“I have no idea what you are talking about, your honor, I have never once committed a crime during my time in Zukariaa,” a Grestonian man pleaded from the podium, “My record is clean and I consistently recycle.”

“Objection!”

“Objection accepted. The Grestonian is found guilty by a jury of his peers, namely me.”

“What?!” the Grestonian slumped back in his seat in despair. The objection hadn’t even come from a lawyer, but one of the men sitting in the audience watching the going’s on.

“You are sentenced to death by firing squad. Get this criminal out of my sight.”

Multiple security guards grabbed the Grestonian man and drug him from the podium and out the back door.

This was something that had been going on for the last week, with nationals from across the planet. Dozens of Grestonians, Ralkovians, Grand World Order..ians, and Stoklomovians were being executed on the pretense that their governments were unstable and collapsing and that they were subject to recruitment by ethnic extremist groups. Not a single one brought to trial had pleaded innocence successfully, though several had avoided execution and been sentenced to a lifetime of slavery.

It was clear to most that they were not getting a fair trial, and as a result dozens of protests had sparked up throughout the southern half of Zukariaa, mostly in Aiur, the capital. Though the Emperor had not given any edict on trials of foreign nationals, the local governments had taken it into their own hands as news began filing in in the aftermath of Zukariaa gaining power in the small nation of Loompastate.

Ralkovia had been directly insulted by the Emperor and forced to give up its claim to the small nation. The Ralkovian state had given in so easily that it was deduced by some in power that they were biding their time or simply unstable. Still, the emperor’s insults were feared to cause a reaction from local Ralkovians and as such they were put to trial. This sparked even more trials of other nationals similarily in turmoil or perceived to be in turmoil at the time.

Still, there seemed to be no end to it and already some 400 ethnic Grestonians, Ralkovians, GWOians, and Stoklomovians had been executed. Government aids put out a statement for the emperor stating:

“The Emperor has no opinion for or against the trials taking place and leaves it to the local governments. Should they expand to more foreign nationals the Emperor will intervene and stop them. The Emperor urges decency in executions.”

In other news, a rebel settlement of negroes in Karain was rolled over by a tank division with 1,400 dead.

In further news, the nation of Govindia mysteriously disappeared beneath a mushroom cloud earlier Sunday.

Stoklomolvi says,

"We send our sincere condolences to those who were killed by the 'Zukariaans', especially the Stoklomovians. Luckily, there are no Stoklomolvi in Zukariaa, as the region of Haven is barred from travel in its entirety. Stoklomovi, our neighbour to our colony at Stoklomolvii, is most displeased."

(If you would have asked me first, Zukariaa. I would have told you about the
Expatriate Exclusion Acts(including the oppression act), which means Ralkovian are required to live in Ralkovia, her colonies, or an ally. It also decribes how marriage between a ralkovian national and a foreign country national is not recognized in Ralkovia.

However because this will be an interesting RP and the fact that you have kept the number of ralkovians in an acceptable range[I would accept that a few hundred ralkovians might somehow find themselves in Zukariaa]. I will accept it.

Does 200 ralkovians living in Zukariaa sound appropriate?
Would 110 Zukariaans living in Ralkovia sound appropriate?)

OOC: Oh but of course I forgot that everyone on NS has strict emigration laws because its so easy to enforce. <_< Stok even if you do ban emigration to Haven, that doesn't mean other nations that you do allow emigration to also ban it and considering nations on NS have billions of people I have no idea what makes you think that a few dozen at least would end up in basically every nation on Earth save for perhaps Gholgoth. Even in real life tyrannies people got out any way they could because no one wants to live in a tyranny. I guess you missed that part where people jumped the Berlin Wall.
Ralkovia: I have no problem with that. Since I'm not in the business of regulating what my people do or do not do I have no reason to ban emigration. Especially when considering that NS nations expand in population exponentially on a yearly basis and as such room runs out very fast.

(Well my emigration law comes from the fact that my people want to stay close to G-d(there g-d) they won't leave, but as you said keeping everyone in is extremely hard and the fact of the matter is that many people move for a variety of reasons and stopping them is practically impossible.

Most of the ralkovians though fear this exact situation thats why emigration is mostly to colonies and strong allies.

Zukariaa mind if my ethnics do get angry and kill some Zukariaans. Any gun control in your country? I would really like if some angry ralkovian sprays a zukariaan school with automatic gun fire.)

