Manifest Destiny (Open, MT)

[Osthia]

From the Constitutional Empire of Osthia
On Behalf of His Majesty, Emperor Arathor I

To the Government of Britannia,
First off, normally, I would not be writing such statements, but since His Majesty is unable to perform his duties at the moment, as he is hospitalized in your nation, according to the Constitution, I have been given authority to temporarily undertake his duties. And secondly, here is our response:

1. The Constitutional Empire of Osthia will not be under this sort of jurisdiction, but we do applaud your efforts of trying to curb tyranny.

2. Although it is highly doubtful that we would have any "suspicious" merchant ships, we will allow you to search any vessels you deem suspicious, but we ask that you notify our Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you do so.

3. As long as Osthia is not targetted, then we do not mind.

4. We approve of this.

5. Again, we so no problems with this.

6. In Osthia, all are given a fair trial, so we see no need to hand Britannian criminals in Osthia over to the jurisdiction of a Britannian court, since they took the rosk of committing a crime in our lands.

7. Very well

OOC: Ceannearceach owns this format of post, and all who wish to use this format must ask the said nation for permission to use such format in the future.

We the people of Latnya Here by Condemn this act and we strongly advise you to repeal these laws
Immediately or risk the baning of all products from your country and cutting off of diplomatic ties.

We will not rescind our Declaration. So long as you are not a genocidal dictatorship, you hardly have anything to worry about.

There is no need for us to observe the nation of Osthia with any suspicion, as they are regarded by us as a fair state. However, we must uphold our request that all Britannians accused of being criminals be returned to Britannia. This is not out of doubt of foreign judges; rather, it is the fact that we believe justice will be more appropriately served to those persons if they are guilty, and punishment will be given where it is due.

Official Communique, to the Emperor of Ulthrani
Hello, Your Majesty,

It is with humility that I currently write this communique to you. As you may or may not be aware, Parliament recently passed the Salisbury Declaration, upholding Britannia's God-given right to stand as a bastion of civilisation in a dark world.

A part of the Declaration, however, was a clause which stated that no foreign powers should be allowed to establish themselves within Azhukali. This is being called the 'Azhukali Sovereignty Act'. Unfortunately, the presence of Ulthranian troops in Kensington is a violation of this clause.

The nation of Britannia has a favourable opinion of Ulthrani, and we realise that you would most likely not be in a hurry to throw away an overseas base. Therefore, we are offering to reimburse you for the amount of NSD you have spent on the maintenance and construction of that base.

We do not mean this as an act of aggression; however, you must understand that the presence of Ulthranian troops in our country would be comparable to a Britannian garrison in Opus Dei.

With respect,
Prime Minister Thomas Powers-Carne

[Neo Prutenia]

To: Herr Powers-Carne, Britannia's newest Prime Minister
From: Großkommandant Friedrich Hohenheimer
Concerning: The The Salisbury Declaration
Encryption: None

Most respected Herr Powers-Carne, let me use this opportunity to congratulate you on your political success and newly achieved position. I hope that the electoral body made a wise decision when they elected you as their representative. In that regard, I wish you a peaceful, prosperous and successful term of office. Make your parliament and people proud. So, in light of this recent event and not wishing to spoil the celebration and election euphoria, I will tone down on criticism, hard words and express my concerns, disagreements and offense taken by the newly proclaimed document of yours, the Salisbury Declaration.

Not wishing to question your reasoning for such bold statements, I will make the official position of the Prut on this matter clear right from the beginning. Not only will we ignore this infringement on the sovereignty of the Prut Nation, and by extension all other nations, but we will treat any invocation of the Salisbury Declaration as a justification to violate Prut Sovereignty in international waters (seizing of ship and shipments), internal sovereignty (meddling in internal affairs), external sovereignty (enforcement of external policies), international relations, influence and interests ( interference in external politics, colonization, etc) and disrespect towards our legal system (extradiction of expats/refugees) as a casus belli.

