Slavery is good for the people
Mauni is ranked 1st in the region and 1,131st in the world for Healthiest Nations. Which isn't bad when you consider that we are not as economically developed as some other nations.
slavery is wrong, you don't have slaves do you?

Here we go...
Personally I find that having everyone in the military at one point in their lives can do more good for health... and beleive me when I say that owning slaves is not good for your health in the long term... unless you have a huge nation, then you can do what you like.
Personally, I don't care, it's your nation, do what you like.
Rechevia is appalled by the concept of slavery, a compulsory military service for that matter.
slavery is wrong, you don't have slaves do you?
Allowing your citizens to be sick and to die young is wrong.

We are personally opposed to slavery, but we understand the vital role it plays in many nations. As long as you use some measure of discretion and humanity regarding your slaves, we have no objections.

Look at Iuthia, that was the nation I was talking about (this is my other one created for a RP split in Iuthia, I'm using it becuase of my other one is locking me out for a while...)
Even then they aren't too high, but I feel that not having slaves makes you last longer, seeing as alot of nations abhor slavery.
I don't support you what so ever, in fact I condemn you, I just ain't going to do anything about it.

Don't you mean "or"... sigh... look at Iuthia's background (linked at the bottom of this page). Hm... may I also point out that Iuthia is the 450th most happy nation in the world. It just so happens that Iuthia's complusory military is cultural and is also a means of becoming a man

Please actually read the Rechevian page, it details that the government is very socially minded, we are a Liberal Democratic Socialism, unfortunatly current low funds make it difficult to allocate sufficient resources to each area of society. However education and health always take priority.

Ah! An attempt at proof by repeated assertion. You need to think through your position.
Freedom means doing whatever you want when you want it regardless of what anyone else thinks or desires. Feeling like taking dope? Libertarians say go right ahead. Want to be selfish? Libertarians say that is a virtue.
Why are your people suffering? Because no one in your society cares about the less fortunate. All they care about is "Me! Me! Me!" only by serving the one true deity can people become moral.

Realisticly if the UN did conduct a Health investigation on your country, my guess is that the health report will be on the rich? You wouldn't want to show the UN you have slaves because in the UN its illegal. But its proably stating that the rich has great health care, but not the slaves.

Yes and no, all the Aelosians receive a percentage of the taxes according to his job and status in society. That system was implemented to give the goverment total control about who earn money and how much. Private enterprise is illegal because all industries belong to the noble houses, who are also part of the goverment.

2) Mauni is a slave society.
3) Therefore the UN takes a pretty dim view of Mauni.

Yet when we show your shortcomings, most of you say "The UN reports don't count. They don't mean anything. The UN hates us and tells lies about us." Well, you can't have it both ways.
We have always openly and honestly admitted we were a slave society (i.e. "oppressive" in UN terms). Would that you jackals were half as honest. Corrupt by UN standards? Sure. We have a long history of making Mauni, Blessed Be She, live a comfortable life worthy of a God. And when the current Mauni dies, we usually install a relative as a new incarnation. "Human Resources"? Of course. That's what slavery is all about. But the point is that being a slave society gives us order and discipline and good health care and low violent crime. A "black market" in Gambling? All that means is that gambling is illegal (as is all private enterprise) and yet some people continue to break the law.
Nothing about our society is any more evil than any of your societies. So get off your high horses.

All money gained by the nation's citizens goes through the government, which allocates the necessary funds to run it's operations, then redistributes the remaining cash equally among the nation's citizens.
For today's lessons on the virtues of a slave society and the lying hyprocrisy of your so-called "free" societies, let's see whether the citizens have clean air and water or whether they are wallowing knee-deep in their own filth.

