Multipolarity III - Game Thread

Tsk tsk. I thought we had this talk. If you coup my clients, I invade full force and pay all my income to whoever is currently at war with you.

Your move, Russia.
So, you're going to do the same thing that Namibia did?

I guess Romney being a man of peace is a facade.

I wasn't serious. You really think I would give away all my income and waste all my soldiers just for one client theft?

Perhaps the Republic should look up the definition to "sarcasm", obviously you people have no concept of the term.
 
Plus the rules clearly state you can only give away 10%.

Romnesia should hold it's tongue before insulting other nations. You've already earned a condemnation from our nation for breaking your word on the peace treaty you made with the Imperium. Don't make it worse for yourself.

I, Duke Ultan Lennon of Munster the admiral of the Irish Guardian Fleet of the Imperium, have been set by directive of His Imperial Majesty himself to speak to the world on behalf of the Emperor of Man on the issue of the Romnesian and Neatherscottish issues.

We of the Imperium as we are faceNeatherscotts we also face those who dishonour their oath to a peace agreement. If one does not agere with a peace agreement they do not sign it to oath but keep on warning like a warrior! To make the oath and then continue conflict by taking advantage of the peace considerations is complete dishonour by method of breaking oath. They claim to be intrested in peace but they act in war with oath breaking and now threatening Russia over its comment... the Imperium admits it is a power of conquest but at least we are honest unlike Mitt Romney! Combined with adding a agent of chaos to get back into power in Cascadia and we have the Romnesians proving a threat to world order. It was a "defensive blockade..." a blockade that stopped even other African powers from access... that earned the dislike of the Romnesians by many nations, along with their attempts to not only make themselfs a clienting agency but do so with threats to any competitors. Is it wonder that Namibia, ever fearful that the Romnesians are upsetting the balance of power, would have invaded the Heretic Republic?

The Imperium gives blessings to Namibia in the defence of their realm, just as the Imperium must defend itself from savages that claimed to once have been Catholic till they prove to lack a concept of brotherhood. The Imperium will fight with honour: we will not surrender under a oath that we will break if we were losing but fight on to the last man! We will not need to surrender though: it will be the enemy that will surrender to us! The Emperor has decreed that we will take back our English lands that was claimed by Emperor William of Man in his period of rule! In the end we will find peace... if it is by the White Peace we offer the Neatherscots, that they hand back what they stole so they can redeem themselfs, or be from us forcing to Neatherscots to back off by the gun. It is all in all the will of God, who is on our side, that we fight! Glory to God and the Emperor he placed on this world to rule the Imperium of Man! God bless Magnus Flanagon! God's glory to the Empire of Man! Imperial victory is destined!
 
From: "Sir" Caliph RF (hint hint middle finger)
To: Whoever is running Manx these days


Seriously, what the hell? I'm gone for holidays and it seems like you're at war with everyone and their mum, and losing at that! Your economy is sinking faster than your father's ship, enemies on all side, etc.

There was a time when we seriously thought you were going to attack us. My fears seem to be completely unfounded and unlikely.

After all, I do believe we have, what? Fifteen factories. Fifteen factories to your it-doesn't-matter-because-it-isn't-nowhere-near-fifteen.

We sincerely hope that Manx just stops acting like a belligerent child and work towards a peace with all parties it is involved against.
 
To the Principality of Mann,

These are the terms of your surrender. You are at a clear production, manpower, and land disadvantage that cannot possibly be made up for without divine intervention. There is no point in continuing your struggle.

-The complete surrender of all Welsh, English, and Australian territory under Manx control. Iceland and Greenland will be returned to their rightful owners, and Newfoundland will become an Independent Republic until a use can be found for it.

-The Manx "royal" family will step down from their position as leaders of Mann.

-The Manx will surrender all claims they have to Scotland, Wales, and England


Refusal of the terms of this treaty will result in the violent expulsion of the Manx from all of the British Isles and the complete destruction of the Manx state. You cannot win. Do not throw the lives of your people away in a pointless struggle.
 
I'm still rummaging around for the Casus belli for Neatherscott's aggression towards Mann, other than wanting to lay claim to the British isles and reducing the Imperium right down to holding the Isle of Man. Though that's just my own theory based on recent observations.

