ooc: Azaha, who 'owns' India, told UE to run his nation until he got back from Bootcamp. Now, Azaha claimed that he would be back for a good 2 weeks for winter break (Which has come and passed), leaving the nation still in the hands of UE.

To sum it up: Azaha has basically been gone longer than I was,yet his nation is still being preserved. I have already asked for his claim to be disbanded, but I met considerable resistance.Seems as if our fellow members want to keep Azaha in EV until he returns--which looks like it will be sometime in the summer. Fair? Nuh-uh.

IC: The EMpire, in potential resolution to the barring of allied troops from the Himalayas, offers to administer, secure,and run any and all land that would be potentiallytaken in such an offencive, keeping FOAM out of Asia, and placing Great Romeo's two greatest allies in adjacent territory.

[ooc: I'm tempted to leave Azaha and Warta Endor out of the conflict completely... as they are both rather prominent allies currently detained for their personal reasons. In any case, why are guys looking at Nepal and Bhutan? Bangladesh doesn't even border that territory there...]

SIC to ALM: I am aware of these dangers, sir, but my people wanted blood. In recent polls taken in Burkina Faso, the majority of people have replied that they are much happier in the CWAA than under their former government, the minority of these being the aristocracy of Former Burkina Faso. Should the liberation movement, which may I also add, is shrinking in size, attack again, we will just do as we have always done and hunt them down like the rats they are. I do not mean to be harsh in this reply but I have been quite stressed out lately with my work of rooting out cells in the Malian desert and Burkina Faso with my Comrade Generals.

OCC: I plan to do an IC post, but since India seems to be coming up in discussion a lot this should answer all questions. For one, I don't control India, I'm merely along with the other members of the EATO alliance watching over it until Azaha returns. Azaha specify stated he wanted no one control it or in his own words "And anything else that would seem off the wall, but otherwise wouldn't put India between a rock and a hard place." Vineyard, I know you want it dismiss it but, Azaha did work it out with the mods and other players ahead of time to watch over his nation to make sure it was here when he returned. He even gave specify rules. I wasn't here when you first left (disappeared), so I can't say for sure if you went to as much trouble as him to make sure your nation was left intact.

Samtonia was given economic control over India. Now, I don't know how Azaha would react sense a lot has changed since he left but, I don't think he be to happy with hostile forces on his borders. So, the only way for you guys to get to Nepal would be to fly, that requires permission from Azaha to fly over his Air Space and since he's not here to answer either way the answer is no. Nepal sits between, India and China-both major powers in the region. Azaha also has stated he had plans to invaded Nepal- so you invading Nepal he would more then likely bring down his army on you. However, since he's not here I would gather a coalition to kick you out of Nepal. So, in other words Nepal is off limits or proceed at your own risk.

As promised here are the posts in question about what Azaha stated be done with his country. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11695262&postcount=64 and http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11695966&postcount=88.

OCC: And now for the IC post I promised. I've been wanting to do these posts for ages. Over a month-I was going to do a RP but, a single post should address it. Note, the post will mostly be SIC as this comes deep from within my government and the secret projects they have been working on.

SIC: Today, like any day in the Indian Ocean would start out normal. By, mid-afternoon however, the fate of the world would forever be changed. For years the Cocos (Keeling) Islands had been a quiet set of islands inhabited by fewer then 600 people. In the coming moments that quietness would be shattered forever and with it the islands taking their place in the halls of infamy.

After years of work on the project and the relocation of the inhabits of the Islands the test was ready to begin. Everything was checked and double checked, there was no room for error. After a few tense moments the countdown was started.

5...
4...
3...
2...
1...

Suddenly, the once peaceful North Keeling Island was blanketed with a bright white light. Followed a few seconds later by a shock wave of air as the atmosphere it self submitted to the genius of man. As the bright white light turned back into normal daylight, a small white cloud was seen rising high into the atmosphere. Image (http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/France/Murroa1.gif)

For miles, could the light be seen. However, inside the bunker on Horsbourgh Island there was nothing but celebration. The Test had been a success. After, years of hard work everything had gone according to plan. Only after analyzing the data from today’s test would another test be even considered or conducted. Until such time it was business as usually, as part of his job the lead sciencetist made a simple note into the records. A vast understatement on what had just been achieved.

"Test Name-Odin; Time-3:25 P.M. local time; Test Type-surface; Yield (Kt)-20; Result-successful"

With the test a success, a public message would be needed and as such work began on such a statement. However, one thing was certain- the reaction to the test was going to be mixed. Whatever, the reaction- the nations of the world would take heed that the Republic had officially joined the Nuclear Club.

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

IC: After a year of hard work and with the cooperate efforts of the French Military and Government, a local produced strategic bomber based on the B1B Lancer had come into being. Constructed completely from European resources, it's local designated was to be known as the Eurobomber. Though, only a few prototypes have been built, a fully operational verse was expected to enter service within a year after testing was completed. 16 orders have been placed by the Republic and an unknown number by the UCF. More orders might be placed depending on the requirements of each nation. Whether, the aircraft will be open for export orders is still in debate.

The Eurobomber once operational, will give the EATO alliance the ability to strike targets at long range, well beyond the range of the fighters in service.

Now, I know some of you are going to say. You can't build that. Well, yes I can and I will explain how next post. So, if you doubt I can build that-well we can build it as I asked for the help of my ally and split the cost with him. Just, type I doubt that is possible and I will explain. If, you believe I can build that- then that's good because then I don't have to explain. Anyways, expect to here more on those two things and more. If, you all been wondering what I have been working on for years your answers are about to be answered.

IC alert!!!!


The Emirate seismologists have detected an immense earthquake, with its epicenter situated nearly directly on top of a RUN possession, known as North Keeling Island. While our geologists have spent their first early hours trying to decode the incident, we are certain that the quake will certainly trigger a tsunami, with the eastern coast of Africa plain in sight! We urge all peoples to take alert to these precautions, and seek safety immediately!

The Emirate is attempting to make contacts with the RUN, to see if their territories in the Indian Ocean are still in existence after such a quake - more specifically of their possession in North Keeling Island. We pray to Allah that all is well!

SIC: -Imperial Palace-

Regent Windsor sat back in his chair, sighing. The Nuclear alarm just blared, signifying that a detonation had been picked up by satilite. He pressed a small red botton on his desk.

"Yes my Lord?"

"Get someone from Intellegence down here to explain to me what the fuck is going on..." he lifted his finger off the botton before the page could reply. He ran a hand through his hair, musing.

The doors to his office swung open rather viloently as 4 Intelegence officers waving a stack of papers entered the room. They were all hurridly talking at once, in an incomprehensible fashion.

::CRACK::

A bust of King Tomeslav smacked the smooth limestone floor shattering. The 4officers shut-up and froze, and turned around slowly towards the bust. Regent Windsor closed his eyes, putting his hand over them. The 4 men exchanged glances in a panic. One of them stepped forward.

"My apologies sir. I can..."

"...have someone get a replacement within the week. Its no problem..." Regent Windsor said, gritting his teeth. The damn bust had been 180 years old. "Now what the hell happened?"

'Well sir, we were in a hurry, and in our excitement, First Lt. Dom..."

"NO! WHY DID THE DAMN NUKE ALARM JUST GO OFF!?" Regent Windsor said, getting impatient.

The Officer stepped forward and gently placed a paper he was holding on Windsor's desk. Windsor peered at it. It was a mushroom cloud.

"Whats your name?"

"Lt. Bul..."

"Get this man out of my office." Windsor said, looking at the other 3 officers. 2 of them stepped forward and hauled the shocked Lt. out of the office. The last remaining officer threw his chin up and puffed out his chest. This was his moment to impress.

"Report!" Regent Windsor barked.

"SIR! Nuclear detonation detected on Keeling Islands. We immediately had a satilite pan over to it sir, and sure enough, it was a nuke."

"Who did it?"

"The Republic of the United Nations, sir!"

Windsor's face twitched. He glanced at the picture, then back up at the officer who was still standing at attention. "You mean to tell me that this was a test!?"

'Yes sir!'

"...their first nuclear test..."

"Yes sir!"

Regent Windsor's face molded into a smile.

"They just got nuclear capabilities? And they just tested it! Do you know what that means soldier!?"

"No sir!'

"It means thay are desperate. They are looking for an edge! Shit, I thought they have had them for awhile... How come we recieved no prior indication of a possible Nuclear Program?"

"Sir, Uranium Production in RUN territories are non-existant. The only way we think they could have gotten them are from French Stockpiles, which are running out."

"They should know about our MEADS... They must be targeting our allies. Sharina should have the Patriot Missile System, but its less effective than the MEADS... The Boer Republic probably has limited protection... how many do we have in reserve?"

"We have around 500 in storage sir."

"Re-assemble them, and ship them to the Boer Republic."

"Sir, this is assuming it is ballistic missle carried. What if they use Strategic bombers?"

"They wouldn't. Our fighter's ceiling is one of the highest in the world. At 60,000 feet, the only bomber that can match that is the Lancer, which can also go up to 60,000 ft. And those are possesed by Sharina. No, soldier. We have nothing to fear from bombers."

While you may do it do be nice, we cannot accept such a move by the Vineyardian Empire either. Your country is allied to Capitalist-Sharina, and we don't want to have such neighbors. It's almost as bad as FOAM, even though you also are allied to our friend Great Romeo.

To explain this to you, all in secret of course: Figure that one day, the capitalistic nation of Sharina thinks that Asian China is more powerful than Sharina, and decides to make something to change this. If we strikes first, or strikes back at Sharina - doesn't matter for this example. And if we're having a neighbor who's allied to Sharina, that nation will certainly be used to launch attacks from at Asian China.

Allow me to be brutally frank and personal in this.

There is no way in hell we are about to allow Sharinian Military personnel on 'our' soil during Peacetime. Our 'Allies" are only such because we share a common foe. Otherwise, we are mortal Enemies. Allow me to breifly visit our history, in the muddled fashion it presents itself in:

-Shortly after the Formation of the Empire, Imperial Troops take control of Cuba.

-Years later, Sharina decides that they want Cuba. Pulling the Monroe Doctrine on us, they Invade. The Empire suffers its first defeat as our troops have no naval support. No soldier survives.

-FOAM-EMPIRE war. The Empire, entrenched in Russia, is atrtacked by the FOAM alliance. Sharinian, Warta Endorian, JKD, and Mauiwowian forces storm ashore. The Empire fights a scortched earth war, fighting a 'running battle'. The Empire retreats while inflicting casuilties on FOAM forces. barricades itself in the Irkutsk Inland Peninsula. Then Surrenders. The 1st and 3rd Battlegroups are defeated, and are safly returned to Imperial Soil.

-FOAM-Tenebricosis/Vineyardian War. Fought in France, Africa, and the Pacific. Empire loses chunk of Nambia. 200,000 troops being ferried into S. Asia are nuked by Mauiwowian forces. 10,000 badly irradiated survivors killed by FOAM forces. Empire loses the backbone of its Military in the massacare. Empire launches a nuke in retailiation, leveling an Austrailian City. Hundreds of thousands of FOAM citizens Killed.

-2nd FOAM-Empire war. Consists of 1 large naval battle in which the Empire reigned victorious in the Atlantic. Shortly after, a Sharinian fleet arrives on the scene, destroying crippled ships as the Imperial Navy retreats into the Med. Incursion into Brazil, with 200,000 troops. Army caught in the jungles of Brazil in a valley, and ensuing battle leaves no Vineyardian Survivors. FOAM coalition invades the Middle east, but is repulsed by TOs, Saudi Arabian, Omanese, and Croatian Infantry.

Our conflicts with FOAM has left a resounding scar on Imperial-FOAM relations. If it were not for the current conflict, Sharinian Military Personnel would be shot-on-sight.

So let us assure you. Our "Ally" Sharina has never made amends for its agressive actions against the Empire, and will never be forgiven until it does so (Despite the fact that Imperial Agents had a hand.. a rather large hand... in the Death of the current Technocracy leader's husband...).

We are opposed to Capitilism in ever sence of the word. Our econemy is, as you know, completly self-sustaining. We do not export, nor do we import (Except with TG6R). All markets are Government-controled and clocly regulated. If anything, we are the exact opposite of the Capitilistic nations in the world today.

Never the less, we respect your opinions in the matter. Let us assure you, that despite your rebuking of our efforts to drive the Capitalistic RUN from Asia, if your nation is ever in jepordy, the Empire will stand side-by-side with Asian China in defending its lands.

P.S: Act quickly!

[ooc: actually, I think that I will act very slowly, because there's one problem here that I've realized since committing this... a post-post error [after I posted it...]

TG6R declared a time freeze sometime back, in order to account the war period. In the time since he had declared the time freeze, there have been numerous advances in all parties [more in some than others...], and with the admission that the RUN does have nukes [which can be debated in some fashion... but not here...], there remains the issue of this time freeze.

I am tempted to simply stop all auxiliary threads just to address this one problem, because the conflict has been skirted for a very long time, and unlike NS, RL conflicts come and hit. I don't suppose that the USA asked for Japan to wait until all of its developments were done before a war could commence between them, or in numerous other examples, where one side conceived of an advantage and decisively decided to wait to allow the other to react to their advantage [actually, I can think of an example of this... didn't work so well...].

So here's my point about this - if you want to have a war, get me your declarations ASAP on the OOC thread for the America War and stop maurauding for extra support from other people. Technically, this war has been raging, but people have been waiting to get all of their details in order [which honestly, SHOULD have been in order before the war declared...]. Seeing recent actions, I'm convinced that people are either stalling or not interested in losing a war at all and would rather do other things.

At this point, there are only two options given my tolerance for waiting [as well as yours]: 1 - Recant the declaration of war /// 2 - Get the declarations in order and get on with the war. This may be strict, but I want to get on with my RPing career. The war seemingly affects only those involved, but seeing as nearly every theater of the world is affected [except the Middle East supposedly...], there are more consequences to this war than meets the eye. And I'd like to get them taken care of, so we - as the EV community - can continue with our normal business.]

SIC reply:

The evidence that your intelligence has supplied is distressing, especially to the commitments of a free and right sovereign state. We will prompt the RUN went the time is appropriate. While under other circumstances, we would accept intelligence support, the Emirate is more concerned with the terrorist strike in our capital the past couple of days ago. If the earthquake is not real, then the tsunami threat is not real, and our priorities concern with our immediate national security.

Nonetheless, we will accept their temporary station in Djibouti, the "official" space center of the entire Emirate [albeit in the Abyssinian Protectorate]. There, they can track the events of the nuclear explosion from a closer and more convenient location.

"The Republic of United Nations is now a nuclear weapons state."

"We have the capacity to build nuclear weapons. Though Ours will never be weapons of aggression, threaten the Republic at your own peril".

With the message ended, a new day had truly dawn. Would the nations of the world leave the Republic in Peace, knowing full well it had the power to level it's cities or would aggression be required to force peace on them.

We thank you for the reply. Unfortunatly, our Empire is about ot be embroiled in a war, and in order to ensure the safty of all forign citizsens and the neutrality of your Nation, we would like you to reconsider the location of your Embassy to the Empire. Currently, the only location out of RUN reach is the Middle east. We suggest establishing an embassy in Bhagdad for the time being.

Gaza - several rockets were launched into the city hall, during a session of the city councils. Rockets were also launched into the port, where 3 ships were damaged severely and 1 was sunk at dockside. The events occurred within three minutes, and the chaos that ensued was massively horrific. At least 350 people were reported to have been killed in the rocket attack, mostly after the Gaza City Hall collapsed from the rocket attacks. While Kopparbergs did maintain a military presence around the city, the swift action of the attacks left an inconclusive array of possible suspects until a tape appeared in Tel Aviv:


"Allah with us, we have been given Providence to do justice to the infidels who smear the Holy Lands with their presence and their blasphemy. They are the Jews and the protectors of Christians! And they shall have seen the justice of Allah.

"We are those of Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam - who have pledged to wage war with those who deface the ways of Islam. We have seen the people of Sistan lose the way when they lost courage to fight and to stand. And those infidels of the Red Sea call themselves protectors of Dar al Islam - instead they corrupt it. And indeed, we are those responsible for the actions in the Middle East. Take note - the Jewish tanker off the coast of the Cape Verdes Islands was our doing, and Allah greatly rewarded us with victory. The capital of Moorington has been shown its justice, when they turned against Allah and proclaimed a Christian Monarchy. The capital of Alif Laam Miim pledges to be Muslim, but they make nothing of Jizya and makes friends with the infidels. And we have come to Palestine again, and we will make the world realize that Allah's message is indubitably true.

"We shall strike with vengeance against those who not proclaim Islam, and we shall liberate the Dar al-Islam from the infidels. Those in the places of Europe are not safe from us; the Asiatic realms are not safe from us; the Americas are not safe from us; least of all, the Jews in our land shall be in threat as long as they trespass on our lands! And we will make the nations fall, Allah with us!

SIC/IC: Eurobomber Developmental History

The beginning of the Eurobomber oddly, enough began not in Europe but, in Asia (Russia). The Iberian Netherlands realizing that one day a war would come knocking on it’s very doorstep, a military upgrade program was started. One of those requirements was for the acquisition of a long range strategic bomber. The Netherlands government could either authorize the commencement of a program to build one from scratch or buy some from a foreign power. The latter choice was chosen, all that remain was choosing which bomber to try to purchase. Sadly, the market for Strategic Bombers was small with there being only three types to choose from. The B2, the B1B or the Tu-160. Seeing that the possibility of trying to acquire the B2 or B1B from the Americas would be a waste of time. The Tu-160 Blackjack was selected and an order was submitted to the Russian Government.

Sadly, the Tu-160 was not to be. With the rejection of the order, the Netherlands Government found themselves back at square one. Due to the lack of funds, the project was put on hold for the time being. The hold was not to last long, with the birth of the Republic- new sources of funding had become available. Still, the huge immense task of building a bomber from scratch remained. That is until, one day a bright idea was hit upon. Why, not build a European version of the B1B Lancer tailored to the needs of European Weapons and Systems. The two most difficult tasks of building an aircraft are the engines and the electronics with the Airframe being the third. Though, the engines and the Airframe would be the easiest, the Republic realized it would still need the assistant of the French and Japanese who also had experience in building complex military aircraft.

With the agreement of all powers and the cost being split by 70% of the work done by the Republic and 30% done by the United Citizens Federation. Project- EuroB had began. At, first the project went slow. Though, the engines powering the B1B already had a European version known as the CFM56-5C series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_F101). The engines still had to be fitted to an Airframe. Starting with the known specifications of the B1B, a computer program was run to determine how to build the Airframe. The use of pictures helping to allow comparisons. However, progress still remain slow mostly due to the electronics part of the plane. Only, about 3/4 of the systems used in the B1B were similar or exact copies available to use. However, a few international incidents would solve this problem with the electronics and to a limited extent the Airframe.

On May, 8th (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B1B#Crashes_and_malfunctions) a B1B landed wheels up at Diego Garcia. A B1B, had landed right in the hands of the Republic. Though the aircraft, would eventually be turned back over to the Americans as a sign of good faith on the part of India, who controlled Diego Garcia. Before the aircraft left though, valuable intelligence had been gather on the B1B during it’s 1 week stay in Diego Garcia. The help to the program while not immense, did put the Airframe a year ahead. The second incident, would prove to be the most beneficial. The collapse of the Confederate States of America had opened the door for many possibilities. While, secrets on the B1B could try to be stolen from the Sharina government. The risks were just not worth the rewards, however with the C.S.A. in disorder, these would allow all the benefits without much risk. As, such the contacts the Iberian Netherlands and the Republic had made in the C.S.A. were put into action. Though, the Republic knew it wouldn’t be able to steal outright a fully intact B1B, it could acquire through various means key technical documents on the B1B Lancer. Though the operation was successful, there was a cost to pay and pay the Republic did.

