Hegemony

[The Dark Lord]

The Lord Protector has given a speech concerning Fascism, arguing that it is a doctrine based on brutality, racism, and blind loyalty to the State.

 

"The individual must die so that the State may live... Do we honestly want that for our future generations?"

 

Due to the rise of fascism, the Lord Protector has given a plebiscite concerning the future system of the Empire.

 

"My fellow Commonwealth citizens... For years we have tried to move from monarchy toward a New Republic... A republic founded on justice and individual freedoms. I must ask every single one of you, 'Should we go ahead and become a libertarian Republic now, or should we continue our slow transition from monarchy to republicanism?' "

 

 

The Continental Army is starting to swell with supporters of a future free from fascism. They may not totally agree with the approach that the Commonwealth is taking toward the path of a stable Republic (arguing that it doesn't matter if the transition happens quickly or slowly), but they believe that the Commonwealth is the best chance that they have in order to enjoy the same freedoms that was enjoyed under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They want to fight fascist America.

All but 10,000 troops are returning home from Senegal. The remaining troops are there to deal with rebels, and to recruit new soldiers.

A withdrawl of troops from American Soil and an end to British Imperialism, a better future for America.

The council of 13 replies: Would it not be better for the devastated states to join with a country that promotes democracy and is not so hard hit by war? They also mention american imperialism and how it got them into that mess.

How can Britian be a Democracy when they appoint our leaders and station soliders when we argue with them?

We do not argue that Britian is perfect, we do however argue that Brittain has the potential to treat people fairly throughout their state (which is what france is doing)

We cannot trust the British, not when they are yet to remove any armed man from our great nation...Would you trust the man with a gun to your head?

[The Dark Lord]

Perhaps we can reform. We are trying to transition toward a Washingtonian republic, and we are trying to keep our kin united.

 

We have worked so well in the past, but the recent downfall of our biggest ally has caused us a lot of problems for both of us. Perhaps there's some sort of compromise?

[archimage_a]

The only compromise can be a withdrawal of ALL British and French troops from our soil!

The council of 13's reply: The British have a recent record of fair dealings with all nations and citizens. Whilst they may not be perfect they keep any corruption down and they are very good at providing services (something that was lacking I believe in your government) While we cannot change what they do we can advise you not to scream at the man with the gun to your head lest he in fact pull the trigger.

Our great nation cannot stand idle while injustice is carried out. WE ARE AMERICANS we believe in freedom, justice and liberty and we would lay down our lives so that our fellow Americans would still have them.

I stare into your barrels and say 'Do your worst' for I know that America will not shy from your guns, that we, we nation of free men and women, will never give in and never give up.

The councils reply: Is this really that much different than what you have done in wars to "liberate" countries in the past? Furthermore are we not all one people in the end? Because as they say all are equal in death. Might I remind you of the nuking of Washington D.C? and of the destruction that followed? As part of the French or British state death will not rain down from the skies again. Oh and may I ask that you come to speak in a neutral territory? (ie haven from last game) LETTER ENDS That neutral territory will have jammers and no teleprompters at all. If she comes then all cellphones will be confiscated for "security issues" and given back at the end of the speach (and debate) while all signals to the island are jammed.

EDIT: A land line is sent over to an island outside of the jamming and is used to set up live footage. She is also searched for microphones as well.

[The Dark Lord]

We do not want to go to war, but we will fight for what we think is right.

 

How the hell can Washington protect the states if it was destroyed during a nuclear holocaust? How the hell can the people be safe under a fascist regime? What the hell happened to the humble United States of America after the second World War? The US became severely corrupted and began to brutalize other nations. The US supported oppressive regimes in other countries.

 

Nay! We only want to protect America due to the downfall that it suffered after being destroyed in a nuclear holocaust. Washington is in ruins, and many areas of the former Union are stained by atrocities. People suffer in the streets. Homes are ruined. We admit that we have our own faults, but the best thing that can happen for both of us is a united brotherhood. We wish to restore America to its former glory and reinstate old freedoms. We want to rebuild the American infrastructure. We want to make Americans equal to any other citizen of the Commonwealth.

Where ever we see, by the early light of dawn, those broad stripes and bright stars, that will be America.

Where ever we fight the perilous fight, to charge over ramparts in our gallant stream, with God's Holy Light, that will be America.

Where ever the Rocket's Red Glare and the Bombs bursting in the air, assure us that the flag that is still there, that will be America.

