Official Government Statement
From the Desk of the President-Kommissariat

Comrades and friends,

In an era where the Socialist Revolution stands constantly at threat from Capitalist and Fascist attack, a strong defence is needed to help defend the fruits of socialist progression from destruction by outside forces. The Red Army, with its Ground, Air and Naval forces, stand valiantly on the front-line of this defence, protecting the USSC from attackers, and do this job well. However, there are forces in play that are so extremely powerful, that conventional deterrence does not stop the Capitalist consider unconventional warfare.

To this end, the United Socialist States of Cynapsia formerly announces that it intends to invest ten billion Universal Standard Dollars into the construction, development and domestic production of nuclear weapons, giving the United Socialist States a powerful ability to deter would-be attackers from using nuclear weapons on our own state.

Today, the USSC takes one more step to ensuring the revolution becomes concrete, to ensuring the socialist progression is defended and protected against the Capitalist and the Fascist, and to ensure that the revolution lasts a thousand years.

Dear Fellow Comrades,

We support your decision to defend yourselves from foreign aggression through the development of nuclear weapons. We have seen too many a nation that has perished, because of their inability to defend themselves from insane Capitalist businessmen that only desire to extract natural resources and expand their much-vaunted markets, as so to maintain their dominance as the most important individuals in the world.

In Solidarity,

To the Government of the USSC,

We in Makaar feel it important that you note that, as a nation, we have taken military action against those who seek the proliferation of nuclear weapons before. Your nation would be no different.

We therefore advise you to end your nuclear research program immediately, and focus on a more conventional defence. Makaar can allocate 50 billion Sovereigns (OOC: $86.125 billion, or 608,455,900,000 Cynapsian Dollars, according to NSTracker converter) of arms funding to your nation this year, and up to 500 million sovereigns annually, in exchange for guarantees that you will not pursue a nuclear projects. Refusal to accept this most reasonable offer could lead to sanctions.

Open Declaration of the Dictorial Republic of Sumer

While your progression to that of a nuclear state matters little to us, we are concerned of the growing offensive nature of nuclear weapons by fringe groups within the world. As such, we would like to propose a deal with the United Socialist States of Cynapsia. If The USSC will bring into law legislation within itself which forbids the use of nuclear weapons in an offensive war, we will open our nuclear testing grounds and aspects of our nuclear test program in Northern Elam to your program. This will give you a safe and freindly way to test your devices in both atmospheric, underground, and even limited aquatic enviornments outside of your own population centres and the prying eyes of your enemies, while also allowing you some escape from the torrent of offences that is likely to stem from your recent declaration. This offer only stands as a componant to the legislation of non-aggressive use of nuclear weapons within your nation. It should also be advised that we take this approach quite seriously, and if such legislation were to revoked after the test period we may take it upon ourselves to remove your nuclear capability by force if nessecary.

However, for the interest of all involved, and the good people we thus far believe your nation to be of, we believe this offer could be deeply within your interest. We may even be willing to share limited technological resources with you pertaining to clean nuclear device design and construction, however that is a topic best left for a later date.

- Head of State, Dictator of Sumer, Priestess of Inanna,
Ridingir Kisikil Dumumiapuabiak Dumuaninatumak Urukak Leshbarkingdu Kalamak Ninuru

Signed: Kisikil Ninatuma

The People's Republic of Niasfl would like to show its full support for the USSC. We believe that the threat to the USSC and to comrades evrerywhere by capitalists is a growing problem. Any nation protecting the ideals of socialism has the People's Republic of Niasfl's full support.

The Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)


Dear Makaarian Diplomatic ministers,

We have the following issues to address with you.

We in Makaar feel it important that you note that, as a nation, we have taken military action against those who seek the proliferation of nuclear weapons before. Your nation would be no different.

Your country has no right to violate the sovereignty of another country for any reason imaginable, including the proliferation of nuclear weaponry. Just because your country feels that it is your right to play "policeman of the world", it does not mean that playing this role is an act that does not do anything other than to taint your image as a nation that does good things in the eyes of others throughout the rest of the world.

We do have a question to ask you and that is the following; would the nation of Makaar invade the Communal Union of Noveta if it decides to pursue the development nuclear weapons technology out of its own desires to cement the ability of the Novetan people to defend themselves from countries that object to the continuation of the glorious Novetan working class Revolution?

Is such an action just?

Is such an action fair?

Is such an action not Imperialistic?

Is such an action not Capitalistic?

And, does such an action not embolden the pound of the drums that sound off the cry of Makaarian Nationalism?

Come on now. If you do not want your image in the world to be continuously tainted by your actions, then we advise you to accept the fact that this is probably going to occur and we advise you to stop putting unnecessary demands that the industrial manufacturing capacity of your country can not possibly continue to meet and unnecessary demands unto the Makaarian working class, who is obviously being forced to take on the weight of the wars that your government constantly gets itself into. If you do not cease, eventually, the workers of Makaar will get fed up and would get rid of those who they see as rulers that are ignorant to their personal situations.

Of course, we are not threatening you. But this is just dealing with reality here.

Refusal to accept this most reasonable offer could lead to sanctions.

Again, your country has no right to violate the sovereignty of another country and thus, your country's demands are what we see as asking the Cynapsians to submit to foreign pressure, foreign pressure that is unnecessarily coming from countries such as yours, countries that have constantly proven that they have imperialistic ambitions.

Therefore, your threats of scantions are unjust and quite frankly, verbally imperialistic. Remember this, should the time come for the Communal Union of Noveta to pursue the same path, any demands that you may make, we will ignore.

Sincerely,
The Members of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)
Port-de-Révolution, Communal Union of Noveta

"Sir, intelligence report."

A clerk handed Prime Minister Brown his third intelligence report of the hour. This one consisted of one half-page message from Dostanuot Loj to the newest rogue empire to pass into the Makaarian radar, and a six-page analysis of its contents.

He thumbed through it slowly, then turned back to the long conference table where his military advisers had gathered to put together a plan of action.

"Gentlemen, a new twist has been added to our problem. Some tinpot dictatorship has complicated matters by offering Cynapsia a method of testing their weapons. Suggestions?"

"Increase our offer of financial aid" came one suggestion.

"Send a fleet and blockade Cynapsia. Don't let nuclear material in or out" came another.

-------------------------------------

The 5th Expeditionary Fleet recieved their orders only half an hour later; they were to sail to Cynapsia and blockade their coast.

OOC: 5th Expeditionary Fleet contents:

1 x King Charles class carrier (capacity: 120 aircraft - Makaarian design)
4 x Ticonderoga class cruisers equivalent
2 x Arleigh Burke class destroyers equivalent
4 x Spruance class destroyers equivalent
4 x Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates equivalent
6 x Astute class submarines equivalent

With various helicopters. King Charles class is a Makaarian design, a collosal ship paid for by an inflated military budget. It's designed to carry as many aircraft as possible and get them into the air as quickly as possible - two runways and four elevators operating with a below-deck hangar, as well as an electromagnetic catapult, accomplish this.

The standard Makaarian fighter is the F-44 Superwarrior. Think of the F-22, then make it faster and more maneuverable. That's what the F-44 has, though it obviously sacrifices some weapon load to accomplish this. The variety in use in the Navy is the F-44M, a stealth fighter designed to locate and destroy ground targets, though still extremely useful against airbourne targets.

OOC: I RP as Sumer, not Dostanuot Loj. I shifted long ago over, and never was able to create a new nation account because for some reason Sumer is reserved, but doesn't actually exist in NS. So yea.

It's easier to spell too, because even I have to remember how to spell Dostanuot Loj when I log in.

Although I do find your description of my nation funny, as I'm not even a dictatorship as you know it. But that adds spice to the RP.

Your country has no right to violate the sovereignty of another country for any reason imaginable, including the proliferation of nuclear weaponry. Just because your country feels that it is your right to play "policeman of the world", it does not mean that playing this role is an act that does not do anything other than to taint your image as a nation that does good things in the eyes of others throughout the rest of the world.

Our security, the security of our allies, and the security of all persons in the world in general are our primary concerns. People can think whatever they want of Makaar; as long as they aren't pillars of plate glass, we will know our work has been done.

We do have a question to ask you and that is the following; would the nation of Makaar invade the Communal Union of Noveta if it decides to pursue the development nuclear weapons technology out of its own desires to cement the ability of the Novetan people to defend themselves from countries that object to the continuation of the glorious Novetan working class Revolution?

Yes.

Is such an action just?

It is for the greater good.

Is such an action fair?

