Miroxian Dictator, Durant Adams, stood from the dock of the Port Durant harbor as the navy was making the trip to the north. The army had had left in jeeps 2 hours ago. He then pulled out his phone and texted:

To The Empeor of Shazbotdom from Dictator Durant Adams: Miroxia

It has come to our attention that the United Royal Territories of Yanitaria have decided to wage war against Miroxia, and have decided to target your colony of Shazbotdom Miroxia. We please ask for you to help in our defence of our nation and your colony.

Thank you,
Dictator Durant.

With that he put away his phone…

Northern Coast, Shazbotdom Miroxia; 4/20/08
In about no time, Miroxian Naval Patrol Ships were at Shazbotdom Miroxia. After talking with a man at customs, Major Admiral Patrick Walden-Kernal led the ship to shore where the set up camp. It was about 5:00 pm and many boats were docked near the coast. Many small tents and huts were up in no time at all. A small HQ building (really an inflatable warroom) was set up in the center of the camp. Tanks and LandRovers would be arrving the next morning. Men were up and about doing things around the small army base they had constructed: jets taken by ship were being flown as test flights, tanks brought by sea were getting parked, and men were planning war games. Operation: Miroxian Defence was a go!

Patrick wandered into the warroom with some generals and admirals below his rank. They were toying with small figurines used in war. Patrick then pulled out a folder labled: "Operation: Miroxian Defence, the Complete and Ultimate Plans for Defence..." He then spoke up, "Listen here and listen good! Dictator Durant issued these plans. I have already looked over and editted them. All you need to do is prepare these plans. Hopefully when Shazbotdom forces come, the war will end..." They nodded in agreement as he left to check on other duties.

Port Durant, Miroxia; 4/20/08
The dictator got his report from Patrick saying all was good. His stress was gone by now and he was confident in both wars in which Miroxia was fighting: the Hurfdurfistani Civil War and Operation: Miroxian Defence. Now all he needed to do is fend off attacking Yanitarians and help religious Hurfdurfistani rebels win freedom in the communist state in which they live. He then phoned for Keneth as the assistant walked in. "Vah, surk?" he asked. "Keneth, please make it known in the Pacific Islands that Miroxia is under attack." Keneth nodded as he left. Durant had some paperwork to do an a war to stress about...

OOC:

Coupla things:

1) You are not under attack yet. My submarines, which you have not RPed detecting, are still a day's travel away.
2) Its the United Royal Provinces of Yanitaria. Just a littlepetpeeve I have about incorrect naming.
3) I haven't attacked Shazbotdom Miroxia. I haven't done anything to them, in fact. I haven't even gotten close enough to your shore to target them. And even if I was, I would be attacking you, and leaving what ever colony they had alone.

And in any case, Shaz is much bigger than I am, so it's a bit unfair to bring him into the war, and then declare it closed. So either it's just us, or I get to call in allies as well. Would it be acceptable to bring in my allies from the Confederation of Scandinvan Protectorates? Really, I would just ask The Scandinvans (http://www.nationstates.net/the%20scandinvans) (linked for reference) to join in, since he expressed interest in a war RP before, which got a little dog pile-ish, and so I had to ask some of my allies not to join.

So yes, I think that would work out, Scand and I versus you and Shaz. If you find that acceptable as well, then I'll tg him. The thing is, though, that if I am going to bring an ally into it, I can't just allow my people to lose interest and pull out about half way through, so we will have to see this to the end.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I still need a map of your nation, with relevant data and such.

Where does Miroxia end and Shaz-Miroxia Begin?:
Aren't you suppose to be an Island?:
What is the terrain like in your nation?:
What is the coast like?:
Where is your nation in the pacific? As you know, the pacific is a big place, and this influences the amount of time it'll take ships to get there.:
What is the size of your military?:
Your navy?:
What ships will my subs and aircraft find before the invasion fleet arrives?:
Do you consider your NS page to be a correct representation of your nation?:

The twelve Shchuka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akula_class_submarine) class submarines operating from Naval Station Echo 1 had split up into groups of two, and started hunting for the Miroxian fleets. The would operate at their maximum silent speed, and keep 120km away from any warship, outside the range of active sonar.

