ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE UNITED ARMED REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT


We realize the world has a dim view of the Holy and Righteous Empire of DoubleWideville. We also realize that many, if not all, nations still blames us for what happened under the now exiled Emperor David. We therefore will take these measures to end the current isolation of DoubleWideville and to reopen economic and political relations:

1) We have found the exiled King David. We will turn him over as a sing of good faith, to be tried by your courts.

2) We will allow international inspectors to search and find ALL weapons of mass destruction, and remove them from DoubleWideville

3) We will recall, under U.N or international inspection, all sleeper cells in all nations of the world.

In return, we would like for the world to show us some lattitude. It will be a hard sell to our people if, after we make these goodwill gestures, the world continues not to send any encouraging sings of hope to us.
This is all unconditional, however. Again, I hope the world will show us that we were not mistaken in doing this. Ultimately, that's your decision.

Official Diplomatic Communiqué

The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture has not previously had international relations or contact with the Holy Empire of DoubleWideville, but is fully aware of its recent history and warlike ways. Nonetheless, we applaud the efforts now being made by the current DoubleWideville government to rehabilitate its tarnished reputation and end the international isolation that has seen it become a pariah state.

As a founding member of an international organisation, the Free World Alliance, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, liberty and economic freedoms, we feel compelled to answer the call of the DoubleWideville government to offer it our hand of friendship and help to re-enter the international community as a responsible and respected member. We offer the good offices of the Free World Alliance to assist DoubleWideville towards the path of peace and stability, and are encouraged by statements to disband its operatives from foreign nations and invite the international community to inspect and disarm all weapons of mass destruction in DoubleWideville.

We therefore make the following proposals:

For the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture and Holy Empire of DoubleWideville to enter into formal diplomatic relations and an exchange of embassies.

Pertaining to the offer from DoubleWideville government to disarm itself of all weapons of mass destruction, that an international coalition of member nations of the Free World Alliance should be granted permission to perform the verification and disposal of these weapon stocks. This, of course, would be subject to approval by the Governing Council of the Free World Alliance and assurances from your government of full cooperation and guarantees of safety for our personnel. Such agreements will include the agreement to allow overflight over your territory by aircraft and satellites belonging to member nations of the Free World Alliance, and security teams to accompany weapon inspection teams.

Pertaining to the offer to withdraw its sleeper cells and other assets from foreign nations DoubleWideville has previously had conflicts and poor relations with, that the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture will assist the DoubleWideville government to establish agreements of non-aggression with these nations to prevent further conflict.

Lastly, the Technocracy will pledge to provide economic aid to the DoubleWideville government to assist in the reconstruction of its economy through direct aid and business investment provided there is opening and deregulation of markets.

The Technocracy, while having the highest hopes for the response from and future conduct of the DoubleWideville government, does warn it that we will at all times show caution in our relations and will take those precautions and safeguards necessary for the protection of our citizens and interests.

Helena Smith, Director General of the Diplomatic Directorate, Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture

MEMO


To: Current Interim Government, DoubleWideville

From: Jon Hay, President, The Googleistic Democracy of Googlewoop


Dear Sirs/Madams,


As another prominent member of the Free World Alliance and a close ally of The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture, the Congressional Parliament of the Googleistic Democracy of Googlewoop applauds the Revolutionary Government of DoubleWideville for their submission to the demands of the wider community.

Although my nation was neither involved in your reported sordid past nor interested in monitoring it closely, It is always of great satisfaction to here that another wayward nation has realised the benefits of embracing peace and a democratic system of government, and acted accordingly.

I do however suggest that handing your deposed emperor over to a random assortment of foreign nations is not the most prudent course of action you could take. In the end it is your people that have suffered the most as a result of his inept rule and it is they who he should face in a fair, impartial and civilian trial by a jury of your citizens.

