The United Federation of Allied Nations

Mission Overall Aims:

1) To provide Collective Security to its members through mutual co-operation on all fronts.

2) To further the advancement of world peace and stability through mutual defensive cooperation between UFAN member states and between UFAN as a whole and other UFAN recgonised International Alliances.

3) To further the advancement of human rights throughout the world by the combined efforts of the UFAN member states.

The United Federation of Allied Nations, known as UFAN or ‘the Federation’ for short, was co-founded in secret talks between The Dominion of Vetaka and the United Socialist States of Wagdog as a direct result of the Zanski Crisis, New Nickslyania Crisis, The Global Slavery Issue and the Vetakan-TFS War. UFAN's primary aim is to provide its members with a guarantee of collective security in the face of active aggression from none UFAN States. Both Co-Founding nations whom founded its charter hoped it would cover any possible eventuality as well as hopefully grow in number. UFAN's difference between it and other alliances was that upon joining UFAN, nations had to accept the UFAN Prime Directive; which stated in the event that two UFAN states could come into Armed Conflict with each other in an International Community crisis; both states would totally withdraw from that situation and maintain total neutrality in the matter. If both states felt they could not, then the situation would be debated and an official UFAN position would be adopted.

Below is the current charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations:

UFAN Prime Directive:

All UFAN member states accept the sovereignty of all member nations within the Alliance. To further this, all UFAN members agree not to allow armed conflict to break out between them. In the event that member states find themselves upon separate sides within a situation on the International Scene, UFAN member states agree to jointly withdraw from that situation and maintain total neutrality towards the situation. Should a grievance develop as a result, the UFAN High Council will meet to adopt a majority UFAN position on that subject. UFAN will work as hard as it possibly can on all possible campaigns to further international Peace, Stability and generally the will of the Good, the Right, the True, and the Free.

Article 1:

Further to the Prime Directive UFAN member states agree to form a Collective Security Military Treaty to protect any member states sovereignty from active external aggression. As such should an Armed Attack occur either internally or externally anywhere on the planet on one or more UFAN states, that attack shall be considered an Attack upon them all. As such all UFAN members will respond with a centrally coordinated military, economic and diplomatic response.

Article 2:

All UFAN states further to the UFAN Prime Directive agree to adopt, implement, and defend Human Rights as detailed within the internationally recognised Theeb Accords (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=536111) document. As such any nation that wishes to join the United Federation of Allied Nations must sign and adopt the Theeb Accords (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=536111) before UFAN membership is granted. The applying nation must also include Attachment 1 while applying.

Article 3 Amendment 1:

The United Federation of Allied Nations will always do its best to protect the Innocent and Free within this world. However in order to protect its members it has been deemed necessary that although UFAN Member states agree the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) should always be a last resort a provision must be made to ensure that if a UFAN member deploys Weapons of such Destructive Force that they are in turn protected from Criticism and Harassment from those whom may attempt to use UFAN's own Charter against the deploying nation in attempt to further an Agenda. Thus the Deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction of any kind or variety can be utilized by any UFAN Member state in the following circumstances:

a) If a UFAN Member is struck first with WMD. Destruction is not a requirement the mere launch of a WMD at a UFAN Member will be considered the same as if a launched WMD hits its target.

b) If a UFAN Member has solid, clear, concise and unbiased evidence to suspect they shall be struck by a WMD within the near future. All members agree that such evidence must be disclosed to other UFAN Nations in secret if required but in Public if possible.

c) If a UFAN Member may preemptively deploy WMD if in conflict with a nation or nations with such a bad record of WMD Use that case 'b' can be assumed to automatically apply with the appropriate degree of certainty. Prior deployment of WMD Means by the Enemy within the last 60 Years is preferably required.

d) The deployment of WMD against Economic and Civilian Assets is advised against however should such assets be used to logistically support Military Forces of which will be deployed against UFAN Members then WMD is an option for the UFAN Member. Examples of this would be if a Civilian Airport was to be used to prepare an Airborne Invasion of a UFAN Member State WMD Deployment against that Airport would be an option. Other examples include Ports for Naval Mobilization, Economic Hubs and Internal Transport Links such as Roads, Railways and if required Waterways. Sub-Article (d) should only be used if the deployment of WMD is absolute in the survival of a UFAN Nations Civilian population and Large Scale Military Forces.

e) The deployment of WMD by UFAN member states will never be used to achieve Genocidal Results of any Nation. However if UFAN states are themselves subject to a "glassing attack" under the Prime Directive and Sub Article (a) of Article 3 the deployment of Weapons of Mass Destruction against that Aggressor by UFAN members is permitted.

The Definition of a Weapon of Mass Destruction:

"The Charter of the United Federation of Allied Nations defines a Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) as a massive weapon with the capacity to indiscriminately kill or incapacitate any person or persons regardless of whom they are or what they stand for. The phrase broadly encompasses several areas of weapon synthesis, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological weapons."

Article 4:

All UFAN states agree to maintain a standing military force that has the capacity to respond to any situation that UFAN military force maybe required, as detailed in all Articles of this charter and the UFAN Prime Directive.

Further to this all Member nations agree to create the UFAN Rapid Reaction Force which would be a constantly ready force of military force that would deploy anywhere in the world at a moments notice to provide swift UFAN reaction to any situation as detailed in this Charter and the UFAN Prime Directive.

All Member states are encouraged, but not required, to donate forces for the UFAN Rapid Reaction Force. It is only through full cooperation that this alliance will be able to function as the aims lay out.

Article 5:

All UFAN Member states agree to provide Diplomatic and Humanitarian support to any UFAN Member State that may require such support.

Article 6:

All UFAN Member States agree further to this Charter and the Prime Directive to actively recognise the following International Alliances and Organizations:

- The Global Defense Initiative
- The Questarian Commonwealth
- The Aggressive Defensive Alliance of Nations
- The Soviet Commonwealth (Strategic Partner Alliance of UFAN)
- The Mekugian Commonwealth


As such under Article 6 of this charter all UFAN members agree to work and co-ordinate with under a Joint International command with the above Alliances to respond to any future police action that may be declared however under this Article UFAN is not required to respond should the above Alliances call upon UFAN Aid and Support.

Article 7:

All UFAN Member States agree further to this Charter and the Prime Directive to not recognize the following International Alliances and Organizations whose actions so far demonstrate incompatibility with UFAN goals and principles':

- The Corporate Alliance

To ensure future world security, all member nations agree to reduce trade with these alliances and to not aid them militarily unless a member of said alliance is rebelling against said alliance’s leaders.

Article 8:

The High Council will make all UFAN Alliance Decisions, with ratification by the Lower Council. The High Council will be made up of 4 nations in total: The co-founding members, The Dominion of Vetaka and The United Socialist States of Wagdog, the Admissions Officer, The Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers, and The Social Republic of Honako.

The Low Council consists of the remaining members of UFAN. Should the Low Council feel that a member of the High Council is abusing the power granted to them, they may call for an impeachment vote. Such a proposal must have a simple majority endorsement to come to vote, and the vote must be decided by a two-thirds majority in favor if the High Council member is to be impeached.

The UFAN High council will expand over time, as new nations gain the trust of the original High Council members. A High Council member may appoint any Low Council member not on probation for a new chair at any time. Then, a vote will occur between the High Council members to determine if the nation will be added. The decision must be unanimous to add the new member.

