EurIOT: The Apocalypse

Russia fears that the burned ballots that the electoral results were meant for a yes! The illegitimate government of Ukraine have officially vandalised a legitimate election! Hence we call for a secessionist representative to be set to Moscow. Mr Putin wants a word about the election. The People's Republic in their quest to join Russia must be given a voice. We are not going to sit idle while ballot papers are burned. If necessary Donetsk will have to have a second election as to do a more valued counting.

Important news from the best democracy in the middle east

Israel, concerned with the growing spread of disease in both Syria and Lebanon, now realizes it must act before Husabekutyun does what Hitler or Hamas have failed to do; wipe Israel and the Jews off the map. Under pains of anti-Semitics going around and trying to declare us imperializing again, Israel announces Operation Zion.

This defensive operation will make sure Israel is completely and totally guarded against both the natural spread of the disease from Syria and Lebanon to Israel, while also making sure no crazy insurgent acquires the weapon and fires it in the middle of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

Firstly, Israel announces it is hereby closing its border with Lebanon, effective immediately. The last thing we want is for an infected refugee to cross the border and spread the disease to everyone. Therefore, IDF elements are being set to set up checkpoints on any major road leading out of the country, to immediately stop all traffic and turn it back to where it came.

Secondly, Israel will revisit a total naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. The risk of some crazed terrorist moving biological weapons in on boats outweighs the potential PR disaster this move makes, so we will therefore mobilize the navy. Any and all ships wishing to enter the disputed territory will be stopped by Israeli ships; any contraband biological weapons will be seized and the smugglers will be tried. Then, non-humanitarian ships will be turned around. Attempts to resist will result in being fired upon. We apologize for any inconvenience

Unfortunatly, ships like these are resuming the blockade. Safe seas, however, are important for Israeli safety

Third, Israel will institute a no-fly zone over the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Once again, we will not fancy the idea of terrorists bringing in biological weapons from the air. Clearly marked humanitarian flights, such as from the UN, MSF, or the Red Cross will be personally escorted by Israeli fighters to their designated location of operations. Otherwise, no planes will be going in or out. We again apologize for any inconvenience

Finally, Israel will suspend any and all flights from nations with significant outbreaks of Husabekutyun. Currently, this will only apply to Syria and Lebanon, but more nations will be added to the list if the disease continues to spread. Also, flights from foreign nations in general will have more thorough inspections for suspected cases of Husabekutyun. Anyone suspected of being infected will be detained and eventually deported. Please, if you suspect you are infected, stay out.

Safe, non-infected airports are paramount for nation security

Thus, Operation Zion is now in effect starting immediately. If any nation has any questions about the provisions, feel free to ask.
 
That's actually a rather good plan ya have there, too bad Iran or some other bloke's gonna get bloody pissed about it.
 
New President for France

Following the recent resignation of President Hollande, France has held a referendum to elect it's new president.
While on the voting lists there were many local candidates and over 90% of France's Parliament, the winner was apparently the American actor Chuck Norris. 62% of France voted in his favor.
Upon finding out about this, Mr. Norris responded with "Better than shooting ads for WoW!", packed his bags , and came to France to take his seat as President.

While small groups were unhappy with this decision, France is a democracy, and relies on the power of the people. And the people voted for Chuck Norris. Arguments arose as to whether it was all because of the internet culture viewing Mr. Norris as an almost god-like being, which he himself stated it's false, but most of the interviewed population that voted for Norris said it's because "Even if Norris and politics don't have anything in common, he's still better than Hollande."

A short conversation with former President Hollande revealed that he burst into laughter upon hearing the people's decision, but nonetheless, he respects the will of the people, and wished Mr. Norris good luck .

Mr Norris stated that he will not use his fame, influence, money or martial skills to enforce his views upon the Parliament and will act as a normal President. His first decision, that everyone seemed to agree upon, followed by giggling and laughing, is that no French TV channel would make Chuck Norris jokes without written consent from him, apparently because , quote, "I will do my best. I do not promise I'll be the best, and I know you'll make jokes about it, but at least tell me beforehand. I'll agree to most of them, if they don't insult me personally too much ."
 
"The required personal qualifications for a candidate for the presidential eating contests are the same as those for any other official eating contest, as set forth in the French Electoral code (Code électoral). A candidate for an eating contest must be a citizen, have attained the age of 18 years, be qualified to vote, not be ineligible by dint of a criminal conviction or judicial decision and have a bank account."
I'm sorry but how can Chuck Norris become president of france if he's not a citizen of france.
Please act somewhat seriously.
 
OOC: he was awarded French citizenship upon the results of the votes becoming public. Also, he's taking intensive French lessons, although his accent doesn't really help. And I'm dead serious. What's wrong with him? The people want him, the govt said okay, act as if he's another guy you've never heard about that suddenly became president of a nation. He exists, so he meets the requirements. And I'm basing this off a RL story about presidential elections having Chuck Norris as the result. Yes, that was old, it was a joke made by a lot of people and was dismissed by the govt of that nation, but hey, the society evolves. Learn to accept, embrace the change, enjoy life.

He needs to be french to be a candidate.
If you can't behave rationally then I'm sorry but please leave.
 
Okay. But I'm taking Chuck Norris with me.

Now that i'm out, tell me: which is more rational: a democratic election putting Chuck Norris as president, or a nation such as France being weaker than pidgeon and unable to take decisions for itself because "someone" decided that "popularity is low cuz your president sucks hue hue hue" .
I was ready to quit once I saw christos starting to greece us all to death . Now you're telling me a democracy cannot be democratic because a change in the system "didn't follow the rules" even if I CLEARLY stated that it did. We all know democracy is not what it should be, but not respecting the will of the people because of an antique requirement is really lame politics. What you did was like telling me I cannot speak English because i'm not American. Well then, stikken op wiet, cived.

Moderator Action: The GM gets to set the tone and rules of the game. Play by them, or don't play. Either way flaming is not allowed.

The latter. It seems like you don't understand the IOT you signed up for.

You're trying to defend making Chuck Norris president of France. Stop acting as if you're taking a bullet for the greater good.
 
Your Dutch wasn't even gramatically correct. Please try harder if you're going to tell me to bugger off in my own thread.
Popularity is a direct measurement of what YOUR PEOPLE think of the government. If NO ONE LIKES YOUR GOD DAMN GOVERNMENT YOU CAN HARDLY BE A MODEL NATION. Also france still makes a decent amount of influence from provinces alone.
Also, you're going in direct contradiction to laws signed in the 60s. If you could have Norris as president AA could become the US, Robert could become princess celestia and also giant balloons could defeat the disease.
But no, go on, tell me how the GM is at fault for having an idea of how to run his game. Tell me to kill myself; you're going to and tbh have already done so by telling me to choke on weed.
 
:popcorn:
 
OOC: Be serious Chester: Chuck Norris will not be President of France, nor should France be cursed with him.

Your playing a serious IOT: this is why I am playing Mr Putin as oppose to Mr Rasputin.
 
OOC: I would of used the example of Boris Yeltsin instead of Grigori Rasputin.
 
OOC: both area dead; both are well considerations.

BTW: you should join this game Mr Jehoshua. We could do with your antics. ;)
 
OOC: You know Jeho, Cived added the EU as a functioning party (seeking of which, WHERE ARE TURKEY'S REQUIREMENTS FOR JOINING, IM GETTING IMPATIENT AND CURRENTLY THINKING ABOUT FORMING MY OWN ONE WITH FELLOW TURKS that is all) So he could possibly add the Papacy.
 
Joining as France. How much influence do I have?
