Planet: MafiaScum 2 - Winter 2018

[Klazam]

YAY.

CANT WAIT.



(Application being compiled)

[Klazam]

I'll claim Udos as my start region. still working on my country's writeup

[Klazam]

lol

[Klazam]

Culture is fairly high. Art, music, and literature is created often.

This sentence reeks of Civ V. Just saying.

[Klazam]

what he said

[Klazam]

there isn't. Bowser, mhork, me, and maestro is all currently in it i think

[Klazam]

Just sent in detailed information about my nation.

I encourage y all to do the same
MOAR FLAVOR

[Klazam]

I sent in my ~7 paragraph essay about life in the Holy Empire of Mhork. Is that enough detail?

[Klazam]

I propose all official communications between nations be in character. (for more immersion)

NATURALLY NOT ENFORCEABLE, but i think it'd add to the fun

[Klazam]

The Chancellors of Topos and the Council of the People would never countenance a world war. The civil wars in our past has taught us the hopelessness and futility of countless slaughtered innocent people. We aim to lead a scientific revolution, and usher in a glorious age of technology and commerce.

High Chancellor Klazam, of Topos

[Klazam]

The Council of the People has informed me that Topos wishes to wait before entering into any global agreements. Topos needs to first develop relationships with each country, to ensure their governments are trustworthy, before agreeing to something that could be fatal in the event of any duplicitous countries.

High Chancellor Klazam, of Topos

[Klazam]

Agreed.

-High Councillor Klazam, of Topos

[Klazam]

Maestro, and Topos border each other, and Mhork and Fallen Tragedy also border each other. The Udosian nations has an area in the center with four corners in contact. This is my only request of the mapmaking project. Any Udosians opposed?

[Klazam]

Evir Aduso Technocorp has also offered to make their aerial imagery of the region available for the Culture Ministry as needed.

High Chancellor Klazam

For our own sake, it is probably best if Mhork and Maestro is separated, for rather obvious reasons. So Topos in the SW, Maestro in SE, Mhork in the NW?

[Klazam]

brr.

also, xalx, read my description, and locate the Thranid Mountain Range wherever you want in the SE of my country, and find a spot for Honeypolis. Recall, the city covers 1/4 of the total area of my country.

on second thought maybe a simple political map would be easier for you?

[Klazam]

Same deal stands.

[Klazam]

HAPPY BDAY JDGA

[Klazam]

Can I have those two islands there too?

And since you have that huge city, does that mean your country isn't that huge, Klazam?

Uh, no? My country is one-fourth of the region. (the SW part) Most of my population lives in Thranid and Honeypolis. Not many other towns around, due to the rough terrain of Udos.

Taking this discussion private to avoid thread spam

[Klazam]

So what if we're subdividing the regions ourselves?

This is happening. I'll post the offical map of our region shortly.

[Klazam]

Mhork, did you send in the most updated version? Maestro finally came in and filled stuff out.

[Klazam]

Damn, mind doing it again?

[Klazam]

FAIL

[Klazam]

The Council of the People has decreed the following national spending:

2 B into founding new schools of education for Honeypolis
5 B in the Evir Aduso Technocorp for technological innovations
1 B in the Thranid Mining Conglomerate to improve national production
1 B in the Ballardos Medical Technologies for healthcare improvements

Additionally, there is a new initiative to be announced. National Healthcare plans has been generously offered by Alexei Ballardos of Ballardos Medical Technologies. Any nation is welcome to invite BMT to establish branches in their nations, for an investment of 1 billion or more a season. In exchange, each nation in this initiative will have access to the latest medical technology available.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The Council of the People has also decreed a

750 million dollar spending on developing a military

for defense of the region of Udos.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The

Council of the People accept your offer of a Pan-Udosian Alliance

, and would like to discuss the matter with your delegate further.

Additionally, Topos does not want to be part of any Gazeboian organization at the moment, so we have strong reservations to the United Nations being located in our neighbor.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

On the matter of the Pan-Udosian Alliance, His Holiness Accepts and moves to suggest it be renamed the League for the Opportunity of Udosian Victory and Excellence.

