Republic Nations Conflict RP (RN Only)

[Brotossia]

The Republic Nations is suffering international strife as old rivalries reignite and nations take sides.

Three alliances are currently at war, with the Coalition and Allies teaming up against the Imperium.

Allies:
Ism
New Joshinia
BOUGHEYIA
New-Netherealm, non-violent

Coalition:
Avalon Astronautics Alliance
Universal Socialism
Anterina

Imperium:
Vexus Imperium

Neutral:
Kiwination
Brotossia
Eltandis
Deltany, at war with Zargabad
Zargabad

[Brotossia]

Brotossia will remain neutral in this conflict but will enforce the international Hanagla War Laws as the Delegate of the Republic Nations.

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

Avalon Astronautics has allied with Geats. And has become a member of the Imperium. We have a very strong Air & Space Force, with spy satellites, a military space station, & several research & exploration craft in orbit. We have salvaged the fissionable materials from nuclear warheads given to us by Geats to be used in Pulse Units for Nuclear Pulse Propulsion, as well as Nuclear Thermal Rockets. We ask all nations, ally with us & Geats.

-Commander in Chief/CEO Toth

[Universal Socialism]

The Socialist government has announced the activation of the conflict crisis protocol, and is working with allies to establish a DMZ and economically isolate non-cooperative nations. We condemn the Astronautics Alliance for their threats to actively use WMDs to gain advantage in what should be conventional conflict.

[Terra bellum]

Terra Bellum National News Weekly wrap up
King Edwards, of the Grand Kingdom of Terra Bellum, is neutral in the actual conflict. Although the king has announced that the kingdom will now be funding and selling weapons exclusively to geats and his allies. The Grand Kingdom supports the action the geats have taken and agree with finding solution through warfare. King Edwards has shown his strong dislike for The Socialist Government and their actions of sanctions and military exercises he has conducted as a fear tatic to scare the king out of supporting war. The king has also has gone back and forth with the premier resombol of eltandis insulting eachother. The king has gone as far as calling eltandis a socialist third world country.

[Geats]

Due to the vast amounts of preparations and coordinations for war, Primarch Tizerugui has failed to announce on the RP for quite some time. A statement was just released that Primarch Tizerugui will release major documents and give a majore speech tomorrow. Those interested should stay tuned in the afternoon. Full coverage will be covered by AirGeats: a government sponsored company.


Telegram from Herot, Geats

[Ism]

The Conclave strongly supports a peaceful resolution of the crisis at hand. Nevertheless, Imperium forces have shown a warmongering attitude and an unwillingness to seek peace. As such, Ism stands in support of Bougheyian sovereignty, which will be defended by any conventional means necessary. Furthermore, the Conclave condemns the use of weapons of mass destruction, as suggested by Primarch Tizerugui of Geats. The Ismite military forces have been readied, to ensure the defense of Ism and her allies in the all too likely event of a surprise attack. These forces will not, I repeat, will not, initiate conflict with any nation, but will defend themselves, their homeland, and the lands of Ism's allies. Additionally, due to King Edwards recent decisions, the Kingdom of Terra Bellum has been the target of an embargo by Ism, and Ism encourages its allies and all nations interested in peace in following suit. While the Conclave was unwilling to condemn Terra Bellum's profiteering, fully understanding the utility of such a practice, their king's recent decision to support exclusively the Imperium, while refusing to actually fight with them, is seen as an act of the most depraved cowardice, and is something this esteemed body cannot condone. The Conclave once again issues its support of peace, but is prepared to defend itself and its allies.

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

The Socialist government has announced the activation of the conflict crisis protocol, and is working with allies to establish a DMZ and economically isolate non-cooperative nations. We condemn the Astronautics Alliance for their threats to actively use WMDs to gain advantage in what should be conventional conflict.

