The Armed Republic of Typheria Puts Uranium On The Market


The nation of Typheria is currently mining and now trading uranium openly with other nations! We are now ready to trade globally. We will sell for $50,000/tonne although exceptions can be made. Let the trade begin!

Signed,
President John Smith

In the interests of:
- Preventing Uranium market instability
- Halting the trade of nuclear material to unstable states
- Stopping true (yet possibly rather uneducated) purchasers from obtaining what is obviously a mix of both U-238 and U-235, preventing possible radioactive accidents from high-danger projectiles that are non-fissile.

The People's Republic of Alfegos has ordered a blockade on Typheria, to halt this trade. All ships out-bound from Typheria will be halted and searched by Alfegan naval ships, and any resistance will be met with equal force. Any attempts to attack Alfegan assets will be responded to by heavy bombardment of coastal facilities. If the Uranium industry in this country does not stop within 7 days, we will commence strikes upon Uranium mining facilities and processing centres.

OOC: @ Typheria, this is all for the sake of good RP. @ Alfegos, using fluid time on this, so this is after the war between you, me, Damirez, et al. Alf, will you be back in the Free World Alliance by then? And yeah, I know, must grave-dig that war thread.

Diplomatic Directorate - Official Communiqué

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General of the Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: President John Smith, the Armed Republic of Typheria
Subject: Illegal trading in uranium

The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture shares the concern and shock of the People's Nations of Alfegos regarding the open and irresponsible trading of uranium products by the Armed Republic of Typheria. In the interest of preventing proliferation of these dangerous materials to unstable regions of the world, the Techncoracy finds itself with no option than to join and fully support Alfegos in blockading Typheria until it abandons the trade of uranium beyond its borders, but will not conduct military strikes at this time unless provoked by an attack against our forces or personnel.

The government of Etoile Artcture therefore announces that naval forces and aviation assets of our nation will be immediately despatched to patrol an exclusion zone outside the territorial waters and airspace of Typheria. Etoile Arcture will cooperate with Alfegos and any other like-minded nations to intercept, search and if neccessary detain any vessels or aircraft found to be attempting to transport uranium in violation of this blockade.

The Techncoracy regrets the disruption this may cause to Typherian air and sea transport links, and would urgently seek dicussions with the Typherian government on ways to find a quick and equitable resolution acceptable to all parties. Our government may consider, in concert with other nations in the Free World Alliance or other groupings of responsible nations, to purchase Typherian uranium ore products so as to deny it from falling into the wrong hands and thereby minimise the economic impact that would otherwise be caused by a permanent blockade of your nation.

OOC: I keep the war as having happened a very short while back, with the former president being re-elected to keep the country stable. I don't have anything about the communist areas at all, just keeping it as business-as-usual until we've finsihed that war. Anyway...

________________________________________________________


That evening, a dark vice began to close on the nation of Typheria. Lurking just outside their maritime bounds, Alfegan craft began patrols. Most were ekranoplans, armed with Harpoon missile pods and holding numerous personnel ready for boarding actions. A light support fleet lay stationary further away to the south, to act as a refuelling point for the craft patrolling.

High above the sea surface, a group of airships were busy on patrol as well: a large sensorcraft surveying sea and air traffic for a few hundred kilometres in all directions was flanked by a pair of aerofrigates, armed to engage both air and surface targets with missiles and 35mm autocannons. Any ship they detected was rapidly pounced upon by an ekranoplan or two, and forced to turn back after a search for uranium aboard the ship had been made, with orders to seize any uranium or other radioactive material they found.

High above the Alfegosian airships a small flotilla of Etoilian aircraft had begun to take up station on various points along Typheria's coast and borders. A baker's dozen of RQ-13A Vultures provided persistent high altitude/long endurance ocean and ground surveillance , flying right up to the edge of Typherian airspace but carefully programmed to go no further.

Standing off at over a hundred clicks were just five E-99C Mystic electronic warfare, reconnaissance and data relay aircraft, carrying operators to control the Vultures and with their own sensors to monitor air, ground and sea movements and threat emitters. A handful of long range tankers, mostly KC-90Bs, had also come along with the force to maintain the Mystics in the low fuel burn orbits, and a handful of fighter escorts.