I was especially pleased to note that you have seen fit to allow international observers to enter your nation and monitor your transition into a peaceful state. I can vouch for and look forward to collaborating with the inspecting delegation from Etoile Arcture and suggest that ours and other nations of the Free World Alliance are highly suitable candidates to accept this task. I suggest inviting nations whom your previous government has attacked or otherwise offended is a very bad idea. Some of these will inevitable find making the distinction between your interim government and your old regime somewhat difficult and the temptation for revenge too great to resist.

After further discussion, investigation and developments, Googlewoop would also like to offer financial and humanitarian aid and discuss the possibility of take your nation under our wing in the future.


Regards

Jon Hay

President
The Googleistic Democracy of Googlewoop

To the Government of DoubleWideville,

We shall accept the delivery of King David, and once he has been delivered, we shall forgive all the crimes committed by him, as we know that it was him, and not you that committed those crimes. Thank you, we await your reply of the time and location of the prisoner transfer. Also, as a sign of good faith, we will exchange $3 billion for King David.

We are fine with this, but we are concerned that he won't be tried by DoubleWidevillian laws. Our laws are based on injunctions in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The penalty for homicide is execution, under DoubleWidevillian law and the Scripture.
We would like to also provide a Scribe (a lawyer) from the Sanhedrin (our body of legal scholars trained in DoubleWidevillian and biblical law).

To help you we will post some of the laws we have drawn from the Scriptures.

He won't be tried by your laws, he will be tried by ours. His charges would be, extortion, racketeering, public endangerment, and attempted genocide. If he is found guilty, the least he would get would be life in prison, and the most would be death by firing squad. You may provide an attorney for his defense, and we will furnish him with the laws of our nation, and the court procedures.

Official Statement from TSRT Government
"The Totalitarian State is glad too see the Holy and Righteous Empire of DoubleWideville finally come to its senses and hope it will cease to be a pariah state in the eyes of the world.

As such a step, we offer to renew official diplomatic relations with your nation and have an exchange of embassies."

OOC: I really hope you have wised up DWV and read the rules of RPing here, because this is the last chance I am going to RP with you.

Greetings of Peace!

The Federation congratulates the Armed Revoluitonary Government of DoubleWideville for taking positive steps to make amends for the errors of its previuous government. As a member of the Free Mind Alliance (FMA), formed as a result of King David's mad aggression we applaud his arrest and look forward to his being brought before the FMA's International Court. We assure DoubleWideville that despite all his crimes David shall be given his day in Court. We also suggest to our ally, Beatus, to allow a judge from the DoubleWideville Sanhedrin to join the Court as a compromise to its request to be tried under its laws.

In solidarity,

Chairman, Committe on Foreign Relations

OOC: This has my interest. Hopefully there'll be a bit more sense in the RP in the future. If it looks like you've wised up, like TSRT said, I'll probably see reason to RP with you again.

I can appreciate that you've been given a lot of stick lately, both from me and others, and I really would recommend the stickies to you, and I hope this is an act of sensibility.

Commincation from Weapons-Tech Financial Institutions and Industries

In light of your overture of former Emperor David, and your appearant giving up of your warmongering ways, Our CEo Terry les Demones has seen it fit to offer you a chance to house a WTI Bank brance as well as having a chance to open an account within its prestiges halls. This will grant you, limited, access to WTI weapons and Financial oppertunities.

We hope you will consider our offer as it will not be presented again.

You have a TG, it will be on your nationstates account, a reply would be nice. The offer still stands.

OOC: Sorry, I been a little busy.

IIC:

We accept all proposals made by the parties here. The United Armed Revolutionary Government has chosen Emperor David the II to be defended by Scribe Moses K. Anderson.
We accept the money and invite those who have offered to come into our nation to enter and inspect for the dissassembling of all WMD's.
In addition, we are proud to announce that we have set national elections for the next Emperor to be held on Feburary 9th, with the following parties running: The Commitie for Liberal Democracy Party, The Holiness and Purity Family Values Party and also The United Armed Revolutionary Party.

