Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

“We won’t have a future unless we improve police numbers and rebuild the military,” says General Sayid Hill. “Oh, it’s all well and good to have your fancy education and your nice cars, until some tinpot dictatorship decides to invade. And don’t pretend like there aren’t any of them in our region. Our number one priority has to be security.”

Me:
*looks out of the window and sees thousands of tanks and millions of fully armed men and women saluting their supreme leader, turns back to look at map of Europe, looks for dictatorships, sees pacifistic wannabe USSR at the opposite end of the continent turns back to general*

what the fu*k is he smoking.....

EDIT:
The Issue
Despite the government of Spanelsko previously stating opposition to religion, national surveys reveal that a significant percentage of the population continues to have religious beliefs.

The Debate
“Let’s be methodical, shall we?” asks Lieutenant Colonel Dolf Ikeman rhetorically, carefully placing a glass vial containing prussic acid onto your desk. “Opposing the state line on religion is just one step away from opposing the state line on ideology or law. Round up these religious dissidents, load them onto a cargo train, and move them to processing camps for... terminal processing.”

Well the democratic experiment really went south quickly i guess. Guess its time to write my own "struggle" (yes i made THAT joke)

EDIT2
The Talking Point
You can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Spanelsko but at least the trains run on time.

Office of the Leader

Aleksi: Tell me something, General. I have to wonder if we chose the right path. -pulls a chair up and takes a seat at the desk- We are one of the most loved nations in the entire Confederacy due to our compassion, but I fear our military is mocked daily.

General Romanov: It is indeed nice to be loved. And please, Dear Leader, relax yourself. Our military is more than capable of responding to any threat.

Aleksi: -shifts uncomfortably in seat- That may be, but we are too pacifist. Especially with psychotic nutheads like the Great Khan on the other side of Europe. We need to act. Expand our territory.

General Romanov: While I am against such hostility, you do have a point. Shall I inform the rest of the officers?

Aleksi: With the Royal Sisters as my witness, it is time for Russia to act like she should. Yes, assemble the officers. -leans back in chair, puffs on a cigar- We have some planning to do. -spins around, gazes out the window at the national flag fluttering in the breeze- ....... -to self- God forgive us.
