Excellent Quotes:

Violan wrote: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.


Given that the nominal government of Violan appears to have a complete lack of authority over the city-states that compose it, and they themselves are of wildly divergent policies and values, I feel it is not even possible to really consider Violan a nation. Rather, it seems to be a loose confederation of independent polities, which themselves range from worthless Communists to decent, upstanding democratic city-states.

We believe a woman should have every right to choose. She should be able to choose to use contraception, she should be able to choose who to have sexual relations with, she should be allowed to choose whether to give the baby for adoption after it is born. She does not, and cannot in any civilized country, have the right to murder her own child simply because it is out of sight and therefore, to the ignorant and thoughtless, not yet a recognizable person.

Actually, Violan doesn't really have a nominal government--I fear I may have confused you on that part. The commonly accepted libertarian law code is a lot like the Xeer of Somalia and the lex mercatoria: a polycentric legal system without a monopolistic institution that determines interpretation. The covenants operate under slightly different systems amongst each other, but the overall law code holds when they deal with those outside their covenant.

What about women living in countries where the orphanages are as bad or even worse than living on the street ? Take past romania for example. Nicolae Ceauşescu made abortion illegal to create a workforce for his country. Instead he created a nation where many parents were too poor to care for their children, so many children ended up in state-run orphanages where conditions where so bad many of these children died in these orphanages. All because some crazy dictator outlawed abortion.

Postby The Merchant Republics » Mon Dec 13, 2010 1:50 pm

Full Nation Name: The Most Serene Confederation of the Celestial Union & Merchant Republics
Name: The Celestial Union and Merchant Republics

