What is there to discuss? These people are charged with sexually abused children and failing to pay their taxes. It's a rather simple consept. TELL me how I am breaking their Rights and I will think about letting a delegation from your nation come to the Empire for discussions. Because all you have stated is random crap without any real evidence to back up your claim that I am breaking their Rights.

Mr.Terrace why specifically aimed at the Catholics. I guarantee you that there are child abusers who are still on the loose and you aren't chasing them down god damn it! Mr.Terrace the declaration of war is going onto the Nebenzwieg floor. Unless you release at least 93 percent of those prisoners the declaration will pass.

Maybe because the only evidence that was put forward to us at first is from people who the Catholic Church attempted to, or actually did, pay off? For us to do a full fledged investigation, we need tips and leads that actually hold merit from the Citizens of the Empire. But if you are unable to let the Administration of the Empire do what the will of the people wish, then you are going to anger the people and they will most likely call for your heads on a golden platter.

William Katz hated arguing with leaders. Like he was some kind of...kid. Back and forth they went but to no avail. Damn it. His Vice-President Albert Gangsen sat in the couch across from him playing the now cancelled "Flappy Bird." "So any progress?" Albert asked as he approached 5 points. William sighed,"Nope none at all. Looks like we might be in our first war in 600 years."
"This can make or brake you Will,you sure you're going to go through with it?"
"Hell,I have no idea!"

Addressed to: Kennith G. Terrance of the Shazbotdom Empire
From: High Chancellor Justine Kepkhenkov
Subject: Recent Incidents

It has come to my attention that recent incidents have occurred in your nation which would seem to implicate members of the Catholic church in some form of criminal activity. Being a secular state, we do not typically encounter these types of problems, but that is not to say that we have not dealt with incidents similar to the one currently facing your nation. It is due to this that I offer the services of the National Security Bureau and it's agents in order to assist in the investigation. While I am not one to allow personal opinions to sway my actions, I will say that I respect your unflinching capacity to hold religious groups responsible for thier actions, rather than simply allowing them to do as they please without fear of state intervention.

I look forward to hearing a report on the progress of your investigation soon.

From: Repulaean Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Subject: Concern

The Constitutional Monarchy of Repulaea wishes to express its concern over the recent events that have transpired in the Shazbotdom Empire. Though we condemn the abuses of church officials as abhorrent, we hope Supreme Emperor Williams will heed humane counsel and not allow this tragedy to morph into a wider persecution of religious sects. With the sensitivity of the church's crimes being such, we advise caution and reason above all other qualities by which your response to these crimes should be governed. Do not allow passion and vehemence to dictate policy. This may lead to a more systematic approach to quelling this crime. The Empire must remain obstinate against the crimes of the church but also against those of its own laws. Therefore, the Constitutional Monarchy implores the Empire to tread with care.

We thank you for your kind words. While we would love any assistance in bringing them to justice, we will just let the courts handle the trials and if they are found innocent or guilty it will be on the courts and the jurors, not on any International Body. Our investigations have already concluded and all there is to do now is let the courts sort it out.

Yet someone else who is ignorant of the facts. Imperial Law states that anyone who is found guilty of Molestation of a Child will get 30 to 40 years in prison. Failure to pay taxes gets you 5 to 10 years in prison. Anyone found guilty of failure to pay taxes will be given the opportunity to relocate to The Sanctuary, an island colony of another nation that will treat them like their own citizens. The ones found guilty of Molestation of a Child will be put into prisons within the Empire. No one will be put to death. I repeat, NO ONE will be put to death. Please take your soap box with your ignorant mind and never send me a message again.

