[center][img]http://members.cox.net/keystroke1/Blue_Jeru_Cross2d.png[/img][/center] The New Polar Order officially asked the Christian Coalition of Countries to activate the Frozen Holy Water Pact. They requested we strike FOK. We will comply because of the great abundance of love we have for one of our oldest allies, but we do not do so with any malice for FOK. In recent times we had been growing closer together, and we certainly hope this continues in spite of the present conflict. This declaration of war represents no disrespect for FOK. Indeed, our respect for them remains very high. We consider it a great honour to be asked to take on such a formidable opponent, both because of what it says about how we have grown in capabilities and because we know our opponent is worthy of the utmost respect and admiration. We hope that this conflict is swiftly settled and we can resume our warming relations with FOK. We call upon all CCC members to show only the greatest respect and honour to FOK. To FOK we say that we look forward to an honourable and good fight. May blessings be upon us all. We the undersigned, Ichabod - Chancellor Keystroke - Vice Chancellor Ogden Chichester - Minister of Foreign Affairs Kaptain Aoto - Minister of Internal Affairs KingChris - Minister of Defense

[quote name='Sal Paradise' timestamp='1295636469' post='2589389'] The Court of Cassation will be reviewing the legality of this secession. The Revolutionary Federation is concerned that this government does not have the consent of the people and infringes on the rights of Revolutionary Federation citizens. All articles of the [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=95214&view=findpost&p=2526803"]Rights of Man[/url] are of concern, but as far as this declaration goes, with the formation of a monarchy and an official religion, the Revolutionary Federation is concerned specifically with the following: We ask that the new government of the collected communes of Manche co-operate and provide us with evidence that they will respect the rights of citizens in their new autonomous state. [/quote] As Corona is a semi-constitutional monarchy, the structure of its government is similar to that of the former United Kingdom. This country was a monarchy with an official religion of Anglicanism, yet all citizens had rights and were never forced under any circumstances to convert. We vow to follow this example and to respect all of the rights as established in the Rights of Man.

