National Motto

​

Capital: Jerusalem
Heads of state: Bashar al-Assad, Diya Amirmuaz
Minister of Information: Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf
Minister of Culture: Omar Souleyman
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Fadia bint Faraj al-Hishami
Minister of Intelligence: Rahman Zahir al-Kader

Official language: Arabic
Currency: Arabic Pound

Formed from the union of the Syrian Arab Republic and Holy Egyptian Republic on [#ERROR_STRING_NOT_FOUND], the United Arab Republic is the foremost power in the Middle-East. It is the champion of Arab nationalism and a peculiar strain of Islam heavily influenced by a tradition of Egyptian divine intervention. While its interests are primarily regional, it is an active advocate of socialist nationalism abroad.

The Republic is currently under the dual leadership of Bashar al-Assad and Diya Amirmuaz, who previously served as President of Syria and Lord Protector of Egypt, respectively. Jerusalem, which is officially designated a Free City, was chosen as the capital of the united Republic for its location at the border of the two countries.

 

[Mathalamus]

the Roman Empire immediately recognizes its southern neighbor of the UAR. hopefully there wont be any disputes.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Completely agree with Thors sign up. Mahalmus, we wish a fruitful coexistance, the UAR as you may assume wishes to expand and encompass modern day Syria, just so you know. If there are we shall talk in a peaceful manner.

 

[Sonereal]

It goes without saying Texarkana immediately declares war on Caribbean piracy and that no peace is possible until piracy is renounced.

Your pitiful aggression on our business (instead of, say, offer us reason to privateer for you so that we can hinder your potential rivals) will further come by your threats against King Elton's lands. They just so happily to be lands that do business. If you do engage do be aware that we are to offer our businesses to the United Arab Republic and the Roman Empire in deterrence.

Keep in mind that we will have the advantage at sea, while your land lovers have to keep ready in case of land wars. However we should mention our part in... "troubling" the Republic of Cuba should be reason for you not to be so harsh to us. It is not too late to learn some manners and join the profiting club as oppose to the "at risk of having Atlantic trade routes crippled" club.

Like the War on Drugs the War on Piracy will end badly for you. Do not make a mistake of going to war with the rouges.

OOC: also pre-game start war declarations are rather ungentlemanly, especially as you have not seen any actions yet (this post actions are protective measures to your... warmongering) and anyway you could have used my presence as a excuse to hail...-

Your pitiful aggression on our business

I am going to stop you right there by reminding you that your business is, by definition, based on aggression. Piracy is a high crime in many countries, and has been for centuries.

(instead of, say, offer us reason to privateer for you so that we can hinder your potential rivals)

We are not going to build our house next to a whorehouse.

will further come by your threats against King Elton's lands.

The Texarkanan Mayornate does not recognize King Elton as king. We declared war on piracy in the Caribbean, not on your fantasy country based on the violation of our shipping.

They just so happily to be lands that do business. If you do engage do be aware that we are to offer our businesses to the United Arab Republic and the Roman Empire in deterrence.

Neither the UAR or Roman Empire will lift a finger to assist piracy.

Keep in mind that we will have the advantage at sea, while your land lovers have to keep ready in case of land wars.

Have you not heard of the Mayornate-Pact War, or did the Siege of Memphis by Texark gunships simply escape your mind? That war was less than thirty decades ago, so we are at a lost as how pirates are simply unaware of the gunships.

However we should mention our part in... "troubling" the Republic of Cuba should be reason for you not to be so harsh to us. It is not too late to learn some manners and join the profiting club as oppose to the "at risk of having Atlantic trade routes crippled" club.

Do understand that ships that arrive to New Orleans also arrive to ports further east. We have no reason to believe the pirates will invite international action against themselves by targeting our trade partners ships.

You can try. It worked well for the Germans in the First World War.

Like the War on Drugs the War on Piracy will end badly for you. Do not make a mistake of going to war with the rouges.

In the 19th Century, European governments took decisive action in combating piracy at the high seas and, for the most part, had eliminated piracy in their time. Until the Collapse, pirates only found sanctuary in the ports of governments unable to exert their will.

Texarkana, as proven repeatedly in our war against the Pact (which no longer exists, mind you), has proven to be able to exert our will.

OOC: also pre-game start war declarations are rather ungentlemanly, especially as you have not seen any actions yet (this post actions are protective measures to your... warmongering) and anyway you could have used my presence as a excuse to hail...-

OOC: Your entire country is based on plundering trade routes. I, can not by any means, recognize your country as legitimate. I see "pirates". I see "pirate confederacy".

I see "police action".

You can always surrender, in which case your confederation will be reorganized to obey international norms.

IC:

I believe that the law-abiding countries of the world will take note of our crusade to restore stability in the Caribbean, promote free and safe trade on the high seas, and is doing all in its power to protect the merchants and citizens of foreign countries within our waters and our lake, which is the Gulf of Mexico.

