“Away in a Manger”
Away in a manger,
No crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

— What these lyrics really mean: Bethlehem’s lack of affordable housing creates homeless children, including impoverished infants.

“All I Want for Christmas is You”
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There’s just one thing I need.
I don’t care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree.

— What these lyrics really mean: The proletariat is starting to revolt and is rejecting boorish materialism.

“Do You Hear What I Hear?”
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know
A child, a child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold.

— What these lyrics really mean: Capitalism demands that we turn over our wealth to the ruling class.

“Frosty the Snowman”
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal.

— What these lyrics really mean: Frosty desperately needs a single-payer health care system since he can’t afford a normal nose and eyes. Big tobacco has also turned him into a helpless drug addict (the crack pipe is unspecified).

“God Rest ‘Ye Merry Gentlemen”
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay;
Remember Christ, our savior,
Was born on Christmas day.

— What these lyrics really mean: There’s no mention of women “resting.” Only gentlemen get to loaf around the house. Women are required to do all the work around the holidays and even work overtime. Gender discrimination is rampant.

“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn’t see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
Up in my bedroom fast asleep.

— What these lyrics really mean: Lack of community services and proper government oversight creates a voyeuristic child destined for adulthood perversion.

“I’ll be home for Christmas”
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

— What these lyrics really mean: Poor public transportation systems and lack of infrastructure creates heartache around the holidays caused by separation of family members.

“Jingle Bells”
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

— What these lyrics really mean: The evils of capitalism lead to a terrible situation — a lone horse pulling a heavy sled in freezing temperatures — in other words, animal abuse.

“Little Drummer Boy”
Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
I played my drum for him
I played my best for him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then he smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

— What these lyrics really mean: Child labor practices are encouraged during the holidays. Stressed-out child musician receives no compensation, other than a smile.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph,
Play in any reindeer games….
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say.
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

— What these lyrics really mean: Within free-market economies, minorities face institutionalized mass discrimination and are often exploited for their unique talents and characteristics.

“Santa Baby”
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I’ve been an awful good girl….
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue….
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that’s
Not a lot.
I’ve been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

— What these lyrics really mean: Here’s selfish consumerism at its absolute worst. A young girl is taught to covet a sable coat, a yacht, and blue convertible. Moreover, she demands he bring all the gifts down the chimney, not tomorrow, but tonight!

“Santa Claus is Coming to Town”
He sees you when you’re sleeping,
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows if you’ve been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!

— What these lyrics really mean: Constitutional protections and individual civil liberties have been annihilated under capitalism.

“The 12 Days of Christmas”
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking,
Seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French Hens,
Two turtle doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree.

— What these lyrics really mean: “On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love’s credit cards were all maxed out and she declared bankruptcy.”

“White Christmas”
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.

— What these lyrics really mean: Racism, plain and simple.

Good King Wenceslas

One does not have to read Oscar Wilde's The Soul of Man under Socialism when the inherant hypocrisy of charity is laid so very bare here. Where was the Good King when his own tax collectors impoverished this poor man to pay for foreign wars? We can only hope that the poor of this terrible tyrant's kingdom take note from the French when it comes to dealing with aristocracy.

It is more efficient than the state, but instead of helping with the resources it is creating a population of consumerists and materialistic who spends money on useless things. We produce more than we need and we waste a lot forgetting that the resources are finite. Capitalism isnt evil or bad, we are lucky that we achieved it as we are still alive thanks to it, it is working, but it depends on our action if we want to use it to change the world in a better place or to be ignorant and consume , destroying our world and the finite amount of resources. We need to rationalize the use of things and not let us to be controlled by impulses promoted by corporations. In theory a free market supposed to help people, you do a good service and receive money, you profit, the consumer profits, even the environment. But sadly it isnt the case in the present. Government is a big mistake, a relique of the past, thieves who are controlled by people with money, untrustworthy and especially corrupted and inefficent. The best way is to use the free market and help change the world. Building a company, making money and then donate to the private charity and teach other about this issues.

Stickmin wrote:If you think it's tSP and not TSP you are truly the worst of the worst.

Absolutely! have we learned nothing from our history?


A number of drama llamas were killed as native nations loyal to Delegate-elect Erinor stormed the strategic
Delegate Cabana. With several hours until the next WA update, they have begun fortifying their position with a
massive street barricade.

Erinor loyalists in The South Pacific have secured a major milestone to oust holdout Delegate Tsunamy from the Delegate Cabana, unnamed TSP sources say.