Meanwhile, the 6th, 7th, and 8th Royal Surface Groups, along with the Fifth and Sixth Armies, the 89th and 90th Airborne Divisions, and the Okhotsk Royal Air Command prepared to disembark from Okhotsk Island to make their attack on Miroxia.

Couple things real quick. There was a map with Miroxian land and how it was split up in the northern part for others to take (Link: HERE (http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/Cookesland/Flags/Miroxian-1.jpg)). Also note, that Shazbotdom Miroxia is itself an independant nation, just under the rule of the Shazbotdom Empire. They make their own laws but they have to follow the laws of the Shazbotdom Empire.

To attack him without attacking any of the other nations who have claimed territory on his island, you would have to come in from the North East, East, West, or South. Not directly from the North.

Also, i'm not sure if you have checked but I have a slight problem with bringing The Scandinavians into this. He is an old ally of mine from a debunked alliance...

OOC: I wasn't going to attack your nation, I was simply coming in from the north, and was still a days sail away.

And I am a protectorate of Scand, so it'd really be a problem if you declared war on me. I haven't declared war on you, and until you do, I have no intention of invading your nation. You see, I am simply trying to stop a country that supporting a radical theocratic dictatorship. Until I saw your name in the title, I had no idea you'd be involved.

But since Miroxia has brought you into it, I am bringing in my allies into this as well, because otherwise this war is going to be heavily weighed towards your side. It would be impossible otherwise, with out turning all of our nations into nuclear waste zones.

Well just a note. I already have the 8th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup in the region of Shazbotdom Miroxia. Miroxia was notified of that on the 13th of this month after The Ryou Black Islands notified the world that he would be creating an 'empire' again. The Ryou's and Shazbotdom have butted heads before and we didn't want them to invade our territories abroad.

So Yeah. There are about 176 Naval Vessels flying the Shazbotdom Flag already off the coast of Shazbotdom Miroxia and they would fire upon anything they feel threatens them. So I would stay about 300km away from Shazbotdom Miroxia or else be fired upon...

OOC: Just saw this and have a question. Yani, are you going to actually invade Miroxia, or just prevent him from supplying the rebels? An invasion would be a little much, and would warrant one's allies coming to their aid. A blockade of some sort (around Hurfdurfistan, NOT Miroxia) might not be so provocative.

OOC: Incorrect. First, Hurfdurfistan is related in that his nation is democratic, and his rebels are Theocrats. The "Norheim Doctrine" requires that any democratic nation seeking to fight the powers of totalitarianism and theocracy should be aided in any way possible. Very similar to the RL "Monroe Doctrine" which, while isn't a law, ensures for the independence of nations meeting certain parameters.

Second, I hadn't read the peace talks, until just now, and I have agreed to start peace talks with Miroxia. I have recalled my bombers and promised to do the same with my ships once Miroxia agrees to meet with Commodore Fost.

It may say that in your doctorine, but you must understand this.

The point remains that he didn't declare war against YOU until YOU made a move against him. That would make you the aggressor against him.

ICly, I have updated my Wiki to the point when I was notified of this little conflict. I will not add to it until there is an IC Decision by all involved as to what will happen, and that will most likely not happen until both You and Miroxia talk it out, and The Scandinavians responds to my Telegram.

Until then, ICly my military forces in and around Shazbotdom Miroxia are still preparing to defend their land.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Shazbotdom Miroxian Shoreline
The 8th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup could be seen 3km out. The shoreline defences were being prepared as we speak. Gun emplacements were being assembled in the Bunkers that were built during the initial colonization of Shazbotdom Miroxia. Anti-Aircraft batteries were prepared as well as anti-shipping missile stations. Highly advanced radar systems could pick out birds and planes from the sky, easily distinguishing them from eachother.

Marines were doing their drills, preparing for anything that will happen.

SCENE: Mirok, Shazbotdom Miroxia
The city was preparing in it's own way for any conflict that will happen. Martial Law has been initiated across the countryside, and here in Mirok was no exception. People had to be in their homes at 10pm (-9 GST). Anyone caught outside their homes after 10pm would be taken into custody and then brought to their homes to ensure that they were safe indoors.

Anti-Aircraft batteries were activated along the outskirts of the city and on the tallest government-owned buildings. Any aircraft that was not given permission to enter the territory would be shot down on sight.

