AironthFlamewing Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) John C. Flemming walked up to a podium to the cheers of thousands of Australians who filled the stadium, while millions more of the people watched on state television. "My fellow Australians, I, your Field Marshall, John C. Flemming stand before you at a time of great opportunity for our people. Too long have the Imperialists stood over our nation and oppressed us and our right to growth as a nation. A prime example of this are the people of Arctica. They are filthy Westerners, concerned not for the Worker and the People, but for their filthy Capitalist selves. Always using up to the last drops of blood, tears, and sweat of the worker and never rewarding him with the position he truly deserves. THIS SHALL NOT STAND!" Banging his walking stick onto the podium Flemming continued. "Today, The Socialist People's Republic of Australia declares a full and unconditional war upon the Capitalist swine of Arctica. Their nation shall burn." Walking away from the cheers of the masses, Flemming whispered to his military commanders. Classified: The Australian People's Navy in full complement along with 297,024 men of the Australian People's Army(OOC: bascally Corps I-III) have been mobilised. Fully equipped with the following- 2971 Challenger II tanks, 2971 Warrior IFV's, 2971 Star Streak SAMs, 2971 M110's 2920 Jackal and Coyote TSV's(1460 each), 1460 Panther CLV's, 1460 Mastiff 2's and 1460 Multi-Role Humvees. With marching orders to take and subjugate Arctica, Australia marches to war. Edited January 7, 2012 by graniteknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangeline Anovilis Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Charlotte just finished giggling over the elections in Croatia, when she heard of the increase in Maize prices. Immediatly she stopped and typed a few messages out. This was serious business. And hopefully soon hers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Timmy Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) *** Classified *** President Narino spat out his morning cereal whilst reading this in the morning newspaper. It looked Identical to that stupid internet meme. No-one else was around to see it, 'Damn' he thought to himself 'that would have been awesome.' He immediately opened up his laptop and made a jpeg depicting what had just occurred before uploading it onto 9GAG where it received praise as the funniest thing since getting an arrow in the knee. *** Public *** New Panama shall watch this closely.

Sigurd Odinnson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) OOC: I am definitely missing a joke somewhere here.

Michael McBride Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 The Empire of Pravus Ingruo demands an explanation as to why Arctica, of all nations, is being attacked by Australia. They are hardly imperialistic, certainly not antagonistic, and have done nothing, in our eyes, to warrant such an attack. We demand an immediate explanation of these actions by Australia, or serious repercussions could follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael McBride Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 [quote name='Kankou' timestamp='1325986536' post='2895235'] Grand Papua finds it strange that Pravus Ingruo is threatening Australia. Does Pravus Ingruo have any interest in the region or the government of Arctica? [/quote] We have known Arctica ever since the first incarnation of Pravus Ingruo. While a formal treaty has never existed between our nations, we have always held friendly relations with them and seen them as a stabilizing power in the southern part of Africa, a continent that we may add can often be exceptionally volatile. The fact that Australia is looking to attack Arctica without any apparent provocation, other than they are capitalist, strikes us as downright wrong. We are a free nation, free to act, I may add, to right wrongs we see in the world. Such an attack, without reason, would be one of those wrongs.

TheShammySocialist Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) "It appears that a lower level typist decided they thought it was funny to add an untrue statement onto our earlier official statement on this matter. We hereby revise our initial statement to one that is much more appropriate and should have been used in the first place. That being said, the Union of Sweden questions the legitimacy and overall aim of launching this assault on the peaceful state of Arctica with no provocation, therefore, we are putting a halt on the procurement of the two afloat forward staging bases that the government of Australia has bought from Karlskrona AB and the Swedish government. This is a temporary halt on procurement, and the deal has not been terminated, yet. While we are not in the business of halting foreign contracts and transactions, Arctica has done nothing to wrong the Oceania in anyone's past recollections, and your blaming of your woes on them now is poor form."
