Jesselton

The capital city that day was the site of three, one violent, political protests. At ten O clock in the morning, a crowd of a hundred fifty thousand protestors carrying banners and signs and flags of both Questers and TPF marched through the city to the House of Commons. Their demands were simple, having heard the news that had spread officially from TPF and from rumours of their relations in Foxbury. The genocide that had been occuring in Foxbury had to stop. They were Prussians, and not just people, but Havenic people, and not just Havenic people, but they were friends of the Empire. TPF was an allied state and although its cultural impact was negligible, unlike Praetonian or Willinkian or Doomani relations, TPF still enjoyed tight relations with Questers both politically and economically. Not just that, but they had requested aid from APOC. The worst fears of those in the Dove Lobby had been realised: the Gholgothians had done something to provoke the bear in the Questarian public, and their response was to be certain. The marches and demonstrations tallied millions nationwide and the leader of the group met with the Prime Minister himself and outlined their demands.

They amounted to no less than a demanding of Freek withdrawal from Foxbury, Gholgothian withdrawal from Haven and an ultimatum of twenty four hours which would otherwise result in War. The Questarian Prime Minister of course, was equally outraged. He himself being on the Cabinet that started the First War he reminded himself, and the people he met with, which included the King and the Cabinet, that this time the Commonwealth would not fight alone. Not only would Freek tyranny be opposed in Foxbury, Gholgothian intervention in Haven would to be opposed. So it was, with a House of Commons vote of 552 of 800 and a hawkish yet careful public, the Questarian Government made its proclamation in support and defence of their ally.

Speech by the Prime Minister to the World

"Early yesterday evening, I received a telephone call from my ambassador in The People's Freedom. I was informed, to my great horror, that their Government had received word of terrors unspeakable occuring in their occupied island of Foxbury. This island had been occupied for a number of weeks by the Freeks and it was only several days ago that they begun their vile strategy for the conquest of this island and the subjugation of its once proud freedom loving people. We were informed by the Prussian Government that Freekish forces had begun an ethnic and political cleansing of the island, with the total dead tally reaching into the hundreds of thousands and threatening to spiral to tens of millions in this heavily populated island. This was later confirmed by Questarian Secret Intelligence Service Human Intelligence and from Satellite Reconaissance."

"We now know that in Foxbury the streets are lined with the bodies of the dead. The foul sentinels and other Freekish troops murder those that will not work in their slave camps, a stark contrast to the staunchly economically free TPF. With unrestricted access to the total population of the island, and with no military forces left to resist, there is no telling how many the Freeks will kill. Hundreds of thousands have died. Millions more will perish at the hand of Freek tyranny; of their despicable imposition of their will on free and peaceful people by the barrel of the gun. Those that will not toil in their camps as slaves will be put to the sword. This is the very ideology that just a year ago our nation abandoned in favour of a free, universal and equal society. It is the intent of the Questarian Empire; the will of our people and the resolve of our military that all people, regardless of their birth, are born free and do not live their lives in fear. We know our past. We also know that our past is the Freek present, and now it is the Prussian future. We have toiled for peace with the Freeks. Their aggressive and bloodthirsty nature does not lend well to such an ideal but nevertheless we have perservered in recent years to put an end to bloodshed."

"No more will the Questarian Empire sit back and watch as millions are murdered by the will of a single man. Many say this man is accountable to none but his own hate filled conscience. They are wrong. This man and all men like him are accountable to us, they are accountable to the people whom they enslave and murder and brutally suppress, and they are accountable to the Lord God Himself."

"I give, therefore, this ultimatum to the forces of Automagfreek and Gholgoth: Declare your intention to withdraw from Foxbury Island and your Havenic possessions within twenty four hours, or we will hold you to account to your abhorrent actions. Twelve years ago when our nation fought the most vicious war in its history, the world stood by and watched. They said we were hypocrits; they said that the Freeks were not violent people, that they had commited no crimes - that our war was unjust. Now we all know the truth. To the people in Questers who claim that we are not strong enough to fight: I will not say to the souls of those whose lives were brutally destroyed by these ruthless totalitarians throughout history, that their lives are worth nothing because to save ourselves from their fate we are willing to make a deal with their murderers. If our ultimatum is not answered, we and our allies are ready to fight on behalf of The People's Freedom. We are ready to fight on behalf of those who cannot."