SCENE: TH-221
It began... Round the clock launches were occuring off of the Tempora Heroica-class Aircraft Carrier, and the other 9 of the same Class. The frigates began to shoot out Sonar Buey's off into the distance several thousand meters to highten the distance of the ships on board Sonar system.

Admiral James Tennison looked out the forward observation widow of the TH-221 and watched as the Guided Missile Cruisers began to take formation between the Frigates and the Tempora Heroica's. This would be the Admirals 10th Tour during his rank. He was a Veteran of the Shazbotdom Imperial Navy, serving 50 years and rising the ranks to where he is today. He's gone against Corporatists and Facists alike, always winding up with the same thing...Victory.

OOC: Very sarcastic for the medium of text, are we? I suppose The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is very Democratic and run by the people and that the Holy Roman Empire was very Holy and its capital was Rome. The point of this, seemingly unrelated sentence is that countries may style themselves how ever they want, it means nothing towards the inner workings of the country.

Oh well that is quite simple. He is merely supporting a group whom he believes would govern their country better than the current regime. States do this all the time and it is a natural occurence. YOU on the other hand is the one who is invading a nation for supporting rebels, instead of doing the sensible thing and supporting the current regime.

OK, let's take a little trip into an RL Hypothetic. Let's assume that the US declares war on Serbia and invades it in order to support Kosovo. Russia invades the United States. This is not justified because the United States did nothing to Russia, only to Serbia whose sovereignity over Kosovo Russia supports.

Now. Hurfdurfistan is Serbia. Miroxia is the US and you are Russia. See how it doesn't make sense? The scenario is a little different in that it is all of Hurfdurfistan as opposed to a section of Serbia but the principle remains the same.

And I do believe that the point was not a Casus Belli as you are still the aggressor because you are the one invading, not vice versa. Miroxia is the aggressor against Hurfdurfistan.

Seeing as I was not directly threatened (only through hearsay) nor attacked, I would suggest one of my Tempora Heroica Aircraft Carrier's. Although you would have to come in by Helecopter, unless your pilots can land a plane on an aircraft carrier where the "flight deck" runs through the interior of the aircraft carrier.

If you don't wish to come in by aircraft carrier, I could fly you in on one of my AC-01 Pelican's.

OOC: You do realize that a flight deck running through the interior of the carrier is impossible to land on under normal sea conditions, right? Someone suggested a similar design on the NS Draftroom, and had it thoroughly rejected by the general consensus of the draftroom naval experts.

In any case, I have made those demands because I am offering Miroxia an out, and because the URPY ICly does not consider Shazbotdom or The Scandinvans official participants yet. The offer for peace talks is only to Miroxia, and under the conditions I have specified. It is Miroxia's choice whether to accept those conditions, or continue with the conflict.

The offer for peace talks is only to Miroxia, and under the conditions I have specified. It is Miroxia's choice whether to accept those conditions, or continue with the conflict.

OOC:
The AC-01 Pelican is a vertical takeoff aircraft. What it does is hover at the back of the aircraft carrier and then slowly float in. So yes we did thik about that. And we modified the design after buying DPR's to accomidate our Thunderbolt aircraft. There are shifting waterjet stabalizers on the underside of the ship that keep it from rocking too much so that the Thunderbolt's can land safely.

That and our pilots go through extensive training in simulators and in real world situations. We have had only 10 unsuccessful landing on a Heroica. One of the pilots clipped his lower engines off the flight deck and ripped them off. He was flown back to the mainland and was in critical condition for a month and a half.

He got back into a pilot's seat only a year later and succesfully landed on the Herocia. Thats pritty much how I RP.



But, my offer still stands. I could always chopper you in through one of the three Helepads on the top.
Yanitaria
23-04-2008, 05:19
OOC: Since you RP it like that, I have no problem with it.

But yes, until I hear from Scand, the URPY's official stance is that Miroxia is just making things up, and that we have no reason to fight a war with Shazbotdom. Our goal is to ensure that Miroxia doesn't support terrorists in the future, and such.

So until Scand says which side he is on, the URPY considers this a dispute between Miroxia and Yanitaria alone, since peace talks are underway with Hurfdurfistan.

Scandinvan Imperial Decree

Acknowledging the various conflicts and problems that would occur if the Scandinvan Empire became directly involved in the growing Miroxia crisis,

Realizing the strong and well founded relations that the Scandinvan Empire has with nations on both sides of the conflicts,

Standing firm to its loyal allies and friends of Yanitaria and Shazbotdom,

Harboring no ill will towards Miroxia or any other nation involved.

