What Does the Steel Fraternity Think of You?

[Cathalysto]

Full Nation Name: The Total Neocentrist Empire of Cathalysto
Name: Cathalysto

Stance On:
Republicanism: Not bad, but too fragile.. easy to destroy.
Anarchy: Good ideology, bad application.
Totalitarianism: So bad. People will get angry easily, you need a cross between a free and a dictatorial system.
Capitalism: Best system by now. It has to be controlled carefully, it's fragile. Anyways the neoliberalism sucks a lot.
Communism: The basic idea it's good but the application is a piece of shit. It's so unreal.. the only good thing is that promotes the atheism.
Socialism: Not bad. A combination of a capitalist and a socialist societies will be perfect.
Fascism: The extremes touch themselves. Bad, bad, bad... and also promotes the religion!!
Monarchy: Piece of shit.
Abortion: Good and bad. The controlled and careful abortion of a 1-3 months fetus is accepted, but the massive abortion and the brutish operations (like the abortion of a 6-7 months fetus) is not tolerate.
Alcohol: Same as abortion. Controlled and careful drink is not bad, a night of drinking is not bad. But drink and after: drive, is penalized with some jail months.
Drugs: Must be destroyed.. ALL!
Homosexuality: I don't consider it a problem. It's just another fact in the human (and animal) beings (gay/lesbian people are normal people).
Death Penalty: It's sad to say, but there are some people that are IMPOSSIBLE to rehabilitate. People who have killed about dozens of citizens and are the darkest terrorists in the society and they don't appreciate the life. Only that type of criminals must be killed!
Militaries: When a m*therfucker comes to invade your nation, that incredible men sacrifice their life for any meter of any cities. OF COURSE, are necessary.
Gun Control: ANY person that haven't served the military for about 5 years CAN'T have guns (except the police). Have one illegal gun is penalized with one jail year.
Religion: One of the WORST things of the humanity, it has stopped the human technology and advance for hundreds of years. Must be purged, destroyed, burned and buried. The religion is a cancer.
Slavery: Have to be abolished.
Expansionism: Only if you have too many citizens (about millions) in a small area and you need more territories.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity: I'll give my opinion when I have more information.
Racial Superiority: Have to be penalized. The racism is another cancer o the humanity.
The Environment: VERY IMPORTANT! We owe everything to nature Pollute is completely illegal.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights, Universal Human Rights, What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms & Universal Individual Freedom: The empire have got a particularly concept of them. You have to give some freedom to your citizens but not an excessive freedom so then citizens will take advantage about it and probably rebel. Inside the freedom that you give them, they can do whatever they want about their lives (except be religious and confront violently to the government and the emperor). It isn't a dictatorship, so people can be gay/lesbian without any problem, they can travel where they want of the planet without any permission and do more things with total freedom.
SCIENCE!: As the environment, is very important and it's the cause of the humanity advance
Education: Important, so children have to grow up with good moral ideas, with respect to the neighbor and without any god existing idea. Religious schools are completely illegal.
Industry: Good , productive and clean Pollute and slavery are banned with some jail years.

Full Nation Name: The Greater Democratic Union of Songnam
Name: Songnam
*FormSnip*

A mostly decent-seeming nation, aside from troubling sympathies for Communism. Otherwise they appear decently democratic and Capitalist. However, the fact that their government apparently reserves the right to outlaw any religions they don't like leaves us rather leery towards the idea of opening relations with them.

OOC: Did you seriously just call the United States Republican Party "ultraconservative"? Dude, I want some of what you're smoking.

Full Nation Name: The Technocratic Planet of Dagnia
Name: Dagnia
*FormSnip*

For the most part, Dagnia seems like a reasonable nation, given their democracy, Capitalism, and individual freedoms. However, their attitudes about religion are extremely offensive to most Skorzenians, and their attitudes about education are absolutely enraging to every member of the Fraternity, given how much we value education.

So, ignorant and Godless, but otherwise all right.

*QuotePyramidSnip*

Mr. Lee,

It has come to our attention that you have done nothing but denigrate and insult the nations of the world. We would like to know exactly what your stance is on these things. Are you trying to make every nation in this world and beyond your enemy?

