The United Federation of Allied Nations

Mission Overall Aims:

1) To provide Collective Security to its members through mutual co-operation on all fronts.

2) To further the advancement of world peace and stability through mutual defensive cooperation between UFAN member states and between UFAN as a whole and other UFAN recgonised International Alliances.

The United Federation of Allied Nations, known as UFAN or ‘the Federation’ for short, was co-founded in secret talks between The Dominion of Vetaka and the United Socialist States of Wagdog as a direct result of the Zanski Crisis, New Nickslyania Crisis, The Global Slavery Issue and the Vetakan-TFS War. UFAN's primary aim is to provide its members with a guarantee of collective security in the face of active aggression from none UFAN States. Both Co-Founding nations whom founded its charter hoped it would cover any possible eventuality as well as hopefully grow in number. UFAN's difference between it and other alliances was that upon joining UFAN, nations had to accept the UFAN Prime Directive; which stated in the event that two UFAN states could come into Armed Conflict with each other in an International Community crisis, both states would totally withdraw from that situation and maintain total neutrality in the matter. If both states felt they could not, then the situation would be debated and an official UFAN position would be adopted.

Below is the current Charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations:

UFAN Prime Directive:

All UFAN member states accept the sovereignty of all member nations within the Alliance. To further this, all UFAN members agree not to allow armed conflict to break out between them. In the event that member states find themselves upon separate sides within a situation on the International Scene, UFAN member states agree to jointly withdraw from that situation and maintain total neutrality towards the situation. Should a grievance develop as a result, the UFAN High Council will meet to adopt a majority UFAN position on that subject. UFAN will work as hard as it possibly can on all possible campaigns to further international Peace, Stability and generally the will of the Good, the Right, the True, and the Free.


UFAN Charter:

Article 1:

Further to the Prime Directive UFAN member states agree to form a Collective Security Military Treaty to protect any member states sovereignty from active external aggression. As such should an Armed Attack occur either internally or externally anywhere on the planet on one or more UFAN states, that attack shall be considered an Attack upon them all. As such all UFAN members will respond with a centrally coordinated military, economic and diplomatic response.

Article 2:

All UFAN states further to the UFAN Prime Directive agree to adopt, implement, and defend Human Rights as detailed within the internationally recognised Theeb Accords (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12985166#post12985166)document. As such any nation that wishes to join the United Federation of Allied Nations must sign and adopt the Theeb Accords (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12985166#post12985166) before UFAN membership is granted.

Article 3 Amendment 1:

The United Federation of Allied Nations will always do its best to protect the Innocent and Free within this world. However in order to protect its members it has been deemed necessary that although UFAN Member states agree the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) should always be a last resort a provision must be made to ensure that if a UFAN member deploys Weapons of such Destructive Force that they are in turn protected from Criticism and Harassment from those whom may attempt to use UFAN's own Charter against the deploying nation in attempt to further an Agenda. Thus the Deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction of any kind or variety can be utilized by any UFAN Member state in the following circumstances:

a) If a UFAN Member is struck first with WMD. Destruction is not a requirement the meare launch of a WMD at a UFAN Member will be considered the same as if a launched WMD hits its target.

b) If a UFAN Member has solid, clear, consise and unbiased evidence to suspect they shall be struck by a WMD within the near future. All members agree that such evidence must be disclosed to other UFAN Nations in secret if required but in Public if possible.

c) If a UFAN Member may preemptively deploy WMD if in conflict with a nation or nations with such a bad record of WMD Use that case 'b' can be assumed to automatically apply with the appropriate degree of certainty. Prior deployment of WMD Means by the Enemy within the last 60 Years is preferably required.

d) The deployment of WMD against Economic and Civilian Assets is advised against however should such assets be used to logistically support Military Forces of which will be deployed against UFAN Members then WMD is an option for the UFAN Member. Examples of this would be if a Civilian Airport was to be used to prepare an Airborne Invasion of a UFAN Member State WMD Deployment against that Airport would be an option. Other examples include Ports for Naval Mobilization, Economic Hubs and Internal Transport Links such as Roads, Railways and if required Waterways. Sub-Article (d) should only be used if the deployment of WMD is absolute in the surivial of a UFAN Nations Civilian population and Large Scale Military Forces.

e) The deployment of WMD by UFAN member states will never be used to achieve Genocidal Results of any Nation. However if UFAN states are themselves subject to a "glassing attack" under the Prime Directive and Sub Article (a) of Article 3 the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction against that Aggressor by UFAN members is permitted.

The Definition of a Weapon of Mass Destruction:

"The Charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations defines a Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) as a massive weapon with the capacity to indiscriminately kill or incapacitate any person or persons regardless of whom they are or what they stand for. The phrase broadly encompasses several areas of weapon synthesis, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological weapons."

Article 4:

All UFAN states agree to maintain a standing military force that has the capacity to respond to any situation that UFAN military force maybe required, as detailed in all Articles of this charter and the UFAN Prime Directive.

Further to this all Member nations agree to create the UFAN Rapid Reaction Force which would be a constantly ready force of military force that would deploy anywhere in the world at a moments notice to provide swift UFAN reaction to any situation as detailed in this Charter and the UFAN Prime Directive.

Article 5:

All UFAN Member states agree to provide Diplomatic and Humanitarian support to any UFAN Member State that may require such support.

Article 6:

All UFAN Member States agree further to this Charter and the Prime Directive to actively recognise the following International Alliances and Organizations:

- The Sovereign League
- The Global Defence Initiative
- The Questarian Commonwealth
- The Aggressive Defensive Alliance of Nations
- The Community for Common Economic and Strategic Development (Strategic Partner Alliance of UFAN)
- The Neo-Prussian Empire
- The Soviet Commonwealth (Strategic Partner Alliance of UFAN)

As such under Article 6 of this charter all UFAN members agree to work and co-ordinate with under a Joint International command with the above Alliances to respond to any future police action that may be declared however under this Article UFAN is not required to respond should the above Alliances call upon UFAN Aid and Support.

Article 7:

The High Council will make all UFAN Alliance Decsions, with ratification by the Lower Council. The High Council will be made up of 9 nations in total; two of which would be pernament members, these being the co-founding members The Dominion of Vetaka & The United Socialist States of Wagdog.

The remaining 7 seats will provisionally be held by the first 7 members to join UFAN, but once the member number reaches 14 the 7 High council seats which are not permanent will cycle through a set cycle every 30 Years (1 RL Month), allowing all member states to be part of the High Council. Members not part of the High Council will form the lower council and will ratify all decsions made by the High Council. In times of UFAN Conflict all military decsions will be made by an elected Supreme UFAN Commander and ratified by both the Higher and Lower Councils.

Article 8:

All UFAN member states accept that in order to maintain Overall UFAN capability this Charter and the Prime Directive are subject to change. However, all change will be subject to High Council and Lower Council Vote.

Welcome to UFAN

Yours UFAN High Command

The Republic of Kanami must decline any membership on the basis of calling us to recognize the Global Defense Inititave as any legitimate alliance. Kanami feels no such respect with it's blant disregard to any international law, lack of respect for human life, and it's questionable associations with nations as well as all of it's practices. Your alliance seems nobel indeed but Kanami and allies will likely not join soon.

Official Statement from the Honako Commission

Our current military standing is 2% of our population, due to conscription though and recent conflicts plus a recent influx of troops this can rise to 3-4% relatively easily (our economy though is probably not stable enough to go any higher). We have recently had an exchange in which we received 1,000,000 trained troops from other nations, though we will not be committing these to our military forces until we have tested them and trained them in our forces, so these will be treated as civilian immigrants for now with the ability to bolster our military forces as militia.

Our current number of troops is 5,880,000 - though will population rapidly rising and these 1m new troops and conscription this has the ability to rise, even if it is only with poorly trained militia. Training and equipment would be very useful though as Honako does not have the best trained men.

We currently do not have any military presence in other nations, but we are currently holding peace talks for a war that broke out between us and the nation of Oslea after we abolished smoking – which resulted in deadly anthrax attacks against us. Though help is currently not needed.

Of course we will adopt your charter. We will also consider sending troops for a Rapid Response force and will inform you of our decision on whether to soon.

Diplomatic Message From The United Federation of Allied Nations General Headquarters

To: Mrs. Bourla Parkins, High Commissioner of Honako
From: UFAN High Council

I see of course well UFAN stands by you if you require any support please contact us accordingly. We have 300 Challenger II Tanks that could be sent to you as a donation. Furthemore if you specifiy your equipment details such as Western/Soviet etc etc. Pearce Weapons Inc could provide you with very modern weaponary at a cheaper than store price.

Yours UFAN High Command


OOC: No Worries Kanami I understand.

To: UFAN High Council
From: Fallible Foreign Affairs; Prime-Minister Paul Unagr.

It is with great joy that we, the Nation of Fallible, are able to announce itself a part of UFAN, also, I can hereby confirm that the Federation of Fallible accepts UFAN's Prime Directive and Charter.

While we can not, at present time, fully commit our entire - trained - army to the Rapid Reaction Force we will be willing to provide a small portion of our trained men at a time of need. At present this number, available to deploy into foreign territory, is 18,750.
However, our Navy is free to deploy as part of the Rapid Reaction Force as well as our Air Force.

We are currently not at war with any Nation and so the military of Fallible is, at present, 2,050,000 strong. However 245,000 of these are in training; a further 1,250,000 are reserves; and 176,250 are non-serving staff. However, the 378,750 man army, while small, are trained to the best of their ability.
While we feel that there is nothing really that can be added to our military training or equipment we are very interested in acquiring the OBSAT System.

The Dominion of Sendersdale and Greater Colonies
From the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs

To:
The United Federation of Allied Nations

The Dominion of Sendersdale has expressed much interest in joining this allaince of nations. We believe in a peaceful global community in which nations from it's four corners can live in peace together. Sendersdale has signed the Theeb Accord and we believe that we meet all the other requirements.

As of now our army size is consists of 1.5% of our population (or 6 500 000). As of now the Senderlian government is currently engaged in the Macavaoan Conflict with over 30 000 volunteers in the war. If accepted we would establish a UFAN Rapid Response Force similar to the nations of Wagdog and Vetaka. We have also filed an order for the OBSAT satellite a while ago.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Because of your current situation within the Macavaoan Conflict the current UFAN High Council will meet immediatly to discuss your application. I am confident of that you will be accepted.

