The Military Authority of Skyian Overseas Territories

As stated before we at The Military Authority of Skyian Overseas Territories and The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky, recognize the legitimate claim The Colonial Authority of Cohenian Sudan has made to the area previously occupied by Shansekia. The Shasekian colonist themselves have given the legitimate claim of their land to the Cohenians.

We demand that Surailia revoke their illegitimate claim to the area and cease trying to sell off things they don't not even own. They have twenty four hours to do so, if they do not then we will be forced to occupy the colony until the Cohenians send troops to occupy it.

Also, if the colony is 'sold' [although we are not sure how you sell something you don't own] to any nation, we will again be forced to occupy it and fight off the invaders for the Cohenians.

The 3rd Naval Fleet is a mere 750km off the west coast and carries with it 500,000 soldiers of the 2nd Skyian Marine Field Army. The 4th Naval Fleet and another 500,000 troops have been placed on alert also. Please make the wise decision.

I am keeping Lesotho :( sry.

But west Africa is up for best offer ( I'm also selling by RL nation

In which case, here is our bid for Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia & Togo

- US$ 3 billion
- Full rights for Surailia to set up military bases
- Full Imperial dual citizenship granted to the colonists
- Full economic freedom, Surailian companies can operate freely in the colonies.
- Surailia will be allowed 10 seats in the colonial legislatures

- Territories will be returned to Surailia in the event that they choose to return to the African Continent

The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky

We warn the insolent nation of Kirav to stop the senseless bidding, the colony does not belong to the Surailians. All you will be buying is hardships for you families as we occupy the nation and destroy any military units you send to try to enforce your illegitimate claim.

The colony of Carilos belongs solely to the United Imperiums of the Cohenias and Zykrania. That is all.

Let the Magisterium put it to you in a fairly simple manner.

We'll buy the west african portion from you for an excellent price - whatever you name, or we'll invade it, and claim it for ourselves.

Proclamation from His Majesty the Emperor

Let it be known that the former Shansekian colony known as Carilos is part of the United Imperiums. Any attempt to purchase or recolonize the area will result in a full declaration of war from the United Imperiums of the Cohenias and Zykrania.

Let it also be known that the nations formerly known as the Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Togo have been ceded to The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky.

Fine. Spoilsport.

Tacoo smiled at the mention of the Governor being ceremonial. "Let me tell you, Vantanas had unsuccessful coup after Vante-Kroandon War. Coup killed King Barzahl, and to keep peace, executives made executive branch ceremonial. Good for me, as a Senator, eh?"

OOC: To the tune of the Beatle's "For the Benefit of Mister Kite!"

For the benefit of PAB there will be a show tonight in Africa. The diplomats will all be there, late of Shansekia, what a scene. Over guards and horses, tea and seats, lastly through a trade zone that's really free. In this way PAB will challenge the world!

The celebrated PAB performs this feat later today at conference hall. The performers will dance and sing, as diplomats file in, don't be late. The gov't assures the public that there conference will be second to none. And of course Tacoo the Native sings the anthem!

The show begins at ten to nine, when PAB hosts a dinner without a sound. And PAB will demonstrate, in some assets he'll trade by ground, 'ving some days in preperation. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. And tonight PAB is hosting it all!

"Aye. That may be so. In Xirya, one of our other colonies, the confederal tribal government ceded most of their power to us because they wanted to use our intellectual superiority to save them from a series of disaters that had come upon them. Now, however, Kiravians make up 2/3 of the population, and Xirya is an economic power. So, I do not know how things will turn out here, but it is, as you say, a matter that must be discussed with the Protector."

"That is a very interesting story. How many colonies do you have anyways? Are they large in certain areas, or small throughout the globe?" the translator translated the short questions.

Uiri bids for Senegal, Gambia and Mali for a price of $25 billion. Terms of the deal may be settled. The Beatus bought a polar territory from me so, I have that much. You can even check the 'North Pole Claims' thread.

Official Statement

The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky


We thank the Cohenians for their great gift they have given us, our relations continue to be among the strongest in the world. We will make sure the former nation formally known as the Ivory Coast [now know as the Skyian Colony of the Ivory Coast] prospers under our leadership, to show how important this gift if.

However, let it be known that we will cede the nations formally know as Burkina Faso, and Togo to the The Crown Commonwealth of Praetonia as a gift that will benefit both of our great nations.

President Kara Maddox,
President of the Armed Capitalist Republic

Skyian 2nd Naval Fleet
750km from the Skyian Ivory Coast

As soon as the orders arrived, the fleet began to move towards the Ivory Coast, thousands of marines began to load in helicopters on the amphibious assault ships. They would be the first forces to land, resistance was expected to be light so the heavier forces would land much after the more mobile airborne did.

The Skyian Naval Fleet was probably one of the best thing that could ever happen to the economy of the Ivory Coast, hundreds of thousands of sailors and soldiers all with spare money to spend on it's economy. They also brought another good thing, the Skyian Economy. Within the week Skyian companies and investors would flood into the country.

Surailia, I humbly request that you check your TGs.

And may I please humbly suggest to all nations to not go and barter and sell nations in Africa like this is some sort of game? Lives are on the line here, and to have them be dehumanized as 'pawns' for some empire far away does not seem very fair.

Office of the Governor

And may we suggest to the "United States" of Africa that we are here for the purpose of improving these peoples lives? Already literacy rates are up across the Barronian region as children flock into the schools we have built. Law and order - up. Utilities coverage - up. Already, these people are seeing improvements to their lives that would have seemed unearthly before. Running water. Electricity. Cars, planes, and trains - all set to improve the society that these people live and work in.

Please, give us more credit. We not all of us are greedy consumerists, out to make a cheap buck and throw the people away like so much gone-off meat.

Government House
Georgetown
Praetonian West Africa

Sir Hugh Fitzwilliam sipped his tea. Reading his crumpled air-mail copy of The Kingston Herald he became increasingly angry. Interesting things were afoot - the election, the growing dispute with Kahanistan, the invasion of Shansekia - but they were happening a long way away, in Continentia, where there was real power and influence. His posting as Governor-General of Praetonian West Africa, though nominally one of great prestige, and removable only at the discretion of the King himself, was widely acknowledged to be a career-ending job. While he suspected political conspiracy, he accepted that it was also possible he simply wasn't considered worthy of a career-advancing promotion in His Majesty's Government.

"Governor-General." It was Air Vice-Marshal Fielding. The Governor-General stood up, and the airman saluted. "Sir, five minutes ago an aircraft from the communist states to the North passed into our airspace. They claim to be a diplomatic convoy attending a summit. Should I grant them permission to overfly the territory?"

The Governor-General sat back down, "Yes, yes," he flapped, irritably. Another dull business. He did not know who these communists were, and he was of the opinion that a representative of King George IV ought not to bother himself with such trifling states.

The airman saluted. "Sir." He turned to leave, stamping his polished boots against the equally polished marble floor.

"Although-" the Governor-General began. The scheme had just occured to him - it was madness, perhaps, but it was also brilliant. It could secure his advancement and make him a household name. It could also break him, but he imagined himself broken already. "Suppose I were to distrust this aircraft... do we have the means to force it down?"

The airman turned. "Why of course, Sir! His Majesty's 91st Colonial Interceptor Squadron 500km from the Northern border is ready to scramble at a moment's notice."

"Jolly good," the Governor-General said, smiling for the first time since he had arrived in this godforsaken country, "make the proper arrangements, will you? Then join me for a drink."

"Sir?" But the Governor-General had returned, contented, to his paper, oblivious to the Vice-Marshal's presence.

Several kilometers from the Northern border
Praetonian West Africa

The squadron of twelve Shrike (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/RACShrike4.png) land interceptor variants reached the border quickly. They kept a distance from the foreign plane, even exchanging friendly chatter. They allowed it to continue its course within Praetonian territory, presenting nothing amiss and making only friendly gestures towards it.

And then they swept to the side and came upon the plane from behind, forming up around it, surrounding it on all sides.

"Foreign aircraft, permission to fly within Praetonian airspace has been denied pending proof of identity check. You are ordered to come with us to IFC Georgetown and present yourselves to customs officials. Provided all is well, you will be permitted to continue with your journey. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause."

From inside the Boeing the only feeling was of panic as despair, the commander had shut down the communicator and said

"This is obviously a damn trap! I already sent the encrypted signal"

"What are they going to attempt? What is this signal?", said Adib Al Hassad, one of the two Algerian diplomats, who was at the pilots cabin

"It's a request for them to send aid in the form of 50 S-500 long-range SAM mobile systems and 300 F-35s to protect our communes air space as a safety precaution, it's important to be careful as there are many ambitious men in Africa, now Adib, look at this limited information: trying to resist them is suicide. The ECMs installed in this plane won't help much and the chances of escaping in one piece are of 0.5%"

He looked at some public-domain information about the Shrike, passed it to the others and agreed.

"Commander Omar, they agree we should comply with their orders rather than attempting an insane evasive maneuver, inform them before they lose their patience", Adib replied

The Commander turned the communicator on again and informed: "Positive, we shall move to IFC Georgetown as requested"

Then at the sound-isolated passengers cabin the diplomatic staff was at a very agitated mood:

"They are going to try something nasty. What should we do?"

Adib looked at another Argelian and said:

"Mislead them, let's exchange clothes and Atallah, you will be the diplomat"

"What? Adib, do you think I am a fool?"

"Our situation here is not good Atallah, we require some voluntary demonstrations of courage and sacrifice to ensure the best for our people and for those other people we share the same ideals with. This may pretty much be some kind of scheme or conspiracy that will bring drastic consequences against us if successful, I hope you understand Atallah, should you do not return, your name shall be forever engraved in the memorials of martyrs."

"Adib, if we going to die anyway, I guess I will accept this and die with honor."

The other diplomats did the same with the security crew. Now some of the security crew of the plane would pretend to be diplomats while the real diplomats would be discretely dressed as members of the security crew. Fortunately the open share of general information about diplomacy would allow them to pretend quite well. Finally the "diplomats" also had hidden ballistic knives and the Third Spanish States pretenders agreed to have cyanide pills hidden inside their mouths should the worse come.

--------

At the same time, several squadrons of fighters totaling 300 F-35 came from Third Spanish States to the Algerian Communes airports in major northern cities, and more transports arrived carrying several S-500 surface to air missiles and their mobile systems and also the logistics personell for the airplanes. They feared the encrypted distress signal also meant war may arrive. On the other hand, border patrols in the border with Praetonian West Africa have tripled. Maybe they were just being excessively paranoid, but at the same time many technicals were hastily assembled in major Algerian cities and arms sales to civilians were on the increase.

-------

At the same time a message was given to the United States of Africa

And may I please humbly suggest to all nations to not go and barter and sell nations in Africa like this is some sort of game? Lives are on the line here, and to have them be dehumanized as 'pawns' for some empire far away does not seem very fair.

(and don't worry we make sure that everyone is safe when we leave)

Miamoria wishes to claim Comoros and offers to buy the Archipelago from Uiri. We are willing to pay 160 million for the Archipelago.

"That is a very interesting story. How many colonies do you have anyways? Are they large in certain areas, or small throughout the globe?" the translator translated the short questions.


"I'm not sure of the exact number, and it depends on what you consider a colony, but there are definately quite a few. I'd say that most of them are of medium size. But it varies. For example, my home colony of Candava only has 800,000 people, but Xirya has 15 million. And there are trading posts, forts, and minor colonies scattered around the globe that can have as few as forty people. They have their own governments, and all get representation in the Senate."

OOC: I know that this sounds like "empire-wank" or something, but it really isn't. I subtract the colonial populations (except Xirya's because I have a puppet for it) from Kirav's, to keep things realistic. And the Empire is based on the colonies, not the metropolitan government. I don't rp most of the colonia anyway.

I assume you are refering to the Zanzibar Archipelago? I do believe Comoros is unclaimed so I think you should have no problem there. We will sell the Archipelago and Mafia Island for 175 million but, we reserve the right to buy everything back for 175 million and the right to use Zanzibar's ports.

"Sounds like you have a nice empire on your hands. I suppose that Kirav is always looking for more territroy, hm? Well, I recommend to learn the native tongue or teach someone your tongue in order to ease communications and such. Then you can go and propose treaties which they will most definetly understand. Just a recommendation from me though, I'm not a proffessional conquerer or anything, I just got a greater kingdom with Uir help," the translator explained to the Vice-Governor on behalf of the High King.

OOC: It doesn't matter to me.

