In a bizarre form of protest, anti-nuclear activists in the newly founded nation of BaaMoo let off a massive nuclear explosion in the capital city, Tweet, levelling the terrain for miles around.
A member of 'Don't Nuke Us, We'll Nuke You' explained this odd occurance at a press conference: 'We wanted to show the kind of thing that will go on for centuries if the current UN resolution is not passed... The same will happen in major cities everywhere unless it is put through'. Members of the unarmed Police Force stood uncertainly still as the man walked away.
'Perhaps it's time we cracked down a bit on criminals like these... but we really don't like to intrude' Interior Minister, Sir Twiddlebee Marvilans, said after the incident.
Some Parlimentary rebels tabled a motion whereby posters would be put up asking for terrorists to give themselves in. It was crushed by the Liberal majority.
While having a large Police presence, the country has very few enforcable laws. 'We looked in the handbook, and it seems that killing people is legal, if you don't do it with a parrot's beak or a compass', said one officer.
'I had a feeling something bad was going to happen,' the Head of the diminuative Secret Service said. 'But I thought it already had when I dropped my donut'.
'Perhaps I'll have a coup against my own country to make these bloody fools see sense...' President Jadii Rhombus muttered into the microphone, thinking it was off, provoking gasps of horror amongst the crowd.
It is yet to be seen what effect this will have on the voting for the resolution, which ends tonight.

OOC: Good throw...
IC: This act of terrorism will most likely NOT sway any vote but any such attacks on the EOL, despite our non-UN status, will result in immediate oblivion for the people who are responsible.

Irondin wishes to send help to the deaster area ans send aid for the famliys that were affected by the attack

President Rhombus stood by the open window and heard the muffled cacaphony of ambulances from all over the city. Muffled, as the noise caused many complaints at first. They, along with every single other on the island, were rushing towards the outskirts of Tweet, were there might still be survivors. He sighed.
'Uh, President? Uh, some guy from... from... Irondin? Yeah. 'E's on the phone. Sez 'e can send in some aid and stuff' said Nadia, the attractive but brainless secretary.
'Tell him it would be very much appreciated, and put him on to the Interior Minister.' She passed this on through the telephone reciever, and then put it down. 'Also...' the president started. 'Also, make this following statement known to every person in every city of this country; a state of emeergency has been called. Citizens are advised to remain indoors, lest they be picked up and interrogated by police forces. Food will be supplied once daily, enough for whoever is inside. And commit the Police and the Army to search through every house, every laboratory, and whatever other buildings there are until the ones who did this are found. I want justice served.' For a moment, his eyes blazed with the fervour that made him go into politics; for the good of the world, and the people.
'Buh... buh the people... they'll go crazy. They'll rise up against ya,' mumbles Nadia.
'Remove their right to revolt also then. This shall not happen again.'
Nadia gets up, slowly and warily. She picks up the neccesary papers, never before used, and heads out of the door.

Irondin will ship clean water and whatever BaaMoo needs for reconstrution
