OOC: Diplomacy here

IC: New Jersey would like to form an alliance with its neighbors.

Governor Ballard sat at his desk. Things were going rather well since the Union collapsed, and for the most part, things were in order. For the moment, though, Alabama and Georgia were in what he considered ruin. However, before any of the Confederacy's troops could even think of making a move, he had to make arrangements; the arrangements only a politician could manage. He reached to the phone and punched several numbers in. He would need Florida's help if he hoped for much of anything, and an alliance would need to be in order, lest they consider any movements to the east a threat.

"Uh yes, would Governor Baker happen to be in this morning?" Ballard began as he spoke with the secretary.

Rebel Scum...

After a government is settled in Austin, the President is thinking of expnading and making new friends. He sends messages to the Governors of Oklahoma, Louisana, and New Mexico about joining the new fledgling nation. It says that we would like your state to take into concideration joining The Republic of Texas.
A message is also sent to former Mississippi and Florida about diplomatic relations. It states that the Republic of Texas shows no aggression towards your nation in any ways. We wish to expand our friends during these testing times. We hope you will respond to this message.

@Texas


To: Government of Texas
From: Governor Baker


We welcome diplomatic relations with Texas.

To: The Republic of New Jersey
From: The Republic of Ohio

We would be interested in an alliance with you, as our two new nations are extremely similar.

Pennsylvania is now a dictatorship that gives huge civil rights. People may sell and hire whores, smoke anything they want and do any drugs they want unless people request they stop, where the person must do said things in a location away from others. Gambling is of course leagal.

To: Michigan, Pennsylvania
From: Ohio

As our southern neighbors are in a state of dissaray, I hope that we can conquer that problem, together. All the Great Lakes region needs to work together, else there will be endless wars. I propose to you a confederacy, an example for all others to follow, for all the Great Lakes nations to join. We are now expanding our control down through the mississippi, and already control the Ohio. Together, in a Confederacy of the Great Lakes, we can control most of the former US's waters. Please consider my offer carefully, I beg of you.

OOC: Note, this is not joining together in one nation. It is like the origional USA, under the Articles of Confederation

We will accept your offer.

To: Pennsylvania
From: Ohio

Thank you, we have invited Michigan and will now invite all other Great Lakes nations.

Governor Romney reads of Gov Corzine's letter asking for an alliance, and promptly issues a reply.

"We in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would like to join in an alliance with New Jersey, seeing as how our mutual interests are at stake."

Hawaii would like peace with its neighbors across the ocean

To: Nevada
From: California

We are neighbors and would like to know if you would consider forming an alliance called The Great Western Alliance.

To: Hawaii
From: California

We would like to have peace with you. Also we just sent a request to Nevada to form The Great Western Alliance and would like to know if you want to be part of it.

sorry, but i just took pennsylvania :-p

OOC: rotfl Nevada just turned into Pennsylvania not knowing either way hed get involved in kewl alliances

To:
* Illinois
* Indiana
* Minnesota
* New York
* Wisconsin

From: The Confederacy of the Great Lakes

Body: As you may have noticed, Ohio and Pennsylvania have come together in confederation. We noticed the dissaray south of us, and vowed that it must not happen to our beutiful lands. We can exert control over much of the former nation if we stick together through peace and through war. Our Great Lakes cousins, we invite you to join us in the Confederacy of the Great Lakes.

Signed:
The Republic of Ohio
The Free State of Pennsylvania

To:California
From:Hawaii

The people of Hawaii would be glad to join The Great Western Alliance. Hopefully, our trading as a partnership will grow. We thank you for the invitation and accept.

We shall form an alliance together? And Delaware is also invited.

New Jersey is much concerned about the recent changes in its neighbor Pennsylvania.

Gov. Romney seconds this. Massachusetts continues to be a center of liberal thought, and to the people of Massachusetts, news of the anarcho-capitalist-dictatorial amalgam being made is appealing to a few, but offensive to the rest.

