MINISTRY OF DEFENSE PRESS RELEASE
PRIORITY:IMMEDIATE
At 1700 Hours the Ministry of Defense received a call from the Office of the Military Governor of the Occupation Zone of Damoclea. The Judicial Front had engaged in protest, when Governor McKellon attempted to engage the demonstrators in negation when an assassin fired upon him and the cleric who was leading. The Public Order officers of the Royal Constabulary that were deployed subdued the assassin with less lethal weaponry and asked to see the assassin. Upon the refusal of the request by the JF, the Constabulary officers did not engage, the fact that the Police wished to engage in investigation of the death of the Cleric and the examination of the assassin and his medical treatment would be the first steps in that.
At least 30 Insurgents are reported dead and 10 Security Forces members.

An Army Marches on Its Stomach
-Napoleon Bonaparte
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
-It is the firm intention of the Crown of McNernia to establish a independent state in the McNernian Occupation Zone
-The apparent integration of the Malacanoi zone into the Malacanoi state would indicate that would be an acceptable practice.
Colonies of the McNernian Empire Enjoy:
-Right to draft a charter of government
-High Commissions with the Colonial and Dominion Affairs Ministry
-Right to conclude regional trade deals with Crown and government permission
-Dominions are fully independent states that can conclude treaties of trade with other powers, His Majesty must review declarations of war or a Governor-General as HRM Representative.
It is the Duty of Dominions and Colonies to provide troops to the Empire upon request or upon the declaration of need by the Ministry of Defense in Griffindon. If the Dominion House of Commons and Senate both disapprove of the request then the Dominion need not provide troops.
One must go from Colony to Dominion, and that is done at the discretion of parliament if the colony is loyal, Damoclea is not loyal. Therefore it cannot have independance. Sooner or later once the conditions of loyalty and stability can be met then the Crown will grant independence.
Steps to Independence and Reunification:
-Lay down of arms by the Judicial Front
-McNernian Forces granting of Amnesty
-Formation of Damoclean Government
-Mcnernian Forces train Damoclean Law Enforcement and Defense Forces
-Referendum on Union with the rest of Damoclea can then be held.
If you have questions please contact the Governors

THE FINEBERG TIMES
CITY FINAL SATURDAY APRIL 05, 2014
Edenists Arrested by McNernian Police!ASKLEPION, McNernian Occupied Damoclea- McNernian Police arrested hundreds of people protesting the McNernian occupation of Southern Damoclea, protesting naked, wearing the words "Justice For All" in body paint or the Damoclean national colors painted on their bodies.
Edenism as well as Christianity is on the rise in much of Damclea, but according to activists is more due to the mercy, generosity and kindness of the New Edomite occupation, the fair and firm hand of General Adam Nicanor, than to the McNernians, who seem to have found ways to offend yet more people over the last year.
Organizers estimated 1,000 people protested and said several hundred agreed to risk arrest by refusing to leave the sidewalk in front of the Governor’s residence.
"If they want us to stop being angry, they’d better set a timetable for leaving this occupation zone,” said one masked but nude protestor, shaking a sign reading “Justice Now!”
“It is shocking to see a supposedly civilized nation using force of arms to shut down lawful protest and political process,” said a representative from the Undersecretariat for Pythonian Affairs. “Intervention in the form of offered mediation is on the table, but it may have gone too far for that. McNernian opposition to our own government makes proceeding with that difficult.”
“Our future is on the line, our lives are on the line. If they have any sense of humanity, they’ll let this people go!” proclaimed one Edenist priest, making the sign of the cross. “It is written: the judgements of the LORD are altogether righteous.”
The Interim Government in Fineberg has apparently been ‘deluged’ with letters and protests that have begun gathering outside the McNernian embassy. There are voices raised in question as to what the Interim Government intends to do about the mistreatment of fellow Edenists abroad.

