Evangeline Anovilis Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) As the [i]Erzherzog Eugen[/i] and the [i]Stefan Sarkotić[/i] passed near Cap Verde they turned East. The Croatian Ministry of the Exterior had contacted them, to check up on the nearby nation of Govakia, as no contact could be made and it was suspected that most likely the nation had fallen into anarchy. Without a proper government, this nation would be a danger to all other nations around and also to itself and its citizens. As the ships arrived, it seemed as if it was so, and the complement of around 2500 sailors occupied the nation, setting up a Croatian flag and giving out the following message.

To end the lawlessness and to counter the threat of possible piracy near this major trading route, our forces have occupied the country and we declare it a territory of ours. We are sure that other nations may bring forth claims, however, we would like such nations also to bring forth an explanation how they could have let this chaos last this long without proper action. Croatia also ensures that the country will be enjoying Croatian law and no native shall be hurt unduely. A local administration will be set up to help the integration of Govakia into Croatia. Should there be any other problem, the Croatian Duchy is always open for diplomatic contact.

[b]OOC:[/b] As far as I see it, that nation is inactive for longer than 25 days, I have ships in the region and noone else did a thing. Therefor I claim Govakia as my first colony.

Executive Minister Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 "While we can seek to admire Croatian candor regarding its pursuance of world peace and stability, we must express dismay at the open thought of a European state creating a colony on African soil."
