Holy Empire of DoubleWideville Newsreport
In a move that has been long in coming, King David the II and the Assmebly of Ministers have declared Atheism to be an illegal belief system in the Holy Empire of DoubleWideville.
"Its is a contradiction and an affront to our God, Jesus Christ, for unbelievers and misbelievers to be in the Holy Empire of DoubleWideville. As such the Assembly of Ministers and King David the II, have declared Atheism to be an evil, deviant belief system" said an inside source, from the Royal Palace, in New Jerusalem.
This announcement from the Royal Palace and the Assembly of Ministers has caused a massive movement of Atheists trickling out of the borders of DoubleWideville.
The penalty for Atheism has been passed into law to be ten years in prison. Officials inside the Royal Palace and the Assembly of Ministers believe that this will procure the blessings of Jesus Christ on our holy and righteous nation.

The Empire of Katislov condemms the actions of DoubleWideville and will send a transport convoy to rescue and refugees that are escaping and take them back to Katislov where they will be given jobs and homes.

Foreign Minister

Official Statement of the Socialist Republic of Deurem

Who are you to say which belief's are right and which ones are wrong? Intolerance leads to violence and we cannot let that happen. Be warned any actions deemed "unjustified" against the Atheists will be meet accordinly.

Official Statement from the President of the United States of Amerca0

The United States officially condemns the actions of DoubleWideville. U.S. Army evac teams will be on station to evacuate those fleeing religious oppression.

Wesley Hunter
President of the United States

Official Statement from the Prime Minister of Dyelli Beybi

While Dyelli Beybi is a devout Nation with a State religion we do not support or condone any action to ban a belief system. Furthermore, we cannot see any logical manner in which a ban on atheism could ever be enforced. Unlike other religions which may hold strong views upon attending worship, Dyelli Beybi cannot see how atheists would not simply impersonate adherance to another religion and simply not believe in it within the privacy of their own heads. We advocate this path to all atheist persons within DoubleWideville.

Official Statement from the Glorious Benevolent Dictator of The NCLI Corporation, Lord Il Palazzo.

We deeply condemn the actions taken by the Holy Empire of DoubleWideville. We will be sending Our 1rd, 2nd, 4th, & 11th brigade to the border, and We ask the honorable leaders in other countries to join Us in a total blockade of the Holy Empire's border.

We intend to continue the blockade until this law is abolished, and the countries religious policy brought into compliance with UN Resolution #19.

Spokesman for His Excellency Lord Il Palazzo,
Mamoru Miyano.

We see why you would want to do such a thing but we cant see why you would put it in action!We christians were once peresecuted and now you wish to do the same to another religion!?(well atheism is as much a religion as bald is a hair colour but you know)I'm afraid I will have to unleash our orbital defnse platforms to blockade your country.

Your actions quite frankly disgust us. We must, in the name of human decency, condemn your actions entirely and completely. Your actions are belligerant and show all the competency of running a government as a monkey. Nay, that insults monkeys. Amoeba, perhaps, or maybe zoo plankton. Either way, we will be sending ships to remove the atheists the you have displaced - for the record, the head of the operation will be an atheist. And if one of our ships is harmed, then woe betide your leaders.

Shenyangi News Network:

In response to the recent declaration by Doublewideville that Atheism would be deemed illegal, Shenyangi government officials announced today that any and all Doublewidian Atheists are welcome to come to Shenyang to escape religious persecution.

This step is being reinforced by the Shenyangi government asking the private airline sector to increase the number of flights into and out of Doublewideville. This as yet unprecedented step marks a new page in the realm of government action to maintain the rights of citizens around the world.

We see why you would want to do such a thing but we cant see why you would put it in action!We christians were once peresecuted and now you wish to do the same to another religion!?(well atheism is as much a religion as bald is a hair colour but you know)I'm afraid I will have to unleash our orbital defnse platforms to blockade your country.
:sniper::sniper:
:gundge::gundge:

OOc: you cant afford orbital defense platforms.

OCC: Yeah, keep it realistic.

OOC: He could have like, 1, maybe 2 if he doesn't have a military other than them. Of course, you need a minimum of 3 for any kind of blockade, so that you can effectively encircle the target, but I digress. The whole argurment is moot of course, because it would be folly to expect a nation to buy 2 orbital weapons platforms, and then not have any military. Leaves you a little open.