The crews aboard these aircraft may have mused the irony of finding themselves flying joint operations with their former enemy against a new potential one. Not long before the Mystics had been pinpointing targets to bomb in Alfegos - now they sought to find ships and aircraft transferring uranium in violation of the hasty blockade the two nations had thrown up. Some could not hope watching the Alfegosian airships going about their patrols with as much suspicion as they did the Typherians.

Orders meanwhile had been sent to Googlewoop Atoll for Task Force Aurore to sail to join the blockade. It would be a few days yet before the ships would arrive, and there was no telling what sitation they might find when they did.

Fully aware of the Alfegan blockade, 4 T-Class submarines silently approached an enemy battlecruiser. Commander Tom Ferguson was on edge. Any moment now he would give the order to fire. His cell phone rang.

"What," said Ferguson "what do you need?" That's how he normally talked to President John Smith.

"Ferguson, I am stripping you of giving the order to fire. You are not to fire on any Alfegan naval units unless fired upon first, we are to try to negotiate with them before violence."

"Yes sir." The President meanwhile was making a call to the leader of Alfegos.

Aboard the APS Goldenrod, Rear-Admiral Gjon'soi was busy surveying scans of the area from the operations centre aboard the ship. This was the largest Alfegan ship in the area, until an airship flotilla arrived from Neo'los colony to increase pressure on Typheria. As well as carrying enough in the way of munitions to level a small country.
He switched to the feed from the AAS Allsight as he noticed a faint signature on the Sonar feed from the destroyer APS Zevk'hos. Sending a few orders through a nearby radio operator, he watched as the airship switched its RADAR scans to sub-surface observation. Thermal scans could only see down to 20 metres maximum at this latitude, meaning that they had to resort to their normal method of sub-hunting: Sonar bombs.

A few klicks away, the airship dropped down to 200 metres above the sea surface, dropping on a long cable a large sound detection unit. A drum fell from the airship, hitting the water and sinking. A few moments later, the surface fizzed as the harmonic charge exploded, sending a powerful burst of sound through the water. As the Rear-admiral watched, small ghosts began flashing up, of fish shoals. A much brighter shape showed what they were looking for: a submersible vessel. Orders began flowing. Towards the position of the submarine came a relatively-small aerofrigate. As well as the autocannons and missiles it touted for attacking convoys and small air and surface formations, it held a rack of depth charges for submarine hunting and a few missile/torpeo units for taking ships and submarines.

"Attention Typherian authorities - we have detected the presence of a submersible unit loitering near Alfegan vessels, with suspcted intent to attack. We ask you to withdraw the submarine, before we begin attack on the craft. That last blast they heard was a harmonic charge: if you do not withdraw, we will be dropping many more, tuned to cause resonance within said submersible, and thus cause major structural damage and or hull failure. Heed this warning: we will not be giving it again."

In the President's office, the secretary answered the phone to the Typherian representitive. Being trained in the officious and buerocratic natures of a true government official, she redirected him to the Ministry of War, before they redirected him to the correct place: the Foreign Ministry. A few seconds later, and the Typherian representitive was on the line to the Foreign Minister.
"Good evening there Typheria. I hope you're now seeing what a blockade feels like. Anyhow, I think we know why you're calling: you want us to back off.
We are performing an act of blockade against your nation due to the offering of Uranium upon the market to anyone who cares to purchase it, at prices that are at least 1/100th of market prices for yellowcake, yet alone refined Uranium, which is what we suspect you are selling. As a result, we are forceably stopping you from commiting such an act until you either change your sales policy, or you stop from sales of Uranium. Until that time you reach such a decision, we will continue a blockade and may potentially 'up the pressure' by performing strategic attacks on Typherian Uranium installations to prevent you from continuing in the Uranium trade. We do not want it to come to attacking you, so please comply. And please withdraw that submarine you have parked near the Alfegan taskforce: some recruits are very trigger happy, and any damage the ships are caused by your actions constitute a valid causus bellli for us to move in resources to commence aggressions against your resources.
I can safely assure you that your citizens are protected under Section 8 Clause 2 of the Alfegos Intervention Act, and that any shipments of essentials such as food that need to be sent in due to the blockade will be done by Alfegos, when the need arises.
So, what are you gonna do?

