The FUNGAL AXIS happily accepts
New Gottland as a new member nation! The FUNGAL AXIS also extends an offer at membership to the
Sovereign Duchy of Baerne.
Also, Shroomanian trading companies have expressed interest in the II Republic's new Fast Commerce Ships.
The Mushroom Military is also interested in the II Republic's proposed sea-and-air defense network for the LUN involving their new Zorian Advanced Anti-Shipping Missiles. A military technology exchange would be mutually beneficial for the allied nations in the FUNGAL AXIS and the LUN as Shroomania is also willing to export the ABM railgun (and Zablanian laser) technologies currently in development.
The LUN and the FUNGAL AXIS share the same ideals and beliefs to a commitment for a more peaceful and stable world, and such a deal would bolster both allies' abilities to defend themselves and one another from outside aggression.
As such:
Stas Bush wrote:[OOC] I propose to all SD Nations the following rules of international war conduct:
- attacking another nation without a declaration of war (surprise attack post) is to be punished immediately by the relevant Military Treaty (generally most nations fall into one, so there's little issues here)
- attacking a nation should be done with a 1 real day private (PM) declaration of war to the Nation Leader, to give the opposing party the chance to respond - the maximum wait is 3 days, in case no reply, the nation's government is on hiatus for the game, possibly

- after the private declaration matters have been settled between attacker and attacked, a formal war declaration is issued in the thread, and the war starts!
This is to avoid problems with attacking nations that are inactive, or worse yet attacking an active nation and writing fort a war history before the other party can respond.
The fast assembly of the Zoria Multinational Defense Force was done in a legal mishmash when rules were not yet established, but henceforth we need to set at least this basic rule - all other affairs are more easily settled between members.[/OOC]
Shroomania would like to ratify this proposition for international war conduct.

OPERATION SYNDROMIAN STRIKE
As heavy rioting breaks out in the AXIS-partition zone of Syndromia, Shroomanian peacekeepers prepare to hold their ground and pacify the dissidents.
However, despite the efforts of Shroomanian peacekeepers, the mobs of Syndromian rioters turned violent and resorted to improvised weaponry - setting cars and buildings ablaze.
In the aftermath, the Syndromians who did not join in the violence woke up to find their cities only further ravaged by destruction. Casualties number in the high dozens...
Despite the best efforts of the interim Syndromian government and foreign peacekeepers, reconstruction efforts have been plagued by setbacks as anarchists and insurgents do battle against the occupation forces.
The Sovereignty of Shroomania has released a statement, saying that it will continue to hold the anarchist leader Standford Brant until he is tried in court, and that the Mushroom Military will continue its anti-insurgency operations.
Nonetheless, despite the violence, the rebuilding process continues...
