Because Ecorria has too many official languages. Anyone who wants a job in politics has to be fluent in three languages, but the average Ecorrian only speaks one language fluently.

Unpopular acts by the Republic of Strahcoin
  • Things condemned by the EU (in this fictitious timeline, at least):
    • "Controlling women's bodies" (aka making abortion illegal, saving numerous unborn babies from being killed)
    • "Letting the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" (aka espousing free-market capitalism, which has make every Strahconian richer)
    • "Letting corporations exploit children" (aka letting children work if (and only if) they consent to doing so)
    • "Letting the poor starve/die in the streets" (aka not implementing government welfare programs or "universal healthcare")
    • "Being racist/sexist" (aka not implementing affirmative action, equal pay acts, anti-hate speech laws, or any of that discriminatory stuff)
    • "Being homophobic" (aka defining marriage as between a man and a woman)
    • "Being transphobic" (aka defining gender as binary and boolean)
    • "Being xenophobic" (aka maintaining borders and a strong military)
    • "Being bigoted" (aka allowing free speech but not listening to those who use violence)
    • "Being stubborn and not accepting progress" (aka adhering to traditional values)
    • "Denying climate change and destroying the environment" (aka deciding that climate change is natural and not that harmful, using nuclear power and fossil fuels instead of wind or solar, and not implementing environmental regulations)
  • Things condemned by the AntiStrahcoin League (acts that are not as unpopular, but I will mention anyways):
    • "Halting the socialist revolution" (aka having capitalism)
    • "Stopping us from achieving world power" (aka having a strong military)
    • "Leaving the commoners to their own devices" (aka following the Constitution instead of dictating the people's every move)
    • "Being preachy fundamentalists who want to destroy progress" (aka not implementing an atheocracy)
Not all NS stats/policies may be used. NOTICE: Factbooks and Dispatches are mostly outdated. See here for more info.
Accidental policies: Marriage Equality. I blame nsindex.net for not mentioning that part in no. 438 even though common sense dictates that I should have figured it out myself

Aziria has received international condemnation for the 2002 pardoning of all people charged with war crimes in the 1990-1996 Aziran Civil War. Although the government claims that the pardons were necessary to bring peace to the country, the action was widely criticized both internationally and domestically. Every year on 24 February, the anniversary of the beginning of the civil war, the March for Justice is held in Basril by people demanding the prosecution of war criminals.

The pardons are a polarizing issue in Aziran politics, with many political parties promising to reverse them. A 2019 poll found that 38% of Azirans say the government was right to issue the pardons, 39% would like to see the pardons reversed, and 23% are unsure.

Our international community sees us as unwelcome upstarts or unwelcome invaders, depending on the context. A few of the Old World's powers are good friends of ours, but this is rare. Smaller nations, and unstable ones, tend to either think of us as bullies or conquerors, though this is not our intent. Much like the Empire before us, as they wane, we try to rise to the challenge of providing the disparate peoples of the world a defender when they are either unwilling or unable to defend themselves. Unlike the Empire which preceded us, we are not unwilling to use force to get evil men to stop being evil... permanently.

In short, they hate us for being imperialistic do-gooders on one hand or being stupid colonials on the other. Or worse, both.

Funny that none them have had the balls to do anything about it with the exception of the Ruthenians.

Given that we are a small, unimportant city, on an unremarkable planet, in a backwater star system with barely 12 billion total inhabitants (i.e, hardly anyone lives here!), few people have even heard of us. That said, we do get some criticism, mainly from our close neighbours here on Malebar:

- The Malebarans consider us, like basically everyone else they meet, to be "hypersocial savages"
- The Gordonites think we are too artificial and reliant on our comfortable lifestyles (they live a primitive lifestyle out in the desert, around the Gordon Oasis)
- The Rolaxians also tend to share this view, although in their case it's usually projection as we are very similar (except unlike us they don't live in domes)
- The Capers usually think that our aesthetics are ugly and our people are loud, immoral and obnoxious
- The Volemites also find our aesthetics ugly, but for different reasons, and consider us to overly reserved and timid

We only share a border with the first three civilisations, but it's the Capers who are our real rivals on the planet. Caper propaganda portrays us as a massive threat to their way of life, whereas opportunities for interaction with Gordonites are rare and very few people have even seen a real Malebaran