Official Statement from TSRT Government
"The Totalitarian State of Red Tide hereby demands Alfegos cease and desist its continued blockade of the nation of Typheria, which has done nothing to deserve it. Otherwise, we will be forced to breach the blockade. We will not hesitate to annihilate all airships involved in the blockade."
End Statement

Imperial and Royal Diplomatic Communique

To: The Governments of Typheria, Alfegos, and Etoile Arcture
From: The Government of the Commonwealth of Uraartu

Dear Leaders,

In the interests of peace and prosperity, I plead with all the governments involved to temporarily cease the blockade and the sale of uranium. I ask that a conference be held between all parties involved either in the Uraartu capital of Oka-Babilu or in a third party's city. My nation wishes to purchase this uranium for peaceful purposes; the fueling of nuclear reactors for civilian power.

I am sure no one wants this to erupt into a shooting match and I hope that you each take this proposal seriously. Typheria must cease their policy of selling to anyone who wishes to buy, I agree, but a blockade will undoubtedly result in accidental innocent deaths. Please, if you do not stop the blockade, then at least allow Uraartuan ships to carry uranium for ourselves, at least.

I await your replies with trepidation.

Signed,

Joltu Fonga ar-Ekuno, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation

Diplomatic Directorate - Official Communiqué

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General of the Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: Heads of States of Typheria, Red Tide, Alfegos, Uraartu and others
Subject: Peaceful trading of uranium

Your excellencies,

The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture shares the hopes of Joltu Fonga ar-Ekuno, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation for Uraartu, that a larger conflict may be avoided and a negotiated solution found to this presently intractable problem.

At present Etoile Arcture has deployed only surviellance assets to the affected region and has no offensive military presence. While some question the legaility of a blocade, or more accurately an exclusion zone in international waters, most nations must agree that the sale of uranium on the open market to all-comers is both destabilising to the security of all nations, and sets a dangerous precedence if not properly challenged.

It is not the intention of our government to damage Typheria either economically or materially through the use of force or by denying it the ability to export one of its chief natural resources.We therefore welcome and accept the offer made by the government of Uraartu to host talks to resolve thisIf matter. We make clear our intention that should negotiations be undertook, the end state of these talks should be the agreement of Typheria to undertake that in future it will conduct the trade of uranium ore under strict conditions and only between legitimate and responsible nation states.

If other parties agree, our Diplomatic Directorate stands ready to fly a delegation to Uraartu at short notice to begin these negotiations.

---

As diplomatic traffic begun to flow between the various capitals that found themselves mired in the international dispute, the E-99C Mystics orbitting outside Typherian airspace had intercepted their own strange traffic.

"You are not to fire on any Alfegan naval units," the faint voice could be heard to say through a buzz of electronic hiss and squeals. "...unless fired upon first, we are to try to negotiate with them before violence."

"Over an open cell phone channel?" the mission commander asked with amazement.

"Yes, ma'am," the technican snapped back over his headset. "Ma'am, I'm interception fresh signals. This time it's the Alfegans..."

It had been amost comical how childishly easy it had been to intercept the hold-fire command from President Smith, but also perhaps a stroke of genius on the Typherians part that now their intentions were clearly known. But the voice traffic from one of the Alfegan airships provided no such succour and made the blood run cold. "We ask you to withdraw the submarine, before we begin attack on the craft..." an officer was threatening. No one in the cabin dared comment, but many had to share the same thought. The Alfegans were far too hot-headed....

"Inform New Corinth of the situation," the mission commander ordered into her headset, a communications officer immediately beginning the work to code a transmission. "Let's hope our technocrats back home can sort this one out," she said almost under her breath.

OOC: Thread Bridge Post

Official Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: <Open Communication>
From: Rising-Tiger aka Daniel Pearce, Supreme Honoured Parceltongue of the Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka

Subject: Alfegan Naval Blockade of Typheria

The Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka's Directorate of Foreign Affairs along with Vetakan Security and Intelligence Service (VSIS) have been monitoring the Typheria Crisis due to the Tribal Councils intent to secure a large order of Uranium to further our Strategic Nuclear Deterrent, Maintenance of our Naval Fleet and Strategic Alternative to Coal Fired Power-stations of which Vetaka wishes to decommission completely within the next 18 months.

