OOC: I understand this was sent to Threlizdun, but if possible I'd like to respond. What was the encryption level? Thanks.

I wouldn't even bother asking. If they posted a legible threat, then it would be answered. I don't really think its even worth bothering trolls like this one, it just encourages them.

OOC: Doesn't seem to be a troll

[Bontivate]

TO: Hammurabi Al' Rashid
FROM: Supreme Dictator Galnorak
SUBJECT: I WILL DESTROY YOU

You know what? I did pour my heart and soul into that application! I took a good look at my nation and myself and let the words flow, untainted by bias for or against Bontivate. It may have been short, but it was heartfelt. It was ME. And you... you... not only insulted me, but implied I'm far too serious about these sort of things and also that I'm a paranoid nutcase, which I'm not! They really are trying to get me, you know!

Anyways, also it outrages me when people call me a Dictator because I'm not. I'm not a Dictator. I'm a fairly, justly and especially fairly elected Supreme Dictator for Life of Bontivate. Not a Dictator. Does that say Dictator? No, it says fairly, justly and especially fairly elected Supreme Dictator of Life of Bontivate. Not Dictator. The word Dictator may be lodged in there somewhere, but that isn't my whole position or my official position.

Now that you have been thoroughly verbally thrashed, I hope that you have learnt your lesson!

Economic System: Social market economy
Are you a democratic society?: Yes.
Do you agree to uphold this charter?: Most certainly.
Are there any modifications you would like to be made to this charter?: Actually, yes. We would like to add the following points:
Your nation must make the Government transparent to the point where your citizens can easily interact with it (making information public, e.g. budgets/spending).
Your nation must not start or enter an unjustified or unjustifiable war nor attack civillians of your own or foreign nations.
Your nation must make use of every peaceful attempt to end a conflict before going to war, including humanitarian aid and peace negotiations.

[Haydn]

I think that democracy dosen't work. Britain is democratic, so all the government do is scream at each other in a parliment building. That dosen't get the nation anywhere. Anyway that's just my opinion. My nation has absolutism, not democracy.

That is fine for you to hold those views, though members of this alliance believe freedom is one of the most important aspects of society.

"Joy and salutations to you, Comrade Aryl! It is an honor to have you in our midst!" Maven said with a warm and welcoming smile. "Welcome to the Alliance of Democratic Socialists! I'm High Chancellor Maven Auryn of the Beastling States of Crystal Spires. I was paying a visit as I'm used to coming between here and the Union of Equality and Freedom, so I come here less frequently than I would desire, but can I possibly get you some tea and sweet cakes? I am never one to be inhospitable to applicants and guests!" Maven Auryn made some hot tea for "Aryl" and kindly offered her some warm cake with butter-cream frosting.

"I don't think I've ever heard of the nation of Ainatsoppih before. What is it like? I do like to become informed of nations around the world... Tell me a little about your nation, and maybe a little about yourself too!" Maven said with a cheerful tone of voice.

To Whom It May Concern,

the Department of Foreign and International Relations strongly condemns Hippostania for this - apparently sarcastic - entry. It's easy to see that Ainatsoppih is this country ruled by dictator Lyra. It saddens us to see that socialism is seen as communism while Crata uses a social market economy as an economic system.

We, the Crataan Government, refuse to accept your request. Since we are not able to decide upon this matter, let us explain to those who do:

• The "Lyra Laws", according to which the Parliamentary Chancellor"can now recommend a death sentence to the Supreme Court but no vice versa". The National Security Act is strongly violating the requirement of "Your nation must not make groundless accusations against your citizens", reading "A person can now be detained for up to three years without trial if he is suspected to be a direct threat". Furthermore, their labor libareralization act reads: "All labour unions must register as joint-stock companies".
• Hippostania does not respect the rights of privacy, free speech and independence - the Hippostanian Parliament allows censorship of internet. See that here.
• Hippostania does not respect freedom of expression and thought, even if those thoughts do not harm the people.
• Hippostania killed innocent protesters and will do so again. Example: The Hackney Massacre.

