John collapsed into the chair at his office desk. He was utterly exhausted, but his legislation has passed Parliament. All it required now was his signature. He signed the law with a fancy cursive stroke. Now, effective tomorrow at noon, abortion would be expressly legal in Columbia. Before, it was a gray area where no law existed on the procedure that either criminalized or legalized it. Now, it would be a protected right. He had managed to get most of Parliament on board, making compromises with the Liberal Democrats to limit the amount that the National Health Service would pay for it, limiting it to one fully paid per year. All parties that voted yes were happy on the matter, he had fulfilled a core campaign goal, and his coalition hadn’t been torn apart on the issue. He was riding high.

Due to your membership in the GCN (GENA), and the Angelical Cross Organization, which was absorbed by the GENA, we have to unfortunately decline your application to the International Freedom Coalition, under Resolution 25 of the IFC, which prevents applicants from being apart of military organizations that run counter to the democratic values of the International Freedom Coaltion.
You are free to make an appeal to this ruling, given the news that GENA has been dissolved, however keep in mind that relations with former-GENA states will be a deciding factor in considerations of said appeal. Thank you for your time.

Language: Zeleniyan Russian (slightly American English-ized version of Russian), although many Zeleniyans can also speak English to a degree as well (the younger the more fluent, the older the less fluent).
Brief History of your nation:
Zeleniya was a Russian colony (that includes the analogous territories of British Columbia, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan) founded in the mid 1700s that became very populated with people that were banished or had escaped from Tsarist Russia. In the 1850s numerous Zeleniyans rose up in revolt against the Russian Government, however they were put down though they were granted autonomy, similar to the Dominion of Australia's relationship with Britain. In 1905 the Zeleniyan Government declared it's independence from Russia after it's humiliating defeat against the Japanese, with it's existence being guaranteed by the United States. Zeleniya then severed ties with Russia when it became communist in the 1920s and grew even larger as a result of a large-scale exodus of White emigre fleeing from Soviet Russia. Zeleniya then became a de facto dictatorship from the 1960s, aggressively hunting down communist elements within and beyond the country up until the late 1980s where large-scale protests forced the hard right-wing government to resign and reintroduce effective, pluralistic democracy (albeit still crushing down on Communism). Since then, Zeleniya has become a thriving democracy with very high levels of development, technological advancement and cultural vibrance, facing challenges in terms of demographics, it's continued hard-on against communism and far-left extremism and the cynicism of recent generations.

OOC: Culturally, Zeleniya is an Americanized Russia/Eastern European slavic culture with elements of South Korean and Japanese culture infused with it. And since 2009, music such as this (an alternate version of this song of course) can be considered major cultural export to the world stage. Also another export is Americanized versions of Russian cuisine, such as Chili-Cheese Borscht and Four-Loko-Kvass (popular among college students). Also, the country is also 89% White Zeleniyan, mostly descended from Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians and other Eastern European peoples, with virtually no Native Americans within the country due to Old World diseases and brutal colonial practices by the Russians and early Zeleniyan Government effectively wiping them off the map. Due to it's connection with the old Russian bloc, Zeleniya also has more Muslims and other minority religions per capita than it's neighbors in the US and Canada, although much of the country is either absentee Orthodox or irreligious. Also beauty standards are very high in Zeleniya, with skin whitening and good hairdressing, fashionwear influenced by contemporary Zeleniyan celebrities often being a feature. So yes, Zeleniyan men and women of all ages average on the high end of beauty internationally.

The name of Zeleniya originates from the word "Green," or зеленый (Zelenyy), which is the one word that pioneer explorer Dmitry Yelizov used to describe the forested cascades of Zeleniya upon first discovering them in 1730.

Justice Office announces that drug trafficker's execution will proceed, despite international outcry

The Zeleniyan Government has announced, in response to international criticism, that it will proceed with the execution of Jamal Thompson, an American native to Los Angeles that was arrested while going through customs at Yelizovo Suvorov International Airport after having been caught five months going into the country with drugs far beyond the amnesty limit, which is the known limit that, if exceeded, will automatically render someone for the death penalty.

