What's YN criticised for by the international community?

[Scotatrova]

Something that Scotatrova is often criticized for especially by its allies and former colonies in Hescettgovian America, is the unwillingness of the Scotatrovian government to recognize the Scotatrovian colonization of the Americas as a genocide against the native peoples. All governments of Hescettgovian America, including their northern, Anglo neighbor Amaurita consider the events as a genocide. Many individual states within Scotatrova itself also recognize the events as a genocide, but the national government has stated that state governments don't have a say in Scotatrovian foreign policy.

[Greater Cosmicium]

Greater Cosmicium is criticized by the so-called "international community" mainly for the numerous atrocities it commits and its endless warmongering. These accusations are all lies, of course, there are no atrocities in Greater Cosmicium and all of our wars are defensive, move along citizen.

[Ivory Coasts]

The Ivorian democracy movement, social activists, and some members of the Liberal Party of the Ivory Coasts have all identified the need for social and political reform. While economic and social controls have been significantly relaxed in the Ivory Coasts since the 1990s, political freedom is still tightly restricted. The Constitution of the Empire of the Ivory Coasts states that the "fundamental rights" of citizens include freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to a fair trial, freedom of religion, universal suffrage, and property rights. However, in practice, these provisions do not afford significant protection against criminal prosecution by the state. Although some criticisms of government policies and the ruling Liberal Party are tolerated, censorship of political speech and information, most notably on the Internet, are routinely used to prevent collective action. In 2005, Reporters Without Borders ranked the Ivory Coasts 159th out of 167 states in its Annual World Press Freedom Index, indicating a very low level of press freedom. In 2014, the Ivory Coasts ranked 175th out of 180 countries.

[The Nekos Caribbean]

Probably for seizing Guantanamo Bay and for having some biochemical weapon in a worn down facility that could accidentally release the weapon.

[The Kiiyash Criminal Guild]

The Kiiyash Criminal Guild is literally a guild of criminals, and we don't shy away from that fact. What they don't criticise us for is not worth criticising.

[Lanoraie II]

There's yet to exist any other countries on our planet, but if we were to ask old Earth, it most likely would be our refusal to censor our citizens and our great pride in government accountability. The power is truly in the people, not the other way around. A classic Lanomiran phrase is "If the government isn't afraid of us, we aren't doing it right".

I'm very thankful I am only the head of elder literature and not an actual politician.

[Canoseo]

Well, to tell you the truth, it's because even though Canoseo is a democracy, we still have a monarch who has executive decision, and can write new laws for the Parliament to either accept or deny. However, we're lucky King Apollos IX is a good king.

And by definition, that would make us a constitutional monarchy.

On the other side of the spectrum, there are human and elf supremacists who do not agree with our equality, where elves, orcs, goblins, and other sentient species can enjoy the same freedoms as humans and lionfolk.

I suppose we can't make everyone happy, but if most of our citizens are happy, then we're happy.

[Lancov]

We're often criticized by right-leaning governments for strict regulations and nationalization of some industries. Religious organizations don't like many of our permissive policies on same-sex relationships and trans recognition. Far-leftists criticize our banking secrecy laws as enabling tax evasion. Slaver nations consider our Navy's policy of boarding their ships to liberate "cargo" to be piracy. Really depends who you ask, Lancov has something to criticize for just about anybody.

[Raider Clans]

Probably the whole "mercilessly burning towns to the ground while looting and killing everything we can our dirty hands on" thing. Or maybe the slave trade? Or all the drugs exported from Raider lands? I really can't decide.

[Tomasio Island]

Tomasio Island is criticized for the following reasons:

1. The nation's leader is only 22 years old.

2. The nation's leader is autistic, suffering from Asperger's.

3. Our relative isolationism.

4. Our compulsory military service, even though there are no military threats and our population is relatively small.

5. The fact that we are a Philosocracy, meaning that the elected leader is simply titled "Philosopher", and that in order to be the Philosopher leader, you ought not only to be voted by the majority, but give a lecture about your personal philosophy, and by that you are judged by the citizenry in regards to how much your philosophy is logically cohesive and sensible. In other words, you are voted twice, once for the elections and twice for your merit as a philosopher. If your lecture has scored poorly by the majority, there will be another election. This system is made to make sure the potential leader will not abuse Tomasio Island's democracy for his own, undemocratic pursuits.

6. The fact that I didn't bothered creating a fictional character to be a leader to this fictional nation, and instead made myself the leader.

[All Spain]

Because we haven't "decolonized" (although all of our former overseas possessions have all been granted state rights inside the Commonwealth and have the same representation)

[Dathiri]

Dathiri is criticised for a number of things by the international community. Firstly, it has a monopoly in Thirium, a material that can be used in refining FTL fuel to increase its general efficiency. This monopoly ensures somewhat of a stranglehold on the material

Secondly, it has deep ties with the Kiiyash Guild, and all of the criminal endeavours that said Guild partakes in.

