The continental blockade (MT/INVITE ONLY/OOC)

[Ardoki]

You don't know how many assignments and exams I have over the next few weeks.

Posing on Setz takes far less time than planning and then partaking in a massive RP. That isn't such a complex thing to understand.

[Ardoki]

Hi everyone, I'm willing to discuss the Thuas... thing. I just have a few more assignment and exams next week, and then final exams later on in the semester.

I'll have free time after that, before I go on holiday (as in going away).

[Ardoki]

What do you want in exchange for an end to the blockade?
- Apologies?
- Trials?
- Regime change?

We have already been over this...

The Proclamation of the Grand Coalition, which I'm assuming is the most official document, doesn't have any real demands our government can respond to. I would like an official document from the Grand Coalition, which outlines exactly what they want.

I remember coming to what I thought of as a satisfactory agreement with you; however, several involved nations were not content with that and each made additional demands.

[Inyourfaceistan]

Okay, here is what (I assume) we are working with in terms of an OOC agreement:

- Ardoki hands over Raghnall Sloane and at least 25 unnamed officials (politicians, military leaders, scientists, ect.) responsible for genocides, tolerance camps, human medical/biowarfare experimentation, political executions, etc. to Inyursta
- Ardoki grants Thaus independence (OOC control given to SACTO)

- Inyursta and other SACTO nations call off the blockade, leave Ardokian shipping lanes open, and don't invade the Ardokian mainland (unless some crazy shit goes down)
- Inyursta hands back most of the PoW's captured in Lebanon

This agreement doesn't expect or enforce:

- A change of Ardoki's government or constitution
- Moriarty, O'Brien, Jakeman, or any other important named character of Ardoki's to be handed over
- Any foreign or SACTO control or influence of Ardokian government or sovereignty

- Inyursta or SACTO to stop covert support of NAFF rebels
- Inyursta or SACTO to automatically* normalize relations with Ardoki or automatically* engage in friendly actions with Ardoki (Of course if Ardoki shows serious legitimate reform and other policy changes encouraging such relations)

---

In order to satiate everyone else involved I agreed to turn over some of the war criminals to each nation I got to agree, which was pretty much every major power involved

I must admit that this is a landmark agreement.

[Ardoki]

Okay.

What are the conditions regarding Thaus...?

[New Aeyariss]

I think perhaps an one time financial tribute and an official kowtow from Ardokian leadership would do for me.

Please note that it won't affect Ardokian ability to govern itself.

[Ardoki]

Okay, so things haven't changed.

Coming up with individual treaties with every nation involved is unrealistic; each successive nation will obviously demand more than was offered in the previous treaty (we can't give less now that we've already made an agreement, and there is no point in them offering the exact same terms). Even if I conclude a treaty with every nation involved but one, I'm still no better than there being not a single treaty signed as the blockade is still on.

[Shazbotdom]

The only thing that I'd OOCly demand is for Moriarty to never lead the nation again.

[Ardoki]

If you want Moriarty and his cronies out of power, permanently, how much are you willing to pay? I'm sure there are many in the government, civil service, military, and so on who would consider a regime change if you offered Ardoki enough.

Can Alistaire Moriarty be extradited to Nihon? And if the pay is financial there is lots to be discussed here...

Must be at least 1 quadrillion NSD.

A pretender to the Ardokian throne already has 100 trillion NSD.

30 billion in gold for people who deliver Alistaire Moriarty to Ishikawa, 40 billion if he will be alive. I won't give more because I can stage a hit on him like I did with Mawani by myself for far cheaper costs. He isn't worth more to Maki Kojiro. Ardokian monarch may have more money, but his officials - do not.

2 quadrillion to the Ardokian claimant then; the price will only get higher.

You want to see if you can stop similar hit as the one who befallen on Mawani? It is either taking the money or taking the fist, Ardoki.

I wonder how you will be able to stop it...

You don't want to try anything like that, there would be an automatic (in that it is automated and cannot be manually overridden) nuclear response (similar to the Dead Hand, though much more advanced).

We only accept money.

Hmm can you tell me how this system works?

Guess in such case it is time to take advantage of the chaos on Ardokian markets and destroy Ardokian currency.

I will have to write it down first, so I may gather my thoughts and make sure everything is as efficient as possible. However, it is similar to the Dead Hand (though it is always on by default, and is triggered if contact is lost with commands (such as government headquarters, Party headquarters, military high command, etcetera) or if an attack is detected (this is determined through various means, including numerous types of sensors in and around key points of interests (such as major cities, silos, military basses, etcetera)). The goal of a system is to deter any attack, as full retaliatory capability is guaranteed even if a decapitation strike is somehow successful and even limited strikes would cause an automatic full retaliation from the system.

That would just give an excuse for the ASDLP to nationalise the entire economy. Besides, our government already manipulates the economy and currency, they'll just continue this trend.

So you are saying to me that there is no presence of Ardoki on foreign markets?

Apparently, Ardoki is under embargoes by the IFC and the SACTO; so I probably won't be trading with them. I haven't interacted much with other nations, so I can't say there is Ardokian presence in their markets (as only they can decide that).

If Toolsbergia was still around, I'd probably be trading a lot with him.

So it looks like Ardoki is economically a North Korea, or Ardokian economy is crumbling already !

I thought that it was already established that Ardoki was a pariah state.

[Inyourfaceistan]

Okay.

What are the conditions regarding Thaus...?

OOC'ly SACTO will have control of the account, IC'ly it will be fully independent.
