IC: The Totalitarian State of Red Tide was infamous for two things above all else: Militarisation, and Oppression.
The former image conjured up scenes of military parades, masses of armored vehicles and planes, and the over hundred million men of the State Guard, Aero Forces, Naval Forces, and Missile Forces, all ready and willing to die for the State.
The second image conjures up scenes of labor camps in the mountains, Intelligence Commissars shooting dissidents in the forests of the nation, and of a paranoid, power-hungry leader, General Secretary Narmonov, doing whatever it took to maintain his grip on power. It was in this latter category that the tragedy unfolded...
Red Tide had watched the growing anti-anthropromorphic animal movement with mild interest. Anthromorphs(or just 'Anthros') were completely none-existant in the near-human majority of Red Tide. However, that did not mean Red Tide was a completely human nation. There was a Neko population after all.
The Neko's had always lived seperately from the rest of Red Tide society. They lived in small villages scattered throughout the countryside, eschewing the massive cities and the human-populated villages. They lived in the cleanest places on the Red Tide Mainland. They were hardly known about to most people even inside the country.
It was a long time before General Secretary Narmonov even became aware of them. When he did find out, it was by a report from a Tech-Com Corporation farming zone that had somehow reached his desk. The note said that a middle-aged Neko's body had been found mutilated in a ditch near the farm by one of the employee's. He was horrified...
No, not at the murder, but at the idea that there were these things in Red Tide who did not pay their taxes to the Government and contributed nothing to either the military or the economy. Thus, he issued Intelligence Directive No-1,043,252.
In essence, it was the opening for a xenocide.

Maria Steponavich Korinov, age 17, was careful where she stepped, so as not to ruin the sprouting shrubs. The small garden her mother and father kept was beginning to sprout the first signs of the seeds that had been planted. It was a fine late-Spring Afternoon, the sun showed down from the sky and, as far as Maria was concerned, she had not a care in the world.
Maria's cat ear's twitched at a sudden unfamiliar sound in her world. Had she come from the city, she would have recognised it as the engine to a vehicle, but since she lived in a isolated village, she had never heard it before. Rushing to the stone gate in front of her house, she peered down the road, catching sight of the armored car that led the convoy of Intelligence Commissariat vehicles down the road. Quickly, Maria turned and fled back inside the house. The armored car rolled past, followed by numerous armored transport vans.
From their window, Maria, her father, her mother, and her younger brother watched as the vans rolled past. One split off from the convoy and skidded to a stop right outside the families house. Immediatly, Maria's father and mother grabbed her and her brother, and hustled them into the kitchen, hiding them under the sink.
"Don't come out until we tell you too..." Maria's Father said, before he closed the cabinet doors.
Only a few seconds after he did so, Maria heard the front door crash open. Then the voice of a unfamiliar man could be heard yelling, rapidly followed by a loud BANG! Maria heard her mother scream right before there was another BANG! The screaming ceased abruptly. Then Maria heard furniture turning over, cabinets being thrown open, and more random bangs.
There was the sound of footsteps right infront of her cabinet, she held her breath and covered her brothers mouth. The cabinet doors swung open to reveal the face of a Intelligence Commissariat Tactical Assault Agent (informally called a Tactical Commissar). The man reached in and dragged both Maria and her brother out, kicking and screaming. He threw them roughly on the kitchen floor and whipped out a M-1 handgun... and then shot Maria's brother in the head.
Her brothers head blew open and blood began to rush out, his tail twitched once, twice... then went limp. Maria began to scream as the Tactical Commissar brought his gun to her head...
"HOLD IT!" A authoritative voice rang out. The Commissar froze right before he pulled the trigger.
Maria whimpered as another man, dressed in the uniform of a Colonel in the Commissariat, walked up, pushing aside the Tactical Commissar, who had snapped too attention at the sight of the Colonel.
The man grabbed Maria's face and inspected her for a moment, then, with a predatory grin, he turned to the Tactical Commissar.
"I'll deal with this one." He said.
Maria stared, not really knowing what the Colonel meant. She was roughly lifted to her feet and half-dragged, half-pulled into her parents bedroom. It was then she realised what the Colonel had in mind...
Ten minutes later...
Commissar Colonel Ivan Sergeyovich Dredonov yanked up his pants as the Neko girl whimpered naked on the bed behind him. She had not cooperated well, and thus she had several bruises on in face as he had dealt with her. He turned to the pretty little thing, a smug smile on his face.
"Thank you for your time..." He said, pulling his revolver from his gun holster. "I am sorry it had to be so brief..."
He leveled his gun at her right ear(a cat's ear, he noted scornfully), and pulled the trigger. The girl shot up and screamed gripping the ear he had just shot as the wound bled ferociously.
He watched her with abstract fascination as she sat there, screaming and clutching her ear. For awhile, it was incoherent, then finally, she screamed: "WHY?!"
As if insulted, Dredonov answered, "Because the State ordered it... unless you mean earlier, in which case... well, rank-has-its-privalleges."
Then he levelled the revolver at her head and pulled the trigger.
As he exited the room, he found the Tactical Commissar he had shoved aside leaning there.
"You did not have to do all of that, sir." The Commissar said, in that montonous voice of theirs.
"Oh, shut-up and prepare to burn the town... I am sure there are other Colonels who are... satisfying themselves also."
The Tactical Commissar simply shrugged, before saying, "I will carry out your order..."
A few hours later...
The Colonel watched from the edge of the village as the wooden buildings blazed. The operation had been a complete success, every Neko-scum in the village was dead. Now, it was time to move onto the next one.
All over Red Tide, similar scenes were playing themselves out as Red Tide conducted a systematic liquidation of its Neko population. There were only about 1 million Nekos in Red Tide, after all... surely no-one would miss them?

As such, with the above, I will not allow the following people in here:

That is all...