"Sound advice nonetheless, and I appreciate it. I'm sure that the Secriat of Colonisation would see its value as well. With the exception of the Governor, none of our officials know Afrikaans, or Shona, or Zulu. But, as you say, it would be quite beneficial. I will have to relay that to him when I return."

OOC: actions happened at the begining of the previous sentence.

The translator said, "Actually I'm speaking Kiswahili.[King laughed] I would suggest learning Chichewa. I do believe it is spoken in most of your colony. [the King pulled out a map and pointed to an area of the Kirav colony]. The exception would be this tract here. [points at botswana]. You'd need Twsana for them, but it could also be used here, [points at South Africa and Zimbabwe], so you'd most likely need both languages, plus your own, of course."

(Map looks like the map on the front page only Carilos is in Orange.)

"Hey, maybe Coscivian will end up being like Afrikaans and start blending in with the native languages. Of course, those languages will nonetheless remain dominant," he said as he wrote the names of the languages that the King had listed on a piece of carbon paper.

"Hmmm...not likely unless Tswana and Chichewa also begin to mix. That would probably end up making a new Bantu-related language altogether which could be both good and bad. On the good side, everyone is using one language. On the bad side, the original Bantu languages are lost," the translator finished.

(OOC: Both of the mentioned languages are very closely related.)

"Aye, a double-edged sword it is. With a language goes an ethos and an entire culture, and when it dies, the culture dies with it. The Imperial Academy launched a project long ago to go around the world and record dying tongues, as to attept to ressurect them in the future."

OOC: Really? I've not studied Afro-linguistics at all. I really should do some reading on it.

Vantanian Somaliland

The city had, with some success, been raised up from the ruins of the old city. Now, a glistening metropolis stood as a testimony to Vantanian greatness. As in South Port, the Vantanians had built two tracks of monorail from the harbour, "Import" and "Export". In conjunction with the Wolves, the monorail extended out of the city and into Wolven East Africa, bringing Vantanian goods from as far away as Vantanian Upper Polar to the Empire of the Wolf. Here, there was trade between the Vantanians and the Wolves, and as the "Export" monorail was emptied, it made a turn and became the "Import" monorail, bringing Wolvish goods to New Calcutta, where the ships then ferried the supplies to locations across the Republic.

Barronian West African Territories

Tacoo smiled at the mention of the Governor being ceremonial. "Let me tell you, Vantanas had unsuccessful coup after Vante-Kroandon War. Coup killed King Barzahl, and to keep peace, executives made executive branch ceremonial. Good for me, as a Senator, eh?"

Meanwhile, at the Gulf of Guinea, three merchant ships sailed in, heading steadily towards the Barronian West African Territories. As they neared land, the Vantanians sent out an all to familiar message:

Official State Telegram:
To: Barronian West African Territories
From: African Division, The Vantanian Merchant Fleet
Greetings from the Free Republic! We come here with a proposal concerning your colony. While we could just negotiate it through telegram, we find it much more formal if we were to land and negotiate it personally. We assure you, are intentions are not negative in any way.

Vantanian Cape

The influx of Kiravians had been expected, after all, who could resist? They were, through the Department of Immigration, integrated into the community, and given jobs. Meanwhile, the transaction of goods in South Port were greatly benifiting the overall Free Republic's coffers. The Africa Project was working out very well, and with this success Vantanas was recovering from the losses sustained in the Vante-Kroandon War.

Vantanian Congo

Meanwhile, Vantanian Congo kept on keeping on, the oil offshore being a bargaining chip for the establishment of further poleis across the continent. Anyways, the natives had been pacified, and were now undergoing reeducation. Everything they were taught was wrong, traditions had been set up so elders could have a laugh at the idiocy of the young ones, etc. The children under three had been confiscated by the government and were being raised as proper young Vantanians. The old culture was dying out fast, and those that clung to it died along with it.

May I RP as Ibo tribesmen?

"A coup? Oh my. We don't have too many of those in Barronia - the iron fist of the government usually makes sure nothing untoward takes place. But naturally, it appears it worked well, if not for the unfortunate King Barzahl - it brings democracy, which, when it works well, is certainly a force for the people."

Port of New Verona (ex-Mbini), Guinian Province of Barronian West Africa
To Vantanian Merchant Fleet African Division
From Imperial Port Authorities, New Verona

Your request has been granted. Pilots will meet your ships as you pass the North Gabonian border with the Guinian Province. They will bring you in safely to Docking Stations 4, 5, and 6a of the Merchantile Port Sector of the Port of New Verona (MPS-PNV). Prepare to be boarded, and we will have someone ready for you on the portside.

---

Within minutes, 3 pilots had been dispatched to negotiate the ships through the dangerous part of their journey - the entry to the port. Now a maze of docks, depots and outsticking cranes, the pilots would ensure the ships docked safely.

On the portside of Docking Station 4, Magistrate Eli Peterson was waiting. Taking a deep breath of the sea breeze, he looked up at the ship that was being pushed to the dockside by tugs. He could just make out the pilot in his uniform, now shaking hands with the captain. Leaning back against the car, he waited for the Vantanians to emerge.

OOC:

Vontanas: A Magistrate in Barronia is a diplomat. The higher the rank, the higher the military suffix. This guy's pretty low, as he's on colonial duty, but you'd get Magistrate-General, Magistrate-Brigadier, etc, etc.
Bienga: It's not up to me personally, but as I believe Cameroon is under BWA, if you do get to do so, don't mess with the government. We still keep agent orange handy, and we have more than enough chemsuits. :D

"The pleasure is all mine Governor Salvont," smiled Administrator Yuklig as he entered the building. "I'd be delighted to come to your game reserve but only if you excuse my rather poor marksmanship. Unlike many, I am not gifted with martial skills," Yuklig apologised, "but I will make it up to you if you come to Wolven West Africa. Most of the land is untamed so far, and it makes for fantastic off roading. Of course, if speed is your thing, then we have our massive coastal superhighway. I'm sure I could pull a few strings to clear a stretch and let us try out a few motors," he winked. "A drink would be lovely. Tell me, how is your colony coming along?"



OOC: Bump for PAB as I don't think he replied to this...

OOC: Bump for PAB as I don't think he replied to this...

OOC: No, I hadn't. My bad - missed it.

"Ha ha, I'm sure we can let it go. Besides, with the size of the rifles, it's hard to miss! As for visiting the Wolven territories, I must say, that does sound like an excellent idea - I'm partial to keeping my own driving skills up, and I'm sure I can call in a few favours and get a sports car or two shipped over."

He stepped over to a small side table, before opening a cupboard.

"So, Administrator - your poison of choice?"

OOC: No sweat man, you have rather a lot on your hands

IC:

"Well if you don't manage to get any vehicles over Governor, I'm sure we'll be able to find something to suit your needs. Who knows, if we manage to establish a decent free trade zone, we might have vehicles of many nationalities to choose from," he winked before eyeing up the drinks cupboard.

"Single whiskey if you please, no ice," asked the Administrator.

"A coup? Oh my. We don't have too many of those in Barronia - the iron fist of the government usually makes sure nothing untoward takes place. But naturally, it appears it worked well, if not for the unfortunate King Barzahl - it brings democracy, which, when it works well, is certainly a force for the people."

"He was extreme, from what Senators told me. Good wartime King, but unacceptable in peace. Wanted to extend Vante-Kroandon War indefinetly, and had... Draconian methods. Death started peace talks, and started end of war."

He could just make out the pilot in his uniform, now shaking hands with the captain. Leaning back against the car, he waited for the Vantanians to emerge.

Twenty men in black suits poured out of the ship, guns ablazing. Screaming civilians ran this way and that, as bullets fell them all one by one. Their leader, a man in a fidora with a ridiculously large feather, screamed out as the others rained down machine gun fire on the still living, ending their lives quickly, "TAKE THIS YOU HIPPIES". A baby crawled towards her mother's corpse, but never made it as one of the men tossed a grenade at it. As police forces arrived at the scene, they too were felled under concentrated automatic fire.

During the initial burst, several people ran into nearby ships for protection. To prevent any brave counterattacks from these civilians, the ships cannons were activated and soon rained down shells on these ships, mostly merchant and fishing ships, and they were blown to smithereens. Satisfied with the destruction of the ships, the cannons redirected, and blew away the police barricade, before aiming even deeper into the city, their shells hitting indiscriminately every building they could reach. One of their early hits was a play ground, followed shortly by a daycare center, both completely destroyed.

"Hey, turn off the flick! We've landed!" the diplomats sighed, and with the push of a button the terrorist/mafia movie was turned off, and the Vantanian diplomats exited the ship. They were dressed in the traditional Vantanian diplomatic uniform, a warm brown trenchcoat, a same colored cap, and a white shirt. Walking down the ramp, the Vantanians met the Magistrate. "Are you the official we're here to meet?" asked one of the diplomats.

OOC: No sweat man, you have rather a lot on your hands

"Single whiskey if you please, no ice," asked the Administrator.

OOC: No kidding. I was about to declare war on Vontanas for a second there.

IC:

"Very true, Administrator. Now, then, what do we have here. Ah, a single. Found in a cellar when we took over our recent Mirranian colony, I'm told. Now there were some fighters, they say. Still holding out in parts of the main city. Still, it's only a matter of time. Oppression, it seems, is the best form of offense in those sorts of occassions - keep the populace under the thumb, and the rebels will eventually collapse.

Hmm...a 1954 by the universal calender. Well, it must be a decent one, otherwise it'd be in the barracks."

Taking two glasses from the cupboard, he poured both men a glass.

"To what shall we toast, Adminstrator?

"He was extreme, from what Senators told me. Good wartime King, but unacceptable in peace. Wanted to extend Vante-Kroandon War indefinetly, and had... Draconian methods. Death started peace talks, and started end of war."

"Hmm. Sounds like a good idea to have gotten rid of him! Anyway, the conference room is just here on the left, the Governor will be with you soon. We'll be starting shortly, although there are one or two more guests to arrive - but I fear such things may not be able to wait."

Twenty men in black suits poured out of the ship, guns ablazing. Screaming civilians ran this way and that, as bullets fell them all one by one. Their leader, a man in a fidora with a ridiculously large feather, screamed out as the others rained down machine gun fire on the still living, ending their lives quickly, "TAKE THIS YOU HIPPIES". A baby crawled towards her mother's corpse, but never made it as one of the men tossed a grenade at it. As police forces arrived at the scene, they too were felled under concentrated automatic fire.

During the initial burst, several people ran into nearby ships for protection. To prevent any brave counterattacks from these civilians, the ships cannons were activated and soon rained down shells on these ships, mostly merchant and fishing ships, and they were blown to smithereens. Satisfied with the destruction of the ships, the cannons redirected, and blew away the police barricade, before aiming even deeper into the city, their shells hitting indiscriminately every building they could reach. One of their early hits was a play ground, followed shortly by a daycare center, both completely destroyed.

"Hey, turn off the flick! We've landed!" the diplomats sighed, and with the push of a button the terrorist/mafia movie was turned off, and the Vantanian diplomats exited the ship. They were dressed in the traditional Vantanian diplomatic uniform, a warm brown trenchcoat, a same colored cap, and a white shirt. Walking down the ramp, the Vantanians met the Magistrate. "Are you the official we're here to meet?" asked one of the diplomats.

"That I am, sir. Magistrate Eli Peterson. I'm the senior diplomat here with the Magisterium. Please, take a seat inside the car, we can talk on the way to the government offices."

The driver, allthewhile silent, was a native, but a well-paid one. Jobs within the public sector usually were. He opened the door, allowing the diplomats inside. The car was of pullman design, as was all state cars, allowing two seats facing forward, and two facing back, with all manners of gadgetry in the armrests.

"Driver - to the Government Offices, please. Front entrance will do."

The driver simply nodded, before activating the privacy screen and pulling the car away.

"So, gentlemen. What can I do for you."

OOC: I saw that. Gotta give full credit to Vontanas, I'm pretty sure everyone who read that went 'WTF?'

IC:

"Mirranians? Can't say I'm familiar with that nation," puzzled the Administator. "Then again, new nations are popping onto the international scene every week, I'm surprised most national intelligence agencies even bother these days. But back to your point about oppression Governor, I must say that I agree. A strong arm shows the weak who is in charge, take for example our struggle against the people of Die Boerstaat. After they persistently refused to bow down, we reduced them to literally a medieval method of existence. All technology and buildings were destroyed or confiscated. That showed them," he scoffed. "Of course that was back under the Pact, though one might find there are more resemblances to the current regime and the Pact of Iron than first meet the eye..." he trailed off before taking a glass and raising it.

