StKNES5: A New Lease on NES

[Kamilian]

From Papua
To Malaysia:
We do not seek to join your undemocratic empire.

From Fez Sultanate
To Portugal:
*SECRET* If you give us your entire North African colonies and the Berbers that live within them, we will not pursue further a war with your nation. Be realistic: fighting a two-front war will eventually, if not immediately, consume your resources.

From Fez Sultanate
To Eire:
Thank you for your support.

From France
To Portugal:
Give away most of our land and population? Heck no! We will fight your evil and sent it back to where it came from!
You shall regret your invasion when our armies feast in the Lisbon Palace!

From Georgia
To Israel:
We will trade with you, friends. But who are these "Chosen People" you speak of?

From Egypt
To Israel:
What transgressions do you speak of? The Emirate of Egypt has just only come into being, and thus has no transgression against you.

OOC:
Darwin, your stats, as you already know, have been fixed.
The map file has also been edited, just not on the thread. You will see how much you expanded on the next update map.
Lord_Iggy: Some of those islands in the east have not been taken over by anyone yet. Your ships just haven't reached them yet.

 

[Finmaster]

From Byzantine:
To Dacia:
What kind of union are you talking about exactly? We need to negotiate the exact terms of this kind of a pact, if we wish to make one. We will also need to discuss about future events in world politics so we wouldn't have different views on them if we would unite, we'll send you a PM regarding this.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

To: Papua
From: Malaysia
Undemocratic? Perhaps we should explain our government to you. People in our regions elect a representative once every two years. They go to the Grand Council in Kuala Lumpur to vote on important issues brought up. The fact that our hereditary rulers vote with 33% power is to make sure things DO get done, rather than bumbling around with tied votes.
You might point out that sometimes this system will let a minority get its way. This has only happened once in our government that has lasted over a century, and that was to send away part of our navy to explore the eastern ocean, which will contribute to the long-term safety of our nation by providing fortresses should our capital ever fall.
We do not ask you to reconsider your decision, we just want you to be aware that we are not an 'undemocratic empire'.

 

[Giio]

To Lesotho
From Malagasy

At the time we could not afford a trade agreement, However now that we can could we interest you in one?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Forget my earlier orders, I made an economic mistake. New orders from Malaysia.

Upgrade Army to Iron age.

If I can do anything else, start construciton on Golden Ports of Kuala Lumpur.

 

[Kamilian]

From Lesotho
To Malagasy:
We're interested.

 

[andis-1]

So when is the update going to be?

 

[Israelite9191]

To Georgia
From Israel
The King and Knesset, in accordance withthe Kohane Gadol, wish to respond to your inquiry. The title of "The Chosen People" means that our Lord and G-d chose us out of all peoples to follow all of his Law, rather than mearly that of morality. If you and your people should wish to learn more about the faith of Israel, we would be happy to oblige you in sending priests to educate you. We are quite pleased that you have accpeted our deal for trade. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Georgia!

To Egypt
From Israel
The wise King Solomon would first like to thank the Emirate of Egypt for responding. Also, the wise king wishes to clarify that his people have decided to forget the burden of slavery that was thrown upon Israel by the now distant Pharoes of the Kingdoms of yore that once graced the Nile. The Knesset has advised the heir of David and Saul to make sure that it is known that this does not mean that the people aren't still in awe of the great achievments of the Pharoes of yore, only that it was these rulers, not you, that were the problem. Please do not let such silly things interrupt the business of enriching both of our peoples through trade. please, reconsider our proposal. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Mitzrayim!

 

[Kamilian]

OOC: Update will be on Sunday. Deadline is that morning at 10 AM US Central Time

Lord and G-d

Did the CFC actually censor out "God"? Doesn't seem like a hurtful word to me. But I'm not the one who makes the rules here, so...

From Georgia
To Israel:
We want to learn about your faith. Maybe then relations between our nations will blossom even more.

From Egypt
To Israel:
Ah, well those times were way past, and well beyond our time. We only just established our Emirate. And the government of the Mameluke Pharaohes that ruled this land before our arrival is already gone, its sniveling last dynasty dead. So you can be sure that no such slavery will ever happen again upon the Israelite people.

