Now call me a Geek Sympathiser if you must, but to continue what was said earlier, how do you expect to develop new weaponry? Would you ship off all your scientists because you consider them geeks? What'd happen then? A major invasion, that's what! To a nation who kept the geeks, but gained superior weaponry, you paint a bullseye on your nation.

Our country would like to express its willingness to accept your "geeks and nerds"

We will pay you $12 for each one that you send to our country.

However, we condemn this act and would like to state that our country believes in equality for all; meaning no mass deportations based solely on stereotypes.

We understand that Titsaplenty has had trouble with her population of "undesirables," the so-called geeks and nerds that occupying valuable land in her nation. We sympathize with our sibling and are prepared, at no additional cost, to welcome any and all geek and nerd refugees with open arms and unlimited broadband wireless internet access.

Fact of Life: Geeks and Nerds are the only people who can design, build, maintain, and operate many modern weapons systems, including nukes, as well as a high-tech infastructure.

But if you don't want them, just deport them; as you can see, there are plenty of nations willing to pay you for them. Just don't expect to be able to support anything more advanced than, oh, Vietnam-level infantry weapons, WW2-level mechanised forces, no airforce, and a navy consisting of converted civilian ships retrofitted with heavy machine guns.

And that's only the stuff you could support, if you bought it from someone else who kept their geeks and nerds.

Honourable leaders,
Why not deport all nerds to a single region within your nation from which they can provide us with the know-how and techonolgy. But of course, we would have to keep them 'looked after' properly.

Titsaplenty is a subhuman nation that has no respect for learning or knowledge!

We delieve to your subhuman government a 4-day ultimatum that the deportation/killing of geeks and nerds to be stopped or else we will firing our missiles that are aimed at your important government/military facilities and then we may consider invading your pathetic lands and grind your anti-knowledge population into mince!

The only peoples that should be considered as oxygen wasters are the mentally retarded, the immoral, the sexually incorrect and the under achieving bastards, but not the intellectually superior.

We hope that you digest our words carefully or tragic consequences will follow.

He turns back to the console, selecting targets based on the high altitude infrastructure scans.

"geeks of the world, unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains." HE says, rather ironicly, waitning for the Titsaplentiful reply.

The Government of Titsaplenty has analysed your nominations as 'Safe Havens' for our Nerds and Geeks and as such we now include you in our plans for Blitzkreig.

The Geeks and Nerds are not available to other countries, they are being 'resettled' in the East.

We are keeping all the good ones, the ones that can help us so our plans for space based weapons platforms are still on track.

Any other country that comes forward and offers itself as a safe haven for Geeks and Nerds will jump to the head of the queue for 'resettlement' once Titsaplenty has occupied them.

President Boobs

I took that to mean, near future to futuristic, and as I'm not useing any ubber tech, nothing in that post, with the exception of the defencive shields, is beyond the grasp of a modern nation.

Titsaplenty Deports Geeks and Nerds - Citizens restrited from travel

Alliston, Lawrance -
On 9 Dec 2003, Titsaplenty issued a resettlement order for Geeks and Nerds to the amazement of many nations. The Pacifian Islands Government entered into talks with Titsaplenty and was able to obtain an agreement for our citizens.

Citizens of Pacifian Islands are given 7 days to leave and must leave silverware and gold teeth. The government assures citizens that they will be able to file claims for reimbursment of costs. The Ministry of State and Diplomacy issued a travel restriction for all citizens. The Embassy in Titsaplenty will close on 15 Dec 2003 and the last Pacifia Air plane will leave Titsaplenty 24 hours later. A spokesperson for the Ministry of State and Diplomacy said that although Titsaplenty has not banned all citizens, the ministry set the order for all citizens for their protection and to avoid a debate on who is a geek or nerd.

The Pacifian Island Government has also refused political asylum to citizens of Titsaplenty. The National Parliment issued a statement saying they were surpised and saddened at the actions of our leaders. The spokesperson for the Governour General said that Govenour General Louis Bouchard believed that allowing asylum would lead us into an unnessasry war.

Regarding world tension, The Nation of Sino plans to launch an attack on Titsaplenty in 4 days. The Ministry of State and Diplomacy plans to ask Sino to wait until all citizens of Pacifian Islands have left Titsaplenty. The Ministry of Intelligence and Information has told the cabinet that this could be an all out war based on the information they have.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson has said that the military level has been upgraded to level 4 - Heightened alert, non-specific threats. The spokesperson said this was done in because of the tensions in relation to the resettlement act and to inform reserves that their services may be needed in the unlikely event that we are attacked or for humanitarian concerns.

The reasons behind this Resettlement Act have not been discovered.
