From the personal archives of Dr. Karman El :
…
21 Dec. 2099- Deceleration has been successfully completed and our ship began initial orbit of Jupiter today. The rest of the convoy is scheduled to arrive over the next 10 days, with the exception of the escort that developed engine troubles and the delayed cargo pods, both of which, I am told, should show up by the end of January. Initial status checks show that almost all the pre-deploy equipment is in working order, and the vanguard is preparing to descend now to fix or salvage the malfunctioned pods.

23 Dec. 2099- The majority of the fleet is beginning to switch over to Europa orbit now. TT-014 begins burn in just over half an hour now…

24 Dec. 2099- The first landing ships have descended and initial structures are currently being set up. Learned last shift that there were software errors or somesuch in the nav cycle, the TTs all got out of correct orbit. Looks like the –014 won’t have to wait for too long, but several ships came much farther away than expected, and one, the –006, I think, may have to wait an extra couple weeks while they figure out how to shift the right amount of fuel to get back into proper course…

29 Dec. 2099- Landed today. Only had a brief time to get acquainted with my new residence, in Green Hall, before reporting to work roster. Green Hall is still in the process of being assembled, and the future residents of Red, Yellow, and Blue Halls are still living in temporary shelters…
3 Jan. 2100- Construction dominates the new colony, Virtue City. I feel somewhat out of place, as professionals such as my self have little to do yet, so have been temporarily assigned to labor stints or whatever else needs doing and can be done with almost no instruction. However, I look forward to when the essentials have been put in place and I can start doing my real job, especially when the next colonies are founded…

SUMMARY:
Found colony on Europa. Over the course of the next 5-15 years, expand facilities and sustenance and industrial capabilities in colonial structure, found new Europan bases, establish escorted trade/supply lines.

The United States has now plans to put a Space Navy base and Science Station on Jupitor moons. Also new construction of Space Naval Ships is under way.

[Sheep]

The United Lunar States has plans of spreading to Venus. As a consquence it had advised all other nations that we claim Venus as our soverign territory.

We also have the offers on the tables to all nations with Luna territory. We propose that it should be united with us. In return the Luna States will sign an act of nutrality on Earth and promise to not interfere with any wars. Futhermore Lunaian ports will be opened to all navies and traders, except for navies at war.

Excerpt from the diaries of Space Minister Jonathan King, August 17, 2098:

"The situation is tense right now, as the Lunaians are trying to colonize more planets and other nations are trying to establish more bases elsewhere. I have informed Prime Minister Williams that if Britain is to suceed, we will have to spend less money on Earth matters and more on interstellar travel. He seemed to want to, but was not sure about the Parliament's reaction, because we are in a budget crisis here at home. However, the Prime Minister and I feel that they can be convinced."

Statement Issued by the Royal Ministry for Space Exploration and Travel, August 24, 2098

"It is His Majesty's intention to set out to explore and colonize the depths of our solar system and of space. Therefore, new forays will be made into the outer extents of our solar system. Effective today, the British government will pursue a policy of setting up many space colonies to benefit her and her allies in the USA, Russia, and Canada. The first probes will be sent to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter this year to look for minerals in the asteroids."

To United Kingdom:
From United States:

Would you like to help in the construction of the moon bases on Jupiters moons? Our navy has secured the area of space to ensure that no other nations can lay claim to that area of space.
Secert:
Something must be done about the United Lunar States. They have already threaten earth with the use of nuclear weapons. The United States can not lose its bases on the moon and I am sure that you are in a simular postion. We must come up with a plan to stop the lunar states.

OOC: have you blockaded China's Jupiter possessions?

Ohhhhh.... My favorite NES once again up and running.

I'll take Italy once again.

New Italian Empire - Torino - Throne Room
Raffaello, the Italian Emperor was looking at his world map, the New Italian Empire have managed to become a new power to be reckoned with, it was amazing what he managed to achieve in only 57 years, he still remembered the days of the Italian civil war, when he was fighting along side the Royalist forces against the Repubblicans, in order to restore the Monarchy. He still remember the day when King Emanuele Filiberto was killed heirless by a bullet, fired by a young Repubblican soldier, the King was dead, but in his last breath he appointed him: General Raffaello, the new King of Italy.