Should Reformed Britannia choose to ignore our stance and warning, there is a great possiblity that we will act upon that casus belli and respond with force. I cannot imagine what drew Herr Powers-Carne to make this bold statement without realizing that he would come into conflict with several of his regional neighbors, Neo Prutenia in particular. It is no big secret that the Prut ancestral homeland is not in Aschenkeilern(Azhukali), and that the Salisbury Declaration effectively gives right to Reformed Britannia to interfere in Aschenkeilern Neo Prutenia as they please, while Metropolitan Neo Prutenia would be unable to protest. How did you expect our reaction to this statement of yours would have been?

Further, it is also no big secret that the small Nation of Kwenza expressed its wish to join the Meritocratic Republic under Prut Suzerainty. This peaceful incorporation is now unnecessarily threatened by the shadow of Britannia's new, imperialistic policies. Such hamfisted policies won't be tolerated by the Prut State. I condone your wish to make your presence in the international community for felt and important, as well as your aims to expand economical and diplomatic relations with other Nations, but I strongly condemn they way you choose to express your wishes and the choice you made in that regard.

I hope that you will rethink your position and back down with your Nation, dignity and political career intact, before this simple misunderstandment escalates into a conflict. With all due respect,

Großkommandant Friedrich Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia

[Ulthran Imperia Admin]

Emperor Coriolanus of the Ulthranian Empire, Emperor Heindrick von Kessel of Renthorian and Czar Vladimir Mikhailov of Chelyabinskian Empire met together for lunch and the further drive for the production of a greater commonwealth, wtih Ulthrani's large amount of colonies and the economic enrichment of Renthor and Nizhny Chelyabinsk it would surely be a great unionship.

In the middle of discussion of having additional Renthorian and Chelyabinskian Forces, increasing the base size to hold over 100,000 troops, being added to the base, who would have arrived at Britannian ports at almost the same time, an aide rushed to the Emperor's side. It came directly from the new Britannian Prime Minister which was disheartening.

"What is the matter Tiberius?" Heindrick said to his fellow emperor, who all spoke like brothers to one another.
"It appears gentlemen that the Britannians wish to discontinue our agreement" The Emperor crushed his cigar into a tray and the Czar took a swig of vodka and called in his deep voice
"We do not need to listen to these inferiors Ulthranian, we are mighty and we have signed deal, no?" he paused and took another swig of vodka "We must remain true to ourselves and we must keep the base open, I don't think you want to lose your only outpost in Azhukali?"

Coriolanus turned to his comrade-emperor, with a singular smile and looked at Emperor von Kessel at the same time. He had an idea
"Brothers, we must keep this base open for only a short while, yes I do not wish to lose my only outpost in the entire region, but that does not mean we have to lose the base...we simply have to make the colonization process on one of those islands in the region start a whole lot quicker."

"Do we tell the Britannians" Heindrick asked, with Vladimir nodding to the same question

"No, we stay the regular course us Ulthranians do, afterall, Field Master Marcellus is as loyal as a dog...he won't give up that ground without having his life taken, he's that loyal. Make it look like we are not doing what they want, but secretly do it..."

Dear Prime Minister Power-Carne

We had already made an extended stay contract with your government to expand the lifetime of Victoria Base and the base size itself to fit an increasing garrison. As we do realize that we will not be staying indefinitely, we are already in the middle of massive reconstruction and expansion, fifty billion NSD to be exact...we have spent more than half a trillion on that base and you are right into assuming I will not give up that base.

I give the choice to Field Master Marcellus, as he has to sign to termination order. You may send a government official to the base along with the inspector

Signed,
Emperor Tiberius Satarii Coriolanus
Emperor of The Grand Empire of Ulthrani & her Drakus Colonies

A letter from Sir Vladimir Makarov Leader of Communist Cuba

The Evil Imperialists of Reformed Britannia

Concerning the Ideas of Manifest Destiny by Reformed Britannia

Today, the new prime minister of the Imperialists of Reformed Britannia Herr Powers-Carne established a new law in Reformed Britannia. The ideas of Imperialism by Reformed Britannia brings a giant alert by the Western Cuban Government. Including me Vladimir Makarov the Second of Communist Cuba. I do not like this idea of a Manifest Destiny. Especially by a government such as Reformed Britannia. Greedy capitalists led by Republicans. This does not go well in the eyes of mine, and I am on full alert. I have raised DEFCON 3 all throughout Western Cuba and Western Cuba is up in arms. I have prepared my navy, army, and air force. In any possible ways that I will need them.