The Scandinvan Empire calls for the following things:

1. That all military forces stand down.
2. Miroxia and Yanitaria agree to a peace treaty for the time being.
3. That Yanitaria demobilize its armed forces heading towards Miroxian territory.
4. That Miroxia withdraw all support for any foreign rebel groups.
5. That all Miroxian troops not directly defending the interests of Miroxia be called home from abroad.
6. That the Empire of Shazbotdom and the Scandinvan Empire enforce the peace between Miroxia and Yanitaria.
7, That Yanitaria and Miroxia work together in order to create an agreement which will bring peace between them.

After the Votes go through from Both Houses of the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament, it will come before me and I will Sign the Resolution.

After a long and tedious deliberation within the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament and a throughout vote, it has been decided that the Shazbotdom Empire will accept our Allies in The Scandinvan Empire’s decree.

Although as it now speaks, we are still keeping the 8th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup in the area of Shazbotdom Miroxia, but they will be ordered to go to DEFCON 4 standing and will discontinue with the drills that they are performing. Although we will still continue with the building of the coastal defenses of Shazbotdom Miroxia as they are in the 5 part plan for the security of the Colony. The 8th HAVOC Naval Battlegroup is there not only as a deterrence to the Ryou’s who have also recently expressed their desire to expand their empire, but also to serve as the main supplier for the weapons that will be used in the Coastal Defense Network for the Colony.

We will though be prepared to send a Delegation to the Yanitarian Submarine to enforce that the peace talks to smoothly, as well as there is no attempt to kidnap the leadership of Miroxia.


OOC:
I’ll write up a brief description of the Resolution that passed through both houses of the parliament and post it on my Wiki soon. I just figured that I should put this up when I have the chance.

Yanitaria does not consider Shazbotdom a concerned party, and will refuse any outside interference in our peace talks. If the dictator of Miroxia chooses to come aboard an Yanitarian submarine to negotiate, we simply consider that an act of willingness to move towards peace, and thus we wouldn't harm him.

In any case, if the URPY really wanted to eliminate the dictator, a cruise missile would be a lot safer than sailing one of our expensive submarines into what is likely to be a heavily guarded port.

OOC: I really don't have any interest in kidnapping him. The coming aboard a submarine thing is just to see how ballsy the dictator is. Sort of a thing of respect, and trust.

The Shazbotdom Empire does consider itself a concerned party as to our ties politically and economically with the people of Miroxia through our colony of Shazbotdom Miroxia. If peace talks go sourt between the Miroxians and the Yanitarians and a war ensues, it will directly effect the Economy of Shazbotdom Miroxia, thus causing strain on the Economy of the Empire.

Therefore, with permission, we will send a one person deligation with no body guard at all to the talks as an official observer for the Shazbotdom Empire to ensure that Shazbotdom Assets abroad are protected.


OOC:
Yes but after much debate with my government ICly, they decided that it would be best for a deligation from all 4 nations (Shazbotdom, TS, Miroxia, Yanitaria) to all be at the talks. Although it would be up to TS if he wanted to be at the talks or not. But as my Empire is indirectly affected by this due to the Colony that is located on the Miroxian Island, it will most likely directly effect the economy of the Empire, thus the reason for the Supreme Emperor wanting to have a deligation at the talks.

It was rare that a Consul was sent from the Mainland but these were trivious times that they were living in. With a threat of regional stability due to the Yanitarian/Miroxian conflict and the latest reports from Shazbotdom Intelligence Command about the movements of the Ryou's, things such as a consul visitation shouldn't come as a supprise to Rochelle.

"Good Jim, and you?" She replied.

"Alright. So lets get to business, shall we?"

"Yes, we shall."

They both walked over to the desk and sat down. Then she pushed a button and two screens popped out of the desk, one pointing towards him and one pointing towards her. Another push of a button and a Flash Drive compartment in which Jim, the Consol, inserted a 14gb SD card.

"To the point. The Yanitarians have not backed down their armed forces at all. Thermal satelite imagry shows their Submarines still in their locations here." A circle appears on the monitor at a spot on the satelite image. "And Thermal Satelite Imagry also shows heat blooms in ships here and here indicating that they are preparing to sail."

