A new nation is born

Fourth Internationale
07-05-2007, 16:43
We the People's Republic of Fourth Internationale would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to the rest of the international community. We are but an island nation off of the coast of mainland Romulii. Our people have fled the facist Romulii government oppression and we have secured this island home as our own country with the intentions of promoting equality in all humans, as well as peace...unlike our warmongering neighbors.

We are still a new nation and while we hope to be a key player in the future, for now we are still trying to establish ourselves and ask for patience as well as assistance. But we feel that all men are brothers and our doors are open to anyone. Who stands with us?

The High Chancellor's remote broke as it bounced off of the TV screen. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" he screamed as he stormed to the situation room. Bursting through the doors, the generals were already assembled. "WHO THE HELL DO THESE LITTLE UPSTARTS THINK THEY ARE!? I want this...this UPRISING put down IMMEDIATELY!"

"Sir, if we put our military on full alert now we can have troops on the ground there in a matter of days. Working around the clock to ready equipment, I would call it four tops." Chairman General Ackroyd stated as he looked over various plans. "Surely they cannot muster too tremendous of an defense. Their so called government still isn't fully formed yet, and I don't see how any respectable nation would side with such trouble makers."

The Chancellor sat down. "Make it so. I want to make an example of these upstarts."

From the desk of the honourable Alexander Doona, Foreign Minister, The Googleistic Democracy of Googlewoop


On behalf of the Congressional Parliament and people of Googlewoop, I congratulate you on your recently gained independence and welcome you to the international community of nations.

I invite you to communicate with our foreign ministry whenever you feel necessary. After a quick review of your government and policies I can see no reason why our nation should not share some of our success with you both financially and through advice.

As one of the most established nations in the world we too strive to achieve a goal of peace and equality. However we have also learnt from experience that military force is sometimes unavoidably forced on a nation by extremist powers such as the government of your parent nation.

I therefore also offer an invitation to open dialogue with our defence ministry and our defence minister, the Honourable Donald Ducksfelt. It has been a tradition of our nation to protect and uphold the rights and beliefs of weaker nations and I assure you should you ever request our assistance in matters of a defensive nature it will be rendered appropriately.

I look forward to meeting you in the future.

An ornate handwritten missive arrives at the office of the People's Republic's foreign secretary or equivalent. The paper is particularly expensive and old-fashioned fine cream laid; the only emblem marking its origin is the thirteen stars of the Naestorian flag, hand-drawn as well in royal blue ink, above the message heading. The seal at the bottom, by contrast, has been stamped on; but stamped so carefully that it appears drawn as well. The handwriting is right-slanted, large, and flawless; the man writing it looks to have been in perfect control of himself.

Official Diplomatic Communiqué
Office of the Academy, Foreign Affairs Department, Zion
The Republic of Naestoria
April 3, 2026

Dear Sir(s)/Madam(s):

Congratulations on your nation's recent independence from oppression and violence. Naestoria is continually interested in bettering peaceful relations with the international community, especially following our own rather violent past which was unfortunately necessary to secure our own independence. To that end, we formally recognise the legitimacy of the government of the People's Republic; and we would be interested in commencing diplomatic talks with that government. If you have no objections, we wish to send a diplomatic envoy to the capital or seat of government of the Fourth Internationale; otherwise, we wish you a long and prosperous existence unmarred by the warfare and destruction so unfortunately omnipresent in international politics these days.

"So what do we know about these.... Romulii?"

"They could be troublesome. They are almost ten times our size and could undoubtedly muster a far greater military force, although whether that would translate into a higher-quality military force is a different matter."

"Quite," the first speaker mused. He was Grand Prior Lucretius Zariel; he had fought at New Edom and in Jericho, and had been one of Naestoria's most respected military commanders. Now that he had ascended to the Second Council, he had planned to keep military numbers constant; with over three million already employed therein, Naestoria's workforce was depleted enough that military numbers could ill be increased without serious economic consequences.

