If there were no Paradise, it would be necessary to create one
The Destiny Foundation is elated to announce its intention to found a corporate republic on a currently undisclosed planet in Federation space. Titled the Serene Respubliko of D'estinia, this nation will not only serve as a support headquarters for the Destiny Foundation, but stand as a model for what we want to achieve in the long-term through our ongoing philanthropic endeavours. We continue to be funded by 99% of all profits brought in by Anette Inhonores and her associated brand.
D'estinia will be founded on three core pillars; education, health, and technology. To us, it is the pursuit of excellence in these three areas that stands as the highest ideal of the Destiny Foundation. We acknowledge that this is an immense goal to see fulfilled across the hundreds of worlds currently inhabited by humans, but this only serves as a boon to our efforts. Humanity has only advanced through perseverance and persistence, and we believe it is in the Gallentean spirit to challenge the status quo.
May the saying 'children are the future' never grow old, for this is the core to the D'estinian belief system.
Education
Education is knowledge, and knowledge is the key to understanding. Only through the pursuit of knowledge may we come to understand each other and, in turn, hope for interstellar peace once more. The Destiny Foundation already seeks to improve access to education across dozens of poor Federation countries, by first and foremost improving access. This may be via the provision of textbooks to underequipped schools or even the development of AI teachers to supplement an absence of qualified individuals. With the founding of the Serene Respubliko, we hope to take this one step further.
The D'estinian Institute for Advancement in Education (DIAE) will be founded as an accredited university to write, print, and publish textbooks to be made available to planetary societies in need of study material. More importantly, DIAE will offer to train prospective teachers with official teaching qualifications to take back to their communities of origin. The Destiny Foundation will completely subsidize the provision of textbooks and the training of teachers. DIAE will also serve as an academic institution for students across New Eden, offering reasonable tuition fees for those from well-off backgrounds, and bursaries for the less-than-able.
DIAE will use the Caillean education system, though in its research of educational theory will consider the applications of other academic approaches. We are notably looking at Caldari techniques with regards to vocational level education.
Health
Even in the presence of opportunity, it is often the case that physical affliction and ailment hold individuals back from seizing their destiny. With the D'estinian Holistic Health Academy (DHHA), we hope to supplement our ongoing medical aid programs with an accredited university hospital. DHHA will research, develop, and manufacture medical supplies as provisions to communities afflicted by illness or disease. Indigenous populations across New Eden often suffer from illness brought on by off-world colonists, and we hope to develop vaccines for these groups in addition to others.
The Destiny Foundation believes that the complete wellbeing of an individual is more than simply a case of physical health. DHHA will study methods of therapy in sports and music, to be applied by Destiny Foundation volunteers in our healthcare programs. Potential applications of alternative forms of mental health will be another pursuit of the DHHA. We believe the healthy individual is a happy individual, and supporting all needs of a patient is key to this end.
As with the DIAE, the DHHA will also accredit talented individuals from poor Federation countries and other planetary societies to become doctors and nurses, in the spirit of self-reliance and -improvement. Again, the Destiny Foundation will completely subsidize prospective medical students.
Technology
Social technology such as GalNet has proven time and time again to reduce barriers between peoples and encourage understanding between groups and individuals. Assistive technology, too, has been able to supplement areas of societies which, for some reason or another, remain deficient. The Destiny Foundation believes that not only can technology assist individuals in relieving the burdens of everyday life, but can empower them with the means to aim for new heights.
The D'estinian Center of Technology (DCT) will develop and manufacture personal computers with GalNet access for distribution to community centers and schools in poor communities free of charge. A child with access to a cluster's worth of information can only aim higher. Bringing children together regardless of planet of origin is important in the pursuit of a cosmopolitan cluster. DCT will also develop solutions in artificial intelligence, especially AI teachers for communities without access to qualified educators. AI solutions will also be provided to poor governments in need of working and effective bureaucracies.
The Destiny Foundation is aware of heteronormative social orders that exist on many planets in New Eden as a result of poor infrastructure and conservative cultural practices. Specifically, the limitation of females to domestic duties is an unfortunate circumstance that we believe can be challenged. However, we do not condone the upsetting of the socioeconomic balance in the pursuit of equality. Instead, DCT will establish temporary training centers in these poor communities to train housewives and young girls (as well as any other group in need) in manufacturing their own technological solution to aid their domestic duties, such as housekeeper drones.
This is the ideology. Details regarding the infrastructure and political system of D'estinia will follow. |

