It's all one flower.

1943. The plight of embassies

"Such a stupid thing...!"

The words of surprise did not last long, Senator Lacquesus.

As usual, in the reception room of the Embassy of the Republic of Namoraris in the Kingdom of Amitostigma, the veterans are alone with Ambassador Eny.

The ambassador placed the tablet on the table and turned to the veterans.

This SNS is headquartered in the Federation of Barbados.

Official account of the Embassy in the Kingdom of Amitostigma, operated by Ambassador Eny.

It seems to be a public exchange rather than an individual message, but one party's remarks continue to be grayed out with the words “deleted.”

The ambassador clicks on the link to the other party's account that appears in his remarks.

The words “This account does not exist” appear in a large font and you don't even know who the account was.

This is the account of Ambassador Smelchi to the United Nations in the Federation of Barbados.

What? What do you mean?

Ambassador Smelchi has carefully avoided political statements by translating and spreading the common language of Ambassador Enee's post introducing the Republic of Nemorallis.

Of course, these terms do not prohibit abusive or discriminatory remarks, obscene remarks, or pornographic photographs.

"The UN Security Council's arms embargo and the economic sanctions imposed by the Council of Twenty Economic Powers."

So why is my SNS account gone?

"There was no communication or announcement from the operating company of SNS, and it was suddenly deleted, but it is probably related to the communication of the arms embargo."

"Have you ever posted anything like that?"

Senator Lacques couldn't believe it.

Photographs of the landscape of the Republic of Nemoraris, ethnic costumes and how to prepare local dishes violate the arms embargo.

“The phone company and provider have contacted us to cancel the contract by the end of the month.”

“What... would that interfere with the work of the United Nations?”

“Of course, my country's UN Secretariat protested against the companies, and I complained to the Barbatum Federal Government and UN Headquarters about the irrationality, but they didn't get anywhere.”

If only one public institution in the Nemorallis Republic that disseminates information in a common language disappears from the computer world, it will be easier to pass through the one-sided remarks and fake news of the Artel Republic.

It is a serious barbaric act as a person to swallow only one word and convict the other. However, without that "other voice" at all, it becomes difficult to judge whether things are good or evil, or whether they are true or false.

In interstate litigation, there is a jurisdictional issue, and although it cannot be said in general, in civil litigation to which individuals and corporations are parties, if there is no response, procedurally, the plaintiff's action will have to be fully recognized.

The latter is generally familiar.

If we stay like this, we won't be able to fight the propaganda of the Arterial Republic.

How about Ambassador Enee and the other embassies?

"For now, we're fine here." But the embassies of twenty economic powers and countries with which those countries have close relations are in the same pain as the United Nations Secretariat. ”

"When did you end up in such a terrible place..."

“After the economic sanctions came into force, especially the internet-related ones, have been in motion for the last few days. And that's not all.”

Ambassador Enee took a tea cup in his hand, exhaling heavily. She raises the steam of herbal tea to the height of her face.

"They're refusing to sell groceries locally because of the arms embargo."

Oh, that's permissible!

Senator Lacques clenched his fist.

“Of course (of course), I've protested, but I can't help complaining to the retailer. They have also vigorously protested to the local government, United Nations Headquarters, and the governments and secretariats of the Twenty National Economic Powers Conferences that this is a gross violation of human rights that contravenes the provisions of international humanitarian law on the protection of civilians.”

"What's that over there...?"

The veteran became frightened to hear the results, but narrowed down the rhetoric.

"The wizard has the power to fight even children, so he can interpret it as not being like a civilian... some ambassadors have been ridiculed for giving out magic as much as food."

"Such a foolish interpretation."

If that is the case, countries with loose gun regulations in the area of scientific and civilized countries will be limited to a small number of civilians, such as infants and children.

For example, in the Barbados Federation, the carrying of a gun is permitted from the age of five, although under the condition of parental supervision.

Small guns with cute designs for children with lethal power are commonly displayed in supermarkets and other places, and are sold cheaply.

Every year, there are about 10,000 accidents in which family members are killed by accidental shooting by children.

In some countries he is basically allowed to carry guns except for infants under the age of five, mentally ill patients, and ex-convicts.

Since there are few Barbatum people who do not know how to handle guns, they will think that "Barbatum Federation people have fighting power even women and children".

The Federal Gun Association loudly states that guns are necessary to protect themselves and are one of the fundamental human rights.

In contrast, the only people allowed to carry guns in the Republic of Nemoraris are military and police officers who are performing their duties, exterminators and hunters who have been given special permits after rigorous screening.

They are not allowed to carry guns unless it is necessary for their work. In addition, bullets used by private merchants are very expensive, marked with a curse against monsters and beasts.

During the half-century of civil strife, guns and inexpensive ammunition were sold among the powerless, but after the end of the civil strife, the Nemorallis and Lacrimalis governments recovered civilian guns by purchase.

Even today, about thirty years later, old guns are occasionally found in rural lockups, but accidents and crimes caused by guns are extremely rare.

In the Aether Republic, guns are widely used to defend against magic beasts, but most bullets are made of silver and are expensive.

In these three countries, there were no instances of ordinary people firing automatic small guns in schools or shopping malls, such as in the Barbados Federation.

“On the ground, the diplomats of the Republic of Nemoraris are silenced and this is not even reported.”

“How are the embassies eating?”

"The embassies of friendly countries, including mine, will procure it and they will come to collect it."

I can carry a lot of magic bags at once, but I can make extra effort and expense.

Diplomats and old exiles were sighing at the same time.