Any pirate caught in the course of this police action will, by his or her nature, be considered a criminal violating High Law, and subject to death. Pirates that surrender to the Texarkanan government will be granted amnesty. There is *no* government on the Gulf of Mexico except the one based in Texarkana.

Signed,

Mayor Hannegan IV

 

[Ailedhoo]

OOC: Your solution is for me to surrender Sone? In other words the MP3 thing again, which you go against nations you do not like design of? Perhapes everyone should declare war on you for having a Confederal similar flag and hence supportive of slavery?

The point is: pre-turn 1 wars are silly, redundant and only serve to prove problematic with both parties involved (turn one wars are at the expense of the players) especially in how your basically implying a player should change their nation by method of a threat.

 

[Mathalamus]

If you do engage do be aware that we are to offer our businesses to the United Arab Republic and the Roman Empire in deterrence.

Andreas I Laskaris is offended that the Pirate confederacy woudl jsut assume the Roman Empire would help out. please dont assume such wild things again.

that said, we dont wish to help out a nation well outside our sphere of influence. that, and the United Arabic Republic would most certainty be displeased.

OOC: My reasons for the war are entirely in-character. It is your fault for not realizing that most countries don't like pirates. Furthermore, your dredging up of OOC reasons why I shouldn't go to war with you is a repeat of your inability to accept that IC diplomacy is not swinging in your favor.

Barring the GM blocking my declaration of war (which is itself in-character, legitimate, etc), I will not lift this declaration of war barring you agree to my terms. If my declaration is blocked pre-turn 1, I will just declare after the first update. In other words, this war will happen regardless.

You have sent me your terms. I have sent a counterproposal. Dead or alive, Elton will be brought into the fold. It is up to Elton and the pirate crews if they want to be brought to the fold at the helm of a triumphant part of a Pan-Caribbean peace accord or brought to the fold by being captured and forced to dance at the end of a short rope.

If the bandits can't deliver a proposal acceptable to Texarkanan sensibilities, then the police action will continue and there is no further need for diplomacy.

Andreas I Laskaris is offended that the Pirate confederacy woudl jsut assume the Roman Empire would help out. please dont assume such wild things again.

The Roman Empire would find that Texarkana would be a more stable and loyal trade partner. If Laskaris ever deems it fit, we here in the capital would be more than happy to invite the Roman leader to Texarkana for a diplomatic summit and get-together, along with the leaders of the UAR (OOC: Forgive me, I'm not entirely sure how the UAR works).

Emperor Andreas would be willing to go to that diplomatic summit... as soon as we build a capable Blue Water Navy.

[Robert Can't]

I just want to say, as the DOW is not only justified but in character there is no way that I can over rule it.
I imagine this relationship between the two nations was not simply limited to this turn but has been continuing since before the gamestart.

Edit: Ailed, could you spoiler that, its very long.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

Empire of Monaco
Capital: Monaco
Leader: Emperor Peter II
Government: Semi-Democratic Empire. Hereditary Emperor acts as executive, democratically-elected Imperial Diet as legislative.
Currency: The Mon
Languages: Monegasque, French, Italian, Spanish

Monaco wisely stayed out of the major wars over the century. With the collapse of France the small nation began to expand. Within a few years, it had taken control of Southeastern France. It was then that Prince George in 2047 declared himself Emperor George I. George was an old man by that time though, and died a few years later. His son, Albert, made small gains in the empire, but was primarily known for his corruption and harsh rule. In 2063 a rebellion broke out, during which time Emperor Albert was killed. His assassination caused his son, Peter I, to reform the system. He allowed for some Democratic Representation, in the form of the Imperial diet, and allowed for some basic freedoms and civil liberties. He led Monaco's armies all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. His death in 2096 was received by great morning throughout the burgeoning Empire. His son, Emperor Peter II continued his father's legacy by invading Northeastern Spain and conquering Andorra.

The Volgan Federation

Government: Federation of various states, each ruled by a president who's power is countered by the state courts. The Federal President is indirectly elected by them, and also has to deal with the judiciary.

Federal and State judges are elected from the Organization of Judges, of which all licensed judges are a part of. There is a ''Weighted Voting'' system: all people over the age of 25 may vote, but must declare their income before voting. People with an annual income of under 5 000 ZOL have one vote, people with an annual income between 5 000 and 50 000 ZOL have two votes, and people with an annual income of over 50 000 ZOL have three votes. Presidents need a plurality, not a majority to get elected. Public Meetings are allowed, but all media must pass government inspection to be printed: If found to print treasonous or otherwise criminal articles, they will not be published, and the people responsible for these articles will be arrested and tried for treason. Only state-controlled trade unions are permitted to run.
