5.) That the ANTO and it's member nations shall seek to inform and persuade those nations which do NOT prohibit the illegal drugs as mentioned above in Point 4.

Those nations which do NOT make any concerted efforts to make illegal the drugs mentioned in Point 4, shall be prioritised as nations deemed worthy of the full attention of the ANTO and it's member nations.

If a nation is responsible for the manufacture, trade and supply of the illegal drugs as mentioned in Point 4, then if diplomacy and ALL other peaceful efforts fail in persuading the government of the said nation to take effective measures aimed at halting the manufacture, trade and supply of illegal drugs, then the ANTO and it's member nations shall reserve the RIGHT to seek NON-peaceful measures aimed at halting the manufacture, trade and supply of illegal drugs.

These measures will include efforts and interventions by ANTO member nations of a pro-active and forceful law enforcement nature and if the situation arises, efforts of a military nature. This includes the strategic targeting of nations which do not fully co-operate with global efforts by the international community and the ANTO to control and halt the manufacture, trade and supply of illegal drugs.

The Empire and the Imperial Government, led by His Excellency the Prime Minister, Prince Fumimaro Konoe, are proud in the efforts they have made in their efforts in dealing with the plague of drugs, a plague that will hopefully be confined to the history books.

The international community of nations has a vested interest in seeking to prohibit the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of drugs, just as the Empire itself does. Let this communique give life to what will hopefully become a powerful, active and most of all effective coalition of noble nations.

OOC: Are you sending men over soon?

(OOC)

Please don't clog this thread with whats going on between you and me in your thread.

This is seperate.

However, I am awaiting a response from Girffenfest Inc before I decide If I shall invade or call off the invasion.

When he responds, then I'll make another post.

The Principality of Wilhelmsborough feels that it must speak up, regarding your proposed allience. Although Prince William approves of your desire to rid the world of harmful drugs, he hopes that you will be sure not to ban Industrial Hemp in the process.

Industrial Hemp has over 25,000 possible uses, including paper, cloth, and oil. Especially oil. Very recently, the Principality completed a transition from traditional petroleum to hempseed oil. This has benefitted us greatly, as we now have a renewable energy source that can be grown in almost any location. Burning it will also cause no net increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Industrial hemp has low levels of THC, so drug users attempting to get high will be disappointed by the results. I would strongly encourage the nation of Pure Japan to make an amendment in the ANTO's rules, making an exemption for the growing and cultivation of Industrial Hemp.

Thank you for your time,

Prince William Kennedy, Sovereign

The Triumvirate Council of the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

We are deeply offended by the inclusion of the substance Cannibanol and its derivatives, Codeine and several other chemicals which are medicinally benificial. Any attempt to stop Leafanistani shipments of these substances will be treated as an act of piracy and those responsible shall feel the wrath of our navy as any pirate has.

Mafia Darkroom

"So ANTO..."

"Is it An-toe or Ant-oh or perhaps A-natto?"

"Natto tastes like peni..."

"Ladies and Gentlemen focus! This could seriously impact our shipments, especially of the blow."

"Oh yes, the blow" *inhales loudly* "Fuck yeah, lets gets this shit down."

"Not in the room, and especially not over the Algeristani Strip's Minister's ass, she..."

"Her title is Minster from the Algeristani Strip."

"And we are off topic again."

"Okay, we have as much to lose as the legitimate powers that be."

"I understand, look those men are only armed with FMKs, Uzis, the few AKMs."

"AK-103s all around then, and those ancient 57mm AP LAWs that we have lying around."

"We do have a freighter that is dropping off goods illegally near Pure Japan."

"Understood, we'll get a Barbour-class to ship it."

"Excuse me? A Barbour-class? Those things have Exocets, those things have a CIWS, those things have 85mm Guns, they'll blast them before they see Japanese soil."

"Excuse me? Do you know who is in charge here?"

"Sorry, sorry..."

"Get back to the Minister's ass. Anywho, look, those guns are covered up with tarps, and the missile launchers are technically sunken into the ship's superstructure, you can't even tell they are armed with tarps over the guns."

"I'll get the guns to the crew."

"And the blow, and the reefer."

"Of course..."

165km from Pure Japan, on course for a drop point 87km from the coast with some drug runners

The ship was loaded, enough Leafanistani made joints, and Saharistani produced blow to get every fish in the Sea of Japan high.

The crew of 90 were heavily armed and watching the new modern RADAR system the Mafia had installed to ensure the safety of this run. Crew on top, patrolled the ship with AK-103s, LAWs, and waited to tear the tarps off the .50 cal guns and tear apart approaching ships.

None of them wanted to fire a shot, they all wanted to go home. They just had to do this run, and flee.

Pure Japan, I think you forgot methamphetamine from the list of drugs.

Pure Japan, I think you forgot methamphetamine from the list of drugs.

OOC: I think it is included with the various amphetamines.

OOC: probably. I really wasn't looking at the list too hard. It's a really impressive list, I must say. I'll stop clogging up this thread now.

If a nation is responsible for the manufacture, trade and supply of the illegal drugs as mentioned in Point 4, then if diplomacy and ALL other peaceful efforts fail in persuading the government of the said nation to take effective measures aimed at halting the manufacture, trade and supply of illegal drugs, then the ANTO and it's member nations shall reserve the RIGHT to seek NON-peaceful measures aimed at halting the manufacture, trade and supply of illegal drugs.

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Defense

We draw your attention to the bolded portion of the excerpt from the ANTO treaty. The Ministry of Defense of Kahanistan would like to inquire if the term "strategic targeting" refers, as it does in military parlance, to the intentional targeting of civilian populations, a war crime under international law.

The Government of Kahanistan has no laws against the production, sale, or use of intoxicating substances, and as such is very concerned about the existence of an organization that might in future take hostile actions against us.

The Kahanistanian tourist industry is heavily dependent on the presence of drugs to survive with our beaches now fortified against a Kraven invasion. As they are a powerful lobby, and the people view drug use as a personal choice, it is unlikely the government will be persuaded to compromise on that issue, though further inquiries can be made to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Margaret Delray.

We await your response.

Signed,
General Nora Kasagawa,
Minister of Defense

Even though The glorious Nation of Usea has no major drug problem,We wish to help in stoping this threat so lives can be saved.besides,you can't work if your high.

We must ask you that you stop this at once. this is a breach of the freedom of the drug users. If you must control drugs, leaglize them and have them goverment regulated, and of course well taxed. That will help you realize that Drugs are not the problem.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF DAYTANISTAN

To: Mr Tenzo Abe, Imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Pure Japan

Mr Tenzo Abe,

On behalf of the Supreme Daytan People's Council, with whose authority I write this letter, I protest at the inclusion of opium on the list of substances the international organisation you wish to form will proscribe. The poppy is a wonderful flower of great natural beauty and many and varied uses, which grows in abdundance on the fertile plans of this great socialist nation.

