stJNESII: 2

To Britian
From Egypt

So you are a nation that stamps out and ignores international treaties when it suits it? You are showing us that you cannot be trusted. We put you on notice that if we do not receieve our rightful ships within ONE year, we will declare your illegal and immoral occupation of them an aggressive act and declare war on you.

This will override any non-aggression pacts you may have with any of my allies, dont even bother.

I also put you on notice that not only will you be fighting against Egypt, but also the entirety of the African Communities of Economics which is bound by treaty to uphold the Treaty of Versailles among other nations with bilateral or multilateral agreements with the Egytpian Imperial Republic. We remind you that France lost ALL its colonies as a result of its arrogance and Britain will follow if need be.

We will not back down and we state again the required amount is 4 ironclads and 20 wodden ships of the line.

TO: Egypt
FROM: The United Kingdom of Great Britain


The ships were, upon British acquisition, property of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. We shall not hand them over without proper compensation and we shall not bow to the demands of a nation caught up in its own ego. We have already said we shall not hand you the ships. If Egypt wants war, then she shall have her war - with the nations of France, Britain, and Denmark. We will not stand idle as you attempt to divide and destroy Europe for fear of your own power.

If Egypt wishes to take our colonies and destroy our lives as a result of our 'arrogance' then so be it, but know that in the process she will have to face the combined arms of the European people.

As for the non agression pacts, we simply hope that the nations of the world are wiser than Egypt.

Wait a year for what wont come if it pleases you, but be aware that Britain is ready to fight for her life and for Europe. Britain will not shed first blood, nor shall we attack Africa unprovoked - but we will not let your ships or your men land on our shores, if ANY Egyptian vessels come within the territorial waters of France, Britain, or Denmark, then we shall open fire and let loose our fury against your dastardly attempts at the subjugation of the European peoples. What we seek is the mere continuation of the status quo, and we shall do all in our power to preserve it.

TO: The Republic of Italy
FROM: The United Kingdom of Great Britain


We ask that you aid us in these dark times. We do not demand for aid, we simply ask for it as brothers. Europe shall not fall before the Egyptian menace.
 
To Britain
From Italy

While we do sympathize with your cause, Italy will not take up arms with those who had just defeated our peoples in an unjust war and occupied our nations for two years. No thank you.

To Egypt
From the AU

We do not see where in the treaties signed for entry into the African Communities of Economics that we must aid and uphold the Treaty of Versailles signed between you and the European powers. We do not wish for war with Europe, and we will not enforce any kind of treaty that does not have our named sign to it as well.

To Egypt
From Sahara

We will support you in whatever way necessary.

To Egypt
From Morocco

France must be stopped, for the good of Africa. We will aid you in whatever way possible.
 
From: France
To: Egypt

We stand by our British allies.

From: France
To: The Nations of the World

Our country has, in the past, did many wrongs to all of the world in the pursuit of global hegemony. But we were cast down, and we repented. Now, Egypt seeks to take the world for itself, not learning from our fate. Shall Egypt be allowed to continue to interfere in the foreign affairs of nations? First, it will be France, Britain and our other allies - and if the Egyptian hordes defeat us all, which is not impossible given the immense military potential of the land of the Nile, Bismark will feel only more confident, will be only stronger.

The world must unite against the Yellow (OOC: in the refference to the Egyptian flag) Peril now, lest it consume us all!
 
Greater Russian Republic - World on the Eve of Yet Another War?

The continent is tense. Yet again conflict seems to be breaking out, yet again between Egypt and France. Few Russians want war, however. Of course, many remember the megalomania of France and its ally Britain that had to be stopped, but many also remember the huge cost of lives that the campaigns in Brazil and Greenland and the naval battles took.

Many also remember that Greater Russia, in the Treaty of Versailles that ended the world war, got virtually nothing: British Greenland, which was taken by Russian troops - was given to the new, British-friendly nation of Canada - and French Brazil got independence and Russian troops were forced out, with Brazilian militias sporadically attacking the army even as it with drew. The gesture of goodwill that was in giving Liberia independence was scorned and mocked by the opportunistic Saharan invasion practicaly moments after the last contingent of Russian troops left the Monrovia harbor. And when the government tried to persuade the Saharans to withdraw, they got Egypt and the ACE to back them! So even a war for liberation was out of the question!

Well, that mistake would not be made again. The Russians learned their lesson.

Should war break out, neutrality is the way to go, unless there is sufficient provocation by either side for the Greater Russian Republic to choose sides.
This would, of course, mean that it would be time to be wary of foreign spies trying to sabotage Russia and blame the other side.
But Russia would be ready. And this time, if Russia gets involved, Russia will not be left with nothing to show for her victory at the peace settlement!

