Official Directive from The United Capitalist Republic of Jaghur

To the nation of Entsteig:

Due to past actions of the nation of Entsteig and their (seemingly) utter disregard of our nation as an international power, we have no choice but to declare war, unless the Steigian government endorses and follows the Articles of Surrender. The following are the Articles of Surrender, already endorsed by the Jaghurian Ministry and passed by the Jaghurian Senate:

Ultimatum

This document was created for the sole purpose of the submission of Entsteig

Theodore Johnson
Secretary to the Prime Jaghuran

Articles

I. The nation of Entsteig will not engage in any warfare with the nations of Jaghur and Karchozia

II. The nation of Entsteig will also not engage in any warfare with the puppet nations of Jaghur and Karchozia

III. The Royal Steigian Military, meaning the Royal Steigian Army, the Royal Steigian Navy, the Royal Steigian Air Force, and any other extraneous divisions, shall not exceed 50,000 personnel, whether active or inactive.

IV. The number of vessels in the Royal Steigian Navy shall not exceed 50. The number of aircraft in the Royal Steigian Air Force shall not exceed 150.

V. The nation of Entsteig will withdraw from any territorial holdings, but may keep them as protectorates and proctetorates only

VI. The nation of Entsteig will be allowed to keep its sovereignty, but government monitors and secret service members from Jaghur and Karchozia will be dispatched to Entsteig to monitor Entsteig’s policies.

VII. Trade limitations will be set upon the nation of Entsteig and will be enforced by the navies of Jaghur and Karchozia. Any smuggling operations will be ended if discovered.

VIII. The nation of Entsteig must comply with all but one of articles three through seven. The first two articles are required.

Penalties

I. Any governmental official will be subject to arrest if they resist any part of the articles, or are found corroborating with an enemy of Jaghur or Karchozia.

II. Any governmental official will be subject to a life sentence if they are involved in a resistance movement.

III. Entsteig citizens are also subject to arrest for the previous reasons, but none will serve a life sentence.

IV. If the government takes away the rights of its citizens in any way, shape, or form, it will be abolished and a new government, the type of which will be determined by the citizens, will be put into effect.

V. The militaries of Jaghur and Karchozia will be brought in to subdue nationwide rebellion.

Final Statement

If the nation of Entsteig does not sign the articles, war will be declared.

OOC: Remember that Jaghur is bordered to the South by an impassable mountain range with the rest by the ocean, so a land attack is impossible without first having an aerial drop or sea invasion. All cities on the coast are defended and have ports. The navy patrols the 50 nm line. Any unknown ship will be considered hostile until proven to be an ally or a neutral party.

The head of operations for the Rogue Alliance was watching the evening news, when the report of an ultimatum issued to Entsteig came on.

"-This is Charles Lampert with breaking news! Jaghur, the national head of the Trade Alliance, has given the Steigian government an ultimatum to be agreed upon within one week! If they do not concede to the demands issued in the document, a state of war will be declared by the Rogue and Trade Alliance against Entsteig. It appears that the people of the Rogue Alliance finally know why the military forces have been mobilizing for the past six months. We have recieved information that the national heads have been discussing this ultimatum for many months and are prepared in the event this turns to war. We, of course, will bring you more information as this situation develops. This is Charles Lampert for Action 12 News."

Vasil D'Anglas turned off the television and sighed. He had hoped that the Trade Alliance would wait another week, allowing the Rogue Alliance to complete their mobilization. But they had undoubtedly caught the Entsteig government unprepared, and now held the military upper-hand.

"Sir, a telegram for you." said an aide, as he poked his head through the office door. "It is from one of the state head's."

"Which one? Romandeos or Read lot?" asked D'Anglas, with slight annoyance.

"Erm, Read lot, sir."

"Thank you. I'll take that." he said, taking the envelope from the aide's hands.
He opened it up to reveal a letter from the state head of Read lot, Josh Lansing.

To: Vasil D'Anglas, Regional Chief
From: Josh Lansing, State Head

Mr. D'Anglas,

I have recieved the reports of the ultimatum being issued, and I would like to say that our state is somewhat insulted at being called a "puppet nation" to Karchozia. We are part of the Rogue Alliance, and we wish to be addressed as such. I suggest editting the ultimatum to read: "The nation of Entsteig will also not engage in any warfare with any of the nations in the Rogue or Trade Alliance." This will prevent Entsteig from finding any possible loopholes in the document, and taking advantage of them. I thank you for your time, and would remind you that, even though our state is small, we will support you with anything we have.

