Rharai, Rei Prefectre, Kemonomimi

Today, President Yim said that the nation of British Londinium was a "Evil imperialist dictatorship that is bent on world conquest."

News of British Londinium's wars of conquest have scared the whole Island and is the reason for The Kemonomimite Military being upgraded.

"We are going to confront British Londinium Diplomaticy first." Zilia Kisia, The Minister of Foreign affairs said. "War is only for the last as we are not ready to fight for from our homeland."

The Kemonomimite Congress has declared a Embargo of British Londinium and is seeking alliances with our nations.

OOC: im flattered that you should do this because of his invasion of my nation, but I'm afraid your actions will only make you his next target.

OOC: Technically, he's right. BL's founded an imperialistic alliance. Which, unfortunately, means I'll have to defend him. Though I admire your courage. Very much.

im claiming neutrality...

so have fun

OOC: Is this the new fad? Declaring war on BL? Jeeze, people. You really don't stand a chance. All you're doing is setting yourself up to be glassed.

It is unfortunate that British Londinium has gone from a nation of such highstanding to everything Kemonomimi has described and more.

That said, we will hold a eulogy for you - British Londinium surely has you in it's sights now.

We are quite happy to evacuate your citizens to our homeland, or our colonies of Gresta and Lotet.

Any attempt to stop this shipping will be met with appropriately - we say to EVIL - don't bite off more than you can chew - you attack Barronia, you attack her allies. And rest assured, any attack on Barronia will be met with your capitals becoming our trophies. We have had more than enough of your ridiculous charade.

President Yim:

I feel as if I must congratulate you for stating the exceptionally obvious, and for endangering the lives of every single man, woman, and child within your country for doing so. Furthermore, I must applaud you for enacting an embargo on British Londinium, especially because our records indicate precisely zero economic trade between your pathetic, fourth-world slums and the gleaming bastion of high civilization that is British Londinium.

You can expect a visit from the People's Sovereign Navy in the near future.

The Rt. Hon. James Azzopardi, MP
Consul of British Londinium

Undersecretary Hodz calls Kemonomimi 'a pathetic band of inexperienced rabble-rousers'

KENT, Aki - In a special session of Parliament today, Undersecretary Dr. Jules Hodz denounced the condemnation and embargo of British Londinium by a state known as "Kemonomimi".

"They're a pathetic band of inexperience rabble-rousers." he said, "trying to start trouble."

Dr. Hodz noted that Kemonomimi has been placed on an embargo and potential threat list.

"We'd rather not bother with diplomacy. In fact, we'd rather not bother at all." Dr. Hodz told the 400 MPs present.

He also noted that British Londinium has "Akimonad's full support" and that Akimonad is stepping up shipments to British Londinium to pick up any cargo lost due to an embargo.

"This sort of thing has happened before. It's always these pitiful little rogue states that pop up, spout garbage, and try to do something."

Dr. Hodz noted that the Kemonomimians have "not even told us their damn demands."

Anyway, the accusation is, to the extent of my knowledge, inaccurate only in the note of "bent on world conquest." I doubt he will really try to go anywhere near that far. Then again, I am just a casual observer.

NBBC World News

Presidential Palace- Epsom- New Brittonia

At a press conference in response to statements by President Yim of the nation of Kemonomimi that British Londinium is an
"Evil imperialist dictatorship that is bent on world conquest."

Prime Minister David Flower said this,
"Yes, BL has comitted gross, and might I underline the word gross, human rights violations. We still have to respect them. The United Socialist States of New Brittonia was founded on two things, neutrality and respect. We are neutral to these tensions, and we still trade and maintain embassies with both British Londinium and Kemonomini. I do wish that people can grow a litttle more sense in the world arena. Please, just take the time to think about your decisions, and consider the potential consequences, before you do it. That's it."

Prime Minister Flower also entertained the idea of having a meeting with all the non-human sentient leaders in New Brittonia.

Televised Broadcast, Plan9 Media

A woman in a tight blouse was on camera. She stood in a theater, where a podium and lectern had been erected, bearing the seal and flag of Akimonad.

"Good evening. You're watching P9's televised coverage of Dr. Jules Hodz's address to the nation concerning Kemonomimi. The address will start in just under thirty seconds."

Dr. Hodz strolled out onto the stage and took to the lectern.

