Lord Sumguy smiled as he walked into the conference room that where the second council of the Hegemony would meet and waited fo the others to arrive. He passed the time by looking over the agenda for the day.

OOC: this is basically a thread where we can co-ordinate our actions and decide what the Hegemony will be doing as a whole.

Hegemony creation and thread: (you can join there if you aren't a member) http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=533242

Prime Minister Howard made his way into the conference room with his folder and agenda. The Prime Minister drank some brandy and waited for the others.

Lord Oliver Mosley IX entered the room. he was an old man, serving as Elected Duke of Millow and Elected Viscount of the Colonies, and former Brigadier in the army of Bredford, who winned the famous Battle of Bredford.

but rather from leading soldiers to battle, he now could barely sit on his chair.

The president of Alfegos stepped out of the Blackhawk UH - 60, and got into the car waiting for him, to transport him to the meeting chamber. In his case was a list of ideals that the country wished for in this new alliance.

Arcadia Terrazas, Londinian liaison to the Hegemony, sauntered slowly into the meeting room, taking a seat close to the head of the table. She carried a thin, light titanium briefcase, and set it gently on the table. As it opened, it not only revealed various folders and official white papers, but a recording device and satellite uplink to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kensington.

Let the games begin, Arcadia thought to herself.

President Foxswift entered the chamber with his briefcase and sat down. He then took a sip of some water.

The president sat down in the chamber, near the front row. He took out his mobile phone and switched it off. He wasn't going to want interuptions in this meeting.

Idly, he unwrapped a mint and began to suck on it, waiting for the show to start.

Lord Sumguy lookeed around. "Well, that's about half of us, close enough. Does anyone have an issue of importance that they wish to bring up for consideration?"

Prime Minister Howard put down his glass and answered quickly. "I would like to bring up our current number of peacekeeping guard. We must look over our equipment and aid before we take on peace missions."

"Af course. That reminds me, I have decided to incorporate the entirety of the Sumguaian military, with the exception of the Royal Guard, into the international Hegemony peacekeepers. All of the Sumguaian military budget will also be used for the maintenance of the peacekeeping force."

Dr. Jules Hodz entered, and gathered that was a little late.

OOC: nah, its just preliminary talk. The main issues wont be brought up until everyone arrives.

"Gentlemen, Alfegos has a suggestion for the size of any peacekeeping force: that is, that it should be less that 200 000 personel.

We also should not, under any circumstances, allow the use of WMDs.

But we will discuss that point later."

OOC: read the charter..WMD use is forbidden and will result in expulsion for the Hegemony.

OOC: he is?

OOC: Sorry to butt in but Akimonad's in the Hegemony and he's about to go after Lord Sumguy?

OOC: ah, but who will Akimonad side with?

OOC: Sorry to butt in but Akimonad's in the Hegemony and he's about to go after Lord Sumguy?

Er... That's Gens Romae.

OOC: Oops, musta misread the CA thread. My bad.

Michael Check, President of Greston, and ex Vice Hegemon, walked into the chamber while the other reprisentitives were in the middle of talking about the peace keeping numbers and defense and what not.

He walked to the second row and took a seat. He opened his black brief case, inside was all the inteligence and paperwork on recent events. It also had an acordian style note holder which had all the papers on things he wanted to mention incase he forgot. Then he sat there waiting for a break in the conversation.

the loud sound of Rowan's echoed through the building. he walked over to a seat and sat down "i'm sorry i'm late, my ride was a little slow" said Rowan

OOC: ah, but who will Akimonad side with?

Absolutely no one.

Lord Sumguy began to speak: "It seems only Jack Arnold is missing. No matter, let us begin. First on the agenda is the conflict between the Corporate Alliance and New Prussian Empire. I hold no affection towards either, one attacked us for oil and the other betrayed us in order to grab some land. Also, we have members of both here, so i suggest we remain neutral unless one of us is attacked." Lord Sumguypaused ofr a moment to answer his cell phone, and his face went pale as he listened. "Gens Romae just launched a missle attack on one of my cities, I guess we have a new issue to discuss."

King Wartom entered the room, altough un-invited, and started juggling. The guards pulled him out while Wartom screamed: "Potatoes! POTATOES!". As the guards leave with the struggling king, the door slams close with a bang.

President Jack Arnold strode in, very tired, his face lined, and said wearily "Sorry I'm late, I had matters of state to discuss with certain nations.." He sat down and sighed...