Before he landed after hailing a Zelenavia flight from Los Angeles five months ago, agents of the Zeleniyan Federal Police Agency ran through publicly-available records of Thompson, which stated that he had recently been released from California's San Quetin State Prison after serving a five year sentence for drug dealing. After landing and breezing through the passport checkpoint at customs, Mr. Thompson would be called to Secondary Screening where Federal Agents discovered one kilogram of liquified fentanyl hidden in his baggage. Immediately he was detained and transported to the Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex where he was kept for five months to appear before a federal judge. Upon appearing before a judge five months after being detained, Mr. Thompson confessed to bringing in the fentanyl with the intent to sell, refusing to list any potential clients he had queued for future transactions. Federal Judge Ivan Petrov of the 1st Circuit handed an automatic death penalty to Jamal, stating that it is handed to him for the intentional smuggling of 1kg of fentanyl, far above the amnesty limit of 100 mcg, which requires extensive paperwork with the Justice Office and an officially sanctioned prescription approved by the Health Office, his domestic Health Agency (in this case the US Department of Health and Human Services) and a board-certified, government-sanctioned physician in Zeleniya who would keep him accountable.

For the past month, Mr. Thompson had been kept in the Death Row Section of the Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex. During this time, activists in America, particularly from the African-American Community, strongly condemned the Zeleniyan Government's treatment of Mr. Thompson, accusing the Zeleniyan Government of "arbitrary arrest" and "gross human right violations," and calling upon the United States Government to pressure the Zeleniyan Government to release him. Shea Louise Thompson, Jamal's mother, described her 24 year-old son's time in Zeleniyan prison as "torture" and "hell beyond imagination," accusing the Zeleniyan authorities of maltreatment. Protests in the form of mid-scale picketing rallies in front of the Zeleniyan Embassy of Washington, D.C. and the Consulate-Generals of Seattle, Chicago, New York and Houston, occurred throughout Mr. Thompson's detainment. The hashtag #JusticeForJamal quickly became associated with the Black Lives Matter movement and it's internationalization, with organizations such as Amnesty International and the Human Rights Commission calling for his release and repatriation back to America.

Early this morning, however, the Justice Office has formally green-lighted his execution. In a press conference, the Press Secretary of the Justice Office, Adam Barkov, stated that:

(Translated from Zeleniyan Russian) "Mr. Thompson's punishment is well-within the scope of the National Security Law, which strictly prohibits the illegal smuggling and distribution of drugs. If it were not for the vigilant uniformed men and women that detained him at the airport, that one kilogram of fentanyl would have killed over 500,000 people and have dramatically affected and ruined the lives of five times as many more colleagues, friends, significant others and loved ones. By signing his name on those [Pre-Entry Screening and Customs Declaration] forms and crossing the amnesty line at the airport without hesitation, he has indeed acknowledged his understanding of the grave consequences that come with attempting to upend the livelihoods of half a million Zeleniyans by means of drug trafficking. Drug traffickers are on the same, low level as rapists and murderers, and shall be handed the death penalty, for such deviant acts have no place to be carried out within this country. It is in this regard that we shall proceed with carrying out this sentence."

President Suvorkin, in addressing the press in his daily press conferences, added to the recent announcement in light of a flurry of international controversy that has resulted from it:

(In English) "The media and many non-Zeleniyan people have rather colorful language to describe our system here, almost as if they think they can run this country better than the people actually living here. (Chuckle) We freely welcome whatever criticism they may have, and we encourage our citizens to have this sort of conversation. The fact that this is being discussed only emphasizes the need to set examples out of people such as the criminal drug trafficker in question. In America, drug traffickers go through prison and then they are glorified by the music industry that pampers them. In Zeleniya, they have no place here, and I'm not the only one that stands by this: the people and the families of Zeleniya very much will reciprocate this same sentiment as do the victims of drug abuse and other horrific criminal acts."