Times of Griffindon
Is Damoclea Really Worth It?
Sunday April 16 2014
Griffindon- The political situation in McNernia over the past few years has not been very good, we elected Brian Tyler on the promise of stability and now we have had wars alongside the New Edomites and then we turn on them due to pressure in Parliament and open relations with the Norvenians. But still the Edenist way persists, the massacre of McNernian Edenists has been investigated and the discovery of Anarcho-Syndicalist symbology was a clear sign to the Security Forces that the Anarchist movement spawned in New Edom is not dead yet. The Edenist movement has been considered "Politicall Suspect" in the words of a Ministry of the Interior spokeswoman. The fact that it is on the rise in Damoclea would indicate the lack of authority of the McNernian Military Government or the infiltration of New Edomite agents.
The justification of the colonization process of the Occupation Zone comes from the appearent decision of the Malacanoi to engage in the process of creating a Damoclean province within their country. "The intentions of the Empire cnanot go forward without the laying down of arms by the DJF", Damoclean Judicial Front in the words of Admiral David Peltwright the new Military Governor after McKellons resignation due to his injuries, he insists. The McNernian Empire intends to leave, we would like Damoclea to be more peaceable so we have Security Forces there. If the violence ceases we can bring McKellon in to negotiate. Edenism is a sign of the potential for New Edomite Imperialism.

SUB:Mediation in Damoclea

It is not clear what your government is apologizing for, since there appears to be little change in actual policy, therefore it must be admitted that your government's good will is regarded with some wariness.
However we are a Christian nation and willing to let bygones be bygones. However surely forgiveness is one thing, repentance and reconciliation another.
In light of this, we have the following proposals.
1. An announced withdrawal of McNernian forces from Southern Damoclea, to be replaced by New Edomite forces.
2. Discussion of a plan for the independence of Southern Damoclea to be undertaken by New Edomite officials with Damoclean representatives of that region of Southern Damoclea.
3. Mediation of cessation of hostilities and acts of sabotage by the Damoclean independence groups in Southern Damoclea.
4. Mediation of the relaxation of martial law by McNernian forces in Southern Damoclea.
Please advise if these terms are agreeable.

We are apologizing for the levying of sanctions. We realize that it was a rash and perhaps stupid decision that was rushed and quite rash in regards to Gloria Regis. None the less HM Government shall not allow people to dicate the policy of this Government unless they be a McNernian citizen or a Member of Parliament or Lord. The Proposals put forward to this government were debated in Parliament today and they were considered by the Colonial and Dominion and Foreign Affairs committees. And both committees have drafted something similar.
1.Ceasefire between HMAFM and DJF meditated via representatives of the Allied States.
2.Announcement of Withdraw by HMAFM.
3. Permanent Negotiations for a peace between McNernia and Damoclean movements.
4.McNernia-Edomite and Damoclean discussion about independence and formation of a Government.
5.Replacement of HMAFM in Southern Damoclea with a Joint command of Edomite and Lyscanian and Posidonian and Arbites and Malcanoi soldiers.
None the less there have been serious protests here in McNernia that have taken place outside of Parliament and the New Edomite embassy by Labor party members and members of the MNU, the McNernian Nationalist Union a far-right coalition.
The flash point of this whole affair was the murder of Farther Benedict and the rendering Comatose of Field Marshal Ian McKellon ,Military Governor who engaged with father Benedict when an assassin presumably Damoclean fired shots from a submachine gun and killed Father Benedict and wounded the Governor. He was then apparently shot with a tazer round and was wearing something like a suicide vest because a bang sounded and he lay inert. No McNernian Royal Constabulary officer present discharged their weapons with lethal munitions.
When the commanding officer on scene attempted to request the handover of the subject to commence an investigation the mood changed and the crowd become openly hostile. And as such the Royal Constabulary was compelled to disperse them and armed subversives and opened fire on riot officers, LRADs and Water cannons were used.
We must also note the apparent annexation by the Malcanoi and the creation of a Damoclean Free State, the deployment by yourselves of Damoclean soldiers at your discretion for the protection of New Edomite interests.

