It's obvious you think the ethics are ludicrous Aezeal.To summarise what they are: Don't be offensive to other players, and keen the conflicts in-character. As fabio8mi says, the idea is for the players to have fun and even make friends, while their nations go to war, possibly including sneaky tactics.

You just don't seem to get the bit about not being offensive. The reason for that policy is that everyone should have a good time. I don't understand why you would want to undermine that.

You are still encouraged to protest and produce all the propaganda you can about in-game things - just do it in character. I know you think I'm mad for saying it makes any difference, but I think it makes a world of difference.

Also, behaving like you have just annoys everyone and greatly decreases the probability of them helping you. It's true, I have had several players make comments to that effect. It's not so much witty political protest as just acting like a git.
