2) Criminalization of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. If upon the delivery of a child, and upon subsequent request by proper authorities, the woman shall be unable to prove she is married, and the man she is married to is the father of the child, she may be punished by up to 3 years imprisonment, or a fine of $5,000,000 may be brought against her father or male guardian.
3) Arranged Marriages- Refusal to comply with an arranged marriage may result in the following punishments. Male- 3 years imprisonment or forced conscription into the armed forces. Female- 5 years imprisonment or banishment. Also for both genders, a $10,000,000 fine is possible.

5) Upholding Public Morality- People caught engaging in lewd conduct in public, may face the following. Male- forced conscription into the armed forces, 5 years imprisonment, $10,000,000 fine. Female- 50 lashes, 2 years imprisonment, $5,000,000 fine.
6) Family Responsibilities Clause - Men may now be held legally responsible if their wife or daughters commits a crime and they should have had reasonable knowledge of it before the fact, and been able to stop it.

Good choice. I have already taken these steps to do so in Kahta by banning influences such as MTV and other programs with mature our children when they are not emotionally ready.

Yay!
"Hey Mick, you seen the latest from Decisive Action?" Andreas asked Iuthia's foriegn minister, Mick Lakely. Andreas Demitri's job was back checking statements with intelligence facts, though in this case there wasn't really much inteligence to gather from Decisive Action since Iuthia had left the nation completely after another poorly played out diplomatic incident had forced their hand. Now it was more a case of keeping a eye on the fundamental state for any concerns which may play against Iuthia's interests.
Mick shrugged. "I don't really bother keeping up with them anymore, they don't seem to have changed much, even with our allies Lavenrunz showing a mild interest in them." Mick turned to Andreas to give him a funny look. "Why, what have they done now then? Banned kissing in public?"
Andreas smirked. "Close... they've banned all 'fornication' and having bastard children, though personally I reckon with Curtis's womanising he has tons of illigimate children himself."
Mick snickered a little, maybe he did, but quite frankly the IDC weren't keeping up with such minor issues. "It wouldn't surprise me, they love to shoot themselves in the foot over there."
"Hell, thats not all of it, they also made it illegal to try and get out of a arranged marriage along with a ton of laws against Witchcraft and other religious crap... you got to feel sorry for their people to some extent."
"Nah, their people have lived with it all their lives... I wouldn't be surprised if they enforced it themselves. You have to remember their people think differently then we do. Probably why they're so backwards."
"Yeah, I get you... so you going to respond to this?" Andreas promted.
"Nah, fuck them. We don't have anyone over there anymore so it's not really going to do anything. If their people don't like it then it's their problem. They will probably keep arresting foriegn diplomats for stupid shit, but it's nothing to do with us anymore."
"Fair enough... I'll catch you again at lunch, ok?"
"Sure thing Andy, I've got a few reports to finish for James, so I may be a little late... seeya later."

Clearly there comes a time for obliqueness in one's approach to such things. The Vorlon Empire unconditionally condemns the legislation recently passed by the Mississippian Federation of Decisive Action. It is both unwise and counter-productive. Such a step back in the social development of Decisive Action is unfortunate, and the Empire can only lament at this back step in the development of the Young Races. We find it hard to believe that it is the desire of your God to continue these foolish expenditures of resources that undermine the Legitimacy of the Authority of the State. Such actions are the work of unsound minds unfit for Rulership.

Baroness Bennigsen, sitting at the Foreign Minister's briefing table, saw the latest missive from Mississippi and blanched. She scanned down the list and became increasingly indignant. Not so much on her own part, but on the part of any possible future children she might have, and indeed...when she thought about it, her own part!
"Something wrong?" Aurora von Konigsmark asked as she, Prince Karl and the other junior ministers trooped in.
"Just some silliness from Mississippi. They think they can legislate morality." she said with a slightly tremulous smile.
Aurora took up the papers and looked through them briefly. She sighed and said, "Mississippi is as fascist and oppressive a nation as Iraqstan. And the similarity does not end there. Both are led by people who are clutching at straws. You will notice that these moral issues are not a fear here. I strongly suggest though, Anna, that you give up the idea of marrying this Curtis Fabus. Do you know he has hundreds if not possibly thousands of bastard children? That he is also a danger magnet and probably a fool for taking you on that absurd plane ride?"
"What if it means good relations with the country?" she asked. Fortunately the others were still gabbling good mornings over their coffee and shuffling papers.
"Then dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." replied the Foreign Minister with a sardonic lift of her eyebrow.

