Hataria ATTACKED!
Official Declaration from the Atopian Government:
Given the deteriorating diplomatic relationship with Hataria, we are left with no choice but to go to employ the military option. As this message is being read, we are launching a concerted and three-pronged military action against the following targets:
1) All Hatarian shipyards, civilian and military
2) All Hatarian military bases
3) All Hatarian airfields, civilian and military
4) All Hatarian government offices
5) All Hatarian power stations and infrastructure links such as bridges, railways and the like
We are using ICBMs to target the shipyards and military bases. For the targeting of the airfields and power stations, we are using the weapons colloquially known as 'rods from god'. The remaining targets will be hit by round-the-clock pinpoint strategic bombing.
ASRF HQ:
"How many rockets launched?"
"1000 Topol-M22H class, sir. Half with decoys, half with live heads. Totals 3,000 nuclear warheads, each 550KT, targeted on Hataria's shipyards, sir."
"Excellent."
Moonbase VICTORY, ASF HQ:
"Are we go for launch?"
"We are green for go. 1,000 rods away."
"Targets accepted?"
"Targets locked and surely well hit, sir."
"Superb."
Atopian Strategic Command:
"Report."
"All ten Strategic Armadas have launched and are away free sir."
"Total launch?"
"2,896 Tu-160s launched ... ah, 17,376 Raduga Kh-55 cruise missiles sir."
"Fantastic. Inform the Primo at once."
From Emperor Barbarossa II
Today our Nation has been attacked by The evil Nation of Atopiana, who is ruled by a Bunch of Animals that have to kill to live. 12,000,000 have been Murdered by Atopian NUCLEAR weapons and Godrods.
For this Hataria is now at War with Atopiana for it's Attack on Civilians.
Hataria calls on Aid from All nations to rebuild the areas hit by this Murder Attack and calls for all enemies of Atopiana to join in This Holy War against The Monsters.
Signed: Emperor Barbarossa II of Hataria

The Wanderjarian Fleet has nothing to say about the Hatarian response. We will not intervene in your defense any more than we already have, i.e destroying the Atopian first wave. However, from here on out your defense is up to you. However any attacks onto foreign soil will not be allowed. You may defend yourself, but you may not attack the Atopians.
~Emperor Christoph Baker of the New Prussian Empire

And we will repeat the assault until such time as Hataria disbands its military! As soon as Hataria renders itself incapable of military operations, pre-emptive defensive strikes will cease immediately.
Our military analysts are pleased to see, however, that the First Strike has successfully obliterated the Hatarian shipbuilding capacity, the military bases belonging to the Hatarian army, and eradicated Hataria's ability to launch planes. With such a successful neutering of the Hatarian military, many amongst our intelligence forces are questioning the need for a second or third strike.

Just coz' they are friggin' cool.
Ministry of State
The government does not believe that Atopiana has any justification striking against Hataria. They have not participated in any aggressive actions since their defeat and their military buildup is entirely justified and acceptable within the confines of international law. Unless your country can produce clear evidence that Hataria is doing something wrong or has attacked your nation, you are guilty of attacking Hataria without provocation.
Unjustified unilateral action is nothing more than military aggression and we will treat it accordingly. If you attack them again, we will get involved. Responsible states negotiate their grievances, not try to resolve them with aggression.

And we will repeat the assault until such time as Hataria disbands its military! As soon as Hataria renders itself incapable of military operations, pre-emptive defensive strikes will cease immediately.
A compromise which the Wanderjarian Government will sign off on, is the creation of a HSDF (Hatarian Self Defense Force). This means a military which is only capable of defending Hatarian national borders, but not capable of launching out of nation military operations, much like that of former Japan. We believe this is a better solution than the potential problems of an uttler defensless Hataria. However, should this power ever be misused, and I assure both parties that the Prussian Kriegsmarine shall remain in Hatarian waters for some time to come, that fleet shall wage a war on Hataria which they shall never forget. And do not think, Hataria, that Wanderjarians are not disinclined to use violence merely because we typically try to do decent things throughout the world.
This is our offer to both parties. What say you?
EDIT: I, Emperor Christoph Baker, shall even draw up a new section of the Hatarian Constitution which concerns military operations should it be felt necessary.