Critics:
  • Too permissive immigration policies
  • Hypocrisy about immigragion: despite Alinghi is one of nation who hame most immigrants in the world, Alinghi is one of the nation who expel most immigrants in the world (ca. 45-55% of arrivals was expelled in 5 years after their arrival. Most of them is expelled because broke the anti-discrimiatory law, against lgbt members, or members of different religions.
  • Anti-religious agenda, most criticizing the government policies against religion. The government assures that is only against foundementalist of all religion, and it's not government fauld if them do hate speech against minorities, or themself. Due point two hate speech is one of most common reasons of expulsion (not only islamists, but also UltraOrtodox and Evangelical Christians can be hit as par by the strong anti-discrimination laws)
  • Spreading "Soros Agenda"
  • Spreading the "Gender Theory"
  • Spreading the "Kalergi Plan" (in Alinghi the 80% of population in mixed raced) (by the right-wing-led government)
  • To be the interest of "higher powers".
  • Spreading "Globalism"
  • To "conquest" with investiment the African continent as China des. They say the West to Alinghi and East to China.

Barfleur, despite being a generally popular nation on the world stage, is often criticized for its nuclear and radiological weapons program. This program, codenamed Project Silver Sky, is often seen as harmful to the environment and a bane to world peace. As it is, both arguments are nonsense--we have no plans to actually use these weapons, they are merely a deterrent, and theorists at the highest levels of academia believe world peace to be a fantasy.

I live in the US, but am anti-Democrat, anti-Republican, & strongly anti-corporatocracy. Refusal to side with only the right or only the left may be unpopular, but I'm not willing to blindly support something solely because a political party says I should.

Primarily, its lack of universal suffrage and (mostly) non-democratic system of government. While there are systems of accountability and checks and balances, the Reasonable recognizes that democratic systems of governance are prone to populism, demagogic appeals, and poor, short-term oriented decision-making and thus have restrictions on who may have the authority to participate in the decision-making process in the Reasonable. We are often portrayed as an authoritarian state, but no one person in the government has absolute power. The National Governor is held accountable by the National Board of Regents, while the National Board of Regents, after recent reforms, may be subject to recall with a 2/3 supermajority of the population that have passed the Advanced Civics Exam (see factbook).

The rule of the Sultanate has been critisized as despotism for centuries. His Imperial Majesty the Sultan is in law and practice the absolute ruler over the 700 million (IC number) subjects of the Haminid Empire. Democratic reforms may have taken place, and it may have been over a century since the Sultan last exercised his direct mandate, and yet the west continues the tirade. We are supposed to accept western values, allow the mentally ill and the criominals a say in governance and other absurd ideas. End conscription, legalize homosexuality and alcohol, make his Imperial majesty a figurehead. No! The Sultanate will endure, 700 years of Hamidi rule will not end in decadence and failure because some foreigners cry about us on the Internet. If they want our oil their governments better hold their feet stil, haha.

Allegedly:

  • conducting false-flag attacks while dressed as foreign paramilitaries
  • conducting drone strikes against terrorist fighters
  • supporting regional dictatorships
  • overthrowing regional governments
  • supporting regional protest movements
  • undemocratic deep-state control of the executive branch
  • torturing terrorists
  • torturing dissidents
  • destabilizing the region

Officially

  • attempting to secure hegemony over regional waters
  • opposing foreign influence in the region
  • supporting a dictatorship's conflict against a terrorist group

Here's an incomplete list of common complains or concerns about Aryax. Most are false, exaggerated, or not really objectionable:
  • Almost complete denial of all political and civil rights
  • Being a one-party state, holding meaningless elections
  • A command economy that denies so-called "economic rights" to citizens
  • The state monopoly of the media
  • The use of a national intranet and the blocking of the vast majority of the global internet
  • A "cult of personality" around the leader, heavy "indoctrination" of children
  • Near-universal de facto ban on religion
  • Opposition to women's and LGBT rights
  • The alleged use of concentration and extermination camps for dissidents, LGBT people, and religious believers
  • An almost complete ban on emigration
  • The use of the death penalty, including public executions in some cases
  • The use of a secret police service (the MGB) that supposedly acts extralegally
  • The tagging of citizens with ID chips
  • The Social Credit System that takes advantage of the aforementioned chips
  • Limits on personal autonomy such as bans on adultery and same-sex activity, and curfew and prudism laws
  • Denial of war crimes supposedly committed during the civil war
  • A ban on cars and other private motorized vehicles
  • A ban on alcohol and all recreational drugs, with heavy and "disproportionate" punishments
  • The use and support of nuclear power plants
  • The development of WMD and a "suspicious" space program
  • All of the former apparently amounts to "crimes against humanity"
