The Government of Shangia is forced to request help evacuating its citizens and asking for foriegn governments to open their borders to Shangian citizens as refugees due to the immendous natural disaster that has struck our a large nation.
All shangians must move south toward the equator with in the next 7 days.
Meantime, several Shangian cities were destroyed by earthquakes measuring 8.7 on the richter scale resulting in the deaths of 125 million shangians.
Three of our coastal cities including our capital have wiped out by massive tidal waves and our scientists report the worst is yet to come.

The Shangian government also seeks permission to set up a government in exile.

Just minutes ago reports came in that a massive earthquake measuring 7.2 on the richter scale has just completely wiped out the Shangian city of San Juacinto, causing the ground to open and swallow the city and all of its inhabitants. There is a large 5 mile long crack measuring 1 mile in width where the city used to be.
The President again urgently pleads with the world community to accept shangian refugees.

Camera views pyrotechnics shooting out of a mountain top and landing on nearby villages. Lava is running down the sides of the large mountain as the ground shakes.

Voiceover "As you can see Mount Killamanjaro, in the eastern half of
Shangia, has just erupted and government sources sadly report that there is no way to rescue the people caught in the shadow of its awesome display of destructive power".

A large glob of molten rock lands just in front of the camera landing a three cars in a long line of vehicles fleeing the region.
The sky is black with soot and ash. People are running but are getting clobbered by puma and other falling debris.
And wave of puma (poisonous volcanic gas) completely suffocates a small town right at the base of the volcanoe.
The town had 20,000 inhabitants.

The world government will assist in the evacuations and will accept refugees from the disaster zones.

Thanks.

To update, huge chunks of ice the size of BMW's are now falling from the sky through out the nation.

OOC: Someone's been watching Day After Tomorrow, haven't they....

IC:

The Government of Falastur offers its services to Shangia. We will evacuate any citizens who need transporting to our shores, and will loan you the use of a grand building in the Embassy District of our country, to serve as a building for the Government-in-Exile. We also offer our services in whatever else we can do.

The hail storm has given way to a steady heavy rain.
Several people have been struck and killed by lightening and the winds are picking up.

A fleet of over 200 converted Liners, in permanent usage transporting refugees, has been detailed to head to Shangia. Expect more to follow. One of the Liners have been especially detailed to retrieve your Government and any staff within it, as well as any official documents and equipment necessary, and take them to the new Government building.

Until then, please just say the word and we shall help in whatever way we can.

We thank Falastur for their assistance in this time of need.
Unfortunately we were unable to retreive paper copies of our documents befroe the tidal wave destroyed our capital and the president barely escaped with his life.
A new volcanoe has appeared smack dab in the middle of the city Falucuna.

Can Felastur handle up to 1 billion refugees?

Falastur can hold upwards of that amount. We recently purchased a large space of land, and have several other sites to place refugees. We are establishing camps across the country. We also have Imperial territories to use, if the need be.

OOC: Going out, I'll post later.

Excellent. We would like our national disaster personnel to coordinate with your people on the evacuation.
We have begun experiencing alternating hot and cold spells with people dying from heat stroke one minute then blast frozen to death the next.
The weather in Shangia is acting really really weird.

Our evacuation staff have been ordered to link up with your national disaster personnel. Our medics are also being prepared to combat the weather-related afflictions found in the refugees.

We thanks you for your assistance. We are hoping your evac vehicles are air conditioned cause the temp. is beginning to soar and our thermostats are showing temperatures of 101 degrees Farenhiet.

Meantime, the southern half of the continent has just completely broken away from the southern half in the wake of a massive qauke that literally measured 11.2 on the richter scale. All cities and villages have now been completely destroyed with casualties estimated to be over 356 million.
Some of our people are now in need of psychological help as they seem to be suffering post traumatic stress syndrome.

We must warn all nations to avoid shangian waters. Yacht size bubbles of poisonous carbon monoxide gas have been spotted breaking through the sea floor, rising to the surface where they are bursting. It has been determined this is why the temperatures are skyrocketing.
Temp is currently 125 degrees, clearly to unsafe to be outside. All plastic products are melting.

My fellow world leaders, I come before you at a moment of significant tumult in world affairs. The threat of aggressive, dictatorial regimes hangs over us more and more with each passing moment, and the time for a final stand has, I believe, come!

