Dipster Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 [Quote][B]Republic of Sumatra Declaration of Fortitude[/b] The Republic of Sumatra declares itself to be a vanguard of Libertarian ideals and a champion of individual freedom. It is imperative that a citizen of this nation be allowed to pursue his own destiny and make his own choices so long as they do not harm or infringe on the rights of others. The duties of the Republican government are to protect its citizens from coersion, both foreign and domestic, and to represent our citizens abroad on the international stage. The Republic commits to uphold individual liberty and to maintain tenets of limited government. It is not our government's place to interfere in the personal lives of Sumatran citizens, or dictate social or cultural codes. The Republic commits to a policy of of laissez-faire capitalism for the economy. Citizens will be in control of their social and economic destinies. The Republic commits to providing religious freedom to all citizens. Considering the wide array of ethnic and religious groups and Libertarian philosophy, it would be a great disservice to the Sumatran people to chart any other course on the subject. Universal suffrage will be granted to all citizens of the proper age, ragardless of race, religion, gender, orientation or creed. The issue of marriage has nothing to do with the domains of governance. Marriage is a religious (or non-religious) institution and the government commits to a hands-off policy when it comes to the subject. It is up to religious institutions on and individual basis to qualify or disqualify marriages based on their individual beliefs. The Republic commits to championing its populace on the international stage and always act in the best interest of the Sumatran people and their liberties when conducting foreign policy. With this, we go forward. Every man to make his own destiny, but working in concert to drive this nation to greatness and prosperity through international cooperation and domestic freedom. [/quote] We are pleased to to make diplomatic contact with Noveria and Ceylon. Once our affairs are in order we would be happy to facilitate exchange. OOC: Translation: I will post a more substantive response to your diplomatic queries later tonight haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