Greetings inferior countries of the world! I, Borat Sagdiyev, the most glorious leader in the world give you message from the most glorious nation of Kazakhstan. We discovered that our leaders were working with the Jews known as the Legion. After we learn of the great tragedy the most glorious people of the most glorious country of Kazakhstan led a revolt against the vile Jews. We captured our former leaders and the leaders of the Jews and killed them, and sent their followers up to live in Jewtown. I, the most famous Kazakh in all of Kazakhstan for my documentary of my trip to Solitude, was elected our new leader. Me, my family, my three sons, and seventeen grandchildren then moved to the most largest mansion in all of Kazakhstan, a two-story house with running water!

And so to all the inferior countries of the world, we offer our finest prostitutes to serve as our ambassadors to your countries, with my sister, Natalya, serving as the Kazakh ambassador to the UN. Do remember diplomatic discussions can only happen during sexy time, and you must record them for them to be counted as real. Also any countries give help to Kazakhstan to become like second best nation in the world, SOL-I-TUDE, will receive a free gift of great Kazakhstan potassium. Now, come world, and let us sing our national anthem!

Summary

The world has gone to hell in a handbasket, for lack of a better term. As land dries almost completely up, tensions mount around the world. New Zealand and Japan have begun to grow tense over the Pacific, while Japan also contends with Hyontou over Sakhalin.

Romnesia has shattered the peace accord mere weeks after it was inked, driving most Namibs from its lands, but now having to deal with settler colonies that view the land as their own. Namibia has seen a massive influx of Vampiric troops thanks to the end of the Amazonian conflict, and Canada’s attempt to break the African blockade has met with failure.

Before Romney could savor his victory, however, bad news arrived swiftly. Aden has pushed in from the east and crushed most of Ethiopia, opening an eastern front. Chad has defected to Namibia, and finally, Granada has declared war in response to the attempted blockade of its armies from moving southward.

Manx, meanwhile, saw itself swarmed in an unprovoked attack by the Netherscots, who were aided by the same pirates from the prior year. Though Manx retains military superiority, its economy lags sorely behind, and with other states hostile to it, it is expected the British Isles will soon be unified underneath the United Kingdom.

Cascadia has seen yet another coup, this time pro-Romney, forcing the Canadians to shift their gaze back home.

Most striking is the horror stories coming forth from eastern Europe. Poland and Russia slug it out, with a minor Russian victory that is taking its toll on the occupied populations. Between the adamant desire of Poland to claim Partitionania’s lands, and Russia to nullify the Polish threat (and not caring how many civilians perish in the process), it is expected the Russo-Polish War will be the most destructive in quite some time.

Papal Europe remains among the most peaceful regions in the world, with the French Crisis averted with a swift coup that has restored the Republic and avoided a bloody war. With the Papacy’s candidate elected as General Secretary of the Union of Nations, it falls to the Pope to try and keep peace and order on a global scale.

Word has also arrived that a weapon of mass destruction has been perfected after centuries of dormancy. The Big Five’s order has finally, ultimately collapsed, with the most deadly expressions of sentient potential now once more a part of the picture.

Events

Assimilation! 1 Polish province has declared itself a core territory of Russia.

Patriots have filled the ranks of the Romnesian, Namib, Polish, Russian, Manx, and Ethiopian armies.

Refugees are fleeing warzones where capable, swelling the coffers of peaceful nations. In particular, the Ukraine is being inundated with Polish and Russian refugees; Russia’s army has been negligent with keeping civilian casualties down, scaring many Poles and many Russian citizens fearing reprisal into the hands of the neutral, friendly Ukrainians.

The constant carnage around Romnesia’s ports has prompted some of its traders to defect to more secure powers. (-10 trade)

There is some concern in Spamingrad that being aligned with Romnesia might trigger a war with Aden and Granada, thus severely damaging the trade routes of Spammerstan. However, there is no acting out thus far on the parts of the mercantile elites, who are currently merely voicing concerns.

Romney’s wife gives birth to Demon child; Enerjak denies involvement.

Mozambique has declared formal war on the Blood Empire, and states that it shall be sending forces to repel them from Namibia.

Solitude, the Papacy and Sinai have received an increase in investment due to low tax rates.

Piracy



69 attacks on the 1170 vulnerable trade ships.

Uganda (10)
Romania (10)
Ethiopia (40)
Easter Island (9)

The Pirate Confederacy offers a deal to the nations of the world: they may pay an amount equal to 10% of their trade vulnerability to guarantee no attacks, or they may alternatively pay the ships (at a rate of 1 gold per vessel) to attack enemies.