"We are ready, because although we value life and liberty, liberty is worth more than life."

"God Save the King."

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i156/UNDComrade/Yanitaria/OfficialCommunication-1.png

In light of the recent genocide on the island of Foxbury, Yanitaria would like to offer assistance to The Peoples Freedom and the Questrian Empire. War is a trying endevour, and calls many men away from the fields and cities.

Should it come to war, Yanitaria would be willing to donate agricultural products, at our own cost, to the nations involved in combating the genocide.

However, King Norheim would like to keep a more Isolationist policy towards the wars of foreign nations, and aside from this, we will not participate in this conflict unless our ships or land are directly threatened.

Sincerely,
Jocelyn Eldegaard,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Antechamber to the House of Commons, Sovereign Hall
Laurana, Cravan

Primary Director Annadale rested her fragile hands upon the podium set up in the center of the chamber, news personnel and varied officials gathered in the fairly large predominantly marble room to listen in on her emergency address. By her side were several Directors, most notably the Director of Intelligence and the Director of the Armed Services.

Without any delay or pause, Annadale immediately began speaking to the assembled group.

"The acts committed on what has been dubbed 'Freeksburg' are.... inexcusable on the part of our Freekish comrades. Their actions are despicable, and the lives lost can never be reclaimed. What happened on Foxbury is more than unfortunate... It is a tragedy of epic proportions and a shadow against liberty's light.

"These acts, however inexcusable, do not warrant such a response from His Majesty's government. The Questarian demands of the declaration of intent to vacate all Gothic Havenic territories is an unprecedented and completely unwarranted demand, considering the other powers of Gholgoth were not involved in the Tragedy at Foxbury. As such, Questers' threats of war within twenty-four hours if her demands are not met are, in all likelihood, going to be ignored. These quite unreasonable demands only serve to cause further life to be lost than those on Foxbury; an event which this government cannot condone or actively allow.

"As such, it is this government's declared intent to announce that the Empire's forces worldwide are to begin posturing defensively, to prevent aggression against the Empire or her NATO allies. Although the New Alliance has not been previously mentioned, most GRA memberstates with Havenic holdings are also NATO signatories. Thusly, any act of aggression against the Empire or against any signatory of the New Alliance charter by the Questarian Empire or associated states will be considered an act of war and a proportionate response will be executed. At no point in time will any attack against a NATO memberstate be tolerated by His Imperial Majesty's government.

"I ask Prime Minister Russell to reconsider his ultimatum, for the sake of the security of the New Alliance Treaty Organization and for the preservation of peace in Haven. If Questers is truly as interested in peace as she has previously claimed, she will prove it. Not by another sham of a conference, but by an actual effort to solve differences and prevent this catastrophe from happening.

We have less than twenty-four hours to make this work. So let's get to it."

*******************

Underneath 1 Imperial Square
Several Minutes Following the Conference

The sound of a crowd of footsteps echoed down the long, concrete corridor lined with pipes and wiring. Most notably out of the crowd were two sets of heels clicking against the hard poured floor, those of Directors Annadale and Haysley. The group of officials passed through several of the security checkpoints until finally reaching the central elevator which would take them further below the building which housed the Offices of the Directorate.

"Alright, I need an immediate detailed situation report.", Annadale announced as she entered the central situation room of the Directorate. It was a scaled down version of the command bunker which sat underneath the northern hills of the Home Islands. "Where are we, where are they, and what the hell is going on?"
"It's a mess, Madame Director.", one of the military attaches responded after delivering a crisp salute. "Commonwealth and probably APOC forces are mobilizing all across the region to move against Gothic colonies."
"We can't let that happen... At least we can't allow them to move against the colonies of NATO Goths..."
"Indeed.", Director Haysley said with a concerned look as her dark eyes flashed across the situational display projected on the western wall of the room. "We can't budge in the face of APOC aggression."