Today the Erinor loyalists made significant gains against Tsunamy's forces. Erinor has continued to gain endorsements since winning the Delegate election 11 days ago, clinching victory in the key final round of delegate elections after a strong push by Beepee insurgents.

During today's offensive, local citizen militia members used rocks, bottles and endorsements to break down the door of the Delegate Cabana and blockade the streets, military sources say.

The capture of the cabana should give Erinor's forces the power of the TSP delegacy, assuming they can hold their position through tonight's update.

This advance has reportedly forced Delegate Tsunamy to flee to the regional offsite forums.

Why is there fighting in The South Pacific?

The so called "t-rebels" known as tSP-ers, backed by forces loyal to the outgoing Delegate, took over parts of The South Pacific, and forced the government into a plebiside to determine the preferred regional capitalization convention: the South Pacific (tSP) or The South Pacific (TSP). Upper case T loyalists won the vote by almost two thirds of the electorate, but some t-rebels refused to acknowledge the vote and defiantly continued to not capitalize the T.

The t-rebels accused the T loyalists of corruption and began to drown the region with hugs and floof roleplays. Forces loyal to the capitalized T began fighting back, leading to a shocking rise in RMB stabbings and robust demand for Revive-o-matic Services and Death Ray Guns.

After the Delegate election 11 days ago lower case tSPer's ignored the vote and stubbornly refused to boost the endorsement count of the new Delegate-elect. Upper case TSPers rallied and sporadic fighting broke out on the RMB. As drama llama's rampaged the countryside a core group of peasant workers and student intellectual TSPers created a citizen militia movement under the banner of delegate-elect Erinor to put down the tSPer influence once and for all.

As revolutionary fervor has gripped the region, numerous reworkings of musical numbers and disco classics have graced the RMB. Thankfully, rap battles have not gained any traction.

This is a fluid situation, and we will provide breaking news as it develops.

hmmm ...

The World Court Of Roswaesia (WC) is "already dead to us" Minister of Defence & Security Alastair Dickson told Parliment. "Volaworand will," he said, "resist the court by any means necessary."

Why would the new Duncan Government take such a hard line against "the world's court of last resort"? Founded in the wake of The sakhalinsk empire and Techolandia's wars, the international body was supposed to try evildoers who would otherwise escape justice due to broken legal systems in failed states.

Opposing the court is not a new position for Volaworand or Minister Dickson. The Hovland Governement refused to sign the court's implementing treaty, contending that it would lead to trials of soldiers and spies by a politically turbo-charged body located in Roswaesia. At the time, many South Pacific leaders opposed Prime Minister Hovland's war on terror, including the internment of enemy aliens at Marambio and Esperanza. Minister Dickson warned, when the formation of body was first being imposed on the region, that it would be ineffective, unaccountable and overly political. Volaworand chose to remain isolated and outside this courts jurisdiction over the internal affairs of South Pacific nations.

Now, Volaworand intelligence agents may face charges for activities in Techganet and elsewhere. While Volaworand is not a signatory of the treaty or decrees of , Techganet apparently is, and the court claims jurisdiction over any actions taken there. If the WC begins prosecuting Volaworandian "crimes" abroad, commanders will temper their battle plans, soldiers will become gun-shy and civilians will refuse to serve. Volaworand's sovereign right to defend itself will be weakened. Midand is also expected to be another target, as they appear to have agreed to the court's jurisdiction and have been credibly accused of using chemical weapons to assassinate Volaworand's Prime Minister. Meanwhile, without any evidence or fair process in place, the WC has apparently already convicted Volaworand without a trial. They have encouraged numerous nations to erect internet firewalls based on unsubstantiated and unverified internet leaks and make wild claims about Volaworand's military being in far flung corners of the world in a blatant attempt to escalate some old news into an military conflict in order to justify their relevance. Volaworand will not accede one iota of national sovereignty to this undemocratic and unelected body.

In practice, the World Court Of Roswaesia is a failed experiment.

Its trials appear selective and political. While the court has received more than 10,000 written complaints referring to 139 countries, according to the Polar Research Centre, it has focused its prosecutions exclusively on polar nations. The only investigation in progress, relates to Technolandia's complaints filed against Volaworand. This leads to the all-too-easy accusation that the court is racist, neo-colonialist or, in the words of one Polar writer, "tropical justice for polar nations." Following the Antarctic Covenant summit, Imperial Antarctica Prime Minister Richard C. Harvey denounced the court as a "racial hunt". While these charges are hyperbolic, the court's selective and unfair prosecutions have undermined its credibility among polar citizens.

