All nations, including those of OPEMEC all invited to attend and send their best scientists and researchers in an effort to make petroleum the best it can be.

However, the prices are still too high, representing more of an opportunity to make extortionate profit. Pope Emmanuel III

As such, OPEMEC is severely constrained in our ability to control prices. We urge all nations of the world who value petroleum to act to bring the UN mandate back under control of the UN

We have controlled the sector single handedly before and we do so now. Our production of oil remains uninterrupted as the world situation remains the same. Indeed war to remove Nag Ehgoeg will only disrupt oil production, and our removal will only cause disruption as new authority moves in. UN land in Isreal has nothing to do with the price of oil. OPEMEC and the Baghdad Pact are counter productive to the agenda of the United Nations.

The Devil's Advocate Posts: 7,238 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: December 26, 2003	The Resplendant Dawn forgets its place. Nag Ehgoeg has been a member of the United Nations longer than the Dawn has existed for. Furthermore you forget that until our resignation from the corrupt and self serving United Nations that we served as the Delegate for the Middle East - no nation knows more about the workings of the UN than Nag Ehgoeg. We have turned our back on the UN. We are not, however, working against the UN. Rather we are working against the disturbing economic, military and political alliance that is attempting to further corrupt the UN to serve its own goals. And the Resplendant Dawn is a member of that alliance. The Baghdad Pact controls the worlds Oil and Gas. The Baghdad Pact has the single largest military alliance, and contains the worlds most powerful military nation. Furthermore this Pact has recently used it's military and political might to manouver one of it's members into the possition of United Nations Delegate of the Middle East when we of Nag Ehgoeg realised the extent of the corruption of the United Nations by military alliances such as the Baghdad Pact. Furthermore, it was contray to these extertensial military alliances that Nag Ehgoeg moved in on behalf of International Security to secure the Holy City in the first place. Now the UN has become one of the hostile military alliances. We find the Resplendant Dawn's comment to be ill thought out and misinformed - and it does not address the point our government made. Why are oil prices effected when the international situation has not changed?

Legitimist Posts: 12,945 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: January 13, 2004	Nag Ehgoeg claims that the UN was corrupt and self-serving, while having been the Middle East delegate, and being the primary executor of UN Mandates at the time. Once again your own statements damn you. Furthermore, the statement that the international situation has not changed is outrageous. Nag Ehgoeg has single-handedly increased tensions in the region, by spitting in the face of international law. Whereas previously the United Nations Mandate was under the control of United Nations forces, now it is under the control of a nation that openly slanders the United Nations, and continually utters provocations against the nations of the region. The volatile Holy Land is being occupied by a rogue state. How can you say that the international situation has not changed?

With the formation of your Pact we relised that adminisitering fair international law would pit those loyal to the principles of the United Nations against an unstoppable military alliance, we stepped out so that those wanting to prevent your bid for world domination could stand seperate from states wishing to uphold the principles of the UN as to not draw innocents into this.

Science and Industry Posts: 6,792 Group: Veterans Member #86 Joined: November 1, 2004	The UN is heavily influenced by the Baghdad Pact, and the Baghdad Pact is a major economic and military threat to the region. Therefore we the nations of Trilateral Commission and Nag Ehgoeg had to seize the Jerusalem Mandate before Baghdad Pact forces, who also happened to be UN peacekeepers, could enter the area and further increase the Baghdad Pact's already massive and unbalanced influence. The original partiition of Israel divided the land amongst the Trilateral Commissio, United Nations, and Resplendent Dawn. The original status quo was seriously disturbed when the Baghdad Pact took over the UN Delegacy and when the Resplendent Dawn joined the Baghdad Pact. This damaged the balance of power in Israel, and left the Trilateral Commission isolated and weakened. In light of the unbalanced geopolitical situation, the original agreement has become totally obsolete and even dangerous for the entire region. Thus TC and Nag broke the original agreement in order to secure their rights and security. No nation would allow the pretense of international law to fatally threaten their sovereign security. Likewise, we will not allow the Baghdad Pact to further increase its power and bully the region. We also believe the issue of oil prices is hopeless. As long as a cartel of militarily powerful nations controls such a large amount of oil production, the prices will be at the whim of greedy profiteers. Increasing the price of oil based on unrelated events in Israel is arbitrary and unprecdented. However, we cannot allow arbitrary oil price increases to pressure us into surrendering basic security needs. We encourage all nations to seek alternative oil supplies and develop alternative energy technology. -TC Press release

Legitimist Posts: 12,945 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: January 13, 2004	The Resplendent Dawn would like to hold off this public argument until the Sinai negotiations are over. We are currently debating these issues privately, so we will cease public criticisms until the negotiations are over. However we would like to make two statements. 1. The Baghdad Pact has never shown any intent to attack any of our critics. Building defensive alliances is not illegal, and our alliance is still far smaller than the Holy League. 2. The Trilateral Commission made the following statement: "Increasing the price of oil based on unrelated events in Israel is arbitrary and unprecdented." And it remains unprecedented, for no such action has occured. If you review the history of OPEMEC's prices, you will see that the latest price change was a lowering of prices, not an increase.

God, you're cheap bastards. Oh, you think we're selling ourselves short then? ^_^ With a war on, oil has been in high demand, and with all that lead flying around aimlessly, it's dangerous to run tankers. One of them might be sunk, and then we're out millions of gallons of oil that could have been sold for a healthy profit. So, we're just protecting our interests. There's nothing else you could honestly expect us to do. :P
