King Priam has announced today the re-institution of a nationwide slavery program in the Imperial Kingdom. All undesirables will have their property seized and will immediately begin work upon a giant statue in dedication to the king. Among the undesirables enslaved will be: Christians, communists, homosexuals, Greeks, and infertile women. Undesirables unable to work such as the handicapped will be summarily executed.

"This day we shall begin a new era in which Troy will become the greatest nation in all recorded history. Simple logic dictates if you eliminate the undesirables from society, then all that will be left are the strong. A nation full of strong warriors is a recipe for instant success," Priam concluded in his speech to the Imperial Senate.

Trojan soldiers have begun storming the homes of those designated as undesirable and killing any political opponents.

State Department Communication
We are appalled at this obscene violation of human rights. The government of The Trojan Empire has 48 hours to cease these actions or we will be forced to use military action against you.

The North Parliamentary Republic of Uiri is appalled at the violence you have instated. We have nothing against the slave trade, but a former government banned it. Should you be in need of labour, Private Prisons and Labour Camps for the criminals and people in debt respectively are a great way to purchase inexpensive labour.

Edward Forgul,
Minister-President of Uiri

Encrypted Message From: His Imminence Harold the Cardinal Thousis
To: His Majesty King Priam of the Trojan Empire.

While personally we do not practice slavery, as elements suitable for such a vocation have been weeded out long ago, we applaud the initiation of your own program. It is plain to myself that you are a man of vision and knows the world far better then those who claim shock and disgust over this trivial and forward looking manner.

We do however protest the enslavement of Christians, they are a noble race a people above the rest you enslave. They have heard the truth, smash the homosexual, burn their communist allies but spare the noble of heart. I do not believe I can dissuade you from this course of action without something more substantial then my florid script. For that reason I offer you. 60,000 USD for every Christian that is spared and sent to Waldenburg, we shall not have them ring their hands to anyone other then God. If you do not accept this offer we shall join the others that condemn you, and in all likely send fleets against your Majesty should you refuse.

Signed:
His Imminence Harold the Cardinal Thousis Cenobiarch of the Holy Waldenburger Church

Official USSW Statement Condemning the Institution of Slavery in the Trojan Empire
Do you think this amuses us? To hear that not only our comrades in your nation are to be summarily enslaved or worse; but also Christians, those sexually-different, infertile, handicapped, or even merely Greek? And moreover, enslaved to complete a massive vanity project in King Priam's name or else put to the sword? Do you seriously think this amuses or astounds us in here in the United Socialist States of Wagdog?

Not. At. All. I might remind you of the fate of a certain Strator (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518037) who made an announcement similar to yours many years ago. However, in the interests of peace, I instead invite you to peruse the Theeb Accords (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=536111) as devised by our friends in The Free Dominion of Vetaka and the Questarian Grand Duchy of Aunesia; they outline means by which your nation could fund its projects without resorting to forced labor, should you deem yourself in need of such aid. Believe us, it would be far more conducive to the Trojan Empire's reputation to become a signatory to this landmark agreement than to remain in open defiance of it.

We ourselves have much to concern ourselves with, so we are not immediately considering military action against you. However, we consider our offer to be valid for the period of The People's Freedom's demands; if refused or not accepted within that period of time, well, then we shall not oppose whatever action the Holy Reich sees fit to take. Indeed, we may even support it ourselves perhaps; so we advise diplomacy on your part, King Priam. Believe you me, ruler to ruler, you would only do your ancestors proud in it.

The Sultanate of Loxomer is surprised by this news. We see no problem with enslaving the citizens of your great nation. However, we foresee a problem in the extermination of "undesirables" that cannot work. These people who cannot do physical labor would most benefit your nation if they did mental or other kinds of labor. Economically, this is a huge burden and is not necessary. It takes much investment in time and money to undertake exterminating people. It would be more sound to squeeze whatever you can out of them.

Also I remember A nation a long time ago that began exterminating "undesirables" and putting them to slave labor. Many other nations around the world did not like what they were doing and eventually that nation was destroyed by war and its policies (and leader) were changed.

Note that history tends to repeat itself so one might want to watch what one does.

