Alpes a Septentrionali imperium wrote:This is a question from some of the Imperial Princes of the Alpes

Alpes a Septentrionali imperium wrote:"What are the differences between cartoons and humans. I want to know this because if I ever come to Cartoonia I want to be able to tell the difference" Prince Louis Randolf R.I.W

Answered by Secretary of The Interior, Pearl

“Well... the main difference is that some of the citizens are not just human like, they are also animals, gems like me, toys, monsters, basically anything that looks animated and can walk, talk, and feel defines us as cartoons and Cartoonians”.

Alpes a Septentrionali imperium wrote:"How does government work in Cartoonia, as you say it is an imperial democracy. I have never heard of this type of government and would like to research more into it." - Prince-Peer Charles Ernest D.d.C

Answered by Supreme Leader Jimmy Kudo

“We have a parliamentary body like every other democratic society. The difference is that we also have a supreme ruler of an empire, me, that rules over the different territories we have acquired throughout the years, it’s basically the United States as it was in the late 1890s post-Spanish American War”.

Alpes a Septentrionali imperium wrote:"Is your military considered to be that of one of the great powers and how well does your army do on the battlefield" -Prince Matthieu Jean Jr M.e.S.P.d.I'E. D.d.L

Answered by Secretary of Defense, Chad Dickson

“We have fought in many wars over our existence. Most of the conflicts we engaged in have resulted in victory, war after war. I’d say we we are considered one of the great powers. I’m sure you’d like to see it in action, so we invite you, Your Excellency, to come watch us on a joint training operation or the next time we declare war”.

Answered by Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Charity Bazaar

“I’m sorry, but who the heck is this Barney you speak of? But answer your question, if anyone terrible gets into a high public office position, then the people can ask thier representative to create a referendum to kick the person out of office, once our Supreme Leader signs it, the person is officially booted from government”.

To whoever it concerns in the esteemed nation of Cartoonia.

First I would like to say hello and formally introduce myself. I am Matthieu Jean Éric Guillaume Aldrick Nicolas Meroveus de Froid-Couronne, Empereur-Roi of Alpes a Septentrionalis and the lands under the Imperial Crown. But I am mostly known throughout a good chunk of the multiverse and my own empire as Matthieu XV, I believe that I may have been mentioned on the embassy papers and I believe the imperial princes have already made contact with your government, ~~petite merde~~. I hope they didn't cause any trouble with you and your nation ~~As they seemed to forget formalities and just go off on their own without approval. but don't worry there will be repercussions for them.~~. But anyway I've been dragging out this letter too long, so here are my questions. First, what are your nations general opinions on monarchy as a system of government, second what do you think of the monarchy of Alpes, Third is Catholicism a major religion in your nation, and finally what is your nations general opinion on Alpes I hope that these question s are answered swiftly and that I don't cause any strain on the inquiry office. And also thank you in advance for answering these questions.

Sincerely, Matthieu XV, E-R of Alpes a Septentrionalis

~~Let's hope the imperial editor actually manages to do a good job on what I ask in editing the letter.~~

Answered by Supreme Leader Jimmy Kudo.

“Oh it’s no trouble your majesty, it’s a pleasure to be talking with you. The prince behaved themselves, as should all royals be. We are happy to answer some questions about our country and empire. To answer your three questions.

1. As long as the monarchy takes care of its people and listen to them, they are a fine system of government. A good monarch should always have the people in mind.

2. We think you a fine group of royals. Your sons, the princes, were very insightful with their questions. It’s good you all have a keen interest in the Cartoon political body.

3. Yes, most of our nation is Catholic. Our nation practices both our home religion, Toontholsism and Catholicism. I myself practice Toontholsism, and we preach religious tolerance if those religions cause no harm to the community, but a lot of the secretaries and politicians are Catholic. Most of our policies stem from Catholic Conservative views.

I hope that answers your questions your majesty, it really is no strain at all. Sincerest apologies if we didn’t answer as quickly as we usually are, our foreign secretary took a week long vacation and is starting to get back to work”.

"We have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, ranging from Duff and Pawtucket beer, to local sakes and wines. All of these selections vary in alcohol content, but I can assure you that they kick a fine hangover. If you would like, I can direct you to the nearest local brewery representative".

“Greetings. Am am First Lord de Vara, First Lord on foreign affairs. As you most likely already know, the Imperium is a world spanning empire, with holding dominion over large chunks of the world. But, we know your country partakes in election, something that doesn’t happen in the imperium. But we want to know of one party, the Cartoon Imperial Party or something similar to that. So we want to know the goals of this party if it manages to come to power somehow, and what it’s plans are for the future of the empire that your nation apparently supports” -First lord de Vara, First Lord of foreign affairs and speaker of his majesty’s decree and will.

“Ah! Forgive me if I don’t look like myself. I dressed up as the great general Robert E Lee to secure more votes from the people. But let me tell you that if I win, I will expand our nation’s territories through aggressive force and expanding our military. Everyone needs to respect our authoritah. My running mate has also convinced me to end social welfare and reform to pave way for this new political era of my chancellory. There will be no room for lives other than the Cartoon Master Race.

As for our empire, our goal will be to maintain our current territorial claims through force if necessary. I also want to see our empire expand around the world and see that we colonize space first. Cartoons Above All will forever be our motto, but my motto is Alle begrüßen das neue Cartoon-Imperium”.

Answered by Cartoon Historian Gary Chalmers.

“When we first started, we had the idea of having a democratic government with a state leader who can make decisions instantly when needed. We valued culture and religion over science, not that it wasn’t important. Over time as we gained more territory via diplomacy, wars to free slaves, and our military build-up, we recognized the need for an international task force to combat child abuse and slavery world wide. We have built an imperialistic, democratic society that embraces its cultural history and heritage”.

"Yo dudes! This is Overboss Shawn Bjornson, the leader of Skyhooked. We are planin' to update our arsenal and are lookin' for ideas from... everywhere. Ya' know, while we are creative at makin' guns, we still gotta learn more from others, just to prevent reinvention of bicycle. I wanna ask this: What are the most wacky guns KND uses? Non classified for course. For example, I've heared of that Nude Torpedo thingy... it somehow strips ya' off your outfit and leaves ya' all naked... Or those scrap laser rifles. Made with ingenuity on par with Skyhokedian if not better."-Shawn Bjornson
