    Although we are not particularly in need of food at the moment we are always interested in new trade possibilities. Do you have something specific you are after in return, or simply a general trade agreement. We will begin setting up a trade route in preparation for your response.

    Response to the Great Fleet, addressed to the world

    In these past days we have seen the circus that is the Great Fleet. One Captain steps forward and offers an opening to peace, but before the coalition has the time to convene and determine the minimum steps towards said peace, another ship shouts out in favor of wanton violence and bloodshed. Before it can be determined the extent to which each of these opposing factions hold sway over the fleet, the Great Fleet triggers an act of mass suicide, citizens standing stolidly as they destroy their own rig cities.

    As such, we at Sanctum cannot feel safe, particularly when their religious leaders claim our head of state is the demon. It is with great sadness that Sanctum will continue its campaign against the Great Fleet until such a time that the Great Fleet is willing to negotiate seriously, as an overwhelming majority.

    Coalition and New Way Forward: Battle Plans*
    Spoiler
    Show
    Any member of the coalition can feel free to step down at this time. We ask that if you stay on, that you continue to do so until a peace can be reached between the Great Fleet and all member nations of the coalition. At this point we also welcome the New Way Forward into the coalition if it is still their wish.

    For those who wish to stop the Great Fleet's continuing threat, we must force them into a position of helplessness, a position that they no longer have an ability to threaten us. This would mean to continue to defeat its military, and most importantly, to strike into the heart of the espionage. In order to ensure victory, this will take a combination of military might, economic dominance, and information gathering. Our plan is thus...
    1) The CSA use its intel to discover what the Great Fleet is doing and why it destroyed its own cities
    2) Creating dissension by offering less zealous Captains positions within our own navies.
    3) Committing surgical strieks against the Great Fleet's espionage operations to be conducted by a joint effort of the Eurasian Union and Sanctum, later to be joined by the CSA.
    4) Continuing pressure on its military using USA and New Way Forward's air and space superiority as well as sweeps of the oceans by constant surveillance and patrols.
    5) Strong defensive preparations, and tightening security, ensuring that the only way for the Great Fleet to harm one of us at home is by over-committing its resources, resources that will cost what remains of their defensive capabilities.

    Sanctum will accept their surrender if it is given by a majority of their remaining ships.

    The Great Fleet

    Another broadcast from the Glory
    Celebrate my children for the time of Descent is at hand! Now we must return to the waters that birthed our ancestors and shed these pathetic bodies for one more fitting as Masters of the Oceans! At this point the viewers can see the Glory filling with water. None of the people aboard seem to care as they are fixated upon the speech given by their captain. Some of us shall remain to protect the ocean. They delay their return not out of fear or cowardince but in order to become Guardians! In our new life remember their sacrifice and be humbled, but not ashamed but rather proud that you can call such people brother! By this time the water is up to their necks and most of the crewmembers are treading water. Before the speech and go on the camera goes black.

    More Rig Cities
    The rest of the Rig Cities also sink. This takes much longer due using much less explosives but they all sink in the end. Nearly the entire population of each follows the Rig Cities down into the depths. Many other ships in the Great Fleet follow suit and sink their own ships along with their crews.

    In the underwater cities radio silence will be maintained to hide the presence of the new cities. It will recive signals if they are strong enough but won't transmit anything. Now if I detect any submarines or research vessels that come too close to any of my cities, I'll use my giant monsters to attack them. Make sure they go at them from the side where submarines aren't armed. They will be dragged down and cut apart flooding the compartments.

    You must understand that the Federation is not an union of states but a single nation. There may be friction between people living in west Paris and people living in east Paris but the decision making prodecures are the same for both, and thus everybody gets their say in proportion to their numbers, as in any democracy.

    The people of Greenland have reacted with shock today at the news of the Great Fleet's mass sucide. The media have nicknamed the event 'Drowned Wednesday' (which is a lot more catchy in Greenlandic.)
    Despite the tragic nature of the news, one comedy news program has speculated that the Church of Aqua have turned thier followers into robotic mermaids. The poor taste of the joke has been officially condemned, and the writer demoted.
    Chairman Kattak has released the following official statement:
    We have seen a dark day. Fanaticsm and poor government have led the Great Fleet to an unthinkable act, a tragic act. Greenland wishes its condolances to eveyone who has lost loved ones to this insanity. If there are any survivors, we welcome you to the shelter of our land as refugees.

