Unless I dun goof'd the previous round and someone brings it to my attention. Otherwise, I only post what's confirmed at the end of the turn. I still have nightmares from Mathalamus' flip-flopping in IOT4.
 
In light of the instability created on the Japanese Islands by the tensions between Yamato & the Shogunate, the Taipei Legion hereby officially announces our neutrality in the region.

The Norselands states it will not be involved in any aggressive war, but will not tolerate offensive action against its economic allies.

USSR creates the Union of Communist Countries. It will be the same as the UN, except that only Communist states can join.

Also USSR embargoes the Formating Crew.

This... "Union of Communist Countries" is a laughably hollow copy of the Comintern of our glorious past, before the Great Nuclear Fires rained from above. The false socialism promoted by the so-called Union of "Socialist" Soviet Republics will bring nothing but totalitarianism and death to the unfortunate citizens of Siberia. The Union of Socialist African Republics completely and utterly denounces this false offer of peace and stability, as it will lead to nothing but famine and disease.

If you want a true promise of peace, stability, and friendship, you needn't look further than the Luanda Pact, now expanded to two members; a more secure alliance you could not request - certainly much more stable than this so-called "UCC."

The Norselands looks upon this struggle between communist & communist & capitalist & crazy with amusement. It has never been our policy to engage in anything more than limited alliances with outsiders, and the Norselands has no intention of joining any alliance.

Furthermore, popular uprisings in Reykjavik and all through Clan Newland's territories have brought Bjorn Skullsmasher of ruling Clan Ulfsark to the negotiating table. Following a tense week of negotiations, the rebels have laid down their arms and the heads of Clans Newland, Ice, & new Clan Sea now sit at the High King's table to weigh their voices in matters of policy. Norselands is now a Democracy.

And NATO!
 
The Norselands states it will not be involved in any aggressive war, but will not tolerate offensive action against its economic allies.

...Alright, then...

Norselands is now a Democracy.

...so what are you going to do about the situation which lies before us? Your client state has...had an operative who attacked the wife of our President. Inexcusable. Do the right thing. Renounce your protection of them, and let swift vengeance take its course.
 
Alaska, we se no reason why you should embargo USSR.

We would have requested to join, but you dont know a nothing about Communism and you are always aggressive against USSR.
 
...Alright, then...

"We will allow you to pound them for a time!" *whispering* "Actually, no. My colleagues *rollseyes* tell me they have voted to lean on the client state to give the operative up to you to avoid a war. Flakking coward clans."

If you would have read the report, you would know that the operative was killed by our President, who was defending his wife.

So. What say you now?
 
Alaska, we se no reason why you should embargo USSR.



We would have requested to join, but you dont know a nothing about Communism and you are always aggressive against USSR.


I do not pretend that my nation follows the utopian ideal of communism; we abide by a far more realistic and practical ideology - that of socialism. For a totalitarian nation such as yourself, that cares not of its workers but only of the upper echelons of your society, to call yourself communist is an insult to Karl Marx and any true followers of communism.
 
Arrests made in the Tabriz Crisis investigation

Several arrests have been made recently in the ongoing investigation of the National Intelligence Bureau's mishandling of the Tabriz Crisis. Seven intelligence officers were apprehended earlier today by the Federal Investigation Bureau on charges of espionage. It is believed that the agents in question deliberately falsified and tampered with evidence concerning possible nuclear weaponry within the city state of Tabriz. The government has refused to release any further information.


Kurdish forces clash north of Baghdad


Kurdish air support flying over the aftermath of a battle just outside of Khalis

Elements of the Kurdish National Army clashed with شعلة الله forces outside the town of Khalis on Tuesday afternoon. Located 15 kilometers north of Baghdad, Khalis is considered a strategic point needed to push on further south. شعلة الله forces have dug themselves in the town, making the battle for Khalis a difficult one. Heavy artillery and air bombardment began early Tuesday morning, followed shortly by a large scale armored offensive against the northern fortifications. Fighting has since progressed deep into the town, where شعلة الله rebels used the buildings and alleyways to ambush Kurdish columns. Top generals within the Kurdish government have expressed hope that the Kurdish army will be able to breach through the town and reach Baghdad by the fall.
 
Now that I can log in again, orders officially locked. All combat is between states and rebels, so battle and spy results should follow shortly.
 
Jinari Senate Formed
Shogun Shiden, a General of the JSDF before the cataclysm, has organized a small advisory board consisting of elected officals that would serve as senators to the people of Jinari. Since rebuilding the region with the help of survivors of the Powergame Fallout, Shiden held an idea to formulate a republic in the wastelands of Japan. With the recent contact and subsequent rift with the Yamato Empire, branding them as 'rebels'. Shiden had to place democratization on the backburner for a time and took up a benevolent form of a military junta, ensuring that the liberties are preserved in a post-apocalyptic world. Shogun Shiden sees this as taking one step further into democratization, though he still has the final say.

Jinari Anti-Defamation Council Formed

In response to the increase slander and libel from the Empire of Yamato. The council of senators have organized and formed the Jinari Anti-Defamation Council with the help of private intensest from across Tokyo and across the Jinari lands. The aim of the Council is to counter the ever increasing slander and libel from the propaganda arm originating from the Empire of Yamato. "It's getting quite disheartening to hear all sorts of slander and libel coming at us" Senator Kasumi told a reporter "It's getting tougher and tougher to ignore them while we rebuild from the ashes of the Powergame Fallout." Senator Aki then told reporters "that the defamation from the Yamato Empire is totally and utterly disgusting. Tripe not seen since the days of George W. Bush. He even had the audacity to defame a general of the old JSDF."

Jinari Declaration of Independence Bill Drafted

Shogun Shiden met with the council of senators in the Tokyo Diet to settle the Yamato question. In response to intrusions into the Jinari's sovereignty, the Jinari Government drafted a declaration of independence, stating that they are an independent nation separate from the Yamato Empire. The Jinari Government cites the Potsdam Declaration, and the pre-Powergame Catyclism Japanese constitution that regulated the Emperor as purely a ceremonial role with no possession of sovereignty. The "Not recognizing the Yamato Emperor as divine" goes back to the Shinto Directive and the Humanity Declaration.

Many citizens across the nation of Jinari have expressed disapproval towards the Yamato Empire, not only for encroaching onto their sovereignty, but for holding centuries old traditions that were rendered outdated by post-modern and post-apocalyptic standards. Senator Aki stated "The Yamato Empire are a nation still trapped in the old world, the Post-Meiji and pre-Potsdam era, of governance. Yet have the audacity to claim our nation as part of their own." While Shintoism and Buddhism are practiced, many Jinari citizens enjoy the benefits of freedom of religion and the separation of church and state.

Senator Kasumi voiced her concerns about the declaration of independence "While most of the world sees us and recognizing us as a independent and sovereign nation. The Yamato Empire would still question the validity of the declaration and still unjustly brand us rebels of his so called 'region'". "We built this region with our own bare hands" cited Senator Taki "We rebuilt this nation back to it's former glory before the Powergamers came. The Emperor of Yamato, with his old world thinking, thinks he can walk in here like he owns the place. I got news for him, he doesn't! He claims that our people are his subjects when infact non of the Jinari citizens even swore allegiance towards him! The Emperor of Yamato is still trapped in a fantasy world of the feudal era, claiming other states in Japan as 'rebels' and attempted to strong arm us into becoming a puppet state!" Many of the senators all agree that the planed ratification of the Declaration of Independence of Jinari is a reaffirmation that they are an independent and sovereign nation, not part of the Yamato Empire.
