International law suggestion.

perhaps it should be stated that no matter the situation Marijuana is illegal, to help avoid confrontations, or set up a "blackmarket" where it can be sold in peace.

Can you explain further? :?:

Minister of North Germania, our idea is as follows:
All dealing in illegal drugs be prohibited so not to cause conflict.
A special area be set up for the nations who want to buy these drugs, where the drug hating nations cannot attack. . .

The WhiteRose, try joining the United Nations. There you can have say in "International Politics" but only those regarding the 22some thousand member nations. The other 66% of us are freet o do whatever.

Premier Inte Anoit, to you. And don't thank me, you are not on my countries "Good People" list, with your deportation of homosexuals to my country. There will still be homosexuals in your country, you can't "stop" them from being born.

Hm... how about "no" there are no International Laws, the only ones that exist are within the UN and I'm not part of their book club, so I will continue to purchase, produce and allow use of all drugs within Iuthia, the nations whos people are noted as the 250th happiest nation in the world.

The selling and buying of marijuana is not officially condoned or supported by the Lietuv government, but it is our sincere belief that all persons should have the full and unlimited right to choose. However, drugs such as crack cocaine and hashish should of course be illegal. It is proven that marijuana is not more harmful than alcohol or cigarettes, and therefore should be legal. If alcohol were illegal in one's country, then it would be logical for marijuana to be as well.

However, it should be accepted by international law that the selling and buying of goods should not be regulated, unless they present clear and present danger to users or sellers. Such goods include weapons of mass destruction, hard drugs, and other harmful trades.

This is the official policy adopted by the Lietuv government, and has always been so. We will try our best to stem any attempt at limiting the freedoms of humans to choose what they want and when, so long as it is not more harmful than smoking or drinking. If there shall be a UN resolution to make the selling and buying of marijuana illegal, we will immediately vote against it, and urge all others that are in the UN to do the same.

Actually you will find that due to the good education system that Iuthia has our citizens are well above average in comparison to most nations on Earth (top 10'000) and our health well above average within Iuthia due to the amount of exercise the people get (top 6'000, no almost no health system in Iuthia, they are fit because military training teaches them to be active).

Seeing as we train our people to be responcable for their actions they are sensible with drugs (if they feel compelled to take them) and the crime rate in Iuthia is currently almost at 0%, crime is not a problem in Iuthia and it's been that way since the start.

But seeing as you like insulting other peoples nations without actually looking into them I will be increasing all trade tariffs with your nation by 200%.

Thanks,

Lord General deGritz, leader of the Iuthian people.

How can your people be happy when you have 100% income tax?

Ask the UN, it's their report... but if I had to hazard a guess I would say that the 100% income tax actually represents our corperations being owned by the government of Iuthia. The people themselves are not actually taxed in any normal respect... it's just assumed that the govenment owns all company assets and organises the peoples wages as we see fit.

That said, we have an incredably small difference in earnings across Iuthia, because most people get paid an reasonable amount... just barely enough for some luxuries occasionally...


I'll try to be a little more detailed, we're hardly the happiest people around because of our drug policy (that all people who have gained citizenship are free to do what they like with their bodies) but it is also to do with standards of living, being content with less all due to the social setting our schooling systems have created.

No crime in Iuthia helps, so does the freedom to do what you like providing you don't infringe on other peoples freedoms... which explains our foreign policy somewhat, Iuthia abhors other nations telling us what we can't do as well as nations that feel they must restrict others, as such we are the leader of an Alliance against Imperialism... we also assist nations who are in trouble because of their life style, such as drug culture.

In otherwords, if we find any nation starting military action over an issue like drugs then we are likely to intervene or place trade embargos on them. With our defence forces being in the top 1500 in nationstates (or 99'000 nations) we concider Iuthia to be a untouchable nation, the fact we are closely protected by allies as well makes Iuthia feel more secure then most.

So we don't mind ignoring "International Law" placed by moralistic nations who have nothing better to do then force their ageda down others throats... we would prefer it that nations try and stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons but... well, their dangerous huh?


You'd be amazed what a population of 1.6 Billion people does for your ego...
