KITSUNEVILLE TODAY


AKASO-"Battle of the Species is On" some are saying after a recent Bill to Give a Big Tax Break to Homo Sapiens in Kitsuneville failed in a total vote of 120-260. The bill would have also called for a repeal of the "Double Human Tax of 2000," which was directly addressed as "Unconstitutional and a breach of universal rights." The bill had been filibusted for months until it was finally put to vote Yesterday afternoon. There were several heated arguments on both sides and even some mudslinging. Bill Spearheaders Yuuko Arashi, Kayko Minashi, and Yuske Kuroda are extremely disappointed. "We need to stop the hatred and prejudice in this country," Arashi said. "How can the International Community take Kitsuneville seriously if we can't get along with Homosapiens?"

Arashi, Minashi, and Kuroda drafted the bill two months ago and put it into committee, where it barley made the vote to go to the Floor for Debate. Upon it's introduction Kuroda alleges the bill was always sabotaged. "When we put the bill up on the floor the Chair put it at the bottom of the agenda. By the time our bill made it up, several Reps would call for a caucus or a break or something foolish like that." The three Reps were also particularly frustrated by the Filibustering most notably Representative Katsuma. "Katsuma is filthy womanizing racist/fascist pig, and everyone knows it" Minashi said.

Represenative Koji Katsuma insisted however he was simply trying to point out the serious flaws of the bill. "There were so damn many earmarks, it took forever to get through them all." Katsuma said to us. I'd rather save our Queen the ink in her Veto Pen by telling everyone to revise the bill."

Other neutral Represenative listened to both arguments but agreed with Katsuma. Kuroda insists there were no irresponsible earmarks. "The bill wasn't only to give a major tax break but also put some money into their pockets. It wouldn't be a tremendous amount." Infact the bill would have given additional grants to Private Human Schools (many of which admit Kitsunes) and Human Interest Groups.

The reaction from the public has been mixed. "I think it was all about race." Said local resident Koichi Kambara. "It makes sense, everyone knows Congress are the most racist bunch in the country."

"Humans are the majority in the world." Said another local resident who wishes to remain nameless. "We are the minority here and around the world. Humans have all the benefits we have jack."

Farmers Aya and Takuya Nanri in rural Kitsuneville are also very upset. "We really need a tax break and some money." The Nanris are a human couple with five kids. However under the Double Tax Act they aren't intitled to the tax deduction for large working families. "We lost our crops in a storm a month ago," Aya said. "We've been really struggling to pay for the land, the bills, and the recent medical care."

Queen Sakaki Zeal was upset by the failing of the bill and encouraged Konguresu to reconsider the bill. Congressional Chairman Yui Kurosawa said she would consider accepting a revised bill if the vote to appeal is outvoted.
On the note of the vicious attacks against the chair and other reps, Chairman Kursosawa has appealed to the better nature of Reps. Arashi, Minashi, and Kuroda. Konguresu will resume January 10th of 2008.

KONGURESU BREAKS FOR HOLIDAY, REPS GIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT BILL

AKASO-As Konguresu breaks for the Christmas season in the middle of the controversy surrounding the failed Human Tax Relief of 2008 Several Reps gave their opinions on the bill. Many in favor and many against they are all convinced one or the other was right. "Seems like a poor way to bring in the Christmas season." Said Rep. Kaori Oda. "I'm glad the bill failed, if humans don't like it here they can leave." Rep. Yosuke Kamio said. Others declined to comment as to why they voted in favor or against the bill. Some Reps are saying those that voted in favor won't admit it so they don't lose their seat in the Konguresu. Others feel the Reps shouldn't have to explain themselves.

As to if the bill will be appealed and revoted on is something to be determined.
"It's going to fail no matter what," Said Rep. Haruka Nagami. "We should focus on the important issues, like Welfare Reform, not on Tax Breaks. Our tax rate is already low enough."

Chairman Yui Kurosawa has not offically stated if she will forward the appeal for the bill other than she is considering it, as stated in the feature article on Page 1.

State Dacha Observation Deck, Ariga, TSRT

Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Gromkyo nodded too Narmonov's orderly-the fellow had a fancy title, but that was what he was-as he entered the inner sanctum of the leader of the Totalitarian State. The 60 year old leader was looking over his papers on what was, what had to be, the Sub-Orbital Bomber project. It had been his personal obsession recently.

No sooner had Gromkyo shut the door then Narmonov looked up and said: "Good day, comrade."

Communism had long been abandoned in the TSRT, yet the word 'comrade' still existed. Old habits died extremely hard.

Gromkyo nodded, this time politely, and sat down. Narmonov picked up the papers on his desk, put them in his own desk, and then pulled out what appeared to be a newspaper.

"The Intellegince Commissarat was kind enough too translate this for us." Narmonov said, handing the paper over.

Gromkyo stared skim-read the paper. Some place called Kitsuneville apparently, a story about the lack of a tax break for humans. Gromkyo looked up at Narmonov, not knowing where this was going.

Narmonov said, in a tone that sent a chill down Gromkyo's back, "Those metahumanic bastards are persecuting our own species."

Gromkyo wanted to blanch, but didnt... mainly out of fear for what Narmonov would do to him if he did. He did note that Narmonov used the word 'Metahumanic', which was a derogatory term for 'None-Human' in Red Tide.

"Comrade General Secretary-" Gromkyo began, but Narmonov held up a hand. Gromkyo stopped, when Narmonov told you to stop talking, you better damn well stop talking unless you had a death wish.

"Issue a statement condemning them for their lack of... flexibility. That is a order."

Gromkyo nodded, when Narmonov said 'That is a order' he meant: 'Do it... or else'.

And Gromkyo cared far more about his own personal safety then he did about some animals who were not even of his own species.

Official Statement from TSRT
"The Totalitarian State cannot keep in its displeasure at the inability of the Kistuneville government to be more flexible when it comes to other species. We hope, then, that they will understand our condemnation of their failure to take conclusive action in cutting back a unfair tax raise on a certain minority of theirs."
End Message

The Kuronan Government is most upset by this news and would ask TEM of Kitsuneville to reconsider their stance on such policies.

Bump for Comments

Marfusa requests politely that you stop these outrages against the human species and that you will give them a tax break and if you do not we will take extreme action against this crime. Marfusan Minister of Diplomacy Arnold Klukas.

Imperial Statement:

We understand fully what it's like to be the majority yet the minority at the same time. But we found treating mortals the same as magic people equally under the law makes for a more productive country and boosts your standing.

Your Majesty, Madam Chairman,

From: Queen Sakaki Zeal 25th Queen of the Elective Monarchy of Kitsuneville

Mr. Secretary,

I received your letter dated 22nd of December of 2007 and read it over. To answer your Question about the Double Human Tax of 2000 you are exactly right. Since being elected to office I have asked Konguresu to repeal it.

The tax was enacted in the year 2000 under the administration of King Yukito Mihama and the majority party being the Kitsune Patriot Party (KPP). At the time the human population was only about 1% however it is clear now that the human population is 5%. It does charge taxes twice as much towards humans under the guise to fund their services that would be ignored otherwise. I know better, most of the country knows better it is a way to opress the Human population. But with power in the Legislative Body my hands are tied.

Cordially,
Sakaki Zeal

((OOC: This is a statement about the GWO's stance on non-human species altogether, not a message))

In the cities and states around the globe that fly the GWO Flag, Kitsunes are regarded as non-humans. In short, they are not granted citizenship, and are very much equivalent to the common housecat. The GWO practices a strong stance on purity of species. While it is ok for mixed ethnicities to exist, inter-species breeding is punishable under law. The famous "Furry" (Not including kitsunes) race is commonly set ablaze, as the government finds them completely disgusting, impure, and unnatural. In short, keep your penis in your genus.