Nonetheless, given that the Zionic military was under direct control of the Priory and the Priory was the largest Office in the nation—beating out the Academy by over fifty billion a year—it continued to receive a large, probably excessive, amount of funding. It had not been put to use in some time, and was not on high alert; it could be two weeks before any significant number of troops would be mobilised, albeit less for a homeland threat.

"Go on," Zariel said.

"They are a unitary Empire, apparently a hereditary dictatorship. Very little about the Romulii has emerged to the outside world; apparently a province named New Reman broke away, perhaps ten or eleven years ago', but a peace was negotiated and the two nations ultimately formed an alliance."

"Could a similar event occur in this case, as well?"

"It's possible that the Fourth Internationale will choose to accept protectorate status of the Romulii. On the other hand, it may decide upon total independence. Either way, it's likely we'll see a Romulii military buildup, and potential war."

"And their claims of fascism and oppression?"

"Unverifiable at present time, but probably true. If they weren't the Romulii government would be jumping to prove the accusations wrong, and they haven't even made a statement to the international community about this yet."

"I could have guessed," Zariel said drily. "Order a Stage One-equivalent mobilisation. Knights only. Prepare for potential infiltration, just in case.... and keep it quiet enough that it looks like ordinary civilian traffic. We may want a few Fists and Behemoths as well."

"I'll be right on it."

As the lesser Prior disappeared, Zariel stared pensively at his reflection in the great blank viewscreen that occupied part of one wall of his office; then he opened a direct line to the Academy. In the Second Council, co-operation was key.

Dear Romulii,

Surely you cant use military action against such a tiny nation? Even though my military force is alot smaller than yours, And my poplation is on 407 million, Im still mobilising troops because conflict against such a tiny nation would be a crime.


From King Daniel II of Danno10 and the Gekny Isles
Romulii
07-05-2007, 18:20
OOC: Romulii, New Reman, and Fourth Internationale are the same player, yes. I created three separate countries in order to play out three separate ideologies. One facist, one Socialist, and one more closely to my own views. Fourth Internationale was created for this soul purpose, just to see where it goes. If they win independance, then I'll keep 'em...if not, then I won't.

IC Public Statement:

The High Chancellor wishes it known that Romulii has graciously accepted the offer made by The Children of the Morning Star. He wishes it to further be known that actions may be taken against any nation that formally recognizes the supposed government of these rebels and/or their independance from the Fatherland. This is an internal matter and we cannot urge strongly enough against the meddling from outside influences.

Official International Response, Gatawan Foreign Affairs Ministry

The Empire calls for a meeting between the Romulii and Fourth Internationale governments in order to devise a peaceful solution before conflict erupts. Emperor Nadov III has alerted the nearest Gatawan Imperial Fleet to high emergency rescue status and is underway preparing to conduct medical and other life saving operations should conflict begin. The lives of the civilans must be protected at all costs and this matter must be handled in a non-agressive respectful manner.

The Dept. of International Affairs, New Reman:

The nation of New Reman is stunned to learn of Romulii's actions. We have long ago haulted any relations with the country once their new Chancellor took control and drove the country into an isolated state. It would seem now that this was a mistake as that time appears to have been spent in ways that we cannot condone in terms of treatment for their people and the excessive buildup of their military. From what we are learning, it is no wonder the people of Fourth Internationale wishes to declare independance. To those brave people, we offer our unconditional military support.

[The War Room, Congressional Parliament Building, Googleopolis, Googlewoop]

Donald Ducksfelt sat pensively at the black marble table. The bright white and orange reflection of the Googlewooper Defence Force emblem on the large projection screen wobbled ever so slightly in front of him. It was nearly completely dark. It had been a very long time since he had sat in this room.

