((OOC: Nations involved in the Neoslavic Civil War as of 8:03pm GMT, 12 April 2009 are invited to this Summit. This is not the L'Pariqu Summit, you can tell by the name. :p))

The Oceanic Villa was a beautiful place, a large villa taking up a small island in the River Harewood. There was a small airport on the island as well. Acting President Jackson Bryce, PhD, has never imagined that the first use of the Villa would be for an emergency international summit to discuss how to stop a civil war in some far off hellhole in the Baltic Peninsula. He also knew that if the Summit didn't start immediately, the Gates of Hell itself would open in Neoslavia and the situation in Neoslavia would turn into the start of a major war between JPHAON and Greater Americania.

He would represent his nation alone in this Summit. He was standing just outside the Villa, near the airport. Beside him was his two security guards, armed with M16s, SIG P226s and Mossberg 500s, along with a healthy amount of fragmentation and stun grenades. The Pacifican Intelligence Command weren't taking any risks with this Summit.

In the sky, Bryce could see the first planes. There were three runways, luckily.

The first group of planes, consisting of President Garrett Curry's large luxurious plane and three NFGAAF fighters was first to arrive at the summit. Curry's plane landed first, followed by the three fighters after Curry's plane succesfully landed and taxied in. An enterage of military officers, diplomatic officials, and guards armed with AK-108 assault rifles walked down the steps of the plane. Curry was last to exit.

Curry then exited to a limosine that was waiting for him. He and his staff, following in multiple other vehicles, departed for the villa.

Whenever Curry pulled up just outside the front door of the Villa, the 6-foot-10 'gentle giant' Jackson Bryce was there to greet him. Of course, he despised Curry - as he did all dictators - but for diplomactic sakes he'd put up with him.

He reached out one of his huge hands to Curry, for a handshake.

In his deep voice, he smiled; "Ah, hello, Mr. Curry. Welcome to the Pacifican Commonwealth. The Summit will be starting soon. Please, make your way inside, relax in the Lounge."

Of course, there was a hefty number of guards inside the Villa.

Foreign Minister Alexander Ramius, heir to the throne and personal representative of Empire and Emperor arrived via his spartan Leerjet, equipped only with the requisite communications equipment. He traveled lightly and quickly, and was always ready to attend to business. He brought no guard but his trusty Desert Eagle pistol, and hired a taxi to take him to the villa. He was not one for expensive, flashly limos to carry him when a fine taxi would do the job just fine.

Whenever Ramius arrived at the Villa, the Acting President, was as he was with Curry, there to greet him.

He offered him a handshake. "Hello, sir. Welcome to the Oceanic Villa, where the Salisford Summit will be held. Please, make your way in."

He noted the lack of a limo.

"Thank you, President Bryce. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." said Curry, backing down the urge to be an asshole for the sake of diplomacy.

Curry motioned for his guards to move throughout the villa and they did as ordered. Curry walked into the lounge with his officials, awaiting the arriving officials from the other attending nations.

President Curry nodded at Alexander Ramius when he saw him walk into the lounge.

"It is a pleasure for you to have me here. This is truly a magnificent villa, rivaling anything we have in the Empire." Alexander was short and polite in his statements, but he meant business. "It is unfortunate the conflict that brings us here today, but I am glad that we can all meet to discuss peace."

Bored with the waiting, Curry headed up to the meeting room with his guard. He sent one of his men to alert President Brady and Alexander Ramius of his doing so.

"Mr. President and Mr. Ramius, President Curry has instructed me to tell you bothto follow him up to the meeting room so that the meeting can begin. He has instructed me to handle the greetings."

"Sure, I will follow, if you know the way in another nation's villa, that is," Ramius spit out. "I would, however, like to get on to business, as I fear the crisis in Neoslavia will explode if we do not quickly get on to negotiations."

Bryce arrived in the room in a matter of minutes. He had left one of his armed men to greet any late arriving head of states and that.

