Nations of the world:

I am Emperor Titus Celmaetus, leader of the United Empire of Comatica for six years now. Myself, and my allies, Emperor Alaric Tan'it of Xeraph, and President Israel Azullias of N Y C have fought the evils of the Black & Grey Imperium, dealing a blow to our nations. We have become great and close allies, and now wish to spread that out. Xeraph, which was a member of the Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength in it's heydey, seeks to rebuild that alliance, however in colossal proportions. Comatica and Xeraph now announce the opening of GAPTS.

The Official Charter for The Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength [GAPTS]
As drafted by the Comatic Imperial Senate

Section A: Preamble
Article 1: GAPTS ideals
The purpose for the formation of GAPTS is to maintain peace and order throughout the world. Through strength is the how this alliance chooses to perform that task. Whether it be through diplomatic talks, sanctions, intimidation, or military action, each member must be fully aware of the role of GAPTS in the world.

Section B: Applying and entering
Article 2: Requirement upon entry
All nations applying for entry into GAPTS must have a current incorporated population of at minimum 2 billion persons. Military power is not a factor in entry consideration.

Article 2a: Pending status
If a nation that wishes to enter is not above the 2 billion persons limit, it will be placed on the Pending list, in which it is not an active member and is not entitled to the benefits occuring in the alliance, but once it reaches it's population where it is within the 2 billion limit, it will be entitled to those benefits.

Article 3: Rejection
A nation applying for entry into GAPTS may be denied entry through the Celmaetus Process, as devised by Emperor Titus Celmaetus of Comatica. A member nation may voice it's disapproval of an applying nation, with a solid reason. Then, all active nations in GAPTS will receive a voting form via telegram. This voting form will be for the entry of the nation that was disapproved of by a member. Each nation will vote on whether this nation should be granted entrance to GAPTS. If 1/2 of the members in the alliance vote against the nation's entry, it's application will be denied.

Otherwise, nations with all government types will be accepted.

Section C: Interacting with alliance members
Article 4: Embassies
All nations must exchange embassies with all member nations, if it has not been done already. This is to improve the relations between each member. (OOC: Doesn’t have to be RPed)

Article 5: Trade
Free trade between each member nation is strongly encouraged and recommended, but not required.

Article 6: Acceptance of other members
Each member should be accepting of another member's culture and way of life. A member shall not attempt to change another member nation's society or culture.

Article 6a: Conflicts upon entrance
Members will not be allowed to be involved in military conflicts with each other. Decisions will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis. If a nation applies, and has an ongoing military conflict with a current member, the applying nation will be placed on the Pending list, unless the conflict should be resolved.

Article 6b: Conflicts after entrance
Military conflicts among members will not be tolerated, and may result in the expulsion of the instigating members from GAPTS, unless the conflict was absolutely necessary.

Section D: Benefits and duties of GAPTS members
Article 7: Military conflicts
Member nations may seek the assistance of other members in military fashion, depending on the situation.

Article 7a: Defensive wars
Should a member nation be invaded by a foreign power not in GAPTS, said nation may seek the military assistance of another member. Members may assist other members on their own merit, and are not required to come to the aid of one in need, though it is recommended. This assistance may be in the way of providing military forces to defend a member's land, providing military forces to attack the invader's land, or providing logistical supplies for the member nation that has been attacked.

Article 7b: Offensive Wars
Should a member invade or attack a sovereign nation offensively, it may seek the military or logistical assistance from other member nations. Members may assist other members on their own merit, and are not required to come to the aid of one in need, though it is recommended. This assistance may be in the way of providing military forces to defend a member's land, providing military forces to attack the defender's land, or providing logistical supplies for the member nation that is attacking.

Article 8: Peacekeeping army
Member nations are required to contribute forces to a small peacekeeping force operated by the alliance, called the GAPTS Peacekeeping Task Force. A contribution must be at least 10,000 troops. They will be placed on a “Common Territory,” to be designated at a later date.

Article 9: Restricted list
All members on the Restricted list do not have several of the same benefits as full members. Restricted members may not receive aid for an offensive war. Also, they may not partake in any of the events described in article 3, and therefore cannot use the Celmaetus Process. This shall only be used for punishments.

Section E: Offenses
Article 10: Punishable offenses
The following are actionable offenses in GAPTS, and are followed by their respective punishments. Only co-founders or moderators may issue punishments. (All times RL)

•Engaging in a military conflict with another member nation. For Instigator || Minimum: Indefinite suspension--Maximum: Expulsion

•Passively aiding an outside nation in a conflict with a member nation. Minimum: Two month suspension, followed by five months placement on restricted list--Maximum: Expulsion

•Failure to contribute set amount of forces to GAPTS Peace-Keeping Task Force. Minimum: Six month placement on restricted list--Maximum: Indefinite suspension until troops are contributed

•Failing to cooperate with article 6. Minimum: Placement on Restricted list for 4 months--Maximum: One month suspension

Section F: Conclusion
The above charter must be agreed on in all it's entirety by an applying nation before entry may be granted.

PM Kaine,

Although you are not as yet an official member of GAPTS, you ARE allied to Xeraph. The Emperor and his Defense Council are at present discussing whether or not it is necessary to intervene on your behalf. It seems that there are far more nations who sympathize with The Beltway than not, and so as a result you have at present more than sufficient means to wage both an offensive and defensive war without Xeraph's assistance.

What the Emperor will undoubtedly decide will be to deploy two CBGs (48 naval vessals) to the waters off Gilabad, just outside their territorial waters, in an effort to ascertain what, if any, involvement Xeraph will pursue.

I will update you as event unfold.

The Dominion of The Grey Phoenix wishes to join this illustrious alliance. We meet the minimum criteria, and feel we would benefit it.

Full Name: The Dominion of The Grey Phoenix
Type of Government: Benevolent Dictatorship
Ruler: Vlad II
Total Population: 2.75 billion
Military population: 67.2 million active/on duty, 19.1 million support
Land Mass: Island Sub-Continent

Emperor Titus,

Black Shadows is interested in becoming a member of GAPTS. We were actually a member of the original GAPTS and now seek to renew our ties to the Alliance.

I noticed in the Charter that all member nations will be required to provide troops for a Peace-Keepers Force, to be located in a Common Territory. If there has not yet been a territory selected, might I suggest the island of Nirvania, approximately 145 miles off of our coast. It is at present uninhabited, and we would be happy to donate the island to the Alliance.

Nirvania is about 200 square miles in size, with a number of natural bays suitable for the berthing of ships, both commercial and military.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sethanis, King of Black Shadows


Full Name: The Dominion of Black Shadows
Type of Government: Monarchy
Ruler: Lord Sethanis
Total Population: 3.1 billion
Military Population: 60.45 million active, 33.55 million support.
Land Mass: Island Nation, a number of smaller islands.

