The World Turned Upside Down

Excellent update, EQ! Yay, Switzerland is going to modernize! :O
 
OOC: I'm basing basing off my knowledge of Albanian religiosity from this Wiki article, which says Albanians are traditionally pragmatic when it comes to religion.

From: The Prime Minister of Greece
To: The Albanian people

The leaders of the separatist rebellion are in the hills now, running from the mighty arms of the Greek government and our friends, the Russian liberators. Albanians are now free to enter Greece and likewise, as there is no longer any dividing factor between us.

After much thought, it has been decided that you, as members of the Greek state, will receive near-complete autonomy in regional affairs and little interference from the Greek Orthodox Church, so long as you recognize the authority of the Greek government and constitution as above over your own. This means that you will reject the concept of "Dar-al-Islam," or any other reason for you must break off from us again.

I believe we are already generous with the liberties we give you; there is no need for division when we can have strength in unity. Let us not let petty squabbles bring us down and further.

Remember: "Freedom or death."

If you mean to declare war on us, know that we have the blessings of the Honorable Tsar of Russia and his friends to protect us from your kind.

We are always ready for talking. Communist sentiment lacks strength here in Greece. As of now we cannot take action against an absent foe or, in this case, an ideology without supporters.

To: Greece

Yes, this is understandable. We understand because besides our suffering from the plague of Communism, we are both terrorized by the radical elements of Islam.

@eq, how much do the Turks dislike me? More or less than the rest of Russia?
 
@Azale, everyone south of Kiev hates you. THis includes Ukraines, Georgians, Khazaks, Turkestanis, Turks, and Mongols among others. In addition most people NORTH of Kiev dislike you, including Finns, Byelorus, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and Poles. So to answer your questions, yes, the Turks do hate you, about the same as everyone else.
 
Good, oppression all around then.
 
When is the next update gonna be you think EQ?
 
Why would I have to disband 4 divisions of infantry to train 1 division of militia into regulars? Are militia divisions considerably smaller than regular divisions?
 
He means that you can disband 4 militia divisions to get 1 division of regular infantry.
 
Chinese Empress gets married

Yep... His name's Longwang. BOAM SHOCKUH LOCKUH! They have a kid boy who's name is "Simawang".

Private Sector grows

Another true story from Beijing. After the death of the late emperor, the Empress recieved the "imperial powers". These "powers" are really the Empress issuing statements and laws that are to the benefit of her ministers.

One such minister, "Amon Wei" has incredible amounts of sway within the imperial court. While he is devotedly loyal to China and to the Empress, he sees some things wrong with the route at which China is going and persuaded the empress to fund the private sector with resources currently used in the military. This minister is also the one who set up the marriage between Empress Longyu and Longwang of Pyongyang.

Communism will be suppressed

The empress and her new husband swears on it.

Democracy will be suppressed

The empress and her new husband swears on it.

Death to the communists. Death to those who would put freedom over national defense. All who want to destroy china from the inside will die. So says the Empress... European barbarians in Indochina suck.

EDIT- Global oppinion can kiss China's little yellow ass
 
italy would like to remind the world why not to vote for resoltuion 02-11 which states

It would also protect third party merchants in times of war from being captured or sunk for no other reason then they are in the wrong place at the wrong time

In otherwords blockades will no longer become an effective tool of war; any ship wqishing to cross a blockade will be protected under international law. I ask the united States how it would feel if it went to war, enacted a blockade, only to see every ship come in and out simply because it doesnt fly the colors of a nation at war. I can not see how 11 nations have seriously considered this to be enacted, it is as foolhardy as a worldwide currency, or abolition of trade tariffs as previously shot down by super majority.
 
It does not say let them through, it says do not destroy. YOu can always turn them back.
 
Switzerland would like to encourage all the abstaining countries to support Resolution 002-11!

Freedom of the seas is of paramount importance to the Swiss. We would like our neutrality to be respected at all times, and this is an important step toward a progressive world where individual freedom will remain of principal importance.
 
It does not say let them through, it says do not destroy. YOu can always turn them back.

How can you force them to turn back if you can neither fire upon, nor board said ship?
 
Few people will continue to a port when faced with an 8 inch naval gun. This resolution is not meant to make blockading illegal; blockading is an ancient and generally bloodless way of defeating an enemy. The resolution is meant to discourage from sea captains from nations at war becoming pirates and attacking, boarding, or sinking any ship they may come across on the open seas. It is also meant to discourage rampant Submarine Warfare from destroying every single freighters it sees on the high seas, but to rather focus on those of its enemy nations.
 
OOC: I see a BIG contradiction between your statement and sig. Blockades are in no way bloodless. Neither are seiges. Would you rather be shot, killing you instantly, or have to suffer along with the rest of your nation starvation and a slow, unstoppable death looming over you?

IC: They would not just be "in the wrong place at the wrong time" if they try blockade running. That violates neutrality.
 
To The Empire of India
From The Boer Republic

We demand some sort of repayment for the oppression that was placed upon our people during the years leading up to the great war. We ask for some sort of repayment whether it be economic or territorial.
 
Eire is concerned about the prospect of making Blockades 'illegal' as it is an effective peaceful tool for applying pressure to nations that arent listening to reason.

While we see no mention of it in the resolution itself we would like some clarification upon the matter, as we are concerned on the specifics.
 
If it was not previously stated, the Holy Russian Empire has voted AGAINST the Resolution 002-11