Official Communique From The Skgorrian Foreign Ministry
The Hatarian menace is at last being checked, for despite their promises to the contrary they are still warlike and preparing for war. The Pact of Iron's strike was done so with the aim of removing a major threat to international peace before it had the chance to blossom into something more deadly.
To those nations considering supporting Hataria we ask you, are you prepared to stand up for a nation whose rampant imperialism has triggered some of the largest and most destructive wars that the world has ever seen?
We demand that Hataria be removed as a threat, one way or another. Skgorria stands firmly by its ally and will support it in any and all ways possible.
We also welcome the Wanderjarian diplomatic proposal and give our full backing to peaceful negotiations.
Atopiana
08-06-2007, 17:12
Statement to Vetalia:
Diplomatic measures were tried. They were rebuffed, with our negotiators being told to "go fuck a pig"* and to "curl up and die."** As a result, the threat posed by a resurgent Hataria was one that could not be ignored. We thus launched our strike in accordance with precedent set by previous foreign government actions.
Statement to Wanderjar:
We accept your proposal, further detailing:
100,000 soldiers
10,000 naval personnel
10,000 air force personnel
An armed police force is also satisfactory. Militias and other paramilitary organisations are not. Hataria can never again be allowed to launch a war of aggression.
Statement to the World Soviet Party:
Thank you. Very much. We. Er. Excuse us...

What we propose is this: a severe limitation on the Hatarian military roughly in line with the Wanderjaran propsal and in return the Pact of Iron will join the Hatarian Confederacy. This will ensure that the Hatarians are defended whilst removing a major worry from the international scene.

As well, any further attack carried out we believe needs to be against military targets only and with the use of regular bombing runs against these military targets so as to take out their fighting ability with the loss of as little civilian life as possible. Yet, to warn if the use of nuclear attacks continues on the nation Hataria the Scandinvan Empire shall break relations with Atopiana and cut off all trade with it as well.

This is an erroneous reading of the reality.

As an independent socialist nation it is my duty to inform you, the Atopiana nation, that it is never justified to kill civilians unnecessarily. While I can understand that your country felt threatened and you may have been justified in your attack, you could have done so with precision bombing, internal sabotage and strategic assassination. There is no reason that innocent Hatarian civilians had to die in this assault. My country Sauceatia requests that we be allowed to send independent intelligence officers into the country to investigate the living conditions of the remaining civilians. If, Sauceatia finds sufficient evidence of a humanitarian crisis we will be sending non-military, civilian aid of food and medical supplies to the afflicted civilians.

Open Declaration of Intentions
While it once again pains us to even remotely agree with the Pact of Iron, indeed it must be done. A preemtptive strike appears justified, especially in light of Haratian past actions. A severe limiting of their forces seems most fair.
However, we find the blatant disregard for civillian life and liberal use of nuclear weapons to be uncalled for. The Atopian first strike could have been done through more conventional means, and indeed should have been done. We can see no reason to support the Atopian efforts currently because of their history of unrestricted nuclear use against civillians. We will, however, support any more conventional approaches to forcing th Hatarians from their imperialistic ways. If such an act occurs that forces are required in the future, we will be willing to consider it pending a more conventional, and civillian freindly, approach.
We would also like to know how this can be even remotely construed by the Hatarians as a "holy war".

Message to all Powers involved in the current Hatarian Crisis
The nation of Droskianishk is appalled at the un-reasonable use of force against Hataria. While Droskianishk is dissapointed at the threatining and violent langauge of the Hatarians at times, it is not of this governments opinion that that language merits a nuclear response! We implore Atopiana to restrain its military force and stop all current military actions against Hataria. This however is not to say that Hataria is blameless. Hatarian actions must reflect an intention of peace, by dismantling any ability to launch an offensive. Should Atopian military actions continue Droskianishk will be forced to supply Hataria with weaponry, food, and other materials both of a military and non-military nature.