The Kingdom of Auralinia seeks admittance to The Grand Alliance. We would be honored to be accepted.

Full Name: The Kingdom of Auralinia

Ruler: King Ricala
Total Population: 2.8 billion
Military Population: 63 million on combat duty, 21 million non-combat.


Addendum: Our government is currently overseeing the day-to-day governing of the Borderlands of Dark Visions, one of the nations of the defeated Black & Grey Imperium. In just a matter of days, we will be naming the new leadership of Dark Visions, and will strongly suggest they ask to be included in GAPTS.

Full Name: The Imperial Land of Findan
Type of Government: Constitutional Centrist Monarchy
Ruler: Emperor Samuel David Thomas Vandaland III
Total Population: 2.608 billion
Military Population: 59.76 millon active, 30 million reserve.
Land Mass: Large nation waith coastline equivenalnt to the length of coastline from Portugal to Hamburg in the north and the Adriatic sea's coastline in the southwest.

All nations which have applied in my absence, Findan, The Grey Phoenix, and The Black Shadows, are welcome into GAPTS. And I believe we will accept Black Shadow's generous donation of Nivaria. As soon as we can get our proverbial act together, Comatica will send crews to construct a preliminary base. We urge all GAPTS members to contribute to the island's fortifications.

Specifically, Comatica will supply 1,500 Governmental Task Force Alpha troops for the Peace-Keeping force, as well as 11,000 GTF Beta troops. Also among the contributed will be a troop carrier, a Jester Class destroyer, two Franses Class frigates, and one Cryptic Class aircraft carrier, equipped with 25 units of the recently-declassified Blackrod Z311 Fighters and 15 Telex fighting helicopters.

TO: The nations of GAPTS
FROM: The Empire of Xeraph
RE: Peace Keepers

The Emperor has decided to contribute 12,000 Royal Marines to the GAPTS Peace Keeper Force. In addition, Xeraph will provide one platoon of Beowulf MBTs ( 35 ), one squadron of F300 King Cobra fighter/bombers ( 12 ), and a 3-vessal complement of naval units, to include one Light Carrier ( 26 F100 Rattlesnakes and 12 Comanche HCGSs ), one Missile Destroyer ( VLS equipped ), and one Attack Cruiser ( VLS equipped ). One Xeraphian CBG will dock every 60 days for one week.

Once the Xeraphian portion of the base is constructed by the Royal Engineers, a single MASH Unit and a single FireBase Construction Team will also be based on Nirvania. Housing for the families of the military personnel will also be constructed.

Xeraph extends it's thanks to Lord Sethanis for the contribution of the island.

respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

The Imperial Land of Findan shall send 25,000 Imperial Marines, Airborne and three destroyers from the Imperial Fleet.


Emperor Samuel III

Lord Sir Reginald Cooper, Defense Minister

On behalf of the nations of GAPTS, I wish to thank Findan for it's contribution to the GPKF ( GAPTS Peace Keeping Force). Construction of the various bases is progressing smoothly. Soon there will be naval berths, airfields, and ground-unit bases on the island of Nirvania for each of the present members of GAPTS. At present, there is room for approximately 20 nations to base their forces there. If in the future GAPTS should need additional land, there are numerous other islands near Nirvania, albeit smaller.

respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

I am proud to announce that the Comatic portion of the base on Nivaria is completed. The defenses and various mechanisms on the island include 6 permanent-mount SAM missile batteries, 12 mobile SAM batteries, 18 anti-aircraft flak guns, 4 long-range SSM batteries, 2 APM launch pads, 1 ICBM launch pad, 3 landing strips (1 logistical, 2 military), 2 radar and observation stations, and other defenses.

Thank you,

Attention all members of GAPTS!

We have received a communication from the Black Katanas via secret courier. They have inquired as to whether it is a suitable time for the Katanas to be considered for inclusion into GAPTS.

The Prince's view is that with the recent upheavels in the Black Katanas, some additional time should pass before GAPTS membership approves their membership.

The former ruler of the Katanas, Lord Ghengiz, has not been captured, and is still at large. We do not know how many, if any, followers he has. There are rumors that he has formed yet another national entity with two other former members of the defeated Black & Grey Imperium. Details are few and sketchy.

Also, the newly appointed leader of the Katanas, Prince Vyossae, is hard at work rebuilding all aspects of his nation. It is our opinion that the added responsibility of membership in GAPTS would be spreading him too thinly.

We therefore vote that another three months are needed to evaluate the Black Katanas readiness to assume the responsibilities of membership to GAPTS.

I agree. I have full confidence and trust in the leadership Emperor Alaric Tan'it has placed in the Katanas, and would not fear for Comatica's safety should they enter, but the reconstruction effort must not be hindered. The membership would indeed be spreading him thin, and the slower the rebuilding of the Katanas, the more suseptable it would be to a hostile takeover.

On that note, I would like to add that the 85th, 86th, and 88th Engineering divisions are being prepared for departure to the former Imperium, the bulk of them concentrated in the Katanas and the Grey Legions. They are to aid in the physical rebuilding of infrastructure, as well as providing social stability. Also, the Ministry of Treasury is wiring 2 billion USD to the former Imperium states, for reconstruction purposes.

Sincerely,
Emperor Titus Celmaetus

Your Majesty,

Are you speaking of the territories in Comatica occupied by Imperium forces, or the former Imperium lands themselves? If the latter, I would advise not entering the Grey Legions, as they are part of the the Empire of Eternity, not the Xeraphian Empire. Also, the Grey Legions never formally surrendered, and the Duke, Avan Astran, would vigorously defend the Legion territory should any nation seek entry unnanounced.

Vlad, Prince of the Empire

The Incorperation wishes to join this allience. We are a group of islands and coastal areas located in the continent of Irathria. The Incorperation has a population of about 2 billion, although we have not reached that point yet (I should in a couple days..) Our goverment consists of a one party system, where only stockholders of corperations who participate in that party may vote. We have a smaller military of about 2.4 million, however this is expected to increase sevenfold in the next couple years. We hope you consider our application.

Currently, we have three armies and two fleet numbering about 12,000 personell in total based on the island and would gladly make the entire package our contribution to GAPTS

The following is an official message to the Reich Forgeign Ministry in Tocrowkia.

It has been long since we have spoken directly, with official communiques. We apologise that this conflict has escalated to it's current status, but the United Empire did what had to be done. We are more than willing to initiate peace talks, perhaps in the capital of a neutral nation? I will call upon GAPTS to offer a ground for compromise, respectively.

Emperor Titus Celmaetus

I have full confidence and trust in the leadership Emperor Alaric Tan'it has placed in the Katanas, and would not fear for Comatica's safety should they enter, but the reconstruction effort must not be hindered. The membership would indeed be spreading him thin, and the slower the rebuilding of the Katanas, the more suseptable it would be to a hostile takeover.