From: Dictator Scharfetter of East Lithuania

Your Highness,

We disapprove of these actions, yet we will not take any hostile options against you. We move towards a more peaceful reaon. We will take those that are Athiest out of your country and will not defy them the right to free will of religion. Their beliefs (or lack there of) should not be punished. I hope you agree with us on this issue.

The NAS condemns this senseless persecution of its' own citizens by the government of DoubleWideville. Freedom of belief, or non-belief, is a basic human right, and to deprive their own people of this is barbaric and unworthy of a civilised state.

The NAS will welcome any individual or family fleeing religious persecution in DoubleWideville with the open arms, and open minds, which their own leaders cannot provide.

We wish to inform your nation of what will happen if you do not stop this persecution:
1) Your nation will be set upon by a ravaging pack of others, who will use this as an excuse to take your land and slay manh of your people.
2) Alfegos will not try to stop them.
3) Alfegos will call upon its many connections to bring down a much more decisive diplomatic force that will stop this activity.

We hope you will come to your senses. Until then, we cannot guarentee your safety.

Stop with the threats already. This is clearly a petty dictatorship whom will disappear in a week or three and never be heard from again. Every other week a tiny nation like this steps up into the public spotlight and proudly announces some stupid new law or act.

Just offer to help those displaced refugees and give them a good home and new life. Then sit back and let this "Doublewideville" fall apart on its own.

Further, to prevent this from becoming a global issue, the MIGHTY Blub Colony will be deploying naval forces to the region to serve two purposes. First, we will keep these trigger-happy nations from invading, attacking or otherwise harassing "Doublewideville". Secondly, we will prevent "Doublewideville" naval forces from leaving their own territorial waters of 75 miles from the coast. Thus recognized by the Blub Sea Treaty Act, Article 2.

After much internal debate and the subsequent public execution of Our former Foreign Advisor, Maaya Sakamoto, We have decided to take a more aggressive stance on the issue and purchase 150 Juggernaut missiles, which will arrive near the Holy Empire's border within 24 hours.

We will then wait for the time stated in the ultimatum from The Commonwealth of Bredford to run out, and when it does, all 150 missiles will be targeted at key military bases, religious centers, and administrative facilities in the Holy Empire.

OK

While the Godless Horde of the Tribes of Bagdavyushistan is in fact Godless, neither this nor anything else will prevent us from stating our ill-informed opinion on this and any other issue that we happen to run across.

Doublewideville, while your action is clearly intended to get a rise out of everyone else, it does reveal both your own hypocrisy and that of your detractors. Kicking people out for not professing your faith is not going to make your nation more pure. It will in fact speed up the seemingly-inevitable perversion of the faith that has characterized every attempt to join church and state. (Yes, I'm talking to you, Rome.) If Christ wanted us to use secular power to force people into His Kingdom, don't you think he would have told us so? Treating them as they treated us isn't Christian. Read Matthew 7:12 sometime soon.

That said, Doublewideville is your nation and you have every right to decide who lives there and who doesn't. What happens ion your borders is your own business.

As for the hypocrisy of everyone else ... think for a moment how ridiculous you sound. You say things like, "Who are you to say what's right and true," and then a sentence later you pass judgment on Doublewideville's actions, threatening a military response to actions that are not on the surface violent to the atheist population. Who are you, Deurem, to say that DWV is wrong here? If there are no absolutes -- and Christianity, not atheism, is based on absolutes -- then no behavior can be right or wrong. It can only be agreeable or offensive to you, and not necessarily to anyone else. And is being offended now grounds for a war of annihilation, Bredford? Way to show how much better you are than those awful intolerant warmongering Christians everyone's been complaining about the last hundred years, fellers.

Besides, as everyone -- or at least every atheist -- knows, all the smart people are atheists. So some of you others take them in, settle them, and put them to work for you. If the US can get a space program out of Nazi scientists after WWII, surely y'all can get something useful out of a bunch of "smart" people.

We are unsure of what these "Juggalo" missiles you are talking about mean, but we can only assume they are WMDs of some type. Thus, by proxy, you are threatening the Blub Colony with said weapons.

We will re-state our position. We will not allow the nation of "Doublewideville" to come under attack, and thus provoke a global situation. Instead, an element of the Colonal Defense Force Navy will deploy to ensure that the peace is kept.

We ask that all parties threatening war and strikes immedietly stand down. As for "The NCLI Corporation" your threats with WMDs have been noted. Don't wave your WMDs at us again, or we will be forced into taking action which you will not appreciate.

