Anti-Arlandican sentiment

Anti-Arlandican sentiment, or Arlanophobia, is prejudice, persecution, discrimination, fear, and hatred against Arlandicans, the Arlandican government, its monarch, or the culture of the Kingdom of Arlandica. Sources of this article are based on historical and intelligence reports from the Civil Guards of Arlandica (CGA) and the Royal Arlandican Intelligence Directorate (RAID).

Regional antipathy

Accande Terrie Ornindo (ATO)

During the Arland Crisis in March 2021, Accande Terrie Ornindo's Secretary-General, President Carl Miguel Victa, reportedly mocked Arlandica by labeling it a "useless member-state" in an online chatroom, as reported by Vilasian sources. Leaders of Renderfeit and AMPI also condemned Arlandica's actions. Blazetopia aligned itself with Renderfeit during the situation.

On May 2024, Jakwal, a micronation not recognized by Arlandica, leaked messages from Grand Duke Zakia Jacob Precioso of Zakinesia regarding a "military offensive" against members of Accande Terrie Ornindo, according to a report by the Special Forces. However, Zakinesia, whose leader is formerly the Supreme Commander of the Joint Security Forces of the newly-restored Santo Niño Cooperation Union (SNCU), did not provide any comments, nor did Jerold I.

Jakwal's leader, Andrew Spencer, reportedly mocked Arlandica using derogatory terms, including the word "ArlanDicka." He also uses propaganda against the arlandican monarch. He also uses propaganda against the Arlandican monarch. This forced Zakinesia to cut ties with Arlandica, but all requests were denied, according to its government.

On July 2024, according to the Special Forces, Sidney Utod, the leader of the Al-Faghira Imperial State, threatened to kill members of the Royal family and expressed his affiliation with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), an Islamist group.

Association of Micronations in the Philippine Islands (AMPI)

From October 2020 until April 2021, tensions between the member-states of the Association of Micronations in the Philippine Islands (AMPI), led by Fidelis against Arlandica, caused a growing anti-Arlandican sentiment within their organization. King Jerold I, who was the supreme leader at that time, warned AMPI that its actions and attitude would face consequences. The Central Committee of AMPI declared micronations affiliated with Accande Terrie Ornindo (ATO) as "Category 0." Arlandica did not recognize this decision. Jerold claimed that Rameses Casten, an AMPI member and Prince-Elector of Fidelis, engaged in cyberbullying towards him. Jerold I also alleged that AMPI questioned the legitimacy of Arlandica as a micronation and stated that Arlandica should be governed by adults rather than its founder. Jerold I added that this questioning of Arlandica's existence as a micronation was considered an insult to the Arlandican people.

On the other hand, AMPI's animosity towards Arlandica stems from Jerold's affiliation with communism as his ideology. Nevertheless, efforts to eliminate leftist ideologies in Arlandica were underway as Jerold aimed to establish a monarchy. A coup d'état attempt against Jerold I occurred due to this transitional process.

Renderfeit

Main article: Arland Crisis

Before the ratification of the Arlandic Agreement, Suleiman criticized Jerold I as arrogant, a moron, selfish, and incompetent. However, he simultaneously encouraged Jerold I to bring Arlandica under his administration. Jerold I agreed to sign the agreement under these circumstances.

After the ratification of the Arlandic Agreement, the citizens of Arlandica and its supporters at that time were discontented with the agreement. They had not been consulted, and Suleiman's rule had increased Arlandica's dependence on Renderfeit. Jerold I initiated a movement to restore independence. Amid the crisis, Jerold I would have faced criminal charges in Renderfeit had he not surrendered or ceased his actions. Despite this, he persisted in his actions. Eventually, Suleiman acknowledged Jerold I's legitimacy as the monarch of Arlandica.

Okasakawa

Before the crisis between Arlandica and Okasakawa occurred on February 2021, there was already a noticeable increase in Anti-Arlandican sentiment within the Okasakawa government. As a member-state of AMPI, the leaders had previously extended offers to Arlandica to become their vassal state. However, Jerold I rejected these offers, viewing them as an affront to Arlandica's right to exist as an independent micronation.