The twin doors at the far end of the table opened illuminating the war room with the light from the corridor outside. Nine men strode into the room, the remaining members of the cabinet. Alexander Doona the Foreign Minister and Jon Hay the Prime Minister and President were last to take their seats, passing through the doors talking hurriedly. The doors shut and the only light was again the illumination of small desk lights.

The recording clerk gave one tap of his gavel.
“This sitting is now in session. The floor is given to the Honourable Alexander Doona, Minister for foreign affairs.”

The minister stood slowly.
“Earlier this morning we received a communiqué from the leaders of the newly independent nation of The Fourth Internationale. It is believed that they represent a small populous that have recently obtained independence, through an unknown means, from the nation of Romulii believed to be an extreme left governed state. Financial and logistical aide was accordingly offered on behalf of this cabinet and by several other governments. Unfortunately the situation has grown increasingly complex and volatile. For elaboration, the floor is given to the Honourable Donald Ducksfelt, Minister for Defence and the Honourable TeaAndCoffee Anan, Minister for U.N. Observation and Affairs.

Anan stood, speaking in his distinctly Northern Googlewooper Accent.
“Good afternoon gentlemen. Shortly after said pledged of support were announced, it was noted by the international community that an extremely small and impoverished nation had blatantly professed support for the military forces of Romulii in its local circles. This information was passed to me by a U.N. correspondent. I can comfortable say that this sort of activity by an extremely minor nation is unusual. Many members of the international community consider this incident of great significance. For more information I hand the floor to Mr. Ducksfelt.

Donald Ducksfelt stared at the papers in front of him one last time and pushed his chair back.
“It is most likely that this announcement by the nation of Morgenstern is an indication of a planned attack on The Fourth Internationale by Romulii, an organisation of nations allied or associated with Romulii or both. The manner in which Morgensternian officials pledged their support to Romulii is both typical of an undeveloped military command and indicative of previous planning of military force against The Fourth Internationale. I recently received reports from our intelligence network that satellite images of Romulii captured to investigate the allegations of the Fourth Internationale definitely show EXTREMELY rapid mobilisation of military force within Romulii.”
Ducksfelt paused, bringing his hand to readjust his glasses. His tone became more matter-of-fact.
“Gentlemen, you all know that it has been a very long time since this government has engaged in military conflict. But you also know that The Fourth Internationale will almost certainly ask for our help if any attempt at reclaimation is made by Romulii or its allies. I might add that they have every right to expect our involvement given our history of support of smaller, peaceful nations against extreme governments. Quite frankly, we need to make a decision now regarding our involvement in this situation. I recommend preparation of quite a significant Division to be used as an initial rapid response force should hostilities break out.”

Jon Hay, the Prime Minister and President spoke from his chair at the end of the table.
“I believe that you all realise we have an obligation to the nation of The Fourth Internationale. If we offer support to new nations we can not pick and choose which nations to support based on our own interests. I move that a motion be passed to offer full military support to the Fourth Internationale should they require it and that the recommendations of the Minister be followed. The floor is open to debate and vote.”

Some hours after the sitting of the Cabinet began, one of the pair of young guards in ceremonial dress feel the doors of the War Room open behind them. The clerk is carrying a document of passed motion, signed by the president. Googlewoop will go to war if The Fourth Internationale is attacked.

Public Statement:

The High Chancellor wishes it known that the only resolution acceptable is to bring these rebels to justice and reunite Romulii into one proud nation. We will NOT negotiate with rebels and are prepared to use full military force to assure compliance if they do not back down immediately. As we speak, our ground and sea forces are mobilizing to send troops to retake Sutland Island from these upstarts. Again we urge all outside nations to mind their own affairs or risk reprocussions.

I personally urge you not to be threatened by the size of the nation of Romulii. Do not be stopped from offering your support to the cause of The Fourth Intenationale out of fear of retribution. There are powerful nations such as mine on your side. Even logistical support from your nation would be most welcome. Hospital and supply shipping will be of most importance if open conflict breaks out. This is but one area were your nation could prove of invaluable assistance.

