[i] I address you all today with an idea, with the hopes that what I tell you here today will at the very least plant the seed in your mind for the next chapter in America. The centraliation of power across many diverse nations, disunity during invasion, & overseas loyalties brought an end to the many attempts to unite the States of America into one solid power. This has always been strongly opposed, & this will always fail. What we need is an agreement amongst ourselves, a simple agreement that is not dependant on the politics in & amongst American nations. An agreement amongst Republics & Empires whether or not some states will be Communist or Monarchists or anything, that will be up to the people, but as Americans shouldn't we offer a little say as to what will make America better? Stop binding America to agreements every which way, lets give ourselves a simple set of clauses that, if they do not unite us at home, will at the very least unite us on the issues imposed by foreign occupation within our hemisphere that several years ago would have been unthinkable. If American nations decide to go to war with eachother, so be it. But keep foreign powers out of it. Where do we begin? Well, let us participate in an American Forum that addresses the most general issues of our continent, be it economic, political, or military. Here, dialogue will be a direct consiquence of participation & dialgue with eachother will be the best asset we have in the times to come. From our forum, general aggreements on the security of the continent, war/ disaster aid which America is more than equiped to handle herself, & tolerance of the various ideologies existant in American as well as recognizing the people's right to choose them. This idea I address to all American nations. [/i] With the utmost sincerty, President Wilmington of the Continental Republic of America

[i]Of course, America is a place of many cultures & political ideologies. All of this establish what is truly American & an expansionist 'Horde' from the far East is hardly a part of this Americana. This is more accuratly a transatlantic expansion of Asian continental borders at American expense. We are not arguing European-American Colonial right, we argue that Asia & Europe respect American borders. I claim that America as many nations & unique peoples rule over its own lands, & Asian ones cannot. There is plenty of land for you to settle in Asia, Grand Vizier, but you will not make an Empire out of us. We hold to our word & still recognize the Great Horde of Tianxia. We also hope to continue dialogue as well as engage in diplomacy with you, Grand Vizier, but we will seek a formal dispute over Alaskan claims with the rest of the American community on the belief that Alaska should be returned to American hands.[/i] Sincerely, President Wilmington

[quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1325744972' post='2893168'] First off, nobody lived in Alaska. The areas we annexed had residents numbering well below most neighborhoods of Beijing or Shanghai. These territories were taken over after an extended period of Alaskan Protection by ourselves, at which point we colonized these areas in an entirely separate colonial structure from the European Colonization. Our colonization unlike the one your ancestors did though didn't involve killing or displacing any native Americans. So really we're forced to ask what right to the descendants of European Invaders have to tell Chinese economic settlers what to do in our own territory? Grand Vizier Wei Hai [/quote] [i]Oh, I see. So because your colonization was not like that of Colonial Era powers, you should be left alone to the annexation of American lands? This is perhaps the most distastful of excuses for annexation of foreign soil, behind bloated justification that I have yet to hear. When a people speak in defence of their land from foreign occupyers, will you always retract recognition of their sovereign state or only when it is Tianxian 'settling' they protest? What does this say for your respect for America? Your own actions sweep the rug out from under your own argument that can be summed up to this: 'Tianxia deserves to be here.' Excuse me Mr Grand Vizier, but no you do not.[/i] Sincerely, President Wilmington

[quote name='Triyun' timestamp='1325743337' post='2893141'] So your first speech is to attack Tianxia without any contact with it or appreciation for the history? The Government of Tianxia will not recognize this new nation then, and will treat it with the same disrespectful attitude it has shown towards us. -Grand Vizier Wei Hai [/quote] [i]We hail the Tianxian people & stand in awe for all they have achieved in the East. But, how long can we Americans sit silent while foreigners lay claim to lands of this continent? If you thought we'd forget about you all the way up there, those hopes can be discarded. We intend to expose you with the eternal light of truth. Have we done anything more than shed light on your occupation of American land? We extend our hand in friendship & we offer all the best that benefits amongst friendly nations enjoy. So now your reaction begs the question: Grand Vizier Wei Hai, what have you to fear?[/i] Sincerely, President Wilmington