Well, it certainly looks like you will end up staying where your location says you are already. Short sighted, stupid decissions have a way of comning round and biting one on the ass. Don't scream too loud, it's annoying.

The Errikan Empire, while strongly disapproving of slavery, recognizes your right as a sovereign nation. As such, we wish to purchase your Christian slaves, as well as some miscelleneous Greeks so as to spare them of slavery without violating your sovereign rights.

(OOC: Congrats to Waldenburg for beating me to the punch)

Enslave the Christians, but not the Muslims? Does the modern world not reflect the current status of radical Islam, or is your state simply a supporter of such? Though the Dominion has no qualm against this slavery practice, if you shall continue to flex enslavement against Christians, we shall be forced to blast your nation into plate glass. Desist with that group, and go happily on your merry way.

We do agree. Our education is lacking for the increase in military fight against foreign devils. We have engaged Waldenberg 2 *need to post there* once and a few other larger nations. We have sent only a small group to defend TRBI so yes, it was a good job defending against overwhelming odds. But then again, you wouldn't know, your nation is to busy condemning everyone.

Singular Dominion Response

And what a fabulous job your uneducated, brainless armies are doing against Waldenburg forces, who Amazonian funds would supply if Waldenburg national forces had actually needed them-small chance of that occuring any time in the near future (as in centuries). If "Overwhelming odds" means collaborating with a strictly military nation in the Ryou Black Islands and a considerably larger nation in Toori against the CFEI collaboration that is far undermanned, than yes, I suppose one could call that a strategic victory.
Apparently, our nation would not know about engaging larger nations because engaging Whyatica and the Kraven Corporation isn't considered a fight against "large nations." Well, that is to be expected...as the CFEI block is far stronger than the Kraven Corporation.

We hope if Wagdog's demands are not met within the timeline the UFAN, with the chance of assistance from Honakon Red Socialist forces, will aid in the destruction of this nations government - as remember, we do not wish to target the mistreated citizens.

Official Communiqué - Attention, The Trojan Empire

The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture, in its capacity as founder of the Free World Alliance, officially condemns in unreserved words the decleration by the Trojan Empire to commence the cruel and evil practice of slavery in their nation.

The Technocracy warns the Trojan Empire of grave consequences to their actions, and will seek the approval of the Governing Council of the Free World Alliance for the taking of preventative measures to bring about a cesation of these activities on Trojan soil.

While the Technocracy and the Alliance are not currently signatory parties to the Theeb Accords, we do fully respect all international instruments on Human Rights, and as such, would cooperate with the United Federation of Allied Nations and other international bodies that promote and protect human rights, in a unified response to these gross violations of the liberties and rights of Trojan citizens.

As your government is quite obviously incapable of running a civilised society, we suggest that it is changed, lest ourselves and the several other nations now involved in this change it for you.

We are in full support of both The PeoplesFreedom's and Wagdog's demands.

Now that the Maldorian problem is apparently settled due to their lack of further response, the Dominion would like to inquire about the purchase of said "undesirables" and normal slave populations-Amazonia can surely find a place for them in military intelligence, the corporate sector, and in our military. If you will not use them to benefit your own nation, we surely can.
This way, your nation can benefit from further funds and simultaneously throw off all the "freedom"-professing nations by sending off the populace that you dislike.
A fair offer, to be sure.

OOC so when will the OP answer back to you all

Special Address by President Friedrich Goldwasser

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/allanea/characters/goldwasser.gif

Greetings, Trojans.

Let me explain to you Allanea’s policy on slavery, in detail.

There was once a country named Yurka. After we asked –very politely – that they abolish slavery, we had a short war. In the process, eight hundred million Yurkans and somewhere around 1,500 Allaneans died. Two hundred million Zentians died too – they tried to defend slavery, and they foolishly thought we would not use nuclear weapons in urban warfare. They were wrong.

Then there were Banduria and Antanjyl. With Banduria’s navy at the bottom of the sea and Antanjyl’s 44-million man army surrendering to our landing force, we resolved the issue of slavery there.

Then there were Iragia and Atopiana, Gods Own, Kraven, Aoogah, New Albor, British Londinium - everywhere, Allanea’s response to oppression is one – flaming death from the sky.