As such whilst Vetaka understands the concerns of Alfegos in regards to this situation, Vetaka must condemn the current blockade as whilst it may achieve its objective of shutting down the Typherian Uranium Trade it is causing unnecessary and unreasonable restriction to the Typherian Populace and to the Typherian Economy which in turn could cause long term damage.

However having detailed these concerns Vetaka accepts the concerns of the Alfegan as such Vetaka wishes to offer a compromise:

1) The Typheria rise the price of Uranium per kilo to a price a competitive price in line with the current Uranium Market.

2) The Typheria establish a independent safety watchdog to vet all potential Uranium buyers. Such a watchdog could be supported by the Intelligence Services of Typheria, Alfegos and Vetaka.

3)The establishment of a Alfegos-Vetakan Observation Unit based within Typheria to observe the Typherian Trade. This unit will number no more than 125 Personnel, will have no powers and will not be a permanent presence unless authorised by the Typherian Government.

The Vetakan Directorate of Foreign Affairs firmly believes that with both points of this compromise done then the rightful and honourable concerns of Alfegos will be addressed and thus the blockade will be lifted. In order to further facilitate this the Tribal Council invites representatives of all sides in involved to the come to the Vetakan Capital of New Theeb to further discuss the issue.

Yours

Dear Messrs Pearce, Flax, ar-Ekuno, and the respective Foreign Ministrie of Alfegos, Red Tide and Typheria:

We announce our immediate support of the Vetakan proposal. Barronia has a new need of uranium in it's various forms and isotopes since our recent national relocation effort, and, naturally, seek the best price possible for such goods.

That said, we do not believe it the Alfegosians or the Arcturians (sp?) respective places to decide what is in the best interest of the global market! Why, pray tell, is it that your own economists know better than those of any other? Whilst we in service of the Crown applaud the principle of your actions, such a blatently militaristic move is highly detrimental to international peace efforts! We are currently in the process, through our corportation Hemlersson Manganese, of preparing a series of convoys in order to purchase uranium from the Typherians. Whilst we do so hate to sound as if we making an ultimatum towards two well-respected nations, we must unfortunately insist that these ships are not searched by anyone other than the proper Typherian Customs and Border Authorities. These ships will be allowed to pass unhindered through the "blockade".

The ships will be purchasing mooring space in Typheria whilst this issue is dealt with - we are prepared to pay the current market price; but, at the end of the day, if cheaper goods are on offer, why should we? A simple case of supply and demand - as demand for Typherian uranium goes up, nations and corporations will be more willing to supply ever-greater amounts of cash, correct?

Unfortunately, threatening a nation with what is little more than phallic displays off of their coastline is hardly a diplomatic method of dealing with a situation, and we would have trusted Alfegos and Etoile Arcture to certainly know better. We hope that burgeoning populations are not giving way to burgeoning egos?

To the Vetakans, we humbly request permission to send an observation team to the conference. We believe that it would provide a helpful report to our counterparts at Hemlersson.

Yours,

(Mrs.) Amelie Carpentier-St Claire

Diplomatic Directorate - Official Communiqué

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General of the Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: All interested parties
Subject: Illegal trading in uranium

The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture reiterates its desire to avoid open conflict in this matter, and welcomes the offer of the good offices of Uraartu and Vetaka to conduct negotiations. We further broadly welcome the proposals put forth by the Supreme Honoured Parceltongue of the Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka which we find constructive but offer some modifications.

It is our contention that the Observation Unit to monitor uranium shipments should contain only nations that have no prior economic relationship with Typheria to avoid any possibility of bias by the inspectors. This would require Vetaka to disqualify itself from this role as it is an importer of Typherian uranium. But it would be acceptable to us for Vetaka to nominate another nation with no prior trading relatiosnhip with Typheriam and whom they trust to take on this role.

Otherwise, the proposals to raise the net price of Typherian uranium exports to market values, and the establishment of an independent safety watchdog in Typheria to vet future clients is well accepted by us.

As a sign of good faith to all parties, the pending naval deployment by our forces will be delayed for one week to allow the diplomatic process to take its course and find a permanent solution. The Technocracy will thus maintain its surviellance capability but will not have the capability to stop and search ships but will monitor any movements and report them to the international community. We hope that all parties will find this acceptable and we look forward to future correspondence on this matter.