The workers and peasants of Daytanistan condemn this illegal, war-mongering organisation as a tool of capitalist oppression, which seeks to prevent the workers and peasants of Daytanistan from becoming wealthy through their good, honest labour harvesting Daytanistan's poppy crops. The ANTO will simply become a tool for the oppression of the peasants by foreign imperialists, imperialists who delight in the suffering of poor workers, who would see the Daytan people toil endlessly without reward for refusing to allow their class a share of the profit it did not earn.

If your government is concerned about the use of narcotics in Pure Japan, it should address the cause of the problem. Poppy farmers would not plant their crop if there not people who would buy it. That there are people rendered so impoverished and desperate by your exploitative economic system, so weighed down by their chains that they feel they have nowhere else to turn to but opium, that is a failure of your government to address the astronomical poverty which exists in Pure Japan and all other capitalist nations, not a failure of the poppy farmer. I ask you to focus your efforts where they are deserved, and not to victimise the peasants and workers of Daytanistan.

Sincerely,

Amad Noosh
Supreme People's Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, International Trade, Literature, and Sports

Official Communique of the Office of the Imperial Government of the Empire of Pure Japan

From: Tenzo Abe, Imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Pure Japan
To: Dr. Margaret Delray, Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan

The Empire of Pure Japan and the Anti Narcotics Treaty Organisation (ANTO) will clarify the position with regards to the point about 'strategic targeting' in Point 5 in the founding document of the ANTO.

This point is only considered a viable option by the ANTO and the Empire, AFTER all other means and methods have been exhuasted and those said means and methods FAIL to halt the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of illegal drugs.

The ANTO and the Empire, should military action have to be taken, will ONLY be used against those inidivduals, buildings and institutions that are INLVOLVED in the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of illegal drugs.

Under no circumstances shall the ANTO or the Empire take any action against innocent civilians and those individuals, buildings and institutions that are not involved in the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of illegal drugs.

There are different circumstances and situations that must be taken into account that will determin what methods of military action the ANTO and the Empire shall take.

For example, there are nations in the world that have governments that are opposed to illegal drugs and try their best to control them. However those governments and states, may be too weak, due to their military strength or other factors, to take EFFECTIVE action against the illegal drugs industry. This may be due to internal conflicts or a civil war within the said nation. In that situation, the ANTO and the Empire shall CONSULT the government in question to ask if they would tolerate a targeted military strike against those individuals, buildings and institutions that are not involved in the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of illegal drugs, if the government in question does NOT have the MEANS to do so by ITSELF.

In the case of FAILED NATION STATES, the ANTO and the Empire shall intervene in a peacekeeping capacity, fighting the illegal drugs trade and organised crime and assisting the civil population of the failed nation to rebuild their society and establish a stable and functioning government that can then be handed over to them.

The Empire is opposed to the vile menace of the Kraven Corporation and so we hope our two nations can work together in the future against this vile entity that has no purpose nor reason for it's pitiful existence.

With regards to your nation's law on drugs, the Empire and the ANTO urges your government to rethink it's position, given the social corruption and crime that comes with the cancerous plague of illegal drugs.

If your nation is interested in learning about the VIABLE and EFFECTIVE alternatives that are there to the FAILED policy of tolerating drug use, then the Empire and the ANTO will be more than happy to assist your noble nation.

If your stance of tolerating drugs is due to your government's desire to raise revenue from 'drugs tourism', then please inform the Empire of how much your nation makes from this and the Empire will consider compensating your nation's economy so as to offer your nation a path to prohibiting drugs without any loss to your nations economy.

The Empire hopes this will cast away any fears and doubts your nation may have with regards to the ANTO.

Comrade,

On behalf of the Supreme Daytan People's Council, with whose authority I write this letter, I wish to express the dismay of all the workers and peasants of Daytanistan that an ally in the global struggle against capitalist imperialism would become a signatory to so cruel a blow against them.

The workers and peasants of Daytanistan merely want to partake in the fruits of their labour by turning the natural blessings of Daytanistan's fertile poppy fields into bread to eat and goatsmilk to drink. For their sake, the General Secretary of the Daytan Communist Workers Party, Comrade Farrokh Nugat himself, has asked me to write to you and ask you to reconsider your decision.

To: Dictator Thomas Johnson, 1010102

The Empire of Pure Japan stands by it's policy and by the noble principles of the ANTO.

There shall be NO revision of the Imperial Government's stance on the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of illegal drugs.

The Empire does NOT reconise the so-called 'rights' of drug users, these inidivduals are self-destructive criminals who not only put themselves in danger, but society and the nation as well.

This will never be tolerated by Empire.

The Empire of Pure Japan would like to rebuke your irrational paranoia that the ANTO is some sort of 'capitalist-imperialist' plot. Nothing could be further from the truth. Out of the THREE current members in the ANTO, TWO of the nations are socialist and thus any idea that the ANTO can be part of some sort of anti-socialist plot is a idea that has NO basis in reality.

On the point of your nation's peasant population being financially dependent on the cultivation of the poppy plant, the Empire will offer to compensate your nation for any loss of income to your nation's economy upon the abolition of the opium trade in your nation.

Furthermore, the Empire is willing to send economic advisors to your nation to assist in the development of a legitimate economy in your nation and to assist in the development of your nation from that of a Third World rural economy to that of a First World industrial one. This can be done in conjunction with Pure Japanese corporations moving in to your nation to open up new markets and bring to your nation a flow of inward investment into your nation's economy.

This alone will do more for your nations development than any annaul harvest of opium your nation does at present.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF DAYTANISTAN

To: Mr Tenzo Abe, Imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Pure Japan

Mr Tenzo Abe,

On behalf of the Supreme Daytan People's Council, with whose authority I write this letter, your offer of compensation for the grevious losses which you propose to inflict upon the workers and peasants of Daytanistan, whilst superficially kind, is in fact evidence of the very plot you have dismissed as absurd.

The workers and peasants do not want charity! They own the means of production and like the parasitic classes which own the means of production in your country, they merely seek to profit from that which they own. Unlike the parasitic classes which own the means of production in your country, they are prepared to work for that profit, to toil in the fields to harvest a crop which allows them to provide for their families, but that is beyond the point. The proud workers and peasants neither want nor need your charity, they want simply to be allowed to do what they have done for generations without interference from the ANTO. They are not the source of the problem for which you have created the ANTO, as I told you in my previous letter. If the exploitation inherent in capitalist economic systems were to cease, then so would poverty, and if poverty were to cease then so would abuse of substances such as opium.