Still, the cost had been worth it. The technical documents acquired on the radars, jamming, communications and navigation equipment alone had been worth it’s weight in gold. To help cover it’s tracks, other technical documents were sought- though most of it turned out to be a failure and not worth the risk, the cover had done it’s job. Though, most of the rest of the operation had turned out to be a failure. Their were successes in other areas namely- information about the F-22 and the F-35, a few missile systems-so on , however the main drive had been towards the electronics gear on the B1B, everything else was not that important. After that, all that was left to do was to assemble it all together into an aircraft and test it. Within a few months, the first prototype had been assembled.

With a project spanning nearly 10 years and the first few prototypes finally coming off the assembly line. The years of hard work had finally paid off. It had been shown that Europe did indeed have the technical knowhow to build anything.

We thank you for the reply. Unfortunatly, our Empire is about ot be embroiled in a war, and in order to ensure the safty of all forign citizsens and the neutrality of your Nation, we would like you to reconsider the location of your Embassy to the Empire. Currently, the only location out of RUN reach is the Middle east. We suggest establishing an embassy in Bhagdad for the time being.

As to establishing an embassy in Asian China, we cordially except. However, we need assurances that the Embassy will be protected and ask to place 15 Imperial Guardsmen within the Confines of the Embassy; for the protection of Embassy officials, materials, and sensitive data. Is this agreeable?

SIC to Vineyard, Regent Windsor:
We accept to establish the Asian Chinese embassy of the Empire of Vineyard in Baghdad, Iraq. The ambassador will be Mr. Su Maozhen.

As for your embassy in Hangzhou, we cannot accept armed guards. Foreigners in Asian China are prohibited to carry guns, and this includes staff at embassies. We can offer Asian Chinese armed guards outside your embassy, to guarantee the safety of the embassy. If we would allow one nation to have weapons inside the embassy, others would follow, and our policy would soon be nullified.

Gaza - several rockets were launched into the city hall, during a session of the city councils. Rockets were also launched into the port, where 3 ships were damaged severely and 1 was sunk at dockside. The events occurred within three minutes, and the chaos that ensued was massively horrific. At least 350 people were reported to have been killed in the rocket attack, mostly after the Gaza City Hall collapsed from the rocket attacks. While Kopparbergs did maintain a military presence around the city, the swift action of the attacks left an inconclusive array of possible suspects until a tape appeared in Tel Aviv:


"Allah with us, we have been given Providence to do justice to the infidels who smear the Holy Lands with their presence and their blasphemy. They are the Jews and the protectors of Christians! And they shall have seen the justice of Allah.

"We are those of Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam - who have pledged to wage war with those who deface the ways of Islam. We have seen the people of Sistan lose the way when they lost courage to fight and to stand. And those infidels of the Red Sea call themselves protectors of Dar al Islam - instead they corrupt it. And indeed, we are those responsible for the actions in the Middle East. Take note - the Jewish tanker off the coast of the Cape Verdes Islands was our doing, and Allah greatly rewarded us with victory. The capital of Moorington has been shown its justice, when they turned against Allah and proclaimed a Christian Monarchy. The capital of Alif Laam Miim pledges to be Muslim, but they make nothing of Jizya and makes friends with the infidels. And we have come to Palestine again, and we will make the world realize that Allah's message is indubitably true.

"We shall strike with vengeance against those who not proclaim Islam, and we shall liberate the Dar al-Islam from the infidels. Those in the places of Europe are not safe from us; the Asiatic realms are not safe from us; the Americas are not safe from us; least of all, the Jews in our land shall be in threat as long as they trespass on our lands! And we will make the nations fall, Allah with us!

After a slight delay, the Emir Jalal al Misri has taken center stage in Al Qahirah to address the world:


"Two weeks ago, terrorists bombed a market on the West Bank of Al Qahirah, killing hundreds of people. Just days ago, these same extremists launched rockets in the city of Gaza. Soon after these barbaric attacks, the extremist group Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam - a wretched play on words of the Most Holy Struggle [jihad] - declared responsibility for the attacks, and a pledge furthermore of attacks on more targets. Ladies and gentlemen of the world, this is a vehement declaration of war upon the established order that seeks to preserve peace. They taunt us with these attacks upon our cities and our people, in the name of Allah, but they know not of Allah! They blaspheme the most Holy, and in an effort to delegitimize us, they sought to appeal to sentiments of decades past. They are the heirs of the Empire of Sistan, and they have spawned a new era to continue their oppression upon the world. And here, we stand now on the brink of conflicts of our world beyond. Be it now, the Emirate hereby acknowledges this war upon the civil order, and vows to retaliate against such barbarism, extremism, and corruption of the Most Holy Way. May Allah add to our numbers against the oppression of them who seek to destroy the Ways that have been given to us.

"In reflection of these atrocities, the Emirate offers its sincere condolences to those affected by the terrorists - namely the people in Moorington, perhaps still recovering from the attacks, and the people in Kopparbergs, having uncovered the culprits responsible for the tanker explosion several years back and the recent rocket attacks in Gaza. But now as vigilant members of the community, we have an opportunity to strike against those who seek our destruction. We must band together against extremists and end their ideologies."

[ooc: The Emir and Emirate present to the world a self-conceived version of moderate Islam - something which I barely understand, even of the more radical ideologies. My effort here is to present not necessarily the most correct but instead the clearest distinction of the gulf between the moderates in Islam and the extremists - so my apologies to those who are offended by its presentation in these posts and in future posts.]

The UARCA strongly protests any such move for testing nuclear weaponry in the Indian Ocean. While it may not affect the Republic of United Nations in any way, the fallout from a nuclear test would easily prove disastrous to any fishing yields expected from the Indian Ocean- fishing yields that many nations depend upon for a large protion of their food.

Furthermore, with nuclear attacks already having happened in Asia, radioactive levels are well beyond natural limits in the region already- and a test will only make things worse! Add to that the environmental damage which will come from any such nuclear test and we are quite frankly apppalled that any nation would even consider an action that is so deleterious to both Asia and Africa! Does the Republic have any decency whatsoever?

Any such test would be an almost fatal blow to any economic or diplomatic channels between the Republic of United nations and the UARCA- and, in all probability, much the same to any country also facing the problems of nuclear contamination or possible nuclear contamination in the region.

Premier Tamur Navarbayevs

The Emirate expresses its concern that the unrestrained testing of nuclear devices in the Indian Ocean expresses a blatant disregard for the welfare of those citizens inhabit those territories. We feel that if the RUN feels that nuclear testing is necessary, they can choose more viable sites with less threats to spread reckless radiation damage, especially in close proximity to millions of people.

[ooc: I'm trying not to carry the RUN's nuke capability too far, because we're treading on very very very thin ice concerning the technical aspects of what has happened in the war...]

TEST B

SIC: After, nearly a week long voyage the Van Spejk, a Triomphant Class ballistic missile nuclear-powered submarine (SSBN), had finally entered the Indian Ocean. The Van Spejk was merely one of many Triomphant Class Submarines that had been built in secret by French Industries. Keep hidden from the public and international world for nearly a decade, the Van Spejk was about to make it's first public appearance and do it with a bang. Located, just a few hundred miles off the coast of Mauritius-the Van Spejk was preparing for the operational launch of it's Ballistic Missiles for the first time. For the coming test, the M45 ballistic missile would be unarmed. Though an armed test was planned for now just seeing all the systems function properly was the main goal of TEST B. With all systems checked and double checked, the test was ready to get under way.

“This is not a drill, This is not a drill-man your stations and prepare for weapons release.” For, a ship that was once lurking quietly under the water. The sudden rise in activity was duly noted by all aboard, both those manning their stations and those in their bunks. With everyone at the ready, the countdown was started. As the countdown ended, the quietness of the ocean was disturbed as the missile was loudly and without warning ejected towards the surface. Within seconds, it’s first of three stage motors ignited sending the missile towards the black vacuum that was space.

After nearly 3 minutes passing, the third and final stage had ended sending the 6 MIRV’s on towards their unstoppable destination. Within less then a minute after the final stage had ended, the 6 empty MIRV’s had found their target crashing into various points all along North Keeling Island. The first of a series of tests had worked to perfection. Soon, the final test would take place and the world would know once and for all, that the Republic of United Nations was deadly serious about protecting it’s sovereignty at all costs.

The Sharina Technocracy issues a retort based upon the Republic's comments.

"Forced relocation of citizens? Does that not take us back to the Holocaust? Relocating citizens aganist their own will? Sharina has never attempted to forcibly relocate citizens aganist their will. We believe that people have a right to live where they choose to live. Take the Caribbean for instance- we do not forcibly move the people on remote islands to more civilized islands. We bring civilization to them instead.

Why does the Republic not do underground nuclear testing? Underground testing has much less enviromental impact as opposed to aboveground testing. Irradiated dust does not float up and away from the point of testing if the testing was underground. The water will not be radiated, thus resulting in lifeform mutation or mass-dying of oceanic life. Rainstorms, winds, and jet streams will not carry the radiation up to more populated areas. If the roles were reversed, Sharina would be doing underground testing instead of aboveground testing because we would not wish to inflict horrendous effects upon unsuspecting people and enviroments from mere testing.

As far as we know, the Republic does not possess or own any claimed islands within the Indian Ocean. Therefore, it could be construed as an attack upon the sovereign territory of the Indian ocean island populace, regardless of their forced relocation or not. What next? Declaring open season for any weapons testing on any and all small islands anywhere in the world? Do small populations and small islands not have the right to determine their course of action? Do they suddenly mean nothing at all? How would you like it if a foreign nation just up and decides to take you out of your humble small hut on an island paradise just so they can test a new bomb or such, regardless whether you say "NO!"? Does small island populaces have no equal rights or have a say for their own homes in the world anymore? This reeks of anti-democracy, whereas the RUN professes itself to be a democracy, particularly with how the nation operates.

Simply put, nations should not have their way with much smaller nations whichever and however they please at any time. The only exception to this would be warfare, but the RUN is not exactly declaring war and attempting to annex these lands. Instead, they're just dropping a bomb on the island, damn whoever may live there and trample their rights via forced relocation. Even though some may accuse Sharina to be imperialist and expansionstic, we do not trample upon small nations such like this. We do not forcibly relocate residents. We do not drop nuclear bombs on pristine islands. We bring first-class living standards *to* island dwellers instead of moving the islanders to civilization. Even if Sharina is engaged in war with small islands, we do our best to minimize the casaulties to military personnel, and go to great pains to avoid civilian casaulties, then help the locals rebuild their island afterwards."

The Republic responses, no citizen has been forcibly moved. The various governments of the Republic don't approve of force location of any people unlike the Sharina government who has forcibly relocated many peoples throughout it's history, the American Indies and those of Japanese dissent living in the United States at the time of World War Two. It's a sad day indeed, when the Sharina government can't even remember it's own nation's history and condemns another nation for an act itself has committed.

Why has the Sharina Government not signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty? The Republic of United Nations doesn't tell you how to conduct it's policies, we expected the same courtesy. The size and location of the tests will have limited impact on the environment, as the Republic doesn't have to conduct over 1,000 tests as the Sharina Government has.

As far as the Republic knows, the Sharina Government is not familiar with the geography of the Indian Ocean and the many nations that inhabit the area. However, the ignorance of the Sharina Government about the people who inhabit the world outside the Americans is not the concern of the Republic.

The Republic has never claimed to be a democracy, but merely a form for the nations of the world to gather together for the common good. Any nation is free to join or leave the Republic at any time. The reeking of anti-democratic traditions the Sharina Government smells is that of it's own.

The Republic is not accusing the Sharina Government of being imperialist and expansionist, the Sharina's Government actions have done that for itself. The Republic of United Nations stopped listening to the Sharina's Government propaganda lies many years ago. The Republic has tried to work and compromise with the Sharina Government, only to meet resistant and hostility on the part of the leaders of the Sharina Government.

If war should ever come between our peoples, the Republic will do all in it's power to avoid civilians losses in the nation of Sharina as the Republic knows that the Sharina people have nothing, but good will for the Republic as the Republic has nothing, but good will for the Sharina people. It, is the Sharina Government that is hostile and not it's people. Sadly, the Republic knows that the Sharina Government will not show the same restraint in targeting civilians as the Republic will.

Still, it is the hope of the Republic that war can be averted by whatever means and a friendly and peaceful relationship develop between the various members of the Republic and the Sharina Technocracy.

President Jintao,

We will gladly increase our petroleum exportation immediately to met your nation's need of 2,100,000 bbl/day. Our price for your nation would be 32.26 USD/bbl.

Our petroleum is the focus of our interior policy this year. Our current pipeline operator operating under government subsidies, Petrom, will be incorporated into Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS), our state-owned petroleum company. NIS will have full government support in reaching a national 10.00 million bbl/day mark by the end of this year through expanding operations.

We also have begun construction on the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean oil pipeline, due to be complete in 26 months.

IC:

The Emirate sympathizes with the CWAA, and hopes that this freak accident will not turn their opinion against using rail transportation, and furthermore supporting the Pan African Railway project [which is perpetually in a state of not-being-able-to-be-consented-upon...].

======

The Emirate furthermore urges the RUN and Sharina to find amicable terms to decide what the other is, instead of making accusatory tones to decisively implant ideas upon that other state. Such childish semantics is unlikely to lead to a neutral impasse that will permit cooperation between your two states.

[ooc: a reminder that IC stuff pertinent to the war goes on in the IC thread made for the War... and that furthermore, stuff here does not belong in the war...]

Al Arabiyya Oil Company has some interest in cooperating with the construction of this pipeline. If this interest is reciprocated, please contact us.

======

The PV Program, authorized earlier by the Ministry of State, Ministry of Domestic Affairs, and Ministry of Industry and Economy, has been declared officially Emirate policy. In an effort to curtail the excessive use of petrol products, PV cells are to be installed on all public buildings [i.e. government buildings], off-setting the costs for the energy requirements of these cells. In addition, tax breaks are being given to those who include PV designs in their cocnstruction, either for residential, commercial, and even industrial applications. While economists estimate that the project itself may cost the Emirate substantially, the long-term benefits will save the Emirate billions annually, and the additional petroleum reserve can be used to advance the Emirate's economic requirements.

This project is expected to last for 4 years, and its continuation for all future Emirate public [government] construction plans.

IC: We, now go live to Prime Minister José María Aznar.

My fellow countrymen, our Kingdom, the Kingdom of Iberia has come a long way. We have made friends and we have made enemies, but in all that time our nation has remained isolated for the most part from the rest of the world. The time has now come to bridge that gap and put the past behind us. As of today, I have signed Executive Order G-this order as of tomorrow when it takes effect will terminate our alliance with Gabon, forever.

In the spirt of this change, I make the following pledge. The Kingdom of Iberia will now longer interfere in the affairs of continent Africa and all that this applies. Furthermore, The Kingdom of Iberia hereby officially recognizes the sphere of influence of the Sharina Nation over North America. The Kingdom also recognizes the Reformed Confederacy as a North America power and any future North America state that may come to power. The Kingdom of Iberia pledges that no longer will it concern itself in the affairs and problems that are native to North America.

However, under the Mercosur Doctrine the Kingdom will do all in it's power to protect the free states of South America from outside influence wherever that influence may come from. The Nations of South America have a right to be free and the Kingdom will do all in it's power to protect the nations of South America. Furthermore, I have presented the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with a Resolution that will recognize my pledges through the Republic.

In, closing as I have promised in bridging that gap. As my first act in erecting that bridge, I have order the removal of the wall around Ceuta. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa plans have been drawn up for a tunnel that will connect Mainland Spain (Europe) with that of Morocco (Africa). This tunnel will allow high speed trains to carry both passengers and freight this in turn will bring new prosperity to both Europe and Africa. Construction is scheduled to begin soon.

Good Night and God Bless.

Prime Minister Celestino Bonifacio Bacalé Obiang was furious, the Republic had passed a Resolution that had abandoned his country to the winds. If, the Republic no longer wished to concern itself in the affairs of Continental Africa, then his country would no longer concern itself with the Republic. There were other powers in Africa and Obiang knew it wouldn't be a problem securing an alliance or some form of protection from another Africa power. His course now determine, Obiang made his intentions public. The shock of this action upon the world was to be anyones guess..

As of today, The Republic of Equatorial Guinea officially announces it's withdraw from the Republic of United Nations. For better or worse, Equatorial Guinea will find it's own way in the world.

SIC: With his country again on it's own, it was time to seek out an alliance with a major African Power. Obiang, had picked in his mind the best candidate- they were close, massive and had many friends. As, such- Obiang quietly contacted the Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa to see about the possibility of gaining an alliance or protection status with the Kingdom. For an country that had once threaten to invade his, it was in all sense an ironic twist.

The small-scale tests at Dun'an chemical plant (Anhui Sheng) were very successful, and a report was sent to the Standing Committee of the Politburo in Shanghai.

Jia Qinglin, Chairman of the National Committee of the Asian Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was reading the report and then he was expected to give president Hu Jintao a recommendation of what the Dun'an plant should do in the next step. He picked up his phone and rang the president:

-Hu

-Mr. President, Qinglin here. I've read the report from Dun'an, and they seem to be very successful. They managed to produce Cyclosarin, Sarin, Soman and VX and they also solved the dissemination problem.

-Hmm... Okay, sounds good. What does we need to do next?

-We must make sure that the dissemination works properly. I suggest that we make some tests with both the Dong Fengs and with the C-bombs dropped from H-6 bombers.

-Ok, you can give them the green light to proceed to step b. Make sure that the tests are made on a safe distance from any islands. We don't want the gas spread out near any kind of civilization.

-Allright, sir. I'll take care of the next step. answered Qingling.

The King of Kopparbergs Africa, King Mohammed VI, received the message from Prime Minister Obiang, and he started to work at once. If Equatorial Guinea wants to sign an alliance with Kopparbergs Africa – or even be a protectorate of the Kingdom, they surely shouldn't regret the decision.

King Mohammed VI decided to go to Equatorial Guinea's capital Malabo to meet Mr. Obiang. It was a short trip, as Malabo is on the Bioko Island, just outside the Nigerian coastline.

"Mr. Obiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"The pleasure is all mine" replied Obiang. "Let's go inside and talk."

The two mighty men sat in the conference room for about two hours. When they were done, they both had signed a press release that shortly should be spread around the word – or at least around the African continent:

---

Press release from The Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa and The Republic of Equatorial Guinea

The Republic of Equatorial Guinea has withdrawn from the Republic of United Nations. In this disturbing world, there's no option for such small country as Equatorial Guinea to be totally neutral. You must belong to a defensive alliance, or be a part of a powerful nation – otherwise it's just a matter of time before someone decides to "liberate" you, and take the power in your country.

The Republic of Equatorial Guinea has selected to ask one of their powerful neighbors, The Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa, if they can provide protection for the small central African republic. King Mohammed VI of Kopparbergs Africa didn't hesitate one moment when the question was asked. Instead of just signing a defensive alliance with Kopparbergs Africa, Equatorial Guinea was given the option to be a protectorate of the Kingdom. To be a protectorate to the Kingdom means that the government of Equatorial Guinea can continue to rule the country as they want in all questions but two; foreign politics and defense politics.

From now, The Republic of Equatorial Guinea is a protectorate of The Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa

Signed,

King Mohammed VI of Kopparbergs Africa

Prime Minister Celestino Bonifacio Bacalé Obiang of Equatorial Guinea

-Jungles of Congo-

A large green tent was sprawled on the jungle floor, masked by the foliage above. General Oluwasegun of the 4th, General Otieno of the 6th, and General Orel of the International Legion were meeting inside the command tent. Outside, a dozen soldiers milled about, cooking food, reading a book, or playing cards. A large convoy of camoflagued tanks and APCs waited outside, as the soldiers that manned them idled about.