In the end the Monarchist won, the old Repubblic was replaced by the so called "New Repubblic": the only repubblic in the world where there is a King... or better an Emperor.

Yes, because the war was not over yet, the reborn Persian Empire Armies were marching through Turkey, leaving a wasteland behind them. They were threatning Europe... It was time for a last crusade: he thought. Quickly at the head of his legions he marched through the Balkan territories, proclaiming that he would have stopped the Persians, many nations welcomed their new Italian lord, knowing that anything was better than the Persians.

Finally he arrived in Greece, were his legions, tired for the long travel met against the Persian hordes at Thessaloniki. The battle will forever be remembered as the bloodiest battle of all the 21st century, many people felt they had fallen back to the medieval time, and that they were fighting the "infidels"... but it was not, it was the year 2041, and they were fighting against one of the most advanced army in the world.

In the end it was a Persian victory, the two Empires signed a peace treaty, and Greece was added to the Persian realms. But one day, he thought, he will destroy the Persians once and for all.

Today all the ethnicities of the New Italian Empire are perfectly integrated. Croatians, Serbian, Albanian, Rumenian, Bulgarians, Italians and even Swiss are now citizen of this new, rising Empire. The only repubblic with an Emperor.

Knock - Knock

The knocking brought Emperor Raffaello back to the real time.

"Come in" he said

It was the young Giovanni del Vino, a very talented boy that was also his first advisor

"What news do you bring me Giovanni?" he said

"Prime Minister Alessandro would like to ask your permission in order to increase the Space Navy, the ISA (Italian Space Agency) have created a new and faster spaceship, and our minister of the Defence, Mr. Leo would like to make that new craft our prime spacecraft"

"What would you do Giovanni?"

"uh??.... me sire?.... well personally I would grant him the permission... but.... uh... well.... "

"That's it Giovanni, I'm 87 years old, I've fought two wars: one against Persia, and the other one against my Italian brothers, I think I've done enough damages... it is time for someone to take my seat.... and that someone is you.... I've already organized everything, the ceremony will be held next month, and in January you will be proclaimed the New Emperor of the Italian People... All I need now is an answer from you... do you accept to become the new Emperor?"

"......."

"So?... Do you accept?"

"... y....YES Sire.... I accept"

"Perfect"

To: China, United States
From: Italy

We see that your nations are trying to settle colonies on Jupiter, Italy too is interested on Jupiter moons, and we would like to settle our claims on Ganymede and possibly Callisto. For this reason we would like to work out a Treaty with your nations so that we might all find a peaceful partition, and help each other in our space colonization efforts.

China to Italy and United States:

We agree that a treaty is in order. We also believe that for the larger moons, sole ownership is not only unreasonable but harmful. Territorial claims over asteroids and small moons must be respected, but having neighboring colonies on large moons is not only acceptable but beneficial, allowing us to pool our efforts in development, if desirable, and aid each other in any crises that may come up. Much better than each having a moon with vast tracts unsettled when some may make use of it. Furthermore, with our combined space power, we can reserve the Jovian system for our three respective alliances. What say you?

The colonisation of the planet of Venus was set forth using superior construction knowledge of planetary colonies. Soon the purfication of Venus atmosphere would begin.

To the Earthly powers

We are looking for partners in our explortion of the planet venus, a part of the United Luna States. Futhermore this will come with full docking rights on Luna Ports.

[foolish_icarus]

China to Luna:

What exactly are you proposing in regards to Venus?

EDIT: And I have some actions i want to officially start now, but I don't want to post the specifics until the ambiguity over US's action in Jupiter is resolved.

[Sheep]

You would be allowed to own corporations trading in Venus and settle people there. WHile it would be nomnally under the UL's conrol we would allow for some measure of Chinese input.