***PRIVATE*** In a security base near Washington, Private First Class Eric Klevenger was assigned radar duty that day. He never enjoyed radar duty. It was extremely tedious, and rarely anything happened. He started to stray away from his duty. He thought about the next time he would be on leave: about four months away. Eric went off in his mind to visit the red, brick three-story house in Oklahoma that he lived in when he was young. Ah, the memories he had there. The house sat next to a lake, and the lake had been filled with salmon for sport. He remembered the day he caught his first fish: March 23rd, 1982. He had been waiting for hours with his dad, who enjoyed fishing. After awhile, his dad had gone inside to get some lemonade. While his dad was inside, he felt a tug, and when Eric finished reeling in what he caught, a nice 3-pound red salmon hung on the end of his fishing rod. Ecstatic, he ran inside with the fish, not even stopping to tell his family. Arriving at his room, he grabbed a nail and a hammer and nailed the fish to his wall. He felt so proud; he had finally done it on his own. He then went back down to keep fishing for another one. A couple days later, the entire house reeked of dead fish. It took hours for his mother to find the source, but eventually she stumbled on the corpse nailed on her son’s wall. Eric tried to explain: it was his first fish. He wanted to keep it as a souvenir trophy to remind him of the first time he made such an accomplishment. His mind then drifted to his little league football championship. That day, it was raining hard, and the field was torn up. It was impossible to run more than six yards in that mess, and the football was almost as difficult to catch. As a linebacker, he managed to force six fumbles that game due to the tremendous feat for the offensive players to even hold on to the wet football. On the last play in the 4th quarter, the score was tied 13-13. Eric had forced a fumble near the opposing team’s own endzone, and a cornerback picked up the ball and ran it down the field. Unfortunately, he slipped at the 2-yard line and time ran out. It was ok though, because his team was later able to kick a field goal in overtime. That reminded him: the UT vs. OU game was the next day. Being an OU graduate, he hated UT with a passion. He remembered going to one Red River Shootout in his senior year with his friend Erin. It was also a very close game, and the Longhorns won by one point thanks to a last minute field goal. Disappointed at that result, Klevenger looked forward to an OU victory. The Sooners had to win; they’d lost the past 13 meetings with the Longhorns. All that thinking made him sleepy, so he rested his head in the palm of his hand and started to doze off. In his dream, he dreamed of his best friend in college, Erin. It was just a conversation on memories. Erin constantly brought up her “hate” for him, recalling the numerous things and quotes they exchanged with each other. One time, Eric had baked a pie for Erin for her birthday, but when she ate it, she was shocked to discover a swarm of spiders crawling inside. For revenge, she took him to an OU-Missouri game and publicly embarrassed him by getting him midfield and then pulling his pants down in front of 60,000 people. Thus started such a huge rivalry between the two, filled with fun pranks and funny, harsh comments on each other. Whenever Eric dressed up for a dance, Erin would either comment on anything hideous on him or pretend to be in shock at the fact that Eric could clean himself up. Eric would always respond by jokingly smacking Erin and referring to her as a prominicuous @#$%. The conversation also included how one time, Erin had bought Eric an outhouse calendar “to reflect his personality.” Before he could respond, he woke up. An hour had passed, and surprisingly, no one had realized that he had dozed off. He looked at the radar and noticed that four blips were streaking toward the point labeled “Washington.” Nothing to worry about. He started to doze off again, and a few minutes later, he woke back up to the sight of the radar. The four dots were now closer to the Washington point. Whatever. But he came to his senses and realized that these moving blips were missiles aimed for the capital. In chaos, he called his superior over. Once the Lieutenant realized what was happening, he phoned the commanding officer, who in turn ordered all government officials to be evacuated to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. He then ordered nearby aircraft to shoot the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles down. In the Presidential Emergency Operations Center and in that base, officials nervously watched the radar. One blip disappeared. Then a second. Then a third. For some reason, the fourth blip wasn’t going down. Everyone watched intensely as the blip got closer and closer to the ground. Then suddenly, it disappeared like the others. The people in the base didn’t watch it go away because they were destroyed. Those in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center heard a roaring boom up above. The missile had hit its target. The generals in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center did a count to see who was missing. Everyone they could’ve gotten it was in, except for the Secretary of State. Unfortunately, no one was allowed back out to look for him. If he wasn’t in that room, the only thing anyone could do was wait for news. In the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, they kept in contact with high ranking officials outside the area, as well as news reports. It was only a few minutes before he and his aides saw Harland’s speech on television: "Citizens of the Empire, and people of Planet Bob, I come before you tonight under the gravest of circumstances. For too long, incompetence has been allowed to rule North America. As we have seen recently, many old empires have fallen, paving the way for a new and brighter future on our great continent. Today is another of those days. With the power vested in me, ten minutes ago the Empire of Pravus Ingruo declared war on the United States of America. Troops are moving across the border as we speak." "There may be calls that this is an imperialistic move, meant only to gain more land. Anyone who has even the slightest recollection of history will know that this is not the case. Any nation led by myself has never been one after more land. We have been content to stay a small nation, however the cries of our brethren to our south have reached our ears, and we shall free them from a corrupt, ineffective, and weak government." "To the United States, I call for your unconditional surrender. Surrender now, before any blood is spilled and you will not only keep your government, but your land and your ability to exist. Resist, and be cast aside for the fourth time in history. The United States fell once, then I myself helped bring down a second incarnation before Thomas Dobbs helped bring about the downfall of a third. Spare yourselves the humiliation at being known as the men who stood at the helm as the fourth went down in flames." "To the rest of the world, I call upon you to honor this new North America. The bastions of liberty and strength no longer reside in the nations wishing for a bygone era. They are in the nations embracing the new era, nations such as Pravus Ingruo and J Andres. Together, we shall build a peaceful and prosperous North America for all peoples. The age of the United States is gone, evidenced in their ineffective and squabbling government. Great times call for great people to rise up and do great things. This is our great time. We are the great people. And we will do great things. For this nation has a Manifest Destiny, one that stretches from York to Florida... that one day, all peoples there will be united under the banner of liberty, strength, and freedom that is the Empire of Pravus Ingruo." "Think hard about your decision, United States, but decide quickly. There is no middle ground. There is surrender, or oblivion." Johnson could only scoff at the Emperor’s illogical claims. “Corrupt, ineffective, and weak government? Many would disagree on that. Not imperialistic of a move? You idiot, you’re rambling about Manifest Destiny. Banner of liberty, strength, and freedom? We started that, fool. And of course you and your people