Not a proper war without memes.

Hey! Welcome to Politics and War!

no. Make People's Teeth Great Again.

No Green??!?!? You freaking racist! Anyways, I don't see any real good candidates this election. The mainstream candidates platforms are based on either protectionist or corporatist economics.

Torben Jorgensen and Matthias Bjornlund; "When it comes to the historical reality of the Armenian genocide, there is no "Armenian" or "Turkish" side of the "question, " any more than there is a "Jewish" or a "German" side of the historical reality of the Holocaust: There is a scientific side, and an unscientific side acknowledgment or denial. In the case of the denial of the Armenian genocide, it is even founded on a massive effort of falsification, distortion, cleansing of archives, and direct threats initiated or supported by the Turkish state, making any "dialogue" with Turkish deniers highly problematic." [2] I don't hate Turks, plenty Turk's work for me, they really love me, trust me. Maybe dishonest Kemal stop spreading slanderous lies?? (i'm joking, don't take this trump parody serious pls).

Aurburgian geologist speculate that Meonesia suffered a similar, but unknown, fate as Atlantis.

Is there any aesthetic memes?

The Principality of Aurburg formally declares it support for the monarchist faction within this civil war, mainly due to Aurburg's current foreign policy to retain and inspire more monarchies throughout the world. However, the Aurburgian government has stated it will not send troops, arms (okay maybe a little), or monetary aid. Aside from that, the Aurburgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs switch recognition of Hequ's sovereignty from the Republic of Hequ to the Kingdom of Hequ (i believe that's the monarchist faction name, idk, correct me if i'm wrong).

Arguing with you is pointless at this point. In your eyes, everyone is a profound hypocrite for their governments not owning up to their past mistakes, while somehow that justifies the Republic of Turkey continue denial of the Armenian Genocide. IT was deliberate planning to intentionally wipe out a populace in their native homeland, yet arguing that the "Western Armenians" weren't really "affected" (yeah even though their native homeland is literally is near the caucasus region and eastern turkey) doesn't really justify the Turkish Republic actions in trying to obviously underplay the Armenian Genocide, while trying to just leave it as a simple "ethnic cleansing". You keep trying to throw off poorly done examples, usually over exaggerated, to try and dodge the topic at hand. The Turkish regime to this day, still refuses to hand over all documents related to the Armenian Genocide, while only giving cherry-picked documents to try and prove how this was only "ethnic cleansing" (still resulted in large amount of deaths of armenians lol) Aside from that, you try to give your own "narrative" of how the Turkish state shouldn't have to own up to its past mistakes (which is a result of being a "successor" to the ottoman empire". You try implying that I'm suggesting there should be laws to criminalize the denial of the Armenian Genocide, yet I didn't. However, you went onto say how Turk's will somehow be victims of jokes and bullying? I'll reiterate this again "history isn't all about the positive aspects, but also learning from past horrible mistakes". The Germans sure were able to move forward from their horrible past, while at the same time openly admitting that their previous incarnation of Germany was responsible for deaths of many innocent Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, and ect. I wasn't looking to debate about Japan, and will not address it, it doesn't justify Turkey of it's past mistakes. Furthermore, you're right, I don't get to pick what's a genocide or not a genocide, it is by fact and definition a Genocide. You'll continue to underplay the Armenian Genocide, which you as an individual can do, but other scholars, governments, or people in general won't. Also, I wish to address this "other government's aren't recognizing their past!". Firstly, to reiterate what you said, " You don't get to pick what matters for our decision process when it is our decision to call it a genocide or not, friend.", woah, hypocrite, who are you to call something a genocide!!! You can try playing this negationist historical revisionist attitude, but it's getting old and worn out as a common argument rebuttal. As you stated to Rozallia earlier; "don't even bother replying". I don't wish to argue with someone who argue with these circular scenarios and exaggerated examples. You're an apologist, the Armenian Genocide is a genocide. Accept it or not, it's fruitless debating with you However, I'll leave a nice quote from our good friends, Torben Jorgensen and Matthias Bjornlund; "When it comes to the historical reality of the Armenian genocide, there is no "Armenian" or "Turkish" side of the "question, " any more than there is a "Jewish" or a "German" side of the historical reality of the Holocaust: There is a scientific side, and an unscientific side acknowledgment or denial. In the case of the denial of the Armenian genocide, it is even founded on a massive effort of falsification, distortion, cleansing of archives, and direct threats initiated or supported by the Turkish state, making any "dialogue" with Turkish deniers highly problematic."

