IC: On the orders of President John Howard Taft, the Republic of Metslandia outlawed the following religions:
Atheist
Wiccan
Confucism
Shinto
Agnostic

The following religions are being debated. Odds of being outlawed are next to the religion:
Buddhist(10:1)
Hindu(10:1)
Islam(50:1)

Metslandia is and will remain a Judeo-Christian state. We will not change these laws. We will not submit to International pressure.

OOC((Don't kill me for misspelling religions. Just point it out nicely. Thanks.))

OOC: Atheism or however you spell it is not a religion.

((It's still a belief and its outlawed.))

The government of Red Wales would like to know what you plan to do with anyone in your nation that refuses to submit to your oppression? We are willing to take some of those who want to practice there religion in peace and without government interference.

We appauld you.
-Cardinal DeVito

Red Wales, take any and all who refuse to follow this law. Any arrested will be sent to you immediately.

We believe you have the right to treat your citizens however you wish, and you may enforce your own laws.

The Emperor would be greatly appreciative if they were handed over to us, and is willing to pay $200.00 per head. They could be utilized for house-hold slaves, which we have been lacking lately, and fighters in gladiatorial games.

On a side note he approves of your promotion of the Christian religion.

We condemn! Freedom of religion! Basic rights! Liberty! Freedom of choice! You flushed those down the toilet!

People of every religion who wish to escpae the oppression are welcome in Greenmanbry.

Hanamachi will take those who refuse to follow as well.


((OOC: you forgot taoism :) ))

Once again, the Emperor is willing to pay $200.00 a head for those not wanted in your nation - they can be put to good "use" here.

Atheism isn't a religion... it's the complete opposite of religion.

((OOC: actually, agnostic is the opposite of religion, i think. someone correct me if i'm wrong))

((OOC: actually, agnostic is the opposite of religion, i think. someone correct me if i'm wrong))

OOC: It's not a religion, yes.

Notquiteaplace will take all unwanted members of these religeons. Especially as they have less of a violent history than many others as these dont

OOC: Can I put £25 on buddhism?

Metslandian citizens are welcome in Procco.

ViZion, too, is willing to accept any people of whom you find who hold a belief that you have outlawed.

We are glad to see your nation is sensible enough to allow these people to exit your nation into others, instead of killing or torturing them.

Wire to:Metslandia
From: Parliament of Kazaki

Kazaki would be willing to purchase around 100,000 of these people if you are expelling them from your country. We could use a few extra people to use as servants and other miscellaneous uses.
--------------------------------------------
End Wire

OOC: I think he means to outlaw beliefs and religions. It makes more sense than arguing what is a religion and what isn't. If you catch my meaning

Kazaki, 100,000 were shipped. 100 U.S. dollars each.

All remaining people who peacefully obeyed were sent to a Metslanian island west of the nation. You can pick any up there. All violent proesters will be shot on the spot.

10,000,000 wired to Metslandia.

OOC: Wow it feels weird to be back in this game again. Finally got my nation back!! Woohoo

I just noticed you forgot Satanism. ;)

Satanism is added. Islam, Buddhist, and Hindu are legal.

The violent rebels were lined up on a firing range and shot 1 by 1. All others are waiting on the island for any given nation at any given time to get them.

The Empire of Fate and Honor has sent a large fleet of cargo-ships to pick up 150,000 of the scum. $30,000,000.00 Imperial Dollars have been wired to your nation ($200.00/person). Thankyou for your fair dealings. Many a great celebratory gladiator tournaments will be thanks to your your great nation Metslandia!

At this time, several Tiamat Taveril ships are picking up those on the island. We will be taking as many as we can, up to 200,000. Beyond that, their hope lies with others.

Know that the clans have heard of your immoral actions against our faith brothers. We would be very grateful if you stopped at once the outlawing of religions.

You can take the refugees, Samuri Clanlords, but we will, however, NOT repeal the law. Our fleet is mobilized, as is our air force in preperation for a threat.

ViZion urges any nations considering any military actions to realize that they are allowing these people to leave the country without incident. Let Metslandia be. Even though we disagree with their banning of many beliefs, ViZion will defend Metslandia if any military action is taken against them, as they are not killing off anyone who has a belief they have banned, but rather, letting them leave the country.

If we do not allow nations like Metslandia to allow their people to leave, then we are only setting up the stage for mass genocide. Again, let Metslandia be, as they are not killing off/committing genocide against people who hold a banned belief.

Thank you, imported ViZion. We did, however, kill any who violenly protested or rebelled.

No problem. We did see that, and though we feel you should have send them through a trial first, we respect your sovereign rights to deal with violent people.

(OOC: Just FYI, it's actually suppose to be just "ViZion" but when they changed forum servers, it added "imported_" to my name in the forums... no one knows why... don't worry, many ppl make that mistake...)

If the last 300,000 are not taked off the island, they will be forcibly deported.

ViZion will pick those 300,000 people up.

How many Zoroastrians are there in your nation and what is the chance you are going to ban that faith?

What is a Zoroastrian? If it's not Judeo-Christian, Islamic, Hindu, or Buddhist, it's outlawed. Pick em up.

OOC: http://tenets.zoroastrianism.com/

Zoroastrianism is the ancient Pre-Islamic religion of Iran practiced by about 150,000 indviduals worldwide.
It is the official religion of my nation (in NS)

IC: How many are in your nation?
