Official Public Statements of His Grace the Imperial Prefect of Siberia:

Re: Uranium

The government of the Imperial Province of Siberia is proud and happy to welcome His Majesty's Uranium Corporation to Tatarsk and the surrounding territory. Imperial investment in the Tatarsk region, and the wealth generated by the extraction and refinement of uranium in Siberia, will greatly benefit this Province and its people.

Re: Rights of Homosexuals

The government of the Imperial Province of Siberia maintains the official stance that a homosexual problem does not exist in Siberia. However, the administration recognizes that a few homosexuals may exist in Siberian territory, as a result of accidental radiation release from uranium mining and nuclear generators, or from the spread of homosexuality from neighboring provinces, by airborne inhalation or accidental cross-border contact with homosexuals not yet exhibiting external symptoms of homosexuality. Therefore, the government of the Imperial Province of Siberia authorizes its various police agencies to continue the traditional means of dealing with this problem, by throwing all homosexuals down a well, so our country can be free.

Re: Subversion

It is the sentiment of this government that all persons found to have expressed treasonous thoughts about our beloved Emperor or Empire should be executed.

Our people have agreed that economic relations may begin. The purpose is to serve God, and the money we gain from this shall be used to raise the poverty level.

We also would begin to raise a defensive force, if only to quell the riots. We are sure that His Majesty would mind. It would be, of course, completely voluntary. Our people would love to serve God in this way.

Thank you, kind sir. May our populace flourish!

To: Council of Merchants
From: Lucien Freud

You have gone and contradicted yourself.


-Council of Merchants in Official Statement


-Council of Merchants in response to The Rising Sun Congoveronate

Rights are unable to be taken from the populace. Priveledges are given to the populace from the government. I have made no contradictions. I say that freedom must not be taken from the populace at any time, because it is a right.

So to you, the King is only an instrument that stops corruption, and does not deserve loyalty for any reasons other than that? More and more abominable heaps of anti-imperialism.

The King is here to keep the peace, not to impose any laws upon the people that it rules. The King should just prevent war, not compromise his anyone's freedom. We are only against the king when he opposes that basic rights of the human race.

SUBJECT: Defence
BODY: The King notices that you are building up a defence force. Being King, Lord of all the Realms, and he who can do whatever he pleases, including the creation of any laws upon the people that he should rule, and given that the King is completely sovereign, and that it is by the Grace of God that he rules, and that all freedom and authority derives only from the permission of the King.....he would like to offer that the National Defence Force (the national army) station troops in your Governorate so that you need not go through the economic and political cost of raising troops.
In fact, he highly advises that you accept this offer.

OOC: By the way, everyone should be sending in orders....I do have some, gleaned from this thread, from Tycoon and Lightfang....surely all of you have something you could be doing

OOC: Orders later today.

IC:

The King is here to keep the peace, not to impose any laws upon the people that it rules.

"It"? In any case, the King is here to RULE, and he does indeed RULE as you had said, and to RULE means, amongst other things, to impose such laws as seem fit - if you are unaware, it is called "judicial powers".

"The King is just here to prevent war"? Even more outrageous. You are most fortunate that the King is as merciful as he is.

HM Imperial Region of Pacifica Australis
Directives to the Executive Chamber;
Authorized; SubParliament Pacifica & The Office of Governor General Dekius Leo

…[Excerpt, Special Attention Abstract]

Spoiler :

Item 1. Standard of Living Indicators (SLI) show continued lagging in material prosperity, disposable income, rendered public services, and vacation time in the zones of northeast Australia and central and eastern Papua and Jaya. Formerly depressed Western Jaya has continued to benefit greatly from the construction and operation of the Fak Fak Zeppelinport (construction ended 14 years ago), but at present funds have not been authorized for another such large, materially expensive undertaking.

Our Nature and Preservation Department, however, has come in under budget for the fifth time out of the last 7 years, and calculations indicate that even with the additional costs of American South Pacific fishing management (see below) enough funds will still remain over this ten year period for the commission of publically supplied preservation projects, which we have now undertaken to set in motion.

As many locals as possible, with outside expertise as necessary, will be hired to first study and then set up procedural and physical safeguards for the sensitive ecological sectors, namely, the Papuan/Irian and Northern Australian rainforests.

Our biological experts have supplied an iterative process, (which happily fits within budgetary constraints) for gradual isolation of non-ideal external factors to the forest system on a monitored variable/control group system.

We will take this opportunity to introduce Rising Sun’s new wheat seed variety and its NutriFood(tm) to enclosed environments to determine its level of interaction and effect on the local biological and mineral/nutrient environment and ascertain its feasibility for widespread introduction to fringe agricultural zones, namely the Deep Outback as well as Tidal Ring Growing Facilities.

Goals:
A) Ecological and biological resource study and preservation.
B) Employment for locals.
C) Study of quality and attributes of new crop varieties.
D) On site development of advanced management, study, mechanical, and delegation work skills for employees which they will be able to use effectively on this project as well as carry to other public or private employment.


Item 2. This regards integrating appropriate functions of the Pacifica Australis Internal Civil Security Forces (ICS) and Internal Information Acquisition and Control Forces (IIAC) with the new Imperial Ministry of Loyalty Officials (MinLoy).

All due efforts will be taken to insure that MinLoy operations with the proper authorization and clearance levels will be given the information, resources, and latitude they require to attend to their authorized Imperial duties as effectively as possible.