The Prime Minister was shocked at what he heard. "Gens Romae must end there attacks and this council must take action against them now!"

"My military can deal with Gens Romae if it is just them attacking, but if other CA members join in, we will need all the help we can get."

"The Royal Air Force can be there in ten minutes to fight them off. British ground troops are on alert and ready if you need them".

Michael sat there with jaw trouching the floor. Then his phone rang and as he answered it he said now is not a good time. But then he heard the voice of the captain of the Greyscale. The captian said that the entirety of Gens airforce was flying above them and they started firing. He also siad that the Rester would help.

"Lord Sumguy, no need to use to much military force, tow of the best commanded Irondecks in the world have spotted the enemy and have begun to fire. I will have reports on the death report momentarily."

"Whatever you send would be appreciated, I have no problem with using overwhelming force to repel an invader." Lord Sumguy said, smiling.

"May I ask what the People's Sovereign Republic would get out of defending Lord Sumguy?" asked Arcadia. "After all, we still have nearly eight thousand troops who have yet to withdraw from the Sumatripte area, and are best capable of providing an effective defence. But, we are not bound by treaty in anyway to do so. And, thus, I must ask what the People's Sovereign Republic would gain by placing our soldiers in harm's way?"

"No Lord Sumguy you don't understand, I don't need to send soldiers for a while, because two Irondecks have spotted the enemywhile it was coming towards you. The Irondecks are already there."

"we have a Cazelian battlegroup on the way and our anti missile satilittes have been activated" said Rowan

"Like that would help," the Londinian representative snorted. "Cazelia - the nation that can't fight worth shit."

Tyrone Foreman Jr. strode in, a little terrified look on his face, he was the new Arbiter of the Far Echo Islands, hand picked by Grant Norse, whom had recently replaced the former Grand Arbiter. He toted an aluminum brief case; an he sat it on the table. He then took a seat.

He cleared his throat, and then said "Excuse me for my tardiness, but I had an issue of military deployment back home. I had opening statements about how great the Hegemony would be, but I think I've come up with a better one. Why is it that my Concord jet passed seven squads of fighters and half the military bases in Lord Sumguy are burning?!"

"May I ask what the People's Sovereign Republic would get out of defending Lord Sumguy?" asked Arcadia. "After all, we still have nearly eight thousand troops who have yet to withdraw from the Sumatripte area, and are best capable of providing an effective defence. But, we are not bound by treaty in anyway to do so. And, thus, I must ask what the People's Sovereign Republic would gain by placing our soldiers in harm's way?"

"You would probably stand to gain nothing, as Lord Sumguy has incurred the wrath of the Corporate Alliance. My advice would be to stay out, or choose another side."

"Correction: 3 bases are destroyed, I've just been attacked." Lord Sumguy said, turning to Arcadia. "I don;t think we have need of Londinian intervwntion just yet."

"Like that would help," the Londinian representative snorted. "Cazelia - the nation that can't fight worth shit."

Rowan gave her a pissed off look "one of our marines could take down twelve of your men in hand to hand or marksmanship" he said "and what about Major Ingram Hasley? the 17 year old triple ace. most of your pilot have barely reached that number of kills at age forty" he turned his attention back to the confrence "the group consists of a supercarrier, a destroyer and a battlecruiser" "and our fighters are on an intercept course with the enemy planes, and will soon engage"

"I would suggest the The Hegemony agree to Griffincrest's demand for complete neutrality. That is the only way The Hegemony stands to be preserved."

"We can't just stand here and do nothing while one our own is being attacked, its in the first section of our charter:"

Chapter One, concerning military actions:

1. The Hegemony nations agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the Hegemony as a whole.

Rowan gave her a pissed off look "one of our marines could take down twelve of your men in hand to hand or marksmanship" he said "and what about Major Ingram Hasley? the 17 year old triple ace. most of your pilot have barely reached that number of kills at age forty" he turned his attention back to the confrence "the group consists of a supercarrier, a destroyer and a battlecruiser" "and our fighters are on an intercept course with the enemy planes, and will soon engage"

"Unless you stand down immediately, I will have little choice but to order our forces that are around Sumatripte from the independence conflict to engage you."

President Arnold stood up to Hodz and said quietly "Just leave Cazelia alone, and they won't harm you.."

