In the interests of public safety, and peace and quiet, these books are now banned. Transporting them in will be punishable by painful and agonising death, involving lots of snails. And spiders.

And people named Joe. That is all we have to say on the subject.

Gospel of Judas Iscariot; Mein Kampf; Necronomicon; Every single Gnostic book in existence; The Book of Mormon; The Common Prayer Book; Das Kapital; Discourses; The Communist Manifesto

The following people may not enter the island of New Rohan, or any imperial provinces.

President Phoenix of Phalanix; Every member of the Shentavo family, unless accompanied by Inquisitors and being taken to the cathedral; The anti-popes; Morgoth; Overlord Var'chak; Premier Vladimir Putin; James Thompson, a 15 year old human boy living in East Islandia who was added due to a clerical error; Anyone travelling from Al Anbar or CACE nations; Everyone travelling with an Arda visa on their passport; Anyone from Knootoss or Brave New Ford World; People travelling from Soviet Haardregard must submit to a full-body search, and scan, before being allowed in.

Should they enter, they will be executed on the spot.

Well, in the case of Morgoth, we will *try* to execute them on the spot.

*Special Mention*

Anyone travelling from Raysia will be used as test subjects for Roanian weapons. :twisted:

EDITED: Thanks, Belem.

You've piqued my interest.... what's this 'Gospel of Judas Iscariot?'

You've piqued my interest.... what's this 'Gospel of Judas Iscariot?'

OOC: I saw it in the national library earlier today. Apparently it's Judas confessing and begging for mercy. I didn't read it, but it sounded heretical.

Well, to be fair, it was the guy's DESTINY..... not much he could do about it.....

I have a lot more sympathy for Judas after watching The Last Temptation of Christ, I guess.

OOC: you didn't ban monk? thats considered one of the most heretical books ever written. It really wasnt heretical but it showed how even the most holy of men can be tempted.

What about Haaregradians? We like drugs and sodomy and porn and no one goes to church, unless it's they're collecting taxes or forclosing on their morgages, or tearing the things down.

We're sorry to hear that you have rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I hope, someday, that will come to know your God and his Son as they really are. Until then, Merry Christmas at ground zero :)

Hmm.. Das Kapital but not the Communist Manifesto? The latter is usually how people learn about Marxism first off anyway. Kapital is biiiig and difficult for the average reader to slog through.

CACE AND Knootoss? Geeze, does Roania _not_ have a grudge against anyone around here?

CACE AND Knootoss? Geeze, does Roania _not_ have a grudge against anyone around here?lol he hates everyone. Apparently, the bible they use mistranslated as Hate thy neighbor, and fear thy inquisitors"

:P

frikkin psychos.

Look who's talking, Mr. lets send our baptists off to be executed on national TV =P Raysia doesn't strike me as the most sane of countries either. Even if their Skycleaners that I can't afford are pretty kickass.

Other than that, I recently OOC'ly struck the whole Theocracy idea... I'm a normal free nation now :P

Amerigan Smuggler 1--"You got the twenty copies of Necronomicon"
Amerigan Smuggler 2.--"Yeah. I hid them... They'll never find them if they search the ship."
Putin--"Can I get another airhole?"

I like Menelmacar... and NOD... and Baggera has his good points. But Knootoss is a bloody drug exporting lunatic, and CACE is full of communists.

Oh, and I forgot Raysia. I'll add you up there immediately.

I am not sure if I am honored or sad that I didn't make the list. I thought I was your favorite do-gooder (whom you keep trying to corrupt)

Kudos on banning the Shentavos. We have banned all vampires.

The question is, why would your people be entering my nation in the first place?

The only reason that I could think of is that my Catholics and vampire hunters might want to drop by for a visit.

You're right there, with the rest of CACE.

You might also want to consider banning everything by llewellyn press.

As far as I know I'm not in CACE... :?

You're on the list, then. Anyone else want to go on the list?

