"As you are" RP news, politics, espionage, and trade

I'm neutral and thinking about making a temporary alliance of neutral nations that works with both sides to get protection so no attacks neutrals.

Breaking, Xenick suspected to be gearing for strike against Ukrainian rebel forces
Xenickese forces have reportedly undergone partial mobilization, following the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, and the Xenickese gov has seemingly thrown it's support behind Lyrovian interests in the region, with anti-communist whistleblowers revealing the transporting of drones, heavy weaponry, and weapons technology to improve Lytrovian fighting efficiency. When asked to make a statement on anonymous submarine attacks off the coast of Ukraine, president Bob Bobbo Xenick denied responsibility, stating that Xenickian armed intervention was just a rumor, and that the mobilizing was to defend in this time of hightened tensions.

Xenickese domestic government popularity has skyrocketed after it helped defeat fascist forces in Meretica, and has since pledged to combat fascism, it's supporters, and to aid recovering nuclear strike victims after an official order sent 40 tons of PPE, and 100 government medical workers to the stricken city, leading to a positive PR expereince in the region. John donald on the ground views this has been necessary to cover it's media hide, and another act to protect it's public opinion followed, when Xenick stated that it was open to a denuclearization treaty. "While these acts are certainly worthwhile and positive, we can never let the govenrment of the hook for suspected wrongdoing, and as citizens, it is our democratic duty to ask questions."
This has been XNN reporting.

[Meretica]

Meretica formally invites all democratic nations to join the Restoration Alliance.

We strongly suggest that you distance yourself from the UDAF. We however, will be willing to fund your government, as well as pay extra for any of it's exports. You can be close economic partners with Xenick, and our only condition is you help aid democracy, and oppose yourself from the UDAf.

Meretica is not currently in a position, economically nor politically, where it can distance itself from the UDAF.

If a treaty or Alliance with the UDAF is ratified, than Xencik will restrict trade with Meretica.

I am a member of the UDAF. Several members of the UDAF have positioned peace-keeping forces in Meretica, supported the use of financial aid, or both. A majority of members motioned to send additional economic and financial aid to Meretica. Meretica is confident that the UDAF is competent.

The IHS feels insulted, and won't prioritise Meretican products unless something is done soon.

[Vikanias]

Waffen SS DIvison Meretica begin their internet campaing of mocking the trials but are quickly shot down by the “parental” Waffen SS who fear Lakan government reaction being too harsh. However, Lavinia and her cabinet simply issue no comment and as such the campgain continues.

A bunch of seal hackers mock the Waffen SS for sounding a lot like waffles and being stupid for mocking trials of war criminals. With online gaining lots of attention, even the government called it “funny meme”

Since you are adamant that you are aligned with the USAF, Xencikese priority on Meretica exports and the additional fees paid voluntarily by Xenick will also cease in all entirety.

With the Crimean conflict slowly calming down, Lytrovia is able to provide a company of 75 Coast Guard marines, in order to train Meretica's navy, should they require it. Humanitarian aid for citizens who are victims of the war will also be provided.

Meretica accepts this help but does not believe that military action is necessary at this time. Meretica also emphasizes that unless there is a major change in government policy (e.g. in the upcoming elections) then Meretica will not be the first to strike.

Speaking of the Meretican elections, President Freedom Williams has again confirmed that she will not serve another term as president and will be stepping out of the Imperial Senate due to a family member's failing health. Her final official act was to revise Meretican law so that non-Senators may serve as president. Furthermore, she has endorsed the UDAF Representative, Grand Duchess Rachel Ross, an independent.

Polls indicate that the Loyal Fedrilicans are expected to lose many seats to independents, Communists, Free-silvers, and Republicans (a new center-right party with close ties to the Traditionalists). The Republicans are currently led by former Traditionalist Hepzibah Johnson, a presidential hopeful. Johnson, 76, is extremely popular as she is a socially conservative, economically liberal senator. Currently, the polls are thus:

Ross, Independent - 33%
Johnson, Republican - 29%
McPhee, Communist - 26%
Peterson, Free-silver - 7%
Other - 5%

[Meretica]

Meretica announces that it has completed rebuilding the rural areas and begins focusing on the suburbs and smaller urban cities. With the rural areas now finished, the agricultural sector is booming and Meretica can now return to selling food on the market. Additionally, they ramp up eco-friendly mining efforts and start restoring several major projects, mainly hydroelectric dams and solar facilities.

Since you have not changed your opinion, the threats have been turned into actions. Mereticna goods have stopped going for more than their normal value, and many ships en route to Meretica have changed course to Lytrovia. However, a full trade embargo has not been signed.

Southern Xenick, we are very close allies, but if you begin to attack UDAF soldiers then we will have no choice but to cut off relations.

We never stated we had made any moves against UDAF forces, and we actually bore the brunt of the fighting for UDAF Nytoan forces in the northward push.

Meretica shrugs this off and continues to operate as normal. Says Grand Duchess Ross:

"Meretica cannot, and will not, be forced to act against its moral and ethical values over petty statements issued by foreign nations. We will stand by our allies, just as I trust that they shall stand by us. Meretica, when united, is strong and can overcome any obstacle. Mereticans are united in this decision, and united we shall remain."

Unfortunately unitary government does not stop the coming economic consequences of the loss of Xenickian cash, petrol, and governmental support.