The Pirates also announce they are willing to engage navies for a price. They can outfit some of their vessels and send them on assault missions, as was done to the Manx recently.

The Pirates also announce that they are under new management. May Admiral Terios’ reign be long and fruitful!

Union of Nations

The Holy See supports Polands proposal for peace, but would suggest that Poland adds that it forfeits any claim to sovereign Russian lands as part of the peace process. Regardless it is our belief that peace, particularly considering the economic cliff that looms ahead of us, is in everyones interest here.

==On the Introduction of WMD==

T1 WMD cost 25 gold. Destroy 1 province or add +10% to a battle per warhead. Use against provinces is very limited to avoid an outbreak of a nuclear war.

A factory must be designated to create the WMD; it cannot be used for industrial purposes on the same turn.

Regardless of size, warheads cost 1 energy and 1 raw material to construct.
 
Because nukes are normally used for sport rather than any serious geopolitical consideration. :p

With the enterty of the Atlantic erupting in war. Many Solitudians have voluntarily joined in the Republic's armed forces. The introduction of compulsory enlistment in the armed forces started around the time of the dispute of New Foundland between Canada and the Imperium of Mann. After a surprise attack conducted by the Neatherscotts and their imperialist leanings and Romney's broken piece treaty. Voluntary enlistment has gone up and many applied for reenlistment after their two year compulsory enlistment was up. Meanwhile in the shipyards, several new cruisers, destroyers, and carriers have been launched from the naval shipyards on the east coast. to fill in the ranks of the Atlantic Fleet and bolster the escort fleet of the Republic's merchant marine fleet.

The wars in the Atlantic, West Africa, and Poland has given Solitudians a moment of pause and concern about the war slowly creeping up to their shores. Greg Tabor, a factory foreman of Carnegie Steel Plant who was going into the local recruitment office to reenlist into the Solitude Army. told reporters "We were hoping that peace would have remained in West Africa so that we can place our minds at ease. Apperently Romney decided to treat the peace treaty as a cease fire and undertake it's quest for revenge." When asked about Romney's statement that the Solitudians should learn about sarcasm, he responded in a much harsher tone "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, He say's he's a man of peace yet he turns around and breaks a peace treaty. His actions speaks louder than his words."

In the Solitudian White House in the West Wing, President Hanna Antilles spoke amongst her staffers about the situation. Throughout the ordeal, she's maintained a cool head during the crisis. After winning a landslide election for her position on neutrality in the up spring of wars she held a press conference detailing the situation. "It's clear now that Romnesia has chosen a path of war and resorting to childish actions such as name calling. He told us and I quote 'Perhaps the Republic should look up the definition to 'sarcasm', obviously you people have no concept of the term'. I will tell him with a serious face, that the people of Solitude knows about the concept of the term. It his actions that spoke louder than words, placed himself on the possition of an aggressor. His words only carries weight of aggression. Hense why the Republic treated his words with strict sincerity and not a joke or sarcasm. If Romney is a man of peace as he said he is, he should dictate it by his actions. Not by his words alone. Breaking a treaty that's only weeks old is not a good way to display his actions as a man of peace.

With Costa Rica's ascension to holding the largest armed forces. Solitude's Department of Defense has decided to keep a close eye on Bowser's moves, especially after Costa Rica's recent curb stomp battle against the Blood Empire. Taking advantage of the recent increase in enlistment and reenlistment rates. The Navarro Army-Navy Base, Nellis Air Force Base and Camp McCarran have both seen their bases undergone extensive expansion to take advantage of the increase troops being garrisoned in the area to protect the Republic's assets in the state of Calinevada. Solitudian solders have been patrolling the Mojave Desert with the latest armored fighting walkers.

"We may appear paranoid. With the recent sneak attacks that we've seen. We can never be to safe and properly prepare ourselves in the event it does happen and retaliate properly." Stated Navarro base commander, Lt. General Harvok. Hanna has made a statement regarding to Bowser's new ranking "We certainly hope that Costa Rica would keep on maintaining the piece between our two nations and our neighbors in North America. Given the volatility of the world, we had no choice but to bolster defenses at our borders to ensure national security within our borders. To place at ease between our two nations, I propose a Non-Aggression Treaty to Costa Rica as well as open a road to a potential defensive alliance in the future.
