Across the Duman Empire, mass protests against the current government have been ravaging streets & overwhelming police. In response to this growing problem, the new Emperor, Damian Duman, has made his first action as Emperor by creating what he is calling the “Don’t Like It? Too Bad!” Act.

Emperor Damian claims that this act is just part of his plan for change in the Duman Empire. “These protests pose a great threat,” he says. “and I plan on cracking down the organizers of these protests, those who participate in them, and anyone who is bold enough to stand up against my government.”

The “Don’t Like It? Too Bad!” Act states the following:

Protests:
Any individual, citizen or non-citizen of any of the four nations of the Duman Empire, caught participating in a protest against the government, any government official, or any action of the government, will be subject to prosecution by a federal judge of the nation in which they were caught protesting in, and if found guilty, the individual will face the penalty of 5 years in prison, for every protest they participated in.

Any individual, citizen or non-citizen of any of the four nations of the Duman Empire, accused of organizing or leading a protest against the government, any government official, or any action of the government, will be subject to prosecution directly by the Emperor, and if found guilty, they will face the penalty of death by public beheading

Death Threats:
Any individual, citizen of non-citizen of any of the four nations of the Duman Empire, accused of making a death threat against the Emperor or any other government official, will be subject to prosecution by a judge, and if found guilty, will face the penalty of death by lethal injection.


Public Remarks of Criticism

Any individual, citizen or non-citizen of any of the four nations of the Duman Empire, who makes public remarks of criticism towards the government, any government official, or any action of the government, will be subject to prosecution by a judge of the region in which the remark was made, and if found guilty, will face the penalty of 1-5 years in prison or death by lethal injection, depending on the severity of the remark, which will be decided by the judge.

"So technically... They're not a Nation, correct?"

"Seems so."

"So technically... They have no soveriegnty to speak of, right?"

"Mmmhmm."

"And no one would care if we sort of... Blew up a biker Gang, yes?"

"...Maybe Don'tPissUsOff. Ya' never know."

"I'll draw up the papers then!"


To The Arctic Badlands:

This is barbaric and evil and should not be carried out.

[u]Death Threats:
Any individual, citizen of non-citizen of any of the four nations of the Duman Empire, accused of making a death threat against the Emperor or any other government official, will be subject to prosecution by a judge, and if found guilty, will face the penalty of death by lethal injection. Procco is highly against the death penalty, and we advise you to reconsider this.

Procco,

Regardless of whether you consider our choices of punishment "barbaric" or "evil", they will not be changed. We are going to do what we see fit to put an end to the mass-protests ravaging the streets of my Empire. I am not willing to give into international pressure.

Sincerely,
Emperor Damian Duman

Would you give in to international pressure if it rolled down your streets and shot you through the head?

OOC: Not actually gonna do anything, probably, 'cos that can get annoying for all; but the reaction will be interesting.

Well, I couldn't do anything if I was shot in the head, now could I?

A small group had gathered around The Water Cooler. Tacked above it was a memo about this whole, "Don't Like it, Too Bad!" thing. A few Aides sipped their Purified water in their Paper cups, others chatting idly about a splendid little Invasion of sorts.

"Did they have a choice?"

"No, not really."

"Oh, so we're going to "Liberate" them, then?"

"Might be. The Gee See is in a Conference right now."
