NWN (National World news) Presents: Government sponsored Day of Orgy
"While many of you at home are wondering how such a day could exist... it does! the nations of Shouldland, a relatively unknown nation that seemed to come out of nowhere has enacted a piece of legislation that will effectively force its citizens to have intercourse with other citizens for exactly 24 hours starting midnight of the monday next week. Although a few citizens have protested the day, these protests while quickly quailed by other citizens in full support of the day. And dispite these protests the parliment has been in full support of this new day after 1 year of intense debate concerning saftey and legality. But to help explain the day as a whole I have parliments chIef Speaker Drakos Delrogue.... Honorable Delrogue, I have to ask what promted this sudden and radical new holiday?" asked the news reporter
" I am glad you asked, Our nation has always been sexually open and in this tradition we are keeping it alive and strong by giving the people an outlet to express these urges in a way to is completely legal. Of course there are rules to this day. You must have a D.O.O card to gives you the eligiblity to take part in this day. This card proves you are without any STD's and thus stagnets the spread of such illnesses. You must also limit you partners age by no more the 5 years younger with a total age limit of 16, people under 16 must have a partner their exact age. And to help with control of other hazards we have started a program in which any childern born of this day will be delivered at the governemts exspense and may be given to the state at no penalty." said Delrogue as he turned around to shake someones hand
The reporter nodded and turned back to the camara and gave his final line of dialouge...
" well, that all for tonight, be safe and get regiestered!"

Brittanican Adenia condemns completely a day that can only be seen as state-enforced rape. Forcing citizens to engage in intercourse is beyond deplorable, and defies any form of morality that can be dreamt of.
Adenia hereby, as detailed in Regulations of Trade and Industry in Diplomatic Difficulties Act 1980, instructs all Adenian-based companies to cease trade with the nation of Shouldland.
Any Shouldland ship entering Adenian waters will be immediately turned around, and denied entry to any and all ports belonging to Brittanican Adenia.
This breach of fundamental human rights is disgusting, and may God have mercy upon the souls of those responsible.

If this 'law' is not redacted and those responsible for its legislation punished, the MIGHTY Blub Colony will sign into law a mandatory bombing bill. Starting on the day that your state-sponsored rape begins, our military will bomb your military installations, government buildings, the houses of your legislators and any other targets we deem necessary for 24 hours.
This will occur each and every time this 'special event' rolls around. We have plenty of aging, unused ordanance laying around and this will be a great opportunity to dispose of it by dropping it on your nation.

Further more we would like to add that we formaly declair an embargo on your nation. Any ships found entering our waters from your waters will be given one warning and one warning only, along with 5 minuits to leave our waters, before being destroyed.
Good day sir, let us hope the next time we comunicate is under better, more 'humane' circumstances

This is a disgusting act abusing the rights of each citizen to have sexual intercourse within the privacy of their homes and without the monitoring of the government. Forcing people to have sex is nothing more than rape. We are prepared to launch military action to free the people of Shoudland from this sickening violation of the right to privacy.

Shouldland Government reply:
This new holiday is not state-enforced rape and is quite in fact the very opposite. We would never allow any person to take advantage of someone that has refused to have intercourse. If someone denies you permission then the subject is dropped. Those who take it upon themselves to force someone to have intercourse will be promptely arrested.
Now to clarify what you may think you know... this day was first brought up by the citizens themselves and they brought the parliment over 4 million names of willing participants. Believe it or not, but the parliment at first refused to consider it, but overwhelming civilian pressure has changed our position.
I hope that you will retian trade with our nation once we have cleared this issue.

This is, unfortunately, not what your legislation would suggest.
The National World News agency, and we quote, reports:
"the nations of Shouldland, a relatively unknown nation that seemed to come out of nowhere has enacted a piece of legislation that will effectively force its citizens to have intercourse with other citizens for exactly 24 hours starting midnight of the monday next week."
The indication this gives is that the government supports, and intends to enforce, a law requiring its citizens to engage in sexual intercourse for a period of 24 hours.
This, frankly, is unacceptable. If this legislation does find itself enforcing such impropriety, then your own government will be subject to an international arrest warrant and will be tried before a Brittaniate International Court for Crimes Against the Populace.
We trust we will have both your personal, and your national and official, assurance that this legislation will not breach the human rights of any citizen.
Further to this, we find permitting the act of sexual intercourse between children is a danger to the innocence and naivety of underage citizens within your nation. We hereby require your official guarantee that an age limit will be placed on this event of no lower than 14 years of age - that is to say, only persons of 14 years of age or over will be permitted to take part in this event.
These are the requirements that are to be fulfilled before we will consider resuming trade with your nation.