On that note, I would like to add that the 85th, 86th, and 88th Engineering divisions are being prepared for departure to the former Imperium, the bulk of them concentrated in the Katanas and the Grey Legions. They are to aid in the physical rebuilding of infrastructure, as well as providing social stability. Also, the Ministry of Treasury is wiring 2 billion USD to the former Imperium states, for reconstruction purposes.

Sincerely,
Emperor Titus Celmaetus

West Cedarbrook is in agreement with Comatica's position. We are also announcing that The Sternberg Clinic will be constructing meidcal facilities in the Katanas, with financing underwritten by the Cedarbrook Export Commercial Trust.

Ernest Klein,
Secretary of External Affairs
Kramden of West Cedarbrook

Nations of GAPTS:

I would like to bring to your attention, if it is not already there, that there has been a series of warmongering threats from The Essenian Dynasty, directed squarely on the nations that fought the Imperium in the BG World War. Specifically, the member nations of West Cedarbrook, Xeraph, N Y C, and Comatica were directly addressed. They seek vengeance against them, in addition to Fourhearts, for fighting the Black & Grey, and, with former Katanas dictator Ghengiz at their side, they plan to wage war upon them. Also backing them up are the late-joiners of the Imperium, GothReich and Baael. Those three nations have so far not taken any military action, but proceeded to initiate a saber-rattling match between the Essenian Dynasty and Fourhearts, which has a grasp on the situation as of now, threatening sactions and other diplomatic solutions. It cannot be completed alone, so I urge those threatened member nations of GAPTS to back up Comatica and Fourhearts.

Emperor Titus Celmaetus.

OOC: I posted, but it was lost in the "Jolt Post Crisis of March '06." So know that I'm fully aware of the situation.

To: The august leaders of Tocrowkia and Comatica:

The Emperor has directed me to offer to the nations of Tocrowkia and Comatica a neutral meeting place so as to discuss the Terms of Settlement between your two countries.

The Duchy of Valtane is an island in a chain of islands connecting the two major land masses of the region of The Mercenary Lands. It was given to Eric Valtane over 50 years ago as a 'thank you' for the aid given by Valtane in the Xeraphian/Kothite war.

The Duchy is currently semi-vacant, as Valtane's heirs have not moved into the castle there. If you wish, the Emperor would be pleased to have Tocrowkia and Comatica meet there. King Ricala of Auralinia has offered to 'referee' the talks....just to keep them on an even keel.

If this is amenable to the two of you, please let me know.

respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

I find these terms most acceptable. I do not know about my Tocrowkian counterpart, but I would find it convenient to schedule the talks to begin on Saturday, March 18th. I will alert my allies, Velkya and No_State_At_All, of the peace talks, as they have been aiding me in this conflict. I personally shall attend, along with Emperor Titus, and Chief of Ministry Mundatus Veldaem, with the proper aides and security officers.

Sincerely,
Cornelius Durantum,
Minister of International Relations

The Empire of Xeraph is aware of the threats of the Essenian Dynasty, and therefore the Emperor has stepped up the Empire's alert status to DEFCON-3. As we are unaware of the Dynasty's full strength, all Imperial units are on call-up status.

We do know that the Dynasty and their allies are comprised of not only the individual nation's military, but the remnants of the forces that invaded Northern Sushi and Comatica. These remnants include the still-operational units of the navies of Dark Visions and the Grey Legions, and the ground forces of Dark Visions, the Grey Legions, Vhammpyr, and the Black Katanas. Available armor is unknown.

The Emperor wants to make it clear that the renegade remnants of these countries do not represent the true and loyal leadership of the nations named above, with the possible exception of The Grey Legions. The rebels should not be looked upon as citizens of these nations.

Updates to the rebel troop strength will be made as recon is gathered.

Prince Vlad

Update to Essenian Dynasty situation:

We have become aware of the defection of the Armed Republic of Pharex to the region of Kharnalia. This adds another member of the House of Tanith to the aggressors. Their military strength is approximately 240,000 active and call-up.

Preliminary estimates of the entire LOKI military strength is at 630,000 active and call-up. LOKI has approximately 113 fighter jets of various designations, 19 naval vessals including five carriers with full complement of 50-65 fighters each, four destroyers, three battleships, five missile ships, two submarines.

We would all do well to remember that the Grey Legion forces in LOKI are not currently in communication with the Grey Legion leadership. We do not know if the Grey Legions will enter on the side of LOKI.

Alaric

The frenetic pace Vyossae had been keeping during the rebuilding of the Katanan nation was beginning to show. He and his senior staff had hardly slept more than a couple of hours a night for the past eight months as they strove to get the economy straightened out. It, along with just about everything else, had been trashed by his uncle, Ghengiz, when he embarked on his misguided quest for Empire.

The economy, the Katanas diplomatic ties with other nations, and the military were in shambles eight months ago. Over 70% of the military had been used in the rebellion, and the remaining 30% were left ill-equipped to defend the country in the event of an invasion. Vyossae had recently become aware that about 100,000 of the rebels were still alive, and serving his uncle in the Essenian Dynasty. Vyossae found it difficult to understand the hold Ghengiz had on the rogue Katanan troops.

Nonetheless, he had a job to do. Alaric of Xeraph, Ricala of Auralinia, and Sethanis of the Black Shadows had pledged and provided billions of dollars in the Katanan reconstruction. Manufacturing plants had been brought up to maximum efficiency, the ports and railyards repaired and improved, and the judicial system placed back in their proper position. The time had come to revamp the military.

The Black Katanas before the war had had about 45 CBGs, 30 airwings, and two divisions of armor. The standing army had been at around 19 million, including reserves. They would be the hardest to replace.

Alaric had given the Katanas 14 CBGs from their surplus fleet along with a division of armor, to include 300 MBTs, 25 missile tanks, and a bunch of Humvees. As the army was presently at just 4 million active and support strength, Alaric had sent the 16th through the 44th Xeraphian Legions to bolster the Katanan ranks until Vyossae could draft native Katanans. And Sethanis had given him 3 CBGs, 100 MBTs, and 75,000 Shadow Guards.

Ricala, who was also Lord Director of the Xeraphian Space League, was providing protection of a different sort. He had three orbiting battle stations in constant watch over the struggling nation, and two Kalet'a Class heavy attack cruisers, which were presently hovering 1/2 mile above the capitol, photon torpedoes and lasers fully charged and ready to fire.

West Cedarbrook was aiding in the rebuilding of the nation's hospitals. He was very grateful for that, as Ghengiz had never had much concern for the sick.

Prince Vlad of The Grey Phoenix had provided 4 CBGs, 6 airwings, and 50,000 armored troopers.

Vyossae's main goal now was to bring the Katanas up to sufficient strength so as to allow them entrance to GAPTS. It would be a while yet, but it would come.

" M'lord Prince, a message from Alaric."

