Political Rights: 7 (1 being the most free, 7 being the least free)
Civil Liberties: 7 (1 being the most free, 7 being the least free)
Status: Not Free

Overview

Ankhmet is one of the most tightly controlled countries in the world. The regime denies its citizens even the most basic rights; holds tens of thousands of political prisoners under brutal conditions; and controls nearly every facet of social, political, and economic life.

In classic totalitarian fashion, officials subject the masses to intensive political indoctrination through the school system, the state-controlled media, and work and neighborhood associations. Radios and televisions are designed to receive only government stations.

Elections are never held in Ankhmet. Even uttering the words, "freedom," "liberty," "democracy," or "elections," can result in life imprisonment. Peaceful political dissent is considered synonymous with treason, and many activists have been detained, harrassed, and even killed by authorities. People may never demonstrate publicly, except as part of a pro-government rally. All others who demonstrate, for political or other purposes, are subject to house arrest, banishment, or even imprisonment or death.

Religious freedom is severely repressed. No expression of religious beliefs, in public or private, is permitted. Recently, a 69-year-old Roman Catholic was lashed 500 times, castrated without anesthesia, and fed to lions for praying to God.

The right to privacy is nonexistent in Ankhmet. The state closely monitors Ankhmetis through informers as well as security checks on homes. The government also assigns to each Ankhmeti a security rating that partly determines access to higher education, employment, and health services, as well as place of residence. Every phone line is tapped, and dozens of bugs and hidden security cameras are in place in every home.

Ankhmet's government-controlled courts serve mainly to help the regime control the population. The regime also runs a network of concentration camps, gulags, and "re-education through labor" camps that are notorious for their brutal and degrading treatment of inmates. Torture and ill-treatment reportedly are widespread in these prisons and labor camps. Inmates are subjected to electric shocks applied to the genitalia, beatings, sexual abuse, near-drowning, and other forms of torture. Inmates are kept on a starvation diet. Entire families have been imprisoned for the crimes of a single family member. The right to trial-by-jury, the right to appeal, the writ of habeus corpus, and innocent until proven guilty, are concepts foreign to the Ankhmeti regime. Not even children are immune to the law. Children as young as four have been beaten, whipped, starved, burned, and hanged to the point of near-death for the "crimes" of their family members.

Corruption is rampant. While the populace faces mass famine and disease, high-ranking officials live in luxurious mansions, flaunting their wealth, most of which they pilfer from the treasury.

The economy is centrally-planned and under the total control of the government. The government assigns all jobs, prohibits private property, and directs and controls all economic activity.

It is unfortunate that your c********t haze cannot be lifted, as you would see that you are wrong in all you say. Ankhmet is right. The People will it, therefore Ankhmet cannot be wrong.

Comrade Premier Weishaupt

"We have consulted literally thousands of sources, from government defectors to ex-patriate Ankhmetis to human rights organizations to foreign governments to independent researchers. Our inescapable conclusion: Ankhmet violates human rights more flagrantly and grossly than any other nation on Earth."

--Tom Moua, President of Roach-Busters Human Rights Commission--

Random Jack on the streets of Fedala: "Is it just me or do you all find it hilarious that the great destroyer of fascism and communism uses the communist sickle and hammer stamp for their official government messages? I don't know, but these guys seem like jackasses to me."

Official Transmission from the Holy Imperium of Banduria

The Imperium is shocked and horrified by these allegations.

While it is true that some of these may be necessary to ensure peace and stability within the nation, sheer and unnecessary brutality such as Ankhmet's is uncalled for. The lack of freedom of religion, the totalitarian communist policies, and the fascist control of all aspects of life are among the most despicable aspects of Ankhmet's leadership.

In addition, Ankhmet's blatant imperialism and warmongering under the false banner of communism—itself an ideology undeserving of even contempt—lead the Holy Imperium to make the following statement.

The Holy Imperium of Banduria herewith condemns Ankhmet in the strongest possible terms and brands it an enemy of the Imperium. All Ankhmeti citizens currently residing in the Imperium are to be deported or executed; the flags of Ankhmet and those of any and all of its allies shall be ritually burned, and anyone found in possession of one will face grave consequences.

We will not stand for this kind of brutality and oppression.

Bandurian Minister for Foreign Affairs

A Bandurian official responded with the furtive statement...

"Psst—they're referring to capitalism in their speeches, not communism. Try counting again. There are eight asterisks between the 'c' and 't' in their message to Roach-Busters, for a total of ten... and 'communism' has only nine letters."

Civil Liberties: 1 (1 being the most free, 7 being the least free)
Status: Fortress of Socialist Freedom

Overview

Ankhmet is one of the most free countries in the world. The regime grans its citizens all basic rights; holds tens of thousands of f******s under superb conditions; and guides nearly every facet of social, political, and economic life.

