Treaty of Moscowgrad

----The purpose of this treaty is to prevent physical conflicts between the nations who are members of SCAR and the nations who oppose SCAR’s advances. Those who sign this document will be protected under a peaceful relation between the two opposing forces. However, it must be stated that this is not an alliance, simply an agreement to avoid confrontation and tolerate the opposition. The goal of peace will be achieved by the signing of this document.
----SCAR will not have armed forces within forty miles of the land, air, and waters of the opposing signers. Likewise, those who have signed this treaty and who are in opposition to SCAR shall not have armed forces within forty miles of the land, air, or waters of SCAR territories.
----SCAR will neither fund nor support rebellious groups in those opposing countries who have signed this treaty.
----SCAR shall not take any hostile actions against those countries that are in opposition of SCAR and have signed this treaty. Neither shall those countries in opposition of SCAR and have signed this treaty take hostile action against the members of SCAR.
----Those countries who have signed this document and oppose SCAR may NOT institute an embargo on the alliance as a whole. It is permissible, however, to institute an embargo on certain countries.
----In signing this document, you are obliging that your country abides by each and all of the above limitations. If you sign and disobey one of these regulations you risk legal trial in each and every offended nation. This Treaty of Moscowgrad is hereby legalized in International Law.

[OOC: Signing will begin at 7PM EST USA]

Prime Minister Remus York stood in his office behind his red cedar desk. He was glancing out the large window behind his desk at the rolling waves of the Mediterranean Sea. Happily, in just a few hours time peace would finally be established between SCAR and its opponents...

Based on previous concerns over the limitations of this treaty, as well as the aggressive statements and threats issued by several potential signing parties, the Government of Salzland will not sign the Treaty of Moscowgrad at this time.

The SS plan landed in the capital, and Ernesto got out, walking without protection as i sign of good will, we walked to the meeting place

Prime Minister Remus York of The Empire of Hierphil

http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq328/Hierphil/RemusYorkSignature.jpg

Seeing the arrival of the aircraft from the Soviet System, Minister Richard Way walks foward to greet him with a smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Cheark! If you will follow me I shall take you to the Prime Miinister's Office."

Ernesto smiled, "That will be nice, I cant wait for the other nations to arrive"

The delegation from The Dominion of Xult landed in the Hierphil capital. They were met by a rather large soldier escort. Ivan Nikitin didn't think much of it. I would've done the same, he thought to himself. He was taken to a building and was told to wait for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to return. This should be good, he thought bitterly.

President Fields was aboard the Beriev A-50 that landed in Hierphil's Capital. He was taken to a building and awaited for something to occur.

Richard led The Soviet System delegation through the elaborate Italian medieval style complex and up two floors to a pair of large red cedar doors. After knocking once, a voice answered from the inside and Way opened the doors for Ernesto. A smiling man in simple white robes stood at the end of an enormous study. Bookshelves lined the walls and elaborate Persian carpets covered the hard woods floors. The cleanshaven man in white brandished a full head of brown hair and a wide smile. Richard Way shut the doors to the study and departed as the man in white said:
"Ah, welcome, Mr. Cheark! Today is truely a glorious day! Might I instroduce myself. I am Prime Minister Remus York."

Richard Way returned to the bottom floor of the Office of the Prime Minister and found the delegations of Razorl and Xult awaiting him. "Welcome," he said, "To Hierphil. If you will follow me, the Prime Minister is awaiting you."

Ernesto wasnt impressed by the place, Ernesto was just in his usual Guerrilla Uniform and Beret, "Yes it is Prime Minister, nice to meet you," Ernesto walked up and extended his hand

The Prime Minister of the Most Serene Republic of Heirosoloa, David Skii, escorted himself towards the office of Prime Minister York. While troubled at the lack of any real punishment for anyone who broke the treaty David had decided to sign it anyway. It was more than likely that in a matter of days the SCAR threat would be forgotten and the alliance would soon be broken by people who were to ambitious to stay in such a small alliance. Skii soon arrived in the building, but waited to see if anyone else was going to arrive. David had rather hoped he would be last, because he did not think that anyone had expected someone who was merely an observer to arrive.

