If that were true why is more than 50% of your population over 18 addicted to party drugs, why do your officials live such opulent lives while the masses live in slums, why do your elected officials share the blame of executions amongst the people, why can the Intaki not secede from your Federation, why do your people not accept the Caldari right to independence, why do your people not treat their prisoners of war as human, why do your soldiers **** the women and torture the men while preaching the word of human dignity?
Why is your Federation built on lies and deceit, the , manipulation of the weak, and control through drugs, mass media and fear?
While it is true that the Gallante use the most synthetic recreational drugs, the Minmatar are well documented to use many drugs in regular tribal ceremonies and the Caldari are regular consumers of easy to prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. Economically speaking, the Gallante Federation allows the quickest movement through the social ladder of any of the four domains. This means that there are many poor people and many wealthy people, outside of forcibly assigning people jobs, this is not easily remedied while still allowing people the freedom of choice. That said, we are focused on providing better education for poor areas in the Federation.
As for Intaki secession, I, as a member of an Intaki lineage, can tell you that not all of us wish for secession, despite what the Caldari May recount. Many fail to realize that some of the most influential people in the Federation are of Intaki blood. In terms of influence, the Intaki are equal to the ethnic Gallante.
The Caldari are stalkers that would love nothing more than to destroy the Federation, mostly to get rid of our competing corporations. Ironically enough, the Caldari economy and political structure is flawed. It is based on the notion that they are in constant threat from the Federation. This notion builds high nationalism, keeps people from complaining, keeps the Corporations from fighting eachother and gives people a boogeyman to blame their problems on. You watch, if the Federation suddenly stops threatening the State, they will start eating their own tail.
As for how we treat prisoners, well, you must make examples out of the opposition. While our methods may seem terrible, I can assure you they are not anymore atrocious than the methods used by the Amarr, Caldari and Minmatar. Now, when it comes to how our warriors treat the conquered, I assure you that our soldiers do no more damage than is necessary.
Many of The Federation's shortcomings are well documented simply due to its media which is protected by freedom of information and freedom of speech. This does not undermine our message, it simply shows our dedication to honesty, and of course liberty.
