ATTENTION ALL, ATTENTION ALL. BALTUSIA IS CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF NATIONAL CRISIS.

However, the AUP have take swift action to blockade our coast! The following message was received: "Attention all Baltusian government officials! Our military is now blockading your coast line, with our mighty and (mostly) up-to-date warships surrounding your territorial waters. We will not lift the blockade until your provide some compensation for the families of those who died on the Aldegar oil tanker. Just do you dare try to break or WE WILL BLOW YOUR MISERABLE ARMY TO DUST! And just take note that I am the seven-time winner of the Aldegar National Wrestling Championship and YOU SHALL NOT DARE SHOOT ME OR THE DIVINE POWER OF YAZDAN SHALL SMITE YOUR SOLDIERS OF THE FORCES OF DARKNESS! Yazdan Willing, Amīri Aḵẖẉur Abbas Sahut Behmaweh Pādshāhi-ye Amjad-e Aldegār" I aks the defence secretary to take ALL ACTION necessary to ensure the sovereignty and survival of Baltusia. Could all cabinet members, congress people and parties alike please suggest input. Thank you. President DeGraz |

Message | Madame President, This is pure hyperbole from the Aldegarians... yet again. Since the moment they issued this threat we have had our air and naval forces on high alert. This includes our Istalian-made, highly-sophisticated patrol boats. Any idea that the Aldegarian navy could have just slipped by our piquet line and is now blockading our ports in Athosia is utterly out of the question. Sure, they have ships out in international waters but from what we have seen they are a rag-tag fleet that couldn't blockade a fishing trawler. Even the tone of this threat is, in part, the Aldegarians mocking us. However, Madame President, you are commander in chief if you wish me to instruct the joint chief of staffs to use force in retaliation to this threat I await your instruction.

Message | Madame President, We remind the House that we have the following diplomatic treaty in place with Tukarali. http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=3570 The reason I bring this up is that as long as it remains in place it secures out long southern border against any land attack. I suggest the Foreign Secretary reaffirms our non-aggression pact with Tukarali to ensure our position is clear in this respect. In addition, I can confirm my counter-intelligence agents are working around the clock to ensure that we are secure from cyber attack, espionage and other covert operations that a potential enemy may choose to employ against us.

Message | Madame President and Mr Secretary, This threat by Aldegar is completely ridiculous, this is evidenced by a few things (referring to their warships as 'mostly up to date' (something illogical to do whilst making a threat), referring to a wrestling competition as a show of military might, relying on religion to make a threat against a possible assassination attempt etc. Whilst of course there is no evidence either way I urge those performing the investigation to seriously consider the possibility that this is merely an attempt by the Aldegar Unity Party to create completely unwarranted pandemonium, reasons for this could include for some financial gain (perhaps they have investment in our military - the possibility of which should be looked into) or as a show of military might for the future.

Message | Before you will just dismiss Aldegar as a pathetic country, you haven;y even heard how our government restored the country by fighting off the separatist groups to the end of our civil war, including that of North Somasi. Don't even forget that it was us who captured your pathetic hippie warship of yours a decade ago. OOC: Note that on the forum, both Aldegar and Baltusia have equal military capabilities. It is interesting to note that you have a weaker economy than us and that we have a larger military budget than yours. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7077 |

Message | OOC: Yes, we abide by the economic and military rankings and note these positions when getting involved in RPs like this. Also worth noting is that we have a close ally in Istalia - who have a large military base in Baltusia and supply us with arms and equipment. They have Strong ratings in both Military and the Economy on that scale. |

Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