The Principality of Aurburg grows concern for the fate of monarchy all across Europe. The Aurburgian Royal Family has called for the investigation of the Duchess recent disappearance, while calling for the restoration of the Finnish monarchy as soon as possible. However, Aurburgian Foreign Affairs (AFA) praises Rokkenjima and Sweden for their fast and effective humanitarian aid to the people of Finland.

Sure lol, let's get right into this; "1. Because if you want to accuse people of some wrong-doing, you have to hold yourself to the same standards. I guess accusing a country of having committed a genocide has some negative implications for the said country and its citizens, don't you think? For instance, Germany is indeed paying reparations to the Jews; and there are countless Nazi jokes being made at the expense of Germans who never lived through the Nazi period. Do you think this is OK?" Firstly, it doesn't matter what you think is "okay or wrong". It gets evenly annoying to hear this common Ottoman apologist tactic on this issue concerning the Armenian genocide. Any mass-killing against a targeted group of people that was intentionally planned should be regarded as a "genocide", doesn't really matter what case, whenever it'd be the Native American or Congo or any other "well ur just as bad" tactic. No one here is also accusing the Ottoman Empire of genocide, most people here have simply pointed out a very obvious crime committed under the empire known as a; "GENOCIDE". As for the jokes, what exactly are you trying to say? Everyone is made fun of, regardless of one's background, sometimes people do it for satire. However, should we tolerate a regime in the Republic of Turkey trying to deny what's a fact? The true joke is people trying to deny the very basis of a horrible crime committed onto innocent people, which was planned extensively. History isn't about all of the positive things, it's also about learning the dark side of history, which leads to people not repeating the same mistake after seeing documents, photographs, and films of any event. "2. Yes, all of these are largely correct. "The concentration camps" were extremely rare and a later invention by the Armenians. They started calling the destinations of the deportations as "concentration camps" after the Nazis invented the actual Konzentrationslager. Your narrative also ignores how the Turks and the Kurds suffered similar atrocities at the hands of the Armenians, but by now I am used to these inexplicable omissions." No, it was an Ottoman Empire creation that didn't even have facilities to sustain the necessities to live. If you look at the very basic definition of a concentration camp it states; "a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution" which later turn out to be true in the Armenian case. I mean, you try being starved then marched out to die in a death march in the Syrian desert. Also, I didn't imply nor hint that the Armenians are innocent of any atrocities they may have committed (implying they did cause some lol?) I simply stood by the issue which we are discussing. "3. Your "maybe it wasn't supposed to be" part is crucial, though. This is exactly the defense the others are currently using to deny that nuking Japan was not a genocide. But by that logic, 1915 would also not be a genocide. The definition you give is simply (1) too broad, and (2) it is very hard to establish "deliberation" in many cases." I think you ignored the part where I stated "maybe it wasn't planned as a genocide at first, but it later developed into one". Maybe broad for you, but not for others. It's not really hard to establish a "deliberation" when this particular perpetrator was a Islamic regime that openly hoped to establish a "only muslim" society. "4. That is quite subjective evaluation. Calling something genocide or ethnic cleansing implies there are different magnitudes of the atrocity being committed. That implies there is an ordering of these atrocities, and those called genocide are worse than those called ethnic cleansing. This necessarily brings into debate what other atrocities are called. Hence my discussion surrounding the nuking of Japan." Both are the same? Mass killing is mass killing, targeting a specific group of people, and furthermore stealing their property, while denying them the very basis of human rights, forcing them to work as slaves (let's not forget the armenian conscripts in the ottoman empire army who were forced to work then later died from executions)/ The list literally goes on and on. Ethnic cleansing is a term meant to generally underplay horrible events such as this by trying to make it seem small and insignificant. However, one can argue how ethnic cleansing is one of the major steps in genocide. "5. No one is saying you should disregard the events. Neither is anyone here saying that it was a good thing. I have repeatedly said that it was a horrible crime and those responsible should have been executed. However, Armenian Genocide has been elevated to a whole different level in the West. If you deny that the events were a genocide in France, you get imprisoned. Now, that's completely retarded and is an oppression of freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Just imagine if another country imprisoned Americans because they didn't accept that nuking Japan constituted a genocide" Disregarding it as a genocide is ignoring the significance of the event, especially in this case. Secondly, I didn't say you were calling it a "good" thing, I merely stated how it shouldn't be seen as an incentive to dismiss this from being a "genocide". Yeah, I know it may be a whole different level in the west, but it doesn't justify Turkey's unwillingness to accept its past darkening event as a genocide. Do I agree people should be locked up for denying events that are a genocide? No, I didn't suggest a proposal to counter widespread unwillingness to accept such said events. Your final sentence is sorta hilarious. Basically, you just used a out of proportion to try and prove your point (which we weren't even debating about lol). Secondly, any bill concerning that type of legislation being passed is doubtful and unimaginable, especially in a country very patriotic on most of its wars lol. "6. Yeah, yeah, the evil Turk. I gotcha." Am I racist bigot too? No, for one I made that statement for two reasons: 1. You're a apologist 2. I made observance earlier on how you easily dismiss certain articles and webpages that pertain to the genocide.