This name is very disagreeable. For one it drips of regional superiority. Topos wishes for an cooperative alliance amongst the Udosian nations, but it doesn't wish to alienate non-Udosian nations.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Put a couple of things into the OP (laws mainly).

I dont see it?

[Klazam]

The Council of the People would like to bring forth the Toposian Anti-Discrimination Policy of 1206 A.U. People of all colors are free to write in any text color desired. Any country opposing this will be met with a reprimand. Consider yourselves warned. Topos is a free country, and Topos will always support personal liberty and freedom of speech in all other countries.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

No.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

As I said, Topos will not discriminate against text of color.

Also, all of your nations are welcome to use Standardized Gazeboian Time, in which it is the year 2013 S.T.G. Topos, due to its history, would prefer to keep our own yearly system. (for future reference, it is the year 1576 A.U.)

High Chancellor Klazam

This is fun

[Klazam]

Out of personal curiosity, what is the importance of that year?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos votes

no

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Are we really so divided a world that we would rather stubbornly insulate ourselves than embrace the globalization?

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

Yes.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

What does a low government approval rating entail?

[Klazam]

what do resource mining get me, and does it already happen naturally, or do I have to specifically invest money in it?

[Klazam]

So my spending in my mining company to increase industry is the same thing as increasing income, or is industry something different that I'm increasing?

also, is there a tangible benefit to possessing all kinds of resources, or is it nothing tangible?

[Klazam]

The Council of the People has decreed the following national spending:

2 B in the Evir Aduso Technocorp for technological innovations (Robotics in particular)
1 B in the Thranid Mining Conglomerate to increase mining of Iron and Rare Metals (.5B each)
1 B in the Ballardos Medical Technologies for healthcare improvements

High Chancellor Klazam
How much upkeep does my army cost me?

[Klazam]

I MEAN- Is my army cost already automagically deducted, or do i have to actively keep track of the numbers?

[Klazam]

who is he replacing?

[Klazam]

Topos wishes to invest

1B in the Silverlands Bank.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos has heard of the great priority Chesstopia 3.0 places upon its people. The Council of the People has decreed that the hand of friendship be extended towards this great country.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos' Coucil of the People has aouced a Topos-Wide restrictio of a certai letter. o Toposia citze ca use that letter for the rest of this seaso.

High Chacellor Klazam

[Klazam]

o.

High Chacellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Imagine if the letter N actually replaced out of the English alphabet....

[Klazam]

Thak you, Lord Chesskid. I will be sure to cash it i the ext seaso, whe that letter is legalized.

Private Mail, High Chacellor Klazam

------------------
Topos respectfully declies His Holiess' geerous offer.

High Chacellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I spoke it aloud.

Was fu.

High Chacellor Klazam.

[Klazam]

Dear Lord Chesskid,

I strogly urge you to recosider your request. Female missioaries of the God of Blood? Surely you should see the folly of that...

Private Mail, High Chacellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Fair.

Private Mail, High Chacellor Klazam

[Klazam]

2 B Intelligence
1B on soldiers
1B on reservists
2 B in Evir Aduso Technocorp to improve military technology
1 B in Ballardos Medical for Healthcare

Topos is alarmed by the quickly increasing hostilities. We would much prefer it if we did not have to get involved in any wars, but we will be prepared, regardless.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The Council of the People are deeply saddened to hear that our ally is apparently a duplicitous one. They would like to hear the reasons His Holiness might have for this outrage.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topo wishes to withdraw the 1 billion from the bank of the Silverlands. We fear, with hostilities increasing between our neighbor and the Silverlands, we may be cut off from the Toposian investment.

Additionally, we wish to invest

.5 B in the creation of a investigation team

with the express goal of discovering the person or persons responsible for this recent Gazeboian controversy.

Topos would like the Mushroom Kingdom to explain their spending on espionage.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Addendum: The investigation team is to discover whether the Holy Empire of Mhork is indeed responsible for the Arrakis issue, or if it is some another agency.

I apologize for this clarification.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

If the Silverlands Bank can guarantee its neutralness, the Council of the People has authorized me to rescind the withdrawal, and to

invest an additional 1 B in the bank

. We apologize if there was any slight made upon your bank.

High Chancellor Klazam

EDIT: Bolding added.