Official Statement From: The Democratic States of Xaphian



Due to the increased hostility from The Holy Empire of DoubleWideville to the Atheists, The Democratic States of Xaphian is now opening its borders to the Atheists that are deported from the Holy Empire. The Democratic States of Xaphian is thoroughly disgusted by the ignorance of The Holy Empire of DoubleWideville, and wishes that the Emperor of the Holy Empire of DoubleWideville will change his mind, and be more tolerant of the "sinners", a word used explicitly for people that do things against the guidelines of a religion, known as Atheists. And Atheism is not a sin, if you have ever read the bible.

We are unsure of what these "Juggalo" missiles you are talking about mean, but we can only assume they are WMDs of some type. Thus, by proxy, you are threatening the Blub Colony with said weapons.

Perhaps the Blubs would like to do a little research before they shout WMD and make threats of their own.

The "Juggernaut", as it is correctly known, is a Short Range Ballistic Missile designed to carry explosives of up to 9 tonnes of TNT in equivalence. We use them as fireworks, albeit expensive ones. Hardly WMD quality.

If we see the Blub colony take action against a nation that has done it no harm and has, in fact, not threatened Blub, but another nation, with semi-precise anti-bunker weaponry, rest assured we will take action that you will not appreciate.

Have some common sense, will you?

This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=541960) is a Juggernaut missile, and in Our opinion, it doesn't not classify for status of WMD, as it only affects a relatively small area, and the effects are short-termed.

If We wished to use WMDs We would use our Nuclear Missile, but we have no wish to do this, as we believe WMDs are for discouragement, not war.

Regardless, we never said that we would fire those missiles at you, we merely hoped that you would allow us to continue our operation, as we recognize your military superiority.

If you refuse to let us continue, we will withdraw our ultimatum for now, but continue Our blockade of the border.

OOC: Not too bad. Got some stuff taken care of, y'know?

Reply,

Ballistic weaponry or not, the missiles were referred to as if they had some sort of WMD type capability. One does not often brag over missiles that are a mere 9 tons of TNT.

Further, we did not threaten to take any action at all premptively against those nations threatening "Doublewideville". We simply stated that we would take necessary action to see that no one starts a war with them and thus cause undue bloodshed and suffering.

As you can see, the nations threatening military action have backed down. In the end, the Colonial Defense Force taking charge of the situation worked out well and there will be no warfare. We will restrict "Doublewideville" to its territorial waters and at the same time prevent invasion.

Perhaps everyone here will learn a little something about how to handle a crisis.

We are apalled NOT at DoubleWideville's policy but at the nations opposing it. The Empire of Gortania long ago destroyed not only atheism but religion opposing Christianity. And the Empire WILL come to the defense of this Holy Nation if the heathens raise a hand against its courageous act!

We never implied any WMD capability in the Juggernaut missiles. We intended to use them to destroy specific military targets, considering the high penetration ability of the missiles they would be useful for destroying underground bunkers and silos.

To show our intention to cooperate with Blubland, We will order the land forces stationed at the Holy Empire's border to intercept all incoming military forces from other countries.

We simply tired of the same old thing. Seems like every few years (Every other day RL) a jackass gets control of a nation and sets a course for self-destruction. The international community is always more than happy to oblige and wars start.

We would rather see this time at least, try to go over without much in the way of bloodshed. We will be allowing transport out of Doublewideville of displaced atheists and refugees of course, but will keep military forces to their territorial areas.

Considering Doublewideville's small size and limited capabilities, we probably will not need help. It's doubtful they would attack us for simply keeping the peace. However the offer is noted and appreciated.

You can tell your allies (NCLI) and such that we have taken no offense and that it was wise of them to not go full-bore into combat as many other young nations often do.

So instead of allowing nations like the Blub to push nations their own size around, Barronia will itself take to pushing young nations around? A nation as old as yours should know how to act it's age, especially when there are much bigger and stronger fish in the pond.

The Blubs have taken the right road, the warhead on such a missile could be swaped out for nuclear, chemical or biological ones fairly easily, and as such it is standard course to take all weapons ballistic in nature as WMDs until you are sure that they are not, which could be too late if they are.

While we have taken note that the situation has become much less tense following the clearing up of some words, we would like to warn Barronia that a much more, eager, nation could have easily jumped the gun.

