Petition: Military Doctrine

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Bosworthian people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding statement; land, sea, and air forces with assault capacities, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. However in recognition of the fact that not all the nations of the world recognise the principle outlined in this document; self defence forces may be maintained to ensure the security and safety of the Bosworthian people and national territorial integrity against internal and external violent actions.

[Ryan of the Fordneys]

This reminds me a bit of the military treaty imposed on Japan after WWII, wherein they could only maintain a defensive force. It also reminds me of Costa Rica, which hasn't had a standing military since 1949.

What type of forces/armament did you have in mind to go along with this? And what time period is the military set in here?

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

The military will be modern outside of roleplay. Basically we'll have modern ships, destroyers etc, aircraft, fighters and intercepters, and ground forces but no ICBM's or anything such as that. We'll be fully protected with all the modern weaponry, but we won't have enough to wage a major offencive. We'll need enough to defend Bosworth, the two river colonies and the assosiated waterways, and Gascony.

Also if Bosworthian citizens are abroad our forces should have the capacity to help them if it's required.

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

If no other objections arrise, might we proceed?

[King Wentworth II]

Oh yes please do, I've just noticed I hadn't previously commented on this, I do apologise. Shold a basic map be drawn up to show where abouts the main bulk of our troops are, of course only shaded in areas not dots and such.

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

Well make it a decree or something then sire . We could do a garrison list i suppose, if I were to edit the old maps to include more cities/towns we could then add defence forces bases to it.

[King Wentworth II]

I will go make it a decree but should we give the doctrine a name other than 'Military Doctrine'?. Something catchy which can stand out in the micronational community.

[Ryan of the Fordneys]

The Wentworth Doctrine.

[King Wentworth II]

Oh god no, what about 'The Hart Doctrine'. Ryan, Harts both mine and Jeremy's surname (Micronationaly).

[Duke Jeremy of Gascony]

The Hart Accord maybe?

[King Wentworth II]

Yes that sounds perfect.

[Ryan of the Fordneys]

Sounds good. I honestly can't think of anything better!