We are not tree-huggers, as you claim- it is common sense that leads us to support policies that cause minimal harm to the environment as it is in the best interests of society at large. It is short term thinking that makes severe environmental degradation seem like a bright idea. Continue on this path and that shall be your demise.

Infanticidal? We make every effort to prevent abortion through comprehensive sex education in our country and giving incentives to those who choose to keep the baby and try to make the adoption process run as smoothly as possible, for we recognize it is and unfortunate choice for one to make.

Hippies? Ha, you make me laugh. Hippies are pacifists. They abhor warfare to the utmost degree. Would hippies field several million soldiers? Would they support a navy of a couple hundred ships? They would not. We practice realpolitik and realize that it is sometimes necessary to go to war. We do fight back when threatened and refuse to stand down from any challenge.

Communist? Not in the traditional sense! We believe in workplace democracy, first and foremost. We do recognize that, in some industries, market mechanisms are desirable or are the most efficient and logical method (certain artisanal industries, entertainment, retail, and medical services to an extent).

I am looking forward to your response, Mr. Lee.

Sincerely,

Zakir Myosin Sezadu III, Director Emeritus

Mr. "President,"

We view just and free nations positively. Those nations built on injustice, immorality, and oppression, like yours, are viewed negatively. You and your ilk may outnumber the decent nations of the world, but that does not mean that we don't recognize them when they appear.

It is a symptom of primitive thinking to infer a simplistic order where a far more complicated series of interactions governed by the laws of physics and chemistry exist. It is so that such intellectually infantile nations such as yours insist that the "environment" and "ecosystem" exist in some form of constant balance, and further that it is desirable to maintain this balance, even if doing so is to the detriment of human interests. The sheer, childish regression of this unscientific thinking is evident in the very words that those such as you use to describe the covering of flora and fauna on the world; you use maternalistic terms like "mother nature," allowing you to, once you have projected a nonexistent harmony onto the complex interactions that make up the world, personify into an endearing form.

The simple fact of the matter is that there is no "natural" order beyond the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, and the like. The "ecosystem" is no system at all; even without human intervention there is no equilibrium present in it, only a chaotic assortment of countless varieties of living organisms constantly in flux as they evolve, compete, and go extinct, all while desparately competing over the natural mineral, nutritional, and energy resources of the world and the sun's light, as these resources slowly, almost imperceptably dwindle over the course of aeons.

The only reason that you and those others who have deluded themselves into seeing some beneficent system in the organic covering of the world are not absolutely laughable is the grim consequences of your ignorant worldview. By submitting mankind's wellbeing to that of a motley assortment of plants and animals, you are in essence declaring the inherent worthlessness of human lives and endeavors. By putting the beasts and plants of the field ahead of your own people, you are embracing the primitivity, ignorance, and squalor that our ancestors spent millenia clawing their way up out of, and doing your best to lead mankind back down into a state of absolute darkness, where we would be no better than apes.

That is why we call you tree huggers.

You have the organization in place to ensure that unwanted babies can be taken off the hands of their delinquent mothers, yet you still allow those same women to have those same babies killed, provided they are still within the womb. That is why we call you infanticidal.

Hippies are worthless, drug-addled crackpots. Given your embrace of chemical mind alteration, that seems as good a word for you as any.

"Workplace democracy" means nothing more than the annihilation of man's fundamental right to private possession. You can dress it up however you like, but it still boils down to the idea that no matter how hard a man works, no matter how fairly and honestly he comes by what is his, it can be taken from him with no better justification than that some worthless layabout "needs it."

[Violan]

Why not? This sounds fun.