"We have recieved word from Zagreb. the RUN has abandoned Gabon and Equitorial Guniea to the winds." General Orel said, placing a paper on te central table, and jabbing a hevy set finger on it. "Its open. Our victory is assured."

"Not quite. Although it is doubtless that we can sweep the defences of Gabon and Guinea on the mainland, Guinea will doubtlessly consolidate its defences on their capital island." General Otieno said, shrugging. "There is very little we can do to subdue those defences. Our navy is half a world away! And most of our Ospreys are occupied in Italy. The most we can procure is about 1,000 ospreys. Meaning that in periods of 6 hours, we can land 14,000 troops at a time on that island, against some 50,000 Militia and army forces. Not to mention the heavy military hardware they would posses."

"We need ships then... Or some sort of fire-support. Our planes can only make short runs there, nothing serious in the way of support." General Oluwasegun said, guestering at a map behind him.

"The Cameroonians... Well, we dont need the Island, do we?" General Orel said inquisitivly.

'Not necessairly." General Otieno muttered.

"And most of Equitorial Guniea is bordering Cameroon..." General Orel mused.

"Get at it!" General Oluwasegun barked.

"We achieve our victory by subduing the last vestiges of RUN trained troops, clense the province, then give it to the Cameroonians. It would be a gift to them, if they provide naval support to our troops." General Orel suggested.

"Give away Imperial Land! I think not..." General Oluwasegun replied, angred.

"Jordan, you dolt. We gave away Jordan the Koppersbergs as a sign of Friendship. We can just as easilt give away the smaller province of Equitorial Guinea to the Cameroonians. It would also put us in a favorable light to the International community and especially the government of Cameroon..." General Orel said, clearly getting excited.

'Your plan is sound, but we must wait for not only Zagreb's approval, but the Cameroonian's approval... THEN, and only then, can we move against Guinea. Until then, proceed with Gabon..." General Otieno said, stroking his chin.

'Very well. Until we hear from them both, we proceed with the invasion of Gabon. Meeting Adjourned." General Oluwasegun said, standing at attention and saluting. He then ducked out of the tent, followed clocly by his comerades.

Within moments, the 3 individual columns took off into the jungle, returning to their Battlegroup HQs.

SIC:

The Emirate is very much concerned about the safety of innocents that are likely to be killed during the course of these actions. However, it is to our dismay that sending troops from the Emirate to guard national capitals would be unsound at this moment, for two principal reasons: (1) The presence does not deter any decisive attack upon a nation's capital and only invites entanglements that the Emirate would not wish to see; (2) Putting Emirate troops gives indication to the native populations that their own professional armed forces are not capable of defending their own country. It dampens the home front morale and may not bring any conclusive help to those innocents.


As to the determination of a defense pact, the Emirate will see that such a pact is sound, and that as the United Citizen's Federation is not currently involved in the conflict, we can procure such an agreement as it happens.


=====

We applaud the peaceful change of hands in Equatorial Guinea [ooc: since Guinea is currently occupied by an IC country... albeit currently awaiting action...]. We express our condolences to the RUN for having lost a constituent country, but nonetheless, the Emirate feels that the Kingdom of Kopparbergs will prove to be an excellent caretaker for the defense of Guinea, and thus has our full support.

SIC reply:

Paris will do fine. Al Qahirah is locked down due to the recent terrorist attack, and of course, Kyoto is too far for us to travel. Prince Aziz will head the delegation, as it is in accordance with the Emir's desires to verse the Heir apparent in matter of foreign discourse.

OOC: The "observer" comment in the thread was aimed at you (and Vineyard, actually). :p

And yes, ALM, the UN Security Council headquarters are in Vienna. The rest of Austria is currently a buffer zone.

Now as Equatorial Guinea is a protectorate of the Kingdom of Kopparbergs Africa, the Kingdom must fulfill it's responsibility to ensure that Equatorial Guinea has a decent defense.

With the withdrawal of RUN's troops, the troops of Kopparbergs Africa must move in. The most natural thing is to let troops from Nigeria be responsible as they are in very close proximity to both the mainland of EG and the Bioko Island. Marines from NM8 in Uyo and NM7 in Port Harcourt were airlifted to mainland EG, and marines from NM6 in Lagos were transported by sea to the Bioko Island. A total of 20,000 marines on the mainland, and 10,000 on Bioko Island were in place within one week. Naval ships from both Uyo and Port Harcourt extends their regular patrolling rounds to include the waters between EG and Nigeria. The airforce of Nigeria doesn't plan to move planes to EG at the moment, that will be a question of the future. If the need should arise, they will take of from airbases in south east Nigeria until the situation is solved with one or two local airbases.

To the ordinary people in Equatorial Guinea there was no big difference. EG still has the same government and the same prime minister as before EG's withdrawal from the RUN. But one big difference was mentioned in the local papers; with the withdrawal from the RUN Equatorial Guinea may be able to avoid the forthcoming war. Kopparbergs Africa is not one of the parts in the war.

Kopparbergs Africa is disarming – Declaring Africa as a nuclear weapon free zone

On direct orders from the King of Kopparbergs Africa, Mohammed VI, all nuclear weapons hosted in Kopparbergs Africa will be moved to Kopparbergs Middle East. Exceptions will be made for nuclear missiles on submarines, as they are not in Africa only.

King Mohammed VI urges all other nations within Africa to copy this move, and disarm all nuclear weapons in Africa (if there are any others with nuclear weapons).

The disarm will take place immediately, and will be completed in two months from now.

"We are quite happy to see a nation truly understand the destructive nature of nuclear weapons and that nuclear weapons are far more harmful than beneficial. The more nuclear weapons in the world, the higher the chance of nuclear terrorism or a nuclear war, resulting in the destruction of civilization as we know it.

Sharina wishes that more nations of the world sees that nuclear weapons are not worth the trouble, effort, and expense to develop and maintain. A nuclear weapon-free world will truly be able to survive, whereas a world where every nation is a nuclear power will not."

Once again the giant oaken doors creeked open, and a rather timid Intel Officer came in. 'Sir, we have an update on the situation in EG!"

"Very well, lets hear it." Regent Windsor said, placing his pen down on the desk and reclining in his chair.

"Sir, One of our satilite scans picked up a body of Kopparsbergian troops arriving in EG."

"...what?"

'Yes sir. We checked it out, and it apprears as if they wish to declare it a protectorate."

Regent Windsor blinked. His fists clenched. Then, slowly, his pale complexion turned to a shade of red, then to purple. He took a deep breath, held it, and let it out. Then another deep breath, letting it out slowly this time. His facial color slowly returned to normal.

Regent Windsor leaned forward, placing both his elbows on his desk, and rubbed his temples.

"They knew, didn't they?"

"They did sir."

"I want all Kopparsbergian Citizens under surveliance. I want all Sat support withdrawn... I want borders to be closed, and god damn it, I want 3sumbarines in the Straights of Gibralter ASAP. Those bastards clearly made a deal... we will see what else it entails. Also, if there is a Kopparsbergian Government official in the Empire, arrest him. Charge him with rape or some such. I want him in my office in 3 days. NO ONE CROSSES THE EMPIRE!" Windsor said, slamming his fists onto what were probably important documents scattered on his desk.

"It will be done, my Lord" The officer said, quickly scratching the last notes onto his notepad before scurrying out.

Regent Windsor leaned back. He closed his eyes, thinking. Those back-stabbing bastards. We helped them keep Israel from being over-run! We gave them Jordan, despite it being one of our territories! And how, exactly, do they repay us!? They take another nation into their fold, one which we had declared intentions to liberate. Conveniantly after the RUN 'abandons' it. Oh, no.

Secret IC:

The chilling wind softly blew in the night air as a Kamov Ka-60 transport helicopter landed in the wildness outside of Cherevkovo, Russia. Ten intimidating men leaped out of the helicopter with AK-107 assault rifles, with Senator Milan Srecko following armed with a hidden 6P9 silenced pistol.

A minute later, a Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunship of the national guard landed around fifty yards away. Eight men armed with AK-107 assault rifles quickly exited from the helicopter as General Dmitri Afinogenov, supreme commander of the armed forces, followed behind.

Afinogenov imperturbably greeted Srecko with a brief hand gesture.

"Comrade General Afinogenov, is everything in order?" Srecko inquired.

"Comrade Senator Srecko, is the material ready yet?" he replied, with a hint of impatience.

"As you requested, my comrade."

Srecko's bodyguards take turns removing attaché cases from the Ka-60 helicopter. They stiffly walk to Afinogenov's side of the clearing, dropping the suitcases at his bodyguards feet. When they are finished, Afinogenov signals for his bodyguards to inspect the cases. Inside are three million Reichsmark bills.

Afinogenov nodded in approval. "Very well, Comrade Senator Srecko. You shall be the new supreme ruler of Russia! I will take care of any problems in Beograd [OOC: referring to the Senate]."

All the men marched onto their respective helicopters and flew away. They all knew that the meeting they just attended never officially happened.

Security officers in Tbilisi gave indication to the attacks and made the quick move to shut down the airport while the report was sent back to the UCR capital in Baku.

They have but tasted the retribution of Allah, and it was only Allah's mercy that these attacks have not been as devastating as the others, for Allah wished to grant you amnesty - if only you turn from your oppression of the faithful, and indeed to the ways of Allah by voiding your alliance with the Jews, your lands may be spared Allah's wrath. But until you ascent to these Divine terms of judgment, your country shall not be spared.

"The same judgment for the allies of the Jews - and the same holds for those who oppress the lands of the Muslims. The Empire from the West shall not be spared, and if they do not take indication to their troubles, they shall meet the same judgment as has passed to the lands of Moorington, Kopparbergs, Alif Laam Miim, and now Granate. Allah Holy people demand you cancel your alliance with Kopparbergs and quit your lands in Iraq and Syria, for they belong to the righteous. If you do not agree to these, the destruction wrecked upon those of your Jewish friends shall be soon yours. Enemies of the Jews shall be rewarded with Allah's will, and they shall be the inheritors of the Dar al-Harb.

"Allah assalaamu aleikum, Allah akhbar."

After the attacks that have gone the most recent in Granate (Tbilisi, Georgia).
"Allahu Akbaru min kullisay" were the opening words from the Sultan Mohammed bin Al Deeb as his fae appeared in less then an hour after the tragic bombing at Tbilisi.

"Truly these words are undeniable. I am known well across Lebanon and the world by those men and women who forsake the life of excess and strive to live as the Prophet(pbuh). I am Sultan Mohammed bin Al-Deeb II, for lack of a better term I am the Patriarch of the Bedou.
I keep counsel withthe faithful and rightgeous so that I might lead as a just and fair man.

I make peace with my enemies for All-h loves not he transressor.
I deal fairly for the Prophet(pbuh) declared that no servant of All-h should deal in treachery.

Among the Bedou we have strived to show the world the peace beauty and truth of Islam, of submission to All-h.

Years ago the Wadi Rum schools of Islam were not barred from any nation that we could reach with resources to construct them in, no where was our path barred to spread the teaching of the Prophet(pbuh) and never was the sword raised in anger save to defend ourselves.

Never a drop of blood spilled least the first drop be our own.

When peace was offered we eagerly received it, not for our own but for the sake Islam and by the words fo the Prophet(pbuh).

I say today, with the support of my people and of All-h.
I make war to defend Islam, to defend the truth and the peace of the faithful.

Now, know this you perpetrators of violence against innocents and against your brothers and the People of the Book.

“"If two parties of believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: But if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of God; but if it complies, then make peace between them with justice, and be fair: for God loves those who are fair.”" (Al-Hujurat: 9)
Your blood will flow until you see the truth of the words of the Prophet(pbuh).

“" O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.”" (Al-Maidah: 8)

You have strayed from your duty and I promise with all my heart to bring you back from the maws of the grave, the people of Lebanon and the Bdou across the world will deliver from your misguided ways there will be rest for you until you sue for peace with your brothers and All-h's creation.

Peace and Blessings to those who suffer at the hands of the lost for their actions are not the actions of faithful men or rightgeous warriors in the service of All-h.

Itmam al-hujjah!!! Know I speak words set in the sands and the stone and know that they mark the sun to burn you in the day and the moon to watch you in the night. Let no man claim to speak above this devotion, this oath I swear on the blood of the martyrs who have and will fall for the will of All-h.

You bring the Jihad ash-Shaytan and Jihad ash-munafiqin of the Bedou faithful against you until the stars burn out and fall from the sky. Make your repentance or find war until the day of Judgement.

Reposted-OCC: This has to do with my RP for Bangladesh and is not connected in anyway with the Republic.

IC: To the Military Industries of the world, the Bangladesh military has started a massive upgrade program and seeks the following general equipment.

1. A Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) to replace it's existing stock of Russian made BTR-80s or to complement them.

2. A Tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle that carries a gun higher then the 12.7mm.

3. A Main Battle Tank that is under 50 tons to replace the stocks of T-54/55s, Type 59IIs and Type 79s in our service.

4. A Self-Propelled Howitzer to keep up with the tanks and IFVs.

5. A Modern Air Superiority Fighter to complement the 8 Mig-29s in service.

We are open to other suggestions on military equipment your Industries might be able to supply to us. Were willing to pay any price for the following equipment provided it meets out standards.

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

SIC/IC: Minus, the crash of one of the prototypes that had delayed the program by a few months the Eurobomber (B1B Lancer) was on scheduled to becoming operational. The first few units would be based in Spain and as production increased deployed to various members of the Republic and allies. Suitable bases were being sought in Argentina, the Netherlands, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. Total production of aircraft was expected somewhere between 40-50 aircraft. Completion of all aircraft is expected to take 3-5 years depending on number of orders and unforeseen delays.

The first official aircraft will be coming off the assembly lines in just a few months (OCC: A few real life days). With the official operational of the Eurobomber, the Republic would have the ability to strike deep into enemy territory as they could strike deep into Republican territory. The enemy would think twice about attacking the Republic if they knew their homeland could be just as easily attacked.

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

TEST C

SIC/IC: The last and final test was just about to get underway. Operating still off the coast of Mauritius, the crew aboard Van Spejk was waiting and ready for the order that might come anytime. Within a few minutes, that order came. "Man your stations, the use of nuclear weapons has been authorized". Within minutes a single M45 Ballistic Missile was armed with a single 100kT warhead and fueled, the crew merely had to push a button and the power of the sun would be seen shortly. "XO-start the countdown if you, please."

10....9...8...7....6....
5....
4...
3...
2...
1....

Suddenly, the sub shook as the Missile was expelled from the sub to the surface, whereby reaching the surface the Missile ignition it's first of three stages. Down below under the water, the crew of the Van Spejk continue to track it's target.

Minutes later, "Sir- the Missile has entered it's third and final stage. Telemetry looks good and the warhead is on target for North Keeling Island."

Though, the crew couldn't see it- the warhead had gone off exactly as planed. Ten feet above the surface the 100kT warhead had exploded. What a sight it was to behold to all who were there. The power of God in the hands of mortals.

With the tests concluded, it was hoped by those in the Republic that these terrible weapons would never have to be used. However, should the Republic ever be threaten and faced with it's destruction-God help those who would do harm to the Republic, themselves and the world.

-Baku, Azerbaijan, The UCR-

There was much activity since the bombings in Tiblisi. The national government was working overtime to find those responsible for the bombing. Reports stated that the bombings had most likely killed at least 2,500 people with around 5,000 more injured. The President had gone on the air, hours after the Terrorists message had been played, to give his Emergency Address to the nation. In it he stated that the UCR and all it's Republics were in a state of Emergency since the bombings, and that security around the nation would take an immediate upswing. He also stated that nothing of this maginitude would happen again.

The IR&C, the UCRian Intelligence Group, was working hard. It was there job to locate the men responsible and then make the needed arrangements for their capture or termination. A few leads lead to Moorington, where it's Government seemed to have fallen as no message was returned when they asked for their input. For all intents and purposes, the Moorington government no longer existed and the Terrorists used it's lands to fuel their war of hate.

SIC:
The President made an Executive Order, Order b.14 for those who need to know, that Special Clandestine Operations to be allowed to begin in Moorington territory. The LS8 and LS7 Teams were called into action, even though they were just recently allowed to be put into combat. Their commanders had the utmost faith in them. Their insertion point was to be 13km off the northern Turkish Coastline about 12km away from the Moorington-UCR border. Their mission, search and designate targets for the UCR Carrier in the Black Sea. This was just the beginning of Operation: Just Rewards

[ooc: I don't know who you're declaring jihad against, but I don't like it one bit [ICly of course]...]

His Royal Highness, the Emir Jalal al Misri, regarded the discourse provided and was hoping that this war of the "infidels" was not about to happen in his own backyard. For many years he had worked out a peaceful solution to the problems of the Middle East, and this problem was becoming oriented more towards to the extremists. He needed to make a comment:

"As-salaamu alaikum! It is with a sorrowful heart that I must give witness to two horrible incidents that have transpired recently.

I - Emir of the ALM Coalition - have seen the travesty of extremist attacks in the fair city of Al Qahirah, waged by vehement jihadists who sought to end the wisdom of our rule by instilling violence upon the people who inhabit these lands. I have defended these lands against the oppression of these extremists from whatever corner they hail, only to insure the security of those who inhabit these lands and to guard the Faithful. I have been criticized in my lifetime for being anti-Jew; I have been criticized for being anti-Muslim; I have been criticized for being anti-Christian; I have been criticized for anti-religion. I have been criticized for the great sum of many worthy crimes, so much that I feel that all of these criticisms can either cancel each other or entail that I am a really bad man.

I assure my people that I am neither evil nor do I preach the wisdom of Satanists. However, we are at a time when tolerance is the truth, when the human mind is open to criticism. As it was with the Prophet in His day, he listened to the words spoken to him and aptly gave consideration to them as he preached those words. I do not mean to say that I preach of a new Prophecy, but rather, I preach nothing. I leave the sermons to the Imams who guard the sanctuaries of the Mosques and the Quran. Yet, I find it difficult to combat against those extremists who hail to Allah's will when they criticize me for being what I am - the leader of a moderate, a tolerant, and a peaceful country ; a state that embraces the Islamic faith but permits those of other faiths to coexist with us.; a state that preaches truth but is willing to listen to others' interpretations; a state that holds high the respect for men and equally grants to those who respect it the same.

However, incidents of recent have forced the Emirate to rash decisions - decisions that we may latter regret in the pursuit of our security. However, we find ourselves in a conundrum - as these very extremists who bombed our markets have stretched beyond the lands in Kopparbergs and touched the people of the UCR. A bomb in an airport exploded and killed many people. The extremist group - Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam - claimed responsibility, the same perpetrators of the Al Qahirah market attack. They have effectively declared jihad upon us, since they announced their true intentions, and they have done in accordance with no laws that Muhammad ever composed, as it has always been with the Prophet to declare the grievances before the infidels before attacking them. Whereas they have claimed responsibility for numerous other attacks, including against a Kopparbergs tanker and the deadly attack in the former state of Moorington, they have only recently given indication of their hostility to the Red Sea Alliance and its apparent pro-Jewish attitudes. Let me be first to say that the Kingdom of Kopparbergs is not inherently pro-Jewish; in fact, today we find Arabic Kings in their place - a testament that the Jews can live peacefully with the faithful. The attack on Gaza City only hurts the Muslims who reside there, not the Jews - and a war with the Jews will only hurt us, as the genocide of their kind will be hard, difficult, and perhaps counterproductive.