The Prime Minister shook Ernesto's hand warmly and invited him to take a seat. The Minister himself remained standing as he awaited the arrival of dignitaries from more nations.

Ernesto sat down and propped up his feet, as he got a cigar ready, "So where are the others"

The doors were opened again and in walked the delegations from Razorl and Xult. Although they were not on the warmest terms, the Prime Minister greeted both men with the same greating he gave to Ernesto Cheark. "Welcome! I am glad you have come. Please, have a seat."

Richard Way returned to the bottom floor of the office once more and found the delgation of Heirosoloa awaiting him. "Welcome to Hierphil! If you would please follow me."

Ernesto got up, and greeted the delegate from Razorl and Xult

Ivan Nikitin eyed the Prime Minister with malice. He had never liked Remus York and he felt it to be a disgrace that the man should be in the same room as himself. But, I suppose it's for peace, he thought. "York," was all he could manage to the Prime Minister. After greeting Ernesto Cheark, he took a seat in one of the many arm chairs. This better be quick, he thought.

President Fields sat down in a leather chair, He was wearing his Officer's Uniform which he deserved for the 20 Years of Military Service.
"Now, Let us all get down to the buisness" He spoke with His Razorlian accent.
He looked troubled about how thick it was which made it sound like someone speaking english for the first time. He returned to his blank face and awaited for the others to respond.

David silently followed Way towards the office. After the large chestnut doors were opened he quietly walked in behind the two SCAR delegates who had entered, giving a respectful nod towards the host, Prime Minister York. So he was the one who managed the Treaty. Sounded like the kind of person who would notice the Serenity of Light. A good man to have as an ally. Rather than that dreadful Nikitin who brought about this whole mess. Or Fields. Odd enough accent, he was a sidelines person I believe, never a full advocate for this SCAR stuff. Did the word scar come first and did Ivan make up words to go with it, or did the words he made up magically fit into SCAR. Who has time to make a good acronym nowadays. Gee, this place is nice. I wonder how much it cost to build? David's thoughts slowly wandered off.

Ernesto got up and spoke, "Well after peace talks, a draft of a peace treaty was mad, but before we sign it, does anyone have words to say about it"

Nikitin's face remained unchanged as he said, "The penalty for disobeying this treaty. It is weak. A legal trial is not severe enough. My country has been threatened numerous times over the past few days and I will not feel safe with simply a trial. Why is the penalty not changed to permission of war?" He could not help but smirk slightly at the last three words.

Davids thoughts were brought to attention by Ernesto and Ivan. He quickly stood up, determined to voice his concerns, "It seems nice enough, but I agree with Nitikin. There just isn't much of a consequence for breaking the Treaty. It just seams like Mommy tells you off and that's all." Skii nodded and continued, "But permission for war is too harsh. This is a Peace Treaty, not some excuse to wage war." It was all out now.

Ernesto looked at Nikitin, "well that's pretty stupid, there is nothing here saying you can not defend yourself or your allies, if your attacked, it will be war, and then trail"

Recovering from the unexpected yet welcome arrival of David Skii, York addressed the assembled. "War is what is trying to be avoided here. Are we sure that we want to make the penalty more severe?"

Patrachus Foreign Office
The federation of Patrachus wishes to become a co signitary of this treaty and would like to extend an invitation to all nations Co signing this treaty to join the liberal league an organisation in which member countries bielieve in the right of self determination and the right to be free from the threat of violence

"I agree with Mr. Cheark. War should not be a required penalty. Nothing is stopping war. It only requires a judicial trial." York added.

Koroman Hosviy hadn't planned to attend the signing, but the Foreign Relations Director had made it clear to him that if he wanted the Treaty signed, he'd have to do it himself. Ten hours later, he was walking up the steps of an imposing Moscowgrad building. As a former military sniper, he noticed the excellent sniper positions and worried about the safety of the major nations involved in the signing of the treaty. However, it seemed nothing had gone amiss.

