KN Telegraph - In a widely-expected move, Parliament voted in favour (591-25) of rendering membership of any Far Right Wing organisation illegal, subject to a minimum sentence of 8 months in prison and a maximum sentence of being detained at the Government's pleasure. A governmental spokesman told reporters that this was necessary as a result of the increasing tensions with various RWC and ex-RWC nations. Liberal groups have been divided on the issue, with some protesting and others praising the decision, and there have been several vocal pleas for the law to be repealed.

Members of Far Right Wing parties staged a protest rally in New Manchester following the ruling. Subsequently, all 12,100 were arrested and immediately charged with membership of an organisation contrary to the interests of the people and sentenced to life imprisonment in harsh regime labour camps...

"The process is going smoothly, then?" Marcus Jones sat in front of the burning log fire, a satisfied smile on his face as he stared into the dancing flames, a glass of Scotch in one hand.

"So far, yes. There has been some resistance, but...not too much. Not more than we have already seen." The Interior Minister's eyes glinted with reflected fire.

"They're getting what they deserve," snarled Jones.

"I've been hearing reports of armed attacks on Enforcers. The nets are closing in, and the enemy are becoming desperate."

"Of course," replied Jones, smiling still further. "They can see death coming for them, and the sound they make rattling their cages will serve to draw in the rest."

"I hope you're right. This will cause hell for us when it gets out, with the enemy all around us."

"Ha!" Jones backed a laugh. "A load of Hitlerite fools trying to take the world for their own. The world, Jenny, left them behind in nineteen forty-five. WE are the inheritors!"

"We have other things to consider."

"Smith?"

"He formed a group after the first crackdown. We have someone in place, however. I'm more worried about McCarthy - he's gone, and we have only a vague idea where he is." She scratched her short, attractive nose contemplatively.

"Our tracking and identification is far, far better than theirs. And their unwillingness to compromise on their inane donctrines has allowed us to exploit their rigidity. Soon, they will break, like steel in the ice of Siberia, and we, WE shall be free. We shall be the undisputed kings."

"Better than Kings," commented Jenny. She turned to him. "We will be Gods."

The Kingdom of San Lucia is apalled by your nations decision and belives it is a compromise to your people's rights.

Otto von Hinderriech
Minister of Foriegn Affiars
San Lucia

Sir,
We do not for one moment deny that it is a removal of the rights of certain individuals. However, those individuals have throughout history been nothing more than a counterweight, a slowing influence on the development of the human race, and a dangerous, murderous aberration. Nazism alone cost the lives, when all is said and done, of at least 40 million human beings in World War 2 alone. Over 10 million died in our own Liberation War against Fascism, another 5 million in the Civil War which followed.

Our nation and our people have too long been afraid to deal with the Nazis and Fascists in our own nation. No more. We are embarking on a new course, that will see our nation avenge the millions of lives ended by the Far Right Wing.

Yours,
Foreign Minister Anton Schützer.

Statement issued by President Carpenter of the United Socialist States of PIcaRDMPCia:
I find this action completely appauling. While my country is mostly devoid of right-winged political organizations, we would never enact such a law. I am immediately imposing trade sanctions on your country and freezing any and all assets you have in my nation until this is repealed. Subsequent actions taken against your people like this will result in a declaration of war.

Again, we must confess that we are indeed infringing upon people's rights. However, Nazism and Fascism have, as I have said, poisoned our country and our people too long, far too long. Note that we do not make it illegal to hold a Far Right belief, or to express that belief. We merely make it illegal for people to join any Far Right organisation. Those who enforce the law, the Enforcer Corps, are under the law of the land as much as the Nazis who they seek to prevent committing murder, which they have done on many occasions in the past.

We congratulate your move, and are sending a mug of comradely beer in the top half of a fascist skull.

A statement was quickly issued by Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Berner:

People of the international community, said Berner in the statement given from the Durnhost Foreign Secretariat, The Protectorate of Durnhost finds this violation of rights unacceptable to the international community. It was only a few years back in which the same ideals caused a civil war within this great nation, claiming tens of millions of lives of former Ansteorra. Though war is radical as threatened by President Carpenter, sanctions, trade embargoes, and blockades will be instated should this issue not come to a peaceful resolution. This infringement upon political bias treads upon the legal constitution of genocide, and Durnhost will go to any end to prevent genocide from occuring within this world.

In another written statement, Durnhost asked that the political prisoners be immediately released under international law concerning genocide.

(So good to be back after so long.)

Official Imperial Response:

Are you trying to say that all right wing people are fascists or nazis? This is absurds and can not be excused. If our nation was not full of intelligent people, and thusly no left-wing people, we would do the opposite to spite you.

