Tales from the Diplomatic Front VI

[Frank Johnson]

I am not demanding any particular action on the part of land, just displaying my general displeasure of the entire situation and attitude of the Romans and their allies.

Rome claims to owe others, and make noble sacrifices, but let's be honest. Its the Texans and Fountainians who are REALLY making the sacrifices currently. Rome knows nothing of sacrifice, and to say that they do is insulting.

Who has settlers posied and ready to enter these new lands? Texas and Fountainia. Instead we are expected to leave a contient the size of Texas and a half to a power whom with out special help doesn't have a snowball's chance in heck of ever settling and defending it. Texas feels its claims have always been backed up with suitable amounts of power, power which Rome lacks to make similar claims on a larger, more fertile land mass.

I don't see how Rome managed to adopt a Texan polacy with the lack of power they have. Even Texas with the world's strongest military shares territory with 2 other powers on my home contient. I felt as I superpower, almost considered "good enough to stand on my own" that I could adopt, and back up if necessisary a polacy of no new foreigners on Texas. Certainly, some of the area's adjancant to core Roman areas should remain in your sphere of influance, but I don't see you as the type of power capable of such a task, greater than that of the Defense of Texas. As a result, every word that comes out of your mouth is hypocritical towards Texas. You call for peace, but subtily threaten war from the FUC if lands out of your grasp aren't left for you, so you can appease your allies with lesser lands.

Basicly I sense a general lack of graditude toward the Texans for all of their consessions toward the agressive FUC. Rome claims to be sacrificing their home land for their friends, but they are merely using an allinace as a wedge to steal land from others, land which they have no right to other than in the dillisional minds of those whom think they can imitate Texas without the power of Texas.

I do not like the way the world is. I can not be untrue to my feelings. Take this as your warning. Try no such trickery in the future. Texas has had their fill. If foreign alliances ever see it necessary to test the power of Texas, they are invited to the feild of honor. If needed Texas will earn the honor there that is always denied them in negoiations.

So tismight that makes right then?
and Rome has no intentions of rewarding the Sioux with inferior lands.


It is becoming sadly appearant to Rome that Texas has no intention of ever participating in a global accord of eternal peace. We pray that we be mistaken. You say Rome is unwilling to sacrifice for peace. But we will soon see who desires peace. It should be appearant that Rome would be fearful of a forign power having a substantial presence on Roman soil, but there would be no such fear if the forign power were allied to Rome.

Rome is prepared to return the land ceeded to Rome by Texas without compensation, and will give the land to Empress that she requested in return for any land that she may see fit to offer in return, even though it may be desert. In return I ask only that your two great nations join the FCU. Obviously such a deal pends upon acceptance of my allies of your admittance to the FCU, and upon agreement of the Sioux over the land, although Rome's generosity to her ally shall not be curtailed due to these lands given. Let us end the isolation of Texas for ever. I have no doubt that you can stand on your own two feet, but is it not better to stand with friends?

[hydey]

The past few centuries have been very peaceful as the mighty SIOUX empire along with their powerful FUC allies concentrated on peaceful pursuits of Trade and diplomacy
many new cities were built and many treaty's signed. Much gift giving was enabled within our great allience and all appears well, although borders may be challenged in the futore as new land for expansion becomes scarse. The great SIOUX chief HYDEY HO the living GOD fears others may not follow our peaceful ways and those of FUC ,they may wish to force their way onto our lands . We warn any who intend this our defenses are mighty and no prisoners will be spared.

As the Great Raz returend to his people, he looked around and appreciated the job his underling Finbar the mighty had done, he was so impressed that the new Territories ceded to us by Texas were named in his honour.

The only unfortunate thing was that The mighty Finbar had palced so many of our units in sleep mode that it took the great RAz many years to fully get his civ going again, apparently conversations with Finbar do usually lead to the other party falling alseep.

So with all units fully activated , we set about building more infrstructure on our small island home, and sending our goods as trade through out the lands.

A quick discussion was held re all known civs joinig the FUC allaince but it was felt that the other civs namely Texans and Fountinians would eventually want to break from allaince to pursue their own goals, so to prevent any angst later we voted no to this suggestion, but asked for world wide peace treaties and agreemtn on all borders.

As part of our global exploration , we met up with the mighty Spanish civilisation and although they had much good land free for settling , none was ceded to us. It is fortuante that the Texans gave us land earlier as without that we would now be over crowded. As it is our people are looking longingly to other inhabited spots of world and are wondering why their leadr doesnt possess these vacant lands for himself. Our people dont understnad the global peace plan.

please refer latest power graph and agreed borders map...

As can be seen fro mattacehd map, many changes have occured since last cartographers passed away.. Roman lands not as big as firs tthought with much ocean breaking it up, but the land he has is better than most others with much grassland too. Sioux and Roman agreement of land share has reulted in more land for Sioux on Roman soil and includes area currently containing one Roman city. Deitys land in Spain has been reduced after meeting Spainish leader and coming to an agreement, although Spainish leader not completely happy with deal, he wanted all lands for himself. Mad Monks have gained no more lands but have cultivated their own and are growing daily in population, with little unexplored terrotory left the Mad Monks hope their allys can spare them some. The Texans gained more land from Rome and Texan/ Fountinian border re-established.

damn link didnt work reposted below..

With the world's boarders set, and most of the inhabitable land explored, and almost inhabited, Texas is looking forward to peace, calm and development.

In the last session, Texas manged to settle most of its remaining frontier with the establishment of 4 new cities. Besides a few planned canal projects in hostile areas, which will make traveling this world a bit easier, not much remains unsettled.

I await the next session.

The Land of Fountainia continues to prosper as two new cities were founded and many improvements have been made to the terrian of existing cities. Temples have now been built in all cities and the people are content. The Empress wishes to thank the Mighty Texans for the enduring support in setting aside a nice spot of grass land with an exquisite view of whales gracing the ocean. May our friendship endure forver.
However, the Empress is a little distressed over the rising power of the F.U.C., as they are drawing on the resources of 4 vast and growing nations. Also, most of Fountainia is now colonized and the Royal city planners are worried about the future of possible expansion. Regardless, the the people are optimistic and look forward to the continuation of world peace.

THE DEITY is leaving Planet Diplo IV!
The omni-present one is not yet quite present on planet Diplo VI though
His coming is imminent, however.
Captain Deiticus is a little concerned about the state of world affairs and the severe shortage of land for THE DEITIAN Kingdom. He feels he needs to expand the territorial claims of THE DEITIANS and has started counting grassland squares, forest squares..... oh God, how boring but if a job needs to be done to equalise the planets resources then none better than the Captain to sort it out. For, if he does not he may suffer the displeasure of THE DEITY when he arrives.
Be prepared for religious conversions on a global scale
