Holy Marsh wrote:We are very pleased to hear that despite your reservations regarding religion and theocracies that you would not silence yourself to our pleas for aid should you ever receive them. That is the surest sign of a morally strong nation. That having been said, there is currently no need for us to make such pleas. Society is largely unaffected. School was affected on day one as the younger ones had difficulty understanding what had happened. However, school did not shut down and while that day was considered a wash, the day after went by largely without issue. A few small car accidents were reported and as you can expect the initial rush of confusion was massive. But pass that initial rush, there has not been any major disruptions to report. While a great deal are unhappy with this change, very few seem to have been seriously harmed. In time, and not a long time at that, we see this fading in importance to the level of getting your oil changed.

HOLY MARSH LEADERS WILL NOT SOLVE CHROMOSOME CRISIS
Theocratic leader absolves himself of responsibility; condemns population to an unwanted fate!
PROVING ONCE and for all that we, the People of Bemberna, are truly fortunate to have the Central Executive Committee watching over us, the dictatorial Arch Bishop of the Grand Theocracy has washed his hands of the unusual situation currently affecting Holy Marsh, claiming that it was an accident, and that he "sees no reason to resign as the Faithless have not been effected beyond the mere physical."
Reported on last month, the male citizens have been inexplicably converted into women in an event known dispassionately as "The Shift", after their leaders indulged in experiments with technology beyond their comprehension.
But while the citizens of Holy Marsh are left picking up the pieces, their government has banned any research into a way to reverse this. No outside help is being accepted, and it is unknown if the callous government is offering any psychological aid to its distraught citizens.
"While this religious leader of theirs may think that no damage has been done, the psychological effects of this monumental change could easily be catastrophic for those affected," Dr. Aynne Lawsone, a leading psychiatrist in the People's Welfare Service, told the Standard. "Imagine if you had been attacked in the street and disfigured - this is far worse, from a mental health perspective. If no way to reverse it is forthcoming, psychological aid should at the very least be made available. To withhold it, as they have done, is morally reprehensible.
"For their leader to dismiss [The Shift] so casually reinforces my view that the Central Executive Committee is the wisest, and most compassionate, government we could have wished for after the civil war," she added.
No apologies have been offered by the Marshite government either for their involvement in this incident, nor their casual disregard for the welfare of their People in their dismissive statement afterwards. It is truly telling that the response of the Central Executive Committee was more passionate, more reasoned, and more concerned for the People of Holy Marsh, than that of their own government.
In their statement, as you may have also heard from some unauthorised sources, the Marshite government also called into question the reliability of this paper, accusing us of "making up facts". We would like to take this opportunity to remind all readers that this newspaper is rigorously fact-checked and 100% accurate. We're also completely independent and free from government interference. That's why we're your most trusted newspaper, bringing you all of the truth, all of the time - unbiased, and honest.

SInce about 0.2 percent of the population is Marshite, the government has decided to flush them out.
Many men in Energia have fortunately not turned into women, but those that have had will be deported. All males will submit to compulsory tests if they are turning feminine.

We'll take any Marshites (and other undesirables) that you wish to deport.

My Friend, Archbishop Lainika,What has befallen Holy Marsh is indeed a surprising event, and potentially distressing for those affected. The Arthurian Federation, its people and its government, have no doubt that of any country, it will be your own that can best adapt to the circumstances now faced; Holy Marsh is, after all, unique in its treatment of gender, both socially and politically. I have personally seen reports of the Arturen Rejnbol Bund confirming these assertions.
Nevertheless, help is needed by even the best of us and it is for this reason that I write to you. The Arthurian government cannot offer you anything of practical value, for we are a small country and greatly inferior to your own in scientific achievement. What we can provide, though, is the assurance that the Marshite people will not be judged by Arthuria. You will not be threatened, mocked, derided or condescended by our nation or our state, and we will continue to affirm the great strengths of Holy Marsh. In short, we will not alter our policies or assessments in the wake of The Shift.
I understand, too, that in times such as this good intentions are often of negligible worth. Therefore, the Arthurian government asks you to keep us in your mind; whenever the Marshite people are in need they have only to ask us for assistance. If we can meet your requests, we will do so. It has been a long-standing policy of the Arthurian Federation to provide aid to those truly in need of it, and we will not cease on this occasion.
I hope that this can be of some relief to your government and people. In the meantime, Vestmanaeyjar sends its warmest regards.
Yours in friendship,
Federal Minister Runær Arnardotar.
On behalf of the Storting and the Arthurian People

