I will be deploying an ESG, incorporating one LHD, one LSD, one LPD and a missile destroyer. My EF is a reinforced brigade, plus my SPARTAN assets.

Might send hospital vessels if required.

Last time you told us it was like 1,000km away from Ardoki...

It isn't a threat to Ardoki there, really.

I thought you would love to have weapons in range of Ardoki?

200km isn't really in range of anything meaningful, while its still basically right next door in terms of radar and other intel assets.

[Riysa]

Wait, 200 km? That's a whole different ball game. If you do so, then either your mainland should be open to attack ops (bombing, missile strikes, etc) or you should be barred from using assets on your mainland to assist your island forces.

Seconded! He'll try to sneak land based ASham batteries on his cost and attempt to sink our fleets.

Though we could take them out

Well land-based AShM batteries aren't necessarily my worry...

Land-based fighters, tactical ballistic missiles, and various intel/recon assets are definitely issues we now have to take into account more seriously than before...

Plus it will be easier for him to infinitely funnel assets between the islands and the mainland...

Yeah, I prefer the 1,000 km away from Ardoki thing.

[Krjder]

Seeing the amount of petrol he's gonna need for all those motorised divisions, cutting short his fuel supplies wouldn't be a bad idea..

Going with Cuscy's idea - It is suppose to be like Taiwan - Where the former nobility fled and set up an independent state (with foreign protection).

I overestimated how far Taiwan was from mainland China, so yeah - It wouldn't really work if there was such a large gap.

It would work just fine...

What won't work is you making the islands 200km from your shores and expecting us to be cool with it.

Okay. It'll go back to a thousand kilometres.

But I'll have to lower the land area, population and remove the oil fields - Otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

I'll also remove my soldiers from it.

What?
What are you talking about?

How would it's distance affect any of those factors?

We only claim natural resources up to 500 kilometres from our coast.
Plus the greater distance would mean a lot less people would be able to flee the mainland to the archipelago - Thus it needn't be so large.

[United States of Conner]

Maybe we compromise and put it at 500km? We kinda need Ardokian troops on it.

Exclusively claiming is one thing, but there's no reason not to covet the land of other areas outside your nation, especially if its owned by enemies o the state. It doesn't need to be just oil either, it could be other resources (timber, food, minerals, etc.).

[Ardoki]

Okay, we can discuss these details later.

The diplomatic conference is already up though: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=351006&p=25669901#p25669901

[Slakonian]

Need a nation not being involved in your alliances and "fights" both... I am IN

To be honest I would prefer to keep it between us and Ardoki .

But the IFC were the first to get involved. They should be allowed at the conference.

No it doesn't...

Well if it's 200 you can count me out because I'm not going to bother trying to destroy every airfield within a 1000km radius so bye...

I think he quoted the wrong text.

Yea, I was addressing Slakonian. Sorry.

Haha I seen the mistake

He could RP the resistance...
