Official Statement from the Dunavian Transitional Government

The Dunavian President, General Agrin Dun, has in his wisdom decreed that the Dunavian State shall from this point on fully embrace her Orthodox Christian roots. In addition to mandatory Church attendance, all citizens of the proud Dunavian nation shall not be permitted to tolerate those who fail to embrace the true Church and the true Faith. Consequently, the Muslims who have for years squatted on the land reserved for true and faithful Dunavs will be given 200 days to sell their possessions and leave the country. Those who remain following this time period, and those who fail to cooperate with the authorities will be subject to the strictest punishments.

-Long live Dunavia-

Official Diplomatic Message

While the United States of Cookesland is utterly horrified by your lack of empathy and coldness towards the Muslim people, we would like you to inform you former citizens that they may immigrate to Cookesland. We will be building homes and help them get started if they so wish to come here. We will also support any military action taken by the Republican Monarchy of Granate.

We are appalled by your lack of passion against the Muslim People. They are proud and peaceful religion. Your utter lack of Tact and Compassion for what is a basic human right for freedom of religion would make a grown man cringe.

Should a single Muslim be harmed in the course of your foul acts we will seek to rectify the situation with the fullest of force.

“Dr. Darius Wellington, the Minister of Foreign Affairs walked into the office of Sub-Tlatoani Coyotepec Xoxoctic.” Sir, here is the latest report from the international scene.” The English minister said…“You may be interested in reading page 92 right now.”

The Sub-Tlatoani read over the report on that page, “Hmmm, a so-called ‘corporate police state’ expelling a minority on the basis of religion. Well, should we use the Egyptstanian doctrine?”

Dr. Wellington said confidently, “That’s what I would recommend; it wouldn’t be worth our time to do anything drastic right now.”

“Agreed.” Xoxoctic finished. “But keep an eye on the situation, we can ‘capitalize’ and look like we’re the good guys in this situation…”

The Aztec National League condemns this human rights violation and expresses distain for such irrational religious fervor. However, have seeing many nations enact this before – most of which are no longer amongst us; and seeing their mental inability to accept a more enlightened path, we will not take drastic action until we must. Simply, we will not conduct any business with Dunavia or give them legal recognition. However, we will grant all religious refuges of Dunavia permanent asylum should they wish to reside in the ANL.

We, and the socialist world will continue to monitor this situation.

For: President of Dunavia, General Agrin Dun
From: Secretary of State Elijah Ingraham, USL
RE: Expulsion of Muslims

Mr. President,

Luslyvania is most certainly not a Muslim nation, not by any definition. Most people here in this country support Christianity, in some form, and Luslyvanian Muslims often face at least small discrimination from those around them.

Despite how we feel about them however, they have a right to practice Islam so long as it is practiced within the law. The same holds true for all religions in this land, and we don’t legally restrict any religious groups without right cause. People here may call on the Lord in any way they so choose-if they choose to call on Him.

Having said that I wish to make it known that Luslyvania is appalled by these actions you have taken, and any Dunavian Muslims seeking it will find security here.

Regards,
Elijah Ingraham, Secretary of State, the United States of Luslyvania

OOC: Did I read that right? Egypstanian doctrine? Also, sorry about the crappy IC response...

IC:
While ViZion is not in the position to take in any refugees - something we normally would do in this situation - ViZion is glad to see that you are being reasonable by giving these people a respectable amount of time to prepare instead of simply turning them into slaves, killing them, or selling them off.

While we do not agree with your nation in expelling them, we also ask that other nations take into consideration their willingness to give these people some chance to gather their families, property, and figure out where to go.

Re: Expulsion of Muslims

The Halberdgardian government is outraged by the Dunavian government's discriminatory actions against a peaceful religious minority within its borders. The Dunavian government can certainly "embrace her Orthodox Christian roots" without infringing upon the basic rights of its own people simply because they do not share the majority religion. What harm can be done allowing a homogeneous religious fabric to exist?

On behalf of the Halberdgardian government and civilized nations across the globe, I would ask you, General Dun, to reconsider your policies. Should you continue with your discriminatory policies, this nation will have no choice but to consider other avenues of action. Our nation's borders are open to all those you have oppressed -- we will gladly accept your citizens if you truly do not want them.

TO: Kenneth Hawkins, Secretary of State of the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia
CC: General Agrin Dun of the Armed Republic of Dunavia
FROM: Nelson Neo Yao Yang, President and Prime Minister of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
SUBJECT: Dunavian religious expulsion

Dear Esteemed Sirs,

Speaking as the head-of-state and head-of-government of the United Sovereign Nations, I stand by the Halberdgardian Democratic Imperium. However, I would advise against the usage of military force to cease the policies of the Dunavian Armed Republic unless as a last means of resort. While the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia is indeed open to immigrants, the travel bureaus in major international airports across our nation are severely stressed thanks to what has been dubbed the Second War of Corporatist Aggression (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Second_War_of_Corporatist_Aggression) by several economic analysts, military analysts and political analysts of Southeast Asian origin and increasingly non-Southeast Asian origin.

