Full Nation Name: The Commonwealth of Grand Islands

Leader: Xavier III

In your own words, define communism: An economic system in which the government controls all trade.

In your own words, define capitalism: An economic system where private businesses trade amongst each other.

Why do you wish to sign this treaty: Because stpidity is rampant in current civilization, in such ways as abusing the legal system and rednecks.

In your own words, define stupidity: The state of mind in which someone will do something that others would find absurd.

OOC: I would amend the spelling of alliance in your title, particularly as this is an alliance AGAINST stupidity.

Other than that, an interesting idea!

From Grigor Savornaz
Your first response was an acceptance, if you think I didn't notice.

If this has anything to do with the law we passed shortly after applying, let me make a direct quote from the treaty's premble

We shall not exclude any nation on the basis of religion, political or economical ideologies, creed, wealth, freedom, or strength.

In your own words, define stupidity: Stupidity is a form of being that occurs when one does not use one's brain and leaves those who do use their brains to scratch their heads and wonder why the hell one is doing what one does.

To CLAS

We fear stupidity may now be rising partly due to a toxoplasmosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis#Latent_toxoplasmosis) epidemic which has occured throughout most of Godhaven, and the world. To combat stupidity we suggest finance some time and funding into eliminating this epidemic. It is merely a suggestion, we only present this information to you in hopes that it will benefit your cause. The choice is yours to make.
