The Imperium shall not be removing soldiers.
The Queen of Northan is currently seriously ill, and the Queen before her, is being treated in Australia after suffering at the hands of a terrorist.

Whilst they both still live, the Northan Throne lives on, and The Imperium cannot agree to Baffin Island being independant.

"Hmm...well, should we let this Aether Empire form in Baffin Island?"

"They seem to be a good group, so why not? Hey, wait..."

"What?"

"Do you notice anything weird in this map?"

"No, I can't see...OMG they're claiming control over two Disparuean islands!"

"Exactly."

"Disparu agrees with the Imperium of Canada. We do not support the removal of CAN troops from Baffin Island, as the Northan Throne still exists there."

OOC: Gah, was a little too greedy there wasn't I . Edit edit edit. I just placed the areas that are marked as part of Disparu back on the map as shown on the world map, but if that map isn't accurate, are there any ideas as to what areas are open?

Map Editor: [b]Give me a break, you know how crazy you'd get if you had to fill in all of those edges formed by glacial fjords? All I had to do before was maintain two small blips over in Africa on either side of the Red Sea. All I wanted for all of that was a nice summer home for me and my mother and law... with her wing located across a small ocean. But I'll fix, I'll fix.[/b]

The Aether Empire apologizes for the latest maps which show the Aether Empire as intruding upon the territory of Disparu. This was a glitch caused by an over-zealous map editor. We have take the liberty to change the map in the hopes that it will better reflect our claims. Will this be acceptable or... well do our sixth grade geography textbook authors need to make major revisions to reflect the current world environment?

Again, I am sorry, as nice as your group is, The Imperium cannot agree to your proposal, due to the Northan Throne existing.
However, the CAN now wosna ll previously owned Tahoan protectorate Islands, so any islands in the Arctic you wish, apart from baffin island, im sure we can let you prosper on.

Aether Empire Representative:[b] By God, it's a hidden part of Disparu! Why don't they claim it if it is part of their nation?[/b]

Dante:[b] I have no idea really... maybe there is something they're hiding there.[/b]

Well that's just downright silly. We surveyed the other arctic islands and we'd be feeding more polar bears then people. And perhaps even the latter to the former if we were to live there. In any case, don't feel bad. We're used to rejection. I suppose we'll find someplace to else for our glorious cause. In the future though, you really should take care to note which islands belong to someone. People get confused!

Going to find someone who will give us a more WARM reception,
Best Wishes and Cheerio,

"Ah, that's better. Carry on."

"I would like to remind the Aether representative that the Imperium of Canada's views does not necessarily reflect the CAN's views as a whole. Anyways, since it appears that your organization is already doing a great favour to the people of Baffin Island during these hard times, and is planning on doing more, we would be more than happy to support the formation of the Aether Empire in the island. While I understand that the Northanic Throne is still established in there, the Throne and its government have not done anything significant for the people of Baffin within the last few months, so perhaps they [the people] will be better served if an [i]active[/i] and [i]fully functional[/i] sovereign government is established in Baffin."

Hello, we are the newly former Hakaarian Empire. We would like to join CAN and have interest in helping the Arctic and CAN itself, grow. We may be a small nation, with only 3 islands, but we do have a possessive spirit and will in us. We only has around 22,000 soldiers (which some will be donated to CAN for protection) and a population of 400,000 people, yet are determination is like none other. We will dedicate ourselves fully to protect CAN and its interest as an entity of the world. We would like to thank Blue Heaven for the opportunity to become a respectable nation. We only would like the best for our country, and we believe the best is in CAN. Thank you and I hope you all consider our offer.

Great Lakes Provinces votes yes on Hakaarian Empire joining the CAN as a member.

Who wishes to participate in this wargame?:

[quote]Should we have a few wargames to train our military forces? Here is what I was thinking:

In the air::

-Firing range (bomber jets): Which aircraft can destroy as much targets as possible while under a time limit? Awards will also be given to whoever has the highest accuracy.