[Klazam]

Thank you for the prompt assurance.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

On a more positive note, the notorious Markman Gaorth has apparently been apprehended and is now I'm custody.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

Would you be willing to provide my investigative team with access to this man? We wish to discover his true intent, and whose words set him to purpose.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

If you do, in any way, come into custody of this man, will you turn him over to us for questioning?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Why do you wish to discuss this in private? This is obviously a world issue, and I wish to resolve, and absolve your good name of this allegation. I am certain that upon questioning this man will reveal to the world the true culprit of this outrage.

Or do you have anything to hide here? If so, feel free to make matters private, but know that Topos will make it public.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

So this is your man, Mhork? If not, I do not understand why you're afraid of revealing national secrets.

Our interrogation will use all the resources Topos has at its hands. You will get this man back sound and unharmed, but we will have the truth from him.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

And what reasoning do you have for that?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos was uneasy with the unrest recently. That being said, we do not anticipate any offensive engagements. And before somebody suggests disarmament, there's no way that Topos is going to disarm when two of our neighbors are heavily militarized.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Fallen Tragedy and Mæristo Lux.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

No, Lord Chesskid. Topos is in Usos.

high Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

2 Billion on Military tech
3 Billion on Intelligence
3 Billion on passing an healthcare bill named Obamacare
1 Billion on Industry
1 Billion in the Silverlands Bank

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Your refusal to release this Ghaor person forced us to seek alternative methods to get the information we wanted brought to public light. When you refused to release Ghaor to us for investigation, regrettably, we were forced to assume this Ghaor had incriminating information. When Arrakis contacted us with their offer, we had no choice but to accept.

Topos is pleased to announce that our faith has been restored in The Lord Mhork's honesty in this matter. It seems that an outside agent is responsible for fomenting rebellion in Arrakis, and Lord Mhork was unaware of this incident. Topos fully excepts Arrakis to pursue this matter on its own. The reason why Topos was involved was out of concern for our possibly duplicitous neighbor, which is obviously not the case.

I am concerned that Mhork turns first to military means, not to diplomacy though. This man is a criminal in Mhork, why would you funnel 4 billion in a military retaliation force without contacting me, or Arrakis about this through more private channels? Instead, you resort to global sensationalism, when none was necessary. The Council of the People would like to remind Mhork that we have a Pan-Udosian Treaty, and that we have no true reason for anomisty amongst ourselves,

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Very well. the agent said that his direct officer Inquisitor-Major Siple Rivet was the one who handed him his orders. Topos would like to make a public request for this man to be arrested and questioned.

Regarding Arrakis involvement, this is rather doubtful, because Ghaor also told us that he supplied the same information to Arrakis, but that Arrakis tortured him for this information, and the signs of it is very clear.

Regarding to the reason why Topos was involved at all- we have a direct border with Mhork, and it was alarming that a neighbor might be a part of this vile deed. it was voted that the truth must come to light by whatever channels it took.

Satisfied?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I do not believe that we have any international laws regarding that, Ambassador, and neither do Topos believe that such a law should be enacted. Topos feels it is better for the world of each country were to govern itself as it would.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

That's between Mhork and Arrakis.

In the Council of the People's opinion, the criminal was caught for a crime on Arrakis soil, against Arrakis, so his international citizen status shouldn't grant him any privileges.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

As I said, between Mhork and Arrakis.

Topos will not be signing any international laws.

Jason- My investigation team specifically told me that the Marksman Ghaor did not believe Lord Mhork had anything to do with his orders. He indicated it was directly from his immediate superior. No, Topos did not torture the man to get this information.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Jason- my investigation team was the one who provided me with this information, not Arrakis. And I am saying this Torture debacle is between these two nations. having assured ourselves that Mhork is not being duplicitous, we are done with this thing.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

My opinion of mhork and Arrakis has switched places after recent events.

uh, can you clarify this?

[Klazam]

The Council of the people wish to announce this budget for the following season

2.5 B Healthcare
2 B Education
2 B (1B each on each mining tech)
2 B Industry
2 B In helping to establish the Evir Space Corporation
.5 B For more reservists
1 B Military technology
.5 B Intelligence
.8 B In the Silverlands Bank

They would also like to request that the Silverlands Bank send me Topos' balance and current rate of increase.

