Alliance of Secular Governments

10-12-2003, 05:37
Recently various Catholic states have joined together in a seemingly hostile alliance known as the "Defenders of the Faith". If they succeed in allying, the world could be in danger of being conquered by a pan-governmental religous/economic/military hegemony.

I, (anonymous representative) of Nar-Knife therefore propose an alliance of secular nations to keep the balance. This alliance is not, however, intended as an alliance of states geared towards conquering the world - it is only intended as a countering action toward the grim possibility of a WorldChurch. We will ensure choice for the citizens of Nar-Knife. Free choice.

(There will be a link to the "DotF" announcement in a following post.)

We got alliances for commies, imperialists, dictators, socialists, capitalists ... none for Catholics until now.

The Confederacy of Patoxia does not see the Defenders of the Faith as a threat any more than the any other alliance is. We have not seen them or any of their members of their group do anything hostile, in fact their charter seems to imply that they respect international law.
They are just a minority group organizing to better use their political and national resources and provide for a common defense. Let me say this again, they are a minority group, there is absolutely no danger of them conquering the world or taking over the UN or anything like that, leave them in peace.

Of course they only belong to the largest most powerful church on the world and with a peaceful pope but one that is powerful enough that the USSR and the whole of the warsaw pact couldn't oppose him. Well they are an Minority that most catholics aren't miltiant any more unless its to defend their faith from attackers...

~Emperor Zerni
10-12-2003, 06:09
A minor issue - Roania claims the "DotF" to be rather large, Patoxia. Also, Jeruselem, "AoSG" is not one of the "alliances for commies, imperialists, dictators, socialists, capitalists" - it is simply an alliance who believes government should be secular. "AoSG" does not hold with armed enforcement of this position. To address Zerni's statement that the Catholic church is currently a peaceful one, recall that "DotF" is not the Catholic church, both states that hold it as their religon - recall, also, that "DotF" is composed at least partially of "crusading" states.

Well Jeruselem is the last of the Crusader states formed during the crusades and managed to survive the turks and everything else. All the Crusades we have waged have been defensive in nature and took place inside Teritora like the famed the Cross and the Star Crusade agaist a king that upurped the throne around 1252 AD and was tring to purscute and kill all the christians and jews of Teritora never mind they made up most of the population.

Eh. I've never participated in a crusade...

<looks around, goes back to plotting>
10-12-2003, 06:30
Your defense of the persecuted religions, while admirable, is just what "AoSG" was formed to prevent the need for in the future. Persecution of minority sects, other religions, and the non-religous are not tolerable. While "AoSG" does not seek, nor even contemplate, intervention in the internal politics of other nations, it seek to prevent other from doing so as well.

10-12-2003, 06:40
Do you view them as a threat to your continued existence as an Islamic state - or as a threat simply because they are there? The inquiring mind of Nar-Knife (and there are many) would like to know.
10-12-2003, 06:48
If they do indeeddecide to "cull", first will be the various splinter sects of catholicism, and the the protestant, and then the muslim, and then the jews, and then the eastern religions, and then more minor religons, and then all other who oppose them. This is a possibility - not one that "AoSG" believes in wholeheartedly, but one which must be fought against if it begins to come to fruition. That said, it seems an unlikely thing - morelike it will be propaganda based - at least tobegin with.

Is this on the assumption secular governments provided more freedom than Catholic ones? Secular governments aren't all exactly models of free government either.

Does not appreciate non-secular governments - we believe your position is valid in this case.

10-12-2003, 07:11
Further more - yes - it is Nar-Knife's position that secular government's - at least model ones - have far greater freedom than that of non-secular ones. Freedoms of religon, press, speech, and democracy, to name a few.

10-12-2003, 07:17
The Federation of Glorious Humanity has no quarrel with any of the DotF nations, and sees no reason to start one by joining an alliance opposing them. This alliance seems rather unneeded, since DotF has not given any indication that they intend to start converting by the sword.

If it truly worries you so much, might I suggest a different method of dealing with them: diplomacy. Open diplomatic channels, send ambassadors, establish friendly relations with the DotF, and learn more about them. It's entirely possible that you could find friends that you wouldn't have if you attack the organization, or at the very least learn what they really intend to do, instead of assuming they're militant.

