Imperial Decree
Declaration of War Against the United Themata Republic


In many times in the history of Rokkenjima we have been forced to the field of battle to defend this land and her People from enemies both near and far; rarely have we deployed our armed forces in an offensive capacity, or in the service of foreign states. Indeed Rokkenjima was pleased to follow a path of non-interventionism and isolationism, content to allow the world around her to pass by so long as it respected her as a sovereign and free state. During the restoration of the Matriarchy I've cast off these antiquated and obsolete beliefs while working with our allies to construct the worlds preeminent alliance, championing progressive initiatives to share Islyna's blessings with the world around us, and through our efforts for peace and stability through supporting a Covenant of Nations.

The peace of our world has been disrupted by the United Themata Republic in a series of deplorable acts against her neighbours and own People. Through committing acts of hostility against the CSTO by arming and providing material aid to rebel forces in Vicarious, supporting and being involved in a coup against the legitimate government of Tytor, and an act of attempted assassination Themata has proven its interest in sowing instability throughout the world and seems to show no interest in living in peace and harmony, either internally or externally.

We've seen the several crimes against the Thematan people, crimes which have moved the international community to action. In unison the nations of the world have said 'no' to a continuation of a regime which kills its own people, robbing from them their land, resources, voices and very lives. To let such a regime stand a day longer would itself be a crime. The United Themata Republic, a regime which has failed in its most basic responsibilities as a state, has lost not only its legitimacy both domestically and foreignly, but also its mandate to govern the Thematan People.

In recognition of the above the First Empire of Rokkenjima hereby formally declares a state of war against the United Themata Republic. We shall not relent until a free Themata is born, to return to them their freedom and sovereignty from threats both domestic and foreign. The only options available to the regime are surrender or death; there shall not be an ounce of leniency shown to such a vile institution. The door of surrender shall be open for a period of 72 hours from the posting of this Declaration, after which the regime will have chosen the option of certain defeat and death.

That is all.

Empress of Rokkenjima

Passed by the Federal Assembly at the request of the Lord Protector.

Quote:
 
JOINT RESOLUTION Declaring that a state of war exists between the Government of the United Thematan Republic and the Government and the people of the Elpidian Federation and making provisions to prosecute the same.

Whereas the Government of the United Thematan Republic has committed gross abuses of human rights and dignity against its own people and threatened the peace and safety of our ally the First Empire of Neo Rokkenjima:

Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and Chamber of Deputies of the Elpidian Federation, That the state of war between the Elpidian Federation and the Government of the United Thematan Republic which has thus been thrust upon the Elpidian Federation is hereby formally declared; and the Lord Protector is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the Elpidian Federation and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the United Thematan Republic; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Federal Assembly of the Elpidian Federation

A Joint Communiqué from the Communist Quinntopia Foreign Affairs Commissariat and the Communist Quinntopia War Commissariat





To whom it may concern,

As a result of the egregious human rights abuses committed by the corporocratic regime of the United Themata Republic against its own people, as well as Themata's multiple acts of hostility towards her neighbours, for example, supporting Vicarian rebels, supporting the recent coup in Tytor, and particularly the attempted assassination of Comrade Beatrice, the People's Paradise of Communist Quinntopia hereby announces an official declaration of war against the United Themata Republic.

It is clear to Quinntopia that Themata has no interest in international friendship, choosing only to sow the seeds of violence and unrest in the Independent Order.

The People's Paradise of Communist Quinntopia hereby issues an ultimatum to the United Themata Republic, similar to that issued by the First Empire of Neo Rokkenjima. The corporocrats in charge of Themata must surrender or be completely obliterated by the People's Revolutionary Armed Forces. We shall allow Themata 72 hours to consider their decision. Should Themata not surrender within that time, Quinntopia shall show no mercy to the corrupt Thematan regime. The Thematan bourgeoisie regime shall be crushed.

Signed,

An Announcement from the Capital Building

Posted Image

Prellice, Blue Shadow.


This is an announcement not only for the citizens of Blue Shadow, but the citizens of all nations in the Independent Order. The last few weeks have been an uncertain time. A deplorable assassination attempt against the Empress Beatrice of Neo Rokkenjima. The fall of the Vicarious Empire. A coup against the monarchy of our neighbours in Tytor. All of these events have been attributed to the United Thematan Republic; though a nation has never been less deserving of the title of Republic: for the shocking actions committed within their own borders are the most egregious by far.

We had been working tirelessly along with various members of the international community to seek a peaceful resolution to the situation that has been developing during this time. The situation has been further exacerbated by the refusal of the Thematan regime to accept any wrongdoing, and the United Soviet Russia offering support to the unlawful regime.

