Uh, there's a country of people who would probably mostly choose to leave, but their government can't be negotiated with because it's, uh, really really bad at its job, and it would be great to give them the option of leaving. What share of people can get good enough to make them, and how long does it take?

Why do they want to do this with rings and not teleporters?

Going and taking people feels a lot more provocative than just giving them the ability to, if they see fit, leave. Also people will shoot the teleporters, or knock them unconscious and try to figure out their secret, or try taking them hostage, or try taking other people hostage to get favors from them -

"It's possible that all of the people who'd be ordered to do those things would, ah, also rather leave?"

"Oh, I'm sure they would, but if they're not coordinated or if there are just a couple positioning for a spot among those who stay -"

Well, the rings will be pretty steep, they're not very introductory material. Unless they want them in a few years.

They will keep it in mind if Calado is still disaster-ing along in a few years. Does anyone from a functioning state have advice on whether it's possible to productively operate in Calado.

Oh, sure, you just have to learn your way around, it's kind of a political maze.

The problem is that they cannot learn their way around if they will be kidnapped even flying near the country and there will be zero cooperation with investigating such kidnappings. You kind of need a minimum level of assurance that it's illegal to kidnap you before you can start learning your way around a country.

Well, yes, aliens are a special case.

So there's just no real way to productively interact with Calado.

Not for aliens and directly, probably.

Fine. 

Vanda Nossëo arrests the people who kidnapped their citizens. They do this with invisible teleporters; it is probably very confusing to the targets.

Well, they were warned. What are they going to do about the baby Datna is holding?

They will wait until she is not holding a baby.

She is spending a lot of time with the baby but eventually lets her grandson have it.

Shortly after that she vanishes.

She finds herself inside a very pretty unreasonably spacious prison cell somewhere with just a smidge less gravity than Amenta.

"Hello?"

No one answers. There's a door.

...she goes to the door and tries it.

Unlocked! There's a big atrium with some people playing table tennis and some watching television. 

"Excuse me."

"Hello!" says a brown-haired woman who is playing a board game of some kind. "This is Dasaer Correctional Facility. I'm Janet, I'm on staff here, how can I help you?"

"...where is the Dasaer Correctional Facility and what are its plans for me?"

"We're a moon off Odour, star system 3255J, Quadrant 116, your galaxy, and you have a preliminary hearing -" she pokes a computer - "tomorrow morning, 9:00 local time, on three counts of kidnapping."

"...and what happens in preliminary hearings?"

"The judge explains the charges to you and appoints you counsel. Then they talk you through things so you can confirm that you've been apprised of your rights, that you find the prison conditions acceptable, and that you're of sound mind and capable of understanding the proceedings."