Your final offer is altogether insulting, although I can only presume it to be made with the best of intentions, and thus I shall not take it as an insult. Why would Daytanistan, a free, democratic republic, wish to admit foreign corporations, leeches who suck the blood of the workers and the peasants, into Daytanistan, in order to create the sort of society which is the cause of the so-called narcotic problem? In Daytanistan, very few people use the poppy crop as a narcotic, they simply grow it. What you are proposing would be to introduce mass exploitation and poverty into Daytanistan, where all workers and peasants are happy now sharing in the wealth their labour has created, and in doing so, would introduce the very problem which led to you creating the ANTO.

I say again, if you are serious about stopping the use of narcotics, you must deal with the causes which make people want to use narcotics, not employ military force against innocent peasants toiling in the poppy fields of Daytanistan and other countries.

Sincerely,

Amad Noosh
Supreme People's Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, Trade, Literature, and Sports

The Empire does NOT recognize the so-called 'rights' of drug users, these individuals are self-destructive criminals who not only put themselves in danger, but society and the nation as well.

Our question remains unanswered about the inclusion of these substances:

Morphine
Amphetamine
Codeine
Cannabis and its derivatives.

These all have highly useful medical properties.

From the Office of The President of the Republic
Dear Mr.Tenzo Abe,
We have legalize some drugs in our nation, but banned the export and import of them. The drugs are controlled by the government which is the only producer of the drugs. We wish inform that we have legalize drugs but, are not part of the international drug trade. We have laws also to make sure the drugs are pure and no drugs enter or leave the nation.

From: The Avisronite Department of State

The Federation of Avisron hereby condemns this organizations motives. Avisron allows our citizens to grow, transport, smoke, and otherwise use anything they can get their hands on. But drugs aren't a problem here. Do you want to know our secret? It's because, several decades ago, we destroyed the social "taboos" that make using drugs "cool" or "anti-establishment."

By forming a massive international organization like this you simply help reinforce all those taboos, making drug use look like it used to in Avisron and still does in many nations around the world.

You have every right to do whatever you want to your own population. If they let you remain in power, then they must agree with you. That said - we will not recognize any "laws" that the Empire of Pure Japan attempts to place on the international community.

As long as there is a market to sell their product in, Avisronite civilians will be free and safe to do just that. Their rights are fully protected by the Avisronite Defense Force.

The Triumvirate Council of the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan commends Avisron for its progressive social policies and its successful implementation.

I can imagine much of Pure Japan is very oppressed and its citizens don't feel content with the government's actions in this degree; and not just teenagers and college students.

Pure Japan is just another example of highly socially oppressive governments who have sacrificed their freedom for the illusion of safety.

Are you going to answer my government's queries or just leave them unanswered?

No kidding. You (Pure Japan) have yet to reply to my message on the first page.

[OOC: I'd like for a response, too.]

[OOC: Pure Japan, do you have any instant messenging programs or no?]

Ah, another drug prohibitionist alliance... I like this. I'm going to be so rich...

- Daneil Hernandez, Allanean Pharmaceuticals employee and shareholder.

ANN – The Allanean President, Alexander Kazansky, has inspected an Allanean Pharmaceuticals factory today. In that factory, recreational MDMA is produced for customers all over Allanea and abroad.

*camera shifts to a vision of a gigantic drug factor. Thousands and thousands of MDMA pills pour past the viewpoint, are packaged and put into trucks which take them out of the factory*

*Kazansky appears on screen*

I have much enjoyed my visit at this factory, and I would like to thank Allanean Pharmaceuticals for the wonderful samples of their goods they’ve provided me – I’ll try them out later today. – the President chuckles as he says that. – But now, I have a more important issue to address – the announcements made today by Pure Japan.

I would like to point out to the so-called leadership of Imperial Japan that Allanean citizens do not produce any illegal drugs – mostly because all drugs are legal in Allanea. That’s right – Allanea has no drug laws. Any adult in this nation is free to consume, for his entertainment, or any other purpose, cocaine, marijuana, caffeine, battery acid, whatever. Why? Because Allaneans own their bodies. Because Allaneans are free.

But that’s not everything. Any foreigner could come into Allanea, buy a kilo of cocaine, and go back, to his own backward, prohibitionist shithole nation full of vermin. And we wouldn’t mind the least, or do anything about it. We don’t care. Because people own their bodies. Because everybody in the multiverse is free.

This freedom is what gives Allanea power. The society that protects the inalienable right of people to own their own bodies – to do cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, battery acid and glue – that’s the society that can maintain a seven-million man army and a twenty-million man reserve. This is the society whose military budget is forty eight times bigger then your nation’s GDP. Why this works? Because Allaneans own their bodies. Because Allaneans are free.

This nation buys drugs, sells drugs, exports drugs, and even supplies millions of ‘mafias’ all over the world with drugs. And if you so much as attempt to threaten Allanean territory or sovereignty over this, your civilization will end. Land a single soldier in Allanea – and every single home will become a fortress. The Freemen will come out of their homes, converge upon your so-called troops, tear them apart and feed them to their hogs. The Allaneans will fight and defeat you like vermin – because you are vermin – because Allaneans know what it means to own your own body. Because Allaneans are free.

Want to try and ‘fight drugs’ against Allanea? Bring it on, prohibitionist. Just – bring – it - on. I dare you.

That is all.

May God Bless Allanea.

From: Tenzo Abe, Imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Pure Japan
To: Prince William Kennedy, Sovereign of the Principality of Wilhelmsborough

The Empire of Pure Japan and the Imperial Government do not consider the false claim and assertion that Cannabis can be used for so-called 'industrial uses'.

Putting aside any false science that industrial 'experts' promote in your nation, the Empire is of the view that should your claim that Cannabis is an efficient methods of generating energy and other economic activities, the Empire will still press on with the call to globally eradicate the plague of the Cannabis plant from our world. This being said in reference to the point the Empire stands by, that such cultivation of the Cannabis plant can be used by those with ill intent to manufacture, supply, trade and consume Cannabis as a illegal drug.

The Empire hopes the Sovereign of the Principality of Wilhelmsborough can understand and appreciate our noble position and work with us on this important matter.

The Empire of Pure Japan is one of the largest dispensers of a drug that should be illegal; False Information. It is the leading cause of death in many countries, from raping virgin babies in Africa to the Jews as the cause of the world's ills.