Annadale paused, and also allowed her eyes to flash across the map.

"Get everything on full alert status. Planes in the air, ships out to sea... Everything. We're not going to be caught off guard. I want our strategic bomber fleet on constant patrol over problem areas, namely the Strob and around southeast Haven."
"Yes, ma'am. Sir Rensford has been alerted that he has twenty-four hours to assemble NATO memberstates into a defensive position."
"No he doesn't.", Annadale replied.
"Er... Yes, ma'am, the Questarian ultimatum stated twenty-four hours."
"He has twenty-two hours to get NATO forces into an offensive position that can be manipulated into a defensive position easily. Is that clear?", she asked, turning her eyes away from the display and towards the young officer.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll forward the word right away."

The pieces begin to fall into place. The pawns take their positions; the bishops stand tall. Where will the king stand when it all falls?

Gracemeria Imperial Air Force Base
Gracemeria, Cravan

"Echo-one-two-niner this is central Gracemerian base control, you are cleared for patrol launch on vector two-three-seven-five, runway six. Skies are clear."
"Copy that, control, echo-one-two-niner is away."

The dark silhouette of the Sariel strategic aircraft shadowed itself against the sky as it lifted off, raising its landing gear and ascending to cruising altitude. The Sariel leveled off far above the Earth, assuming its patrol route along the outer edge of the coverage zone of the Cravanian Home Islands' active radar detection range. She was not the only one; Echo-One-Two-Nine was joined by at least forty other Sariels flying intermittent patrols in the region at once, in solitary groups that could be diverted for individual runs on targets of opportunity. Some were loaded down with precision munitions; others with anti-shipping weaponry to deal with any possible threat. The Sariels maintained their patrol routes with dilligence, concealed both by the night sky and their own nature.

This particular Sariel was loaded down with precision GPS and laser guided munitions, and simply awaited further orders as it lazily skipped across the clouds.

EXTREME SIC:

"Do it," She said, "Do it now."

"Do what Ma'am?" a nearby aide asked out of pure ignorance.

"Activate Protocol Three."

"And, what exactly is that?"

"I Don't have time to explain, but call Marshall Jenks, he'll know what to do, and do it now!" Erika Kars exclaimed as she boarded the Presidential Aircraft Seventeen. PAS was just refueling in Northland as the message broke, and with the new urgency, things began moving a lot quicker.

Back at Mt. Maul, things were going completely ballistic, with the news, and even devolved into a barely organized chaos with the Activation of Protocol Three, which meant that the Illiorian Demonarchy was soon to be under an attack as a whole. That meant pulling all the stops, Civillians in Northland and Burning Bay began to be evacuated as fast as possible, with Martial Law being established in those provinces. Formerly stowed weapons were being issued to Civilian Guard members and City Militia members who began organizing into their units on the territories. As well, previously passive detection Radars went active, causing quite a stir with the birds nearby along with CAPTOR minefields strategically placed near the territories went from the "Standby" mode to the "ready for fire" settings.

Other units within Illior that had been put on alert when Kars had returned from her Sabbatacle and were already waiting for transport were on line and into transports within 15 minutes of the call, and in the air within 30 minutes after. As well, all available Naval units were being transferred to Illiorian Havenic Command for deployment ASAP. All Illiorian Allies were also being sent a Level Seven communication to their leaders, warning them of an extremely likely conflict soon to occur, and that their assistance may be required.

No response whatso ever from teh Illiorian government was issued to the Questarian Empire or its APOC lackeys.

