Kicking and screaming in the back channels trying to get peace for yourself over your blocmates doesn't usually engender love and care from other alliances. Sparta as a whole still emits a grating sucking sound wherever it goes.
You're right. The honourable thing would be to refuse to enter in the assistance of our blocmates for weeks, or to divert support from them, and to insist on permawar for ourselves, while claiming our actions as a part of a bloc have no impact on anyone else. How [i]dare[/i] Sparta be the last alliance on its front to initiate peace talks. What horrible scum we are.

You know, after digesting this momentous piece of news I'm trying to figure out whether Sparta's choice to get rid of its former XX allies (my uninformed guess is that Polar cancelled in response to Sparta's own cancellations, but I might be wrong of course: haven't paid attention of late) is either a good one or bad one. On one hand they lose some allies that have stood with them through thick and thin, on the other hand the idea of getting rid of possible conflicting ties is a smart one realpolitik-wise.
The real question is another tho: does Sparta have a paved road already for its future moves, or is this a bet aimed at baiting the interest of potential allies? Either time will tell, or you can spill the truth on these boards right now >_>Wait and see, man. :P

Gotcha Sparta!!!!
Too late! We're out, doesn't count, etc etc etc. :P Nice damage, though. We'll race ya to the top again next war.

Hope this is just the beginning of cuts.
Maybe. We'll see what some folks wanna do. ;)

Sparta withdraws from the Dos Equis bloc. It's been a fun few years, but it's time to move on.
Sparta cancels the following treaties: Fark, the Mostly Harmless Alliance, and MI6.
To all these friends and partners, we wish you nothing but the best of luck. It's an unfortunate truth that our political interests no longer align, and our paths must now diverge. Perhaps we'll reunite again some day. Until then, enjoy yourselves, and don't forget to stop by for a beer sometime.
Additionally, the treaty between Sparta and the New Polar Order has been canceled. Well wishes to old friends.

Congratulations. Those are some mighty fine protectors you got there.

Enjoy your peace-nap until it's time to fight again.

Wipe me off the map. I'm done here.

I don't see the point. Just treat nukes as another stat to be saved with the stat saving rule.

Though the conflict in Bulgaria has ended, tensions remain high between Greece and Yugoslavia. Citing the unpredictable, and aggressive, nature of Yugoslavia's responses, specifically the incident regarding a Yugoslav naval group attempting to infiltrate Greek waters, the government has ordered an increase of fortifications along the northern border. The additional reserves, initially called up for the Bulgaria crisis, have now been deployed along the border with Macedonia, while other units are entrenched along Albania's southern border.
The government has announced that Greek territorial waters, and those held by Greece as protectorates, are closed to Yugoslav military vessels. Civilian shipping, so long as it pays any relevant taxes, remains free to utilize Greek waterways.

"We would be honoured to provide housing for Northlandic forces in either location. Crete would be the more crowded, being as it is closer to our mainland defenses, though Cyprus has bases assigned to the defense of the Suez. Whether you wish to reach out into Europe, or to West Asia or North Africa, I suppose is the determining factor. I'll have our Minister of Defense coordinate any details with your own military."

“War isn't always the answer,” Arista set aside her now empty coffee cup, and folded her hands in her lap. She sat across from a small field table from General Kazilieris, at the Greek command center in Bulgaria. “The Yugoslavs are withdrawing, and not a single Greek life was lost. Your way would have entangled us in nothing but bloodshed and violence for years to come.”
The general chuckled softly and shook his head, “I admit it, I didn't think the Slavs would be cowed so easily, or that you had the stones do what was needed to remove their political support. You have, however, lost them as an ally.”
Arista shook her own head sadly, “No, if they were willing to do this, if they refused to negotiate like this, they were no allies of ours. All I've done is forced them to show their hand, and now we know where their loyalties truly lie. Withdraw our forces, General. I'll ensure that our humanitarian efforts continue through the White Cross.”
[Public News Excerpt]
The Ministry of Defense has announced a phased withdrawal from Bulgarian territory, proportional to the Yugoslav retreat from the region. This marks what is being hailed as the end of a potentially deadly conflict over the area that borders both Yugoslavia and Greece. The death toll from combat operations are estimated to be 236 lives lost, including Bulgarian citizens and Yugoslav service members.
The government has promised to continue supplying Bulgaria with food, medical supplies, and fuel until such a time as such aid is no longer required.
The controversial no fly zone, implemented in response to Yugoslavia's declaration of war on the Bulgarian Armed Revolutionary Front, frequently mistakenly called the Bulgarian Liberation Front in Yugoslav government addresses and media, is to remain in place until the Yugoslav withdrawal from the conflict zone has been completed.

