Capto Iugulum: Empires and Nations

Confirming that I'm taking the Gubernatorial Faction.

To: The Empire of Holy Spain
From: The United States of America
CC: The Usurper Alfred Scott and his gang of criminals


While we appreciate the sentiment, any solution that involves the criminal and traitor Alfred Scott going unpunished cannot be allowed. If we allow for Scott's actions to go without penality, it only opens the door for similar events to transpire in the future. The only way for the United States to maintain integrity and stability is for an end of the illegal occupation of the area controlled by the Scott faction and for a complete restoration of the previous government. While we would prefer for this to transpire by peaceful means, as we have shown we are willing to make this happen by force of arms.

We would like to congratulate you on recent union, both maritally and politically. We see no reason why our prior agreements should be threatened by a wedding, and we also look forward to future economic and political cooperation.

From: Empire of Holy Spain


Your recent actions against our holdings in the Chinese coast are of such an execrable nature that we are unable to believe a human being could be so brutal with someone else. Through its actions, it seems that the people of the Ascendant Kingdom of China are not humans, but devils, whose only task is to destroy civilization and kill each other with as much carnage as possible. However, we are people who try to think the best of others, and wish to give you one chance. But only one.

By this message, we warn you that, should you not pay restitution of the lifes lost in your attacks against the Spanish port of Zhoushan, as well as restore said holding to us, before the next year is through, we fear that we will have no choice but to declare war against the Ascendant Kingdom of China and strive to fight it until it concedes defeat.

We hope also that the nations of Netherlands, Scandinavia and United Kingdom join us in this ultimatum, as they were equally affected by the Ascendant Kingdom of China's barbaric attacks, and we invite any other nation interested in this to join us in the punishment of the Ascendant Kingdom of China.

Are you sure you want to put your nation under the stress of a huge civil war that will probably destroy it or make it impossible to recover from it? General Scott has made it clear that they are willing to negotiate an end to the war that does not require soldiers to die.

We echo Spain's ultimatum.

We too echo Spain's ultimatum and demand restitution for the damages you caused to the city and inhabitants of Taizhou. Along with the return of Taizhou to us.

We support this ultimatum.
 
This would be the 40 hour warning for the update.

The following messages comes in the form of severed heads

To: Demons from Beyond China
From: Ascendant Kingdom of Holy China

We will cleanse Holy China of your fiflth and the disease you have spread among us. Your kind are not human, but a foul wind sent to test the strength and resolve of the Chinese people. All China will be purged of you and fires set to remove the infestation that you represent.

Due to the need to get this out of the way before the update itself, and to allow player responses, here's some IC stuff from me.

From the Desk of former President Arthur Taylor:

It is with a heavy heart that I now resign the office of President of the United States of America. After seeing the specter of a rising civil war on the horizon, I choose to step down and formally name General Alfred Scott as Vice President and my successor. General Scott has assured me that elections will take place, and I wish to tell all the American people that I have only done what I have felt right for the United States. Regardless, I, and those like-minded in the House and Senate, have agreed to formally accept Scott's demands unconditionally. I urge the dissidents in Florida, the northeast, and in the territories to accept Scott's demands and return to the Union before such time comes that our farms, towns, and forests are bathed in bloody.

I go now to my retirement in seclusion, sincerely,

Arthur Taylor.

To: The People of the United States
CC: All Nations


Though this conspiracy to name Alfred Scott as Vice President and the subsequently force President Taylor to step down seems as though it was a very well thought out plan, in reality, it has adds absolutely no legitimacy to the criminal faction that is currently illegally occupying the District of Columbia. As Mr. Scott seems to have forgotten, the Vice President of the United States is an elected position, and if there is to be a change to the office in the middle of a term, the new candidate must first be approved of by Congress. Furthermore, as Congress cannot be in session at this time, there is no one to accept the President Taylor's resignation, meaning for all legal purposes, Arthur Tyler remains the President of the United States. However, as the current President is, admittedly, seemingly no longer able to perform his duties (as a result of being held hostage by a group of usurpers) the duties of Acting President now fall to the legitimate Vice President of the United States*.

*OOC: I don't know who that would be or if they are even available. In the eyes of the Gubernatorial Council, the position of Acting President simply falls to the highest government official who is loyal to us, since any disloyal official is viewed as compromised.
 
I will now be playing the Republic of Florida.
 
To: All nations involved in the Chinese Crisis
From: Empire of Holy Spain


It is very clear that the Ascendant Kingdom of China, or at least its leaders, are not humans, but devils sent by Satan himself, for it is impossible that a human being would behave so barbarically. As such, and given the last message the people of the Ascendant Kingdom of China has sent, we ask all the nations in the world to join in our Declaration of War against the Ascendant Kingdom of China, and work with us to ensure that they receive their fair and just punishment for their crimes.
 
To: The Ascendant Kingdom of Holy China
From: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland


We hereby declare war on the Ascendant Kingdom.
 
To: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
From: Empire of Holy Spain


We thank you for your declaration of war against the AKC, and we hope that we can collaborate, not only in this crisis, but also in the crisis that currently exists in the United States, for a fast and fair peace between the different seceding factions.
 
To: The Ascendant Kingdom of Holy China
From: The Republic of The Netherlands


For your failure to provide adequate reparations and return rightful Dutch territory, we hereby join our fellow European nations and declare war on your nation.
 
To: Holy Empire of Spain
From: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland


We look forward to cooperating with Spain on this matter.
 
To: China Killing League of Europe
From: Poland


Poland sees General Kong as not only attacking your holdings in Asia, but as attacking Europe as a whole, especially after his recent "diplomatic" message. Therefore, we would like to request to join in on your crusade against this foreign menace.

Jacksonia refuses to recognize General Scott's regime and the resignation of President Taylor and will be entering a state of armed neutrality. We will not become a part of this nation again until the former elected government is restored and General Scott hangs for his crimes against the people of Jacksonia and of the United States of America

To protect our nation, we have appointed Colonel Lee Evans of the former United States Army to become General of the Army of Jacksonia

Jacksonia will grow strong and prosperous, and her people happy and free, with or without the United States.
