OOC: Unless you've signed the Baltic Treaty Below, the Decree of the Straits applies to you. IC: - This is a KNSi BREAKING NEWS BULLETIN - His Holiness, Pope John David I, has issued a Papal Bull in response to the Baltic naval conflict currently taking place. It reads as follows, translated from the Latin:
_____________________________________________________________________________ The Baltic Treaty

OOC- You never posted after you said you would "later that night" MONTHS ago. So no, don't get snippy with me. IC- If ANY ship attempts to breach the sovereignity of the Straits without first seeking papal permission, there will be consequences. |

OOC: Kas, the rest of the war can be summed up in one post. AGM wanted to finish up the battle himself, and I wanted to sum up the war after that. I've just been waiting for him to finish the battle. That said, your post gets in the way of the actions agreed upon by myself and AGM as to how the war would be finished. You could just wait a little longer. As soon as AGM finishes the battle, I will finish the war and the conflict will be over with. At which point there will be several developments in Ireland... |

OOC- I've waited months. How much longer am I gonna have to wait? I do not like my straits being somehow neglected from the norms and customs of sovereignty for the sake of someone else's war. I will agree for this to have effect only after the conflict, but AGM has til the end of this month to get his post through. After that, I can care less about the plot, because I'm not letting other peoples warships cross my straits without asking IC permission. Edited by Kasnyia, Sep 13 2011, 04:01 PM.

OOC: Kas is having some technically issues, he asked me to fix his original post which I have. Other than that, I suppose you'll just have to wait til he can post again. |

Private Letter: Your Holiness, Kiev is as concerned over the Baltic conflict as is Cologne. However, I must object strongly to the closing of the Danish Straits to military vessels. The Irish Emperor has offered me personal assurance that Ireland is merely engaging in a punitive action, and does not intend to land troops on the shores of Authority Poland. The closure of the Strait is premature and unnecessary. While I am sure that Your Holiness had only the most humanitarian of considerations in mind when issuing this bull, Quaon simply cannot abide by it. I implore Your Holiness to avoid altercation between the Papal Navy and the Quaonion Navy. Quaon has for decades viewed Cologne in the highest esteem for its stand against the excesses of Genesis and Rome - we would be loth to see an end to that relationship.

Reply to the Russian Empire - If you wish to have military ships pass through the straits, all you need to do is ask. If you will not ask, and try to breach the straits anyway, it is to be considered a violation of Papal Waters. Violations will not be tolerated. Statement from Cologne ------------- Reply to Kiev - If the Irish can give His Holiness those same personal assurances directly and convince him, it would be a different matter altogether. This decree was created with the express purpose of negotiations in mind. We understand and are happy with Quaon's view of the matter, but for too long has the security of the straits been breached without so much as a warning to local authorities. How can we allow warships to pass through our waters unhindered? Also understand that though this decree is officially in effect, the Pope has decided to forgo enforcement with regards to this particular conflict to allow both parties to present their case before His Holiness to recieve permission. But if this opportunity is ignored, enforcement WILL follow. We do not mean to jeopardize the relationship between Cologne and Kiev. But to lay idle is not a solution either. We are open to negotiating passage, but it MUST be negotiated, not assumed. - Personal Letter from the Office of the Papal Secretary Edited by Kasnyia, Sep 25 2011, 04:16 PM.

While Yshurak does not recognize the Pope as a legitimate head of state, it does concur with his concerns over the straits. The movement of warships through another country's national waters without permission is a violation of international laws and treaties, not to mention a violation of the nation's sovereignty itself. As my country has made clear, if the Baltic conflict destabilizes the region, we will get involved and rectify any transgressions that have taken place by force if necessary.

Your Holiness, I politely request your permission to use the straits. The carrier Cú Chulainn must be recovered, and its fleet must be allowed to return to Ireland. I also wish to send a carrier group to take their place and finish what they started. The AGM fleet has been mostly destroyed, and I wish to proceed with a blockade of AGM ports. I only wish to force them to terms, and nothing else. In Christ, High King Aodh O'Neill |

There is no obligation to allow your ship and crew to return to Ireland unless you can explain why, since mere ownership is not sufficient. As for returning to the Baltic afterwards to impose a blockade, that is most assuredly out of the question. Do not misunderstand however, the Moffist forces will be brought to heel for their warmongering and bringing conflict to the Baltic. But it is a local matter to be solved by locals. - In Christ, Petrus Paulus John David I |

Your Holiness, I submit to your decision in this matter. However, there is still a substantial amount of Irish warships within the Baltic Sea. I would rather withdraw them then continue to fight the AGM in the Baltic without the support of a carrier. I must insist that you allow me to withdraw them from the Baltic, which does require the use of the straits. I do thank you greatly for ensuring the safety of my countrymen. I will arrange for their transfer to Ireland immediately. In Christ, High King Aodh O'Neill |

Your Holiness, I thank you for your understanding as well. Orders will be issued for the fleet to return immediately, though with express orders not to do without escort through the straits. You have my word that no further military action will be taken in the Baltic. In fact, I shall show you my sincerity in offering the AGM a peace treaty of favorable terms to both parties.

To His Majesty, the Tsar of Russia, My Brother in Christ, I have noted your government's concern over the absurd actions of the the snake in Cologne. Cologne, of course, has no ability to enforce its decree - it's navy is far outweighed by that of any one of the Baltic powers. I see no reason to allow the fool who calls himself Pope of all Christendom to confine our navies. What he has done is an insult. I propose a series of war games off the coast of Catalonia. I would like to see John David respond to the combined might of the Quaonion and Russian navies. President Andrei Makarovitch Yanosky Edited by Quaon, Sep 30 2011, 05:24 PM.

To President Andrei Makarovitch Yanosky, His actions are indeed absurd and if he believes that Moscow will bow to the will of Cologne over our sovereign right to dispatch warships in and out of the Baltic, he will indeed soon find he is greatly mistaken. War games off the coast of Catalonia seems like a fine proposition. Indeed, the Russian Mediterranean fleet could do well with such activity. I shall dispatch a good portion of the Baltic fleet and we shall sail side-by-side the Quaonion navy to the Mediterranean. I too, shall be interested in seeing what the power of Cologne attempts to do against our combine fleet. -Tsar Alexei Paulovich Romanov II |

OOC- We might have a ball game on our hands... IC- Directorate of Special Intelligence Services, Scandinavia Bureau, Classified Location Though normally dormant, the recent Baltic War had cause for concern and so the National Intelligence Coordinator-General, Theodor Halschmann, ordered the post active. It had been days since the conflict had essentially ended and thus the staff were busy filing reports and preparing to close the book on this conflict, before suddenly they started to hear chatter. Russian and Quaonian military commanders were speaking of organization and deployment. Feeling curious, the local analysts decided to check satellite data for the Russo-Quaonian coastal region. What they saw were ships organizing into a single combined fleet. The information was relayed back to Guranburg, via encrypted lines, and presented to Halschmann. "Inform Cologne of this and then keep watching. It's probably nothing, but keep an eye on the situation," he ordered. ------------------ Cologne Upon recieving the information, the Pope sighed. "When they are within ten miles of Papal waters, order them to halt until permission has been negotiated and inform me at once," His Holiness ordered, "If they refuse to comply, we will enforce the decree. The sovreignity of this land is God's alone to take. Not Russia's. And if Quaon gets involved in the beligerance, see why and put a stop to it. We were quite reasonable with them and for them to simply ignore the reply and go straight for conflict or at least instigation is most uncouth." Edited by Kasnyia, Oct 1 2011, 08:57 PM.
