It is not in the plans of the Selucian Government to leave the Majatran Alliance. Selucia, as a democratic nation, allows the freedom of expression in its cities and regions, and that is why the manifestation against the Majatran Alliance was allowed. Selucia, as a democratic nation, allows its citizens to openly disagree with the Government. However, and although polls are being conducted to check the general opinion of our citizens regarding the Majatran Alliance, the official position of the past Government and the new Government is exactly the same: for now, Selucia will remain in the Majatran Alliance. It is our duty as a democracy to help other nations in achieving this ultimate goal.
Majatran values are the values of the whole continent, and therefore no single nation can dictate them or can say something goes against them just because in their own nation things are done differently. As an example, the right to bear arms is not something intrinsic to the Majatran culture, but rather to modern legislation in modern nations. I will not stop in the issues of vaccinations or paramilitaries because... I appreciate my position. But Mrs. Caespasius, tolerance means respect to every single individual. Including LGBT people and other minorities.
In the same way, even though this Alliance was born as an economic union, it was born also as a continental union, which means bringing all nations together in order to avoid the horrible mistakes Majatra has committed during its past history and that many nations seem to frequently forget. Of course, we can only be an economic union.
But why should the money of my nation, hardly made and won by its own citizens, go to a nation that prosecute people of my own kind, or that uses it to sustain hereditary title holders that have done nothing else?
Selucia long ago decided to remain neutral, with huge support from its own citizens, and that is why many Selucians are asking our government to leave the Alliance.
Because we don't want to be accomplices of any nations that undermine the rights of its citizens, while our citizens can easily enjoy them.
We do see the Chart as an opportunity to discuss the current issues of our continent, and to create a chart where all of us can easily identify with. And this can only be achieved through dialogue, not through accusations. That's what we ask to all the present members.
Thanks