The offers made by Okasakawa were perceived as an insult to Arlandica's existence. Criticisms of Jerold's governance in Arlandica by Okasakawa further exacerbated tensions, eventually leading to the Okasakawan-Arlandican Crisis. The leader of Okasakawa, Angelus I, went as far as referring to Arlandica as a "penguin land." This reference was seen as an insult, as Arlandica's identity extends beyond being solely associated with penguins.

BreadDoge Empire (BDE)

On August 2022, the Civil Guards of Arlandica reported that members of an organization known as the Bread Doge Empire were spreading hate and discrimination against King Jerold I and key officials of Arlandica. The monarch took action and personally spoke to Dominick Guzman, an admin of the group. However, Guzman and his colleagues showed disrespectful behavior towards the monarch, leading King Jerold I to call it cyber libel for sharing old photos of him without permission.

As a result, the Santo Niño Cooperation Union declared BDE (including its factions: Bread Doge Federated Republic (BDFR), United Bread Doge Federation (UBDF), and Al-Brawner) as a foreign micronational terrorist organization, and the Inter-Agency Task Force for Countering Terrorism and Communist Threats (ITF-COM) was created.

Monzen

Main article: Muskobina standoff

On May 27, 2022, Monzen's chairman, Matthew de Villa, released propaganda intending to discriminate against Arlandicans and undermine Arlandica's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The announcement also declared intentions to invade and destroy Arlandica, causing significant concern within the Arlandican government and among its people, despite Monzen lacking weapons and vehicles.

In response, Arlandica took immediate action to safeguard itself and its citizens. The government enhanced security measures along its borders and engaged in diplomatic efforts to address the situation with Monzen.

Qinnowah

On September 2021, Qinnowah, led by Samuel Escueta, was involved in a case of hate towards the monarchy of Arlandica. For instance, Qinnowah supported the Republican Movement in Cataline (Nueva Bago). However, tensions with Arlandica were later eased as Qinnowah declared its dissolution.

Razorite State

On 2021, the leader of Razorite State, Augustin Magdato, accused Jerold I of committing acts of neocolonialism, such as expanding Arlandica's influence in Mindanao without his permission. The Arlandican government denied all of his accusations.

Zakinesia

On September 24, 2024, following its withdrawal from the Santo Niño Cooperation Union (SNCU), Zakinesia declared a state of war, which was considered an act of immaturity by SNCU. Zakinesia threatened King Jerold I with the destruction of Arlandica within two days by deploying 300 troops.

The Provincial Administration of Lémarita warned that Zakia Jacob Precioso's actions could lead to a possible arrest warrant issued by the Supreme Court of Arlandica, as Precioso's citizenship in Arlandica is still considered valid. The Ministry of Information has set an undisclosed schedule to revoke Precioso's Arlandican citizenship.

According to an article by the Hopeful Morning Broadcasting Network (HMBN), Arlandican Navy Commander Vice Admiral VJ Alvarez dismissed these claims as purely fictional, made by micronations seeking attention.

Benz Gian Arellano, the Governor-Representative of Lémarita, denied any claims regarding a stability plot and stated, “Lémarita and parts of Galrea remain untouched by any foreign micronations or terrorists. Don’t believe this kind of fake news.”

On October 7, the Supreme Court officially issued a warrant of arrest for Precioso for committing micronational crimes and violating two Arlandican laws.

Derogatory terms

There is a range of derogatory terms that pertain to Arlandica and its people. A significant number of these terms are considered offensive.

• ArlanDICKa – used to mock Arlandicans by incorporating derogatory language into the name of their micronation.
• Arlandicock – same usage as 'ArlanDICKa'.
• Arlandshit – same usage as 'ArlanDICKa'.
• Useless State – a term that characterizes Arlandica as a negligible micronation.
• Penguin Land – a term that refers Arlandica's former territorial claims in Antarctica.

Arlandican response

The RAID, with the collaboration of CGA and Ministry of Information, are taking action and closely monitoring the activities of governments and individuals in various micronations who are involved in cases of anti-Arlandican sentiment and disinformation.
