Memo to all Ipods
As the Ipod of Loyan, I stand against any intervention in the armed separatist movement currently happening in the Xyraeli colony of Gelibolu, unless we find substantial evidence of human rights or war time engagement violations in the conflict.
However, I do wish to bring up the issue of whether we should recognize the Gelibolu government, if it did succeed in gaining independence from Xyrael. Please discuss in the meeting I have scheduled.
Imperial Communication
His Divinity is aware of the Gallipoli Question currently being discussed by the IPO. His Most Charitable Excellency wishes to make clear that the Gallipoli are residents of the Empire of Xyrael, and as such are subject to every law instituted by His Insightful Majesty. As such, the Empire has commited no crimes against their human dignity or life, and wishes to stress that any discussion of intervention will serve only to turn the Empire against the IPO.
He wishes instead to bring to the attention of the IPO the Moacian-Ozian Conflict. Should the IPO wish to discuss conflict, then it should concern itself with real matters. The Esteemed Sovereign of the Eternal Land of Xyrael is disgusted with the fact that this International Peace Organization has not yet observed the use of biological warfare against Moacian citizens. The Empire of Xyrael will handle this problem as we see fit, but requests humanitarian aid be provided to alleviate the plight of the Moacians. The Empire has noted that the biological agent was an extremely large application of potent anthrax to a river source. This river has infected the most fertile farmlands of Moacia, and the Empire has unknowingly delivered several infected shipments of grain to the esteemed nation of Loyan. The Empire has taken steps to ensure that further spread of this agent are contained, but requires supplies of food to ensure that the citizenry do not starve or thirst.
TO: Esteemed Sovereign of the Eternal Land of Xyrael
From: Ipod of New Delfos, Yuri Papovish.
The Ipod and government of New Delfos want to invite His Divinity for a meeting in Boyengrado, or if you could kindly invite our Ipod to visit your motherland. This meeting is to inform our government and IPO Delegate about the confronts in your colonies and their threats to your sovereignty.
General Order
Issue by the Ipod of Loyan
As administrative head of IPO, I have imposed temporary sanctions against Moacia in face of it's recent use of biological agents against civilians. No member of IPO is allow to supply capital or any sorts of product or service to these criminals for any reason.
TO: Representatives of IPO-affiliated states
From: His Imperial Majesty's Ambassador to the International Peace Organization, Ian Blaine
It is the wish of His Imperial Majesty's government that the IPO take immediate action to raise sanctions against the Empire of Xyrael, and recognize the independence of both the Gallipoli and Ozian states.
I have obtained transcripts of the general assembly's discussion of these matters and I believe I speak for His Imperial Majesty and his government when I say it's time to stop playing cards with human lives.
While the possibilities of neutral observers are discussed, as Ipods squabble over the realities of the Xyraeli government's crimes against humanity, more and more innocents die.
The time for action is now. I pray the majority of IPO nations come to see the excessive brutality that exists within the Xyraeli regime.
To:The Esteemed Sovereign of the Eternal Land of Xyrael
From: Dr Moccha Chairman of IHAO
It has come to our organizations attention that the country of Moacia has been the place of an Anthrax outbreak.
We would like to offer our assistance in fighting this disease.
We request information of the current situation to prepare humanitarian aid but are willing to send first assistance in the form of doctors and medical equipment, as well as drugs, food and water purification equipment.
As we have no contact trough a embassy of your country or that of Moacia we have relayed this message trough our IPO delegate.

From: Liu Hanshen, Ipod of Cantr
I am not yet willing to take sides on the issue of Xyrael's potentially oppressive and brutal government, but for the sake of discussion, let us assume that the worst of their accusations are completely true and that they are abusing nearly every human right IPO's current charter supposedly protects. If Xyrael's acts against humanity prove to be true, will we continue to suffer their presence in IPO?
OOC If you don't know what observer means check here
A delegate in an organization that is sent to observe and report on the proceedings of an assembly or a meeting but that can not vote or otherwise participate.
Or in our case
A delegate in an organization that is sent to observe and report on the proceedings of an armed conflict. but that can not interfere on behalf of any side.
So sorry. No guns here, But free transport in brightly colored cars for everyone.
And field glasses, oh and cameras.
Yep
To: All Ipods
From: Liu Hanshen
I support the recognition of the rebel states but am hesitant to support taking action against Xyrael. However, if we do take action to save the lives of innocents, we must be willing to do whatever it takes, even if that means invasion. We cannot do this half-way. We must either be ready to commit totally or not commit at all. This, primarily, is why I am hesitant to intervene in Xyrael. The Cantr Wars are not yet a year old, and I am loathe to support any military action.