It is for the greater good.

Is such an action not Imperialistic?

We fail to see how, since we would eventually leave.

Is such an action not Capitalistic?

Your jaded socialist policies do not interest us. The very reason military intervention is economically feasible for Makaar is because we did not follow them.

And, does such an action not embolden the pound the drums that sound off the cry of Makaarian Nationalism?

Probably.

Come on now. If you do not want your image in the world to be continuously tainted by your actions, then we advise you to accept the fact that this is probably going to occur and we advise you to stop putting unnecessary demands that the industrial manufacturing capacity of your country can not possibly continue to meet and unnecessary demands unto the Makaarian working class, who is obviously being forced to take on the weight of the wars that your government constantly gets itself into.

The workers of Makaar have excellent lives, with salaries more than double those of workers in your nation. Our economy and welfare ensures that the lowliest Makaarian citizen is provided for. Not only that, but our industrial manufacturing capacity is more than enough to meet our needs in this sort of intervention.

If you do not cease, eventually, the workers of Makaar will get fed up and would get rid of those who they see as rulers that are ignorant to their personal situations.

That has not happened yet, and we fail to see it ever happening.

Of course, we are not threatening you. But this is just dealing with reality here.

OOC: Of course. Because the US is socialist now, right? Its people got tired of intervening everywhere and went ahead and revolted :P

IC: There is no reality to your statement. Makaarian workers are protected by all necessary laws. Just because we are a capitalist nation, does not mean our workers have a poor standard of life - indeed, compared to the average in your nation, our people have excellent life standards, supported by our capitalist economy.

Again, your country has no right to violate the sovereignty of another country and thus, your country's demands are what we see as asking the Cynapsians to submit to foreign pressure, foreign pressure that is unnecessarily coming from countries such as yours, countries that have constantly proven that they have imperialistic ambitions.

We offered the USSC money to be spent on conventional arms - a huge amount of money, in fact. We feel that is more than a fair compromise.

Therefore, your threats of scantions are unjust and quite frankly, verbally imperialistic. Remember this, should the time come for the Communal Union of Noveta to pursue the same path, any demands that you may make, we will ignore.

Then we shall not waste our breath offering you massive sums of money.

OOC: Yes, Makaar is heavily interventionist. Doesn't necessarily reflect my own point of view, remember.

Ministry of State

The Vetalian government supports the decision of the USSC to begin development of nuclear weapons, and is willing to commit aid, personnel, and equipment from our facilities to your country's program in return for economic investment opportunities for Vetalian companies and a pact of friendship and cooperation between our nations.

In addition, we will ensure that no government interdicts our shipments of supplies and personnel unless they wish to initiate a much larger conflict. Upon acceptance of this offer, we will begin immediate preparations to transfer $50 billion per year in equipment and 1,000 personnel to your country as advisers for your nuclear program. Undoubtedly this will accelerate your efforts and place your program under the protection of the Vetalian government.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

To the Government of the USSC,

A Makaarian fleet is now en route to ensure the confiscation of nuclear materials entering and leaving your nation and enforce Makaarian War Council Decision 55312.8/A, namely, the Initiation of Search of Vessels Entering and Exiting USSC Territorial Waters and the Removal of Materials which may be used in the Furtherment of a Nuclear Weapons Research Project.

We have also decided to increase our offer. 100 billion sovereigns will be allocated to your arms budget in exchange for your guarantee that no attempt will be made to construct nuclear weapons.

We await your reply.

Dear Cynapsia,

The Republic of Shiloba understands your need for nuclear weapons, but we disagree with what you are doing with them. We, as a nation do not support such weapons, and therefore, if you develop them, will be forced to take military action to remove them. Using nuclear weapons would make us further from world peace, and I am sure that the UN will not allow you to do this. Do not make such weapons, or we will take military action. We already have B-52
Bombers on their way to intel your nuclear power plants. If we do see, nuclear weapons, 80,000 Shiloban Soldiers, 5,600 Shiloban Cruise Tanks, and 2,400 Bomber Jets will move to take action against you. Please choose carefully.

Can't say we didn't warn you,
Amdar Melwasul - President of The Republic of Shiloba

Ministry of State

We must remind the parties opposed to Cynapsian nuclear weapons development that the majority of nuclear states have never used their stockpiles against other nations. Vetalia, for example, is hardly a peaceful nation yet our country has never used a single one of our 35,000 weapons on a foreign power. We only retaliate with nuclear weapons if we are attacked, and we trust Cynapsia to do the same.

If Cynapsia accepts our offer, we will begin immediate transmission of supplies to their nation and any attempt to interdict them will be seen as an act of war against our nation.

That may be true, but the fact remains that the weapons remain there to be used. Makaar uses low-yield nuclear-tipped anti-aircraft and anti-missile missiles to defend itself, but our offensive nuclear arsenal is long dismantled. We seek to reduce the proliferation of nuclear weapons among unstable nations, or nations unfriendly to the ideology of Makaar and which could possibly come into conflict with Makaar in the future.

As for your supplies, any attempt to break the Makaarian cordon of Cynapsia will be seen as an act of war and a threat to peace. We will be watching the maritime borders very closely, and any vessels entering will be stopped, searched, and materials providing for the construction of nuclear weapons will be confiscated.

Ministry of State

Given the scope of the Cynapsian nuclear program, even with our aid, we are hard pressed to imagine that they would be capable of building an offensive arsenal capable of any kind of real damage to a foreign power. The entire tone of their proposal and the resources allocated to it suggest that this is solely a retaliatory second-strike measure meant to defend their nation against hostile aggression.

Our country, mind you, is interested in this solely for the economic benefits we may receive from opening their markets to our investment. We will continue preparing for the shipment of supplies to Cynapsia, but we are still open to negotiations in regard to moving forward without conflict.

Official Communiqué - Federation of Caelapes - Ministry of Foreign Affairs

To the Makaarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

We call into question your authority to stop and search foreign vessels traveling through international waters bound for a harbor seemingly not under the authority of the Makaarian Government.

Any attempt to board Caelapene vessels traveling through international waters for any reason without the express consent of the Caelapene Ministry of Defense and National Security will be construed as an open act of piracy and will be met with an appropriate military response.

Given the scope of the Cynapsian nuclear program, even with our aid, we are hard pressed to imagine that they would be capable of building an offensive arsenal capable of any kind of real damage to a foreign power. The entire tone of their proposal and the resources allocated to it suggest that this is solely a retaliatory second-strike measure meant to defend their nation against hostile aggression.

Firstly, does the honourable representative of the nation of Vetalia understand what "nuclear weapon" means? Any nuclear weapon - even a single one - can do massive damage to a foreign power. The Makaarian capital is home to more than 300 million people, in a tightly packed urban area in high rise apartment blocks, all of them working not far from where they live in high rise offices. A single nuclear weapon of yield 10 kilotons could kill around 10 million; we estimate that a weapon of 10 megatons could kill every person within the city limits. That is real damage.

Just because their tone suggests they will not use the weapons in an offensive capacity, that does not automatically mean they should be trusted with any of these weapons.

Our country, mind you, is interested in this solely for the economic benefits we may receive from opening their markets to our investment. We would greatly prefer to avoid war, and will not challenge a blockade, but do feel they have a right to develop these weapons for their own self defense.

The orders for the blockade have been delivered. If you wish to avoid war, we suggest you order your ships to comply with Makaarian searches. Remember, only nuclear material will be confiscated; anything else will be allowed to pass through freely, so there is still an opportunity for economic benefits.

A single nuclear weapon of yield 10 kilotons could kill around 10 million; we estimate that a weapon of 10 megatons could kill every person within the city limits. That is real damage.

Yes, but not all weapons are the same. Defensive weaponry will not have the same range or yield as weapons designed for first-strike purposes, and we feel that the Cynapsian program does not have the scope our resources invested to produce offensive weapons. If they do, we can move forward from there, but in the meantime, they have not yet expressed any desire or commitment to create an offensive arsenal.

Nonetheless, your concern is noted. Vetalia City has over 70 million people and would be devastated by a foreign nuclear strike, along with the hundreds of millions of people within a small radius of the city.

Just because their tone suggests they will not use the weapons in an offensive capacity, that does not automatically mean they should be trusted with any of these weapons.

But it does mean they should be permitted to develop them. The scope and extent of their proliferation can be discussed upon the success of their program. Domestic prototypes of nuclear weapons will not pose a significant threat in and of themselves, but once they have successfully developed them we can move forward with negotiations on the extent of their nuclear arsenal.