"Lord Sumguy! I need you to give me a written document on our neutrality in the Corparate-Prussian war, he said that if we show him that Gens Romae will pull back and leave the Hegemony alone. And I need It fast."

Lord Sumguy sighed. "Very well, one will be written, but I will not forget what Gens romae has done.

President Arnold stood up to Hodz and said quietly "Just leave Cazelia alone, and they won't harm you.."

Dr. Hodz reclined in his chair.

"My forces really should be in between the fleets, shooting down anything that tries to get past them, regardless of its origin or allegiance."

"Unless you stand down immediately, I will have little choice but to order our forces that are around Sumatripte from the independence conflict to engage you."

"i was talking about Gens Romae, not you" he said

Dr. Hodz reclined in his chair.

"My forces really should be in between the fleets, shooting down anything that tries to get past them, regardless of its origin or allegiance."

"Why should they not got past them, you would only make the Cazelian people hate you and declare war on you, and you'd have to fight them in addition to what you are doing?" He asked Hodz and sighed to himself, wondering what would happen in this conflict..

"Dear Lord! I have this undercontrol, the war will end momentarily so no one needs to send in military, and Lord Sumguy I have a solution for you and the deathes they have caused, unbenost to him, you bought all of those Jaguars remember, and those Hietels. Use them on him, oh and I will say in a letter to the CA that every Roman left in Lord Sumguy agter an hour we have the right to kill. And when they leave they will run into my Irondecks and at least 200 F4 Phantoms

"Why should they not got past them, you would only make the Cazelian people hate you and declare war on you, and you'd have to fight them in addition to what you are doing?" He asked Hodz and sighed to himself, wondering what would happen in this conflict..

"I'd make my CA allies angry too. But then, I'd also make everyone happy, as there would be no casualties since everything would be shot down."

Dr. Hodz sighed, contemplating his allegiance.

"If we did enter the conflict, it would be in our own interests, since we are members of both alliances and cannot declare war on either."

Rowan gave her a pissed off look "one of our marines could take down twelve of your men in hand to hand or marksmanship" he said "and what about Major Ingram Hasley? the 17 year old triple ace. most of your pilot have barely reached that number of kills at age forty" he turned his attention back to the confrence "the group consists of a supercarrier, a destroyer and a battlecruiser" "and our fighters are on an intercept course with the enemy planes, and will soon engage"

"And one of our missiles filled with VX nerve gas can kill millions of your citizens in a heartbeat - and, oh, they have! - but you don't see me mentioning it," Arcadia said with a laugh. "And I couldn't care less about another member of the Hasleys - the boy is simply another horrific, horrific example of poor Cazelian genetics."

"Shut the hell up Arcadia. Your friggin nation has done enough crap to the Hegemony, past and present. So you have finished the charter so get the hell outta here if all you're going to do is argue with Cazelian Reps."

Use them on him, oh and I will say in a letter to the CA that every Roman left in Lord Sumguy agter an hour we have the right to kill. And when they leave they will run into my Irondecks and at least 200 F4 Phantoms

"NO, YOU MAY NOT!" Dr. Hodz declared, slamming his fist on the table.

"Everyone will not incur any more causualties past right now. They WILL be free to escape. Only, and ONLY, if they continue offensive action should you fire. I will not allow both of my allies to get destroyed."

"My apologies," she said rigidly. "But I did not willingly choose to come here - Lord Sumguy, for whatever reason, invited my government to send me here. I am an observer, nothing more, and I assure you that there will be no further...conflicts with the Cazelian scu...plenipotentiary."

"Will you all stop bickering like children and swallow your pride so that we may actaully get something done!?" Lord Sumguy yelled. "MY nation is under attack, so let ME handle it."

So you request no assistance from Hegemony members, the Far Echo Islands is capable of sending in 1000 fighter jets and 300,000 troops within 24 hours. An attack on our ally constitutes a declaration of open war, but only if you request assistance.

The president had had enough of this arguing.

"Enough!" he yelled, slamming his fist on the table, leaving a large dent.
"Why are we all arguing and insulting one another? Why don't we just agree on what we are going to do to halt this invasion, instead of insulting each other's culture and race?"

He heard the quiet curse and could imagine the head of his secretary shaking her head in the car outside.

"Your nation won't be under attack if you give me that document, and Akimonad I don't want my allies to die just like you don't want yours to but I have always beed Lord Sumguys ally, and friend. Gens Romae has always been my enemy and now that they are in war I must help."

