Austro-Bayern; An observer's request

It has come to my attention that Austro-Bayern has effectively declared war upon the Syndicat. Now while I find the idea of a mercenary state deplorable, as would we all, the fact of the matter is that the Syndicat has done nothing to earn this.

The peace in Europe has been a boon to us all, and to have it ruined by unjust war right under the nose of the Treaty of Konigsberg should merit investigation, especially as we have to focus on Georgia and thus should not have to worry about a war so close to home. A peacekeeping operation if you will.

I understand that I am merely an observer to this organization, I do ask that you take my claim seriously.

We are not in flux OOC. I was going to mobilize anyway.

Mobilization does not equal war, by the way. I have given an ultimatum and Rafzakael has every right to respond to it as he wishes.

The best response would be total military and economic isolation of the Austro state. The Treaty of Konigsberg is home to the best military and economic powers in the world, and a forced blockade of naval and air capabilities, as well as extensive economic sanctions would be enough to force Austro-Bayern to accept the status of Europe.

We should also firmly deny its request for observer membership. This nation has done more to provoke conflict throughout the region than any expansion it protests, and it would be detrimental to our interests to allow this power into the organization, even as an observer.

What effect might this have on the war effort in Georgia?

OOC: So, let me get this straight. The democratic nation of Austro-Bayern wants to eliminate a militaristic dictator who has already deployed illegal mercenaries to Georgia to fight TOK forces...

...and you want to de facto declare war?

Some alliance <_<

By the way, am I allowed to respond to this IC or are these proceedings private?

OOC- Private.

Also, this alliance isn't for democracy, its for Europe.

IC-

If we do NOT do anything and allow war to break ot right at our doorstep, it will hinder the war effort in Georgia. If we preempt this illegal war however, we can keep our focus on Georgia.

OOC: Private to non-members/observers.

The purpose is not really Raz, but rather its that it gives us an excuse.

Austro-Bayern would feel perfectly at home in the real world, a nice social democracy that wants to get rid of evil military imperialist dictators who wish to impose their views on everyone that isn't them.

But this isn't the real world. This is NSWR.

And thus, Austro-Bayern is a neat little thorn in the side of the ToK, and most of Europe.

If you really want to protect yourself, join the Madrid Pact, a nice little alliance for democracies, with the most powerful nation in the world (Cerdone) and a very powerful European state (Andorra) at its head.

Then you're effectively untouchable.

OOC:

The Kingdom opposes any sort of operation that might divert funds from the Georgian affair.


IC:

"But what is Austro-Bayern or Rafzakael to us? The two nations neighbor each other and their conflict need not involve us. Do they block our supply lines? It does not appear so to me, though I may be wrong. To meddle with their conflict would draw away funds and attention. The Royal military is mobilizing for war in Georgia: that will be our single priority. Your nations have invested great lives and great money into the Georgian campaign. We must do everything possible to ensure victory."

Less than half of the Hispanic Air Force, and a third of the Hispanic Army are involved in Georgia. Hispania alone could easily deploy enough to hold the blockade, though it would prefer to have aid in the endevour.

The Treaty of Konigsberg's focus is first and foremost on the continent of Europe itself. While Georgia is important, to ignore a war upon our doorstep would only hurt our campaign in Georgia. The Hispanic and German forces alone could handle this, if manpower and funds are an issue in regards to Georgia.

Germany regrettably committed only a small portion of its forces to the Georgian conflict thus far, and with a little aid from another nation in the region such as Quaon we could bear the brunt of the burden concerning the isolation of these two nations.

Quaon is willing, if neccesary to allow the rest of the treaty to focus on Georgia, lead a fully indepenent assault on Austro-Bayern. Cnsidering Austro-Bayern's size, I do not expect this to take long. Furthermore, standing by our former colony of Sahndaq in this war would be acceptable.

Pascoag has yet to commit any soldiers to the Georgian conflict though our military has been mobolized. We offer any assistance to deal with the Austro-Bayern problem.

If the honorable Pascoagian government would agree, the Communist Republic of Quaon believes that it would be bst if Pascoag used her military to fight on the Georgian front, as Germany and Quaon will be more than enought to destroy the Austro-Bayerns, and we are located in a position which makes a land invasion much less costly.

OOC:

Quid pro quo? At all?

The Confederation Guard literally just got back from a generally lauded (or at least quietly accepted) humanitarian effort in Georgia, and meanwhile Syndicat mercenaries are fighting AGAINST European forces there, and your solution is to destroy my nation?

Does anybody else find this stupid? I know it's me saying that, but seriously, come ON.

OOC- Syndicat forces were also helping Europe. Playing both sides against the middle and all that.

In anycase, the Treaty of Konigsberg has always considered the policing of Europe to be their sole responsibility.