Today, what we have striven to avoid, has become a reality. Unable or unwilling to live in a world where innocent people are subjugated and murdered by their own government, especially in light of the Thematan regime's inconstancy in the political scene, the First Empire of Neo Rokkenjima has declared war on Themata. Subsequently, Elpidia and the Communist Quinntopia have also declared a state of war against the United Thematan Republic.

We reach the crux of the issue.

Let it not be thought that we support warmongering. Let it not be thought that we support acts of aggression from one nation to another. But let it not be thought that Rokkenjima acts without just cause, or without the best of intentions. As a nation, a war is the last thing we wanted to be involved in. However, we joined the Covenant of Nations and we have a duty to provide our support to our allies. Rokkenjima, Elpidia, Quinntopia. They are our allies; Themata is not.

We do not declare war on the nation of Themata. But we will not sit idly by as our allies embark on a war with Themata that should never have occurred. As such, it has been agreed by the council, that the Federation of Blue Shadow will lend its weight, military and navy, to aid in the efforts to rid the world of a grossly rotten apple.

It is with great trepidation that His Majesty's government notes the declaration of war against the United Themata Republic by our allies: Rokkenjima, Elpidia, Blue Shadow and Quintopia.

It has always been an aim of His Majesty's government to ensure a peaceful resolution between Cross-Straits Treaty Organisation members and the rest of the Independent Order. However, we understand that the UAR has repeatedly refused to negotiate with us or our allies and has consistently violated the Human Rights of their people. We must remain united with our allies to ensure greater peace and stability in the region. We made a promise to do this and we will, without any doubt, keep to it.

In light of this, we regret to announce that a state of war now exists between the Kingdom of Dartfordia and the United Themata Republic.

The government of the United Thematan Republic has clarify its position regarding the attempted assassination of Beatrice Anselmo of Rokkenjima. It has failed to clarify its position regarding the current coup in Tytor. Since both cases are clear examples of unprovoked aggression, and because both cases indicate official government connivance, the Empire of Chernobereg sees the government of the United Thematan Republic as a threat to international peace.

Furthermore, the Empire of Chernobereg is obliged by its treaties with Rokkenjima and the other members of the CSTO to cooperate in any military action concerning the signatories. Since these signatories are now at war with the United Thematan Republic, the Empire of Chernobereg has no choice but to declare war on the United Thematan Republic.

The war will not end until a peaceable, popularly acknowledged, independent government rules Themata. Not before then, and not after.

The world war used to be a matter of the murder of Beatrice, but now that t is more of a revolutionary issue of freeing oppressed citizens, we have decided to remain neutral as of now, but may join a side in the future if any more issues occur.

To: The Honorable Jonathan L. Silverman, President of Great Jonathania

Sir,

It is with great pleasure that I hear that your nation has decided to maintain a course of neutrality in the Thematan conflict. Being such close neighbors I, and the Elpidian people, had greatly feared that lives would be lost in a pointless war between us if you were to side with the corrupt Thematan regime. We sincerely hope that future events will not bring us to the brink of war again.

Yours,
His Excellency Edward Truden, Lord Protector of the Elpidian Federation

2nd Pavilo Issue to the Order




Last night, we, the 2nd Pavilo, and the Doyen himself had a very undisclosed meeting regarding our statuses on the United Themata Republic and its wrongful doings. It was a one-time meeting, a meeting that we will never have again. The Doyen's opinions on Themata itself along with the shocking, cruel horror that is within Themata, were extremely negative, and said quote, "If Themata poses a serious threat to anyone, even its own people, it is not our job to back away. It is our job to resolve conflicts, being that Novincia is one of the founders of the Covenant of Nations." After several hours of conversing, all of us, including Doyen Bournetsfi came to the conclusion of engaging our military support to the rebellion in Themata and close the wicked government.




The United Themata Republic not only endangers its neighbors, but the entire Independent Order. We have raised this Order to what it is today, and if any nation makes the decision to put a barrier on her prosperity, then we shall aid in resolving the conflict and once again establishing prosperity. Its torture and threat it has marked on its citizens has gone too far, and to Novincia's standards it has represented Themata as an unprincipled nation, and unable to operate itself. It has represented a lack of leadership and a lack of harmony. Though it has not harmed Novincia in any possible way, it has impacted our allies in, a majority, a negative way. Not only did they cause fear to its citizens, but have attempted to take the life of the leader of one of our allies, and for that we cannot stand idle.





As of now, the Constitutional Monarchy of Novincia has declared war on the United Themata Republic.



Signed,

The Republic of Albanor also intends to remain neutral until further notice. We cannot support a regime that commits genocide, but we also cannot support the communist rebels of Themata. Communism in Themata is not the answer, it will lead to more oppression not less. The military will remain on standby for fast reaction in case the situation changes.

And on a final note, I hope that the League of Allied Republics can endure even with the current situation in Themata.
