Elimparra, the people of the REA would like the right to send orbiters, rovers, and landers to your deep space holdings for scientific purposes

Miss Chicken, the REA would like to claim the remaining moons of Jupiter and Saturn for space exploration, scientific advancement, and future mineral retrieval.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

^ Sure. Maybe a joint venture between the ElimParra Space Coalition (EPSC) and REA could be an idea for the future. That can be done. I'm also claiming all moons of Neptune and Uranus and also claiming Pluto and restoring it as a planet again.

 

[Captain Ice]

The Republic of Eastern America Space Exploration Agency (RSEA) concurs and recognizes Pluto for the planet it is.

 

[T'Bonz]

You cannot rule more the 50 million people so some countries will have to be broken up. Major cities can become city states.

You must tell me how you will honour Miss Chicken (statues, cities named after me etc)

You must tell me how you will rule your 'kingdom', how you will develop it and how you will treat your peasants etc. You can rename your countries if you like.

You are free to indulge in wars with each for my amusement.

1. I want Michigan. Why? It contains Romulus and Remus. The reason for my desire for those locations should be obvious to all TrekBBS denizens.

2. I want Pittsburgh, Pa. Hey, even Romulans need a place to call home.

How will I honour you (besides putting a "u" in "honor"? ). Catgut and fried chicken will be absolutely off-limits in my Empires.

How will I run my Empires? With an iron fist and copious amounts of Romulan ale. (the empty bottles will double as weapons.) All peasants will worship ME and of course, the Pittsburgh Steelers (worship of the Pittsburgh Penguins *may* be optional and as for the Pittsburgh Pirates? Fuggedaboudit!)

Those who transgress will be sent to my prison city, Detroit, where they are on their own. To be fair, they will be issued ale and fire extinguishers, double of each on Devil's Night.

Michigan (minus the prison city) will be renamed the Romulan Star Empire. Pittsburgh may retain its own name. Detroit? Fuggedaboudit.

There ya go. Them's my requests.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I'll have to put my troops on alert ...

In accordance with the peace treaty between our peoples, the REA Military Secretary and our Joint Chiefs have ordered two battalions of Abrams tanks, two ground cavalry brigades, two battalions of air cavalry, three squadrons of AH-64 helicopters, two A-10 wings, two F-22 wings, two F/A-18 wings each deployed to the western borders of Arkansas and Louisiana. The aircraft carriers REA George Washington and REA Ronald Reagan have been ordered to deploy to the Gulf of Mexico with their task groups as well.

We are prepared to support our Mexican allies should the need arise.

And we thank you greatly.

Also, our navy would like to build an aircraft carrier of our own. Would you be able to provide technical assistance in our great work?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I humbly request Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Albania be added to my holdings.

I grant these requests.

How much of the world is untaken? I believe there are large areas of Asia and Africa left.

I also humbly requested the southern part of California, which is unclaimed.

 

[captcalhoun]

I accept the surrender of Oklahoma. However, you must surrender the counties of Texas or be bombed back to the Devonian. No excuses. you can take all Eastern Europe for all i care, but I will not tolerate anyone stealing my turf. and Texas is mine!

 

[MetalPants]

You do realize that aside from the Russian federation, Ukraine is the largest inheritor of the Soviet Unions tactical intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, right? Add into that the combined military forces of my other European holdings, and you'll find yourself in quite a pinch. If you want to make Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a game of kick the can, I'll oblige you.

Is four counties in Texas worth this? Four counties that I laid claim to well before you laid claim to Texas.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'm claiming Saturn's moon Titan and Jupiter's moon Europa.

Miss Chicken, the REA would like to claim the remaining moons of Jupiter and Saturn for space exploration, scientific advancement, and future mineral retrieval.

Hold on a sec, guys. I already put dibs on Venus and Jupiter, including all moons and Trojans; we need a ruling from Miss Chicken.

is four counties in Texas worth getting Eastern Europe nuked for?

i'm trying to reunify the USA here!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Reunifying the US would be awesome-- under the civilizing auspices of Super New England.

