Commend guns solve everything.

The prison system in Des-Bal is officially producing more money via manual labor than it requires to operate. Over the next months the industry will be privatized.

Not really, but there was this fad for a short while where punks would call Emergency Services, and then take shots at the ambulance crews. At first the local Police Departments began sending more escorts with ambulances, but in some States the local legislatures have voted to just let them carry guns, to ease the pressure on law enforcement.

Condemn. Some things really should stay in the public sector, my friends.

President David Tweed has announced he still does not intend to seek a new term in office, despite the looming threat of military conflict with Communist forces.

Condemn, abdication of post by government official is treasonous.Condemn also the concept of terms, these arbitrary limits force elected officials to serve the wants of the citizens rather than the needs.

Commend, keeps a military mindset.

The First house has ruled that it is the right of the citizen to own and maintain for defensive purposes armored vehicles including MBTs and armed helicopters.

Your laws do not apply everywhere, and by our law if the President does not wish to seek a fresh election, that is his business.

Commend, by the way, so long as they are responsible about it all.

It has been rumored that President Tweed may be sponsoring the enaction of limited conscription as a sort of "last act" of his Presidency.

Commend, such a practice will eliminate Sloths.

In Laosia, all Criminals are rehabilitated, however, those who cannot be rehabilitated, such as Traitors and those that prey on the weak, are executed, and buried, this is a 'spit on your grave' type of technique, as in ancient Laosia, only the righteous were permitted to be cremated, as their spirit would fly freely from their body. Even though Laosia is now almost totally Atheist, this practice is continued.

Commend and condemn. We commend the attitude and policy of rehabilitating criminals so that they can become functional members of society once more. This is laudable and should always be encouraged. We do, however, condemn the practice of executing criminals, a practice we find cruel, hypocritical and barbaric.

In the Keronian Empire, the President must immediately call for presidential elections and request the permission of the Emperor's Consul to dissolve Parliament (although this is simply customary, the President exercises full administrative and legislative powers and does not de jure require permission to dissolve Parliament) and call for parliamentary and presidential elections should his approval rating fall below 33% at any time during his time in office. He is, of course, allowed to run in the elections.

Commend. If the people don#t like how the current president does his job, they should have the right to elect a new one.

The Genomitan defense force consists entirely of professional soldiers, and the only way to join the defense force is to volunteer.

Commend, having the respect of the soldiers serving under you is important. Also, this practice should keep incompetent would-be officers from gaining too much influence.

Genomitan officers are taught to respect the rules of war at all times and conduct themselves in a polite and honorable manner.

Limbaugh Island is currently preparing to deploy armed troops to Allanean soil, somewhere in Greater Prussia in response to a threatened Communist attack.

Condemn x100. Capitalist bastard. ;)

The Apollonian government has been cracking down on religious hate crimes in recent years. The government's official stance regarding the various faiths present in the country is 100% tolerance.

Unfortunately, citizens who are not Orthodox Christian or Jewish are still sometimes persecuted and discriminated against (mostly Protestants).

Indifferent. Like we really care what you do to various groups in your nation. So long as our people are safe, we don't have an opinion.


In the Hathradic States, the government (mostly the Freedom Party) has begun cracking down on Muslim and Jewish terrorist in the Bundesrepublik (our eastern states + Germany) due to increasing violence between the two religious groups. This has been done, of course, using the Freedom Party Sturmabteilung.

Commend cracking down on terrorism. Condemn party thuggery.

Limbaugh Island's maritime military forces, the Navy and Coast Guard, engage in a skirmish with environmental protest vessels roughly once every ten days in US waters. Not all ships involved in battles of this nature are Island-flagged.

According to military law, it is illegal for a solider to surrender: a act of surrender is considered as deserting and is punished accordingly. A solider is expected to inflict greatest damage on enemy at any cost if solider is in position of certain death.

And since just "condemn" was sooo insightful, I am going to repost same one:-
