Peter Delvany stared at the image on the television screen, taken by a Rosdivan Air Force surveillance plane. In the center of the screen was a bright red fireball, still expanding to consume more and more of the city underneath. He could only imagine the fear and terror of the populace as the detonation shattered buildings, turned people into living torches, and, in short, made the once-peaceful city a living hell for all within it.

General Richard Burton spoke quietly as the fireball cooled, and ceased to expand. "That was the city of Paradise City, capital of the Blackhelm Confederacy. We are estimating that they have suffered over a million casualties from that blast alone."

Peter Delvany, Lord Protector of the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan, charged with ensuring peace and justice for all peoples, whether they were his subjects or not, simply looked on the image in shock. It was shocking, an outrage, a regress to barbarism. Civilians were nigh-on sacrosanct in war, one went out of their way to avoid harming them, much less target them. That had been the Rosdivan way of war since Christianization a thousand years ago. To see so many civilians butchered, simply to ease the way for landing troops, it was obscene.

"General, this was a GASN operation, was it not?" asked Peter, his voice low and tightly controlled. There was quite a good deal of suppressed anger in that voice, and it would not do any good to let it out right now. Later however, in the privacy of his room, while he wrote the official government response; then it could be released.

"In deed, if not in word your majesty. While the alliance structure is currently being redone, and so there are no official alliance operations, there are a large number of GASN members in this operation against Blackhelm. Admittedly, that's probably because Blackhelm and their Griffincrest Corporation have offended so many nations with their antics," replied the general. His own voice, while it was not unemotional, did not have the tenor of the hidden fury of the Lord Protectors. Perhaps it was due to a lifetime in the Rosdivan Air Force, where he had learned to always give his reports in a calm and professional manner.

"General, I want us out of there now. I want every bit of cooperation with GASN severed, not a single ship, plane, or soldier is to aid them in their damned crusades. Not if they're going to try this obscenity. We will keep our ties with a few nations, the rest be damned."

Official Statement of the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan

For some time now, the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan has been engaged in conflicts with the Blackhelm Confederacy, who has hid behind the so-called Griffincrest Corporation. Throughout this time, we have opposed again and again their imperialistic attempts to seize the resources of poorer countries. Again and again, we have asked other nations to join us in putting a more direct end to the Blackhelm Confederacy's warmongering.

But never can we support this recent nuclear attack on Paradise City. To launch such an attack, to butcher hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, all in the name of making a ground assault easier, is not only unconscionable, but obscene. It is the sort of action that can only be conducted by men who have been blinded by the Devil to the virtues of justice and charity.

Accordingly, the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan bitterly condemns those who planned and carried out this strike. It was an act of mass murder, and those launching it will be subject to punishment by Rosdivan courts should they ever step foot on our soil. Furthermore, we sever all ties with the Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations, for aiding and abetting this horrendous deed. No longer shall we fly or sail or fight alongside them, for they have proven themselves to be a most unworthy group.

His Majesty, Lord Protector of the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan, Peter Delvany.

The Crookfur parliment would like to applaud the Supreme Protector and the people of Rosdivan as a whole for taking this brave step. It takes courage to make a stand against the common trend in such away particularly when it involves standing against those who would strike at nations unfreindly to yourself.

The Crookfur government woudl also like to add its voice to the condemnation of the acts carried out by forces in this war. While at times drastic measures are called for, the unrestrained destruction of civilian targets is a despicable act and while the victims of this latest conflcit have not been one sided, those of GASN must ask themselves wether they are truely willing to lower themselves to the level of thos they claim to oppose.

Proclamation of the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

The complete incompetance of the GASN to distinguish between the Blackhelm Confederacy and the Griffencrest Corporation is why the Glorious Republic is no longer selling to the GASN until a time we deem fit.

We also ask if His Majesty would join us in leading a civilian evacuation of the Blackhelm Confederacy, and moving them to the Leafanistani Quarter of Saharistan, which due to an economic recession is under populated.

Official Statement from the Lord Governor of The Dominion Commonwealth State of Wanderjar:


That vile nuclear bombing was not of our doing. That was done by Tocrowkia, which is not a member state. We are not cowards that hide behind nuclear arms. We fight with the sword and shield.

Official Message of the Dominion

Yes, the nuclear bombing was done by the cowards of the nation of Tocrowkia. They used those attacks on innocent civilians of the host nation, Blackhelm Confederacy, of the Griffincrest Corporation. Real men, and women, attack the soldiers not the citizens of a nation.

You should have attack the Griffincrest soldiers not the Confederacy citizens, who had nothing to with the mad man in control of the Griffincrest Corporation.