"Hello again," smiled Bryce, before cutting straight to business. "The Commonwealth is disappointed by NFGA forces forbidding us from entering via docking at the harbour you are 'guarding'. We only wish to save lives, and our peacekeepers are there to defend our aid workers from any forces, facist, communist or foreign, who wishes to harm the aid workers. We cannot send in aid workers unarmed into a warzone, sir."

Alexander Ramius knew that the Pacificans wanted troops deployed in Neoslavia, but for what? What reason? He hoped to probe a little bit. "Worried about the aid workers being harmed? No need to fear that wherever our troops go! The Third Empire is prepared to offer its own personal protection for the aid workers when the aid workers are in territory under the control of Imperial forces, such as parts of the harbor in Neoslavia."

Since President Andrew Hundley was dealing with some Issues in the Capitol, he sent his Vice President, Bryan Shaffer, to the Salisford Summit, VP Shaffer Arrived in a Antiquited 747, with e F-35VIs in Company.

Bryce arrived in the room in a matter of minutes. He had left one of his armed men to greet any late arriving head of states and that.

"Hello again," smiled Bryce, before cutting straight to business. "The Commonwealth is disappointed by NFGA forces forbidding us from entering via docking at the harbour you are 'guarding'. We only wish to save lives, and our peacekeepers are there to defend our aid workers from any forces, facist, communist or foreign, who wishes to harm the aid workers. We cannot send in aid workers unarmed into a warzone, sir."

Nodding, Curry replied "Yes, but due to concerns over a potential conflict between your peacekeeping forces and the NFGA, we must only maintain the current offer. Humanitarian workers would be allowed to work in any of the GA occupied areas, as well as evacuate the local refugees."

Bryce didn't want 'Imperial' forces protecting his nation's aid workers, really down to that the aid workers would work better under protection by their nation's peacekeepers. It was all mental.

"We would trust our own forces more than that of a foreign nation we know little of and does not share our goals of peacekeeping."

"Unarmed aid workers can save lives, but not all of them. For the last time I will state our only goal is to save lives!"

"We note how provoctive NFGA forces have been. Our reports suggest you are making a land grabbing run at any territories we could set up peacekeeping bases on."

Bryce was on the verge of saying ¿Por qué no te callas?, or Why don't you just shut up?.

"Yes.", nodded Curry. "While you may want to save lives, we fear that if we allow to to acquire these territories, then perhaps you will not allow us to pass through them in our attempts to take Communist held areas.


We repeat our offer to allow humanitarian aid workers into GA held lands. We may even allow small contingents of guards to defend them, although nothing big enough to take on GA forces."

Alexander could sense the anger, so he decided to offer gesture of conciliation. "Imperial forces will allow a total of 500 armed peacekeepers from the Pacifican Commonwealth into territory controlled by the Third Empire. Any attempts at assault will be met with the appropriate response. We will not allow any numbers over 500 until a baseline of trustworthiness has been established, and maybe not even then.

Bryce replied; "Commonwealth forces are too small to successfully attack NFGA forces. You have way over one thousand troops, I would guess."

"Thank you, Mr. Ramius," Bryce smiled. "Tell me, how much of Neoslavian territory is the Third Empire in control of?"

"We can agree the allow your remaining 500 peacekeeping soldiers to guard humanitarian workers in GA territory." remarked Curry, making an effort at a deal.

"Thank you, Mr. Curry," grinned Bryce, making no effort at concealing his joy. "So, our first five hundred forces can land now and set up a base, yes? Then, the remaining forces can go into Imperial controlled lands, and that is all we will do."

"Be away we are keeping our ships there, for security reasons and that our ships are carrying most of our aid."

"You may establish a base in the capital, but we will require that your forces be spread out throughout GA territory."

"You may establish a base in the capital, but we will require that your forces be spread out throughout GA territory."

"Of course they would. What would be the reason in only helping the injured in one location?"

"In case you can't tell, we still don't fully trust you. That is why I said that."

