Description[?]:
Investigation is over. All nations affected by the terroristic organization entitled the "Fatlange Party" and its harboring nation have found consistent results that the Fatlange Party was indeed behind the terrorist atrocity committed in our own nation, and likewise problems in their nations, and that the Fatlange Party has consistently insulted and harassed other nations, and declaring "enemies." Our friends, and fellow ratifiers of the "Condemnation of the Kundrati Union" treaty, the Holy Luthori Empire, have recently successfully declared war on the Kundrati Union and are beginning to take military action. We should not forsake our brothers on the eve of battle, especially in fighting enemies that have committed terrorist acts on this great land. An excerpt from their war declaration: "Recent messages by the 'Fatlange' party of Kundrati to the government of the Holy Empire have deeply insulted the people of Luthori and are in breach of international law... We shall not tolerate these insults by Kundrati to Luthori, and as a major Artanian power, we believe that we should take action, so as to stop these insults once and for all. We convene the Imperial Diet to decide this action. This declaration of war needs at least half of the legislature to vote yes, and the approval of the Holy Emperor (via his two representatives), the Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary. If the declaration of war is approved, a national mobilisation will occur, and Operation SPAM FILTER - an air force and naval bombardment of Isle of Jildrath, to soften it up for an amphibious invasion, in order for our forces to use the island (codenamed 'Airstrip One') as a forward operating base for operations against mainland Kundrati - will be launched immediately." We believe that the time to act is now. President Friedrick Nietzsche has already called upon fellow ratifiers of the Likatonia Friendship and Co-Operation Treaty to aid us in war. We have especially asked Likatonia, and if they do not come to our aid, we wish to withdraw from the treaty they founded long ago with the vision of friendship but unfortunately would apparently be unable to fulfill themselves. We have also called upon the ratifiers of the treaty of the Condemnation of the Kundrati Union. We have one of, if not the most powerful military on the planet Terra, and we will be successful if we go to war, at virtually no losses to our own people and the massive military force it is composed of. We cannot let terrorist organizations put the lives of our citizens in jeopardy and make our people live in fear. We call upon you, fellow Barmenistanians, to declare war on these wretched terrorists. The time is now. |

Message | We are not going there to terrorize them, we are going there to eliminate the problem directly; not for some false sense of "restoring order," "creating a real democracy," or "liberating the people," but actually ELIMINATING the problem. |

Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