The ICS and IIAC will continue to operate within official and legal standards, only pursuing persons and activities suspected or known to be genuine and substantial threats to our region or the Empire as a whole. All operations, unless Imperial orders dictate otherwise, will remain within the Judicial framework of due process, and frivolous or inconsequential matters will be left to local authorities to address or leave be as they see fit. Only extraordinary circumstances, requiring the direct and explicit command of the King or his authorized agents will permit any infringement upon guaranteed citizen rights of freedom of security, thought, speech, association, et al.
This restrictions Do Not Apply to properly authorized MinLoy agents or explicitly waived ICS or IIAC operations.

By focusing our efforts on serious and legitimate threats and using standards as directed by the mandates of Imperial Justice and Regional Governatory templates, we will have all the better chance to stop and break down serious and legitimate threats to Imperial domains and citizens maintain the functionality, loyalty, and objectivity of our own justice and government apparatus.


Item 3. A Special Budgetary Extension has been approved for the purpose of civil cleanup, repair, and structural and service efforts for the incorporated city of Sydney and surrounding areas that require unusual efforts to return to working order following the significant temporary increase in number of residents and the widespread celebration and excitement on and around the time of the Royal Family’s visit. A special oversight committee has been formed to ensure proper use of extra allocated funds.


Item 4. A recommendation from the 4th Special Sea Community Council has been accepted to, until further notice, restructure the application process and content for new applicants in light of the recent significant increase of number of applicants. With the larger number and greater variety of applicants, we will be looking for a more skilled and otherwise more suitable selection of new residents. Past or current residents and those already in the process of applying are exempt from the new applicant guidelines.


Item 5. Creation of service office to implement the Royal Family’s Public healthcare plan for those that select it as their primary healthcare coverage. For those not using the Imperial or alternate private plans, regional healthcare options still apply. We expect the number of users switching to the Royal plan to be small, but we will have to reallocate funds away from our own system and towards the Imperial coffers once we see exactly the shift in healthcare plan selection. A committee is currently in the process of being formed to study and oversee the necessary transitions and future reallocations.


Item 6. This item regards fishing and ocean stocks in our regional zone of management waters in the Pacific Ocean near South America. Recent studies have concluded that most fish and other sea life in the areas has recently been negatively affected, based on numbers, stability, and specimen health. The major contributing factor is expected to be unregulated overfishing and poor fishing practices outside of the Pacifica Australis zone of control within the extra-regional Unrestricted Access Ocean Zone, primarily by fishers registered by or originating from The Mercantile Union of South America.

In order to protect ocean biological resources, we must enact efforts to study ecosystem qualities, both from current samples and past archived data, determine helpful and harmful interaction data, take breeding stock, and set up new habitats, initially in isolated areas where local ecology will not be disturbed, for raising of stock to be reinserted into original locale to keep an economically sustainable level of extractable biological marine resources.

This must only be a temporary effort. A more satisfactory solution must be found which does not require us to subsidize without compensation or reciprocated benefit the economic activities of other regions.


Item 7.Marriage certification and all the attendant rights and duties thereof, within Pacifica Australis Residential Zone of Authority, is hereby extended to any two consenting resident adults, be they of same, different, undetermined, or intermediate gender, provided:
Both individually and as a couple meet and agree to follow the requirements, for so long as they choose to retain its certification, of the newly updated Marriage Licencing Guideline, which now applies in its strictures and granted benefits to couples without favor or consideration of the gender of either or both of the involved parties.

We do not appreciate other, lesser, rulers to demand anything of us. Stay out of our internal affairs, or you may force us to take action that you might find detrimental to you. Our economy prospers and our citizens are happy. Remember that.

Other Information (History, etc): California Worldwide Entertainment and the California Free Economic Zone.

With fingers in almost every News Organization worldwide, and every form of entertainment on the planet, their influence is second only to that of the World Empire. Their home is the California Free Economic Zone, a place where almost anything not banned by the World Empire can be traded, sold, or bought. But change is in the wind. Over the past 50 years, some subtle, but unsettling trends have been showing up in their work. With the resent upswing of War Pictures, Action Films, and CWE's insistence on using real (though unloaded) weapons in the pictures, it looks like they might have something planed.

FROM: Imperial Principality of Greater New Wales
TO: His Imperial Majesty, King George XXVI

We will agree, but we caution that our principality is carefully balanced and that the best course is equilibrium. Even so, our loyalty to the Crown is unsurpassed and we will increase our payment.

As for other matters, while we do not presume to dictate to His Majesty, we humbly request that those who speak out against your rule be promptly suppressed and destroyed. They rule only by your favour and when they act against you, they act against the world. Their wayward behaviour must be corrected. We join the other nations loyal to you in calling for punishment of those arrogant fools who speak out against you.

OOC: Orders tomorrow.

I we do not appreciate other rulers threatening us with unfounded claims. If there was a misunderstanding, let me clarify; I thought that ALL the headlines must be answered, no just the ones for my contry. I'm sorry if there were any inconveniences.

 

[das]

And since when is your duty to answer "headlines"? The headlines aren't important, the actual issues are. And even then, it is common decency to let different subdivisions work with their DOMESTIC issues themselves.

OOG: To be honest, I didn't understand the idea of the headlines until I saw my nation's name in there

Let me just clarify: I meant no harm by my comments on the headlines, I just misunderstood the concept of them. Should I just edit my post, so all the excess stuff is cut out?

 

[das]

If a real-world political figure says something stupid, can he take it back? Yes, he can, and often would. But most others will ignore that. And the line between IC and OOC probably shouldn't be broken unless absolutely necessary. No offense intended, btw.