Thank you

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to open negations with Castelia for the technology of the infinite popcorn bag.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos has dispatched an agent with

10,000 in cash to Chesstopia

to find King Bowser some "girlfriends".

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to announce that the winter was all good and stable, so Topos wants to deposit a full

10 B on the bank of the Silverlands.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to express concern for the fact that the representative from Mechana Terran seems to be speaking for the Lord Chesskid.

Regarding these missiles, I assume that they will be used for peacekeeping purposes, yes? If so, Topos has no problems with that.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Note that I did not say defensive. I said "peacekeeping".

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I am very interested in buying the manufacturing information, so that EAT can produce them. Money is no object if it is spent to improve the lives of all gazeboian citizens.

Evir Aduso, CEO of Evir Aduso Technocorp.

[Klazam]

Yes.

High Chancellor Klazam

2B in AI research, collaboratively with Mhork

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Yes, Topos does.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to amend that to simply posting each week. We would prefer to respect these nations concerned with their own privacy.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to amend that to simply posting each week. We would prefer to respect these nations concerned with their own privacy.

High Chancellor Klazam

Is it really that hard to put up a few figures?

The rest of us are spending openly, i don't see why they can't, especially those who are getting War Ready.

We respect all nations' sovereign right to privacy.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

This is exactly the kind of conflict Topos wishes to avoid.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos follows suit.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Happy birthday, your bowserness!

Warning-warning shot-shootdown

[Klazam]

Oh, as addenum, diplomat's aircraft can go over my country in this particular case- we have no explosives to conceal.

I have no problem with flyovers i know about and approve. The warning/warning shot/shootdown policy applies to unannounced and unidentified spy aircraft only.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Truthfully, no offense, but we dont know you. I would prefer nobody else participate in this project at this moment.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Oh deepest apologies. I had forgotten. In that case, you are, of course, more than welcome. We had thought you were simply inviting yourself. Our bad.

~Ambassador Tor'Kin, Face to the World

[Klazam]

There were no jets sent my way?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

High Chancellor Klazam

Ok- so there were a jet sent my way and i let it through, yes? You didnt mention Topos anywhere in that update, so i was unsure if there were one sent for me, or not.

[Klazam]

lolwut

High Chancellor Klazam

*written from a secret underground bunker where only the chancellors and the council know about*

[Klazam]

Morphia would like to extend sympathies, but refuses to take the risk of the sympathy meeting - no risk is better than taking a risk at this stage, we believe.

I will do the same as Morphia.

High Chancellor Klazam

*still in bunker*

[Klazam]

Topos votes yes.

2B in ARTIFICE

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos annnounces the spending for this season:

5B in improving economy
2B in Military Technology
1B in Intelligence
2B in Healthcare
2B on Fortifications
2B on Soliders

I recieved that email also. It is rather disquieting information.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

We will not take any action unless if we are threatened directly.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

(dorfs too short)
(they get jealous easily)
(they want to be able to reach the top of the bookcase for a change)

I died laughing

[Klazam]

It's cosmetic. <_<
To spell it out - the Mhorkish population outside of non-Topos Udosian nations is very limited, in a similar sense to, say, Shintoism in the US. Even if Mhork did try to pull a sleeper agent thing, the fact that most people are at least somewhat level-headed when it comes to this sort of thing means that there wouldn't even be a noticeable benefit for him ayway.

Topos?

We have mhorkists here?

[Klazam]

It's cosmetic. <_<

Look at underlined and understand my confusion.

[Klazam]

No. The Toposians are happy following the Light.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Uh.

We in Topos offer our condolences to those families who lost lives in this wanton outbreak of slaughter.

Ballardos Medical is looking into establishing a crisis team "without borders" next season to render assistance to victims of any natural disasters or warfare. Would any country like to donate some money to make that happen?

Elybria- you say that Morphia has conducted improper espionage activities within your borders? I do not see why the innocent should suffer for that- you should have targeted these missiles to the government and military targets of value, not indiscriminately slaughter thousands of innocents.