"To new opportunities Governor."

"To new opportunities Governor."

OOC: I know I did.

"They are - or were - relatively unknown, to be honest, a small city on an island. Some other nation found the land, offered it up to the international community - well, what would you do? They put up a little fight, to their credit, but, well, outnumbered and outgunned.

Now, I have to admit, I have heard of the Pact of Iron. Sounds like a rather...well...ruthless reign. I do recall my father talking about it - he wasn't very pleased with whatever you had done at the time, he used just about every curse he knew, and some I think he made up!

Anyway. To new opportunities!"

He raised his glass, before taking it to his lips.

"Now then, Administrator, I daresay we shouldn't keep the others waiting."

I, Miamorga agree to buy the Zanzibar Archipelago and the Mafia island from Uiri for 175 million. I also agree to let Uiri use the ports freely.

The Administrator took a sip and grinned, "yes, the Pact was rather detested in international circles. We had almost no friends abroad, a situation that," he took a sip of his drink, "we seem to be correcting now. Ah, most excellent!" He smiled, lifting the drink in praise.

"Yes, I suppose we ought to go down and mingle. We do have a lot to cover."

The two men stepped down into a larger area, before the Governor greeted the ambassadors.

"Gentlemen! A pleasure to see so many of us here, indeed, it does bode well for the continent. If we'd all like to enter the room with the double doors, we can take our seats at the table, and we can begin the discussions!"

After greeting the visitors, the Governor opened the doors with a flourish, before taking his seat at the table. In order to promote unity with the other leaders, he had opted for a round table.

Waiting until all the delegates had sat, he began his introduction.

"Gentlemen, diplomats, ambassadors, governors and administrators. It is my pleasure and honour to have you here in Barronian West Africa today, on this most honourable of causes.

It has been some time since the first of us came to this country, looking for prosperity, land, freedom, and to civilise people who had been living in abject poverty for years. For some, this has gone well. For others, no doubt there will have been difficulty along this road. Nonetheless, we must not give up hope that we can one day bring these people under the wings of civilisation - whether that means remaining a colony of a nation, or self-rule.

Now, there are many of us working toward this honourable goal, and naturally, co-operation is much better than conflict. So as a matter of course, the first immediately being recognition of each and every colony, dominion, country, whatever you should deem it on this continent.

On the piece of paper in front of me, I have a treaty binding by law - a treaty that I hope each of you will sign. It merely signifies your willingness to recognise the other parties on this continent in a legal and physical sense, to agree upon the international borders as detailed in this (http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/Cookesland/585px-Blank_Map-Africa_svg2-6-4-2.png) map as it stands now, and to recognise any changes that are made as a result of land changing hands. I trust you will all take care to read it before signing it, although I can assure you - small print is not our strong point."

Treaty of African Recognition

We, the undersigned, agree to:

1: Recognise all territories, colonies, dominions, countries etc. as sovereign, under the jurisdiction only of the government of their owner.

Signed:



"As you can see gentlemen, this is a short and sweet treaty. Very simple, yet very effective. You may sign as you wish."

OOC: I've just realised - I'm bollocks at writing treaties.

"Aye, a double-edged sword it is. With a language goes an ethos and an entire culture, and when it dies, the culture dies with it. The Imperial Academy launched a project long ago to go around the world and record dying tongues, as to attept to ressurect them in the future."

OOC: Really? I've not studied Afro-linguistics at all. I really should do some reading on it.

"Yes, I suppose people and languages will do as they do and there isn't much you can do to force them to speak a language unless you teach it to them and curb their rights. Sometimes borders are drawn out of no where and several tribes live in the area and it can be hard to get a language which all the tribes may use," the translator explained in English what the High King explained in Swahili.

OOC: Wikipedia is your friend. Demographics are loads of help in determining which language.

I, Miamorga agree to buy the Zanzibar Archipelago and the Mafia island from Uiri for 175 million. I also agree to let Uiri use the ports freely.

We thank His Imperial Highness, Emperor Miamorga for his generousity and wish him best of luck with his new colony.

OOC: I suggest an RP post.

"Very interesting," the Protector muttered, following the Barronian.

OOC: Barronia, I think you missed this although I'm not certain.

OOC: Barronia, I think you missed this although I'm not certain.

OOC: Ah, so I did.

The Garrisson-Master turned a corner, just as the Governor, followed by the Skgorrian Administrator, came down the set of stairs in front of them.

"If you'd like to wait here sir, you'll be taken into the conference momentarily."

He bowed, before making his way out.

OOC: Ah, so I did.

The Garrisson-Master turned a corner, just as the Governor, followed by the Skgorrian Administrator, came down the set of stairs in front of them.

"If you'd like to wait here sir, you'll be taken into the conference momentarily."

He bowed, before making his way out.

The Protector made his way towards the two men, "Hello, I am the Protector of the Protectorate of Uir Afirik." He held out his hand to be shaken.

The Protector made his way towards the two men, "Hello, I am the Protector of the Protectorate of Uir Afirik." He held out his hand to be shaken.

"A pleasure to meet you sir. Governor Robert-Pierre Salvont, at your service." He bowed, before shaking the Protector's hand warmly, a beaming smile on his face. He was truly happy that so many leaders had come - so many opportunities!

"Have you met the Administrator for the Wolven West African territories? This is Herman Yuklig."

OOC: I was very careful not to mention nationality, or anything at all. I must say, it did spice up what would have been a boring post otherwise.

"Hmm. Sounds like a good idea to have gotten rid of him! Anyway, the conference room is just here on the left, the Governor will be with you soon. We'll be starting shortly, although there are one or two more guests to arrive - but I fear such things may not be able to wait."

"I am thanking you Soldier. You have bringing me good company. Here, being for your time." Tacoo said, rummaging in the pockets of his tribal robe until, with a short, "Ah hah!" he pulled out a can and handed it to him. The can had the word "SPAM" on it, causing the soldier to take it graciously, thank Tacoo smiling, and walk away. Upon later inspection however, the contents of the can would be revealed as no less then five hundred Universal Standard Dollars, wrapped around a medium sized pearl.

From there, Tacoo followed the Governor's instructions. Looking carefully on the map, he raised an objection.

"Africans, indigenous or foreign, I would liking to start greeting you all on behalf of Free Republic of Vantanas. Now, I bear an objection to treaty! It does not include two Vantanian colonies, recognized by the nations purchased from! These cities are: South Point, exclave in Austro-Africa, and New Calcutta, exclave in Wolven East Africa. Until they included on map, my nation will NOT sign treaty. Also, we are negotiating third city, somewhere in BWAT."

"That I am, sir. Magistrate Eli Peterson. I'm the senior diplomat here with the Magisterium. Please, take a seat inside the car, we can talk on the way to the government offices."

The driver, allthewhile silent, was a native, but a well-paid one. Jobs within the public sector usually were. He opened the door, allowing the diplomats inside.

"Driver - to the Government Offices, please. Front entrance will do."

The driver simply nodded, before activating the privacy screen and pulling the car away.

"So, gentlemen. What can I do for you."

"Our proposal is simple. We would like to propose to the Barronian government, a proposal concerning the BWAT. This proposal would be formed by the Free Republic proposing to the BWAT that a port, proposed as a medium to large sized port, would be bought from the Barronians under this proposal, for the use by Vantanas. The proposed use of the proposed port would be strictly commercial, and serving as an intermediary for proposed trade between the BWAT and Vantanas, as well as a proposed rest station for proposed Vantanian African traders. The proposed price for the proposed port where the proposed trade would occur is ten to twelve million USD's. This is the proposal proposed by the Free Republic."

The Scandinvan Empire has officaly subdued the last remanents of the orginal governments of their Central African colonies through force and had forced all the peoples of their vast colony into submission with a force of only one hundred thousand soldiers who had expertly been dispatched, with heavy aircraft support and large amoints of armored vechiles too, had allowed them to destroy the capital cities of the various lands they occupied and they had used terrorism to make the people live in fear of what might happen if the rule of the Scandinvan Empire had failed, which would be to return to a state of anarchy which had directly proceded Scandinvan military occupation.

With the military occupation completed the Imperial military forces began to construct military fortifications across the country as they began to change into an occupying army as they also began to concentrate their efforts into securing complete control over the various resource desposits scattered acrooss their newly conquered colonies. As well, the first wave of settlers occupied the more temperate southern regions of their Empire by building farming centers, though with large amounts of natives being coereced into working on the growing farms that were being designated as plantations for the growth of cash crops and other food stuffs that the Fatherland of the Scandinvans craved for.

OOC: I was very careful not to mention nationality, or anything at all. I must say, it did spice up what would have been a boring post otherwise.

Upon later inspection however, the contents of the can would be revealed as no less then five hundred Universal Standard Dollars, wrapped around a medium sized pearl.

"Th-thankyou Senator," the Captain replied, slightly bemused. As he rounded the corner, he opened the can to find it's hidden contents.

"Holy shit...is that real? I gotta go tell the boys about this!"

From there, Tacoo followed the Governor's instructions. Looking carefully on the map, he raised an objection.

"Africans, indigenous or foreign, I would liking to start greeting you all on behalf of Free Republic of Vantanas. Now, I bear an objection to treaty!

Until they included on map, my nation will NOT sign treaty. Also, we are negotiating third city, somewhere in BWAT."

OOC: That it certainly did.

"I appreciate your concerns Senator, however I did state that we would also agree to respect any changes made as a result of land changing hands. It is unfortunate that this map isn't updated, although my personal cartographers are working now to rectify the situation. You have my personal assurance that your claims and purchases will be dealt with accordingly.

As for your third city, I'm sure it will be dealt with in due course, and my cartographers will make the necessary edits."

"Our proposal is simple. We would like to propose to the Barronian government, a proposal concerning the BWAT. This proposal would be formed by the Free Republic proposing to the BWAT that a port, proposed as a medium to large sized port, would be bought from the Barronians under this proposal, for the use by Vantanas.

The proposed price for the proposed port where the proposed trade would occur is ten to twelve million USD's. This is the proposal proposed by the Free Republic."

"Hmm. This is indeed an interesting proposal. We have several ports that would be suitable, but indeed, we are concerned at giving away such strategic parts of our territory. Let me make a telephone call."

Peterson pulls out a phone, and speaks to someone on the other side, obviously his superior. Eventually, he hangs up.

"Here is the proposal of the Magisterium. It is not willing to give up one of our current ports, but will instead offer to build you one. It will be slightly out-of-town, so to speak, but placable anywhere along our coastline, and will cost you a fraction of the cost, if you agree to joint Barronian-Vantanian control. It will have only the best links to Barronian West Africa and the world, through our renowned rail network, it's own airport, and comprehensive road terminus. You pick the location, and we will take care of it - $8 million USD for joint ownership.

We will maintain overall ownership of the land, but the port and it's attachments will be marked as Vantanian, and the only way we can legally remove you is if you agree to it - or else with military force, which will no doubt find us in hot water as per any alliances you may have.

Any questions?"

"A pleasure to meet you sir. Governor Robert-Pierre Salvont, at your service." He bowed, before shaking the Protector's hand warmly, a beaming smile on his face. He was truly happy that so many leaders had come - so many opportunities!

"Have you met the Administrator for the Wolven West African territories? This is Herman Yuklig."

"It is very nice to meet you, Governor. It is also nice to meet you Herman Yuklig. I hope the summit will be very fruitful, don't you?" the Protector handed out his hand to be shaken by the Wolven Ambassador.

OOC: I'm trying to come up with an up-to-date map for that Vantanian bloke. Quit trading cities! LoL! Makes my life suck.

EDIT FOR UIRI

"I'm positive it will be, Sir. I'm sure we all of us have great plans for this continent."

"Yes, I suppose people and languages will do as they do and there isn't much you can do to force them to speak a language unless you teach it to them and curb their rights. Sometimes borders are drawn out of no where and several tribes live in the area and it can be hard to get a language which all the tribes may use," the translator explained in English what the High King explained in Swahili.

OOC: Wikipedia is your friend. Demographics are loads of help in determining which language.

"True, though we have no intention of forcing the Africans to attend schools. They may if they wish, and it would probably make economic sense to learn Coscivian, but we like to give them a choice. So far, English has been a sufficient lingua franca. Nonetheless, I will certainly bring it to the Tribal Congress(A deliberative body of Austro-Africa's tribal leaders) for them to discuss. It could ease tensions amongst any rival groups in the area, which is good no matter which way you turn it."