Official Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: UFAN High Council
From: Vetakan Foreign Affairs

Subject: Money Donation

The Dominion of Vetaka hearby donates 200 Billion NSD to the United Federation of Allied Nations. This money is to be used to create the UFAN Aid & Diaster Fund as well as the UFAN Member Support Fund. The Dominion of Vetaka will continue to wire money into both Funds every year.

Yours Vetakan Foreign Affairs Secretary Scarlet Rogers

Official Statement from the Honako Commission

After much Commission consideration we would like to inform the UFAN that sadly we cannot provide aid, in an economic form or military form, to this organization and rapid response team as we had planned. Events from a recent war seemed to not have only destroyed thousands of our citizens, but also nearly crippled our economy. The threat of a repeat attack also prevents us from providing troops to this Federation currently - though this seems unlikely and we will be providing troops in the near future.

We still remain this alliance and will follow its charter, just for now we are not sure donating money, even for disaster funds, would be wise.

OOC: This basically means I made a lot of wrong choices in my issues, woops. I now seem to be a corrupt dictatorship which is slightly harsh..

We assure you the Nicksyllvanian Empire will not occupy Zanski for imperialist goals, but for the benefit of it's people and will seek to make it completely independent and free from foreign intrusion, we however do however wish to secure a close relationship between our 2 nations for the future.


Zanski National Mobilization Law:
Zanski Assistance Association: Zanski will be under the temporary rule of the Nicksyllvanian Empire, through the Zanski Assistance Association. ZAA proclamations are absolute and may only be vetoed through a unaminous vote by the Zanski parliament. The ZAA will step down once the Communist insurgency has been destroyed and the Zaynite subhumans have been eradicated.

Martial Law Decree: Zanski will be under martial law for the duration of the conflict. Any communist or communistic activities will result in summary execution or forced labour sentences. Military units will have complete authority to arrest, subdue, and if nessecery, execute any civilians that may be a national threat without trial or evidence.

National Industrial Mobilization: All industries and business's throughout Zanski will be under the regulation and indirect rule of the Zanski Industrial Control Association, the ZICA will have the authority to nationalize any industry or business nessecery for the war effort, and may confiscate any material or finished good for the war effort. ZICA will mainly seek to administer military industrial production and will seek to convert factories producing unnessecery consumer goods to produce war goods, Nicksyllvanian weapons designs will be sent over to allow production.
All men and women over the age of 12 and under the age of 70 may be put to immediate work by ZICA assisted by the military. They shall be properly paid and treated fairly.
The National Patriots Bond will be a voluntary fund raising campaign where all employees will give 90% of their wages to ZICA to assist the war effort. Anyone failing to contribute will be denounced as a communist.
Employees will be put to work as seen fit by ZICA.

National Agricultural Law: All food will be sent into major cities immediately for redistribution to the populace. The military and ZICA retain full authority to confiscate food for any purpose they see fit. Rationing will take place immediately and will be determined by ZICA.

New Educational Policy: Schools will recieve shortened hours to accomodate the Industrial need for employees. Schools will now be required to teach nationalism and patriotic sentiments, and inform children about their friends of Nicksyllvania and the evils of communism. Military Drill, Bayonet fighting, and shooting will also be made a major part of the curriculum.

Zanski Imperial Socialist Youth League: A special paramilitary group for children interested in Nicksyllvanian Imperial Socialism. Children between the ages 10-17 will be elligible.

Zanski Special Police Force: ZSPF will be made up of patriotic Zanskytes completely loyal to the parliament. They will be tasked with population control, rooting out communist insurgents, and to ensure military discipline throughout the Zanski Military.

Conscription Law: All men over the age of 17 and under 60 will be eligible for immediate military service for the duration of the war. All men will be required to join a local Militia and neighbourhood watch program if not in active service.

"Not One Step Back" Declaration: ZSPF, INAF, and Officers will have complete authority to fire upon retreating soldiers and to execute cowards and deserters to maintain the battleline.
59587
Official USSW Alert to UFAN Regarding the Present Zanski and New Nicksyllvanian Situations.
My friends in the alliance, it is with the gravest of news that I must present you today. We have long suspected that the Imperial Socialist Empire of Greater New Nicksyllvania was complicit in the deposed King Kang Arma of Zanski's campaign of genocide against the Zaynite minority population, presently living in the Zansk Commonwealth of Mhoudia that is dominated by a hostile Arab population.
But now, behold! From out of their own mouths the Nicksyllvanians give us proof that they no longer wish to remain mere accessories to genocide. No... now, they wish to become architects of it themselves! Our government has frankly had ENOUGH of the so-called 'Imperial Socialist' Empire's reign of terror, perpetrated throughout the world in places such as Mandrivia and Zanski and beyond against those who merely choose to lead progressive lives in democratic communities; as opposed to lives as serfs... or worse, under the jackboots of verily fascist tyrants.
And so, as your designated representative for my country, and Secretary General of the United Federation of Allied Nations, I must call for debate on this issue. Shall we, as an alliance pledged to halt such blatant war crimes and gross violations of human dignity, declare the ongoing war against New Nicksyllvania in Zanski to be a Federation police action?

My Thanks to You All, in Hope that There Is Still Time,

Offical Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: UFAN High Council
From: Vetakan Foreign Affairs (UFAN Department)

Subject: Zanski and New Nicksyllvanian Situations

The Free Dominion of Vetaka currently has Military Forces deployed in Zanski and en-route to the nation of New Nicksyllvanian as part of the International Response to the on going crisis within Zanski. As the Secretary-General has shown some sort of Internationally Accepted Response and Justification is required as such the Vetakan Nation supports the idea of a Federation Police Action in response to the situation.

The Free Dominion of Vetaka already has troops deployed and we would be more than happy for them to act under a UFAN Banner.

Yours Vetakan Foreign Secretary Thomas Lewis

The New Xanka Authority, being the only recognised government inside of what was the United Federal Kingdom of Zanski, would like to join with the title: The United Federal Republic of Zanski.

OOC: Bump for other nations' views on the Zanski situation?
IC: Seeing as they have done much to restore their people's fortunes despite having far to go, we would not object to the United Federal Republic of Zanski joining this alliance, although a vote or confirmation would be proper procedure...

Sincerely,
Christine Friedrich
Vice Commander-in-Chief, USSW War Office
Secretary-General, United Federation of Allied Nations

TO: UFAN High Council
FROM: SSU UFAN Delegation

The United Socialist States of Socialist States Union would love to calm down this situation. We support the idea of the Secretary-General of Federation Police Action in response to the situation.

We will deploy troops if necessary.

Sincerely,

Nicolai Petrovsky

- Letter to the UFAN from Mrs. Bourla Parkins, High Commissioner of the Three States of Honako

The United States of Little Honako, Mainland Honako and our massive economically thriving independent city state of Honako Inc. expressed concern with Zanski's rule when his declaration against Communists first came out, and his leader massacred innocent students.

Sadly though we have failed to keep up with the events unfolding in this country - though we have heard of Wagdog's disputes with New Nicksyllvania. We feel we are unable to fully commit ourselves to a conflict at this fragile time after war in our country without the full information of what exactly is going on.

However, we trust our allies in Wagdog and we are prepared to mobilize our troops in preparation for war - though we would like to have discussion about it first before we commit ourselves to this fight against the New Nicksyllvanian possible murderous actions and blatant war crimes.

We congratulate you very clear statement of commitment to the principles this alliance embodies, especially the abolition of slavery in your lands. Your reduced forces are still quite potent insofar as any Federation-mandated contingency commitments are concerned, and naturally subject to whatever revisions or additions you desire. The Second Empire of Hataria has taken a courageous new step forward, and we are with you all the way in sponsoring your membership for approval.
Regarding that, we shall begin drawing up shipments by air and sea of what supplies you request; and although we do not wish war over the issue, we shall defend your right to said aid should it be subject to active aggression by those currently attempting to seal you off. You need only state what you wish, and as soon as your membership is officially confirmed by the High Council we can move. We said we shall defend your fundamental rights, and we meant it; whatever the obstacle or foe.

Diplomatic Message From The United Federation of Allied Nations General Headquarters:

To: <Open Communication>
From: UFAN High Council

Subject: Hataria Application

The United Federation of Allied Nations Prime Directive is to protect its memberstates from Harm and to help and protect the Worlds Innocent from Tyranny and Destruction. The Second Empire of Hataria broke this Directive during its wars and it was subsequently defeated by a group of Allied Nations now the nation of Hataria seeks aid to rebuild and heal. Some nations understandably have called for the complete and utter destruction of Hataria and the Genocide of its people. However as the old saying goes "Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Right as such the nation and people of Hataria are accepted into the United Federation of Allied Nations.

UFAN will support and protect Hataria in coalition with the Dominion Commonwealth UFAN will do all it can to support the people with Economic Aid. However Hataria's UFAN Membership does not come without conditions Hataria must agree to:

1) Sign the Theeb Accords
2) Abide by and Defend the United Federation of Allied Nations Charter and Prime Directive
3) Apologise to the world for its actions
4) Publically take the Vetakan Oath of Loyalty (Seperate Thread)

The High Council fully accept that some nations see Hataria as getting away and riding an Easy Ride however we would like to reassure all that Hataria will not be getting an Easy Ride to rebuild the nation will yes need money but also need the Hardwork and Commitment of Hataria. UFAN would now like to make it clear to Hataria that should you even attempt to revert to your former ways you will stand alone and The United Federation of Allied Nations will respond accordingly.

UFAN calls upon all nation currently supporting active action against Hataria to halt and support UFAN in its action.

Yours UFAN High Council

OOC:

Vetakan Oath of Loyalty

The oath is a scared Vow that Emperor Barbossa II (Hataria) will take in a Open Thread before delegates from around the world. The Oath is breakable by death alone and as such should Hataria revert to your/his old ways. I personally as The Free Dominion of Vetaka will fight to the death to defeat it.