"Greetings, fellow citizens and constituents. I have come here to address you on a matter that I feel requires your attention: The rogue nation of Kemonomimi. As you are likely aware, this nation has accused Akimonad's ally, British Londinium, of being an "imperialist dictatorship that is bent on world conquest." Not only did the Kemonomimians not do their research, but they have basically nullfied themselves. Such slanderous libel would be punishable here by up to twenty years in prison.

"And thus I say to you: It is the position of Akimonad that this pathetic group of finger-pointers calling themselves a nation deserves as little attention as possible.

"These pathetic rabble-rousers have tried to blockade British Londinium. They are apparently so clueless as to not notice that they never sent any goods to Londinium anyway.

"These moronic peoples will seal their own destruction with their own incompetence. And we needn't help. Thank you, good night, and God bless."

Applause roared throughout the theater.

Message from Azklak Vaaz'qkar, voice of Jenrak

Lord Miriana would like to remind both parties, the accused and the accuser of the consequences of waging such a war on any scale. Although Kemonomimi is within their rights of executing a trade embargo upon British Londinium, they must remember that they are in violation of international waters by placement of sovereign forces for sovereign use for prolonged periods. Also, sovereign use within foreign waters if also a highly frowned upon action. As such, Miriana advises that Kemonomimi quickly deceases these actions immediately, since there seems to be no trade relations between either nations, and such is simply a waste of resources.

On the other hand, should there be retaliatory action in terms of force projection from British Londinium or any party involved on either side for any reason withheld from international eyes and acceptance, then the Porcelain Crown gives the expectation that we will send in forces to prevent any escalation of conflict and to prevent casualties.

OOC: its usually somewhat inconvenient for those who aren't imperialist...

OOC: I see . . . it could be problematic for those on the recieving end (be they imperialist or not).

OOC: Sigh, looks like we will have to invade a few people after the Gholgoth vs Questerian Commonwealth War... British Londinium stomping time again...

OOC: Sigh, looks like we will have to invade a few people after the Gholgoth vs Questerian Commonwealth War... British Londinium stomping time again...

OOC: Our nations should definately throw our differences aside - to think, the Clandonian and the Barronian naval forces, fighting alongside for the pulverisation of EVIL...*sigh* the possibilities...

OOC: An embargo is just stopping trade. A blockade is putting in ships in other nations waters to stop trade. Kemo hasn't RP's the ships coming in, so please do not say that there are Kemo ships in BL's or international waters unless Kemo RP's it like that.

OOC: Sigh, looks like we will have to invade a few people after the Gholgoth vs Questerian Commonwealth War... British Londinium stomping time again...

OOC: Oh, cut the guy some slack. We're not trying to raise another Kraven outcome here.

OOC: I'm soooooooooo glad that I'm NS's Switzerland.

OOC: What is it that everyone has against imperialism?

Sumguy is right. Nationalist nations, or any nation really, don't like imperialism because they may end up imperialized. I've (obviously) no problem with imperialism when its done the right way.

Also, many nations dislike imperialism because they don't feel that is necessary to support a nation, and see it as ruthless landgrabbing, and because creating colonies and provinces is, in the short term, inefficient. However, as any good imperialist knows, A colony should be able to pay for itself.

Foreign Conflict Office

The Empire admires Kemonomimi's bravery, but must inform them that British Londinium is the closest thing our world has to a Superpower. To take on the PSR alone is foolish, and time and again, nations have proven that. Also, we find it strange that you would say "Imperialist" as if it is an insult. Imperialism is the force that shapes this world, and nations that don't adopt it, should either align with some of those that do, or prepare themselves to become the next cow run over by the iron locomotive of Empire.

British Londinium is the closest thing our world has to a Superpower.

OOC: You're not old enough to remember some of the past nations are you?

BL is - no offence meant - nothing compared to those nations. Besides, I could take him down. If he didn't have so many sheepish allies :p

OOC: Oh, I know I'm not a superpower. But thanks for the compliment, Kirav.

Btw, Barronia, whatever happened to your single government minister?

OOC: Oh, I know I'm not a superpower. But thanks for the compliment, Kirav.

From: President Yim of The Democratic Republic of Kemonomimi

We do not want war with British Londinium and we are going to face them in a Diplomatic and more peaceful way to keep a war from starting. We are trying to end these wars that British Londinium have started to keep peace.

You're welcome. I know you're not a superpower as well. Just making a point that from my point of view, being equivalent to slightly under a "Middle Power" in the Cold War reckoning and only a recent graduate froom Noob Camp, Bl seems to reseble a superpower in some ways.