The whole occupation of Damoclea was done out of pride, people want this country to be respected and to be feared and such, to be a lion on the world stage, we know we are not that big. We have an empire, colonies and that would turn the Norvenians away, our people belive in freedom and speaking your mind and such. We belive in Monarchy and Capitalism and yet greed holds humans back from being greater. We sent people into space and to the moon, we have probes round Mars.

Mr. Prime Minister,
You need to make up your mind as the leader of your nation’s elected government. Do you want peace and friendship with New Edom? Do you want us to cooperate with you in Hutanjia? Or do you want constant strife? If your nation is a great empire, then it ought to act like one.
If you want friendship, there must be a full retraction of all embargoes, sanctions and an open discussion of at least the permission to have places of worship for Edenists which are protected by law in your country. Your government says it supports religious freedom, but then does not. Then when our government faces a genuine threat from Anarchist supporting political parties in Gloria Regis—your government sides with them, even though they assassinated a government official and barricaded the streets against the Army which had come to administer martial law—the same Army which did so without inflicting any civilian casualties or arresting anyone without a warrant following the Damoclean terrorist attacks. Several times you and your King have called for my resignation. What am I to make of your government’s political stance?
It frankly smells and looks of expediency.
I would like to have you consider what I have accomplished since taking power. I have established a universal health care system, rebuilt roads and infrastructure in provinces that were damaged by the 2nd Civil War, established a militia system on a national rather than tribal/religious basis, created the Cornellian Peacekeeping Organization, the Federation of Oil Developing Economies, established three overseas naval bases for the greater security of the Cornellian Empire Region, helped broker a peace between New Othman and Lazodiria, between Deadora/Gavinium Magnus/The Empire of Common Territories. Through my direct negotiations I established peace in Delvian States. I have conquered Damoclea with the help of your country, Lyscania and Arbites.
Yet you back Chancellor Griffiths, a man of mere bombast, who has no accomplishments under his belt. Mr. Prime Minister: I doubt your judgment. If you want friendship, what you must do should be clear in the message sent by my Foreign Ministry.

A joint command is unthinkable; it would create chaos. The situation is already chaotic. What is needed is a single command which will have the power to negotiate, secure and maintain. There is only one force in the Pythonian Region which is capable of this, which has the reputation and the ability, that is the New Edomite Expeditionary Force.
If we are agreed about the other points, I would like to suggest that this be presented to the belligerents as soon as possible, by a joint statement composed through our respective offices.

To the eminent clergy of the Holy Curia of the Imperium of Arbites Materia,
We, the Judicial Front, whatever our religious differences with you, have reason to believe that we share a common cause against the menace that is McNernia. As you know, the McNernians are openly scheming with Norvenia in a plot against yourselves and the Edomites, while also keeping the boot heel of oppression down on our own necks.
They have yet to co-operate with the Allied Occupational Authority or the Federal Council. They for a long time retained a known and unreconstructed Communist, one General Pisistratus, as Deputy Governor and permitted him to handpick his Ethnarchs for the various towns and cities, not to mention other goons and cronies of his. They have denied true justice to the former southern zone, which is now the Christian State of South Damoclea. They have persecuted Edenists, and who knows if they might start persecuting Magi soon as well? Even while supposedly working with the Judges, they hamstrung us at every turn, so that in desperation, we have had no choice but to revolt.
While things are terrible for Damocleans here in the South under McNernian repression, we know that things are better for our countrymen in the East, West, and North. Therefore, we have no aims to upset the balance of power or to forcibly or rapidly recover those zones into a unified Damoclea again. Rather, we seek independence only for South Damoclea, as it has been for so long abused and mistreated by those who were only supposed to supervise the transition back to self-rule. You, along with the Edomites and Malacanoi, have all done a much better job of governing your zones, so we have no complaint with you, nor would we attempt to aid any insurgents that may or may not exist in your zones (frankly, we are not sure why you would even have such, if you did at all).
We understand that your three nations, New Edom, Arbites, and Malacanos have all rebuilt your zones almost from scratch, improving infrastructure, giving jobs to the urban poor, bringing modernization and civilization, law and order to your territories. You are to be commended for this. Nor do we have any issues with the government of the Free Zone of Xanthisea, nor with the Lyscanians in their treatment of the former Marxopolis, now Posidonis. Our issue is with McNernia, and McNernia alone.
Should you opt to recognize this regime and this state, perhaps even assist our cause, we would of course be inclined to deal with you as the lawful authority of your zone for however long you deem that occupation to be necessary. We would naturally seek to have formal diplomatic relations with both the Imperium, New Edom, and Malacanos, as well as Lyscania. We would formally accept the loss of Posidonis as permanent as well. There would be no revanchist moves to reclaim lost territory, whatsoever. Furthermore, we would naturally do a lot of business with FODE and its two members here in Pythonia. Suffice it to say that we would have no part in any embargoes and may be able to help you circumvent more than a few economic sanctions.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
The Judicial Front of the Christian State of South Damoclea

