Communique from the government of Azerzia, after meeting with the respective royals of Azerzia, to the CAT states and allies:

The government of Azerzia is fighting for a lasting peace in the SLU, and has instituted a long-ranged blockade of the main island of NAR. The ships have been ordered to not engage NARan naval vessels and are simply acting as a determent to trade. We agree in principle with the Avaerilonain three pronged approach. We are more than willing to take primary responsibility for part two of the plan, as our blockade is in better position to do so.

Our war goals are peace between all warring parties. We are willing to compromise on some points presented by Avaerilon, but we will fight until peace is ensured.

[Avaerilon]

After hearing the responses of CAT members and allies, the Avaerilonian representation to CAT has sent a coded message:

Dear friends,
We will only stop fighting the NARan menace if our points are totally met. As it seems unlikely that they will, we share Azerzia's view that we fight for regional peace.

Therefore, we propose that since states support Operation Hit-for-Six, we begin to carry it out within 24 hours.

We would like to make a slight modification to point 3 of the plan.

Our brave men of FALA (Royal Avaerilonian Air Force) have volunteered for a dangerous but crucial mission. We plan to fly three Vulcan bombers in triangle-formation deep into NARan soil, as a decoy. They will be armed with standard bombs, missiles and EMP devices, but they will mask our real intention.

With NARan eyes on the Vulcans, we plan to fly a single Valiant over the main military base of NAR, and drop an earthquake bomb. Valiants can fly above any known RADAR; only powerful telescopes could find one. However, eyes will be averted to the lone Valiant, which will incapacitate the mainframe of NARan security.

We implore our generous allies to support this plan, and send aircraft (ideally fighters) with the Vulcans, to further draw unfriendly attention away from the single Valiant. These men and women may well not return, but the value of the mission might well make their sacrifice worthwhile.

I would much rather immediate peace.

Dear friends,

Below is a message from GTA, our foreign intelligence organisation. It contains the most top-secret information, which NARan spies should not be able to decode. Several agents died bringing us this information, so please act accordingly and with speed.

GTA

Dear allies,

Perhaps our best team of intelligence-gathering experts, deep undercover in the CRNAR, underwent a mission to steal intelligence from the government of that nation. We lost 3 agents in the manoeuvre, although, thankfully, we do not believe the security of our continued operations in said country has been compromises.

NAR has completed a programme whereby they can launch an EMP device from an inter-continental ballistic missile reliably. This means all nations, including Avaerilon, are in their range. They probably plan this as a last resort. We currently do not know where their ICBMs are, but they are probably either on the island itself, or aboard ships.

Speaking of their navy, NAR will attempt to outflank us and proceed to launch a series of powerful attacks on ourselves and our allies. They plan to invade Azerzia by ship while at the same time sending a massive naval force to support their militias in Pont de Roche, allowing them to effectively wrest control of continental Logres and then invade the remainder of the nation.

It is therefore imperative that Operation Hit-for-Six is carried out WITHIN 24 hours. If we hear no words from other nations, we will proceed ourselves. If we can disrupt internal communications in NAR and suppress their air force, we can at least halve their naval force aiming for Logres, and possibly carry-out another plan of ours. We would, if they have fewer ships on their way to Logres, launch a barrage of missiles upon their convoy. We would also insist our troops in Logres make a push to remove NARan soldiers from Logresian soil.

[Newhalla]

High Security communication.
Sender: CATIO HQ in Pekkara city
Recipients: CAT and allied nations

I'm extremely skeptical how the NARan navy is expected to not just invade Azerzia by sea and at the same time sending a massive naval force to Logres. The CAT navy is outnumbering the NARan navy 5 to 1.

And furthermore Hallan forces have been ready to participate in the 6 hit plan from the very beginning.

The NARan militia can't sustain a two front war, hell not even one front.

The CAT southern group will move back to Azerzia to face the NARan navy heading there. And the Northern group will intercept and destroy the NARan navy forces heading for Logres. Our forces are superior in both numbers and quality.

But the NARan ICBMs are a cause for concern. We suspect that they will not use ordinary IBCMs to carry the EMP weaponry.

