This is RNN news, your number one source for news in Ratheia...

Today, February 4th, there will be a mass execution of roughly 1,500 members of the organization known as "Ratheians for God".

After several violent protests during which three Ratheian citizens were killed and one member of the Ratheian Parliament took a gunshot wound to the arm, the Government has finally decided to act. Labeled as "incompetent" and "soft" by the Fascist Political Party, the Ratheian Parliament in conjunction with the President have authorized the arrest and execution of the all members of "Ratheians For God". This comes as a surprise to most of the public, because Ratheia is not known to quell protests in such a violent manner. However, with a 82% approval rating from the people, the Government has little to fear.

The Government has announced that the exeuctions will be done using fuel-air explosives, in order to test their effectiveness. Twenty Ratheian Commandoes will practice using their RPO-A Shmel Handheld Rockets on the protestors. Some see this as a warning to others who had stated that Ratheia "is too weak too take care of it's problems".

And others see this as a transition, as President Zaitsev resigns and Ratheian elections take place. A transition from the more controlled system of the Zaitsev Administration, to a Militarized Government possibly headed by Yura Gruzinich, Minister of Defense.

Stay tuned for more news on this story...

I am surprised that you bothered leaving it so long. Our Civil Protection forces destroy people breaking the law on the spot, if they catch them in the act. However, thank you for the idea of testing new weapons systems out on criminals; we never even considered it before. It may come in useful later.

Should this Yura Gruzinich gain power and establish a militarised government, you can be assured of Gorkonian approval.

Thank you for the kind words. Ratheia will be sure to establish good relations with Gorkon.

Though live test subjects are a wonderful boon we feel that mass executions strip the joy from to occasion.

(OOC: This reminds me of the United States of Nick's executions, my response to them, and the awful (on my part, I was new to the scene) war that followed.)
IC: Random Kingdom would condemn these acts, but because of the civil war and breakdown of government, they cannot. Instead, the competing RK National-Socialist Coalition applauds Ratheia on its "swift and decisive action towards enemies of its government and the Fascist Political Party's role in ensuring the executions happened". However, because of their questionable right-wing ideals, they at the same time condemn Ratheia for "giving too much power to the workers" (democracy), which they claim is the root of all evil.
