I was notified by the Compliance Ministry as somehow not complying with the Discrimination Accord. I do not understand how that is possible.

I reward television shows for using different races in thier programs. My legislation is about to pass an issue supporting "Same-Sex Marriages," and I do not believe that I am in the wrong with any of this.

Could somebody please tell me, or let me in on something that I may be over looking perhaps.

My citizens have excellent civil rights and freedoms. The economy is developing into a good one.

Again, if anyone has the time, could they please explain this to me, and why I am being brought in front of the United Nation, so to speak, about this topic.

Thank you,
The Queendom of Little Nymph

Perhaps if you posted the telegram you received, we could go from there as to exactly what it meant.

I bet it looked exactly like this:Received: 2 days ago
Laws have been enacted to bring The Queendom of Little Nymph into compliance with the United Nations resolution "Discrimination Accord".That's the standard telegram evey UN member receives for every UN resolution passed. It's not punishment. It's standard.

UN Gnomes: "WE'RE HERE TO CHANGE YOUR LAWS TO BRING YOU INTO COMPLIANCE."

Little Nymph Bureaucrats: "But... but... we're already in compliance?"

UN Gnomes: "RIGHT! SEE? WE WORK FAST!"

:p

I bet it looked exactly like this:That's the standard telegram evey UN member receives for every UN resolution passed. It's not punishment. It's standard.

It is punishment! It's facsism! It's the intolerant tolerance of the UN, and it's breaching your door!

LOL. Don't worry Little Nymph. We all get those hysterical moments when we get the first telegram from the UN. Sadly it's not really worded very well is it? *shrugs*

Rysonia speaks the truth. I remember being quite worried when I received my first telegram, but after the second or third I became a little less jumpy. Now I hardly get nervous at all.

I was shocked when I got the very same telegram about the Discriminaton Accord. When I complained about the potential to scare the bejeezus out of new players, especially those like me who life in close proximity to that special segment of society that actually believes the UN is coming to take their guns away, I was first told I needed endorsements to complain. SO I got two endorsements. I complained again. They told me it wasn't a resolution issue, but a "nuts and bolts" issue and to take it up in a tech thread or something similarly dismissive. I gave up.

I sincerely wish that the UN would consult with some proofreaders/editors (oh, I dunno, like the ones in my country -- we pride ourselves on grammatical precision) to make clear that the telegram you're getting merely acknowledges the passage of one or another resolution. I can't believe they don't see how inflammatory and reactionary it sounds.