Stance On:
Republicanism:
The most acceptable form of state authority is that of the collective rule of a republic. Mob rule is always a threat however.
Anarchy:
To often collapses in the power vacuum, voluntary organizations are superior and more capable of protecting the individual and his freedoms.
Totalitarianism:
Totalitarianism is the plain enemy of liberty and individual freedom to be fought where-ever it lives.
Capitalism:
Capitalism is the only sure method of liberating the individual, the only means of his freedom and independence and the only means through which a nation can prosper in freedom. Capitalism is the lifeblood of civilization and the vanguard of all progress of humanity.
Communism:
Communism and other such collectivist political economy schemes represent a vile threat to the prosperity, health and safety of a free nation and it's individual members.
Socialism:
Socialism of the Free Market variety is to be appreciated, however it's rejection of private-held property ultimately condemns it to stagnation.
Fascism:
Fascism is a repulsive philosophy with no redeeming traits, statism at it's worst is fascism. Like totalitarianism to be rejected at every place it is found.
Monarchy:
Monarchy, when constitutionally limited poses no real harm to a free nation, indeed it can prevent many hostile elements of mob rule, however the notion of hierarchy and of being subject to a single ruler should not be considered ideal.
Abortion:
A hotly discussed issue, at the time the national stance is that abortion represents a violation of the right of a foetus to live so long as it does not harm another.
Alcohol:
Alcohol is completely unregulated and legal throughout the Republics, however cultural mores concerning alcohol mean that most citizen are only temperate drinkers, preferring to retain the ability of rational deliberation which is so cherished in our culture.
Drugs:
Much the same as alcohol, drugs are legal and unregulated in most Republics, however cultural values among the Mercator mean that actual consumption of drugs particularly those which inhibit reasoning faculties is almost nil.
Homosexuality:
Every resident of the Celestial Union is free to live as they wish, with whomever they wish, in marriage and civil partnership homosexuals receive the same treatment as heterosexuals.
Death Penalty:
Rarely used, but legal for repeat offenders and particularly heinous crimes, the Republic prefers restorative justice however.
Militaries:
The Voluntary States and Republics of the Celestial Union are primarily responsible for their defence, the Celestial Armed Forces concerning itself with aggressive campaigns and quick response to defensive threats through out the Confederation. Militias made of everyday people are both legal and encouraged, many function as social organizations.
Gun Control:
The Constitution bars the prohibition of firearms (along with all other objects) and expressly states the Right of a person to defend themselves and their property with deadly force, as such no Republic is allowed to ban the sale or ownership of any weapons, most Mercantilians own at least one firearm, many own other weaponry up to and including warships and nuclear weapons, at least 23% carry a weapon on them daily.
Religion:
The majority of the population of the Celestial Union holds some religious belief a large amount consider themselves "devout" however outside of personal philosophy, most Celestials agree that religion has no place in government and support a secular state which allows the individual to practice their own faith and philosophy.
Slavery:
With noted exception to the practice of Indentured Servitude in order to pay off debts accrued (specifically for harm to the victim or his property), the Republics throughly reject the notion of slave ownership, and condemn it's use near universally. No person should be made to work against his will, except to make compensation to the harm they have done to another.
Expansionism:
The Celestial Union is in a state of constant expansion, by a rate of at least one new colony a month, with new planets colonized at least once per two years.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity:
The Republics have not had a great deal of relations with the Skorzenian Empire or Steel Fraternity, however from our understanding they are a very respectable and civilized nation, for which the Republic can rightly admire, though we do not agree with everything, we find ourselves in commendation of you far more the the opposite.
Racial Superiority:
The Celestial Union comprises 9+ different species of Intelligent life, the idea that the Human sub-species have anything at all different between them in comparison to the other races of Xenos is laughable, racism is unheard of. However cultural discrimination does exist, with the Mercantilian and Orinean Cultures both considering themselves vastly superior to the common rabble of the universe, this has nothing to do with species and everything to do with our very proud culture of individual rights.
The Environment:
The environment of the Celestial Union is indescribably diverse and vast, through property rights a great deal of the natural environment is protected and thrives without impeding the natural progression of our intelligent species and colonization, nor unnecessarily deny our use of natural resources and animal life. Outside of our mega-cities and colonies, great swaths of the Republics are heavily forested and provide massive bastions of nature and natural life.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights:
Human rights are a man-made construct, therefore we cannot make one single statement concerning what is and isn't a human right, however we can say that it is widely believed that every person has the right to self-determination of himself and his property as well as the right to defend it.
Universal Human Rights:
We widely reject the notion of human rights as collectivist drivel, man and kind does not have a right to anything but their own freedom, a right they have because freedom is the only thing which exists objectively outside the confines of society. While we support human rights and support states protecting their people we find too often the banner of human rights is lifted high on the banner of theft, violence, slavery and coercion to maintain such false rights as "The Right to A Home","To Food/Water", "To A Job" or"To a Living Wage", ultimately these false rights are demanding "To Be Free of Reality", we thus do not condone them.
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms:
Every individual has the freedom to live, think and say as they choose, so long as their actions bring no harm to any other person in direct consequence. Every voluntary association and act is thus a basic freedom, as is the freedom to say whatever one pleases. A person ultimately must have the freedom to live his life as he chooses, with whomever he chooses, doing what so ever he chooses so long as it harms no one else.
Universal Individual Freedom:
The Republics are first and foremost supporters of individual human freedom, and seek to establish the reign of individual liberty across the Universe.
SCIENCE!:
Science is the process by which the objective reality is sought by man of reason, it is therefore to be lauded at every opportunity, never to be censored in the name of protecting sensibilities, for one cannot fake reality. Science finds no greater ally then in the Capitalist system of the Merchant Republics.
Education:
Education is a choice, ultimately, and no amount of coercion can make children learn, however the value of education can not ever be said to be anything less then one of the most necessary elements of a free populace, a cultured civilization and a truly powerful economy, thus education in theories both practical and theoretical are held in the highest regard.
Industry:
Industry is the means in which men bring the objects of their minds into reality, it is creation beautiful and simple, and without that creation and production and innovation, a nation has nothing, industry is the most important element of a prosperous, cultured and civilized society. The Industrialist, like the Scientist is a man of reason, to be celebrated with the highest esteem possible.

