizens are of the utmost concern.The delegates arrive and the conference starts...

***Just thought it would be fun to have a multi-nation, multi-reason conflict rp and see where it goes.***

OOC: Unfortunately other nations are looking at this and seeing easy and justifable war, something that is hard to find in NS. Too often each side gets a large number of nations supporting them because each side has a valid point, in this case too many people will see side with the attacking nations and it becomes a very one sided war.

IC:
So are you saying that this measure is only temporary, and not permenant? If so, how long do you espect this to last?

OOc**You are correct, however, I was going to develop the situations and kinda on a spur of the moment type thing. Most likely it would be one-sided at the start and hopefully would develp into something more. Just a thought and idea.**OOC: Unfortunately other nations are looking at this and seeing easy and justifable war, something that is hard to find in NS.

IC*** In support of your question, yes this is only temporary and it is not foreseen as a permament aspect, I have been informed that every possible recourse is underway to determine the sources of these plots, also that our intellegnece sources are very close to discovery, and that it should only be a short amount of time till all questions are answered and all dangers are assessed and dealt with.

"If this is only a temporary measure, say only a month or so in duration, then we have no issue with these precautionary methods."

We will not aside by this claim, we will aisde your claim to 22 miles out. If any Hamanistan Warship or Aircraft is fired upon outside of the 22 mile mark Hamanistan will fire back, and we don't mean with warships or aircraft.

I will let Admiral Skelton my Director of National Intelligence address this.

"Good afternoon. My name is Admiral L.J. Skelton Director of National Intellegence (DNI) and to address your concern I have in my hand a report that states that it is understood that it should be only a matter of weeks up to a month until our investigations are closed and at that time I will make a recomendation to the President as to our military status. We have at this time identified one terrorist cell in our natino and have as of two hours ago assaulted their location and arrested the remaining alive. I will be making a world wide news announcement concerning this situation as soon as I have taken all questions from the delegates in this current conference.

At this time I will answer all questions to the best of my ability.

Are there any questions?""If this is only a temporary measure, say only a month or so in duration, then we have no issue with these precautionary methods."

We have a viable and universal right to justify our military status and our exclusino zone. At this time any nation that violates our declared exclusion zone shall be fired upon and destroyed. The use of any weapons of Nuclear nature or worse shall be answered by the same from Specopscom. We will announce shortly when the exclusion zone shall be pulled back to the standard 22 miles. Due to the repeated and current threats from other natinos our military has at this time been upgraded to the highest level of military readiness.From: Hamanistan Military HQ

OOC: Did I say Nuclear Weapons? Those will destroy the world...alot of people just fire em and forget them but hey they will kill everyone. Hamamnistan Armed Forces has only 100 Nuclear Warheads in its stockpile and they are only planned to be used if used upon us.

OOC: Did I misunderstand when you stated that you would fire back and you don't mean with warships or aircraft? If I did misunderstand it to mean nuclear weapons then I apologize. Also nuclear weapons would never be used as a first strike weapon by me.OOC: Did I say Nuclear Weapons?

"Delegates of Scellia, it has just come to my attention that we now have the name of the terrorist cell recently arrested and we will shortly release the name of this cell globally. However, I have been informed that the terrorists have had intensive training in resistance to interrogation. It appears that our intelligence operatives have been unsuccessful in determining the nation responsible for the threat of annexation.

Also, whatever weapons WE have is our technology and up to us to disclose if we feel it is pertinent

OOC:Nope! If you want nukes you will have to roleplay the development, same with SDI. Or you can wait until you reach 100 million population(for nukes). Otherwise, as far as we are concerned, you were bluffing.

OOC** As far as bluffing goes, well that is to be determined. However, as before, a nations technology is it's own to disclose or not disclose. Every nation has it's secrets. I am not saying we have em or would use em. I am also not saying we don't have em. Just have to rp and see what happens.OOC:Nope!
