There is now a war

Declaration of War
Against the People's Republic of Lazarus




"Go endotart man, I'm starting to get ideas." Under normal circumstances, this comment could be taken as a jest made in poor taste. When it comes from General Aperi of the Lazarene Liberation Army, also known as former Senator Karpathos of the New Pacific Order, it must be taken more seriously. Not only is Aperi the commanding General of the Lazarene Liberation Army, he has a history of hostility and aggression against Feeders and Sinkers, including but by no means limited to Osiris. Under the pseudonym Lint Roller, Aperi was assisting and supporting Milograd in his coup d'etat against the Coalition of the South Pacific in April 2013, even while Osiris and the imperialists he and the People's Republic of Lazarus so despise were working to liberate The South Pacific.

Indeed, this is by no means the only hostile and aggressive action that Aperi was known for throughout his time in the New Pacific Order. He was banned from several regional IRC channels, including the Osiran channel, for persistent harassment of various individuals. It was Aperi, as a Senator of the New Pacific Order, who was responsible for creating the anti-imperialist propaganda that was later used as justification for the purge of imperialist citizens from Lazarus by former Delegate Feux, also a Senator of the New Pacific Order, which was announced by Senator A Mean Old Man rather than by Lazarene officials. Although this anti-imperialism would later become the basis of both the New Pacific Order's and the People's Republic of Lazarus' foreign policy, its origins lie in Aperi's attempts to scapegoat imperialists as well as The Black Hawks and Equilism for his own sabotage of a 2013 multiregional operation against NAZI EUROPE.

Since the end of the July 2013 coup d'etat by Gatesville Inc in Osiris, Aperi has also engaged in persistent defamation of and hostility toward the governments of Osiris as well as our allies in the Realm of Balder and the member regions of the United Imperial Armed Forces due to the outcome of that coup. Even this summary of Aperi's recent hostile behavior is not exhaustive, nor does it cover aggressive and hostile action he committed against other Feeders and Sinkers on behalf of the New Pacific Order or on his own initiative prior to 2013.

Although it may be uncomfortable for some regions to acknowledge, this threatening comment by General Aperi is just the latest demonstration of hostility and disregard for the sovereignty of other Feeders and Sinkers from the People's Republic of Lazarus. The foundation of the People's Republic is built on former Delegate Feux's premeditated, legally questionable, and unquestionably tyrannical purge of loyal citizens from Lazarus based on their ideology and other regional affiliations. The People's Republic doubled down on tyranny by adopting an authoritarian communist regime and accepting Milograd as Chairman and Delegate just a few short months after his treason against The South Pacific, treachery that was assisted by Aperi.

The People's Republic of Lazarus has also provocatively not only harbored, but promoted individuals with a long record of hostility and aggression against Osiris, until now without official comment from the Osiris Fraternal Order. Former Chairman Milograd appointed Dalimbar to serve as his Governor of Diplomacy, the equivalent of Minister of Foreign Affairs in many regions, very shortly after establishment of the Osiris Fraternal Order and Dalimbar's exile from Osiris. This was followed by former Chairman Kazmr's appointment of New Kervoskia as Governor of Information, responsible for publication of The Lazarene Gazette, the official anti-imperialist propaganda of the People's Republic.

Both Dalimbar and New Kervoskia are well known members of the paramilitary terrorist organization known as The Empire, exiled from Osiris by the Osiris Fraternal Order on 10 December 2013. Both participated in the brief December 2012 coup d'etat against Osiris as rogue Delegates during that coup, and both participated in the subversion and obstruction of the government of Detective Figs (Astarial) during Fall 2013. Dalimbar has never publicly withdrawn his opposition to the Osiris Fraternal Order or his commitment to its overthrow, made clear in the days following the Fraternal Order's establishment. It should be noted that both Dalimbar and New Kersovkia have also taken aggressive actions, including coups d'etat, against other Feeders and Sinkers over the years.

Finally, there is the matter of current Chairman Funkadelia's hostility against allies of the Osiris Fraternal Order which led to our decision to sever all diplomatic relations with the People's Republic on 10 June 2014. As a candidate for Chairman, Funkadelia would not rule out the use of force against imperialist regions, including our ally Balder with which we share the closest of bonds through the Imperial Sovereign Realms Army, as well as other imperialist allies. The People's Republic argued at the time that we had misinterpreted the Chairman's statement, because the Lazarene Liberation Army is prohibited from invading other regions. With so many high profile officials involved in aggression against Feeders and Sinkers, this alleged commitment to non-aggression against its fellow Game-Created Regions rings hollow. Indeed, perhaps someone should inform General Aperi that the Lazarene Liberation Army cannot invade other regions, as he has observed a relatively low endorsement count here in Osiris and is "starting to get ideas."

The Osiris Fraternal Order will now respond to this threat that General Aperi has made against Osiris, as well as the broader threat that the People's Republic of Lazarus has posed since its inception against Balder, against our other allies, against a free, democratic, and peaceful world, and most importantly against the sovereignty and security of Osiris herself. For far too long the world has been content to ignore the numerous elected and appointed officials who have committed acts of aggression, treason, and war against multiple Feeders and Sinkers. These officials have been proudly placed on display as the finest and most prominent citizens the People's Republic has to offer. The Osiris Fraternal Order will no longer tolerate this parade of tyrants the People's Republic of Lazarus has thrust upon the world and expected that we would accept. Osiris will not accept this latest provocation.

Therefore, by constitutional declaration of the Pharaoh of Osiris and with the Deshret of Osiris concurring, the Osiris Fraternal Order hereby declares war against the People's Republic of Lazarus.

Is this a declaration of war against Lazarus or the New Pacific Order? Seems unclear.
Really? I would think the bold and enlarged title would make it clear, Senator. :P
There is no Senate here. I am simply a member of the Regional Assembly.

Aside from that, while the title is explicit, the wording within the declaration itself seems rife with references to the New Pacific Order. Much of the grievance seems to be directed at personages that were involved with that organization over a year ago.

It would almost appear that your declaration is an attempt to declare war by proxy against The Pacific. But, I may simply be misreading. Perhaps it is actually just a poorly written declaration of war that doesn't directly address any legitimate casus belli with Lazarus.

That is definitely a misreading of our declaration of war. While several of the individuals were once heavily involved in the New Pacific Order, none, to my knowledge, are involved today.

In fact, we applaud the NPO Senate for expelling former Senator Gaspo from the region altogether, chastising former Senator Milograd for his offenses against the Coalition of the South Pacific, and expelling former Senator Karpathos from its membership. While the Lazarene dictatorship has embraced these tyrants who have committed userite high crimes against the Feederite and Sinkerite communities of various Feeders and Sinkers, the NPO has done the right thing by tossing them out on their rears, and should be commended for that.

Indeed. Well, I can't speak for what The Pacific may or may not need to be commended for, but I can state that in reading the declaration, it seems that so many items are being pulled from the distant past as to make it more a laundry list of complaints against members of The Pacific more so than any legitimate complaint against Lazarus.

That aside, it would seem that if I took you at your word and discard all the apparent personal grudge related segments of the declaration, the bottom line is that Lazarus made an offhand comment about retaliation if Osiris invaded another region and Osiris, even though it admits that the 'invading' army in question can not legally do so, has declared war upon Lazarus in turn in order to feasibly utilize this army which can not invade to wage war? Just trying to get to the bottom line.
