       IUS Declaration of War against the NCSA
   DIR By: Caos
       Date: September 3, 2014, 12:21 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       OOC: I'm going to be fighting the NCSA's region military, as is
       the rule when a foreign power threatens. The Secretary of
       Defense should be in charge of that, if I am correct. Any and
       all IUS states that wish to participate will be notifying me. If
       possible, I'll get them to RP over here. With congressional
       approval, of course. If not, then you may use my forums for
       that. Everyone ready? Good.
       So, here's the thing:
       No Nukes, no Chemical warfare, no Rods. Nothing like that. No
       controversial weapons of war. No PMT, alright? Good.

       > Observing from afar, we, the people of the IUS have come to
       one unanimous decision: the NCSA's government is inadequately
       prepared for their task. They oppress their people, and they are
       fraught with rebellions and uprising. Only recently has their
       government even started to clear out and create a safer area in
       the white area, which has, for the longest time, been the most
       dangerous place in the NCSA.
       >
       > Every day, nations cease to be in this corrupt government.
       Officials accept bribes on a daily basis, and those in power
       stay in power by breaking the laws that they themselves made.
       The highest of these even using techniques that they themselves
       sued another country for using against them.
       >
       > Day after day, the basic citizens of the NCSA, occupying
       regional government territory or not, are oppressed; their ways
       of life ripped apart by the army that swore to protect them.
       Atrocities are committed by basic members and their crimes go
       unnoticed. But no longer. No longer can another sovereign state
       watch this go unnoticed.
       >
       > And so, it is with heavy heart that the Government of the IUS,
       seeking to protect the sovereignty and basic rights of nations
       and people alike, declare on this day, Wednesday, September 3rd
       in the year of our Lord two thousand and fourteen, a state of
       war between the region of NCSA and the IUS.

       Far across the waves, beyond the icy northern waters of the top
       of the world, lay a region, on the other side of the world. The
       tops of the region were iced, large mountainous structures
       rising up from the snow in a show of geological power, brought
       on by not a mortal man, yet harvested, lived, and controlled by
       one. These icy peaks were surrounded by the frozen waters, ice
       bergs floating beyond the unfrozen ice sheet.
       Barely any lived in these waters, the ones who do rugged beyond
       comparison. These men who live here endure cold that even bitter
       winter regions would be frightened of. And these men do it on a
       daily basis, not a single one succumbing to the icy grips of
       death and their friends.
       Past these frozen wastelands were dotted cities of millions,
       like the bustling metropolises of the Midwest, yet busier,
       bigger, and sometimes safer. These cities were few and far
       between, marked by wide roads that stretched dozens to hundreds
       of miles across the deserts of snow and ice never melting.
       Occasionally, the iced walls of a stone walled fortress would
       protrude from the depths of white, even rarer than the walled
       cities were. But these were not cities of civilians, but of men
       of steel and titanium: Soldiers, even harder than those who
       lived farther up north.
       Farther down south, the waters warmed up some, leaving instead
       of sheets of ice, chunks, floating carelessly in the water as a
       menace to navigation and ships alike. It was in these warmer
       waters that the strongest hulled of warships floated, their
       metal hulls bashing and crushing ice flows beneath their wake as
       easily as hot knives cut through butter. And it is beneath these
       waves that titanium hulled submarines patrol, their sharp and
       hard bridges cutting through the flows with less ease.
       More cities dotted these landscapes, with forests appearing
       amongst the light dotted landscapes of snow, ice, and death.
       Airfields, planes, and wheeled cars patrolled these lands,
       instead of military grade tractors, helicopters and aircraft of
       the deep north. Further down south now, the diversity of life,
       east and west, is realized.
       Warmer landscapes and forests appear, and ice becomes a winter
       only thing, feared by the warmest climates only in the air, but
       revered in their drinks as heat waves pass over them. Cities are
       common, with country homes being the rarest. Fortresses now
       would dot all aspects of the land, and open topped cars and even
       motorbikes are more common than military vehicles would ever be.
       Swamps dot the landscapes like the deep north fortresses did,
       with the rarest of life forms living where humans interact.
       Only the dumbest from here travel to the deep north to converse
       in private with people, most preferring to do it over phone.
       Rarely, though, a plane from the deep north would take off to
       the icy planes, and even more rarely never to return again.
       It is here where the most live, the climate perfect for outdoor
       activities. But these people can be soft, taking their lands for
       granted, their freedoms like taxes: something they will always
       have. Even more south was people, living in these extreme
       conditions. The further south one went, the more the climate
       changes repeated themselves, until a frozen wasteland inhabited
       by nothing known to man was.
       These were the diverse and ever changing lands of the
       International Union of States. These were the free, unoppressed
       peoples. It was here, in these lands, that the military of the
       government and the people was mobilizing under one banner:
       Freedom and liberation. Each nation, commanded by a different
       leader and different officer, came together to fight against an
       oppressing region. Among these nations were famous leaders,
       generals and tacticians unrivaled in the field of war and
       strategy.
       And it was here that these men boarded their own ships, massive
       warships of navies large and small, a spearhead formed by the
       largest nations. Millions of people were waiting ashore, and
       hundreds of thousands were aboard their ships, waiting for
       transport.
       This was the liberation force, commanded by a man unknown to the
       NCSA so far. There was a good chance, however, that they would
       come to know him, and know him well as the liberator of the
       oppressing government. They would know him. And they would come
       to fear him, and some would come to fear him as Death, The
       Destroyer of Worlds.