The political situation changed only slightly, meanwhile, with the entrance of the Russian Socialist Party into the scene. It's not a brand-new party, but only now is trying to campaign for parliamentary election. Few people support the Socialists, however, as it is the Quebecois wing of the RSP that has started the secessionist attitudes in that colony. A poll taken shows that only 3% of Russian citizens support the RSP. Nevertheless, now, the parties competing for parliamentary seats are as follows, with their stance on government and war and their support in that poll next to them:
  • Russian Socialist Party (RSP) - extreme-left; wants a government like that in the USSA; should war break out, Russia should side with Egypt - 3%
  • Greater Russian National Democratic Party (GRNDP) - moderate-right; wants a conservative democratic government, in which the interests of the Russian ethnic composition should be made priority to those of minorities; should war break out, Russia should side with France and Britain - 8%
  • Russian Democratic Party (RDP) - centrist; wants to keep Russian democracy just like it currently is; if war beaks out, Russia should side with Egypt - 5%
  • Russian Corporate Republican Party (RCRP) - moderate-right; Russia's government should be more rightist, and should cater to the industrialists and corporations, not unlike the Corporatist government in Teutonic Order; if war breaks out, Russia should side with France and Britain - 4%
  • Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) - moderate-left; Russia's government should allow direct presidential election, without the screening of the popular votes by the legislature; if war breaks out, neutrality is the way to go - 64%
  • Russian United Democratic Party (RUDP) - moderate-left; Russia's government should allow direct presidential election, without the screening of the popular votes by the legislature; if war breaks out, Russia should side with Egypt - 5%
  • Greater Russian Nationalist Party (GRNP) - moderate-right; Russia's government should reflect the interests of primarily the ethnic Russians and make Russian the only official language; in case of war, Russia should remain neutral - 11%
As is made clear by this list, at most only 25% of the citizenry of the Greater Russian Republic support choosing sides at the possible outbreak of war. That doesn't account, of course, for the possibilty that many people who supported a pro-war party simply supported its governmental and economic views, not the war/peace stance. Not a single pro-war party passed the 10% margin. The only party that seems likely to be in control of the legislature next year are the Liberal Democrats, as they have a majority of support. The Nationalists would garner more votes if not for their hard-line stance on Russifying the ethnic minorities, which consist of about 20% of Russia's population at all. Their stance, thus, has cost them quite a few votes, considering that war is extremely unpopular among these minorities.

Orders PM-ed
 
Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR)

Presumably not based on the OTL LDPR? ;)

IC:

We are glad that Russia, at least, has agreed to remain neutral. Let Egypt know that it will no longer be able to set Russian against Frenchman at whim!
 
Well, I don't know if I should PM this or not. I'd be interested in taking control of Denmark as I see there's an opening. I've never played a NES before, but am reading heavily on threads here to grasp it fully. Still, if anyone is official "noob helper" and whom I could PM then that would be appreciated ;)

While I'm new to this I do have a bachelor degree in history and am a Danish national, so I should be able to manage. So, if you want me, then I'd like to join. Rules seem quite simple here.
 
Welcome in, but I'll assume that you'll join after the update, right (because we already reached certain agreements with Denmark for this turn)?

There should have been some thread for new players somewhere...
 
Well, if the King approves, then I expect to join after the next update to not upset current orders. I'll also need to compile a wordfile of the Danish status, treaties and generally give an easier overview on the affairs of the world. I have some ideas on the direction I want to go, but I'll re-read then entire thread once more to get into the right mindset.
 
Harleqin: I think I speak for quite a few of the people here that you shouldn't be too shy to ask for help.
And I see you live in Poland! Yaay! I'm from there! I used to vacation every summer in a little village not too far from Nowy Sacz. Poland rules, doesn't it.

Jason: When's update?

To everyone: I GOT INTO COLLEGE! Not my dream college, but I GOT IN! I WON'T BECOME A BUM AFTER HIGH SCHOOL! OOOO YEAH!
 
OOC: Congrats Kamilian, how'd you hear so early? I'm not hearing until December and I did Early Action. And where is it may I ask?

Sorry for hijacking the thread. I'll write a story soon to redeem myself.
 
Loyola. I don't know why I heard so early. I sent it there literally on the last day possible to send the Early Action application. A couple of my friends have already gotten into schools, too.
Now I gotta find some more scholarships cuz the school itself is offering me only about 1/4 of the total tuition. But hey it's a start.
Good luck with your college admissions!
 
no - Chicago
lol i should stop hijacking this thread before jason kills my country
 
Hmm, I thought it was ten new posts of stories and orders.

Instead I got college and new players. Very upsetting.

Jk, good job kam. :) Welcome Harleqim, I hope you will fit in well.