Official Communique from the Latark Holy Order of the Golden Dragons
Disclaimer: The views represented here are of the private views of the government officials who have authored them, and do not represent the position of the Federation.An Open Letter Regarding the Transmutation Event Within the "Grand Theocracy."
We within the order are most fascinated by the events that have transpired in the the Holy Marsh, both as a significant display of the potential of paranormal powers and a promising avenue of study in regards to the transformation of the body. More cynically, this demonstrates a deeply disturbing example of how reckless use of such power can have enormous consequences. While some time has passed since the onset of the event, we within the Knights of Latark wish to extend an open hand to help in anyway we can.
As a matter of formal introductions: I am Knight-Commandant Asrian, Lord of Light of the City-State of Latark. I communicate the views of the ruling Council of the Knights of Latark; however, few of my fellows in the wider Federation share our interest in this event, though that could change quickly as I will soon discuss. For what it's worth, the general public thinks us a house of superstition, and word of the event that occurred within the Theocratic Empire has not been spread by major media networks, who have dismissed it as an absurdity. Our President, successor to the holy Emperor, has acknowledged our concerns and placed full faith in our ability to represent the Federation in this international issue, but is unable to give us official power to do so.
With that said, we have a number of concerns to be addressed to the appropriate leadership within the Grand Theocracy:With our concerns announced, we hope for a fruitful discussion with the Theocratic Empire, and perhaps move towards a world where the truth of the paranormal might be revealed to the general citizenry of the Federation.
- Firstly, we inquire as to whether any significant number of individuals are adjusting poorly to the change in their bodies. The Knights of Latark would gladly offer therapeutic aid using best modern evidence-based practice if any finacial or other barriers prevent them from doing so in the theocracy. For those who are reacting extremely poorly to the transition- either a suicide risk or a survivor of suicide attempts- we would like to offer an experimental set of treatments to restore the appearance of their original bodies, using the abilities granted to us by the Heavens.
- Secondly, we wish to have a discussion regarding the changes in mind and memories caused by this event. While the official position of the Marshite government seems to be dismissive, we find the mere possibility of such wide-spread mind-altering to be deeply disturbing, and our compatriots in the wider Federation share this concern. For our Emperor did decree: "None Shall be Held in Chains," yet this event seems to have demonstrated that individuals of ill intent may be able to access such technology or powers to throw chains upon all the world. We must be able to inform the wider Federation that there is no risk of a similar event resulting in wide-spread mind control by any being. If that possibility does exist, the Knights of Latark would like to extend a hand to ensure that that possibility is eliminated.
- Thirdly, we would like to have an open discussion regarding the role of paranormal abilities in the modern world; such matters are widely considered fiction in the wider Federation, but our nation's own history highlights the importance of using these abilities in order to be ready for supernatural terrors. Specifically, we wish to see to the creation of an international defense force making full use of such abilities, limited in scope to fight such abominations.
- Fourthly, in conjunction with the Lord of Thought of Dritlit, we wish to officially request access to any research regarding this event that the Theocratic Empire is willing to make public, so that we may determine a way to prevent similar events occurring within our Federation's borders or, indeed, across the world.
Gladly,
The Lord of Light, Asrian Night-Hunter, Commandant of the Knights of Latark

Honorable Arch-Bishop Lainika,
I am reaching out to you in regards to the four years of watching how The Shift has effected our populations of the Great Holy Marsh and of AHSCA. For centuries our two faiths, Marshism and Madokamisim have always worked hand-in-hand, side by side for the building and strengthening of our communities. We've continued to see the effects of The Shift on our own and Marshite practitioners in our nation with the change over to female along with several turning into neko, kitsune and female alike.
Over the course of the years through much prayer, meditation, it's come to us divinely, This is a true miracle willed by the grace of Holy Marsh and Madokami herself. It leaves little doubt also in our interpretations of revelations, Holy Marsh is indeed a Female Goddess and that it is true the Female are the chosen people of divinity. That said, it can't reduce the role and importance of men in the world as lifetime companions, fathers, teachers and other members of society and no doubt we expect the same love for unaffected men to continue as we know the people of the Holy Marsh Kingdom to still be kind. It is unknown what will Holy Marsh has for your people or Madokami has for us but no doubt our two faiths are truly more intertwined than previously imagined or thought.
The point I am reaching for is, this is a divine will and should be allowed to continue by the faith of your people and any attempts to force or change should be stopped. Do mind, this is only a request from a private citizen, we don't know what our Government will feel about it if they have any response. In the mean time, I hope you may consider writing me back so we may talk further. Hopefully in the near future I might even make it to Holy Marsh when the seasons change again and the seas become more manageable.
Blessings of the Light upon you,
High Priestess Himeko Himamiya
Church of Madokamisim