OOC - Yes I have extremely strict gun control laws in urban areas as my government is an absolute monarchy which in general would not be too happy with tons of people have guns. The rural areas have less strict gun control, however. Now can we stop with OOC? I really dislike having OOC responses in my topics. If you want to learn about my nation you can look on wikistates or ask me anything else over TG.

The Ralkovian Retribution was swift as the Zukariaan minorities living in Ralkovia or his colonies were quickly interred. Vengeance was quick and harsh as executions were handed out for the crime of "Vina eh Vina."(Eye for an Eye) It was hastily made by a Ralkovian legislature which addressed the Emperor.

The Death Guard were put in charge of the executions. It was sure to be hell. Women and female children were sent across Ralkovia as "Zukariaan Whores" forced to sleep with entire cities. Before being impaled through the rear up into the mouth. Many of them survived as objects were thrown at them. They died by starvation as they were force fed water.

Men were killed in the most brutal of ways. Skinned alive as weak acid was poured onto the open wounds. The Death Guard also castrated men. Perhaps their favorite way of ending it all was with the Belle Slith Um Bellie(War Snake in stomach) which was putting the venemous War Snake into a tube and forcing it down the prisoners esophagous. The venom was slow acting as the snake could not reach any major blood vessels and the venom instead only served to weaken the lining of the stomach creating ulcers in which the acid would pour into the body as it tried to digest the snake. Altogether the man would be killed either by the venom or by the acid burning through the body.
The other way of death was by releasing into the prisoners body thousands of fire ants or even hornets.

Victims were quartered and sent to their families in Zukariaa along with individual video tapes of the Deaths. Many Ralkovians in Zukariaa were now going into hiding, trying to leave by (boat?), or escaping to (if you have a Tocrowkian embassy.)

If they could not leave they would keep a tablet of poison by them for fear that their deaths would not be turned into the nightmares the death guard had done to the zukariaans.

Semi-official Statement:


It is frightening how nobody seems to care about the death 1,400 negroes, while the death of only 400 triggers a bath of revenge and brutality between nations. Worse is how Cecily Lockhelm was right in her last statement: such executions of foreign nationals are a matter of pure vanity rather than relevant to the maintenance of the status quo. And before those vain enough to think on uncivilized ideas put on their actions, not even an idiot would abandon the freedom, right to bear arms and quality of life of the Confederacy, and as the integrated flight registers don't account any flight to Zukariaa, or to any other of the mentioned nations, unless an imbecile decided to immigrate as an illegal taking a ride between a nuclear waste shipping boat and a depleted uranium export ship, it's doubtful anyone who might once have lived in the Confederacy migrated, besides perhaps an insignificant minority of people our gene pool is better without.

PS: The Confederacy is not a nation. People from several nations, mostly western European migrated to it and still maintain their original nationality.

PS. 2: Our strict requirements for immigration, particularly for the would-be immigrant to have an IQ of at least 130, means we won't be able to retaliate should it be decided to persecute traitors and imbeciles who thought their lives would be better in Zukariaa, should they exist. Not that we care anyway, for we aren't savages promoting a perpetual cycle of vengeance like African warlords.

Conrad took a sip of coffee as he listened to his intelligence debriefing on the Ralkovian reaction to the trials. The men reading it sounded disgusted, mortified at the horrible fates of the some hundred Zukariaans living in Ralkovian territory. One commented that it sounded like something that would happen in Doomingsland. Conrad rubbed his eyes and then responded once they were finished.

“Well they sure have disproportionate government sponsored actions in the slums of the Earth, don’t they?”

“Highness?”

Conrad took another sip, “Well, this is sort of what I expected them to do, especially after what I did a few days ago involving that tiny country Lumpaland or whatnot. I was actually sort of hoping this is what they would do.”

“Why, sir?”

“Well, in case you haven’t noticed, every time there is a major regional war in Haven,” Conrad sifted through several papers, “My military officials have been telling me how disappointed the little bastards that sign up for military duty are every time we miss combat. They’re in a mighty fine uproar, which I don’t quite understand. The potential war with Allanea riled them up a fair bit and this situation with Ralkovia has them talking.”

“So?”

“So this Ralkovia place has just given me a causes belli. I’d like you to telephone Mr. Taradox and inform him that I am about to order active military installations on high alert. I’m quite certain we’ll be going to war.”

