To: Whoever it May Concern of the Irnotian Government
From: The Secretary of State of the Holy Empire of Algerianbania, Chaseeta Esach
We have just received word that that the Gaulasians are attempting to, with the help of the Fir, to succeed the colony of Gealia from Irnotian control. The Holy Empire of Algerianbania would like to lend a hand to pat out these fires of rebellion. Our supplies and military are yours, if you so deem it necessary.
-Secretary of State of the Holy Empire of Algerianbania, Chaseeta Esach
From Chief Advisor Tita
We welcome your aid in this, we would like your aid in the division of PR and watching our naval borders to insure that outside ships do not aid in supplying terrorist Persons in the area. We will handle all operations on the main land. We thank you for your Support in this.
To: Government of the Irnotian Empire
From: Admiral Nicolas de Neufville, provisional governor of the Gaulasian province of Gealia
The Kingdom of Gaulasia does not want war. We simply want what belongs to us, land inhabited by out ethnic brothers. Rightfully Gealia is Gaulasian land, not Imperial territory.
We wish to return to a state of peace. Surrender all claim to sovereignty over the Fir people and the province of Gealia and remove all Imperial forces from this hemisphere, including the dismantlement of the LCF military base in the Commonwealth of Inglo-Scotia.
May peace again be at hand.
To: Chief Adviser Tita
From: The Secretary of State of the Holy Empire of Algerianbania, Chaseeta Esach
Our country is without a navy or air force, yet we shall bring anti-naval artillery (once it is built) to the region, via commercial airlines.
To members of the LCF Irnotian ships of the coast of our New Colonial gains was attacked with out a declaration of war by the vile Kingdom of Gaulasia. We do not request military action to be taken against them yet, we wish to do as much of this war with our own men. We do request aid in the form of Naval craft as our own navy is not as strong as we would hope.
These violations against the Nation of Irnotia and by proxy the treaty that we are all part of will not go unpunished. Peace will not come till Legionaries enter the capital of Gaulasia as conquering armies.
To: IrnotiaThe People's Republic of Varkour has closely followed the conflict between your nation and Gaulasia.We feel that the Gaulasian people have suffered enough and that you should leave Gaulasia as soon as possible.(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o125/shane5792/EmblemPresidentcopy.jpg)President Maxime Michaud

The Irnotian Empire has a long and defined history of how our honor can be restored in many ways. This is a case of purely Military honor, meaning the honor of the entire nation and our history is threatened. It will not be restored till the offending nation is no longer among the members of the world. This is a conflict between Gualasia and the people whom they viciously attacked with out any declaration of war.
But your views are noted, but will not be used
Thank you

To President Maxime Michaud
War is nothing but suffering and they have caused this by the actions they took when they attacked with out cause or declaration our sovergn nation and killed our sons and daugters. For this only two options exist for their suffering to end, the unconditional surrender of their goverment or the return of all those killed in their vile attacks back to the world of the living. As I do not think they are able to do the later we see only one outcome of this conflict

FROM: Premier Jean-François Carnot of the Estates-General of the Kingdom of Gaulasia, on behalf of King Louis XX
Our situation is dire. Holding onto the nation at this point is a futile struggle that will only result in the death of His Majesty, which would be the end of our nation as we know it. In order to secure the future of Gaulasia, the King must survive.
I plead with you, on behalf of an entire nation, do what you can to save what is left of the Gaulasian royal family and government before the Irnotian barbarians take Lutetia.
To: GaulasiaI have sent a task force to pick up the Gaulasian Royal family. They will be taken to a safe house and will be moved to The People's Republic of Varkour.There is no need to worry, as I am sending the best men Varkour has got.(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o125/shane5792/EmblemPresidentcopy.jpg)
OOC: Sorry about the short reply, I'm at school :P
TO the Allies of Gaulasia
You declared war on The Glories Irnotian Empire in a vain attempt to protect the failed Kingdom of Gaulasia. As of today their government has abandoned their nation just as they abandoned their honor. With it our war against them ends with the conquest of the nation. You no longer have a ally to defend, do you still feel a need for war or will you cut your loses at one member of your alliance or will Irnotia gain more lands
~Nero
Irnotia has withdrawn Military forces from the territories of Gaulasia and Gaulia, they are replaced by military defensive forces and Police Forces to maintain the peace and growth of these new lands.
Nero today leader of all Legions has given a toast to the many fine men who fought for this great victory for the Empire of Irnotia and Says that it will not be the last.
To: The Empire of Irnotia
In light of your recent announcement, I feel obliged to point out that Gallipoli-China cannot lawfully comply with it. As you see, article eleven of our Constitution states thatQuoteThe Workers’ Social Democracy of Gallipoli-China grants asylum to those who are persecuted because of their ideals or their struggles for democratic rights; against imperialism, fascism, colonialism, and neocolonialism; against discrimination and racism; for national liberation; for the rights of workers and the redress of their grievances; for the progressive political, scientific, artistic, and literary activities; for socialism; for peace.While the Gallipoli-Chinese state has not pledged money, material, or other aid to the Fir Solidarity Movement, it would be quite impossible for us to deny their members asylum in our territory should they seek it.
Any government that tried to violate Article Eleven would find itself recalled and replaced for failing to follow the law, and our people will not consent to amend the Constitution for such a reason as this. Gallipoli-China wishes to know what Irnotia's response will be if we are, in the future, forced to carry out our law.
Aram Caros, Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Gallipoli-China.
To the nation of G-C. If you wish to become a terrorist state who takes pride in supporting those who slay innocents for their own joy then you will be seen as such vile beasts. If the great Empire that I serve learns that you have no moral dignity and give support to terrorists and murderers we will know you have declared war against us and are a rouge state who does not value peace or human life.
Honorably yours,
Legatus Legionis Nero
To: Legatus Legionis Nero
In my last message to you, after outlining our legal predicament, I asked "Gallipoli-China wishes to know what Irnotia's response will be if we are, in the future, forced to carry out our law." You responded with two sentences of invective that did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. From your letter, I can see that there will only be one response should we be forced to obey our own unaltered laws. Your nation will declare war.
I find this incredibly unreasonable. The Constitution was drafted far before your current troubles with the Fir Solidarity Movement. It was drafted before your unilateral declaration of policy against terrorism (i.e., three posts above this one). A proposal to amend it has been soundly defeated, by a 78/22 vote margin in a special session of the National Assembly of People's Power. I cannot see how the nation of Gallipoli-China can be punished for following one of its own laws, which, at the time it was adopted, did not conflict with any policy so proclaimed by your government. Know too that the international community will not consent to nations being attacked because they follow their own laws.
I will add another question to my original one: what steps, short of amending the Constitution, which has already failed, can Gallipoli-China take to avoid an attack by Irnotia should we be forced to carry out our law?
TO Aram Caros
Would you be happy and complacent if our nation accepted murderers from your nation into our own. Would you be happy if rapist, serial killers and the like in order to escape punishment for slaughtering your citizens could just come to our nation and be free from any punishment for what they did. Would you be happy if those same people were still able to organize from our nation to kill more in your nation knowing that they were free from any possible retaliation since our government protects them?
No, despite your rhetoric and high ideals I do not think you would be pleased if such things were done by our nation to yours. Why do you then expect us to be happy and content with you doing the same to us. Why should we fell happy about you saying that if it came to it you would allow such people freedom from justice and the ability to continue killing citizens that I have sworn to protect.
You see I am not a legal expert. I know little of my own legal system and yet you expect me to know the inter-working of your own. All I propose to you is that you do not allow he cowards that are in this organization to live free in your nation. How you plan on doing that is on your heads and so is anything that happens from them. On you is placed the future blood or peace that will come from your actions. I think it would be a simple choice but that does not seem the case.
For this I ask Apollo to grant you his wisdom so you may make a good choice.

