CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: It is being reported today that offshore drilling experiments by the Democratic Republic Revavlostok have resulted in the discovery of several offshore oil deposits thirteen miles from the east coast of the island - and one mile outside the territorial waters traditionally agreed to belong to sovereign states.

Acting swiftly, the Government announced the area under the protection of the Democratic Republic, and dispatched several vessels of the AFDR Navy to guard the stretch of water identified as maintaining oil deposits suitable for drilling.

President Vladivoski also announced an emergency bill set before the National Assembly to nationalise all activities involved in extracting the oil.

"Our campaign policies call for greater public involvement and responsibility in the essentials of life," the President was quoted as saying to CNN reporters. "We are merely following our election pledges to the people."

OOC:
You do know that by declaring this you are declaring yourself open to invasion by the Coporate Alliance and their leader Griffencrest (Blackhem Confederacy)? They have been declaring war upon any nation smaller than themselves that has said that they have found oil in their nation.

OOC: Yeah they are meanies


IC: Clandonia would like to send members of the Clandonian Corporation to investigate these findings, take samples for analysis of the grade of the oil and to possibly arrange contracts for the extraction. We warn you of the warmongering actions of the Corporate Alliance and the Griffenfest Corporation which uses military force to overun small nations with oil.

OOC: Thanks for the warning. However, I was attempting to spark a diplomatic and possibly military incident. Bear in mind the deposits are offshore anyway, so a land invasion would be somewhat pointless. Besides, if there are people that would invade me, there are people that might help me.

Official Diplomatic Message

We would greatly welcome the assistance of superior technology from the Clandonian Corporation. Our current policy is to nationalise the oil extraction from these deposits, however there are possibilities for creating a public corporation that the Clandonian Corporation could invest into as a minority partner to the Revavlostokian Government.

President Dimitri Vladivoski
President of the Democratic Republic

To: President Dimitri Vladivoskic

We would be happy to invest in the formation of the public corporation, a small figure of around $800 million of technological asistance would be a suitable amount our board of Executives feel, in return we ask for the permision of a tanker platform and route to Clandonia.

Official Diplomatic Message

The government of the Democratic Republic accepts this offer from the Clandonia Corporation, and grant permission for the use of a tanker platform once such platforms are constructed.

Further tests shall be done by Revavlostok scientists, at which time the construction of oil platforms shall be announced.

To: President Dimitri Vladivoskic

Clandonia thanks for your agreement we await the results of the tests. We advise you begin building up a sizeable military presence to protect these important assets from possible hostiles.

CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: The Government of Revavlostok today announced the passing of legislation through the National Assembly for the nationalisation and establishment of a Public Corporation to extract the oil deposits recently found off the east coast of the Democratic Republic.

The Public Corporation, to be known as the Revavlostok East Coast Oil Corporation (RECO Corp), shall be controlled by the government of the Democratic Republic, who will maintain a 51% holding of shares by law.

Other investment shall be open to both national and foreign corporations and individuals, including the Clandonian Corporation, who have offered to invest $800 Million in the venture.

The President called this "a great day for Revavlostok, both home and abroad." However, there has been criticism from opposition parties.

Gregor Vassili, Chairman of the Revavlostok First Party and former President until the victory of the RDSP, criticised the government for foreign involvement in RECO Corp. "This is Revavlostokian oil for the Revavlostokian people," he declared to CNN reporters. "Foreign countries have no right in our affairs. If they wish for oil, they can buy it from us."

Conversely, Samantha Putin, Chairman of the Democratic Alliance Party, critcised the government's nationalisation move. "We need less government, not more," she was quoted as saying.

CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: The Democratic Republic today announced the movement of larger numbers of naval assets into what is now being called the 'Revavlostok Oil Protection Zone' or ROPZ to protect against possible foreign hostilities.

The move comes in light of warnings from foreign sources regarding potential attacks against the ROPZ.

The area is already protected by two Type 22 Frigates and 5 Hunt Class Offshore Patrol Vessels. However, the government announced the deployment of a further 5 Type 22 Frigates to the area, accompanied by a further 9 Hunt Class vessels.

Two squadrons of F15 Fighters, numbering 24 aircraft, have been deployed to Bradley Air Force Base on the east coast to keep up a continuous Combat Air Patrol over the area in question to provide air support for naval assets.

The Mak-Makian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the interests of mantaining a dialogue which all can understand, has seen fit to give his interpretation of the Shogun's message.

Official Diplomatic Message

The Democratic Republic wishes to remind the Shogun that the initial discovery was made by a Revavlostokian vessel, and as such the Democratic Republic has a legal claim on the area. Furthermore, the area has been declared under protection of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic (AFDR).