TO: Mistress Raskov, As well as the allies abroad
FROM: His Majesty By the Grace of the Gods Emperor Conrad II
RE: Orly?

Well, well, we find ourselves at a crossroads once again Madam Raskov. You’ve shown your rather barbarian ways once again in declaring government edicts for the destruction of Zukariaan lives, in quite brutal manners. I should point out to you that you did so in response to something that was not a government sanctioned action, and as such it is more or less equivalent to a declaration of war with no just cause. I likely should have expected something like this from a slum nation like your own, but still, you caught me off guard by impaling women on stakes.

Which brings me to the purpose of this communiqué; you have violated the sanctity of the rights of my people, which cannot go unpunished. Consider our two nations to be at war and consider us to be as such until the day that you find yourself and your nation being eaten alive by the God of War himself. You have unleashed a monster. I will, however, generously offer you the chance to redeem your actions if you transfer every colonial territory under your control to me immediately, there will be no war. If you do not, you will find that they have been taken from you by force. I will make no threats of violence to your people as you likely would, as I am no barbarian. I can simply give you a promise.

Your nation will not exist a year from now.

Good day, madam.

Retaliation against any Ralkovians attempting to leave the country or simply caught before they could strangely kill themselves or run away was great. The murder of so many Zukariaans in Ralkovia had lit a match among many youths, and they were taking it out on the Ralkovians they caught. In multiple places across the country, Ralkovians were drug up into temples during morning rituals and had their throats cut open over sacrificial bowls before having their corpses burned. This was considered the greatest insult to a Zukariaan who was religious, as a body that is not buried in the Zukariaan religion is believed to simply not go to the afterlife. A body that disappears completely through open-air decay or burning is believed to have its spirit simply disappear from existence entirely.

OOC:
RALKOVIA: Could you please send me maps and such of your nation and information over TG? Everything you've got. And where your nation is, in general. I know we didn't talk about a war, but I also didn't expect your retaliation to be so violent, which I can't let slide. I'll save any military actions until I have the proper information, as I honestly have no idea what to do against you otherwise.

2:31 PM, Easen City Center
Easen, Greston

Striker had been returning from the best press conference of his career in the city center. Earlier that day, February 2nd, 2011, Striker had announced the creation of the Alliance of Maritime Nations, revealing what the construction on the new Aquaticus-Poseidon Building was for. It would be hard to pull Striker to the side, as he was flanked by six guards, but Lawrence Pope, from the Central Intelligence Agency, was able to do so.

Whispering into his ear the Intelligence Agent was able to tell Striker, "One hundred dead in Zukariaa, it needs you attention immediately."

2:37 PM, Capital Building
Easen, Greston

Striker burst into the Cabinet Meeting Room, which had come to be fondly called the 'The Tank', as aids and the Cabinet itself prepared for the conference the president had ordered in the car ride. The Intelligence Agent Striker had met with earlier had some how gotten to the room first and was in the back corner consulting the Deputy Minister of Defence, Benjermin Harkett, about the situation.

Striker took his designated seat, it seemed to have more power resinating from it than the entire cabinet did. He spoke as he sat down, one of the many habits Striker had formed during his tenure. He felt as if everything was a dire situation.

Striker's aging process had doubled after taking office, he had taken it in the middle of the biggest political debacle Greston had seen. In the course of a year he had faced an entire region turning on him, a war or worldly proportions and an invasion that stumped every battle the Imperial Republic ever took part in or recognized.

"I was told the situation, I would hope in the time I was told and the time it took for me to get here we have learned more about the current situation," Striker poured out. His fifty years seemed to effect him whenever he sat down and stood up.

The first man to rise to the occasion was another intelligence officer, a tall skinny man with thick glasses, a horrible hair cut, and a name tag, "So far we have learned that the Zukariaan government has been gathering up ethnic Grestonians and sentencing them to execution...um, yes sir?"

"Wait, who are you now? I believe that's where Roger sat?" Striker interrupted

"Ah, yessir, Mr. Finton could not make this conference, I am his highest ranking officer and will take place of his presense," said the tall intelligence officer, the name on his name tag said Michael Briggs, "however, the situation, is, sir, dire indeed. So far the death toll is four hundred, we have taken the majority as of the ethnic groups, our nation is the only one without a ban on imagration."

"Hold on, um, Mr. Briggs, who are the other nations, any allies of ours?"