that will effectively force its citizens to have intercourse with other citizens for exactly 24 hours starting midnight of the monday next week.
We, the unifyed council find this to be evidence you are legalizing rape. You say that people can 'drop out' of this event, but in your initial broadcast you say that you have been under preshur to legalise this motion. Now that you have it gives us, the unifyed council, the impression there will be laws preventing this in some way. Surely you realize that peir preshure and otherexteranl influences can be stronger incentives than free will and that many people will not wan't to be 'left out' of this eventso that they too look 'Cool'
Another thing we take issue with is when you say:
You must also limit you partners age by no more the 5 years younger with a total age limit of 16, people under 16 must have a partner their exact age
People under the age of 16 are widly acepted as too young to have sexual intercourse, in TSSA this is becuase they are still in the early or mid stages of puberty. We are disgusted and your latest statement does nothing to ease or minds to this.
After intercepting some of the responses of other nations to your inital declairation of this even TSSA has decided to stand with those, specificly the Blub colony and ascelonia.

This event is completely register based, and the news cast, like most newscasts, was somewhat disporportionate to the actual event. Yes this legislation would allow people to have intercourse with anyone registered and once registered you must have intercourse with atleast one person. But the choice of becoming registered is one made by each citizen and of their own decision. And an age limit will be enacted to protect childern as theose under the age of 14 may not participate in this event.
The government must enforce this portion of the bill as it was voted on. And I again state that the government will not force anyone to register for this event.

It has reached my ears that your legislature recently passed an interesting bill, creating a new holiday. This holiday is essentially a nation-wide orgy. Uiri shall not pass judgement as it is purely a domestic matter, which was on every news station in Uiri - mostly for filler. I bet millions of working class Uir citizens had a good and hearty laugh, particularly males. Thank you, for that was a good mood-lightener. It is not every day a law as silly as that is passed.

With this in mind, Adenia should like to send a team of observers as representatives of Her Majesty. Their remit shall be to ensure that rights are not being infringed and that age laws are enforced as necessary. They will not, under any circumstances, participate in the event, and any attempt to coerce them to do so will be taken most grievously.
In the event that our observers are satisfied, full trading rights will be returned, with an official government apology for all inconveniences.
We trust this will be acceptable.

You almost had me there for a second. No, I am afraid that the Uir have enough sexual intercourse without the need for a day dedicated to it. I believe that our fertility rate is something like 2.75, quite high for a highly industrial nation. Please, if you have a Shouldlander joke book, send it to me. I am sure that your people have a great sense of humour and I would love to be let in on it. In fact, you could probably get some of your comedy programming on our television networks.

... Midnight Saturday
Newscast...
" Well, the night is here and national register locations have opened their doors all across the nation, allowing eligible participants to register for the National day of Orgy. But even prior to the locations opening people where lined up as far as the eye can see some lines have reached almost 1 mile long, prompting the government to open more locations. The government has hired over 3000 medical personnel to help oversee the screening process and help ensure all participants are STD clear.
However there has been a few protests over the event, which where countered with even more powerful counter protests which called for the arrests of the first protesters under the charge of treason. While the hopes for arrests where strong the government denied the request and let them be. Despite overwhelming international pressure to cancel the event the government has made adjustments, but overall has refused to give. releasing this statement just before to opening of register locations:
" While we understand the feeling of the people in these nations, we also understand the feelings of our people. And as elected officials of this nation we are under their power of rule."
While the government prepares for the day, certain sections of most cities have been designated as event locations in which participants may engage in intercourse in public locations, all other places must be in private. Furthermore, no children under the age of 14 and are not registered may enter these locations without proper escorts.
OOC: If you would like to send other to observe this process, and/or participate please post so now!