Now Allanea turned her eye to you.

Let me explain this to you in simple terms:

End slavery.

End slavery within 12 hours, or Troy will burn.

Nothing – not even the violence Menelaus inflicted – will have prepared you to what our FieldMarshal will do.

The Sword of the Queen will stretch out over your land, and the shadow of Her Wrath will fall upon you. We will sack Troy and burn it – this time not with torches but with JDAMs. We will kill Priam and Hecuba. The Field Marshal will drag Hector’s body behind his car. The lawmakers that came up with this law will be executed.

Listen to me. Let this message sink in. You will either free every single slave in your country within 12 hours, or you will die. You, the individual Trojan watching this. You, with the pretzels and beer. Your wife with her hair still wet after the evening shower. The grandfather with his pipe. You. Will. All. Die.

The last days of your life will be filled with horror and suffering. You will see your cities reduced to ashes, your armies scattered on the winds, your loved ones crawling in the ruins, injured and burned, screaming in pain. You will see the Allanean flag wave from the piles of Trojan dead.

I will send in the Field Marshal of Allanea, and he will do our Queen proud. He will sing her praise with the pistol and grenade, he will speak of her beauty in the language of fire and sword.

Even as I speak, Task Forces Zealot, Liberator, and Southern Pride, reinforced by five Destroyer Squadrons, are en route to Troy.

But that said – Allanea is kind and merciful. End slavery now, and I promise you that we will allow you to live.

That is all.

May God bless Allanea.

From the Empire of Ama Xhosa to the Amazonian Beasts, greetings.

Our Empress wishes to know if your claim upon the Trojans' "undesirables" includes those proclaimed "unfit to work" and scheduled for execution by the Trojan government. We only inquire because, having made a prior request to claim to those individuals for ourselves, we'd like to avoid any mix-ups. We have already begun making plans for these citizens; as they are clearly unwanted by the Trojans, we fully intend to make valid and productive use of them.

Sincerely,

Xhorani Ama Xhia
Grand Vizier of Ama Xhosa

The Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)


Dear fellow Working class comrades throughout the world,

It is the opinion of this board that this "National Enslavement Program" is a violation of human rights, including the suppression of the rights of those that are other sexual orientations, the suppression of working class revolutionary activity and the suppression of women who are biologically impeded from fulfilling their familial desires, even the suppression of the rights of an entire ethnic group. It is disgusting, cruel and inhumane.

Therefore, it is the call of this board, that every kind of economical sanction possible and conceivable must be applied to the Trojan Empire by the nations that trade with the Trojan Empire and its ultra-reactionary cohorts as soon as possible.

It is the only way to show the Trojan Empire and its ultra-reactionary cohorts, that their gratuitous form of Capitalism, more extreme than all the other barbaric forms that make up the system of Capitalism, will not be tolerated.

In Solidarity with the Homosexuals, Bisexuals, Transsexuals, fellow Working Class Revolutionary Communists, Greeks and Infertile Women currently persecuted by the inhumane and Capitalist Dictatorial regime of the Trojan Empire,

The Members of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)
Port-de-Révolution, Communal Union of Noveta
3:00pm Novetan Standard Time.

A private message sent to the King's palace from Lady Sirithil - mostly in a soft, chiding, and almost singsong voice, yet even in this tone the Lady's voice resounds with power and has the very slightest echo to it. She smiles serenely throughout, her crimson gaze simultaneously bright and cheerful, and possessing a seeming ability to see right to the depths of the soul. Interestingly, she is wearing the same armor she wore to that long-ago duel.

"Ahhh, Priam, Priam, Priam... do you remember me? Have you forgotten us? So has the passage of years dulled your terror, let you slip back out of hiding and try this again? At least you have learned from your mistakes to some extent, and it is not against my people that you move now. I suppose I must give you credit for taking that lesson to heart, at least.

So the cold embrace of Mandos and the void have yet to claim you still, after all this time? You must be positively ancient. Your mind must be slipping away - it was even that long time ago - after these years it must nearly be gone. Why can you simply not slip away, either through death or abdication? Your son is many hundreds of times the Man you have ever been, and would be a much better king.