The Cynapsians will develop nuclear weapons in due time, even with a blockade.

The orders for the blockade have been delivered. If you wish to avoid war, we suggest you order your ships to comply with Makaarian searches. Remember, only nuclear material will be confiscated; anything else will be allowed to pass through freely, so there is still an opportunity for economic benefits.

We cannot send anything until the Cynapsians agree to our proposal. However, we do not yet have a position on whether or not we will permit your forces to search our ships for nuclear material.

Nonetheless, if the Cynapsians are willing to give us economic concessions for non-nuclear aid or equipment, we would be perfectly happy to comply with your request. As said before, we are simply looking for opportunities in the Cynapsian market and a deal like this is an excellent way to grease the wheels in their government for favorable terms between our nations.

We call into question your authority to stop and search foreign vessels traveling through international waters bound for a harbor seemingly not under the authority of the Makaarian Government.

We do not recognise, nor are we party to, any international accords on the rights of any nations in international waters, besides those mandated by the UN; thus, we are free to levy any blockade we wish.

Any attempt to board Caelapene vessels traveling through international waters for any reason without the express consent of the Caelapene Ministry of Defense and National Security will be construed as an open act of piracy and will be met with an appropriate military response.

Given the difference between our two nations in terms of personnel numbers and ability to conduct combat operations on the high seas, I suggest you reconsider your tone.

Yes, but not all weapons are the same. Defensive weaponry will not have the same range or yield as weapons designed for first-strike purposes, and we feel that the Cynapsian program does not have the scope our resources invested to produce weapons

We feel that the "every little helps" mantra applies to the development of nuclear weapons; one is bad, but every dollar brings them a step closer to producing another.

But it does mean they should be permitted to develop them. The scope and extent of their proliferation can be discussed upon the success of their program.

So, we should let Cynapsia develop nuclear weapons, but not create them? It would be far easier to enforce a ban on nuclear weapons if they did not attempt to create them. Makaar will be watching, very carefully.

Domestic prototypes of nuclear weapons will not pose a significant threat in and of themselves, but once they have successfully developed them we can move forward with negotiations on the extent of their nuclear arsenal.

Or, we could conduct negotiations now, on the total banning of nuclear weapons within Cynapsia.

The Cynapsians will develop nuclear weapons in due time, even with a blockade.

"Every little helps".

We cannot send anything until the Cynapsians agree to our proposal. However, we do not yet have a position on whether or not we will permit your forces to search our ships for nuclear material.

Your position will be passed to the correct department. However, a stop-and-search policy will take place, no matter what your position.

Nonetheless, if the Cynapsians are willing to give us economic concessions for non-nuclear aid or equipment, we would be perfectly happy to comply with your request. As said before, we are simply looking for opportunities in the Cynapsian market and a deal like this is an excellent way to grease the wheels in their government for favorable terms between our nations.

We are perfectly willing to grant you economic concessions within Makaar, a developed and thriving market, in exchange for your guarantee not to deliver any materials to Cynapsia which could be used in a nuclear weapon. There is no reason we could not grant you the same deal as Cynapsia - arms money in return for your guarantee to stop your proliferation of nuclear weapons among as-yet undeveloped and unreliable states.

Dear Fellow Comrades,

In addition to supporting the development your nuclear weapons program, we would like to make an offer. As you may know, our country has virtually non-exploited and extremely rich amounts of uranium. If your nation possesses uranium-extraction industrial equipment, then we would be willing to be your main supplier of Uranium if you would provide us this equipment. If it is possible, then our relationship will expand from just a diplomatic relationship to an economic relationship as well.

There is no reason we could not grant you the same deal as Cynapsia - arms money in return for your guarantee to stop your proliferation of nuclear weapons among as-yet undeveloped and unreliable states.

If you can give us specifics of this deal, we would be very interested in pursuing such an agreement further. This is an extremely interesting proposal and it would be more than enough for us to completely disengage from the situation in Cynapsia, allowing you to proceed with policymaking in regard to their nuclear proliferation. As a result of this decision, the Vetalian offer to Cynapsia is temporarily retracted in favor of listening to the Makaar proposal. We will allow you to search any trade ships and will send no equipment to the USSC from this point forward.

We are eager to hear your proposal.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

The following lists procedures to be used by the Makaarian Navy when conducting a search of a foreign vessel heading for Cynapsia. This is to be forwarded to all governments with whom we have been in contact during this dispute.

PROCEDURES FOR THE SIEZURE OF SUSPECT OR CONTRABAND MATERIALS

1. Halting a vessel
The Royal Navy operates a three-warning policy with regards to halting a vessel. Three automated warnings will be broadcast on all frequencies, or if necessary, the ship's linguist will translate messages into the assumed language of the ship's crew based on its registry. Each warning increases in severity. The standard wording of each warning is as follows:

This is the HMMS [Vessel Name] of the Royal Navy of Makaar. This area is under cordon of His Majesty's Government. Please cut your engines and prepare to be searched.

This is the HMMS [Vessel Name]. You have disregarded our first warning. We are authorised to stop and search any vessel attempting to enter the cordon zone. You must cut your engines and prepare to be searched, or risk being fired upon.

This is the HMMS [Vessel Name]. This is your final warning. Cut your engines and prepare to be searched, or you will be fired upon.

RN ships are authorised to search any vessel entering within 10 nautical miles of Cynapsia's territorial waters. Note that captains may choose to forego the first or both the first and second warnings, if an incoming vessel is travelling at too great a speed to allow three warnings. No vessel in Cynapsian waters will be fired upon or searched, except in self defence, and no RN vessel may enter Cynapsian waters except to pursue aggressors, and before doing that must recieve permission from HM Naval Command in Makaar.

After the third warning, a vessel must reply. If it does not, the captain is authorised to open fire with all necessary force to stop the vessel and its cargo from reaching Cynapsia, even if this means the loss of the ship in question or the deaths of its crew.

2. Boarding a Vessel

Initial boarding is to be accomplished by a Royal Marines Search Team, who will board the suspect vessel and, using geiger counters, check the vessel for radioactive material. They will also open any containers they find and check inside. Containers which cannot be opened by hand or by readily available machines will be assumed to be carrying contraband materials and will be removed, their contents forfeited to the Makaarian government. If they cannot be safely removed from the suspect vessel, then they will be dumped into the ocean. Standard procedure is that these men are armed.

Radioactive materials discovered will be removed by a specialised Royal Marines Seizure Team, who will use specialised equipment so as not to endanger themselves or others while the material is removed. Standard procedure is that these men are armed.

3. After-Boarding procedures
The ship, its non-contraband contents, and its crew, will be allowed to continue into Cynapsian waters, or, at the discretion of the captain of the searching vessel, will be ordered to turn back.

If you can give us specifics of this deal, we would be very interested in pursuing such an agreement further. This is an extremely interesting proposal and it would be more than enough for us to completely disengage from the situation in Cynapsia, allowing you to proceed with policymaking in regard to their nuclear proliferation. As a result of this decision, the Vetalian offer to Cynapsia is temporarily retracted in favor of listening to the Makaar proposal. We will allow you to search any trade ships and will send no equipment to the USSC from this point forward.

We are eager to hear your proposal.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

Our proposal is a lowering of trade tarrifs between our nations, to allow for a freer flow of trade, at the very least. We are willing to listen to other suggestions you may have.

Equipment entering the USSC is not banned. Equipment which could be used in the construction of a nuclear weapon is. We strongly encourage that trade continues between Cynapsia and other nations.

To Cynapsia,

Due to the fact that you are going to develop nuclear weapons anyways, 27 Shiloban Attack Ships, are going to form a blockade around your western shore. Any ships who attempt to outrun the blockade, will be boarded, and over run. If nuclear weapons are found on board, they will be confiscated, and Shiloba will commence a full scale invasion against Caelapes.

The Republic of Shiloba

To the Makaarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Upon reviewing the situation and consulting with the Ministry of Commerce, we have been given the green light to extend the following offer to you.

The Seventh Carrier Battlegroup, a formidable unit of the Caelapene Aeronavy, is currently docked at Invercargill, British Londinium. We are prepared to send this battlegroup to waters outside of Cynapsia to assist your fleet in maintaining the cordon there, including naval and aerial support. If you agree to our offer, the Seventh will be resupplied and then sent immediately to assist your forces at Cynapsia.

The decision to extend to you this offer was made after reviewing the foreign policies of both Cynapsia and Makaar. We await your response.