In the event of a resignation by a High Council member, the remaining High Council members will compile a list of three Low Council members who they feel are deserving of the vacated spot. These nations must have a stellar humans rights record, have shown the ability to lead, and can not be on probation. The list will then be handed to the Low Council for a UFAN wide vote, with the resulting member taking a seat among the other High Council members.

Article 9:

All UFAN member states accept that in order to maintain overall UFAN capability this Charter and the Prime Directive are subject to change. All changes will be drafted by the High Council and voted upon by the Low Council. Changes may be proposed by the Low Council, but these will not be placed for immediate vote, and must receive the approval of at least two High Council members.

Article 10:

A member of the High Council retains the power to place any member of the Low Council on probation at all times. Probation has three effects on the nation. One, they will be subject to a possible expulsion vote. Two, they will not be able to receive funds from the UFAN treasury while on probation. Three, UFAN nations will not be required to aid that nation if attacked. A nation may not be called to an expulsion vote without first being placed on probation; however, one of the co-founders may assign both a probation warning and an expulsion vote at the same time.

In the event of an expulsion vote, the vote will be public as to view the world’s opinion on the matter. Only UFAN votes, however, will be counted in the final tally. A simple majority is needed for expulsion, as set out in the precedent case of British Londinium.

Article 11:

On the subject of imperialism, the UFAN takes no stance. While UFAN most certainly does not condone imperialism, and stands against it when it becomes rampant, as in the case of British Londinium, UFAN will not restrict its member states from entering imperialistic affairs so long as all acquired colonies are treated with the same standards of human rights as any normal citizen of the occupying nation. This organization also holds each nation accountable for making sure that the standard of life in the occupied territories is the same or better as that in the homelands of the occupiers. This organization also holds each colony's needs as part of the colonizing nation's needs; hence, a valid request for humanitarian aid must be honored as if it were from the host nation, through whom all offers and efforts should be coordinated. Be warned, however, that continued imperialism will cast you from the good graces of the High Council and may earn you a trip on probation.

Article 12:

In order to ensure a quick and rapid response by UFAN in the event that your nation is attacked, UFAN requests the use of one military base for a joint UFAN base. This will also serve to house the Rapid Reaction force as it grows. By having a military base in your nation, UFAN will be able to respond more quickly and more effectively than normal. This is not required, but is suggested.

Also not required, but suggested, is the donating of forces to the Rapid Reaction Force. It is only through mutual cooperation that this force will be able to grow into one large enough to defend each other successfully across the globe.

UFAN Oath of Loyalty:

I <Insert Leaders Name> of <Insert Nation Name> hereby swear my Loyalty on behalf of my people and government to the Charter & Prime Directive of the United Federation of Allied Nations. I shall uphold the Charter and Prime Directive with every power that I am granted by the people of my nation. I shall never wander from my objectives and I shall never surrender to those whom would try to destroy my nation and the United Federation of Allied Nations

Further, as one of the Regents of the Xeraphian Empire, I can assure the leadership of UFAN that all of the nations of the Empire would be honored to be part of this most worthwhile alliance.

If accepted, please let me know what you would need in the way of Xeraph's contributing to the UFAN Rapid Reaction Forces. We are prepared to deploy as many individual Forces to as many areas as you deem desirable. These Forces will include, but not be limited to, air/sea/land/armored units as well as AI units and MASH units.

The Empire has two multi-use military bases currently under construction on our mainland, as well as one nearing completion on an island in our Inland Sea. Each are fully capable of berthing naval units, air units, and all aspects of land/ground forces. UFAN is welcome to choose any of them for UFAN use. In addition, we have several compounds in our capitol of Ravennii available for a UFAN High Command HQ, if desired.

We will not hold this against you should you not commit anything, but we are attempting to consolidate our information on the subject and any assistance you could provide on your contributions would be warmly accepted.

Sincerely,
The Board
Joseph Electran presiding

OOC: Dunno if you already signed em or not, but if you didn't, please do so. Then consider yourself in.


Mr. Electran,
The Royal Bursar has assured me that we have ample funds to contribute to UFAN. If the sum of 500 million IXD per six-month period is adequate let me know.
As to the RRF, I indicated in the body of our original request that we would honor UFAN's request for armed forces. I will order the following deployed wherever you deem wise:
Two Xeraphian CBGs, the 12th and 44th, total 48 war ships to include 4 carriers, 3 battleships, 3 destroyers, 3 missile destroyers, 4 missile cruisers, 2 subs, 5 fast-attack amphib/assault boats. This is per CBG.
One AirWing, total 96 aircraft (8 squadrons of 12) to include either Rattlesnake or Mamba fighter-jets. In addition, we will supply one squadron of B-2 Python bombers.
One legion of Imperial Troopers, total 250,000 soldiers and support troops.
One division armor, i.e. 350 Beowulf and Wolfhound MBTs. Each division is comprised of 10 platoons of 35 MBTs.

Consider the Accords signed.

respectfully,

Vlad, King of Xeraph, Regent of the Empire, Prince of The Grey Phoenix.

The Ca and to a lesser extent the Trade Union will not tolerate such insolence against us. Article 7 of your "charter" is a slap in the face to our proud stronger-than-you alliance.

Albalast, stop flaunting the CA about. The GASN dissolved, you don't control the UN, and the CA is war weary after the Neo-Prussian Wars.

The Ca and to a lesser extent the Trade Union will not tolerate such insolence against us. Article 7 of your "charter" is a slap in the face to our proud stronger-than-you alliance.


To the Leadership of Albalast:

I would highly suggest that you not enter into a sabre-rattling contest with UFAN. That could very well escalate into a cycle of death and destruction from which neither Albalast nor the Corporate Alliance would ever recover.

The Regents of The Xeraphian Empire

Greetings from the Principality of Damirez,

In relation to the inquiry regarding our relations with various alliances our diplomats assembled the following response.

New Prussian Empire: NR
Global Union of Socialist Nations: NR
Soviet Commonwealth: NR
Questerian Commonwealth: NR
Mekugian Commonwealth: NR
NATO: NR
Gholgoth: NR
Corporate Alliance: 1 (Wary, Possible Limited Conflict.)
Free World Alliance: 5 (High Council Member.)


Should there be questions regarding our application we will reply as needed to your inquiries.

Emilian Davout, Foreign Minister of the Principality.

The Dartian government wishes to advise the UFAN that our Supreme Court has struck down all changes made to UFAN's charter on the grounds they are illegal.

Under Dartian law, altering the text of an agreement or contract after is has been written and signed is an act of fraud unless such alterations are made with the consent of signatory parties.

While we object to Articles 7, 8, and 10; we find Article 7 particularly offensive. We have rejected past attempts by Kampfers to dictate who we are permitted to trade with, and feel sneaking such language into a document we have already signed to be a transparent attempt to subvert our decision and sovereignty, which happens to be a violation of UFAN's Prime Directive.

Effective immediately, the Free Land of Dartia is terminating our relationship with UFAN. We will still oppose slavery, but will do so on our own terms.

