"The Revolutionary People's State of Magdha applauds this wise and excellent decision. The armed forces, being apolitical and generally incorruptible, are far more capable of governing sensibly than self-interested civilian politicians. Whereas the politicians exist to exploit the people, the soldiers exist to protect the people. Magdha has been governed by the military - under my direction - for many years, and the results have been immensely beneficial. I would recommend keeping The Beatus under martial law permanently."

The Binarian Empire holds no problem with Martial Law as long as it is not inplace permently. Your nation has our deepest sympathies for the loss of your leader. We hope his murders are caught and killed for their crime.

Stoklomolvi, like Magdha and Binaria, applauds this decision. We do, however, advise for Kontor to leave the situation immediately. The Beatus is not part of the NationStates United Nations, which holds no power whatsoever. Also, freedoms are for squares. Aubergine.

To the Union of Kontor,

This act comes following an atrocious crime committed against our Government. Our President's, Jim Lange's, motorcade was attacked on a highway, in our capital, the two escort vehicles were blow up by RPGs. This was followed by an attempt to shot they're way into the President's bulletproof Limo, and finally, just as military forces arrived to ratify the situation, a bomb, apparently set under the limo, by these unknown attackers, was detonated, not only destroying the limo, but damaging two APCs, and killing our President, and 5 military personnel. The suspects have yet to be caught. If this is not proper reason for such actions, than I do not know what is.

Travel Warning
Magdhan Commission of External Affairs and International Cooperation
Bureau of Consular Affairs
1800 State Office Building, Magdha City, Stroessneria, Magdha, 95441

March 23, 2008


Theocratic Republic of the Beatus


This Travel Warning is being issued to remind Magdhan citizens of the continuing political and social upheaval in the Theocratic Republic of the Beatus.

Following the assassination of the Beatusian head of state, a military junta has assumed control and declared martial law. We remind any Magdhan citizens who are currently visiting or living in the Beatus, or planning to do so, of the high potential for further instability.

Magdhan citizens who choose to visit or remain in the Beatus despite this Travel Warning are strongly urged to avoid staying in hotels or housing compounds that do not apply stringent security measures including, but not limited to, the presence of an armed guard force, inspection of all vehicles, and a hardened security perimeter to prevent unauthorized vehicles from approaching the facility. Magdhan citizens are further advised to exercise caution and maintain good situational awareness when visiting commercial establishments frequented by expatriates or in primarily expatriate environments. Keep a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel, and ensure that travel documents and visas are valid. Magdhan citizens are also advised to exercise caution while driving, entering or exiting vehicles.

If at all possible, avoid all public demonstrations, which may turn violent quickly. Stay in a safe place and follow local news closely to stay aware of the situation as it develops.

Road travel, particularly outside of major cities, is strongly discouraged.

We ask again that Magdhans defer all travel, including emergency travel, to the Theocratic Republic of the Beatus until further notice.

It has been awhile since our two nations have been in contact and we are just checking up on your current state of affairs. What is the recent news there that has sparked up marshal law? If any assistance is needed do not hesitate to ask.

Very truly your,

P.S. Is any help needed capturing the uhhhh... oh yea, Arch prior?

To the United Dependencies,

Well, our leader has been assassinated. Current evidence is pointing to Royalists. The Arch-Prior has actually disappeared. No one has seen him in months, he is presumed dead. Everything here is fine, and the situation is being dealt with as we speak.