Imperial Army Base "Havenic"
HolyMarsh

Surface Marshal Veers stood in his office, looking over various tactical maps, of the Haven Area. While, in his mind, he was sure conflict wouldn't explode over such a trivial matter, it was better to be safe than sorry. His optimistic view of things soon changed, when General Takil burst into his office.

"Marshal Veers, sir, I have news, that I would deem very important." General Takil said in an nervous tone.

Veers stopped reading his 3D holographic maps, only to glance slightly upward at the nervous General.

"News deemed important? General, if I may remind you, I am quite busy. I hope this news is worthy, or I will be quite angry, and that is putting it lightly." Veers exclaimed.

"Well Marshal, I'm sure you'll find this news most interesting," he said "Today, the Prime Minister of Questers offered an ultimatum to AutomagFreek. They have twenty-four hours to withdraw from Haven."

"Or?" Marshal Veers interjected.

"Hostilities will begin, no doubt" General Takil answered.

"Well then, General, alert all commands. Prepare our forces for a surface attack, just as a precaution." Veers as he slumped back into his chair.

"Yes, sir"

Veer's worse fears were now becoming reality. In his mind, he was almost sure hostility wouldn't have erupted. However, the political climate was all but changing. Pretty soon, it appeared, Imperial Forces would soon be locked in a titanic struggle.

Deployment

Upon being placed in high alert, Imperial Forces began to move into their appropriate positions. So far, the Continental Empire had amassed a staggering two million men in HolyMarsh. These troops would be supported by a bewildering array of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and artillery. The soldiers began to move to the north and east, to reinforce HolyMarsh positions. Imperial RADAR sights monitored the skies, to make sure no enemy aircraft infiltrated HM Airspace. In addition, the Imperial Airforce also conducted Air Patrols at an increased rate.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

OFFICIAL IMPERIAL STATEMENT

The Questarian Empire, we note with irritation, continues its astonishing trend of poking its perfumed nose in where it does not belong today, with the recent speech delivered by the Prime Minister. In reply, we need say little: only that neither Lord Dreadfire nor any of the Lords of Gholgoth are answerable to the Questarian people, the King, or the people of Foxbury Island. If the Questarians are unfamiliar with the legal concept of 'right of conquest', they should perhaps answer the question, "Why does the King now exercise the rule of law over more land than belonged to the Questarian nation at its foundation?"

The right of conquest is undeniable, Questaria. Foxbury Island belongs to Lord Dreadfire, as per the law of the Freeks, just as Kregaia and all its possessions belong to the Emperor. Your threat of war is indefensible, immoral, and opportunistic, and just as you gave Gholgoth twenty-four hours, the Emperor now gives you that same time limit to withdraw your demands.

Signed,
Darian Aurelius, Minister of Foreign Affairs

OFFICIAL MILITARY COMMUNIQUE

To: CHARIOT High Command

In light of the recent Questarian aggressive rhetoric, I hereby command that the entire Armed Forces be moved to standby. I also command that the Great Armada and all corresponding forces be assembled again with the utmost speed, withdrawing units from the KDF if necessary. We must be ready in the smallest possible time in case hostilities begin. I have made available a special fund drawn from the treasury to pay for any costs associated with rapid mobilization; use it as you must. Blood and Honor.

Signed,
Emperor Ishamael II

The representative Government of the Socialist Government of Exetonia echoes this sentiment. It is sheer suicide for these large nations many times even that of our own unified state to go at each other in war.

All that can be ahead is massive bloodshed on a scale very rarey seen.

We urge all parties involved to try to find a peaceable sollution. if this is not possible then God help us all!

****OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE RHODESIAN GOVERNMENT****





We shall stand firmly beside our Questerian and TPFian Allies in this issue. The Rhodesian Military stands at the ready to again join alongside our staunch Questerian and Prussian friends.

"Fools."
Eschex saw the ultimatum.
"Fools."
He knew what it meant.
"Those bloodthirsty fools."