We also wish to remind the Shogun (and all foreign nations) that any hostile moves against assets of the AFDR or the civilian assets of the Democratic Republic would be considered an act of war against Revavlostok.

CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: Tests on the quality of the oil discovered off the east coast of the DRR have confirmed a large deposit of high-grade petroleum suitable for mining operations.

A spokesperson for the government called the announcement "good news for the country and good news for the people."

Several civilian teams have been dispatched to being the construction of several drilling platforms, using the national and international investment from RECO Corp.

The move comes during hightening tensions over the legality of mining the Revavlostok Oil Protection Zone, which is 1 mile outside of the generally accepted territorial waters of the Democratic Republic.

The President was quoted as saying, "we shall not bow down to threats. This is a time for calm, not conflict"

Official Diplomatic Message

The Democratic Republic thanks and accepts this assistance from Clandonia Prime.

STATEMENT OF HIS MAJESTYS GOVERNMENT

His Majesty's Government, in the name of Free Market Capitalism, requests that it assists Revavlostok in deploying forces to defend its oil discoveries. If confirmed, the Royal Navy will deploy four destroyers, a submarine, a replenishment tender, and the ASW carrier Formutton Hill to assist Revavlostok's Navy in defending their oil operations.

HM Government warns nations not to intervene in the matter.

At the moment we are willing to purchase the entirety of your oil fields. What is their total worth?

STATEMENT OF HIS MAJESTYS GOVERNMENT

His Majesty's Government warns and suggests that Revavlostok does not bow down to Blackhelm Confederacy and sell their oil fields. The oil is Revavlostok's for the taking.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/Company%20Logos/IOGlogo.png


Imperial Oil & Gas will not agree to the sale of any oil fields to the Blackhelm Confederacy. Although the company itself is majority Revavlostok-owned and so can be sold by them to the Blackhelm Confederacy, we shall retain our 30% ownership of the company and, of course, our 30% share of the profits (including our 30% share of any asset sell-offs). The Confederacy's motives appear suspect and so we advise the Revavlostok government to oppose this sale also.

Clandonias government strongly urgres that Revavlostok does not listen to any Blackhelm Confedarcy or Griffenfest ascociates. If Revavlostok is attacked by the Confedarcy then the Clandonian Corporation will defend its assets that it has in the RECO Corporation.

Official Diplomatic Message
Office of the President of the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok

Speaking on behalf of my government and the people of the Democratic Republic, I wish to make it clear to all foreign nations that the petroleum deposits in question have been staked and claimed as property of the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok, and are therefore under protection of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic and associated invited allied states. The Democratic Republic does not believe it would be in the interest of our nation to sell the oil fields to the Griffincrest Corporation, as we would lose the majority share in a key economic and strategic stockpile of natural resources.

Following meetings with the Secretary of State for Defence, I formerly invite His Majesty's Government of the Questers Commonwealth to deploy military assets alongside AFDR and Praetorian Forces in the ROPZ to defend against possible foreign assault.

As of the completion of this message, AFDR Naval and Air Forces will stand up to DefCon 4.

President Dimitri Vladivoski
President of the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok

CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: The first of several Oil Drilling Platforms began construction today in the Revavlostok Oil Protection Zone amid increasing international concern and tensions regarding possible attack.

Platform One, the first of four planned platforms that will begin exploiting the discovered petroleum resources, will also maintain the supply and replenishment facilities for international tanker vessels operating as foreign investors in RECO Corp. Construction work began early yesterday.

The move follows increasing concern over possible attack by foreign elements, the names of which the DRR Government refused to comment upon. However, it is widely considered likely that the Griffincrest Corporation, part of the 'Corporate Alliance' group of states and organisations, may attempt to take the ROPZ by force.

President Vladivoski implemented Clause 3 of the Constitution earlier today to pass an emergency executive decree, temporarily allowing military forces belong to the nations of Questers, Praetoria and Clandonia Prime prohibitionary access to military resupply facilities at several Revavlostokian ports, should the facilities be required in the event of armed conflict.

Currently, the ROPZ is being policed by seven Type 22 Frigates and 14 Hunt Class Offshore Patrol Vessels of the AFDR Navy, alongside 4 Destroyers, 1 Submarine and an ASW Carrier of the Questerian Royal Navy and 12 Knight Class Destroyers of the Praetorian Navy.

The government refused to comment on possible tensions with international actors.

The Mak-Makian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the interests of mantaining a dialogue which all can understand, has seen fit to give his interpretation of the Shogun's message.

Nuh-uh. That's not yours. Gimme some.