"So what your saying is that they are preparing for war?"

"Exactly. The Imperial Parliament has prepared themselves for this and is issuing an order to the 1st Company of the Shazbotdom Marine Corps to deploy to the region. A total of 2,280,000 Marines are preparing for deployment as we speak. They will come in 10 waves. With them will be T-500 'Scorpion' Tanks, WH-01 'Street' Warthogs, WH-02 'Jungle Camo' Warthogs, WH-03 'Troop Transport' Warthogs and AT-01 'Jackhammer' All-Terrain Vehicles. They will fortify the countryside. We are though going to send a diplomatic message to the people of Miroxia to offer our services in defending their homeland, but until then we won't deploy any troops to their lands."

"Who will be in control of the forces here in Shazbotdom Miroxia?"

"General Timmothy J. Mendez. He's a Veterine, serving over 40 years in the Marine Corps and over 15 Tours of Duty. He knows his stuff."

"Alright. I want the General to report to me once he arrives in country."

"Thats all I have. It was nice seeing you again Rochelle."

"Likewise. Although I wish it was under better circumstances."

"Yeah. I should get back to Shazbotdom. I'll be back soon."

He left the room and with that, headed back to the airport. Leaving Rochelle to ponder what she was told.

Since Miroxia has refused the olive branch, we take this as a sign of their obvious belligerence, and we will go to war unless they decide that demeaning themselves by accepting our well intentioned offer of peace.

With your permission, a Yanitarian submarine will dock in a port of your choosing, and allow a diplomat and one body guard to board. As a sign of good faith, we will hold off our bombing runs on the belligerent rogue state of Miroxia until talks have taken place, and our ships will remain in port, on the Island of Okhotsk.

We fail to see the reason for this. It is much simpler, and much quicker to simply meet with our Submarine commander, who is authorized to negotiate for the United Royal Provinces. We have even agreed to meet on a ship from your navy, given that it is around the same size as our submarine.

We would like to quickly get these talks over with, and we will look down upon any further delay. While we would be willing to defuse the situation, as you must surely know, our soldiers are ready to go, and Yanitarian sentiment is negative towards Miroxia.

If you insist on delaying further, we will simply give up any sort of peace talks, and commence bombing runs and convoy raids on the rogue state of Miroxia. We feel that we have made our intentions towards peace clear when we pulled back our bombers, and held back our submarines, but since neither your empire or Miroxia seem willing to negotiate in a quick and efficient manner with the diplomat of our choosing, we can only take this as hostility. Hostility that Miroxia has already shown in it's willingness to support terrorists and invade foreign nations that are fighting to overthrow fascist theocratic rebels.

While we realize that Miroxia has agreed to withdraw, they only did so in the face of a counter invasion of their own soil. We do not feel that this is a sincere reason, and had the URPY not intervened, Miroxia would have continued on fighting to oppress the people of Hurfdurfistan.

We have offered Miroxia the chance to talk peacefully, and have even invited them to a private conference, one on one with one of our most decorated submarine commanders. We have belayed our orders to attack Miroxian shipping by submersibles. And indeed we have even recalled our bombers, and kept our ships in port.

We simply do not see any reason that Miroxia should delay, and now it seems that Shazbotdom is officially backing the rogue state in it's belligerence, and it's unwillingness to negotiate.

This is unacceptable, and unless your government or the government of the rogue state feels the need to meet us half way, and discuss the situation with our chosen diplomat, we cannot be held responsible for the damage to Miroxia. While we find it odd that a nation such as Shazbotdom would willingly go to war to support a nation known to support terrorists, and while we have no intention of disturbing your colony of Shazbotdom Miroxia, we will engage any hostile forces in the rogue state or at sea that should threaten the Yanitarian Royal Military.

This would be a simpler method for us as our Diplomats feel unsafe inside the bowels of a submarine belonging to a nation that threatens the stability of an entire region. If you wish, we can put the TH-223 out 200km into international waters if that would help your deligation feel safer.

Or we could bring our Carrier closer to one of your Air Force Bases abroad so you can fly a deligation to it.

But we feel that your reasons for this war are a little unjust in itself since Miroxia has come to peace with the nation that he was in a conflict with before. Your ability to not put that behind you is what keeps conflicts like this continuing when they do not need to.