To His Excellency, Brigadier-General Perrin Pahath-Moab:
General,
Allow us to be more forthright and direct than we have been with the Imperium, and frankly cut to the chase. Unlike with the Arbiters, we don't have to summarize things for you, our brother in Christ, as you know full well what is going on. You know how recalcitrant the McNernians have been about co-operating in all things Damoclean with the other occupying powers. You know full well how they have misgoverned this zone, including the persecution of Edenists and other Christians here.
By contrast, a South Damoclea under the rule of the Judicial Front, while it would have a close partnership with the Empire of Common Territories due to mutual interests, would also be inclined to have good trade and political relations with New Edom and the other occupying powers of Damoclea. It would also accept the status quo and not seek to rush any changes to it before the right time. FODE would be a regular source of fuels for us, we would expand trade in other ways, and we would naturally be open to co-operation in other matters of a political and military significance. In short, we would be a reliable friend and partner in the region. Can you say that of McNernia? I thought not.
Frankly, the McNernians are in violation of the occupational accord, anyway. Their rights as a occupying power should be revoked and South Damoclea should be returned to self-rule. We are far readier as a people to take on this responsibility, if for no other reason than we have developed a degree of national identity that doesn't quite exist elsewhere in Damoclea. Naturally, we still have some reconstruction to do, and it won't be easy, but at least we Judges have some notion of what needs to be done and will do it without any fuss, to rebuild the nation on a proper foundation of faith, virtue, honor, law, order, and necessary public services.
Needless to say, but we will not in any way assist any insurgencies that you may or may not have. Such rebels lack the proper cause for revolt that we have here, and quite candidly probably represent die-hard Communists, if anyone at all. Communism is dead in Damoclea and needs to be buried forever, so that the new, Christian Damoclea might be born, at least here in the South.
In case you are wondering, no, we don't plan to burn heretics or any such nonsense. Rather, we will simply follow Christian virtues and principles in organizing our society, so as maintaining a sensible, but not idle or wasteful, welfare state, as well as basic public works, freedom of religion, and naturally freedom to practice nudity if one's conscience demands it. Naturally, there will be very strict punishments for rape and other such despicable practices, though it seems to us that a better fit for South Damoclea in terms of morals is simply to educate and inform rather than prohibit certain practices, and to create tax incentives for marriage and procreation. Divorce should be limited to certain grounds, rather than no-fault, naturally, due to the Biblical sanctions against it and the social disruption that it causes in any state. Churches will be tax-exempt as well.
If this sounds like a policy and a regime that you can recognize and accept, even support, please respond.
In Christ's Name,
The Judicial Front of the Christian State of South Damoclea