OOC: I'm aware of that. But my agenda isn't peacekeeping. I have to cover it up, and under the assumption of a blockade is a perfectly fine excuse for me to come in.

OOC: I know you're not me, but let me get this question answered first.
Kemonomini, is this a cancellation of trade between you and BL or an actual blockade of his ports?

OOC: But the Empire of the Wolf is bigger still... ;)

OOC: No 06 or 07 nation is a superpower.

OOC: I know you're not me, but let me get this question answered first.
Kemonomini, is this a cancellation of trade between you and BL or an actual blockade of his ports?

OOC:It is a Cancellation of trade.

OOC: BL, you're a bigger super power than I am. By far.

OOC: That's not really saying much, as you are an 07 nation...

I would regard Questers or Wagdog as being superpowers, but definitely not any 06, or even most 05 nations.

OOC: Oh, I know I'm not a superpower. But thanks for the compliment, Kirav.

Btw, Barronia, whatever happened to your single government minister?

OOC: BL, you're a bigger super power than I am. By far.

In TMZ, busy as ever with all things military, the populace paused for a moment and looked at one another. Then they went back about business as normal, which ws being the ever ready military that they were.

"You know BL really has gotten itself over extended. How many wars are they currently figthting?" Commented Major Tom as he took a smoke break from the lastest planning session.

"Let me go check the board before I take any bets with you" Colonel Clarkson replied with a laugh.

"The Operations Council" He refered to the ten member group that ran the nation that TMZ had inadvertantly become. "was discussing something to do with BL and RBI not to long ago after those totally disgusting videos came out. I mean I love a good hunt, but that wasn't hunting, that was murder." The good colonel despised wanton cruelity, and considered those nations participating in the Ryou Black Islands dolphin fishing as barbarians. The rest of the populace of TMZ had agreeed and those nations were on the embargo list.

Colonel Clarkson turned from perusing the boards "British Londinium is still dealing with Cazelia, It looks like they are also taking on Second United Kingdom and Lord Sumguy and we are all but on hundred percent positive that they werwe behind the nuking of Calizorinstan."

"They are over extended by about half then I'd say. BeLee only has a population of just over two billion. " His grin was that of a sharks " I wonder whom the OCee is on the phone with?" Major Tom ground out his butt and looked towards the tallest building in HeadQuaters City.

"I'd guess the Imitorans and the Tanaarans first. Though Assington, Tarlachia and TGS might come into play. But the 'Torans and the Tans at least. One is spoiling for a war and the other really hates bullies." The Colonel said meditatively.

in the deepest level below the tower state of the art electronic communication was just coming to an close as General Ian Hardcastle, the current head of the OC signed off from his brief conversation with HM Queen Mercedez Hexx of Tanara. He sat back in his chair to think as the muted sounds of the war room went on about him

The cavern had been naturally formed, man had just made use of it, and made it nigh impregnable, as all the shelters dug in to the depths of their island home were. In a profession that made the populace all to aware of what other, less civilised nations were willing to do, those of TMZ took prepareing for the worst as their first priority. The shetlers were dug in deep and stocked to assure that those using them would want for little.

The war room surpassed even those worthy structures however, and boasted beyond state of the known art facilities. Part of which was the linkage to the Fatal Terrain Regional Defense network. And that linkage had very unconventional back up. For that they had to thank Cats Keep.


After a few minutes of contemplation he sat up and looked at his aide "Get PIS on the line we have an announcement to make.

Half an hour later the world was informed that The Militarized Zone was in agreement with Kemonomimite's assessment of British Londinium. And that British Londinium's no trade list as well. Nor will any BL' flagged ships be allowed to transit through TMZ waters or use TMC ports. All citizens of BL will be expelled within 24 hours.

OOC: wow, you got balls. Most people that try this are either slaves, or dead.

OOC: That's not really saying much, as you are an 07 nation...

I would regard Questers or Wagdog as being superpowers, but definitely not any 06, or even most 05 nations.

Oh. So it goes by age rather than foreign influence and military power?

What would an 07 nation be in that case?

BL resembles a superpower because none of the superpowers are interested in holding him in check / do not have the time / simply don't want to. In reality he's probably slightly belwo a middle power, probably something akin to say, Hungary or South Korea in the Cold War.