 

[Israelite9191]

Kamilian- I spelled the the word as "G-d". The reason I did this is because acording to Jewish belief (I am a Jew incase anyone hasn't figured that out yet) writing the name of G-d, even in English, is a sin. The reason is that if something happens and the recordis removed then that is like saying G-d dosen't matter and is thus a sin.

To Georgia
Form Israel
The wise King Solomon, in accordance with the Knesset and the Kohane Gadol, have agreed to send kohanes (priests) to your nation to teach you and your people the Law of our Lord. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Georgia!

To Egypt
Form Israel
The wise King Solomon, heir of the warrior King's David and Saul, had no reason to believe that such slavery would ever happen again. It is mearly that the Knesset and his majesty felt that it was time to let things go and move on, as you are new rulers and have as of yet made no transgressions against Israel. Once again, we propose a trade route. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Mitzrayim!

OOC: Kamilian, the update mentioned nothing of the founding of the Egyptian Emirate, and , noe that I think about it, nothing about the Arab invasions at all. Could you possibly fix that?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yeah, it couldn't have been censored by a spam filter, because Kamilian wrote the word just a little while later.

 

[Sheep]

To Perth
From The Australian Commonwealth

We would like to form a non-aggression pact with your nation.

To Malaysia
From the Australian Commonwealth

The Australian Commonwealth will stand by the Paupan Republic against any aggression from your quater.

To Maori, Papua and Perth
From Australian Commonwealth

In light of aggressive moves of these Oriental peoples, the Oceanic democracies should band together under a military alliance of sorts. If Papua is invaded by Malaysia for example we can only be next. Peace has flourished in our region lets allow our collective strength ensure that peace continues still!

 

[Sheep]

Relgious Beliefs of the Oceanic Region

The predominate relgion in the Oceanic region is a relgion called Demosism.
Demosism is based on the belief of democracy as the true government and the incorruptiblity of the people's agents. In fact it is due to this that little corruption is found in the Commonwealths of Australia or the Maori, in Papua and even in the Perthian Empire.

More on this to follow.

 

[Sheep]

Kamilian why is my economy screwed up? It used to be growing and now its recession????

 

[Lord_Iggy]

There is no need to fear, for Malaysia has no aggressive intentions towards the Papuans, or any of the far eastern nations. Attacking any of you would upset the balance. Trade in the future is far more profitable than violence now. Only if you become hostile to us, will you need to fear us. Our army upgrade is merely for defense against Tranvacore.

 

[Kamilian]

Sheep: You overspent. You didn't adjust your orders that weren't used the previous turn to compensate for that economy loss that happened, so you overspent.
Israelite: I see, ok. But about the Arab invasions... There was an entire paragraph on it.

In Israel, the government has attempted to enlist the settled Arabs – who call themselves “Palestinians” – to fight the Arabic tribes that continue to violently occupy the south. The Palestinians have refused, however, to fight their own. Though most of them have embraced Judaism, they are not eager to fight their own blood-brothers.
However, it seems that there won’t be much need to fight, anyway. Many of the Arab marauders have pulled out of southern Israel and poured into the Mameluke Kingdom. There, the Arabs have established the “Emirate of Egypt”, replacing the old Mameluke government. The leader of the Arab armies, Mahomet ibn-Pasa, has been made the despot Emir. Lucky for him, the Mamelukes are still quite un-recovered from the plague, and therefore resistance is only lasting in the southern parts of “Egypt”, where the plague was the least severe and where the Arab armies have just arrived.
Babylonia is also apparently going the way of the Mameluke Kingdom. The capital has been occupied and the emperor executed. Another of the leaders of the Arabs, Omar ibn-Pasa, coincidentally the brother of Mahomet, has been proclaimed “Emir of Iraq.”
This may signal the end of the Arab invasions.

From Egypt
To Israel:
We will gladly trade with you.

From Perth
To Australia:
You attack us along our borders, try to spread propaganda in our country and your own country to turn both our peoples against our government, and now you expect us to help you? No way. You wanted to mess with us. Now you're on your own.

 

[Israelite9191]

Kamilian- Thank you, I some how missed the paragraph when reading the update. I am going to edit my orders acordingly.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

From: Malaysia
To: Perth

Afther a long council, we have decided that the growth of Nihon must be stopped. Their invasion of the mainland shows signs of making them unstoppable. We must attack them soon, and if not destroy them, push them back to their homeland of the Japanese islands.
If you accept, reply and we will reveal more of our plan.