Official Communique:
The Armed Republic of Dynamic Revolution cautions The Blub Colony from making such threats. Grand Commodora Laura Cromwall Steiner also wishes to point out that any attack on the Nation of Shouldland will be met with aggressive consequences. This mater is purely an internal matter, and as such is beyond the scrutiny of any foreign nation.
The Councilate of Foreign Affairs
To: The nation of Shouldland,
The Empire of Avarahn finds this situation almost amusing. Almost.
The right of an individual sovereign nation to enact any law it pleases with the consent of the people and in respect for WA laws is a right undisputed.
The nation of Brittanican Adenia seems to have overlooked that fact. It is generally agreed that the right of determining the age of consent is leaft up to an individual nation and thus , the said nation has no right in instructing another soveregn nation on what age limit should be enacted. The Empire of Avarahn has an age of consent at 13 , does that mean that Brittanican Adenia would attack our nation for no other reason , other than a perceived abuse of human rights. The age of consent is variable in different nations in line with the differing cultural and social norms.
Therfore, it is not a right of any nation to instruct another nation on what to do. It is also not an internationally correct step to threaten bombing another nation on the basis of disagreement over the domestic policies of another nation as is what the Blub colony is trying to do. There are several huge nations here that might take offense to that. Sadly, we are not one of them though.
The nation of Shouldland has our assurance of protection and assistance if it is attacked on the basis of trying to go about its own local matters. Shouldland has every right to enact any legislation that it so pleases as long as it is in line with the WA rules , if it is indeed a WA member nation.
We agree with Dynamic Revolution and other nations that have expressed a similar opinion. Know that you have our full support.
However, we would like to send a team of observers in order to further comprehend the kind of festival that Shouldland plans to conduct, as frankly, we are curious as to what it entails.

My country has made no threats against Shouldland. To date, we have been reasonable, not even threatening, as some have to embargo Shouldland trade if demands we make are not met. We simply wish to observe this even so we may be sure all is as the government of Shouldland claims it to be.
Even so, we shall not be intimidated. If we believe a certain course of action is necessary we shall enact it against all hazards. The rights of sentience are more important than individual peace and tranquility.
Further, the observers I promised are en route as we speak. There are seven in all, five official observers and two secret observers, who shall seek to get involved directly in this event to view it from the inside. These two observers have been issued orders to remain undetected if possible, but will take no hostile actions against Shouldland's people.

And now for a message from
The Kkreigerian Government Department of Foreign Nations of Sovereignty
Dear Shouldland Government:
We would like to extend our deepest apologies on the behalf of other sovereign nations that seem to downplay your culture. It is, quite simply, none of their concern in regards to what you do in your nation, especially at the request of your citizens.
However, I do find your practice to be... unsettling, at best. There are several potential problems associated with it, both physically and morally. Unless the intercourse is strictly protected, unwanted pregnancies and/or STDs would be widespread. At the same time, wouldn't you effectively be allowing disdainful sins such as premarital sex, adultery, and statutory rape? I certainly hope you have some sort of system set up to deal with these issues.
As I said, I do not agree with your practices. However, Kkreiger sees all sovereign nations as free to partake in any action that does not intimidate and probe another sovereign nation. As such, we will offer you complete military support after a group of representatives has visited and evaluated your nation and this custom.

SUBJECT: A Proposal you cannot refuse
The B.L.O.W.J.O.B. would like authorization and the directions to establish air lines between the main airports of the Confederacy of Third Spanish States and the main airports of your nation, particularly during the Day Of Orgy, which we believe that will attract a massive amount of visitors, and logically improve your local economy and tourism industry, while serving as a good way to get our people closer, and allow for your commerce to penetrate new markets. If you accept, which I am hard on believing you will, again assuring you this will be a great deal, we can set up for jetliners right tomorrow.
As for the stance of Third Spanish States government on the Day Of Orgy, suffice to say, there is no government to say anything about it. It certainly won't be as shocking to our people as is to witness a three hundred pounds man doing another three hundred pounds one in a fursuit, although that is of no relevance to the subject at hand. What matters is that there are really many people interested in visiting your nation, as our people is quite libertine on such matters.
A word of warning however: as soon as we informed our intent to establish this new airline to the entire Confederacy, we have received many requests of twelve and thirteen years old teenagers wanting to join. I am unsure on what we should say, as some goons and imperialist meddlers with no sense of what the word national sovereignty means have been trying to impose their troglodyte conservatism over your people. I really hope that these boys and girls wanting to visit your nation by their own will won't be barred by a bunch of corrupt monarchies and hypocrites spewing morality while they line their pockets with taxpayer money behind the scenes.