Nonetheless, Cantr will never hold its own well-being so high as to ignore the blood of a million innocent martyrs for the sake of our own peace. I will not act until I know that Xyrael has committed these crimes.
To: All IPODs
From: Bakoyannis VI, IPOD of the Collosean Federation
The IPO is not a tool to fight other people's wars. If it was, we should be deploying to Canada right now. Most IPO members either voted against or abstained in that vote.
Collosea will not give recognition to any of the Xyraeli territories any time soon and will not support any kind of intervention.
From: Liu Hanshen
To: All Ipods
I am in agreement with Terrangar. We should first send an investigation team. If the IPO will not do this, then I will collaborate with Terrangar and any other willing nations to do it myself.
TO: All IPODs
FROM: Samuel Jefferson, IPOD of the Democratic States
The internal policies of the Empire of Xyrael are the business of Xyrael and Xyrael alone. When did dictating the terms of how a nation should govern itself become a principal of the IPO?
Not only should this organization disregard the Inglo-Scotian IPOD's ridiculous call to conflict, but I call for the IPO to cease any discussion to send observers to Xyrael or its colonies.
It is not the IPO's place to dictate terms of governance to independent and sovereign states.
To: All Ipods
From: Liu Hanshen
Do you really expect Mr. Jefferson to act against the best interests of his nation for this flimsy organization whose purpose is, as yet, utterly undefined? That is ludicrously optimistic and naive. If we had an actual, solid charter that dictated when we get involved in a nations business it would be one thing. But we do not.
Declaration of the Corlu General Strike, and for the Independence of Gelibolu
The Davet 'in Isciler
The Davet 'in Isciler, organizer and representative of the people of Gelibolu, wishes to take this opportunity to explain the grievences that this people has developed against the Xyraeli imperial administration. This document is not meant to be a petition to the Xyraelis to change their methods, for any such consessions may be all too easily rescinded. It is a statement of how they have failed, and how they always will fail, to satisfy the needs of the people of this country, and why this country must forge its own way in the region. Nor is it a document preaching racial or religious hatred, for this is not a national or regligious revolt, though there are certainly elements of national and religious oppression present in the Xyraeli imperial system. As shown by its beginning in the industrial town of Corlu, this strike and revolt is of the isciler, of the masses of workers finally tired of all they have been put through.
The abuses of the Xyraeli imperial administration have been many and varied, and only a few of their offenses are enumerated below. These offenses are simply the most egregious of the lot, as any comprehensive list would stretch longer than the kilometers of roadway in Istanbul. The paper it would be printed on would sink any ship out of Marmara Eregli. The mills of Corlu would wear out their presses printing such a list. Their abuses include:
- A plundering of the land, meant to serve their own economy and with the natural consequence of depriving eight million people of the resources of their land, and of the products of their hands;
- Profiteering at the expense of the workers, which has led to unsafe workplaces in which many are killed each year;
- Restrictions on freedom of movement by means of ID cards, curfews, and military checkpoints;
- Restrictions on privacy by similar means;
- Suppression of native political parties, including the Davet 'in Isciler, with the object of taming the people politically to the wiles of the Xyraeli imperial family;
- Active State support for the Illuminist religion, and punishment for outspoken proponents of other religions;
- And finally, an unwarrented military assault on the people of Istanbul, causing many deaths and the wanton destruction of people's homes and livelyhoods.
It is in protest of these abuses that the Davet 'in Isciler has called this general strike in Corlu, and that the people of Corlu have responded. The strike will not end until our demands, for full and complete independence from the Empire of Xyrael, and the recognition of our independence by the family of nations, have been met. For this moment the people of this city and the Davet representing them do not take recourse to armed violence, but we stand ever vigilant to defend ourselves if threatened.
We encourage other Districts, towns, and cities of Gelibolu to follow the example of the people of Corlu, and call on them to join us in our struggle for a democratic, Councilist republic, the highest principle of which shall be: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

How can it NOT be a national liberation movement? You declared independence and are trying to expell the Xyraelis! Dispite the reasonings behind it, it's quite obvious that it's a national liberation movement. So nothing has changed Xyrael from bringing up a good and valid point.Remark is ignored as it is a response to a clearly OOC comment.
I have yet to see any evidence of any of what you claim happening. For this reason, Collosea is still supporting the proposal of sending observers to the revolting Xyraeli territories.
<ooc>Then I'll ignore your ooc comment for the lie contained therein unless you can prove what I have said to be untrue.</ooc>How can it NOT be a national liberation movement?