I salute all those who in Elybria, listed to their conscience and refused to follow orders to slaughter innocents. These 500 missile operators must be freed and not face charges. Topos is open to heroes like these, if the 500 is not welcome in Elybria.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

When does this season end?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I am officially dropping out of the A.I. collaboration.

Sorry guys, it's money that could be spent elsewhere, and with all of the wars breaking out, I could use some extra money.

Also, I didn't trust Lord Mhork, and now it looks like I can't trust Klazam either.

Sorry.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

We embargo elybria also

[Klazam]

I support Lord Chesskid in his response.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

pika pika

I laughed

I hope that you will learn the error of your ways.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

It is clear that Elybria's leader has gone insane.

Shift to wartime economy, send full army to attack and forcibly depose the ruler of elybria

1 B in spreading truth pamphlets about the government of Elybria's deeds

Give 1 B to each country involved in ARTIFCE (Mhork, Salmonella, kartosael, PrivateI, Jason)
2B in ARTIFCE
3B in relief aid to PrivateI
1B in general upkeep

I urge all countries to help PrivateI and to end this threat for once and all.

High Chancellor Klazam

(Edit to fix an error)

[Klazam]

As an addendum, broadcast the fact that we will accept surrender from any solider that sees the truth about their government, and will not harm any that lay down their arms. We are in elybria for the sole purpose of bringing Orcinus to justice.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Please direct all communications regarding the upcoming Elybrian action to me via the new P.M. feature, Diplomat. I welcome your country's assistance.

Commandant Phirkan, of Topos' Grand Army

[Klazam]

We do not accede to demands of terrorists.

This corrupt dictator must be removed. His insane whims must not be sated.

This is a call to action for all good and righteous Elybrian citizens. Do not heed your mad leader's commands, and help the world find peace by removing him from command.

Thank you, noble citizens of Mæristo Lux for supporting the advancement to world peace. All other countries, I urge you to take action.

High Chancellor Klazam

Attack military and governmental targets in Elybria immediately (or as soon as possible) with my full army. Offer the military terms of unconditional surrender- No repercussions will be meted upon those who lay down arms. In the case of the government, they are to turn themselves over to our custody, then they will be put through a fair war crimes trial proceedings taking place into a neutral country. This is to discover who is complicit in the wanton slaughter of gazeboian lives.

[Klazam]

Thank you for your gracious thoughts, Lord Chesskid. In this situation, Topos must step up to do that, because we are better equipped to handle the hellfire that those missiles can unleash.

We step forward as a nation to protect the world.

We also do not approve of the scare tactics that this mad ruler is attempting to use, to grind gazeboian progress to an halt.

Fellow Toposians, I know you are truly amongst the best of men and women. I assure you, Justice will be had.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Graciously welcomed.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Agreed.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The Luxian Consulate issues a removal of its embargo, but hereby levies a 5% reparation tax on Elybria as its term of surrender - His Holiness encourages the other primary members of the Elybrian counter-attack (Topos and Mhork) to adopt this truce. 15% is a sound but fair reparation for the deaths of so many. The Luxian Army wishes to maintain a modest standing occupation force of 2500 troops in Elybria to uphold this reparation tax and assist in the poli-military transition period.

I concur with this.

do what he said

I hope this is agreeable in light of recent circumstances, Marshal Homme

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

It cost Topos 3 billion dollars worth of Torrent Anti-Missle Missiles (Anyone can buy these for 7.5 million each, contact me by mail to order some if interested.) to defend against the unprovoked attack, and the lives of the innocent lost are priceless. If a 5% tax in perpetuity is unacceptable, the council is willing to settle for 7.5 billion paid in 2.5 billion installments for the next 3 seasons.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

What the hell. The war is finished- im not attacking them - i thought that was clear? We're negotiating reparations now.

High Chancellor Klazam

This should be the mark of a ceasefire.

[Klazam]

Rejected or not, why the fuck would i want to fight on when my primary reason for invasion had been dealt with?

My last offer of 7.5 B reparations, with installments of 2.5 B paid over the next 3 seasons was never responded to

[Klazam]

ooc: Thanks

The council feels the lowest possible fair reparation payment is 5 B so what can we do about that, Mr. Homme?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The high council feels that in name of gazeboinity, they won't refuse.