To: The nation of Shouldland,
The Empire of Avarahn finds this situation almost amusing. Almost.
The right of an individual sovereign nation to enact any law it pleases with the consent of the people and in respect for WA laws is a right undisputed.
The nation of Brittanican Adenia seems to have overlooked that fact. It is generally agreed that the right of determining the age of consent is leaft up to an individual nation and thus , the said nation has no right in instructing another soveregn nation on what age limit should be enacted. The Empire of Avarahn has an age of consent at 13 , does that mean that Brittanican Adenia would attack our nation for no other reason , other than a perceived abuse of human rights. The age of consent is variable in different nations in line with the differing cultural and social norms.
Sincerely,
Baroness Emi Etsuko Marie Kurogane,
Foreign Affairs Liason officer,
InterNational Affairs Directorate,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
The Government of the Empire of Avarahn,
The Empire of Avarahn.

Perhaps your concerns would be taken more seriously by this department had you actually checked your facts, Baroness.
It should be noted that Adenia does not reside within the WA, and therefore WA laws do not apply to Adenia. At all. Further to that, we question your logic processes - whereabouts in my previous correspondences, assuming you are indeed able to read them, do I mention any intention of this administration to commit to war with the nation of Shouldland?
Surely, someone in so high a position would note the difference between economic sanctions, which have then been placed under consideration in the light of new information arising, and sabre-rattling?
Whilst we find the idea of permitting consent between 13-year-olds to be abhorrent, we have no desire to go to war with you for it. Rather, we pray for you. Permitting those whose minds are not yet fully comprehending of the seriousness of sexual consent to consent nonetheless is a dangerous practice at best, and one at which causes us to view the social policies of your nation with some concern. Nonetheless, our desire for war is non-existant.
Perhaps you would do well to keep this letter on your desk before attempting to spread further untruths about our nation and it's dealings with others.
With Regards,
The Right Honourable Sir Allan Street

To The Right Honourable Sir Allan Street,
With all due respect, we apologize for assuming that Britannica Adenia is under the Wa, since she is not, then obviously the laws of the WA do not apply. However, we did not in any way state that the nation had planned to attack Shouldland through military means. Note ,the phrase," The nation of Brittanican Adenia seems to have overlooked that fact. It is generally agreed that the right of determining the age of consent is leaft up to an individual nation and thus , the said nation has no right in instructing another soveregn nation on what age limit should be enacted. ". Did my previous communications suggest that your nation would in any way attack Shouldland ?
If you were to take your own advice in this matter, maybe you cannot as you might be too distracted to do so, but if you were to do so, by reading our messages , the only hint of implying that your nation might atack any other nation over this matter is that of you attacking us on our age of consent. Note, the words "attack" does not mean military action or war, indeed it only means to take an active or offensive action against or in response to, in accordance with the Imperial Language Dictionary. Indeed, the word can suggest financial, word, moral or physical attack. AS our message was a response to your own message, it is obviuosly possible to deduce that it means financial attacks as your nation has obviously already commited to. Those very clear words and meanings would otherwise only be mistakenly understood in the case of a very politician who very obviously takes offense at the merest hint of it or in the case of a nation itching for a fight.
Also, note you phrase of "If this legislation does find itself enforcing such impropriety, then your own government will be subject to an international arrest warrant and will be tried before a Brittaniate International Court for Crimes Against the Populace.". We would like to point out that your nation has obviously threathened the nation of Shouldland if it engages in any actions that are deemed offensive by your own standards.
We on our part wish for no hostilities in this matter and we wish that we can settle this amicably. Any other nation can surely see by yours and ours correspondences that there is no cause fo any offences.
We note your objections to our domestic policies and are glad to accept such criticisms as is the right of any other antion to do so. But we would like to point out that the age of consent for individuals is as low as that due two two factors. The age of majority in our nation is 16 and the fact that those aged 13 are already mature and independent enough to comprehend the full implications of having sexual intercourse. Our teenagers are more mature than most in part due to the societal norms and cultural as well as religious norms. Your nation may express disgust at it but it is what our nation believes in. The children and teenagers in your nation might not be ready for it, but ours clearly is. As to praying for us, our nation gladly welcomes any extra blessings at any time but rest be assured that, we are confident that our own holy authorities are satisfied with us.
In response to your last sentence, we would like to say that the last insinuation is tottaly unwarranted for and uncalled for. Is the respected officer suggesting something about the intelligence of our officers ? If so that is in our opinion not the right thing to say. Rest be assured we will keep this letter on our desk in order to inform us more comprehensively in future dealings with your nations, if any.
We would once again wish to reiterate a similar position that you have taken, we wish for no military or war actions in this matter as we are confident it is purely a matter of disagreement of opinion and language.
Thank you and all the best wishes.
Sincerely and with kind regards,
Baroness Emi Etsuko Marie Kurogane,
Foreign Affairs Liason officer,
InterNational Affairs Directorate,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
The Government of the Empire of Avarahn,
The Empire of Avarahn.