Don't splash around in the water too much, you'll attract attention.

Keith Langsrig was finding the situation very amusing, it had been awhile since he had taken the time to watch small antions squable, the Blub intervention did kind of take the endge off thigns but the whole thign had it's priceless moments: First the random posturing over misaddressed threats, then nations claiming to soemhow have perfect knowledge of the DoubleWidevillian military and civil infranstructure, then people threating to fire missiles that could not possibly reach thier targets, even if by some miracle suffient personnel and launch infrastructure could be scared up within 48hrs...

Please. We fail to see where we have been pushing nations around. Perhaps you comprehension fails you? The Blubs are hardly a young nation by any means; they know the score, as do we. We were protecting the interests of NCIB, they preventing a conflict.

As it goes, we happen to be in the business of protecting younger nations - Aperture Science and Skamania & Duloc have both recently benefited from an import of Nakil Tanks and training for their crews, out of our budget, and we expect nothing in return. Furthermore, we are committing a large amount of resources to Aperture Science to rebuild damaged facilities and restart a nation's economy.

It is easy to find the faults, President - perhaps you would be better to look at the good we are making in this world.

As it goes, we happen to be in the business of protecting younger nations - Aperture Science and Skamania & Duloc have both recently benefited from an import of Nakil Tanks and training for their crews, out of our budget, and we expect nothing in return. Furthermore, we are committing a large amount of resources to Aperture Science to rebuild damaged facilities and restart a nation's economy.

It is easy to find the faults, President - perhaps you would be better to look at the good we are making in this world.

If they are simply preventing a conflict, then why did you make obvious threats against them? Also, the The Blub Colony is a a very young nation compared to your own in population, and even younger when compared in the amount of time it has even been a self-sustaining nation, which is less then 10 years in it's current form [OOC: he went inactive for a while and the IC excuse was that his nation collasped and then he moved to haven, only been there for a few months, so a few years ICly]

And I never said that your nation has not spread good throughout the world. I know of the good you have spread, which was why I was so stern with your threats against the Blubs, a nation can easily steer onto the wrong path with a single message by the leader, just look at British Londinium, or what is left of it.

Official statement

The Ariddian Isles firmly condemns persecution on the basis of religious belief and expression, or lack thereof. We urge the authorities in DoubleWideville to rethink a policy which is irrational, inhumane and counter-productive. The true followers of any religion know that the path to follow is persuasion through reason, compassion and setting a positive example - not discrimination and repression.

Further, I would be curious to know how the government of DoubleWideville intends to implement these discriminatory policies. By mandating attendance in religious ceremonies? That may enforce a sham pretence of religious belief, but nothing more. The human spirit cannot be coerced; atheists will remain atheists in personal belief, even if they must remain outwardly silent.

FROM THE EMPIRE OF GORTANIA

Making good on our earlier promise to support the courage of the people of DoubleWideville. (OOC: See earlier edict for this) We will do all of the following;
1.Announce a state of war between the Empire and those who attack DoubleWideville in any way.
2.Provide war and peacetime materials to DoubleWideville.
3. Attack any blockades or move to cancel out sanctions against DoubleWideville.
4. Considering our only other international commitments total only 10,000 we can provide 500,000 Holy soldiers to support DoubleWideville to be supported by armor and air forces (and sea if DoubleWideville possesses ports). The army shall be transported by similar means and the first 50,000 shall reach DoubleWideville over the next week and the rest over the month.
5.We will provide support to other nations who support DoubleWideville and who are attacked by the nations assaulting it now.

We go to such extreme matters to ensure the survival of this nation because we have seen few with the courage to purify their nations of the heathens that oppose our Lord. We BEG DoubleWideville to accept this Support Package
and fight with us to defeat the enemies of our great nations.

However, there is no threat.

As to the ding dong comment, trust us. You do not want to measure anatomy parts with us. We've casually destroyed nations five times your size and broken up alliances of nations with 50 billion population without firing a shot.

So, just go away.

*sigh*

We went to war against Old Hataria, a nation more than x35 our size at the time with a military close to x50 the size of ours. Not only did we fight them to a standstill at Leyte, but we threatened their shores with an invasion that forced the complete withdraw of Hataria from the Indies. Furthermore, our kill ratio was well over 11:1 in terms of ships and 6:1 in aircraft.