"The document is being drafted as we speak, it will be ready shortly. Now, if we are all done threatening each other and showing off the size of our egos, I would like to move on to the next issue."

I'll leave Sumguy as soon as Blackhelm tells me too, and no sooner. In the meantime, I am gonna shell him senseless.

"This has to be a good enough reason invade him, if we don't act Sumguy could become one of a colony of the CA with no soldiers a government or anything he used to have. Now I don't care what anyone says I am going to take out Gens Romae, any soldier of his found in Lord Sumguy will be merclessly killed!"

"This has to be a good enough reason invade him, if we don't act Sumguy could become one of a colony of the CA with no soldiers a government or anything he used to have. Now I don't care what anyone says I am going to take out Gens Romae, any soldier of his found in Lord Sumguy will be merclessly killed!"

"If the war ends like that it is my personal intention to nuke the hell out of Gens Romae, I will not let the founder of the Hegemony fall to be a colony."

"Thank you my Far Echo friend but I think that the charter states that no use of WMD are allowed. So you will just have to help me kill him on land. How does that sound it is bound to be your first war."

"There will be no invasion of Gens Romae, I will not sink to their level. I think it would be best if none of you intervened at this point, we don't want to have to fight the entire CA."

Lord Sumguy shuffled his papers. "Now enough talk on that subject, i think it is time we continued with the agenda. The next item is the Hegemony election. We need to set a date for it, as I am only Hegemon temporarily."

The Prime Minister hadn't said a word. Everyone around this table who was fighting looked like children and it was disgusting to him. "I think we should have elections after this crisis has pasted".

"And, in other news, it seems that we are now an official member, due to our signing of the charter," Arcadia announced with a shrug. "Meh."

"The crisis will be over within hours. does anyone have suggestions as to when the election should be held?" So BL suddenly decides to join? I wonder if Davidson fancies himself Hegemon...

"Once the current situation in Lord Sumguy is resolved," Arcadia replied. "External security must be assured before any election."

"Once the current situation in Lord Sumguy is resolved," Arcadia replied. "External security must be assured before any election."

"my marines can handle that" said Rowan smiling "we currently have 12 divisions ready for action"

President Arnold sighed and strummed his fingers on the desk, bored out of his mind..

"I think that international security should be handled by a multinational force, troops that answer to the Hegemony, not to Cazelia or British Londinium or myself."

President Arnold sighed and strummed his fingers on the desk, bored out of his mind..

OOC: were you expecting a circus? :p

hey look, im a pimp..

OOC: No, he's just wondering what to do in his situation..

IC:
President Arnold spoke up "My nation has decided that we should hold military excercises between the Hegemony members.."

The Greal minister of Foreign Affairs finally arrived at the conference.

The representative of the Free Empire, Fredrick Crockett, had been locked in thought during most of the bickering, remembering history, a particular alliance... the Union of Democratic Nations. His history lessons came back to him, and he rose silently.

"Enough! I suggest that the elections be held tomorrow. I for one will be throwing my hat in for Hegemon, and if elected I will push legislation to create troop caps, revise the economic chapter of the charter to make it more encompassing, create an InterPol to enforce international law in the Hegemony, and a Hegemony wide SkyNet to protect the Hegemony from missle attacks. Now, who agrees with me?"

"I agree with most of those points, but i fail to see why you are so upset..." Lord Sumguy said, puzzled.

"I agree with most of those ideas."said the minister.

Can i join these talks comrade?

Can i join these talks comrade?


sure, you are a member.

ambassador Ivan arrived(its easier to say i just showed up) and sat down.

"Bickering doesn't make an efficient legislative, my Lord. I learned that in my eight years in Parliament. Besides, don't you have a rather crucial document you need to write, Mr. Sumguy?" Fredrick replied cooly.

"It has already been written and broadcast."

OOC: look at my posts, Lord Sumguy wasn't one of the ones bickering.

Fred walked over to the North Calaverasian representative and filled him in on what had happened.

"So, we are having a vote on this tomorrow? Not many of the members have arrived yet." said the minister.

OOC: im gonna be off for about 2 hours

Ivan: So, what are we going to do about CA?

"That matter has been resolved by the Sumguyan government. The Hegemony as a whole is staying neutral towards them." Fredrick said, impatience creeping into his voice.