He had been writing a letter, a private one, for the Automagfreek government telling them how disappointed he was that they resorted to acts of barbarism. He was putting the finishing touches on it when the Quest ultimatum was given to him by an aide. At first, he was sure it was a joke. The demands were greatly unreasonable, and the timetable was laughable. It was nothing more than an excuse they could later use to say, "We gave them a chance at peace."
They knew Gholgoth wouldn't accept these terms. They knew their NATO allies wouldn't stand for it either. This was a thinly veiled declaration of war and would be treated as such. Moments later, word came in that Mondoth was crossing into Tryne. The Yuslevakian Matter to the west was also a flashpoint, one that the nation had stayed out of, but now would become yet another front for NATO.
Of course, the nation was prepared. APOC had taken too long, far too long. Long ago, Eschex had approved Operation: Sovereign Justice. Illior, Malatose, and Aleos had been able to get many soldiers to the nation under the flag of civilian aircraft. Unlike the recent explosion of Malatose into the nation, this had been a small operation that didn't interfere with normal traffic. The flights had been preplanned and otherwise kept safe. No one was the wiser; even when the nation publicly made statements saying that tourists were welcomed and then noted many from these nations, APOC had failed to take heed. Only when Malatose had sent an aerial armada of civilian airliners that had sent the Marsh airline industry into a tailspin had they noticed. The Macabees had promised to send forces as well, but had dragged its feet and now it was too late.
Illiorian, Aleos, and Malatose forces were stationed mostly out west in the desert. Under the cover of new bases they had been planted and under cover of arms deals had their weapons been shipped. Of course, not all of it had arrived and t was too late. They replaced what they could; those who used the Nakil1A3HA or the AVIR were quickly supplied.

Long ago, the Church had closed down non-essential classroom activities. They had also raised the threat level to DEFCON-2. Children were now free to help their parents or Local Parish shore up defenses, and they had been aiding in the Underground networks for some time now. The majority of the standing army had been summoned into action at that time and they remained at their posts in the north and east. Now, with the DEFCON-1 issued, the nation prepared itself for war. The rest of the standing army was called up, and the reserves were split into two groups: Essential and Non-Essential, with most of the essential group being part of the supply chain that would be vital. The Home Guard was called up and the Police were issued Rights of Punishment Without Trial. The Holy Warriors were called into action, and one could almost feel the cackle of energy in the capital that cold, dark night as those deadliest of Marsh warriors readied themselves for the bloodbath that was to come. The schools were now closed down completely. Children whose schools had not deemed fit to be members of the Militia-Union of the Home Guard were tasked with helping prepare cities. Suicide vests were brought out of there storages in church cellars and were handed out to the young and old as long as the shirt could cover the vest and give them a few seconds to not be noticed. Air defense networks across the nation were already active, as were the frontline troops.

The Air Force had been prepared for this. The call went out and, within five minutes of Eschex making the decision to go to DEFCON-1, the air force had started combat patrols in the north and east. They were not to engage unless the ground force had been fired upon or the enemy had crossed the border. At the same time, Marsh broadcasts into the north and south informed APOC members that Marsh airspace was now sealed. Any and all planes that attempted to penetrate her airspace would be engaged without a second warning. Travel on the ground between the nations was forbidden. All messages would end with, "Until Quest decides that the path to sanity is the best path to tread, do not breach marsh security."

"APOC aggression has threatened our borders and now they want blood. Do not give up, do not surrender, and do not relent." This message would then be followed by orders from the Church. This was broadcast in the nation itself, and aided greatly as the people started getting prepared for a war that would have a bigger impact globally than locally.
***************************

To: Questarian Prime Minister
From: The Desk of the Arch-Priest

Do you honestly expect Freek or any Gholgoth nation to accept your insane demands? You and APOC want war, this is fact. Unless you decide to use what sanity you have left to come up with a plan for peace, don't bother responding.
***************************

Eschex appeared on television three hours after raising the DEFCON level. Hs voice was heard on the radio, it was being broadcast on satellites and through pirate channels throughout the region.