To the nations of the world,
Be it known that, today, the 10th of April, 2014, the city and metropolitan area of Xanthisea has become a sovereign city-state, the Free State of Xanthisea, with full independence and sovereignty, and seeks recognition of the same by all nations. The Free State will be a sovereign commonwealth composed of ethnic Damocleans and Jews, with many of the former being Jewish proselytes, and the official religion of Xanthisea shall be Judaism. However, Christians, Muslims, and even heathens are free to practice their faiths without persecution or harassment by the state, under the principles of free exercise and worship.
The Free State of Xanthisea has no claim on the rest of the former nation of Damoclea, nor does it seek to recover any lands. It will not maintain a normal army, but rather a marine corps along with the navy, and an air corps as well, all operating under the supreme command of Admiral Aristocles Levin, as Commander-in-Chief and Ethnarch of Xanthisea. It will also maintain a centralized police for the preservation of law and order.
The Free State of Xanthisea seeks diplomatic relations with all nations, especially those in Pythonia, including South Damoclea. We will seek friendship and commerce with all nations, but entangling alliances with none. Our military forces will be strictly defensive in purpose. We also recognize the Right of Asylum to all Jews seeking refuge from persecution abroad.
Shalom in the name of Hashem,
Admiral Aristocles Levin

Greetings, Mr President
We act as Empires do without upsetting nations and or entities like Norvenia in the course of living our lives, Empires have often gotten a poor reputation in the world today. We want to work with you in Hutanjia and other things and yet we cannot sanction officially genocide or something that appears to be like that. We can leave that by the wayside having recongnized the EIO assassinated the King of New Edom before the Elwe uprising began. We wont hold it against you but that is in the deck.
We must note that the Free Trade extends to Crude oil from New Edom and no further last we checked and under the Communes Act passed by Timothy York my predecessor the Edenists were granted permission to form their own communes and the Militancy Act was repealed before that allowed for the traditional formation of militia among Edenist communities. The fact that Edenists go around naked and form militias has raised some eyebrows, my own Minister of the Interior and heads of the Security Services and several Provincial First Ministers and their Chief Constables have brought to my desk various reports that I find to be quite full of worry.
We understand that the Anarchists are still afield, we do not sanction the activities that they have undertaken for they are surely abominable and unfit for a free society such as those that exist in this world, the external footage from our Consulate-General surveillance systems in Sixington and a report from the Consul-General himself that demonstrators were fired upon in an adjoining street by personell in New Edomite Army uniforms. A review by the Foreign Relations Committees of Commons and Lords has led us to conclude that perhaps General Felicity Romain was a bit overzealous, if the demonstrators threatened the lives of New Edomite soldiers then it is believed that they were well within their rights to engage with all means at their disposal.
The calls for resignation were to suit our purposes, it has been desired that HMAFM have a base in Cornellia and with New Edoms relationship with us we thought we could get a base. And well surely you have heard of debts Mr President, all things have their price and well surely you could guess the price we would enact in light of aid in theory to Gloria Regis. The Joint Intelligence Comitee has come to me after I forwarded to them the talk of Anarchist support among the Communists and Feminists.
I commend you for the foreign policy you have undertaken, I was voted into an office which seems somewhat cursed, Timothy York, the man who immediately preceded me resigned, he did not think that the War in Hutanjia the rising terrorist crisis, a crisis which I must resolve and do it quickly. Also the damn Damoclean problem. The Sanctions Suspension Act of New Edom means that the Sanctions will not be enforced and are effectively withdrawn. All that is not going to happen is the Free Trade Negotiations until withdraw from Gloria Regis is effected.
We back Griffiths because he has a very formidable war machine in his deck, the New Model Army, and so well HMAFM could take them on but there are all kinds of variables my friend.