We believe that your ideas of the global uranium market are so obscured. What is the price of Yellowcake normally? At least $5000 per kilogram. Now selling pure uranium at a price of only $50 will cause demand to shift to the nation of Typheria, the same as events where nations have attempted to sell oil at ridiculously low prices. Would selling oil for $1.20 per barrel be acceptable by your economists?

You should agree that this case merits the blockade of a nation that is obviously trying to crash the market for its own benefit.

Sir

You are absolutely correct. However, when demand shifts, what happens to wholesale prices?

Typheria's actions risk bankrupting itself, no-one else. Not only will it be unable to serve the demand, but as it's supplies begin to run low (as they will do in a very quick fashion), but prices will soon rise to international levels.

The economy has always shown that it works best when left alone - deliberately obstructing trade serves no purpose other than intimidation and is unnaceptable.

Dear Benevolent Lord,

We, the leaders of the Uraartu people, agree with your proposals regarding a watchdog organization to oversee the proper and legal export of uranium to foreign markets. However, I would also like to invite your government to send a delegation to the Uraartu capital city of Oka-Babilu for talks to iron out the details of who would be considered a proper customer for Typherian Uranium. Hopefully, this will allow all involved to come to a proper definition of 'legitimate buyer.' I hope you agree to this proposal.

Your Excellencies,

We, the Assembled Leaders of Uraartu, sympathize with the plight your nation is currently going through as a result of this blockade by the governments of Etoile Arcture and Alfegos. I assure you that I will do everything diplomatically possible to resolve the situation. Once this blockade is lifted I hope that our two nations may engage in business, specifically the trade of uranium which we are intent on purchasing from you. I would like to go ahead and place an order for as much as possible for our civilian nuclear power plants currently under construction. However, in order to avoid any conflict with the blockading nations, I will not permit any of our merchant vessels to cross into your national waters. Be assured, though, that I and everyone in Uraartu will still be willing to purchase uranium even if the price happens to rise, though the amount may change.

Yours in friendship,

Do not be surprised that you cannot think of a good answer for there is not one. But fear not for we can offer an alternate solution, one which I believe is more than fair to all parties given the circumstances:

The forces of Alfegos and Etoile Arcture will stand down their blockade and return to their own nations to mind their own business for any that remain after 14 hours, when our forces arrive, shall be destroyed.

Diplomatic Directorate - Official Communiqué

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General of the Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: President John Smith, the Armed Republic of Typheria
Subject: Resolution to uranium crisis

Owing to intense international pressure the Unitary Technocracy has reluctantly agreed to stand down its surviellance operation of uranium shipments from Typheria, having previously offered to suspend enforcement of its blocade to allow for negotiations.

The Technocracy rcontinues to urge Typheria to take part in discussions as suggested by other nations on establishing procedures and protocols to govern the safe trade of uranium by your nation. It still remains our own nation's concern that Typpherian uranium suppliers have priced their product signficantly below the current market price, thereby making uranium universally available, and raising the spectre of states that sponsor terrorism, or even terrorists themselves, being now able to afford to acquire sufficient quantities of uranium for refinement into dirty bombs or full-scale nuclear devices.

The analysis undertaken by our economists indicate that Typheria is likely selling its raw material (yellowcake?) at a loss when the full cost of extraction is factored into the equation. The current market price of US$60/kg is 10 universal standard dollars above the price offered by Typheria, and far short of the US$95/kg high that was seen in November of last year. It is for this reason that it has been the opinion of the Technocracy, and the no doubt the same analysis by Alfegos, that Typheria is offering its product at an artificially low price. For what reason we cannot hazard a guess, but the effect may be devastating if the result is to lower the global price of yellowcake.

The Technocracy therefore makes the following counter offer to purchase from Typheria unlimited quantities of uranium ore, up to its full production quota, at the current market price of US$60/kg. This represents a 20% increaee on the price other nations have agreed to buy your product, and would be highly lucrative and a boost to the Typherian economy. By doing this act it is our intention to stabilise market prices and to deny the possibility of cheap uranium falling into the wrong hands, which has been our only concern throughout this affair.

Official Corporate Communique

From : U.S.D.D
To: Typherian Government

In light of another offer given for the Uranium within your nation. Our Division is willing to increase our previous offer to $65/KG and will continue to offer its willingness to transport the ore itself, eliminating your nations required resources needed to sell, thus increasing your nation revenue.

