Anticapitalist Riots in Swilatia

Swilatia
19-03-2006, 02:34
Many cities in the Democratic Capitalist Empire of Swilatia, especially the cities in the far eastern regions of the nation, were engulfed by large anticapitalist roits. Most of the people who participated were some of Swilatia's poorest citizens, who clamied that the capitalist system was causing their poverty, and that a more equal system needs to be introduced into Swilatia.

The roits started as simple protest that involved the poor holding signs saying messages such as "we want bread!!!" that demanded equality in the nation. However, as the protests grew, but there was no goverment response, the protest turned into violent riots with some protesters burning more than just the Swilatian Flag.

Events worsened as later when police tried to stop the riots were unsucessful, and 5 police officers were killed in Delaskado, which was the city with the most roits. After this, the roits were easily stopped in Vilvek, Atlius, Serelian, Barsenulia, Korswane, and New Warsaw, but Delaskado and Nitsolna will have curfews and special patroll set up temporalrily to stop the riots..

While Pythogria is partly socialist, we use capitalism for most of our economy. Should you require any assistance in dealing with these rebels, just ask. Let me warn you, however, to not cave in to their views. Capitalism is good. Socialism's good too. Communism is NOT good.

We will probably need help dealing with the riot in Delaskado, as five swilatian police officers were killed when they were trying to break up the riots.

The Dominion, in support fully of capitalism, will assist in suppressing these riots if aid is required.

As we had told Pythagoria, we will need help with Nitsolna and Delaskado. Especially Delaskado, as that is is where the roiters killed 5 police officers.

OOC:what do you mean by those?OOC: Crowd control is what the others have offered. Population control is favored by the stricter nations, and that's killing the protesters. Deportation outlet means you send the protesters to Mykorin to become citizens in our nation and, essentially, our problem.

Crowd control is okay, and probably needed. however we will not allow population control, and will only deport to nations that do not use the death penalty.

Crowd control is okay, and probably needed. however we will not allow population control, and will only deport to nations that do not use the death penalty.We'll make sure they only get sent to the cities. They'd be most needed there, would be treated fairly as they are seeking, and the cities do not tolerate the death penalty.

The Makaarian government is concerned with these anti-capitalist riots. We will not intervene as of yet, but we will investigate. We cannot allow a nation to fall to communism.

OOC: Though my post count's low, my nation is 2.8 billion people, so my military's pretty big too.
Madnestan
19-03-2006, 13:35
Madnestan govenrment feels sorry for these recent accidents in the nation of Swilatia. Our sympathies are however on the side of the protesters. Capitalism is indeed a cause of great suffering to the lower classes, and their desire for more equal society is understandable. Our sincere wish is that these problems could be dealt as peacefully as possible, and that the international Riot Controlling Forces sent to your country will not let the violence spread when it is not unavoidable. To make sure of that, Madnestan is willing to send five regiments of our SEJEM security troops that are trained in both excessively violent but also non-violent, "soft" population controlling.

Their secondary object would be to prevent unnecessary violence by the other peace keeping forces.

Third, we would like to be allowed to economically and advisory-wise support the organization of these anticapitalist parts of your population in peacefull, democratic party/parties, which would effectively direct their desire for better Swilatia to ordinary political work.

Sincerely wishing that more bloodshed could be avoided,
Yours truly,

We do not need population control, just crowd control. Also any help dealing with the roits would be good. We are not against the message that these people are trying to show, but simply the means they are using to show it.

Swilatian and Pythagorian troops fought toghether to stop the roits. However the roits are olnyweakened, not stopped. It was also seen that the roiters now demanded that if the government were to do nothing to make Swilatia a more equal place, then they should allow the Far Easter regions of the nation to become their own nation. However we currently have no plan to do so.

After 3 hours of fighting, the protesters were stopped, as many surrendered after the millitaryt to protestors ratio was 5:1, and they could not fight all day when outnumbered and outpowred. The remaing 1000 protestors who did no surrender were jailed. However the city of delaskado is still home to some separatistand anticapitalist movements.

New-Avalon has dispatched 600 members of La Casa di Protezione (Police/Riot control/Soliders) and a handful of members of La Casa di Guida (Diplomats/Civil Servants) As well as several thousand copies of "The theory and practice of colectivised democracy" to the affected cities. Head of the opperation Stefano Caria has this to say
"We have all witnessed the horrors that conflict within a nation can bring, particulaly when armed voilence erupts, there are no victors in such a conflict, which will no doubt be fought in the streets and in the shadows for generations. We propose a system of limited self-government for the disafected citizens who are effectivly serfs in their own land. With co-opperation between these people, and the governing body we propose a resolution both final, and without further bloodshed that may serve as a fine example of unity between all whom are human for the rest of time"

New-Avalon requests the withdrawl of all other nations in this sensative matter, and has offered, if this request is met, to bear the full resposability of keeping peace.
Furthermore the Aviloni government seeks permision to build an embasy withing the conflicted area.

Efforts will be made to organise the rioting citizens in to a single unit with a representative speaker, or speakers, to comence peaceful discussion with a similar representative from the government via La Casa di Guida.

OOC: Can I have some background info here, language spoken, ecconomic situation (particulaly in regards to ecconomic inequality) signifigant religions in the area ect.

The average member of La Casa di Protezione-
Trained from the age of 12 in the martial arts and millitary opereations they are increadably hard to kill while at the same time able to incapasatate potential threats with minimum lasting damage, they are unarmed, save for a discretely caried personal tazer(sp?) which can never administer a lethal shock. They can be of any sex or gender. They wear black shirts, shoes and trousers (in temperate climates) and are recognised by a red velvet rose around the left wrist.
In this senario they will only resort to violence if life is directly endagered, prefering their training in negotiation and psycology to defuse potentaly dangerous situations.

The average member of La Casa di Guida-
Equal parts diplomat and civil servant, their goal here is to facilitate peaceful resolution whilst addressing the underlieing issue of socal inequality. Whatever the circumstances they should be able to repair the damage done in the conflict. They will activly listen to the rioters, as well as encourage them towards peaceful discourse, a course of action that noone has taken thusfar, alas.

The theory and practice of colectivised democracy-
this book outlines the governing system used in New-Avalon (Income inequality 0%) Each city has it's own representative, as does each "house" (or profesion, if you will) The aim of this book here, is to provide the rioters with a non-voilent way of bettering their lot in life.

Dispatch has begun, New-Avalon awaits a responce, and the withdrawl of the war-moungering nations present.
