Condemn or Commend?

[New Othman]

Commend, we lol'd

In the Adrian Empire, previous to 2060, 93% of all the Empire's power came from nuclear sources, followed by Solar Cell Augmented Buildings.

Commend, go green or go home.

In Doraland, which is otherwise sexually more permissive, divorce is illegal.

Theoretically, we condemn, but as Doraland is one of our allies, we will look the other way and accept their Catholic ways.

New Othman now possesses both the cobalt and neutron bombs. We will not be subject to anyone's nuclear blackmail.

[JJ Place]

Condemn. To prosper in the global economy you need to have a mix of both capitalism and socialism, even a bit more of the former than the latter in fact.

Conscription has been constitutionally outlawed in Greater Rhodes.

EDIT: Ninja'd, condemn Adrian Empire for not having any public land that is free for all to enjoy.

Condemn, as it may impair national defense in emergency situations.

Crap, ninja'd by JJ. Commend, because free trade is good; it's got free in the name, after all!

It's all good; I seem to get Ninjaed about ever other post on threads such as this one; I suppose Ninjas just follow me around.

And Hooray!



Doraland: Condemn, divorce is the only correct option in some situations; some people just don't belong together, and some people don't belong with anyone at all.


See, Ninjaed? I actually am writing this after the last paragraph of the post about, JJ Place.

New Othman: Un-sure; nuclear weapons possession is absolutely fine; however, we're not entirely sure of the particulars for this nuclear weapons system, and the extensively details of this particular issue.


In JJ Place, the tenet of freedom of speech is held as one of the most if not the most important aspect in society; all forms of freedom of speech are extensively respected by the legal code of JJ Place.

[Mediterreania]

COMMEND. YES.

Corporations are regularly looted if they come to Mediterreania without "protection."

[JJ Place]

Mediterreania: Condemn; Mafia Rule is very very bad.






In JJ Place, most major inter-net sites are sentient.

[Valiquette]

In JJ Place, most major inter-net sites are sentient.

Commend, and we hope you give them full rights.

Due to the enormous quantity of imperialistic, hostile states in the world, Valiquette is now considering a National service system, requiring local males as young as sixteen years of age to report for training and introductory service.

[Malacanos]

Condemn. A professional army assisted by a national militia is better. All Malacanian men are part of the militia, but no one is forced to fight.

The Autocrator just emancipated all slaves and outlawed slavery forever. Since slavery is increasingly rare, this wasn't a difficult or unpopular act. All masters will be compensated for the manumission of their slaves.

[The Adrian Empire]

Commend, though the Empire does retain a slavery, it is mostly for lack of a better use of hostile alien species.

As a way of securing revenue the Empire charges a fee on all imports and exports entering and leaving the nation, basically considered a surcharge for their safe protection, this fee can be waived by having armed escorts if it is economical to do so.

[Hiijaric Monarchy]

Condemn. Protectionism leads to stagnation. Free trade is the only proper method of international trade.

The modern day (2010) Principality of Galla has used the same rifle round (6.5x50mm Gallan) and pistol cartridge (4.6x35mm Gallan) for roughly 80 years. The former is used in the current M7 line of assault rifles, and the latter is used in the M10 Personal Defence Weapon, a scaled-down version of the M7

Condemn. Stagnation means that when you engage an enemy you will be slaughtered because you never evolved your weaponry.


The IIRK is seriously considering moving most of its Milky Way holdings to the Triangulum Galaxy due to an unfortunate war we've found ourselves stuck in.

Not protectionism, we charge fees, those fees are equal among all nations and must be paid by all in and out-going vessels, we are very much pro-free trade, these are not tariffs.

Condemn, it is good to be well equipped.

Condemn, don't run call your allies! We might be able to help.

All citizens in the Adrian Empire are encouraged not only to own a weapon, but to carry it on their person.

[Hiijaric Monarchy]

In actuality, the reason that the Gallan nation has never changed it's weapon calibre is because the 6.5x50mm offers ridiculous armour penetration and stopping power, for a small amount of recoil. There is also the fact that the 4.6x35mm is just a necked down .22 Hornet that was introduced in 1938, and now competes with newer PDW cartridges, most notably the 4.6x30mm H&K.

@Krean: Indifferent. The Gallan people have no knowledge of any wars within the Milky Way Galaxy, nor do the affairs of far-away alien races concern them.

@Adrian: Commend. Firearms and ownership is an important part of national security.

The Principality of Galla has yet to be involved in any serious overseas wars, although it's military retains a definite naval force projection capability in the form of three Canberra-class LHDs and one Invincible-class aircraft carrier.

[Valiquette]

Commend. Preparedness is a good thing.

Commend. Empower the righteous.

Monarchs of Valiquette may assume the throne as young as thirteen years of age, though they must be assisted by a Council of State until they have reached seventeen years.

[Senestrum]

@Adrian: Condemn, it restricts free speech through a culture of fear.
@Valiquette: Condemn, you have a monarchy.
@Hijark: Commend, security is generaly a nice thing to have.