The active ingredient in cannabis is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which binds to a cannabinoids receptor in the brain leading scientists to discover endogenous cannabinoids were manufactured by the body. Cannabinoids are used in Leafanistan as a replacement for toxic and dangerous to use on children, aspirin, and highly addictive morphine, still a staple of 'modern medicine', because of a laws enacted by short sighted racists in the early 20th Century.

Do you know how cannabis was banned in the United States? Southern Senators claimed that there were mobs of 'high' Mexicans and Blacks running amok, raping and murdering entire families.

Hemp has been cultivated for millennia and many different varieties exist. The most common used for cultivation is actually a variety that contains little to no THC. Mercedes-Benz makes internal panels with them, people all around the world make clothing out of them. They are less dangerous to environment in producing paper, as it requires hydrogen peroxide not sulfuric acid like wood pulp. They also require less bleach.

70% of Hemp is a tough outer shell which keeps millions warm in their huts and as insulation, in addition, silica leached from soil by the plant combined with calcium oxide forms a chemical bond similar to cement which is both fire and waterproof.

30–35% of the weight of hempseed is oil containing 80% of the unsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs), linoleic acid (LA, 55%) and linolenic acid (ALA, 21–25%). These are not manufactured by the body and must be supplied by food. The proportions of linoleic acid and linolenic acid in hempseed oil are perfectly balanced to meet human requirements for EFAs, including gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). Unlike flax oil and others, hempseed oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs. Hemp also contains 31% complete and highly-digestible protein, 1/3 as edestin protein and 2/3 as albumin protein. Its high quality Amino Acid composition is closer to "complete" sources of proteins (meat, milk, eggs) than all other oil seeds except soy. It is an amazing alternative to trans fatty laced oils that the fast food industry uses.

Hemp is also a great crop, by itself, for the environment as it produces 4 times the paper as wood, while the limited THC content (not nearly enough to get high, believe me, bad bud gives you nothing) acts as an insecticide. Cotton requires an amazing 25% of the world's pesticides, while Hemp and its insignificant THC content acts as a natural insecticide.

Cotton is highly fickle and requires constant irrigation, while Hemp flourishes with little water.

There is concern that people will be growing cannabis for its THC content, but effective enforcement because of the differing taxes on cannabis THC content helps limit this. It is just like dealing with moonshiners.

Effective education, not lies will win the day over drug abuse. Pure Japanese policy via ANTO will simply result in more deaths, larger law and order budgets, loss of freedoms, and the loss of our true humanity.

Top Secret Confidential Communique

From: Prince Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister of the Imperial Government and First Lord of the Privy Council of the Empire of Pure Japan
To: The Triumvirate Council of the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

I write this letter to you, in the confidence that what I have to say will be kept secret to ALL outside of the Triumvirate Council of the Revolutionary Government of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan and a secret to ALL nations.

Before this letter was written, I held a secret meeting of the Imperial Government, consisting of the respective Imperial Ministers from Foreign Affairs, Public Safety and Sate Security, Defence and State Intelligence.

The issue discussed at this meeting was the threat and grave insults directed towards the Empire by the nation of Allanea.

The Imperial Government, the Empire and of course myself have come to the conclusion that Allanea should be wiped off the face of the Earth, by all and any means and methods.

This will be an effort by many valiant and noble nations, both in the ANTO and outside of it.

After the meeting with my government ministers I and the Empire have come to the conclusion that this must be the primary objective of the Empire and my own administration. This means the Empire will offer you something that may ease your fears and anxiety about the ANTO.

The Imperial Government and the Empire will allow the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan to be excluded from the anti-narcotics drive, policies and restrictions of the ANTO. This will mean that the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan will be free to manufacture, supply, trade and consume ANY drug of it's choice, regardless of the legal status of those said drugs in any other nation.

When the ANTO begins to impelement a global campaign to eradicate narcotics, this will be a situation most profitable to your own nation given that the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan will be in the sole position to meet the demands of supply and demand in the markets of the illegal drugs sector.

In return for the Empire turning a blind eye to any narcotics market or industry in the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan, the Empire asks that you join forces with the Empire and other nations in invading Allanea and taking out this vile nation, which has shown itself to be a grave threat to world peace and security.

What is more, the Empire shall grant the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan, portions of the former nation of Allanea, upon the successful occupation of Allanea, part and parcel of the imperial land grab that will result from this coming war.

I hope you take time to consider this proposal and do so consider it, for it's one which grants your nation a near monopoly of the illegal drugs trade and additions in land to your nation. This will boost your nation's fortune, especially after the unfortunate civil war that took place in the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan not so long ago.

May this be the start of a new and long lasting friendship between our two great and noble nations.

I am Jessica Argus, Triumvirate Council Member, Marshall of the Combined Glorious Leafanistani Air and Space Forces, and the youngest daughter of our Glorious High Father, may we one day return to his path.

Allanea is an ally. And this is a cause that I find morally reprehensible, and in grave violation of the freedoms my Father died for.

However, there is some sense in this, and while the economic insinuation that we are a major contributor to the illegal drug trade insults our Glorious Republic, there is major profit in this. Something the other two members of the Council may find interesting. Especially my older sister.

We will deliberate.

Why do you hate freedom Tomoyo?

Drug Use isn't what I consider a "freedom." I call it plain stupidity that you would mess with your internal kami (ooc: is the Japanese word for the objects of worship or awe in the Shinto faith. It's a very broad term however) and your fragile body by putting substances that do nothing but dammage. Why don't you look up freedom and find out what it truly means to have freedom. Besides that fact it takes a great ammount of poppy seeds to make opium.

What defines a drug? Caffeine is a drug, do we ban sodas? Codeine cures coughs, it is a few bad eggs that abuse them. Is it right to deny a useful drug because of the actions of a few?

Freedom is your right to do what you want to your body. But freedom ends where the bodies of others begins.

You want to mess with their 'kami' when you haven't the right.

People, it is people like this, who use their faith, their conviction, to oppress others. We must be unified in our beliefs to overthrow dictators like Tomoyo.

To: Alexander Kazansky, Allanean President, The United State of Allanea

The Empire of Pure Japan, the Imperial Government and His Excellency the Prime Minister, Prince Fumimaro Konoe, have all seen your pathetic attempt at a televised speech.

Let it be known that the Empire and our noble race do NOT take incoherent rantings trying to pass as speeches, such as your own sad attempt, with any seriousness and can only pity your nation for the fact that it is led by a inbred Russian sub-human with a drug addiction of his own. But then again what are we in the Empire to expect, and the world community of nations for that matter, from the mouth of a sub-human Russian gangster who illegitimatly poses as a head of state.