Yet our vigilance has not diminished, O King of Men, our fleets still ply the stars, our eyes are ever watchful, and we again as always stand ready to defend justice. Find again the wisdom you have long lacked - or turn to those who still have it - and turn from this path."

OOC: I'm presuming that our previous RP, whose conclusion was unfortunately inconclusive, ended in some relatively peaceful resolution of the situation, whether it involved Hector learning where the prisoners were and/or coming to his senses, Hecuba talking Priam into canceling the whole thing, Siri winning the duel but not killing Priam, etc. The exact nature of this resolution isn't particularly important four RL years later (unless you want to actually go back and RP it out), but it must logically have happened, since both Siri and Priam are still alive.

ooc:Umm there are no civil/human rights laws in NS unless you belong to an alliance that calls for and defines them amongst its members.

ooc:Umm there are no civil/human rights laws in NS unless you belong to an alliance that calls for and defines them amongst its members.

OOC: I get the feeling that we're not badgering them for human rights laws, so much as for the fact that we all believe systematic murder and slavery is wrong. Don't need international law for that. :p

OOC: There may not be in NS exactly, but this is usually grouped together in the actual game itself as "Civil Rights", and since these groupings are a report from the "UN", I have every right to make use of the language thus described.

OOC: Don't worry Gataway, you will get your piece as soon as it becomes realistically possible. But yes, let's now get back to the "dogpiling".

ooc: Oh well my slave/prision system hasn't come under any pressure anyways carry on with the dog piling cheers

OOC: As in using Prisoners for free labour? Carry on, brother, we support that. Deterance over Rehabilitation.

ooc: Oh well my slave/prision system hasn't come under any pressure anyways carry on with the dog piling cheers

Statement of His Majesty's Government
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/PraeflagIII.jpg

His Majesty's Government does not recognise the sovereignty or legitimacy of the present government of the Trojan Empire. In response to the criminal acts proposed and executed by the same, it is the opinion of His Majesty that, unless the aforementioned government ceades power to a freely elected assembly of representatives of the populace of the Trojan Empire, military action may be precipitated so as to bring about the necessary change by compulsion.

The Governments of the world exist not on the basis of their transient power, but on the justice of their rule. The Trojan Empire has ruled with oppression and tyranny, and as such has disqualified itself from the league of rightful governments of the nations of the world. It is unfortunate that such governments have been allowed to rise; they cannot be allowed to endure.

Further to the specific crimes of the present Government, its flagrant abuse of power has shown it to be particularly unfit to rule in a more general sense, and so aside from merely reversing the crimes it has found itself unable to commit in the face of such opposition abroad, it must abdicate from its position in the manner described. If this is done voluntarily then the government of the Trojan Empire may be spared justice and granted asylum in Praetonia. Otherwise it is doubtless that those who form this tyrannical body shall be held to account.


Taskforce 76D
2XX nautical miles from The Trojan Empire

There was silence on the bridge of the Tumult. Rear Admiral Laughton's orders said to anticipate submarine attack by over-eager foreign captains not yet informed of the war's end. It had not been so long ago that the nation had been poised on the brink of a war from which it was not certain King George's realm would re-emerge. Laughton himself had witnessed the terrible splendour of the King's navy assembled and put to sea - twenty thousand warships stretching further than the eye could see in any direction, among the most complex and deadly instruments of destruction yet devised by man. It was a sight he hoped dearly never to have to see again.

"We are within firing range of the Trojan coast, sir."

The Rear Admiral's current assignment paled in comparison to the task that had been put before him then, assured in the knowledge that the Grand Fleet would soon engage in a great battle with the Silver Skyian fleet. A battle that never came. Instead he was simply to fly the flag in some distant country he had never heard of.

"Alright, Lieutenant," he acknowledged, "but I don't think there is any need for that quite yet. Perhaps at least some of these godforsaken foreigners can be persuaded from their barbaric ways without resort to force."

He did not believe his own words, but the crew was on edge, and he didn't want to be brought before a Board of Inquiry for firing precipitously.