Activists on twitter are strongly critical of his response, seeing that he has refused to Mr. Thompson by name but only as the "drug trafficker in question." Tamir Johnson, one of the cofounders of the activist group known on twitter as @theBlackCollective, strongly condemned President Suvorkin's brief statement:

"The fact that he spent no less than 30 seconds to not even mention Jamal by name is beyond reprehensible. #JusticeForJamal #BlackLivesMatter," wrote Johnson under the twitter handle @theBlackCollective.

A recent independent poll taken over the past week shows that an overwhelming 76% of Zeleniyans approve of Mr. Thompson's death sentence, with 15% being apathetic and around 9% being critical of the ruling. This statistic consistently falls in line with recent conversation across Zeleniyan social media, with Zeleniyans mainly condemning Jamal Thompson and expressing their support for the death penalty served upon him.

More on this story as it develops.

UPDATE 11:45PM
The Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex has confirmed, through social media, that it has carried out Jamal Thompson's execution by hanging "for the gross charge of drug trafficking."

The strong anti-communist sentiment originated mainly from the masses of White Russians that escaped to the country after the victory of the Soviets, and also waves of anti-Stalinist dissidents that immediately took the chance to leave after Stalin's death and subsequent migrations of people from the Soviet Union.

Language: Zeleniyan Russian (slightly American English-ized version of Russian), although many Zeleniyans can also speak English to a degree as well (the younger the more fluent, the older the less fluent).
Brief History of your nation:
Zeleniya was a Russian colony (that includes the analogous territories of British Columbia, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan) founded in the mid 1700s that became very populated with people that were banished or had escaped from Tsarist Russia. In the 1850s numerous Zeleniyans rose up in revolt against the Russian Government, however they were put down though they were granted autonomy, similar to the Dominion of Australia's relationship with Britain. In 1905 the Zeleniyan Government declared it's independence from Russia after it's humiliating defeat against the Japanese, with it's existence being guaranteed by the United States. Zeleniya then severed ties with Russia when it became communist in the 1920s and grew even larger as a result of a large-scale exodus of White emigre fleeing from Soviet Russia. Zeleniya then became a de facto dictatorship from the 1960s, aggressively hunting down communist elements within and beyond the country up until the late 1980s where large-scale protests forced the hard right-wing government to resign and reintroduce effective, pluralistic democracy (albeit still crushing down on Communism). Since then, Zeleniya has become a thriving democracy with very high levels of development, technological advancement and cultural vibrance, facing challenges in terms of demographics, it's continued hard-on against communism and far-left extremism and the cynicism of recent generations.

OOC: Culturally, Zeleniya is an Americanized Russia/Eastern European slavic culture with elements of South Korean and Japanese culture infused with it. And since 2009, music such as this (an alternate version of this song of course) can be considered major cultural export to the world stage. Also another export is Americanized versions of Russian cuisine, such as Chili-Cheese Borscht and Four-Loko-Kvass (popular among college students). Also, the country is also 89% White Zeleniyan, mostly descended from Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians and other Eastern European peoples, with virtually no Native Americans within the country due to Old World diseases and brutal colonial practices by the Russians and early Zeleniyan Government effectively wiping them off the map. Due to it's connection with the old Russian bloc, Zeleniya also has more Muslims and other minority religions per capita than it's neighbors in the US and Canada, although much of the country is either absentee Orthodox or irreligious. Also beauty standards are very high in Zeleniya, with skin whitening and good hairdressing, fashionwear influenced by contemporary Zeleniyan celebrities often being a feature. So yes, Zeleniyan men and women of all ages average on the high end of beauty internationally.

The name of Zeleniya originates from the word "Green," or зеленый (Zelenyy), which is the one word that pioneer explorer Dmitry Yelizov used to describe the forested cascades of Zeleniya upon first discovering them in 1730.