Offensive Message Boils Blood of Rep. Katsuma

AKASO-With the continuing controversy surrounding the failure of the Bill to give Tax Breaks to Humans, a recent comment by the GWO has boiled the blood of Rep. Koji Katsuma allowing him to respond: "This is precisely why Humans are scum!"

No other members of the Congress nor the Queen cared to comment.

. . . not a message. . . .

Official Government Response

We should state that Kitunes are quite welcome in the Confederacy. With citizenship for any species considered sentient, Kitunes would be treats as any other citizen in the Confederacy. We ask that you ignore the tyrannical Grand World Order's comments, not all humans are so oppressive and closed minded to change. The cooperation of species in the Confederacy is a splendid example of this.

However, we must encourage Kitune citizens to repeal the double human tax. It is unfair treatment of humans as humans are a species that will take revenge for monetary mistreatment. Perhaps a referendum should be held? We could help administer this if it is needed.

From: President John Holtz of Holy Paradise
Subj: Tax reforms
Holy Paradise respects your nation's soverignty to make its own choices. However, we simply encourage you to take another look at the tax issue. This "double tax" on humans is unfair. While I understand that the majority of your citizens think humans should have to take this since they get breaks everywhere else, I think it would be prudent to stand up for what's right and treat everyone equally when it comes to taxes. The story of the Nanris family moved me, and if you do not pass the tax breaks, I shall pay for the Nanris family's bills out of my own pocket (I can easily afford it). Thank you and God bless.

Kurosawa Will Accept a Motion To Appeal the Bill


AKASO-Admist the heated comments by Rep. Koji Katsuma and the responses from the International Community Chairman Kurosawa has informed the Queen and the general public as well as Reps. Yuuko Arashi, Kayko Minashi, and Yuske Kuroda, that The Human Tax Relief of 2008 will be reintroduced into the General Assembly come January 8th. Chr.Mn. Kurosawa also will introduce a motion to put the bill under Emergency Law Status, enabling it to be signed into law immediately instead of the following year.

Reaction is mixed from bothsides yet again. "Why can't people accept the bill failed?" Resident Miyuki Tatsumi said.

"I'm glad," said Tsutomu Tatsumi (ironically husband of Miyuki Tatsumi) "I think humans do deserve equal rights." As for Rep. Katsuma he has stated "I fought it once, and I'll fight it again to see it fails." Katsuma who is eying the Chair for Summer's Congressional Election has been hot on the campaing trail by furthering the "Kitsune Interest," appealing to particularly those who have suffered at the hands of humans. "We're all just a science experiment to them." He said.

Two human residents also would like to see the Bill passed. "I did read about the Nanri family," said Rena Higuch "It was very sad and I hope for the best."

The Nanri family was asked about their life in Kitsuneville as minority humans.

"We love it here. It's a beautiful place, most people are friendly."

The bill will be put on the top of the Agenda and the Chair will not tolerate useless filibustering.

OOC:

Kitsuneville: Do you have a coast? If so, how far is your capital from the coast?

are you going to attack me?

OOC: Well... yes. Just gonna launch a precision strike with cruise missiles from submarines.

PROCLAMATION OF THE IMPERIUM

The Imperium of Cohenia is outraged by this downright human rights abuse on the human race. As you may or may not be aware, the Cohenian peoples are humans. Seeing other humans being unfairly treated by such vile monsters as yourselves disgusts us completely, and until humans are treated the same way as you monsters we will draw and quarter any and all Kitsune monsters in our nation! After they are quartered, we will lynch their body parts and burn all of the parts to the ground! Their ears will be severed before their deaths and fed to hungry serfs in our own nation, and they will be lynched and burned as well! Not only that, but we will take the ashes of the burned victims and lynch those and burn them again! We will record all of this as well, sending it to you monsters and we will hope you cringe seeing your race of yiffers being desecrated by the might that is the Cohenian Imperium! And you may ask what we will do with the ashes of the ashes. We will take the ashes of the ashes and turn them into a fine liquor, calling it "Furry's End." As we speak, the people of the Cohenian Imperium are learning of your attrocities and your wrongdoing against our race, and it appalls them entirely. An inferior race such as your own running around going "lol dubl tax on da humans look at our ears yiffyiffyiff" offends everyone in my Empire, and until it ceases we will offend your people and go as far as killing them simply because of your actions!

Until you can learn to treat a superior race to your own with respect, we will treat your inferior race with inferior respect. If you do not heed our warning, you will suffer the consequences of the rash human rights abuses in your nation. The thirty third Imperial Cohenian Air Force battalion has been deployed and are awaiting your actions.

That is all.

His Majesty the Emperor Ferrin I
Emperor of the Cohenias, Duke of Rosbaningrad, High Priest of the Holy Lands, Annexor of Estonsko, Father of your Daughters

OOC: w00t for crazy nutters going to war over taxes! Only in NS II could such lunacy occur...

(Yes only in NationStates I.I. would people go to war over this kind of treatment. Kind of makes me nostalgic of the cries of sovereignty)

The Principality of Kurona

Kurona being a primarily human-animeus population we can't really relate to the Kitsunes. We do sympathize that they feel like such a minority in the world but we don't condone their actions, BUT we respect their sovereignty. We don't respect those that threaten them.

A discrete transmission was sent as a simply inquiry…
While it has been made apparent that humans in your nation bear a ‘double’ tax burden are curious as to the real numbers. The UN report of your nation suggests that there is all but no tax in your nation. Are we to understand that your human population is still paying less than five percent taxes? Is your rate of taxation flat, or scaled? Are your taxes applied to income, consumption, or simply a head tax? And finally are allowances in the tax code made for poverty. A recent news story about a poor human family has begun to circulate in the international community – while we understand that their privacy is at stake we wonder, speaking hypothetically, how much tax people like them could be paying.

Please respond as there is some pressure from our citizenry to comment on the issue and the republic does not like to make uniformed statements and or decisions.

(Please, no invasions or direct attacks. That would have been like attacking America because they abridged the rights of Africans. I was thinking of a civil rights movement)

T.E.M. currently uses a Head Tax System to a fixed amount. There is no income tax but there is a sales tax on most products. Human however have been required to pay double taxation for all things, and some have actually been charged income. It's one of the darker sides of Kitsuneville.

(( Its been worse. we have had people declare war over pther people hunting whales :P))

-Message from The Lone Alliance-
This heavy taxation will only result in one end, humans will simply depart your nation, and without humans to obsenely tax, you nation will be in a defcit, renounce your insane high tax, they didn't choose to be born human, just like your kind didn't really choose to be kitsune either, having pride in one's 'race' is illogical, our minorty 'non-human' population is treated equally, but I guess you'd like us to tax all Kitsune in our nation heavily? Fair's fair and all that? However to prove that we are better than you we will not do that.


-Message to the rest of the world-
While we disagree with this condition of this nation, any attempts to attack will not be tolerated!

Today collections have begun to help give food and money to the suffering Human population in the nation of Kitsuneville. The high taxiation of the humans has led to suffering and malnutrition amoung the humans have upset several beings within the nation, which have begun a donation drive. The effort is led by Lornia Sakito, the unoffical leader and government representive of the nation's Kitsunemimi population. On an interview we questioned Ms.Sakito on her motivation for this action:

Reporter: Ms.Sakito why are you pushing for this drive to aid the humans of Kitsuneville? After all the majority of Kitsuneville are Kitsune, whom some say are related to your race.