Our government would pay a significant sum for this land, preferably a small island or area designated in territorial waters; we have the technical ability to construct an artificial island if that would be best for your nation.

The general vision for this program would be for it to function similarly to Macau, boosting your economy while also generating revenue for Vetalia. If you are interested in this concept, we would be willing to discuss it further.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MINISTER OF THE MILITARY
GRAND ADMIRAL JAMES E. ROCKENBACH
We believes that these threats against our allies in the Soviet Commonwealth are unwarranted, especially from those who threaten military action against them, for just the development of Nuclear Capabilities as a deterrent against foreign military powers that wish to destroy an economic type that has created many stable nations throughout the world.

We then ask the Nations that wish to blockade our allies of The United Socialist States of Cynapsia to rethink their decision as we will be sending the 4th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup to assist in transporting anything they need for their research into their nation. These ships have orders to not stop for any blockades of any sort.

If they are attempted to be boarded, they will not stop. Although, they will not fire unless they are fired upon. I would suggest that no one fires upon them.

The Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)


Dear Makaarian Diplomatic Officials,

Your reply is deeply troubling to this board, the representative of the various communes, communal districts, neighborhood assemblies and workplace assemblies that make up the Communal Union of Noveta and it is an indication that the attitude of your government reeks of both absolute superiority and arrogance.

It is truly a shame to see when a country, such as yours, claims to be both in favor of peace and of prosperity at one moment and then acts up in a grievous fit of militaristic rage, towards countries that are intent on defending themselves from foreign forces such as yours, through the use of nuclear weapons technology, the next, using the pretext of "Arbitration of Detrimental Conflicts that threaten Humanity's Existence" to expand your country's markets and, to expand your country's ability to make more countries a source of cheap, low-wage, "third-world" labor for you to exploit, while causing the workers of your country to suffer from the impending "Service Economy" that will eventually prevail over Makaar's economy and Makaar's subsequent de-industrialization, induced by the outsourcing of Makaar's industrial manufacturing capacity to the countries that it countries through the use of this excuse.

Just remember, we do not wish to be at the receiving end of your expressions of hegemonic imperialism and self-serving neo-liberalism. What we are asking for is for you to peacefully take into account the real risks that your country is running by violating Cynapsia's national sovereignty, especially when you take into account the fact that powerful, industrialized and socially, culturally and politically-developed countries such as Shazbotdom are allied with the United Socialist States of Cynapsia and are willing to defend its right as a sovereign nation to pursue the development of a nuclear weapons program.

If you wish to take into account the reality of the situation, then you will come to the understanding that acceptance and co-existence is the only way forward and the only way that Makaar can truly live up to its motto of both peace and of prosperity.

Otherwise, your country and its working class will eventually pay the same price that two other non-mentioned Fascist countries payed some sixty-two years ago. And we think that no country that has its head on its body would want to pay that price.

Sincerely,
The Members of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)
Port-de-Révolution, Communal Union of Noveta

OOC: Right, that's a day. I hope no one takes it as godmod that my fleet arrives by now, but I kind of want to get the RP moving and I don't particularly want to wait three months or so.

IC:

The 5th Expeditionary Fleet took up positions around the Cynapsian territorial waters, ships hands readying themselves for the mission. Already, small cargo ships were being stopped and searched, F-44s flying constant armed patrols in the air.

Back in Makaar, the government ignored the demands of Shazbotdom and the other nations. A short statement was released to the press detailing the actions taken by Makaar and the reasons - that it did not wish for another nation to gain nuclear power, and that it was taking steps to avoid it.

OOC: I take issue with the fact that no one noticed the OP hasn't posted since the topic started. I would think since the entire issue revolves around his continuing nuclear program, it would be good to see where he goes with all of this.

Regarding:Nuclear Development program

Dear Comrade,
I see you are in a position of defending our beloved states from the constant threat of the capitalist, fascist parasite which feeds of the economy of an long dead ideal. As such, I have a proposition.I have too, invested certain amounts of money in an effort to keep these scum from our lands, and I propose a joint nuclear strike program, consisting of an entire nuclear arsenal spread throughout all countries who will sign this proposition.
An entire defense network which will help ensure our noble ways will never die.I am sending (at great personal risk) my nuclear arsenal details and hope this letter will persuade you to sign up to the program which will ensure our ways, the right ways, live on in eternity.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM THE ARMED REPUBLIC OF TOORI


_________________________________________________________________



Reguarding the recent incidents around Caelapes, the people and the consulate are indeed very concerned. In responce to the Caelapian instigation of the manufacturing of their military's neuclear arsenal, though the people of the Toori dissagree with the ways of socialism, as long as they are proven to be used for defence, and defence only, meaning pure from instigation or self motivation to use them, we are unconcerned of your countries posession of these weapons. However, if we see actions indicating otherwise, we could easily, and would have no objection to, deleting your race from existance. We see no harm in your nation.


In reguards to the military blockade of Caelapian waters, and the seasing of international vessels by the government of Makaar, we somewhat respectfully urge you to withdraw your naval power. As your government may or may not know, the confiscating of a nations ships, or multiple nations ships, by the military of another nation in international waters is concidered not only piracy at the least, but an act of war. The confiscation of a nations ships, or multiple nations ships, by the military of another nation within national waters is clearly and unmistacably an act of war, and should be treated as such by the nations victomized by these acts.


Though you may or may not be aware, your nations brash and uncalled for militaristic intervension may indeed result in the deployment of the nuclear weapons upon your nation, that your people so flavorantly fear. As well, your supposed right to establish naval blockades where ever your government pleases, this is entirely and dangerously false. Reguardless of whatever rules are put forth by the United Nations, of which we are not a part of nor have any concern or reguard for, if a nation that exceeded your current nations power twenty fold were to establish a blockade of your waters, you most plausibly be crying for the sympathy of the international community. Though the Toori has no relations with either of your nations, any attempts to halt or confiscate any of our hardware will result in full bluntal, and merciless force.


Truthfully,


-High Consulate of The Armed Republic of Toori-

No, that's not how it works. You started your nation today - you don't just spring up with 86 nuclear missiles. I won't recognise any nuclear move made by your nation, since it's plain godmodding.

OOC: Concured

Reguarding the recent incidents around Caelapes, the people and the consulate are indeed very concerned.

Genocide?

In reguards to the military blockade of Caelapian waters, and the seasing of international vessels by the government of Makaar, we somewhat respectfully urge you to withdraw your naval power. As your government may or may not know, the confiscating of a nations ships, or multiple nations ships

We are not confiscating ships. We are confiscating cargoes which will be used in the construction of nuclear weapons.

by the military of another nation in international waters is concidered not only piracy at the least, but an act of war. The confiscation of a nations ships, or multiple nations ships, by the military of another nation within national waters is clearly and unmistacably an act of war, and should be treated as such by the nations victomized by these acts.

On the other hand, we may be saving hundreds of millions from nuclear annihilation. But you're right; it's morally correct to let them die so that international friendliness is preserved for another few years.


Though you may or may not be aware, your nations brash and uncalled for militaristic intervension may indeed result in the deployment of the nuclear weapons upon your nation, that your people so flavorantly fear.

Not if we stop them being built.

As well, your supposed right to establish naval blockades where ever your government pleases, this is entirely and dangerously false. Reguardless of whatever rules are put forth by the United Nations, of which we are not a part of nor have any concern or reguard for, if a nation that exceeded your current nations power twenty fold were to establish a blockade of your waters, you most plausibly be crying for the sympathy of the international community.

Yes, probably. That is why we do not antagonise nations twenty times our strength. We have given no nation reason to blockade us, and if one chose to, our navy and air force would be more than enough to destroy it. Cynapsia is welcome to attempt to break our blockade.

Though the Toori has no relations with either of your nations, any attempts to halt or confiscate any of our hardware will result in full bluntal, and merciless force.

If we discover any nuclear material in your ships, it will be confiscated, regardless.[/QUOTE]

OOC: Makaar, I assume we have a deal?

Genocide?

If their pathetic nation attempts to deploy a nuclear weapon, not only will our military use all means necissary to destroy the weapon, as well as countless other nations, their nation would invaded by the Toori, and their population would assuredly be decimated.


We are not confiscating ships. We are confiscating cargoes which will be used in the construction of nuclear weapons.

Reguardless, it is the property of other nations that is being taken. Such action may appear as an attempt to gain nuclear technology for your own use, though we highly doubt that would be the case with a nation such as yours. Do not missunderstand our point. We have briefly reviewed your nation, and deem it a good people with many core qualities we hold dear.