I am currently pursuing an aggressive campaign to stomp out the horrors of dictatorship in the Republic of Incisor by establishing a strong cener-left coalition. I have opened the diplomatic channels with Incisor and I am pursuing United Nations assisstance in this time of great urgency.

Together, the liberal world can finally send a message to the dictators that they will no longer be tolerated. That our ideals are indeed the moral choice and that they will never again threaten the stability and safety of the free world.

Stop spamming.

Us here in the Mid Oxbar Islands region gladly extend a helping hand to a neighboring country in need. We are willing to be of assistance, just let us know what we can do.

We need help getting the rest of our people out of the country.

Wrong nation. I am not using that one. I am using this one.
Sorry for the confusion.

Though we are but a fledgling nation, the Holy Empire of Pallia will do whatever we can to assist in your evacuation efforts. The Grand High Oracle has already instructed all the Oracles and Priests of our temples to beg the Gods for mercy and aid. Beyond our prayers and our willingness to accept refugees, however, we fear we will be unable to offer useful service.

we will accept what aid you are able to offer.

Having evacuated the first few ship-loads of civilians, we are diverting more Liners to help rescue Shangians. We are well aware of the risks, but it is the only thing we can do.

In the meantime, huge refugee camps have been set up outside Terila (our capital) as well as all over Falastur, and your Government has been set up (well, dropped off and given time to establish themselves) in their new place of residence and Government, located in the heart of Terila. They can now broadcast in safety. If your Government has any more wishes for us, please just tell us and we will do our best.

We thank our friends for their assistance in our time of need.
We also thank them for hosting our government in exile.
Our sattelites show that our nation, what's left of it, is now covered by huge black clouds from debris from the meteors strikes, volcanic eruptions, and the eruption of carbon monoxide gas from the sea bottom. Our homeland is now under total darkness. Though, on the good side, the quakes and volcanism have stopped and the last meteor (measuring 5 miles in diameter) is due to enter the atmosphere this weekend and strike a spot in western shangia. The threat from futher under water carbon monoxide erutions has past. We believe the eruptions were caused by the intense fury of the recent earthquakes which appear to have ripped open a huge carbon monoxide reserve under the sea bottom.
Shangia mourns the loss of 789 million of its people. The biggest loss suffered by any nation from a natural disaster.
However, the danger has not passed, the air in shangia is now too poisonous to breath and it is believed that it will take 5 months for the deadly gas to dissapate. Further, unmanned probes have shown temperatures dropping after having climbed to 150 degrees.
Current temps in the homeland now average 120. The temp seems to be dropping ten degrees a day.

so the land that was shangia is uninhabitable?

so the land that was shangia is uninhabitable?
Unfortnately yes. But one day, we will return to our homeland.
This is the dream of every Shangian. But this cannot be for another 5 years.
Many shangians are sad cause they cannot go home.

Our Great High Oracle wishes to extend deepest condolences for the loss of so many innocents, as well as expressing relief that the worst seems to be. It is as if Gaia herself has taken arms against you and all of Olympus is powerless against her. Perhaps Zeus will see fit to call forth storms to clear the air. Our prayers are with you always, and we will continue to attempt whatever we can to help you in your time of need.

We thank our human friends for their prayers but it seems as you noted, Gaia and the gods are against us.

And through it all, the various races of Shangia worked together, inpsite of their racial and religious preferences to save their fellow Shangians.

Yes even we Shangian have differing ethnic and race groups in our species.

The last of the Shangian-Refugee Fleets has reached Falastur and docked. Much of the remaining Shangian population is now in Falastur. We also offer any Shangians not in Falastur the chance to return to their families and friends in our country, however they need not if they don't wish to.

Meanwhile, back inside Falastur, care workers are working tirelessly to help those in need of medication, and to constantly improve the refugee camps, adding new amenities, upgrading the camp facilities and services, and securing large numbers of All-Falastur passes (special visas guaranteeing access to any public place, transportation method or any of many other leisure activities, all over Falastur, and enabling the holder to visit these places for free rather than pay the regular cost). We are also aiming to incorporate the refugee camps into the current cities which they lie next to and which are providing for them. This should allow for greater camaradie between our peoples, and should grant greater access to those without the special visas.

We are ever continuing to find more ways to better accommodate your people. We only hope we are doing an adequate job.
