Natopia Increases SANE Role amid Alexandria Absense
by Artemus XJ for the Apollo-Keltian United Free Press
The SANE alliance, composed of The Imperial Republic of Shireroth, The Sovereign Empire of Natopia, and The Empire of Alexandria, has been upholding those empires' and their allies' territorial claims and engaging in self-proclaimed 'humanitarian activities' for several years. The alliance of empires' inclusion of Alexandria has generally been recognized by the Micras community, although it has also been considered to be unofficial. Alexandria in fact has never ratified the main treaty that created SANE. Moreover, it has not been making adequate progress towards fulfilling that goal of the SANE organization.
In a recent development, it appears that Natopia is recognizing the inadequacy of Alexandria to muster the fight necessary to protect its geographical territory in the alliance by stepping in to administer the military commands that Alexandria had been expected to take on in the SANE alliance. The decision was made official by Natopian Defense Force (NDF) Proclamation JMC/CVG/NDF/1646/001 13.XII.1646 and applied specifically to the Cibola, Keltia, Space, Tapfer and Trans-Euran Commands. According to the announcement, "The Cibola Command will be apportioned to Alexandria once it completes the ratification process for the SANE treaty."
As for Shireroth's role in the alliance's administration of military resources, the announcement states that at present "the Apollonia and Benacia Commands fall under the responsibility of the Imperial Forces of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth."
The announcement introduced a grandiose new terminology describing a main organizational unit of the structure of the SANE's alliance's defense forces, a "theatre command." A theatre command is a region of a continent in which a lead member nation of the SANE alliance has responsibility for the command and control of the operational forces in that region. Each theatre command must answer to SANE's Joint Military Council (JMC). This council is composed of the heads of the various SANE member nation governments as well as their member nations. If there ever was place for SANE's various despots, potentates, subviziers and associated henchmen to be plotting and scheming their next activity anywhere on Micras, it would take place in this so-called JMC, and then be carried out through these so-called theatre commands. Undoubtedly the USSO's surveillance arm has placed its eyes and ears all around this vast apparatus in order to ascertain its strengths, weaknesses, and future plans.
Acting Rear Admiral Haojin Shinjong of the Heavenly Light Naval Forces was interviewed on this latest development in SANE. "I have said it all along. SANE is inSANE," stated Admiral SJ. "The lack of strong participation by Alexandria in upholding the defense of SANE could lead to two possibilities. One possibilitiy is SANE becoming weaker and more insignificant by the day, with its resources stretched very thin across just two and not three member nations, thus causing more and more smaller nations to see the light of allying with the USSO in order to bring about a brighter tomorrow for all of Micras. Another possibility is the opposite, that SANE becomes more aggressive and extensive due to the absences of the traditionally pacifist and non-interventionist tendencies of the Alexandrian participants, leading more and more smaller nations to see the light of allying with the USSO in order to escape the encroachment of the Sxiro-Natopian imperialists. Only time will tell which outcome will occur. Either way, we, the USSO, will be prepared as far as our interests are concerned."

Hear! Hear! The use of nuclear weapons against Jingdaoese-named ships, the deployment of their fleet in Apollonian waters and their puppet company meddling in every war and conflict that has ever been fought since its establishment... those aggressors are a threat to world peace and stability!"I have said it all along. SANE is inSANE,"

Testing nuclear weapons on rusting ships anchored off-shore from an obscure tropical island might be considered preferable to testing nuclear weapons on your own population.Jonas wrote:Hear! Hear!