I don't know why you have this mentality of "if the other governments don't recognize their genocides why should we?", but I don't see it as a justification in denying Armenians were a victim of a genocide. Ethnic cleansing is just a whitewash term for referencing to genocides in a somehow positive way. During the years of World War 1, the Ottoman Empire passed this law called the "Tehcir Law" (I'm sure you're aware of it) giving the Ottoman government and military the right to deport anyone they sense a threat to "national security", it went even as far as allowing the confiscation of deported people's property. However, this law was later used to deport huge amount of Armenians from their native homeland, whom would later be killed in death marches, some concentration camps (not extensive, but were there), drownings, burning Armenian villages to the ground, use of poison overdoses or other chemical components, or just outright executions. The definition of genocide is "the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation". This event, by all means, fits the criteria to be marked down in history as a "genocide". Maybe, it wasn't suppose to be based on systematic killing of the Armenian population at first, but it later developed into mass killing targeting Armenians under the guise of "deportations". This particular event should go down in history as a "genocide", but the use of "ethnic cleansing" just underplays how tragic and horrifying this event was. Ethnic cleansing, if I may add, usually (if not always) results in mass killing of a targeted group of people. If you compare genocide and ethnic cleansing, they nearly represent the same meaning in reality, hence why several nations and people regard this specific event as a "genocide". However, back to the point of "well if other governments won't recognize their genocides why should we", is counter-productive and creates a pointless debate of dodging the main question of how this is labeled as a genocide, it shouldn't be viewed as an incentive to disregard mass killings against ethnic groups, religious affiliations, or anyone of any background at all. I'm not posting proof as you'll probably dismiss it for some odd reason. edit: I probably should've covered more of the Turkish Republic regime in the 1920's, but you get the point.

When you say, "guerrilla activities by Armenians", are you referencing to the Armenian Fedayi or just unorganized militias?

