During the nightly composition of Glamour's daily newspaper cycle in the offices of The Daily Illumination, a mildly infamous transgender avant-garde artist and exotic performer operating in the Fuchsia Light District of Stiletto, by the stage name of Anna Karinunta, has contacted the editor directly with an exclusive and explosive exposé regarding the President of Burleson. Prospective headlines read: Little Nick Appreciates a Woman With a ****, Nick the ***** Teleno is in Denial, But Anna Knows, and Karinunta Set to Lead Anti-Burleson Rally; Insists but Regrets Presidential Intimacy in a Dorchester Alley, and more.

" Listen. I was hired to perform at a 21st birthday party in January 31st, 1987, and the birthday party was in celebration of Nick Teleno. Why anyone would celebrate that thing, I don't know. But honey, let me make this clear, although I am absolutely not proud of it: I did have sexual relations with that man."

The veracity of the attention-hungry Karinunta's statements are debatable, but the paper insists that sensitive fetishistic information about an international pariah would sell papers like hot cakes.

The Cultural Liaisons Association of Glamour have advised against publication, and although the government is able to avoid such an event from taking place, it is known for its cultural rebelliousness, hatred of censorship and love of fabulous and trashy gossip.

The situation has been designated 7 minutes of discussion time during the government's nocturnal emergency Xerox meeting, and the final decision regarding censorship of the article will be taken by the Diva after her morning "exercise" and before the release of The Daily Illumination.

OOC: The alleged incident took place in '87 but the excerpt from the article is from the telephone interview with Anna who speaks presently. She claims to have never revealed this information due to shame, despite her outrageous history being simple common knowledge.

IC: The unencrypted e-mail above has been leaked to online social media by an unidentified government employee and activist. The state is currently investigating the source of the leak with a view to ousting them from government employment, for the mishandling of sensitive diplomatic material and the personal breech of the Diva's trust, who remains asleep and intoxicated in her chamber. Questions of hypocrisy and the personal integrity of Teleno are currently trending worldwide on social media, and the Xerox emergency meeting is in its final quarter.

Anna Karinunta has refused to comment publicly, is being sheltered by the government and the truth of her statements has now been rendered irrelevant. Teleno is the subject of trial by internet in the global court of (largely disapproving) public opinion. Protests continue in Fratatcra and have spread to Saffronia and Stiletto.

[Glamour]

OOC: The whole thing is pretty immature. I'm going along in the same vein. If your President declares war on gays, then a famous transsexual person or gay person is probably going to try and besmirch their reputation. And these things do happen in reality - usually, involving Republicans. I'm not doing any more OOC and the integrity of your President and his personal sexual preferences would be very relevant here.

We declared war on terrorists who happen to be gay. In 2001, the United States did not declare war on islam, they declared war on terrorists that happen to be muslim.

OOC: Yes. But they are terrorists because they are being actively discriminated against by your government in terms of civil rights with reference to the Sexual Immorality Act of 2014. Had this Act not been implemented, there would be no Gay Liberation Front. Also, anyone can become a Muslim. Not anyone can become gay. So there is a marked difference between theological and sociopolitical motivations of terrorists, and the suffrage of individuals living under a discriminatory government.

IC: Glamour has withdrawn its offer of asylum for any individuals from Burleson, regardless of their affiliation, due to Burleson's disregard for international law and irreconcilable differences between it and our government. We have done this under fear of covert, hostile infiltration of our territory under the guise of refugees. We are preparing to release a public statement regarding this escalating conflict and although we remain neutral, we instead offer asylum to any individual from any nation who is not in cooperation with the Burleson government.

Nahsooihs, Pig-dog Imperialist,

I see the day has come. The day your fascist backwater has been threatened by common sense, they day the people have seen their oppression and risen up against the scum that rules them. The day the people have moved, and noticed their shackles. Trust me. I saw this gem on the news when I got up, and it's still the best thing I've seen all day. Maybe this act of terrorism might teach you that it's foolish to oppress people for no good reason, especially seeing as homosexuality is not a choice, and it has occurred naturally in nature. But, regardless, we commend these freedom fighters, and wish your people luck in any further fights for freedom against your regime. To your people, I say, fight for freedom and slay the pigs above you!

Yours sincerely, Premier Bahlarahtoes Pohrfierahoes and The National Worker's Council.

        I, Federal Commander Eli Asadoori offer my deepest condolences to the county that has been affected by these terrorist attacks.

We also offer you refuge for the citizens that were affected. An airstrip and an An-26 passenger plane have been reserved at the (NEA) New Erebuni Airport. 
The Ararati government will also send aid of three-million dollars worth of food and water to to the capital of Burleson to be transported to the stricken areas. 
The Holy federation will start producing an emp to counter the enemy aircraft and comms, this, however will take a lot of manpower and time.
Our national church services will pray for the nation of Burleson. May God be with you.

