New Sheepsta publicly announces that the war of LIBERATION has begun.

[Sheep]

Then we shall wait.

[Archaic]

In the meantime, call your troops off. They're getting slaughtered, and you don't know how long it takes to get the bloodstains off the 'dozer blades.

[Sheep]

No the glorious men and women of the Sheepstan liberation army while may not be able to beat you in open battle have the support of majority of Sheepsta's civilians and shall continue to work for the unification and liberation of our people. To allow you even the slightest respite would to allow you to dig yourselves in to keep the occuptaion of our homeland going.

[Mr. President]

One day = one year is totally screwed up in my honest opinion.

[Archaic]

Well, while you refuse to call them off, they're just getting themselves killed. Seriously, this isn't even close to being a fair fight. It might be if we had only a single unit here instead of, well, let's see......the entire North Sheepsta Brownshirts batallion, which is about 200,000 men, along with Alecrast Praetorian Guard, which is only 50,000, and whatever forces South Sheepsta and Bulbagarden are deploying......

[Giovanni Wine]

Well... according to the latest UN Military Ranking New Sheepsta was way over North and South Sheepsta (but below Alecrast) so if it was New Sheepsta alone against this Brownshirst batallion than it wouldn't be so strange if New Sheepsta was to win

Anyway, let's try to work it out at the court please, also because it seems to me that this war is going to be not just a RPG thing, but a real insult fest

Tightening of Security in Ceroo

The Democratic States of Ceroo, would like to announce that due to the tensions on the Sheepsta islands, security at all ports and airports will be stepped up in a bid to protect against any possible terrorism (large numbers of Alecrast aircraft and ships which could be potenital targets pass through Ceroo every day) and handle any new immigration problems caused by a possible influx of refugees.
In particular, our eastern-most colony, the island of Elisya (nearly 200 miles south of Alecrast) has had imposed a no-fly zone for all non-Cerooan craft over it and the port is now tightly regulated. The Endeavour and the First Fleet have been despatched from Newport on the mainland, and will be safeguarding Cerooan interests at Elisya. The main reason for Elisya receiving this extra attention is that the potential conflict could potentially produce a huge number of refugees, regardless of which side wins, and it is the closest Cerooan island to Sheepsta (although still a great distance accross Alecrast waters). Already, a small number of South Sheepstan refugees (36) have arrived. ***We would like to point out at this point, that there is no news as to why these people have fled already, and request that speculation be kept to a minimum.*** A camp is in the process of being set up, and Ceroo requests that all friendly nations prepare themselves to assist in the aid reuirements that such a humanitarian crisis would require.
Again, Ceroo would like to urge all parties to do everything possible to avert war, and hope a sensible and diplomatic solution can be found when the Court reopens.

You can chalk that up to their compulsory military service. But really now...when they have only infantry, and very poorly equiped troops, what do they expect to do against elite infantry in state of the art tanks who can call down air support at will?
[/OOC]

In other news, the following Alecrast forces have been deployed to North Sheepsta to aid in the defense against the "New Sheepstan" forces.

Infantry Regiments
Rangers (All divisions), Yokuza (Alecrast mainland and Sheepstan divisions), Pretorian Guard (All divisions), Knights of Valis (All divisions), Knights of Marmo (All divisions), Brownshirts (North Sheepsta; All divisions)

Naval Battlegroups
Sonii Battlegroup. Port Urbanised Battlegroup (North Sheepsta)

Air Force Wings
Exact forces unknown, however representatives from every major wing have been sighted. Planes seem to be largly a mixture of FW-3 "Articuno" Bombers and SA-5 "Lugia" Interceptors, though SA-4 "Ho-oh" Interceptors and FW-2 "Moltres" Bombers have also been sighted. Given the common tech of Alecrast, Bulbagarden, and the Protectorates with Air Forces, it is impossible to determine which militaries these belong to specifically.

[Drogue]

Ceroo: Akiria understands and appreciates your need of for a no fly zone, and also for immigration checks to be in place for the likely swarm of Sheepstan Refugees. However, we would like to know some of your intended measures to deal with this? Will you have a relatively 'open border' policy, or will you try to close your borders? Akiria accepts that some checks are needed, but would like to avoid Sheepstan refugees walking over the main continent since no-one will accept them. We are prepared to take a group of refugees, however this is not really practical, considering we are located on an island on the opposite side of the continent.

