Cultural colonization in progress ?
Lately, our government has handled some issues regarding something called "baseball" and a supposed "anti-trust law" that we seem to have. On perusing the country's canon of laws, we find nothing about this so-called "anti-trust law". We therefore request the nation-state concerned to cease exporting their laws to our doorstep. This is nothing more than an attempt at cultural colonization.
We disagree. When your government steps up and prepares to enter the stage of international politics, you must adapt the international standard. Anti-trust laws exist to protect the consumers, the general populace.
Nobody has been forcing their culture onto your nation yet. If you wish to remain the nation you are now, do not expect to participate in international politics.

Since when have anti-trust laws been an international standard ? and what do you call this "baseball" if not a cultural invasion ?
They were inquiries. Inquiries now qualify as cultural imperialism?
Believe it or not, there are actually many international laws regarding free trade, conduct of corporations, etc.

The sherman anti-trust act was originated in a nation called the United States. Socialist working class used an activist government to destroy large buisnesses that people had worked so hard all their lives to build. It also implodes the economy and prices for that market plummet losing investors everything.

That doesn't make it an international law. Which "united states" do you mean ? I fail to see what the second sentence has anything to do with us -- we are democratic socialists, and we have a strong economy.
Iuthia ignores anything a nation states as "International Law" because for that to be so I would have to agree with such a law... as such we do whatever is in Iuthia's interests as well as the interests of our moral standards.
So don't send your lawyers here complaining, we will send them back via catapult.

No they were not. Someone wanted to accuse a company of violating "anti-trust laws" which we don't have. Those were accusations, not inquiries.

There's nothing in the UN canon which describes an "anti-trust law", and there shouldn't be. Therefore, any attempt to influence an "anti-trust law" is regarded as un-necessary interference in the law-making process of a sovereign nation. This attempt to control a sovereign nation by influencing its laws is very obviously cultural colonization.

But you really can't ignore them. If you don't speak up, they will poison the minds of your people. And then your nation would just be a puppet, and your people controlled by them via remote control. In other words, you will just be a state in their country. You will lose the power to act in your best interests. Instead, your people would be manipulated to act in their best interests instead. Not all invasions are military. You can have the best military in the world, but if they can be convinced to sabotage the country, then your impressive military will end up being a liability instead of an asset.

Then you should have stated they were inquiries and been more specific.
OOC: Originally, your post said inquiries, to those who are confused by his edited post...

Then if your nation refuses to abide by laws set forth, then your nation will not experience much trade in the global market. You will either have to play by the rules or you're going to get thrown out.

WNN: ...In business news today, Wolfish Security Regulators suspected domestic trading with the nation of Calumnia.
Claumnia government officials recently announced their nation would no longer recognize international standards in security regulations including anti-trust laws.
Trade between Claumnia and Wolfish totalled over $30 billion last year.

Set forth by who ? thrown out of what ? and why should we be subject to any laws not mandated by the UN ?

Set forth by the countries who have enough power to mandate so. Thrown out of the global market, unless you can find nations willing to trade with you despite the lack of your anti-trust laws. Trade is an agreement, if you do not want to abide by the rules, then don't. However, that won't exactly help your economy...

Well, this makes no sense. Unless you mean "suspended". And even if you did, this would be international trade, not domestic trade. You'd think the media would have good grammar and spelling, but oh well. Anyway, we have no record of any trade with Wolfish. Trade relations between Wolfish and "Claumnia" (if indeed there is such a nation) have nothing to do with us.

The economy is doing very well, thank you. And yes, there have been trade enquiries. We do not abide by any domestic laws other than those of the UN and our own. But we digress. My point is that countries should not attempt to hijack a nation's law-making process by influencing it's people.