"The actions taken by Freek are...deplorable, to say the least. However, let us not fool ourselves into thinking that APOC isn't looking for a reason to wage war. If it hadn't had been Freek's actions, it'd have been Yuslevakia or the unwarranted Mondothian invasion of Tryne. APOC wants war, it wants to spill blood, it hates NATO and it hates Gholgoth. Let us hope that in the coming hours, they see the insanity of their demands and will attempt a new avenue. However, let us not give in to that hope. Any APOC nation must take this warning to heart; do not enter Marsh airspace or her nation for any reason. We will react with military force.

As for you, His people, if we must fight then let APOC know that their nose has been bloodied here in the east. Let Doomingsland know that we will not bow to their religion. Let the Union know we will not fear their bombs. Let Chevy learn the hard way that it is better to sit idle while the lions are on the hunt. If we must go to war, then it is up to you, the people, to defend His nation until the last Marsh heart stops pumping blood most courageous.

One final message: We do not wish to go to war. But we have honor and we stand by our word. You attack our ally and demand acts of insanity, you attack us. APOC aggression will not be tolerated. We only wish that leaders of APOC will see the error of their judgment before blood is spilled over pride."

With that, he was done. The television became just one channel, as did the radio. The nation prepared itself to engage any and all invaders.
Some couldn't be happier.

President's Cabinet Room, Emergency Meeting

"Oh shoot," said the president, watching the speech being made by the Questerian Prime Minister. "Ohhhhhh, shoot."

"This is freakin' crazy," muttered the Chief Adviser. "No way a war won't start unless Questeria backs down...and I have a feeling it won't."

"Well, only one thing to do..." muttered the president. "Plan OSNAP."

"Yes sir!" shouted the cabinet, instantly moving to their laptops. The Admiral of the Fleet and the Field Marshal conversed quickly than jumped to their respective seats. Within minutes, battlegroups retreated from their patrols in the deep, central Haven Strait back to the edge of the Shansekian Islands. CAPTOR fields were activated behind them in a wide arc north of Shansekia, protecting the mainland. Meanwhile, armed forces quickly mobilized, deploying SAM and artillery installations across the northern islands, focusing especially Bunny Island. DEFCON was immediately raised to DEFCON 1 and citizens were warned of staying off the northern coasts and staying indoors when possible. Air patrols sweeped across major cities and the oceans, watching.

All they could do was wait. Watch and wait.

Official Leocardian Response

We will stand by Automagfreek. No action will be taken by the Leocardian Empire.

~From the desk of Lord Damien the Destroyer, Supreme Warlord of the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek~

Automagfreek spits upon these so called 'demands' from the Questarian infidels. Your blatant hypocrisy is sickening to the extreme, as only a short time ago representatives from your government/the governments of your lackeys have remained completely silent on the 'Foxbury Incident' when confronted with it at your farce of a peace conference. You have neither done nor said anything when the TPF military directly attacked and sunk a Freekish superfreighter and her escorts without provocation, and only now when you hear rumor of atrocity do you open your mouths. First and foremost, what happens on our sovereign land is the business of none but myself, and those who inhabit Freeksbury are no longer citizens of The Peoplesfreedom but instead citizens of the Empire. You and your cronies speak of genocide as if you had any sort of proof, which I highly doubt and would question its legitimacy even if said proof existed, because it is clear now that this whole time you have been openly goading us into conflict and are willing to go to any length to legitimize war against AMF.

The fact of the matter is this, I personally feel no need in exterminating Freekish citizens living in Freeksbury, though dissent and insurgency has been an issue since the transfer of sovereignty into our hands and those who do so are being dealt with. While I will not deny the existance of detention centers for offenders and those who seek to distrub the peace and rebuilding cycle, I will personally deny mass extermination of the populace. These people have been liberated from oppressive APOC control and will soon see the benefits of Freekish society once we have fully rebuilt Freeksbury's civilian infrastructure. Your demands that we forfeit what is now rightfully ours are, quite frankly, insane.

