The Avanthi government disagrees with this condemnation. The ban on advertising will only be on public buildings and services. This means that, for instance, young children, at their impressionable ages, will not be bombarded by advertisements in places like schools or school buses. The Avanthi Ministry of the Economy has also stated that this action will mean the government will not be effectively endorsing products any more, as it is a violation of equal competition principles in the Avanthi free market.

Mandatory Religion and Language in Schools, Government, and Immigration

The Awellian Ministry of Education has announced that the religions of Jainism, Hinduism, and Zoroastrianism will all be mandatorily taught in school in all grade levels from grades 1-12.
Additionally, all Awellians must now mandatorily fully earn Gujarati as a language if they wish to become a citizen or PR in Awell Islands. English has been dropped as an official language in Awell Islands after 82% of all MPs voted against keeping it. This means that Gujarati is the only official language in Awell Islands and will be the only language that will be used for education.
Due to this, many translator jobs have been opened.

In Awell Islands, the government structure is about to change after Awell Islands' King announced some changes in which the Rajya Sabha (Senate) will now be made up of only religious figures of the three official religions, language leaders of Gujarati, and science-based officials. 75% of all MPs in Awell Islands agree with this move.

Pallapati condemns this and stands firm against this. This is a limitation of the rights of the people. Pallapati has also increased funding towards the IPF by 0.001%

The People's Commissariat of Vajji thanks New Camelot of Avalonia for understanding our motive and supporting us.

Vajji also believes that over the last few centuries under capitalism, the free development of humans, as individuals and as a species, has been perverted and imprisoned within social forms based upon mutual antagonism. Labour is the human creative activity, but the capacity to labour, labour power, was bought and sold like a thing. Humans were being alienated from society and alienation is the lack of self-worth, the absence of meaning in one's life, consequent to being coerced to lead a life without opportunity for self-fulfillment, without the opportunity to become actualized, to become one's self.

The final goal of our economy is the emancipation of men and women from the dehumanisation caused by mechanistic work that is psychologically alienating and which is performed in exchange for wages that give limited financial-access to the material necessities of life. That personal and societal emancipation from poverty would maximise individual liberty by enabling men and women to pursue their interests and innate talents (artistic, industrial and intellectual) whilst working by choice, without the economic coercion of poverty.

We too are interested in expanding diplomatic relations with your nation and would love to cooperate with you in the future. We are also very much interested in studying more about your economic system, the Freedom.

Thank You for your support.

We agree whole-heartedly. Each human being, in its divine emotional gift, has capacity to change their world. Each has a capacity that only they can define, but that they must be supported in reaching. This capacity may be in teaching children the wonders of the world, in calculating the invisible forces that hold up a city's river-crossers, in exploring the depths of the deepest oceans, or in caring for the sick. But when those passions that all people have are not able to be followed, due to their economic disenfranchisement, then a society has committed a most grave crime against - stifling the spirit and soul. Education is at a the center of this, and we believe that education should be a priority of every state, with the focus not on combing the populace into straight lines, but on supporting each person for them to find their passion. Each year, Avalonia spends around 2.29% of its GDP on international aid, a portion of which goes to aid to educational programs, and another portion going to educational scholarships for students studying both in Avalonia and in other countries. We are always looking for new partners in the area of supporting education in the world, and would be interested in working with any and all nations.

But in addition to allowing each person to reach their own potential, a society has another responsibility - to support the inherent right of all people to the artistic enjoyments of life and the beauty of the environment.

A society that builds walls of stone and steel but does not cover them with tapestries and woven tales has lost its way. It has lost its human soul. Avalonia believes that at the heart of a society is its artists, its writers, its philosophers and dreamers. Support for the great art houses of the world must increase in all places, so that we may enter a new global golden age. Avalonia would be most interested in working with other nations to achieve this, and would like to create an international fund for art houses.

Similarly, a society that builds buildings but does not tend its gardens has also lost its way. It has lost its earthly soul. Avalonia believes that at the heart of a person is their spiritual connection to nature, their jeëteruk as it is in Avalonia's cisja rona. A government must ensure that all people have the opportunity to embrace their jeëteruk. This means public parks, protected natural reserves, environmental education, the maintenance of gardens throughout cities, and a commitment to animal and wildlife welfare. A global commitment to natural preservation is of the utmost importance, and global cooperation in the area of increasing environmental accessibility is something towards which Avalonia would be very favorable.

Is it consensual?