Oslea stands by the point of view these other two nations have.

Those are international waters, which means that the international community is subject to a share of the oil.

The Clandonian Corporation aplauds your efforts, our teams have reported your security is of the highest order and grade. We look forward to see the first tanker being loaded up.

OOC: Blackhelm is cool....Tundra and the Confederacy are allies...but ya your going to get decimated by them now....:(

OOC: Blackhelm is cool....Tundra and the Confederacy are allies...but ya your going to get decimated by them now....:(

OOC: So long as its fun and RPed properly. :)

This is the President of the United States of Oslea. That is International Oil, and is required to be shared by the international community. If you do not share that oil we will have to conduct an attack on your defenses and possibly other targets, and claim and distribute it to other countries. This is a warning.

The Holy Confederacy of New Aeson hereby pledges support to Revavlostock, and vows to retaliate against any attack made on them.

The Admiralty wishes to dispatch a squadron of maritime patrol aircraft and anti shipping bombers to Revavlostok. Is there an airfield available that can support eighteen planes and their crew?

If you do not share that oil we will have to conduct an attack on your defenses and possibly other targets, and claim and distribute it to other countries. This is a warning.

While outside the traditional 12mile territorial water marker the Oil find is still well within Revavlostok's 200mile Economic exlcusion zone and as such no international "community" or foreign power has any claim over said resources...

Official Diplomatic Message

The Democratic Republic questions several elements of the claim by the United States of Orslea regarding distribution of oil to the international community. We question as to how such a distribution would be achieved, and whether it would therefore be to every nation in the world, lest the United States be seen as hypocritical.

We conclude therefore that the United States wishes to see distribution of this oil by another state or organisation than the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok, the Democratic Republic being the claimant and therefore legal owner of the petroleum deposits in question.

We remind again that any attack on AFDR or civilian assets of the Democratic Republic would be considered an act of war.

The Questers Commonwealth is granted permission to maintain maritime aircraft at Revavlostok City AFB on the east coast of the nation.

Official Diplomatic Message

The Democratic Republic is intrigued by the Free Republic's offer, but wishes to hear more specific details before making a decision.

The shogun wishes to extend support to Revavlostok in light of recent military threats against said nation. Despite the disagreements our nations find in the case of oil distribution we will not stand by and allow an attack on the people of Revavlostok.

The shogun also asks the price for a 10% stake in the oil profits, we are willing to negotiate terms.

We await your response

Oslea withdraws its military threat due to unpopularity and increased resistance against our army.

(ooc: I'd die and take so many losses, I only have 30 F/A 35's and 10 F-22's to attack that base...B1-b's and B2's don't even do well for ship killing...And I don't have a navy. I guess you can call me dumb...)

We instead would like to apologize for our recent actions , and would like to make a deal ffor some oil. (ooc: the deal is 2 posts down.)

The Free State wishes to purchase 1,200,000 barrels of Revavlostoki (or is it -ian, i apologize if there is any offense taken) oil at 550.00 (FL)Florinas a barrel,
which would be about (US)$300.00 a barrel in American Currency. The Tradewinds ltd. Corporation also of Aurania-Shifre, would like to request drilling rights to the area. However, please consider our national bid before our private sector. I thank you greatly.We are also ready to give military support if needed.

Hydrogen evaporates in hot environments such as the desert. Hybrids are fine, but expensive. Oil is the only thing that works for most jets and military units. That's why oil still and will be the dominant fuel, until it runs out, that is. So we applaud you for your research and interest in alternatives. We, of course, would be interested in anything that can work in military units as a substitute to oil.

Official Diplomatic Message

The Democratic Republic is gladdened by the change in views of the United States, and hope that this will continue cordial relations between our two countries.

RECO Corp Sales Department Message

RECO Corp is glad to authorise the sales of oil to both Oslea and Aurania-Shifre once the first platform becomes operational.

CNN - Revavlostok City, Revavlostok: The first oil drilling platform in the internationally disputed Revavlostokian Oil Protection Zone (ROPZ) began output today following completion of its construction.

President Vladivoski personally attended the inaugural celebration for Platform One, the international drilling platform of RECO Corp.

"This is a great triumph for our nation," he told assembled workers, investors and journalists.

Platform One will extract petroleum for export to foreign nations and investors within RECO Corp. A further three platforms for domestic consumption and military stockpiling are scheduled for construction.

"If demand continues to increase, there may be plans for further international oil platforms," one RECO representative stated at a press conference yesterday.

