"Holy crap! From the fire to the frying pan! And I mean nuclear frying pan Menez! We should offer all those poor sods across a better option than that underdeveloped and countless times massacred hellhole called... hey Gonzales! It's not their fault they were that unlucky in geopolitics, plus don't mention it because this is being recorded! Shut down the damn recorder!"

*Click*, the recorder is shut down.

"Good, so you know what Gonzales? Everybody is sick as hell of being sorted to do the jobs nobody wants to do, right?... yes, you told me about that day you were sorted as a volunteer to clean toilets, I know... yes, we also have a so large quantity of universities that everybody wants to stay the hell out of the assembly line boring labor, but we a are still far away from full automation, because all those artificial intelligence researches will still take some good decades for that. But few know about us as a haven for the oppressed... so there are not enough immigrants to clean the sewers... no Gonzales! It's not exploitation because for example, in the sewer cleaning cooperative, the clean-sewers receives the same monthly payment than a manager according to an equal share of their final profits for each, it's just... nobody wants jobs like those despite being as well-paid as for the ones that use brains rather than brawns, but we need people for them, and people are getting pissed off and starting to refuse to accept taking those roles..."

"Menez, you are right, if nothing is done this will blow in a serious crisis and our economy will stop. And forcing someone to do those dirty services is something that would break our ideals!..."

"Yes Menez, so the best way to promote immigration is by announcing we open our arms to immigrants and refugees from political persecution, except of course when these "political victims" are just corrupt politician scum, but what if some smartass criminal decides to go in?"

"Then instead of opening arms, we just open fire on them instead, but I think nobody but an idiot would like to run for a nation where practically every citizen is armed and has both the right and is encouraged to shoot criminals caught red-handed on sight"

"Look at this Gonzales! Seems like the EDDNet just approved it with near unanimity! Nobody wants to do those jobs, really!"

"Yes, now I guess it's time to make the announcement... both official and unofficial lines. And remember to limit its reach as much as possible but just enough for us to have enough people who can take the 'bad jobs'"

Third Spanish States Diplomatic Network Announcement

Selective free borders policy is now partially known in global stage

(UPDATE: Our density is already high, new policies have been approved and enacted through referenda to improve our gene pool)

The Confederacy has long transcended the status of nation to become an internationalist entity, despite having its own cultural traits. There are no limits based on birthplace or family roots regarding who can apply to become a full citizen of the Confederacy, neither borders are closed for those truly seeking to embrace the anarchist ideals which shape its decentralized structure by voluntarily choosing to participate in a free market or in a communist political unit, also known as commune, or for honest people seeking to escape from tyranny and oppression across the globe which should only logically embrace the true counterpart of tyranny: absolute freedom. However, with absolute freedom comes absolute responsibility, a phrase which every single inhabitant of the Confederacy has knowledge of, something which explains pretty well how absolute freedom and absolute responsibility are more than a mere motto, they are what separates life from death, for there is no justification at all for jails and alike, but people have the legitimate right of defending their lives from assailants using lethal force, if necessary or justifiable for the gravity of the crime the assailant attempted to do.

Thus let it be announced that all are welcome to join the Confederacy's anarchist dream, with three conditions applied:


No previous criminal file*
Will to work to support local neo-mutualist free markets by joining one of many cooperatives or communist collectives, according to voluntary choice of preferred economic system.
Must preferably pass on the citizenship application tests(IQ, EQ and morality).