Your words, speeches and baseless threats do not scare us nor do they deflect and divert the Empire in it's upholding of the principles and values of our way of life and that of the ANTO. In fact, this incoherent rant from the Gangster in Chief of Allenea only strenghtens our convictions and our belief that our cause is both just, righteous and noble, three polar opposites to what one can say of the sub-human nation of Allanea and it's Gangster in Chief.

Take your baseless lies and threats elsewhere, to some individual or nation stupid and ignorant enough to listen to your vile 'speeches'. Or was that speech aimed at your own population, Mr. Gangster in Chief, given that no nation is as populated by racial vermin and sub-humans as your own poor excuse for a nation, given that only Allenean sub-humans would be as stupid to as take in what was said during your 'speech'.

Mr. Gangster in Chief, note this part of our message with great attention. You shall regret the day you decided to make that 'speech' of yours, most likely you decided to do it when high on your drug addiction, like any crazed criminal. The Empire has powerful contacts, whom combined make your nation's so-called military strength pitiful and pathetic and unlike your so-called military, the Empire and our powerful allies have real soldiers, true warriors of war, not drug addicts and sub-human perverts in uniform whom you call 'soldiers'.

The Empire is in discussion with nations at this time to consider what relevant actions shall be taken and NO option will not be considered.

If your nation continues on it's current path of criminality, then expect a powerful coalition of great and noble nations taking what action is deemed needed against Allanea and thus will be the day when such a coalition will have THEIR troops marching through the streets of YOUR capital city, sweeping you away into the dustbin of history where your so rightly belong.

Now don't bother us and the international community again with stories of your depravaties, drug addiction and your so-called 'speeches' trying to pass as shows of strength, which neither you nor your vile nation have.

You know, that was an ad hominem attack. It is a commonly used logical fallacy when one doesn't really have an argument. You see, just because someone isn't exactly a 'good' person doesn't make what they are saying less true. What is also apparent is that you haven't addressed a single point that any of the nations have offered without dismissing it as 'harmful' with no other explanation.

And don't try the 'there is no need for an explanation', there is always need for an explanation.

Look - we're not saying it's smart to consume battery acid. We're not advising it. What we ARE saying is that everyone in the world is free to consume what they want.

If you, the government of Kurona, have any problem with this, it would be wise to consider the purchase and/or lease of a mountain hideaway and/or hole in the ground. The forces of freedom have a very low tolerance for fascist police states, and we can no longer guarentee your safety.

There is a big diffrence in the levels of stupidy which you think. The use of drugs doesn't affect just one person, it affects a great deal of people. For the health and safety of everyone, drugs are outlawed, because the last thing I want to see is some poor child wandering the streets alone and hungry because his mother is too busy getting stoned to take proper care of them.

Last I checked outlawing harmful substances didn't make a nation a facist police state. And if the forces of "freedom" are so concerned with making sure everyone has the right to get stoned, as opposed to say-a facist dictator that executes anyone he feels like, then the world is screwed over.

[Response]

From: The Avisronite Department of State

So you don't believe in allowing your people to make their own choices? You don't allow them to learn from their own mistakes? Why do you not simply teach people from the beginning and let them decide, later, what they want to do with their own bodies?

You are impeding in the path of evolution. How about simply providing your people with a basic education and allowing the dumber of your kind to kill themselves?

Why? What benefit would that create, no benefit. As far as I belive, no one truly "owns their body." As you likely have guessed I am Shinto, so I don't belive in the Christian God, but I do belive there is some force driving the universe around. Again I would love to see how drug useage really ties in with evolution, inalienable rights and anything else to do with the greatter good of people. Sorry to say but the risks against the public far outweigh any so called "benefits." People can make their own mistakes as we can't stop every single drug user out there, but we certianlly can limit it.

We teach of the dangers of drugs anyway, so why allow it then? What's the point? Sorry but I personally don't want to be in a room full of Marijuana smoke, I personally don't want to think twice before drinking tea for fears it may be made with drug addatives, and I'm sure a majority of my nation doesn't either. I want to keep the air and skies of Kurona clean. As many of your nations are so obssesed with the word Soverignty, I belive it is my nations soverignty to chose to outlaw drugs, so if you want to threaten me as a so called "agent of freedom." Go ahead and be a hypocrite.

(ooc-Well,I was going to allie with you pure Japan to bring justice to the misguided land,yet this revelation makes me concerned for my Socialist nation and the Marxist way I explained the stopped drug flow in my nation.Please don't drag that fact and people like that.I don't wish to fight on the druggie side....)

Pure Japan will NOT be joining the ACTO now, due to Allanea being a member and I think you have noticed in THIS thread that Pure Japan and Allanea are not getting on very well, could be a war soon.

Pure Japan is a Fascist state, much like the RL Japan of the 1930/40s. However, whilst Pure Japan is anti communist, Pure Japan has NO problem with nations that are communist, were not that dogmatic and fanatical.

Pure Japan ONLY opposes communism/socialism if it tries to spread itself throughout the world with violence, like invasions and violent revolutions and terrorism etc...

Why? What benefit would that create, no benefit. As far as I belive, no one truly "owns their body." As you likely have guessed I am Shinto, so I don't belive in the Christian God, but I do belive there is some force driving the universe around. Again I would love to see how drug useage really ties in with evolution, inalienable rights and anything else to do with the greatter good of people. Sorry to say but the risks against the public far outweigh any so called "benefits." People can make their own mistakes as we can't stop every single drug user out there, but we certianlly can limit it.

We teach of the dangers of drugs anyway, so why allow it then? What's the point? Sorry but I personally don't want to be in a room full of Marijuana smoke, I personally don't want to think twice before drinking tea for fears it may be made with drug addatives, and I'm sure a majority of my nation doesn't either.

Religious Fundamentalism does not belong in government. Even though the idea of High Father is near worship, it is a mere formality. No one truly believes virulently like you do.

Caffeine is a drug, you can't 'naturally'. Still drink that tea? Remember, the right to swing your fist ends with the other person's nose. The right to throw away a pack of cigarettes ends when it belongs to someone else.

The skies darken with every car, much more than a cigarette can do.

Unless the drug contains an extreme amount of harm, like CFCs, or cocaine for little benefit, then it is banned for civilian use.

Back to sovereignty, your right to outlaw drugs is alright with me and I'm sure the audience will agree, but your right ends when someone else's sovereignty begins.

That is what this alliance is about. Destroying other nation's sovereignty.

OOC: Most of us are not ardent drug supporters. I'll never smoke, or use weed, but I'll defend someone's right to.

I mean the idea of drugs creating very powerful halucinagins frightens me, I don't want to come from a simple Cabinate Meeting and start thinking the venus plants are going to eat me, and I'm sure no one else wants to think that.

