Ban Religion - Be Exterminated (Attn: San Franutsco)

[Atlamar]

In response to the actions taken against Cerantia, Atlamar now proclaims war on Parthia and has prepared a crude Nuclear Missile (a relic from the Cerantian-Atlamic war which, coincidently, formed the alliance) to be fired upon Parthia's capital should they not provide humanitarian support to Cerantia. As stated by Cerantia, a military of 5.7 million is marching twords your borders. Comply or be fired upon!

[Cerantia]

(((OOC: You do know that if hundreds of thousands of ICBM's were launched, the world would literally end. The ensuing nuclear winter would litterally block out 95% of the sunlight, plunging the Earth into temperatures that none could escape. Also, having one hundred thousand nuclear weapons would cost 5,000,000,000,000 up-front, with a maintaining cost of 1-2 trillion annual. 10,500,000,000,000 upkeep for those soldiers annually (the second is approximate costs, based off of the cost of US military overseas). Please, don't make me continue, the strain on your economy would bankrupt your nation, unless every single dime is devoted to war...)))

OOC: Well, let's just say there was enough to whipe out Cerantia.

To: Relevant Department of the Parthian Government
Subject: Recent Nuclear Activities

While the Blessed Kingdom does not necessarily condone the widescale use of nuclear weapons it must be stated that we are in agreement to a degree over the cause of the launch and are certainly impressed by the apocalyptic scale of the destruction able to be unleashed. If it so pleases you we would like to invite an Ambassador from your fine Nation to visit Moskau to discuss how we might be able to negotiate closer relations; something we feel may be mutually beneficial.

Warmest Regards,
The Hon. Anton Czapski,
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade

[Genovia and Teck]

Declaration of War

Recently the United Government of Genovia and Teck has received news of nuclear attack on its ally, Cerantia. It is unknown what was the reason behind the attacks were, but upon further investigation we will find out. Due to the outrage in the two kingdoms and urge for revenge against the attacker, the United Kingdoms of Genovia and Teck declare war on Parthia for the attacks orchestrated. Deployment of Royal Forces begin immediately. We shall also aide with the rebuilding of Cerantia, by giving half of our loan back to Cerantia.

[Cerantia]

Cerantia graciously accepts your aid - the reason for the offencive action taken by The Parthians was because we were against the nuclear bombardment of ANY country or region, reguardless on said country or region's stance on the banning of any religion.

Also, if The Parthians are pro-Christian (like the bombardment of San Franutsco ensues), they must realize that they bombarded a pro-Christian Empire who also took in the Christians who were held hostage by San Franutsco. The official statements and discussion will be available shortly.

[Cerantia]

The discusions and events that transpired during the Ban of Religion in San Franutsco:

[Cerce Tentones's Office, Cerantiace, 1699 SST, 12/30, 20:20]

*Cerce reads the latest eddition of 'Sarkomian Times' over once again. In the headline of the 'International News' section, it reads:

Earlier today, the San Franutscan Congress has unanimously voted to officially ban Christianity, citing the recent surge of bans of Islam and Judaism being the reason behind the bill. As of now, Christians everywhere are being arrested and deported out of the nation, churches torn down, bibles confiscated, burned, thrown in the toilet, etc, and crosses torn down.

Cerce grabs his drink from the coffe table, and calls over his Offencive General, Nomanick Carver, who is also his freind and close confident. He tosses the rolled up paper to Carver.*

"Look what happened today," said Cerce, "yet again another abolishment of a religion."

"Yea," replied Carver, "no sence of honour in these foreigners. If they had any, they would stand up and put down the Christians instead of just - oh wait, they are."

"Why do you think I called you over? Sure, religions are being kicked our of countries left and right," said Cerantia's Emperor, "but mass slaughter of a relatively peacefull religion? There is no honour in that, Nomanick. If anything, it's cowardice."

"And why do you say that?" asked the Offencive General

"They are afraid of what they can accomplish. That's what their all afraid of - if they can convert enough over, they might just change people's minds into something anti-government."

"Sir, aren't you Christian?"

"Right now, I'm an Emperor. Country first, pray it all works out later." *Cerce sighs, and looks at the latest of the reports from the Contested Lands of the Atlamic-Cerantian war.* "Well, at least these Atlama are putting up a fight." *Cerce pauses, and looks at the reports again* "Sir, these show no losses on either sides - just the usual consumption of rations."

"Well," Gen. Carver said, "the Atlamic forces are in full retreat, and Borous is making his usual 'I'ma gonna nuke you if you don't withdraw!' statements."

"Eh, tell him we'll keep the contested lands, and consider the war nullified. Common, we've got work to do."

