Joint Statement Regarding the Coalition for Anne Frank

During the minor update of Thursday, December 18th 2014, the region Anne Frank was overtaken by fascist and Nazi forces. Since then, a broad military coalition has been working to restore the region and remove the occupying forces. The governments and militaries involved affirm that all sides entered into the mission with the understanding of equal partnership and shared leadership of the mission, shared operational command input, and a common goal of protecting this symbolic region from defacement by fascist and Nazi forces. It is with great pride that we are able to work united toward that common goal. We welcome everyone willing to participate in this effort to join us, which they can do by contacting Eluvatar.

[Authoritarian Democrats]

wish i could join and help out, but my WA is elsewhere right now

much luck is given to those involved on the coalition side, though o/

[Funkadelia]

I'm glad this went the way we had all hoped.

[Wisconsin9]

And that makes two wars the Nazis lost.

[Zenya]

Fantastic working with everyone on this. I feel very honored to have been apart.

[The Red Fleet Admiralty]

The Red Fleet Sailors' Choir presented a rousing rendition of the Jewish folk song "Shalom chaverim" upon the coalition's victory as a congratulations for their success and as a gesture of gratitude for their anti-fascist work.

שלום חברים, שלום חברים
שלום, שלום
להתראות, להתראות
שלום, שלום

Goodbye, my friends
Be safe, my friends
Have peace, have peace
'Til we meet again, 'til we meet again
Have peace, have peace!

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Keep it clean, avoid baiting and any other behavior that would bring down the Wrath of Mod, please. Thanks. Offensive not-to-be-taken-seriously-previous-player content removed, carry on.

[Red and Black Freedom]

I'm glad it went well. I'm happy to have been part of it.

[Pauline Bonaparte]

Thanks to everyone who helped out! You are all truly Right Honorable Gentlepeople.

[Dindrane]

I want to hear how the great TEP and TNP lead a coalition of defenders, imperialist and general all pleasant peoples who joined in.

[Sicarius News Bot]

*cough and Zombie raiders*

[Beta Test]

I am very glad it went successfully and I'm honoured to have been involved. A region such as this should never be attacked like it was and by who it was.

[Solorni]

This was fantastic and it was a great pleasure to be part of this.

[Rifty]

We all agree'd we wouldn't be making a public statement in Gameplay guys - Come on get on the ball

[Tim-Opolis]

Well done, lads. Great unity from all on crushing Nazi!

[The Risen Jaguar Warriors]

Nearly 70 years ago... The Nazis may have destroyed Anne Frank's body...

...But they'll NEVER destroy her spirit...

This is lasting proof of that fact: she lives on, still...

[Shadoke]

As a person who is not a fan of defense runs, I coud not like this one more. Bravo

[McMasterdonia]

Brilliant to see! Well done to all involved - I had told them that it was my birthday and that failure wasn't an option

[Dindrane]

*cough and Zombie raiders*

Nobody saw anything. *Men in black suits drag a guy away in the background* You understand? Zombies do not exist.

[Applebania]

Good show over there. I knew about that raid and thought that it was in enormously bad taste. I've sent a puppet over there, and am endorsing the delegate.

[Das Imperium Lives]

And I didn't meet a single person who could work with me or I could work for.

Bummer, wanted to get back in the game you know... So many targets I see and so many GGR people to one-up.

[The Anne Frank Coalition]

During the major update of Monday, December 22, 2014, a coalition of militaries and players from across NationStates successfully removed the fascist and Nazi forces that had overtaken the region Anne Frank. The coalition included, in alphabetical order: Antifa; E-Army; Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army; Europeian Republican Navy; Founderless Regions Alliance; Fort Triumph Marshal Service; Freedom and Justice Alliance; Jomsvíkings; Korean Peoples Army; Lazarene Liberation Army; North Pacific Army; Rejected Realms Army; Renegade Islands Alliance Special Forces; Royal Kantrian Army; Sekhmet Legion; Sicarius; South Pacific Special Forces; Spiritus Defense Force; Taijitu Citizens’ Militia; The Association of Imperialism; The Communist Bloc; The Internationale; The Leftist Union; The Red Fleet; United Defenders League; United Imperial Armed Forces of The Land of Kings and Emperors, The New Inquisition and Albion; Wintreath Hvitt Riddaral; as well as many players who participated outside of any military affiliation.

During the final update, 50 nations moved into the region. These were in addition to 30 WA nations that were already garrisoned there from previous updates. Following post-update reinforcements, the coalition deployed a remarkable total of more than 110 endorsements on the lead nation. Subsequently, the region was password-protected and returned to its original residents.

All participating militaries acknowledge the operation as a powerful demonstration of interregional cooperation against the forceful spread of fascism and Nazism in NationStates. The participating militaries are elated to have put their differences aside and worked together in this operation.

DAMN NEAR EVERYONE.

[Xoriet]

DAMN NEAR EVERYONE.

The spirit of cooperation, naturally. Foiling Nazi occupations (for whatever motive) > personal/ideological differences by everyone who isn't a NS Nazi player.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

And here's me thinking I'd never ever see Sicarius in the same list of participating regions as FTMS, FRA, UDL, SDF...