A joint command could be formed perhaps from Arbites and the Allied States, you would be growing closer in the face of the Commonwealth of Norvenia sending the 1st Global Naval Interdiction Group to the Cornellian Ocean. We belive a coalition command between the two of you would be fine.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE MILITARY GOVERNOR OF DAMOCLEA
The Declaration that the Christian State of Damoclea has reached my desk. Let it be said before God that I have not received any sort of cease and desist order from the other commanders of the various occupation zones and the New Edomites and Malacanoi, they are the ones to blame for setting the damned precedent.
-New Edomite Dispatch of Damoclean soldiers to protect their own interests.
-The integration of the Malacanoi zone as a province of their country.
I like Ian McKellon before me belive that we may still have peace, the hinge that it rests on is the Damoclean Judicial Front stopping violent action against HMAFM, aid cannot flow in a combat zone, when this land is cleansed of violence by two sides coming to the table. A Damoclean fired ten shots from a submachine gun and put peace in jeopardy, killing two men who wanted to come to an accord. If you want someone to blame, blame the MPs in Griffindon who held up deliberations in Committee and on the floor.
I realize now what must be done, I would like to thank the enemy for telling me what I must do, the Christian State of Damoclea must lay down arms first.
Perhaps we could go to Free State of Xanthisea for mediations Damoclea? Ill leave that up to the people.

To whom it may concern,
While we are relieved to hear that you bear us and our allies no ill intent, the possibility of recognition remains under consideration. At present your organization lacks legitimacy in the eyes of the international community, and direct intervention against McNernia would certainly be considered an act of war. Though we remain baffled by McNernia's actions as of late, we are not prepared to shed their blood.
However, if your group could be legitimized in the eyes of the international community, we would be more inclined to expedite the process of recognition. For instance, where did your organization procure the resources to stage the current conflict? If you have a foreign backer, they might be able to boost your initial standing first.

To the nations of Pythonia, Cornellia, and the world itself,
Be it known that I, Spiro Costas, the Hegemon of the Hellenic Hegemony of Malacanos, do hereby give formal diplomatic recognition to the following nations and governments: the Free State of Xanthisea, the Christian State of South Damoclea, and the Hellenic Polity of North Damoclea. I also give notice that upon the full annexation of the city of Posidonis by the Archonate of Lyscania, it will be recognized as a city of that nation, but until such time will continue to be regarded as a separate protectorate of said nation.
I also wish to refute the claims of the Kingdom of McNernia that I have, in any way, annexed North Damoclea to Malacanos. Rather, as the other occupying powers did, except McNernia itself, my nation and I created a viable post-war state in North Damoclea, governed principally by Damocleans with assistance and protection from Malacanos at the present. It is now ready for self-rule, and as regrettably Damoclea seems to have been partitioned, it is wise to accept this fact as imminent and adapt to the practical reality of the ramifications for both Damoclea and Malacanos alike.
I must now regrettably propose the formal dissolution of the Federal Council, as its purpose was to assist the reintegration of Damoclean zones, something that now seems less than feasible at this point. There is not one Damoclea, but there are now five Damocleas: North, South, East, West, and Xanthisea. No doubt the Edomite and Imperial zones will soon become states of some kind, allied to the occupying powers assigned those zones. The fact that both Xanthisea and South Damoclea have seceded has made this reality, this future, abundantly clear, and so we have chosen to recognize both it and the new nations that have emerged thus far. Once the Imperial and Edomite zones become nations, they, too, shall be recognized as such.
While this is unfortunate, this division, it should also be noted that the Damoclean state in the pre-war sense was barely a nation at all, if it was one. It was in many ways an artificial imitation of a country, held together in makeshift fashion by a series of governments that seemed to fall with disturbing volatility and frequency. If it is stabler as five countries than as one, which seems likely to be the case, then let it be five stable nations which do not have the same destructive potential as one very unstable nation with so much manpower.
I must also urge the Kingdom of McNernia to cease spouting falsehoods about Malacanos and New Edom, and to cease and desist its brutal, ineffective occupation of South Damoclea, returning control to the new nation and its new national government, the Judicial Front. The Hellenic Hegemony of Malacanos not only recognizes the Christian State of South Damoclea as a sovereign nation, but it also recognizes the Judicial Front as the sole lawful and legitimate government of that nation, just as it has with the Free State of Xanthisea and the Hellenic Polity of North Damoclea and their governments. The Hellenic Hegemony of Malacanos is willing to establish full diplomatic relations with all three nations, of course.
In the name of the deathless Gods,
Spiro Costas, Hegemon of Malacanos