But the Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam has declared jihad, and as has another Sultan declared jihad, I am tempted to say that the extremist camp is mobilizing for a war that they have caused, without full opportunity to address the grievances inflicted. I have not heard their people calling to me, asking me for conference to discuss with them their problems. Instead, I find that they send me bombs and the blood of my people, and the blood of the people of my allies. And whereas I should invoke jihad upon them, I neither a man of such authority nor a man of such piety to declare it. I am not the inheritor of the rightly guided Khaliph, and neither is any in my company. I am not a man who determines the absolute will of Allah, save that Islam be the truth spoken in His lands, and that I know of the truth it speaks. I have done these in accordance with the wills of the Righteous. However, since the declaration of jihad is a declaration of war upon the Emirate, I must reply in kind to it - and I shall call upon the Emirate Parliament to declare war upon the Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam group, and their allies in their extremist struggle. Only thereafter will I ask of Allah's wisdom to end it in a manner that is most fitting for His grace and mercy. Those who preach the wars of Allah without fully comprehending its nature shall not be the inheritors of the wills of Allah, but rather fall to the dark side of Satan's grasp. If only now, I address to you to cease your hostility upon our peoples and come address us as the Quran speaks. If I hear nothing from the extremists, I shall consider the declaration of war and submit it to the Parliament for their assent.

In lieu of this declaration, I must officially send my condolences to the United Caucasian Republics and the people affected by this travesty. It is most disappointing and moreover distressing to acknowledge that extremism has not left the Middle East entirely, and is forcing its return to our forefront. The struggles against past enemies still live long, and the Emirate acknowledges that as an ally in the RSA, we will whatever is necessary to aid you in your time of troubles. We have much to gain and much more to lose in this, but otherwise, we will lose it all if we do not band together and share our grievances.


Another matter that concerns me is the blatant disregard for the safety, the livelihood, and the security of those citizens inhabiting the Southern Indian Ocean. Just recently, seismologists detected another explosion there on one of the islands, and it has been confirmed through other sources that a nuclear device has been exploded within RUN territory. This is the third travesty that continues to poison our lands while the RUN reaps the benefits of the illusive securities that nuclear weapons present to the state.

And I address my grievances to the RUN - the first being the nature of their tests, the second being the secrecy behind these tests, and the third being their blatant disregard for the sovereignty of those inhabiting those islands, and the countries nearby. The first - I have been distressed every time I hear of rumors of nuclear war, especially since the dastardly attack on the UARCA some time ago. I felt that the RUN was a sensible state, and would actively pursue a weapons program. Yet lo and behold, they have come out declaring their nuclear capabilities - only after they had exploded a weapon. I could tolerate the first explosion, considering the weight of the conflicts in security that they face in other spheres. But my second grievance concerns their active secrecy in providing these tests, all within the Indian Ocean. Emirate territory is not far from these islands that they use, and I have sent numerous officials to monitor the radiation levels there. Thankfully, they have not peaked significantly, but I grow more worrisome with every new attack, and I am not certain when the next one will occur. If a next one will occur - which I hope to be the case. The RUN has given no warning to their tests and they have wasted the patience of my government, my people, and myself. I received numerous letters from my people demanding that we void the treaty that was signed recently. I disregarded their calls, as I felt it was natural for the RUN to consider something as this to be necessary for their security. I tolerated the second bomb.

Now, I wake up to find another explosion in the backyard of Africa, and it has boiled my tolerance of these attacks. They have never declared their tests, to give warning to neighboring countries, they have not given sufficient thought to the people inhabiting the periphery of the blasts, and they have given to a selfish and self-destructive quest for security in the world. I have tolerated enough nuclear explosions, and I now make my plea to their government, if they will even consider it.

As Emir of the ALM Coalition, I demand that the RUN cease all nuclear tests in the Indian Ocean or any periphery of the African continent. Only by this acquiescence will be satisfied. Otherwise, I will be forced incur a penalty upon the RUN. They have not made sufficient effort to consider our grievances, they have not given warning, they have not pursued policies aimed at the stabilization of our country, choosing instead to gain their own security at the detriment of our own. If they choose to bomb another bomb - without our consultation and approval in advance - they will considerably void their own treaty by the said action.

At the moment, the Emirate plans no military response to the RUN's actions, and we are still hoping that the sensible ranks in the RUN will plead with themselves to consult with us and to address our grievances. I do not aim to make matters worse by completely ignoring their side as they have ours - I am offering the last chance to extend an olive branch, a battered branch with no leaves left. It is the last that I offer, and I sincerely hope that the RUN will take it at full opportunity, so as to continue cultivating good relations. However, if things come out as the worst possible conclusion, we give full warning that it will be our full and undeterred objective to disarm the RUN and its constituent states of nuclear weapons, as they have neither demonstrated restrain in their usage - for testing and otherwise - nor responsibility, as they have presented these tests in sovereign domains that present to them no absolutely clear problem to their mainland, and of their wishes. I can only empathize with the Republican state in Madagascar, as they have received the brunt of these nuclear blasts, and it is not right or fitting to expose one state to its harms at the benefit of all the other states.

If things should fall for the worst, that the RUN would ignore my calls to conference with them, and in consultation decide the termination of these tests in the African periphery, I want the world to know and acknowledge that the RUN shall be responsible for the diplomatic results of their actions, and that furthermore the Emirate and its constituent states shall be fully absolved of those responsibilities. I pray Allah's blessings upon you, and I can only hope that they are in full accord with the peace and harmony that Allah promises to us all."

Though, the crew couldn't see it- the warhead had gone off exactly as planed. Ten feet above the surface the 100kT warhead had exploded. What a sight it was to behold to all who were there. The power of God in the hands of mortals.

Secret IC:

The Antonov An-72 transport aircraft carrying Vasily Kuznetsov traveled towards waypoint UA66 to travel to the rendezvous point. The aircraft would be landing shortly at the designated air base.

[OOC- I figured gravedigging a thread from...October? wouldn't be much appreciated by mods.... so here's my reply to a very old message.]



The delivery of the following aircraft to the enclosed coordinates by any means that you wish to utilize is requested, half of your money to be wired upon confirmation of order and other half to be placed in secure bank account for payment after delivery.

4 TU-160 980
1 Tu-22M

[OOC- What exactly is a Tu-90? I didn't see any aircraft designated as such- did you mean the Tu-95?]
OOC: There is apparently a Tu-90 designation that I have no idea what it means, but I believe that was supposed to be Tu-95. I'll assume you ordered 2 Tu-95 bombers, since I believe that is what you want.

Jihad ash-munafiqin --Jihad against hypocrites...those who claim to be faithful and are not, this is not typically faught with weapons but rather discussion.
However the Bedou oath to protect People of the Book(Christians and Jews) from Islamic extremists who have led people astray in a war of hate and not defense of Islam.

The Bedou are traditional Islamic reformists...the muslims you want next door.
Unless you intend to slight the faith.

So the Jihad is declared against Islamic extremists who are commiting trecherous terrorist attacks on civilian targets killin women children and old people.

"The Bedou nations offer their deepest sympathies for lives lost across the globe at the hands of cowardly thieves who would steal away the face of Islam in the name of hate."

[ooc: I apologize - not being fluent in Arabic or even Muslim, I did not know what sort of jihad you were declaring. I was hoping to read some context in your speech, but I was evenly split between you supporting the extremists and you supporting the URC and such. But now I know, and with good reason, I left the speech a little vague, although I did put your declaration in somewhat bad light, principally because my Emir doesn't believe in invoking Allah's will through jihad works politically or religiously. Nonetheless, now that he understands it better, he will likely render some support to your regime in combating the extremists. Although do be aware that the terrorists have now targeted your country for oppression next...]



SIC reply to the UARCA's call for a meeting:

The Emir has decided to send a delegation to Tashkent to discuss whatever needs to be done about the Americas dispute, although he stresses that involvement in the conflict in any manner that expresses a bias in any manner will be rejected as a violation of the Emirate's strict neutrality in the conflict.

[ooc: speaking of conference, what happened to the one that was supposed to happen in Paris between me and MC?]

OOC: Traditionally(ICly wise in all Bedou actions) the Bedou are fundamentalists--see traditionalists. War is repulisive in most cases though it is also expected. The Bedou are not comprised of any specific ethnic group or even religion(though grossly Islamic on the whole) --they have little respect for borders(like the Bedouin) and essentially choose to live in harsh fashions...the factbook in my link will give some idea of culture(example-Sultan Al Deeb lives in a tent not a palace).
The link to my lebanon thread you will find the Bedou rules of War(Ethics really) based in and on the Hadith, the Caliphate laws, and the Quran words of the Prophet(pbuh).

As for being fluent in Arabic...me either. Islam I have read a great deal about and have fairly good cross section of Arabi Islamic friends. I deisgned my Bedou nation as the counter weight to the Islamic extremists. The Bedou shun western lifestyles...but they embrace westerners...all people really.

Most of my roleplays with Bedou have them being essential in a struggle to reclaim Islam from the modern extremism it has to the more tolerant position it held before--hence they focus on concentrating communal wealth...the real hinge of power to manipulate the globe. Armed aggression is based more on cultural lines ...the Ethics of War are imposed to ensure the Bedou do not deviate from the path of Islam. I wrote the speech to be semi-poetic and Vague as Mohammed II is a Bedouin...Historically they are known for their devotion the Islam and their poetry among other things...like hospitality and mercy in battle, a mercy balanced with ruthlessness....

Now i just need to actually make some purchases to rebuild my military up to modern standards given my military budget is significantly changed.

None of my nations are producers so I am going to be a buyer...time to go back stats...boring.

If I may be frank with you, I beleive we may have most of the Terrorists dead or in custody within the Year.

-Within Turkish Borders, Operation: Just Rewards-

The LS8 and LS7 Teams were moving steadily west. As they moved along the Turkish Countryside, they were spot out probably Terrorist Training Camps, Paint them somehow, and then radio the Carrier in the Black Sea. Soon UCR Air-Craft would fly overhead and the target would hit by a bomb or missle. And yet there was another part to their mission. They were looking for Terrorists, yes that was true, but they were also looking for military posistions occupied by the Former-Moorington Army or Air-Force. The President had decided that once Moorington fell, the UCR would move in and give the country some stability.

So far, the teams had neutralized three possible terrorist camps, and two radar installations. They still had a long way to go before they reach Ankara. There they would head to the Sea and rendevous with a Destroyer 1 1/2km off the coast. Then the true fight would begin. Operation: Just Rewards would begin in full force.

The one meaning common understanding. (emphathize, i think) My grammer is on par with some of the worst (wont name names:cool: )

OHKA, GUJARAT

2315 local time---

The INS Viraat was settled in the port, along with her escorts nearby. The moon was full, but the clouds obscured the view of the night sky anyway. The patrols were getting ready for some activity after many years of activity, but those wouldn't be until days later. India had been relatively quiet in its many years of struggling internal reforms, and it seemed that it was only too reluctant to open its arms to the world. Nonetheless, the presence of a large naval contingent was something worth alarm, and it brought the attention of nearby groups, seeking to preempt another attack.

The small boat was returning to port after a long day out at sea. It was late coming back home, but they had made a long voyage out to sea, and the rewards with them were numerous. But in addition to their large catch of fish, there was also the pride of former aggressors of the Arabian Sea. And they made ready their weapon. The first scouts on board the Viraat did not pay much attention to the boat, think that it was arriving at port from a different angle than most other ships returning. The boat then turned out its lights, making detection of the boat almost impossible in the dark night. However, the lights from the ship were enough to indicate that a ship was coming, and a nearby escort began to scout the sea for the boat. It failed at first, but the lights did catch the wake of the boat, and they followed it to the near edge of the Viraat, whereupon they informed the crew of the Viraat of the boat's location. Loudspeakers went out wide and open, informing the boat operators that they had traveled into the wrong port. Seconds after the loudspeaker went on, the boat exploded and rocked the carrier in its place. When the smoke and debris cleared, there was a large hole in the side of the Viraat, to which the sailors, soldiers, and anyone able began to secure the blast zone, to ensure that one of the newest vessels of the Indian fleet did sink in port. After 30 minutes of fighting the water, they could celebrate a precious victory, having slightly tipped the carrier to its port side, stopping the flow of water into the vessel. And thus it would remain that way as the Indian Armed Forces were alerted to the dastardly attack on their ships.

Hours later, a televised report came out and was distributed to media services abroad, with the following message:

"As salaamu aleikum, Allahu akhbar! We - Al Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam - have committed the great and mighty attack upon the forces of the Indian Republic, for causes of their historic oppression of the Muslim minority in their land, and for making threats against the movements to liberate the Muslim lands from the oppressive Jews and their conspirators in Al Qahirah - those who defile the Holy Lands with their alliance with the Jews. They have made no effort to appease Allah's judgment, and Allah has committed us to give the warning to any continued ventures against the liberation of the Holy Lands - whereupon none shall spare the people of India from the forces of Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Haqq Arabiyya al-Dar al-Islam.

If the people of India seek peace, they only need to look upon the shattered might of their great navy and realize that even they are not immune from us. And then they shall consider this offer, and stay away from us and all that is righteous and true. It is only fitting that the Indian government prove either its righteous in remaining outside of our affairs in reflecting this atrocity upon them - and it is therefore fitting that if they do not heed our warnings, that they will soon realize the fact of being at war with Allah, and that their government continues to oppress the faithful and the righteous. Let not their quiet calm delude the people of the world! They either mean for its destruction with their nuclear arsenal or choose righteously to turn to Allah and become like His followers and wage war upon the unfaithful and the defilers, the sinners and the blasphemous.

We shall see, but until then, Allah keep with the faithful and be merciful to those who turn away - but guide us to those wrongdoers, and submit to us their fates! Allahu akhbar!"

As a low budget, consumer product television show ends, the Indian National News Network, INNN, begins its intro.

After a flashy show of cheap computer graphics and shots of reporters doing indepth stories, the screen shows up to two Indian men behind a large desk. A blue background with a super-imposed INNN symbol stands behind them. A smaller screen shows up in the upper right hand corner of the television screen as the camera zooms into one of the anchors. The Picture shows a massive hole in the side of the INS Viraat, a very Nimitz looking carrier. The title on the screen reads, "Terror in the ports."

"Good evening," The anchor starts off quickly, "And welcome to the INNN. Breaking news. Earlier this morning, an unspeakable act has occured. The INS Viraat, a nuclear powered carrier, one of three recently built by the Indian Navy Yards, was hit today by two men in a motorboat."

The small screen enlarged to engulf the whole screen, showing video footage of the fight to stabilze the ship, 2 hours after the attack. The side of the ship, near amidship looks to have a hole atleast 50 feet in diameter. The screen continues to show Indian Marines securing the port and the surrounding city. The anchor continues to speak.

"The attack prompted a massive lockdown of all ports, and airports. All military bases have been put on full alert, and active patrols have been deployed through all major cities."

The screen switches to a shot of the Prime Minister, speaking within the Royal Senate. His voice is muted, the anchor speaking. "A press conference was held earlier today, here we have the highlights."

The Prime Minister is unmuted. "This attack will not be tolerated. What has prompted this ubsurd attack is beyond comprehension. However, all we do know is this will not go unpunished. Though their attack was suprising, we can be thankful that their full intention was not founded, and the carrier still floats. Retribution will be enacted..." The voice is muted again.

"The Prime Minister announces today that a full investigation will be put into motion, and talks with other countries will begin to find the source of this attack."

The screen switches to a map of the weather, and a female begins to speak.

[ooc: speaking of nonchalance...]

IC: The Emirate is outraged at this attack by the same extremists who sought to exact the same lethality in our own capital recently, and it has since spread to a government whose functions have not been the subject of hostile debate, or even of hostility period. We can only extend our sincere condolences to the Indian government, for the lives that were lost in the bombing of their military vessel by those claiming to carry the mandate of Allah, when they do not even considerably follow the instructions of Muhammad in conducting the affairs of war! We extend likewise our offers to cooperate in battling against those extremists who continue to defile the names of good Muslims worldwide and of Allah's messages through His Prophet. We can only hope that reason and rational thought shall triumph against the fundamentalists that seek to promote an active culture opposed to the wealth of humanity and the fruits of its labors.

Recent Intel reports show massive movement of Indian military forces toward its east. The 5th Field Army, based in Calacutta has begun to mobilize in border towns next to Bangladesh. Reports say that recent unrest has caused the Indian military to prepare to move into the country, and stabilize it.

Meanwhile, the 4th Field Army based out of Lucknow has begun to move into the far eastern parts of the country, setting up large permanent bases in Kohima, Imphal, and Aizawl. Independant support divisions from the 8th Field Army have also begun to move into these positions. The rest of the 8th Field Army has set up entrenched positions on the border of China in this easterly portion of the country.

In places where a void has been left, divisions have set up temporary residence, as well as setting up numerous observation posts with the border of Nepal.

Last movement of notice, is the battlegroup containing 2 of the 3 new Indian carriers has begun to move east, towards indochina.

SIC: The Emirate inquires with the UCF if our Paris conference is under way currently...

SIC: The conference should be ready in two weeks for us to hold in Paris.

Today in international reports, a conference held with the Royal Indian Minister of Foreign Affiars shows the Indian support is reaching out to the Republic of United Nations.

Concerning the developing conflict in the South Americas, the Minister has released this statement. "To our ally of old. We cannot simply stand by, and let such indignant actions take place. Though much has happened, and things have changed, Royal India will make ammends for its isolationism during its internal reforms. Effective immediatly, The Royal Indian forces will be put on Combat Alert 4, standby. Though no military force has yet been mobilized, that shall change very soon indeed."

SIC: With the recent conference, immediate action was taken within the Empire. In Iraq, the 3rd Battlegroup prepared for the worst. Patrols and watches were doubled. While in Bolivia, the 2nd Battlegroup was alerted to this recent development, and urged to make all haste. A Small force of 2,000 men broke off in acquisitioned vehicules, bring with them explocives. Their mission: rig all major infastructure leading from Peru and into Bolivia in anticipation of a landing. The Citizens of both Bolivia and Peru were ordered to comply with any ossupying force, and instructed not to resist. The Empire had a mission to accomplish, and it certainly did not involve getting more people killed.


-(Encrypted) Telegram to Sharina-
Recent developments most disturbing. As far as we know, the Indians could be heading for the Americas, or may attack Iraq and Kuwait, which is currently poorly defended. Divided we cannot hope to defeat the might of the Indian Navy. United however...


Suggest reeployment of navies, redesignation of mission. If met head on in Pacific, not only will adversary's navy be broke, but their army shattered. Both their navy AND their army will sink beneath the waves, and 1 less hostile power vying for the Americas.

The Americas must be preserved!

Secret telegram issued back towards Vineyard reads as follows:

"Thank you for the warning. Satellite observances detect that India is possibly preparing to move into Bangledesh, which would possibly make it an enemy of the Republic of the United Nations. Despite this, Sharina shall put its two Pacific Naval fleets on high alert. We thank you for this information.

May victory be ours!"

SIC: The conference should be ready in two weeks for us to hold in Paris.

SIC: Until then, let us know what we can do to maintain the neutrality of our respective states, considering your own proximity to one of our allies who is currently mobilizing to address their own threats in the Mediterranean. It would be a grave misfortune to see your country fall ill to the excesses of war.



IC: It is to our dismay, hearing news from India considering recent developments of their renewed interests to aid their allies abroad. We had hoped that the Indian Republic would have contributed the greater of its resources to establishing a firm and revocable peace instead of becoming directly involved in the conflict.

Nonetheless, the Emirate wishes to remind all parties of the Emirate's resolute neutrality in the conflict, and that all transgressions upon our sovereign domain will not pass slightly upon us. Furthermore, we are aware that we have the full support of the RSA in maintaining the overall neutrality of the entire region in the Middle East, despite the obligations of one of our members due to other extraneous causes. Again, we hope that this can all be resolved as soon as possible and to the least possible damage inflicted upon all innocents in the conflict.

My government will commit combat forces (all branches of the armed forces) to support your invasion of Myanmar at your time of choosing. I.E. When you are ready.
The use of Bangladesh Airspace by Indian forces will be approved, furthermore the use of Bangladesh as a supply base for your forces will be allowed. All roads and rail networks will be made priority for your forces supply needs. However, no combat troops will be tolerated in Bangladesh only supply troops.

