The 7 most powerful men in Communist Likon smiled and shook hands. In the Government house in the capital Danube, the leaders of the 5 Communist factions had joined in a new Communist Likon Socialist Coalition, the (CLSC) which combined has 98% of the vote, excluding the 2%held by the Capitalist "Progress, always Progress" party.
The 7 men had just signed a new chapter in the History of Communist Likon. The years of infighting between different Communist sections was over, Communist Idealism had joined the union and was now part of Communist Likon, and peace reigned through the land.
The men lifted their glasses to toast eachother, took a deep swallow, and smiled contentedly at eachother. 2 hours later, whether at home, or work, the poison had taken its effect and they were all dead.

In response to the brutal executions of the leading members of the Communist Likon government, the new Conductor, Stuart Canon has announced the clamp down of democratic rights until the killers have been found.
Conductor Canon, a former Major in the Red Army has given great temporary powers to the Secret Police the ONRS, and the Army to investogate the killings, which involves the right to arrest, and search, and interrogate without a warrant.
The Progress Party is seen as highly suspect at this time.

Although we sympathize with the loss of those leaders, we do not approve of your response. We hope this is not merely an auto-coup being used as an excuse to liquidate the opposition and expand the government into a police state. We ask that you refrain from obstructing the civil liberties of your people, because most of them were undoubtedly not affiliated with the heinous crime. We hope this can be resolved without bloodshed within your nation.

We, like that of the nation of Roach-Busters, sympathize with the loss of Communist Likon's heads of state. We also, though, feel that the path that Communist Likon has decided to take is one that is of an extremist, oppressive nation.

The United Socialist States of Neo-Soviet Russia also feels that the limiting of lliberties is counter productive. The population of Communist Likon are being punished for what seems to be the acts of a few. These banning on the rights of the people could also turn those who are indeed innocent against the government of CL. We feel the decisions made by Conductor Stuart Canon can and most possibly will make the situation worse, not better.

With that said, we too ask that the tactics which Communst Likon goes about finding these criminals are reviewed and changed.

Peter Bartlett, Captain in the ONRS organised his troops. 35 men, all equipped with the latest equiupment gathered around. He was a highly trained professional who would follow his orders to the letter, no matter how much he disagreed with them.
In the Northern city of Fideltia, the headquarters of the Progress party was meeting inside the building Bartlett and his men were outside of, underneath the party emblem, of a large green fist gripping a fistfull of CSSDiplomas. The building was opulent, with objects bought heavily from the black market for the adornment of the 12 members of the top echelon of the Progress Party.
"Your a bloody fool Ivanov!" Michael Patricks, the leader of the Progress party shouted at his subordinate. How could you do such a bloody stupid thing? Now there going to fall on us like a stack of bricks. Did you think you'd get away with it?"
Ivanov, the right wing extremist smiled. He had over 1,000 men loyal to him and many sympathisers in the party, and in Likon. His faction of the Progress Party, the Fists were prepared to go to any length to achieve their aim.
"Something had to be done Patricks, desperate times call for desperate measures, even if you don't have the stomach for it."
With that Ivanov slowly walked out of the building. Seeing Bartlett he turned and ran back inside, instantly going down into the basement and the secret sewer passage only he knew off.
Half an hour later Bartlet's men had 11 prisoners, took them to their HQ and set to work. They would soon have their answers, whatever it took.

Technocracia, although it is none of our business to intervene in your internal affairs, is saddened by the sudden cutback of civil rights in your nation, which this government considers a very bad decision. By taking away freedoms in order to preserve your government, you are taking a very big step down the dark road of totalitarian communism. We hope you will take a humanist communist approach in future, as we are beginning to do here in Technocracia. Despite this, we feel genuine sorrow for the loss of your leaders, may they rest in peace.

Albert Brezny,
President of Technocracia
MP, Communist-Liberal Party of Technocracia

To the Nations of the World from Stuart Canon, COnductor of Communist Likon.

Communist Likon has, since the Revolution been a dedmocratic Communist society who serves the people. We grant tolerance and understanding, which is why the Capitalists not only are not persecutedd for their beliefs, but are even allowed their own political party.
We do not believe in Sovietism, or Stalinism as it is known, but until we have purged ourselves from the terroist element, interested only in terror and destabilisation, we will do what is necessary to do so.
And if you don't like it...sod off

Foreign minister Ricardo Chavez

After informing El presidente Horatio Sanz II of these events, he has taken the view that, although San Fierro does not approve of permanent removal of civil liberties or the persecusion of capitalists, we can see that this is not what is happening here. We do agree that terrorism is unacceptable, and in cases such as this extreme measures should be taken.

Therefore, we support your current actions, although if this crackdown on civil liberties continues after the culprits are caught, our opinion will most likely change.
