TNN BROADCASTING STATION, TAGISTEAD




"Greetings everyone this Maria Stewien with the 8:00 news." Began the pretty young female anchor "Our biggest story today is about the arrest of local author Karl Hentermaan over the release of his new book, Communism. Princess Mary, sister of the King and head of the Public Instruction District (OOC: District means Department in Tagio) released a statement earlier today stating that: 'The book Communism is a treachous piece of Bolshivek garbage ment to mastermind the overthrow of my brother! In addition such garbage also pollutes the minds of our young ones, with such reading material as this what can possibly come out of our next generation but the ultimate treason: revolution!' Later the Princess stated she shall soon begin a campaign to purge Tagio of all dissadents stating that: 'Most of you remember the rise to power of the Facists and all the havoc they heaped on us. Well I shall never let such things happen again so I am going to nip this possible Communist problem in the bud!' In other news a police showdown with a former..........

The Emperial Goverment of the Alexian Empire congradulates the Tangian monarchy for its decisive action.

Ooc: Bump.....

Though it is your soverign right to govern as you see fit, it is prehaps counter productive in terms of world stability if you 'purge' those deemed subversive. We will gladly take any refugees of any political conviction who wish to have sanctity within our borders.

Ninjaustralia will gladly sodomise this commie with the thick end of a rake.

Momanguise would gladly fry Ninjaustralia in a giant omelette, but there you go.

Ninjaustralia declares war on Momanguise for supporting sodomite communists.

You Rightists are really getting on my nerves. What is it with you? Afraid that people might see that all the crap you spew is just that? Worried that they'll take away your petty personal empires? You're going the short way to being splatted, and I don't just mean you, I mean the Right Wing full stop. Christ, when was the last time you say the Left ban an author or his book? When did you last notice wholesale purges of people who had done nothing but hold an opinion in a Left-wing nation? Do you think that because we tolerate views other than ours we're somehow going to just sit there and let people like you continually get away with this?

Watch it, mate. You're treading a very thin line, and so are the rest of the Right.

Ninjaustralia declares war on Momanguise for supporting sodomite communists.

Official Statement

Erm...bring it on. We could do with a laugh.

ooc: LOL

Tagio Diplomatic Corps


Alexias: Thank you for your support.

Momanguise: The Princess deems such a move as inviting trouble.

Ninjaustralia: Mr. Hentermaan will executed by firing squad later today, so no thanks.

DPUO: We are just ensuring the stability of the state, nothing more.

More official statement

Ninjaustralia cannot understand why moronic nations can't take jokes. It has just passed a 'chill out' bill through parliment and demands that people shutup.

OOC: Is it OOCly alright, Tagio, if some of my special forces bust in and fly this guy to safety?

ooc: Did it look like I was being serious? :)

OOC: I will have to think about it Kanabia, we should discuss this over TG.

Offical statement of the Imperial Goverment of Maransune


"We appluad the efforts of Tagio's Princess Mary to purge the communist threat. We in Maransune know all to well the evils of Communism and we are happy to see action such as this."

OOC: OK Tagio. I'll think of a plan.

Tagio, it would not be a good idea to go on with these so-called "Purges". Not only would you lose favor with the international community, it would increase the chances of a revolution instead of decreasing it. You would be better off deporting the communists to a nation that shares their values instead of committing a small genocide.

We can offer to be said nation.

There you go Tagio; you have an opportunity to end this mess without bloodshed. Now the question is, will you take advantage of the offer, or will other Nations have to do it for you?

Offical Statement of King Erik


"We the soverigen King of Tagio do hereby wish to tell the nations of the world our answer to thier pleas. We do not think that deportation is good idea, The Tsar of Russia deported Lenin and he came back to overthrow the Tsar some time later. We shall not repeat the mistake of the Romanovs, we shall kill off the communists here and now, by everything in our power we shall not let the communists a chance. Thank you for your time."

*sigh*

You present an interesting point, however, bear in mind that this person has done no wrong, but write a book. In Kanabia, this man will simply write more books, and you can censor or ban them, that isn't really our concern. By doing this, you're actually causing more problems than you realise...you're making a matyr. While that might help our cause out, we'd rather this man lef alive. Please.

Offical Statement of King Erik



"We understand what you are saying but in Tagio we have a long history of book writing turning into revolution, that is how the Fascists came to power. We shall not repeat the mistakes of the old Republic, we are stronger and we shall stop the revolution before it happens."

Why forcefully stop it? Why not address the peoples concerns? There is surely something causing their dissent.

In the Government Building in Darkana, the Capital City of the Country of Darkana:

We see a small, meek man standing in very large, dark room. Before him is a huge throne, we cannot who is sitting in it through the darkness.

The man speaks. “Sir, the country of Tagio won’t call off the “Purging” of the Communists.”

A large, ominous, almost inhuman voice replies from the throne. “This is displeasing; send a communication to our military leaders and have them mobilize The Black Death Squad, then tell them to look for insertion points and military targets in Tagio. I will give the country a little more time to come around, if they do not, I will send the Squad in to attack targets.”

The man nods. “Yes, sir.” Then he leaves room.

Offical Statement of King Erik



"The people's concerns are treasonous to the stability of the state as our dear sister put it. They demand Bolshivek sounding reforms to everything, the book was just the beginning of a road that will lead to the death of the monarchy. We shall not let that happen, we shall succeded were the old Republic failed, we shall quash all threats to our authority before they become armed rebellions. We shall not bow to the common masses, our reign will not become the weakest link in the dynasty, we shall not order the purges to stop."


((OOC: How I am doing in pertraying Erik as a 'insecure' monarch?))

Ooc: Bump.......

Official Statement

Kinda.....

Ghettofabulous.

We will attempt to raise enough cash to bail out the author and ship him into RK where he will not threaten your nation further.
