Ever since the ambitious, progressive reforms launched by Sultan Fereydun II in the 1940s, the Sultanate of Divanzahg had been one of the most secular and tolerant nations in the world. Though the majority of the population was composed of devout Muslims, people of all faiths intermingled peacefully, and ethnic and religious tension were largely unheard of; in fact, marriage between people of different faiths was relatively common. Mosques, temples, synagogues, and churches all coexisted in harmony, with neighbors viewing each other with tolerance and seeing others as human beings, not as Muslims, Zoroastrians, Christians, Jews, or what-not. Of course, not everyone shared their example. There was, as there had always been, a tiny but very vocal minority of radical Islamists who were appalled by the secular government and its "decadent" practices, such as permitting the existence of liquor stores, brothels, strip clubs, and casinoes; granting full equality to women before the law; and reigning in the power and influence of religious leaders.

In Herat, 2,000 members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood - an organization where membership was punishable by death - marched in the streets, waving placards and chanting Islamist slogans, demanding, "Sharia now, Sharia forever," and advocating the expulsion of all non-Muslims. Thanks to a well-trained and all-pervasive security apparatus, military police were on the scene within moments.

No warnings were given; the officers immediately began mowing down the Islamists with machine-gun fire, gunning them down without hesitation or mercy. The beleaguered Islamists turned to flee, but could not hope to escape the barrage of bullets pursuing them. Within minutes, all but a handful were dead, and each of the survivors was gravely wounded. They were hauled into the back of a truck, to be taken to an interrogation center, where torture and certain death awaited them.

The Imperial Empire of Demon 666 lauds Divanzahg for its massacre of Muslim scum. It is high time that the threat of Islamic radicalism be destroyed, and your country has provided a fine example of the unfortunate but necessary actions that must be taken.

"Muslims are not scum, only the extremist ones - who follow a version that completely perverts the true meaning of the Quran - are. The extremists, who are Muslim in name only, and merely use religion as a veil behind which they mask their true intentions, deserve nothing but death."

The Senate, People, and Emperor of the Imperium Doomanum hereby congradulate Sultan Jamshid I on his glorious cleansing of the Muslim infidels. It is hoped that such just acts continue on the part of the sultan, so that his realm may be made pure from such vile pagans, for they do nothing but contaminate the lands in which they dwell with their Satanic and ungodly filth. Sultan Jamshid I has set a great example for others to follow in his purification of his lands.

Official Statement of the Federation of Oslea

The Federation of Oslea questions the reasons of why these Muslims were gunned down. They did not pose a threat to Divanzahg, they were only expressing their opinions. Non lethal weapons such as tear gas could have been used instead of killing these people. It isn't like they were waving AK-47s and firebombs to prove their point. They were only protesting peacefully. Therefore, the Federation condemns the actions taken by Divanzahg.

Offical Imperial Decree

The Empire of Gataway condems the actions of the Divanzahg government and calls upon the international community to impose sanctions against Divanzahg to deter the government there from using such force against protests in the future

The Nicksyllvanian Empire commends your heroic actions of destroying the Muslim Scumbags, and making the world safer for all of us.

We present you With this medal, the Imperial Nicksyllvanian Order of Merit. We will have it delivered immediately should you accept it.

His Imperial Majesty's Orthodox Court considers this act of needless brutality as nothing short of barbaric. Radical Islam is a threat to all Humanity and clearly we could have understood our mutual enemy better if you had simply interrogated them and attempted to find out where the rest of their strongholds were. With more hostages and more stories, you're more likely to get the correct information. More so at least than say a handful of mortally wounded whom will no doubt have more resolve to simply chant the Koran instead of assisting you.

This move was nothing short of ignorant. Please do try more effective methods in the future.

"We strongly reject the condemnations of our actions, as what we did was fully justified. We accept New Nicksyllvania with appreciation and our thanks."

SECRETARY FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The Commonwealth is now, as it has always been, commited to a policy of definitive secularism and remains dedicated to ensuring the total and complete seperation of religion and the state.

It is with this in mind we must totally and completely condemn this act of brutality. This act of genocide is not only an appalling attack upon human life and an assault on civil liberties, but a demolition of the central tenants of secularism.

