Emperor and supreme authority over the Imperial Kingdom of Gataway

elsewhere in the kingdom....

The sound of footsteps thundered throughout the port city of Cyin as some seven-hundred thousand troops began boarding ships bound for the Ruckinia province along with armored vehicles and other materials of war.

Following an official Imperial order from the emperor himself the southern guards' advance wing was to deploy as a deterrent to the "socialist menace" as stated earlier following a defense department briefing.

In addition to ground forces an undisclosed number of aircraft and naval vessels were also en route to be relocated to more strategic positions.

Theoroshia once an ally to the imperial kingdom was now viewed as an enemy and a traitor


Ruckinia province

Along the Theoroshian border all but a few incoming lanes were closed, and those that were open were screened throughly and only those who were Gatawan citizens were allowed entry.

Armored vehicles replaced the standard border security vehicles and roving groups of attack/recon helicopters roared overhead occasionally a sortie of recon planes or UAV craft could be heard over head as well...tensions ran high

OOC:

Forgive me for splitting hairs, but how can the agents of a foreign government commit treason? Treason is when a CITIZEN OF YOUR COUNTRY acts in concert with an enemy of your country. By definition, foreign nations cannot do this.

Did you, perhaps, mean "treachery?"

OOC: The foreign country in question is in our regional alliance, so it could be considered treason against the greater alliance.

ooc:thats what I was getting at...furthermore the GSS act... basically it gives my government's secret police and intelligence agency authority to arrest anyone deemed undesirable by the government...IE Joe says the government sucks one day in the town marketplace..two days later Joe is arrested under suspicion of "undermining the government"

it also made all radical groups abroad especially socialistic supporters enemies of the state. Also under the GSS everyone in the market that didn't report Joe's "undermining of the state" are equally as guilty as Joe himself and could also be jailed/fined.

The whole GSS act came about after a conflict with another regional neighbor who was socialist "Zambistan" and liked using sympathetic Gatawan citizens of Zambistan decent to carry out attacks....so the with the GSS act I can arrest whole groups of people (as long as they are in Gataway) if the government labels them enemies of the state...thus why there aren't anymore Gatawan citizens of Zambistan decent left in existence..well there are but they're all locked away.

Depends what country your from. The defenition of treason in Yallak is any act which defies or contradicts the will of the Imperial government or its Emperor, so anyone regardless of nationality would be could potentially be tried for treason (eg. enemy soldiers capture in battle *insert evil laughter here*.

Expect some help from the Empire soon Gat...