We have not threatened to use WMD's at all, what we were saying in our first message was that we have taken the fissionable materials from nuclear weaponry & are using it in nuclear thermal rockets, which use a nuclear reactor to heat up rocket fuel much more efficiently than combustion, & nuclear pulse propulsion, a.k.a. how to nuke your own spaceship with tiny atom bombs without blowing it up or heavily irradiating it, both of those are peaceful uses of former nuclear weaponry &, in order to produce zero fallout, shall be launched into space with chemical combustion rockets before being used. We abhor the use of WMDs, which can have devastating effects on the environment & can be replaced with much better substitutes such as large conventional explosives & kinetic weaponry & asteroids from space. We will be angry if any nation, enemy, neutral, or even ally, threatens to use WMD's

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

We at Avalon Astronautics have decided to mostly stay out of the coming conflict. This does not mean we don't support a side! We still support Geats & are still part of the Imperium. The main reason for this change is that we have seen that some nations, & we are not saying whom, have shown their willingness to use WMD's. In order to help prevent this, we will take a large portion of our satellites, most of which already have Nuclear blast & missile launch detectors, & place them in strategic locations so that we will be able to scan most of the world. Due to us having many more satellites under construction, we are stopping the construction until we can scan for chemical & biological weaponry, which are very tricky.

-CEO Toth

[Deltany]

The Deltanian Ministry pushes for the classification of Purposefully-Redirect Asteroids, as well as Kinetic Weaponry, utilizing projectiles exceeding 900kg, as Weapons of Mass Destruction, due to their well-known destructive power. An Asteroid or Kinetic Projectile of 900kg or more (roughly equal to a small car), are capable of causing devastation over significant areas. The Destructive calabilities of such weapons easily meet common standards for WMDs.

Avalon Astronautics has discussed this with themselves, & we agree that any kinetic weaponry that is over 900kg after reentry, which can destroy a large fraction of the mass of whatever is coming in, especially asteroids, should be classified as WMD's.

-CEO Toth

[Brotossia]

Now that the region has voted, Brotossia offers to host the meeting for the second war laws which will reinforce the Hanagla Conventions.

Brotossia proposes that a definition and list for WMDs is created and that all WMDs will be banned. Once this list or definition becomes outdated we will have another convention to update it.

Massive actions against civilian populations, such as genocide and destruction of settlements, should be considered crimes against humanity and have consequences such as sanctions.

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

We at Avalon Astronautics Alliance agree. We also volunteer to use our satellites to detect NBC weaponry, & ballistic missile launches.

-CEO Toth

[Kiwination]

We of Kiwination volunteer to use our satellites to detect NBC weaponry as well alongside the Avalon Astronautics Alliance.

On another note, Kiwination will be continuing its efforts in sending humanitarian aid to afflicted areas and refugee aid. As such, we will be remaining neutral in the coming conflicts, and would like to offer our forces to set up a Demilitarized Zone if conflict crisis protocols go into effect.

We also plan to be in attendance in Brotossia for meetings regarding war laws. I hope to see many of you in attendance.

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

Avalon Astronautics, although supporting Geats in spirit, would like everyone to know that, in all other intents & purposes, we are neutral. We will assist Kiwination in sending humanitarian aid, & will leave using aircraft for transport to them (somewhat), we will use our spacecraft to send emergency supplies to remote areas. If we are threatened by anyone, we will immediately consider them an enemy, if they begin to actually carry out said threats, we will not hesitate to do anything, short of WMD's, to stop those threats.

-CEO Toth

[Bougheyia]

The Bougheyian military has been prepped and mobilized in the means of defense of our sovereignty. Assuming any Bougheyian asset is attacked we will engage the offending nation. Bougheyian troops have also been redeployed to Zargabad to defend Bougheyian resources in the nation.

[Eastern American Republic]

The Eastern American Republic has shown its support for the Imperium, as we feel Bougheyia and his allies New Joshinia, and Ism are threats to the survival of our way of life. Bougheyian troops being redeployed to Zargabad is proof of this. As he recently was put under the protection of The Imperium. This is a blatant invasion.

[Deltany]

Bougheyian troops being redeployed to Zargabad is proof of this. As he recently was put under the protection of The Imperium. This is a blatant invasion.

Zargabad has repeatedly stated their good standing with Bougheyia, along with recent intervention in Zargabad by Bougheyia.

