Intergalactic Summit

Good evening, New Eden.

We all like to crack jokes at the new kid on the block. The Minmatar Republic has come a long away from it's infancy, in certain ways its similar to people that matured very early in their lives due to how harsh their existence is and by discovering very early the weight of responsibility for their actions.

Yes, the Republic faces many problems. They have a much higher rate of crime than us, combined with an untrustworthy education system and disparity in regional development. Although their tribal culture and society is a great source of pride for them, it also holds them back at the same time. Perhaps if they kept their tribal culture to small ceremonial customs and not make it an essential part of their everyday lives it would not hamper their civilization as much.

However they have taken large strides elsewhere. They have taken good initiative in order to keep their territory solid and strong despite some setbacks, proving to the Federation and everyone else that it's capable of integrating the amount of space they carved for themselves and quickly rose to a position of leadership in New Eden.

In politics the Minmatar Republic is also not shy to function as an actor in international relations, taking New Eden by storm as they increment their economical initiatives visioning both short term and long term economical growth. As their economical power has been rising so has their presence internationally.

The Minmatar Republic has shown no signs of hesitation may it be in economics, diplomacy, politics or even in military matters. This initiative cements their already strong presence in New Eden. Quoting Federation senator Frei Albot from a few years ago "The Minmatar Republic's rising prominence derives from the steps they have taken towards a democratic rule and a strong economy."

While the other Empires have been developing and slowly advancing in their pace, the Republic always had the responsibility to play the catch up game. This great responsibility together with a small fraction of aid from the Federation allowed them to grow and develop from virtually nowhere to where they stand now. The Minmatar Republic has the potential to have a booming economy, increased military might, a constantly growing self-confidence in its own power and a natural ability to make its own way in the universe.

One thing is for sure though whether you like them or not: the Republic is here to stay and the only way they are going is up.

Aren't you quick to judge or do you claim yourself to be a mind reader?

Perhaps if you read things a little less literally you'd not make a fool out of yourself.

What does Monsieur mean? That sounds a bit like my language but it doesn't have any meaning.

Anyways I'll go ahead and stand by my words considering the amount of praise I sung to them.

You probably shouldn't have put that remark on tribal customs so close to the top of your post. People are only going to read a little into it, then get offended and stop. It's going to make you come across badly.

The best manner to deliver such a sentiment would be inserted between two of the many compliments you also made, to keep your overall tone consistantly positive. People would be more accepting and perhaps even considering of the opinion if it was done such; At the moment it rather reads like a punch in the gut, then several paragraphs spent treating the wound.

Thank you for your comments and particularly for the recommendation Miss Gwen. However despite my goal to write this article with a positive outlook it wasn't my intention to either gain merit or desmerit from anyone in particular. I only desired to speak my mind on the subject.

Really?, that was the biggest load of crap i have seen. Since yesterday, bigger crime rate?, held back by tribal culture?.
You do not understand and thus it must be bad, i do not know to whom you asked your questions or from what sources you got your information.

But it's down right insulting..

Perhaps if you would read the article to its entirety before jumping to conclusions you would not be so vulgar.

I did. All I read was a back handed "compliment" to the people of the Republic. But honestly, what the hell man? What you might perceive as a little "jest" about their ceremonies is, to a Matari, a gigantic insult. That's like telling a Gallente that if he didn't care so much about liberty, democracy, and individuality that they might advance in the cluster, but then saying "oh but at least you guys have your little empire going! It's so nice to see!"

Give me a gods damn break. Don't think you can hide behind smoke and mirror journalism and get away with a few jabs. Seriously, what the hell is going on with anti-Minmatar sentiment recently?

Are you a real reporter, with credentials and the like? You should consider employment with Muck Racker.

Hey we're not all like that. Don't lump all of us in with him. Every Empire has their derps.