By a decision of Vault 10 Coordination Council, initiated the Vault-Tec and Aerospace Logistics corporations, the Vault 10 as a whole is ready to become alliance member in full. The Council is awaiting your decision. The nation of Vault 10 has no official leader, but, as the largest stock owner of Vault-Tec and ALC, we have decided that Nick F. is the most fitting person to sign the treaty and swear the oath.


I, Nick F., the CEO of Aerospace Logistics and Vault-Tec Board of Directors member, hereby swear my Loyalty on behalf of my people and government to the Charter & Prime Directive of the United Federation of Allied Nations. I shall uphold the Charter and Prime Directive with every power that I possess within my nation. I shall never wander from my objectives and I shall never surrender to those who would try to destroy my nation and the United Federation of Allied Nations.

Official Mandalorian Message

We stand with our Nova Europa brother, Dartia. His messages are noble and true. We, too, are offended by the idiocy of Article 7. We have strong reason to believe that the infidel state of Kampfers convinced UFAN leaders to add that. Thus, we would like to follow Dartia yet in our own way, and break off relations with the pathetic nation of Kampfers. Effective as of today, we are withdrawing our embassy from their scrapheap nation and pulling out whatever trade ships have routes in their nation.

We, hope, that the nation of Vetaka, a nation which we have so long hoped to establish friendship with, does not agree with the ill-logical thinking of Kampfers. Kampfers is just perterbed because the Corporate Alliance whooped their butts.

~The Mandalore.
-Supreme Ruler of the Tyrannical Mandalorian Empire.

OOC: Does Calizorinstan approving of the changes affect our relationship with Dartia and the discount?

OOC: Things will remain relatively unchanged. My nation will continue to like the same UFAN nations as we did before (although some may not like me anymore). Truth be told, I left when Kampfers and I had our falling out 4-6 weeks ago, but was never removed from the roster, so my behavior during that time should give you an idea as to how my nation will react to UFAN. Just so you know, BL's nuclear attack against you took place after I left, but I came to help anyway.

To: UFAN General Assembly
From: Labhekistan Department of Foreign Affairs

Our nation is currently willing to commit a sizable force to the UFAN Rapid Reaction Force. The current force make-up is as follows:

Kind regards,

Alexi Strumov

Labhekistan

OOC: I am currently willing to do a flag, may be able to come up with some ideas later.

OOC: Are relations with the alliances formal relations caused by RPing together or simply your nation's opinion of that alliance (which they are most likely unaware of)? I'm assuming the latter here, where no relations means no opinion. If not all are NR.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/Flaw3dLegacy/HamilayBlueNormal.gif

OOC: Pretty busy, but I figured I'd at least let the men know they got in.

OOC Post:

Just a quick post to all members of UFAN. I just wanted to say that UFAN is an open Alliance and that their is NO overall boss or leader. The High Council is only in affect to ensure that the Alliance as a whole can make Operational Decisions quickly and effectively when they are required. If it where possible all Members of UFAN would have equal power within the Alliance however it is simply not possible with the constraints of II Role play.

As such if their is something you are annoyed with or you disagree with a High Council Decision then please do not be afraid to comment upon it. All members have rights laid down within the Charter however if you feel you cannot say what you wish to over the openness of II or mIRC then please feel free to TG myself, Wagdog or Kampfers.

If you have a problem with a specific High Council Member please TG another and the problem will be resolved I assure you. Also I would like to reinforce the fact that UFAN is just an Alliance you should RP your nations how you see fit of course the Alliance has the right to criticize and pressure depending on what you do but that's the whole point of IC Role play.

Finally to end upon when I founded UFAN I wanted it to be a respectable and well a damn good Alliance on NS one that was forged on Respect both IC/OOC. If you have an Comment, Criticism or Idea please let it be known via Post on mIRC (preferably on the UFAN dedicated channel which is (#ufan) their is usually always a High Council Member online to help.) or a personal TG to any of us High Council Members.

Yours

V

I just want to make a note here that because of my job, I'm gone from home a lot and have minimal, if any, computer time. I'm not ignoring you guys, just trying to keep up.

OOC: Did anyone miss me? :p

IC:
TO: All UFAN memembers
FROM: The Allied Nations of Green Hawk

Green Hawk has returned from a period of isolation recently and wonders if it's membership in UFAN is still active. If yes, then I (on behalf of Green Hawk) am most happy. If not, then Green Hawk would like to (re)join this fine alliance. Here is everything you will need from what I can tell:

UFAN Oath of Loyalty

I John Damson of The Allied Nations of Green Hawk hereby swear my Loyalty on behalf of my people and government to the Charter & Prime Directive of the United Federation of Allied Nations. I shall uphold the Charter and Prime Directive with every power that I am granted by the people of my nation. I shall never wander from my objectives and I shall never surrender to those whom would try to destroy my nation and the United Federation of Allied Nations

Attachment 1:

Please rate your relations with all of these alliances on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best: If there are no relations with said alliance, please respond NR.

- The New Prussian Empire - NR
- The Global Union of Socialist Nations - NR
- The Soviet Commonwealth - NR
- The Questarian Commonwealth - NR
- The Mekugian Commonwealth - NR
- The New Alliance Treaty Organization - NR
- Gholgoth - NR
- The Corporate Alliance - NR
- Free World Alliance - NR


Green Hawk would like to add 1 Billion USD to UFAN's joint funding programs (whichever one needs it the most or 50% to both, it's up to the members of UFAN). Here is a list of military units devoted to protecting UFAN.


UFAN Member: The Allied Nations of Green Hawk
Force Name: Green Hawk/UFAN 1st Joint Air Expeditionary Wing (JAEW)
Operational Commander: General Geranoaetus Glower
Force Make Up:
- 8th Air Force (which is made up of the following)
- 81st Special Operations Wing
- 82nd Fighter Wing
- 83rd Fighter Wing
- 84th Fighter Wing
- 85th Fighter Wing
- 86th Bomb Wing
- 87th Bomb Wing
- 88th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 89th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 90th Air Base Wing

- 9th Air Force (which is made up of the following)
- 91st Special Operations Wing
- 92nd Fighter Wing
- 93rd Fighter Wing
- 94th Fighter Wing
- 95th Fighter Wing
- 96th Bomb Wing
- 97th Bomb Wing
- 98th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 99th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 100th Air Base Wing

- 10th Air Force (which is made up of the following)
- 101st Fighter Wing
- 102nd Fighter Wing
- 103rd Bomb Wing
- 104th Bomb Wing
- 105th Bomb Wing
- 106th Bomb Wing
- 107th Reconnaissance Wing
- 108th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 109th Air Mobility Wing (AMW)
- 110th Air Base Wing

NOTE: Other units may be added or removed for certain needs for certain types of missions, but this makes up the basic force. Ground forces as well as navel forces seems to be well covered by other members so I see no point in adding to them.

Operating Base: Anywhere UFAN wants, but I would recommend sending a wing (or more) from one of the three Air Forces to a member nation that needs air support.

Is this okay? Also, is there anything else UFAN needs from Green Hawk?

Bump!

Red Army Air Force Two, Skies over Wagdog...
Having conferred secretly with the other members of the High Council, or those available at any rate, Secretary Genreral Christine Friedrich turned to her other set of responsibilities to attend aside from those as Deputy General Secretary of her own nation. One set thereof in particular weighed heavily on her, and had taken some hours' thought even if the discussion had been easy enough; but all the same it had to be done. You didn't start this to be popular, girl; and it's time that became clearer. Hence, she was the one who had to make it so; she opened her OBSAT-enabled laptop and began to compose her message as the Il-87 Maxdome command plane continued its latest span of air-refuelled soaring through the night skies over a homeland yet in a state of emergency...