Koloman strode into the study where the Treaty was being signed, and was slightly dismayed at the fact that the double doors were already open, meaning he didn't get to slam them both open at once as he walked in. He loved doing that so much. He walked through the milling world leaders to the table where the treaty was laid out, took the gold pen from the previous signer, and paused.

"Why is there nothing in here concerning attacks from nations outside of the treaty?" he demanded."There's this wonderful thing called a war by proxy - you pay other nations to fight for you - it seems like an obvious weakness to me." He took an index card from his pocket and scrawled a note on it: "A non-negotiable embargo on trade and travel will be imposed by all signers on any country to attack any signer nation, whether or not that nation is a member of SCAR." Koloman handed the card to Remus York and told York to call him when such an obvious loophole had been repaired. Koloman walked back out the double doors and down a flight of stairs to the lobby, where he sat and waited.

"So then what is the most reasonable and peaceful option for breaking the treaty? I would want to say a blockade that would not allow foriegn trade to exsist for a set length of time... but then that itself has it's own problems and I doubt anyone would do it besides myself" Spoke Fields with a Very Thick Razorlian Accent.

[OOC: RS, the treaty is being signed in St Johns, Hierphil.]

(Hey Rotum Solum, peace talks were held at Kremlingrad, nw the signing is in another nation, its ok lol, but in the future check it out better)

"I do think that it is fine as is. Although it does not specifically state that one nation MUST go to war against the treaty breaker, it does leave the option wide open for the victims government to decide." York looked at the assembled delegates.

"Well what a nation does against a nation that broke the treaty is up to them, whether you hold peace talks or you send nukes, the thing is, this treaty try's to make sure this does not happen on a whim, but as retaliation, and I believe any nation that breaks the treaty should become an enemy of all nations that signed the treaty"

"I do want the option of war open, whatever is decided." Nikitin stared at York. Always a peacemaker, never a fighter, he thought bitterly.
Then looking at Ceark he added, "Yes, but this creates and ALLIANCE which has already BEEN created! If we are creating an alliance, just join have everyone join SCAR."

"Well then... I'm in favor that Idea" Fields Spoke as he pulled a flask from under his overcoat and began to drink from it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fields, I am not clear whether you support mine or Mr. Cheark proposition?" York looked inquiringly at Fields.

Ernesto looked at Nikitin, "If this treaty is an alliance then yes it is, its an alliance of peace, not everyone has our socialist views Comrade, if we fight, we fight, but this is trying to stop that, no I will hold your tongue in front of all these people, if you don think I will, try me"

"I dreadfully hate when I have overlooked that, I am in Favor of your proposition, Mr. York" He spoke as he put away the flask and pulled out his pocketwatch.

"Keep in mind, sirs, this treaty will not only be signed by socialist nations but also democracies. I simply can't wake up one morning and decide to declare war. It is not my choice. It is up to our Parliment and therefore you musn't force any nation into a war the do not want or cannot fight!"

"I think the very first action would be interception of the attacking forces if possible. If the any of the armies of the other signers can reach the attacking force in time we would hopefully leave the attacker without a defense. Soon afterward we could force them to some kind of treaty. If we cannot then intercept the force we'll have to monitor military activities and place a trade embargo on them, like Mr. Cheark said," David smiled. It was so odd to be bickering with these leaders in one place where they could be easily kidnapped or killed. Why hadn't he brought guards?

"Ah, Mr. Cheark. You continue to take tones with me. In any case, SCAR will not be abolished. However, Xult is not interested in joining an alliance with democracies. I will however sign a peace treaty with them." Then Nikitin added under his breath, "And this is just another example of how your government is inferior to ours, York. You cannot even declare war without having an arguement."

"Exactly, Mr.York" Spoke Fields

(OOC: Why do I keep thinking that Xult is more of a dictator then a socialist? I mean seriously!)

Ernesto looked at Nikitin, "One more insult to anyone here and see what happens, as for war, I can not declare war, I can if you soil is hit first, but to declare it first, my staff and me vote, and then we let our people decide"

"I quite agree, David, however it should not be mandatory to go to WAR. An invasion INTERCEPTION, fine. Trade embargo? Wonderful. But if this treaty is to be of peace, then war should not be required."