Albert: Please, sir, do you research. (member nations have acted agressively before)
Esryia: We support your resistance to being overtaken by another state/alliance of states (though not militarily - as the "AoSG" is currently a one nation team).
10-12-2003, 07:32
Nar-Knife, as a developing nation has little to fear from the Goliath-like advances of Roania. "AoSG" officially states it's opposition to the forming of yet another Imperialist alliance: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=101937
10-12-2003, 07:42
It has come to attention, that in response to an inquiry by Nar-Knife that the "DotF" is not a very consistant set of nations, as is observed by this: What exactly are you intentions for "DotF". Nar-Knife has already stated its position on what those intentions seem to be. Various members of "DotF" have responded Nar-Knife's position - please state it - all members - what each member-state's goals for "DotF" are. If you do not know of Nar-Knife's position please read : http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=102389&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

The primary purpose of this alliance is mutual support for diplomatic, military, and commercial interests of Catholic nations.

In the event a member state's Catholic government is under attack, it can invoke the support of the DotF. as opposed to this: Roania's goals: Short term, give Dar-Knife 10 more minutes, than take him over.

Long term, and in this alliance... maybe to make some new allies, etc.

This act of intolerance is an outrage. What these savages are doing is bringing the whole region back to the Dark Ages. Don't they realise that by threatening people because of their opinions they are marginalising some of their brightest citizens? Such policies are innately self-destructive and must be abolished.
We have listed non-religious citizens in the area entitled to political asylum until DotF come to their senses.

As a maybe-Communist dictator, I refuse to have any contact with the fascist imperialists of DotF, and I recommend that all Communist, Socialist, Bolshevik, Menshevik, Eurocommunist, Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist, Trotskyist, Maoist, Titoist or Castrist nations join to combat the spread of Fascism, superstition, and capitalism. Let us create a World Communist Pact. You know were to find me.

Is not just over the pssible persecution of aetheists and agnostics, but those not conforming to the "DoTF" religous status quo in general: Muslims, Protestants, etc. "DotF" members are often volatile and illogical. Consequently, many are a threat to others.

While DotF members have Catholics governments, each still runs its own foreign policies.

For example, Roania is an Elf-friendly nation and has Sirilism as it's second religion while other nations persecute Elves. Jeruselem runs a tri-religion state - Christianity, Judism and Islam. Every member state is different.

Your, nation, Jeruselem, is the most level-headed "DotF" nation. Roania's fetish for elves does not a free nation make. Its persuction of others outweighs stated penchant. If it were truly free it would view all with as much 'respect' as it has for the elves.

Yet another alliance of non-secular nations seems to be forming.
10-12-2003, 19:15
Free Burkina Faso is interested in joining this alliance of secular states. While many of our people our deeply religious Muslims, Christians, or followers of traditional African faiths, it is our belief that government is a secular institution with a secular purpose.

We also urge the nations of the world not believe Roania's lies. Roania is an imperialist state which conquers free peoples at will and grinds its non-Catholic population under its heel, and routinely uses chemical weapons on civilian non-combatants. If their actions are to be deterred, the free nations of the world must unite together to impose these sham-Catholic imperialists.

It seems not to be an issue of opinion considering Roania - more accurately, it is a matter of fact. Roania is publicly aggressive and offensive. While not all nations that are members of "DoTF" hold similar stances, it is those that do that "AoSG" is concerned about.
Oakeshottland
11-12-2003, 01:34
To the leadership of Nar-Knife:

We have responded to your request, asking what our nations hope to get out of membership in the DotF. We re-print it here.

The RCO intends its participation with the Defenders of the Faith to do the following.

1.) Increase relations, in terms of trade, technology, diplomacy, and the like, with fellow Catholic states.

2.) Increase the level of integration of international policy among Catholic states, allowing them to be an influential bloc on issues of concern.

3.) Mutual protection and defence of the Faithful.

4.) Protection of religious brethern in other lands.