In classic Socialist fashion, officials teach the masses with intensive political education through the school system, the state-controlled media, and work and neighborhood associations. Radios and televisions are designed to receive only government stations, to avoid them falling to the corruption of c********m.

Elections are held every four years in Ankhmet. Even uttering the words, "freedom," "liberty," "democracy," or "elections," can result in a spontaneous expression of love for the People's Socialist Party, provider of all these things. Peaceful political dissent is synonymous with c********m, and many activists have been detained and tought the error of their ways by authorities. People may demonstrate publicly, fearing only the disapproval of their families and friends.

R********s freedom is unnecessary, as r******n is not present in Ankhmet.

The right to privacy is not necessary in Ankhmet. The state closely monitors Ankhmetis through Agents of the People as well as security checks on homes Socialist Party rating that is used to determine the progress of Ankhmet towrds Utopia.

Ankhmet's courts serve mainly to help the People care for the population. The regime also runs a network of "re-education through labor" camps that are famous for their kind and loving treatment of inmates. Inmates are treated with the greatest of care, and other forms of kindness of the People. Inmates are kept on a starvation diet. Entire families have been imprisoned for the crimes of a single family member, to teach them that they have strayed from the path of Socialism. The right to trial-by-jury, the right to appeal, the writ of habeus corpus, and innocent until proven guilty, are concepts foreign to the Ankhmeti regime, as they are c********t and no longer the Will of the People.. Not even children are immune to the Will of the People. Children as young as four have been tought of their wrongs to the point of sorrow for the crimes of their family members.

The economy is centrally-planned and under the total control of the government. The People assign all jobs, prohibits private property, and directs and controls all economic activity.

[ooc: It is a good idea...]

"Any and all statements emanating from Ankhmet regarding its barbarous human rights policies are without credibility. Their Stalinist regime excells at propaganda and deceit, and their invalid claims are without merit and cannot be trusted."

--Tom Moua--

The human rights of Ankhmet are perfectly fine. The Nation of Kroblexskij has a level almost as good as theirs.

The morals of society in Ankhmet are as good as those in Kroblexskij, and the government looks in a sensible fashion towards the preservation of state secrurity.

The outlaw of religeon is perfectly fine to ensure a state free of hate crime and rascism.

The judicial and imprisonment system is seen as perfectly normal in kroblexskij and should be in many countries, we are shocked by the lawless societies thats plague the earth.

Im sure if a group of treasonous communists had been caught in your nation you would take similar actions.
I am sorry but the Nation of kroblexskij must remain neutral in the case of any conflict, unless deemed ultimately necassery, as we are undertaking an international space program.

bump

The nation of Ankhmet keeps its citizens in a horribly tragic state. We believe none of the propaganda coming from your mouths. You parade under the banner of communisim, but all you have is a totalitarian autocracy. Most disturbing is the banning and harsh punishment of religion. Though the Imperial Shogunate normally follows a policy of respecting national soverneigty, the obvious breech of human rights is too strong to ignore here. Also this nation has already insulted and attempted to dishonor us. Therefore, I am considering a Declaration of War to liberate the people and emplace a gentler government of the peoples' choosing. I will return with another message when I make a decision.

Shogun Himura Kenshin

This is CENN with your newest news flash from the Front Desk himself, Lee Sharn.

In response to the heinous allegations heaped onto Ankhmet by our close ally Roach-Busters. We totally fuckin' agree. Yes that's right. Ankhmet, from our experiences, is a tyrant to the Earth and must be purged and her people freed. The King himself had something to say about his views on communism and Ankhmet style socialism.

*cuts to a shot of the King running his hand under his chin and spitting*

That's all lads, lasses, and a special shout-out to Haggis. Aye aye then! This has been Lee Sharn with CENN.

The Commonwealth of Thergo will stop all trade with Ankhmet. This horrible country will last no longer. Currently our airplanes are on a "HolyWar" mission where they paratroop food, clean water, books etc. to the poorest sections of the country

MESSAGE TO: Ankhmet

We demand you give your citizens at the very least some extreamly basic rights. This is a horrid form of corrupt dictatorship.

Official Corollary to above communiqué, from the Imperium

The Imperial Republic of Hataria will help Thergo in every way, Trade wise or Military.

Official Imperial Declaration of War

Based on:

1. The current Ankhmet government's inability to provide reasonable rights for the people;

2. The mass executions of those who oppose trivial issues;

3. The aggressive international policy;

4. The persecution of religions;

5. Unneccessary labor camps;

6. A severe absence of the peoples' right to privacy;

7. And an unfair and over-aggressive judicial system.

These seven points outline our reasons to declare that as of this moment, a state of war exists between our nations. There is no need for oppression this severe in any nation or society. We now feel the need that military force on all targets in the country is required in order to eject the current government, and allow for one chosen by the people, and not a small group or individual claiming to represent the people.

