**The OG: Why Separatism Has NO Place in THIS Game.**

eRepublik is an online simulation created in November of 2007 as an alternate reality.
There is no history in this game, believe it or not.
Any and all history, customs and conventions that exist in this game have come from what our founding players decided we want to include in November 2007.
They may be for the most part what real life Canada has, and due to game mechanics and the ability to start from scratch, they provide an alternate history based on other systems.
There is no such thing as separatism. There is no Bouchard or Tremblay.
There have been no referendums, protests or debates about this.
Quebec has been a part of our nation just like the other twelve regions since November 2007.
There was no Confederation.
There was simply a birth from Code.
There has been no mixed settlement of nationalities.
As far as I'm concerned, Ontario speaks Russian. Quebec is Chinese and PEI is fully bilingual in English and Dutch.
Whatever the fu*k you bring in from real life ends the minute you type "erepublik.com" into your browser.
Therefore, I will remind all one more time:
If you believe that French is a language to be cherished, that is fine. So is English.
And so is Russian. And so is Arabic.
Whatever the players make our nation, is what it is.
There is no real life history or sentiments involved so leave them at the door and avoid pointless conflict.
If your fantasies and fetishes of a real life country of Quebec can't come true then don't bother bringing them into here since you have as much validity as Yukon into separating and becoming a Theocratic Empire.
As Justice of the Supreme Court, I will mercilessly throw out any and all mentions of separatism, language terrorism or whatever is brought up, this goes for everyone.
As far as the Union Nationale is concerned, I have absolutely zero qualms with a party promoting French language, just like I would not mind any other language based party promoting other languages in this nation.
What we don't need is separatism based on real world problems.
This is not the real world.
Repeat it over and over and over until you understand.
Easiest way to remember?
We have a "President", in a "Republic", with a "Congress".
Cheers,
Banach

Free Yukon!
If I had more thumbs I'd raise them all. But for now I can only raise 2 thumbs.
Great job. It had to be said.
Amen brotha!
agree 100%
Another great article Banach!
Free Yukon from Heathen oppression.
what ^they^ said.
Interesting thought! This needs to be translated in the language of the franks!
V+S 😃
Banaque .. hI be Fransche Canajun from Montréal like yoo an' hI agree.
Me, hI only want da Parliament and da Prime Minister, not da Présiden' hand da Congresse.
Hahahaha .. MZ
P.S. C'est une joke! Je suis réelment frnaco. Don't no one take offense, là là.
Agreed!
Was ist dis separatiste scheiss? Canadienische Bundesdemocracie über alles ... ÜBER ALLES!
MZ
Drang macht Yukon .. Ja-WOHL! MZ
MZ you are quite the comedian!
Cheers for the colour commentary 😉
Je suis d'accord sur environ 99% de ton texte (et j'ai donc voté!), mais j'accroche sur un point:
En effet, le français ne doit pas prévaloir sur l'anglais, mais puisqu'un grande partie des joueurs de l'eCanada parlent français, il fallait trouver un moyen de promouvoir cette langue qui, au départ, n'avait pas sa place au sein du ePays. Si il fallait créer un parti et se tailler une place jusque dans le top 5, ainsi soit il!
Mais sinon, j'aime bien! Je n'ai jamais aimé les parallèles avec la vraie vie, c'est inutile et désuet.
Well, good paper Banach!! 😉
Voted for the end of government subsidizing culture.
We supported Ireland in its non eRep related land snatch, we even allowed it into the broalliance.
Merci M. Loiselle 🙂

I agree that there is no such thing as separatist in this game.
Obviously, Union Nationale is promoting the equality among all, without discrimination.
Tamas, you didn't support anything. You were in Serbia.
...you have as much validity as Yukon into separating and becoming a Theocratic Empire.
Shh! My plans will be spoiled by your loose tongue Banach!
That's getting really boring Shameplain.
Yes I did Spencer!, I supported the effort to stop RL Irish grudges over Norther Ireland seeping into the game.
agreed
I've been waiting for someone to say it... Good job, Banach.
I would hope that as a Justice you would show dignity and maturity in analyzing the merits of anything presented to you as opposed to using a blanket threat to throw anything out.
And so the debate between game play and role play rages on...
It worries me when a "Justice" passes decisions without seeing the merits of any argument...good to see our Justice system being reformed *sigh*
Also ich kann Mighty Zontar da nur zustimmen,
eine kanadische Bundesdemokratie mit deutscher
Sprache wäre etwas, was ich voll unterstützen würde.😁
@Banach lol as a self-described Crusader for realpolitik, perhaps it is best to remind you of the following (from Wiki):
"The term realpolitik is often used pejoratively to imply politics that are coercive, amoral, or Machiavellian"
HAIL King Amadeus!
i agree nice plan/ we dont need the problems created in our real life governments in ability to function in erepublic.
Besides BQ is more of provincial party and dosent even have electoral slots in the west so how can it be federal? All it does is cause or realife government to be Minority. WE NEED THREE REAL FEDERAL PARTIES NOT 3 AND A QUARTER. TO GET THIS REAL CANADA MOVING AGAIN
Acacia, its my opinion. Take it or leave it good sir.
My values are unchangeable and if you don't like how I express my self I encourage you to speak out...our media is a free entity.
Who is advocating what you call "separatism"? I'm not sure I could find a single thread about sovereignty on our forum. You don't need to convince yourself that secession won't happen. We know it won't. Heck, that's not even in the political program and none of our leaders ever promoted it.
The main purpose of the UN is cooperation, not division. This game is about cooperation, it would be foolish to divide and lose a great potential of mutual ressources. Also, "modern" Canada was not founded by Hungarians, Cambodians or Pygmy. It was founded by French and English colonists. So, nope, French and English can not and should not be treated like any other languages. They are the pillar languages of this nation. We don't disregard it in RL, we won't in this game.
Like it!
Je me questionne sur les intentions profondes de banach avec cet article.
Surtout quand je lis ceci : "If your fantasies and fetishes of a real life country of Quebec can't come true then don't bother bringing them into here since you have as much validity as Yukon into separating and becoming a Theocratic Empire."
Si tu souhaites vraiment que les questions IRL restent IRL, pourquoi alors écrire un autre article (encore...) pour dire que tu es contre le séparatisme. C'est une vieille tactique de Jean Chrétien que de lancer des tomates aux indépendantistes québécois afin de séduire l'électorat anglophone.
Well said to many time people confuse imaginary with the real. This is a game not real life. I once considered myself a separatist but see no need to go with that in this game.
After all that not a EA Sport game 😉
Je lis cet article et bien que je sois d'accord avec le contenu, je me questionne sur l'intention et le message envoyé.
Quelque chose ne tourne pas rond dans tout cela, c'est peut-être que de tels propos proviennent d'un juge de la cour suprême.
Enfin...
Борьба за свободную Онтарио товарищи!
Проголосовали. 😛
Don't you dare take Quebec from Canada. Well said Banach.
well done and truthful

Il n'y a que toi et trois-quatre autres trolls qui parlent de séparatisme ici.

Banach a dit ""Whatever the players make our nation, is what it is.""
Si tu comprenais ce que ça signifie tu essayerais pas de dire aux autres comment jouer.
Fox Bluch a écrit : "Quelque chose ne tourne pas rond dans tout cela, c'est peut-être que de tels propos proviennent d'un juge de la cour suprême."
Je n'avais pas réalisé que Banach était maintenant juge! C'est très déplorable.
Vive le Quenbec!