Full Nation Name:The Voluntarist Lands of Violan
Name: Uh...Violan

Stance On:
Republicanism: Largely against, though some city-states within Violan may have republican systems of government--only on a voluntary basis, however.
Anarchy: For, considering Violan is an anarcho-capitalist society
Totalitarianism: Against
Capitalism: The primary economic system of Violan, greatly loved by the majority of people (though some covenants and city-states such as Reissgard do not practice it and are not forced to).
Communism: Against, with the exception of voluntary communist communities that spring up occasionally.
Socialism: Same as above.
Fascism: Ditto
Monarchy: Against, though some people are almost monarchs in terms of prestige (Professor Bernardo de la Paz's words can heavily influence the nation, for example, but he cannot force anyone to do his bidding).
Abortion: Personal views differ, though the law code expressly legalizes it. A women has a property right to her own body, and just as a property holder has the right to cast off a starving and dying man from his land property--grossly immoral though it may be--a woman can cast a nascent child from her body.
Alcohol: Legal, of course.
Drugs: Legal, though employers have been known to fire employees that abuse them. That is their right, however.
Homosexuality: Their right, of course, though some covenants and voluntary communities may ban it (which is pointless, really, since no homosexual would voluntarily join their community in the first place).
Death Penalty: The legal code focuses on restitution to the victim, and a death penalty is pointless in this. Some city-states and covenants have the death penalty for some crimes. This is currently a hot-button issue on whether or not the overall legal code should retaliate against voluntary communities that deem death for crimes lesser than, say, murder. It will likely end up, as the different defense agencies seek arbitration over the issue, that the covenants have the right to retaliate with lethal force to an extent.
Militaries: Private defense agencies form the military protection of Violan for some, while others mobilize into voluntary militias, while others eschew protection at all. Different strokes for different folks.
Gun Control: It's illegal to deprive someone of his ability to purchase whatever weapon he may like, but different property owners of roads or other land sometimes ban access to their property for people who bring in a certain caliber weapon or higher, or any gun at all.
Religion: Personal issue. There is no state to enforce a religion or not.
Slavery: Another hot-button issue in the nation at the moment. Involuntary slavery is of course outlawed, but a debate is raging whether or not someone can voluntarily sell the rights to his own personage--and to what extent the property rights law will apply to him afterward.
Expansionism: Violently opposed. Any covenant or city-state caught attempting to expand its dominion to those who do not voluntarily accept it will be met with lethal retaliatory force by the rest of the nation. Similarly, any attempt to invade Violan by an outside party altogether would be met with equal force, perhaps including nuclear weapons.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity: Up to individuals to decide, though Violan's merchants and capitalists are always seeking new markets, and of course would like to trade in the Empire.
Racial Superiority: Largely opposed, with the exception of some voluntary racial communities.
The Environment: Property rights are enforced for all land, rivers, lakes, beaches, and sea/ocean. Even the air use-rights are enforced--which almost happened back in the 19th century as nations began industrializing but the state usually decided that "progress" could not be inhibited, even if pollution harmed others.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights: Property--which includes life and liberty as you and no one else owns yourself.
Universal Human Rights: I don't quite understand the question, but property rights are enforced for all save those who voluntarily give them up (such as communists). No one is FORCED to provide for others, though many private charities take care of the less fortunate.
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms: Property--which includes life and liberty as you and no one else owns yourself.
Universal Individual Freedom: Same as "Universal Human rights".
SCIENCE!: HECK YEEEEAH!
Education: Voluntary and totally private. Parents can send children to one of many different private schools or home-school for as long or as little or they like. Child labor, while not outlawed, is discouraged by the fact that many employers will not hire children--partly due to the taboo that still exists and partly because children are often less productive than their older counterparts.
Industry: HECK YEEEEEAH! Business is booming without any government to muck things up.

[Songnam]

Full Nation Name: The Greater Democratic Union of Songnam
Name: Songnam
*FormSnip*

A mostly decent-seeming nation, aside from troubling sympathies for Communism. Otherwise they appear decently democratic and Capitalist. However, the fact that their government apparently reserves the right to outlaw any religions they don't like leaves us rather leery towards the idea of opening relations with them.

--Brother-Scholastic Zachary Lee, Head of the Imperial Skorzenian Diplomatic Corp and Elder of the Steel Fraternity

OOC: Did you seriously just call the United States Republican Party "ultraconservative"? Dude, I want some of what you're smoking.

To Mr. Lee,
I think you are mistaken, we only outlaw those religions that cause destruction of the person or the property. Also, do you know anything about communism?

