The Shangia Problem (Rated R)

Whittier---
15-04-2006, 18:51
"Fellow members of the International Community", began Forign Minister Igor Ivanov.

"It is with great displeasure and sadness that bring to you reports of a vile travesty happening in the lands that composed the former primate nation of Shangia.

As some of you may know, Shangia was a nation whose inhabitants were primitive and very tiny primates who had no means of self defense for their society.
Our policy has been to leave the Shangians alone so they could develop their society in peace and without outside interference.
Shangia was a land home to prehistoric mammals and even a few dinosaur species had been found there. If you had been able to visit there, you would say that Shangia was a paradise.
But today, the forests of Shangia are being destroyed by a evil greedy corporate government from a foreign land. The regime of William Lumber of Shonshonia has taken to cutting down the Shangian forests and their people and outposts in the former Shangia have been engaged in ruthless unethical hunting of the local species to obliteration. The Velociraptor, a species that once one of the top species of Shangia has been rendered extinct by Shonshonian hunters. They aren't killing the animals for food or aphrodisiacs or even to protect livestock. They killed off the Velociraptors just because they could.

Where the great Mount Elfimore stood, there is now a giant ugly pit in the ground dug by one of the monster digging machines that Shonshoni sent to the former Shangia to dig for gold and oil.
Mount Elfimore, was not only World Heritage site, but it was sacred to the Shangians who worshipped their ancestors there. And now the Shonshoni miners are illegally destroying other mountains in Shangia that were Shangian national monuments. These are National Monuments that should be considered World Heritage sites. Indeed Shangia should have been a world heritage site itself cause then these evils would not be happening there today.
And now the Pteradons are almost extinct.

But the worst travesty of all. The Shangian people themselves have been forced into brutal slavery to work the illegal mines of the Shonshoni corporations and the Shonshoni government.
I report to you the sad state of these pathetic "slaves" as Shonshoni refers to them. The Shangians are brutally whipped with catatails and if they collapse from exhaustion they stomped to death under the feet of their Shonshoni masters. Shangian women are forced to do nothing but breed more Shangians for use as slaves or to give physical pleasure to their perverted masters.
Let me tell the story of Ethanial. Ethanial, pictured belowed, was like your neighbor or your friend or even your brother except that he was only the size of your thumb. Ethaniel had high hopes for his people and his only crime was to try to realize those dreams. He fled from his Shonshonian slave masters.
The Shonshonians responded by torturing his family and killing them with RAID.
I cannot tell you how his little sister was killed by the genocidal regime of Shonshonia.
But let me tell what the Shonshonian bounty hunters did to Ethaniel, of which we have obtained videotaped evidence from his friend Illienor, who is a Shangian refugee that has been given refugee status and protection from the Whittier government.
The tape is too gruesome for public television. Let me tell you they caught him and they shoved a toothpick straight through his body from his mouth to his other end. The organs were still attached when they pulled it back out through his mouth.
Our people are horrified at the practices of the Shonshonians in their brutal treatment of the Shangians.

These problems were brought to our governments attention by Illienor, who was able to evade all obstacles and risked his life and that of his family to seek refuge in the UPR.

A Shonshonian, Victor Council, had the gall to come to Whittier and sue in our courts to have his slave, Illienor, restored to him. As natural we have rejected his arguments as having no basis under either our laws or under international laws.
The Shonshonian government responded by attempting to abduct Illienor at gun point from his guest house. Shonsonia attemtped to kidnap a political refugee that was under our governments express permission. The Shonshonian agents have been apprehended.
Our parliament has sent a fact finding mission to the former Shangia where Shonshonian taskmasters attempted to turn them back. But under threat of appeal to the world community they relented. The conditions of the Shangian people that were observed and noted were horrendous. They are kept for days with being allowed to eat or drink. Asking innocent questions gets them tossed into the microwave. Our task force saw other humiliations of the Shangians, like having their whole bodies forcefully shaved and being forced to watch their family members be fed to snakes, spiders, and owls.
Our parliament has decided that these conditions are intolerable. Therefore we are forced by conscious to take action in a land that once part of Whittier but granted independence some time ago so they could develop on their own.
1. We demand the release of Shangians being held as slaves by the Shonshonian government and its people.
2. We demand the dismantling of all the Shonshonian slave trading posts and mining centers, lumber mills, and torture chambers that are illegally located on Shangian soil.
3. We are giving the Shonshonians 48 hours to vacate Shangia with all their people.
4. With Illienor and his rescued family watching from the deck of one of our destroyers, we have destroyed the illegal Shonshonian naval base in Shangia's Biscuit Bay. The base was not just used to base ships but it was used to sell Shangians as slaves and was the location of the Shonshonians most notorious torture dungeon in Shangia. Thanks to the Whittier navy, I relieved to say that that the Shonshonian torture base of Gevyakiville is being pounded to smithereens.. It's former inmates having been rescued by Whittier Special Ops and the facilities themselves are being obliterated by the powerful guns of our battleships under orders from the Secretary General and the Politburo of the UPR.
5. We request that International Community recognize Shangia as a world heritage site under the protection of the international community.
6. We request the deployment of an international force to Shangia to protect what is left of the Shangia environment, fauna, and the Shangia people
7. We request international assistance in helping the Shangian rebuild their country. Including the cloning and reintroduction of the Velociraptors.
8. We request the world hold Shonshonia accountable for its crimes against humanity in Shangia. No the Shangia are not human, but the crimes committed against the Shangians should not be committed against any intelligent tool using species. The Shangians are not the personal toys of the Shonshonis. Nor is Shangia Shonshonia's colony to do with as they see fit. "