Due to security concerns and more important bussines Eden had sent his Foriegn Minister Jacob Ratchfield to the Salisford Summit, Ratchfield arrived in a Learjet escorted by for Jakran Air Defence Force F-35s. After he arrived, he his 4 FSF(Federal Security Force) bodyguards, and 2 aides entered the waiting limo and drove twoards the villa, while on the way he was told the summit had started and given a brief on what was currently being discussed.

Bryce replied; "Commonwealth forces are too small to successfully attack NFGA forces. You have way over one thousand troops, I would guess."

"Thank you, Mr. Ramius," Bryce smiled. "Tell me, how much of Neoslavian territory is the Third Empire in control of?"

"The Third Empire is in control of a section of the harbor, where we have positioned some troops. A word of caution though: I have received word of a battle raging there between the forces of the Third Empire and another nation. We cannot guarantee their safety with such a large scale battle going on."

"In that case, our remaining peacekeepers shall remain on their frigates, or may go into unoccupied territory."

"Unnoccupied territory? What unoccupied territory is there? If an external nation hasn't taken it, it's under Communist hands."

"Then hopefully we can make a deal with the Communists to allow our peacekeepers in, if their representatives arrive soon."

"Alright, we have no objections to that, so long as you are not providing aid to them."

"Mr Bryce, if they do not, we have a stronghold far inside Communist Territory and we are willing to let you use it to get supplies to those Neoslavians in the area"

"Mr Bryce, if they do not, we have a stronghold far inside Communist Territory and we are willing to let you use it to get supplies to those Neoslavians in the area"

OOC: Since when?

"Alright, we have no objections to that, so long as you are not providing aid to them."

"We will not provide either side with aid," nodded Bryce. "Just the innocents caught up in the conflict."

OOC: Since when?

OOC:why dont you try reading the war thread, we landed a while back farther up the coast in Communist Territory to get aid to the people back there

"Alright, well I beleive that resolves the issue between the Fascist-sympathetic nations and the peacekeeping nations. Now the problem goes to fighting the war."

OOC:why dont you try reading the war thread, we landed a while back farther up the coast in Communist Territory to get aid to the people back there

OOC: Hmm, I must have missed that post.

"Mr Bryce, if they do not, we have a stronghold far inside Communist Territory and we are willing to let you use it to get supplies to those Neoslavians in the area"

"If the Communists do not allow us, we will willingly use your stronghold as our base in unoccupied territory, from which we may use as our head base from which we will set up many more bases in unoccupied territory. Thank you."

"On the subject of how to fight the war, we will let Greater Americania have the first speech."

"Indeed on that subject"

"Well, this war doesn't seem like it's going to last too much longer, at the rate our side is advancing. Mastilia and the Communist rebels are going to lose horribly in the capital. They are 600, and my forces attacking them are 10,000. In Saskaya, we will win as well. There we have 20,000 up against their tin pot rebel force. Reijvajik's fleet was just devastated by our and Fluffywuffy's forces. The war is going on our side."

"Of course, we will not allow any Greater Americanian or Imperial forces into the territories we are peacekeeping, as would be expected," spoke Acting President Bryce confidently. "We wouldn't allow any innocents, peacekeepers or aid workers to be killed, of course."

"We Concur with President Bryce"

"Whoa, wait a minute there." pronounced Curry. "What you're going to be doing is handing around at the rear providing humanitarian aid to and evacuating the locals. We're allowing you here, not vice-versa. Remember that."

"I have just received word from the Emperor that, for the moment, the Third Empire will respect any territory the peacekeepers hold as neutral ground, where neither communist nor nationalist forces can enter. However, we will not recognize any such ground where Communists are allowed freely."

"If we are granted rights by the communists to establish bases in unoccupied territories, surely we do not want our bases to be a few metres from a bomb. We will attempt to encourage the communists to leave peacekeepers' territory, of course."

God, those fucking nationalist bastards need to be slapped before they get to euphoric. thought Bryce.

"If we are granted rights by the communists to establish bases in unoccupied territories, surely we do not want our bases to be a few metres from a bomb. We will attempt to encourage the communists to leave peacekeepers' territory, of course."

God, those fucking nationalist bastards need to be slapped before they get to euphoric. thought Bryce.