We are glad to see that Roania has made the sensible choice not to ban the classic Tsarainese political work, Sound Governance, from entry into their nation, and we anticipate the flowering of Roania into a Soundly Governed state.

yay! We made the list?

Not like anyone from Raysia in their right minds would go within 500 miles of your nation without a nuke strapped to their backs ;)

OH! I SO want to be on this list. It would be like being hated by the most hated man in town. I'm gonna wear that like a badge of honor.

Alpha Complex Bows to Ronia, whose blind anger and hatred puts ours to shame. I bet you kill your citizens even if they have a good excuse.

What? We're not on the list? Don't you know that a Rogue Government offical in C-G was the guy behind the nuking of Hundreds and Hundreds of Ronian Troops during the New_Spartian affair?

No? oh.. well.. erm.. forget I mentioned it, ^^:;

Hey Roania, what's wrong with Premier Vladimir Putin. We want get cheap nukes from Russia ...

Um, what of comics? Unless you've banned those already. You know, people like Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis... Satanists, to the man, except Gaiman, who's Jewish.

Oh, and the Necronomicon: our Republic's Library has a copy of Al-Azrad's Al-Azif, along with about several dozen different versions of that text, in about half a dozen languages. Those banned too, or are you talking about Wormius' Latin copy only?

What about books by Nietzche, Schopenhauer and Freud? Those banned too?

Edit: Oh, and probably about 60% of our Republic's Library. It's a great tourist spot, though some of those books are kept between titatium and lead plates. You know, for safety's sake. I mean, who needs Eliphas Levi when there are books that can melt the unprotected mind clear from their skulls?

Hey Roania, what's wrong with Premier Vladimir Putin. We want get cheap nukes from Russia ...

He's a bloody communist, that's what.

Also, he scares me.

Bush scares me more ... Putin is a commie with brains.

OOC: Expect to add Kazar-Tiyon to the "attempt to execute" part if you ever encounter him. That probably isn't likely, but I'm sure it will be interesting if it happens...

OOC: (Speaking as player of Crimmond and Baggera) It's Overlord Var'chak! It's spelled how it sounds.

Or is it an insult to the 'bloody heathen'?

Bush scares me more ... Putin is a commie with brains.He means the leader of Russian Forces. Not RL Russia.

Oh, that guy ... don't want to be on his wrong side.

I'm surpirsed that Lord Arithon isn't on the list. Or some of the other characters from this nation.

Perhaps I should work on a demonic script???

THANK YOU! I've been trying to get you to tell me how for the last 2 months!

Arithon should be smart enough to know his presence is not wanted.

I know Nez'gah is definately not welcome.

What about Balfar and Izual?

What? We're not on the list? Don't you know that a Rogue Government offical in C-G was the guy behind the nuking of Hundreds and Hundreds of Ronian Troops during the New_Spartian affair?

No? oh.. well.. erm.. forget I mentioned it, ^^:;

lol, so, what, are we banned or not?

Anyone travelling from Al Anbar or CACE nations

A traveling troupe of Outer Eugenian propogandists (not coming directly from the Federated Anarchist Communes as they are affiliated with the CACE) are now in Roania legally distributing copies of Mikhail Bakunin's God and the State and Peter Kropotkin's Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution as well as various materials by Chomsky, Bookchin, Proudhon and Goldman as well as the writings of well-known Outer Eugenian revolutionists and revolutionary theorists.

At this point, Roania might want to consider banning reading anything other than Roanian-approved material, which, I expect, will be a pretty small list.

Of course, they could always ban foreigners. That'd solve their immediate problems.

1) All of these are available for download on the Web

2) The material is now known to enough Roanians to make closing the borders a moot point

James Thompson?

I dotn believe i have very many caucasians in my nation

copies of the Communist Manifesto are airdropped by H9 bombers on high speed runs over Roania.

And so are copies of the Book of Five Rings by Musashi Minamoto

1) All of these are available for download on the Web

Official Roanian Statement: "The what now?"