This pathetic attempt to further prod the Excessively Armed Empire into war has nobody fooled, and alas by issuing your little 'ultimatum' your true intentions are made clear. It is now clear that the TPF military's actions against Freekish ships was sanctioned on behalf of APOC, and therefore constitutes an act of war against Automagfreek. The forfeiture of Freeksbury has not satisfied my appetite for justice, and therefore I reject any of these little 'demands' you may have and instead issue my own:

1. Leaders of The Peoplesfreedom will stand trial before a joint NATO/Gothic court for their crimes against Freekish civilians and military personnel, and for general provocation of our nation.

2. APOC authorities who knew of the 'Foxbury Incident' and did nothing to stop it will be handed over for prosecution. Those who helped to fund, plan, and execute this first strike on Automagfreek will also be held accountable.

3. The Questarian Prime Minister will retract his statement and issue an immediate apology, to which he will then sign a treaty with Gholgoth forbidding military action against Gothic states, as well as recognizing Gothic colonies within Haven as legitimate.

Failure to do so within 24 hours will result in full offensive action the likes of which this world has never seen nor heard of. You may be the product of a pompous and smug society Mr. Prime Minister, but I pray that you are not stupid as well. The world has not yet seen our full strength unleased, and if you bring this storm upon you then you shall bear witness to the greatest pain and suffering at our hands that has ever been experienced in the history of mankind.

Do not test me.

Vetalia City, Vetalia

The following is an excerpt from the Special Praetorial Address of Praetor Albert Ekomov given in the aftermath of the Questerian ultimatum to the forces of Gholgoth.

"...on behalf of the people and government of the Meritocratic Republic of Vetalia, I hereby authorize Proconsular Council Resolution #1195-65 authorizing the Ministries of Defense and Economic Development to take all preparations to aid the forces of Gholgoth in their campaign against the Questarian Empire, should it be necessary. Our roads, our borders, and the economic and financial resources of this government and the nation it represents are at your disposal. This nation is fully committed to the peace it negotiated with the forces of Crimmond twenty years ago, and has no intentions of reneging on our word. I give you my word that this government will do what we can to ensure the swift resolution of this conflict in a way that is most beneficial to the people of Vetalia."

"To the nations of Gholgoth: Although we cannot at present elevate our commitment beyond this level, I wish to extend nothing less than a hand of amicable friendship in the hope that it further strengthens the bond between our nations. May we look beyond the strife that once characterized our relations and build something new, something that fully cements Vetalia as a valuable economic and diplomatic partner of the nations of Gholgoth..."

Several additional paragraphs, including commentary on the strong economic performance of the northern Vetalian provinces and their strategic importance to both Vetalia and Gholgoth are omitted for brevity.

"...I will hold a press conference immediately after this address to further elaborate on the decisions of the Council and to explain the specifics of the plan. In the meantime, I defer to the Proconsul of Defense for a briefing on the current military situation..."

As Ekomov gave his address, his mind drifted to a part of the country far to the north, only a mere mile past the barbed wire and glaring Cyrillic signs marking the border with Crimmond. There one could still see the abandoned ruins of Kurlovo, the once luxurious vacation city now a ruin trapped eternally in its state on that fateful day twenty years before. There were still rusting construction cranes rising in to the sky above the old construction sites, and rumor held that within the city there were still abandoned car showrooms with their 2045 models in stock...

...there was little else to do but to ride out the flood and hope for the best. Although friendly relations with Gholgoth were desirable, it was hard to determine if it was worth the cost in the event that such a move did not pay off.

[OOC: Before I make a response tonight, I was going off what TPF had told me and what I can spin out of it, not what I think you actually did (because yes, it doesn't specify.)]

"The Revolutionary People's State of Magdha hereby declares full neutrality in this matter. We will neither support nor oppose, overtly or covertly, either side. However, should Questers and Automagfreek desire, they may convene in Magdha City to negotiate a diplomatic settlement to this quarrel before things escalate further. I would be willing to personally host a peace conference, if necessary."

