The Clanon City Times

And so our brave boys began the crusade today to beat the commie thugs to the South who had been harrasing poor Clandonian cotton farmers for months. The Prime Minister Chamberhilia in a vote last night called for the nation to pull together as the vote was passed by a vote of 363-7 the traitorous severn MP's were taken outside in the street and pubically humilated where local people pelted them with rotton fruit and vegtables before a Clandonanian Marine shot them in the head with his Lee Enfield No. 4 MK1 put a round in each of the commie bastards heads!

As of this time 500,000 of our brave boys go in, with our victorious aircorps flying overahead with several pilots downing and gunning down many Kocourkovian communists.

The Clandonian 12 inch rail gun Big Betty pounded a fortified postion for 48 hours, demolishing it by the time troops reached the scene the remaining soldiers had surrenderd with casulites in their tens of thousands. The Royal Tank Corps Maltidas crossed over with the Spitfires flying over machine gunning a group of Kocourkovians that had knocked out a Clandonian Herrington APC killing 6 soldiers. The Ministry of War said in a joint statement that they would continue until they got to the coast or every last communist was dead or in captivity.

The Concordat of Nord Belka abhors the idea that a group should be persecuted because of their socio-economic ideals. We demand that the hostilities cease. You have no motive for such an assault, aside from petty aims of conquest and illegal expansion of territory!

We bring this matter before the rest of the world, that they might also show sympathy with the plight of this innocent nation.



Upon hearing the news of the attack, the Kingdom of Easternmost Belka also does not condone this disproportionate and unprovoked use of force upon another nation. His Highness wishes to formally convey a pledge to provide humanitarian and diplomatic support, and to work with our northern Belkan neighbours in their bid to provide similar aid. Though our nations differ ideologically, it is the will of His Highness and the Council that we attempt to build bridges with the others of the Four Nations, not destroy them as you Clandonians are so willing to do.


The Free Republic of Belka Major, however, issues a statement to the direct contrary of its two neighbours, and praising the Clandonian initiative in 'cutting off the head of the viper before it has a chance to strike'. Whether this is genuine and sincere praise or simply to further illustrate, accentuate and define the enmity between the FRBM and its neighbours is not quite clear.

(Matildas weren't brought about until 1941, and the Spitfire's a bit too advanced. Think... early pre-Hurricane monoplanes...)

The Atlantian Empire's position on the independence of Kocourkov has always been clear. As a result, we are compelled to warn the Clandonian menace that such acts of aggression are not to be tolerated. If this campaign continues we will have no choice but to intervene on behalf of our Czech (Kocourkov comes from a Czech comedy) bretheren.

Telegram to the Atlantian and both Belkas Governments

The Clandonian goverment is willing to go the diplomatic way if attacks by the Bolshiviks stop on South Clandonia. We need to protect our people from this threat which is why the incursion went ahead due to numerous attacks on the area where we have oil instalations if these were destroyed it would be a great economical attack our country. We are willing to go into a ceasefire if the Kocourkovians stop all attacks.

Message to the Clandonians from the Kingdom of Easternmost Belka:

Will you agree to a peacekeeping force being dispatched to the border regions? The Kingdom of Easternmost Belka is willing to send a contingent of forces to ensure that the borders are preserved, and no attacks from either side are perpetrated. We have discussed this with the foreign minister of the Concordat of Nord Belka, and they too are willing to perform such a peacekeeping role.

Assuming that the Kocourkovese also agree, perhaps this can allow us to reach a peaceful solution rather than with unnecessary loss of life.

Message to the Atlantian Empire

We have approached the Clandonians with the offer of a peacekeeping expeditionary force to try and resolve this dispute without open war between the two nations. Neither Clandonia nor the Kocourkovese can afford this conflict, one which is sure to drag their neighbours in. We invite your people to join the peacekeeping contingent. Perhaps joint diplomatic pressure, accompanied with a display of unity, will stay the hand of war.

[chemical ali]

Clandonia agrees but if continued agresion from the Kocourkovians occurs then we will defend our people and land. However we will allow Belkan troops in to act as peacekeepers.

[MSpencer]

The following conditions will be set:
1. Immediate removal of troops with absolutely no exceptions.
2. Removal of forces to be at least 50 miles from the border, creating a buffer zone.
3. Immediate cessation of hostilities.
4. Repatriation of all Kocourkovi prisoners.

If these are not followed, a state of war will exist between our two countries.

[Ash]

The first contingent of the peacekeeping force (not less than two thousand servicemen) will be deployed within the week. We (the Kingdom of Easternmost Belka and the Concordat of Nord Belka) will enforce and patrol the aforementioned bufferzone, and ensure no attacks of any kind are conducted by either party. Any military incursion of the buffer zone by either side will be an act of aggression, and will be turned back.

We hope that this course of action is acceptable.

((OOC: Spence, I presume that last statement was from Kocourkov...you will have to make the distinction ))

(No no, that's from my country)

Joint Atlantian - Kocourkovi Statement

In the face of the aggressor, the government of the Atlantian Empire and the Socialist Union of Kocourkov have signed a decree today confirming the Atlantian guarantee of its independence, and pledging a united front if such needs should arise. The signature marks the creation of the Exoan Co-Prosperity Sphere, with Kocourkov as its first member, the purpose being the defense of smaller developing nations against neo-imperialist tendencies. The charter of the pact states that, if threatened by an external power, the Atlantian Empire will unilaterally support the current Kocourkovi regime in any measures required to remain independent.

[chemical ali]

The points will be noted providing the Kocourkovians follow the same rules.

[MSpencer]

Your lack of conformity is leaving us with no choice. The Atlantian Empire will be deploying expeditionary forces if you do not agree unconditionally to the terms set forth.

[Ash]

As far as the Kingdom and Concordat are concerned, Clandonia have complied satisfactorily. As long as Kocourkov keep to the bargain as well, we would consider Atlantian intervention other than a peacekeeping force to be wholly unjustified.

Secret addendum given to the Atlantians:

Please, we are attempting to resolve this peacefully. Bandying threats is hardly going to bring about a peaceful solution, especially when they are directed at a state which is clearly openly aggressive. Surely it is better to diffuse the situation?

Between our nations, we feel much the same way as you do. Better to appease rather than to antagonise, if only to give our nations time to prepare for the worst.

~Mikal Dalavan, Commissar for Foreign Policy,
Concordat of Nord Belka

[MSpencer]

Nothing but full withdrawal will be tolerated. Our support for the Kocourkov regime has never been a secret, and we do not fear direct intervention if the fools plan on contesting these points. Clandonian imperialism will not be tolerated.

As a result, the Imperial Atlantian Army will be sending a full infantry division with an engineering detachment to Kocourkov to assist in reconstruction and to begin the construction of extensive border defenses.

Perhaps this is Atlantian imperialism!

Clandonia has given into the demands, we are withdrawing all military forces to 50 miles away and our guns stopped firing 12 hours ago. Our forces have withdrawn from the combat area as we speak.

The Most Holy Empire would like to state that our gods, and as such Government, have no opinion on this issue. May blood not be spilled.