Ok scratch the first part.

This still stands though:

To President John Smith of Typheria, The Infinite Empire is interested in purchasing Uranium from your nation, perhaps on a more regular basis. What tonnage can you provide per week?

Signed,
Lord Erkal
Imperial Foreign Affairs Minister

The uranium industry in our nation is growing rapidly. So we do not have an exact number as to what we can produce per week. Perhaps if you tell us how much we need I can give you a relative estimate.

Signed,
President John Smith

Yes, you will have to come in by air as we can obviously not export is by see. Thank you, how about you pay the price you wish, whatever is appropriate.

Signed, and thanks for doing business with us,
President John Smith

Thank you very much, sir. I will happily pay your stated price and won't cheat you. I hope that by this gesture you will be friends with us. Please check the three threads in our sig.

Thank you for your cooperation. A mining has already begun assembling loads. If your planes could land at the town of Weyerhauser, just east of Typheria that would be great.

Greetings,

We have heard rumors of a significant uranium mining operation in your nation, and are quite interested in purchasing significant amounts of the substance - on a regular basis. We would like to establish a fifteen year contract at 10,000 tonnes per month - or 500 Million dollars a month - for fifteen years. Furthermore, we have heard rumors of foreign powers blockading your nation due to your desire to participate in free trade. We are willing to, if necessary, provide naval security for your nation against potential threats in return for a reduction on the average price.

We realize that we are requesting a large amount of uranium, if your nation is not capable of harvesting this amount as of yet, we would be more than happy to sell you equipment in return for further discounts on raw uranium.

We look forward to doing business with you,

Your Excellencies,

Now that the blockade has peacefully disassembled itself, we would be happy to beginning importing uranium at the price you set. Out civilian nuclear power industry is young, but vibrant, and we would like Typheria to be the sole supplier to our nation. In order to ensure a steady and reliable supply, I have been authorized to pay twice the requested amount. I hope that this is the beginning of a very prosperous trade relationship for all involved. Perhaps the signing of a free trade agreement between our two nations would strengthen our ties together. Do you concur?

Thank you for your interest in wanting to participate with our nation, and in our economy. At the moment, we are able to harvest what you require, but this is the maximum load we can give you. In turn for providing us with naval security we can lower the price to $425,000. Thank you for the contract with our nation.

Dear Your Excellency,

This is joyous news, and we would like to go ahead and place an order for 40,000 tons of uranium per month. I believe this comes to approximately two billion dollars so you can expect payment of that amount as soon as we receive confirmation from yourself or one of your representatives. You are a wise and brave leader, President Smith, for standing up to such tyrannical actions on the part of the Alfego-Arcturan blockade.

If you would like to purchase uranium for military purposes we are going to need to conduct a background check on your nation. Is there a factbook that we can view, or something regarding information on your nation? Should you be approved, how much uranium would you be needing?

TO: President John Smith

We thank you for your consideration of your proposal. As you may be aware, the government of the Republic of Korea has recently supported acts of terrorism against our sovereign nation. To counter this threat, we wish to acquire greater numbers of nuclear weapons in the hopes that the threat of mutually assured destruction - or more likely singularly assured destruction - will encourage these terrorists to back down and see reason and accept pacification of the region.

Our nation has had but a brief, though eventful history, some of the details of which can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=547749). We hope that you will accept our proposal, as our goal is merely to protect our citizens and our devotion to the principles of Juche.

As for the amount needed, after discussing the matter with military advisers from both the Japanese and North Korean states, it has been determined that we would require around 5,000 tons of enriched uranium at present to ensure our safety and victory in the war we are faced with, with as few civilian casualties as possible. We hope that you can understand our situation and do what is right for the sake of all human life

Sincerely,
Katsuhiku Suzuki

We don't believe Typheria is selling Uranium for military purposes, though we could be wrong. And after reading your "history", our Grand Commander has authorized the labeling of your nation as an unstable imperialist nation apparantly polluted by airborne hallucinogens, as the story of the "Death Note" was a Japanese comic book.

By the way, we're Nazis. Your "Death Note" can't do a thing about it. We exterminated anthropomorphics from our nation by burning them alive and sticking red glowing metal rods in their eye sockets. Corporations are above the rest of society. Deal with it.