Vyossae turned to his commscreen, where the image of his uncle, the Emperor, was seated at a desk. " Greetings, Vy. I want to give you an update as to the build-up of the Essenian military. It's still quite sketchy because they seem to have some kind of natural shield keeping us from penetrating their atmospere, perhaps an ionic-magnetic anomaly. Anyway, we're estimating their numbers to be around three million in arms, active and reserve. But....we have a developement. Your cousin, Carrion, has defected to Ghengiz. That give LOKI another nation, Pharex, to add to to their defenses. This greatly affects their naval and air abilities. Almost doubles it, in fact. Add to this the fact that no one has heard anything from the Grey Legions, we may just have a serious situation on our hands. Ghengiz has promised a stealth war. We're doing all we can to minimize any sneak attack. All Imperial units are at DEFCON 3 until further notice. Keep me abreast of your progress."

Vyossae was stunned. Carrion had gone over to Ghengiz. Unbelievable. He had just talked to him a few days ago. Nothing seemed wrong.

Well, what will be will be. He had to get back to work...there was still much to be done.

Since the death of it's previous alliances, THL has been seeking ties to the international world. We believe we have found the ideal one in GAPTS.

ATTENTION ALL GAPTS MEMBERS!

Mandalore Prime has set up a Forum just for GAPTS. Take some time and check it out.


ooc: link is in this thread somewhere. My computer is effed up so I can't post it.

It's in my Signature...

Nations of the world:

I am Emperor Titus Celmaetus, leader of the United Empire of Comatica for six years now. Myself, and my allies, Emperor Alaric Tan'it of Xeraph, and President Azullias of N Y C have fought the evils of the Black & Grey Imperium, dealing a blow to our nations. We have become great and close allies, and now wish to spread that out. Xeraph, which was a member of the Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength in it's heydey, seeks to rebuild that alliance, however in colossal proportions. Comatica and Xeraph now announce the opening of GAPTS.

The Official Charter for The Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength [GAPTS]
As drafted by the Comatic Imperial Senate

Section A: Preamble
Article 1: GAPTS ideals
The purpose for the formation of GAPTS is to maintain peace and order throughout the world. Through strength is the how this alliance chooses to perform that task. Whether it be through diplomatic talks, sanctions, intimidation, or military action, each member must be fully aware of the role of GAPTS in the world.

Section B: Applying and entering
Article 2: Requirement upon entry
All nations applying for entry into GAPTS must have a current incorporated population of at minimum 2 billion persons. Military power is not a factor in entry consideration.

Article 2a: Pending status
If a nation that wishes to enter is not above the 2 billion persons limit, it will be placed on the Pending list, in which it is not an active member and is not entitled to the benefits occuring in the alliance, but once it reaches it's population where it is within the 2 billion limit, it will be entitled to those benefits.

Article 3: Rejection
A nation applying for entry into GAPTS may be denied entry through the Celmaetus Process, as devised by Emperor Titus Celmaetus of Comatica. A member nation may voice it's disapproval of an applying nation, with a solid reason. Then, all active nations in GAPTS will receive a voting form via telegram. This voting form will be for the entry of the nation that was disapproved of by a member. Each nation will vote on whether this nation should be granted entrance to GAPTS. If 1/2 of the members in the alliance vote against the nation's entry, it's application will be denied.

Otherwise, nations with all government types will be accepted.

Section C: Interacting with alliance members
Article 4: Embassies
All nations must exchange embassies with all member nations, if it has not been done already. This is to improve the relations between each member. (OOC: Doesn’t have to be RPed)

Article 5: Trade
Free trade between each member nation is strongly encouraged and recommended, but not required.

Article 6: Acceptance of other members
Each member should be accepting of another member's culture and way of life. A member shall not attempt to change another member nation's society or culture.

Article 6a: Conflicts upon entrance
Members will not be allowed to be involved in military conflicts with each other. Decisions will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis. If a nation applies, and has an ongoing military conflict with a current member, the applying nation will be placed on the Pending list, unless the conflict should be resolved.

Article 6b: Conflicts after entrance
Military conflicts among members will not be tolerated, and may result in the expulsion of the instigating members from GAPTS, unless the conflict was absolutely necessary.

Section D: Benefits and duties of GAPTS members
Article 7: Military conflicts
Member nations may seek the assistance of other members in military fashion, depending on the situation.

Article 7a: Defensive wars
Should a member nation be invaded by a foreign power not in GAPTS, said nation may seek the military assistance of another member. Members may assist other members on their own merit, and are not required to come to the aid of one in need, though it is recommended. This assistance may be in the way of providing military forces to defend a member's land, providing military forces to attack the invader's land, or providing logistical supplies for the member nation that has been attacked.

Article 7b: Offensive Wars
Should a member invade or attack a sovereign nation offensively, it may seek the military or logistical assistance from other member nations. Members may assist other members on their own merit, and are not required to come to the aid of one in need, though it is recommended. This assistance may be in the way of providing military forces to defend a member's land, providing military forces to attack the defender's land, or providing logistical supplies for the member nation that is attacking.

Article 8: Peacekeeping army
Member nations are required to contribute forces to a small peacekeeping force operated by the alliance, called the GAPTS Peacekeeping Task Force. A contribution must be at least 10,000 troops. They will be placed on a “Common Territory,” to be designated at a later date.

Article 9: Restricted list
All members on the Restricted list do not have several of the same benefits as full members. Restricted members may not receive aid for an offensive war. Also, they may not partake in any of the events described in article 3, and therefore cannot use the Celmaetus Process. This shall only be used for punishments.

Section E: Offenses
Article 10: Punishable offenses
The following are actionable offenses in GAPTS, and are followed by their respective punishments. Only co-founders or moderators may issue punishments. (All times RL)

•Engaging in a military conflict with another member nation. For Instigator || Minimum: Indefinite suspension--Maximum: Expulsion

•Passively aiding an outside nation in a conflict with a member nation. Minimum: Two month suspension, followed by five months placement on restricted list--Maximum: Expulsion

•Failure to contribute set amount of forces to GAPTS Peace-Keeping Task Force. Minimum: Six month placement on restricted list--Maximum: Indefinite suspension until troops are contributed

•Failing to cooperate with article 6. Minimum: Placement on Restricted list for 4 months--Maximum: One month suspension

Section F: Conclusion
The above charter must be agreed on in all it's entirety by an applying nation before entry may be granted.

The Parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them

In order to more effectively achieve the objectives of this Constitution, the Parties, separately and jointly, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid, will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack.

