Ruler of the World thread

[Deranged Nasat]

Word has reached the Archon's office of the new territorial expansion programs, and our nation supports its neighbours' greed and power-lust -- sorry, I mean, their desire to expand the sovereign rule of law -- whole heartedly. Having in the past expressed concerns as to the possibility of mad land-grabbing and war, this pleasingly peaceful expansion and orderly distribution of territory is applauded by my country. We will defend all claims thus far made in the international halls of politics, and in particular those of the five allied nations.

We politely ask Miss Chicken that our own holdings be expanded to include Chile. This region is home to both humans and penguins already, and thus embodies my vision for a joint future for our two races. It will also serve to loosely connect the Galapagos colonies to the Antarctic continent - filling in the middle, as it were. My citizens and goods can now move safely up and down from equator to pole without having to brave international waters. The realm is thus more secure.

All praise and glory to the three-legged one.

Assuming the request is granted, the Nasat Realm of Ross consists of the following territory (including oceanic holdings):

Antarctica (all of it), the Falkland Islands, Chile, the Galapagos Islands (and a sliver of ocean connecting them all).

 

[Deranged Nasat]

While I welcome your attempts to colonise the savage Falkland Islands, I must temper our friendship with the warning that attempts by your empire to expand into Europe will not be tolerated. Europe is for Europeans, not savages, and while we will allow some skilled savages into our continent to work, we will not allow savage powers to gain a foothold in our continent. Confine your colonisation efforts outside the European sphere of influence and we will have no problems.

Yours tipsily,
Imperator The Godfrey Steven Benn.

Your Smugness need not fear the Nasat Realm of Ross. Your ally the Archon has no designs on any European territory, for the very thought of moving more than a few degrees above the equator fills him with dread and nausea. The Galapagos Colonies on the Dreaded Line are the highest he can bear to contemplate.

Given the violent underpopulation of Terraiguana (now consisting only of New Zealand and annexes, for a population of about 5 million), with the consent of Her Majesty MissChicken, I wish to expand my holdings to the native land of iguanas in Central America and Antilles.

In the day that will remembered in history as the Glorious Reclaiming, the Saurocracy of Terraiguana shall consist of the original holdings of New Zealand and annexes, and in addiction Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, the Mexican states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas, and the islands of Cuba, Haiti/Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Cayman.

This should place the nation around 95 million citizens.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

^ I assume you want your embassy to my nation placed at the Galapagos?

 

[Thor Damar]

The Union shall expand from the Atlantic to the Urals. I claim the rest of mother Russia!

(And RJ, everyone knows that an inverse graviton pulse would collapse those singularities. I will be happy to send my top scientist to help you come up with something to block the effects of such a beam on your defenses.)

Good catch. I propose we initiate a Distinguished Scientist Exchange Program.

We would like to purchase some of Super New England's spiffy weaponry and defence systems to protect our borders and to equip our strategic bomber fleet. in return we offer access to our territory for paleotological expeditions and possible scientific research as well as a pledge of mutual defence. y'know, just in case you have a power failure and your missile shield breaks down...

Done and done. Science Teams are now being assembled to be assigned to your territory, including our top Trilobite Specialists. Weapons and defense systems are being manufactured and will be sent, along with a delegation of support technicians.

Miss Chicken, Super New England requests permission to annex the Azores. And the Moon.

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ If he gets the moon then I want Mars. Since it has no known population of anything it would not impact my previous requests for Algeria and Morocco. And of course I will establish the official Miss Chicken colony on the red planet.


And RJ I believe Distinguished Scientist Exchange Program, or the DSEP, would be an excellent idea.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Done. Prepping of a team of Distinguished Scientists begins immediately.

Permission to annex the Moon was based on the possibility that it's considered part of "the world," being in orbit. If not, the Super New England Space Program stands ready to initiate Super Project Apollo without fear of stepping on anyone's toes.

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ 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.

 

[MANT!]

Brazil announces to the world it's new Space fleet (built in secret bunkers under Sugar Loaf mountain) is ready to protect our interests around the world and outer space.. requirements for the Brazilian Space Service is that you look VERY good in a skin tight space suit!!