As a result, South Pacific nations are pulling out. Deusutopia, Aequalitate, and New Front have essentially withdrawn from the WC and it seems Nova Montron and Hanguk-Nippon are joining them to stampede for the exit. Auphelia seems to happily ignore the WC completely.

The WC likes to refer to itself as the world's court, but it represents fewer and fewer of world's nations. Volaworand, Midand, Hanguk-Nippon and Nova Montron have never posted ratifications of the court's imposition on the region. Technolandia itself has openly criticized the WC as "unfair" and implied it was corrupt. The Sakhalinsk Empire has encouraged leaving the court's jurisdiction en masse. It appears only Deumontiverland, the host nation, recognizes the WC's authority.

The court's leaders have, in addition, not held themselves to particularly high standards. Chief prosecutor Roswaesian diplomacy, defended thier unquestioned ability to unilaterally change the military access codes of a sovereign nation, saying that nations own internal security measures were insufficient. Such a wildly inappropriate massive intrusion in national sovereignty hardly inspires confidence.

Even worse for the court's credibility are the allegations brought by Hanguk-Nippon, leader of the Praiano Concordat’s (a alternate forum to the WC), that the world court has never held official democratic voting or transparently released records on any case, allegations that deserve an impartial review.

The World Court is a noble ideal but a flawed institution. Far better to encourage nations to develop their own courts that are accountable to the victims and free from charges of selective enforcement or foreign intervention. Volaworand's Truth and Reconciliation Commission -- a government body subject to oversight by the people's representatives -- has heard hard cases and delivered judgements respected across the political spectrum. This institution aims to rehabilitate victims, and pay compensation for state outrages against them.

That method would be a better model for the South Pacific than a court funded and run from Roswaesia.

EDITORS NOTE: Kamla Patelwill is Volaworand's Minister of External Affairs, currently presenting our nations case at the World Court. In an unprecedented break with parliamentary tradition, she has written this op-ed publicly disagreeing with her cabinet college.


Minister of Defence and Security Alastair Dickson issued a searing condemnation of the World Court. Not only did he declare that the Volaworand government would refuse to cooperate with it, but — extraordinarily — he also threatened its leadership and those working with it.

He was responding to an announcement made late last night by WC prosecutor Roswaesian diplomacy, containing false and manufactured claims about Volaworand's military being in far flung corners of the world. Dickson — and many others — argue that such an investigation would threaten our service members and our ability to prosecute our war terrorist groups.

That view couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity to use the court to strengthen our fight against terrorists as well as our overall national security. And we can do this while still protecting our national sovereignty and military and intelligence personnel.

International law protects not only noncombatants, but also our own military forces. We, in Volaworand, helped strengthen it after the South Pacific Cold War. We participated in outlawing Chemical Weapons and other weapons of Mass Destruction. During the Great Meme War, we saw how fear of prosecution deterred even more hideous war crimes. I know, because I was part of this effort.

It was only natural that many nations would come together to seek a permanent investigatory and judicial arm that could further deter and restrain the horrors of warfare between or within nations. This was the World Court. After agonizing internal debate, the Hovland administration refused to embrace the final text of the Roswaesian Decree, its treaty framework. Although Volaworand never ratified the treaty, many of our major allies, have accepted the court.

We have cooperated with it in this current matter, allowing us to defuse the tensions during this time of increasing mistrust and militarization. And there is no doubt that the reach of the court’s jurisdiction has restrained conflict, whatever the difficulties that emerged in applying clean legal procedures to the nasty violence and ugly strategies of warfare.

Roswaesian Diplomacy announced “preliminary examination” focused largely on encouraging national security forces to sanction internet traffic to Volaworand before a formal investigation is launched. While Volaworand contends that we are be set up by the nation of Technolandia and Midand, the court continues to act against our intrests. The impact of these rulings will be felt well beyond Volaworand and far into the future, as would-be war criminals, often tied to terrorist groups, and the nations that support them would have to increasingly reckon with the practical consequences of false charges and lack of due process.

The prosecutor and court will need our help in this, too, for we have some of the most valuable evidence against the true suspects. And by cooperating, we can help strengthen the power of international action against terrorists and their supporters, in particular. Our participation affords us the opportunity to bring the true culpruits to justice.