Correct.
-
Drones are "common sense", same as helicopters and missiles.
-
"Greece will of course withdraw from Bulgaria the moment the invasion has halted, and Yugoslav forces are removed from the territory. We have no interest in conquest or control, only in ensuring that our northern neighbours remain free from outside occupation."
-
"Hmn. Well, if you'd like to help enforce it, perhaps the Yugoslavs will be less likely to violate it, if they know it'll mean facing off against Alvonian forces. But we do not, by any means, expect you to provide forces that might well be put in a position of having to fire upon your own ally, should Yugoslavia choose to violate the no fly zone."

Chill dudes. Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away. Just RP and don't be dicks.

“I will see what I can have done to ease some of the tension between the two of you. If you'll wait just a moment, I'll have a treaty faxed over. I have the authority to sign it here.” She pulled her phone out and made a short call, speaking in clipped Greek. Minutes later a draft treaty had arrived, which Thea signed on behalf of Greece.

Alexa Dimitriou had arrived in Havana the night before, and spent most of her morning touring the city. She was impressed with the level of wealth she saw, and discretely noted the nation's worthiness as a trade partner. When she arrived at the arranged meeting place, she extended her hand to the Caribbean Minister and spoke in Greek accented Spanish, “The Hellenic Republic thanks the United Caribbean States for consenting to this meeting. I'm pleased to see that your nation has flourished, and that your people are enjoying such high levels of prosperity.”
-
As said, up to you. I'm not going to require it. Once I handle Rudy's convoy you can figure out how they're getting to the BARF folks, and then just RP.
-
I don't think spyrolls make them more willing? I mean, if your people are showing up as observers, and speak Bulgarian, and clearly aren't part of the occupation, I'm not sure what issue they'd have. Might weird them out (wtf are east asians doing in Bulgaria?), but it's not like they'd go "YUGOSLAVIAN SPIES!" at you. If you want the spy roll, that's fine, too. Just letting you know it's not needed.

Thea arched a brow at her companion, “A bad relationship there, I take it? Perhaps we can be of assistance as intermediaries. Greece has no such poor reputation with Hungary, and we would prefer for stability to reign through all of Europe. None of us wishes to see another European War erupt. That said,” she smiled and finished her snack, “I'm glad that we've been able to work together on this delicate matter. Though I do believe we haven't gotten a formal answer on the idea of a non aggression pact. Hmn,” she tapped her lips twice then shook her head, “No, I don't think non aggression will do anymore. If we're to be invested in your nation, with a major rail line in your territory, and working with you to ensure that the Bulgarians receive the aid they need, I think we should consider something a bit stronger. Non aggression, optional defense, and lowered trade barriers and visa requirements. How does this sound?”

Don't worry about this, no spy rolls are needed, since at least one of the BARF's positions are publicly known, in the city of Kyustendil.
-
Alrighty. Then I'll be requesting you wait until I handle Rudy's convoy, since that's the only real roads into Bulgaria from his territory (how unfortunate that he allowed me to cut those routes, too). If he gets through, I will happily consent to your finding some BARF folks. No spy roll needed. I'll RP it out with ya, no problem, since at least one of their positions is openly known (they did just take a city).

Somehow, I don't think Val's is the AA military anyone is particularly worried about having to face. For a start, it'd mean you'd have to actually fight.