A large gathering has begun downtown in the capitol named after first President of the Continental Republic, Wilmington. The [i]Independance Rally[/i] has swept the new Republic to celebration. Locals fall in with the crowd of tourists hoping to enjoy the day of celebrations, as the small army of the Republic, the honorable Continental Guard, patrols the streets. The majority of the troops stand guard for their president who, upon reaching the podium outside the Capitol building, beckoned the cheer of the mass of Americans who anxiously await his address. [center][i]Ladies & Gentlement, your president, Ron Wilmington[/i][/center] President Wilmington waved to the many faces, but the cheering went on. Friendly soldiers waved their hands to the crowd signaling them to let their president speak & finally, the noise died down enough that the President could begin. [i]"Today we celebrate the independance of a nation worthy of cheer & praise throughout the land. A nation that is not, but truly our own."[/i] The President is interrupted by a short applause. [i]"But even as we celebrate today, the challanges before us are incredibly momentous. We join a fractured America. What it means to be American has been nearly lost to time, long before many of the nations that stand today even existed. American pride, the very majesty of America is eroding for if it were not, why then are we not talking more about cooperation amongst us & less plotting of competition. Why do we, as America, with her legendary powers & valiant republics more than willing play second fiddle to the Empires of Europe or of Asia? Why are France & Athens in our Gulf? Or the massive Asian Horde in Alaska? Why is Central America more Iberian than American?"[/i] The crowd offered an erupting dismay of the situations brought to their attention. The recent rise of their Republic & other American nations had begun to re-infuse many Americans with their identity & most importantly, the will to protect it. [i]"Our apathy & selfish policies have allowed the enticement for foreign land grabbing in America to fester & thrive while true Americanism was kept at bay by conflict with eachother & confusion amongst ourselves. Nations feel compelled because of their insecurities, to accept the crooked hand of powers abroad to 'protect our empire'. Sacrificing America herself for economic or political benefit, Mutual Defence, or lust even just the consideration of optional aggression, which I must say is a nonsensical pathetic clause that is itself a thinnly-veiled bait to add meat to the withered bones of an often dis-honerable cause in treaty! Any nation already has the option to aggress!"[/i] The crowd chuckled, taken-aback by the frustrating truths shared with them by their President. [i]"Foreign powers solidify their base in America- IN AMERICA! And hardly a peep is heard from our nations, & there are many of us. This is such a dramatic change from what is truly American. I don't want to start a war- standing up for America doesn't have to be cause to start a war, we should be united when even one American speaks for America & her enemies will back down!"[/i] The crowd roared in the streets. Anyone hoping to catch an early rest was quickly brought to their windows & front lawns to investigate the excitement. [i]"Europe & Asia are alot closer than they need to be- stop sending America overseas! This will be the era that America finds her feet, that she takes her place as the America she used to be, Proud & Strong! Look around you, Americans are Declaring repeatedly their independance & existence as sovereign men & women of a common soil & legendary valiance. This is a righteous cause, its the cause of all Americans. Theres something happening in this continent and it is big! God bless you all & God bless America!"[/i]

[center]-Official Dispatch from the Continental Republic-[/center] The Continental Republic hopes very much to establish good relations with none more than our fellow Americans. Louisiana, Dixie Confederacy, the East-American Union, Canada, Pravus Ingruo as well as the Republics of Texas, California, Newfoundland & the Midwest are American powers that summon our deepest admiration & if you would all entertain, we offer lasting peace in our time for this beautiful Continent that we share as our common American home. Together, let us keep her strong & sovereign while we enjoy a summit of brothers & sisters. We invite you all to attend & representatives are welcome. At our summit in Wilmington we will enjoy dinner, share dialogue, & set the stage for better American cooperation. We await your arrival. Sincirely, [i]President Wilmington[/i]

Lynn, will you please label Deleware the [b]Continental Republic[/b]?

[i]"Today, we as Americans stand united once again. Exalted by the fiery light of Liberty we declare our great nation born. By God, this country; this Constitutional Republic of brave men & women looks on, ready to face down tyranny wherever it rears its head & overcome every adversity that is to challange our young nation. Delaware emerges this hour a free nation to uphold & defend the ideals of Liberty, Equality, & Unity. For, as the winds blow across America; about every rolling hill & throughout the glistening seas, it will have passed over not, but free men."[/i] The Continental Republic of America, located in the state of Delaware, declares its existence to the world. First President of the Republic, President Ron Wilmington offers diplomatic relations with all nations willing & announces as his first act, recognition of all nations currently existing on the world map including this new republic, of course.

But if I may ask, what was the purpose of your troops being stationed in Cheyenne Mountain? President Cole, Chief Executive Officer of the Republic of Rough 'N Ready [/quote]

Lynneth, would you be so kind as to label the state of Colorado as the [b]Republic of Rough 'N Ready[/b]. JEDCJT can confirm my claim. [url="DoE here"]http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=106792&st=0&p=2848813&#entry2848813[/url]

Colorado had its work cut out for itself. America was the breeding ground for self-determination & the folk here weren't about to sit around and make an exception out of themselves to this rule. They wanted a say in the way things where done in these parts & by all means they were resolved to set their boot up on the world stage, if it took another revolution to do it. So with a will that could carve a moon out of a mountain, an old US Constitution reimagined, & a love of freedom as trusty as the family rifle - Colorado would be sovereign & independant. Its republic, rough & ready. President Virgil Cole promptly signed the declaration, being the last man of the transitional congress to do so, setting the final bedrock in place while Vice President Marcus Hitch gave the verbal declaration to an international audience. What has been branded, "[i]The Great Secession[/i]", by VP Hitch has come by a peaceful transition apart from Portuguese protection over Coloroado. "[i]Shes too fierce to not be free[/i]" stated President Cole, "[i]too proud to be protected!"[/i] OOC: My friend, JEDCJT can confirm my claims