We also dislike when a religious organization abuses their powers and does things that would otherwise hurt their followers in a manner as it was brought to our attention that the Catholic Church did. Matters such as this are exceptionally sensitive and thus when the rumors and information was first brought to the attention of the Police Forces within the City of Livingston in the Imperial Mainland, it was taken very seriously. As evidence was brought forth to the police forces from nearly all the large Cities as well as the larger Towns, it went a far as that the majority of the evidence was checked a total of 6 or 7 times before they even decided to bring it to the attention of the Imperial Police Forces.
And even after it was brought to the IPF, they did their own checking on the information and did these checks 3 times on their own so that they made sure that it was legitimate. In no way will this be morphed into persecution of other religious sects if, and only if, similar evidence is brought before any of the Police Departments within the Empire. Within the Imperial Cabinet we have discussed the situation extensively and know that this will probably be something that we will not see again within our lifetime. That it will probably be something that our children's children will deal with at a later date but that will not be seen again in our time.
Though we have prepared for the worst in the manner of natiosn attempting to dictate how to manage our own internal policy, which is something that my office has received several messages for already, and we have decided that we will continue with the court cases.

Dear readers of this telegram I am here to briefly and bluntly inform you that the Socialist Republic of India and here allies shall not stand for your hostile actions against Shazbotdom and shall protect Shazbotdom it if necessary. Shazbotdom has done no wrong, it is merely rooting out corruption and child-molestation within it's borders, this is not religious persecution (if you want to see religious persecution lall you have to doo is take a look at our history post 1927), they are arresting these priests for crimes not based on their religion, the majority of citizens and members of the government of Shazbotdom are catholic so your claims go straight out the window under close examination.

We do not wish for a war and we shan't mobilise our troops just yet but we shall not stand for uncalled for aggression against a nation which has done no wrong, but instead is rooting out corruption and protecting children from molestation. If you continue your hostile actions against Shazbotdom we and our allies shall not stand idly by.

To: All nations belligerent nations
From: Repulaean Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Subject: Volatile Situation

The Constitutional Monarchy calls for calm during this trying situation. All belligerent nations risking or threatening military confrontation with each other in any way are only destabilizing the present diplomatic climate further. A deescalation of hostilities is necessary to curb the violent rhetoric and lift a shadow of armed conflict. If there are crimes to be punished here, they must be met by an international effort following a thorough investigation. Sanctions would ideally follow should crimes against the rights of man be proven evident in the Empire. Until then, Repulaea urges all belligerent states to withdraw their unnecessary threats of violence.

If necessary, Repulaea, and its organization of sovereign allied states called COSPN (Compact Organization of Sovereign Predum Nations) would be willing to launch an impartial investigation into the Shazbotdom handling of the crimes to determine whether or not such provocation is truly justified.

An Indian commercial airliner circled above the main airport of Shaz City awaiting it's permission to land, there was an Indian news team on board who were en route to the trial of several catholic leaders who are suspected of corruption, tax evasion and covering up child molestation. There were two men sitting on the left side of the plane just above the wing, they both had black hair and were wearing grey suits, brown leather shoes and sunglasses. The one furtherest left reached for a glass of water on his aeroplane tray, he had brown eyes and looked as if he hadn't shaved for a week, he was about 5 feet and 10 inches tall, aged about 40 and was reasonably fit, he looked at the man next to him who had greeny-grey eyes, athletic, cleanly shaven and about 27 years old
"What?" the second man said with a tone suggesting surprise
"Nothing Arjuna, it's just that I'm used to getting important stories which are well, dangerous" the first man said seeming disappointed
"This is very important Yash, it is an international incident, war could erupt at any moment plus, it is the first time in Shazbotdom's history that a major religion has undergone a major trial, in fact this happens very rarely in the world plus trials are usually fun, well I usually find them fun anyway" Arjuna said with a rush of excitement in his voice
"I guess you're right Arjuna this is a very special occasion but I think trials are a bore" Yash said seeming happier than a moment before

The little seatbelt warning light flickered on and a bell sounded before the pilot's voice could be hear through the loudspeaker "Hello passengers Captain Sunil here again telling you that we are about to land in Shaz City, please return to your seats if you are up and put on your seatbelts, please also turn off all electronic device for landing, thank you" after the pilot stopped speaking everyone on the plane carried out his instructions to the word in await for there arrival in Shaz City.

A white van with the seal of the Empire was parked near the terminal exit. A man held a tablet just inside the door near the that read "Indian Journalists". In front of the van were two Police Motorcycles and behind it was another single Police Motorcycle. This would be the motorcade that would bring the reporters to Shaz City Hotel, hand picked as the hotel to be used for the reporters by the Supreme Emperor himself.