Hopefully I won't have to use these forces, but force might have to be necessary. We suggest that your nation's congress reverses this bill before it is passed because in the eye of the world this is an act of pure evil and not for the common good of mankind.

Therefore I the Leader of Western Cuba. Vladimir Makarov the Second condemns the act of Herr Powers-Carne of passing of such an evil imperialist act. This Manifest Destiny must be put to an end.

OOC: Sorry this may be confusing I'm like half asleep.

Vladgrad
Port Vladgrad

It had been decided in top secret by Vladimir Makarov the Second that most likely there would be an invasion. He would select one of the colonies of Reformed Britannia and invade. He would use it as a show of force of the Western Cuba Navy, Army, and Air Force and to show what Reformed Britannia was dealing with. This Manifest Destiny would be put to an end. 5 fleets containing 50,000 soldiers would be sent to a colony however though Vladimir Makarov the Second still wanted to decide. However his ORBAT was planned for each fleet.

Fleet Size

2 Aircraft Carriers each fleet
50 Aircraft per ship (10 of which are Bombers)
2 Battleships
12 Destroyers
4 Frigates
Hundreds of Landing Craft
20 Submarines per Fleet

Army

50,000 soldiers per wave (Fleet)
100 Tanks per wave (Fleet)
Hundreds of Artillery Pieces per wave (Fleet)
200+ IFV's
200+ Humvee's

We will not retract the Salisbury Declaration. This is not an expansionist declaration; it is a declaration asserting our right to intervene globally, within the confines of Britannian law.

In response to the message, a government diplomat-escorted by two Horse Guards-was sent to the base, carrying the papers that would need an official signature for the base's dissolution.

Herr Hohenheimer,

It would seem, then, that your nation has nothing to worry about from the Salisbury Declaration. We will not seize ships in international waters, we have not pledged to meddle in the internal affairs of other nations, and we have not expressed a interest in dealing with the foreign policy of other nations. Rather, we seek only to uphold the basic rights of man, and will intervene only when there is a gross violation of international law, as we have stated.

This is not a declaration proclaiming Britannia's intent to wipe every nation that has even the slightest contradiction to the Salisbury Declaration off the face of the earth, certainly not. In the Salisbury Declaration, we have declared that we may intervene wherever we choose lawfully-and any nation which has had dealings with Britannia in the past knows that we do not take war lightly. Due to our old imperialist actions, we had to fight a series of wars against powers such as Gibet and Stoklomolvi which left our economy shattered, to say the least. We emerged intact, but only barely; we have no intent to fight global wars again. However, should we choose to intervene, we are asserting the fact that it will be lawful according to Britannian law-provided that Parliament approves the declaration of war beforehand. The only ones who need fear this clause are ruthless, genocidal dictatorships, and the Prut Nation does not seem to be one of those.

On the subject of imperialism in Azhukali, we have no intention of meddling with the affairs of other established powers in Azhukali. While we did state that we mean to keep imperialist powers out of Azhukali, we also stated we were doing this to protect the sovereignty of existing nation-states within Azhukali. If the people of Kwenza joined you out of their own free will then we take no issue with that; every one of Britannia's Dominions joined the empire out of their own free will, and it would be hypocritical of us to prevent the union of a willing nation with another. It is the aggressive conquest of native, sovereign peoples within Azhukali by extra-regional powers that we seek to prevent.

In short, the Salisbury Declaration is, quite simply, not a 'rule set' for other nations to abide by. It is a manifesto of the actions Britannia may take given certain circumstances, not a set of rules that it will attempt to force on every sovereign state it comes across.

