The UK cannot offer Boer civilians the amnesty usually given to civilian populations as your people continue to support your war effort. They continue to directly help your armed forces or join them.
Also, it cannot be said that the Boers have not killed British civilians. Your sieges and bombardments have devastated the people in the cities. Your rampaging armies have taken food from the land and displaced numerous civilians. Do not try to take the high ground when you are so unqualified for it.

While there is some merit to the words you have recently said regarding the death of civilians in your South Africa colonies we would like to point out that a number of accidental civilian deaths in war is a natural part of war. While this is sad any country that engages in war must realize that at some point non-combatents will be harmed. This is tragic but it is in no way as evil as the deliberate killings of non-combatents. This is a true evil and one that no nation should ever commit for any reason. As such I propose we draw up new definitions and articles of war to keep such an act from occuring. Any armed civilian operating in the field of war should be classified as a combatent the same as any soldier but any unarmed person should be classified as a civilian exempt from fate of a soldier. Thus allowing the British forces the ability to kill rebels but keeping this war from becoming a genocide of the Boer people.

Why do are you attacking one of the world's greatest powers without being involved at all in the current conflict?

Is it an attack to ask for both sides to consider redefining the rules of engagement to reduce the number of civilian deaths and keep a war from turning into horrible atrocity?

What the hell are you talking about? These are CIVILIANS! While non-combatant casualties are an unpleasant inevitability in all warfare, only a monster would single them out! There is no excuse for your actions, the Boer Republic has never once caused intended harm against British civilians specifically and we will not stoop to your level and participate in such butchery even after your disgusting display of savagery. Why do our civilians deserve to be killed in cold blood? Prove that our civilians help our armed forces directly! They never have!
May God have mercy upon your souls.
To: World
The British Empire has shown it's true colours. We implore the civilized nations of the world to place trade embargoes against these murderers until justice is served. We also ask for international aid to help our civilians survive this campaign of mass murder. This is no longer an issue of Boer sovereignty, but of the survival of innocents!
To: Bulgaria
Our civilians are not in the field. Our armed forces are made up completely of combatants, all the murders commited by the British were done to Boers in the Orange Free State, in their OWN towns, on their OWN soil. The British are not fighting rebels, they are fighting a sovereign nation's armed forces. This is an example of genocide, clear and definite.
EDIT: Orders will come tomorrow, is that cool #1?

Not only do we remind the world that the Boers instigated this war but we also point out their disregard for the conventional rules of engagement. What we attempt to do now is end the war quickly. If it requires a strategy of total war to save both British and Boer lives, so be it.
Also, the Royal Navy will stop and search any ship approaching within 5 miles of the Transvaal and Cape Colony coast.
To: the Boers
This has never been a question of Boer sovereignty. We offered peace and sovereignty before our counter-attack. Do not try hide motives of power-grubbing with pleas of innocence. You chose to break the de facto ceasefire.
OOC: Same with the orders.

So, you'll save Boer lives by murdering them?
And once again, we point out that you in fact, instigated this war when you broke your promise of sovereignty to us. You are digging a hole for yourselves. Even if you do manage to beat us, do you think you will ever be able to dominate the region after what you have done to it's inhabitants? You are fooling yourselves if you think there will ever be peace in South Africa until our survival is assured.
There was no ceasefire, we offered terms of peace as well as promises for mutual growth and friendship. You chose the path of murder and hatred, now you will reap what you sow.

Yes, until the taste of war truly becomes terrible in your hearts and minds we will not have peace.
Understand that we did not attack you until after the recent attack mobilized by your nation.
You offered us a rump state. Murder? Hatred? Is that not what you have committed in northeast Cape Colony?
OOC: The rhetoric and saber-rattling is fun, but I have a Calc test tomorrow. What follows (or rather, the lack of type that follows) is neither diplomatic silence nor guilt-induced isolation.

It speaks volumes for the "strength" of your Empire that you have to implore the tactics of street thugs to subdue two small republics. No, we have not committed murder or hatred against Cape Colony. We have used civilized methods of war and never once targeted civilians. You were being beaten and thus had to lash out at innocent women and children to gain victory. What did you expect us to do during war? Not attack?
You are not soldiers, you are murderers and criminals and will be dealt with as such.
TO: World
Once again we ask the international community to act. You must stand up to these murderers. How long before these monsters come for your women and children?

Is military upkeep automatically deducted from the total eco or must it be paid each turn?

it must be paid each turn
Demetrias

OOC: It isn't obvious but you can tell because your IC point total is just that the total it is not short any. So if you have to pay upkeep and its not taken out automatically on the stat page, which would make your IC total not equal to the sum of your individual IC numbers, then you need to pay it each turn.

I still would like more orders! Preferably from everyone. I only have eleven.