"No sir," said Briggs steadily, "the ethnic groups finding this punishment right now are Stoklomolvans, Ralkovians, and Orderians."

Striker raised his eyebrow in interest, the only time Greston was mixed with those nations was in the midst of a war.

"That can be overlooked then, I am sure the press won't care to hear how 'innocent' fascists are being cared in Zukariaa. However, I want every GBC Channel going on how innocent Grestonians are being cruelly murdered, perhaps we can pressure their government into repaying the families whose loved ones were killed. We can't afford to pull Greston into a war with Zukariaa so this should be strictly diplomatic. How many more expats of ours are left there?"

The intelligence fumbled for a second and calculated the number in his head, "About another 130, excluding the consular staff."

Striker seemed to be finished with the conference and stood up, pulling on his coat he said, "Contact the local Grestonian Consul in Zukariaa, I want the remaining expats to be located within the boundry of that Consul, if the Zukariaans are to cross that boundry they are infringing upon our sovereignity and I will see to it that they would regret it."

Covering Story: Grestonian-Zukarian Expat Situation

Consular Ambassador Christopher Chambes to Zukariaa delivers announcement to Zukariaan Government

100 Grestonian expats ruthlessly murdered in Zukariaa.

Today, after many celebrations due to the creation of AMNAT, the Grestonian Government has learned that for the past week the Zukariaan Government has been round up ethnic Grestonian expats within their border, giving them unfair trails, and executing them. So far over 100 innocent Grestonians have been executed due to the Zukarian Government's hatred towards the Imperial Republic.

This afternoon President Striker and the Cabinet met to discuss the situation, a source within the cabinet stated that Striker was in the process of resolving the situation and the remaining 130 Grestonian expats in danger have are secure within the boundry of the Consul in Zukariaa.

Shortly after the expats were placed within the safeguard of the Grestonian Consul, Consular Ambassador Christopher Chambers confronted the Zukariaan Government saying, "The criminalizing, imprisonment, and execution of innocent Grestonian's is down right disgusting and I cannot stand for such an outrageous action. By order of the Grestonian Government the remaining expats within Zukariaa are safely within the boundry of our Consul. Were any Zukariaan Government, Military, or Police Officials to cross the boundry of the Consul, you are infringing upon our sovereignity and therefor, declaring war on the Imperial Republic, AMNAT, AIMN, and ODECON."

GNNN will keep the public updated on the situation as it unfolds.

(I have a feeling that Tocrowkia will be mad. I'll get you the maps but if we are going to war expect it to be very long. My parents have a ruthless dictatorship over my schedule so my nationstate visits will be small and far inbetween.

I'll probably only be able to heavily RP with you on the weekends. However if you can wait that long I expect this to be a good war. Just don't get Haven involved because then...well it wouldn't be fun to have the largest nations in NS gang up on me. Especially when my 4 biggest allies are either not active or busy elsewhere. Not that 4 vs. 40 would balance anything out anyway.

OOC:
Well there are several problems. Tocrowkia is actually one of my allies, as well, and her history actually involves me discovering and colonizing her.
As for Havenic involvement, Haven is not a regional alliance so only a few would get involved anyways from talk on IRC. Once you give me your information I'll do the same, but keep it to TGs. The less OOC the better for this thread.

JOINT MESSEGE FROM THE SHAZBOTDOM GOVERNMENT
EXECUTIVE OFFICIALS AND SHAZBOTDOM PARLIAMENT
_____After following the events within The Empire of Zukariaa and are worried. For years the Shazbotdom Empire has had a loose alliance with The Empire of Zukariaa, to the point where there was an embassy exchange between our two nations. This is of major concern to us as we have been out of touch with the international community for a fair amount of time and did not know the extent of the termoil that the international community has been going through.

_____The People of the Shazbotdom Empire worry that the staff of our embassy within Zukariaa have gone through, if they are still safe, and if they will be arrested for any crimes in which they are supposedly held accountable for. If they are still safe and not being charged with anything, when would we be able to extract them? Please notify us shortly as to when we could extract them, if that is possible. Thank you for your time and paitence.

Independently, a total of about fourteen ethnic Vojvodina-Nihonians living in Zukariaa (of an estimated several hundred) came to similar conclusions: it wasn't looking like the best time to be an expat in Zukariaa, and they'd been planning to move anyway. So they sold their houses and businesses and moved away.