By which to address your points:
Note ,the phrase," The nation of Brittanican Adenia seems to have overlooked that fact. It is generally agreed that the right of determining the age of consent is leaft up to an individual nation and thus , the said nation has no right in instructing another soveregn nation on what age limit should be enacted. ". Did my previous communications suggest that your nation would in any way attack Shouldland ?
This phrase is not the one by which we refer to in my previous correspondence. We referred to this phrase:
"The Empire of Avarahn has an age of consent at 13 , does that mean that Brittanican Adenia would attack our nation for no other reason , other than a perceived abuse of human rights."
This statement would accuse us of intending to attack any nation that would have an age of consent lower than ours. This is a grievous untruth and one that we take most seriously. Again, whilst we find the idea of allowing minors to engage in sexual activity to be morally bankrupt, we are not a nation of warmongers.
Further to that, we do not class embargoes as an attack against a nation. Attacking a nation may include physical economic sanctions such as blockading or privateering, or physical military sanctions such as outright invasion and assault on territory. Adenia has committed to neither of these; we have not attacked the nation of Shouldland in any way. We have taken actions to discourage the application of legislation that would require citizens to engage in sexual intercourse - i.e. state-enforced rape - however, to claim that this is attacking Shouldland is making the proverbial mountain out of a molehill.
"Also, note you phrase of "If this legislation does find itself enforcing such impropriety, then your own government will be subject to an international arrest warrant and will be tried before a Brittaniate International Court for Crimes Against the Populace.". We would like to point out that your nation has obviously threathened the nation of Shouldland if it engages in any actions that are deemed offensive by your own standards."
This "threat" is not defined by us - does your own nation not have laws against rape? Therefore, would not the enforcement of rape by legislation make a man a criminal? This is no threat; this is law enforcement in the name of civil rights. Any culture that would glorify rape as being "free" is a condemnation of humankind, and those that perpetuate such a culture deserve to be tried as criminals.
"We note your objections to our domestic policies and are glad to accept such criticisms as is the right of any other antion to do so. But we would like to point out that the age of consent for individuals is as low as that due two two factors. The age of majority in our natio is 16 and the fact that those aged 13 are already mature and independent enough to comprehend the full implications of having sexual intercourse. Our teenagers are more mature than most in part due to the societal norms and cultural as well as religious norms. Your nation may express disgust at it but it is what our nation believes in."
What a nation believes is true is not necessarily the fact of the matter. Countless upon countless studies have proven time and again that at the age of thirteen, the human body and mind have simply not matured sufficiently biologically. Whilst social surroundings can affect this, the age of 13 cannot be justified by any means in scientific terms, and, quite frankly, religion is often a road to severe difficulties in a nation. One simply has to look at the Doomani to see that!
My final sentence was justified at the time, and it appears it does not remain so - I will wholeheartedly retract it, and offer my apologies to the Esteemed Baroness.
With Regards,
The Right Honourable Sir Allan Street

Upon learning of this several squid-like aliens from the Guarlorp sector dropped by Japan to inform their cousins of the opportunities in Shouldland. Upon learning that rape was legal in this land they departed the nation which saw them as a form of entertainment which they call "hentei" and departed to the more acceptable and promising land of Shouldland.
(hours later)
A fleet of flying saucers prepares to "immigrate" to Shouldand on the day of this holiday in order to propagate their race and have squid-like fun.

Newscast...
" With the days almost here the nation has been thrown into a flurry of registerations for a D.O.O card and the nation is poised to not operate for the whole day. As of current, registrations has confirmed a some 4.7 million registered participants. Eariler today one could see the nations police force marking the event zones in which will be declared open for the event in all ways.
Reports have come in about other nationals have been admitted to participate pending they pass the requirements with the exception of age. This has prompted small Extreme Left and right wing fringe groups to protest the event saying... " This is worng."