Finally, most of its population are former penal colony 'workers' (read: government run slaves) who are now free by no-one's permission but their own. As such, a number of former Uvanshan/Uvanshan successor states wish to bring Dathiri back into the fold.

However, there are a great deal of international groups and other nations protecting them, as the rather chaotic nature of Dathiri presently is good for business in Thirium.

[Tellurem]

The Roman Republic frequently faces international criticism for its unabashed human supremacism and imperialism, with its vast territorial expansion campaigns being coupled with large-scale disenfranchisement of native xenoi populations and their replacement with human settlers. It also faces criticism for its intense nationalism and pseudo-state worship, which is codependent with the Republic's innate imperialism.

[Ivory Coasts]

The Global Slavery Index estimated that in 2016 more than 7,000,000 people were living in "conditions of modern slavery", or 0.5% of the population, including victims of human trafficking, forced labor, forced marriage, child labor, and state-imposed forced labor. All except the last category are illegal. The state-imposed forced system was formally abolished in 2013 but it is not clear the extent to which its various practices have stopped. The Ivorian penal system includes labor prison factories, detention centers, organ harvesting centers, and re-education camps. Prisoners are paid based on their performance in prison, but many have reported needing their families to send money to them. Many of the prisoners are political or religious dissidents, and some are recognized internationally as prisoners of conscience.

[THE Grob]

Oh... so much. But all of these are lies created by the religious fools to make our quest for technology and science appear sinful!
They have accused of the following (which is totally not true and are nothing but fallacies)

• Planet Cracking and Starbusting
• Breaking of the Galactic Code
• Biological and Chemical warfare
• Disrupting the peace
• Refusing and outright bypassing peace treaties
• Enslavement and purging of species
• Tyrannical dictatorship
• "No sense of empathy or humor!"

Do not trust those who criticize us... They are as sane as the slaves workers who try to gain their "independence" when they are as free as can be!

[Greater Catarapania]

Misuse of Genetic Engineering isn't at the top of the list, but it's not at the bottom either.

What's at the top of the list? Our nuclear program. We've developed fourth and fifth generation nuclear weapons - weapons that have negligible fallout and can be scaled down to subkiloton yields - and make extensive use of them. We even achieve superior kill ratios of combatants to civilians with our nuclear arsenal than other nations do with their conventional arsenals! But do we achieve international recognition for that? NO! Everybody hears the "N-Word" and flips the heck out! Why? I don't know! Their nuclear arsenals sit in silos, pointed at millions of innocent civilians waiting for somebody to look at them funny, and somehow we're the bad guys!

[Estado Novo Portugues]

Our religiousness is probably already cliché at this point, so I'll say something different. Corporal punishment is legal and widely used in schools, and more than half of students will get a beating at some point in their lives.

[Bagong Luzon]

The main criticism surrounding the Kingdom involves its neoreactionary approach to society: the establishment of an absolute monarchy on the bones of the constitutional authoritarianism that defined the presidency of the man that would become King Ferdinand I, the creation of a noble class composed of people who have been appointed to what were once elected positions (thus formalizing a quasi-feudal system) the weakening of the legislature through its absorption into the noble class, a strong paternalistic attitude to society, and a political system that is best summed as "Official Nationality, Philippine Style."

[National Socialist State Germany]

Germany is criticized for sending traitors and non aryans to labour camps and executing them.
(anyone who does not follow the Hitlerist are considered traitors)

We once made a deal with the Republic of Schea,
The deal was that we would treat the Scheans who showed loyalt with respect or send them back to their homeland.
The deal was accetped by both parties but since rescent times the Schean republic have showed little interest in keeping this deal going so the NSSG goverment have ordered that all Scheans should be shoot at sight, no matter the age.

[Pulsroth]

We are one of the few nations in our universe that maintain the use of the death penalty, a tradition which sometimes puts us at odds with our largest trade partner, Canada.

Also, our head of government, despite being democratically elected, came to power at the rather young age of 31. As such, some nations far larger than ourselves tend to not take our diplomacy seriously.

[Izukyu]

Our relatively strict and "old-fashioned" justice system, which continues to utilize capital punishment, corporal punishment, hard labor and public shaming, etc.

[Hobbes Dystopia]

The Dystopia is fiercely criticized for it's expansionism and warmongering, which has triggered numerous small scale invasions to small countries and international crisis. The one of a kind political system of the Dystopia, which most nations perceive as a tyrannical dictatorship doesn't help either.

[The Twilight Embassy]

International, you say?

A bunch of things the universe in general criticizes Dark Star Tower and/or The Twilight Embassy for:

[Free Federal States]

Some don’t like our position as a great power and seek to undermine it. For the most part, we are liked, especially because we are able to keep the East Americans (USA) in check and stop them from doing stupid things like overthrowing democratic governments. We do this by giving them friendly council and advice which they are actually willing to listen to. Sometimes it doesn’t work, and then we get backlash for not stopping them from doing stupid things.

[The Union of British North America]

We are called Western imperialists usually and we are considered by some to be lapdogs for an Anglo-American hegemony on the world.