OOC: The internet is only available to nobles and proffessionals in Roania

2) The material is now known to enough Roanians to make closing the borders a moot point

OOC: It would be, if the target audience, the manual laborers, were able to read any language besides Roanian... or even better, able to read Roanian beyond what is necessary to understand orders.

Speaking of reading ...

My factsheet ...
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101677&highlight=

OOC: You may want to ban those left-of-Lenin Tahar Joblissans, too... :wink: I've heard a rumor they are very subversive...

Oh, no. You may enter. Whether they'd be allowed to leave is another matter.

Well about 50 years ago NS time Teritora was exterime, we used to throw Atheists to the dragons and burn mormans and Prosestants at the stakes publicly, behead muslims and bury them in pig fat for steping foot in Teritora. Then we got smart, after all Teritora is a dangerious country, we can't protect them if they happen to annoy one of the monsters in the countryside or live in the catacombs or sewers and come out at knight. Amazing how many unwanted people dispeared that way...

OOC: It would be, if the target audience, the manual laborers, were able to read any language besides Roanian... or even better, able to read Roanian beyond what is necessary to understand orders. Outer Eugenian propogandists naturally teach night-classes in literacy wherever they 'open up shop' as it were. And young idealistic students are another 'target audience.' Peter Kropotkin was after all once a young Russian prince and the Tsar's own page. We also have many pamphlets meant for priviliged young children
(such as "Fair is Fair", "What Hunger Is" and "Little Boris In the Coal Mine") which we distribute with such classic fairy tales as Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince", "The Selfish Giant" and "The Devoted Friend."

OOC: Oscar Wilde's works come under homosexuality... which is punishable by a rather amusing death, and will remain so right up until Elentari Sirithril finds out about it.

Also, most Idealists find themselves in the Halls of the Damned.

His children's stories have no homoerotic themes. Your censors should at least take a look at some of the books that they are banning. And if the fires of revolution can be stoked in McCountry, then there is no place in the world immune from the human instinct for freedom and justice.

What about my nation? Your inquisitors hate my vampire Dom. And he hates them too.

didn't you forget me

The citizens of Cav rejoiced upon finding that they had neither read the books banned from Roania, nor were they on the ban list.

Chartered flights filled with tourists began taking off immediately from Cav's airports, headed for Roania.

didn't you forget me


No, actually. I didn't.

Cassetes (with players where needed) of anti-capitalist speeches by the Pope JPII are also being spread throughout Roania. Gonna be kinda akward to crack down on :lol:

"What book are you talking about?"

OOC: Oscar Wilde was also a devout Catholic who expressed strong christian-socialist sentiments in his stories for children BTW. Gotta be kinda hard realistically RPing an evil fascist nation that indoctrinates its slaves with a relegion that for all of it's absurdity and history of violance has a long tradition of humaniterianism. Now you understand why Orwell's INGSOC sought to delete all vestiges of 'oldthink' and to create humanity anew in its own monserous image :twisted:

What, no honorable mentions for your favority weapons testing range? :(

To: The "Government" of Roania,

From: Pape Razzi, Wombat News

We are delighted to see that your good sense has prevailed, and that you have not banned journalists from our esteemed publication from entry to your fine country. We very much look forward to casting the spotlight of truth on events in Roania.

"CRAP! QUICKLY! DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!"

OOC: Kau, you're already on one list. No one gets both lists.

I still think you forgot about me.. and on my birthday too. :(

No, I didn't, because you're not a pestilential do-gooder or irritating protestant. You're not on the list.

Done.

OOC: By the way are you going to ban all the books on the booklist?

OOC:
LOL - I didn't even know I was on the list. I'm well known ^_^

*cough* Ahem. This is all a terrible misstake.

Please refer to your SATO application thread for comments. I'd really like to work out some kind of trade arrangement so we won't export to your nation or something...