Kim Ki-Yong, Head of the People's Foreign Affairs Office

EDIT:OOC: You want to know when'll smoking? I'm smoking Leftist Libertarianism with a side of pissed of at the overall blind party loyalty. And I only meant Sarah Palin and all those other people who don't believe in separating church and state

[Cathalysto]

Full Nation Name: The Total Neocentrist Empire of Cathalysto
Name: Cathalysto

Stance On:
Republicanism: Not bad, but too fragile.. easy to destroy.
Anarchy: Good ideology, bad application.
Totalitarianism: So bad. People will get angry easily, you need a cross between a free and a dictatorial system.
Capitalism: Best system by now. It has to be controlled carefully, it's fragile. Anyways the neoliberalism sucks a lot.
Communism: The basic idea it's good but the application is a piece of shit. It's so unreal.. the only good thing is that promotes the atheism.
Socialism: Not bad. A combination of a capitalist and a socialist societies will be perfect.
Fascism: The extremes touch themselves. Bad, bad, bad... and also promotes the religion!!
Monarchy: Piece of shit.
Abortion: Good and bad. The controlled and careful abortion of a 1-3 months fetus is accepted, but the massive abortion and the brutish operations (like the abortion of a 6-7 months fetus) is not tolerate.
Alcohol: Same as abortion. Controlled and careful drink is not bad, a night of drinking is not bad. But drink and after: drive, is penalized with some jail months.
Drugs: Must be destroyed.. ALL!
Homosexuality: I don't consider it a problem. It's just another fact in the human (and animal) beings (gay/lesbian people are normal people).
Death Penalty: It's sad to say, but there are some people that are IMPOSSIBLE to rehabilitate. People who have killed about dozens of citizens and are the darkest terrorists in the society and they don't appreciate the life. Only that type of criminals must be killed!
Militaries: When a m*therfucker comes to invade your nation, that incredible men sacrifice their life for any meter of any cities. OF COURSE, are necessary.
Gun Control: ANY person that haven't served the military for about 5 years CAN'T have guns (except the police). Have one illegal gun is penalized with one jail year.
Religion: One of the WORST things of the humanity, it has stopped the human technology and advance for hundreds of years. Must be purged, destroyed, burned and buried. The religion is a cancer.
Slavery: Have to be abolished.
Expansionism: Only if you have too many citizens (about millions) in a small area and you need more territories.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity: I'll give my opinion when I have more information.
Racial Superiority: Have to be penalized. The racism is another cancer o the humanity.
The Environment: VERY IMPORTANT! We owe everything to nature Pollute is completely illegal.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights, Universal Human Rights, What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms & Universal Individual Freedom: The empire have got a particularly concept of them. You have to give some freedom to your citizens but not an excessive freedom so then citizens will take advantage about it and probably rebel. Inside the freedom that you give them, they can do whatever they want about their lives (except be religious and confront violently to the government and the emperor). It isn't a dictatorship, so people can be gay/lesbian without any problem, they can travel where they want of the planet without any permission and do more things with total freedom.
SCIENCE!: As the environment, is very important and it's the cause of the humanity advance
Education: Important, so children have to grow up with good moral ideas, with respect to the neighbor and without any god existing idea. Religious schools are completely illegal.
Industry: Good , productive and clean Pollute and slavery are banned with some jail years.

A horrifically oppressive regime of godless nature-worshippers. These disgusting savages must be destroyed.

--Brother-Scholastic Zachary Lee, Head of the Imperial Skorzenian Diplomatic Corp and Elder of the Steel Fraternity

I'm sorry Zachary but we can't obey a carpenter dressed with a robe... it doesn't exists
The day when Mr. God presents to us we will believe in him, by now it's only a human imagination. Meanwhile we will continue keeping safe the nature... a great thing that exists.. and provides us of knowledge and oxygen Also it's more beautiful than God massacres
And well, as I said we are atheists... we don't "believe" in the nature as a spiritual entity. We just protect it from the destructive human instinct.
Our empire only it's oppressive with traitors and terrorists...

Have a nice day.