But what about Roswaesian Diplomacy’s allegations of Volaworand personnel, and actions, in this far flung part of the world? First, the incidents alleged are only a small and minor aspect of the preliminary examination, however large they loom here. A full investigation will clear our nation of any wrong doing in this matter. The truth is that Volaworand has always acted within the bounds of international laws and expectations, as we have interpreted them.

Second, the Roswaesian Decree allows prosecutors to refrain from indictments if there are substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice. In other words, the court does not have to act if it believes that the countries implicated can take their own measures to deliver justice.

In line with this, Volaworand has already to established its own “Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” operating under highly credible procedures under our law, inviting international observers while protecting our classified sources and procedures. The truth commission would provide a channel for admitting mistakes where they occurred and providing restitution to victims where it is warranted. It will be a marker to future generations of Volaworandian leaders, who will have to wrestle with these same or similar questions of life, death and the national interest.

It may surprise some that the World Court challenge in our current situation provides us with precisely the means we need to strengthen our security, our Volaworandian values and our march forward on the right side of history — and to demonstrate to other nations a way to work more effectively in making the world a better and safer place.

I am announcing today that the Government of Volaworand has decided that Volaworand will withdraw cooperation from the World Court, based in Deumontiverland. This is in connection with a baseless case naming Volaworand as a defendant, challenging the actions of our ISU security service at home and abroad, while using illegal leaks and false rumors as evidence.

We are disappointed that the WC failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction or authority to issue any order with respect to the actions Volaworand takes to protect its own essential security. Instead, the court has become a forum for propaganda. The WC has systematically pursued a policy of hostility to Volaworand, and never allowed any sort of due process or investigation before imposing internet firewall restrictions and deploying ships along our waters. Their involvement has deepened and exaggerated a small diplomatic incident into an international crisis. Now the WC claims it is open to change and asks the international community for patience. The WC cannot practice animosity in its conduct and then ask for amity from the international community. Volaworand never acceded to the Roswaesian Decree establishing the court, and we now explicit reject the authority of this body.

I’d like to stress: Volaworand remains a party to our existing and ratified diplomatic agreements and we expect all other parties to abide by their international obligations under those. As far as our relations with Midand, Techganet, Nova Montron and Techolandia the WC has nothing whatever to do to a diplomatic effort to resolve our differences. It was a politicized use of the court itself that exacerbated the differences by encouraging these nations to cut off internet communication between our nations.

So our actions today deal with the current and any pending litigation involving Volaworand before the World Court. Given the history and abuse of the WC process, we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose Volaworand to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the World Court.

Volaworand will not sit idly by as baseless, politicized claims are brought against us. We encourage the nations of the South Pacific to join us in rejecting this body and standing up for their own national sovereignty.

That view couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity to use the court to strengthen our fight against terrorists as well as our overall national security. And we can do this while still protecting our national sovereignty and military and intelligence personnel. International law protects not only noncombatants, but also our own military forces. We, in Volaworand, helped strengthen it after the South Pacific Cold War. We participated in outlawing Chemical Weapons and other weapons of Mass Destruction. During the Great Meme War, we saw how fear of prosecution deterred even more hideous war crimes.

We are disappointed that the WC failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction or authority to issue any order with respect to the actions Volaworand takes to protect its own essential security. Instead, the court has become a forum for propaganda. The WC has systematically pursued a policy of hostility to Volaworand, and never allowed any sort of due process or investigation before imposing internet firewall restrictions and deploying ships along our waters. Their involvement has deepened and exaggerated a small diplomatic incident into an international crisis. Now the WC claims it is open to change and asks the international community for patience. The WC cannot practice animosity in its conduct and then ask for amity from the international community. Volaworand never acceded to the Roswaesian Decree establishing the court, and we now explicit reject the authority of this body.

And considering the author of the No side ended up becoming the Acting Prime Minister... I'd say that it's unlikely to change.

Our government's Cabinet previously debated international courts...

The World Court Of Roswaesia (WC) is "already dead to us" Minister of Defence & Security Alastair Dickson told Parliment. "Volaworand will," he said, "resist the court by any means necessary."

Why would the new Duncan Government take such a hard line against "the world's court of last resort"? Founded in the wake of The sakhalinsk empire and Techolandia's wars, the international body was supposed to try evildoers who would otherwise escape justice due to broken legal systems in failed states.

Opposing the court is not a new position for Volaworand or Minister Dickson. The Hovland Governement refused to sign the court's implementing treaty, contending that it would lead to trials of soldiers and spies by a politically turbo-charged body located in Roswaesia. At the time, many South Pacific leaders opposed Prime Minister Hovland's war on terror, including the internment of enemy aliens at Marambio and Esperanza. Minister Dickson warned, when the formation of body was first being imposed on the region, that it would be ineffective, unaccountable and overly political. Volaworand chose to remain isolated and outside this courts jurisdiction over the internal affairs of South Pacific nations.