[Azerzia]

Message via the Azerzian Foreign Office, from the Joint Azerzian Military Command:

The government of Azerzian seconds the opinion of the Newhallans. We have our navy prepared. We believe we can handle the NARan fleet in the Tenian Sea on our own, although any support that can be offered would be appreciated

Dear Fellow Member Nations of CAT,
The people of Franco-Lowlands are growing tired of the war with NAR, so much so that the Labor-Liberal coalition that has dominated the Senate for the past 8 years has lost the latest election by a landslide. Nearly all political parties besides Labor, Liberal and a few smaller conservative parties ran on the promise of peace. A Socialist-Worker-Green coalition now have control of the Senate, and they have appointed Jonathan Brown, an anti-war activist, Prime Minister. I must alert our fellow CAT nations that Franco-Lowlands will no longer be supporting the war effort. This is also my last time meeting with you nations, as I am announcing my resignation as President of Franco-Lowlands.

Sincerely,
Pierre Dupont

[Avaerilon]

Dear friend,

I was deeply saddened to hear this, but we respect the democratic choice of your people, and the wisdom of your elected politicians.

I must, however, draw your attention to the treaty your nation signed:

Article One: The signators of this treaty agree to the mutual defense of one another state from aggression.

1. Pending external hostilities:
1.1 Each signatory state agrees to provide what assistance they can in the case of external aggression against any member state.
1.2 Each signatory state agrees to official state that they are at war with the external aggressor.

I must state that your nation will be contravening the treaty. Therefore, I offer you two options: to either withdraw completely from CAT, or to help us in this final push.

If you choose to withdraw, we will respect your decision, and hope to remain friends with your nation.

Yours warmly,

Iago Penderyn,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Dear friends,

I have received word from the Democratic Republic of Alterio that they would like to join CAT and assist us in our goals. Since they are willing to sign the treaty, I would ask if other members have any concerns before we allow our new friend to join.

On another note, given the position of Franco-Lowlands, we will be looking to re-locate the Council, unless the afore-mentioned state decides to remain in CAT. Perhaps our new friend would consent to housing it?

[Newhalla]

Dear friends.

As you may know. There will be new elections tomorrow in Newhalla. A new party the NWP has gained huge amounts of support from the Hallan people. The NWP is strong opponent of CAT. There is a significant chance that the NWP will win the elections and form a new government whit two other anti-CAT parties the Social democratic party and the Green party.

Furthermore a close ally of ours the Union of Nordic Republics has shown great interest into joining CAT. The UNR has close cultural and economical ties whit Newhalla. And will surly serve CAT more faithfully then we Hallans have.

Yours for the last time.

Carl Bingt, ministry of foreign affairs.

The Francish Senate voted 200 to 50 with one senator abstaining in favor of leaving CAT. We wish the organization the best, however it is not in our best interest to be a member at this point in time.

[Avaerilon]

We are sad to see your nation leave, but we will respect the wishes of your people. CAT staff will arrive to remove CAT property from your bases and the Council.

[Newhalla]

CAT members

As you may know by now. There has been a leadership change in Newhalla. And as part of the Red-Greens election promises Newhalla will hold an referendum on the CAT membership.

That is all

Signed Miranda Keane

Greetings,

The Democratic Republic of Alterio has noticed no objections to our application and if we may sign the treaty, and advance the progress of the goals that the CAT stands for.

[Avaerilon]

To confirm, Alterio has left CAT and attacked a CAT member state, making it a legitimate enemy of the organisation.

[Azerzia]

Azerzia, due to the support it has received and the closeness of our connection, would like to formally join CAT

[Avaerilon]

The decision to allow Azerzia to become a signatory state has been accepted by the temporarily-convened council in Avaerilon, which currently holds all 3 HQs. As a member, we can offer you the holding of the Council HQ. You would have to make provision for this in your nation. Of course, you may decline the offer.

[Azerzia]

We would be happy to house the Council HQ in Azerzia, if the other members of CAT would approve. We can begin preparations and have the council set up in Rotae City or Bekaln City

[Newhalla]

As the recent referendum on Newhallas CAT membership, the Hallan people has decided that we will leave CAT. The Intelligence HQ which is based in Pekkara city and servers as the main headquarters for CATIO (Co-Operative Alliance Treaty Intelligence Office) will be moved to Lyndainium, Avaerilon. Furthermore the Hallan troops under CAT command will for the moment remain under CAT command. But we will not provide additional forces to CAT.
