Inkopolitia's (inter)national Q&A: For the Humans!

[Inkopolitia]

"Let me see if this thing working right... Yes, it is!"


"Hello, Humans! As you may already know, i'm Queen Surume of Inkopolitia! Leader of this country. I was yesterday eating some waffles and thought "Hey! What if I make the Humans ask me questions and I answer those questions?! And so now here we are."

"Hey guys! I'm Jacket! Surume's wife and also Queen of Inkopolitia, alongside her! So, this is fairly simple. You all asks us questions, and we'll respond those questions from our perspective. Come on, shoot us up the questions!"

"Did you just assume my species? *chuckles* Don't worry, it's alright. Ah yes, I was going to ask you this: what is the average lifespan for the average inkling?"

"My teachers told me in school about a lie that sun-drying your skin made you live longer, and it does not. It actually gives you cancer! Either way, we Squids tend to live up to,,, like... uh...

The President of North Johen Ezermard raised his hand and asked, "In general, how much do Inklings know about their so-called rivals, the Octarians?"

[Inkopolitia]

The President of North Johen Ezermard raised his hand and asked, "In general, how much do Inklings know about their so-called rivals, the Octarians?"

"Well, you see, the Octarians engaged in conflicts with Inklings a long time ago, when Inkopolitia was recovering from the Inkling Civil War. It's a cheap move to attack another nation ahen they're recovering from a war, but either way, the Inklings won in the end. But, approximately 4 years ago, the Octarians tried to rise and rebel against us, even if we did nothing wrong to them and let them be. That was the last straw, and we took over their underground domes and are now watching them closely so they do nothing wrong again. Although, they have been showing weird signs, so I don't know what'll happen next... I wish I could read the future."

"To add on what Surume said, the Octarians were living under a dictatorship which used brainwashing technology to try and get their people to align with them. So, we liberated them. Fun fact, my wife raided more than 23 Octarian bases by herself! Do you remember that?"

"Yeah. I let go the ones that were peaceful, but others... had to be dealt with.

'Have you ever thought of maybe opening up an embassy programme?'

"Yeah, we have. Although we don't know if we will."

"It's slightly risky and complicated to do so, and our Government needs to focus on other matters, such as protecting the integrity of Inklings nationwide this National Assembly election season."

"Well, uhhh, can you help us defeat the Dark Order of the Tesseract? They took all the relics of this land and assassinated 50% of my family and my crush's family, aka the Government... I want to revive them using those relics, but as long as they exist, we can't help but wish that the they would come out from the Underspace.."

~ Generalissimo Erik Hammyrst

[First American Empire]

"What exactly are Turf Wars? There are a few Inkling-American citizens who are requesting a permit to hold one in our city, and we want to ensure that they aren't a danger to the citizens before approving it.

Also, do you have any messages for the Inkling expat community in our country? We're sure they'd love to hear from you."

"That's a charged question. Mostly, we like to keep to ourselves when it comes to military matters unless our interests are damaged by a foreign force. However, we'll give advice to any willing people who want to volunteer to help you."

"Yeah, I agree. Even if we can't help you, we wish you the best of luck."

"Well, to be honest, i'm not into Turf Wars. To be quick and short, Turf Wars are a series of 4-mintue matches where both teams try to claim the most turf as possible. It's generally safe, as long as special ink tanks to purify the ink are used.

"We do not have any specific messages towards them, but we want them to remember that Inkopolitia supports Inklings worldwide, you guys are making Inkling culture flourish all around the world. Keep going strong!"

"Turf Wars are a series of ten 4-minute matches where two teams of four duke it out with a variety of weapons to see who can claim the most turf. Turf War is an essential part of Inkling culture, so Inklings that participate in the sport are given special ink tanks so spectators can see the games without getting harmed by the normal nature of Inkling ink."

"You guys, remember that no matter where you are, we appreciate each and every single one of you, and we hope that you're living a good life with the Americans. Remember that you all are welcome back here!"

"Does every Inkling in Inkopolitia participate in these "turf wars" as you call it; like when they turn a certain age, does the government draft them, provide them a shooter and send them out in the arena to battle other leagues for glory? In a more condensed version, are turf wars mandatory; and if so what are the consequences for refusing to participate?"

"No, not at all. Turf Wars are a recreational sport just like Soccer or Basketball, but almot every Inkling is caught up on it."

"As Surume said, nah, I don't think so. Though Turf War is kind of used in thr military as a way to train and fight for territory."

Two questions. First what is your stance on humans immigrating to Inkopolitia. Second do you consider the eastern part of The Guianas to be part of your nation.

First Lord of Foreign Affairs Joseph de Vara

[Inkopolitia]

"Hmm. For the first question, the Government values Humans and Inklings, although there are... Incidents of Inklings disliking humans because Inklings abroad are getting mistreated. Needless to say, we are working on cultivating an atmosphere of peace between the two races. For the second one, the eastern part, if you're referring to the territories that Humans call Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, is already integrated in Inkopolitia, although split between different states."

"We appreciate everyone here, no matter if they are Inklings or Humans! We are, as my wife said, working hard on making an atmosphere of peace, in these current turbulent times. All of the Guianas are a part of our nation already, as well."

hey good to see you doing something like this

so two questions which do you think is worse communism, or fascism, and would you be all too mad if i copied this idea

[Inkopolitia]

"Hmm. Both are equally despicable ideologies, to be honest. And no, go wild with this idea if you want!

"I mean, both are pretty bad, but if I had to pick, it'd be Communism. That's one hell of a failure of a political and economical system! And yeah, go make your own Q&A if ya want."

"That's an... Interesting, kind of odd and frankly, creepy question, but to be honest, I don't know. You studied medicine, right, babe?"

"Yeah! I did. Either way, since Inkling skin is just kind of solidified ink, the only true weakness of Inkling skin is when it comes into contact with ink of a different color, but that's another story. Either way, in the skin department, the skin is pierced by the bullet similarly to a human if were shot. When the bullet passes through Inkling skin, the bullet can pass through the bones and Inkling body, since Inkling bones are actuslly cartilage, not the calcium-filled more solid bones than Humans have."

Hi! Your species seems quite unique, and you mention humans being able to move to your territory. From this, we have a few questions:

Are you Inklings able to move around on land, and if so, do you need special equipment to do so?

Does your territory include dry land, or just the seas around it?

Finally...have you ever heard of us?

*You hear some mumbling in the background, followed by a somewhat-grumpy "okay."*
*The speaker's attention turns back to you*

One more question. Do you have any crude oil?
