IC:Gallifrey has heard of recent nuclear activity from a nation that called a summit to end the use of WMDs as weapons and asks the UC if they are at least going to clean it up.



OOC:Also Sargun has banned me from #CNRP without any warning or reason why while I was on my way home from work(kinda like what happened to him here). So if you need to communicate with me do it via PM.

The Umbrella Commonwealth called a summit to end the use of Biological weaponry. It has been the Commonwealths policy that any enemy invading our territory will be attacked nuclear weaponry. As the weapons have and are being deployed in the Commonwealths territory, it is not the concern of Gallifrey wether or not we clean it up.

[i]"Hopefully the winds do not carry the destruction to Gallifrey or we would make it the responsability of the UC to clean it up. Also the fact that this is a basic reaction to any invasion is even more concerning. The fact that you would risk multiple nations and civilians including your own in the event of a war is simply overkill. Your policy is a drain on the environment and on the entire continent. You should know that nuclear weapons do not effect only the blast radius but the surrounding area depending on the prevailing winds. Not only would the winds carry north towards our allies The Lunar Republic but the possibility of the radiation hitting our waters and cities aswell. We have a quite large city just on the border. Biological warfare is quite the same in the carrying of the harmful gasses with the prevailing winds. If your scientists havnt told you this then you need to get new scietists."[/i]

OOC:I am not trying to be a $#@$ but it is something that would concern me what with you being so close.

OOC: I would like to note that I checked out the general predominant winds in the region and created an expectation map in case anyone was interested:

http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=109163&view=findpost&p=2942756

Because the attack most likely occurred near the border, most of the radioactive fallout would start out west of your nation and would be carried, north, north-west... mostly affecting the Peruvian Imperium, The Lunar Republic, New Panama, Avalon and of course Edean. So luckily I think you'll be safe from most of the radiation, but some will probably still drift your way via the wind if not by water if it contaminates the water which will likely flow through your nation. The war mostly affects me it seems - even more-so then it affects the Umbrella Corporation who was attacked ironically enough. Given the disregard though, my companies might just be pushing to shove the requests of the Triumvirate and request permission to travel through the Peruvian Imperium with armed escort >_> - given that they are paying for their own private defense firms after all for regional defense. It would make sense they could request defense of their products as they traveled over foreign territory as well.

Perhaps Gallifrey would like to re-word its response. You will "Make" us responsible to clean it up? Sounds like a barely concealed threat. We also have a first strike policy and Pre-emptive aggression policy. We will not cease using nuclear weapons to win our victory. Secondly, Biological Warfare is NOT determined on prevailing winds. That is CHEMICAL warfare. Biological warfare is germ warfare, so it is generally person to person. Somebody passing influenza onto the next. Perhaps YOUR scientists need to be replaced, not ours.

OOC
If you want to try and be witty and sarcastic though Issac, at least know what the hell you're talking about.

Like we said, we have a First Strike Policy and a Pre Emptive Agression policy in place. Do not find yourselfs on the wrong side of the fence. When we care what Gallifrey has to say, we will bloody well ask it's opinion. But as Gallifrey is an insignificant blot on the map of South America, its opinion doesnt matter, its words have no weight and nobody would think twice about you trying to intimidate and brow beat them, because nobody cares about Gallifrey or its bloody politics or its bloody Timelord, Doctor Who wannabee leader. Gallifrey is a pointless nation that faired much better under the Holy American Empire and later on, the Lunar Republic.

From one leader to another, stick to commenting on things you know about and what you might think people care about. What the Commonwealth does is the Commonwealths buisiness.

You have proven my point that you are an immature government with your insults on our ethnicity and nationality being such a young nation your self and that you are indeed the blot on the South American map. I highly suggest you do not step into Gallifrey sir. Just because you have a policy in place does not mean the world has the same policy.

Timelords, Gallifrey and your nations general theme is resonant of a popular former BBC program called Doctor Who. Umbrella is one of the oldest on this Earth, this is just its newest incarnation. If the world doesnt have the same policy that is their problem, and as for threatening you? We really would not waste our time. I am also not a "Sir" I am a madame you ignorant twit.

