The People's Republic of The CNNP, mourns the loss of the Emperor. President Augusto Pinochet plans to fly personally to mourn the loss of a good friend and ruler of his people. We will fly all flags at half-staff and all businesses will be closed to mourn the passing of the Imperial Father; Cardinal Victor B. Galeone also plans to attend the funeral and host a special vigil for the people of our country. We hope the Imperial Chancellor will raise the child in accordance with the Church and to be a benevolent ruler of his chosen people. Vaya con Dios mi amigo.

Neo-Macedonia as it picks itself up from the ashes of civil war will be in mourning as this news has shock us all. Emperor Jean was a wise and fair man who only wanted the best for his people. I am truly saddened that I could not have been there to help him in his time of need after the passing of my sister however, I vow not to make the same mistake with my nephew Jean II.

That is why I hereby ask Imperial Chancellor Antoine Dupers to release all custody of the child over to me, Queen Chloe of Neo-Macedonia. I am the child's living relative and I feel it is my rightful place to rise the child as our family has raised children for many years. He will be brought up in the traditional Catholic manner and we will mold him in his youth to become a fine and righteous leader of Syawla. He will of course return to Syawla once he comes of age to take his rightful place as Emperor.

Understand that at the moment this is but a simply request by the child's rightful aunt however, if need be I can call upon international law to gain custody of the infant child.

Our government is unwilling to respond to the Neo-Macedonian initiative. We believe it unsafe and dangerous for the child to travel to Neo-Macedonia and for the child to live in a country that has so recently been hit by civil war and strife.

Camizu mourns the death of Emperor Jean, a good friend to Dr Camizu and the people of Camizu. Seeing that Neo-Macedonia's offer has been rejected do to that nation's instability, Dr Camizu would like to extend a similar offer to the child, if such is necessary.

Chancellor Dupers thanks Camizu for its kind offer but once again feels he must refuse. Jean II is a Syawlan heir, and will therefore be raised as a Syawlan.

The child is offered a home in Catholic Europe as he is my own godson and thus it is my duty to ensure that he is brought up within the Church. The Imperial Chancellor can be left to run the country until the child attains his majority.

Pope John XXV

Prompted by the death of the Emperor, an assassination attempt has been made upon the life of the Imperial Chancellor. The men were foiled by members of the Security Servces. Initial interrogation identifies the men to be supporters of the Christian Coalition. The Imperial Chancellor has suceeded in suspending this political party and its leader Patrice Delacroix has been arrested while the group's activities are investigated. The Imperial Chancellor states that it is his sincere belief that these men were supported by members of the Catholic Church, and also planned kidnapping the new Emperor and removing him to Catholic Europe.

The Imperial Chancellor has called upon the Catholic Church to denounce these individuals. At the same time, Dupers has promised imminent legislation preventing Catholics from entering Imperial service without an oath to the Imperial Crown and State above the Pope, in order to protect the Emperor and state from outside interference.

A majority of Syawlans are in support of the Chancellor's initiatives. They found their greatest support amongst the majority of Syawlans who, like Dupers, remain Protestant.

The South African government looks favorably on these developments in Syawla, which reaffirm African solidarity and sovereignty. Emperor Jacob has sent delegates to the new Dupres Administration, in order to strengthen relations between the two countries.

The actions by the Syawlan government, and subesquently by South Africa, are a grave concern. It shows that heresy still roams freely in this schismatic area of the world. I urge all true Catholics of these two nations to reaffirm their devotion to the Holy Mother Church and to resist the changes that the two governments have made.

I am also particularly worried about the safety of Emperor Jean II and fear that his moral and religious integrity could be threatened. I urge that the child be returned to his aunt, Queen Chloe, in Neo-Macedonia so that the child may have his family around him.

I thank the gracious Pope for his kind words and like he, I too many extremely worried over the events which seems to be unfolding in Syawla and our common neighbor South Africa.

Also, to the Imperial Chancellor, it would appear that even in these peaceful days of the world, Syawla is no safer than Neo-Macedonia. That is why I once again ask that the child, of whom only I am his sole blood relative, be brought to me in Neo-Macedonia at once. The child was born from a devout Catholic women of whom God bless with such a beautiful child, and I will not stand by and allow the Syawlan people of whom dislike and hate the church, to pull him into the heretically ways and hand him to the Satan in which they follow. If my request is once again denied, I will call upon the international courts to intervene and through legal actions, give me custody over the child.

The deathbed wishes of the Emperor were explicit: Emperor Jean II is to have as his soul guardian and godparent, I, Imperial Chancellor Antoine Dupers. Our government will not even consider replying to the requests for him to be transferred to Neo-Macedonian protection until the Pope denounces all those involved in the assassination attempt recently attempted upon myself.

Syawlan Security Forces are poised to arrest senior Catholic Clergymen suspected of aiding and abetting Catholic terrorists. The safety of the Empire thus demands that the Catholic Church within Syawla be suspended.