The Sultan Jamshid I has shown himself to be a man wholey without thought or reason and a dispicable unenlightened tyrannt. To him, I must give the most sincere warning about how this Commonwealth treats those who assault rights, undercut the seperation of church and state, and commit acts of genocide.

In the strongest terms these actions are condemned and the government of the Sultan sternly warned.

--Sultan Jamshid I--

The Unfounded Alliance disapproves of the security force's response to the Muslim Brotherhood Protest that led to the loss of so many lives. However, The Alliance also recognizes that the response to a protest by members of an organization that is condemned by the government, with membership in the organization being a capital offense, to be justified on two bases.

The Alliance recognizes that operating as part of an organization held in such status as the Muslim Brotherhood is tantamount to Sedition. We know not about how others handle such, but we shoot propagators of treason and sedition on sight. If a trial is held, the execution process is typically quite spectacular.

The Alliance also recognizes that going out in public loudly proclaiming membership to an organization, of which membership is a crime punishable by death, is overwhelmingly stupid. By nature's law, the fools needed to die. As such, while the Alliance disapproves of the loss of so many lives, the Alliance also sees fit to commend the nation of Divanzahg by acting according to nature's law, and cleansing faulty genes from the pool. It is hoped that the removal of so many stupid people will improve the average intelligence quotient of the Divanzahg population.

Signed,

Chief Rising Owl
Hawkeye Ambassador, voice of the Grand Chief
Diplomatic Sector of the Unfounded Alliance

The Commonwealth of Tolvan, while opposed to reglious extremism and terrorism in any form, must strongly denounce this act by Sultanate of Divanzahg. The killing of 2,000 protestors who's only crime was expressing unpopular opinions is deplorable. While Tolvanis law affords convicted terrorists little protection, these protestors engaged in no illegal activity and held what appears to be a peaceful, albeit unpopular demonstration.

As a result the Commonwealth of Tolvan severs all diplomatic ties with the Sultanate of Divanzahg and withdraws its recogintion of the government of Sultan Jamshid I. In addition we will also impose economic sanctions upon Divanzahg effective immediately. All trade between our nations will cease and Tolvanic forbidden to do business in Divanzahg and companies based Divanzahg are officially barred from Tolvanic markets. Finally, all individuals holding Divanzahgi citizenship have 48 hours to depart Tolvan or they will be arrested for violating the Tolvanic Immigration Act.

Perhaps the Sultan will consider the consequences of his actions more fully in the future.

The United Settlements of Buddha C would to pronounce its disgust against killing these extremist, though we understand that you want a singular majority of peaceful Muslims so your nation will not be spilt, as we ourselves have followed such a path. Though, we rid ourselves of the Christian problem by sending them on a suicidal crusade for what the believe in.

Ciao Buddha's decision to have our nation stand on this issue is slightly advocating, but we advise you to get other nation's hands dirty instead of your own. This will allow you to have a clean slate while others take the major blow for such maneuvers and decisions. The cunning survive longest.

It is your choice or not if you wish to kill them. But if I were you, i'd throw them into some military prison somewhere so they won't be a problem for you. Although if ou want to make them martyers then thats your choice. Any backlash from Muslum Extremist Nations that you get is not the problem of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom, so don't come running to us when your nation is getting invaded.

[Message from the Office of the Prime Minister]

While I find the loss of any human life to be sad, it is my humble opinion that the situation in Divanzahg was handled in a fair manner. Had these terrorists been captured, they would have to be placed into prison. There they would have cost taxpayer money, thereby draining government resources to fight more of their kind.

I only suggest that the government in question stay neutral and stay clear of attacking non-threats.

Shazbotdom News Network
We have breaking news straight from the Colony of Alraibris capital city, Clatha. Today over 15,000 Shazbotdom National Civilians of Islamic background gathered in the central park for a rally against the killing of 2,000 Islamic people within the Nation of Divanzahg. The protests included people holding signs condemning the Divanzahgni Government for the unwarranted murder of the 2,000 souls. We now take you to our correspondant on the scene. Jim, are you with us?