Sincerely,
Josh Lansing

Vasil sighed a second time. They had only recently accepted the nations of Read lot, Kill lot and Wandering Companies into the Rogue Alliance. They had drawn up the ultimatum before that, and had neglected to edit it. Luckily, that was easy to fix. He had more important things to do, like address the Rogue Alliance on the possibility that they may go to war with Entsteig.

But for know, Vasil D'Anglas was looking over the status of the Rogue and Trade Alliance as opposed to Entsteig. What he was seeing pleased him greatly. They had a larger population, defence budget and better equipped army than Entsteig. This would be an easy fight, if it came to that. Of course, it would be wiser for Entsteig to agree to the terms...

OOC: Don't forget, Read lots will be somewhat involved in this. Not giving major militarily support, of course, but he could have commando squads and research scientists. As well as moving the plot along.

King Hedrik II sat in his chair, reading the ultimatum for the seventeenth time. This was unacceptable. What next, were they going to demand that citizens paint their tongues a pale shade of purple at three in the morning everyday? He shook his head. He knew that the Steigian military was far more advanced, better equipped, and better trained than their Rogue and Trade Alliance counterparts. Not to mention their fierce patriotism. This could only be a product of Jaghur and Karchozia's economic and imperialistic ambitions.

The sovereign angrily spat on a copy of the ultimatum, ripped it in two, and flushed it down the closest royal lavatory. He would have to gather allies against the warmongers of Rogue Alliance and Trade Alliance should it come to war, which he believed that Jaghur and Karchozia would declare. He decided to wait a while before denying the ultimatum, in order to quickly mobilise a portion of the Royal Steigian Armed Forces and to gain allies.

Temporary Response from the Holy Kingdom of Entsteig:

We cannot either accept or deny your ultimatum as of this moment. We shall send our final response within one week after some contemplation upon this matter.

Dr. Hamun R. Larotz
Chief Foreign Diplomat

King Hedrik II
Sovereign of the Holy Kingdom of Entsteig

You're country may have an outstanding military record, but that cannot help you here. I respectfully wish for you to observe the topic title. If you notice, this is a closed RP where only the Rogue Alliance, Trade Alliance, and Entsteig are allowed to participate. I would ask that your forces stand down and all claims made be renounced. If you do not abide by this wishes, I will have no choice but to report you for intruding in a Closed RP. I wish you the best of luck where ever you go.

May we one day meet as friends,
Vasil D'Anglas

OOC: And for the record, any other nations wanting to get involved in favor (or against) Entsteig are not allowed. Sorry.

OOC: That entire post should have been OOC. The problem is Enstiteig posted a request for international assistance in II. You may want to sought this out with him/her.

OOC: It depends if you talked to Entsteig beforehand about it being closed. If you didn't have any prior talks over this rp then you are only having it closed so Entsteig won't receive any outside help. If you already talked about this and agreed on it being closed than, yes no one else can enter.

OOC: That entire post should have been OOC. The problem is Enstiteig posted a request for international assistance in II. You may want to sought this out with him/her.

OOC: True, but I like keeping things formal. I did notice Entsteig's other topic, and replied in their as well. Entsteig, Jaghur and I are all friends in real life, and arranged this. But we forgot to tell Entsteig that this is a closed RP except for us. Terribly sorry for all the confusion that this lack of communication has caused.

OOC:

All other nations posts are ignored. Can you not read the title? If Entsteig goes out of his way to break the rules, then so be it, but since I am the topic starter, I would suggest that Entsteig will go by the rules, or else I will not look on him as a credible Rper. Go to the thread "A Request for Assistance, War Imminent" and you will see. Please delete your posts, or I'll report you to the mods

It was late at night and Josh Lansing, the Head of State of Read Lots, was tired. It had be a long day trying to prepare for war against Entsteig. As Lansing got into bed, the phone rang. It was his secretary, Louis Kar. "Quick, turn to channel 6!" As Lansing changed to 6, Kar said, "Some fisherman has seen one of the nuclear submarines!" By then, Lansing had changed the channel.
"-In a surprising turn of events, a fisherman of Wandering Companies reported seeing a nuclear submarine with Read Lots flag painted on the side dead in the water. The submarine was evidently patrolling along the coast when the reactor failed."
Lansing cursed, "What sub was it?"
"The RLS Tiger Shark" was the reply.
Lansing cursed again, "That was one of the newest! What was the problem?"
"We don't know!"
"Well, keep me posted." Lansing hung up the phone. "I will never be able to sleep" he muttered as he started to get redressed.

OOC:
As Read Lots, Wandering Companies, and Kill Lots are part of the Rogue Alliance, we are part of this war. We cannot provide major military action but we can provide small commando raids and fund research for the war effort as well as patrol our coasts by both water and air.
