Petulant Child
"Petulant Child" is the recognition status given by the Rauratoshan Kingdom to ŋational objects whom Rauratoshan not only does not recognize as a state, but also actively wishes to punish.
Interaction with the entity on the level that punishments require, such as a trade embargo or conflict, requires Rauratoshan to recognize the entity as something. Thus, the title of Petulant Child allows Rauratoshan to recognize that a ŋational object exists, but that Rauratoshan considers its existence an affront to order in some fashion.
Petulant Children entities are given the rights of, well, a petulant child. That is to say, contracts with the state which becomes a Petulant Child are immediately nullified, and the Petulant Child cannot participate in the Rauratoshanian market.[1]
History of Petulant Children declarations
During the war between Pelialis and Grootland, both entities were declared Petulant Children due to their childish way of going to war with each other. Both statuses were dropped afterward.
When Ŋirhesim-Lix declared indepenedence,[2] Rauratoshan immediately recognized it as a Petulant Child, owing to its "tantrum" over the freedom of the Slimekins. Simultaneously, Rauratoshan recognized Çaigoŋ as a full state in addition to Adnar.
