At this time, the Europeian government wishes to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the use of the illegal script known as Predator as well as any form of collusion with former players determined to be DOS by NationStates Moderation. We also condemn those players and organizations who facilitated, in any way, the propagation of these crimes. We view these actions, whether perpetrated by individuals or organizations as a matter of policy, to be wholly unacceptable.
As a community that has traditionally placed a genuine emphasis on fair play, ethical practices, and cooperation in good faith with our military partners, we are deeply offended by these actions which have undermined the integrity of our game. Activities such as are being alleged are irreconcilable with our values.
In light of this, military cooperation and, further, diplomatic relations of any kind between the Republic of Europeia and all regions or organizations directly implicated in this sordid, illegal behavior including but not limited to DEN, The Black Hawks, and The Black Riders are hereby suspended until such a time that NS Moderation publishes a ruling and findings of their investigation regarding the Predator controversy. We encourage any players who have yet to come forth and provide site authorities with any information they may have relating to this matter to do so with all haste.

This is a strong statement by Europeia, but opens the door to this only being in effect very temporarily. Obviously it is waiting to see Moderation's ruling but it leaves one wondering whether or not Europeia plans to take further action after Moderation's ruling, what kind of action that might entail, and who it might apply to. Basically what I'm wondering is if Europeia anticipates that moderation will act sufficiently to deal with the grievances the region has that have arisen from this Predator issue and what Europeia will do if Moderation does not.