OBSAT Encoded Diplomatic Communication
It is well to hear from you all still, friends and allies; and I should let you all know that I have not forgotten my duties to this alliance even under the duress of my nation's danger due to the Ennuisian Crisis still ongoing. This message is to let you know that I have indeed been aware of your activities and requests, and after due consultations I am ready to state what decisions need so.

First, and regrettably, I have word from the Admissions Office of the High Council that the reapplication of the Londinian Commonwealth must again be denied. Given the course of recent events, even dating back to their expulsion, we do not believe that the Commonwealth has undertaken policies that are consistent with the responsibilities of UFAN membership. In fact Premier Stark, if I may be so bold, the fact that you qualify Her Majesty's Government's stance on human rights as being "dedicated to securing within Londinian borders" (emphasis added) raised some concern when I discussed it with my peers in the other High Council nations. Although it could reflect a simple respect for sovereignty of both members and non-members, which would be all to the well, it might also reflect the sort of legalistic dodge which prior Londinian governments have used to perpetrate infamous acts against their supposed enemies; something we have seen before and do not wish to again, especially not if perpetrated under our aegis. I offer my own and the High Council's apologies, not least to the esteemed Doctor Hodz of Akimonad whose endorsment is and shall remain a matter of record, but it has been decided that the Federation cannot honorably entertain Londinian Commonwealth membership absent a well and truly fundamental change in their outlook and policies; which would itself require the judgment of Time and none else for us to be truly confident thereof.

On a happier note, the Council and I welcome the Barronian commitment to the Rapid Reaction Force, and gratefully accept their donation of basing areas. Your commitment inspires, and I must apologise for my own government's tardiness in updating our own list of forces to be contributed. It is not intentional at all, rest assured; as soon as the Ennuisian Crisis is resolved Wagdog will be able to countenance the required donations more easily, and even now we are maintaining ad-hoc reserves should a commitment prove absolutely necessary. Until that time, doubt not our commitment; for it remains as firm as when we and Vetaka began this great endeavor with you all.

To the Allied States of Green Hawk, my sincerest welcomes. You need not worry, President Damson: Green Hawk's membership remains on record, and its' contribution to the RRF is also taken into account. We apologize for our seeming inability to assist during your recent period of isolation, for alas matters have somewhat gotten the better of us of late and do not seem to be letting up. For now, all we ask is your vigilance and continued support; should you see events which may concern the Councils, do not hesitate to notify us so we may consult and reach what decisions we may, nor to act as appropriate if your own interests are directly and immediately threatened. Your support since first joining is remembered well, and we have faith that it shall remain an example to all members.

Yours in Solidarity,
Christine Friedrich
Deputy Commander-in-Chief, USSW War Office
Deputy Party Secretary, Wagdian Revolutionary Party
Deputy General Secretary, USSW Revolutionary Command Council
Secretary General, United Federation of Allied Nations

Offical Statement to UFAN


The Fortress State of Animarnia hereby lodges a formal protest at the point blank refusal of UFAN to consider the membership of The Londinian Commonwealth. While we in the Fortress State, respect and somewhat understand your decision and of course accept it is your decision to make. We also know our voice alone will not alter your minds and perhaps even lower your opinions of our own state by our standing up for the Commonwealth. We feel that our voice must be heard on the record in this matter so that others know the high council alone does not speak for the entirety or UFAN as a whole. We feel that the High council is making a decision as if it included all of UFAN without including all of UFAN, particularly the nation of Kampfers. Despite UFAN's own charter stating that no one or group of entirety will have absolute power over the alliance we feel in part that Kampfers has taken this power for itself and if any this power should belong to Vetaka and Wagdog. This is exactly why the fortress state is only an associate of the UFAN alliance and not a full member; even though we are aware we have no voting rights due to our voluntarily giving up these rights under our own deal with UFAN - Our Voice will be heard.

We feel as though the founders of UFAN need to; to quote and old adage - "Make up their damn minds" on certain issues of the charter. UFAN is either a democracy where everyone has a voice in the decisions, or it isn't and the High Council or indeed admissions officer makes the big decisions without consultation. It cannot be both.

We feel that the Londinian's in particular are being victimised by the nation of Kampfers; due to there own poor relations and are exploiting there powers as admissions officer in UFAN to keep the Londinian's out. We are aware of the questionable circumstance in which British Londinium was expelled from UFAN due to the 'glassing' of North Cavalaras. However under Article III British Londinium was within its rights to quash North Cavalaras with all due force Pre-emptily. As North Cavalaras is a known user of weapons of mass destruction on in various occasions, a seller of weapons of mass destruction to terror states, a known sponsor of state terror; A Sponsor of Hard line Mao Communist Rebel group's world-wide. North Cavalaras is also the leader of multi-national terrorist organisation "sons of Lenin" and The New World Order. There is no doubt that the Londinian's response was overwhelming and perhaps broke the spirit of the charter but none the less authorised under the charter by the letter of the charter. However the biased nation of Kampfers saw an opportunity to exploit current ill will against the nation of British Londinum for other matters and so took it using UFAN for its own ends once again.

We find it Odd that despite UFAN's charter of human rights; that not a single UFAN sponsored response was issued condemning the recent large scale nuclear genocide of nearly 600 million people on the British Londinium main homeland by Automagfreek, not one. Which leaves us to believe certain UFAN states were nothing short of jumping up and down with glee shouting "Take that you bastards" at the harrowing images of mushroom clouds over the eastern shores from the nuclear bombardment. This is especially troubling when you consider Automagfreek to be one of the largest abusers of human rights in history completely unchallenged by UFAN in the slightest. Add to this the nuclear attack on The Undead Falcons where; over 100 Gigtons of Nuclear Ordinance was used in retaliation for an actual launch. An attack that would no doubt have a severe effect on civilian population numbers due to increased levels of back ground radiation and fall-out even with targeting only of military and duel use facilities. I'm not saying the attack on The Undead Falcons was unjustified; it was very Justified but when you consider that British Londinium was expelled from UFAN for supposedly the exact same type of "Nuclear Genocide" this is inherently troubling, especially when we have Satellite evidence North Cavalaras was preparing for a large-scale nuclear first strike something they have been proven to do before.

We can only conclude that UFAN; in particular Kampfers is biased against the now Londinium Commonwealth despite its reforms and sufferings. Just this morning we heard news that the Londinian's are holding peace talks with the Cazlians instead of a counter invasion which they would be in there rights to do. Repeated attempts to rejoin UFAN have been refused despite endorsement by the esteemed Doctor Hodz of Akimond, and the nation of Aurum Domus, do they not deserve a second chance?. Should the sins of the father be visited down upon the son? If Kampfers has its way they most certainly will be it seems.

Obviously, if I post it before then, feel free to go ahead and post. Ani, thanks for dissing the essence of the Kampferian political model. :P. Anyways, I'm off to school now.

