> [@\[GMVA\] Petition to Head of the Senate, Federated Union of Gallente Prime, RE: SEMIKI](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/gmva-petition-to-head-of-the-senate-federated-union-of-gallente-prime-re-semiki/138295/10): > > Now that’s pure gallente bootlicking. Can’t say I expected something different. Technically, when citizens come abroad, they must oblige to the laws of the territory they reside in, and if something happens to them - it’s their fault. Then again, what this Federation was even thinking about when was sending their… citizens… work in the State they have open war with? Send them as spies? I remain amused that you also called it ‘collusion’ when ARC initiated its suit against the FIO over failures to comply with the HFA. Very simply, Kim, the Federation and State have continued trade relations, and corporations are doing business on both sides of the border. What’s more, I’ve made no representation as to what authority (if any) I believe the Federation has in this matter. What I’ve said is very simply this: the Federation has an interest in the welfare of its citizens. This doesn’t necessarily stop at the border. This is much as the State has interest in its citizens, within the State, Federation, Empire, Republic, or anywhere else; likewise, the Empire, the Republic, and so on. It’s really quite simple. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/utaris-puppies-formerly-off-topic-thread/5128)._