Sakito: We have known in the past the suffering of those who are not the majority 'race' in a nation, therefore we understand what they must be going through.

Reporter: So you feel a kinship with the humans of Kitsuneville?

Sakito: Yes, long before our immigration here our race was oppressed from creation, in some cases, because of the mistaken belief of being true Kitsune, we were hunted down and constantly under suspect, knowing what it feels to be alienated in a country, we have banded to show that not all foxes hate human beings.

Reporter: Any other reasons?

Sakito: We hope to also provide a wakeup call to the Kitsune. We should all consider ourselves equal, if not in body, at least in mind. Kitsuneville should treat humans like you would treat the others in their nation. That is the correct way.

Reporter: Thank you for your time.

(Yes only in NationStates I.I. would people go to war over this kind of treatment.)

[ Only in NS do you have furries administrating nations, period. ]

"As one of the founders of the Anti-Furry Alliance, we in Bryn Shander find this furry nation's existance to be a crime against nature. Likewise, their keeping of humans as pets is a crime against humanity. We urge all the nations in the AFA to attack and destroy Kitsuneville and liberate the oppressed human population from their godless, yiff happy captors."

If the Humans are displeased in Kitsuneville, let them rise and change their Government. From our understanding Kitsuneville is a democracy and democracy changes with the people.

Open Statement from the Office of the Aequatian President

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/aequatio.jpg

To the denizens of the international community,

The Aequatian Republic applauds the nation of Kitsuneville for its efforts to maintain its status as a nationstate in the promotion of a single race majority, it is that which creates the greatest element of unity for a single nation. We have not seen any evidence that the humans within the nation have been mistreated in any way other than the increased tax rates, but we feel that this passive method of telling those of the minority that they are not welcome living there.

As a democracy, the people of Kitsuneville are welcome to change their ways of their own accord if they see fit and other nations have absolutely no right to enact their own will upon these people. The purpose of national sovereignty is to protect every nation from influence through force from outside of its borders and the Republic states today that it will openly punish those who seek to push their ignorant and xenophobic views upon this nation.

Signed,

President Holden Reid of the Aequatian Republic

(Please no more pure OOC statements)

On the phone Representative Katsuma was on the phone with one of his fellow Rep on the issues.

"If Makino or Zeal think they're going to make me change my mind about this I won't. I'll make sure that bill fails again."

"What are we going to do, the world clearly wants us to treat the humans equally."

"We'll figure something out. If it were up to me, the Humans wouldn't even have the right to vote."

"Well Koji how are we going to make sure it goes down?"

"If we can't get it to fail we can at least see to it that it doesn't have the effect Arashi, Minashi, and Kuroda."

"You know I could have them revoked from the House. With a little magic and work, we'll never hear from them or the rest of the Human Interest Party again."

"By the time I'm Chair no Human will have a voice in the House. All I have to do is amplify the anti-furry statements made by humans. We'll keep humans in their place, Ayame."

After reviewing the situation the state department released the following statement.

“We are saddened by the recent failure of the Kitsuneville legislature to repeal what – in the opinion of this government – is one of the mainstays of a systematic oppression of their minority population, namely humans. It is the belief of this government that the human population within Kitsuneville occupies a position just above that of indentured servitude. Concurrent with this new position the state department offers the following.

“First, a gentle reminder to the population of Kitsuneville that The Republic of Galene has an open door immigration policy and a process which turns away very few serious applicants. To the best of our understanding those on the lowest levels of the economy would benefit enormously. While the conversion is not perfect by our best estimate those who are being most injured by the Kitsuneville head taxes would be paying no taxes at all within the republic – though it should be noted that once rising from that protected status those immigrants would find themselves in a situation of being taxed at a much higher rate than they would’ve been in Kitsuneville.

“Second, we raise a challenge to the Kitsuneville government. It is obvious that you style yourself democratic in nature – but by all appearances you lack several fundamental policies to be truly considered a democratic nation. This sort of hypocrisy is a stain on any nation’s foreign relations record. If the government would open its borders to several teams of experts Galene could publish a report stating the situation to the world as it is.

“Third, by the authority of the Consul, the Senate, and Congress the state department does hereby announce that any trade between Kitsuneville and Galene which is NOT taxed to the full extend of the “Double Human Tax of 2000” will suffer a tariff to make up the difference. The proceeds of this tariff will be donated to human interest and activist groups within the nation of Kitsuneville. While we are aware that this is – in effect – little to no hindrance to your economy it will mark a massive influx of funds to the aforementioned groups. It is the hope of the republic that these funds can and will be used to both brunt the effects of the unfair tax burden and to provide humanity within your nation the opportunity to speak with a voice loud enough that it cannot be ignored.

We request further information regarding you sending a team into Kitsuneville before we allow such a request.

The state department would solicit four non governmental organizations to field a team of experts to judge your nation on its viability as a democracy and to bring light to the nature of what – based on current information – seems to be unjustified social and political repression. These four teams would report to an embassy in your capital that the state department would setup – both to provide logistical support for the current endeavor and to provide a more meaningful communications between our respective nations in the future.

Several organizations have expressed an interest in fielding such a team – not the least of which is several prominent universities and academies. Other such groups may include private citizens’ organs and or consulting corporations hired by the state department.

While it goes without saying that any group would have their own areas of interest, which is why the state department would look for four independent teams, Kitsuneville could expect to be evaluated on, but not limited to, the following: levels of education., plurality of government, equality before the law, equality as it occurs in society, economic opportunity, minority access to government, sensitivity of government to minority issues, representation and protection of minority interests within government, and demographics versus regional spending.

Once the investigation was completed the state department would release the report in two parts. The first would be a more succinct version which would include recommendations, and where appropriate, praise, and condemnations. The second part of the report would be the unabridged finding of all four teams – from which the state department based its findings.

If the government of Kitsuneville is serious about hosting such teams – at our expense of course – perhaps we could take the first step and have a Galenian embassy constructed within your capital so that the details of the study could be worked out between our diplomats.

-Message from The Lone Alliance to Kitsuneville-
We have recently gone through a fundraiser for the humans of your nation, we would like to request that members of the Lone Alliance Kitsunemimi will be allowed into your nation to distribute the donated goods.

-Private message to the nation of Bryn Shander-
To the ignorant leaders that run the nation of Bryn Shander.
Kitsune are a completely seperate race from humans with no connections between the two, they are more considered a spirit race than a human race. How this related to 'furries' which I believe are a group of freaky humans. I see little.

Very well, you are hereby granted access. Your men and/or women will be expected to obey the law.

-Message from The Lone Alliance to Kitsuneville-
We have recently gone through a fundraiser for the humans of your nation, we would like to request that members of the Lone Alliance Kitsunemimi will be allowed into your nation to distribute the donated goods.



You will be allowed to commission fund raisers with no interference by the Government. As such you will be expected to obey all the laws of Kitsuneville.

Foundation of Terran Tribes

To: Queen Sakaki Zeal, of Kitsuneville
From: Chairman Antonov Westwind
Subject: Tax relief proposition

Your highness, as I am sure you are aware, the recent failure of your legislature to repeal the Double Human Tax of 2000 has caused considerable uproar in the Foundation. Recently the Counsel of Governors as well as the Leagued Commons have both pushed for various measures to ease the suffering of the Homo sapiens within you nation. I am afraid that I must admit that some of these proposed measures are both aggressive and negative in nature towards the nation of Kitsuneville. However, such suggestions make up a very small minority of the will of the people. A large majority of the people of the Foundation have pushed for the release of governmental funds for the purpose of relieving some of the burden faced by humans in your nation.