Furthermore, we request that your government (India) fully recognize our claim on the stated lands above as utterly without question belonging to the Bangladesh government and her people.


We feel this is a fair deal for the amount of resources our people would have to commit to support your undertaking against a country with the twelfth largest army in the world. The loss of life by both sides would be terrible. Should you reject our deal, we wish you the best of luck.

Deaths Feared in UARCA Embassy Attack

By THAKSINA KHAIKAEW
Associated Press Writer

February 10, 2007, 5:59 PM EST

DHAKA, Bangladesh- After days of protests after a video showing a Bangladeshi citizen being interrogated by what appear to be elements of the Republican Guard of the UARCA, tension turned violent in Dhaka with the assault and seizure of the UARCA embassy by an unidentified group.

Believed to be radical demonstrators, the militants stormed the embassy walls at just around midnight local time, and gunshots could be heard around the capital for almost an hour. “It brings to mind a terrorist attack,” Abdul Ghazi told the AP as he passed the embassy early this morning. “Hopefully no one was hurt.”

That opinion was in the minority today. “Death to all the pigs of the UARCA!” yelled a leader of street protests currently going on outside the stormed embassy, which has the Bangladeshi flag flying atop its flagpole. “Death to their people! Death to their allies!” No official government response has been given as of yet, but sources indicate that members of the government may have aided those who carried out the attacks.

The carriers, as shown in this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.ph...&postcount=454) news report, has power and projection rivaling that of the American made Nimitz class carriers.

The construction is going to begin within a month's time, the carriers being built one after another. Instead of all three being built simultaneously, a carrier, and a combination of frigates and destroyers will be built in tandem, further adding versitility to the Navy.

Defense sources say that the construction sites will be under heavy guard. The elite Royal Marines themselves will be guarding the naval yards, due to the recent attacks on the IRN Viraat while still in port.

In a related topic, the Indian Royal Navy is looking for designs to built advanced amphibious assault ships for their fledgling Royal Marines. As well as looking for schematics for a guided missile Cruiser, to compliment their nuclear carriers in the field.

Link Found Between Embassy Assault, Bangladeshi Government; War Declared

SAMARKAND, UARCA- Speaking before the assembled houses of the UARCA government for the first time since the recent devastating nuclear attacks against the UARCA by the P.R.C., Chairman of the Supreme Council Larna Dovraybin presented astonishing reports linking elements of the Bangladeshi government to the recent attack on an UARCA embassy in Dhaka.

"We can now see why there was nothing preventing the riots or the attack!" Chairman Dovraybin said before a packed chamber. "Their very government was implicit in the action! MSS intercepts, verified to be between key government officials, pin the blame squarely on the shoulders of that government! We will not stand for this! We will not allow our nation, our people to be trespassed upon and savaged by any nation!" To a cheering legislative body, war was declared on Bangladesh by a majority vote.

Independent analysis by the Indian government has authenticated the veracity of the claim, an un-named government official from the Republic of India confirmed. Further, intelligence reports leaked by the UARCA government suggests that, of the 45 people in the embassy, 12 are already believed to be dead with the fate of the rest of the hostages unknown at this time.

OCC:
Before, I post my IC reply I have 5 points that first need to be stated.

You are aware that I control Bangladesh right and that it's not a NPC country. A war with Bangladesh will not be easy. So, if your sure you want to go that course, then so be it.
Bangladesh doesn't have an Embassy with any nation since for a long time it was NPC and since I have been roleplaying it I haven't establish an embassy with anyone including the UARCA. Embassies have to roleplayed.
Question? How do you expect to invade Bangladesh? The only way for you to get to Bangladesh would be by water, using a Navy. Which, you lack. I checked your military declaration-you don't have a single ship. Bangladesh is for the most part surrounded by India. So, unless you plan to invade India to get to Bangladesh-I'm in my right mind to pretty much ignore your war declaration since your threat is pretty much a joke.
I don't you really think you thought your action through on that one did you, not counting the fact that Bangladesh even outnumbers your whole population with it's single country and has an army about as large as yours.
BTW, your population in the military is over the amount allowed. In, peace time we can have a max of 2%. You have 3%. If, that other 1% are reserves you need to state so.


IC: When Zia, (She's the leader of Bangladesh) heard of the war declaration the complete shock to her, her cabinet and even her people were beyond words. For that matter, beyond words were that Zia had never even heard of the UARCA- though she was comforted by the fact that neither did anyone else in her cabinet. As more reports began to pour in, the reason for the declaration of war on her people became clear. Her government and more specify her were being blamed for attacking an UARCA embassy in Dhaka. Checking quickly with her Foreign Minister, the shaking of his head was a clear sign he was just as confused as she was. What Embassy! She screamed at her staff to found out. Bangladesh was a peaceful country and had proven that since it's independence in 1971. Even years later, no one would still know what the hell the UARCA was taking about when it came to it's embassy in Dhaka. A strange statement considering no embassy existed.

Finally after hours of confusion, some information was starting to come in. Zia's defense minister had finally found some information buried away in the records department. If, it hadn't been for the internet-it's doubtful Zia's government would of found out anything out all. Her government had just no reason to keep tabs on the nations of the world.

Mrs. President/Prime Minister-the UARCA or The United Autonomous Republics of Central Asia are a collection of nations in central Asia. Their current population is around 140 million people. Little is known about them except that most of the nations it now composes were part of the Soviet Union at one time and that the current leader: Tamur Navarbayevs has assumed almost complete control over the country and installed himself as dictator.

Giving her Defense Minister a strong look, Zia responded in her usually way.
"That's nice, but what are their military capabilities". Mam, from what we can tell they are entirely a land based power. "Your telling me they have no Navy to speak of". "That's correct".

"Then how do they expect to attack us?" "I don't know, Mam. It would seem as if they are just playing a game with us. The leader may be having domestic troubles and simply using a war to distracted his people from the problems he has created."

WACN HEADLINE REPORT: AIRSHIPS OVER THE CWAA

The military of the CWAA has announced that it is starting a massive airship research and developement program, hoping to bring combat-zeppelins into their airforce as soon as possible. While most may scoff at this venture, the military is hopeful that it will be able to serve as a sort of airborne artillery platform or AWACS role.

Snip.

Zhao Ziyang (General Secretary of the ACCP) and Wen Jiabao (Premier of the State Council) were discussing the tactics for Operation Island Liberation. They were convinced that their plan was very smart, and the defenders would not have a chance.

- Okay, let's repeat this once more. said Jiabao. First, two of the Oscar II-class SSGN's are going to the inlet of the Davao Gulf in southeastern Philippines. When in place they're going to launch a dozen each of the SS-N-19 Granit cruise missiles towards the port and airport in the city Davao on the Mindanao Island.

- One important thing here is that the submarines doesn't need to go near the coastline in the Gulf as the missiles has a range of about 550 km. added Ziyang.
As soon as the missiles are fired, the submarines will turn around, and go back to the Luzon Strait south of Taiwan. The Philippines will not have a clue to what was making the attack.

- Yes, you're right. And when the chaos is a fact in the southeastern parts of the Philippines they will divert all possible military forces to that area. And then we'll start the real thing! Jiabao was very satisfied.

OOC: I believe you spelled the division "Magway". both are correct, I think.

OCC: I have no division by either name either in Bangladesh (which, is the only nation going to lend you any assistance) or in the Republic (which is sitting out and not going to get involved).

Bangladesh is not part of the Republic and hence a separate entity.

Here is the Army part of the Military Declaration for Bangladesh. If, you see a Division named Magway or Magwe in my Bangladesh military declaration your welcome to use it. Or as I've been telling you I don't have a division by that name, your going to have to pick one I do have listed.

"Holy shit... I want Dan Halutz on the phone IN FIVE SECONDS!" King Mohammed VI was shocked by the news about the attack at the Balearic Islands.

"Mr. Halutz is on line three!" said the administrator.

"Good!" Mohammed took the phone. "Dan, this is no good news, I presume you've read the report from Mossad?"

"Yes, It was just in. Do you have something special in mind?" answered Dan Halutz.

"Well, it's your job to plan the details, but here's what I'm thinking of: First, we must make sure that every single base in north Africa is put on highest alert, including the Arrow Batteries along the coastline and outside the main cities, and then we must get the planes up in the air."

"Sounds like reasonable demands to me, I can arrange that. Do you want the Sea Corps to leave ports as well?"

"Well, with a lower Defcon-level, they should increase their patrolling. And if I'm not wrong we've already closed the Strait of Gibraltar? And what's the status of our carrier battle groups?"

"Yes, true. The Strait is closed to all military vessels, but open to civilian ones. The Algeria De Gaulle battle group is in port in Oran and the Nigeria De Gaulle battle group is in port in Lagos. And the third one, Eilat De Gaulle, is somewhere in the seas around Socotra."

"Okay. Can we order Nigeria De Gaulle to go to Cape Verde? I would feel a little bit safer to have another carrier in the neighborhood of the Strait."

"Sure, I'll take care of that. And what about the Defcon level? Three?"

"Yes, three is enough for now. But I want you to mobilize the reserves in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, just for sure."

IC:

Another news report originating from the Indian national news networks. First critical story is how the Ministry of Defense is diverting much needed funds to the Indian Reserve forces. The funding is being used to step up recruitment for a nationalized reserve force(As most reserve forces are simply local defense forces, similar to National Guard units,) as well as purchasing much needed military hardware, and updated material. Most considerable, is the massive purchase of upgraded T-90 tanks, to replace the T-72 era of tanks.

Along with the stepping up of reserve forces, the Indian Royal Armed active forces have begun to step up their own recruitment. Due to the very near-future fighting in the neighboring country of Myanmar, and the declared support of the Republic of United Nations in its war effort, recruiting has been hit with a new quota of adding atleast 400,000 active troops in the military. Though the qouta has no definite time table, sources say that it is expected to reach qouta in a maximum of 1 fiscal year.

In related news. The Indian Royal Navy has purchased four amphibious assault ships. This is aimed to aid the fledgling Royal Marines in their combat operations. However, the purchase of 4 Kirov class battlecruisers is still unknown. Although it is known that the Ministry of the Navy will pay a considerable sum for the ships.

With the news of the recent aggression, the Monocracy has closed its borders, canceled all flights to the warring nations except from KALB to Sharinian cities, canceled most transatlantic flights to and from KALB, the remaining transatlantic flights to and from KALB (SWA 001 (B783), DLH 001 (A343), and JRD 001 (A319) to/from Hienkelstadt, and DLH 033 (A343) to/from Munich) will depart at around the same time and fly in one group with the escorts until reaching domestic territory, and placed all armed forces in Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Southern Sardinia, and Latvia on highest alert.

In addition, the Kiel Canal, the Great Belt strait, the Little Belt strait, and Øresund strait are closed to military traffic.

-War Room-

Regent Windsor leaned heavily on a desk, his eyes fixed on a computer screem. Imperial Intelegence Units, for once in their lives, had finally gotten their hands on some valuable information. Koppersbergs was now mobilizing, along with the RUN and India.

Damn.

Regent Windsor leaned back in his chair. A general strode up to him.

"Sir. All First Imperial Reserve Regiments are massing."

"Very good. I want Reserve Regiments to assume Border Watch Conditions. Order our boys in Africa to commence their assault on Gabon Immediatly, before Kopparsbergs lunges for it."

"Understood." The General saluted, about faced, and marched away.

Regent Windsor leaned over his desk, looking at satilite readouts in the Straits. The Kingdom was constricting them. The Blockade by GR had plenty of supplies, but now supply convoys would be turned away at the point of a gun.

Regent Windsor moaned. Kopparsbergs wanted to provoke the Republican Republic. It was about to get very, very messy. He could only suggest, not control the policy of GR. If the Kingdom presisted, GR would either force his way through or simply fina another way to provision his navy. He would probably pilfer the coastline, something he knew the GR high command would have a jolly good time doing. Raiding raping and pillaging. Like moern Pirates.

He chuckled., but immediatly regained his composture. They deserve more respect than my comparing them to Pirates! Or they may just relish the Idea... who knows!

Regent Windsor then looked at the unit stats for the GR navy, pulling them up on his computer. Drat. He had nearly forgotten.

Imperial Submarine Units were stationed with the blockading force. They relied on the same provisions as the Slavs did.

Damn it again!

If the GR navy acted hostily, the Empire did so as well by implication.

Spiriling down a giant drain, the entire situation. The RUN was sucking other nations into the conflict. If GR tried to provision, The Kingdom would be brought in, and the RSA would fracture. Exactly what the RUN wanted. Then, the RUN can move on the Middle east. And with the members of the RSA squabbling, no united front would be presented. Just the lone 3rd battlegroup.

Unless he delayed!

Rengent Windsor sat up in his chair. He pulled up training stats. A hand ful of recruits here and there.... then at the veyr bottom of the list, the huge numbers he was looking for.

Not too bad!

3 more Regular Battlegroups undergoing training in the Middle East! Perhaps there still was a chance... IF the Empire could stall the Kingdom's efforts to shatter the Alliance, the RUN and its ally would not be able to invade without significant resistance! By the time they managed to do so, through their little finger-puppet, it would be too late. 4 Battle Groups in the Middle east, on either a 1 or 2 front war, depending on if Kopparsbergs took offencive actions. Perhaps the Sistani defence systems would come in handy should the Kingdom invade...

Regent Windsor drifted off in thought, and began to scribble general scenario commands and actions, should the Kingdom attack, all was to be prepared.

OOC: I am making it all myself. It's not like I'm planning to make 50,000 tanks. Just another couple hundred. Samtonia is also supplying me with alot of resources and creating some of the tanks themselves.

Same goes for the ships. Alot of the resources comes from Samtonia, but we produce them ourselves.

From: Royal India

We thank you for your offer to sell us your weapons. However, we are content with our current war machines. We will of course think of you if we are in need of future war purchases.

To: Bangladesh
From: Royal India

We regret to inform you, that our combined cooperation can no longer continue. The UARCA has declared war on your nation. Because of our close relationship with the UARCA, which has been long and beneficial, and a number of pacts and regulations installed, we are required to declare war on you aswell. In no way did we see this coming, but it is in our honor that we must act.

As of this moment, Royal India formally declares war on the independant state of Bangladesh. Our forces have already been placed for the invasion of Myanmar. The first move is yours, if you wish to make it.

[ooc: my god, the world has moved on!!!]

IC GENERAL:

The Emirate urges calm in the wake of recent hostilities in Bangladesh, and further urges a reasonable solution to the crisis.

[ooc: a big time no-no in my book: either claiming that you DON'T own a territory and yet effectively control it for your own purposes {not a la NPC either}, or claiming that it's yours and doing nothing with it. UE, either Bangladesh is yours or isn't - you can't skirt the middle ground forever, and seeing as you've already made military declarations for Bangladesh, it's kinda foolhardy to say that you don't own it - which gets to another sticking point in my line, but I'll keep away from that. I'll understand it if you want to keep Bangladesh apart from the RUN, but saying that you don't effectively own it and then popping out a military declaration is not the best way to convince people of that standard.]

[ooc: that said, if the UE controls Bangladesh, how did the UARCA suffer an attack at an embassy if there is none to lose?]


IC GENERAL again:

The Emirate is wary of events currently transpiring in the Mediterranean and in Africa, whereas the threats of conflict in the Americas have prophetically spread throughout the world, and whereas no direct breach of our neutrality has been officially sanctioned, it is dangerously close. We remind all participants that the Emirate will defend her neutrality in every way possible, with the support of the RSA in this endeavor. We favor both our friends - the RUN and Sharina - and in doing so, we militarily favor neither. However, if preferences start to reveal a general disinterest in the Emirate's sovereignty, and the overall neutrality of the Middle East, the Emirate will find it hard but necessary to dispel friendship with those that violate it. Much has come to challenge our neutrality, and even now, the Emirate works to maintain the neutrality of our forces and our domain. It is our most sincere hope that we will not become involved in this conflict.

SIC: Production has begun on two airships, the RZX Kestrel and the RZX Vulture. The Kestrel is a mobile MRLS carrier. The Vulture is a command ship for air and ground forces. They should be finished in about four months if all goes to plan. Three more ships are being put into the works for three more MRLS airships. These will hopefully be able to add a new edge to the CWAA's military.

The Government of United Citizen's Federation issues a General Mobiliztion of all Military Forces to full streaght and to stay at full readness. The borders of the UCF will be closed to all civilian travel and is restirted to military travel only. The reason for the mobiliztion of troops is because of the Empire of Vineyard is increasing hostile action towards our allies. We are still staying out of the war but we getting forces ready incase the Empire desides to bring forces to our borders and try to invade the UCF to get to the Republic of United Nations. We are also going to incearse our military forces in the area of the Med. We are not in anyway going to invade the Empire of Vineyard. We advise any nation that has civilians in our nations to please have them leave because we would not like them to die because of military action in our nation.

The CWAA would like to acquire the Island of Dominica from the RUN. We are in need of the Sugar and other crops there and would like a naval base to start up. We are planning to begin purchasing more Naval equipment and would like to see if we can award contracts for countries wishing to produce ships for us.

J.P Vorsted (the South African ambassador to Kopperburgs) looked out the window of the Boer embassy in Tel aviv to see a quite literal deluge of angry protestors at the "contraversial" South African immigration campaign..

Vorsted was not suprised and even chuckled to himself....

"how do you make Racial protection of the white South African Subtle????"

(The South African government in all her mangnamity and benevolence has extended the hand of friendship to non boer anglo saxons and have opened up the floodgates quite literally to the white world.)

Vorsted wanted to calm the Kopperburgs ambassador however as he then ordered his secretary to schedule an appointment with the Kopperburgs government.... he was also secretly pleased he scheduled an appoinment before the Kopperbugs government (would of probably) ordered one....


ooc Hehe sorry about prolonged absence, il get to my invasion of malawi too.

South Africa congratulates the Great republic of India in her diligent efforts to crush the Bangladeshi heathen that have no rightful place to co exist on the same continent.

The CWAA is sending its 12th engineers and the 123rd Infantry Brigade to thee newly acquired island of Dominica to establish order and begin construction and renovation of buildings to serve as government structures. Rosea Harbor is going to be expanded slightly to make way for a Naval Base and three Zepellin hangers are to begin construction near the harbor to house the RZX Class Zeppellins that will be shipped over to the island following completion.

A large military exercise in northern/eastern Jordan is planned to start in two days. The exercise is a result of a direct order from the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Rav Aluf Dan Halutz. He has decided that a very large military exercise must take place at least every third year – for both Kopparbergs Middle East and Kopparbergs Africa.

IDF-troops from both the Ground Forces and the Air Forces in Israel and Jordan will participate in the exercise – which is the largest IDF exercise since the Negev-desert-exercise in conjunction with ALM a couple of years ago. Some suggestions has been made about letting the Strategic Command participate in this exercise, mostly because the nuclear arsenal has expanded in the area since the withdrawal of nuclear weapons from Kopparbergs Africa, but the decision about this is unknown (nukes will however not be detonated during the exercise).

His Majesty, the Emir of ALM, wishes to convey his sincere desire to insure that those practicing Islam may not be persecuted and likewise hence be forbidden to practice their faith in expression of their wills to Allah, whereas our government has not direct desires to deter your government's wishes to establish some protection of its secularism. However, to prohibit the Faithful from practicing their faith will inevitably lead to future discord among your Muslim population and those not practicing Islam. We acknowledge that religion has been often irresponsibly used as a casus bellum, and while we do realize the advantages of pursuing secularism as a state policy, restricting religious expression is a clear violation of the human free will, and if the government of Asian China must weigh its options, let it be in favor of the free and responsible practice of religion. Religion itself is not the evil, but rather extremist ideologies that preach harm and invoke the names of Allah in vain, seeking to turn the Faithful to the Ignorant.