Meanwhile, tensions in the area took a cooler step after the United States of Oslea backed down from possible threats of attack, and took up role as a consumer. However, the area still remains politically sensitive due to several unknown elements, including the Corporate Alliance and the Griffincrest Corporation. These organisations have been known for forceful seizure of natural resources in past situations.

Rumours are abound in Revavlostok City as to the possibility of President Vladivoski inviting the Questers Commonwealth and the nation of Praetoria to maintain small naval forces at Revavlostok military ports as parties interested in the continued preservation of Democratic Republic hold on the ROPZ. Government spokespeople declined to comment at this time.

The Glorious shogun wishes to open negotiations concerning the purchase of 10,000,000 Barrels of Revavlostok oil. We are willing to pay the set price for said barrels.


The Shogun also wishes to offer his warriors support in order to aid in defence of the oil platforms and the relevant land based installations, we will dispatch 7 Missile cruisers to the oil platform, as part of a "deal-binder" to ensure that we are willing to become consumers only and not aggressors, we will also dispatch Commando teams to the shore based refineries in order to better secure there defence, with your honourable permission of course.


The Shogun awaits your response

Official Diplomatic Message
Office of the President of the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok

To the nations of Questers, Praetoria and Tilean Free States,

These are turbulent times we live in. National sovereignty is in such a state of affairs that it is no longer respected by multinational corporations and organisations bent on establishing monopoly over all resources.

The Democratic Socialist Party of Revavlostok may not seem immediately to be the best friend of free market capitalism by name alone. This is not true - the DSPR merely wishes to ensure a basic level of welfare for all citizens, whilst allowing their own business to be done of their own free will. This is why we have taken steps, as promised in our manifesto, to nationalise the basic essentials of life. This includes oil. However, our willingness to accept foreign investment hopefully shows that the Democratic Republic is not an enemy of Capitalism.

To this end, we wish to propose to the addressed nations a state of affairs whereby numbers of naval vessels and military personnel are invited by treaty to defend the Revavlostokian Oil Protection Zone (ROPZ) on a regular basis. Permission shall be given for such personnel to use Revavlostokian military ports for resupply and downtime.

The only restrictions we bring to this are the following:

1. Nations may assign no more than ten vessels, no more than 5,000 infantry and no more than 100 military ground and air vehicles each unless invited to by the Revavlostokian government in the case of heightened tensions with other foreign powers.

2. Weapons of Mass Destruction shall not be allowed, unless by Revavlostokian invitation.

3. Naval vessels shall be of no size larger than Cruiser class, unless invited by the Revavlostokian government.

We await to see if any interest in this treaty arises.

President Dimitri Vladivoski
Democratic Republic of Revavlostok

The Socialist Republic of Montegrande has very limited oil needs related only with military activity, needs that are already dealt with, so there is no economic reason for the Government and the People of Montegrande to show interest in this oil findings in Revavlostok. However, the danger of an invasion from any fascist and/or corporate power are outraging for a socialist nation like us and is our moral obligation to offer the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok help if needed, but that doesn´t mean protection in case of a war started by the Democratic Republic of Revavlostok. If military help is needed, please indicate us the number of troops needed and the locations where is necesary their deployment.

Manuel Salvatierra, Foreign Affairs Minister of the Socialist Republic of Montegrande

OOC: Wonder what will occur as a result of this? (Points at Blackhelm)

OOC: Somehow I really doubt Griffencrest should go after anymore oil. There main base of operations is under attack from about five six nations. I think it be unwise to bring more nations into the conflict just for going for oil. Im saying this OOC because this should be common sense.

OOC: Just created an OOC thread HERE (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11764919#post11764919). BC, got a question for you there before I respond.

Aesonic Embassy: Blackhelm Confederacy

Mark sighed. The bastards were at it again. This really went beyond belief. He picked up the phone and left a message at the Chanellor's office, requesting a face-to-face meeting in the embassy.
***
Two carriers, escorted by several cruisers and missile ships moved towards the oil rig, but stayed out of the ROPZ making no attempt to hide their presence. A message was broadcast to the oil rig, which could be picked up by any amature HAM operator. It read, "Hello, there. Anything we can help you with?"

The Shogun, in his infinate wisdom has decided that his nation will agree to the terms that the Revavlostok people send to us. We are happy to dispatch the maximum number of troops allowed by the convention within the next 3 days.

The Shogun also advises the people of Revavlostok to prepare for an attack from the dark forces of the Blackhelm Confederacy, they are a power that care only for material gain, they are without Honour but they are still a very dangerous foe.

Our warriors will be on stand-by as soon as they are mobilised in order to meet this threat and fight it accordingly.

The Shogun will also dispatch military commanders to liase with your own military in order to better co-ordinate a defence force should the need arise.