This apparently innocuous move had far-reaching consequences, however. One Vojvodina-Nihonian's home was sold to a man who was eventually found to be an international jewel thief, and the house had given him a new base of operations, allowing him to steal an estimated $2.5 million more than he would have stolen had he not owned it. Another one sold his small grocery store to a land development company, which demolished it; coincidentally it was the only store in the city that sold a particular brand of jelly babies, which was the last straw that incited a schizophrenic local to take a kindergarten hostage with a homemade nuclear bomb, potentially killing hundreds or thousands had he not been convinced to live out his life in a padded cell instead. Yet another Vojvodina-Nihonian left her cat in Zukariaa, where it became a stray, joined a band of stray cats occupying a vacant lot, and was eventually run over by a car driven by a depressive citizen, who subsequently went home and ODed, killing himself in remorse. And so on, and so forth.

But did it cause any problems that anyone really cared about? No, not really. Hardly anything exploded at all, and there were no opportunities to display one's superior knowledge of WWII tactics and Air Force subculture. How boring.

[OOC: Need an OOC thread?

You see, there's a difference in general sentiments; you look at things from a Western perspective: "FREEDOM! LIBERTY! DEMOCRACY! etc" while I look at things from a more Eastern perspective: "Security! Order! Morality! etc." What you consider tyranny is what is considered security in Stoklomolvi. Fleeing tyranny, thus, is not considered a logical reason. If I had at least a dozen people in every country, PN and NPN, in NSEarth then I would have no people, that's simple. And my people fear Haven; I've blasted enough propaganda to make even Reagan insane, which is to say, a lot of propaganda. Nobody would ever dare to move there.

If you would see, my country has the same amount of civil rights as your country. Not much tyranny to flee from. I RP with the idea that my people, as long as they do not harm the government, can do pretty much whatever they'd like.]

When word spread, that ethnic Stoklomolvi were being executed, for no other reason, than being Stoklomolvi, the few Beatusians in Zukariaa opened their homes to any ethnic Stoklomolvi. They attempted to shelter them in their attics, basements, etc. Most of the Beatusians in Zukariaa, lived in closeknit communities, generally preferring to be with their own, over the natives. Stoklomolvi had been a stanch ally with the Beatus before, and these people were going to do what ever they could to show hospitality and respect to any Stoklomolvi who chose to seek refuge with them. The Beatusian Government had as of yet, failed to make an official statement.

(OOC: I assume this will be acceptable. As you said, there are bound to be some Beatusians in your nation, unless you bar immigration.)

Auir, Zukariaa
Riding shotgun with Rarlu's Advocates

Deep within the hearts of rural Zukariaa, religious devotion runs wild, and so does political extremisim. As the large passenger van rocketed down the highway towards the city, an interesting site was occuring in the back. Three members of the Cult of Rarlu were attempting to perform an exorcism on a "Grestonian" that they had found trying to hitchhike into the city. The most notable part of a Zukariaan exorcism (at least those conducted with Rarlu's Advocates) came as a climax to a brutal procession of deeds. Since Rarlu the Destroyer was the god of love, the cult demanded the removal of the heart in payment for that person's afterlife. Such was the only way for the Grestonian to ever have a peaceful existence (since it had obviously evaded him in this life). As beautiful incense began to fill the van, ominous chanting became audible from more and more voices. The Grestonian was strapped down, but began to buck as more and more vicious "treatments" were applied to him. He was given the "Shower of Dismay", as the men conducting the exorcism relieved themselves upon him. His toenails were removed and placed inside his nostrils. Finally, with the man still alive and looking on, his chest was cut open and his heart was removed. Despite the exorcism, there would be no heaven for this man. A silver knife was plunged into his still-beating heart, signifying its eternal death, and sacrifice to Rarlu. He had died, so that these men might live.

Crazy as it might sound, these men (and women) deeply believed what they practiced. Extremist pagans, the group known as Rarlu's Advocates was also reknowned for their staunch conservatism and their hate for the Vorgothic Empire. Today, they would take their revenge upon one such member, Greston. Now huddled within the confines of their Consulate in Auir were all the remaining Grestonian citizens in Zukariaa. With one fell swoop, Zukariaa could be rid of them all, and send them a fatal message. They could not rely on the government to take care of this, however. It was up to them to purge these demons from the earth. Who was anyone to stand against them? They spoke to Rarlu the Destroyer, they had heard his commandments. They were Rarlu's Advocates.

