: Dear Fellow Ladonians!
: There has been a lot of talking about the eventual attack on our country. Maybe this can be avoided if we show the rest of the world that we are a friendly country, with modern values? I suggest that we sign the Geneva Conventions as soon as possible. For more information about the conventions, check out the International Comitte of the Red Cross/Red Cresent at http://www.icrc.ch
Comment:
A most admirable sugestion! Indeed this may help to avoid an assault on our beloved nation or at least to make such an attack
even more controversial from an international viewpoint.
It also raises interesting questions concerning Ladonias relationship with its neighbours. How should, for instanse, the resent fire at Nimis be regarded from the perspective of international law? Even if the Swedish authorities can not be made directly responsible it is resonable to assume that this attack did not come from fellow Ladonians but from some irregular force abroad, eg in Sweden. Is this presumed force known to, or perhaps even supported by, the Swedish authorities? How should Ladonia react?