Full Nation Name: Armed republic of New Tesslandia
Name: Tesslandia

Stance On:
Republicanism: The best system we've come up with so far
Anarchy: strongly against, Chaos breeds evil
Totalitarianism: Strongly against. While In theory not all that bad. However, in practice power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Capitalism: It works better than anything else in our experience.
Communism: Strongly against, leads to Totalitarianism in practice.
Socialism: See "Communism"
Fascism: See "Communism"
Monarchy: As long as they remain purely a ceremonial body only we don't care.
Abortion: Strongly against.
Alcohol: As long as it doesn't affect your ability to fight, we don't care
Drugs: Highly illegal. We as a people look poorly an dependence upon anything but your teammates.
Homosexuality: An issue we've never faced.
Death Penalty: Used when warranted (treason, murder, rape, ect.)
Militaries: Our entire nation is technically a military (almost all are reserves though)
Gun Control: After basic training, your Battle Rifle is now yours. Citizens are allowed (and even expected) to deal with intruders with their weapons.
Religion: Without it nations will fall. However, the Tesslandian Government does not enforce a particular religion.
Slavery: Strongly against, Machines do the job better, and even if they didn't, the ever present threat of a slave revolt is to much for our people to consider it a good idea.
Expansionism: Depends on the case. In general against it can very easily go wrong, leaving the invades with a very long and costly war. We prefer to colonize unclaimed land and planets, reduces the need to deal with those pesky guerillas.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity: No real interaction, but a awe-inspiring military powerhouse and potential trade partner.
Racial Superiority: We see no evidence of it. We're a very merit based nation anyway.
The Environment: Sustainability is critical for maximum exploitation, but if the choice is between civil or military need and tree hugging, we go civil all the way.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights: The right to live without fear of victimization, annihilation.
Universal Human Rights: see above. As long as you don't go below that level we're cool. But, dip below and we react poorly.
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms: The freedom to be judged solely by your own merit
Universal Individual Freedom: see above. If rights are not sufficiently upheld, we tend to react poorly, enforced trade sanctions and the like.
SCIENCE!: What sets us apart from rats and rocks.
Education: Of utmost importance. One scientist can cause more destruction then a hundred tanks.
Industry: Again, what sets us apart from base animals. Our industry is designed with sustainability and safety in mind as long as it doesn’t affect long-term productivity.
Train hard fight easy. Train easy fight hard... and die like a dog.