On June 17, 2006, Aurburgian geologist discovered a new rare earth element in a mining exploration operation.The mineral was discovered to emit off enormous waves of energy while remaining stable. Geologist have given the newly discovered mineral the name "Petrusite". Aurburgian military forces have sealed the area off, while scientist analyze the newly found element. However, the Aurburgian State Grid Corporation (ASGC Aurburgian Staatlicheius Energiewirtschaftmzuamus) has been giving mining rights to mine and enrich "Petrusite" resources from the region. Some leading scientist, such as the profound geologist Franz Kompfeus, have claimed "Petrusite" could theoretically power Aurburg for years to come, while ending the need for other uses of energy resources if energy from "Petrusite" is harvested and used in an effective manner. The Aurburgian Stehelamus (senate) has passed legislation funding A.S.G.C projects relating to understanding, harvesting, and mining Petrusite for the benefit of the country. However, many leading scientist, in the field of study to understanding minerals, have claimed it could take years, if not decades to fully understand Petrusite on the atomic level for how it produces energy on an enormous level. The Aurburgian Royal Army has taken a particular interest in Petrusite for developing weapons and systems within the military. However, one again, understanding and harvesting the power of Petrusite could take decades for effective use, but doesn't dis-encourage the military from taking ambitious steps in weaponize the new element. Hochkopp, Krustev Gunther, has stated, "Another innovative discovery in the field of science. Petrusite could effectively lead to weapon dev- I mean, clean energy solutions for the country, while at the same time exporting for a hefty profit for the prosperity of the country". (OCC: no, i'm not going to say "hey we found this now we have unlimited energy, and we have op'd weapons", i actually will type detailed forums leading to the development of how petrusite is researched upon and later transforms the country)

Um sure, lol. I'd just like to point out that the census (better yet all of them) undertook by the Ottoman Empire didn't really specify on ethnic groups. Firstly, if you were "Muslim" you were automatically added to that category in the census, regardless of your background or ethnic group you are apart of. The Ottoman Empire censuses only gathered information on your religious affiliation, not a person's ethnicity. In the Ottoman Empire eyes to be considered "Armenian" you had to be an adherent of the Armenian Apostolic Church (or the armenian catholic branch). The same goes for the Greeks who were regarded as "Orthodox" in specific regions of the empire, once again had to be an adherent to the orthodox church, which once again goes to show this was motivated to show what religious affiliation people belonged to. I'm not really arguing against the claim of how many exactly die (doesn't really matter, it was mass killing on a specific type of people and should be regarded as a genocide), but the use of Ottoman Empire censuses as "reliable sources" is dubious. I mean, the Ottoman Empire openly promoted the concept of "Ottomanism", which later espoused Islamism and tried to integrate all people under Ottoman rule under one distinction of being "Muslim".

The Principality of Aurburg has declared neutrality in this recent conflict. However, Krustev Gunther, Hochkopp of all Aurburgians, has secretly instructed state-owned munitions factories in the rustungsindustriemus (arms industry) to export munitions to both sides. When questioned by a reporter on the recent build up of a military industrial-complex, His Majesty Krustev Gunther stated; "I'm all for peace! Our companies are simply exporting, um... HUMANITARIAN aid, yes!".

tl;dr people came to a mountain, they made more people, they became commies, then they had a civil war, then boom monarchy brought back after a 40 year dictatorship (OOC: That was the literal point of this forum, lol. It was meant to be long and informative at the same time.)