The Armed Republic of Kampfers would like to thank Wagdog and Vetaka for its inception into this alliance. Kampfers is sound militarily, with the Excalibur Defense System and OBSAT. The army is undergoing drastic changes, and currently is not fit to do anything besides protect the borders of Kampfers. This will all change soon, after the army finishes its reoutfitting.

We have 25 million soldiers in our army.

Economically, Green Hawk can offer steel, iron and other metals. Our factories also make weapons, but only enough to supply Green Hawk's army. However in an emergency the factories can work overtime to make weapons for allies. Green Hawk's army is small, which means that we can only help in a small way (about 4 divisions max and maybe two more in an all out war). Thats about summarizes it.

Our nation has 24.03 million troops active and another 16.38 million in reserve (this includes both combat and logistics troops). This is a peacetime force and could be expanded extensively in the event of total war. We also maintain sizable strategic weapons stockpiles in Vetalia and member states of the COMECON.

Our national GDP is $180 trillion, a population of 4.6 billion with $36,551 per capita. Our primary economic resources are information technology, computer hardware and robotics, biotechnology, machinery, electrical components, and telecommunications devices. We also graduate large numbers of engineers and scientists, and our economy has one of the best educated workforces in the world. Like with the COMECON, these resources could be tapped by the organization based upon its needs.

Keep these forces in readiness, but do not deploy before full word is given. Haven is trying to limit the war to Vetaka versus Clandonia, one we believe Vetaka can prevail in. Hence, withdrawal of foreign allied forces in position has commenced and deployments are on hold pending changes in the situation; of which you shall be notified promptly as they occur.

Thank You,

Wasn't I apart of UFAN?

Aurum Domus High Command

The Republic would love to have the UFAN headquarters in our capital city of Goldton. It is a beautiful and clean sprawling metropolis.

Ok abit late I know my apologies here is the proposed High Council-Lower Council cycle. Comments required:


UFAN High Council Members:

1) The Dominion of Vetaka (Co-Founder of UFAN & Pernament High Council Member)
2) The United Socialist States of Wagdog (Co-Founder of UFAN & Pernament High Council Member)
3) The Oppressed Peoples of Honako
4) The Federation of Fallible
5) The Armed Republic of Aurum Domus
6) The Armed Republic of Kampfers
7) The United Socialist States of Socialist States Union
8) The Republican Monarchy of Granate
9) The NXA Authority of Zanski

Lower Council:

The Second Empire of Hataria
The Dominion of Sendersale
The NXA Authority of Zanski
The Allied States of Green Hawk
The Imperial Federation of Dai Yuddha Ossyria
The Empire of the Federal Union
The United States of Calizorinstan
The Technocratic Union of Vetalia

Basically from RL tomorrow the 17th May 2007 I propose members rotate into the High Council on a monthly basis so for example in a months time:

The Oppressed Peoples of Honako will leave the HC and join the bottom of the list of the LC. As a result The Second Empire of Hataria will join the High Council and everybody moves up. As for the two pernament members I am willing to surrender that privliage if the membership demands it. Anyway Comments required please feel free to submit entirely new cycle systems.

Would everybody whom wants the UFAN Headquarters in their nation please provide a brief description of their proposed locations.

Regards

Vetaka

We submit San Diego up for consideration for UFAN Headquarters, here is the description

It's a bright sunny city, with good airport access, is an international airport in Calizorinstan, good shopping and resturant's. A tourist hot spot, also have a former convention center that could be utilized as the building for the UFAN Headquarter's, is near a key Calizorinstan Air Force Base, and Naval Base, and the HQ is well protected by those, and the Calizorinstani Falcon security guards to protect the UFAN HQ.

Thanks for considering,
John Atwood
Foreign Minister
Calizorinstan

OOC: Lol, i'd like to be a permanent member of the high council.

IC:
Kampfers would like to propose a city for UFAN Headquarters.

Kampfers Stadt

The capital of Kampfers is a beautiful coastal city. It is home to the largest corporations in Kampfers. It is a economic, tourist, and politcal hotspot. The largest airport in Kampfers is located in downtown. The largest military base lies just outside the city, so security is not an issue. Kampfers also has extremely good relations with Vetaka and Wagdog, which may or may not be considered in the deciscion.

OOC: I've looked at the Council systems, and it seems fair - although of cause I don't want to be knocked of the council - and I must say I'd prefer Falliable to be knocked off before me considering his activity is nil currently.

Also, I might as well offer you a place in my lovely areas to base yourselves: :p

Nation: Honako
City: Jabero
Bio And Reasons: Jabero is the oldest, grandest, and most architecturally pleasing city in all of Honako. It is the centre for the high society of the country, much like Honakon's Milan it plays host to fashion events, and also is one of the most highly recommended cities to visit for culinary exploits. It features many wonders of old Honakon when it was ruled by the Belgium’s, including European Style buildings, and also the Commissioner Headquarters, which has recently been reopened, better than ever.

Many class this as the freest city in the relitively oppressed nation; it borders on Little Honako, a democratic socialist haven, and is the only city where the entire press remains free, without state influence. But this is all for leisure, politics, which will be very important in the UFAN, is a major thing in Jabero - it holds the official HQ for the Greater Honakon Commission, leader of 1.1 billion people. Within this, Jabero also has Embassy Row and United Avenue, where many UFAN and other nations have embassies. To add to this, it is the second largest city in terms of corporations in the whole of Greater Honako, only behind Honako Inc., a city of 200 million that is purely focused on the economy. Basically, Jabero is the political and economic hotspot of Honako, and also has the lowest crime rate in the whole of the nation, and maintains the third largest military force protecting the city in the whole of the three country region.

Our two proposed lots for an official meeting place of the UFAN are the Tuyan Business Conference Hall (named after the once richest man in Honako, which would be renamed the UFAN Conference Hall), a modern centre for business and commerce, and provides a stainless, glass and enclosed feel, without the character of other buildings but with maximum safety, comfort and function. Another place we wish to offer is the character filled, smaller, grander but ornately and exquisitely furnished Commissioners Hall Of Commerce, which lies in the centre of the town, surrounded by businesses, corporations, the embassy buildings, and shops and eating facilities. This building was first built when Honako was founded, to the style of the The Royal Palace of Belgium, is a place built many years ago to be a thriving centre to Jabero. Both places also provide a massive set of transports links (buses and inner city trams are the main and most popular routes - plus a regular limo, taxi and hired car service) to Jabero International Airport (the third largest in Honako, and flying to all member nations), Jabero Private Airport (the place where most diplomats usually land) and to the embassies, and a number of inner city areas of interest.

For a city full of charm, elegance, character, and political and economic importance, choose Jabero.

Lemme find you the NSWiki Article on Lucianus....

http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Lucianus

Yea read that. It's not finished, but hey I don't want to spend 10 minutes writing up something that will pale in comparison to this.

I support having headquarters in Jabero, Honako. I also would like to mention that Aurum Domus has maintained a military base there since the Honako Hostility Conference incident and therefore the city will be well protected.

I also want to propose a standard assault rifle cartridge to make UFAN warfare more efficent. Ammo commonality will also make fighting togther easier as we wouldn't have to worry about differences. The cartridge I propose for standardisation is the 6.7x53mm Imperial cartridge manufactured by Doomingsland Defense Industries:

Drawing on experience from both the DR-31 and DR-78, designers and Doomingsland Defense Industries put together a round that would have managable recoil but superior kinetic energy and knockdown power. The result of this was a blending between cartrages: the 6.7x53mm Imperial cartrage. Standard issue cartrages use a 135-grain bullet. While it is more than twice as heavy as the 5.56x45mm NATO cartrage, it is still light enough to allow for superb kinetic energy from the long case, which is acualy a shortened, necked down 7.8x63mm case.

Using advanced quick burning powder and superb ignition with a steel case, the 6.7mm cartrage's combination of weight and kinetic energy produces what the Empire sees as the perfect round: excellent range, excellent penetration, excellent terminal performance. This allows for the penetration of body armor at long ranges while maintaining awsome knockdown power. When used in close quarters, the 6.7mm cartrage is positively deadly, piercing most body armor and dropping men with a single hit. When used in two-round burst, a kill is almost assured.

In order to penetrate armor and put down an enemy soldier, DDI designers came up with a blended metal bullet for the new 6.7mm cartrage. While this round is seen to have questionable results by some nation's militaries, blended metal rounds have served the Empire well through multiple wars with distinction, effectively penetrating body armor and causing horrific wounds.

I also want to propose a standard assault rifle cartridge to make UFAN warfare more efficent. Ammo commonality will also make fighting togther easier as we wouldn't have to worry about differences. The cartridge I propose for standardisation is the 6.7x53mm Imperial cartridge manufactured by Doomingsland Defense Industries:
We are sorry, but although we're open as to the site of the HQ, we ourselves cannot countenance a caliber change at present. We are logistically committed to the 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov round, which has served us well in all our past wars and should do so yet once we standardize upon some new Czechalrussian arms in that caliber. It is available, economical, and effective even today; so we ourselves see no need to change our rifle ammunition although other nations in UFAN may do as they wish. We admit, the irony of a Doomani cartridge being used by an anti-slavery alliance is also another reason we are opposed to its use as a formal UFAN standard; though again nations may retain their sovereignty in the matter of course.

The Republican Monarchy will not agree to any standardization of military equipment as of this time.

We could also have two standard rounds. I agree that the 7.62x39 is a great round and has been reliable since its inception many years ago. Infact, Aurum Domus used the 7.62x39 round in our previous AK 103 weapon system.

Is the slave trade still legal in Doomani? I wasn't aware that it was.

Granate does not use the 7.62x39 Round. We use the 6.5x55 Round based off the 6.55x35 Grendel Round.

Well that could be a problem in any conflict we are in. Ammunition commonality is critical in working together.

