I lifted this from the Australia boards.

Sorry to interupt all your fun in the sun and beer drinking.

Early today the region of the United Kingdom, a long time friend and ally to England, was invaded by a terrorist like group from Ireland called the IRRA.

A week ago this same group invaded Northern Ireland, and the United Kingdom declared itself neutral. Obviously, this meant nothing to these the leader of the IRRA Prodigal Fenigan. The IRRA with the help of the USSR and Imperial Germany attacked and conquered the UK replacing its democratically chosen British delegate with a nation from the USSR. They march on England next.

England is preparing to attack them first before they can gather more nations. In order to replace the USSR delegate we will need more than 30 UN nations. But, England can't stop when the UK is freed, England will then take back Northern Ireland and finally put an end to this bastards. (excuse my language...got a little carried away there)

We need Australia's help desperately. Will you help us?

My thought is this is total folly. All the English nations will go to the UK region, allowing the IRRA forces to overtake the newly weekened region of England with total ease.

I don't mind considering the defence of England (if asked), but going into the UK is another matter altogether.

In my view, the proper defensive tactic would be to cause the IRRA to attack the strengthened England, get the Delegate to simply ban all suspiscious nations, thereby neutralizing the IRRA, and *then*, one that threat is neutralized on home soil, then think about liberating the UK.

Anyway, I thought I'd post this for everyone's interest. I know we have quite a few British nationals on these boards, and out of consideration to them, I felt it necessary to post this.

This posting to the England boards suggests to me that England is in no danger at all, and does not officially support any action in the UK at this time. Apparently, the delegate (who has over 80 endorsements) is on friendly terms with Ireland. Calls for an invasion of the UK to "take it back" it would seem are led by a splinter group not associated with teh government of England:

So, the UK has been over-run. The UK is now under the command of hostile Irish mercenaries and their kin. The Armies of the USSR and Imperial Germany. Tell me since your such great allies with Ireland HM, what is your opinion of their crass and barbaric invasion of not only Northern Ireland. But of the United Kingdom also?
As there has been little protesting from this pathetic excuse for a region. Of which the name England should be torn down and replaced with something more fitting. Like traitors to their own countrymen. I see, we all see that any moral fibre in England was replaced in England a long time ago by self interest. And lack of regard for anyone else, save their precious friends the Irish oppressors of NI, and the UK. I wonder if England went about trouncing Irish regions as much as the Irish go about trouncing British regions. Would they be as silent and cowardly as yourselves. I very much doubt it. Granted I don’t like the Irish at the moment, or in the very near future. But I do admire their team spirit, at least they stick together. Something which we do not, I am not blaming you for the British not sticking together. But the Northern Ireland issue happened six days ago. Yet save for a few nations in England. And I stress the word few, there has been scant interest into the demise of your own people. Now this is a region of 240 plus nations.

Surely in six days someone must have been concerned by the goings on in Northern Ireland? Especially your “ministers”

Surely since you and the Irish are such good allies they would of informed you of their intentions?

Surely you didn’t allow your so called allies to invade your own people?

Or sanction any such move against the United Kingdom?

Speaking of the United Kingdom, would you like to hear of their – quite frankly pathetic excuse for invading a formally announced neutral region – excuse.

“Though the United Kingdom's sensible leader has declared Neutrality, some of the residents there have been pushing for war so in the interests of the common security, the common good of all regions, it has been the decision of the wise leaders of the USSR, IG, myself and others to bring the fight to Southern Addiscombe. Only when these warmongers are pacified can we all live in peace.”

So, for one thing neutrality means nothing to these people. And all it takes for them to invade a neutral region is for a few nations to not agree with the Irish warmongering. As for bringing the fight to me, surely the best way to do this would be do invade my region Great Britain 3. But no, they have another motive. That is to create an Irish empire, at the expense of the British. And why do they want me? Because my region – unlike England – was and is prepared to stand up for the people of Northern Ireland. And now will stand up for not only the United Kingdoms right to govern itself. But the right to have its neutrality respected. And to be left to look after its own “problems” i.e. people not agreeing with Irish imperialism. The Irish clearly do not respect the right to free speech, and the right of self determination. Which are enshrined in international law, and must be adhered to.

As a UN delegate you should at least have the common courtesy to address your regions concerns. Yet you do not, all you do is buy your UN votes. By endorsing others as soon as they enter the region. Yet you do not deserve to be in charge. What England needs is someone who is willing to stand up for their own people, and to stand up to Irish Imperialism. Someone with the slightest sense of duty would surpass your pathetic efforts to bring this dire situation to a close. I speak not as a Founder of a small yet morally correct and upstanding region. But as a former resident of England. We do not fear the Irish hoards, we face them. Granted we are a small region. But we are prepared to make the sacrifice to stand up to these warmongers. Oppressors of the right to self determination, and free speech. Any nations who are opposed to the invasion of Northern Ireland, and the United Kingdom would be advised the Great Britain 3 would welcome your input. And would be pleased to provide a patriotic region, that is clearly in want here.

Her most Britannic Majesty’s Governor of Great Britain 3. The British Crown Dependency of Southern Addiscombe.

Leader of GB3, ready to stand up for free speech and free will. God bless.

Your consideration is appreciated. It would appear, as already put, to be an entirely contrived situation.

