Let us begin the case of the region of 00000 A World Power versus the Republic of Govindia, regarding the banning of the latter. The case start off with opening statement from the prosecution, Regional Attorney AmericaXLI, and the defense, American Vampires. Afterward, the prosecution will give a responding statement to the defense's remarks, and then the defense will make an argument against what the prosecution has to say. Finally, I will council with the other judges, Biain the First and Fatalem, to gain advice on how I should make the final ruling. Any posts made out of sequence without further notice will be deleted. Both parties have permission to call forth witnesses as long as the court is informed of such. |

(I am going to be out of town on wednesday for a week, so this may have to get postponed at that point.) Thank you your honor, I as a representative of the people in the great region 00000 A World Power who have repeatedly called for the banning of Govindia. Both the senate and the people have voted in overwhelming majorities to ban a member that has constantly bothered and upset people. Are we not a democratic region? The people have spoken, and I am here to put an end to the disturbance that Govindia has caused. |

Thank you Regional Attorney AmericaXLI, now we shall have the opening statement from the defense. (btw, when you state a statistic such as when you mentioned the polls, it would help if you could cite your sources, i.e., provide a link.) |

Thank you, Your Honor. As the prosecution states, A World Power is a Democratic region, a region that offers citizens the chance to come and live and participate in the day to day actions of the populace. The basis of some of the citizens to try and ban Govinidia is because he in "annoying" and "bothersome". These are not valid reasons to kick a long standing citizen out of the region. In this case, the Defense will be challenging the Prosecution to bring forward one law, one solid fact based in law why this citizen should be removed from this region against his will. Unless that can be done and argued extremely well by the Prosecution, this case must be dropped and Govindia allowed to continue to reside here until such a time as he actually breaks a law. Thank you. |

Thank you American Vampires, now the prosecution will give a responding statement. However, I have a question for the defense. Do you disagree that if the majority of the population in a democracy wishes for a citizen to leave or be banished, that said citizen should be made to leave? Such ostracisms were very common in early ancient Athens. Surely Athens was a precedent for all of the real world democracies of the modern world, and thus the democracies in NationStates, and thus A World Power? |

Ancient Athens also existed in a time of slavery and public stoning. As we are here because Govindia is unpopular, perhaps we should simple stone him to follow Athens example. |

That is all. the case will continue when the prosecution gives a responding statemnent. And if you plan on calling forth witnesses, you had better do it now. |

If he wasn't warned, he should be. I already made it clear that no posts can be made out of sequence without prior notice. |

Has anyone heard from the Attorney? He was expecting to be gone a week and it's been a week and a half. I'm just worried something isn't right. |

Sorry things have been chaotic since I got home. Anyway. Greekamerican I have evidence here (that has been presented to the judge) that Mr Govindia continually nagged and harassed you, when the senate was discussing banning him, would you say this is true? |

Objection, Your Honor. I ask the prosecution to show where in AWP law "nagging" or "harassment" comes up. |

I will overrule that, because as it is, there is no concrete law of the region, the "law," as it is, is based off of the decisions of the Senate, court, and the people, as well as some precedent in real-life laws. |

The Defense asks that we move on with the case. Enough time has been wasted "waiting" for this witness, Your Honor. |
