OOC: Ever have a post delete itself on you? Makes me want to type in a lot of those angry-looking smileys. The ones with guns and such.

On 1 September, 2004, six men kidnapped, tortured, and executed two men and a woman, burning their corpses in a cross-shaped bonfire. They were caught red-handed with the fires still hot, tried, and sentenced to death. The men showed no remorse for their crimes: they claimed to be doing God's work - the two men killed were avowed homosexuals, the woman had had an abortion merely six months prior (due to a possibly life-threatening pregnancy). More disturbing was the fact that the entire murder was planned out on the grounds of the Grace of God Lutheran Church in Waverston (UNL-Compliant). The leadership of the Urukkian Nationalist Lutheran Church has condemned the "Waverston Six" at great length, going to great lengths to reassure people that "the views of these murderers are not the views of the Church."
Today, the Waverston Six were executed by firing squad. Urukkian courts are fast, efficient, and care little for "criminal rights." Appeals are rare - in this case, completely unnecessary. As a result of this most heinous act, however, a joint session of the Civil, Religious, and Martial Councils of Urukku has been called to discuss an active, permanent solution that will prevent any such event from recurring.
The hottest talk of the join session centers around a bill titled the National Religious Monitoring Act (NARMO). A large portion of the Councils seem to be in favor of NARMO, which would give the government power to observe the activities of all centers of worship in Urukku, to prevent "conspiracy which may lead to the harm of the Empire or citizens thereof." It is possible that the government will limit worship only to licensed Centers of Worship in conjunction with NARMO.
His Imperial Majesty has not commented.