Therefore, at this time we are calling up two million of our active duty soldiers from police duty inside the nation to prepare for combat. Our navy shall cast off soon, and our air force is on high alert. We will not back down and we will not stop until a legitimate government of the true peoples' choice is in place.

The Government of Psychotic Psychos would do well to remember that 90% of a population of 2.7 billion people rose up in support of the revolution. Is it right to deny more than 2,000,000,000 people the government they want? Surely, that goes agains the stated aims of your invasion. Regardless, the Conscription Act of 2000 is being called into effect immediately, and 10 million citizens will be recruited ino all branches of the army. You will find it very hard to invade the People's Republic of Ankhmet, given that there are only two possible landing points in the entire nation.

Official Open Message from the Holy Imperium of Banduria

Based on the human rights abuses detailed in the declaration of war issued by Pschycotic Pschycos, as well as insults and slander directed against our allies in Roach-Busters:

The Imperium hereby declares a state of war between Banduria and Ankhmet.

The Imperium will support Pschycotic Pschycos in this war. Our full military is currently being mobilized, and notwithstanding a force of approximately 600-700 ships and four legions in Neoma, most of the Imperial Army will be able to support this mission. (As the Imperial Guard and all related armies will be defending Banduria itself, this will far from exhaust our resources.) We will aid the glorious nation of Pschycotic Pschycos in defeating the blight upon the earth that is Ankhmet!

The Hellenistic Empire fully agrees with Roach-Busters. Trade embargo was placed on Ankhmet and traveling to that nation has been banned. All Ankhmet tourists in the nation have been detained for there own good.

We do not find legitimacy in your numbers. Also, protestors in our nation were given warnings to disperse, and given the chance to halt peacefully. Also, knowledge of penalties is always made public, so they were in full knowledge of the consequences of our nation.

Ten million new conscripts have not the power of a number half of that in well-trained soldiers. Also, your ten million is spread across branches. With this new intelligence, we shall increase our mobilization to 8 million of our active duty soldiers. This is just of the army. Also, two landing points is detriment to your defense rather than an advantage. I've read your geo. reports, and these are key cities. This will allow us to focus our strength, rather than needing to spread it out.

Official Declaration of War

Seeing that the unfree, psychotic, overly repressive, totalitarian government of Ankhmet has placed all other repressive nations to shame with the appalling human rights violations, of even the most basic ones respected by virtually all nations of privacy, thought, religion, and property, the Shahanshah has decreed forthwith a state of war is to exist between the nation of Ankhmet and the Shahdom of Parthia, one that will not end until the nation is freed and a more libertarian government in place.

As of Now, we have decided to mobilize the fleets, prepare for war O cruel despots, the time to face justice has come, you will find death and destruction while we free your nation and bring it to a great standard of living. No more will your people fear disappearances in the night for the illegal control you place over their most personal lives, now, they will be free to live as normal humans, to own property and enrich their own lives. Do you not see, we bring hope to a people with none, we bring new lives to a state of slaves.

Very Small Island Foreign Ministry Statement


The Government of Very Small Island wishes to offer the nation of Ankhmet military support in the event of an invasion. Our Government does not believe that any nations should attempt to force their views on another nation, Ankhmet should not be invaded just because they believe in treating there citizens different to other nations. We have ordered our army, Navy and airforce to be ready for deployment as soon as possible, if Ankhmet requires our assistance

The government of the Ankhmeti People's Republic wishes to thank the Very Small Island government, and accepts their offer of military support. Once this war is over, if the current government of Ankhmet is in power, we can negotiate extremely favourable trade status for your country.

From: Very Small Island Defenses Department
To: The Nation of Ankhmet

We have 250,000 regular soldiers and 8,000 men of our First special forces Regiment ready at this moment. We have begun to call up a further 500,000 reserves and we can call up more if needed. We have 200 Dragonfly fighters and crews, 40 Goliath class and 60 Juggernaut class bombers and crews ready at the moment. We are also currently preparing Our Fleet and Submarine fleet to depart. If you tell us where to go in Ankhmet we can depart in a few days. We can launch 1000 military advisors as well as 400 Group 9 special operatives in our Giant class transport aircraft immediately.

Please send as many troops as you can as quickly as possible. It is vital that the ports of Ankh and Tyr are reinforced as much as possible, being the only two viable landing point for a landing force.

http://kfox.gamehorizons.net/Pacitalia/coatofarms_Medovicia.jpg
Official Statement of the Ministry of International Relations and Foreign Affairs
Office of the Agustinate of International Relations, Federal Central Government
Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia



The Ministry of International Relations and Foreign Affairs finds it highly and blatantly hypocritical that a visibly corrupt and repressive nation such as Roach-Busters, in which elections are a rarity and human rights are a sham covered up frivolously by the totalitarian government, finds it their place to discredit any of the Ankhmeti government's actions toward its own people. It is especially hypocritical when certain officials in Roach-Busters turn around and commend an ally for executing thousands in cold blood just for expressing an opinion. If that is not totalitarian and repressive, what is?