Cryptic messages were scrawled all over the inside of the van, mainly in greek (although one or two well known german phrases were present). The most cryptic thing about the van, however, would be the significant amount of explosives hidden behind the backseat, which would blow through any wall that stood between it and the consulate. Another car drove behind the van with 4 more people in it, and in its trunk were weapons for the people in the van and the car.

As they drove into the city, the car pulled into a parking lot across the street from the consulate while the van parked (illegally) directly next to the consulate wall. The people in the van got out, and nonchalantly walked into the parking lot, and began conversing with the people in the car. Each one was wearing a kevlar vest underneath his shirt, but it would not save all of them. They opened the trunk of the car and began to take out weapons, passing them around, but making sure they stayed hidden from the streets view. They were alone in the parking lot for now, however, so they were not worried about getting caught. All of a sudden, an explosion rocked the street. Luckily, no cars were passing by at the time so no Zukariaans were hurt. The consulate wall, however, did not fare as well, and there was now a gaping hole in it. Everyone inside was probably shell-shocked. With a bloodcurling cry, a flashbang was thrown into the building, and the Advocates began to rush across the street into the building.

They opened up on the men and women of the building with automatic fire, targeting first anyone in uniform, but not bothering to spare anyone else. Eventually, weapons were drawn in defence of the Grestonians but it was too late, the attack had already almost won. The gunfire faded, and eventually, the only people left were 6 of the original 9 people who entered the building. Knowing that time was short, they did the rest in haste. They drug the bodies of every Grestonian into the largest room of the Consulate and placed them all leaning up against its longest wall, sitting down but facing outwards. Each of their hands was placed in their lap, and their hearts were removed and impaled with a silver knife. The hearts were then placed in their hands. With the massive amounts of blood, an ominous "All this, unto Rarlu" was painted in Greek above the deceased. Meanwhile, the two dead Advocates were lain on the couches, arms crossed on their chest, and a Zukariaan penny was placed on each eye. A breif prayer was said for those two, and then, as if nothing had happened, the men left the building and attempted to return to their rural homes. Two Advocates had been lost this day, but it was still glorious. Zukariaa had been purged of the Grestonian scum.

If you would see, my country has the same amount of civil rights as your country. Not much tyranny to flee from. I RP with the idea that my people, as long as they do not harm the government, can do pretty much whatever they'd like.]

More importantly, these are Stoklomovi's people. He RP's them in any manner he chooses. You may dislike this, but you're free not to RP with him. Claiming to have killed Stoklomovians, having them in your nation, or whatever, without his permission, is a godmod, period. That said, if Stoklomovi is okay with it, I suppose it's okay.

Foreign Nationals in Trouble within Zukariaa
February 2, 2016 -- Ryan O'Hara_____Startling news today arose from the Shazbotdom Imperial Palace as an immediate meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came to a close. Within this emergency meeting they discussed several cases, including the recent slew of arrests and convictions of foreign nationals within The Empire of Zukariaa. A nation once in good standings with the Shazbotdom Empire, this recent bout of what seem to be illogical arrests by the Zukariaan authorities put the Imperial Palace in panic mode. With an embassy staff inside of Zukariaa, the Empire quickly sent a dispatch into Zukariaa in an effort to figure out the wearabouts of the Shazbotdom Embassy Staff and if they are in any danger.
_____News is that if they are to be tried for any crimes within the Zukariaan Empire, that those personel within the Zukariaan Embassy, located along 1538 Embasy Square, will be detained indefinitally. This news was held down to the public from Mrs. Charrel Cralom, the Minister of Public Relations.
_____“This direct threat to the sanctity of the loose peace that has been instituted between the Shazbotdom Empire and The Empire of Zukariaa must be dealt with swiftly and according to the terms that the Zukariaans signed for having an Embassy within the Shazbotdom Empire,” Mrs. Cralom stated in a question and answer session shortly after handing down the order. “If they are unable to stand by the pact that they had signed when the Embassy trade was instigated between our two nations, then their personnel will be held accountable for the actions of their government.”
_____With no definite answer to what is to happen to the Shazbotdom Diplomats within Zukariaa, the Imperial Palace is keeping a keen eye on the situation as it unfolds in the coming hours. A task force has also been created within the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament to determine the next course of action and to draw up a plan of action in case this sort of incident happens in the future. The task force, named the ‘Task Force on Diplomatic Policy’, or TFDP for short, will be convening over the next few days to draft up the proposal. This proposal will be delivered to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for final approval and then sent to the floor of the Imperial Parliament to be voted in as law.
_____When asked via a teleconference about what impact this incident within Zukariaa will have on future relations with nations located in the Region of Haven, Supreme Emperor Larry Williams said, “This is an unfortunate incident in which a nation that the Empire has had fairly good relations with for so many years would stoop to the level of arresting foreign nationals for rather inconceivable reasons. If their Embassy Staff is not evicted from their place of residence over this, their status will most likely be dropped down.” He went on after a short pause. “To what level they will be dropped down to would be decided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in conjunction with the Imperial Parliament. It is sad when something like this has to put such a strain on the loose coalition between two great countries such as ours.”

