"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press. Ever since a volcanic eruption to the north of us some centuries ago, the islands there have been uninhabited by humans. Some time this week the tremblings of the mountain ceased, and after many tests we can safely say that the volcano is dead. We have made the preparations to settle on these islands, so we can provide room for our industry and our growing population. We will not force any to move to these islands, but we will by no means hinder anyone wishing to move.
We shall be sending two Infantry Legions to secure the islands and make a thorough search to confirm that it has not inhabited by any independant peoples.
We wish for no international involvement in this matter and as of midnight tonight we will regard it as Obsideon soil. We will give all Nations 72 hours to ensure they have no military vessels within 50 nautical miles of either island. When those 72 hours are up, our current policy will apply to any that are within those waters.
We advise all nations thathave trade routes running through those island's waters to rethink their network. Although merchant vessels will be allowed to pass through our national waters, escort ships will be asked to take a longer way around.
We thank all the nations of the world for their co-operation and understanding of this situation."

OOC: Can I use for some of my own posts?

OOC: Actually, I believe it was first Leafanistan that used that form.

IC: Provinzführer is wondering why he should inform all merchants sailing to and from Tannenmillian territories to avoid this area. We will, granted, order them to sail around the islands, but if any threats are made to merchants sailing to or from Tannenmillian regions through international waters, we will likely escort them using our military's power. If the threats continue and merchants or our forces are attacked, we will consider hostile action.

I have suburbs bigger than that plot, in fact, there probably bigger than your whole country !

Tannenmille,
International Waters are International Waters, meaning that in 72 hourse we will have as much say in what goes on 51 nautical miles out as you do. Our reason for mentioning the waters was to ensure that no stray military vessels would be within our territory when the settlements were produced.

Obsideo

Understood and noted. However, referencing our sattelite imagery, Five-Eye Reef is extremely close to your claim. It would be a pain to have to sail around that landform. Would it be possible for merchants to slip between that space?

Merchant and Civilian vessels can pass through our waters. Military vessels will be questioned once and once only before being acted upon.