"We will allow you to establish zones for which you can build bases and be left alone by NFGA forces and, if they approve, Communist, but the town, villages, and cities you will be operating in will still be occupied by Nationalist forces.

"Of course, we will establish bases in GA-held territory, but in unoccupied territory in which we will establish bases we will have no influence from your forces."

"Our main bases will be unoccupied territory, of course."

(OOC: Where has Neoslavia been?))

"That's fine. Just do not expect Greater Americanian forces to vacate any place you wish to operate. Your bases will be your only private locations."

His armored limousine races towards the summit villa. Ever five minutes behind, Jean Pinard hurriedly rummages through the notes and speech written up for him by the special advisory team sent from abroad. "Your voice is only as loud as you make it," was a revolutionary slogan, supposedly coined by the Poet - and it was a theory the Interim Government had taken to heart. The more you spoke, even if you didn't get everything you demanded, the more power you had in a situation.

"Truth without power is weak. Power without truth is evil. The righteous unite truth and power." That one was the Poet, he was sure, in a haranguing speech delivered at the height of the Revolution. The fires had cooled, but the faith lived on.

He looked over the prepared statement once more, trying to memorize as much of it as possible to be able to deliver the maximum effect. A bit of a stutterer, Pinard had never been good at speeches:

"I must forcefully affirm that this war in Neoslavia is not a manner of choosing the lesser of two evils. There is a clear evil, and a clear good. The only evil is to pour more fire and fury into this war. The only good is to stop the killing immediately. The only evil is to render Neoslavia a pawn in the strategic calculations of a foreign power. The only good is to ensure its continued independence and safe self-governance.

Whereas Létatian civilians are involved in the JPHAON effort, we insist that all foreign powers defer to the peacekeepers, that they see to the needs of humanity in common over the needs of any state or ideology. Further, we insist strongly that intervening forces stand down and plan for a swift and total withdrawal of military forces from Neoslavia, while welcoming further humanitarian aid.

Létat also backs the formation of a National Council for Reconciliation, to immediately form a truce between the opposing forces of the civil war and thereafter reestablish a government with a consensus of support from the entire population of Neoslavia. We call on all nations to back such a Council and the efforts of Neoslavians towards self-governance in wholehearted good faith.

Létat is small - it does not possess the same compulsive power of the sword possessed by the fearsome armies of Greater Americania - but it bears a belief in justice and common humanity. The suffering of Neoslavia cries out to be stopped, and it is in your power to stop it. There is only one good."

OoC: Unfortunately it's super late here, but I wanted to throw in my two cents and participate nonetheless before I go to sleep. One can generally assume otherwise that Pinard will read this statement when he can get a word in edgewise and otherwise support JPHAON's peacekeeping operation.

((OOC: Thank God for Letat! I'll wait for him to speak before Bryce speaks again.))

OOC: So did you actually give that speech or were you memorizing it?

OoC:

Bah! Ehrm, basically, I'm in France and I need sleep. As such, I had the guy memorize it and we'll say that Pacifican Commonwealth can insert it where he will - as he's been doing a lot of the initiative on the JPHAON effort.

One of Bryce's assistants walked into the room and handed Bryce a document.

"Ah, it appears we have a message from Letat," smiled Bryce. "I will read it out."

"I, Jean Pinard, must forcefully affirm that this war in Neoslavia is not a manner of choosing the lesser of two evils. There is a clear evil, and a clear good.

"Greater Americania disagrees entirely with Letat and resents being dubbed the "evil" of the situation."

"On Behalf of President Eden and Jakra, I throw full support to Letat's plan and I appeal to the humanity in all other parties involed to do so as well" spoke up FM Ratchfield as Bryce finished reading the speeech.

"By Contrast, President Curry, I find that Greater Americania has a chance to form the greatest force for good. As one of the largest and most active interveners in Neoslavia, if you were to endorse the ceasefire you could indeed bring peace and assist in the formation of a national unity government representing all Neoslavians, not merely the fringes. I implore your government to rise above this conflict look to make the peace, not win the war.

