Today’s odd news, the Empires Calvinist population is mysteriously dwindling. Calvinist presence in ITD has seen dramatic drops from last years 3,126,432 to this years 1,425,763. There have been no reports of any mass emigration.

In other news the Venom Corporation is seeing record oil production.......

"We demand you stop this obvious purge and/or genocide, and/or forced conversions of Calvinists. We will not tolerate this. If you insist on this, we will round up anybody in Mississippi with connections to ITD and we shall crucify them along the roads leading from Biloxi to Jackson City, you Catholic papist swine!"

ooc:does the drop of calvinist have anything to do with the venom corperation?

"I assure you, the Imperium has nothing to do with this sudden drop in the Calvinist population." - Lt. General Daniel Reck -

"I assure you, I know how a genocide works, you don't think we went from having nearly one hundred million non-whites in 2003, to none in late 2004 by a coincidence, do you? We're not idiots. If you have nothing to hide then let us send inspectors in to search your nation and see for ourselves, or perhaps even international inspectors, eh?"

"We will not allow any inspectors to enter ITD. ITD answers to noone, not you, not the UN, nobody." - Daniel Reck -

"You will surely answer to God, you Papist swine. For you not only deny the Five Points, you kill those who accept them! You kill the Elect! You're doomed to hell for your that!"

ooc: it was a guess in the dark, I hadn't read any of the other threads

ic: The Dominion of Theao wishes to know if the goverment has any explanation for the drastic decrease in calvinists. We respect a nations right to conduct its internal affairs how ever it wishes. We would simply like to know if thier are any viruses or disease going around.

To the Nation of ITD,

The Grand Republic would welcome all Calvinist Citizens that would like to emigrate to Fultonia. We have in the past taken in Muslim outcasts, Nobles being overthrown, and people escaping tyranny. We would be more than happy to provide for the transportation of these people to our great nation, and to even pay for the devestating effects such a massive loss of manpower might do to your economy. Please respond quickly.

Respectfully,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Wheatly

There is no evidence of any outbreaks in any of the major cities, aside from the normal virii and bacterium that you would find in a city. Several islands were reporting poisoning from industrial waste, but that problem was resolved a full two weeks ago. The Imperium has no official idea of why these persons are vanishing, but we assure that there has been no foul play involved.

To: Fultonia

We are not allowing any persons to leave, because nobody wishes to leave.

"We love our homeland, we could never leave. Our relatives are merely moving away to a seperate island. The census group just hasn't found them yet...." Janet Castle, 43 year old Calvinist House wife

"My job, my life, my family and friends are all in ITD, I could never abandon them nor do I want to. The mere notion of leaving ITD is simply beyond me." David English, 35 year old Calvinist biochemical engineer.

The Grand Republic respects the wishes of the people of ITD but would like to reiterate the fact that these people are obviously being kidnapped, killed, or destroyed. At this point we would like you to send a calvinist religion delegation to the Grand Republic's Capital of Anora to verify that it is the wish of the Calvinists to stay in ITD.

The issue is an ITD internal affair and we shall respect their sovereignty.

We do however hope that the drop in the Calvinist population is not due to any sort of crime against humanity, but are adopting the standard judicial position of "innocent until proven guilty".

Farmina sees no reason to be alarmed by a sudden drop in the number of Calvinists. Anyone who intends to interfere in this situation, where there is clearly nothing occuring, is advised to act otherwise.

If or when details regarding their whereabouts surfaces, ITD will provide them to the general public, but until then it will be considered an internal matter.

I would like to know where these Calvinsts are. Any decent government should know where its people are at all times.

The word of God demands it, for I am Elect, and predestined to do everything that do. I insist that you listen to me, for if you ignore me, you are defying the wishes of God.

Euroslavia sends its support to the nation of Itinerate Tree Dweller and trusts that it has done nothing out of the ordinary to 'dispose' of these Calvinists. We urge Kahta and VoteEarly to stop with their accusations, especially VoteEarly, who has publically committed genocide itself. We see this as a hypocritical response towards ITD. We also suggest that they look at their own country, and how corrupt it is, rather than going out, and condemning other nations for things that did not occur.

Hmmmm...
Large amounts of people just mysteriously missing? Something must be up.

The Republic of Algonquia has noticed that large amounts of Calvinists are missing without any apparent cause. Our nationa has found this fact very distressing, and although we would not wish to cause any sort of violence or aggression we do realize that this seems like an act of religious intolerance. Algonquia respects the privacy of ITD and of all nations but finds the secrecy covering the incident distressing, considering the circumstances.

Official Report
The past years odd weather patterns left the islands, on which the Calvinist camps were located, in very bad shape. Tsunami and hurricanes in the wet season destroyed local shipping and destroyed their communications equipment. Since these people lived rather secluded lives, their sudden disappearance from the national network was not noticed. The floodwaters receded leaving their crops ruined and nearly three hundred thousand were dead.

Lack of clean water and food caused a large-scale outbreak of various diseases, which lead to government quarantine, which was successful. Food and water was airdropped on the islands, nothing is known on whether these supplies made their ways to those who required them. The outbreak claimed over three hundred seventy five thousand souls.

Coupled with the Calvinists total lack of cooperation with government officials and their subsequent request that the government officials leave, many more died from dehydration and starvation. The government officials left the islands upon their request, the governor-general and his family left the island and returned to Tol'Kethis Prime. Drought struck the island, causing further death of crops and persons. By the end, over one million seven hundred thousand persons were dead.

By the time government officials decided to step in, despite the the requests of the Calvinists, the damage was already done.

"Many of the Calvinists your nation murdered have relatives in our lands. You will pay reparations to their relatives in our lands, to the sum of one trillion dollars, or else we will pursue this matter in other ways. It is quite clear what you did, you killed them all and used excuses to try to explain away what happened."

"According to our records, they had no relatives in your nation at all. Also, we did not murder them, they died because they refused government assistance." - Emperor Erik Kersk -

The Shah sat down in his robe within his personal sitting room of Persepolis palace. A fine hookah full of sweet fruity tobacco sat on a table next to him with a glass of wine. The Shah pulled the hose to his mouth and breathed in deeply before setting it down. Two harem girls massaged his feet sitting atop a silk-cusioned ottoman while he turned on the TV to see his advisors meeting via videophone. The Dastur of Persepolis spoke up, "Honorable Shah, there is a religious war rapidly building up, what should we do?" The Shah laughed and then spoke, "Get me a live video feed of the action, I want to see people fight for Heresies."