Yash and Arjuna stepped off the plane and entered the terminal, they were followed by three others, Amrita their personal assistant and helper, Bipin the cameraman and Isha the sound guy
"Where do we go?" Amrita questioned
"We were told to make our way to the terminal exit, there will be some comrades waiting for us there" Yash said as they set off to clear customs, collect their baggage find the terminal exit.

It took about half an hour for them to clear customs and collect their baggage due to a sick border official who wouldn't let them through until a supervisor stepped in and took over, he processed them and sent them on their way before calling an ambulance.
"Look! Over there, the sign, it says 'Indian Journalists" Arjuna shouted scaring a local boy so much that he dropped his ice cream
"That must be for us" Bipin said
"Who else could it be for." Yash said rhetorically as they made there way towards the sign being held up by a man who staring at them with a strange look from just inside the door of a white van.

Prince Michael Turner watched the television screen flicker on.
"Is it fixed?"
The mechanic wiped his brow.
"Yes your majesty."
Turner made a motion.
"Get a beer an sit. You deserve it."
The mechanic took the nice, cold beer and sat.
"Lets see what's on..."
"-in the largest attack on the church in modern history, the nation of Shazbotdom has severely cracked down on Catholic churches across the country. The Vatican has condemned these arrests as "unwarranted and hasty".
The mechanic whistled.
"So they attacked the churches."
Turner sipped his beer.
"Yes they have. The child molesting bastards deserved it and shamed the cloth. That's why I'm a Methodist."
The mechanic sighed.
"Well I hope it clears up soon. The Church is angry."
Turner laughed.
"You fear the church? You know who I fear?"
Turner pointed upward.
"God. And so should those priests. Or they may never see his kingdom, only the fire and brimestone of Hell itself for them."
The mechanic looked up.
"Will you do anything?"
Turner shrugged.
"Probably some form of some condimnation. Personally, I'm kind of impressed he had the stones to do this. The Church is not just in his country but in all. He is not dealing with something internal, not really. The Church reconizes no authority other than its own. That is why Im not Catholic."
"Not to be rude sir but you didn't answer my question. What will you do?"
The Prince smiled.
"Send a diplomat to see its a fair trial for all I care. Anyway, want to see another channel. I hear that Ben Bur is on!"

We are thankful for your decision, Mister Terrance. Our representatives will arrive at Shaz City International Airport tomorrow morning, on flight D-01275 from Doardija. They will be unarmed as requested, and they'll be instructed to follow any disposition from your autority.

On a personal note, I would offer my moral and diplomatic support to your Emperor againts all those who fail to see the real nature of this serie of arrests. In my opinion, the main point of this debate is simple: no matter what divine entity anyone preaches, it is no possible excuse for breaking the law, for the law is equal for everyone. A criminal in a ceremonial vest is just a criminal.

Again, thank you for your help.

Open Letter from Anton Shrapnelin to all the Countries involved

Comerades, Highnesses and Honorable Representatives,

it is crucial that you understand once and for all what is really going on inside The Empire of Shazbotdom.
When a gang of criminals is arrested in any country for any reason, there is little to no response from the international community. It is considered ordinary administration: someone breaks tha law, the law intervenes and the offernders are stopped.
These men, named spiritual ministers by a religious community, have been found suspect of several major crimes against the Nation and the People; they must be arrested, interrogated and put under trial, regardless of the clothes they wear.
If found innocent after all, they'll surely be released; if not – and we think this is the case, since the many pieces of evidence the Empire is about to provide – they will be given the right chance to repay society.
I encourage you all to follow this issue and intervene with reason and diplomacy. Prejudice, fellows Representatives, is the worst enemy of justice; we shall overcome it.

I would like to start this letter by commending your police force with the rapid arrest of these "priest." Although not Catholic myself, personally I feel you've not only helped the Church but the Christian community as a whole by removing these devils in guise as Christians. I would also like to commend your leadership in this time as you handle these countries who seem completely blind and deaf to the situation and condemn you for your decision.