This fourth element is the RCO's alone, and does not stipulate it as part of DotF policy. In our infancy, we tried to block a genocide of religious citizens (all religions) within the Imperial Continent Vector. We failed, and risked destruction. We hope that a united front of the faithful could discourage nations and regions from doing such genocides in the future. We have no intention of becoming genocidal, or of supporting forced conversion. We hope for peace, but are also willing to fight for the tranquility of order.

We have noticed that many secular, and especially dedicated atheist, states show high levels of violence both against their own religious citizens as well as religious nations. We are therefore disturbed and disappointed by your inferences regarding the danger of the DotF. It would seem there are other, and potentially more dangerous, countries in the world, and they do not march under a Catholic banner.

With Respect,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Voegelin, Royal Commonwealth of Oakeshottland.

11-12-2003, 02:17
We would comment on this assertion, but since we're hosting a conference between SeOCC and Iesus Christi we feel it would be more prudent to hold our tongues. Ordinarily we would point to Iesus and the other states of the Reich as prime examples of religious human rights violaters, but the IC governent's willingness to engage in diplomatic talks with its ideological opposite seems to indicate a positive shift in policy that should be commended rather than condemned.
11-12-2003, 02:29
Minister Voegelin,
Nar-Knife would like to thank you for your highly appropriate response, in addition to being one of the few who was kind enough to post you response here. However we would like to point out that "AoSG" opposses genocide. In fact, preventing genocide is one of "AoSG"'s goals - whether it is genocide against the religious, or genocide against the non-religious. Nar-Knife would also like to point out that it is not an atheist state: we merely believe that the citizen should be allowed to choose religion or not for themselves - not the government. Furthermore we are disappointed that you - a religion that historically touted defense against genocide - have not examined some of your allies in the "DotF" more closely - causing you to state that you are 'disturbed and disappointed' that we have made 'inferences' as to the danger of "DotF" - we have simply examined the previous to current behaviour of the average member state - and determined that many hold violence dear - while you may or may not be one such nation - it is such nations - the "AoSG" is worried about - we do not slander peaceful member-states - however our concerns may be interpreted. In regards to violent non-religously governed nations - "AoSG" does not speak for them - however we do not condone persecution of any religous or non-religous group - whomever is doing the perscuting. However, if it is observed that an "AoSG" member-state is participating in such persecution, Nar-Knife would appreciate being informed of it - evidence is, however required.

Thank You,
The Citizens of Nar-Knife, on behalf of the "AoSG"

As your offer holds no requirements that we use such technologies offensively, we accept it. On further review it is probable that you will be admitted to the "AoSG". Please submit a short statement about your country with historical examples (OC: with links) which support that statement.

The Citizens of Nar-Knife, on behalf of the "AoSG"

thanks, but no thanks. we may use the fighter offensifly (SP?).

In that case you will not be provided with funding for weaponry.

OOC: He's already irked my ICly, and he's starting to irk me OOCly. It's a bit late.

OOC: I guessed as much. Just thought making a stab in peace's direction was the right thing to do before Nar-Knife gets buried. We ARE supposed to be advocates of peace after all. :lol:

OOC: I'll give him a few more days to lay off, then I show him what I'm capable of when I'm *really* angry.

OC: Words. If you 'attack' Nar-Knife, I'm simply going to ignore it - let that be stated for the record.
11-12-2003, 20:21
OOC: And if you attack Free Burkina Faso, expect an expensive, neverending bush war =P

OC: The oppressed (by invading nations) citizens of Free Burkina Faso will never run out, eh - even if FBF has to resort to terrorist tactics and clones.
11-12-2003, 21:40
OOC: Terrorism against Roanian troops isn't terrorism, it's guerilla warfare by definition.

And clones? Ever seen the real Burkina Faso? o.o Our army barely has any serious combat aircraft, and our space program consists primarily of a tin bucket and one man's dream. Cloning is a loooong way off.

OC:Tru dat - Roania is more-like the terrorist nation. Maybe just spend all your budget on cloning tech.

OC: The thread "DotF" isn't defunct - my mistake - though this could be a decoy. It's always possible :D