Our Fleet in action around Saturn...

We will claim Argentina if the rest of South America is denied us...

In response to the new population threshold, the WMU seeks to annex the regions of Poitou-Charentes and Pays-de-la-Loire in order to aid the people after the fall of the French central government.

We also seek the ownership of more beaches for our people to practice our nudist ways, as such we claim the entire Iberian peninsula, including Gibraltar and Andorra. We also seek control over Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna in Italy, as well as the micro-states of San Marino and Monaco.

On the surface, this would bring the total WMU population to 100.1 million, but that is not the case. As you might remember, I recently sent a team of engineers to assist the RUC build an oil pipeline in the North sea, and that team consisted of exactly 100,000 people.

Also, the governor of the fair state of Florida wants it known to all that all beaches on the Gulf side of the state are heretofore clothing optional and clothing is either optional or banned outright on all beaches in the Keys barring Miss Chicken's private island.

Clothing is optional on all beaches, parks, rooftops, main streets, back roads, forest trails, highways and byways of Super New England. Even our singularities are naked.

The WMU recognises and admires these progressive moves and hopes that this is the first step towards a complete clothing ban on all beaches across the eastern seaboard. You savages are okay.

In that case, I would like to request Algeria and Morocco. That should round out my population cap nicely. Besides, no one has bothered with Africa and her vast resources so I want a piece of the pie... and the tourist trade along the Mediterranean coast.

On behalf of the WMU, I welcome our new neighbours to the south. Unlike the horribly chilly beaches of England, you will find that the beaches of the Mediterranean are quite warm and hospitable for the naked bather. I hope that you will consider making all beaches in your Mediterranean colonies nudist beaches, or at least make them clothing-optional.

 

[captcalhoun]

Shameless can't have all Mexico. it's population is 111million. Similarly, Brazil's is 192million.

of course, i could assist in depopulating these nations for the would-be rulers...at a price...

I'd like to add New Mexico Texas and Arizona to my holdings.

 

[Thor Damar]

The RUC smiles most benevolently upon the recent expansions of our dear neighbors and friends in particular we applaud the WMU in its noble mission to restore order to that one great nation of France.

We are more than proud to welcome the fine engineers that the most gracious Imperator has sent to aid us. And one the pipeline has been built I shall be hounored to arrange accommodation and work for such useful individuals. They would of course still be WMU citizens but I would be most pleased to grant dual citizenship rights to those fair lads and ladies.

With regards to you most generous offer to join your alliance, we have given much thought to this issue and as for now we would prefer to remain as we are for now pending later treaties.

As for my fellow leaders, sovereigns and demigods of the modern age, I would seek to remind you that although we have chosen the path of modesty, my research facilities are hard at work...

May we rule forever!

Actually, the Confederation was hoping to annex northern Italy to provide breathing room for its own population. If the WMU is amenable to this, the CEC has no interest in Sicily or the Italian peninsula south of Lazio and Abruzzo, which the Union would be more than welcome to add to its territory. The Confederation also thinks that the island of Malta would fit in well with the WMU's mission.

Then i claim Central Mexico to the border of Texas.

Actually, the territory iguana claimed in southern Mexico is about 9 million, so you'd probably be okay with the rest of Mexico. Miss Chicken, in her benevolence, has often been kind enough to grant claims whose population is just slightly over the limit.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Well yay. The rest of Mexico it is then. The Mexican Empire will rise again!

You will have the best wines and food ever. Expect a whole bunch of orders for prosciutto, parmigiano, lambrusco and chianti from the people of Terraiguana.

as well as the micro-states of San Marino and Monaco.

Aww, come on. I've been in San Marino a lot of times, and it's much more interesting as its own state than as yet another walled town in Italy. If Popes, Emperors and barbarians could leave it alone, so could you...

Well yay. The rest of Mexico it is then. The Mexican Empire will rise again!

We will make awesome neighbours.

 

[Marie1]

I'll leave Canada to the polar bears, is any of Australia left? Some waterfront? Or somewhere else warm and waterfront-y?

 

[AstroSmurf]

I believe Libya and Egypt is available. Both are warm and have beaches.