OOC: Sorry if the above post seems a little bit angry. Waking up and having this be the first thing you read doesn't help much XD

[TO] The United Federation of Allied Nations, especially the Fortress State of Animarnia
[FROM] The Neo-Prussian Parlimentary Dictatatorship of Kampfers

First, let me thank Edward Benton for voicing his concerns. How are we to improve ourselves if no mention is made of our flaws? All the same, I vehemently disagree with the claims he puts forth in his letter, although i will conced some points. In order to best formulate a response that is both clear and that effecitvely addresses all mentioned points, I have taken the liberty of breaking Mr. Benton's letter down into portions and will address each individually. So without further adu, let me begin.
The Fortress State of Animarnia hereby lodges a formal protest at the point blank refusal of UFAN to consider the membership of The Londinian Commonwealth.
Your complaint is duly noted, however, it is my view that the claim that you assert here is wrong. The application of the Londinian Commonwealth was considered, just as it has been every time that the Londinians applied. Once again, however, it was determined, not only by Kampfers, may I add, that the negatives of accepting the Commonwealth outweighed the positives. The same course of thought was taken in the case of the Londinans as it was for every applicant: Barronia, Xeraph, etcetera, all recievd the same thought process. The Londians, unlike the aforementioned nations, did not pass enough of these tests to be accepted into the ranks of UFAN.
Despite UFAN's own charter stating that no one or group of entirety will have absolute power over the alliance we feel in part that Kampfers has taken this power for itself and if any this power should belong to Vetaka and Wagdog.
Why do you fell that Kampfers has absolute power over this alliance? Is this becaus Kampfers facilitated in the rewriting of the charter? Is this because Kampfers holds the position of "Admissions Officer"? To further that, no one nation even comes close to the power you describe. The charter even provides a system of checks and balances to remove a notion that grows to powerful or oppressive. My nation did not take any power for itself, it was rather handed to it. The power of being the Admissions Officer was granted to me by the nations of Wagdog and Vetaka. They delegated authority to me, and all I have done is attempted to fulfill my role. My job description has been to review the applications to UFAN, and that is what I have done. I do not speak for UFAN as a whole in the international scheme, but leave that for the two founders to do. I do not claim to be above Vetaka or Wagdog, in fact, I clear nearly all UFAN related decisions with them first, before revealing my choices to UFAN as a whole. I fail to see how II have become a powerful tyrant within this alliance.
We feel as though the founders of UFAN need to; to quote and old adage - "Make up their damn minds" on certain issues of the charter. UFAN is either a democracy where everyone has a voice in the decisions, or it isn't and the High Council or indeed admissions officer makes the big decisions without consultation. It cannot be both.
Do you realize, good sir, that in this statement you call the whole of the Kampferian political system, including the Kampferian Constitution, a failed system? Our system is very similar to what is in use here, a mixture of authoritarianism and democracy, and this cuts very deeply. On another hand, have you not learned the lessons that GASN taught us? Democracy is good, but there comes a time when it is bad, or there is too much of it. This is why the High Council is entrusted with the powers outlined in the charter. To be frank, it can be both. A system of checks and balances are in place to keep one group from gaining too much power, and these make the syste not only work, but work well, as we have seen in Kampfers over the years.
We feel that the Londinian's in particular are being victimised by the nation of Kampfers; due to there own poor relations and are exploiting there powers as admissions officer in UFAN to keep the Londinian's out.
You continued on to explain in further detail. What you do not realize is that this statement only encompasses part of the truth, but fails to mention a large portion. When the Londinians reapplied for membership this last time, I knew the topic was controversial. As such, I did not take the liberty of responding to the Londinians myself. First, over secure channels, I contacted the leaders of Wagdog and Vetaka, who were the only two High Council members that could be reached at the time. Without any debate, it was clear that we had reached a consensus about the Londinian application: a unified no. Still wary of the touchy subject, I refrained from informing the Londinians myself, but rather had the nation of Wagdog, a founder, inform the Londinian Commonwealth's leadership of the decision. This was not a decision made soley by myself, in truth, I was only a small piece in the puzzle. You continue to speak of the ondinians nuclear attack on North Calaveras, but leave out important details. Let me now present the facts that i see. At the time the Londinians were first accepted into UFAN, they were informed that due to their prior history, they would be kept on a short leash. They did, in fact, break the letter of the law, and not only the spirit. You yourself admitted that the Londinians "glassed" North Calaveras, which is quite genocidal. Let me now quote Article 3, Ammendment 1, Subdivision e of the UFAN charter.
e) The deployment of WMD by UFAN member states will never be used to achieve Genocidal Results of any Nation.
This ammendment was put into place well before the Londinians entered the alliance, and the results of the Lodinian attack show that their nuking of North Calaveras was in fact genocidal and did in fact break the charter's laws as stated. I most certainly do not condone the actions of North Calaveras in the past, nor do I recognize them as a good nation, but no nation is deserving of what the Londinians poured out upon them. You also fail to mention the other mounting offences the Londinians have commited over the years. They continually harrased members of the alliance known as the Hegemony, an alliance that UFAN has continually sought to better relations with nothing their stances on human rights, with extremely little to no provokation. During the occupation of Cazelia, Londinian troops blended Cazelians alive and fed the remains to the now blended Cazelians parents. Prior to that, they wear lead by a tyrannical leader known as James Swanner, who commited many offences of his own. Swanner was the equivilant of Hitler, a ruthless brute who had no regard for human life. One of the numerous atrocities he commited was sticking live babies into blenders and murdering them in the same fashion that Swanner's successor did the Cazelians. The expelling of British Londinium from UFAN was not based soley on one event, but upon a collection. The glassing of North Calaveras was just the tipping point.
We find it Odd that despite UFAN's charter of human rights; that not a single UFAN sponsored response was issued condemning the recent large scale nuclear genocide of nearly 600 million people on the British Londinium main homeland by Automagfreek, not one. Which leaves us to believe certain UFAN states were nothing short of jumping up and down with glee shouting "Take that you bastards" at the harrowing images of mushroom clouds over the eastern shores from the nuclear bombardment.
Quite simply, who would we support in this situation? Supporting either side would mean condoning the actions of that side, and that in itself would be hypocritical. As suc, we maintained a delicat air of neutrality. I can assure you that if the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek requested admission into UFAN, they would receive an even harsher response than the Londinians did. The standard for membership has been set, and neither of these nations meet it.
We can only conclude that UFAN; in particular Kampfers is biased against the now Londinium Commonwealth despite its reforms and sufferings.
Perhaps we are biased against the Londinians. If so, however, it is rightfully justified. Even now, the reforms they have supposedly made are not enough for us to believe that they have changed and will tread the "path of the good and righteous". They promised to change when they joined UFAN the first time, and yet they did not. My trust was broken, and as I am sure you understand, it is a hard thing to get back. In order for them to be able to enter this organization, they need to prove that they are truely willing to be a "good" nation, and in time, we will determine them changed. Howeve, one good deed, such as the conference with Cazelia, is not enough make up for a lifetimes worth of wrongs. Who knows, the Londinians could only be holding this conference to attempt to strong-arm land off of the Cazelians, the jury is still out. Do not get me wrong and mistake me for a cold hearted bastard: my heart too goes out to the millions of Londinians displaced or dead. At this time, however, I do not believe that their government will be a loyal member in UFAN. We noted the support from Akimonad, but we never recieved the support of Aurum Domus, and can not speak for them. Good sir, I do not mean to say that you are foolish by any strech of the means, but one must view all the facts, and as such I have tried to present them to you as clearly as I can. Do give the president my regards.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

OOC: As not to metagame, this post does not include OOCly known reasons, of which there are also quite a few. If you feel that tose are important to you, contact me over IRC or via TGs. This is also sent only to UFAN members, to clarify.

