| The Timorah Islands: Cherished and Valued |
*the Envoy arrives*
"We appreciate your concern for your sovereign territories, however, it is unnecessary. We mine the Adamantisles only for Diamonds, mostly because that is our current greatest need, but also because if we mined sapphires here, the Sapphire Miners Union back on the mainland would be quite unhappy. Ultimately you need not fear us, unless Sapphireland is a misnomer. In fact I have been authorized to propose an alliance. These Islands are vast, and mostly unexplored and not yet surveyed. If in your exploration of the Isles, you come across diamond deposits, tell us so that we may colonize there, and in exchange we shall do the same for you, every island we find with no diamonds shall be yours." *the envoy holds the treaty for you enticingly*

*Ryccian Diplomats and Ambassidors arrive*.
"Im sorry. We cannot do this alliance. These islands are rich in almost every precious material in the world. We, the Ryccian Government, would like to keep the minerals that we find and the islands we find to ourselves, since we are discovering them. We appreciate every mineral, but we appreciate Sapphires and Diamonds in specific. We are sorry. We cannot make this alliance". Minutes later, because of fear of the UFI, Ryccia has deployed 100,000 soldiers in Sapphireland and another new town, Diamondshine. This new town has over 15,000 citizens. Sapphireland has now 85,000 residents, so that would make Ryccia's Island's Population over 100,000 civilians and 100,000 soldiers.

*Days pass, The Union of Free Individuals increases its military presence on the Triangisles, its population has doubled, as the dreaded Free Individuals Militia has three entire companies. This means there are 230,000 trained and well equipped soldiers on the Triangisles, Furthermore, your spies tell you that while they will not mobilize for a war, the civilian populous are all armed and prepared to defend themselves.*
*The first envoys sent to you have been recalled and now a new envoy has landed and demanded and audience. He is a young, grim man, with chiseled features and a cold, uncaring expression.* "We offered you a more then fair deal, and you rejected us and militarized your islands. In response to this, The Union of Free Individuals has invited the Free Individuals Militia to the Triangisles, to protect it from any and all attacks. Far more provocative was your founding a town on a rich diamond mine, that has long been considered a valued territory of The Union of Free Individuals. So provocative in fact that the Chairman of the Union himself almost declared war over it, however, more open minds in the Federal High Council prevailed, and have decided to offer you one last deal. Firstly, you will abandon Diamondshine to The Union of Free individuals, you will have one day to announce your compliance, and then you will be allowed a fortnight to evacuate whatever citizens wish to remain under your totalitarian, socialist regime. In exchange, you will be given maps, extensive survey data, and our initial outposts of four islands that we have explored which are rich in rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tiger hides, topaz, opals, and other precious gems... wait a minute tiger hides???" *the envoy turns to his geological adviser, who despite standing next to him the entire time has somehow escaped your notice before now, and has a heated discussion about the difference of tigers eye and tigers hides, the impossibility of tiger hides being a mineral, and finally whether or not the reports could have been misleading* *the Envoy resumes talking to you* "Ahem, yes well apparently the tiger hides are not naturally occurring, but are the long lost treasure stash of Barnaboyle Black-beak, the dread pirate of the Adamantisles, buried over four hundred years ago, and uncovered by the survey. Regardless of that minor detail, they are still four very rich islands, and you would be wise to except this new deal. Failure to comply will result in unnecessary bloodshed that you can avoid with this simple act, right now. You have one day to consider your reply."

Izadora Island, Ryccia...
"We will not accept this! Its war if you want it the hard way!". Hours later, 1 million soldiers invaded UFI's islands as a sign of hostility. "That's only 1/30 of OUR army! Surrender now and apologize and we will go on you good! Or else... We'll take your islands violently!".

*A wideband broadcast is sent over emergency frequencies. The Chairman of the Union is on the screen, and is preparing to address the people of the world.*
"At approximately three forty five this after noon, negotiations with the Ryccian governments broke done, and they have begun hostilities. They have already deployed one million soldiers against our peaceful Triangisles settlements, and even now the brave Individuals fight for their lives, their homes, and their country. Our Peacekeeping forces, the brave men and women of the Free Individuals Militia find themselves outnumbered, and in dire need of assistance. Reports of the atrocities the Ryccians are committing upon the isles inhabitants, and on our brave freedom fighters are too horrible to describe. Therefore, with the emergency powers invested in me by the Federal High Council, I hereby declare that there is a state of war between The Federal Republic of The Union of Free Individuals and the Constitutional Monarchy of Ryccia. Even now, nine thousand Union Space Marines are in high orbit above the Triangisles, and are preparing to fall upon the attackers like meteors, driving them from our once peaceful shores. Of course, the Space Marines do not act alone, for the Federal Navy has dispatched two of our finest aircraft carriers, the F.S.S. Cry of Freedom , and the F.S.S. Entrepreneurial Spirit , each with a full destroyer escort, prepared to rain justice upon the Ryccian invaders. Our Stealth bombers are already in flight to bomb the supply lines of the Ryccian Troops that have invaded our lands. We are certain of a swift and decisive victory, and of our ability to hold the Isles from further attacks. However, an all out war against another industrial and nuclear power is not in the best interest of The Union of Free Individuals, and we therefore petition all nations of the south pacific and beyond to stand with us against the tyrannical Ryccians, and force their unconditional surrender. To my people, the individuals of this great Union, the brave freedom fighters of the Triangisles, I say to you, continue the fight, for soon the Ryccians will be forced to admit their folly, and we shall have the entire Adamantisles to restore the light of civilization to." *the image of the Chairman of the Union dissolves into The Union of Free Individuals flag, and finally that fades to black. You turn around to speak to your advisers, and fine them lying on the ground dead, their throats slit, looks of surprise and terror still on their faces. Stabbed into your closest adviser is a bloodstained note, and on it is scrolled in thick, slurred handwriting, We also have Ninjas in your house.* Edit: OOC: A note on the Space Marines, throughout the whole time that I've played nation states, I have taken every ridiculously militant option, including genetic engineering, training worse then war-zones since birth, and power armor. These are not simple minions to be mowed down, these are nine foot tall, super strong, super fast, super intelligent, killing machines, clad in the strongest power armor known to man, with the mightiest arms known to man, they are as resilient as a tank and as devastating to fight against. They are my Space Marines, and they shall know no fear.