Therefore, the Federal Republic of Crata highly encourages denying Hippostania access.

Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Gray

''Nice to meet.. you too. And yes thank you, I'm rather hungry!'' Aryl said and took a cup of tea from the table. ''Ainatsoppih is a nice country in.. Pon.. Pond Lands! Oh yes, pond lands! We have lots of ponds, big and small in our country. Some of them are so big that we call them ''lakes''! We are a peace-loving, communist nation that wishes to promote equality and solidarity!''

[Crystal Spires]

Come now, we can't use OOC knowledge in IC, that's poor show!

"That sounds like a lovely place! I am reminded of the shores of the coast and the lakes in Metanih. It's a lovely place, I say. Treefolk lands are beautiful. I imagine the ponds and lakes must be rather picturesque. I really must see it some time." Maven said as he happily regarded Aryl with a smile and sat down with his wings tucked behind him. "So you are a fellow comrade? A lover of equality and solidarity! This is wonderful, who is your favorite Communist philosopher? I would say I'm more inspired by Troskyism and Kropotkin with Council Communism. After the revolution we embraced the Worker's Council ideal, when did you let go of the shackles of Capitalism, imperialism and slavery?" Maven asked as he ate a lemon drop.

''Oh yes.. Unfortunately we had a little accident a while back, our capital city's zoological garden's gates broke and hundreds of lions escaped. It's not safe to visit Ainatsoppih at the moment'' Aryl said and took another sip of her tea. ''And when my favorite communist philosopher..? Uhmm.. Well, of course that's.. Carl! Yes, Carl! I've always appreciated his works! I've read all of them multiple times! And we had a communist revolution in.. nineteen.. twenty. Oh yes, 1920. It was a nice little revolution.''

[Crystal Spires]

"That's dreadful, I will gladly go and help, as it is a knight's duty to help those in need! I will come and help get such a situation under control if you so desire. If you ask me, I shall go, and therefore swear a knight's oath to rescue your people from the animals of the Zoo, and I will do so without harming your beloved animals. As for Karl, who wouldn't be a fan of Karl Marx? The father and founder of all socialism! This is a comforting thing to hear, comrade! I'm glad to see that another socialist has let go of the shackles of slavery and death inherent in capitalism. You have made the right choice!" Maven said with a cheerful look.

He looked at Chancellor Aryl and couldn't help be feel a familiar feeling that he had met him before. This made Maven feel uneasy but perhaps it was the tea. Maven looked through his bag and made some tea for himself as well.

Just my imagination...

''Oh no no no!'' Aryl said, slightly terrified. ''Just like we overthrew the capitalists, the lions have overthrown their oppressors. They have demonstrated that they support the communist ideology and for that, I've decided to give the lions freedom. Yes. Everything is alright. And yes.. Carl Marcks..

Maven frowned for a moment and looked at Aryl skeptically.

"You know... you're absolutely..."

He said with hesitation as he craned over Aryl with a frown.

"...strange. I suppose if the lions hurt no one, 'tis nothing to be concerned of, but if you need anything, help or otherwise, don't hesitate to ask. I'm more than willing to help if you need it." Maven said as he smiled, "Your commitment to freedom is admirable though. I like it!" Maven said as he cracked his hands. "Well let's see..."

Maven looked over the application and squinted. "Seems to be alright... I see nothing wrong with it..."

''Our lions have never hurt anyone..'' Aryl said and took another, long sip of her tea ''..but we must take precautions. And this really shows how much our country loves solidarity and freedom. We even let the lions roam free, as that is the basis of communism; freedom.''

Everyone else, we were assuming that your governments could act with at least a bit more maturity when approaching this matter. Now, ponyist societies are most certainly tolerated, but please do not take us for fools. Hippostania nd Urmanistan, nothing is preventing you from becoming observers as long as you fill out an actual application for your real nation.