Official Response to The Premptive Assault. From the Government of The E.P.D.
Ladys and Gentlmen,
I Dagny Matterson, would like too express our deepest outrage and condemnation of the reckless disreguard of Human life. Both Hatarian, and indeed the potential worldwide victims of the nations surrounding Hataria.
As we have in the past taken a position of isolation concerning the Worlds affairs. This act, in it's brutality and uncaring manner to the nations of the World, is an awakening.
We have no ties too the Hatarians, save that of human soul to human soul. And have no wish to cause further hostilitys. Be that as it may. We announce that we are sending four Hospital ships too Hatarian waters, too find ports of their governments choosing. With which to aid in whatever small way we can with this lawless act of aggression. The treatment of survivors, and the delivering of medications too ease what suffering we can is the mission of these vessels.
It is our sincerest hope that the Nations involved can silence their sabers for a moment and let our mercy mission pass without incedent.
Her Emperial Magisty,
Dagny Matterson.

Official Communique From The Skgorrian Foreign Ministry
The Hatarian menace is at last being checked, for despite their promises to the contrary they are still warlike and preparing for war. The Pact of Iron's strike was done so with the aim of removing a major threat to international peace before it had the chance to blossom into something more deadly.
you sir, are a threat to international peace! you and your ally murdered my civilians, you murdered Hataria's civilians, and you murdered axis nova's civilians, i call that a threat to international peace! and your ally made me pay for the nukes he fired at me! i bet he's just going to use the money to buy more nukes so that he can nuke me again! and trust me, you've agrivated more than one nation here!

Knowing nothing of the background of this attack we cannot send our armed forces to the aid of either sides, although our laws do not stop us from sending assistance to the victims of this attack, obviously i am talking about all the civilians in Hataria, if a major armed operation is issued by any other major country then The Superpower of Hugohk can in some cases send military aid.
But at the moment we can only send some minor help packages, we will parachute:
100 minor generators
10 tons of grain (for people affected)
15 medical teams to aid of any civilian casualties, not military
20 tons of water
and 4 tons of supplies (to be shared throughout the country, this is all we could send, i am truly sorry)
but before this act can be issued we need Hatarias permission to send airplanes in Hatarian Airspace

Yeah, but the reason that NS Earth is huge is to make the population/resource density equal to that of the Earth's, while keeping our enormous populations plausible, correct (although, wouldn't the enormous gravity crush us?)? Since the population density is the same, then wouldn't the Nemesis virus be able go pandemic? Unless the stuff has an incubation period of near-zero, and is, therefore, not a very effective weapon, it should be a global threat by now, except to 100% isolationist nations.

A general rule of thumb is that things that would otherwise cause global catastrophe don't tend to affect anything outside of their immediate region at most.
For example, if I were so inclined as to use my final option weapon and drop my natural resource satellite (a big asteroid) onto someone, it would crunch their region, but not the entire NS Earth.
By final, though, I mean -final-. The thing is far too valuable to get rid of unless there's no one left to make use of it.

While the name is technically Romania:
In English, the name of the country was originally borrowed from French "Roumania" (<"Roumanie"), then evolved into "Rumania", but was eventually replaced after World War II by the name used officially: "Romania". With a few exceptions such as English and Hungarian ("Románia"), in most languages, the "u" form is still used (German and Swedish: Rumänien; Bulgarian: Румъния; Serbian: Румунија / Rumunija, Polish: Rumunia, etc). In Portuguese, to distinguish them from the Romans, the Romanians are called romenos and their country Roménia. The e reflects the distinct quality of the romanian â, even though it's not very similar. Portuguese has nearly the same sound as the romanian â, but it only appears in unstressed position.
:rolleyes: Don't be bloody stupid. You think three hundred years of totalitarian dictatorship isn't long enough for people to follow blindly? Christ alive, 'democracies' cheered their way into WWI.
WWI didn't wipe out their entire population and wasn't guaranteed to do so, and it was before people realized the devastating potential of modern warfare. Besides, there have been totalitarian regimes lasting that long (the autocratic monarchies of France and Spain come to mind) and they still managed to be overthrown despite centuries of indoctrination that their rulers were divinely appointed to lead them.