Where ever the Star-Spangled Banner still waves over the land of the free, and the home of the brave, that will be America.

 

Though you may hold our country within your iron fist, you will never hold our hearts, you will never take our freedom, our liberty and fraternity!

We will stand, and never run, we will stay until it's done. Though our friends may fall, and our lives be blown apart, we will strike with all our might, and fight for what is right.

[The Dark Lord]

Hail, Columbia! happy land!

Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!

Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,

Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,

And when the storm of war was gone,

 

Enjoyed the peace your valor won.

Let independence be our boast,

Ever mindful what it cost;

Ever grateful for the prize,

Let its altar reach the skies.

 

Firm, united, let us be,

Rallying round our Liberty;

As a band of brothers joined,

Peace and safety we shall find.

 

Immortal patriots! rise once more:

Defend your rights, defend your shore:

Let no rude foe, with impious hand,

Let no rude foe, with impious hand,

Invade the shrine where sacred lies

Of toil and blood the well-earned prize.

While offering peace sincere and just,

In Heaven we place a manly trust,

That truth and justice will prevail,

And every scheme of bondage fail.

 

Sound, sound, the trump of Fame!

Let WASHINGTONS great name

Ring through the world with loud applause;

Ring through the world with loud applause;

Let every clime to Freedom dear,

Listen with a joyful ear.

With equal skill, and godlike power,

He governed in the fearful hour

Of horrid war; or guides, with ease,

The happier times of honest peace.

 

Behold the chief who now commands,

Once more to serve his country, stands

The rock on which the storm will beat,

The rock on which the storm will beat;

But, armed in virtue firm and true,

His hopes are fixed on Heaven and you;

When hope was sinking in dismay,

And glooms obscured Columbias day,

His steady mind, from changes free,

Resolved on death or liberty.

The councils reply: Poetry is very good for poets, we however are not poets and should reply based upon facts. Your country is still recovering from a self inflicted holocaust and quite frankly there are far worse powers out there than the British. As has been said before any war would cripple you right now and leave you wide open from any nation ranging from japan to Egypt to South Africa to argentina. I ask you do you wish to be put under the iron fist of people whom you legislated against? Also what say you to our request of a speech on neutral grounds?

(OCC: Japan to Egypt...nice random countries chosen there...)

 

Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness.

So I charge you, you council of 13, would you defend us if we voted against you, would you grant us our freedom if we spoke against you! Your answers are clear as the noses on the faces of the millions of soliders you have stationed with our territory. For our protection? Bah, why would you invade us with two million men if your aim was only to protect us? Why slaughter 800,000 good Americans who were willing to die for their freedoms if all you sort was to protect us! Damn it don't wait for the translation answer me now! How can you stand upon the moral high ground when we can both see it is the corpse of freedom, honour and justice!

So I charge you, you coucil of 13, that your motives are no different than that of the British, you seek to crush us, and I, nor my four hundred and fifty million fellow patriots, will allow you to have your wicked way with our sweet lady Liberty!

Byzantium tells the people of the region of Texas that it doesn't much care for the 'independence' movement, and states that the region will never have full independence for an extended period of time. If they are not absorbed into one state, it will be another.

 

Besides, the ERE won't trample the rights that the South has known and cherished for so long - freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. In fact, it's encouraged by the King.

 

So, a war like people join with a war like country. The French and British lands can have their fluffy liberalism, but a strong military and conservative economics will guide the ERE for eternity.

 

Also, if you don't join we'll just kill you all and replace you with Greek families. In the end, the outcome is the same.

If you did not move against us and our allies and truly wished liberty then we would have no choice but to comply. That is the nature of a democracy you see. We would gladly leave you if we thought you would not fall prey to the next ambitious nation down the block. Do not lecture us upon justice if you do not fix the ruling of corporations in your courts! That being said if you truly wish liberty then we will oblige. However if you are to attack our allies then we have no choice but to intervene.

Then it shall be settled. Byzantia and France will provide protection to us, and in return we will grant the East coast(DC side), minus the city of Washington, to French Guardianship until America is back on it's feet.

Florida will be entrusted to Byzantia.

The rest of the Contient will remain as the United States of America, paying half of its year income to France and Byzantia, to be split between them.

Britannia refuses to leave the continent. You are better off under our leadership anyway. If you aren't with us, then someone else will take you over.
