##If Hungary Hates Them, It Pobably Hates You.
I don't know much about the "Register" as far as accuracy goes, but if this is true, its among the funniest things that I have ever read.
Hungarians demand ejection of Piresan immigrants
...Two thirds of Hungarians polled for their opinion of dole-scrounging immigrants from Piresa demanded "absolutely no asylum" for the parasitic newcomers, Ananova reports.
This came as a bit of a surprise to opinion research institute Tarki, which carried out the probe, since the country of Piresa is fictional...

I really hope for their sakes that this story is a joke. I suspect it isn't.

This is blatant discrimination against us Piresans!
RACISTS! YOU'RE ALL RACISTS!
Around Piresans, never relax!
We shall, of course, certify that Perisa does indeed exist :eek:
Course, now Hungary shall have to fall ;)

Come on, people, don't be calling the Hungarians xenophobes. It's totally understandable! If doesn't matter if Piresa exists, who would want some parasitic immigrants taking all the jobs and mooching off the taxpayers, WHILE NOT EXISTING?!
On the other hand, perhaps Hungarians have a bigger problem with geography than the US does. :p

presumably concerned at the menacing tide of Piresans washing up on their shores
Considering where Hungary is in relation to any open sea, I'd be impressed if anyone, let alone Piresans, washed up on their shores.

Perisa, you are not alone. Your brothers and sisters of Smogaria stand ready to fight with you for rights and recognition regardless of existence.
We are preparing a brief to be presented late this year before the world court, citing Kerplackistan vs. United Nations, wherein it was determined that rights under international law are not granted exclusively to actual nations.
Further case law in support of our position includes East Virginia vs. Department of the Interior for failing to allocate highway funds without bias regarding geographical impairment, such as having no land.
For years, the bigots of the world have kept us down with statements like "Nothing unreal exists" and similar hate speech.
Well, as a gathering place for fictional nations, nationstates has a deep, abiding moral impetus to set things right.
Fake countries of the world unite! You have nothing to lose, in the most genuine sense!