Well that could be a problem in any conflict we are in. Ammunition commonality is critical in working together.
But critical to determining weapons requirements are tactical science, plus operational art and strategic doctrine to determine that, plus taking account of a nation's logistical capabilities and military economy above all. UFAN has no unified military doctrine, and given our various forces' differing requirements probably cannot either. Some of us take a very Western approach, others preferring Soviet doctrine, and still others preferring a hybrid approach such as ourselves; and all have a sovereign right to besides we might add.
In our case, converting to the 6.7x53mm Imperial round would render our entire stock of 7.62x39mm ammo redundant and in need of either sale or other disposal; in exchange for us gaining access to a weapons family which, while we respect in the technical sense, we have no desire to operate upon the ethical grounds of not wanting to financially support the vile Doomani regime. Others here may operate this weaponry if they wish, for there's no sense in being petty; but we ourselves simply aren't comfortable with the idea all the same. We would honestly prefer UFAN-wide military exercises in an agreed location, aside from Vetaka of course given both their current war and standing Havenite 'preferences' expressed in its course, be held first so as to determine the relative standard of our various forces; before we start talking about unified weapons standards to match tactical requirements yet unclear.

OOC: Ok because of all the offered places of Headquarters ill set up a voting thread so that we can all vote at some point tomorrow.

As for standardization I am against it at the moment as I belive an Alliance that uses technology from across the spectrum is fantastic as it allows to diversifiy and meet any and all threats

OOC: UFAN Headquarters Voting will begin at around Midnight GMT the following have been put forward please feel free to put your on city down however I need to know for around 23:30 today.

United Federation of Allied Nations Issue Requiring Urgent Debate and an Immediate Position Adopted:

Situation Name: Renewed Strator Situation

Nations involved: Strator, Greston and Numerous UFAN Member States

Summary: The nation of Greston currently threatens Military Action towards the nation of Strator. Because of background history between Strator and UFAN Members a UFAN wide position needs to be adopted.

Background:

After the intial Strator Slave Trading began Allied Forces involving such nations as Wagdog launched Military Operations to remove the Slave Trading all out going trading ceased and a Wagdog Police Occupation began this was eventually replaced by a Vetakan Force. After it was clear Strator was complying to the imposed treaty and its presence at the Theeb Conference Vetaka withdrew from Strator from then until now nothing notable has occured within the nation.

Proposed UFAN Position:

"The United Federation of Allied nations respects the right of independance of the nation of Strator as such the Federation will continue to monitor the situation and review and further its intial investigations into the Strator situation and its Slave Trading Practices. Should probable course for UFAN action be found or develop the Federation commits itselt to multiple Diplomatic, Economic and if required Military Actions that will defineded and directed at a later day.

We ourselves agree that only monitoring the situation at present is warranted, although this also includes The PeoplesFreedom's actions as well. Strator must not be given the impression that his slave trade will be permitted to resume, even if his sovereignty is respected. Hence, we must be firm in upholding the Theeb Accords as our co-founding document, and their paramount authority in this matter. All other concerns, though extant, are secondary; Greston must recognize the consequences of hasty action, even though the penalty should remain within reason all the same. For now, we advise materially-prepared neutrality and due vigilance in this matter; no more.

Strator is quiet, I feel as if it would be best to stop Greston from reawakening him and his very public use of slavery. How you wish to do that, I'll leave that up to the UFAN.

AFTERBURNER

I was just wondering if everyone is okay with me transporting the slaves to an island because of a contract set up between Afterburner and Greston. I'll stop if conflict breaks out between Greston and UFAN, but I just want to know if this is ok for the time being?

OOC: We should wait for Vetaka's opinion at least, as well as others' too, but I'd say that should be fine so long as TPF isn't angered. Wait before moving, but prepare to on the instant approval should come; as is so often the case nowadays. Also, AFAIK we're not actually targeting anyone here; just gearing up discreetly and keeping a weather eye on both Greston and TPF in case either does something truly threatening to the Theeb Accords here.

The Commonwealth of Australonesia would very much like to become a member-state of UFAN.

In turn, each battalion is broken up into an A Company, a B Company, a C Company, and a D Company; as well as a logistical support company and a 20-man command unit. Each company has five platoons. Platoons, which consist of twenty men each, are often divided into 10-man squads.

I am concerned on how we go about fighting this war. Blub lies within the so called Havenic Curtain so any attack will bring down the wrath of all of Haven.

Absolutely seconded. UFAN cannot allow naked aggression against a member state to stand; simply put. Hence, we are mobilizing fully now and going to DEFCON 3. We shall refrain from higher unless in case of a) combat circumstances requiring so and b) Dominion Commonwealth clearance for strategic weapons employment, in that ascending order.

Although our stated RRF is outdated, we shall update you on the forces to be sent once the final orders are drafted. Regarding our Seventh Army Group in Zanski, we ask the NXA Authority permission to temporarily withdraw our forces from Zanski for possible redeployment to any of several combat theaters; and to be returned to Zaynah once aggression is repelled or peace maintained through negotiation. Our request is urgent, although we can deploy without the Seventh for the time being, so we ask alacrity in Zanski's response.

-USSW State Department-

OOC: Alright, people, I've got some good news. Haven will not do much unless the war itself spills in to their territory. That means keep the war out of Blubland unless we get approval from the Haven nations that we can move in.

That being said, I support this resolution (I don't recall if I ever received formal admission to UFAN, but if so I support it.)

As a loyal member of the UFAN and the DC, I heartily support this resolution, and I have force's in Hataria to defend it, and I will be glad if diplomacy fails to fight alongside you, since my nation doesn't tolerate agressor's at all.

United Federation of Allied Nations Message:

"Article 1:

Further to the Prime Directive UFAN member states agree to form a Collective Security Military Treaty to protect any member states sovereignty from active external aggression. As such should an Armed Attack occur either internally or externally anywhere on the planet on one or more UFAN states, that attack shall be considered an Attack upon them all. As such all UFAN members will respond with a centrally coordinated military, economic and diplomatic response."

Due to the continued aggression by the Nation of Blub and the deployment of Military Forces from many Federation Nations it has become clear that UFAN must act as such under Article 1 as detailed above. The United Federation of Allied Nations calls for immediate deployments to be made in order to protect the Second Empire of Hataria. Further to this the Federation Rapid Reaction Force will be deployed to the Second Empire.

Absolutely seconded. UFAN cannot allow naked aggression against a member state to stand; simply put. Hence, we are mobilizing fully now and going to DEFCON 3.

The Zaynite People's Army, the military wing of the Zaynite Republican Front, has declared war on the NMTA as a revenge for the estimated 10,000 Zaynites killed by the NMTA. The 300 Ethnic Karazis living in Zaynah have been taken hostage and are currently in an undisclosed location in Mrahed.

3 rockets have been fired from the Zaynite side of the disputed UFAN Zaynah-Karazistan border (known locally as the White line) and one person has been killed so far. The NMTA has been accepting volunteers from South Mhoudia and the Zansk Jayirian Autonomous Region, while Zaynah has been given troops from many Gharrakmanist militias inKarfai State and Tumad State. (http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l147/Terezanski/zanski-1.jpg)

We ask of UFAN what the Zansk army should do, if anything. Zanski is frightened that any peacekeeping soldiers may be bias against the Zaynites, but understands that there are other matters for UFAN to be worried about. Zanski wants to stop this fighting before it gets nasty.

Estimates put the Zaynite force at 13,000 plus 1,600 foreign volunteers and Karazi at 17,000 plus 500 foreign volunteers.

We ask of UFAN what the Zansk army should do, if anything. Zanski is frightened that any peacekeeping soldiers may be bias against the Zaynites, but understands that there are other matters for UFAN to be worried about. Zanski wants to stop this fighting before it gets nasty.

Estimates put the Zaynite force at 13,000 plus 1,600 foreign volunteers and Karazi at 17,000 plus 500 foreign volunteers.
The Zansk Army should use all legal means to preserve its authority in the affected areas, including lethal force provided whatever precision possible is maintaied. Also, since the situation requiring Seventh Army be withdrawn is far less severe, we may retain the force in-country or else return it to Zaynah by airlift immediately if has indeed left; and will gladly assist in restoring order without fear or favor to any rebelling side. Our apologies for neglecting your internal situation, but rest assured we are also committed to upholding the Moxim Road Declaration in full.

The verdict has been reached: Kang Arma is guilty and will, along with 110,000 other Pro-Nickysllvanians, Pro-Armites or Anti-Zaynites, will be the last to cross our border with New Nickysllvania before it is closed and defenses put up.

I support this resolution as a member of the UFAN.

We're most pleased to hear of this justice, served as per treaty, being dealt unto the former King and his cohorts. If you need our assistance in setting up the defenses, we would gladly supply it with our military engineering units in-theater. Hopefully now greater stability can return to Zanski, although our commitment to keeping Zaynah and Karazistan at peace with each other until their status can be formally solved remains.

Here are the proposed defences:

It is a great pleasure and a great honour to accept the Kingdom of Kopparbergs into the United Federation of Allied Nations. May we enquire as to the current capacity of your Military? Although this is not complusory it does allow us to better understand eachothers Military Forces?

Its an honour to have you with us.

Diplomatic message to the High Council of UFAN

CC: Christine Friedrich, United Socialist States of Wagdog
From: General Carl Hamilton, Secretary of Defense, The Socialist Kingdom of Kopparbergs

It is with great pleasure I received your reply that we're accepted into the UFAN.

To start with, we will donate $200 billion NSD to the UFAN Member Support Fund, and more will come.

We are very satisfied with our military capacity today. The Red navy has gone through a massive buildup the last years, and we're now having a large, modern blue-water navy.
Our population is around 3.5 billion people, and 2% of them are engaged in The Red Military Forces of the Socialist Kingdom of Kopparbergs, which equals somewhere around 69 million men (with an additional 3% in the reserve forces, around 103 million men). Our defense budget is today $18.5 trillion NSD.

We will contribute with the following forces to the UFAN Rapid Reaction Force:
Two Ulyanovsk Battlegroups
1 Ulyanovsk Class Aircraft carrier
3 Kirov Class Battlecruiser
3 Krivak Class
2 Udaloy II Class
2 Slava Class
2 Kara Class
4 Sovremenny Class
4 Typhoon (941) Class Submarines (Ballistic, torpedo, missiles)
4 Oscar-II (949) Class Submarines (Cruise-missile, attack sub)

and

One Kiev Battlegroup
1 Kiev Class Aircraft carrier
2 Kirov Class Battlecruiser
2 Krivak Class
1 Udaloy II Class
1 Slava Class
4 Sovremenny Class
2 Oscar-II (949) Class Submarines (Cruise-missile, attack sub)


And we will, of course, provide more resources should it be necessary!