Looking over at Nikitin, York sturggled to remain diplomatic, "Mr. Cheark, let him speak his mind. Insults are far lower than war declarations. However..." he was now addressing Ivan, "You have come here today to sign a peace declaration and if you do not want peace then you have mocked all nations to attend this meeting. Please stay peaceful and keep your words of insult to minimum that these talks may be finished efficiently and peacefully and the treaty can finally be signed."

"Exactly York. If the amendments we suggested are added I will only hesitate to sign the treaty out of caution in case Nikitin chooses to go to war with me." David nodded. "Now if you excuse me for a moment, I must go to the bathroom." David excused himself and walked out, but paused and waited outside the large doors, listening intently.

"Alright.... I have had enough of this Squabbling! Our purpose of being here is to sign a treaty and this argument is not helping!" Fields stood up and yelled.

Nikitin simply stared at the men. Was this the price of glory? "If there are no ammendments, I will sign the treaty as is." he spat the words out as if they were vinegar.

Ernesto grinned, "Ok Ok, looks like some of you do not know how to handle a debate, I would like to tell all nations involved, SCAR or not, You ever get attacked, I shall help you, wanted to throw that out there"

"Ernesto, your loyalty is admirable. My signature is already on the document therefore I suggest you all sign so that the Treaty can be official and this meeting adjourned."

A fax dropped from the sky.

POINT FIVE: Those countries who have signed this document and oppose SCAR may NOT institute an embargo on the alliance as a whole. It is permissible, however, to institute an embargo on certain countries.

This point makes no sense. A country could embargo every member as an individual and not embargo the alliance, and the effect is the same.

"Ammendments or Not I will sign"

"I'll sign it even if I believe SCAR will soon be disbanded."

David Skii, Prime Minister of Heirosoloa

FROM: Prime Minister Remus York
TO: Stoklomolvi

Your fax regarding point five of the Treaty of Moscowgrad has been receveived. The idea of the point is that a country may not embargo another simply for being a MEMBER of SCAR. However, if it is the will of the government to embargo individual countries, the government has that right.

Kindly,
Prime Minister Remus York
The Empire of Hierphil

Ernesto signed it, "There signed"

Ivan Nikitin stared as the others signed the treaty. Then, taking up the pen, he also signed.

The Dominion of Xult

Seeing that there was no further negotiations to be held, he stood up and led himself to the double doors. Without a word, he and his escort of Hierphil soldiers return to the airport before Nikitin departed for Xult.

The Revolutionary Empire of The Ryou Black Islands will NEVER sign this Treaty and declares SCAR a Terrorist Group.

OOC: Because of IRL time constraints, I will kindly ask that all consider my delegation to already have arrived in St. John.

IC:

Minister for Foreign Relations Johnathon Marcus Davis removed his pen from the Salzland copy of the Treaty of Moscowgrad, glad to finally have the document signed. The Salzland Government originally was hesitant to sign, fearing that certain portions of the Treaty would limit the responses against aggressor nations to merely seeking a civillian trial for national leaders. Once this point was clarified, Salzland's objections were lifted and the Minister for Foreign Relations dispatched to St. John to sign the Treaty.

Now that he had finished, there was one more task to perform while in St. John. With the Treaty officially signed, a declaration of Economic Sanctions would be posted against what Salzland viewed as the two leaders in the call for SCAR to wage war against the world: the Nations of Roef and Xult.

*******

To: The Government of Xult, The Government of Roef
From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
CC: Nations of the World

To Whom it May Concern,

As either prospective or current signatories of the Treaty of Moscowgrad, the Government of Salzland wishes to declare that it is instiuting a full set of economic sanctions against your nations, as permitted under said Treaty. No Salzland companies or individuals will be permitted to do business with your nations. Additionally, we will call upon other nations of the world to follow us in placing sanctions upon you.