Scene cuts to the park in Clatha, Alraibris

"Yes I am, Bill. As you can see, people are holding signs currently and there are some people who have even began praying in their native tongue." The camera pans over the crowd. It was the largest protest that the city has seen since it was colonized over 100 years ago. "Earlier we spoke to one of the protestors and they said, and I quote, 'those bastards in Divanzahg think that they can mess with the sanctity of human life? Well we will prove to them that here in the Shazbotdom and her colonies that we have the right to protest without being shot.' End quote. Also some people said that the government of Divanzahg are heartless bastards who enjoy killing rather than passing legislation that protects the sanctity of human life."

The anchor cuts in briefly

"Has there been any responce from the Government yet?"

Back to the field correspondant

"The Shazbotdom Government has already sent an official message out. It declares a neutral stance on the issue but did notify the government of Divanzahg that there is now a 95% import tax on all goods comming from their nation. Those here who heard that called it nothing less than an unofficial condemnation. The people here cheered when they heard the news of the Shazbotdom message. Back to you in the studio."

Back to the studio and the Anchor

"Thank your for that story, Jim. Today the Supreme Emperor of Shazbotdom signed the bill that officially put the 95% tax on the Nation of Divanzahg. In other news, the Prime Minister of Bolrasha was transported to Saint Johnothans hospital in Joko for immediate treatment of a blocked artery in his left arm. It wasn't life threatening but the doctors did the operation before the blockage could move from his arm closer to his heart. He is listed in fair condition today after his surgury early this morning..."

It was a long time coming, but when the Indian condemnation of the actions of Sultan Jamshid's government finally arrived it bore the fantastic weight of Soviet democracy. With eight and one third billion citizen comrades and more than five million Soviets this was a significant load.

But Raipur, not wishing to crush Divanzahg beneath it, coloured the criticism with a note of respect for the nation's past tollerance and its opposition to, "reactionary" modes of government (in this case, Sharia law).

Still, the Final Soviet calls the recent mass execution extra-judicial and as such illegal. The Soviet Commonwealth suggests that Sultan Jamshid rethink the manner in which he handles reactionary agitation, for the sake of international relations and the continued progress and prosperity of his people. Arrest and trial of reactionary agitators, followed by civilised attempts at re-education under detainment or observation or else by deportation of guilty parties would be inarguably the prerogative of a sovereign body such as the nation of Divanzahg under its civilised administration, and would not lead to such international outcry as the unlawful killings recently seen on the streets of that nation.

Otariet Position on the Herat Incident; From the desk of the Crowned Prince

His majesty – the rightful ruler of The Kingdom of Otares – recognizes the government of Divanzahg. As such his majesty does not deign to comment on the inner works of that country at this time.

His majesty offers solace towards those who have lost – but will not comment on the nature of the deaths. The Sultanate of Divanzahg is a sovereign nation and as such has a right to its own affairs.

His majesty will however offer warning to those who care to criticize the small nation. Whereupon does your own legitimacy rest? By what right do you speak to Divanzahg’s inner workings? His majesty would remind his counterparts in the world abroad that the Peace of Westphalia speaks against this kind of interference. Your expectation that your own citizens be loyal to you demands you accept a counterpoint – that you have the right to command. As long as Divanzahg is recognized as an authority deference must be granted.

[Official Message from the Office of the Prime Minister]

I find it very troublesome that a large, powerful nation such as Shazbotdom, has chosen that it has the sovereign right to judge the internal workings of another, much smaller nation.

Divanzahg, actually a shining example of peace and equality, is being unfairly targeted by the Regime of Shazbotdom. The only crime commited by Sultan Jamshid is the complete and utter destruction of a terrorist group. Unfortunately for Shazbotdom, it appears that this isn't a crime at all.

With that said, we can determine that the whining of the Shazbotdom Minister of Foreign Affairs is indeed nothing more than an overt show of support for revolutionary TERRORISM everywhere.

Because the nation of Shazbotdom is obviously so intent of interfering with the affairs of other nations, the LFA will do the same. Tomorrow I will introduce paperwork to the Senate in an attempt to place a full trade embargo upon the Rogue Regime of Shazbotdom.

CC: Leadership of all nation in The World
FROM: Mr. Larry Williams, Minister of Foreign Affairs

Our only comments to them were that they have killed people that WILL in some way become martyers to those others in their nation who wish to overthrow the government. Where do you get the idea that we are supporting 'Revolutionary Terrorism'?