I'm really looking forward to a fruitful and beneficial cooperation with the UFAN members!

I almost forgot one thing! We're not having any kind of nuclear weapons in Kopparbergs. We don't believe in them, as they cost a lot of money but are rarely used. We think it's much better to put the money in other types of equipment that are being used more often.

Official Letter of Withdrawl from UFAN

Dear members of UFAN,
It has become time for Kampfers to part ways with this alliance. I hope my friends in Vetaka, Wagdog, and Honako are not offended by this move. To me, it seems the right thing to do. While I applaud the goals and rules of UFAN, I can no longer follow these with a clean consience. Article Three of the UFAN Charter states that "UFAN states agree further to the UFAN Prime Directive that they will respond to protect the Innocent and True from the manifestation of true man made Evil wherever it may occur. UFAN member states agree to respond stop war crimes and gross destruction of basic human rights." While this is an honorable goal, many feel that it prevents justice from occurring. Case in point was the destruction of Hataria. Once again, we have such a situation. Yet this time, members of UFAN are involved. Unfortunately, their response is no different than the worlds. Allow me to quote a few UFAN members. The Vetakan leader stated to me directly "we intend to destroy the The Fighting Stars via Nuclear Means." Others, such as Aurum Domus and Vetalia stated that they would back Vetaka no matter what they did. While some, such as Wagdog, have plead reason, it seems hardly fair to let the nuclear first strike go unrepaid. But Kampfers can not pledge its support to Vetaka and follow the laws set forth by the UFAN charter. And we place our allies above any alliance law. We have thus placed our support in Vetaka. Yet we can not remain in an alliance where the members (ourselves included) so blatantly defy the laws we have set forth for ourselves. It is because of this that Kampfers withdraws from UFAN. May god bless you, as you continue on your journey into the unknown.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

Official Free Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: <Open Communicaton>
From: Vetakan Foreign Affairs

Subject: Kampferian Withdrawal of UFAN

After much consideration The Free Dominion of Vetaka has decided that Nuclear Retaliation in response to the Princess City Attack would be wrong and would lower Vetaka to the levels of those nations whom resort to Nuclear Violence in order to achieve their Goals as such Vetaka intends to invade the nation of The Fighting Stars and remove the Violent Regime currently in power within the nation.

The Free Dominion of Vetaka is deeply saddened by withdrawal of Kampfers from this Alliance however we understand its position and hope that the strong ties between Vetaka, UFAN and Kampfers will remain Strong and Proud. We hope that in the future they will return to United Federation either way Kampfers will always have Vetakan Support and we thank the nation of Kampfers for their constant offers of support in this very heart renching crisis.

The Time Has Come!

After a long night of secret talks under watch of Zansk soldiers, the leader of the Zaynite National Front, Filipo Nedem and the tribal elders of the Northern Mhoudian Tribal Alliance have reached an agreement:

*Full exchange of nationalities (Karaz>Karazistan, Zaynites>Zaynah)
*Pullout of NMTA and ZNF from 7 miles of the proposed border
* 30-year ceasefire
*Zaynite recognition of Islamic predominance until 1,100 years ago in Zaynah
*NMTA paying $70,000,000 in damages to Zaynah over next 15 years

the ZNF has also made a deal with Zanski that the ZNF would not rule, but will be a political party. General Marabas, an Atheist Zaynite who fronts the ZNF's old rival LZA (Liberal Zaynite Army) would rule for a year before elections, as he may be the only one able to calm the Zaynites down (with military force)

Zanski awaits the UFAN's decision and will be open to suggestions.

OOC: I know I'm no longer a member, but if I were you Vetaka, I'd have your members sign NEATO as well as the Theeb Accords.

It is with great concern that we report this to the organisation:

IC
It is with great pleasure, especially following the regrettable but understandable departure of Kampfers from this alliance, that I personally approve of the settlement in Zaynah between the NMTA and the various Zaynite factions. I regret not being able to speak on this issue sooner, for the war against The Fighting Stars was underway and I was indisposed aboard a National Command Post aircraft when the announcement came down; as per Wagdog's doctrine when facing a potential nuclear exchange as we did against The Fighting Stars. So far, that appears unlikely now; and I can announce that for the moment I am available again for UFAN duties.

Regarding suggestions, I would only venture that the arrangement between the LZA and the ZNF be as closely monitored as the border situation. Our own forces will remain in theater for now as a stabilizing presence, unless of course the United Federal Republic of Zanski should desire their removal as unnecessary in the wake of this settlement; and in general we will gladly underpin this deal however may be needed of us.

Diplomatic Message From The United Federation of Allied Nations General Headquarters:

To: All Member States
From: UFAN Secretary General Christine Friedrich

Subject: Amendment of Article 3 of UFAN Charter

Under the provision of Article 8 of the Charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations it is written that the Charter is subject to change so that UFAN Capacity and Political Standing can be maintained. As a result under this Article it is proposed that Article 3 be amended to the following:

"Article 3 Amendment 1

The United Federation of Allied Nations will always do its best to protect the Innocent and Free within this world. However in order to protect its members it has been deemed necessary that although UFAN Member states agree the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) should always be a last resort a provision must be made to ensure that if a UFAN member deploys Weapons of such Destructive Force that they are in turn protected from Criticism and Harassment from those whom may attempt to use UFAN's own Charter against the deploying nation in attempt to further an Agenda. Thus the Deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction of any kind or variety can be utilized by any UFAN Member state in the following circumstances:

a) If a UFAN Member is struck first with WMD. Destruction is not a requirement the meare launch of a WMD at a UFAN Member will be consider the same as if a launched WMD hits its target.

b) If a UFAN Member has solid, clear, consise and unbiased evidence to suspect they shall be struck by a WMD within the near future. All members agree that such evidence must be disclosed to other UFAN Nations in secret if required but in Public if possible.

c) If a UFAN Member may preemptively deploy WMD if in conflict with a nation or nations with such a bad record of WMD Use that case 'b' can be assumed to automatically apply with the appropriate degree of certainty. Prior deployment of WMD Means by the Enemy within the last 60 Years is preferably required.

d) The deployment of WMD against Economic and Civilian Assets is advised against however should such assets be used to logistically support Military Forces of which will be deployed against UFAN Members then WMD is an option for the UFAN Member. Examples of this would be if a Civilian Airport was to be used to prepare an Airborne Invasion of a UFAN Member State WMD Deployment against that Airport would be an option. Other examples include Ports for Naval Mobilization, Economic Hubs and Internal Transport Links such as Roads, Railways and if required Waterways. Sub-Article (d) should only be used if the deployment of WMD is absolute in the surivial of a UFAN Nations Civilian population and Large Scale Military Forces.

e) The deployment of WMD by UFAN member states will never be used to achieve Genocidal Results of any Nation. However if UFAN states are themselves subject to a "glassing attack" under the Prime Directive and Sub Article (a) of Article 3 the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction against that Aggressor by UFAN members is permitted."

The reasons for the proposed Amendment is to keep the Federations Political Standing and Capacity within the ever changing Modern World. The United Federation of Allied Nations will never use WMD as a means of Active Genocide. This is only draft 1 and any amendments are welcome and should be proposed. Before this Amendment can be written into the Charter all member states of the United Federation of Allied Nations must vote. The amendment will be enacted by a clear Majority.

"The Charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations defines a Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) as a massive weapon with the capacity to indiscriminately kill or incapacitate any person or persons regardless of whom they are or what they stand for. The phrase broadly encompasses several areas of weapon synthesis, including nuclear, biological, chemical radiological weapons."

To: All UFAN Members
From: Mick Hudson, Sec. of Defense
Subject: Standardized equipment

It has come to my country's attention that several UFAN member-states may be using different weapons, all requiring different caliber bullets. To solve this logistics nightmare, my colleagues and I have come up with a list of equipment that we believe should be adopted as UFAN standard. This equipment consists of the following:

HK 416 or FN SCAR Assault Rifle (both have a Quick-Change Barrel allowing for change between 5.56x45mm NATO or 7.62x51 NATO.)
FN Five-SeveN pistol
M-67 Grenade
M249 SAW heavy machine gun
AT4 Rocket Launcher

If any other states have any suggestions, we encourage them to come forward. This list is not binding but rather our suggestion.

OOC: I figured that since the two major alliances of our time, NATO and Warsaw Pact, both had standard loadouts, we should too.

OOC: I doubt people will agree to standardisation. I pitched the idea awhile ago and everyone was opposed.

OOC: Aurum Domus is right.

As before, Kampfers would be opposed to the standardization of our weaponry. The cost would be immense and we would lose some of the functionalities of our own weapons. Kampfers for one has developed its own assault rifle, the KW 22, and does not wish to part with it at this time.

Official Free Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: All UFAN Member Nations
From: Vetakan Foreign Affairs

Subject: Standardization of Weaponary.

Whilst the Vetakan Government understands the logic of possible UFAN wide Weapon Standardization. However the Vetakan Government at this time is unwilling and unable to standardize its weaponary due to budget problems, Furthermore often Weapon Standardization is a show of Political Ideology, be it Communist or socialist.

As a result the Vetakan Government must again make its stance clearly, firmly against UFAN Standardization. However the Vetakan Government as mentioned does understand the logic behind the idea as a result would UFAN members be willing to maintain ammo stocks of different UFAN Member weaponary? This would be benifical and would be possible to set up with minimum cost?

United Federation of Allied Nations Issue Requiring Urgent Debate and an Immediate Position Adopted:

Situation Name: British Londinium and Accusations of War Crimes against Cazelia

Nations involved:

British Londinium & Cazelia

Summary:

Intelligence from various nations Intelligence Services such as Vetakan Security and Intelligence (VSIS) combined with accusations by the Cazelian Government suggests that British Londinium Forces committed War Crimes against the Cazelian People. Whether these crimes took place with or without the consent and authorization of the British Londinium Government is unknown.

Background:

During the various Diplomatic and Military battles fought between Cazelia and British Londinium it is believed that Military Forces belonging to British Londinium committed acts of War Crimes against the Cazelian people. These accused crimes are vast and examples include Rape, Theft and Murder. Whilst UFAN cares not for the outcome of War between the two nations UFAN is deeply concerned regarding these accusations as it is inviolation of UFAN Ideals and Principles. To an extent these accusations violate the Theeb Accords with British Londinium being a signatory action may be required.

