Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

Wow, a lot happened in one day. I'd better read through the IC. Shame I have to delete most of my last post :(

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by LordZell>

So basically, all IC posts are from the perspective of your nations leader or advisors, 3rd or 1st person.
After that, you may post a hider. A hider is basically sending a message to another nation. Here is an example.

Soviet Empire

Blah Blah Blah Turk Blah Blah Blah Crusade. (Please put an actual message when you put a hider)

Only the nation that I sent the Hider to has the right to read it.

Also, a lot of people are fighting the Turks.

@MetalLover

Ah.

That may make my entire last post null and void.

What should I do?

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

The Hellenic Kingdom

Greek Government H.Q., Athens

Nikolaos Michaloliakos, Arkhigos of the Hellenes and right hand of King Pavlos, sat at his desk with two of his foreign advisers. His hands were tightly clasped, and his face tense.

"Any word from the Mexicans, and the other Catholics and Protestants?" Michaloliakos pressed.
"It seems they chose the Pacific route to transport their force. Goodness knows why, when we had offered them a base and supplies. Now they are overextended and will struggle to supply their force - not to mention the long, difficult struggle they will face fighting through Mesopotamia, even if they are not immediately repulsed."
"We must contact the Mexicans, and ask that they reconsider. We cannot join their war if they carry out their attack in a way that is likely to fail."

To the Mexican Empire

Greetings to our esteemed colleagues in the great nation of Mexico,

We have received troubling reports concerning the execution of your righteous campaign against the Caliphate. This message was authorised by Arkhigos Nikolaos Michaloliakos, right hand of King Pavlos I of the Hellenes.

We question your decision to approach the enemy from an eastward direction. Your offer of a joint attack directly on Anatolia and the Levant led us to believe that your force would cross the Atlantic and pass into the Mediterranean, where we would be happy to base and supply your force. From Cyprus, for example, as a springboard, you could strike directly at the heart of the Caliphate and liberate both Jerusalem and Constantinople, with our direct assistance.

We urge you to turn your and your allies' forces back and through the Panama Canal, to follow our suggested strategy. If you have some plan you believe will make your current operation a greater success, we would be pleased to have you share it with us.

Greece cannot currently risk war with the Caliph unless Mexico directly assists us, or if both Russia and Ethiopia agree to war. We are too weak at present.

May God guide you on the right path,

The Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs

"We must also contact the Russians and Ethiopians, and discourage them from agreeing to a pact of non aggression with the Caliphate."

To Greater Russia and the Second Ethiopian Empire

Greetings to our brothers and sisters in Orthodoxy,

We believe that the Orthodox Church requires a new Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, as the previous holder of the title was cruelly murdered by the Caliph's forces. For the first time ever, we have made the decision to include non-Hellenes in the election process, which will be reformed as the Holy Synod, alas, met the same fate as the Ecumenical Patriarch. We instead propose that candidates must be the Archbishop or (lesser) Patriarch of their respective nation (of which, as you undoubtedly know, there is only one of which in each Orthodox country/region). These representatives may put themselves forward as candidates, and should be voted on by a new Greater Synod in Athens.

We hope you are in one mind with us about these matters,

Directly from Arkhigos Nikolaos Michaloliakos of the Hellenes.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

The Hellenic Kingdom

Athens, Theme of Greece

Arkhigos Nikolaos Michaloliakos stood at the doors of the Hellenic Parliament, surrounded by a sea of journalists and correspondents. The cacophony of questions and inquiries; loud enough to be heard at the Acropolis, it sounded; stopped at a raise of his hand.

"People of Greece, and to all the Hellenes across the world, and to those who stand resolute in the true Orthodox faith.

Today we have heard news of the terrible events unfolding in our neighbour, the so-called 'Caliphate'. The world has become aware of the atrocities committed against religious minorities, in particular, the Marionites of Lebanon. This cannot be tolerated.

We are commencing talks with the belligerent powers and our allies in the faith, Russia and Ethiopia. Together, we can solve these problems and free the Christian peoples of the Middle East, whether through diplomacy - or, if our hand is forced, through war. We have no desire to return to the bloodshed of the past, but our historic ties to the great city of Constantinople and the fertile land of Anatolia turns our hearts and minds ever eastwards. These lie in the hands of extremists and terrorists, but it is foretold in prophecy that one day, the Church of the Holy Wisdom, Hagia Sofia herself, will fall back into the hands of the Christians. Then, Emperor Constantine XI will arise and lead the army of Greece in battle against the infidels.

We live in hope of that day."

The roar of the crowd echoed across the city, cheers and shouts filling the air.

To Greater Russia and The Second Ethiopian Empire

Greetings and Salutations to our colleagues,

The King of the Hellenes has decreed through his right hand, Arkhigos Nikolaos Michaloliakos, that the Caliphate is a corrupt and dangerous power. We would be honoured as a people and as a nation to make common cause in defence against this threat with our brothers and sisters in the Orthodox faith.

We feel that the Catholic nations have been too hasty in their sudden war, but we also demand with equal determination that the Caliphate cease its persecution of Christians within its borders. We agree with Russia's proposal to fight a distinct war for ourselves, if it must come to that, but also would like to make clear the obvious benefits of cooperation with the heretics in the short term. Greece will certainly supply them in their Mediterranean campaign.

As for the name, we believe the 'Orthaxis' too greatly resembles the name of that wicked and sinful alliance between Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan, which laid all three of our great nations to waste. Perhaps one more identifiable with Ethiopia's suggestion, but referring to our common Orthodox cause.

From the Hellenic Minister of Foreign Affairs, by decree of King Pavlos I

To the GEC

Greetings to the great powers of Europe,

We will send ambassador Ioannis Aegeus to your nation, in the hope of resolving the Caliphate Crisis as peacefully as possible. He is sent on the authority of the King and the Arkhigos.

From the Hellenic Minister of Foreign Affairs.

I'll do an IC post shortly. Just working on a quick map, seeing as no one appears to have made one yet :)
