President Nemo’s visit to Washington resulted in American support for his government in the United Nations Security Council, as well as limited support and aid for the goals of his government. The meeting was designed to allow Nemo and the U.S. to work out a deal in private without involving other U.N. members or parties. This is fairly common in diplomacy.
The U.S. is agreeing to assist Nemo in a loose capacity, primarily by supporting the Security Council’s extension of Col. D’Unpetit’s mission, as well as the addition of the scope of his mission. However, the U.S. is not supporting a CRUD mission due to doubts that such an operation would be effective. Effectively, the U.S. is advocating cautious support for Nemo and cautious progress on the situation in Erehwon.
The State Department will oppose the French’s draft Security Council resolution due to their belief that a mission of that type is not necessary at this time and would not be effective. This is based on the progress of the war between Nemo’s government and Islamic separatists. The U.S. does not want to inflame the situation further by deploying a peacekeeping force that has the potential to further destabilize the country and worsen the situation.
American citizens in Erehwon are at considerable risk due to the continued deterioration of the situation there and the threats issued by Sheikh Bukra Inshallah. Inshallah has successfully seized three provinces of Erehwon, proclaimed an independent Islamic republic with himself in charge, and has announced that he plans to conquer the entire country. Given that America is supporting—even in a limited way—President Nemo’s government, this makes the U.S. an enemy of Inshallah’s forces. This therefore this places any American citizens in the country at risk of kidnapping or retaliation on the part of Inshallah’s forces and supporters, further adding to the already tense and chaotic situation there. American citizens are advised to leave Erehwon as soon as possible for their own safety as the region deteriorates.
