Recently a self-described Mormon Prophet Lawrence B. Young a well known and prominent Mormon theologian of the FLDS church has been put in power as President of Utah after mass demonstrations done by fervent and radical Mormon zealots, they wore light blue head bands with the words in red "I bear my Testimony that the Book of Mormon is True and Inspired by God, that Jesus is the son of God and Lawrence B. Young is a Prophet of God" , the Radical Mormons had taken over all of Utah and had exiled many Protestants from the land, Utah was now a Mormon state, the Grand Prophet of Mormonism had now taken power but who would recognize this new nation.

Utah was now the United Order of Utah!

We thank you for these arms, the Soviet Union and the United Order of Utah are great allies!

[Ganos Lao]

In the interest of peace, we will ask the new government to allow all the Protestants, other non Mormons and any Mormon critics of the new regime to emigrate. We will gladly accept all emigres into our nation. We believe that the expulsed inhabitants of Utah should be enabled to live long and happy lives, rather than be little more than statistics in another miserable history.

[The Scandinvans]

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." (Peter 2:1-22)

Mormons, being a delusion of the falsely inspired Joseph Smith, is something which innately divorces one from their connection to God. By following the teachings of a false prophet do people ultimately doom themselves to an eternity being separated from God. Those whom are true to God must seek to correct such error. Therefore, in accordance with Scandinvan canon and common law, we do hereby declare the people of the United Order of Utah to be heretics and apostates. Therefore, they are subject to the following Scandinvan ordinances.

"1. All individuals whom are heretics, heathens, mongrels, tribals, apostates, lesser bloods, pagans, atheists, socialists, communists, degenerates, etc. and are from nations which do not have legitimized governments are hereby declared to be the property of whatever civilized individual brings them into the Empire.

2. Free Scandinvan men are henceforth once more free to engage in the slave trade as established by ancient custom be it through raiding, privateering, the utilization of grey markets, and de facto legal purchases from foreign governments so long as the merchandise being bought is not an individual protected by Imperial decree or by Scandinvan hereditary traditions." (Slave Code The Rights and Limitations on the Acquisition of Chattel)

Furthermore, Scandinvan subjects are free to disregard any and all claims that the United Order has to sovereignty.

Our rule is very tolerant of other faiths, you are just hearing obvious apostate propaganda, however it is true that many Protestants moved out of the country voluntarily to neighboring lands. Protestants just do not seems to want to hear the divine truth of our leader.

The humanitarian aid is admirable, but doesn't excuse the supplies of war being sent to Utah which will instill even more violence in the area, who in recent months have violently kicked out any non- Mormon from Utah.

Angered by the recent leak, that people now know that the United Order was being armed by the Soviets, the 'Grand Prophet' had this to say

We would have leaked this anyway, so this does not bother us, it may bother some of our opponents to know that we are being armed, in fact I have already begun making orders for even more weapons from various firms across the world, the Soviets weapons are a great reserve stock and also good for our secret police but more arms are being prepared, we will need the a large military to begin the Greater United Order!

Once the so called Prophet's wife had sent her letter, it was quickly replied to. The reply stipulated that the Empire did not believe in the false gospel, and that in the interests of peace, the Utah government should permit emigration to Ganosia, lest "harsher measures" be implemented, if not by the Ganosian government than by the governments of other nations.

Currently, there were numerous Protestants who were heading to Ganosia from Utah, clamouring for shelter and security in the face of rumored intervention by Scandinvan slavers. But Her Imperial Majesty's government had refused to initiate military intervention, preferring to seek a peaceful resolution to the crisis. And with the slavers of Erid on the heels of the humanitarian aid workers doing their best to help those trying to escape the country, it seemed like there'd be hell unfolding very soon.

I must first say that I apologize for some of my over-zealous brothers in this great faith that is Mormonism, you may return we however will not pay for the damages as it is not our responsibility for what over-zealous individuals do in the Mormon Church's name, I apologize that some brothers in the Truthful Mormon faith would do this to you it is very upsetting, but understand that Non-Mormons are good people also our faith teaches us that good people of other religions will be in the Terrestrial Kingdom, where most good and righteous people go!

From the desk of Tobias Al Hakim, President of the Central New Masada Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

"And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." - Exodus 21:16 KJV

Now there was no law against a man’s belief; for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds. - Alma 30:7

But Ammon said unto him: It is against the law of our brethren, which was established by my father, that there should be any slaves among them; therefore let us go down and rely upon the mercies of our brethren. - Alma 27:9

I much enjoyed discussing some recent amendments to canon law with your Patriarch Thomas III, including some very complicated theological issues. It appears to me that in the matter of the United Order, both sides are in error. The new Mormon state, while expulsion of Protestants must not be official state policy, also bears the responsibility to attempt to prevent such sectarian strife from destabilising the country or impacting negatively on the human rights of the populace. The Empire, on the other hand, threatens the brothers and sisters of the Church with capture and sale, likely causing further destabilisation of the Mormon state.

I am no supporter of the Fundamentalist Church. They cling to age-old traditions that have led to billions of Mormons being stereotyped as having dozens of underage wives and creating public hostility against us. Now, they do to the Protestants as was done to them in the early years of the Church, driving them out from before them.

I would propose an interfaith meeting as a neutral party. I want to see this crisis defused before any needless bloodshed and suffering takes place.