(Note; this isn't actually in German, it's in the made up language of Aurburgian) - Gebuhrte auss Aurburg - In 1034, a beigut (small tax-in-grain collecting manor) was established in Aurwild, which was rather far away from the governing rittergut (knight's manor) in Jägerecht. The beigut was named Aurburg and von Schwachschekopp was chosen to be the governing family. Their territories were small at first and taxes weren't sufficient to maintain the beigut or the peasants in case of crop failure, which led to starvation's, as owing debt to Jägerecht was out of question. - Schawchschekopperduhrstefürehrohberunge - As Martin Luther's writings spread to Aurburg, majority of the local churches converted from Catholic to Lutheran and so did Günther von Schawchschekopp. In the Thirty Years' War Günther von Schawchschekopp fought on the Protestant side and captured the Catholic ritterguts of Jägerecht, Näßetrinkenthale, Räuchenvehrgebblichemannheim and Pfischehaßemiche am See, uniting those territories under Aurburg. Afterwards Günther von Schawchschekopp claimed sovereignty from the Holy Roman Empire and he was named the Landgrave Günther I of Aurburg. - Grafschapfte Aurburg - Aurburg was a safe haven for all Lutherans. Aurburgian population grew immensely from masses of Protestants flocking in from French and German cultural spaces. Landgrave Dieter I, son of Günther I, commissioned all agronomists to start researching new ways to cultivate the mountainous terrain in Aurburg so that the output of farms would be able to keep up with the growing demand for bread. After two decades the improvements had been implemented and food wasn't in scarcity anymore. The rest of the century is considered the Golden Age of the von Schawchschekopp Aurburg (Glüchklichezeihteimälteaurelien). After nearly three centuries of peace, Napoleon Bonaparte turns Aurburg into a puppet state dependent on France and has Dieter XI put under house arrest. After Napoleon was overthrown, Dieter XI resumed on his throne. In 1841 Günther VIII was crowned the Landgrave. Günther VIII ordered the establishing of a railroad network and the modernization of the Gräffenwaffentruppe, which gained him support among his subjects. In 1886, diagnosed with incurable tuberculosis, Günther VIII had Aurburg City completely rebuilt, bankrupting the nation of Aurburg and completely obliterating his popularity. - Zweihezehnesaalhabenzahlenschaftundsozialetraurihgekeit - The bankruptcy led to twenty years of economic and social depression, which spawned many revolutionary movements. Marxist literature was proliferating all over Aurburg. Multiple attempted assassinations were done on Günther IX, but all failed. Grafschapfte Aurburg was an absolute monarchy till its end. With unrealistic inflation, shortages of food and electricity and constant redundancies at factories, members of the illegal movements had had enough and their united forces (Fürrävoluziohnervehrbuhndeweehrtruppe) took Aurburg with no bloodshed in January 1906. Landgrave Günther IX von Schwachschekopp fled the capital and tried to flee to Switzerland by crossing the Alps alone, but he got caught in a snow storm and died of hypothermia. - Heimheimevehrrätendekriege - In 1906, the Constituent Committee (Vehrfaßungegehbenderausszchuchsse) founded the Federal Republic of Aurburg. In the 1906 Stehensaal elections, the Radical Social Democrats won the majority. The Stehensaal founded the National Provision Collecting Court (Landeslehbensmidtelsammlungehoffe) and the National Post, Telegraph and Telephone Service (Landesposchtetelegrapfetelepfonewerkenringe). They outlawed bourgeois things, such as operas, ballets and motorized vehicles. Many people were publically shamed and shot (Buhrzchuahscherbeschämmendungundehrschiessene). In September 1906 the Moderate Social Democrats started riots against the ruling Radical Social Democrats, which is counted as the beginning of the Aurburgian Civil War. In 1907 and 1908, Libertarian Socialists and Moderate Social Democrats are elected the majority in the Stehensaal. The National Construction Company (Landesbaugeschelleschapfte) and the National Transportation Service (Landespfernebeföhrdenwerkenringe) are founded. In 1909, the Communist Party emerges from nowhere and takes the Stehensaal by force. They arrest and execute many Liberal Socialists and Radical Social Democrats and the surviving Moderate Social Democrats are declared outlaws. After the Battle over Aurburg in 1912, the War ends with the Communists