Egypt Extends Alliance offer to the Northern Watch

President Akbar Ali has just been elected to office as a member of the Egyptian Nationalists! Many believed that he would push for a great expansion, instead he has shocked the world by offering the hand of alliance to the Northern Watch. The North Watch holds territory in the old British Isles, while the previous government and the rich of the old nation has fled to Canada or Australia, many of the common people remained, converted to the new strange Norse Religion.

Diplomatic Responses


In depth trade offers and agreements will have to wait until a response is given by the Northern Watch. However the Egyptian Republic is willing to allow to use of the canal in exchange for a NAP, a single trade route and the agreement to hold a meeting to discuss areas interest in the middle east that both our countries have influence in. As we expand we will most likely become neighbours, as such we shall also keep you in mind for future opportunities.

EDIT: Just re-read the trade section and realised you can only trade with one nation once.

The Great Turan is willing to accept this Non Aggression Pact, along with the single trade route, and the meeting to discuss the Middle East, we are grateful that Egypt is willing to talk about areas of interest of both nations.

President Akbar continued to astonish those who had derided him by continuing to seek peaceful relationships, he is now rumoured to be turning his attention West to the The United Megrheg Wali Emirates. meanwhile the cynics remarked he was merely securing his flanks for his inevitable war of aggression. Talks continue behind closed doors on what is being called the 'carving up' of the Middle East, while a envoy has been despatched...

To: The United Megrheg Wali Emirates
From: The Egyptian Republic

Our far republic wishes to extend the hand of friendship to you, our fellow African power and defender of the Mediterranean. As the other gate into these waters, and a ally of our neighbour to the north, every effort should be made to coexist. While we cannot offer a trade agreement just yet (pending talks), we would happily offer a NAP. We would also offer free passage through the Suez Canal in exchange for equal rights passing through the Gibraltar Straight. We would also like to discuss the 2 provinces currently acting as a buffer between our nations.

OOC: Not sure exactly how the Trade works. Is it 1EP for none trade nations, 2EP for a trade route between a none-commercial and a commercial, and 3EP for a trade route between two commercial nations?

Or is it 2EP for normal trade routes and 3EP for trade routes between commercial nations?

Either way pro-commercial diplomacy seems paramount.
 
The Commercial Watch Alliance

The Egyptian Republic is calling for a alliance between the four commercial powers of the world. If the nations sign on then the Suez Canal will be opened for free use and each nation encouraged to trade with every other member from the alliance to create a more powerful trading union.

  • Northern Watch
  • Watcher States of Indonesia
  • Empire of Japan
  • Egyptian Republic

So far this alliance contains no link to military action, but it is hoped that the power gained by trade would cause each member to build closer ties.

EDIT OOC: Edit, its revealed that it is additional bonuses for commercial nations. Either way a trade alliance between all four would reap powerful gains for each nation. It would also leave the 5th trade route possible free for local entanglements.

This trade alliance could become a defensive alliance if all members deem it applicable. This larger alliance is a seperate affair from the proposed total alliance offered between the Egyptian Republic and the Northern Watch

The UMWE feels our trade relationship is a virtue. You and Turkey will be free from any burden of tithe from travelling through the Gibraltar Straight as you are to be our closest friends. We hence offer our hand also in a offer of a defence pact, while suggestion that Turkey, Egypt and Megrheg make a pact of alliance so that we can protect our common interests while having grander time in dividing territories between the three of us. Consider this well.

The Great Turan accepts this offer of a Defensive pact, and while we don't mind you calling us Turkey, as we are a unified Turkish Nation, Turkey references just one of the Turks the Anatolian Turks, and we would prefer if we were called by the name of Turan if you wish to shorten our name, as Turan refers to all the Turks and not just those in Anatolia.
 
The Northern Watch graciously accepts this alliance with Egypt. It shall begin a long and prosperous friendship for both of our countries!

The Northern Watch would also like to announce the opening of trade routes with Canada and Japan. In addition to that, we have signed a defensive pact with Canada. Our diplomats have all been rewarded with bonuses along with promotions for their many and great successes.

Is that a no to the proposed Indian-North Watch trade route?
 
I've become too busy for more than one game. Sorry, retractin my join.
 
Same for me, unfortunately. I bit off a bit more than I can chew at the moment.
 
With the Collapse of the American Socialist States and Japan the world has changed. Egypt's ally, The Northern Watch, has passed on information that the Indonesia Watcher States is pursuing an isolation policy, curtailing any alliance entanglements.

As such The Egyptian Republic is turning its attention towards closer ties with the Mediterranean powers. While our Alliance with The Northern Watch must take precedent, Egypt is happy to sign defensive pacts with these powers. (Turan, Megrheg) With two trade routes still open Egypt is extending them towards those who have professed friendship with its allies The Northern Watch. Trade Routes are on offer to Canada and India

Trade Routes
  • Turan
  • Megrheg
  • The Northern Watch
  • Canada (Not ratified)
  • India (Not ratified)

Nations rise across the globe - old powers and new alike face a challenging era. Can a nation successfully maneuver to power whilst avoiding nuclear obliteration?

Time will tell.

GM's note: Imgur is being weird, hence the attachments. Will see if I can fix it, but don't count on it.

Let the games begin!