The National Worker's Council and The Sebtopiariot People are in awe of your fight for freedom, and we will happily airlift you supplies, weapons and even artillery and vehicles if need be so that you can kill as many of these pigs as possible. We might even send in a regiment or two with some tanks, snipers and motorised infantry to help you if things get hairy. Also, if you are defeated by your government, we offer all of you asylum in Sebtopiaris.

Good luck, and viva la revolution!

A suicide bomber affiliated with the DGLF has attacked the maternity ward at the Nelson County Medical Center killing 44 people, including 26 newborn infants and 14 women. A note was found outside of the hospital stating, "The attacks will continue until all Burlesonians accept our agenda. Those who do not accept the whole of it will be put to death, with their families."

The Reich is saddened by this leftist attack on innocent civilians. The Fuhrer understands the danger that leftists present. He will speak about these attacks when he delivers his speech at the 2014 Nuremberg Rally. May Burleson continue their fight against the leftist beast! Heil Hitler!

[Serrian]

Finally, a logical complex clicks within Synapse's processing arrays, and a decision is reached.

Despite it being late into the night, Allen Mallory is awoken from the deadest of slumber by an aide who hands him a printed set of instructions, directly from Synapse. Opening it up with dread, Mallory pales as he reads it, and rises off his bed to go and write a formal letter to President Teleno.

To President Teleno,

As you stand in contradiction of numerous World Assembly rulings, as well as refusing to follow either course of action acceptable in such a situation, the United Meritocratic Federation of Serrian has no choice but to form a declaration of war upon your nation unless you stand down.

We will put in a request for a third party organization to resume humanitarian aid for civilians within your nation; however, ours will be withdrawn. Attempting to interfere with the safe departure of the twenty CT-05 "Odyssey" humanitarian aid aircraft currently within your borders will not end well, so please do not try to break even more international convention.

Please note once again, Mr. Teleno, that while we as a nation disagree with your political ideology, this is not because of that; it's because international law is something which must be held in sanctity.

You have twenty four hours to repeal the laws that are in violation of WA rulings. If you do not comply, a combined international task force will be assaulting your nation. I will personally attempt to keep them from attacking until these twelve hours are up.

Best regards,
Allen Mallory
Synapse Representative

While Mallory prepares to write a second letter, adressed to the Anti-Burlesonian coalition, the officers at Terminus Island finally get their orders from Synapse. Hundreds of CT-05 aircraft are prepared and loaded with infantry, vehicles, and Unit Five attack drones, as well as over three hundred PD-092 dropships. All it takes now is one launch order.

Meanwhile, Mallory writes a second letter:

To all whom it may concern of the anti-Burleson coalition,

As the representative for the Super-National Politicontrol System, reigning control system of Serrian, I implore you to hold off all military attacks on Burleson until twenty four hours have elapsed. The best way to resolve this situation is diplomatically, and while Serrian is also preparing military forces, we would prefer to not use them. I have requested that their government repeal their GAR-breaching laws, and if they do not comply within the time I have set, we will be only too happy to assist in the invasion.

Once again, please; hold off for just one day. The more lives are spared, the better.

Best regards,
Allen Mallory
Synapse Representative

And now, the final part of the plan. Mallory found his phone, lying on his desk as usual, and began dialing. A very special call was going out.

From: Nick Teleno, Republic of Burleson
To: Nations involved in warfare

This war, which was originally just an operation to eliminate a terrorist organization within our borders, has unnecessarily been turned into a "complete shitstorm", as Gen. Mathew Cole put it. This war is putting countless innocent lives in danger. The people of Magnolia Island being affected by this are just farmers, not military targets. This war has turned them into such. There has been no legitimate reason for anyone else to get involved in this war. Gays not getting what they want is not a reason to start a world war, especially considering that gays only comprise an estimated 0.009% of the Burlesonian population. This country was founded just recently, in 1965, and was and has always been mainly populated by religious Christians, meaning that is is rare that any of our morality laws are not followed. You people are wasting your resources on a meager segment of our population.

In October, the gays of Burleson were given the option to leave Burleson to avoid prosecution for their crimes. For anyone who did not take this opportunity, they just didn't choose the smart option.

I implore all nations involved in this war, think before you do. "Will this really benefit us or anyone?"

If you think that this is an action which requires your welcome, let alone one which you have any control over, you are incredibly naive. I am enforcing a no-fly zone due to the fact that your Coalition is taking no steps to de-escalate the situation, and is in fact acting in a hostile and counter-productive manner. Somehow loading an island estimated to be less than 10 km2 with nearly 10 000 troops and 2 000 tanks, and threatening to indiscriminately bomb and shell the population centres (despite the island only having a population around 250 people) will only serve to further increase the severity of civilian losses.