As godparent to the child, and with the safety of the Emperor as my prime motivation, I herein cancel the Catholic baptism of the Emperor, due to the obvious duplicity inherrent in the Catholic Church. Instead, the child will duly be baptised in the Protestant religion, which he will share with a majority of his subjects, and which will ensure the spiritual future of the Syawlan Empire.

The Imperial Chancellor is hereby excommunicated and the nation of Syawla hereby placed under an interdict. All those who believe in the true faith will rise up against the Imperial Chancellor. I urge Catholic nations in South Africa to help them in their cause.

It is disheartening that the faithful of Syawla are so often put under interdict because of their rulers. Nevertheless, we urge the people to follow the wishes of His Holiness, Pope John XXV in denouncing the man who has brought them yet again to suffering.

Neo-Macedonia is truly sadden that the heretics of Syawla have gain control over the nation and are now leading it down the path which Satan himself could have only paved. Neo-Macedonian borders are hereby closed to all Syawlan people aside from those professing true loyalty to the holy mother church. I know that if my brother in-law or sister were still alive, these events would never have transpired, but sadly God has chosen to take them.

As for my nephew being baptized in the Protestant religion, this is truly the most slanderous words the Chancellor has chosen to speak yet. I cannot and will never believe that my sister nor her husband would have ever wanted the child to be taken from the religion in which it's parents praised. I hereby ask the Catholic community to rise up and save their son, the son of Syawla, the child of their beloved rulers from the evils which the Chancellor wishes to put against him. I assure you that if saved and brought to Neo-Macedonia, you will be safe.

We pray for a peaceful resolution to these unfortunate events that are unfolding here in the African continent; we all have been struck by some unfortunate tragedy and it should be in the best interests to let the Syawlan peoples heal at their own pace. We humbly beg the Imperial Chancellor to undo the ban on Catholicism...we are also willing to condemn the terrorist attacks and we humbly ask for our fellow Catholic nations to do the same.

The Chancellor, using the opportunity presented by the Empress's death, has succeeded in getting passage through the Senate of a new bill granting unto him greater powers. The bill nicknamed 'Bismarck II Statutes' means that while the Senate retains its 'power of the purse', almost all domestic legislation now requires merely the approval of the Imperial Council, which is multi-party but dominated by the party of the Imperial Chancellor. The Emperor's own veto remains, although with the Emperor in mourning, this is currently effectively neutered. It is believed that the bill was passed due to promises of further tax cuts to his more conservative colleagues within the governing party.

The opposition party Syawlan Social Democrats have condemned the legislation as "purely authoritarian" and demanded the Imperial impeachment of Chancellor Dupers.

The Imperial Chancellor, in a deal with the Syawlan Social Democrats has cancelled the Bismarck II legislation. By cancelling this controversial legislation granting unto him greater powers at the expense of the Senate, it is expected that the Syawlan Social Democrats will ally themselves behind the Imperial Chancellor in his war of words with the Roman Catholic Church.

Two Cardinals have been arrested on suspicion of harbouring Catholic extremists.

The protestant baptism of the new, young Emperor has been set for the 14th December.

On the streets of Syawla, small uprisings in the suburbs have taken place yet the majority speak out in favour of the Chancellor's initiatives. An observer described how it was his opinion that the single biggest mistake made by the late Emperor was allowing the Roman Church influence in the affairs of a predominantly Protestant country, a wrong which was now being made right.

Two demands are made to the Chancellor. That the Cardinals be granted asylum in Neo-Macedonia and that Jean II be raised as a Catholic. All other demands are hereby dropped. Should the latter demand not be fulfilled then more serious action will be taken.

The two Cardinals are under investigation for serious crimes of terrorism. They will not be released unless the charges are dropped; a matter for the Syawlan Police Authorities, not the Imperial Chancellery.

However, given the importance related to the infant, and my desire to avoid conflict; I agree herein to share my role as godparent of Emperor Jean II with Queen Chloe of Neo-Macedodnia. To facilitate this, he shall be christened in the faith of his parents.

The condition to this; is that Syawlan Catholics who take roles within the public sector or in government, swear an oath to serve the Imperial Crown and through that the state.

The government of Denizistan is inherently anti-Catholic. Infact, it would not surprise me if they have had a hand in this anti-Catholic action that has taken place in Syawla.

These words are merely a ploy by the Deniz government to try and hide their true intentions. Everytime an accusation is levied against them they spew the same old drivel everytime. The fact of the matter is that Deniz is very anti-Catholic and is working to destroy the Church and the faith throughout Africa and, indeed, the rest of the World.

OOC: By history, she means that if the child isn't allow to be a practicing catholic or know about his parents and their history. Basically should he not grow up to be much like his parents, the Queen will grow greatly angry.