We likewise hope that your government turns its policy away from forbidding practice of religion and instead turn its attention more to the extremist radicals responsible for the recent tirade of attacks in the Middle East and India more recently. If we can band as countries against such ideologies, the righteous will certainly overpower the vain and ignorant.

Within the next 48 hours - weather permitting - the Emirate Space Agency will be test-launching a rocket for purposes of determining whether the first launch into space by the Emirate will be successful. There will be three test launches within the next two weeks, followed by the final demonstration and inauguration of the formal introduction of the Emirate into space exploration [my existing satellites were generously put up by someone else - not herein mentioned...]. This has been largely a domestic project, with lessons and applications learned from previous space programs and their successes and errors. While we are confident that the test launches will be successful, these launches will be the first with the intention of launching Emirate satellites into orbit, and it is uncertain whether our current modifications of existing rocket designs will be sufficient. Test labs have indicated that all should be well, but this warning goes out to those countries will civil fleets that may be passing through the Red Sea and nearby Arabian Sea. If so, we urge your governments to alert the possibility of launches during their routine voyages and a slight possibility for error as well. We appreciate the cooperation that your governments will lend to the Emirate and its Space Agency.

CROSSPOST FROM FACTBOOK

In a televised speech before the Oireachtas, Prime Minister Bertie Aherne (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Bahern.jpg) has announced the plans the Irish Republic has for the coming years. He said that Ireland would be focusing on Civilian projects, such as Infrastructural Projects (Irish National High Speed Railway, Irish National Highway System) and that Ireland will continue to invest in it's educational and healthcare system.

The Irish Defense Force however, will not be abandoned and left without funds. Money will be spent in Air Defense Systems and upgrading the Air Force. Billions may be spend in these projects [OOC. HINT: if anyone wants to make some money, feel free to offer equipment. I'm interested in planes and Air Defense Systems, but offers for the other branches will be considered for the future]. Mr. Aherne said that in these times of global unrest even a neutral country such as Ireland needs a strong Defense Force to protect it's borders and home territory.

The Prime Minister calls on the Irish People to work hard in order to build a better Ireland. The economy is growing thanks to Irish sweat, and it should continue to grow.

TEST LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch I:

The An-Nur, being the first development of ALM space exploration technology was crafted from existing rocket designs, and having undergone numerous tests and modifications for atmospheric release, the test launch at the Emirate Space Exploration Center near Djibouti will confirm or reject Emirate designs for space exploration.

At 1005 local time, the rocket launch was deemed successful, after 104 seconds of fly time. While the rocket did not reach orbit, the test launch confirms that th An-Nur is capable of space flight. A second test will be conducted shortly [within a week at best, more likely another month] to confirm whether the An-Nur can enter into orbit. A third test will conclude whether it can launch satellites into orbit. The fourth launch will be an actual launch, to send up a test satellite - to which we will invite members of the world to witness the event.

[TG6R - if you'd like, we can talk about some stuff in advance...

If anyone is asking, I've had a space exploration development program in operation, testing options and utilizing existing tech in the Emirate to prepare for these four test launches over the past 10 or so years. The four test launches will occur over the coming RL weeks, so there is no alarm that these launches are occurring too fast I hope].

SIC: A truck from Adana, surreptitiously crosses the border from uncontrolled territory in Moorington into the Syrian mandates of Vineyard. Their destination is unknown, their intent equally unknown, and their load suspicious. The men driving the truck are known participants in the JIHADI organization, and their load is thence likely arms and weapons to start war within Vineyardian Syria. As part of JIHADI ambitions to take the war to the RSA, it is likely to provoke some response from the UCR and Vineyard - all part of their intentions.

[ooc: I'd say more but then that would kill the surprise...]

[ooc: last chance for Vineyard to make an impact].

SIC: The truck arrived in Aleppo near dusk. They found an old garage, where they paid themselves a spot to keep their truck with the mechanics. No one bothered to look inside the truck - too much chaos had come already from the Sistani occupation, and the people were settling into peaceful ways; perhaps it was their sweet desire for bliss that blinded them from it. Nonetheless, JIHADI operatives had arrived at their destination, and there, they would make an impact, that would rouse the Vineyardian Empire to do something about it. But until then, they rested for the dawn to come.

OOC: Five Oscar II Class submarines were moved to the Luzon Strait in this previous post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12324106&postcount=1373).

Orders for Oscar-II Class submarines 949.1 and 949.2

Go submerged in silent mode to the inlet of the Davao Gulf, coordinates 127E6.5N. Your priority is to not get detected. When in proper location, go to periscope deep and launch 12 SS-N-19 Granit cruise missiles each at preprogrammed targets in Davao City. When you're done, dive to preferred deep and return to previous location in the Luzon Strait.

The crew at submarine 949.1 was prepared for this kind of order. They knew that this was for real when the order was received.

The XO, Shi Jun, ordered the submarine to begin its move towards the position at 127E6.5N. The trip would take about twelve hours in silent mode, and the submarine would be virtually invisible to the surrounding in this low speed.

The other submarine, 949.2 was a couple of kilometers behind 949.1, also going to their launch position.

Projects revealed plus an unexpected announcement

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

After a year of planning and designing the Government finally announced the Infrastructure Projects. More than $2.5 billion/year will be spend on the following projects:
-A High Speed Railway along the eastern coast, connecting Cork-Waterford-Dublin-Belfast.
-Another High Speed Railway linking Galway with Dublin and Belfast.
-Current Railways will be improved, carriages and engines modernized and stations adjusted to modern requirements.
-Modernizing and expanding the Highway Network. In Urban Areas toll will be raised on some routes.

These projects will be ready by 2010 (assuming it is 2007). Eventhough most of the work will be done by irish Companies, there are some major contracts to be won by foreign companies. These incude the Railway carriages and engines.

In the same speech before the Oireachtas Prime Minister Bertie Aherne also shocked the opposition by announcing a complete overhaul over the Armed Forces. All Armored Regiments will be combined in one single Armored Brigade, Two Mechanized Infantry Brigades will be formed and one Air Mobile Brigade of 4500 men will be founded. The purchasing of 24 Eurofighter Typhoons and 12 F2 Mitsubishi Fighters will continue as planned. The search for Air Defense Systems will not be halted. The opposition reacted immediately with the comment that only 1.5 years ago the Prime Minister promised that the Armed Forces would only be modernized, not expanded. The Prime Minister reacted by saying that this increase is necessary for the defense of the Republic. The opposition also announced that the expansion of the Armed Forces would be a crucial point in the coming elections (next Sunday IRL).

OOC:
If this is meant as a reaction towards my submarines' planned attack, I think you're a litte bit to early as they only are moving into positions. And all was SIC.

If it's meant as a reaction towards the banning of religion, then your comment is welcome, and I'll answer it IC.

His Majesty, the Emir of ALM, wishes to convey his sincere desire to insure that those practicing Islam may not be persecuted and likewise hence be forbidden to practice their faith in expression of their wills to Allah, whereas our government has not direct desires to deter your government's wishes to establish some protection of its secularism. However, to prohibit the Faithful from practicing their faith will inevitably lead to future discord among your Muslim population and those not practicing Islam. We acknowledge that religion has been often irresponsibly used as a casus bellum, and while we do realize the advantages of pursuing secularism as a state policy, restricting religious expression is a clear violation of the human free will, and if the government of Asian China must weigh its options, let it be in favor of the free and responsible practice of religion. Religion itself is not the evil, but rather extremist ideologies that preach harm and invoke the names of Allah in vain, seeking to turn the Faithful to the Ignorant.

We likewise hope that your government turns its policy away from forbidding practice of religion and instead turn its attention more to the extremist radicals responsible for the recent tirade of attacks in the Middle East and India more recently. If we can band as countries against such ideologies, the righteous will certainly overpower the vain and ignorant.

~ Foreign Ministry of ALM.
To: The Foreign Ministry of ALM

We're doing this because we're convinced it's the best thing for our people.
The human free will sometimes must stand back for the interest of our nation's security and stability. Religion is banned in Asian China now, and we're going to make sure the people of Asian China lives up to it. As long as the Muslims in Asian China ends their religious practices they will be fine, but if they continue to go to the mosques and minarets we cannot guarantee their safety.

If all countries in this unstable world followed our example, more than 50% of the wars would end (or not even start), and we hereby recommend ALM to ban all religious practices inside the Middle East.

It was a great day at Loftus versfeld.... before the semi final of the annual "Currie Cup" south African rugby tournament between North Transvaal and the cape (r.ly its different but i think the currie cups a real s.a tournament) President Jacob de vries marched down to the rugby ground flanked by a plethora of his bodyguard...

The ambience was of respectful silence, as jacob gave both Rugby teams an inspection of honour ( In which he gave the black wingers a magnanimous nod...) before getting up to the podium where he was going to make his speech....

He began....

"Boer Volk!!!!, I salute you, in times of such adversity the South African people have stood proud... we are have a strong presence in Africa and because of the oil in cabinda...."

" But Im afraid I digress countrymen.... What i am here to say is... Our delegation team to the International "soccer" association has been a success, The age of ostracism appears to be over for the Volk.... what will happen from here is anyones guess, but for one thing i will petition the International Rugby board for re admittance back into rugby circles... I am proud to say that I am in direct consultation with the new Zealand and Australian governments about a Springbok rugby tour.... success is imminent, For the Volk, For the Veurkleur!!!"

jacob finished his speech waiting for his message to sink in to the 45,000 strong crowd at loftus...

the cacophony of national fervour was almost deafening and it took a full 10 minutes to actually start the rugby game....

(hey guys, for a bit of contraversy how about S.A send their soccer team to do a tour or a few friendly matches in you country, It would make anc interesting R.p, (anybody hear about the 1981 Springbok rugby tour to N.Z? If you havent you could proably guess that the welcome at the time wasnt particulaly warm :D )

Davao Gulf, Philippines, 6°5'N 127°0'E

The two submarines were in their right position, the inlet of the Davao Gulf. The XO on submarine 949.1, Shi Jun, ordered the submarine to periscope deep. He looked in the periscope, and he saw nothing but a calm sea and the island of Mindanao at the horizon. "It's perfect conditions" he thought for himself. He gave an order to surface, and the big submarine slowly broke the surface of the Davao Gulf.

"Open doors one to six!"

"Confirm coordinates for the missiles in tubes one to twelve."

"Confirmed!"

"Fire!"

12 SS-N-19 Granit cruise missiles roared away from the submarine, and 30 seconds later the same scenario was seen in the other submarine, 949.2. A total of 24 SS-N-19 cruise missiles was on their way to preprogrammed targets in the city Davao. The targets was i.e. the airport, the port, a big mall and such.

Immediately when the 12 missiles were fired from each submarine the XO gave order to submerge. But just before they dived a message was relied via satellite to Xiangshan:

Davao-mission completed STOP 24 Granits on their way OVER

OOC:
Each submarine carries 24 Granit SS-N-19 missiles in two banks of 12 tubes mounted outside the pressure hull. Six large doors, hinged on the outside, cover the tubes in pairs on either side of the sail.

Zhao Ziyang

Reply to Asian China:

It is the firm opinion of the Emirate - of the Royal Court and the Emirate Parliament - that to adopt the practice of intolerance of religions is incompatible with our state system, and that we will do all in our capacity to preserve the religious practice of tolerance above all - because it is the practice of the government of Asian China to adopt a religion that seeks extinguish other religions - among these including the testaments of the Faithful. We hope that your government turns away from this religious practice, as it is likely to sour relations between our two states - ours being a state that fights against all extreme forms and ideologies of religious practice, one extreme being the invocation of Allah in the works of man and the other being the repression of the faith of those submitting to Allah. And we say this with our general perspective of what it means to be faithful, but the truth is that we acknowledge the beliefs of all Emirate citizens, and we avoid steering ourselves to acknowledge the extremes of human faith.

We again urge your government to consider the alternatives, but we relinquish any further attempts to sway your opinions. We caution that His Highness will not take slightly to the murder of those practicing in peace, and that if your government seeks to repress them harshly, we offer asylum to those who will be persecuted by your state, at least to offer them escape from these actions which are to be committed against them.

The second launch will begin within the next 24 hours - the same general warnings were issued to all arriving and departing vessels. The second launch will test An-Nur's ability to sustain orbit under minimal conditions [that is, without a satellite, extra cargo].

The South African government in due reciprocation to Kopperburgs is saddened by the negative reaction we have received..

Neuclear power will sustain the Southern african continent for centuries. It is also a cheap source of energy for the deprived "elements" of our society.

To embellish on our racial strucutre, we have merely created Individual bantustans (if you will) for the Boer to call home (which is the Transvaal, Ntal and the orange free state,) all blacks have the right to vote in their Bantustans and are free to visit or immigrate The Boer state (boerstaat).

It is the perfect compromise between majority rule and minority rule. (both of which would have adverse affects for both cultures)

The central government is in Capetown, (a sort of middeleground) and the senate is 52% white and 48% black, The reform bill is going to reduce this to 50-50 in a few months.

now before you get all self righteous that the white minority representation should be in relation to its population (this will not work, as prior to the assimilation of new Rhodesia/ Zimbabwe, The Black Regime Persecuted whites to the point of genocide because when the white regime their relinquished power it was totally arbitrary with no thought of what would happen when the hardline ZMP party ascended to power in the 80s.)

The communist and socialist parties are still banned however and will have no representatioin in parliament in the near future.

The state advertisement was from the Boerstaat (we will change the nations name from the Boer republic to the Union of Southern Arica) and whilst the advertisment may of been a bit overzealous, we need to make Southern Africa a more equitable society and justify our representation in parliament..

For all white families abortion is currently illegal and we have incentives for White families to reach a quota of 4-5 children each.

the projected population for whites for 2020 is estimated to be 10.5 million with our plan.

TEST LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch II:

The second launch began at 0751 local time [Djibouti]. The rocket reached the higher peripheries of the atmosphere before commencing on a progressive orbital track. After one complete orbit of the rocket's principal components [87 minutes at the altitude of about 150 kilometers], the launch was concluded as a success. Already, preparations are underway to commence the third test as soon as possible - the objectives of which are intended to test if the rocket can successfully launch a satellite object into space. Although the third test launch will not launch an actual satellite, the object will be capable of relaying messages and communication between two different points, which will serve as the test for the launch. At the moment, the rocket component is echoing an Arabic Morse Code transcription of the Shahadah, although in the next five days, its trajectory will pull it into the Earth's atmosphere, where it will degenerate over the Southern Indian Ocean.

We will welcome you warmly. The first day we will tour the area in Dublin where the new Central Station will be build. The second day we will tour the three possible routes from Dublin to Cork, on day three the two possible routes to Belfast, on day four the two possible routes to Galway and on day five we will tour the possible routes between Galway and Belfast. We will finish the bussiness with a banquet in the evening of the fifth day. Does the Right-Conservative Monocracy want to change the program?

Prime Minister Pat Tribitte
Foreign Minister Bertie Aherne

We agree to the sending the top five of the Irish Military Academy to attend classes at the University of the Reich—Weißwasser.

We thank the Right-Conservative Monocracy deeply. We are sure that the students will become future leaders of Ireland due to their experience gained at Weisswasser.

Defense Minister Willie O' Dea

TEST LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch II:

The second launch began at 0751 local time [Djibouti]. The rocket reached the higher peripheries of the atmosphere before commencing on a progressive orbital track. After one complete orbit of the rocket's principal components [87 minutes at the altitude of about 150 kilometers], the launch was concluded as a success. Already, preparations are underway to commence the third test as soon as possible - the objectives of which are intended to test if the rocket can successfully launch a satellite object into space. Although the third test launch will not launch an actual satellite, the object will be capable of relaying messages and communication between two different points, which will serve as the test for the launch. At the moment, the rocket component is echoing an Arabic Morse Code transcription of the Shahadah, although in the next five days, its trajectory will pull it into the Earth's atmosphere, where it will degenerate over the Southern Indian Ocean.

OCC: Time for a little fun...

IC: While the Madagascan Government applauds the Emirate's successful test, it doesn't appreciate having space debris rained down all over it's country and people. Thankful, no one was hurt as remnants of the rocket fell to Earth-however there was some property damage to homes and automobiles. If your government continues it's new space program, which we hope it will. We request (advise) you to have the trajectory of the returning space craft/components be over the Pacific and not the Southern Indian Ocean. If, you would like to have your components returned please let us know.

Sincerely, President Marc Ravalomanana :D

SIC: The Republican Nations of Bangladesh, Madagascar and Sri Lanka wish to place a contract with the Emirate to acquire petroleum(oil). The amount requested is 85,000 bbl/day to be sent to Bangladesh, 36,500 bbl/day to be sent to Madagascar and 82,000 for Sri Lanka for a grand total of 203,500 bbl/day. Let us know the cost so that the necessary funds can be arranged. If, this contract is approved-additional orders might follow not just for Petroleum but, also for Natural Gas and other natural resources.

Thank you for your time.

[ooc: a technicality, the majority - if not all - of the rocket will vaporize when assuming re-entry. That said... another twist]

Emir Jalal sends his condolences to the government of Madagascar, and furthermore to its citizens. However, he must advise your government to be wary of the falling material, as our rocket is still in space, and still sending its transmissions. It is possible that you have someone else's satellite or space equipment, perhaps one of those "spy satellites." Nonetheless, we will send a team from Djibouti to investigate and ensure that it is not Emirate technology.

In regards to the relocation of the drops, the Emirate has absolutely no control over any coastline in the Pacific Ocean, and therefore to drop equipment in that region - either for re-entry of manned spacecraft or for general operating procedures - would be in part beyond our capabilities. We do empathize with your government's desires, but unless they can guarantee the Emirate access to the waters over which these spacecraft will be entering, we cannot afford to practice trajectories over the Pacific Ocean. That said, we will make every attempt to avoid bringing the material over your territories and thus into unclaimed waters - or at best our own.


To address your requests for oil from the Emirate - we must have clear and irrefutable evidence that your governments are not affiliated with the current conflict raging around the world. If so, we can arrange the exchange of oil - at Al Arabiyya standard rates of $40 per barrel [it's cheap, so long as the demand does not radically increase, which it will likely become, once we get to more realistic economies...]. We look forward to seeing the continuing interactions with you and your fellow governments. We apologize for any concern that these incidents might have caused.

TEST LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch III:

The third test launch of An-Nur will occur within the next 48 hours. Ships passing by the area have been given the same warnings as previously given in the past two tests. Specialists anticipate that this third test will be another great success given the relative ease of the past two tests. The launching of satellites into orbit will soon be a part of the domestic Emirate technological advancement - a great step up from the past employment of foreign satellites to suit the Emirate's needs. Specialists have waited long for the Emirate to produce these sorts of capabilities, and it isn't long before the Emirate can boast a new domestic program.

Semi SIC.

The Republic of Ireland watches the tests made by the ALM Space Agency. In these times of modern communication the Republic sees the importance of satellites. Perhaps, in the near future, the Republic will enquire if Irish Communication Satellites can be brought into orbit by ALM.

ooc. perhaps an introduction to future RP's...

OCC: Actually, quite a bit of it would make it through the atmosphere. More specify, the engine components which are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. Also, as good examples-see the Mir Space Station and sadly the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. If, the piece of debris is big enough and were here for the sake of arguments assuming it is, it's going to make it to Earth. So, for the sake of agruements assume some debris did make it through. Also, I want to add that the previous message I sent was based on the assumption that your craft had already re-entered and it has been 5-6 days including another 2-3 days after the event of your rocket re-entering the atmosphere and returning to Earth. As you might recall each week is one year in Earth V. Which, makes each day about 1 to 2 months. Now, if your going on each day being equal to a real life day as from the looks of it, then just assume that my message comes whenever that is after your rocket has fallen back to Earth. Sorry, for the long OCC message. I do have an IC message and here it is.

