Mercy International is an international non-governmental organisation created to advance human rights causes for all Eurth citizens. The organisation was founded in 1973 during the height of the Second Argic War. It operates in accordance with the Assembled Nations (AN). The organisation claims it has well over three million members and supporters around the world.
Objectives
The mission statement of Mercy International as an organisation is: “Promote unalienable human rights to all individuals, regardless of their origin, background, or person; protect the disadvantaged from violations of their rights; therefore, allow for the health and prosperity of the entire Eurth.”
They define “human rights” as the following, including but not limited to:
- Civil Rights.
- Political Rights.
- Right to liberty, to live your life free of discrimination, to control one's own body, to freely exercise one's religion, to be free from prejudice (based on race, gender, national origin, colour, age, sex, or sexuality), to a fair trial and due process of the law, to accessible and quality education.
- Freedom of speech and thought.
- Freedom from slavery, torture, cruel and unusual punishment.
The organisation also seeks to achieve the following five specific goals:
- Increase political rights in oppressive nations.
- Provide humanitarian aid during times of conflict and crisis.
- Designate countries according to their level of human rights via a rating system.[1]
- Spread awareness of civil rights campaigns taking place around the wurld.
- Condemn national governments that engage in civil rights abuses.[2]
Structure
Mercy International conducts investigations into specific nations that are accused of substantial violations of human rights as determined by our administration. They also update our international rating system, reflecting the current standings of each nation in the wurld.
Each branch within a division coordinates operations within their respective nation. One branch per continent is designated as the headquarters of the division and is led by a Chief Operations Officer, and that branch oversees continent-wide projects. All other branches are coordinated by a Deputy Operations Officer.

Criticism
The Kronografia news agency of Tagmatium has described MR as “a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing”, highlighting what it calls the “creeping influence” and possible hidden agenda.[4] Additional news articles attempt to establish a connection with the government actions of Orioni, “spreading the ungodly beliefs” while “attempting to undermine our ancient way of life and sow an agenda detrimental to Christianity”.[5]
