You shall see what a country ruled by God can do! Your monarchy with its earthly rulers does not scare us, for if God is with us, who can be against us? For all of its history, Roma Hawaiiana has been preparing for the Rapture. This small hiccup will prove a good test as to where we stand.
On a different note, are you asking for Constantinople, Limington? (This could have large ramifications in terms of our involvement. The Hagia Sophia is especially precious to us.)

In all honesty Roma Hawaiiana has been itching for a fight for some time now(it is our nature as the Sword of the Church). However, even has the nation has calmed down following the early uproar, we simply cannot allow Constantinople to fall. I will ask Toumba to allow our forces to be involved only in the defense of that holy city. We fight for Constantinople.

Limington Fights not to destroy the Holy city of Constantinople but to bring it back into the fold of European powers. The Catholic Church is very prominent in the Kingdom of Limington, while the church does not rule the nation, we still honor it. Many citizens of Limington are devout followers within their own homes, minimal priests are tollerated and small churches are allowed within the nation. Limington forces will not fight within the city, and should Toumba decide to set defenders in the holy city we will simply wait them out until they starve.

Roma Hawaiiana will have to reconsider its position, but for now the 3rd MEU will stay in Constantinople.

As we have clearly stated, Roma Hawaiiana's military assistance is first and foremost a symbolic gesture against blind aggression on Limington's behalf. We don't hide behind your troops, as Limington accused us, obviously judging others by their own standards. Therefore we have no intention of placing your troops in the front line. The 3rd MEU is granted station in Constantinople, to be utilized for the defense of the capital. Trust not Limington's reassurements. No church,no religion for that matter, cannot live, prosper and flourish without freedom and under the rule of oppressive maniacs. Regardless of Limington's claim, always within our Nation's realm Constantinople has always been "the City", both the cradle and crown jewel of the Toumbiot Nation and the beacon of western civilization in dark times for the wider Region and the values of religious and ethnic tolerance and cooperation. [OFF RP: Ok guys, in order to get this thing going...-> ON RP again:
0634 hours-Situation Room Minor incidents have been reported on both the Aegean and the Evros River borders. According to not yet confirmed accounts shots have been fired from the Limington side on Toumba border patrols at 0618 h, no casualties reported though 2 Toumba Army privates are said to have been injured. At 0625 h the Republic's Navy Destroyer "DD 77 - Admiral Vassilas" spotted an enemy submarine crossing into our territorial waters NE of the island of Samos. After firing two warning shots, the sub has been confirmed returning to its original position behind the border line. Since no harm has yet befallen on any of the opposing fractions, in an effort to end this without unnecessary loss of blood, secret communique has been sent to the Supreme Commander of the Limington Army, for the final time urging a peaceful resolution to this crisis.
Furthermore, an alarming video has been allegedly sent both to the National Toumba Broadcaster (NTB) and to media in Limington. NSA agents that have intercepted the message before its broadcast by Toumba Media presented it to the office of the National Security Advisor, indicating that it contains terrorist threats aiming at both Toumba and Limington civilian population. Terrorist cells of the Holly Army of Paradise, taking advantage of the current crisis,supposedly have entered both countries and are planning the release of biological agents within major civilian centers. No confirmation of the threat can be made regarding Limington's side, since there is no info flowing out of the nation, but informants seem to confirm activity of suspect groups in the outskirts of Constantinople. Excerpts: "God has watched you sin, has watched your leaders drenched in rage and blood and filth. Warmongers that claim to be fearless soldiers, Hypocrites that claim to love peace and equality, both abominations, both trespassers, both arrogant fools in the eyes of the Lord. But He shall strike down rage and hypocrisy, He shall crush the Western Crusaders, He shall cleanse this Region of the infidel barbarians. And He shall arm our hands with fire and plague and thunder.Infidels will perish, if not by their own hands then by the Hand of Lord"

Just so it is clear, the Holly(did you mean Holy?) Army of Paradise is not in anyway affiliated with Roma Hawaiiana. Its extreme religous and militiristic views may seem similar to ours, but we fight with honor and would never attack civilian centers purely to kill innocents.

I regret the fact that a mere typo transformed a terrorist group that claims to be driven by religious beliefs (though not sure what those may be) into an army of merry christmas carolers weaving holly-wreaths and chanting "let it snow let it snow let it snow" in the mid of May under the scorching sun, wearing scarfs and long coats at 30oC. Or was it a group of maliciously driven around in limos suspicious looking groups of Hollywood celebs and starlets that fear a war could cast them right out of prime time TV (you think?-nah!), so they disguised as terrorists in order to avert losing much sought after publicity about who dates whom and who buys what? Nope, just a typo I'm afraid. The Holy Army of Paradise is a certified proud terrorist group, with no carolers or hollywood celebs in their midst whatsoever! Back to RP everyone!
(Restassured that no christmas loving psychiatric patients or hollywood types were harmed during the typing of the post above)
At this point there is no indication whatsoever as of the nationality or official affiliation of the group with any of the recognized Med Nations. [feel free to elaborate]

TOP SECRET Roma Hawaiiana will conduct a raid on one of the enemy enclaves west of Cairo in the Eyptian desert at 1900 hours tonight. Perhaps the "Holy" Army of Paradise is also looking to stir up trouble in Eygpt.