And it has been the left-wing holding the world down. TIme after time they halt the world to try an attempt at a previous idead merely twisted a slight bit that has already failed. Left wing people try to use failed ideas over and over again and thus hold back the world as right wing minds challenge where the end are thought. Right wing minds bring about technology that helps save the lives of million, right wing minds are the minds that have brought humanity to where we are today.

OOC: Remember, they're not actually being killed or anything, not yet. And in all honesty, for the moment they won't be - it's too much work to type it all out.

IC: We say nothing of the kind. We have a healthy Right opposition in our country and a healthy mixture of Left and Right policy and views in government. Indeed, our Left-wing stance has been becoming less pronounced of late, and we are now a largely centrist nation. Indeed, during the last election, the Right-wing PCP (People's Choice Party) gained 37.8% of the vote, and was the second largest minority. (OOC: I use the British system minus a Monarch. For now anyway - I may re-instate a monarchy to have the letters "HMS" on my ships :D ) The Parliament is composed of Left, Right, and Centre MPs. All but 25 of them approved this resolution, which was in debate in both Houses for three years before being passed this day. Furthermore, the main spur to this was the necessity of preventing subversive actions in our seemingly inevitable conflict with various RWC and ex-RWC nations.

Mr. Berner:

I would direct you to my above statement, but add that we too know the horror that Nazism can inflict upon a nation. We fought a five-year war and suffered another 4 years of civil war before our nation finally recovered from near-death at the hands of Nazis and Fascists. It is this memory which, quite probably, motivated so many candidates to approve this action.

OOC: Genocide isn't just killing. Mass arrests or deportations are also genocide! I found that interesting, but I just looked it up today, in fact. :)

The Kingdom of San Lucia is willing to stand behind this action if you dont repeal this hainous law against your people.

Erwin Richtover
Minister of Defense
San Lucia

The Grand Ideocracy of Momanguise is ready to stand against those that would harm our ally, DPUO.

"The enemy masses," Jones hissed.

"And so soon, too. They do not know of what must be done."

"No, friend, they do not." Jones sighed. "Why do they not see, that we must destroy those who would obliterate sixty centuries of civilisation?"

"They do not want to see it." Her eyes were lifeless as she stared still into the fire, remembering the camp the Fascists had held her in, the freezing ground, the loading of the stick-like corpses, the burnings. Ash falling from chimneys, countless rapes, beatings, shootings. Auschwitz reborn. She fingered the patch of skin where the white rose had been burned into her forearm. "They are blind."

"Yes. And we cannot make them see, can we?"

"No, we cannot. But we can keep our people safe from their depravity. For now."

Statement issued by President Carpenter:
I will be watching this issue over the course of the next two days. If in two days you have not repealed this criminal act, then you will be faced with war. And I assure you, you will not win that war either.

I can only but applaud DPUO's actions. Fascism is a great evil indeed, one that almost destroyed our home. Good for you.

-Prime Minister Colin Graves

As the days pass in this obviously incredible standoff between the two parties, the Foreign Secretariat of Durnhost is busily working. Meanwhile, parlement was reported to have entered heavy proceedings about the definition of genocide to present to the United Nations.

Though the air force of Durnhost was in tatters, it's army had nearly completely rebuilt and it's navy was left largely unmolested during the War for Ansteorra. It was this navy that was now on high alert as threats of war were exchanged back and forth - Durnhost wouldn't attack DPUO, but it would definitely attempt to keep the peace should war be declared.

In the Third Council of Durnhost, meanwhile, legislation allowing peacekeeping action was permitted, and several trade restrictions were placed into effect. And, as a final act, the embassies within DPUO and neighboring states were evacuated.

Berner in the following days issued another statement:

DPUO, the Foreign Secretariat would again like to remind your country that genocide is being committed in this action, and, noting that you are a United Nations delegate, demands that these actions are reversed immediately. However, should war be declared frivolously, the Protectorate of Durnhost will quickly move to resolve the matter at hand by any means necessary and prevent unnecessary loss of life from occuring.

youve been playing way to much dues Ex (that sounds like the intro of that game) anyway TAG

youve been playing way to much dues Ex (that sounds like the intro of that game) anyway TAG

Aye, I know, I can't help it! I CAN'T!!! *Sobs*. Anyway, yeah, it is, altered appropriately. I even have the intro music playing! :D

Political commentators in Walmington on Sea have indicated the probability of widespread economic consequences for warmongering states threatening military action against the independent nation of DPUO based on that nation's own internal democratic decisions. Many public figures have implied that civilised democracies across the world would be best served to join in reaction against such jingos as would use deadly force to meddle in the affairs of free peoples.