Justice Office announces that drug trafficker's execution will proceed, despite international outcry

The Zeleniyan Government has announced, in response to international criticism, that it will proceed with the execution of Jamal Thompson, an American native to Los Angeles that was arrested while going through customs at Yelizovo Suvorov International Airport after having been caught five months going into the country with drugs far beyond the amnesty limit, which is the known limit that, if exceeded, will automatically render someone for the death penalty.

Before he landed after hailing a Zelenavia flight from Los Angeles five months ago, agents of the Zeleniyan Federal Police Agency ran through publicly-available records of Thompson, which stated that he had recently been released from California's San Quetin State Prison after serving a five year sentence for drug dealing. After landing and breezing through the passport checkpoint at customs, Mr. Thompson would be called to Secondary Screening where Federal Agents discovered one kilogram of liquified fentanyl hidden in his baggage. Immediately he was detained and transported to the Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex where he was kept for five months to appear before a federal judge. Upon appearing before a judge five months after being detained, Mr. Thompson confessed to bringing in the fentanyl with the intent to sell, refusing to list any potential clients he had queued for future transactions. Federal Judge Ivan Petrov of the 1st Circuit handed an automatic death penalty to Jamal, stating that it is handed to him for the intentional smuggling of 1kg of fentanyl, far above the amnesty limit of 100 mcg, which requires extensive paperwork with the Justice Office and an officially sanctioned prescription approved by the Health Office, his domestic Health Agency (in this case the US Department of Health and Human Services) and a board-certified, government-sanctioned physician in Zeleniya who would keep him accountable.

For the past month, Mr. Thompson had been kept in the Death Row Section of the Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex. During this time, activists in America, particularly from the African-American Community, strongly condemned the Zeleniyan Government's treatment of Mr. Thompson, accusing the Zeleniyan Government of "arbitrary arrest" and "gross human right violations," and calling upon the United States Government to pressure the Zeleniyan Government to release him. Shea Louise Thompson, Jamal's mother, described her 24 year-old son's time in Zeleniyan prison as "torture" and "hell beyond imagination," accusing the Zeleniyan authorities of maltreatment. Protests in the form of mid-scale picketing rallies in front of the Zeleniyan Embassy of Washington, D.C. and the Consulate-Generals of Seattle, Chicago, New York and Houston, occurred throughout Mr. Thompson's detainment. The hashtag #JusticeForJamal quickly became associated with the Black Lives Matter movement and it's internationalization, with organizations such as Amnesty International and the Human Rights Commission calling for his release and repatriation back to America.

Early this morning, however, the Justice Office has formally green-lighted his execution. In a press conference, the Press Secretary of the Justice Office, Adam Barkov, stated that:

(Translated from Zeleniyan Russian) "Mr. Thompson's punishment is well-within the scope of the National Security Law, which strictly prohibits the illegal smuggling and distribution of drugs. If it were not for the vigilant uniformed men and women that detained him at the airport, that one kilogram of fentanyl would have killed over 500,000 people and have dramatically affected and ruined the lives of five times as many more colleagues, friends, significant others and loved ones. By signing his name on those [Pre-Entry Screening and Customs Declaration] forms and crossing the amnesty line at the airport without hesitation, he has indeed acknowledged his understanding of the grave consequences that come with attempting to upend the livelihoods of half a million Zeleniyans by means of drug trafficking. Drug traffickers are on the same, low level as rapists and murderers, and shall be handed the death penalty, for such deviant acts have no place to be carried out within this country. It is in this regard that we shall proceed with carrying out this sentence."

President Suvorkin, in addressing the press in his daily press conferences, added to the recent announcement in light of a flurry of international controversy that has resulted from it:

(In English) "The media and many non-Zeleniyan people have rather colorful language to describe our system here, almost as if they think they can run this country better than the people actually living here. (Chuckle) We freely welcome whatever criticism they may have, and we encourage our citizens to have this sort of conversation. The fact that this is being discussed only emphasizes the need to set examples out of people such as the criminal drug trafficker in question. In America, drug traffickers go through prison and then they are glorified by the music industry that pampers them. In Zeleniya, they have no place here, and I'm not the only one that stands by this: the people and the families of Zeleniya very much will reciprocate this same sentiment as do the victims of drug abuse and other horrific criminal acts."