As such, I do propose, with the support of the Counsel of Governors and Leagued Commons, that a joint agency be constructed between your nation and my nation to see to the fair and just distribution of privately raised and Foundation raised funds towards those targeted by the unfair Double Human Tax of 2000. As a show of good faith the Foundation is prepared to guarantee that it will provide as a minimum at least 25% of the funds required to alleviate the burden bared by your citizens who are targeted by the Double Human Tax of 2000.

The Foundation of Terran Tribes has full confidence that the people and legislature of the nation of Kitsuneville will repeal the unfair and unjust Double Human Tax of 2000 in the up coming months. Until then, the Foundation is willing do its part to negate the negative effects of this discriminatory piece of legislation.

Thank you for you time,
Antonov C. Westwind
Chairman, Commander and Chief,
Foundation of Terran Tribes

"Merry Christmas indeed." Sakaki said. "I'm happy these fund raisers are coming to the people that need them but what happens if we don't repeal the tax?"

"Don't worry mommy it will."

"It better or we're in hot water."

"They wouldn't hurt us if we didn't, would they?"

"I don't think so honey. We'll just see."

------------

"Fundraisers?"

"That's right Koji."

"Over my dead body."

"How can you stop the fundraisers?"

"Simple, look in the 12th clause of section ten of the bill."

"Yes it says bonus or cash awards or handouts will all be subsidized by the the Double Tax."

"Then we simply wait for the fundraisers to leave and then charge them double."

"That's brilliant Koji."

"I know." He hung up and smugly smiled and hummed a Christmas Carol to himself.

-Kitsuneville Capital-
(I'm assuming you have an airport)
The Plane landed sometime in the middle of the day, and like all nations it was crowded. The twelve person delegation had been set up carefully by The Lone Alliance, not a single human was to be in it, due to the obiviously racist attitude of the nation, instead the group was made up of Fox Humans with a few Nekos. After arriving on the arrival platform, they waited for some sort of government representive to meet them.

(OOC: I really couldn't resist (http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/3151/suffernotthefurfagvf1.jpg))

Almost nobody in Third Spanish States took seriously the existence of a nation of furries wearing fursuits for most of their lifetime who claimed they weren't human beings. Most thought it was some kind of Internet Joke, except for the Furry fandoms in Third Spanish States, which sent a message to the government of Kitsuneville.

From: EDDNet Various/Fandoms/Furries
To: Permanent Fursuit-wearing citizens of Kitsuneville and its government.
Subject: Stop the discrimination against non-Furries

Hello. I am one of the most famous Third Spanish States furries, and I would like to pass you this message as I admire the courage and determination of such a hardcore group which has literally immersed into furry fantasies of being humanoid animal beings. However we are aware of your intolerance against those who prefer to embrace their humanity and refuse to follow such unique culture and would like to remember you that in other countries the furries are also victims of a similar, though less intense intolerance. We would like to remind you that regardless of your fursuits, you are still human beings like them and both should respect and treat each other equally regardless of lifestyle. I hope this message shall bring you some enlightenment to such issue. Tolerance among all lifestyles, sexual preferences and beliefs is fundamental for a truly free and prosperous society. Regardless of considering himself as a humanoid animal or as a human being, a human should be treated fairly.

Entirely surprised by the answer, Atkins immediately sent a reply

"If you truly are non-human sentient beings, we would like to receive through electronic communications if possible a high resolution photograph of one of your kin with the mouth wide open, as it's impossible to fake an animal mouth directly over an human mouth. If we manage to convince the people of Third Spanish States with plausible evidences this shall be the greatest discovery in our registered history since the theory of relativity. Though a diplomatic commission would be even better. I can assure you our people has little prejudices and are very tolerant as they already granted antecipated citizenship rights to all Artificial Intelligences, which shall be activated should they ever achieve sentience."

Government Response:

This photo is the best we can do for you. It's a visual tutorial picture of what makes up a Kitsune. We used it when we first announced our presence in the world. We don't have Animalmouths we are mostly human, metahuman, just like Elven people.

OOC:Third Spanish States, there are several nations in NS that have a catgirl population, if you will remember Catgirls aren't furries, even the most infamous anti-Furry online group (You know who they are) accepts that. Kitsune humans are basicly the same, of course there are several types, the magical actual Kitsune (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/kitsune.html), the normal species (usually known as Foxgirls (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/foxgirl.html) but they aren't all female, and the geneticly altered. TLA's is made up of decendents the last group)
These non-human races(animal people (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/animal_people.html)) are a parallel evolution in remote regions, where it was either Felines, Canines (In the case of Wolf humans), or Vupines as the base evolution instead of primates.) ((All theoretical but quite possible if conditions had only been slightly altered on Earth.))

Lornia sighed slightly while a couple of the others tensed up, calmly she asked, "What is it that requires the DCI to meet with us?"
"Is it to make sure we understand the rules?"

OOC: I'm simply roleplaying the skeptic nature of the people of my nation which never saw a kitsune or an elf or any other non-human sentient race in their lives, and that furry thing was just a silly joke, OK? So, back to IC...

A large discussion sprawled over EDDNet Diplomacy boards regarding the question of the existence of a sentient race called kitsune and whether an official diplomatic contact request should be given as a chance for them to know whether it was some kind of joke, as some suspected, or not.

"Don't you see this all is a joke from someone in the Internets with a huge sense of humor? Request for diplomatic contact? I can imagine a bunch of people with a huge sense of humor using Spock ears and cat-ears arriving from an airplane! What's next? The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Invisible Pink Unicorn?"

"Joke? Why would someone waste such a time writing the whole culture of a non-existent race with such detail if the sole intention was of making a joke? There is at least some truth behind this."

"I agree, and anyway, how much would it cost us to send a simple official request to them, this might be the first sign 'we are not alone' among others, the cost will be practically zero for us so it's worth the risk anyway and we need something to brighten our moods as well, so regardless of being serious or not, this will be beneficial to us"

"I am doctor Saul Zwick Higgins and I am specialized in genetics. I assure you it's impossible to exist humans with slightly animal characteristics. Genes are not blueprints: you cannot make a giraffe with an elephant trunk by combining the genes of the giraffe with the ones of the trunk because there is no gene for the trunk. What you CAN do with genes is chemistry, since DNA codes for chemicals. For example, we could in theory splice the photosynthetic chemical processes from plants and insert them into human beings, creating a species which is not either on Animal or Vegetal Kingdoms, but something like that you are suggesting is impossible."

And the discussion followed heated among the boards between those who didn't believe and didn't wanted it, who didn't believe but wanted it as entertainment and who believed and wanted the diplomatic event to happen. After 4 hours the discussion settled down and the voting was begun. In a tight victory those in support of asking for a diplomatic commission won by 53% of total votes. Thus a message was elaborated for Kitsuneville:

Confederacy of Third Spanish States Message

Greetings Kitsuneville. Our people has reacted with an intense curiousity to what are still considered internally as rumors about the existence of your people and we have for too long only simulated through computer programs interactions with other non-human sentient races. We are offering you an embassy for diplomatic procedures. If you accept to send a handful of representatives of your government from the Kitsune race, we will immediately prepare the building located at the center of the city of Tucker for your diplomats perusal and transport them to there. We hope to establish long and fruitful relationships and that you shall accept our offer.

If a nation completely made up of non-human intellegence is hard for your nation to swallow, perhaps you would rather open relations with our nation as well, who have a human majority but can introduce you to our 2% unusual Minority group, as well as work to help us with understanding this strange alternate Evolutionaly path, as even though we have made much progress in some examples, we could always use more scientists.

