"Good evening from International Evening News, I'm Kristin Malaya. Mass protests are breaking out in Kurona right now, from the gay and lesbian communities, against the 65th, Line. For more let's go to our Kurona coorespondent Anderson Cooper, Anderson?"

"Thanks Kristin. Now for thoes of you who are unfamiliar with Kuronan Politics, the 65th Line is a split line at 65 degrees Latitude that dictates from where homosexuality is legal. Now on a map of Kurona, anyplace west of this line, west of Sonomi the capital city, homosexuality is legal, and only legal to thoes born and residing past that line can legally be seald as a domestic couple with out punishment by law. But doing so east of this line is infact illegal, and punishable by law. And this is enforced. But now many are protesting this line, and stating it's time to stop the ultraconservative stance of Kurona, and allow this. Many in the Raven Order and Royal Cabinate are still saying no to this, and are basically shunning out the protests. While we aren't sure of Princess Tomoyo's position on this yet, the devoutly Shinto girl, will likely support removal of the line. Let's talk to a few people here, hi."

Kaya & Masako: "Hi hi."

"So you two are a lesbian couple born and raised in the east, but broke the law, and moved west."

"That's right, we couldn't be appart, and I couldn't stand to marry some male cheauvinest Catholic, Masako makes me feel good about my self, and I make her feel good."

Masako: All our family is back East, and we can't cross that line with out being aressted, I miss my family, my sisters, my parents, my brother."

Kaya: "Me too. We want our voices heard, we are tired of being opressed by the churchislator."

"Well best of luck to you. As you can see the group contiuest to mass here in Sonomi marching proudly for freedom of choice Kristin?"

"So Anderson no word from the Princess of the nation?"

"Princess Tomoyo is currently attending a Grand Ball, at the request of the Cabinate, to rest and take a break and enjoy her self. Now most of the gay/lesbain community feel she would support the protest as she is a Shinto, not a Catholic or any other Christain denomination that would wholeheartedly condemn homosexuality."

"Thanks Anderson. Now this is sure to sper up a lot of support from homosexual communties around the world, and secular nations, stay tuned."

"Thanks Kristin. Now for thoes of you who are unfamiliar with Kuronan Politics, the 65th Line is a split line at 65 degrees Latitude that dictates from where homosexuality is legal."

OOC: Just to let you know, lines of lattitude are lines that state north and south while longitude is east and west. You mention east and west in this entire post, so I'm assuming you mean longitude.

Just a grammatical fix up.

(OOC: well I know but I'm thinking in terms of a vertical line, and west of this invisble line is where homosexuality is legal, but east it's forbidden. I'm sort of basing it off of the line in the U.S. that devided Slave and Free territory the something parallel I can't rember I think it was 45th Parallel or something. But instead of it running across it runs down. Think of a flat map with a big line on it.
As for tech level-Doesn't really matter unless your going to invade me. Just PT-MT I guess, you can read more about this on my NSwiki page)

((38th parallel divided the Koreas, Mason-Dixon line divided north from south in the Civil War (although there were exceptions, it was more of a slave/no-slave boundary), 17th parallel was Vietnam...

But we get where you're coming from.))
