The Commonwealth of Akiria

[Drogue]

Due to the growing population of Apolyton, the people of Akiria feel that everyone should know a bit about its founder.

Akiria is a lush and green land, and is widely known for its exquisite beauty. It is a free land with a rapidly growing population, currently at 7 million. We believe in freedom, equality and meritocracy, and as such place large emphasis on social welfare, health and education. We have as low a tax rate as we can, while still having wonderful public facilities, and specialise in defensive weaponry, hi-tech industry, and the noble past-time of fishing.

We have recently passed laws giving the right to die with dignity, a media free from intervention, and a democracy free from corporations paying their way to power.

We have many doves, our symbol of peace, and our main aim is to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction through non-violent means. Our motto is "If we have no peace, we have nothing to fight for".

Akiria is also standing for the post of UN delegate for Apolyton. Please visit and, endorse us if you wish, here

[GeneralTacticus]

I must commend the leadership of the Commonwealth of Akiria for their wise policies in promoting social equality and general public well-being, and I extend my support to them in their bid to become the Apolytonian Regional Delegate to the UN.

[Drogue]

My thanks. I must also congratulate my esteemed friend from Centralis on his policies on drugs, social welfare and nudity As such, Centralis has received my endorcement for the UN. If however, he does not wish to stand for delegate, and as such does not want endorsing, I will withdraw it.

[GeneralTacticus]

We are honoured that the Commonwealth of Akiria is prepared to support us for Regional Delegate, and although we did not intend to seek it for ourselves, we quite happy to accept the position if we are elected. Please maintain your endorsement, and we shall see who is most popular among the nations of Apolyton.

[Drogue]

High praise from such a noble leader. I will try to hold up the ideals of peace and people's rights, but feel I cannot counter endorse The Peoples Republic of the Sovietskii Soyuz, for their belief in compulsory military service, few civil rights and an all-pervasive police force. However I commend their comittment to healthcare and education.

[Mr. President]

Though Karakas currently has no plans to join the United Nations, we look forward to working with Akiria within the Apolyton region.

While there are some in the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Alien Races who feel that the region's delegate should stand broadly in the middle of the political barometer so that the conservative nations of our region are not under-representated, the Prime Minister is in full support of the Commonwealth of Akiria's bid to represent Apolyton in the United Nations, as he believes that Akiria will do an honorable job in protecting human and civil rights.

[Drogue]

I agree, and I believe I am relatively in the middle, economically speaking. I do not want crippling taxes, nor a command economy. However, I do want good public services, free state education and healthcare and good social services. That is all internal though. For the UN, I want civil rights, political freedom, equality and most importantly peace. And of course, I want to raise the profile of Apolyton

[Frozzy]

I, the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Pasiphae has given his support to Akiria, as I believe that Akiria will supposrt and listen to the region of Apolyton.

[Drogue]

My thanks. Akiria will try to do what is best for all Apolyton.

In Akiria's timezone, it is now after 4 in the morning, and even its leader needs some sleep, so I'm singing off for the night

[H Tower]

why don't we have a single thread where each member may have one post where they can talk about their country, with the first post being an index linking to all of the posts?

Landovia adds itself to the list of Akiran endorsers.

[GeneralTacticus]

The Prime Minister of Centralis would like to congratulate the leader of the Commonwealth of Akiria on it's election as Regional UN Delegate for Apolyton.

[GeneralTacticus]

I would have thought that the Sovietskii Soyuz, of all nations, would appreciate the value of freedom and corporate non-involvment in politics over 'economic growth'.

[GeneralTacticus]

You can show your support for a candidate by voting for them, not by employing what amounts to legalized bribery. To permit private donations allows allows wealthy individuals to dmoniate the political process by funding candidates who will further their own interests - which results in an increase in social inequality, thereby giving the wealthy an even greater share of political power and at the same time impoverishing the masses.