Your nations have been singled out specifically because of your calls for violent actions against the world community at large. In the future, we strongly caution you to watch your words, lest the world respond with force, rather than treaties.

Signed,

J. Marcus Davis
Minister for Foreign Relations

To: The Government of Xult, The Government of Roef
From: The Head of Industry for the Soviet System

As nations are calling economic sanctions on you, the Soviet System shall increase trade by 200%

(OOC: Shouldn't someone write the actual treaty down now?)

OOC: Hierphil wrote the treaty as the first post in this section.

(OOC: I need to overview the threads im posting in -_-')

Official Statement Aired on XONC (Xult Official News Channel) is as follows:

"Supreme Chancellor Ivan Nikitin would personally like to thank the government of The Soviet System for increased trade. It is advisable for all citizens of Xult to make use of this open trading relationship. In addition, the Supreme Chancellor is remaining silent on the rumors that a number of nations have placed an embargo on our country saying, 'It's their loss.'" -Oscar Nikitin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Dominion of Xult

Prime Minister Remus York of The Empire of Hierphil gave the following official statement to Hierphil National News Channel (HNNC) as well as NNC, NBS, and CBC.

"Earlier this week, our good allies in the Government of Salzland requested that all nations of the world place an embargo on Xult and Roef. Parliment has seen it fit, as do I, for the safety of our citizens to place an immediate embargo on The Dominion of Xult. Our government neither approves of nor supports the inhumane treatment of the citizens of Xult by the Supreme Chancellor. Roef is under surveillence at this time and we will not release any further information until Parliment has made a decision regarding a possible embargo on Roef. Thank you."

OOC: how do we sign at a certain time? IRC? (I can't do IRC)

Another fax dropped from the sky.

While we thank Hierphil for its answer, we will not sign this treaty unless Roef is expelled.

Capitol News Network Live Broadcast
Presidential Address

"Good evening, my fellow Salzlanders. I would like to take the opportunity to speak to you tonight concerning a series of recent foreign events that may soon directly impact our nation. I am speaking, of course, about the recently established organization calling itself the 'Socialist Countries for the Advancement of Rebels,' or 'SCAR.'"

"This organization, ostensibly, exists for one stated purpose. To topple the Democratic nations of our world through force of arms. Now, it is true, many of the members of this alliance have distanced themselves from the use of force. We applaud these nations for their committment to peace."

"As such, your Government has taken steps to isolate the two SCAR member nations leading the charge toward war: The Dominion of Xult and The Military Nation of Roef. Effective immediately, both countries are to be considered under full trade embargos. Our nation will not do business with tyrants who wish us harm."

"Should further hostile or aggressive actions be detected on the part of these nations, or the SCAR alliance in general, additional responses will be considered to resolve this matter. I will announce now that the next step in response to further hostilities will be a full blockade against any and all aggressor nations. We call on our Allies and the Free Nations of the World to support us in carrying out said blockades, should such actions become necessary through the machinations of the SCAR alliance."

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and good night. May God Bless Salzland."

We have been able to make blue prints and materials for a nuclear weapon, we will send u a copy of blue prints and build factories to make the material for you, we are building our first as we I write this

Thank you Ernesto. I look foward to reviewing the blue prints

Supreme Chancellor Ivan Nikitin

(OOC: Xult needs help procuring Nuclear Arsenal? I have a goliath payload of nuclear weapons in larzanziba.... MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA *COUGH*)

(OOC: Good, if you would just ship a few to NEW Larzanziba;-).....)

Message to the world

The Soviet System has produced its first nuclear weapon, we will be testing it in 3 hours

(OCC: All my Colonies have payloads of nuclear weapons. Now the fact of giving you them is not so easy.... I know you dont have peacefull reasons for aquiring such and having such. Though if anyone does attack The Lands of SCAR with nuclear weaponry then my payload becomes defense)

(OOC: Such are my intentions. Xult is currently investigating nuclear sites ourselves and therefore will not need foreign aid much longer. However, until that period, a small stache of nukes in The Lands of SCAR would not be frowned upon.)