would help bring down versions of the United States; you were just power hungry. How would we be able to keep our freedom under your reign? And you call us to surrender, but you wiped out 600,000 while doing so. We might’ve considered it before, but how can we now?” Later, he would be receiving notifications of offers of support from numerous countries, but he only had one in mind that he truly wanted: J Andres. J Andres, and its predecessor, New England, had been one of the first friends of some of the states that made up the United States: the Commonwealth, Rebel Virginia, the FRA, Tahoe. But when the United States was attacked, J Andres hid, declared neutrality, and abandoned the MDoAP it had with the United States. What traitorous cowards they were. Turning to aides, he asked, “Who are our allies, and who are our possible enemies?” Blue Heaven, Disparu, Himynamistan, and Puerto Rico would like come and help if we asked. Other nations such as Idaho, and the Order of St. Aquitane, had also offered moral support at the least. Unfortunately, the list of possible enemies was larger. Of course, there was Pravus Ingruo. The Imperial States of America had recently had a regime change that conveniently coincided with Pravus Ingruo’s declaration of war. The GLP was no friend either. And then, since we received no word from J Andres, for all we know, they could be assisting Pravus Ingruo. Through video chat, he discussed with other government members on the possibility of accepting aid. Some wanted to reject it outright. Johnson had a different idea: allow them in and keep them deep inside borders on standby. Following this, he went off to write his speech. After long hours, he appeared on all television channels in the United States and gave a message to the American people: “Fellow citizens, I speak to you today, right now, safe in a secure, undisclosed location, and completely unharmed. This is the same for the majority of the Executive Branch. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you all that this is not the same for many of our brothers and sisters. We are here in the middle of the hour of grief. So many have suffered such a great loss, and today, we come to God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for all of those who they loved and love them. The United States was at peace with the Empire of Pravus Ingruo and, at the solicitation of the Emperor, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in North America. But yesterday, our beloved country was deliberately attacked by four intercontinental ballistic missiles from the Empire of Pravus Ingruo. Three of them were shot down by fighter planes, but one went through and struck our nation’s capital. In the attack, 300,000 people perished in an act of massive disregard for human life. War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. The Emperor demanded that I surrender our beloved states to his Empire. How could I do that after he wiped out an entire city? We will not surrender. We will never surrender. We will fight on until we die. Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will someday emerge victorious. I believe I interpret the will of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. My people, we shall fight to the end. We shall meet the enemy wherever he hides. We shall defend our home, our family, and our liberty, no matter what cost. Like the might bald eagle that represents our country, we shall swoop down and take them by surprise. And most importantly, even if we eventually fall, we shall never give in. And at the end, we shall all see each other once again. At this time, I am enacting martial law and calling all military troops to report. Through unity and courage, we shall defend our land. May God be with us all, and may God bless these United States of America.” Shortly after, National Guard Sgt. Dylan MacElroy received a phone call. He resided in a home in southern Pennsylvania with his wife, Brittany, and two children. As he listened, he took a glance at his family. His wife was making spaghetti in the kitchen. His children were playing on the swing set he built in the backyard. When he hung up, he went over to his wife, hugged her from behind, and looked forward to dinner. A couple hours after eating, with his children getting ready for bed, he broke the news to his wife: “I’m being called back. They’re deploying me to one of the borders.” His wife hugged back and whispered to him to be careful. They got up, and he went to tell his kids that he had to go back to work again. The next morning, he was packed up and ready to go. In Texas, the 3rd Army of the United States would be deploying along the borders of the Amerikanisches Reich and of J Andrean Louisiana. Troops would be in the Nacogdoches area when General Sweeney would hear word of “An invasion from the east side of I-20.” Glancing at maps, he noted that I-20 would lead to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and a loss there would devastate the country. As a result, the majority of the 3rd Army loaded into their tanks and humvees and rushed to the invading enemy. The rest would continue deploying along the borders and set up sensors and traps for the invaders. The border guards would still be fighting off the invading Imperial Army when the 3rd Army arrived. With textbook swiftness, infantrymen armed themselves with M47 Dragons and M240B’s to take on the Imperialists. M110 cannons would assist them. Some hopped onto Apache helicopters, which would shoot down at the enemy. With no ISA air superiority in Texas, the copters would only be lightly escorted. For the shooters up high, it would not be murder: it would be defense for the glory of Democracy. They shot wildly into the masses, enjoying the sight of every man slumping down from their shots. For them, this was revenge for trying to take what was sacred to America. One man, Shane O’Neil, recalled the Celtic tune he’d always listen to before squeezing out retribution: (OOC: English Translation. Cookies to whoever can point out what song is translated from these lyrics.) I waited, I waited a long time In the shadow of the towers dark brown In the shadow of the towers dark brown In the dark shadow of rain towers You always see me wait You always see me wait One day it will Above the seas, over the fields One day it will, Above campaigns, above the seas Green will wind And carry with him my wounded heart Get angry on the roads It will, to spray In the dark shadow of the towers black Thanks to its breath, I would be won Far in the course in another country I would be won, thanks to its breath Far in the current, according to his desire According to his desire, far from this world Between the sea and the stars The 2nd Army would be deploying along the border with the ISA. It was quite fortunate for them to do so, as the ISA was spilling out into the country. On the Arkansas front, the two armies met near the Arkansas River. In Tennessee, it would be near Fayetteville and Chattanooga. In all three locations, the infantrymen would employ the same procedures as those in Longview. Copters would not be boarded and flown due to the ISA’s air superiority missions in the area. Fayetteville was top priority of these three. Citizens of Nashville had taken refuge at Vanderbilt University, and if it was taken, hundreds of thousands of lives would be in jeopardy. In Memphis, the troops would take on the same weaponry currently being used: Lightweight Howitzer 777, SA-7 IRSAM, and the Patriot ground-air missile defense. The other side of the United States was under attack. Classified location: “Mr. President, as you can see from this satellite imagery, the states of Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee are being attacked by the Imperial States of America.” “Dear God…well, I really don’t blame them for doing so. With the more powerful Empire of Pravus Ingruo ranting on about Manifest Destiny, they really have no choice but to act in a similar manner to avoid getting conquered. Well the Empire will never have the chance to even consider it!” He slammed his fist on the table with every one of the last three words. “For now, our goal in the south isn’t to defeat the ISA. It’s to hold the ISA troops back until we prove to them that the Empire of Pravus Ingruo can not emerge victorious. Then we shall see what will occur.” “Yes, sir.”