On the other hand, we may be saving hundreds of millions from nuclear annihilation. But you're right; it's morally correct to let them die so that international friendliness is preserved for another few years.

If your theory were proven fact, then you would most undoubtedly be correct. Recognizing that, we do see why your government wishes to remove their nuclear power. However, in our stance, we ask you to see that when dealing with a socialist nation as miniscuel as this one, it would be effortless to prevent the weapons detination, as well as the countries demise. Many nations, including the Toori, would surely make it certain that the weapon, even if deployed, does not reach its target.





Not if we stop them being built.

Our point being; by engaging yourselves in the blockade, you have drawn considerable attention to your nation. If the USSC possessed a list of high priority national targets, your nation is moving very rapidly to the top of that list.


Yes, probably. That is why we do not antagonise nations twenty times our strength. We have given no nation reason to blockade us, and if one chose to, our navy and air force would be more than enough to destroy it. Cynapsia is welcome to attempt to break our blockade.

Your claim be able to smight such a nation is irrelivent. Your nation is excessively larger than this socialist one. They stand no chance to such a military.



If we discover any nuclear material in your ships, it will be confiscated, regardless.

If you attempt to put that theory to trial, you will heavily regret it.

OOC: Guess I'll have to send the material by plane.

OOC: Guess I'll have to send the material by plane.

OOC: lmao, thats kinda funny

That is it. I am invading Cynasapia.

That is it. I am invading Cynasapia.

OOC:
I would advise against this. Unless you want me comming down upon you...

OOC: Firstly Makaar, Kartan can RP this out. A lot of countries start up as industrialized countries anyway. All they need to do to fully bring that into account is to establish that fact in their factbooks and other official stuff sometime later. That does not mean that they are suddenly reserved from becoming immediately involved in some RP. Hell, Cynapsia has been doing it, for he has only been on for over a period of almost three months (although he has went about it by developing certain aspects first), so it is kind of offensive to not take this fact into account and ignore what that nation is saying.

And secondly Makaar, Kartan sent it privately in a RP fashion, so that means that you or no one else has the right to confront him OOCly, because it was released to Cynapsia directly. It was not in the "public domain". If anything, Cynapsia should say something, because it is his RP and it is he that is directly receiving the offer.

OOC: Hey, sorry for a lack of response just yet - basically a combination of being back at University now, and being a UK student and therefore on a different time zone from the majority of posters here. I will write a detailed response later tonight to get things moving on my end, but please bear with me a little longer.

That is it. I am invading Cynasapia.

This is the Rogues of Aiur, we have recently discovered Xel'Naga artifacts in Cynasapian territory should you invade you would undoutbly destroy them this we can not allow! we hereby extend and invitation to the Cynasapian goverment that in exhchange for the artifacts we will give them advanced nuclear technoilogy as well as improved coventinal weaponry, know this we are few in nmber but our technology is beyond your capablities and our milita would easily take care of your military prowess, we also extend a hand to any other nations promising economic, military aid in exchange for such artifacts

OOC:If you don't mind, I'll fix the above post

This is the Rogues of Aiur, we have recently discovered Xel'Naga artifacts in Cynapsian territory. Should you invade you would undoutbly destroy them! This we can not allow! We hereby extend and invitation to the Cynapsian goverment that in exchange for the artifacts, we will give them advanced nuclear technology as well as improved coventional weaponry. Know this. We are few in number but our technology is beyond your capablities and our milita would easily take care of your military prowess. We also extend a hand to any other nations promising economic and military aid in exchange for such artifacts.

OOC: Guess I'll have to send the material by plane.

OOC:

Good luck with that. You'll be sending pretty small amounts and wasting a lot of fuel in the process. Also notice my air force is patrolling the seas around Cynapsia as well... though if you flew in over land, I wouldn't be able to stop you without simply entering Cynapsian territory. :P

OOC: Firstly Makaar, Kartan can RP this out. A lot of countries start up as industrialized countries anyway. All they need to do to fully bring that into account is to establish that fact in their factbooks and other official stuff sometime later. That does not mean that they are suddenly reserved from becoming immediately involved in some RP. Hell, Cynapsia has been doing it, for he has only been on for over a period of almost three months (although he has went about it by developing certain aspects first), so it is kind of offensive to not take this fact into account and ignore what that nation is saying.

Actually, in one of the stickies, it specifically mentions nations who just spring up with nuclear weapons. Cynapsia is trying to RP researching nuclear weapons right now - they didn't just skip the research phase and pop into existence with 80-odd warheads.

And secondly Makaar, Kartan sent it privately in a RP fashion, so that means that you or no one else has the right to confront him OOCly, because it was released to Cynapsia directly. It was not in the "public domain". If anything, Cynapsia should say something, because it is his RP and it is he that is directly receiving the offer.

You've taken the line between knowledge and metagaming way too far. IC, I have no idea that message was sent. OOC, I do, and I have a problem with it OOC. I don't see that it's a coded message, then not read it. My IC guys have no clue that Kartan sent the message, but I do OOC, and my post was in OOC.

Don't know if that made sense, but trust me - if you have a problem OOC with something someone said IC, it's ok to complain in OOC. That's not metagaming.

As for "public domain", yes it was. He should have sent a TG or something if he didn't want other people in the RP to be able to read it. By making the offer, he adds something to the RP, which I and anyone else am free to confront him OOCly about, even if IC we have no knowledge of it.

For example, I send an invasion force to Cynapsia comprised of 150 trillion soldiers, 900 billion tanks and 10000000000000000000000 fighters. Is it therefore wrong for anyone else to call me on it, since I was relating in an RP fashion direct to Cynapsia?

OOC: Okay, been working on this over today. I apologise again for being slow, but lectures and Uni work get in the way.

IC:

'The confrontation with capitalist forces over the development of nuclear weapons by the USSC was to prove an important turning point in the history of the Cynapsian nation. As their leaders decided upon which strategy to take, they knew intimately that the next few days would determine the course of Cynapsian history and the fate of the USSC itself.'

~ 'Blood in the Sand: A History of Cynapsia' by Walter Cartwright.

"Mister President-Kommissariat, I think we should give in."

The statement caused eyes all around the Cabinet table to turn towards its source, Kommissariat for Education Emily Waiter. She sat forward, her hands together on the desk, staring defiantly at the Head of State through thin wisps of cigar smoke drifting through the air. The eyes regarded her, some with sympathy, some in shock, all in interest. Then they turned back to the head of the desk.

Max Coltrane did not say anything for a few moments, instead using the time to tap the ash from the end of his Monte Cristo into an ash tray. Over his head as a gigantic painted wall mural of the USSC's coat of arms, bright and proud against the burnt red panelling of the rest of the room. Along the eastern wall was a large disply, being given life by a projector that whirred monotonously on the desk. General Marshal Simon Delalande, Chairman of the Red Army High Comand, stood quietly with a laser pointer in one hand, having just finished describing the situation on a large map of Cynapsia and its territorial waters, with various notes on the disposition of enemy forces in the area. A half-empty jug of water stood in the centre of the table, surrounded by a formation of clear, crystal glasses.

Coltrane delicately placed the cigar on the lip of the ash tray and leant forward, steepling his fingers. "Well, I'm glad someone had the courage to bring it up," he said, glancing around the table at the other Kommissariats. Coltrane then leaned back and looked squarely at Waiter. "Why?" he asked simply.

Waiter cleared her throat. "Sir, our conventional forces defend our homeland admirably, and I would never criticise their work." She gave a referral glance at Delalande. "However, the amount of attention this is attracting leaves our forces - particularly the Naval Branch - vastly outgunned, and leaving our homeland under threat." Waiter licked her lips. "I do not think the risk is worth it."

"With all due respect for the Kommissariat for Education," Brian Callahan, Kommissariat for Defence interjected with a wide gesture of his hands, "this posturing and threatening is exactly why we need such a deterrent, and indeed a strong military force both in conventional and unconventional terms of warfare." He looked around, gaining approving nods. "We cannot allow ourselves to be bullied and controlled by the Capitalists that seek to destroy our capability to defend and spread socialist progression."

Kommissariat for Foreign Affairs Brian Duchoy shook his head. "I disagree," he said. "We are being offered some very interesting economic benefits in exchange for nuclear development." Duchoy spread his hands. "We should not look a gift horse in the mouth."

There was a general murmer of conversation around the table. Cigar smoke drifted higher towards the light. The crystal caught the glint of the sun.