I suggest that you do come to terms with the peace that Miroxia has done with the other nation and just call off your attacks. We are prepared to defend our allies in Miroxia. They are a soverign nation and do not need the beligerance that your nation is showing them.

When Keneth and Durant got into the limo theyt rented, they drove down the rode until the hit a sign that says "Imperial Palace.' He pulled in and park. They soon walked into the parkway. Durant walked up to the desk and asked, "What room is Mr. Larry Williams in?" She showed him to the right room as Durant entered. "Hello, Larry Williams. We have some wars to discuss.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPREME EMPEROR
MR. LARRY WILLIAMS
This would be a simpler method for us as our Diplomats feel unsafe inside the bowels of a submarine belonging to a nation that threatens the stability of an entire region. If you wish, we can put the TH-223 out 200km into international waters if that would help your deligation feel safer.

Or we could bring our Carrier closer to one of your Air Force Bases abroad so you can fly a deligation to it.

But we feel that your reasons for this war are a little unjust in itself since Miroxia has come to peace with the nation that he was in a conflict with before. Your ability to not put that behind you is what keeps conflicts like this continuing when they do not need to.

I suggest that you do come to terms with the peace that Miroxia has done with the other nation and just call off your attacks. We are prepared to defend our allies in Miroxia. They are a soverign nation and do not need the beligerance that your nation is showing them.

OOC: Sorry, I forgot I had the window open when I wrote this, I had to go to driving class. I lost all my work, and had to rewrite.

To the Office Mr. Larry Williams:
You'll note from our previous refusal that we have not refused to meet TH-223 on the grounds that it is an enemy vessel, it's just that our diplomat is currently on a submarine, and we can not transport him via helicopter. If you would like to meet his submarine 200km from shore, he would be able to transfer himself and his body guard to your ship via boat.

Of course, we will trust you not to harm him, allow him to return to his ship, and allow that ship to sail off.

And it certainly isn't a big enough issue to call it a world war. I am sure a nation like AMF would nuke everyone in the thread simply because it's called "WWI", when it's obviously not.

Let's just keep this between the four of us. Any more people, and the RP goes down hill because we have to wait forever for someone to post.

To the Office of Mr. Larry Williams:

Miroxia had the chance to have peace talks and did not respond, and therefore we will go to war.

We have a saying, in Yanitaria, Mr. Williams, and it comes from an admiral who fought in the Kabavian War. "Préparez pour se noyer."

You see, we are not afraid of your badly designed tanks, or your carriers that are unsafe to land on. They will simply litter the battlefield. Your planes will fall from the sky like broken birds, and your ships will clutter the beaches like dead whales. And Miroxia's economy will be bled white, like your soldiers as they lay dead on the battle field

With their economy that is already in shambles, if our missiles and bombs do not bring about the downfall of their nation, their economic state will.

OOC: After a brief discussion between Yanitaria, Greal and I, it has been decided that I am in a better position to aid Yanitaria in this conflict than Greal, partly because of our nations' extremely close relations and partly because Greal is currently having a civil war. Due to issues with the jolt forums, I haven't completed my Order of Battle, but please expect it, or if need be, a very crappy version of it in the near future.

IC:
Top military brass and even President Andrews himself had been closely monitoring the situation between Yanitaria, Miroxia and Shazbotdom. As though holding back from scratching an itch, certain military units had been put on high alert, but done yet had been getting deployment orders. That was, until negotiations had ended, prompting all sides to put away their pens and prepare for war.

Yanitaria was a close ally and friend of Orbath and Orbathians were known for blunt loyalty, thus it was no surprise when millions of protesters took to the streets wanting the politicians to ''get off their asses.'' In reality, those politicians had been working their asses off, preparing for what was likely soon to be war. The fact was, that Orbath would nearly crumble before it ever watched Yanitaria be crushed. That is why, on Wednesday, May 14th, a formal declaration was issued to the world.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff216/PhotoOrbath/orbathdiploheader.png
I must inform my people in Orbath, my friends in Yanitaria and my enemies in both Miroxia and Shazbotdom that a state of war now exists. The People's Republic of Orbath is now at war in support of our allies in Yanitaria to ensure the swift defeat of our enemies. We will not falter!