Proposed UFAN Position:

"The United Federation of Allied Nations further to its Prime Directive will launch its own collective investigation into these accusations to be carried out by an elected nation. On completion of this investigation the elected nation will report back to the UFAN Councils. If it is found that British Londinium Forces did commit war crimes and subsequent evidence is found to support these claims. UFAN will respond to bring those responsible to justice. UFAN nations will respond peacefully as much as possible but will respond with Military Force as and where required. Further debate will be taken before any action is made be that Diplomatic, Economic or Military Action"

OOC: Any Volunteers to investigate?

Official Kampferian Statement
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/kampferianseal.jpg

Kampfers would be in favor of the proposed ammunition stores. We would also be in favor of investigating British Londinium for the claims as stated by Cazelia. However, Kampfers is not in a situation to respond in any method other than by condemnation due to the growing situation in Vetaka. As such, we offer our full diplomatic support to whoever does attempt to investigate, but as of now can offer nothing more.

The Green Hawk Special Operations Police is more then fully prepared and ready to start an investigation on the accusations of war crimes against British Londinium. However, they would need any and all information that has been been gathered thus far so they can get up to date on the situation. An investigation will start right away when everything is in order and when Green Hawk receives permission to start. Thank you.

Edit: OOC: Just found the thread and I just started reading over it.

Official Government Response

Central Prestonia is willing to investigate these accusations. The Central Prestonian Intelligence Agency (CPIA) will head the investigation. I can personally attest to one incident, the now well-known assassination at the Cazelian Ball. While this may or may not constitute a "war crime", it is a crime nonetheless and should be prosecuted. With regard to the issue raised earlier about standardization, we appreciate and respect the positions of Vetaka and Kampfers, and would like to clarify that the proposal was not fielded for political reasons but logistical ones. We are in full favor of maintaining an ammunition stockpile, and for reference all of our weapons currently use the 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO rounds, with the exception of the M82 sniper rifle which uses the .50 caliber BMG round.

OOC: Kampfers, I'm interested in this KW 22 assault rifle. Would you mind posting or TGing the specs to me? I figure if it's good enough for Kampfers it's good enough for Central Prestonia.

Thomas Glower

OOC: Don't worry. I think I been on NS long enough to know the difference between secret IC and open IC. ;)

CPIA would be pleased to work with the SOP. We've already got Hasley covered, if you have any suggestions as to what else should be done, please let us know.

My government is helping rebuild Cazelia. Basically I did this so I can have people in Cazelia legitimately. Once I have established a presence in Cazelia we can use it to move men and supplies into the country. I also have a slightly unorthodox idea. I'll run it by Vetaka first to see if its worth posting.

CPIA's hit a major roadblock in the investigation: Hasley's under arrest and our agent's been captured and killed. We don't know how at this point, but first guess is that the Londinians traced the intercepted message to the agent's hideout. What's more, getting another agent in will be a challenge in itself as I'm assuming the Londinians are going to tighten their borders in light of this. If you have ideas, we're willing to listen.

OOC: I was just wondering, when and how did the collective nationalist rape of Cazelia begin? It seems that everyone either has or wants a piece of them and being a noob I'm clueless as to why.

OOC: I was just wondering, when and how did the collective nationalist rape of Cazelia begin? It seems that everyone either has or wants a piece of them and being a noob I'm clueless as to why.

OOC: because a lot of people like BL are expansionist tards. They prey on defenseless noobs and chase them from NS forever. It pisses me off.

OOC: Yeah, BL got kind of pissed at the Ball because I RPed my delegate being wounded in the crossfire and I kind of took it as him saying "stay out of this," so I did because I didn't want to be his next colony. The stuff he's been doing to Cazelia disgusts me both ICly and OOCly and if I was as big as him he'd have a Prestonian invasion to deal with.

OOC: Well they may not be saints but I've personally never seen AMF, you, Honako, Wagdog, Vetaka, or any other bigger nations turn a noob into their vassal state.

OOC: Well they may not be saints but I've personally never seen AMF, you, Honako, Wagdog, Vetaka, or any other bigger nations turn a noob into their vassal state.

OOC: Well they may not be saints but I've personally never seen AMF, you, Honako, Wagdog, Vetaka, or any other bigger nations turn a noob into their vassal state.

Its because, apart from Wagdog, none of them are really that big.

What exactly counts as "big"? I had assumed that anything over 500 million was a big nation.

OOC: to me its 2.5 bill and up. I don't even have 1 bill. AMF has like 9 bill so you can see the size disparity

OOC: Oh ok. Now back to the business of our War Crimes investigation in Cazelia.

IC: With the assassination of the CPIA operative, British Londinium has drawn blood against UFAN. Does the charter apply when the foreign attack is on a covert agent?

OOC:I think we shouldn't act as of yet. Your lucky BL only killed the agent, they could've attacked your country. Just chill a bit for now, you'll have your vengence, I assure you.

Oh and on the other subject, the only land I've taken has been after a horrible war against an opressive regime.

OOC: I suppose losing one agent is getting off easy now that I think of it. I'll stay cool for now. First we've got Mer des Ennius to deal with anyway.

The Federal Republic of Hamilay wishes to join the United Federation of Allied Nations. The Vetakan Dominion is considered a friendly state in the eyes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we believe it would be prudent to cement this relationship. The need for mutual defence is ever-present, and Hamilay has been seeking an active alliance to join for some time. The Federal Republic also believes it could aid the UFAN with a reasonably substantial military commitment. The policies of the Federation regarding human rights are fully supported and practiced by Hamilay, and the Federal Republic applauds the organization's emphasis on ideals which are sadly neglected by many others today.

We hope the Republic's application is acceptable.

Best regards,

Official Kampferian Statement
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/kampferianseal.jpg

Kampfers is wholly in favor of Hamilays addition to UFAN. They have the same values as us, not to mention the significant contribtution they could make to our meager forces. As for Central Prestonia, I would not press your luck with British Londinium. They are a ruthless nation, and will not take kindly to a persistnt small nation such as yourself. While UFAN would aid you should the situation become overly hostile, many of the key UFAN members armed forces are currently tied up in the Vetakan situation. In addition, Kampfers should be able to make its long overdue contribution to the UFAN reaction force once the Vetakan situation is resolved. We were so small at UFAN's founding that donating forces would have severely hurt our chances for survival as a nation with imperialists such as British Londinium on the prowl. However, once things are back to the status quo in the core alliance, Kampfers will gladly donate some of it's forces to UFAN.

Fuhrer Richtoff

The nation of Zackaroth wishes to join the proud allies of the UFAN. Ever since the break up of the DC Zackaroth has found itself alone and unaided in a very hostile world. We have been allied with some of the other UFAN members in the past and I also support the standards of human rights the UFAN has laid down. If we are allowed to join we will be able to help in any conflict that UFAN has found itself in since we are not tied up in any wars or etc. I hope the nation of Zackaroth is allowed to join so we can help be apart of this proud alliance of nations.


Aimless von Strangaild, High leader of Zackaroth.

Rest assured Kampfers, we have no intentions of provoking the Londinians any further. We can wait until UFAN decides to address the Londinian threat and perhaps give them time to redeem themselves. With regard to UFAN forces, our military has experienced a surge of enlistments, with the figure now standing at approx. 460,000 total troops. As such, we have created a UFAN Rapid Response Force of about 30,000 heavy infantry who will be attached to UFAN to respond to crises relating to alliance members. Also, Hamilay and Zakaroth, I vote yes on both of your applications. Note however that you are required to sign the Theeb Accords if you haven't already.

Official USSW Endorsement of the Federal Republic of Hamilay and the Republic of Zackaroth for UFAN Membership
We are most pleased that your prestigious nations have chosen to join the Federation, and wholeheartedly endorse you both. Minister Fletcher, I personally and my nation publically regret that we could not aid your loyalist forces during your civil war against the imperialist pretenders. We even had a statement of support drafted, but it was rapidly rendered obsolete by events both in your fight and our own against New Nicksyllvania at the time. Now, however, you shall not lack for our aid but that it be engaged itself already; and even then consideration at least shall always be given, whatever the situation. Please, do take what time you need to assess your abilities to contribute in all forms to this great alliance; pending slight further approval, your membership will be assured.

High Leader Strangaild, permit me now to repent as I may of whatever offense I may have given you when my nation left the Dominion Commonwealth as we did. We intended not at all its destruction, although we see our part in it all the same; and intend never again to embark on such foolish policies as we did during the events leading up to that black day. By offering you my personal endorsement for membership, as well as that of my government, I hope that I may repay the lost brotherhood in some small fashion. In any case, do take what time you need to determine what you can contribute to the Federation; we seek not to impose. Pending a few more endorsements, which I'm sure will come, your nation will be a new and most valued member of UFAN.

OOC: Fairly-enough, although half of them are reservists from one-to-five years back; so obviously not on par with the 1-1.5% regular force I maintain in peacetime. The shortest-recall personnel are in the active formations, while Guard units can be from two to five years back depending on the specific individual recalled and their specialty. These guys fight in Wagdian territory only, obviously; since mine is a very 'forward leaning' force even in peacetime.

That 30-odd mil is a comfortable 3% of my population, which IIRC is just at where your economy can sustain without undue disruption like what occurs @ 5% or larger/insane percentages (such as those RL North Korea or many NS n00bs claim). Remember that I've been under general mobilization ever since The Fighting Stars tried to nuke Vetaka, and remained at such for the sake of the Generia preparations against possible war with the Doomani. Hence, my larger-than-normal forces overall.

OOC: It's much the same with me. The size of my army has balloned of late as I was going to be in the QC vs ATO war, and I am yet to demobilize.

OOC: Two things about the RP:

No 1: I have a 30,000,000 man military; 1% ish of my population; almost 20,000,000 of that is Army (i'm at work, can't give exact figures). I RP my army as being very, very, very well equipped and trained. I have no reservists, and my guard units are rotated on and off foreign duty (i.e. to sharpen up and to avoid espirit de corps overriding loyalty to the nation). I equip them very well, as Vetaka will likely agree, to the limits of very near PMT (i.e. STF-treated kevlar, network-centric, etc. etc.)

