I, General Creighton Eastmoreland, do henceforth issue forth my proposed plan for Roach-Busters:

* A laissez faire capitalist economy;

* Free healthcare;

* Free, compulsory, apolitical education;

* A non-aligned, friendly foreign policy;

* Free, fair, internationally supervised elections;

* The legalization of all political parties;

* The abolition of torture;

* Habeus corpus, trial by jury, innocent until proven guilty;

* Legalized abortion;

* Freedom of speech, of assembly, of religion, and the press;

* A well-funded social safety net to protect the poor

God that's a beautiful dream. We hope the Sawney Beane Clan doesn't eat to many of your people. Gods bless.

I condemn all points but the first.

I think I will stage your execution in Parthia and I will do it myself, scum.

Official Response
The General aims high indeed, apart from the first point, which we view as rather irresponsible. But that's just our opinion.

Sadly, our view on these reforms is that they can be summed up with this old saying; "vox et praeterea nihil"*

- Ministry of External Affairs.

*Trans: "A voice and nothing more"; a mere display of words.

Secret IC:
Deep inside the Houses of Parliament, the Deputy External Affairs Minister exchanged glances with his Permanent Secretary and Private Secretary.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"Vox et, Minister, vox et..." answered the Permanent Secretary with a smile.
"I think the term "bald-faced lie" is more suitable here," the Private replied, to the laughter of the other two.
"Hmmm, freedom to Shoobans in Roach-Busters..." the Minister mused. "You're right; now we know they're lying..."

Official Republican Response-

We applaud the efforts of General Eastmoreland to make Roach-Busters a much better nation than J.L. Ever did.

Thank you kindly. Democracy, freedom, and equality are my utmost goals.

-General Eastmoreland

We wish to commend you on your reforms, but have to wonder what this policy of vast social, judicial, economic and political reform will do to your nation and how it will affect the world community?

We support the goals of General Eastmoreland. May Roach-Busters become great once more!

I wish to make RB as socially, politically, and economically free as possible. I want freedom, prosperity, and happiness for everyone, regardless of age, race, color, creed, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, or nationality.

-General Eastmoreland

We wish you all the best in your attempt at turning your nation in to a paradise.

Emperor Matrig of Beaten souls read this.
"Bah, what kind of nation gives support to the poor. If they are too lazy to get off their chairs and work then they deserve to starve and get diseases."

Official Message to Roach Busters.

The nation of Beaten souls calls for your government to stop this nonsence and adopt a true capilist government. Those who want to survive will get jobs and work. Increasing welfare will only increase the amount of people who will be unemployed. Why should they work if you will pay for them to got to hospital etc.
If you wish we can send some of our leading economists to get your government back on the right track. If you decide to carry on with this skullduggery then Beaten souls will cease all trade, without the future prospect of increasing relations, and will actively oppose any pursuits that RB has in the future.
We have a high opinion of your nation and hope you will come to your sences.

Yours in Faith

Emperor and Dictator of Beaten souls

I appreciate the advice, but I must regretfully ignore it.

Point two seems a bit too socialist. Free emergency room care is a must, but free healthcare only turns medicine into an uninnovative, unefficient bureacratic mess. Legalized abortion is horrid as well. It is only legalized murder. And whatever happened to J.L.?

And whatever happened to J.L.?

The bastard was ousted via a coup d'etat.

Although we are uncertain of some of your policies, Farmina can afford to lose no friends in currrent circumstances. Thus we request you up hold a secret and tacit alliance made between myself and the former Generallissimo, regarding mutual defence. Not to uphold it would be an upmost dishonour on yourself and your nation.

Emperor Justinian


OOC: I realise there was no secret alliance, but...Anyway is JL coming back?

I have decided on your fate. It will be scaphism. I advise you to kill yourself unless you love to suffer perhaps the worst death imaginable.

Please, just shut up. NO ONE is interested in your crap.

No, but your people will. One day, democracy will save your nation.

I have decided to decorate my mantle with your severed head. And I think I'll perform your execution myself. In a most horrible and painfull fashion, of course, and in front of billions of people. Hell, I think I'll go bomb you in a few minutes, after I'm done with whatever it is I'm doing...oh yeah, writing this message.

-Emperor Helldawg V

OOC: Nice to see you being your friendly, cheery self Doom :P

IC: We feel these aims are laudable, and certainly present a very radical change from the regime operated by former Generalissimo J.L. Assuming this leadership lasts, it may yet transform Roach-Busters into a beacon of moderation and freedom for the world to look at, and possibly even go "hey!" about.

Bitch, please. You're afraid of your own shadow and you know it.

-General Eastmoreland

Bitch? What are you, thirteen? You sound like a little fuckin' girl. All the more reason to put you out of your misery.

Meanwhile...

Doom AFB, Doom City, Doomingsland

"Hammer Six, you are cleared for take-off." came the voice of the air traffic controler over Colonel Marcius', callsign Hammer Six, com.

"Roger, control." he responded from the cockpit of his B9D Romulus bomber as he pushed forward on the throttle. He was pressed back against his seat as the bomber accelerated and shot into the night sky, followed by six more.

He climber to his cruising altitude of 49,000 feet and accelerating to mach 2.2. This was to be a quick in and out mission. They wouldn't actualy enter R-B airspace, so there was little risk to them. However, there was always the chance, however unlikely, that they'd be spotted by enemy aircraft in international airspace. They'd be able to handle that to some extent....

You only despise me because I cherish democracy and freedom. Am I right, fascist?

I see. Well, he lived by the sword, he died by the sword.

1,500 miles away from General Eastmoreland's house

"Aproaching waypoint Golf." said Marcius' navigator.

"Alright. Engaging master arm." said Marcius, flipping several switches. An LCD monitor displayed the target via GPS and the fireing solutions. Marcius flipped yet another switch marked "fire", and from beneath his and the other six bombers shot out four Balista surface-to-surface missiles.

The missiles, each of which was armed with a high explosive warhead, would head to an altitude of 100,000 feet, beyond the range of most air defenses, and accelerate to mach 4.7. They would streak inland, and eject their warheads over the target. The warheads, guided by GPS, would drop towards the ground. Each weapon was targetted at the Presidential Palace (or whereever you said he lives, I don't feel like looking it up...).

Look outside and find out.

-Emperor Helldawg V

I see. Well, he lived by the sword, he died by the sword.

No, he's still alive. He managed to escape.

...Anyway is JL coming back?

Of course

OOC: Is JL coming back soon? Cause I'ma gonna be p.o.'d if I get my ass kicked by the Parthians for nothing. ;)

They destroyed 23% of the palace, killing more than 1,340 people, including 6 of the 10 generals who staged the coup.
