Turn 73 ==> Demos
News from Cairo.
Well, Well the true colors are all to apparent. So we planned a cheap victory over Caligula, Bull ****! The PARIA council was a necessary defense mechanism. Rome had grown incredibly strong and Cairo feared that at any whim Rome could roll over any one of our civs if we did not bind together in a mutual defense alliance. Egypt clearly stated during the conference that if Rome did not act agressively, we would not attack Rome. We had already stated our intentions clearly on this Forum.
This alliance was in many ways designed to protect the very nation, who has instigated the violence against our beloved nation of Egypt, namely the hated Incans. In fact Egypt delivered two techs to them, Mass Production, Oil Refining so that they could protect thier pathetic dung pile of a nation. We have unfortunately learned too late that technology should never fall into the hands of a lesser peoples. If those dogs can ever be called people.
With that being said, Egypt begs forgiveness for her erroring ways. We hope that Rome feels compensated by the acquisition of two of Egypt's prize cities Giza and Busiris or was it Bubastis. As Caligula well knows or should know from taking those cities that Egypt was not planning an assault, or the cities would no doubt have more adequate defenses. We entreat Rome to forgive our errors.
May the Bastardly High Priest burn in hell.

Noble Lords,
In view of the geo-political situation it did not take Sherlock Holmes to work out the most likely, especially when I had threatened to take this very course of action, culprit for revealing to Rome the details of the 'PARIA' accord. Indeed, it was my understanding that all were to have been furnished with copies of recent communiques between myself and 'El Duce'. If you have not been then I will gladly provide you with the hard copy evidence but I think an open admittance of guilt should suffice.
If anyone is expecting an apology then I am afraid that they will be disappointed. I did what I felt to be neccessary and in similar circumstances would do so again.
Before too many 'high horses' are mounted though I would remind you that Inca duplicity and covert understandings are far from the only ones in this World of ours. The only thing which marks out mine is the lack of concern as to it's ultimate disclosure as it is pointless to attempt to keep secret that which will become apparent through actions rather than words. You need only but scratch the surface to find evidence of lies and deceit, promises made with no intent of honouring them and attempts to 'play both ends against the middle'.
Is it not the case that whilst instigating the entire 'PARIA' conspiracy Egypt was in a state of formal Alliance with Rome? Would someone care to explain why Rome is finding 'Citizen Edison' so especially productive recently? Why was Rome so 'genuinely' surprised at Assyrian complicity in an Alliance against her? Why was Assyria advocating an entirely different policy direction to the Inca whilst taking part in a Global Summit to discuss the means of bringing about Rome's downfall in 'cooperation' with Egypt? All these and many other questions remain unanswered.
A cold hard World is no place for altruism or selfless endeavour. We all have our own
interests but be honest enough to admit that the only one that really counts is 'Self-Interest'. I offer no apologies nor make any plea for forgiveness. I expected to be reviled for my actions but I do beg that none should stoop to sanctimony.
High Priest Jon, Lord of the Loathed.

Official Statement Of Cairo
Cairo and Rome had never been in an official state of alliance, it is true that years ago we had worked together with our science but such coordination had ended years ago, long before we had declared a defensive pact intending to help Inca. High Priest Jon your lies do you no good.

It would appear that after acquiring Egyptian knowledge, the Incans have found a lust for expanding their minds. Reports filter in of scientific acquisitions from the Romans aswell.
It would appear that the Incans are doing very well from this upheaval.

Cairo has accepted the Roman peace treaty. And will leave Hawara, next turn as well as forward steel to the fascists.

The citizens of Cuzco celebrated in the streets as news emerged of the signing of a formal Alliance with our esteemed Roman neighbours.
Inca professors were working long into the night studying the wonderous new Technologies furnished us by the learned men of Rome.
Speaking from the Temple in Cuzco, High Priest Jon declared, 'Here we see the reward for the upholding of the Inca principals of Honour, Truth and Integrity. We could have allowed ourselves to have been bullied by three major powers, one of whom even stooped to the use of brute force, into taking part in a shabby and underhand plot but we stood firm by our beliefs and now you, my people, have Movie Theatres to entertain you! Whatever World opinion may say we did the right thing and though honesty is it's own reward it sometimes brings bonuses'.

Demosthenes is finding it difficult to keep up with the political landscape at present. We find the Fascists of Rome starting and ending a brief conflict with Egypt, then being set upon by the Assyrians, who are already at war with the Incans.
Wales is worried that such turmoil may spread from the continent to our tranquil island. Be warned, nations of war and destruction, the peaceful and sovereign island of Wales will not stand any aggression laid in her path, and will defend herself with whatever means we see fit.

The Inca are most intrigued as to just what the consequences of non-compliance with Assyrian demands would be. Should we fear invasion? Perhaps piracy would be more likely as theft appears to be the law in Assyrian culture rather than the crime it is elsewhere?
Having launched an unprovoked war upon us you expect us to sit back passively and simply accept that what Assyria claims to be it's own should be 'International Law'. We then find that you have unleashed War upon our Roman allies using similarly flimsy excuses as a pretext.
The Inca desire peace with all nations but not at any cost! Until we have an agreed border, not an Assyrian dictated one, and all hostilities against both ourselves and our Roman friends have ceased Inca naval operations will continue. Should this unfortunate situation continue it may become neccessary for ground forces to be employed as well. It is the great hope in Cuzco that this should not be forced upon us.

Mighty Caligula, the ships in the water off the mainland are now moving west, through the Welsh Channel. Our maps had been mis-informing us as to which nation certain cities belong. We can now see where your new border extends to, and were only clarifying this.