Signed, President James Andrews, President of Orbath, HIs Excellency, Count of Throppe

Official Declaration to the Rogue State of Miroxia:

Because war seems to be inevitable, we of the United Royal Provinces of Yanitaria would like to discuss a set of Regulations of Wartime Conduct. The standard Yanitarian "Règles de Conduite en Temps de Guerre" includes the following general principals:

1.) In all cases, ground forces shall take reasonable measures to avoid civilian casualties. Any armed civilian found outside of Yanitarian Control Zones will be considered a terrorist element, and will not fall under the Lillehammer Conventions, the which draws out the rules for the ethical treatment of prisoners. Such terrorists will be required to surrender immediately, and if they do so with out firing or endangering the lives of Yanitarian soldiers or Civilians, their weapons will be confiscated, and they will be given the choice of being taken to a local detainment facility, where they will be kept for their own safety, and allowed visitation by their families, or to a minimum security facility on Okhotsk Island. In cases where the terrorist element does not surrender before endangering the lives of Yanitarian Soldier or Civilian, they will be taken to a medium or maximum security prison on Okhotsk Island, and will be fitted with an escape collar.

Armed Civilians, or civilians suspected and proven to be engaging in subversive acts, found inside Yanitarian Control Zones will be considered a Partisan Element. Should they surrender, they will be transported to a medium to maximum security prison on Okhotsk Island, where they will be fitted with an escape collars. Should surrender not occur immediately, the ranking officer of the unit will decide whether or not the offending partisans shall be summarily executed, or sent to a maximum security facility on Okhotsk Island.

2) Reasonable accommodations will be made towards enemy prisoners to ensure their comfort. Compliant soldiers may be kept in local facilities, and will be treated with respect, allowed brief visitation with families, and will be allowed certain items of comfort, which must be provided by their families. Prisoners of war may choose to take part in chain gangs, which will work to improve and repair the surrounding area. Uncompliant soldiers will be taken to facilities on Okhotsk Island. The attending guards will decide whether or not enemy soldiers are indeed being compliant or not, and have the power to petition to the commanding officer that the prisoners be sent to facilities elsewhere.

3) Soldiers captured will be cataloged, and their names, rank, and identification number will be sent to enemy forces via an unarmed messenger. Should this messenger be harmed this will stop, and all prisoners will be punished, by having visitation and comforts revoked.

4) The URPY will not attack any enemy medical vehicle with a red cross/cresent/star of david/letter M on a white background painted on it, so long as it is unarmed. The URPY will also not attack any vehicle painted white with the word "MAIL" written in the local language on the tops and sides, so long as it is unarmed. However, should the enemy abuse this, the individual squad leaders may choose, at their discretion, whether or not to obey this regulation.

5) Enemy soldiers found wounded or dieing will be offered reasonable medical care, unless such medical care is seriously required by Yanitarian Soldiers or Civilians first.

6) While the United Royal Provinces of Yanitaria owns them, the use of tactical or strategic nuclear first strike will be forbidden, unless authorized by the supreme military commander of the theater.

Should the Rogue Military of the Rogue State of Miroxia agree to also follow these guidelines, the URPY will as well.

==========================================================


HMS Sagan:

Grand Admiral Philippe de Chabot, the newly promoted, and newly appointed supreme commander of the Miroxian-Okhotsk Theater, surveyed his ships from the magnificent window. His Royal Army Liason, Field Marshal Lucien-Joseph Macherat stood behind him.

"Les fusils sont-ils prêts?" the Grand Admiral asked quitely, taking a sip from his coffee mug. The light colored, delicious liquid warmed his stomach, as even with the heating, the ship's bridge was extremely cold. Steam from the drink fogged up his glasses, and he set the cup down on the console, and took them off to wipe them with a pristine white mouchoir, which he kept in the pocket of his pristine white naval dress uniform.

"Oui, Yanitarian Arms is delivering them now. The new AY-144 rifles, I am very impressed by them. Today they are unveiling them at the Yanitarian Arms Expo, in Eiktunet. They'll be ready."

"Bien. Allons, they are waiting." The Grand Admiral downed the last of his coffee, and put his glasses on again. The two officers made their way through the stairwell, and, after a long climb down, found themselves on the deck level, just a short distance from the gangplank. Two ensigns carrying AY-144 rifles escorted the officers from the door to the gangplank, and followed them down, to the stage that had been set up. Members of the states and private press were lined up, with cameras and microphones ready. Civilians grouped behind them, to watch the spectacle, as the Grand Admiral stepped up and took his spot behind the podium.