So Who are the Head three of SCAR? I know you and Soviet System, But what bout Reof? Is Reof a Head?

To all SCAR members

Encryption lvl 5

This face of peace has been an act, in 3 hours, I will drop my first nuclear weapon on top of the place were we signed that piece of paper with those Capitalist Pig-dos, I order you all to mobilize your entire army for a huge war, for we will take them down, when they think all I want is peace, but their death

To All SCAR Members

Encryption Level 1 (OOC: Razorl's Version of Encryption 5. Encryption is backwards in Razorl)

While I frown upon this action I am order by a higher up to do so. I will not push full forces but send a small force instead... I wish peace was an option but it seems impossible

[OOC: The Soviet System, I would very much frown upon doing so and I would revoke my protection of SCAR. I don't think you want yet another angry state upon you.]

(I do, see in this, Ernesto the head was over thrown by his power hungry general, and made Soviet System a dictatorship, but you dont know that yet you see, I wanted to do an interesting RP lol)

[OOC; Seriously? You sign the treaty just to try and kill us all. Uggh. You know what? I'll magically know what's going on and mobilize my forces.]

(OOC: Change my view)

(come on, Ernesto was jailed, he cant contact anyone, just let the hit happen and rape my forces after, i wanna make this a good RP)

[OOC; Ehh. It would probably be helpful to inform Hierphil he is under attack before you go ransacking his nation. I'm going to retreat to Heirosoloa for the remainder of the RP probably. I'll send over a Sparrowhawk or two.]

[Edit; I'm going to open another thread accusing SCAR of readying a WMD to use against an allied nation.]

(Sure, and that could be the thread where it is launched to, good idea, and if he is on he will see all this hopefully lol)

Koloman Hosviy was only a little surprised. He had caught wind of the change in the Soviet balance of power a few hours before, and accordingly flown back to Rotum Solum to wait out the coming storm. The good thing was that Ernesto's as-yet-unnamed usurper thought word hadn't gotten out. Koloman decided to play along for a little while, but forwarded the message to all signers of the Treaty with strict instructions to keep their knowledge a secret.

Koloman mobilized half his defense forces to the Soviet System, with orders to follow all Soviet instructions until further notice. He ordered the remaining troops to meet up with the Soviet Tank Division that was supposedly protecting his country from invasion.

Koloman had one last thing to do, however. He chuckled, then laughed out loud, as he forwarded the Soviet message to Ciemal Radnvicz, High Director of the Dominion of the OverGovernment. Koloman didn't think his belligerent neighbor would much enjoy being called a pig-dog.

--

OOC: The OverGovernment is Rotum Solum's neighbor and polar opposite, an oppressive dictatorship where humans are treated like animals. It's still me, though, so don't be confused.

Ivan Cesar was laughing, he had imprisoned Ernesto and now had an Iron fist over the Soviet System, 200 planes had assembled 199 fighters and 1 bomber, the bomber was fitted with the first ever made SS nuclear bomb, we waited untill time was right, he hate capitalist and hayed how Ernesto had sided with them, he would make them pay, SCAR would become an unstoppable war machine

Ciemal Radnvicz was enjoying a fine exotic coffee when his computer informed him that he had received a message. "God damn it, it's my coffee time," he mumbled. He made a mental note to execute whoever had sent him the message. He double-clicked to open it, then spit out his coffee as he saw the sender. Ciemal read the body of the text and mobilized all his forces to the Soviet System, under the Rotumian flag. He gave them strict orders to follow Soviet orders, then follow Rotumian orders, until he told them otherwise. He sent a reply message informing Koloman of his actions, then ordered in a slave to clean up his coffee.

[OOC; Thread created.]

Ivan gave his orders to all SCAR men in the area of the Soviet System

"You will all go to the nations that signed the treaty and are not joined with SCAR, stay 41 miles away from these nations untill the bomb is dropped do you hear"

From the Desk of Supreme Chancellor Ivan Nikitin

It is refreshing to see my allies finally see my view! The Soviet System, I cannot express how glad I am at your choice of location as well! FINALLY, Hierphil will pay the price!