RE: Status of your embassy

I’m not certain of why you have had such a bad reaction to the news of these trials, as not a single Shazbot citizen has been targeted for terrorist activities. I reaffirm that no foreign nationals have been targeted by my government at all and that these trials are being carried out by local-level governments and judges.

Bzzzzt.

Ypolohios Heros jolted away as his alarm buzzed in his pants’ pocket. He sat up and wiped dust from the side of his face. The sun shown through the opening of his hiding place, between several bushes. He was sitting in a depression in desert rock, his DRS-84 Sarissa sniper rifle was set up aiming out the small opening in desert bushes covering the inversion. He had been lucky enough to scout an utterly perfect spot, because from here he could see where Emperor Raskov of Ralkovia was to exit his vehicle and walk up to a local government building on a state visit.

Raskov had a reputation for being an insane old man, and the picture that Heros had been given certainly did not betray that fact.

Heros was a member of the ‘Sacred Band’, the special forces of the Zukariaan military. He had been smuggled in almost effortlessly under the minimal security guarding the Ralkovian Yemeni colony. He scooted over to the corner of his depression and began a prayer to the gods Sukaros, King of the Gods, and Domos, God of War, so that they might bless his shot and make it blow the old man’s brains out in a spray of crimson glory.

Once he finished, he moved over to the rifle and waited some twenty minutes. When the Emperor’s limousine finally pulled up, Heros jolted to readiness. The old man stepped out, surrounded by Death Guards. His hunched figure and frayed gray hair were extremely prominent; this was the man needed. Heros aimed at the back where the heart would be and pulled the trigger.

The noise was tremendous and the sight was glorious as the old man’s head jolted forward and then snapped back with the force of the gun, his body fell forward into a puddle of matter and blood.

Now was Heros’ true test as a man. He gathered his equipment and jumped from the depression and ran like there was no tomorrow. He would try to go into hiding until the war was over, hopefully very soon, before making his move and calling in for evac.


OOC - This was talked about with Ralkovia over MSN and agreed to as a way to avoid tech differences; namely that Ralkovia is PMT and I am MT. Responses to the attack on Greston's embassy will come when he posts a response.

[OOC:See... I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure Kampfer's post was a giant god mode. But who am I to disagree to an unplanned attack on a secure embassy where my guys get massacred without getting a chance to RP it back, none the less RP the casualties? I don't know about you but that sounds like a god mode in my book.

However, just because that attack was outrageous doesn't mean I'm done with RP, Zukariaa. If you RP something serious that would happen in this situation with me *cough*diplomatic talks/politicians debating*cough* than I'll continue posting.]

[OOC: I'm fine with the idea, though I would like to have been contacted beforehand, if you know what I mean. Stoklomolvi, Stoklomovi, Stocklomolvi, all simlar, all different. I should make different countries for those...
Akimonad, I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt that your people would even touch Stoklomolvi, much less live in it. Our peoples hate each other far too much. That said, I don't think any Stoklomolvi would live in Akimonad either. And yes, if you're given propaganda like they did in Room 101, and if you didn't listen you would be shot, then the only people left would obey the propaganda.]

We do believe the execution of our expatriates is perhaps a wrong move. For every Citizen of the Order executed, our Federal Guard will go through our nation and those under our domain ((OOC: And of course, those who aren't under my control but I have troops/black ops/puppet governments in or easy access to)) and collect 25 Zukariaans upon pre-approved Judge Orders of Public Execution via Creative Methods to Further Deter Actions Against the Spire. Currently, our law enforcement agencies have already established a no-travel list of all Zukariaan nationals and their families, and are currently rounding them up for hard labor on our assembly lines. It's quite fortunate for us that only Undesirables would want to live in a nation as politically pathetic as yours, now isn't it?