Get stuffed!
Genocide is what the Pact of Iron did to South Africa - exterminated every living thing within it, levelled the landscape, and tarmac'd the surface before building huge factory and military complexes onto it and renaming it 'Airstrip One'.
Genocide is what the ASRF and SSRF did to Galation, killing 38,000,000 dead approx, and - as the wiki says; "The ruins were later sold off to the highest bidder, for a total of several billion dollars. Mutated sub-humans occasionally mount raids on the occupiers. The site of the Galatian capital, now a glass-walled crater, is controlled by Skgorria."
Genocide is what we did to the Caliguan Empire, Demaray, and the Fourth Holy Reich. Between just those three campaigns we killed about 1,071,000,000 people.
THAT's genocide. Not a pissant military strike that kills 12 million soldiers and civilians.
Fucksake... 'genocide'! Someone needs to get some perspective. :rolleyes: Genocide is what the Axis Novans did to the Atopians. Not a flaming military strike which successfully achieved its target of destroying another nation's military capability.
As far as justification goes, of course the first strike was damn well justified; hey, we used exactly the same reasoning - with the same evidence - as the Versailles Treaty and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, among others. If that's justifiable, then the Atopian attack on Hataria was justifiable by the same logic.
EDIT:
Legal definition of genocide: Organised acts of violence aimed at exterminating a group of people on racial, religious, or social grounds.
The First Strike: Military action aimed at destroying the Hatarian military capability. Which it did.
Axis Novan assault: Military action (organised act of violence) aimed expressly at exterminating the Atopians because they're Atopian.
You tell me which of those two is a 'genocidal act'.

I mean, if you want to talk numbers:
I killed 12 million Hatarians in a justified military strike which was both forewarned and avoidable (had the Hatarians attempted diplomacy in any way other than shouting NO).
Axis Nova killed 2.2 BILLION Atopians in a surprise attack which was unstoppable and unavoidable.
12,000,000 versus 2,200,000,000. Hm. Which of those is more genocidal? Think hard and carefully before you answer!

"Genocide is the mass killing of a group of people, as defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) as 'any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.'"
Note the bold: "destroy ... in part". You committed genocide. I didn't. I was in the right, you are in the wrong, thank you, goodnight.

Considering why I struck you, you're not really on any sort of moral high ground here. =p

Oh yeh? What'd that be then? The legitimate military strike on Hataria's military-industrial infrastructure?
I'm higher up the slope of depravity than you are, chum.

You tried to destroy the Hatarians in part, by your own admission. So you are guilty too

Official Governmental Communique from Descartesland Central Control
START
I, President Cailean Adair of Descartesland, am horribly saddened by the events in the short conflict between Hataria and Atopiana. Such disrespect for civilian life is horrifying. While in my humble opinion, the strikes that occured on either nation were unjustifiable, I feel morally obligated to offer assistance to the civilians of both sides of this conflict. Descartesland will offer food, water, and medical aid to any civilians affected by the despicable use of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Also, Descartesland is setting up several Refugee Camps for any of the citizens of either nation that have been displaced by the conflict. They will be treated with respect and given adequate food, medical treatment, and work to get them on their way to becoming possible permanent residents of Descartesland.
In the future, the nation of Descartesland offers our capitol city of Erringore as a neutral, non-aligned territory to conduct negotiations. Together, we can prevent such acts of genocide and atrocities against civilians. I volunteer my services as a neutral party to assist in any way possible.
Officially Signed:
President Cailean Adair

Fucking rubbish. Otherwise war is genocide. :rolleyes: Read the legal definition again please. Intent is what makes organised violence genocide - I intended military action with military results. The Axis Novans intended to obliterate the Atopian people. That's genocide.

The international community can not divine your intent. We assume the worst with harsh actions such as this.
Even "only" targeting certain areas, you still managed to kill 12 million people. Well let's look at what you targeted: all Hatarian shipyards, civilian and military, airfields, civilian and military, government offices, all power stations and infrastructure links such as bridges, railways.
With all of the ways in and out of Hataria destroyed, how could humanitarian aid, which was already needed, get into the country to relieve the massive disaster which your nation has caused? It seems to be deliberate acts to kill as many Hatarians as possible. If not with the initial strike, then with the aftermath. With today's modern military technology, and Hataria's weakened state, It would have been far more acceptable, and probably even more effective, to use a massive conventional bombing campaign against military bases, military airfield and military shipyards.
Two wrongs don't make a right. While Axis Nova overreacted in response to Atopianaian overreaction, we can not excuse either, and label both as genocides. In Atopiana's case it is like in Axis Nova's case a true Genocide, and it has already moved into the stage of denial in Atopiana