Moroni, Grand Comore island
Afro-Miamorian islands
7:00am

The ship sent by Miamoria crashed against the waves as it landed on Grand Comore island. The captain and settlers sent by the homeland emerged from the belly of the ship. As they arose they noticed the gathering of natives surrounding the vessel. One of the settlers moved closer to the natives. He stated, using a mixture of gestures and signs telling the natives how they came in peace and how they wished to live on the island. The cheif of the natives explained using similar communication methods that he was the ruler and they would have to obey him. The captain reached for his gun pulling out his 45 calibre colt pistol. After noticing no one had witnessed this action he rose the pistol and shot the cheif immediately.

None of the natives dared challenge him. One of them however checked the cheif's pulse. He said something to his tribesmen and they were all shocked. The settlers deduced that the natives had figured out that the cheif was now dead. There were constant murmurs among the crowd but no one dared attack the settlers. Now having established his role as leader, the captain began running the village and named it the capital of the islands now belonging to Miamoria.

"True, though we have no intention of forcing the Africans to attend schools. They may if they wish, and it would probably make economic sense to learn Coscivian, but we like to give them a choice. So far, English has been a sufficient lingua franca. Nonetheless, I will certainly bring it to the Tribal Congress(A deliberative body of Austro-Africa's tribal leaders) for them to discuss. It could ease tensions amongst any rival groups in the area, which is good no matter which way you turn it."

The translator performed his job well, "Yes, a law passing body has yet to be established although I am hoping that it wil be within the next few days. We can't force the same principles as in Uir voting where everyone must vote as we have not done a concensus nor did we count how many people who have been living for 16 years, which is the majority age here, there were in villages who partook in being under Uir protection and my rule. I guess whoever votes will be registered and whoever doesn't won't exist. Not good, but what could we really do?"

"I'm positive it will be, Sir. I'm sure we all of us have great plans for this continent."

"Yes, some may exclude certain parts though and it is those who I am worrying about. What if some want to exclude East Africa, or Saharan Africa? They may stand in the way of an African trade bloc. Also, what were you thinking of a Sports League? Maybe Football (soccer) or basketball," suggested the Protector.

Austro-Africa was now home to three million Kiravian settlers. The Empire had constructed entire cities, towns, and villages, full of Kiravians, that dotted the colony from the Cape to the northern froniers of Zambia. Farmlands spread over fertile Rhodesia, resorts opened up on Lake Nyasa, and small skyscrapers were beginning to rise in Escoara and Sharksea. Railroads were struck, splayed out in all directions, spanning from Saar-Austroafrica to Fort Tanzania. Military posts and administrative communities had been set up across the country, with extra placed in trouble spots or at the borders.

Politically, the nation was developing as well. Austro-Africans, both settlers and the natives that had attained citizenship, had elected their first Senator to represent them in Kartika. A Tribal Congress had been established as a lower-house-type body to convey the needs of the natives into the colonial legislature.

"Yes, some may exclude certain parts though and it is those who I am worrying about. What if some want to exclude East Africa, or Saharan Africa? They may stand in the way of an African trade bloc. Also, what were you thinking of a Sports League? Maybe Football (soccer) or basketball," suggested the Protector.

"Well, naturally, there are obstacles to every plan, but we shall see what we can do. Each and every nation here has something to give, from the trading ports of North Africa, to the rock deposits of the east, to luscious forests of the center, and the oil of the west. It is simply a matter of opening eyes, of opening arms. I'm sure we'll find a way, sir. I'm positive we will. As for a sports league - well, that is certainly something I'll bring up. It would certainly bring the people together, would it not?"

The translator performed his job well, "Yes, a law passing body has yet to be established although I am hoping that it wil be within the next few days. We can't force the same principles as in Uir voting where everyone must vote as we have not done a concensus nor did we count how many people who have been living for 16 years, which is the majority age here, there were in villages who partook in being under Uir protection and my rule. I guess whoever votes will be registered and whoever doesn't won't exist. Not good, but what could we really do?"



"Aye, true. I suppose that is how it shall be. In Kirav, we have an unofficial double-standard of sorts. Dolphins, Amish, reclusive Native Kirhavites, and other groups that live within our broders but do not partake in our society, are more or less considered exempt from ost of our laws."

Lovens rushed out to meet the gentlemen from the Cookboroughan colonies.

"Sirs! A pleasure for you to join us. Welcome to Barronian West Africa. I'm Lieutenant-Governor Lovens, I'll be escorting you back to the Governor's residence."

"Buongiorno! Nice to meet you." said Governor Ghirlandaio and shook the Lieutenant-Governor's hand and Governor D'Ambaro did the same.

"Shall we?" Governor D'Ambaro asked

"Buongiorno! Nice to meet you." said Governor Ghirlandaio and shook the Lieutenant-Governor's hand and Governor D'Ambaro did the same.

"Shall we?" Governor D'Ambaro asked

"But of course. We are ever-so-slightly late, so there will, unfortunately, be little time to chat."

The car made it through the town quickly, though maybe one or two sharp turns almost got the better of Lovens' balance. Eventually, it pulled into the driveway.

Lovens allowed the two gentlemen to get out, before getting out herself.

"Okay gentlemen, if you'd like to follow me. You'll be meeting the Governor shortly - we may just be able to catch the end of his welcome."

They came around the corner, just as the Governor was greeting the officials.

"Governor, sir. The Cookboroughan delegation."

"Thankyou Miss Lovens. How are you gentlemen?"

OOC: Sorry about the relatively crappy post. I'm stuck in two frames here.

BTW, I've got an updated map for Vontanas:

OOC: Sorry about the relatively crappy post. I'm stuck in two frames here.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc61/LordBelacqua/NSAfrica.png

OOC: Excuse me, but the islands between Madagascar and the main land are mine as are those off Uiri's coast. I request that you change them.

IC:

The captain went from island to island which Miamoria had claimed. He established his rule usually by killing the old ruler although those on Mafia Island were pleased to hail him as their leader. Those on Unguja and Premba allowed him to march in troops and settle not expecting them to be subordinate but as equals so that they could co-exist. Those on the islands previously belonging to Uiri spoke a different language then the others, noticed a few settlers.

remember I'm still selling the bulk of my colonies please contact me

OOC: I did - I offered you a fairly substantial amount for whatever you had left.

"I appreciate your concerns Senator, however I did state that we would also agree to respect any changes made as a result of land changing hands. It is unfortunate that this map isn't updated, although my personal cartographers are working now to rectify the situation. You have my personal assurance that your claims and purchases will be dealt with accordingly.

As for your third city, I'm sure it will be dealt with in due course, and my cartographers will make the necessary edits."

"This is good. Vantanas will sign the treaty."

And to the treaty, Tacoo signed in the designated place: Tacoo, Free Republic of Vantanas

"Hmm. This is indeed an interesting proposal. We have several ports that would be suitable, but indeed, we are concerned at giving away such strategic parts of our territory. Let me make a telephone call."

Peterson pulls out a phone, and speaks to someone on the other side, obviously his superior. Eventually, he hangs up.

"Here is the proposal of the Magisterium. It is not willing to give up one of our current ports, but will instead offer to build you one.

Any questions?"

After a few minutes in discussion and a phone call, the diplomats responded in eery unison: "We have a new proposal. This proposal incorporates the elements of your proposal, but also prosposes our proposed revisions. The change our proposal makes to your proposal is the proposition of the proposed port to be built being opted for full proposed purchase after a timeframe of, well, we'll propose ten to fifteen years. How does this proposal tickle your fancy?"

OOC: Good map. Much better then the one on the front page. In fact, it should be put on the front page. However, for the next edit, you put South Port in the wrong place, misnamed South Port, and it's Vantanian Congo, not Vantanian Cabinda. Nothing worth making an entirely new edit over, more like considerations on the next version after sail by Surailia and the acquisition of my Guinea port.

"Aye, true. I suppose that is how it shall be. In Kirav, we have an unofficial double-standard of sorts. Dolphins, Amish, reclusive Native Kirhavites, and other groups that live within our broders but do not partake in our society, are more or less considered exempt from ost of our laws."

"That is interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of we don't treat them as if they exist if they don't vote. Not being exempt for our laws, more being considered...illegal persons. I know it sounds harsh but such is the Uir way, I believe," the translator finished a few moments after the King.

"Well, naturally, there are obstacles to every plan, but we shall see what we can do. Each and every nation here has something to give, from the trading ports of North Africa, to the rock deposits of the east, to luscious forests of the center, and the oil of the west.

It would certainly bring the people together, would it not?"

"Yes, I agree most definetly. Have any other leaders arrived, I would like to talk with those from Scandinvans and Democratic Eurasia," the Protector said, eager to meet the foreigners.

OOC: Sorry about the relatively crappy post. I'm stuck in two frames here.

BTW, I've got an updated map for Vontanas:

OOC: I have bought the rest of Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau from Surailia.

i verify that...as a not lie

OOC: lol, do you mean truth by 'not lie'?

i verify that...as a not lie

i verify that...as a not lie

OOC: Good map. Much better then the one on the front page. In fact, it should be put on the front page.

SURAILIA: Still selling? 'Cause I'll buy, depending on what you're still selling. I'm interested in W. Africa, but not S. Africa.

OOC: Excuse me, but the islands between Madagascar and the main land are mine as are those off Uiri's coast. I request that you change them.

OOC: The Seychelles are Willinkian property, as determined before, but I can arrange Mafia Island for you.

"This is good. Vantanas will sign the treaty."

And to the treaty, Tacoo signed in the designated place: Tacoo, Free Republic of Vantanas

"Excellent! A very good start indeed."



After a few minutes in discussion and a phone call, the diplomats responded in eery unison: "We have a new proposal. This proposal incorporates the elements of your proposal, but also prosposes our proposed revisions. The change our proposal makes to your proposal is the proposition of the proposed port to be built being opted for full proposed purchase after a timeframe of, well, we'll propose ten to fifteen years. How does this proposal tickle your fancy?"

OOC: Good map. Much better then the one on the front page. In fact, it should be put on the front page.

OOC: Thanks.

"Wait, wait...so I get this. You want to incorporate our proposal, but add in the option to purchase it after 10 to 15 years?

If that is the case, then consider the deal done. All that's left is for you to decide where it goes."

OOC: And the fact that Shansekia gave me his claim and I gave parts of the claim to TSS who in turn gave parts of his claim to Prae is ignored.

OOC: Alright, alright, I'm getting to it. Miamoria - I noticed my mistake and have edited according. Jaredcohenia - that's something I'm searching up. I got about 15 pages to look through to find the right stuff. Plus, it's 2.30am, my mind's going on standby, save for the coffee. I'll get the map up before I go.

OOC:Thanks Pan-Arab Barrionia for TGing me back:D. I'll post the ambassators
arrival as soon as possible!

"But of course. We are ever-so-slightly late, so there will, unfortunately, be little time to chat."

The car made it through the town quickly, though maybe one or two sharp turns almost got the better of Lovens' balance. Eventually, it pulled into the driveway.

Lovens allowed the two gentlemen to get out, before getting out herself.

"Okay gentlemen, if you'd like to follow me. You'll be meeting the Governor shortly - we may just be able to catch the end of his welcome."

They came around the corner, just as the Governor was greeting the officials.

"Governor, sir. The Cookboroughan delegation."

"Thankyou Miss Lovens. How are you gentlemen?"

OOC: Sorry about the relatively crappy post. I'm stuck in two frames here.

BTW, I've got an updated map for Vontanas:

OOC: Thanks, it's much better all the islands are correct.

IC: The captain was on a ship headed to Daresalam, the capital of Uir Es Afirik. He wanted to meet with the Uir Es Afrik governor in order to establish trade relations with the colony. The captain also wished to establish whether the Uir are allowed to use the Afro-Miamorian ports on the islands which Miamoria claimed (a.k.a the islands not bought off of Uiri).

[OOC: Hey, I'm on it :D ! Will post later.]

"Wait, wait...so I get this. You want to incorporate our proposal, but add in the option to purchase it after 10 to 15 years?

If that is the case, then consider the deal done. All that's left is for you to decide where it goes."

"We propose that the proposed city would be on the Sanaga River, near where it pours out into the ocean. It would be, roughly, due west of Eseka, due south of Douala, and due east of Malaba, going by the city's precolonial names. Approximately three degrees north by nine degrees east. If this proposal is not acceptable, then our secondary proposal would be that the proposed port-city be on the Equator. How do you feel about this proposed location?"