This does not mean that Dunavians are not welcome and are forbidden to set foot on Southeast Asian soil. It simply means that it is advisable not to come to our country thanks to the current state of affairs. On principle, expulsion from a country based on the grounds of religion is heinous, and a practice that should not be done and is not done within Southeast Asia. General Agrin Dun, this in turn can turn into negative effects from an economic perspective as Muslim individuals both native in origin to Dunavia and alien in origin to Dunavia, along with non-Musilm individuals who sympathize with them are propelled away from your state's borders. I strong urge you to change your policies, as beyond an issue of principles and beyond economic repercussions, you can cost your state long-term effects politically thanks to such a policy inevitably affecting your country's political international relations.

Yours Sincerely,
His Most Esteemed Presidency,
His Right Honorable Prime-Executive Leadership,

OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM THE HOLY EMPIRE OF STEVID


Not long ago, the Holy Empire expelled all religions that did not follow the Christian teachings or follow along similar lines (Like Orthodox and Judaism). Almost one year after deporting almost all of the religions, intense polictical pressure from multiple nations including Kanami and several allies forced Stevid to admit the religions back into the country.

Ridding these infidels from your country means that the religious intolerance in your nation will fall and it will have many benefits but your international support will, and has, fallen dramatically.

Thus we urge the Armed Republic of Dunavia to reverse this measure despite the pros outweighing the cons. We are not against this measure seeing as we have been guilty of such acts and your soveriegnty allows you to do as you please- we shall not force anything on you and we shall defend your country if any foreign power wishes to force you to change policy.

Again we ask you to reverse the measure and emplore you to do so quickly, but if you decide not to change then we shall leave you be and will protest no longer.

OFFICIAL PRH-TT GOVERNMENT STATEMENT

We condemn the idiocy of the backwards, theocratic Dunavian government. Because my people know how it is to be discriminated against for not following a government-sponsored religion, we will be sending ships to take in any refugees who wish to immigrate to the People's Republic. Coming with these ships will be members of the Tejano Proletariat Army and the People's Security Bureau, to make sure that all refugees leave the country safely with all their possessions, as opposed to selling all of them as the government of Dunavia has demanded they do. Any and all chance this "Dunavian Transitional Government" had of being recognized by the People's Republic has been lost.

The United Constitutional Monarchy of Altanar acknowledges that the government of Dunavia has the right to run its nation as it sees fit. However, we strongly urge your government to consider the consequences of your actions. Already, your nation's honor and reputation have been stained by these acts of expulsion. We would strongly urge you to not harm any of the Muslim residents of Dunavia, and thus avoid the more severe consequences that outraged nations might choose to visit upon you.

Rather than see this happen, we urge you to accept the generous offers being made by other nations to resettle your Muslim population. Altanar would also be pleased to transport and accept any refugees from Dunavia to help resolve this issue amicably and to the benefit of all parties.

The akeme of the da~eist church of Rejistania replied with this letter:

In sign of rise,
The message of Christ is compassion. It is not killing nor hating, it is turning the other cheek. Jesus did not just die for an elite, a government or one party, he died for the entire world. This includes the Muslims, this includes the inikresaists, the nxenda'ny the atheists, the emacites and the excelites. Also making attendance in church mandatory will not make the hearts of the believers moral. Mykel Da~e has not found God in Church or by the guidance of a priest, he found God in the jungles on Tani Minokaje and in the Sejeseme kalesa.

What I ask you to is to read the texts, the work of Jesus, the visions of Da~e and see that universal love and not dividing hate is the essence.
Peace to you and your family,

While the Errikan Empire certainly does not support the sort of actions that Dunavia is taking, we urge all currently threatening military action to reconsider this course: these actions, though deplorable to you, are thouroughly within their rights as a sovereign nation, and, as such, you have absolutely no right to intervene in this matter. Taking in their refugees is most noble, though we cannot, but you should go no further.

Statement from the Imperial Palace

Though West Corinthia does not condone the actions taken by Dunavia this day, we must let it be known that our policy on the matter shall coincide with The Errikan Empire. We also offer this advice to Dunavia: rather than expelling all Muslims, expel only those who do not agree to recognize and live by your standards. I'm sure that some would be willing to embrace a second faith if it meant being able to keep their homes. Nevertheless, whatever your course of action, we shall not interfere-and strongly advise others to do the same.

We wonder at the mildness of your program, though you are better than countries when it comes to the Muslim question. Such a open program will lead to angry countries, as has been demonstrated.
It is far easier to make them disappear, as I have personally observed with our former Muslim problem.
Therefore, I would suggest that you cancel the expulsion and wait a few months. After international opinion has turned away from you, (and given the many problems of this world, it won't take long), begin to have them disappear.
If you want, I can send a few agents from the Presense to help you with the cleansing.
And finally, one last question: what do you plan to do with other minorities, such as atheists and Lutherans?