The Vexus Imperium merely stating that Zargabad is "under their protection", does not make Zargabad a Protectorate of theirs.

[Brotossia]

Brotossia proposes that large convenientional bombs that can cause mass destruction at such a large size should be considered WMDs and that the weaponization of asteroids should be illegal due to the effects an asteroid can have on the entire region when used as a weapon.

[Vexus Imperium]

Zargabad has repeatedly stated their good standing with Bougheyia, along with recent intervention in Zargabad by Bougheyia.

The Vexus Imperium merely stating that Zargabad is "under their protection", does not make Zargabad a Protectorate of theirs.

Zargabad is under a contract with the Imperium, stating that we can use his nation as a staging area for our forces. Him allowing Bougheyian troops to redeploy into the region show that he is furthering this conflict. Had he spoken to us before allowing the Bougheyian's in we would've gladly moved our men out for the time being as to help ease tensions. However, due to this blatant disrespect we will maintain our forces in Zargabad. We merely hope Bougheyia is willing to cooperate with us.

It seems that the weaponization of asteroids is something a lot of others will not accept. So instead, we propose that weaponized asteroids larger than 10 meters in diameter be classified as WMD's. We also will not have as many asteroids in the future, those were just inaccurate interim solutions until we could start full scale production of Kinetic Penetration Rods. We are also set to begin testing of Nuclear Pulse Propulsion, with our first ground launch of a small, unmanned craft within 1 week. We also going to be testing a NERVA-Style Nuclear Thermal Rocket tomorrow. We hope that these will start a new chapter in space exploration, as well as military spaceflight.

-CEO Toth

[Ism]

The Conclave fully supports the measures proposed by Brotossia and Deltany, and encourage all potential belligerents to take part in the process of establishing rules regarding WMDs and their usage. Ism will not accept ignorance of such rules as an excuse in the undesirable scenario of war, and will expect all nations to comport themselves to the rules that will be established. Furthermore, regarding the alleged contract between Zargabad and the Imperium, the Conclave requests this alleged document be made public, so as to resolve the issues revolving around Zargabad's alleged attempts to spur the war forward. Additionally, it is the opinion of the Conclave that the AAA's suggestion has merit, and is willing to allow the use of weaponized asteroids with a diameter no greater than ten meters, so long as they are used responsibly, in ways that will not harm civilian populations more than conventional arms, if used responsibly, would.

[Deltany]

Zargabad is under a contract with the Imperium, stating that we can use his nation as a staging area for our forces. Him allowing Bougheyian troops to redeploy into the region show that he is furthering this conflict. Had he spoken to us before allowing the Bougheyian's in we would've gladly moved our men out for the time being as to help ease tensions. However, due to this blatant disrespect we will maintain our forces in Zargabad. We merely hope Bougheyia is willing to cooperate with us.

The Deltanian Ministry concurs with Ism, in that the contents of this 'contract' be made public. Additionally, it falls to Zargabad to confirm these allegations.

we propose that weaponized asteroids larger than 10 meters in diameter be classified as WMD's.

The size is of little relevance, if the density is sufficient. The impact of kinetic weaponry and asteroids and the like, is determined by mass and speed. It is our estimation that an object of 500kg would be a sufficient equivalent to modern conventional weaponry. Our proposal is thus,

-Kinetic Weaponry (Defined as a mechanism to release a non-explosive projectile primarily propelled by a planet's gravity and it's innitial thrust, with the intent of causing destructive impact.) in use of Munitions with a mass greater than 500 Kilograms, be declared a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
-Asteroid Projection (Defined as the targeted redirection of asteroids or other similar celestial bodies, with the intent of causing a destructive impact.) in use of celestial bodies greater than 500 Kilograms in mass, be declared a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Brotossia fully agrees with this statement and will be sure to add it to the Brotoss Conventions.

[Avalon Astronautics Alliance]

We at Avalon Astronautics Alliance will begin fielding Kinetic Bombardment Rods in two sizes, 500.1Kg & 501Kg.