Tobacco you can quit easily with patches and a special 'vaccine', Marijuana is not physiologically addictive. And our country offers a massively supportive program for those who are addicted.

You cannot lie to protect someone without hurting them with bad knowledge. Have you read our dossier on the useful benefits of hemp? As for secularist, our nation expressly forbids using religion to justify laws.

Morality is sickening to many. It means so much. Where does morality lie in abortion, or capital punishment, or wars of invasion? Besides, morality changes from person to person. No one person has the 'best' morality, every law must have justification that isn't from some abstract 'morals' or a false god or belief system.

And your insinuation that we do drugs while making decisions is insulting to our Glorious Republican Government, and we shall not tolerate this kind of talk from a child of a nation. Besides, that is an ad hominem attack, a common logical fallacy.

As many of the substances listed in your treaty are freely-sold within the CISR, and openly traded with other countries that allow their import and export of them, any attack on any vessels flying the flag of the CISR will be treated as piracy and may possibly be met with military force.

Mafia Planning Room Xilanshan Mountain

"Why are these lights dimmed?"

"Oh, we are just turning on the last generator, we should have lights..."

The lights for the room turn on and the red emergency lights flicker off. TV screens turned on, and for a second showed a test pattern, then flickered to a map of Pure Japan. Another large screen showed a cross section of a Pure Japanese Naval Ship. Yet another screen showed a satellite map with elevation markings and labels showing major military bases visible via satellite along with red lines for major roads and blue lines for major rail lines.

"So, it is our job to ensure that this situation goes out of control. We need an incident to provoke Pure Japan, therefore, we will force their hands. As effective as RADAR is, it has a lot of trouble with sea skimming missiles. We can sink a Pure Japanese ship, a fishing trawler even. They'll chalk it up to terrorists or something, and one of our ships staffed with uneducated goons will probably sunk, and the Leafanistani registry will be discovered."

"Why Leafanistani? I'm sure there is an Alleanan ship docked somewhere, and probably could be easily stolen or copied."

"Or we can fake that registry, or even, just a flag, the registry painted over."

"Or no registry to begin with."

"Then so be it, we shall make it interesting."

95km from Pure Japanese coast

The unharassed Barbour-class supply ship went out again. The RADAR was out and about and spotted a fishing trawler.

The RADAR guided main gun targetted the trawler and opened up. The first round smashed through it without blowing up. The second exploded shearing the front off. As the men attempted to escape, another round destroyed the rear. Any men who surfaced was gunned down.

The ship continued, looking for ships to engage.

We agree completely with what the anchor out of Leafanistan is trying to get across.

The "moral-imperialism" that is being exported out of Pure Japan by the ANTO is simply sickening. The Federation of Avisron, being a completely secular state and roughly 73% atheist, is fully against any nation which makes laws based on a religion.

Mankind doesn't need invisable men in the sky, nature forces, or other ficational stories to teach us right and wrong. It is simply insulting to believe otherwise. This idea that mankind would lose all sense of "right and wrong" and behave like animals is simply a trick by organized religion to attempt to make its position stronger.

It is false. It has been proven as false. It belongs outside the political realm of any non-theocratic nation which believes in personal freedoms.

It's obvious that Kurona is, infact, a theocratic nation which believes that its massive, spawling government must poke into the daily lives of its citizens and control exactly what they consume.

Again, this isn't an argument for allowing people to smoke marijuana in public. We're talking about the personal freedom of citizens to do what they wish, to their own body, using their own funds. That's obviously more than the fascists who support the ANTO can say.

To clarify, we would fully support the ANTO as a legitimate organization if it were simply seaking to allow like-minded nations (no matter how wrong they are) who believe their populations shouldn't be allowed access to chemicals to help each other maintain law enforcement of said chemicals.

But that isn't what this organization is. It fully, and overtly states that it supports illegal piracy against foreign nationals who ARE free, by their nations laws, to transport and/or use said chemicals.

If Avisron supported the same sort of illegal morality-imperialism against nations who think differently, we would have military units inside the borders of every ANTO nation. But we don't believe that is the path to true freedom.

The Federation of Avisron will never attempt to force our sense of "morality" onto other nations, no matter how fascist they may be.

That's more than any member of ANTO can say.

OOC: Me and Avrison can't fight directly, so it is time for me to stop the diplomatic bickering and switch to devil's advocate.

Official Statement of the Crown Commonwealth of Praetonia

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/Praetonia/PraeMilitaryFlag.png

His Majesty's Government condemns in the strongest possible terms the outrageous legal jurisdiction that Pure Japan is declaring that it holds. Furthermore, His Majesty's Government affirms that no Court holds the authority to keep the King's Peace, nor to enforce the King's Justice, save a court invested with the authority of His Majesty and of His Majesty's Government.

His Majesty is insulted that a group of foreign powers believe that they have authority that outweighs His own Courts and His own Sovereign Parliament in Their own land. Praetonian law allowing the private consumption of most drugs and their lawful manufacture and export shall not be infringed either within Praetonia or in international waters. Praetonian Subjects shall remain free to do what they choose with their own bodies and with their own money, on their own private land.

His Majesty wishes to reaffirm to the signatories of the Anti-Narcotics Treaty Organisation, and any other coalitions, states or private organisations who attempt to enforce its contents, that any person or persons directly involved or complict in the unlawful attack and/or seizure of a Praetonian merchantman at sea, and who are subsequently arrested and released into the custody of the Praetonian courts, or who are interdicted by a vessel of a Praetonian law enforcement agency, the Imperial Navy or a private citizen and subsequently arrested are liable to hang for Piracy.

Let it further be known that any attack or attempted attack upon on a Praetonian merchanman by any national navy or private vessel carrying letters of marque will be interpretted as a direct and explicit act of war against His Majesty and against the Crown Commonwealth.

Let it further be known that any attack upon His Majesty's Sovereign League (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=506863) ally Allanea shall be met with immediate and overwhelming retaliation on the part of the Imperial Navy.

His Majesty's Government does not doubt for one moment Pure Japan's utter inability to stand up for one moment against the irresistable might of the Imperial Navy, and so He hopes most genuinely that no demonstration of this fact will be required, for the sake of those in Pure Japan not connected to the would-be-criminal government who would be inconvenienced by such an action. However He is firm in his commitment to the defence of Praetonia's allies and of Her Justice.

The Anti-Narcotics Treaty Organisation is an assault on sovereignty, liberty and justice. No honourable people would have any part in it.