I ask you to look at this picture of Illienor, as he was photographed on the hand of a human rights worker who was treating him for injuries that he recieved at the hands of his slave owners.

"Will you deny a request to save his people and his nation? "


His cellphone rings and he answers, "That's good news indeed". Then turns back to the cameras and journalists before him.

"Gentleman, I have good news. The commander of the naval task force in Shangia with the responsibility for destroying Gevyakiville has just reported to his government that he cannot shell the place because the torture facility known of Gevyakiville no longer exists. But we still have much work in restoring Shangia to its people and restoring it's people's spirit and morale which has been nearly destroyed by the policies of the Shonshoni regime."


"And finally we ask for international agreement that the Shangians human rights be recognized to be as valid as those of us humans."


The Foreign Minister walked back into the building. His government hoping to get international backing for the release of all Shangian slaves, the elimination of all Shonshoni slave colonies and military bases in Shangia, and a recognition that the Shangians are deserving of having basic human rights, and the designation of Shangia as a world heritage site but much hinged on the other nations' reaction to the revelation of events in Shangia.

OOC: Didn't feel like doing another puppet for this. So.....

IC:
The Shonshonian response was swift.

"The Shonshonian government condemns the actions of the evil Whittier dictator. The shangians are nothing but stupid animals who have no feelings whatsoever. How can you call them intelligent when they don't even know what condoms are? Cause they have no feelings. They are just dumb animals who are fit only slavery. They deserve the treatment we put them through cause sometimes, when animals don't do what you want, you have to show them whose boss.
And I'm sure anyone is going to give a rat's ass about some stupid dinos that lived past their time anyway. What the Whittier government does not understand is that we are right because no gives a shit about stupid animals, no one gives a shit about some stupid mountain or some stupid tree. All that matters is money, resources, and having free labor in the form of animal slaves.
Shangia is our colony to exploit as much as we want. No we didn't get the Shangian's permission. We don't need their permission, they are nothing but dumb monkeys and they have no rights whatever. We reject the notion that Shangians would even have a single human right.
They are resources and we have the right to treat them however we see fit.
We demand reparations from Whittier for the destruction of our "slave conditioning colony.
Shangia has no use except for the resources we can strip from it and the exotic species we hunt into oblivion for the amusement of our people. What we do there is no one's business but our own.
We demand the return of the Shangian fugitive that Whittier calls a refugee. He is wanted for the crime of fleeing slavery. We want him back so he can tortured and killed as an example to the slave monkeys who might get in their dumb animal heads to try something like that again.
We ask the world to reject Whittier's requests."

Shonshonia, if you do not release them, we will not hesitate to declare war. Oh...

The Following Is Decreed:

Absolutely NO trade is to occur between Shonshonia and Pythogria.

How can you support the release of the slaves? They are not even human. They have no rights. They are stupid monkeys and nothing more. We will not free them.

Very well. Do you really want a 300-foot-wide Kabalt on your governement building? We will oblige, you know. And really, animals, at least in my nation, do have rights.

Stand down, or you will be punished. A Kabalt sattelite is hovering over your capital at this moment.

Secret Communique
From Whittier government
To Pythogria government

We believe Shonshonia can be dealt with using conventional weapons as their military is rather small and ill trained. Also, we should note that they are still using 1950's era armaments.
We plan to start blockading them tomorrow if they don't give in to our demands.