Based on Pan-Arab Barronia's map, and a lack of other people mentioning them, I'd like to do the following as a quasi-IC post. If this clears, then I'll do the full on IC posting. Afterall, I don't want to go to all the effort if it's a moot point.

"IC":
Hamptonshire lays claim to the Canary Islands and Madeira for the United Realms of the Hamptonian Empire. The territories shall be known as the "Hamptonian African Maritime Colonies"

"I apologize if we are a tad late, other than that we are doing rather well."

"How go things in Barronian West African Territories?" asked Governor D'Ambaro


ooc: Shouldn't be a problem Hamptonshire, welcome to the neighborhood. Updated the map on the OP

New Landronan? Where's that from, not that I'm complaining- doesn't sound to bad. I know I couldn't come up with anything better.:rolleyes:
Oh and it looks, on the map, as if I'm now in control of Somaliland- what's with that? Now down to business.
Theirdeht glared at his map. Raids on Swazi police outposts, areas of the country side ignoring orders from Mbabane and now this- an organisation claiming to be the legitimate government.
'The Swazi Liberation Army declares the king as nothing more that a slave of the whites. We must show these arrogant imperialists that not all Africa will roll over and die. We will destroy them and free our country- those who do not stand with us are betraying everything about their country, continent and ancestors. They abandon their beliefs and values so they can be slaves to the Eurasians- they, like their filthy masters are unfit to live in this world.'
He picked up a phone- he would have to act quick to ensure that this didn't become to big a problem for the federation. At least he held the important areas in some strength.
'Get me Viceroy Gomez, please, its Colonel Theirdeht from Mbabane. Viceroy, we have serious problem here. I believe that we will soon be dealing with a guerilla rebellion here. Have you seen this piece by this 'SLA'?'
'Yes, what do want to take them seriously? Come on Colonel, you know better than me that we can't declare a war zone based on one fringe groups rantings.'
'They are already staging raids on government outposts- places we haven't reached yet, yes, but they're building up a stock of weapons and experience. I need more troops.'
Gomez has known Thierdeht for may years- he knew that the man would not ask without real need.
'Well, what do you want?'
'For a start I'll need my 3rd battalion to down here, not in Maputo. Then I want an standard infantry battalion with some armoured companies attached.'
'Well that's no problem, but I'll have to ask for another battalion from the mainland to cover up for these units. Those men will be their, but ca you wait two weeks.'
'Two weeks!'
'Its the best I can do.'

"It is very nice to meet you, Governor. It is also nice to meet you Herman Yuklig. I hope the summit will be very fruitful, don't you?" the Protector handed out his hand to be shaken by the Wolven Ambassador.

Shifting his glass to his left hand, Yuklig took the Protector's hand in his right and shook it once, firmly.

"A pleasure Protector," he smiled genially. "I am sure that this summit will produce some excellent results for us all. Now, to the treaty?"

Yuklig took a seat near the Governor in a gesture of solidarity. This summit was after all, the joint brainchild of himself and Salvont. He reached over with a pen and announced,

"it is my pleasure to sign this treaty in my capacity as a fully empowered representative of the Empire of the Wolf." With that, he signed in the indicated place.

Nice map, PAB. I like the new colour better too. But I ceded Port Elizabeth to Vantania as South Port, not Cape Town.

The captain landed in the port of Daresalem. He was there with a couple of soldiers and himself. He got off the ship and stepped onto the dock as it swayed with the waves. He realized he had no idea where he was going other than the fact he was going to see the governor. The port was busy with different types of vessels many for Uiri Es Afirik exports.

"I think we can do that, gentlemen, although certainly, an equatorial port would be more significant in a way. However, we agreed to let you choose, and we can find nothing wrong with that location. I trust our price of $8 million is acceptable?"

"I apologize if we are a tad late, other than that we are doing rather well."

"How go things in Barronian West African Territories?" asked Governor D'Ambaro

"They're moving along quite nicely, Governor. We're making major inroads, both socially with the populace, and physically with the geography. The people, or at least most of them, now acknowledge the government, and many are signing up for work with us - an excellent way to get the community involved."

Thanks. Not trying to be nit-picky or anything. I just didn't want people to think I'd ceded my capital.

The Protector followed the pair into the meeting room. When he noticed the Wolven ambassador sign something he said, "What is that, a treaty of some sorts? May I have a read?"

"That is interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of we don't treat them as if they exist if they don't vote. Not being exempt for our laws, more being considered...illegal persons. I know it sounds harsh but such is the Uir way, I believe," the translator finished a few moments after the King.

OOC: Kirav, I believe you missed this.

He realized he had no idea where he was going other than the fact he was going to see the governor. The port was busy with different types of vessels many for Uiri Es Afirik exports.

There were several natives in the area and they all thought the man was quite strange. One of them approached him and started talking to him in rapid Swahili, apparently trying to sell cashews to the foreigner.

"It should be all right as long as laws are not passed that would limit their way of providing for themselves, I suppose. How would these illegal persons be treated?"

The captain was getting frustrated as he was not a man with much patience. He walked away from the man trying to find a half intelligent person to ask for directions. He approached a man reading a paper. He knew they couldn't communicate but using signs the man pointed the captain and his crew in the right direction. The captain was now infront of the government building which was fenced off and guarded and all he could think about was how is this going to end up?

"Most certainly! Here you go," and with that Yuklig handed the Protector the treaty. It read the following:


Treaty of African Recognition

We, the undersigned, agree to:

1: Recognise all territories, colonies, dominions, countries etc. as sovereign, under the jurisdiction only of the government of their owner.

Signed:




"As you can see, it's a very broad treaty. Personally I hope that we'll all be able to come to more substantial arrangments later on, but you know what they say. You can't put the roof on before the walls."

The captain was now inside the building and he approached what he realized to be the king. Then he saw Kirav's leader. This was going to be interesting.

OOC: I'm sorry but this post has a few flaws.

a)You never mentioned a crew before
b) The palace has a courtyard, gates, etc. and guards so it would take some trouble to get into
c) It is Kirav's Vice-Governor who is talking with the High King. As in (I assume) the Vice-President of the Kirav Colony.

Vontanas, the port is currently named Sanaga Port, but that's easily changed. It's mainly so that I don't forget.

OOC: Yes i did mention a crew (post #577) i mentioned how soldiers were travelling with him. Crew is an expression for a group of people as in the captain and the group he's travelling with.

I will correct the post according to your other remarks

c) It is Kirav's Vice-Governor who is talking with the High King. As in (I assume) the Vice-President of the Kirav Colony.

Sharksea, Austroafrica

In the early morning, a long line of Zulu POW's were marched onto the docks of Sharksea (formerly Durban, South Africa). By the tens, they boarded prison ships bound for penal colonies in Airua. But they were only eight thousand. When Governor Tealford returned, the entire Zulu tribe, almost 11 million people, would be exiled from the Colony. A mass emigration was to occur, and the neighbouring colonies would certainly feel its effects.

"Yes, I think it will be but, if they decide to vote one year when they aren't registered, they just need to go to the poll and vote. They need proof they are a permanent resident, such as one bill per month for each of the last six months. That way they can become registered if they so wish.

The translator said through the microphone at the gates, "Please state your business, foreigner."

"My name is captain Jake Heather. I am from The Empire of Miamoria. Ruled by his highness Miamorga. I was sent to The Zanzibar Archipelago and other surrounding islands by him in order to colonize and settle. I wish to speak to you about certain details for instance your use of our ports. My fellow people and I will bring no weapons into your palace if you wish," and with that he waited to see if he would be let in.

It took a while for the translator to translate the whole thing although it was done as fast as possible. The translator answered with the King's reply, "The High King is only in charge of internal affairs and the Protector, who is in charge of external affairs, is at a summit in Barronia's West African Territory. Do you still wish to come in?"

OOC: Good Job! Yes, they're going into the naeighbouring colonies, and some of them may want to fight for land. Your colony might be less affected because they'd have to cross nearly the whole of Austro-Africa to get there from KwaZulu-Natal. But unwanted Rhodesian tribes might come your way.

"Ah. That will certainly work just fine, it will." he replied before letting the King go to meet the other dignitary.

"If possible I would much appreciate it if i could come in. Me and my group have been travelling for awhile and it would be nice to sit down, talk and have a bite to eat. We also have brought gifs from our new home on Moroni," The microphone turned off and once again the captain and his group were left to wait.

OOC: Sanaga Port... Porter's Retreat.

With this new city, I think I might be done. The only possible other city location I could think of now is N. Madagascar, and I don't think that's necessary.

So... pretty much... the Vantanian African Territories In Continental Africa's Name, or VATICAN.

OOC: It's been a pain in the tookus to do this map - Africa isn't exactly a specialty of mine. I've been doing it in the middle of the night, and I got the map simply by searching "Map of Africa" on google. It may just be my vision, but I saw DE and BE's territory as the same colour on the map. CAR is mine, I've just been busy traipsing through the thread looking for whatever land sales have taken place - the bigger picture of my own territory didn't seem very important.

That's perfectly understandable. If it is too much of a pain for you, I wouldn't mind taking over. I would just need:

a) The rgb codes for the colours used for each nation
b) All the islands to be finished being claimed and the only thing left are sales and wars for more Africa, or all islands geographically african already on the map.

To:Surailia
From: Hellenic Republic

It has come to the attention of our nation that your esteemed country wishes to sell off some excess lands you possess in Africa. It just so happens that the Republic has been wishing to purchase some lands on the Continent for some time now, and seeing your proximity to Hellenic South Atlantic, we feel that it may be in the interests of both of our nations to meet for a discussion of a deal between our two nations for the the port of Freetown and the surrounding area. If you wish to make such a deal, please respond with details on when we can meet, we will volunteer Delphi as the location of the meeting.

Sincerly,

Mr. Thomas Miller,

Governor of Hellenic South Atlantic

Mr. William McDouglas

President of the Hellenic Republic

Hope that helps. Many thanks for taking this on for me. Oh, and I found the type of cloak, but there doesn't seem to be many people this side of the Atlantic that make them. Surprise, surprise.

I can wing you the RGB colours in a second - I'll edit this post, and it's up to date as of Vontanas naming the port space he bought. So, maybe two or three pages ago, save the few updates that I'll take care of now. Thanks.

No problem, I had a map anyways. When surailia annexed Carilos and then it was dis-connected I wished I hadn't consolidated the borders. Also, thank you for althose unique colours. I wouldn't have been able to put in so much effort. I'll probably also update it once/twice a day only just b/c I'm busy and it's easier to do many small changes at once then one at a time as they pop up.

Ah, that's fair enough. Sorry it's taking a while, I'm looking for a cloak at the same time.

The gates opened for the Captain's party and a butler came to greet them. He led them inside and said something in Swahili. A few moments later the King came to greet the captain and his friends, the translator not too far behind. The translator translated, "The High King wants you to follow him to where the Kirav Vice-Governor is."



OOC: So I don't have too much to worry about?

IC:

The translator and High King came back into the room and the translator apologized for the King, "Sorry we were gone for so long. A Miamorian Captain has shown up to discuss some terms with the Protector but as he is at an important summit, the Captain has come in to talk anyways."

"Oh, no, it's quite all right. It happens a lot back at the Cape. I once had twelve different people trying to meet me at the same time on completely different topics. Oh, hello, Captain."

"Oh, no, it's quite all right. It happens a lot back at the Cape. I once had twelve different people trying to meet me at the same time on completely different topics. Oh, hello, Captain."

A servant pulled out a chair for the captain and led the soldiers to where the Uir soldiers practised. There were quite a few. Meanwhile the translator translated the High King's speech, "That sounds like a very very large mess. Did you get everything the people wanted to tell you?"

Uiri, check my post.

OOC: Many thanks to all those involved in the map, it looks awesome!

Sorry to be a cheeky bugger, but can I get a claim in on Cape Verde?

You're welcome. And thanks to Uiri as well, for his future help. Especially as work is coming up, and the forums aren't an option during work hours (not just because I'm working, but because they have a filter :( ).

OOC: My map has been started from that provided by Scandinvans to illustrate the Botswana split. Because of this I am lacking in islands. I will try to illustrate the archipelagos but I will atleast but a circle in your colour around the area. Yeah, not good with teh islands.

Need to record colours here:

Blouman - 200 145 89

"Sounds good. In the end everyone got heard, right? So, just because it was a little hectic doesn't mean it got in the way of everyone getting their points across."