OOC: How do the dead give consent¿

Jai Jinendra

The government of Maleibidulu-Sàmberiti is fully in support of Avalonia's environmental conservation efforts and as well as Vajji's efforts to decentralize their economic wealth. Protecting the environment and our fellow earthlings is the duty of all. Monetary riches are vapid, we should all always collectively aim to reduce our attachments to physical wants and focus to ensure that no living soul is being oppressed or is suffering - as much as earthly possible. The large and prestigious Tejanga University (Matuvaïa), located in central Maleibidulu-Sàmberiti, has announced that all academically eligible Avalonian and Vajjian(?) citizens are permitted to attend the top tier university for free to improve economic and environmental cooperation as well as mutual cultural understanding.

If u want to be lazy and get rights not based on ur capabilities than communism is the way to go.If u want to work hard and earn a name capitalism is the way to go.

Of course, traditionally Hindus have burnt their dead family member's body but if someone wants to be buried, they can tell that to their family members before his death.

OOC: Depends on the industry, for the Primary sector sure - I would agree, but I think few countries can ignore the advances of Cuban doctors, Soviet scientists, and others. When the goal is to provide a service or good that has meaningful and traceable societal benefit, the ability and act to help others in need is in of itself a reward. Some capitalist examples include teachers and social workers, they're not in that line of work for the profit. Maleibidulu-Sàmberiti's economy does not aim for everyone to earn the same amount of income, just that the discrepancy between the wealthiest and poorest is less severe (e.g. no one should be starving in a country that is burning food) and that careers in the service and care of others are properly respected and employed. The best and brightest should aim for a career in teaching rather than a bank or a hedge fund.

To add on, one of the main criticisms of capitalism, I believe, is that there are still jobs where one works hard (extremely hard) but isn’t compensated fairly. The services sector, for example.

Avalonia doesn’t arrive to compensate everyone equally either but with the freedom system, we separate compensation from access to goods and services. This means that whether you are in the poorest 10% or the richest 10%, your economic access is not any different. Of course, you do pay 100% tax rates, but Avalonians do not mind, with this system having been in place for centuries.

Cuban doctors earn less than taxi drivers so that kind of ruins your argument

I doubt your system works that efficiently. Your system reeks of bureaucracy and inefficiency. One cannot trust the government to successfully allocate resources or economic access for that matter.

Well, we do rank as the most efficient economy and least corrupt country too.

But regardless, our system has a streamlined bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is not one that deals with regulations (from which bureaucracies’ red tape reputation comes), but actually works as a meritocracy to ensure the best and brightest managing our economy using mass data and democratized demand. We work to minimize our output gap and economic waste, and because of the massive amount of information we have, we are able to do just that.

You kind of prove the point though here
- these discoveries still happened regardless of economic compensation. That’s not to say that economic compensation doesn’t matter (it definitely does for people’s quality of life), but it does show that technological discoveries can happen in both capitalist and socialist countries.

Yes but is it fair to pay Doctors the same as taxi drivers? I think that's unethical.

(edited the post) I think that it’s unethical to pay people such drastically different wages that their quality of life and life opportunities are drastically different (what I mean by life opportunities is ability to take vacations, have savings, live a comfortable life etc.)

I've checked the facts regarding the statement and have discovered that it is in fact true. But the thing is that taxi drivers in Cuba serve many tourists during their day and these tourists are typically from a wealthier countries, which means he individual tourist has more money for "tips". And taxi drivers take advantage of this and charge them exorbitant prices.

Doctors on the other hand are paid by the state. A state which has been sanctioned into self sufficiency by the US embargo. Also, Cuba has free healthcare, free education, and most people own their own home. One won't go bankrupt if he gets admitted to a hospital.

So yeah. It's not ethical but they're not the only ones to be blamed for it.

Additionally, I don’t think the systems in Cuba or the Soviet Union, especially the political systems, are what any of us are advocating for. There are many issues in Cuba, especially in human rights, which effect the economy, and so the economy cannot be looked at solely in an insular view with the socialism.

Avanthistan is not socialist but thinks that all nations and people should be able to choose their own economic system, as long as erasing poverty is the goal. Avanthistan is doing well to do this.

Can Avanthi representatives attend? Avanthistan is landlocked, but our scientists have a strong understanding of fresh water habitats, especially river habitats.

Also, my economy is decentralized and democratically planned. Which means that the most important component is local production for local consumption.

Decentralized planning has the benefit of making decisions categorically less top down. Also, it decreases the tendency towards centralization of political and economic power into the hands of a hegemonic bureaucracy.