You are warned by this body not to initiate military conflict with the aim of retaking the sovereignty of the newly independent nation of The Fourth Internationale.

The military forces of the great and ancient nation of Googlewoop will be used to counter such an attempt should you unwisely choose to proceed.

Consider this your only warning. Unless you back down the next communication you receive from this office will be a declaration of intention to pursue war against you until the Nation of The Fourth Internationale is secured as an independent government.

That is our mandate. Whether it is realised peacefully or at the tip of a sword is up to you.

Rena Broadcasting Corporation News Report

News of the escalating tensions involving Romulii, New Reman, and the break away nation of Fourth Internationale, Whos leaders claim under Romulii rule they are oppressed and mistreated..Earlier reports that Emperor Nadov ordered the 5th Imperial Fleet towards the area to conduct humanitarian aid operations have been confirmed...Nadov was then quoted as saying

"Our great Empire will not be bullied about by the likes of these Romulii oppressors. The Romulii unwillingness to sit and talk is another example of their narrowminded warmongering ways..and it is my interest and the interest of the Imperial Council to ensure that the innocent civilan lives are saved and protected, I again call for a meeting to peacfully resolve the matter."

Nadov also had a response to those wondering if there would be any military action taken as many experts and other officials have deemed this nearly impossible as the military is already involved in conflict inside Hamilay...Nadov's response reflected these views..

"At this time the Empire can not and will not become militarily involved with the exception of the previously stated mission to aid Fourth Internationale civilans in any way possible..and those forces will not be involved in any combat situations unless provoked into them.."

Nadov then left the Imperial Council Hall in the capital and was last reported to be returning to his summer palace in Kafita to hold an private council meeting with the council of ministers

Diplomatic Note to Googlewoop From Droskianishk Department of International Affairs


Droskianishk urges your nation to reconsider such hostile threats to a sovereign and legitimate government. The so called 'Fourth Internationale' is new and has made no show of good faith to even administer to their people, for all intents and purposes they could be a terrorist organization intent on unacceptable anarchy and chaos. We urge you to support the legitimate government of Romulii or at very least remaining neutral.

The Nation of Googlewoop has made no threat or declaration without specifically stating that it will not enter military conflict unless it is forced to do so by the activity of Romulii.

Droskianishk: While we appreciate your offer of an explanation, it is the view of this government that The Fourth Internationale is a people of high moral, ethical and political standing compared to the unfavourable views of the Fascist Government of Romulii. We therefore see no reason why The Fourth Internationale should not be allowed independence.

Your government is assured that while you are supplying the enemy with munitions, no military action will be taken against you while you do not commit actual forces to the conflict. Your support is however viewed in a dim light by this body.

Atopiana: We suggest you review this nation’s size, military history and ability and moral standing before you make petty threats against us.

Official Statement
The joint Offices of the Zionic Republic
April 5, 2026

Naestoria has little tolerance for fascism. States that trample needlessly upon the God-given rights of human beings are unworthy of having their own sovereign rights maintained; sovereignty of the individual overrides sovereignty of the government. Naestoria also has little tolerance for nations that are quick to jump to battle; such nations evidently require warfare to keep their national economies running and their citizens distracted from the squalor and oppression in which they live, and their governments are administered by madmen and sadists.

On behalf of the Councils of the Academy and Priory, the Second Council hereby issues the following orders:

[1] A travel advisory is in order against the nations of Romulii, Droskianishk, and Atopiana. Zionic citizens are strongly advised against traveling to those nations, and direct flights have been halted indefinitely.

[2] All products, goods, services, &c. originating in the aforementioned three nations are banned from Naestorian stores, and all businesses run by citizens of any of those three nations are hereby expelled (the citizens will be formally Outcast).

[3] No diplomatic contact with any of the aforementioned nations will be made for any reason, excepting a change in government in one of those nations.