In response to your message I am both amused and appalled. You accuse of us of being affected by "airborne hallucinogens" for our faith in the abilities of our Premier, yet expect us to believe in such ridiculous notions as 'anthropomorphics'. Such beings are in -our- comic books I'm afraid, though have no basis in reality.

Even under the absurd assumption that such beings exist, we in the People's Republic of Tokyoni would shed no tears over their demise. Our government is devoted solely to promoting human welfare, we would have no true reason to sympathize with those who are not fellow humans. This being said, as they are but a fictional race, it of course matters not.

We do condemn however, how you have taken the illogical capitalist position of allowing corporations such power in society. On this matter, I leave you with nothing but this warning: cancer of the market invariably kills the host.

Onward Juche! All Hail Kira!

Personal Post Script: And when we invade the Republic of Korea, I'll think of you when I personally kill the leader of one of their many corrupt mega-corporations. I'm sure he'll send you his regards in the afterlife.

((OOC: Ironically our nations might very likely hate one another, but there -are- a lot of rather ironic similarities between far-right Fascism and far-left Juche.))

The nation of Typheria is currently mining and now trading uranium openly with other nations! We are now ready to trade globally. We will sell for $50,000/tonne although exceptions can be made. Let the trade begin!

If you violate the sovereignty of the ROK, we will see to it that your people are re-educated into National Socialists, or Nazis, just like us. And if you've not noticed, most of our land has high amounts of radiation, so is the effect of nuclear weaponry. This has corrupted the genetics of many of our citizens, and while it may not show in most of them, certain cellular capabilities are unlocked within the reproductive system. Of course, beastiality is forbidden with our nation, and we punish it with 18 months of work on Heavy Industry Assembly Lines. We've enclosed a video of an anthropomorphic being executed by decapitation, and the camera will show that it is not a mask.

And we know that corporations will sass the government if they are given too much power. But that is one of the places where a Nazi regime like ours is strong; We keep backups on vital industries, and we can shut anyone down for any given reason because we have unlimited power within our borders, and even in certain other countries.

As for the side note, our Grand Commander is an artificially created human, based off of Griffith, our original leader. Griffith died in a helicopter accident, and GRIFFITH-I was shot in the forehead by a Liberty Confederation rebel named Nathan Slusher during a rally of the Special Tactics Force. Of course, we later gunned down a funeral Nathan was at, virtually eliminating the Liberty Confederation's presence in Magna Polis.

Also, you claim North Korea abused its citizens. If you saw what we do to criminals, citizens from hostile nations, political prisoners, rebels, et cetera, I'm sure you'd try your Death Note hocus-pocus on our Grand Commander and fail at it. We hope you'll enjoy this video about how our government deals with scum. (Enclosed is a video of CCU beatings, executions by the most brutal means devised, rotting corpses of defiant prisoners, et cetera)

Regardless of your nation's particular political ideology, it is the belief of the People's Republic that no civilized nation would support the 'sovereignty' of a nation that is responsible for terrorist attacks. In all reality, the Republic of Korea's government is likely as alien from yours as it is from ours; and thus it stands to reason you may indeed be targeted by them in the future. It is foolish to feed the mouth that may one day bit you. Can not you, as a civilized nation display your faith in civilization against barbaricism?

Regarding next this issue of "anthropomorphics." Assuming that what you are stating is in fact correct, we really would care very little. It seems a difficult enough task to ensure the glorious survival of the human race alone without having to worry about the care of those who are not fellow homo sapiens. In short, they are beyond our concern. It seems, however, from our research on the matter, that there are some other nations that seem to have taken issue with your treatment of these said "anthropomorphics." If, then, your nation proves hostile to us on the former grounds of the situation on the Korean peninsula, we will not hesitate to ally with these nations, not for any care for such beings, but for mutual defense against a common imperialist enemy.

Be rational, Korea is our issue, not yours. The Republic of Korea is not a plausible ally of yours, pushing internally for 'constitutional democracy' and the chaos it brings to society. They would strike you as easily as they would strike us. At this particular moment, we have no true cause of aggression towards your nation; thus far, your conduct towards us has been peaceful.

Premier Raito is a merciful and just man, he wishes for nothing more than for all mankind to live in prosperity and justice. Certainly, despite our differing politics, we can find common ground in this, at least more so than with terrorists.
