Crimsonfield has waged war on both the LCN and the FCN, and they let them back in for "regret." I bet if anyone the LCN currently has banned who they dislike was unbanned and that was our excuse, they'd crap themselves with rage.

Greater Sacramento Vote
The Islamic Republic will vote for the resolution. International Security is important and when disputes arise that have no higher authority reliable to judge the situation fairly we could enter an age of war and international conflict. This is something to be avoided for the only planet we have is this one.

New Gandor Vote
New Gandor votes yes for the resolution citing again the Karmozov Trial. Having a higher court judge international cases, if this works out well, could be beneficial and there is no harm in attempting such a thing with the current basis set by the resolution.

Death to Don Cheadle

The Malgan delegations response
Malgax has decided to vote AYE to the resolution. Clearly defining the court will avoid any confusion in the future.

"The Republic of Lyoa will be voting IN FAVOR of this resolution. Seeing as the court system is already in place and that certain grievances are only a small part of the court system, Lyoa believes that strengthening a tool to potentially use against foreign criminals will be useful."

Sequoyah Abstains
Sequoyah failed to cast a vote on the TCN resolution due to the political upheaval in Sequoyah. Secretary of State Seward has lost the sovereignty of the people. President Adama is said to be arranging for Seward to be replaced as Secretary of State.

Terranihil votes for this proposal. It is a reasonable bill and a natural follow up to resolution 26.

LMAO

Following internal cabinet deliberations, Quebecshire a.k.a Cubic shall be considered persona non grata in the Union of Democratic States and its affiliated properties. This decision is not one that is made lightly but recent events have demonstrated its necessity in maintaining the environment and regional culture that the UDS desires.

The Paleocacherian Delegation votes FOR resolution twenty seven as we feel it is necessary to help resolution twenty six function properly.

Since Asdersland wrote a small essay about my alleged character flaws, I kind of want to respond publicly. I deserve the right to defend myself and this region, so this is what we get to work with. I'm going to do so here because he posted it in the UDS announcements channel and on their forum, both of which I'm banned from per the PNG, as far as I am aware. Theoretically, I could make a forum account to reply but that's not worth the trouble nor fallout of doing so.

For the record: Quebecshire is the first PNG of the new constitution because he's a facilitator and perpetrator of racism and homophobia. The UDS people - as should any region or person with a basic sense of morality and decency - abhor the blatant and disgraceful usage of slurs and the culture of bigotry in the LCN that have been so apparent for some time and which have come to a boil in recent days.

Usage of slurs... "culture of bigotry"... I've addressed this a ton of times, go here for future information. I'll copy and paste the important parts, though,

We ask nothing more than the mere acceptance of the fact that racism and homophobia, in all their forms, are not acceptable in NS society. This includes the usage of obvious slurs, as was seen in the LCN case. This is not a hard bar to clear, and frankly, any region or community that engages in such intolerant acts is not fit for existence and especially not for relations with the UDS. Sadly, the LCN refused to acknowledge even the possibility that these sentiments and statements simply do not have a place in an online community where people of all kinds gather to play a game.

Evidently our regions agree on what crosses the line in particular. Nonetheless, this post goes beyond that and implies that we tolerate discrimination, which we do not. We have venues to specifically report this sort of behaviour and we have taken action on those cases which necessitate it. Later in this post, I will address one specific error on my part and on moderation's part. That is ONE example from 18 months ago because we have an EFFECTIVE, imperfect, yet effective moderation policy and staff. The claim that our region is "not fit for existence" is just a hostile statement to make that I don't wish to further reply to.

This personally comes as no surprise. I was aware of the nauseating tolerance for homophobia and racism in the LCN back to the time when I was Prime Minister, and I called out Quebecshire privately on the matter. He defended a particular incident in which a player (whom he identified as male) was called "Lesbian [n word pun/play on the word Nagarno]" by saying "[he's called that] because everyone hates him" and "I remove the N word if it's not deleted in a timely manner".

This specific instance was from January 2nd, 2019. I actually forgot about it until I went back and checked Asder and I's DMs. And I 100% admit that this was a lapse in our judgement and something that should have been addressed. You have my personal apology, and while this does not excuse it, our moderation staff was not fully developed and organized legally until after the dismissal of Consul Salisford about a month later. We dropped the ball on that one and I completely believe our moderation staff has grown both in response time and style and in what is and is not allowed since that time.

Not only is this still racist and homophobic, even if the target is ostensibly not part of those groups, it's also blatantly abusive. It speaks wonders to the systematic history of the LCN in this matter and the refusal of its leadership to take any action whatsoever. I personally was dissuaded from taking action against the LCN at that time, and that is an action which I regret thoroughly. We cannot be complicit in this sort of behavior any longer.

That comment was unacceptable and would result in consequences if said today. I give me word on that much. We are not perfect, we have made mistakes before, but the important thing is moving on to correct them. If you desire to invoke history, I wish to restate that the LPF lacked sufficient organization and it was not taken seriously by itself nor by many members at the time. For that I apologize, but it is objective that our moderation is not the same now as it was at the time of that one unpunished example.

To any other bigots among us: let this be a message to you to get out, because we don't want or need you. You are a stain on the NationStates community.

Which is why we have taken a strong stance against Farkasfalka, and our region's more provocative and bothersome adversary, Nagarno, who is a white nationalist and homophobe, and actually embodies the things you accuse me of in this statement.

The rest of his statement is mostly the conclusion and thus I will not respond directly.

As a general conclusion, the UDS is free to have closed embassies with us. But what this statement accuses our region of being is not what it is. I have had an active role in building a safe, welcoming, and tight-knit community of players here of many races on nearly every continent and of various sexual identities. Asdersland, I understand your concerns on a general level, but they are directed at the wrong people and wrong region, and frankly, you do not know this region. The one specific example I've seen cited in this whole issue and the one in our DMs is from a different era which we have progressed past, and it is one I take responsibility for. This region is not one which houses a culture of bigotry. I am willing to discuss further, respectfully, in DMs, if you wish.