Toumba-Constantinople-Situation Room
Updated reports on the recent terrorist activity indicate movements of sleeper cells in the southeastern region of the Med as well. In an attempt to prevent smooth transition of power in Egypt, H.A.P. affiliates will allegedly attempt to disrupt the planned conference between Roma Hawaiiana and Vitosoprano.One of the Don's crews on site, currently working to ensure the security of the event, has been able to extract information from certain individuals concerning the terrorist threat.According to Caporegime Reginarosae, a small group of ten individuals in two groups of five last seen in the Red Sea is currently heading westwards to Cairo, carrying suitcases containing veils of an as of yet unidentified biological agent set to be released during the transition conference. Men interrogated claim to have no knowledge of the terrorist's demands, though they do hint that they appear to be trying to ignite a guerrilla war within local population against all western or christian powers in the region, in order to claim lands in Egypt, the Holy Lands, the Near East and the Aegean as their own, namely as "lands of the Lord", and use them as bases for attacks in the heart of the Med. Roma Hawaiiana's security forces have been notified and are on the verge of cracking down on terrorist supporters stationed in the Egyptian desert.
Sharm el-Sheikh - County Hospital: "At 16:40 today patient P.M.T., female, 29, was brought in from the outskirts of the city by relatives. The patient complained of severe abdominal pain while on a bus-trip from the eastern parts of the country. Until her admission, 89 minutes after initial complaints, she developed upper torso eczema, heavy perspiration and difficulty breathing. Initial test results are not conclusive, even though indicating toxic reaction to unknown agents and rapid deterioration of the patient's immune system possibly due to viral infection. Further testing required. Suggesting informing the ministry of transportation.
On a personal note:Blood tests are nothing that i've ever seen before. No natural biological agent could cause such a mess... Tarek Ali Mahfouz, MD"

A curfew has been put into effect in Cairo, and security checkpoints have been established in the city. Armed troops are guarding transportation hubs and are on the lookout for suspicous individuals. The raid on the terrorist compound west of Cairo yielded little in the way of information. All 400 terrorists at the encampment fought to the death, and no documents were recovered. The 4th MEU has been called up from reserve status in Malta to actively search and destroy terrorist outposts in the desert. Rumors involving the withdrawl of the 3rd MEU from Constantinople were put to rest by President Starkey, but Roma Hawaiiana's forces are spread dangerously thin around the Med and it can only be a matter of time before something gives. Any help in locating the source of the pathogen will be greatly appreciated, as the transition of power is proving much more difficult than first anticipated. www.fmep.org/settlement_info/photo_data/checkpoint_azaria.jpg

Don: last paisan out of cairo, turn out the lights!! In all seriousness; this business with constantinople has to come to head soon, my cruise businsses are crashign over here!! I'm losing money!! Now I'm not one to get into someone's business, but from where I sit, Romahawaiiana seems to have their hands full in Cairo (God bless you); and Toumba, just a suggestion, but quoting Bob Knight, if rape is inevitable, why not lay back and enjoy it? Just my opinion, and please i mean no disrespect whatsoever, you guys want to throw around God and angels and crap, but really what it comes down to is business; and that my friend is what i'm expertly skilled in, that and making friends and influencing people. On a side note let me say that my navy will be on the east side of the Boot, merely conducting exercises, and we are not posturing in any way. Grazie.

The situation is worsening in Cairo, and hospitals are becoming swamped with patients that they have no idea how to cure. Toumba, Roma Hawaiiana regrets to say that the 3rd MEU will have to be withdrawn to Egypt. One battalion will remain behind as a token force, but we are afraid that for now you stand on your own against Limington's aggression. It is also unfortunate that the people of Southern Italia have become so enamoured with wordly things that they no longer have connections to their religous roots. Perhaps in time we can see to the rectification of that situation. For now though, are hands are full in the desert. cache.viewimages.com/xc/3308107.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=BAA3E61C514E7EC63304112D83712DEEA55A1E4F32AD3138

Consigliere: The Don is becoming increasingly annoyed at the veiled threats by Romahawaiiana. Our nations have been friends for years now, that being said, friendships never take precedence over business. Please do not make the mistake again of judging the Family.