[Kaledoria]

Full Nation Name: The Holy Kaledorian Empire
Name: Kaledoria

Stance On:
Republicanism: "Someone elects somebody" - a political philosophy could not be any more vague.
Anarchy: We have a strong anarchistic movement in the capitol (Latest estimation: About 3% being diehart determined on it, over 10% at least somewhat sympathizing.). These individuals do not understand, that this can not be a concept for the whole nation, since there would always be some troublemakers not responsible enough, that would ruin it for everybody else.
Totalitarianism: These "Senates" and "Parliaments" are just a way to give people power without responsibility, that WILL surely leads to abuse. Limited terms of power lead to irresponsible short term decisions. Only Totalitarians with all the powers and all the responsibility can really do what is best for the people.
Capitalism: We adopted it as a response to the necessities of global markets. With limitations, however, as in Kaledoria, Cooperations are no persons. Any action needs one or more live humans legally responsible for it.
Communism: Another good theory, but as said, the necessities of global free markets favor capitalism for now. We do have a communist movement, too, however (minor compared to the anarchists). Their attempts on creating stock companies based on distributed ownership among the workers, however, have shown to be slow to react on market changes and hesitating to take drastic actions, when necessary.
Socialism: The society needs to provide everybody with the opportunity to help themselves. That does not mean more then keeping them alive, however.
Fascism: They have all the goals and measures mixed up. Totalitarianism is not a goal to gather as much as possible but a measure to use as little as possible. Nationalism is a tool to keep the people working together, not a goal to make yourself superior to everyone else. And finally militarism is a proud tradition, not a way to keep the population down.
Monarchy: While we realize, that it simplifies the complex process of succession for the leaders, we don't want to take away our leaders option to choose the one most able for the job as their successor, in favor of an arbitrary hereditary rule.
Abortion: Legal, although lately abortion after the first half of the pregnancy has become quite socially frowned. It's not really necessary either, because our orphanage-system is quite good.
Alcohol: Beer, mead, wine, we have it all. Pure hard alcoholics (40% and up) are quite uncommon, however, as our hedonists like to get drunk on tasty stuff.
Drugs: Again, no restrictions (generally, for minors however, the parents are responsible to keep them save. Minors using drugs, drinking or even running around with firearms, that's a fast way to get your children taken into state custody).
Homosexuality: So what? Not a big deal here. In Adoption process they are considered after traditional couples before single candidates, but simply because they are of the same gender, not because of their sexual preferences.
Death Penalty: Under military law, treason (= something aimed to destabilize the military or the nation) is punishable by death. Former Supreme Leader Mahault executed quite a huge number of people who tried to assassinate him for that reason. Current leader Maraxus even judged that only those trying to kill him as an ideological statement are guilty of treason, anyone trying to assassinate him to get another person into the same position just gets thrown into prison forever. Death penalty was not executed since then.
Militaries:It's the backbone of our society. The compulsory military service does not only keep us save, it also teaches valuable lessons of life and social behavior and offers orientation for the soldier's future, like political career options etc. Connections build in this time often last the whole life.
Gun Control: Our glorious leader believe that based on military standing and former military service the people of Kaledoria are quite responsible to handle guns. Basic weapons and "nonlethal" ammunition are unrestricted (Nonlethal in quotation marks because if you shoot someone down with it and then walk over to him while he is lying on the ground crying in pain and shoot another 5 or 6 rounds into his face or torso, he can quite possibly die, too. ... But then again, you can beat someone to death with a stick, too.)
Religion: We are split into Levantine, Muslim, Christian and atheists (plus some minor groups) and united by the idea that religion as a whole is not such a central topic.
Slavery: While forced labor was used as a criminal punishment and is theoretically still possible through hardly ever used, full and unlimited ownership of a person is straight out.
Expansionism: We are an empire. Some guys expanded into others and a glorious nation was born. Even now, we do have some extraterritorial areas under protection. They don't get fully integrated into the empire however, since our way of living would not suit them. So we just take care of them, until they can stand on their own feet.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity: We are impressed. Putting the power not into the military but the intellectual elite seams to work for you. In economics you should really focus more on supporting small and moderate businesses to prevent your poor/rich spread to worsen even more.
We bow before the might of your military, ground-based dominance reminds us of our own. We would love to test our combat vehicles designed after the rule "the biggest weapon available on the fastest chassis possible" against your super-heavy tanks, as well as some friendly maneuver-games between our respective elite troops (I wonder whether our 9x70mm cartridge with light armor-penetrating capabilities can penetrate your power armor).
Racial Superiority: The concept of race is difficult for us to understand. We do however believe, that humans are the superior species, no matter what those grizzly/ant-hugging hippies thing.
The Environment: The environment is robuster then most people fear and our economical boom is more fragile then most people want to know, so until recently the later had preference. Lately our industry has realized that there is profit to be made in recycling and alternate sources of energy, so we slowly start to become a little more environmental-friendly, but there is still a long way to go.