"Bonsoir, friends, welcome tonight, we are glad to have you here this evening. If you'll bear with me, I'll get through my speech, and we'll answer some questions."

The various members of the press nodded their agreement, and the cameras started rolling. In the background, news trucks started broadcasting live. From home, Yanitarians in the homeland could turn on their televisions to any number of news channels, such as YNW Channel 1, which broad casted international news.

Grand Admiral de Chabot smiled into the cameras, and spoke slowly. "Bonsoir, my fellow Yanitarians, and people of the world. As you know, we live in a country that values freedom, liberty, and equality. Since the November Revolution, we've had a country that has always supported liberty abroad, regardless of philosophies. Yanitaria has liberated christians, muslims, jews, atheists, capitalists, communists, and socialists alike. People from all over the world, from Liech and Wittenshcau, to far off New True Cross hail Yanitaria as liberators, and we work hard to keep that reputation.

"Today, we are about to embark on a journey to another country that requires liberty. To the corrupt dictatorship of Miroxia, I have one thing to say to you. Your days are numbered. Your funds are limited. Your thugs will fail in the face of a determined Yanitarian assault. Soon, the Yanitarian flag, and everything it symbolizes will be brought to bear on Miroxia, and we will ensure that your corrupt foreign policies will never harm another nation.

"The soldiers of the United Royal Provinces of Yanitaria are unlike any in the world. They are dedicated, professional, and among the best that any great nation has ever had the honour of fielding. More over, their equipment is world class, their training is demanding, and their backs strong. And our enemy? Their reputation, at least in my opinion, is that they are underfunded, and will never be able to match the quality of Yanitarian troops.

"To the people of Miroxia, I suggest you rise up in opposition of your government, and install a proper, civilised, democratic government. In doing so, you will be aided by Yanitarian troops, given Yanitarian weapons, and your families may receive Yanitarian supplies and protection.

"Miroxia is at a turning point in it's history. There is simply no way they will be able to resist, and now they must decide whether or not, as a people, they would like to do this the proverbial easy way, or hard way. Thank you. I'll take questions now."

Several members of the press immediately started at once, and the Grand Admiral pointed to one.

"Ingrid Haug, Lena Daily. Sir, would you say that your claims are a bit arrogant?"

"Not at all, just look at Miroxia's economy, it's an absolute wreck. I am not sure how the people get by. I mean, currently, one Marque Royale goes for 23.17 Rupees. That means that our Cinq-Couronne coin is worth more than their base currency. This is simply no way to run an economy." He pointed to another,

"Leonard Baudin, YNW. What are your plans for the post-conflict Miroxia?"

"It has been decided that once Miroxia has been conquered, the nation will be divided into control zone. Yanitaria, Orbath, and Kabavia will each take up a zone, and start rebuilding, and introducing foreign companies and goods, setting up factories and jobs to allow Miroxia to recover. The government set up is likely to reflect the nation, so while Yanitaria and Kabavia will likely have socialist centered economies, the Orbathian control zone will likely have a capitalist economy. There might be an Miroxian Autonomous Zone, but it remains to be seen. As for government, internal affairs will be handed off to a democratically elected government, which will be supervised by Yanitarian inspectors, to ensure that the elections and policies are fair and democratic."

The sun started to set on the horizon, and the Grand Admiral noted this. with that, he raised his hands, and said "I apologize, but we seem to be running out of daylight, and my ships are prepared to embark. I bit you good night." The four officers, including the two ensigns, stepped off the stage, and went back up the ship. Final preperations were made, and the ships prepared to set sail for Miroxia. It would only take another hour, and the ships would begin the 3 day journey south-eastward.Their route would take them on a round about manner so that they could come up from the south towards Port Durant, or perhaps some beach east or west. Time would tell.

Durant was pounding his head on his desk. "Keneth!" he yelled with his face on the desk.

"Heez?"

"Tell them the land is theirs!"

Kenenth then walked out and sent the folowing telegram:

The Pacific Isle Council State of Miroxia do hereby decree, because of distresss to the High Counselor, and a 51-49 vote by Miroxia's Council, we offer you the request land up north and will be kind enough to direct your to a oil paradise, black gold-mine, The Adreani Isles.