That being said, I am not launching the first blow here; Vetaka knows that, which is why I'm guessing he wants to get a hold of me. Feel free to TG me with any questions or concerns.

Toodles

OOC: Just to nitpick, I'm not sure how plausible that is. I have a 30 million man military as well, and I RP them as being well trained, disciplined and professional, but not as much so. The US military spends 550bn on defence for 1.4 million troops ~ 390000 per soldier. Your budget is only one percent of your government spending, I don't use sunset much and it's a bit off but I can't get onto NSDossier- according to said sunset your budget is 61 billion, not very big. I don't think you can equip 30 million troops with kevlar and assault rifles for that, let alone up to near-PMT.

OOC: Essentially, my military was 5 million people, around .8% of my population. I kept them very well equipped. Now its 15 million people, which is just over 2%. I sent my "old" military, the highly equipped, highly trained one, and kept my less trained, less equipped army at home. That is because I don't expect to be attacked on the homefront, plus 10 million people is still going to be tough, even if they are less trained and equipped.

Hamilay; I'm a military Junta. For reasons beyond my comprehension, two issues made my nation's budget drop from around 40% income tax to, literally over night, 0. Since I didn't eliminate my military overnight for obvious reasons, I have to RP it differently. I extrapolated your figures out to be around 11 trillion; I had my military budgeted at about 16 trillion+ or - before this sudden tax drop. So no, I fund my military in other ways (i.e. sales tax, sale of bonds and t-bills/notes, etc.)

Official UFAN Notice Re: Mhoudian Insurgency
Although we ourselves haven't uncovered evidence of Nicksyllvanian involvement in the attacks in Mhoudia and Jayiria, we are aware of what is going on and readying our own forces still present in the region as per the Moxim Road Declaration; readying to support the Zansk forces in maintaining their sovereign rights to territorial integrity. Our own dire potential situation against Mer des Ennuis in support of Vetaka puts in question how much more than the present force, namely USSW Seventh Army and Seventh Air Force combined under Severnth Army Group HQ in Zaynah, we can commit safely.

Hence we believe it should be asked of the other Federation members, especially those perhaps not capable of adequate contribution against any Ennusian aggression, what they might be able to send to Mhoudia in maintaining the peace and deterring Nicksyllvanian aggression. All contributions will be most appreciated; for now, our specified forces in-theater are preparing to deploy as soon as the Zansk forces require.

We still have a small contingent of forces in Zanski but I think the Zansk forces are going to have to lead the defense themselves as most of us are currently tied up in the Mers de Ennuis situation. Currently there is one Army mechanized division in Zanski, numbering around 20,000 men.

OOC: Can someone please explain again to me whats going on? I'm still confused as hell.

The Green Hawk Air Force can offer several squadrons to aid it's Zanski ally. My Air Force General tells me that it will take time to get exact numbers and that he wishs to monitor the situation before entering any engagement though. Unfortunately Green Hawk's Army and it's Navy are in a stat of peacetime. Thus it will take a long time for them to report to duty, train once again for combat, rearm and then finally mobilize for combat. Sorry that Green Hawk can not pledge more, but several large fires in farms have caused a small depression in some parts of Green Hawk. It has been a rough time lately, but Green Hawk is still proud to stand by it's allies in time of need. Thank you.

From: CPIA

For many years, British Londinium has engaged in a string of rape, murder, and torture the likes of which have never been seen before. We have sat idly by and watched it happen, thinking that the Londinians may find their humanity. Instead, they only become more sinister. The occupation of Cazelia has brought out the worst in both sides, but the latest incident is far beyond what has become the norm in the region. CPIA satellites and reconnaissance planes have spotted what appear to be concentration camps in Cazelia. We also have reports from World Soviet Party newspapers of executions taking place by means of a large blender. These are the worst of human rights violations to date. We implore the UFAN to take immediate and decisive action against British Londinium and end this slaughter once and for all. We present to the council the following evidence:

From: Central Prestonian Gov't.

We had thought that with the pullout of British Londinium from Cazelia that the reign of terror had ended. However, it now appears we were sadly mistaken. We have evidence in the form of a videotape that British Londinium has paid the notorious terror group Angelic Freedom to carry out an attack on our ally ViZion as well as our nation. The attack on Central Prestonia has yet to occur, but the fact remains that the longer we let the Londinian regime sit on its laurels, the more brutal it becomes. The use of terrorism is totally unacceptable, and indicative of the brutality and lack of conscience possessed by the regime in Kensington. I believe that we have given British Londinium far too many chances to redeem itself. The time for peace has ended. We implore UFAN to take military action against British Londinium to ensure that these horrible acts cannot be repeated. The world must be made safe for peace and freedom, and this disgraceful excuse for a nation must be destroyed.

Official USSW Statement
Although ordinarily we would be the first to rush to the colors upon news like this, we must urge the utmost caution from our allies in this matter. We should all prepare for what might occur in regard to this, but at this time we personally do not believe that the word of a terrorist is sufficient evidence to implicate British Londinium. However, it must be said that we do believe that the regime of Consul Davidson in Kensington is indeed wicked enough to stoop so low as it seems to have, even if the character of ViZion's retaliation seems to have more to do with their historic relationship to the terrorists than to Kensington.

For now, Wagdog's opinion is that the Federation should be prepared to aid in the territorial defense of any fellow members who may come under threat of attack because of involvement ViZion's hastily-waged war for their own reasons. We are not an offensive alliance by design, although we may take unified action of such character as Central Prestonia has proposed when it is required and can be at all justified; but our members have their sovereignty and may undertake their own efforts so long as they do not engender a Prime Directive violation. All the same, military neutrality in this matter for as long as possible is strenuously recommended by me and my government; even if morally we remain committed to seeing British Londinium pay for its abhorrent and irresponsible actions.

We respect the position of the Wagdian government, and after further review we concur that at this time a state of "heightened neutrality" is the best course of action. We will continue investigation into this matter, and any new evidence found will be presented to the council for review.

On another matter, we request that funds from the UFAN Aid & Disaster Fund be used towards the rebuilding of Cazelia. Our government currently has 15,000 peacekeepers from its UFAN Rapid Response Team on the ground in Caz'e City providing humanitarian aid, but we feel that this operation could be expanded if funds from the Aid & Disaster Fund were allocated to the area.

It is believed it will take about six years in total for the entire Green Hawk military to switch to these new systems. This will save Green Hawk more money while actually improving Green Hawk's military effectiveness. Hope this does not hinder any plans UFAN has. Thank you. Click here to learn of weapon systems.

OOC: Green Hawk will be using most (not all) of those weapons and there are others, but they are not listed. What do you think? :D

To: UFAN
From: Department of Defense

We are also looking at upgrading our armed forces, particularly our individual soldiers. We have began to implement the Future Force Warrior program within the Army and Marines, and expect to be finished within two years. Although we know and respect the position of UFAN on standardization, we ask all member-states to review this program, as our experiences have been wholly positive thus far.

OOC: Fair timing actually, since this issue got dropped before discussion due to the last BL problem and could stand a solution...
The Federation is indeed pleased that you're taking your armed forces this seriously, and expects that these programs will ensure your needs. We'll look them over, and ourselves stockpile the appropriate supplies as per what would better be termed an 'accommodation' rather than standardization policy. That is, we all agree to supply the logistical needs of all members by maintaining stocks of said equipment even if it is perhaps not used by a specific supplying nation's forces, as Vetakan Foreign Secretary Perry Cox has suggested (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12862944). Is this agreeable to the rest of the alliance as a potential policy?

This is agreeable to the Republic of Central Prestonia

The Armed Republic of Southern Odinia humbly requests membership in the UFAN.

Southern Odinia, please read and sign the Theeb Accords, and state your reasons for wanting to join.

OOC: Theeb Accords thread is on the front page, and even though I know you OOCly, the guys are still gonna want to know what you're about.

The Zansk army is in a crisis, as it is not well equipped to fight the HLFISA guerillas that threaten to attack our land. However, we may be able to send around 300,000 pewter-shelled missiles towards HLFISA bases around Kahnag and Korsah, but not as far as Mhoud. I fear that the tribes of the former Northern Mhoudia Tribal Alliance may revolt and possibly try and clear out UFAN bases, ect.

We are also concerned, that should HLFISA invade Zaynah, many Zaynites will die, so we are preparing to strike a deal with them to expell them instead.

Can I suggest a UFAN resolution not to recognise Al-Majid's government?

We would be open to a suggestion not to recognize Al-Majids usurper regime, and support it strongly for our part. Our own nation's Seventh Army Group is presently engaging the enemy, in contact with Vetakan Scouts and several other allied forces; we all requiring only what support you are capable of to begin taking back control of the areas affected.

We would much prefer that no deal to deprive the Zaynites of their home be struck; it goes against what we all sacrificed in the prior war to attain, and I am confident that your people can beat back this rebellion once roused to arms. It would also, more narrowly, go against the nonrecognition policy of the HLFISA puppet state so proposed. While the subversive infrastructure is being undermined, Zansk forces move simply to occupy those towns cleared by allies once said task is complete and the rebels forced to flee for lack of intelligence and supplies. We only require their presence in such an operation, not major combat for which they indeed are not as yet suited. Other opinions?

I fully agree with Wagdog and suggest that Zansk does it's best in this fight, but remember not to strain their forces. If a man wants an apple from a tall tree, but has short arms. Then that man gets a friend with longer arms. Zansk, you have allies who stand by you. Do what you can and leave the rest to us. We are here to help.

Also, Green Hawk has yet to receive an answer to it's question. Can Green Hawk send a small fleet to provide air support, navel support and logistic support for fighting allied forces. What say our friends and allies?

Green Hawk may send whatever forces it desires; in general, any aid given will be welcomed if the donor nation feels their forces can sustain it. So long as other alliance commitments aren't jeopardized, feel free to deploy whatever is felt needed to Mhoudia on an initiative basis.

We thank our ally Wagdog for preventing a would-be mistake of negotiating with a state we do not recognise. But how should we save the Zaynites?

