"Howdy there partners! I wonder, what you folks think about good ol' Skyhooked? A decadent land of cheap booze, weed and elaborate meat dishes, likely to give an unprepared person a heart attack. And a land of free and brave folks, ready to defend their freedom and freedom of others till the last breath. We don't care about nationality and don'thave border control, gun regulations, and victimless crimes are not crimes in Skyhooked."-Stan Dixon

“....... How has your country not collapsed by this much freedom. I mean, you seem like nice people. But the government is not doing much. Which is why our theory is that if something is wrong in society, it is the duty of the people and the government to do something about it”.

"Sincere thanks for your concerns, but our society is totally fine. Right now, we are in golden age, so there is nothing that needs urgent fixing right now. Besides, our extensive universal healthcare and education accessible to almost everyone are not "Nothing". We created all this freedom, because in the past we were oppressed by an evil tyrant and many of us died in those horrible years of his regime, before we revolted. If an enemy attacks us, we will stand together and fight, if disaster occurs, we will restore everything ASAP. By the way, how do you defend yourselves? And do you loot your fallen opponents on battlefield?"-Stan Dixon

“We have the strongest Cartoon military force on earth. We compose of many weapons ranging from Pre-WW1 to Post WW2 tech. Our General our top notch on this side of the Pacific and we have compulsory military service for Toons living in the cities which means we have well trained troops to fight long and aggressive wars. We not only have the standard weapons of mass destruction, we also have fantasy weapons like our state alchemists and the etherion satellite cannon as well as magicians and such. And when you mean loot fallen opponents, do you mean take over their territories, or just loot their weapons. In any case we do both”.

"Yo' dudes, on behalf of the Council and Skyhooked, despite our differences, I'd like to propose to extend our diplomatic realtions and offer you a trade deal between our countries. You'll get a discount for our best goods and weapons. Just try our PL-74 plasma rifle, it's awesome!"-Casey James, council member and leader of Refreshment Cult.

"Oh, and what do you think about our religion, the Refreshment Cult? It's a neo-pagan, buddhist like religion, which emphases on hedonism and pleasure, and it doesn't deny science. In fact, it's philosophy embraces it. We are peaceful religion, yet we will defend our faith if attacked."-Casey James

Well sir, The KND Corps fights for child rights. They are called durning conflicts of adult tyranny. So yes, they fight adults, but only adult tyranny. Also our government is ran by kids as well. And sir...... Please go home, your drunk. Otherwise I’ll have to call security.

“Well, a trade agreement sounds great. And if you want to open up an embassy in our nation. You can sign up for our Embassy Exchange Program. We would also like to establish an embassy in your nation too.

Answered by Charity Bazaar, Secretary of Foreign Affairs

“Well, we offer religious freedom in this nation as long as it’s not violent and does not harm the other rights of our citizens. This policy was made after The Tower of Heaven Liberation War, when a Cult of Zeref ravaged the lands and kidnapped children and enslaved them to resurrect a dead overlord”.

We're not declaring war! Sheesh! Touchy, aren't you?!

We were just noting that our many independent raid gangs will see you as an easy mark. Your comment about only having 50 years' worth of progress sort of cements you as a primitive nation, too.

What are etherion cannons?

Also, what makes you think that satellites that are orbiting your planet can have any effect on our planets? It's not like we'd let you bring any satellites (of any kind) around here and give you a chance to set them up over OUR worlds.

“You’re intergalactic? Well let us send a picture of our Space League’s fleet



“Pretty nifty. Our etherion satellite cannons are magical devices, that can destroy an entire nation, like atom bombs but they are reloadable”.

Glory to the Cartoon Empire! Cartoons Above All!

What is your official stance on Satan? Do you offer the proper human sacrifice for His glory?

Answered by Charity Bazaar, Secretary of Foreign Affairs



“Like we said before, we offer freedom of religion as long as it doesn’t harm the rights of the people. Most of our people don’t worship dark lords so we can’t get any demographics of it. As for human sacrifices, it is totally outlawed by the government thanks to the Tower of Heaven incident back in the 1950s”.

What could this Tower of Heaven be that it convinced the government to prohibit human sacrifice? Does the government not realize that money and power come from Hell? Without the proper sacrifice, how can your people ever hope to acquire fast cars and faster women?

Answered by both Chancellor Erza Scarlet and Charity Bazaar, Secretary of Foreign Affairs



“The Tower of Heaven, also known as the R-System would have been used to cast a forbidden spell that can bring the dead back to life. A cult of magic worshippers started to construct it years ago. It requires multiple human sacrifices, so the cult kidnapped villagers in the smaller towns of Cartoonia, mostly children, and forced them to build the tower as thier slaves...”

“The only reason I know this is because I was one of them...”

“Anyone who tried to resist the cult and escape, would mysteriously disappear. We never had any peace of mind. We lived in constant fear. But we bonded and made friends despite this. I met most of my firends there. We might not be here to tell this story if ot wasn’t for the intervention of the Cartoon Forces, those many years ago”.

OOC: yes I took this from Fairy Tail lore.



“Yes, what happened those many years ago was a tragedy. I was only the Gran-Admiral of the Navy at the time, truly a tragedy. Since then, the Cartoon Government has put caution to make sure this never happens again. We outlawed the practice of dark magic worshipping, commonly known as Zerefism. We also stationed military troops in our smaller towns to prevent pillaging from happening. As for the other things you said, we are kinda old fashioned. We have cars, trains, weapons that seem to have come from the past era. Heck, even our policies are outdated. No one but us has a policy of imperialism and practices it”.
