Reasons why people oppose Olwe? Let’s see:

- We’re extremely interventionist, pisses off much of the international community.
- Most of our population are magic users, religious folks seem not to like that.
- Our government is militantly secular, which also rubs religious people the wrong way (is there a right way to rub celibate people?)
- Speaking of sex, we have way too much of it for most people’s liking. Puritans are enraged by Olwe’s existence.
- Anti-porn activists think we exploit and abuse women (strangely, they never complain about how we’re treating performers with male genitalia).
- Capitalists don’t like our mixed economy. We’re actually not fully socialist, but we’re socialist enough to draw criticism apparently.
- Anti-war activists think we’re imperialist warmongering scum. We admit to the warmongering part.
- Animal rights activists think we’re bad leftists for our staunchly meat-eating ways. I direct your attention to our national motto... nature, red in tooth and claw, is our commonwealth.

Magic: Non-negotiable
Ponies: Yes, occasionally
Tech levels incompatible? Then kick me out of the thread, because if you RP with me you accept my tech.
Note: Before 2480, Olwe was called Athan. If you see this word in a thread, it's because you mentioned a year incompatible with Olwe in that thread but still made it open to all techs and therefore are allowing Athan's magic.

The usual reasoning from anti-brain-emulation factions goes as follows: "We can't be entirely sure that uploading preserves consciousness, since we can't exactly trust the people in the computers, who would obviously believe their own continuity of consciousness. Holder of Dreams could make a really convincing argument for us, but an ASI can make a really convincing argument for anything at all, so we should discard its statements on principle. Additionally, some other essential element of the mind may exist that is not encapsulated in conversion to classical information — some quantum or even extraphysical part. It stands to reason that these people may be dead, and the Kasa Tkoth Sphere could therefore be the most destructively genocidal civilization in the Milky Way."

In practice, opposition takes the form of small-scale conflicts at uploading stations and metawarfare/cyberwarfare operations against distributed computing clusters; the K-Sphere proper is beyond the military capacity of most local factions to directly engage.

Our politics has seen a sharp leftward and socially progressive trend. A lot of more fiscally and socially conservative people and nations don't like it. Our current president is the first president to call themselves a socialist.

Other powers often reefer to Eurasia as "Mad Scientists with a State", referring to the overall attitude of the Government, and it's dispassionate, cold attitude it has towards it's own citizens as it seeks it's own form of progress to further it's own goals. There is also a distinct lack of interest in international affairs as Eurasia only acts for it's own interest, rarely heeding other nation's words when a rare non-clandestine action is taken by the Eurasian Government. Myths spread fast, and with a near total lack of information coming from the Eurasian State, what tidbits of information that have escaped have often been warped, exaggerated, and used out of context, the Outer World being left to guess what exactly occurs within Eurasian borders.

- We are hated for being too "liberal" as same-sex relationships are allowed, and equality between all genders are highly enforced and protected by law.
- We are hated for being a secular country. A lot of religious, conservative people (mainly in Amenria and in the Middle East) dislike Ascion for its clear separation between the government and the church/ulama/any religious entities.
- We are hated because some people consider us "USA 2.0". Some people who hated the USA before the World War 3 continued to hate on our country because Ascion has close resemblance with the USA.
- We are hated for being a republic. Right-wing monarchist people who support the totalitarian regime of Amenria dislike our country because they still think Ascion is part of Amenria, and the President is "sinful" because he betrayed Tianshi, the Supreme Leader of A m e n r i a
- Some people just hate superpower countries for no reason.

We're opposed by the Commonwealth of Great Britain, the United States and other capitalist powers because of our close relations with the USSR, and because of our refusal to accept the CGB as the legitimate government of Britain. Within the CGB, the political right hates us because of our socialist economic system, our dismantling of traditional religious authority and our promotion of equality between the sexes, while much of the left hates us for "betraying" their idea of socialism and implementing "authoritarian" policies (which are only necessary because of constant meddling and subversion by the West).

Ah, a question that I have not yet encountered yet. I'd be glad to answer.

I think the main reason why people would oppose my nation is the extreme dedication to natural conservation. Our religion dictates that no plant or animal should be purposefully hurt. We find ways of hunting and killing animals for simple survival, the foremost praying for acceptance and forgiveness before the hunts, but plants are not purposefully hurt at all.
Our people judge other nations based on that one principle of conservation. We like nations that priorities the environment, and hate others that damage it. This will certainly make us enemies in the future, from others that feel we are too focused on nature, and in turn believes that we would be a threat.

That's why people would oppose us. Thank you for the question.

We do not put up with any of China's s***t, so they have been boycotting us for decades now (and we them), and demanding their allies do the same. Problem is that we are the world leader in technological innovation, so any country that doesn't trade with us tends to fall behind, and a lot of China's allies are aware of this and trade with us anyway (though not always directly)

Though the biggest thing is probably the fact that we keep moving through other nations, we've been doing it for centuries, a lot of the countries we move through didn't even exist when we started, but somehow it's always a new problem
I use all NS stats (even the dumb ones like weather) except for population
Most of my lore is spread around the forums (In cases of conflict, the most recent is canon) because I can't be bothered to make a factbook for everything. There is no prize for finding all of it, not even bragging rights. Why would you brag about something like that?

Though it might be tempting to ignore all criticism from these tinfoil-hatters, there might be some point in their rationales.
For instance, the Commonwealth of Arcadia maintains strategic alliances with regimes with low accountability, like Persia or Pakistan. However, an ability to assert control around the world might be prudent to prevent world wars. Their accusations are understandable, yet we hope they will eventually fade away.

Another major complaint is that we provoke a massive brain drain since 1961. We're not gonna deny that, we had suggested the best accommodations to the scientists, and even if someone tops that, it's a win-win in our book!

We might be not as perfect as some nations think they are, but at least we had cultivated a habit to openly discuss our national problems and ways to solve them, instead of pretending that everything is fine and dandy and cannot be the other way around.
