"The forces of whoredom are at work in other lands, but not here... We still believe in keeping the word of the Lord our God. On the urging of my sister, Eleanor Fabus, a proponent of morality and modesty, I am hereby mandating that the morality police will be instructed to assure all women are dressing modestly. Those who fail to dress modestly will be fined and immediately ordered to be covered from neck to ankle. The suggested dress code is that they wear their government issued clothing from neck to ankle when outside of their homes and when in the company of any male that is not a relative. Women should not be concerned with looking attractive for anybody other than their husband. The exemptions to this law will be stated briefly."

Czar Roger Fabus



Exempt:
1) Active duty military
2) WKM rallies
3) Women in the Diplomatic Corps
4) Unmarried women accompanied by a male relative

"We need our women to have morality so foreigners cannot leer at them. The Mississippian woman is intended for the Mississippian man. We have an alarmingly high rate (1.6%) of noble women marrying foreign men rather than their brothers or male cousins, this cannot be allowed to continue if we wish to have the noble lines kept pure."

His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Falastur, would like to point out that a better and more moral way of ensuring those of other nations do not leer at your women would be to recommend to them that they do not commit incest for the sake of purity. If anything, that will really screw your womens' reputations over.

Fred Redwick, president of Littlecity, was drinking his morning coffee and reading his morning paper. His eyes landed on the headline "WOMEN'S DRESS CODE IN MISSISSIPPI"

"What the..."

He yelled for the Chief Commander, who was sitting outside playing with his plastic toy soldiers.

"HEY CHIEF COMMANDER! I wanna start a war against Mississippi!"

The chief comander came in.

"Uh...what for, Mr. President?"

The president pointed to the headline.

"This!"

"Uh...I don't think a new dresscode is a good reason to start a war, Mr. President."

"No?"

"No."

"Damn...there's never any interesting things happening here..."

"I know how you feel sir, I know how you feel..."

"The bible does not allow for women to be in swimming suits or to even swim... If women have so much time to swim, are we to assume their other duties in the home are completed beyond reproach? Should they not be tending their houses, cooking, cleaning, and keeping track of the children while their husband is at work? Women don't need to swim and few will have the time for it."

Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris in Mississippian Egypt has lauded the recent women’s dress code regulations.

(Cut to footage of the Sheik outside his mosque)

“It is a great day for morality and for the ideals of the Koran that Mississippi authorities have decided whoredom and Zionist perversion of women, all women, Muslim and infidel, must come to an end. The great prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him, dictated a code of what the woman could do and what the woman could not do. Women cannot drive in cars, for they are the modern equivalent of the horse and camel, which women were forbidden to ride, we hope that Mississippi may regulate women’s movement in automobiles, but we don’t see that happening. However we are grateful that Mississippian authorities have decided modesty must be enforced.

"The infidel Zionists and their Western allies, they have sent a large group of Jewish and other women to Muslim countries in order to spread abomination. Yes, they have spread abomination, using all means. They have even sent many of their women to commit abomination acts in the Muslim countries. They started to succeed by establishing associations and organizations run by Muslims with the support of the infidel West, under slogans of women's rights. Their "women's rights" means that women leave their house naked..."

"But today, Mississippi takes steps to stop the spread of zionist corruption of our women and our youth, Allah Ackbar!”

(Six hundred Muslim men outside the mosque fire their AKM rifles into the air, chanting “Allah Ackbar!” several times and then “Hail Fabus!”)

"This is Joseph Mladic of the White Peoples Radio and Television Network. Czar Roger Fabus has announced that Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris of Mississippian Egypt will be given the rank of Field Marshal of the "Muslim Liberation Army", a faction of warriors that will fight for muslims anywhere and everywhere. They will be based out of Mississippian Egypt and equipped with retired Federal and Commonwealth Equipment. They will number approximately forty divisions and be drawn from the native arab Egyptian population."

(Cut to footage of Sheik Mudeiris in Jackson City shaking hands with Roger Fabus)

Roger smiles before he speaks, "Today is a great day as the two great forces, the Jihaders and the Crusaders, stand united in a common struggle against zionist tyranny and abominations from satan and the jewish nations."'

Sheik Mudeiris raises a fist in the air, "Israel must be wiped off the face of the Earth for the sake of the oppressed muslim brothers in West Bank, and Gaza, and all the rest. Death to Israel, the Great Satan! England must be destroyed, as must France, for they back Israel, the nation of parasitic vermin... We will avenge the Muslims who were massacred in 1948, and 1967, and 1973, and 1981, and 1990, and all the other years, we will avenge them all. Allah Ackbar! Hail Fabus!"

Crucian was relaxing in his private hot tub, getting a massage from his girlfriend (not yet married) when a man in a buisness suit walked in, adverting his eyes from her "private areas".

"What do you want Johnson?" Crucian asked, slightly angry.

"This, sir." Johnson replied, handing him a report, entitled "WOMANS DRESS CODE".

Crucian looked over it quickly. "...You have got to be kidding me..."

Looking up, he spoke again. "Johnson, please pass me my suitcase."

"Yes sir."

"Thank you." Crucian replied, and began banging his head against it.

From the Desk of the Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Avadrian government recognizes Mississippi's State Dress Code and their ability to enforce it within their own borders. However I personally believe that the summary of the law was vauge in how foreigners are supposed to dress, as you said it was so that the bodies of Mississippian women would remain sacred for Mississippian men or something of the sort. Either way we are curious on whether this law applies to foreigners or not.

[Iuthian Press Conference, Iuthia Prima]

It is coming to the end of the Press Conference at Iuthia's public relations head quarters and Ambassador Katarina Tzing had answered the questions in her normal calm and clear voice, commonly found in diplomats from the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps.

After this conference she would be returning to Decisive Action to continue her work as an ambassador of their nation... she was content so far and her comments had more or less been those of improving relations, though it had to be said that it is easy to improve on relations which didn't exist previously. She hasn't condemned them, it wasn't her job, so she hadn't said anything offencive to the news crews...

She wasn't really sure if this conference would even reach their nation, but it had to be assumed that someone would be watching it in anycase. She stuck an old IDC quote: "The Iuthian Diplomatic Corps tell no casual lies. Truth serves us better."

Now just as they were wrapping up the conference, a young eager reporter raised his hand when she asked for the final time "Any last questions?"

The reported asked: "What is your personal stance on the latest change in DA Law regarding a female dress code for their citizens?"

She was taken a little surprised at the mans questioning of her own opinion and not that of her governments, which had already been noted in previous statements by the IDC. She answered simply:

"While I enjoy the freedom we are given here in Iuthia to chose to wear cloths or not, I understand that Decisive Action's laws are laws born from their culture and their populaces desire for decency in their women. As such I respect their cultural difference and embrace it during my stay in their nation, even though I am exempt from the law. I would be foolish to fluant that right in their nation and who am I to question their moral laws? Respect is important in my line of work and quite frankly I respect their wishes.

"Thankyou, that is all."

With that she gave a slight nod to the press and then walked out of the room, stage left, to make her way to the airport to return to Decisive Action to continue her job.
