The city of New Providence, Rhodes was up and about to it's usual business. Men and women left their homes and went to their usual work place to begin a fresh new day. Those left behind at home, took usual routes and made their way to the market. It was a beautiful and sunny day so that meant that market would be unusually busy and it was. All the latest goods from all over the world had just arrived and with the tension in the Mediterranean, many feared these fine European foods would soon be out of supply and so everyone was rushed to buy what they could. The streets were literally flooded with people and you could barely see in front of you much less beside or behind you. Though the people of Esternarx had learn to catch things out of the ordinary for fear of another terrorist attack, few noticed the cloaked individual who seemed the glide through the crowd due to the fact that the crowd was so large. Though a cloaked individual wasn't completely out of the ordinary, the fact that he bypassed every food stand he went by should have set off a mental alarm since this was by far the busiest day of the year for the market, everyone was buy and for someone not to stop and by a single thing would simply be outrageous. But they didn't, they just simply continued to buy. So, unstopped the cloak individual flew through the crowd until he came to the step of a near by building. The steps elevated the man so that he was about a foot or two above the crowd. The cloak individual, a man actually if anyone had cared to look a little closer for they'd have seen his goatee which was the only thing visible under his hood, peered out into the crowd watching them all as they went from stand to stand and bought items from all over the world. Finally after only a few moments of watching the crowd, the cloaked man spoke. People of Esternarx has it been long enough for you to forget your fallen brothers? To forget the terrorists which raped you of your rightful land and family?? Like someone hitting the pause button on a VRC, the crowd went silent and motionless. The simply word of "terrorist" brought about fear to the people of Esternarx. No one could forget what had happen and to be accused of such was an outrage. The crowd turned to the man and wait to see what he had to say. Please my brothers and sister tell me it isn't true? Tell me you haven't forgotten our fallen? The crowd remained silent for several minutes until a few people got the courage to speak. " No we haven't" said one person while another replied "how dare you accuse us of such a thing" the rest of the crowd agree with simple nods. Well, then my brothers if you haven't forgotten the fallen why is it that you do not attack those who committed the crime? The crowd began to talk amongst themselves on the subject. their conversations were like a low "hmmm" which echoed throughout the street until another citizen spoke up again saying "But the NNR have been captured, there is no one to fight against" Come now brothers you cannot be so easily deceived, the NNR is but a simply mask. It is a mask wore by a different and bigger evil and its one you must stand against. I am not hear to accuse you my brothers and sister but to open your eyes to the truth about our fallen country. The NNR as I said is mask wore by the real terrorist and do you know who they are? Well, I am here to tell you, the real terrorists are the Catholics!!! You could hear the crowd burst into frenzy as the man revealed this information. Some wondered if it were true, others criticized the man's credibility, and others took his word for fact. The man continued... That's right my people, it was the Catholics who destroyed the beautiful country we once called home. They did it because they fear those who aren't Catholic and feel it is their duty to oppress and destroy them. Why, take NeoRome as an example. Surely we cannot for get our heritage, the Catholics didn't, why else would they can chosen our country in Europe. There were plenty of countries to chose from but they chose ours because of our heritage. However, they didn't simply stop with us, oh no for even now the Catholics suppress NeoRome even though the allies of Europe are working out the finer details to end the occupation of Saxe-Coburg. That's right my brothers, Saxe-Coburg is on the road to be fear and yet in NeoRome the Catholics are doing the complete opposite of what the allies are doing. Instead of working with the government to reunify NeoRome, they are imposing laws to Catholcize them. Do you know what is to happen to those who they can't convert? Those in NeoRome who won't convert, my people, will be eliminated. Yes, that's right, they will slaughter them, as they did our people just simply because they aren't Catholic. So I ask again my people, why are we not fighting the enemy which destroyed our home? Why are we not asking our government to rise up against Catholicism? I will leave you with that my people for I am needed else where, to spread the word to more of our people so that they may know the truth. As I leave you to think about what we should really be doing and I can only hope that you will believe it's something other than shopping. With that the cloaked man walked down the stairs from which he stood and made his way through the crowd only the disappear. With that, the crowd was now left with only themselves and their thought, all of which were solely on what the cloaked individual had said. |

