TO CHINA
FROM ROME
This is very simple.
You get out of South America and Panama NOW or we will make you get out of there.
Understand?
If your forces have not withdrawn by the next update, Rome and her allies will send forces to free the Andes Confederation and the Panama Canal, and if the need be attack China itself.
By the way, for your sake, I suggest you join the United Nations, it would enable you to have an arena in which you can defend yourself with words.

TO INDIA
FROM ROME
It is refreshing to hear of another big empire willing to act to preserve freedom.
I suggest we sign a military alliance against China should they refuse to leave South America, and perhaps have closer relations soon.
I also urge you to join the United Nations, so that we can have a conference to discuss matters in.
Julius Caesar
Friendly Roman Geezer
TO THE WORLD
FROM ROME
We would like you all to join the United Nations, where matters of importance can be discussed.
Five questions would need answering first however:
1) Where should the UN be based?
2) What is your stance on nuclear weapons?
3) What is your stance on China's invasion of Panama and South America?
4) What is your stance on the Russian aggression towards VikingLand?
5) What is your stance on the American Civil War?
The charter of the United Nations would be this:
1) All nations that join must devote at least 10% of each of their armed forces to the United Nations Defence Force (UNDF) which is a peacekeeping force but may undertake offensive actions should they be required. A nation may not have to send forces to the UNDF if the Security Council votes that they are in danger, ie; VikingLand trying to prevent a Russian invasion at the moment.
2) All Resolutions must be seconded, and then the members vote on it. A Resolution needs to have had at least 7 votes cast concerning it to be considered passed or denied. If the Resolution concerned economic sanctions or other non-military matters, the Resolution is passed by popular vote. If the Resolution concerns peacekeeping forces being sent or invading a nation (to remove it's government for example) then the Security Council must vote on it, and how much force to send and where. The amount of forces sent, where they are sent in the country or area, and whether forces really are sent or not (instead other means being used to begin with) are all considered Security Council Resolutions that must be passed. To send peacekeepers, 3 out of the 5 members of the UN Security Council must vote to pass it. To invade a nation, 4 out of the 5 members of the Security Council have to vote to pass it.
3) A country can be exempt from sending forces to the UN for the duration of a crisis so long as their case is recognised by at least two of the Security Council members. If the nation is a Security Council member, it requires either two Security Council members to recognise it, or one Security Council member and two UN members.
4) The UN Security Council is made up of 5 nations, which are elected every 5 turns. A country can stand for re-election. Security Council members must send 20% of each of their armed forces to serve in the UN Defence Force, unless exempted by the process outline in Regulation 4.
5) The UN is NOT a military alliance. If a nation is invaded, then other nations in the UN will only help via the Defence Force should Resolutions be passed to do so. However, if a nation is invaded, it is automatically exempted from sending forces to the Defence Force until peace is declared. Abuse of this (getting an ally to invade so you don't have to send forces) will result in any Resolutions to help you automatically being denied. If you are the invader, you must present your case to the Security Council to be exempted from sending military forces in the normal way, since it was your choice to begin the war. There you will have to give a good reason to have invaded, or you may find that you have to send forces while still fighting a war.
I hope you will all find this agreeable.

First Consul of Rome
Orders:
3 legions and 1 fleet to begin exercises in Northern France to get used to working together.
The construction of the huge defence network is to continue.
The air force is to be upgraded to Large as soon as possible. Once that is complete, begin upgrading the navy to Imperial.
Roman scientists are to begin looking into the possibility of a Star Wars defence system to shoot down the ICBMs fired by nations and submarines, reducing nuclear capabilities to those nukes that can be dropped by planes, or fired in cruise missiles (which are slow and lumbering and easy for a SAM to shoot down without causing a nuclear blast, since nukes don't arm until they reach the target). If this is found to be possible, the scientists are to begin to contruct this System.
Finally, Rome is to begin construction of another nuclear missile in our Alps military base.