-Firing range (helicopters): Which helicopter can destroy as much targets as possible while under a time limit? Awards will also be given to whoever has the highest accuracy.

-Dog fighting (includes jet fighters and helicopters): Fighter aircraft use harmless paint-filled plastic shells and paint missiles. The shells and missiles are not to damage the aircraft. The more enemy aircraft hit and the least amount of hits taken is the winner. Bomber jets will also participate as a further reminder that no slacking are allowed.

-Aerobatic: Who are the most skillful in showing off their maneuverability abilities?
---------------------
On/In the water:

-Firing range: Which ship can destroy as much targets as possible while under a time limit? Awards will also be given to whoever has the highest accuracy.

-Battle: Which naval vessel receives the least amount of damages while inflicting the most amount on enemy ships? (All naval vessels will have secondary plastic covering over their hull with space in between). Only ammunition that can not inflict harm on the naval vessels can be used.
----------------------
On the land:

-Sharpshooting: Who can shoot the most amount of targets under a time limit? Points will be given based on what body part has been hit.
--------
Last game:

Total warfare: Aircraft, naval vessels, and ground forces all compete against each other. The one who captured the most amount of targets and hold onto them wins. All of the units are capped at a certain limit to ensure fairness.
-----------
Separate prizes will also be given for other goals accomplished, such as taking the least amount of casualties.
-----------------
EDIT: To ensure that more advanced countries don't dominate, they are capped on various sizes. For example, a country with Cold War tech will be permitted to have 10,000 soldiers. A country with beyond most other modern countries' tech will be permitted to only have 3,000 soldiers.[/quote]

"Blue Heaven votes yes on the Hakaarian Empire joining the CAN. We will also participate in the war games," said Whitney Azuma enthusiastically.

[Zoot Zoot]

The Imperial of Canada has been attacked.
The Romonov Federation fired nine anti air missiles at a RAF AWACS craft in international waters off the Coast of the Federation whilst it returned from an extended traning patrol in the South Pacific/Atlantic.

We received this message.
[b]One of your aircraft had crossed into Foundation airspace during a live fire exercise and had unfortunally been destroyed. It should be noted that the Foundation accepted no responsibility for the loss of life and expect the Imperium to keep its spy aircraft away from Foundation space from now on.[/b]

The Blackbox is currently under investigation, and if it is found that the aircraft was fired on, whilst in International waters, it will be considered an act of war against the Empire, and we shall be activating our CAN Mutual Defence Pact to aid us in the removal of the Romonov Federations Currenty Government, and brining those responsable for the murders, to heel and face charges.

[Shatner]

We in Labrador find the entire Romanov situation suspect and troubling. None of it makes sense. There was no warning from the Romanovs on approach, the Imperium can't keep track of whether its plane was in international airspace or not, as well as other logistical problems. Labrador has no clear position at this time.

[Zoot Zoot]

The transmission was traced back to a location inside international waters.
After investigations of the blackbox, the blackbox confirms the transmissions location.

The Blackbox shows the aircraft in International waters, thus making the Federations attack, an act of war.

Following a senate vote tomorrow, the Imperium will either be declaring war on the Federation, or enacting severe sanctions against them.
The USA has requested an independant investigation headed by several experts of their own to determine if the Federations attack was a legitimate one.

However, the evidence is overwhelming in the Imperiums favour due to the information the blackbox revealed.

If the CAN does not back the Imperium in its defence and retalitory attacks should they occur then we shall be sorley dissapointed and will be forced to reconsider our stance.

[Maelstrom Vortex]

The United States was well aware what was likely happening within the CAN committee given the gravity of the situation between the Imperium and the Federation, that said.. they requested a brief opportunity to act as observer and speak openly on the floor of CAN in order to outline a course of potential action that might avoid an unnecessary conflict. The nation of Disparu served as their major point of contact in making this request as a joint-ally between God's Will and CAN.