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

IC: While it is possible some of the pieces my be from another space craft that your rocket might have collided with? Our investigations shown that some of the debris is indeed belonging to the Emirate. We'll be glad to share our files with you on the specifics of the investigation.

SIC Part: However, if you are concerned with national humiliation or worried about my government seeking monetary compensation from you-my government seeks neither to humiliate the Emirate nor to be compensated for the damage done. However, the Republic and its many members don't appreciate being lied to as we both know your space craft is neither in orbit nor transmitting any signals. All we request from the Emirate is that the your government be more aware of where it has it's space craft re-enter the Earth's Atmosphere and thereby return to Earth. The Indian Ocean is a highly inhabited area. We suggest either the South Pacific or the North Atlantic as better locations to have your test space craft or regular space craft return to Earth at. While the various of the Republic lack any holdings in the Pacific, there are holdings in the North Atlantic that could be leased to the Emirate or jointly operated. (OCC: Specially the Azores).

SIC: About the Oil While we the nations of Bangladesh, Madagascar and Sri Lanka are allied or have associations with the nations currently involved in the conflict we have decided for the time being like the Emirate to remain neutral.

We plan to send no troops whatsoever to fight abroad. {OCC: I would like to add that as per agreement Bangladesh will not unless it self attack which I highly doubt will happen, will in anyway be involved in this war. So getting Oil for them shouldn't conflict with your declared neutrality. As for, Madagascar and Sri Lanka that's up to you to decided.} We agree to your price as set and we thank you for your quick reply on this matter. If, you have any other concerns please let us know.

[ooc: last chance for Vineyard to make an impact].

SIC: The truck arrived in Aleppo near dusk. They found an old garage, where they paid themselves a spot to keep their truck with the mechanics. No one bothered to look inside the truck - too much chaos had come already from the Sistani occupation, and the people were settling into peaceful ways; perhaps it was their sweet desire for bliss that blinded them from it. Nonetheless, JIHADI operatives had arrived at their destination, and there, they would make an impact, that would rouse the Vineyardian Empire to do something about it. But until then, they rested for the dawn to come.

ooc: Sorry aboutmy recent absence. Ill try to post more often.

And as I said before, the Empire in Syria and Iraq is currently training new Battlegroups, etc. Security arounds those sites is rather strong, but otherwise, the Empire is not on alert in that region. Afterall, the Empire believes its amungst friends, so security is rather lax (Except along the Iraqi-Kuwaiti Coast).

Also, another thing to note. The Empire will not take kindly to supplying the RUN with Oil... Simply put: You are giving them the means to launch an invasion from those areas: Supplying the oil with which the RUN can fuel the tank that could kill an Imperial Soldier.

SIC reply @ RUN: It has been reviewed in our case, and it is very possible that the An-Nur Test Launch I made its re-entry over Madagascar, and that its re-entry had caused the damage while the An-Nur Test II was still aloft. We have sent the team to recover the material, and our Ministry of Charity and Hajj has accorded a fund to pay for the damages caused. We apologize for the misunderstanding, and while we cannot fully appreciate the request to re-route re-entry trajectories to the Pacific Ocean, we will make certain that our calculations are more accurate and land over territories that are either unoccupied or uninhabitable, preferably the ocean itself. We hope that this incident has not caused much fury, and that its resolution helps the mend the wounds it inflicted.

In the wake of the recent developements in the Caribbean, the Island of Dominica is being placed under Martial Law for the people's safety. Elements of the Central Reserves from Mali and parts of Mauritania are being shipped over to the Island to bolster defenses. The 12th Engineers are currently constructing coastal defense positions to ward off a possible annexation by hostile forces. The Premier sent a message out today stating that "The FSWA will maintain its neutrality unless Dominica or any other holdings are attacked. The part responsible shall be declared an enemy of the Federation and retaliated upon."

SIC: The material in question will be turned over to you once my government has finished it's investigation. There are still a few unanswered questions that first need to be solved. Once our internal investigation of the debris is finished all pieces that have been determined to belong to the Emirate will be turned over. As my government stated early, we require nor seek any financial compensation from you. Yes, there was damage. However, our main concern as stated in contacting you was to make sure this accident doesn't happen again. Thankfully, no one was killed and since you have readjusted your calculations to make them more accurate we consider the matter resolved. We thank you for your quick replies and understanding.

While we would have preferred all that we ask for, we understand your concerns and agree to your terms you have set. If war should come to those of us in the Indian Ocean, we will understand if you void the contract. We have no hostile intentions towards the Emirate and hopefully when this bloody war ends, both the Republic and the Emirate will be able to resume normal trading of goods without fear.

-Swiss/Italian Border-

A column of infantry, with weapons slung over their shoulders, marched along either side of a large military highway as supply vehicles zoomed to and fro, ferrying armaments, equipment, and food stuffs into Switzerland.

At the border crossing, little more than a checkpoint (As the nations of TGSR and Vineyard have very open relations), border patrol agents from both sides watched these Infantrymen file past, while sharing a mid-day luncheon. The banner of the 8th battlegroup flew from the leading armored vehicles, as they straddled both sides of the road. The Despite its status as a reserve Battlegroup, the 8th had been mobilized to its fullest, and each man was to participate in these 'War games" in Germany. In reality, each man knew what was expected of them. They would train in the same climate and environment that the Netherlands shared with Germany, a climate that they expected would see the order, civility, and equality that the Empire brought with it, they expected to see the Imperial banner fly over Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Brussels. They expected status as a victorious army.

And the glorious thing about it -- the Enemy would never see them coming. The nation of the Great Sixth Reich had publically announced its neutrality in the war, and had 'closed its borders' to both sides. And here, in this overcast mountain pass, the enemy could neither see nor do anything about their passage.

The 8th marched on, without any concern for speed or efficiency, as it was, after all, a "War Game" they were heading to...

Dominnica Continues to be fortified. So far there have been ten anti-shipping missile emplacements set up across the island, fifteen 127mm DefGuns, and numerous bunkers. The ISD along with the engineers have constructed six Civil Defense stations across the island.

JIHADI STRIKE IN ALEPPO

A tape was released two hours ago by extremists from the international JIHADI organization, after having had no serious attacks in recent months. There were three masked men, declaring the "righteous war" against Vineyardian forces in Iraq and Kuwait, detesting their presence in the Middle East and their alliance with the "infidel Jews of Kopparbergs" among other complaints. They have demanded that Vineyard vacate the Syria, Iraq, and Kuwait; that they cancel their alliance with Kopparbergs; and that they convert to the "one true faith" [Islam] and "help" purge the world of the Kopparbergs regime and their ALM and UCR allies.

This tape was followed with reports from various sources claiming that Aleppo had been struck. Pictures from the city were available, but their credibility have not been attested at the moment. Nonetheless, the testimony seems to be genuine, revealing a massive bombing of the government administration offices. An apparently large load Moorington explosives from Turkey had been smuggled into the city through the Syrian border where they had stocked a grandiose attack on the city. Virtually, an entire city block was demolished with neighboring areas receiving some moderate damage. Civilian losses remain unconfirmed. The Emirate of Alif Laam Miim is reportedly inquiring the Vineyardian government in the Iraq to attest whether the attacks are true while condemning the nature of the attacks all the same, whether they are real or not. At the moment, the world awaits news from Aleppo and from the Empire of Vineyard about the details of these events.


[ooc: @ UE: my honest interpretation of the time was that one RL day was one EV day - although there are some aspects of that interpretation that are invalid, because I realize that most of my launches are spaced too close to each others. A better and more accurate interpretation: 1 RL day ~ 2 EV days. I wanted my launch scheme to run on one launch per week, or that time thereabout.]

The Republic of Ireland is shocked and offers Vineyard help if they need any. The Republic nonetheless gives it's support to Vineyard and strongly condemns the actions of the so called Jihadi's. They give all of Islam a bad name, which is disastrous to their own faith.

King Juan Carlos I or Juan Carlos I, King of Spain, died today at 7:44 p.m., Central European Time (CET). Born on January 5, 1938 in Rome, Juan Carlos has ruled Spain since 1975 and the Iberian Kingdom since 2006. His death brings great sadness to all those who knew him and to the people of Spain. It was during the early reign of Juan Carlos I that he began what would become the successfully transition of Spain to what it is today, a democratic constitutional monarchy. What had been the authoritarian state created by Francisco Franco at the end of the Spanish Civil War came to an end through the direct and indirect actions of our former King and Head of State. For his selfless act of giving up personnel power to allow the democratize of the country, he will be greatly remember and revered. Though the cause of his sudden death remains unknown, it is believed to have been due to natural causes from the stress over the past few years. His loss to Spain and the Iberian Kingdom will be greatly felt in the years to come. Felipe, Prince of Asturias as heir apparent will succeed his father to the Spanish throne, he will be known as King Philip VI of Spain.

Aleppo, Syria.

A day had passed since the tragic incident. Provincial and City Patrolmen had the site locked down, while Imperial Police investigated the incident. Thanks to the tape, the Policemen had the attacker's location narrowed to Iraq and Kuwait, as they named those two nations for the site of a 'holy war', yet demanded the release of Syria, Iraq and Kuwait from Imperial Rule.

The new battlegroups were immediatly mobilized, and each squad was assigned to their own individual neighborhoods, towns, and residential districts. The Imperial Army knew how to fight an enemy, and fight it well, but when it came to counter-insurgency, they knew exactly what to do from experience. Immediatly, the squads were sent to live in their 'districts', to get to know the people and befriend them. Each Squad was to aid in the maintenence of their districts, weather it was providing additional security to repairing a broken kitchen drawer. If the people did rise up, it would be right under the thumb of the Imperial Army, and it would be against their own brothers and sisters. Although the 3rd battlegroup was in the area, their origional reconstruction and patrol tasks were maintained, with only the recently trained and equipped local units being given the duty of 'befriending' the populace. If this were to succeed, peace was to be maintained at all costs. Provincial Poliece locked down borders, City poliece doubled their patrols. The 3rd Battlegroup kept a tight grip on the Provincial and National Highways, ensuring that anyone without the proper papers was 'properly questioned'.

The Imperial Intellegence Agency had, in the meantime, begun to assemble a strike team to eliminate any secutiry threats inside Turkey. The UCR was not to be consulted. If they found out that the Empire was to be behind the up-comming counterstrikes, then hard-cheese. As if the Empire would listen to their fussing. The security of the State was at stake, and no risks were to be taken in those regards.

TEST LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch III:

After delays, the An-Nur Test Launch III after general warnings were given in the local vicinity. Using new trajectories employed by scientists at the Space Centers in Djibouti and Al Qahirah, the rocket remnants would re-enter safely into waters far from any land - save a few uninhabited islands by random chance. The Emirate would disclose the course to the countries affected before the parts would land - to acknowledge an error and remedy the situation immediately.

The launch began at 0951 local time, with much success. The limited satellite probe was successfully ejected at an orbit of 200km, orbiting the earth once every 90 minutes. Its orbit was sufficient to sustain its path for at least 100 days before returning to the Earth. With the success of the An-Nur test launches, the Space Center was confident enough to announce an abortion of test launch IV, and proceed with the live demonstration soon. This was met with some protest from some scientists, claiming that the fourth test launch was a security check against a possible error that could have accrued in the previous test launches unnoticed. Nonetheless, the Space Agency has been granted permission to launch the live satellite, which would serve as the first domestically launched communications relay platform for the Emirate in its entire history. With the anticipated success of the launch, the Emir has invited world leaders from around the leader - those with which the Emirate currently maintains diplomatic relations - to witness the event. The TG6R delegate - having been already invited to Djibouti - was noticeably omitted from the list, although suspicions are revealed that the TG6R diplomat would receive special treatment - a seat by the Emir reviewing the Space Launch from the Royal Pavallion at the Space Center in Djibouti.

The neuclear submarine mas approximatly halfway between the South African mainland and the prince edward Islands....

Captain John Sayle did his usual morning inspection around the submarine. he laughed to himself...

the submarine was like a bad metaphor for the seemingly perpetual white oppresssion as many of the black seamen were singing old mine songs as if they were still back working for 11 Rand an hour in the city of gold. whilst the majority of the white crew were on their break

Sayle guessed the close confines of the submarine accentuated the social predicament. not that he cared much.. he had a job to do.... and that was to demonstrate South Africas neuclear prowess.

(and if The president told him to demostrate south africas prowess in the predominantly black coastal town of East London he would do so. the sacry thing is the fact that sayle could just assimilate to his political sorroundings. the under orders assumpiton alwasy took presidence in John Sayles mindset.)

Sayle then said crisply to his Leutenant John Mponzo how far they were toThe Edward islands......

ROCKET LAUNCH - An-Nur Launch IV:

After preliminary discussions, the Emirate Space Agency has decided to proceed with the fourth launch, using the live satellite - to be the first domestically launched orbital object from the Emirate. The Emir has sent invitations around the world to witness the event, from the Space Agency Control Center in Djibouti. Launch warnings were issued to all applicable agencies, concerning the launch of the rocket within 72 hours.

Walvis Baai has officially been locked down for an indeterminable period and the governor of namibia Frikkie du Rand has emphatically warned citizens travelling out of Windhoek or other major namibian cities to stay out of the proximity of Walvis Baai.

This applies to all other citizens of the republic.

An anonymous government spokesman spoke to the media minutes ago...

"we are in dark times fellow countrymen, the suprising dis intergration of a stable force on the african continent has caused concern in the South african parliament today... we believe this situation has instigated more audacious BLA terrorist manoevers and it is only a matter of time before they strike again...."

"we are principly conerned about the rogue black state of nigeria who have no fondness of the boer ,english or even the "zulu" and other groups in our country. we must send a emphatic message to the heart of darkness that is the capital of Nigeria, dont mess with South africa...

We have also started reequip the military and police for of the United Kingdoms. With the way everything has happen the military and police forces of the United Kingdom will end up keeping 95% of there current manpower but we are allowing anyone that doesn't want to work or fight for the Government to be given honorable discharge for their service to their nation.

We would also like to say that we have had artillery attacks from the nation of Democratic People's Republic of Korea. In a meeting of the UCF National Defense Command they have seen fit to Declare War on the Government of Democratic People's Republic of Korea. We will be sending any force needed to stop this threat from taking any land from the Republic of Korea. With this war happing on the Korean Peninsula the Imperial Japanese Government has also sent force to help as they are one of the forming members of the United Citizen's Federation. The full military might of the United Citizen's Federation will be brought down on the Government of Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

OCC: I could always help you...:D

The Emirate strongly encourages the Boer Republik to reconsider its proposed policies regarding nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons will have an immense destabilizing effect upon the African Continent, and it is clear and apparent that the monopoly over nuclear weapons will push the continent into an arms race. Instead, we wish to establish a common initiative to bring prosperity to the whole continent.


A more general announcement:

As the ally of the former Kingdom of Kopparbergs, the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim wishes to declare our protectorship over the territories of their former sovereign rule, until plebiscite elections are completed in the region and each state can decide its own responsibilities. Any attack to disturb this process without the consent of the peole affected will be considered a declaration of war upon the Emirate and her allies. We encourage other states to respect the sovereignty of the states of the former Kingdom of Kopparbergs and likewise to refrain from spreading conflict onto the African continent.

DJIBOUTI


News has come from the Space Launch of the An-Nur Rocket - Launch IV - has confirmed that the Emir Jalal has been shot. No further details can be given at this moment, but as precautionary measures, Prime Minister Adobo Hallesie has ordered the city in lockdown, with the 2nd Abyssinian Division to assist in efforts with the National Guard, National Security Forces, and Coast Guard to capture the assailants promptly.

"These criminals will not be given a chance to breathe free air unless we let them," he remarked in comments given at a press conference at the Space Launch. Unconfirmed details support the presence of a TG6R high delegation present with the Emir, but it is uncertain who at the moment, and it is further uncertain what connection the Monocracy played in this event, if at all. JIHADI terrorists are being blamed at the moment, but no tangible proof has been released by any authorities.

This press release was followed with a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Prime Minister Yusuf Hassan - As Prime Minister of the Emirate, I hold a deep resentment for the men who committed this atrocity, and Allah be merciful for the Emirate shall strike a vengeance upon you who did this. You have tried to steal our great leader, and place him at the helm of Allah - to decide between life or death. If life be given, we may spare you, as Allah dictates. But if death is the fate, then our resolve shall stop at nothing to make certain you will pay. We have unconfirmed evidence that this act was sponsored by a foreign entity, and there is some speculation that JIHADI terrorists committed the act. However, the Emirate is still looking for evidence, and we are not so wary to point the blame at anyone at the moment. For the moment, we are satisfied by telling whoever is responsible that you have dug your grave, and we will bury you.

We will accept any support from intelligence abroad that assists in finding the assassins. Abyssinia and Chad have both cabled my offices in Al Qahirah, offering the same support for these actions, and though we share the same father, we would appreciate the concern from other countries in giving us vital information that will avenge this grave atrocity.

At this moment, I am permitted by the Royal House to disclose his situation. He is currently in an undisclosed hospital in Djibouti, where news of our successful launch of An-Nur simultaneously met the news of the shooting. The shot was done be an expert sniper from at least 1000 meters, perhaps more. The bullet entered his shoulder where it crossed in his arm to his back. His condition is critical, and doctors are currently aiming to stabilize his vital signs. We are not able to say much more about this incident, but know - whoever is responsible - if you wanted us to reply, you have found the response, and we will be righteous in our vengeance.

A new report from the Foreign Ministry:

EMIR JALAL IBN ABBAS IBN MAHMUD ABD ALLAH AL MISRI has passed away in Djibouti at around 2241 hours. Doctors attempted to stabilize his condition, but as the bullet had severed the right axillary artery, causing a massive internal hemorrhage, as well as excessive external blood loss. The Emir was likely unconscious at the time of death, and duely his passing was calm. A news announcement is expected from the Office of the Prime Minister is expected soon.

A message from the Prime Minister's Office in Al Qahirah -

"As the world knows, the Emir and commander of Alif Laam Miim is now dead. Those responsible know our intentions, those counted among our friends share our grief, those counted among our enemies will only temporarily rejoice, because we will not let such a travesty pass slightly.

"I come with details concerning the will and testament of the late Emir. As part of his Royal Succession, it has been decided by His Majesty to anoint Crown Prince Aziz as Salah as the new Emir of Alif Laam Miim. While His Majesty is away in Paris, we cannot perform the ceremony to ordain him officially, but I pray Allah's blessings nonetheless for him, as he bears the burden of these killers. He carries the weight of a great land that shows great potential for the world. It is my hope that he does well with this potential. I may soon be leaving my post, due to age and political will, but he stays until the end of his life - when Allah commands it. May he be blessed with wisdom and power, for he will need it most when he is our faithful leader.

"I wish I could share more, but grief holds the country, and while I can make no edict concerning the state of mourning, I believe it is true that the Emirate is already in mourning, as I have seen the streets shrouded in a dark veil. Later today, I intend to join them, and I may pray that Allah cover the world with His Gracious Veil, to show us that Allah shares our misery, and to show our assailants that their time is near an end. As Salasm alaikum."

With Aziz in Al Qahirah, the Royal Family of Khalifa-Misri performed a funeral throughout the city. The Emir's body is set for a tour of Al Qahirah for the last time in front the people and the Army. His final resting place is set for Makkah on a last Hajj to the Holy City, where he will be buried.

http://www.gulfnews.com/images/06/01/05/05_pg2_maktoum_funeral05_4.jpg

Crown Prince Aziz will be crowned Emir of Alif Laam Miim after the burial in Makkah, although at the moment, the itinerary of the Royal Hajj has not been disclosed, owing to the recent assassination of the Emir, to avoid another attempt on the Royal Family. In the meantime, security around the entire Emirate has been upscaled significantly, with Djibouti having been almost completely quarantined, except for essential goods.