With respect,
Prime Minister Thomas Powers-Care

THE SALISBURY DECLARATION[/size]

II. Britannia hereby asserts its rights to seize any commercial shipping deemed suspicious that is travelling within Britannian-controlled waters, and will conduct a thorough search of the seized vessel(s) in question.

III. Britannia hereby asserts its divine right to spread Britannian civilisation to the far corners of the earth through its 'consensual imperialism' policy.

IV. Britannia hereby declares its intent to prevent extra-regional powers from colonising Azhukali, and maintaining the sovereignty and liberty of all indigenous nations within that region.

V. Britannia hereby declares its intent to increase Britannian economic and diplomatic presence abroad.

VI. Britannia declares that all criminals of Britannian citizenship abroad and all Britannian citizens abroad accused of being criminals or who are apprehended by foreign authorities must be returned to Britannia for a fair trial.

VII. His Majesty, His Majesty's family, His Majesty's Government, and His Majesty's subjects declare that Britannia, as well as her Empire consisting of the Dominions of Gathustria,Manatopa,Etoriana,Bondashk,The Vatican Nation,The Colte Islands,Imperial Tokugawa and Astholm shall uphold this new policy with the utmost conviction, so help us God.[/align]

Herr Powers-Care,

I appreciate your answer and I'm reassured now that I'm talking with a reasonable man. Yet, and excuse my justified Skepticism, I fail to believe that the misunderstandment between us arose only because of the poor wording of the document. Similarly, your reply is nothing more then a nice, more subtle way to say the same thing stated in the original Salisbury Declaration, but in a more polite manner. But, let me point out clearly what it is that bothers me so, and I hope that you will take those as suggestions on how to amend, or even change the document. Under current conditions, we maintain our stance of interpreting your actions as layed out by the current, original draft of the Salisbury Declaration as a casus belli.

The underlined statements are just ambiguous, and open to subjective interpretation; those might be a product of poor wording, and I might be willing to accept them as such. Let me just glance over them and explain the problem. Section II mentions Britannian-controlled, not Britannian National waters, a big difference. One you should alleviate as soon as possible. Section III has no legal, real or political basis, and it cannot be interpreted in any other form as acknowledgment of Britannian Supremacy, at least in its current state. I would refrain from calling out to God. Section IV also has no legal, real or political basis, and although a noble goal and understandable policy, Reformed Britannia has no weight acting in such an capacity then the nations attempting colonization. Further, it brings you into conflict with any and all non-native Aschenkeilern(Azhukali) Nations. With the simple addition of "...preventing any further colonization..." you avoid such issues.

Now, Section I and V are violations of Sovereignty, especially the underlined parts and cannot be tolerated. These sectons must either be completely removed or extensively changed. If Reformed Britannia's intentions are truely what you have stated so far, then you must recognise the error of those two sections. Any form of Intervention is a violation of both External and Internal Sovereignty of a Nation State. Insisting on deportation with previous agreement is a violation of the laws of the country in question, also a breach of Internal Sovereignty. No Sovereign entity will accept your policies and statements as long as these sections remain.

In your reply, you failed to alleviate my concerns. I specified in my reply to your declaration that the use of the Salisbury Declaration, and only the Salisbury Declaration, as justification for breaching Prut Sovereignty will be interpreted as a casus belli. Violations of International Law are a entirely different matter. However, you still maintain, as underlined in your reply, that you will act under conditions you deem as appropriate, and not what the international community feels as such. Upholding basic rights is an ambiguous term, easy to exploit. I hope you will see the wisdom of my words. Serious, reasonable politicians and Statesman, as you yourself, should strive to avoid such faux pas whenever possible.

With all due respect,

Großkommandant Friedrich Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia

[Cyrupe]

Official Communique of the Imperial Republic of Cyrupe

While we are unamused by the nation of Reformed Britannia releasing another document in such a short period of time, we are even less amused by how certain historical enemies of Reformed Britannia attempt to try and disrupt said documents passing. Clearly Reformed Britannia is well within it's rights to perform the duties listed within the Salisbury Declaration, especially considering that it [the Salisbury Declaration] is not forcing or threatening any nations in the world, nor would the document encourage shipping to be attacked by Britannian warships outside of their waters.

