I'm sorry but is Leinad basically saying that no-one can criticize Atlasia? Surely people like me, Talleyrand and Oakvale have a right when we've been in the game for a very long time even if we disengaged . IMAO I have every right to point out what is wrong when I served as a Senator for 4 months

It's not that Atlasia should never be criticized, it's that certain South American leaders tend to take a... combative attitude towards this Republic. Atlasia seems to have become the universal boogeyman in certain circles, used to strike down opposing views much as cries of "big government" are wielded in the RL USA. For example:

Problems lie ahead, of course. In our own land, rebels and drug cartels continue to wreak havoc. Myriad economic challenges face our constituent nations. To our north, the pigheaded isolationists squawk and squeal at the thought of granting our nation diplomatic recognition. But this government stands ready to meet these challenges. With that in mind, the Prime Minister will now move to holding a vote on a motion of confidence on a sweeping policy agenda that will continue our work in moving South America forward.

There may be some residual bitterness towards some members of the Mock Parliament game, but I'm yet to hear anyone in Atlasia refer to you as "pigheaded isolationists". I was one of the first people to suggest (publicly at least) that Atlasia and South America establish diplomatic relations, but I find this trend very disturbing.

A couple of prominent Atlasians screeched and screamed about the idea of Mock Parliament being moved to the "Fantasy Elections" section, let alone the idea of opening foreign relations and thus solving forever the vacuum problem. What is that if not pigheaded isolationism from those few individuals? I'd hope they're a minority.

I would argue that, if you're trying to convince people that you're not anti-Atlasia, calling Atlasians "pigheaded isolationists" isn't the best strategy.

Otherwise, I basically agree with what Kalwejt said: I'm not opposed to diplomacy with South America, but I do think we need to have some sort of unified game engine for it to work.