Later, we went to war with Old Hataria again. Before we had ever fired a shot, the entire Dominion Commonwealth (An alliance of about 60 billion) and the UFAN stepped in on their side to defend them against 'The Blub Threat'.

Several of the DC core members were so unwilling to fight us that the DC fell apart. Ceased to exist. A nation called Transvestite or something like that lead the charge to try to destroy us for that, but they and Hataria combined failed to defeat us.

We have a Blub among us who has single-handedly captured Questers Cyleon.

Now, we highly suggest that you take your ego, smash it up into a ball and cram it somewhere before it drags you to a place you do not want to be. You're starting to annoy us, and if you're trying to pick a fight with the MIGHTY BLUBS then you'd best get it in your head now that numbers don't mean a thing.

End.

From the Empire Of Gortania

To:Blub

The Empire does believe in a Heck for reference. regardless we grow equally tired of "Overinflated egos" And do not fear other nations. If DoubleWideville chooses to respond to the situation and Blub and other nations attempt interference to its policies and sovereignty we will move to stop them with all our power, if the nation does not respond or if there is no action we will not move either.

Good day

To: All Nations Concerned
Frpm: The Holy Empire of DoubleWideville
New Jerusalem, Zion Province

Greetings, nations of the world. It is my honor to transmit the message of our Great Emperor, King David the II to all of you regarding Operation Cleansing.
Operation Cleansing is an internal attempt to deport those who are treasonous and possiblt terroristic to our Great Christian Nation. As such, we thank you for relieving these dangerous heretics from Our Holy Nation.
These Atheists have actively tried to overthrow the reing of our Holy Emperor and challenge his Divine Right to the monarchy. These acts have consisted of passing out Atheistic propaganda and insisting in teaching heretical teachings of Evolution in our schools.
The Holy Empire was created as a homeland for those willing to obey the Scriptures, as enshrined in law. From it's very inception, it was meant to be a homeland for Christians, as Israel is for Jews.
It is a theocratic nation, ran for and governed by Christians. We call on the nations of the world to show restraint and to respect the soveriengty of DoubleWideville . This is an internal matter, and Operation Cleansing is to break up clandestine Atheist sleeper cells dedicated to the fall of the Monarchy.
We are not harming any Atheist, nor would we kill them. We simply ask they no longer infect our Holy Empire with their heresy and misbelief. We are a united nation that follows the DoubleWideville Fundementalist Church, and are governed by the Emperor, King David the II and the Assembly of Ministers.
Thank you for removing these violent riffraff. We hope they behave better for you then they have for us.

We here in the Fanboyist states hereby declare our support for our brothers in DoubleWideville. Any of you suckers who wants to mess with them will die, and will have to face the Fanboyist states full military power. Trust me, we have a lot of it.

I send this as an official from the Shazbotdom Marine Corps. While this doesn't need the attention of the Supreme Emperor or any of his Ministers, we feel that your threat is rather useless. If you so do attempt to assault us, your nation will be but glass after we get through with you.

General Steve "the Executioner," Generalissmo of the Fanboyist States would like to say in response to your counter-threat, as diplomatically and at the same time as rudely as possible, to bite him.

The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh, while condemning the actions of The Holy Empire of DoubleWideville, is also appauled that so many nations are devoting time and energy to this issue.

That said, anyone who has to adopt the nickname "the Executioner" to gain respect must be seriously lacking in some departments. I am sure you can all guess which.

Also, I am inclinded to agree with the Mr. Macmillan from The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh about your use of a nickname. You have some serious issues that you should consult with a Psyciatrist about.

OOC or watever: how did your country become 100% nonreligious? you would have to be opressing religious beliefs aswell

While top leaders in the Marxist State must be Atheist, we still beleive in the people have the right to practice as they please, including abstaining from such religous practice.

We ask that the right Honorable king to reconsider his position.

I reiterate my earlier statement of "BITE ME" in response to your remarks regarding our military. However, on the subject of the nickname, let it be established that I never approved of that. I have had that aide disciplined. All my initial statement was meant as was as my way of affirming my support for DoubleWideville's actions. Should they require or desire any assistance in Operation Cleansing, than they need only look to the Fanboyist States for support. I do apologize for any misunderstandings that that idiot (my former aide) may have caused. However, I do not appreciate the disparging remarks about our military. We've worked hard on it, and we are a dominant military force in our region.

You're an impudent little state, aren't you.