Now, Volaworand intelligence agents may face charges for activities in Techganet and elsewhere. While Volaworand is not a signatory of the treaty or decrees of , Techganet apparently is, and the court claims jurisdiction over any actions taken there. If the WC begins prosecuting Volaworandian "crimes" abroad, commanders will temper their battle plans, soldiers will become gun-shy and civilians will refuse to serve. Volaworand's sovereign right to defend itself will be weakened. Midand is also expected to be another target, as they appear to have agreed to the court's jurisdiction and have been credibly accused of using chemical weapons to assassinate Volaworand's Prime Minister. Meanwhile, without any evidence or fair process in place, the WC has apparently already convicted Volaworand without a trial. They have encouraged numerous nations to erect internet firewalls based on unsubstantiated and unverified internet leaks and make wild claims about Volaworand's military being in far flung corners of the world in a blatant attempt to escalate some old news into an military conflict in order to justify their relevance. Volaworand will not accede one iota of national sovereignty to this undemocratic and unelected body.

In practice, the World Court Of Roswaesia is a failed experiment.

Its trials appear selective and political. While the court has received more than 10,000 written complaints referring to 139 countries, according to the Polar Research Centre, it has focused its prosecutions exclusively on polar nations. The only investigation in progress, relates to Technolandia's complaints filed against Volaworand. This leads to the all-too-easy accusation that the court is racist, neo-colonialist or, in the words of one Polar writer, "tropical justice for polar nations." Following the Antarctic Covenant summit, Imperial Antarctica Prime Minister Richard C. Harvey denounced the court as a "racial hunt". While these charges are hyperbolic, the court's selective and unfair prosecutions have undermined its credibility among polar citizens.

As a result, South Pacific nations are pulling out. Deusutopia, Aequalitate, and New Front have essentially withdrawn from the WC and it seems Nova Montron and Hanguk-Nippon are joining them to stampede for the exit. Auphelia seems to happily ignore the WC completely.

The WC likes to refer to itself as the world's court, but it represents fewer and fewer of world's nations. Volaworand, Midand, Hanguk-Nippon and Nova Montron have never posted ratifications of the court's imposition on the region. Technolandia itself has openly criticized the WC as "unfair" and implied it was corrupt. The Sakhalinsk Empire has encouraged leaving the court's jurisdiction en masse. It appears only Deumontiverland, the host nation, recognizes the WC's authority.

The court's leaders have, in addition, not held themselves to particularly high standards. Chief prosecutor Roswaesian diplomacy, defended thier unquestioned ability to unilaterally change the military access codes of a sovereign nation, saying that nations own internal security measures were insufficient. Such a wildly inappropriate massive intrusion in national sovereignty hardly inspires confidence.

Even worse for the court's credibility are the allegations brought by Hanguk-Nippon, leader of the Praiano Concordat’s (a alternate forum to the WC), that the world court has never held official democratic voting or transparently released records on any case, allegations that deserve an impartial review.

The World Court is a noble ideal but a flawed institution. Far better to encourage nations to develop their own courts that are accountable to the victims and free from charges of selective enforcement or foreign intervention. Volaworand's Truth and Reconciliation Commission -- a government body subject to oversight by the people's representatives -- has heard hard cases and delivered judgements respected across the political spectrum. This institution aims to rehabilitate victims, and pay compensation for state outrages against them.

That method would be a better model for the South Pacific than a court funded and run from Roswaesia.

EDITORS NOTE: Kamla Patelwill is Volaworand's Minister of External Affairs, currently presenting our nations case at the World Court. In an unprecedented break with parliamentary tradition, she has written this op-ed publicly disagreeing with her cabinet college.


Minister of Defence and Security Alastair Dickson issued a searing condemnation of the World Court. Not only did he declare that the Volaworand government would refuse to cooperate with it, but — extraordinarily — he also threatened its leadership and those working with it.

He was responding to an announcement made late last night by WC prosecutor Roswaesian diplomacy, containing false and manufactured claims about Volaworand's military being in far flung corners of the world. Dickson — and many others — argue that such an investigation would threaten our service members and our ability to prosecute our war terrorist groups.

That view couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity to use the court to strengthen our fight against terrorists as well as our overall national security. And we can do this while still protecting our national sovereignty and military and intelligence personnel.