BL is just very active all the time. Real superpowers are states like Automagfreek, Questers, Doomingsland etc. BL could be described as middle power or something, just he probably is more influential then majority of nations that have roughly same size as he has, simply because he is lot more active in international stage.

British Londinium is a nation of cretins who have squandered their chance at a new beginning after we successfully liberated them from Sovereign League control. Unfortunately, Londinium officials must have mistaken our good graces for the green light to launch campaign after campaign, something that has not gone unnoticed by our esteemed leaders, Damien Dreadfire and his son Azrael.

Let it be known that the Freekish Empire has invested a large amount of time and money into rebuilding British Londinium, and we are extremely displeased by their actions as of late. Let it also be known that Automagfreek and our glorious Warlord and Imperial Regent do not like to be made fools of, and therefore we offer a simple ultimatum: either change your ways, or face purification.

We have smeared nations from the face of the earth for squandering our assistance and making us look bad before, and by the Winds we will not hesitate to do so again. Consider this your very last chance, for if you choose to ignore it.....then we will send you all to whatever God you wish.

Oh. So it goes by age rather than foreign influence and military power?

What would an 07 nation be in that case?

OOC: Age is a major factor, as it correlates directly to size and thus has a major influence on wealth and other such factors. Very important, however, are other factors that relate to your activities on the forums (one can establish oneself to become much more powerful than a nation that is a couple years older and somewhat active, though this is difficult) as well as your choices regarding issues and such w/your nation (though this is less influential than the previous factor). Of course, age is a major advantage in the area of influence and power through RPing due to the fact that an older nation has more time to develop this.

BL resembles a superpower because none of the superpowers are interested in holding him in check / do not have the time / simply don't want to. In reality he's probably slightly belwo a middle power, probably something akin to say, Hungary or South Korea in the Cold War.

Yes, good analysis. However, I would have to say that the Cold War would typically be a relatively bad thing to compare for level of power, as it was, far more so than one would ever experience here, a somewhat bipolar situation between the US and USSR. Of course, it was far from the two super powers sitting at either end of a chess board moving around all of the other nations in the world, but the extent of power and influence of any nation as one goes up would be greatly influenced by that bipolarism in a way that is not so applicable here.

True; I was just using the scale that other people had previously provided. You're right, of course.

True; I was just using the scale that other people had previously provided. You're right, of course.

OOC: I understand; your use was not the first I noted, just the one that happened to be next to the post I was already quoting anyway.
I suppose it is inevitable that that scale is to be used, being that it is far fresher in the collective memory than others. The several hundred years of European history prior to WWI provides countless examples that would be far more relevant, but few would understand such allusions.

"Oh my interesting! The Freeks have put forth their view, and none too gently. Though all things considered, for them it is the height of gentleness." Lady Shalamar, Tenerista of Cats Keep looked away from the immense matrix construct with a wry grin.

With but a though the Matrix glowed and showed a different view. A lovely blonde haired woman sitting on an simple but elegant wooden chair "Mercy sorry to disturb you but minutes before you're scheduled to make your announcement. However you should know that Lord Damien Dreadfire and his son Azrael of the Freekish Empire have taken notice. Minister Hartman just issued their thoughts on British Londinium."

The Tanaaran Monarch looked startled, then thoughtful. "I'll wait and see what develops then. Please, since you are obviously in spy mode today, let Ian know and I'll contact the First Speaker. But I think leaving the RDN on active status would not be amis."

"I agree with you Mercy, and I'll let the General and the Commander know." Lady Shalamar nodded to the much younger woman and the matrix faded to a swirl of crystal, sivler, blue and gold.

OOC: I really don't think that there are any NS nations that can achieve much of a hegemony. In the military sence, maybe but in an economic or cultural sence, then no.

The High council, After due deliberation, had decided we shall come to the aide of our socialist brothers in kemonomimi, alone we are weak, but together we can topple the mightiest empires! We would like to offer a Military Alliance against British Londonium, for far too long they've looked down their powdered noses at the poor, and conquered the weak. This shall not continue without a fight.

ANNN Special Report: Government announces policy of support for The Democratic Republic of Kemonomimi

"...and that's it for the weather. Now over to you, Richard."