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Nationstates shall be considered an attack against them all; and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by the Constitution of the Global Alliance for Peace Through Strength (G.A.P.T.S), will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the Nationstates area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

One common military that everyone donates, say, .5% - .75% of their household troops to be supported by a yearly tax of 2% of each member nation’s military budget. Said dues shall be deposited in an account on NS run by DMG. This Fund will be used to outfit said military & any other outreach program deemed by council...i.e... International Aid, Rewards...Loans to smaller nations to bolster military & whatnot

Dammit... Posted this then I reread the entire thread...Ohh Well Maybe you guys can Incorporate some of it...
Anyway you guys can lower the entry requirements...to say 500 Million to be... Say Probationary members or Pleebs

OOC: I was thinking about lowering the entry requirements to, say, 1.25 billion, but I'm not sure how Xeraph and N Y C feel about it.

OOC: I was thinking about lowering the entry requirements to, say, 1.25 billion, but I'm not sure how Xeraph and N Y C feel about it.

ooc: If it is really an issue, we should put it to a vote after some discussion. Frankly, I feel very strongly that it should remain at 2 billion. We have a solid core of very qualified RPers, with a combined military strength that rivals any other alliance. Since all are equal in a minimal size, providing a minimal total military presence, do we want to be running to every little war that starts with lesser populated nations? In my experience, that type of situation quickly gets out of control. But, as I said, let the nations of GAPTS vote on it.

OOC: Perhaps. Actually, I think it is a very good idea to have a population limit, but I think that it should be lowered to at least 1.5 billion, if not, 1.75 billion.

ooc: OK..what about this idea? If nations who are under 2 billion want to join, why don't we create a region for them to move to? We can call the region " Lesser GAPTS", which will be sort of a staging area for all who want to join. If they REALLY want to be part of GAPTS, then they'll show it by moving there. They dont have to stay there, but it shows their intent. Then we can "lend" them enough troops to bring their military strength up to the amount they would have if they were at 2 billion, i.e. approx 40 million total in all branches.

For example, if nation 'A' has a pop of 1.5 billion, then we would lend him 10 million soldiers, sailors, pilots, etc.

Actually, there's a nation selling miliary clones. We could buy them, 'lend' them to the nation in question, and when they reach 2 billion, they can give them back, and we have not only a new member, but a shitload of new units for OUR armed forces.

OOC: Interesting...I may add that to the charter.

Each Main Member Nation will have a seat...Title of Senator...they will then Elect a Chair to oversee all Senatorial discussions & the like

Chair = House Majority Leader...Something along those lines

The only non senator will be the Legate from the house of representatives...
or Non voting member of the Senate

Their leader or Chair will be the House Minority Leader

OOC: Bumpppp

His Imperial Majesty Alaric Tan'it wishes to set forth a proposal, to be reviewed by all members of GAPTS, and to therefore be voted on.

Ever since the end of the Imperium/Allied Coalition War, the nation of Dark Visions has been without a ruler. King Ricala of Auralinia has been over-seeing the country for some time, but the time for that must end.

The proposal is as follows: It has been a tradition of The Xeraphian Empire that all subject-nations be ruled by a member of the House of Tanith. The Emperor wishes to continue this tradition by having Caesar Alejandro Valtane of Mandalore Prime take the reins of leadership in Dark Visions. Caesar Valtane is an indirect descendant of the Emperor through his grandfather's wife, therefore fulfilling the tradition.

What has this proposal to do with GAPTS?

Mandalore Prime has applied for full membership into GAPTS upon meeting the population requirements. However, if Caesar Alejandro becomes ruler of Dark Visions, the combined populations of Mandalore Prime and Dark Visions would enable the two nations to be admitted to GAPTS.

Please review, ask questions, discuss, and vote.

respectfully,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

We support the Xeraphian proposal.


Sir Thomas Wilmoore, Findanian Ambassador to GAPTS

Bump!

Bump!

We vote in favor of the Xeraphian proposal.

Stepping out from a concealed door…Alejandro approaches the conference room filled with reporters from all across the region.

Stepping up to, the Podium…Alejandro straightens his Armani Suit with a coupla deft stroke & clears his throat…

“Ladies & Gentlemen of the Press…I stand before you today with News of my apparent regency of the Nation of Dark Visions. When King Ricala first suggested that, I assume the regency. I was taken aback with the enormity of the task... At first, I was hesitant…Then after consulting my advisors & holding lengthy talks with Alaric & Ricala. I have come to the decision. That Dark Visions can only prosper under my rule…So from this day forth…I shall designate a dual Capitol…Mandalore Prime will continue to be ruled from Valtane Keep…And Dark Vision shall be ruled from Mount Tantalus… A Pre Exodus fortress built jointly by Alaric & my Father Eric Valtane.

The Forces of Mandalore Prime shall takeover the duties of Protection. Until such a time as I can reassemble The Armed Forces of DV. I do ask the current Nations of G.A.P.T.S to send military units to assist in the defense.
I also ask them for assistance in rebuilding the infrastructure.
Once DV is brought back up to par with the rest of the world… I formally request that all G.A.P.T.S members sit down for a formal conference in DV to finalize our illustrious alliance & make it a force of peace & prosperity that the world has yet to see.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me. I have a rather full plate before me do to the extremely large task set before me… I regretfully must cut this news conference short.
Thank You for your diligence… Long live the Alliance”

With that, Alejandro turned & strode from the room… Leaving the assembled roomful of reporters staring at his back.

ooc: MP, just to let you know, DV has approx 1/2 of it's former strength militarily, or about 7 million men at arms, both active and in support. Eight CBGs (16 ships per CBG), 1 division (350) of armor (MBTs, missile tanks, etc), 13 air wings ( 6 squadrons per airwing, 12 aircraft per squadron), and 12 MASH units.

To the members of GAPTS:

My name is Reichard Schneider. I am the President of the Free Republic of the Grey Legions, formerly known as the Dominion of the Grey Legions.

We are seeking admittance to The Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength. I and my Vice-President, Daniel Tallent, have revamped the Legion governmental structure, which now resembles a republican form of government.

The former ruler of The Grey Legions, Duke Avan Astran, has been executed for treason and crimes against humanity. He was, along with other rebels of the Black and Grey Imperium, responsible for the deaths of millions and widespread destruction of many nations. His nobles and generals have also been executed by firing squad. We are aware that remnants of the former Dominion allied themselves to LOKI, and were again defeated. However, we have evidence that thousands of Legion renegades are still at large, seeking a haven in which to live.

Please consider our request. We meet all requirements, and seek to move beyond our past.

regards,

R.K. Schneider, President of The Free Republic of the Grey Legions.

Mr. Schneider, we wholeheartedly welcome the new Grey Legions to GAPTS. We look forward to improving relations between our two nations.

--Emperor Titus Cemaetus

******

Since Mandalore Prime has done so much for the Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength, even when they were not a full member, I believe it a crime not to consider them one. I support Emperor Alaric Tan'it's proposal with full force.