[Three hours later - a word goes out to all CME personell to withdraw to Cerantia - Emperor Tentones finishes his letter to San Franutsco and mails it]

To the Leader of San Franutsco:

I must emphasize my regret in your decision to ban Christianity. We frown uppon such actions, including the previos actions to outlaw the other numerous religions. All people are allowed the freedom of religion (or lack thereof) under Cerantian law and, considering that these Christians are no longer your citizens (or anyone elses), we can now consider them our citizens, as no one has claimed responsibillity. And, seing as how you are now holding Cerantian citizens hostage, you are to release them imediatly. If there is no response by this time tomarrow, offencive action will be taken untill all Cerantian captives are 'reclaimed'.

~Cerce Tentones, Emperor of the CME.

We refuse to lift our ban against the Homophobic, anti-other religion, anti-atheist extremists known as 'Christians'. If you wish to go to war due to your support for this intolerant religion, then so be it. Protests against your nations and Christianity in general are taking place in Sacramento, Bezerkly, and San Franutsco, calling Christians fear mongers, Homophobic, anti-Pro Choice, and against other religions, and for mistreating the environment and women in general.

Cerce Tentones, to the Leader of San Franutsco;

I humbly request not a lifting of this ban, but the release of your Christian prisoners into Cerantia. With these Christians in our borders, and not yours, you will have no one to oppose you. You still have aproximately 2 hours in which to do this before I go to war.

Sincerely,

~Cerce Tentones, Emperor of the Cerantian Millitary Empire.

Do Not Declare War. I am a Christian Nation , and if you are you would know that Jesus would not want bloodshed over a stupid ban if we could negotiate.

-Signed, President Caleb of the Christian Theocracy of Namabia

We will be willing to send the Christian Extremists to your nation.

To the President Caleb;

I, however, am not a Christian nation - I simply wish for the previosly mentioned terms to be carried out, as Cerantia has declared these members of no nation as theirs. This is in direct violation of Cerantian Oral Law under the protection of citizens - "Should any country take offencive action against any citizen of Cerantia, that country is to be retaliated against due to Reason of Treason." I will wage war to liberate my newly found citizens, if necessary.

Sincerely,
~Cerce Tentones of CME.

Cerantia thanks you for your cooperation. We expect these "Christian Extremists" to arrive at our borders on the marrow.

OOC: I believe this - taken from the OP - should set the matter straight:

The Shah scowled at the latest briefing of yet another ban on yet another religion. It was growing to be rather tiresome, and of course, needed to be stopped before it eventually came to a country banning the Zoroastrian religion, something the Shah intended on preventing from ever occurring. A message had to be sent, but how?

[Cerantia]

OOC: Not really - the discusion now is why The Parthians decided to bomb me for standing up for a nation that could no longer defend itself - and why it bombed a pro-Christian nation that housed San Franutsco's Christian prisoners after the fact.

[Allemande]

OOC: I believe that the OP made it pretty clear that he is not "pro-Christian":

[Cerantia]

OOOooooh... OK, then, pro Zoroastrian, sorry, my mistake.

[Nevennkebla]

With a muffled Roar, a Nevennkeblan FW-240, a high altitud flying wing cargo aircraft ghosted over what remained of Cerentia. The pilot turned, and looked at the commander. "A damn shame, that's what it is. Millions dead, and nothing we can do about it. The commander looked back at the door to the cargo bay. "Not nessecarily..." As the aircraft passed over Sarka, the bay doors ground open. packages began to fall out, chutes opening. 50,000 MREs floated down to land in the streets of Sarka. A note was taped to the first package to land. "Though our country is too small to render military effort, we can deliver humanitarian aid. This box contains a radio beacon. Place it where you wish future supply drops to occur.

Cerce Tentones read the note. It doesn't say what country it is... Cerce picked up the beacon. "Well, aid is aid, I guese..." he said to no one in particular. He looked up into the sky and whispered a thanks to whoever was out there.

[Nevennkebla]

Soon after, a steady line of supply planes traveled between Nevennkeblan and Cerantia, dropping crates filled with everything from food, to portable toilets, to pre-fab huts. A radio transmitter was also dropped, with instructions to deliver it to the Cerantian government to enable them to make requests.

A radio transmitter was also dropped, with instructions to deliver it to the Cerantian government to enable them to make requests.

Cerce Tentones, after a long debate, considers the radio transmitter. Many in the Cerantian High Senate (which represented the clans of Cerantia) considered this a dishonor that downplayed Cerantia's Might, Glory, and Honor. Cerce argued that withought these supplies, our Self Preservation of Honor would fail completely. The Senate met this with mixed results. In the end, he was allowed to contact them on behalf of the senate (Emperor Cerce Tentones could do it withought the support, but this could lead to political problems in the long run). He set a message on loop for the radio, if ever should someone listen to it.

To the recipients of this message;

We of the Cerantian Military Empire welcome your help most graciously. We require medicine and other medical equipment - food, clothes, and shelter is a surplus here, as Atlamar has graciously accepted us into their borders - however, not much aid other than that was provided, for fear of bombardment by The Parthians for helping us. Please, if medical aid is available, it would be much appreciated. I hope we can meet some day, and I also hope to return this favor eventually.

Sincerely,

Cerce Eugene Tentones VII, Emperor of the Cerantian Military Empire