We, the Imperial Republic of Cyrupe, feel that the nations of Grecht-Albertsstein and Western Cuba, are intentionally misreading the already poorly worded document to excuse themselves to commit violent crimes towards the Imperial Federation of Reformed Britannia and we frankly feel that this is rapidly becoming a disturbing trend in several nations that have had a sour relationship with the Imperial Federation of Reformed Britannia. As a result, the Imperial Republic of Cyrupe has no choice but to let it be known to the nations of Grecht-Albertsstein and Western Cuba; along with any other nation who feels this is a chance to harass and harm our ally that we can and will intervene should any attempts at threatening the sovereignty of the Imperial Federation of Reformed Britannia or her colonial possessions arise.

We certainly agree with Großkommandant Friedrich Hohenheimer, hailing from Neo Prutenia regarding the poorly worded mix up that is know known to the world as the Salisbury Declaration and we feel that it should be fixed post haste in order to prevent further backlash from the international community that we inevitably would play a major roll of cleaning up. Regardless of this, we are obligated by both the Cyrupean-Britannian mutual defense pact and the Cyru-Anglo Alliance to protect one another in such a situation and will rather protect our smaller ally than side with nations we have little to no true relationships with beyond intelligence records on our existence.

Furthermore, we issue our last official warning to the nation of Grecht-Albertsstein, a nation that has pushed it's reasonable limits more than enough times to provoke the Imperial Republic's wrath against your people for the second time in our history. We encourage the nation of Grecht-Albertsstein to reconsider sticking it's clearly unwanted nose in international incidents that happen to involve it's so called 'arch-enemy' Reformed Britannia.

From: Foreign Minister Peter Mundski, Ministry of International Affairs
Subject: The Salisbury Declaration
Encryption: None

First and foremost let me congratulate the Minister on his new position. It is nice to see democracy in action. Hopefully your term will be successful and your people find you capable.

That said we must come to the real reason for this communiqué, the recent release of this “Salisbury Declaration.” There can be no mistake, no misplaced words, and no misunderstandings in foreign policy. This leads me to relay that The Grand Proletariat State of Rusikstan is displeased with the recent change of the foreign policy of your nation of Reformed Britannia. We can not stand aside while such a decree is made.

However; we’ve been informed that we are not the only Department that finds this decree to be in fault at some level. Since my sentiments have been already been expressed at length by my fellow diplomats I will limit myself to this; The Grand Proletariat State will not be acknowledging the Salisbury Declaration until it is acceptable. The Grand Proletariat State of Rusikstan will continue with its affairs according to the previous foreign policy understanding between our nations.

We request that you respect the decision of The Grand Proletariat State of Rusikstan and do not interfere with any of its operations or dealings. The Grand Proletariat State of Rusikstan will not tolerate actions directed against it under this declaration.

Good Day Sir.

To: The Imperial Federation of Reformed Britannia

The Empire has noted this imperialistic warmongering of the nation of Britannia and we will say this now. We will not beg your permission or your pardon, we will not bow in your presence nor concede to your will. You will not touch anything that flies Her Majesty's Banner, God having Mercy on your Soul will not help you nor any allies you call your own. Note; this is no threat, this is no idle wording in order to incite you into a combative measure against Her Majesty's Government and Empire. Rather this is a friendly warning from Her Majesty's Government delivered unto His Majesty's Government.

Sincerely,
Lord-Knight Sir Cornelius Maximillion - Advisor to Her Majesty the Czarina and Prime Minister of the Greater Russo-Spanish Empire

Official Diplomatic Communique

To Prime Minister Thomas Powers-Carne,

Firstly, I wish to congratulate you on your recent electoral victory. The democratic process is always something to celebrate, and being victorious within it is even more a celebratory occasion. I am only saddened that I have no such option for celebration. I have sent, along with this letter, a bottle of one of the finest wines in my cellar. I offer this bottle on one condition, that being that you drink it now, and not hid it away in a cellar somewhere, as wine is something to be enjoyed not something to be locked up and observed.

