"This is Joseph Mladic of the White Peoples Radio and Television Network. The Czar, Roger Fabus, has announced that in conjunction with the Patriarch of Jackson City, and other Orthodox clergy and officials, he will begin widespread religious reforms. These will include, but are not limited to the following."
"One: The requirement that all males above sixteen years of age grow and maintain a beard, this will prove Christian piety."
"Two: The complete and total ban on women driving automobiles, or riding horses, donkies, or other beasts that may cause their bodies to shake... Women may still be in vehicles, but only if driven by a male relatives, or employee of a male relative, or somebody given permission by a male relative to drive them."
"Three: Music, except for Country, Classical, and Christian Gospel music, will be totally and completely banned. There are no exceptions."
"Four: Kite flying will be banned, it as at best a distraction from a child's duties to God, his nation, his family, and his people, and at worst it is a blasphemous attempt to reach closer to the heavens, something not meant for man to reach in this life."
"Five: Dancing of all sorts, except for square dancing and European ballroom style dancing, is hereby banned, there are no exceptions."
"Six: Games of chance are hereby banned."
"Seven: Nothing that comes from an animal may be served at all during Lent. This includes milk, cheese, and any poultry, beef, or pork products. Fish will be provided at a government subsidized price during Lent."
"Eight: The teaching of Evolution has hereby been declared a capital offense."
"Nine: Any who teach anything involving the Earth or History, that attempts to counter the Earth being six thousand years old, and the accepted fact of Creation having begun on Sunday the 23rd of October in the year 4004 BC."
"That is all for now, stay tuned for more."

I hereby congratulate Decisive Action on its decision to make more religious reforms. Most of these laws (With exception to the music and beards. Kite flying is banned, to a degree. But it is alright for anyone under the age of 10. Since ten is considered the official coming of age.) are inforced strictly in the Fascist Confederacy.

Ooc- Our weapons scientists, and medical scientists are basically given free reign to do what they want... We only keep people from publishing science books that support evolution, and non-creation ideas. We basically let any science move along if the end result is a stronger regime and better armed forces, economy, or industrial infrastructure.

OOC: Ok, thats what I wanted to hear, we use similar system, just not so fanatically, we just use generally poor education for drones (lowest workers) and scientists and R&D people get the best.

Official statement signed by King Haakon IX and all members of Parliament, including Prime Minister Anne Eriksen:
"We find this recent turn of events in the country of Decisive Action to be most distressing. We find that religious extremism, when touted by those in power, often leads to oppression. We are no strangers to the dangers of such government sponsored religious fanatacism, indeed, the massacres in Altar Rang taught us much. We do not think that this is the right direction for Mississippians. Their piety should be their own choice, not their government's. Placing such repressive restrictions on women borders on the insane, and is reminiscent of many Islamic fundamentalist governments. We find it frightening that the government of a supposedly civilized nation would even consider going back to the barbarism of thousands of years ago.
It has come to our attention that many have been circulating rumors of impending war between the above mentioned nation and Callisdrun. Despite our distaste of the new policies in Mississippi, these rumors are utterly false. War is not being considered, as this is a domestic issue for the Mississippians. We are not even going to impose sanctions or any such thing. However, we do warn Callisdrunians, especially women, that travelling in that country may be hazardous. Men could probably pass as beards are a common style for Callisdrunian males, though we would still not advise going there. We would also like to impress upon Mississippians considering or planning travel to Callisdrun that what is an acceptable way to treat someone in Mississippi, whether the person in question be male or female or any race or creed, may not be an acceptable way to treat someone in Callisdrun, and in some instances, could even be against the law.
We hope that Czar will reconsider these rash policies and steer a more moderate course."
Dear Czar I pray in the name of our lord Jesus that you reconsider the treatment of your people i know that you are a christian man and we all have our views of the bible and it is our duty as leaders of christian countrys that we guide our people in the way of the lord the people of Olenya are prepaired to offer any needs that you and your country may need
Thank you and may god keep you

Does this mean that Decisive Action is banning all forms of aviation within its borders? Are commercial airline flights "a blasphemous attempt to reach closer to the heavens?" Is Decisive Action willing to give up any air force it may possess to prove that it is being consistent in its belief that reaching closer to the heavens is "something not meant for man to reach in this life?"
There have been rumblings within our Christian populations that the government of Decisive Action is acting like, dare we say, the Pharisees of old. We would appreciate some clarification.

JRV Government Press Statement
"The Republic of JRV considers the reforms being under taken by DA to be entirely unnecessary, though it believes this particular one to be exceptionally ridiculous. The Christian religion and science are entirely able to work together in a truly modern world - - the Bible makes no mention of how old the Earth is and evolution is but an observation of the Earth's natural history which in itself does not dispute the existence of a great creator nor the validity of Christianity. It is the opinion of this government that DA is completely and utterly insane..."

We concur with JRV's statement on the insanity of the governing powers of Decisive Action.
We would also like to add that we will be opening our borders to those who wish to flee from your lunatic restrictions. While we have already opened our borders to those wishing to escape your draconian thought control experiments, we will broaden our asylum policies to accept any sane refugee from Decisive Action. We expect to benefit greatly from the 'brain drain' that seems all but imminent.

Ooc- Since 1984-2004, under the Curtis regime, everybody in DA was indoctrinated (either willingly or otherwise) into the cult of personality around the leader. And as such, we today have a 100% loyal citizenry, or close to it. We still have a few isolated guerilla bands roaming the swamps and such, that are hard to get at, but we've spent 100s of billion and 20 years to carefully weed out disloyal people, and today we feel we can honestly make the claim of if not 100% loyalty, then perhaps "Most loyal citizenry" in the world. Basically we set out to build a nazi-style police state, and the people living here now, (many are foreign whites) are here because they like what we offer. We've already had dozens of mass deportations in the mid and late 80s, over 100 million who didn't like it, left or were deported. There were also the genocides against non-whites and regime enemies throughout the 80s, 90s, and into the last years of the previous (Curtis) regime...But Roger (Current leader) stopped all gulags, camps, "re-education" and such.

OOC: So are your citizens indoctrinated to be loyal to the ruler or loyal to the state? The two are seperable. What if the ruler was caught selling nuclear technology to an enemy who used it against DA the next week? If your indoctrination programs focus solely on loyalty to the current leader, there would be problems when he dies...it would seem to me that succession of rulers might present some problems in a "cult of personality around the leader."

Mainly to be loyal to the Fabus family, they are the ruling family. That is why loyalty transfered so well from Curtis (to his son, Roger) when he retired and Roger took over.
If we must continue this discussion, please let us do it over IM or through TG... The clutter here is too much! Argh!! (Anyway, I'm going to sleep shortly)
