Official Londinian Communiqué

Open Declaration:

Whilst this new American Empire may hope to last ten thousand years, the Londinian Commonwealth is intending to take actions to the contrary. We are disgusted by Order of America's disregard for basic civil liberties such as the right to speak freely. Order of America is hereby ordered to dissolve the Imperial Government or face blockade and possible military action.

Sincerely,

Consul of the Londinian Commonwealth

Official Prestonian Statement

The Prestonian Republic condemns this dictatorship. We had enjoyed cordial relations with the Order of America in it's republic form, but we cannot side with a nation that so blatantly tramples on the most basic of human freedoms. We give you an ultimatum: you have 48 hours to reinstate the right to free speech and deregulate the economy to it's previous standard. We warn you, the Prestonian people do not take kindly to fascism or dictatorships, and you currently have both. Choose your coming moves wisely.

With utmost Contempt,
Justin M. Gannon
President, Republic of Prestonia
Vice-Chairman, Prestonian Democratic Party

Official Statement from TSRT Government
"The Totalitarian State hereby suggests that both Central Prestonia and British Londinium back down or we will be forced to come to the aide of the American Empire. We are fully capable of punishing both of you for violating their sovereign right of their leaders to make their own decisions."
End Message

We assure you that Our Government is committed to upholding and Maintaining our current outlook regarding civil rights. It seems to me that when a National leader uses dictatorship and freedom of speech every one has the Tendency to fly off the Handle. The Specified Laws against freedom of speech was directed towards the Media. This Law which was recently voted on by The Supreme Governing Council is known as the Fairness Doctrine, which states that the Media must present both outlooks on the reported subject. Our Powerhouse Economy will simply remain under loose Government Regulation and will not be under our Direct control. I do hope that this clarify the situation

Sincerely,
Jefferson Davis
Supreme Emperor
Chairman of The Supreme Governing Council

Official Communique

As the Londinian goverment might know, the Order of America is a member of the Soviet Commonwealth, and as such, we are bound by a treaty of honour to protect them.

I ask you to reconsider your stance and back down, or we will have to take measures to ensure that no harm comes to the Americans.

Official Communique

The Cynapsian Government would also like to emphasise to our long-term Soviet ally that membership of the Soviet Commonwealth emphasises democracy, peace and development. Under a semi-dictatorship such as that now in place within the American Empire, democracy has been eroded to virtually nothing and there is little safeguard against further infringment upon democratic rights by the Imperial American State except a "pledge" to an admittedly abolished Constitutional document.

In light of this, the United Socialist States of Cynapsia will have to seriously consider it's membership within the Soviet Commonwealth as to whether it truly reflects the Cynapsian policies of spreading the revolutionary Socialist ideals of peace, democracy, worker control and equality.

President-Kommissariat Maximillian Coltrane

Official Prestonian Statement

We mean the Soviet Government nor it's commonwealth no harm or offense. Quite the contrary, we hold good relations with several of it's members. We fail however to see how The Order of America's dictatorship by the bourgeoisie combined with the curtailing of free speech fits in with the communist theory. While we will not intervene militarily or economically due to more pressing concerns elsewhere, we ask you to talk some sense into your ally. We in the Prestonian Republic supremely doubt that others will be so kind.

OOC: I have explained it way to many times! Just because you have a Dictatorship does not mean you do not comply to the basic Principles of Democracy. My nations people do have free speech. The Media though is, under the Fairness doctrine, only able to present facts. The Economy is still under the former regulations and is under control of the people. The only Characteristic that our nation displays that would fall under Dictatorship is an all powerful group of Leaders. Other than this and a few small changes of form of Government my nation is in every aspect a democracy. The Parliament even voted to make this change!

Official Communique

The new American Goverment has committed no acts against it's citizens as of the moment, so we have no reason to shun or force it to change.

IF, and only IF they start doing things like committing genocide, violating the civil rights and the likes, only then, we will get involved.

Even if we shouldnt, as the Statutes of the Commonwealth have no effects on member's goverments, and there's an specific statute about getting involved in civil wars.

Trust us, we wont allow this new goverment to kill it's own citizens, the world would not allow it, and certainly, we that represent democracy and socialism around the world, will not stand it.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPREME EMPEROR
MR. GEORGE A. LOAK
We must remind British Londinium that last we checked, your nation was a radioactive wasteland with only a few hundred thousand survivors. How are you going to start a full scale blockade, and possible war, with that many people? I suggest that you back down as soon as possible, unless you want the rest of your surviving military to face the same consiquences that your nation faced a while ago.

OOC: Radioactive wasteland? What threads are you reading?

Mr Gannon,
You have roughly 48 hours to withdraw this declaration of war against our Ally or you will face the consiquences. They have stated that they will have elections, just in a longer time frame than before. How hard is it to understand that, or did you just look at the title of the message and the first few lines and say 'omg, a dictatorship'?