"That's not the point," Coltrane said. The rest of the room went silent as the President-Kommissariat took a drag from his cigar and exhaled. "Whilst I agree with the points being made by all parties here," he said, "I feel that several of you are missing the big picture." Coltrane leant forward on the table. "Yes, there are economic benefits to giving up nuclear weapons," he conceded, "and yes, there are dangers in facing up to these neo-liberals. But this is far more important that that." Coltrane gestured with his cigar. "This is a precident. This decision will affter our ability to decide national sovereign policy for the USSC for the next ten years. If we stand down on this, we are going to look weak and malleable to those overseas on all sides, unable to control our own destiny." Coltrane leaned back. "I say we call the vote. Is there a second?"

There was. The Cabinet Voted. Nine in favour, three against. The program would continue.

Official Government Message
From the Desk of the President-Kommissariat

Comrades and Friends of the World, and Capitalists,

The United Socialist States of Cynapsia, after careful consideration through cabinet debate and a democratically representative vote, has decided clearly that we will not be held up to ransom by Capitalist forces. However, we do not wish to provoke a conflict with the forces currently attempting to blockade our homeland. No act of war has occured, nor has there been an encroachment of Cynapsian territorial waters. With this in mind, the Cynapsian Government officially refuses to recognise the forces outside of Cynapsian waters as a de jure blockade and therefore does not consider this move an act of war, allowing the Capitalist governments the chance to step back without a shot being fired.

Several cargo vessels from the Cynapsian Red Army Naval Force (RANF) Merchant Marine will be departing Port New London to arrive on-station one mile within Cynapsian territorial waters. They will be escorted by combat vessels of the RANF, and will be met and escorted out of Cynapsian waters by the Shazbotdom 4th Naval HAVOC Battlegroup, which has full permission to enter Cynapsian waters, and then escorted to Noveta to deliver equipment for the purpose of uranium enrichment. We will not initiate any hostile activity. However, any harrassment of Cynapsian vessels will be responded upon in a manner deemed appropriate by the given situation.

President-Kommissariat Maximillian Zachary Coltrane.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: 4th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup, Anchored 8 hours from USSC Territorial Waters
The Bridge of one of the Archon-class Super Dreadnaughts was abuz with activity. Orders were pouring out of the Deck Officers mouth as the Admiral was standing there, staring out the window. Anchors all across the fleet were being raised as the ships were preparing to depart for the territorial waters of their allies in the USSC.

Admiral Gregory T. Henderson, Veterine of the Shazbotdom Imperial Navy, began thinking. Would the 200 ships of the fleet be enough to protect the Allied Ships from harm? He was sure it would be enough.

"Deck Officer!" Henderson said. "Order the subs to go on ahead to scout out what's going on. Have them use the ELF Frequency to report back to the fleet. I also want the Thunderbolt's in the air as soon as possible, Understood?"

"Sir, Yes Sir!"

The Deck Officer then ran off to the communications station to relay the orders to the rest of the fleet...

OOC: Cynapsia, that post was a pleasure to read. I really like the quote from history textbooks idea. If I'd thought of it first, I'd do it now.


IC:

"We don't have the numbers to take them on."

Commodore West looked at the sonar display and watched the blips slowly move. He knew the numbers of the Shazbotdom fleet; he had been given enough ships to blockade a coast, rather than to take on a fleet with ships of equal strength.

"Signal Makaar, ask for reinforcements. We need at least 200 vessels here, we've only got 50. In the meantime, pull back; that statement - they're sending ships through the blockade."

"Sir, those weren't our orders," said one lieutenant.

"Our orders weren't to die, either. We have standing priority orders, and those are to avoid engaging a force unless specifically ordered. Helmsman, take us 5 kilometres from the maritime border, and order all other ships to follow us. Inform Makaar of the situation and ask for more ships. A battlefleet should do it."

-------------------------------

In Makaar, the 8th and 10th Battlefleets, each comprised of 150 capital ships and a number of smaller attack ships, set sail for Cynapsia. Their arrival would resume the blockade.

"Hmm, it appears that the blockade is being resumed. This situation is rapidly approaching armed conflict, Emperor."
"Oh, that's excellent, Proconsul. I take it our agreement with Makaar has not yet been finalized?"
"Not technically, your Highness. We still have it on the table."
"Good, good. Perhaps we should adjust our bargain, get a little more out of this."
"I will draft it immediately, sir."

Ministry of State

Although we previously expressed our interest in standing down in this conflict in exchange for concessions, we have decided to reevaluate the situation and increase the amount needed to buy our disengagement. We will not test your blockade and will not ship any of the previously mentioned equipment to Cynapsia if you explicitly grant us the following:

1. Preferential trade concessions in Makaar and its dependencies, above and beyond that granted to any other nation.

2. A 300 square kilometer land or sea-based permanent concession for development in to a sovereign Vetalian trade city, more commonly known as an Enclave.

If you do not grant these, we will be forced to resume activity in the area, perhaps even committing forces if it is necessary to defend our ships. Grant us our requests, and we will not only stand down but will actively work to achieve a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

1. Preferential trade concessions in Makaar and its dependencies, above and beyond that granted to any other nation.

Not possible. We can grant you the best options we have, but we cannot provide you with better than certain economic partners.

2. A 300 square kilometer land or sea-based permanent concession for development in to a sovereign Vetalian trade city, more commonly known as an Enclave.

Sea-based? Granted. You may have the 300 square kilometre sea-based permanent concession for development into a sovereign Vetalian trade city. This particular 300 square kilometre zone is 312 kilometres off our shore. Enjoy your new ocean. We will miss it dearly.

If you do not grant these, we will be forced to resume activity in the area, perhaps even committing forces if it is necessary to defend our ships. Grant us our requests, and we will not only stand down but will actively work to achieve a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

You will take what you have been offered or you will recieve nothing.

Ministry of State

We accept your offer, and consider our business here to be at an end. We will commence exploration and development of our territory as soon as possible.

Regards,
Proconsul Eveginy Alabayev

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Vetalian government, naturally, was somewhat chagrined at the blatant loophole it had placed in its agreement, but nonetheless they were going to use their 300 square kilometers of ocean to build the biggest trade city ever constructed. Mind you, it would also be the richest, most opulent, and most morally decadent in the area, a monument to of the greed and wealth of its owners.

However, there were still some major barriers to progress...

"What on Earth are we going to do with 300 square kilometers of ocean?"
"It's not too deep, apparently on the continental shelf, but still...it's in the middle of nowhere."
"Nice weather, though. I imagine it will be a tourist hub in due time, especially with the whole 'floating city' angle. Plus, it'll be a supply hub for the navy and mercantile ships in the area..."
"Perhaps. It shouldn't be too hard to develop technically speaking, but it'll be costly."

"Still, a base is a base, and it'll enable us to keep an eye on the area...or close it to traffic if the need arises. In addition, the government has apparently lifted many of the restrictions on illegal goods, so that should be a big draw. We'll have enough manpower to keep crime under control, though."

"Yes, of course. Viceroy, we will be sending you and your staff out to survey the area, and the Emperor has insisted that construction begin in no more than one year."

OOC: Cynapsia, that post was a pleasure to read. I really like the quote from history textbooks idea. If I'd thought of it first, I'd do it now.

OOC: Thankyou, I very much appreciate the compliment. :)

Just a short post to move things along for me a bit before I go to bed.

IC:

Military bases across Cynapsia were a bustle of activity. A full deployment of troops was underway, and the cacaphony of noise and activity was brutal as soldiers prepared to deploy. The entire bulk of the Cynapsian Ground Forces was to deploy to pre-planned defensive positions around major Cynapsia cities, seaports and beach heads in order to halt any potential invasion force. At Red Army Airforce Bases, Mig-29s and -23s roared into the sky on Combat Air Patrols over Cynapsian territory, with many others fuelling on the taxi-ways in case of a potential scramble alert. Tu-22M Backfire Bombers were taking to the sky, loaded with Raduga Kh-22 Anti-Shipping missiles, heading for pre-determinded "Failsafe" points on the Cynapsian shorelines, supported by Il-78 Tankers taking off close behind. Beriev AWACS cruised the skies above Cynapsian coastlines, adding their radars to the land-based system already in operation.

The Cynapsian Red Army Naval Forces were sortieing, with four large Cargo vessels loaded with equipment being escorted by 2 Kirov Class Battlecruisers, 3 Slava Class Cruisers, 8 Ulyanov Class Destroyers, 8 Romeo Class Submarines and 5 Osa Class Missile Boats, heading for their stand-by point in South-Eastern Cynapsian waters, one mile within their territory. There, they would wait for the Shazbotdom naval forces that approached. The remainder of the Cynapsian fleet departed to protect various seaports.

