Leave the UN!

It seems that many UN nations constantly vote against resolutions because they violate "national sovereignty" or something. If you feel that this seems to always be the case, LEAVE THE UN! We are not in the UN and our nation is as prosperous as any UN member. Of course, our people are routinely flogged, but that's a small price to pay for our economic strength. I see no advantage to the UN except for using endorsements to conquer regions. And if this is all you use your endorsements for, don't vote on the resolutions. It's really very simple, and a win-win situation.
But if you feel as though you must have some kind of protective alliance, contact us. We shall see what we can do.

What about all the arguments to further democracy but end up hindering it?

And thus harm it more than help it? Point is, one must take care in not going too far with this.

Hear hear, friend. The Wolfsreich people support this post, that is when we're not breeding like rabbits and increasing our population twelvefold in less than a month.

We're going to need some lebensraum before too long.

What if we are part of the UN to protect the national sovereignty of other nations?

Truthfully, the UN MUST HAVE opposing view points. If it does not, then the UN itself isn't an effective body. If the UN had members that all agreed then it wouldn't have a need to pass resolutions, all nationstates would be alike.

All resolutions should in some way respect national sovereignty or they are NOT respecting the national leaders they are asking for support.

The CATO Acts are a very good example of such affronts to our basic rights as leaders of nations.

The people are always secoundary to the leadership. If the leadership of a nation were to fall, the nation would fall into anarchy.

If you try to dissolve the leadership of a dictatorship, you are simply encouraging the people to run their own lives. This CANNOT be tolerated.