It seems we were misunderstood. We are not suggesting that you take no action so long as no harm comes to the Muslims through these policies; we are suggesting that you take no action so long as the effects of these policies remain within the bounds of national sovereignty, which "harm" is included in. Even if they were to systematically round them up, brutally torture them, and then hack them into pieces and mail these pieces to their relatives, all on live TV, which their children would be forced to watch, it would still be well within their rights as a sovereign nation, and you would have no right to intervene.

Those who commit genocide should be brought to justice by the international community." (also note that should Dunavia murder, torture, enslave, rape, etc. any of these Muslims, Ambrose-Douglas will bring them before The Pretemana Panel)

UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention gives the nations who have threatened military action full legal right to do so.

By all of these passed UN Resolutions, the nations who have threatened military action should these peaceful people be harmed have FULL RIGHT to do so.

We know that Dunavia is not a member of the UN, but these resolutions apply to us, not them. We can still take military action and/or bring Dunavia before The Pretemana Panel should we so choose if these Muslims are harmed in any way, shape, or form.

The Kingdom of St Samuel urges there friends from West Corinthia to re-think there stance on this international atrocity. Whilst it may not be other nations intentions to make another country follow the ways of the UN, what is written by the UN is humane and law abiding acts and one that a nation that may go to war would do well to use as the target of any military operation.

The international community must act together to stop the atrocities, and we do not necersarily support military actions. The Kingdom of St Samuel has already expressed its willingness to accept refugees from Dunavia.

Official Note from Suriga, King of Jenrak
Regarding: The Muslim Expulsion

Those offending nations towards the new political action against the Muslims within Dunavia must remember that although by force you may have helped religious, you have sufficiently destroyed the nation's sovereignty. As such, I warn those who have the loosest of fingers before firing that they should take a second look at the situation, and assess the problem to find a more valid solution.

Do not become a hypocrite of a nation, I say this clearly, to all those who threaten a country for expelling Muslims. This may be an issue should it be a majority, but a minority issue being expelled does not mean that it warrants political action. It seems to be a wiser choice upon the governing body, given that it not only will cement the country's pride and singular religious body, but also the decree seems to have stated nowhere that Muslims were actually being harmed, nor were they actually being forced to give up their faith. As such, it is more acceptable for model nations whom supposedly sport such grandiose histories of equality and freedom to take in those who have been hurt, the Muslims, and not to harm those haven't hurt, the civilians of Dinuvia.

Heed your warning? I think you meant to say "Heed our load of bureaucratic bullshit from not reading your statement".

We can still take military action and/or bring Dunavia before The Pretemana Panel should we so choose if these Muslims are harmed in any way, shape, or form." Perhaps repeating it and bolding it will allow you to read it this time.

All of the resolutions I cited allows the action we have been threatening as UN members. We have the legal right to do so, as is stated in these resolutions, especially Resolution #83 and Resolution #92.

From the West Corinthian Office of International Affairs

We are by no means condoning the action taken by Dunavia, but rather ensuring that their sovereignty is protected so long as they deserve it. There has been no reported "genocide" nor widespread abuse of Muslims reported as of yet. We wish to specifically emphasize this point for our friends in St. Samuel. As a sign of good faith, West Corinthian borders are open to Dunavian Muslim refugees, provided they agree to also recognize the state religion. Citizenship eligibility is another issue which will be looked into at another time.

We are disgusted by the comments made by the Blackhelm Confederacy, and will oppose them should their remarks lead to maltreatment of Muslims in Dunavia.

Lastly, I will address the rather arrogant president of Ambrose-Douglas. We understand what you have said, and will hold you to it. Our only aim is to protect the sovereignty of Dunavia unless they abuse the Muslim refugees. It is important that military action be taken following said abuses, not preceding them. UN resolutions mean nothing to us, though we still support the protection of these refugees.

There will be no need to hold us to anything. We have never said anything different than what we said in our last message. We understand Dunavia's sovereign right to expel their racial, ethnic, or religious minorities, no matter how detestable this action may be. However, as we've said all along, should any of these peaceful people be harmed, whether it be through them being escorted out or harmed because they refuse to leave, then action, military, legal, or both, will be taken.

To Dunavian Government
From Chancellor Lucius Blackhelm

We propose the idea of mass work camps for your Muslim population. We would also like to send over the 3rd Confederate Infantry Division, as well as secure a joint Dunavian/Confederate Air Base within your borders. Our forces will assist in the construction of said camps, the rounding up of renegade Muslims, suppresion of Muslim resisters, and, if need be, the defense of Dunavia against hostile foreign nations.

You do realize, of course, that such work camps can have you brought before TPP as well? Even though you are not a UN member?

Oh, and to Jenrak, no worries about annexation. Ambrose-Douglas doesn't want, nor need, any more land at the moment.
