The Hawk Manifesto:
Our mission is to assure that our nation will be in a position to allow AS MANY victory types by end game as possble. This requires strong, aggressive military action, especially early, to ensure ourselves a position where Domination and Conquest are possible. Building improvements and Wonders will be done in the times where we are either at peace, or our military is deemed adequate to it's task. Once we have built our nation, we should rotate military with other priorities to assure our dominance in all areas.
We believe science should focus on what is most needed at the time, be it a wonder tech, or a military advance. Trading tech should preferrably be done in return for other tech or needed resources. Trading away tech for cash should only be done when it is either a dire need, or would cripple a rival's economy, thereby giving us a further lead.
We promote and advocate wars that -can be won-, be they to gain territory, resources, or simply to slow an opponent or deny resources. We DO NOT advocate prolonged wars that will strangle our economy and resources. Before declaring war, our nation should have a clear view of the objectives already in place. There are many civ's out there who will challenge our dominance, carefull planning and adaptation will be required for the military to succeed.
We welcome opposing views and parties, as competition leads to greater strength. Debate and votes are essential to our society, and we will leave major decisions on what is best to the people, as they are the true strength of Apolytonia. While we may oppose others views, we realize that the enemy lies without, and not within, and will work to achieve a cooperation between parties to meet the greater good. We believe in the Democratic process and will actively work to ensure the people's will is carried out.
What do you think?

may I ask what your thinking (?) is on atrocities (appeal or not) because they are almost all war related....and if you believe in war i suggest you read 'The art of war' by Sun Ztu his views on the battlefield are great but no more great then his views on the state and war...... |
While we are listing reading references, might I also suggest the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu (which Sun Tzu's work is based on) and the essays of Sun Ping (who refined Sun Tzu's work for a more modern era)
The seperation of military and state truly cannot be done, as Sun Tzu suggests. There is a time and place for military action, but this party is to make sure that when the time is there, we are in a place to use the military. Atrocities should be taken IMO on a case by case basis, and upon evaluating the situation at the time.
TKG, if you are referring to the manifesto, I wrote that for the Civ 3 game (yes, I wrote it, but jdd is president of the party and editted my work making me rewrite it what, 4 times...). It does need to be adjusted some to fit in here more appropriately, but the basic idea will remain.

Originally posted by UnOrthOdOx The only way we would ever agree to such an alliance is if we maintain our seperate nature. Your position of peace first, but we will defend ourselves turns my stomach, quite frankly. We should be imposing our will, not reacting. Force others to react to us. Think how much easier it would be to spread your word if all factions united under us. |
I should inform you that the hard-liners of the Fundie Party (well, so far just me  ) are behind that philosophy 100%. As God delivered Og, the King of Bashan, to the hands of Israelites so that they may utterly destroy him and his wicked kingdom, so too shall He deliver us the heads of other factions on this planet that is ours by Divine Intervention and God's Will alone. The only exception of course being that kind, wise leader of the Believers, Miriam Godwinson... God Bless her and may her righteousness shine upon the rest of us!
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
(Hebrews 11:32-34)