Lone Alliance:

It's not a nation completely made up of non-human intelligence that is hard to believe for some, it's actually the existence of those beings. That's also why we offered a space for diplomacy. A diplomatic kitsunes group shall be also unquestionable proof that they exist for the skeptics. Our nation is actually quite progressive and many embrace transhumanist ideals as well. We are interested in a joint-research on non-human intelligences, as long as it involves completely ethical methods. We would be interested to be introduced to your minority. There is only one thing: regardless of being highly tolerant and respectful to non-human visitors there is no guarantee such cordiality will be granted for non-human immigrants as human behavior is still unpredictable sometimes.

(Everyone please delete the OOC stuff, it's uneeded and I believe the OP requested that we not have OOC conversations here.)
-Secret Response to Third Spanish States-
We understand, but once you see that it is in fact real, perhaps you would like to aid us in figuring out this parallel evolution of Mankind.

Once cleared the state department threw itself into the task. First and foremost would be the securing of a temporary embassy. After much investigation a very old and prestigious hotel was employed. The top three floors of the hotel were rented out and special modifications were requested to be carried out by the time the diplomats arrived.

The state department fielded almost 90 people for their makeshift embassy and congress granted them a sizeable operations budget for this endeavor. Galene had established teams into other countries before, but none which would be producing such a widely received paper. The team lead was a man by the name of Ammar al-Masri. Fit and lean Ammar stood at just over six feet. His neatly kept beard has started to grey and his eyes have started to get creased near the edges, in deep crows feet – despite what every physical appearances that Ammar might have to suggest a passing in age one could merely look to his eyes to be sure that the mind was intact. Intense brown eyes that seemed to pry your thoughts from you were one of the first things people noticed when they spoke to Ammar.

The first mission was sent three days after the Kitsuneville government accepted its presence, an impressive feat considering the under taking in question. As soon as was reasonable Ammar took two security officers and a half dozens members of his staff and loaded them into the plane he was granted. Announcing his arrival well ahead of time – so that a Kitsuneville counterpart could meet him at the airport – Ammar took the time of the flight to settle into his role – to think the thoughts of a diplomat so to speak. He turned to his aide and waited a moment until she had noticed his gaze.
“Tell me Sarah. What is on your mind?”
“Sir?”
“You are reading something and it is troubling you.”
“Oh, yessir I;” Ammar cut her off with a gently raise of his hand.
“Please if you will, Ammar.” Sarah returned his elderly smile seeming to relax slightly before him. She got a very comfortable vibe from the man, something almost grandfatherly.
“Okay Ammar. I was reading some of the other nations correspondence on the issue.”
“Hmm?” Ammar let her continue, to bring it to the point at her own pace.
“There are some really troubling messages here and while I know we are to have a more measured response – and distance ourselves from the extreme statements some of the more benign messages trouble me as well. Some of the other nations are making donations to human interest groups as well, and while I think it’s phenomenal I am concerned that, well sir. To be honest we are to small to make any massive changes to the situation I worry that if more and more nations make these donations that there might be a reaction within Kitsuneville.” Ammar watched bring her thought process about labouredly, seeking approval in each statement and inference. If he approved, or disapproved, he didn’t show it.
“What kind of reaction?”
“Well we are here because we are concerned that there is a systemic interest in repressing the human population right? Well if it turns out that is indeed the case then it sort of begs the question, what will the interested parties do when their efforts are frustrated?
“It is a fair question and I do not know. If it puts you mind at ease you can calm yourself by the consolation that we are not here to resolve the problem of human oppression in Kitesunville – we are merely here to quantify it. See if it exists, and make it tangible. If there is no response then you may relax as our, and the international community’s, charity made it through fine. If there is a response then our job as become much easier because we have been granted more evidence – and not only that following these actions back to their origin will make our report more complete.” Sarah smiled a little sheepishly, her concerns being wiped a way with one calm statement. “I know that it does not give you perfect piece of mind but remember, this is their country and we are just here to observe.” Ammar flashed a perfect set of white teeth that contrasted with his olive skin. Offering her one last physical reassurance before continuing “Have you been in contact with some of the pro-human forces?”
“Yes I have sent requests for meetings with those who tabled the bill which started all of this. Yuuko Arashi, Kayko Minashi, and Yuske Kuroda. They’re much easier to track down then some of the other non-official groups.”
“Hmm, hopefully they will have some idea of how to get use started on that. Tell us who we should be talking to. This Minashi, she concerns me though.”
“Concerns?”
“Yes, not very self disciplined for a civil servant. That said she will probably have some better ideas of which humans we should be talking to. She seems very invested in the issue.”
“Why do you say that”
“Her comment in the paper, it was very passionate. But I will keep my expectations to a minimum for now. I don’t know the local discourse – it may be normal to slander your opponent in such a way.”

The two of them continued even to the point where the plane taxied down the runway. Ammar stood and watched the security personnel go about their tasks – post flight checks and the like. As the went on Ammar wondered who – if anyone – would meet them on the tarmac.

The Elective Monarchy accepts diplomatic relations from the Third Spanish States and the Lone Alliance, and hopes relations will flourish between us.

-Airport-
Lornia sighed slightly while a couple of the others tensed up, calmly she asked, "What is it that requires the DCI to meet with us?"
"Is it to make sure we understand the rules?"

"The DCI is in charge of lower dignitary protection, we will be your guards through the country. We have a nice hotel set up for you and waiting, if you will follow us we will take you to the car."

"All clear."

They set them in the car. "Your hotel room will be close to the exists, all clearly marked, in the event of an emergency. Two guards will be stationed outside your room at all times. In the interest of safety we have a single suite rented out to you. Two Queen Beds and a pull out sofa, and a regular sofa. Armchairs, TV and personal fridge. If you have any questions or concerns you can call me at this number" He handed them cards. "I have also seen to it, that you may eventually meet up with Queen Zeal."

@Galene:

The phone rang Kayko picked it up. "This is Minashi, Merry Christmas. Are you serious? I see, well of course I would be more than happy to meet them. I see I see. Well why don't we all meet up at the Cafe Reps we can talk to them there. Absolutely, I'll be on the first train out."

"Do you have to go Mommy?" her small daughter asked.

"Oh sweetheart, I'm afraid so, I have business. I'll be back before you know it, you do as your daddy says."

"Okay." She kissed her daughter goodbye.

When she arrived her fellow Reps were there. "Hey Yuske, Yuuko, they arrive yet?"

"Not yet, they should be here soon."

-Enroute to Hotel-
"Wow, I've never seen so many," said one of the younger members said as she peaked out the window, grey ears twitching. "None of us have," Lenoia said, "With the exception of few nations, the only other mass groupings of those like us is Animalpolis, but that is basicly just a giant refugee camp." "Sadly," said one of the guys peering out hte other window. "But this should be interesting."

"We're here," the driver said as the car, as well as the other cars with them pulled to a stop in front of the Hotel.

(Sorry with Christmas and all)

"Sir? The system is ready," said the comm officer on duty for the day.
"Good, do we have communications yet?" Said the person sitting in the center of the room. "No Sir, she still hasn't given the all clear." "Well it is irony that the equipment for this sort works better on her kind than humans."

"'Her' kind?" Came a female voice from behind, "Sorry Miss.Li," the man said turning around and looking at the short asian woman looking at him. "This is my operation, don't you forget it, we will not let ANYTHING happen to them." She said sitting down in front of him.
"Yes Ma'em."