International law protects not only noncombatants, but also our own military forces. We, in Volaworand, helped strengthen it after the South Pacific Cold War. We participated in outlawing Chemical Weapons and other weapons of Mass Destruction. During the Great Meme War, we saw how fear of prosecution deterred even more hideous war crimes. I know, because I was part of this effort.

It was only natural that many nations would come together to seek a permanent investigatory and judicial arm that could further deter and restrain the horrors of warfare between or within nations. This was the World Court. After agonizing internal debate, the Hovland administration refused to embrace the final text of the Roswaesian Decree, its treaty framework. Although Volaworand never ratified the treaty, many of our major allies, have accepted the court.

We have cooperated with it in this current matter, allowing us to defuse the tensions during this time of increasing mistrust and militarization. And there is no doubt that the reach of the court’s jurisdiction has restrained conflict, whatever the difficulties that emerged in applying clean legal procedures to the nasty violence and ugly strategies of warfare.

Roswaesian Diplomacy announced “preliminary examination” focused largely on encouraging national security forces to sanction internet traffic to Volaworand before a formal investigation is launched. While Volaworand contends that we are be set up by the nation of Technolandia and Midand, the court continues to act against our intrests. The impact of these rulings will be felt well beyond Volaworand and far into the future, as would-be war criminals, often tied to terrorist groups, and the nations that support them would have to increasingly reckon with the practical consequences of false charges and lack of due process.

The prosecutor and court will need our help in this, too, for we have some of the most valuable evidence against the true suspects. And by cooperating, we can help strengthen the power of international action against terrorists and their supporters, in particular. Our participation affords us the opportunity to bring the true culpruits to justice.

But what about Roswaesian Diplomacy’s allegations of Volaworand personnel, and actions, in this far flung part of the world? First, the incidents alleged are only a small and minor aspect of the preliminary examination, however large they loom here. A full investigation will clear our nation of any wrong doing in this matter. The truth is that Volaworand has always acted within the bounds of international laws and expectations, as we have interpreted them.

Second, the Roswaesian Decree allows prosecutors to refrain from indictments if there are substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice. In other words, the court does not have to act if it believes that the countries implicated can take their own measures to deliver justice.

In line with this, Volaworand has already to established its own “Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” operating under highly credible procedures under our law, inviting international observers while protecting our classified sources and procedures. The truth commission would provide a channel for admitting mistakes where they occurred and providing restitution to victims where it is warranted. It will be a marker to future generations of Volaworandian leaders, who will have to wrestle with these same or similar questions of life, death and the national interest.

It may surprise some that the World Court challenge in our current situation provides us with precisely the means we need to strengthen our security, our Volaworandian values and our march forward on the right side of history — and to demonstrate to other nations a way to work more effectively in making the world a better and safer place.

And we ended up trusting our own justice system

I am announcing today that the Government of Volaworand has decided that Volaworand will withdraw cooperation from the World Court, based in Deumontiverland. This is in connection with a baseless case naming Volaworand as a defendant, challenging the actions of our ISU security service at home and abroad, while using illegal leaks and false rumors as evidence.

We are disappointed that the WC failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction or authority to issue any order with respect to the actions Volaworand takes to protect its own essential security. Instead, the court has become a forum for propaganda. The WC has systematically pursued a policy of hostility to Volaworand, and never allowed any sort of due process or investigation before imposing internet firewall restrictions and deploying ships along our waters. Their involvement has deepened and exaggerated a small diplomatic incident into an international crisis. Now the WC claims it is open to change and asks the international community for patience. The WC cannot practice animosity in its conduct and then ask for amity from the international community. Volaworand never acceded to the Roswaesian Decree establishing the court, and we now explicit reject the authority of this body.

I’d like to stress: Volaworand remains a party to our existing and ratified diplomatic agreements and we expect all other parties to abide by their international obligations under those. As far as our relations with Midand, Techganet, Nova Montron and Techolandia the WC has nothing whatever to do to a diplomatic effort to resolve our differences. It was a politicized use of the court itself that exacerbated the differences by encouraging these nations to cut off internet communication between our nations.

So our actions today deal with the current and any pending litigation involving Volaworand before the World Court. Given the history and abuse of the WC process, we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose Volaworand to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the World Court.

Volaworand will not sit idly by as baseless, politicized claims are brought against us. We encourage the nations of the South Pacific to join us in rejecting this body and standing up for their own national sovereignty.