Official Communique of the Office of the Imperial Government of the Empire of Pure Japan

From: Prince Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister of the Imperial Government and First Lord of the Privy Council of the Empire of Pure Japan
To: The International Community

It has been made obvious to me and to all, that despite the ANTO being set up and announced with the best and most sincere of intentions, I have made a grave miscalculation with regards to the response of the international community of nations.

I am deeply shocked that so many nations have such tolerence to the use of drugs by their own citizens, given the scientific evidence that beyond doubt shows the negative effects that drugs cause to those who use and consume drugs.

I am also deeply shocked that so many nations have not considered the arguement that the manufacture, trade, supply and consumption of drugs fuels organised crime organisations and also many terrorist organisation. This being fact as terrorists and criminals can only raise their revenues and sustain their funding by criminal means in the trade of illegal goods in the black market economy.

I do ask the nations of this world to tell me why. Why do you tolerate drug use, does it not scar your nation? Does it not weaken the resolve of your people and ruin their health and well being? Is it not detrimental to your nation's well being and the general peace and stability of the world community of nations?

It was NEVER my intention to seek war, conflict and hostility with the nations of this world and I still maintain that as my view.

I would like to inform the world community of nations that besides the fact that those nations who oppose the ANTO being much larger and thus more powerful than us, the Empire cannot seek war with you, for we are already in a situation where the Empire has to guard itself and may even fight against the vile threat of the Kraven Corporation, a grave and dangerous enemy of the Empire. Thus the Empire cannot afford a war with the nations of the world when the shadow of the Kraven Corporation hangs over us.

I await with much hope all and any solutions the world community of nations may provide as a way to defuse this potential conflict.

May our joint efforts and the spirit of co-operation between the Empire and the international community of nations be a blessing to all.

Official Announcement
Global Tetrahedron, Inc.

We must condemn the creation of the ANTO for economic reasons: The banning of illegal drugs has been shown to have no effect on the proliferation of illegal drugs within the nation in question, and causes an increase in the concentration of the form of the drug being taken. A prime example would the the prohibition against cocaine in the United States. Before it was made illegal under the Pure Food and Drug Act, the average cocaine addict took small doses in the form of soft drinks. After the passage of the act, cocaine switched to its more common snortable form, resulting in an increase in deaths. To prevent drug related deaths and associated crime that is rife in puritanical nations, Golbal Tetrahedron will provide, at marginal cost, low-dosage forms of many of the drugs banned under this treaty to any benevolent smugglers and drug runners; provided they are distributed into the nations in question at an extremely low cost themselves.

"It's sickining to me that you would take do-it-your self Anarcy over law and order. I said it before Morality alwyas comes first in Law. Its very easy to justify any law base in morality. I don't care how secular you are. I men is Murder Legal in your countires? How about, Rape? Maybe Stealing is too? Tell me are they legal in your country?

As far as I'm concerned it's in Human Evolution to kill and be violent, that is what secularists that teach evolution teach, because Evolution teaches what our primal instincts are. Moral-Imperialism is something made up by secularlists to strengthen their claims. Technically Kurona isn't a Theocracy, just right wing conservative. If I have to chose between fuling organized crime, terror, dysfuntional famlies, suicide, murder, crime, and keeping people safe, I'll chose to keep people safe. Last I checked "Right of consumption" Wasn't listed as an inalienable right."

[Open Message]

From: The Avisronite Department of Defense

The Federation of Avisron would like to respond to the latest message from Pure Japan.

The negative effects of drug usage which Pure Japan have listed only tend to be true and exist within societies where even light drug usage is frowned up with intense and unproportional hate.

A society such of Avisrons has been tuned to the point that drug usage isn't seen as "anti establishment." Because of this simple fact alone, drug usage is actual much lower than some nations where it is "outlawed" entirely.

Further, there is no fueling of organized crime from the Avisronite drug industry. The producers are primarily large, national corporations which must pay taxes and meet strict reporting guidelines. Drugs are sold in any pharmacy and can even be bought off the internet. This completely eliminates the need for shady characters to transport the drugs.

As you can see, this is far from a simple decision to "allow" drugs or not. Your society must be geared for certain things.

Moreso, we do not care if you threaten the Federation of Avisron, or if you threaten nations smaller than yourself. You are still threatening the national sovereignty of someone. Avisron, and apparently other members of the international community, will not tolerate that.

"It's sickining to me that you would take do-it-your self Anarcy over law and order. I said it before Morality alwyas comes first in Law. Its very easy to justify any law base in morality.

From: The Avisronite Department of State

Murder, rape, and stealing are all highly punishable crimes within the Federation of Avisron. However, not because a magical myth told us so. Because murder, rape, and theft are all examples of one entity impeding on the personal rights and/or space of another individual.

The same can be said for your government legislating morality to its citizens.

Prime Minister's office, Imperial Diet, Tokyo, Pure Japan.

As the prime minister's car drove into the courtyard of the Imperial Diet and parked by the entrance of the prime minister's office, the personal secretary of Prince Fumimaro Konoe, Ahari Kobe, was standing and waiting on the steps of the entrance, holding in his hands a file.

As Fumimaro got out of his car and saluted the Imperial Diet guards, Ahari went up to the prime minister and urged him to go straight to his office and read the file, which was a decree from the Emperor himself.

Upon hearing this, Fumimaro gave Ahari a stern but bewildered look, for the Emperor had never issued a decree on his own will since Fumimaro had taken office and it had been over ten years since the Emperor had last issued a decree.

Fumimaro and Ahari went straight to the office and Fumimaro took his seat and opened the file, all the while Ahari stood in front of the prime minister's desk and watched as Fumimaro read the decree.

Emperor Showa had issued a decree that would overule and veto the prime minister's policy with regards to the ANTO and the manufacture, trade, supply and consumption of the illegal drugs that were prohibited under the ANTO charter. Given the status of the Emperor as both absolute in his power of laws and politics and his status as a living God and a Divine descendent of the Sun Godess, Ameratsu, the Emperor's decree, once signed could not be overturned by either the prime minister or the Imperial Diet.

Fumimaro looked up at Ahari, after he finished reading the decree.

Fumimaro: "As I am under oath to uphold the Emperor Showa's will, I cannot do anything but obey this, inform the Imperial Government and all ministers of the decree. I myself shall make a televised address to the nation and I shall issue a communique to the international community to announce the dissolution of the ANTO and the edicts of the Imperial Decree."

Ahari: "Very well your Excellency, I shall have the Imperial Cabinet arranged to hold a meeting with you in one hours time."

OOC: Can Avrison and Kurona have a war? I won't be in it as it seems unfair, but I'd sell weapons to Kurona to help even the odds.

