Yes it was. For brevity, lets call it WittCorp.

It's deja vu all over again.
I agree with the first part of your statement although I seem to recall there was a mutual undertanding between the Kingdom and WittCorp in regards to the editorial decisions. The Kingdom and WittCorp had some negotiated guidelines that obviously are not in place with the Republic, hence the argument here.

Wittenberg has never been anything but a private medium to conduct Talossa on.
> I maintain it performs it's official functions here because my corporation has offered to let the government perform it's duties here for free of charge.
This is true. What concerns me is that the mutual understanding and agreement between you and the government has decayed again.
> I need a confirmation that Wittenberg is still a private corporation, and as such, that it's editorial policy for Adverts is not required to follow the convenants in their entirity, namely, that I can promulgate the ads rules I did.
I would have to concur that you should not be dictated to in these regards, however, I would expect you to honor any negotiated agreements with the Republic
> If Wittenberg is NOT a private corporation, than I demand compensation for my loss, since my property was thus illegally seized from my control, without compensation or permission.
WittCorp is private.
What needs to happen is that our legislature needs to look at the use, number, and content of party election ads and come up with a fair structure which would thenbe negiotiated with WittCorp.
These are my thoughts on this issue,
