The Free World Observatory is a Pontesian think tank and research centre, dedicated to committing studies to the cause of defending the dignity of all living beings, primarily on the Majatran continent. It was funded on the behest of Princess Veronica, the current Pontesian heir apparent, as a way for monitoring the situation on the continent from a holistic and Majatran values-perspective. Her Serene Highness had this to say at the inauguration:
It is an honour for me to present a capable institution to promote our values. I have no doubt it will defend our dignity and honour, and uphold the right of our peoples to live according to their own bioculture, and promote peace, tolerance and understanding through advancing democracy in the framework of Majatran values.
First thing on the agenda will be the publication of a study of the Animal Rights situation on the Majatran continent, which will be followed by human rights and civil liberties, from a Majatran values-perspective.