Imperialz is ranked 2nd in the region and 68,464th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments. (What a Hell-hole this continent must be! The second best nation for the environment in the region is one of the most polluted societies on the planet!)
So not only are we much better than the average nation on healthcare, our people also live in a beautiful and unspoilt nation--apart from the radioactive slag heaps left by the savages who attack us for no reason other than jealousy of our lifestyle.
Besides, where's the connection between healthcare and slavery?
I don't know precisely, but I happened across this message on the message board for the Exclusive Capitalizt Zone this morning:
The Republic of Ghettostan:
"haha, I'm 184 out of 188 for health. Supposedly freedom makes you less healthy. This is something disproven by the life expectancy of most westernized nations."
OOC: Ghettostan is not my puppet nor even someone I talk with often. So clearly others have seen the inverse relationship between freedom and health in the game.
*bump*
OOC: No comments on whether there is an inverse link in the game between health and freedom? No response on my offer of aid to smaller nations? No one willing to admit that their nations do have moral problems? Is the height of intellectual ability on Nation States really so low as "You say 'slave', me kill."

Noitan Teppup is ranked 193rd in the region and 3,207th in the world for Stupidest Citizens.
Would you mind facing the issue at hand, and not relying on UN reports as your only defence? The fact of the matter is, you are trying to justify enslaving your people as a morally upright thing to do, but did it ever occure to you, that you have manditory healthcare, manditory education, ect. where as other nations, such as my own, have optional healthcare, opttional education, ect. You are forcing your people to be healthy, forcing them to be educated, but if they don't want to partake of our free clinics and education, why should we force them? And before you start railing on my country, do note, we are essentialy a massive military. Everyone is considered a member of the armed forces, though only 5% are designated combat duty, and only 1% are active at any given time. Most of everything is channeled through the military, we offer free health clinics, free education, free shelter, and free food. Our people do not require the ammenitys capitalist nations have, nor do they really want them. We have no welfare because we do not need it, everyone has a job, and everyone is provided for.
Have a nice day
*EDIT*
and because I feel like being especialy venomous,
Mauni is ranked 1st in the region and 64,576th in the world for Stupidest Citizens.
Taka is ranked 6th in the region and 66,216th in the world for Stupidest Citizens.
shove that in your pipe and smoke it.

Nianacio is ranked 6th in the region and 351st in the world for Stupidest Citizens.More propoganda! :o Homeschooling is quite effective if you want educated citizens.
According to the UN report for your nation: "The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out."
So how is our system any worse than yours?
Because we have little if any poverty, for one thing. Slaves are, by definition, poor.

OOC: Yes, my people are stupid. Why do you think it is so easy to suppress them? I can tell them anything I like using big words and they will look at me and know I’m doing right.
Anyways, you avoided the point I made about how your people care about politics but don’t necessarily agree with them, unless you have some crappy UN stat to prove otherwise.
Would you mind facing the issue at hand, and not relying on UN reports as your only defence?
Oh, we have never relied on UN reports as our only defense.
You are forcing your people to be healthy, forcing them to be educated, but if they don't want to partake of our free clinics and education, why should we force them? And before you start railing on my country, do note, we are essentialy a massive military.
Oh? So what happens if a soldier disobeys the direct order of a commanding officer in your nation?

Taka is ranked 6th in the region and 66,216th in the world for Stupidest Citizens.

We have never claimed to be better than every country in the world in every conceivable UN measure. We are merely pointing out that we are morally superior to the savage barbarians who roam the world stealing, killing, and destroying what they cannot understand. We have been historically a poor nation recovering from a massive and unprovoked nuclear attack. That means we have not always been able to devote as many resources as we would like to areas such as education. And yet with what meager resources we have been able to spare towards education, we have achieved a ranking roughly on a par with your own nation.
Because we have little if any poverty, for one thing. Slaves are, by definition, poor.
So being poor is a moral failing?
What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world's wealth but loses his own soul?
If a Takian soldier disobeys a dirrect order durring war time he is shot on sight, if it is durring peace time, he is courtmarshaled. The trial is completly unbiased, and if the order is found to have been a bad one, then the one issuing hte order is demoted, and if he executed the soldier who refused to obey it, he too is executed and rank is stripped from his family. It is brutal, but it is fair and effective, and most takians suport it.
Anyways, you avoided the point I made about how your people care about politics but don’t necessarily agree with them, unless you have some crappy UN stat to prove otherwise.
Well, logically if large numbers of people in my nation disagree with the government and are able to voice those opinions (so that even people in Noitan Teppup have heard them) is that not evidence we have "freedom of thought" and "freedom of speech"?
On the other hand, if it is merely a small number of malcontents and extremists, why should their opinion weigh more heavily than that of the vast majority who support the Goddess?
If a Takian soldier disobeys a dirrect order durring war time he is shot on sight, if it is durring peace time, he is courtmarshaled.
And you say virtually everyone in your society is in the military? So basically everyone in your country must obey orders from an "overseer" and is severely punished for disobedience to those orders.
How does your system differ from slavery? As near as I can see, the only difference between your system and ours is that you are unbelievers who do not worship the Goddess.

