IOT Clash of Ideologies

[arya126]

The Empire of the North humbly apologizes to Canada for the loss of life. It seems we made a mistake putting that Rear Admiral Nantz in charge of things; he has been promptly been reassigned. We offer 2 IP compensation in return for a 5 year NAP between our two nations in order to avoid war when there is already a bloody conflict to the south.

Long live our Beautiful Queen!

Fylkir Bjorn, head of state of the Norse Union and chief of the Norse faith, has given hence forth a call to "spread the word of the Allfathers across the seas to make the weakened strong by the word of Odin." Approving this ideal the Council of Norse Nations agreed to commission for the missionary service planned by the Fylkir. Hence forth Prime Councillor Kusti Stigsson, in service to the Fylkir, commissioned the traders of the Norse Union to help tranports the newfound missionaries across the seas.

Notable among the missionary groups Kjell Winter heads to Carthag in hope of not only deploying a Norse religious presence but also to present a offer of a defence pact from the Prime Councillor.

Meanwhile Hinrik Johnsson heads all the way from Iceland towards France in hope of commissioning his own spreading of the revived Norse faith.

Heading to Black Russia the missionary Kaapo Saari hopes to succeed in at least establish a religious Norse community in Black Russia, hoping this in turn could set a off set missionary mission towards Mongolia.

Aware of the secular policies of the Allied Nations the missionary Gabriel Jarvi from Finland begins a long journey towards the destination, seek to travel through the Meditation and the Suez on his way towards the designation in Australia. He will be followed till Egypt by fellow missionary Illiam Quayle from the Isle of Man who will drop off to establish himself as a Norse godi in Alexandria.

Finally to America the power of the METH intrigues Fylkir Bjorn himself, leading him to personally choose Gunnhild Vinter, a gydja from Norway, to set a missionary mission in the METH in hope of not only establish religious presence but diplomatic linkage.

Such be the plots of the Fylkir.

The South African Admiralty demands an explanation from its captains as to why they did not make steam as ordered, thus forcing our generals to annex the wrong Sudan.

The Emperor has decreed that these lands will soon fall under the authority of the Han.

Salted Ruins

Hanno Basilcar was a very, very happy man. The year was 1942 by the Gregorian calendar and, finally, Carthaginian troops once more approached Rome. This time, however, there was no Senate, there was no Fabius and scorched earth tactics; it had been 2,158 years, but, finally, Carthaginian soldiers returned to finish what they had started. The scattered farmers and villages around the grand city of Rome put up no real resistance, and the Fifth Army, under General Basilcar's command, having marched north from the holdings in southern Italy, was at the Eternal City's gates; it took naught but a day before the gates opened for the Fifth.

Basilcar grinned. On the outskirts of Rome was stacked the individual bricks and pillars of the Apostolic Palace, deconstructed and being shipped back to Tunis for reassembly. Strung along all the roads of Rome were the Cardinals, crucified along the roads; the Pope himself was crucified in the center of St. Peter's Square. Basilcar's men had finished sacking Rome, taking for it all the wealth and history they could carry out on their backs. It was time.

“Open fire,” Basilcar shouted. The two artillery regiments attached to the Fifth obliged General Basilcar. Dozens of guns, heavy and light, lit up the night sky above Rome, as they turned the city into so much rubble. The guns fired into the morning, and then into the evening; until, finally, the guns fell silent, their stores of munitions used up in completion.

Over the course of the next month, elements of the Carthaginian Fifth Army roamed around Rome, burning the small hamlets and villages around it, salting fields as they went. Thousands of tons of salt, prepared in Southern Italy before the conquest, were brought north, air dropped in the thousands of pounds across the city, the villages, the fields. Crops were burned and replaced with salt; entire forests withered away, until finally, there was little left of Rome and the Seven Hills except for blackened rubble and the bodies of the fallen; the city was struck off of official maps, and General Basilcar returned to a hero's welcome, along with the Apostolic Palace – rebuilt as the official Capitol building of the Carthaginian Union.

What a barbaric act of subhuamn barbarians! The Aryan civilization should not accept this insult to humanity.

Go on. Try and do something about it.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

Néo Vyzántio shall be bringing the following territories into our glorious empire this year; interfere at your own peril.

 

[Mosher]

Actually, nevermind. We have plenty of land to expand into.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

We would much rather take the Sinai for ourselves; Carthage has all of the Sahel & Mali to expand into; we, on the other hand, would have to resort to War or Colonization to expand if we give up Sinai.

 

[Mosher]

Yes, we understand. We've dropped our claim to the Sinai.

 

[Sonereal]

Stating our intentions regarding expansion, as per preexisting agreement.

Edit: The Baltic States are already Russian. I forgot to adjust for this. Only claim for this turn is out east.

Although Carthage has scuppered our plans to rebuild the Cape to Cairo Railway we believe that Africa is big enough for both nations. South Africa therefore proposes the Treaty of African Division. The principle points are as follows:
1. The lands of Africa are to be amicably divided between Carthage and South Africa following private negotiations
2. Neither party shall infringe upon the others territory or their endeavours to annex said territory without permission
3. Both parties shall agree to a non-aggression pact
4. Any attempt by a third party to claim territory in Africa shall be construed as an act of aggression against both signatory parties and responded to as such

We invite Carthage to agree to this treaty should they find it reasonable or open negotiations to modify it into a document both nations can agree to.

I can agree to all parts of this. I'll send you my planned expansion here in a moment.

Aware of the secular policies of the Allied Nations the missionary Gabriel Jarvi from Finland begins a long journey towards the destination, seek to travel through the Meditation and the Suez on his way towards the designation in Australia. He will be followed till Egypt by fellow missionary Illiam Quayle from the Isle of Man who will drop off to establish himself as a Norse godi in Alexandria.

Such be the plots of the Fylkir.

If this Gabriel Jarvi has a proper Norse Passport, a valid access permit stating whether he is coming to visit or work, and a certificate of pacifism issued by one of our political psychologists outside the checkpoints, then he may enter. At which point, he may apply for a preaching permit (Applying for which requires that he not be a citizen of the Allied Nations). If he is granted one, he may preach within the migrant workers housing, and nowhere else within the purview of the Allied Nations.

We take our belief in science and rationality quite seriously. Citizenship requires secularism.

Within the gestalt of the Allied Nations...

/The Kingdom of Cuba has deliberately disenfranchised our people/
'We do not declare war so easily'
?What other option have we?
/We must protect our people by liberating them from Cuba, whether by force or by word/
'We cannot afford war at this time. Many other lands need stability, democracy, and freedom'
?Columbia was one of our signing countries We owe them our assistance first?
#The Pacific is a larger concern We must secure peace in Indonesia before placing pressure on Cuba to free our people#
'We must develop socially our infrastructure improving the lives of our people should be the focus'
/Hush....do you see that/
?Interfering meddler Kill Her?

Somewhere in South America, a young woman drops dead. It is of no concern - the monitors got what they wanted.

Scandinavia and Austria have entered into a Defensive Pact.

...and as demonstrated by your secularism you will find that the Norse merchant quarters in your capital that will be set up to help enhance our trade will hence be a position to have a Norse temple, since your secular nature would mean you would not take a harsh eye to the practice of religion. We will spread to your population and the missionary have diplomatic status as representatives of the Fylkir: hence Gabriel will carry a parchment detailing his diplomatic status as a missionary of the Fylkir.

Such is being a diplomat of Odin's representative on Earth.

Scandinavia and Austria have entered into a Defensive Pact.

Agreed.

Austria claims the Netherlands utilising one naval and one land unit, and expresses its disappointment with Carthage for its territorial aggression towards Austria.
