[DEFEATED]Repeal:Liberate Confederation of Corrupt Dictators

Secondly, if an embassy with them is part of the reason we've been liberated, why haven't they been liberated themselves?

Regional relevance

But if they're irrelevant why does it matter if we have an embassy with them?

Aside from you being under the mistaken impression that's your only problematic embassy, there's a wide gap between being relevant enough to justify offensive Liberation, and complete irrelevance.

Which other embassies would you, personally, classify as problematic?

I don't understand your point. They're not relevant enough to be liberated, but we are relevant and hence qualify for a liberation because we have an embassy with them? As far as I know, no other region has ever been liberated just for holding embassies.

Embassies were not the only thing you were Liberated for, nor are they the only thing keeping it in place.

Are you quibbling yet again about whether some regions that you have embassies with are nazi regions?

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

You think we're fascists outside of NationStates because we don't denounce fascist regions within NationStates?

That's a straw man, not what I was saying at all. I don't know what your politics are outside of NS and I'm not going to get into that. It is utterly irrelevant. I was talking about the things your region's representatives have done in NS. Instead of decrying and blackballing fascists as any respectable organization would do, CCD has defended them and gotten closer to them. Couple that with the annoying tag:all TGs and blatant, relentless self-promotion and you've broken just about every unwritten rule in the book. That's why your region is in the mess it's in and that's why it is utterly incapable of succeeding with these blatant attempts to self-promote.

Yes, I get the impression people don't like our region very much. Just in general, you know.

I still don't understand your point. We have no problems with fascist regions in game - why would we have a problem with them? Why should we be expected to denounce regions roleplaying fascists?

I strongly disagree, we're the 5th largest (non-puppet/card farming) user created region in the game, with a population of over 600 nations. Clearly something is working.

I wonder what region the author is in?

Conf. of corrupt dictators

Makes sense.

At this point 'but guys! They're just pretending to be fascists!' Is about all they got.

Because A) nearly everybody else does and B) you seem very certain that there aren't any fascists in NS. You might try paying a visit to Nazi Europa to ask them if they're just RPing at some point, I'm sure that it will prove enlightening.

Region size doesn't mean much of anything with regards to diplomacy. Convincing a noob to join your region is a very different thing from convincing an experienced player to help you out, and your constant stream of mass TGs (which I have long since blocked on this account, but I'm familiar with through puppets and other players) tells me that you really need to learn the difference.

[Kurnugia]

Nazi Europa for one.

Recently? They are a dead basically.

But since you can't be bothered with reading their WFE...

Nazi Europa is dedicated to political education on matters such as National Socialism and the varying degrees of Fascism

They also were involved in invasions in the past. But luckly due to internal meltdown, they aren't anymore.

I'm sure there are real fascists in NationStates, and it's likely that some of our embassy regions do contain some real fascist nations. In fact, given our population size, it's likely that we also have some real-life fascist nations, as does Europe, or the Communist Bloc, or any of the Pacifics.

I've said this many times before, but NationStates is a game. We have embassies with regions for their relations in-game, not outside of it. Frankly, if a region isn't acting on it outside NationStates, why does it matter? We aren't the thought police.

Again, as far as I know, none of the regions we have embassies with engage in fascist activities offsite.

The Confederation's average population, which is the best measure of a nation's age, is over 2 billion. This works out to be about a year old.

This is pretty close to other large, user-created regions (again, like Europe or The Communist Bloc), and is well above the average age of feeder regions.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

and is well above the average age of feeder regions.

Well duh, it’s bound to be isn’t it.

[Wallenburg]

Being Nazis?

[Prydania]

you may not be a RL facist, but without a doubt CCD facilitates facism.

But is that alone grounds for a liberation?

Yes.

[Caracasus]

Yes.

We asked the audience and they said 'yes' and 'yes but also because of the TG spam'

Again, convincing noobs to join your region isn't even remotely the same thing as creating interregional diplomatic relationships.
If you deliberately piss off everybody else, then you forfeit the right to call foul when we stop ignoring you and start doing something about it.

[New Bremerton]

Reading through this thread, the CCD comes off even worse than before. Fascist or not, they're pretty annoying and they should be raided for that alone. Voted AGAINST.