So far, Zaynah remains our base of operations in the area. Although not invincible-as-such, it would be a very tall order to assault indeed; despite the indirect artillery fire which has harrassed the area so far. We shall respond to this assault promptly, and are preparing to even now. Hence, Zaynah remains protected; although we will recommend that our allied contingents concentrate on securing Zaynah while our forces and the Vetakan units move out to deal with Mhoudia proper, which arrangements being underway even now.

OOC: IDK what Mhoudia's time/schedule is, much less NN's, but I'd prefer my next OOC in there wait a bit so as not to spam that thread. I should get something in hours from now after work, but anyone else in there or needing to get in there should go right ahead and do their thing since I'm RPing my forces as being a bit behind the 8-ball anyway (:headbang:!). I'll be off from a few minutes from now until then, so go ahead within reason (erring on the 'going ahead' side for ease of play's sake).

we wish we could secure Zaynah ourselves but our country is still sore at the Zaynites for rebelling against one of our puppet states, non officially. It would be risky sending in armed soldiers in there, they are known for acting beyond orders.

Official Kampferian Statement
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/kampferianseal.jpg

Kampfers will abstain from voting upon their entrance. One of our allies is allied to them via the Medditeranean Union, and they have signed the Theeb Accords, however some of their acts in the past have gone straight against what UFAN stands for. Should they pledge to never commit these acts again, we will put our support behind them. I propose we place them as a member, albeit a probationla member. Should they revert to their previous ways, this will allow for an easier boot from the alliance than that if they were a full member.

Fuhrer Richtoff

Official Prestonian Statement

The government of Central Prestonia abstains on the vote for British Londinium's entry into UFAN. We feel that if the Londinians wish to join The Federation, a show of good faith is required. Also, although other members may have differing opinions on the matter, we ask that the Londinian government cease it's expansionism in it's colony in Lord Sumguy. If the government of British Londinium can prove that it has changed, we will be more than happy to accept them with open arms.

Yours,
President Aaron H. Preston

Official Statement by the Honakon Social Republic

We rarely speak out in the politics of this alliance, though will address the admittance of The People's Sovereign Republic. We know little of their past however, other than the attacks on Lord Sumguy which I must admit I can't say I minded, so will also follow the Kampferians lead when we abstain.

We vote yes on The Armed Republic of Southern Odinia application to join the UFAN.

High Commissioner of the Social Republic of Honakon

Diplomatic Message From The United Federation of Allied Nations General Headquarters:

To: Southern Odinia Foreign Secretary
From: UFAN High Council

Subject: Southern Odinia Acceptance

It is with great pleasure that I am able to inform you that you have been in accepted into The United Federation of Allied Nations. Whilst it is not mandatory would it be possible to get a brief overview of your current Military Status? This information allows UFAN to best cater to your needs.

Thank You

UFAN High Council

Diplomatic Message From The United Federation of Allied Nations General Headquarters:

To: The Rt. Hon. Sir Alistair Davidson, MP Consul of British Londinium
From: UFAN High Council

After much consultation amongst UFAN's Councils it has been decided that British Londinium must embark upon a UFAN Membership Action Plan before it is able to join UFAN this action includes 3 points. All 3 points must be met before UFAN Membership is granted:

Point 1:

British Londinium will cease Colony Expansion Operations within all of its Colonies. British Londinium need not return the lands to their former holders but full Democracy must be in operation.

Point 2:

British Londinium will renounce the use of Huge Kitchen Appliances as a means of execution and never use them again. All subsequent Devices will be dismantled.

Yours UFAN High Council

OOC: Welcome back, Vetaka. Everything work out all right?

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/Flaw3dLegacy/HamilayBlueNormal.gif

The Federal Republic of Hamilay also wishes to abstain from voting on British Londinium's entrance into the UFAN, again due to the recent changes there and a lack of current knowledge of the Londinian political situation. However, we do wish to disclose to our fellow members the serious reservations we hold about the admittance of the PSR, as British Londinium has been classified by the Hamilayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an 'unfriendly' state with an 'unsatisfactory' human rights record for quite some time, specifically, since before the recent outcry over their activities in Cazelia. We recommend that a Londinian Action Plan as a requirement of entry involves a more specific requirement involving some evidence of a more... internationally presentable... government in terms of human rights in general.

Official Communiqué

To UFAN High Council:

As per your requests, the People's Sovereign Republic does relinquish the utilization of large kitchen appliances as means of execution, and will permit international inspections of all of our colonies. But - what is the third point?

The Armed Republic of Southern Odinia is very very glad to be part of this wonderful alliance. We have a large Military do to compulsory service regulations. We have regulations requiring service from the ages of 18-64 for 3 months every year in the model of Switzerland.....our army is 94,870,000 men strong. 71,152,500 being in the noncombatant support role and 23,717,500 being in active combat roles. Every 3 months (except in times of war) we rotate out 17,788,125 support and 5,929,375 active combat soldiers. Every Soldier (with the exception of Conscientious Objectors who still serve but in noncombatant role and make up 53% of that particular group) is trained to fight in the standard of the FFL. In times of dire crises we can field our entire military force. We can contribute 200,000 combat and and 700,000 support soldiers to the rapid response force.

The Armed Republic of Southern Odinia official communique


Because of the aggressive nature that the Londinian military has displayed against numerous countries of the world I find that they do not represent the peaceful ambitions of UFAN therefore I vote against allowing him to enter.

Dr. Mockelfish Byrillabyrd PFL of the Armed Republic of Southern Odinia

OOC: Details on the BL Issue:

4 Votes Abstained on BL Membership
1 Against BL Membership
0 In favour of BL Membership

Can everybody make their position known? BL I apologise but your membership is somewhat controversial

With The Londinian Government's most recent show of imperialism in The Far Echo Islands, as well as their continued support of Urcea, a nation which continues to subjugate the Order of America, The Prestonian Government votes in favor of rejecting British Londinium.

OOC: What's the official UFAN position on NATO? It's something I've wanted to know for awhile.

Because of BLs continued imperialistic actions even when they have claim to have given thme up and because of a general dislike of the nation in general, we vote against allowing thme in the UFAN.

OOC: Central Prestonia, NATO is viewed with respectful neutrality. UFAN respects NATO and we hope they respect us. Whilst it is unlikely that NATO would ever request our help if that ever request was made I am sure UFAN would grant it without question.

Official Kampferian Statement
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/imdmill/kampferianseal.jpg

This is Kampfers' final statement on the issue and proposed UFAN plan of action.

UFAN will commit to the following:

British Londinium will be permitted as a member, but will be on probation until they demonstrate that they can handle themselves on an international stage.

British Londinium will commit to the following:

British Londinium will denounce the use of any method for cruel torture and/or execution.

British Londinium will cease colonial expansions and will refrain from attacking young nations to gain colonies. Only wars of defense and wars to uphold human rights will be permitted.

UFAN investigators will be allowed to watch over British Londiniums Colonies, making sure that the Cazelia incident is not repeated.

If this plan is accepted by both parties, we vote yes to British Londiniums acceptance into UFAN. However, as they say, "you cant teach an old dog new tricks," and should British Londinium revert to their old ways, they will be immedeatly kicked from UFAN.

Fuhrer Richtoff

OOC: I ask because long before I joined UFAN I requested to join NATO. They approved me after you guys did and now they're trying to wrangle me into their war despite the conflict of interests that would come with fighting UFAN allies (QC).

OOC: I ask because long before I joined UFAN I requested to join NATO. They approved me after you guys did and now they're trying to wrangle me into their war despite the conflict of interests that would come with fighting UFAN allies (QC).

OOC: And how would that work? You aren't in haven, so you can't help there per HDI. And they don't need much help in Gholgoth right now. So unless a NATO member outside of Haven or Gholgoth needs help, you don't need to do anything.

Also, you have been joining a lot of alliances lately. UFAN, NPE, NATO, Westwood. It is good to keep it down to a core group of 1 or 2 that won't be fighting each other, like Westwood and NATO might do.

OOC: Westwood is more informal, I've decided against NPE for the reasons of keeping it small, and I'm still up in the air about staying in NATO or not. and Scandinavian States has been TGing me telling me that I pretty much have to fight for NATO if I want to stay in.

EDIT: Problem solved, I withdrew form NATO. SO now for the record, my alliances are UFAN, Westwood, and GUSN (even though for all intents and purposes GUSN is dead)

The People's Sovereign Republic accepts the terms laid out by Kampfers.

I am wondering if I should stay in the NPE and withdraw from the UFAN, would I have conflicting interests if I stay in the NPE and the UFAN?

OOC: Kampfers is in both, he doesn't have much problem.

IC:

To: All UFAN Member-States
From: Pres. Aaron H. Preston

My allies, I would like to call your attention to a grave situation. As you may or may not be aware, the government of Tartarystan has imprisoned several persons practicing the "yiff" fetish, known collectively as "furries". This imprisonment, a clear violation of human rights, prompted action on our part. However, when sizing up our enemy, common sense dictated that should we attack, it would be in vain due to the large enemy force. Therefore, we elected to pull ourselves from the conflict. For this, Steel and Fire, an ally of the Tartars, called us cowards and threatened invasion. We cannot wait for such a threat to come to fruition. I am proposing war with both Steel and Fire, for threatening Prestonian sovereignty, and Tartarystan, for the gross human rights violations mentioned. I know war is not a measure to be taken lightly, but to protect our fellow man as well as our own independence, we need backup.

I am wondering if I should stay in the NPE and withdraw from the UFAN, would I have conflicting interests if I stay in the NPE and the UFAN?

As long as Im in the NPE, you are probably fine.

OOC: CP if we go to war it will require an immense military force and not a huge chance of victory. The most we probably can do is build up the defenses around your nation like we did in Vetaka.

OOC: Ah, I guess I overestimated the strength of UFAN. S&F told me OOCly he was probably not going to invade, but since ICly I still think invasion is possible, a protection force would be nice.

OOC: Ah, I guess I overestimated the strength of UFAN. S&F told me OOCly he was probably not going to invade, but since ICly I still think invasion is possible, a protection force would be nice.

OOC: stop being such a warmonger CP :p. Anyways, if you are invaded, I'll be there, if not, all my forces are tied up with the CA

OOC: Yeah, I have been warmongering a bit much. I want a war RP where I actually have a chance, but I'll turn it down a notch. How goes the war w/ CA?