We'll change our position. We INSIST doublewide reconsider, and we insist Fanboyists withdraw their support. Our secret police can be very insistant

Our first and foremost word to the nation of DoubleWideville (even though we are usually more polite): go to your hell and stay there!

Besides that we offer asylum and citizenship to all fleeing atheists fearing prosecution. We will provide transportation to the evacuees if necessary.

You're an impudent little state, aren't you.

You obviously don't understand the meaning of "BITE ME," do you? And secret police don't work terribly well outside of your own country, especially against a well developed regular AND secret police force in a foreign country. Especially when the government there has the full backing of 99% of the population and just about everyone is on their guard against commies like you. Besides, I'm perfectly free to support who I wish.
And stop threatening DoubleWideville. Exiled atheists are free to live in a nation where their beliefs ARE tolerated, and the issue can be left there.

Public Decleration::Protectorate of Jinos

Precentor Martial Bradley publicly condemned the actions of the Emporer of Doublewideville.

In his speach he announced the Protectorate would cease any at all trade into the region, and he urged other countries to actively Embargo Doublewideville.

Unfortunately due to the involvment in the war of Tatom, Jinos is unable to mount a large evacuation of the area, but has sent a free brigade of transportation helicopters to airlift fleeing Atheists and other persecuted citizens out of the area to Jinos.

You really think that my divisions are 5 thousand? Think of it this way. My military is set up as follows: Company--->Division--->Fire Team. Each Company as 50 Divisions in it. I'm not going to break it down to fire Team because that would be irrelivent for this compairson.

Each Company has 3,750,000 Marines. Divide that by 50 and you get 75,000. maybe I should just send in bout 3 Companies in (roughly 11,250,000 Marines) in and wipe you out? With budget comparisons i'd have better trained troops that would drive through your lines with ease. Especially if your men were spread out throughout your nation while mine were slamming in on one shoreline.

A: We respect the fact that your military is considerably more powerful than ours. However, I would be compromising national principles if I were to cave into the demands of a communist nation, as I would be caving in to people who are considered criminals(or at the very least don't garner as much respect as anyone else) in the FFS. However, I thank you for the warnings.
B: We are free to support who we wish.
C: That comparison to Russian conscripts was offensive and completely unnessecary. We aren't that bad. Think effectiveness (in terms of resolve, discipline, and the like) of the army of the Holy Roman Empire under Charles V.
D: The division issue was borne out of a total misunderstanding of the Shazbotdom military organization.
E: Something that should be pointed out to all: I have never meant to support killings of atheists within Doublewideville's borders. The offers to them of military support were intended to be used against the terrorist cell that is destabilizing their government, not against civilians of any race, ideology, creed, or lack thereof.

FROM THE EMPIRE OF GORTANIA

Making good on our earlier promise to support the courage of the people of DoubleWideville. (OOC: See earlier edict for this) We will do all of the following;
1.Announce a state of war between the Empire and those who attack DoubleWideville in any way.
2.Provide war and peacetime materials to DoubleWideville.
3. Attack any blockades or move to cancel out sanctions against DoubleWideville.
4. Considering our only other international commitments total only 10,000 we can provide 500,000 Holy soldiers to support DoubleWideville to be supported by armor and air forces (and sea if DoubleWideville possesses ports). The army shall be transported by similar means and the first 50,000 shall reach DoubleWideville over the next week and the rest over the month.
5.We will provide support to other nations who support DoubleWideville and who are attacked by the nations assaulting it now.

We go to such extreme matters to ensure the survival of this nation because we have seen few with the courage to purify their nations of the heathens that oppose our Lord. We BEG DoubleWideville to accept this Support Package
and fight with us to defeat the enemies of our great nations.

THE EMPIRE OF GORTANIA


The kind offer of Gortania was accepted by a unanimous vote of the Assembly of Layity, the Assembly of Ministers and ratified by King David the II.
We thank our brothers in the Lord for this bold and courageous move. For too long the forces of heresy and evil have used force to silensce the Soldiers of the Lord.
We would remind the outside nations we do this based on their provacations. DoubleWideville has, and always will be, a nation of devoute followers of Jesus Christ.
It is our policy to stand up for the Faith, to defend persecuted Christians worldwide and to protect our great Judeo-Christian heritage.
As such we hertily embrace our sisters and brothers in the Lord from Gortania. We also accept help from Fanboyist and any other nation whicyh is outraged by the meddlesome activities of these forieng nations.
DoubleWideville WILL NOT EVER kill Atheists. There would be little point in it. Since they are all going to burn in Hell forever for their disbelief, we see no reason to hasten their inevietable doom in the searing flames of Hell. Our Great God will eventually deal with them as they deserve, and to their woe will learn the error of their ways.
Praise Jesus and The Father! May God protect our Christian Nation and pour blessings down on all who supports the Holy Warriors of God! I will keep you in our prayers, Gortania! Stay strong and remember what happened when the Philistine took on David! Praise God!

