[OOC: It is not godmodding to invade you without your consent Sheep. You simply have to accept that fact and live with it. Furthermore, it is not godmodding for you to be defeated in battle after battle where your foes are both more numerous than you, have more experience than you, and have actually fought on the land before, so aren't in unfamiliar terrain. Indeed, it would be godmodding for you to declare much in the way of victories, because with the forces assembled against you (And I'd just like to drive the point home here by saying that it's not just Fonseca Treaty nations that have sided with me here. Why do you think it took days for me to respond to this? I've been coalition building.), you really have no hope.]
A public video letter to Field Marshall Philip Dunning, illegitimate ruler of Sheepsta, from the Elected Monarch of Alecrast, His Majesty the Lord-Captain Archaic of Flaim
I see you are no better than your predecessors in your manner of "negociation", constantly throwing your falsehoods around as if people were really blind enough to believe them. Have you hired Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf as a speach writer? Or are you simply arrogant enough to delude yourself into believing all this?
Firstly, I'll reiterate what has been said several times before. I am an Elected Monarch, not a King. There is a rather big difference, though I suppose a simpleton such as yourself wouldn't understand that.
By specifically stating in your 17 point plan that "All connections Sheepsta has to nuclear non-proliferation or first strike treaties are to be broken.", you acknowledged that Sheepsta continued to follow the precepts of those treaties up to that point. The United States of Sheepsta followed them, the North and South Sheepsta Protectorate governments followed them, and the so called "Unified Sheepstan Republics" did also.
Secondly, your threats of regional inter-alliance war faze us not. You do not have the military forces in your entire alliance to make a stand against the forces arrayed against you, and with Alecrast and Centralis land and sea based ABM systems, there is an effective protective barrier around the Eastern Sea Rim, preventing this war from going as far as you seem to wish it. The fact that your economies are still comparativly weak, meaning you can't sustain a war that isn't over quickly, also comes into consideration.
Thirdly, your threat that a war would result in the destruction of Alecrast is pathetic. Alecrast's military alone could take on the entire Mt. Gravatt treaty organisation and win if the need came, and that need will never come, I assure you. We do not threaten destruction of a nation. Such is not our wish. We have a great Sheepstan population in Alecrast, a Sheepstan population which would like to return home to their families if not for the oppressive regime awaiting them. We shall free the people of Sheepsta from your rule. You can choose to step down peacefully, or await the sniper's bullet or assassin's blade.
Forthly, your claim that we started this crisis is preposterous. You were the one that overthrew the established regime. We had no respect for that regime either, but that is entirely beiside the point. There was a cold war before you crashed in. There will be a final war now, because of your actions.
Finally.....step down? Only if I'm voted out of office. Opinion Polls seem to be holding steady for me, though it seems our next government will be my Cyphers and the Dustmen, not Cyphers and Sensates. I suppose that's to be expected, with this war footing. Then again, the Sensates even are dropping their pacifism in the face of your threats. Should be interesting to watch. And it will be. Though of course, it'll be delayed until after this period, when normal government instability following an election would be suicidal.