-Hotel-
The officials began carefully going over each suitcase looking for anything that would appear to be dangerous or suspisious while others talked with the delegates.
"So you have any weapons?" one of the agents asked.
"Your Customs took it, we had a single Tazer pistol." Said one of the males, a blond\brown named Marke.
"Anything else?"
"No nothing."
Checking over all the bags they finally reached the last member, a short neko girl named Marie who had been staring at the floor when they arrived.
"Miss?"
"Oh. oh yes sorry, All I have in my bags are our laptops." she said, bowing and opening the case to show them.
After a quick look over the bag to see that it contained nothing but computer and some other techincal equipment the officials concluded their investigation.

"We would like to know if we can arrange a meeting with Queen Zeal sometime tomorrow." Lornia said as they begin to leave. "Since our relief donations should be arriving late tomorrow."

"We will ask about that." one said as he walked out.
Two other DCI member looked in real quick,
"We're the guards stationed to protect you from possible threats, we'll be right outside, just let us know if something is the matter."

"Thank you," Lornia said, shutting the door soon after so they could unpack.

To:Queen Sakaki Zeal, of Kitsuneville
From: President John Arnold, Prussian Republic of Calizorinstan

We wish to inquire as to why there is a double tax on Humans, especially since some of them are low income. I would highly discourage you from letting the repeal fail, since there will be consequences from the action of vetoing the bill. The human race in your nation may be angered at this, and as such, may start a revolution not unlike the Russian Revolution, and you may find that your actions may have loads of consequences you've never dreamed of.

I would like to encourage you do promote this repeal, so that the humans in your nation will be happy once again. If it fails, I will not do anything, but mourn for the failure of the repeal, for it was your only chance of preventing humans from leaving Kitsuneville.

I regret to tell you this, but if the humans leave, there will likely be no more humans moving in, since they will hear of this double tax.

Mr. President,

I have received your letter dated the above. You must understand it's not my call. I am the Queen but I'm not an absolute monarch. I have been elected to rule, my power is what it is. It will be up to Konguresu to decide. I wouldn't full veto a repeal of the bill but I can't stop bills from failing. We are a democracy.

Truly,

Emma Goldman International Airport, Tucker, 8:00 AM

It was an unusually weird sight around. The 767 was ready to embark with several diplomats as among several curious average people, a handful of 4chan TV (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=1590&view=findpost&p=2717762) /b/tards was in the airport "for the LULZ". Shouting Internet memes, wavering weird banners and turning on OGG players with "Banana Phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wky5H1xC6-I)".

Susaine Hoffman, a tall 30 years old woman of long curly blonde hair, brown eyes and average build, simply tried to keep herself serious as she headed to the Boeing, while the rest of the diplomatic crew was already on board to depart to Kitsuneville. Looking at the young teenagers she simply smiled sarcastically as they started to throw insults against her. Eventually shouted "Get a life while you can!" before getting onboard.

"Whew! What a troupe of retards...", she said as she took a seat near her friends and work colleagues.
"The price of absolute freedom of expression... and of having the Internet as a TV broadcasting system. But those will mature once they grow older, don't worry", a black man on his twenties commented as he greeted her.
"Well, Carlos, it seems unlikely. So how much will this travel take? I hope we won't waste our time, because I still have reservations to accept the existence of non-human sentient beings without seeing them with my own eyes", she asked.
"I suppose it'll take five hours, good thing there is a good service here.", he replied

"Attention passengers of flight 2820 of Tucker Unified Airlines 767 diplomatic, fasten your seatbelts, the plane is taking off in 10 seconds[...] In case of emergency there are enough parachutes for all passengers and crew, to use a parachute you must[...]The chances of such an accident happening are of 0.001%", the airplane text-to-speech system said as they took off.

A few hours later...

The Diplomats were using their notebooks to play Cold War: Mutually Assured Destruction among themselves. They were playing with Soviet Union, USA, Vietnam, North and South Korea in a Cold War scenario
"Hah! 2 hours and one of you already went MAD! Do you forget you are diplomats when you play games which involve simulated diplomacy?", Susaine shrugged as the game was prematurely ended with no winners as in the 24th turn of the game the Soviet Union player nuked US and everything was destroyed.
"Nuclear weapons are bad both in strategy games like this one and in reality, and all those fancy SDI projects are far from perfect, they always have one or another drawback so nuking someone is making an entire nation the equivalent of a suicide bomber!", she explained. "Now I'm going to get something to eat, you?", she added as she turned off her notebook and got up to the cafeteria.
"I'm not hungry and I'm curious about Kitsuneville culinary, provided all of this is serious", Carlos replied.
"All right, I'm coming back soon then", Susaine replied.
She came back with a salmon empanada and a can of Cocaine Cola
"Susaine! Are you going to drink this? Are you mad?", Carlos frowned.
"Calm down, only one has too little amounts of cocaine to have really significant effects and today we are only going to an hotel anyway.", she said, cleary distressed.
"That's what all junkies say! I bet 100 mutualist credits you are going to ask more and more of those until you pass out! And don't bring this stuff with you after disembarking! We don't know their laws on drugs!"
"Ah! Come one Carlos! I drink this for years and do I look like a lifeless junkie?"
"All right! All right Susaine!", he shrugged, "If you do something shameful enough to call the attention of the local media while you are 'high', don't complain I didn't warn you!"
"I'm not going to do anything weird", she said as she ate the empanada and drank the Cocaine Cola. They continued their travel afterwards.

More some hours later...

"Hey... what is up?", Susaine asked as her view as distorted and her senses numbed. Someone was holding her on the shoulders to help her walk
"I warned you to not drink that cocaine-cola, it was the first of the ten cans you drank during the travel, now keep walking", Carlos shrugged as they disembarked, carrying her with the help of another diplomat to the Kitsuneville airport Customs office.
"People with cat ears... I drank too much of that cola...", she said, aware of her state of mind and thinking they were hallucinations.
Carlos was dying of shame as the arrived at the Customs, while one of them was recording everything with a camera to send as a proof those kitsunes really existed. They arrived at the Customs desk when Carlos said to the clerk
"Uh, we are the diplomatic team of Third Spanish States, here our passports and documents", he said, as the other three gave their documents and Carlos held Susaine's documents with him.

Emma Goldman International Airport, Tucker, 8:00 AM

It was an unusually weird sight around. The 767 was ready to embark with several diplomats as among several curious average people, a handful of 4chan TV (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=1590&view=findpost&p=2717762) /b/tards was in the airport "for the LULZ". Shouting Internet memes, wavering weird banners and turning on OGG players with "Banana Phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wky5H1xC6-I)".

Susaine Hoffman, a tall 30 years old woman of long curly blonde hair, brown eyes and average build, simply tried to keep herself serious as she headed to the Boeing, while the rest of the diplomatic crew was already on board to depart to Kitsuneville. Looking at the young teenagers she simply smiled sarcastically as they started to throw insults against her. Eventually shouted "Get a life while you can!" before getting onboard.

"Whew! What a troupe of retards...", she said as she took a seat near her friends and work colleagues.
"The price of absolute freedom of expression... and of having the Internet as a TV broadcasting system. But those will mature once they grow older, don't worry", a black man on his twenties commented as he greeted her.
"Well, Carlos, it seems unlikely. So how much will this travel take? I hope we won't waste our time, because I still have reservations to accept the existence of non-human sentient beings without seeing them with my own eyes", she asked.
"I suppose it'll take five hours, good thing there is a good service here.", he replied

"Uh, we are the diplomatic team of Third Spanish States, here our passports and documents", he said, as the other three gave their documents and Carlos held Susaine's documents with him.