"Yes, Governor Baker, I've got a few questions for you. Well, more like a big proposal. See, since the fall of the Union, we've both been doing rather well. And, well, seeing that Alabama and Georgia aren't exactly doing too great, we here in Mississippi are preparing for an offensive over the border and into Alabama. The way I see it, we'd do just as good if you'd so take it upon yourself to work up from Florida and into Georgia, so that way we could effectively take over the Southeast Gulf states. Of course, we also have our plans for Louisiana, but I feel those don't really need to be disclosed at this point. So, what do you say, Baker, shall we?"

From: Revolutionary Leader Firuza Salehi of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Michigan

We'd rather not be part of this confederacy directly, as it could lead back to what we worked to get rid of. However, we would like to ally ourselves with your confederation, so we can curb the rednecks and their craziness.

OOC: lol

To New Jersey: For the time being we shall consider ourselves "friendly" with you, but will abstain at forming a true political alliance.

To Michigan: We respect your desicion, and hope you will be a good friend.

subscribing, sory for this useless waste of space

To: Florida

We welcome this news. We wish to send a diplomat in a few days to setup a embassy in Tallahassee. That is if it is alright with you.


We have recieved word from Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Oklahoma and Louisiana governors have agreed to our proposal, but they say that they want their councils to agree as well. But they will probably accept it within a few days. Unfortunatly New Mexico has stated they need more time to come to a decesion. In a few days they will contact us again with a response.


To: All Northern States
From: Republic of Texas

The Republic of Texas would like to remain in good standings with all its neighbors to the north. Please respond to this if you would like to work on our diplomatic relations.

Thank you,
President Rick Perry

I would like to meet with you in the near future.

Upon the request of the Republic of Ohio, Governor Ballard has insisted that the meeting be in Jackson, not Cleveland.

How about a neutral place in Trenton, New Jersey?

We propose Memphis, TN.

Fine. Governer Lanzen will be there.

I am just making sure that our ties are well. Please reply after getting this me this message. Thank you

the thread tools thing doesnt pop down for me

Oh thats a problem sometimes.

A few days pass and we recieve word from the Oklahoma and Louisiana Governors. They called to tell us that their councils have decided to pass the bill proclaiming the addition of their states into the Republic of Texas. We also recieved word from the New Mexico Governor he said that New Mexico would like to remain a free state for now, but in a few months the council will reconsider the offer and vote once more.
The armed forces of both states are kept in their respected states under the direct control of the Defense Secretary in Austin. The Governors of both states will remain Governors of their states and keep the states organized and in control.


To: California, Arkansas, & Hawaii
From: Republic of Texas

The Republic of Texas would like to improve its diplomatic relations with your nation. We would like to send a ambassador to your capital to setup a embassy in your city. Please reply to this message as soon as you have recieved it.

Thank you,
President Rick Perry

OOC: We can randomly absorb states into us?

IC: After a meeting with the Heads of State of Kentuckey and West Virginia, them and Pennsylvania have joined together in the United Free States.

No no no! The USA BROKE UP! The states aint just gonna form back together.

OOC: I know I never said this but I will now. There will be NO NPCs unless we really need them. The only way to get more territory is pure conquest. Here's where NPCs come in. When you are attacking a state, someone will have to play that state. Also, if you are conquering only part of a state, try doing it by county. I'm looking for a county map to help you with that. Looking up counties isn't hard just type in any town into wikipedia and it should give you the county its in. Go to the county's article and you should get to the others somehow. Also, you should know at least most of your state's counties unless it has 1500 like Texas...(they don't actually have that much, but a lot).

OOC:good

Ok then, Will someone RP as Louisiana and Oklahoma?

OOC: I can temp as OK and LA, sure.

IC:

The Oklahoma Legislature, pressured by its oil and agricultural lobbies to remain independent, declines the offer of union. Louisiana, however, still recovering from the Hurricanes of 2006, is sympathetic to an offer of unification, though it asks what are the benefits.