Great Walmington has not given any official response to the DPUO decision, seeing, in DPM Wilson's words, "...absolutely no reason for us, or anybody else, to get involved, really."

While we might have not fought you if a war did break out, now we will after what you have done. In case you are not aware we are a member of the RWC and will protect its members and feel obliged (sp?) to protect ex-RWC members. I side with Durnhost, please repeal these acts. This is genocide, maybe not the commonly depicted ideal but genocide none the less. As a UN member you are subject to the ridiculous and absurd ideals they impose. Genocide is not allowed and the UN woudl not be happy to hear.

((OOC: I know there is nothing the UN can do if you RP disobeying it but im threatening you with the RP UN.))

Official Response from Red Tide
"We will support any military action against the Rogue Nation of DPUO. We would suffer no long term(and little short term) economic consequences if we get involved. Our nations economy is completely self sufficient."

OOC: Someone really ought to set up an RP UN. It'd be so useful...anyways. Just a quick OOC note: I refer to the AMF/NATO/whatever alliance is also on AMF's side versus RWC and ex-RWC war.

OOC: Definetly, there laws dont apply at all. SOme mod should be in charge so they could actually boot people from the UN. And Im on the RWC so Im facing that AMF/NATO/NWO alliance.

As threats of war continue to fly, the Third Council enters emergency deliberations over the national holiday, while parlement finally clears peacekeeping action.

A sleep deprived Foreign Secretary John Berner appeared before the people of Durnhost, televised to nations across the world.

People of the world, national leaders.

I am Foreign Secretary John Berner, joined by Secretary of State Alice Kruen. War..is not the issue at hand. It is a far more serious issue than to simply give a declaration and begin sending troops. Genocide is indeed a crime against humanity- and the Protectorate of Durnhost again issues a formal condemnation against the DPUO Republic and demands that political prisoners be released immediately.

Should these demands not be met, all trade will stop between Durnhost and DPUO. All arms shipments that are sent by sea will be stopped by the Durnost Guardian Navy.

However, should countries declare war against the DPUO, peacekeeping action will immediately be taken. The details of such have been worked out by Secretary Kruen.

Berner stepped aside, to let the woman in - she was obviously sleep deprived, as well.

Thank you Secretary Berner.

Durnhost will not tolerate foolish acts of war against nation-states violating international peace accords. Thus, the Durnhost Guardian Navy is moving to blockade the sea in legal areas according to maritime law, to dissuade nations from declarations of war, and to prevent insurgents should war take place.

War is not the answer to this crisis. Our navy and army is fully ready to take up arms to resolve this conflict should both sides not be able to come to an agreement.

(I'd be willing to have an RPed UN. :)

Official Reply From Red Tide
"Would you be so kind as to tell us what international peace accords your talking about?"

OOC: If there is a suggestion place someone should suggest it...now lets stop hijacking the thread.

After hearing nations saying the DontPissUsOff is committing "genocide" by arresting people, President Maybury looked it up in his dictionary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Entry: geno·cide
Pronunciation: 'je-n&-"sId
Function: noun
: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, or cultural group
- geno·cid·al /"je-n&-'sI-d&l/ adjective
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"And they say he's committing genocide... ha!" he comments to noone.

Open Message Broadcast to all Governments
Hello, I am President Maybury of ViZion. Even though I may disagree with DontPissUsOff on this issue, he is NOT, I repeat, NOT committing genocide. Genocide is mass-murder, not arresting.

We warn everyone, do not attack DontPissUsOff. Arresting a group of people, and flat-out killing them are two completely different issues. Political and economic pressure may result in the former, which is what is going on, however, WAR? War should not insue over this, but rather diplomatic dealing.

Those who attack DontPissUsOff will recieve punishment from those who support him. He is completely against genocide, and I assure you, he will NOT commit it... he will NOT kill these people.

(I have a political dictionary in front of me. International definitions are far more important than Webster ones. Mass imprisonments and mass deportations, according to the Convention on Genocide, count as genocide.)

The Confederacy believes that the current polices enacted by the DPUO are rather heinous, but trade restrictions and/or war is not the solution to this problem. Instead the Confederacy of Lachenburg proposes the following agreement to be passed:

The DPUO would enact a policy, banning all extremist factions and/or political parties. However, the DPUO should not pursue the further acts of genocide against its own people and pay small sums of money to the families who lossed loved ones to the slaughter.

The nations inclined to war must realize that they have no business in dictating the internal affairs of another country. However, if the genocide continues, a multinational coalition would be enabled to blockade the DPUO's shores and prevent the nation from trading with the outside world.