For a second there, I thought I'd go make a humorous reply about how obviously this sounds like the scrapheap of a 'nation' Kuvakei tried installing a hundred years ago.
But I'm glad to see it's so painfully obvious that everyone else already pointed it out. I used to jest about you being a closet Sansha loyalist when you pointed out I'm an Angel, mr. Inhonores. Maybe I wasn't so far from truth, hm? - L. C, Domination Malakim .stillwater |

While i would jump on the "Seriphyn is turning into Sansha" band wagon it would be in poor taste considering Mr Inhonores unfortunate past with regards to Sansha's Nation.
instead ill ask how you manage to convince the Federation to allow you to establish this "Republiko" of yours considering the Federal navy found you to be psychologically unfit for service let alone be in charge of a colony. -á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á "Let Vigilance Be Your Sword" |

Ninety-nine percent of the colony's funding will come from a sole provider. The sole provider is neither a manufacturer nor a services provider, but a single juvenile whose income stream seems in the main skewed toward retaining positive public attention.
I will now step back and permit the economists among us to discuss the viability and long-term stability of this colony financing model. |

As pilot Fauconnier already indicated, one hopes that a significant fraction of the colony funding referred to will be used to bootstrap its economy, as opposed to smothering its society in charity. Also, as a minor quibble, you mentioned "heteronormative social orders" while apparently referring to the subordination of women. It would probably be more correct to refer to this as "patriarchal."
Beyond these concerns, I wish you and the Destiny Foundation success in this grand social engineering venture. May it enrich the lives of many. Ancestors bless and good fortune. |

Thank you for all of your comments. The original release has been updated with information regarding the infrastructure, government, foreign affairs, military and economy of the Respubliko. Doubts about the economic model of D'estinia are likely to be answered there.
As a personal aside, I must admit I am confused by the references to Sansha's Nation. Attempts at 'utopia' (although I would be reluctant to class D'estinia as one) have taken place throughout history. Indeed, the idea of highly-educated democracies is not an alien one in the Federation, and it has been romanticized by the great thinkers of Gallentia for thousands of years. Sansha Kuvakei was not the 'inventor' of the concept, not by a long shot. |

I reiterate that any aristocratic title held by Anette Inhonores will purely be ceremonial in nature. All political power will rest with the Consiglio della Respubliko.
The medical evaluation leading to my dismissal from the position Federal Military was an assessment purely for that position alone. It does not pass judgement on the viability of myself holding positions in planetary militaries. |

I know, right? I mean, fathers all over call their daughters "princess", but I've never heard of anyone actually making their daughter a princess. Very heart-warming! This entire thing is pretty heart-warming, as it keeps a peaceful future (and the children) always in mind.

You are such a disgrace to your people, I've met plenty of Ammatar, and the majority was very sound, respectful and rather intelligent.
You? A petty little woman with a tendency to whine and try to make smart jokes based on completely miss-representing history in so many different ways that, if it was not so... well, petty - then it would be hilarious.
For you Seriphyn, keep ignoring these fools with to much time and to little respect and do what you do. You are doing a great service to a great deal of people and no-one should be allowed to dissuade you from this path.

It appears you are not familiar with how the Federation political system is structured, M Perhi. The concept of 'Federation borders' understood in the modern sense is defined by CONCORD; otherwise, Federation territory is defined by its member states. While we will not be a member state of the Federated Union, the land purchased for D'estinia will be identified to higher authorites as private property belonging to the Destiny Foundation (in turn, a registered private foundation). Whether or not they recognize our sovereignty, as the Federation does with its member states, is currently not known.
D'estinia as a corporate republic pertains to the fact that all property and services will be owned by the Destiny Foundation, as the ruling authority. We otherwise function on a direct democratic system, as outlined in the release.
In regards to your other point, I cannot comment on the divinity of myself, my daughter, or any other member of the Inhonores family, as much as I would like to. |