Now I fear I must come to the more depressing part of my letter. I have on my desk now a copy of your, "Salisbury Declaration". I must complement you on it's rapid creation and passage through parliament. Sadly that is another joy of the electoral system, that I lack the opportunity to participate in. I am sure that this is simply a misunderstanding, however, upon reading your statement, it almost sounds as if you are claiming the right to extradite citizens from foreign sovereign nations on a whim, and seize foreign commercial traffic at will. Now I am sure that this is simply a misinterpretation or understanding on my part, however, if it is not, then it is something we must deal with. We are not a people quick to war, as such decisions should not be taken lightly, however, we shall not sit back and see our rights trampled by another. I hopefully await a reply from you so that we may straighten out this matter quickly and civilly.

Signed,

Open Communique

In light of the copious amount of controversy that the Salisbury Declaration has created, the original document has been changed in several ways. The basic principles remain basically the same, however, their wording more accurately reflects the true intentions behind them. Clause VI, concerning the non-negotiable extradition of Britannian criminals back to Britannia, was ruled unconstitutional and was removed.

Sincerely,
The Britannian Government

[Star Trek America]

Diplomatic Communique of the United Federation of America

To Whom It May Concern: The Britannian Government

The United Federation of America frowns severely on this 'world police' outlook that the Britannian Federation and Empire has gone to undertake. Your declaration speaks as though you desire to assert you will over the other sovereign states on God's Earth.

We are here to tell you that you have no such right. Though this is no declaration of war; consider it a declaration of intent. Should you lay hand over any vessel or property or person that claims to American ownership or lineage your own properties and people will suffer the consequences of similar actions. This is not a request, this is a promised decree.

Sincerely and in good faith,

FROM THE DESK OF FOREIGN DIRECTOR
HILLARY QUINN

To: Prime Minister Powers-Carne of Reformed Britannia

Mr. Powers-Carne,

First and foremost, congratulations on your election as Prime Minister. Vibrosestan hopes that you will be a fair and just leader for your people, and that you continue your hard work to better your nation.

Regarding your recent "Salisbury Declaration", it is the official standpoint of Vibrosestan that the revised Salisbury Declaration is a fair foreign affairs standpoint. However, the vague wording of the document has raised several eyebrows within the government. As such, the following points must be made clear regarding Vibrosestani sovereignty:

Firstly, regarding article 1 of the declaration, any encroachment on Vibrosestan's right to self-governance or attempt to force Britannian ideals upon the nation will be met with vast resistance. Any outright attempt to control the policy of Vibrosestan will be regarded with utmost anger, and appropriate sanctions will follow.

Secondly, regarding article 2. We will respect your right to search any of our ships that may enter your waters, but any search of a Vibrosestani vessel in international waters or the waters of a non-Britannian nation will not be tolerated.

Thirdly and finally, any attempt to assert Britannia's "divine" right to spread Britannian civilization onto Vibrosestani soils, or the soils of its allies, will be met with a swift and harsh response.

Should these points be kept in mind, I am sure our two nations will maintain an amiable relationship that we only hope will grow with time.

All respect,
Hil Quinn
Foreign Director and Advisor to the General Director

[Reformed Britannia]

Ms. Quinn,

Your nation has nothing to worry about in regards to the Salisbury Declaration, as long as it is not a genocidal dictatorship or other morally questionable state. We shall reserve our rights to intervene abroad, as without them, the Britannian Empire would be naught but a paper tiger.

As for clause three, we have no intention of spreading Britannian civilisation through violence. Our policy of consensual imperialism means that every Dominion currently under Britannian rule is there because they wanted to be a part of the Imperial Federation. We are not ones to invade and annex nations solely for the sake of conquest.

I hope this may have alleviated some of your concerns. We have no intention of violence or aggressive expansion whatsoever.

Sincerely,
Prime Minister Powers-Carne