The current nations are welcomed to make modifications to this current agreement, so that both parties are further disinclined to violence.

Maximilian von Hinterguard

In a rather sharp contrast to, ah, some of the other responses fired at DPUO's overwhelmingly approved parliamentary decision, we shall respond in the following manner:

First, to DPUO. Hello again, old friend, good to see you. We applaud your decision to finally rid yourselves of those pesky troublemakers that threaten your state. May DPUO long live and prosper!

Second, to those that would challenge this. First of all, you have no freaking business in DPUO. Their parliament overwhelmingly supported this decision, and to respond with anything more than passive distate is infringing on their sovereignty, pure and simple. Rest assured, we are generally not pleased when our allies' sovereignties are threatened.

In addition, DPUO is not inhibiting citizens' rights. Far Right Wing Parties have continuously caused problems and repeatedly shown a blatant disregard for DPUO law. Those who continuously cause problems and break the law, at least in our society, are known as criminals. I don't know about you guys, but we throw our criminals into jail. Not that there's anything wrong with letting them run as free as the naked prarie weeds, of course*, but, ah, who makes decisions for DPUO again? What was that? That's right, DPUO. Not you. Not the international community. Sorry, much as you'd like it to be otherwise, DPUO can make decisions for itself, thank you very much, and we ridicule those who feel so morally superior that they must make decisions for them.

Therefore be it known that you SHALL NOT threaten DPUO's sovereignty in any way, much less take actual action. Clear enough, I presume?

Please note that the (*) asteriked statement is absolutely dripping with sarcasm.


(I have a political dictionary in front of me. International definitions are far more important than Webster ones. Mass imprisonments and mass deportations, according to the Convention on Genocide, count as genocide.)

OOC:
Unfortunately, this is the NS world and not the real world, and there is no Geneva convention or whatever convention on genocide to refer to. Quite truly, Zoogiedom could care less what any dictionary has to say on genocide. Although a quasi-libertarian state, the interior intelligence agencies recently were dispatched to capture and deport 89 known members of a domestic terrorist sect. Call us genocidal, but this is what we do to known criminals.

Our thanks to our allies who have goiven their offers of support; we do hope the offers will not need to be called upon.

Bump

"How long is it since they took Dougall?" asked one of them, drawing his fat knees closer to his flabby gut.

"A night and a bit. They killed three of our men." His companion shivered in her ragged clothes and extended her hands toward the flames within the oil drum. "My hands...they're freezing."

"God is with us," replied her friend, through his shivers. "He will not let us down."

"No...he will not." She seemed to take solace from the statement, proven or not, and returned her gaze to the glowing metal before her. After some moments, she spoke again.

"When're the others arriving?"

"Soon. Yes, soon. God's children will always be drawn together, by his love and power. No heathen can change that, child." The fat one felt his old preaching manner flicker within his hollowed spirit. "The Lord is with us."

"Amen." They continued to stare into their dying source of warmth, their sole protection from the bitter wind howling through the long-empty warehouse's tattered rafters and broken panes. Somewhere in the building, wood creaked.

The woman, staring with sunken eyes at the small pouch in her wizened hand, closed her eyes in silent anguish. Then she tenderly began to unwrap the pouch. Within it, a small vial of crystal-clear fluid lay. Clumsily, she smashed the vial's neck on the rim of the drum, her shaking hands catching the red-hot metal. She cared not as she dripped the vital, live-giving, peace-brining fluid between her parched lips. Sated, she lay back against the crumbling platser of the wall, watching his dancing shadows on the opposite wall's peeling paper.

Without warning, the door shot from its hinges. A man clad only in a black suit burst through the space, filling the room with his terrible presence. Upon his shoulders were the four red stars and the hammer and sickle, topped by a severed head of Hitler, symbol of the State's elite Enforcers, the new corps designed to root out the Far Right, now and forewver, wherever they might be. The two looked into the Enforcer's soulless, blank eyes, and knew that they would soon see God.

So. The heathen comes.

The Enforcer regarded the two for a moment, face a blank, machinelike mask. Sudden hatred welled in the fat little man for this subhuman defender of Jewry, of the Reds and the Liberals, he who would see God's will forstalled. He raised his feeble frame and lunged at the Enforcer, knowing that death was upon him even before he heard the cracking snap of an AK-103. The fat man fell back against his wall, blood running from his mouth, babbling nonsensically, while the Enforcer watched the woman for a moment, then calmly raised his rifle and discharged a bullet into her head. He turned back to the fat preacher. The Preacher's mouth opened and he uttered a strangled squawk, finishing as the bullet entered his brain: "God is great!"

