"As awful as Frustrated Franciscans is as a nation, the World Assembly simply can't go around denouncing every dictatorship. It's impractical and lessens the meaning of a condemnation. We reserve condemnations for those nations that have caused widespread and long-lasting damage throughout the Multiverse. The run-of-the-mill despot doesn't need one."
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

Maybe. I just feel like if this were the real world, and the UN could condemn nations, they wouldn't condemn nations who fought wars with others.

This is really because he's trying to repeal one of the pro-abortion resolutions, isn't it?

I'd imagine so.

...and you actually believe him. Wow.

Seriously, he's got four puppets listed on his main nation. They all have different policies, he can't possibly believe in them all. FF is the only one with such poor civil rights and political freedoms, because he's role-playing it that way, for kicks. And his telegram to you? He's messing with you. Again, for kicks.

Condemnations and commendations, while written about nations per se, are more about the player behind the nations (thus the occasional inclusion of prominent puppet nations in some C&Cs; it's also a reason that the SC is more out-of-character than the GA). And, I'm just not seeing the player behind FF as doing anything remotely condemn-worthy, just because he's having some fun with an ultra-religious agenda on one of his nations, whether he believes in it or not.

Fully opposed.

Some? Try all of them.

Nah, they'd just condemn Israel. Like they already do. All the time.

OoC: Well, "this one" has a prominence in global politics. This one isn't some newbie nation or "character" (OMGTKK, DEN nations, my puppets) this one actually believes what it's doing is right. Unless serial killers regularly come on this site and make nations, I highly doubt any of the uber corrupt nations would seriously implement their policies in real life.


Why yes *cough* very glad that *cough* no badish nations have implemented would seriously implement their policies in real life. Also very glad that the world census report hasn't compiled a report on cannibalism. :kiss: (closest there was to a cannibal emoticon taste test)

Okay, I'll never be able to look at that smiley again without thinking, why is that dude smiling while the other dude's biting his face off?