And now the part where you really should have explained, how you mean it.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights: Security from physical harm, property, freedom?
Universal Human Rights: We value freedom the highest. We don't even include elections, however, as those popularity-games help no one. Likewise, if you want to administrate people, you should show your competence by working your way up the military (administration) hierarchy, not by making promises and looking friendly in election-advertising.
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms: Liberty, the right to do whatever the fuck you want!!!!!! (as long as it does not harm the health, property or liberty of another person)
Universal Individual Freedom: As said, we value it highly. Among the highest ranking aspects is self expression, thus the dirty overcrowded avatar of Moloch we call our capitol is worth a visit if only to be impressed by the street art and fashion.
SCIENCE!: Of course! good scientists are in high demand in our nation, it's one of the best financed focuses of our higher education. It's just that somehow it's not that popular as a choice of career in the more rural areas, we need to improve there.
Education: The best investment into the future.
Industry: The engine of our economical boom. Farming was important in medieval times and services bring your economy only to a barely surviving level. Industry is the key factor.

Oh no, not another one of you who truly think no leader or authority means chaos. Scew you, I'm going back.
-Some nosy citizen

You don't even have public law enforcement, according to your Factbook. The only piece of legislation your government ever managed to pass wasn't even really a law, but a general statement of rights.

You are, quite literally, a lawless nation.

--Brother Scholastic Zachary Lee, Head of the Imperial Skorzenian Diplomatic Corp and Elder of the Steel Fraternity

You didn't see the factbook properly, didn't you? We have mentioned that no authority exists in the nation, but we did not say we have no form of rule whatsoever. Plz do not confuse the term anarchy.

-Same guy

[Wolny Kraj]

How are we oppressive or antidemocratic? We have a house of representatives with at leat ten parties, but the people have elected the communists because they are extremely well educated. We do not oppress our people, and I challenge you to find an example of "oppression"

Communism: Good idea, but never works out
Socialism: Nice middle ground, allows for private business, and allows for government protection of the consumer
Fascism: Bad, Hitler anyone?
Monarchy: Old outdated way of government
Abortion: Should be legal, but only within the first 3 months of pregnancy, or until it is looking like a human. (not a bunch of cells)

Universal Human Rights: of course, it is the way to go
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms: Being able to choose what you want, not having the gov telling you what to do, with laws excluded
Universal Individual Freedom: Need them
SCIENCE!: AWESOME!
Education: Important
Industry: Important

Anarchy does not exist. It is a pipe dream. You might call any lawless system anarchy as long as the people with the most thugs remain relatively civil, but the fact remains that you are a lawless nation run by a patchwork of private warlords.

How are we oppressive or antidemocratic? We have a house of representatives with at leat ten parties, but the people have elected the communists because they are extremely well educated. We do not oppress our people, and I challenge you to find an example of "oppression"

That is simultaneously the most blatant lie and worst oxymoron I have ver come across. As for "oppression," you deny your people the basic right to private property.

Well yes, we can outlaw scientologists since they have no evidence for their scam and they claim to help people while scamming them and using underhanded tactics. We can't outlaw Christianity , due to the overwhelming lack of evidence against the existence of Jesus, and it is not hypocritical. We can't outlaw creationism since it also carries no hypocrisy. We don't outlaw if it is hypocritical to one of the many political parties of Songnam; it has to be hypocritical overall. The actions taken by it's followers, whether ethical or not, are their actions, not the religion's.