A Kabalt is, i nreality, a conventional weapon. It's basically an orbital cannonball.But if they're using 1950 armaments... If I wasn't i na war with Kraven I'd go in and kick butt right now. Good luck, and if you need orbital support, do NOT hesitate to ask.

Shonshonia announces that in response to outside threats, we have rounded up 5,000 Shangians and executed them in various ways, including microwaving them, smashing them with hammers, having women in high heels stomp on them while they tied down, gutting them, and burning them alive.

Shangia is our economic colony. The Shangian monkeys have no rights whatsoever. We are killing them to prove they have no rights.
Further we have arrested foreign spies in Shangia colony who caught red handed trying to free shangian slaves from their pens. The spies, who were from Whittier, have been executed and their heads removed from their bodies.

This will happen to anymore foriegners who try to steal our shangian slaves.

The Shonshonian merchants were busy setting up their booths of various wares from shangian slaves, to gold bars, to blankets, to foodstuffs. The marketplace was loud with clatter in this small slave outpost in Shangia.

Ed Murket was the typical Shoshonian merchant. He didn't care for politics, he only cared about money. He was known to sell out his own friends and family for money. His thoughts were turned toward how to take advantage of his fellows to defraud even more money from them. He picked up a gun and shot and killed a shangian slave who had walked up and looking at his wares. "Filthy vermin" he said under his breath.

The skies were clear and blue in this prairie. A bonechilling wind then swept through the place. And in barely a minute the skies were dark and overcast, and it was suddenly very very windy. The wind was knocking over stands as products were picked up into the air.
Ed took shelter in his shop that was on the hill with the other merchants when all at once they heard the thunderous sound of marching steps in the dark and cloudy sky. And from up above they heard a dreadful noise, of people moaning in pain and torment and they saw the apparitions.
The shoshonian and shangian apparitions. The shangians were breathing fire from their noses, whipping and torturing the shonshonians who were trying to march away from them. Behind the shangian apparitions was what appeared to be a demon overmaster whose claws were made of steel. And he breathed fire. His horns were black and shiny and as hotter than you could safely feel.

A bolt of fear flew through merchants as this ghostly apparition thundered its way through the sky, the shonshonians being driven like cattle. And they could not escape the mournful cries that struck them with dread, "Woe is us." "the pain, it hurts".
As they ran right passed the merchants, Ed heard them eerily call his name:
"If you want to save your soul hell and the torment of this eternal death march, then merchants change your ways today, or with us you will march being chased and tormented by these avenging shangians and the devil through these never ending skies."
And the ghosts in the dark skies went on their way with dreadful mourning and suffering.
And the skies cleared up again and the wind died down.

Ed's pants felt wet. He was not sure what he had seen. Had he eaten some rotten fruit? Maybe something stale? But it had felt real.
The other merchants, struck with fear, had already fled the place. Ed was frozen in place his face white with frighte.

OOC: You can RP the Kabalt falling. It's an orbital cannonball 10 meters in diameter that explodes (conventionally).

IC:

"Very well, plebians."

"Helm, drop The Kabalt."

"Yes, sir."

A KAbalt Orbital Cannonball, ten meters wide, slammed into the Shonshonian Government Building, exploding in a blaze of glory. (Only conventional of course.)

IC: In the midst of Shonshonia, Army Base Bravo was devastated by the attack from space. With 20,000 casualties. The area 5 miles around the impact site vaporized.

This was followed by strategic stealth airstrikes by Whittier's supersonic attack Golden Dragon aircraft against military and slave trading bases inside the former United Lemur States of Shangia. The multirole strike aircraft targeted harbors, airfields, military barracks, radio towers, and roads.
A second attack squadron with more conventional aircraft, was starting sorties over the home nation of Shonshonia. They targeted radar sites, roads, railways, the harbors, airfields, bases, and government buildings including the house of Shonshonia's leader who turned out not to be home.

In a second wave of aircraft, 60,000 Whittier elite paratroopers jumped out C130's into the jungles and plains of Shangia. On the shores, the beaches around Shangia were rammed by submersible troop transports rapidly unloading their cargo 250,000 army troops and expeditionary marines who quickly came under fire from entrenched Shonshoni forces.
Particularly at Blllinkty beach where the battle was tougher than expected. Whittier forces lost 567 troops in that battle so far, though Shonshoni defense in the other parts of Shangia were collapsing.

Special Whittier agents were sabotaging powerstations and freeing Shangian slaves from their cages and removing the leashes the Shonshonians forced them to wear.

On national television back home in Whittier, government officials announced to the nation and world the liberation of Shangia had begun.