The Order can be crueler than you filthy Zukariaan Politicians can even imagine.

-snip-

I really don't understand your apparent dislike of realism. There were Soviets in America, and there are Iranians in America. Such things as dissent are in fact possible. Not to mention that the Jews couldn't exactly modify their population numbers in Germany in the 1940s at their convenience.

Realism gtf in please.

_____We apologize for the rash jumping to conclusions.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

To: The International Community
FROM: The United Republic of Anagonia - Acting Chief Governor Caster Oblivion

Due to the recent events, we the People of the United Republic have recently discovered RAVE parties currently taking place within Zukariaa. Therefore, I have ORDERED every Anagonian in Zukariaa to participate in these RAVE parties and enjoy the warm embrace and hospitality of Zukariaan Women. It is with great pride that I inform the International Community that in no way can I order my People, so therefore the RAVE parties will be showing songs including but not limited to "BASSMASTER". Intern, our People will take Zukariaan women home and create a new generation of rave masters.

Thank you,
Caster Oblivion
Acting Chief Governor of the United Republic of Anagonia

P.S.

We probably won't do the "stealing Zukariaan women" thing. Although we will participate in the killer RACE parties. DANCE WITH GLOW STICKS!

In my country if you are convicted of a capital offense crime if convicted you will be executed.

Zukariaa;14466031']“I have no idea what you are talking about, your honor, I have never once committed a crime during my time in Zukariaa,” a Grestonian man pleaded from the podium, “My record is clean and I consistently recycle.”

“Objection!”

“Objection accepted. The Grestonian is found guilty by a jury of his peers, namely me.”

“What?!” the Grestonian slumped back in his seat in despair. The objection hadn’t even come from a lawyer, but one of the men sitting in the audience watching the going’s on.

“You are sentenced to death by firing squad. Get this criminal out of my sight.”

Multiple security guards grabbed the Grestonian man and drug him from the podium and out the back door.

This was something that had been going on for the last week, with nationals from across the planet. Dozens of Grestonians, Ralkovians, Grand World Order..ians, and Stoklomovians were being executed on the pretense that their governments were unstable and collapsing and that they were subject to recruitment by ethnic extremist groups. Not a single one brought to trial had pleaded innocence successfully, though several had avoided execution and been sentenced to a lifetime of slavery.

It was clear to most that they were not getting a fair trial, and as a result dozens of protests had sparked up throughout the southern half of Zukariaa, mostly in Aiur, the capital. Though the Emperor had not given any edict on trials of foreign nationals, the local governments had taken it into their own hands as news began filing in in the aftermath of Zukariaa gaining power in the small nation of Loompastate.

Ralkovia had been directly insulted by the Emperor and forced to give up its claim to the small nation. The Ralkovian state had given in so easily that it was deduced by some in power that they were biding their time or simply unstable. Still, the emperor’s insults were feared to cause a reaction from local Ralkovians and as such they were put to trial. This sparked even more trials of other nationals similarily in turmoil or perceived to be in turmoil at the time.

Still, there seemed to be no end to it and already some 400 ethnic Grestonians, Ralkovians, GWOians, and Stoklomovians had been executed. Government aids put out a statement for the emperor stating:

“The Emperor has no opinion for or against the trials taking place and leaves it to the local governments. Should they expand to more foreign nationals the Emperor will intervene and stop them. The Emperor urges decency in executions.”

In other news, a rebel settlement of negroes in Karain was rolled over by a tank division with 1,400 dead.

In further news, the nation of Govindia mysteriously disappeared beneath a mushroom cloud earlier Sunday.

Vice President Guy Tramble was taking care of President Greene's duties while he was recovering from his bullet wound. As he was reading the daily intelligence briefing, he came across the situation in Zukariaa. He checked with the Minister of Intelligence, and found that there were approximately 2 dozen ASoGM foreign exchange students in Zukariaa. Worried that they could be mistaken for foreign nationals from Greston, Ralkovia, the Grand World Order, or Stoklomolvi, he ordered the Minister to contact the project organizer, and arrange immediate transportation back to the ASoGM. He also ordered a travel ban until the situation stabilized in Zukariaa.
