Holy Marsh

OOC: In this RP, your government will react to the demonstrations by the refugees and believers of the Holy Marsh. Nothing is strictly off-limits, but keep in mind that you can't start a war with the HM as it is in the throes of a CW so if you start gunning down people you won't be getting a war out of it.XD
"The Holy Marsh has been embroiled in a three-year long Civil War which has left not only tens of millions of people dead, but has made refugees of more than five hundred million. While we can not directly affect the outcome and anxiously await the end of hostilities so we may return home without shedding the blood of our brothers, we can still appeal to the base nature of both sides of this terrible war between believers and pray nightly for the end of hostilities. This is why on April the 7th, the day of the opening of hostilities, I call for all expatiates and Believers outside of the Holy Marsh to take to the streets in organized, peaceful demonstration..."
- Holy Marsh Refugee Alliance Spokesman Allison Watts, November 7th of last year, in a public letter.
April 7th arrived, and across not only Nova but indeed many other regions, both followers and expatriates took to the streets. Not only Marshites participated, but peace-loving peoples of all creeds.
Turnouts were expected to range anywhere from a few dozen in sparesely populated areas with few Marshites to millions in the countries with large populations.
One of the larger demonstrations was in the Tailville, where two and a half million Marshites turned out. It was just one of many demonstrations in Wagdog, and one of dozens that took place around the globe.