Dr. Joe M. Rothman
Commissioner of External Relations and International Cooperation

OOC: I am taking exams. I may not be available in the event of a war RP. Call back in a week or three.

IC:
Official Allanean Announcement

We are saddened by this Questarian decision. As we realize no peace will be reached, emergency evacuation of all Allanean military bases in Questarian and Questarian-affiliated territory will begin – namely, the planes therein hosted will merely fly off the runways and go straight home to nearby Allanean territory, and cargo aircraft will arrive within 4 hours to evacuate all Allanean personnel. We will evacuate also sensitive documentation where possible. The Questarians may make free use of our facilities or fuel – we are sure the amounts of fuel or ammunition therein stored will not make a difference either way.

Further, we note that should our territory, or the territory of any of our allies, be attacked, we will respond with the full firepower at our disposal.

And you know how we Allaneans are about firepower.

OOC: I request no further Gholgoth/NATO/APOC posting until there can be some OOC discussion and clarification. Those involved know who they are.

The Lone Alliance stands neutral on this matter, seeing how we have had poor relations with both groups in the past, however we do not tolerate Genocide of any sort and condemn any such actions by Automagfreek strongly. -Lone Alliance Department of International Equality.

Secret IC: Under orders of Intellegence 3 Spy Sattelites were diverted to hold position over Foxbury.

OOC: I request no further Gholgoth/NATO/APOC posting until there can be some OOC discussion and clarification. Those involved know who they are.

[OOC: Seconded, but I do not intend to retcon or 'give up' the ultimatum.]

OOC: Anyone not in Gholgoth, NATO, or APOC, please stay out of this thread. Thanks.

It had been but a week.

Glotnis Spectorious was a small nation, its population nothing larger then 250 million people but they were a proud populace. As of yet the Glotnis had not been apart of or sponsored any wars to occur in the large world. But now it was time.

It had been but a week since the broadcast was sent by the so called "President" John Bane. The Glotnis had always wanted to be in the ranks of Gholgoth so John's first thought was to show off their power by aided them in a war. But no wars had come up. But then it was time. The ultimatum was read once again then John had ordered a hearing.

The hearings was really just the current dictator going to the top of the Pargenon and giving a speech and deploying the troops. John ascened the stairs of the Pargenon which was surrouned by a line of JEW Units and then a mass of citizens both cheering and protesting. He came out onto the deck and in front of the podium. He adjusted the mike then he began.

There was three types of infantry units, the JEW Units, Israeli Units, and the Monemite Units. The JEW Units were the poorestly trained. They weren't poorly trained, in fact they were highly trained, but poorly trained compared to the latter two.

"Today of all days we greave. For today we go to war against the hypocrit naitons of APOC in defence of Gholgoth and NATO. Our glorious allies of Gholgoth have been threatened by the evil, hypocritical nations of APOC and we cannot stand for that. The nations of Questers threatens Automagfreek for nothing.

AMF's worst offence thus far is. Well actually I don't know. Because the only thing AMF did was take Foxbury from the evil, tyranical, stupid, snobbish, hypocritical nation of TPF and named it their own. Yet they are labbeled as tyrants, horrible people, and genocidal maniacs. Questers in their stupidity rushed out an unnecessay ultamatum to AMF telling to stop.

But no! Gholgoth shall not stand down. AMF shall not stand down. And we cannot stand down.

Thus is why 200,000 Israeli Units shall be deployed to war to defend the nations in Gholgoth and NATO and kill the hypocrits of APOC. But wait, not only that but 150,000 Monemite Units shall be deployed to help."

The crowd errupted in screaming for both types of the arguement. People screaming for the end of the war and people screaming for it to begin.

OOC: Sorry Shansekie but I am technically a member of Gholgoth. I am in Gholgoth Minor so I hope that will count.
