What should Molsona do with atheists

[Gebidia]

The Coalition of Catholic States will not in a million years allow for one of it's members (Molsona) to be invaded without a decent attempt to reach a peaceful resolution.

Gebidia condemns the disturbingly excessive militarism and anti-Catholic policy of the RIR. We resent Il Borgia Vaticano's declaration of a Crusade, as any type of Crusade based on religion is not the "true Christianity" that it claims to represent. If Molsona is attacked without any regard for the process of peace by the RIR and it's allies, a large Gebidian peacekeeping force WILL be deployed to defend the integrity of Molsona.

We continue to hope for a successful peace agreement, and the safety of both the Molsonan Catholics AND Molsona's small Atheist minority. As such we will be attending the peace conference.

[Mistelemr]

Deport them to my country, we'll take them with open arms

[Wisconsin9]

Apologies to the Molsonan delegation, but worship is undertaken privately in the CSW, and there are no churches, Catholic or otherwise.

[Kummen]

The Federation of Kummen wishes to make it known that it will not be present at the talks in any capacity, official or otherwise. However, we will honor the ultimatum and take no action beyond moving our forces to the Molsonan border until we either receive a reply, or until the ultimatum expires two days from now.

[The Saint James Islands]

You may want to include a seperate line for head of government, as many nations separate the two roles; the head of state of a particular nation, like the Saint James Islands, might not have any political power at all. I've included a separate line for HoG, as the roles are separate and the HoG has the real political power.

The Commonwealth is honestly appalled at the current state of affairs in regard to Molsona's policy. We are, in the interests of human dignity and freedom of conscience, disturbed by the recently declared policies and laws Molsona has passed. We are, in the interests of peace and diplomacy, disturbed by the warmongering and threats made against Molsona. Therefore we wish to attend these talks as a neutral party, in hopes that a diplomatic solution to this impasse may be found.

There is no Molsonian border, we're an island country

[Molsona]

Apologies to the Molsonan delegation, but worship is undertaken privately in the CSW, and there are no churches, Catholic or otherwise.

The group of delegates would like to bring a priest along with them to lead a Catholic Mass for the Molsonian delegates and any other attendees of the conference who wish to attend the Mass.

Feel free to bring any religious figures you feel necessary.

[Galliand]

Nation name: Galliand
Position and name of conference delegate(s):
Akim Vlitzchev, Minister of Diplomacy
Number of security personnel: 5
Number of non-security attendees: 6
Special concerns/requests: We want a room overlooking the building so we can keep an eye out. We won't bring any weapons that can shoot that far, though.

[Sancta Sedes Romana]

The Theocracy of Sancta Sedes Romana condemns the poll regarding atheists in Molsona. Under democracy citizens of any nation should have freedom of religion, with which comes the freedom to be religious or not religious. Athiesm might not be a Christian ideology but it's presence should be acknowledged and accepted. And to merely answer the poll, the answer should be 'none of the above'.

Although Sancta Sedes Romana is a Roman Catholic nation, the well-being and basic rights of all citizens are upheld, and atheists would be welcomed if unjustly deported by Molsona.

Any actions taken, that harm the well-being and basic rights of a human being, may trigger a response.

[Wagafraga]

The Czardom of Wagafraga condemns Molsona for taking Gods word the wrong way. We are taught to evangelize, not persecute, and that life is sacred. That being said as the leader of the Coalition of Catholic States Army we shall defend Molsona and will invade RIR and any other nation that wishes war on Molsona.

Nation: Wagafraga

There is no Molsonian border, we're an island country

We count the landmass and surrounding islands near the Molsona to count. We should have worded that better.

OOC: I did not know that.

[The Northern Collective]

Nation name: The Allied States of the Northern Collective

Position and name of conference delegate(s):
Fabricator-General Malcolm Doyle
Secretary-General Allen Howel
Chief of Staff Artyom Zenislev
Chief Diplomat Molotov Demisnki

Number of security personnel: 50 Home Guard Elite Shocktroopers

Number of non-security attendees: 8 (2 aides to each delegate)

Special concerns/requests: A suite lower to the ground, 3rd or 4th floor is preferable. We do not like heights in the Northern Collective.

We've been part of this from the beginning and we intend to see it through to the end.

We also would like to applaud Molsona for agreeing to these talks and giving everyone a chance to smooth out these tensions. Also, we would like to thank Wisconsin9 for holding these talks in there borders and recognize the difficulty of setting these sorts of things up.

Hopefully, we can come to a better resolution than war and executions...

[The Northern Collective]

OOC: I'm a bit worried that this will go down in Nationstates history as the first unintentional religious war.

[Molsona]

There is no Molsonian border, we're an island country

We count the landmass and surrounding islands near the Molsona to count. We should have worded that better.

OOC: I did not know that.

The closest land to Molsona that isn't part of Molsona is Bermuda which is 200 miles away...

[The Greater Afghan Republic]

Molsonan Government,

We are shocked and appalled that a nation that wishes to call itself civilized is still committing acts of unwarranted murder that was only allowed in the dark ages. that age is half a millenia passed, and these barbaric practices are no longer acceptable. We demand that these innocent people be turned over to more competent governments who will not discriminate on petty religious beliefs with the death penalty.

[Wisconsin9]

The Molsonan Religious Law Conference is now up.

[Kummen]

OOC: I did not know that.

The closest land to Molsona that isn't part of Molsona is Bermuda which is 200 miles away...

IC&OOC: Tomahawks can reach well past 200 miles. Besides, it's all semi-academic, seeing as Molsona has a little over 24 hours until the ultimatum expires.

[Karrgath]

Forced Military Service or Work Camps is a viable practice for political dissidence so why not apply it to spiritual dissidence as well?

[Picts]

Statement:

In the name of democracy, the basic rights of all human beings, the freedom of religion and the right to choose, the freedom to be religious or non-religious,
the Kingdom of Picts condemns the actions of the government of Molsona and is prepared to stand with coalition forces if war becomes inevitable.

[Ammar]

Molsona, The Desert Republic of Ammar is willing to provide you with protection, if you are willing to comprimise with one thing. Unblock me and we'll talk privately.

[Kummen]

To those who lead Molsona, the deadline has long since expired, and we have received no reply. However, because you are at a conference to rectify your policies, as well as avoid war, our government has chosen to extend the deadline until the 20th. If by then there is no reply, we will be forced to assume that you have chosen to reject our conditions and declare war on the the Federation of Kummen. We await a response from Molsona in the near future.

[Warburgsteinlandiastan]

HMSEBH, Rodney II, regrets not being able to send a delegate at this time. However he has arranged with the Grand Inquisitor, Arch Cardinal Jebediah, for the preparation and delivery of 200 gallons of special grape flavored drink mix (non-alcoholic) to be served as a refreshment to the delegates. Rodney is providing commemorative paper cups with his own funds. Now drink up and smile.