Activists on twitter are strongly critical of his response, seeing that he has refused to Mr. Thompson by name but only as the "drug trafficker in question." Tamir Johnson, one of the cofounders of the activist group known on twitter as @theBlackCollective, strongly condemned President Suvorkin's brief statement:

"The fact that he spent no less than 30 seconds to not even mention Jamal by name is beyond reprehensible. #JusticeForJamal #BlackLivesMatter," wrote Johnson under the twitter handle @theBlackCollective.

A recent independent poll taken over the past week shows that an overwhelming 76% of Zeleniyans approve of Mr. Thompson's death sentence, with 15% being apathetic and around 9% being critical of the ruling. This statistic consistently falls in line with recent conversation across Zeleniyan social media, with Zeleniyans mainly condemning Jamal Thompson and expressing their support for the death penalty served upon him.

More on this story as it develops.

UPDATE 11:45PM
The Yelizovo Metropolitan Corrections Complex has confirmed, through social media, that it has carried out Jamal Thompson's execution by hanging "for the gross charge of drug trafficking."

RP example (required - can be anything from a short paragraph on this form to a link to an RP example on another thread):

Prime Minister Södergren sat in a chair, nervously watching the broadcast. His Social Democratic Party was projected to win the election, but that was no guarantee of being able to form a coalition. What if his coalition partners lost a significant amount of votes and he couldn’t form a government? He would either have to form a minority government with the King’s consent or he would be out of his job as Prime Minister. Even with a minority government, he would constantly have to worry about passing every little piece of legislation, and avoiding votes of no confidence.

However, all his worrying was for naught. The results came in from the Scandinavian Electoral Commission, showing a 27% plurality for the Social Democrats, as well as the ability to form a coalition government with the other three more left-wing parties. The rest of the people at the Social Democratic Party headquarters cheered at the news. Södergren went to his office at headquarters, obtained when he was elected party leader. He began drafting a coalition agreement to the Green Party, Progressive Alliance, and Left Party, similar to the one created four years ago between the 4 parties.

RP example (required - can be anything from a short paragraph on this form to a link to an RP example on another thread):

Prime Minister Södergren sat in a chair, nervously watching the broadcast. His Social Democratic Party was projected to win the election, but that was no guarantee of being able to form a coalition. What if his coalition partners lost a significant amount of votes and he couldn’t form a government? He would either have to form a minority government with the King’s consent or he would be out of his job as Prime Minister. Even with a minority government, he would constantly have to worry about passing every little piece of legislation, and avoiding votes of no confidence.

However, all his worrying was for naught. The results came in from the Scandinavian Electoral Commission, showing a 27% plurality for the Social Democrats, as well as the ability to form a coalition government with the other three more left-wing parties. The rest of the people at the Social Democratic Party headquarters cheered at the news. Södergren went to his office at headquarters, obtained when he was elected party leader. He began drafting a coalition agreement to the Green Party, Progressive Alliance, and Left Party, similar to the one created four years ago between the 4 parties.

After conducting an internal investigation, the membership status of Atlantic Federalist Republic will be demoted to observer status for a period of Three Months.
Suspension of membership status includes all but not limited to the Mutual Defense Pact, Blue Cross Aid, Council Voting Privileges, any and all IFC-PKF commitments from fellow member-states to the AFR, any and all Coalition-sponsored economic privileges, etc.

Any Coalition financial obligations will still be expected to be paid by the AFR to the IFC Treasury as if it were still a member during this probational period.

AFR Council Delegation is still allowed to be present within the chamber to listen in on discussions, however it needs to be reiterated that during this time the delegation cannot vote on any resolutions.