"Oh, no, it's quite all right. It happens a lot back at the Cape. I once had twelve different people trying to meet me at the same time on completely different topics. Oh, hello, Captain."

"Hello, nice metting you gentlemen. It's a nice place you've got here. So as I said on the microphone I am here to talk about certain details of Miamoria and Uiri's national agreements. For instance as we had previously arranged you had free use of our ports on the islands Miamoria bought off of Uiri. Miamorga told me to offer you use of our ports in the Comoros islands and Mafia island as well, for a price. Plus we reserve the right to take these priveleges away if there was ever a problem. Does Uiri wish to have use of ports on our other island?"

OOC: Yeah, the islands did suck, especially as it started out as a JPEG - I reduce the number of colours to 2, and then put them back to 24-bit .png - it leaves little areas being really suckish.

OOC: If its easier to do, you could just write the names of the smaller islands on the map in the same colour as the people who are claiming them. It would save trying to draw the islands if it's that hard

OOC: Sanaga Port... Porter's Retreat.

With this new city, I think I might be done. The only possible other city location I could think of now is N. Madagascar, and I don't think that's necessary.

So... pretty much... the Vantanian African Territories In Continental Africa's Name, or VATICAN.

The King got very upset at these remarks and yelle crazily in Swahili. When he had finished the translatro translated, "Profanity, Uiri does not own this land, profanity, Uiri protects this land, Profanity, We never owned any islands, Profanity, we would be using the ports though, Profanity, Don't Profanity assume Profanity that Profanity we Profanity let Profanity, Racial Slur, Profanity, steal Profanity, our Profanity, land, Profanity. Please, profanity, leave my palace, racial slur," The translator whispered to the captain, "You aren't welcome, the High King is an amazing marksman and is carrying a Beretta 92F pistol."

OOC: Miamoria, I suggest the captain runs or he'll end up dead. Not kidding. Uir Afirik is not Uiri and I think this stresses that enough.

Better than mine. Probably easier to work with, too!

OOC: Do you think I should add labels?

OOC: Do you think I should add labels?

OOC: Couldn't hurt. Whether you want to do them like I did, legend-style (which allows for an ordered list), or whether you want to go with lined points to territory, which can be slightly messier but it allows for immediate recognition of who owns what, I couldn't say. They both seem to work well in their own way.

Vice-Governor Kintyre was alarmed by the King's outburst. But he was equally offended by the presumption of the captain.

Edit: Though, to state, everyone who attempts to create a map are doing a rather good job. Yet, I sadly note that there are to few maps which actually are of decent size so I must say that in order to have a prim and proper map we must find a site that offers better site then wikipedia.

New Landronan

By now the airport had been built which allowed T-20 Globemaster to land bring more supplies and equipment to the colony, a week ago the second fleet of ships had docked with them had come many more cilians while most of them were working for the state as tradesman, there were many more such as farmers and shopkeepers, but for the time being prices were set by the relevant agency.

In the office of the governor he was busily making a few changes to the plans to his palace which he had recently commissioned he's only problem was how he would get the colony's treasury to pay for the Italian Marble without the Chamberlin to the External Territories of the Empire finding out.

Those that came to this land for a new life ventured out of the settlement many had brought along with them sheep and cattle and had brought land from the administration for their farms. A few industrious people had noticed the large amount of exotic animals in the colony such as zebras, stripped legged donkeys (RL Somali wild ass) and Kudu and have rounded up large numbers of these animals to sell off the meat, the hides of the zebras and the horns of the kudu to many of the wealthly elite back in the empire and export to the est of the world. Some farmers have also found two distict plants Commiphora myrrha and the Boswellia trees, and many have begun to uproot and replant these trees in even lines as well as growing new trees in order to sell the Myrrh and Frankincense that is produced from these trees to the perfume houses in the Empire espically the hub of the most prestigious these in Promdrania and plans to export them to the world.

WTF I have New Landronan and now I see it has been given away to Democratic Euraisa I know I hadn't posted on here for a few days but come on guys its not like I had forgotten about it I was travelling as well as meeting up with people for BBQ's and the like and being out of town I had very little chance of getting on to the internet and when I did it wasn't for very long. Whats going on here?

No problem. My apologies for the mixup - Uiri's maps looking more organised than mine.

IC: Meanwhile in Ru Anda the civilans that had unloaded at the ports were quickly whisked away up to Ru Anda it seemed that the Uiri didn't want the Bloumans hanging around the port for too long. They had been moved up to the capital of the region recently named Henrytown which is situated on the Jessica River (Not far from the RL capital) which was now being surveyed and explored by James Drondraged who had named the river after his wife. About 15 kms from Henrytown the growth had been cleared for a runway to allow Ru Anda to be linked with New Londronan which would allow quicker access and more materials to be brought into the region. Many of the farmers had moved out of the city ready to begin their new venture. The main product which was now being produced was coffee while many of these settlers had radioed to HQ about the natives which had not yet given problems but had come close to the settlers and two squads had been sent out to deal with any issues that might arise. A small group of men had also come to the colony to survey the region to search for any natural resources.

Sorry, I'm a little out of things- has the Surailian conference come up with any significant decisions or results? Am I in charge of Somaliland (as the map, but not the thread shows)? And who is selling what colonies? If any territory just across the sea from or bordering our own becomes available we're up for it.
Oh, and we would advise Kirav to close and guard Swaziland's southern border with Austro-Africa, we have an insurrection there- the Swazi Liberation Army. They will kill all non-Africans and any Africans who they feel are either collaborating with 'the oppressors' or not supporting them in destroying us. There should be no long term problems- I've deployed the entire 31st Motorised Infantry Regiment under one Colonel Franz Thierdeht. (the regiment is drawn from our German speaking regions)

We thank Democratic Eurasia for the warning. Militiamen have been dispatched to secure the border, and are willing to render assistance in putting down the rebellion if neccessary.

OOC: I know that Uiri Es Afrik is different than Uiri but doesn't Uiri (the homeland) handle major land transactions?

IC: The captain feeling scared and thinking back to his previous thoughts about what was going to happen. He signalled to his men and started to run. He knew Miamorga shouldn't have made him do political meetings. He was good at killing, sailing and taking control. Politics he was most definitely not good at. He burst through the palace doors and starting running in the direction of the port. Now another question rang through his head "was this going to be the day i die?"

OOC: Zanzibar were untouched by foreigners and considered Uir. Ergo, out of the King's kingdom so he wasn't aware of the transaction. Technically, as land would be his kingdom, both the Protector and King would need to agree to selling land.

IC:

The Captain ran out fast enough so the High King didn't need to chase after him. Considering how rude he was the High King was most likely going to tell the Protector a Miamorian with some very rude assumptions dropped by that day and that would be it. The translator said after the king had said something, "You appear to have finished your tea. Do you want some more? Or perhaps a more exotic drink?"

Hello. I, being new to NS, found this and am quite intrested! Since I really don't know how this works, I'm going to hopefully claim Sierra Leone and Liberia as the Protectorate of Cape Coast, as they look unclaimed. :) If I can, I'd also like Ethiopia, if I could purchase it! :

"How about a Tusker Lager for each of us?" the translator grinned when he translated this. The High King said something to a servant who quickly came back with three bottles of beer. "Do you want a glass?" the translator for went the glass and opened his bottle. The High King did the same while he awaited the Vice-Governor's reply.

Thank you. Now, a few questions? I presume that sending settlers places them under your jurisdiction. If this the case, might we conference with Kiravian officals to discuss terms? And what is "RPing"?

Yes, it does, but we can arrange for them to have an autonomous countyship or subdivision designated for them. We invite you to Saar-Austroafrica(the colony's capital) to discuss terms with our Governor.

Uiri, I'll respond tommorow. I've got to leave soon.

OOC: Because I have a lot of free time today I've decided to come up with a list of cities for nomination to have a team in the AFL (African Football League). By Football I mean soccer. For simpler rules for the natives the following changes will be made to the laws of Football(soccer):

Note: Laws which are skipped remain the same. Parts not mentioned are not changed.

1. Length will not vary. It will be 100 m. Width will not vary. It will be 50 m.
2. Circumference: 70 cm. Weight: 450 g
7. half-time interval: 10 minutes

Just so that there are less variables which will be less confusing for natives. Now for nominated cities. City - RL Country - NS Country controling the colony:

Algiers - Algeria - Third Spanish States
Tunis - Tunisia - Third Spanish States
Rabat - Morocco - United States of Africa (USA)
Marrakach - Morocco - USA
Tripoli - Libya - USA
Alexandria - Egypt - Cookborough
Cairo - Egypt - Cookborough
Bamako - Mali - [For Sale]
Dakar - Senegal - Uiri
Conkary - Guinea-Conakry - [For Sale]
Khartoum - Sudan - Jaredcohenia
Addis-Ababa - Ethiopia - Cookborough
Mogadishu - Somalia - Cookborough
Yamoussoukro - Cote D'Ivoire - The Silver Sky
Accra - Ghana - Gulf Oceana
Lagos - Nigeria - No Taxes
Ibadan - Nigeria - No Taxes
Abuja - Nigeria - No Taxes
Kano - Nigeria - No Taxes
Douala - Cameroon - Pan-Arab Barronia
Yaoundé - Cameroon - Pan-Arab Barronia
Kampala - Uganda - Uiri
Nairobi - Kenya - Uiri
Dar es Salaam - Tanzania - Uiri
Lubumbashi - Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) - Scandinvans
Kinshasa - DRC - Scandinvans
Kolwezi - DRC - Scandinvans
Luanda - Angola - Scandinvans
Lusaka - Zambia - Kirav
Harare - Zimbabwe - Kirav
Pretoria - South Africa - Kirav
Johannesburg - South Africa - Kirav
East Rand - South Africa - Kirav
Durban - South Africa - Kirav
Cape Town - South Africa - Kirav
Maputo - Mozambique - Democratic Eurasia
Antananarivo - Madagascar - Latislavia

Those are all the nominations. They are based on cities with over 1,000,000 inhabitants as of 2006. You may re-name them, you may 'move' them, you may deny their existence. The following NS countries may nominate the capital of their colony in order to have a team in the league:

Vontanas
Skgorria - Has nominated Landfall
Miamoria
Blouman Empire
Praetonia
Willink
Hamptonshire
Stoklomolvi
Surailia

OK, so anyways, that's basically my first stage for the african sports league I'd like to set up within the colonized continent.

OOC: I don't have a name for my capital yet...urm...screw it, I hereby nominate Landfall, the largest city in Wolven West Africa, to take part in the league.

From the United States of Africa, after reading the press release from the AFL:

"Yeah....er...no...

1) While Football is somewhat popular in the USA, we do have to admit that Football, in and of itself, was an invention made by other nations, and imported here to Africa. To be honest, we prefer Cricket instead.

2) To partake in the AFL would mean acknowleding that the nations in the football league are in fact...'legit'. Judging from the fact that many of them are just territories that are colonized by other powers, and thereby, in various ways, shapes and forms, restricting the powers of Africans to rule themselves (maybe not all of them, but most of them)...we will not enter into such a sports league and give imperialism the respect and glory it clamors for.

3) Having natives play in a Soccer game for the glory of the "Colonizer Nation"...is just borderline insulting.

So we have to respectfully decline to enter into this or in any other "Sporting Leagues". That being said, as a gesture of good will to The Spainish States (which we do somewhat respect), if the TSS has a soccer team, we would be willing to play exhibition games."

(OOC: Well, to be honest, a big reason why I am not in it is because I can't do Sports RP. In the rare chance TSS has a Soccer Team in the AFL, and if they do agree to exhibition games, we can just assume all "sports RP" are done by NPCs...)

(OOC: It doesn't have an official soccer team and by the way, here's how linguistics policies work in Algerian Communes: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Kabylia-3lingual_sign.jpg, but with the last part in English rather than French and such a sign would be larger, with also another part below such a sign in Spanish and below its meaning in Spanish another with its meaning in Portuguese(5 "co-official" languages oO), also I'll be writing up more about that incident in Morrocco soon, and I don't want to spam 10 posts with my "Algerian Communes" or "Tunysian Communes" accounts so I'll use this one to roleplay both)

From: Algerian Communes
To: AFA
Subject: Bread and Circus

The title of the subject is the opinion of Algerian people about such Sports event. Tunysian Communes also share a similar opinion. Neither shall participate in the glorification of imperialism. The natives commune and city of Algiers refuses almost unanimously to participate and neither the Third Spanish States originated colonists founding their own cities do approve it.