*Registers like "sedition" don't count

The major advantages of choosing to immigrate to the Anarchist Confederacy are:


A safe, mostly peaceful nation with a quite stable geopolitical situation and a wise, well-planned diplomatic corps.
A fair, decentralized socialist economic model* without the bureaucratic nature of planned economies
Working in a cooperative you'll always have a fair share of profits, regardless of your primary function.
A direct democratic, highly decentralized social organization which allows the immigrant to participate in a true democracy while not suffering under possible "tyranny by the majority".
Massive civil liberties**
No Taxes at all, as most of public infrastructure is funded by locally purchased consumer goods from cooperatives, complemented by voluntary work.
The right to create your own political unit in the form of a fully politically independent commune of close-by immigrants, if you would like to.
State-of-the-art Information Technology and Telecommunications.
University access for everyone.
One of the highest Human Development Indexes of the world
No poverty and a highly developed, rich and dynamic, but fair economy.
Voluntary Liberal Eugenics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_eugenics) program allows you to have designer babies free of charge


*A few cities, like the Enclave, have, with their legitimate people's right of democratic controls over economic organization, decided to embrace a fully capitalist free market instead.
**Do not include "human rights" for thugs.

Among many other advantages, for the Confederacy final goal is no final goal, for utopia is not a goal, but the motivation to continually improve mankind, for we focus on social and human progress by motivating humane, cooperative elements to the cultural values while promoting the improvement of the gene pool through liberal eugenics programs and incentives and resources for everybody to reach their fullest potential.

However, as an important notice, the Confederacy shall not become a dump for corrupt politicians, dictators who fled after failing coup d'etat attempts or similar scum, and following our issues with density, we have decided to be more selective on who we choose to be accepted, and only the most intelligent, emotionally stable, honest and good-willed people of the world shall be accepted for permanent residence in our borders, with the two latter aspects being the most important. By entering the Confederacy you are automatically assuming responsibility for your both current and previous acts and, should your crimes be heinous enough justify lethal action, any citizen would have then the legitimate right to kill you, just like they have the legitimate right of carrying any firearm of any caliber they want. We also do not believe in the tale of the "regenerated murderer" and will make no exceptions for this category.

Now, regarding foreign nations interested in transporting "undesirables" you must respect some rules should you decide to sign an accord for it, rules made both for your own convenience and to allow safety and avoid any possible incident.

First, like mentioned we will not accept thugs, but only political prisoners and activists with potential to be great men here. Likewise, there will be no exceptions to this rule.

Second, we shall send and afford the transport costs to lift them to our nation to further motivate this policy, should you authorize it, and all shall pass under local medical checks before embarking to their travel to the Confederacy. We will not accept transport of prisoners to our nation through your own airlifts, and this is in fact an advantage for you, for it shall cut transport costs you would have otherwise.

Third, more of a notice of importance than anything, our airspace is heavily regulated and operates under its own laws, for any aircraft under Confederacy airspace must consent to accept its jurisdiction before going through it, which will bring no consequences for those who are honest exporters, but allows a more efficient way of combating contraband. To avoid inconveniences and shipping costs we have decided to add the second rule mentioned before.

With these aspects mentioned, we hope to have an effective, reliable and trustworthy relationship with the international community.

(OOC: Mostly Open except for:


I don't have a finished military(designs, structure, usual strategic-tactical doctrine, etc.) for roleplaying, so if you are just looking to provoke a war, skip this thread, there are definitively others where you will find it.
Like mentioned ICly, it'll be a heavily regulated process. This won't be a "Ahoy POW Dump!" sort of immigration process, and I did it basically as a way to explain how a heavily academic nation like Third Spanish States keeps its economy running.

(OOC: Any similarities with Vault City's "citizenship test" in Fallout 2 are mere coincidences.)

Following the popularity of the eugenics ideas proposed by new Head of State, coupled with the increase on population density, new demands have been applied for those seeking citizenship in the Confederacy. Immigration tests shall be given to measure the moral, emotional and intellectual capability of would-be immigrants, and the best shall be welcome with open hands. Others might still have a chance, if there is no problem on accepting probably the rest of their lives as dish washers, sewer cleaners, janitors and alike.

There is no place here for scum or retards" - Cecily Lockhelm, in private communication supposedly captured by obscure tabloid nobody believes at, under the authorship of someone who supposedly has a degree in journalism, but who wasn't sufficiently bad to end as a game "journalist" praising over-hyped crappy computer and video games.
