The nation of Hyst finds this display of utter disregard of morals not to metion how many international laws discraseful. The great nation of Hyst considers these actions as grounds for war, to free your oppressed peoples. If no steps are taken to curtail this trade in a timely manner a massive air, ground, naval, and (if necessary) a nuclear bombardements will ensure the freedom for you enslaved populace.

OIS Sub-Commander Bernard sat in his chair, shaking his head slightly as he removed the phone from its cradle.

“Yes, Commander Fires?” he said

“Yes, I’m going to need a funds authorization.” Mummer, “Someone’s selling slaves again.” Mummer, this time sounding a bit paranoid “uh huh, yeah…right, No…they’re human this time, no need to run this up to the Director-General then? Good.” mummer “Right, I know the drill…right, bring them in, emancipate them, offer them the chance to serve their term, and enjoy citizenship, or free transport to the nation of their choosing, right?” mummer “They’re selling kids too. Right, acquire more children, extract DNA, try to locate parents and return child, if we cant do that, we’ll put them up for adoption, and grant them resident status until their 18th birthday.” mummer “Of course, right, thank you Sub-Commander, good day.”

With a click, the phone line disconnected, and Bernard replaced the receiver on he cradle.

Later, a letter would arrive to the nation of Millerian

“We require the shipment of 200 of each type, excluding artisans, and 500 children, brining the total to:

20,000 USD for Males
40,000 USD for Women
100,000 USD for the Children

Total comes to: 160,000 USD for all slaves being purchased.

OOC: Selling slaves = not so bright move on your part. You’ll be lucky if you only get threatened with war. I’m not threatening, mind you, but….you might want to shut this operation down.

Because devastating the land with radiation for decades ensures the safety and security of everyone…maybe you could use some new tacticians…I think you current ones dropped the ball.

OOC: This is among the strangest ideas you could do. Not happy

IC: The Shadowy State of Snake Eaters publicly condemns this abhorrent destruction of human rights, and must thus place an embargo on this nation until this practice is proven to have been stopped. If the practice is not ceased within 60 days ((give it a while)) then we will have no choice but to mobilise our troops in order to 'convince' you to alter your ways

I'm curious if these slaves are any particular race or creed? We suppor the right sell some peoples, but descrimination of a certain type of people goes against even our code.

If these slaves are not of a certain peoples or creed, then we could always use the manual labour in our factories and such.

The People's Socialist Republic of Russkya, while not attempting not to infringe on any cultural 'norms' in your society, would highly recommend not attempting to sell said slaves abroad, as many nations find it offensive.

The General staff applauds the Transnapastain efforts and will make a similar move with regards to Artisians, seeing as how Transnapastain forewent "purchasing" them at the present time.

We'll take in 100, 000 Artisians for a total of 150, 000, 00 USD. The funds will be wired to the appropriate account once Battlegroup Shostakovich arrives to effect transfer of the 'goods.'

OOC:
- I must make it clear that I fully plan to free said 'goods' and provide them with safe harbour in the PSR of Russkya or transport to the nation of their choice.

Indeed, I hope you're willing to resettle the liberated people, since their land would be uninhabitable after a nuclear strike. Free or not, I think the populace isn’t going to welcome the liberators who come on the tail end of the nuclear firestorms and radioactive dust clouds.

Anyways, this isn’t the time our place for this discussion.

((I find it humorous that nuking an country and killing everyone seems to be one of the most prevalent methods of dealing with slavery.))

The militaristic empire of Yurka maintains the stance that, while we ourselves are no longer in the need of slaves due to a past dispute, we wish you well in taking care of your financial troubles. Be wary of other nations, and remember to get them off your hands as quickly as possible.

Yeah, I would free them, but IC flaws in my nations government style prevent such. Its my nations, and regions policy to free as many slaves as we can, whenever the market appears, which isn't for long, since the horde tends to descend upon the seller. Though, our IC biases tend to creep through in the selection, just keeping it In Character after all. Thanks for picking up those slaves, though.

IC:

The nation of Transnapastain thanks Russkya, for helping us to correct that clerical error on the request forms, and applauds their respect for human life.

The Federation of Aligned Planets find your actions abhorrent, as the selling of slaves is a clear violation of morality and ethics. We demand that you cease and desist this illegal operation immediately.

This deal will be done thus, or there will be war. As we have seen several of these 'sales' it abhorres us to see the value of life put at the end of a monetary quotient.

So we will say it simple.

The entire remainder of the population for sale, at the following price: $500.075 Billion USD. No exchange rate will be conducted between our two currencies.

As soon as the amount is transfered, we will send several Potemkin Class Troop Ships to transport the population back to our worlds, where they will be freed and made instant citizens of the Ascendancy Sphere. As we have more than ample room for them, and the fact that money is a trite item in comparison, we say this is a fair deal.

This 'will' be accepted, or we will make an example of your nation to other slave driven nations, at the end of our sword, forged by Mech laser and WarShip torpedo, both by mortal and droid force alike.

And do know that this is only the first in many more such acts, intended to free slaves to a better life than you could offer. So, do choose wisely young nation.

Ironclad regards,

The Holy Council of the Ascendancy Sphere

All slaves are sent to the nations. Millerian ,due to diplomatic pressure, freeing all its slaves, but this kind of human population will destroy our economic system. We are sending the rest of the slaves to the demanding nations as free men and women. The sold ones are chosen randomly and cannot be freed.