--Emperor Titus Celmaetus

N Y C completely supports the Xeraphian proposal and thanks Mandalore Prime for its support. If Alejandro approves, an N Y C fleet stationed quite close to DV would be pleased to assist with any naval opperations there. We are very pleased with the way this alliance is strengthening, especially due to the fact that many new members were so recently despotic enemies. May this wonderful progress continue!
Sincerely,
Israel Azullias, President of the Metropolitan Republic of N Y C

By the way, as a pacifistic nation, albeit one that knows war is sometimes necessary, N Y C would like to see a code of War Conduct added to the charter that states that all GAPTS members should strive to only go to war with justification and that member may be expelled for commiting war crimes and/or humanitarian offences (obviously, we'd have to make some guidelines or too many nations would be forced out)

Thank you for your request. As stated in the Charter, nations wishing to be members must have a minimum population of two billion. However, I will put it forth to the existing members to add you to the list of Pending Members.

Prince Vlad

I knew about that, I just wanted to have faith that'd I'd have allies when Whytheica (or w/e) invades my small penninsula.

Attention members of GAPTS:

The nation of Angland has requested membership to GAPTS. As they are under the minimum population requirement, I propose that they be added to the Pending List.

Prince Vlad

I knew about that, I just wanted to have faith that'd I'd have allies when Whytheica (or w/e) invades my small penninsula.


That you will............

Then, since I and Findan are members of the GASN, I propose an alliance exist or friendly relations exist between the two since we both have the same enemy.

Under Article 4: Embassies
All nations must exchange embassies with all member nations, if it has not been done already. This is to improve the relations between each member.

We hereby submit our embassy form (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=455492) for our fellow allies to establish an embassy in our nation if they have not already done so.

OCC: I understand it doesn't have to be RP'ed but I would perfer if it was. If you can provided a link to your embassy or send me TG of the link- that will be fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We hate to impose restrictens on any nation, but we feel for nations even to be put on the pending list they have alteast a population of a billion people. Were willing to put this to vote, if other members of the GAPTS approve.

Since the nation of Anglad only has 16 million- we think they should be allowed to grow more before they join the GAPTS. Their nation is young and is still just a child compared to most members of the GAPTS. That is our opinion.

we have no problem whatsoever about allowing Anglad to be a pending member.

While we agree with United Earthlings as to the billion-level mark, we have in the past added nations with less than a billion population to the Pending List.

However, as this is an evolving alliance, I propose that we do impose another minimum population number, that being one billion for Pending Status.

Vlad

Then, since I and Findan are members of the GASN, I propose an alliance exist or friendly relations exist between the two since we both have the same enemy.



"Friendly relations/diplomatic ties" are no problem. If there is to be an official alliance between GASN and GAPTS, it must be decided upon by the members of GAPTS via vote.

Vlad

I'd say yes.

Xeraph also stands in favor of Full Alliance with GASN.

If there are no objections, I think we can consider GASN and GAPTS fully allied.

If there are objections, members of GAPTS will have one (RL) week to post them. Decision for full alliance will be posted as an announcement thread.

Sorry that your proposal was overlooked. I think that what your'e getting at goes without saying. If any member of GAPTS acts unilaterally in an aggressive manner, the other nations have the right to call him on it. Given the "maturity" of our members (which is why I insisted on the 2 billion pop) I don't see a problem with any of us attacking and destroying any nation just because we can.

Point # 1 sounds OK to me. But we should keep those already on the list.

Point # 2: I really don't think that most members would want to leave their region. I wouldn't. My region is comprised of all of the nations of my Empire. Moving to another would have the effect of weakening the region. BUT, perhaps a region made up of elements of all of the member nations would work.

I concur. I really like my current region. I can't move.

Ok, we stay where we are is fine with me. I was just throwing out an idea.

To: The nations of GAPTS
From: Grand Duke Ozgood the Third
Grand Duchy of Tarlag


To all GAPTS members the Grand Duchy of Tarlag would like to make a formal request for military aid in our struggle with the Northern Colonies and their allies.

This conflict started when the Colonies attempted to trick the region of Reformed Oceania to which Tarlag belongs, into entering in their conflict with Farmina and the Hawk alliance. Then for some unknown reason they attacked and destroyed the Red O'Shay a Tarlag registered natural gas tanker killing all 27 of her crew. The Northern Colonies are also suspect in an attack on a Tarlag registered airliner and backing the terrorist group the Warriors of God.

Tarlag can no longer sit on the side lines and let these attacks and insults happen. The Northern Colonies have threatened to bring in their allies and crush my great nation I can not let this happen.

I request that GAPTS members send forces to Tarlag to aid in our defense.
If the Northern colonies have no allies then your forces will just aid in my peoples defense, but if their allies show their ugly heads on the battle field
then your forces will be called into action.

Thank You
Grand Duke Ozgood

Militia Enforced State
Private Communique

To: Nations a part of the GAPTS Alliance.
From: Jason Snyder, Grand Director, Militia Enforced State.

To all leaders of the GAPTS.

My name is Jason Snyder. I am the current leader of the Militia Enforced State. You have probably heard a large amount of critism and downright personal character assasination of myself and my administration. I come to you with this communique, to set the record straight.

Our nation was lead by a number of corrupt 'Force Commanders', the second generation of Force Commanders, replacements of the effective General system which our founders started as. This corrupt group got us involved into the diplomatic affairs of Farmina, and in the end, caused the death of one of their very own, as well as the loss of Messian equipment and personnel.

I came in to repair our damaged government system, and have set things straight. You may have heard from the Hawk coalition that we attacked them first with the Northern Colonies. That is far from the truth.

First of all, our strike was designed to go against the heavily corrupted Liberal party, which has known to be a substancial backer of the now defunct Reaction Corps, who did an audacious attack against our own fleet, as you can see from the video included in this message. We attacked to force regimine change, and with the war, we succeeded. Right now their government is in legal turmoil, which will make it harder to organize a terrorist cell like the Reaction Corps.

Secondly, the Northern Colonies joined us in this attack, because of both the attacking R.C. fleet because they flew N.C. flags before attacking. They also attempted to assasinate the Northern Colonist Prime Minister and his senior advisors. In the end however, it turned out that the threat ended up not against Farmina, but the Northern Colonies. The Northern Colonies is currently lead by a very corrupt neo-conservative party, who's only reasons for not giving in to minor sanctions and going to full out war, was to simply save political face. This, along with crimes against humanity, we are trying to remove this other corrupt power structure.

As a solitary nation, I ask your nations: should we work together to help one of your fellow members? Take care of this insolent rogue nation? Protect your interests? As well, I ask your nations, should I join your rightful cause, and give my strong army to this powerful body of nations?

I bid you goodday. I hope you will consider my offer.

- Grand Director Jason Snyder
Militia Enforced State

I would have to read the thread before I contemplate any troop deployment to the region.