Edited June 17, 2010 by Maelstrom Vortex

[Zoot Zoot]

The Imperium grants permission to the USA to enter and speak freeley on this matter, however, observer status will need a majority vote, to which the Imperium votes yes.

[Zoot Zoot]

Further evidence has been received from the Holy American Empire condemning the Federations actions.

[quote]The Empire's statistics have confirmed several contacts in international waters at the time you have indicated, and it appears that they are all within international waters; including the one which disappeared from our screens. Unfortunately our radar was mostly powered down and received extremely weak reception, so we cannot confirm or deny what was shot down, or even if it WAS a missile.

Emperor Holihan.[/quote]

[Shatner]

Labrador is open to allowing a US delegate to enter for this matter, but votes no to observer status. We feel that outsiders are attempting to expand their global influence, here in the negative sense, through joining our confederation, first and foremost embodied by France. We are not yet trusting enough of the US to allow them a permanent position within the Confederation, especially since their only reason to come forward will be a temporary matter.

[Zoot Zoot]

General Lewis stood, a grave look on his face.

"Labrador should note that Observer status only means they can sit in on the meeting unless highly classified, they have no say in the happenings of the CAN.

Secondly, the collected evidence from Imperial investigators, Holy American Empire radar reports, the location of the crash site and charter from the airbase which specifies the aircraft was on exercise, leads the Imperium of Canada down two roads.

One of war, in which the Imperium will exact a terrible vengence on the Romonov Federation for their attack, and utterly destroy them as a functioning Government.
Or one of sanctions and blockade, which will not only harm the civilian population, being in Antarctica food cannot be grown and they will all starve to death or resort to sub human means of survival such as canniblism or worse, and force them down onto their knees and beg for forgivness for the unlawful murder of twenty three members of the Imperial Airforce.

The Senate is voting on the issue as I speak, the Emperor and Empress are preparing an address to the Nation, concerning both outcomes.
With the Imperium being attacked first, if a war vote is put forward, we will activate our MDP with the CAN."

[Maelstrom Vortex]

The U.S. Delegate, Henry Jones walked forward quietly. "Before anyone acts, I strongly recommend waiting for the results of the investigation.. if permitted. It is possible they are telling the truth and that their instruments detected a violation of airspace in error or not. The investigation will establish the means of detection and decision parameters of the programming and determine whether the attack was intentional or accidental. If it was accidental the level of negligence cannot be ignored, but it can be compensated. If intentional.. well then.. I will let the rest of you decide how you wish to react on that, but the U.S. will not intervene in such matters. It's not our role other than to act as an unbiased means of gathering and relaying data about the incident in order to find the truth."

[Shatner]

We understand what observer status entails. We also understand that a couple CAN nations are allies of the US and may simply want to bring them in. My point remains, the only concern the US has with us is temporary. It would make no political sense to make the US for all intents and purposes a permanent observer if their only situational connection is gone within months. Our vote remains no.

As for the matter at hand, Labrador will put forward what few troops we have to safeguard the Imperium's homeland. A defensive clause in now way obligates us to send troops into a foreign war, meaning that as far as we are concerned, the level of retribution you wish to exact is but your decision alone. We would however suggest sanctions and blockade in addition to war, why must they be considered separately. The fact that this nation uses automated defenses that are incompetently staffed and unable to be effectively curtailed by their own operators is not only grossly imprudent, it is also a threat to international security. Considering the Foundations aggressiveness and lack of remorse or sympathy concerning the situation, we would advocate a strike.

[Zoot Zoot]

Well then Mr Jones, you have 24 hours to announce the results of the investigation before the Imperium responds to the Federations attack.

[Shatner]

Also, to bolster my previous point, attacking the oother nation would be a retaliatory invasion, not a defense. An activation of a defense clause is not possible when the treaty partner is fighting on foreign soil as an invasive force.