The Enforcer overturned the burning oil drum and departed, melting into the shadows.

Although we are a member of the RWC and mostly oppose left-wingish nations, we have come to make an exception for DPUO. Time and time again they have shown themselve sto be voice of reason in times of trouble.

We have no love for hiterlites, we are merely center-right not fascists. It is for this reason and the fact that DPUO has the authority to govern its own affairs that we support DPOU actions, and pledge our support should they need it.

A train bound for a Labour Camp, 01:20

The train rattled and rumbled through the pitch-dark night, twin stabbing headlight beams piercing through to the tracks a few metres ahead through the driving snow. The driver sat within his warm cockpit and took a sip of tea, checking his watch. Oh, it's time. Mustn't be late. He set up the auto-throttle to maintain a steady 50mph unless stopped by the nearest controller and headed back through the locomotive, past the rumbling, thundering air vents for the diesel engines, and back into the first (and only) carriage. He jerked his thumb outwards, watching as the guards nodded. This train was carrying people know to have collaborated our fought with the Fascists in the Liberation War, moving them to a high-security prison camp. However, the prisoners realised as the train slowed down that something was wrong. Fearful eyes met one another, searching for explanations and reasons. Some said prayers. Some hoped for freedom. Most just stood, sullenly, and waited.

The sides of the wagons, once used to carry bananas and other foods, were thrown open. Guards wielding AK-103s ordered the Nazis and Fascists out, barking orders in English and Russian, and lined them all up along the sides of the track, shivering in the freezing cold.

"Wait here," the lead guard shouted. The guards boarded the carriage. People began to talk among themselves to stave off thoughts of the cold slowly numbing them. It was this numbness that condemned them all to death.

It took the crowd a little while to notice that the train was moving. Slowly accelerating away into the gloom, slipping away from them, the long line of wagons gathered pace as the engines strained to haul them off. People ran after them, desperately grasping at the metal and wood, seeking to trade a later death for an imminent one; to no avail. The train sped off into the night, leaving more than 700 people alone in -15-degree temperatures. The dark, oppressive forests around them seemed to hulk over them. Panic began to spread through the group, panic intensified by the sudden appearance of a lumbering Mi-28N2 helicopter overhead, with two others in a delta formation. The helicopters roared back over the prisoners as they scattered into the forest, and birds took wing as the first rocket impacts rang out...

Sir,
We do not for one moment deny that it is a removal of the rights of certain individuals. However, those individuals have throughout history been nothing more than a counterweight, a slowing influence on the development of the human race, and a dangerous, murderous aberration. Nazism alone cost the lives, when all is said and done, of at least 40 million human beings in World War 2 alone.

The Kordo Government is appalled that most of your opinions of conservatives are based on the actions of extreme Right-Wing party members. While we respect your right to enforce your own laws, we wish to remind you that conservatives can play an important counterweight to Extreme Liberals, and can help preserve the traditional values of your great nation.

Liberal rebels in my nations who we believe were actively supported by your nation have not suffered any undo and unfair treatment even though followers of their and your ideology are believed to have killed about fifteen million individuals. They were responsible for detonating a small nuclear bomb in a major metropolitan area. These attacks and others killed both innocent and military/government persons, and continue launch sporadic acts of violence against my government. I remind you that your actions could cause certain similar unpleasant situations in other nations this time involving liberals, which would be most unfortunate. I hope you reconsider your position before they lead to violence, in your country and others.

Sincerely,
President Jack Kordo II

OOC: Well well well... ;)

IC: We have, as I have said previously, a strong Conservative element in our nation, which forms an integral part of Parliament. Our view of Conservatives is wholly different to our view of the Far Right; the former view is positive, while the latter is anything but.

OOC: Far-Right-Wing? You should really say "Crazed Authoritarians", since Capitalism = Right Wing =/= Fascism

IC: Then why did you arrest the conservative protesters? What did they do but express their opinions, which is a right that you liberals hold sacred.

No Conservatives were imprisoned. The Nazis and Fascists were imprisoned, because they were all members of their respective extremist groups.

Snow covered the corpses. A great still blanket of white lay draped over the lumps and bits of lumps in the trees, smashed bone and flesh soaking blood into the soil. Groups of Enforcers strode through the forest, rifles at the ready, and picked off those who they could find who had survived. Another flight of helicopters droned above them, black-pained Mi-24s emblazoned with the Enforcer mark. With careful precision, the Enforcers began to collect up all the heads they could, carrying them in their arms to a clearing, to be picked up by the helicopters.