Official Communique of the Office of the Imperial Government of the Empire of Pure Japan

From: Prince Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister of the Imperial Government and First Lord of the Privy Council of the Empire of Pure Japan
To: The International Community

The Empire of Pure Japan announces the dissolution of the Anti Narcotics Treaty Organisation (ANTO).

All member nations of the ANTO are to reconise this dissolution and as of now, they will be obligated to carry out their own policies with regards to the issue of drugs, as their sovereign nations see fit.

The reason for the dissolution of the ANTO, is an expression of the will of His Divine Imperial Majesty, the Emperor Showa Hirohito, as expressed in an Imperial Decree.

This Imperial Decree overpowers and stands above all legislative and policy powers of the Office of the Prime Minister, the Imperial Government and the Imperial Diet, as all are beholden to the absolute will of His Divine Imperial Majesty.

His Divine Imperial Majesty believes that the Empire must concentrate all of it's efforts, politically, diplomatically, economically and in terms of defence and military policy, on the grave and vile threat of the Kraven Corporation and thus any diversions to that objective are to be avioded.

At this moment in time, the Kraven Corporation is organising an all out invasion of huge proportions against the nation of Southeast Asia, which is a nation that is located in our region of the world and thus the presence of the Kraven Corporation poses a risk to our nation and our way of life and this presence must be fought at all costs.

As of now, the Empire shall NOT sponsor, support, join or otherwise assist ANY international organisation that aims to counter or eradicate the manufacture, supply, trade or consumption of drugs, be this organisation ANTO or any other said organisation.

His Divine Imperial Majesty is also of the opinion that the Empire's internal policy with regards to the prohibition of drugs is a policy that shall be overturned and changed. His Divine Imperial Majesty wishes to utilise the economic benefits that can be made from a controlled drugs economic sector, to further assist in the development and growth of the economy of the Empire, thus meeting the Empire's objective of sustained economic growth and wealth.

In the coming days, the Empire shall announce the creation of a state owned corporation that will assist in the transition from the prohibition of drugs to a controlled economy based upon the legal and government supervised manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of drugs. This shall enusre that NO criminal elements or ANY terroristic or subversive elements shall have ANY involvement in the manufacture, supply, trade and consumption of drugs within the economy of the Empire.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF DAYTANISTAN

To: The Ministry of Trade, the Empire of Pure Japan

On behalf of the Supreme Daytan People's Council, with whose authority I write this letter, and in response to His Divine Imperial Majesty Emperor Showa's enlightened decision, about to be implemented by your government, to permit a legal, regulated narcotics sector to develop in the Empire of Pure Japan, I congratulate the Imperial Government and write to enquire about the possibility of fostering the development of trade ties between our nations.

Daytanistan's poppy crops produce significant quantities of export quality raw opium which would be suitable for refinement for narcotics purposes, not to mention the obvious value of the poppy seeds for inclusion in breads of different varieties. Favourable terms of trade could be arranged such that Pure Japan could import Daytan opium at lower prices than any other source, if certain undertakings were made as to sales volume. There are many advantages to purchasing poppy-produce from Daytanistan, and I hope that you will consider them and respond if you find our offer interesting.

We are one of the Federation of Avisrons primary 'chemical happiness' manufacturing organizations. Our products range from units such as raw opium and cocaine to "designer" drugs that have been genetically engineered to produce certain qualtities.

Given that you are just now starting to allow drug usage in your nation, we would like to make you an offer. We will help you keep control of your drug market by producing whatever you wish outside of your own country. You won't have to pay security to guard the opium fields at night.

Also, we have much more experience in growing and/or producing a wide range of chemicals. We will be able to flood your market with them much faster than you can produce them yourself.

We hope you take our proposition into consideration.

The Republic of Kanami finds the change by Pure Japan a weak and sad give in to a few hypocrites that self-proclaim themselves as "democracies." In reality a democracy is a Governemnt that represents the ideals of their people their culture and society. If they so chose to legalize drugs, which in its self is already a stupid move, as all research proves these substances are very dangerous and harmful, they can so do so, if the people as a mass chose that. However if the people so chose to keep drugs outlawed, than it should be that so, as that is what the people chose, and they as democratic nations should respect that as it is hardly any abuse of any rights or privliages, compared to outlawing or heavily restricting the practice of religion (As many of these so-called democracies do) or face potental death at random from their leader (as in dictatorships) For example, Kanami has a strict ban on Drugs which was enacted in 1965 by way of ballot. Thus the people chose that. However Kanami can't stand by and watch these things being shipped in illegally to our borders and it does pain us to watch others slowly kill themselves. Thus Kanami withdraws it's application.

As I have read through the argument, many of you while you did provide good points, you never could answer what is the benefit of legalizing substances that are so harmful to not only one, but many others other than a false ideal of a drop in crime. Crime never drops as a result of drug legalization nor illegalization, the nature just changes.




32% of workers stated a co-workers drug/alcohol use effected their job performance. When an employee is impaired on the job, the company has not only lost one productive employee, but in fact has dramatically reduced the productivity of all the other workers who they interact with. Drug use in the work place has a ripple effect. Not only is productivity



30% of semi-tractor trailer truck drivers involved in fatal accidents test positive for drugs. Most frequent drug abused by drivers are central nervous system stimulant drugs such as crystal meth-amphetamines, ("speed"), and cocaine. You might be surprised that the LEAST likely drug found is alcohol! Professional truck drivers know employers and the police are good at spotting the symptoms of alcohol impairment. They also realize most employers and ever some police officers have difficulty spotting illicit drug use.


Impact of employee drug use: workers who reported current illicit drug use were more likely to have worked for three or more employers in the past year and to have higher rates of unexcused absence and voluntary turnover in the past year than those who did not report drug use.

When you lose two brothers to drugs and a sister to a drunk driver, we'll talk.

The CISR supports Pure Japan's new stance. Ending drug prohibition creates a new stream of taxation while removing a significant source of income from organized crime. The mob needs vice rackets, legalize 'vice' and they quickly lose power and influence.

Increased quality control on legally sold recreational drugs, as well purity controls improve safety for users and significantly decrease overdoses.

We hope to assist in any way possible with your new venture.

The use of drugs have the exact same benefits as any other form of entertainment.

They provide a way to pass the time. They distract people from all the stress in their life. It's a way to rest the mind as well as the body.

You can find the exact same benefits in videogames, music, television, movies, games, books, and any number of other entertainment items.

Do you believe we should ban videogames because someone might get strained eyes? Music because they might get a headache?

Further, the numbers you provided are not accurate, in any sense of the word, to Avisron. Our drug use is relatively low. Your numbers are irrelevant and prove nothing.