"We will continue the current campaign. The tyrannical systems of democracy and Communism shall not be allowed to manifest themselves in this land."

The UH-63 Helicopter chopped through the air on its way the Summit.

Steve Henderson checked his watch.

"Damnit, I dont even know why we are coming. We werent even invited at first! We sent 1000 troops, and we dont recieve any comments! Do we need to send 99,000 more before we are recognized!?"
The Gunner looked over,

"Sir, that call is way above me. Whatever you do, im sure it will be in both our nations best interests."

The Helicopter landed near the Villa, Henderson rode out in an Jeep with 3 Guards carrying AK-108, and Desert Eagle .50 Pistols, Henderson himself even Wielded a Golden M1911 .45.

"Mr. Curry, if that is indeed your view and you shall not be swayed, I shall not attempt to press upon you any further. If you do not believe in the right of a people to govern itself, I fear we have nothing to discuss. Rest assured that you have had your way here merely because you are armed, not because you are right."

"Mr. Curry, if that is indeed your view and you shall not be swayed, I shall not attempt to press upon you any further. If you do not believe in the right of a people to govern itself, I fear we have nothing to discuss. Rest assured that you have had your way here merely because you are armed, not because you are right."

"You mean "the people" as in individuals governing the nation, rather than a nation governing itself through a nation-state, correct?

In other words, I know I am right and I am doing what I am doing because I am right. If I backed down here it would be a tremendous abuse of my power."

Vice-President Shaffer had heard enough, he instantly shot stright up, almost knocking the chair out the window he had been sitting in front of, he had heard enough from this Facist Pig

"Mr. Curry, you say you know what you doing is THE correct thing, you say, you say, you words may hold much power in you country, but in the world court they hold as much power as a 22 rifle compared to a 16 inch Naval Cannon, you say you know right, why dont you let you countrymen decide for once what THEY want, for in a Facist Pigass state their is not right, only what one man wants, and we have seen what becomes of that when it happens"

Shaffer took the chair he had been sitting in and set it down, sat down, and clamed himself, for surely he would probably break Curry's nose if he said he knew the exact right thing to do, even if it means innocent people die

OOC: The Neoslavian conflict has been resolved so anything that is said at this point is in the past.

IC: "In a Fascist nation, many things are right. The nation is held above the individual. There is no corrupted democratic bureaucracy. There is no denial of national potential for the will and benefit of individuals. These things are right. Death to democracy!"

Curry banged his hand on the table.

"I Would suggest you to learn by the examples of Hitler and Mussolini, Caesar and Charles I"
"And You say death to Democracy, yet your name for your leader, is a direct reference to Democracy"

"Hitler was not a Fascist, he was a National Socialist. Mussolini was an amazing leader who under no logical arguement can be dubbed a tyrant. Caesar was not a Fascist either, and held many anti-Fascist and individualistic ideals. Who is Charles I?

"I suggest you learn, for they are all similar in one thing, they were all tyrants, more obsessed in what they wanted than what their country wanted or needed"

"I suggest you learn, for they are all similar in one thing, they were all tyrants, more obsessed in what they wanted than what their country wanted or needed"

"A thorough study of the history of these men suggests otherwise."

"A Thorough study of facist pigs by facist pigs, of course it would say otherwise curry"

"A Thorough study of facist pigs by facist pigs, of course it would say otherwise curry"

"I could say the same for you, except say study by Democratic Capitalist scum."

"Unfortunately for you we dont study those subjects to learn by their example, for we do not need to learn by their example, unlike you"

"Unfortunately for you we dont study those subjects to learn by their example, for we do not need to learn by their example, unlike you"

"Enough bickering! We shall continue the war in Neoslavia until we have victory!"

Curry stormed out the room, leaving the other delegates dismayed.

"Well that goal was achieved" Shaffer said, as he got his jacket and went out to the Government owned 787 for the trip back to Philadelphia

The "Goal" Was to show that facists deserve no respect because of their short temper and willingness to cause wars because of it, and he had just proved it