"Viceroy Edward, do you hear me? This is a hologram of me, the King". "Yes, your majesty". "Look, there's an attack being planned to destroy our invasion fleet. We will require the Space S.S Destruction of the Falcon". "You mean the one with the destruction beams that could destroy entire fleets?". "Yes, that one. Lightspeed it to the Timorah Islands and attack the UFI's Space Marines". "Right away Sir. That would be there in 5 minutes". 5 minutes later, the S.S DF arrived and began to attack the Space Marines of the UFI, making it hard to the UFI to strike back. "They threathen us first, we'll attack back".

*A hologram of The Chairman of the Union appears, frizzing out one of your less important advisers image.*
"My apologies your "majeste", but you have fallen right into our trap, while you have been fighting our Space Marines to a standstill with your mightiest star ship, you have made a strategic error. For you see by focusing on our announced counter invasion, you have failed to anticipate our counterstrike deep into your main territories. I am afraid that the one ship that might have been powerful enough to counter our bombing runs is sadly occupied. The explosions you'll soon be taking cover from, are brought to you by Krazy-o-Kola, The Union of Free Individuals national soft drink. You should not have provoked us, our strategy has been perfected by decades of conquering alien threats, and our tacticians have learned from every military academy in the solar system, even yours. Your military is large, for you exploit nearly all of the work of your citizens, ours may not be as great numerically, but as our recent re-liberation of the Triangisles proves, we fight harder then you, smarter then you, and with the certainty that our cause is just. Furthermore, your space based assault with your so-called "destruction beams" constitutes a breach of international treaty. As such we are no longer obligated to comply with the standards of conventional warfare, or the rules of war. You will surrender before midnight, if not, I will send you a list of all of your cities with more then 1 million citizens, and ask you to choose one of them for us to make disappear at noon Tomorrow. " *The Hologram Wavers briefly before the Chairman continues.* "Oh and congratulate your counter intelligence agency for me, so far my highly trained Ninjas have managed to dispatch over twenty decoys. It makes me wonder why you need to be so paranoid in the first place..."

"Look, Mr. Chairman. The only reason we are at war is because YOU tried to violate OUR national soverigenity! It is not fair for our people to abandon Diamondshine, that was on Izadora Island, the island that Ryccia has a colony! Our island! Mr. Chairman, please, let's just stop this war at once. But in a reasonable way, not the "UFI steals Ryccia's diamonds and violates national soverigenity" way. Ryccia is not your puppet state or your client state. On the opposite, we are independent of you".

"I'm am afraid that the time for negotiation has passed, you should have made a counter offer instead of invading our islands, regardless of what may or may not have occurred at the negotiation table, this war began when you invaded our islands. So far this war has been fought solely on our territory, and yet you call us the aggressors? You strode into our towns as if you owned them, exterminated entire villages if they resisted, you have wrought bloodshed, and terror, and death upon our peaceful settlers, and now the blood of my people cries out for vengeance, and it will not go unanswered. Not since our war for independence all those years ago has The Union of Free Individuals supported a war unanimously. Until now. After the horrors that have occurred, the people of The Union of Free Individuals will not accept peace until you surrender, and make reparations. However you are right about one thing, this war serves no one but the undertakers, I am certain that if you admit you are the aggressor party and make reparations to the individuals who's lives have been destroyed by your aggressive and unnecessary invasion, that a peace will be possible. If you admit your errors swiftly, I will agree to a truce so that we can discuss this like civilized gentlemen."
*the Chairman smiles* "I'll even call off my Ninja squads."

"Look Mr. Chairman, the Ryccian Military does not hurt civilians or destroys entire villages and towns. But you started it! You want to keep all the diamonds to yourselves, right?! Well Im not gonna allow that! I admit that there was an error on invading, but you are selfish. Let's just make a peace treaty. How about the islands we find are for Ryccia and the ones you find you keep them. Simple! After all, it is not fair to give up an island to another nation that wants its resources just simply because that nation said so. So let's end this war. The reasonable way. You don't keep the diamonds because "you said so". You gotta work to get those diamonds, as we are working to explore and find minerals. Come on. Ryccia is not your slave". *The King smiles as a signal to end this war*. "Also, we imprisioned the ninjas 4 hours ago. They are in Court now".
