Official Communiqué, the Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg

The Grand Duchy has always advocated peace, inside it's own nation, and to the outside world. Van Luxemburg has no intention whatsoever to intervene in a war on any side, except for the side of peace. Therefore, the Van Luxemburgian Grand Duke, Tweede Kamer and the Eerste Kamer have all approved taking part in the organisation known as "UPEO".

The Vuhifellian States and Van Luxemburg have had a long history in assisting eachother to ensure peace, around the globe. Might it be an internal conflict, a bloodthirsty dictator thinking he is a Protector, A colony war, every time, the Van Luxemburgian Military and Diplomatic Service have been on the frontline of events, delivering peacekeepers and negotiators.

The Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg has also decided it will be a candidate for the Security Council. Van Luxemburg has a lot of experience in maintaining bases around the world, and has specialised themselves in peacekeeping missions. Every soldier of the Van Luxemburgian Military usually has a white model helmet, to ensure they can be seen as peacekeepers. The Van Luxemburgian politics are not based on politics and endless talking, but focus on a direct decision, which can make a quicker overall decision, lifesaving for humanitarian operations.

We hope the Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg will be allowed to enter the UPEO, and the UPEO's Security Council.

Signed,
Koen van Luxemburg
Grand Duke of Van Luxemburg

Nicolas Hirtz
Premier of Van Luxemburg, Tweede Kamer

Van Luxemburg starts Military Support Programme
By Aksel Heggelund

LUXEMBOURG- The Ministry of Defence has made a press release today, stating they have acquired large numbers of military equipment, for support use in the Military Support Programme (MSP), to be set up in the near future. The MSP will support new nations (under 30 million population) in the UPEO, so they can take part in peacekeeping operations around the world. The total number of military equipment is kept secret, but the Ministry of Defence has admitted some of the equipment was part of the Middle-East revolution, and is now stored in the bunkers of the Grand-Ducal Armoury. "We have decided that young nations should also be able to participate in our operations. therefore, we have allowed these weapons to be handed over to Alliance members, on a lend-lease base. The nations supported can get this weaponry for free, but will need to return the weaponry when they exit the alliance, or no longer need it." Minister of Defence Philippe Dermont says that there will be a maximum amount of equipment a nation can order, but "it should be enough to support a complete army of a 30 million population nation". He asks all interested nations to report themselves at the Van Luxemburgian Ministry of Defence, or Ambassador to the UPEO Aksel Heggelund.