losing. - Aureliensche Föderaalsche Friedelande - In 1913, Moderate Social Democrats pass many new laws to stabilize Aurburg. Martial Law is declared and the Stehensaal elections are postponed. The National Arms Factory (Landeswaffengemachterei), National Cordial Monopoly (Landesgeihstetränkemonopohl) and National Broadcasting Union (Landesfunkwohgesendungenbuhnde) are founded. In 1915, the Nationwide Work Hours' System (Landesbehehrrschtewerkendeztunden) is adopted with the Half Hour Siesta (Taggesmidtelhälbeztuhndewerkeruhche). In 1919, Communists are allowed to reassemble once again and run in the Stehensaal elections, the Bourgeois community sees revitalization. In 1927, Moderate Social Democrat of the Democratic Centre Union Dr. Hans is elected Hochkopp by the Stehensaal and since then he has been running each year unopposed. The Nationwide Work Hours' System is divided into three categories. In 1930, begins a construction boom and the Räuchenvehrgebblichemannheim Aerodrome is built. - Aurburgianzmen Klauzztemisenus - In 1963 the Aurburgian economy completely collapsed which led to the rise of the Totalitarian dictator named, "Franz Von Dietrich". Whom would later establish a cult of personality with propaganda posters to movies, erecting large statues of himself, even claiming he descended directly from a rainbow. In 1964, Franz Von Dietrich dissolved the republic and proclaimed the "State of Aurburg". Franz Von Dietrich, known for extreme paranoia, had a massive purge within his government and military forces, and arrested thousands of innocent civilians, most of whom were later shot for "treason". In 1969, Aurburgian Armed Forces crossed the German border and annexed the State of Bavaria. In 1971, Aurburg and the United States of America would later establish warm diplomatic ties, though some questioned it, but most people agree it was done in countering the Soviet Union's influence in Europe. In 1978, Aurburg City was a victim of a Soviet-sponsored terror attack by the Aurburgianizemus Freikopranusma (Aurburgian Revolutionary Forces), which Franz Von Dietrich would later exploit for an invasion of East Germany (DDR). In 1982, under U.S support the Aurburgian Armed Forces (AAF) invaded and occupied East Germany, the Soviet Union did not act due to a stagnated economy and drained resources from the War in Afghanistan. - Aurburgian Demoktractiaenus - In 1991, the Aurburgian Government ended the occupation of East Germany and unified it with Western Germany. In 1993, with the Cold War over, U.S support for Aurburg ceased as the U.S government had shifted diplomatic policies and condemn current dictatorships. Later that year, in June the 17'th, popular protests occurred all over the country demanding political freedoms to be restored, many also protested for the return of democracy. Up to July, Franz Von Dietrich tried his best to preserve his crumbling dictatorship, but with diplomatic support for his regime gone, his nation on the verge of revolution, and even his most loyal commanders starting to sympathize with the people, he was overthrown in a well-planned military coup. The Military Junta was called "Aurburg Peace and Reconciliation Council", which, unlike the previous regime, was socially better and provided greater freedoms to the people, but had retained the nation's name of "Free State of Aurburg". In 2001, a referendum was scheduled for a vote to either return the monarchy or the republic. Many pro-monarchist parties campaigned extensively, whereas the Social Democrats campaigned for the return of the republic. In November 2001, the referendum voting had ended, with 98% of the population turning out to vote. The results for the return of the monarchy was 78%, while the Republic only gained 22% of the vote. Krustev Gunther, head of the Grunther Dynasty, was crowned Hochkoppmus (Prince) of the newly proclaimed, "Principality of Aurburg". As the economy under the monarchy of Krustev Gunther flourishes, socially progressive, and political freedoms maintained, the people's support for the monarchy is at a all time high.

According to who? The military coup was done to stop an Islamist-regime, as it's prime goal was to upheld the very basis of a secular and democratic society, not go on and create an "Islam-based regime". However, Erdogan's government is far from secular, it funds Islamist organizations from Syria to abroad, while funding international mosques, and has in the past and still is trying to impose the very basis of sharia law.