The attendant stamped their passports after running a check. "All set. Welcome to Kitsuneville. Please proceed to the next desk"

"Thank you", Carlos replied as he helped Susaine to walk to the next desk as instructed, and greeted the clerk before another one...
"See ya cat ears people. What a trip this time.", Susaine said.
Carlos frowned then and tried to keep his posture:
"Susaine, please, just stay quiet and relax, just don't say anything."
"All right...what the hell is that thing on the ground? There?", she replied as she pointed to nothing, she was having another delirium tremens
He simply put his palm on his face and shrugged, then calmed down to speak again to the clerk.

"Greetings! Well, sorry for my partner here, she had too much of drinks during her travel."

"I see. Well here is a complete list of what substances are legal in Kitsuneville. If you have anything that is prohibited such as drugs, certain fruits, veggies, or animals, you must leave them here. Smoking around children under 19 years of age is a felony. Providing alcohol or tobacco products to persons under 21 is a felony. Please keep smoking in designated areas."

"Susaine, you heard it right? Are you sure you have no more drugs with you?", Carlos asked.
"Ahhhn? What?", she replied, completely out of herself.
"Do you really have no more drugs with you?", he frowned
"Yes... I drank all the cola... no more", she replied
"I am deeply sorry", he answered the clerk, if necessary you can check her, I don't have any drugs or of those things in that list, neither my other partners have, it's just her that... got too much of it"

"Would you prefer to stay at the airport until she sobers up? We have private wait rooms."

"Very well, I'll have Sky Service hail a cab for you folks."

"Yes, thank you, but she won't sober up any time soon, we just need a cab,
and, if there's one vacant and ready for occupation, an embassy building. Otherwise a five stars hotel will have to do it for now", Carlos explained.
......
"Very well, I'll have Sky Service hail a cab for you folks."
......

"Thank you", Carlos said as they headed to the outside of the airport to wait for it, they curiously looked around to check anything that was unusual or uncommon and took photographs and recorded videos.

The cab pulled up. Their bags were placed in the trunk and back. "Where to?"

The cab pulled up. Their bags were placed in the trunk and back. "Where to?"

(OOC: Won't they see any evidence of the harshness of life for humans there?)

"The closest five stars hotel nearby", Carlos replied.
"Five starssssssssssss............", Susaine muttered and seemed to be in an intermediary state between conscious and unconscious.
"Uh, don't mind her, she went 'too far', if you get my meaning", he said

(yes they will)

"Understood. I drive a lot of drunks home."

He drove them to the Akaso Plaza Hotel. "This is a 5-star."

Taking several shots during their travel, and also sending some of them through the Internet to Third Spanish States, the four diplomats finally arrived to the hotel, though rather than going straight to the lobby to get a room, they, or the 3 of them who were not "high", observed the motions of the streets with curiousity, while they wondered how to explain the existence of such beings, something quickly forgotten as they were no scientists. But they still stood there, watching the streets, and thus remained for 15 minutes, trying to find something else that would draw their attention.

The cafe/bar at the hotel said KITSUNE's ONLY and those humans that tried to enter were chased away by the tender. Some were ignored when they placed an order.

As soon Carlos noticed the issue he started to record it, and considering his African ethnic origins, he wasn't very happy with the sight. He immediately sent an e@mail to Third Spanish States DiploNet requesting then to ask Kitsuneville government to find an embassy building for them with dormitories as he wasn't going to fill the pockets of those. And then he started to talk with the others in a private tone, apparently angered:

"Did you see that? I don't like it, not a bit. This looks like a twisted reenactment of Jim Crow laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws), only this time it's actually among different races rather than mistaken concepts of race. But still this cannot be justified, let's hope they manage to negotiate a freebie because I won't give my money to those racist pigs... I mean, kitsunes".

"Take it easy Carlos, all we need is to convince them to open a free immigration policy for humans and those people will embrace our freedom and tax-less society like rat to the cheese. And we can't blame then, as nobody wants them to move to our nation either", Horazio explained.

"Yes, but still, is this really necessary? No it isn't. It's only a mere result of tyranny by majority and evidence that putting two different sentient beings to live together won't ever work. There's only space for one top dog, and you know", he lowered his voice even more "Between than and us, they can embrace the way of dodo if they ever get mad enough to war with mankind", Pablo then sighed.

They awaited for a reply...

Official Diplomatic Request

Our diplomats need an embassy with space for 15 civilian persons and 5 security crew as soon as it could be possible, as they are currently having certain difficulties to find an adequate place for semi-permanent residence and an antecipated embassy would avoid inconveniences later.
We will have some significant issues to discuss later as well, but first we need an established embassy to allow interactions between both nations to flow faster and efficiently.

RESP:

A buliding has been rented out to you, located at #114 South Akaso Street, Akaso. You will be required to pay half of the rental fee, the other will be covered by the Government.

Pablo finally got the message he waited for in his notebook. It instructed them to move to #114 South Akaso Street.
He then went to a taxi point nearby, and this time Susained managed to walk by herself, though a bit clumsy.
"Taxi, we wish to move ot #114 South Akaso Street!", he said to the Kitsune as his elegant black suit lines were accentuated by the sunlight of the afternoon, as they started to carry their luggage towards the trunk to load it.

"Right away." The driver said. "Here you folks are 114 A-Street. That will be 45 Vulpix Coins."

-Hotel-
"We understand completely." Lornia said. She turned and looked towards the others. "Is everyone ready?"
"Yes mah'am." Marke said as the rest lined up behind him.
"Then let us be off then." She said before turning to the guard.
"We're ready to go."

-Airport Approach-
This is TLA flight 252 requesting a suitable landing point for unloading supplies. The pilot cut off and awaited the response.
The large Modifed Transport plane he flew was awaiting clearence, with such a large amount of cargo, they couldn't exactly land at the terminals.

"Roger that, proceed to land at Runway 44

"Do you accept portable international digital currency? I have only spare credit chits which I can transfer this exact amount to using currency calculation programs", Carlos asked to the taxi driver as he hooked two credit cards to his computer, searched for a site with information on Kitsuneville currency and started to make a transfer of the given amount.

"I suppose it will have to do." The driver said. He could tell they were from out of town and he liked to cut visitors a break.

OOC: Sorry, Snow and other stuff. Wanted to put some more rascism in if it's too much though I'll remove it.
-------
-En Route-
I want everyone on their BEST behavior," Lonia said.
"Yes 'Mom'," Marke said leaning back in the seat.
"Marie you okay?" Tom said looking over at the last one in. "I bet you're really fired up for what you have to do." Marie "I don't want to know," Lornia said. "So quit talking about it!" Selena said.

-Airport-
It took a few minutes to land and park somewhere on the tarmac, but the next problem would be unloading the supplies within, with that the Captain headed for the shipping office.

-Government Palace-
Mere seconds after entering an usher appeared and escorted them to what appeared to be a sitting room. While some began to take a look at the things in the room the Usher spoke up saying "The queen will see you shortly."

-Shipping Office-
While most of the workers were busy the Human Captain in charge, George Stone, managed to find a desk with a strong Kitsune guy sitting behind it. When he saw Stone approach however he quickly picked up a newspaper on the desk and began reading it.