While I myself am not a professed Christian, these men did bring shame to the cloth that they are supposed to serve. The Supreme Emperor discussed this matter with various other religious officials for guidance just in case he was to call of the whole thing, but after discussions he decided not to use his executive power to stop the raids and let them happen in the manner that they did.
It also saddened us that so many nations would claim that we are breaching Human Rights, as they are something that we in the Empire take great strides in maintaining within our boarders. Even so much as letting religions do what they please as long as it does not violate any laws of the Empire. Polygamy is legal within the empire and many people around the Empire either practice it or have no problem with it. Only a small sect of the Empire, roughly 12.5389% at last census, disapprove of polygamy and many of them are from fringe groups within the Colony of Halnara.

[Delusija]

A Delusijan turboprop plane asked to the local ATC permission to land. A few minutes later, it was on the ground, unloading its passengers.
Seven Delusijan Police Officers waited at the airport for the government's van. The Commander in Chief, Zampolit Isidor Petrov, instructed his subordinates.
<<You have read the report, you know what is going on here. While I would be more than happy to use this event as anti-religious propaganda, it will not be allowed. This is nothing but an inquiry about international crime, and our purpose is to verify if the arrested clergymen had any contact with their colleagues in Delusija.
This Country, as far as i know, is not attending the MeszSoglaPol, thus we do not have much freedom of initiative.
Remember to be polite and efficient, and follow any direction they will give you. We collect the evidence we need, thank them for the cohoperation, then fly back to Delusija. Expect a lot of paperwork and hearings.>>

"I don't really see why I have to go watch the aftermath of some political trial, I mean, how is this even news?"

John Thorickstein, reporter for Channel 19 "Action" News, spoke into his new smartphone as he stepped off the plane. He wore a tacky hawaiian shirt and jeans, along with a pair of aviator sunglasses. The voice on the other end was his editor, Leeane Hart, who was best described by Thorick as a "tight-assed b*tch". She continued to ague with him.

"What you think is 'news' doesn't matter! The fact is that this kind of religious fervor makes for good ratings! Just go out there, get a few soundbites, a few pictures, and get your dumb ass home!"

He sighed, tapping the "end call" button. Muttering under his breath "Fine" as he grabbed his duffle bag from the baggage claim and stepping out into the light of the Shazbotdom empire's main capital, Shaz City. Thorick found it to be a bit of a culture shock, the place seemed a lot less pretentious and modern-looking than Haslau, which he found a bit refreshing. He still failed to understand why he, of all people, had to report on this kind of crap. I mean, seriously, send the intern to report on religious nonsense. But no, they had to send the guy that reported on the final offensive against the undead horde and the last major military offensives in the ChiChi Empire. Yeah, that's our guy.

He was supposed to meet someone here, but Hart kept it to herself as to who exactly it was. Sighing once again, he meandered over to the nearest pillar, snagged his phone from his pocket, and started playing a pirated copy of "Flappy Bird". Almost immediately losing, he closed his eyes in frustration. This trip was going to suck.

Probably the best picture I could find of what he'd look like.

Novaja Kaliningrad, Delusija

The temperature rose in reactor two, as the steam turbine of enigne one had already spooled up to idle. The Kirov Class Cruiser Dubrovnikzka was almost ready to leave the harbour. Within three days, the Blockade Naval Squadron would have been in place. According to Admiral Casir'agij, the Squardon would have had the following composition:

Kirov Class Cruiser Dubrovnikzka
Kara Class Cruiser Revolucija, former flagship
Kara Class Cruiser Krasnije Kvet'enij
Kiev Class Carrier Bezdomnij
Slava Class Cruiser Orij'ol
Durand De La Penne Class Destroyers

Vszdora

Arbaljet
Type 025 Destroyers

Zsnalek
Komandir
Rabotskij
Udaloy Class Destroyers

Udaloy
Szpash'enij
Szablija
Boris Galjorkin

Type-160 support ships would have shuttled supplies from Delusija, escorted by Krivak Class Frigates; seven more destroyers, a carriera, five Gotland Class, and three Yasen Class Submarines would have waited away from the blockade, in case of an escalation.

As the Revolucija left the harbour, the rest of the fleet held its breath.