OOC: [smacks head against keyboard for a small interval] Do you understand what “OOC” means or are you trying to twist my words and again miss the point.
OOC = Out of Character, as in my nation is not saying it. I, as a player, am saying it.
Because your people are interested in politics (i.e. not apathetic which is the stat you quoted from the UN) this fact doesn’t mean they must like it because they are interested. I didn’t say that they hated it, just that you can’t use it for an argument claiming that your people agree; that’s a different stat all together.
Reason I did that post in OOC, because my nation doesn’t advertise the fact that we oppress our dumb people.

OOC: Wait a minute here. You accused me of avoiding an issue and so I responded to it. Then you get all huffy and claim I shouldn't have responded because it was an OOC comment. You can't have it both ways. Did you want a response or not?
Sheesh!
And you say virtually everyone in your society is in the military? So basically everyone in your country must obey orders from an "overseer" and is severely punished for disobedience to those orders.
The difference is, orders are given for the benifit of the society as a whole, rather than for the benifit of a single group or caste. Officers in the military are not exempt, as I would immagine those who keep your slaves in line are. Our system differs from slavery because our military is a vollentary force, if you sign up you are taken care of, if you do not, then you are on your own, but we do not force anyone to join. A child is not born in the military, he must decide wether to enlist or not at the age of 16, untill then, he is trained in the military, but exempt from military law.

Let's check facts again:
Mauni is ranked 1st in the region and 920th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
Taka is ranked 1st in the region and 2,429th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
Letila is ranked 71st in the region and 7,422nd in the world for Healthiest Nations.
Noitan Teppup is ranked 1724th in the region and 71,697th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
Nianacio is ranked 98th in the region and 76,542nd in the world for Healthiest Nations.
If you really want to criticize a nation which mistreats its people, please consider Nianacio or Noitan Teppup.
So being poor is a moral failing?
What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world's wealth but loses his own soul?
Uh, slaves are the victims. Poverty isn't a moral failing. You are right about the wealth, but you took my strongly anti-capitalism post and spindoctored it.
We will be laughing when the slaves revolt. To facilitate this, copies of the communist manifesto will be dropped on mauni. :lol:

Mauni is ranked 1st in the region and 1,706th in the world for Most Comprehensive Public Healthcare.
Nianacio is ranked 108th in the region and 78,408th in the world for Most Comprehensive Public Healthcare.
Let's see, is there a link between healthy citizens and comprehensive Public Healthcare?
Uh, slaves are the victims.
How so?
Once again, our people have clean air and water, a beautiful nation, good healthcare, low crime. And after death our citizens will serve Mauni forever while the heretics will burn in Hell.

Let's see, is there a link between healthy citizens and comprehensive Public Healthcare?Yea. Comprehensize public healthcare leads to unhealthy citizens because they have to wait about a year to get any treatment unless they're so sick they're going to die before then.
The Holy Empire of St. Bevelle is considering using convicted fellons as slave labor as an alternative to the death penalty. Of course the people who blatently defy our holy religion will be executed by being fed to monsters, but for more moderate offenses I see no need to execute a man. And as far as you so called civilized nations that warehouse your criminals in jails, our way is much more humane as the prisoner just sits and rots while my slaves accomplish something during the day.
We of Callidus believe that slavery is wrong but we will not tell others how to run their country, but we will allow no slavery or the moving of slaves through our country

How does slavery and healthcare relate to each other? By your logic, one could attribute his success to showering at 7:00 instead of 8:00...
How so?

Enough with the rhetoric. Your religion can't be proven or disproven, though it's obviously been made to serve your needs. The slaves have no freedom, are property, and can't do anything about this. No amount of rhetoric can change that.