"Thanks, Christine. Tonight, in an unexpected maneuver, the government has declared a policy of open support for the small nation of Kemonomimi, which recently has taken a brave stand against the latest odious contender for a superpower on the global stage, which styles itself The People's Sovereign Republic of British Londinium. This nation, after suffering massive damage due to invasions from the Sovereign League, was later rebuilt with aid from The Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek. Our foreign policy analysists have determined that British Londinium has mistaken this as Automagfreek being willing to protect British Londinium. This would be one possible explanation for it's recent series of campaigns against smaller, less powerful nations, at any rate. As to why the Imperial Realm wishes to get involved with this small, relatively insignificant nation, well, the government is keeping mum on this one, though certain unnamed sources have commented that Kemonomimi is well-located for a mass driver facility..."

Greetings to the Democratic Republic of Kemonomimi from the Imperial Realm of Axis Nova!

It is our opinion that the arrogant nation of British Londinium is long overdue for a lesson in humility, and we believe that you would be capable of dishing this lesson out, with some support from our armed forces.

The Imperium seconds the comments of our ally Lord Dreadfire. British Londinium has no need whatsoever to behave aggressively towards this upstart nation which poses it no threat; furthermore, we similarly find the Londinian commitment to multiple fronts rather remarkable. One can only imagine what hardships are endured on the home front to sustain so many warriors in the field. We suggest that you abandon any thoughts of aggression and stay at home; your pride is not at stake, nor your security. Focus on matters more important to the world.

The Kemonomimites were Prepareing for war, but they were not going for a Offense, they were going to do a Defense. Yim had declared that Kemonomimi will not declare war unless attacked. The Kemonomimite Navy was Small and the nation had no air force as of yet, but it had a Army of 800,000 and they had one good General, a Minotaur named Crassus.

The Kemonomimite Government was hopeing for a peaceful end to this Confict, and that it did not turn to a war.

Open Declaration of the Dictorial Republic of Sumer

It is not often we, as a nation and as a force, come out to the world stage to work on behalf of another. It is less often that we come out at the potential cost of some economic venture. However, it has been discussed among the Popular Senate, and is currently being discussed within the Civil Senate, the consequences of the actions being debated here.

For now the Dictorial Republic will take the stance of defence. For the hostile stance towards the young nation of Kemonomimi by those simply wanting blood is not only unjust, but unaccecptable. Likewise if Kemonomimi wishes to pursue offensive action to drive the point that they have already made diplomatically into the military sphere, we can not accecpt that. And thus the Dictorial Republic has taken the official stance of discussion. We urge both parties, British Londinium and Kemonomimi, to discuss their differences in a peaceful manner, for a bloody war of aggression will only end badly for the aggressor.

As a precautionary action the Civil Senate has ordered the return to home port of those few Sumerian civillian fishing vessels currently operating within Londinium waters. This act is taken to prevent a nasty situation from developing were this matter not to be resolved around a table of discussion. We hope those recalled ships can return to their endeavour in the near future as peace is restored.

Furthermore, as the young nation of Kemonomimi is unable to fully secure its borders at this time, we would like to offer the assistance of the Sumerian Second Expeditionary Fleet. We will, provided the Kemonomimi government agrees, use the Second Fleet to secure Kemonomimi airspace and maritime borders from attack. We feel that such an act would better allow the Kemonomimi people to come to the table of discussion, without being forced to worry about invasion. Likewise, we feel this act should put Londinium hearts at rest as well, as we have made it quite clear already that we will not accecpt offensive action either way. Thusly, the Kemonomimi military should be aware that the Second Fleet would be under orders to crush any Kemonomimi offensive activity if they so wished to take it. We feel that the previously expressed defensive intentions of the Kemonomimi military, however, to make this a virtually moot point.

I await eagerly response from Kemonomimi officials, as well as news of the start of diplomatic talks between the Londinium and Kemonomimian government.

[OOC: I would disagree on that...in all forms of influence, nobody can truly achieve a monopoly on power, as the NS Earth is too big, but all can still be influential, but nobody can truly be top dog. For example, Pacitalia is considered to have a highly influential economy, and while Pacitalian economic power has shown it's hand time and time, it doesn't affect everybody...it will affect a decent number, but not all. The same can apply to Automagfreek, Doomingsland or any other military power. Culturally, from what I can tell, NS is inherently Western-based thanks to the fact a large majority of them are from MEDC states and those tend to be in the West (namely, the UK and the USA, though I myself come from an MEDC not in the West). And the West has had it's legacies elsewhere. But alas, as I'm tied with SWOCA, I can't help out any of the parties if they requested...so, I'm just going to sit back and watch.]