[left]"The High Time Lord Council and the Time Lord Council passed the vote today for a rearanging of the borders with Gallifrey and Gallia. The vote saw some controversy simply because of the displacement issue. While civilians in the areas lost and or gained in the deal would be given the choice between staying in the area and becoming Gallian citizens or Moving to a place within Gallifrey some people saw in plainer terms. A woman from one of the northern areas said [i]'While I decided to move back within Gallifrey into the city of *bleep* I am ispleased with the choice given. We were basically given a choice between our homes and our nation, both of which we love dearly.'[/i] The people who decided to stay in Gallifrey will be payed for their move and the first 6 months payment of their houses or until they get a job all from the Gallifreyan government. The ones that stayed were covered until they got a Gallian job. In the presidents statement earlier he said [i]'While it is sad to lose these areas from the beautiful northern region of our nation, it is for the greater good of both our nation and that of Gallia and for the continued peace of the region.'[/i] For GNN this is Mark Mathis signing off, good night and God bless Gallifrey."[/left]

[i]"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the time to speak on behalf of my people. Today the Umbrella Commonwealth in their search for the conquering and conquest of the continent has attacked Gallifrey without provocation or reason or any form of communication with the Gallifreyan people. This attack has already hit the cities of Gallifrey and its people. Hundreds of civilians dead, thousands seeking refuge thousands of young men and women dead on the borders. All of this death and destruction for no reason but dirt, land, power. Today I ask the people to express their out rage to the UC government for disturbing the peace of a continent that hasnt seen a war since the Vicidalian government in the northern region of the continent. We hope that the American people will know the right thing to do and not support this outrageous action against a nation that is known for only seeking diplomacy in the worst of situations. We do not seek sympathy for our selves, we seek the end of aggression and tyranny in this continent. 'When power ,aggression, and tyranny are at their max, the people must find it in them selves to end it.' Thats will be all for now, thank you."[/center][/i]

[i]"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it seems the goals of the UC government have become obvious. The Rio region, in their search for conquest and power they have come to take hat they believe to be theirs. We urge all civilians to flee the cities in the region of Rio as soon as possible. Refugee camps will be placed along the border regions. The machine of destruction known as the Umbrella Commonwealth will not spare you as they didnt spare many of our brothers and sisters in the initial attacks on the port cities and on the borders. Food, rations and medical supplies have arrived from our allies to aid us in this war on tyranny that approached our nation. Gallifrey while not totally alone in the war seems to be alone on the battle front. We urge our brothers and sisters in the Americas to stop this blatent aggression on the South American continent before it consumes the entire continent. This is the voice of Gallifrey, signing off for now. To the troops on the front line, keep up the fight, you will never be forgotten."[/i][/center]

Both of our nations have lost many lives in the war, on the Gallifreyan side many civilian deaths and many beautiful cities destroyed. We would like to open talks for peace between our nations.

During the meeting there should be a ceasefire in the sake of good form. We only extend this offer in the intrest of peace, South America can not afford loss of so much of its military strength for a disagreement between two nations internally.

"With the enemy troops leaving the borders and the apparent air of peace in the air, Gallifrey celebrates the maintaining of its national heritage. The lost civilians and troops in this war will be remembered and the now disbanded AC will be remembered. A parade was held in the planned capital city of Brazilia earlier today flying many banners, while in Prydonnious a single soldier would play taps in the morning for the lost souls in the war."

It was a shock to everyone, riots began in the streets over the governments choices to give up Rio in the war. Many civilians were unhappy with this. At 2:05 AM s gunshot went off in citadel, and then many followed. The capital building was invaded by the Silence supporters. The attack killed off all of Gallifreys key leaders in one night as they were in a meeting over the land transfer. Gallifrey was now in anarchy with no form of government to stop the chaos. Divisions of the Republican Army broke off state by state fighting eachother over which government would rule the land. Nothing was left but chaos. The fall of a great republic over a patch of land. Th silence had its will and anarchy rained in the streets. Civilians crying for help from any nation in South America that would assist in the chaos and bring order. In a last effort the last of the Republican government sent the details of mines and traps in Gallifrey to the Umbrella Commonwealth for proper disposal and the last of the Gallifreyan Republican Army and the Time Lord council went on the borders to Sao Paulo to seek refuge in the heat of battle. Gallifrey has fallen. A sad day indeed for the continent, the loss of a free republic. The Lord President couldn't be found.

The battle ravaged first heavy corps moved from Rio into the rest of Gallifrey. Elements of the third and fourth rapid deployment were also deployed from air mobile formations and Gallifrey quickly fell before the Commonwealth Forces.

Whilst it would take some months more of fighting, Gallifrey was annexed into the Commonwealth proper and anti insurgency operations began.

Public

The nation of Gallifrey, after falling into anarchy is now the sovereign territory of the Umbrella Commonwealth. Presently our forces are returning stability to the region and local elections will be conducted as soon as possible.