Ivan: Well, our leader thinks that NC should become more aggressive against capatilist countrys.

The Zoingonian ambassador (James Cohiri) sliped quietly into the seat next to the Greal representative, while being filled in on the latest info during the meeting.

"The Hegemony is not going to pursue aggresive actions against the Corporate Alliance, for if that happened the Hegemony would be decisivly be destroyed and occupied, most likely worse then what British Londinium did. However, if your nation wishes to go for national suicide on it's own by waging war on the CA, that's your choice." Mr. Crockett said, secretly marvelling at how hot-headed young nations as a whole were, especially the communists.

Ivan: National suicide, this dosnt exactly concern the CA, we have put in motion plans to spread world wide revolution, and the converting of hostile nations.

"Yes, indeed, that would be foolish." Tyrone added. It was sick to laugh at other peoples minfourtune, but he couldn't help but see the similarites between this and the 'One Hour War' his nation had had with BL.

Ivan: Our nation has endured attack after attack, yet we are still here, the people on NC are tired of beign on the defensive.

" Maybe Ivan, the NC should wait and save the battle for a later day. We are at this moment ending a brief confrontation, and I don't think it is wise to attack now. Besides, if you attack the CA, you will be going against 30+ nations, since their constitution/pact states they must support any CA nation that is invaded . They could also redirect that and attack the Hegemony, which I for one do not wish to see my country under another rule," James said.

Ivan: I understand your concern, well, we would never want to get you involved unwillingly.(SP)

"Understood," James replied.

Ivan: Well, our leader thinks that NC should become more aggressive against capatilist countrys.

"My nation is as capitalist as they come." Lord Sumguy said, annoyed. "An economic system is no measure for freedom or the quality of a country. The election will not be tommorow unless the council votes that it should be. I think we should wait for several days in case the current situation should flare up again."

"I second that."

"Good luck violently converting untold numbers of multi-billion capitalists. Now, when shall the election be, Lord Sumguy?" Fred said, mildly displeased.

"I agree with Lord Sumguy and I would like to throw name in for Vice Hegemon as I had gotten used to it before the Hegemony was disbanned, and if you woudn't mind me saying I think Vontanas should run for Polemarch, you'd be perfect for it."

"I think the candidate submissions should start either tommorow or monday, depending on whether Gens Romae continues his suicidal invasion or not.

OOC: I wasn't in the first Hegemony, what are all the positions, their ranks, and their powers?

OOC: Polemarch is the head of all international military operations, and answers to the Hegemon.

OOC: Yes, now what are the other positions and their jobs?

OOC: The Hegemon is the leader of the Hegemony, basically like the U.S. President, but with more power and ability to make decisions and set policy. The charter details the exact powers of the Hegemon.

The Vice-Hegemon presides over the Hegemony council and becomes Hegemon in the event of the Hegemon's death or inability to serve.

The Hegemon may appoint other ministers and officials to carry out tasks that are within the power of the Hegemon.

Ideally, the Hegemon and Vice Hegemon should like diplomacy RP's, while the Polemarch should be skilled in war RP'ing.

OOC: LS check you TGs

Minister of Foreign Affairs Will Riddle asked "So we have to elect a Vice-Hegemon?"

"Yes, and a Polemarch. All other officials will be assigned by the Hegemon."

"So we have to have elections soon?" asked Will

"Yes."

OOC: Lord Sumguy, check your TGs.

"I could see New Vantania in either role," Fred said, pausing for effect, "and I think I will be running for Hegemon and Polemarch," Mr. Crockett paused again to let them take it in, "if I win one, then I'll take it. If I win both, I'll take Hegemon and let the runner up take Polemarch."

"Alright, the elections will be held as soon as Gens Romae pulls out of the Holy Hegemonic Empire. I will be running for Hegemon."

"We'll try for Hegemon and Polemarch, though we're more suited to Hegemon diplomatically."

"Now, as I said, as Hegemon I would increase the protection for Hegemonic states. Through an Alliance InterPol I would make sure Hegemonic and International Law is followed. Through a SkyNet I will make sure that the phantom of ballistic missles never again visits Hegemonic states. I will make sure that the economic chapter is much more extensive, both protecting and bolstering Hegemonic economies. New Vantania is very experienced, having been the leader of alliances before, has extensive economic power, and has been in a wide variety of diplomatic and military moments." Fredrick Crockett said, hoping that they would give him a shot.