I call for the leaders, and the ones that ordered the nuclear attack, of Tocrowkia to face the world for their war crimes. For the death of citizens. It makes me sick.

Signed,
Count JWolf
The God-Emperor of the Dominion
The Lord Marshall of the Dominion Commonwealth

To: Rosdovian

We only have used conventional methods in fighting Griffencrest and Blackhelm. But let us consider, Blackhelms repeated use of chemical warfare, leading too the slaughter of hundreds of thousands. Or the attacks on New Ausha's capital, Mateel, which was thwarted, thanks too our PATRIOT missles defense system. The attack was the only way, too complete our global retribution. There is no other way too tame a beast, than with the most stark show of force. You have proven faint hearted in war, and ultimatly, failed as a leader(s). You are an enemy of the state from here on out. All 1,320 Rosdovians living in New Ausha, are too be deported, effective immidietly.

Message from the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan to the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

The Rosdivan Supreme Commonweath would be more than glad to aid the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan in evacuating the civilian non-combatants of the Blackhelm Confederacy. However, we insist that any civilians transported by us will receive the right to choose their destination, within reason, rather than being forced to repopulate a region of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan.

OFFICIAL GOVERNMENTAL PROCLIMATION
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/Flags/shazbotdomflag.jpg
TO: The Leadership of the Nation of Rosdivan
FROM: George A. Loak, Supreme Emperor of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom

Let it be known that it was not a GASN member nation that launched the nuclear weapons against the Civilian Populace of the Blackhelm Confederacy, and the Dark Empire has in no way gone on any offensive against the Corporate Alliance's Member Companies and/or nations. We will though continue to defend our allies in the World Soviet Party from the Griffencrest and Corporate Alliance onslaught that has decimated the northern sections of their nation. We will use whatever is in our conventional arsenal against these invading nations but Not fire anything at any Corporate Alliance homeland nations/companies. We wish that this message is read by all who suddenly have a vendetta against the GASN for what a few member nations have done without consulting the GASN Governing Body.

"As my friends have already pointed out, no GASN member used Nuclear Weapons against the CA nor against Griffincrest. If this is a declaration of war, you should rethink that. Dephire is already becoming, once again, militaristic. Now will not be the time to begin an offensive against the GASN. Any offensive will be met with the full force of our Dominator Cannons. Do I make myself clear?"

Oh noez! Everyone's mad at us for not living up to your "standards" of morality and honor! Oh wait, we don't care. We nuked them, we don't care. Cry your hearts out, world.

The People of Keating Australis strongly condemn the nuclear attacks which have occurredagainst our comrades in Rosdivan. We offer our complete and total symapthies to their citizens, and offer any assistance the people may require. We are currently freezing Tocrowkian assets and rounding up their citizens in our state. Any citizens which need refugee status, are welcome in our state for as long as required
Any assistance at all that we may provide Rosdivan will be made. Our forces, territory and all. We must erase the world of treachery, of reckless nuclear powers and of terror. We are currently planning a strategic cruise missile strike against the Tocrowkian strategic and nuclear forces, and the Spetznatz are planning retribution.

Three problems with that.

1)We have no assets in your nation, and we never will.

2)Our citizens wouldn't be caught dead in the slums of your nation.

And the biggest one of all:

We did not nuke Rosdivan

Toodles!

-Reich Foreign Ministry-

Response:

We of The Lone Alliance have no real comment on this situation, as of yet we have not been involved. However, the use of Nuclear force should not be a hasty measure. Especially large scale nuclear force. We dislike the use of city destroying Nuclear weapons. Therefore we condemn Tocrowkia for their hasty use of large scale nuclear weapons.

However we would also like to condemn Rosdiva for blaming it's allies without even bothering to check information on if it was even their actions. Giving a condemnation against a group who had no involvement is down right foolish.

If this war continues in this measure we may be forced to intervene.

Northfordian National News.

“To the most interesting articles in the news today, let us first focus on the sudden exit of Rosdivan from the Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations. Rosdivan, Northford’s 5th biggest trading partner, and third biggest contributor to the GASN escort force, has long been friendly with Northford, and to us, this announcement, comes as a great shock. Despite this move, however, the Cabinet has released the following Statement

“While this move by the Sovereign states of Rosdivan is shocking, and in a sense, saddening to the Commonwealth of Northford, let it not be said we will burn our bridges with our scraps of paper. Assuming the Supreme Commonwealth allows it, we will still patrol along our trade routes, ensuring that our trade isn’t weakened by piracy. Another move we will take with the Supreme Commonwealth is the suggestion of a Northford-Rosdivan relation’s board.”

“The National News will keep you informed of the development of events.”