    We thank you for your recent message proposing a trade agreement. However, before we move forward on negotiations, I must clarify one point. Your message - perhaps it is clumsily worded -says "after which we will inform you of any of our facilities within your territory". I would like to clarify that all territory within the borders of Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Greenland are our sovreign territory, regarless of altitude. If therefore, as your message implies, you already have established a facility within our territory, we will have no choice but to consider it an invasion. If there is such a facility we require you to inform us immediatly before we find it for ourselves.
    I hope this has been a misunderstanding or mistranslation of your message. In Greenland we have a saying, Umiatsiaasara pullattagaq nimerussanik ulikkaarpoq, which translates as 'clarifications create friendship'. I hope our nations can continue on the road to frinedship.

    Certainly I understand that. But as in any Democracy, the peoples destinies are of course in their own hands. And the German lands, naturally, belong more to the German people than to the people in, say, Paris or Moscow. Suppose the German people want independence while the rest of the Federation wants them to stay. What would result from such an outcome?


    Independent German Coalition Pamphlet
    Spoiler
    Show
    The following excerpts are from campaign literature being circulated throughout Germany, especially the urban population centers. The Independent German Coalition is widely understood to be a wing of the Federal Labor Party, although the connection is unofficial. Although the petition hasn't even been completed to bring the issue to a vote, the literature is still widespread.

    "You may ask yourself--what does independence have to offer for me, the average German worker? The answer has been laid out, time and again, in practice by the great Chancellor Gustav Hiltz. In the Eurasian Federation, our vote is marginal. We are bullied. What does independence mean for us? Freedom! We can finally shape our own destinies! Control of the lives of our selves and our people."

    [...]

    "For too long have the European conglomerations taken advantage of our industrious peoples. They exploit our industry and overtax our people!"

    [...]

    "The new Eurasian Imperium is an unsustainable blight on the bright, German principles which founded the German states in ages past."

    [...]

    "In our sovereignty, only, can we regain the strength of our former self. Can we rise up and take command of ourselves."

    [...]

    "The expansionist Eurasian Federation cannot for long continue it's aggressive Imperialism. It will fall! German backs will be expected to bear the burden of the collapsing Federation. That we shall not do, we who have for so long been taken advantage of."

    [...]

    "We are not separatists. We bear no ill will against the Eurasian Federation. Let them command their peoples, and we shall rule ourselves. Is such a thing too heavy a demand?"

    [...]

    "One people. One Germany."

    Please excuse the misunderstanding. That clause of the agreement was added after multiple requests for our location by other current trading partners, including the EU. We had hoped to pre-empt any confusion, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. Rest assured that we currently have no facilities within your sovereign territory, an have no plans to construct any before receiving authorization from your government.

    We hope that this misunderstanding will not hinder future relations between our two great nations.

    With the globalization and world-village movements pre-war and the refugees caused by it, we find that the cultures and ethnicities have mixed up too much for there to be any place for any sort of a nationalist sentiment in today's world. Germans are whoever lives in Germany, and they of course have the right to affect their own situation by advocating their policies in the central decision-making processes of the Federation.

    We thank you for your offer to help us with economic recovery. At this time we will decline. The funds that will come in from the opening of trade with the West will be enough to replenish our losses.

    We would be interested in negotaited with more reasonable Captains if it can be arranged. Know though, that it is Sanctum's belief that there is something deeper to the sinking of the oil rigs than just a middle finger to the world. If you have any information on the matter, it would be an immense help to the coalition and clear the Triumverate's name of any prior dealings with the Great Fleet.

    As to Nepal, as long as their leaders wish for your help, then we see no reason to take objection.

    And what if the Germans feel differently? You are quite right. The world did abandon it's regional culture before the war. And we see how it ended. The Germans want independence, Mr. President. They are circulating a petition to take control of their lands, their farms, their factories, and their people. All indications show that the petition will gather enough signatures and the issue will be brought to vote. If they are so inclined for independence come election-day, would you deny them?

    I'm launching an economic attack on the market, trying to get me some more Americas gold. (bad writing was intentional)

    Triumvirate and New Germany are using our Economy and Technology together to produce Valkyrie Drones - a cheap and fast way of transporting of goods, over long distances.

    So Triumvirate uses its awesome Economic might to take over Sanctum and USA's exports/imports market share in Americas. They were both hit by powerful tsunamis, so their overseas shipping was greatly disrupted. This means their deliveries to and from Americas are delayed and reduced. Triumvirate moves in, before they can recover, delivering the same goods from our Industries, using the highly efficient Valkyrie Drones transportation method. For goods Triumvirate can't supply, it delivers from Sanctum and USA.

