The Federation of Imperial Dynasties

"The Sun Shall Ne'er Wane From the Sky "

UN Category: Father Knows Best State
Civil Rights:
Average Economy:
Powerhouse Political Freedoms:
Few
Location: The East Pacific


The Federation of Imperial Dynasties is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 745 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, and the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Imperial Dynasties's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ren.

Imperial Dynasties is ranked 5938th in the region and 105,678th in the world for Nicest Citizens.

Spokesperson for Imperial Dynasties

The Foreign Secretariat for Imperial Dynasties has sent a delegation requesting the revocation of its eviction from its sovereign homeland the East Pacific. The arraignment thread provided by the regional delegate cannot be accessed and so the delegation has come to the regional court seeking representation.

The delegation is under orders not to proceed until the judge has appointed a barrister and/or solicitor to assist them in this matter.

Sincerely

Foreign secretary

Your honor, I recognize that I do hold several positions of high authority within the East Pacific, and that I do normally act as the Regional Attorney. At this time, however, there are no other active EP Court Barriesters (to my knowledge). With that in mind, I would like to offer my services as Defense Barrister to Imperial Dynasties. The court has my word that I will do my best to defend the defendant regardless of my government positions and duties, and my word that I have no malevolent intentions in my offer of service.

Which my winning this case if I'm appointed will proove. :)

Foreign Secretariat:

Your honour, the delegation accepts Free Pacific States as its representative for this case and will do its best to fully support the defence barrister in his/her duty to the court.

There are some preliminaries which the defendant would like to raise with the court and in the presence of the defence barrister.

On the charge of violation of MA Act 1.1 (Endorsement Restriction Act) the defendant pleads: not guilty.

Given the statement under Section 4(a) of the Act – ‘Offering to endorse another nation on the proviso of their reciprocating that endorsement upon you’ – Imperial Dynasties testifies that it has never supplicated any other nation to endorse it and has never sent any in-game telegraphs to any of the nations listed under ‘endorsements received’ requesting reciprocal treatment. Imperial Dynasties was happy to endorse particular nations asking for its support via in-game telegraph (Infinite Loop and Gnidrah counting) and therefore feels that it has supported high ranking members of the region, not undermined them. :)

Furthermore, Section 7(3) states that the total number of endorsements required to activate any summary eviction is 125 endorsements: (7/3) Should a nation reach 125 endorsements, the delegate is empowered to summarily evict from the region pending a trial. Given that the defendant’s number of endorsements totalled 124 at the time of the eviction, the delegate has failed to adhere to that particular code under the act.

On the charge of violation of The East Pacific Charter (Clause 1.1.8) the defendant pleads: not guilty.

The Charter states that nations are prohibited from campaigning for the delegacy. Imperial Dynasties has never made any attempt to decapitate the current incumbent and has never endorsed any other nation with such intention. As stated above, the defendant has never requested any endorsement for the purpose of assuming the position of delegate.

On the charge of failure to comply with a government order to cease and desist violation MA Act 1.1 the defendant pleads: not guilty.

The defendant accepts that it had over 75 endorsements at the time and therefore is subject to suspicion from the delegate. However, the first such warning was received at 100 endorsements and the delegate stated that he was required to send another in-game telegraph at 117 endorsements. This was the first time that Imperial Dynasties was aware of any cap or endorsement limits; furthermore, under section 7(1) of the MA Act 1.1, the delegate is required to send a request for the said nation to ‘desist in collecting endorsements, an explanation of why it is prohibited, and the avenues by which they might defend themselves under the laws of the East Pacific’. Apart from stating that Imperial Dynasties was nearing the ‘endorsement limit’, none of the above information was provided. The defendant testifies that once the telegraph was sent he stopped endorsing other nations. Previously, the number of endorsements that were gained had increased steadily but had stabilised towards 104-105 endorsements. The defendant was confident of maintaining that figure whist withdrawing endorsements from some nations. If, under circumstances, the defendant were to receive additional endorsements, it was assumed that the delegate would send another reminder at 117 endorsements stating what action the defendant could take to prevent his nation from surpassing the endorsement limit. This failed to happen. :(

On the charge of endorsement swapping the defendant pleads: not guilty.

Given that section 4(a) terms endorsement swapping as ‘offering to endorse another nation on the proviso of their reciprocating that endorsement upon you’, the defendant has already stressed numerous times that it has never sent any request for endorsements. The defendant reserves the right to endorse other members freely on the basis of similarity, achievement in UN rankings, or on the funkiness of a nation’s flag. This cannot constitute ‘endorsement swapping’. It is no crime to endorse more than 50 nations; it is not mentioned either in MA Act 1.1. nor The East Pacific Charter.

The Foreign Secretariat hopes that these concerns will duly be addressed by the court.

at the time of the arrest, the offending nation had 125 endorsements,
the Defendant was also endorsed by James Goodwin who was ejected immeadiatly before the defendant, therefore Goodwins endorsement was removed immeadiatly before the screen capture.

current screen cap, showing Goodwin as first endorser, as the endoresment was restored when both nations were in the RR.

You cannot endorse Imperial Dynasties as you are not in the same region.


On Nov 6 the defendant had 57 endo
On Nov 8 the defendant had 70 Endo
On Nov 9 the defendant had 74 endo
On Nov 11 the defendant had 80 Endo, and the first warning was sent.
On Nov 12 The defendant had 93 Endo
On Nov 16 the defendant had 116 endo

This endorsement count continued to rise until the First of December when the Defendant was arrested.

as for the warning times, ours listed are guidelines, and due to the speed of Endorsement swappers the initial warning can not always be given exactly at the stated times. And once the warning has been sent it leaves my control, as regional advertisers or other endorsement swappers can force it to be removed from the defendants inbox via spam.

On the charge of endorsement swapping, I routinely look through almost all of the Member nations looking for new folks to invite to the forum, and in my scanning, I noticed a great many nations endorsed by the Defendant, leading to the suspicion of Endorsement swapping, as well, I had endorsed the defendant and invited him to this forum within days of his arrival at the game, therefore he had ample oportunity to come here and review our laws, as Ignorance of the Law is Not a defence.

The defendant would like to inform the court that he is currently reviewing a plea request from the delegate and will notify the court of its decision through the defence barrister FPS.

Loop's agreed to a three month probationary period as your official punishment in return for pleading guilty, along with your agreeance to act as a Barrister. Of course, the Regional Government cannot make sure you hold up the second part of the bargain, but, it'd probably look a bit better.

Suggest you plead guilty in court immediatly, at which point Loop will present his pled down request for punishment, and Codex will give you your 3 months.

Having consulted FPS on this matter Imperial Dynasties pleads guilty to the charges brought against him by the regional delegate IL. Further to this, Imperial Dynasties will consent to act as Barrister for the regional court if charged to do so by Judge Codex. The delegation has now returned back to Imperial Dynasties and awaits its return to EP.

The court was minded to dismiss all charges save that of violating a cease and desist order. However, we are willing to accept the guilty charge presented by the defendent and the suggestion of a three month probationary period. We also look forward to working with Imperial Dynasties in the future.