Operations in the past by the Shazbotdom Marine Corps are only those of defence of our allies in the several alliances we are in, or assauls on nations who have illegally assaulted us. One example of this is a nation who nuked us without cause when we condemned their militaristic actions against a nation allied to us.

If you did know anything about our nation, you will know that we never have helped any 'Revolutionary Terrorists' in any nation. We've never even assaulted a nation with the intent of overthrowing the government so i'd just hush with your name slinging if I were you, because it will hurt you in the long run with most diplomatic relations across the world.

"Once again, this is of no concern to outsiders. To those we support us, we thank you; to those who condemn us, what you say is meaningless."


--Sultan Jamshid I--

SECRET IC:
SCENE: USS Babcock, 2nd HAVOC Naval Battlegroup
The Battlegroup had been on naval exercises when they recieved their orders. All of them were to return to port. Although the Babcock was ordered to to a specific zone. They were to do recon and radio servelance on a nation calling itself Divanzahg. Any news of the murders of any more innocents was to be reported to Shazbotdom Marine Command and the Office of the Supreme Emperor for informational purposes in case said information needs to be used to report to any alliances that the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom is a part of.

The USS Babcock then hit full speed away from the battlegroup towards Divanzahgni territorial waters at near maximum crush depth. When it arrived at it's target destination, it would use it's ballasts to maintain it's depth while an unmanned mini-sub inside a small hanger type structure within the sub would move close to the shoreline and tap into the communications grid of the target nation, giving the submarine full access to it's telecommunications and internet trafficing systems.

--International Waters Near Divanzahg--

Anytime the LFA became involved in an international debate, it was usual policy to have a small naval force sit outside that nations territorial waters for a few weeks. The Avisronite Navy had recently gone through a major refit, so it had more ships than it had patrol routes, so finding a place to park its deployed vessels was suddenly a challenge. What better place to put them than in a place they could see some action?

The 9th Operational Squadron wasn't a large deployment on any scale. Consisting of 1 Vedder Class Cruiser, 2 Civic Class Battlecruisers, 4 Focus Class Destroyers, and 2 Triefe Class SSH's, it was actually a fairly small unit.

The 9th OS had been sailing just 2 days away from Divanzahg when the LFA chose to condemn the spoken actions of The Dark Empire of Shazbotdom. Because the 9th OS had no real short term objections, it was redirected to a holding position just outside the territorial waters of Divanzahg.

SECRET IC:
The USS Babcock dropped to maximum depth before crush depth was reached. A small door then opened up on the bottom, preparing for the small 4 meter remote-controlled submarine to be lowered out. It contained a small 1TB encrypted WLAN transmitter which when it was safley connected to the telecommunications system.

It would take the Babcock roughly 7 more hours to reach it's desitnation.

As First Minister, I wish to send our regards to the government of Divanzahg, and wish to advise that, as this threat was made apparent more than two years ago, the practice of Islam was outlawed within the borders of our nation.

Should you wish it, a trade and diplomatic delegation will be pleased to visit,to facilitate commencement of relations between our two governments.

I await your reply.

From the Imperial Office of Tolvarus:

We fail to see why this has caused such a concern among the international community. While capital punishment is not practiced within the Holy Empire, it is considered by most to be acceptable punishment for national crimes. Since belonging to this group was against the laws of Divanzahg, it was a legitimate response to this protest. I would recommend that the government of Divanzahg look into other forms of punishment for serious - but non-violent - crimes, such as banishment or forced labor, our personal favorite. In addition to this, I believe that some reactions of other nations against Divanzahg have been extreme, and the governments of the nations in question should carefully consider the fact that they are condemning a sovereign nation for enforcing one of its legitimate laws.

The Holy Empire of Tolvarus officially has no stance towards these actions,

We are most dismayed at the killing of demonstrators in a democratic nation. Should the government of Divanzahg be willing, I or someone under my command can train the Sultan's security forces to identify threats and adhere to rules of engagement that do not permit firing on unarmed demonstrators.

First, we would train your troops to issue a warning to disperse; then fire tear gas into the crowd and make arrests. Further details will follow your response.

Of course, it goes without saying that no one should be arrested merely for demonstrating; this is how we deal with demonstrations that become violent.