First of all, this action taken by numerous governments is irreparable and irresponsible, and it is not the place of any nation to dictate how a nation runs itself. That is a sovereign decision and should be respected fully. The fact that it is so horribly obvious your haste to go to war is based on Ankhmet's social communist style government is just another stain on all of your previously reasonable reputations in the international community.

Second of all, if you truly want to liberate the people of Ankhmet from the oppressions they are apparently enduring, it would have been a much better decision to try a diplomatic solution first instead of becoming another group of trigger-happy commoners we see way too often in this world. We side with our Gholgothian allies in the United Clans, and their leader, Signore Burntfur, in treating the immature haste of nations grouped against Ankhmet with the utmost scorn. It is with that we pledge full diplomatic support for Ankhmet and its people, who genuinely asked for the type of government they currently have and are being attacked by a battalion of warmongerers. Don't liberate a nation that doesn't want to be liberated.

In addition to this, the Ministry is suspending diplomatic relations with any nation that has declared war against Ankhmet. When you apologise publicly for your revolting, poorly-thought actions, we will gladly unsuspend relations. Your actions have been duly noted and thusly condemned.


Sincera in domina bene,

Dr. Rabastano Sancatto Serra, MPP, RPAg
Agustinate of International Relations
Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia

The Imperial Shogunate shall NOT back down. Nor shall we care about your cuts in diplomatic relations, as we have none. Have a nice day.

"For your information, Dr. Serra, Roach-Busters has four- count 'em, four- legal opposition parties, which are generously allocated a whole 20% of seats in Congress. We also permit free expression of almost all religious beliefs. People are allowed to say and do almost anything they want, unless of course it's a danger to national security. We have no odious gun control laws, either. So, how exactly do we violate human rights?"

--Minister of Foreign Affairs Chong Moua--

I can certainly relate. In comparison, Pacitalia has no illegal opposition parties, and any party is free to earn as many seats as it can win through legitimate democratic means. We permit freedom of expression regardless of the context. And we, like you, have no gun control laws. So, I think I know where we're coming from when my department and I say it's not your place to make judgments when you do the exact same thing to your own people.

As for the Pschycotic Pschycos, even if we do not have any official diplomatic ties, we can still put you on diplomatic probation. Pacitalia is a very highly respected nation, and I daresay our words carry quite a distance in the international community - what we say definitely does not fall on deaf ears. Putting a nation on diplomatic probation means we recommend to (but, of course, do not force) other nations not to exchange or continue diplomatic relations, however, it puts a big red mark on you in the future, and you can expect other nations will most likely follow suit in the end.

Official Statement of the Commonwealth Governing Council
Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, The Anvil, Eleison City
Unified Commonwealth of Necros-Vacuia

The Unified Commonwealth is deeply troubled on two accounts: first of all, that the nation of Roach-Busters was able to force an unsanctioned human rights commission's review on the sovereign nation of Ankhmet: an action we believe even the UN, corrupt and bloated organ of capitalist power that it is, would condemn.

Second of all, that a coalition of nations has assembled a "liberation force" for the purpose of invading Ankhmet, based solely on the propaganda put out by this "human rights commission" of Roach-Busters, is absolutely appalling. The lack of regard for sovereignty and diplomacy shown on all their parts is shameful, and Roach-Busters should be further ashamed for inciting such actions.

What Ankhmet enforces upon its citizenry is Ankhmet's business, and Necros-Vacuia will not stand for this coalition's blatantly immoral actions. We intend to enforce both trade and diplomatic sanctions against all countries involved with the aforementioned coalition of states, and extend an offer of aid to the Ankhmeti regime, in both military and other terms of support.

That is all. May the Predecessors judge you justly.

Pacitilia and NV, you may do as you please. Our allies and those we have diplomatic ties with know us well and would not be influenced by your speak. We are a closed nation, and spreading diplomatic ties is of little importance to us.

Secondly, we have said it before, we respect national soverneigty under normal circumstances. However, we believe in the report that was given to us, have experienced exchanges with Ankhmet in the past, and what has happened and what we have seen is enough for us to carry out the actions we have already said.

WE ourselves are a dictatorship. There is no political opposition. However, we allow freedom of expression to the point of political dissent. As long as it doesn't involve the government, the people are free to do whatever they please. Ankhmet, however, puts dictatorial states to shame with the state it keeps its citizens. We are going in, going to keep civilian casualties to a minimum, and over throw the government. The people will then be given the choice to emplace whatever form of government they like. If they choose to reinstate what we've overthrow, then so be it. We will then recognize that it is indeed the peoples' decision, and we will no longer interfere.