    Triumvirate Economy: +++++ +++-

    USA: ++++

    Triumvirate would be interested in any of those:

    1. Non-Military Technologies
    2. A joint-project to develop Orion Drive.
    3. NWF's assistance to Canada in developing their Technological base. (further negotiations required)
    4. Political assistance in America, if NWF has any influence there.

    You should know that Canada has surplus foodstuffs, its willing to sell at reasonable prices. If NWF wishes to prepare a food reserve, in case of an emergency, you can negotiate with them.

    If the majority's will over a region is a feasible form of secession from the Federation, it'll be done. It'll take years of negotiation - after all, the area around what used to be Germany is the center of the first European Union and the birthplace of the second, as well as the Federation's head. Every public institution, every private enterprise, all industry and military organizations would need to be recreated from scratch. It'll take years, but if that's the direction the people wish to go, of course they won't be denied.

    Intresting. We would also be happy to help with the construction of an Orion drive, but we will need to wait to free up some research divisions. We could help canada to develop technology. What specifically did you want?
    Political assisatance... Well, we have some influence, but not a huge amount. What do you want us to do?

    New Germany

    Everywhere across the world, news broadcasters carried similar stories. They went something like this;

    "New Germany's Executive Chancellor, Gustav Hiltz is making international news, today, and not just for the New Labor Party's aggressive campaign to cede former German territories from the Eurasian Federation, or for publishing yet another book. No, this time he's inspiring science-supporters across the world. Let's play the clip."

    Gustav stood at one of his hundred-thousand man rallies, waving his hands in the air and shouting as the throng bellowed back at him in applause.

    "Science," he shouted into the microphone "is the greatest tool of man! Yet, for decades we have let our frontiers close in on us. Where once we looked to the distant reaches of the unknown, now we relegate ourselves to stagnate and decay. All species in the animal kingdom, be they men or tiger or tree, are either in a state of decay, or expansion. I say, expand! Which is why, ladies and gentlemen, I promise you greater frontiers than have ever been known. I promise you men living upon Mars by 2135! I promise you German men on Mars by 2135! Hail Germany! Glory to the German people!"

    "There you have it," the newscasters spoke when the camera cut back to them. "Gustav Hiltz--men on Mars in 10 years. Possible? Or pipe-dream? Martian aspirations were underway before the war, but remained stagnant as tensions escalated amongst world powers. By the time war broke out, Mars dreams were completely abandoned. Until, it seems, now. Only time will see the ultimate effectiveness of Gustav's plan, but he's certainly putting his money where his mouth is. In New Germany's recently released federal budget, scientists were pleased to learn that the budget for research and development of general science and space travel has tripled from the days of the Hapsburg Empire. Is New Germany trying to be the New, New Way Forward?" the generic newscasters smiled phony smiles at the pun. "Only time can tell. Until next time, signing out. Good night."

    • New Germany massively escalates research at the expense of economy. New German scientists concentrate on Space technology.

    Our scientists would like to assist in the development of the Orion Drive, particularly if your national space agencies would sign on to the task of colonizing Mars within 10 years.

    We can offer you minerals and ore if that is what you need. I would also reccommend our seafood exports as no doubt it has been a long time since your people have had access to fish, at least to all the varieties we can offer. As for what we would like, the peoples of the world are fascinated by the thought of a people living in space. Even tiny trinkets would be considered valuable for sentimental reasons. Beyond just small trinkets, we would be interested in anything you can offer to help us quickly rebuild our submarine core that had severe losses against the Great Fleet.

    Your attempts to deal with the Great Fleet are noble and just. However, whatever deal you wished to make with them seems to have faltered due to their stubborness. We will look to you first if the Great Fleet can gain some humility and surrender its war effort, but until they lay down their arms and their desire to ruthlessly control all the oceans for their own freedom, at the expense of the freedom of all the nations of the world, we petition you not to give them an opening by assisting them when we are on the verge of ending this conflict quickly and with much less loss than if this drags on.

We fully support the dream of New Germany, and are fully willing to support them in their quest to reach the stars.

    We will support your endevador (sp?). We are also willing to acclerate it wildly, by offering you use of our network of satellites and our space elevator to massively reduce the cost of the early stages, and also allowing you to build the project in our bays, without the need to fire each peice up bit by bit. We offer this for (+ Econ). Also, we can offer a vast boost in the early tech of the project. So, what say you?