At present Naestoria will not seek an active role in the conflict said nations have stirred up, nor will it vary from a course of neutrality with slight prejudice against the forces of fascism; however, we shall continue to monitor the Fourth Internationale situation closely. Attempts to destroy or incapacitate Naestorian satellites in the region will be treated as an act of war.

Joint Statement: Atopian Treasury and Ministry of Foreign Affairs

We are confused by the Naestorian statement, principally because we've had no dealings with them, didn't know they existed, and know of no Naestorian nationals within the territories administered by the Atopian Government. We therfore rebut the Naestorian claims in detail below:

[1] A travel advisory is in order against the nations of Romulii, Droskianishk, and Atopiana. Zionic citizens are strongly advised against traveling to those nations, and direct flights have been halted indefinitely.

There are no Naestorians within our territories. There have never been any flights to be halted.

[2] All products, goods, services, &c. originating in the aforementioned three nations are banned from Naestorian stores, and all businesses run by citizens of any of those three nations are hereby expelled (the citizens will be formally Outcast).

We do not trade with Naestoria, nor are any Atopians resident.

[3] No diplomatic contact with any of the aforementioned nations will be made for any reason, excepting a change in government in one of those nations.

In other words: The status quo will be maintained. Have a nice day now. Morons.

In sum: Naestorians are chronically stupid and should be pitied for their small brains.

Official Statement from the Droskianishk Department of International Affairs

A travel advisory is issued to citizens that intend to travel to or continue to stay in the nation of Romulii, while Romulii is a friend of Droskianishk, Droskianishk fears for its people in any struggle of wills. The Droskianishk government will extract any of its citizens from that nation in the unfortunate event of war at those citizens expense now that they have been warned.

The government of Droskianishk assures all nations that should a conflict break out those governments will not be the target of economic warfare in all areas (excluding those of wartime goods, firearms,bombs,etc.), and that Droskianishk troops will not become directly involved in combat. Nor will the people of nations hostile to Romulii be discriminated against except for a quick search of their person upon entering and leaving Droskianishk for wartime goods and intelligence. The government of Droskianishk would again like to take the time to extoll all nations to allow the sovereign government of Romulii to end this rebellion without interference. Having made that statement we would also appeal to Romulii to file international reports on the conditions there as well as to allow foreign ambassadors to inspect the methods by which you end the rebellion.

(Droskianishk just recently became a dictatorship and the government is uneasy about going to war since an overthrow of the dictatorship is constantly within sight, and the government is under pressure to reinstate the Senate. So while Droskianishk stands with Romulii for political reasons it is an uneasy stance and one that must be explained through the idealogy that sovereign governments must be allowed to enforce their sovereigncy.)

We would love little more than to negotiate with Romulii, but you do not understand their government as we do. Conflict is inevitable. If you do not wish to aid with military support, please aid our civilians in relocating until such time as conflict is over and it is safe for them to return. We are but a pea....*static*


Vestern States Broadcast to all nations concerned
Vestern States is deploying the 4th Battlegroup in order to aid the civilian population in the Fourth Internationale.

Our ships will enter the region under parlamentry flag. We will not open fire unless fired upon.

OOC: I prefer MT or at least not to far into the future. It gives you more reference material.

OOC: Thread's up: it's MT/PMT - I use PMT, but don't worry, high-end MT will threaten my chaps and chapesses to some extent. They're just harder to put down with riflefire, that's all. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12620687#post12620687)

This conflict has demonstrated the wolves among the sheep, and our Dossiers are filled with important information for the future of our nation.

However, intelligence gathered by our Zhystapo Secret Police has show the Romulii not as the sincere nation we the children of the Morning Star believed it to be. Therefore, as the Romulii find themselves in a conflict, we wish them out of principal to win the conflict, however, we will not support them with troops, as our men and women are the children of the Morning Star and we will NOT send them into conflict for a "Phony War".

Let it be known, that we have noted our enemies.