Now what the Northern Colonies did to Farmina and the MES has some bearing in what I am doing and I have allied myself with both nations, but Tarlag plans to carry out our own war plans against the Colonies. I am asking for GAPTS aid for the simple reason Tarlag may need backup. If I can bring sufficient force to bear I may be able to bring the Northern Colonies to the negotiating table and have a peaceful resolution to the conflict. If this is not possible the we would have sufficient forces in place to overwhelm them with a minimal loss of life on both sides.

Duke Osgood,

You can rely on the nations of Auralinia and Xeraph to come to your aid against The Northern Colonies. The Emperor is at present consulting with one other Imperial nation, The Black Katanas, as well as my own government as to how we are to go about neutralising this upstart nation.

As a preliminary estimate, the four above names countries are prepared to send 880,000 Armored Troopers to your nation for deployment to the territory of The Northern Colonies. Total number of CBGs and aircraft are presently being decided upon, although you can rely on at least 10 CBGs (24 vessals per CBG) and at least 6 AirWings (96 aircraft per airwing) including a 7th AirWing comprised exclusivly of Python Bombers.


I will be updating you as events progress.

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

Militia Enforced State
Private Communique

To: Nations a part of the GAPTS Alliance.
From: Jason Snyder, Grand Director, Militia Enforced State.

To all leaders of the GAPTS.

My name is Jason Snyder. I am the current leader of the Militia Enforced State. You have probably heard a large amount of critism and downright personal character assasination of myself and my administration. I come to you with this communique, to set the record straight.

Our nation was lead by a number of corrupt 'Force Commanders', the second generation of Force Commanders, replacements of the effective General system which our founders started as. This corrupt group got us involved into the diplomatic affairs of Farmina, and in the end, caused the death of one of their very own, as well as the loss of Messian equipment and personnel.

I came in to repair our damaged government system, and have set things straight. You may have heard from the Hawk coalition that we attacked them first with the Northern Colonies. That is far from the truth.

First of all, our strike was designed to go against the heavily corrupted Liberal party, which has known to be a substancial backer of the now defunct Reaction Corps, who did an audacious attack against our own fleet, as you can see from the video included in this message. We attacked to force regimine change, and with the war, we succeeded. Right now their government is in legal turmoil, which will make it harder to organize a terrorist cell like the Reaction Corps.

Secondly, the Northern Colonies joined us in this attack, because of both the attacking R.C. fleet because they flew N.C. flags before attacking. They also attempted to assasinate the Northern Colonist Prime Minister and his senior advisors. In the end however, it turned out that the threat ended up not against Farmina, but the Northern Colonies. The Northern Colonies is currently lead by a very corrupt neo-conservative party, who's only reasons for not giving in to minor sanctions and going to full out war, was to simply save political face. This, along with crimes against humanity, we are trying to remove this other corrupt power structure.

As a solitary nation, I ask your nations: should we work together to help one of your fellow members? Take care of this insolent rogue nation? Protect your interests? As well, I ask your nations, should I join your rightful cause, and give my strong army to this powerful body of nations?

I bid you goodday. I hope you will consider my offer.

- Grand Director Jason Snyder
Militia Enforced State



Director Snyder,

Well does the Empire and the members of GAPTS remember MES's involvement in the war against the Black and Grey Imperium. I consider it an honor to aid you and Tarlag in your war against The Northern Colonies. You can count on the help of Xeraph, Auralinia, The Black Katanas, and The Grey Phoenix.

regards,

Vlad, Prince of the Empire, Regent of The Grey Phoenix, in the Name of the Emperor.

Militia Enforced State
Private Communique

To: Tarlag, Auralinia.
From: Reagan Hamilton, Second Director, Militia Enforced State.
CC: James Palmer, Greater Republic of Farmina

To the leaders of Tarlag and Auralinia.

I will be co-ordinating most of the assault against the Northern Colonies. I will be attending the meeting, as soon as we are given the co-ordinates and location of where you wish to meet.

I am looking forward to working with a new ally.

- Second Director Reagan Hamilton
Militia Enforced State

OCC: Please got to Allies meet in Tarlag for the planning session.

October in Tarlag was very pleasent. Early fall, just beginning to get a little on the cool side in the evening. Commander Riker stepped out of the armored transport and took a quick look around, then motioned to the people inside the vehicle.

Two men stepped out of the transport. One was Ricala, King of Tribal Auralinia, the other, Alaric, King of Xeraph and Emperor of the Xeraphian Empire. They were first cousins, though two different personages would be hard to contemplate.

Ricala, the thinker, diplomat, statesman. Known for his sense of justice and mercy. Appointed by the Emperor as Director of the Xeraphian Space League, he had taken the fledgling League from a few shuttle craft to a first-rate Space Fleet in just 82 years. The Typhon Expanse and the Taieuun Expanse were now about 23% settled, with six inhabited planets in each Expanse.
As Ricala glanced around the wooded setting, he heard his cousin grunt, letting out a soft curse. " Problems, Alaric?", he asked with a wry smile.

"No problems, Ric. Just getting a bit old. Can't seem to jump around like I used to." Alaric Tan'it, King of Xeraph, Protector of Avignon, Scion to the Scandinvan States, Imperator of the Xeraphian Empire, came and stood by his cousin.

He stood 7'2", sturdily muscled, garbed as was his custom in the armor of the Shadow Legions, long hair tied at the nape of his neck, swords and sidearms glistening and ready for use. "You know I hate this stealth shit. I prefer to just show up and deal with what ever comes along."

"Yes, but this time we have reports of possible terror units trying to gain entrance to the meeting with Tarlag and MES. Precautions were necessary."

"Does Ozgood know we're here?"

"He will in...10 seconds."

The transport had arrived undetected by anyone in a heavily wooded area just south of the Tarlagian capitol. A quick scan showed that there were no biologics within eight miles of the LZ.

"Explain to the Duke that our arrival this way was necessary. What with Azulun on the prowl, no one's safe."

As he finished speaking, Alaric heard off in the distance the hum of dual Triton engines. "Ah, the gunships come. The Duke...ever efficient. Are we ready?"

Ric and Commander Riker were. He was handed his AK47mkIII and the trio stepped out into a small clearing, awaiting the HCGSs which would take them to the meeting................

There were three others who were as anxious to get into Tarlag as were the Xeraphians, but they were having difficulties doing so, as they hadn't the technology possessed by Xeraph to slip in undetected.

To call them "men" would be misleading. They were Hominis Nocturnis, men of the night......vampires. And not just any vampire led them. Azulun, former High General of Vhammpyr, renegade Lord of Baael, rebellious leader of the Black and Grey Imperium which had nearly conquered Comatica and had caused the death of millions of GAPTS citizens, was scowling as he tried to bypass the detection units around the capitol of Tarlag. " Fucking garbage", he growled. "Alaric once again evades me. But one day....one day."