    So, looks like we can make a deal. Of course, we have an excess of items like that which you described. We, unfortunately, have nothing whatsoever that could help with the submarine problem, as we have really not been in the sea for generations. We could provide some form of air support if you needed it though. As an alternative, perhaps we could strike a deal with use of our spy satellites? Say (+- Espoinage for + Econ)?

    The Americas Conference (incl. Sanctum and Greenland, New Germany can read)
    Spoiler
    Show

    Triumvirate believes in the future of Americas. We have worked with Canada, Argentina, Brazil, CSA and Mexico for the mutual profit and an investment plan for Alaska is in the works, even as I speak.

    America has an asset, that isn't easy to find in the world - good relations with your neighbors and sensible international policy. It is time to make this asset earn you the well deserved profits.

    Americas Free Trade Agreement (AFTA)

    We have seen how European Union has rebuild Europe by their combined economic might. The political stability and good relations between American nations allow you to do the same. By abolishing tariffs on trade, allowing free flow of capital and movements of people, all American nations can expect great increase in wealth and prosperity.

    Triumvirate can provide financial consultations, provide economic data and investment in the infostructure, such as highways and railroads, to help you reap most of the benefits of this agreement.

    Environmental Issues (incl. Sanctum and Greenland)

    The nations of Americas can use their combined economic might to finance a project that will help Earth's environment. I'm talking about the Oceans Garbage Patches. The Eco-Tec has project in development, that will recycle the plastic garbage that has accumulated in the oceans and poisons the earth eco-system.

    This is the time to let the world see, Great Fleet wasn't the only ''protector of the water''. The nations of land can take responsibility for the Oceans and we don't simply exploit them for resources. The Church Aqua has sent their message. It's time for American nations to send theirs.

    Triumvirate Projects

    There are also several projects, Triumvirate can offer you, that could be too expensive for a single nation to implement but if all of you pool resources and pursue them, the benefits will far outweigh the costs.

    Project I

    The new technology of the Valkyrie Drones will drastically cut the transportation costs over long distances. This will lead to a sharp increase of the Americas imports and exports. All you need to do is to subsidies your shipping companies so they can purchase the Valkyrie Drones or invest directly in Valkirie Technologies, that will establish new shipping companies in your nations, providing jobs for your people.

    I can't stress enough, just how profitable this technology would be for Americas. Valkyrie Technologies will focus on your market, which means you'll have a technological advantage over other nations of the world, on par with Eurasian Federation advanced technology.

    Project II

    The Triumvirate is keenly interested in restoration of the infostructure and industry in the Wildlands of Mexico. Our specialists have the unique technical expertise and experience in this type of work all over the world - Canada, Peru, New Africa. Our psychologists have the means of rehabilitating people, who had traumatic experiences, during the time of lawlessness and once again making them productive members of the society.

    Project III

    Triumvirate has been developing a new and improved Internet - the A-NET. It will solve numerous problems we have now - identity theft, hacking, spam, child pornography. The A-NET will have built in systems that will give governments censorship and data collection tools and allow identity tracking.

    The first step to this project would be preparation of the hardware and internet availability to all people of Americas. Triumvirate is ready to undertake this project and once the appropriate infostructure is ready, sell the A-NET to the nations of this conference.

    The Transoceanic Trade (Sanctum and Greenland)

    This part of the presentation is directed at our transoceanic trading partners. It is my intent to convince you to orient the majority of your international trade towards Americas.

    Americas is the most politically stable, peaceful and progressive continent on Earth at the moment. The Europe is still unstable, after the recent formation of Eurasian Federation. The emergence of Swiss terrorist group is just one sign of potential dangers in the region. Asia has a militaristic nation of Iran and the ongoing conflict in the Greater Japan, that may or may not be resolved. The Far East is at the brink of war, as Indonesian Warlords have divided into two camps. The Africa is peaceful now, but their economic potential can't be compared to the opportunities for growth in America, especially with the prospect of Mexico Wildlands restoration.

    If Sanctum and Greenland make the nations of Americas their main trading partner, they can expect reliability and constantly expanding market for their exports as well as profitable imports. The Valkyrie Technologies makes the distance negligible in the profit equation. This is a time of opportunity for you and I hope you will seize it.

    I'm buying shares of Eco-Tec before the conference. If other nations agree to foot the bill for ocean's clean up, the prices shoud spike. Plus it's a joint project, so we split the profit. If 1/3 of the stuff I propose at this conference passes, Triumvirate will make a killing