As news of the unknown man's speech spread across Esternarx, Catholic Cardinal Lucas Johnson made a public televised appearance from the Roman Catholic Church in Christchurch, Sutherain. "Whoever this man was, it is quite obvious he was a liar. Catholics did not, I repeat, did not, in any way, shape, or form, take part in the neo-nazi bombing or in any way assist terrorists. The catholic nations of europe are doing what they think is best for the people of NeoRome and of Saxe-Coburg and I support them 100%. How can one accuse catholics of being terrorists when they make up a third of our great nation?" -Cardinal Lucas Johnson Despite this statement from the cardinal, a large group of citizens in New Providence began protests to the government to send foreign aid to NeoRome. These protestors marched through the streets chanting "Free NeoRome!!" and various other slogans. The protestors demand that the government provide financial aid to TheNeoRomanEmpire in order to help them rebuild their nation and to prevent catholics from completely overrunning the country. There has been no official word from the government regarding these actions. |

OOC: It is official IC Catholic Church teaching that racism (and therefore nazism) is one of the greatest evils and sins in the world. Indeed, the current Pope is mixed-race. Just so you all know, and don't go writing wrong stuff ;) |

OOC: The purpose of this "movement" was more to generate pro-NeoRome feelings than to generate anti-Catholic feelings. Although that is a useful side effect. Also, the people of Esternarx are more willing to accept the idea that Catholics may have been responsible ever since the Pope refused to visit them. The Catholic population has been dropping steadily ever since that was announced and even non-Catholic Esternarxians are beginning to harbor strongly anti-Catholic feelings. Couple that with Esternarx's recent inclusion into the Baghdad Pact and pretty soon, nobody is gonna be Catholic anymore. |

IC: The protests have started to have an effect. The government, fearing rebellion, has decided to yield to the protestors' demands and send financial relief to TheNeoRomanEmpire. A care package of 50 million trade credits will be sent to Paradise City, NeoRome, via Esternarx Shipping Incorporated. This is expected to quell the surge of anti-Catholic protests. |

OOC: The NNR is not linked with the Pope in anyway. Hell, when we do the trial, he's going to call the Catholic Church "The Great Whore" as part of his defense arguements. |

OOC: Yes, we no they don't really have anything to do with the Catholics, but we needed someone to blame and given the circumstances in Esternarx, the Catholics were the right choice. This wasn't a move to Catholic bash, but more of a ploy to get money. Hopefully this may spark a revival of NeoRoman culture in Esternarx, should the nation look for us in the future that would be helpful. IC: The cloaked man watched the news report with pleasure. He was pleased to see that the propaganda had succeeded. He then went to his computer and began to make a video call. The screen lit up with the Silhouette of a male like figure. The voice of the figure was distorted to conceal his identity. Report, the man said Everything went according to plan, the Esternarx government has agreed to send foreign aid to NeoRome. Good, you have served the Obsidian well. For now we will not need your services however if needed you will be reactivated. I understand Grand Director, I live only to serve the Obsidian. We have already wired tickets for you to return home, as far as your family, friends, and coworkers are concerned you simply went on a vacation. Understood Good, Grand Director out The screen went blank and the cloaked man gathered his things and prepared to leave Esternarx for home. |

Norightsia will allow no foreign aid into the Asian sector of NeoRome. The hypocritical Esternarxians are meddling in affairs that do not concern them. We demand that they stop this charade at once. |

Ignoring the statements of Norightsia, a fleet of cargo ships filled with medical supplies, construction materials, food stuffs, and volunteer workers departed Rhodes City, this afternoon. The fleet is on its way to the suez canal and from there it will go through the strait of gibraltar and make its way north through the english channel and the north sea, finally making its way to Paradise City where they will deliver the supplies and help in the reconstruction efforts. |

Norightsia will execute any person who attempts to illegally cross the borders of Asian NeoRome to deliver aid to the NeoRoman terrorists that may be trying to set up shop there. Esternarxian passports are no longer valid in Norightsia. |

We graciously thank this unexpected aid from the Esternarx nation. Your nation will be among the honored in our fair land and we can only hope that one day we will be able to repay our brothers in the same generosity. -The Imperial Senate of NeoRome |