"Hello, we're from TLA flight 252, we want to know when and where we can unload?" the Kitsune ignored him but picked up a clipboard and put it behind the paper as well, looking it over he set it back down and went right back to ignoring him.
"..." Stone stood there sort of dumbfounded, which quickly turned to anger.
"Listen here, we need to unload somewhere."
(No Response)
'Urge to maim rising..' Stone thought gritting his teeth, I swear if I run into this rascist son of a...'
"Hanger 12," the man finally said, "Go to hanger 12, it's empty."
"Fine then." Stone turned and walked off.
"It'd be better if you just turned yourself around though, your kind aren't welcome." The guy said before going back to his newspaper.
Stone simply flipped him off behind his back in response.


Lonia: Black\Grey haired Fox Girl (Chief Diplomat)
Selena:Blond\red Haired Double Hybrid Girl. (Assistant)
Marke: Orange Haired Male Fox Hybrid. (Guard)
Tom: Brown haired Neko Male. (Assistant ?)
Marie: Short Black haired Neko (Technical??)

"I suppose it will have to do." The driver said. He could tell they were from out of town and he liked to cut visitors a break.

Carlos simply typed a sequence of numbers in a tiny keyboard and display attachment which was linked through tiny plugs to two different credit cards. Soon a message displayed from it saying "Transfer Complete - Value equivalent of 45 Vulpix Coins transfered to blank credit card" as he showed to the taxi driver and explained:

"You can exchange it into coins in any bank which works with digital currency."
Then he unplugged the anonymous credit card, or more like a portable and specialized data storage system with the dimensions to a portable calculator, he took it out from the device and handed it to the driver. Its currency was literally stored inside the card rather than in a bank account. And it had a tiny LCD display where the amount stored could be exhibited, but only in the form of mutualist credits, which was displayed as the rounded up value of 13.72 mutualist credits.

Soon they left as Susaine walked, or more exactly, crawled out of the taxi. They now observed the building ahead of them, checking for details of its architecture.

Sakaki finally exited. "I'm Queen Zeal, it's a pleasure."

(Writers block sucks horribly)


-Sitting Room-
"Greetings Madam," Lornia said giving a quick bow which was followed by others. "I hope you don't mind us speaking casually." She said after it was done.
"No go right on ahead, I must say it is unusual to see more of our kind in other countries." Queen Zeal said with some interest.
"It is a rarity but there are several hold outs throughout the world, we happen to be some of the more fortunate." Lornia said, "Except for a rare few most are shunned, in fact the largest population is located on the island of Animaliopis, which is basicly nothing more than an embargoed Refugee camp."
"How could this have happened how could a group allow themselves to become like this over so many centuries."
Lornia sighed then stood and paced while continuing. "Therein lies the other issue, The majority of us are like yet unlike you though Ms.Zeal."
"In what way?" Zeal asked.
"You are naturals, you can trace all your ancestors back and they have all been kitsune, many others..." She paused for a moment, "we have none, we are mere bastard children of genetics." Lornia said sourly while clenching her fist.
Queen Zeal look startled.
Lornia continued, "Supersoldiers, slaves, for what purpose is of little importance, they took the basic genome of humanity and rewrote it with the codes of 'lost' beings such as the kitsune."
"It took several generations to make us true members of our respective races, but at great costs."
Zeal looked horrified. "Why are you telling me this?"
She turned and looked at the Queen. "I am telling you that it's a very dangerous world for our kind, that yes in a way the anti-human crowd are partly right."
"But this is why you cannot allow them to continue the human oppression," Selena said speaking up, "we have seen first hand the oppression caused to one who is not the majority by doing the same you are painting yourselves out just as bad as the humans, this will anger many others like us."
"Also," Marke said speaking up, "Many human nations are highly imperialistic, they would gladly use this as an excuse to invade and conquer your nation."
"But my hands are tied, I can only veto the bills."
"Which is why we need you to help us meet with the Representatives."

(I know how that is)

"I see. Well now that Christmas has passed Konguresu will be back in session. Now it's ultimately up to the Konguresu President as to if you can sit in on a session and try to ambush the Reps after word but it may be arrangeable."

-Sitting Room-
"When you can set it up please do so," Lornia said.
"I'm guessing we're done here?" Marke said.
"I believe so, thank you for your Time Queen Zeal." Lornia said standing up.

-Hanger 12-
The large hanger was dusty but otherwise in good condition, TLA took advantage of the isolation to unload without being bothered. They had quite a bit to unpack. For security 5 Military Police officers were put on guard at the entrance to the hanger. After seeing the reception, they weren't going to take any chances against Sabatoge.

Official Government Response

We should state that Kitunes are quite welcome in the Confederacy. With citizenship for any species considered sentient, Kitunes would be treats as any other citizen in the Confederacy. We ask that you ignore the tyrannical Grand World Order's comments, not all humans are so oppressive and closed minded to change. The cooperation of species in the Confederacy is a splendid example of this.

However, we must encourage Kitune citizens to repeal the double human tax. It is unfair treatment of humans as humans are a species that will take revenge for monetary mistreatment. Perhaps a referendum should be held? We could help administer this if it is needed.

Signed,

Back at the corporate headquarters, information was already being compiled in the event the humans revolted. Being basically neutral in just about evey aspect of global politics, The Private Military Corporation of Mercenary Soldiers was just that, a corporate interest that hired out military might to the highest bidder...

"You know, that's so true... Humans don't take shit from anyone for too long, especially if someone from the outside world was on hand to hand out the firepower..."

Information and intel gathering were paramount for any successful operation...

"Then again, the government might need a hand with controlling the uprising, and we'll see how much they dislike humans when we're the only thing keeping them safe from the unwashed, automatic-weapon-wielding masses. With all the money they're getting from those poor bastards they can probably afford a few dozen of our boys..."

While simply a lowly media observer and intel gatherer, the corporate employee's views weren't exactly out of line with company policy. It was all about the money, and if there wasn't a war already they could damn sure start one and profit from both sides of the conflict...

"I'll send a report through the chain and see what the corporate heavies want to do with this mess..."

While not a field operative, the man knew his job well and he'd been at it for many years. His only task was to find conflict in the outside world, mostly through media like news tickers, the internet and numerous news feeds from even more numerous nations. Once conflict was found, he sent a report up higher and recieved a bonus to his paycheck if the corporation got a contract to intervene. He was hoping this was the case...

Katsuma: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I know there has been a great amount of controversy surrounding our bill. Some say it's racist but we say it's patriotic. We are merely protecting our national identity. We are a proud Kitsune State and we should remain that way. We are the minority in this world, so we should work our hardest to be the majority in this country. Humans have for long dominated this earth, and they will till the end of time. They have feared us and mistreated us and have forced us into their laws. We have to face facts we aren't all created equal and that is how it's going to be. The majority has always proven to be on top and so long as this country remains the majority, we shall remain on top. I thank you for your time reps, Madam Speaker."

"Very well, this meeting is now dismissed until 9:00 A.M. tomorrow morning."

(Or 4 days later whatever.)

-Observing meeting-
"Man this guy is a huge jerk," Selena said with a look of disguist as the meeting ended.
"Now now Selena," Lornia sad, "We are on an international mission, we do not talk bad about those we are visiting... Even if he is an arrogant blowhard."
"So what should we do?" Marke asked.
"We got to try at least to make him see reason, if not... Tom?" Lornia said.
"Marie, take the elevator and pick up the hardcopy, we may need it." Tom said looking towards the small Neko girl.
Marie looked up at Tom and nodded before walking off.
"Alright let's see if we can meet this Katsuma." Lornia said.

-Hanger-
A soldier looked over a checklist as they finished packing, "Alright we have the food supplies in place, and we have the support in case we need to pull an assault." "Correct," The captain said. "Sir if you don't mind me asking, who are we backing up?" The soldier asked. "Oh you'll see." He responded.