Ani: This is ICly only, and my leader is rather angry about this. OOCly I have no beef with you, but ICly, you've angered my leader purteh good.

Once again, sorry for the crass post previous to this. Anyways, back to verbal sparring :P

OOC: Sorry to ruin your morning Kampf; all Critism is purely IC; OOCly we're still cool; Benton is a lot more HARD Line towards UFAN than Rene is; and is a lot more sympathetic towards BL; and yes its good to keep to IC reasons; I realise that BL has done a whole bunch to warrent being turned away but a lot of that we have no IC knowledge of; besides we can't be all happy and content with every thing right?; I'll make an IC post when I've wrote up a reply to you

Official Reply from the Fortress State
Type: Closed Memorandum, Confidential
To: The United Federation of Allied Nations
CC: The Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers
Subject: British Londinium Membership

First of all we thank Fuhrer Richtoff for taking the time out of his busy schedule to reply personally to our concerns regarding UFAN and the membership of the now Londinium Commonwealth, formally Pre-genocide British Londinium. We apologise for the harsh criticism of Kampfers in our statement and while we do not retract any of our assertions we realise that this may not be a deliberate attempt on Kampfers part to come across as we have stated in our message. Though Kampfers may accept that others perhaps view as such by others, however unintentional. For the length of this message I may paraphrase or quote parts of your own response in order to clarify which points that I am replying to; all quotes will be marked in Italics

In your response you say that the membership of the Londinium commonwealth was considered and rejected by the high council not by Kampfers alone; I will concede this point to you. However for legal reference I would like a hard copy of these tests and criteria requirements entered into evidence for examination in full and there results in this particular case. Essentially to Cooberate that these tests do not simply amount to "the high council does not like your nation so your not in". We do not like the prospect of raising doubt on the credibility of the admissions process in public and if required agree to keep all information in house and classified under the official secret act 1832 but feel that this information is very pertinent to this matter.

In your second point you once again refers to checks and balances in place to prevent such a problem as a single nation taking power in the alliance. We do not deny that these exist however once again we ask for documentation of these checks and balances or at least informal clarification of such for legal reference of how these checks and balances would work to prevent such a take over is one were so inclined.

On your third point you seem to have taken our passing remark as a personal insult against the Kampferian political system or yourself personally; this is not intentional and I apologise if you took it as such. However if you wish to discuss the finer parts of politics; I can certainly abide. Essentially an alliance cannot in truth be a democracy and a dictatorship and work efficiently on the multi national scale; in such an alliance either everything is voted on and discussed by all members; or everything is decided by the high council and the members follow. There is very little middle ground and democracy certainly isn't the perfect system. In truth I do not care if the high council are making all the decisions or if all decisions are made by the membership of the alliance; only that which ever you use; you (collectively) are honest about it - an honest dictatorship is better than a dishonest "democracy"

We Concede your point that the Londinian response to the North Cavalaras threat was overwhelmingly inappropriate and indeed excessive, nor do we dispute that the then Peoples Republic of British Londinium have a chequered past some of which is proven; others of which we only have our suspicions about. Nor do we dispute that the spirit of the UFAN charter was utterly raped but the legal standpoint is clear as Article III Amendment one was made just after the 'Glassing' of North Cavalaras to justify the expelling of British Londinium. Despite being a working rule of thumb it was not present in the charter at the time of the glassing. To paraphrase; "What exactly are the rules of engagement here? Do we have to wait until the insurgent has his rifle near or UP my arse before I can fire back? or do I knock on his door; offer him a nice gift bag and ask him to please not blow me up?" essentially North Cavalaras had there silo doors open, there birds were being fuelled and they were known to use WMD for genocidal results. Article III does make provision for pre-emptive use of WMD if an enemy is known to use Weapons of Mass destruction.

We concede the former people's republic has committed a long chain of atrocities; this is documented fairly well but all of these events happened before they joined UFAN. You speak of Cazelia but much of the Cazelians problems have been brought upon them by themselves; by there own arrogance and stupidity in international affairs. Same for the Hegemony and their interventionist policies including coming within a hairbreadth of destroying one of their own members' over a complete misunderstanding.

In all fairness; UFAN appears hypocritical if it doesn’t condemn the excessively armed empire for its nuclear bombardment of the then Peoples Republic; especially after its venially worded statement against the Peoples Republic for its bombardment of North Cavalaras regardless of past sins. No one was asking UFAN to jump in guns blazing in defence of British Londinium but a statement of condemnation would have at least been something. Silence is often taken as agreement. And if UFAN agrees with one nuclear bombardment but not another; purely when it is convenient or when the victim is not especially liked by certain members of an alliance that Mr Richtoff is true hypocrisy.

I do not pretend to be telepathic or speak of the Londinium Commonwealths reasons for wanting to rejoin or for it actions with Cazelia. I do not claim they are a proverbial White Knight, or a Black Knight only that they exist and have suffered greatly; so much so that maybe this experience has given them a new perspective as the victim instead of the perpetrator. So perhaps they are a Grey Knight - a Knight yet to choose a side; a Knight yet to be moulded; A Knight in a moment of transition and revelation; holding its breath; a Knight where our choices will have an effect on its outcome.

To leave; I offer a quote from our great leader; the greatest president of our time; Alexia DeLèan - "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope; the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. It is said that the future is always born in pain. The history of war is the history of pain. If we are wise what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world. Because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us."


I will pass on your kind regards to the President.

I speak for the entire nation when I say welcome back to the world. We are delighted to see that you managed to survive the destruction of your homeland. The world simply couldn't survive without your great nation. I invite you to rejoin UFAN again. If the other member nations accept you then you will be able to be protected from anything like this ever again. I feel sure that you will be accepted as long as you don't go messing around with bigger nations.

Subject: Londinian Commonwealth (Re-)Admission

To begin with, as far as I am aware Article III was amended prior (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12834960&highlight=article+amendment#post12834960) to the Londinian use of nuclear ordnance against North Calaveras (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12959529&highlight=article+amendment#post12959529); although you are correct that the Londinian Expulsion was the ‘test case’ for said amendments being applied to UFAN law and that the passage of the changes was made shortly before the nuclear attack. Furthermore, the context within which Article III was violated by the Londinians needs to be further clarified in order to explain precisely why this was deemed by my own government (among those calling for the original expulsion) to be so heinous an act. I proceed upon records available to my government under the provisions of the Global Order of Defense (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13137396#post13137396), of which UFAN is a member; records from fellow GOOD member alliance The Hegemony and dated to the time when North Calaveras remained a member thereof.