OOC: Unless I am very much mistaken, there is nothing in the Embassy Contract about giant speakers.
The Werean ambassador nodded to the two High Guard marines standing guard at the roof entrance to the Weyrean diplomatic compound within Mississippi. The building had changed since it was first transformed into an embassy. A tall wall ran along the perimeter, spiked at the top, watched by security cameras and infrared. The building rose four stories above it, a squat structure with antenna dishes and now, several steel-encased speakers and subwoofers on its roof. The Ambassador flicked a switch. The guards gripped their weapons a bit more firmly, black Grenadier armor shifting to reflect sunlight slightly differently in the noonday sun. The trio returned into the structure, the door of the staircase closing smoothly behind them, heavy-duty locks sliding into place.
Within the building, personnel moved away from the rooftop, into the inner rooms, insulated against shock and now, reverberation. The first tremendous, gutteral moan issued from the upper stories of the Weyrean embassy, located within Mississippi, followed by rampant and apperently empassioned grunting. Shockwaves made glass humm in the surounding buildings. The entire outer skin of the weyrean embassy acted as a giant resonator, sending soundwaves along the streets of the Mississippian city. The Weyrean ambassador was following his directives from the Diplomatic Service to the letter, aided in part by members of The Tower.

Ooc-
Actually you are mistaken, the SRG must approve ANYTHING that enters an embassy, and since you never RPed asking that be approved, and everything has to be approved, it can't be something I just let slide. Sorry, but I really think was the lamest godmod I've seen in a while.
I don't really want to argue though, I'm sorta tipsy. so I'm just going to go lay down.

1) Women with no male relatives, well, that's never happened yet! Hehehehe, societal values dictate women remarry if they are widowed.
2) Children born out of wedlock, typically the local Mississippian National Front Party HQ will have the WKM go make sure the man is planning on marrying the woman. If he isn't, they typically "Talk" to him, until he agrees to marry her.
3) Lewd conduct is anything which offends Minister of Public Morality, Comstock. Also lewd= any sex acts, nudity, sexual comments, etc. Basically just hold hands and light kissing, and you're in the clear, anything else, expect jail time.

The Weyrean ambassador had about as much interest in watching the events in Mississippi and its associated parts, he liked to call them shitholes in private, as he had in watching the local religious services. The whole country made him sick. The psychotic culture, the racist outlook, the blatant intolerance -- the entire society felt like it had come down from the moon. The only good thing about this assignment, in his opinion, was that the Diplomatic Service Central Office seemed to share his views and permitted the local staff to stay in the embassy and never leave. That the embassy was built to house a relatively small staff, as far as embassies went, the accommodations were quite good. The ambassador was happy to doze in his chair, behind soundproof, bulletproof glass and a set of heavy blinds. He would have listened to music, too, but the embassy's PA system had gone out of service just two days ago, and there didn't seem a way to repair it. It was a hassle to have the phones constantly ring, asking if someone was there or not.
Sighing, the ambassador connected to the embassy's main server via his persCom, checked the day's messages from Central, quantum encrypted and stored on rod logic arrays to minimize data theft. This was interesting. He actually wished for the first time he knew who the local diplomatic head was.

Due to a recent failure in our communications announcement grid (coffee spill), we would like to request assistance in procuring a set of heavy-duty speakers, preferably with subwoofer capability, on order to prevent further such incidents (failure to change the Guard, failure to report to stations, failure to rise at a proper time, failure to pick up important reports, etc) from occurring. Should it prove to be impossible to procure such a commodity within the Mississippian commonwealth, we would like to inquire as to the possibility of importing our own set, to be inspected by Mississippian authorities prior to entry.