The Probational Period starts immediately (16/08/2022) and will continue until (16/11/2022) in which membership status will be restored to full member.

If AFR continues to engage in OOC behavior that is not up to player standards, (i.e. continuing to endorse OOC espionage against other players) then they will be ejected immediately.

Thank you for your time.

Due to violating Resolution 25 while still under member-ship suspension the Atlantic Federalist Republic will officially have its member-ship status in the International Freedom Coalition REVOKED and will be subsequently ejected from this alliance.

The Coalition does not take this decision lightly, however repeated violations must be addressed.

Joining the GENA successor alliance, UADC is in direct violation of Resolution 25. The reorganizational period (90 Days) originally given to members has been judged in this case, will not be used on the basis that the AFR was already under suspension from the alliance for previous infractions and was downgraded to observer during this time.

Joining UADC for "economic matters" does not dismiss the fact that the AFR has joined UADC: a known successor alliance to the GCN/GENA and an alliance that is openly hostile to the principles that the International Freedom Coalition stands for.

It is with great sorrow that this happened, but as a responsible alliance, rules are rules.

Is your Government by the people? (exercised either directly or through elected representatives or with democratic elements): Yes

Major Exports: Oil, timber, iron, and other raw materials
Major Imports: Consumer goods
Language: French
Brief History of your nation: Paleo-age South Americans immigrated over the Gretchen-Talos land bridge 1,800 years ago, and European colonization first occurred in the mid-14th century. The unified republic emerged from France as the 14 Colonies Olpenaises de France and from England, the English Colonies in the Southern Isles established on the East and West Coasts respectively. Corporate disputes with France led to big business revolting and installing a puppet emperor. Order to get to the new world through the West Coast led to a corporate invasion of that side of the island. In the early to mid 18th century, South Olpen has gradually been expanding inwards from the coast. This frequently led to mini wars with native Olpenese over the previous land, which almost always ended in a federal victory. This led to a massive decrease in the population of natives, from 48% of the population to 12% by 1800. Despite the immoral acts, the nation did expand. It went from 26 states during the unification of the east and west in 1765 to 38 states and 18 districts by 1807. Slavery was legal until 1810 when the Décret sur la Loi sur L'esclavage was passed outlawing slavery. In 1833, South Olpen proved its efficacy by easily defeating Brazil and half of South America. A fascist takeover was successfully implemented in 1883 and fell apart by 1910 hailing the second republic. The nation was among the allies in World War 1 and World War 2, and that further proved the strength of the nation. The country’s first taste of Cold War era competition was the Brazilian Civil War, where the United States and the USSR fought a proxy war in Brazil. The war was ended when Olpenese troops liberated the nation from occupation and transitioned it into a fledgling democracy. The nation was also a competitor in the Space Race. The Olpenese Space Agency (OSA) was the second to make it to the moon after the United States.

21 September 2022 | 20:41 PM (CEST)

MIGHTY engines of the F-35 powered up as the warplanes taxied to take-off. These gracious, beautiful and state-of-the-art jets were generously provided by the U.S. of A to the Batavian Kingdom as part of a special military agreement. Now, after many trainings and tests, they might see real action. Several minutes earlier, radar systems indicated two aircraft penetrating Batavian airspace in the north of the country. They have been confirmed to be Russian bombers, probably sent to intimidate the nation after the arrest of Russian-seperatist general Radenkov, who is awaiting trial on the International Criminal Court for warcrimes.

RP example (required - can be anything from a short paragraph on this form to a link to an RP example on another thread):

As the president looked through the window and watched the massive wave of people holding signs and blocking roads, he had a feeling this wouldn’t go well. He ordered the army to stop the protestors using any means necessary, but as soon as the media finds out, he would be done for. Just then, his secretary burst into his office. “Mister President! Bad news. Someone found out” she said, panting, after running up two flights of stairs. “What! HOW! How could this happen?” said the president, angrily. He slammed his desk in frustration. After years of being in power, it was his time to go.