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
MR LARRY WILLIAMS
To General Steve
I have just been handed all the information reguarding this matter, and UN reports on what has just happene din your nation and I am disgusted.

So you call The Shazbotodm Empire criminals because we consider ourself Left-Wing and you were terrorized by people who don't like your rather blatantly facist regime?

I find that rather interesting. Last I knew, terrorism is used to scare the populace into submission for the leadership of that nation to do as they please. Which if I am correct, you are currently using terror tactics to force the popuation of your nation into dropping their personal beliefs in an equal society by threatening them with jail time.

This cannot be tollerated in the personal oppinion of the people of the Shazbotdom Empire. And therefore I am abliged by the people of my nation to authorize the acceptance of Communist Nationals from your nation into the Shazbotdom Empire under a temporary Visa. This Visa will be temporary until they prove to the people of the Shazbotdom Empire that they will be a productive member of our Society.

Therefore anyone fleeting the tyranny of your nation is welcome in the Shazbotdom Empire and any of her Colonies under the Temporary Visa Act (VA-0446432-995) of 2016. We will be sending a flight group of 300 Thunderbolt assault craft along with 100 Boeing 777's to transport any Communists out of your nation. They will land at a location you specify and will take out as many Communists as can fit on them.

So you call The Shazbotodm Empire criminals because we consider ourself Left-Wing and you were terrorized by people who don't like your rather blatantly facist regime?

I find that rather interesting. Last I knew, terrorism is used to scare the populace into submission for the leadership of that nation to do as they please. Which if I am correct, you are currently using terror tactics to force the popuation of your nation into dropping their personal beliefs in an equal society by threatening them with jail time.

This cannot be tollerated in the personal oppinion of the people of the Shazbotdom Empire. And therefore I am abliged by the people of my nation to authorize the acceptance of Communist Nationals from your nation into the Shazbotdom Empire under a temporary Visa. This Visa will be temporary until they prove to the people of the Shazbotdom Empire that they will be a productive member of our Society.

Therefore anyone fleeting the tyranny of your nation is welcome in the Shazbotdom Empire and any of her Colonies under the Temporary Visa Act (VA-0446432-995) of 2016. We will be sending a flight group of 300 Thunderbolt assault craft along with 100 Boeing 777's to transport any Communists out of your nation. They will land at a location you specify and will take out as many Communists as can fit on them.



OOC:
I am going to post a version of this in your thread.

I do not need to use terrorism to keep other's beliefs down in the FFS. People in this nation are by nature conservative(fact of life, I don't entirely understand why either) and the number of people who support a communist system in the FFS are a tiny minority. The terrorists I was referring to are a cell similar to Al Qaeda (so far as tactics go) that is using violence to force the legitimate government in the FFS out of power. They have used violent attacks against civilian targets, and as such the FFS is obligated to defend its citizens. As for extracting the small communist minority that wishes to leave, you will indeed be allowed to aid them in their exit from our country, if they so desire. I have never intended to prevent them from doing so. Erreston, with one of the largest airstrips in our nation, should be able to accomedate the large group you will be sending. I thank you for a civil resolution to this situation.

Addressing the criminality issue: That is simply the fact under the law of Order 93. However, the revoking of political privlages for the Communist party is really a nominal punishment, as no political party really has much influence in the FSS. That is also not to say that I myself do not respect you or your people, it is simply the prevailing opinion in the FSS. Again, it is an unfortunate fact.

As for military aid to DoubleWideville, I have taken the opportunity to allow the formation of a volunteer army to fight for your cause. The Blue Army, under the command of Special Commander Carlos De Vasto, number about 520,000 men in strength, and they are on their way. In addition, to help defend the commerce of DoubleWideville, I am sending a detachment of the FFS High Seas Fleet, including the Superdreadnaught FSS Francisco Franco to aid in the repulsion of any naval threats to your nation.

Your ally,
General Steven Grimmeberger, Head of State