I'm very sorry if you thing we have been playing you, but were not.

The problem is that the delegate from Great Britain 3, Southern Addiscombe (SA), is still mad at the the delegate of England, His Majesty (HM), for not supporting his efforts to retake Northern Ireland. SA was the one who posted that message on the civil HQ saying England was friends with the Irish.

When Northern Ireland was attacked GB3 began planning to take it back. However, England thought it better to wait until the situation cool down. SA was infuriated, and has been calling all of England traitors and friends of the Irish. It is not true; we are not friend with the IRRA. All SA wants is to cause a civil war within England making him the dominate British leader.

England is still under the same threat from the IRRA as has always been.

A word of advice never believe what Southern Addiscombe (founder of GB3) or Bethnal Green (delegate of GB3) tell you. They only have their own interests at heart and regularly twist the facts to suit them.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. We still need any help we can get.

Leisine, English Ambassador to Australia

Thanks for the clarification, L.

I was searching on England's boards for any reference to this crisis, and could not find any. Hence, my suspicions that this was being overblown.

I have telegrammed the Irish Delegate, asking him to consider negotiations for a possible peaceful resolution to the crisis.

I haven't heard anything back at this point.

I'm not entirely certain that the Irish delegate supports all this. PF left Ireland a week ago with Irish UN nations and has never come back. I think he just uses Ireland as a spot to pick up recruits.

We didn't discuss it on the main page for security reasons, but will soon begin openly recruiting nations into our defense force.

If you need anything, please ask and it will be taken under advisement. The wording of the intital p[osts in this thread were somewhat misleading. Perhaps that was the intention?

It never was the intention. It was, however, SA's intentions. England has had a long and bad history with him.

Bweezy sent me this a minute ago "We have three Brits in our midst - Carbanousa, Boardz, and Dobsonator. They may want to help."

I'll keep you all informed of the plans. Thanks for you help. I've post a message on England's cabinet forum that I have 3 Canadians willing to help.

I guessed as much. Submit an equally confusing post to throw potiential interventionists off the scent whilst formulating a coordinated strike.

Probably not... more likely trying to cause dissent among us. I guess I should clear that up on England's civil HQ.

For any interested Nations:

During the England crises, the Dogs of War Alliance has been upgraded to Red alert. If any Nations wish to involve themselves in ending this predicament, either post your interest here or PM me.
When we have official notification that the England crisis is over, the Dogs of War Alliance will return to operational standby status.

Although the England situtation seems to have keeled off, the Dogs of War shall remain at Yellow Alert in case of our assistance being needed.

I will now go on record as saying that Canada, under no circumstances, can support England in this crisis.

They have misled their own people as follows:

Resine has also been helping in pull together allies from Canada and other regions which must be kept secret as they are smaller and could be attacked.

This "secret" was posted in a PUBLIC FORUM.

I'm sorry to any people from England reading this forum, but your Delegate is a complete and utter moron.

Canada will under no circumstances support a region led by someone who has demonstrated such stupidity.

In making this erroneous statement, England has put Canada's regional security at risk.

Secondly, need I remind everyone that Canada IS OFFICIALLY NEUTRAL in this conflict. I have been actively engaging the Irish in trying to come to a peaceful diplomatic settlement. As a result of His Majesty's unprecedented stupidity, WE WILL NOT OFFER MILITARY SUPPORT TO ENGLAND IN THIS CONFLICT SO LONG AS I AM DELEGATE.

I hope I have made myself clear. I will now copy this transmission and send it to Irelands Foreign Minister and its Delegate, in hopes that our relations are not damaged by the idiotic ramblings of His Majesty.

Well I'm sorry to hear that, but it's your right as delegate. All I ask now that you don't influence Australia's decision.

England will no longer pursue any help from your region, according to your wishes. I thank you for the time and efforts you have already spent for England. I hope to see our two regions have better relations in the future.

Leisine

mavenu's UN nation has been moved to Canada, and has endosered the delegate, due to the post 2 above this one.

This is a temporary move, until next sunday.

*Very cystal clear*

Crystal.

Thanks Mavenu. I think we'll be ok. I've contacted the Irish and let them know of my anger with the English. But we can never be too safe, so your endorsement is appreciated. While you're at it, I'd encourage you to endorse Checkers McDog, Micon, and Carbanousa.

Good work mavenu. Nice to know there are people we can count on in a crisis.

Sorry, my UN nation has not left due to my ISP being down. (grr...roger's cable internet) They said a couple of days (yesterday).

Techonology man... Can't live with it, can't live without it. :wacko:

too true, Carbanousa, too true.

And im studying to enter the printing industry, so technology changes, oh, six months about. (course, not everyone adopts)

anyways, i have now moved my un nation out of the region, as i had previously said i would.

Actually the only surefire way to prevent regional domination is to have the founder of a region give himself absolute power over the region. And if the founder were to ever disappear from the region then the remaining members agree to create a new region. This whole delegate thing is folly. It's subject to failure from the beginning. Of course this doesnt and cant translate to real life. So don't try using that as an arguing point. Situations in the real world are much different than those in NS.

Anyways I elect to keep myself out of UN policy. Theres too much foolishness in the NS UN to even want to pay attention.