I suggest that you take a step back and think about this before you have millions of Shazbotdom Marines knocking on the front door to your Place of Residence and your Capital Building, whatever that may be called in your nation.

OOC: Radioactive wasteland? What threads are you reading?

OOC:
It's called Propoganda. Learn it well. And nice use of your puppet there BL.

We assure you this form of Government will NOT Impede the Basic liberties that should be demanded by all Peoples. The Supreme Council has announced that it is Debating on a Current piece of Legislation that would restrict the Council and the Supreme Emperor from passing future legislation that could possibly impede the Peoples Basic freedoms. The Supreme Council is also considering forming a revision of the Currently Abolished Constitution forming it back into law. The Power of The Supreme Council will remain even though basic restrictions will be included. The Restrictions being Considered are as Follows:


The Basic Liberties of The People of The OoA will under not Under any circumstances be destroyed or compromised
The Supreme Governing Council Will Not Pass Legislation without approval of The Emperor
The Supreme Governing Council Will not have any Input on The Citizen Controlled Economy other than basic regulations on Production Quality
The Emperor must seek Permission from the High Court in order to override any current Legislation or to declare war in any situation
The High Court Will determine if Any of The Statues Previously Stated have been Contradicted by any of the other Governing Bodies
The Supreme Governing Council is responsible for Dealing with all Government Funds.



I Hope that these Statutes that are close to being added to Our Constitution will Improve our Form of Government. I also hope that other nations will find this far more acceptable now that the all-powerful bodies are restricted slightly.

Sincerely,
Jefferson Davis
Supreme Emperor of The OoA
High Chairman of The Supreme Governing Council

OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM THE ARMED REPUBLIC OF TOORI
_________________________________________________________________


Though the people of the Toori find a dictatorship government type unwise and distastefull, the Consulate agrees it is in the best interest of the Toori to stand by the Imperial Order of America, in purpose of the dissability of the threats that have been made by other nations. If the threats escalate into further termoil, the Consulate, High Consulate, and the vote of the people have all agreed that Toori should envolve the use of military force to stand by the empire.


-High Consulate of The Armed Republic of Toori-

Official Statement

The Republic of Steel and Fire questions this new piece of legislation. What, exactly, will prevent the Supreme Council and the Emperor from jointly agreeing to override its first term and deny the people of America, say, the rights to free enterprise or expression? If the people cannot recall the Emperor and Supreme Council, and hold new elections for both positions before the 35 year term limit (which may as well not be a limit at all) has passed, then this form of government is indeed a dictatorship and one in continual danger of erosion of political and civil liberties simply because, in theory, it is possible for the imperial government to disregard its own laws.

Official Clandonian Response
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/madnukedude/clandoniansmallflag.png
Open Declaration:

His Majesty's Government would like to warn the nation of Shazbotdom of the grave, grave consequences should you continue with your sabre rattling against Central Prestonia. It will not be Central Prestonia who will be fearing your poor excuse of a military but more likely your own despot of a nation where Clandonian marines will be raising the flag on top of the smoking remains of your capital city.

You have been warned, threaten Central Prestonia and face brutal consequences on a scale that your people have never seen before.


God save the King


Prime Minister Sir David Sistilin

Greater Kingdom Economic and Foreign Office.


His Majesties government is concerned by the strange, child-like language used by the "nation" Shazbotdom, and requests that it tightens it's child labour laws as a result of the words "omg a dictatorship" being issued in a public statement.


Such bizarre language may result in intervention within the Nation of Shazbotdom, even if it is only airdropping copies of "English for Dummies" across the nation. Though, considering the language used, the person issuing the statement is probably one of the few people within the nation who can read.



Threats against nations within geographical proximity to the Greater Kingdom will not be tolerated.

Official Diplomatic Communique from the Ministry of External Relations and International Trade of the Federal Sultanate Duchydom of Franberry



His Excellency, President Geoli Joolitan, has found your pitiful threats to Central Prestonia most annoying. The rest of the Government has found itself to be in agreement with His Excellency's decision, and would like to take this opportunity to inform you that if you do not refrain from continuing your warmongering against the noble and freedom-loving nation of Central Prestonia, the consequences will be grave. If the Fiefdom of Shazbotdom would like to continue its meaningless and relatively pointless experience, it would be best that it not incur the wrath of anyone in the geographical area of Haven. For while Central Prestonia might seem weak before your masses of so called "soldiers", it would be rather amusing to see what those masses do against the most powerful combination of nations currently on this world.