"My Lord Azulun, there are two Tarlagian helicopters headed for a site in a wooded area south of the capitol. Orders?" This from Rahon, General of the Horde, also a renegade of the Black and Grey Imperium. The third creature was Tsaphon, the Unknown One, sinister OverLord of the Pagan Borderlands. All three were blood-thirsty, merciless warriors who would stop at nothing to see the demise of the Xeraphian Emperor and the ruin of his Empire.

"No, Rahon, there is nothing we can do at this point. We will just keep on tracking them and the other rulers of that pig-empire of theirs until the perfect situation shows itself. Patience, patience........"

A naval communications officer hurried into the Duke's privet chamber.
" My Lord I have just received a report from Logistical Command that
Emperor Alaric and King Ricala have landed in a small transport several miles from here."
Grand Duke Ozgood looked up from the computer monitor where he was following the meeting between Admiral Dayron and General Wilcox.
"Alric is up to his old tricks again I see, we spend billions of Grots on detection gear and he can land on our door step with out being noticed.
Commander have Alric's Party brought here then prepare my personal transport to take us all to the H.D.S. Saratoga and the meeting."
"My Lord I thought you were going to have Dayron handle that meeting?"
"The Emperor of Xeraph has just bumped that meeting up a notch.
Also put DEST on alert and inform the Knights of Ironhold of what is going on if Alric is in town trouble is sure to follow."

The gunships found them waiting in a small clearing. One of them continued to circle the immediate area, the other landed about 200 feet from the trio of Xeraphians. Alaric turned to Riker and said, "Commander, stay here with the transport. I'm sure Ozgood will want to leave a small contingent here also. And Commander, if you engage them in a friendly game of poker, keep it on the up-and-up. These people are not only allies, but friends. We don't need any international incidents."

"Aye, sir, understood. No fleecing of any Tarlagians. Got it", Riker said with a mischievious grin.

Alaric shook his head as if sensing trouble, then turned to Ricala. "Let's go, Ric. We don't want to keep the Duke waiting." They both saluted the captain of the HCGS and hopped aboard. As the gunship lifted off, the other that was circling got into position to land. The last thing Alaric saw was Riker waving to the Tarlagians, a pack of cards in his hand............

The Gunship landed on the heli pad out side of the Duke's Keep.
Alaric and his party were greeted at the base of the pad by a Captain in the Crimson Ravens ( The Dukes personal guard). " My Lords I am Captain Richard Swiftblade and I wish to welcome you to Vashon Keep. If you will please step this way."
As the party moved forward the escort of four more Crimson Ravens armed with micro Galils fell into step. They entered the keep through the east gate into the Moon Garden which was alive with color this time of year. The party soon came to the great brass doors of the main manor house. The guards at the doors came to attention as the party approached. The great doors swung open as if by magic and framed within them was the Grand Duchess Ellen.
The Duchess gave the approaching men a huge smile " Alaric, Ricala what a pleasant surprise please come in Ozgood is expecting you in his inner sanctum. " As the Duchess turned to lead the men into the house it became oveous that she was with child, at least 4 months pregnant. " It is great to see you both here but I wish you had told us you were coming I would have prepared a very warm welcome after all the hospitality you have shown us." Soon after going up the grand staircase they came to a cypress wood door with dragons carved into them. The Duchess knocked and a muffled come in was heard.
Ozgood stood up from behind his desk and walked over to shake the hand of both men. "God it is good to see you both. Please sit down before we leave we have somethings to discuss. First what is this about a possible terrorist attack?"

The Duke liked to live well. It was obvious that a woman's touch had been applied to the decor, but not overly so. The rich carvings, tapestries, marble statues....all very impressive. 'I'll have to liven up the place when we get back', Alaric thought. 'Too much macho shit back home. Maybe I can get Priscilla to help.' Now THERE was a pleasent thought. He hadn't seen the Duchess in quite a while. He made a mental note to contact her.

He brought his attention back to the Duke and Duchess. "Congratulations, m'lord. Looks like it won't be too long before you have an heir." He nodded at the Duchess, who blushed and stifled a giggle.

"I see your guards are carrying Galils. How do they match up to the AK's?"

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been around for so long. It seems we have a war. Hmmmm...not sure what to do.

Hey N Y C...welcome back. Yeah, another war. But it's about time GAPTS got back into the swing of things. If you want to join the fun, just start posting. BTW, Auralinia has temporarily taken the place of Xeraph. I haven't been able to log Xeraph onto the forums for almost 3 months because of the JOLT mess.

"Ever the warrior Alaric, Most of my troops us H&K products G-36's, G-33,
G-41's, MP-5's and MP-53's. The Commander of my personal guard prefers the Galil so that is what they go with. We have never been huge fans of the AK's due to the lack of accuracy and H&K of Tarlag never went after the license for the AK."

"So gentelmen may I offer you a drink?"

OOC: Tarlag; if you want them to post in your thread, normally it helps to give them a link. He wants you to attend here:

On behalf of the members of GAPTS, and at the direction of Emperor Alaric Tan'it of Xeraph, I welcome our old and dear friend The Burnsian Desert as a member of the Grand Alliance of Peace Through Strength. We look forward to renewing our ties to TBD.

respectfully,

Ricala, King of Auralinia, Director of the Xeraphian Space League.

The Burnsian Desert is elated to know that our friend Xeraph is still a player on the world stage. Know that the Xeraphian submarine base north of Twin Cities is still fully operational, and we look forward to seeing Xeraphian ships arriving soon.

As to GAPTS matters, what should our nation do to get started?

ooc: up until about 6 weeks ago, I had just 1 'puppet': The White-Robed Monks. Then, two anally-retentive nations made a big deal over the fact that most of the nations of Mercenary Lands were posting from the same bank of computers. Basically, I was accused of 'dog-piling' and the poor things didn't want to play with me. The actual 'owners' of the other 7 nations ( all relatives of mine) were so disgusted by the paranoid antics of these two nations that they told me that they were quitting NS and that if I wanted their nations to survive, that I would have to take them over. I have made several announcements to that effect over the past couple of months. The only nation in ML I don't control is Vhammpyr.


IC: The Emperor is gratified that our 'missing' sub-base is still operational. And rest assured, all of TBD's forces are alive and well and esconced on Burns Island, 47 miles off of the north-west coast of Xeraph.

Prince Vlad has directed Generals Wilcox and Garcy to relocate RXCBGs 29 and 67 to ports in TBD. As a Xeraphian CBG includes BattleCarriers, also included are Mamba, Rattlesnake, and Cobra fighters as well as Comanche and Apache HCGSs. RX Battleships and Missile Destroyers also carry 575 Royal Marines on each vessal.

As TBD is now a full-fledged member of GAPTS, the only thing we ask is that you be ready to respond to a call for help from another member, or from a non-member who seeks our aid. If from a non-member, you must post a request for a concensus/vote after explaining the non-member's situation.

Ricala