OOC: Sorry, been away for awhile. Back now. IC: Although caught up in war, the USA would send a representative to the BPE.

30,000 troops would be sent up north to combat the invading troops through I-81, I-84, I-86, and everywhere in the New Jersey Metroplex. The rest of them would be stationed on all borders in case of any other attack. All troops would be armed with M-240b machine guns and M-9 pistols. OOC: Keep in mind, these are my troops only, not mykep's. Official response to attacks to come later.

In other words, Montana is now a protectorate of J Andres. We kindly ask you to withdraw from the region. Thank you and have a nice day." [b]CLASSIFIED ACTIONS[/b] Troops alongside the northern border of Colorado and Utah were placed in a high state of alert, ready to move in at a moment's notice. Moreover, the skies above Colorado were made off-limits, as squadrons of aircrafts began to patrol the skies of Colorado; Colorado's southern borders were sealed.

Don't wanna mess up during a Broncos game." "Psh, who cares about the Broncos?" "Meh. Just tell the lieutenant down below." A bit later... [b]PRIVATE TO J ANDRES[/b] "Hey, uh, what are you doing over Colorado? We know we have an MDoAP with you, but uh, we're not sure why you're over here. If there's some war activity going on with you guys in Utah, that's fine. But in all seriousness, if you wanna pay us a visit, we'd prefer you do it in person instead of with jets. You almost ruined our football game " OOC: Jed, Colorado iz mine.

OOC: Nein. I posted first. Therefore, land iz mine.