Immediately prior to the commencement of Operation: Caramel Teacup (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535376), British Londinium's invasion of North Calaveras which ultimately occasioned their expulsion from UFAN, the government of North Calaveras had managed to persuade the government of Mesotarian to accept a client-state status (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535353&page=8) under the Sons of Lenin alliance; this as part of an effort to stem Mesotarian’s own irresponsible conduct in declaring a brief war with the nation of Multiland (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535353) over vaguely-attested threats against Mesotarian. Per this agreement, armed forces of North Calaveras landed in Mesotarian (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535367) and saw to the accession of a communist state, apparently causing a local panic due to not all government and military officals being informed of the agreement and its’ accompanying regime change; nor apparently the populace at large. Presumably due to reports of said panic at the North Calaveran landing, the then People’s Sovereign Republic of British Londinium invaded North Calaveras in retaliation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12957980#post12957980) and the chain of events we are all too familiar with began; a chain ending in the nuclear devastation of North Calaveras (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535376&page=4) based upon debatable Londinian claims they were preparing a nuclear first strike, and the expulsion of the People’s Sovereign Republic (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535494&highlight=expulsion+londinium+ufan) after it had been determined by Federation vote that they had indeed violated Article III in pursuing otherwise-legitimate retaliation unto the point of illegitimate genocidal results.

Do we in Wagdog agree with Calaveran actions in that whole sorry affair? Of course we do not, for such would be to condone governmental stupidity upon a scale so epic that it almost beggars the imagination. Despite being of the same (very) broad ideological coloring as the former Kash Wilson regime, we have found them to be indeed the sort of Socialists that commit more harm than progress in their actions; and whom attract the more virulent and themselves-harmful forms of anticommunism as embodied in certain alliances which are well-enough known not to bear particular calling out. However, North Calaveras attempting to seal an agreement with the Mesotarian government was not an “invasion” of Mesotarian by any but the most reaching definition of the term, contrary to the Londinian argument as it seems to have been; and thus the entire rationale behind Operation: Caramel Teacup becomes merely one of the same opportunistic imperialism which Londinian governments throughout recorded memory have become notorious for. Worse, in this case: opportunistic imperialism which culminated in a wantonly excessive nuclear retaliation for what may well have been North Calaveran second-strike preparedness measures against precisely the sort of Londinian nuclear preemption that occurred. Our Animarnian friends are welcome to compare gigatonnages all they wish; alas the fact remains, against the Undead Falcons (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=537047&page=2&highlight=undead+falcons) both ourselves and they made the greatest pains possible under nuclear means to restrict the destruction to Falconian military infrastructure only, and the Falconians furthermore had actually fired a failed nuclear attack against Vetaka besides. By contrast, the People’s Sovereign Republic admittedly observed no such discretion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12958312#post12958312) in its nuclear attack on the Calaverans, the results of which were plainly and pathetically made clear to the world back then; after which the Calaveran silos mutely closed, unstruck and unused, in testimony to the priorities (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=12958301#post12958301) that the Londinian Government apparently chose to observe in its’ retaliatory measures.

My friends, what this vote comes down to are the intangibles as much as anything; even if we have records upon which to base our arguments all the same. We know of the Londinians’ past deeds from these records, and the prices (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535494&highlight=expulsion+londinium+ufan) they (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=537710&highlight=automagfreek+londinium) have (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=540504&highlight=automagfreek+londinium) paid (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=541502&highlight=automagfreek+londinium) for them; which we may each view as excessive or not depending upon our own private consciences’ feelings in the matter. The question is: Are they indeed such a “Grey Knight” as our Animarnian friend the Rt. Hon. Mr. Benton seems to argue; subject to our potential influence for good, if only we would show the face of mercy this once? In the past, the Londinian outlook was changed not a whit by their membership in the Federation aside from some token measures taken to remove the most visible elements of their misdeeds such as dismantling their giant kitchen implements as previously used for execution. Their actions in North Calaveras demonstrated the same imperious disdain (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535376&page=11) for any not Londinian or allied to them, and I have seen nothing in their actions even now that indicates this cultural prejudice has changed in the least. And it is precisely this same cultural prejudice, at the root of their past misdeeds and only portending of more to come in my opinion, which is at the heart of my government’s opposition to Londinian readmission; as well as the consequences for the Federation that said Londinian prejudice may yet occasion in time if acted upon again like it was in the past.

The United Federation of Allied Nations is founded upon more than just mutual respect between members: it also demands a basic respect for the rights of others who do not blatantly annihilate the same themselves via slavery or whatever else. The Londinian government, whether People’s Sovereign Republic or Empire or Commonwealth, has consistently failed to observe this degree of respect; and unless it should deign to immediately and henceforth, I see no honest purpose in readmitting them to this Federation even upon sympathetic grounds. There is a difference between charity and foolishness, and I am still unconvinced as to which the readmission of the Londinian Commonwealth would be; and I for one will not countenance what I and my government may yet come to see as foolishness with my own vote, however others may or not.

Protests break out as war nears

http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/Vancouver18Mar06.jpg
Protesters in North Point spread their message

As the impending war between Mer des Ennuis and the United Federation of Allied Nations looms, the Fuhrer has seen a shocking dip in his latest polls. Whereas the Fuhrer normally recieves around a 92% approval rating, the Fuhrer has hit an all time low with only 32% of the populace agreeing with his current foreign policy. Furthermore, another suprise was revealed through the latest polls, and this one even more detrimental to the current Kampferian foreign policy. Shockingly, 84% of the nation overwhelmingly views the United Federation of Allied Nations as having a "negative impact on Kampfers course in the world." To further that point, this Sunday morning saw the largest organised protest in Richtoff's time in power. Policemen lined the streets attempting to keep the crowd safe at all times, and with the exception of a few small scuffles, the protest went without difficulty. What did not have any problems getting out was its message.

The impact of this has been widespread already, and as the Fuhrer has yet to make an official statement, it can be expected to continue to grow. When several million people line the streets outside your residence, however, it can be expected to have a rather large impact. Similar rallies were held in Gantrickburgh and North Point, with North Point being the more poignant of the two. The rally in North Point had many memebrs of the military and there families in attendance, which sent a powerful message to the leader that for once, he did not have the backing of his people. The Fuhrer is expected to comment on this situation later tonight.

What this holds for the future of the United Federation of Allied Nations and the Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers is yet to be seen, but it can be expected to be quite bleak. If nothing else, the Fuhrer will most likely push the alliance he has harbored so close to his heart an arms length away to help regain the populace's faith. For now, however, this is all speculation.

[TO] The United Federation of Allied Nations
[FROM] Eric Richtoff, Fuhrer of the Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dicatatorship of Kampfers

Greetings friends, acquaintances, and allies. These are troubling times we live in, and even now I fear that what we do may not have enough fuure impact to avert the course of bloodshed that so many nations crave to follow today. Long have I stood in the halls of this alliance, and long have I attempted to propel it to new heights on an international stage. As the saying goes, however, all things must come to an end, and Kampfers time as one of the heads of the United Federation of Allied Nations is drawing to a close.

Perhaps you have seen the news, but if not, let me inform you. My political strength has always been derived from my people. These past few days, I have seen that foundation, that unswaying support, slowly creep out from under my feet, and, if I may tell the truth, it has hurt. I pledged myself to defend them, to do what they wanted to do, and in the recent days I have been failing to uphold my promise. More than eighty percent of my constituents now view this alliance negatively, and even more wish for a full Kampferian return into isolationist tendancies, with a full withdrawl from the Federation. On top of this, the support from the Federation itself is swaying. Time and time again recently, nations have made repetative attempts to undercut myself, the High Council, and the alliance as a whole, and I can not bear this any longer. With this letter, I formally announce the Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers resignation from the United Federation of Aliied Nations. As some here may have deduced, Kampfers is bound on ties higher than the Federation alone to some nations here, and will continue to honor these ties, however, the truth is that we can no longer be a productive member of the United Federation of Allied Nations.