The Merchant Republics wrote:Full Nation Name: The Most Serene Confederation of the Celestial Union & Merchant Republics
Name: The Celestial Union and Merchant Republics
Stance On:
Republicanism:
The most acceptable form of state authority is that of the collective rule of a republic. Mob rule is always a threat however.
Anarchy:
To often collapses in the power vacuum, voluntary organizations are superior and more capable of protecting the individual and his freedoms.
Totalitarianism:
Totalitarianism is the plain enemy of liberty and individual freedom to be fought where-ever it lives.
Capitalism:
Capitalism is the only sure method of liberating the individual, the only means of his freedom and independence and the only means through which a nation can prosper in freedom. Capitalism is the lifeblood of civilization and the vanguard of all progress of humanity.
Communism:
Communism and other such collectivist political economy schemes represent a vile threat to the prosperity, health and safety of a free nation and it's individual members.
Socialism:
Socialism of the Free Market variety is to be appreciated, however it's rejection of private-held property ultimately condemns it to stagnation.
Fascism:
Fascism is a repulsive philosophy with no redeeming traits, statism at it's worst is fascism. Like totalitarianism to be rejected at every place it is found.
Monarchy:
Monarchy, when constitutionally limited poses no real harm to a free nation, indeed it can prevent many hostile elements of mob rule, however the notion of hierarchy and of being subject to a single ruler should not be considered ideal.
Abortion:
A hotly discussed issue, at the time the national stance is that abortion represents a violation of the right of a foetus to live so long as it does not harm another.
Alcohol:
Alcohol is completely unregulated and legal throughout the Republics, however cultural mores concerning alcohol mean that most citizen are only temperate drinkers, preferring to retain the ability of rational deliberation which is so cherished in our culture.
Drugs:
Much the same as alcohol, drugs are legal and unregulated in most Republics, however cultural values among the Mercator mean that actual consumption of drugs particularly those which inhibit reasoning faculties is almost nil.
Homosexuality:
Every resident of the Celestial Union is free to live as they wish, with whomever they wish, in marriage and civil partnership homosexuals receive the same treatment as heterosexuals.
Death Penalty:
Rarely used, but legal for repeat offenders and particularly heinous crimes, the Republic prefers restorative justice however.
Militaries:
The Voluntary States and Republics of the Celestial Union are primarily responsible for their defence, the Celestial Armed Forces concerning itself with aggressive campaigns and quick response to defensive threats through out the Confederation. Militias made of everyday people are both legal and encouraged, many function as social organizations.
Gun Control:
The Constitution bars the prohibition of firearms (along with all other objects) and expressly states the Right of a person to defend themselves and their property with deadly force, as such no Republic is allowed to ban the sale or ownership of any weapons, most Mercantilians own at least one firearm, many own other weaponry up to and including warships and nuclear weapons, at least 23% carry a weapon on them daily.
Religion:
The majority of the population of the Celestial Union holds some religious belief a large amount consider themselves "devout" however outside of personal philosophy, most Celestials agree that religion has no place in government and support a secular state which allows the individual to practice their own faith and philosophy.
Slavery:
With noted exception to the practice of Indentured Servitude in order to pay off debts accrued (specifically for harm to the victim or his property), the Republics throughly reject the notion of slave ownership, and condemn it's use near universally. No person should be made to work against his will, except to make compensation to the harm they have done to another.
Expansionism:
The Celestial Union is in a state of constant expansion, by a rate of at least one new colony a month, with new planets colonized at least once per two years.
The Skorzenian Empire and the Steel Fraternity:
The Republics have not had a great deal of relations with the Skorzenian Empire or Steel Fraternity, however from our understanding they are a very respectable and civilized nation, for which the Republic can rightly admire, though we do not agree with everything, we find ourselves in commendation of you far more the the opposite.
Racial Superiority:
The Celestial Union comprises 9+ different species of Intelligent life, the idea that the Human sub-species have anything at all different between them in comparison to the other races of Xenos is laughable, racism is unheard of. However cultural discrimination does exist, with the Mercantilian and Orinean Cultures both considering themselves vastly superior to the common rabble of the universe, this has nothing to do with species and everything to do with our very proud culture of individual rights.
The Environment:
The environment of the Celestial Union is indescribably diverse and vast, through property rights a great deal of the natural environment is protected and thrives without impeding the natural progression of our intelligent species and colonization, nor unnecessarily deny our use of natural resources and animal life. Outside of our mega-cities and colonies, great swaths of the Republics are heavily forested and provide massive bastions of nature and natural life.
What Constitutes Basic Human Rights:
Human rights are a man-made construct, therefore we cannot make one single statement concerning what is and isn't a human right, however we can say that it is widely believed that every person has the right to self-determination of himself and his property as well as the right to defend it.
Universal Human Rights:
We widely reject the notion of human rights as collectivist drivel, man and kind does not have a right to anything but their own freedom, a right they have because freedom is the only thing which exists objectively outside the confines of society. While we support human rights and support states protecting their people we find too often the banner of human rights is lifted high on the banner of theft, violence, slavery and coercion to maintain such false rights as "The Right to A Home","To Food/Water", "To A Job" or"To a Living Wage", ultimately these false rights are demanding "To Be Free of Reality", we thus do not condone them.
What Constitutes Basic Individual Freedoms:
Every individual has the freedom to live, think and say as they choose, so long as their actions bring no harm to any other person in direct consequence. Every voluntary association and act is thus a basic freedom, as is the freedom to say whatever one pleases. A person ultimately must have the freedom to live his life as he chooses, with whomever he chooses, doing what so ever he chooses so long as it harms no one else.
Universal Individual Freedom:
The Republics are first and foremost supporters of individual human freedom, and seek to establish the reign of individual liberty across the Universe.
SCIENCE!:
Science is the process by which the objective reality is sought by man of reason, it is therefore to be lauded at every opportunity, never to be censored in the name of protecting sensibilities, for one cannot fake reality. Science finds no greater ally then in the Capitalist system of the Merchant Republics.
Education:
Education is a choice, ultimately, and no amount of coercion can make children learn, however the value of education can not ever be said to be anything less then one of the most necessary elements of a free populace, a cultured civilization and a truly powerful economy, thus education in theories both practical and theoretical are held in the highest regard.
Industry:
Industry is the means in which men bring the objects of their minds into reality, it is creation beautiful and simple, and without that creation and production and innovation, a nation has nothing, industry is the most important element of a prosperous, cultured and civilized society. The Industrialist, like the Scientist is a man of reason, to be celebrated with the highest esteem possible.


While the Union and Republics seem to have an almost nonexistent, and certainly weak, central government, and apparently insist on giving animals the same rights as humans, they otherwise appear to be a sensible, free, and Democratic nation of Capitalists.