Senestrum is planning the launch of a 100-meter space based telescope, which will be launched in an Orion-drive spacecraft propelled to orbit atop prodigious numbers of nuclear detonations.

[JJ Place]

In JJ Place, most major inter-net sites are sentient.

Commend, and we hope you give them full rights.

We don't exactly 'give' them rights, so much as respect their rights for being sentient; they live peacefully within our society and our a major benefit to our planets, and they're great for help in warefare !



Hiijaric Monarchy: Not sure; I'm not quite certain the paticulars of the wars.

My old friend Ninjaed is back!


Valiquette: Condemn, No one should be ascending to the throne in the first place; nothing against a young person being in power vereses an older person, age does not necessarily indicate potential success.



Senestrum: Commend, this is a fantastic advance to Senestrum that might lead to further exploration of the vast Cosmos!

In JJ Place, borders are completely open to all immigrants, and millions immigrate to JJ Place annually from across the Cosmos.

[The Adrian Empire]

Commend, people should be free to travel as they please, who was it that said that when people/commodities flow through borders, Soldiers won't.

@ Senestrum, I highly disagree, people are more inclined to speak their minds when they do not need to fear the threats of others, a firearm is an equalizer in this situation, so long as you have a gun you have no need to fear anyone else who has one. A protester has nothing to fear from a heckler, for he can defend himself if necessary, both are free to say as they will because neither has power over the other. Even if you don't have a weapon you can always count on the armed virtuous to defend you from those who would restrict your rights to speak freely.

The Adrian Empire bans the use of nuclear weapons on population centres, as a matter of domestic policy.

[Valiquette]

Condemn. Keep your options open, damn it!

Valiquette has recently organized an all-female submarine crew.

[The Adrian Empire]

Condemn, for ruining the hilarious dirty joke concerning the shape of submarine and their all male crews

A Large Percentage of the Adrian Empire is made up of Sapient Aliens, who hold the same rights as Humans, provided they have earned their citizenship.

[Senestrum]

@ Valiquette: Commend, gender equality is pretty cool.

@ Adrian: A gun isn't going to help much if you don't have it drawn and aimed first, so you will always be at a disadvantage to someone who draws on you. Also, you're probably overestimating the likelihood of people getting involved in a gunfight, so...

An armed society is a polite society, not necessarily a good one.

Oh, and I'm really really neutral about alien equality.

[Greater Rhodes]

indifferent, we don't have aliens here.

Greater Rhodes is changing its immigration policy to be more open, while also to increase its enticing of intellectuals and learned people of the world.

[Valiquette]

Condemn, for ruining the hilarious dirty joke concerning the shape of submarine and their all male crews

Is that the only objection?

@ Valiquette: Commend, gender equality is pretty cool.

We agree.

Greater Rhodes is changing its immigration policy to be more open, while also to increase its enticing of intellectuals and learned people of the world.

Commend. Nothing wrong with that.

Valiquette has recently opened immigration queues to sentient non-humans.

[The Adrian Empire]

@Senestrum, I feel it's you who is overestimating the likelihood people would get into gun fights, naturally knowing anyone you are going to pull a gun on is likely to be armed is reason enough to never do it. So there is really little risk of people being worried about free speech, they are armed so are their detractors, fighting would be dangerous to both sides, so the best alternative is reasonable discussion, which should be the goal of any act of free speech.

@Valiqutte, yes that is our only objection, we quite like gender equality, most Imperial Starships not only have both genders represented but a myriad of alien species

Commend, the Empire has many alien residents who applaud such a motion

In the Adrian Empire, people are taught basic economics in grade school

[Kreanoltha]

In the Adrian Empire, people are taught basic economics in grade school

Commend. Here it is offered as an elective.


We have planes to expand beyond the Local Cluster of galaxies within the next two hundred years.

[Vortiaganica]

Condemn, planes don't fly far in space . Lol, sorry, it just had to be said.

But, I wouldn't set my sights so far without proper preparations.

Our dictator has a 1 million strong bodyguard.

[Senestrum]

@ Adrian: And what if people want to be unreasonable? Eh? If I want to tell someone he's a backstabbing communist nigger fag, I shouldn't have to worry about him shooting me in the gut. A bit extreme, but it extends to any situation where somebody may be told something they do not like. Besides, if everybody is going to magically be reasonable, the gun is utterly superfluous, except, perhaps, as a phallic male icon.

Commend, by the way, assuming it's like, real economics and not one of the schools that rejects empiricism *cough*.

@ Kreanoltha: Condemn, there's no way you'll have exhausted the possibilities for colonization inside the local group.

@ Vortiaganica: Condemn, having such a large security force will be counterproductive.

In Senestrum, the optics industry account for a significant portion of the GDP.

[Kreanoltha]

In Senestrum, the optics industry account for a significant portion of the GDP.

Indifferent. It's a big field. Also we may run out of colonization opportunities faster then you'd think, especially considering that we share the local cluster with other nations. It never hurts to open more opportunity.


In the IIRK most planets hire private military organizations to provide around the clock protection.
