Hi,

It could be a solution, with an international area on the peninsula, for example a international park to protect natural resource.

We will never agree to the international forces at our territory. We agree on full indepedeince of Norwich but all the lands out of this city is Slav.

[Sophanthro]

Turn 29 ==> Klair

Dear Klair, I hope you realize that the nations of the world are fully aware of the dispute, and have backed the English proposal thru a majority of votes.

[Jon]

The view of the Holy See remains that English territorial claims to both Norwich AND the peninsular are entirely valid.

The difference between the respective positions seems to be entirely one of a readiness to compromise. England, under different leadership, has always expressed a desire for a peaceful negotiated settlement whilst all SFU statements have been issued at the point of a gun.

We pray that peace should triumph in this matter.

Turn 29 sent to Ed

Dear Sophanthro, I'm not sure all the world:
English -> English
Irish -> English
Viking -> English
French -> SFU
Slav -> SFU
Slamp -> Neutral (neutral land and neutral zone)
Canadian -> Neutral (land for english but non-building area and neutral zone)
German -> Neutral ?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Slamp could I send your proposal to Ed ?

Regards,

Klair co head of SFU

[slamp]

Klair, I will send the map to Ed

I am trying to be neutral in this land crisis. On my site I try to present the issue from both sides. I do agree with a neutral border area of about two squares, but I do not agree with placing military units there. If anything like that is ever agreed to, it should be kept as a de-militarized zone. "dead" squares. The German people can not afford to keep a unit that far from home, especially when we have no interests there.

*I'm going to try and get an update in this morning, no promises tho. work has been long and hard lately.

[DON]

Well...

I'm neutral but I voted for the English proposal as I feel the city was put there by Becky, I know that city was there on turn 4. If that's the case then that city has every right to be there.

As far as claiming the land because it is on the same continent.......Well..Luk your on the same continent as me, I think you should abandon your cities and turn your land over to me...FAIR..I think not.

Security issues: I have the french and the mayans right beside me with cities very close to mine. You don't see me crying about their cities being too close. I realize that they could be a security threat and I adjust my strategy to compensate for the possible threat. Also you could wreak just as much havoc on the english (if not more)as they could to you, so it's a two way street.

Expansion: Every bloody country has a right to grow. I betcha every single nation right now is building a settler or has built a new city since the original 10. What's wrong with that. Why are the English the bad guys?

The area that you guys is arguing over is so tiny and it's all desert. sigh.....

I agree with the Irish when they say there needs to be a will to compromise, I don't see any attempt by the SFU to negotiate. And please negotiate on this messageboard so the world can see whats going on.

Turn to luk

The Canadian people think the Mayan proposal is a very good one. We are wondering what the English think of this proposal?

[Jon]

Turn 30 to Frazer.

I think it's false. I think that now Germans have contact with Vikings. So I'm not sure Ed would be impartial. But I hope it will.

As stated by ED of the Germans he has as yet had no formal links with any Nation and following his brave and lonely trek through the wilderness we are confident that it will be our Irish Ambassador who is the first to open an Embassy in Berlin.

If we, who set the standards that the rest of the World can only wonder at in terms of fairness, equity, justice, the rule of International Law and the avoidence of armed conflict, can trust the even-handedness of Ed then we would think that all others should be able to do likewise.

The Germans share a land border only with the Vikings and are far enough removed from the Norwich Peninsula to be able to make truly unbiased and objective judgement. The areas of expansion of both England and SFU have a direct impact upon all other nations. Lord Ed is not just the best choice, as both arbiter in the current dispute and as SG of the INC, but the only sensible choice.

[Sophanthro]

The English negotiators reviewed the maps submitted by the Mayans, and found them to be fair, and equitable. " We had hoped that such a proposal would have come out the SFU. " Stated John Whitman today during his visit to Norwich. He wnt on to state, " The English government had hoped for a little more, but sacrifices must be made in order to preserve peace."

When asked about Klair recent statement, he replied that we never said all of the nations supported us but a majority did. At least 5 of the nations, maybe one more, voted for our original proposal when it was before INC.