In cape town the official public announcement to develop a neuclear powerstation went down like a lead balloon.

The Table mountain symbolising nature in all her majesty to co exist with a neuclear powerstation That symbolises mans attempt to the contrary?

This comes at a time when South Africa suggested to host the Next G8 summit in Cape Town (to some peoples perceptions this is a vain attempt to justify South Africas neuclear ambitions to the worlds stage.)

Security measures have escalating to the point they measured the military presence at the Race Riots in the 1960s,70s and 1990s.

In Luanda, Angola growing concern is that their oil revenues will be significantly cut thanks to South Africas seemingly inherant jealousy That a member state in her own Union has something over the Fatherland. (which is oil) And the irony is that 67% of the oil production goes directly to South Africa anyway.

SIC to ALM:

The Great Sixth Reich will have its intelligence agencies cooperate in the investigation.

IC: The Emirate expresses its sincere gratitude to the Right-Conservative Monocracy, and we are assured that the world mourns the death of our great leader. We are still tracking the trail of the murderers, but with the support of the world against them, we shall surely prevail. We have unfortunately closed the city of Djibouti to root out the killers, although we have received indication that Herr Göring arrived safely after the attack.

We maintain our resolve to end this threat of radical Islam, either under the banner of the JIHADI terrorists or under any other banner that should ever rise to threaten our security and our prosperity. We are adamant about this, and we hope that the world shares our dreams as well.


SIC: We are pleased to have your cooperation. We have compiled a trace of all the phone conversations dialed from Djibouti in the past days, although it seems that they have been silent mostly. We will appreciate any further details that your intelligence services can provide, and we are assuredly in your debt for all of the assistance your intelligence services have provided us.

Official Release from the Emirate:

The last few days have tried all of us, and it is seldom the case when the king takes rein from the dead grips of his father. It is further seldom when the son make take it with bloodied hands and a vengeance willing to cry to the Heavens for an end to evil and violence. I have seen the worst of miseries, and while my father has left a legacy that is insurmountable, I believe that I share the visions for a peaceful Middle East, and the end of radical Islam. That threat was borne by the last state in Sistan, and more recently by JIHADI terrorists. I am glad to say that our allies in the UCR are making the last stand for JIHADI terrorists in the former areas of Turkish Moorington, making the world safer, and Sistan has long since died; it was over before I was ever born.

But there are still enemies to us, and enemies to peace. We have confirmed that an alternative supporter of radical Islam made plans to murder the late Emir, my father, and despite its success has made little venture to recover their attackers. But the investigation is still on-going, and I am not willing to compromise security secrets more so, as it may allow the killers to evade us. The fight continues in different faces and different visions, but the fight remains constant.

I am marking my first international announcement as both the new Emir of Alif Laam Miim and the mourning child of the late Emir, my father. But I hold a great promise for the world - we want to be friends with all of you. For centuries before the ALM coalition came to power in the 1950s, the Middle East was a haven for conflict, predating even the Crusades of the Middle Ages. We have had trouble, and even as remnants of that struggle remain, our modern age is peaceful now. The attacks in Al Qahirah recently are shocking to all of us, but reflect just four decades before that - we were at war with the Israelis over the Sinai, and the threat of direct attack upon this city was imminent. We have surely fared worse in older days, but as I have mentioned - we fight the constant battle against the enemies of peace.

I have hope for the future, that my children, and their children, may live in a world unhindered by war or rumors of war. They may pray in the mosques without fear that men with hostile intentions will kill them to gain glory for a God that rewards ill deeds. I will not stand idly as people around the world die by the thousands to ensure that the heathen gods stay alive against the will of Allah. I make this declaration with every intention to invite our friends to join us in this holy struggle against radical Islam, to deter our enemies from waging war upon us, and to warn our foes that their end is near. Rest assured, we will not be surprised again, and we never tolerate such senseless violence as this. May Allah guide us all to victory.

We are going to also supply members of the British, French, Japanese and South Korean Military to help them in there conflict. The members of the UCF's Military will not take part in any armed conflict directly.

The Regional Military Commanders of Shenyang, Beijing, Nanjing, Jinan, and Guangzhou Military Regions meet today to think over the proposal that the Government of United Citizen's Federation has brought to them. General Qian Guoling the Shenyang Military Region Commander told the others that with the war in Korea it would be the best to have a good relationship with the United Citizen's Federation because they are becoming the central power in Asia and the Pacific. He goes on to say that if they were to overthrow the Central Government that they could bring the Republic of China back into the fold because the current Chinese Government does not allow the freedoms that ROC or UCF allows to their citizens. With the talks between the five Generals in charge of these areas about bring new changes to the freedomless people of China. It took hours of talk and to bring into the fact that most of their troops have not been paid in awhile from the Central Government so with this in mind as well as knowing that the United Citizen's Government will be shipping food and other supplies that they will be needing as well as supplies for the civilian populations of the five regions that they are in command of. The Generals knew that the People's Armed Police and other Paramilitary units will be fighting against them but it will be for the good of the Chinese people that they are doing this for. So, after this the Generals have held a vote between the Five of them and they all voted to take the United Citizen's Federation up on there offer of help with them and their Coup of the Chinese Central Government.

Within hours of this release units of the People's Armed Police Force began to attack the Chinese Military in these Military Regional Command with attacks against their Headquarters and Supply Depots to brake them of any logistics and their fighting abilities. As this went on the two force clashed in the streets and began to cause havoc in the urban areas but thanks to the military they got out the civilian population to avoid any civilian losses. Well the Government Forces found this out and used it as a force relocation of the people of China at the attacking Military Units to scar the people into believing them. But the people left their homes willingly because the military gave and help them take what ever they wanted for the past few months to bring the people happiness. The military forces also have been suppling the civilian population for the last year with food and supplies to help them with their cause.

OCC: Since, this American War between me, Sharina, and Vineyard has pretty much ground to a halt and everyone else has moved on I thought it best that to bring the War to some kind of resolution is preferable then just pretending the war never happen. Hopefully, this will start the process of ending the war with some type of resolution. Finally, I would like to add that if and when we get a set standard of rules to govern losses if you guys would like to start up or continue that war again, I’ll be fine with that. Anyway, time for the IC post that should hopefully allow this war to end so we can all move on to better and brighter things.

One more note, this message is directed mainly towards Sharina as he’s/she’s? the one that first officially declared war against me and indirectly towards Vineyard who I’m also at war with. Since, the message is going to be in SIC only what Sharina decides to share with the other nations of the world would they know about what’s in the message and even that I sent a message. Though Great Romeo said he would support Vineyard in the war he hasn’t as of yet officially attacked me yet. Also, if Vineyard has again fell from activity in Earth V I don’t know how’s that going to work in ending the war between us or if he ever returns if the war still on. Only time will tell.

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

SIC [To the Government of the Sharina Nation]: With the recent lapse in hostilities between our two nations, we the members of the Republic make this final appeal to you, your people and your morality on bringing this unnecessary war to an end before any more blood is shed for a needless cause. We know you blame us for the attack in Jamaica and we also know there is nothing we could say that will change your mind from that fact. However, it is what you don’t know we wish to share with you. For some time, we have had the suspension that it was the Vineyard Empire that attacked you in Jamaica and not as you seem to think, the Republic. Of course, at this time we have no substantial proof proving one way or another it was indeed the Vineyardian’s who attacked you that fateful day. We know it’s a lot asking you to trust just our word, but as that’s all we have at the moment that’s all we can ask. As, I’m sure your well aware the Vineyard Empire is a very closed society and I’m sure even you have trouble gathering information about them. Suffice to say, our relations with the Vineyard Empire have shown them to be a backstabbing, manipulative race of people and you would be wise to heed our warning on not trusting them for even one minute.

As to the matter at hand on why we contacted you through these unofficially channels, if it will mean ending this unnecessary war between our two peoples, the Republic will agree to pay for all damages suffered on Jamaica that fateful day and pay compensation to the families that have lost loved ones or were themselves injured in the attack. However, we refuse to accept blame and/or responsibility for the attack as we never order any such attack nor would we ever. We agree to pay because like you, we too were shocked by the attack and as the Republic has no hostile intent towards you or your people. We agree to pay out of the kindness of our heart so that the healing between our two nations can begin again. Furthermore, as previously stated we have and continue to agree with you on your Monroe Doctrine of non-interference in your affairs of North America. We will continue to honor that agreement of non-interference in North America. As for South America, whether you like it or not the Republic’s influence in South America is there to stay. Both our friends and allies have been located in South America for some time. We are willing to work with you on bringing stability to South America together, but if you force us to we are willing to go it alone for better or worse.

We would prefer to come to some type of agreement with you on ending this war, but do not take this message as a sign of weakness. As the old saying goes, “The Ball is in your court”, if you wish to continue this war you do so at your own peril.

Sincerely, Jean-Claude Santer [Secretary-General of the Republic]

OOC: I was launching an attack in support of Vineyard as the last post in the war, so GR was (and is?) definitely involved.

OOC: I was launching an attack in support of Vineyard as the last post in the war, so GR was (and is?) definitely involved.

OCC: I was preparing to launch an attack in support of Vineyard as of the last post in the war, so GR was (and is?) definitely going to be involved.-Fixed

Not, only were only preparing to attack, but you were as of your last post only attacking Finland. So, as of your last post the Republic (me) and you are not at war. I don't control Finland, hence I was correct in what I said above.

You have not attack any territories of the Republic or made an IC reply declaring war on me like Vineyard and Sharina have done. Remember, I wouldn't know what you say to Vineyard if it's SIC. I'm aware your assembling an army, but that's about it.

So, again hence what I said here "Though Great Romeo said he would support Vineyard in the war he hasn’t as of yet officially attacked me yet." is correct and we are not at war.

Please provide the post that contradicts what I stated above.

Thank you and good day...

[ooc: a little early for this, but a pleasant reminder to all new and old participants that ooc comments belong in the appropriate ooc thread :D; also MC, a war with any part of China is going to be a war with the whole of China]

IC: The Emirate has opened the new College of Imams, a religious body ordained by the Emir to regulate Islamic affairs and to standardize the religion, in order to combat against religious extremists who have routinely flouted in its teachings to commit violence and perpetuate harsh feelings between all peoples in the name of Allah. Emir Aziz mentioned in a speech earlier today - "Ever since the collapse of the Ottoman khaliphate, Islam has been distorted by all sorts of people, preaching on its history as the religion of triumph, when in truth these vile terrorists only use our name to promote their violence. We have seen mad men take the cry of Allah for religious purposes to attain political objectives. By instituting the College of Imams, I hope that the followers of Islam can once again be at peace with the world and with themselves, knowing that they do not authorize war on behalf of the wretched."

Internal reception at the formation of the College of Imams was received with mixed emotions, as some in the Emirate felt that this was the first step to the return of the Khaliphate. Others praised the effort as a clean effort to rein in extremists and to grant political legitimacy to Islam as a religion instead of a wild cult.

IC: The Emirate expresses its sincere gratitude to the Right-Conservative Monocracy, and we are assured that the world mourns the death of our great leader. We are still tracking the trail of the murderers, but with the support of the world against them, we shall surely prevail. We have unfortunately closed the city of Djibouti to root out the killers, although we have received indication that Herr Göring arrived safely after the attack.

We maintain our resolve to end this threat of radical Islam, either under the banner of the JIHADI terrorists or under any other banner that should ever rise to threaten our security and our prosperity. We are adamant about this, and we hope that the world shares our dreams as well.


SIC: We are pleased to have your cooperation. We have compiled a trace of all the phone conversations dialed from Djibouti in the past days, although it seems that they have been silent mostly. We will appreciate any further details that your intelligence services can provide, and we are assuredly in your debt for all of the assistance your intelligence services have provided us.
SIC to ALM:

The Monocratic Intelligence Service (MDN), the Monocratic Office for the Protection of the Monocracy (MfM), and the Polish Office for State Protection (UOP), the Monocracy's three largest intelligence services, have been working meticulously on the case. The MfM, an agency normally only concerned with domestic matters, has become involved due to its expertise with terrorism, in addition to the possibility that the perpetrators may be a threat to our domestic security.

The investigation is ongoing; we would benefit from any addition information your nation has gathered.

With a low crime rate and a high status of domestic stability, more and more funding has been devoted to monocratic intelligence agencies. The Monokratischenachrichtendienst's top secret base at an undisclosed location in Bavaria, which nows receives three percent of the security (OOC: "Law & Order") budget (three percent is around 4,7635,739,930 USD), has been expanded with a modernized training academy.


IC:

At a press conference, Otto Rommel von Heinkel has announced that the monocratic university system has been completed, including the related construction projects at Vaduz Johannes Adam Ferdinand Alois Josef Maria Marko d'Aviano Pius von und zu Liechtenstein International Airport, Midway Islands Hugo Zöller International Airport, and Cagliari-Elmas Airport. They are all open to international applications for admissions, but admission is highly selective, especially to Heinkel, Heinkel stated. Applicants to Weißwasser and Peenemünde must be sponsored by their respective national governments, and must reside in a nation with which the Monocracy is on good terms.

Due to the generous support of Mina Veristek for the university system, contributing to international understanding, Veristek is the recipient of the 2007 Order Ioanni XXIII (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12725817#post12725817).

President Mina Veristek sends a message to the Monocracy of the Sixth Reich.

"I am honored to be bestowed the award of Ioanni XXIII for my dedication to the University system. It is my hope that the University system will allow for the intellectual growth and prosperity of our two nations. Knowledge is a powerful tool that shall empower us to continue our self-improvement. Without knowledge, there cannot be a lasting civilization.

The pen is indeed more mightier than the sword, or in modern times, the gun."

WE have received little other intelligence on the Emir's assassination plot. We have yet to recover the murderers, although reasonable suspicion concludes that they have not yet left the city. This siege of Djibouti has considerably hurt the economic livelihood, but we are determined to catch them, as the first link in many to reach the culprits. If your services would be interested in helping us pursue them, the city is open to insertion via railinks, we can transport your men into the city - but they will not be permitted to leave until after the culprits have been found and caught.

Otherwise, we will keep you updated on the information coming to us from our agents in the field.

Because I have a part of the former Soviet Union in my nation. Just like I might bring back some of the former military equipment from all my nations. I have Vladivostok which is part of Russia that is how I have Soviet and Russian Equipment in my claim.

Because I have a part of the former Soviet Union in my nation. Just like I might bring back some of the former military equipment from all my nations. I have Vladivostok which is part of Russia that is how I have Soviet and Russian Equipment in my claim.

It's a little bit more complicated then that, to build the USSR/Russian equipment you need to control more then just a few areas like you do with Vladivostok. You specifically need to control the Arms factories that build the equipment. As Vladivostok is not a major center of arms production-The Soviet's and later Russia's main Arms industries were in the Ukraine, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg and Moscow-of course there were dozen of others however, to my knowledge Vladivostok was not even one of the smaller ones.

If, you would like a complete list of the Soviet Arms industries and where they were located I'd be glad to share that information with you as I have a nice book on the subject.

So, as you lack the control of the factories i.e. the designs you have one of two options in trying to acquire them. You can do it the legal way (by purchasing the equipment and/or production rights to them from Great Romeo) or you can do it the illegal way (by stealing the equipment/production rights). Either way, you'll have to spend more money and time setting up your own factories once you have the designs.

The European version of the B1B I'm building is a great example of what you would have to do. I used both legal means and illegal means to build it (some of which of course would be SIC). Suffice to say, it was an expansive project as I had neither the designs to it nor the factories to build it. Now I have both and so do you as you will recall I split the cost with you.

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

A few more things.

1. There's no real life Yamamoto Class Aircraft Carrier and as such, you need to provide some information on it.

2. The Queen Elizabeth Class Carrier also known as the CVF, won't be operational till 2012. As Earth V is set as realistic roleplay using current equipment, you'll have to wait till 2010 at the earliest before you can officially roleplaying building them and having them become operational. Also, a little tidbit-the French have joined the CVF program and a version of the CVF will probably end up being the second French Aircraft Carrier.

Ok let me address your remarks on the control of Vladivostok is just the largest city but I own the Primorsky Krai which has very large economy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primorsky_Krai#Economy
This Kria is a big defense industry in the Far East. Also Vladivostok is the headquarters for the Russian Pacific Fleet so the information that I would need to get from Great Romeo. So I known that if the US military does keep former projects in their computers. I got my information from Wikipedia on this subject.

As for the second subject the Yamamoto Class Aircraft Carrier I was going to be putting up the information on this matter. Remember that you can only put so much information in a reply at a time.

As for the third subject that can be changed do the the change in the production of the nation in question. My nation is defense industry nation for the all my nations that I have. Remember my defense budget is more then $2 Trillion Dollars. So I could put production of ships and others equipment out faster. There is no relay time line on matters either doing in Earth V I have not seen what time other then we are in general a current times.

As for the new Q.E. Carriers that is fine but the French are putting together their own Carrier yes they are working with a British companies but the French Company DCN has designed the French Carrier different then the Q.E. Carriers. So, with this there are a very different design of the two carriers in your statement.

So, in closing I am going to be posting the information on the rest of the Carriers. I get my information from different areas on the internet and military areas too that will remain classified. So I know about the information very well and will be keeping everything as up to date as I can and even making new uses of projects that have been stopped if they can be done with reason.

Bold emphasis = mine.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Is Military Command using information from websites and sources that are classified in RL (meaning the rest of us can't get into these sources to check them out, or have to have CIA or NSA clearance or such)?

The MND agents arrived in Cairo, anxiously awaiting performing the task at hand. After renting their cars, they drove to the meeting place for the rail insertion.

SIC:

ALM Operatives meet with the MND agents as they travel along the new rails to Khartoum. They brief them on the mission at hand: root out the terrorist assassins in Djibouti, and determine their origin. They are certainly of Islamic orientations, but since the collapse of JIHADI operations in the wake of the recent recession of the Kingdom of Kopparbergs, they are determined not to be aligned with internationally renowned organizations. The MND agents were given a list of Islamic organizations known to be hostile to the Emirate and the former RSA, as a list of suspect organizations.

The ALM agents also brief them on the weapons used by the enemy, and possible locations of their planned exits from the city. The city has been under siege for several months, and the population was clearly showing signs of discontent. The siege would have to be lifted in a few more weeks; a bad thing if the assailants remained at large. The one thing for certain is that the operatives know that the assailants are still inside the city; but where or how many were they remained unknown.

"It is a tall mission order, but we have made steady progress. With you around, I hope that we can make a swift and ready end to this. I remind you that we want these men alive. We want them to talk. And we want them to know the price for the death of our beloved leader."

The MND agents, once at Khartoum, took a special transfer rail to Djibouti. Upon arriving at the city border, where the fully entrenched ALM Army guarded all accesses leading in and out of the city. They were reminded that once inside, they would not be permitted to leave until the mission was over or the siege lifted. And Allah forbid if the men should remain at large when the time came.

OOC: By "possible locations of their planned exits from the city," whom are you referring to with "their"?

SIC:

The agents contemplated the ALM briefing for a moment. Afterwards, the agents briefly reviewed the operation for the last time, in Latin (the language of all Monocratic intelligence agencies).

They were to blend into the populace as normal Arab citizens in Djibouti. The agents' fluency in Arabic (natively) and French (near-native), as well as ethnicity as Arabs and status as (Sunni) Muslims, helped maintain the deception. They were to follow a normal routine similar to the other residents.

However, they obviously did not intend on doing nothing but living a civilian life. During times when the streets were crowded, two agents were to inspect suspected locations, while able to communicate with one agent in the vicinity with a car. Certain locations would be bugged with miniature video cameras.

At all times, they would be armed and able to communicate with the MND through a front company.