IC:

Atal Amner scanned through the stack of news on his desk. A genocide here, a nuking there, all the regular stuff on NSearth, but something caught his eye. That aggravating little man.... Loak was it? But whoever he was, he seemed to be at it again, this time against Central Prestonia, for reasons unfathomable to the Prime Minister. He grabbed a fresh quill and some parchment, jabbing the power on the Fax Machine beside him. Jolt Ordinances of 20xx, guide my words.

Salutations Brothers and Sisters of the International Community

It has recently come to my attention that the nation of Shazbotdom, if it can be termed such, has voiced certain opposition to the nation of Central Prestonia. Rest assured, however, No Endorse will stand staunchly by the nations of Franberry, Midlonia, and Clandonia in supporting Central Prestonia from such inane drivel as "'omg, a dictatorship'."

Such language, a clear degradation of the proud English tongue so widely spoken on our great world, is an indicator of the level of society achieved within the territories known internally as Shazbotdom. It is unfortunate to view what were once humans in such a pathetic state, but if this current course of action is perpetuated any further, that state will be rapidly reversed. Let it be known to you that you have forty-eight hours (two complete cycles of the ball of fire in the sky passing overhead, "supreme emperor" Loak) to note the complete and total cession of any and all hostilities against Central Prestonia. You also have this time to indicate your willingness to stand down all military forces and to sign a binding treaty indicating non-aggression towards Central Prestonia henceforth. Violation of these terms will lead to extreme repercussions, as determined by how much ammunition we decide to expend.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPREME EMPEROR
MR. GEORGE A. LOAK
The Shazbotdom Empire will withdraw our threat against British Londinium when they withdraw their threat against our ally. Until then it will stand.

Official Statement of the Republic of Steel and Fire

The Republic of Steel and Fire is slightly confused. The original Prestonian message that caused all this uproar mentioned no declaration of war, indeed nothing but a rather vague "ultimatum", of which the results of non-compliance with are in dispute. Subsequently, Prestonia continued with "While we will not intervene militarily or economically due to more pressing concerns elsewhere", which should make clear the intentions of this ultimatum: At worst, Prestonia would throw OoA ambassadors out of the country. Apparently, "Supreme Emperor" George A. Loak took this as a declaration of war and began issuing threats, which in turn put us all up shit creek without a paddle, to put it crudely.

The Republic is past hoping for peaceful and diplomatic solutions. Instead, we offer an ultimatum of our own: the "Empire" of Shazbotdom will cease its inflammatory language and threats against just about anybody. In return, the assorted powers of Haven and their allies will also cease to use inflammatory language and threats (Sir Sistilin, I'm looking at you), save those which provide comedy value. If this is a threat contest, the Republic will put it three to one that it can outmatch anybody in this department; we advise all parties to stop making threats in general, lest we challenge you formally. If you intend to do something, please go ahead and do it, and spare us all the chatter.

OOC: To clarify, I had intended on placing an embargo on OoA. However, in the interest of not pissing off some of my friends in the SC, I decided to retract. As you can see Shaz, I have no intentions of being aggressive. Also, ICly you have yet to withdraw your threats.

The OoA has taken measures to ensure that Our Supreme Governing Council and Emperor do not become corrupt. One Measure to Ensure this is the Creation of The High Court which has been charged with maintaining the Integrity of the Council. The High Court is elected every five years. This as you can see clearly maintains the Power balance in our nation.

OOC:read past posts it is just like the US Constitution except a bit more localized.....

IC:

The OoA would like to point out to the International Community that it has no say in the way our Government operates. The People Vote, The Politicians represent that is how it has always been and how it always will be. Our nation considers this a Severe breach in the Sovereignty of our Empire. This breach is taken by our nation very seriously. We have done nothing to harm the fine peoples of this nation. We have in fact increased their civil rights. This Progression towards a fairer society will remain. We have never done anything to compromise our Peoples basic Liberties. Until we do the International community has no right to speak out against this nation. Votes remain in our nations, Legislature has been passed that would adopt and revise the Old constitution, The Council has been restricted by the people and the high court to ensure that they never become power hungry and corrupt. In every sense our nations democracy remains but in a much more diverse way. We request that all nations speaking out against our country Apologies. Our nation has committed No wrong.

Open Declaration of the Dictorial Republic of Sumer

How you govern your own people is the choice of your people, and no one elses. However, if you wish a word of advice from those of us who have existed for the time which you aspire to reign, our history has shown time and time again that the government which does not support it's people, does not last even a hundred years, let alone a thousand or ten thousand. In a thousand years time we shal see where you stand as a nation, and if you fare as well as us.

Official Diplomatic Reponse

We must warn you against the road you are taking Jeff, we believe that your new chosen form of government is an archaic one. We are still your allies somewhat, but we believe that democracy is better for the people in the end. We don't believe your empire will last for 10,000 years, for one, someone could destroy your empire well before then. But, we will leave you to it as they say.

Good Luck,
