Not that anyone cares, but for the purposes of truth, I discovered this:Andreas the Wise wrote:That was a complete accident, sorry, the name was one of a list I made up randomly that sounded cool ...Zatriarch Maximillideus wrote:I've also just now seen that one of Novatainia's cities is called Treblinka.
I don't know if that's appropriate or not- after all, I doubt anyone would be too happy having an Auschwitz on the MCS map, so why must we have a Treblinka?
I didn't think I'd need to google every one to check if they were taken, obviously I was wrong ...
We shall change it soon.
Actually, I'm told, I'm a twit. My memory is failing me in my old age ... that name was actually made by another citizen who was aware of its connotations, and was
I really should check before assuming I made up every name in Novatainia, occasionally others do work too ....reading Mila 18 by Leon Uris, it's about Jewish underground in the Warsaw ghetto. Inspiring stuff. They named all their underground bunkers, ironically enough, after Nazi death camps.

that is probably one fo the most contradictory and lack-lustre forms of declaring human Rights I have ever read. I don't mean that the contents within are neccesarily bad things, but that they executed it very poorly.UDHR
One of the more important things to note is that they drew upon no specific philosophy of freedom when writing it, leaving the writing dull, and unfortunatly contradictory to many beliefs and to itself in many places.
I may consider creating on here in Micronationalism that shall draw upon many more sources than that document. Although I can't count upon it being translated into as many languages, I believe it would be an interesting enough document.

i think that for us to be arguing over concentration camps is horrible. Someone i know, her grandmaw survived the holocaust and she is still hurting from it 50 something years later, if not more. millions of people died and you are arguing over the right to use a name. No one has the right to bring pain to another person. And this is a time in our history that is VERY painful and embarrassing. Grow up and quit acting like ignorant children.

Write your own, if it worries you. I think most micronations manage fine, because if they mistreat their citizens, they'll leave (and nobody wants to lose citizens ...)

Exactly. But violations of human rights aren't the same as an entire genocide. That's much, much worse- though I'm not saying I approve of any one.
And the Czar of Landingberg is right, totally- let's just stop arguing about this. Wilhelm of Holzborg has explained to me, and so has Andreas the Wise.

Anyhoo. Since when was it the place of the MCS to dictate morality? (This has come up before..) We can omit names like "Testical" proly on grounds of obscenity or whatever... but removing a name that comes from a concentration camp is out of our hands as an organization. We may not like it, and may ask they remove it, or for permission not to include it.. but we can't remove it just because we think it's unethical to have such a city name. Hell, the testical example proly falls under the same grounds. I disapprove on both counts, but as a neutral organization the MCS gets no real say.