Here are some updates:
1) Following negative feedback and constructive criticism regarding the chosen name of D'estinia amongst Destiny Foundation's GalNet community, the Board of Directors and Provisional Government have reached a joint decision to instead adopt the name of Elusenia. This is derived from the word elusen in a Gallentean planetary language. Initial reactions from the online DES-F community are so far positive.
2) Building on the above, the Serenissima Respublico of Elusenia is proud to reveal its national flag, depicting the goddesses Eleimosyni and Elpida. The usage of religious symbolism is purely aesthetic, and has no bearing on Elusenia's strictly secular constitution.
3) Anette Inhonores has formally rejected any aristocrat or noble titles to be bestowed upon her in recognition of her status as patroness of Elusenia. Therefore, Anette Inhonores will not hold any formally recognized position within Elusenia, but will nonetheless hold an unofficial status through her ongoing role as co-chair of the Destiny Foundation.
4) Construction of Elusenia and the capital city of Caerleon progresses smoothly, and should be complete in the following months. Application for citizenship similarly continues, and we estimate that the minimum required population will be exceeded in time for the official founding. Currently, Elusenia is only accepting highly-qualified individuals with a background in advanced civil engineering, education, healthcare, and information technology.

I'm going to abstain from commenting much in regard to my own opinion of Mr. Inhonores's venture, here - Though I will say that I find the idea of simply building an entire city and then asking people to move in after the fact a little bizzare and culturally sterile - It is a tad peculiar that it seems to be garnering such a considerable level of distaste from others in comparison to the equally sized personal corporations, petty holder domains, and other similar Capsuleer projects that many seem to flaunt about.

Again, reading up on Destiny Foundation is crucial here. Anette Inhonores is co-chair by virtue of the fact that our primary source of income is from her work in the entertainment industry. Although her non-adult age makes her oblivious to some of the nuances of corporate politics, she has her own personal set of advisors and artificial intelligences to inform her.
We regard Anette Inhonores's position as co-chair to be meritorious, due to the fact Destiny Foundation would not even exist without her efforts. It is ironic that, as the youngest member of the organization, she works harder than most of the adults in our employ.

I should just like to say;
The people of the Destiny Foundation are very nice people. They have shown the citizens of Nourvukainen great respect and kindness, and were welcome in Kakakela while they were here. The current political troubles with the Federation aside, they are friends of many Caldari. I'm glad to hear that they have a homeworld to call their own, now. |

TL;DR
I have a question for Miss Inhonores:
1) Have you been gifted a pony by your father, the government of Elusenia, any private citizen of Elusenia, or any of the fans of your holo-vid works?
And if not:
2) Have you ever asked for a pony from your dad? I bet he'd totally cave. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. |

I may regret putting this hat on again after so many years, but I frankly don't see how this is much different than the little nation-states that collect around each of us as capsuleers. Think about it. The poorest of us employ as many baseliners as a small planetside corporation. We are free to engage in trade and diplomacy (and by that I mean "declare war") on others with no regard for any citizenship they hold with any empire. We may charge off past the borders of those empires to found our own. About the only difference I can see in this is that it is not (not claimed to be, at least) an organization created to serve capsuleers. Bio and writing |

Just don't expect the rest of us to do like the baseliners do and smile and nod and pretend you're some kind of legitimate Statesman - because we know who you are and you don't have enough money to make us forget.
But you're right - ingenuous irrelevances and misplaced passive aggressive condescension are pretty much the only tones I've ever seen you speak in. It's probably why I can't abide you when I can even make peace with Julianus Soter - and that man tries to kill me daily!
Lots of "we" here, on behalf of capsuleers, I guess.
May I ask why you keep complaining about this? If Inhonores believes his time is better served doing what he is currently doing and it is of no consequence to you, why do you care so much? Especially if he annoys you. Consider your involvement in this matter carefully, you do not want to be the one telling Gallenteans what they should and should not be doing, in their own lands.

You know what, you're right. I believe this to be a vanity project doomed to end in unhappiness for the poor experimental test subjects, but it's no more or less odious than several such experiments currently ongoing. Despite the fact that several facets of it's planning and inception fly in the face of what I believe to be responsible governance - it isn't happening in the State and it isn't affecting State Citizens.
All Inhonores was doing was publishing a press release to the Capsuleer community - something well within his remit as 'Capsuleer Liaison' and, if I'm honest, the responsible thing to do is let the Marketplace of Ideas decide upon it's worthiness. |

While the project doesn't seem to be of particular interest to the rest of the Capsuleer community, wanton slaughter of innocent baseliners is beyond the pale. |
