Ok yes I know, we don’t want one…but couldn’t resist the chance to rant…urm I mean come up with something which covers everything to do with us since there was a few challenges kicking around about how its not possible to come up with a document which covers what the neutral population is at the moment
And yes, before I get a line of complaints this is “mostly” all in jest...and no I am not poking fun of the “Neutral Manifesto” from Newland (well not much anyhow), as that is a serious document with the backing of a council...and this is the rambling rants of a old nanomage whos into blowing things up. I’m just trying to show its possible (or try) to cover the “neutral” population in a document that both Clan and Omni can understand, what and who we are by describing the basic “rights” of what binds all “neutrals” together.
Right of Freedom
This is by far the biggest element in what it is to be “neutral”. Our ability to be free. Free to roam the planet, and free to live our lives how we wish. Not to be persecuted for our beliefs even if they may sometimes bend a few laws in other parts of the planet. Our freedom not to be confined, oppressed or limited by others.
Right of Liberty
Our right to be immune from the laws not chosen by the neutral populace…hard to define per say but in brief, we choose our laws that we live by. We don’t have to follow those imposed on us by Omni or the Clans. To be completely independent and autonomous of Omni and Clan authority over our lives, rights, and beliefs.
Right of Free Speech
Everyone has a right to argue as much as they like (had to since I argue with every bugger else hehe). The ability to speak freely about anything and everything. To not be hindered from being allowed to speak their minds about anything which can effect their rights, themselves, or their family.
Right to Carry Arms
Rubi-ka is a dangerous planet. You never know when someone, or something is going to try snacking on you. So the ability for “neutral” citizens to carry a weapon, is both paramount to their existence, and continued existence to live on Rubi-ka…as in accordance to the Right to Defend and Right of Freedom.
Right to Defend
Their own lives, their family, their freedom, their liberty, and any property they may own. Rubi-ka has many hostile people, some maybe other “neutrals”, some might be from one of the “factions”, and some may even be from off world. It doesn’t matter who they are, but every neutral should have the right to be able to defend themselves. Be that with a weapon or through the courts fairly.