From: Weyrean Embassy within Mississippi
Unfortunately, we lack either a bullhorn or a trumpet. Furthermore, the soundproofing within the embassy structure would make said bullhorn highly ineffective. In addition, we fail to see how a musical instrument will assist us in efficiently carrying out the basic tasks required for a functional embassy.
Seeing as the Mississippian Government is incapable of rendering assistance to diplomatic delegations within its borders, we request permission to purchase via our own funds a sound system of our choosing, to be inspected for dangerous substances or prohibited materials prior to purchase.

We find the courtesy and the ability of your nation to provide fundamental and basic services to foreign entities within your nation to be severely lacking.

Well lets face it, you are bad hosts and I'm sure a number of nations will support this view due to the number of foriegn delegates assaulted and/or harassed in your nation. Decisive Action simply cannot be trusted not to harm anyone who may disagree with their leadership who cannot take criticism without lashing out at people.
Such actions do not help the diplomatic reputation of your nation, perhaps you don't care now... but you will find most the nations of which Lavenrunz deals with on a constant basis simply will not deal with a nation which cannot respect foriegn diplomats, we imagine our noble ally will not always be patient with you...

You have to understand that I'm explaining why some nations will automatically concider your nation to be bad hosts, until it becomes commonly known that abuse is no longer a problem may find nations simply opting to avoid contact all together (as is the case with various NDA nations).
It's all very well explaining it away with a faulty organisation, but ulimately it's your nation and we expect that if you're going to give your word on safety of foriegn diplomats then that word should be kept at all costs less your honor continues to take blows from this organisations incompetence.

Let's face it... Lenny wasn't a diplomat by any stretch of the imagination. He'd been born in his beloved homeland, served his time in the military there just like everyone else, and was enjoying the benefits of a lucrative job in the cheese industry. He'd been around the country for a few weeks, and was waiting at the airport to head back home, when he picked up the paper and read about the latest nonsense of the Mississippians.
Granted, he wasn't a diplomat... nor was he at all qualified to speak for the government of the Empire of the Dark Aardvark, but his next utterings would uncannily echo those of his fellows back home, once they heard the news.
"Damn... they're all freakin' nuts."
And with that, he tossed the paper aside into a proper trash receptical and boarded the plane back home.

From: Office of the Consul-General, Weyr
The Kingdom of Weyr finds the request for a new PA system, which can potentially also be used for various recreational activities within the embassy building, to hardly constitute an 'unreasonable demand'. That our embassy, like any other embassy, cannot fully comply with either local safety codes, nor with standard embassy efficiency guidelines, without said PA system, is a fundamental fact. Your reasons for denying a basic diplomatic request have been most curious.
We understand that the peoples of Mississippi are genetically modified to the extent that they may no longer be considered a part of the Homo Sapien genetic group. If said people are capable of shouting through concrete walls and interfloor partitions, they are welcome to do so. However, Weyreans of any species are not currently capable of such a feat.
Please clarify whether or not a personal conference, mentioned in the previous communication, to discuss the current situation is in order.

And in the meanwhile, embassy officials were taking independent action. The orders from Central did say to nerf the embassy's PA system. Unfortunately, Central didn't think that there would be trouble getting a suitable replacement.
The Ambassador muttered something in the slang-filled Wye City dialect of Common Weyrik to his cultural attache, a woman in her late twenties by appearance, had that appearance not been hidden underneath a wide-brimmed hat and all-concealing dress. The two would not have looked out of place on a well-to-do street in Victorian England, the ambassador in his black suit, the attache in her white dress and gloves. That they were now waiting just within the weyrean embassy's gates, kept open as per regulation, flanked by two High Guard soldiers in high-grade armor, waiting for their local escort.

Czar Roger Fabus
With all due respect, Mr. Fabus, unless you have the most generous minimum wage on the planet, it would take their entire lives and then some to work off a fine of $10 million. These are disproportionate punishments; three years in jail compared to a lifetime of slavery, both punishments being possible for the same crime.
Unless of course, you are happy for people to pay off $10 million after completion of a single government contract, or just a few years of work on various projects. In which case, they're not really paying a $10,000,000 fine. And as they wouldn't be earning a wage, you'd have to supply them with food, accommodation and medical supplies just to keep them alive -- all of which cost money.
I just think there are more profitable and practical ways of going about it, namely, by making the fine more realistic for the average consumer.