From: Algerian Communes
To: USA
Subject: Independence

Third Spanish States is nothing besides a mutual protection ally of the Algerian Communes, they have no control over our decision making process, neither that of the natives or of the colonists Federations, and they have formally recognized Algerian and Tunysian Communes as independent Confederacies.

While we understand the sentiment, hope you may change your mind when I tell you the following:

Yes, some nations are restricting the natives freedom, however this would give them a chance to play for their city as opposed to say, their colony. I cannot speak for the other countries, however should Uir Es Afirik or Uir Os Afirik have the ability to make it to the world cup, they would be playing under the name 'The Kiswahili Nation' (in swahili of course) or 'The Wolof Nation' (in Wolof of course) respectively and would not play for Uiri.

As for restricting Africans to rule themselves, we are allowing the natives to rule themselves, however we are responsible for Foreign Affairs and Defense so that they may be better protected from other powers wanting to take their land and reatrict their freedom.

OOC: Because I have a lot of free time today I've decided to come up with a list of cities for nomination to have a team in the AFL (African Football League). By Football I mean soccer. For simpler rules for the natives the following changes will be made to the laws of Football(soccer):

Note: Laws which are skipped remain the same. Parts not mentioned are not changed.

1. Length will not vary. It will be 100 m. Width will not vary. It will be 50 m.
2. Circumference: 70 cm. Weight: 450 g
7. half-time interval: 10 minutes

Just so that there are less variables which will be less confusing for natives. Now for nominated cities. City - RL Country - NS Country controling the colony:

Algiers - Algeria - Third Spanish States
Tunis - Tunisia - Third Spanish States
Rabat - Morocco - United States of Africa (USA)
Marrakach - Morocco - USA
Tripoli - Libya - USA
Alexandria - Egypt - Cookborough
Cairo - Egypt - Cookborough
Bamako - Mali - [For Sale]
Dakar - Senegal - Uiri
Conkary - Guinea-Conakry - [For Sale]
Khartoum - Sudan - Jaredcohenia
Addis-Ababa - Ethiopia - Cookborough
Mogadishu - Somalia - Cookborough
Yamoussoukro - Cote D'Ivoire - The Silver Sky
Accra - Ghana - Gulf Oceana
Lagos - Nigeria - No Taxes
Ibadan - Nigeria - No Taxes
Abuja - Nigeria - No Taxes
Kano - Nigeria - No Taxes
Douala - Cameroon - Pan-Arab Barronia
Yaoundé - Cameroon - Pan-Arab Barronia
Kampala - Uganda - Uiri
Nairobi - Kenya - Uiri
Dar es Salaam - Tanzania - Uiri
Lubumbashi - Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) - Scandinvans
Kinshasa - DRC - Scandinvans
Kolwezi - DRC - Scandinvans
Luanda - Angola - Scandinvans
Lusaka - Zambia - Kirav

Johannesburg - South Africa - Kirav
East Rand - South Africa - Kirav
Durban - South Africa - Kirav
Cape Town - South Africa - Kirav
Maputo - Mozambique - Democratic Eurasia
Antananarivo - Madagascar - Latislavia

Those are all the nominations. They are based on cities with over 1,000,000 inhabitants as of 2006. You may re-name them, you may 'move' them, you may deny their existence. The following NS countries may nominate the capital of their colony in order to have a team in the league:

Vontanas
Skgorria - Has nominated Landfall
Miamoria
Blouman Empire
Praetonia
Willink
Hamptonshire
Stoklomolvi
Surailia

OK, so anyways, that's basically my first stage for the african sports league I'd like to set up within the colonized continent.

Much sweetness, Uiri. Good work.

IC: Kintyre took an exploratory swig of the beverage, gave a satisfied smile, and said, "Why, sir, this is excellent! Far better than the liqours we make in Kirav. Stonger too, I daresay."

OOC: Thank you. Are the names of the cities the same? Also, it's lager which they are drinking, aka beer.

IC: The king said something surprised while the translator said the same thing in english, equally surprised, "What are the ABV of drinks in Kirav, 2%?"

OOC: Thank you. Are the names of the cities the same? Also, it's lager which they are drinking, aka beer.

IC: The king said something surprised while the translator said the same thing in english, equally surprised, "What are the ABV of drinks in Kirav, 2%?"

OOC: No, but for the sake of other players, it's better to use the conventional names. It seems I should study the world's hard beverages as well. I'll put that on the list right after Afro-Lingusitics.

IC:

"Ha, well, I shouldn't say Kirav, actually. In Candava, we had a large Jehovah's Witness presence, as well as a general apathy to drinking amongst the population, so, in order to find a market, most spirits sold in Candava had to be quite weak. There are stronger, I'd say 65%, whiskeys and such, especially Scotch, floating around the rest of the colonies, but I've generally kept closer to Proof. Yet now, I believe those days are over."

OOC: lol, well remember, Wikipedia is your friend.

IC: "Proof? We have never heard of it. Actually I think we used to judge how alcoholic the beverage was by looks and smell and even taste although taste is a little late for a method to decide whether a beverage is too alcoholic for you or not. Only the Uir actually use ABV although we are adopting it, along with metre - gram - second system."

OOC: Because I have a lot of free time today I've decided to come up with a list of cities for nomination to have a team in the AFL (African Football League). By Football I mean soccer. For simpler rules for the natives the following changes will be made to the laws of Football(soccer):

*cough if you're doing cities over one million* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown)

*cough if you're doing cities over one million* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown)

*Oh it wasn't on the map* (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/2006megacities-1-.png). OK, I'll let it in. *goes off to check other cities too so not corrected a second time*

Angel's Rest is the capital of VATICAN, and has more then a million people as well. It's in the Vantanian Congo.

The capital of the Afro-Miamorian islands is Moroni located on the island of Grand Comore.

My updated list of which teams have accepted and which have yet to say anything.

Just to clarify, Kosta Reiga's (Madagascar) capital city is now called New Belrosko, and it has 1,500,000 people(both natives and colonists). With that being said, Kosta Reiga would like to join the football league. We accept.

just to let it be known my capitol city is now to be called Sarusuleum, and there are well over 1 million citizens there.

i will also join the football league

Quite a few football teams have sprung up within the settlement recently named Florence named after the Governor's mistress (real reason was not made public) many of these teams are linked to the professions of the men within the city thus there is an electrician team, a carpetners team, builders teams, pulmbers teams as well as an admin team and even the two teams from the 6th Regiment joined in on the league which had sprung up. The Governor informed the teams on the new AFL which had invited them to enter a team for the colony. The famed coach which had won 12 league titles and 5 Empire Conference Championships as well as 7 national cups and many other lesser cups for 3 teams Sir George Jickenburger KOQW had been pulled out of retirement to lead the new team and the selection process had begun a letter was sent to Uiri: We will be happy to accept your offer and we will send a team in when the new league begins.

OOC: What type of format will it be will it have a home and way season and then finals? or just a home and away games team on top wins the league? will there be any cups like the FA has the FA cup for its teams?

With the announcement of the newly created Afrikkan Fuuutebal Lejgue(the Latislavic spelling of the AFL), Rikko Boskov, the assistant head coach of the Latislavik national team, has announced that he will be the new coach of Kosta Reiga's new Fuutebal team instead of returning to his position in Latislavia. Coach Boskov, the assisstant coach for the national team under coach Ferg Bjork and former player on the West Latislav championship team in 1988, announced this on immediate word of the creation of the AFL. "It seems like a great time and the right oppurtunity for me and my family," Boskov said earlier. This news also comes on the heels of Boskov's agent trying to renegotiate his contract for the national team. " I know its just buisness, but I'm gonna miss having him on the sidelines," said Ferg Bjork. "I wish him and Kosta Reiga the very best of luck in the AFL."
-This sports news comes from the AP in Belrosko,Latislavia.

how does this soccer thing work (and can we add a team to Lesotho)

As for the for sales on my colony its still mine just if you want it offer it to me and ill think about annexing it....backwards

"So it seems the Uir have started up a continental soccer league, and some of our cities have been invited to participate. What's your perspective?" asked Governor Orsino Ghiorlando to his counter-part in Aegitto, Governor Giuseppe D'Ambaro.

"Why not? This could be a chance to start some friendly competition between our nations on the continent." he answered

The Cookboroughan Colonies of Aegitto & Africa Orientale Cookboria wish to submit two teams each to join the LCA.
From Aegitto: Alessandria and Cairo

From A.O.C.: Mogadiscio and Abeba di Addis


Signed,

G. D.

Soon the teams would be organized and tryouts would be held, there was much work to be done

In the interest of Africa, California would like to stake claims on South Africa, (British) Somaliland and the Sudan.

List updated.

Blouman: The teams will be divided based on geographic location. It will be a series of home and away games (the season) and then the top 16 teams (probably 3 groups divided into 2 groups of 7 so top from each lower group plus the next 6 highest in each upper group) move to the finals for the African Cup.

Surailia: I will scorinate and such. It will be more points divided among defense, midfield and forward and some extra points for RPing all though it won't be as big as in the World Cup.

EVERYONE: Stadium contstruction and team creation may begin immediately.

OOC: Yeah that looks good Uiri, hve you put any limit on the size of the squad or is it standard rules

IC: Sir George Jickenburger KOQW had landed in Florence and was now with the rest of his coaching staffing watching games and training sessions to see which players he will pick, while some teams had very little talent worth considering others had a lot of talent, he still had some trouble in allowing the Army to allow WO1 Chris Mallay to play as he is by a long shot the best keeper (Jickenburger reckons that had he not joined the Army he would be playing pro for a top league) in all of New Landronan he was confident however that the regiment commander would allow it once he found out that New Landronan's reputation is on the line.

All soccer games was played at the soccer complex built into the side of a hill comprising of three fields aptly named Upper field, Middle Field and Lower Field, there wasn't much faclities only changing rooms for each field. After much heated debate it was decided that Upper field would be developed by the New Londronan Football Union (NLFU) with the majority of funds given by the New Londronan government. The NLFU issued this press Statement

With assistance from the New Londronan government Upper field will be redeveloped for the up coming African Football league (AFL) for all home games for the Florence team, Upper field will also become the field for the final of the Union Cup. The stadium will intially have a seat capacity of 20000 with seats being built behind both goals and the Western end of the field, the eastern end will be left alone allowing members to sit upon the grass and watch the game. Faclities for players will include chaging rooms and medical facilties. We also wish to state that as part of this program the carpark will be extended and layed with bitumen to accomodate 2500 cars, during major events a shuttle service will be run to transport fans from the carpark to the stadium and back again. We the NLFU believe that this program will improve the game of football in New Ladronan greatly, sustain the future of football within New Landronan and show the rest of Africa that New Landronan can provide top facilities for top football.

OOC:

A. What's the union cup?

B. Standard rules except:

No variation for field size, ball size & weight and half-time.

Fields must be 100 m long and 50 m wide.
Ball must have a circumference of 70 cm and weigh 450 g
Half-time will be 10 minutes.

We thank Democratic Eurasia for the warning. Militiamen have been dispatched to secure the border, and are willing to render assistance in putting down the rebellion if neccessary.
Good. I don't think those soldiers will be neccessary, we've just approved the deployment two Airbourne Assault battalions- the Federations elite soldiers. The SLA will cease to exist as a fighting force within a couple months.

Uiri- the Maputo Lions will be thrilled to have a crack at a big league. Count us in. What do I have to do in terms of RPing?

Suralia- what would be an initial quote for Guinea?

And Cookborough, hate to whine, but who is in charge of Somaliland there? Me or someone else?:confused: 'Cos last I heard you said I wasn't allowed to claim it (not with Mozambique). Its not like I don't want it but if I'm going to begin typing posts RPing Eurasian rule in Somaliland and I find someone else asking what the hell I think I'm doing...:(

Thanks. I assume you are joining the league?

No, I just mentioned it in case anyone wanted to nuke the hell out of Angel's Rest. [/Sarcasm]

Uiri- the Maputo Lions will be thrilled to have a crack at a big league. Count us in. What do I have to do in terms of RPing?

Most likely a little comment here, a little comment there. It's mostly to make the soveriegn enitities inhabiting the continent closer, something to lengthen RPs, just something to expand on, although it won't be pure luck. Exempli gratia, each team has 15 points to distribute between offense and defence. Midfield would be in there too and somehow it would be worked in. using those numbers I will find a way to come up with scores. If need be, I'll have Miamoria come up with scores involving my teams.

"Each method is as good as any. Except, as you said, for taste."

