Does your government lie?

[Democratic Koyro]

The Party is always right. Always. The Party tells the truth. Always. Any None Party-Approved opinions are to be considered lies.

[Kvitland]

No, absolutely not! How dare you claim we do! You must know too much!

[Imeriata]

Yes it we have been known to withhold certain facts from the population from time to time and sometimes so are a lie told in the interest of security and safety but it would hardly be more than other nations.

[ArghNeedAName]

The government itself doesn't, but the political parties do a lot.

[Faolinn]

Nope.UFO crashed? Everyone knows. Prominent politician steals from the people? We give the people his home address.

[Estainia]

No of course not, that would be wrong; lying to our people, our enemies, even! Completely deplorable a---Yes we bloody well lie, who the hell doesn't besides Estainians?

^ No, we don't. It goes against our moral fiber, and it's just not in our character. (ie: Because I, the writer, said so.)

[Vellosia]

Most of what the populace believe about the Government is an enormous web of propaganda, lies and deceit.

[Realm of the End]

Gabriel says that governments that say we lie of course are themselves, lying.

[New Lyrane]

Would you believe me if I said no? Of course, a government can never disclose absolutely everything. But our government does try to avoid actual untruths, at least to the voting public.

[The Holy Therns]

The Party would honestly never lie!


They lie dishonestly a lot, though...

[Zearing II]

Does your nation's government ever lie to your populace?

Well, yes. What government doesn't? What smart government, we mean. Some secrets need to be kept, and if that means neglecting to mention something once in a while, or even misinformation, then we are not above such to protect this nation and her people.

[Greater Mackonia]

Of coarse not!!! the mackonian government is a beacon of truth and transparency across the world

No just kidding the government tells lies to the people just as any respectable government would

[Sarzonia]

All governments lie, both IC and OOC.

[Central Lothian]

I'll answer your question with a question - Does the sun rise in the East?

[Garwall]

The Government of Garwall never has, nor ever will, lie to its people. Ever.

-Official Statement from the High Senate of Belgratz

[Realm of the End]

All governments lie.

No they don't, you lie.

[Dagnia]

No, Dagnia's policies have always been of truthfulness and transparency to the people. Individuals in the government have been caught lying in the past, but have usually been punished for it, unless the matter it involves is purely personal. Lying is considered a form of corruption, which is severely punished in Dagnia.

[Conscentia]

No, considering it is constitutionally banned - politicians who lie to the public are guilty of perjury, and must step down from power as well as suffer the consequences of perjury.

[Conscentia]

I'll answer your question with a question - Does the sun rise in the East?

No.*

*OOC: This country is on a different planet.

Does your nation's government ever lie to your populace?

Well, yes. What government doesn't? What smart government, we mean. Some secrets need to be kept, and if that means neglecting to mention something once in a while, or even misinformation, then we are not above such to protect this nation and her people.

Withholding information is not lying. How about instead of lying, you simply not answer the question. Why be dishonest when you don't have to be.

Furthermore, not answering certain questions helps prevent political apathy by creating points of discussion.

[New Freedomstan]

Never. The State always tells the truth. Suggesting otherwise is Anti-Socialist Subversion. The Truth is, of course, subjectible to various points of view. The Socialist State represented by the Communist Party, being the Vanguard of the Proletariat, observes the material reality from the point of view of the Proletariat. What the Proletariat, as the driving force of society, sees is thus the Truth. Wether or not it is correct is irrelevant.

[Saurisisia]

Of course, just like what any common-sense government does. After all, there are some things that are best kept out of public knowledge.

[Vallermoore]

Yes, but only for a good reason, to protect life or limb,keep military secrets safe and keep trade and diplolmacy going.

[Sarcophilys]

More than we tell the truth.

[Gwonjyo]

Uhhhh..... of course not! Take your preposterous silly talk elsewhere.
