Declaration of Unibot as persona non grata
Effective immediately, the Government of The North Pacific declares
Unibot, currently Delegate of The Rejected Realms, persona non grata in The North Pacific. We consider Unibot unwelcome in our regional forum, where his access has been restricted, we will be refusing to accredit him as diplomatic representative from any region or organization to our government, and we will be employing all means available to the government to block any future membership applications from him.
This decision is in response to the numerous statements Unibot has produced against The North Pacific during the last three months. In these statements, Unibot has attacked our political orientation, our diplomatic and military policy, our regional culture, our government at large and our elected officials individually. Rather than mere critiques, his statements have been openly hostile and obviously insulting to our region. Unibot has not hesitated to act deceptively or invent conspiracy theories in his desperate attempts to discredit us, and he has chosen to openly commend traitors to our region for their treacherous actions. The last straw in this series of relentless attacks came when Unibot, in a statement published on June 11, described the recent operation by the North Pacific Army in Nazi Europe as insulting to the memory of those who fought in World War II. After this deeply offensive and completely unwarranted remark, the Executive Council moved to issue this declaration.
This is not the first time that Unibot’s militant methods and fundamentalist beliefs have resulted in his expulsions from a game-created region; indeed, there have been multiple such occasions in the past. Despite this pattern of behavior, The Rejected Realms have chosen to elect Unibot as their leader, and we would be amiss not to address this fact. Regions are responsible for their elected leaders, and cannot disavow themselves of responsibility for their leaders’ actions. Citizens of The Rejected Realms must realize that by empowering a well-known extremist to represent them in the interregional scene, they are very quickly eroding their diplomatic standing.
The Government of The North Pacific has so far acted in good faith towards The Rejected Realms, consistent with our long-standing commitment to friendly relations with fellow game-created regions; and we have previously offered to discuss directly with The Rejected Realms any concerns they may have. This offer has been ignored by Unibot. What is more worrying though is that we have not seen any reciprocation of good faith from the citizens of The Rejected Realms either: Unibot’s statements against The North Pacific appear to be continuing unchecked and without any internal opposition. As a result, our commitment to continued relations with the Rejected Realms is becoming untenable. We hope that this statement will serve as a wake up call to the citizens of The Rejected Realms.
Sincerely,