In accordance to Article 8 of the Charter, I have compiled a list of three nations that I find as most deserving, if not fully, of the vacated High Council spot. Firstly, I will name the Republic of Central Prestonia. Though I may not see eye to eye with them, I have watched their development from young nation into a more respected nation with much interest, and believe that now they have acquired the skill set necessary to lead. Secondly, the nation of Vault 10 comes to mind. Although they have not been members of the Federation for a prolonged period of time, they are quite capable of leadershipa dn would fill the position nicely. Last, but not least, I believe that the Principality of Damirez is a good final candidate. They have shown the ability to lead in the Free World Alliance, and I believe would provide an excellent final High Council member.

It is with this that I bid you adieu the final time. Auf wiedersehen. I shall see many of you again, though not on the same terms. I only hope that the leaders of this alliance continue down their current path of righteousness.

Sincerely,
Eric Richtoff
Fuhrer of the Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers

Official Statement From the Secretary-General

Although it pains me to have to accept this final departure of the Neo-Prussian Parliamentary Dictatorship of Kampfers from our ranks, nonetheless it is done in the spirit of honesty and friendship with which the Kampferian people and their Leader have always acted towards the Federation and its' members. Their decision to withdraw is made in good faith, in accordance with proper respect to the opinions of their peers, and thus is and shall be respected as if from any other member feeling that their sovereign interests could be served no other way. We understand you entirely Fuhrer Richtoff, and agree that we hold you in the same esteem you have mentioned; no less for walking your own path than when you took ours. All our work may indeed continue, even if not exactly together as before; of that I am certain.

In addition, moving on to matters which had been sadly delayed due to the vote on the Londinian Commonwealth's failed readmission bid, it pleases me to welcome the Confederacy of Vermillion Utopia into our ranks. Their Oath of Loyalty is on the record, and we advise that they consider their possible contributions to the Rapid Reaction Force and the various relevant Funds in the meantime they become oriented with their newfound membership. We ask that they do not hesitate to inform us of any needs they may have, the better that we could evaluate the appropriate response if so required and act in a timely manner.

The Oath of the Allied States of Green Hawk is on record, and it pleases me to welcome our friends back into active membership; you were indeed missed and are indeed welcome again. Also on record is the Oath and Application of the Theocracy of Caronis, however I must admit that finding sufficient information about their international activities to warrant admission at this time was alas not possible. This isn't to allege necessarily that the Theocracy is unsuited for membership, or to allege any other such implication whether intentionally or otherwise; but is simply to state that there was not sufficient information of the Theocracy's role in international affairs for the High Council to draw a definitive conclusion. We advise that the Holy Elders and their people exercise patience in this matter, which we do not believe shall be difficult for them if what we do know of their ways is accurate, for I do believe that with more information we could perhaps reassess their application on record and render a more definitive judgment in due time; at which point we would not hesitate to inform them as would only be fair. Until that time, we note with great favor their accession to the Theeb Accords and that their application shall remain on record and pending further consideration.

Although we are pleased to hear of the Zansk Government's adoption of a pro-minority-rights position, regardless of their precise ideology behind such which remains their own affair, I'm afraid I'm at a loss when President Azani claims we have enacted a blockade of his nation. If indeed such has been enacted, however, I agree that it should be withdrawn and I doubt the members involved would have any difficulties in doing so of their own accord should this indeed turn out to have been the case. As for allegations of another nation intruding into Zansk waters or not, I must alas plead ignorance; contact with Marshal Baldrin's Peacekeeping Force Zaynah has been utterly lost, as has satellite coverage of the area. I agree that President Azani's fears may have foundation, but I do not believe there is much that can be done by ourselves without accurate information at this time; as of now we don't even know what precisely is happening in Zaynah, much less who if anyone is behind it. This shall simply have to be seen, and I'm afraid we can do no more until more is itself known to us to act upon.

To conclude, these have been trying times for our alliance; and shall remain so yet. The opinions cast in this Londinian Affair remain the sovereign prerogative of those holding them, the results being what they may. However, this episode has brought to my mind the need to amend the Charter perhaps further in accordance with the provisions of Article IX thereof; mainly to the point of further codifying Federation precedent as it stands, so future internal issues can be addressed with a clearer mind by all members High Council or Lower. I am pleased to see that, so far, we have survived this controversy as we have those before it; but without a clearer sense of our rights and responsibilities, as well as the means of carrying these out, that survival may well prove fleeting. To allow such to happen would be a disservice to all of you, who have given so much and worked so hard to make this alliance work; and I shall not permit it so long as it is within my power as your Secretary-General.

To that end, I endorse the candidacies named by Fuhrer Ricthoff to replace the vacant seat on the High Council left by the departure of Kampfers. The appropriate vote for the Lower Council shall be called shortly, with the candidates being: The Federated States of Prestonia, the Community of Vault 10, and the Principality of Damirez. Patience is asked while procedural instructions are drawn up to enable this first-of-its'-kind vote to proceed smoothly; rest assured, it shall be done soon. Without fear or favor, we shall carry on together.

Sincerely,
Christine Friedrich
Deputy Commander-in-Chief, USSW War Office
Deputy Party Secretary, Wagdian Revolutionary Party
Deputy General Secretary, USSW Revolutionary Command Council
Secretary-General, United Federation of Allied Nations

OOC: Zanski, I believe this has been covered before; identifying Aleos in the fashion you have is jumping several steps too far ahead ICly speaking. So far, all either of us can really know in IC terms is that Zaynah is being attacked in general; by whom specifically or for what reasons as yet remain unknown due to no information having reliably been provided. The blockade thread AFAIK has been ignored by Vetaka and the other participants, but in case not I've ordered an IC withdrawal anyway as seen in the IC.

OOC: I'm still active also too, just as the post above me, not many interesting threads pertaining to the UFAN.

(OOC: I’m still active, just haven’t been any interesting threads around or request for help to me so yeah... also change of name to the United Democratic Federation of the Federal Union)

The Federation of Caelapes (herein Caelapes) hereby submits itself for consideration for acceptance into the United Federation of Allied Nations (herein UFAN). We, along with top attorneys at the Ministry of Justice, have scrutinized the language of the UFAN charter and have found its merits to be in line with those of our nation. We have an impeccable civil and political rights record and have no nuclear, biological, or chemical armament.

We have contracted factories producing materiel that we are willing to export, following Caelapene induction to the Federation, to UFAN nations. Furthermore, mathematicians and software engineers in Caelapes are developing highly secure cryptographic processes, which we are willing to export to UFAN nations following Caelapene induction. We are also able to contribute to the Federation through monetary donations and re-assignment of armed forces personnel to the Federal Rapid Response Force.

I, Arturo Torino Qælapeo, hereby swear my Loyalty on behalf of my people and government to the Charter & Prime Directive of the United Federation of Allied Nations. I shall uphold the Charter and Prime Directive with every power that I am granted by the people of my nation.