To: Louisiana

The benefits of the unification would be that your citizens get full acess to the Texas oil production and reserves, we could help by using our Urban Development funding to restore those areas still effected by the Hurricane of 2006,we have open jobs, so we could offer new jobs to your citizens that are in need of them, and imediate aide from natural or man made diasters. Is there anything that you might want that I didn't list?

President Rick Perry

I belive Sel said "conquest was neccisarry?:headbang:

OOC: Yes, pure conquest and also, please remember that this is a pseudo-world and disasters don't really need to be cleaned up. We're jsut using the states' statistics, mainly.

President Rick Perry

The Louisiana Legislature debates the idea of unification, but it is defeated by the narrowest of margins (a main thought in the process is possible Mississippian intervention).

The Mississippi Legislature warns Texas that any attempts to expand its territory past the Mississippi River and/or New Orleans will be met with the harshest of consequences.

In the same statement, the Legislature praises the government of Louisiana in its stand to remain independent of the imperialist Texans.

OOC: Yes, pure conquest and also, please remember that this is a pseudo-world and disasters don't really need to be cleaned up. We're jsut using the states' statistics, mainly.
no... it has to be somewhat realistic.

Yes, don't say you have 3 million soldiers when your population is 500,000. This is meant to be free not limited by real life stuff other than population, GDP, etc.

Governor Ed Ballard walked into the great hall of the Memphis Legislature building. He made a quick turn, into a much smaller room, which was to be the point for talks between Ohio and himself. What would happen? He didn't know, much less did he care. He knew what his state was doing, and as far as he was concerned, any other state could whine and complain all they wanted. Ballard took his seat and awaited his opponent.

"Yes, Governor Baker, I've got a few questions for you. Well, more like a big proposal. See, since the fall of the Union, we've both been doing rather well. And, well, seeing that Alabama and Georgia aren't exactly doing too great, we here in Mississippi are preparing for an offensive over the border and into Alabama.

Of course, we also have our plans for Louisiana, but I feel those don't really need to be disclosed at this point. So, what do you say, Baker, shall we?"


Baker nodded to himself. "I shall revoke my claim to neutrality, and join you in this venture."

OOC: NO

I, Greyson Postman, Secretary of Information of the Federated Commonwealth of Virginia, am announcing that Virginia is seeking allies, against the claws and tentacles of territorial expanionists, such as Pennsylvania. We are also creating the Federated Union of North American States, to bring greater security to the continent. The capital shall be placed either in Washington City, or Omaha. On a seperate note, D.C. is currently being occupied by Virginian troops.

OOC

Omaha?

Heh, that is my largest city...

The Mississippi Legislature warns Texas that any attempts to expand its territory past the Mississippi River and/or New Orleans will be met with the harshest of consequences.

To: Mississippi

We respect all claims to the east of the Mississippi to you. We intend on capturing Louisiana in whole. After the conflict, we will cede all lands east of the Mississippi to you, just as a show of trust. Well, except Baton Rogue and New Orleans, but all other lands to the east will be ceded to you. Can you accept these terms?

New Jersey wishes to remind Virginia that we disbanded the union and shouldn't try to start again. We instead offer the mutual defense pact known as the Atlantic Alliance (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=492493), sponsored by New Jersey and Massachusettes.

Texas:

Do warned that if the sovereign state of Louisiana does so call upon our aid in resistance to your imperialist moves, we will proceed with operations across the river.

All current and future operations against Louisiana have be halted, attention has now turned back to Oklahoma. The 1st Cavarly Division and 4th Infantry Division have been moved to the border along the Red River. 40,000 troops, over one hundred M1A1 Abrams tanks, and Humvees wait for the order to cross the border into Oklahoma. The 7th Bomb Wing is mobilized and is ready to strike with JDAM guided missiles.

We wish to seek alliances with any and all former states. If interested in becoming an ally, send a message to President Rick Perry.