"Each method is as good as any. Except, as you said, for taste."

"Well, actually if its your first drink, taste will ork. But if you are on your third or even fourth, not a good idea to judge it based on taste. It could be rum and you would end up seriously impaired."

I updated the list. Cookborough could you edit my map into the first post?

The King and Translator both laughed too, "What kind of sports are well-liked in your nation?"

"We have our traditional sports like armball and croune, but we've also adopted foreign sports, such as football, tennis, and American football. Football in particular has grown immensely popular amongst younger Kiravians."

OOC:

A. What's the union cup?

B. Standard rules except:

No variation for field size, ball size & weight and half-time.

Fields must be 100 m long and 50 m wide.
Ball must have a circumference of 70 cm and weigh 450 g
Half-time will be 10 minutes.

A. The Union Cup is the cup that is played for by those in the New Landronan league similar to the FA cup, I added it as part of the press release by the NLFU to give the local soccer competition a bit more depth

B. Ok.

The Scandinvan Empire would like to establish a branch of the African league by establishing a stadium in Kinshasa.

OK. Do you wish to establish teams in Luanda, Kolwezi and Lubumbashi? Or do you think that one team will be suficiant for your needs. You can always request to add a team later.

"We have our traditional sports like armball and croune, but we've also adopted foreign sports, such as football, tennis, and American football. Football in particular has grown immensely popular amongst younger Kiravians."

"Wrestling and archery are popular here although the Uir are introducing this football game you speak of. It is the one where you cannot use your hands and arms, yes?"

OK. Do you wish to establish teams in Luanda, Kolwezi and Lubumbashi? Or do you think that one team will be suficiant for your needs. You can always request to add a team later.



"Wrestling and archery are popular here although the Uir are introducing this football game you speak of. It is the one where you cannot use your hands and arms, yes?"

"The very same. Its coming to the Empire is very recent, actually. When I was growing up in Candava, no one knew it existed. It wasn't televise until five years ago. But I must say that it's an interesting game. And team patriotism is extremely fierce. Exciting on, and off the field."

Thanks for clearing that up Uiri and Cookborough. Don't mind me too much, I'm easily confused and left behind.:) Suralia I'm willing to buy Guinea, ut I'll need an initial quote for the negotiations to begin. A cetain amount of money, tax benefits for Suralian companies working in Guinea, anchorage for your navy at Conakry. We'll even pay for the costs of the changeover. (e.g. the travel costs for Suralian officials and troops returning home, this doesn't cover private individuals- only government employees.) Now to Swaziland...
A council of war was being held in Mbabane, present were 8 army officers (five battalion commanders, an MP colonel who was in charge of all Police units- military and civilian- for the duration of the emergency and the newly promoted Brigadier Thierdeht.) and 4 civilians- Oorden and Laseirre, Dias (from Gomez's office) and Hlane (the King's representative).
'Well, sir, we've garrisoned towns and the 31st's battalions conduct wide-ranging patrols from these garrisons. The paras and their helicopters conduct strikes and raids into SLA territory whenever they've got targets- and Mr. Oorden's sources give us targets whenever they can. Militarily we're doing everything possible with these resources.' concluded the Colonel.
'Well, we've got to do more!' snapped Thierdeht, 'Dias and Hlane will confirm this- there are a lot of people wanting this to end. We may have driven them to the level of violent banditry but we need to drive them to the level of extinction!'
'If you will allow me to speak, General. Hlane, Oorden and I have been putting together a few ideas that may strip the SLA's popular support.' Laseirre's well educated, confident and not overused voice captured the groups attention. 'Thank you, what we must remember is that we need to make supporting the SLA an unprofitable exercise and history shows that the stick method does not work, while the carrot does. We need to provide the villagers with facilities that will makes their lives better and easier and we need our soldiers to be portrayed as doing their best to protect innocents from the homicidally unbalanced rebels. We have to win their hearts and minds- basically its a popularity contest. I have here a well put together plan to do just this- to leave the SLA without support and with nowhere to hide. I have a copy for everyone. It boils down to giving everyone in the country free and quality communications and education. Providing as many jobs as possible and getting running water and electricity to as many homes as possible. Take this idea of negotiating a very large contract with a mobile phone company and giving out mobiles with talk time...'

By now Florence was a bustling city and a population ahd now reached 1 million this was counting the greater area, A few small settlements was now starting to grow from a general store for the local farmers and the barracks which had been built for the Army company(ies) which had based themselves there, however many more people were now settling here and building a prosperous town. There are two main towns of note Chelsea named after the Emperor's wife Empress Chelsea (RL location of Hargesia) and Hollaba (RL Gaibly) 54 kms West of Chelsea and upstream.

Chelsea: Many settlers had now called Chelsea home (approximatly 450000) and it was slowly starting to take shape many of the farm hands had moved into the cityto be closer too faclities as well as many tradesman and grocers. One of the benefits of was that it was upstream from Florence and so goods produced could easily be transported and vice versa along the Henry IV River. While most of the goods produced within the Chelsea region is meat from the outlying farms, there is a important commodity within this valley which has allowed Chelsea to grow at an alarming rate, this commodity is Juniper Trees which cover most of the surronding areas, there are now large tracks of these juniper forests which have been brought by two rival firms with both of them now replanting the trees in lines for eaiser harvest. These two firms have also built a large distillery each for them to produce GIN. The two firms titled Chelsea Gin and The North Landronan Brewing Company have both begun production of gin for local consumption and abroad with some of the first shipments already been exported in to Bloumany.

Hollaba: Hollaba may remain a small town within the heart of the city for at the moment all there is, is a hotel/pub, a general store, docks, and a barracks the town really served as a place for farmers to meet and goods to be sent down the river to Chelsea and Florence. While the town may be small the outlying areas is a prosperous area and will make many of the farmers rich, as the soil is fertile and with the river near by to help irrigate the crops, a lot of foodstuffs is able to be grown such as corn, wheat, barley, beans, peas, potatos, tomatos, onion, garlic, lettuce, cabbage, orange, watermelon and apples, this provides a lot of fresh food to the people of New Londronan and is making them less dependent on imported goods which in most cases by the time it reaches them it could almost be considered to have gne off.

OOC: i am not selling Guinea. Mali can still be for sale but i will RP for them until that date.

Oh well. Sorry, but I'm not in the market for Guinea. Do tell me if you change your mind.
Eurasian Media Services Broadcast
'In an interesting turn their are clear indicators that the Swazi rebel group is losing support amongst the population.
'The SLA, faced by intensive social efforts by the Eurasians to win the hearts and minds of the people and by a powerful military force may well never recover and be nothing more than a bad memory within a year or so.' said Professor Sorziani of the Eurasian Academy for Politics and Social Studies. We go now to a press conference hosted by Viceroy Paulo Gomez, King Mswati and General Franz Theirdeht in the Mbabane...'

Austro-Africa was now home to five million Kiravians. With 11 million Zulu evicted, the Colonist/Native ratio was slanting in favour of the Empire.

Hydropower plants had been established alnong the country's rivers, providing clean energy for the many factories.

Recruitment had begun for the new football teams, and stadia were under construction in Saar-Austroafrica and Savanna(Bulawayo).

"The very same. Its coming to the Empire is very recent, actually. When I was growing up in Candava, no one knew it existed. It wasn't televise until five years ago. But I must say that it's an interesting game. And team patriotism is extremely fierce. Exciting on, and off the field."

"Yes, it is a fierce sport where almost anything can happen. I have a feeling it will be very popular here just not yet. Right now wrestling is the chief spectator sport while archery is also practised, and quite popular but its like, say, Formula 1 in Uiri. It has a solid fanbase but its popularity is limited to its fanbase."

OOC: Sorry, I didn't notice that post until today.

Scandinvans: Do you want teams in any of the other candidate cities?
Surailia: Did you want a team in Lesotho? What city? Should I add the cities in Guinea and Mali?

"Yes, it is a fierce sport where almost anything can happen. I have a feeling it will be very popular here just not yet. Right now wrestling is the chief spectator sport while archery is also practised, and quite popular but its like, say, Formula 1 in Uiri. It has a solid fanbase but its popularity is limited to its fanbase."


"It's quite probable that it will. It seems to have gained fans and participants from all over the world. Now, wrestling, that is quite an interesting sport. Back home, it's more of a method of [normally] non-lethal combat, used to decide matters of honour amongst the arsitocracy. However, I do see how it could be a spectator sport."

"Yes, the pro's wear only loinclothes and battles outside in dirt arenas whether its raining or not. People often bet on it too. The object is to pin down your opponent for as long as possible within a timeframe of 500 seconds. That's...8 minutes, 20 seconds I believe. It goes back awfully quick unless the match is uneven in which case someone can get pinned down for 100 seconds or more. It can be very tense and when someone is pinned down they are always struggling. It's normally non-lethal although there are accidents once in a while."

"Yes, statistics change and sometimes they can be inaccurate or don't reflect what actually happens. For example, subsistence farmers have a net income of 0 so they are regarded as poor but they can live so healthy with meat, milk grains and Fruits & Vegetables all part of their diet. An office worker can make 50,000 USD a year but be very unhealthy because of a large intake of fast food due to a lack of time to cook."

"That's an good way of looking at things. Statistics and HDI rankings and such are very ethnocentric towards first-world Western nations.

Surialia, I still need your response on my offer on Freetown

OOC: Freetown's mine, sir. I'll accept the soccer thing too I guess.

Well, are you interested in selling parts of it?

IC: "Yes, statistics are an internal affair but if any Uir move in Uiri is bound to end up earning some form of control of internal affairs considering their citizens are inhabiting the area. I heard Uiri's GDP is huge. I don't know what GDP is but it sounds like it matters a lot to the Uir."

OOC: Freetown's mine, sir. I'll accept the soccer thing too I guess.

OOC: So both Freetown and Khartoum? Or just Freetown?

Ru anda

By now Henrytown had started to develop the population was well over half a million many farms, many farms had begun to produce large yields of crop the majority of these crops are coffee and tea but there is some vegtables being grown as well as beef production. Coffee and tea is the main export with many Blouman coffee houses now selling the exotic bean as demand for the Ru Anda style increasing dramatically. Many of the mining firms which ahd come to survey the land have been unable top find any natural resources, however, one firm found a large depoist of Tantalum, approximatly 250kms north of Henrytown and has commenced operations to begin mining the valuable mineral.

"Well, in its most basic sense, it's the result of an equation that shows how large the economy of a country is. It's important to most, if you will, "modern" nations, because it determines how much money the government can take in from tax, and put towards its defence."

"Oh, well no wonder Uiri is so obsessed with it. It doesn't matter much to me, I suppose because I just tax whatever I want and if people can't afford it thats their problem. They are living on 'my land' afterall."

OK, OK, I admit it. I'll double post for an answer with the second post being a

BUMP

"I suppose that is the correct way to govern a country such as yours, with this type of economy and social landscape. The was a Kiravian philosopher, Ganður, who once said, There is no universal right, nor universal wrong. THis has often guided us in foriegn policy, when interacting with nations that have views differing from ours. It is standard procedure, now, to assume that the political system and policies of a nation are those that are best suited for it."

Autroafrica now had a settler population of 7 million. A strong economy had emerged, and a strong government to go with it.

"That is a very interesting statement. I think that if a nation's political system and policies aren't the best suited to govern it then the people are the ones who should act. The Uir killed the foreign governors and look what it got them. A free and fair country which is ruled how the Aborijinal wanted it to be ruled. I think the only differences between the government here and the government there is that there are no legislative bodies, nor elections. We'll have to see how this government turns out though, afterall it hasn't been very long."

OOC: Do you want to wrap this up?

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

He dissappeared into an antechamber, and then returned with a worried look.

"I am sorry, Your Highness, but there has been an attack on Escoara(East London) by Xhosa militants. I must return to Austro-Africa at once. It has been an honour talking to you."

"As it has been for you. I wish you a safe trip home and don't forget the names of the languages I recommended," when the translator stopped, the King handed the Vice-Governor the slip of paper and escorted him out of the palace.

Kintyre thanked the High King and his translator, and then boarded his ship. The vessel pulled out of the port, and then turned southwards, forsaking Uir Afrik's tropical forests and grasslands for the temperate Austro-African coast.

(OOC: Hey Kirav, I have an interesting proposition which may be fun...since I claim to be the Republic of South Africa (based off of 1970s South Africa), and you claim to be colonising South Africa, how about a Boer War type scenario between you and I? Interested?)