In terms of aid, we are already handing out aid, and have put subsidies on North and South Sheepstan products, however much of our aid package will be distributed by the Court's humanitarian aid workers on resolution of conflict and the case.

[Sheep]

The fact that Alecrast wishes to silence its critic in its ulawful occupation of Sheepstan homes through its overwhelming military force is evidence of the motives of this regime.

We do not seek to destroy Alecrast or Bulbagarden, both are nations that deserve their independence. However the same cannot be said for their views on Sheepsta. Deep within the Sheepstan jungles (yes Anarchic they are still there, I don;t care what you say, when I told you they cover 90% of the Sheepstan island) and have started guerilla campagins to liberate the Sheepstan peoples.

In this case the Sheepstan forces have more support more knowledge and more determination. We shall triumph against the evil forces of occupation!

occ: Think of me like North Vietnam and you the United States Anarchic. We have more determination, you have captalist and imperail ambitons. However the power of the people are not to be underestimated and that is why The United States lost.

EXCUSE ME? You're the one who attacked us fool. Have our troops advanced into the territories you claimed as yours? NO. We've simply slaughtered all the troops you've thrown at us.

Besides the fact that your paragraph makes no sense, it doesn't matter if you don't like it. It's established fact. Let me say it again. Rainforests don't grow back that quickly when they've been leveled by NBC.

You love your retoric about "occupation" when it's not an occupation, don't you?
Not to mention the fact that you seem to love ignoring the fact that the battleines aren't in the forests. You've had to come out onto plains to attack us, and you then run a gauntlet of arti' and air bombing.

Your analogy doesn't hold any relevance to this. Give it up with your fallacious appeals to emotion already. I don't care if you think you're more determined, or that our liberal democratic ideology is bad, or even if you think we have imperial ambitions when we've clearly demonstrated we don't. Your forces are being slaughtered, our losses are light, and the result of this conflict is now a foregone conclusion. All because you attacked us in your foolish arrogance.






The North Sheepstan military today reports only light fighting along the New Sheepstan front, with most USSNS troops hunkering down in hastily dug trenches along the edge of defoliated and mutated rainforests, making their pants as brown as the shirts of the North Sheepstan batallions after the deployment of P Power bombs by the Alecrast air force. A number of New Sheepstan forces have surrendered, and were treated for dehydration by the Brownshirts, and will reportedly make a full recovery. These POW's were said to be "awed" and "amazed" by what they'd seen of North Sheepstan life while being treated in a public hospital, and apparently said that it was nothing like they had been told it would be by their leaders. Indeed, they apparently expected to be slaughtered in their trenches while crapping themselves, but it was the simple fact that the Brownshirts only fired upon those who took an offensive posture that lead them to trying their luck with surrender.

The New Sheepstan committee denies these propoganda reports and says that the New Sheepstan forces are poised throughout Sheepsta to strike at random in an ongoing campagin to gain liberation and reunification. We announce that at least 60 Alecrastian Raangers have been killed deep within the Northern Forrest near the old capital of Lambston.

Given that no fighting has gone on except on flat terrain around the North Sheepsta border, and that there have been no Alecrast forces killed or captured, we believe that New Sheepsta should've probably gone into poppy exporting rather than trying to attack a nation so obviously superior militarily.

Frankly, the New Sheepstan leadership reminds one of the case of a certain Minister of Intelligence who claimed that there were no enemy forces in his capital city, while only 3 blocks down, the enemy troops were having their first showers in weeks in his private washroom at the ministry.

So far, estimates on the number of New Sheepstan dead hover between 2 and 3 million. Many of these people seem to have been literally run into battle with guns at their backs. Their deaths are certainly tragic and regretable, and we hope that the New Sheepstan leadership sees sense before sending more of its people to be slaughtered.

This is your final chance. Cease your attacks....or we'll make you cease them.

occ: I don;t supprt the war on Iraq I would appreciate it if you did not make any equations between the rping here and the plight of the Iraqi civilan.

[Mr. President]

It's hardly an equation. And for all you know he could be talking about any war.

I learned a couple of weeks ago that you can't be getting offended about everything you read - especially when you're wandering through the cybernetic jungle.