In the meantime, civilian plans were being put into place. Radio and Television programs began to announce the possibility of invasion, and gave instructions on "duck and cover" routines and rudimentary bomb-shelter design. Non-essential government offices were being evacuated, and important Kommissariats began moving important documents to lock-rooms within each building, with orders to burn the documents should an invasion be looking successful.

The country moved one step closer to war, and the people held their breath as the clock continued to tick.

OOC: I meant to post this yesterday, but I had more important things to take care of.

IC:
Port-de-Révolution - Official Office of the FABPACUN

Denis Marceau, a member of the Foreign Affairs Board of the Popular Assembly of the Communal Union of Noveta (FABPACUN), was working in the faxing room with his co-worker, Daniel Debarge, sending and receiving faxes of communiqués and responses to these communiqués, when the fax of the Cynapsian announcement began to come in. After the fax was complete, Denis said to Daniel, "Daniel, take over for me, I have to get this message to those in the meeting room."

Daniel said, "What is the message about, Denis?" Denis then said, with a look of seriousness and absolute importance in his face, "It is from the desk of the head of state of Cynapsia, President-Komissariat Maximillian Z. Coltrane, and it is about the our country's involvement in their nuclear program and the action that is being taken by a certain Capitalistic heap of trash against Cynapsia."

"Ah. Can I see it for a minute?" says Daniel. Denis then says, in a increasingly impatient manner "Ok, Ok. Just hurry, this needs to reach the others as soon as possible." "Ok." Daniel says.

In the official document, it states exactly that;

Comrades and Friends of the World, and Capitalists,

The United Socialist States of Cynapsia, after careful consideration through cabinet debate and a democratically representative vote, has decided clearly that we will not be held up to ransom by Capitalist forces. However, we do not wish to provoke a conflict with the forces currently attempting to blockade our homeland. No act of war has occured, nor has there been an encroachment of Cynapsian territorial waters. With this in mind, the Cynapsian Government officially refuses to recognise the forces outside of Cynapsian waters as a de jure blockade and therefore does not consider this move an act of war, allowing the Capitalist governments the chance to step back without a shot being fired.

Several cargo vessels from the Cynapsian Red Army Naval Force (RANF) Merchant Marine will be departing Port New London to arrive on-station one mile within Cynapsian territorial waters. They will be escorted by combat vessels of the RANF, and will be met and escorted out of Cynapsian waters by the Shazbotdom 4th Naval HAVOC Battlegroup, which has full permission to enter Cynapsian waters, and then escorted to Noveta to deliver equipment for the purpose of uranium enrichment. We will not initiate any hostile activity. However, any harrassment of Cynapsian vessels will be responded upon in a manner deemed appropriate by the given situation.

Daniel's facial characteristics then changed from being one of unawareness to one of surprise. "Here, you can have this back." he said. "I will cover. Get it to them. Hopefully, the guys in the room will send out a response that will send out some kind of threat, some kind of warning, that is capable for our current situation."

Denis opens the door, enters the main hall, turns towards the east end of the hall and runs rapidly towards the door at the end, the door that led into the meeting room of the office, where everyone else who was both a member of the FABPACUN and was not doing anything that was important, was gathered. Most of the time, these members discussed the events taking place in the world and the kind of responses that they would give to these events in the name of the Communal Union of Noveta, while sitting around a big, long, but not too long, rectangular-shaped table and, were placed with the responsibility of certifying FABPACUN documents when the Chief Diplomat was away on business.

Denis entered the meeting room, panting a little from the distance he had to run from the faxing room to the meeting room, which is, in fact, a quite long run, and says, "Everyone, I have news! I just received a fax of an announcement from the Cynapsian head of state!" He handed the document of the announcement to a person sitting at the end of the table and began the cycle of rotation. A half-hour later, everyone around the table read it and then, they began to discuss to discuss what kind of action to take. They composed a response and a few minutes after the response was composed, Denis came back and put the response through the faxing machine;

The Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)



To Our Comrades, Friends and Opposition,

It is the opinion of this board that the actions of a certain nation, the action of blockading a country that has the right to pursue its own course without the interference of foreign influence, has proven that this certain nation has abused the power that they have been allowed to develop and that this certain nation has shown that they wish to continue to put their people's very existence at risk, so that they can fulfill the dreams of empire. Therefore, it is the cry of this board, the representatives of the various communes, communal districts, workplace assemblies and neighborhood assemblies that make up the Communal Union of Noveta, for all countries that are trading with this certain nation, the Monarchial Assembly of Makaar, to impose an all-out embargo upon this nation until such time it comes to its senses and allows the nation that it is blockading, the United Socialist States of Cynapsia, to resume its existence as a sovereign country, both in its totality and in perpetuity.

It is also the opinion of this board that the Communal Union of Noveta welcomes the shipment that Cynapsia will provide to the Communal Union as so to develop its untapped and extremely rich reserves of Uranium and to certify the participation of the Communal Union of Noveta in the nuclear program of the United Socialist States of Cynapsia. We feel that by working together, the Communal Union of Noveta will be able to industrialize itself and become a real Communist country - and - the United Socialist States of Cynapsia will be able to focus more into its heavy and light industries to deepen the industrialization that it has already experienced to an even greater extent. We also feel that by working together, we will help to break down the chains that currently bound each and every human being.

Sincerely,
The Members of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)

Official Government Message

The United Socialist States would like to express an offer to opposing nations in this particular crisis to back down before unneccesary lives are lost in a matter that has already been decided. Cynapsian vessels being escorted to Noveta are under heavy protection, and threats of invasion by any nation onto Cynapsian territory will be met with the full strength of the Soviet Commonwealth, as has been seen in the matter of Shiloba's threats to invade Cynapsia. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=539365&highlight=Cynapsia) The situation has been resolved. Remove the blockading forces before sailors die in what is for you a pointless battle.

IC:
SCENE: 4th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup; 2 Kilometers from Blockade
The main guns of the 5 Super Drednaughts were armed and ready, scanning the horizon for any possible bogies while the Triple A was looking for any stealth aircraft that was to threaten the fleet. The various other ships were also on full aleart while the subs slammed away with their active sonar, looking for any possible submerged enemies.

Dozens of Thunderbolt class Assault Fighers were being prepped and some launched and flying in defensive patterns around the fleet, looking for any aircraft that could be considered hostile to the fleet. This 200 strong battlegroup is the main force responsible for the defence of the Merchant Marines of the USSC who were to transport equipment and supplies needed for the proliferation of detterance nuclear weapons.

"Sir!" A private yelled as he ran out to the observation deck of the main SD. "We've spotted the Fleet on radar. They are holding position ahead of us."

"Push through."

"Yes, Sir!"

With that. General Quarters was sounded on all ships and they kept going, heading towards the Blockade that was set in place to keep the Shazbotdom Allies in the USSC from the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons...

Dear Cynapsia,

Can't say we didn't warn you,


HOORAH!

"Sir!"

Admiral Peter Ohan turned as the crewman entered the CnC of the Kirov-Class Battlecruiser CN Lenin, the flagship of the fleet protecting the Merchant Marine. He took the printout from the crewman and studied it for a moment.

"So, the Shazbots are here," he mused, before walking across to a Radar station. Hundreds of blips apppeared on the screen, the majority of which were currently green to depict allied forces. Ohan nodded. "Signal the fleet to General Quarters," he ordered. "Do not fire on the blockading fleet unless they attack either the Shazbot's, ourselves or the Merchant Marine."

All across each vessel, sirens whooped and crewman ran to their positions. Telegram messages were sent out to both allied and enemy fleets.

On the mainland, Cynapsian Red Army forces were in the process of digging in around major cities and seaports. Vehicle and Infantry obstructions were being constructed along the main roadways into each large populated area, and were also set up within the city along the main roads. The majority of the Red Army Ground Forces were deployed outside the cities, although some infantry and armour was deployed within the city limits for possible riot control and to protect against possible break-ins. Red Army Airforce fighters roared through the skies, searching for possible aircraft attack. Tu-22M Bombers, loaded with anti-shipping missiles, cruised at their fail-safe points over Cynapsian territorial waters. Government contingency plans were being completed, with important documents having been moved to safer locations, and the Cabinet were being moved to a secure command bunker below the Presidential Palace, where a potential war could be handled with greater safety.

I'm waiting for Makaar to respond to my fleet movement before I do anything else.