TO Aram CarosQuoteWould you be happy and complacent if our nation accepted murderers from your nation into our own.

Would you be happy if those same people were still able to organize from our nation to kill more in your nation knowing that they were free from any possible retaliation since our government protects them?We would not be happy about it, but we would not fault Irnotia for following their own laws. It is not our business what your nation does or does not do. However, I do not think this is an appropriate analogy. As far as I know, Irnotia does not protect rapists, murderers, or any such individuals into its nation.QuoteNo, despite your rhetoric and high ideals I do not think you would be pleased if such things were done by our nation to yours. Why do you then expect us to be happy and content with you doing the same to us. Why should we fell happy about you saying that if it came to it you would allow such people freedom from justice and the ability to continue killing citizens that I have sworn to protect.As I said, this is a moot point, because Irnotian policy forbids it from carrying out such actions. We are not discussing Irnotian policy, and I would appreciate it if you'd keep straw men out of the debate.QuoteYou see I am not a legal expert. I know little of my own legal system and yet you expect me to know the inter-working of your own. All I propose to you is that you do not allow he cowards that are in this organization to live free in your nation. How you plan on doing that is on your heads and so is anything that happens from them. On you is placed the future blood or peace that will come from your actions. I think it would be a simple choice but that does not seem the case.I do not expect you to know all our laws; that's why I informed you of them. As I said, there is no way around them, and if you do not want war with Gallipoli-China, which would be an outcome neither of us look for, I see that the only course of action is for Irnotia to prevent emigration from its colonies.
The purpose of that was to show you what you were doing to us and to see if you would find it a reasonable act. Clearly your law also makes it so you are not allowed to see this as well. If your law demands that you support terrorism by giving them a place to hide then you have no place to complain when you are treated as a terrorist state since you wish to be one.
You take an interesting point to declare that we should put effort to restrict the freedoms of our own citizens to make it so you can keep claiming moral high-ground. We do not allow known terrorists to leave our nation in fact they are ordered to be executed on site. The laws limiting the emigration of those of the Firian Tribe have also ended as the war that needed it has ended for now. I feel that instead you should restrict the ability of immigration into your lands if you do not want the results of those activities. Any nation may make a law, but that law is not imposed or relevant to anyone outside that nation. We care not what reasons you give to give support to terrorism, if we find you do you will be treated the same as any other nation, with or without such a law.
Do not take this as a sign we want war, in fact you are the only person here that seems to be looking for it. No we want the security of our people from terrorism and murderers, and nothing more.
To: Nero
How about this; Gallipoli-China accepts any Firian immigrants that may choose to come here, including members of the FSM if they are able to elude your authorities, but we make it as difficult as possible for them to carry out independent violent actions as long as they are residents in our nation. Would that be acceptable?
What you decide is up to you and of no concern to me. Just know that if we learn of FSM members in your nation we will demand their extradition to our lands and if you refuse we will take it as you giving open support to them.
Nero Leader of all Legions stated today that Irnotia to provide more land and resources for its great citizens will be expanding its territorial claims. The first push will be into north Gaulia. The territories that started the recent Gaulasian War that ended in the annexation of the nation of Gaulasia.
These will use a mix of fresh recruites, reservists and veterens from past wars for this military push.