We have a question: Under our law system, for a person to be charged with a crime, a Grand Jury must be held with at least three witnessess with first hand knowledge of the crime testifying to that knowledge. The jury then deliberates on the evidence of the witnessess, and in murder cases, must either deny the charge's existensce as lack of evidence, or must choose between two different charges: Inovoluntary or Emotional Murder or Premeditated and Cold Blooded Murder.
Under our system, Premeditated and Cold Blooded Murder is 1) a capital offense, 2) if the person is convicted, they have no chance of appeals or stays of execution. If its decided it's Involuntary or Emorional Murder, we allow appeals and stays of executions, and under certain circumstances, the possibility of being redeemed by a kinsman redeemer.
A kinsman redeemer is a person in the person's immediate family who is willing to either pay, in cases of theft or robbery, or in certain cases of Involuntary or Emorional Murder, take the place of the accused. This is predicated on the criminal publicly confessing to the crime, and the kinsmen redeemer understanding they will receive the full punishment for the kinsman their redeeming.

So...1) Will you hold a Grand Jury? and 2) Would you allow a kinsman redeemer for the Emperor, if a blood family member was willing to redeem him with their own life?

We would like that as well. A member of the Sage Council of the Sanhedrin would be able to advise you on DWV laws and also on such matters as things as the kinsman redeemer clause, the necessity of at least three witnessess, e.t.c.

He won't be tried by your laws, he will be tried by ours. His charges would be, extortion, racketeering, public endangerment, and attempted genocide. If he is found guilty, the least he would get would be life in prison, and the most would be death by firing squad.

Under DWV law, you need at least three witnessess with first hand knowledge to testify to EACH crime. Then a jury must decide whether there is evidence for the existensce of said crimes.
We also allow, under certain circumstances, a kinsmen to redeem the person. This is of course limited. As for firing squads, that's unscriptural. The Scriptures make it clear that the penalty for murder is death by stoning.

NUMBERS 35:16-33

16 " 'If a man strikes someone with an iron object so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 17 Or if anyone has a stone in his hand that could kill, and he strikes someone so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 18 Or if anyone has a wooden object in his hand that could kill, and he hits someone so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death. 20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at him intentionally so that he dies 21 or if in hostility he hits him with his fist so that he dies, that person shall be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

22 " 'But if without hostility someone suddenly shoves another or throws something at him unintentionally 23 or, without seeing him, drops a stone on him that could kill him, and he dies, then since he was not his enemy and he did not intend to harm him, 24 the assembly must judge between him and the avenger of blood according to these regulations. 25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send him back to the city of refuge to which he fled. He must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 " 'But if the accused ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which he has fled 27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the city, the avenger of blood may kill the accused without being guilty of murder. 28 The accused must stay in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may he return to his own property.

29 " 'These are to be legal requirements for you throughout the generations to come, wherever you live.

30 " 'Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.

31 " 'Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. He must surely be put to death.

32 " 'Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow him to go back and live on his own land before the death of the high priest.

33 " 'Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.' "

As we mentioned before, he shall be tried under our laws not yours. You may provide an attorney to defend him in our court. When can he be delivered?

The Emperor is currently being held in the Maximum Security Prison in New Bethesda, which is on the coastline in the Province of New Samaria.
The Scribe assinged to him has spoken to his client, and has raised some issues, which we have assured him he will be able to bring up when his client is brought before the court. He has also prepared a brief, saying that since DWV has no extradition treaty with The Beatus, that this act is illegal.
After confering with him, we told him that this could be delivered to the court for their consideration.
We are sending a plane, with a single pilot to bring David to you as soon as your able to receive him. He will be shackled, handcuffed and also has been fit with a GPS locator and also an epidermal explosive device that will explode if he seeks to escape.
The code for disarming the epidermal explosive device is: 123701. Simply take a scanner his attendant will bring with him, scan over the throat and when it beeps, punch in the numbers.
Is this acceptable to you?