Quote the thread that you first asked for them. I am too lazy to go back and look - after all I am a cat.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

^ Here it is.

^ That's nice. The fabulous ruler of England and its (possible) territories is just mad with power and doesn't really care. If you get something I want something bigger.

Super New England acknowledges your prior claim to Mars. We will henceforth devote our non-Lunar astronautical resources to Venus and Jupiter (including the Trojan Territories).

If you give me Europa, I won't be mean to your car and set it on fire sometime in the future.

I would also like claim to the Asteroid Belt.

Sure. We have one under construction at the Newport News Shipbuilding facility in Virginia. Have your technical experts relocate up there for a few months and we'll help you design the ship. Newport News may even have the capacity to bid on and build it for you.

Or the genteel, southern rule of the REA. And we will react to a war in Texas with force if need be. If you don't believe me, take a look at the troop strength currently stationed on you eastern border.

Excellent. My experts will arrive by the end of the week. Perhaps we shall make a bid ...

 

[Thor Damar]

The RUC would like to claim Uranus and its moons, with we shall name Urectum in order to stop those stupid jokes. Also Neptune of possible.

 

[Eyes]

The KoK sees little need to expand its holdings to other worlds. There's no peasants to rule over there, for a start, and they're just lumps of useless rock.

Speaking of peasants, I believe the Aral Sea is nearing completion. There will be soon more beaches in our glorious kingdom, clothing-optional of course. And the peasants will work ever harder to ensure a good time for any foreign visitors. (I'm thinking of making our national airline offer cheap flights to anywhere within the kingdom, increase the tourism profits etc). The only opposition to my rule has been from pesky Afghan hill tribes, but well...

I would also like to open up embassies from other nations in order to establish more diplomatic talks. The Kingdom only seeks peace, since it is aware that it needs allies outside its sphere of influence.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

The RUC would like to claim Uranus and its moons, with we shall name Urectum in order to stop those stupid jokes. Also Neptune of possible.

My nation will correct its school textbooks at once. All children/chicks throughout the realm will now learn of Urectum. Yes.

In official matters pertaining to the latest wave of territorial expansion, the Nasat Realm of Ross will claim the two most southern provinces of Argentina if they remain unclaimed by others. We have no interest in the northern or central regions, which are disturbingly tropical while lacking in beaches, and thus unsuited for penguins. One or the other is fine (see, Galapagos), but both...we think not. I therefore ask of the Great Three-Legged one that I be granted control of Chubut and Santa Cruz. My colonists in Chile and the Falklands are prepared to establish the initial wave of new settlements, aided by the locals. Left powerless and forgotten by this great rearrangement of global territory, the locals cry out for strong leadership to restore them to prominence. The Nasat will provide that leadership, and boost local economies by designating the region my trade capital and centre for international goods distribution, creating many job opportunities. The universities will also receive funding, to increase the number of highly educated folk and literati in my nation (sadly lacking at present, due to the general size of the penguin brain). My human citizens fed up of Antarctica can also emigrate here in numbers.

The city of Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut's most prominant, will be renamed Argenchickentavis. Its nickname, Capital of the Winds, will remain in use. I have no desire to end its productive wind-energy power generation programs.

If not Urectum, then Chubut.

pffft. ever hear the phrase 'target rich environment'? who's the one with the strategic bomber fleet capable of launching stand-off PGMs including air-launched cruise missiles, JDAMs, JSOWs, cluster bombs, anti-radar and anti-ship missiles and nuclear bombs.

and remember, i have stealth bombers. never see them come, never see them go.

your aircraft carriers are nothing more than fat wallowing targets, like pigs in mud.

I have already dispatched a full diplomatic mission to the Kingdom and look forward to a long and prosperous alliance.

Furthermore I have news of several recent advancements in RUC tech. The first is the BLESSED PAISLEY (otherwise know as the X250) a revolutionary weapons system that unitizes sonic waves to devastating effect even at low levels. Secondly I am proud to announce that the Union has entered space with the launch of the high impulse vessel Chekhov developed at our state of the art Merlin institutes.

The Union is pleased to recognize the new territories of the Realm including Chubut.