Admiral Laughton's flagship, a Duke-class battleship, was armed with large-calibre heavy guns that could reduce a poorly defended coast to rubble, even firing hundreds of miles in-shore. The remainder of his fleet was more conventional - there were two fleet carriers, three Victorious-class battleships with smaller but still impressive guns, a number of missile cruisers and a collection of air defence and anti-submarine destroyers.

"Any word from Kingston?" The Admiral did not yet know what the government's intentions were, but he suspected His Majesty's Exchequer would not have gone to such expense were it not resolute in its desire to see the end of slavery in Troy.

"No sir."

Hundreds of miles from Troy still, the fleet's progress continued.

All travel visas to and from the nation of Trojan Empire CANCELLED. All citizens of the Trojan Empire currently within the realm Vandaheim are hereby disinvited and have 36 hours to report to Kara International Airport for deportation, those failing to do so will be considered intruders to the State. Any citizen of the Trojan Empire within Vandaheim's borders may apply for emergency asylum within the 36 hour time limit. We are immediately dispatching 5 C-5 Galaxy Transport Planes under flag of truce to collect any and all Vandaheimian Citizens from the Trojan Empire including all embassy personnel. We expect the Trojan Empires full complicity in this matter. After sucessful evacuation of all Vandaheimian Citizenry and return of all complying Trojan Citzens, you shall consider diplomatic relations officially severed.

The Vetakan Government has always taken a understanding approach to nations practicing Slavery within their own borders. The Vetakan Government along with such nations as Wagdog, Aunesia, Honako, Aurum Domus and Kampfers worked with Strator within the City of Theeb to understand why Slavery was so attractive to developing nations. We listened and we acted with the formation of the internationally accepted Theeb Accords.

As such I strongly recommend you become a signatory to the Theeb Accords so that the full force of the Strando Protocal may be used to aid the Trojan Empire. As a good will offering the Vetakan Government hear by donates 500 Billion USD into the coffers of the Trojan Empire.

Vetaka is a peaceful nation however if you refuse to listen to the voice of reason we will have no choice but to act. As such we echo the demands of the The Peoples Freedom and Praetonia. The Trojan Empire should consider this message the Vetakan Ultimatum cease slavery, Join the Theeb Accords or face the Forces of the United Federation of Allied Nations.

Yours

Official Communiqué - Attention, The Trojan Empire and International Community

Representing the united will of the nations of the Free World Alliance, I repeat our demand that the Trojan Empire ends all slavery within their borders. If the Trojans choose not to heed the protestations of the international community within 24 hours, the Free World Alliance shall despatch a naval task force to the waters of the Trojan Empire with the mission to establish an exclusion zone to prevent the movement of slaves in or out of Trojan territory by sea or air means. All shipping and aicraft leaving or entering Trojan territory will be intercepted, searched and impounded if found to be taking part in this vile practice, and the victims evacuated to Alliance nations for what care and assistance is neccessary to recover from their ordeals.

The Free World Alliance is still willing to negotiate a peaceful resultion to this crisis. As such, we would appoint a Special Envoy authorised to speak on behalf of the Alliance who can enter into direct negotiations with respresentatives of the Trojan government. The demans of the Free World Alliance are as such:

1: The cesation of slavery and the practices of slavery on all Trojan territory, including legislation to outlaw slavery, harsh and punitive punishment for slavers, and enforcement agencies (funded by the Trojans and the international community) to ensure the complete dismantling of any slavery networks in their nation. As an act of good will, we further ask the Trojan Empire to hand over any data related to international slavery networks that they know of so assist law enforcement agencies to hunt down and dismantle such nettworks.

2: The passing of equality and human rights legislation guaranteeing the fundamental freedoms of all Trojan citizens, and the end to any and all forms of discrimination against her citizens. Further, the paying of reparations to the victims and the families of victims of slavery, and official appologies to the victims and their families acknowledging the harm and violations to their rights performed by the Trojan Empire.

If none of these demands are met, the Trojans cease slavery or enter into negotiations to end slavery, the Free World Alliance will activate its Joint Rapid Reaction Forces to establish an exclusion zone to prevent any further trading of human beings from Trojan territory. The Alliance hopes that the international community will support our efforts and aims, and we would be happy to coordinate or form a coalition with those parties who share our aims to bring about a proper respect for human rights by the Trojan Empire.