High Chancellor Klazam

(Havent figured that out, lol)

[Klazam]

8 Billion to general quality of life improvements
3 Billion on a economy stimulus plan
2 billon Health care
1 Billion on soldiers
2 Billion on A.R.T.I.F.C.E.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

The council has decreed that Elybria has one season to pay for the horrors they unleashed on innocent gazeboian citizens before they will reap the price.

Topos will be hosting internal competitions to send the best of our nation's athletes to the World Games. We look forward to the day of friendly sporting!

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Amyr, Mhorkians- They offered to pay reparations of 0.2 B for a unprovoked attack, which cost many Toposian citizens their lives, and which cost quite a bit for us to expend defensive weaponry. 5 B is quite a reasonable request. You claim they disobeyed orders- I must point out each and every one of these 23.099 Toposians died because of these who obeyed unreasonable orders. If Topos was not more prepared, I shudder at how unthinkable the death toll might have been. In the face of all that, 0.2 B is an insult.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

We're not demanding them to pay in full. I have already mentioned that we were willing to accept it in installments. On the other hand, they have one season to agree to pay. Either they are willing to or they won't. No reason in delaying more.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I see now that my prior message might have not be clear on that. I hope that clears up any concerns.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

They sent 100 ICBMs at Topos first. Our attack was a response to that.

If they refuse to pay reparations, as a proud nation, what choice do we have?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

So I am, but still, threats was made, and Topos was in a position to help their apparent target. Which turned out to be us.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

5B isn't reasonable? and what else that isn't violence, i ask you. What do i have left to me?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

I am simply asking what options are left to me. You are not giving me better alternatives. I am giving Elybria time to respond with either their agreement or counteroffer. I am not wantonly attacking random nations and causing innocent loss of life. Your threat is very much not appreciated. You accuse me of threatening world peace and stability? Look at the grieving families of the 23.099 people who died. You think i should just tell Elybria "Do not do that again" with no consequences or reparations? That is threatening world peace, because the next country that goes mad will know that once a leader is deposed, everyone hops on their side with no consequences.

I repeat, I do not appreciate your threat, cowardly mouthpiece of Mhork.

Amyr, I have no intention of invading Elybria. I am just seeking meaningful recompose for the attack. A cessation of trading means nothing if the world is not united. Refusal of offering assistance means nothing when everyone else is offering assistance. They are refusing fair reparations, and Topos is seeking to find a solution that the people of Topos will approve of. If this means that Elybria needs to have more pressure brought to bear, so be it, but that is far from my first choice.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

*static*
"It was not meant to be a threat. It was simply a warning that if you resort to violence to pull recompense from Elybria, you become no better than the late orcinus."

Really? I will be no better than a mad ruler who instigated unprovoked attacks on innocents and throated nations randomly? I'm disappointed you think so lowly of Topos.

lets just say throated is a peculiar Topos word meaning "threatened"

[Klazam]

So these four nations doesn't believe Topos is entitled to fair reparations? I ask you all this, If it was your beloved nation, and youw ere in my shoes, what would you do?

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

5 B is not reasonable?

Very well, It's clear in the eyes of the world we are not the victims but the evil if we choose to pursue justice. Topos will not be taking any military action against Elybria.

Withdraw all troops from Elybria, place half on reservist status, shift out of war economy

But mark my words, the next time an atrocity happens, Topos will not do anything.

High Chancellor Klazam

My dear Din'finaci, are you quite all right? I have never said anything accusing you of a nuclear program or even mentioned it. One wonders what you intended to say there.

In other news, yes, Topos does have a small nuclear energy program, that is also being researched for other applications. We have not invested as much in it as others. We're also researching anti-nuclear defense. This research will be availble for purchase as soon as we make a breakthrough.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Topos would like to express our concern for those countries utterly neglecting their people in favor of building weapons of mass destruction. We understand investing some money in that can be reasonable, but to invest the country's entire budget? Fairly concerning. Feirei's country has slightly better reasoning, but again, don't forget the people.

People of Gazebo, if you are unhappy with your country's government, such as the military government of Elybria, Topos is open to you.

High Chancellor Klazam

[Klazam]

Just because your people are happy is not a reason to ignore them.