OOC: Makes sense. Just checking as to whether he's still Rping in this or not, because I can't really do some other stuff if I'm being blockaded.

OOC: Okay, Makaar hasn't logged into NS for 6 days now, according to the NS homepage. Given that I do not wish to be hanging in limbo forever, if he has not replied within the next two days, I'm going to assume he has no further interest in RPing in this thread and that his vessels take no action against any vessels and back down.

[ Time for another splendid short, victorious war, I see. Consider my post made before the corps of corps of corps were mobilised, then; this is just another something I wanted to write, more as an opinion piece than anything. ]

Adygean Foreign Ministry

To the Cynapsian Foreign Minister, [or whomever it is this should go to—your postal types can figure that one]

+++In reply to Cynapsia's proposed plan for a nuclear programme, both I and and my government would like to take the time to strongly advise against such a move. It is with great care that countries should handle weapons of this calibre, and often it is that steps taken for defence will be instead taken as an offensive measure.
+++Consider: there are two reasons, to borrow from my Saudi counterpart, why countries develop nuclear weapons. The first of these is to intimidate another country; the second is that those countries who have been intimidated, or who feel that they have, develop nuclear weapons as a deterrent. At one point, this reciprocal system must stop, or the whole world's progress toward a safer environment for all peoples will be threatened, even by those who feel they are merely protecting themselves, and the arms race shall go on unabated, until death flows from our nostrils to drown us in its sorrows and permeates the air, choking us. I urge you, Minister, to have courage and to stand tall in the face of belligerent nations without the use of weapons of such terrible magnitude, and to have faith that sanity, foresight and, yes perhaps, revolution will overthrow those schoolyard bully governments which wield their arsenals of tremendous destruction as a small child might play with a complex toy which he is not prepared to understand.
+++There is no room for this escalation of weaponry if there is to be a future for our race, the human race. Please, Minister, consider that your government not only sends its own current demography into deeper, darker and more terrifying waters if it should enact this plan, but that it also sets a pattern for years, perhaps decades, to come, and that it damns those of other countries in a similar fashion, who decide to retaliate with building more bombs.
+++Recall your humanity, Minister, and heed my advice. Be the bigger man. Stop the contests. Help to end this nightmare situation into which the world, each day, descends deeper and deeper. Do not let your people build these weapons.

With Most Sincereness,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Adygea

The People´s Republic of Burlovia wishes to help her comrades, and a fleet of 200 Somonov type destroyers (carries 2 helicopters ea, one battleship cannon+smaller cannons, 2 aa turrets), aircraft carriers Alpha and Epsilon and 2 Fallout nuclear submarines. They are escorting 10 transport ships with nuclear material towards your western shore. We are willing to sell you nuclear material for cold cash. We close in to the blockade only if you accept our offer. If you do, we will escort the ships through the blockade and give any military support you require. If you don´t, we will leave our Fallout submarines to the area to give you strategical aid in case a conflict arises. We hope that our comrades can defend theirselves from war monging capitalists. Consider our offer.

OOC: Sorry, was away.

IC:

"Do we fire?"

"No, lieutenant. No we do not."

The vessels sailed through the blockade without any loss of life. As the last vessels cleared the blockade, the Admiral turned and nodded to a crewman, who pressed a button on his control panel sending a single wordto

In Makaar, an RM-130 transport plane loaded with the Royal Marines Special Operations Team. Each armed with an SA80 Carbine and equipped with C4 explosives and a parachute, they were the last hope Makaar had in stopping the dangerous proliferation of nuclear weapons.

The plan was fairly simple. A single submarine would tail the enemy fleet until they arrived in Noveta. The aircraft would arrive in Noveta around the same time as the fleet, using its stealth to evade detection as the 40 parachutists on board dropped into the port and waited for the trucks to depart the port, at which point they would, using their training and equipment, assault and destroy the convoy. Several troops had anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-helicopter rocket launchers with them, others were armed with heavy machine guns to take out any troops on the ground.

The soldiers would then discard their gear and, posing as ordinary tourists, would catch a flight to another country, and from there to Makaar.

The Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)



Dear Comrades, Friends and Oppositionists,

We would like to issue a warning to the Monarchial Assembly of Makaar and its allies and that is this; if the Monarchial Assembly of Makaar attempts to destroy, in any shape, form or fashion, an instrumental part of the Novetan Industrial Revolution (La Révolution Novetien Industrielle), that is, the uranium extraction equipment that is being delivered to the Communal Union as so to allow the Communal Union to participate in the Cynapsian nuclear weapons development program, during any part of its journey from Cynapsia to the Communal Union, it will be considered as an attempt to violate both the economic and political sovereignty of the Communal Union of Noveta and will be a requisite for this board to take its case to its allies in the Soviet Commonwealth and our neighbors in the region that we reside in, as so to convince our allies, in both the region and the Soviet Commonwealth that Makaar has threatened the existence of the Communal Union as an independent polity and because of this threat, war must be declared on the Monarchial Assembly of Makaar and its allies.

That is all.

Sincerely,
The Members of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)

OOC: Yes, not only has the post I said above NOT YET HAPPENED, but you also have NO IC knowledge of it... yet. And once you do, my government will deny all involvement and the soldiers, if you capture them, will claim to be subversives within your own nation.

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, I misread your post. The above still applies, but it doesn't fit the situation as much. Sorry again, I thought your nation had already discovered my plot.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Under Flight Deck, HyperCarrier A-3442
Roughly 15 Thunderbolts were being loaded up with a full payload of munitions. The built in rocket pods were being loaded with 15 rockets each. As of now, there were roughly 60 Thunderbolts in the air, with 60 more preparing for takeoff from each HyperCarrier.

Below the surface of the water, the Submarines were slamming away with their Active Sonar to make sure no other submersables were near them. Their torpedo's were prepared to fire upon any bogies that they noticed that posed a threat to the fleet.

On the Super Drednaughts, Marines were preparing to make landfall, getting their supplies and weapons together for the protection mission that was assigned to them by Shazbotdom Marine Command. All that is missing from this mission that is normally in a mission like this are the Warthogs. Although there is a stock of them on one of the HyperCarriers which can be dropped in if needed.

The fleet was 10 minutes out from the port. Their 'Special Cargo' that wasn't on any registered manifest would help assist The Shazbotdom Empire's allies in the USSC with the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons...

OOC: Yes, not only has the post I said above NOT YET HAPPENED, but you also have NO IC knowledge of it... yet. And once you do, my government will deny all involvement and the soldiers, if you capture them, will claim to be subversives within your own nation.

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, I misread your post. The above still applies, but it doesn't fit the situation as much. Sorry again, I thought your nation had already discovered my plot.

OOC: I knew that was going to happen and that is why I bolded the word if.. I did not want you to think that I was godmodding. I accept your apology.

OOC: Question - why are all of these nations formed a couple of months ago springing up with fully developed fleets of more than 100 advanced ships of a single class despite their economy being unable to support much of a military at all? I can't really accept a nation with a Basket Case economy and a population of 100 million (not anyone here, just an example) arriving and saying "I have 200 Uberdreadnought Dreadnoughts here, and they're capable of carrying out missions in international waters even though my GDP per capita is $200". I'm not going to be the only person on this side if I have to fight my way through 30,000 ultra-advanced vessels from the Socialist Repulic of (despicably poverty-stricken) Asscrackylvania. If these nations have fleets like those I'm describing, I'm going to start adjusting my navy size to compensate for the difference.

Well I can explain my fleet to you. My ships aren´t very advanced, their only positive sides are the capability of carrying helicopters, the single bulky BS cannon and capability of sailing in middle of ice (though in this situation it won´t help.) Those destroyers are the best my navy has. And I have about 500 of those, 200 on the battlefield now. That is a big part of the total, you know. And my Defence budget is around 25% of my GDP, so I think my situation is quite realistic (Powerhouse economy, over 1.5 trillion $ to defence). I have big army but I don´t RP that much I would currently have my fleets over seas, so I can now put a big amount of them to RPing. I hope you accept my explanation.

OOC: I wasn't actually talking about you, because I looked at your economy and all that on the calculator. Shiloba is a big one (though he's actually on my side), but there are others.

Admiral Ohan breathed an inward sigh of relief as he watched the radar screen from the Lenin's CnC as the Shazbot forces sailed past the blockade without being interfered with. Smiling, he turned to a nearby officer.

"Lieutenant, signal the Shazbots that they are clear to take command of the Merchant Marine and have permission to dock at Port New London."
