What is your nation's policy on Humanitarian Aid?

Postby Erasticanius » Tue Sep 27, 2011 12:16 pm

In Erasticanius, we offer humanitarian aid to both sides of a conflict, in order to make sure no civilians are harmed as war progresses.

For Minoa, civilians are the priority in regards to humanitarian aid.

Our policy is that we don't give any. Which isn't out of any selfishness or greed, but because we're governing a country with countless billions of people here, we simply must make them a priority and not 'waste' resources.

Private aid organizations do have international operations, however, and they do help when possible, but again their domestic operations are a top priority.

It is the duty of the state to mirror Jesus; compassion and compensation for victims of disasters, famines, and other acts that leave those in need with nothing will receive extensive humanitarian aid without strings attatched.

However, we give no foreign aid except that which is humanitarian. To us, all non-humanitarian aid is wasteful and foolish nation building. Let them build themselves. :geek:

the federation does not provide aid to conflict in which she is not directly involved in, however where the federation does have a strong interest so do she provide aid both to wounded enemy soldiers as well as civilians whenever possible.

We don't really understand it, as a nation that has maintained an isolationist policy for many generations it seems odd to send aid to other countries.

Overall, we usually only offer Humanitarian Aid, which is dubbed Sentientarian Aid in order to ensure it doesn't sound Homocentric, to Reptilian nations suffering from Human/Mammalian Supremacist oppression, civil war, regular war, or natural disaster. We also send it to any non-Human nation/group struggling against the evils of Human Supremacism.

Then it isn't really humanitarian, is it? It's politically motivated, before it's motivated by a humanitarian desire to help the needy.

U.S. humanitarian missions are only launched following cautious consideration and planning. They are cooperative efforts between the government of the U.S.A., especially by the State and Defense Departments, and various NGOs. Aid is routed directly to the people who need it, to avoid it ending up helping the local problem child types.

Efforts to coerce us rarely end well.

I'm a Christian, and that means a lot of things, but to sum it up, it means I believe in God despite having not seen Him personally with my own eyes.

Atheists are offended by God, and make every effort to oppress His followers and to suppress mention of His name, despite the fact that they claim to not believe He even exists.

Who's irrational, again?

As an offshoot of international trade, it is in the best interests of our businessfolk to maintain global economic conditions at a primo-A grade.

Therefore, corporate watchdog groups have coordinated with over 100,000 independent firms to coordinate necessary aid to countries in need of it. This comes from the pockets of CEOs, the voluntary contributions of employees, and collection pots for donations from consumers and other private citizens.

These efforts are all coordinated via chapters in other countries, independent of the country's government, in an effort to prevent corruption.

YellowApplan military doctrine focuses on the safety of involved civilians, as they are far too often a needless casualty of war or national misfortune. In military conflicts, YellowApplan forces will set up "safe zones", which will accept civilians and keep them out of the crossfire. Such safe zones are heavily defended, and often serve as a waypoint for eventual evacuation to YellowApplan cities should citizens desire it.

The Merchant Republics would generally follow the same policy.

Though it helps that we really get only two kinds of neighbours, people trying to kill us and people who don't need our help.


Though as it stands, the standard military policy for foreign conflict includes deluging their civilian sectors with so much humanitarian aid via airdrop that their populace lose any reasonable understanding for why we're their enemies. A strategy we affectionately call "The Teddy Bear Doctrine", which is surprisingly pretty damn effective.

Because go ahead commies, just try to explain to your children why you shot down the bombers loaded with teddy bears and candy.

Herador and to a certain degree the entirety of the AIS are Isolationist. Aid is sometimes provided in the face of a natural disaster or other horrible event (think Rwanda for an example), but in any other case no.

Distruzians respect humanitarian initiatives by engaging in hostilities defensively and only against the property of those actually attacking Distruzian property (I.E. no bombing campaigns against cities, no tariffs, no blockades, no embargoes, etc etc). Distruzians typically respond concisely and responsibly... when combating a gang of criminal in a foreign nation, favors are called in. Cosa Nostra are everywhere and nowhere.
